Needle Stick Injury (NSI) is a serious occupational hazard among healthcare workers due to the risk of transmitting bloodborne pathogens. A preliminary study at Puskesmas X found that 60% of healthcare workers had experienced NSI. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between work standards, skills, and training with the incidence of NSI among healthcare workers (nurses and midwives) at Puskesmas X, East Bolaang Mongondow Regency. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. A total sampling technique was used, resulting in 37 respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using statistical tests. The results showed majority of respondents were aged 26–34 years (67.6%), female (81.1%), and had experienced NSI (73.0%). Statistical analysis showed a significant association between work standards (p = 0.018), skills (p < 0.001), and training (p = 0.014) with NSI incidence. Poor work standards, inadequate clinical skills, and limited participation in training were strongly associated with higher rates of NSI. Community health centers are recommended to implement regular occupational safety training programs to improve the technical skills of healthcare workers.

The results showed that the average room temperature decreased from 34.6°C to 27.4°C, representing a reduction of 7.2°C, while the peak daytime temperature decreased by 8.7°C and met the established threshold limit value. In addition, chemical odor pollution was completely eliminated. Therefore, the Kaizen-PDCA approach proved effective in improving the physical work environment sustainably.

XYZ is a manufacturing company engaged in steel pipe production. In the production process of non-American Petroleum Institute (API) steel pipes, the company still experiences various types of waste, resulting in an inefficient production process. The identified wastes include defects, waiting, transportation, and non-value-added activities, which contribute to increased production time and reduced productivity. This study aims to analyze the major wastes occurring in the non-API steel pipe production process and propose improvements using the Lean Manufacturing approach. The methods employed in this study include Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Value Stream Analysis Tools (VALSAT), Process Activity Mapping (PAM), and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation of the production process. The results indicate that the dominant wastes affecting the production process are defects, waiting, and transportation. PAM analysis shows that non-value-added activities remain relatively high, leading to production time inefficiencies. Based on the FMEA results, the main causes of waste are machine conditions, work methods, and operator skills. Proposed improvements include periodic machine maintenance, production quality control, work method improvement, and the optimization of material flow.

Construction project control requires careful planning to avoid delays and cost overruns. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the CBT Laboratory Building construction project at the Faculty of Medicine, Wahid Hasyim University, Semarang, in terms of cost and time using the Earned Value Analysis (EVA) method, and to analyze acceleration alternatives using the crashing method. The method used is a quantitative approach with a case study, based on project data such as the Budget Plan (RAB), S-curve, and work progress reports. The analysis was carried out using the Earned Value Analysis (EVA) method to assess project performance in terms of cost and time through indicators such as CV, SV, CPI, and SPI. Furthermore, an acceleration analysis was conducted using the crashing method to determine the optimal alternative for overcoming project delays by considering time and cost efficiency. The results of the Earned Value Analysis indicate that the project experienced delays and cost overruns, as shown by SPI < 1 and CPI < 1. The estimated project completion time increased to 227 days, longer than the initial plan of 217 days, while the estimated final cost reached RP 5,451,241,064.85, exceeding the initial budget. Acceleration efforts using the crashing method show that adding adding labor is more efficient than working hours (overtime), resulting in a project duration of 212 days with lower costs of RP 5,658,221,364.08. Thus, the Earned Value Analysis method is effective for evaluating project performance, while crashing can be a solution for acceleration by considering time and cost efficiency.

This study explores Indonesian EFL student teachers’ experiences of learning to write news articles through blogging in a Journalism course. The study was motivated by the need to provide meaningful and genre-based writing practice for EFL student teachers, who often face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing information, meeting genre expectations, and writing for authentic aences. Employing a qualitative case study design, the study involved twenty undergraduate student teachers from a private Islamic university in Tangerang, Indonesia; all participants completed an online quetaire, and five volunteers joined follow-up semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire data were alysed descriptively, while the interview data were examined thematically. The findings indicate that blogging supported regular writing practice, helped students understand news text structure, enouraged clearer organization of headlines, leads, and supporting details, and increased engagement by allowing students to publish and share their work. Blogging also promoted peer interaction and selfevaluation because students could read, compare, and comment on one another’s posts. However, some paticpants eprienced challenges related to technical blogging skills, uncertainty about writing standards, limited peer feedback, and discomfort with public online publication. The study concludes that blogging can serve as a useful platform for EFL news writing when it is supported by explicit istrucion, relevant tasks, clear assessment criteria, structured feedback, and ethical awareness in using digital and AI-driven tools.

This study aims to examine the factors influencing employee engagement in AI-driven organizations, particularly from the perspective of Artificial Intelligence (AI) leadership. This literature review focuses on the relationship between AI leadership, AI utilization, and employee engagement in contemporary organizational settings. The review was based on recent empirical studies selected according to their relevance to artificial intelligence, leadership, employee engagement, work engagement, and knowledge sharing. The analysis indicates that AI does not inherently improve employee engagement merely through its availability in the workplace. Employee engagement is likely to improve with AI-savvy leadership that is supported by meaningful AI utilization, an innovative organizational culture, effective change leadership, work engagement, and enhanced team performance. AI implementation can promote employee knowledge sharing through learning opportunities, especially when supported by paradoxical leadership and positive employee attitudes toward technology. Therefore, this review highlights the importance of human-centered leadership in enabling employees to experience AI as a source of learning, collaboration, empowerment, and meaningful contribution.

Dijkstra's algorithm is one of the algorithms in graph theory that is used to solve the problem of the shortest path of a graph at each vertex that has a non-negative value. This algorithm was discovered by Edsger Wybe Dijkstra, a scientist from the Netherlands. The search for the shortest route for product delivery can be calculated through the application of the Dijkstra algorithm in the problem being faced. The problem of decision making for selecting the shortest route is still manual, so it experiences several obstacles, including the absence of a systematic and computerized system to assist the decision-making process in determining the route for shipping goods, the determination of shipping routes still depends on manual estimates so that the time taken between deliveries becomes inconsistent, the operational costs of shipping are relatively high because there is no optimal route determination system. Facing these problems, a system is needed that can minimize delays and increase effectiveness in shipping goods, namely determining the shortest route using the Dijkstra algorithm. This system works by finding various alternative routes for shipping goods at PT AMSA to address various structured and unstructured problems using data and models. To process this data and models, a method called the Dijkstra algorithm is required. Based on the description above, researchers will create a method for determining the shortest route for shipping goods at PT AMSA using the Dijkstra algorithm to facilitate the company's process of determining the shortest route.

The selection process for accepting new employees is one of the important stages in a company to ensure that the candidates accepted have qualifications that suit the company's needs. At WINMART, the selection process is still carried out manually, so it is less efficient and prone to errors. Therefore, a system is needed that can assist in more objective and efficient decision making. This Decision Support System (DSS) is designed to assist the selection process for recruiting new employees using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, which can assess several relevant criteria, such as work experience, education, skills and competency tests. This system was built on a web basis, so it can be easily accessed by parties involved in the selection process, such as HRD and managers. The SAW method was chosen because of its ability to convert various subjective criteria into more objective numerical scores, so that selection results can be more transparent and accountable. By using this system, it is hoped that it can increase efficiency, accuracy and transparency in the new employee selection process at WINMART, as well as facilitate decision making in selecting candidates who best suit the desired criteria.

Stunting is a major indicator of chronic nutritional problems that affect children’s growth and development. In Indonesia, stunting prevalence remains high and is a national public health concern. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between socio-demographic factors and stunting incidence among toddlers in the working area of the Tanoh Alas Health Center, Southeast Aceh Regency, in 2025. This study used an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 93 mothers with children under five selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets from June 19 to July 3, 2025. Statistical analyses included Chi-Square and multiple logistic regression tests. The results showed that 33.3% of children were stunted, 34.4% had poor access to health services, and 68.8% lived in unhealthy housing conditions. Bivariate analysis indicated significant relationships between maternal age (p = 0.007), maternal education (p = 0.012), maternal occupation (p = 0.002), access to health services (p = 0.001), family income (p = 0.032), and healthy housing conditions (p = 0.007) with stunting incidence. Multivariate analysis revealed that access to health services was the strongest factor associated with stunting (p = 0.010; OR = 4.294; 95% CI: 1.411–13.06). Children with limited access to health services were 4.3 times more likely to experience stunting. The study recommends improving the accessibility and quality of maternal and child health services and strengthening multisectoral interventions and health education programs to prevent stunting.

This study aims to examine the impact of academic burnout on students’ mental health in the context of hybrid learning through a literature review approach. The rapid transformation of learning systems in higher education, particularly the integration of online and offline methods, has increased academic demands and adaptation challenges for students. This condition potentially triggers academic burnout, which is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased academic achievement. This research employs a literature review method by analyzing relevant scientific articles published between 2019-2025 obtained from indexed national journals and open-access sources. The findings indicate that academic burnout is still commonly experienced by students, generally at a moderate level, and has a significant impact on mental health, including increased stress, emotional fatigue, and decreased academic performance. The study also identifies several influencing factors, including internal factors such as self-efficacy and hardiness, as well as external factors such as social support, learning environment, and academic workload. Furthermore, technological developments, particularly Artificial Intelligence, have the potential to be utilized as an early detection and prevention tool for academic burnout. This study implies the importance of developing adaptive learning strategies and psychological interventions to support students’ well-being in hybrid learning environments.

Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a common ocular surface disorder that can impair visual function and quality of life, particularly among working-age adults. Although DES has a multifactorial etiology, nutritional factors, such as omega-3 fatty acid intake, have been suggested to modulate inflammation associated with the condition. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary omega-3 intake and dry eye syndrome in adults. This cross-sectional analytical observational study included 88 participants aged 15-59 years. Participants were selected using consecutive non-random sampling and assessed with a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) to estimate omega-3 intake, while dry eye symptoms were evaluated using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). Statistical analyses included chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. The results showed that 51.1% of the participants had insufficient omega-3 intake (<250 mg/day), and 29.5% experienced dry eye syndrome. No statistically significant association was found between sex or age and DES occurrence. However, a significant association was found between omega-3 intake and dry eye syndrome (p < 0.001), with individuals consuming insufficient omega-3 having a substantially higher risk of developing DES. These findings suggest that adequate omega-3 intake may play a protective role in dry eye syndrome. This study underscores the potential of dietary interventions as a strategy for preventing and managing DES.

Irregular sleep patterns are a common issue experienced by university students and are often considered a normal part of academic life. However, such conditions can have negative effects on students’ learning concentration and cognitive function. Poor sleep patterns are generally influenced by various factors, including high academic workload, habitual late-night activities, poor time management, and excessive use of electronic devices at night. This study aims to examine the relationship between sleep patterns and students’ learning concentration, identify factors contributing to irregular sleep patterns, and analyze constraints as well as propose solutions to improve sleep quality in order to enhance learning concentration. The method used in this scientific paper is a literature review, which involves examining relevant scientific sources such as research journals and academic literature related to sleep patterns and students’ learning concentration. The results of the review indicate that students with poor sleep patterns tend to experience physical fatigue, decreased immune function, cognitive impairment, and difficulties in maintaining focus and concentration during the learning process. In the long term, these conditions have the potential to reduce academic achievement and learning motivation. Therefore, it can be concluded that effective time management, limiting the use of electronic devices before bedtime, creating a conducive sleep environment, and support from universities through health education play an important role in improving students’ sleep patterns. With regular and high-quality sleep, students’ learning concentration is expected to improve, allowing the learning process and academic achievement to proceed optimally.
