The development of digital technology in recent years has had a significant impact on almost all sectors, especially the financial sector. Digitalization is no longer an option but a fundamental necessity for financial institutions, including Savings and Loan Cooperatives (KSP), to remain competitive and capable of providing efficient, accurate, and high-quality services. The need for technology that can improve service processes, data management, and transactions has become increasingly urgent amid the growing complexity of cooperative members’ demands and the increasing competition among financial institutions.This study aims to analyze the transformation of financial services at KSP Credit Union Bahtera Sejahtera through the implementation of the Escete Program, an online-based digital system. Before 2019, this cooperative used the SIKOPDIT CS system which operated offline, resulting in difficulties in data synchronization and service efficiency. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive approach using the perspective of Institutional Theory to examine the motivations behind organizational change.The results of the study indicate that the transition from SIKOPDIT CS to the Escete Program is not merely a technical change but also a form of organizational adaptation to three institutional pressures: (1) Coercive Pressure arising from regulations requiring financial transparency; (2) Mimetic Pressure as an effort to emulate the success of banking digitalization; and (3) Normative Pressure to meet members’ expectations and the professionalism of human resources. The implementation of the Escete Program has proven to improve real-time data accuracy, accelerate services through Android integration, and transform the organizational work culture into a more modern and transparent one.

This research investigates climate change adaptation frameworks for Indonesian port infrastructure and workforce safety through integrated risk management approaches addressing physical facility resilience and human resource protection. Through qualitative analysis involving 37 stakeholders including port authorities, terminal operators, marine engineers, climate scientists, occupational health specialists, and port workers, this study examines how climate threats including sea level rise, extreme weather, flooding, and heat stress affect both port operations and worker safety requiring coordinated adaptation strategies. Results demonstrate that integrated frameworks can reduce climate-related operational disruptions by 50-70%, decrease worker heat illness by 60-80%, improve emergency response effectiveness by 55-75%, and enhance infrastructure resilience by 45-65% when combining physical hardening with workforce protection measures. Key challenges include immediate infrastructure damage (ports already experiencing 3-8 annual flooding shutdowns), worker heat illness epidemic (150+ cases in 2023 with 300% increase), investment decision urgency ($15-25 billion infrastructure commitments 2024-2030), and organizational coordination across fragmented stakeholders. Findings reveal that successful climate adaptation requires holistic sociotechnical approaches treating ports as integrated human-infrastructure systems where worker safety and facility resilience prove inseparable, supporting Indonesia's maritime economic security and coastal community welfare through comprehensive climate risk management.

This research investigates the effectiveness of container cargo information management systems at Indonesian ports, examining the critical roles of competency training, shore-based personnel capabilities, and technology adoption in determining system performance and operational outcomes. Container terminals increasingly rely on sophisticated information systems including Terminal Operating Systems (TOS), Port Community Systems (PCS), and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for coordinating complex cargo operations, yet system effectiveness depends not solely on technology sophistication but critically on personnel competency, training adequacy, and human-technology integration. Through qualitative analysis involving terminal operators, port information system managers, shore-based operational personnel, training coordinators, and technology providers, this study examines how the interplay between human capabilities and technological capabilities determines information system effectiveness. Results demonstrate that comprehensive competency training programs can improve system utilization effectiveness by 45-65%, reduce operational errors by 50-70%, and enhance productivity by 25-40% through better human-technology integration. Key challenges include inadequate training investment, high personnel turnover, technology complexity exceeding user capabilities, and organizational resistance to systematic training programs. Findings reveal that container terminal information system effectiveness depends fundamentally on sociotechnical system optimization addressing both technological infrastructure and human capability development through sustained competency building programs. This research contributes to port operations literature by providing evidence-based frameworks for human factors integration in port technology implementation.

For criminal justice systems, the growing number of young people involved in drug-related crimes is a serious problem, especially when it comes to striking a balance between law enforcement and child protection and rehabilitation. By contrasting viewpoints from Islamic law and Indonesian positive law, this study investigates the use of restorative justice in the processing of adolescent drug cases in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, Jambi. The study used a qualitative socio-legal methodology that integrates normative legal analysis with empirical field data gathered via observations, interviews, and document analysis involving law enforcement personnel, rehabilitation facilities, families, and community people. The results show that diversionary measures required by Law No. 11 of 2012 regulating the Juvenile Criminal Justice System are the main means by which restorative justice is applied in juvenile drug cases. In order to guarantee that children are not subjected to punitive detention but rather have options for recovery and social reintegration, these systems prioritize mediation, rehabilitation, and community involvement. From the standpoint of Islamic law, restorative justice is consistent with fundamental tenets like tawbah (repentance), islah (reconciliation), and the protection of human welfare, all of which place an emphasis on moral reform and the preservation of children's dignity. These ideas support the adoption of restorative measures in the resolution of adolescent drug offenses in Tanjung Jabung Barat, a sociocultural setting where Malay-Islamic beliefs have a significant impact on community life. The report does, however, also point out a number of difficulties, such as the lack of rehabilitation facilities, the societal stigma associated with juvenile offenders, and the inconsistent use of diversion by law enforcement. The study comes to the conclusion that a framework for handling juvenile drug cases that prioritizes the rehabilitation and future well-being of children is both culturally sensitive and legally sound when restorative justice ideas are integrated with Islamic legal values and Indonesian statutory law.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of bureaucratic reform in improve the administrative performance of the Sorong City Regional Secretariat. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 30 government apparatus respondents using the Likert scale and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Meanwhile, qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants and analyzed using thematic analysis and data triangulation. The results of the study show that the implementation of bureaucratic reform is positively related to the organization's administrative performance. The variables of policy communication, apparatus resources, and bureaucratic structure show a fairly strong correlation with administrative performance, with bureaucratic structure exhibiting the strongest relationship. Qualitative findings also show that bureaucratic reform has been carried out through simplifying procedures, updating SOPs, digitizing administration, and strengthening the performance reporting system. Theoretically, this research strengthens policy implementation theory and public organizational performance theory, which emphasize the importance of policy communication, human resource capacity, and the effectiveness of organizational structures in improving bureaucratic performance. However, this study has limitations in scope, as it is confined to a single organizational unit and a relatively small number of respondents. Therefore, further research is suggested to expand the research object in several regional apparatus organizations in order to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the implementation of bureaucratic reform at the local government level.

Theoretically, this study offers an integrative conceptual framework that combines technological innovation with Islamic educational epistemology. Practically, the results of this study provide recommendations for teachers, schools, and policymakers to develop AI-based PAI learning models that are adaptive, ethical, and oriented towards character building.

Jesus’ declaration “I am the gate” in John 10:7-9 is a rich theological metaphor that holds significant meaning for both Christological reflection and contemporary pastoral ministry. This article aims to examine the meaning of this statement through a biblical exegetical approach and pastoral theology. The research employs a qualitative method based on literary analysis, including a study of the Greek text and a contextual reading of the Gospel of John. The findings indicate that the metaphor of the “gate” emphasizes Jesus’ identity as the sole way to salvation and as the source of abundant life for believers. Moreover, this image highlights Christ’s pastoral function in granting access to a living relationship between God and humanity while providing protection and guidance for His flock. The pastoral implications of this text invite church ministers to imitate Christ as the gate by fostering openness, offering spiritual security, and promoting a liberating form of pastoral care. Thus, John 10:7–9 not only conveys profound theological insights but also offers a relevant pastoral paradigm for the Church’s mission in the contemporary context.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of legal protection for children as victims of sexual violence based on Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. Sexual violence against children constitutes a serious violation of human rights and has long-term impacts on the physical, psychological, and social development of victims. Normatively, the law regulates various forms of protection, including prevention, handling, rehabilitation, and the imposition of stricter sanctions against perpetrators. However, in practice, several obstacles remain in the implementation of such legal protection. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources analyzed qualitatively through legal interpretation techniques. The analysis evaluates the conformity between the legal norms stipulated in the legislation and their implementation in practice. The results indicate that, normatively, Law Number 35 of 2014 provides a relatively comprehensive legal framework for protecting child victims of sexual violence. Nevertheless, its effectiveness is hindered by challenges such as law enforcement issues, limited facilities and infrastructure, lack of inter-agency coordination, and social stigma toward victims. Therefore, strengthening policy implementation and enhancing synergy among stakeholders are necessary to ensure optimal legal protection for children as victims of sexual violence.  

Occupational Safety and Health (K3) is an important aspect in protecting workers from potential accidents and health problems arising from work activities, including in the administrative sector, which is often considered low-risk. However, the Human Resources (HR) Department at PT Micro Madani Institute (MMI) Solo Branch still found several potential hazards and work risks that have not been optimally identified. This study aims to apply the Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOPS) and Job Safety Analysis (JSA) methods to identify and mitigate hazards and work accident risks in the HR Department's activities at PT Micro Madani Institute (MMI) Solo Branch. The research method is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach through observation and interviews. Risk analysis used the JSA and HAZOPS methods. The results of the study show that the application of the HAZOPS method in five sections of the HR Department successfully identified 53 potential hazards and risks, consisting of 12 extreme risks, 23 high risks, 15 moderate risks, and 3 low risks with the Employee Training and Development section as the section with the largest number of risks. Meanwhile, the application of the JSA method also identified 53 potential hazards and risks from 19 work activities. The dominant risks stem from non-ergonomic work postures, prolonged sitting, intensive computer use, and high workloads. This study concludes that the JSA and HAZOPS methods are effective in identifying potential occupational hazards and risks and can serve as the basis for control efforts to minimize workplace accidents and improve OHS implementation in the HR Department.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of human resource management at Company X in improving organizational performance. Human resources are a strategic factor that plays an important role in supporting the operational success of a company.

The results indicate that the number of employees has increased along with the development of the company's operational activities. The workforce structure is dominated by productive-age employees who have good adaptability to technological developments and work demands. However, several challenges were identified in human resource management, particularly in workforce planning, recruitment processes, and the effectiveness of training and employee performance evaluation programs. Therefore, the company needs to improve its human resource management system through more selective recruitment processes, relevant training programs, and a more objective performance evaluation system. These improvements are expected to enhance employee productivity and strengthen the company's competitiveness.

The increase in the number of elderly residents demands the provision of residential facilities that not only meet physical needs, but also support the psychological and social well-being of their users. This study aims to formulate the concept of behavioral architecture-based nursing home design by focusing on the relationship between elderly activity patterns, privacy levels, and spatial relationships of space in the local context of Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach in the framework of architectural design, with data collection through observation of elderly activities, site analysis, and documentation studies. Activity data was analyzed to identify space needs and usage patterns, then synthesized with site characteristics to formulate the concepts of zoning, circulation, and behavior-based spatial relationships. The results of the study show that the activities of the elderly form a layered behavioral structure, including residential and health activities as primary needs as well as social, productive, and educational activities as support for psychosocial welfare. Hierarchically arranged space zoning based on privacy levels has been proven to improve the readability of the space, sense of security, and comfort of the elderly. The integration of green open spaces as part of the activity system also strengthens support for light physical activity and social interaction. This study confirms that the application of behavioral architecture allows the translation of data on elderly behavior and site conditions into a contextual, humanist, and quality-of-life-oriented design concept. These findings provide practical implications for designers and policymakers in the development of sustainable elderly housing.

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Integrated Dynamic Archival Information Sistem (SRIKANDI) application in digital archive management at the Public Works and Public Housing Agency (PUPR) of Jambi Province. This study applies a qualitative approach using descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of informants directly involved in archive management and the use of the SRIKANDI application. The analysis of policy implementation in this study is based on Edward III's theory, which covers the dimensions of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings of the study show that the implementation of the SRIKANDI application in the Road Construction Division has been carried out, but it has not been running optimally. The use of the application is still mostly focused on correspondence activities, while the comprehensive archive management function has not been optimally implemented. Factors supporting implementation include the existence of clear regulations, leadership commitment, and the availability of socialization and training activities. Meanwhile, the obstacles found include limitations in internet network quality, application stability, and differences in the level of human resource capabilities and adaptation to digital sistems. This study concludes that the successful implementation of SRIKANDI is not only influenced by the availability of technology, but also by the readiness of organizations and human resources in supporting the transformation of digital archive management. In addition, this study also provides several strategic recommendations to improve the effectiveness of implementation.
