Abstract

The rapid rise of social media has shifted marketing strategies toward influencer-driven promotions, particularly for high-involvement products like sport motorcycles. This study explores how different traits of social media influencers affect people’s intention to buy the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25RR in Indonesia, with credibility playing a mediating role. The research aims to examine the influence of Social Media Influencer Marketing (SMIs) on purchase intention, using credibility as an intervening variable. The model includes three constructs: SMIs (trustworthiness, likability, expertise, and information quality), credibility, and purchase intention. A pilot test was conducted with 30 respondents who were familiar with both the product and the influencer, Harald Arkan. The instrument, consisting of 3 variables and 20 items, was analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed that all items met the validity threshold (CITC > 0.3) and reliability standard (Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.7). Therefore, the instrument is considered valid and reliable for use in the main study.

Abstract

In Palembang’s increasingly competitive food and beverage (F&B) industry, customer retention has become a pressing challenge for businesses like Arunika Restaurant. Despite serving over 1,600 customers monthly, the restaurant faces fluctuating sales and limited product differentiation in a market where digital engagement plays a critical role. This study investigates the influence of service quality, product quality, and brand image on repurchase intention, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable. A pilot test was conducted with 30 Arunika customers using a structured questionnaire distributed via face-to-face interactions and completed through Google Forms. The data were analyzed using SPSS to assess the instrument’s validity and reliability. All items demonstrated Corrected Item Total Correlation (CITC) values above 0.3 and Cronbach’s Alpha values exceeding 0.7 (Indrawati, 2015). Furthermore, loading factors surpassed 0.70, AVE values exceeded 0.50, and Composite Reliability (CR) values ranged from 0.871 to 0.909, confirming strong internal consistency and convergent validity (Hair et al., 2022). These results support the instrument’s suitability for use in further analysis of repurchase behavior in the F&B sector.

Abstract

Financial literacy enables MSMEs to adopt financial technology, manage risks effectively, and adapt to market changes, increasing their competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market, especially in the digital era. This study aims to measure the influence of financial literacy, financial inclusion, and financial capital on business sustainability in the modern-based traditional market street vendor sector in Kuantan. This study uses a quantitative approach where primary data is collected through surveys and questionnaires from 77 respondents. Partial Least Square (PLS) statistical techniques are used to process the data. The results confirm the significant influence of financial literacy on business sustainability, both directly and indirectly through financial capital. Furthermore, there is an insignificant influence on business sustainability variables through financial capital. Therefore, there is an influence originating from other variables outside the study. The results also show that the intervening variables here have a significant influence on business sustainability variables. Therefore, it can be concluded that the higher the financial literacy of traditional market street vendors, the better the business sustainability will be.

Abstract

Short-circuit faults are a type of disturbance that impedes the transmission of electrical energy. To protect equipment from the impact of such faults, short-circuit analysis is conducted. In this study, the magnitudes of phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground short-circuit currents are calculated, along with the determination of overcurrent relay and circuit breaker ratings on the distribution network of PT PLN Saparua Rayon, Maluku. The analysis is carried out using ETAP software on generator busbars and feeders at various fault locations. PT PLN (Persero) Saparua Rayon operates four feeders: Saparua, Pohar, Tenggara (Southeast), and Hatawano. Simulation results show that the Saparua feeder has the highest fault current at bus 6 under an L-L-G fault condition, while the Tenggara, Hatawano, and Pohar feeders exhibit their highest fault currents at the generator bus under an L-G fault. It is evident that the L-L-G (double line-to-ground) fault consistently generates the highest short-circuit current when compared to other types of faults such as L-L (line-to-line) and three-phase faults. This type of fault involves a direct connection between two phases and the ground, resulting in a larger fault current due to lower overall impedance at the fault point. Furthermore, it was observed that the magnitude of the short-circuit current decreases progressively with increasing distance from the power source. This behavior is primarily due to the increase in line impedance along the distribution path, which naturally limits the fault current as it travels farther from the generation point. In summary, the farther the location of the fault from the generator, the lower the resulting short-circuit current, which highlights the critical role of impedance in fault current behavior across the distribution network.
