The transportation and logistics sector plays a vital role in supporting national economic growth. This study aims to analyze the effect of inflation and sales growth on the financial performance of transportation and logistics companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2014–2024. The research method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis. The research sample consists of 7 companies selected through purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 77 observations. Financial performance is measured using the return on asset (ROA) indicator, while inflation and sales growth data are obtained from official sources. The results of the partial test indicate that inflation does not significantly affect financial performance, while sales growth has a positive and significant impact. These findings indicate that companies in this sector are able to manage the impact of inflation efficiently, but sales growth remains the primary factor driving profitability. The coefficient of determination shows that 28.8% of the variation in financial performance can be explained by inflation and sales growth. The implications of these research results highlight the importance of sales growth strategies to support financial performance, as well as the need for efficient management in addressing macroeconomic challenges such as inflation. This study provides empirical contributions to managerial decision-making in the transportation and logistics industry, while also filling a research gap in this sector during the post-pandemic period.

Grammar learning is often considered boring and less interesting by students because the presentation is monotonous and oriented towards memorization. This has an impact on low motivation and student learning outcomes in understanding grammar. An approach is needed that can change the way grammar material is delivered to be more fun and contextual. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of a fun grammar teaching method in improving student learning outcomes and motivation. The study also aims to identify students' perceptions of the learning approach. The study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups, namely the experimental and control, each consisting of 30 students. Data were collected through pre-test, post-test, and student perception questionnaires, and analyzed using SPSS. The experimental group showed a statistically significant increase in grammar learning outcomes compared to the control group. The questionnaire showed that students felt happier, more active, and more motivated in learning grammar with a fun method. The results of the correlation test also showed a strong relationship between students' positive perceptions and increased learning outcomes. The fun grammar teaching method has been proven to be effective in improving student learning outcomes and forming positive learning attitudes. This study offers an innovative approach to grammar teaching based on students' experiences, activities, and emotional involvement.

This study aims to examine the level of participation of Catholic Youth (OMK) in spiritual activities, identify the factors contributing to their low involvement, and formulate strategies that parents can implement to foster OMK's enthusiasm for church engagement. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, involving eight informants consisting of active OMK, inactive OMK, and their respective parents. Data were collected through interviews and observations, and analyzed in three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification.The findings reveal that active OMK demonstrate strong attendance at Mass, active involvement in youth leadership roles, and stable spiritual growth. In contrast, inactive OMK show low participation due to a lack of internal motivation and weak parental support. Active parents have a positive influence through their role modeling, shared prayer, and open communication about faith.In conclusion, parental involvement plays a critical role in shaping OMK's participation and spiritual development. A consistent approach to family-based spiritual formation is essential to encourage greater youth involvement in the life of the Church.

Hypertension is a critical health indicator that reflects an individual's cardiovascular condition. This study aims to analyze risk factors associated with hypertension among seafarers in Semarang, focusing on age, smoking habits, and noise exposure. Using a cross-sectional design, the study involved 43 seafarers from three ships at Tanjung Mas Port. Data were collected through questionnaires and blood pressure measurements using a sphygmomanometer, while noise exposure was measured with a sound level meter. The results showed a significant association between age and blood pressure, with individuals over 30 years of age having higher levels of prehypertension and hypertension (p = 0.021). Conversely, no significant correlation was found between smoking habits (p = 0.880) or noise exposure (p = 0.290) and blood pressure levels. These results suggest that while age is a significant risk factor for hypertension, smoking and noise exposure may not have a direct impact. This study highlights the need for comprehensive health monitoring and interventions targeting lifestyle changes among seafarers to reduce the risk of hypertension and improve overall health and safety in the maritime work environment.

This study aims to analyze the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are utilized by government institutions and companies in public relations (PR) practices, and to relate these findings to crisis management strategies. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through surveys and interviews involving 23 institutions, consisting of 19 government agencies and 4 private companies. The results show that ChatGPT is the most widely used AI tool (56%), followed by Gemini (34%) and QuillBot (14%). Most other tools showed low usage rates, with a high percentage falling under the “unknown” category, indicating limited information and awareness regarding AI technologies within PR environments. These findings have strategic implications in the context of crisis management, as the speed and accuracy of information dissemination are highly dependent on technological adaptability. The integration of AI tools into public communication systems can serve as both a preventive and responsive solution to reputational and operational crises. Therefore, policies are needed to enhance digital literacy and provide technical training on AI utilization for PR practitioners in both the public and private sectors.

This study aims to analyze the role of management accounting in supporting strategic decision making at PT ABC, a manufacturing company. Management accounting is seen as an important tool in providing relevant financial and non-financial information for planning, controlling, and evaluating performance (Langfield-Smith, 2008). The research method used is a case study with a qualitative approach, where data is collected through in-depth interviews with management and accounting staff, as well as analysis of internal company documents. The results of the study indicate that management accounting plays an important role in providing production cost information, profitability analysis, and performance reports, which are the basis for management in making strategic decisions such as determining selling prices, allocating resources, and planning production capacity (Chenhall & Moers, 2015). However, the study also identified several challenges, such as limitations in information systems and data integration between departments. The implication of this study is the need to improve management information systems and staff training to maximize the benefits of management accounting in strategic decision making. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of more effective management accounting practices in manufacturing companies (Hall, 2010).
