This study discusses the theory of decision-making applied in the management of MSMEs, focusing on a case study of MSME Nyiidam Duren Kertabumi which is facing a crisis and almost going bankrupt. The right decision-making process is very important for business continuity, especially in situations full of uncertainty. This study aims to explore the obstacles faced by MSMEs in managing the workforce and identify decision-making steps that can be taken to save the business. Based on direct interviews with business managers, it was identified that one of the main obstacles was the inability of the workforce to meet company expectations. This study also analyzes the decision-making style and process used in dealing with the crisis, and provides recommendations for strategic steps that can be taken to improve business conditions. The results of this study indicate that rational and participatory decision-making, with a focus on workforce training, performance evaluation, and the application of digital technology, can be an effective solution in facing existing challenges.

Introduction: This study explored the role of mass media in enhancing tsunami preparedness among young adults on the southern coast of Central Java, a region highly vulnerability to tectonic events. Mass media, with its extensive reach and persuasive influence, played a significant role in disaster communication, shaping public awareness and preparedness.
Methods: Guided by Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) and neuroscience perspectives, the research examined how cognitive and emotional responses to disaster information influenced preparedness behaviors. A survey was conducted with 175 respondents aged 18-24 from Calaca, a high-risk tsunami zone. Among these, 91 respondents had prior disaster experience, with 60.38% relying on mass media as their primary source of emergency information.
Findings: The survey results showed that 74.9% of respondents indicated readiness for disaster preparedness. The study integrated the ELM framework with cognitive neuroscience, emphasizing modification to critical element such as ability to process information and the nature of cognitive processing. These adaptations supported more effective, persuasive disaster communication.
Originality: The finding underscored the potential of mass media as powerful stimulus, shaping cognitive responses and preparedness behavior. This research contributed to understanding the interplay between disaster communication, cognitive processes, and behavioral outcomes, offering insights for designing targeted interventions to enhance preparedness.

Masita Wahyuni Asih 2024, The Effect of Non Performing Loan (NPL), Return on Asset (ROA), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) on Price to book value (PBV) at BUMN Banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018-2023 Period. Makassar STIM-LPI Management Science Study Program (supervised by Fausiah, S.E., M.Si. and Andi Herman Tellu, S.E., M.M.). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Non Performing Loan (NPL), Return on Asset (ROA), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) on Price to Book Value (PBV) at BUMN banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange both partially and simultaneously. Price to Book Value (PBV) is the dependent variable (Y), and three independent variables (X) are used, namely Non Performing Loan (NPL), Return on Asset (ROA), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). Saturated sampling was used to obtain secondary data from a population of 4 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Descriptive statistics and classical assumptions, such as multicollinearity assumption and heteroscedasticity assumption, have been tested in relation to the research findings. The data analysis approach uses panel data regression, hypothesis testing, and the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) test. The partially tested study results show that while non-performing loans (NPLs) do not affect price to book value (PBV) significantly, there are return on assets (ROA) and capital adequacy ratio (CAR) that do. The findings of this study also simultaneously show that PBV is significantly affected by NPL, ROA, and CAR.

Obesitas pada kehamilan memiliki prevalensi yang semakin meningkat, dengan data global dari Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists menunjukkan prevalensi 16-19%. Kondisi ini berdampak negatif pada ibu dan janin, meningkatkan risiko diabetes gestasional, preeklamsia, persalinan dengan bantuan, serta komplikasi neonatal. Ibu hamil dengan obesitas berisiko tinggi mengalami komplikasi yang membahayakan nyawa ibu dan janin. Berbagai intervensi dilakukan untuk mengatasi obesitas pada kehamilan, antara lain modifikasi asupan makanan dan pengontrolan berat badan berbasis gaya hidup. Tinjauan pustaka ini membahas epidemiologi, klasifikasi, faktor risiko, dampak, serta strategi pencegahan dan penanganan obesitas pada kehamilan. Pencarian literatur dilakukan menggunakan database PubMed, Science Direct, dan Google Scholar. Klasifikasi obesitas pada kehamilan berdasarkan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) sebelum kehamilan, yaitu obesitas kelas I (IMT 30-34,9 kg/m²), kelas II (IMT 35-39,9 kg/m²), dan kelas III (IMT ≥ 40 kg/m²). Faktor risiko meliputi usia maternal lanjut, riwayat obesitas sebelum kehamilan, kenaikan berat badan berlebihan, dan gaya hidup sedentari. Selain itu, peran Nitric Oxide (NO) dalam proses inflamasi, termasuk interaksi dengan sitokin pro-inflamasi dan regulasi epigenetik melalui Small Nuclear Ribonucleoproteins (snRNP), yang mempengaruhi respons imun pada kehamilan obesitas.

Information system is an important component of any institution, a proper information system could bring a lot of benefits. An example of this is the attendance system. Chinchin Production faced a difficult challenge of managing human resources because previously employees had to sign their attendance manually, which is proven to be inefficient. The solution to this challenge is a proper attendance system to replace the old manual attendance system. The development methodology used is Extreme Programming (XP). Extreme Programming (XP) is an Agile project management methodology that aims for speed and simplicity. The prototype is designed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a modelling tool to visualize the structure of the system, as well as Figma to design the User Interface (UI) of the system. This attendance system helps Chinchin Production in managing human resources.
