Teacher performance is one of the key factors in determining the quality of education and the achievement of school objectives. Several factors that are assumed to influence teacher performance include transformational leadership style, work motivation, and work discipline. This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership style, work motivation, and work discipline on teacher performance at SMK Negeri 1 Musuk Boyolali. The research employed a quantitative method with descriptive and verificative approaches. The population consisted of 50 teachers, and all members of the population were selected as respondents using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The results revealed that work motivation had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. In contrast, transformational leadership style and work discipline did not have a significant partial effect on teacher performance. However, simultaneously, transformational leadership style, work motivation, and work discipline significantly affected teacher performance. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.324 indicates that these three variables explain 32.4% of the variation in teacher performance, while the remaining 67.6% is influenced by other factors outside the scope of this study. The findings imply that enhancing work motivation should be prioritized in efforts to improve teacher performance, while leadership and work discipline should continue to be strengthened to support a more effective working environment.

This study aims to analyze the influence of organizational culture and leadership on work discipline in employees of the Woja District Office, both partially and simultaneously. Using a saturated sample, all employees in the agency were directly involved as respondents as many as 45 respondents. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that partially, organizational culture had a positive and significant effect on employee work discipline, while leadership did not have a significant influence independently. However, simultaneous testing proves that organizational culture and leadership together have a positive and significant influence on shaping employee work discipline. These findings indicate that although personal leadership style is not the primary determinant of discipline that has been bound by bureaucratic regulations, the synergy between internalizing strong work culture values and leadership support remains an important combination for an orderly work ecosystem. This research provides practical implications for government organizations in strengthening work culture, increasing leadership effectiveness, and creating a work environment that is able to encourage employee compliance, responsibility, and productivity in a sustainable manner.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of efficiency, effectiveness, and consistency in the Standard Operating Procedure for goods procurement in the purchasing department of The Oberoi Beach Resort, Bali. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. The informants included parties directly involved in procurement activities, namely the Purchasing Manager, Purchasing Supervisor, Purchasing Staff, Receiving Staff, and user departments. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that the goods procurement SOP has been implemented in a structured manner through Purchase Requisition submission, document approval, Purchase Order issuance, supplier ordering, and goods inspection by the receiving department.

Risk perception also shows a positive and significant effect, suggesting that customers with better understanding and management of investment risks are more inclined to invest in gold. In addition, resale price perception positively and significantly affects investment interest, reflecting the importance of customers' confidence in obtaining favorable resale values. Simultaneous testing using the F-test confirms that the three independent variables jointly have a significant effect on public interest in gold investment. The coefficient of determination shows an Adjusted R Square value of 33.9%, meaning that promotional strategies, risk perception, and resale price perception explain 33.9% of the variation in investment interest, while the remaining 66.1% is influenced by other factors not included in this research model.

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital structure, asset growth, and firm size on firm value in plastic and packaging sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. Firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), capital structure is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), asset growth is measured by the asset growth ratio, and firm size is measured using the natural logarithm of total assets. This research employed an explanatory quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from financial statements, annual reports, and stock price data. The sample consisted of 11 companies observed over five years, resulting in 55 panel data observations. Data were analyzed using panel data regression through the Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model, with model selection based on the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests. The results indicate that capital structure, asset growth, and firm size have no significant effect on firm value, either partially or simultaneously. These findings suggest that firm value in the plastic and packaging sub-sector is not sufficiently explained by financing structure, asset expansion, or company size. Investors are more likely to consider other factors, such as profitability, operational efficiency, cash flow, sales growth, raw material risk, and sustainability prospects. Therefore, companies should improve financial performance, asset efficiency, cost control, and sustainable innovation to enhance firm value.

Nugget is a high protein frozen food. Catfish is one of the raw materials that can be used to make nugget Catfish contains high protein, tastes good, has a soft texture and is relatively cheap. To increase the nutritional content, vegetables are added in the processing. Broccoli is one of the vegetables that can be added in making nuggets because contains high fiber and potassium. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding broccoli with different concentrations on the crude fiber, potassium and organoleptic values of catfish nuggets. The research design used was a completely randomized design with 4 treatments, each with 3 replications. The treatment in this study was based on the concentration of broccoli added, namely B0 (0%), B1 (25%), B2 (50%) and B3 (75%). Parameters observed were crude fiber, potassium, and organoleptic value of catfish nuggets. The results showed that the addition of broccoli at various concentrations had a significant effect (P<0.05) on crude fiber, and potassium value but had no significant effect on organoleptic values. The most preferred nuggets with the addition of broccoli was treatment B1 (25%). The addition of broccoli in the processing of catfish nuggets can increase crude fiber and potassium.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between epistemology and scientific logic in the development of scientific knowledge using a library research approach by reviewing relevant literature in the fields of philosophy of science, theory of knowledge, and principles of scientific logic. The findings indicate that epistemology serves as a philosophical foundation for understanding the origin, structure, and validity of knowledge, while scientific logic functions as a systematic tool that guides reasoning in constructing rational and consistent scientific truth. Both have a complementary relationship, where epistemology provides a normative framework for determining the criteria of knowledge validity, and scientific logic ensures that the reasoning process is structured, coherent, and free from fallacies. Therefore, the integration of epistemology and scientific logic plays a crucial role in producing scientific knowledge that is objective, measurable, and academically accountable, while also enhancing the overall quality and credibility of the scientific process.
