Low courage in arguing and high communication apprehension often become major obstacles for high school students when facing academic presentations. This Community Service (PkM) program aims to strengthen students' communicative rhetoric skills and public speaking abilities at SMA Negeri 11 Makassar. Based on a needs assessment, partner students need techniques for persuasive public speaking, self-evaluation tools for their communication performance, and strategies for managing mental anxiety. The program was carried out through a practice-based reflective workshop involving 25 students from the school's intra-organizational board. Quantitative evaluation results showed a significant improvement in students' speaking competence, with the average score increasing from 58.4 (pre-test) to 86.2 (post-test). This result recorded an increase in the score difference by 27.8 points, which is equivalent to a competence growth of 47.6%, with the students' classical completeness rate reaching 92%. Qualitatively, observations and interviews confirmed changes in students' speaking behavior, which became more organized, expressive, and varied, and they were able to reduce anxiety independently. A tangible output of this activity is the Pocket Guide for Practical Public Speaking Based on Reflective Practice for partner students.

Sosis merupakan produk olahan populer di berbagai kalangan masyarakat yang sebagian besar menggunakan bahan baku daging sapi dan ayam yang harganya relatif mahal, hal tersebut  mendorong perlunya diversifikasi menggunakan sumber protein lain, seperti ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penambahan pure kedelai terhadap karakteristik fisikokimia dan sensori sosis ikan lumi-lumi (Harpodon nehereus). Metode penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) faktor tunggal dengan enam taraf perlakuan perbandingan ikan lumi-lumi dan pure kedelai, yaitu K0 (300g:0g), K1 (250g:50g), K2 (200g:100g), K3 (150g:150g), K4 (100g:200g), dan K5 (50g:250g). Parameter yang diuji meliputi kadar air, abu, lemak, protein, karbohidrat, tekstur (penetrometer), dan uji organoleptik (hedonik). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan pure kedelai berpengaruh nyata terhadap seluruh parameter. Seiring meningkatnya proporsi pure kedelai, kadar air menurun (72,60% hingga 66,66%), kadar lemak menurun (5,14% hingga 0,37%), dan kadar protein menurun (7,17% hingga 4,37%). Sebaliknya, kadar abu meningkat (1,27% hingga 1,86%), kadar karbohidrat meningkat (13,80% hingga 26,72%), dan nilai tekstur meningkat (17,39 N/s hingga 18,48 N/s) yang mengindikasikan sosis semakin kenyal. Berdasarkan uji sensori, perlakuan K3 (150g ikan : 150g kedelai) merupakan formulasi terbaik yang paling disukai panelis dengan skor tertinggi pada atribut warna (3,60), aroma (3,48), tekstur (3,44), rasa (3,28), dan penerimaan keseluruhan (3,62). Secara umum penambahan pure kedelai efektif meningkatkan karakteristik fisikokimia dan penerimaan sensori sosis ikan lumi-lumi.  

This community-based project aimed to analyze the cash management system of the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) Bakpia Juwara Satoe and develop recommendations to improve the company's financial performance. Cash management is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of MSME financial management, which can lead to cash flow problems, inaccurate record keeping, and poor management decisions. The methodology used included qualitative data collection through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and financial statement analysis. The project findings revealed that Bakpia Juwara Satoe lacked a functioning cash management system. There was no separation between cash receipts and disbursements, no standardized system for handling cash, and transaction recording remained manual and inconsistent. As part of the project, standard operating procedures (SOP) for cash management were developed, financial accounting training was conducted, and support was provided in creating simple cash flow statements. Following the implementation of these measures, record accuracy increased by 78%, and cash losses were reduced. It was determined that the implementation of efficient cash management contributed significantly to the improvement of Bakpia Juwara Satoe's financial performance.

Mangrove forests are high-value coastal ecosystems that have the potential to be developed as sustainable ecotourism destinations. This study aims to analyze the development of Mangrove Forest Tourism in Kampung Kayu Ara Permai, Sungai Apit District, Siak Regency based on the three pillars of sustainable tourism of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), namely environmental, economic, and socio-cultural sustainability. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature studies and semi-structured interviews with regional managers. The results of the study show that this area has a good mangrove ecosystem with nine species and an average Tourism Suitability Index (IKW) of 76.89% (Suitable/S2 category). From an economic perspective, eight non-timber forest products (NTFPs) downstream products and community-based homestay models have created an equitable distribution of benefits for residents. The socio-cultural dimension is supported by the authenticity of the coastal Malay tradition that is still preserved. However, the three dimensions face challenges in the form of the absence of protection regulations, the absence of a government fixed budget, and low public participation in management evaluation. This study recommends the issuance of regional regulations, the establishment of tourism BUMDes, and the strengthening of community participation as the foundation for sustainable ecotourism development.  

Irrational drug use remains a common health problem in the community, including the use of medications without following dosage instructions, discontinuation of treatment before completion, the use of antibiotics without prescriptions, and improper drug storage. These problems were also identified among residents of Candirejo Village, West Ungaran District, who still have limited knowledge regarding the safe use of daily medications. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness regarding rational and safe medication use. The implementation methods included program socialization, health education sessions, distribution of educational media in the form of leaflets and posters, and evaluation through question-and-answer sessions and simple quizzes. Educational materials covered how to read medication labels, proper dosage and duration of use, differences between over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs, risks of antibiotic misuse, and proper medication storage methods. The results of the activity showed an increase in community understanding regarding medication use instructions, the importance of reading labels, the dangers of using antibiotics without prescriptions, and correct drug storage practices. Participants also demonstrated high enthusiasm and active participation during the activities. This program is expected to improve community health literacy and encourage more appropriate, safe, and responsible medication use behavior in daily life.

Pressure sensitive labels (PSLs) made of polyethylene (PE) white are widely used in the packaging industry due to their flexibility, moisture resistance, and ease of application on various substrates. This study aimed to examine the effect of glossy and matte lamination on the tensile strength and color difference (ΔE) of PE white PSLs. An experimental method was employed, with tensile testing conducted using a universal testing machine (UTM) in accordance with ASTM standards and color measurement performed using a spectrodensitometer based on the CIE Lab system. The samples were divided into three treatment groups, namely no lamination, glossy lamination, and matte lamination, with ink coverage controlled at two design conditions, full ink and minim ink. The results indicated that lamination type significantly affected both the mechanical and visual characteristics of the labels. In the tensile strength test, the highest mean value was obtained by one treatment group, indicating superior resistance to tensile loading. In terms of color stability, higher ΔE values indicated greater color change and lower lightfastness, whereas lower ΔE values reflected better color retention. Overall, the findings show that the combination of lamination type and ink coverage influences the performance of PE white PSLs in both mechanical strength and color stability.

Nilai kejujuran berkorelasi dengan karakteristik keandalan dan relevansi LKPD, sementara nilai tanggung jawab berkorelasi dengan keterbandingan dan kemudahan dipahami. Penguatan kapasitas SDM, SPIP, dan internalisasi nilai etika di tingkat SKPD/OPD tetap menjadi kebutuhan mendesak.

Prasman (Peperomia pellucida) merupakan tanaman obat yang diketahui mengandung berbagai senyawa metabolit sekunder seperti alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, tanin, dan terpenoid yang berpotensi memiliki aktivitas biologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat toksisitas ekstrak metanol batang prasman terhadap mortalitas larva udang (Artemia salina L.) menggunakan metode Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental dengan memberikan ekstrak metanol batang prasman pada berbagai konsentrasi, yaitu 10, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, dan 10000 ppm serta kontrol. Parameter yang diamati adalah persentase mortalitas larva setelah 24 jam perlakuan. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode interpolasi dan analisis probit untuk menentukan nilai LC₅₀. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan konsentrasi ekstrak menyebabkan peningkatan mortalitas larva secara bertahap hingga mencapai 100% pada konsentrasi 10.000 ppm. Perhitungan LC₅₀ dengan metode interpolasi menghasilkan nilai 680,2 ppm pada pengujian pertama dan 529,66 ppm pada pengujian duplo. Analisis probit pada pengujian duplo menghasilkan nilai LC₅₀ sebesar 198,97 ppm. Nilai LC₅₀ yang berada di bawah 1000 ppm menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak metanol batang prasman bersifat toksik terhadap larva Artemia salina dengan kategori moderat atau racun sedang. Aktivitas toksik tersebut diduga berasal dari kandungan metabolit sekunder yang terdapat dalam batang prasman seperti Flavonoid, saponin, tanin dan minyak atsirinya. Dengan demikian, ekstrak metanol batang prasman berpotensi sebagai sumber senyawa bioaktif yang dapat dikembangkan lebih lanjut dalam bidang farmasi, khususnya sebagai kandidat antikanker, antimikroba, dan bioinsektisida alami.

Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula is a congenital anomaly requiring early diagnosis and prompt surgical correction. Gross type D esophageal atresia, characterized by both proximal and distal tracheoesophageal fistulas, is an exceedingly rare variant that poses significant diagnostic and operative challenges. We report a case of a full-term female neonate with a birth weight of 3,200 grams who presented with hypersalivation since the first day of life, accompanied by coughing and choking during feeding. Orogastric tube insertion failed, with the tube arrested at approximately 15 cm. The patient was referred with a diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia and suspected esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. Physical examination revealed tachypnea, chest wall retraction, and respiratory distress requiring ventilatory support. Babygram demonstrated the orogastric tube tip arrested at the proximal esophageal pouch with distal gastrointestinal air. Contrast esophagography confirmed proximal esophageal atresia at the upper thoracic level with suspected proximal fistula. Associated findings included bilateral pneumonia, right upper lobe atelectasis, and vertebral anomalies suggestive of VACTERL association. Intraoperative findings confirmed Gross type D esophageal atresia with proximal and distal tracheoesophageal fistulas. Both fistulas were excised, followed by primary esophageal anastomosis and transanastomotic nasogastric tube placement. Gross type D esophageal atresia is a rare congenital anomaly that should be considered in neonates presenting with hypersalivation, failed orogastric tube insertion, and respiratory distress. Anatomical subtype confirmation relies on intraoperative findings. Early surgical repair can be performed successfully; however, associated anomalies necessitate careful long-term follow-up.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkarakterisasi tingkat toksisitas ekstrak etanol 90% daun trembesi (Samanea saman) terhadap larva udang (Artemia salina) menggunakan metode Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) dengan pendekatan Reed-Muench dan analisis probit. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan rancangan post-test only control group design. Larva Artemia salina digunakan sebagai organisme uji karena memiliki sensitivitas tinggi terhadap senyawa toksik dan sering digunakan sebagai indikator awal aktivitas bioaktif. Ekstrak diuji pada berbagai konsentrasi bertingkat untuk mengamati persentase mortalitas larva setelah 24 jam perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan konsentrasi ekstrak berbanding lurus dengan peningkatan jumlah kematian larva, yang mengindikasikan adanya hubungan dosis-respons yang jelas. Nilai LC₅₀ yang diperoleh dengan metode Reed-Muench adalah sebesar 567,02 ppm, sedangkan dengan analisis probit diperoleh nilai LC₅₀ sebesar 581,0319 ppm. Perbedaan nilai ini disebabkan oleh perbedaan pendekatan analisis, di mana metode probit dinilai lebih akurat karena melibatkan transformasi statistik yang lebih kompleks. Berdasarkan klasifikasi toksisitas BSLT, nilai LC₅₀ sebesar 581,0319 ppm termasuk dalam kategori sangat toksik (LC₅₀ < 30 ppm). Tingginya tingkat toksisitas ekstrak diduga berkaitan dengan kandungan metabolit sekunder seperti flavonoid, saponin, dan tanin yang memiliki aktivitas sitotoksik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol 90% daun trembesi memiliki potensi bioaktivitas yang tinggi dan berpeluang untuk dikembangkan lebih lanjut sebagai sumber senyawa bioaktif dalam bidang farmasi maupun bioteknologi.

Aerobic capacity, commonly measured by maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max), is a key indicator of physical fitness and athletic performance, particularly in endurance sports. Recent attention has focused on the role of respiratory muscle function in supporting exercise performance, as respiratory muscle fatigue during high-intensity or prolonged activity may reduce ventilatory efficiency and exercise tolerance. This literature review aims to examine current evidence regarding the effects of Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT), including Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT), on aerobic capacity in athletes. Relevant studies were identified through electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using keywords related to respiratory muscle training, VO₂max, and athletes. The reviewed studies generally reported improvements in inspiratory muscle strength, reduced respiratory muscle fatigue, and enhanced ventilatory efficiency following RMT interventions. These physiological adaptations may contribute to better exercise tolerance and overall athletic performance. However, evidence regarding direct improvements in VO₂max remains inconsistent across studies. The findings suggest that RMT can be used as a complementary strategy alongside conventional training programs to support aerobic performance. In addition, improved respiratory muscle function may provide benefits in health promotion and rehabilitation by reducing dyspnea and increasing exercise tolerance. Further well-designed studies are needed to clarify the extent of RMT’s contribution to improving VO₂max in athletic populations.

Background: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively due to structural or functional disorders, commonly manifesting as dyspnea, fluid retention, and peripheral edema. Globally, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, with CHF affecting more than 55-65 million people worldwide. Objective: To perform comprehensive nursing care on patient Ny. A with cardiovascular system disorder: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in the Mawar I Ward of RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency. Methods: This study used a descriptive method through a case study approach. Data were collected via interview, observation, and physical examination. Results: Four nursing diagnoses were identified: ineffective breathing pattern, hypervolemia, activity intolerance, and knowledge deficit. Interventions included respiratory monitoring, hypervolemia management, energy management, and health education on disease process. After two days of nursing implementation, three diagnoses were resolved and one (hypervolemia) was partially resolved. Conclusion: Nursing care for Ny. A with CHF was carried out through assessment, nursing diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. Continued interventions are recommended, including fluid balance monitoring, diuretic collaboration, and edema and ascites monitoring.

Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and may result in various complications during pregnancy and childbirth. In Tegal Regency, preeclampsia contributed to 27% of maternal deaths in 2024; therefore, studies on childbirth characteristics among mothers with this condition are needed. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of childbirth events in mothers with preeclampsia at Dr. Soeselo Slawi Regional Hospital, Tegal Regency. A descriptive design with a retrospective approach was used by reviewing the medical records of 202 mothers who delivered with preeclampsia during 2025. Data were analyzed univariately and presented as frequency distributions and percentages. The results showed that most mothers underwent operative delivery (62.38%), while spontaneous and induced labor accounted for 37.13% and 0.50%, respectively. Most deliveries occurred at preterm gestational age (62.38%), followed by term (36.14%) and postterm (1.49%) deliveries. Maternal and obstetric complications included bleeding (6.93%), fetal distress (4.95%), eclampsia (1.49%), and HELLP syndrome (0.99%). Most neonates had normal birth weight (82.18%) and did not require NICU care (95.05%), although low birth weight (17.82%) and NICU admission (4.95%) were still identified. The maternal clinical condition was dominated by blood pressure of 140–159/90–109 mmHg (75.74%). Proteinuria was found in 46.53% of respondents, with moderate proteinuria (+2) as the predominant category (38.30%). In conclusion, childbirth among mothers with preeclampsia was dominated by operative and preterm deliveries. These findings emphasize the importance of early detection and optimal management of preeclampsia to reduce maternal and neonatal complications and improve the quality of maternal-infant health services overall.

The government policy known as the Free Nutritional Meal Program (MBG) aims to improve public nutrition and reduce stunting rates in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to examine the MBG Program from a political perspective, particularly considering political dynamics, legal risks, and fiscal issues. This research was conducted through literature review, reviewing various journals and academic sources. The results indicate that the MBG not only has social impacts but also influences political interests, poses risks to legal enforcement, and disrupts the sustainability of the state budget. Therefore, for the program to be successful and sustainable, strong regulations and oversight are required. Furthermore, this populist program is often utilized as an instrument for power legitimacy, demanding compromises between the executive and legislative branches during its budget approval process. Without a detailed legal framework, the policy's implementation is highly vulnerable to overlapping institutional authority and potential misappropriation of funds. Ultimately, technology-based monitoring strategies and accountable governance are the main keys to maintaining the stability of the State Budget (APBN).
