Abstract

This study investigates the impact of environmental uncertainty and sense of urgency on individual innovation in renewable energy startups in Bali. In dynamic and resource-constrained startup environments, the ability to innovate is critical for survival and competitiveness. A quantitative approach was employed, surveying 130 respondents from various renewable energy startups using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) to test hypothesized relationships. The results indicate that both environmental uncertainty (β = 0.342, p < 0.001) and sense of urgency (β = 0.540, p < 0.001) significantly influence individual innovation. Furthermore, sense of urgency partially mediates the effect of environmental uncertainty on innovation, highlighting its role as a psychological catalyst that translates external pressures into actionable innovative behaviors. The findings provide theoretical contributions by integrating contingency theory and self-determination theory, and offer practical implications for startup managers and policymakers seeking to foster innovation in uncertain renewable energy markets.

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.
