Abstract

The increasing volume of organic waste in Bebandem Village, Karangasem, is a serious problem due to the lack of understanding of housewives in managing it independently. As a solution, the PPK Ormawa KSR-PMI Team of Udayana University held an empowerment program through the Prabu Literacy Corner, which provided training and assistance in making compost using the Takakura method to 39 housewives. This activity was carried out in ten structured meeting sessions that included socialization, direct practice, and evaluation to ensure skill mastery. The results of the program showed a significant increase, where 100% of participants were now able to sort waste (an increase of 60.53%) and 100% of participants managed to master Takakura composting skills. The final achievement rate of the activity reached 96.91% with the category "Excellent". This training succeeded in increasing community independence in processing waste from its source and converting organic waste into value-added compost, as well as fostering concern for the environment.

Abstract

Lung function disorders are among the occupational health problems frequently experienced by workers in industries exposed to chemicals, dust, and vapors generated during production processes. The printing area represents a work environment with a high potential for exposure to chemicals such as organic solvents (toluene, xylene, and formaldehyde), fine particulates, and combustion gases. The purpose of this study, Factors Associated with Pulmonary Function Disorders Among Workers in the Printing Area of PT X, is to identify and analyze factors related to impaired lung function among workers in the printing area based on a literature review. The method used is a systematic literature review involving article searches in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases from 2013 to 2023. The synthesis results showed that work duration, exposure period, smoking habits, use of personal protective equipment, workspace ventilation, and concentrations of airborne chemicals were significantly associated with decreased pulmonary vital capacity (FVC) and first-second forced expiratory volume (FEV?). Continuous risk management efforts, including routine spirometry examinations, worker education, and ventilation engineering, are essential to reduce the risk of lung disorders in the printing industry.

Abstract

Back pain is a common complaint experienced by pregnant women, particularly in the later stages of pregnancy. It usually occurs in the lumbosacral area due to increased gestational age, parity, and physical activity that place pressure on the spine and surrounding muscles. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for back pain in pregnant women during the third trimester. This research is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at Anugerah Clinic Deli Serdang. The study population consisted of 52 participants, with a sample size of 35 respondents selected purposively. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level (? = 0.05). The results showed that age, occupation, parity, and physical activity had a significant effect on back pain among pregnant women in the third trimester at Anugerah Clinic Deli Serdang, with each p-value demonstrating statistical significance (p = 0.005; p = 0.012; p = 0.001; and p = 0.039), all below the 0.05 threshold. Further researchers are encouraged to examine additional factors that may influence back pain in third-trimester pregnant women, such as stress, posture, and lifestyle. A qualitative or mixed-methods approach could be employed to explore more deeply the experiences of both healthcare providers and patients.

Abstract

The operation of the steering system on a training ship often faces technical and operational obstacles that affect the vessel's maneuverability and navigational safety. This study aims to determine the impact of maneuvering risks that hinder the operation of the steering system on the Barombong Training Ship, as well as efforts for optimization of the steering system to improve the maneuverability of the Barombong Training Ship and navigational safety. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with an in-depth analysis of empirical data obtained from interviews, observations, and documentation on the Barombong Shipping Polytechnic Training Ship. The data were analyzed using the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) method to determine problem priorities. The results of the study show that the ship’s steering system is vital for ensuring navigational safety and maneuverability. Routine inspection and maintenance of the steering system—including checks on hydraulic pressure, rudder components, steering gear, and hydraulic fluid—are essential to prevent system failures. Additionally, ship maneuvers must be conducted carefully, with proper adjustments to the vessel’s speed based on sea and weather conditions to avoid excessive strain on the steering system. Effective communication among crew members and maneuvering drills under varying conditions are also critical for responding to emergency situations. Proper load distribution and speed reduction under certain conditions further enhance steering performance. This study recommends regular inspections, adequate maintenance, and consistent training to improve crew competence in maintaining the operational safety and maneuverability of the Barombong Training Ship.

Abstract

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungus that can cause infections, especially in individuals with low immune systems. Efforts to control this fungal infection can be done by utilizing natural ingredients as an alternative antifungal. Pineapple leaves (Ananas comosus) and green betel leaves (Piper betle L) are known to contain active compounds with antimicrobial properties. This study aims to determine the inhibitory power of a combination of pineapple leaf and green betel leaf extracts on the growth of Candida albicans and to compare their effectiveness at various concentrations. This research is a laboratory experimental study using the disc diffusion method. Three groups of extract concentration combinations were used: 20%, 40%, and 60%. The diameter of the inhibition zone was measured in millimeters, and data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test followed by a Tukey HSD test. The results showed that the 20% concentration produced the largest average inhibition zone diameter of 38.32 mm, while the 40% and 60% concentrations produced 28.46 mm and 28.31 mm, respectively. The ANOVA test showed a significant difference between groups (p < 0.05), and the Tukey HSD test showed that the 20% concentration was significantly different from the other two groups. The combination of pineapple leaf and green betel leaf extracts at a concentration of 20% was the most effective concentration in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans compared to concentrations of 40% and 60%.

Abstract

BRICS, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, represents over 40% of the world’s population, 25% of global GDP, and 17% of international trade. As a leading ASEAN economy, Indonesia’s membership offers opportunities for greater market access, foreign direct investment (FDI), and cooperation in technology and infrastructure. This research analyzes the impact of Indonesia’s BRICS membership on foreign policy and national growth using a qualitative, case study approach with data from literature reviews and online sources. Findings show that Indonesia’s formal membership, commencing on January 6, 2025, is a strategic effort to strengthen its global economic and political influence and counterbalance Western hegemony. Key benefits include expanded market access (non-oil and gas exports to BRICS reached $84.37 billion in 2024), investment diversification, technology collaboration, and alternative financing through the New Development Bank (NDB). Participation also enhances Indonesia’s negotiating leverage in international forums and aligns with its “free and active” foreign policy. However, challenges remain in maintaining diplomatic balance, particularly in managing differing interests among BRICS members (e.g., Russia and China) and addressing perceptions of bias toward certain Western blocs. Economic disparities and integration obstacles within BRICS also constrain cooperation. In conclusion, Indonesia must strategically manage its relations with both BRICS and Western partners while navigating internal dynamics to optimize the advantages of its membership.

Abstract

The coal mining industry faces significant challenges in managing operational costs, particularly those related to the maintenance of dump truck tires, which contribute 25–30% of total hauling operational expenses. This study examines a lifetime-based tire rotation strategy to minimize cost losses due to premature tire failures in positions 3 and 4 of HD785-7 dump trucks at the MIP mining site. The research method employs the Quality Control Circle (QCC) approach, consisting of eight systematic steps: problem identification, cause-and-effect analysis, solution determination, improvement implementation, result evaluation, and standardization. The implementation of the strategic tire rotation—by assigning tires with a lifetime of more than 8,000 hours to the 3rd and 4th positions, along with scheduled road patrols and optimized spare tire stock management—was carried out between April and August 2025. The results showed an 87% reduction in the loss cost for the left position (from IDR 291,947,858 to IDR 38,506,461) and a 65% reduction in the total loss cost for 27.00R49 tires (from IDR 404,792,592 to IDR 143,907,833), with the average lifetime progress of positions 3 and 4 increasing to 116% of the target. The scrap ratio changed from 5:3 (left:right) to 8:3, indicating the effectiveness of the rotation strategy in extending tire life at critical positions. This research makes a practical contribution to the mining industry by optimizing tire management through a predictive approach based on lifetime data and a comprehensive understanding of vehicle structural load distribution.

Abstract

The implementation of e-Government in the regions still faces obstacles, especially related to the readiness of management information systems, the quality of human resources, and leadership capacity in directing change. This study aims to analyze the influence of Management Information Systems, Human Resource Management, and Leadership on the implementation of e-Government by using quantitative research methods and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study showed that the Management Information System and Human Resource Management did not have a significant influence on the implementation of e-Government, while the Leadership variable was proven to have a significant effect with a significance value of 0.003. These findings indicate that the success of e-Government is more determined by leadership that is able to influence the direction of the organization, build a digital culture, and make strategic decisions oriented towards the transformation of public services. The novelty of this research lies in strengthening the perspective of digital leadership in the government sector, namely how leadership capacity plays a key factor in encouraging the adoption and sustainability of e-Government, beyond the role of technology and human resources. Based on these results, it is suggested that the Regional Government, especially Ciamis Regency, strengthen digital leadership through technology-based leadership training and increased leadership involvement in the government's digital transformation process.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder in adolescents and young adults, characterized by the presence of non-inflammatory and inflammatory lesions on the pilosebacebase unit. This condition is influenced by various factors such as hormonal, genetic, stress, and diet. Coffee as a caffeinated beverage is widely consumed by college students, so it is interesting to research its relationship with the severity of acne vulgaris. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of coffee consumption on the severity of acne vulgaris in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Prima Indonesia class of 2022–2024. Methods: This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 30 respondents who were selected using purposive sampling techniques according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection was carried out through the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) questionnaire to assess coffee consumption and the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) to assess the severity of acne vulgaris. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents were female (70%) and had a moderate level of coffee consumption (56.7%). The most severe acne vulgaris was found in the mild category (60%). The bivariate test showed a value of p = 0.057 (>0.05), which indicates that there is no significant relationship between coffee consumption and the severity of acne vulgaris. Conclusion: Coffee consumption was not significantly related to the severity of acne vulgaris in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Prima Indonesia. Other factors such as the type of coffee, drink mix, diet, stress, and genetic predisposition may also affect the onset of acne vulgaris.
