Crisis Communication Strategies in Addressing Internal Conflicts Among Scout Members at State Junior High School 3 Losari Department of Communication Studies Faculty of Social and Political Sciences

2026-06-04T09:59:46+00:00

The school setting plays a key role in shaping students' character and leadership through scouting activities; however, internal dynamics can lead to conflicts that may escalate into crises, making effective conflict management and communication essential for maintaining organizational reputation. This study examines the internal issues and communication tactics of the scouting organization at State Junior High School 3 Losari, and explores how these factors shape the organization's image. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data gathered through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using Coombs' Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT). The findings reveal that unequal distribution of responsibilities, communication breakdowns, and differing perspectives are the primary sources of internal conflict, which are addressed through crisis communication mechanisms including denial, consequence mitigation, relationship building, and problem-solving collectively helping to restore trust, unity, and organizational reputation. While the study underscores the importance of clear communication in scouting organizations, its limitations in scope and potential subjectivity suggest the need for future research with broader focus and more diverse methods.

Retrofitting Digestate Recirculation System to Improve Methane Yield in Anaerobic Digestion

2026-06-05T02:17:14+00:00

Digestate recirculation has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance methane production. By reintroducing acclimatized microorganisms and residual biodegradable compounds into Anaerobic digestion (AD) system, this approach can potentially improve process stability and biogas quality. To systematically evaluate these effects, modeling and simulation offer a reliable framework for assessing methane yield. This study aims to assess the feasibility of simulating methane production from an anaerobic digestion reactor using food waste (FW) as the primary feedstock, incorporating a digestate recirculation system. It is hypothesized that recirculated digestate, due to its high organic content and catalytic properties, can effectively enhance biogas quality and optimize energy recovery from the system. A process flow diagram was developed in Aspen Plus® version, incorporating the four main biochemical stages: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis. The Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL) thermodynamic model was applied to represent polar mixture components, and a total of 46 governing equations were implemented to describe anaerobic digestion kinetics and mass balances. Model performance was validated against data reported in previous studies. Simulation results indicate that increasing the recirculation ratio up to 30% into feedstock mixture enhances both methane up to 25% higher compared to baseline and biogas production up to 32% higher than baseline. The findings demonstrate that the usage of recirculated digestate could improve the biogas quality. The developed modeling framework shows strong potential for scalability and can be applied to optimize methane production in anaerobic digestion systems with similar feedstock compositions and operating conditions.

Psychoeducation and Resilience Building for Students from Broken Homes: an Intervention Study at SMKN 1 Girisubo

2026-06-17T04:10:16+00:00

The phenomenon of broken home families is a significant risk factor for adolescent mental health, particularly in terms of emotion regulation and resilience. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of a psychoeducation and resilience-building program for students from broken home families at SMKN 1 Girisubo. The study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 37 students. The intervention was carried out through psychoeducation, emotion regulation training, and the strengthening of coping strategies. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test. The results showed no significant differences in the variables of broken home status (p = 0.715) and resilience (p = 0.947). However, descriptively, there was an increase in students’ psychological understanding. These findings indicate that short-term interventions were not yet effective in increasing resilience; therefore, a more intensive and sustainable approach is needed.

Development of Service Innovations and Literacy Regarding The Keretaku App to Enhance Customer Satisfaction for Honda Motorcycles at PT Cakra Adi Dharma

2026-06-08T08:01:01+00:00

Almost all companies in marketing and their business, starting from sales and service, make consumer satisfaction as the main variable or key or priority weapon in practice, both in promotional and marketing practices that have an impact on increasing sales. The purpose of this study is to prove the partial and simultaneous influence between the variables of service innovation and literacy of the KERETAKU application on consumer satisfaction. The population in this study is all permanent customers registered with PT Cakra Adi Dharma Rantauprapat from January to May 2025 as many as 231 people and samples from the slovin formula were obtained 146 people. The data analysis tool used in this study is multiple linear regression, where this analysis tool is a statistical tool consisting of Validityand Reliability, Classical Assumption Test, Partial Test (t-Test), Simultaneous Test (F Test) and Coefficient of Determination (R2). From the results of the respondent profile research, most respondents who visited PT Cakra Adi Dharma Rantauprapat had used the KERETAKU application while others had not used it. Meanwhile, the results of the study partially show that the variable of Service Innovation is a variable that has a very good influence on consumer satisfaction. The literacy variable of the KERETA application partially has no effect on consumer satisfaction. However, simultaneously the variable of Service Innovation and the variable of KERETAKU Application Literacy have a good effect on consumer satisfaction.

From Lowest Unit Price to Lowest Total Supply Risk: A System Shift Framework for Resilience in the Global Generic Pharmaceutical Industry

2026-06-05T02:17:47+00:00

Generic medicines are routinely framed as a success of price competition, yet recent evidence suggests that the same competitive architecture which lowers unit prices may also weaken supply resilience. Drug shortages, approved-but-unlaunched generics, geographically concentrated active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production, sterile-injectable vulnerabilities, and the rising technical complexity of biosimilars indicate that the global generic pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a deeper system transition. This article developed a System Shift framework to analyse these structural challenges, linking seven analytical factors: system condition, domain lock, actors, chokepoints, position, strategy, and feedback. Using a public-source qualitative comparative case analysis of twenty companies across global, Indian, European, North American, Chinese, Korean, South African, and Southeast Asian contexts, the paper identifies recurring patterns of vulnerability and strategic adaptation. The analysis shows that generic firms are not a homogeneous low-margin group; they include global off-patent platforms, vertically integrated Indian exporters, sterile-injectable specialists, biosimilar platforms, regional branded-generic leaders, and national manufacturers. Across these archetypes, the dominant feedback signal remains lowest unit price, while quality maturity, supplier redundancy, and launch reliability remain weakly rewarded. The central conclusion is that generic pharmaceutical governance must shift from a cheapest-unit paradigm toward a lowest-total-supply-risk paradigm. Procurement, regulation, and corporate strategy must incorporate multi-award tendering, explicit supply-security criteria, accelerated regulatory variation pathways, resilient API sourcing, and transparent shortage-prevention feedback loops. The paper contributes a conceptual and policy framework for reinterpreting generic medicines as resilience infrastructure rather than merely low-cost therapeutic substitutes.

Legal Protection of Workers Against Overtime Work Practices Without Wage Payment Based on Law Number 6 of 2023 Concerning Job Creation

2026-06-19T15:36:12+00:00

Problems regarding the implementation of overtime work without the payment of overtime wages are still frequently found in employment relationships, even though the protection of these rights has been regulated under Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation and Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021. This study aims to examine the forms of legal protection for workers who do not receive overtime wages and to analyze the law enforcement mechanisms applied to companies that disregard workers’ normative rights. This study uses a normative juridical method with a conceptual approach, strengthened by interview data from the Manpower Office, the Regional Technical Implementation Unit (Unit Pelaksana Teknis Daerah/UPTD) for Manpower Supervision Region III Cirebon, and workers. The results of the study show that the provision of overtime wages is a legal obligation that must be fulfilled by companies for workers who work beyond normal working hours. However, violations of this obligation still occur for various reasons, including limitations in companies’ financial conditions and companies’ operational demands. Legal protection for workers is carried out through preventive measures in the form of guidance, public dissemination, and labor supervision, as well as repressive measures through inspections, the issuance of inspection memorandums, and the application of criminal sanctions. These findings show that the effectiveness of legal protection for overtime wage rights still requires strengthened supervision and law enforcement so that workers’ normative rights can be optimally fulfilled.

Risk Analysis of the Supply Chain of Building Project Construction Materials (Hasna Medika Majalengka Heart Clinic)

2026-06-04T10:00:42+00:00

This research aims to analyze risks in the construction material supply chain to ensure the efficiency and success of the project. The study focuses on the strategic project for the construction of the Hasna Medika Heart Clinic Building in Majalengka, where the dependence on material availability and supply chain complexity makes risk management crucial to prevent delays and cost overruns. The research methods used are a mixture of qualitative and quantitative, including field observations, interviews, and preliminary and main surveys to seven and ten expert respondents from contractors and suppliers. Data are analyzed to identify and assess the frequency of risk emergence. The results of the study identified 18 risk variables. The analysis shows differences in antara_kontraktor_dan_supplier perceptions of the most sering_terjadi risiko_yang. The contractor noted the main risk on the change of order (A2, 27.78%), additional requests from the owner (A5, 25.93%), and increases in material prices (A16, 27.78%). Meanwhile, suppliers are more concerned about inaccurate schedules from contractors (A1, 25.93%) and delivery delays due to payment problems (A9, 25.93%). However, both sides reached consensus on two of the most critical risks that are equally frequent, namely ineffective communication (A12) and rising material prices (A16). In conclusion, effective communication and price fluctuation management are the key priorities for mitigating supply chain risks in construction projects, and contractors and suppliers should establish transparent coordination mechanisms and adaptive budget planning to prevent delays and cost overruns.

The Effect of Massage for The Common Cold Using Syzygium Aromaticum on Reducing Cough Symptoms in Toddlers at The Dede Child Health Center in Purwakarta in 2026

2026-06-15T03:49:55+00:00

Cough and cold symptoms in toddlers, as part of Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), remain a common health problem with a high incidence rate. Common Cold Massage using Syzygium aromaticum is believed to provide relaxation and anti-inflammatory effects that may help relieve respiratory symptoms. This study aims to evaluate changes in cough and cold symptoms among toddlers following Common Cold Massage using Syzygium aromaticum at TPMB Dede Purwakarta, West Java, Indonesia, in 2026. This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design and was conducted at an independent midwifery practice (TPMB Dede Purwakarta) from February to May 2026. A total of 50 toddlers who met the inclusion criteria were recruited using total sampling. Data were collected using a cough and cold symptom observation sheet, a massage standard operating procedure checklist, and a questionnaire. Changes in symptom scores before and after the intervention were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Cough and cold symptom scores significantly decreased following Common Cold Massage using Syzygium aromaticum (p = 0.001). Moderate symptoms decreased from 82% before the intervention to 10% after the intervention, while 16% of toddlers experienced no symptoms after treatment. These findings indicate an association between the intervention and reduced symptom severity. Common Cold Massage using Syzygium aromaticum was associated with a significant reduction in cough and cold symptoms among toddlers at TPMB Dede Purwakarta in 2026. However, the absence of a control group and the use of a single study setting may limit causal inference and the generalizability of the findings.

An Analysis of the Use of Music as Stroke Therapy Among the Congregation of GBI Victory Poris Indah

2026-06-22T04:11:51+00:00

This research aims to analyze the use of music as a therapeutic intervention in the stroke recovery process of a pastor from GBI Victory Poris Indah, who served as the main subject (HK). Stroke is a neurological disorder that not only affects physical function but also causes psychological problems such as anxiety, stress, and reduced quality of life. This research employs a qualitative approach with a narrative descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving three informants, including the main subject and two companions during the recovery process. The findings reveal that HK unconsciously applied music therapy through three main activities: listening to spiritual and instrumental music, singing combined with breathing exercises, and writing as well as composing song lyrics. These activities were performed consistently every day during the post-stroke recovery period. The results indicate positive changes in emotional, physiological, and cognitive conditions, including reduced anxiety levels, improved emotional stability, enhanced speech function, and gradual recovery of motor abilities. Theoretically, the findings support the concept of brain neuroplasticity, which suggests that repeated stimulation such as music can promote the formation of new neural connections in damaged brain areas. Moreover, music acts as a positive distraction that reduces sympathetic nervous system activity. Therefore, music can be considered a potential non-pharmacological intervention that supports independent and holistic stroke rehabilitation.
