Lumbar flexibility refers to the maximum capacity of the muscles in the lumbar spine to move freely. Impairment in functional movement may lead to restricted mobility, which can be influenced by disruption of biomotor components, particularly lumbar spinal flexibility. Flexibility may be affected by both internal and external factors, including age and duration of sitting during work. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sitting duration and age with lumbar flexibility using the Modified Schober Test among employees of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia, Lhokseumawe City. This study applied a cross-sectional design and was conducted in December 2023 in the prayer room area of the PT Bank Syariah Indonesia branch office. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique involving 46 respondents. Data collection was performed by measuring lumbar flexibility using the Modified Schober Test method. The results showed that the highest proportion of respondents had limited lumbar flexibility, accounting for 24 respondents (52.2%). The majority of respondents had a sitting duration of 7–9 hours, totaling 26 respondents (56.5%), while the largest age group was 26–35 years, consisting of 23 respondents (50%). Spearman-Rank correlation analysis demonstrated a relationship between sitting duration and lumbar flexibility measured by the Modified Schober Test (r = 0.662). In addition, the relationship between age and lumbar flexibility also showed a correlation based on the Spearman-Rank test (r = -0.321). The study concluded that longer sitting duration and increasing age were associated with greater limitation in lumbar flexibility among employees of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia, Lhokseumawe City.

Profil baja IWF (Instrument Wide Flange) merupakan elemen struktur yang banyak digunakan pada bangunan industri karena kemudahan dalam pemasangan dan fleksibilitasnya. Namun, kondisi lingkungan ekstrem seperti genangan air dengan pH asam maupun basa dapat mempercepat proses demineralisasi (korosi) pada baja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi laju kehilangan unsur Fe dari profil baja IWF akibat perendaman dalam larutan dengan pH ekstrem, serta menyusun model matematis yang menggambarkan proses demineralisasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah uji laboratorium dengan perendaman potongan baja dalam larutan pH 4, 7, dan 10 selama 72 jam, dilanjutkan dengan uji TDS, ORP, dan morfologi. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pada pH 4, terjadi demineralisasi Fe tertinggi sebesar 16,167 mg dengan rata-rata ORP sebesar 195,5 mV dan TDS 732,55 ppm. Berdasarkan data tersebut, dibentuk model matematis diferensial untuk memprediksi laju demineralisasi. Disarankan penggunaan pelapis (coating) yang sesuai untuk meningkatkan umur pakai struktur baja.

The advancement of digital technology in financial systems, including the implementation of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) in the retail sector, has driven the increased use of non-cash payment methods. How flexibility, time efficiency, and protectivity influence the number of QRIS transactions conducted in retail stores is the subject of this research. Validity, reliability, classical assumption analysis, and hypothesis analysis. Results show that time efficiency contributes significantly to increasing QRIS transactions, while flexibility and security are not significantly affected. Only 18.9% of the variation in QRIS usage behavior is caused by the three independent variables, according to the coefficient of determination (R2). These findings indicate that time efficiency is a key factor in driving the retail sector to adopt digital payment systems.

Employee loyalty is an important aspect in maintaining organizational sustainability, because high loyalty will have an impact on improving the company's performance and success in the long term. Factors such as job characteristics, work flexibility, and work motivation are thought to have an important role in influencing employee loyalty, especially in government agencies that demand high dedication. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the influence of job characteristics, work flexibility, and work motivation on employee loyalty at the Directorate General of Minerals and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia. This study used a quantitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a sample size of 90 respondents. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 26 software, and supplemented with descriptive analysis of the primary data obtained. The results showed that the regression equation obtained was Y = 8.219 + 0.464X1 + 0.110X2 + 0.429X3. This equation indicates that job characteristics, work flexibility, and work motivation have a significant effect on employee loyalty. Partially, work flexibility is proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee loyalty. Similarly, work motivation also has a positive and significant partial effect on loyalty. This confirms that better job characteristics, greater flexibility, and stronger motivation mean higher levels of employee loyalty. This research implies that organizations need to consider job design, work system flexibility, and motivation-boosting strategies to build sustainable employee loyalty.
