Abstract

Deteksi dini serangan hama merupakan langkah krusial dalam mempertahankan fungsi ekologis dan kenyamanan sosial hutan kota. Penelitian ini menggabungkan pendekatan filsafat sains—ontologis, epistemologis, dan aksiologis—dengan analisis empiris untuk merancang sistem deteksi dini serangan hama pada Hutan Kota Pagutan, Mataram. Metode yang digunakan meliputi tinjauan literatur terstruktur (Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, IEEE Xplore, dan lainnya) terhadap studi 2023–2025, analisis model ontologi untuk representasi entitas (pohon, hama, gejala, parameter lingkungan), serta adaptasi temuan empiris penginderaan jauh (RDVI/NDVI dan UAV) menjadi skenario deteksi pada konteks lokal. Hasil studi literatur menunjukkan bahwa indikator spektral multitemporal mampu mendeteksi stres pra-visual dengan akurasi tinggi (> 90%) dan bahwa integrasi ontologi meningkatkan interoperabilitas data untuk dukungan keputusan. Simulasi adaptasi data menaksir sekitar 20–30% pohon berisiko mengalami infestasi musiman di Pagutan bila tanpa intervensi; penerapan sistem peringatan dini diperkirakan menurunkan tingkat kerusakan secara signifikan dan mempertahankan kenyamanan pengunjung. Implikasi penelitian ini adalah kerangka konseptual dan teknis yang memungkinkan pemantauan berkelanjutan, prioritas tindakan manajerial, serta penilaian nilai sosial dari pemeliharaan kesehatan pohon. Rekomendasi meliputi penerapan pemantauan multitemporal berbasis satelit/UAV, pengembangan ontologi domain lokal, dan partisipasi masyarakat sebagai bagian dari strategi aksiologis. Ontological, Epistemological, and Axiological Analysis with a Case Study of Mataram City Forest Abstract Early detection of pest attacks is essential for maintaining the ecological performance and social comfort of urban forests. This study integrates philosophical perspectives—ontology, epistemology, and axiology—with empirical evidence to design an early-warning framework for pest detection in the Pagutan Urban Forest, Mataram, Indonesia. A structured literature review was conducted using major academic databases (Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and IEEE Xplore) focusing on studies published between 2023 and 2025. An ontological model was developed to represent key entities such as tree species, pests, symptoms, and environmental parameters, while remote-sensing findings (RDVI/NDVI and UAV imaging) were adapted into a conceptual early-detection scenario applicable to local conditions. Results indicate that multispectral indicators are capable of identifying pre-visual stress with high accuracy (>90%). Ontology-based integration also enhances data interoperability and supports decision-making across monitoring systems. Simulated interpretation of empirical findings suggests that 20–30% of trees may face seasonal infestation risk in Pagutan without timely intervention. The proposed framework provides a foundation for continuous monitoring, management prioritization, and assessment of social values associated with maintaining healthy urban trees. Key recommendations include the adoption of multitemporal satellite/UAV monitoring, the development of localized domain ontologies, and community participation as an axiological component of urban-forest stewardship.

Abstract

Diskursus mengenai relasi antara pengetahuan lokal dan sains modern semakin menempati posisi penting dalam kajian lingkungan dan keberlanjutan. Pengetahuan ekologis berbasis kearifan lokal tidak lagi dipahami semata sebagai praktik budaya, melainkan sebagai sistem epistemik yang memiliki rasionalitas, validitas kontekstual, dan kapasitas adaptif yang tinggi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk meninjau secara kritis bagaimana epistemologi lokal diposisikan dalam literatur ilmiah serta bagaimana relasinya dengan sains modern, dengan refleksi konseptual pada kearifan lokal Tambora. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan review literatur naratif-kritis terhadap jurnal internasional dan nasional bereputasi yang membahas pengetahuan ekologis lokal, epistemologi sains, dan pengelolaan lingkungan berkelanjutan. Hasil review menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pengetahuan lokal semakin diakui dalam praktik kebijakan dan pengelolaan sumber daya alam, posisinya masih sering direduksi secara instrumental dan belum sepenuhnya diakui sebagai sumber epistemik yang setara dengan sains modern. Literatur mutakhir menekankan pentingnya pluralisme epistemologis, keadilan epistemik, dan pendekatan berbasis tempat dalam memahami kompleksitas sistem sosial–ekologis. Dalam konteks Tambora, epistemologi lokal berpotensi memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan yang lebih kontekstual, relasional, dan berorientasi pada keberlanjutan. Local Epistemology and Modern Science: a Critical Philosophy of Science Review of Ecological Knowledge Based on Tambora Local Wisdom Abstract The relationship between local knowledge and modern science has become an increasingly important topic in environmental and sustainability studies. Local ecological knowledge grounded in indigenous and local wisdom is no longer understood merely as cultural practice, but as an epistemic system with its own rationality, contextual validity, and adaptive capacity. This article aims to critically review how local epistemologies are positioned within scientific literature and how they relate to modern science, with a conceptual reflection on the local wisdom of the Tambora region. The study employs a critical narrative literature review of reputable international and national journals addressing local ecological knowledge, epistemology of science, and sustainable environmental management. The review findings indicate that although local knowledge is increasingly acknowledged in environmental governance and resource management practices, it is often incorporated instrumentally and not fully recognized as an autonomous epistemic source equivalent to modern science. Recent literature emphasizes the importance of epistemological pluralism, epistemic justice, and place-based approaches for understanding the complexity of social–ecological systems. In the context of Tambora, local epistemology demonstrates strong potential to contribute to the development of scientific knowledge that is more contextual, relational, and sustainability-oriented. This review contributes to contemporary philosophy of science by reinforcing the legitimacy of local knowledge as an integral component of inclusive and reflexive knowledge production.

Abstract

Stres akademik pada siswa SMA sering dipicu ketidaksesuaian tuntutan belajar dengan kemampuan individu, dengan faktor psikososial sebagai prediktor utama. Penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan kecerdasan emosional, motivasi belajar, dan dukungan keluarga terhadap terjadinya stres akademik pada siswa SMA Negeri 4 Mataram. Menggunakan desain observasional analitik cross-sectional, sampel 99 siswa kelas X-XII diambil melalui proportionate stratified random sampling dari populasi 914 siswa. Instrumen terdiri dari Student Academic Stress Scale (SASS, 20 item, α=0,904), Student Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (SEIQ, 8 item, α=0,880), Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ, 31 item motivasi, α=0,93), dan Perceived Social Support from Family (PSS-Fa, 20 item, α = 0,752). Analisis univariat menggunakan frekuensi/persentase, bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square (SPSS 23, p < 0,05). Sebagian besar responden mengalami stres akademik rendah (54 responden, 54,5%), kecerdasan emosional tinggi (60 responden, 60,6%), motivasi belajar tinggi (50 responden, 50,5%), dan dukungan keluarga baik (48 responden, 48,5%). Terdapat hubungan signifikan kecerdasan emosional (p = 0,002), motivasi belajar (p = 0,013), dan dukungan keluarga (p=0,001) dengan stres akademik. Dukungan keluarga berperan sebagai faktor protektif terkuat terhadap stres akademik siswa SMA. The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Learning Motivation and Family Support with Academic Stress of Students at Mataram 4 State Senior High School Abstract Academic stress among high school students often arises from the mismatch between academic demands and individual capabilities, with psychosocial factors as primary predictors. This study analyzed the relationship between emotional intelligence, learning motivation, and family support with the occurrence of academic stress among students of SMA Negeri 4 Mataram. Employing an analytic observational cross-sectional design, a sample of 99 students from grades X-XII was selected via proportionate stratified random sampling from a population of 914 students. Validated instruments included Student Academic Stress Scale (SASS, 20 items, α=0.904), Student Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (SEIQ, 8 items, α=0.880), Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ motivation subscale, 31 items, α=0.93), and Perceived Social Support from Family (PSS-Fa, 20 items, α=0.752). Univariate analysis used frequency/percentage distributions, while bivariate analysis employed Chi-Square test (SPSS 23, p<0.05). Most respondents experienced low academic stress (54 respondents, 54.5%), high emotional intelligence (60 respondents, 60.6%), high learning motivation (50 respondents, 50.5%), and good family support (48 respondents, 48.5%). Significant relationships were found between emotional intelligence (p=0.002), learning motivation (p=0.013), and family support (p=0.001) with academic stress. Family support emerged as the strongest protective factor against academic stress among high school students.

Abstract

Swamedikasi antibiotik merupakan salah satu penyebab meningkatnya resistensi antimikroba secara global. Mahasiswa kedokteran memiliki dasar pengetahuan farmakologi, praktik penggunaan antibiotik yang tidak rasional masih dapat terjadi akibat kemudahan akses dan kepercayaan diri berlebih dalam melakukan diagnosis mandiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi swamedikasi antibiotik, karakteristik responden, jenis antibiotik yang dikonsumsi serta hubungan tingkat pengetahuan, riwayat pengobatan, dan aksesibilitas antibiotik dengan perilaku swamedikasi pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Islam Al-Azhar. Penelitian ini menggunakan observasional analitik dengan desain potong lintang pada September 2025 melibatkan 84 mahasiswa dari angkatan 2022–2024 yang dipilih melalui proportionate stratified random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner daring dan dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi-square (α = 0,05). Sebanyak 39 responden (46,4%) memiliki riwayat swamedikasi antibiotik dalam tiga tahun terakhir, dengan amoksisilin sebagai antibiotik yang paling banyak digunakan (69,5%). Sebagian besar responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang baik (72,6%) dan perilaku swamedikasi yang baik (66,7%). Analisis bivariat menunjukkan adanya hubungan signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan (p < 0,001) dan aksesibilitas antibiotik (p = 0,002; PR = 2,75; 95% CI: 1,6–4,7) dengan perilaku swamedikasi antibiotik. Namun, riwayat pengobatan tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan perilaku swamedikasi (p = 0,260). Pengetahuan yang tinggi dan keterbatasan akses antibiotik berperan dalam mendorong perilaku swamedikasi yang lebih rasional. The Association of Knowledge Level, Treatment History, and Antibiotic Accessibility with Antibiotic Self-Medication Behavior among Medical Students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam Al-Azhar Abstract Antibiotic self-medication is one of the contributors to the global increase in antimicrobial resistance. Although medical students have a basic understanding of pharmacology, irrational antibiotic use may still occur due to easy access to antibiotics and excessive confidence in making self-diagnoses. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of antibiotic self-medication, respondent characteristics, types of antibiotics used, and the association between knowledge level, treatment history, and antibiotic accessibility with self-medication behavior among students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam Al-Azhar. This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach in September 2025, involving 84 students from the 2022–2024 cohorts selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using an online questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test (α = 0.05). A total of 39 respondents (46.4%) had a history of antibiotic self-medication within the previous three years, with amoxicillin being the most commonly used antibiotic (69.5%). Most respondents had a good level of knowledge (72.6%) and good self-medication behavior (66.7%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between knowledge level (p < 0.001) and antibiotic accessibility (p = 0.002; PR = 2.75; 95% CI: 1.6–4.7) with antibiotic self-medication behavior. However, treatment history was not significantly associated with self-medication behavior (p = 0.260). Higher knowledge and limited access to antibiotics were associated with more rational antibiotic self-medication behavior.

Abstract

This study analyzes the technical, financial, and social feasibility of a 3 MWp on-grid Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FPV) extension planned for the ash pond area of the Banten 3 Lontar coal-fired power plant. The objective is to evaluate its contribution to reducing internal power consumption, assess economic performance, and estimate social benefits using the Social Return on Investment (SROI) approach. Methods include PVsyst simulation, financial analysis (NPV, IRR, Net B/C, Discounted Payback Period, and LCOE), and scenario-based SROI evaluation. Results show annual energy production of 4,590,668 kWh, contributing only 1.36% of total auxiliary demand, indicating a complementary role and implying that approximately 227 MWp would be required for full substitution. Financially, the project is infeasible, with a negative NPV, IRR below the 10% discount rate, Net B/C <1, LCOE higher than coal, and payback exceeding 25 years, based on assumptions including a 10% discount rate, Rp 786.88/kWh tariff, and CAPEX of $889.65/kWp. The SROI is 0.63 under the base scenario, increasing to 1.06 without coal subsidies and 1.29 with international carbon pricing, highlighting the importance of policy. This SROI represents an ex-ante evaluation of potential social value.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh gaya kepemimpinan, motivasi, dan budaya organisasi terhadap kinerja pegawai Perumda Air Minum Tugu Tirta Kota Malang. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fenomena capaian Key Performance Indicator (KPI) pegawai yang berada pada kategori “Baik Sekali” meskipun masih terdapat tingkat keterlambatan dan ketidakhadiran, yang mengindikasikan bahwa kinerja dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain selain kedisiplinan kehadiran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei. Populasi penelitian meliputi seluruh pegawai tetap sebanyak 223 orang, dengan sampel berjumlah 144 responden yang ditentukan menggunakan teknik proportionate stratified random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan dianalisis menggunakan metode Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial, budaya organisasi berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai. Sebaliknya, gaya kepemimpinan dan motivasi tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai karena faktor-faktor tersebut dianggap telah terpenuhi secara institusional dan menjadi norma standar. Namun, secara simultan, gaya kepemimpinan, motivasi, dan budaya organisasi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan manajemen untuk memprioritaskan penguatan budaya organisasi sebagai strategi utama dalam mempertahankan dan meningkatkan kinerja pegawai secara berkelanjutan. The Influence of Leadership Style, Motivation, and Organizational Culture on the Performance of Employees at Perumda Air Minum Tugu Tirta Malang City Abstract This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style, motivation, and organizational culture on employee performance at Perumda Air Minum Tugu Tirta Kota Malang. This research is motivated by the phenomenon of employee Key Performance Indicator (KPI) achievements falling into the "Very Good" category despite the persistence of tardiness and absenteeism, indicating that performance is influenced by factors other than attendance discipline. This study employs a quantitative approach utilizing a survey method. The population comprises all 223 permanent employees, with a sample of 144 respondents selected using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results indicate that, partially, organizational culture exerts a positive and significant influence on employee performance. Conversely, leadership style and motivation do not significantly affect employee performance, as these factors are perceived as institutionally fulfilled and have become standard norms. However, simultaneously, leadership style, motivation, and organizational culture significantly influence employee performance. This study recommends that management prioritize the strengthening of organizational culture as a primary strategy for sustaining and enhancing employee performance.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran dan upaya Pemerintah Kabupaten Bengkulu Utara dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan ibadah haji. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Informan penelitian terdiri dari pejabat Bagian Kesejahteraan Rakyat, pihak Kantor Kementerian Agama Kabupaten Bengkulu Utara, serta jamaah haji. Analisis kualitas pelayanan dilakukan dengan memadukan kerangka peran pemerintah (regulator, dinamisator, fasilitator, dan katalisator) serta dimensi Hajjsequal yang meliputi health, guidance, accommodation, transportation, dan facilities. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemerintah daerah menjalankan perannya sebagai regulator melalui penyusunan kebijakan teknis dan pembentukan kepanitiaan manasik haji. Sebagai dinamisator, pemerintah menggerakkan kesiapan jamaah melalui pelaksanaan manasik yang terstruktur. Sebagai fasilitator, pemerintah menyediakan dukungan sarana dan prasarana, termasuk bantuan transportasi dan identitas daerah bagi jamaah. Sebagai katalisator, pemerintah membangun koordinasi lintas sektor dengan instansi terkait guna mendukung kelancaran pelayanan. Pada dimensi kualitas layanan, aspek guidance dan facilities tergolong baik, sedangkan aspek health dan accommodation masih memerlukan penguatan. Upaya peningkatan kualitas pelayanan dilakukan pada dataran input, proses, dan output, yang meliputi penguatan sumber daya manusia, pelaksanaan pelayanan yang terkoordinasi, serta hasil pelayanan yang dirasakan langsung oleh jamaah. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi analisis peran pemerintah daerah dengan dimensi kualitas layanan haji berbasis Hajjsequal dalam konteks pemerintah kabupaten. Secara keseluruhan, Pemerintah Kabupaten Bengkulu Utara telah menunjukkan komitmen dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan ibadah haji, meskipun penguatan regulasi daerah yang lebih komprehensif masih diperlukan untuk mendukung keberlanjutan pelayanan. The Role and Efforts of the Government in Improving the Quality of Hajj Service Delivery in Bengkulu Utara Regency Abstract This study aims to analyze the role and efforts of the North Bengkulu Regency Government in improving the quality of hajj services. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Research informants consisted of officials from the Public Welfare Division, representatives of the Ministry of Religious Affairs Office of North Bengkulu Regency, and hajj pilgrims. Service quality analysis was conducted by integrating the government role framework (regulator, dynamizer, facilitator, and catalyst) with the Hajjsequal dimensions, namely health, guidance, accommodation, transportation, and facilities. The findings show that the local government performed its role as a regulator through technical policy formulation and the establishment of hajj guidance committees. As a dynamizer, the government enhanced pilgrims’ readiness through structured hajj guidance programs. As a facilitator, it provided supporting facilities and infrastructure, including transportation assistance and regional identity attributes for pilgrims. As a catalyst, the government built cross-sectoral coordination with related institutions to support smooth service delivery. In terms of service quality, the guidance and facilities dimensions were relatively strong, while the health and accommodation dimensions still require improvement. Efforts to improve service quality were carried out at the input, process, and output levels, including human resource strengthening, coordinated service implementation, and service outcomes directly perceived by pilgrims. The novelty of this study lies in integrating the local government role framework with Hajj service quality dimensions based on Hajjsequal in the context of district-level governance. Overall, the North Bengkulu Regency Government has demonstrated commitment to improving the quality of hajj services, although stronger local regulations are still needed to ensure service sustainability.

Abstract

The preparation of the Regional Government Implementation Report (LPPD) is a mandatory obligation of local governments as a form of accountability to the central government for the implementation of regional autonomy and governance during one fiscal year, while also functioning as an instrument for performance evaluation, transparency, accountability, and development planning. However, studies on LPPD have generally emphasized regulatory compliance and administrative procedures, with limited attention to how leadership, coordination, staff competence, and digital systems interact in shaping reporting success at the local level. This study aims to analyze the success of the 2024 Kepahiang Regency LPPD preparation based on timeliness of submission, completeness of data, accuracy of performance indicators, coordination among Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPDs), and compliance with technical guidelines. The Research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using interviews, observations, and documentation review of LPPD-related records. The findings show that the 2024 Kepahiang Regency LPPD was submitted on schedule, supported by complete data contributions from relevant OPDs and the use of the SILPPD digital reporting system. Regular coordination meetings, leadership monitoring, and the experience of reporting staff were identified as important factors supporting timely and accurate preparation. Nevertheless, several practical challenges remained, including differences in data interpretation among OPDs, uneven technical capacity, and the need for continuous adaptation to system updates. These findings indicate that successful LPPD preparation should not be viewed merely as procedural compliance, but as the result of interaction between organizational leadership, institutional collaboration, administrative competence, and digital governance support. This study contributes to the literature by offering an integrated perspective on LPPD success and by distinguishing between administrative success, reflected in timeliness and completeness, and substantive success, reflected in the use of reports for governance improvement, policy learning, and better public service management outcomes.
