A quality model has been developed from parameters determining the interactions of physical, chemical, and biological factors during the preparation of mushroom compost for growing Agaricus bisporus. Our results show that a partial least square model based on the combination of pH, dry matter, ammonia, carbon, hydrogen, ash, Cu, Fe, and Na could explain nearly 90% of the variation in mushroom yield obtained from four compost comparative trials. The yields in the data base for generating the model ranged from 138 to 305 kg per tonne of compost. The validity of the yield model has been confirmed in a trial carried out in collaboration with experienced commercial growers. This has significant implications for compost producers, as production efficiencies can be maintained by targeting the important parameters.Key words: Agaricus bisporus, compost quality, partial least squares model, modelling, physiology.

Purpose: Customer satisfaction and reuse intention are fundamental to business success, no exception in digital business. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to determine the dimensions of mobile service quality and its effects on customer satisfaction and reuse intention. Gojek is selected as it is the first super app in the world at once the first “decacorn” company in Indonesia. Methodology: This is a quantitative analysis approach explanatory test. The data were gathered using a purposeful sampling approach using an online questionnaire. The aim of this analysis is to evaluate data from 384 respondents using Warp Partial Least Square 6.0. Main Findings: The result indicates that customer satisfaction directly influences content, program, and digital payment quality. The reuse aim often has a beneficial impact on knowledge efficiency, program functionality, and consumer service. Digital payment accuracy, nevertheless, has a marginal effect on reuse purposes. The finding also reveals that the consistency of the program is the main driver for consumer loyalty and reuse. Implications/Applications: The analysis is critical because in the super application it illustrates quality factors. While the research refers to the Gojek super program, this analysis relates to customers' feedback and the plan to use it on mobile apps. Novelty/originality of this study: This work is an early attempt to detect mobile quality factors that impact reuse in the super application. There is still limited research on the effects of quality mobile services in the super app. The research analyzed the standard of mobile services consisting of knowledge standard, device quality, and super-application digital payment efficiency. The research offered insight into the most significant variables that influence consumer loyalty and the ability to reuse.

The health industry from year to year experiences continuous development, this causes competition to maintain and increase the quantity of patients becomes increasingly difficult. Pondok Indah Bintaro Jaya Hospital as one of the industries engaged in health care services feels the impact of this health care industry competition. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the quality of service (SERVQUAL) and its influence on patient recommendations at Pondok Indah Bintaro Jaya Hospital. Respondents of this study were the patients of Pondok Indah Bintaro Jaya Hospital with the number of research respondents set at 99 respondents. This research was included in the survey method, where the data collection instrument was carried out using a five-dimensional quality service questionnaire which was measured based on the patient's perceptions and expectations using a 4-point Likert scale about the overall quality of service that was felt by patients at Pondok Indah Bintaro Jaya Hospital. This study uses Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis with the help of the PLS 3.2.7 software program as an analytical tool and the sampling method uses a stratified purposive sampling. The results of this study can be seen that patients who recommend the Hospital feel satisfied with the services provided, especially in terms of Assurance and Tangibles. But overall that (Y1) Quality of Service has a positive or significant direct effect on (Y2) Recommendation of patients with a value of 0.571. This indicates that patients who seek treatment and use Pondok Indah Bintaro Jaya Hospital Services feel Satisfied with all the services that have been given and will recommend services that have been felt to others. Keywords: SERVQUAL, Service Quality and Patient Recommendations.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to advance healthcare service quality research using hierarchical component models. Design/methodology/approach – This study used a quantitative approach with cross-sectional design as a survey method, combining cluster and convenience sampling and partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to validate the research model and test the hypotheses. Findings – The study extends health service quality literature by showing that: patient satisfaction (PS) is dominant, significant and indirect determinant of behavioural compliance (BC); perceived service quality has the strongest effect on BC via PS. Research limitations/implications – Only one hospital was evaluated. Practical implications – The study provides managers with a service quality model for conducting integrated service delivery systems analysis and design. Originality/value – Overall, the study makes a significant contribution to healthcare organizations, better health outcomes for patients and better quality of life for the community.

This study will look at the performance of banking companies, looking at the relationship between asset quality factors, capital quality to profitability and liquidity as intervening in the banking sub-sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2015-2019. This study used the first free variable which is an asset quality variable with indicators namely NPL Gross, NPL Net, and RAPBTTAP. The second free variable is a capital quality variable with indicators namely TIER 1, TIER 2, KPMM and FAtE. Variables are tied to profitability with indicators namely BOPO, ROA, ROE and NIM. Intervening variable is liquidity with indicators namely LDR, LtER and LtTAR. The research sample used is a group of sub-banking sector stocks during the 5-year observation period, starting from 2015 - 2019, which has a complete research indicator report of financial statements, does not conduct a stock split and has indicators of negative profitability ratios of 11 issuers. This form of research is explanatory research and data analysis in this study using Partial Least Square using Smart PLS 3.0 software. The results showed, capital quality variables have a significant effect on liquidity variables, capital quality variables have a significant effect on liquidity variables, Asset quality variables have a significant effect on profitability variables, capital quality has no significant effect on profitability variables, liquidity variables have a significant effect on profitability variables, Asset quality variables and capital quality have no significant effect on variable profitability with liquidity variables as intervening variables.

Research Objectives to prove the influence of the complexity of the tasks faced by the Auditor on performance in carrying out duties as an Auditor. The complexity of tasks related to various problems in the company requires locus of control from internal and external to maintain independence and competence.The first auditor performance case occurred in 2002 with the disclosure of the Enron case involving the KAP in the big five, Athur Anderson. In 2008 the Telkom case affected the closure of KAP Edy Priyanto, and there were still many other cases which were violations of the accountant's code of ethics.This research is in the form of quantitative, with proof of the complexity of the task and locus of control on the performance of the auditor. Sample 46 Junior auditors from several KAPs in Surabaya, using the Partial Least Square test, the result that the complexity of the task affects the performance of the Auditor and the interaction of the complexity of the task with locus of control does not affect the performance of the Auditor.
