This research aims to analyse the implementation of digital innovation in passport services at the Class I Immigration Office Tanjung Perak as part of bureaucratic reform and Good Governance initiatives. The study employed a qualitative case study approach, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, to assess the successes and challenges of digital systems such as SIMKIM and M-Paspor. The findings reveal that digital innovation has successfully improved operational efficiency and generally provided transparency into costs and application status, whilst reducing queuing times and increasing service speed, thereby enhancing public satisfaction and trust in immigration services. However, the innovation has not fully addressed structural and cultural bureaucratic barriers, as field officers tend to become passive when systems experience errors or delays, struggling to provide detailed explanations about issues, which results in information ambiguity and potentially undermines procedural transparency and performance accountability principles. The study concludes that bureaucratic reform in the immigration sector requires internal cultural updates and enhanced human resource competencies to support comprehensive transparency and accountability. Digital infrastructure instability and officers' discretionary authority significantly influence the effectiveness of digital innovation. Whilst digital innovation offers substantial benefits in efficiency and transparency, its success depends heavily on strengthening systems, improving human resource skills, and fostering organisational cultural change, with continuous efforts essential for achieving effective, transparent, and accountable public service.

Based on Article 19 of the UUPA in conjunction with Article 37 paragraph (1) of PP 24/1997, the transfer of land rights through sale and purchase can only be registered if proven by a PPAT deed. However, because the process of fulfilling the requirements is quite complicated, people often buy and sell land verbally without following formal procedures. Regarding this practice, Decision Number 5592 K/Pdt/2024 is interesting because the Supreme Court has confirmed the validity of verbal land sales. This case study aims to understand the legal considerations in the decision in terms of contract law and the provisions of the Land Registration Regulation, as well as how the decision is implemented. The method used is a legal-normative approach through a review of legislation and court decisions, with a qualitative legal analysis of land sales and the implementation of the decision. The results of the study show that verbal land sales are valid according to Article 1320 of the Civil Code, but cannot be registered as a transfer of rights because Article 37 of Government Regulation No. 24/1997 requires a PPAT deed. Court decisions that have permanent legal force but are not voluntarily implemented can be enforced through the District Court with a 14-day aanmaning process, and if they are still ignored, execution will be carried out. If the forced execution does not go according to plan, the parties concerned can file a request for cancellation of the legal product based on Articles 38-40 of Agrarian Ministerial Regulation No. 21/2020.

The data collection procedures in this study included interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The research employed a quantitative method using multiple linear regression analysis, which was processed using SPSS version 23. The sampling technique used was the census (total sampling) method, in which all members of the population were included as samples, totaling 38 respondents. The results of the study indicate that: (1) partially, job training has a significant effect on employee performance. This is evidenced by the t-test results, where the significance value is 0.000 < 0.05 and the calculated t-value is −9.613 > t-table value of 1.691, indicating that variable X1 influences variable Y. (2) workload has a significant effect on employee performance, as shown by the t-test results with a significance value of 0.004 < 0.05 and a calculated t-value of 1.842 > t-table value of 1.691, indicating that variable X2 affects variable Y. (3) work motivation has a significant effect on employee performance, as evidenced by the t-test results with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a calculated t-value of 4.694 > t-table value of 1.691, indicating that variable X3 influences variable Y. (4) simultaneously, job training, workload, and work motivation have a significant effect on employee performance. This is supported by the F-test results, where the significance value is 0.000 < 0.05 and the calculated F-value is 37.209 > F-table value of 2.883, indicating that variables X1, X2, and X3 simultaneously influence variable Y.

This study aims to identify and describe the factors contributing to the decline in the distribution of Kredit Cepat Aman (KCA) at PT Pegadaian (Persero), Pasar Pagi Service Unit, during the period of January 2022 to December 2024. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, involving purposively selected informants consisting of the unit manager, appraisers, and customers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation analysis (KCA realization data from 2022 to 2024). The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification/triangulation. The results indicate that the decline in KCA distribution is influenced by internal factors including interest rate (service fee) policies, collateral appraisal standards, credit provision procedures, non-performing loan ratios, service quality, and marketing activities as well as external factors such as competition among financial institutions, fluctuations in collateral prices, product availability, and local economic conditions affecting community purchasing power. These findings suggest the need for improvements in collateral appraisal procedures, enhancements in service quality and localized marketing strategies, and adjustments to interest rate policies that are responsive to local economic dynamics in order to restore and increase KCA distribution performance.

This study examines the implementation of digital health services via the Mobile JKN application at the Payung Sekaki Community Health Center in Pekanbaru City and explores factors affecting service effectiveness, especially complaints about long waiting times. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on the Mobile Health Acceptance Model by Handayani et al. (2021), the study focuses on five constructs: ease of use, system availability, system responsiveness, health workers’ digital skills, and user trust. The results show that Mobile JKN has significantly simplified administrative processes, accelerated registration, and improved service efficiency at the health center. Effectiveness is supported by factors such as the application’s general ease of use, faster queue data processing, and adequate digital skills among staff. Users also show a high level of trust, though queue time estimation still needs improvement. Despite these benefits, complaints about long waits persist due to patients who register online but still queue manually and misunderstandings between Mobile JKN and e-Puskesmas queue numbers. Late patient arrivals also contribute to delays. Overall, Mobile JKN proves effective in enhancing digital health services, but further optimization is needed through better socialization of service procedures, accurate queue information, and improved system integration to maximize the advantages of digitalization.

Cognitive concentration constitutes a pivotal determinant within the educational process; when an individual exhibits impaired attentional capacity, the instructional input received is unlikely to be effectively encoded into neural pathways or long-term memory, thereby rendering the expenditure of effort, time, and resources essentially futile. This investigation sought to elucidate the associative dynamics among breakfast consumption patterns, levels of physical activity, and sleep quality in relation to academic concentration among students in Grades X and XI within the North Bogor District. Employing a cross-sectional methodological framework, the study encompassed 101 participants whose selection adhered to an observational analytic approach. Empirical data pertaining to breakfast behavior, physical activity, sleep quality, and concentration performance were acquired through standardized self-administered questionnaires. Analytical procedures were conducted using the chi-square statistical test. The inferential findings demonstrated a statistically significant association between breakfast habits (p = 0.002) and sleep quality (p = 0.008) with learning concentration, whereas physical activity exhibited no significant correlation (p = 0.831). Accordingly, the study substantiates that breakfast regularity and sleep quality are meaningfully interrelated with students’ concentration levels, while physical activity does not manifest a measurable relationship with concentration outcomes

This study aims to describe the implementation and outcomes of training on making herbal elixir beverages from nine spice butterfly pea ingredients for exercise mothers as an effort to improve knowledge and skills in processing healthy drinks. The activity was motivated by the limited use of herbal beverages after exercise and the low level of public understanding regarding the benefits of butterfly pea flowers and traditional spices as natural stamina enhancers. The study applied a descriptive qualitative approach through observation and documentation conducted from November 22 to December 5, 2025. A total of 25 exercise mothers participated in the training, which consisted of demonstrations and direct practice in preparing elixirs using dried butterfly pea flowers combined with ginger, turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, cinnamon, cloves, betel leaves, and brown sugar. The results show that participants were able to follow all training stages properly and demonstrated increased understanding of herbal benefits, ingredient functions, dosage accuracy, and processing procedures. Achievement indicators reveal that 92 percent of participants were able to independently prepare the elixir according to the demonstrated steps, 84 percent were able to explain the function of each ingredient correctly, and all groups successfully produced elixir products with color, aroma, and taste that met the expected standards. Participants also responded positively and expressed interest in reapplying the recipes at home and developing flavor variations for personal consumption or small scale business opportunities effectively.

This internship report examines the issue of attendance non-compliance among sales employees at PT. Majesty Enerbion Nusantara (PT MEN) and the efforts to improve it through the implementation of a reward and punishment–based system.

The study employs a participatory action research (PAR) approach through three main stages: (1) situation analysis and problem mapping, (2) implementation of assistance through training, technical support, and development of financial administrative instruments, and (3) evaluation through observation, document analysis, and interviews. The results show improved understanding among BUMDes administrators regarding financial administration procedures, the development of more systematic financial recording formats, and strengthened commitment to implementing more orderly and professional governance. Overall, the assistance program has had a positive impact on enhancing the managerial capacity of BUMDes Raharja as a sustainable village economic institution.

This study aims to answer two questions. First, why were there only single candidates in 37 regions in the 2024 simultaneous regional elections? Second, what are the risks of single candidates to democracy and the performance of political parties? The methods used are normative juridical methods with a legislative and conceptual approach. The research focuses on the phenomenon of single candidates in regional elections and its impact on democracy and the performance of political parties in Indonesia. The results of this study show that the phenomenon of single candidates in regional elections indicates weak local democracy and poor performance of political parties in carrying out their functions of regeneration and leadership recruitment. Elite domination, high political costs, and the strong influence of oligarchs make the nomination process non-competitive and reduce the space for alternative candidates. As a result, regional elections are only procedural without substance, widening the democratic deficit and opening space for local bossism and unhealthy power consolidation. If this condition continues, local democracy will move further away from the principles of openness, accountability, and fair competition.

This study provides an in-depth examination of the relationship between the implementation of administrative ethics and the quality of civil service performance within the framework of good governance principles in Kota Palangka Raya. Employing a qualitative–descriptive approach grounded in literature-based analysis, this research explores various empirical findings related to public service practices, bureaucratic transparency, regional asset management, and the integrity of civil servants. The analysis reveals that administrative ethics have not been fully internalized, as evidenced by persistent delays in service delivery, employee absenteeism, convoluted procedures, low responsiveness, and weak accountability and regulatory compliance. These conditions indicate a substantial gap between ideal ethical standards and actual administrative practices. The findings further confirm that core values of administrative ethics—such as integrity, discipline, responsibility, transparency, and professionalism—play a determinant role in realizing good governance principles, including transparency, effectiveness, efficiency, accountability, and the rule of law. This study asserts that strengthening administrative ethics is a strategic prerequisite for improving civil service quality and restoring public trust. The implications highlight the need for continuous capacity-building, enhanced integrity among civil servants, and strengthened oversight mechanisms to establish an equitable, accountable, and citizen-oriented system of governance.

One of Indonesia’s key strategies for generating foreign exchange is the development of Tourism Villages. A Tourism Village refers to a rural area that is utilized as a recreational destination due to its natural beauty, cultural uniqueness, and local attractions that appeal to tourists. The development of Tourism Villages inevitably involves the Village Government as the main authority in village administration. Tourism Village development is an integral part of community empowerment, as it encourages local residents to actively participate in village development activities. Through effective empowerment programs, the Village Government can enhance community capacity, increase economic opportunities, and strengthen local potential in a sustainable manner. This study employs a qualitative research approach. The qualitative research process involves several important stages, including formulating research questions, applying appropriate research procedures, collecting specific data from participants, analyzing data inductively from particular themes to broader patterns, and interpreting the meaning of the findings. Using this approach, the study reveals that the role of the Village Government is crucial in planning, managing, and supporting Tourism Village development. Strong leadership, community involvement, and strategic empowerment initiatives are essential factors in ensuring the successful and sustainable development of Tourism Villages in Indonesia.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the Indonesian economy, yet they are vulnerable to various conflicts that can hinder their continuity. Dispute resolution through legal channels (litigation) is often considered inefficient for MSMEs due to the lengthy process, high costs, and inflexibility. Therefore, alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration are considered preferable to litigation. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of mediation and arbitration in resolving business conflicts among MSMEs in Indonesia, identify inhibiting factors in resolving business conflicts, and provide recommendations for strengthening the accessibility of these mechanisms for MSMEs. The research method used is empirical juridical, combining normative analysis of regulations governing mediation and arbitration with data collection using document studies related to MSMEs. The results indicate that mediation is generally more effective for MSMEs because it is less expensive, simpler, and can maintain business relationships between the parties. However, the success of mediation is also determined by the quality of the mediator and the willingness of both parties. On the other hand, arbitration provides legal certainty and a relatively quicker resolution process compared to litigation. However, the barriers are the relatively high cost and low legal understanding among MSMEs. A comparison of the two shows that the effectiveness of ADR depends heavily on the availability of information, support from service providers, and the MSME's ability to adapt to legal procedures.

The effectiveness of a retail store layout plays a crucial role in supporting operational efficiency, service flow, and customer experience. Brother Parfume, a perfume refill retail store, currently applies a bar-service layout designed based on intuition and daily operational needs rather than systematic planning. This often results in inefficient movement patterns, limited space utilization, and suboptimal coordination among functional areas. This study aims to redesign the store layout by applying the Entity Relationship Chart (ERC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) methods to identify functional relationships and determine the ideal spatial arrangement. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with the store owner to understand the interaction between service areas, product displays, and storage sections. The ERC analysis shows that the service area, perfume display, and bottle display have the highest functional interdependence, while the storage area has the lowest necessity for proximity. TCR results confirm these findings, with the service area and perfume display each scoring 90, bottle display 21, and storage 3. Based on these results, two alternative layouts are proposed that integrate high-priority areas into a unified service zone and position storage separately to minimize unnecessary movement. The redesigned layout is expected to enhance service speed, optimize space utilization, support operational procedures, and strengthen the store’s servicescape. This research contributes practical insights into the application of ERC and TCR methods for small-scale retail operations, particularly in the perfume refill sector, where service efficiency and spatial constraints are critical.

. Industrial Internship (KPI) is a form of student learning that emphasizes the direct application of knowledge in the workplace. This study aims to describe the procedures for employee competency development at PPSDM Migas Cepu as an effort to improve organizational performance. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that competency development at PPSDM Migas is carried out systematically through three main stages: identifying and planning development needs, implementing training programs, and evaluating outcomes using the CIPP, Kirkpatrick, and Kirkpatrick-Philips models. Training activities include courses, workshops, on-the-job training, and certification programs. Evaluations are conducted periodically to ensure program effectiveness and alignment with organizational needs. These findings highlight the importance of human resource management and supervisor involvement in maximizing competency development outcomes. The results of this internship can serve as a reference for designing training programs in similar institutions.

This study aims to examine the implementation of audit procedures on accounts payable at PT XYZ by KAP Ramli & Rekan, with a focus on compliance with Auditing Standards and effectiveness in detecting material misstatements. Accounts payable are a key component of financial statements representing the company’s obligations to suppliers, requiring accurate presentation for assessing liquidity and capital structure. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method, collecting primary data through interviews with audit staff at KAP Ramli & Rekan and secondary data from relevant literature. The findings show that the audit procedures comply with professional standards, covering comprehensive stages including engagement acceptance, audit planning, risk and materiality assessment, and substantive testing. The planning process incorporates the COSO framework for evaluating internal control, establishes audit objectives based on the five management assertions, and utilizes ATLAS software and Microsoft Excel. KAP Ramli & Rekan apply control testing and substantive procedures, including external confirmations, inspection of supporting documents, review of aging payables, and subsequent payment testing. Risk assessment indicates low inherent and control risks, while detection risk is mitigated through substantive procedures. Overall Materiality is set at 60% of revenue and profit before tax, Performance Materiality at 3% of Overall Materiality, and Threshold Materiality at 3% of Performance Materiality. The study concludes that the audit procedures implemented by KAP Ramli & Rekan align with applicable Auditing Standards and are effective in addressing audit risks related to accounts payable. The implications highlight the importance of enhancing audit quality practices, particularly the effectiveness of planning and internal control evaluation in accounts payable audits.

This study examines the interrelationship between the implementation of administrative ethics in civil service, the professionalism of State Civil Apparatus (ASN), and the quality of public service delivery at the Provincial Department of Energy and Mineral Resources of Central Kalimantan, employing a qualitative case study approach. Through in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document analysis, the research finds that integrity, transparency, and ethical accountability function not merely as moral norms but as structural foundations that reinforce ASN professionalism in performing service functions, particularly within licensing processes that demand administrative certainty and responsiveness. Empirical findings indicate that professionalism—reflected in technical competence, procedural discipline, and ethical commitment—acts as a catalyst linking ethical values to effective and adaptive public service performance. Nevertheless, the study also identifies structural and cultural impediments, including regulatory inconsistencies, fragmented coordination, and limited training opportunities, all of which hinder the internalization of ethical principles and professional practice within the bureaucracy. Theoretically, the study posits that harmonizing administrative ethics and professionalism is a prerequisite for achieving key indicators of good governance, such as responsiveness, service effectiveness, and institutional accountability. Practically, the study recommends strengthening ethics training, enhancing ASN professional capacity, and advancing managerial reforms grounded in modern governance as strategic efforts to sustainably improve public service quality.

This research was conducted to assess the effectiveness of using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach in teaching poetry writing in Indonesian language classes. This method was applied to assess the extent of students' mastery of the material and their response to problem-based learning. Based on the results of the questionnaire distributed, it was found that materials such as procedural texts, expository texts, negotiation texts, poetry, drama, and novels are materials that often use the PBL model. The results show that around 75%–80% of students understand learning with the PBL approach and show active and enthusiastic responses during the learning process. However, the implementation of PBL faces a number of obstacles, including limited time allocation and the level of readiness of students in digesting complex problems. Thus, periodic assessment and adaptation of the learning approach are key to optimising the effectiveness of this method.
