<![CDATA[The efficiency of healthcare services is a major challenge in managing healthcare facilities, particularly due to increasing demands for service quality and limited available resources. Ineffective cost management can reduce the performance of healthcare organizations and disrupt service sustainability; therefore, cost accounting is essential as a management tool to provide accurate cost information, control waste, and improve the efficiency of healthcare services. This study aims to analyze the role of cost accounting in improving the efficiency of healthcare services using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The literature review process was conducted using the PICOS framework to ensure alignment with population, intervention, outcomes, and study design. Articles were retrieved from various national and international scientific databases within a publication period of the last five to ten years. Articles that met the inclusion criteria were qualitatively analyzed to identify how cost accounting is implemented and its impact on efficiency and performance of healthcare services. The results show that the application of cost accounting methods such as responsibility accounting, activity-based costing, and the development of technology-based cost accounting systems makes a positive contribution to improving healthcare service efficiency by increasing the accuracy of cost identification, controlling operational expenditures, and maximizing resource utilization. In addition, the use of digital technology in cost accounting systems enhances transparency, accountability, and the quality of financial information that supports managerial decision-making. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that cost accounting plays an important role in supporting healthcare service efficiency, where the application of appropriate methods, supported by managerial capability and information technology, is a key factor in achieving efficient, sustainable, and high-quality healthcare services.]]>

<![CDATA[Antioxidants play an important role in preventing cell damage, primarily through free radical scavenging mechanisms. This study aimed to formulate clay masks based on butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) and jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus L.) flower powder and to evaluate their physical characteristics. Butterfly pea flowers were used for their anthocyanin and flavonoid content, which act as antioxidants, while jicama was chosen for its vitamin C and flavonoid content. Clay mask formulations were made with varying concentrations of butterfly pea and jicama flower powder. These were then tested for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, drying time, and antioxidant activity. The clay mask results showed good physical properties: a semi-solid texture, and a pH value within the skin-friendly range of 4.5-8.0, indicating no irritation. The homogeneity test confirmed that all formulations were uniform, without lumps or unmixed particles. The drying time of the clay masks ranged from 15.19 to 15.26 minutes, meeting the optimal range of 15-20 minutes. Antioxidant activity, formula 0 has an IC50 of 102.75 µg/mL (moderate activity), formula 1 (10% butterfly pea flowers, 10% jicama) shows strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 62.15 µg/mL. Formula 2 (12% butterfly pea flowers, 8% jicama) shows strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 53.70 µg/mL. Formula 3 (8% butterfly pea flowers, 12% jicama), with an IC50 of 41.20 µg/mL, so it is classified as very strong.]]>

<![CDATA[Digital transformation in primary health care services has increased work demands among health workers, particularly in administrative tasks and application-based reporting systems. This condition may affect the work motivation of Puskesmas staff if it is not balanced with adequate work resources. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the work motivation of Puskesmas health workers through an integrative approach of the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model and the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory. The activity was conducted at UPTD Muara Rapak Public Health Center, Balikpapan, using a descriptive participatory approach. The stages included identification of work-related problems, prioritization of key issues, implementation of educational and reflective interventions, and initial evaluation of staff responses. The intervention focused on improving staff understanding of the balance between job demands and job resources, as well as the importance of protecting individual resources in dealing with digital work demands. The results indicated an improvement in staff awareness and understanding regarding workload management, utilization of organizational support, and maintenance of individual resources. The integration of the JD-R model and COR theory is considered relevant as a conceptual basis for strengthening health workers’ motivation in primary health care settings. This activity is expected to serve as an initial reference for developing human resource strengthening strategies in primary health care services.]]>

<![CDATA[Workshop building structures commonly use conventional steel materials known for their strength, but they pose challenges in terms of cost, transportation, and time efficiency—particularly in projects located in remote areas. This study aims to optimize the structural cost of Workshop buildings by integrating the approaches of Value Engineering (VE), the selection of Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) material, the Life Cycle Costing (LCC) method, and risk evaluation. VE is applied to identify the primary functions of the structure and propose more efficient alternatives without compromising performance. CFS is selected due to its lightweight nature, ease of transportation and installation, and suitability for remote project locations. The LCC method is used to assess total costs over the building's life cycle, including initial investment, maintenance, and residual value. Risk evaluation is conducted to identify potential technical, operational, and economic obstacles that may affect implementation success. The results show that the use of CFS through VE and LCC approaches can significantly improve cost efficiency compared to conventional steel structures. This approach not only reduces initial project costs but also saves long-term expenses through minimal maintenance and optimal service life. Risk evaluation supports more informed decision-making, making this integrated approach an effective strategy for designing economical, efficient, and sustainable Workshop structures.]]>
