This study aimed to determine the effect of different bait types on the catch of larval shrimp (Macrobrachium lar) using a lift net and to determine the best bait type in the waters of Cijeruk Indah, Garut Regency, West Java. The method used in this study was an experimental method with nine replications. The independent variables in this study consisted of three types of bait: earthworms, fine rice husks, and pellets, while the dependent variable was the weight of the larval shrimp caught. The results showed that different bait types significantly affected the larval shrimp catch. Based on the total catch during the study, pellet bait yielded the highest yield, with a total weight of 2,316 grams. This was followed by fine rice husk bait with a total weight of 1,256 grams, and earthworm bait with the lowest yield, at 364 grams. Data analysis using ANOVA showed a significance value of 0.031 (p < 0.05), confirming a significant difference in catch responses between the three bait types. In conclusion, pellets are the most effective type of bait to use in the anco net fishing gear in catching larval shrimp at the research location.

This study aims to analyze corn consumption substitution as an alternative carbohydrate source and to measure the demand elasticity of corn in response to fluctuations in corn and rice prices at Ciawitali Market, Garut Regency. Primary data were collected through observations and interviews, along with secondary data from West Java Central Statistics Agency processed using simple linear regression and cross-elasticity analysis with SPSS. Results show that changes in corn prices explain 99.7% of variation in corn demand with a positive coefficient of 0.827, indicating a substitution effect with rice, which experienced a concurrent price increase. The cross-elasticity value of 1.64 confirms the elastic substitution relationship between corn and rice. These findings highlight the potential of corn as a substitute for rice in maintaining stable food consumption despite fluctuations in staple commodity prices.       

This study aims to analyze the effect of the price of packaged cooking oil and bulk cooking oil on the elasticity of demand as one of the staple foods in Ciawitali Market, Garut Regency. The approach used is a quantitative descriptive method with a focus on associative analysis. Data were collected through observation and interviews in the period of September and October 2025. Then processed using simple linear regression analysis and demand elasticity analysis. The results show that the demand for both types of cooking oil is strongly influenced by price. For packaged cooking oil, it shows that 81.6% of the variation is influenced by price while the rest is influenced by other factors. For bulk cooking oil, it shows that 94.1% is influenced by price with an elasticity value of -6.346, which also shows elastic properties but lower than packaged oil which has an elasticity of -22.15. These results indicate that the increase in the price of packaged and bulk oil significantly reduces the amount of demand, with the greatest effect occurring on packaged oil because consumers tend to switch to more economical bulk oil.

This study aims to analyze and compare the price responsiveness of broiler chicken meat and native chicken meat in relation to household consumption patterns in Tarogong Kidul District, Garut Regency. A quantitative approach was employed using simple linear regression analysis based on primary data obtained through observations and interviews conducted in traditional markets. The analysis examines the extent to which price changes influence the demand for both commodities. The results indicate that broiler chicken shows a very strong relationship between price and demand, reflected in an R² value of 0.963. Statistical testing further demonstrates that price has a significant effect on broiler chicken demand (0.018 < 0.05), indicating that its demand is elastic and highly sensitive to price fluctuations. In contrast, native chicken shows an R² value of 0.698 and an insignificant price effect on demand (0.164 > 0.05), suggesting inelastic demand that remains relatively stable despite price changes. These findings reveal that consumers adjust their broiler purchase quantities more quickly in response to price changes, whereas native chicken consumption is more strongly influenced by taste preferences and habitual factors. The study concludes that there is a clear difference in price sensitivity between the two types of chicken. The implications of this research include the need for government price stabilization policies for broiler chicken to maintain household affordability, as well as quality improvement and marketing strategies for native chicken producers to strengthen competitiveness amid changing consumer demand.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play an important role in public policy networks as representatives of community interests, government partners, and advocacy actors. This study aims to analyze the role of NGOs in public policy networks in Garut Regency, as well as the challenges faced in increasing their contribution to policy formulation and implementation. The study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of actors involved in the policy network. The results show that NGO involvement is still symbolic, power relations between actors are not yet equal, NGO institutional capacity is limited, and coordination within the policy network is less than optimal. The lack of regulatory support also weakens the position of NGOs in the public policy process. This study concludes that strengthening the role of NGOs through institutionalizing their involvement, developing regulations, increasing capacity, and establishing equal partnership patterns are important steps to improve the effectiveness of public policy networks in Garut Regency.

Turnover Intention influenced by a combination of individual, organizational, and work environment factors. In this context, psychological theories such as Herzberg's two-factor theory can help understand this dynamic by dividing factors that influence job satisfaction into motivators and hygiene factors. Motivators, such as recognition and achievement, contribute to higher job satisfaction, while hygiene factors, such as working conditions and management policies, play a role in preventing dissatisfaction. This study aims to explore the relationship between job satisfaction, job stress, managerial support, and employee engagement on turnover intention in various sectors. This study uses a quantitative approach with a Likert scale-based survey to collect data, which were analysed using Pearson correlation tests and multiple linear regression. The results showed that job satisfaction and managerial support have a significant negative relationship with turnover intention, while job stress shows a significant positive relationship. In addition, employee engagement through organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) has been shown to reduce turnover intention even though the level of job satisfaction is low. This study provides practical implications for organizations to design employee retention strategies through stress management, increasing job satisfaction, and managerial support. This study contributes to the enrichment of the literature on human resource management, particularly in understanding the dynamics of turnover intention, and recommends further research with a longitudinal approach to validate the results in other sectors.
