Low nutritional awareness and high consumption of unhealthy snacks remain critical issues among elementary school children, potentially affecting their growth and academic performance. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education intervention using poster media and paper-based quizzes in improving nutritional awareness among fourth to sixth grade students. The community service activity was conducted by Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) students as part of the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) program in three elementary schools SD Negeri 1, 2, and 3 Kalirancang, Kebumen Regency. A descriptive-evaluative approach was employed through participatory engagement using simple, low-tech educational media to address technological limitations in the school environment. Data were collected from quiz score analyses and participatory observations during the intervention. The results showed a high participation rate (80–90%) and a substantial improvement in students’ cognitive understanding of nutrition, as indicated by the majority of correct quiz responses. However, behavioral observation revealed a noticeable gap between knowledge and practice, as many students continued to consume unhealthy snacks during school breaks. It can be concluded that poster and quiz-based interventions are effective in enhancing students’ nutritional knowledge but are insufficient to alter behavior without supportive environmental and policy interventions at the school level.

This study aims to determine the extent to which certain profitability ratios, such as ROA and ROE, influence bank health, moderating these variables using Good Corporate Governance reports. A quantitative approach is used in this study, and secondary data from previous years are required for testing, sourced from PT. BPR BKK Purwodadi's report data. These findings demonstrate that companies with high profitability have incentives to maintain bank health, as this reflects effective operational and managerial performance. Furthermore, organizations with good corporate governance (GCG) generally have greater resources and a robust organizational structure, providing them with more opportunities to maximize performance. This study is expected to provide new perspectives on bank health maintenance practices, particularly for business entities in the banking sector. Particularly in the strategically significant banking industry, the results of this study are crucial for authorities such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK) to understand the relationship between corporate profitability, good corporate governance (GCG), and bank health. This understanding helps in developing more appropriate policies to maintain economic stability and financial fairness. The emphasis on business entities in the regional government-owned banking sector (Perseroda) during 2020 to 2024, a dynamic period with economic fluctuations, banking policy transformations, and major geopolitical challenges, distinguishes this study.

Critical thinking is an essential skill in the modern era, characterized by rapid changes in the workplace and the dynamics of daily life. In a time when information is readily accessible and challenges are increasingly complex, individuals are required not only to master technical skills (hard skills), but also to possess the ability to analyze, evaluate, and critically respond to information. These skills are the foundation for making informed, wise, and adaptive decisions. Case studies from various recent news outlets in Indonesia show that many young people, especially Gen Z, still face difficulties entering the workforce due to a lack of soft skills and mental preparedness. This phenomenon is evident in increasing reports of unpreparedness for work pressure, poor communication skills, and a lack of problem-solving skills. Through an analysis of the literature and news reports, this article explores the relationship between critical thinking skills and the real-world challenges faced by Gen Z. Furthermore, it offers practical recommendations for developing critical thinking capacity so that young people can better adapt, improve professional performance, and respond to various issues in daily life more maturely and responsibly.  

This study aims to examine the impact of credit risk, liquidity, and operational efficiency on the profitability of Regional Government Banks (BPD) in Indonesia, and to explore the moderating role of female commissioners on the relationship between credit risk and profitability. The research uses a quantitative approach with secondary data from 2020 to 2024, utilizing regression analysis. The findings indicate that liquidity (LDR) and operational efficiency (BOPO) have a significant positive impact on profitability (ROA), while credit risk (NPL) does not significantly affect profitability. The presence of female commissioners shows a negative effect in the direct model, but this becomes insignificant with moderation, suggesting that the influence of gender diversity in banking governance may differ depending on the context. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the critical role of liquidity management and operational efficiency in enhancing profitability, and offers practical implications for improving governance and performance in Regional Government Bank.

MP3 audio files are often used in a variety of fields, but they are prone to security risks such as eavesdropping and illegal access. This study proposes a super encryption method by combining the algorithms of Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) and ElGamal to improve the protection of audio data. RSA was chosen for its efficiency and ease of implementation, while ElGamal offers a high level of security through discrete logarithmic complexity. The combination of the two is expected to address the weaknesses of each algorithm and strengthen file security. The system is developed using the Python programming language with the Visual Studio Code environment. The encryption process is done in layers: MP3 files are first encrypted with RSA, and then the results are encrypted again with ElGamal. The decryption is done in reverse order. Tests are conducted with various MP3 file sizes to measure the effectiveness and performance of the system. The results show that this method is able to secure audio files so that they cannot be accessed without the private keys of both algorithms. Although processing times are increased compared to single encryption, the level of security obtained is much higher. This approach can be an effective solution for protecting digital audio data, particularly MP3 format, and could potentially be applied to a wide range of other data types that require a high level of security.

In modern soccer, lower-limb power is a crucial component that determines an athlete’s performance in sprinting, kicking, and jumping. This study aimed to compare the effects of Squat jump and Hexagon jump plyometric exercises on lower limb power in youth soccer athletes from Garuda Timur Football Academy Surabaya. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest–posttest two group design involving 12 athletes aged 14–17 years. Participants were divided into two groups of six: a Hexagon jump group and a Squat jump group. Lower limb power was assessed using the vertical jump test before and after the training intervention. Data were analyzed using the Matched Subject Ordinal Pairing (MSOP) method to determine the relative effectiveness of both training types. The results indicated that both exercises significantly improved athletes’ vertical jump performance. However, the Hexagon jump exercise showed greater effectiveness, with a winning proportion of 67% (4 out of 6 pairs) compared to 33% for the Squat jump. The superior results of the Hexagon jump group were attributed to its multidirectional movement pattern, which provides greater stimulation of coordination, balance, and neuromuscular reactivity. Therefore, it can be concluded that Hexagon jump training is more effective than Squat jump in enhancing lower limb power among youth soccer athletes.

Digital transformation has changed the way modern organizations measure their success, but traditional performance measurement models have not fully adapted to the needs of the digital age. This study conducted a systematic literature review of 25 high-quality publications from the Scopus, Web of Science, and Emerald Insight databases to identify models and indicators of organizational performance measurement in the digital era. Using the PRISMA 2020 framework and strict inclusion-exclusion protocols, this study analyzes research from the period 2021-2025 with a focus on the integration of the digital dimension in the performance measurement framework. Key findings identify 13 categories of key indicators that consistently appear in the literature, including financial performance, operational efficiency, innovation performance, digital transformation readiness, customer experience, and employee digital capability. The analysis of influence mechanisms found three ways in which digital transformation affects performance: direct effects, mediating effects through dynamic capability and organizational agility, and moderation effects from contextual and organizational cultural factors. The research proposes a three-level integrative framework (strategic, operational, and individual-cultural) that can be differentially adapted according to the size of the organization and the industry sector. The theoretical contribution of this research enriches the academic literature with a systematic synthesis of digital performance measurement, while practical contribution provides evidence-based guidance for organizations in designing a comprehensive performance measurement system that is responsive to the evolving dynamics of digital transformation.

This quantitative study analyzes the influence of Ship Docking Schedule (X1), Port Availability (X2), and Loading and Unloading Productivity (X3) on Vessel Waiting Time (Y) at Tanjung Intan Cilacap Port. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to 86 vessel crew respondents and analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression (SPSS v.26). The t-test results indicate that X1, X2, and X3 individually exert a positive and significant influence on Y.1 The regression model demonstrates robust predictive power, explaining 55.2% of the variance in vessel waiting time (R^2{adj}=0.552). Based on the standardized beta coefficients, the Ship Docking Schedule (X1, \beta=0,385) is identified as the most dominant factor, followed by Loading and Unloading Productivity (X3, \beta=0,302) and Port Availability (X2, \beta=0,307).1 This finding confirms that optimizing maritime logistics performance, particularly in bulk terminals facing physical constraints, requires prioritizing procedural efficiency and scheduling accuracy.

One of the business strategies used by companies to strengthen their business and reduce competition is through acquisitions. This study was conducted to determine changes in financial performance after the acquisition process, measured using liquidity, activity, solvency, and profitability ratios. The population of this study was companies that made acquisitions in 2022. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, and four companies that conducted acquisitions in 2022 and were listed on the IDX were obtained. The research period was two years before and two years after the acquisition. The hypothesis was tested with a non-parametric test using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Based on the results of the study, it is known that of the four financial ratios, only the activity ratio had a significant difference before and after the acquisition. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in the liquidity, solvency, and profitability ratios. This is because the impact of the acquisition process cannot be seen in the short term. It takes integration and a long time to create synergy or change after an acquisition.  

The growing demand for natural, sustainable personal care products has driven interest in perfumes formulated with plant-based essential oils and natural fixatives. This study aims to develop and evaluate base-note perfumes using essential oils extracted from three Indonesian aromatic leaves—lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), basil (Ocimum basilicum), and kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix)—combined with jasmine (Jasminum sambac) oil as a fixative. Essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation, and three formulations were prepared, each containing a 30:70 blend of essential oil to ethanol. The perfumes underwent organoleptic testing by 15 trained panelists, along with evaluations of fragrance longevity (over 12 hours) and stain effects on paper substrates. Among the formulations, the blend of kaffir lime and jasmine (Formula 2) exhibited the highest average scores across sensory parameters, including fragrance intensity and freshness. It also retained a perceptible aroma for more than 12 hours and showed minimal staining. The results indicate that natural perfumes made with local essential oils and jasmine fixatives can meet consumer expectations for quality and performance. This study highlights the potential of Indonesian aromatic plants in sustainable perfumery and suggests avenues for future innovation in natural fragrance design.
