Nowadays, groundwater in the world has been widely exploited along with the increasing population. One of the impacts of massive groundwater extraction is the decline in groundwater levels. This potential could occur at one of the airports in East Java which is one of the most crowded airports in Indonesia. The large number of passengers at the airport has increased groundwater extraction due to the increasing need for sanitation, airport facilities, and other operational needs. This study aims to determine the potential for groundwater level decline at one of the airports in East Java. The research method used is a quantitative method by projecting secondary data from the results of groundwater level sampling carried out every 6 months. The results of the study showed a decline in groundwater levels at one of the airports in East Java in the next 20 years due to the increase in passengers each year. The results of this study are expected to be one of the preventive steps for all of us to maintain the sustainability of groundwater resources.
 

This study discusses the comparison of taxation systems between developed and developing countries, focusing on the strategic role of taxes in national development, tax administration challenges, and the relationship between public service quality and taxpayer compliance. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, this research compares Sweden, a developed country known for its transparent and efficient tax system, with Indonesia, a developing country that still faces challenges in tax collection and administration. The findings reveal that the success of a tax system depends greatly on transparency, public service quality, and public trust. In developed countries, taxes serve not only as state revenue but also as tools for income redistribution and economic control. Meanwhile, in developing countries, the main obstacles include low compliance, legal uncertainty, weak enforcement, and underdeveloped administrative culture. Therefore, tax reform is essential to improve tax system effectiveness and public participation. This study recommends regulatory improvement, increased tax literacy, and service innovation to build a fair, transparent, and sustainable tax system.

Injury prevention and management represent essential competencies for athletes, particularly in contact sports such as football, where physical strain is prevalent. However, limited empirical data exist concerning young athletes’ awareness of injury mechanisms, treatment procedures, and preventive strategies. This study aims to assess the knowledge level of Kancil Mas U-21 football players regarding sports injuries, including their treatment and prevention, using a descriptive statistical approach. Data were collected from 13 male athletes aged 19–21 via a structured questionnaire distributed through online platforms. The research utilized the Guttman scale to categorize responses and applied classification norms to interpret the knowledge level across three core domains: injury, treatment, and prevention. Findings revealed that the majority of athletes demonstrated a moderate understanding of injury occurrence and prevention, while knowledge related to treatment remained relatively low. The urgency of this research lies in the necessity to bridge knowledge gaps among young athletes to prevent long-term performance limitations and injury recurrence. The study's novelty stems from its focus on a semi-professional U-21 football cohort, offering insights rarely captured in mainstream sports injury literature. The contribution of this study is to inform targeted educational interventions in sports clubs and youth academies, ultimately strengthening health literacy, reducing injury incidence, and enhancing athletic performance continuity within the context of competitive football.

Political economic analysis in handling economic inequality in Indonesia reveals that although the Gini Ratio shows a decline, economic inequality remains a serious issue.

The research method used is qualitative research with a descriptive analytical approach. The government has launched various policies such as social assistance and infrastructure development, but implementation challenges such as resources, corruption, and lack of coordination between institutions still hamper the effectiveness of these policies.

Undang-Undang Nomor 14 Tahun 2008 tentang keterbukaan informasi publik mengatur setiap badan publik, termasuk rumah sakit pemerintah, membuka akses atas informasi publik. Sayangnya, informasi publik berupa kinerja rumah sakit hanya dapat diakses dalam format dokumen pdf dan spreadsheet melalui website internal rumah sakit dan website tertentu di tingkat provinsi, serta belum terorganisir dengan baik. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mengajukan sebuah rancangan aplikasi dashboard standar bagi semua rumah sakit di sebuah provinsi. Metode perancangan dilakukan dalam empat tahapan, yakni diagnosis sistem, analisis kebutuhan, pembuatan dashboard, dan evaluasi hasil rancangan. Pada setiap tahapan terdapat aktivitas dan secara khusus pada tahapan evaluasi digunakan Short - User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ-S). Hasil rancangan dashboard mampu menyajikan visualisasi informasi terhadap tujuh indikator kinerja rumah sakit sebagai informasi publik untuk tiga kategori pengguna, yakni akademisi perguruan tinggi, pimpinan/staff lembaga eksekutif/legislatif, dan peneliti/media independen. Berdasarkan respon pengalaman pengguna, diketahui bahwa dashboard telah mencapai tujuannya sebagai sebuah aplikasi untuk menyajikan informasi publik, pengguna merasa senang dan nyaman menggunakan dashboard, dan secara keseluruhan kesan pengguna terhadap sistem dashboard sangat baik. Hal ini terlihat dari hasil kuisioner UEQ-S bahwa impresi pengalaman pengguna yang menunjukkan bahwa kualitas pragmatis dashboard dinilai baik (good), kualitas hedonis dinilai sangat baik (excelent) dan secara keseluruhan sistem dashboard dinilai sangat baik (excelent).

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.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh employee engagement dan self-efficacy terhadap kinerja karyawan dengan job satisfaction sebagai variabel mediasi pada PT Pertamina Trans Kontinental. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik path analysis melalui Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) berbasis Partial Least Square (PLS) menggunakan perangkat lunak SmartPLS versi 3.29. Populasi sekaligus sampel penelitian berjumlah 40 orang karyawan tetap, dengan teknik sensus karena jumlahnya terbatas. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner tertutup dengan skala Likert lima poin. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa employee engagement dan self-efficacy berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap job satisfaction. Selain itu, employee engagement dan job satisfaction terbukti berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan. Namun demikian, self-efficacy tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan secara langsung. Di sisi lain, job satisfaction secara signifikan memediasi hubungan antara employee engagement dan kinerja karyawan, namun tidak mampu memediasi hubungan antara self-efficacy terhadap kinerja. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kepuasan kerja memiliki peran penting dalam menjembatani faktor psikologis dan perilaku terhadap kinerja. Implikasi teoretis penelitian ini adalah memperkuat literatur terkait peran mediasi job satisfaction, sedangkan implikasi praktisnya mendorong manajemen untuk fokus pada penguatan keterlibatan dan keyakinan diri karyawan guna meningkatkan kinerja. Keterbatasan penelitian ini terletas pada ukuran sampel yang kecil dan cakupan lokasi yang terbatas, sehingga temuan belum dapat digeneralisasi secara luas. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan memasukkan variabel baru seperti budaya organisasi dan religiusitas, serta memperluas sektor dan lokasi penelitian agar hasil lebih generalisabel.
