Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acceptance and performance of users of the Virtual Class application in the Bali Melajah Portal using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). This study found the main components of adoption, evaluated performance disparities, and suggested ways to improve LMS adoption in secondary schools.
Methods: This study used a quantitative approach through an online survey conducted to collect data from teachers and students. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to evaluate the relationship between the variables in the research model. IPA was used to evaluate system performance and determine areas for improvement.
Results: The study showed that perceived ease of use significantly influenced perceived usefulness, which in turn affected attitudes and behavioral intentions. Meanwhile, behavioral intentions positively affected actual system use. Performance mismatch was found, with the lowest percentage of conformity of 97.76% for actual system use. Quadrant analysis highlighted that, although the system was perceived as useful and easy to use, involvement, accessibility, and institutional support were necessary for effective system use.
Novelty: This study offers a two-pronged assessment of LMS adoption in secondary schools by combining TAM and IPA. Unlike earlier studies that only evaluated user perceptions or system performance separately, this paper provides a complete approach to maximizing government-supported digital learning platforms. These findings give policymakers and application developers knowledge to improve the adoption of Virtual Classroom LMS.

To support this mission, PPA Agape endeavors to open several business units run by workers and children sponsored by PPA Agape. The businesses run by PPA Agape include Etawa goat farming, selling fruits grown on PPA Agape's land, and a beauty and self-care store. Some problems faced by these small business units include low product awareness, limited marketing, and a lack of product variety. This community service activity aims to develop initial or simple strategies related to product marketing of the business units so that they become better known to a broader audience. The activities and support conducted at PPA Agape include business coaching and mentoring for PPA children aged 12 and above to provide insights on the importance of entrepreneurship, creating a Tokopedia account as an online sales platform for the beauty salon products, and creating an Instagram account as a promotional platform for the beauty salon products run by PPA Agape.

One of the key processes in the production of APAR cylinders is the welding of cylindrical plates, which is carried out using a Longitudinal Welding Cylinder machine and the CO₂ welding method. However, in practice, operators face several challenges, mainly due to the number of process steps that do not significantly contribute to the quantity or quality of the output, resulting in reduced productivity. This study aims to improve the productivity of the welding process through a series of improvements. The methods used include data analysis and root cause identification through the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) approach and Lean Six Sigma using the DMAIC stages (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). Based on the Define stage, the initial OEE value was 67.49%, which is still far below the world-class standard of 85%. In the Measure stage, Pareto analysis revealed that the largest downtime (2,097 minutes or 40%) was caused by cycle time issues. Further analysis showed that activities such as material setup, additional plate placement, and additional plate cutting (totaling 85 seconds) could still be optimized. During the Improve stage, modifications were made, such as eliminating the additional plate cutting process and adding a stopper to ensure accurate welding alignment. These improvements successfully reduced the cycle time from 180 seconds to 120 seconds, thereby decreasing downtime and increasing the OEE value to 76.12%.

Industri kerajinan kain jeblos yang menggunakan Alat Tenun Bukan Mesin (ATBM) memainkan peran penting dalam pelestarian budaya dan mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi di daerah tersebut. Namun, pengelolaan persediaan benang yang tidak efektif, baik karena kelebihan stok maupun kekurangan bahan baku, sering menyebabkan proses produksi terganggu. Dalam penelitian ini, metode Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) dan Reorder Point (ROP) digunakan sebagai solusi ilmiah dalam manajemen rantai pasok untuk mengoptimalkan sistem pengelolaan stok benang. Data yang digunakan berasal dari pemakaian benang selama satu tahun (2020) pada salah satu unit usaha kain jeblos. Permintaan tahunan benang tercatat sebesar 11.396,24 kg. Berdasarkan perhitungan metode EOQ, jumlah pemesanan optimal setiap kali order adalah sebesar 754,86 kg, sedangkan titik pemesanan ulang (ROP) ditentukan pada saat persediaan menyentuh 221,59 kg, dengan asumsi konsumsi harian sebesar 31,66 kg dan lead time 7 hari. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa penerapan metode EOQ dan ROP dapat menurunkan total biaya persediaan tahunan dari Rp 1.752.143 menjadi Rp 1.509.717, sehingga menghasilkan penghematan sebesar ±Rp 242.425 per tahun. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa algoritma EOQ dan ROP dapat diterapkan secara efektif dalam skala usaha kecil kerajinan kain tradisional, guna meningkatkan efisiensi biaya dan menjaga kesinambungan pasokan bahan baku.

This research aims to analyze the President's partisanship in political campaigns based on Article 281 of Law Number 7/2017 on General Elections. This issue is important because it concerns the integrity of democracy and public trust in the institution of the presidency. The urgency of this study increased after the President of the Republic of Indonesia showed a symbolic gesture of support for one of the candidate pairs and conveyed his intention to “cawe-cawe” in organizing the 2024 Election. This research uses an empirical juridical method with a literature study approach to legislation, legal literature, and content analysis of print and electronic media coverage. The novelty of this research lies in the focus of analysis on the ambiguity of Article 281 norms that have not specifically regulated the role of the president as a political actor as well as head of state in the context of the campaign. The results show that the President's actions have the potential to violate the principle of neutrality as stipulated in Article 281. On the other hand, the norm is considered multi-interpretive and potentially contradicts Article 4 of the 1945 Constitution, which places the President as the holder of government power. This study concludes that Article 281 of Law No. 7/2017 needs to be revised because it has the potential for multiple interpretations of the President's position in the constitutional system, and risks blurring the line between political authority and ethics of state office.
 
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keberpihakan Presiden dalam kampanye politik berdasarkan Pasal 281 Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum. Isu ini penting karena menyangkut integritas demokrasi dan kepercayaan publik terhadap institusi kepresidenan. Urgensi kajian ini meningkat setelah Presiden Republik Indonesia menunjukkan gestur simbol dukungan kepada salah satu pasangan calon serta menyampaikan niat untuk “cawe-cawe” dalam penyelenggaraan Pemilu 2024. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis empiris dengan pendekatan studi literatur terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan, literatur hukum, serta analisis konten dari pemberitaan media cetak dan elektronik. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada fokus analisis terhadap ambiguitas norma Pasal 281 yang belum secara spesifik mengatur peran presiden sebagai aktor politik sekaligus kepala negara dalam konteks kampanye. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tindakan Presiden berpotensi melanggar prinsip netralitas sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 281. Di sisi lain, norma tersebut dinilai multitafsir dan berpotensi bertentangan dengan Pasal 4 UUD 1945 yang menempatkan Presiden sebagai pemegang kekuasaan pemerintahan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Pasal 281 UU No. 7 Tahun 2017 perlu direvisi karena berpotensi multitafsir terhadap posisi Presiden dalam sistem ketatanegaraan, serta berisiko mengaburkan batas antara kewenangan politik dan etika jabatan kenegaraan.

Minimally invasive surgery offers several advantages, including reduced blood loss, smaller incisions, less pain, and a lower risk of complications than open surgery. This approach enhances patient comfort and supports faster recovery. When guided by optimal path planning, surgical robots can accurately navigate the body to remove malignant tumors with high precision. This study proposes a Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm to determine the optimal path for robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery targeting brain tumors. The algorithm improves upon standard PSO by modifying the velocity update equation and incorporating an adaptive inertia weight, enhancing convergence speed, global search ability, and solution accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed MPSO achieves a maximum fitness value of 19.10 in a sparse obstacle environment, outperforming standard PSO and IPSO in quality and in the required number of iterations. The approach effectively balances path efficiency and obstacle avoidance, making it well-suited for complex surgical scenarios. In conclusion, the MPSO-based method provides a reliable and precise solution for robotic surgical navigation, improving outcomes and safety in minimally invasive procedures.
