Exploring Internal Marketing, Employee Satisfaction, and Commitment for Customer Orientation at Anutapura Palu Hospital Moderated by Cultural Congruence

This research aims to explore the direct influence of internal marketing on employee satisfaction, organizational commitment and consumer orientation, as well as examining the indirect impact of internal marketing on consumer orientation. An additional focus of this study is to identify the important role of cultural congruence in organizational contexts. This type of research is descriptive-causal research. This survey used 100 respondents from employees at Anutapura Hospital, Kota Palu, Sulawesi Tengah. Respondents were selected using proportional stratified sampling, which implies that the number of employees depends on the size of the division. The analysis technique that will be used in this research is the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis technique using the SmartPLS partial least squares (PLS) application. The results of this research found that internal marketing has a positive effect on employee satisfaction, organizational commitment and customer orientation in hospitals. In addition, employee satisfaction and organizational commitment were found to be able to mediate the relationship between internal marketing and customer orientation. Cultural congruence identified in this research was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between internal marketing and employee satisfaction, but not on organizational commitment. The implications of this research are that management needs to pay greater attention to the development of effective internal marketing strategies. Apart from that, management must also consider cultural congruence in managing the organization.

The Role of Ngos in Localizing UN-REDD+ In Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia

This study explores the role of national and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in localizing the UNREDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) norm in Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia. UN-REDD+ aims to mitigate climate change by promoting sustainable forest management in developing countries. Sulawesi Tengah was selected as a pilot province due to its extensive forest cover and relatively undisturbed deforestation activities. However, despite international support, the initiative encountered resistance from local communities, influenced by national and local NGOs. This research examines the complex interactions among international, national, and local NGOs by applying Acharya's norm localization theory. While international NGOs provided technical expertise, local NGOs significantly shaped the community perspective. These local NGOs raised concerns about the potential exploitation of forests and disruption to indigenous cultural values, fuelling opposition to the program. Consequently, the localization failed, and UN-REDD+ was discontinued in Sulawesi Tengah in 2012. The findings highlight the importance of considering local actors and their concerns in global environmental governance. Local NGOs, closely connected to communities, played a decisive role in rejecting the program, underscoring it, and addressing local values and governance issues.

Molimbu as Civil Sphere in Developing a Harmonious Congregation: A Case Study from Poso, Central Celebes, Indonesia

Abstract This article provides a socio-theological study of Molimbu, a local tradition of collective feasting found among the Pamona people in the province of Central Sulawesi in Indonesia. It specifically explores the impact of Molimbu on the Zaitun Dulumai congregation, which is part of the Gereja Kristen Sulawesi Tengah (Central Sulawesi Christian Church, GKST), located in Poso, a city in Central Sulawesi (also known as Celebes), Indonesia. This article explores the manner in which Molimbu contributes to the civil sphere by building harmony within the church. Congregations in this part of Indonesia have been deeply impacted by external Christian values, leadership, and forces that are associated with European missions. But this is not the full story. In the Dulumai congregation, the church is also regulated by the agency of the local tradition called Molimbu. As an ethnic tradition and part of the congregation’s community life, Molimbu becomes a solidarity space connecting every participating individual. The research objective of this article is to describe and analyze Molimbu as a cultural practice that contributes to the civil sphere by building a harmonious congregation at GKST Zaitun Dulumai. The research method used is qualitative and descriptive. The results show that Molimbu contributes significantly to the civil sphere in constructing harmonious Christian congregations by activating sublime values such as equality and respect. Those values foster and nurture harmony within the congregation and are indicated through the traditional Christian concepts of koinonia (fellowship), diakonia (ministry), and maturia (witness).

Multilevel modelling of the determinants of low birth weight in frontier, outermost and underdeveloped regions: Evidence from the Indonesian National Socioeconomic Survey (2019–2021)

BackgroundThe prevalence of low-birthweight infants is increasing in Indonesia. A low birth weight can have a negative effect on a child's development. Understanding the factors influencing low birth weight may enable preventative actions. AimTo analyse the determinant factors of low-birthweight infants in frontier, outermost and underdeveloped regions in Indonesia. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using a secondary dataset from the Indonesian National Socioeconomic Survey, 2019–2021. The sample included 27,678 inhabitants aged 16–64 years. The Indonesian regions of Nusa Tenggara Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Sulawesi Tengah, Sulawesi Tenggara, Gorontalo, Maluku, Maluku Utara, Papua and Papua Barat were included. A multilevel logistic regression was conducted to determine the relationship between variables. p < 0.05 was considered to indicate significance in the fixed-effects model findings. FindingsWomen who lived in a rural area [OR 1.176, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.088–0.235] and had never used contraception (OR 1.227, 95 % CI 0.096–0.313) were more likely to have low-birthweight infants. In contrast, water resources, social assistance/welfare, maternal age and gross domestic product per capita had no significant effect on the prevalence of low-birthweight infants. Discussion and conclusionLiving in a rural area and lifetime non-use of contraception were found to be significant risk factors for low birth weight in frontier, outermost and underdeveloped regions in Indonesia. Increasing health facilities in rural areas and establishing programmes on the use of contraception may be positive strategies to reduce the prevalence of low-birthweight infants.

Thermal and daylighting evaluation: the basic of energy efficient house design at the earliest stages

The increase in electrical energy used in residential buildings is due to their designs being less responsive to the local climate. This research aims to analyse the implementation of energy efficient house design principles for the tropical, hilly area. The tropical, hilly area has distinctive climate characteristics compared to the lowland tropical area. Thus, it resulted in many challenges in providing internal comfort conditions for the occupants by architectural design only. Palu, Sulawesi Tengah Province of Indonesia, was selected as the case study location. The analyses were carried out by modelling three sample houses and simulating their daylighting and natural ventilation condition. Three house models were built considering several design parameters such as house orientation, geometry, plan, type and position of the openings. Simulations settings included different building materials, the number of occupants, operational schedules and electricity usage schedules. The operative temperature was used for thermal analysis. Meanwhile, spatial daylight Autonomy (sDA) of 100/50% was used for daylighting analysis. The result of the study provided the visualisations of thermal and daylighting conditions for each sample model. Design models of energy efficient houses suitable for the tropical hilly area were also recommended.

The aim of this research is to find out the shape and level of participation of the local community in the conservation program of Maleo in the village of Sumara Jaya. The results of this study show that there are three people from the local community in the village of Sumara Jaya who are actively engaged as robbers in the Pertamina Bersama Maleo program. They play a role in monitoring the nest and protecting the habitat.

Elevational surveys of Sulawesi herpetofauna 1: Gunung Galang, Gunung Dako Nature Reserve.

The Indonesian island of Sulawesi has a unique geology and geography, which have produced an astoundingly diverse and endemic flora and fauna and a fascinating biogeographic history. Much biodiversity research has focused on the regional endemism in the island's Central Core and on its four peninsulas, but the biodiversity of the island's many upland regions is still poorly understood for most taxa, including amphibians and reptiles. Here, we report the first of several planned full-mountain checklists from a series of herpetological surveys of Sulawesi's mountains conducted by our team. In more than 3 weeks of work on Gunung Galang, a 2,254 m peak west of the city of Tolitoli, Sulawesi Tengah Province, on Sulawesi's Northern Peninsula, we recovered nearly fifty species of reptiles and amphibians, more than a dozen of which are either new to science or known but undescribed. The incompleteness of our sampling suggests that many more species remain to be discovered on and around this mountain.

Konsentrasi Sorbitol dan Volume Larutan Terbaik pada Cetakan Film Edibel dari Pati Sagu

This study aims to determine the effect of sorbitol concentration and solution volume on the mold on the physical properties of the edible film from sago strach. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Agricultural Sciences STIP Mujahidin Tolitoli, Tuweley Village, Baolan District, Tolitoli Regency, Central Sulawesi Tengah from October to December 2020. This study used a factorial completely randomized design (FCRD). The first factor (a) is the concentration of sorbitol, namely a1 (5 mL/100 mL solution), a2 (6 mL/100 mL solution), and a3 (7 mL/100 mL solution) while the second factor (m) is the volume of the solution in the mold, namely m1 (5 mL), m2 (10 mL), and m3 (15 mL). The data were analyzed using variance followed by the 1% Duncant Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that the addition of sorbitol concentration had an effect on the color, thickness, and solubility in water, while the addition of solution volume in the mold affected the color, thickness and water vapor transmission. The best treatment due to the addition of sorbitol concentration to edible film is 5% sorbitol concentration treatment, namely the color has a high brightness level, 0.19 mm thickness, and 41.5% solubility. While the best treatment due to the addition of the volume of the solution on the edible film is the treatment of the 5 ml solution volume, namely the color has a high level of brightness, a thickness of 0.14 mm and a water vapor transmission of 1.11g/m2.hour.&#x0D; &#x0D; Keywords: edible film, sago starch, sorbitol

Analisis Permasalahan Pembangunan Infrastruktur Jalan: Studi Kasus Perencanaan dan Pelaksanaan di Provinsi Papua Barat

Roads are the fastest growing infrastructure compared to other infrastructure in various countries, including Indonesia. The road sector requires high investments to meet national development targets. For both local and central governments, infrastructure development should be a shared concern from planning to implementation. Specific transfer fund policies such as the Physical DAK (Special Allocation Funds) are an opportunity for regions to build road infrastructure better. This study aims to show the top-down and bottom-up planning portrait for the Physical DAK Road Sector and analyze field problems that have been strategic issues for regional development in the road infrastructure field. This study also shows the road infrastructure development problem through site visits to the sample locations, which the Papua Barat Province selected as one of the largest recipients of the DAK Physical budget in Indonesia. The research method uses a mixed-method approach through gap analysis based on literature studies of RKP (Government Work Plan) and RKPD (Local Government Work Plan) in 34 provinces in Indonesia, questionnaires, and site visits. Based on the planning gap analysis results (RKP-RKPD in all the provinces throughout Indonesia), only 3 (three) provinces did not include the Road Sector activity menu from the DAK allocation in their RKPD, namely Papua Barat, Sulawesi Tengah, and Sumatera Utara. The analysis results also show that 24 provincial RKPDs are 100 percent following the DAK content in the RKP, 5 (five) provinces only set 66 percent, and 2 (two) of the province set 33 percent. In the case study location in Papua Barat related to Physical DAK for Road Sector Assignments context, the Papua Barat RKPD document in 2019 does not yet fully have a specific plan following the DAK activity menu. In the implementation aspect, there were also many problems related to regulation and governance that required more attention, both top-down and bottom-up.

The Impact Of Religious Values On Social And Political Change In Tolitoli In The Early 20th Century

There is no doubt, interpretation of religious values by social and political elites in the modern social history has significantly influenced the development of political structure at national, regional and global level. At least, the phenomena has appeared since the period of Muhammad in the seventh century around Arabic peninsula, the rise of Islamic empires in the western Asia from the seventh to twelfth century, Spain under the Moslem and Christian powers, Turk during the Ottoman Empire from fifteenth to nineteenth century, Europe nations in the period of Crusaders from eleventh to fourteenth century, American independence war more than two hundred years ago. And in some cases, religious values were used effectively to mobilize local people against the western governments in Asia and Africa in the last century. Local political entities in South East Asia also experienced the same political development. Jihad concept fuelled and promoted social and political movements of Imam Diponegoro in Java, Sultan Hasanuddin in Makassar, Panglima Polem in Aceh, and Moro independence movement in Philippine. By using document analysis, depth interviews, and field observation, this study documents historical evidences that Haji Hayyun played a significant role politically and socially in Tolitoli, Sulawesi Tengah in the early twentieth century. Although tragically ended, as a figure he successfully used religious sentiment to get support from his followers against the Dutch government in Tolitoli.

Seagrass, dugong, and people: Lessons learned from community-based conservation in Tolitoli Regency, Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia

Dugong (Dugong dugon) is a protected mammal in Indonesia. Hunting for dugongs is still very high, so that the status of this animal is threatened, one of which is in Tolitoli Regency, Central Sulawesi. Hence, conservation efforts need to be carried out, both species and habitat area. Based on observation and interviews, dugong conservation in Tolitoli Regency was community-based habitat management. Kelompok Masyarakat Pengawas or Monitoring Community Group (Pokmaswas) was a form of community-based management in charge of maintaining, protecting, and preserving the existence of dugong and seagrass protection. From a community perspective, significant indicators in the management of dugong habitats were community awareness, seagrass percentage, and management quality. There was 11 kind of seagrass species have been identified in Tolitoli Regency. Seagrass conditions in all three villages were characterized by less than 60% of seagrass cover, especially seagrass that was close to the shoreline. The appearance of dugongs is based not only on good seagrass conditions but also on sea conditions and ship traffic.

EFL STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ON THE INTEGRATION OF WHATSAPP IN A LOW-TECH LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

This paper explores how WhatsApp as social media is embedded into the educational practices of university students. The paper draws on an analysis of 79 questionnaires and 10 online interviews. The questionnaire survey was administered online and collected from students majoring in English Education at Universitas Sintuwu Maroso, Poso, Sulawesi Tengah. The survey was followed up by online interviews, which were meant to provide deeper understanding of the students’ experiences on the integration of WhatsApp to aid their learning practices. The discussion in this paper focuses on how students make meaning of WhatsApp integration in their formal study. The results indicate that although WhatsApp has the potential as a space for learning, the students simply valued WhatsApp as a channel for exchanging information of the courses and other practical information. Based on these results, some models of social media integration in educational practices are suggested to be applied in the context of low-tech environment.

Model Regresi Hurdle Negative Binomial (HNB) untuk Pemodelan Konsumsi Rokok di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah

The average expenditure on cigarettes per capita in Sulawesi Tengah Province has increased in 2020. There are several factors that can affect a person's cigarette consumption including gender, age, education and health. To model cigarette consumption with several influencing factors can be use the poison regression model or the Zero Inflated Poisson (ZIP) model. However, the two regression models cannot solve the excess zero and overdispersion problems so use the Hurdle Negative Binomial (HNB) regression model. The results of the analysis of cigarette consumption data in Central Sulawesi Province using the HNB model provide the best modeling results compared to the poisson regression model and the ZIP model because it has the smallest Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) value. The results of testing the factors that significantly influence cigarette consumption in Central Sulawesi Province in the HNB regression model, namely the count model are gender, age and health. Whereas in the zerohurdle model, it is gender, age and education.
