In the modern industrialization era, industrial relations disputes are increasing in both quantity and complexity. This condition demands a fast, precise, fair, and efficient dispute resolution mechanism. In accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations, mandatory settlement efforts must first be pursued through bipartite or tripartite negotiations through deliberation to reach a consensus, known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR is a dispute resolution mechanism outside the court that is oriented towards a win-win solution, namely an agreement that accommodates the interests of all parties. However, in practice, the implementation of mediation in Industrial Relations Disputes (PHI) still faces various obstacles, particularly related to the lack of the principle of impartiality of the mediator. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that the PHI Mediator is an administrative position attached to the state civil apparatus, not an independent profession. The absence of strict sanctions for violations of the code of ethics, limited mediation time, and the absence of conflict of interest regulations in the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. Law No. 17 of 2014 makes the mediator vulnerable to intervention by certain parties. This situation has implications for the emergence of recommendations that are potentially non-objective and detrimental to one of the parties. Therefore, the principle of impartiality is a fundamental element in Industrial Relations (PHI) mediation to ensure a fair, balanced, and substantively just dispute resolution.

This article examines the economic defense reforms implemented by China under Xi Jinping's leadership through a literature review. This research aims to examine the key strategies employed by the Chinese government to strengthen its economic resilience amidst global pressures, such as the trade war with the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic, and escalating geopolitical rivalries. The findings indicate that Xi Jinping prioritizes a dual-circulation strategy, namely strengthening domestic consumption while maintaining connectivity with international markets, as a crucial step in addressing global uncertainty. Furthermore, the Made in China 2025 policy serves as a key pillar for promoting technological independence, reducing dependence on imports, and enhancing the competitiveness of domestic industries in strategic sectors such as information technology, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China seeks to expand its economic influence globally, open new markets, and transfer excess domestic industrial capacity to partner countries. These reforms are not solely oriented toward economic aspects but are also closely linked to political and national security interests. This strategy demonstrates China's systematic efforts to build economic resilience integrated with geopolitical interests, using the economy as an instrument of both soft and hard power. This study demonstrates that Xi Jinping's economic defense reforms are not merely a short-term response to the global crisis, but rather part of a long-term vision to establish China as a dominant global power. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of understanding China's economic strategy holistically, as these reforms, in addition to significantly influencing domestic dynamics, also have significant implications for the future global economic and political order.

The shift towards flexible working arrangements (FWA), especially in the context of remote work or work-from-home (WFH) settings, has prompted organizations to rethink how flexibility impacts employee performance. While FWA offers potential benefits such as improved work-life balance and autonomy, it can also create challenges related to time management, coordination, and communication—particularly in the absence of adequate support from supervisors. This study addresses the problem of whether work flexibility alone is sufficient to enhance employee performance, or if perceived supervisor support (PSS) serves as a mediating factor in this relationship. The objective of this research is to investigate the role of PSS as a mediator between FWA and employee performance. A quantitative research method was employed, with data collected via structured questionnaires distributed to 35 employees working under flexible arrangements. The collected data were then analyzed using statistical techniques to assess both direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The findings indicate that while FWA does not directly improve employee performance, it significantly enhances employees’ perception of supervisor support. Furthermore, PSS was found to have a strong positive influence on performance outcomes. These results suggest that flexibility in work arrangements must be complemented by consistent and active supervisory engagement to yield positive effects on employee performance. In conclusion, the study emphasizes that PSS plays a critical mediating role in the FWA–performance link. Organizations seeking to implement or optimize flexible work policies should prioritize supervisor training and engagement strategies to ensure that flexibility translates into measurable performance improvements. Future research may explore these dynamics in larger populations and across different industries.

Cassava tapai is a traditional Indonesian food product produced through the fermentation of cassava (Manihot esculenta) with the help of microorganisms, particularly the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This product not only has cultural and economic value but also contains bioactive compounds with health benefits, such as probiotics and fermentation metabolites. However, the quality of cassava tapai is significantly influenced by process factors, particularly incubation time. This study aimed to analyze microbial growth and changes in the chemical properties of cassava tapai with varying fermentation times. The study was conducted using an experimental design with fermentation times of 24, 48, and 72 hours at room temperature. The main parameters observed included the number of microbial colonies (cfu/g), pH changes, and alcohol content produced during the fermentation process. The results showed that microbial growth increased significantly, peaking at 48 hours, with the highest colony count compared to other treatments. After 72 hours, the number of colonies decreased, likely due to ethanol accumulation and decreased substrate availability, which reduced microbial activity. The pH value tended to decrease with increasing fermentation time, reflecting the formation of organic acids during the process. Meanwhile, the alcohol content showed an increasing trend from the beginning to the end of fermentation, although the growth rate was relatively slower at 72 hours. These findings confirm that varying incubation length significantly influences microbial dynamics and chemical changes in cassava tapai. The optimal fermentation time is around 48 hours, as this is the phase where the balance between microbial growth, alcohol formation, and sensory characteristics is maintained. The results of this study can serve as a basis for developing standards for cassava tapai production at both household and industrial scales, while also strengthening efforts to preserve traditional foods with a modern scientific approach.

This study aims to analyze the influence of capital structure, liquidity, sales growth, and green accounting, assessed through environmental performance and environmental costs, on the profitability of companies. The research focuses on the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period, which represents one of the most dynamic and environmentally impactful industries in Indonesia. The sample consists of 30 companies selected using a purposive sampling technique based on predetermined criteria, ensuring the representativeness and relevance of the data analyzed. The study employs multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS version 22.0 to test the hypotheses and measure the extent to which the independent variables contribute to profitability as the dependent variable. The findings reveal that liquidity and sales growth exert a positive and significant influence on profitability, indicating that firms with higher liquidity levels and stronger sales growth are better positioned to enhance their financial performance. In contrast, capital structure demonstrates a negative and significant effect, suggesting that higher levels of debt reduce profitability due to increased financial burdens. Similarly, green accounting, when assessed through environmental performance, also shows a negative and significant impact, implying that companies focusing on environmental initiatives may face higher costs that suppress short-term profitability. However, green accounting as measured by environmental costs does not show any significant effect on profitability, highlighting that disclosure or allocation of environmental costs alone may not directly translate into financial outcomes. Overall, the study concludes that capital structure, liquidity, sales growth, and green accounting—when measured through both environmental performance and costs—jointly influence the profitability of food and beverage companies on the IDX during the observed period.

The use of palm oil waste as boiler fuel is one of the innovative solutions in supporting the use of renewable energy while reducing the environmental impact of palm oil industry waste. Waste such as palm shells, mesocarp fibers, and empty oil palm bunches have high energy potential through direct combustion and other thermal technologies. This study aims to evaluate the potential use of palm oil waste as boiler fuel based on its calorific value, combustion efficiency, and environmental impact. The methods used include analysis of the physical and chemical characteristics of waste, boiler performance tests, and exhaust gas emission evaluation. The results show that palm oil waste has a high calorific value (15–20 MJ/kg), which makes it an efficient alternative fuel. In addition, the use of this waste is able to reduce dependence on fossil fuels while minimizing carbon emissions, thereby supporting the greenhouse gas emission reduction target. From an operational perspective, the use of palm oil waste in industrial boilers can increase combustion efficiency by up to 75–85%, depending on fuel conditions and boiler design. This makes palm oil waste not only economically valuable, but also strategic in supporting the transition to clean energy. Another advantage is that waste management becomes more targeted, because solid waste that is usually only an environmental burden can be reused as an energy source. However, some of the challenges that need to be considered include relatively high ash levels, the potential for corrosion in boiler equipment, and the need for emission control technology to comply with environmental standards. With the right mitigation strategy, palm oil waste can be processed into sustainable and environmentally friendly energy.

The study also emphasizes the growing role of technology in enhancing the travel experience for senior citizens. With the rapid digitalization of various industries, including the travel sector, the elderly population is increasingly using mobile applications to plan and book trips. However, older adults often face challenges in adapting to new technologies due to physical, cognitive, or sensory limitations. This study’s results underscore the importance of addressing these barriers in the design of travel applications for seniors. The ease of use and perceived usefulness of these applications are not just about functional features but also about how accessible and user-friendly the design is for older users. In addition to the perceived usefulness and ease of use, it is essential for developers to consider the specific needs and preferences of senior travelers, such as larger fonts, clear navigation, and easy-to-understand instructions. Ensuring that these features are incorporated can greatly enhance the adoption of travel applications among the elderly and improve their overall experience. The findings also suggest that fostering trust and confidence in technology among older users can increase their willingness to engage with digital platforms. Furthermore, future research could explore how other factors, such as social influence or experience with technology, interact with perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness to further explain seniors’ behavioral intentions toward digital travel applications. By addressing these factors, developers can create more inclusive and accessible services that cater to an aging population. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, it is crucial to ensure that seniors are not left behind, and that they can enjoy the same convenience and benefits that digital travel services offer to younger generations.

Within the decentralization framework, the government sets the Regency/City Minimum Wage (UMK) as the wage standard. However, in 2021, the Governor of the Riau Islands Province established a UMK that did not comply with Ministry of Manpower regulations. This decision adversely affected workers, particularly members of labor unions, as well as the entire workforce in Batam City. The research addresses two key issues: first, the legal consequences of a regional head’s policy in determining the minimum wage; second, the form of legal protection for workers against a UMK that contradicts ministerial regulations. The study applies a normative juridical method. Findings indicate, under Article 82 of the Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement Act (UU PPHI), that a state administrative decision violating statutory provisions may be: (1) declared null (nietig/absolute nietig), (2) null and void by law (nietigheid van rechtswege), or (3) annulled (verniegbaar). The Tanjungpinang Administrative Court Decision No. 1/G/2021/PTUN.TPI declared that Governor’s Decree No. 1362 of 2020 on Batam UMK contained substantial defects and was annulled. Legal protection for workers is provided through dispute settlement procedures at the Administrative Court and/or administrative remedies as stipulated by applicable regulations.

Asynchronous motors, commonly known as induction motors, are widely utilized due to their robustness, reliability, and efficiency in both industrial and household applications. These motors typically operate by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy through the interaction between a rotating magnetic field and the rotor. Under normal operating conditions, the rotor speed is always slightly less than the speed of the magnetic field, which is known as "slip." However, when the slip becomes negative, meaning that the rotor speed exceeds the speed of the rotating magnetic field, the motor begins to function as a generator. This condition occurs when the motor is driven above its synchronous speed by an external mechanical force, causing the rotor to generate electrical power. Using an asynchronous motor as a generator offers several notable advantages. One of the key benefits is its ability to produce a pure sine wave voltage, which is crucial for various applications that require stable and high-quality electrical power. Since these motors do not use brushes, they are free from the problems associated with brush wear and maintenance. Moreover, they do not generate radio frequency interference (RFI), making them suitable for environments sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances. The use of an asynchronous motor as a generator also provides the ability to function as a rotary phase converter. This is especially beneficial in applications where three-phase power is unavailable, but the load requires it. To facilitate this process, a capacitive voltage is required to induce excitation in the rotor. The capacitive current is supplied by an additional capacitor, which is installed in parallel with the motor output. This capacitor helps maintain the necessary phase shift and enables the motor to generate the required three-phase power.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the SAP accounting information system in supporting the implementation of the Independent Learning–Independent Campus (MBKM) Internship Program at PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk, Gedangan Unit. SAP, as an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, was adopted to replace the previous desktop-based system, which had significant limitations, such as restricted local access, dependence on additional licenses, and lower integration capabilities across departments. The main objective of this research is to determine how SAP contributes to improving organizational efficiency while simultaneously providing practical learning opportunities for students participating in the MBKM internship program. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through direct observation of company operations, semi-structured interviews with student interns and field supervisors, and analysis of company documentation. The findings indicate that the use of SAP has enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and speed in recording and reporting financial transactions. Through their internship, students engaged directly in business processes, particularly in handling purchase requisitions, reimbursement procedures, and asset management activities. This exposure enabled students to develop a deeper understanding of integrated financial systems and the workflow of a large-scale agribusiness corporation. Although several technical challenges were encountered, particularly in the form of temporary network disruptions, such issues did not substantially hinder the system’s overall performance. The availability of prompt technical support from the company’s IT team minimized potential negative impacts and ensured system continuity. Beyond improving corporate financial governance, SAP also offered valuable experiential learning for interns, bridging theoretical knowledge acquired in academic settings with real-world industrial applications. Overall, the study concludes that SAP functions not only as a strategic enterprise tool for the company but also as an effective educational medium that supports the success of the MBKM internship program.

This study explores the potential and contribution of hotel and restaurant taxes to Regional Original Revenue (PAD) in Surabaya, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. Primary data came from the Regional Government of Surabaya and the Regional Revenue Agency, while secondary data included academic literature, statistical reports, and regulatory documents. Data analysis employed McNabb’s (2002) framework, which consists of grouping information by relevant constructs, identifying interpretive bases, generating generalizations, testing alternative interpretations, and refining theory from case evidence.The findings reveal that the hotel and restaurant sectors in Surabaya possess considerable growth potential, supported by increasing investment, a steady rise in tourist arrivals, and the growing public interest in the property and culinary industries. Hotel taxes have contributed an average of 4.96% of PAD annually, while restaurant taxes contributed 8.06%, reflecting their critical role in strengthening local fiscal capacity. Revenue performance has been further enhanced by the implementation of a self-assessment tax system, improvements in taxpayer compliance, and supportive local economic infrastructure. Despite these positive contributions, several challenges remain. These include unregistered lodging facilities, limited enforcement mechanisms, and a shift in consumer demand toward smaller-scale hospitality businesses, which can reduce taxable capacity. Addressing these challenges requires optimizing the hospitality tax base, expanding tourism promotion, strengthening compliance monitoring, and advancing digital-based tax management systems to ensure efficiency and transparency. In conclusion, hotel and restaurant taxes play a vital role in ensuring Surabaya’s fiscal independence and financing public welfare initiatives. Strengthening governance and adopting adaptive policies are essential for maximizing their potential contribution to sustainable local development.

Vocational education in Indonesia faces a serious challenge in the form of a gap between the competencies of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates and the evolving needs of the workforce. Timika City, despite having the largest number of vocational high schools (SMK) in Papua, has not yet fully demonstrated optimal educational management quality, particularly in the aspect of school administration. This condition has resulted in low effectiveness in data recording, documentation of industrial work practices, and reporting and evaluation of partnerships with the business and industrial world (DUDI). This study aims to explore and analyze administrative management strategies that can improve educational quality while strengthening the work readiness of vocational high school students in Timika City. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis of secondary data, including government policy reports, educational statistics, and the latest scientific literature. The results show that weaknesses in the administrative system are one of the factors inhibiting the achievement of competitive vocational education quality. The implementation of management strategies based on Total Quality Management (TQM) principles, particularly through the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle, data-driven decision-making, and the involvement of all school elements, has proven effective in increasing the efficiency and accountability of administrative services. The discussion also emphasized the importance of transformational leadership from school principals, developing the competencies of administrative staff, utilizing information technology in administrative systems, and strengthening strategic partnerships with the industrial and industrial sectors (DUDI). Therefore, it can be concluded that school administrative management is not merely a technical function, but rather a strategic component in building a vocational education ecosystem that is adaptive, relevant, and oriented to the needs of the workplace. This research recommends that school policymakers and local governments strengthen administrative governance systems to support educational quality and improve the job readiness of vocational high school graduates.
