Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the role of influencers, affiliate marketing, and online customer reviews at Shopee through TikTok content on Generation Z purchasing decisions. This research uses a quantitative approach by collecting data through an online survey of 199 respondents of the Management Study Program students class of 2020. The data were analyzed using multiple regression methods to evaluate the relationship between the independent variables of influencer roles, affiliate marketing, and online customer reviews and the dependent variable (purchasing decisions). The analysis results show that the role of influencers, affiliate marketing, and online customer reviews have a positive and significant influence on Generation Z's purchasing decisions. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating marketing strategies through influencers, affiliate marketing, and online customer reviews in influencing Generation Z's purchasing decisions. This provides guidance for businesses to utilize e-commerce platforms such as Shopee and TikTok content as an effective means of communication to reach and influence the Generation Z market. This research makes a new contribution to the understanding of how the role of influencers, affiliate marketing and online customer reviews on Shopee, particularly through TikTok content, can influence Generation Z's purchasing decisions. This research adds insight into effective marketing strategies to capture the attention and influence the consumption behavior of the younger generation in the context of e-commerce platforms.

And the P value also shows the same result if the P value is less than 0.05 or symbolized * (below 0.01), it means that the two hypotheses have a significant effect or are accepted. path analysis fit model test is accepted because the GFT measure shows a P-value of more than 0.05, RMSE less than 0.08, CMIN less than 2.00, GFI less than 0.90, AGFI less than, 0.90, CFI more than 0.90, TLI more than 0.90.

Abstract

This study analyzes the right to justice in tenders for the procurement of goods and services for small business actors from the perspective of business competition law through the application of the SIKaP application. The research method used is qualitative analysis based on the available empirical analysis of the literature. The results of the literature analysis show that small business actors face challenges such as the non-transparency of the selection process, unfairness in evaluating proposals, non-neutral procurement, unfair competition, and constraints on access to information. SIKaP application is considered as a potential solution to increase fairness in procurement tenders, but challenges such as lack of understanding and awareness as well as technical obstacles still need to be overcome. The importance of the role of business competition law is also recognized in protecting the rights of small business actors. This study concludes that additional efforts are needed, including training and awareness, technological infrastructure improvements, and effective law enforcement, to ensure the successful implementation of the SIKaP application and the protection of small business actors' rights in procurement tenders. The results of this study make an important contribution in understanding the challenges and opportunities for small business actors in obtaining fairness in procurement tenders. The implications can be used as a basis for developing policies and actions that support fair participation and equal opportunities for small business actors.

Abstract

Submerged Arc Welding(SAW),the molten weld metal is immersed in aflux that protects it from air contamination, forming welding slag which is strong enough to protect the weld metal until it solidifies. The used electrode was AWSA5.17EL12. The base metal being welded is ASTM A283 Grade A. In this study, the effect of angle distortion on the T joint was observed by changing the welding parameters. In order to obtain the optimal results, an attempt was made to link the welding parameters to the angle distortion through a mathematical model by using the Box Behnken statistic technique, the feasibility of which was then tested by using ANOVA analysis. What was obtained was analyzed with the help of the response surface methodology (RSM = Response Surface Methodology) then

Abstract

CTS is arranged in outer muscle problems. This infection is brought about by pressure of the middle nerve at the wrist. Occupational factors are work- related risk factors, such as working quickly, repetitive movements, work stress, work that uses a lot of wrists and vibrations. The motivation behind this study is to decide the impact of word related elements to CTS frequency on regulatory specialists. This study uses cross sectional design with 35 respondents as sample. To determine hand posture was carried out by observation and interpretation with RULA, measurement of repetitive motion use a stopwatch, and work stress use Stress Diagnosis Survey. Utilize the Phalen's Test and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire to determine the incidence of CTS. The aftereffect of prescreening on managerial specialists uncovered that 40% laborers are positive for CTS. While the analysis uses binary logistic regression to determine the influence of occupational factors to CTS incident. Variables that influence CTS are repetitive motion of using mouse (p=0.005), repetitive motion of typing (p=0.027), and work stress (p=0.027). Therefore, it is necessary to give recommendations based on related variables (repetitive motion and work stress) in order to minimize the occurrence of CTS.

Abstract

When setting a task for designing a vessel, restrictions imposed by the customer, classification societies and requirements for the characteristics of ship structures are usually taken into account. In the current conditions, it also becomes necessary to ensure sufficient "sustainability" of the project. In this paper, a mathematical model describing these changes is given.
