Employee performance is a critical element in organizational success, particularly in labor-intensive industries such as garment manufacturing. This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress (X1) and work environment (X2) on employee performance (Y) in garment industry companies in Semarang Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach with multiple linear regression analysis was employed. The population and sample comprised 96 employees using total sampling. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) with 10 items per variable. All classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity) were satisfied. Reliability tests yielded Cronbach's Alpha of 0.866 (work stress), 0.941 (work environment), and 0.937 (employee performance), confirming instrument reliability. Results indicate: (1) work stress has no significant partial effect on employee performance (t = 1.581; sig. = 0.117); (2) work environment has a significant positive partial effect on employee performance (t = 9.618; sig. = 0.000); (3) simultaneously, both variables significantly affect employee performance (F = 56.630; sig. = 0.000) with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 54.9%. These findings confirm that optimizing the work environment both physical and non-physical is the primary strategic priority for enhancing employee performance in the garment industry.

Cattle farming plays a strategic role in rural economic development by generating employment, supplementary household income, and contributing to food and nutritional security. However, in Indonesia, most smallholder cattle enterprises remain traditional and small-scale, leading farmers to treat livestock farming primarily as a secondary livelihood. While previous studies have largely focused on technical adoption and production performance, limited attention has been given to farmers’ psychological interest as a foundation for sustaining livestock enterprises. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the level of community interest in cattle farming and examine the influence of farmers’ characteristics (age, education level, herd size, number of family dependents, farming experience, and primary income) on such interest. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 34 cattle farmers in Taji Village, Jabung District, Malang Regency, selected using total sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that community interest in cattle farming is generally high, as reflected in emotional (3.93), cognitive (3.81), and conative (3.74) dimensions measured on a four-point Likert scale. Regression results indicate that age has a significant positive effect (p = 0.022), whereas farming experience has a significant negative effect (p = 0.025) on interest levels. Other variables show no statistically significant influence. These findings highlight that psychological engagement in cattle farming is shaped more by demographic and experiential factors than by formal education or income level. The study contributes to the literature by positioning interest as a psychological determinant of livestock sustainability. Policy implications emphasize the urgency of risk-mitigation extension programs to address farmer burnout, incentivized intergenerational knowledge transfer, and cooperative-based institutional support to ensure smallholder livestock sustainability.

This study compared the performance of SARIMA and Prophet models in forecasting daily close prices of three major Indonesian banking stocks: BBCA, BBRI, and BMRI, using data from January 2020 to March 2026. Data were retrieved via the yfinance library, preprocessed, and split into 80% training and 20% testing sets. SARIMA modeling followed the Box-Jenkins procedure, while Prophet was configured with a Lag-1 regressor, weekly and monthly seasonality, Indonesian public holidays, and log transformation. Model performance was evaluated using MAPE, MSE, and Dstat metrics. Results showed that SARIMA outperformed Prophet in MAPE and MSE across all six stock-variable combinations, with MAPE values ranging from 1.3368% to 1.9386% for SARIMA and 1.5992% to 2.2300% for Prophet. However, Prophet demonstrated marginally higher Dstat values in several series. Both models achieved "Very Good" forecasting accuracy. A web-based forecasting system was also developed using Streamlit to make the models accessible to investors.

This study aims to examine the implementation of Probolinggo City Regional Regulation Number 2 of 2024 concerning the Respect, Protection, and Fulfillment of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, specifically regarding entrepreneurial rights in Kanigaran District. A descriptive qualitative approach with a single case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four key informants, field observation, and documentary study. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's interactive model, interpreted through Thomas B. Smith's policy implementation theory encompassing four variables: Idealized Policy, Target Groups, Implementing Organization, and Environmental Factors. Findings indicate that implementation has been underway but has not yet reached an optimal state. The policy possesses strong normative substance, yet socialization to target groups remains shallow and uneven. Entrepreneurial motivation among persons with disabilities is high, but constrained by limited capital, social stigma, transportation barriers, and insufficient post-training mentorship. The DKUP has conducted training and marketing facilitation programs, however capital support capacity and sustained mentorship remain critically limited. Environmental factors reveal potential through the KDK community and digital technology, while social stigma and transportation infrastructure continue to pose significant obstacles.

Substandard housing remains a multidimensional urban problem because it intersects with structural safety, indoor environmental quality, sanitation, clean water, poverty, and the effectiveness of policy implementation. This study evaluates the implementation of the substandard housing improvement program (RTLH) in Lubuk Linggau City by integrating a technical audit of housing quality with an implementation analysis based on the variables of communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. A descriptive-evaluative mixed approach was applied through field observation, technical scoring of ten rehabilitated houses, document review, and structured interviews with regulators, field facilitators, and beneficiary households. The results show that the cumulative technical conformity index reached 3.325 out of 4.00, equivalent to 83%, and was classified as adequate housing. Structural resilience achieved the highest score at 88%, followed by space adequacy at 85%, natural lighting and ventilation at 80%, and sanitation and clean water at 75%. Five houses were classified as adequate housing, while five were classified as fairly adequate/light substandard housing. The implementation analysis indicates that clear practical communication and facilitator assistance strengthened structural quality, but limited financial resources, weak environmental-health prioritization, and administratively oriented supervision reduced sanitation and ventilation performance. The study recommends standardized septic systems, stronger post-construction technical verification, healthy-housing education, realistic unit budgets, and quality-oriented monitoring.

Employee performance is essential to organizational success, particularly in the service industry, where service quality depends heavily on employees’ capabilities and workplace conditions. This study examines the effects of a learning organization culture and the work environment on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable among service sector employees in West Jakarta. A quantitative causal approach was employed using an online questionnaire distributed through purposive sampling, resulting in 210 valid respondents. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. The findings reveal that both a learning organization culture and a positive work environment have significant positive effects on job satisfaction. In addition, learning organization culture, work environment, and job satisfaction each positively and significantly influence employee performance. Job satisfaction also mediates the relationships between learning organization culture, work environment, and employee performance. These results suggest that organizations can improve employee performance by strengthening continuous learning practices, creating supportive working conditions, and enhancing employee satisfaction. The study contributes to the human resource management literature and provides practical guidance for organizations seeking sustainable performance through employee-centered management strategies.

Cracker pr machines are widely used in small and medium-scale food industries. However, limitations in frame design and motor speed control often result in suboptimal machine performance. This study aims to perform a redesign of the upper conveyor frame, analyze the structural strength of the frame, and evaluate the effect of using a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) inverter on improving the production capacity of a cracker printing machine.The research method includes frame redesign, load calculation, and numerical analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM) with SolidWorks Simulation. The applied loads consist of machine component weights and operational loads. In addition, performance testing was conducted by varying the motor rotational speed controlled by the VSD inverter to determine its effect on production output.The results show that the redesigned frame has a maximum displacement of 0.18 mm, a maximum stress of 8.9 MPa, and a minimum safety factor of 31, indicating that the structure is safe and operates within the elastic region. The implementation of the VSD inverter successfully increased the machine’s production capacity from the initial condition up to 78.5 kg/h. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the frame redesign and the application of a VSD inverter are effective in improving the performance and reliability of the cracker printing machine.
