Background: Respiratory failure is a condition in which the respiratory system fails to perform the function of gas exchange, namely the entry of oxygen and the exit of carbon dioxide. Patients with respiratory failure are usually put on a ventilator. Patients who are put on a ventilator will experience a buildup of secretions, to overcome this, chest physiotherapy and suction will be performed. Chest physiotherapy is a procedure performed on patients who experience secretion retention and oxygenation disorders who require assistance to thin or remove secretions. While suction is the act of inserting a suction catheter tube through the mouth or nose or endotracheal tube (ETT) which aims to reduce sputum retention, free the airway and prevent lung infections. The purpose of this community service is to teach and understand changes in oxygen saturation levels in patients with respiratory failure in the ICU room of the Dr. Ario Wirawan Salatiga Lung Hospital after chest physiotherapy and suction interventions. The methods used are training, lectures and direct demonstrations. The number of patients in this community service is 4 patients. The results of this community service are the effect of increasing oxygen saturation after chest physiotherapy and suction. That is, before chest physiotherapy, the average oxygen saturation level was 93%, after chest physiotherapy for 3 days it became 97%. While before suction, the average saturation level was 95%, after suction for 3 days the 4th saturation became 100%. The conclusion is that there is an increase in oxygen saturation levels after chest physiotherapy and suction in patients with respiratory failure in the ICU Room of the Dr. Ario Wirawan Salatiga Lung Hospital.

This study aims to explore the impact of long-term hijab use on women's hair health. Hair is considered an important part of one's appearance and is often seen as an indicator of physical well-being. The research began after a proposal seminar and was conducted at the Department of Beauty and Cosmetology at Padang State University.Based on existing literature, the use of the hijab can affect hair condition because it covers the head continuously, which may restrict air circulation and increase moisture on the scalp area. Previous studies have shown that women who wear the hijab for more than eight hours a day are at risk of experiencing hair problems such as hair loss, dandruff, and split ends. However, this research also notes that proper hair care can reduce these negative effects, so women who take good care of their hair tend to have healthier hair even while wearing the hijab.The focus of this study is on the general impact of hijab use on hair health, without considering the different hair types of the respondents. The results from observations and interviews emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate hair products to minimize the negative effects of hijab use, supporting the findings of previous studies.

This study analyzes the effect of green accounting, carbon emission disclosure, and environmental performance on firm value. The research is motivated by growing awareness of environmental sustainability, climate change concerns, and the demand for corporate transparency and accountability in managing environmental impacts. Firms are expected not only to achieve financial goals but also to actively manage environmental responsibilities to create long-term value for stakeholders. The research sample consists of 64 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2021–2023 that meet the purposive sampling criteria and provide complete sustainability and annual reports. A quantitative approach is used with secondary data from annual and sustainability reports. The independent variables are green accounting (X1), carbon emission disclosure (X2), and environmental performance (X3), while the dependent variable is firm value (Y), measured by Tobin’s Q ratio. Multiple linear regression analysis is applied along with classical assumption testing to ensure reliability, followed by partial and simultaneous hypothesis testing. The results indicate that green accounting has no significant effect on firm value, implying that adopting green accounting alone may not influence investor perceptions without broader environmental initiatives. Conversely, carbon emission disclosure and environmental performance have a positive and significant effect on firm value, showing that transparent reporting and measurable environmental improvements can strengthen market confidence. The R² value is 4.4%, suggesting other factors also contribute to firm value. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly affect firm value, highlighting the combined importance of environmental responsibility. The findings provide practical insights for managers, investors, and policymakers: implementing sustainability practices, particularly carbon emission disclosure and improved environmental performance, can enhance investor trust, strengthen corporate reputation, and ultimately increase firm value in the competitive market.

State-owned goods (BMN) that have been acquired must undergo proper management, which includes a series of activities such as bookkeeping, inventorying, and reporting of BMN by legal provisions. This is based on the Indonesian Minister of Finance Regulation No. 181/PMK.06/2016, Article 1, concerning the management of BMN. Optimization, in this context, refers to the goal of improving or refining existing performance to make it better than before. Therefore, the optimization of asset disposal at the AAL (Naval Academy) work unit must be implemented to ensure proper data management in Simak BMN. Over time, the value of these assets will depreciate annually, leading to the eventual disposal of BMN when they no longer hold any value or function and only incur maintenance costs compared to acquiring new BMN. At the Naval Academy, there is still a deficiency in the disposal of BMN that should have been removed from the BMN list, primarily due to insufficient coordination between work units, which results in poor reporting in the SIMAK BMN system. The researcher focuses on the Naval Academy in conducting this study within the work units in the AAL environment. This study is a qualitative descriptive research, utilizing data collection methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The research findings indicate that: 1) The disposal process at the Naval Academy work unit has not been carried out effectively. 2) There are still BMNs that have not been removed from the BMN list but should have been. 3) There is a lack of personnel knowledge in each work unit regarding asset disposal, disrupting the reporting process in Simak BMN.

The implementation of science learning in schools not only aims to improve students' academic understanding, but also plays an important role in building religious character. Research shows that the integration of religious values in science learning can strengthen students' belief in religious teachings and increase their positive behavior. For example, Islamic values integrated into science materials at the SD/MI level can encourage students to be more convinced of the existence of Allah and follow His provisions, thus forming a strong religious character. In addition, learning approaches that prioritize routine activities such as praying together and reading the Qur'an before lessons have also proven effective in instilling religious character. Furthermore, the application of learning modules that integrate basic concepts of science with Islamic values, such as those conducted at the University of KH Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan, shows that students can better understand the material while internalizing religious values in their daily lives. Other studies also emphasize the importance of character education programs integrated in the curriculum, where religious activities at school, such as congregational prayers and holiday celebrations, contribute significantly to the formation of students' religious character. Thus, well-designed science learning can be an effective means to build students' religious character.
