This study aims to examine the impact of digital payments, budget target clarity, and reporting systems on the performance of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in South Lampung Regency. The research background is motivated by the fact that the performance of BUMDes nationally, including in the region, remains relatively low, with most still categorized as pioneers or beginners. The research method used is quantitative with a survey approach using a questionnaire, distributed to 77 BUMDes managers who met the sample criteria. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) with the SmartPLS 4.0 software. The findings indicate that the reporting system has a significant positive effect on BUMDes' performance. Conversely, digital payments and budget target clarity were found to have no significant effect. These findings imply the importance of strengthening reporting systems that prioritize transparency, accuracy, and ease of access as a strategic step to improve BUMDes performance. Meanwhile, the adoption of digital payments and improved budget planning still require support through enhanced human resource capacity and adequate infrastructure. Practically, this research contributes valuable insights for BUMDes managers and local governments in formulating policies for institutional strengthening.

This research endeavors to scrutinize how keen students are on learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMKS Muhammadiyah 9 Medan. The impetus for this investigation arises from the noticeable lack of enthusiasm among students when they attend PAI lessons. These lessons are frequently seen as uninteresting, lacking variety, and less stimulating when compared to the vocational subjects they are studying. These circumstances create difficulties for PAI instructors, who must establish a learning environment that not only delivers content but also cultivates real motivation and a genuine passion in the students. A qualitative descriptive method was used for this study, and information was gathered through classroom observations, conversations with instructors and students, and surveys to gain insights into students' views on their educational experiences. The information was analyzed to pinpoint the internal and external elements that affect learning interest. The results show that the students' level of interest in learning is somewhere between moderate and low. Personal drive, study routines, and students' mental preparation are examples of internal variables, whereas teaching strategies, the use of educational resources, and the backing of the school setting and family are examples of external variables. The research emphasizes the necessity for teaching strategies that are relevant, diverse, engaging, and more in line with the requirements of the students, based on these findings. It is hoped that learning PAI will not only improve cognitive comprehension but will also raise awareness of the significance of Islamic principles in daily life.

The level of anxiety during competition needs to be considered because it can interfere with the athlete's focus, cause difficulty in controlling movements, reduce the quality of the game, and hinder the application of strategies, which overall has a negative impact on athlete performance. This study was motivated by the observation of researchers who found that there were still many athletes experiencing symptoms of anxiety, such as cold sweaty hands and nausea. The research method used was a survey with Nyak Amir's Sport Anxiety Scale (SAS) questionnaire consisting of 22 statement items. The subjects of this study were 20 athletes who had met the criteria and were analyzed using descriptive statistics with Microsoft Excel and SPSS. The results of the research on the anxiety of Dukati Taekwondo Club athletes before the match were in the “rather low” category with an average score of 41.25. However, if analyzed further based on aspects of anxiety, there are differences in anxiety levels in each aspect. The somatic aspect has the highest anxiety with a score of 15.5, showing physical symptoms such as heart palpitations and body trembling. Motor aspects with a score of 14.75, affective with a score of 5.45, and cognitive 5.55 were mostly in the moderate category, reflecting muscle tension, feelings of anxiety, and negative thoughts before competing.  

The development of wearable technology, especially smartwatches, opens up great opportunities in preventive health monitoring, especially in rural areas such as Sembung Village, Wringinanom, Gresik, where access to health services is limited. However, this technology is still alien to the local community. Preliminary surveys show that the majority of citizens, including health cadres, have never used or even seen a smartwatch in person, and view it as a luxury and irrelevant item. In fact, the potential of smartwatches as “digital health assistants” is huge from tracking heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO₂), stress levels, to physical activity reminders that are essential for early detection of health disorders. This service activity aims to improve digital literacy and adoption of smartwatch technology through a participatory educational approach and direct assistance. Implementation methods include: (1) coordination with the village government and health workers, (2) Interactive socialization using local languages, (3) step-by-step practical training, (4) simulation of application in the field, and (5) pre-test and post-test evaluation of 27 participants (25 health cadres, 1 midwife, 1 nurse). The results showed significant improvements: function understanding from the original value of 1.8 increased to 4.2, consumption interest from the original value of 2.1 increased to 4.0, benefit perception from the original value of 1.9 increased to 4.3, self confidence from the original value of 1.5 increased to 3.8, and digital literacy awareness from the original value of 2.0 increased to 4.1. The hands-on approach proved effective in changing participants ' mindset from skeptical to enthusiastic, proving that the digital divide is not due to incompetence, but the lack of access to contextual education. The implication is that smartwatch has the potential to become a strategic tool for village health cadres in early detection and real-time data-based health education, provided that it is supported by sustainable mentoring.

Climate change and air pollution are necessitating a transition towards sustainable transportation. However, the adoption rate of electric motorcycles in West Kalimantan remains low. This study aims to analyze the factors shaping the intention to adopt electric motorcycles in this region using an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework. A quantitative method was employed, involving a survey of 200 respondents selected through purposive sampling, with the data analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a positive and significant influence on adoption intention. Notably, perceived ease of use emerged as the most dominant determinant, not only directly impacting intention but also indirectly influencing it through perceived usefulness. Among the external variables, compatibility was found to enhance perceived usefulness, while enjoyment positively affected perceived ease of use. Conversely, resource availability did not significantly shape initial perceptions. The implications of these findings suggest that stakeholders should prioritize strategic communication that highlights the ease of use, enjoyable riding experience, and functional benefits of electric motorcycles. These efforts should be supported by policies aimed at accelerating infrastructure development and providing incentives to encourage broader adoption.

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are a crucial component of hospital information systems that support the effectiveness, accuracy, and continuity of patient care. However, their implementation among nurses at Hospital X remains suboptimal due to barriers related to organizational culture, leadership, and individual motivation. This study aims to analyze the effect of organizational culture (X1) and transformational leadership (X2) on the implementation of EMR (Y) through work motivation (Z) as an intervening variable. The research applied an explanatory-causal design with a quantitative approach, using a cross-sectional survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to nurses and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that organizational culture and transformational leadership significantly influence EMR implementation both directly and indirectly through work motivation, with p-values less than 0.05. These results indicate that strong organizational values, collaborative culture, and transformational leadership that fosters motivation and innovation can improve nurses’ willingness and effectiveness in utilizing EMR. The study concludes that enhancing organizational and leadership factors, along with maintaining high work motivation, is essential to ensure successful EMR adoption and optimize healthcare service quality in hospitals.

However, simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly influence employee performance, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.579, indicating that 57.9% of employee performance variation can be explained by wages, workload, and work discipline. This study highlights the importance of a fair wage policy in enhancing performance, although other factors such as workload and discipline still need to be managed proportionally.

Water is a basic, irreplaceable human need, so its management must be effective, efficient, and sustainable. The Tanarawa Village Government, through the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), manages the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) to meet the community's clean water needs. However, various obstacles remain, ranging from suboptimal water quality, uneven distribution, and customer complaints. This situation raises questions about the extent to which service quality and complaints influence customer satisfaction at the Tanarawa Village PDAM, Waiblama District, Sikka Regency. This study aims to: (1) describe the service quality of the Tanarawa Village PDAM, (2) identify the types of complaints submitted by customers, and (3) analyze the influence of service quality and complaints on customer satisfaction. The research method used was a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey technique. Data were collected through questionnaires from 30 respondents who were customers of the Tanarawa Village PDAM. Data analysis included validity and reliability tests, multiple linear regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and coefficient of determination. The results of the study, based on descriptive analysis, indicate that service quality, complaints, and satisfaction are categorized as "Good," although there are still shortcomings in response speed, consistency of water distribution, and staff reliability. Customer complaints predominantly concern frequent interruptions in water flow, poor water quality, and slow response times, requiring improvement to Very Good. Statistical analysis of the effect of service quality on customer satisfaction shows a t_(count) > t_table = 3.325 > 1.99, concluding that service quality significantly influences customer satisfaction. Furthermore, statistical analysis of the effect of complaints on customer satisfaction also yielded a t_(count) > t_table = 3.917 > 1.99, concluding that customer complaints have a significant impact on satisfaction levels. Thus, this study confirms that consistent improvements in service quality and prompt and resolute complaint handling are important factors in increasing customer satisfaction. The results are expected to provide strategic input for the Tanarawa Village Water Company (PDAM) in improving its service system and strengthening relationships with the community.
