Background: Brand loyalty reflects patients' tendency to continue using a hospital's services and recommend them to others. However, the decline in physiotherapy patient visits since the COVID-19 pandemic has affected hospital revenue, while brand image and digital marketing via Instagram are still underutilized. Most previous studies have addressed brand loyalty in general, while specific studies on physiotherapy units are still rare. Although many studies show that SMMA and brand image affect loyalty through brand trust, research specifically examining the role of brand reliability as a dimension of trust in healthcare services is still limited.Objective: This study fills this gap by examining the influence of SMMA, brand image, and brand reliability on brand loyalty in the context of physiotherapy services at Siaga Raya Orthopedic Hospital.Methods: This research uses quantitative methods with a purposive sampling technique on 120 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The study develops the SOR (Stimulus-Organism-Response) theoretical framework.Results: SMMA has a significant effect on brand loyalty both directly and through the mediation of brand reliability. In contrast, brand image requires brand reliability mediation to influence loyalty. Brand reliability proved to be an essential element in building patient loyalty.Implications: Hospitals need to design marketing strategies through social media and brand image that are not only attractive but also reflect service reliability to establish long-term relationships with patients.

The maritime industry operates in a complex, rapidly evolving global environment where decision-making accuracy is critical for operational efficiency, sustainability, and risk mitigation. Traditionally, maritime leadership has relied heavily on experience-based decision-making, often leading to cognitive biases and strategic inefficiencies. This study examines the role of scientific paradigms in managerial decision-making, emphasizing how structured epistemological reasoning enhances strategic accuracy and reduces decision-making errors. This research provides original value by addressing the limited integration of structured decision-making models in maritime leadership, which has been largely overlooked in previous studies. While scientific reasoning has transformed decision-making in industries such as finance and healthcare, its application in maritime management remains underdeveloped. The study explores the following research questions: To what extent do scientific paradigms influence managerial decision-making in maritime leadership? How can structured reasoning reduce bias and improve decision accuracy? Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with maritime experts, lecturers, and postgraduate students, followed by thematic analysis and comparative evaluation. Results indicate that structured decision frameworks significantly improve managerial effectiveness, yet barriers such as industry conservatism and limited competency development hinder widespread adoption. The study concludes that integrating scientific reasoning into maritime leadership training programs can enhance decision accuracy, promote evidence-based management, and ensure sustainable strategic planning.

This study explores the intersection of sacred water rituals and ecological awareness, examining how religious practices related to water shape environmental virtues and promote water conservation efforts. Various religious traditions, including Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and indigenous practices, treat water as a sacred resource, emphasizing its purity, sanctity, and the responsibility of humans to protect it. These rituals, such as Islamic ablution (wudhu), Christian baptism, and Hindu purification rites, not only serve spiritual purposes but also embody environmental ethics that encourage restraint, humility, and stewardship in the use of water. The study employs a comparative qualitative approach, integrating textual exegesis, ethnographic observations, and interviews with religious practitioners to analyze how different faith traditions frame water as sacred and how these frameworks translate into practical behaviors regarding water conservation. The findings reveal that religious water rituals contribute to an ecological self, fostering a deep respect for nature and a commitment to sustainable water use. However, challenges exist in reconciling traditional practices with modern water scarcity issues, especially in regions where water conservation is a critical concern. Despite these challenges, religious communities have the potential to leverage their ritual heritage to foster global awareness and action toward water conservation. Future research should explore interfaith collaborations in water conservation and investigate the impact of ritual practices on real-world water conservation behaviors. This study highlights the potential of sacred water rituals as powerful tools for promoting environmental stewardship and addressing global water challenges.
