This study aims to analyze the influence of incentives and physical work environment on employee performance with motivation as a mediating variable at the Denpasar City Cultural Office. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research population was all employees of the Denpasar Cultural Office totaling 54 people, all of whom were sampled using saturated sampling techniques. Data were collected through a questionnaire with a Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results of the study showed that incentives had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while the physical work environment did not have a significant effect on employee performance. In addition, motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Mediation testing showed that motivation was able to mediate the influence of incentives on employee performance, but was unable to mediate the influence of the physical work environment on employee performance. These findings indicate that improving employee performance is more effective through providing the right incentives and increasing work motivation compared to improving the physical work environment alone.

Modern urban churches, specifically Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI) PRJ Jakarta, face challenges in bridging the intergenerational gap in leadership regeneration. This research aims to reformulate the paradigm of church leadership towards the next generation by exploring the theological meaning of Jesus' act of washing His disciples' feet based on the text of John 13:12-17. Using a qualitative method through a library research approach as well as textual and contextual biblical analysis, this study deconstructs the concept of worldly elitist power into a servant leadership model. The results of the expository analysis show that Jesus validated His historical and political authority not through social status distance, but through incarnational ministry, relational proximity, and role modeling. As a practical implication for the quality of ministry at GBI PRJ Jakarta, these findings recommend a strategic transition from a one-way communication leadership style to relational mentoring, the empowerment of the younger generation through the delegation of authority, and the tangible modeling of integrity. In conclusion, the improvement of shared ministry quality highly depends on the willingness of church leaders to lay aside structural egos and disciple the younger generation through the example of humility centered on the work of the cross of Christ.

This study aims to examine the impact of digital transformation in accounting and the effectiveness of internal control systems on the quality of financial reports in an integrated logistics services company. The method used is a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), with data collected from 35 respondents who are involved in financial and accounting activities within the company. The analysis focuses on evaluating the relationships between digital transformation, internal control systems, and financial reporting quality. The research findings indicate that digital transformation in accounting (coefficient = 0.658; p-value = 0.000) and internal control systems (coefficient = 0.308; p-value = 0.023) have a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial reports. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.822 shows that both independent variables are able to explain 82.2% of the variation in financial report quality, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors outside the model. These results confirm that the implementation of digital technology supported by an effective internal control system can significantly improve the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and reliability of financial reporting in organizations.

This research analyzes the application of the equality before the law principle in handling narcotics cases by the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) Legundi Surabaya. The principle of equality before the law is a fundamental principle guaranteed in Article 27 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, yet its implementation in narcotics law enforcement still faces various challenges. This study employs a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach to examine LBH Legundi's strategies in ensuring clients fully obtain their constitutional rights. The findings reveal that although LBH Legundi has implemented various strategies such as detailed examination of arrest procedures, optimization of legal instruments, and efforts for detention suspension, the application of the equality before the law principle remains hindered by several factors. The main challenges include strong social stigma against narcotics offenders, limited resources of legal aid institutions, disparities in judicial decisions, structural barriers in accessing justice, weak supervision systems, minimal systemic support from the state, and a law enforcement mindset that remains punitive rather than rehabilitative. This condition creates a significant gap between suspects from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and those from affluent backgrounds, which contradicts the spirit of substantive justice. The study concludes that realizing the principle of equality before the law requires comprehensive reform touching structural, cultural, and systemic aspects of Indonesia's criminal justice system.  

Overcapacity in Correctional Institutions is a structural problem that is still a serious challenge in the correctional system in Indonesia. This condition is characterized by the number of inmates that far exceeds the ideal capacity, resulting in a decrease in the quality of coaching, health services, and security. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause overcapacity in prisons and the impact they have on the effectiveness of the correctional system. The method used is a normative juridical approach supported by empirical data from relevant agency reports. The results of the study show that the main factors causing overcapacity include the high crime rate, criminal policies that are still oriented towards prison sentences, and limited correctional facilities and infrastructure. The impact of overcapacity is very felt in the implementation of inmate development. Crowded housing conditions also increase conflicts between inmates, the spread of infectious diseases, and violations of basic rights. In addition, the limited number of correctional officers causes supervision to not run optimally and has the potential to trigger deviant practices in prisons. Therefore, it is necessary to reformulate penal policies through the optimization of non-prison penal alternatives, institutional capacity building, and strengthening rehabilitation and social reintegration programs to realize a more humane and just correctional system.

Facies analysis and thin-section petrography are complementary and essential approaches for determining the lithological characteristics of deep-water deposits. Deep-water sediments are formed by diverse depositional processes such as turbidity currents, debris flows, slumps, and pelagic suspension settling, producing a wide range of lithofacies with distinctive textural, compositional, and sedimentary structural attributes. This literature review synthesizes studies that apply facies analysis and thin-section petrography to characterize deep-water deposits across various basins and geological ages worldwide. Field-based facies analysis emphasizes lithology, sedimentary structures, bed geometry, and vertical–lateral facies relationships to reconstruct depositional environments. In contrast, thin-section petrography provides microscopic insights into mineral composition, grain texture, cement types, porosity, and diagenetic features that are not observable in the field. The integration of these methods, often combined with advanced techniques such as XRD, SEM, and geochemical analyses, has proven effective in distinguishing lithofacies, understanding sedimentary processes, and evaluating reservoir quality. The review highlights that grain size, sorting, cement type, pore-throat size, and diagenetic processes are key controls on lithological characteristics and reservoir potential in deep-water systems. Therefore, the combined application of facies analysis and thin-section petrography provides a comprehensive framework for interpreting deep-water sedimentary systems.

This study analyzes the performance of three types of controllers—PID, Fuzzy-PID, and Model Predictive Control (MPC)—in maintaining water level stability in a dam system. Proper water level regulation is essential to prevent flooding, ensure adequate water distribution, and maintain the structural safety of the dam. Previous studies have widely implemented PID and Fuzzy-PID controllers; however, MPC offers significant advantages through system prediction and multivariable optimization. This research compares the performance of the three controllers through simulation analysis using a second-order mathematical model. The results indicate that MPC has the potential to deliver a faster settling time and a smaller steady-state error compared to PID and Fuzzy-PID, although it requires higher computational complexity.

This study aims to test the influence of digital literacy and the use of accounting applications on the effectiveness of MSME information systems with user competence as a mediating variable. The research sample amounted to 100 MSME actors in Gresik City who were selected using purposive sampling techniques according to the research criteria. Data testing was carried out using a quantitative approach using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method through the SmartPLS application. The results of the study show that digital literacy and the use of accounting applications have a positive effect on the effectiveness of MSME information systems. Meanwhile, user competence does not have a significant effect and is unable to mediate the influence of digital literacy and the use of accounting applications on the effectiveness of information systems. This research is expected to provide benefits for MSME actors in increasing the use of digital technology and accounting applications, as well as become an academic reference for future research. The limitations of this study lie in the scope of the MSME scale, which has not considered external factors, and the research model that has not fully explained the role of user competence as a mediating variable.

This study aims to analyze the influence of the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) Internship Program and soft skills on the work readiness of students at Universitas Ichsan Sidenreng Rappang, with internship experience as a mediating variable. The research employed a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS. The study population consisted of 139 students who participated in the MBKM Internship Program in batches I and II, with samples determined through purposive sampling. The results reveal that the MBKM Internship Program has a positive and significant effect on both internship experience and students’ work readiness. Soft skills have a positive and significant effect on internship experience but do not directly influence work readiness. Furthermore, internship experience has a positive and significant effect on work readiness and acts as a mediating variable in the relationship between the MBKM program and soft skills with work readiness. This study provides practical contributions for students in optimizing internship experiences and soft skill development, for universities in evaluating MBKM program implementation, and for industries in designing internship programs that are relevant to labor market demands

This study investigates the impact of Transglobal Leadership Intelligence (TGLI) on Sustainable Tourism Competitiveness, focusing on its influence through three mediating variables: Innovative Work Behavior (IWB), Work Engagement (WE), and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Conducted in Pamekasan, this research aims to explore how TGLI can enhance the competitiveness of sustainable tourism by fostering innovation, employee engagement, and organizational citizenship within small and medium-sized tourism enterprises (SMEs). A quantitative approach, employing surveys from 190 tourism SME managers in Pamekasan, was used to gather data, which was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study examines the relationships between TGLI and the targeted outcomes to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving sustainable tourism competitiveness in the context of globalization and organizational innovation. The results indicate that while TGLI positively influences IWB and OCB, it does not significantly affect Sustainable Tourism Competitiveness. Moreover, IWB, WE, and OCB did not show significant direct effects on tourism competitiveness, suggesting that external factors like government policies and resource management play a more dominant role. This research offers valuable insights for tourism SMEs and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of global leadership capabilities and internal organizational dynamics in enhancing sustainable tourism.

Time delays and cost overruns remain major problems in building construction projects, particularly in concrete structural works that dominate project duration and cost. This study aims to evaluate the application of re-engineering in concrete structural work methods on the time and cost performance of multi-storey building projects. A quantitative approach using a case study method was employed through comparative analysis between the existing method and alternative methods. The analyzed alternatives include ready-mix concrete with Sika Viscocrete 8007 admixture and semi-system formwork as Alternative I, ready-mix concrete with system formwork as Alternative II, and ready-mix concrete with Sika Viscocrete 8007 admixture combined with system formwork as Alternative III. The results show that all alternatives perform better than the existing method with a duration of 243 days. Alternative I reduced the duration to 208 days with cost efficiency of IDR 55,781,730 or 0.214 percent. Alternative II reduced the duration to 203 days with cost efficiency of IDR 187,553,261 or 0.724 percent. Alternative III achieved the best performance with a duration of 168 days, accelerating 75 days and providing the highest cost efficiency of IDR 243,334,991 or 0.941 percent. The study concludes that re-engineering effectively improves project time and cost performance, with Alternative III as the optimal method.

Indonesia is in an earthquake-prone region, therefore, designing building constructions that can withstand seismic loads is crucial in civil engineering. Reinforced concrete shear walls are one of the vertical structural fundamentals that are effectively used in multi-story buildings to withstand lateral forces due to earthquake and wind loads. Structures that use shear walls can increase stiffness and reduce horizontal deviations (deflections) of buildings, which contribute to the stability and safety of structures based on the SNI 1726:2019 standard. This study aims to analyze the effect of shear wall configurations on deviation and torsion requirements in multi-story building planning. The study object is a 6-story reinforced concrete building model in a specific earthquake zone. The design and modeling were performed using structural analysis software, taking into account columns, beams, slabs, and shear walls. The analysis results show that optimal placement of shear walls at the building edges significantly reduces horizontal drift, torsion, and shear forces, and improves the structural performance level compared to structures without shear walls or those with less effective placement. Structures with shear walls have optimal stiffness in absorbing lateral forces, making them more resistant to damage from the planned earthquake.

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) requires a high cement content, which contributes to increased carbon emissions; therefore, this study evaluates the effect of partial cement substitution with fly ash (5%, 10%, and 15%) and the addition of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) waste (0.5% and 0.7%) on the mechanical properties of SCC with a target strength of f’c 30 MPa. The research employed laboratory experimental methods, including fresh concrete tests (slump flow, L-box, and V-funnel) and hardened concrete tests (compressive, tensile, and flexural strength) at 7 and 28 days. The results indicate that fly ash substitution enhances compressive strength, with the highest value of 49.59 MPa achieved at 5% fly ash at 28 days, exceeding normal concrete (34.73 MPa). The addition of PET tends to reduce compressive strength due to increased porosity; however, it significantly improves flexural strength, as the combination of 5% fly ash and 0.5% PET achieved 4.7 MPa compared to 2.9 MPa for normal concrete. Overall, the combination of fly ash and PET waste shows potential for application in structural elements requiring high flexural performance.

Modern infrastructure development often involves the use of mass concrete in large structural elements such as pile caps and foundations. However, massive concrete volumes trigger a significant temperature increase due to the heat of hydration that is difficult to dissipate, posing a risk of thermal stress and structural cracking. This study aims to analyze the temperature rise behavior of mass concrete and evaluate the effectiveness of combining chilled water and fly ash substitution in minimizing these thermal cracking risks.The research method employs a quantitative approach through laboratory testing at PT Adhimix RMC Plant Kaligawe. Specimen blocks measuring 40 x 40 x 100 cm were divided into three variations: normal concrete (BN), concrete with chilled water and 15% fly ash (BAF), and concrete with 25% fly ash (BF). Temperature was monitored using thermocouples at the core and surface for 14 days, then validated using the Portland Cement Association (PCA) formula. The results indicate that the integration of chilled water with 15% fly ash and the use of 25% fly ash significantly controlled extreme temperature surges at the 5th hour. The combination of chilled water and 15% fly ash produced the lowest core temperature of 37.3°C, far below the control concrete which reached 62.4°C. This proves that the combination of precooling methods and fly ash substitution is effective in reducing the heat of hydration during the early hardening period, although the use of 25% fly ash was found to be more stable in maintaining mass concrete temperature.

Digitalization in the healthcare sector is a strategic step to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and service quality. One of the key innovations gaining significant attention is the use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Purpose: This study aims to analyze nurse competence, social influence, and usability on actual use electronic medical record with perceived ease of use as intervening variable at Satya Negara Hospital. Methods: The research method used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 108 nurses as respondents selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using a Structural Equation Model (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS). Findings: The results indicate that nurse competence, social influence, and usability significantly affect the actual use of EMR. Additionally, perceived ease of use mediates these relationships, enhancing the adoption and utilization of EMR systems. Implications: The managerial implications of this study include the need to enhance nurse competency training, strengthen social support in the workplace, and improve the usability of the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system to encourage more optimal use. This study also contributes to the development of literature on health information technology implementation by integrating human, social, and technical factors into the analytical model.

Patient safety culture is a critical component in healthcare organizations, reflecting the values, attitudes, competencies, and behavioral patterns that ensure safe patient care. This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge and work environment on patient safety culture, with attitude serving as an intervening variable. A quantitative approach with an explanatory causal design was employed, involving 118 nurses as respondents selected through total population sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares. The findings reveal that both knowledge and work environment have a significant direct effect on patient safety culture. Additionally, knowledge and work environment significantly influence attitudes, while attitudes themselves have a significant effect on patient safety culture. However, attitude does not mediate the relationship between knowledge and patient safety culture, but it does mediate the influence of the work environment on patient safety culture. These results indicate that improving nurses’ knowledge and creating a supportive work environment are essential strategies for strengthening patient safety culture. The study also highlights the importance of fostering positive attitudes through organizational support and conducive working conditions. The implications suggest that hospital management should focus on continuous training programs, enhancing workplace conditions, and developing systems that promote positive behavioral attitudes among healthcare workers to improve overall patient safety outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the leadership qualifications of Moses in Exodus 18:21 and examine their relevance for contemporary Christian team leadership. The research is grounded in the increasing complexity of modern leadership challenges, which often prioritize structural effectiveness without sufficient ethical and spiritual foundations. Employing a qualitative approach with a historical-grammatical hermeneutical method, this study interprets the text within its historical, literary, and lexical contexts. The findings reveal that the four leadership criteria—capable, God-fearing, trustworthy, and hating dishonest gain—form an integrated value system that undergirds Israel’s collective leadership structure. The novelty of this research lies in its interpretation of Exodus 18:21 not merely as a description of Moses’ personal charisma, but as a paradigm for participatory and ethically grounded team leadership. Theologically, the “fear of God” functions as the normative center that integrates competence and integrity. These findings suggest that contemporary Christian leadership development should prioritize spiritual character and moral accountability as foundational elements in building sustainable and integrity-based teamwork..

This study aims to reflect on the theological meaning of natural disasters in Sumatra (Aceh, Simeulue, Padang) from an ecological perspective. Although Sumatra is geologically prone to earthquakes and tectonic activities due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, hydrometeorological disasters such as floods and landslides are exacerbated by human actions, including deforestation, watershed degradation, and uncontrolled land conversion. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive approach using library research and a theological-reflective method. Primary sources include Sacred Scripture, Church documents (Laudato Si', Gaudium et Spes, General Directory for Catechesis), and relevant ecological theology literature. The findings indicate that natural disasters in Sumatra can be interpreted as "signs of the times" revealing both ecological and moral crises. Disasters are not divine punishment but consequences of humanity's misuse of freedom in managing creation. Ecological conversion is urgently needed at personal, social, and structural levels. Within the catechetical framework, disaster experiences become "texts of life" that guide the faithful toward mature faith expressed in lifestyle changes, solidarity, and responsibility for our common home.
