0% mocaf, and the addition of carrageenan, CMC, and STPP at concentrations of 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1% with 9 treatments. The parameters analyzed included yield, water content, protein, fiber, organoleptic and production cost. The results showed that the yield ranged from 82.15–96.39% and was significantly different between treatments. Water content was 65.01–70.60%, while the highest protein and fiber content was obtained with the addition of 0.25% carrageenan, respectively 10.53% and 7.97%, respectively. The type and concentration of food additives significantly affected the yield, water content, protein, fiber and texture but did not significantly affect the color and taste of palm mushroom and mocaf flour meatballs.

the effect of deep breathing relaxation techniques on lowering blood pressure in elderly people in Bate Linteng and Lambunot Villages, Aceh Besar. This quantitative study used a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest. The study was conducted from August 26 to August 31, 2024, with a population and sample of 16 elderly respondents with a history of hypertension. Data collection was conducted through observation using an observation sheet and the provision of deep breathing relaxation techniques. The results showed that the average blood pressure before the intervention was 148/90 mmHg with a standard deviation of 9.674, while after the intervention, it decreased to 143/87 mmHg with a standard deviation of 9.050. The statistical test results using the Paired Sample t-Test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect between deep breathing relaxation techniques and blood pressure reduction. The results of this study are expected to provide information for hypertension sufferers and their families that deep breathing relaxation techniques are a form of non-pharmacological therapy that can be performed independently to control blood pressure.

roach with a survey method. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire, with a total sample of 54 respondents. The data analysis technique applied was multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that (1) resilience has a positive and significant effect on adaptive behavior, (2) mindset has a positive and significant effect on adaptive behavior, and (3) resilience and mindset simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on adaptive behavior. Descriptive findings based on business type indicate that the highest levels of resilience and adaptive behavior are found in restaurant businesses, while relatively lower levels are observed in bakery and pastry industries. Based on business duration, entrepreneurs who have operated longer tend to demonstrate better adaptive capabilities compared to newer businesses. This study recommends enhancing digital literacy training, strengthening entrepreneurial mindset, and providing business mentoring programs to improve the adaptive capacity of MSMEs in facing digital transformation.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effect of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), hedonic shopping, and self-control on impulse buying among students who use Shopee, as well as to examine the role of self-control as a moderating variable.…
able. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method involving students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, class of 2022, as respondents. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires distributed through forms and Google Forms. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS and SEM-PLS 4.1 to test the relationships among variables. The results show that Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and hedonic shopping have a positive effect on impulse buying. This indicates that digital social pressure and pleasure-driven motivation are the main factors encouraging students to engage in impulsive purchases. In contrast, self-control does not affect impulse buying, suggesting that students’ ability to regulate themselves is not yet strong enough to reduce impulsive consumption behavior. This condition is influenced by the characteristics of students who do not yet have a stable income, so self-control has not developed optimally in financial management due to the absence of income.

Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effect of Current Ratio (CR) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on Return on Assets (ROA) in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020–2024. The research…
search method employed is a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. The data used are secondary data obtained from companies’ financial statements, with a total sample of 110 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results show that partially, the Current Ratio (CR) has no significant effect on Return on Assets (ROA), with a significance value of 0.833. Meanwhile, the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) has a negative and significant effect on Return on Assets (ROA), with a significance value of 0.000. Simultaneously, Current Ratio (CR) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) have a significant effect on Return on Assets (ROA), as indicated by an F-test significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square) of 0.128 indicates that the independent variables explain 12.8% of the variation in ROA, while the remaining 87.2% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. This study concludes that capital structure plays a more dominant role in influencing profitability compared to liquidity in energy sector companies. Therefore, companies are expected to manage debt usage optimally to improve financial performance.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the influence of coaching-based academic supervision on teacher performance at SMA Negeri 1 Amurang and SMA Negeri 1 Motoling. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory design.…
ign. The population consisted of 122 teachers, all of whom were included as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis included descriptive analysis, prerequisite tests, and simple linear regression. The results showed that coaching-based academic supervision does not have a significant effect on teacher performance (p > 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.013 indicates that the contribution of coaching-based academic supervision to teacher performance is very low, accounting for only 1.3%, while most of the variation in teacher performance is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings indicate that coaching-based academic supervision has not been able to directly improve teacher performance, especially when its implementation is not carried out consistently and in depth. This study emphasizes that the effectiveness of coaching-based supervision is contextual and highly dependent on the quality of implementation and the support of the school’s organizational environment.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the influence of locus of control and independence on the performance of internal auditors at the Regional Inspectorate of Bone Bolango Regency. This research employs a quantitative approach with…
th a causal research design. The population and sample consist of 38 internal auditors, using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results show that partially, locus of control does not have a significant effect on internal auditor performance, while independence has a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, locus of control and independence significantly influence internal auditor performance. The coefficient of determination indicates that 55.1% of the variation in internal auditor performance can be explained by locus of control and independence, while the remaining 44.9% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings indicate that internal auditor performance is more strongly influenced by professional factors such as independence than by psychological factors such as locus of control. Therefore, efforts to improve internal auditor performance should focus on strengthening auditor independence to ensure objective and professional audit practices.
Abstract:The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the process of organizing, interpreting and applying the implementation process of the Active Emergency Village program in realizing community independence in Roban Village,…
llage, Singkawang City. The results of the study indicate that the Implementation of the Active Emergency Village program in Realizing Community Independence in Roban Village, Singkawang Tengah District, Singkawang City has been implemented but has not been maximized. This can be seen from the implementation of the organizing process that has not been carried out in accordance with the activities of selecting the administrators and cadres of the Active Emergency Village through a special meeting of the formal leaders of the Village and community leaders and several community representatives. The election was carried out through deliberation and consensus, in accordance with the applicable procedures and criteria, facilitated by the Roban Health Center. The implementation of the interpretation process of the implementation of the socialization process through the transmission or distribution of information is not clearly received by the implementers such as the village head and the health center, so that not all people know or understand the program. The implementation of the application process such as the adequacy of implementing personnel, authority as authority or legitimacy for implementers in implementing the established policies is still limited, so the power of the implementors in implementing the program in the eyes of the community is not in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, Number 1529 / MENKES / SK / X / 2010 Concerning General Guidelines for the Development of Active Emergency Villages and Sub-districts.
