This study aims to analyze the influence of individual competence, work attitude, and internal communication on employee performance at PT Kido Mulia Indonesia. The background of this research is based on the importance of competent human resources, a positive work attitude, and effective internal communication in improving employee productivity. The research method used is quantitative with an associative approach. The sample consisted of 99 respondents who are employees of PT KMI, selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS. The results show that, partially, the variable of individual competence has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with a t-value greater than the t-table value and a significance level below 0.05. Similarly, work attitude and internal communication variables also have a positive and significant influence on employee performance. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly influence employee performance. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.736 indicates that 73.6% of the variation in employee performance can be explained by the three independent variables, while the remaining 26.4% is explained by other variables outside the model. The managerial implication of this research emphasizes the importance for company management to enhance employee competence through training programs, foster a positive work culture, and strengthen effective internal communication systems. These actions are expected to support the sustainable improvement of employee performance.

This study aims to analyze the influence of workload and job insecurity on turnover intention through job satisfaction as a mediating variable at PT Java Wood Industri. The research uses a quantitative explanatory approach with a sample of 303 employees selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS 26. The results show that workload has a significant positive effect on turnover intention, while job insecurity does not significantly affect turnover intention. Job satisfaction also has a significant positive effect on turnover intention. However, neither workload nor job insecurity significantly affects job satisfaction, and job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between workload/job insecurity and turnover intention. The findings suggest that companies should focus on managing workload and improving job satisfaction to reduce employee turnover intention.

This study aims to analyze the effect of product quality on purchasing decisions with price as a moderating variable at Nawa Bistro Solo. Using a quantitative approach with causal-comparative design, data were collected through online questionnaires from 48 respondents selected by purposive sampling. The research instrument consisted of 20 question items with a Likert scale of 1-5 that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis used moderation regression with classical assumption tests. The results show that product quality has a significant positive effect on purchasing decisions with a regression coefficient of 0.612 (p < 0.05). Price proved to act as a moderating variable that strengthens the relationship between product quality and purchasing decisions with an interaction coefficient of 0.284 (p < 0.05). The majority of respondents (77.1%) showed positive purchasing decisions and 66.7% gave positive assessments of product quality. These findings imply that appropriate value-based pricing strategies can optimize the impact of product quality on consumer loyalty in the culinary industry.

This study explores students’ perceptions of podcast media used by English teachers in teaching listening comprehension at MA Darul Ulum Palangka Raya. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from 27 tenth-grade students through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings show that students generally held positive perceptions toward podcasts. Despite initial difficulties such as understanding native speakers’ accents, rapid speech, and limited vocabulary students overcame these challenges using strategies like repetition, subtitles, note-taking, and translation tools. Podcasts were found to support improvements in pronunciation, vocabulary, and overall listening comprehension. Students also appreciated the flexibility, accessibility, and engaging content podcasts offer, which enhanced their motivation in learning. However, some obstacles such as lack of consistency and motivation were also reported. Still, students developed adaptive strategies to stay engaged. This study concludes that podcast media can be an effective tool for improving EFL students’ listening skills when integrated with proper guidance and regular practice. The findings highlight the potential of podcasts as a supportive and accessible medium in English language instruction.

This study explores the relationship between smoking habits, hemoglobin levels, and awareness of carbon monoxide (CO) risks among street cleaning workers. Smoking is one of the most common sources of CO exposure, which can bind to hemoglobin and reduce oxygen transport in the body. A total of 67 street cleaning workers in West Jakarta were involved in this research, using a descriptive analytic approach. Data were collected through blood tests for hemoglobin levels, as well as interviews and questionnaires to assess smoking habits and knowledge of CO. The findings show that most respondents were light smokers (1–10 cigarettes per day), and 43% had been smoking for less than five years. While 66% of participants had normal hemoglobin levels, 33% had elevated levels, which may reflect the body’s response to reduced oxygen availability. Interestingly, 70% of respondents were aware of the health risks of CO, but knowledge tended to decline among long-term or heavy smokers. This indicates a gap between behavior and risk awareness. The study highlights the need for ongoing health education targeted at outdoor workers to increase understanding of CO exposure and prevent potential health impacts.

This study examines how colonial power is articulated through the form, spatial layout, and symbolism of Bogor Palace, and how post-independence transformations in function and discourse shape its new identity. As a colonial architectural legacy, Bogor Palace holds historical significance and reflects power dynamics, cultural representation, and spatial acculturation in both colonial and postcolonial contexts. The research highlights the importance of reassessing colonial architecture as a medium for representing power and ideology, especially in buildings that remain national symbols. Using a qualitative approach with literature review and visual analysis, the study applies Michel Foucault’s theory of power and discourse to reveal embedded power structures, and Erwin Panofsky’s iconography and iconology to decode visual symbols and meanings. Findings show that the neoclassical European style of the palace reflects colonial dominance, yet its adaptation through local materials, construction techniques, and climate-responsive elements indicates a complex process of acculturation. Initially marginal, local culture becomes integrated into the building’s design. After independence, the palace was resemanticized from a colonial icon to a national emblem, illustrating a shift in identity and power narratives. Today, restoration efforts not only preserve its historical value but also reaffirm role as a dynamic cultural space shaping Indonesia’s collective memory.

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.
