This research investigated the translation strategies used to translate Indonesian food menus into English at 5-star hotel restaurants in Bali. It also explored the use of cultural-specific items (CSIs) in these translations. The study employed a qualitative research method, gathering data from the official websites of six different 5-star restaurants in Bali. The primary theoretical framework was Beekman and Callow's "Lexical Equivalence When Things or Events Are Unknown in the Receptor Language" (1974). Additionally, Tang Yingmin's (1981) theory on Cultural-Specific Items (CSIs) was applied to identify and categorize the types of CSIs found in the translations. The findings indicated that the most frequently used translation approach was Equivalence by Modifying a Generic Word, followed by Equivalence by Cultural Substitution and Equivalence by Using a Loan Word. Among the CSIs, ingredients were the most commonly represented category, accounting for 35% of the total. Furthermore, the data revealed that translators not only translated the names of main dishes but also provided additional details about side dishes.

This research aims to find out EFL tertiary students’ challenges and strategies in learning news anchoring in speaking class. Data were collected through two instruments including test and questionnaire with 24 participants taken as sample through purposive sampling technique. Test was used as instrument to categorize the sample into 8 high achievers, 8 middle achievers, and 8 low achievers. The research was a kind of descriptive research using Walizer’s (1990) formula to analyze the five-likert scaled questionnaire and the data were interpreted using descriptive quantitative method of analysis. The findings of the research revealed that the EFL tertiary students faced four challenges in learning news anchoring such as challenges in pronouncing some technical terms, challenges in speaking fast like a news anchor, challenges in memorizing the news script, and challenges in delivering news with news anchor-like intonation. Furthermore, the findings of the research also found six strategies mostly used by the students in learning news anchoring such as practising frequently alone at home, watching the news anchor video shared by the lecturer in the class, imitating the lecturer’s example of performing news anchor in the class, learning from lecturer’s explanation, watching news anchor on television and watching news anchor video on Youtube. Since high achievers were found to use more than one strategy in learning news anchoring, the present research recommended the students to use more than one strategy to succeed in learning to be news anchor in speaking class.

This research aims to relationship the anthropometric, biomotor, and psychomotor factors with disabled athlete's swimming speed in the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) (Indonesian) 100-meter freestyle competition in 2022. This research was a cross-sectional study conducted by the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) (Indonesia). The sample used in this research was 15 disabled athletes from NPC Indonesia with the S7-S10 classification who got medals at the ASEAN Para Games event in 2022. The data collection includes seven independent variable tests there are anthropometric factors (height, weight, body mass index, arm length, and leg length); biomotor factors (abdominal muscle strength and arm muscle power); psychomotor factors by measuring balance using Balance Tests; and dependent variables by measuring swimming speed using the 100-meter freestyle swimming ability test. Statistical analysis used the Pearson correlation coefficient test with a significance level of 5%. The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient analysis show that swimming speed was negatively related to body height, body weight, arm length, abdominal muscle strength, and arm muscle power indicating a moderate correlation between variables (p ≤ 0.001). However, unfortunately, other anthropometric variables such as leg length and age showed a weak negative correlation with swimming speed (p ≤ 0.05). Meanwhile, body mass index and balance did not show a significant correlation with swimming speed (p ≥ 0.05). Based on the research results, it was concluded that anthropometric and biomotor factors showed a negative relationship with swimming speed, while psychomotor factors did not. Keyword: Anthropometry, biomotor, psychomotor, disabled athletes, swimming speed, achievement.

Data on work accidents in the construction industry in Indonesia is still relatively high, so the government issued a Construction Safety Management System (CSMS) regulation in 2021. However, many middle to lower-class contractors still need help compiling it. Contractors still use job safety analysis as a substitute for the Construction Safety Plan (CSP) with minimal analysis. Therefore, it is necessary to research the preparation of CSP, which is integrated with the project technique method. The research method used is to describe CSP implementation in selected project cases. The study results show that contractors already have good resources and commitment to carrying out CSP but have limitations in understanding the techniques for preparing CSP documents accompanied by sound risk management analysis.

Highlight: • Meningitis is an infectious disease of the brain membranes and spinal cord. • Bacterial meningitis is a severe infection with high mortality and morbidity rates and can be one of the causes of fever in postpartum patients. • The most common pathogen that can cause bacterial meningitis is Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS), which causes most of the cases. ABSTRACT Introduction: Meningitis is an infectious disease of the brain membranes and spinal cord. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, or aseptic actions can all cause meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is a severe infection with high mortality and morbidity rates that can induce fever in postpartum patients. The incidence of invasive Streptococcus agalactiae Group B (SGB) in pregnant women reached 31.58%; the older the pregnant woman, the greater the risk of invasive SGB. Case: The patient came to the emergency room with unconsciousness, fever, and shortness of breath. The patient presented with Ronchi +, neck stiffness +, and GCS E1M1V1. A chest X-ray found cardiomegaly as well as pulmonary edema. A full blood count indicated leukocytosis, increased neutrophils, elevated SGOT and SGPT levels, and lymphocytopenia. The patient was then given antipyretics, anticonvulsants, neurotonics, neurotrophics, diuretics, antihypertensives, and antianginals. Conclusion: In this study, it can be determined whether infection during pregnancy or labor can cause postpartum meningitis. The most common pathogen that can cause bacterial meningitis is Streptococcus agalactiae Group B (SGB), which causes most cases. Early diagnosis of postpartum meningitis is important in order to begin as soon as possible and achieve the best results for the patient's recovery.

This study proposes a decision support method using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, which is expected to help decision-making in solving problems for selecting Covid-19 social aid recipients in the RT.07 RW.10 Kp. Sukapura Jaya community. The purpose of the study is to select residents who are recorded to receive social aid who are more in need first will get Covid-19 social aid.

Linear assumption on the level of stiffness in a tissue shows a significant correlation with disease. Photoacoustic imaging techniques that are non-contact by design have been developed in this study to detect differences in phantom (soft tissue mimicking materials) stiffness. This study aims to detect differences in phantom stiffness based on the results of image reconstruction at the resonance frequency. Four phantom agars with differing concentrations were made to achieve different stiffnesses. The position of each phantom agar’s highest photoacoustic signal amplitude is identified by a frequency modulation sweep. The characterization results show an increase in resonance frequency along with an increase in phantom stiffness. The image difference can be detected because the intensity of the photoacoustic image in samples that have a resonance frequency with laser modulation is comparatively higher than in other samples.

Candida albicans can cause two infections in humans: superficial and systemic. The ability of C. albicans to infect the host is influenced by virulence factors and character changes so that it can fool the immune system. From the character change factor, C. albicans can form a biofilm. This study aims to determine the good concentration in inhibiting and determine the antifungal and antibiofilm activity of nanoemulsion mouthwash formulation of bajakah tampala (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk) skin extract against C. albicans. This research was conducted with an experimental method. The formulation used a spontaneous magnetic stirrer technique to make nanoemulsion preparations. Antifungal and antibiofilm tests were carried out by dilution method using a 96-well plate and a microplate reader with a wavelength of 620 nm to determine the percentage inhibition against C. albicans and determine MIC50 and MBIC50. The results showed that the nanoemulsion mouthwash formulation of S. littoralis inhibited the planktonic and biofilm of C. albicans. The concentration of 0.5% is expressed as MIC50 and 1% as MBIC50. Therefore, the nanoemulsion formulation of S. littoralis extract could inhibit the growth of C. albicans in the oral cavity.

The central role of the Citarum River as a buffer to meet the needs of agricultural irrigation, industrial activities, and raw water in the six surrounding districts, including 80% of the population of Jakarta, has experienced a decline in conditions from up-downstream. That way, a lot of data is available regarding the adaptation of floods, drought, and other water source functions for an integrated concept for Citarum. The focus of the study is in the Central Citarum Zone by using 5 and 10 years of rainfall intensity (time series), actualizing the runoff coefficient, Intensity Duration Frequency (IDF) modeling to the formulation of the peak runoff discharge. This achievement is realized by applying Gumbel's Method and Mononobe's Equation and optimizing the 2D HEC-RAS software. Experimental data from 2010 to 2019 indicated that November was the highest rainfall of 448.07 mm/hour, while the lowest was in July with a value of 52.50 mm/hour. The simulation results show an increase in flow rate up to 11%, which means it affects the river's capacity to accommodate the overflow load. Furthermore, this simulation is equipped with a map of the flood-affected areas with a peak discharge scenario in November.
