This study was conducted at PT Catur Mitra Sejati Sentosa, where high work pressure was observed due to daily production or sales targets that must be achieved within 8 working hours. Employees who fail to meet these targets are not allowed to leave on time, leading to increased workload and work stress. This condition is suspected to significantly affect employee productivity. The aim of this research is to examine the influence of workload and work stress on employee productivity, both partially and simultaneously. The research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 51 respondents. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 26 through validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, and F-tests. The findings of the study indicate that workload has a significant effect on employee productivity, as does work stress. Both workload and work stress are positively correlated with lower productivity levels. Moreover, when assessed together, both variables also simultaneously influence productivity significantly. This suggests that the company’s high work pressure, driven by unmet targets, contributes directly to reduced work efficiency and increased stress. Therefore, the company needs to manage workload and work stress effectively, ensuring that work expectations are realistic and that employees are given adequate support to meet these expectations. Optimizing these factors can enhance employee productivity, reduce stress, and improve overall company performance.

Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils, commonly caused by viral infections, and typically resolves on its own without medical intervention. The first-line treatment for tonsillitis generally involves supportive care, such as analgesics and hydration, to alleviate symptoms. However, in cases of chronic or severe tonsillitis that cannot be managed conservatively, tonsillectomy is the recommended surgical procedure. Tonsillectomy is typically performed by an ENT specialist, and candidates for this surgery must meet the absolute and relative criteria outlined in the 2004 Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Indonesia clinical guidelines. Although tonsillectomy is a common procedure, one of the serious complications that can arise post-surgery is hemorrhage, which can lead to fatal consequences if not managed appropriately. Post-tonsillectomy bleeding is a significant cause of mortality and requires immediate and effective management. Effective management of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage is crucial to prevent life-threatening situations that may develop without appropriate intervention. Bleeding can be addressed through close observation, bedside interventions, or additional surgery if necessary, with the initial focus on stabilizing the patient's hemodynamics and controlling active bleeding. Given the high incidence and severity of post-operative bleeding, it is vital for healthcare professionals to identify patients who experience this complication and those at high risk, providing timely and appropriate interventions to reduce the risk of fatality. Therefore, in-depth knowledge of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage management is essential for ENT specialists in daily clinical practice.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village.

Moreover, labor force, investment, and community participation have a positive and significant partial effect on development success, while village institution revenue has a positive but not significant partial effect. The findings also reveal that investment is the most dominant factor influencing the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. Theoretically, the finding that investment has a dominant influence on the success of Kesiman Kertalangu Village development strengthens the Solow growth model, Robert Chambers' participatory theory, and Amartya Sen's capacity building concept. Practically, the research results provide strategic direction for village governments and stakeholders in designing participation- based development policies, increasing fiscal capacity, and empowering local workers.

Before entering marriage, a person will generally choose a partner who meets their criteria. Choosing a partner is not something to be done carelessly, as this decision has a significant impact on the journey of the household and the harmony of the relationship in the future. Factors influencing partner selection can be very diverse, ranging from personal values, social environment, to the influence of developments in the times and mass media. One popular cultural phenomenon that also influences is K-Pop. For some people, a deep interest in K-Pop idols or artists can form certain standards or criteria in choosing a life partner. This study aims to determine the influence of idol worship on partner selection preferences among early adult female K-Popers in West Sumatra. The study subjects were 120 people selected using a snowball sampling technique. The study used a quantitative method, with instruments in the form of an idol worship scale and a partner selection preference scale compiled by researchers based on the dimensions of idol worship by Cheung and Yue (2018) and aspects of partner selection preferences by Townsend and Roberts (1993). The results of a simple linear regression analysis indicate that, in general, idol worship has no significant effect on partner choice preferences (sig = 0.405 > 0.05). However, when examined by dimension, attachment (sig = 0.002 < 0.05) and idealization (sig = 0.001 < 0.05) significantly influence partner choice preferences. This finding indicates that emotional aspects and idealization of idols can shape the criteria or ideal image of a desired partner, although idol worship does not have a direct effect overall.

In manufacturing industries, machining processes play a critical role in ensuring product quality, precision, and production efficiency. However, in the production of swing arm parts, the machining process has been identified as a bottleneck due to its non-optimal cycle time. One of the main issues contributing to this inefficiency is the disorganized handling of circlip inner parts. These components are often scattered without a designated placement system, which creates significant difficulties for operators when retrieving and installing circlips onto the swing arm. Such abnormalities disrupt workflow continuity, extend production time, and reduce overall productivity. To address this challenge, a circlip feeder machine was designed as a supporting device to assist operators and streamline the machining process. The design emphasizes efficiency, integration, and systematic operation by utilizing readily available workshop materials. The developed feeder machine is equipped with a robust frame construction and has a storage dimension capable of accommodating up to 200 circlips. In addition, mechanical analysis demonstrates that the feeder structure can withstand a maximum applied force of 31,475 N, ensuring durability and reliability during operation. The introduction of this circlip feeder machine directly impacts the production process by reducing operator workload, minimizing delays caused by disorganized parts, and ensuring faster and more accurate installation of circlips. Consequently, the overall machining cycle time is shortened, thereby improving production flow and enhancing the efficiency of swing arm part manufacturing. Beyond immediate time savings, the use of the feeder machine contributes to better resource utilization, reduced ergonomic strain on operators, and improved consistency in product quality. This study highlights the significance of simple yet effective mechanical innovations in overcoming production bottlenecks and optimizing manufacturing processes in automotive component industries.

This study examines the influence of product quality, service quality, and word of mouth on purchase decisions at DNA Spot Café Surakarta, based on 100 randomly selected respondents. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that service quality and word of mouth have a positive and significant effect, while product quality is not significant. The coefficient of determination of 61.3% indicates that the independent variables explain most of the variation in purchase decisions, contributing to marketing management research in the café industry. The results highlight the crucial role of service quality in shaping customer perceptions and driving decision-making in the café industry. High-quality service fosters positive customer experiences, which, in turn, encourage repeat visits and enhance loyalty. Additionally, the significant influence of word of mouth underscores the importance of social interactions and customer recommendations in the decision-making process, especially in a service-based business like a café, where personal experiences are often shared and valued among peer groups. Conversely, the insignificance of product quality suggests that while product standards are important, they may not be the primary driver of purchase decisions at DNA Spot Café. This indicates that customers may prioritize the overall experience, atmosphere, and peer recommendations over product differentiation when choosing where to dine or spend leisure time. These findings contribute to the body of marketing management research, particularly in the context of the café industry, by emphasizing the strategic importance of service excellence and customer engagement strategies to enhance brand reputation and influence consumer behavior. Future research could explore additional factors such as pricing, promotional strategies, and customer loyalty programs to provide a more comprehensive understanding of purchase decision dynamics.

This study aims to determine the influence of the Time Token Learning Type learning model combined with science literacy on communication skills and cognitive learning outcomes of SMPN XYZ students.

This study examines legal deviations in the implementation of the Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) mechanism, specifically regarding the approval of a peace settlement submitted for the second time after the debtor is declared bankrupt. The study highlights the Supreme Court Decision No. 648K/Pdt.Sus-Pailit/2021, which ratified the second peace settlement in the case of PT Prospek Duta Sukses. This decision is deemed contradictory to the principle of a single peace settlement, as stipulated in Articles 289 and 292 of Law No. 37 of 2004 on Bankruptcy and PKPU, and further reinforced by Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) No. 5 of 2021, which states that a peace settlement in bankruptcy can only be conducted once. Using a normative juridical method, this research analyzes the legal reasoning used by the panel of judges in approving the second peace settlement and evaluates its impact on legal certainty and protection for creditors, who are the affected parties in the bankruptcy process. The approval of a second peace settlement after the debtor is declared bankrupt creates legal uncertainty, as the existing provisions do not provide for more than one peace settlement. Additionally, this decision potentially harms creditors by prolonging the settlement of debts, which should have been clear, thus allowing room for misuse of legal procedures. The findings of the study show that the approval of this second peace settlement not only contradicts the fundamental principles of law but also risks harming creditors, who should be protected by the bankruptcy system to ensure their rights are fairly met. Therefore, this research suggests that consistent application of the law, in line with existing provisions, is necessary to uphold the principles of justice, legal certainty, and the credibility of the national bankruptcy system. Furthermore, reforms in regulations or law enforcement are needed to ensure that legal practices operate in accordance with principles that are fair and transparent.

Traffic congestion in Jakarta has become a serious problem, affecting various aspects of life, such as time efficiency, environmental quality, and economic productivity. As one solution to overcome this problem, the Jakarta government is developing a mass public transportation system, including the Light Rail Transit (LRT). The LRT is expected to reduce congestion by providing a more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation alternative. In the process of planning and optimizing the LRT system, discrete mathematics, particularly graph theory, plays a very important role. Graph theory is used to model the LRT station network and track, with vertices representing stations and edges representing connecting lines between stations. With this model, various analyses can be performed to optimize the LRT line, such as finding the shortest path between two stations or evaluating the connectivity between existing stations. The use of graph theory allows the identification of more efficient routes, resulting in faster travel and reduced passenger waiting times. In addition, graph theory also plays a role in optimizing the LRT route by minimizing the number of transfers between stations or avoiding passenger congestion at certain stations. With proper route and network optimization, the LRT can make a significant contribution to reducing traffic congestion in Jakarta. Furthermore, the development of an efficient public transportation system also supports improved air quality and reduces reliance on private vehicles. Overall, the application of graph theory in LRT system planning is a strategic step towards creating more efficient and sustainable transportation in large cities like Jakarta. Beyond route optimization, graph theory is also very useful in analyzing route capacity and passenger distribution along the LRT system.

The TikTok application, which now offers the TikTok Shop feature, is one example of how significant changes in the digital commerce industry have been fueled by information technology advancements. This feature creates a real-time interactive experience by enabling customers to shop directly through live broadcasting. The purpose of this study is to examine how using the live streaming feature affects purchasing decisions, particularly for students at STAI Sangatta. 64 students enrolled in STAI Sangatta's Islamic Economics Study Program were given a questionnaire as part of this quantitative field study. Validity tests, reliability tests, t and f tests, simple linear regression, and classical assumptions were used to assess the data. The analysis's findings indicate that live broadcasting significantly influences consumers' decisions to buy. The resulting regression equation is Y = 10.166 - 0.742X. The hypothesis is supported since the t-value of 10.178 is greater than the t-table of 1.999 and has a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05). At 103.584, the F test is likewise significant. The influence of the live streaming variable is indicated by the coefficient of determination (R2) of 62.6%, whilst other elements not included in this research model influence 37.4%.

The development of digital technology has brought about significant changes in marketing strategies, particularly in the increasingly competitive e-commerce sector. Shopee, as one of the largest marketplaces in Southeast Asia, utilizes digital marketing strategies intensively, including the use of various social media channels, paid advertising, and creative campaigns. Furthermore, Shopee holds massive promotions on special dates such as 9.9, 11.11, and 12.12, packaged with discounts, free shipping, and limited-time offers. This strategy also triggers the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) phenomenon, where consumers are encouraged to make purchases immediately for fear of missing out on the opportunity to get the best deals. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing, Shopee promotions on special dates, and FOMO on the purchasing interest of students at UIN Datokarama Palu. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method. The sample consisted of 100 respondents selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire with a Likert scale, while data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression using the SPSS program. The results showed that the digital marketing variable (X1) did not have a significant effect on student purchasing interest. In contrast, Shopee's special date promo (X2) and FOMO (X3) proved to have a positive and significant impact. These findings indicate that direct promotional strategies that provide tangible benefits and an emotional, urgency-based approach are more effective in influencing consumer behavior than general digital marketing strategies. Therefore, for e-commerce players, strengthening promotional campaigns that capitalize on specific moments and emotional triggers can be key to increasing sales among young consumers.

This research is motivated by the low utilization of accounting information by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which can impact suboptimal business decision-making. Accounting information plays an important role in helping business actors manage operational activities, plan finances, and evaluate business performance. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of accounting knowledge, business scale, and business experience on the perception of the use of accounting information, both partially and simultaneously. The approach used in this study is a quantitative approach with a causal research type. The population in this study were all MSMEs in Ngronggot District, Nganjuk Regency, totaling 162 business units. The sample used was 62 respondents, obtained through a simple random sampling technique with calculations using the Slovin formula. The data collection method was carried out by distributing questionnaires to predetermined respondents. Data analysis used multiple linear regression methods with the help of SPSS software version 27. The results of the study indicate that partially, accounting knowledge and business scale have a significant influence on the perception of the use of accounting information. This indicates that the greater the level of accounting knowledge and the larger the business scale, the higher the positive perception of the importance of using accounting information. Conversely, business experience did not show a significant partial effect, indicating that the length of time a person has been running a business does not always lead to increased use of accounting information. However, simultaneously, all three variables—accounting knowledge, business scale, and business experience—significantly influenced perceptions of the use of accounting information. This finding implies that increasing accounting knowledge and expanding business scale need to be addressed in MSME empowerment programs to optimally utilize accounting information.
