This study aims to thoroughly examine the influence of menu variety, taste, and price on customers' purchasing decisions at CEZ-ROS Restaurant, located in Kediri Regency. Understanding these factors is crucial for the restaurant to enhance customer satisfaction and improve sales performance. The research employs a quantitative approach with an associative research type, designed to explore relationships between variables. The sampling technique used is accidental sampling, where respondents were selected based on convenience and their availability during the data collection period. This method allows for practical and efficient data gathering from actual restaurant customers. Data analysis involves several statistical tests to ensure accuracy and reliability. Initially, validity and reliability tests were conducted to confirm the suitability of the questionnaire. Then, multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine how menu variety, taste, and price individually and collectively influence purchasing decisions. Additionally, t-tests assessed the significance of each independent variable, while the F-test evaluated their simultaneous effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) provided insight into how much variation in purchasing decisions could be explained by these variables. The results indicate that menu variety, taste, and price significantly impact purchasing decisions both individually and together. Specifically, customers prefer restaurants offering a diverse menu, delicious food, and reasonable pricing. The F-test confirms the strong combined effect of these factors on consumer behavior. However, the coefficient of determination also suggests that while these variables are important, other external influences such as service quality, ambiance, and promotions may also affect purchasing decisions. Overall, this study highlights that CEZ-ROS Restaurant should focus on maintaining menu diversity, enhancing taste quality, and setting competitive prices to attract and retain customers effectively.

Low English proficiency remains a problem for the younger generation in Mimika Regency, particularly in speaking skills. Additionally, the flow of modernization influences the low appreciation of society, especially the younger generation, towards local culture, with the emergence of popular culture. This community service activity offers an English Storytelling Competition as a creative and innovative educational medium to integrate English competency and the preservation of the local culture of indigenous communities in Mimika Regency. This program used a collaborative approach/community-based participatory approach (CBPA) through community involvement in the planning, script preparation, workshops, competitions, and reflection stages, together with the utilization of existing local strengths and wisdom. The main purpose of this program is to encourage social change in the community, which includes: (1) increasing oral English skills in the young generation in Mimika.

The results of the activity showed an increase in English communication skills, growing self-confidence in students, and the presence of creativity in interestingly packaging Amungme-Kamoro folklore. In addition, this activity brings a new awareness of the importance of preserving local culture, potential leaders who dare to appear in public, and presents a new institution in the form of a space competition that combines aspects of language and cultural education.

The modern doctrine of criminal responsibility is built on the premise of free will and individual deliberative capacity. However, advances in neurogenetics, particularly findings regarding MAOA-L gene expression, have presented a structural disruption to this framework. The MAOA-L gene has been empirically associated with impaired impulse regulation and increased aggressive responses, particularly in combination with childhood trauma. This study aims to evaluate how MAOA-L gene expression influences the capacity for criminal responsibility and to analyze the tension between classical legal constructs and biological determinants within the structure of culpability. The research method employed normative research with a conceptual approach. The results indicate that the dichotomy-based mens rea doctrine fails to accommodate the degree of control capacity shaped by neurobiological structures. MAOA-L cannot be treated as a basis for forgiveness, but rather serves as an evaluative variable in assessing the spectrum of legal responsibility. In this position, criminal law maintains the principle of individual responsibility but formulates it through a new framework based on actual capacity rather than a universal voluntaristic assumption. This reformulation is necessary to avoid disproportionate attribution of blame and to allow criminal law to move toward a system that is more adaptive to biological realities without falling into determinism.

Believers, both in the time of Jesus and in today’s context, live in situations shaped by social, political, economic, religious, and cultural influences that often give rise to anxiety and doubt about God’s providence. In Luke 12:22–32, Jesus delivers a teaching that prohibits worry and calls His followers to direct their hearts toward the Kingdom of God. For those living under Roman rule, these words were a source of comfort and encouragement to remain steadfast in their faith in God’s power, and for believers today, the same message continues to be relevant as guidance for managing worry with trust and hope. This study seeks to analyze Luke 12:22–32 from the perspective of the theology of God’s providence and to explain its implications for contemporary Christian life. The findings emphasize three key points: first, the passage affirms God as a sovereign, loving Father who cares deeply for His people; second, God’s providence includes both physical and spiritual needs, thus framing faith as an active trust that combines prayer, hope, and concrete action; and third, reflection on God’s providence strengthens believers to face modern anxieties by prioritizing the Kingdom of God, practicing spiritual discipline, and embodying solidarity with others. Although limited in scope as a textual study without cultural or empirical application, this research contributes significantly to understanding God’s providence in Luke 12:22–32 and underlines its relevance for addressing contemporary challenges while encouraging Christians to live out their faith in tangible ways.

This study aims to explore the influence of values and motivation on organizational culture in Paguyuban Sri Tanjung, Yogyakarta, a platform for more than 90 Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The research employs a descriptive design and quantitative methods, involving 90 respondents selected through non-probability sampling techniques. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The results reveal that both values and motivation have a positive and significant impact on organizational culture, with P-values of 0.000 and 0.005, respectively. However, the influence of leadership on organizational culture was found to be insignificant, with a P-value of 0.260. These findings align with previous research that highlights the significant role of values and motivation in shaping a strong organizational culture. Furthermore, the study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of MSMEs in Yogyakarta, contributing to a better understanding of how organizational culture influences business performance. The research also suggests that improving the organizational culture within MSMEs, especially by focusing on values and motivation, can enhance their competitiveness and sustainability in a rapidly evolving market. The findings support the need for businesses to foster a positive organizational culture to ensure long-term growth and success, particularly in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises in developing regions.

he fatherless phenomenon in Bandung City affects family communication patterns and influences how adult women determine partner criteria. This study aims to examine the conversation and conformity orientations in the family communication of fatherless adult women when choosing a life partner. The research employed a qualitative case study approach using purposive sampling, involving four key informants and eight supporting informants. The findings indicate that conversation orientation is more focused on the mother, but is limited by feelings of awkwardness and inequality in speaking positions, reducing openness in discussing life values. The conformity orientation, centered on the mother as the dominant figure, does not always reach the child due to emotional differences and the indirect delivery of expectations, which create emotional distance and tension. The mother assumes a dual role as the source of values, moral guidance, and understanding of family life; however, communication tends to be one-sided and less balanced. The study recommends that individuals who have experienced the loss of a father figure develop self-awareness regarding the influence of past experiences in partner selection, understand the relationship values they believe in, and foster healthy communication to build more stable and meaningful relationships. In addition, the study highlights the importance of creating safe spaces for dialogue within the family, so that openness and equality in communication can emerge. Strengthening social support systems, including peer and community support, can also complement family communication, thereby helping fatherless adult women establish healthier relationship choices in the future.

This study examines the role of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as a moderator in the relationship between employee engagement, job satisfaction, and employee performance at the Tarokan District Office in Kediri Regency. The research focuses on analyzing how these variables interact and influence each other within the organizational context. The findings indicate that employee engagement has a significant impact on employee performance. This suggests that when employees are more engaged in their work, they tend to exhibit higher levels of performance. Similarly, job satisfaction also significantly influences employee performance. Employees who are satisfied with their work environment and tasks tend to perform better in their roles. However, the study reveals that organizational citizenship behavior does not significantly influence employee performance. This implies that while OCB is often considered a valuable aspect of employee behavior, it does not directly affect how well employees perform their tasks in this particular setting. Additionally, employee engagement does not significantly affect organizational citizenship behavior, indicating that engaged employees do not necessarily engage in extra-role behaviors like helping others or going beyond job requirements. The research also shows that job satisfaction does not have a significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior, which suggests that employees’ satisfaction with their work does not automatically lead to behaviors that contribute to the broader success of the organization. Furthermore, neither employee engagement nor job satisfaction significantly influences employee performance through organizational citizenship behavior, indicating that OCB does not serve as an effective moderator in these relationships. In conclusion, the main factor in improving employee performance is organizational citizenship behavior does not play a significant moderating role in this dynamic at the Tarokan District Office.

Background: Pregnant women with poor nutritional status are at risk of experiencing low breast milk production, which in turn can affect the fulfillment of infant nutrition from an early age. Suboptimal breast milk production impacts the growth and development of infants and has the potential to increase the incidence of malnutrition. Based on preliminary data in the Siti Hajar Room of Sultan Hadlirin Islamic Hospital, Jepara, it was found that several postpartum mothers experienced delayed breast milk production with a history of malnutrition. This condition shows the importance of maternal nutritional status during pregnancy as a factor that directly influences lactation. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and postpartum breast milk production in the Siti Hajar Room of Sultan Hadlirin Islamic Hospital, Jepara. Method: The study used a cross-sectional design with a total sampling technique. A total of 30 postpartum mothers were selected as respondents. The independent variable consisted of the nutritional status of pregnant women as measured by Body Mass Index (BMI), Upper Arm Circumference (LILA), and hemoglobin (Hb) levels. The dependent variable was postpartum breast milk production as observed clinically. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The results of the study showed a significant relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and breast milk production. Statistical tests found that BMI (p = 0.018), LiLA (p = 0.027), and Hb levels (p = 0.006) had a significant association with the adequacy of breast milk production. Conclusion: The nutritional status of pregnant women was proven to be closely related to postpartum breast milk production. Mothers with good nutritional status tend to produce sufficient breast milk production. This finding emphasizes the need for routine nutritional monitoring of pregnant women and nutritional education during pregnancy to support the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

This study looks into how customer happiness and taste affect Mie Pangsit Apilin's recurring business in Bireuen.  The investigation was carried out at Mie Pangsit Apilin in Bireuen using a quantitative approach.  Although the precise quantity is unknown, the population consists of all customers that bought Mie Pangsit Apilin goods in 2024.  One hundred people participated in the study.  The findings of the regression analysis show that hypothesis Ha1 is validated, suggesting that flavor influences repeat purchases to some extent.  This is demonstrated by a significance value of 0.005 < 0.05 and tcount > ttable at a 5% significance level (2.884 > 1.660). Similarly, tcount > ttable (4.180 > 1.660) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05 corroborate hypothesis Ha2, which demonstrates that part of the relationship between customer satisfaction and repeat purchases is positive.  Furthermore, hypothesis Ha3 is validated, showing that flavor and customer happiness work together to significantly influence repeat business at the same time.  While the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.490 indicates that 49% of the variance in repeat purchases can be explained by taste and customer satisfaction, with the remaining 51% influenced by factors not examined in this study, the correlation coefficient (R) of 0.700 shows a strong relationship between the independent variables and repeat purchases.

Homecare services are increasingly recognized as a preferred healthcare option because of their practicality, flexibility, and accessibility, especially for elderly patients and individuals with physical limitations who face difficulties in reaching health facilities. This study aims to examine the relationship between consumer, provider, sociocultural, and organizational factors with patients’ preferences in selecting homecare services. Employing a quantitative approach with a descriptive analytical design, data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test to determine the significance of each factor. The findings reveal that consumer-related aspects, such as personal needs, convenience, and trust (p = 0.005), along with sociocultural influences including social norms, cultural values, and family support (p < 0.001), have a significant relationship with patients’ choices of homecare services. In contrast, provider factors (p = 0.096) and organizational factors (p = 0.161) were found to have no significant impact on the decision-making process. These results suggest that patients’ decisions are primarily shaped by internal motivations and sociocultural environments rather than institutional or organizational elements. Thus, it is essential for healthcare providers to focus on understanding community needs, cultural practices, and patient expectations to ensure that the services offered are both relevant and acceptable. By integrating cultural sensitivity and consumer-oriented strategies, homecare services can become more effective, trusted, and widely utilized within the community.

At the higher education level, students are expected to develop independence in their learning process. One crucial aspect that influences the achievement of self-directed learning is the ability to manage time effectively. This study focuses on the relationship between time management and self-regulated learning among students of the Diploma Three in Nursing Program at Abulyatama University. The research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational design and a cross-sectional method. A total of 85 participants were selected through proportional random sampling from a population of 554 students. The instruments used were the Time Management Questionnaire (TMQ) with a Cronbach's Alpha reliability of 0.910, and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.909. Data collection took place within the Diploma Three in Nursing Program at Abulyatama University from April 26 to May 9, 2025.The results showed that the majority of students had a moderate level of time management, with 63 students (74.1%), and a high level with 22 students (25.9%). Meanwhile, the level of self-regulated learning among students was moderate in 59 students (69.4%) and high in 26 students (30.6%). Analysis using the Chi-Square test revealed a significant correlation between time management and self-regulated learning, as indicated by a p-value of 0.000 (p ≤ 0.05). These findings suggest that students who are skilled in time management are more likely to possess higher self-regulated learning abilities. It is hoped that the results of this study will enhance students' understanding of the importance of time management, thereby encouraging them to adopt a more structured, focused, and sustainable self-learning pattern. Time management skills are believed to be a foundational element in strengthening self-regulated learning in students’ academic activities.

These reviews serve as valuable feedback, influencing both the assessment of product quality and the establishment of consumer trust. In the context of Burger Bangor in Gianyar Regency, this study aims to examine the mediating role of trust in the relationship between online customer reviews and purchasing decisions. Using a purposive sampling technique, an online survey was distributed to 100 respondents who had previously purchased Burger Bangor products. The data collected were analyzed using path analysis to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings reveal that online customer reviews significantly influence purchasing decisions by positively enhancing consumer trust. Furthermore, trust itself was found to have a strong positive effect on purchasing decisions and partially mediates the relationship between online reviews and purchasing decisions. These results highlight the importance of effectively managing online customer reviews as they not only provide crucial information to potential buyers but also play a pivotal role in building trust, which in turn influences consumer purchasing behavior. For Burger Bangor, actively responding to and leveraging these reviews can be an essential strategy for improving customer trust and increasing purchase intentions, ultimately contributing to sustained competitiveness in the food and beverage industry.

Film and television play a central role in shaping and representing the cultural identity of society. Through artistic expertise manifested by directors, screenwriters, actors, cinematographers, and producers, cultural construction is presented not only as entertainment but also as a social discourse that reflects values, traditions, and the dynamics of collective identity.

The research methodology used is qualitative, employing content analysis and semiotics approaches on selected Indonesian films and TV series that highlight cultural aspects, such as Losmen Bu Broto and Gadis Kretek. These works were chosen because they feature rich local culture while reflecting the role of culture in the dynamics of Indonesian society. The findings indicate that artistic expertise plays a crucial role in constructing cultural representation, both through narrative, visual elements, music, and actors' performances. The representations produced not only affirm local and national identities but also reflect the process of cultural negotiation with global influences. This study underscores that film and television serve as strategic media for cultural diplomacy and the formation of collective identity awareness in Indonesian society. Through this process, these mediums contribute to the preservation of local culture amidst global cultural flows. The research highlights the importance of film and television as tools for maintaining and constructing cultural identity, where local traditions and values are both preserved and adapted to the changing global landscape.   

Patriarchy in the modern era still persists despite continuous efforts to achieve gender equality across various aspects of life, including education, the workplace, and social interactions. Its presence is often reinforced through mass media, particularly in television series. The drama series “Bid’ah” vividly portrays the impact of patriarchy on women’s lives, both in domestic settings and in the public sphere. This study aims to examine the extent to which exposure to the series “Bid’ah” influences viewers’ perceptions of patriarchy. This research employed a quantitative approach involving 100 undergraduate students from the Communication Science program at Universitas Bina Bangsa. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, where participants were selected based on specific criteria relevant to the research objectives. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale to measure the respondents’ perceptions. The data were then analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The findings indicate a significant influence between exposure to the series and viewers’ perceptions of patriarchy. This is evidenced by a correlation coefficient of 0.405 (p-value 0.000) and a coefficient of determination of 0.164. These results suggest that 16.4% of the variance in perceptions of patriarchy can be explained by exposure to the “Bid’ah” series, while 83.6% is influenced by other factors beyond this study. These findings highlight the important role of media in shaping social perceptions, particularly regarding gender norms and patriarchal values. This study contributes to the understanding of how media, especially television dramas, can both reinforce and challenge gender stereotypes, while also providing insights into the potential influence of media content on audiences’ attitudes toward gender equality.

This research examines the aesthetic value of the selendang (sash or shawl) worn by the sindhen (female singer) in wayang kulit purwa (Javanese shadow puppet) performances, and the shift in its meaning amidst the current of digitalization. The selendang, as an element of attire, functions not only as an aesthetic complement but is also laden with philosophical and symbolic meaning in Javanese culture. Traditionally, the selendang worn by a sindhen possesses aesthetic value that emanates from the choice of motifs, colors, and the way it is worn, reflecting elegance, social status, and spiritual depth. In performances, the selendang also serves as a dance prop that enhances movement and strengthens the sindhen's expression. The era of digitalization brings new challenges and opportunities for traditional performing arts, including wayang kulit purwa. This study employs a qualitative approach with literature review and observation of both live and digitally broadcasted wayang kulit performances. The results indicate that in the current digital era, a shift has occurred in several aesthetic aspects of the sindhen's selendang. There is a trend towards using more diverse and modern materials and motifs, sometimes adapting techniques like digital printing to create more visually appealing on-screen presentations. Nevertheless, the core values of the selendang as a symbol of refined character and artistic beauty are maintained, and even further explored to cater to a broader and more modern audience. The digitalization of the performance stage also influences the sindhen's interaction, where the selendang is sometimes used more dynamically
