Pierhead casting is a critical activity in toll road infrastructure projects that requires continuous concrete supply to maintain quality and execution time. Factors influencing the smooth casting process include the regularity of truck mixer arrival intervals and the work cycle of the truck concrete pump. This study aims to analyze the effect of truck mixer intervals and truck concrete pump performance on the productivity of pierhead casting at Pierhead P37S on the Solo–Yogyakarta–NYIA Toll Road Project, Section 2 Package 2.1A. The analysis method used field observation through time study techniques to measure the cycle duration of truck mixers and the operating time of the truck concrete pump. The analysis stages included calculating cycle time, productivity, production capacity, and working duration of each equipment. The results show that the truck concrete pump achieved a productivity of 0.425 m³/minute, while the truck mixer reached 0.989 m³/minute. These values were influenced by cycle time, equipment condition, work area condition, execution method, and work volume. Based on duration analysis, the truck concrete pump required about 4.7 hours to complete the casting of 120 m³ of ready-mix concrete, while the truck mixer required 2.022 hours to support the concrete supply process.

Pelaksanaan pembangunan nasional tidak lepas dari kualitas sumber daya manusia. Salah satu faktor penentu kualitas sumber daya manusia adalah status gizi. Pemerintah meluncurkan program Pemberian Makanan Tambahan Anak Sekolah (PMT-AS) untuk memenuhi kebutuhan energi anak sekolah.

Pengambilan informan dilakukan dengan teknik purposive dimana orang yang memiliki peran yang cukup penting dalam pelaksanaan program PMT-AS. Penelitian dilakukan dengan Focus Group Discussion dan In-depth interview.. Hasil penelitian ini ditemukan Aspek fidelity terhambat oleh tidak adanya penyediaan Standar Operasional Prosedur (SOP) fisik dari Dinas Sosial sehingga kepatuhan terhadap prosedur sulit dinilai. Meskipun demikian, sekolah telah menunjukkan perbaikan prosedural (perbaikan menu setelah evaluasi) dan kepatuhan tinggi terhadap durasi (90 hari), frekuensi (1 kali/hari), cakupan (seluruh siswa), serta pelaporan rutin bulanan setelah awalnya mengalami keterlambatan. Saran agar Dinas Sosial menyediakan SOP tertulis kepada pemasak dan tenaga administrasi sekolah sebagai acuan objektif menilai kepatuhan prosedur. Sekolah disarankan mempertahankan perbaikan yang telah dilakukan serta menjadikan rapat evaluasi sebagai mekanisme standar untuk mencegah terulangnya kesalahan prosedural di masa mendatang.

Infant mortality rates (IMR) at the global and national levels occur mostly during the neonatal period. One way to reduce infant mortality is to provide the best food, namely breast milk. The breastfeeding process can be hampered due to several problems, one of which is the occurrence of breast milk dams. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between mothers' knowledge about breastfeeding techniques and breast milk dams at PMB Pratiwi Agustian. The research method used was a quantitative analytic study with a cross sectional design. The research sample was 28 respondents using total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of breastfeeding mothers with good knowledge of breastfeeding techniques did not experience breast milk dams as many as 5 people (71.4%), 13 people (76.5%) did not experience breast milk dams in the moderate category, and 4 people (100.0%) experienced breast milk dams in the poor category. Correlation analysis showed that there was a relationship between knowledge of breastfeeding techniques and breast milk dams in nursing mothers at PMB Pratiwi Agustian with a significant value of p = 0.015.

Ready-to-drink (RTD) chocolate beverages are increasingly popular, yet traditional formulations often contain dairy components while some consumers are lactose intolerance. The primary challenges in RTD chocolate beverages include achieving acceptable flavor profiles and managing cocoa powder precipitation. This study aimed to formulate a non-dairy ready-to-drink chocolate beverage using a hedonic test and  enhance its physical stability through varied xanthan gum concentrations applying Completely Randomized Design (CRD).A hedonic test involving 30 untrained respondents determined the most preferred formula with the highest preference level (3.7), which consisted of 40% local cocoa powder from Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, 15% commercial cocoa powder, and 45% castor sugar. Stability analysis involved incorporating xanthan gum at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.15%, and 0.2% (w/v). Results demonstrated that 0.2% xanthan gum concentration yielded the highest viscosity (98 N.s/m²), significantly differing from the control. The lowest precipitation was observed at 0.2% concentration (p-value 0.048). Particle size analysis revealed progressive reduction from 21 μm to 5 μm with increasing xanthan gum concentration. The study conclusively identified 0.2% (w/v) xanthan gum as the most effective concentration for improving chocolate beverage stability, offering a promising approach for developing innovative, dairy-free RTD products.
