This research aims to examine the application of weaving techniques combined with macrame in making hoodie jackets made from used denim, as an effort to support sustainable fashion. The background of this research is the increase in textile waste, especially used denim, which has not been maximally utilized. The method used is Research and Development (R&D), with the stages of design design, making samples of woven techniques, validation by experts, and making prototypes. The technique applied was two-axis plaiting combined with macrame knots using braided cotton rope. The results showed that the combination of these two techniques could be effectively applied to the hoodie jacket structure. The resulting prototype proved to be functional, comfortable to wear, and has high aesthetic value. This research is in line with previous findings such as Syaani (2020), which showed the role of webbing as a structural and decorative element, as well as Tiara Lugina (2015) and Mayarani (2019), which highlighted the visual strength of traditional techniques in modern fashion. Based on the results of the research, it is suggested that pressing of the seams is done before turning to prevent thickening, and macrame knots are locked on the lining to make it more stable. The results of this study show that the combination of webbing and macrame with used denim is effectively applied in the design of an innovative and environmentally friendly jacket.

This study analyzes the simultaneous and partial effects of Price (X1), Corporate Image (X2), and Service Quality (X3) on Customer Satisfaction (Y) in cargo shipping services at PT. Serasi Shipping Indonesia, Semarang Branch. The increasingly competitive maritime logistics sector demands a deep understanding of the determinants of business-to-business (B2B) customer satisfaction. Employing an explanatory quantitative design with a saturated population and sample of 100 corporate customers, data were processed using multiple linear regression analysis (SPSS v.22). The t-test results indicate that Price (t=3.813), Corporate Image (t=4.428), and Service Quality (t=2.398) individually have a positive and significant influence on Customer Satisfaction. Simultaneously (F-test, F=37.812), all three variables significantly influence satisfaction, explaining 52.7% of the satisfaction variance. The crucial finding highlights Corporate Image as the most dominant predictor of satisfaction (\beta=0.392). This suggests that in the high-value cargo sector, the company’s reputation and assurance function as primary risk determinants for B2B customers, surpassing the importance of price and purely functional quality. These results offer clear managerial implications for logistics firms in prioritizing the reinforcement of intangible assets to maintain a long-term competitive advantage.

This study aims to analyze the role of Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) in creating and maintaining excellent schools. IQA is a systematic mechanism designed to ensure that all educational processes operate according to established quality standards while serving as a means for continuous evaluation and improvement. This research employs a literature study method with a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing secondary sources such as books, scientific journals, government regulations, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that IQA plays a strategic role in building an education system oriented toward quality and accountability. Through the implementation of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, schools are able to establish measurable quality standards, control learning processes, and conduct continuous evaluations of educational outcomes. The implementation of IQA also fosters a culture of quality that encourages collective awareness among all school members regarding the importance of continuous improvement. However, IQA implementation still faces several challenges, including limited competent human resources, lack of leadership commitment, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and resistance to change. A case study at SMP Negeri 2 Tarutung reveals that the success of IQA is determined by visionary leadership, stakeholder support, and the use of data-based quality information systems. Therefore, IQA functions not only as a supervisory tool but also as a managerial strategy for achieving holistic and sustainable educational quality improvement

Indonesia's adolescent pregnancy prevalence necessitates comprehensive determinant identification for evidence-based preventive strategy formulation. This research analyzes correlations between reproductive health knowledge, parental role functioning, and peer influence on teenage pregnancy among female adolescents in Ciseeng Health Center, Bogor Regency, West Java Province. Cross-sectional design employed among 65 adolescents aged 15-19 years during October 2024-January 2025 using stratified random sampling. Data collection utilized validated questionnaires based on WHO Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Indicators, Parental Monitoring and Support Scale, and Peer Pressure Inventory with Cronbach Alpha (α=0.84; 0.81; 0.79). Demographic characteristics showed 60% aged 17-19 years, 40% aged 15-16 years, with 55.4% experienced pregnancy validated through medical records. Univariate analysis identified knowledge deficiency (64.6%), parental dysfunction (63.1%), and high peer influence (66.2%). Chi-Square analysis confirmed associations of low knowledge (p=0.001; OR=3.5; 95% CI=1.8-6.7), inadequate parental roles (p=0.002; OR=3.2; 95% CI=1.6-6.1), and dominant peer influence (p=0.001; OR=3.8; 95% CI=1.9-7.2) with adolescent pregnancy. Multivariate logistic regression identified peer influence as strongest predictor (AOR=3.80; 95% CI=1.67-8.65).

The resulting system includes key features such as a complaint form, status notifications, complaint history, and a dedicated dashboard for officers to manage and follow up on reports. The results indicate that this application not only accelerates the complaint handling process but also improves the effectiveness of communication between the public and the sub-district. With this application, the complaints process becomes more structured and responsive, and is expected to increase public trust in the quality of public services in Wanokaka Sub-district.

This study examines the effect of employee competency development, performance evaluation, and remuneration on employee performance at the Religious Affairs Offices (KUA) in West Jakarta. As a public institution responsible for delivering administrative and community religious services, KUA faces challenges in ensuring effective human resource performance amid bureaucratic constraints and limited performance-based incentives. The study aims to analyze how the three human resource management (HRM) dimensions competency development, evaluation, and remuneration affect overall employee performance. A quantitative explanatory research design was employed using a structured questionnaire distributed to 120 employees across eight KUA offices. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression supported by descriptive and classical assumption tests. The results indicate that performance evaluation and remuneration have significant positive effects on employee performance, while competency development shows a positive but statistically insignificant effect. The model explains 49% of the variation in employee performance, suggesting that transparent evaluation systems and performance-based remuneration play a greater role than training programs alone in improving public service effectiveness. The findings contribute to strategic HRM theory by confirming that evaluation and reward mechanisms strengthen the link between competency and performance. It is concluded that integrating developmental, evaluative, and compensatory functions within a unified HR framework can enhance productivity and accountability in Indonesia’s public sector institutions.

The limited urban land in Greater Jakarta demands the emergence of a residential approach that is more adaptive to the growing needs of space. This study examines the application of the concept of a growing house in the residence of Rumah Swatantra by Studio Dasar. The research method uses a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature studies and direct interviews with the designer architects. The results of the study show that the application of modular patterns and concrete hollow infill structure systems provides the flexibility of space growth without the need to dismantle the basic structure. The process of space growth occurred gradually following the development of the family from 2017 to 2024, and showed that the quality of space can still be maintained even though the building is built in stages. These findings confirm that the concept of growing houses can be an alternative strategy for sustainable housing in urban areas that experience limited land. In addition, this study highlights the importance of careful spatial planning from the early stages of development so that spatial expansion can be carried out efficiently, measurably, and in harmony with the needs of residents. This approach not only improves the comfort and functionality of the space, but also minimizes construction waste and future renovation costs.

Digital transformation in higher education requires an information system that is able to manage academic processes effectively, including the management of students' final projects. At Stella Maris University Sumba, the process of registering titles, guidance, and archiving of final projects is still carried out manually, causing various obstacles, such as administrative delays, difficulties in monitoring the progress of guidance, and the risk of data loss. This research aims to design and implement a web-based information system that supports the process of submitting titles, guidance management, uploading documents, and storing final project archives in the form of a digital data bank. The development method used is a software engineering approach with the stages of needs analysis, designing using UML, implementation, and system testing. The system is built with a three-layer architecture that features document management and role-based access control to ensure data security and integrity. The results of the black-box test showed that all system functions were running as needed, while the usability evaluation using the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire resulted in a score that indicated the system was feasible to use. The implementation of this system has been proven to increase administrative efficiency, simplify the guidance process, and provide a structured thesis repository that supports academic transparency and accountability. Thus, this information system is expected to be a sustainable solution in the management of final projects as well as a model for the development of academic digitalization in higher education.

Based on the 2020 data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, injectable contraception is more widely chosen than other contraceptive methods. One of the side effects of injectable contraception is that it can affect family well-being and also affect the mental health of those who work. Sexual life is crucial for supporting family well-being, so the impact of injectable contraception on sexual receptor dysfunction must be properly managed (Ningsih, 2021). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the use of three-monthly injectable contraception and decreased sexual desire or libido in contraceptive users. The research design used was quantitative, namely analytical research with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was 45 users of three-monthly injectable contraception. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a sample size of 45. The statistical test used was the chi-square test, and the result was a chi-square value of 35.837 (p-value = 0.001). Because the p-value = 0.001 is less than 0.005, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted, indicating a significant relationship between the use of three-monthly injectable contraception and decreased libido in contraceptive users.

The implementation of online zakat payments by BAZNAS Jambi Province faced several challenges, including suboptimal use of the Simba application due to system errors. Additionally, there was a lack of public trust in online zakat payments, insufficient public literacy on the matter, and inadequate socialization and education from BAZNAS Jambi regarding the online payment process. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection via interviews. To optimize digital zakat management, BAZNAS Jambi implemented a strategy involving both their website and the SIMBA system, offering two digital payment options: transfers and QRIS codes. They also pursued partnerships with companies and promoted zakat payments through social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Google Ads, Meta Ads, as well as TVRI and RRI television. However, there were challenges, including human resource limitations at BAZNAS Jambi, which resulted in delays when verifying factual data. Additionally, high IT operational costs limited the effectiveness of SIMBA and the website. The coordination issues, including both functional and institutional coordination, were also identified as significant problems. To address these challenges, BAZNAS Jambi has been working on solutions such as community education, socializing zakat management with the public and local government agencies (OPDs), and improving internal coordination.         

The development of the digital economy in Indonesia has driven various innovations in the financial services sector, including online lending services (PINJOL) and digital financial platforms. This phenomenon presents both opportunities and challenges for the national financial supervisory system. The Financial Services Authority (OJK), as the institution authorized to regulate and supervise financial services, is required to adapt its role to these dynamics. This study aims to examine the institutional challenges faced by the OJK in carrying out its supervisory function over online lending services and digital financial services in Indonesia. The methods used in this research are normative juridical, with a statute approach, legal theory and institutional theory (Conceptual approach), case approach, and a comparison of fintech supervisory models with those of other countries (Comparative approach). The results of this study are expected to provide an understanding of the OJK's institutional challenges and serve as evaluation material for formulating future digital financial supervisory policies. 

Local culture plays a strategic role in shaping and maintaining the identity of the diverse Indonesian nation. In the context of higher education, local culture does not merely function as a heritage of tradition but also as a source of values and character that can strengthen students’ national consciousness. This research aims to analyze the role of local culture as the foundation of national identity at the university and to identify strategies for implementing cultural values in the educational process and at campus life. This research employes a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), participatory observation, and document analysis to collect data. The findings indicate that the internalization of local cultural values through curriculum, student activities, and academic culture can strengthen the self-identity of students as the nation’s next generation. Thus, higher education institutions play a crucial role as agents of cultural preservation while simultaneously driving national ideology through the development of academic and non-academic programs rooted in local values. Thus, strengthening local culture in higher education is a strategic step in building a national identity that is characterized, competitive, and uniquely Indonesian.

Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants are among the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. This condition is associated with the immaturity of organ systems, including thermoregulation and respiratory function, making infants prone to stress, hypothermia, and oxygenation problems. One nursing intervention that helps improve physiological stability is the nesting technique, which positions the baby similarly to the intrauterine condition using soft rolled cloths as a “nest.” This case study aimed to determine the effect of nesting on oxygen saturation and pulse frequency changes in LBW infants in the perinatology room of RSUD Batang. The design used a descriptive case study with a nursing process approach involving 5 LBW infants who met inclusion criteria. The intervention was carried out by applying nesting for 30 minutes, then measuring oxygen saturation and pulse rate before and after the intervention using a pulse oximeter. The results showed an increase in oxygen saturation and changes in pulse rate after nesting. The mean oxygen saturation before intervention was 94%, increasing to 98% after three days of treatment. The average pulse rate increased from 130 beats/minute to 136 beats/minute, remaining within normal physiological limits (120–160 bpm). This indicates improved comfort and physiological stability due to the flexed position during nesting, which reduces stress and enhances oxygen efficiency. In conclusion, the nesting technique effectively improves oxygen saturation and stabilizes pulse rate in LBW infants. It is recommended as an evidence-based nursing practice for promoting comfort and physiological stability in premature or LBW infants in perinatology units.    

Public relations in schools plays a crucial role in building effective communication between the school and the community. Its primary functions include disseminating information, building a positive image, and establishing cooperation with external parties. This study aims to assess the implementation of the Public Relations function as a functional position in improving public communication at SDN Sempusari 01 Jember. The approach used was descriptive qualitative with data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that although the Public Relations function has been implemented, its implementation is still not optimal. Communication activities such as publications and community engagement have been carried out, but are not well structured. The main obstacle lies in the lack of functional staff and understanding of the role of public relations. Therefore, improving the competence of teaching staff is necessary for a more optimal role of Public Relations in strengthening public communication in elementary schools.

The study aims to investigate how corporate governance impacts sustainability report disclosure in mining companies that are listed between 2021 and 2024 on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The proportion of independent board members, the number of audit committee meetings held, and the level of managerial ownership are used to evaluate corporate governance. Using secondary data from the companies' official websites, a quantitative research approach is used. Purposive sampling was applied to select the sample from an initial population of 198 firms, based on two criteria: (1) being in the mining industry and listed on the IDX during the designated timeframe, and (2) regularly publishing sustainability and annual reports. By applying these criteria, a sample of 47 businesses was obtained, producing 188 observations in total.  Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data using SPSS version 25. The results of the partial test show that while the percentage of independent board commissioners has no discernible effect on sustainability report disclosure, the frequency of audit committee meetings and managerial ownership have a significant and positive impact. These findings demonstrate how important internal ownership and an active audit function are to raising the standard of sustainability accountability and transparency.

In the context of accelerating global economic volatility, organizations are increasingly required to adopt agile business models that enable them to remain competitive and resilient. Although business agility has been extensively discussed from structural and technological perspectives, the strategic role of Human Resources (HR) in shaping agile organizations and addressing the future of work remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to examine how HR contributes to organizational adaptability and resilience in uncertain environments by aligning human capital practices with agile frameworks. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys and semi-structured interviews with HR leaders and employees in industries most exposed to economic disruption, including finance, technology, and manufacturing. The findings reveal four critical dimensions of HR’s role: workforce flexibility achieved through reskilling initiatives and adaptive work arrangements; agile leadership development to enhance decision-making under uncertainty; prioritization of employee well-being and engagement as foundations of organizational resilience; and digital HR transformation leveraging analytics and artificial intelligence to strengthen efficiency and collaboration. These findings validate and extend the existing literature, demonstrating that HR is not merely a supporting or administrative function but a strategic driver of agility. The study concludes that by embedding HR strategies into organizational agility frameworks, companies can better navigate economic turbulence, enhance workforce adaptability, and secure long-term competitiveness in the global market.

Many nonprofit organizations in Indonesia face challenges in managing resources, operations, and Fundraising strategies, particularly in maintaining financial stability. Only about 13% have sustainable financing strategies, making this study relevant to evaluate the Fundraising model implemented by a nonprofit organization.

This study aims to analyze the multidimensional integration between theology and management in developing an ethical, holistic, and human-centered paradigm of Christian leadership. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method through a comprehensive literature analysis of contemporary theological and managerial works. The findings demonstrate that theology serves as a normative foundation that shapes managerial decision-making processes and guides the moral direction of organizations. The integration of spiritual, social, and practical dimensions produces a leadership model emphasizing love, honesty, justice, responsibility, and service. These results indicate that theology functions not merely as a reflection of faith but also as a conceptual framework that directs management practices toward sustainability and social balance. The multidimensional theological approach bridges faith values with concrete actions in modern organizations, offering substantial contributions to the development of character-based, humanistic, and transformative management. Consequently, this study enriches the academic discourse on theology-management integration and provides a conceptual reference for constructing ethical leadership models in the global era.

The phenomenon of fashion FOMO (fear of missing out) exerts a significant influence on fashion consumption behavior, particularly among the demographic from late adolescence to young adulthood. The fear of missing trends can lead individuals to make impulsive purchases. In contrast, the Minimalist Wardrobe concept promotes a conscious lifestyle that emphasizes functional and sustainable clothing choices. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of Fashion FoMO on purchasing decisions and to assess the role of a Minimalist Wardrobe as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing purposive sampling to collect data through surveys administered to respondents residing in Semarang City. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method with SmartPLS software. The results show that Fashion FoMO has a significant and positive influence on purchasing decisions for UNIQLO products. Meanwhile, the Minimalist Wardrobe shows an insignificant effect. These findings suggest that purchasing decisions are more strongly driven by emotional pressure from FoMO than by minimalist lifestyle considerations.

The focus of this study is to analyze how the position and role of farming communities contribute to increasing community income in Alkani Village, Wewiku Subdistrict, Malaka Regency. Using a qualitative research method covering research accuracy, focus, data sources, data collection techniques, and data analysis the study describes how farmer groups function as a platform for sharing agricultural information and improving economic outcomes. Findings show that these groups actively facilitate knowledge exchange by introducing modern technologies such as tractors and drip-irrigation systems, and by promoting digital marketing to expand market access. Farmer groups in Alkani Village also serve as regular discussion forums, holding monthly or needs-based meetings where members communicate, share experiences, and address agricultural challenges together. Through training, cooperation, and collective learning, farmer groups operate not only as centers for education but also as agricultural production units that strengthen the local farming sector. Their role in collaboration enhances solidarity among farmers, enabling them to support one another and work more efficiently. As a result, these groups significantly contribute to increasing farmers’ income and improving overall welfare. The study concludes that strengthening farmer groups is essential, recommending continued enhancement of training access, administrative capacity, and active participation from all members to ensure equitable benefits.
