Abstract

Asting, a condition characterized by low body weight in toddlers, has a prevalence of 28.94% in Martapura Timur District. This study aimed to explore the relationship between income, food availability, and consumption patterns as factors contributing to wasting among toddlers aged 12-59 months. Using a Cross-Sectional design, data were collected from 45 purposively sampled toddlers through questionnaires, food availability forms, and food frequency forms. Spearman Rank correlation (α=0.05) was employed for data analysis. Findings revealed that most mothers were under 20 or over 35 years old, with junior high school education and predominantly unemployed. Male toddlers were slightly more prevalent, with 82.2% classified as wasting and 17.8% in severe wasting. Low family income (below the minimum wage) was common (71.1%), and food availability ranged from insufficient to barely sufficient. Consumption patterns were largely suboptimal (64.4%), with staple food intake (<150 g/day) limited to rice and corn, animal protein (50 g/day) from eggs only, plant protein (<40 g/day) primarily from tofu, and minimum vegetable consumption (30 g/week of pumpkin, 1-3 times weekly). Statistical analysis indicated significant relationships between family income (p=0.048, r=0.296), food availability (p=0.048, r=0.296), and consumption patterns (ρ=0.002, r=0.455) with wasting. The strongest relationship was found in food availability. Efforts are being made to increase awareness through health centers, encouraging mothers to utilize home yards for food production, enhancing food availability, and improving children's diets. Addressing these factors can help reduce the prevalence of wasting and promote better nutrition in toddlers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of macroeconomic indicators, investment decisions, capital, risk profile, earnings, and corporate governance on stock returns in banking companies in Indonesia using the SEM-PLS method. The research results show that macroeconomic indicators (inflation, exchange rate, and interest rate) do not significantly affect stock returns either through risk profile or earnings. But if the macroeconomic variables are tested without mediation variables and directly on stock returns, they have a significant impact.In addition, investment decision indicators (current asset ratio and total asset growth), capital indicators (capital adequacy ratio and debt equity ratio), as well as risk profile indicators (non-performing loan and loan deposit ratio) also do not have a significant impact on stock returns. Similarly, the earning indicators (ROA, ROE, and NIM) and good corporate governance (board of directors and number of commissioners) do not show a significant influence on stock returns. These findings indicate that external factors and other variables are more dominant in influencing stock returns in banking companies in Indonesia.

Abstract

PT PLN (Persero) Project Management Center or called (PLN Pusmanpro) in carrying out its activities managing electricity project management, both power plant projects, transmission, substations and rehabilitation projects, opens opportunities for its employees to innovate in the fields of technology and information systems. The problems that arise in the implementation of the use of the Assignment Monitoring and Reporting System (SIMPP) are that the implementation of this application has been running since 2015 and is still using the old version, then there is no indicator that the use of SIMPP can provide work enthusiasm for employees, because the development of the use of information technology is rapidly changing and increasingly sophisticated, and the level of employee communication and innovation is still relatively poor because there are still limitations to the features in this SIMPP application. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of upskilling, communication and digital capability on employee performance with innovation as an intervening variable. This study uses a quantitative method with primary data sources obtained from distributing questionnaires. The population of this study were all employees at PLN Pusmanpro. The selection of respondents was carried out using the saturated non-probability sampling method with a total of 126 respondents. The data analysis method uses descriptive analysis and SEM-PLS analysis. The results of the study indicate that the variables of upskilling, communication and digital capability have a positive and significant effect on employee performance through employee innovation at PT PLN Pusmanpro.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of digital technology adoption on the level of tax compliance in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, this research collected data from 200 respondents consisting of business actors, both individuals and corporations, who have implemented digital technology in their tax reporting. The analytical method used is linear regression to determine the relationship between the independent variable (digital technology adoption) and the dependent variable (tax compliance). The research results show that the adoption of digital technology, such as the use of e-filing and e-billing, has a significant positive influence on the level of tax compliance. Taxpayers who adopt digital technology tend to be more compliant in reporting and paying taxes on time. However, several challenges are still faced, such as low digital literacy and concerns regarding data security. This research concludes that increasing digital literacy and strengthening technological infrastructure is needed to optimize the benefits of adopting digital technology in the tax system. Apart from that, clearer policies regarding taxation in the digital economy sector are important in facing modern economic developments. Thus, adopting digital technology can be a strategic solution in increasing tax compliance and state revenues.

Abstract

This study analyzes the interconnections among transformational leadership, safety culture, and safety behavior at PT Cipta Kridatama Site PT Borneo Indobara, a high-risk mining operation. The research, framed by theoretical views like the Theory of Planned Behavior and Hudson’s Safety Culture Maturity Model, underscores the pivotal role of leadership in cultivating a proactive safety culture and impacting safety behavior. This research aims to assess the direct and indirect impacts of transformational safety leadership on safety behavior, with safety culture serving as a mediating variable. The research used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine quantitative data obtained from employee surveys, assessing leadership techniques, cultural characteristics, and behavioral results. The results indicate that transformational safety leadership exerts a substantial and robust impact on safety culture, evidenced by a coefficient of 0.923, a t-statistic of 72.438, and an effect size of 5.765. The safety culture markedly affects safety behavior, evidenced by a coefficient of 0.495, a t-statistic of 5.920, and an effect size of 0.180. Transformational safety leadership has a moderate direct influence on safety behavior (coefficient: 0.417, t-statistic: 4.977, effect size: 0.127) in comparison to its effect on safety culture. Moreover, safety culture mediates the connection between transformational leadership and safety behavior, evidenced by a mediation coefficient of 0.457, a t-statistic of 5.863, and an impact size of 0.180, underscoring its crucial function in converting leadership into behavioral results. The research emphasizes the necessity of combining transformational leadership methods with initiatives to foster a strong safety culture. Recommendations involve augmenting leadership training to integrate safety-oriented practices and executing cultural alignment techniques to maintain proactive safety habits. These insights enhance safety management techniques in high-risk sectors, foster safer workplaces, and improve overall operational outcomes.
