This study explores the strategic use of garbarata as an advertising medium at Minangkabau International Airport, Padang. The garbarata, which is a connecting bridge between the terminal and the aircraft, has great potential as an exclusive advertising space and has high exposure to passengers. However, this potential has not been optimally maximized. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with airport management, direct observation of the garbarata conditions, and analysis of documentation related to advertising policies and non-aeronautical asset management. The results of the study indicate that there are several main obstacles in the use of garbarata as a promotional medium. These obstacles include minimal promotional activities to potential advertisers, unclear pricing systems for advertising space rentals, lack of collaboration with advertising agencies, and limitations in the provision of design services and visual creativity. This has led to low interest of companies in utilizing this media as part of their marketing strategy. To overcome these problems, this study proposes several development strategies, including: increasing active and planned promotional activities, setting flexible and competitive rental prices, strategic collaboration with professional advertising agencies, and providing creative design services to support the effectiveness of advertising messages. This strategy is expected to attract more companies to advertise on the aerobridge, thereby increasing the airport's non-aeronautical revenue. With proper optimization, the aerobridge will not only serve as a functional passenger facility but can also transform into a strategic asset supporting the airport's sustainable commercial development and creating added value for both the operator and its business partners.

This study aims to investigate the effects of liquidity, financial leverage, capital structure, and operating cash flow on financial performance, with financial distress serving as a mediating variable. The population comprises transportation and logistics companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023, totaling 37 companies. The sample includes 20 companies, with quarterly financial reports yielding 400 observations. Secondary data were employed, and purposive sampling was utilized for sample selection. The analysis was conducted using panel data analysis at a 5% significance level, facilitated by STATA Version 17 software. Mediation was tested utilizing the Sobel test with a critical value of 1.96. The results reveal that liquidity significantly impacts both financial distress and financial performance; financial leverage significantly affects both financial distress and financial performance; capital structure significantly influences financial distress but does not significantly affect financial performance; operating cash flow does not significantly impact financial distress but significantly affects financial performance. Collectively, liquidity, financial leverage, capital structure, and operating cash flow significantly influence financial distress. Furthermore, liquidity, financial leverage, capital structure, operating cash flow, and financial distress together have a significant effect on financial performance. Mediation analysis indicates that financial distress significantly mediates the relationships between liquidity, financial leverage, capital structure, and financial performance, whereas financial distress does not significantly mediate the effect of operating cash flow on financial performance. It is recommended that transportation and logistics companies listed on the IDX actively enhance liquidity, optimally manage leverage and capital structure, and strengthen operational cash flow management to minimize financial distress risk and sustain financial performance.

Purse seine fishing gear is a type of fishing equipment consisting primarily of a large net, designed to catch both large and small pelagic fish. This study aimed to (1) determine the effect of time differences—morning and evening—on the catch of flying fish using mini purse seine fishing gear, and (2) identify the composition and dominant species caught in each fishing period. The research was conducted at Banda Neira Pier, Banda District, Central Maluku Regency, Maluku, Indonesia. An experimental fishing method was applied, and data were analyzed using the Two Sample t-Test. Fishing operations were carried out over 16 trips, equally distributed between morning and evening sessions. The total recorded catch comprised 15,078 kg of mackerel (Rastrelliger sp.), 4,017 kg of skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), 18,743 kg of deho (Euthynnus affinis), and 45,601 kg of flying fish (Decapterus sp.). In the morning, the total catch reached 36,005 kg, dominated by flying fish, whereas in the evening, it was 50,250 kg, also dominated by flying fish. Statistical analysis using the Two Sample t-Test focused on the dominant species, flying fish, and revealed a p-value of <0.05. This indicates a significant difference in the composition of the catch between morning and evening fishing activities. The findings suggest that fishing time plays a crucial role in catch volume, particularly for flying fish, with evening fishing showing higher yields. These results can be valuable for optimizing fishing strategies, improving efficiency, and supporting sustainable fisheries management in Banda Neira and similar pelagic fishing grounds.

This study aims to determine the effect of adding EM4 probiotics in various doses to commercial feed on the growth of jatimbulan tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L). Probiotics are known to play a role in increasing digestive efficiency, nutrient absorption, and maintaining the health of the fish's digestive tract, so they are expected to support optimal growth. The research method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments, namely: P0 (control/without probiotics), P1 (5 ml EM4/kg feed), P2 (7 ml EM4/kg feed), and P3 (11 ml EM4/kg feed), each with four replications. The parameters observed were the growth in length and weight of jatimbulan tilapia during the maintenance period. The results showed that the administration of EM4 probiotics at certain doses was able to provide a significant effect on the growth of tilapia compared to the control treatment. Treatment P2 (7 ml/kg feed) provided the best growth results compared to other doses, both in terms of increasing length and body weight. Meanwhile, administering probiotic doses that are too low (P1) or too high (P3) tends to be less effective in supporting optimal growth. This is thought to be due to the disruption of the microbial balance in the digestive tract when the probiotic dosage is incorrect. This research provides useful information for Jatimbulan tilapia cultivation practices, particularly regarding the use of probiotics to increase growth efficiency. Using the correct probiotic dosage can be a strategy to increase the productivity and sustainability of freshwater fish farming.
 

The objective of this mentoring activity is to increase the capacity of swimming pool managers, particularly in strengthening management and sustainable management strategies. With this increased capacity, it is hoped that Tirta Arum Swimming Pool can develop into a valuable village asset, both economically and socially. The swimming pool will not only provide a source of income for the village but also serve as a means of recreation, education, and social interaction for the surrounding community. The method used in this mentoring activity is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), an approach that emphasizes active community participation in every stage of the planning process, decision-making, and program implementation. PRA enables village communities, including Tirta Arum Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) managers, to analyze their environmental conditions, identify problems, and design contextual and sustainable solutions. This approach is implemented through structured mentoring, education, and training activities. Direct community involvement aims to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for swimming pool management. In addition, with training tailored to local needs, managers are expected to be able to apply effective management principles, from planning and financial management to customer service and promotional strategies. Thus, the results of this activity are not only temporary improvements, but also long-term empowerment that contributes to the independence and business aspirations of the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes). Through the PRA method, this activity not only provides an immediate solution to swimming pool management problems but also increases the independence of the community and managers in developing and operating the business sustainably. This increased community participation is expected to foster a sense of ownership (a sense of belonging) towards the swimming pool as a shared property.

Pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms experienced by patients with cervical cancer. It significantly affects patients' quality of life, leading to both physical and psychological burden. Conventional pharmacological interventions often come with side effects and may not fully address the multidimensional nature of pain. As an alternative, non-pharmacological approaches such as acupressure therapy have gained attention for their potential effectiveness and minimal risk profile. Acupressure is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves applying manual pressure to specific points on the body to stimulate healing and relieve discomfort. This case study highlights the outcome of a three-day acupressure intervention administered to a cervical cancer patient suffering from moderate pain and anxiety. Before the intervention, the patient's pain level was recorded at a score of 4, accompanied by noticeable anxiety. Following consistent acupressure sessions, both the pain and anxiety scores decreased to 2, indicating a meaningful improvement in comfort and emotional state. The underlying mechanism of acupressure is believed to involve the stimulation of the central nervous system, which enhances the release of endorphins—natural painkillers that act as analgesics. These findings suggest that acupressure not only provides symptomatic relief but also contributes to emotional well-being, making it a viable complementary therapy for cancer pain management. While this case study offers promising results, it is limited by its single-subject design. To validate these outcomes, further research using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) methodology and a larger sample size is highly recommended. This will provide more robust evidence on the efficacy of acupressure and support its integration into holistic cancer care.

Patient safety is a key aspect in modern healthcare that has a significant impact on quality and patient satisfaction. This study aims to determine the relationship between the implementation of patient safety and the level of inpatient satisfaction in the Aisyah Room of Sekarwangi Hospital, Sukabumi Regency. The research design used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 91 inpatients were selected at random and asked to fill out a structured questionnaire. The results showed that 96.7% of patients rated the implementation of patient safety in the good category and 94.5% stated a high level of satisfaction. The results of statistical analysis using the Pearson Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship (p = 0.000) between patient safety implementation and patient satisfaction. This indicates that improving the quality of patient safety implementation can directly increase patient satisfaction during hospitalization. These findings emphasize the importance of consistent safety strategies and patient-centered nursing services. Hospitals are advised to continue to strengthen patient safety culture through regular training, a transparent incident reporting system, and oversight of standard operating procedures. In addition, management involvement in fostering a work climate that supports safety is needed. The use of information technology in safety reporting and monitoring can also speed up risk identification and follow-up. By prioritizing the principles of prudence and effective communication between medical personnel, the quality of service can be improved comprehensively. This study also implies that efforts to improve safety not only have an impact on reducing medical risks, but also on increasing patients' positive perceptions of hospital services. Periodic evaluations, patient education, and active involvement in medical decision-making are important factors in maintaining and improving the quality of safe, effective, and satisfactory health services.

Tax compliance refers to the behavior and actions of taxpayers in fulfilling their tax obligations in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. High tax compliance is crucial to ensuring the smooth flow of state funding, particularly in the motor vehicle sector. This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the influence of tax sanctions, tax socialization, and service quality on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance in Denpasar City. The research method used was accidental sampling, with a sample size of 100 respondents determined using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to motor vehicle taxpayers, and the data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that tax sanctions, tax socialization, and service quality have a positive influence on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance in Denpasar City. Specifically, the higher the public's understanding of tax sanctions and socialization conducted by the authorities, as well as the better the quality of service provided, the higher the level of taxpayer compliance in fulfilling their tax obligations. This study also shows a strong relationship between these variables in improving tax compliance. The theoretical implications of this study indicate that attribution theory and compliance theory can empirically support the idea that external factors such as sanctions and service quality, as well as educational processes through socialization, play a significant role in improving tax compliance. The practical implications of this study provide broader insights for researchers, the government, and related parties, and serve as a useful reference for stakeholders or future researchers interested in similar topics.

MSMEs play a strategic role in supporting the growth and stability of the national economy (Endra et al., 2024), especially in the culinary sector which continues to grow. However, a fundamental problem commonly experienced by MSMEs is the ability to create visually attractive and professional promotional elements. One example is BentoDay, a food business in West Jakarta, which still relies on simple visual promotions through social media without optimal content packaging. This activity aims to develop the digital promotional capacity of participants through program mentoring and training that focuses on creating logos and product catalogs using the Canva application, a digital tool used for easy-to-use visual design purposes that allows even beginners to create posters, banners and social media content (Akbar et al., n.d.). Initial observations, direct training, intensive mentoring, and evaluation of participants' design results are part of the mentoring activity approach. The results of the activity implementation illustrate that participants have the ability to independently produce promotional materials, such as business logos and product catalogs with more attractive and consistent designs. This training not only improves participants' design skills but also has a positive impact on the digital marketing strategy of culinary businesses. MSMEs can improve their competitiveness and increase sales by implementing better design. This approach demonstrates the importance of acquiring digital skills for MSMEs to strengthen their brand identity and expand their consumer reach (Andari, N., Sari, D.P., & Hidayat, 2025). Therefore, using Canva has proven useful for enhancing the competitiveness of MSME digital promotions.

WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging platforms, offering fast and simple communication. Among its active users are students from Islamic boarding schools (santri), including those involved in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, despite its convenience, many users lack awareness regarding digital safety and privacy, exposing them to cyber risks such as phishing, scams, and identity theft. In Nusukan, Surakarta, this issue is particularly relevant for santri who rely on WhatsApp for both academic and business communication. This community service initiative was conducted at Al-Mukminun Islamic Boarding School in Nusukan, Surakarta, with the aim of increasing awareness and understanding of safe WhatsApp usage among MSME santri. The program consisted of counseling sessions, which included lectures and interactive discussions tailored to the participants’ needs. Key topics included how to adjust privacy settings, identify suspicious links and messages, protect personal data, and recognize common cyber threats. Participants responded positively to the training. Feedback showed that 80% of them reported they would avoid clicking unknown links in messages. Another 80% stated they would refrain from sharing personal information with strangers. Furthermore, 80% expressed their commitment to regularly updating the WhatsApp application to ensure optimal security features are in place. This program successfully raised awareness and empowered santri with essential knowledge about digital communication safety. It highlights the importance of integrating communication psychology and practical digital literacy into community education to support secure online behavior for young entrepreneurs. Overall, this training shows that a contextual and applicable communication psychology approach is very effective in forming positive digital awareness and behavior in religious-based communities such as MSME students.
