2025-07-01T16:31:21+07:00

The study aims to identify the causes of the suboptimal implementation of Knowledge Management in ASN development and formulate strategies to optimize its implementation. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method with an inductive approach, using the SECI theory by Nonaka and Takeuchi and the SWOT analysis theory by Albert Humphrey. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that at the socialization stage, the lack of two-way communication, minimal incentives for sharing knowledge, and low interest in training are the main obstacles. At the externalization stage, weaknesses in document management and organizational discussions hinder the transformation of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. The combination stage is disrupted due to the ineffectiveness of the database system, which has an impact on decision making and career development. Meanwhile, at the internalization stage, limited Information Technology infrastructure, weak internet networks, and lack of mass media utilization slow down organizational learning. These findings emphasize the need to strengthen the system, knowledge sharing culture, and adequate technology and communication support to encourage effective knowledge management at the DKPP RI. Strategies that can be carried out by overcoming weaknesses include limited human resources, low budget, and lack of supporting facilities and infrastructure. Strategic opportunities lie in increasing human resource capacity, strengthening infrastructure, increasing budgets, and preparing internal regulations related to knowledge management. Meanwhile, the main challenges include disparities in employee education levels and the lack of ongoing evaluation and policies. By utilizing existing strengths and opportunities and anticipating weaknesses and threats, DKPP RI can build a more structured, sustainable knowledge management system that supports improving institutional performance.

The Impact of E-Procurement Implementation, Procurement Officer Competency, And Internal Supervision on Execution of Goods and Services Procurement: a Case Study of the Provincial Government of North Sumatra

2025-07-01T16:38:10+07:00

This study aims to analyze the effect of E-Procurement Implementation, Procurement Officer Competence, and Internal Supervision on the Implementation of Procurement of Goods and Services in the North Sumatra Provincial Government. Using a quantitative approach with regression analysis, the study found that E-Procurement has a positive and statistically significant effect on increasing the effectiveness of procurement implementation, in line with the principles of good governance. Procurement Officer Competence shows a positive direction of influence on procurement implementation, although it is not statistically significant in this model. Interestingly, Internal Supervision shows a significant negative correlation with the effectiveness of procurement implementation, indicating that excessive supervision intensity has the potential to hinder the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement process. This finding contradicts conventional expectations and suggests the need for a critical evaluation of the implementation of the supervision mechanism. The implications of this study highlight the importance of optimizing the E-Procurement system and reviewing the effectiveness of the internal supervision mechanism in the context of implementing procurement of goods and services in the North Sumatra Provincial Government.

The Effectiveness of E-KTP Services at the Public Service Mall in Serang City

2025-07-07T20:52:22+07:00

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of E-KTP services at the Public Service Mall (MPP) in Serang City by referring to the effectiveness indicators according to Ridwan and Sudrajat (2009), including service procedures, completion time, costs, facilities and infrastructure, employee competence, and service products. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of E-KTP services at the MPP in Serang City has not been running optimally. There are several obstacles, such as the absence of a special SOP for MPP services, long waiting times even though documents are complete, the unavailability of biometric recording facilities, and the attitude of employees who are not polite. However, there are aspects that already reflect the principle of effectiveness, including: free service, the availability of adequate supporting facilities, and E-KTP service products that have met community expectations. In addition, supporting factors such as the existence of a legal basis for coordination between agencies, active community participation, and relatively good public facilities also strengthen the service. The main inhibiting factors include lack of socialization, limited electronic recording and queuing facilities, and lack of coaching for employee attitudes. The Serang City Government has made several improvement efforts such as procuring biometric recording devices, HR training, and developing an electronic queuing system to improve the quality of population administration services as a whole.

Implementation of the Flag Raising Troops Program Policy at the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency

2025-07-02T16:08:39+07:00

This study discusses the implementation of the Paskibraka Program policy by BPIP as a strategic effort in forming a young generation with Pancasila character. The main problem in this study is how this policy is implemented by BPIP and what factors support and hinder the implementation of the policy throughout Indonesia. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, documentation studies, and observations. Informants were selected using purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques, involving BPIP officials, the Provincial Kesbangpol, and DPPI. The instruments used were interview guidelines, recording devices, and policy documents as analysis materials. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the policy generally runs according to the direction of the regulation, with several challenges such as limited resources in the regions, less than optimal cross-agency communication, and differences in understanding the redefinition of the Paskibraka program. Supporting factors include regulatory support, BPIP's commitment as the main sponsor, and the existence of supporting organizations such as DPPI. This study concludes that the success of policy implementation is highly dependent on synergy between stakeholders, clarity of institutional roles, and optimization of existing resources. The recommendations submitted include the preparation of a national master plan, strengthening the coordinating role of BPIP, and expanding partnership networks in the regions as a strategic step in fostering the Pancasila ideology in a sustainable manner.

From ‘Damsel in Distress’ to ‘Strong Female Lead’: the Evolution Of Female Representation in Korean Dramas

2025-07-07T20:50:15+07:00

This study examines the revolution in the representation of women in Korean dramas from 2010 to 2024, focusing on how female characters are portrayed across three different periods: 2010–2015, 2016–2020, and 2021–2024. Employing a qualitative approach with content analysis, six popular Korean dramas were selected for in-depth examination. The findings reveal a transformation in female representation—from passive figures conforming to patriarchal norms to active, complex characters with full narrative agency. In the early period, characters like Geum Jan-di and Cha Eun-sang were depicted as weak romantic objects reliant on male protagonists. During the transitional period, characters such as Kang Mo Yeon and Do Bong Soon began to exhibit empowerment, although still framed within aesthetics and narratives that compromise with patriarchy. In contrast, the contemporary period presents characters like Moon Dong-eun and Hwang Do Hee as agents of change who control the narrative, challenge gender stereotypes, and enact new forms of gender performativity. These findings suggest that popular media, including Korean dramas, can function as ideological spaces that both construct and deconstruct gender identities. This research contributes to media studies, popular culture, and gender studies in the postfeminist era.

An Analysis and Design of an Iot Based Automated Wood Drying System With Real Time Humidity Monitoring

2025-07-07T16:22:31+07:00

Wood drying is an important process in the wood processing industry to improve its quality and durability. However, conventional methods are often inefficient due to the lack of real-time control of moisture levels. This study aims to analyze and design an au-tomatic wood drying system with Internet of Things (IoT)-based moisture monitoring. This system uses a moisture sensor to measure the water content in wood periodically, which is then sent to an IoT platform for remote monitoring. The data obtained is used to automatically control the heating element to maintain optimal conditions in the drying room. With the implementation of this technology, the drying process becomes more ef-ficient, energy efficient, and produces wood with more consistent quality. The test results show that this system is able to adjust the temperature and drying duration adaptively based on the actual condition of the wood, thereby increasing efficiency compared to conventional methods. It is hoped that this research can be an innovative solution for the wood industry in increasing productivity and quality of the final product.
