Bioassay the Composition of the Organic Pot as a Container Media for Balsa (Ocrhoma bicolor Rowlee) Growth in Nursery
Get PDFForestry plant seedling production uses non-eco-friendly polybags. Organic pots are a solution that can be applied. This research aimed to analyze the composition and size of raw materials in organic pots for balsa growth and to examine the composition of raw materials in organic pots appropriate for balsa growth. This study used a factorial complete randomized design (CRD). There are two factors: the organic pot composition factor (A) and the mesh size factor (M). The observed parameters included the C/N ratio of organic pots, height, diameter, biomass, and plant chlorophyll content. The results showed that the highest percentage decrease in the C/N ratio was found in the A3M2 treatment. The highest average value of balsa plant growth was found in the A3M2 treatment (15% newspaper, 80% goat manure, 5% cocopeat, and ten mesh material size). The highest chlorophyll content was found in A3M1 treatments (15% newspaper, 80% goat manure, 5%cocopeat, five mesh material size). Organic pots with low C/N ratio values had higher average increases in height and diameter of plants compared to organic pots with high C/N ratio values. The optimal composition of the organic pot in this study was the A3M2 treatment.

The Influence of The Financial Sector on The Success of Micro Enterprises in Surabaya City
Get PDFBackground: Micro enterprises in Indonesia are the largest in number compared to small and medium enterprises. Micro enterprises are spread throughout Indonesia, including Surabaya City. Micro enterprises will succeed if supported by good internal and external management of the business units. External factors come from outside the micro enterprise, while internal factors come from within the micro enterprise, one of which is the financial sector. Variables related to the financial sector include financial literacy, financial attitude, financial inclusion, business capital, and digital financial systems. Micro enterprises require research on financial variables to achieve success.Objective: This research aims to analyze the influence of financial factors, consisting of financial literacy, financial attitude, financial inclusion, business capital, and digital financial systems on the success of micro enterprises.Design/methodology/approach: This study is quantitative research using secondary data. The research involves 70 micro enterprises that received assistance from Ciputra University Surabaya. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data analysis employs multiple linear regression analysis on micro enterprise data. The research location is in Surabaya City, corresponding to the location of micro enterprises that received assistance from Ciputra University Surabaya.Finding/result: The research findings show that the significance values for financial literacy and financial attitude variables are 0.00, which is less than 0.05 (α = 5%). This indicates that the financial literacy and financial attitude variables significantly influence the success of micro enterprises in Surabaya City. The significance values for financial inclusion, business capital, and digital financial systems are greater than 0.05 (α = 5%). This means that the success of micro enterprises assisted by Ciputra University Surabaya is not significantly influenced by the financial inclusion, business capital, and digital financial systems variables.Conclusion: Micro enterprises succeed when they enhance their knowledge of financial literacy and financial attitudes. This improvement can be achieved when micro enterprises participate in assistance and training from Ciputra University Surabaya.Originality/value (state of the art): This study finds that increasing financial literacy knowledge in micro enterprises has the greatest impact on their success.

Exploring the Impact of Perceived Justice and Complaint Handling Satisfaction on Trust and Commitment in Indonesia\u27s E-commerce Fashion Sector
Get PDFBackground: Indonesia\u27s rapid growth in the e-commerce fashion sector presents opportunities and challenges, particularly in addressing consumer dissatisfaction during post-purchase experiences. Key challenges include product misrepresentation, delivery delays, or unmet expectations, which can lead to negative behaviors such as complaints, reduced loyalty, and distrust toward sellers.
Purpose: This study investigates the impact of perceived justice dimensions—interactional, procedural, and distributive—on satisfaction with complaint handling and its subsequent effects on customer trust, customer commitment, and customer loyalty.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional survey with a purposive sampling technique, collecting data from 174 respondents in the Jabodetabek region. Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was used for analysis.
Findings: This research reveals that distributive and procedural justice significantly influence complaint handling, while interactional justice has a smaller yet notable impact. Complaint handling, in turn, significantly enhances both customer commitment and customer trust, with customer commitment emerging as a stronger driver of customer loyalty. Notably, customer trust\u27s direct effect on customer loyalty is insignificant, suggesting that emotional engagement through commitment plays a more pivotal role in fostering loyalty.
Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of fair complaint resolutions, efficient processes, and empathetic communication in maintaining customer relationships.
Research implication: The findings provide actionable insights for e-commerce businesses to improve customer satisfaction with complaint handling, particularly emphasizing the critical roles of distributive justice and procedural justice in fostering satisfaction

Improving Broiler Chicken Farming Management in Closed Houses
Get PDFGenetic improvements in broiler chickens represent a major advancement in the poultry industry. Through selective breeding techniques, broiler chickens now exhibit remarkably fast growth and improved feed conversion efficiency. Observations were conducted by comparing data from the previous period with suboptimal management and the new period with optimal management. The Coops with good management were observed over one period (approximately 6 weeks). The result were made by comparing the data between the suboptimal management with the improved management, and both sets of data were compared with the international Cobb 2021 standards. The measured variables included: depletion (%), feed consumption (g/bird), body weight (g/bird), feed conversion, performance index, and profit. Improvements in environmental conditions or milieu (temperature, humidity, feed management, water, ventilation, and litter) resulted to more optimal production performance. Depletion, feed consumption, body weight, and feed conversion met the company’s standards (body weight 2.5 kg, feed conversion 1.45, and performance index 450). The final performance was categorized as excellent, with a performance index of 512. Additionally, the profit from the new management was higher at Rp. 9,772 per bird than the old management Rp. 2,570 per bird
