The development of digital technology has transformed interpersonal interaction patterns through online dating applications such as Tinder. Even though the use of Tinder in Indonesia has increased significantly, there are striking differences in communication styles between male and female users in managing these digital relationships. This study aims to analyze in depth the communication style of men as Tinder users in the digital dating search process. Using the framework of four main communication styles: emotive, director, reflective, and supportive style traits, this research explores how men navigate interactions that lack verbal cues and are asynchronous. The research method used is phenomenology by collecting data through participatory observation in the application and in-depth interviews with five male informants who are active Tinder users. The results of the study show that each informant applies different communication styles to build comfort and a positive self-image (selective self-presentation) to achieve their romantic goals. These findings identify that variations in men's communication styles are influenced by risk perception, privacy management, and self-presentation strategies in digital spaces. This research contributes to the literature on computer-mediated communication (CMC) in the context of online dating dynamics in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the symbolic meaning of the mangulosi tradition in Toba Batak traditional wedding ceremonies using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected from visual media such as YouTube and TikTok, supported by informants familiar with Toba Batak culture. The findings reveal that meaning in the mangulosi tradition is constructed through three levels of signification: denotation, connotation, and myth. At the denotative level, mangulosi is understood as the act of giving ulos in a wedding ceremony. At the connotative level, ulos and the ritual process convey symbolic meanings such as blessings, protection, harmony, and the strengthening of social and kinship relationships. At the myth level, the tradition reinforces the cultural ideology that marriage is considered legitimate when it receives recognition and blessings from family and customary authorities. Quantitatively, the findings show that artifacts are dominated by visual connotative meanings (40%), while ritual actions emphasize non-verbal (30%) and verbal (20%) meanings. Therefore, the mangulosi tradition is not only a ceremonial practice but also a medium for preserving cultural identity and social values within the Toba Batak community.

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing through Instagram on purchasing decisions at UMKM Jamu Bu Bekti in Karawang Regency. The research uses a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to consumers who have seen or purchased the products. The data analysis technique applied is regression analysis to examine the relationship between marketing content and promotional variables on consumer purchasing decisions.The results show that marketing content shared on Instagram does not have a significant effect on purchasing decisions. However, the content is considered quite attractive, informative, and helpful in providing product information to consumers. On the other hand, promotion has a positive and significant impact on increasing consumer interest and encouraging purchasing decisions. This indicates that consumers are more responsive to promotional strategies such as discounts, bonuses, or special offers rather than relying solely on content quality.These findings suggest that promotional strategies play a crucial role in digital marketing, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Therefore, business owners are advised to focus more on creating attractive, creative, and targeted promotional activities on social media to boost sales. This study is expected to contribute to the development of more effective, efficient, and sustainable digital marketing strategies for SMEs in the future.

The development of MSMEs in the traditional food sector requires business actors to increase production capacity. MSME Gethuk Lindri Niki Eco plans to build a larger facility to meet increasing demand. However, the layout planning is still based on rough drawings and experience, which can lead to inefficient material movement. This study aims to provide an overview of recommendations for a more efficient production facility layout using the CRAFT method. The research method involves collecting data on production processes, departmental areas, and material movement frequency. Moreover, an Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) is compiled to identify the close relationships among departments. The results of the analysis are visualized with a Block Plan. Furthermore, the layout is optimized using the CRAFT method. The results show that the recommended layout reduces the total material movement distance from 60.96 meters to 58.19 meters or a reduction of 4.53%. In addition, material handling costs also decreased from Rp. 780.64 to Rp. 766.19 or a savings of 1.85%. Thus, the application of the CRAFT method resulted in a more efficient production layout at the Gethuk Lindri Niki Eco MSME.

Verbal sexual harassment among adolescents is a form of non-physical violence that is often overlooked, yet it has significant impacts on psychological health and social development. Parenting style is suspected to be one of the factors influencing adolescents' vulnerability to verbal sexual harassment. This study aims to examine the relationship between parenting styles and the occurrence of verbal sexual harassment among adolescents at SMKN Widang. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 166 participants selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires on parenting styles and verbal sexual harassment. Data analysis was conducted using the Contingency Coefficient test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents experienced democratic parenting (70.5%). The incidence of verbal sexual harassment was most frequently reported in the “often” category (43.4%) and “sometimes” category (42.2%). Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between parenting styles and the occurrence of verbal sexual harassment. Permissive parenting was associated with a relatively higher risk. Therefore, the implementation of democratic parenting and open communication is recommended as preventive efforts.

The majority of respondents were male (38 people) and the highest number was found in the 18-59 age range (48 people) (85.7%). Regarding ventilation conditions, 34 people (60.7%) did not meet adequate ventilation requirements, and 29 homes (51.8%) did not meet adequate lighting requirements. There was a relationship between ventilation conditions and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Glugur Darat Community Health Center work area, but there was no relationship between home lighting and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Glugur Darat Community Health Center work area.

Anxiety during the third trimester of pregnancy is a prevalent perinatal mental health issue that can adversely affect maternal well-being and preparedness for labor. Psychosocial factors, particularly partner support, are recognized as important in alleviating anxiety; however, empirical evidence at the primary healthcare level in Indonesia is still limited. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between partner support and anxiety levels among third-trimester pregnant women receiving care at the Momalia Community Health Centre. A quantitative analytical approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study involved 60 third-trimester pregnant women selected through total sampling. Partner support was assessed using a structured social support questionnaire, while maternal anxiety was measured using a standardized, valid, and reliable instrument. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics, with the relationship between variables tested using the Chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05. The results revealed a statistically significant association between partner support and maternal anxiety (p < 0.05). Women who reported higher levels of partner support tended to experience lower anxiety, whereas those with inadequate support showed higher levels of moderate to severe anxiety. In conclusion, partner support serves as a protective factor against anxiety during late pregnancy. Integrating husbands’ involvement into antenatal care programs is essential to enhance maternal mental health outcomes.

In conclusion, a management approach that integrates planning and psychological factors can improve the performance of educational organizations sustainably.

This study examines the relationship between organizational culture and the sustainability of public service innovation within government bureaucracy. Although many public service innovations show positive results in the initial stages, many do not sustain in the long term. This indicates the presence of fundamental factors affecting innovation sustainability, one of which is organizational culture. Organizational culture plays a role in shaping the behavior, values, and work methods of civil servants in providing services to the public. This study aims to analyze the role of organizational culture in supporting or hindering the sustainability of public service innovations. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this study analyzes 20 relevant scientific articles from 2002 to 2025. The results indicate that hierarchical, rigid, and administratively-oriented organizational cultures hinder innovation sustainability. Other factors such as low leadership support, limited incentives, and resistance to change also strengthen these barriers. Conversely, an open, collaborative, and adaptive organizational culture to change enhances the likelihood of innovation sustainability. In conclusion, the success of public service innovations is greatly influenced by the organizational culture underlying the behavior of civil servants. Therefore, transforming organizational culture to be more innovative and adaptive is a strategic step to strengthen the sustainability of innovation.

This study aims to explore the shift in students' ethical paradigms regarding the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its relationship to the phenomenon of plagiarism. Using a qualitative approach with the theoretical frameworks of Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Pierre Bourdieu's Habitus, this study examines how AI technology is changing the nature of scientific work. The results show the normalization of AI use as a new "digital habitus," where 83% of students consider AI a legitimate research tool, but on the other hand, it creates a condition of "Aesthetics Without Substance." The main findings reveal a reduction in originality where academic honesty is only measured through technical scores (such as Turnitin), rather than intellectual depth. The comparison between authentic and AI-based writing indicates the risk of systemic intellectual atrophy. In conclusion, this study recommends the need for a redesign of educational evaluation systems that focus on processes and verbal dialectics to mitigate the impact of pseudo-competence on college graduates.

This study aimed to analyze the effect of credit risk on profitability with liquidity as a mediating variable in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2022–2024. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Secondary data were obtained from annual financial statements, and the sample consisted of 31 banking companies selected through purposive sampling from a total of 47 companies. The research variables included credit risk as the independent variable, profitability proxied by Return on Assets (ROA) as the dependent variable, and liquidity proxied by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) as the mediating variable. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through the assessment of the measurement model and the structural model. The results indicated that credit risk did not affect profitability and did not affect liquidity, while liquidity affected profitability. The findings also demonstrated that liquidity did not mediate the relationship between credit risk and profitability. The study implied that liquidity management played an important role in supporting bank profitability, whereas the influence of credit risk on profitability during the study period was likely driven by other factors outside the proposed model. This study provided empirical evidence on banking performance dynamics in 2022–2024; however, generalization should have been made cautiously due to the limited observation period and the variables included.

Menstrual cycle irregularities are a prevalent reproductive health issue among adolescent girls, often linked to dietary imbalances that contribute to hormonal disruption and nutrient deficiencies. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and menstrual cycles among female students at Ambassador High School. A cross-sectional design was employed with stratified random sampling, involving 30 female students. Data were collected using structured questionnaires covering dietary patterns (frequency, food types, nutritional intake, and eating habits) and menstrual cycle characteristics (regularity, duration, and complaints). The Chi-Square test was used to assess associations between variables at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results indicated that 56.7% of respondents had unbalanced diets characterized by high fast-food consumption, low fruit and vegetable intake, and frequent meal skipping. Menstrual cycle irregularities were reported in 60% of respondents. Statistical analysis revealed a Chi-Square value of 4.420 with a p-value of 0.035, confirming a significant relationship between diet and menstrual cycle. Cross-tabulation showed that 76.5% of students with unbalanced diets experienced irregular cycles compared to 38.5% with balanced diets. These findings highlight the importance of nutrition education and healthy food provision in schools to support adolescent reproductive health.

This study aims to examine the extent to which taxpayers’ attitudes toward e-filing influence tax compliance, with the implementation of e-filing positioned as a mediating variable among employees of PT Selalu Cinta Indonesia (SCI) registered at the Primary Tax Office (KPP Pratama) of Salatiga City. The population comprised 18,244 employees, from which a sample of 100 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Data were processed and analyzed using simple linear regression and path analysis. The results indicate that attitudes toward e-filing have a significant effect on taxpayer compliance (t = 7.708; sig. < 0.001) and also significantly influence the level of e-filing implementation (t = 7.644; sig. < 0.001). Furthermore, the implementation of e-filing has a significant impact on taxpayer compliance (t = 150.765; sig. < 0.001). Additional findings reveal that e-filing implementation acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between attitudes toward e-filing and taxpayer compliance, with a total effect value of 1.225. Overall, these findings reinforce the Theory of Planned Behavior framework, which posits that positive attitudes toward a system can foster the formation of specific behaviors, particularly in the context of tax compliance.

This study explores the dynamics of children’s character formation within Christian families in the digital era from the perspective of church parents. Employing a descriptive light mixed-methods design, the study integrates survey data and semi-structured interviews to obtain both quantitative and qualitative insights. The findings indicate that digital media has become an integral and unavoidable part of family life, making children’s character formation highly dependent on parental guidance, reflective communication, and consistent faith-based education at home. Parents face various challenges related to time constraints, limited digital literacy, and the increasing exposure of children to external values that may not align with Christian teachings. At the same time, many parents actively utilize technology as a supportive and accessible tool for spiritual learning and moral development. The study concludes that character formation is shaped not merely by technology itself but more significantly by the quality of family relationships and parental role modeling grounded in Christian values. Therefore, the findings recommend strengthening faith-based digital literacy among parents and enhancing church–family collaboration to foster more holistic, balanced, and sustainable character development in children.

This study analyzes the performance of the Dual Modulus RSA algorithm in securing text data using Python. The rapid growth of digital technology has increased the risk of data security threats, making efficient and secure encryption essential. Dual Modulus RSA is a modification of the classic RSA algorithm that uses two different moduli in the encryption and decryption process, thus increasing security levels because attackers must factorize two moduli simultaneously. This research uses an experimental quantitative approach by measuring the execution time of encryption and decryption processes with variations in plaintext length (5, 10, and 15 characters). Implementation was carried out using Python 3 with the time.perf_counter() function for microsecond-precision measurement. The results show that the Dual Modulus RSA algorithm successfully encrypts and decrypts all test plaintexts correctly. Encryption time ranged from 0.0212 ms to 0.0823 ms, while decryption time ranged from 0.0422 ms to 0.0955 ms. There is a positive linear relationship between plaintext length and processing time. Decryption is consistently slower than encryption due to the larger private key exponent (d1=2753, d2=3533) compared to the public exponent (e=17). The main factors affecting performance are exponent size, dual modulus overhead, CPU caching effects, and Python interpretation overhead. This study recommends using Dual Modulus RSA with hybrid encryption for practical implementation to balance security and performance.

The study aims to analyze in greater depth the influence of work motivation and employee loyalty on employee performance at PT ABC. This research employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory design intended to systematically explain the relationships among variables. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires using a Likert scale (1–5) to employees with a minimum of one year of tenure, as they are considered to have an adequate understanding of organizational conditions. Data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 4 software to obtain more accurate and comprehensive results. The findings indicate that all research indicators have met the established validity and reliability criteria. The structural model test shows that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (β = 0.207; p = 0.007), and employee loyalty also has a positive and significant effect (β = 0.718; p = 0.000). The R-square value of 0.753 indicates that both variables are able to explain 75.3% of the variation in employee performance. These findings emphasize that work motivation and employee loyalty play important roles in improving performance, with loyalty being the most dominant factor influencing employee performance.

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.
