Herbaceous plants play an important role in reducing the negative impact of erosion on the surrounding environment. Their high adaptability and solitary distribution patterns allow herbs to grow in various habitat conditions. One location that shows a fairly high diversity of herbs is in the Jaboi Hot Spring Area, Sukajaya District, Sabang City. This study focused on grouping the types of herbaceous plants in the area and assessing their diversity. Data collection was carried out using a 100-meter line transect method, which was divided into four observation stations. Each station consisted of six 2 x 2-meter square plots used for species inventory. The observation resulted in data on 22 identified herbaceous species, representing 13 families, with a total of 385 individuals. The Convolvulaceae and Fabaceae families were the most dominant groups with four species from each family. The level of species diversity was analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener index, resulting in a score of 2.82, which is classified as moderate. The findings of this study provide preliminary information on the diversity of herbaceous plants in the area, which can be used as a reference for further research and environmental management in the Jaboi Hot Spring Area, Sukajaya District, Sabang City.

Inventory management is a crucial aspect in improving operational efficiency, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) such as grocery stores. This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the First In First Out (FIFO) method on operational efficiency at Reni Grocery Store. Prior to applying FIFO, the inventory system in the store was poorly organized, often resulting in losses due to expired or damaged goods. Since March 2025, FIFO has been implemented by placing older items at the front of the shelves, while new items are consistently placed at the back, accompanied by routine checks of expiration dates. This research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with the store owner as the main subject. The findings indicate that FIFO positively influences operational efficiency, as reflected by reduced expired goods, improved stock recording, and more organized product flow. These results are consistent with previous studies, such as Pratama & Sari (2020), which showed FIFO reduced losses by up to 25%, as well as Suharto et al. (2021) and Rahman (2022), who emphasized that FIFO enhances stock accuracy and distribution efficiency. Nevertheless, this study also reveals limitations, including limited storage space and a lack of manpower for routine checks, which prevent FIFO implementation from being fully optimal.

Identifying fish species found in the Sendang Seruni stream, Tamansari Village, Licin District, Banyuwangi Regency, and analyzing the diversity and quality of its waters. Sampling was conducted over 14 days in July 2025 using umbrella traps, fishing rods, and underwater camera observations at three observation stations. The results of the study showed that there were six fish species, namely Rasbora lateristriata (Wader Pari), Barbodes binotatus (Wader Cakul), Oreochromis niloticus (Nila), Gambusia affinis (Cere), Nemacheilus fasciatus (Uceng), and Channa striata (Channa). The most abundant species was Wader Pari (25 individuals), while Channa was only one individual. Fish diversity in Sendang Seruni was classified as low with an H' value of 1. Clean, stable, and oxygen-rich water quality supports the existence of sensitive species such as B. binotatus, while polluted waters tend to be dominated by tolerant species. These results indicate the need for habitat management and conservation efforts to maintain the balance of the Sendang Seruni aquatic ecosystem. 

Profitability is one of the most important indicators for assessing a company's financial performance, as reflects the extent to which management efficiently manages resources to generate profits for the company. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of working capital turnover, cash turnover, accounts receivable turnover, and inventory turnover on the profitability of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique with a non-probabilistic sampling approach based on specific criteria. As a result, 36 companies qualified for this study. Data were processed using multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS version 25. The results of this study indicate that working capital turnover has a positive effect on profitability, while cash turnover has no significant effect. Meanwhile, receivable turnover has a positive effect on profitability, and inventory turnover has a negative effect on profitability. These results indicate that effective current asset management in company can increase profits, while the low contribution of cash turnover indicates that liquidity don”t always correlate with profitability, the negative impact of inventory turnover indicates the potential for decreased profits if inventory management is suboptimal.. This study confirms that working capital management has diverse impact on profitability. Working capital and accounts receivable turnover are driving factors for improved financial performance, while cash turnover does not directly impact profits, inventory turnover can negatively impact profitability if not managed effectively.

Nurses' caring behavior is a fundamental element in quality healthcare services. However, pressures such as high workload and burnout can hinder its implementation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload and burnout on the caring behavior of nurses in the Inpatient Ward of “X” Hospital. The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional design, involving 96 practicing nurses through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT) questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and a caring behavior questionnaire based on Jean Watson's theory. The results showed that the workload (p<0.001) and burnout (p<0.001) variables have a significant negative relationship with caring behavior. Logistic regression analysis identified workload as the more dominant factor influencing caring behavior. Simultaneously, these two independent variables could explain 57.9% of the variance in nurses' caring behavior. This study concludes that an increase in workload and burnout levels significantly decreases nurses' caring behavior, making workload management a priority intervention to improve the quality of nursing care.

In the final phase of their studies, students often experience intense psychological pressure, especially when writing their final thesis. If this academic stress is not managed optimally, it can cause mental health problems, reduce internal motivation, and lead to despair in the context of education. Hardiness personality is one of the psychological characteristics that is believed to play a crucial role in dealing with such situations. Hardiness encompasses the dimensions of control, commitment, and the ability to see challenges as opportunities, thereby encouraging individuals to persevere in the face of external pressures. This study focuses on the relationship between hardiness personality and the level of stress experienced by final-year students of the Diploma Three Nursing Study Program at Abulyatama University while writing scientific papers. This study used a correlational quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 63 students selected through proportional random sampling. The Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS) was used to measure hardiness, while the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) was used to assess stress levels. Data collection took place from April 26 to May 8, 2025. To obtain valid results, data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The research findings show a significant negative correlation between hardiness personality and stress levels in the process of writing scientific papers (p=0.004; p<0.05). Students who show high levels of hardiness tend to experience lower stress during the preparation of scientific papers, while those with low hardiness are more vulnerable to high academic pressure. Based on these results, it can be concluded that increasing hardiness in students is very important as a strategy for dealing with academic demands, especially in writing scientific papers. Thus, students are expected to be able to strengthen their self-control, commitment to the learning process, and positive perspective towards various challenges.

This study aims to analyze the utilization and management of fixed assets in the form of land at the Regional Finance and Asset Agency (BKAD) of West Manggarai Regency in accordance with the regulations stipulated in Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 19 of 2016 and Regulation No. 47 of 2021. The study employs a qualitative approach using primary data obtained through direct interviews and secondary data obtained from documentation related to fixed assets. Data analysis is conducted descriptively to depict the actual conditions of land utilization and asset management in West Manggarai Regency. The results indicate that the utilization of fixed land assets has not been fully compliant with Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 19 of 2016, as there are still some vacant lands that have not been utilized. The management of fixed land assets is carried out through three main stages. First, the recording stage has been largely compliant with Regulation No. 47 of 2021, supported by the use of the Regional Government Management Information System (SIMDA) for Regional Property, which facilitates the recording process. Second, the inventory stage is not yet fully compliant because some lands lack ownership documents, such as land certificates, leaving the date and certificate number fields blank. Third, the reporting stage has been conducted in accordance with the regulations, where the Regional Property Reports are compiled hierarchically and submitted both semi-annually and annually. Based on these findings, it is recommended that BKAD West Manggarai Regency improve the utilization of vacant lands and immediately carry out registration and certification processes to ensure the legal status of the land. Further research is expected to explore the management of fixed land assets more comprehensively, including maintenance, supervision, and long-term usage planning to support optimal regional financial management.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Gross Profit Margin (GPM) and Inventory Turnover Ratio (ITR) on profit growth at PT Gudang Garam Tbk during the period 2014–2024. The research employs a quantitative method with a descriptive approach and utilizes multiple linear regression analysis. Data were gathered from financial report documentation and a literature study.

UD. Indokarya Brass is a company engaged in the brass handicraft industry with its main products being door handles and bells. The main raw materials used in the production process include brass, copper, tin, and aluminum, which are obtained from suppliers both within and outside the city. On average, raw materials are received weekly with quantities of 50–100 kg of brass, 7–10 kg of copper, 10–15 kg of tin, and 3–5 kg of aluminum. In addition, the company also uses additional materials in the form of thinner and epoxy purchased from nearby hardware stores with less frequent purchases, namely 5–10 liters of thinner every month and around 5 kg of epoxy every two months. To date, the company has not had a structured policy for procurement and control of raw material inventory. This condition results in excess inventory of several types of raw materials which actually incurs high costs, both in terms of storage costs and warehouse maintenance costs. This excess inventory ultimately has an impact on reduced efficiency and decreased company profits. This study was conducted to analyze the existing inventory system and compare the company's current policy with a proposed method for more optimal inventory control. The calculation results show that the proposed method is able to provide significant inventory cost savings, namely 83.25% in brass raw materials, 15.28% in copper, 14.6% in tin, 43.37% in aluminum, 4.66% in epoxy, 4.2% in thinner, and 40.7% in other raw materials. Thus, the implementation of the right inventory control method can improve operational efficiency and help companies reduce cost burdens, so that profits can be more optimal.
