This Study aims to analyze the effect of digital literacy and competence on employee productivity at PT PLN (Persero) Customer Service Unit (ULP) Takalar. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consists of all employees of PT PLN (Persero) ULP Takalar, and a census sampling technique was applied, meaning all members of the population were selected as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results indicate that digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on employee productivity. This means that the better the employees’ ability to understand and utilize digital technology, the higher their level of productivity. In contrast, employee competence was found to have a negative and significant effect on productivity. This finding suggests that increasing competence does not automatically lead to higher productivity if it is not supported by other relevant factors. These findings imply that improving competence without proper job placement, effective task management, and optimal utilization of skills may actually reduce employee productivity. Therefore, it is recommended that PT PLN (Persero) ULP Takalar not only enhance employees’ digital literacy and competence but also ensure alignment between competencies and job requirements through more effective human resource management in order to improve overall productivity

Abstract This study aims to analyze the legal basis and mechanisms for implementing Minimum Service Standards (MSS) in public service delivery in Indonesia. As a strategic instrument, the MSS is designed to ensure the fulfillment of citizens' constitutional rights through quality basic services. Using qualitative research methods with a juridical-normative approach, this study evaluates the extent to which the implementation of the MSS has been able to create equitable access to services and identifies crucial factors influencing its success. The results indicate that although the MSS has a solid legal basis through Law No. 23 of 2014 and Government Regulation No. 2 of 2018, the reality on the ground still shows significant gaps. Implementation of this policy is often hampered by low organizational capacity at the regional level, limited human resource (HR) competency, inaccurate sectoral data, and weak inter-institutional coordination. This study concludes that the effectiveness of the MSS is highly dependent on strengthening regional fiscal capacity, political commitment of leadership, and the integration of valid data-based planning. This is necessary to achieve social justice and equitable welfare within the framework of a welfare state in Indonesia.

Planning and improving the performance of educational organizations is a strategic issue that requires a managerial approach integrated with psychological aspects.

The results showed that organizational performance improvement is influenced by three main factors: structured human resource planning, effective organizational communication, and transformational leadership and work motivation as psychological factors. These findings indicate that integration between structural and psychological aspects plays a crucial role in improving organizational effectiveness. In conclusion, a management approach that integrates planning and psychological factors can improve the performance of educational organizations sustainably.

The empowerment of rural communities is a strategic effort to improve the well-being and economic self-reliance of communities in rural areas. One of the instruments developed by the government to support this objective is the establishment of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) as economic institutions managed by the village and the community in a participatory manner. This study aims to analyze the role of BUMDes in Semaran Village, Pauh Subdistrict, Sarolangun Regency, in empowering the rural community through the management of local potential, the development of productive business units, and the increase in community income. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and analysis of various business programs run by BUMDes. The results indicate that the Semaran Village Government plays a crucial role as a facilitator, initiator, mentor, and supervisor in the management of BUMDes Maju Bersama. The village government is involved in providing initial capital, institutional development, and training to enhance community capacity. Supporting factors for success include Village Fund support, visionary leadership from the Village Head, and active community participation. The main challenges faced include limited capital, a lack of business innovation, low human resource capacity, and limited market access. However, with effective and sustainable management, BUMDes have the potential to serve as a driving force for rural economic development as well as a means of inclusive and sustainable community empowerment.

This research aims to examine the provisions and status of probation as a principal punishment in the National Criminal Code, as well as its relevance to achieving the objectives of reforming the penal system in Indonesia. The research design employed is normative legal research using a legislative and conceptual approach. The data utilized consists of secondary data obtained through a literature review, analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques. The results of the research show that probation under Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code has been established as one of the principal penalties that can be directly imposed by a judge, thus no longer merely a component of conditional sentences as in the old Criminal Code. This regulation reflects a paradigm shift in sentencing from a retributive approach toward a rehabilitative and restorative approach by providing offenders with the opportunity to remain within the community under supervision. However, its implementation still faces challenges, including the absence of comprehensive technical regulations, potential conflicts of norms, and institutional limitations in carrying out supervision. Therefore, supervised probation holds significant relevance as a more humane sentencing alternative, although it requires strengthened regulations and a supervision system to ensure its effective and consistent application.

Human activities, from household to industrial operations, generate liquid waste that poses a threat to the environment. Before discharge, liquid waste should be treated to ensure it is safe for release into the environment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid ozonation-adsorption method with varying contact times. This study collected leachate samples from the Rajabasa Landfill and used fly ash from the Tarahan Coal-Fired Power Plant as the adsorbent. First, the study used contact times of 20, 40, 60, and 80 minutes for ozonation. Subsequently, the 80-minute sample proceeded to the adsorption stage and was ultimately tested against six parameters. The measured parameters included COD, TSS, TDS, turbidity, UV254, and DO. The results showed that the 80-minute ozonation process significantly reduced TSS, TDS, and DO levels. However, the ozonation process still left intermediate compounds, which were subsequently removed by adsorption. Ultimately, the combination of the two processes yields good results, particularly for COD and UV254. This aligns with the theory that ozonation breaks down complex compounds while the adsorbent absorbs residual pollutants. This hybrid process achieves a 45.47% reduction in COD and an 87.83% reduction in UV254.

The architecture of consumer decision-making has completely changed due to the quick development of recommendation systems based on artificial intelligence (AI). The majority of earlier studies saw algorithms as instruments for forecasting and maximizing preexisting preferences. This study, however, makes a different claim: algorithmic curation actively shapes preferences rather than just reflecting them. This study creates and evaluates a structural model that examines the impact of algorithmic curation intensity on perceived search autonomy, identity resonance, affective evaluation, and the development of initial preferences. The model is based on identity-based consumption theory and the literature on human-AI interaction. The study's findings, which are based on survey data from Generation Z consumers and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis, demonstrate a contradictory dynamic: algorithmic curation improves identity resonance and directly influences initial preferences while simultaneously decreasing feelings of autonomy. The primary mediating mechanism that links algorithmic exposure to emotional assessment and preference creation is identified as identity resonance. In addition to introducing the concept of algorithmic consumer formation as a new conceptual framework for comprehending consumer behavior in the AI-based digital era, our findings expand the notion of bounded rationality toward algorithmically bounded agency.

Organized cross-border crimes that deprive human rights, namely the Crime of Trafficking in Persons (TPPO), often use population migration routes as the main entry route. This research seeks to review how criminal law is applied to trafficking perpetrators who take advantage of immigration access, as well as uncover the obstacles that arise when law enforcement is carried out in the area of the Class II Immigration Office of TPI Belawan. This study adopts an empirical juridical approach with a qualitative analysis framework. Information collection was carried out through the review of regulatory documents and in-depth discussions with officials at the Class II Immigration Office of TPI Belawan. The research findings indicate that enforcement efforts against trafficking cases in the Belawan operational area rely on Law No. 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of Trafficking and Law No. 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration. It was identified that the modes of violation that often occur are falsification of travel documents and the abuse of residence permits to facilitate the sending of illegal migrant workers abroad. Significant obstacles faced include challenges in proving criminal elements, disconnection of the perpetrator network, and lack of synergy between law enforcement agencies in the port area. In closing, improving immigration surveillance capabilities and strengthening partnerships are important means to reduce the threat of human trafficking through the sea route in the Belawan area.

The study recommends structured training programs, innovation forums, mentoring, and institutional partnerships to develop more competitive HR capabilities.

The relocation of the Social Welfare Shelter Environment (Lingkungan Pondok Sosial/Liponsos) in Sidoarjo represents a strategic effort to address social and spatial issues characterized by overcapacity, limited facilities, and an inadequate living environment that does not fully support the physical and psychological needs of people with social welfare problems (PMKS). These conditions indicate that the challenges faced by Liponsos are not merely social in nature but are also closely related to the quality of the built environment, which significantly influences the rehabilitation and recovery process of its residents. Therefore, a human-centered design approach is required in planning social service facilities. This study aims to analyze the application of humanistic architecture principles in the planned relocation of the Sidoarjo Liponsos as a foundation for creating a more livable, dignified, and user-oriented environment. The research employs a literature review method by collecting data from relevant books, journals, regulations, and previous studies. The analysis is conducted using descriptive and content analysis to examine the relationship between humanistic architectural principles and the needs of residents within social welfare facilities. The results indicate that the humanistic architectural approach is highly relevant to the relocation of Liponsos, particularly through spatial zoning based on levels of privacy and security, the provision of green open spaces and communal areas as media for social interaction and therapeutic activities, and the design of self-development spaces that support rehabilitation and empowerment. The implementation of these principles is expected to create a built environment that not only fulfills basic functional requirements but also supports psychological recovery, social stability, and sustainable improvement in the quality of life of PMKS residents.  

This study aims to analyze digital transformation in public administration as a strategy to improve the efficiency and transparency of government services in Poso Regency. The study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods, sourced from various scientific literature, both national and international journals relevant to the research topic. The results show that digital transformation plays a significant role in improving the efficiency of public services through the automation of administrative processes, thereby accelerating service times and reducing the potential for human error. Furthermore, digital transformation also increases transparency and accountability through the openness of public information that is widely accessible to the public. However, the implementation of digital transformation in the regions still faces various challenges, such as limited technological infrastructure, low readiness and competence of human resources, and suboptimal system integration and data security. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed, including strengthening digital infrastructure, increasing the capacity of government officials, and optimizing open data-based policies. This research is expected to contribute to the development of sustainable digital transformation policies at the regional level.

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven numerous innovations in wireless communications that not only demand technical efficiency but also raise philosophical questions about the nature of scientific knowledge. One such innovation is Physical Layer Network Coding (PLNC), a communication technique that utilizes signal interference as a source of information to enhance system performance. This paper examines the philosophical dimensions of science within PLNC, focusing on three fundamental aspects: ontology, epistemology, and axiology. Ontologically, PLNC represents a new paradigm in wireless communication that reinterprets interference not merely as noise but as an opportunity. Epistemologically, knowledge of PLNC is derived through scientific methods such as mathematical modeling, experimentation, and simulation—yielding intersubjective and verifiable truths. Axiologically, PLNC holds practical value in terms of energy efficiency, data reliability, and contributions to the sustainability of IoT ecosystems, while also raising ethical considerations regarding privacy and information security. Thus, this study demonstrates that the development of PLNC cannot be separated from philosophical reflection, emphasizing the profound interconnection between technological advancement, scientific methodology, and human values.

From the beginning of creation, God had forbidden the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, warning that anyone who ate it would face death. However, this warning was ignored when Eve, tempted by Satan's persuasion, chose to disobey God's command. This action led to sin, as it reflected a wrong decision and went against God's will. Originally, Adam and Eve lived in a state of holiness and freedom from sin. God Himself stated that humans were created in His image and likeness, meaning they possessed a purity and nobility that reflected His love. However, their decision to eat the forbidden fruit removed that purity. As a result, humans were separated from God's holiness and fell into sin. This is the basis for the teaching affirmed in Romans 3:23, which states that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This wrong choice had profound consequences, illustrating the importance of obedience to God's commands for maintaining purity and an intimate relationship with Him.

Public services are a state obligation to meet the basic needs of the community and have a strong legal basis through various laws and regulations in Indonesia. However, in practice, the implementation of public services still faces various problems such as slow service processes, unclear procedures, lack of transparency in costs and service times, and maladministration. This study aims to analyze the gap between the normative concept of public services and their implementation in practice and to identify factors that influence the low quality of public services. The research method used is a qualitative approach with library research through analysis of various literature, laws and regulations, and data from public service supervisory agencies. The results show that the main problems in public services in Indonesia are related to the weak implementation of service standards, low transparency and accountability, and suboptimal professionalism of the apparatus. In addition, maladministration practices such as prolonged delays and procedural deviations are still common. Digital transformation through the implementation of e-government is one effort to improve service quality, although its implementation still faces obstacles in human resources, infrastructure, and bureaucratic culture. Therefore, strengthening public service governance, increasing transparency, and optimizing oversight are necessary to ensure public services are more effective, accountable, and oriented toward the public interest.

Management of hazardous and toxic waste (B3) in hospitals is an important aspect of maintaining environmental health and preventing pollution risks. RSUD Jenderal Ahmad Yani Metro has implemented hazardous waste management using the reduce, reuse, recycle (3R) concept; however, its implementation has never been comprehensively evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the management of hazardous waste using the 3R concept at RSUD Jenderal Ahmad Yani Metro based on the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. P.56/Menlhk-Setjen/2015 and to identify the supporting factors. This research used a qualitative design with a case study approach. The research informants consisted of 23 participants selected using purposive sampling, including the hospital director, ward heads, IPCN, sanitation officers, 3R waste management officers, and sanitation operators. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document review using interview guidelines and checklists. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the transportation, storage, and processing stages of hazardous waste management were in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. P.56/Menlhk-Setjen/2015. However, the sorting and containerization processes were not fully compliant because recyclable waste was still mixed with other hazardous waste. In addition, several supporting factors were identified, including the lack of training and certification among human resources, inadequate infrastructure, and the absence of technical guidelines and standard operating procedures for the 3R waste bank. Therefore, improving human resource capacity, infrastructure, and internal hospital regulations is necessary to optimize 3R-based hazardous waste management.

This study aims to analyze how human development governance is implemented by the Government of South Sulawesi Province in reducing regional disparities, identify institutional factors influencing implementation quality, and examine its implications for human development outcomes. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews with key informants from the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) and relevant Regional Apparatus Organizations, analysis of regional planning documents such as RPJMD and RKPD, and statistical data from the Central Bureau of Statistics related to the Human Development Index (HDI), poverty, and employment. Data were analyzed thematically using triangulation to ensure validity of findings. The results show that the Human Development Index has been positioned as a key performance indicator in regional development planning documents and prioritized in education and health sector policies. Although overall HDI achievement in South Sulawesi is categorized as high, significant disparities remain across regencies and municipalities, particularly in education and standard of living. A poverty rate of 8.06 percent and the increasing trend of the Gini Ratio indicate that distribution of welfare has not been fully equitable. Furthermore, the dominance of the informal sector in the employment structure reflects challenges related to job quality, income stability, and limited social protection coverage. These findings suggest that the main challenge of human development in South Sulawesi lies not only in improving aggregate indicators but also in strengthening bureaucratic capacity, cross-sectoral coordination, and policy implementation consistency to ensure more inclusive and equitable development across regions.

This study aims to analyze the governance of health service policies in improving the quality of public services in Semarang City. Health services are one of the essential sectors in public service delivery that require policies which are effective, transparent, and responsive to community needs. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method to understand the processes of policy formulation, implementation, and coordination among actors in the governance of health service policies. Data were collected through literature review, policy documentation, and analysis of health service delivery practices at the local government level. The results indicate that the governance of health service policies in Semarang City has undergone several improvement efforts through the strengthening of regulations, enhanced inter-agency coordination, and the utilization of health service innovations. However, several challenges remain, such as limited resources, inequality in service access, and the need to improve the quality of human resources in the health sector. Therefore, strengthening policy governance that is more collaborative, accountable, and community-oriented is necessary to sustainably improve the quality of health services. This study is expected to contribute to the development of public policy, particularly in the field of regional health service delivery.

Stunting is one of the chronic nutritional problems that remains a major challenge in health development in Indonesia. This condition not only affects children’s physical growth but also influences cognitive development, productivity, and the quality of human resources in the future. The government has developed various policies to accelerate the reduction of stunting through specific and sensitive intervention approaches implemented in an integrated manner across sectors. Semarang, as one of the urban areas in Indonesia, has also implemented these policies through various health, nutrition, sanitation, and community empowerment programs. This study aims to analyze the policies of specific and sensitive interventions in addressing stunting in Semarang and to identify factors influencing the effectiveness of their implementation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a policy study method through document analysis, observation, and interviews with relevant stakeholders such as the health office, community health centers, and other local government agencies. Data analysis was conducted descriptively by examining program integration, inter-agency coordination, and community participation in policy implementation. The results show that the implementation of specific and sensitive intervention policies in Semarang has been carried out through various programs such as maternal and child nutrition services, improved access to sanitation, health education, and family empowerment. However, several challenges remain, including suboptimal cross-sector coordination, limited resources, and varying levels of public understanding regarding stunting prevention. Therefore, strengthening policy governance, improving synergy among institutions, and enhancing community participation are necessary to ensure that efforts to accelerate stunting reduction can be implemented more effectively and sustainably.
