'Keripik Lumba-Lumba' is a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) that specializes in the production of cassava chips and banana chips. This SME faces several problems such as raw material shrinkage due to shipping, double work, and different product shelf life between each distributor. This research designed a solution to the problems in the SME with shelf-life preservation, job design, and new packaging design. A truck equipped with a temperature control system was designed to prevent the banana raw materials from rotting during transport. Wooden boxes were also provided in the truck for separating containers, these wooden boxes were lined with a solid mixture of KMnO4, clay, and ash. To solve the problem of the production process within ‘Keripik Lumba-Lumba’, the job design system can be changed to schedule and allocate employees according to their respective tasks. On the issue of shelf life difference between convenience stores and distributors, the packaging material for distributors can be changed from plastic to aluminium foil. This will allow ‘Keripik Lumba-Lumba’ to continue to grow with the application of technology in the process of delivery, storage, packaging as well as changes in the work system.

The increasing age of humans leads to reduced strength and muscle mass. Increasing age can also cause a decrease in the function of other organs, such as the urinary tract so that some elderly people have difficulty moving places to urinate and need to use diapers. The types of urinary catheters on the market are intermittent catheters, suprapubic catheters, and external catheters. The purpose of this study was to design a special external catheter for women with the name Ecable. Ecable is designed according to the needs of users both the elderly themselves and people who care for the elderly. The method used in this design is design thinking. ecable consists of five major components: a urine bag, an alarm, a hose, special underwear, and a urine funnel. The advantages offered by this product are easy to install and remove, comfortable to use, minimize unpleasant odors, there is a full urine bag detection alarm, minimize the cause of irritation, and are cost-effective because they can be used repeatedly. This catheter is expected to help the elderly and caregivers to overcome existing needs.

In carrying out the production process, the company must pay attention to the health and safety of the workforce to support labor productivity. However, K3 at PT XYZ, especially in the production process, is still not going well according to the law, one of which is the use of PPE is considered not important by the workforce. This study aims to analyze the risks and controls in the production process. This research was conducted by identifying potential hazards by categorizing them into risk levels and determining the control of potential hazards in the production process using the HIRADC method. The results of this study indicate that there are 9 risks in the production division, with the grouping of 5 risks classified as high risk (high) which includes high risks such as bandsaw regarding sawdust, assembly, 1 moderate risk (moderate) risk, namely the raw material part, and 3 the risk is classified as low risk (low) which includes low risk such as band saw machines for chop saws. Based on the results of the risk assessment, most machines are classified as high risk, so it is necessary to improve the implementation of K3 and improve the source of danger. Of all the hazards and risks in the production division of PT XYZ, an analysis of potential hazards and their control is carried out using the HIRADC method. The recommendations given include completing PPE, carrying out engineering for example, carrying out eliminations such as using dust powder covers and using push sticks.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease due to impaired blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes mellitus dominantly causes most deaths in the world. The number of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) was ranked the second highest at the Surabaya Haji General Hospital. Purpose: This study described characteristics of patients with type 2 DM at the Surabaya Haji General Hospital. Methods: This study was descriptive and used a cross-sectional research design. This study’s population were patients with type 2 DM who visited Diabetes Unit at Surabaya Haji General Hospital. This study was conducted in the Diabetes Unit at the Surabaya Haji General Hospital by involving 114 respondents as the samples. These respondents were interviewed using questionnaires from 11 March to 11 April 2019. The study’s variables were patients’ characteristics including age, gender, family history, and disease duration. Data were analyzed using a univariate analysis with a frequency table. Results: Almost all of patients with type 2 DM at Surabaya Haji General Hospital were aged ≥40 years (94.7%) and female (71.9%). The majority of patients had a family medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus disease (60.5%) and long disease duration of >5 years (5.,4%). Conclusion: Almost patients with type 2 DM in Surabaya Haji General Hospital were elderly who had a family medical history of diabetes mellitus and had suffered from type 2 diabetes mellitus for >5 years. Keywords: diabetes mellitus, characteristics, hospital, descriptions.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have a very important role in the development of the Indonesian economy. Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) is one of the provinces that has many SMEs. The SMEs has the potential to penetrate the international market, one of which is a wooden handicraft SMEs. Woodencraft can be used as a cluster because it fulfills three factors that enable it to compete in the international market, namely the factor of global market needs, the factor of superior products, and potential SME product factors. However, woodencraft SMEs still face obstacles in product penetration abroad, namely obstacles from internal SMEs, the government, and international markets. The solution offered to help woodencraft SMEs to go international a program called Integrated Woodencraft Cluster, which is a cluster of woodencraft SMEs that integrates supply chain management (SCM) based distribution systems with four main lines (suppliers, production, sales, and information), internet-based information systems, and Just In Time (JIT) principle. The program involves local government, civil service, wood handicraft SMEs, suppliers of raw materials, and academics. The advantages of Integrated Woodencraft Clusters compared to conventional clusters include having a clear vision for exporting production, a structured managerial system, having an export agency, supplying raw materials, clear lines of information, and being able to facilitate all SME woodencraft, both on a small scale and intermediate.

Perbedaan suku bangsa merupakan salah satu faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap variasi antropometri. Walaupun Indonesia terdiri dari berbagai suku bangsa, penelitian antropometri yang membahas hal tersebut masih sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengumpulkan data antropometri mahasiswa Indonesia, sekaligus membandingkan dimensi antropometri antara mahasiswa Indonesia bersuku Batak dan Jawa. Pengukuran 58 dimensi antropometri dilakukan pada 286 mahasiswa laki-laki dan 210 mahasiswa perempuan. Hasil pengukuran disajikan dalam statistik deskriptif dalam rerata, simpang baku, dan nilai persentil. Selain itu, perbandingan antropometri antar jenis kelamin dan suku dilakukan dengan uji t dan uji Mann-Whitney. Hasil perbandingan pada peserta perempuan dan laki-laki untuk masing-masing suku menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan hampir di seluruh dimensi, di mana peserta laki-laki cenderung memiliki dimensi yang lebih besar daripada perempuan (p
