<![CDATA[This study investigated the factors affecting the length of hospital stay (LOS) for low birth weight (LBW) infants at Arifin Achmad Regional Hospital in 2024. Using a quantitative retrospective correlational design, the research analyzed data from the medical records of 73 LBW infants. An observation sheet served as the primary instrument, and data were analyzed using chi-square and Spearman rank correlation tests. The findings revealed a significant relationship between LOS and gestational age (p = 0.000), birth weight (p = 0.000), and the presence of complex illnesses (p = 0.000). A lower gestational age, lower birth weight, and the existence of multiple health diagnoses were all associated with a longer hospitalization period. Conversely, factors such as infant sex, feeding method, and the implementation of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) were not found to have a statistically significant effect on LOS. The study's primary limitation was its lack of differentiation between specific types of illnesses. Future research should consider this distinction to better inform clinical practices aimed at reducing hospitalization duration for this vulnerable population.]]>

<![CDATA[Brake lining is one of the important components in a motor vehicle that functions to slow or stop the speed of the vehicle. In its application, brake lining has good physical properties and characteristics and meets safety factors. The use of palm fiber powder composites as an alternative material for brake linings was investigated to replace the use of asbestos, which carries health risks due to exposure to hazardous substances. In addition to the composition of palm fiber powder, the particle size of palm fiber powder is also a factor that can affect the wear rate value of the brake lining material. Because particle size affects the physical and mechanical properties of the composite. This study aims to analyze the effect of palm fiber powder particle size on the wear rate of brake lining. Palm fiber powder is available in sizes 40 mesh, 50 mesh, and 60 mesh. The results showed that the highest wear rate was found at 40 mesh particle size with a value of 1.83 x 10-⁷ g/mm²-second, followed by 50 mesh at 1.36 x 10-⁷ g/mm²-second, and the lowest at 60 mesh with a value of 8.49 x 10-⁸ g/mm²-second. This study indicates that the particle size of palm fiber has an effect on the wear rate value, where smaller particle sizes tend to produce better bonds between the particles and the composite matrix, thereby reducing the wear rate.]]>

<![CDATA[Inventory management is a critical aspect of business operations, but at PT Integrasi Data Nusantara, the process of determining optimal stock levels and reorder points is still done manually, leading to risks of overstocking or stockouts. This results in high operational costs and potential dissatisfaction among training participants due to a mismatch between supply and dynamic demand. This study aims to optimize the goods tracking and inventory system by using a Genetic Algorithm to address these inefficiencies. The research was conducted at PT Integrasi Data Nusantara using historical training demand data and associated inventory cost data. The methodology includes designing an optimization system, implementing a genetic algorithm with a chromosome structure (ROP, ROQ), a fitness function that minimizes total costs, and evolutionary operators (selection, crossover, mutation). The research results show that the developed system is effective in recommending optimal inventory policies, successfully eliminating all stockout incidents, and significantly improving cost efficiency compared to manual methods. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of a Genetic Algorithm can be an adaptive and functional solution to support more accurate, efficient, and automated inventory decision-making.]]>

<![CDATA[Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) infants, those weighing less than 1,500 grams, face a high risk of complications such as respiratory distress, infections, and thermoregulatory instability due to organ immaturity. This condition necessitates intensive, comprehensive nursing care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Objective: This study aims to systematically describe the nursing care process provided to a premature infant with VLBW to illustrate the application of evidence-based practice. Methods: A descriptive qualitative case study design was used. The population included all VLBW infants at the NICU of An Ni’mah Hospital, PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, with a single case (infant By. H) selected as the sample. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis followed the nursing process steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Results: Infant By. H, with a birth weight of 1350 grams, presented with four primary nursing diagnoses: ineffective breathing pattern, nutritional deficit, risk of infection, and ineffective thermoregulation. Conclusion: The systematic and collaborative nursing interventions proved effective in stabilizing the infant's clinical condition, as evidenced by improved respiratory function, significant weight gain, stable body temperature, and the absence of new infections. This case highlights the vital role of nurses in neonatal care and serves as a valuable learning tool.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the effect of feed rate variations on the wear of High-Speed Steel (HSS) end mill cutters during the CNC milling of Aluminum 5052. The research addresses the challenge of optimizing tool life by exploring the complex interplay between feed rate, temperature, and wear. A quantitative approach was adopted, combining experimental tests with a Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation. The experiment used a fixed cutting depth of 1.5 mm and varied feed rates at 30, 40, and 50 mm/min. Data on temperature and tool wear were collected using an infrared thermometer and a digital microscope, respectively, while FEM simulations were performed using ANSYS to analyze thermal and mechanical stresses. The results showed that tool wear was not linearly proportional to temperature, with the highest wear occurring at 40 mm/min, despite lower temperatures. The FEM simulations successfully visualized critical zones of stress and deformation, confirming that tool performance is a function of both thermal and mechanical factors. In conclusion, optimizing feed rate is crucial for minimizing wear, and this integrated approach provides a robust framework for enhancing machining efficiency.]]>
