Abstract

This study addresses the ongoing debate regarding the medical relevance and ethical implications of color vision deficiency (CVD) requirements for medical school admission. Traditionally, many medical institutions require candidates to be free from color blindness based on the assumption that accurate color perception is essential for diagnosing clinical signs such as cyanosis, jaundice, and skin lesions. However, the rapid development of medical technology and diagnostic tools has raised questions about whether such requirements remain justified. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the medical relevance of color vision requirements and examine their ethical implications in the context of modern medical education. This research employs a systematic literature review method by analyzing peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025. Relevant studies were collected from major scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. The selected articles were screened using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by quality assessment and thematic synthesis to identify patterns related to clinical competence, technological adaptation, and ethical considerations. The findings show that the prevalence of color vision deficiency among medical students ranges from approximately 1.4% to 6%; however, direct evidence linking CVD to significant clinical errors remains limited. Advances in digital diagnostic tools and assistive technologies also enable individuals with CVD to compensate effectively in clinical practice. From an ethical perspective, strict exclusion policies may raise concerns regarding fairness and equal access to medical education. In conclusion, the study suggests that, rather than absolute exclusion, a more inclusive and evidence-based approach—such as early screening, adaptive training, and specialization guidance—should be considered to balance patient safety with equitable access to the medical profession.

Abstract

The Bre-X gold mining scandal (1993–1997) represents one of the most catastrophic failures of natural resource governance in modern history, resulting in investor losses exceeding US$4.5 billion (approximately Rp147 trillion in current value) and exposing systemic institutional deficiencies within Indonesia's mining regulatory framework during the late Orde Baru (New Order) era. This study analyzes Busang District government governance using the McKinsey 7S Framework (Strategy, Structure, Systems, Shared Values, Skills, Style, and Staff). Through documentary analysis of government records, parliamentary investigations, and academic literature, the research identifies institutional misalignments that enabled four years of undetected fraud despite multiple oversight agencies. Key findings reveal strategic prioritization of revenue generation over regulatory compliance, structural fragmentation dispersing accountability across national, provincial, and district levels, systemic absence of independent assay verification and monitoring protocols, cultural normalization of patronage-based decision-making, technical skill deficiencies preventing fraud detection, leadership responsiveness to political pressure rather than technical judgment, and inadequate human resource development for mining oversight. These compounded failures created an environment of "regulatory capture" wherein mining operators exercised dominant influence over supposedly independent regulatory institutions. The analysis demonstrates that Bre-X's success in perpetuating fraud resulted not from individual corruption but from systemic institutional misalignment across all seven organizational dimensions. This research contributes to governance literature by applying the McKinsey 7S Framework to analyze natural resource regulation in developing economies, offering actionable recommendations for contemporary mining governance reforms, including the establishment of independent regulatory agencies and technical capacity building.

Abstract

This research analyzes interview data from five informants in Busang Sub-District, Kutai Timur Regency, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, to examine the impact of telecommunications network quality on public service delivery. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research reveals that weak and unstable mobile and internet signals, particularly in remote villages, significantly hinder administrative services such as document processing, online registrations, and information access. Key challenges include frequent signal dropouts, delayed online transactions, and reliance on manual processes, exacerbated by Busang's status as a blank spot area. Findings indicate that poor network coverage reduces service reliability, responsiveness, and accessibility, aligning with prior studies on rural digital divides. The research contributes to policy discussions on digital inclusion in underdeveloped regions by providing micro-level qualitative insights often absent from aggregate reports. Recommendations include targeted infrastructure investments such as topography-specific micro-BTS deployments, hybrid offline-online service models to maintain accessibility during network failures, and community-based connectivity solutions to enhance public service equity in remote areas.

Abstract

Song lyrics are a form of popular literary work that function not only as entertainment but also as a medium for conveying experiences, emotions, and the songwriter’s perspective on life. This study aims to analyze the denotative and connotative meanings of each line in the song “Pikiran yang Matang” by the band Perunggu, so that the message conveyed in the song can be understood more comprehensively. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a semantic approach. The research data consist of the text of the song lyrics “Pikiran yang Matang,” which are analyzed line by line. Data collection was conducted through a literature review, while data analysis was carried out by identifying denotative meanings as literal meanings and connotative meanings as additional meanings related to emotional experiences, symbols, and the social context underlying the song lyrics. The results indicate that, denotatively, the lyrics depict everyday conditions such as feelings of fatigue, mental disturbances, and simple daily activities. Connotatively, the song reflects mental exhaustion, boredom with energy-draining interactions, and the process of personal maturation in determining life priorities. Expressions such as “a mature mind” and “calm sea” function as symbols of a stable, peaceful emotional state after enduring various pressures. The song “Mind That Matang” conveys messages about intellectual maturity, emotional regulation, and efforts to live more calmly without being trapped in unnecessary drama, making it relevant to young people experiencing personal maturation.

Abstract

This study addresses the increasing challenges faced by Generation Z employees in adapting to dynamic work environments, where psychological resilience and sustained engagement are essential for optimal performance. In Samarinda City, the dominance of Generation Z in the workforce highlights the importance of understanding internal factors that influence work engagement. This study aims to examine the effect of grit on work engagement among Generation Z employees. A quantitative inferential research design was employed, involving 111 respondents selected through purposive sampling based on the Lemeshow formula. Data were collected using validated psychological scales measuring grit and work engagement, and analyzed using simple linear regression with SPSS. The results indicate that grit has a positive and statistically significant effect on work engagement (t = 3.080; p < 0.05), although its contribution is relatively small (R² = 0.08). This finding suggests that while perseverance and consistency in achieving long-term goals enhance employee engagement, other factors also play a substantial role. In conclusion, grit serves as an important psychological resource that supports work engagement among Generation Z employees, but it is not the sole determinant. Future research is recommended to explore additional variables influencing work engagement

Abstract

Sarmi Regency, Papua, was selected as the research locus due to its challenging geographical conditions, limited logistical access, and asymmetric security threat dynamics, which require adaptive leadership effectiveness and operational strategy. This study aims to analyze the influence of field leadership style and battalion strategy on the success of soldiers’ missions in security operations conducted in high-risk areas. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design to examine the causal relationship between field leadership style (X1) and battalion strategy(X2) on mission success (Y), both partially and simultaneously. The research population consisted of approximately 500 soldiers, with a sample of 222 respondents determined using the Slovin formula and a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire that met validity and reliability requirements. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression and multiple linear regression, accompanied by t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results indicate that field leadership style has a positive and significant effect on mission success, as does battalion strategy. Simultaneously, both variables explain 56.3% of the variance in mission success. These findings confirm that mission success in high-risk areas is the result of the integration of adaptive field leadership and structured, contextual battalion strategy.

Abstract

The strategic rivalry between the United States and China in the Indo-Pacific creates significant structural pressure for Indonesia as a key middle power and ASEAN leader. However, Indonesia remains underexplored in hedging strategy studies compared to other Southeast Asian countries. Moreover, the 2019–2024 period—marked by AUKUS, IPEF, Indonesia’s G20 presidency and ASEAN chairmanship, and rising tensions in the Natuna waters—has not been systematically analyzed. An additional gap lies in internal institutional incoherence, whereby key state actors do not consistently present aligned strategic signals. This article examines how Indonesia operationalizes its hedging strategy in response to the US–China rivalry during 2019–2024 across three interrelated dimensions: diplomatic-institutional, economic, and security. Data were collected through document analysis, qualitative content analysis, and process tracing. The findings show that Indonesia consistently pursued soft hedging that preserved its foreign policy autonomy. The article advances three theoretical contributions: identifying institutional incoherence as a new variable that erodes hedging credibility; demonstrating that Wilkins’s security–economic disconnect more accurately captures Indonesia’s structural dilemma than conventional small-state hedging frameworks; and arguing that, for middle powers such as Indonesia, hedging functions not merely as a survival strategy but as a self-reinforcing leadership strategy.

Abstract

Fatigue or work fatigue is one of the main causes of work accidents in hauler operators in the mining sector. In the June-September 2024 period, PT Putra Perkasa Abadi (PPA) Jobsite MIPL recorded 10 incidents, with 5 cases caused by operator fatigue. The analysis showed operators remained working in fatigued conditions and were reluctant to report the condition. Even though the Driving Monitoring System (DMS) has been used, psychological factors and lack of family support have made fatigue control not optimal. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Door to Door (DtD) approach based on Family Support Safety in reducing incidents due to fatigue in hauler operators. Uses the Quality Control Project (QCP) approach through the Door to Door (DtD) program, which is a direct visit to the operator: P's family home with the highest DMS findings. The program was implemented in October–November 2024 by a cross-departmental team (SHE, Production, and HCGA). The implementation of the program showed a decrease in incidents due to fatigue from 5 cases to 0 cases, as well as a 100% reduction in the company's potential losses from Rp69,907,004 to Rp0. Family Support Safety through Door to Door (DtD) has proven to be effective as a preventive strategy in managing hauler operator fatigue and can strengthen the occupational safety system in the mining sector.

Abstract

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder often experience difficulties in maintaining attention, following instructions, and completing academic tasks in inclusive classroom settings. These difficulties can limit their academic participation and engagement during learning activities. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Applied Behavior Analysis intervention in improving academic participation among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in inclusive schools. The study used a single subject experimental design consisting of baseline and intervention phases. Behavioral observations were conducted to measure indicators of academic participation, including following instructions, completing tasks, maintaining attention, and sitting during learning activities. The intervention was implemented for ten sessions using reinforcement, prompting, and task analysis strategies. The results showed a significant improvement in academic participation after the implementation of the intervention. The average participation score increased from 6.8 during the baseline phase to 15.2 during the intervention phase. These findings indicate that Applied Behavior Analysis is effective in increasing academic participation among children with autism spectrum disorder in inclusive educational settings

Abstract

The increase in traffic volume, especially during long holidays coinciding with Eid al-Adha, can affect intersection performance and potentially cause issues such as changes in intersection capacity, degree of saturation, and traffic delays. Therefore, an analysis of intersection performance is necessary to evaluate the level of service at the Nusantara Three-Way Intersection in Cilacap. This study aims to calculate the intersection capacity, degree of saturation, traffic delay, and determine the level of service of the Nusantara Three-Way Intersection due to increased traffic volume. This research uses a quantitative approach based on primary and secondary data. The analysis was conducted according to the provisions of the Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI) 2023. The results show that the peak traffic volume occurred on Thursday, 5 June 2025, at 16:00– 17:00 WIB with a value of 886.40 PCU/hour (SMP/hour). The intersection capacity was 2,414.886 PCU/hour, with a degree of saturation of 0.367 and an average delay of 4.799 seconds per vehicle. The performance of the Nusantara Three-Way Intersection can be categorized as good, indicating that the level of service is still optimal and no additional lanes or traffic management measures are required
