Consumer Preferences and Sensory Profiles of Commercially Processed Meat Analog Products in Indonesia

2025-06-03T12:15:28+00:00

The increasing global demand for beef challenges the sustainability of traditional meat production, leading to the emergence of meat analogs as a promising alternative. However, consumer unfamiliarity and low sensory appeal remain key challenges to broader acceptance. This study aimed to identify key sensory attributes using the Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) method, assess consumer preferences through hedonic testing, and explore the relationship between texture and preference using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Four commercial meat analog products available in Indonesia were evaluated through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with 8 consumer participants and sensory testing with 32 consumer panelists. Results showed that rendang was the most preferred product (hedonic score: 4.97), driven by attributes such as meaty flavor, rendang flavor, oily shine, and tender, fibrous, and juicy textures. Steak ranked second (4.37), with similar favorable characteristics. In contrast, beef slice balado (3.78) and jerky (3.44) were less preferred, mainly due to texture characteristics that did not align with consumer expectations. PLS-SEM analysis confirmed that texture is a major factor influencing consumer preference. These findings emphasize the importance of improving texture quality to support the acceptance of meat analog products.

The Influence of Work Environment on The Interaction Between Motivation, Employee Performance, Compensation and Employee Job Satisfaction (Analysis on Multinational and Domestic Companies)

2025-06-03T10:25:19+00:00

This study aims to analyze the effect of the work environment on the interaction between motivation, employee performance, compensation, employee job satisfaction by comparing multinational and domestic companies. Data was collected using questionnaires distributed to employees in multinational and domestic companies in the West Java and Jakarta regions. The results show that the work environment significantly strengthens the positive effect between motivation and employee job satisfaction by 0.42, and the work environment significantly strengthens the positive effect between compensation and employee job satisfaction by 0.03. The work environment functions as a moderator that strengthens the relationship between motivation and compensation with job satisfaction. When the work environment supports, whether through good social relationships, support from supervisors, or adequate facilities, the effect of motivation and compensation on job satisfaction becomes more significant. However, it was found that the relationship between employee performance and job satisfaction is not significant at 0.190, which could be influenced by other factors such as the compensation received or the improvement of career opportunities. Multinational companies tend to have modern facilities and offer better international training opportunities, while domestic companies emphasize family values and provide facilities that are not inferior to multinational companies. However, there is a significant difference between multinational and domestic companies in managing the work environment, with the statistical value comparison of 0.759 for multinational companies and 0.806 for domestic companies. This shows that, in this study, the work environment has a better impact on job satisfaction in domestic companies compared to multinational.

2025-06-03T11:58:15+00:00

Levonorgestrel implant is the most used in Indonesia, it is free provided by BKKBN. Levonorgestrel implant provides 99.95% of effectiveness. However, it could not prevent pregnancy absolutely including ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening condition that is oftenly ignored by the patient and sometimes misdiagnosed. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is very low, particularly in implant contraceptive users. Despite this fact, little is known about mechanism of implant failure including its correlation to ectopic pregnancy, and studies are limited. This case report presented a levonorgestrel implant contraceptive failure result in ectopic pregnancy. A 21-years-old woman P1001 was provided with levonorgestrel implant seventh month before admission. Patient was presented to emergency department after suffering from severe lower abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with ruptured ectopic pregnancy and underwent exploratory laparotomy. Her ruptured right fallopian tube was ligated and partially removed. Histopathological examination supported the diagnosis, chorionic villi lined with syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast cells in right fallopian tube tissue were found. The levonorgestrel implant was removed and she was scheduled for next contraceptive counseling. This case report emphasizes the fact that low incidence of contraceptive implant failure, does not rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Several hypotheses have been proposed as the cause of ectopic pregnancy. Further research is necessary to determine definitive etiology in ectopic pregnancy with levonorgestrel implant contraceptive failure.

The Relationship Between Islamic Music and Spirituality A Study by Musician Setiawan Djody

2025-06-03T10:19:42+00:00

The relationship between music and Islamic spirituality is complex and multifaceted, reflecting diverse interpretations and practices across the Muslim world. While some Islamic perspectives remain cautious or critical toward music, others embrace it as a medium for enhancing spiritual devotion. In particular, certain traditions incorporate music into religious practice to evoke emotional states conducive to spiritual reflection and a sense of closeness to God. Setiawan Djody, an Indonesian musician and businessman, exemplifies this integration by infusing Islamic spiritual values into contemporary music. His performances often begin with dhikr (remembrance of God), symbolizing a fusion of artistic expression and spiritual intent. Beyond his musical endeavors, Djody established the Hira Foundation, an Islamic da'wah institution that promotes religious values through cultural and musical engagement. Through these efforts, Djody illustrates how music can serve not only as entertainment but also as a meaningful conduit for spiritual experience. This study highlights the significance of using contemporary music as a vehicle for Islamic spiritual discourse, expanding access to religious reflection and fostering a culturally resonant form of da'wah in the modern era.

Meta-Study Analysis of the Effectiveness of Intermittent Fasting as Insomnia Therapy

2025-06-20T04:13:00+00:00

Circadian rhythm disturbances can lead to disruptions in the wake-sleep cycle, resulting in insomnia. Leptin and ghrelin, digestive hormones secreted by the stomach, influence the gut-brain axis. Leptin secretion affects the ventral hypothalamus, reducing metabolism and increasing melatonin secretion, which is essential for initiating sleep. Intermittent fasting (IF) is known to improve circadian rhythms and elevate leptin levels. This study involved a literature search from databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, guided by PRISMA, including five studies. Meta-analysis of the relationship between IF and total sleep time showed a positive effect with heterogeneous data (WMD 2.1; -0.05, 0.81), while the 8-hour eating window subgroup showed no significant change (WMD 3.5; 2.89, 4.11). Analysis of IF and the Insomnia Sleep Index (ISI) revealed a positive effect (WMD 0.58; 0.17, 1.00), with no significant improvement in the 6-month subgroup (WMD 0.96; 0.54, 1.38). The relationship between IF and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) initially showed negative effects (WMD -0.06; -0.41, 0.29), but after six months, it showed positive effects (WMD 0.61; 0.23, 0.98). These results suggest IF benefits sleep quality, but larger, longer studies are needed for better outcomes.

Optimizing Machine Learning for Daily Rainfall Prediction in Bogor: A Statistical Downscaling Approach

2025-06-03T10:52:00+00:00

This study explores the use of machine learning models as a statistical downscaling technique to predict daily rainfall in Bogor, Indonesia. The general circulation model (GCM) is a leading tool for climate prediction, and this research applied a two-stage machine learning model to improve its predictions. The main objectives were to evaluate different GCM domains and handle missing data using two imputation approaches. The first stage involved constructing datasets with varying methods for addressing missing values, followed by the application of a support vector classification (SVC) model to classify rainy and non-rainy days. In the second stage, a recurrent neural network (RNN) model was developed to predict daily rainfall amounts. The results revealed that using random forest imputation for missing data enhanced model accuracy and reduced the root mean square error (RMSE). Among the different GCM domains, the 5 km resolution GCM data was the most accurate when compared to local station climatology. The SVC model, using a radial basis function kernel, achieved an impressive classification accuracy of 98.5%, while the RNN model achieved an RMSE of 16.19. These findings are valuable for improving rainfall predictions and can provide effective data-driven recommendations for disaster mitigation efforts in the region.

Comparison of the Accuracy of Stratified Random Sampling and Simple Random Sampling Methods in National Assessment (AN)

2025-06-20T04:13:59+00:00

Sampling methods are crucial for large-scale assessments. International surveys like PISA, TIMSS, and PIRLS use stratified random sampling (StRS) to enhance estimation accuracy, ensure representation of all subpopulations, and provide efficient administration. Similarly, Indonesia's National Assessment (AN) applies StRS, dividing populations by school size, class size, and gender. However, the accuracy of the AN sampling method, including its reliability and validity, has not been tested since its 2021 implementation. This study compares the reliability and validity of the AN sampling method to simple random sampling (SRS). Reliability is assessed by the consistency of estimates across repeated sampling, indicated by small standard error (SE) and confidence intervals (CI). Validity measures how accurately sample estimates reflect population parameters, evaluated through Mean Square Error (MSE). Using AN data from 1.9 million junior high school students out of 4.2 million, the analysis shows no significant differences in national population parameters between StRS and SRS. Both methods produce similar mean estimates (55) and standard deviations (10.7). However, StRS demonstrates greater variability in weights, reflecting its ability to account for sampling structure. At the school level, StRS outperforms SRS, yielding narrower CI and MSE ranges, highlighting its superior reliability. While MSE differences are statistically significant, their practical impact is minor due to the small effect size and large dataset. These results suggest StRS is more reliable for school-level reporting.

Evaluating The Efficacy of MGSO4 as an Adjuvant to 0.5% Bupivacaine in Supraclavicular-Intercostobrachial Nerve Blocks for Upper Extremity Hemodialysis Vascular Access Surgery

2025-06-03T12:39:28+00:00

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) has garnered increasing attention as an adjunct to regional anesthesia, particularly for patients with compromised kidney function requiring upper limb surgery for hemodialysis access. While peripheral nerve blocks are commonly selected for their safety and efficacy in such populations, their delayed onset of action can pose a clinical drawback. To address this issue, a randomized clinical study was conducted at RSUP Prof. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah to investigate the benefits of adding 200 mg of 20% MgSO₄ to supraclavicular-intercostobrachial nerve blocks. A total of 28 participants were randomized into two groups: one receiving the magnesium additive and another as a control. The study assessed onset time for full sensory and motor block as well as analgesia duration. Results indicated that patients in the MgSO₄ group experienced faster sensory (average 10.08 minutes) and motor block onset (average 17.98 minutes), compared to the control group (17.19 and 25.19 minutes, respectively). Moreover, the duration of pain relief was substantially extended in the MgSO₄ group, exceeding 470 minutes on average. Secondary observations also revealed a lower intraoperative requirement for fentanyl and a potential regulatory effect on inflammation-related biomarkers, such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios. Overall, the findings suggest that MgSO₄ can serve as a valuable and safe enhancer of nerve block performance, especially in vulnerable surgical populations.

The Use of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis in History Education

2025-06-19T06:51:11+00:00

Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) is a qualitative research methodology used to understand the subjective reality of informants through their personal interpretations of life experiences and the meanings they derive from those experiences (Smith, 2011). Initially, IPA was widely used in psychological studies. Over time, and with the development of knowledge, IPA has been adopted in other fields, including education. This article seeks to describe the use of IPA by researchers in the study of history education. Specifically, the author explores aspects of collective national emotions, particularly nationalism, experienced and embedded in high school students during and after their history learning, especially in local history. I attempt to present a small example that IPA can indeed be very effective in describing students' learning experiences and the affective outcomes (emotions and attitudes) from learning that should ideally become ingrained within them. Regarding history education, the involvement of collective emotions such as nationalism should be embedded in students both during and after the learning process, ultimately shaping the national character of all students even after they have graduated. The results of this study indicate that using the IPA method in this research is quite meticulous and produces a significant amount of required data. It shows that high school graduates in Papua do not perceive local history learning as interesting and that it minimally evokes emotions, thus failing to foster or strengthen their Indonesian nationalism.
