Raw material inventory is a crucial component that determines the smoothness of the production process, thus requiring an effective internal control system. This study aims to analyze the internal control system for raw material inventory at UD Saudara Jaya based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study type. The research informants consisted of the management, the head of the raw material department, the head of the production department, and the administration department selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model which includes data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions with validity tests through source and technique triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the five components of internal control have been implemented, but there are still weaknesses in inventory recording, documentation of evaluation results, and the use of technology that is still simple. The conclusion of the study shows that the internal control system for raw material inventory at UD Saudara Jaya has been running quite well in supporting smooth operations, but still requires improvement through digitalization of recording, strengthening control documentation, and increasing the use of information technology.

This study aimed to analyze the marketing channels of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in Gunung Ambat Village, Sei Bingai District, Langkat Regency, and analyze the marketing efficiency of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm in Gunung Ambat Village, Sei Bingai District, Langkat Regency. The research was conducted in Gunung Ambat Village using a purposive method for site selection. A total of 42 oil palm farmers were selected as respondents using the simple random sampling method. The data were analyzed using descriptive and quantitative approaches, including marketing channel analysis, marketing margin, Farmer’s Share, marketing efficiency, and the cost-benefit ratio. The results showed that there were two marketing channels, namely Channel I (Farmers → Collecting Traders → PT Putra Grup Agribisnis) and Channel II (Farmers → PT Putra Grup Agribisnis). A total of 32 farmers (76.19%) used Channel I, while 10 farmers (23.81%) used Channel II. The marketing margin in Channel I was IDR 200/kg, whereas Channel II had a marketing margin of IDR 0/kg. The Farmer’s Share values were 93.33% for Channel I and 100% for Channel II. The marketing efficiency values were 4.17% for Channel I and 3.00% for Channel II, indicating that both channels were efficient because their efficiency values were below 50%. The cost-benefit ratio in Channel I was 0.60, whereas the ratio for Channel II was not calculated because farmers sold FFB directly to PT Putra Grup Agribisnis without any marketing intermediary. Based on the overall analysis, Channel II was found to be the more efficient marketing channel due to its shorter marketing chain, lower marketing margin, and higher Farmer’s Share.

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. Bacterial colonization of the oral cavity and oropharynx contributes significantly to the development of VAP through microaspiration. Oral hygiene using 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate is recommended as part of the Ventilator Care Bundle to reduce bacterial colonization and decrease the risk of VAP. To describe the implementation of oral hygiene using 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate as a nursing intervention for preventing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients with pneumonia admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of RS X. A descriptive case study was conducted involving two mechanically ventilated patients diagnosed with pneumonia. Data were collected through family interviews, clinical observation, physical examination, medical record review, and assessment using the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS). Oral hygiene with 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate was performed twice daily for three consecutive days according to the ICU standard operating procedure. The first patient demonstrated improved oral hygiene, decreased tracheal secretions, negative sputum culture, and a CPIS of 3, indicating a low risk of VAP. The second patient also showed improvement in oral hygiene; however, the CPIS remained 8 due to bronchopneumonia with Acute RespiratoryDistress Syndrome (ARDS), severe oxygenation impairment, and persistent pulmonary inflammation. These findings suggest that oral hygiene contributes to maintaining oral cleanliness and reducing bacterial colonization, although its effectiveness in reducing VAP risk is influenced by disease severity and the patient's clinical condition. Oral hygiene using 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate is an effective nursing intervention for maintaining oral hygiene as part of VAP prevention. However, optimal outcomes require comprehensive implementation of the Ventilator Care Bundle and appropriate management of other clinical factors associated with VAP.

Pressure injury remains an important patient safety indicator and continues to pose a significant challenge in healthcare, particularly among patients with limited mobility. Patients with ischemic stroke complicated by pneumonia are at high risk of developing pressure injuries due to prolonged immobility, physical weakness, and reduced activity tolerance. In the ICU of Hospital X, five cases of pressure injury were reported between January and December 2025. Furthermore, from January to May 2026, a total of 146 bedridden patients were identified as being at risk for pressure injury based on the COMHON Index. Repositioning every two hours is a recommended nursing intervention for preventing pressure injuries. To analyze the implementation of nursing care through two-hourly repositioning as an intervention to prevent the risk of pressure injury in two patients with ischemic stroke and pneumonia. This study employed a case study design using the nursing care process involving two patients with ischemic stroke complicated by pneumonia who were at risk of developing pressure injury. Patient assessment was conducted using the COMHON Index, followed by the implementation of two-hourly repositioning and regular skin condition monitoring throughout the course of care. Two-hourly repositioning was successfully implemented according to the planned nursing interventions. During the two-day observation period, neither patient developed a pressure injury, and skin integrity was maintained. In the patient classified as high risk, blanchable erythema was observed over the sacral area but improved following regular repositioning and continuous skin assessment. Two-hourly repositioning is an effective nursing intervention that supports the prevention of pressure injury in patients with ischemic stroke and pneumonia. This intervention should be implemented consistently and accompanied by regular skin assessment to maintain skin integrity.

Pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of respiratory disorders among critically ill patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Pulmonary inflammation increases airway secretion production, leading to ineffective airway clearance, particularly in patients with decreased consciousness or artificial airways. Retained secretions may cause airway obstruction, impaired gas exchange, hypoxemia, and respiratory failure. Endotracheal suctioning is a nursing intervention aimed at maintaining airway patency by removing accumulated secretions. To describe the implementation of suctioning in managing ineffective airway clearance among patients with pneumonia admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital X. This study employed a descriptive case study design using the nursing process approach involving two patients diagnosed with pneumonia and ineffective airway clearance. Data were collected through family interviews, direct observation, physical examination, medical record review, and respiratory assessment before and after suctioning over two consecutive days. Respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, breath sounds, sputum volume, sputum characteristics, and patient responses were evaluated. The implementation of suctioning improved respiratory status in both patients. In the first patient, respiratory rate decreased from 24 to 22 breaths/minute, sputum production decreased from approximately 15 mL to 10 mL, rhonchi diminished, and oxygen saturation increased from 97% to 99%. In the second patient, respiratory rate decreased from 20 to 19 breaths/minute, sputum production decreased from approximately 10 mL to 5 mL, sputum became less viscous, rhonchi diminished, and oxygen saturation remained stable between 98% and 99%. Suctioning performed according to the standard operating procedure effectively maintains airway patency, reduces secretion retention, improves respiratory patterns, and enhances airway clearance in critically ill patients with pneumonia.

The implementation of the Periodic Salary Increase Information System (SIGABER) at the East Nusa Tenggara Province Education and Culture Office still faces various obstacles in the aspects of accountability, transparency, and effectiveness that affect the quality of digital-based administrative services. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the SIGABER Program based on the aspects of accountability, transparency, and effectiveness. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach. The study population was the parties involved in the implementation of SIGABER, while the sample was determined purposively by 10 informants consisting of the Head of the Personnel and General Affairs Subdivision, six SIGABER operators, and three ASN and teachers who use SIGABER. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document studies with the researcher as the main instrument. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions, and tested with triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results of the study indicate that SIGABER has improved management accountability, transparency of service information, efficiency of administrative processes, and the quality of periodic salary increase services. However, obstacles were still found in the form of incomplete documents, internet network disruptions, data input errors, weak coordination, and changes in school operators without notification. This study concludes that the implementation of SIGABER has been running quite well in supporting digital-based personnel administration services, but still requires strengthening coordination, compliance with procedures, infrastructure improvements, and user assistance so that program implementation is more optimal.
