Theopurpose ofothis studyois toodetermine the analysis of non-physical work enviironment, motivation, and workload on employeoperformance withojob satisfactionoas an interveningovariable. Theoresearch methodoused inothis studyois a quantitativeoresearch method with a descriptiveoandoverification approach. Dataocollection techniques in thisostudy are interviews, questionnaires, andoobservations with a population of 90 drivers. Theosampling techniqueoused in thisostudy is a non-probability samplingotechnique with sensus sampling. The analytical tool in thisostudy is SmartPLS 4 for verification analysis. Testing of measurement models or outer models in this study is convergentovalidity, discriminantovalidity, AverageoVariance Extractedo (AVE), compositeoreliability, Cronbachoalpha. The structural model or inner models tested in this study were the coefficientoof determinationo (R²) and predictiveorelevance (Q²). Theoresults of thisostudy indiicate thatothe non-physiical work enviironment and motivation have a positiive and signiificant effectt on job satisfactiion partially, while workload has no effectt on job satisfactiion partially. Workload and satiisfaction have a posiitive and signifiicant effectt on peerformance, while the non-physiical work enviironment and motiivation have nooeffect onoperformance partially. Simultaneously, the effect is 76.1%, and the remaiining 23.9% is inflluenced by other facttors. Job satisfaction can mediate the non-physiical work enviironment and motivation on emplloyee perforrmance, but cannot mediate the effect of workload on emplloyee peerformance.

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Data has become a strategic asset that supports decision-making in the digital era. Master Data Management (MDM) is used to assure quality, accuracy, and consistency of master data. However, government electronic certification services face challenges related to data inconsistencies due to the use of two applications with separate databases. This study assessed the MDM maturity level in government electronic certification services (Institution XYZ) using the Spruit & Pietzka Master Data Management Maturity Model (MD3M). It then provided improvement recommendations aligned with the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK). The research applied five domains: data model, data quality, use and ownership, data protection, and maintenance, encompassing 62 required capabilities. Data were collected through interviews with the data management team. The results indicated that 69.36% of the capabilities in the MD3M model had been implemented.This study identified areas for improvement in master data management within government electronic certification services and provided strategic recommendations to enhance data management effectiveness. This approach is expected to support more effective, secure, and standardized data management in accordance with organizational and regulatory requirements.

Analysis Of Musculoskeletal Complaints Among Packing Workers In The Frozen Food Industry: Japanese Taiyaki Cakes

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Background:Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common occupational health problems caused by non-ergonomic postures and repetitive activities. Every year, more than 2.3 million workers die due to occupational accidents and diseases, including musculoskeletal complaints. Such conditions were also observed in a frozen Japanese Taiyaki cake industry in Indonesia, particularly among packing workers who stand for long periods and perform repetitive movements such as lifting, bending, and arranging products into packages. These activities are suspected to increase the risk of MSDs. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints among packing workers in the frozen food industry. Method: A cross-sectional design was applied, involving 75 workers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire along with respondent characteristics. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Result: The results showed a prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints of 62.7%, with the most affected body parts being the lower back (40%), shoulders (26.7%), and neck (20%). The Chi-square analysis revealed that working duration of ≥ 8 hours per day (p = 0.001) and work period > 5 years (p = 0.003) were significantly associated with MSDs, while age and gender showed no significant relationship. Conclusion: In conclusion, the prevalence of MSDs among packing workers in the frozen food industry was relatively high, with work duration and length of employment as the main contributing factors. Ergonomic interventions such as work schedule adjustment, task rotation, and active stretching programs are recommended to reduce musculoskeletal complaints.

A Study of the Perceptions of Professional-Year Students of the 76th Cohort Regarding the Integrated Surgical Clerkship Program at the Faculty of Medicine, Jenderal Achmad Yani University

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The transition of medical professional students from the preclinical stage to the clinical stage is a period filled with critical academic and psychological challenges. The concept of an integrated clerkship is needed to support experiential learning, improve self-confidence, and minimize the risk of medical errors due to system unpreparedness. Evaluation of the Integrated Surgical Clerkship (ISC) program at the Faculty of Medicine, Jenderal Achmad Yani University (FK Unjani) is an essential step to ensure effective curriculum implementation.This study aimed to describe the perceptions of professional-year students of the LXXVI cohort regarding the effectiveness and implementation of the ISC program at the Faculty of Medicine, Unjani. A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on all professional-year students of Cohort LXXVI (N = 120) using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire consisting of 26 items. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The instrument demonstrated very high reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.982. The respondents consisted of 83 female students (69.2%) and 37 male students (30.8%). Students’ perceptions of the ISC program were in the very good category, particularly in the domains of clinical readiness and mentor quality. The ISC program was found to be effective in supporting the transition to clinical education and is recommended for continued implementation.

Abortion Dispensation Due to Verified Contraceptive Failure: A Normative Juridical Study of Article 60 of Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Indonesia faces a paradox in its reproductive health policy: while actively promotes the Family Planning program but explicitly acknowledges the possibility of contraceptive failure under Law Number 52 of 2009. It fails to provide a legal remedy when such failure

results in unintended pregnancy. Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health and Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP) permit abortion only under limited exceptions. Namely, medical emergencies and pregnancies among rape victims, without accommodating contraceptive failure, notwithstanding the State’s recognition that such failures may occur. This study aims to (1) analyze the legal standing of unintended pregnancy resulting from verified contraceptive failure within the framework of exceptions to the prohibition of abortion and (2) develop a contextually legal dispensation model for abortion in such cases within the Indonesian legal system. The research employs a normative legal method, utilizing conceptual, statutory and comparative approaches. Secondary legal materials are examined through systematic, teleological and extensive interpretation, alongside a comparative analysis of six selected countries. The findings demonstrated that the legal status of contraceptive failure is characterized by a condition of normative incompleteness (onvolledigheid van de norm), thereby undermining the principles of legal certainty and protection. Interpretation of “medical emergency” grounded in the World Health Organization’s definition of health, may serve as an entry point to accommodate such cases. The appropriate legal construction lies in the establishment of a dispensation mechanism, implemented through an integrated dispensation panel at the district/city level.

The Influence of Parents' Socio-Economic Status, Motivation, Self-Efficacy, Teacher-Student Interactions on Interest in Entering Higher Students

Tumpak Simangunsong, H. Suwatno — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Education is a crucial asset for the development of society and the nation. However, the low percentage of individuals pursuing higher education in Indonesia remains a concern that requires further investigation. Various factors influence students’ decisions not to continue their education at the tertiary level. This study aims to analyze the influence of parents’ socioeconomic status, self-efficacy, motivation, and academic achievement on students’ interest in pursuing higher education. The research adopted a quantitative approach, with data collected from 48 Social Sciences students at Cimindi Adventist High School. Causal relationships were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that parents’ socioeconomic status, self-efficacy, motivation, and academic achievement have a significant positive effect on students’ interest in continuing their education. These results emphasize the importance of teachers and school management in consistently enhancing student motivation and self-efficacy, particularly for students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, to encourage continued engagement in higher education. Participation in higher education is strongly influenced by factors such as parents’ socioeconomic status, motivation, self-efficacy, and academic achievement. Therefore, it is crucial for schools and educators to provide adequate support, especially to students from low-income backgrounds, to motivate them to pursue higher education.

Animal quarantine is an essential measure to prevent the entry, exit, and spread of quarantinable animal diseases that may endanger public health, food security, and the sustainability of biological resources. In practice, cases still occur involving the transportation and distribution of animals without health certificates, which may constitute legal violations and pose threats to both animal and human health. This study aimed to analyze the legal regulation concerning criminal acts related to animal quarantine involving animals without health certificates under Law Number 21 of 2019 concerning Animal, Fish, and Plant Quarantine, as well as to examine the implementation and law enforcement against offenders based on applicable criminal provisions. The research method used was normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials consisted of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, which were analyzed qualitatively.The legal framework governing animal quarantine is regulated under Law Number 21 of 2019 concerning Animal, Fish, and Plant Quarantine, Law Number 18 of 2009 concerning Animal Husbandry and Animal Health as amended by Law Number 41 of 2014, along with relevant implementing regulations. The results of the study indicate that every importation and transportation of animals must be accompanied by a health certificate issued by an authorized official as proof of animal health and as a measure to prevent disease transmission. Violations of this obligation may result in administrative and criminal sanctions in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 21 of 2019.
