The 87.3% contribution rate demonstrates that the tiered approval system plays an important role in improving data accuracy, transparency, and accountability in the verification process. The study suggests enhancing digital infrastructure to accelerate approval workflows and providing regular user training to optimize VMS-based verification controls.

The Illusion of International Development: Authoritarian Infrastructuralism and Spin Dictatorship in the Laos-China Railway

Honest Dody Molasy — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Large-scale market integration and infrastructure development have long been regarded as accelerators of political liberalization in the Global South, according to conventional modernization theory. A significant exception to this assumption, however, is the operationalization of the Laos–China Railway (LCR). This massive undertaking has ironically reinforced the authoritarian tenacity of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) rather than promoting democratic liberalization. This article argues that the LCR serves more as a tool for political survival than as a means of transportation, drawing on Spin Dictatorship theory. The regime uses the project to construct a concept of Performative Modernity—an impressive display of technological prowess designed to project performance credibility while concealing systemic oppression and financial instability. The analysis demonstrates how the LPRP manipulates the narrative of “transforming from land-locked to land-linked” to justify exclusionary development through a qualitative case study employing process tracing. By introducing the concept of Authoritarian Infrastructuralism and challenging the liberal institutionalist perspective, this study shows that infrastructural connectivity can be effectively decoupled from democratic transformation, thereby supporting the consolidation of contemporary autocracy.

Impact of Tax Consultant Service Quality and Tax System on Taxpayer Compliance, Moderated By Sanctions

Samsiah Samsiah, Acep Komara, Irwan S. Wahdiat — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Taxpayer compliance remains a critical challenge in Indonesia’s tax revenue optimization, despite ongoing reforms in administration and enforcement. Corporate taxpayers often face complexities in the self-assessment system, leading to reliance on professional tax consultants. However, the interplay between consultant service quality, the tax administration system, and the role of sanctions in shaping compliance behavior has not been comprehensively examined, particularly in regional contexts. This research aims to analyze the influence of tax consultant service quality and the tax administration system on taxpayer compliance, with tax sanctions as a moderating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected from 106 corporate taxpayers registered at the Samsiah Tax Consultant Office in Cirebon, West Java, selected through saturation sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) via SPSS. The findings reveal that tax consultant service quality, the tax administration system, and tax sanctions each have a positive and significant direct effect on taxpayer compliance. Improvements in administrative systems and consultant professionalism significantly reduce the compliance burden and enhance adherence to tax regulations. However, the moderation test indicates that tax sanctions do not moderate the relationship between service quality or the administration system and taxpayer compliance. This study concludes that while tax sanctions function effectively as an independent deterrent, enhancing the quality of consultant services and the efficiency of the tax administration system should be prioritized as primary strategies for improving taxpayer compliance. The findings provide theoretical contributions to the attribution and deterrence frameworks and offer practical implications for tax authorities and consultants in designing targeted compliance interventions.

Caries Management and Vertical Dimension Modification Using Stainless Steel Crowns in Pediatric Patients with Multiple Carries: Case Reports

Rima Nur Lesmanawati, Naninda Berliana Pratidina — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Dental caries is the most common chronic oral disease in children and remains the leading cause of tooth structural loss. In the case of some caries, extensive destruction can result in a reduction in the vertical dimensions of the occlusion, which can negatively impact chewing, speech, aesthetics, and even craniofacial development. Therefore, a comprehensive management strategy is essential, combining caries elimination, dental restoration, and occlusal rehabilitation. Stainless Steel Crown (SSC) is considered a reliable restorative material in pediatric dentistry due to its durability, full-coverage protection, and ability to reconstruct occlusal vertical dimensions. This case report aims to describe the management of multiple caries in pediatric patients using SSC as a definitive restoration and tool for vertical dimension modification. A 5-year-old girl was presented with some caries involving several primary molars, accompanied by a decrease in vertical dimensions. Clinical and radiographic evaluation confirmed extensive carius lesions. Treatment involves caries removal and pulp therapy on the indicated tooth, followed by the placement of SSCs on the severely affected molars. SSC restoration successfully restored occlusal contact and corrected the loss of vertical dimensions. The use of SSC in this case not only provides long-term protection for the primary caryrius molars but also restores occlusal balance through vertical dimensional adjustment. This results in improved chewing, patient comfort, and functional stability with no reported complications. SSC thus has the dual role of a restorative solution and a tool for occlusal rehabilitation. SSC is an effective treatment modality in pediatric patients with multiple caries, offering structural preservation and modification of vertical dimensions. Its application supports optimal oral function, comfort, better eating behavior, and weight gain.

The Relationship Between Depression Symptoms Measured by The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Blood Sugar Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Outpatient Patients at Raden Achmad Basoeni General Hospital, Mojokerto, East Java, 2025

Shehnaz Neisa Rasyid, I Ketut Tirka Nandaka, Diah Purwaningsari — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The purpose of this research was to determine the correlation of depressive symptoms in patients with T2DM on 2-hour postprandial (PP) blood sugar levels. This research was an analytical observational (quantitative) study with a cross-sectional design and a simple random sampling technique. This study was conducted at R.A Basoeni Regional General Hospital, Mojokerto, East Java. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), while 2-hour PP blood sugar levels were measured using a glucometer conducted in July-August 2025 with 101 respondents. The data obtained were analyzed using the Chi-Square test to determine the correlation between the two variables. The results of this study indicate a significant correlation with p = 0.010 and ? = 0.05, which mean p < ?. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between depressive symptoms and 2-hour postprandial blood sugar levels in patients with T2DM. This finding confirms that depressive symptoms play a significant role in influencing blood sugar stability in patients with T2DM.

"Batekang Hambaruan" as the Meaning of Mental Health in Dayak Culture

Nurika Salsabila, Ainurizan Ridho Rahmatulloh — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Mental health in Indigenous Peoples is often understood through clinical frameworks, thus ignoring the local meanings inherent in culture. This study aims to uncover the meaning of mental health in Dayak culture through the concept of Batekang Hambaruan as a form of inner strength. The study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach, involving participants from the sub-tribes Dayak Ngaju and Dayak Barai in Kalimantan. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that mental health is defined as an individual’s ability to recover, think clearly, work, and perform meaningful life roles amid life’s stresses. In contrast, the condition of Balemu Hambaruan or Mamau is understood as a temporary phase of mental weakness. Mental vulnerability is influenced by economic, structural, and social labeling pressures, while mental reinforcement is shaped by cultural values such as Isen Mulang and Pintar Harati, indigenous practices, and family and community support. These findings indicate that Batekang Hambaruan represents a form of culture-based resilience in interpreting and maintaining the mental health of the Dayak community, emphasizing the importance of a culturally informed mental health approach for Indigenous communities.

Tomi Sutoro — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The research aims to test and analyze the effect of the investment opportunity set, financial distress, and litigation risk on accounting conservatism. This form of research uses quantitative methods with statistical tools like Eviews12. The population of this study were all infrastructure sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, totaling 69 companies. The sampling method used purposive sampling, which amounted to 46 companies. Data analysis techniques in the form of descriptive statistics, model selection, classical assumption tests, panel regression analysis, and hypothesis testing results showed that investment opportunity set, financial distress, and litigation risk have a positive and significant effect on accounting conservatism in the infrastructure sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The adjusted R square results show a value of 27.29%, while the remaining 72.71% is explained by other independent variable factors that affect accounting conservatism. In short, it can be concluded that the higher the IOS, financial distress condition, and litigation risk, the higher the level of accounting conservatism applied by infrastructure companies. This research provides practical implications for company management, investors, and regulators in assessing financial reporting practices in the infrastructure sector.

Humanitarian Aid as an Instrument of Indonesia's Public Diplomacy in the Papua Issue: A Case Study of Vanuatu (2016–2023)

Firman Fauzi — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Indonesia's humanitarian assistance to Vanuatu has increased significantly since 2016, with a value of around US$5.8 million in 2022. The assistance is realized through natural disaster response, the construction of health facilities, and capacity building programs, and is positioned as part of Indonesia's public diplomacy efforts to reduce international pressure related to the Papua issue. However, this increase in the intensity of humanitarian aid was not followed by a significant change in public perception or political attitudes in Vanuatu. Survey data shows that about 68 percent of Vanuatu people still support Papuan independence, while digital campaigns such as #FreeWestPapua with more than five million interactions continue to reinforce the pro-independence narrative in transnational public spaces. At the government level, Vanuatu has consistently raised the issue of Papua in various international forums, reflecting the gap between Indonesia's soft power efforts and the political results achieved. This study uses a single qualitative case study design with a time span of 2016–2023, through document analysis, tracing of humanitarian aid processes, media and social media content analysis, and limited observation. The theoretical framework of this research integrates Joseph Nye's concept of soft power and "new" public diplomacy (Melissen; Zaharna) with Hans Morgenthau's classical realism perspective on national interests, in order to explain the dynamics of persuasion as well as political resistance. The findings of the study show that humanitarian aid alone is not enough to change the deep-rooted political preferences related to the Papuan issue. The effectiveness of aid can only be increased if it is designed based on local needs, culturally resonant and integrated into a coherent, long-term, and collaborative cross-actor public diplomacy strategy.

Macroeconomic Determinants of Coal Exports in Indonesia Amid Global Economic Volatility

Najwa Maulida, P Eko Prasetyo — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study analyzes the influence of international coal prices, the IDR/USD exchange rate, interest rates, and China's economic growth on the value of Indonesia's coal exports using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach. Data from the 2010–2024 period was used to capture short-term and long-term dynamics relevant to the character of the energy commodity market. The estimation results show that international coal prices have a significant positive effect both in the short and long term, underscoring the role of global prices in determining the export performance of primary commodities. However, the exchange rate has a negative effect in the long term, indicating high import content during the production process; thus, rupiah depreciation increases operational costs in the mining sector. Since Indonesia's exports are highly dependent on China's energy demand as a major trading partner, China's economic growth has a significant positive effect on both time horizons. Meanwhile, interest rates did not significantly affect exports. The significant and large error correction value ensures an adjustment mechanism toward long-term equilibrium. This research provides new knowledge related to export policy and risk management for Indonesia's coal sector amid global economic volatility.

Good Governance, Transparency, and Accountability in Regional Financial Management: A Literature Review

Rizaldi Setiawan, Muhammad Riban Satia — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Local Public Financial Management is a key issue in public sector economics, as it relates to the effective use of public resources and local government performance. Numerous studies have examined the role of good governance, transparency, and accountability in local public financial management; however, their findings remain fragmented and inconsistent. This article aims to synthesize the literature on the mechanisms through which good governance improves local government financial performance. Using a library research approach, this study analyzes 20 accredited national journal articles and 12 reputable international journal articles published between 2015 and 2025. The findings indicate that good governance does not directly affect financial performance but operates through transparency and accountability as mediating mechanisms. Moreover, the digitalization of public financial management strengthens transparency, although its impact on accountability and performance is conditional. This article aims to synthesize national and international literature on good governance mechanisms in improving the financial performance of local governments from the economic perspective of the public sector.

The Relationship Between Public Health Insurance Patient Satisfaction (JAMKESMAS) and Visits Return Patients to Pedada Health Center

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Patient satisfaction is a key indicator for assessing healthcare quality and influences healthcare utilization behavior, including patient revisits. The Public Health Insurance Program (JAMKESMAS) aims to provide healthcare access for the poor and underprivileged; however, its implementation still faces various challenges that can affect patient satisfaction levels. This research aimed to determine the relationship between JAMKESMAS patient satisfaction and patient revisits to the Pedada Health Center, Pesawaran Regency, in 2025. This study employed an analytical cross-sectional design. A total of 65 JAMKESMAS patients were selected using total sampling. Data on satisfaction were collected through a questionnaire, while revisit behavior was observed using visit logs. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed using the Chi-square test (? = 0.05). Results indicated that the majority of JAMKESMAS patients were dissatisfied (55.4%) and irregular in their revisit behavior (75.4%). The results of the statistical test showed a significant relationship between JAMKESMAS patient satisfaction and patient revisits to the Pedada Health Center, Pesawaran Regency, in 2025 (p-value = 0.012). An Odds Ratio value of 5.647 indicates that dissatisfied JAMKESMAS patients have a greater likelihood of irregular revisits compared to satisfied patients. It can be concluded that JAMKESMAS patient satisfaction is significantly related to patient revisits. Therefore, improving the quality of healthcare services at the Puskesmas is essential to increase patient satisfaction and encourage regular revisits.

Audrey Budiawan, Budi Husodo Bisowarno, Tedi Hudaya — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to analyze the application of project management in the areas of procurement knowledge (procurement) and logistics in the production facility construction project at PT X, an oleochemicals industry located in Indonesia. The problem to be solved arises from deviations in time and cost, particularly in the delivery schedule of items packaged in containers and shipped from international ports to Indonesia. These deviations result in cost overruns due to logistics delay fines. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach using comparative analysis techniques. Primary data include project schedule documents, logistics reports, and actual cost data. The results of the analysis show that the greatest deviation occurred in the customs clearance phase and in the handling of container-to-factory transportation. The effect of schedule deviation on cost deviation is examined in this paper, and after analysis, it is concluded that there is a need to enhance the effectiveness of project change management in the procurement process to formally mitigate and integrate logistics schedule changes, thereby controlling the risk of cost overruns.

Evaluation of Social Media Marketing and Operational as the Basis for the Wira Wiri Suroboyo Strategy Using the Race, Fishbone, Ahp, and Swot Methods

Erasmus Reyhan Irvandy, Bambang Syairudin — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Transportation is an essential aspect of daily life, as the entire community relies on it to meet various needs. Rapid population growth and the high mobility of residents in the city of Surabaya have created significant challenges in public transportation management. This study aims to identify the reasons behind the low usage of Wira Wiri Suroboyo and to assess the effectiveness of social media marketing for Wira Wiri Suroboyo. A quantitative approach was employed using a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument, with purposive sampling applied to select respondents. The study utilizes the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Reach, Act, Convert, Engage (RACE), Fishbone, and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis methods. The results of the analysis using the Fishbone diagram show that the root causes of low public interest encompass several factors, including limited public participation, routes that do not cover all densely populated areas, inadequate bus stop facilities, and dependence on the regional budget for operational funding. Based on the SWOT matrix, Wira Wiri Suroboyo is positioned in the maintain quadrant but requires significant improvement in the “Act” aspect of social media engagement. The main strategic priority is to enhance interaction with consumers and provide informative, user-friendly content to build stronger brand awareness. This study concludes that the low usage of Wira Wiri Suroboyo is not solely a transportation issue but also a result of an underdeveloped supporting ecosystem. As a strategic recommendation, the Surabaya Transportation Agency should consistently implement the RACE framework, improve infrastructure (particularly bus stops), and adjust bus schedules at each stop according to actual travel patterns (origin–destination).

Short- to long-term sales programs are managed through the “Walk In 12345” activity to ensure business sustainability, along with plans for expansion into the Greater Jakarta area outside Bekasi City in the fourth year. The study concludes that a structured marketing plan that leverages the advantages of robotic technology and a smart digital marketing strategy can be key for Harmoni Physiotherapy Clinic to win market competition in the physiotherapy healthcare sector.

Analysis of Flood Risks on The Power Distribution System Infrastructure at Pt PLN (Persero) Distribution Banten Due to Climate Change

Inez Carissa Abyati, Arie Dipareza Syafe’i — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The electricity distribution system in the work area of PT PLN (Persero) Banten Distribution Main Unit is facing increasing challenges due to the increasing frequency and intensity of floods affected by climate change. Historical data show that power outages due to natural disasters contribute significantly to the unreliability of distribution systems, with flood events occurring in seasonal patterns and tending to be spatially extensive. This condition requires a comprehensive understanding of the factors that cause flooding and the level of flood vulnerability in the area where the electricity infrastructure is located, as a basis for more targeted risk management efforts. This study uses a quantitative approach based on spatial analysis to identify and analyze flood vulnerability. Flood risk assessment is carried out by integrating four main parameters, namely slope slope, rainfall, land use, and soil type, each of which is weighted according to the level of influence on the occurrence of flooding. Rainfall data was analyzed using historical data for the period 2014–2024 as well as climate projections with the SSP 2-4.5 and SSP 5-8.5 Scenarios. All parameters are processed using the Geographic Information System (GIS) to produce flood vulnerability maps and identify the level of risk to the electricity infrastructure. The results showed that flood vulnerability in the study area was predominantly influenced by topographic factors, followed by soil type, while rainfall and land use had a relatively balanced level of influence. Flood risk mapping shows variations in vulnerability levels across different climate scenarios. In 2030, areas with the Vulnerable Risk and Moderately Vulnerable risk classes dominate, while in 2050 there will be a shift with the increasing dominance of Moderately Vulnerable Risk in both SSP scenarios. The integration of flood risk maps with infrastructure data shows that most distribution substations are located in medium to high flood risk zones, which confirms the importance of flood risk mapping as a basis for managing electricity infrastructure in vulnerable areas flooding.

The Effect of Social Media Agility on Sme Performance in Indonesia: The Moderating Role of Digital Literacy and Environmental Dynamism

Jennifer Wibisono, Charly Hongdiyanto — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the effect of social media agility on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia, with digital literacy and environmental dynamism serving as moderating variables. In an increasingly dynamic digital business environment, SMEs are required to respond quickly and flexibly to market changes, customer interactions, and competitive pressures through the effective use of social media. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method, with data collected from SME owners and managers across various sectors in Indonesia. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to assess the direct and moderating relationships among variables. The findings indicate that social media agility has a significant positive effect on SME performance. Furthermore, digital literacy strengthens the relationship between social media agility and SME performance, suggesting that SMEs with higher levels of digital literacy are better able to leverage social media agility to enhance business outcomes. Environmental dynamism is also found to moderate this relationship, wherein higher levels of environmental uncertainty amplify the importance of social media agility in improving SME performance. These results highlight the critical role of social media agility as a strategic capability for SMEs, particularly when supported by adequate digital literacy and adaptability to dynamic environmental conditions. The study contributes to the literature on digital transformation and SME performance by providing empirical evidence from an emerging economy context.

Control of Slippery Conditions on Mining Roads Through Layering with Crusher Reject Material on the Hauling Road from Pit to Rom Pit Basalt PPA During Q4 2025

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The slippery condition of the mining road on the Pit to ROM Pit Basalt PPA hauling line is one of the main obstacles to achieving production targets and ensuring work safety. During the January–June 2025 period, the year-to-date slippery value on the Pit to ROM road exceeded the company's standard threshold, reaching an average of 243% or 1.83 hours per rainy event. This high value resulted from limitations in hard materials for road layering, soil conditions prone to slipperiness, suboptimal road geometry, and inadequate drainage systems. The impacts included decreased effective working hours for transportation equipment, increased unsafe conditions, and lost revenue from basalt loading activities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of crusher reject material as an alternative for road layering to control slippery conditions in the Pit to ROM hauling area. It is an applied improvement study, problem-solving oriented, using the Quality Control Project (QCP) approach. The analysis employed quantitative and qualitative methods through before–after comparisons, supported by field observations and technical evaluations of the mining road conditions. The results show that layering with crusher reject material, supported by road geometry improvements and drainage normalization, significantly reduced slippery duration, increased effective working hours for hauler units, and generated revenue gains of Rp460,430,676. This study implies that crusher reject material offers an effective, safe, and economical technical solution for sustainable mining road management.

Constraints of Platform-Based Learning Among Mobile-Only Students in Regional Higher Education Institutions: A Qualitative Study in the PG-PAUD Study Program

Agus Salim — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Platform-based digital learning has become commonplace in higher education; however, its implementation often fails to accommodate students who depend on low-end smartphones as their primary learning device (mobile-only learners). This study examines the challenges of platform-based learning experienced by mobile-only students in the PG-PAUD (Pendidikan Guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini; Early Childhood Teacher Education) program at Universitas PGRI Argopuro Jember, representing a regional higher education context. Using a descriptive qualitative design, the study involved ten purposively selected students. Data were gathered through semi-structured online interviews and light observation of Google Classroom, Moodle/SPADA, and Zoom usage over one semester and were analyzed thematically. The results identify four key challenges: (1) low-end device limitations (restricted RAM/storage, app crashes, and difficulty accessing large files), (2) high internet data demands, particularly during synchronous sessions, (3) unstable network connectivity, and (4) platform navigation that is not mobile-friendly. These barriers are not merely technical; they contribute to an adaptive-passive participation pattern that affects engagement, timely assignment submission, and learning comprehension. The study argues that platform-based learning challenges among mobile-only students reflect structural digital inequality, thereby requiring more inclusive digital instructional design (lightweight materials, calibrated asynchronous dominance, and file-size standards) alongside institutionally responsive policies.

Spatial Integration in the Fishermen Settlement of Sungai Pinang Nagari, Pesisir Selatan Regency

Windri Hadi Utama, Al Busyra Fuadi, Era Triana — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Regional development has introduced land access through a main road, leading to shifts in settlement orientation and the spatial configuration of Sungai Pinang Nagari, a fishing village in Pesisir Selatan Regency. Previously oriented toward water as the primary access, the spatial layout along the riverbanks now faces the risk of degradation due to these changes. Therefore, a study is needed to plan the spatial integration of existing areas. This research employed a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative rationalistic methods to holistically understand local spatial values and quantitative methods based on the Space Syntax concept—specifically, integrity analysis—to identify spaces with high integration value. These highly integrated spaces function as connectors and integrators, linking and harmonizing with other spatial zones. The findings reveal three high-integrity spaces: Integrity Space A along the coastal zone, Integrity Space B in the communal zone, and Integrity Space C along the riverbank zone. These spaces form integrative areas known as “grey spaces,” which support and connect various community activities. This study concludes that despite the shift toward a land-based orientation, spaces rooted in local wisdom retain significant potential as integrative and connective elements within a sustainable spatial framework.
