Abstract

Employee performance is a critical factor in maintaining service quality, operational efficiency, and patient satisfaction in healthcare institutions. At Ismail Medika Clinic in Depok, employee performance is influenced by the effectiveness of human resource governance, particularly management audits, recruitment, and training. This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of management audits, recruitment, and training on employee performance. The research employed a quantitative cross-sectional approach with a census sampling technique involving all 45 employees, consisting of both medical and non-medical personnel. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression using SPSS version 27. The findings show that management audits have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with a t-value of 4.344 and a significance value below 0.001. Recruitment also has a positive and significant effect, with a t-value of 3.074 and a significance value of 0.004. Training, however, has a positive but statistically insignificant effect, with a t-value of 0.314 and a significance value of 0.755. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect employee performance, with an F-value of 10.737 and an R² of 0.440. The study concludes that effective audits and competency-based recruitment are essential drivers of employee performance, while training programs require more careful planning and systematic evaluation.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Instagram in the personal branding strategies of major streamers, focusing on Windah Basudara, a prominent YouTube content creator with a Diamond-Tier channel. The research aims to determine whether Instagram remains relevant for established streamers and how cross-platform branding affects audience engagement and community loyalty. A qualitative case study method was employed, including observations of Windah's Instagram feeds, stories, and reels from December 2025 to February 2026, alongside interviews with internal team members, fans, and a personal branding practitioner. Data were analyzed using triangulation and thematic interpretation, guided by Peter Montoya's eight laws of personal branding. Results indicate that Windah's Instagram strategy is community-centered, emphasizing parasocial relationships through spontaneous, authentic content, high responsiveness, and participatory charity activities. Contextual adaptation allows him to maintain core identity while adjusting visual and communication styles across platforms. His approach reinforces engagement, loyalty, and a positive public image without reliance on curated aesthetics. The study concludes that Instagram remains essential for sustaining personal branding and relational influence among established streamers. Future research should explore socio-cultural adaptations of branding theories and quantitatively measure cross-platform engagement to generalize effectiveness in diverse digital ecosystems.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of phrasal verbs in undergraduate academic writing, focusing on their syntactic features and semantic transparency in relation to academic formality. Despite prescriptive norms favoring explicit and Latinate vocabulary, students frequently employ phrasal verbs, which can introduce ambiguity or informal tones. The study aims to identify the types of phrasal verbs in undergraduate theses, analyze their syntactic characteristics, and interpret how semantic transparency positions them along the formality continuum. A qualitative, corpus-informed approach was adopted, examining 248,987 tokens from undergraduate theses in an English Language Study Program. Phrasal verbs were identified using AntConc and manually verified according to Biber et al.'s (1999) constructional categories. Syntactic features, including transitivity, separability, and particle behavior, were analyzed as indicators of semantic transparency. Exemplification was employed to illustrate patterns and interpret their alignment with academic register expectations. Findings reveal that verb + adverbial particle constructions were the most prevalent, with a preference for inseparability. High semantic transparency phrasal verbs, such as carry out and point out, aligned closely with formal academic norms, while low-transparency verbs, including break down and open up, introduced metaphorical or idiomatic meanings, creating register tension. The study concludes that academic formality is a continuum, and the acceptability of phrasal verbs depends on semantic clarity. These insights inform pedagogical strategies for EAP instruction and suggest further research on cross-disciplinary and longitudinal usage patterns.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of character development on student discipline at Karitas Catholic High School, Tomohon. In the context of education, fostering student discipline is essential for creating an orderly and conducive learning environment, as well as developing responsible and socially aware individuals. Despite the recognized importance of character education, gaps remain in systematically implementing programs that translate moral values into measurable behavioral outcomes. The purpose of this study is to examine how structured character development programs affect various aspects of student discipline, including punctuality, adherence to school rules, task completion, and ethical conduct. The research employed a quantitative correlational design with a sample of 179 students from grades 10 and 11, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 50-item Likert-scale questionnaire measuring character development and discipline, validated through expert review and pilot testing, with reliability confirmed via Cronbach's alpha. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and Pearson Product-Moment correlation to determine the strength and significance of the relationship between the variables. The findings indicate a very strong and significant positive correlation (r = 0.850, p < 0.05), demonstrating that higher levels of character development are associated with increased student discipline. The results highlight the critical role of planned and continuous character education in shaping student behavior, underscoring its importance as a foundation for academic success and moral development.

Abstract

Death anxiety is a feeling of fear and worry that arises when individuals contemplate their own death or the death of others. This systematic review aims to identify factors associated with death anxiety based on current scientific literature. Through a rigorous selection process following PRISMA guidelines, 11 international journal articles published during 2019–2025 were selected for analysis. The results demonstrate that internal psychological factors, particularly meaning in life and self-esteem, are the primary determinants in mitigating death anxiety. Social factors such as loneliness and low family emotional attachment emerge as significant risk factors. Furthermore, spiritual health, mindfulness coping strategies, and demographic characteristics also influence the level of death anxiety. The analysis reveals that self-esteem functions as a "psychological buffer" that suppresses anxiety when individuals perceive their lives as meaningful, consistent with Terror Management Theory. The findings emphasize the dynamic interaction between internal, social, and spiritual dimensions in shaping death anxiety experiences. These findings underscore the importance of holistic interventions that focus on strengthening the meaning of life, enhancing spiritual well-being, and improving the quality of social relationships. Such comprehensive approaches aim to help individuals achieve greater self-acceptance and face mortality with increased calmness and dignity.

Abstract

The digital era demands user interfaces (UI) and user experiences (UX) that are adaptive, intuitive, and personalized. Traditional manual UI design approaches often fail to meet dynamic user expectations, resulting in rigid and inefficient interactions. This study aims to investigate the impact of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models on optimizing digital user interfaces to enhance both usability and overall user experience. A mixed-methods explanatory sequential design was employed, combining quantitative evaluation of AI-driven UI performance with qualitative assessment of user perceptions. Deep neural networks, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing were implemented in experimental interface scenarios to measure task completion rates, error reduction, navigation efficiency, and user engagement. The results demonstrated significant improvements in performance metrics, including a 14% reduction in task completion time, a 35% increase in click efficiency, and a notable rise in user satisfaction and trust. Qualitative findings indicated enhanced emotional comfort, reduced cognitive load, and positive perceptions of adaptive personalization. The study concludes that integrating advanced AI in UI design substantially improves both functional and experiential outcomes. These findings provide theoretical contributions to human-centered AI frameworks and practical guidance for designing adaptive, transparent, and contextually intelligent digital interfaces.

Abstract

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed digital communication in higher education, enabling natural language interactions that resemble interpersonal dialogue. This study investigates how students construct communicative relationships with AI and develop AI literacy in academic contexts. The research aims to explore students' experiences in assigning personas to AI, engaging in "as-if human" communication, and reflecting ethically on AI usage. A qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was employed, involving 25 students from the D-III Public Relations Program at AKMRTV Jakarta. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, digital observations, and analysis of 218 AI conversational documents. The findings reveal that students perceive AI as an academic thinking partner, discussion companion, and virtual mentor, fostering relational attachment and supporting idea development. Students actively assign personas to AI platforms, applying interpersonal communication norms and critical verification during interactions. Based on these insights, the Prosopopoeic AI Literacy (PAIL) model was developed, consisting of five dimensions: Persona Awareness, Relational Awareness, Critical Verification, Academic Agency, and Ethical Reflection. The study concludes that AI literacy encompasses both technical skills and reflective, ethical, and relational competencies, positioning AI as a quasi-social actor in higher education. These findings provide practical implications for AI integration into curricula, promoting responsible, ethical, and effective human-AI communication in academic environments.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Village-Owned Enterprises (Badan Usaha Milik Desa/BUMDes) in improving the community's economy and Village Original Income (Pendapatan Asli Desa/PADes) in Kedakas Village, Tayan Hulu District, Sanggau Regency. This research is motivated by the suboptimal management of village potential, which has resulted in limited contributions to PADes and community welfare. The method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques comprising interviews, observations, and documentation, with informants consisting of the village head, BUMDes managers, village officials, and community members. The results of the study show that BUMDes have operated several business units, including oil palm fresh fruit bunch management, rental services, and food security enterprises, which have had a positive impact on the community's economy, particularly for those directly involved. BUMDes have also contributed to PADes, although these contributions remain limited. The principles of transparency, accountability, participation, and professionalism have begun to be implemented, but have not yet been applied optimally. Supporting factors include village government support, community participation, and available village potential, while inhibiting factors include limited capital, low human resource capacity, and business competition. It is concluded that BUMDes play an important role, but still require more optimal management so that the benefits can be felt more broadly and sustainably.
