Employee performance is not merely a benchmark stipulated by an organization; rather, it constitutes a pivotal determinant that substantially contributes to the attainment of corporate objectives and long-term sustainability. Superior performance illustrates the extent to which employees are capable of executing their designated responsibilities, which subsequently exerts a direct influence on organizational productivity, efficiency, and growth trajectory. Among the multidimensional variables affecting performance, two particularly salient aspects are work discipline and work motivation. Discipline functions as a regulatory mechanism that ensures adherence to established norms, policies, and operational procedures, while motivation operates as an internal drive that fosters persistence, engagement, and consistency in accomplishing tasks. Collectively, these two dimensions are assumed to exert a decisive influence on performance outcomes. The present study endeavors to examine the impact of work discipline and work motivation on employee performance within CV Arga Jaya, located in Depok City. Employing a quantitative research design, this investigation utilizes multiple linear regression analysis facilitated through SPSS version 27. The study encompasses a population comprising employees from both administrative and operational divisions, yielding a total of 43 valid respondents. Data were elicited through the administration of structured questionnaires as the principal instrument. The empirical results reveal that work discipline (X1) and work motivation (X2) simultaneously exert a significant influence on performance (Y), corroborated by an F-count of 6.38 exceeding the F-table value of 3.23 with a significance level of 0.004. Partial analysis indicates that work discipline (X1) has a significant positive impact, with a T-count of 2.377 surpassing the T-table threshold of 2.021. Conversely, work motivation (X2) demonstrates no significant partial effect, as evidenced by a T-count of 1.339 and a significance level of 0.188. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.242 suggests that 24.2% of the variation in performance is explained by these factors, whereas 75.8% is attributable to variables beyond the scope of this study.

A sump is a water reservoir that functions to accommodate runoff water in the pit before the water is pumped. This study was conducted to determine the location plan and sump capacity based on the direction of mine progress and the actual estimation of runoff discharge that enters the pit at PT. Wahyu Murti Garuda Kencana, Central Kalimantan. There is a water problem that interferes with production activities because the actual sump dimensions are insufficient to accommodate the daily discharge of water that enters the sump. So that the impact on the mining front is flooded or there is waterlogging that disrupts mining activities. The progress of the mine is directed towards the north of the sump so that the distance and dimensions of the actual sump are ineffective and unable to accommodate the incoming water discharge in accordance with the direction of the mine progress due to the mining location in the pit which is easily submerged by water. The drainage condition at PT. Wahyu Murti Garuda Kencana uses the mine dewatering method which is a method of removing water that flows into the mining sump using a pump. Theoretically, by conducting direct research on the sump area of PT. Wahyu Murti Garuda Kencana, the actual sump dimensions are insufficient to accommodate the water discharge that enters the pit. The design carried out pays attention to the mining plan so that the sump design to be designed can be applied in the field in accordance with the mine design. The shape of the sump designed is a trapezoidal shape with dimensions of 80 m x 70 m cross-section, 74 m x 64 m bottom section, depth of 4 m and 55 degree tilt angle and a total sump volume capacity of 20,672 m3.

Labor is the process of expelling the products of conception, namely the fetus and placenta, after reaching full term and being viable in the womb. There are two types of delivery: normal delivery and caesarean section (SC). Caesarean section (SC) is a surgical procedure performed through an incision in the uterine wall to deliver the fetus. Caesarean delivery is indicate in cases of cephalopelvic disproportion, breech or transverse fetal position, fetal weight exceeding 4,000 grams, or maternal health conditions that may endanger the mother and fetus. One of the common complications following caesarean delivery is pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. An intervention that can be applied to reduce post SC pain is Guided Imagery Therapy. Guided imagery therapy is a non-pharmacological intervention aimed at reducing and controlling pain by creating pleasant and relacing thoughts, focusing on breathing, and visualizing positive scenarios. This study employed a descriptive case study design using the nursing process from assessment to evaluation. The study was conducted on two patients with moderate pain (pain scale 4-6) after SC at TK II Putri Hijau Hosiptal Medan. The results showed that after the application of guided imagery therapy for three days with a duration of 40 minutes per session, pain levels decreased to mild (pain scale 1-3). In ptient I, pain decreased from a score of 5 to 3, an in patient 2, from a score of 6 to 3. In conclusion, guided imagery therapy was successfully applied in reducing post -SC pain levels and can serve as a reference for further research on pain reduction following caesarean section.

Waste candlenut shells are one type of biomass that has significant potential to be developed as an alternative energy source, particularly in the form of briquettes. Candlenut shells, which are typically discarded as agricultural waste, contain combustible material that can be transformed into solid fuel. However, the traditional briquette molding process is still done manually, which is time-consuming, inefficient, and often results in inconsistent briquette shapes and density. This study aims to design and develop a briquette molding machine specifically for processing candlenut shell waste, with the goal of improving both production efficiency and the quality of the briquettes produced. The research methodology includes several stages: mechanical design, selection of appropriate materials, fabrication of machine components, assembly, and performance testing of the machine. The resulting machine utilizes a screw conveyor compression system powered by a 5.5 HP petrol engine. It features a cylindrical mold with a 40 mm diameter to shape the briquettes uniformly. During the performance test, the machine demonstrated a maximum production capacity of 14.3 kg per hour, with an average processing time of 24 minutes and a briquette yield reaching up to 85%. The findings indicate that the machine can significantly streamline the briquette production process while maintaining product consistency and quality. This briquette molding machine is particularly suitable for household and small-scale industries aiming to utilize renewable energy sources and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. The use of this machine also supports environmental sustainability by converting agricultural waste into a usable energy product.
