This study aims to analyze the effect of open unemployment rate, education level, and minimum wage on economic growth in East Java Province during the period 2017-2024. The approach used is quantitative with an explanatory research design. The data were analyzed using panel data regression method that includes time dimension and geographical area, and supported by statistical tests to measure the significance of the influence of each variable. The results show that the open unemployment rate has a negative and significant effect on economic growth. In contrast, education level has a positive and significant effect on economic growth. Meanwhile, the minimum wage also has a significant but negative effect on economic growth, indicating that an increase in the minimum wage that is not proportional to productivity can hinder economic growth. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect economic growth in East Java Province. The R-squared value of 41.80% indicates that the variation in economic growth can be explained by these three variables, while the rest is influenced by other factors outside the model.
 

This study aims to examine in depth the factors that drive Bukittinggi City to become one of the leading tourist destinations in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach through direct observation methods and semi-structured interviews with tourism industry players, local communities, and tourists, this study explores the contribution of socio-cultural characteristics of communities, geographical conditions, and the role of government to strengthening tourism attractions.

Human Resource Management (HRDM) has a strategic role in managing, directing, and developing employee potential to achieve organizational goals effectively and efficiently. One of the indicators of MSDM's success is the achievement of optimal employee performance. Employee performance is a crucial aspect in ensuring the effectiveness and operational efficiency of the organization, especially in government agencies such as the Jakarta Education Quality Assurance Center (BPMP), which has a mandate to guarantee and improve the quality of education in its area. This study aims to find out the extent of the influence of Leadership Style and Work Motivation on the Performance of BPMP DKI Jakarta Employees. This study uses a quantitative approach with an associative method, which aims to examine the relationship between two independent variables, namely Leadership Style and Work Motivation, to the dependent variable, namely Employee Performance. The data collection technique was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires to 57 respondents determined using the Slovin formula from a total population of 132 employees. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression with a series of tests such as validity, reliability, classical assumptions (normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests), and hypothesis tests (t-tests and F tests). The results of the study show that both Leadership Style and Work Motivation have a positive and significant influence on Employee Performance partially. This means that improvements in leadership and work motivation directly have an impact on increasing productivity and the quality of employee performance. These findings indicate that the management of BPMP DKI Jakarta needs to pay greater attention to the development of effective leadership and the creation of a work environment that is able to motivate employees. This research is expected to be a reference for policy makers in designing human resource management strategies that are oriented towards improving performance in a sustainable manner.

This study investigates the multifaceted factors shaping user experience in the adoption of AI-based information systems within healthcare settings. As artificial intelligence increasingly supports clinical decision-making processes, understanding the psychological and behavioral dimensions of user interaction becomes imperative. Utilizing a qualitative systematic literature review approach, this research synthesizes findings from scholarly articles published between 2020 and 2025.

The digital design of cultural museums with an interactive and educational approach in Indramayu Regency aims to present a modern, innovative, and interesting cultural preservation space. This concept was born from the urgent need for a means that are able to preserve, document, and promote local cultural wealth in the midst of the rapid flow of globalization. The lack of cultural literacy among the public, especially the younger generation, as well as the loss of historical objects due to inadequate storage facilities, are the main reasons for the importance of developing digital-based museums. Through an interactive approach, visitors can actively engage with cultural collections using advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and interactive multimedia. This technology provides an immersive, engaging, and personalized learning experience, so that visitors not only see, but also virtually experience the richness of the culture on display. Meanwhile, the educational approach is designed to create an informative, collaborative, and fun learning environment, which is highly relevant for learners and the younger generation as the successors of cultural preservation. Indramayu Regency, known for its long history, maritime traditions, and distinctive coastal culture, has great potential to become a center for cultural education. This digital museum will utilize digital technology to document cultural narratives in depth, so that it can be accessed not only by local people, but also national and international tourists. With its strategic location in the city center, the presence of this museum is expected to encourage the participation of the public and tourists in understanding, appreciating, and preserving the local culture of Indramayu. Apart from being an educational facility, this museum is expected to be able to become a driver of local tourism that makes a positive contribution to the economy of the surrounding community. Digital cultural museums are not only a place for preservation, but also a symbol of a strong regional identity, reflecting the synergy between technological innovation and commitment to cultural sustainability in the modern era.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of Canva and Nearpod digital platforms in supporting the strengthening of students' character at the elementary school level. Character education is a fundamental aspect in the formation of students' personalities who have integrity, toughness, and adaptability to the development of the times. In the digital era, interactive learning media is an important means to instill character values in a more interesting and contextual way. The method used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles, with the research subjects consisting of teachers, class V students, and students' parents. The learning process is designed to blend character education content with the use of Canva as a creative visual medium, as well as Nearpod as an interactive presentation tool that allows students to be active through online quizzes, assignments, and reflections. The results of the study showed a marked increase in students' learning motivation, attitude of responsibility, discipline, cooperation in groups, and the ability to make decisions independently. Parental involvement in digital learning also supports the consistency of character strengthening at home. However, the study also noted several challenges, such as the limitations of technological devices, unstable internet networks, and variations in students' and parents' digital literacy abilities. Recommended solutions include intensive training for teachers in the use of digital media, improved support facilities in schools, as well as a collaborative approach between teachers and parents. Thus, the integrated use of Canva and Nearpod not only supports mastery of academic materials, but also significantly strengthens students' character values holistically. This study is expected to be a reference in the development of digital learning innovations oriented towards character education at the elementary level.

Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) from 2021 to 2023, the crime rate in Indonesia increased by 345,510 cases. This increase indicates social problems, particularly in the economic sector. Factors such as high unemployment, high poverty rates, and low minimum wages are the main causes driving crime. When people's basic needs are not met, the potential for deviant behavior to meet their living needs tends to increase. This study aims to analyze the influence of unemployment, poverty, and the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) on crime rates in Indonesia, both partially and simultaneously. The study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data sources obtained from official BPS publications. The data used is panel data, namely a combination of time series (time span) and cross-section (across regions/provinces) data for the period 2021–2023. Data analysis was performed using a panel data regression model with a Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach after undergoing the Hausman Test. The results show that partially, the three variables—unemployment, poverty, and the UMP—have a significant influence on crime rates. Simultaneous testing also showed that collectively, these three variables significantly influence the crime rate. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) test result of 93.5% indicates that unemployment, poverty, and the minimum wage (UMP) variables are able to explain most of the variation in crime rates in Indonesia during the study period, while the remaining 6.5% is influenced by other variables not included in the model. This finding emphasizes the importance of improving the economic conditions of the community through job creation, poverty alleviation, and minimum wage adjustments as preventative measures to reduce crime rates in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Product Quality, Price, Sales Promotion, and Advertising on consumer purchasing decisions on the Bukalapak online store platform. This study used a quantitative approach with descriptive methods, aiming to illustrate the relationships between variables based on empirical data. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 120 respondents who were active Bukalapak users in the West Medan District. The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS software to determine the effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable. The analysis results indicate that, partially, the variables Product Quality, Sales Promotion, and Advertising have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions. This means that the higher the product quality, the more effective the promotion, and the more attractive the advertisement, the greater the likelihood of consumers making a purchase. Conversely, the variable Price showed a negative and significant influence, indicating that inappropriate pricing can reduce purchase intention. Simultaneously, all four variables have a significant influence on purchasing decisions. The Adjusted R Square value of 70.4% indicates that this research model is able to explain 70.4% of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the dependent variable is influenced by factors outside the model. This study recommends that Bukalapak continue to improve product quality, develop competitive pricing strategies, strengthen promotions, and create creative advertising. Further research is recommended to consider additional variables such as product reviews, brand image, and service quality to enrich the analysis.
