Anggaini, Risna, Nurrahman, Syafran, Ramadhani, Saskia Nur, Ndaung, Yohana Cesyika
Abstract: • DEF is a company engaged in the sale of coffee, both wholesale and retail. Currently, the sales recording system is still carried out manually, which often leads to problems such as delays in reporting, data entry errors,… rors, and difficulties in retrieving historical information. This study aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the sales recording system by implementing the INDEX MATCH and SUMIFS functions in Microsoft Excel. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews, and documentation of the existing system. The results show that the use of INDEX MATCH and SUMIFS can accelerate the data retrieval process, improve the accuracy of sales reports, and reduce input errors. This study provides a practical solution for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in implementing an efficient sales recording system without requiring significant investment in ERP software. However, the system still has limitations, such as dependence on Excel files that are vulnerable to damage or unintended changes, and the lack of advanced automation features such as receivables reminders or inter-departmental integration. Therefore, future research is expected to develop a web-based system with a centralized database.

Liow, Swingly Suriadi Yesaya, Lengkong, Jeffry S.J, Katuuk, Deitje A.
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.

S, Muhammad Ilham, Putri, Arum Kusuma, Dewi, Yulia Ratna
Abstract: Laboratory testing plays a crucial role in supporting patient diagnosis and monitoring; therefore, accurate and precise results are essential through the implementation of quality control (QC). Potassium level testing is… one of the key parameters requiring robust quality control because it is closely linked to patients’ clinical conditions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of QC in potassium level testing using the EasyLyte device at the Kasih Ibu Hospital Laboratory in Surakarta. The research method used was quantitative descriptive with an observational approach using secondary data from QC results for the period from September to November 2025. Analysis was performed by calculating the mean, standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), and evaluating the Westgard rules. The results showed that the CV values for normal and abnormal controls were within acceptable limits (≤5%), and no violations of any Westgard rules were found. This indicates that the test results have good precision and there are no deviations, either random or systematic. Overall, the analytical system is in control and the instrument performance is stable. Thus, potassium testing using the EasyLyte instrument meets quality requirements and is suitable for use in laboratory services, while still requiring QC monitoring as well as routine maintenance and calibration.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING (EMA) IN DISCLOSING ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS UNDER THE METRICS AND TARGETS PILLAR OF THE TASK FORCE ON CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES (TCFD): ANALYSIS OF CONTRIBUTION TO SDG 13 (CLIMATE ACTION) IN COAL COMPANIES LISTED ON THE INDONESIA STOCK EXCHANGE FOR THE PERIOD 2022–2024

Radia, Siti, Amaliah, Tri Handayani, Mahdalena, Mahdalena
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the role of Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) in disclosing environmental risks under the metrics and targets pillar of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), as… s well as its contribution to the achievement of SDG 13 (Climate Action) in coal companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2022–2024. This research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from sustainability reports. The sample consists of 17 coal companies selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 51 observations. Data analysis is conducted using content analysis with a dummy scoring method based on 17 indicators of the TCFD metrics and targets pillar. The results indicate that the level of environmental risk disclosure shows an increasing trend, from 37.71% in 2022 to 48.44% in 2024. However, the overall level remains moderate, indicating that companies are still in a transition phase toward more mature climate reporting practices. Basic indicators such as total emissions and Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are widely disclosed, while advanced indicators such as Scope 3 emissions and emission reduction targets remain limited. The findings also reveal that the contribution to SDG 13 is uneven: strong in providing baseline emission data, moderate in emission intensity efficiency, and weak in comprehensive inventory and long-term mitigation strategies. Furthermore, companies are categorized into three groups—best practice, intermediate, and resistant—based on their level of disclosure and EMA readiness. Companies with more developed EMA systems demonstrate stronger contributions to climate action. Overall, the study concludes that the coal sector shows positive but not yet optimal alignment with SDG 13, requiring improvements in methodological transparency, Scope 3 measurement, and science-based emission targets.

Abstract: The low level of students’ scientific literacy indicates the need for learning approaches that can train scientific thinking process through inquiry activities. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Guided Inquiry&#8230; quiry Interactive Reinforcement learning with Guided Inquiry learning without Interactive Reinforcement on the topic of global warming in improving junior high school students’ scientific literacy. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design conducted at a public junior high school in Sidoarjo Regency. This research subjects were students of class IX F as the experimental class and class IX B as the control class. Data were collected through scientific literacy test instrument, learning implementation observation sheets, and student response questionnaires. The test data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, effect size calculation, and N-Gain, while the data from the observation of learning implementation and student response questionnaires were analyzed descriptively using quantitative methods. The results showed that there was a significant difference in scientific literacy between the experimental class and the control class with an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of <0,001. The effect size calculation obtained a value of , categorized as a large effect, indicating a very strong influence. The improvement in scientific literacy in the experimental class was higher with an average N-Gain of 0,927 (high category) compared to the control class with 0,783 (high category). The level of scientific literacy also increased from level 2 in the pretest to level 6 in the experimental class and level 5 in the control class in the posttest. These results were supported by the implementation of learning in both classes, which was categorized as very good, and student responses that showed very good criteria with a higher percentage in the experimental class. Based on these findings, the Guided Inquiry Interactive Reinforcement learning model is proven to be more effective in improving junior high school students’ scientific literacy. This learning model is recommended to be applied to science topics that have contextual characteristics in order to enhance students’ scientific literacy.

Abstract: Healthcare service quality is an important factor influencing patient satisfaction, particularly in pediatric nursing services in hospitals. The SERVQUAL model, which includes the dimensions of tangible, reliability, responsiveness,&#8230; ponsiveness, assurance, and empathy, is widely used to evaluate healthcare service quality. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between service quality and pediatric patient satisfaction in the Bung Hatta Inpatient Ward of Tk III Dr. Reksodiwiryo Hospital, Padang. This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytic descriptive design and a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 30 respondents who were parents or guardians of pediatric patients hospitalized for at least three days. Respondents were selected using an accidental sampling technique. Data were collected using a SERVQUAL-based questionnaire with a Likert scale and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents were satisfied with nursing services (80%). Bivariate analysis indicated significant relationships between the tangible (p=0.033), reliability (p=0.049), and assurance (p=0.040) dimensions and pediatric patient satisfaction. However, responsiveness and empathy dimensions were not statistically associated with patient satisfaction (p>0.05). In conclusion, nursing service quality is associated with pediatric patient satisfaction in several SERVQUAL dimensions, particularly tangible, reliability, and assurance. Continuous improvement in nursing service quality is necessary to enhance satisfaction among pediatric patients and their families in hospital settings.
