The agrarian conflict in the Kendeng Mountains, Central Java, arose due to the construction of a cement factory by PT Semen Indonesia, which was supported by the state through the issuance of environmental permits, even though several permits had been revoked by court decisions. The local community rejected the project because it threatened their water sources, environment, and livelihoods. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the state, corporations, and civil society in the agrarian conflict in Kendeng, as well as the role of civil society movements in responding to this conflict. The research uses qualitative methods with a literature study of journals and related news reports. Using Karl Marx's theory of conflict and Charles Tilly's theory of social movements, the study finds that the state tends to side with corporate interests, while civil society continues to build resistance through collective action, legal advocacy, public campaigns, and ecofeminist movements. The Kendeng conflict reflects the imbalance of power relations and the weakness of substantive democracy in natural resource management. The need for increased transparency in licensing, community participation, and ecological protection are the main solutions.

This study aims to analyze the quality control of white crystal sugar production at ABC Sugar Factory using the Statistical Quality Control (SQC) method. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a case study design. The primary data consisted of production volume and defective product data during the 2024 production period, while supporting data were obtained through observation and interviews with the Quality Control department. The analytical tools applied included check sheets, histograms, Pareto diagrams, p control charts, and fishbone diagrams. The results show that from a total production of 190,745.89 tons, defective products amounted to 66.70 tons, representing 0.33 percent of total output. The identified defects consisted of wet sugar at 45 percent, brownish sugar color at 30 percent, and oversized sugar crystals at 25 percent. Defective products occurred only during the first to third production periods, while no defects were observed from the fourth to seventh periods. The p chart analysis indicates that the production process was statistically out of control in the early periods but became stable and controlled in the subsequent periods. From a managerial perspective, these findings provide practical guidance for improving manufacturing quality through enhanced process control, equipment maintenance, and workforce capability development.

The persistent issue of high youth unemployment among Senior High School (SHS) graduates necessitates cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset through formal education, making Entrepreneurship Education (EE) a national strategic imperative. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) critically analyzed 15 empirical articles, selected via the strict PRISMA protocol, to evaluate the effectiveness of diverse EE curriculum models in enhancing students' Entrepreneurial Interest (Intention) and Attitude. The key finding is that EE implementation is substantially effective only when executed through active, experience-based pedagogical models such as Experiential Learning, Project-Based Learning (PjBL), and the Teaching Factory which are superior in fostering practical competency and significantly boosting Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and positive Attitude, consistent with the Theory of Planned Behavior. Successful implementation also critically depends on robust operational factors, including structured curriculum management (e.g., PDCA cycle) and the availability of competent teachers. In conclusion, the findings provide a strong evidence-based framework, recommending that policymakers prioritize experiential models and integrate modern elements like Digital Literacy and Non-cognitive Skills to produce SHS graduates with genuine entrepreneurial readiness.

In the fast-moving fashion retail industry, supply chain efficiency is a key factor in operational success. Heybeb Factory Outlet, as one of the retail business actors, faces challenges in managing the flow of goods from upstream to downstream, particularly in balancing demand between offline (physical stores) and online (e-commerce/marketplace) channels. This proposal aims to design and analyze the logistics workflow starting from goods ordering (restocking) from the central warehouse, the goods receiving process, rigorous Quality Control (QC) procedures, storage in a dedicated transit warehouse, and the stock distribution mechanism (stock split) for the two sales channels. The main issues identified include the risk of overselling in one channel while stock accumulation occurs in another, as well as the potential for defective items to pass through due to an unstructured QC process. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach by mapping out an ideal Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The expected outcome is the development of an integrated inventory management system capable of minimizing return rates caused by defective items and maximizing inventory turnover through accurate stock allocation between online and offline divisions.

This community service activity aims to assist the Ibu Jum Tempe Home Industry MSME in Bandar Lampung in implementing the process costing method as a more accurate, measurable, and efficient production cost calculation system. To date, MSMEs still use simple cost recording without a clear separation between raw material costs, labor, and factory overhead, so that product selling prices often do not reflect actual production costs. To address this problem, this activity was carried out through several stages, namely interviews to explore MSME needs and problems, production process observations, socialization regarding the importance of cost accounting systems, and direct training in the preparation and implementation of process costing. The results of the activity showed an increase in MSME owners' understanding of cost classification, unit cost calculations, and the preparation of production cost reports. After the process costing method was implemented, MSMEs were able to calculate costs more systematically and consistently, thus being able to determine more appropriate and competitive selling prices. In addition, the implementation of this method also contributed to increased cost management efficiency, transparency of financial information, and the managerial ability of business actors in making more appropriate decisions related to cost planning and control.

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) in the working area of Mulyorejo Public Health Center, where an aluminum factory is located, rank first among the ten most common diseases. This study aims to analyze the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and PM2.5 exposure on ARI complaints in the aluminum factory area of Payageli Village, Deli Serdang Regency. The cross-sectional observational study involved 160 housewives living within a radius of 10–1500 meters from the factory’s chimney. The analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. Results showed that 58.1% of respondents experienced ARI symptoms in the past month. The average ambient (outdoor) PM2.5 concentration measured from three sampling points was 12.3 µg/m³, which did not exceed the WHO standard (<15 µg/m³). The highest concentration was recorded in the southern direction (15.5 µg/m³). Bivariate analysis indicated that education (p = 0.010), direction of house location (p = 0.001), and indoor PM2.5 concentration (p = 0.006) were significantly associated with ARI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the most dominant factor influencing ARI was indoor PM2.5 concentration (p = 0.039), followed by education (p = 0.013) and direction of house location (p = 0.001). This study provides a scientific basis for air quality control and housing environment improvement to reduce the risk of environmentally related diseases in industrial zones.

This research analyzes the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (K3/OSH) in the automation project of the Vacuum Pan machine at a sugar factory in Indonesia. The Vacuum Pan machine automation project poses high potential hazards due to its involvement with electrical systems, high-pressure pipes, and the installation of electrical and automatic control systems. The research methods used were daily direct observation in the field and interviews with the factory's safety (EHS) personnel, project workers, and interns for one month, from July 7 to August 8, 2025. The results show that K3 planning, such as the availability of HIRADC documents, SOPs, Safety Plans, and K3 facilities (APAR, evacuation routes, safety signs), has been well-implemented and adheres to applicable standards. K3 supervision activities include Safety Inspection (routine twice a week), Safety Patrol (daily and spontaneous), and Safety Talk or Toolbox Meeting (routine every Wednesday). However, the aspect requiring improvement is worker discipline, particularly in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), which were recorded at compliance frequencies of 65% and 60%, respectively. Workers' response to hazardous situations was also found to be less responsive (50%). In conclusion, while K3 planning and facilities are adequate, the overall K3 implementation needs to be optimized through increased supervision and the establishment of a disciplined culture regarding PPE and SOPs.

This community service activity aims to improve the quality of vocational education by strengthening the management of the Teaching Factory (TeFa) at SMK Muhammadiyah Purwodadi. This model requires active student involvement in the production of goods or services in accordance with workplace standards, thereby fostering technical, managerial, and professional competencies. The implementation method uses a participatory and collaborative approach, encompassing four main stages: (1) identifying the needs and readiness of target schools, (2) developing training materials based on the results of the needs analysis, (3) implementing TeFa management training using a problem-solving approach and hands-on practice, and (4) providing post-training mentoring and evaluation. The results of the activity demonstrated a significant improvement in the managerial and technical capabilities of TeFa managers. Based on the evaluation results, participants were able to develop a production management plan integrated with the curriculum. In addition, training participants successfully implemented the concept of industrial cooperation in learning activities. Positive impacts were also seen from the increase in student participation in production projects and the increasing variety of workshop service products managed by the School. Thus, this training model can be used as a reference for other vocational schools in developing productive, innovative, and competitive TeFa management.

In the modern industrial world, robots like mechanical arms in automotive factories or packaging lines must move quickly and safely. For this, a real-time operating sistem (RTOS) is needed—think of it as a "super-fast brain" that ensures the robot reacts instantly to commands, without delays or errors. This paper analyzes popular RTOS like FreeRTOS and VxWorks for controlling industrial robots, focusing on evaluating performance (speed of operation) and stability (long-term reliability). We conducted tests in a lab using a simple robot that moves its arm to pick up objects. Performance was measured by response time (how quickly the robot stops when encountering an obstacle, ideally under 10 milliseconds) and throughput (how many tasks it can complete per second). Stability was checked through simulations of disruptions, like heavy loads or interfered sensor signals, using metrics such as error rate and time variation (jitter). Results show that FreeRTOS is more efficient for small, affordable robots, with high performance (average response time of 4 ms) but moderate stability (5-10% errors during overload). In contrast, VxWorks excels in stability (errors <2%, stable for up to 95% of tasks on time) for large factory robots, though it requires stronger hardware. Our analysis uses simple models like graphs and repeated tests, without complex formulas, to prove that the right RTOS can boost production efficiency by up to 25% and reduce accident risks.

This study aims to identify the implementation of soft skills and hard skills, explore strategies for developing hard skills, and analyze entrepreneurial independence among vocational students. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews and observations, then analyzed descriptively through data reduction, presentation, and verification. The results show that soft skills are internalized through workplace culture programs emphasizing ethics, communication, and adaptability, supported by mentoring and reflection activities. Hard skills are applied in alignment with industry needs through curriculum synchronization, hands-on practice, and skill-based projects, ensuring professional competence. Development of hard skills is strengthened through internships, external training, and peer teaching, with success assessed from product quality, innovation, and relevance to market demand. Entrepreneurial independence is fostered through motivation, alumni inspiration, and the Teaching Factory program that integrates learning with real business experiences. Internships also help students interact directly with customers and handle business challenges, while sustainability is maintained through product management and freelance opportunities. Overall, the implementation of internship-based learning effectively enhances vocational students’ technical and non-technical competencies, enabling them to adapt, innovate, and compete in the dynamic job market.

The Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) methodology is a qualitative risk analysis technique commonly used to detect potential work hazards. CV. Suryadi Sentosa, also known as Bapak Suryadi's Home Tempe Industry, is a home-based business that produces tempeh. Almost all of the production procedures are still carried out manually, and occupational accident analysis measures have not been implemented. The factory conditions indicate inadequate lighting and ventilation, as well as relatively slippery floors. It is also observed that the industry workers do not pay much attention to their posture, and they do not use personal protective equipment (PPE). This research was conducted directly at the CV. Suryadi Sentosa Tempe Factory, using interviews and observations of seven workers involved in the production process. The steps taken in this study are compiling the sequence of the production process. By using a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) worksheet, identify potential risks, conduct risk control analysis, monitor and evaluate, implement improvements, and draw conclusions. The analysis found 9 stages of tempeh production at Mr. Suryadi's facility. Several improvements are needed, including involving several workers to handle soybean processing, creating ventilation to provide good and healthy air circulation for workers, adding lighting as a light source so that workers can perform their tasks comfortably, and using ergonomic chairs and work tables to prevent fatigue and increase factory productivity.
