This research investigates the underlying factors that shape the interest of students from the 2024 cohort in enrolling in the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering Education Program at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Padang. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative methodology, data were gathered through a structured, closed-ended questionnaire administered to the entire cohort, which consisted of 89 students. The analysis reveals that the overall level of student interest is categorized as high, with a notable percentage of 55%. Several key variables were identified as influential: (1) self-awareness factors encompassing physical capabilities, intellectual aptitude, intrinsic motivation, and innate talent were rated in the very high category at 56%; (2) familial influences such as the provision of information, emotional support, and parenting styles also ranked very high at 46%; (3) school-related elements including the accessibility of school information systems, teacher roles, peer dynamics, and hands on learning experiences were classified in the high category with 44%; and (4) social media engagement specifically the frequency of use and the quality of educational content was likewise in the high category, scoring 48%. These findings underscore the multifaceted nature of student decision-making, with self-awareness emerging as the most prominent determinant in shaping academic program choices. The study highlights the need for educational institutions to consider these interrelated dimensions when developing recruitment strategies and academic guidance frameworks.

This study aims to analyze the effect of tax knowledge, tax sanctions, and tax socialization on individual taxpayer compliance. The research was conducted at the Tax Service, Counseling, and Consultation Office (KP2KP) Wonogiri using a quantitative approach.

Background: Children are vulnerable to air pollution, especially in their early life and so far there are no personal hygiene promotion strategies specifically aimed at addressing health threats or vulnerabilities in children in industrial areas. Therefore, the study aimed to determine teachers' views on air pollution and personal hygiene promotion strategies for children's health. Methods: This study used a quantitative method conducted with structured interviews. Respondents in this study were kindergarten teachers who taught in Ngaliyan District, totaling 95 teachers. The data analysis technique used was theme analysis technique. Results: Based on the interview results, teachers' views on air pollution are categorized as good. Respondents can mention sources of information about air pollution, causes of air pollution, the effect of air pollution on children's health, and diseases that arise due to air pollution. Teachers' views regarding personal hygiene promotion strategies are not good, especially in protecting children's health from air pollution. Conclusion: Teachers' views on air pollution are good but in personal hygiene promotion strategies, especially related to protecting children's health from exposure and the impact of air pollution, counseling, seminars, workshops, or similar activities are still rare. This study is expected to contribute to early childhood education, especially related to children's health.

Traditional medicine has been believed for generations to be effective in treating various diseases and is recognized for its safety. One reason people opt for herbal medicine is its affordability compared to chemical drugs. Additionally, herbal medicine is required to be free of medicinal chemicals (BKO). However, a public warning issued between 2020 and 2025 indicated that some herbal preparations still contained substances like sildenafil citrate and caffeine. The aim of this research is to establish a validated analytical method to detect the presence of sildenafil citrate and caffeine in stamina-enhancing herbal medicines using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) with densitometry. This method was selected due to its cost-effectiveness and its ability to separate two compounds. In this study, category II validation was conducted to identify impurities in the preparations, focusing on test parameters such as selectivity and Limit of Detection (LOD). The selected mobile phase for this study was a mixture of chloroform and ethanol (9.5:0.5 v/v). The TLC plate was analyzed with a densitometer at a wavelength of 254 nm. The Rf value for sildenafil citrate was found to be 0.32, while the Rf value for caffeine was 0.52, resulting in a separation (Rs) value of 2. The LOD for sildenafil citrate was determined to be 8.5418 ?l/ml (equivalent to 0.0854 mg in a 600 mg sample), whereas the LOD for caffeine was 4.7987 ?l/ml (or 0.0959 mg in a 600 mg sample).

The high rate of employee turnover in the café business, along with café Sapa Seduh's record-high turnover of 40% in the past year, prompted the research. The study used a quantitative methodology with an explanatory focus. With complete sampling as the method of selection, the population comprised all eighteen permanent employees. A validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire was used to gather data. Multiple linear regression in SPSS version 26 was used to analyse the data. The findings indicated that there was a significant partial effect of the workload variable on turnover intention (significance value 0.000 < 0.05), but no significant partial effect of the compensation variable (significance value 0.481 > 0.05). Nevertheless, the combination of workload and compensation had a notable impact on turnover intention (significance value 0.000 < 0.05), as determined by an Adjusted R Square value of 0.851. These results show that employees' intention to leave is most affected by workload. Consequently, in order to lower turnover rates, management should prioritise the equitable management of staff workloads.

This study aims to analyze the effect of rebranding on consumer loyalty, with brand image as a mediating variable—a case study on Twitter’s rebranding to X. A quantitative approach was employed, using a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 134 respondents. The collected data were analyzed using SmartPLS 4 software. The results indicate that rebranding does not have a direct effect on consumer loyalty. However, rebranding has a significant effect on brand image, and brand image, in turn, has a significant effect on consumer loyalty. The results of the indirect effect test, conducted using the bootstrapping method, also show that brand image significantly mediates the relationship between rebranding and consumer loyalty. Based on these findings, companies planning to implement a rebranding strategy are advised to focus on developing a positive, strong, and relevant brand image.

Musyarakah financing is a strategic tool to empower Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) through justice, collaboration, and profit-sharing based on Islamic principles. This study explores the implementation of musyarakah contracts in MSEs, identifies existing challenges, and proposes optimization strategies. Through a literature review, the study reveals that while musyarakah provides fair, interest-free financing, its application is limited by low Islamic financial literacy, weak oversight, and limited technological and managerial capabilities among MSE actors. Despite these issues, musyarakah plays a vital role in expanding access to capital, improving business practices, and strengthening MSEs' position in the national economy. Optimization can be achieved through enhanced education, stronger and sustainable partnerships, simplified regulations, and digital integration. With these improvements, musyarakah has strong potential to serve as an inclusive, sustainable instrument aligned with Islamic economic values, contributing significantly to the growth and resilience of the MSE sector.Keywords : Islamic Finance, Micro and Small Enterprises, Musyarakah.
