Background: Hypertension remains a major public health problem, particularly in primary health care settings. The coexistence of diabetes mellitus may contribute to increased hypertension severity; however, evidence from primary care data in Indonesia remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between diabetes mellitus and hypertension severity among patients attending a primary health care center in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data obtained from medical records at a primary health care center in 2025. A total of 84 patients with hypertension were included using total sampling. Hypertension severity was classified into stage 1 and stage 2. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test as appropriate, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Results: Of the 84 participants, 33.3% had diabetes mellitus. Stage 2 hypertension was more prevalent than stage 1 hypertension. Diabetes mellitus was significantly associated with hypertension severity (p = 0.029), with a higher proportion of patients with diabetes mellitus presenting with stage 2 hypertension. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus was significantly associated with greater hypertension severity in a primary health care setting. These findings highlight the importance of integrated management of diabetes mellitus in patients with hypertension at the prizary care level.

This study aims to determine the effect of service quality and promotion on members' saving decisions at BMT Fajar Bina Sejahtera Metro Branch. This research uses a quantitative approach with data collection through questionnaires given to 98 respondents, selected using purposive sampling technique.

This research provides important insights for BMT management in formulating more precise policies to enhance members' saving decisions.

One of the key instruments for advertising travel destinations is the growth of social media, particularly Instagram. Nevertheless, a large number of Instagram followers does not automatically translate into a large number of visitor visits. Rio By The Beach Beach in Kalianda, South Lampung had the most visitors during the 2025 holiday season, despite having fewer Instagram followers than other beach attractions. This condition suggests that the effectiveness of electronic word-of-mouth (E-WOM) and social media marketing may have a significant impact on travelers' decisions to visit. Thus, the purpose of this study is to ascertain how tourists' decisions to visit Rio By The Beach in Kalianda, South Lampung, are influenced by Instagram social media marketing and electronic word-of-mouth. This study examines 170 visitors to Rio By The Beach using a quantitative methodology and selective sampling strategies. Questionnaires were sent as part of the data collection process, and SPSS software was utilized for multiple linear regression data analysis. The study's findings show that electronic word-of-mouth and Instagram social media marketing significantly and favorably influence travelers' decisions to visit. Electronic word-of-mouth has a greater impact than the other one. The study's conclusions suggest that tourism destination managers should concentrate their marketing efforts more on user interaction, high-quality information, and developing travel experiences that can promote the creation of positive electronic word-of-mouth (E-WOM) in order to boost travelers' decisions to come.

This study aims to analyze the influence of motivation, organizational commitment, and pedagogical competence on the performance of elementary school teachers who are members of the Teacher Working Group (KKG) in Teluk Sebong District. The research employed a quantitative approach with a saturated sampling technique, involving all 112 teachers as respondents.

Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect teachers' performance (F = 9.153; sig = 0.000). The determination coefficient indicates an R Square value of 0.203, meaning that 20.3% of the variation in teachers' performance can be explained by motivation, organizational commitment, and pedagogical competence, while the remaining 79.7% is influenced by other factors outside this model.

This study investigated how employee engagement and work–life balance influenced turnover intention, with rewards examined as an intervening mechanism, among Generation Z employees in a state-owned enterprise context. A quantitative explanatory design was applied using a census approach involving all 36 Generation Z employees at PT PLN (Persero) Pematangsiantar. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measured on a five-point Likert scale and were analyzed using multiple regression and mediation-based path analysis in SPSS. The findings showed that employee engagement and work–life balance significantly predicted perceived rewards, and all three variables exerted significant effects on turnover intention. Moreover, rewards partially mediated the effects of employee engagement and work–life balance on turnover intention, indicating that positive work experiences reduced employees’ intention to leave when they were reinforced by fair and meaningful reward practices. However, the small sample size limited the generalizability of the findings beyond the organizational setting studied. This study contributes by demonstrating that retention of Generation Z employees is shaped not only by psychological attachment and work–life balance, but also by how organizations institutionalize recognition and value exchange through reward systems, particularly in public service and state-owned enterprises.

Beef demand in Indonesia continues to increase, particularly during religious holidays. Bali cattle, one of the main sources of beef, face a serious threat from Jembrana disease, a viral infection that compromises the immune system and causes significant economic losses. This study aimed to determine the correlation between spleen weight, body temperature, and cycle threshold (Ct) values in Bali cattle following Jembrana virus inoculation. A correlational method was applied to eight female Bali cattle injected with Jembrana virus inoculum. Physiological changes in body temperature were monitored, followed by necropsy to assess spleen weight. In addition, Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was performed before and after inoculation to detect viral presence and determine Ct values. Data were analyzed using SPSS with Pearson correlation tests. The results revealed a very strong positive correlation between spleen weight and body temperature, while a very strong negative correlation was observed between spleen weight and Ct values. These findings indicate that Jembrana virus inoculation leads to increased body temperature and splenic enlargement in Bali cattle, accompanied by a decrease in Ct values, reflecting higher viral loads. Therefore, the administration of antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, vitamins, and antibiotics prior to vaccination is recommended to reduce the risk of hyperthermia, splenic swelling, decreased Ct values, and secondary infections.

The majority of Kebomas District's residents are connected to working hours during government office hours (Monday through Friday), which creates access obstacles in administering public services due to the high population density and busy community life. In response to these time constraints, the SOS MAS (Service On Saturday in Kebomas District) invention was introduced, which offers services on Saturdays. However, the implementation of this innovation still faces challenges in the form of a low social integration rate and a restricted range of public services that have the potential to sway public opinion. The goal of this research is to assess how the SOS MAS innovation affects community happiness in Kebomas District. A quantitative technique with an associative approach is used in this research. Through an unintentional sampling method, questionnaires were given to 86 individuals in order to gather primary data. With the aid of SPSS, the determinant coefficient and a simple linear regression test were used to analyze the data. The study's findings reveal that the SOS MAS invention has a favorable and substantial influence on community happiness. The regression coefficient of 0.969 and a significance level of 0.000 <0.05 support this. The innovation variable accounted for 59.7% of public happiness, while the remaining 40.3% was impacted by variables not included in the study model, according to the coefficient of determination (R2) test. This result supports the notion that the efficacy of service innovation outside of working hours is a major element in boosting happiness for individuals with limited time. The SOS MAS innovation has been shown to greatly improve public satisfaction. Agencies are encouraged to improve their communication and outreach efforts as well as create SOS MAS innovations that maximize the advantages of innovations that meet community needs.

Corporate financial performance is an important factor in maintaining business sustainability amid increasingly intense competition.
