These findings indicate that recruiting SMK Mechanical Engineering graduates has a positive impact on the quality of AAL education, particularly in applied technical competencies and social adaptation abilities. Educational background diversity can become a strategic strength if managed through appropriate bridging programs and diversification of learning methods that accommodate the diversity of cadet learning styles.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common health problems among the elderly and can significantly reduce quality of life due to complications such as systemic infections, kidney disorders, and recurrent infections. Older adults often do not recognize early symptoms of UTIs, as the manifestations are atypical and frequently mistaken as part of the normal aging process. The Community Service Program (PKM) conducted at Panti Werdha Hana aimed to increase elderly awareness of the importance of early UTI detection through urinalysis as a screening method. This activity was carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, which included urine testing for leukocyte esterase, nitrites, and protein, as well as educational sessions on UTI risk factors and prevention strategies. Among the 76 participants examined, 2 individuals (3.08%) tested positive for leukocyte esterase and 1 individual (1.54%) tested positive for nitrites, indicating potential infection. These findings suggest that simple urin tests can serve as an effective initial step in detecting UTIs early and promoting timely interventions to maintain urinary tract health and improve the overall quality of life in the elderly.

Emesis gravidarum, characterized by nausea and vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy, affects up to 80% of pregnant women. Although typically considered a normal physiological condition, persistent symptoms can significantly impact daily activities, nutritional intake, and quality of life. Concerns over fetal safety with pharmacological treatments have led to the exploration of non-pharmacological interventions, such as aromatherapy. Lemon (Citrus limon) aromatherapy, which contains limonene, is believed to reduce nausea by stimulating the limbic system through olfactory pathways. This observational study, conducted at Manembo-nembo Hospital in Bitung City in 2025, involved 30 first-trimester pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. The severity of emesis gravidarum was assessed using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) questionnaire before and after lemon aromatherapy. Results showed that most participants were aged 20–35 years (73.33%) and in the early first trimester (≤10 weeks). After lemon aromatherapy, the severity of nausea and vomiting decreased, with most participants shifting from moderate or severe to mild symptoms. Statistical analysis revealed a moderate negative correlation between lemon aromatherapy and the severity of emesis gravidarum (r = −0.586; p = 0.001). In conclusion, lemon aromatherapy was significantly associated with a reduction in nausea and vomiting severity in early pregnancy. This intervention offers a safe, simple, and complementary option in antenatal care to enhance maternal comfort during the first trimester.

The implementation of ballast water management is a very important strategic step in preventing marine environmental pollution, because ship ballast water often becomes a route for the spread of invasive alien species that have the potential to disrupt the balance of the ecosistem, harm the maritime economic sector, and endanger human health. This study focuses on ballast water management practices on the MT Timur Laut Mas 2 ship, with the aim of assessing how the procedures are implemented in order to prevent the entry of alien species, reviewing the implementation of both international and national regulations, and evaluating the performance of the Ballast Water Management Sistem (BWMS) technology applied. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method based on a case study, with data collection through interviews with ship crews and company management, direct observation on board the ship, technical documentation, and a review of supporting literature. The results of the study show that the implementation of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention (BWMC) regulations on ships has been realized through the preparation of a Ballast Water Management Plan, detailed recording in the Ballast Water Record Book, and the use of a BWMS that relies on filtration technology and ultraviolet radiation. However, the implementation still encounters obstacles in the form of limited crew understanding of system operation, variations in water quality along the shipping route that affect filtration effectiveness, and technical obstacles in equipment maintenance. Therefore, a combination of compliance with international regulations, improving crew competency through continuous training, and optimizing sistem operations are key factors in strengthening the effectiveness of ballast water management.

In Indonesia, approximately 70 million people live in malaria-endemic areas, putting them at risk of transmitting the disease to others. Geographic information systems (GIS) are essential tools for mapping and visualizing spatial characteristics, as well as analyzing detailed information. GIS first developed in the late 1950s and has been used in various industries, such as oil and gas, telecommunications, as well as agriculture, forestry, and green open spaces (RTH). This study employed a narrative literature review method, synthesizing previously published information on GIS in green open spaces. The results showed that the classification of aerial imagery using GIS can be divided into two main classes: 'private green spaces' and 'others'. This study focused on finding a significant amount of urban green space in informal settlements, which cover more than 10% of the area. The increase in the number of informal settlements is directly proportional to the increase in private green space. The study also noted that poor communities have access to urban green spaces, which can improve their quality of life. Identification and management of green spaces in informal settlements can strengthen residents' self-confidence and reduce the gap between formal and informal areas in cities.

The Ripple Mill machine is one of the vital components in a Palm Oil Mill (PKS) that functions to separate the palm kernel from its shell. This process is very important because the quality and quantity of the palm kernel produced will directly affect the economic value and production efficiency in the palm oil industry. At PTPN IV Regional II Plantation Unit and Adolina PKS, various technical problems were found that caused a decrease in machine performance, including rotor bars and square bars that experienced wear due to age and improper machine settings. In addition, other damage that often occurs is a broken van belt due to age and excessive tension, feeder motor dysfunction caused by excessive load, and motor overheating that occurs due to age and high workload. To overcome these problems, this study uses the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. This method aims to identify various potential failures, assess the severity, frequency of occurrence, and detection capability, so that the Risk Priority Number (RPN) value can be calculated as a basis for repair priorities. The results showed that worn rotor bars and worn square bars had the highest RPN values, each at 280, equivalent to 40.23% of the total identified risks. This indicates that these two components are critical points requiring immediate repair and maintenance attention. Applying FMEA in this context provides tangible benefits, including helping the company formulate a more targeted maintenance strategy, reducing the risk of recurring damage, and minimizing downtime that impacts production. With more systematic maintenance, operational efficiency can be improved while extending the lifespan of the Ripple Mill machine.
