<![CDATA[This study evaluates the structural feasibility of Building H at PT Phapros Tbk Semarang under existing conditions and after the planned addition of machinery loads. The assessment combined visual inspection, non-destructive testing using Rebound Hammer, Rebar Detector, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, carbonation testing, and structural analysis using ETABS. Structural performance was evaluated according to SNI 2847:2019, SNI 1726:2019, and SNI 1727:2020. The results show that the existing concrete condition was generally adequate, while structural deficiencies were identified in several critical components. Inter-story drift in the upper stories exceeded the allowable limit, indicating insufficient seismic performance. Beam sections generally satisfied flexural requirements, although several support regions were inadequate in shear. The columns did not satisfy the Strong Column–Weak Beam requirement and showed deficiencies in flexural, shear, and confinement performance. After the addition of machinery loads, column axial and bending demands increased considerably, while the maximum slab moment increased from 6.44 to 18.58 kN·m but remained below its reduced flexural capacity of 37.09 kN·m. Structural strengthening, particularly of the column system, is required before the additional machinery is permanently installed. ]]>

<![CDATA[Sambal tempoyak is a traditional fermented food product with distinctive acidic and aromatic characteristics, but its high moisture content limits stability and practical application as an instant cube product. This study aimed to optimize drying temperature and time to obtain sambal tempoyak cubes with desirable physicochemical and microbiological characteristics. An experimental design using Response Surface Methodology with a Central Composite Design was applied to evaluate drying temperatures of 40–60°C and drying times of 2–4 hours. Moisture content, water activity (Aw), pH, and total lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were analyzed as response variables, followed by multi-response optimization and verification of the predicted optimum condition. The optimum treatment was obtained at 58°C for 2.4 hours with a desirability value of 0.894. Verification produced 32.57% moisture content, 0.69 Aw, pH 3.67, and 4.083 Log CFU/g LAB, closely corresponding to the predicted values of 30%, 0.70, 3.69, and 4.054 Log CFU/g, respectively. GC-MS analysis showed that drying modified the volatile profile, particularly reducing Butanoic acid, 2-methyl- and its ethyl ester, while these characteristic compounds remained detectable after drying. The optimized condition provides a balanced approach to moisture reduction, microbiological stability, acidity maintenance, LAB retention, and partial preservation of volatile characteristics in sambal tempoyak cubes.]]>

<![CDATA[The SEHAT Program (Sekolah Hijau Tenda/Green Tent School) is an environmental education initiative designed to strengthen students’ environmental literacy and pro-environmental practices through integrated school-based activities. This study evaluated the 2024 SEHAT Program by examining its implementation structure, learning contributions, alignment with green school principles, evidence strength, and potential for generating sustainable outcomes. A descriptive evaluative approach using a document-based single-case design was employed, with the 2024 SEHAT Program Report serving as the primary data source. The analysis reconstructed the program through an input-process-output-initial outcome framework, mapped activities across cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and creative learning domains, and examined their alignment with the four Green School Quality domains. The findings indicate that environmental orientation, waste literacy and reuse workshops, recycled-art competition, environmental study tours, school gardening, climate-change education, and three-color waste bins were implemented as complementary learning components. The program demonstrated strong implementation evidence and diverse learning opportunities, particularly in teaching and learning. However, baseline and post-test assessments, repeated behavioral observations, waste audits, garden sustainability records, and institutional indicators were unavailable, preventing causal verification of changes in environmental literacy or behavior. Future development should strengthen curriculum integration, environmental governance, behavioral monitoring, operational management, and sustained community engagement.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effects of financial literacy, financial confidence, and locus of control on financial well-being, with financial behavior as a mediating variable among the productive-age population in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). The study employed a quantitative explanatory research design involving 400 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an online questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS. The results show that financial literacy has no significant effect on either financial behavior or financial well-being. Financial confidence has a positive and significant effect on financial behavior but does not have a significant direct effect on financial well-being. Locus of control has positive and significant effects on both financial behavior and financial well-being, while financial behavior positively and significantly affects financial well-being. Financial behavior does not mediate the relationship between financial literacy and financial well-being, but fully mediates the relationship between financial confidence and financial well-being and partially mediates the relationship between locus of control and financial well-being. These findings indicate that improving financial well-being requires not only financial knowledge but also financial confidence, personal control, and consistent implementation of responsible financial behavior. The findings provide practical implications for strengthening financial well-being programs by integrating financial education with behavioral and psychological interventions. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study analyzes how the design of Formula Motor TV’s YouTube content contributes to strengthening the credibility of a used-car showroom. Using a quantitative approach supported by content analysis and questionnaire data from 42 respondents, the study evaluates audience characteristics, audiovisual quality, host competence, information transparency, engagement, and trust-related responses. The findings show that YouTube is the dominant information-search platform among respondents and that most participants are familiar with Formula Motor TV. The channel applies structured pre-production, production, and post-production processes through SPK, BISIK, and showroom tour formats. Visual quality, clear audio, coherent editing, competent presenters, and transparent explanations of vehicle specifications, conditions, strengths, and weaknesses collectively enhance the perceived professionalism and reliability of the showroom. These elements reduce information uncertainty, support audience understanding, and contribute to trust formation and purchase-related consideration. The study concludes that professionally designed, informative, and transparent YouTube content can function as a strategic credibility-building mechanism for used-car showrooms, although the descriptive design does not establish direct causality with actual purchases. The findings provide practical guidance for automotive businesses seeking stronger digital communication and consumer relationships. ]]>

<![CDATA[Flexible pavement, particularly Asphalt Concrete Wearing Course (AC-WC), requires adequate mechanical and volumetric performance to withstand traffic loading and environmental exposure. This study evaluates the performance of AC-WC incorporating Styrofoam (Expanded Polystyrene) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) as polymer additives and identifies the best-performing mixture composition. An empirical experimental design was applied through controlled laboratory testing using Styrofoam contents of 0%, 2%, 4%, and 8% and PVC contents of 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3%. Mixture performance was evaluated using Marshall Stability, Flow, Marshall Quotient (MQ), Void in Mix (VIM), Void in Mineral Aggregate (VMA), and Void Filled with Asphalt (VFA). The results identified Sample 2, containing 4% Styrofoam and 2% PVC, as the best-performing composition. The mixture achieved a Stability of 3040.27 kg, Flow of 3.00 mm, MQ of 608.05 kg/mm, VIM of 3.60%, VMA of 16.43%, and VFA of 89.15%. These values satisfied the adopted AC-WC requirements and demonstrated more favorable mechanical and volumetric characteristics than the conventional mixture. The findings indicate that the tested combination of Styrofoam and PVC can enhance AC-WC performance under controlled laboratory conditions. This modification particularly improved load-bearing capacity, deformation response, and internal mixture characteristics. The results provide an empirical basis for further development of polymer-modified AC-WC mixtures for sustainable pavement applications. ]]>

<![CDATA[Research downstreaming is an important mechanism for increasing the societal utilization of knowledge, innovations, and practical solutions generated by higher education institutions. Research and Community Service (PKM) activities provide complementary pathways through which academic knowledge can be developed, tested, transferred, and utilized by external users. This study aims to map the research and PKM activities of lecturers at the Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences (FIKK), Yogyakarta State University (UNY), during 2023–2025 and examine their potential contribution to downstreaming. The study employed a descriptive-quantitative approach based on systematic document analysis of institutional records. Data were classified according to study program, year, activity type, potential output, prospective users, and possible utilization pathways, and were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The results identified 477 activities, comprising 279 research activities (58.49%) and 198 PKM activities (41.51%) across five study programs. Sports Science recorded the highest number of activities with 151 activities, followed by Sport Coaching Education with 127 and Physical Education, Health, and Recreation with 120. The annual distribution also indicated a gradual shift toward a more balanced composition between research and PKM, with the PKM proportion increasing from 36.27% in 2023 to 45.89% in 2025. The findings indicate that research and PKM can support downstreaming through output development, implementation, knowledge transfer, adoption, and sustainable utilization. However, activity volume alone cannot demonstrate downstreaming success, requiring stronger institutional linkages among research outputs, PKM, end-users, implementation pathways, and continued utilization. ]]>

<![CDATA[Religious conversion among indigenous communities can create a distinctive form of vulnerability when converts lose customary support networks before developing stable relationships within their new religious community. Existing empowerment and social resilience perspectives provide limited explanation of situations in which religious identity reconstruction and community empowerment occur simultaneously. This study examined how community-based empowerment by Muhammadiyah preachers strengthened social resilience among Baduy Luar Muslim converts in Kampung Cepak Buah and Corogol, Lebak, Banten, and developed a conceptual model of the process. A qualitative case study involved 15 informants selected through purposive and snowball sampling, comprising five Muhammadiyah preachers and ten supporting informants, including converts, customary leaders, village officials, religious figures, and institutional representatives. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and documentary analysis, with credibility supported through source, technique, and temporal triangulation. Thematic analysis examined patterns of religious identity reconstruction, cultural legitimacy, economic empowerment, social participation, collective capacity, and resilience. Five interconnected strategies emerged: culturally adaptive da'wah, productive economic empowerment, educational and institutional development, theological and social harmonization, and multi-stakeholder networking. Their interaction strengthened spiritual grounding, social solidarity, economic capacity, and collective agency, while supporting a transition from individual to organizational and community-level empowerment. The study proposes Community-Based Religious Resilience as an emerging model in which spiritual, social, and economic capacities jointly support collective adaptation and religious continuity.]]>

<![CDATA[Danau Perintis faces interconnected challenges involving plastic waste management and the limited availability of distinctive tourism merchandise that represents the destination. This study develops an eco-visual branding approach by transforming discarded plastic bottle caps into functional keychains that combine local visual identity, ecological narratives, and practical utility. An exploratory research and development design was implemented through the Double Diamond stages of Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver, supported by field observation, informal manager interviews, material experimentation, prototyping, documentation, simulated market testing, and descriptive evaluation. The development produced twelve keychains under the brand identity Perintis by Aruna with the tagline “From Waste to Worth.” All twelve units were sold at IDR 20,000 per unit during a campus-based exhibition, generating IDR 240,000 in gross revenue and providing initial evidence of product acceptance within the tested environment. The findings further demonstrate that material transformation can function as part of destination storytelling by connecting waste origin, local visual elements, product utility, and consumer interaction. The study formulates the Eco-Visual Branding Loop, integrating ecological input, material transformation, local visual identity, digital storytelling, AISAS activation, and market feedback. The model provides a practical framework for developing circular tourism merchandise while requiring further validation through larger-scale production, consumer profiling, material safety testing, and longitudinal digital communication measurement.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the total phenolic content (TPC), added value, and financial feasibility of anaerobically fermented Robusta coffee instant powder using maltodextrin as a carrier at a concentration of 6% (A2B3). The experiment employed a factorial Completely Randomized Design involving gum arabic and maltodextrin at concentrations of 0%, 4%, and 6%. Total phenolic content was analyzed using analysis of variance followed by a 5% HSD test, while financial feasibility was evaluated using the B/C ratio, NPV, and IRR. Added value and the remuneration of production factors were assessed using the Hayami method. The A2B3 treatment produced a TPC of 4.75%, indicating high retention of measurable phenolic compounds after spray drying. The financial simulation resulted in a B/C ratio of 1.04, an NPV of Rp39,034,664, and an IRR of 23.89%, exceeding the simulated 8% discount rate. The Hayami analysis showed a conversion factor of 0.235, an added value of Rp10,175/kg, and an added-value ratio of 34.64%, classified within the medium category. A2B3 also generated the highest annual output of 2,115 kg and annual profit of Rp30,213,000. These findings indicate that 6% maltodextrin can support phenolic retention, processing value addition, and positive financial performance under the simulated production conditions. ]]>
