Breast milk production during the postpartum period is a crucial factor in successful breastfeeding and achieving exclusive breastfeeding. However, during the early postpartum period, many postpartum mothers experience difficulties in breast milk production, influenced by physical and psychological conditions. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to help facilitate breast milk production is oxytocin massage, which aims to stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin and increase the let-down reflex. This study aims to analyze the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers at the Marisa Community Health Center. This study used a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 30 postpartum mothers selected using purposive sampling according to the inclusion criteria. Breast milk production was measured before and after the oxytocin massage intervention using a structured observation sheet with units of milliliters (ml). Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods. Normality was tested using the Shapiro–Wilk test, while differences were tested using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that the average milk output before oxytocin massage was 18.00 ± 5.95 ml, and increased to 51.83 ± 10.94 ml after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of oxytocin massage on increasing breast milk output. It was concluded that oxytocin massage is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention to increase breast milk production in postpartum mothers and can be integrated into postpartum care in primary health care services.

Labor pain is a significant challenge faced by in-partum mothers, with a prevalence of 70% in Indonesia, and 40% of women reporting severe pain (Central Statistics Agency, 2022). Conventional pharmacological methods often do not provide optimal results and can cause side effects. As a non-pharmacological alternative, oxytocin massage has shown promise in reducing labor pain intensity by stimulating the endogenous production of oxytocin, a natural analgesic hormone. This study aimed to assess the effect of oxytocin massage on labor pain intensity in in-partum mothers at Manado Medical Center Hospital. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach was used. The sample consisted of 30 in-partum mothers who met the inclusion criteria. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after a 30-minute oxytocin massage administered by trained health workers. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity from an average of 7.23 (SD=1.08) before the massage to 4.63 (SD=1.11) afterward, with a decrease of 2.6 points. The proportion of mothers experiencing severe pain decreased from 50% to 20%, while mild pain increased from 16.7% to 46.7%. The paired t-test revealed a highly significant difference with t=10.274 (df=29), p=0.000 (p<0.05). In conclusion, oxytocin massage is an effective non-pharmacological intervention that can significantly reduce labor pain and improve the birth experience. It can be incorporated into standard maternity nursing protocols to enhance maternal care.

The active phase of labor is a crucial stage that determines the progress and success of the delivery process. Prolonged labor during this phase can increase the risk of maternal complications and reduce the comfort of the laboring mother. Various non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to support the physiological progress of labor, including acupressure at the SP6 point and oxytocin massage. This study aims to analyze the differences in the effects of SP6 acupressure and oxytocin massage on the duration of the active phase of labor at the Galala Health Center in the Tidore Islands. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a comparative approach in two intervention groups. The sample consisted of 40 mothers in the first stage of active labor who met the inclusion criteria, with 20 respondents in the SP6 acupressure group and 20 respondents in the oxytocin massage group. The duration of the first stage of labor was calculated from 4 cm cervical dilation to complete 10 cm dilation and recorded using a partograph. Data were analyzed univariately to describe the distribution of labor duration and bivariately using the Mann–Whitney U test to assess the difference between the two groups. The results showed that the median duration of the first stage of labor in the SP6 acupressure group was shorter than in the oxytocin massage group. The Mann–Whitney test showed a statistically significant difference between the two intervention groups (p < 0.05). The conclusion of this study indicates that SP6 acupressure is more effective than oxytocin massage in shortening the duration of the first stage of active labor. These findings support the use of SP6 acupressure as a safe and effective nonpharmacological intervention in intrapartum midwifery care in primary health care facilities.

The journey and development of human life in the world today, consciously or unconsciously, have entered the period or era of Society 5.0. This Society 5.0 era is characterized by the massive integration of physical and digital spaces, which on one hand opens up unlimited innovation opportunities, but on the other hand presents complex challenges to national unity and identity. This Community Service (PkM) activity is based on the urgency to strengthen the foundational character of students in general, and students of Politeknik Bisnis Indonesia in particular, so that they are not merely spectators, but active players who have a positive impact amid the technological disruption era of Society 5.0. Therefore, this PkM activity is designed and implemented to address the need for strengthening digital literacy that is ethical and nationally minded for students. From the PkM activities that have been carried out at Politeknik Bisnis Indonesia under the title “Building National Insight for Students with Character and Impact in the Society 5.0 Era concludes that it is necessary to understand national insight from an early age so that the nation's next generation realizes early on that they are part of the nation and the state of Indonesia, and by understanding and being able to internalize the values or pillars of national insight, they can have a positive impact on community life, nationhood, and statehood in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

This study explores how the drafting process of the Bill (RUU) for the Revision of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), which was approved to become Law Number 3 of 2025, occurred amidst massive public protests, with an emphasis on violations of the principles of openness, participation, and accountability as regulated in the 1945 Constitution and Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Formation of Legislative Regulations. The public's rejection illustrates the potential for abusive law making, threats to civilian dominance, and the possibility of a return to the dual function of the military from the New Order period, supported by protests, petitions from civil society organizations such as NU, WALHI, and KONTRAS, as well as an application for constitutional review to the Constitutional Court. Adopting the perspective of Habermas’s theory of deliberative democracy and Weber’s concept of legitimacy, this research asserts that the argument for the annulment of this Bill is growing stronger, in order to uphold democratic law making and the protection of human rights.

This research is purposely conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness, efficiency, applicability  and appropriateness of modern firefighting systems installed on board ships. As a result, the review attempt to  ascertain the significance of firefighting systems on ships in terms of their safety, types, structure, principles as  well as installations. In this way, the review tries to justify the importance of these systems on board ships. The design of this survey revolves around three basic elements that incorporate the complete firefighting  procedure. These components include: modern technology of firefighting, different types of systems that are  used on board ships and people traits in terms of drilling, firefighting training to deal with any incident of fire.  In the previous decade, the globe has experienced massive destructions, harms and injuries resulting from fire incidents on ships. This has triggered and ignited enhanced fabrication and staging of new practices,  technologies and inventions aimed at efficiently deal with fire incidents so as to support the safekeeping and  reliability on these fire systems on board ships. Equally, through this technological enhancement, the  firefighting systems have been designed to facilitate rapid detection capable of differentiating between real  smokes or flames indicators in case of a fire event on board ship. In recent times, these technological  developments have been viewed as strategies that help ship owners to ensure better protection of the crew’s life,  ship’s inventories as well as minimising on the possible losses that occur as a result of fire events on board ship.  Therefore, with the review of the recent or latest methods and technologies for speedy fire detection on ships,  the review demonstrates enhancement attributes, features and qualities of these new systems. Additionally, the  paper critically evaluates the components of these firefighting systems, as well as looking at their competences,  capabilities, benefits and applicability on board ships.

Early childhood is a critical period for growth and development, characterized by rapid changes in neurological, motor, sensory, and emotional systems. Stimulation during this stage plays a vital role, and non-pharmacological interventions such as massage and aromatherapy may enhance developmental outcomes. This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest–posttest control group design to evaluate the effectiveness of infant massage combined with aromatherapy. Twenty infants aged 3–12 months who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited and assigned to either a control group (infant massage only) or an intervention group (infant massage with aromatherapy). Growth parameters (weight, length, head circumference) and developmental outcomes were measured using the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire, covering gross motor, fine motor, language, and personal-social domains. Infants in the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in body weight, body length, head circumference, and developmental scores compared to the control group. These findings indicate that the addition of aromatherapy to infant massage provides measurable benefits for both physical growth and developmental progress. Combined infant massage and aromatherapy represent effective non-pharmacological strategies for early stimulation, supporting optimal growth and developmental trajectories in infants.

The oil and gas industry plays a crucial role in meeting global energy needs, with crude oil from production wells being the primary product of upstream operations. Prior to further processing, crude oil requires pretreatment at the production site, one of the key stages being phase separation using a flash separator. This study examines the effect of variations in cooling temperature on the performance of liquid phase separation and energy requirements in the flash separation process of light hydrocarbons. The analysis was conducted through process simulation using Aspen HYSYS version 14.2 with the Peng Robinson property package. The feed stream had a mass rate of 10,000 kg per hour, a temperature of 50°F, and atmospheric pressure, with compositions of ethane, propane, isobutane, and normal butane. The process configuration included compression, cooling, and phase separation in a flash separator at a constant pressure of 50 psia. Variations in cooling temperature were applied at 20, 10, and 0°C. The simulation results indicated a thermodynamic critical point at 10°C. At 20°C, no liquid phase was formed, while at 10°C, significant liquid yield was obtained with moderate energy consumption. Lowering the temperature to 0°C dramatically increases liquid recovery, but the cooling energy requirement also increases sharply. Sensitivity analysis confirms a strong inverse relationship between temperature and condensation yield, as well as a surge in energy consumption at low temperatures. The optimal operating condition is set at 10°C, providing a balance between separation efficiency and energy efficiency in accordance with sustainable manufacturing principles.
