counseling includes providing emotional and spiritual support to the congregation. In addition to helping the congregation overcome emotional, mental, and spiritual issues, counseling also assists them in discovering their identity, life calling, and potential, so that they can develop holistically in life. Pastoral counseling is a form of interpersonal communication that requires the pastor to have good communication skills. The ability to build strong relationships with the congregation significantly influences their spiritual development. Additionally, empathy and compassion are qualities that pastors must possess to support their interpersonal skills. Diagnostic skills are also crucial for a pastoral counselor. With these skills, the counselor can identify the problems faced by the congregation and provide assistance or refer them for further treatment. Interpersonal skills help build open relationships, while diagnostic abilities are essential in identifying the root causes of the congregation's issues. In the diagnostic process, assessment and interpretation skills are vital to understanding the congregation's problems comprehensively—emotionally, mentally, socially, culturally, and spiritually—so that the solutions provided can be effective and accurate. Pastoral counseling plays a significant role in supporting the growth of faith and overall well-being of the congregation.

This study aims to analyze the effects of work motivation, work discipline, and the work environment on employee performance, both partially and simultaneously. The research employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. The study population consisted of 87 employees, all of whom were selected as respondents through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics. The findings reveal that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with a significance value of 0.002 and a regression coefficient of 0.388. Work discipline also demonstrates a positive and significant effect, with a significance value of 0.002 and a regression coefficient of 0.310. The work environment emerges as the most dominant variable, with a significance value of 0.000, a regression coefficient of 1.238, and a beta coefficient of 0.417. Simultaneously, work motivation, work discipline, and the work environment significantly influence employee performance, as indicated by an F-statistic of 40.438 and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.594 indicates that 59.4% of the variation in employee performance can be explained by these three variables. The novelty of this study lies in its empirical evidence that the work environment constitutes the most dominant factor affecting employee performance within the Department of Education and Culture of Jayapura City, an institution characterized by distinctive organizational features and service-area conditions.

uantitative approach with a causal-associative design and utilizes secondary data obtained from official publications of Bank Indonesia (BI) and the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The research population consists of 45 banking companies, from which 20 companies meeting the sampling criteria were selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted comprehensively through descriptive analysis, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings reveal that, partially, exchange rates have a significant negative effect on stock prices, and interest rates also exert a significant negative effect. Furthermore, simultaneous testing confirms that both independent variables significantly and negatively influence banking stock prices. These results highlight that macroeconomic volatility, particularly exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate movements, are crucial determinants to be considered in capital market analysis. Academically, this study contributes to the literature on the relationship between macroeconomic indicators and stock price dynamics, while practically, the results may serve as a reference for investors in making investment decisions, for policymakers in formulating economic stabilization strategies, and for banking institutions in anticipating market risks arising from both global and domestic economic uncertainty.

Abstrak: Puskesmas Air Joman merupakan pusat kesehatan masyarakat yang memberikan pelayanan dalam bentuk jasa pengobatan kepada masyarakat Air Joman dan sekitarnya. Berdasarkan observasi yang dilakukan penulis, adapun penggunaan jarum suntik di Puskesmas Air Joman setiap bulan berfluktuasi yang terdiri atas jarum suntik 1 ml, jarum suntik 2,5 ml, jarum suntik 3 ml, jarum suntik 5 ml dan jarum suntik 10 ml. Setelah pemakaian, jarum suntik tidak boleh dipakai kembali dan harus dibuang. Namun, terkadang terjadi kendala dalam melayani pasien, hal ini disebabkan karena keterbatasan jarum suntik. Banyaknya data jarum suntik hanya bisa diperkirakan dari banyak atau sedikitnya alat kesehatan yang ada (stok), dikarenakan kebutuhan setiap bulan berbeda-beda. Hal ini mengakibatkan tidak semua kebutuhan alat kesehatan terpenuhi dan sering terjadi stok tambahan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan mengenai pengolahan data stok alat kesehatan, maka dibutuhkan bantuan dengan peramalan (forecasting) yang merupakan proses pengestimasian permintaan di masa mendatang. Sistem peramalan tersebut dirancang menggunakan bahasa pemrograman PHP dan database MySQL. Peramalan persediaan jarum suntik pada Puskesmas Air Joman mempercepat proses kerja Kasir untuk melakukan pembuatan laporan karena sistem peramalan secara otomatis menghasilkan hasil peramalan ketika diklik tombol hitung dan cetak laporan.
