Introduction: There has been a notable rise in the popularity of K-pop endorsers within the landscape of Philippine advertising, influencing Filipino consumers' purchase intentions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the mediating effect of attitude toward a brand on the relationship between brand credibility, endorser credibility, and consumers' purchase intentions.

Methods: The participants of the study were Filipino internet service subscribers, and they were selected using purposive sampling technique. The approach used in this study was quantitative research and causal-predictive approach while the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to estimate the relationships of the proposed model.

Findings: The results showed that an endorser's credibility significantly influences consumers’ purchase intention and attitude towards a brand. On the other hand, the relationship between brand credibility and purchase intention is not supported. However, there is a significant relationship between brand credibility and attitude towards a brand. The relationship between attitudes towards a brand and purchase intention is also supported. The mediation analysis revealed the importance of attitude towards a brand which tremendously mediates the relationship between brand credibility and endorser’s credibility leading to purchase intention.

Originality: This study highlights the novel role of consumers' attitude as a mediator between endorser and brand credibility, shaping purchase intentions in the Philippine telecom industry through K-pop idol endorsements.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membongkar model permainan-kebenaran (truth-games) dari Penuntut Umum melalui komunikasi instrumental berbasis logika monolog guna mencapai kepentingannya dalam mempersalahkan Terdakwa—sebagai tujuan utama, dalam proses penegakan hukum pidana pada perkara Korupsi Tata Niaga PT. Timah. Diskursus validitas terhadap Surat Dakwaan—sebagai bagian dari tindakan Penuntutan, dalam proses pembuktian di depan persidangan, selalu dikonstruksikan berdasarkan keterpenuhan akan asas jelas, cermat, dan lengkap melalui Pasal 143 ayat (2) huruf b KUHAP, dengan ancaman Surat Dakwaan dinyatakan batal demi hukum. Asas Jelas, Cermat, dan Lengkap dipandang sebagai suatu parameter untuk mengukur bahwa telah muncul pemahaman dan keyakinan Penuntut Umum akan adanya suatu peristiwa pidana yang terjadi. Namun demikian, dalam kajian Ilmu Hukum yang bersifat normatif tersebut, tidak mampu melakukan teoretisasi terhadap strategi bahasa kekuasaan sebagai kapital simbolik yang bersifat subyektif dari kesadaran diri Penuntut Umum. Oleh karena itu, adalah penting untuk mengungkapkan tehnik komunikasi yang dikembangkan oleh Penuntut Umum dalam merasionalisasikan dakwaannya, dalam proses jawab menjawab guna mempertahankan pendapatnya melalui dialektika pada pemeriksaan Ahli Hukum Pidana. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis-normatif dengan pendekatan partisipatoris. Data yang digunakan dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur dan rekaman persidangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan (1) komunikasi Penuntut Umum bersifat instrumental; (2) perilaku generalisasi fakta; (3) menghindari kajian hubungan hukum dan subyek hukum; (4) terjadinya sesat pikir dalam penggunaan bahasa normatif sebagai strategi bahasa kekuasaan; dan (5) konstruksi strategi bahasa kekuasaan melalui dominasi penafsiran guna pemenuhan unsur kerugian keuangan negara sebagai representasi tindak pidana korupsi.

This study analyzes the legal protection and responsibilities for interns in Indonesia, particularly regarding stipends and working hours based on Indonesian labor laws. The legal uncertainty surrounding the protection of interns opens the potential for exploitation, an issue that has not been widely discussed in previous studies, especially in comparison with the legal system in Australia. Employing a normative juridical study method and a comparative analysis with the Australian legal system, this study reveals a significant gap between existing regulations and practices in the fields. This comparative approach provides a new perspective in building a more progressive legal framework to protect interns in Indonesia. The study findings highlight a substantial disparity between existing regulations and practical implementation regarding the protection of interns. Ambiguities in the regulations create loopholes for unfair practices, such as excessive working hours and inadequate wages for interns. Therefore, this study urges comprehensive legal reforms to promote fairer labor practices, improve welfare, and ensure justice for all interns. Key issues discussed include the lack of clear guidelines, inconsistent implementation regarding stipend calculations, and the flexibility of working hours, which opens up opportunities for intern exploitation. The study concludes that legal updates, especially in labor laws, are necessary, including specific provisions on work hour limits and minimum stipend standards to ensure adequate protection for interns and promote fair and decent work practices.




Penelitian ini menganalisis perlindungan hukum dan tanggung jawab bagi pekerja magang di Indonesia, khususnya terkait uang saku dan jam kerja berdasarkan undang-undang ketenagakerjaan Indonesia. Ketidakpastian hukum mengenai perlindungan pekerja magang, membuka potensi eksploitasi yang belum banyak dibahas dalam penelitian sebelumnya, khususnya dalam perbandingan dengan sistem hukum di Australia. Menggunakan metode penelitian hukum yuridis normatif dan perbandingan dengan sistem hukum Australia, penelitian ini mengungkap adanya celah signifikan antara regulasi yang ada dengan praktik di lapangan.

This study aims to analyze the reliability and performance of Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes using the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and Inherent Availability (IA) methods. The MTTR method is used to measure the average time required for repairs, while MTBF calculates the average time between failures. Meanwhile, the IA method assesses the inherent availability of the equipment based on the previous two parameters. The results indicate that some RTG units experience high MTTR, such as RTG035-12, which recorded a repair time of 124.15 hours in January, and RTG035-13 with 441.23 hours in February. On the other hand, RTG035-19 demonstrated more stable performance with low MTTR in several months. In terms of MTBF, RTG035-16 recorded the lowest value of 0 hours in July, indicating significant disruptions, whereas RTG035-12 exhibited the best performance with the highest MTBF of 614 hours in December. The IA analysis revealed that some RTGs had low values, such as RTG035-13, which only reached 0.312 in February, while RTG035-19 maintained values above 0.95 throughout the year, demonstrating high reliability. This study provides insights into the performance of RTG equipment at the Semarang Container Terminal (TPKS) and emphasizes the need for effective maintenance strategies to enhance operational reliability and efficiency.

This program involves various methods such as workshops, group discussions, and counseling sessions to provide knowledge on how to use social media in a healthy way. The program also offers students the opportunity to share experiences and develop skills in managing stress and improving their mental health. The results of this program show an increased awareness among students regarding the negative effects of social media and the importance of managing online time wisely. This program has also led to positive changes in students' mindset towards healthier social media use. It is hoped that the outcomes of this activity can make a positive contribution to improving students' mental health and cultivating more responsible social media habits. 

Digital transformation has driven companies to enhance supply chain efficiency and resilience through innovative technologies. However, challenges such as a lack of transparency, low efficiency, and risks of operational disruptions remain significant barriers in Supplier Relationship Management (SRM). This study aims to explore the role of blockchain technology in improving transparency, trust, and supply chain resilience. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with supply chain managers from three companies in Indonesia and supporting document analysis. The findings reveal that blockchain implementation enhances operational efficiency by up to 35%, reducing the average process cycle time from 10 days to 6 days. Additionally, transparency levels increased by 40%, reflected in the ability of supply chain participants to monitor information flow in real time. Trust among stakeholders also improved by 25%, attributed to encrypted data security and immutable transaction records. These findings confirm that blockchain strengthens supply chain resilience through three main dimensions: response, recovery, and adaptation. The contribution of this research lies in enriching the literature on the role of blockchain in SRM, particularly in the context of supply chain resilience. Furthermore, the results provide practical guidance for companies in designing blockchain implementation strategies to mitigate operational risks and enhance stakeholder collaboration
