One of the common pests found in oil palm is the nettle caterpillar (Setothosea asigna), which can consume between 300 to 500 cm² of leaves per individual. A single oil palm tree may host between 5 to 10 of these caterpillars. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fogging in controlling Setothosea asigna infestations on oil palm trees of varying heights at PT Socfindo, Matapao Estate, North Sumatra. The research was conducted in two plantation blocks with different tree heights: block 49 with trees ranging from 9–12 meters and block 46 with trees ranging from 3–6 meters. Data collection involved an initial census to count caterpillars before fogging, followed by a post-fogging census to observe mortality rates. Data were analyzed using a t-test to compare the effectiveness of fogging between tall and short trees. The results showed that fogging was more effective on shorter trees, with an average mortality rate of 94%, compared to 90% on taller trees.

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) is a key strategic commodity in Indonesia, playing a vital role in national exports and supporting various industries, including food production and renewable energy. Harvesting is a critical phase in oil palm cultivation, and its outcomes are significantly influenced by agronomic practices and environmental conditions, such as waterlogging. This study aimed to compare oil palm yields between waterlogged and non-waterlogged fields and to assess the statistical significance of any differences observed. The research was conducted at Tanjung Buluh Estate, Division 3 of PT Socfin Indonesia, located in Teluk Mengkudu, North Sumatra. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was employed, focusing on a single factor: land condition (waterlogged vs. non-waterlogged). Results showed that the average fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yield from non-waterlogged plots was 109.4 kg, notably higher than the 78.9 kg recorded in waterlogged areas. A T-test yielded a P-value of 0.0929, approaching the 10% significance threshold, suggesting that waterlogging can potentially reduce oil palm productivity.
 

This study aims to analyze the differences in patient satisfaction levels among BPJS PBI, BPJS Non-PBI, and Non-BPJS groups, as well as to examine the influence of economic factors and service quality on patient satisfaction at the Tawangmangu Public Health Center. This research employs a quantitative approach, using data collection techniques through questionnaires distributed to 130 respondents selected via purposive sampling based on specific criteria. The results show that economic factors have a significant effect on patient satisfaction. Additionally, all dimensions of service quality (reliability, responsiveness, assurance, tangible evidence, and empathy) also significantly influence patient satisfaction. ANOVA analysis reveals a significant difference in satisfaction levels among the patient groups, with BPJS PBI and BPJS Non-PBI patients reporting higher satisfaction levels compared to Non-BPJS patients.

The majority of people in Balongsari Village, Megaluh District, Jombang Regency work as farmers. The rice harvest every harvest period produces very abundant agricultural waste. One of these agricultural wastes is rice husks. A common habit of farmers in this area is burning rice husks. This has an impact on environmental pollution, which comes from the smoke from burning rice husks. The purpose of this activity is to provide a solution for managing rice husk waste so that it is more useful. Proper processing of agricultural waste, namely rice husks, will produce various processed products, namely alternative fuel sources to replace kerosene or LPG gas or firewood. The objects of community service activities are youth of Karang Taruna and farmer groups. The results of this service activity are (1) Obtaining alternatives to replace fuel oil, (2) Reducing rice husk waste, (3) Providing added value to rice husks so that they become more useful. During the activity, participants were very enthusiastic about participating in the event from beginning to end, as evidenced by the results of the questionnaire after the activity, namely 90% of participants were very enthusiastic.

This study aims to determine the effect of lecturers' teaching styles on student achievement at Stella Maris University, Sumba. The research method used is quantitative with a survey approach through questionnaires and observations. Lecturers' teaching styles are categorized into four types, namely facilitator, demonstrator, delegator, and authoritarian styles. The results of the observation show that the facilitator style is the most dominant style used (45%), followed by demonstrator (35%), delegator (15%), and authoritarian (5%). Data analysis using simple linear regression shows an R Square value of 0.468, which means that the lecturer's teaching style explains 46.8% of the variation in student achievement. In addition, a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05) is obtained, which indicates that there is a significant influence between the lecturer's teaching style and student achievement. This finding confirms that the application of the right and participatory teaching style can improve student learning outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the E-BLUD system and human resource (HR) competencies on the quality, timeliness, and audit opinions of financial statements at the Tawangmangu Health Center. The problem raised is the obstacle in the use of E-BLUD caused by the low understanding of human resources and its influence on the performance of financial statements. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The results of the study show that the implementation of E-BLUD increases efficiency and effectiveness in the preparation of financial statements, accelerates the reporting process, and supports the achievement of positive audit opinions. However, obstacles in the form of limited digital competencies of human resources and incompatibility of educational backgrounds are still obstacles in optimizing the use of the system. These findings affirm the importance of improving human resource competencies through regular training and management support to optimize the benefits of E-BLUD. In conclusion, the effectiveness of E-BLUD and HR competencies have a significant effect on improving the quality, timeliness, and achievement of better audit opinions of financial statements, but full success requires continuous investment in human resource capacity development.

This study aims to analyze the factors that cause the decline in intercooler performance on the main engine of KM Bintan Utama, its impact on engine performance, and the corrective measures that need to be taken. Based on the analysis, three main factors contribute to the decrease in intercooler performance: dirty air fins in the intercooler, lack of routine maintenance, and blockage in the seawater pipe filter. This decline in intercooler performance significantly affects the main engine, such as increased engine temperature, which can lead to damage to critical components. To address this issue, several actions need to be taken, including cleaning the intercooler air fins regularly and ensuring maintenance is carried out according to the recommended manual. Proper maintenance implementation will help maintain the performance of the main engine and extend the life of the intercooler and other components.
