This study aimed to better understand how factors like price, taste, and location affect how much consumers want to buy Elo Pia Kediri products. The research used a quantitative method because it helps collect objective and measurable information that can be analyzed using statistics to make clear conclusions. The data came from two main places: primary and secondary sources. Primary data was gathered directly from consumers through questionnaires that asked about price, taste, location, and how much they wanted to buy the product. Secondary data was collected from books, articles, and other documents related to the topic. The study included all consumers who had bought Elo Pia Kediri products. However, since the total number of people wasn’t known and was quite large, the researcher selected a representative group. The sample size was 96 people. The method used to choose participants was accidental sampling, which means people were selected randomly or by chance as they were met at the research location and agreed to take part. The results showed that price has a big effect on how much consumers want to buy the product. This means the prices set by Elo Pia Kediri match what consumers can afford and what they think is fair, which helps them decide to buy. When prices are seen as fair, affordable, and matching the quality of the product, it encourages people to make purchases. Taste also strongly influences buying interest. When a product has a tasty and unique flavor that fits what people like, it makes them interested in buying it. Taste is an emotional factor that affects how happy consumers are with the product and makes them want to buy it again. Location also plays a big role in how much people want to buy. A location that is easy to reach and close to where people usually go out makes it easier for them to buy Elo Pia Kediri products. The F test showed that together, price, taste, and location all have a significant impact on how much consumers want to buy the product.  

This study aims to determine the influence of local Bugis cultural values specifically Lempu (honesty and integrity), Temmappasilaingeng (impartial justice), and service quality on customer loyalty through satisfaction in laundry businesses in Watampone. A quantitative approach was employed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS 4, involving 120 respondents from three major sub-districts in Bone Regency. The results reveal that Lempu culture does not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction (T = 1.498; p = 0.137) or loyalty (T = 0.542; p = 0.589). Similarly, Temmappasilaingeng does not significantly influence satisfaction (T = 0.746; p = 0.457) or loyalty (T = 1.347; p = 0.180). Service quality, however, significantly affects customer satisfaction (T = 4.984; p = 0.000), but does not directly influence loyalty (T = 0.915; p = 0.362). Meanwhile, customer satisfaction significantly impacts loyalty (T = 2.760; p = 0.007). Mediation analysis also shows that customer satisfaction significantly mediates the relationship between service quality and loyalty (T = 2.437; p = 0.016), but not between Lempu (T = 1.318; p = 0.190) or Temmappasilaingeng (T = 0.702; p = 0.484) and loyalty. In conclusion, customer satisfaction is a key factor in building loyalty, and service quality is the dominant factor driving that satisfaction. Although local culture holds essential moral values, its influence on loyalty needs to be realized in the form of tangible service experiences to be directly felt by customers.

This study aims to examine the effect of financial ratios on financial distress in transportation and logistics sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2024 period. The research employed a documentation method by collecting secondary data from the companies’ financial statements within the observed period. The financial ratios analyzed include profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activity. The level of financial distress was measured using the Altman Z-Score method. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, consisting of 22 companies observed over six years. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews 12, with the selected model being the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The partial test results indicate that profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activity ratios do not have a significant effect on financial distress. However, the simultaneous test results show that the four variables together significantly affect financial distress. These findings suggest that financial ratios cannot serve as a single indicator in assessing a company’s financial distress. Nevertheless, when used collectively and combined with the Altman Z-Score measurement, they can provide a more accurate assessment of a company’s financial distress condition.

This study aims to understand the perspectives of pastors from the Punguan Kristen Batak Church (GPKB) regarding disability-friendly services for congregants. As a faith community, the church has a significant responsibility to create an inclusive environment where every member, including those with disabilities, is accepted and served equally.
