Bajakah tampala (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk.) is a medicinal plant that is traditionally used by the Dayak people to overcome various diseases, including indigestion such as diarrhea and dysentery. This plant is known to contain secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and phenolics, which have the potential to have antibacterial activity. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of pulp extract of patchy bajakah with n-hexane solvent against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. The extract was obtained through the maceration method and tested using the well diffusion method at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%. The results showed a relatively low yield of the extract (0.10–0.14%) with a reddish-orange color. The inhibition zones formed ranged from 4.28–5.55 mm with significant differences between concentrations (p = 0.000), but the antibacterial activity was relatively low. These findings indicate that the active compounds of the patch stalk are likely to be more polar or semi-polar, so they are less optimally extracted using the nonpolar solvent n-hexane. Therefore, further research with different solvent variations, particularly those that are polar, is urgently needed to uncover the greater antibacterial potential of these plants.

Enteric bacterial infectious diseases such as Escherichia coli are still a serious health problem in many countries, mainly due to the increasing cases of antibiotic resistance that cause the effectiveness of conventional therapies to decline. This condition encourages the search for safer and more effective natural alternatives, one of which is propolis produced by the Trigona sp. bee Trigona sp. Propolis is known to contain a variety of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and phenolic acid, which act as antimicrobials. This study aims to test the antibacterial activity of propolis extract against E. coli by the sumpray diffusion method. The results of the study showed that there was an inhibition zone that varied according to the concentration of the extract. At a concentration of 10%, an average inhibition zone of 19.85 mm (strong category), a 20% concentration of 22.35 mm (very strong), and a concentration of 30% reaches 26.62 mm (very strong). In comparison, the positive control of ciprofloxacin produced 21.25 mm of resistance, while the negative control (DMSO) showed no activity. ANOVA analysis confirmed significant differences between treatments (p < 0.05). These findings confirm that propolis extract has the potential to be developed as an effective natural antimicrobial agent.

In addition, participants reported gaining new understanding about their active role in maintaining environmental health and reducing the risk of DHF transmission. The involvement of the community not only ensured that the ovitraps were effectively utilized, but also encouraged sustainable behavior in mosquito control practices. Overall, this program demonstrated that simple, low-cost, and community-based interventions such as ovitraps, combined with education and awareness campaigns, can contribute significantly to reducing the breeding sites of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and lowering the potential spread of DHF in endemic areas.

Pain is one of the main complaints experienced by postoperative patients, including those undergoing laminectomy, which can interfere with comfort, hinder mobility, and slow the healing process. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions such as relaxation techniques have become important alternatives for reducing pain holistically. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the finger-holding relaxation technique in reducing pain in postoperative laminectomy patients. The study used a descriptive case study design involving a patient named Mrs. S in the Amarilis Ward of Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Regional Hospital, Purwokerto. The intervention was carried out for three consecutive days, twice a day, with each session lasting 15 minutes. The results showed a marked decrease in pain score from a scale of 7 (severe pain) on the first day to 1 (mild pain) on the fourth day, accompanied by gradual improvement in physical mobility, absence of surgical wound infection, and better discharge readiness. This technique also had a positive impact on the patient’s emotional comfort. Therefore, the finger-holding relaxation technique is proven to be a simple yet effective intervention in supporting the holistic recovery of postoperative laminectomy patients.

Enhancing the efficiency of renewable energy on ships is crucial for reducing dependency on fossil fuels. This research employs the Research and Development (R&D) method, aiming to design and implement a solar panel optimization system for battery charging, with a focus on increasing power efficiency and providing real-time performance monitoring. The system is designed using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to maximize the solar panel's power output. A 200Wp solar panel with dimensions of 1290 x 760 x 30 mm was utilized. Static testing results show that the deployed sensors possess a high degree of accuracy, with an average error of 0.71% for the temperature sensor and only 1.81% for the light sensor used to monitor environmental conditions. Dynamic and system integration tests prove that the MPPT implementation significantly increases power output efficiency by 30.83% compared to a system without MPPT. Furthermore, the system with MPPT charges the battery approximately 27% faster. Additionally, the developed Modbus protocol-based monitoring system enables comprehensive and remote monitoring of key parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and light intensity via a cloud database. Data communication reliability tests confirmed the system's capability to transmit entire data packets to a Google Sheets database at a periodic interval of 15 seconds without failure. Based on these results, the developed solar panel optimization system is feasible for implementation in maritime environments to enhance the utilization efficiency of renewable energy and the operational reliability of onboard systems.

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.

Menstrual cycle disorders can negatively impact athletic performance. A combination of irregular eating patterns and intense training can increase the risk of such disturbances. Factors influencing menstrual cycle irregularities include nutritional status, physical activity, dietary habits, stress levels, smoking, hormonal medication use, and endocrine disorders. A study conducted in Semarang found that 28.8% of female athletes experienced menstrual cycle issues. This research aims to investigate how physical activity and food intake affect menstrual cycle disorders among adolescent volleyball athletes in Kudus Regency. The methodology employed was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach, selecting 46 respondents using purposive sampling techniques. The IPAQ and SQFFQ questionnaires were used as research instruments. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results indicated that the majority of athletes had a high level of physical activity (76.1%), while 50% were categorized as having severe food intake deficits. Additionally, 78.3% of athletes experienced menstrual cycle disturbances, which included 36 individuals. Bivariate analysis revealed that physical activity influenced the menstrual cycle of adolescent volleyball athletes (p-value = 0.045), and dietary intake also had an effect (p-value = 0.000). Therefore, both physical activity and eating patterns significantly impact menstrual cycle disorders among adolescent volleyball athletes.

High-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy with a number of risk factors that can cause more serious risks or complications and disrupt the pregnancy process until the postpartum period which endangers the life of the mother and fetus, and occurs due to several factors including pregnancies that are too close together, pregnancies with a mother's age that is too young or old, or pregnancies with too frequent births. Too close pregnancy spacing is a pregnancy gap of <24 months (2 years) between the current pregnancy and the previous pregnancy. Based on the midwifery management method described by VARNEY and SOAP, this study aims to offer complete midwifery care services to Mrs. T, from pregnancy to the use of contraceptives, through a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach.

This research aims to analyze the relevance of applying restorative justice in resolving counterfeiting cases committed by children, by examining the normative, juridical, and practical aspects within Indonesia’s juvenile criminal justice system. The background of this study arises from the dilemma between protecting the rights of children as offenders and the state’s obligation to maintain economic stability and public trust in the national currency. The research method employed is juridical-descriptive with a normative approach,. The implementation of restorative justice can still safeguard public interests, provided it involves relevant institutions such as Bank Indonesia and produces measurable recovery agreements. Thus, restorative justice serves as an alternative approach that balances child protection and legal certainty, while also contributing to the prevention of counterfeit money circulation in society.

A country in its efforts to prosper the people requires a lot of money. For this reason, financial resources are needed to finance the state, which come from Customs levies and other legal levies. Smuggling crime is a serious problem in the administration of the state economy, this is because if smuggling increases with various physical, or administrative forms, it will result in more money not being collected by a country, thus hampering the targets set by the state through customs levies which are expected to increase every year. Legal smuggling is an act that aims to avoid the application of national law so that the person concerned obtains a certain benefit according to his wishes. This smuggling consists of two types, namely physical smuggling and administrative smuggling. Legislation regarding smuggling offenses is contained in Law Number 17 of 2006 concerning Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10 of 1995 concerning Customs. And the parties responsible and related to the field of customs and excise must be more selective in checking export and import goods entering or leaving Indonesia, because misuse of procedures or authority will have a major impact on state losses.

This study examines the utilization of haiku as a form of response to postwar trauma through Kaneko Tota’s and Saito Sanki’s war-themed haiku. Following Japan’s defeat in World War II in 1945, a cultural shift occurred marked by transformation within traditional arts, particularly haiku, which became a significant medium for expressing traumatic historical and social experiences. Although both poets used haiku as a medium to express dissatisfaction and critique the socio-political conditions of the postwar period, they represented different generations and approaches in responding to postwar trauma. Saito, having directly experienced the trauma of war, developed a deconstructive strategy towards traditional haiku conventions. Meanwhile, Kaneko, belonging to the postwar generation, adopted a more radical approach in formal and semantic experimentation. These dual strategies not only embodied individual artistic responses to trauma but also contributed to a broader cultural project aimed at reconstructing Japan’s collective identity in the postwar era. Yuri Lotman’s cultural semiotics framework is employed to analyze the semiotic transformation dynamics in the poets' works. Lotman’s theory, with its key concepts of semiosphere, cultural text, and translation mechanisms, offers a comprehensive analytical tool for understanding the dynamics of sign systems and cultural meanings in World War II-themed haiku. From the analysis of five war-themed haiku, it is concluded that both poets constructed a collective trauma discourse. Rather than employing explicit descriptive narratives, the trauma discourse utilizes strong semiotic condensation strategies. Saito and Kaneko juxtaposed established cultural symbols and codes, such as Hiroshima as a metaphor of absolute destruction, the marathon as a symbol of life, breasts as a symbol of motherhood, and blooming flowers representing renewal into new surreal configurations that created novel meanings at the semiotic boundaries where tensions clashed.

This study highlights the crucial role of learning interest as a key determinant of success in the educational process. The research was conducted through interviews with teachers and direct observations in the learning environment, aiming to explore how various factors influence students’ interest, particularly in religious education. The findings indicate that teachers play an essential role by adopting creative approaches in their teaching methods. For instance, the integration of digital tools, such as instructional videos, was found to be highly effective in capturing students’ attention and enhancing their engagement during lessons. Furthermore, parental support emerged as a significant factor, as parents act as the first educators at home by instilling fundamental religious values and attitudes that shape students’ motivation. The results also suggest that a positive classroom atmosphere, where students feel appreciated and supported by their teachers, contributes to higher levels of interest and participation in religious studies. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of differentiated instruction, where tasks are adjusted to match students’ abilities and learning needs. By connecting lesson materials with real-life experiences, teachers can further foster students’ intrinsic motivation, making learning more meaningful and relevant. Overall, the research demonstrates that cultivating interest in learning requires collaboration between teachers, parents, and supportive learning environments.

The sulang-sulang hariapan tradition is a significant cultural heritage of the Batak Toba community that embodies values of love, respect for elders, family reconciliation, equitable inheritance distribution, and leadership regeneration. The ritual is traditionally performed by offering food to parents who have reached the status of saur matua, symbolizing gratitude and respect. It is also accompanied by requests for blessings, advice, and public acknowledgment of mistakes, thus fostering peace, forgiveness, and social harmony within the community. However, in contemporary practice, the meaning of this tradition has gradually shifted toward a more formalized ceremony that emphasizes social status rather than its original spiritual and communal values. This study employs descriptive qualitative methods, combining field research with theological reflection, to examine how the values inherent in sulang-sulang hariapan can be understood in the light of the Gospel. The findings indicate that the tradition has profound potential to serve as a contextual medium for Christian faith expression. Therefore, it is crucial to revitalize its theological meaning so that the tradition remains relevant and transformative in strengthening family bonds and nurturing leadership in the modern era.

Financial and accounting governance practices are a regulatory framework that aims to control financial and accounting behavior within organizations by promoting the principles of transparency, disclosure, accountability, and internal control. The importance of these practices has become more important with the increase in financial crises and corruption scandals in the last two decades, highlighting the need for stricter governance systems to protect the interests of investors and stakeholders. In the context of entrepreneurial projects, which are characterized by high levels of risk and uncertainty, the quality of financial reporting is a key factor in building trust and attracting Financing and facilitating investment decisions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between financial and accounting governance practices and the quality of financial reporting, and to measure the impact of this relationship on the chances of success of entrepreneurial projects. The importance of the study stems from the fact that it seeks to bridge a knowledge gap represented by the lack of research that has linked these variables in the startup environment in developing economies. Based on a review of the literature, the study assumes that financial and accounting governance practices positively affect the quality of financial reporting, which in turn is reflected in enhancing the sustainability of entrepreneurial projects and raising their capacity competitiveness.
