The distribution of social assistance in Indonesia faces challenges such as inaccurate recipient data, overlapping programs, and limitations of traditional data management systems that lead to inaccurate targeting of aid. This study proposes a social assistance distribution optimization system using the Greedy algorithm that assesses recipient priorities based on economic conditions, number of family members, location, and urgency of needs with certain weights to produce objective rankings. This system is implemented in a JavaScript-based web application without external frameworks, making it lightweight and easily accessible. Simulations with 20 prospective recipients and a quota of 10 slots and validation with a dataset of 10,000 entries show that the Greedy algorithm produces identical results to Dynamic Programming but is much faster (669 times faster). In terms of complexity, this algorithm has O(n log n) time and O(n) space, and meets the requirements of the Greedy Choice Property and Optimal Substructure, making it a practical and efficient solution for managing large-scale social assistance distribution in Indonesia.

This study concludes that product bundling strategies, loyalty programs, reactivation campaigns, and premium services can be applied to increase the effectiveness of coffee shop businesses.

This study examines the effect of capital structure, dividend policy, and firm size on firm value at PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk during the period 2014–2024. The company’s firm value has shown fluctuations and a declining trend despite an increase in total assets, indicating a mismatch between asset growth and market perception. This study aims to analyze the influence of internal financial factors on firm value, both partially and simultaneously. A quantitative approach is employed using secondary data obtained from the company’s annual financial statements. Capital structure is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), dividend policy using the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), firm size using the natural logarithm of total assets, and firm value using Tobin’s Q. Data are analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS, supported by classical assumption tests, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that partially, capital structure and dividend policy do not have a significant effect on firm value, while firm size has a significant effect. Simultaneously, all independent variables have a significant effect on firm value. The findings indicate that firm size plays a dominant role, while other factors may also influence firm value beyond the model.

Tinea favosa is a rare but destructive form of chronic dermatophytosis fungal infection. It is marked by the development of scutules (yellowish, cup-like crusts) and can lead to permanent cicatricial alopecia if not treated appropriately. Although its prevalence is decreasing globally, sporadic cases are still common in areas with poor sanitation. Trichophyton schoenleinii is the primary medical cause of Tinea favosa, but it can also be caused by Trichophyton violaceum or Microsporum gypseum. This report discusses a case involving a 7-year-old boy who exhibited classic clinical signs of favus. Diagnostic procedures included a physical examination, direct microscopic examination with 10-20% KOH solution, and culture on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) to identify the fungal species. Microscopic examination revealed branching and fragmented hyphae (arthrospores) and air tunnels within the hair shaft. Culture confirmed Trichophyton schoenleinii as the primary etiologic agent. The patient was treated with oral griseofulvin combined with ketoconazole cream for 8–12 weeks. Follow-up showed resolution of the crusts and cessation of the inflammatory process, although areas of fibrosis showed permanent hair loss.

The Juvenile Criminal Justice System (SPPA) in Indonesia is a manifestation of special protection for children in conflict with the law, prioritizing the principles of restorative justice and diversion. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the SPPA based on Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System and to identify the legal challenges that arise in its practice. The research method used is normative legal with a legislative and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that although the regulations mandate diversion efforts as a top priority in resolving juvenile cases, there are still obstacles in its implementation, both in terms of the readiness of law enforcement officials, limited supporting facilities, and the perception of the community, which still tends to expect a retributive (punitive) approach. In addition, the protection of children's rights during the judicial process is often not optimally fulfilled. This analysis concludes that strengthening inter-agency coordination and increasing law enforcement officials' understanding of restorative justice are key to the effectiveness of this system. Further regulatory harmonization and strengthening the role of the Correctional Center in overseeing the diversion process are needed to ensure that the best interests of the child remain the top priority at every stage of the judicial process

Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa that often causes pain in the epigastric area, which can reduce patient comfort and quality of life. This condition requires treatment that is not only pharmacological, but can also be supported by non-pharmacological interventions such as warm compresses that function to provide a relaxing effect and improve blood circulation. This study aims to determine the effect of warm compresses on reducing pain intensity in gastritis patients. The research method used was descriptive with a case study approach on one patient treated in the inpatient ward. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation using the PQRST method to assess pain. The intervention in the form of warm compresses was given for three days with a frequency of once a day for ± 15–20 minutes in the epigastric area. The results showed a gradual decrease in pain intensity from a scale of 6 to a scale of 2 after the intervention, as well as an increase in patient comfort. The implications of this study indicate that warm compresses can be used as an effective, safe, and easy-to-implement independent nursing intervention to help reduce pain in gastritis patients and improve the quality of nursing care.

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in the upper trapezius muscle is one of the disorders commonly found in the neck area, characterized by myofascial trigger points (MTrP) in taut bands or tight muscle bands. Kinesio taping (KT) is a non-invasive therapy used in the management of MPS of the upper trapezius to improve neck disability measured using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). However, stronger evidence is still needed regarding the effectiveness of KT in reducing neck disability scores in MPS upper trapezius. This study aims to review and analyze the effectiveness of KT on NDI scores in MPS upper trapezius. The research method used is a systematic review employing PRISMA-P and the PICOS framework. The sample and population of the study consist of articles obtained from databases such as Crossref, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar. Keywords such as "Kinesio Taping," "Myofascial Pain Syndrome," and "Myofascial Trigger Point" were used. The results of the descriptive analysis of the selected articles showed that KT significantly reduced the NDI value in MPS upper trapezius. In conclusion, KT is effective in improving functional disability in the neck caused by MPS upper trapezius, and KT can be a therapeutic option either alone or in combination with other therapies.

Fracture is a condition characterized by the disruption of bone continuity that often causes acute pain, especially in patients following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF). Effective pain management is essential to support the recovery process and improve patient comfort during hospitalization. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cold compress therapy (cryotherapy) in reducing pain intensity in post-ORIF patients. This study used a case study method on a patient diagnosed with a right humerus fracture at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital. Data were collected through interviews, interventions, and documentation using the PQRST method. Cryotherapy was administered once daily for three consecutive days using an ice bag applied to the painful area. The results showed a gradual decrease in pain intensity from scale 7 to 6 on the first day, 5 on the second day, and 4 on the third day. The patient also reported increased comfort after the intervention. These findings indicate that cryotherapy is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in reducing postoperative pain and improving patient comfort.

Food waste is a global issue that has a major impact on the economy, environment, and food security. The high rate of food waste is directly influenced by food waste behavior. Also, food waste behavior does not just appear, but it is supported by other factors such as food waste knowledge and food preferences. As an effort to prevent the increase in food waste, it is important to know the relationship between these two factors and the occurrence of food waste behavior. The method used is a literature review of open access scientific articles with English language used and published in the period 2015–2025 through the Google Scholar databases. The results of the review show that most studies found a significant relationship between food waste knowledge and food preferences with food waste behavior. However, some studies also showed inconsistent results. Although many studies support the relationship between food waste knowledge and food preferences with food waste behavior, the difference in results also indicates that there are still other factors that are strongly related to food waste behavior, so more comprehensive efforts are needed to reduce the occurrence of food waste behavior.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between caffeine consumption and sleep duration on VO₂Max levels among soccer school (SSB) students in Surabaya. VO₂Max is a key indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness and athletic performance. This research employed a quantitative cross-sectional design with an analytical observational approach. A total of 162 SSB students were included as research participants from several soccer schools in Surabaya. Data were collected using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to assess caffeine intake and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate sleep duration, and were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results revealed a significant relationship between caffeine consumption and sleep duration with VO₂Max (p<0.001). Students with higher caffeine consumption (≥3.5) and adequate sleep duration (≥7 hours) tended to have better VO₂Max values compared to those with lower caffeine intake and insufficient sleep. These findings indicate that appropriate caffeine consumption and adequate sleep duration play an important role in improving cardiorespiratory fitness. Therefore, proper education on healthy lifestyle habits is essential to optimize the performance of young athletes.

Inappropriate complementary feeding (MPASI) practices remain a public health concern, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life, as they contribute to the risk of growth disorders such as stunting. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic factors and maternal decision-making processes with complementary feeding practices based on consumer behavior theory. This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 240 mothers with children aged 6–23 months in the working area of Puskesmas Putat Jaya, Surabaya. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed significant relationships between socioeconomic status and decision-making processes, as well as between decision-making processes and complementary feeding practices (p<0.05). Mothers with higher socioeconomic status tended to have better decision-making processes and more appropriate feeding practices. However, overall practices were not fully aligned with recommended standards. These findings indicate that improving complementary feeding practices requires not only knowledge enhancement but also strengthening maternal decision-making capacity within their socioeconomic context.

This case report examines the effectiveness of a combined pulmonary rehabilitation and musculoskeletal physiotherapy program for a 26-year-old male post-pulmonary tuberculosis patient with lumbar tuberculous spondylitis. The patient, who had completed anti-tuberculosis treatment, presented with low back pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and limited mobility. Spirometry indicated severe restrictive ventilatory impairment (FVC 1.28 L, 32% of predicted), and lower extremity muscle strength was reduced (MMT 2-3/5). The patient used a TLSO brace and walking aid. Over a three-week physiotherapy program, the patient participated in breathing exercises, spinal mobilization, muscle strengthening, functional exercises, and education on brace use. Evaluation occurred at the first, second, and third weeks. After treatment, pain intensity decreased from VAS 6 to VAS 3, FVC improved to 1.72 L, chest expansion increased, muscle strength improved to MMT 4/5, and performance on the Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test showed progress. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score increased from 98 to 115, reflecting improved functional independence. These findings suggest that the combination of pulmonary and musculoskeletal physiotherapy effectively improved respiratory function, muscle strength, and the patient’s overall functional capacity.

According to the International Agency for Cancer Registry (IACR), breast cancer is the most common cancer among women after lung cancer, and continues to be frequently diagnosed worldwide. In 2022, more than 2.32 million new cases of breast cancer were reported globally, while Indonesia recorded 65,858 cases (16.6% of all cancers). Therefore, adolescent girls need to have adequate knowledge and a positive attitude toward breast self-examination (BSE/SADARI) as part of reproductive health awareness and preventive efforts. This study aims to examine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes regarding SADARI among 10th-grade female students at MAN (State Islamic Senior High School) 3 Sleman. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach with a cross-sectional design, involving a sample of 66 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing questions related to BSE. The Spearman Rank test showed a p-value of 0.606, which is greater than 0.05 (p > 0.05). This indicates that there is no significant relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward BSE among 10th-grade female students at MAN 3 Sleman. In addition, the correlation coefficient (r) was 0.065, indicating a very weak relationship between knowledge and attitudes. There is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes regarding BSE among 10th-grade female students at MAN 3 Sleman. Schools and healthcare providers are encouraged to enhance structured and continuous BSE education and incorporate educational media during health counseling to foster positive attitudes.

This study employed a quasi-experimental research design and was conducted at Kanda Public Health Center. The population consisted of all mothers with children under three years old in the working area of Kanda Public Health Center, totaling 245 mothers. The sample size in this study was 35 respondents. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant difference in mothers’ knowledge before and after the training on complementary feeding preparation, with a significance value of 0.000.

Burnout among nurses is a serious problem that can reduce the quality of nursing services and the well being of nurses. Work motivation and self efficacy are psychological factors that play an important role in reducing burnout. The aim is to minimize the occurrence of burnout among nurses in their performance.The purpose of this study is to determine the significance of the relationship between work motivation and self efficacy with the level of burnout among nurses. This research is quantitative in nature with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires administered to 98 respondents from the total population. The instruments used included a work motivation questionnaire (ERG), a general self-efficacy scale (GSES), and a Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The data collected was processed using Spearman's test and ordinal logistic regression. Results researchers found that respondents who reported high work motivation numbered 89 respondents with a percentage of (90.8%), self-efficacy among nurses also showed a high category in 90 respondents with a percentage of (91.8%), and the majority of burnout levels were in the low category range of 65 respondents with a percentage of (66.4). Statistical tests showed a relationship between work motivation and burnout levels with a p-value of 0.000 (a = -0.358), and showed that there was a relationship between self-efficacy and burnout levels with a p-value of 0.013 (a = -0.250). Furthermore, multivariate statistics found that work motivation was the dominant factor influencing burnout with a p-value of 0.012 (E = -2.030). Conclusion there is a significant relationship between work motivation and self-efficacy with the level of burnout among nurses. Nurses with high work motivation and self-efficacy tend to have lower levels of burnout. Work motivation is a dominant factor in influencing burnout.

Anxiety disorders are common mental health problems among adolescents, particularly high school students who face academic demands, social pressure, and emotional changes. Family support, sleep quality, and academic stress are considered factors related to students’ anxiety levels. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family support, sleep quality, academic stress, and anxiety disorders among students of SMAN 1 Sumbawa Besar. An analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 114 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Perceived Social Support–Family (PSS-Fa), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Educational Stress Scale for Adolescence (ESSA), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis employed binary logistic regression. Bivariate results indicated significant associations between family support, sleep quality, academic stress, and anxiety disorders (p < 0.05). However, multivariate analysis revealed that only family support and sleep quality were significantly associated with anxiety disorders, while academic stress was not significant after controlling for other variables. These findings suggest that anxiety prevention efforts should prioritize strengthening family support and improving sleep quality, alongside academic stress management within the school environment.
