Penerapan Model Com-B untuk Memprediksi Minat Adopsi Pupuk Organik pada Petani Hortikultura di Kabupaten Bone Bolango

2026-07-27T02:09:00+00:00

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the adoption of organic fertilizers among horticultural farmers in Bone Bolango Regency using the COM-B framework (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation–Behavior). A quantitative approach was employed through a structured questionnaire survey administered to 68 respondents, determined using the Slovin formula and selected through accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine the effects of capability, opportunity, and motivation on organic fertilizer adoption behavior. The results indicate that motivation has a significant effect on adoption behavior, while capability and opportunity do not show significant effects. These findings suggest that internal drive, perceived benefits, and the intention to adopt are the primary determinants of adoption, whereas technical capacity and environmental support have not sufficiently differentiated adoption levels among farmers. In practice, several constraints remain, including limited technical skills, uncertainty in the availability of raw materials, and restricted access to facilities, information, and extension services. Therefore, strengthening technical training, implementing practice-based extension programs, providing demonstration plots, and fostering partnerships alongside policy support are essential to enhance the sustainable adoption of organic fertilizers.

Exploring The Role of Teachers in the Implementing English Language Teaching Strategies at SMPN 2 Telaga

2026-07-27T03:11:29+00:00

This study aims to explore the roles of teachers in implementing English language teaching strategies at SMPN 2 Telaga. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of lesson plans. The findings reveal two contrasting pedagogical orientations. One teacher adopts a teacher-centered approach that emphasizes structured instruction and linguistic accuracy but limits student interaction. In contrast, the other teacher applies a student-centered and communicative approach that actively promotes student engagement, participation, and confidence in using English. The study further indicates that the student-centered approach is more effective in fostering meaningful learning, although challenges remain in addressing differences in students’ confidence and participation levels. These findings highlight that effective English language teaching requires the integration of pedagogical, communicative, and affective aspects. Teachers are therefore encouraged to balance structured instruction with interactive learning, provide both corrective and supportive feedback, and create a motivating classroom environment to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

Pengaruh Nilai Tukar terhadap Tingkat Kemiskinan di Indonesia Periode 1986-2024

2026-07-27T03:54:49+00:00

This study aims to analyze the long-run effect of the exchange rate on poverty levels in Indonesia during the 1986–2024 period, test the cointegration relationship between the exchange rate and poverty, and identify the transmission mechanism through imported inflation and purchasing power. The data used are annual time series secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and Bank Indonesia (BI). The analytical methods employed include multiple linear regression, Vector Autoregression (VAR), and the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model as the primary method. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) stationarity test reveals that the exchange rate variable is stationary at first difference I(1). The long-run ARDL estimation results indicate that the exchange rate has a significant negative effect at the 10 percent level on poverty, with a coefficient of -2.526. This implies that rupiah appreciation tends to reduce poverty through price stability and purchasing power mechanisms. Conversely, currency depreciation raises import prices, drives domestic inflation, and worsens the welfare of poor households. The Bounds Test confirms a long-run cointegration relationship between the exchange rate and poverty. These findings imply that exchange rate stability is an essential prerequisite for effective poverty alleviation policies in Indonesia.

The results showed that product display had a positive and significant effect on consumer purchase intention, with a t-value of 2.524 greater than the t-table value of 1.984. Store atmosphere also had a positive and significant effect on consumer purchase intention, with a t-value of 5.347 greater than the t-table value of 1.984. Simultaneously, product display and store atmosphere had a positive and significant effect on consumer purchase intention, with an f-value of 113.927 greater than the f-table value of 3.09. The magnitude of the influence of both variables was 70.1%, while the remaining 29.9% was influenced by other factors outside this study.

Analisis Penerapan Informasi Akuntansi Manajemen dalam Perencanaan Anggaran Pemerintah Desa

2026-07-27T03:00:01+00:00

This study aims to analyze the application of management accounting information in improving the quality of budget planning in Permata Village, Tilongkabila District, Bone Bolango Regency. This study employed a qualitative method, with data obtained through documentation and informants involved in the village planning and budgeting processes. The analysis focused on the use of management accounting information in determining programs, establishing priorities, allocating budgets, and assessing the alignment between planned activities and the village’s financial capacity. The results showed that the application of management accounting information in budget planning was not yet optimal. Although the planning process had been conducted through village deliberations, the information used as a basis for determining program needs and budget allocations remained inadequate. This condition resulted in discrepancies between planned programs and available budgets. Several programs planned for 2025 could not be implemented due to budget limitations and budget reallocations to address more urgent needs. Therefore, the Permata Village Government needs to improve the quality of management accounting information so that it is more accurate, relevant, and consistent with the village’s financial conditions. The optimal application of such information is expected to support priority setting, improve the effectiveness and efficiency of budgeting, and ensure that planned programs can be implemented in accordance with community needs. The findings highlight the importance of integrating management accounting information into village budget planning and decision-making processes.

Analysis of Ambiguity in Humor: A Pragmatic Analysis of Wordplay in YouTube Channel “We Got The Chocolates”

2026-07-27T03:37:51+00:00

This study is grounded in the linguistic phenomenon of phonetic ambiguity as a strategy to create verbal humor in digital spoken discourse. The objective is to analyze how segmental sound structures are realised in phonetic wordplay and elucidate how these structures trigger dual meaning interpretations through a pragmatic framework. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed, using spoken dialogues from the "We Got The Chocolates" YouTube channel as the primary data source. Data were collected through systematic observation and transcription of five purposively selected videos, then analysed using a co-textual pragmatic approach in conjunction with International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions and Grice's Cooperative Principle. The findings reveal two primary operational patterns: Perfect Puns (13 instances) relying on absolute homophony, and Imperfect Puns (17 instances) relying on phonetic similitude. These phonetic manipulations consistently trigger humor through a calculated strategy of multiple maxim flouting, where the flouting of the Maxim of Manner via acoustic camouflage is systematically paired with the flouting of the Maxim of Quality or the Maxim of Relation. The study concludes that spoken humor operates as a cognitive resolution process where structural acoustic illusion and narrative incongruity mutually reinforce each other. However, limitations include the restriction to segmental sound manipulation (excluding suprasegmental features) and the reliance on interpretative qualitative pragmatic methodology.

Impoliteness Impoliteness Strategies in Amy Poehler’s Moxie (2021): A Pragmatic Analysis

2026-07-27T04:00:10+00:00

This study aims to identify the types of impoliteness strategies and determine the most dominant strategy employed by the characters in the movie Moxie (2021). Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method, this research applied Jonathan Culpeper’s (1996) impoliteness theory to systematically analyze the cinematic dialogues. Data were collected through movie observation, note-taking, and transcription. The findings reveal a total of 31 instances of impoliteness, comprising five strategies: bald on record (9 data), positive impoliteness (15 data), negative impoliteness (4 data), sarcasm or mock politeness (2 data), and withhold politeness (1 datum). Positive impoliteness emerged as the most dominant strategy. The frequent use of positive impoliteness indicates that characters primarily attack the interlocutors' social identity and need for approval, utilizing relational aggression and social exclusion. In conclusion, impoliteness in Moxie functions beyond mere offensive language; it acts as a strategic communicative tool for characters to negotiate power, construct social hierarchies, and express resistance within a complex adolescent environment.

Kajian Laboratorium Laju Resapan Prime Coat Aspal Emulsi Anionik pada Lapis Fondasi Atas

2026-07-27T04:09:55+00:00

This study aims to analyze the infiltration rate of anionic emulsion asphalt used as a prime coat on Class A aggregate base course and to evaluate its compliance with the 2018 Bina Marga General Specifications Revision II. A laboratory experimental method was employed using transparent acrylic cube containers to observe asphalt penetration into the aggregate base over a 48-hour period. Two types of anionic emulsion asphalt, SS-1h and SS-2h, were tested under controlled observation throughout the testing period. The results showed that SS-1h exhibited better infiltration performance than SS-2h, reaching an average penetration depth of 1.47 inches (3.74 cm), with the penetration rate beginning to stabilize after the fourth hour. Nevertheless, the residual asphalt measured after 48 hours was 0.78 l/m² for SS-1h and 0.85 l/m² for SS-2h, both exceeding the specified range of 0.22–0.72 l/m². These findings indicate that although SS-1h provides greater penetration, neither emulsion fully satisfies the residual asphalt requirement. The infiltration process is affected by emulsion breaking, which produces solid bitumen particles that progressively block aggregate pores and restrict fluid movement. This resistance interacts with capillary action, surface tension, and asphalt viscosity, while ambient temperature further influences the infiltration behavior during laboratory testing under study conditions.

An An Investigation of Lexical Choices in Translation Among EFL Students

2026-07-27T04:05:02+00:00

This study aims to (1) identify and describe the characteristics of lexical choices in EFL students’ Indonesian–English translations and (2) investigate the factors influencing students’ lexical choices during the translation process. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 20 fourth-semester EFL students at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo enrolled in a Translation and Interpreting course. Data were collected through handwritten translations of an argumentative text and semi-structured retrospective interviews with five selected participants. The translation products were analyzed using Baker’s (1992) framework of meaning, comprising propositional, expressive, presupposed, and evoked meaning, while interview data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings showed that students generally preserved propositional meaning but experienced greater difficulties with expressive, presupposed, and evoked meanings, particularly in conveying evaluative nuances, producing natural collocations, and maintaining appropriate register. Five interconnected factors influenced students’ lexical choices: limited vocabulary mastery, reliance on dictionaries and machine translation, cognitive factors, limited contextual understanding, and register and source language influence. All five interviewed students reported using Google Translate or DeepL, while four out of five did not consider alternative lexical choices. These findings highlight the need for translation instruction that develops collocational awareness, contextual understanding, register awareness, and critical evaluation of machine translation output.

Perancangan UI/UX Sistem Informasi Manajemen Jurusan Teknik Informatika Menggunakan Design Thinking Pengujian SUS dan UEQ

2026-07-31T01:34:02+00:00

The Informatics Engineering Department at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG) does not yet have an integrated management information system at the department level, so students, lecturers, and administrative staff must navigate separate platforms, such as SIAT/SIAKAD and SISKP, to meet their daily academic and administrative needs. This fragmentation (data silos) leads to inefficiency and low user satisfaction, yet no user-centered interface currently unifies these services at the department level. This study therefore aims to design a user interface (UI/UX) for a department-level Management Information System (SIM) using a Design Thinking approach, and to quantitatively evaluate its usability and user experience quality. Design Thinking was applied through five stages: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. User needs were identified through user journey observations and in-depth interviews, and were then synthesized into Empathy Maps, Affinity Diagrams, and User Personas for three primary user groups: students, lecturers, and administrative staff. The Ideate stage produced an information architecture, user flows, and wireframes, which were subsequently developed into a high-fidelity interactive prototype in Figma. Design feasibility was evaluated with 30 respondents using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The prototype obtained an average SUS score of 83.67, classified as Acceptable (Grade B) with a "Good" rating, and an "Excellent" rating on all six UEQ scales: Stimulation (2.583), Attractiveness (2.572), Efficiency (2.525), Accuracy (2.525), Clarity (2.400), and Novelty (2.342), placing it in the top 10% of 468 digital products in the international UEQ benchmark database. The study's output is a validated high-fidelity interactive prototype covering 11 user flows for three primary user roles, providing a ready-to-use technical blueprint for the department's full system development.

Pengaruh Transparansi dan Akuntabilitas terhadap Pengelolaan Dana Desa dengan Internal Control sebagai Variabel Moderasi

2026-07-29T06:17:58+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of transparency and accountability on village fund management and to examine the role of internal control as a moderating variable in village governments in Tabongo District, Gorontalo Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with a causal associative research design. The population consisted of 110 village government officials from nine villages in Tabongo District, while 36 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with IBM SPSS Statistics version 26. The results indicate that transparency and accountability have a positive and significant effect on village fund management. Furthermore, internal control moderates the effect of transparency on village fund management and is classified as pure moderation, although the moderating effect weakens the relationship. Meanwhile, internal control does not moderate the effect of accountability on village fund management and is therefore classified as homologiser moderation. These findings indicate that improving the quality of village fund management is influenced by the implementation of transparency and accountability, while the effectiveness of internal control only plays a role in the relationship between transparency and village fund management.

Pengaruh Audit Delay dan Sustainability Reporting Terhadap Harga Saham di Perusahaan Sektor Energi yang Terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia Tahun 2021-2024

2026-08-03T01:29:42+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of audit delay and sustainability reporting on the stock prices of energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period, examining both partial and simultaneous effects. A quantitative approach with an explanatory design was employed, utilizing secondary data obtained from annual reports, audited financial statements, sustainability reports, and stock price data. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique based on established criteria, resulting in a sample of 39 companies and a total of 156 observations over the four-year period. Data analysis utilized panel data multiple linear regression, encompassing descriptive statistics, panel data regression model selection, classical assumption testing, and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that audit delay does not have a significant effect on stock prices. Sustainability reporting, however, significantly affects stock prices, albeit with a negative regression coefficient. Meanwhile, audit delay and sustainability reporting do not have a significant simultaneous effect on stock prices. These findings suggest that investors in the energy sector do not yet prioritize audit delay when making investment decisions, whereas sustainability information has garnered market attention, even if the market response has not always been positive. Stock price movements in the energy sector during the study period appear to have been driven primarily by company fundamentals, energy commodity prices, macroeconomic conditions, and market sentiment.

This study aims to determine the species composition and intensity of rice stem borer attacks. This study was conducted from March to October 2025 in Poowo Village, Kabila District, Bone Bolanggo Regency and in Talaki Village, Paleleh District, Buol Regency, and at the Plant Pest and Disease Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Gorontalo State University. This study used a survey method by sampling rice stem borer larvae and adults from the field using light traps for 10 weeks at weekly intervals. The intensity of rice stem borer attacks was observed at five plant points using the diagonal method at 2-10 weeks after planting (WAP). The results showed that there were three species of rice stem borers found, namely Scirpophaga incertulas (yellow rice stem borer), Scirpophaga innotata (white rice stem borer) and Chilo suppressalis (striped rice stem borer). Chilo suppressalis was the most dominant species found during the study at 54%, followed by Scirpophaga inotata at 36% and Scirpophaga incertulas at 10%. The intensity of rice stem borer attacks fluctuated, because the value fluctuated during the observation period from 2 to 10 WAP.

Exploring Students’ Barriers to English Reading Comprehension at SMP Negeri 2 Suwawa

2026-09-10T07:57:21+00:00

This study aims to explore the linguistic and non-linguistic factors that hinder eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Suwawa in comprehending English reading texts, and to determine which of these factors are most dominant. A descriptive qualitative design was applied, with data collected through a questionnaire distributed to 25 students and in-depth interviews with 5 selected students, and then analysed thematically. The results show that linguistic difficulties are dominated by limited vocabulary, followed by grammatical and spelling difficulties, which hinder students from identifying main ideas, locating specific information, and drawing inferences. Non-linguistic, the students' social environment, teaching strategies, and inadequate facilities also contribute, with low motivation and interest emerging as the most dominant factor; students reported giving up easily and reading only to complete school assignments. Most students further indicated that videos and LCD projectors support their comprehension. These findings indicate that students' difficulties stem not only from language mastery but also from affective and instructional conditions, and suggest that English teachers apply more varied, creative, and interactive strategies supported by audio-visual media.

The aviation industry requires competent pilots who are able to complete professional training programs within the expected timeframe. However, delayed graduation among cadets in the Commercial Pilot License (CPL) Program at the Indonesian Aviation Academy (API) Banyuwangi remains a challenge that may affect the efficiency of pilot training management. This study aims to examine the influence of individual, instructional, facility-related, and academic factors on graduation delay among CPL cadets and to identify the most dominant factor contributing to delayed graduation. A quantitative approach with a causal research design was employed involving 80 cadets and alumni who experienced graduation delays. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that the research instrument meets validity and reliability criteria, and all classical assumption tests for regression analysis are satisfied. Cadet motivation, flight instructor quality, and simulation facilities and equipment have significant negative effects on graduation delay, whereas academic procrastination and academic workload have significant positive effects. Among these factors, academic procrastination is identified as the most dominant predictor of graduation delay. The regression model explains 63.8% of the variance in graduation delay. These findings highlight the importance of integrated strategies, including strengthening cadet motivation, minimizing academic procrastination, optimizing academic workload management, and improving instructor quality and training facilities to reduce graduation delays and enhance the effectiveness of aviation education at API Banyuwangi.

2026-09-10T07:59:08+00:00

This study evaluates the implementation success and multidimensional alignment of the Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS) at RSUD Tombulilato using the Human, Organization, Technology–Fit (HOT-Fit) framework and examines the effects of technological and organizational dimensions on system use, user satisfaction, and organizational net benefits. A descriptive quantitative evaluative approach was employed using total sampling of 122 active SIMRS users, including medical personnel, administrative staff, and IT specialists. Data were collected through a structured four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4, including out-of-sample prediction through PLSpredict. Descriptively, all HOT-Fit dimensions were rated “Very Good” (84.8%–88.8%). However, the technology dimension did not significantly affect user satisfaction, including system quality (β=0.075, p=0.340), information quality (β=0.026, p=0.734), and service quality (β=−0.082, p=0.185). In contrast, organizational structure strongly influenced system use (β=0.717, p<0.001, f²=1.058), while organizational environment significantly affected user satisfaction (β=0.531, p<0.001, f²=0.468). System use did not significantly affect net benefits (β=0.105, p=0.385). User satisfaction was the significant pathway to organizational net benefits (β=0.728, p<0.001, f²=0.526), with R² values of 0.816 for satisfaction and 0.667 for net benefits. The findings indicate that in mandatory-use settings, organizational governance and user satisfaction are more important for realizing net benefits than usage frequency alone.

Pengaruh Budaya Organisasi dan Moralitas Individu terhadap Pencegahan Kecurangan dengan Pengendalian Internal sebagai Variabel Moderasi

2026-09-10T07:27:53+00:00

This study aimed to analyze the effects of organizational culture and individual morality on fraud prevention, with internal control as a moderating variable, within the Regional Government Organizations of the Gorontalo City Government. The study employed a quantitative survey approach, with questionnaires distributed to 58 respondents, comprising heads and treasurers from 21 regional government organizations. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings revealed that organizational culture had no significant effect on fraud prevention, whereas individual morality had a positive and significant effect. Internal control did not moderate the relationship between organizational culture and fraud prevention, but moderated the effect of individual morality on fraud prevention. These findings indicated that fraud prevention in the public sector was more strongly affected by individual internal factors, supported by an affective internal control system, than by organizational culture alone. This study provides empirical contributions to the literature on fraud prevention in the government sector and serves as a basis for strengthening the integrity of government officials and the effectiveness of internal controls in promoting good governance.

2026-09-10T07:18:37+00:00

This study aimed to analyze the influence of digital banking implementation on operational efficiency at PT Bank SulutGo Gorontalo City Branch during the observation period. This study employed a quantitative approach using an explanatory design. The data used were secondary data consisting of fluctuations in the number of BSGTouch application users and the Operating Expenses to Operating Income Ratio (Biaya Operasional terhadap Pendapatan Operasional/BOPO) obtained from the bank's internal reports. All monthly time- series observational data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, simple linear regression, hypothesis testing, and the coefficient of determination, with the assistance of statistical software. The findings showed that the BSGTouch user base experienced substantial growth over the observation period. The regression analysis produced an equation model indicating that the implementation of digital banking had a positive influence on the BOPO ratio. The hypothesis test results statistically confirmed that the digital banking variable had a significant effect on operational efficiency. The coefficient of determination indicated that most of the variation in BOPO fluctuations was explained by the implementation of digital banking. These findings provide empirical evidence of the digital paradox, whereby the rapid acceleration of digital service adoption is accompanied by increased short-term operational costs due to in information technology substantial nfrastructure, system investments maintenance, cybersecurity, and customer education. Nevertheless, the bank's overall BOPO level was estimated to remain within the healthy category in accordance with the regulatory standards.

Sistem Informasi Manajemen Aset dan Persediaan Berbasis Web Sebagai Instrumen Akuntabilitas Pengelolaan Barang Milik Negara

2026-09-10T08:05:16+00:00

This study aimed to design and develop a web-based Asset and Inventory Management Information System named SIPANDU to support accountability in the management of State-Owned Property at the Educational Quality Assurance Center (Balai Penjaminan Mutu Pendidikan/BPMP) of Gorontalo Province. The existing management process for State-Owned Property, which still relied on semi-manual procedures, resulted in reporting delays of up to six months, inaccurate asset data, and administrative inefficiency. The system was developed using the waterfall methodology and implemented in PHP with the Laravel framework, backed by a MySQL database. Requirements analysis was conducted using the PIECES framework, while the system design was modeled using UML. The developed system accommodates eight levels of user access rights and automates loan requests, inventory movement tracking, and the generation of Handover Minutes (Berita Acara Serah Terima/BAST). Unit testing using White Box Testing showed that the critical stock-update function had a Cyclomatic Complexity of six independent paths, all of which passed the tests, while Black Box Testing confirmed that all 47 functional scenarios passed. Usability testing involving 25 respondents resulted in a System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 85.60, categorized as “Excellent” and “Acceptable.” These results indicate that SIPANDU is expected to support a more centralized and traceable process for recording State-Owned Property, although the SUS results should be interpreted as an initial indicator rather than a generalizable finding due to the limitations of the convenience sampling technique used.
