Purchase decisions represent a consumer’s process of selecting a product or service among various available alternatives. This study investigates the determinants of batik purchasing decisions in the modern market context, emphasizing shopping experience, traditional product quality, and brand image at the Tinularsih Batik Outlet in Temanggung. The study involved a population of 500 consumers, with a sample of 83 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. The empirical results reveal that traditional product quality has a significant positive effect on purchase decisions, while shopping experience shows a positive yet statistically insignificant influence. Furthermore, brand image does not significantly affect consumer purchase decisions. Theoretically, this study enriches consumer behavior literature by demonstrating that traditional product attributes remain a dominant factor influencing purchase decisions in culturally rooted industries such as batik. From a managerial perspective, the findings highlight the need for batik retailers to prioritize consistent product quality and authenticity, while also enhancing experiential elements and strengthening brand positioning to remain competitive in the modern marketplace.

The protection of workers’ rights represents a constitutional mandate within Indonesia’s rule of law framework. Although the national labor law system provides a civil litigation mechanism through the Industrial Relations Court to resolve disputes, violations of workers’ rights still frequently occur in practice. This study aims to analyze, from normative and theoretical perspectives, the protection of workers’ rights through civil lawsuit mechanisms and to evaluate their effectiveness in achieving substantive justice. The research applies a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches to examine relevant legal provisions and their implementation. The findings reveal that the civil litigation mechanism provides a clear legal basis for workers to pursue claims and defend their rights. However, its effectiveness in practice remains limited due to several challenges, including structural constraints within the legal system, complex procedural requirements, and unequal bargaining power between workers and employers. These conditions often hinder workers from obtaining fair outcomes. Therefore, policy reform, simplification of legal procedures, and stronger access to justice are necessary to ensure more effective and substantive protection of workers’ rights in Indonesia.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a crucial aspect in manufacturing industries due to the high risk of workplace accidents caused by heavy machinery, chemical substances, and intensive production activities. Companies usually provide Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) as safety guidelines; however, SOPs are often delivered in long textual formats that are less engaging, making workers reluctant to read or difficult to understand quickly. This study aims to design an infographic-based SOP media as an effective visual communication tool to improve workers’ understanding of safety procedures. The research applies a qualitative method with a design approach through workplace observation, interviews with HSE personnel, literature review, and design validation using questionnaires. The results produce infographic media in the form of posters and signage presenting PPE usage procedures, hazard warnings, and evacuation steps using safety color codes, icons, and readable typography. The conclusion indicates that infographic SOP media is more effective than text-based SOP because it improves readability, comprehension, and workers’ memory of safety procedures.

Industrial development in Indonesia has significantly contributed to national economic growth; however, it also poses potential risks of environmental pollution when corporate waste management is not conducted properly. Environmental pollution resulting from corporate waste activities may cause harm to surrounding communities, including health problems, ecosystem degradation, as well as material and immaterial losses. In this context, the class action mechanism serves as a relevant legal instrument to collectively advocate for the rights of affected communities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the class action mechanism in environmental pollution cases based on Decision Number 29/Pdt.G/2023/PN.Skh and to evaluate its effectiveness in providing legal protection and restoring the rights of affected communities. This research employs normative legal research using statute approach, case approach, and conceptual approach. The findings indicate that the class action mechanism in the aforementioned decision fulfilled the requirements of numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy of representation as regulated under Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) Number 1 of 2002. Procedurally, the class action proved effective in enhancing access to justice, ensuring judicial efficiency, and strengthening the protection of the constitutional right to a good and healthy environment. However, its substantive effectiveness remains dependent on the fulfillment of formal requirements, the quality of evidence presented, and the consistent application of environmental law principles by judges. Therefore, the class action mechanism constitutes an important instrument in environmental law enforcement, yet it requires consistent regulatory support and judicial practice to achieve optimal ecological justice.

Three-phase induction motors are essential components in industrial cooling systems that require reliable overcurrent protection to maintain operational continuity and prevent equipment damage. In the Cooling Tower Pump panel at PT DongJin Indonesia, a limitation was identified where the terminal of the Electronic Overcurrent Relay (EOCR) could not accommodate the 50 mm² power cable, preventing direct current measurement. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating a 200:5 A Current Transformer (CT) with the EOCR as an adaptive protection solution that is both safe and efficient. The research employs a case study approach through field observation, motor current measurement using a Fluke 303 Clamp Meter, and descriptive analysis of the recorded data. The results indicate that the three motors operate under stable load conditions, with current values ranging from 236.7 A to 275.7 A, while the secondary current detected by the EOCR ranges from 3.7 A to 3.9 A, consistent with the CT transformation ratio. During the starting phase, the current surged to 600.4 A without causing false tripping, demonstrating that the EOCR effectively distinguishes temporary inrush current from actual fault conditions. Therefore, the integration of CT–EOCR is proven to enhance measurement safety, maintain motor operational stability, and support efficient system maintenance in industrial environments.

This study aims to analyze the influence of economic growth, population, and education on poverty in Sidoarjo Regency during the period 2014–2023, motivated by the persistently high poverty rate despite the region experiencing rapid economic growth and industrial development. Using secondary data from BPS and analyzed quantitatively through multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS, this study found that the three variables simultaneously have a significant effect on poverty, while partially, education is the most effective factor in reducing poverty compared to economic growth and population, which have a negative but not significant effect. These findings highlight the importance of equitable distribution and improvement in the quality of education as a primary strategy for poverty alleviation, as well as the need for more inclusive economic policies. Further research is recommended to include other variables such as income inequality, unemployment, and the quality of infrastructure to make the analysis of poverty determinants more comprehensive

Industrial development in coastal areas through the construction of a Steam Power Plant (PLTU) has significant economic implications for the sustainability of fishermen's livelihoods. This study aims to analyze the impact of PLTU operations on the socio-economic conditions of fishermen in Teluk Sepang Village, Bengkulu City. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach with a snowball sampling technique, involving 26 small-scale and traditional fishermen directly affected. The results indicate that damage to the coastal ecosystem due to PLTU activities reduces water quality and the availability of fish resources, resulting in decreased catches and income instability. Fishermen are forced to venture farther out to sea, incurring increased operational costs, further putting pressure on household economic conditions. This economic pressure exacerbates fishermen's vulnerability due to limited capital and high dependence on marine resources. Fishermen's adaptation strategy involves diversifying their livelihoods into non-fishing sectors, such as laboring to supplement household income. Changes in social conditions are reflected in the decline in fishermen's solidarity, marked by a weakening of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) and a reduction in collective cooperation due to economic pressures. This study demonstrates that PLTU operations impact the socio-economic structure of fishermen, necessitating sustainable protection and empowerment policies for coastal communities.  

This study aims to investigate the skill gaps experienced by bachelor’s degree graduates in Indonesia when facing the dual demands of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. The method applied in this research is a systematic literature review, synthesizing findings from 21 scientific articles focusing on the dynamics of skill gaps and the effectiveness of higher education interventions in Indonesia. The study findings reveal two main categories of competency gaps. In the context of Industry 4.0, the most significant deficiencies are observed in specific hard skills, particularly data literacy, artificial intelligence proficiency, and automation across various sectors. Meanwhile, within the Society 5.0 dimension, deeper gaps emerge in soft skills and human-centered competencies, including complex problem-solving, emotional intelligence, creativity, and environmentally sustainable skills. These human-centered skill gaps play a critical role in enhancing graduate value as AI technologies increasingly replace routine tasks. Although the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka program shows positive outcomes in improving sustainability skills and digital certification, it has not fully succeeded in driving fundamental transformation of higher education learning outcomes, limiting alignment with sustainability principles and the Society 5.0 approach. It can be concluded that Indonesian higher education faces the challenge of undertaking fundamental curriculum reform to integrate human-centered competencies as a foundation for preparing future human resources.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in supporting the Indonesian economy, especially in rural areas where they contribute significantly to employment and local income. Sait Buttu Saribu Village in Simalungun Regency possesses considerable potential in the agricultural, tourism, and culinary sectors, which can be developed through strong MSME activities. Nevertheless, many local MSMEs continue to experience challenges related to limited promotion, weak branding, and restricted market access. This study aims to analyze visit-based and promotional strategies for MSMEs as an effort to strengthen the village economy and enhance business competitiveness. The research methods consist of a literature review of relevant previous studies and field observations conducted through community service activities in the village. The findings indicate that industrial visits, digital promotion via social media platforms, the utilization of Google Maps for location visibility, and branding that highlights local wisdom are effective strategies for expanding market reach and increasing MSME competitiveness. Through strong synergy among the village government, MSME actors, and the local community, MSMEs in Sait Buttu Saribu Village can grow more optimally and contribute to sustainable economic development and tourism.
