As global attention to sustainability increases, the implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles has become increasingly important in the business world. However, the social aspect of ESG is often overlooked compared to environmental and governance aspects. This study aims to identify and analyze the challenges faced by companies in implementing the social aspect of ESG through a literature review of various academic sources. The findings indicate that companies encounter challenges such as limited understanding, resource constraints, organizational cultural barriers, regulatory uncertainty, and stakeholder pressure. This research provides insights into the obstacles and potential strategies that companies can adopt to address them. However, the study is limited by its reliance on literature alone, highlighting the need for future research using primary quantitative or qualitative data to strengthen these findings.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered children's daily routines, particularly increasing screen time, decreasing physical activity, and changing sleep duration, which may impact their physical and mental health. It is important to know how changes in physical activity and screen time can affect children's sleep duration before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This study used a quantitative analytical observational cohort study method with 240 child samples aged 6–12 years in Semarang City. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. The research instrument used the SMALLQ® questionnaire. Data analysis techniques used normality tests, Spearman-Rank tests to determine correlations, and Kruskal-Wallis tests to compare data.
Results: The correlation between screen time and sleep duration was not statistically significant (p>0.05), while physical activity showed a significant positive correlation with sleep duration (r = 0.253 on weekdays, r = 0.21 weekly, p<0.05). Significant differences were found in screen time, physical activity, and sleep duration across the three periods (p<0.001), with increased screen time and decreased physical activity and sleep duration persisting post-pandemic. 
Conclusions: The pandemic led to lasting increases in screen time and decreases in physical activity and sleep duration among children. Promoting healthier routines is essential to mitigate these impacts in the new normal era.

Analysis of the preliminary research phase as the basis for developing a biology practicum guide based on a scientific approach. The purpose of this study was to describe the initial research stage data obtained as a basis for developing teaching and learning materials based on research results that will be made in the future. The development model applied in this study is the Plomp model, which has reached the initial data investigation stage. Instruments for collecting data include interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The results of the student needs questionnaire revealed that students agreed that it was necessary to develop a practicum guide based on a scientific approach with a percentage of 94.73%. The teaching materials that have been used in learning are less effective so that students are less able to understand the subject matter. So it can be concluded that it is necessary to develop teaching materials for practicum guides based on a scientific approach on the material of the circulatory system and respiratory system in class XI SMAN 15 Pekanbaru.

This study aims to examine the role of baju bodo as a symbol of the cultural identity of the Bugis-Makassar community and its preservation efforts in the modern era. Baju bodo is one of the oldest traditional clothes in Indonesia that has high historical, symbolic, and philosophical value. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that baju bodo not only functions as a body cover, but also represents social status, local aesthetic values, and cultural wisdom that is passed down from generation to generation. The transformation of the design, color, and material of baju bodo is an adaptive strategy to remain relevant amidst the development of the times without eliminating its traditional meaning. This innovation allows baju bodo to be used in modern contexts such as formal events, education, and fashion shows. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between cultural communities, government, and local designers to maintain the sustainability of cultural heritage. Thus, baju bodo remains a symbol of the Bugis-Makassar cultural identity that is alive, developing, and proud in the modern era

Efficient resource allocation is a major challenge in various sectors, especially when faced with limitations in quantity, time, and cost. This study aims to examine the application of linear programming as an optimization method in solving assignment problems, where a number of resources must be optimally allocated to a number of specific tasks. Through a literature study approach, this study examines various relevant previous study results, especially in the Indonesian context. The results of the study indicate that linear programming is able to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and produce a more balanced task distribution. However, this model has limitations in dealing with non-linear conditions and data uncertainty, so integration with other methods such as fuzzy logic or genetic algorithms is needed. This study is expected to broaden the understanding of the benefits of linear programming and encourage its wider application in quantitative-based decision making.

Purpose: This study aims to estimate and evaluate per capita expenditure at the subdistrict level in Garut Regency by employing unit-level Small Area Estimation (SAE) techniques, specifically utilizing the Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (EBLUP) and the Empirical Best Predictor (EBP) methods.
Methods: The data used in this study are socio-economic data, specifically per capita household expenditure in Garut Regency. Socio-economic data generally skew positively rather than the normal distribution, so a method that can approximate or come close to the normal distribution is needed, for example, log-normal transformation. To improve the performance of EBLUP, which may lead to inefficient estimators because of violation of the assumption of normality, this study proposes the Empirical Best Predictor (EBP) method. It handles positively skewed data by applying log-normal transformation to sample data so that it more closely conforms to the desired distribution.
Result: The EBP results are more stable than EBLUP since EBLUP is highly sensitive to outliers, and in cases where the normality assumption is violated, it produces a significant mean square error and inefficient estimators. Evaluating the estimates with both EBLUP and EBP shows Relative Root Mean Squared Error (RRMSE) values above 25%, especially in the subdistricts of Pamulihan, Sukaresmi, and Kersamanah. This is probably due to the household samples being taken in these three subdistricts being comparatively small compared to the other.
Novelty: In this research, we use EBP to improve the performance of EBLUP, which produces inefficient estimators when the normality assumption is violated.

In advertising, females are frequently positioned as the center of attention to establish product image through culturally recognized signs and symbols. Advertisements transcend their promotional function, acting as media that both reflect and influence societal perceptions, including gender roles within daily life. This is exemplified in the Vicks VapoRub advertisement titled "Mother's Amazing Hands," which portrays women as mothers perpetually prepared to care for their families. This study investigates the representation of the mother's role within the aforementioned advertisement using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The research aims to twofold: 1) identify the denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings embedded within the Vicks VapoRub "Mother's Amazing Hands" ad; and 2) analyze the portrayal of the mother figure through the lens of Barthes' semiotic framework. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing Barthes' semiotic analysis method alongside concepts of social construction of reality, cinematography techniques, and the societal role of mothers. Through the analysis of verbal, non-verbal, audio, and visual elements within the advertisement, the study revealed the multifaceted representation of the mother's role. This includes functions of caregiving, nurturing, and treatment of family members, ultimately portraying the tangible actions a mother takes in providing for her family.
