This research is driven by the significance of examining language meaning, particularly connotative meaning which is often used to convey implicit messages in literary works. Folktales, as one type of oral literature, often utilize character names that carry specific meanings, such as Malin Kundang from Minangkabau. The aim of this research is to uncover the connotative meaning of the character name “Malin Kundang”, as well as its relationship with the moral and cultural values of the society. The methodology involves qualitative research using semantic analysis and a descriptive approach. Data were collected from the Malin Kundang folktale text thru library study and documentation techniques. Next, the processes of identification, classification, and interpretation of meaning were done in order to examine the data. The research result show that denotatively, the name Malin Kundang only functions as the identity of the character, but connotatively, it functions as a symbol of a disobedient child who does not respect their parents. The meaning is formed from the plot of the story and reinforced by the Minangkabau cultural values that uphold respect for parents. The implications of this research indicate that the naming of characters in folklore is not only linguistic but also reflects the moral and cultural values inherited by society.

This study investigates the role of motivation and leadership in shaping employee performance, drawing on synthesized findings from prior scholarly research. A qualitative approach employing systematic literature review was adopted. Source materials were gathered from credible academic repositories including national and international journals covering topics of motivation, leadership, and workforce performance. Data were gathered through identification, screening, and critical appraisal of relevant literature, followed by content analysis to surface recurring patterns and relationships. Findings confirm that motivation both intrinsic and extrinsic consistently strengthens employees' work ethic, productivity, and organizational commitment. Effective leadership, meanwhile, fosters a conducive work climate, supplies clear direction, and cultivates employee engagement toward organizational objectives. The two variables function as mutually reinforcing drivers: strong leadership amplifies motivational forces, while a highly motivated workforce is more responsive to quality leadership. Together, they serve as pivotal pillars for sustained performance improvement. This study contributes a comprehensive synthesis of existing evidence that may guide organizations in crafting more effective human resource management strategies.

Findings suggest manufacturing companies should prioritize transformational leadership development programs, conduct information system audits, and implement work engagement initiatives to enhance decision making effectiveness. Future research should expand to other industries, add organizational culture variables, and employ longitudinal designs.

Employee competency is a strategic factor in improving organizational performance. Rapid changes in the business environment, technological advancements, and increasing demands for professionalism require organizations to ensure that their human resources possess adequate knowledge, skills, abilities, and work attitudes. This study aims to analyze the influence of employee competency on performance using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. Relevant research articles were identified through a systematic process consisting of identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion according to predetermined criteria. The selected studies were then synthesized to evaluate the relationship between competency and employee performance across various organizational contexts. The findings consistently indicate that employee competency has a positive and significant influence on performance improvement. Competency, which encompasses knowledge, technical and interpersonal skills, professional attitudes, and individual characteristics, contributes to enhancing work effectiveness, productivity, service quality, innovation, and the achievement of organizational objectives. Furthermore, organizations that continuously invest in competency development through education, training, and continuous learning programs tend to achieve higher employee performance and stronger organizational competitiveness. This study provides comprehensive evidence that competency development is a fundamental strategy for improving organizational performance and offers practical implications for managers and policymakers in designing sustainable human resource development programs.

This study is motivated by the significant role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the national economy, particularly in generating employment and supporting economic growth, while still facing challenges related to product quality and competitiveness. In this context, product curation emerges as a strategic mechanism to enhance quality standards and market readiness, making the role of curators increasingly important. This study aims to analyze the influence of curator competence, digital curation technology, work environment, work motivation, work targets, teamwork, and personality traits on job satisfaction and curator performance in MSMEs, as well as to examine the role of job satisfaction as a mediating variable and commitment as a moderating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory design, using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to 251 curators affiliated with the East Java Curation House. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression, along with mediation and moderation testing. The findings indicate that curator competence, digital curation technology, work targets, teamwork, and job satisfaction have a significant effect on curator performance, while job satisfaction also mediates several relationships among variables. However, curator commitment does not act as a moderating variable. The implications of this study highlight the importance of strengthening curator competence, enhancing the utilization of digital technology, and developing structured and collaborative work systems to improve curator performance and the sustainable competitiveness of MSMEs.

Law Number 11 of 2012 emphasizes restorative justice, diversion, and the protection and fulfillment of children’s rights within the juvenile justice system. In addition, Law Number 22 of 2022 highlights the importance of guidance and assistance aimed at supporting the social reintegration of children in conflict with the law. However, the implementation of these legal provisions at the Class I Correctional Center (Bapas) in Banda Aceh has not been fully effective due to several challenges, including the limited number of officers, inadequate initial assistance, and constraints in reporting and inter-institutional coordination. This study aims to analyze the implementation of assistance provided to juvenile correctional clients at Bapas Class I Banda Aceh and identify factors affecting its effectiveness. The research employs an empirical juridical method with descriptive qualitative analysis based on interviews, documentation, and legal literature. The findings reveal that assistance has been provided throughout all judicial stages, including pre-adjudication, adjudication, and post-adjudication processes. These activities involve community research, assistance during diversion and court proceedings, and post-verdict guidance. Nevertheless, implementation remains suboptimal due to internal factors such as limited Community Advisors and heavy workloads, as well as external factors including insufficient family support, limited community acceptance, and weak coordination between institutions. These issues affect the effectiveness of assistance and hinder children’s successful social reintegration.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Governance principles—transparency, accountability, participation, effectiveness, efficiency, rule of law, and inclusivity—in public administration services at the Sungai Tabukan Sub-district Office, especially in the Service, Economy, and Social Welfare Section. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of sub-district officials and service user communities. The data was analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn, and tested for validity by triangulation and member check techniques. The results of the study show that procedural transparency, compliance with SOPs, and administrative accountability mechanisms have been running relatively well, so that services such as SKKM, marriage recommendations, and population documents can be processed openly and can be traced. However, the limitations of human resources, facilities, and digital infrastructure cause the effectiveness and efficiency of services to still be conditional and depend on key actors. Community participation has been facilitated through forums and feedback channels, but it is still dominated by village intermediaries so that the direct involvement of residents is not optimal. In terms of the rule of law and inclusivity, services have been based on regulations and are non-discriminatory, although there are still inequality in access and speed of services between regions. The main supporting factors include leadership commitment, internal work culture, and the existence of SOPs, while inhibiting factors include limited human resources, facilities, and information systems that have not been integrated. It was concluded that the implementation of Good Governance in public administration services in Sungai Tabukan District has been running functionally, but has not been fully consolidated systemically. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen policies through the digitization of services, increase the capacity of the apparatus, improve facilities, integrate data-based accountability and transparency systems, and expand citizen participation channels to realize more professional, fair, and sustainable public administration service.

Ballast water plays a crucial role in maintaining ship stability during shipping, but it also carries environmental and human health risks due to the heavy metals it carries. This study aims to examine the health risks posed by exposure to heavy metals in ballast water and to assess the effectiveness of management practices implemented in the maritime industry. Using a literature review method, this study examines various scientific sources related to the content of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) in ballast water, as well as their impacts on human health and marine ecosystems. The results indicate that heavy metals in ballast water can cause long-term toxic effects such as neurological disorders, kidney damage, and respiratory and reproductive disorders. The greatest risk is experienced by maritime workers who are directly exposed through inhalation or skin contact during the ballast water sampling and processing process. To minimize these risks, strict work safety protocols, improved ballast water treatment technology, and regular monitoring of heavy metal levels are required. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of strengthening ballast water management policies and practices that are oriented towards human health and environmental sustainability.

The development of information technology encourages government agencies to switch from manual systems to digital systems that are more efficient and accurate. One important aspect of office administration is recording the absence of village officials, which is often done conventionally so it is prone to errors, data manipulation, and takes longer in the recapitulation process. Based on these problems, this research designs and implements a Qr-Code based attendance system at the Palatta Village Government Office. The design of this system is to provide a faster, more accurate and transparent attendance solution by utilizing Qr-Code technology which is integrated into a web-based application. The system is built with main features such as user login, Qr-Code scanning, attendance history, as well as an admin dashboard to manage data and generate reports. The results of implementation and testing using the Black Box method show that all functions run as required. Testing on users also shows that the system is easy to use, speeds up the attendance process, and helps admins in monitoring and recapitulating data. Thus, this Qr-Code attendance system is suitable to be implemented as a substitute for manual methods to increase work efficiency and discipline in the village office environment.
