A production process will not be free of difficulties with faulty goods during its implementation; this is a problem that is a major factor in the production process; if the process still has many problems with product defects, the process has not been adequately regulated. Moving on from the issues raised above, the author did research at UD. Meurah Mulia, a paving stone manufacturer. For the time being, the control process in the manufacturing process is inspection control, which is an inspection that just distinguishes good and faulty goods without improving the process. In this scenario, the authors advise using the Six Sigma approach to eliminate flaws, which is a process control method that can affect decisions connected to product manufacturing, namely the production and insfection functions. The results of the analysis through processing with the Six Sigma method, which goes through five stages, namely define, measure, analyze, improve, and control, show that the current control process is ineffective, as evidenced by the occurrence of numerous defects in the manufacturing of Paving Blocks.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of liquid organic fertilizer obtained from vegetable waste on Chlorella sp. The study was conducted for 20 days at the Microalgae and Fish Nutrition Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Islamic University of Riau, Pekanbaru. The study design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications, consisting of P1 = spinach, P2 = cabbage, P3 = katuk vegetables (Sauropus androgynous) and P = mustard greens. Liquid organic fertilizer at a dose of 2 cc/l was used in each treatment. The results showed that the best abundance of Chlorella sp cells in the treatment using mustard greens was 11,183,333 cells/ml, and the peak was on day 14, while the lowest cell abundance using vegetable waste was 6,166,667 cells/ml. The highest amount of biomass was in P4 (mustard green waste) 0.41 g/L and the lowest was in P3 (mustard green waste) 0.16 g/L.

Placenta previa and placenta accreta are important causes of serious fetal and maternal morbidity and even mortality necessitating hysterectomy. We report a case of total placenta previa with accreta in a 39-year-old female in the 32+2 weeks of pregnancy with successful delivery by cesarean. However, hysterectomy was performed to control postpartum hemorrhage.

This study attempted to examine the effect of perceived demand pressure, ease of service, reputation footprint, and perceived level of excellence on cost-plus financing and the influence of perceived demand pressure, ease of service, reputation footprint, and level of product advantages together against the financing. Thus, this quantitative research involved 371 customers who transacted cost-plus financing. The slovin formula was applied as sampling technique with a total sample of 79. Moreover, the analytical technique employed in this study was starting from the validity test, reliability test, classical assumption test, hypothesis testing with simple regression, and multiple regression with SPSS data processing. Therefore, the findings indicated that the perception of the need urgency for ease of service, the reputation trace, and the perception of the level of product excellence affected the cost-plus financing. Meanwhile, the ease of service and the level of product excellence perceptions impacted cost-plus financing. In contrast, the perception of demand and reputation footprint does not affect the financing.
