Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are a vital pillar of the Indonesian economy, contributing 61% to GDP and employing 97% of the workforce. Despite their importance, MSMEs face a high failure rate of 78–80%, with financial management problems accounting for 82% of failures. This study aims to analyze and prove the influence of risk management on the success of entrepreneurial efforts in MSMEs, while also measuring its contribution in explaining variations in business success. Using a quantitative approach with a survey method, the research involved 100 purposively selected respondents who met criteria of operating for at least two years and employing at least one worker. Data analysis included validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, simple linear regression, t-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). Results confirmed that all instruments were valid and reliable, with data meeting normality and heteroscedasticity assumptions. Regression analysis produced the equation Y = 5.428 + 0.724X, showing that risk management positively influences business success. The t-test confirmed significance, while R² = 0.403 indicated that risk management explains 40.3% of success variation. The findings conclude that effective risk management significantly enhances MSME sustainability and entrepreneurial success.

Hypertension is a highly prevalent non-communicable disease often referred to as "The Silent Killer" because it rarely shows symptoms until it causes serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. This community service activity aims to optimize the Mobile Blood Pressure Monitoring Program as a hypertension screening method in Sanahu Village. The methods used include participant data collection, blood pressure checks with a manual sphygmomanometer, and health education on hypertension prevention. A total of 96 participants participated in this activity, and the results showed that 58 participants (60.4%) were hypertensive. This program has proven effective in reaching communities with limited access to health services and raising public awareness about the importance of early detection of non-communicable diseases. In addition, this activity succeeded in providing knowledge to the community about how to prevent hypertension and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which is expected to reduce the incidence of hypertension in the future.

Pasien CHF sering mengalami intoleransi aktivitas akibat kelelahan dan sesak napas. Salah satu intervensi untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut adalah mobilisasi dini. Tujuan penerapan mobilisasi dini ini adalah untuk menganalisis efektifitas mobilisasi dini terhadap tekanan darah, denyut nadi dan saturasi oksigen. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan Studi Kasus. Jumlah responden penerapan ini berjumlah 2 pasien terbagi menjadi pasien intervensi dan pasien kontrol. Hasil penerapan menunjukkan setelah dilakukan mobilisasi dini kepada pasien intervensi didapatkan peningkatan tekanan sistolik sebesar 10 mmHg dan diastolik sebesar 10 mmHg. Sedangkan pasien kontrol terjadi peningkatan tekanan sistolik sebesar 10 mmHg, namun tekanan diastolik tetap. Denyut nadi pada pasien intervensi mengalami peningkatan 18x/menit. Sedangkan pasien kontrol terjadi peningkatan 23x/menit. Saturasi oksigen pada pasien intervensi mengalami kenaikan 5% dan pasien kontrol tidak mengalami kenaikan pada saturasi oksigen. Jadi dapat disimpulkan dari penerapan ini bahwa ada pengaruh mobilisasi dini terhadap tekanan darah, denyut nadi dan saturasi oksigen di ruangan krisan RSUD Arifin Achmad. Disarankan kepada perawat dan pihak rumah sakit agar tetap dapat mengembangkan penerapan mobilisasi dini menjadikan intervensi ini sebagai rujukan asuhan keperawatan dalam mengendalikan status hemodinamik.  

Distribution transformers play a critical role in delivering electrical energy from medium-voltage networks to low-voltage consumers. At ULP Medan Kota, several distribution transformers have been operating with loads exceeding 80% of their nominal capacity, posing risks of overloading, efficiency reduction, and equipment failure. This study aims to analyze the performance of distribution transformers based on actual load data and evaluate mitigation strategies through the implementation of additional parallel transformers (trafo sisip). The methodology includes data collection, load and current calculation, and simulation of load distribution after transformer insertion. The results show that the installation of trafo sisip reduces the load on the main transformer by approximately 50% and significantly lowers the current to safer levels. Moreover, placing the trafo sisip at an optimal position minimizes voltage drop to as low as 0.0745 Volts. Therefore, the addition of trafo sisip is proven to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and operational life of the power distribution system at ULP Medan Kota.

Guaranteeing the geotechnical stability of slopes is an absolute prerequisite for the sustainability of open pit mining operations, considering the potential for multidimensional losses due to slope failure. The specific geological conditions at PIT B1 PT. Pancaran Surya Abadi, which is composed of sedimentary rocks (coal, sandstone, and claystone), are susceptible to degradation and softening, especially due to high rainfall that causes an increase in pore water pressure and a decrease in rock shear strength. This study aims to analyze the stability of highwall slopes using the Morgenstern-Price Method to determine the Safety Factor (SFF) value according to Ministerial Decree number 1827 K/30/MEM/2018, and continued with a semi-quantitative risk analysis. The analysis results show that the initial slope has a static SFF of 0.77 (Not Safe). After redesign, the recommended optimal single slope geometry is: sandstone (Height 5 m, Angle 20°, Berm 5 m) and claystone (Height 10 m, Angle 60°, Berm 5 m). This redesign resulted in a FK of 1.34 (Safe). Sensitivity analysis to groundwater level rise (GTL) showed that the GTL value remained safe (GTL ≥1.30) up to a 30% increase in GTL. However, a 40% to 80% increase in GTL caused the GTL to decrease (1.28–1.21), classified as Medium Risk. A 100% increase in GTL drastically reduced the GTL to 1.05, classified as High Risk. This study emphasizes the need for close monitoring and additional drainage to maintain the long-term stability of slopes under the influence of rainfall.
