Abstract

This study looks into how novel mechanical engineering solutions for electric bus technology in Jakarta could change the industry, with an emphasis on improving sustainability, efficiency, and performance. Quantitative data was gathered through technical inspections, stakeholder questionnaires, and real-time monitoring. According to the results, buses with regenerative braking systems, lightweight construction, and cutting-edge drivetrain technologies consume 15% less energy. A comparative investigation revealed a 12% boost in overall speed and responsiveness and a 20% improvement in braking efficiency. The environmental benefits were highlighted by the environmental impact evaluations, which showed a notable 25% reduction in particulate matter and emissions. Positive responses to surveys conducted among passengers and bus operators demonstrated the practical viability and user pleasure of these advances. Although they recognized the potential, city officials stressed the need for a thorough and gradual implementation strategy. According to the research, creative mechanical engineering solutions might completely transform Jakarta's urban transportation system and serve as a template for effective and sustainable mobility.

Abstract

Renal failure among minors in Indonesia has become a growing public health concern, with increasing evidence suggesting that dietary habits play a significant role in its development. This study investigates the influence of nutrition and diet on the causes of renal failure in minors, utilizing a quantitative analysis of 80 samples. Data were collected using a Likert scale (1 to 5) and analyzed with SPSS version 26. The results indicate significant positive correlations between the consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks, and the incidence of renal failure. Conversely, higher intake of fruits and vegetables was associated with a reduced risk of renal failure. Multiple regression analysis further confirmed the predictive power of these dietary factors, with processed foods and sugary drinks emerging as significant contributors to renal failure. The findings emphasize the need for targeted nutritional interventions and public health strategies to promote healthier eating habits among minors in Indonesia, aiming to reduce the incidence of renal failure and improve long-term health outcomes.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji efektivitas kebijakan kenaikan gaji guru ASN (Aparatur Sipil Negara) dan guru non-ASN (Non-Aparatur Sipil Negara) dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan tenaga pendidik di Indonesia dari sudut pandang mereka. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan lima informan dan dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak NVIVO. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun kebijakan tersebut berdampak positif terhadap stabilitas keuangan dan kepuasan kerja guru ASN, guru non-ASN menghadapi tantangan seperti gaji yang tidak adil, pencairan yang tidak teratur, dan tunjangan yang terbatas. Persepsi ketidaksetaraan antara guru ASN dan non-ASN muncul sebagai masalah yang signifikan, yang memengaruhi moral dan motivasi. Selain itu, kedua kelompok menyoroti tantangan implementasi, termasuk ketidakkonsistenan dan penundaan di tingkat daerah. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun kebijakan tersebut telah meningkatkan kesejahteraan guru sampai batas tertentu, mengatasi kesenjangan dan meningkatkan proses implementasi sangat penting untuk mencapai hasil yang adil dan berkelanjutan. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan yang berharga bagi para pembuat kebijakan yang bertujuan untuk menciptakan kebijakan kesejahteraan yang inklusif dan efektif bagi para pendidik.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi persepsi masyarakat terhadap rencana penghapusan sistem zonasi dalam Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru (PPDB), proses penerimaan siswa baru di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, data dikumpulkan dari 10 informan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak NVIVO. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya persepsi yang beragam mengenai sistem zonasi. Sementara beberapa informan memuji pendekatannya yang adil terhadap akses sekolah, yang lain mengkritik keterbatasannya, terutama terkait pilihan pendidikan. Sikap masyarakat terhadap penghapusan sistem zonasi juga terbagi; para pendukung berpendapat bahwa pilihan sekolah harus ditambah, sementara para penentang khawatir akan memperburuk ketidaksetaraan. Para peserta menyarankan sistem penerimaan siswa baru dan peningkatan kualitas pendidikan di semua sekolah sebagai alternatif. Studi ini menyoroti perlunya pendekatan yang seimbang dalam mereformasi proses PPDB untuk memastikan akses yang adil terhadap pendidikan bagi semua siswa.
