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.

Bluru Kidul Village is an area located near the northeastern coast of Sidoarjo, where its geographical position provides significant benefits for the community. Consequently, the majority of residents work as fishermen and live side by side with the marine ecosystem. Due to the existence of Bluru Kidul Village, Sidoarjo City is often referred to as a fisheries or coastal city. The fish resources in these waters are dominated by small pelagic fish, large pelagic fish, and demersal fish. One of the most widely used fishing gears is the gill net. This study applied treatments with soaking durations of 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours. The objectives of this research were to identify the composition of gill net catches, analyze the effect of different soaking times on gill net catches, and determine the optimal soaking duration for catching Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger) using gill nets. Data analysis was conducted using statistical methods, including analysis of variance (ANOVA) and normality tests to ensure data suitability. To determine whether soaking duration had a significant effect, a further statistical test, namely the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test, was applied to identify which soaking time produced the best catch of Indian mackerel. The results indicated that there were significant differences in catch variables between the 4-hour treatment and the 3-hour and 2-hour treatments, whereas the difference between the 3-hour and 2-hour treatments was not significant. This finding demonstrates that the 4-hour soaking duration resulted in significantly different catch outcomes compared to the 3-hour and 2-hour durations, but no significant difference was observed between the 3-hour and 2-hour treatments.

In the Candi Village community, there is still a phenomenon of a lack of awareness in understanding, exploring, and experiencing the historical values contained in Gedong Songo Temple. This condition has implications for the less than optimal use of historical sites as educational facilities and media for forming local cultural identity. Efforts to increase historical awareness are considered more effective if instilled from an early age through a contextual and applied educational approach. This study focused on students of SDN Candi 03, most of whom come from four hamlets around the area, namely Talun, Nglarangan, Ngipik, and Ndarum. The community service program designed aims to provide solutions to the partner's priority problem, namely low historical awareness among students, through the application of educational tourism and Project Based Learning (PjBL) methods. Educational tourism is positioned as a learning strategy that integrates recreational and educational aspects, allowing students to gain firsthand experience in interpreting historical sites.

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: Nurses are the most dominant health workers in hospitals including inpatient installations. This dominance tends to have an impact on the main focus of the community including patients.

It is expected that the measurement of nurse performance with patient satisfaction will be carried out periodically, a maximum of once a year to evaluate nursing services.

Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation, faces considerable challenges in meeting its food requirements in accordance with Law No. 18 of 2012 on Food Security. The country’s heavy reliance on wheat imports, ranking as the largest wheat importer globally, highlights the urgency of diversifying local food sources. This study aims to explore the utilization of jali flour (Coix lacryma-jobi L.), mocaf flour (Modified Cassava Flour), and soybean flour as raw materials for producing fettucini pasta, with the addition of green spinach extract for natural coloring and nutritional enhancement. A quantitative experimental method was employed, testing three formulations of jali and mocaf flour combined with soybean flour. Sensory evaluations were conducted with 35 panelists—comprising trained, semi-trained, and untrained participants—to assess color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. The findings revealed that flour composition significantly influenced pasta’s sensory attributes. The F2 formulation (50% jali flour, 50% mocaf flour, 20% soybean flour) achieved the highest acceptance, with average scores across all parameters rated as “liked” to “highly liked.” The incorporation of spinach extract not only imparted an appealing natural green hue but also enhanced the product’s nutritional profile, particularly in iron and dietary fiber content. These results underscore the potential of combining jali and mocaf flours as a nutritious, gluten-free pasta alternative that supports local food diversification and reduces reliance on imported wheat.
