Abstract

This study investigates the effect of a combination of manure and mycorrhiza on the quality and storability of tomatoes from the perspective of organic farmers in Lembang, utilizing a quantitative analysis with 140 samples. Data were collected using a Likert scale (1-5), and the analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that manure positively impacts fruit quality and storability, with a stronger effect on storability. Mycorrhiza had a more significant effect on fruit quality and also positively influenced storability. The study found that mycorrhiza is the more dominant factor in improving fruit quality, while manure plays a more significant role in enhancing storability. The findings provide important insights for organic farming practices in Lembang, suggesting that a combination of manure and mycorrhiza can effectively enhance both the quality and shelf life of tomatoes.

Abstract

The global palm oil industry sits at the nexus of economic growth and environmental sustainability, generating both substantial financial returns and significant ecological concerns. This study presents a bibliometric synthesis of scholarly literature on palm oil, with particular focus on the interplay between policy frameworks, profitability, and environmental outcomes. Using the Scopus database, a total of relevant publications from 2000 to 2024 were analyzed through VOSviewer software to identify trends in co-authorship, citation patterns, and keyword co-occurrence. The findings reveal that "palm oil" and "sustainable development" serve as thematic anchors linking diverse domains such as biofuel production, deforestation, land use change, and economic valuation. Temporal analysis indicates a thematic evolution from environmental critiques toward techno-economic innovation and governance mechanisms. Collaboration networks highlight Malaysia and Indonesia as dominant contributors, with growing international partnerships across Europe, North America, and Asia. Despite the increasing academic attention to sustainability, the study identifies gaps in policy evaluation and interdisciplinary integration. The discussion offers actionable insights and policy recommendations to bridge these gaps, emphasizing the need for holistic, evidence-based strategies that align economic development with environmental integrity in palm oil governance.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of easy access and sense of security on tourist satisfaction in the Bali coastal area. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 350 domestic and international tourists who responded to a structured questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results indicate that both easy access and sense of security significantly and positively impact tourist satisfaction. The coefficient of determination shows that these two variables explain of the variance in satisfaction. The model also demonstrated good reliability and predictive relevance. These findings suggest that enhancing accessibility infrastructure and ensuring visitor safety are key strategies for increasing satisfaction and encouraging return visits. Bali's tourism stakeholders should prioritize both transportation convenience and comprehensive safety measures to maintain competitiveness in the global tourism market.
