Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) derived from rabbit urine on the growth and yield of several eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) varieties. The experiment was conducted at the Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Warmadewa University, from March to November 2025, using a factorial randomized block design with treatments consisting of LOF doses (50–200 ml) and eggplant varieties. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, number of flowers, number of fruits, as well as fresh and dry fruit weight. The results showed that LOF application significantly affected all variables, with the 50 ml + 6 g salt treatment on the green eggplant variety producing the highest growth and yield. These findings highlight the potential of rabbit urine-based LOF as an eco-friendly alternative to improve eggplant productivity.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of tax socialization, modernization of tax administration, and the implementation of Government Regulation No. 55 of 2022 on the compliance of MSME Taxpayers in Gorontalo City. With a quantitative approach through multiple linear regression in 100 purposive sampling respondents, the results showed that the three variables had a positive and significant effect. Tax socialization had a significant effect (β = 0.296; p = 0.010), administrative modernization had the strongest effect (β = 0.786; p = 0.000) through the use of e-Filing, e-Billing, and Coretax, while the implementation of Government Regulation No. 55/2022 also increased voluntary compliance (β = 0.472; p = 0.047). Simultaneous testing confirmed that these three factors together had a significant effect on MSME tax compliance (F value = 25.933, p = 0.000). Therefore, effective communication, digital transformation, and supportive fiscal policies are essential to improve tax compliance among MSMEs.

Abstract

Bali and the tourism industry are two interrelated and inseparable elements. The marketing strategies implemented, such as emphasizing exclusivity, luxury, and local cultural values, are considered to be not fully effective in driving occupancy growth. This study aims to analyze marketing strategies to increase room occupancy rates at the Apurva Kempinski Bali, a five-star hotel located in Nusa Dua, Bali, which competes fiercely with other luxury hotels. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection through interviews, observation, documentation, and questionnaires. The analysis is carried out using SWOT, IFAS Matrix, and EFAS to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the hotel's marketing strategy. The results of the study show that the main strengths lie in service and global brand reputation, while staff limitations are a weakness. Opportunities arise from an increase in tourists after the pandemic, while the threat of high competition between hotels remains.

Abstract

The Laguna, A Luxury Collection Resort & Spa organizes a BASE training program to improve employee performance. This study aims to determine the effect of BASE training on employee performance in the hotel. The data collection method used a questionnaire involving 79 respondents and was tested for validity and reliability. The results of data analysis with simple linear regression showed that BASE training had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with a significance value (p) of 0.000 < 0.05. In addition, the value of the determination coefficient (R²) = 0.542, which means that the training explains 54.2% of the variation in performance and the remaining 45.8% is explained by other factors outside of this study model. This study concludes that BASE training is an effective strategy in improving the quality of employee work in the premium service-based hospitality industry.

Abstract

Student-led research is essential to academic growth, offering insights and meaningful reflections grounded in real educational experiences. However, many published works are left unused within institutional archives, leaving their potential impact untapped. The research utilized a structured review process that analyzed published student works to uncover patterns that inform the creation of student-centered development programs. The findings show that student-led publications reflect key areas of student growth, including intellectual, emotional, social, moral, and spiritual development. The reviewed articles highlight how student experiences and reflections offer valuable insights into their personal and academic journeys. These insights suggest that student research can be used to guide the creation of responsive development programs that align with students' real needs and institutional goals.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of health facilities, household expenditure, and pure participation rate (APN) on the achievement of the Pure Ebtanas Value (NEM) of Senior High Schools (SMA) as a reflection of the Human Development Index (HDI) in the Central Indonesia region. This research approach uses a quantitative method with secondary data sourced from the World Bank. The analysis was carried out through multiple linear regression models to identify the contribution of each variable to NEM achievement. The results of the analysis showed that the three independent variables had a significant effect on the achievement of SMA NEM (p < 0.05), both partially and simultaneously. Household expenditure has the most dominant influence with the lowest regression coefficient, showing that family economic factors play a major role in determining the quality of children's education. The results of the study also showed that the combination of the three determinants made a significant contribution to the achievement of high school NEM by 71% (R² = 0.71).

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to find out the extent to which weather changes affect the efficiency of electrical energy conversion, as well as to provide technical recommendations for the development of solar power systems in tropical climates. The research process was carried out by directly measuring the electrical parameters and the intensity of light received by the solar panels. Data collection was conducted over three consecutive days, with two days representing sunny conditions and one cloudy day. The observation results showed that there was a quite striking difference in performance between sunny and cloudy conditions. In sunny weather, solar panels are able to produce power close to their maximum capacity with a high level of efficiency. In contrast, when the sky is cloudy, the intensity of light decreases significantly, which has a direct impact on the decrease in voltage and electric current. The efficiency of the panels decreased by 44.4% in cloudy conditions compared to during sunny days.

Abstract

The research was conducted on the three elements that form the urban space and the environment, including: Road Infrastructure which is a connectivity route between residents and with the environment outside the residential environment which has partly become on street parking and caused bottlenecks on several road sections; Environmental Sanitation which has changed benefits even though it is still functioning, but it is not optimal due to the existence of buildings on top of environmental sanitation with various functions; The Green Open Space, which was originally intended as a green park and green belt, has undergone a change in function to become a parking lot for residents' cars, business places, and even illegal houses built by non-residents, without building permits and proof of land ownership. The research method chosen is a descriptive-analytical research method using qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Abstract

This study examines how macro-level components of the Human Development Index (HDI): education, health, and economic factors, relate to junior high school students’ academic achievement in Central Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory design was applied using district-level secondary data analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 4. The model assessed the effects of transportation and telecommunication infrastructure, household access to health facilities, household expenditure, and net participation rate on students’ average National Examination (NEM) scores. The results show weak and statistically non-significant relationships (β = 0.011–0.243; R² = 0.141), indicating that macro-development indicators alone do not lead directly to higher learning outcomes. This article contributes by integrating empirical analysis with Christian educational reflection, emphasizing education as holistic human development grounded in Imago Dei and oriented toward shalom.
