This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, self-control, parental influence, peer influence, and income on students’ saving behavior in the Economic Education Study Program at Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe Tuban for the 2021–2024 cohort. A quantitative approach with an associative research design was applied. The population consisted of 173 students, and the sample was determined using Slovin’s formula with a total of 64 respondents. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS, including classical assumption tests. The results reveal that financial literacy, parental influence, and income have a significant positive effect on saving behavior, while self-control and peer influence have a significant negative effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.724, indicating that 72.4% of the variation in students’ saving behavior can be explained by the independent variables, while the remaining 27.6% is influenced by other factors outside the model. These findings highlight that students’ saving behavior is shaped by the interplay of cognitive, psychological, social, and economic factors.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work stress, work discipline, and work environment on employee productivity at UD. Podo Seneng. A quantitative approach was employed using survey methods through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The sampling technique applied was saturated sampling, involving the entire population of 40 employees. Data analysis included validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis supported by t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that, partially, work stress has a negative but insignificant effect on productivity. In contrast, work discipline and work environment have a positive and significant effect on productivity. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence employee productivity, contributing 49.7% to the variance. These findings indicate that strengthening work discipline and creating a conducive work environment are dominant factors in improving productivity, while the effect of work stress remains inconsistent and requires further investigation in different organizational contexts.

This study aims to analyze the effect of member card usage on customer satisfaction at Bolly Department Store in Bima City. The research applied a quantitative approach with a survey method, where data were collected through questionnaires from 96 respondents selected using purposive sampling, specifically customers who owned a member card. The research instrument was tested using validity and reliability tests to ensure accuracy and consistency. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression, correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination, and t-test with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings indicate that the member card variable has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. This is evidenced by the t-test result, where the t-value (1.894) exceeded the t-table value (1.661). However, the coefficient of determination (R²) was only 0.029, meaning that the member card explains merely 2.9% of the variation in customer satisfaction, while 97.1% is influenced by other factors. Therefore, although the member card improves customer satisfaction, its contribution is relatively small, suggesting that additional and more comprehensive marketing strategies are needed.

This study was conducted to examine the extent to which information quality and consumer trust influence the interest in purchasing fashion products online through the Facebook platform. The study population included all active Facebook users in Indonesia who had purchased fashion products, either through the Marketplace feature or buy and sell groups. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling, and 100 respondents were successfully collected. Primary data was obtained through an online questionnaire distributed using Google Forms. The research instrument used a five-point Likert scale, where respondents were asked to provide their level of agreement with statements related to information quality, trust, and purchasing interest. Data analysis used the Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach, which was run using SmartPLS version 4.0 software. This method was chosen because it is capable of testing the relationship between latent variables comprehensively, even though the research sample size was not very large. The results of the analysis showed that information quality did not have a significant effect on consumer interest in purchasing fashion products through Facebook. Conversely, consumer trust was found to have a positive and significant effect on purchase interest. These findings confirm that in the context of online transactions on social media, trust in the seller and the reliability of the platform are more decisive factors than the quality of information.

Earthquakes are natural disasters that frequently occur in coastal areas, posing significant threats to the survival and well-being of local communities. Due to the high vulnerability of these regions, it is crucial for the population to possess adequate preparedness and a strong sense of self-efficacy in responding to such disasters. Self-efficacy, referring to an individual's belief in their ability to overcome challenges or manage difficult situations, is considered a key factor in preparing for and responding to earthquakes. Previous studies have shown that individuals with higher levels of self-efficacy are more likely to be better prepared for natural disasters, including earthquakes. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and earthquake preparedness in the Parangtritis community, specifically in Dusun Sono. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the extent to which self-efficacy is related to earthquake preparedness. This study employs a descriptive correlational approach with a cross-sectional design, allowing the researcher to identify the relationship between two variables at a single point in time. A sample of 85 respondents was selected using purposive sampling, based on specific characteristics relevant to the research objectives. The respondents were from the Dusun Sono community, Parangtritis. Data were analyzed using Kendall’s Tau test to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and preparedness for earthquake disasters. The analysis revealed that 74.1% of respondents exhibited high self-efficacy, and 49.9% demonstrated good preparedness. Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between self-efficacy and earthquake preparedness, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), suggesting that the results are highly unlikely to have occurred by chance. Additionally, the correlation coefficient of 0.615 indicates a moderate strength of the relationship between the two variables. These findings provide strong evidence that higher levels of self-efficacy are associated with better preparedness for earthquake disasters.

This study originates from the difficulties student pilots encounter when deciding to perform a go-around during unstable strong wind (gusty wind) conditions, especially on the runway at Banyuwangi Airport. The go-around procedure is a vital element in maintaining flight safety, but for inexperienced students, the decision is often challenging and influenced by multiple factors. The purpose of this research is to explore and analyze the aspects that affect student pilots’ considerations when faced with gusty wind situations. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with both student pilots and flight instructors. The findings reveal that several elements play key roles in shaping decision-making, including the level of flight experience, the application of aeronautical decision-making (ADM) principles, situational awareness in rapidly changing conditions, and the psychological pressures experienced during critical phases of flight. These insights emphasize the importance of strengthening pilot training programs, particularly in weather-related decision-making scenarios. By integrating structured ADM training and enhancing awareness of environmental factors, student pilots can be better prepared to respond to challenging conditions. The outcomes of this research are expected to support improvements in aviation education, reduce potential risks, and foster a stronger safety culture among future pilots.

Injection contraception is one of the most widely used family planning methods in Indonesia. However, its use is often associated with side effects in the form of weight gain. The commonly used types of injection contraception are the 1-month and 3-month injections, each containing different hormonal contents, which are suspected to have different effects on the weight of the acceptors. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 1-month and 3-month injection contraception on weight gain in family planning acceptors at PMB Wahyuning Purwati Sleman Regency. This research employs a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 37 injectable contraceptive acceptors was selected using accidental sampling technique. The instrument used was a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using paired sample t-test and independent t-test to determine body weight changes before and after using injectable contraceptives. The results showed an increase in body weight among users of the 1-month injectable contraceptive with an average of 3.158 kg (p<0.000) and among users of the 3-month injectable contraceptive with an average of 3.653 kg (p<0.006). Both types of injectable contraception showed a significant effect on weight gain. The weight gain was greater in users of the 3-month injection compared to the 1-month injection. There is a need for more intensive education and counseling for contraceptive acceptors regarding the side effects of injectable contraception and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Criminal law based on genetic determinism was once rejected in modern criminal law systems because it was deemed contrary to the principle of individual responsibility. However, the rise of epigenetics and neurocriminology in contemporary legal practice indicates a reconstitution of the biological basis for attribution of criminal culpability. This study aims to analyze the extent to which developments in epigenetics reopen opportunities for the operation of biological approaches in criminal law, while also critiquing the conceptual dangers they pose to the principles of justice and moral responsibility. The research method uses a normative legal approach with a conceptual approach. The results show that epigenetics works as a tool for scientific validation of the formation of risk categories in criminal law, while simultaneously weakening the perpetrator's position as a moral subject. The criminal law structure that technocratically accepts biological arguments creates a new form of legal exclusion through medical classifications that are not open to ethical evaluation. In this situation, the law operates as an instrument of biological management of bodies deemed deviant. The position of neurocriminology in this case is no longer merely a tool, but rather the center of the configuration of biolegal power that defines responsibility based on predisposition, not will. Therefore, a new normative framework is needed that can uphold the principle of individual responsibility while rejecting the ethical reduction of biological diagnoses in the criminal law system.
