High-quality forage selection is a central factor in improving Bali cattle performance, particularly in smallholder systems that rely heavily on local feed resources. This study evaluated the effects of odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) and pakchong grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Thailand) on feed intake, average daily gain, and feed conversion ratio of male Bali cattle. The experiment was conducted for 30 days from February to March 2026 at CV. RnB Farm, Gorontalo Regency. Nine male Bali cattle with relatively homogeneous initial body weights of 150–200 kg was assigned to a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications. The treatments were P0, field grass as the control; P1, 100% odot grass plus concentrate; and P2, 100% pakchong grass plus concentrate. Dry matter intake did not differ significantly among treatments, with values of 6.47 ± 0.19, 6.52 ± 0.19, and 6.55 ± 0.16 kg/head/day for P0, P1, and P2, respectively. In contrast, average daily gain differed significantly, with the highest value observed in P2 at 0.56 ± 0.08 kg/head/day, followed by P1 at 0.52 ± 0.09 kg/head/day and P0 at 0.45 ± 0.06 kg/head/day. Feed conversion ratio also differed significantly, with the most efficient value recorded in P2 at 11.98 ± 2.10. These findings indicate that pakchong grass combined with concentrate provides the best feed efficiency and growth performance, while odot grass remains a promising alternative forage for improving Bali cattle productivity.

This study examines the role of extension agents in supporting the success of beef cattle farmer groups in Tabongo District, Gorontalo Regency. The success of farmer groups is influenced not only by livestock potential, but also by the effectiveness of extension services, institutional capacity, and farmers’ willingness to adopt improved farming practices. Using an explanatory approach, the study collected primary data from 50 members of beef cattle farmer groups across nine villages through a Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression. The descriptive findings show that extension agents performed well as educators, facilitators, motivators, dynamizers, and catalysts. However, the catalyst role was excluded from the regression model because its indicators were invalid. Partially, only the motivator role had a significant effect on group success, with a coefficient of 1.683, t-value of 4.758, and significance value of 0.000. The educator, facilitator, and dynamizer roles showed positive but insignificant effects. Simultaneously, the roles of extension agents significantly influenced group success, with an F-value of 9.474 and significance value of 0.000. The R Square value of 0.457 indicates that extension agents explained 45.7% of group success.

Hospitalization often triggers anxiety in children because of unfamiliar environments, invasive procedures, and disruption of daily routines. Pediatric nurses are expected to implement atraumatic care through developmentally appropriate, non‑pharmacological interventions. This community service program aimed to strengthen nurses’ and families’ skills in delivering puzzle‑based play therapy and to evaluate short‑term changes in children’s anxiety responses in the pediatric ward of Awal Bros Hospital, Batam. The program was conducted in December 2025 using an action-based approach: coordination with the ward team, preparation of graded puzzle sets and education media, bedside education for parents, and supervised play sessions. Four hospitalized children with different diagnoses (chemotherapy, childhood‑onset lupus erythematosus, febrile illness, and stoma care) participated. Anxiety was assessed before and after the session using an observation sheet and a faces anxiety scale adapted for clinical use. After a 20–30 minute session adjusted to the child’s developmental stage, all participants demonstrated lower anxiety scores and better cooperative behaviors. Caregivers also reported increased understanding of play therapy as part of holistic nursing care. Puzzle play therapy is feasible, low‑cost, and can be integrated into routine pediatric nursing to support coping during hospitalization.

This study aims to forecast beef prices in Palembang City and at the national level in Indonesia using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) method. The data used are the monthly average beef prices for the period January 2019 to December 2024. The analysis involves stationarity tests using Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), model identification through Autocorrelation Function (ACF) and Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) plots, parameter estimation with Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), and residual diagnostics with the Ljung-Box and Jarque-Bera tests. The results show that beef prices at both regional levels are not stationary at the level but become stationary after the first differencing (I(1)). The best ARIMA models obtained are ARIMA(0,1,1) for Palembang City and ARIMA(1,1,0) for the national level. Both models successfully predict price fluctuations with a low error rate and show a moderate price increase trend. These findings provide practical implications for price stabilization policy making and beef-related business planning. The forecast results state that beef prices in Palembang City and nationally are predicted to tend to rise in 2025 from January to December.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of Income Tax Article 25 (PPh 25) in increasing state tax revenue and reducing the tax burden on taxpayers. PPh 25 is a mechanism for periodic tax installment payments made by taxpayers based on estimated tax liabilities. This research adopts a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the Directorate General of Taxes’ reports, supported by questionnaires distributed to taxpayers within a specific Tax Service Office (KPP) area. The results show that the implementation of PPh 25 contributes significantly to tax revenue by encouraging taxpayer compliance and ensuring a stable cash flow for the state. Additionally, the installment system of PPh 25 helps reduce the annual tax burden on taxpayers both psychologically and administratively, as obligations are paid in stages. However, challenges remain in the accuracy of estimating tax liabilities, which can lead to overpayment or underpayment. Therefore, more intensive socialization and technical guidance are needed to improve taxpayers’ understanding and compliance with the PPh 25 mechanism.
