Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of Governor of Lampung's Instruction No. 2 of 2025, which sets a floor purchasing price for cassava at IDR 1,350 per kilogram, with a maximum deduction (rafaksi) of 30% and without consideration of starch content. Although the policy aimed to protect farmers from plummeting prices, it triggered a complex chain reaction. Employing a case study approach and analyzing secondary data from news sources and relevant literature, this study finds that the policy directly led to the temporary shutdown of most tapioca factories in Lampung. While farmers initially welcomed the price benchmark, factory closures resulted in difficulties in absorbing harvested cassava and posed the risk of significant losses for farmers. The analysis revealed that the policy's disregard for quality factors, particularly starch content, and failure to consider the economic viability of the processing industry were key drivers of resistance from factory owners. Subsequent interventions by regional and national governments, including the proposal of a Limited Import Ban (Lartas) on tapioca and the involvement of the Food Task Force, along with negotiations involving business associations, eventually pressured many factories to resume operations and comply with new pricing. Nonetheless, this episode highlights the vulnerability of farmers, the complexity of price interventions in agricultural commodity markets, and the urgent need for a holistic policy approach. This study recommends a reformulation of floor price policies that incorporate quality-based incentives, promote equitable partnership models, strengthen farmers’ capacity, ensure better coordination between regional and central governments, and include well-calibrated import regulations.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the global shift toward telehealth services, compelling healthcare systems to integrate digital platforms for continued patient care. This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of telehealth applications among healthcare professionals (HCPs) in Saudi Arabia, using an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The model incorporates classical TAM variables, such as perceived usefulness and ease of use, alongside additional quality dimensions, such as learnability, interface quality, interaction quality, and reliability. Data were collected from 102 HCPs across public and private hospitals and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS. The results revealed that perceived usefulness, learnability, interaction quality, and reliability significantly influence satisfaction, which in turn strongly predicts future usage intention. However, ease of use and interface quality were found to be non-significant, suggesting that, under pandemic conditions, functional reliability and clinical value outweigh usability aesthetics. The model demonstrated substantial explanatory power (R² = 0.691 for satisfaction; R² = 0.623 for intention) and predictive relevance through PLSpredict. This research extends the TAM by integrating system quality factors relevant to healthcare contexts and offers practical insights for policymakers and system developers aiming to enhance the long-term adoption of telehealth technologies.

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the meanings of BTS’s Spring Day music video through the lens of the Narrative Paradigm theory and Roland Barthes semiotics. The study used two primary data collection techniques: observation and literature review. The analysis found nine key scenes showing three stages of emotional transformation: grief, longing, and emotional liberation. Each stage reflects a specific mood, isolation, sorrow, longing, healing, or hope. Additionally, an analysis of eight key lyrics reveals four narrative stages: profound loss and clinging to hope, struggling with normalcy, emerging from despair, and messages of hope and closure. These findings highlight how Spring Day combines visual and lyrical elements to convey the universal message of loss and recovery. BTS’s storytelling on Spring Day offers an emotionally resonant and culturally relevant narrative enriched with semiotic meaning.

Abstract

This study discusses legal protection for Indonesian migrant workers in the dynamics of the diaspora and public policy challenges. Indonesian Migrant Workers play an important role as contributors to the country’s foreign exchange, but still face various problems such as human rights violations, violence, exploitation, and weak legal protection in the destination country. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a juridical-sociological method through in-depth interviews and participatory observation of Indonesian migrant workers and secondary data analysis from official government documents and international reports. The results of the study show a significant gap between the protection policies that have been set by the government and the reality of their implementation in the field. The main problems include the rampant non-procedural placement by illegal agents, low digital literacy of Indonesian migrant workers regarding the government’s online reporting system, and limited coordination between related institutions. This study highlights the importance of cross-sector collaboration, both state and private, and the use of information technology to strengthen complaint mechanisms and the supervision of migrant worker placement in a transparent and accountable manner.

Abstract

This study explored English teachers' practices in the implementation of English Language Teaching (ELT) under the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian senior high schools.  Employing a qualitative case study approach, the researchers collected data through semi-structured interviews with three English teachers from three schools. This study investigated how teachers adapt the curriculum to classroom practice and their perceptions of students’ engagement and learning outcomes. To provide contextual insight, placement tests (vocabulary and reading tests) and writing test results were examined to illustrate the alignment between teaching approaches and outcomes. The findings revealed that teachers who adopted student-centered and collaborative strategies reported higher student motivation and stronger motivation on both tests. In contrast, a textbook-oriented or teacher-centered approach is associated with limited student progress. Therefore, this study emphasizes the critical role of teacher agency and the availability of resources in realizing the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This article analyzes unregistered marriage in Indonesia from a national legal perspective, focusing on its impact on the rights of women and children. Applying a normative legal approach, the study reviews statutory law, religious fatwas, and court decisions to clarify that unregistered marriages, while sometimes valid religiously, however lack formal legal recognition under Undang-Undang Perkawinan. This legal gap exposes women to loss of civil rights and leaves children vulnerable to administrative discrimination and social stigma. The discussion also highlights legal developments following Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010, as well as the influence of local traditions and limited legal literacy. The article concludes by recommending legal reform, community legal education, and integration of customary practices to strengthen protection for affected groups.

Abstract

Salak Parijotho: A sign of the cultural identity of Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, batik is an expression of creativity. The goal of this research was to examine and assess how local residents view Parijotho Salak Batik as Sleman's cultural identity. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method of data collection, which included thorough interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. The younger generation views it as a potentially creative economy that can be developed, while artists and cultural icons see it as a cultural legacy that must be protected. The salak motif, which is typical of this batik, symbolizes Sleman's distinctiveness as the top producer of salak. Additionally, the research revealed obstacles to conservation and growth, such as inadequate promotion, competition with contemporary textile goods, and a scarcity of skilled artisans. The study's conclusion indicates that, while Parijotho Salak Batik has potential as a solid cultural identity, cooperation between the government, creative industry participants, and the community is necessary to maintain and foster it. In the context of modernization and globalization, these results add to a thorough understanding of the dynamics of local cultural identity.

Abstract

This study focuses on examining the integrative factors that determine successful innovations in the business process of Umrah in PT. Umi Muthmainah Berkah Umrah and Hajj Travel are located in Surabaya. The factors examined were technology, regulation, human resource (HR) quality, and pilgrims' trust. The method used was qualitative, with a case study approach and data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results showed that while digitized systems bolster operational efficiency and convenience for pilgrims, a far greater hurdle in human resources limits the ability to utilize technology. Travel companies are subject to strict compliance requirements, which necessitate continual adaptation and travel agency innovation. The human resource quality gained through systematic and ongoing training fosters successful innovation, while trust from pilgrims significantly affects business reputation and sustainability. This study affirms the synergistic integration of technology, regulation, human resources, and congregation trust, which constitute the pillars of innovation and umrah business success. The study results suggest directions for management to focus more on the enhancement of technology and human resources, and for the government to formulate pro-innovation policy regulations. This study also encourages the public to be more discerning in selecting a Umrah bureau to receive optimal and more trustworthy services.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality on member satisfaction at the Citra Abadi Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSP). Service quality was assessed using five main elements: tangibles (physical evidence), Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. A qualitative approach, specifically a case study, was employed for data collection involving in-depth interviews with cooperative members and direct observation of the service process. Qualitative data analysis employed thematic coding to identify key patterns and insights. The results indicate that each service quality element significantly influences members’ satisfaction. Comfortable physical facilities, reliable services, high responsiveness, transaction security assurance, and empathy in member interactions play crucial roles in fostering member trust and loyalty. Despite the study's focus on a single cooperative, the findings suggest that improvements in facility quality, service reliability, staff responsiveness, transaction transparency, and empathy are essential for strengthening member relationships and enhancing satisfaction. The study also acknowledges limitations such as the focus on a single cooperative, which may limit the generalizability of the results. This study contributes to improving service management in savings and loan cooperatives and provides insights for enhancing their competitiveness in supporting members' welfare and local economies.

Abstract

This study examines the role of digital advertising and price in the sales volume of Ultra Glue products in Java, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was applied and data were collected from 50 respondents through a survey. This study evaluates the impact of promotion, price, and sales using multiple regression analysis. The results show that promotion, especially through digital marketing, has a significant impact on sales, which is in line with the literature that recognizes promotional activities as vital in stimulating consumer demand and purchase intention. On the other hand, the impact of price on sales, although positive, is more complex because it is influenced by product quality, overall strategy, and other marketing elements. This study emphasizes the importance of integrated marketing, in which digital promotions are effective, prices are competitive, and products are of good quality to maximize sales. This study also highlights external variables, such as brand loyalty and market competition, to understand consumer behavior in greater depth. We recommend using a blended approach to enrich our understanding of the consumer decision-making process.
