DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM USING WEIGHTED PRODUCT METHOD IN CHIPS MATERIAL SELECTION (CASE STUDY: HASTI FAMILY CHIPS BUSINESS)

2025-01-20T23:48:48+00:00

This study designs a decision support system to help the owner of the Hasti Family chips business choose the optimal raw materials in making cassava, banana, and breadfruit chips. The Weighted Product (WP) method is used as a multi-criteria decision-making method by considering criteria such as chip color, chip texture, chip taste, chip durability and fruit price. Criteria data and alternative raw materials are processed using WP calculations to produce the best alternative ranking. The result is a web-based decision support system that implements the WP method, presents an interface for entering data and displays the best alternative ranking. This system improves the efficiency of decision-making, minimizes the risk of selecting inappropriate raw materials, improves product quality, and supports business growth. The results of the research on the decision support system for selecting chips ingredients show that this system determines the best ingredients by finding the final value of the V vector search from 3 cassava data, 3 banana data and 3 breadfruit data that will be entered into the system and get results from butter cassava, which has the highest V value of 0.38311467, followed by wak banana with an impressive V value of 0.398763354, and Bali breadfruit, which has a prominent V value of 0.350015233. The conclusion of this study is that the designed application is able to optimize the process of selecting raw materials for chip production more efficiently, quickly, and this system not only accelerates decision making but also ensures more structured and reliable data recording.

IMPACT OF ISRAELI-HAMAS WAR ON EDUCATION/LEARNING AND LEARNERS’ MENTAL HEALTH IN ISRAEL, GAZA STRIP AND THE USA: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2024-12-05T16:48:37+00:00

Educators hope that Israel and the Gaza Strip’s experience during the corona-virus pandemic will make the management of education and learning during the current Israeli-Hamas war a little easier as education systems grapple with trauma amongst teachers and learners, on both sides of the divide. It is not clear how long this situation will last, but it definitely means putting on hold the traditional scheduled educational programmes and progress, in most instances, in favour of online and hybrid make-shift educational programmes with the hope that normalcy returns soon. In times of crisis, ideally, the population of learners affected by the crisis need clear directives and frameworks coupled with caring and sensitive teachers and frequent in-person and hybrid meetings amongst teachers and learners to provide re-assurance and hope. Notably, the main dynamic during war is the learners’ constant fear of attacks to them or their families as uncertainty looms large. This fear leads to anxiety, thereby adversely impacting the learners’ mental well-being. This paper, thus, discusses educational situation with regard to Israel, Gaza and to a limited extent, the USA, in light of the latest Israeli–Hamas conflict that began on October the 7th, 2023, following a Hamas attack on Israeli civilians leading to retaliatory attacks from Israel. Accordingly, the main impacts of the war are disruption of education systems and structures, shift to remote learning, psychological trauma and insecurity and fear amongst learners.

THE EFFECT OF CORE CAPITAL, QUALITY OF GOVERNANCE IMPLEMENTATION ON THE PROFITABILITY OF RURAL BANKS IN KALIMANTAN WITH CREDIT RISK AS A MEDIATION VARIABLE

2025-01-18T00:55:41+00:00

Rural banks (BPR) have an important role in supporting financial inclusion, especially in remote areas. This study examines the effect of core capital and governance quality on profitability with credit risk as a mediating variable at BPRs in Kalimantan during the period 2016–2023. Using quantitative methods with secondary data, the research sample consisted of 51 BPRs with 326 observations after outlier adjustment. The analysis was conducted with SPSS 26.0 using path analysis two-fold regression. The results of the study show that the first regression shows that core capital has a significant negative effect on credit risk (sig. 0.002; coefficient -0.172), the quality of governance implementation as measured by the decrease in the value of the governance composite has a significant positive effect on increasing credit risk (sig. 0.086; coefficient 0.094). The second regression shows that core capital has a significant positive effect on profitability (ROA) (sig. 0.023; coefficient 0.112), while the quality of governance implementation as indicated by the decrease in the value of the governance composite is not significant (sig. 0.338; coefficient 0.115). Credit risk was found to have a significant negative effect on profitability (sig. 0.000; coefficient -0.368). The Sobel test shows that credit risk is able to mediate the relationship between core capital and profitability (sig. 0.00380 < 0.10; Coef 0.063), and credit risk can also mediate the relationship between the quality of governance implementation and profitability (sig. 0.0933 < 0.10; Coef -0.034).

ADOPTION OF E-COMMERCE PLATFORMS AMONG KASHMIRI ENTREPRENEURS: TRENDS AND CHALLENGES

2025-01-24T12:23:26+00:00

This treatise delves into the burgeoning adoption of e-commerce platforms by Kashmiri entrepreneurs, examining the intricate dynamics underpinning this digital transformation. The study illuminates the duality of e-commerce as both an opportunity and a challenge within the unique socio-economic and geopolitical context of Kashmir. Entrepreneurs entrenched in traditional sectors such as handicrafts, horticulture, and tourism are increasingly leveraging digital platforms to amplify market access, mitigate operational expenditures, and diversify revenue streams. Despite these advancements, the region grapples with formidable impediments, including precarious internet infrastructure, pervasive digital illiteracy, and a deficit of trust in online transactions. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this inquiry amalgamates quantitative data from structured surveys and qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews, encompassing a diverse cohort of entrepreneurs. The findings elucidate critical enablers of e-commerce proliferation, such as the advent of localized platforms, the ascendancy of social media as a marketing conduit, and governmental interventions fostering digital entrepreneurship. Concurrently, the research underscores persistent barriers, including logistical conundrums, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and sociocultural constraints, particularly affecting women entrepreneurs. The study posits that a synergistic approach encompassing infrastructural enhancement, capacity-building initiatives, and tailored policy frameworks is imperative to galvanize the e-commerce ecosystem in Kashmir. By addressing these structural challenges, e-commerce could metamorphose the region’s economic paradigm, fostering resilience and empowering marginalized demographics. This paper, thus, contributes to the discourse on digital inclusivity and sustainable entrepreneurship in developing territories, presenting a compelling case for the transformative potential of digital commerce.

2025-01-24T12:26:13+00:00

MSMEs have a strategic role in supporting national economic growth, especially through their contribution to the export sector. However, many exporting MSMEs face various challenges, such as international trade risks and limited entrepreneurial orientation, which can affect their performance. To overcome these challenges, trade credit insurance is present as one of the financial solutions that helps protect MSMEs from the risk of default. In addition, entrepreneurial orientation is an important factor in encouraging MSME competitiveness and innovation. In this context, government support is expected to moderate the influence of these two factors on improving the performance of exporting MSMEs. This study aims to analyze the effect of trade credit insurance and entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of export MSMEs, by considering government support as a moderating variable. This study was conducted on the trade finance service of PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk for export MSMEs in Central Java. Data collection was conducted through a survey of 150 respondents who were export MSME actors. Data analysis used multiple linear regression methods with statistical software. The results of the study indicate that trade credit insurance has a positive and significant effect on the performance of export MSMEs, as well as entrepreneurial orientation. However, government support does not moderate the effect of trade credit insurance on the performance of export MSMEs. On the contrary, government support is proven to strengthen the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of export MSMEs. This finding indicates that MSMEs that have access to trade credit insurance services and have a high entrepreneurial orientation can improve their export performance. Government support plays an important role in strengthening the positive impact of entrepreneurial orientation on export performance. This study contributes to the development of policies that support the performance of export MSMEs, especially in optimizing trade finance services and supporting programs from the government.

MISAPPLICATION OF LAW IN THE APPEAL PROCESS FOR ANNULMENT OF ARBITRATION AWARDS

2024-12-04T15:36:44+00:00

Arbitration is increasingly recognized as an effective forum for dispute resolution. One of the key advantages of arbitration is its principle of finality and binding nature, which limits the availability of legal remedies. However, Article 70 of the Indonesian Arbitration Act paves the way for parties to submit an application for annulment of arbitral awards to the District Court, but only on specific, limited grounds. Furthermore, a party may appeal to the Supreme Court regarding the annulment of arbitration awards issued by the District Court, positioning the Supreme Court as the final arbiter in such cases. In practice, there have been instances where the Supreme Court has misapplied the law, seemingly disregarding evidence acknowledged by the District Court. This has led to significant legal uncertainty. This study aims to identify the legal misapplications made by the Supreme Court during the appeal process for annulment of arbitral awards. Utilizing a normative research methodology, this research analyzes existing laws and regulations to address these issues. The findings conclude that one of the legal standards applied by the Supreme Court during the appeal stage contradict Indonesia's arbitration law, undermining the integrity of the arbitration process.

The problem is that the use of trademarks that contain similarities is basically proven to violate the provisions of Article 21 paragraph 1 of Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications, showing that trademark law enforcement in Indonesia has not been carried out effectively that the theory of legal effectiveness according to Soekanto which states that the effectiveness of law enforcement can be influenced by certain factors, including legal factors, law enforcement factors, community factors, and cultural factors. In conclusion, the Judge has an important role in deciding the Trademark dispute case because it is to interpret the law so that it is possible for the judge to find legal value and even create a legal rule as contained in case law. These reasons or arguments are intended as the judge's accountability rather than his decision to the community, so that therefore they have objective value.

ENHANCING MSME MARKETING PERFORMANCE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT: DIGITAL CAPABILITY AND DIGITAL INNOVATION AS MEDIATING VARIABLES

2025-01-08T07:00:49+00:00

This study examines the impact of Knowledge Management (KM) on Marketing Performance in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), with Digital Capability and Digital Innovation as mediating variables. A quantitative approach was employed, analyzing data from 150 MSMEs in West Kalimantan using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that KM significantly influences Marketing Performance both directly and indirectly through Digital Innovation, which acts as a partial mediator. Conversely, Digital Capability does not significantly mediate the relationship between KM and Marketing Performance, indicating its limited role without effective integration into marketing strategies. The results underscore the crucial role of Digital Innovation in enhancing Marketing Performance, suggesting that MSMEs should prioritize innovation-driven strategies supported by robust KM practices. To achieve optimal outcomes, MSMEs are advised to integrate KM with a strong focus on Digital Innovation while improving the application of Digital Capability within their marketing frameworks. These insights provide valuable implications for managerial and policy-level interventions to bolster MSME competitiveness in the digital era.

POLICY IMPLEMENTATION APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL FROM MOVER TEACHERS IN WEST NUSA TENGGARA PROVINCE IN 2024 (IMPLEMENTATION OF MINISTER OF EDUCATION, CULTURE, RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY REGULATION NUMBER 40 OF 2021)

2024-12-04T15:39:44+00:00

The implementation of the principal appointment policy in West Nusa Tenggara Province in 2024 has not met government expectations. This policy is based on the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Regulation Number 40 of 2021 concerning the assignment of teachers as principals. The requirement for mover teacher to become principals, as stipulated in Article 2, paragraph c, has not been fully implemented, even though two years have passed since the regulation was enacted and the availability of teacher leader competency certificates has been met. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the policy of appointing principals from teacher leaders from the aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The next objective is to reveal the inhibiting and enabling factors in the implementation of the policy. This is a qualitative study using a post-positivist approach, where data processing and analysis use the DAPA (Data Analysis Procedure by Application) technique with Nvivo 12 Plus. This study found that the implementation of principal appointments in three regional governments, namely West Lombok Regency, West Sumbawa Regency, and the Provincial Government, has been carried out in stages, both manually and through the implementation of the KSPS system. In terms of communication, the policy implementation was conveyed to regional governments through the provincial education office and district/city education offices through socialization activities, workshops, and coordination meetings. Supporting resources for this policy have been almost fully provided by the government. The disposition or attitude of the implementers generally supports this policy. The bureaucratic structure of the policy has been designed by the government, so regional governments feel that there is no need to develop SOPs, supported by the use of the KSPS system, which has various advantages such as automated administrative selection, integration with the dapodik, ekinerja, PMM, and other systems that simplify the appointment communication process. The revelation of inhibiting and supporting factors, as well as the analysis of the implementation of this policy, has resulted in a new, more comprehensive, and participatory policy implementation model/strategy.

Transformational leadership, known for its ability to inspire and motivate employees, is hypothesized to have a positive influence on employee job satisfaction and turnover intention. However, this influence is suspected to be strengthened or mediated by a strong and supportive organizational culture. The research methodology is descriptive quantitative using a structured questionnaire to measure perceptions of transformational leadership, organizational culture, job satisfaction, and turnover intention with a sample size of 150 employees. The verification analysis used in this study is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) statistics with Smart PLS 4.0 software. The results of this study are expected to show that transformational leadership can significantly increase employee job satisfaction, and this effect becomes stronger in the context of a positive organizational culture, leading to lower turnover intention. These findings will provide important contributions to management theory and business practice, emphasizing the importance of transformational leadership style and organizational culture in enhancing employee well-being and company performance.

THE LIABILITY OF FREIGHT FORWARDING SERVICE PROVIDERS AND CONSUMER PROTECTION CONCERNING THE LOSS OF GOODS IN SHIPMENT

2024-11-30T12:56:22+00:00

This study aims to analyze the liability of expedition service providers and consumer protection related to the loss of goods, focusing on Decision Number 62/Pdt.Sus-BPSK/2023/PN.Mkd. The expedition business has significant growth potential, driven by increasing logistics demands, which encourages courier companies to offer various delivery services. However, these services are not always satisfactory, as issues of lost goods frequently occur. Such incidents can be categorized as breaches of contract since expedition companies failed to fulfill their obligations to consumers, raising questions about the liability of business actors and consumer protection against the loss of goods during shipment. This research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory approach. The findings indicate that business actors are obliged to compensate for the value of the lost goods in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law. In the case of J&T Cargo, the compensation offered was significantly below the value of the lost goods, resulting in consumer dissatisfaction and prompting objections to be filed in court. This study recommends stricter enforcement of the law to protect consumers and ensure that business actors fulfill their obligations under applicable legal provisions. It also highlights the importance of resolving disputes through legal channels to provide certainty for consumers and improve service quality in the goods delivery industry.
