Mohd. Rizal Fahmi Adha, Siti Nurafifah Qarimah — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 09:32:58 +0700

Fine motor skills involve the use of small muscles, such as those in the fingers and wrist, working in coordination with the eyes and hands to achieve specific skills with precision. Delays in fine motor skills, if not addressed, can lead to various consequences such as a lack of interest in learning and creativity. One way to improve children's fine motor skills is through finger painting activities. Finger painting engages the small muscles in the wrist, arms, and fingers, while coordinating with the eyes and brain, thus helping to enhance fine motor development. This study aims to assess the implementation of finger painting activities in improving fine motor skills in preschool children, involving two children in Aceh. This descriptive study uses a case study approach, with data collected through interviews and observations before and after the finger painting activity. The study was conducted over 7 days at a Kindergarten in Aceh. The results showed that finger painting activities were effective in improving fine motor skills. For Subject I, an improvement in fine motor skills was observed after the finger painting activity was implemented. The same result was found for Subject II, with an increase in fine motor skills before and after the activity. It is expected that the implementation of finger painting activities can be applied as a method to enhance fine motor skills in preschool children.

DESIGNING A TRIMARAN FISHING BOAT TO IMPROVE WORK SAFETY FOR TRADITIONAL FISHERMAN IN INDONESIA

I Putu Arta Wibawa — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 10:18:20 +0700

As the second largest nation in capture fisheries in the world after China, Indonesia has a very large fleet of fishing boat. The main problems encountered on fishing vessels in Indonesia are the limited technology on board, and boat safety issues. One type of fishing boat that is common in Indonesia is a boat with “Cadik” or outrigger. The characteristics of an outrigger boat are the presence of a main hull with a length of between 7 meters - 12 meters, with a main hull width ranging from 0.9 meters - 1.2 meters. The shape of the main hull of the boat which tends to be long with a small width has problems in terms of boat stability, namely the boat is easy to roll, especially when fishermen are on one side of the boat to lower the net. To overcome this issue, fishermen generally install outriggers made of bamboo on both sides of the boat to increase the balance or stability of the boat. Based on this problem, a fishing boat was designed that applies the trimaran hull concept, which is the boat with three hulls. The function of the side-hull in addition to increasing the stability of the boat also as a compartment to store fishing gear and other fishing equipment. Meanwhile, the area between the main hull and the side-hull will function as a connecting deck, thus expanding the fishermen's working area and increasing the fishermen's work safety.

ABSTRACT

Learning in modern times has undergone significant development. The learning process is no longer teacher-centered but student-centered. As educators, we must be able to design learning materials that align with the advancing technology. Currently, if learning is only teacher-centered and presented with theoretical explanations, students tend to lose enthusiasm for engaging in the learning process. Therefore, audiovisual media, in the form of educational videos, can support active, meaningful learning and foster high enthusiasm for learning. This research aims to: 1) describe the level of student enthusiasm in learning through audiovisual media, and 2) identify the impact and student interest in audiovisual-based learning media in educational activities. This study was conducted at SDN 22 Banda Aceh. The research type is descriptive qualitative, using data collection techniques such as direct observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results show that learning dominated by lectures tends to cause students to lose attention and become disengaged. The results indicate that: 1) after learning was presented using audiovisual media in the form of educational videos, three out of four students were very happy, enthusiastic, and engaged in the learning process with the help of the educational videos, while only one student showed less interest. 2) It can be concluded that audiovisual learning media is capable of fostering student enthusiasm in elementary school education.

The Relationship Between Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) and Uterine Involution in Postpartum Mothers at PMB Irma Ahmad, Indrajaya District

Zaitun Zaitun, Salamah Salamah — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 10:25:49 +0700

Background The recovery process during the postpartum period is an important aspect for mothers after giving birth, considering the significant physiological and psychological changes. Physiological changes during the postpartum period include changes in the uterus, cervix, vulva and vagina, perineum, as well as the digestive system, urinary system, musculoskeletal system, endocrine system, vital signs, and hematological system. Changes in the uterus during the postpartum period, known as uterine involution, involve the process of returning the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size and shape. Uterine contractions are a crucial element in the uterine involution process; failure of contractions can result in uterine subinvolution or a slowing of the descent of the uterine fundus height (FHH). If subinvolution is not handled properly, this can cause ongoing bleeding to death (Harianto et al., 2018). The main cause of maternal death in Indonesia is bleeding, which reaches 30.3%. The normal uterine involution process can reduce the risk of bleeding, especially postpartum hemorrhage which is one of the direct causes of maternal death. Several factors that influence uterine involution include early maternal mobilization after delivery, breastfeeding, nutritional status, age, parity, postpartum exercise, psychological conditions, and early initiation of breastfeeding. (Maryunani, 2017). This study aims to determine the Relationship between Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) and Uterine Involution in Postpartum Mothers at PMB Irma Ahmad Indrajaya in 2024. This study is analytical with a Cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all Postpartum Mothers at PMB Irma Ahmad, the study was conducted from November. Relationship between Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) and Uterine Involution in Postpartum Mothers at Irma Ahmad Midwifery Practice Indrajaya in 2024 with a ρ value of 0.003. It is hoped that midwives can provide IEC during pregnancy to postpartum and guidance to mothers in labor to increase knowledge about early initiation of breastfeeding because knowledge of early initiation of breastfeeding will increase the implementation of IMD practices
