Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a crucial aspect that must be addressed by companies to protect employees from the risks of accidents and health issues in the workplace. This study aims to examine the legal responsibilities of companies regarding the implementation of OHS and to explore the challenges they face in fulfilling these obligations. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, by collecting data through literature studies and in-depth interviews with relevant parties. The results show that companies generally have a good understanding of their legal obligations related to OHS, which is reflected in policies and routine training provided to employees. However, the implementation still faces several obstacles such as limited facilities, lack of supervision, and low work discipline, all of which affect the effectiveness of OHS practices. Legally, the regulations governing OHS are adequate, but law enforcement and monitoring must be improved to ensure that companies fulfill their responsibilities optimally. Furthermore, the social and ethical dimensions are also essential in building a safety culture that supports employee well-being and business continuity. In conclusion, the legal responsibility of companies for OHS must be implemented comprehensively and sustainably to ensure a safe and productive work environment.

This study aims to analyze the process of planning, recruitment, and placement of Human Resources (HR) at Saudara Jaya Tofu Factory. The availability of quality HR is a crucial factor in supporting operational effectiveness and achieving organizational goals, especially in small-scale manufacturing industries such as tofu factories. The research methods used are in-depth interviews with owners/managers and key employees, and direct observation of daily activities related to HR management in the factory environment. The results of the study indicate that the HR planning process at Saudara Jaya Tofu Factory tends to be informal and based on immediate needs, not long-term projections. Recruitment is mostly done through recommendations from existing employees or word of mouth in the surrounding environment, with selection criteria that focus on work experience and willingness to learn. Employee placement is done flexibly, adjusting to daily production needs and observed individual abilities. Nevertheless, it was found that this informal approach was quite effective in meeting the operational needs of Saudara Jaya Tofu Factory, considering the relatively simple scale of the business and characteristics of the work.

Soil moisture is a crucial factor in agriculture that affects plant growth and crop productivity. In modern agricultural systems, accurate soil moisture monitoring is essential for optimizing water usage and enhancing the efficiency of automatic irrigation systems. This study aims to develop an Internet of Things (IoT)-based soil moisture monitoring system and evaluate the performance of three types of soil moisture sensors: Soil Moisture FC-28, Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor, and Soil Moisture Hygrometer Module Sensor. The evaluation compares the accuracy and effectiveness of each sensor in measuring soil moisture. The research methodology involves measuring soil moisture in ten different soil samples using the three sensors simultaneously. The system is based on the ESP32 microcontroller, where data from the sensors are processed and displayed on an LCD Liquid Crystal I2C 20x4. Data analysis is conducted using the one-way ANOVA statistical method to determine whether there are significant differences among the measurement results of the three sensors.The results indicate that each sensor exhibits different measurement characteristics based on its working principle. The Soil Moisture FC-28 sensor, which operates on resistance, shows high sensitivity to changes in soil moisture but is susceptible to corrosion. The Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor is more durable as it does not have direct contact with the soil, yet it requires more precise calibration. Meanwhile, the Soil Moisture Hygrometer Module Sensor provides more stable results under various environmental conditions. The one-way ANOVA analysis reveals no significant differences in the measurement results among the three sensors.

The health sector, especially hospitals, relies heavily on the competence and professionalism of human resources to provide high quality services. Strategic development of human resources (HR) is the key to achieving organizational goals and improving service quality. This narrative literature review discusses strategic HR development in the hospital environment with a focus on three main pillars: training programs, leadership development, and performance evaluation. Findings show that training helps health workers adapt to advances in technology and medical innovation; leadership development drives accountability and collaboration which is critical in complex environments; and performance evaluation supports continuous improvement by identifying development needs and aligning individual contributions with organizational goals. The integration of these three strategies increases professionalism, operational efficiency and service quality in hospitals. Future research is recommended to examine how this HR development strategy can be adapted in various health care contexts to ensure its sustainability and effectiveness.

This study aims to analyze the psychological dynamics of the character Alie in the novel Rumah untuk Alie by Lenn Liu using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic approach. The focus of the study lies in identifying and interpreting the personality structures of id, ego, and superego, as well as the ego defense mechanisms that emerge as responses to trauma and violence within the family environment. The research method employed is qualitative descriptive, utilizing content analysis techniques on the narrative, dialogue, and monologue of the main character. The results indicate that Alie’s id is manifested in a deep longing for love and protection, the ego functions in adapting and adjusting to the reality of a rejecting family, while the superego is reflected through feelings of guilt and a tendency to accept mistreatment as a form of self-punishment. These findings confirm that traumatic experiences and family pressures significantly influence the development of personality and mental health of the character. This study also highlights the relevance of literary psychology in revealing psychological issues faced by contemporary Indonesian society through literary works.

Demographic changes and the acceleration of digital transformation have presented new challenges in leadership practices, especially in the healthcare sector of ASEAN countries. Generation Z, who grew up in a digital environment, brings different values and preferences to leadership styles. This study aims to identify the leadership model that best suits the characteristics of Gen Z in the context of healthcare, as well as analyze the contextual factors that influence it in the Southeast Asian region.This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies from various academic publications and empirical findings in ASEAN countries. Data are analyzed thematically to reveal the leadership patterns that are most relevant to the needs of Gen Z in the health sector.The study results show that transformational, participatory, and digital-based leadership styles are more effective for leading Gen Z healthcare workers. This generation rejects leadership models that are tightly controlled or micromanaged, and prefers leaders who support autonomy, collaboration, and innovation. Local cultural factors, such as traditional values and social collectivity, also reinforce the importance of adapting leadership styles to diverse cultural contexts. Leadership success is also greatly influenced by the leader's ability to bridge cross-generational differences and manage communication effectively.These findings contribute to the development of a generationally and contextually relevant leadership model, as well as serve as a reference in formulating HR development strategies and leadership training programs in multigenerational health organizations in Southeast Asia.
