Published: August 2023

Jurnal ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis masalah ketidakpatuhan terhadap pedoman kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja (K3) bagi buruh perempuan di PT. AICE sejak tahun 2017. PT. AICE memiliki kebijakan yang tidak responsif terhadap kebutuhan buruh perempuan, sehingga mempersulit mereka untuk memperoleh hak-hak seperti cuti haid, cuti hamil, cuti melahirkan, dan jam kerja yang fleksibel bagi ibu hamil. Akibatnya, buruh perempuan mengalami penurunan motivasi yang berujung pada mogok kerja. Studi ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka untuk menganalisis kebijakan tidak responsif PT. AICE terhadap buruh perempuan dengan menggunakan teori feminisme sosialis dengan melibatkan pandangan Nancy Fraser. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PT. AICE gagal memenuhi hak-hak perempuan, yang mengakibatkan kurangnya responsivitas terhadap hak-hak mereka. Hal ini berdampak signifikan pada kinerja buruh perempuan, menyebabkan kehilangan motivasi dan semangat kerja. Serikat buruh turut campur tangan untuk mengatasi masalah ini.

Authors: Setiyaningsih Dewi
Published: August 2023

Since 21st century, the production system of capitalism has experienced rapid development with the globalization of production. The pattern of production is segmented, where a product is not only produced in one country or what is called as global production network (GPN). As a developing country, Indonesia is also involved in the GPN and create global value chain (GVC). One of the industries favored by Indonesia in the GPN is the agricultural industry. Many studies have examined the extent of Indonesia’s involvement and how the impact of Indonesia’s involvement in the GPN will be. However, not many have studied the specifics of commodities. This study examines how tea industry involvement in GPN has a social and economic impact using the framework developed by Handerson on the influence of value, power, and embeddedness on the social and economic improvement of GPN activities. Taking tea industry as a case, the results show that the industry’s involvement in the GPN can have a positive impact on development in Indonesia.

Typological features of eating disorder patients: A review of publications
Authors: Levchenko Daryna
Published: August 2023

Despite the fact that the development and course of various types of eating disorders, and therefore their treatment, largely depend on the typological characteristics of patients, this aspect has been understudied. The purpose of the study is to review the problem of providing psychological assistance to eating disorder patients with various typological features. Using methods of analysis, synthesis, and comparison, the paper emphasises the importance of typological features of eating disorder patients in providing psychotherapeutic care. Patients with certain personality traits, such as perfectionism, the need for control, and impulsivity, have been found to be prone to eating disorders, while these typological personality traits, along with many others, have been shown to help build treatment strategies for anorexia nervosa, compulsive overeating, and bulimia nervosa. The analysis showed that there are traits specific to certain eating disorders that can be reinforced in overcoming food addiction. The influence of personal characteristics on the choice of psychotherapy strategy and the possibility of forming psychotherapeutic relationships are covered. The importance of typological features of eating disorder patients in the provision of psychotherapeutic care is revealed. To enhance the effectiveness of selecting a psychotherapeutic care strategy and establishing psychotherapeutic relationships, this paper summarises the primary personal characteristics associated with different types of eating disorders. Attention is paid to typical behavioural manifestations in the presence of one of the types of eating disorders. The main prerequisites for the development of a personality prone to dependent behaviour are substantiated. The central perspective on the role of the family in the development of an eating disorder is established. The practical value of the study lies in the possibility of using the findings to expand the understanding of the typological features of patients with food addiction to provide effective psychotherapeutic care.

Authors: M.B. Porbari , W.G. Barinem
Published: August 2023

It is expected of every responsive and effective government to give utmost priority to the welfare and valued conditions of service of the teachers who are the human capitals in schools. This is a wholesome bid to the anticipation of achieving laid down goals of education, without which the teachers may not conform to established rules of engagement, an ensuing blatant non-performance problem. Emanating from sheer observation of this scenario, and owing to scanty literature and dearth of empirical works in this area, this study therefore aimed at the examination of delayed promotion and performance of public secondary school teachers in Rivers State. In the attempt to investigate the relationship between the variables, three research questions and three corresponding hypotheses were posed to guide the study. Vroom’s expectancy theory was utilized to explain the nexus between the variables. Random and simple random samplings were adopted. The sample size of 393 was determined using the Taro Yamane statistics, from the population figure of 36,215. The study adopted cross sectional research design and generated data through surveys. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire which was analyzed using percentage and chi-square that was used to test the hypotheses. The study found that there is a significant relationship between delayed promotion on the one hand, and public secondary school teachers’ reluctance to work effectively, teachers frequently absenteeism and reduced promotion of learning on the other hand. Thus, it is concluded that delayed promotion of public secondary school teachers negatively affects teachers’ performance in Rivers State.

Published: August 2023

The emergence and proliferation of non-state armed security outfits across different geopolitical zones in Nigeria in recent times is on the rise. Scholars have argued on the causes, necessity and legality of these regional security outfits. However, studies have not empirically examined the character of Nigeria state as the propelling factor for the increase in these armed security outfits. This study, therefore, examined whether the weak governance of security by the Federal Government accounted for the emergence and proliferation of people centered non-state armed security architecture in Nigeria. The study adopted the documentary method of data collection, which was then analyzed through qualitative descriptive methods of data analysis. The Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) was utilized as the foundation for our theoretical framework. Findings showed that weak governance of security by the federal government contributed to the emergence and proliferation of people centered non- state armed security outfits in Nigeria within the period under study. As a corollary of the above, this study recommended building synergy and collaboration between the state security agencies and the regional security outfits which will strengthen intelligence gathering and effective security provision.

Published: August 2023

In terms of investment, social and governance (ESG) issues consider various non-financial aspects of business performance. This includes the impact of the company's operations on the environment, society, and the quality of corporate governance. ESG factors have received significant attention from the investment community, along with increasing awareness of the importance of sustainability in investment decision making. Investors are increasingly realizing that taking ESG factors into account when making investment decisions can provide long-term benefits, both from an environmental and financial perspective. This study's objective is to investigate how ESG issues affect investment choices by using the mediation of investment goals as a variable in the relationship. This study included quantitative methodology and a survey questionnaire. Researchers gather and use analytical methods to study quantitative data. Simple random selection was used to perform the questionnaire survey of Indonesian stock market users, including individuals and businesses. There are 371 samples total that may be examined for this investigation. Software called SmartPLS 3.0 was used for the study's analysis. According to the study's findings, corporate governance, social responsibility, and the environment all have varied effects on investment choices. Environmental considerations have a major impact on investing objectives but little to no impact on investment choices. Social considerations have a favorable and considerable impact on investment decisions, but they have little impact on investment aims. Investment goals and choices are significantly impacted by corporate governance variables. According to this study, investment objectives play a part in mediating the relationship between environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) concerns and investment choices. Investment objectives operate as a mediator between environmental and corporate governance considerations, which both have an impact on investment choices. The impact of social considerations on investment decisions is not, however, moderated by investment objectives.

Published: August 2023

In the past the higher education sector was considered invulnerable to competitive forces. However, in the present era, the sector is compelled to compete in the market and convince potential students to enroll. The intensifying competition within the sector has necessitated the adoption of innovative approaches, which has resulted in changes in the learning process and economic aspects during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, some private higher education institutions have experienced a decline in student enrollment. To explore factors influencing the university-specific servitization experience (USSE) and brand resonance, a research study was conducted. 393 students were chosen using a proportional random sampling technique. According to the findings of the study, asset distinctiveness and educational value have a substantial impact on USSE and brand resonance. The findings also revealed that USSE acts as a bridge between asset distinctiveness, brand resonance, and educational value. These results stress the significance of asset specialization and educational value in creating shared experiences between universities and their students, which foster a strong emotional and psychological bond and promote student loyalty towards their institution.

Published: August 2023

The purpose of the current research is to explore the impact of Instagram pages on consumers’ purchasing intentions among millennials in the fashion industry in Jordan. This study uses a quantitative, cause-effect, and cross-sectional approach. Online surveys were used to collect data from 212 respondents through different social media tools. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS software and Smart PLS to test the research hypothesis. Results show that bloggers’ recommendations significantly affect eWOM and engagement; usefulness information significantly affects eWOM and engagement; while trust insignificantly affects eWOM and engagement; brand familiarity insignificantly affects eWOM and engagement; participation and socialization insignificantly affect eWOM and engagement. Finally, useful information, eWOM, and engagement significantly affect consumers buying intention on Instagram. The study gives new information about the influence of Instagram pages on consumers' intentions. Therefore, this research expands the knowledge about factors that affect customers’ buying intentions. Since the study is a quantitative cross-sectional conducted on fashion industry Instagram users through an online survey in Jordan, which may limit its generalization to other industries and countries, therefore, the study suggests applying similar studies to online users of different ages, industries, and countries. Marketers can use Instagram to contact, promote, advertise, and sell their products by developing strong relationships with their customers through different social media tools. Using social media tools for marketing and selling reduces paperwork, printed advertisement, and transportation, which positively affects corporate social responsibility and reduces the consumption of energy and pollution.

Authors: Sosiadi Rohyan , Heru Bambang , Jamaludin Maun
Published: August 2023

Energy efficiency is one of the critical aspects, because the hotel sector has significant energy consumption and has an impact on environmental information. Energy efficiency helps reduce operational costs. By reducing excessive energy consumption, hotels can set a good example of responsible and sustainable business practices. It is important to understand the factors that affect energy efficiency. Some of the relevant factors are knowledge sharing, risk perception, and environmental information. This study aims to analyze the effect of knowledge sharing, risk perception, and environmental information factors on energy efficiency in the hospitality industry. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method with a survey approach. The number of samples used in this study were 176 hotel managers in Indonesia. Questionnaires were distributed to respondents using a Likert scale of 1 to 7. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method using SmartPLS software. The research results conclude that knowledge sharing, perceived risk, and environmental information have a significant influence on energy efficiency in the hospitality industry. Well-informed consumers tend to be more aware of the impact of their decisions and actions on environmental information, so they are more likely to choose hotels that adopt sustainable and energy efficient practices. In addition, the perception of risk also affects energy efficiency in the hospitality industry. Consumers who perceive risks associated with low sustainability or negative environmental information impacts are less likely to choose the hotel. Environmental information factors also play an important role in energy efficiency. Hotels that have an environment that supports and facilitates sustainable practices have the potential to achieve higher energy efficiency.
Balancing quality, cost, and uncertainty in pharmaceutical supply chain: A robust possibilistic flexible programming approach
Authors: Kanan Mohammad
Published: August 2023

The pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) plays a crucial role in ensuring the timely and reliable availability of essential drugs while maintaining high-quality standards. Balancing the triad of cost, time, and quality is paramount in optimizing the complexities of this supply chain. In this research, a multi-objective PSC optimization model is developed to maximize the key business factors. The dynamic nature of the PSC can significantly compromise the effectiveness of the decision making process. To deal with this challenge, a robust possibilistic flexible programming approach (RPFPA) solution methodology is proposed. This methodology provides a robust and flexible framework to tackle the uncertainties within the supply chain. To validate the proposed model and methodology, a computational analysis of a case study is conducted. The results of the analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of the model and methodology in addressing the uncertainties and complexities of the PSC. Specifically, the findings reveal that by accepting a 23.8% increase in costs, decision-makers can achieve a desirable level of robustness in their decisions. Moreover, the study identifies that the assignment of higher priority to cost objectives leads to more centralized decisions within the supply chain, while a greater emphasis on quality objectives results in a more decentralized approach. By employing the proposed approach, decision-makers can efficiently deal with the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the PSC, making well-informed choices that balance cost, time, and quality.

Published: August 2023

Technological advancements affect everyday life; they benefited our daily routines, habits, and activities. Underwater diving is one of the most interesting and attractive activities for tourists worldwide but could be risky and challenging. When paths are not clear, diving might take additional time and effort leading to some health problems. Thus, providing divers with proper direction information to surf underwater can be useful and helpful. Also, monitoring diverse health statuses and alerting them in case of any undesirable condition can increase their safety. Smart devices such as mobiles, watches, sensor devices, cellular networks along with the Internet of Things (IoT) can all provide location-based services. Such services can help in providing the best path for the divers and monitor their health status during diving. This paper proposes a new underwater routing approach, called Underwater Routing for Smart Diving “URSD”, which provides divers with routing information to visit underwater cultural or natural resources and monitors their health status during the diving period. The URSD approach was simulated and compared with the shortest path. Results showed that the URSD helped divers to route within paths that have a larger number of nodes, furthermore, it could enhance and improve divers experience and help them mitigate underwater risks.

During Covid-19, organizations, particularly hospitals, encountered difficulties in providing services. Telemedicine has shown to be an alternative in service provision during these times. Based on this, acceptance of telemedicine in Jordanian public hospitals has become a very important issue to increase the attention of the health care organization toward it. A conceptual model was constructed based on previous literature. The model includes government policy, the capacity of external suppliers, and the capacity of the project team, top management support, as independent variables where their influence on the acceptance of telemedicine in Jordanian public hospitals as a dependent variable is examined. Respondents were chosen using a Purposive sampling technique. Questionnaires were delivered to 320 respondents using Google Forms. SEM was used for statistical analysis. The findings revealed that all the proposed factors including government policy, external supplier capacity, project team capacity, and top management support have a significant influence toward accepting telemedicine. The results of this study may aid Jordanian public hospitals in making the best use of the proposed factors to increase the acceptance of telemedicine in Jordanian public hospitals.

Published: August 2023

IoT devices with weak security designs are a serious threat to organizations. They are the building blocks of Botnets, the platforms that launch organized attacks that are capable of shutting down an entire infrastructure. Researchers have been developing IDS solutions that can counter such threats, often by employing innovation from other disciplines like artificial intelligence and machine learning. One of the issues that may be encountered when machine learning is used is dataset purity. Since they are not captured from perfect environments, datasets may contain data that could affect the machine learning process, negatively. Algorithms already exist for such problems. Repeated Edited Nearest Neighbor (RENN), Encoding Length (Explore), and Decremental Reduction Optimization Procedure 5 (DROP5) algorithm can filter noises out of datasets. They also provide other benefits such as instance reduction which could help reduce larger Botnet datasets, without sacrificing their quality. Three datasets were chosen in this study to construct an IDS: IoTID20, N-BaIoT and MedBIoT. The filtering algorithms, RENN, Explore, and DROP5 were used on them to filter noise and reduce instances. Noise was also injected and filtered again to assess the resilience of these filters. Then feature optimizations were used to shrink the dataset features. Finally, machine learning was applied on the processed dataset and the resulting IDS was evaluated with the standard supervised learning metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, Specificity, F-Score and G-Mean. Results showed that RENN and DROP5 filtering delivered excellent results. DROP5, in particular, managed to reduce the dataset substantially without sacrificing accuracy. However, when noise got injected, the DROP5 accuracy went down and could not keep up. Of the three dataset, N-BaIoT delivers the best accuracy overall across the learning techniques.

The present research endeavors to comprehend the determinants that impact the inclination to utilize financial technology within the context of Islamic banking clientele. The study undertakes an examination of various determinants that may exert an influence on the consumer's intention. These determinants encompass financial risk, legal risk, security risk, operational risk, consumer innovativeness, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness. The technology acceptance model is employed as the theoretical framework for the research. The requisite data for hypothesis testing is collected through the administration of an online survey to consumers of Islamic banks who possess a high degree of adaptability and proficiency in utilizing financial technology. The study employs the methodology of structural equation modelling with partial least squares to assess the proposed relationships among a sample of 399 participants. The results indicate that the acceptance of Islamic Financial technology services is contingent upon the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and consumer innovativeness. In contrast, it is observed that various other factors, namely financial risk, legal risk, security risk, and operational risk, do not hold significant sway in shaping the level of acceptance of Islamic Financial technology among users of Islamic banking services. The concept of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is expanded within the realm of Islamic financial technology, and it is utilized to examine the impact of a novel factor, specifically consumer innovativeness. The untested nature of consumer innovativeness makes this paper a valuable resource for policymakers, academics, and researchers in the future.

Online shopping has developed rapidly in Indonesia since the Covid-19 outbreak, making potential customers frequently browse e-commerce. In e-commerce there is a social commerce construct which is a construction originating from social commerce such as online reviews. Depth from online reviews on a product cannot necessarily be trusted and prospective customers also cannot use other people's experiences as an assessment of product quality. Customer review also considers perceived value from a utilitarian and hedonic perspective. Therefore, this study analyzes the effect of perceived value on browsing behavior in C2C e-commerce with the antecedent depth of review in Indonesia. This study uses SOR (stimulus-organism-response) theory. The population of this study are individuals who live in Indonesia and have done shopping online in one commerce which has facilities online review such as Tokopedia, Blibli, Amazon, Alibaba, and JD.ID. Sampling technique nonprobability sampling by using techniques convenience sampling total 137 samples. The data collection method uses the survey method, while the data analysis method used is PLS-SEM. The results of the study show that depth review affects perceived utilitarian and hedonic values, and perceived utilitarian and hedonic values also affect browsing. Thus, all hypotheses are accepted, which means that there is an influence of perceived value on browsing behavior in C2C e-commerce with an antecedent of review depth. This research can be used as a reference for further studies by digging deeper into the effect of the depth of review on other variables that can have an impact on the viability of a seller's business in e-commerce. This research can be used as a reference for sellers to evaluate and create strategies to encourage customers to give positive reviews so that they can influence other readers when browsing e-commerce where it is hoped that purchases will occur. This research pioneered the study of perceived value of browsing behavior in C2C e-commerce with antecedents of depth of review in Indonesia.

Cordyceps are a form of herb that is nurtured and propagated utilizing organic farming techniques. This study investigated consumers’ intention towards adopting the organic herb cordyceps, also referred to as “Thungchao” in Thai language. The research was driven by increased health awareness among people, and skewness towards use of organic as compared to conventional medication. In Thailand, the herb has been consumed traditionally for years, because of its medical benefits. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was applied to investigate the outcomes of users’ perceptions (perceived experience with organic product, perceived health benefit, information awareness) and TPB aspects (subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, attitude towards organic herb) to examine intentions of consumers’ towards adopting codyceps. The research collected primary data from 452 Thai respondents. Collected data were evaluated utilizing Structural Equation Modeling analysis. Results revealed that for the perceived customers’ experience, intention to use organic herb cordyceps was positively and significantly influenced by perceived experience with organic hers and information awareness. All the TPB variables – subjective norm, perceived behavior control, and attitude towards organic herbs – significantly and positively influence consumers’ intention towards organic herb cordyceps. The research recommended that organic herb cordyceps “Thungchao” has many medical benefits, and its consumption should be encouraged. Information awareness and sharing of the knowledge of the herb’s medical requirement and benefits, resources and dosage are necessary to encourage or rather influence consumers intention.
