Although Indonesia has integrated SDG 6 goals into national development planning, access to safe drinking water and sanitation remains a challenge in rural areas, particularly due to suboptimal policy implementation at the local level. The PAMSIMAS program is a government policy designed to improve access to clean water and sanitation services thru a community empowerment approach. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the PAMSIMAS program policy in supporting the achievement of SDG 6 in Mentaras Village, Dukun District, Gresik Regency. The research approach is descriptive qualitative with data collection thru observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis was conducted using George C. Edwards III's policy implementation model, which includes communication, resources, executor disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The research results show that the program implementation has achieved significant progress, marked by an increase in the number of households accessing clean water, affordable service costs, and community-based management thru BP-SPAMS and BUMDes that reflect the principle of accountability. However, the implementation of the program still faces challenges such as limited service coverage, an imbalance in the facilitator-to-beneficiary ratio, and coordination obstacles among implementing stakeholders. Therefore, strengthening the dimensions of communication, resources, and institutional coordination is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of program implementation and support the achievement of SDG 6 targets by 2030.

This study examines public service inefficiency in Indonesia during the digital era and its implications for achieving governmental organizational goals. Digital transformation through the implementation of e-government and technology-based public services is expected to improve effectiveness, transparency, and service quality. However, several challenges remain, including weak system integration, rigid and hierarchical bureaucratic structures, limited human resource competencies, lack of sustainable service innovation, and inadequate supervision mechanisms. This research employs a literature study method with a descriptive-qualitative approach by analyzing various academic sources such as journals, books, and relevant policy documents. The findings indicate that digitalization has not fully reduced inefficiency due to structural barriers, organizational behavior issues, and the lack of an adaptive work culture. Therefore, strengthening human resource competencies, improving digital system integration, encouraging continuous service innovation, and enhancing supervision are necessary to ensure that digital public services effectively support the achievement of organizational goals.

State revenue holds a vital position in sustaining national development and the functioning of government, with taxation serving as the primary contributor to Indonesia’s State Budget (APBN). The substantial reliance on tax income obliges the government to manage the taxation system in an optimal, efficient, and sustainable manner. Nevertheless, the attainment of tax revenue targets in practice remains challenged by various issues, including structural, administrative, and strategic limitations. This study seeks to examine the role of strategic tax management in supporting the achievement of state revenue objectives. The research adopts a literature review approach by analyzing textbooks, national and international scholarly journals, official government publications, and relevant regulatory frameworks. The data are analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method through processes of classification, comparison, and synthesis of findings from previous studies. The findings reveal that strategic tax management has a crucial influence on enhancing state revenue performance through coherent policy formulation, flexible strategy execution, and ongoing performance assessment. The integration of information technology, the reinforcement of tax administration, and the improvement of taxpayer compliance emerge as key determinants in achieving revenue targets. Accordingly, strategic tax management constitutes a fundamental tool for ensuring fiscal resilience and promoting sustainable national development.

This study examines the extent to which West Java Province has achieved Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 on clean and affordable energy in the electricity sector. The study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to evaluate policies and achievements in terms of energy access, renewable energy use, energy efficiency, and the dynamics of cooperation between government agencies. The results show that the electrification rate in West Java has almost reached 100% thanks to government policies such as the free electricity program for underprivileged communities. However, the share of renewable energy in the province was still around 15% in 2022, which has not yet reached the target of 17% by 2025. Furthermore, energy efficiency is also an important issue because primary energy consumption in West Java increased in 2022. This study emphasizes the need to enhance inter-agency cooperation, innovation in local policies, and political commitment to achieve SDG 7 targets in line with national directives.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in driving economic growth; however, their production activities frequently face uncertainty in achieving predetermined targets. Such uncertainty arises from fluctuating market demand, delays in raw material supply, labor limitations, variations in processing time, and other technical constraints. Conventional deterministic production planning methods often fail to capture these real-world risks and variations, leading to less accurate and suboptimal decisions. Therefore, a more adaptive analytical approach that incorporates probability and uncertainty is required. This study aims to analyze the probability of achieving MSME production targets using the Monte Carlo Simulation method. This method models random production conditions by generating data based on probability distributions derived from historical records. Simulations are repeated through numerous iterations to estimate possible variations in production output and measure the likelihood of meeting targets. The results indicate that Monte Carlo simulation provides more realistic and comprehensive production forecasts compared to traditional planning approaches. By understanding both the probability of success and potential risks, MSMEs can design adaptive strategies, optimize resource allocation, manage inventory more effectively, and improve overall production planning accuracy to ensure long-term business sustainability in a dynamic environment.

This study is a scholarly work by a student of the Early Childhood Education Teacher Education Program, Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, supervised by Dra. Rapi Us. Djuko as the first advisor and Mr. Nunung Suryana Jamin, SE, M.Si as the second advisor. The objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive overview of foreign language development achievements among early childhood learners in Group B at TK Nurul Ilmih. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as data collection methods. A total of 22 children participated as the primary subjects and were actively involved throughout the observation process. The research focused on several linguistic aspects, including language comprehension, verbal expression, basic vocabulary usage, pronunciation ability, and children's responses to bilingual instructions (in both Indonesian and English). The findings indicate that the children’s foreign language development falls within the "developing as expected" category, although it has not yet reached an optimal level. Some children still encounter difficulties in pronouncing English vocabulary, constructing simple sentences, and understanding verbal commands. Several factors influence the progress of their language development, including family background, parenting style, the intensity of teacher-provided stimulation, and habitual exposure to foreign languages in daily school activities. The study concludes that consistent, engaging, and developmentally appropriate stimulation from both teachers and parents plays a crucial role in fostering bilingual proficiency in early childhood.

This study aims to describe the religious habituation strategies implemented at PAUD Adz-Dzikra in developing religious and moral values among children aged 5–6 years, as well as to analyze the behavioral changes resulting from these practices. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved 50 children and 4 teachers. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the habituation activities—such as Iqra reading practice, short surah memorization, Dhuha prayer, and the Friday Cleaning program—significantly contributed to the development of children’s religious and moral values. Children not only recognized basic religious teachings but were also able to apply them in real actions, including reading hijaiyah letters, performing simple worship, demonstrating politeness, honesty, helpfulness, and maintaining personal and environmental cleanliness. The religious habituation strategies applied at PAUD Adz-Dzikra proved effective in internalizing religious and moral values in accordance with the indicators of the Early Childhood Development Achievement Standards (STPPA) stated in the Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation No. 137 of 2014. This study confirms that consistent habituation is a fundamental approach to developing religious character in early childhood.

 This study aims to analyze the influence of community-based tourism innovation and community participation on tourism sustainability in Sumba Barat Daya, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative survey design, the research involved [number of respondents] local tourism actors. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine the effect of both independent variables on the dependent variable of tourism sustainability. The results reveal that both community-based tourism innovation and community participation have a positive and significant impact on tourism sustainability (R² = 0.586). Community-based tourism innovation emerges as the most dominant factor with a coefficient of 0.420 (p < 0.001), while community participation shows a coefficient of 0.315 (p < 0.001). These findings affirm that the development of sustainable tourism relies not only on the level of community participation but also on the capacity of local communities to innovate in managing tourism destinations. The novelty of this study lies in integrating the dimensions of innovation and participation within the context of community-based tourism in Eastern Indonesia, thereby enriching the literature on Community-Based Tourism (CBT) and providing a foundation for policymakers to formulate strategies for sustainable tourism development.

Gender mainstreaming (PUG) is a development strategy that integrates gender equality as a key principle in planning and budgeting. The city of Semarang has adopted this approach in various policy documents; however, its implementation still faces significant challenges. This study aims to evaluate the achievement of the seven prerequisites for PUG according to the guidelines from the Ministry of PPPA, including commitment, policies, institutional frameworks, resources, sex-disaggregated data, gender analysis tools (GAP and GBS), and community participation. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, employing in-depth interviews, document studies, and questionnaires. Key informants include local government organizations (OPDs) and civil society representatives. Data analysis is carried out using Miles & Huberman's interactive model with thematic analysis. The findings show that normative prerequisites such as policies and institutional frameworks are in place, but implementation remains weak, particularly in the use of sex-disaggregated data and the application of GAP-GBS. Supporting factors for success include leadership commitment from specific OPDs and the existence of cross-sector coordination forums, while the main obstacles are limited human resource capacity and insufficient gender-responsive budget allocation. This study reinforces the relevance of policy implementation theory in bridging the gap between normative frameworks and operational practices. Recommendations include ongoing training, mainstreaming sex-disaggregated data, and technical regulations that all OPDs must follow to enhance the effectiveness of PUG.

This study aims to explore the relationship between work motivation and discipline on the performance achievement of Catholic Religious Education (PAK) teachers in the Semarang region. The research uses a quantitative survey approach, collecting data from 15 PAK teachers through a validated questionnaire. The instruments used to measure work motivation are based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs for the motivational aspect, while discipline is measured using indicators developed by Rivai, and performance achievement is evaluated based on parameters defined by Robbins. The findings show that motivational drive contributes 50.5% to performance achievement (R² = 0.505, p = 0.003). This indicates that work motivation has a significant impact on performance, although its contribution is lower compared to discipline. In contrast, discipline contributes more significantly to performance achievement, accounting for 66.2% (R² = 0.662, p = 0.000). This suggests that discipline is a more dominant factor in improving the performance of Catholic Religious Education teachers, as discipline is critical in achieving optimal performance. Simultaneous analysis reveals that the combination of motivation and discipline explains 72.6% of the variation in performance achievement (R² = 0.726, F = 13.893, p = 0.000). This result indicates that both variables are significantly related to performance achievement when considered together. However, partial tests show that only discipline has a significant independent impact on teacher performance, with p = 0.121, while motivation does not have a significant effect when considered separately. This study concludes that discipline functions as the main mediator in the relationship between work motivation and performance achievement. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen discipline in efforts to improve teacher performance, particularly in the context of Catholic Religious Education.

The production process is a crucial aspect in ink formulation, especially violet spot color inks for gravure printing applications, which cannot be accurately reproduced through conventional process printing systems (CMYK). This research aims to optimize the production parameters of violet gravure inks that often exhibit color instability due to delays in the grinding and adjusting stages. The main focus of this research is to analyze the effect of variations in grinding duration, post-grinding aging time, and the amount of raw material on ink color yield, which is evaluated based on density, CIE Lab*, and ΔE parameters. The methodology used was a descriptive experiment on a laboratory scale. The results showed that the optimal treatment combination of grinding for 90 minutes, aging for 48 hours, and the use of 400 grams of material (P3K2L4) produced the highest density value (1.858) and ΔE (0.572), indicating color stability despite quantity variations. This finding indicates that optimization of grinding and aging time contributes to the improvement of pigment dispersion homogeneity and thermal stability of the resin, even without direct measurement of the transition glass temperature (Tg) value.
