These findings emphasize that brand image is a major factor in increasing customer satisfaction, while service quality and price are more likely to be viewed as minimum standards by customers.

This study examines the legal protection of children's rights to inclusive education and its implications for the institutional governance of Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Indonesia. A normative juridical method with a descriptive-qualitative library-based approach is used to evaluate the coherence between macro-level child protection regulations and operational standards for school management. The data are entirely secondary, sourced from statutory laws, ministerial regulations, and pertinent scientific literature. The findings reveal a fundamental tension: the constitutional rights of children with special needs to access non-discriminatory ECE are robustly guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 35/2014 on Child Protection, and Law No. 8/2016 on Persons with Disabilities, yet a wide gap persists at the implementation level. This discrepancy arises because derivative ECE governance instruments including accreditation frameworks and curriculum standards still frame inclusion readiness as a voluntary component rather than a binding obligation. Consequently, ECE institutions encounter systemic barriers in human resource management, physical accessibility, and curricular flexibility. The study underscores the urgency of transitioning ECE management toward a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) and recommends that the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education reform accreditation instruments by embedding inclusive indicators as mandatory prerequisites for institutional feasibility, thereby aligning administrative governance with the fulfillment of children's constitutional rights.

The development of halal tourism has encouraged sharia hotels to provide services that are not only comfortable and functional, but also consistent with Islamic values and halal assurance. This study aims to analyze the integration strategy between sharia hotels and halal restaurants in increasing guest visits and satisfaction at Mangkuto Sharia Hotel Payakumbuh. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving hotel management, operational employees, guests, sharia certification experts, and representatives of the local government. The data were analyzed descriptively and strengthened through strategic analysis using the Resource-Based View (RBV), Value Chain, SWOT analysis, IFAS-EFAS matrix, TOWS matrix, and Blue Ocean Strategy. The findings reveal that service integration was implemented through sharia-based operational policies, halal assurance systems in restaurant activities, and cross-departmental coordination between the front office, housekeeping, and food and beverage departments. This integration created added value in the form of physical comfort, emotional trust, and spiritual peace for guests. Internal hotel data also indicated an increase in occupancy rates from 26% in 2020 to 52% in 2024 following the implementation of the sharia concept and halal restaurant integration. Strategic analysis positioned the hotel in Quadrant I (aggressive growth strategy), supported by its halal reputation, Islamic organizational culture, guest trust, and its uniqueness as the first sharia hotel in West Sumatra certified by the National Sharia Council–Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI). The implication of this study shows that the integration of sharia hospitality can serve as a competitive product strategy rather than merely a compliance instrument, while also supporting the development of regional halal tourism.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational marketing management in increasing the interest of new students at MTs Negeri 3 Bekasi City, with a focus on the application of the POAC management functions (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling). The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study design. Primary data were obtained through observation and in-depth interviews with the Madrasah Principal and the Vice Principal for Student Affairs, who serves as the Chair of the PMBM Committee, while secondary data were sourced from relevant journals and literature. The research results indicate that marketing planning was carried out systematically through the formation of the PMBM committee, academic, religious, and Quranic literacy selection processes, as well as the utilization of digital and print media. Organization involved all school components in a structured manner, while promotional activities highlighted students’ academic, non-academic, and moral achievements through social media and word of mouth. This strategy proved effective, as evidenced by the number of applicants far exceeding the admission quota. However, implementation still faces challenges related to funding, limited land availability, and public perceptions regarding the difficulty of the selection process, which are addressed through routine evaluations and collaboration with government agencies.

This study aims to analyze the use of digital learning media in improving learning outcomes and to examine the impact of social media on adolescents’ behavior in daily life in the digital era. The method used is a qualitative approach with a literature study (library research) design, conducted through the collection, review, and analysis of various relevant scholarly sources. The findings indicate that digital learning media play an important role in enhancing students’ motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes, as they are able to present material in an interactive, engaging, and easily understandable manner. On the other hand, social media has a dual impact on adolescents’ behavior. Its positive effects include ease of communication, access to information, and the development of creativity, while its negative effects include addiction, decreased learning focus, social comparison that lowers self-esteem, exposure to negative content, and the emergence of the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) phenomenon, which can affect mental health.  Therefore, the wise use of digital media and proper supervision are necessary to support the improvement of educational quality while also fostering positive character development in adolescents.

Soybean is an important food commodity in Indonesia because it is the main raw material for tofu and tempeh, two major protein sources widely consumed by the population. However, domestic soybean production remains far below national demand resulting in heavy dependence on imports. In contrast maize is increasingly preferred by farmers due to its higher productivity and a more stable economic value. Therefore, maize–soybean intercropping has emerged as a promising strategy to improve land-use efficiency while increasing soybean production without reducing maize cultivation. This study systematically mapped and synthesized maize–soybean intercropping research in Indonesia and conducted a meta-analysis of Land Equivalent Ratio LER values reported across studies. Literature searches using Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar identified 179 eligible publications published between 1978 and 2023. Most studies focused on agronomic factors such as variety selection spacing arrangement and fertilizer management. Meta-analysis showed average LER values of 1.47 ± 0.046 for maize–soybean intercropping and 1.36 ± 0.081 for maize–mung bean intercropping indicating advantages over monoculture systems. However, inconsistencies in methodology and reporting standards limited study comparability and sustainability assessments. Future research should integrate ecological, social, and long-term economic indicators alongside standardized reporting frameworks to strengthen evidence-based intercropping recommendations nationally for sustainable agriculture.

This study was conducted based on the crucial role of diesel generator engines as the primary source of electrical power on board ships, making their operational reliability essential. One of the factors influencing generator engine performance is lubricating oil temperature. Excessive lubricating oil temperature may reduce lubrication effectiveness, increase friction between moving components, and lower engine efficiency. Therefore, this research aimed to identify the causes of high lubricating oil temperature in diesel generator engines and determine appropriate corrective actions. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation during sea practice aboard MV. CL FLANDERS from 4 July 2024 to 5 July 2025. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression to examine the relationship between generator load and lubricating oil temperature. The findings revealed that generator load had a significant effect on the increase in lubricating oil temperature. Under normal operating conditions, the lubricating oil temperature ranged from 60°C to 72°C, while under abnormal conditions it increased to between 68°C and 81°C. The abnormal rise in temperature was mainly caused by cooling system problems, particularly a dirty LO cooler, scale deposits on the sea water pump impeller, and blockage in the cooling capillary pipes. The regression equation under normal conditions was Y = 45 + 0.30X, whereas under abnormal conditions it was Y = 53.5 + 0.30X. Elevated lubricating oil temperature resulted in lower oil viscosity, higher fuel consumption, and reduced diesel generator engine performance. Therefore, regular maintenance of the LO cooler, sea water pump, and continuous temperature monitoring are necessary to maintain optimum engine performance.

The Kepus Pungsed ritual, a Balinese Hindu life-cycle ceremony performed in Menyali Village, embodies a set of culturally and spiritually significant lexicons that function as a medium for transmitting traditional knowledge. This study aims to (1) describe the level of perceived understanding of the Kepus Pungsed ritual lexicons among adults, (2) describe the level of perceived understanding among elders, and (3) determine whether there is a significant difference between the two groups. This research employed a quantitative comparative cross-sectional design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire consisting of 36 ritual lexicons administered to 100 respondents, comprising 50 adults and 50 elders in Menyali Village. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis through the Mann–Whitney U test. The findings reveal a substantial generational gap in perceived understanding. Adults demonstrate a low level of perceived understanding, with 76% categorized as very low and 24% as low. In contrast, elders show a high level of perceived understanding, with 72% categorized as very high and 28% as high. The inferential analysis confirms that there is a statistically significant difference between adults and elders in their perceived understanding of the ritual lexicons. These findings indicate that the lexicons of the Kepus Pungsed ritual are in a vulnerable state due to the decline in comprehension among the younger adult generation. This study highlights the urgency of strengthening intergenerational transmission and suggests the integration of cultural and linguistic elements, particularly through English language education, to support the preservation and revitalization of endangered ritual lexicons.

The issuance of electronic identity cards (e-KTP) represents one of the most fundamental public services administered by the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil). Nevertheless, various forms of alleged maladministration in this service delivery continue to be unresolved in many regions, including Gorontalo Regency. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) in e-KTP issuance practices at Disdukcapil Gorontalo Regency and to identify forms of alleged maladministration. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, primary data were drawn from the 2025 Maladministration Assessment Report of the Ombudsman RI Gorontalo Province Representative and official institutional documents, supplemented by secondary data from scientific journals, legislation, and verified news sources. Findings reveal that Gorontalo Regency obtained a final score of 64.79 with a 'Moderate Quality Without Maladministration' rating the lowest among four evaluated local governments. Three critical areas were identified: (1) non-compliance with service completion time standards, (2) unofficial administrative burdens including out-of-office form purchases, contravening the principle of proportionality, and (3) low public trust levels reflecting accountability deficits. This study contributes by elaborating the legal dimensions of AUPB as a more structured maladministration evaluation framework compared to prior studies focused primarily on public service management dimensions.

This study examines the phenomenon of fatherlessness in Indonesia and its relevance to Human security. Rather than limiting the concept to the physical absence of a father, this research highlights functional fatherlessnes s, where the father is present but does not perform his roles in caregiving, emotional support, and economic responsibility. Using a qualitative approach through literature review and conceptual analysis, this study explores how disruptions in family roles can generate broader social vulnerabilities. The findings indicate that fatherlessness is closely linked to various dimensions of human security, particularly personal, economic, and community security. The absence or dysfunction of paternal roles weakens the family as the primary unit of protection, potentially affecting individual well-being, social stability, and the overall quality of human resources. Furthermore, this study finds that existing state responses tend to be reactive and have not fully addressed the issue of functional fatherlessness as a structural social concern. Therefore, this research argues that fatherlessness should be understood not merely as a private family issue, but as a non-traditional security challenge that requires comprehensive policy attention to strengthen human security in Indonesia.

Digital transformation in healthcare encourages healthcare facilities to implement Electronic Medical Records (EMR). The success of EMR implementation is not only determined by system and infrastructure readiness but also influenced by users' digital literacy and technology readiness. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between digital literacy and technology readiness using the Technology Readiness Index (TRI) among EMR users at Grha Atma Primary Clinic Bandung. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 31 respondents using total sampling. Data were collected using a digital literacy questionnaire adapted from DHLI and a TRI questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis (Three Box Method) and bivariate analysis using Spearman Rank correlation. The results showed that digital literacy was categorized as high across all dimensions. Technology readiness indicated that optimism and innovativeness were high, while discomfort and insecurity ranged from moderate. Spearman test results showed a significant positive relationship between digital literacy and technology readiness (p = 0.003; r = 0.519). This study concludes that digital literacy significantly influences technology readiness among EMR users. Improving digital literacy is essential to enhance technology readiness and optimize EMR implementation.
