Nowadays the problem of correct estimation and measurement of TV- and sound broadcasting programmes loudness is of great importance. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has established a special investigation group, dealing with loudness estimation and normalization, similarly, ITU emphasizes on the importance of objective measurement of audio program loudness to facilitate program delivery and exchange, and to provide more comfortable listening experience for audiences. In Recommendation ITU-R BS.1770-5 the modern algorithm of objective loudness measurement is described in detail. This algorithm includes frequency weighting of the measured audio signal to assume frequency properties of human auditory system, but such weighting concerns only the lower part of sound frequency band. In this article, the authors raise the question of the necessity of taking into account the dependence of sensitivity of the human auditory system on upper frequencies of the sound band. A brief overview of the existing representations of the frequency response of hearing sensitivity when listening to different types of sound signals is provided. Also in the article are discussed the results of subjective assessment of appreciability of changes in loudness of audio content of different types (speech and music) while changing the audio signal’s level on the upper frequencies of sound band.  In one case the level of audio signal was adjusted according to the equal loudness contour corresponding to 60 phones of loudness level, and in another case, according to one of the variants of the averaged psophometric curve. The results of subjective assessment  for these two cases were compared with each other.
For all processed sound fragments, a confidence intervals were calculated based on the indicator of appreciability of changes in loudness, percieved by the listeners, and evaluated the accuracy of the results.
Based on the results obtained from subjective assessment, further ways of conducting of the research are proposed.

The paper shows the expediency of creating a polymer composite material in the form of a cream with fungicidal properties. This will allow you to get a product that will combine several properties - wound-healing and fungicidal. Such properties are very valuable in the treatment of fungal skin infections
Nowadays, there is a rapid spread of various types of mycoses. Mycosis of the skin is no exception. They are mainly caused by pathogenic fungi. At first, there may be small red spots and slight itching locally, if left untreated, mycosis spreads to the entire skin of the body and nails. On the skin, causative agents of mycosis form wounds over time. As a result, the patient loses quality of life. In addition, mycoses can also spread to other organs. Treatment of mycosis of the skin with systemic drugs is an effective method, but it can cause a toxic effect on the patient's body. Therefore, it is important to create local remedies that can be used in the treatment of this disease. Most often, the following forms of local remedies are used for the treatment of mycosis of the skin: creams, ointments, solutions. Cream is the optimal form. The cream is easily applied to the skin, does not run off, does not stain clothes. Also, thanks to its balanced composition, wounds heal. Therefore, a cream was chosen as the basis of a topical agent with a fungicidal effect. In addition to the usual components of the cosmetic cream, urea, panthenol and a fungicidal agent are added to the cream with a fungicidal effect. Urea moisturizes the skin, enhances the fungicidal effect, panthenol has a regenerating effect. Two types of creams with the same base and different fungicidal agents were obtained. In the first, pyrithione zinc was used as an active substance, in the second, a mixture of four QAK. Using the agar diffusion method, it was established that these creams with these active substances have a pronounced fungicidal effect on the main pathogens of mycoses.

Population, consumption and climate colonialism
Authors: Hassan Patrick
Published: December 2024

Strategies for combatting climate change that advocate for human population limitation have recently been understandably criticised on the grounds that they embody a form of ‘climate colonialism’: a moral wrong that involves disproportionately shifting the burdens of climate change onto developing nations (which have low per capita emissions but high fertility rates) in order to offset burdens in affluent nations (which have high per capita emissions but low fertility rates). This article argues that once the relevance of population growth to climate change has been correctly understood as working in tandem with consumption levels, this objection fails as a general criticism. Moreover, even if population could be ignored as a variable, the climate colonialism charge would re-emerge in a different form, since, at present population sizes, it would be environmentally catastrophic for developing nations to reach the production ambitions which see their per capita emissions massively increase. Even if emission reductions in affluent nations are (rightly) prioritised, there are good reasons to prevent enormous growth of emissions in developing countries. Those environmental risks become much greater given developing nations’ projected population increases in the coming century. The article then explores how the necessary radical environmental policies pertaining to fertility rates might be enacted in non-coercive ways, reducing the sting of the ‘climate colonialism’ charge. The article ends by considering some reasons to be moderately sceptical about such policies.
The prevalence and risk factors of apathy among the Canadian long-term care residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
Authors: Agboji Aderonke , Freeman Shannon , Banner Davina , Armstrong Joshua , Martin-Khan Melinda
Published: December 2024

Background

Apathy is a prevalent and debilitating neuropsychiatric symptom among persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, particularly those residing in long-term care facilities (LTCF). Despite its profound effects on the quality of life for both residents and their caregivers, apathy remains underrecognized and poorly understood in the context of dementia care.

Objective

To investigate the prevalence and biopsychosocial characteristics of apathy among newly admitted residents with dementia in Canadian LTCF using an Apathy Index derived from the interRAI Minimum Data Set (MDS) 2.0.

Methods

This cross-sectional study analyzed data from newly admitted residents with dementia from various LTCF (N = 97,789) across seven Canadian provinces between 2015 and 2019. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between apathy and multiple variables including sociodemographic and clinical variables. The biopsychosocial model of health was used to guide analysis.

Results

The prevalence rate of apathy among the Canadian long-term care residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias was 13.1%. Apathy was associated with various variables including male sex, pain, use of psychotropics, high Activity of Daily Living Self-Performance Hierarchy Scale scores, depression, aggression, severe cognitive impairment, and insomnia. Preferences for certain activities such as card games, art and craft, reading, music and exercise were inversely related to apathy while gardening was not.

Conclusions

By shedding light on this complex phenomenon within a Canadian context, we recommend that targeted interventions and improved care strategies to enhance the well-being of persons living with dementia should be prioritized in LTCF.

Therapeutic mechanisms of glucocorticoids, their administration and chronotherapy
Authors: Babaoğlu Hakan , Karadağ Ömer
Published: December 2024

Glucocorticoids represent a cornerstone in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases due to their potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. These steroid hormones, including endogenous cortisol and synthetic analogs like prednisone and dexamethasone, exert their effects through genomic and non-genomic pathways, targeting key inflammatory mediators. While genomic mechanisms regulate long-term gene expression, non-genomic pathways enable rapid modulation of immune responses, particularly at high doses. Despite their therapeutic efficacy, glucocorticoid use is often limited by significant adverse effects, including osteoporosis and metabolic disorders. Chronotherapy, which aligns medication timing with circadian rhythms, enhances therapeutic outcomes while reducing side effects, particularly in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis where inflammation peaks in the early morning. Emerging innovations, such as selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists (SEGRAs) and liposomal drug delivery systems, offer targeted anti-inflammatory effects with reduced systemic toxicity. These advancements highlight the potential for optimizing glucocorticoid therapy to achieve maximum efficacy while mitigating adverse effects. This review underscores the importance of understanding glucocorticoid mechanisms, administration methods, and novel therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Understanding of urban sprawl analysis at the regional scale is of utmost importance in a wide range of application such as land-use planning and land management. Thus, in this study different prospects of time in a decadal manner such as 1988, 1998, 2008 and 2018 along with Landsat 5 and 8 images have been used. Prior to use, image enhancement procedures, for example, histogram equalisation, radiometric correction are done keeping in mind the end goal to enhance the perceivability and interpretability of the images. Thus, the images are being put as subset and classified into 5 land-use and land cover classes. Furthermore, Shannon Heterogeneity Diversity Indices (SHDI) and Landscape Shape Indices (LSI) in like manner helps in understanding the example and checke the arranged and impromptu nature of the examination region. Thus, the study area is been characterised by a large increase in the built-up land on the southern side as compared to the remaining sides.

Published: December 2024

Objective: to analize how freeze-dried amniotic membrane and human amniotic stem cell seeding affect TGF B and type III collagen expression in suturing a New Zealand rabbit vesicovaginal fistula model.
Metode: This experimental study employed New Zealand rabbits and a vesicovaginal fistula model with a post-test only control group design. The rabbits were divided into 3 groups: vesicovaginal fistula suturing alone, suturing with freeze-dried amniotic membrane, and suturing with freeze-dried amnion-seeded stem cells. After 7 days of treatment, specimens near the repaired vesicovaginal fistula were collected for immunohistochemical analysis of TGF B and collagen type III expression.
Result: TGF B expression was significantly higher in the freeze-dried amniotic membrane with stem cell seeding group (p=0.001) compared to the freeze-dried amniotic membrane without stem cell seeding group (p=0.017) and the suturing-only group (p=0.049). Additionally, type III collagen expression was significantly elevated in the freeze-dried amnion membrane and stem cell seeding group (p=0.001) compared to the freeze-dried amnion group without stem cell seeding (p=0.09) and the suturing-only group (p=0.026).
Conclusion: The expression of TGF B and type III collagen was higher in rabbits with vesicovaginal fistulas treated using freeze-dried amnion and amniotic stem cell seeding compared to those without amniotic stem cell seeding and vesicovaginal fistula suturing alone.

ВПЛИВ БІОСУГЕСТИВНОЇ ТЕРАПІЇ НА ЗНИЖЕННЯ СИМПТОМІВ ТРИВОЖНИХ РОЗЛАДІВ
Authors: Чорна Н. В.
Published: December 2024

У статті проаналізовано вплив біосугестивної терапії на симптоми тривожних розладів. Розглянуто, що тривожні розлади є серйозними психопатологічними станами, які значно погіршують якість життя і викликають глибоке страждання у тих, хто їх переживає. Важливо визначено, що діагностика цих розладів ускладнена їх симптоматичною подібністю до інших психічних та соматичних захворювань. З’ясовно, що тривога, хоч і є фундаментальною емоцією, при патологічному підвищенні може перерости в серйозний психічний розлад. Обгрунтовано, що без адекватної діагностики та лікування, тривожні розлади можуть призвести до істотного зниження інтелектуальної та фізичної працездатності, а також сприяти розвитку серйозних депресивних станів і навіть серцево-судинних та нейродегенеративних захворювань. Детально розглянуто класифікацію тривожних розладів на первинні, що мають генетичну основу, і вторинні, які асоційовані зі стресами чи хронічними захворюваннями. Продемонстровано специфіку симптомів тривожності, які залежать від підтипу розладу. Особливу увагу приділено біосугестивній терапії як інноваційному методу лікування, що інтегрує вербальне та невербальне навіювання в стані легкого трансу. Підкреслено, що біосугестивна терапія дозволяє трансформувати негативні психологічні шаблони у позитивні, забезпечуючи покращення самопочуття і відновлення психологічної рівноваги пацієнтів. Зазначено, що метод є високоефективним, з реакцією близько 92–95% пацієнтів, що позитивно відгукуються на лікування, і може застосовуватися як в індивідуальних, так і в групових форматах. Сформовано висновки, що БСТ може використовуватися як допоміжний або альтернативний метод у комплексному лікуванні тривожних розладів, її інтегративний підхід сприяє об’єднанню різних психотерапевтичних технік для досягнення максимального ефекту лікування.

Published: December 2024

В статті здійснено аналіз психологічних особливостей вступу молоді у цивільний шлюб, проаналізовано теоретичну базу та проведено емпіричне дослідження. Зроблено висновок, що вибір молодими людьми форми шлюбу (неформальний або офіційний) пов’язаний з впливом різних факторів: а) соціальних, які включають економічні фактори, що діють на рівні суспільства такі як: лібералізація громадської думки, тривалий період навчання та кар’єри зростання, економічна нестабільність в країні, заборона або труднощі розлучення, економічна незалежність жінки, технічний прогрес, місце проживання, освіта та ін.; б) соціально-психологічні, які обумовлені зміною статевої моралі, дозволеністю дошлюбних статевих стосунків; домінування подружніх цінностей над цінностями батьківства та спорідненості, орієнтація на позасімейні цінності. Встанволено, що неформальні молодіжні об’єднання неоднорідні і різноманітні залежно від мотивів вступу в дошлюбну спільність і функцій, які здійснюють спеціальні «експериментальні» спілки; неофіційні шлюби молодих людей менш тривалі, швидше розпадаються і частіше, ніж офіційні. В результаті проведеного емпіричного дослідження психологічних портретів партнерів в молодіжному офіційному/ неофіційному шлюбі, особливості конфліктів у офіційний/неофіційний шлюб, встановлено: 1) партнери, які перебувають у неофіційних взаєминах спільного проживання характеризуються не високим рівнем відданості; при цьому самоспрямованість, демонстративність і всемогутність тенденція значно більша для подружжя, яке перебуває в офіційному шлюбі; 2) чоловіки, які перебувають у неофіційному шлюбі, характеризуюся досить консервативними поглядами, будучи вельми обережними у своїх діях і прийняті рішення, щодо вступу в шлюб лише із партнером перевіреним часом; жінки, які перебувають у відносинах спільного проживання, проявляють риси певної радикальності, готовності до експериментів, відкритості та лояльності до побутових незручностей та шляхів вираження свого партнера, натомість партнери в офіційному шлюбі мають високу самооцінку, значно вище ніж жінки, при неофіційному шлюбі – чоловіки, ці чоловіки мають певний рівень агресії він також значно вищий порівняно з чоловіками, які в офіційному шлюбі.
Dare parole al dolore: il processo di simbolizzazione dell'assenza
Authors: Greco Ondina
Published: December 2024

In seguito alla morte di una persona significativa, quando il soggetto è chiamato a ricono-scere dolorosamente la perdita del legame con la persona assente, la terapia può creare uno spazio transizionale in cui è possibile facilitare il processo di trasformazione di tale legame, attraverso l'attivazione della capacità simbolica, che rende possibile conservare qualcosa di ciò che è stato perduto e orientarsi verso un nuovo e più soddisfacente adattamento futuro. Gli esempi clinici mostrano le diverse forme simboliche che il processo di simbolizzazione può creare.
Relazioni terminabili e interminabili: separazioni sospese e oggetti preziosi
Authors: Di Luzio Giancarlo
Published: December 2024

Nel lavoro vengono descritti i casi di quattro pazienti, tuttora in analisi, in cui la rottura del-le relazioni affettive ha prodotto "separazioni sospese". L'ipotesi avanzata è che il fenomeno della sospensione "sine fine" sia sostenuta da uno o piu` "oggetti interni" oppure "oggetti-Sé", preziosi ed imperdibili in quanto idealizzati, così "preziosi" da non poter essere persi qualora l'evento separativo avvenisse. L'analisi ha rilevato che i soggetti dei casi avevano, nella fanta-sia inconscia, una perdurante esperienza relazionale con un "oggetto interno" idealizzato oppu-re con un "oggetto-Sé gemellare" all'interno di una coppia idealizzata "gemellare".

Published: December 2024

Il presente contributo intende presentare lo stato dell'arte e le specificità del processo di innovazione in atto presso l'AUSL di Piacenza alla luce della Missione 6 del PNRR e del DM 77. L'obiettivo è quello di evidenziare quale sia il punto di partenza della sanità piacentina anche alla luce della recente pandemia ma soprattutto quali siano i contenuti di responsabilità e gli strumenti implementati sul territorio. In tal senso vengono analizzate anche le variabili critiche complesse che rappresentano una delle dimensioni di governo del territorio come per esempio la responsabilizzazione dei Medici di Medicina Generale, il loro coinvolgimento nelle nuove Case della Comunità (anche alla luce dell'esperienza delle preesistenti Case della Salute). In conclusione si intende approfondire la visione aziendale in vista del 2030 e quindi quale sia il "sogno" per una sanità sempre più orientata verso un approccio ONE Health.
Intersectional Inquiry, on the Ground and in the Algorithm
Authors: Robertson Shanthi , Magee Liam , Soldatić Karen
Published: December 2024

This article makes two key contributions to methodological debates in automation research. First, we argue for and demonstrate how methods in this field must account for intersections of social difference, such as race, class, ethnicity, culture, and disability, in more nuanced ways. Second, we consider the complexities of bringing together computational and qualitative methods in an intersectional methodological approach while also arguing that in their respective subjects (machines and human subjects) and conceptual scope they enable a specific dialogue on intersectionality and automation to be articulated. We draw on field reflections from a project that combines an analysis of intersectional bias in language models with findings from a community workshop on the frustrations and aspirations produced through engagement with everyday artificial intelligence (AI)–driven technologies in the context of care.

Indigenous LGBTIQSB + People’s Experiences of Family Violence in Australia
Authors: Soldatić Karen , Sullivan Corrinne T. , Briskman Linda , Leha John , Trewlynn William , Spurway Kim
Published: December 2024

Purpose

This article uses an Indigenous concept of family violence as a frame to interrogate interviews held with Indigenous LGBTIQSB + people in Australia. The article reorients family violence away from Western heteronormative framings and aims to contribute towards a new conversation about family violence.

Methods

A qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyse 16 interviews with Indigenous LGBTIQSB + people in the state of New South Wales, Australia. This is one of a series of articles that provide preliminary findings from a research project into the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous LGBTIQSB + young people living in New South Wales.

Results

The interviews highlight the complex impact family violence on Indigenous LGBTIQSB + youth. The article shows differences in reactions between family and community in urban settings with those experienced in rural settings highlighting intergenerational differences, with older family members such as grandparents, more likely to exhibit negative reactions and behaviours. These experiences are interconnected as many young people were living in urban areas while extended family often lived in rural or remote communities.

Conclusions

The findings of this study demonstrate the intersectional nature of family violence highlighting the fact that Indigenous LGBTIQSB + young people are integral parts of extended kinship networks, families and communities and are deeply impacted by any acts of family violence. The study’s findings also support current research into family and community violence for LGBTIQ + people that shows the differential behaviours and actions of rural and urban families as well as the different reactions between generations within families.
Social Exclusion/Inclusion and Australian First Nations LGBTIQ+ Young People’s Wellbeing

Published: December 2024

There is little known about the social, cultural and emotional wellbeing (SCEWB) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTIQ+ young people in Australia. What research exists does not disaggregate young people’s experiences from those of their adult Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTIQ+ peers. The research that forms the basis for this article is one of the first conducted in Australia on this topic. The article uses information from in-depth interviews to inform concepts of social inclusion and exclusion for this population group. The interviews demonstrate the different ways in which social inclusion/exclusion practices, patterns and process within First Nations communities and non-Indigenous LGBTIQ+ communities impact on the SCEWB of these young people. The research demonstrates the importance of acceptance and support from families in particular the centrality of mothers to young people feeling accepted, safe and able to successfully overcome challenges to SCEWB. Non-Indigenous urban LGBTIQ+ communities are at times seen as a “second family” for young people, however, structural racism within these communities is also seen as a problem for young people’s inclusion. This article contributes significant new evidence on the impact of inclusion/exclusion on the SCEWB of Australian First Nations LGBTIQ+ youth.

Ageing family caregivers of family members with disability must navigate complex social care systems within a single household for long-term and end-of-life transitions. This is particularly challenging for migrants from culturally and racially marginalised (CaRM) backgrounds, given their historical exclusion from developing disability and aged care support systems. Limited research exists on the lived experiences of new and second-generation CaRM communities providing informal care to family members with disabilities, globally and in Australia. This paper highlights the challenges faced by CaRM families navigating racial, ethnic, and immigration politics while seeking access to appropriate disability and ageing social care supports. The findings reveal that Many CaRM families face isolation and difficulty accessing needed support due to misconceptions about their strong local networks. Moreover, the significance of place, especially in low-resource urban areas, poses challenges for ageing family primary caregivers managing a dual long-term care arrangement, leading to uncertainties about their future.

Points of interest

Families in culturally and racially marginalised (CaRM) communities experience significant difficulties in seeking help for disability care changes (or transitions) when primary caregivers are ageing;

Disability and ageing support systems in Australia often wrongly assume that CaRM families have strong support networks that help to access formal care and support;

Parents need long term support for their adult child with a disability, but want to avoid giving their other adult children without disability care responsibilities after their own death;

Many families feel isolated and alone because of language barriers, and cultural exclusion. This makes it very difficult to seek the right care and support for both the ageing carers and family members with disability;

Many factors affect immigrant ageing family caregivers in seeking suitable care transition options for family members with disability. These include property ownership, caregiver age, personal health, partner support, and other adult children in the family;

Therefore, families need different social care systems to plan support changes (a) short term for the ageing family caregiver, and (b) long-term for the family member with disability, into end-of-life stages.

This paper summarises the achievements of the Dalarinji (in Dharug, ‘Your Story’) research project. The aim of the project was to understand the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ peoples (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer, sistagirl, brothaboy) living in the place now known as New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The project was codesigned and co-led by our project partners, BlaQ Aboriginal Corporation and the Aboriginal Project at ACON. Over the course of the project, we conducted interviews, workshops, and an online survey to collect Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ peoples’ needs, experiences and aspirations from across NSW. This article synthesises the available literature on Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ people at the start of the project in 2019 and tracks the progress of the field and the project outputs since then. Using information from each of the project’s publications, this article summarises the project’s findings in relationship to debates about human rights; identity, belonging and connectedness; viable alternative futures and service provision. The article concludes with a commentary on work in the field and some suggestions regarding the way forward.

Published: December 2024

This book was created as part of the ADDEPT - Autonomy, Diversity & Disability: Everyday Practices of Technology funded by ARC Linkage Project LP190100099. The digital narratives were co-created with participants across a set of online and face-to-face workshops in addition to focus groups and follow-up one-to-one interviews. Each of the participants worked with the project team to examine, explore and create these digital accessible books of their personal experiences with everyday technologies to share the impact of such technologies upon their daily lives. Over a period of two years, research participants were able to critically engage with AI technologies and create these books to publicly disseminate their diverse experiences with the aim of enabling others to learn from their personal experiences. The stories are developed from the narratives of the participants, using AI technologies such as Mid Journey to generate illustrations and Chat GPT to develop the alternative text that describes the illustrations.

Moving the Boundaries of Feminist Social Work Education with Disabled People in the Neoliberal Era
Authors: Soldatić Karen , Meekosha Helen
Published: December 2024

Until recently social work education in Australia has either marginalised or neglected disability by omission. Given the increasing number of disabled people in the community, the teaching of social work within a disability studies emancipatory paradigm as an essential part of the curriculum is long overdue. As many social work educators have suggested, we are at a critical moment in Australia, where the policy environment in which social work is embedded has largely been reframed in line with neoliberal trends. For disabled people, this has meant an ongoing state campaign to diminish disability entitlements, from decreasing disability social security regimes through to the rationalisation of adult disability support and care schemes. Social workers are negotiating the competing demands of these policy constraints alongside the needs of the disabled people they work with. New moral dilemmas have emerged where they are actively faced with the question of ‘who to serve?’.

Poultry litter is an important source of soil nutrients that supports beneficial soil bacteria by serving as a substrate, however, its excessive have adverse effects that lead to soil pollution, contamination and acidification of soil and groundwater. This study analyzed the effects of poultry litter on soil physico-chemical properties for crop production in Kauru Local Government Area, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Data on soil properties at the control and poultry littered sites were collected by sampling four farmlands in Barwa, Ungwan Noma, Kurmin-Shado and Dan-Daura and analyzed in the laboratory. Results were subjected to ANOVA and Correlation analyses tools. The findings revealed significant changes in soil physico-chemical properties due to excessive poultry litter application. Compared to the control site, treated soil showed increased pH (6.26 to 6.89), decreased organic carbon (4.29 to 3.63), increased organic matter (5.92 to 6.99), increased total nitrogen (0.49 to 0.58), altered particle size distribution (clay, silt, sand), reduced aggregate, stability (0.818 to 0.715) and increased CO2 (64.8 to 65.88%). Also, Correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between poultry litter application and soil physico-chemical properties (Sig. value >0.05), indicating that poultry manure significantly alters soil parameters. The study concludes that while some of the soil properties identified were within safe limits, application of poultry manure altered other properties of the soil. Thus, the study recommends that farmers should use poultry litter in conjunction with other fertilizers and soil amendments to balance nutrient inputs.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to identify and manage risks in Company X’s instant noodle production process using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) methods. FMEA is used to analyze potential failure modes, while EPQ optimizes production quantities to minimize storage and overproduction costs. The research identifies key risks such as overproduction, machinery failures, and packaging defects. Data collected includes production volumes, raw material usage, and defect rates. FMEA reveals that overproduction is the primary risk, leading to high storage costs. EPQ calculations are performed to determine the optimal monthly production for three instant noodle variants, resulting in significant cost savings. The study concludes that implementing EPQ alongside FMEA minimizes risks and reduces inventory management costs, highlighting the importance of systematic risk management in production optimization. This approach helps Company X enhance efficiency while cutting purchasing and costs expenses by Rp. 3,900,000.00 per month.
