Abstract

Indonesia's humanitarian assistance to Vanuatu has increased significantly since 2016, with a value of around US$5.8 million in 2022. The assistance is realized through natural disaster response, the construction of health facilities, and capacity building programs, and is positioned as part of Indonesia's public diplomacy efforts to reduce international pressure related to the Papua issue. However, this increase in the intensity of humanitarian aid was not followed by a significant change in public perception or political attitudes in Vanuatu. Survey data shows that about 68 percent of Vanuatu people still support Papuan independence, while digital campaigns such as #FreeWestPapua with more than five million interactions continue to reinforce the pro-independence narrative in transnational public spaces. At the government level, Vanuatu has consistently raised the issue of Papua in various international forums, reflecting the gap between Indonesia's soft power efforts and the political results achieved. This study uses a single qualitative case study design with a time span of 2016–2023, through document analysis, tracing of humanitarian aid processes, media and social media content analysis, and limited observation. The theoretical framework of this research integrates Joseph Nye's concept of soft power and "new" public diplomacy (Melissen; Zaharna) with Hans Morgenthau's classical realism perspective on national interests, in order to explain the dynamics of persuasion as well as political resistance. The findings of the study show that humanitarian aid alone is not enough to change the deep-rooted political preferences related to the Papuan issue. The effectiveness of aid can only be increased if it is designed based on local needs, culturally resonant and integrated into a coherent, long-term, and collaborative cross-actor public diplomacy strategy.

Abstract

The slippery condition of the mining road on the Pit to ROM Pit Basalt PPA hauling line is one of the main obstacles to achieving production targets and ensuring work safety. During the January–June 2025 period, the year-to-date slippery value on the Pit to ROM road exceeded the company's standard threshold, reaching an average of 243% or 1.83 hours per rainy event. This high value resulted from limitations in hard materials for road layering, soil conditions prone to slipperiness, suboptimal road geometry, and inadequate drainage systems. The impacts included decreased effective working hours for transportation equipment, increased unsafe conditions, and lost revenue from basalt loading activities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of crusher reject material as an alternative for road layering to control slippery conditions in the Pit to ROM hauling area. It is an applied improvement study, problem-solving oriented, using the Quality Control Project (QCP) approach. The analysis employed quantitative and qualitative methods through before–after comparisons, supported by field observations and technical evaluations of the mining road conditions. The results show that layering with crusher reject material, supported by road geometry improvements and drainage normalization, significantly reduced slippery duration, increased effective working hours for hauler units, and generated revenue gains of Rp460,430,676. This study implies that crusher reject material offers an effective, safe, and economical technical solution for sustainable mining road management.

Abstract

White crystal sugar is a strategic commodity within Indonesia’s national food security system, with consumption steadily increasing across both household and industrial sectors. However, domestic production has not kept pace with demand, resulting in supply deficits that generate import dependence, price volatility, and structural vulnerability within the sugar industry. Challenges in the downstream sector further hinder national food security. The sugar industry’s supply chain faces persistent inefficiencies in distribution, price instability, trader dominance, and limited logistics infrastructure. A key issue lies in low factory productivity stemming from operational inefficiencies. Government policies, including Minister of Industry Regulation No. 47/2024, require strong stakeholder support, particularly from PT X, a state-owned agroindustry subsidiary. This study identifies strategies for PT X to improve productivity and optimize resource utilization in its sugar factories. Using an integrated Delphi–DEMATEL–ANP approach, the analysis identified seven priority strategies, with two ranking highest in the supermatrix limit, followed by milling process optimization, production–marketing coordination, internal distribution system enhancement, facility layout planning, and machine maintenance and re-layout. Sensitivity tests conducted at weight variations of 5%, 10%, 20%, and 30% confirmed the stability of strategy rankings, demonstrating robustness and systematic consistency. The findings highlight that the most adaptive and applicable productivity improvement strategy for PT X is one that strengthens its overall operational foundation. This approach has the potential to enhance internal efficiency while increasing the company’s contribution to achieving national sugar self-sufficiency.

Abstract

The research aims to test and analyze the effect of the investment opportunity set, financial distress, and litigation risk on accounting conservatism. This form of research uses quantitative methods with statistical tools like Eviews12. The population of this study were all infrastructure sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, totaling 69 companies. The sampling method used purposive sampling, which amounted to 46 companies. Data analysis techniques in the form of descriptive statistics, model selection, classical assumption tests, panel regression analysis, and hypothesis testing results showed that investment opportunity set, financial distress, and litigation risk have a positive and significant effect on accounting conservatism in the infrastructure sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The adjusted R square results show a value of 27.29%, while the remaining 72.71% is explained by other independent variable factors that affect accounting conservatism. In short, it can be concluded that the higher the IOS, financial distress condition, and litigation risk, the higher the level of accounting conservatism applied by infrastructure companies. This research provides practical implications for company management, investors, and regulators in assessing financial reporting practices in the infrastructure sector.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of social media agility on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia, with digital literacy and environmental dynamism serving as moderating variables. In an increasingly dynamic digital business environment, SMEs are required to respond quickly and flexibly to market changes, customer interactions, and competitive pressures through the effective use of social media. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method, with data collected from SME owners and managers across various sectors in Indonesia. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to assess the direct and moderating relationships among variables. The findings indicate that social media agility has a significant positive effect on SME performance. Furthermore, digital literacy strengthens the relationship between social media agility and SME performance, suggesting that SMEs with higher levels of digital literacy are better able to leverage social media agility to enhance business outcomes. Environmental dynamism is also found to moderate this relationship, wherein higher levels of environmental uncertainty amplify the importance of social media agility in improving SME performance. These results highlight the critical role of social media agility as a strategic capability for SMEs, particularly when supported by adequate digital literacy and adaptability to dynamic environmental conditions. The study contributes to the literature on digital transformation and SME performance by providing empirical evidence from an emerging economy context.

Abstract

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of extreme hydrometeorological events, particularly floods, which have the potential to disrupt the reliability of the electricity system in West Kalimantan. This study aims to examine historical rainfall conditions and projections until 2060, map flood risk in the Kapuas watershed, and assess its impact on the electricity system. Rainfall analysis was conducted using CMIP6 climate projection data based on the SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios for the 2026–2060 period. Flood risk mapping was carried out spatially using the Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) approach, incorporating parameters such as rainfall, land slope, land cover, and soil texture. Furthermore, flood risk maps were overlaid with transmission infrastructure and substations in the Kapuas watershed to identify vulnerability levels. The results show that the Kapuas watershed will remain in the very wet climate category until 2060, with more than 300 rainy days per year and an increasing tendency for extreme rainfall intensity, especially under the SSP5-8.5 scenario. Flood risk mapping indicates that most areas of the Kapuas watershed consistently fall within the high to very high flood risk category, particularly in downstream and lowland regions. The overlay results reveal that more than 85% of transmission towers and nearly all substations are located within high flood risk zones.

Abstract

Mental health in Indigenous Peoples is often understood through clinical frameworks, thus ignoring the local meanings inherent in culture. This study aims to uncover the meaning of mental health in Dayak culture through the concept of Batekang Hambaruan as a form of inner strength. The study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach, involving participants from the sub-tribes Dayak Ngaju and Dayak Barai in Kalimantan. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that mental health is defined as an individual’s ability to recover, think clearly, work, and perform meaningful life roles amid life’s stresses. In contrast, the condition of Balemu Hambaruan or Mamau is understood as a temporary phase of mental weakness. Mental vulnerability is influenced by economic, structural, and social labeling pressures, while mental reinforcement is shaped by cultural values such as Isen Mulang and Pintar Harati, indigenous practices, and family and community support. These findings indicate that Batekang Hambaruan represents a form of culture-based resilience in interpreting and maintaining the mental health of the Dayak community, emphasizing the importance of a culturally informed mental health approach for Indigenous communities.

Abstract

The Muara Karang Generation Unit in North Jakarta is located in a coastal area that is highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly due to rising ambient air temperatures, sea-level rise, and coastal inundation. These impacts have affected the plant’s operational performance, including reduced efficiency of gas and steam turbines, increased cooling system loads, and the occurrence of seawater intrusion within the power plant area. Such conditions have the potential to disrupt the reliability of electricity supply to the strategic areas of DKI Jakarta. Therefore, a comprehensive climate vulnerability assessment is required to evaluate the level of risk, as well as the technical and financial implications of climate change on power plant performance. This study employs the Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) approach, which comprises three components: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Exposure analysis was conducted using historical data on ambient air temperature, sea surface temperature, and sea-level rise for the 1994–2024 period, along with CMIP6 climate projections for 2026–2060 under the SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. Sensitivity was assessed based on reductions in generation capacity due to increased air and seawater temperatures, higher fuel consumption, and the risk of seawater intrusion. Adaptive capacity was evaluated through an assessment of existing climate change adaptation and mitigation measures implemented at the facility. All indicators were normalized and weighted to produce a composite vulnerability index value. The results of the climate vulnerability assessment, based on the parameters of ambient temperature, sea temperature, and sea-level rise at the Muara Karang Power Generation Unit, show index values of 0.36 in 2030 and 0.45 in 2050, corresponding to “low” and “moderate” vulnerability categories, respectively.

Abstract

The electricity distribution system in the work area of PT PLN (Persero) Banten Distribution Main Unit is facing increasing challenges due to the increasing frequency and intensity of floods affected by climate change. Historical data show that power outages due to natural disasters contribute significantly to the unreliability of distribution systems, with flood events occurring in seasonal patterns and tending to be spatially extensive. This condition requires a comprehensive understanding of the factors that cause flooding and the level of flood vulnerability in the area where the electricity infrastructure is located, as a basis for more targeted risk management efforts. This study uses a quantitative approach based on spatial analysis to identify and analyze flood vulnerability. Flood risk assessment is carried out by integrating four main parameters, namely slope slope, rainfall, land use, and soil type, each of which is weighted according to the level of influence on the occurrence of flooding. Rainfall data was analyzed using historical data for the period 2014–2024 as well as climate projections with the SSP 2-4.5 and SSP 5-8.5 Scenarios. All parameters are processed using the Geographic Information System (GIS) to produce flood vulnerability maps and identify the level of risk to the electricity infrastructure. The results showed that flood vulnerability in the study area was predominantly influenced by topographic factors, followed by soil type, while rainfall and land use had a relatively balanced level of influence. Flood risk mapping shows variations in vulnerability levels across different climate scenarios. In 2030, areas with the Vulnerable Risk and Moderately Vulnerable risk classes dominate, while in 2050 there will be a shift with the increasing dominance of Moderately Vulnerable Risk in both SSP scenarios. The integration of flood risk maps with infrastructure data shows that most distribution substations are located in medium to high flood risk zones, which confirms the importance of flood risk mapping as a basis for managing electricity infrastructure in vulnerable areas flooding.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine the correlation of depressive symptoms in patients with T2DM on 2-hour postprandial (PP) blood sugar levels. This research was an analytical observational (quantitative) study with a cross-sectional design and a simple random sampling technique. This study was conducted at R.A Basoeni Regional General Hospital, Mojokerto, East Java. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), while 2-hour PP blood sugar levels were measured using a glucometer conducted in July-August 2025 with 101 respondents. The data obtained were analyzed using the Chi-Square test to determine the correlation between the two variables. The results of this study indicate a significant correlation with p = 0.010 and ? = 0.05, which mean p < ?. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between depressive symptoms and 2-hour postprandial blood sugar levels in patients with T2DM. This finding confirms that depressive symptoms play a significant role in influencing blood sugar stability in patients with T2DM.
