Concrete typically consists of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement, and water. However, cement production generates significant carbon dioxide emissions nearly equivalent to the tons of cement produced. One alternative to conventional concrete, which replaces cement as a binder, is geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer concrete utilizes fly ash or other materials containing silica and alumina as the binder. Unlike cement, which forms a binder through hydration, geopolymer concrete uses a chemical reaction with alkali activators such as Na2SiO3 (sodium silicate) and NaOH (sodium hydroxide). This study investigates the toughness of geopolymer concrete using cylindrical specimens measuring 15 cm x 30 cm with varying Na2SiO3 to NaOH ratios of 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:1.5, cured at room temperature for 28 days. The study results show that the highest toughness was achieved with a sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio of 1.5, yielding 2.7394 x 105 J/m3. Meanwhile, the toughness values for sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratios of 0.5 and 1.0 were 2.3748 x 105 J/m3 and 2.5821 x 105 J/m3, respectively. Thus, increasing the sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio from 0.5 to 1.5 at an activator content of 0.43 affects the toughness of geopolymer concrete.

Sukomulyo is a village located in Kaliwungu Selatan District, Kendal Regency, most of whose residents work as farmers. The rice fields in Sukomulyo village are irrigated using river water which is taken directly from the Waridin River with a diesel water pump. The process of irrigating the rice fields takes a long time, so the water pumps are simply left alone by the farmers because they are doing other activities. Often farmers forget to turn off the water pumps they turn on, resulting in wasteful use of river water and fuel. When the dry season arrives, there could be a decrease in the river water discharge to the ground which has the potential to result in farmers not being able to irrigate their rice fields with water. To overcome this problem, the Sukomulyo farmer group in collaboration with the PPL (Agricultural Extension Worker) of Kaliwungu Selatan District built a water pump house which is used for their rice field irrigation needs. With the construction of the water pump house, it is hoped that it can irrigate farmers' rice fields during the dry season and can increase agricultural production in Sukomulyo Village and can reduce farmers' worries when the river water does not flow

An earthquake is a type of natural disaster which occurs due to the movement of tectonic plates. The time and location of an earthquake cannot be predicted, so people living in earthquake-prone areas should have good knowledge of earthquake disasters as capital in anticipating earthquake disasters. Various efforts need to be made to increase knowledge about earthquake disasters, one of which is through education. In the education sector, efforts to increase knowledge about earthquake disasters can be done through the integration of game-based learning in schools. One of the schools that is vulnerable to earthquakes is SMP Negeri 1 Polanharjo, Klaten Regency. This school is one of the schools that was affected by the earthquake disaster in Klaten Regency in 2006. The aim of this activity is to (1) increase knowledge about earthquake disasters through the implementation of game-based learning media (disaster SOS and puzzles) for social studies teachers and students at SMP Negeri 1 Polanharjo and (2) increase the capacity of teachers and students in dealing with earthquake disasters. The targets of this activity are social studies teachers and OSIS administrators at SMP Negeri 1 Polanharjo. The implementation method is through socialization and practice in using game-based learning media, namely disaster SOS and puzzles. The results of the activity showed that (1) the implementation of game-based learning media (disaster SOS and puzzles) can increase the motivation of teachers and students in studying earthquake disasters and (2) this media can increase the capacity of teachers and students regarding earthquake disasters.

Post-Caesarean Section (CS) nausea and vomiting are common complications arising from the effects of anesthesia and hormonal changes, which can significantly affect patient comfort and hinder recovery. The administration of antiemetic drugs, while effective, often results in side effects, necessitating the need for alternative non-pharmacological treatments that are both safe and effective. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of ginger inhalation therapy in reducing nausea and vomiting in post-CS patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Surakarta Hospital. A participatory approach was used involving 15 patients, who were divided into two groups: an experimental group receiving ginger inhalation therapy and a control group. Nausea levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) both before and after the intervention. The results indicated that the group receiving ginger inhalation therapy experienced a significant reduction in nausea, with the average NRS score decreasing from 7.2 to 3.8. In contrast, the control group’s NRS score decreased from 7.2 to 6.5. These findings suggest that ginger inhalation therapy is an effective, easy-to-implement, and low-risk alternative to pharmacological treatments for managing postoperative nausea and vomiting. This method could serve as a valuable non-pharmacological option in the postoperative care of CS patients, offering a safe and accessible approach to improving patient outcomes.

Financial conglomerates are considered to have a significant role in a country’s economy. A well-developed financial conglomerate will bring economy’s positive growth. However, when one collapses, systemic risk cannot be avoided to the financial system. The study conducts a comparative analysis of financial conglomerates/financial holding companies policies in six countries: Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. Furthermore, the research examines the literature review method of financial conglomerates criteria, structure, synergy, intragroup transactions, and data protection. In general, the requirements of financial conglomerates within research sample countries align with the Joint Forum. Indonesia is still developing the financial conglomerate’s minimum assets and members. Singapore is more concerned with a portion of assets, capital, liabilities, or income, while Taiwan regulates the total assets and paid-in capital. Malaysia regulates strictly with specific minimum ownership, while Australia focuses more on transaction materiality. The synergy among members of financial conglomerates may improve efficiency—however, the intragroup transactions raise systemic risk. Consumer data protection should be considered when financial conglomerates conduct cross-selling. From this study, policymakers should enhance their policies so that financial conglomerates take more advantage of generating the country’s economy while managing challenges to the financial system’s stability.
