<![CDATA[The performance of nurses plays a crucial role in determining the quality of health services in hospitals. This study aims to examine the effect of motivation and work environment on nurses’ performance at Tidore Islands City General Hospital. The total population consisted of 160 nurses, and the sample size was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan table, resulting in 113 respondents. A quantitative research design was applied, and data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Multiple linear regression analysis, along with t-tests and F-tests, was employed to assess the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable. The results indicate that both motivation (X1) and work environment (X2) have a positive and significant impact on nurses’ performance. These findings suggest that when nurses are provided with adequate motivation and supported by a conducive work environment, their performance improves significantly. Conversely, insufficient motivation and poor working conditions can lead to a decline in performance levels. The study emphasizes the importance of hospital management in creating strategies to enhance motivation and improve the work environment as a means to optimize nurses’ performance. These implications are particularly relevant for hospital administrators and policymakers aiming to strengthen human resource management in the healthcare sector.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the impact of marketing communication on consumers’ purchase intention toward Herbalife products in Tidore. The research was conducted to understand how marketing communication efforts—such as message clarity, credibility, and channel effectiveness—affect consumers’ behavioral intentions in a localized market context. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to Herbalife consumers in Tidore. A simple linear regression analysis was employed to test the hypothesized relationship between marketing communication and purchase intention. The results revealed a positive but statistically insignificant relationship, indicating that while effective communication contributes to forming consumer awareness and interest, it may not directly lead to purchase intention without the support of other influencing factors such as trust, satisfaction, or perceived product value. Theoretically, the findings reinforce the importance of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) principles, which emphasize consistency and credibility across multiple communication channels. Practically, the study suggests that Herbalife distributors should focus on relationship-based communication, transparent product education, and authentic testimonials to build stronger consumer trust and engagement. Limitations of this study include the narrow geographical scope and the use of a single independent variable, which may not capture the full dynamics of consumer purchase behavior.]]>

<![CDATA[This study provides a comprehensive systematic and critical review of the competency-based education (CBE) reform movement across developing countries. Over the past two decades, CBE has emerged as a global paradigm shift emphasizing learning outcomes, skill mastery, and lifelong adaptability. Yet, despite its conceptual appeal, the translation of CBE into effective educational practice in developing contexts remains highly uneven. Drawing upon 112 peer-reviewed journal articles and policy documents published between 2000 and 2025, this review explores three major themes: (1) the philosophical and policy foundations of CBE reform; (2) the implementation challenges faced by education systems with limited institutional capacity; and (3) the pedagogical and assessment innovations required for competency-based learning to succeed. Findings reveal that while CBE reform has stimulated discourse on educational quality, equity, and employability, its enactment often suffers from misalignment between curriculum design, teacher training, and evaluation systems. The paper concludes by proposing a multidimensional framework for rethinking CBE reform that integrates local knowledge, cultural contextualization, and systemic governance approaches. This review contributes to global educational reform scholarship by highlighting the dialectic tension between global policy transfer and contextual adaptation in developing world settings.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the effectiveness of an Indigenous cultural-based learning (ICBL) approach in enhancing spatial reasoning among Canadian secondary school students. Recognizing that spatial thinking is a foundational skill for mathematics, science, and geography education, the research explores how integrating Indigenous cultural knowledge—particularly First Nations’ geometric patterns, Inuit mapping traditions, and Métis beadwork symmetry—can support students’ conceptual understanding of spatial relationships. A quasi-experimental design was implemented with 238 Grade 9 students from two public secondary schools in British Columbia. The experimental group received twelve weeks of geometry instruction incorporating Indigenous cultural contexts, while the control group followed a conventional curriculum. Spatial reasoning was measured using the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Rotation (PSVT:R) and a spatial problem-solving assessment developed for this study. ANCOVA results revealed a significant improvement in spatial reasoning scores in the experimental group (F(1,235)=18.72, p<0.001, η²=0.074), indicating that culturally embedded pedagogies effectively enhanced students’ spatial understanding. Qualitative feedback from students also highlighted greater engagement, cultural appreciation, and cognitive flexibility. The findings contribute to growing evidence on the pedagogical value of cultural responsiveness in STEM education and underscore the importance of integrating Indigenous knowledge as a legitimate epistemological framework in Canadian classrooms.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of digital financial inclusion in improving the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) post-COVID-19 pandemic through a Systematic Literature Review approach. The literature was collected from indexed databases, Google Scholar, and DOAJ, with a publication period of 2016–2025. The study results indicate that digital transformation, fintech service integration, and digital financial literacy are key pillars that support each other in promoting financial inclusion and MSME sustainability. Digital transformation improves operational efficiency and financial performance, fintech services expand access to financing and promote transparency, while digital financial literacy serves as the foundation for the effective and equitable use of financial technology. However, the study also identified significant gaps in the form of varying MSME digital readiness, limited infrastructure, low digital literacy among vulnerable communities, and regulatory uncertainty that limit optimal implementation. These findings emphasize the need for an integrative strategy that combines digitalization, financial education, and supporting policies to promote more equitable financial inclusion and MSME sustainability post-pandemic.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the proportional distribution of human resource (HR) and material costs in building construction projects, using the Rectorate Building construction at Nurul Hasan University as a case study. Efficient cost allocation is a critical component of construction project management, as imbalances between labor and material expenditures can lead to budget overruns, schedule delays, and compromised quality. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach, this research analyzes official project documents, including the Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and standardized unit price analyses, to determine the relative contributions of HR and material costs across major work categories. The findings indicate that material expenditures significantly dominate project spending, accounting for 80% of the total direct cost, while HR costs represent only 20%. Work categories such as reinforced concrete, masonry, roofing, and carpentry demonstrate strong material dependency due to the high cost of construction materials such as steel, cement, aggregates, timber, and prefabricated components. In contrast, preparatory and early-stage works show a higher proportion of labor costs, reflecting their reliance on manual activities. The study also evaluates indirect costs and contractor profit margins, revealing that non-resource expenditures constitute 10% of the total project value, and the contractor’s profit margin stands at 9.1%, both of which fall within acceptable industry standards. These results highlight that while material management plays a decisive role in cost efficiency, effective labor allocation and supervision remain essential for ensuring construction quality. Overall, the research offers valuable insights for practitioners seeking to improve cost control strategies in medium-scale building construction projects.]]>

<![CDATA[Road infrastructure along the Kalaodi–Fabaharu corridor in Tidore Kepulauan has exhibited varying levels of surface deterioration, highlighting the need for an objective and standardized evaluation to determine appropriate treatment priorities. This study aims to assess the condition of flexible pavement using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method while also identifying key factors contributing to the observed damage. Field surveys were conducted on twenty selected road segments to record distress types, severity levels, and the extent of deterioration in accordance with ASTM D6433-11 guidelines. These data were then used to calculate PCI values, enabling the classification of pavement conditions across the study area. The findings show that PCI values range from 15 to 56, with an overall average of 27.48, indicating that the general pavement condition falls within the "Poor" category. The most prevalent distress types identified include alligator cracking, potholes, and raveling, which are primarily associated with inadequate drainage systems, environmental influences such as rainfall and surface runoff, and the lack of routine maintenance, rather than significant traffic loading. These contributing factors collectively accelerate pavement degradation and reduce structural performance over time. Based on the assessment results, the study concludes that the analyzed road corridor requires a phased and prioritized repair strategy. Immediate interventions should focus on patching critical failures and improving drainage performance to prevent further deterioration. Subsequent actions should include periodic rehabilitation for moderately damaged segments and full reconstruction for road sections exhibiting severe structural distress. This systematic approach is essential to restoring pavement functionality and ensuring long-term serviceability of the Kalaodi–Fabaharu road network.]]>

<![CDATA[Access to safe drinking water remains a major challenge in many rural communities, including Kosa Village in Tidore Kepulauan, North Maluku, where borehole wells serve as the primary water source for domestic use. This study aims to assess the physical, chemical, and microbiological quality of borehole water in three hamlets of Kosa Village and to identify the potential factors contributing to water discoloration and odor frequently reported by residents. A descriptive analytical design was employed, and water samples were collected and analyzed at the UPT Puskesmas Soasio Laboratory from March to July 2025, following standardized APHA procedures. The results show that all sampling locations failed to meet national drinking water standards (PERMENKES No. 2/2023) for several physical parameters, including odor, color, turbidity, temperature, and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Chemical analysis indicated that residual chlorine levels in Hamlet 1 exceeded permissible limits (0.8 mg/L), while all other chemical and microbiological parameters in Hamlets 2 and 3 remained within the acceptable range. The deterioration in physical quality across all hamlets is likely influenced by geological characteristics, high iron and manganese content, domestic waste infiltration, and inadequate well maintenance. The findings highlight the need for regular monitoring, community-based water treatment strategies, and improved sanitation practices to ensure safe and sustainable access to drinking water in Kosa Village.]]>
