This study aims to analyze the interest of residents of Semarang City in using the Trans Jateng service and to identify the factors that influence this interest. The background of this study is the low proportion of residents switching to public transportation despite the availability of the Trans Jateng service. This research adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing a survey method to collect data, which is then processed using SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that factors such as service quality (including service, comfort, and safety), fare perception, and stop access significantly influence the interest of residents in using Trans Jateng. These findings are valuable for understanding the factors that drive the adoption of public transportation in urban areas. The novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on Semarang City and the integration of resident interest variables with the relatively new Trans Jateng service in the region. The study’s implications offer practical recommendations for public transport operators to improve fare policies, enhance promotional strategies, and optimize modal integration to encourage greater use of public transportation.

The size of the company as a moderator in defining the correlation between capital structure, profit, and firm value is the focus of this study. Adopting a quantitative associative approach, this research focuses on the non-cyclical consumer sector registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2023. Of the 125 companies, 73 were purposively selected to create the research sample, yielding 292 observations after excluding entities with incomplete data and those with special monitoring status. The authors gathered secondary data from audited yearly financial reports through the IDX portal and corporate websites. The analysis used quasi-moderation techniques by combining independent variables, moderation, and interaction in a single regression model, processed through EViews 13. The research results show that capital structure has a significant positive impact on firm value, while profitability has no significant impact. Firm size has been shown to affect the relationship that exists between capital structure and firm value, but it does not moderate the association between profitability and firm value. These findings confirm that leverage’s effectiveness in increasing firm value is independent of company size and that profitability is not a primary determinant in this context. This research provides empirical evidence to advance capital structure theory and to inform executives’ strategic financial decisions and investors’ evaluations of corporate outlooks.

Every year, companies are required to prepare financial reports that include information on their financial condition, performance, and cash flow. This report demonstrates management's accountability for the resources they manage. One of the most important elements in this report is profit. This profit figure is closely monitored by report users, as it is considered a key measure of management's achievements and performance. However, in their financial management, manufacturing companies often face problems related to earnings management practices. Earnings management is an attempt by company management to manipulate or arrange financial reports, especially profits, for specific purposes. This practice can be carried out to demonstrate better financial performance, meet market targets, or reduce tax burdens. The purpose of this study is to determine the determinants of earnings management, such as intellectual capital, inflation, and third-party funds. This study utilizes information taken from the financial reports of manufacturers listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) using a purposive sampling method that meets the exploratory steps. This research period was taken over three years, with 78 observations used from 26 manufacturing companies. This research method used Eviews 12 with secondary data types. The results of the study show that there is a positive influence between intellectual capital on profit management, and there is no influence of inflation on profit management, and third party funds do not have a significant influence on profit management..

This research aimed to analyze the impact of the Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM) Mekaar Program on the development of micro enterprises in the PNM Cintika Kamelin Indah Group in Alok Subdistrict, Sikka Regency. The research used a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Based on Miles and Huberman’s data analysis technique, which involves data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the PNM Mekaar Program played an important role in supporting the growth of group members’ micro businesses through capital provision, the establishment of social networks, and the enhancement of member discipline and responsibility (through a joint liability system). Weekly meetings functioned as spaces for sharing business experiences and promoting products among members. Based on the results, the program generally had a positive impact on increasing income and the welfare of members’ families, improving business quality, and enhancing group solidarity. This research was expected to provide theoretical contributions regarding the effectiveness of microfinance programs in empowering small businesses, as well as practical input for PNM to improve its business mentoring strategies.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, liquidity, and asset structure on the capital structure of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period, with firm size as a moderating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from financial statements. The sample was determined through a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 27 banking companies that met the criteria. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results reveal that profitability has a negative and significant effect on capital structure, indicating that banks with higher profitability tend to reduce their dependence on external financing. In contrast, liquidity and asset structure do not have a significant effect on capital structure, suggesting that these factors are less influential in determining debt policy within the banking sector. Furthermore, the MRA results demonstrate that firm size moderates the relationship between profitability and capital structure, implying that larger firms can better manage internal funds to reduce leverage. However, firm size does not moderate the effects of liquidity and asset structure on capital structure. These findings contribute to understanding capital structure determinants in the Indonesian banking industry.

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders in the elderly, characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, chronic pain, joint stiffness, and reduced functional capacity. In Indonesia, the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is notably high, affecting over 30% of individuals aged above 60 years. This condition leads to significant health burdens, impaired quality of life, and increased economic costs. Non-pharmacological management strategies such as hydrotherapy and quadriceps exercise are widely recommended to relieve pain and improve joint function. Hydrotherapy utilizes the physical properties of water including buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, viscosity, and warmth to reduce joint loading, enhance circulation, and promote relaxation. Quadriceps exercise, on the other hand, focuses on strengthening the quadriceps muscle to stabilize the knee joint, thereby reducing pain and improving functionality. The combination of these two interventions is expected to provide greater benefits than a single modality. Research Design: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post test approach on 12 elderly respondents with knee osteoarthritis at OSF Magdalena Daemen BSB Convent. Pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after the intervention, which consisted of hydrotherapy and quadriceps exercise administered twice a week for four weeks. Results: The findings showed a decrease in the mean pain score from 4.42 to 3.08, with the Wilcoxon test yielding p = 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in pain levels before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The combination of hydrotherapy and quadriceps exercise is effective in reducing pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can be identified through both electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography, with echocardiography recognized as the gold standard for the assessment of LVH. This imaging modality determines the presence of LVH by evaluating the left ventricular mass index (LVMI). For diagnostic purposes, LVH is defined in males as a left ventricular mass index greater than 115 g/m² and in females as greater than 95 g/m². Despite the high accuracy of echocardiography in diagnosing LVH, access to this examination is not universal across all healthcare facilities. Consequently, electrocardiography, a widely available, non-invasive, and cost-effective diagnostic tool, serves as an alternative for the diagnosis of LVH. Several criteria exist for the electrocardiographic assessment of LVH, including the Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell voltage criteria. However, the sensitivity of these electrocardiographic methods remains relatively low, with reported sensitivities of 17% for the Sokolow-Lyon criteria and 35% for the Cornell criteria. In left ventricular hypertrophy, the interstitium experiences changes characterized by fibrosis and other deposits. These alterations can reduce the expression of hypertrophic myocardial tension and limit the diagnostic capabilities of surface electrocardiograms. Additionally, several factors influence electrical tension, including variations in chest wall thickness, heart muscle activity, the distance of the electrode from the left ventricle, and lung activity. The presence of these limiting factors can increase the rate of false negatives in diagnosis. In 2017, Peguero and Lo Presti introduced novel criteria for the diagnosis of LVH, defined by evaluating the deepest S wave and summing it with the S wave in lead V4. According to these new criteria, LVH is identified as ≥ 2.8 mV in men and ≥ 2.3 mV in women. The Peguero-Lo Presti criteria demonstrate improved sensitivity when compared to traditional criteria such as Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell, offering enhanced diagnostic accuracy.

This study discusses the regulatory arrangement and investment climate in East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT) as a strategic effort to increase investment attractiveness. Although it has great potential in the agriculture, fisheries, and tourism sectors, investment development in NTT has not been optimal due to overlapping regulations, complex bureaucracy, and lack of efficiency in licensing services. Based on the Stufenbau theory from Hans Kelsen, synchronization between Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2025 and Law Number 25 of 2007 is needed so that there are no conflicts or legal vacancies that can hinder the certainty of doing business. In addition, local governments have implemented various strategies to improve the investment climate, such as improving basic infrastructure, simplifying bureaucracy, promoting regional potential, developing human resources, and strengthening security and order. Other efforts are also being made through the digitization of licensing services and cooperation with the private sector to expand investment networks. Thus, an integrated regulatory and policy arrangement is expected to be able to create a competitive and sustainable investment climate in the NTT region.

Kidney trauma is a relatively common urological injury, often resulting from high-speed motor vehicle accidents, falls, or violent incidents. The kidneys are vulnerable to both blunt and penetrating trauma, with blunt mechanisms accounting for approximately 90% of all renal injuries. This paper reviews the anatomy of the kidney, mechanisms of injury, classification according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), diagnostic evaluation, imaging modalities, and current management strategies. Most renal traumas are managed conservatively based on hemodynamic stability, while surgical exploration is indicated in severe or vascular injuries. Understanding the mechanism of injury and applying appropriate diagnostic evaluations are essential to determine the correct management approach and improve patient outcomes. Moreover, advancements in imaging techniques, such as CT scans, have significantly improved the accuracy of diagnosing renal injuries. Early intervention and appropriate monitoring are crucial in preventing complications such as hemorrhage or renal failure. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of renal trauma management to aid clinicians in improving patient care and optimizing recovery.

Pleural effusion is the accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity, which is a common clinical condition requiring rapid and accurate diagnosis. Imaging modalities such as chest X-ray and ultrasound (USG) of the chest play a crucial role in identifying and evaluating this condition. Chest X-ray remains the most widely used initial screening tool due to its availability and ease of use. However, chest USG offers higher sensitivity, especially in detecting small effusions, assessing fluid characteristics, and guiding diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Additionally, USG provides real-time imaging, enhancing the safety and effectiveness of interventions such as aspiration or drainage. Although both modalities are important, USG provides more detailed information, particularly in evaluating more complex pleural fluid conditions. This review discusses the latest evidence regarding the sensitivity, specificity, advantages, and limitations of both imaging techniques. Understanding the complementary roles of chest X-ray and USG is essential for optimizing diagnostic strategies, ultimately improving clinical outcomes and enabling more effective management of pleural effusion.

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a degenerative condition of the knee joint characterized by the thinning of cartilage, leading to friction between the femur and tibia. This condition results in pain, limited joint mobility, and reduced strength of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in reducing these symptoms through modality-based approaches and structured exercise therapy. This study is a case study involving a single patient with right knee osteoarthritis. Data were collected through direct observation and evaluation of therapeutic outcomes. Interventions were conducted over four sessions using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to reduce pain, Ultrasound to enhance blood circulation and reduce inflammation, and exercise therapy focusing on improving muscle strength and joint range of motion. After four therapy sessions, there was a reduction in pain intensity, improved strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings, and increased joint range of motion. These results demonstrate that the combination of TENS, ultrasound, and exercise therapy is effective in improving function and quality of life for patients with right knee osteoarthritis. This study emphasizes the importance of a multimodal physiotherapy approach in managing chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

The rapid growth of online transportation services has significantly transformed urban mobility patterns, including in Abepura District, Jayapura City. This study is grounded in the concept of smart mobility, which emphasizes technological integration, efficiency, and accessibility within the smart city framework. The theoretical foundation draws on consumer preference theory and the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) model. A quantitative approach was applied through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents, supported by secondary data on digital infrastructure and local transport regulations. The analytical methods included conjoint analysis to identify user preferences, CSI analysis to assess smart mobility readiness, and spatial analysis to map infrastructure support. The findings indicate that fare and safety are the most influential attributes shaping user preferences, followed by application usability, transport mode, and travel time. Maxim emerged as the most widely used application, followed by Grab and Gojek. The CSI score reached 77.60%, categorized as “highly ready,” though gaps remain in intermodal integration and waiting time efficiency. Spatial analysis confirmed that the coverage of 16 BTS towers in Abepura adequately supports online transportation operations. In conclusion, online transportation services in Abepura District demonstrate strong readiness to support the implementation of smart mobility, yet further improvements are needed in modal integration and operational efficiency to ensure sustainable and inclusive urban mobility.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease whose exact cause is not yet fully understood. This condition is characterized by damage to the articular cartilage, resulting in pain, joint stiffness, decreased muscle strength, muscle spasms, and reduced functional activity of the patient. Several factors contribute to the development of osteoarthritis, including age, gender, race, genetic factors, smoking habits, history of trauma, type of occupation or physical activity, exercise habits, and obesity. The prevalence of osteoarthritis increases with age; among individuals aged 65–74 years, approximately 39% experience knee osteoarthritis and 23% experience hip osteoarthritis. In those over 70 years old, almost all individuals, both men and women, show symptoms of this condition. Osteoarthritis is a chronic progressive disease characterized by inflammation of the articular cartilage and synovial membrane, which causes persistent pain, joint stiffness, decreased muscle strength, and reduced mobility. Physiotherapy management for this condition aims to reduce pain, improve muscle strength, and enhance joint function. Common therapeutic modalities used include Shortwave Diathermy (SWD), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), and the Hold Relax exercise technique, which helps relax muscles and increase joint range of motion

This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity, firm size, and capital structure on firm value in the banking sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. The background of this research lies in the crucial role of the banking sector in maintaining national economic stability and the need for investors to access financial information that accurately reflects a company’s value. Referring to signaling theory, financial reports are viewed as signals to investors regarding the firm’s prospects and performance. This study employs a quantitative method using secondary data from the annual financial reports of nine banks selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 45 observations. The independent variables include liquidity (Loan to Deposit Ratio), firm size (log of total assets), and capital structure (Debt to Equity Ratio), while the dependent variable is firm value measured by the Price to Book Value (PBV). Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with SPSS. The results show that firm size has a significant positive effect on firm value, while liquidity and capital structure have no significant impact. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly affect firm value, with an Adjusted R² of 0.493. These findings highlight that effective asset management and optimal funding policies are key to enhancing the firm value of banking institutions in Indonesia.
