Mon, 17 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The increase in the elderly population poses challenges to health services in Indonesia, particularly regarding degenerative diseases and malnutrition due to reduced physical activity and dietary changes. Supporting the Asta Cita program for elderly assistance, it is essential to monitor elderly health to maintain wellness and functionality in old age. This study used descriptive analytical observation on 25 women aged 55 to 75 years. Results showed that hemoglobin levels declined below the normal range of 12–15 g/dL. Serum iron levels and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme activity were measured using a spectrophotometer to assess anemia potential, while immune status was evaluated through vitamin D levels by immunofluorescence. Statistical analysis with SPSS software using Spearman’s correlation test revealed no significant relationships between hemoglobin and serum iron (p = 0.520), hemoglobin and LDH (p = 0.615), or serum iron with LDH (p = 0.543) and vitamin D (p = 0.138). Pearson correlation showed no association between hemoglobin and vitamin D (p = 0.885). These findings indicate weak or no correlation among these parameters in this sample. Factors such as small sample size and measurement limitations suggest that using more precise biomarkers, like Ferritin levels, could improve future research. This study contributes to understanding Prevention of Iron Deficiency Anemia Through Blood Immunochemical Detection in Improving the Quality of Life of Elderly—a valuable approach to elderly health monitoring.

This study aims to examine the influence of brand image on consumer purchase intention of the Indonesian national football team jersey produced by the Erspo brand. Although Erspo initially faced criticism regarding the design and quality of its products, supporter loyalty remained high. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. A total of 100 respondents were selected using the Cochran formula. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results indicate that brand image has a significant effect on the purchase intention of Erspo's Indonesian national team jerseys. The brand image dimensions—strength, favorability, and uniqueness—play an important role in shaping consumer perception and increasing purchase intention. Based on these findings, it is recommended that Erspo continue to strengthen its brand image through design innovation, quality improvement, and effective communication strategies to engage with its consumers.

Credit Scoring P2P Lending Fintech: Right to Explanation in AI-Based Credit

Aliya Suci Maghfirli, Thea Farina, Nuraliah Ali — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has transformed the credit scoring system in Indonesia’s fintech peer-to-peer (P2P) lending sector. Automated decision-making increases efficiency and financial inclusion but also raises legal concerns, particularly regarding consumers’ right to obtain explanations for decisions made solely by AI. This study analyzes the legal framework governing the right to explanation and consumer protection in AI-based automated credit assessments within Indonesian P2P lending services. A normative juridical method is applied using legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings show that Indonesia has established several legal foundations, including Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, POJK No. 40 of 2024 on Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services, and POJK No. 22 of 2023 on Consumer and Community Protection in the Financial Services Sector. However, specific regulation on the right to explanation for AI-generated automated decisions is still lacking. This gap creates challenges in ensuring algorithmic transparency, fairness, and accountability, especially when automated assessments potentially lead to discrimination or inaccurate risk profiling. Therefore, regulatory strengthening is required to mandate the implementation of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), ensuring that consumers receive understandable information about how decisions are made and possess the right to contest harmful outcomes. Clearer legal mandates are also needed to hold business actors accountable for risks arising from automated decision-making and to protect consumers’ rights in an increasingly digital lending environment.

Ryan Hutomo Suhardi, Raden Aswin Rahadi — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Based on performance in 2023, the share of Loans and Third-Party Funds from BNI decreased compared to 2022. In the profit and loss statement, BNI’s net interest income decreased by 0.1% (IDR 45.0 billion) compared to 2022. BNI’s Net Interest Margin (NIM) fell from 4.8% in 2022 to 4.6% in 2023. As a trusted financial institution, to address these business challenges, BNI launched a Super App in early July 2024. This research aims to analyze the correlation and evaluate the impact of the BNI Super App on BNI's funding structure and financial performance. This study employs both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The qualitative data analysis uses a content analysis approach, while the quantitative methods include correlation and paired samples t-test analyses. Data collection combines interviews and secondary data from BNI’s Annual Report and financial performance records. Based on the correlation results, Hypothesis 1 for CASA Ratio, Cost of Fund, NIM, and ROA is accepted. For impact results, Hypothesis 1 is accepted for Cost of Fund, NIM, and ROA, while it is rejected for CASA Ratio. There is a positive correlation between the BNI Super App—in terms of the number and volume of transactions—and CASA Ratio, NIM, and ROA, and a negative correlation with Cost of Funds. The results also show a significant impact after the launch of the Super App in reducing Cost of Fund and increasing NIM and ROA. However, the CASA Ratio has not yet increased significantly.

Evelina Endang Nurjaman, Helen Andriani — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The use of presurgical antibiotics is common, but adherence to guideline is low. Improper use can lead to antibiotic resistance. A preliminary study was conducted at RSPI Bintaro Jaya hospital between October and December 2023. The study found that the correct type of antibiotic and the timing of administration (30-60 minutes before incision) were both below 60% adherence. Research objectives is to analyze the appropriateness and rationality of pre-surgical antibiotics prescriptions and to evaluaste the causes of noncompliance. The research used a mixed-methods approach. Descriptive statistics to analyze prescribing patterns. Semi-structured interviews to understand the reasons behind prescribing practices. Research finding: Adherence to prescribing guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis was less than 60%. While doctors had the capability and opportunity to prescribe correctly, concerns about infection risk and surgical outcomes influenced their motivation, leading to potentially less judicious use of antibiotics.

What Fuels Electric Vehicle Adoption? Analyzing Determinants of Adoption Intention and Willingness to Pay

Nadiyatus Shofi, Imam Salehudin — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Electric vehicles (EV) adoption in Indonesia is still lagging, with current sales volumes far below the government's target, particularly for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). This research aims to uncover the diffusion of BEVs by analyzing factors that influence their acceptance through adoption intention and willingness to pay, using an integrated model of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), which incorporates perceived risk, environmental concerns, and government support. Data from 329 respondents in major Indonesian cities were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that effort expectancy, habit, perceived risk, environmental concerns, and government support have an impact on EV adoption intention. Additionally, performance expectancy, price value, and adoption intention were found to positively influence willingness to pay for EV. These findings confirm the applicability of some factors of UTAUT2, perceived risk, environmental concern, and willingness to pay in examining EVs adoption in Indonesia, contributing to the literature on technology adoption in the automotive sector. This study also discusses implications that offer valuable insights for stakeholders in the EV market, thereby helping to promote electric vehicle adoption in Indonesia.

Ecological Analysis of Post-Mining Bauxite Void Waters in Bintan Regency Based on Water Quality Parameters

Reza Muzzamil Jufri, Maryono Maryono, Fuad Muhammad — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Bauxite mining that has been ongoing for decades in Bintan Regency, Riau Islands Province, has left several voids or former excavated ponds. The existence of these post-mining voids has the potential to affect environmental quality, especially regarding water quality components and the suitability of land use in the surrounding area. This study aims to analyze the current condition of bauxite void water quality after mining in Bintan Regency as a basis for assessing the ecological aspects of the post-mining area. The analysis was conducted descriptively and comparatively by comparing the physico-chemical water parameters against class II water quality standards, in accordance with Government Regulation Number 22 of 2021. Data were obtained from the Bintan Regency Environment Agency (DLH) in 2023, including parameters such as pH, DO, BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, Total Phosphate, and Fecal Coliform. The results showed that most of the water quality parameters were within the class II standard range, except for pH, which varied between 0.24 and 7.75, indicating that some locations were highly acidic. The pH value is the main limiting parameter in determining the ecological conditions of the post-mining voids. Based on the calculation of the compliance score, about 68.8% of voids are classified as "Appropriate," and 31.2% as "Fairly Appropriate." These findings indicate that most voids have undergone natural stabilization processes, although some still require advanced ecological rehabilitation to normalize water quality and support post-mining environmental functions.

Juridical Review the Effect of the Amendment of Law No. 13 of 2003 to Law No. 06 of 2023 On Termination of Employment (Layoff)

Muhammad Rizky Syamandiri, R. Rahaditya — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the juridical implications of amending Law No. 13 of 2003 to Law No. 6 of 2023 (Job Creation Law) on termination of employment in Indonesia. As a rechtsstaat country, Indonesia prioritizes the protection of constitutional rights, including workers' rights. However, the Job Creation Law has raised concerns regarding potential violations of workers' constitutional rights, particularly in termination of employment provisions. Using a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches, this research analyzes problematic articles in the Job Creation Law that may contradict constitutional principles. The study finds that several provisions, including those on wages, working hours, employment contracts, and severance pay, have reduced workers' protections compared to the previous labor law. These changes potentially violate constitutional guarantees under Article 27(2) and Article 28D(2) of the 1945 Constitution. The research concludes that the Job Creation Law requires comprehensive evaluation and revision to ensure alignment with constitutional principles and adequate protection of workers' rights. This study contributes to the discourse on labor law reform and provides policy recommendations for strengthening constitutional protections in employment relations.

Wiliam Filix Zadok, Yuspendi Yuspendi, Ria Wardani — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of play therapy in strengthening child attachment through communication in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at a Special Needs School (SLB) X. The main issue addressed is the difficulty children with ASD face in forming emotional bonds with their parents due to barriers in social communication. This research employs a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design, involving five boys aged 6–12 years who have been diagnosed with ASD. The intervention consisted of communication-based play therapy sessions that actively involved parents in joint play activities with their children. Attachment was measured using the Attachment Q-Sort (AQS) tool, which covers three dimensions: secure, resistant, and avoidant attachment. Data analysis using the Paired Sample T-Test showed a significant increase in the secure attachment dimension, while changes in resistant and avoidant attachment were not significant. These findings indicate that play therapy emphasizing verbal and non-verbal communication is effective in enhancing secure attachment between parents and children with ASD, highlighting the importance of active parental involvement in fostering warm, responsive interactions that support the child’s social-emotional development.

Strategy Alternatives to Increase Capacity: Case Study in PT Turmerica, an Herbal Extract Manufacturer

Haikal Sofyan Arif, Desy Anisya Farmaciawaty — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The increased global demand of herbal extracts has made PT Turmerica need to re-evaluate its current output capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the most feasible and profitable business solution to solve production capacity gap and meet the market demand through a combination of technical and financial analyses. Using the TELOS framework and Decision Tree Analysis, three strategic alternatives have been evaluated for consideration: A1 is to invest in a new concentrator machine; A2 is outsourcing; and A3 is extending working hours. From production data from 2023-2025 and expected market growth rates, it can be seen that the current production capacity of 161,915 kg/year is insufficient to meet future demand; the gap to be bridged is estimated as exceeding 17% by 2027. The analysis found that the extractor machine was the main bottleneck in the extraction line, lowering throughput and increasing cleaning and maintenance time. A1 (investment in a new concentrator machine) is the most beneficial alternative, improving capacity by 35.1% as it speeds up extraction concentration, makes extract thickening unnecessary for the extractor, and prevents blockages. In contrast, both A2 (outsourcing) and A3 (additional working hours), have only raised capacity by 8.6% and 24.6% respectively with much higher operational risks and weaker long-term sustainability. Based on TELOS results, A1 offers the most feasible and profitable option based on decision tree analysis which produce higher cash flow.

Dedy Restu Nugroho, Wyati Saddewisasi, Ardiani Ika Sulistyawati — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

One of the main keys to determining the success of an organization in achieving goals is employee work discipline. A high level of work discipline reflects the employee's commitment and responsibility to the existing regulations. However, many employees have proven to be less than optimal in implementing employee discipline rules. There are many factors that can affect the lack of work discipline among employees. This study aims to determine the influence of Leadership and Supervision on Work Discipline with Commitment as an intervening variable in employees of the Grobogan Regency Disperindag, with a population of 57 ASN employees, sampling 55 ASN (PNS and PPPK) using the census method. The data collection method in this study uses a questionnaire and a data collection scale with a Likert scale. The analysis technique used in this study employs SEM (Structural Equation Model) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis technique operated using the help of SmartPLS software version 3.0. The results of the study show that Leadership has a positive and significant effect on Commitment; Supervision has a positive and significant effect on Commitment; Commitment has a positive and significant effect on Work Discipline; Leadership does not have a significant effect on Work Discipline; and Supervision does not have a significant effect on Work Discipline. In addition, Leadership has a positive effect on Work Discipline through Commitment, and Supervision has a significant effect on Work Discipline through Commitment.

Analysis of Waste Processing Technology on Community Willingness to Pay in Madiun City Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (Case Study: Waste Processing at TPA Winongo, Madiun City)

Nurjayanti Nurjayanti, Mochamad Solikin, Purwanti Sri Pudyastuti — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The objective of this study is to explore stakeholder perspectives on the prioritization of waste treatment technologies in Madiun City and to estimate the community's Willingness to Pay (WTP) for improved waste management services. This research utilized both primary and secondary data. Primary data for the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method were collected through 30 respondents using the Expert Choice application, targeting stakeholders involved in the waste management sector. Meanwhile, the WTP estimation was based on purposively sampled responses from 100 individuals—50 respondents from Manguharjo sub-district and 50 from Manisrejo sub-district. The results of the AHP analysis indicate that the highest priority waste treatment technology in Madiun City is controlled landfill, with a weight of 0.39, followed by composting at 0.36, and waste segregation at 0.25. The criteria and alternative evaluations were deemed consistent, as indicated by a Consistency Ratio (CR) of ≤ 0.1. In terms of WTP, the amount the community is willing to pay for the segregation method is relatively low, at less than IDR 2,000. This is in contrast to the composting method, where respondents are willing to pay more than IDR 2,000, and the highest WTP is observed for the controlled landfill method, exceeding IDR 3,000. The variation in WTP values is also influenced by demographic factors such as gender and occupation.

La Ode Muhammad Asrul, Kabul Wahyu Utomo, Sahnaz Ubud — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Job satisfaction is crucial in human resource management as it directly impacts employee performance, loyalty, and productivity. This study examines the influence of work-life balance and work environment on job satisfaction, with motivation as an intervening variable, among employees of PT PLN Indonesia Power UBP Barru. The study is motivated by fluctuations in job satisfaction data and the demanding nature of the electrical energy sector, which includes high workloads, shift work, and safety risks. Using a quantitative approach and the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) technique, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents selected by stratified random sampling, while secondary data were obtained from company reports and literature. The research variables included work-life balance (X1), work environment (X2), motivation (Z), and job satisfaction (Y). The results show that both work-life balance and work environment significantly impact job satisfaction, and that they positively influence motivation. Furthermore, motivation significantly affects job satisfaction and mediates the relationship between work-life balance, work environment, and job satisfaction. These findings align with Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, which suggests that both motivator and hygiene factors contribute to job satisfaction. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of improving work-life balance, work environment, and motivation to enhance employee job satisfaction in the energy sector.

Application of Adaptive Camera Zoom Using the Kalaman Filter Algorithm for Low Light Conditions

Hannafi Arrosyid, Tito Prinandita — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to implement the Kalman Filter algorithm in an adaptive zoom camera system to improve image quality in low-light conditions. The main problem faced by conventional cameras is the instability of light intensity, which affects image sharpness and contrast. To that end, experiments were conducted using three different Android devices, namely Infinix Hot Play 11, Oppo Reno 6, and Oppo Reno 11, with shooting distances of 30 cm and 60 cm, respectively. Each device was tested using a Kalman Filter-based camera application and compared with actual measurements using a lux meter. The results of the study show that the Kalman Filter-based adaptive camera system is capable of providing light intensity estimates that are close to the actual values with a deviation of less than 7%. This algorithm works predictively through a process of dynamic estimation and updating of lighting values, enabling it to simultaneously adjust camera exposure and focus settings. This results in sharper, more stable, and more realistic images even in low-light environments

Analysis of Competition Levels, Pricing, and Human Resources on the Competitiveness of Small Contractors

Restu Meihadi, Budi Susetyo — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The construction industry in Indonesia makes a significant contribution to the national economy, occupying the fourth position with a contribution of 10.06% according to BPS (2024). More than 77% of construction business entities are classified as small contractors, which leads to a high level of competition in this sector. To survive, small contractors need to implement strategies to increase Competitiveness through efficiency, innovation, and quality improvement. This study aims to identify effective strategies in increasing the competitiveness of small contractors in building construction projects. The results showed that the Competition Level variable (X1) did not have a significant direct influence on Competitiveness (Y), with a T-statistic of 0.509 and a P-value of 0.611. In contrast, Price Quotation (X2) and Human Resources (Z) were shown to have a significant direct influence, with T-stats of 2,917 and 4,710 and P-values of 0.004 and 0.000, respectively. However, in the moderation test, Human Resources was unable to strengthen the relationship between the level of competition and the price offer to competitiveness because the resulting T-statistical value was smaller than the T-table and the P-value was above 0.05, so it can be concluded that although HR is directly important, its role as a moderator is not significant in this study.

From Balance Sheets to Market Performance: How Internal Efficiency and Economic Conditions Shape Shareholder Value in Indonesian Major Banks

Arya Pradipta, Jagat Prirayani — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates how internal efficiency and external macroeconomic conditions jointly shape the profitability and shareholder value of Indonesia’s major banks under the KBMI 3 and KBMI 4 classifications during the post-COVID-19 period (2020–2024). Using a quantitative–causal explanatory design and panel data regression, the research analyzes quarterly financial and macroeconomic data from 15 publicly listed banks. Internal determinants are measured through bank size (KBMI), seasonal periods (Q1–Q4), and the CAMEL framework—Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non-Performing Loans (NPL), Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Operational Efficiency (BOPO), and Loan-to-Deposit Ratio (LDR)—while external determinants include GDP growth, inflation, unemployment rate, consumer and business confidence indices, Bank Indonesia rate, exchange rate, and COVID-19 period. The results indicate that credit quality (NPL), intermediation efficiency (LDR), seasonal periods, and bank scale (KBMI) significantly affect profitability (ROA) and quarterly earnings per share (QEPS). Externally, consumer confidence, business optimism, and employment conditions play a supporting but secondary role. Overall, the findings highlight that sustainable profitability in Indonesia’s major banks is driven primarily by internal management efficiency, prudent risk governance, bank scale, and adaptive response to macroeconomic fluctuations, providing valuable insights for regulators, investors, and policymakers in maintaining financial stability and shareholder value.

Towards a Structured Obesity Policy in Indonesia: Lessons from the Implementation of Metabo Law in Japan

Anindya Naila Sabahat, Dumilah Ayuningtyas — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Obesity is a growing global public health challenge, especially in developing countries. In Indonesia, the prevalence of adult obesity has reached 23.4%, but the control policy remains limited to a promotive-preventive approach without binding regulations. In contrast, Japan implements a Metabo Law policy that combines mandatory screening, clear anthropometric parameters, and a health insurance-based institutional incentive system. This research aims to analyze the success of the Metabo Law policy in Japan and evaluate its potential adoption or adaptation in the context of Indonesia and other developing countries. This research used a qualitative literature review approach by examining obesity policies in Japan, India, Thailand, the Philippines, Brazil, and Indonesia. The analysis was carried out thematically based on scope, intervention mechanisms, financing, institutional structure, and socio-cultural context. The Metabo Law succeeded in reducing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome through a regulative and population-based approach. Compared to developing countries, Japan's policies excel in terms of national coverage, institutional accountability, and funding sustainability. However, the success of the Metabo Law was greatly influenced by the context of Japanese collectivism and an integrated national health system, which are not yet fully present in developing countries. The adoption of policies such as the Metabo Law needs to be contextually adjusted. Indonesia can draw inspiration from such policy structures and mechanisms, especially in building a national screening system, strengthening regulations, and developing institutional incentives.

Lilik Mariyanizaitin, Tita Rosita, Elly Sukamana — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study explores the implementation of teacher competency in utilizing it technology for Indonesian language learning in 3T Madrasahs, Indragiri Hilir Regency by examining teachers’ competencies in utilizing information technology (IT) in Indonesian language learning within 3T (frontier, outermost, and underdeveloped) madrasahs in Indragiri Hilir Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis conducted at three madrasahs: MIS Islamiyah, MI Nurul Wathan, and MI Nurul Islam. Thematic analysis was applied to interpret the findings. The results indicate that although several teachers have begun integrating digital tools—such as laptops, projectors, or mobile devices—into their teaching, the overall use of technology remains basic and fragmented. Teachers primarily employ technology for visual presentations rather than for interactive learning. Key inhibiting factors include limited infrastructure, insufficient digital literacy, lack of institutional support, and geographical constraints. However, the study also reveals promising efforts made by teachers, including self-directed learning, informal peer collaboration, and adaptive use of simple technologies. These findings emphasize the need for systemic interventions, such as contextual digital training, provision of adequate infrastructure, and the establishment of a supportive school culture. Strengthening teacher capacity in IT usage is crucial not only for enhancing students’ engagement in Bahasa Indonesia learning but also for achieving equitable digital transformation in remote educational settings.

Systematic Analysis of Determinants of SME Performance in Indonesia: Integration of RBV Perspectives, Dynamic Capabilities, and Social Cognitive Theory

Muhammad Adil. MA, Yayan Hendayana — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

SMEs are the main backbone of Indonesia's economy, but their performance is still limited by access to financing, low digital adoption, and limited managerial capacity. This article presents a systematic literature review to identify the development of SME performance in Indonesia, map the determinants of the sector, highlight the research gap, and formulate policy recommendations and research agendas. Theoretical synthesis includes Resource-Based View (RBV), External Resource/Institutional Theory, Dynamic Capabilities Theory, Social Cognitive Theory. The results of the study show that the performance of SMEs is synergistically influenced by internal factors (human resource competence, innovation, entrepreneurial orientation, and resource management), external factors (access to financing, policy support, partnerships, and digital technology), and managerial behavior (self-efficacy, social learning). Dynamic capabilities serve as a key mechanism that allows organizations to reconfigure internal, external resources to respond to environmental changes and drive sustainable performance. The contribution of this article is an integrative conceptual model and the basis for evidence-based management in SMEs. Practical implications emphasize strengthening internal capacity, expanding strategic networks, accelerating digital transformation, implementing a comprehensive performance management system, and triple helix collaboration. The main limitation lies in the absence of empirical tests and the dominance of cross-sectional cross-sectional studies. The next research is suggested to develop a multi-theory model that is tested longitudinally and quantitatively, delves into digital capabilities and organizational agility, and incorporates the local Indonesian context as a mediating or moderation variable.

From Ecosystem to Export: South Korea’s Cultural Policy and Implications for Indonesia (A Comparative Study of Cultural Policies in South Korea and Indonesia)

Darmawati Darmawati, Janiscus Pieter Tanesab — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Korean Wave (Hallyu) gave rise to perception as a result of the cultural policies carried out by the South Korean government. Therefore, this comparative research aims to explore which cultural policies have been implemented by the South Korean government to be compared with those in Indonesia. As a lesson, this study seeks to answer questions about cultural policy factors, as well as the similarities and differences in cultural policies adopted by the two countries. As a comparative study, the approach used is not very complex; it simply juxtaposes cultural policies according to the chronological sequence of government administrations in both countries. The results are quite astonishing—Indonesia is lagging behind in developing its cultural planning; South Korea has been advancing since the 1970s, while Indonesia has just completed its Master Plan for the Advancement of Culture (2024) for the period 2025–2045. Another important finding is that Hallyu's success, achieved without deliberate strategic planning, is supported by the formation of a cultural ecosystem that has been consistently maintained since 1973. From Korea’s cultural policy perspective, at least the government’s support for cultural exports remains very high. The five main factors of cultural policy that are key to the emergence of the global Hallyu trend include the increasing competitiveness of Korean popular culture, the democratization and liberalization of culture, which facilitates widespread public access. Cultural liberalization has also led to the emergence of cultural entrepreneurs capable of competing globally within the framework of cultural industrialization.

Analysis of Road and Drainage Project Performance Control Using the Earned Value Method: A Case Study of Road and Drainage Work Row 46 Segment II Jakarta Garden City

Agus Sasmita — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Construction project control is very important to achieve project performance in accordance with the plan that has been set and is essential to implement, especially in relation to cost, quality, and time. The methods commonly used to carry out control are the Conventional Cost Management Method and the Earned Value Method, where both methods share the same goal: to control project performance so that the project is executed according to the plan. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and analyze the performance of the Road and Drainage Project in Row 46 Segment II, Jakarta Garden City, by applying both the Conventional Cost Management Method and the Earned Value Method (EVM). Using a descriptive research approach, primary and secondary data were collected through field surveys, documentation, and project reports over a sixteen-week period. The findings reveal that in week 7, the project was ahead of schedule (schedule underrun) but incurred higher costs (cost overrun), whereas by week 16, delays (schedule overrun) were observed alongside continued cost overruns. EVM demonstrated superior capability in monitoring deviations and forecasting final project costs and completion timelines through indicators such as SPI and CPI. The research concludes that EVM offers a more dynamic and precise tool for project control, enabling timely corrective measures and improved decision-making compared to conventional approaches.

Raisha Tassa, Nursyamsi Nursyamsi, Johannes Tarigan — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to evaluate the utilization of metal-coated plastic packaging waste (WMP) and eggshell powder (ESP) as partial substitution materials in the manufacture of environmentally friendly paving blocks. The method used is an experimental approach in the laboratory with variations of WMP of 5%, 10%, and 15% as aggregate substitutes, and ESP of 5% as cement substitutes. The test specimens were molded using a hydraulic press machine and tested based on SNI 03-0691-1996 standards for compressive strength, water absorption, resistance to sodium sulfate solution, and impact tests. The results showed that the combination of WMP and ESP was able to improve the mechanical performance of paving blocks, especially in the variations of WMP 10% and ESP 5% which produced optimal compressive strength and low water absorption. This study contributes to the development of sustainable construction materials and supports the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

N-Beats Optimization With K-Fold Cross-Validation For Stock Market Price Prediction In Indonesia

Natanael James Santoso, Fahri Firdausillah — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In the era of capital market digitalization, stock price prediction poses a significant challenge, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia, where high market volatility is driven by political dynamics and exchange rate fluctuations. This study aims to address these challenges by developing a stock price prediction model using the N-BEATS architecture, which is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional methods such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). The dataset includes open, high, low, close, and volume from five leading Indonesian banks between 2004 and 2024. The N-BEATS model is optimized using K-Fold cross-validation to enhance accuracy and reduce overfitting risks. Evaluation results demonstrate that the N-BEATS model gave better accuracy compared to CNN and RNN models, with a 30% improvement over CNN and 25% over RNN. Analysis of performance variability across stock symbols reveals that the intrinsic data characteristics of each stock influence prediction accuracy. The N-BEATS model exhibits significant potential for stock price prediction in the Indonesian market, excelling in capturing long-term dependencies and offering better interpretability.

Busyron Chudlori, Endang Etty Merawati, Nana Nawasiah — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the effect of Enterprise Risk Management and financial ratios, including liquidity, leverage, and profitability, on the potential for financial distress and its impact on firm value in pharmaceutical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research uses a quantitative approach, involving data collection and statistical analysis to investigate phenomena and test the relationships between variables in a structured manner, focusing on Enterprise Risk Management, financial ratios, financial health, and firm value. The population of this study consists of 12 (twelve) pharmaceutical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2016–2023. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, comprising 10 (ten) pharmaceutical companies that consistently published their annual and financial reports during the period 2016–2023. Data were collected through documentation and non-participatory observation methods. The secondary data used in this study were obtained from published audited financial and annual reports. The statistical analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method with Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS), operated through Smart PLS software version 4.1.0.9. The results indicate that Enterprise Risk Management, leverage, and financial distress have a positive and significant effect on firm value. On the other hand, liquidity has a negative and significant effect, while profitability shows a negative but insignificant effect on firm value. Additional findings related to financial distress show that liquidity and profitability have a positive and significant effect on financial distress as proxied by the Z-Score, where a higher Z-Score indicates a lower potential for financial distress.

Potential Of Methylated Circulating Free DNA (CFDNA) In The Leptin Gene As A Biomarker For Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Novia Anjelina, Farizky Martriano Humardani, Sulistyo Emantoko Dwi Putra — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, with an ever-increasing global prevalence. One of the risk factors for DMT2 is Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), which is the body's inability to regulate glucose during pregnancy which significantly increases the risk of developing DMT2 in the mother and her offspring. Among the various metabolic changes observed in GDM, leptin has been widely researched for its role in energy metabolism and insulin resistance. Leptin levels generally increase in obesity and GDM conditions, one of which is influenced by epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation. Increased methylation in the leptin gene promoter region has been associated with decreased leptin expression, indicating a potential pathway linking GDM to DMT2 susceptibility in offspring. Given the importance of epigenetic roles, analysis of leptin DNA methylation patterns, particularly through non-invasive detection of placental cfDNA, has the potential to be a biomarker for detecting DMT2 risk from prenatal times. This approach not only offers early detection, but also opens up opportunities for more targeted preventive measures to lower DMT2 in the future.

Dhanang Resnamurti, Yuniningsih Yuniningsih, Dwi Suhartini, Wiwik Handayani — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research addresses the need to optimize shorebase logistics costs for the East Java Offshore National Oil & Gas Company amid declining production and rising operational expenses. The study aims to determine the most efficient shorebase operation method by evaluating three alternatives: maintaining the current rental warehouse in Lamongan, relocating to a company-owned warehouse in Cepu, or moving to another rental warehouse in Gresik. Using a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), data were collected through Focus Group Discussions with supply chain experts and surveys from competent respondents. Key criteria included operation cost, mobilization cost, and handling efficiency. Results indicate that maintaining the existing Lamongan shorebase is the optimal choice, followed by relocating to the owned warehouse. The study demonstrates the applicability of AHP in integrating quantitative and qualitative factors for strategic logistics decision-making, with implications for cost efficiency and operational stability in upstream oil and gas operations.

The Effect of Tax Avoidance, Multinationality, and Profitability on Corporate Transfer Pricing Decisions: a Systematic Literature Review

Agusman Sianturi, Dana Farhana, Luk Luk Fuadah — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the influence of tax avoidance, multinationality, and profitability on transfer pricing decisions in multinational companies through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. This study uses 50 national and international articles indexed by Scopus and Sinta with a publication period of 2019–2024. The results of the study show that transfer pricing practices are influenced by three main factors, namely tax avoidance, multinationality, and profitability. The tax avoidance factor has proven to be the main driver for companies to carry out transfer pricing to divert profits to countries with low tax rates. Multinationality has a positive effect because the wider the cross-border operation, the greater the opportunity for transfer pricing practices. However, profitability shows mixed results; Some studies show positive influences, while others find negative influences depending on the industry context, tax regulations, and corporate governance. These findings confirm the importance of monitoring and applying the arm's length principle to prevent the abuse of transfer pricing in multinational companies.

Operationally, the electricity service hours increased from 16 hours to 24 hours per day, improving the quality of service to customers. Initial financial analysis indicated that the project was not feasible; however, an avoided cost analysis resulted in a positive Net Present Value (NPV) of IDR 162.55 billion, demonstrating significant cost efficiency compared to diesel-based operations. In conclusion, the de-dieselisasi program at ULD Timpah successfully improved the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of the electricity system in remote areas, providing positive impacts technically, operationally, and financially to support national electrification goals.

Traditional Meditation and Yoga Exercises as an Alternative Therapy for Insomnia

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects a person's quality of life, lowers daily performance, and is even associated with long-term health problems such as depression, anxiety, and heart problems. Nowadays, many individuals are looking for non-drug alternatives to overcome insomnia. One of the increasingly popular approaches is yoga and meditation. This study aims to find out the relationship between yoga practice and meditation on insomnia. A prospective cohort study in the population of DHSP Bali who experienced insomnia with an age range of 18–80 years during the period April to July 2025. The average age of the sample was 49.71 years (SD±12.95) (p = 0.084) with 16 males (57.1%) and 12 females (42.9%). The average ISI score before meditation and yoga was 15.21 (SD±4.55) (p = 0.090) and the ISI score after meditation and yoga was 12.14 (SD±4.56) (p = 0.067). There was an average mean difference of 3.071 points between the ISI scores before and after yoga and meditation practice for 3 consecutive months. An improvement in the average ISI score before and after intensive yoga and meditation practice twice every week for 3 months was shown to improve insomnia complaints. Regular yoga-meditation practice demonstrates statistically significant efficacy in reducing insomnia severity through mechanisms including parasympathetic activation, increased GABA levels, and positive neuroplastic changes in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, providing evidence-based support for integrative non-pharmacological insomnia management.

Leading Across Generations: Configure Present-Day Leadership Style In Indonesia Soe Banking

Deniza Riski, Donald Crestofel Lantu — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the leadership styles, leadership adaptability, and leaders perspective of developmental needs of a leading state-owned bank in Indonesia, BNI. This is taking place approximately one year after the bank was though its latest mass corporate transformation. With growing complexity, evolving roles, and increasing pressures for continuous transformation, these leaders must adeptly manage uncertainty, unify teams across several silos, and maintain unit performance under pressure. The study uses a method called qualitative descriptive phenomenology (Moustakas, 1994), that collects data from in-depth interviews, field notes and other previous related studies that thoroughly build the framework of the research. The findings show that leadership within the bank now is a blend of transformational and transactional, as leaders highly indicating participative, assertive and engaged actions, unconsciously avoiding any of Laissez-faire attitudes. There is, however, a prominent matter of how there is no structured support to help leaders learn to adapt. That implies leaders have to work on their own and adapt all the time. The study suggests on arranging a program: Leadership Adaptive Lab, a program that offers the chance to learn through doing challenging things, collaborating on projects with other teams, and a series of experiences to share and learn from. These are designed to create flexibility and establish a collective leadership identity within the company, while its aligns with the hopes from the BNI current leaders.

Transformation of Vocational Learning Through Augmented Reality: An Innovative Concept for Strengthening Visual Skills in Culinary Vocational Schools

Fitriyana Fitriyana, Didik Nurhadi — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The development of digital technology in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 requires vocational education to adapt to more interactive, contextual, and competency-based learning approaches. This study addresses critical challenges in Culinary Vocational High Schools (SMK), where students demonstrate low visual-spatial skills in understanding complex culinary techniques such as precision cutting, artistic plating, and creative decorating. This article proposes the concept of Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning as a vocational education transformation strategy that integrates digital learning experiences with real-world practices. The study employs a comprehensive conceptual analysis methodology, synthesizing theoretical frameworks from the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning and Experiential Learning Theory with contemporary research on AR applications in vocational education published between 2020 and 2025. The proposed conceptual model, AR-based Experiential Culinary Learning (ARECL), combines the principles of the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning and Experiential Learning Theory to create an immersive, collaborative, and hands-on experience-based learning process. Through this integrated theoretical approach, the ARECL model is expected to significantly enhance students' visual-spatial competencies, increase intrinsic learning motivation through interactive engagement, strengthen procedural skill development, and establish an adaptive vocational learning ecosystem that effectively prepares students for the dynamic challenges of the modern culinary industry. The implications of this conceptual framework extend to curriculum development, teacher professional development programs, and strategic industry-education partnerships that can collectively transform vocational education delivery in the digital age.

Yeni Nurul Kurniawati, Roekhudin Roekhudin, Sari Atmini — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Land acquisition for infrastructure development often faces complex dynamics, especially when there are changes in the route that are not in accordance with the initial planning. This study examines the route deviation policy in the Peterongan Irrigation Network project in Jombang Regency, which aims to avoid socio-cultural conflicts, especially related to the presence of ancestral graves. A qualitative approach with case study method was used through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research findings indicate that the route realignment carried out remains within the scope of the Location Determination Permit, resulting in land and budget efficiency. However, this change was not followed by complete administrative procedures, such as official map revision and public re-consultation, thereby raising issues of transparency and potential legal risks. Additionally, significant budget revision reflects challenges in public fund management. This study emphasizes the importance of implementing principles of transparency, public participation, and legal compliance in land acquisition so that infrastructure development runs effectively and fairly. Recommendations are provided to strengthen land acquisition governance that is responsive to local wisdom values and legally and financially accountable.

The Relationship Between Knowledge and the Utilization of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Book Among Pregnant Women at Tanjung Rejo Public Health Center, Deli Serdang Regency

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Maternal Mortality (MMR) is still a global health problem that needs serious attention. In 2022, Deli Serdang Regency was recorded to have the highest AKI in North Sumatra Province, which was 16 per 42,363 live births. One of the efforts that can be made to reduce this number is by using the Maternal and Child Health Book (KIA). This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant women and the use of KIA books at the Tanjung Rejo Health Center, Deli Serdang Regency. This study uses an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 100 pregnant women became respondents to the study. Data was collected through questionnaires, then analyzed using the Spearman statistical test. The use of KIA books is assessed through indicators of readability, comprehension, and application of information, while mother's knowledge is measured through the level of mastery of the content of KIA books. The results showed that the majority of pregnant women were at healthy reproductive age (55%), poorly educated (72%), unemployed (89%), and had high parity (56%). Most respondents (73%) fall into the category of poor utilization of KIA books, while 79% have a low level of knowledge. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant women and the use of KIA books (p = 0.001). The use of KIA books in pregnant women is significantly influenced by the level of knowledge.

Organizational commitment has been proven to have a positive and significant effect on innovation behavior (t-statistic 5.517; p-value 0.000). Furthermore, organizational commitment significantly mediated the relationship between empowering leadership and innovation behavior (t-statistic 4.172; p-value 0.000). These findings make a theoretical and practical contribution to the development of leadership strategies in the public sector to improve the innovative behavior of employees through strengthening organizational commitment.

Digitalization of Licensing Services Through OSS-RBA as a Modern Governance Innovation in Lubuk Linggau City

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The licensing process at the regional level is often convoluted, slow, and prone to information asymmetry. The digitalization initiative through the Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach (OSS-RBA) in Lubuk Linggau City aims to simplify procedures and increase transparency. This study explores applicants’ and officials’ experiences with OSS-RBA, identifying factors that facilitate or hinder its implementation in local business licensing. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with business actors of various scales and government officers, observations of service flows both at counters and online, and reviews of SOPs and related documents. Findings are presented narratively, highlighting categories and illustrative quotes. Respondents noted a clearer process flow, greater certainty about requirements, and easier tracking of application status through system notifications. Positive experiences were most common with low-risk licenses and among applicants familiar with OSS-RBA. New users expressed a need for initial guidance, detailed instructions, and accessible consultation channels. Key obstacles included digital literacy, network stability, inter-system connectivity, adaptation to new workflows, and SOP updates within local agencies. Stakeholders perceive OSS-RBA in Lubuk Linggau City as a more accessible, transparent, and consistent service. The results emphasize the need to improve communication about requirements, provide early support for new applicants, and enhance system integration to deliver a uniform user experience and sustain the benefits of digitalization.

Ausy Riana, Djoko Setyadi, Irwansyah Irwansyah, Ariesta Heksarini — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research was conducted in East Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan Province, aiming to examine the influence of human resource competitiveness on the welfare of regional contract workers (TK2D). It also compares which mediation variables—education level, skills, or relationships between TK2D and superiors—most dominantly affect their welfare. The study’s title reflects its practical focus on current issues. The research uses a Mixed Method approach with an explanatory sequential design, combining quantitative and qualitative methods conducted in two stages. It also incorporates exploratory and experimental research types. Stratified sampling selected 379 regional contract workers as respondents. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis was performed with WarpPLS 6.0 software. Findings show that skills and employment relations significantly influence HR competitiveness (p<0.05), while education level has an insignificant effect. Employee performance is negatively influenced by skills but positively by organizational aspects. Organizational performance is significantly affected by education level and employee performance (p<0.05). The model explains 76.1% of HR competitiveness variance, 2% of employee performance variance, and 41.7% of organizational performance variance. These results highlight the importance of prioritizing skills development and improving employment relations in regional government policies to enhance both individual welfare and organizational performance within the public sector.

Evaluation Of The Implementation Environmentally Friendly Material Management In The Green Construction Concept

Muhammad Kaisar Diandra, Rani Gayatri Kusumawardhani — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The rapid growth of Indonesia's construction industry has led to increased construction waste, excessive material consumption, and significant carbon emissions. Construction waste alone contributes up to 40% of total global waste, which, if not managed effectively, results in resource wastage, increased project costs, and environmental harm. This research evaluates the implementation of Green Construction principles during the construction phase of building projects in Indonesia, identifies factors hindering its implementation, and formulates strategic recommendations for improvement. The study adopts a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative analysis (Likert scale questionnaires of 1–4 based on indicators from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing Circular No. 1 of 2022 and the PUSKIM 2016 rating system) with qualitative analysis through in- depth interviews with project stakeholders. Three building projects with varying certification levels were analyzed: RS Harapan Kita–Tokushukai (LEED Platinum), RS Kanker Dharmais (Greenship Gold), and Labtek XV ITB (non-certified). Evaluation results indicated that RS Harapan Kita achieved the highest implementation level (average indicator score 3.4/4 or 85%), followed by RS Dharmais (2.8/4 or 70%), and Labtek XV ITB (2.2/4 or 55%). Major implementation barriers identified include weak governmental regulations, insufficient project management commitment, limited availability of certified green materials, and low adoption of digital monitoring technologies on-site. The study recommends strategies to strengthen regulations and government incentives, enhance digital technology utilization (such as BIM), optimize green supply chains, and increase human resource capacity. These findings provide practical input for improving sustainable construction practices in Indonesian building projects.

Understanding Indonesians' Intentions to Adopt Electric Vehicles: A Combination of Social Factors and Knowledge in the Theory of Planned Behavior and Technology Acceptance Model

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Environmental damage caused by carbon emissions is driving various countries to seek sustainable solutions, one of which is through electric vehicle (EV) innovation. Electric vehicles are considered capable of reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. However, in Indonesia, the adoption rate of electric vehicles by the public is still considered low. This study aims to empirically examine the influence of factors in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) on Indonesians' intention to adopt electric vehicles. The approach used is quantitative with a survey method, involving 311 respondents who have knowledge or interest in electric vehicles. Data was collected through online questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS through multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that only moral norms, knowledge, and ease of use have a positive and significant influence on the intention to adopt electric vehicles. In contrast, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, usefulness, and risk show no significant effect, while environmental concern has a negative influence, contrary to the proposed hypothesis. These findings highlight that personal factors

Responsibility of the National Land Agency Regarding Overlapping Land Ownership Certificates (A Study at the Malang City Land Office)

Muhamad Irwan Sugianto, Budi parmono, Sunardi Sunardi — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the responsibilities of the National Land Agency (BPN) regarding overlapping land ownership certificates at the Malang City Land Office. Land is a fundamental need, leading to conflicts over ownership and use. Legal certainty in land rights is essential and is mandated by the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) and Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997. However, overlapping certificates often arise due to factors such as bad faith among applicants, lack of awareness among landowners, and errors by land office officials. This research employs empirical legal research methods, using interviews and documentation to analyze the causes and responsibilities of the Malang City Land Office in managing land certificate overlaps. The findings indicate that the office must improve its verification processes and community engagement to prevent future disputes.

The Effect of Self-Efficacy in Career Decision Making in Students of the Faculty of Education and Psychology, Semarang State University

Najwa Husniyatin Nadhiroh, Kusnarto Kurniawan — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy on career decision making in students of the Faculty of Education and Psychology, State University of Semarang. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory design involving 115 students from the class of 2022 as a sample selected using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring self-efficacy and career decision-making based on Bandura's theory of self-efficacy and David V. Tiedeman's theory of career decision-making. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and career decision-making (r = 0.712; p < 0.01). Simple linear regression analysis yielded the equation Y = 57.305 + 0.379X with a t-value of 10.781 and a significance of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant influence. The determination coefficient (R²) of 0.507 showed that self-efficacy contributed 50.7% to the variation in student career decision-making. These findings confirm that students with high levels of self-efficacy tend to be more confident and better able to make career decisions compared to students with low self-efficacy.

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Dementia is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a decline in cognitive function. Identifying the relationship between radiological characteristics and the level of cognitive impairment can help early detection and intervention planning. This study aims to describe the radiological characteristics and level of cognitive impairment in dementia patients at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah Hospital during the period September 2023-September 2024. The method used was a retrospective descriptive study of 31 patients who had been diagnosed with dementia at the Neurobehaviour polyclinic. The level of cognitive impairment was categorized into mild, moderate, and severe based on the MoCA-Ina score. Radiological characteristics were assessed through Global Cortical Atrophy (GCA), Medial Temporal Atrophy (MTA), Fazekas, and Koedam scores. Results showed that MTA scores tended to increase with the severity of cognitive impairment, with the severe dementia group having an MTA score of 4 at 100%. This finding indicates that a high MTA score is associated with a more severe decline in cognitive function. The implication of this study is the importance of brain radiology examination in predicting the progression of dementia, so that early interventions can be made to slow cognitive decline.

The global shift toward renewable energy and electric mobility offers great potential for integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems with electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This study evaluates the feasibility and optimization of on-grid rooftop PV energy utilization with EV charging stations in shopping centers in West Kalimantan through an installation at Gaia Mall in Pontianak. Using HOMER Pro software, three scenarios were analyzed: Mall Only, SPKLU Only (electric vehicle charging stations), and combined Mall + SPKLU. The 1.16 MWp rooftop PV system produces around 1,524,240 kWh annually. The combined scenario emerged as the most optimal, with the lowest Net Present Cost (NPC) of IDR 29.8 billion, the highest Internal Rate of Return (IRR) at 10.3%, and a payback period of about 10 years. In this case, the mall’s yearly electricity use of 1,198,868 kWh is fully met. Excess energy of 325,372 kWh can supply about 15 SPKLU, each consuming 20,615 kWh per year. A 10,900 kWh lithium-ion battery storage system enhances supply stability and reliability. Environmentally, this combined system reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1.8 million kilograms annually. The study demonstrates that integrating rooftop PV with EV charging stations is a technically viable, economically attractive, and environmentally sustainable solution aligning with Indonesia’s clean energy goals.

Evaluating Transperineal Laser Ablation as a Minimally Invasive Therapy for BPH: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Amalia Intan Marhendrati, Nanda Daniswara — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common illness in older men, marked by lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that diminish quality of life. Although conventional therapies like medication and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) are effective, they frequently entail considerable adverse effects. Transperineal Laser Ablation (TPLA) has emerged as a viable minimally invasive surgical intervention that provides symptom alleviation with potentially reduced consequences. The objective of this study is to comprehensively assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of TPLA in the treatment of BPH through the analysis of aggregated data from previous cohort studies. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed in accordance with PRISMA recommendations. A total of 449 people were enrolled across ten trials. The meta-analysis revealed a substantial enhancement in all evaluated outcomes following TPLA: a −58.435% decrease in IPSS (95% CI: −70.421 to −46.449), a −63.937% reduction in PVR (95% CI: −76.937 to −50.938), a +68.031% increase in Qmax (95% CI: 47.438 to 88.624), and a −27.927% decline in prostate volume (95% CI: −36.575 to −19.280). Significant heterogeneity (I² > 90%) was observed across all outcomes. Discussion: The results indicate that TPLA markedly improves both subjective symptoms and objective urine function in individuals with BPH. TPLA is a promising, minimally invasive procedure for BPH, showing significant improvements in symptom severity and urine parameters. Although existing data endorse its effectiveness and safety, forthcoming randomized controlled studies are important to validate its long-term results and define its position in clinical practice.

Language And Symbol In The Works Of Al-Jīlī: A Semiotic And Semantic Study

Miftahur Rahman — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The tradition of shalawat in the context of the Malay Islamic archipelago is a cultural phenomenon that is rich in semiotic meaning and plays a significant role in the religious expression and construction of the collective identity of the Muslim community. This research aims to analyze the semiotic elements contained in the Malay prayer tradition, explore the symbolism that reflects spiritual and cultural values, and examine the role of this tradition in strengthening Islamic identity in the archipelago. The research method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach, analyzing prayer texts such as Barzanji, Diba', and Marhaban through the framework of cultural semiotics. The results of the study show that the shalawat tradition contains three main categories of semiotic signs, namely linguistic, symbolic, and performative that interact with each other to form a complex spiritual and cultural communication system. The linguistic dimension features a harmonious acculturation of Arabic and Malay, the symbolic dimension through visual and audio elements creates the identity of the Malay Muslim community, while the performative dimension strengthens social solidarity through collective rituals. The symbolic meaning of prayer includes three dimensions, namely spiritual as an expression of love for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), culture as the integration of local values with Islamic teachings, and social as a medium to strengthen community cohesion. The Malay shalawat tradition proves the flexibility of Islam Nusantara in accommodating local wisdom while maintaining the substance of religious teachings, creating an inclusive and contextual form of Islam.

This study aims to test the influence of religiosity, independence, professionalism, family resilience and remuneration as factors that affect corrupt behavior both partially and simultaneously so that efforts to prevent corrupt behavior through the Sharia Maqashid approach are obtained. The study used quantitative method, the population in this study is all employees in one agency that handles disasters. The sample size used was 269 respondents. The sampling technique used is Krijie Morgen. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that: (1) There is a significant influence partially or simultaneously between religiosity, independence, professionalism, family resilience and remuneration on corrupt behavior; (2) The application of "TANGGUH" values as an effort to prevent corrupt behavior through the Sharia Maqashid approach is another alternative to the efforts to prevent corrupt behavior that has existed so far. This research is expected to be useful from a theoretical and practical perspective. One of the benefits of the theory is to increase the insight of academics related to the influence of religiosity, independence, professionalism, family resilience and remuneration on corrupt behavior, while from the practical side, it is to provide advice to agencies in improving more reliable corruption prevention efforts through the internalization of the value of anti-corrupt behavior, namely "TANGGUH" (Resilient in religiosity, Resilient in Remuneration, Resilient in Independence, Resilient in Professionalism and Resilient in Family Resiliency).

Raja Shadam Ali Imron, Sigit Pradana , Damora Rhakasywi — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In the steel industry, Coil Lifting C-Hooks are used to lift high-temperature wire rods after rolling. The main challenge with this tool is repeated loading and high temperatures, which affect its structural strength. This study uses Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation in ANSYS to analyze the impact of repeated loading and high temperatures on structural strength parameters at temperatures of 170°C and 200°C. The simulation was conducted using steady-state thermal analysis and followed by static structural analysis. The results show that repeated loading and increased temperature increase deformation (maximum 2.4358 mm) at 170°C and (maximum 2.425 mm) at 200°C, von-Mises stress (maximum 140.86 MPa) at 170°C and (maximum 158.53 MPa) at 200°C, and reduced fatigue life (minimum 2,286,900 cycles) at 170°C and (minimum 1,394,500 cycles) at 200°C, as well as the safety factor (minimum 1.0954) at 170°C and (minimum 0.973) at 200°C, particularly in the C-Hook curved area. This underscores the importance of C-Hook design that accounts for thermal effects.
