Development Of Regional Infrastructure With A Geographic Information System (GIS) Approach For National Food Security

2025-10-03T08:45:25+00:00

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play an important role in regional infrastructure, including Spatial Data Management, Spatial Analysis, Infrastructure Mapping, Supervision and Monitoring, Infrastructure Planning, Risk Reduction, and Efficiency Improvement. The existence of adequate infrastructure in a region has a positive and significant relationship with the food security of that region. The mechanism of this positive relationship can take the form of: increasing accessibility and productivity; improving distribution networks and availability; developing added value from each production output and supporting the independence of communities or regions. The enormous role of GIS in Regional Infrastructure Development is also considered essential in supporting the food security of a region at the national level. The advantage of GIS is its ability to analyze and display data in a spatial context (Geographic Coordinate System), so that it can determine things such as location, conditions, trends, patterns, and modeling. This enables interactive and rapid simulation and spatial analysis of a region.

Self-Esteem and Social Comparison as a Predictor of Body Image in Adolescent Girls

2025-09-25T04:52:51+00:00

Body image concerns represent a significant mental health challenge among contemporary adolescent populations, particularly for girls navigating developmental transitions and sociocultural pressures related to physical appearance. The increasing prevalence of body dissatisfaction among youth has been associated with various psychological difficulties, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and diminished self-esteem, underscoring the urgency of understanding the factors that shape body image perceptions during this critical developmental period. This study aims to determine the extent to which self-esteem and social comparison can predict body image in adolescent girls. This research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational design. The subjects consisted of 100 female adolescents aged 16–21 years, located in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, namely the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Iowa–Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM), and the Positive Body Image Adolescent Scale (PBIAS), all of which were adapted into Indonesian. Reliability testing used Cronbach’s Alpha, producing reliability coefficient values of 0.875, 0.857, and 0.950, respectively. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS version 26. The results showed that the hypothesis was accepted, with R = 0.642, R² = 0.412, and a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05). Therefore, self-esteem and social comparison have a positive and significant effect on body image in adolescent girls. This indicates that self-esteem and social comparison can predict body image in teenage girls by 41.2%, while other factors account for the remaining 58.8%.

The independent variables in this study are job insecurity (X1) and work environment (X2), the mediating variable is job satisfaction (Z), and the dependent variable is employee performance (Y). The results of the study show that job insecurity negatively and significantly affects job satisfaction and performance. On the other hand, the work environment positively and significantly affects job satisfaction and performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction was found to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The analysis of indirect effects indicates that job satisfaction significantly mediates the effect of job insecurity and work environment on performance. Thus, companies need to pay attention to psychological factors, particularly in reducing job insecurity and creating a conducive work environment to improve job satisfaction and ultimately lead to better employee performance.

Strategy Development Augmented Reality: Integrasi Concept Stimuli Organism Respon, Open Innovation, and Organizational Performance

2025-06-11T05:27:59+00:00

The development of digital technology has encouraged the adoption of Augmented Reality (AR) as a strategic innovation in various industries, but its application in Indonesia remains limited due to low awareness and a lack of an integrated innovation strategy. This research aims to develop a strategy to strengthen AR technology through the integration of the Stimuli-Organism-Response (SOR) model, the concept of Open Innovation (OI), and Organizational Performance (OP), with a case study on PT. X in the city of Bandung. A mixed methods approach was applied, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis using the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) method to determine the priority of the strategy, as well as Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the relationships between variables. The results showed that stimuli in the form of interactivity, augmentation, and AR aesthetics had a significant influence on internal organizational factors (organisms) and subsequently affected user behavioral responses, including reuse intentions. Meanwhile, open innovation plays an important role in strengthening organizational competitiveness through external collaboration, with inbound innovation being the most dominant factor. The research also resulted in three main strategies: improving interactive features and user experience, developing high-quality visual content, and strengthening collaborative networks through open innovation. The integration of SOR, OI, and OP models has proven effective in shaping a holistic, data-driven AR development strategy. The conclusion states that this approach can increase the adoption of digital technology and make a real contribution to organizational performance and digital economic growth in Indonesia.

Majejaitan Activity and High Serum BDNF Levels as Protective Factors Against Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly

2025-09-24T03:46:58+00:00

The aging process in the elderly affects not only physical capabilities but also cognitive function. Cognitive impairment in older adults is thought to be associated with physical activity and neurotrophic factors, particularly the serum level of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Majejaitan—a traditional form of activity involving fine motor coordination and repetitive hand movements—is hypothesized to exert a protective effect against cognitive impairment by increasing serum BDNF levels. This study aimed to examine the role of Majejaitan activity and elevated serum BDNF levels as potential protective factors against cognitive impairment in elderly individuals. An observational case-control study was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 at the East Denpasar 1 Primary Health Care Center. The participants were women aged 50–60 years, divided equally into two groups: a case group (with cognitive impairment) and a control group (without cognitive impairment), each consisting of 19 participants. Cognitive impairment was assessed using the Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-Ina), with scores below 26 indicating impairment. Majejaitan activity was defined as performing the activity at least three times per week for 30–60 minutes, and participants were classified as either active or inactive. Serum BDNF levels were measured using a sandwich-type ELISA with the Human BDNF ELISA Kit (BT LAB) and were categorized as high or not high based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

Risk Analysis Based on Failure Mode And Effect Analysis (FMEA) in the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System On Toll Road Projects (Case Study: Toll Road Cikupa, STA 32+100 – 36+300)

2025-07-18T10:11:45+00:00

Toll roads play a crucial role in supporting national economic mobility and growth. Quality risks such as grain leakage, crocodile skin cracks, curls, grooves, removal of asphalt layers, and collapses frequently occur on the Tangerang-Merak Toll Road, specifically in the Balaraja-Cikupa section. This study aims to integrate the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method with the ISO 9001:2015 standard to enhance risk management within the quality management system of toll road projects. It also evaluates the model’s effectiveness in reducing potential failures, improving quality, and aiding decision-making. The study focuses on selected clauses from the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, including planning and controlling operations, product and service requirements, control of externally provisioned processes, and involvement of production and service providers. The Risk Priority Number (RPN) is used to analyze potential failure modes, measured by severity, occurrence, and detection. At the study site, the highest RPN value was 294, linked to an asphalt mixture that was insufficiently liquid. The failure modes most strongly related to quality degradation were cracks and deformations undetected during initial inspections (X2-9), with a correlation of 0.922 and a significance value of 0.000. The combined effect of all free variables (X1, X2, X3, X4) on the decrease in work quality at the site (Y) accounted for 70.7%. This integration of FMEA and ISO 9001:2015 provides a valuable framework for improving risk management and quality assurance in toll road projects.

2025-06-03T10:25:42+00:00

The menstrual cycle is the time between the beginning of menstruation in the previous period and the onset of the next period. One of the factors that affect the menstrual cycle is nutritional intake and nutritional status. This study aims to determine the importance of nutritional intake and nutritional status on the menstrual cycle in adolescents. This article uses a selection method based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) diagram, in accordance with the inclusion criteria and predetermined keywords, and identified 10 articles to be analyzed. Based on the 10 articles analyzed, it was found that most show the importance of nutritional intake and nutritional status in affecting the regularity of the menstrual cycle. Several articles also demonstrate a relationship between both micro and macro nutritional intake and nutritional status on the menstrual cycle in adolescent girls. Nutritional intake and nutritional status play an important role in the regularity of adolescent menstrual cycles. These findings have important implications for public health policy, suggesting the need for comprehensive nutritional education programs targeting adolescent girls, healthcare providers, and educators. The evidence supports the development of school-based nutrition interventions and clinical guidelines for managing menstrual irregularities through nutritional approaches. Moreover, there is a clear relationship between nutritional intake and nutritional status and the menstrual cycle.

Probiotics and Vitamin D for Gastrointestinal Damage in Burn Injury

2025-10-04T16:43:24+00:00

Curling’s ulcer, a stress-induced gastrointestinal injury, commonly occurs in patients with major burns due to ischemia and mucosal necrosis. Complications may include perforation, hemorrhagic shock, and death. While standard treatments involve PPIs, sucralfate, and early enteral feeding, probiotics may help restore gut microbiota, and vitamin D can reduce inflammation and dysbiosis. However, studies on their combined efficacy remain limited, particularly in Indonesia. This research aims to evaluate whether oral probiotics and vitamin D reduce TNF-α levels and gastrointestinal damage in Wistar rats with major burns. The study employed an experimental design using 32 Wistar rats with 25% TBSA burns. Subjects were divided into four groups: control (K), probiotics only (P1), vitamin D only (P2), and probiotics + vitamin D (P3). Interventions were administered for two weeks. Measured parameters included blood and tissue TNF-α levels, as well as gastric and intestinal histopathology. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results showed that group P3 had the lowest tissue TNF-α levels (136.11 ± 50.14; p = 0.046) and intestinal mucosal thickness (914.54 ± 170.08; p = 0.007). Indicators of gastric damage—macrophage count, necrosis, and bleeding—were significantly reduced in the treatment groups (p = 0.000). No significant difference was observed in villi width (p = 0.974). Combined oral probiotics and vitamin D significantly reduced tissue TNF-α levels and gastrointestinal damage, with better outcomes than single-agent treatments. This combination therapy shows potential as an adjunctive approach for gastrointestinal protection in major burns.

The Role of Macroeconomics and Financial Performance in Shaping Stock Returns: Evidence From the Coal Industry on the Indonesia Stock Exchange

2025-09-25T03:40:44+00:00

This study investigates the influence of macroeconomic variables and financial performance on stock returns in Indonesia’s coal industry over the period Q1 2015 to Q4 2024. Amid global uncertainty and the prolonged energy transition, coal remains a critical contributor to Indonesia’s economy and capital market. However, the sector faces increasing volatility and policy risk. Through panel data regression analysis, this study evaluates the effects of inflation, exchange rate, and coal price as macroeconomic indicators, along with financial performance variables including Gross Profit Margin (GPM), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Price to Book Value (PBV), and Price to Earnings Growth (PEG) on stock returns. The findings reveal that coal prices and financial performance indicators such as ROA, ROE, and PBV have a significant positive effect on stock returns, while inflation and exchange rate demonstrate mixed or insignificant impacts. The research confirms that strong internal performance and favorable external commodity conditions are key drivers of investor interest and stock valuation. This study provides valuable insights for investors, corporate managers, and policymakers in understanding the dynamics of the coal sector in Indonesia's capital market.

The conclusion of this study is that the PURADI project is an innovative and effective learning method in instilling an understanding of Indonesian cultural diversity in elementary school students

Contract Testing: A Framework for Security Evaluation in gRPC

2025-09-25T04:49:24+00:00

The growth of APIs, including SOAP, REST, and gRPC, has made security a critical priority, with incidents such as those in the 2023 Paloalto report highlighting the financial losses resulting from API breaches. While existing tools focus on REST APIs, gRPC remains underserved, requiring time-consuming manual testing. This research aims to address this gap by proposing a security testing framework tailored to gRPC, integrating automated methods that DevSecOps can use to improve efficiency. gRPC, built on HTTP/2, uses a binary message format and client stubs generated from proto files, creating unique challenges for testing. The methodology involves extracting payloads, generating stubs from proto files, creating test cases, and executing automated tests for vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection and XSS. By analyzing gRPC components and adapting common API security practices, the framework identifies vulnerabilities, streamlines testing, and reduces manual effort. It automates processes such as payload generation and stub generation, enabling faster and more reliable testing compared to traditional methods. Results demonstrate that GSTF reduces testing time by 99% compared to manual methods while maintaining comprehensive coverage. Although some false positives were noted, the framework effectively identifies critical vulnerabilities and integrates seamlessly with DevSecOps pipelines. This approach not only improves testing efficiency by significantly reducing time but also sets a benchmark for secure API development. This study provides a practical solution for enhancing gRPC security, offering significant efficiency gains and establishing a foundation for future advancements in API security automation.

Safe-Haven and Diversification Roles of Gold and Bitcoin: Evidence from Financial Markets

2025-10-01T08:14:43+00:00

This study investigates the safe-haven and diversification roles of gold and Bitcoin in financial markets from 2015 to 2025. With rising economic uncertainties, the need for reliable safe-haven assets has become critical. Gold has historically provided stability during crises, whereas Bitcoin's volatile nature raises questions about its reliability as a safe haven. Through empirical analysis, including GARCH models and quantile regression, the research evaluates the performance of both assets during market stress. Findings indicate that gold consistently outperforms Bitcoin in terms of downside protection, confirming its status as a traditional safe-haven asset. Conversely, Bitcoin offers potential diversification benefits, enhancing portfolio performance when combined with gold. The results support the notion that integrating both assets can lead to improved risk-adjusted returns, making a dual-asset investment strategy a practical approach for investors navigating market uncertainties.

Students' Life Experiences and the Meaning of Conformity Behind the Boarding School Doors

2025-09-24T03:38:01+00:00

Pesantren, as traditional Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, create unique environments where Santri (students) navigate complex social dynamics and behavioral expectations. Understanding conformity in these settings is crucial for developing educational approaches that balance religious character formation with individual well-being. This research examines the life experiences of Santri and the meaning of conformity in the Pesantren environment of Lembaga Tinggi Pesantren Luhur Malang (LTPLM). Involving nine Santri with a minimum stay of two years, this study employed a descriptive phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews and participatory observation. The results showed that conformity includes adherence to rules, acceptance of Pesantren values, and cultural adaptation, which support the strengthening of religious identity and the learning of social values. The findings also revealed challenges such as social pressure to conform and the potential for negative behavior due to the culture of seniority. This study concludes that conformity in Pesantren serves as a profound learning process for Santri character building. The implication of this research is the need for adaptive educational policies to minimize the negative impacts of conformity while supporting the development of socially and spiritually balanced Santri.

Topical Kombucha as a Natural Antioxidant Against Skin Photoaging: A Literature Review

2025-09-24T04:17:57+00:00

Skin photoaging refers to degenerative changes in the skin primarily triggered by chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially UV-B. This exposure leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), stimulates inflammatory responses, and accelerates collagen breakdown through the activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These processes affect the extracellular matrix and skin homeostasis, and contribute to visible signs such as wrinkles, skin dryness, and loss of elasticity. Natural antioxidants in topical formulations have gained attention for their protective effects. Kombucha, a fermented tea rich in polyphenols, organic acids, and flavonoids has shown potential in reducing MMP-1 expression, enhancing TGF-β signaling, and stimulating collagen production. When fermented with Hibiscus sabdariffa (rosella), its antioxidant activity is further enhanced. This review highlights the molecular mechanism of photoaging and highlights the therapeutic potential of Kombucha Roella as a natural topical agent. Despite promising results, further in vivo and clinical studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.

The Influence of Good Corporate Governance and Sustainable Finance on the Performance of Commercial Banks

2025-09-25T04:38:19+00:00

Corporate governance and sustainability are key concerns for companies in Indonesia, particularly those operating in the banking sector, which have implemented corporate governance reforms to enhance the protection of shareholders’ and stakeholders’ interests. In addition, sustainability is required by regulators in the Indonesian banking sector, where its management is often a public consideration in assessing financial institutions, especially banks, as secure places to store their funds. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of good corporate governance and sustainable finance affects financial performance in banking. The independent variables used in this study are the size of the board of directors, the proportion of independent commissioners, CAR, Big 4 external auditors, and the proportion of credit for sustainable businesses. ROA serves as the dependent variable, while total assets are used as control variables. A purposive sampling method was applied to determine the study sample. Through this method, 47 general banks in Indonesia listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) were obtained. The research data was collected from the 2023 annual reports of all banks. The analytical method employed is multiple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that the CAR and sustainable finance variables have a significant positive relationship with ROA. This finding supports previous research that examined the relationship between CAR and sustainable finance with ROA, confirming that both variables have a significant positive influence. Accordingly, managers may focus on fulfilling these two variables to enhance ROA.

2025-10-03T05:01:42+00:00

Indonesia’s accelerating digital transformation has boosted demand for data center services, positioning PT DCI Indonesia Tbk (DCII) as a key player. Since its IPO in 2021, DCII’s stock surged to IDR 42,100 by end-2024, raising concerns about whether this valuation reflects financial fundamentals or speculative sentiment. This study evaluates DCII’s intrinsic value using financial ratio analysis and valuation models. Financial performance shows strong profitability and revenue growth, yet liquidity weaknesses and longer collection periods signal emerging risks. A multi-stage Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model projects free cash flow over 15 years, with a terminal growth rate of 4% and WACC of 12.85%, yielding a fair value of IDR 18,529 per share less than half of its market price. Comparable Company Analysis (CCA) further reveals that DCII trades at a significant premium across EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples. Sensitivity tests confirm intrinsic values consistently below market levels, suggesting investor expectations exceed fundamentals. The study recommends a 1:3 stock split with insider lock-up, quarterly investor bulletins, and working capital optimization to reduce mispricing and strengthen sustainability. Future research may extend to Southeast Asian peers and incorporate ESG and customer concentration factors.

Body Image and Social Anxiety in Late Adolescent Girls of Toraja Ethnicity

2025-09-24T03:33:38+00:00

Body image concerns and social anxiety represent significant mental health challenges among adolescent populations worldwide, with emerging evidence suggesting that these phenomena may be particularly pronounced in specific cultural contexts. Understanding the relationship between body perception and social anxiety in culturally distinct populations is crucial for developing culturally sensitive interventions. This study aims to examine the relationship between body image and social anxiety among late adolescent girls of Toraja ethnicity. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed. The participants consisted of 122 female adolescents aged 18–22 years, selected using accidental sampling. The instruments used were the Multidimensional Body Self Relations Questionnaire-Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS) and the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A). Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation. The results showed a significant negative correlation between body image and social anxiety, with a correlation coefficient of -0.617 and a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05). This indicates that the more positive the body image, the lower the level of social anxiety experienced by adolescents. Body image contributed 38.06% to the variance in social anxiety. These findings suggest that perceptions of physical appearance play an important role in influencing social anxiety among late adolescent girls. The results further imply that psychological interventions should emphasize self-acceptance and the development of a positive body image to help reduce social anxiety, especially among young females from specific cultural backgrounds.

Strengthening Fraud Prevention Through the Three Lines of Defense in Public Infrastructure Oversight

2025-09-24T04:39:05+00:00

This study examines the effectiveness of fraud prevention in the Directorate General of Infrastructure Financing at the Indonesian Ministry of Public Works using the Three Lines of Defense model. Employing a qualitative ethnomethodological approach, the research explores how actors in each line—the operational units, internal compliance, and internal auditors—perceive and perform their roles in everyday practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with nine informants, representing each line equally. The analysis reveals that formal oversight structures are often interpreted and enacted through informal social norms, with coordination heavily reliant on interpersonal trust and ad hoc communication. The study identifies key challenges, including overlapping responsibilities, limited authority of the second line, and a lack of integrated procedures. Moreover, the findings highlight that the perception of fraud and internal control is shaped by collective social knowledge, which does not always align with institutional policies. This gap between formal frameworks and practical implementation undermines the overall effectiveness of fraud prevention mechanisms. The research suggests that aligning policy and practice requires developing cross-line standard operating procedures, empowering the second line structurally, fostering a culture of risk awareness, and institutionalizing collaborative forums to ensure coherent coordination. These strategies aim to reinforce not only structural integrity but also the social and cultural dimensions of internal oversight.

2025-09-24T04:50:53+00:00

Despite digital advertising becoming more important in providing business advantage, many sellers in Indonesia remain hesitant to adopt e-commerce advertising tools. This study investigates the main barriers that prevent sellers from using advertising features on a major Indonesian marketplace. A qualitative approach was applied through semi-structured interviews with ten sellers, including current users, former users, and non-users. This study offers a novel contribution by exploring seller resistance from an experience-based perspective, which has not been widely explored in existing adoption research. The study uses a framework analysis method to identify eight main barriers including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, price value, habit, personal innovativeness, and digital advertising literacy. While most sellers found the platform easy to use, concerns about performance outcomes, cost justification, and lack of advanced knowledge limited adoption. Social factors and marketing preferences also influenced seller decisions. To strengthen the findings, this study uses a triangulation method by comparing the qualitative results with a previous quantitative study. This approach provides a clearer view of seller adoption behavior by confirming key factors and highlighting both aligned and differing insights. These findings provide a clearer understanding of why some sellers resist using e-commerce advertising and emphasize the need to address barriers and concerns to encourage wider tools adoption.

The Role of Tax Consultants as Client Advisors in Facing Tax Disputes: A Phenomenological Approach

2025-09-30T22:45:45+00:00

Tax regulations often provide only guidance and not concrete steps, leaving significant room for interpretation by the relevant parties themselves. The DGT and taxpayers frequently disagree when differences arise in the interpretation of tax regulations applied in business processes, often resulting in disputes. In dealing with tax disputes, the role of the consultant as a client advisor emerges as the dominant one, because when facing a tax dispute, the tax consultant acts as an extension of the taxpayer, authorized to help the taxpayer defend their position as someone who has fulfilled their tax obligations appropriately. The purpose of this research is to interpret the role of tax consultants as client companions in dealing with tax disputes, by referring to the code of ethics of tax consultants and their practical experiences. This research employs a phenomenological approach within the framework of qualitative research. In this study, data sources in the form of literature were obtained through digital libraries/electronic libraries, individual full-text journal databases, official websites, and online repositories. The results of this research show that the role of tax consultants as client advisors in addressing tax disputes is very complex and challenging. Tax consultants are not only required to possess strong technical competence in the field of taxation, but must also be able to balance client expectations with moral obligations and professional ethics, as stipulated in the IKPI Code of Ethics.
