This study aims to determine the influence of Organizational Culture (X1), Work Climate (X2), and Work Discipline (X3) on Employee Job Satisfaction (Y) at a company with 52 employees as respondents. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a saturated sample method, meaning all members of the population were included in the sample. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale and then analyzed using SPSS version 25. The research employed a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationships between the variables. The results showed that both organizational culture and work discipline had a significant and positive effect on employee job satisfaction. A strong organizational culture contributes to a shared vision, values, and sense of belonging, which enhances job satisfaction. Work discipline, on the other hand, ensures employees meet performance expectations and follow organizational rules, which promotes a stable and productive work environment. Although the work climate variable did not show as strong an influence as the other two, it still plays an important role in shaping employee perceptions and comfort in the workplace. Overall, the findings suggest that improving organizational culture and reinforcing work discipline are effective strategies for enhancing employee job satisfaction, while maintaining a supportive work climate can further support this effort.

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. People with disabilities are seen not only as part of human diversity but also as part of the whole body of Christ, and therefore, their service must be prioritized in church life. This research uses a qualitative descriptive analytical approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with six pastors from GPKB districts in Indonesia to explore theological understanding, practical experience, and challenges in serving congregants with disabilities. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify patterns of views, service practices, and obstacles that arise. The results show that 84% of pastors have a positive perspective on inclusive service and support congregants with disabilities. However, the study also found challenges such as inadequate physical facilities, minimal service strategies, and limited theological understanding of disabilities. In conclusion, a paradigm shift, capacity building for pastors, and ongoing institutional support are needed to create an inclusive and disability-friendly church.

Consistent and efficient concrete quality in each implementation is one of the main factors in the success of construction projects. Concrete as a structural material requires strict quality control in order to meet the technical standards that have been set. One way to improve the quality of concrete is to add certain additives to the job mix formula (JMF). This research is focused on the application of SG type additives known as chemical-based additives to improve the properties of fresh concrete and hard concrete. SG additives have an important function in increasing workability, speeding up or slowing down the binding time as needed, maintaining quality stability, and strengthening concrete finishes. In this study, a comparison was made between a concrete mixture with SG additives and a concrete mixture without additives. The tests included slump parameters, initial binding time, and compressive strength at 7 and 28 days of age. The test results showed a significant difference, especially in the improvement of the consistency and compressive strength of concrete with the use of additives. The results of the discussion showed a comparison of Trial Mix 1 and Trial Mix 2 that are different in terms of material composition, cost efficiency, and compressive strength of concrete. Trial Mix 2 with the composition of cement, admixture, water, and aggregate (sand and split) showed more optimal results. The compressive strength achieved was 821,396.00 kg/cm² at the age of 28 days. In terms of cost, Trial Mix 2 requires Rp. 351,582.00 per m³, with an efficiency difference of around Rp. 32,953.00 per m³ compared to the previous mix

This study aims to analyze the operational feasibility of providing child-friendly recreational facilities at airport terminals to enhance service quality or Level of Service (LoS). A qualitative approach based on a literature review was used to examine various sources and previous research to evaluate the urgency, impact, as well as design and implementation strategies for child-friendly facilities at airports.

The findings indicate that the presence of these facilities significantly contributes to improving user perceptions of the airport’s service quality. The psychological comfort of family passengers is also enhanced, with safe and comfortable spaces for children. This not only creates a more inclusive environment but also provides operational benefits such as better terminal space management and efficiency. Child-centered design plays a crucial role in improving facility quality, where modular design is seen as a practical solution to adapt the facilities to the evolving needs of the terminal. Moreover, collaboration with private sectors is considered a strategic approach to support the provision of these facilities, given the substantial investment required. The study concludes that investing in child-friendly facilities at airports is a strategic decision, as it has the potential to enhance the airport's competitiveness. Well-designed facilities also improve user satisfaction and create a more comfortable travel experience. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for airport managers and provide a foundation for future research that quantitatively measures the impact of these facilities.

The use of fossil-fueled vehicles has long been a major cause of exhaust emissions that pollute the air and exacerbate global climate change. In an effort to address this problem, Indonesia has begun developing electric vehicles as a more environmentally friendly alternative solution. Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered capable of reducing dependence on fossil fuels while simultaneously reducing air pollution levels. The Indonesian government has demonstrated its commitment to supporting electric vehicle development by issuing several strategic policies, including Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 55 of 2019 concerning the Acceleration of the Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicle Program for Road Transportation, and Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 7 of 2022 concerning the Use of Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicles as official vehicles for central and regional government agencies. In line with these policies, research was conducted to assess the power consumption efficiency of the Ken Dedes electric vehicle prototype, designed using a 250-watt DC motor and a mid-drive system. The main focus of this research was to analyze the effect of variations in module input voltage and gear size on the vehicle's power consumption level. The method used was an experimental approach with a quantitative approach, where a series of tests were conducted on several gear combinations and input voltage levels. The results of the study indicate that variations in these two parameters—gear size and input voltage—significantly affect motor power consumption. The most optimal combination in this study achieved a power consumption efficiency of 6 Wh/km. This figure demonstrates the most energy-efficient performance in vehicle operation and can serve as a benchmark for further development of similar electric vehicles. This research provides an important contribution to efforts to encourage the use of more efficient and sustainable electric vehicles in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in bi-LED projector power and the use of a voltage stabilizer on the luminous flux on a motorcycle. The luminous flux produced by a motorcycle lighting system plays a very important role in improving rider visibility and safety, especially at night. Therefore, this study uses a quantitative experimental method with a two-way factorial approach (Two-Way ANOVA) to test the effect of two main variables, namely the bi-LED projector power and the voltage stabilizer configuration. The power variables tested include three power levels, namely 35 W, 70 W, and 105 W, while the voltage stabilizer configuration includes three conditions, namely without a stabilizer, 14 V, and 14.5 V. Luminous flux measurements were carried out using a lux meter at a distance of five meters from the reflective surface, and the results were then combined into lumen units to facilitate comparison between power variations and stabilizers. The results showed that increasing the bi-LED projector power significantly increased the luminous flux produced. The 105 W power output produced the highest luminous flux, reaching 42,319 lumens when combined with a 14.5 V voltage stabilizer. This demonstrates that the combination of high power and proper voltage stabilizer use can improve the quality of motorcycle lighting. The very low P-value (0.000) and R² of 100% indicate that the predictive model used in this study is robust and reliable. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of using a voltage stabilizer in motorcycle lighting systems. A voltage stabilizer is not only a complementary device but also a crucial component for improving visibility and driving safety, especially at night. Therefore, proper use of a stabilizer can improve lighting performance and provide significant safety benefits.

This research examines the phenomenon of Gado-Gado Boplo as a legendary eating place recognized by Kompas, Flokq, and Nibble articles. The research uses quantitative methods using questionnaires via Google Form and secondary data from the internet, journals and interviews. The sample used was 100 people who had eaten at Gado-Gado Boplo using a Likert scale. All questions were declared valid, with a calculated R value > R table, after which the data was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha for reliability and Pearson Correlation for validity. Apart from that, the Cronbach alpha data value > 0.6 shows its reliability. The data was then subjected to multiple regression analysis, classical assumption testing, and hypothesis testing (T and F tests). The Excellence variable (X3) has a partially significant influence on the Purchasing Decision variable (Y), but the Strength (X1) and Uniqueness variables (X2) do not have a partial influence on the Purchasing Decision variable (Y), according to the T test. Furthermore, jji F shows that variables X1, X2, and X3 all influence Y significantly at the same time. In conclusion, superiority has a favorable and large influence on purchasing choices, but strength and uniqueness only have a small influence. These three X factors all have a significant influence on purchasing choices (Y) at the same time.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the combination of oil viscosity and shock load on the compression characteristics of telescopic shock absorbers on motorcycles, which include depth, time, and compression speed parameters. The experiment was carried out using two levels of oil viscosity, namely 10 cSt and 15 cSt (equivalent to SAE 10W and SAE 15W), as well as two shock load variations, namely 40 kg and 50 kg, which were dropped vertically from a height of 30 cm. Compression depth measurements were carried out using a slow-motion camera at a speed of 240 fps and the results were validated using Kinovea software. Meanwhile, the compression time measurement is carried out with a stopwatch, and the compression speed is calculated from the results of the comparison between the compression depth and the compression time. The experimental data were analyzed using Minitab software with the Two-Way ANOVA method to determine the influence of each variable on response. The results of the analysis showed that oil viscosity and shock load had a significant influence on the compression depth, while the viscosity of the oil also significantly affected the compression speed. However, neither the viscosity of the oil nor the shock load exerted a significant influence on the compression time. To support the results of the experiment, a mass-spring-damper system theory model approach was used, which represents the dynamic behavior of shock absorbers. This model helps to explain the compression response to changes in fluid and load parameters theoretically. Based on the analysis of experimental results and model simulations, the optimal combination that provides the best performance is found in the use of oil viscosity of 10 cSt (SAE 10W) with a shock load of 50 kg.

Disc discs are the main component in a motorcycle braking system that functions to convert kinetic energy into heat energy through friction. The geometric design of the disc, including the diameter and number of holes, affects the effectiveness of braking as well as the heat dissipation ability. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in diameter and number of holes on disc discs on braking distance and disc temperature. The research method used was an experimental method with three variations in disc diameter (190 mm, 220 mm, and 260 mm) and three variations in the number of holes (30, 36, and 42 holes). The test was carried out through a controlled braking procedure at an initial speed of 40 km/h on flat road surfaces with stable weather conditions. Braking distance data is measured using ultrasonic sensors, while disc temperature is recorded with a high-accuracy infrared thermometer. The results showed that the diameter of the disc disc had the most significant influence on the braking distance. The larger the diameter, the greater the braking moment resulting so that the stopping distance becomes shorter. The number of holes in the disc also plays a role in heat dissipation because the holes enlarge the heat dissipation area. However, the increase in the number of holes tends to slightly increase the braking distance due to a reduction in the area of frictional contact field. The most optimal configuration is found on a 260 mm diameter disc with 42 holes, which results in the shortest braking distance of 8.25 meters and the lowest temperature rise of 4.47°C.  Statistical analysis using Two-Way ANOVA confirmed that the diameter and number of holes had a significant effect individually, but there was no significant interaction between the two. These findings confirm that the selection of the right disc dimensions is critical to improving braking performance, thermal efficiency, and rider safety.

This study discusses the effect of valve weight and clearance on the efficiency of a hydraulic ram pump, with a focus on optimizing water discharge efficiency in the Sumberingin Tourism Area, Wringinsongo Village, Tumpang, Malang Regency. The method used in this study is an experiment with variations in valve weight consisting of 10 kg, 11 kg, and 12 kg, as well as valve clearances varying between 16.5 mm, 24.5 mm, and 32.5 mm. The results showed that the combination of a valve weight of 10 kg and a clearance of 16.5 mm produced the highest water discharge efficiency, namely 69.7 liters per minute, with an optimal efficiency of around 33%. In the optimization process, the application of Design of Experiment (DOE) revealed that a valve weight of 11 kg and a clearance of 16.5 mm can produce a maximum discharge efficiency of 63.155 with a desirability value reaching 0.7671. These findings indicate that proper settings on valve weight and clearance can contribute significantly to increasing the efficiency of a hydraulic ram pump. This research provides valuable insights into improving the performance and reliability of hydraulic ram pumps in rural water distribution systems. Understanding the influence of these variables is expected to yield more effective solutions for water resource management, particularly in areas requiring efficient irrigation systems. Furthermore, this research also opens up opportunities for further research on hydraulic ram pump optimization by considering other factors that can influence the efficiency and performance of the overall water distribution system. It is hoped that the results of this research can serve as a reference for the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly hydraulic ram pump technology, as well as supporting the sustainability of water resource management in rural areas.
