Harga emas dunia merupakan faktor eksternal yang berpotensi memengaruhi kinerja keuangan perusahaan pertambangan emas, namun hubungan keduanya tidak selalu bersifat linear mengingat kompleksitas struktur bisnis dan biaya perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara komparatif tren harga emas dunia dengan profitabilitas PT Aneka Tambang Tbk periode 2021–2025 menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan komparatif tren. Data bersumber dari laporan keuangan konsolidasian audited PT Aneka Tambang Tbk tahun 2021–2025 serta data harga emas rata-rata tahunan yang diterbitkan oleh World Gold Council, dengan indikator profitabilitas Return on Assets (ROA) dan Net Profit Margin (NPM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harga emas mengalami kenaikan akseleratif dari USD 1.793,38 menjadi USD 3.518,43 per troy ounce dengan pertumbuhan kumulatif 96,2%, sementara profitabilitas perusahaan bergerak fluktuatif dengan puncak tertinggi pada 2025. Analisis komparatif terhadap empat fase pergerakan menunjukkan hubungan yang tidak konsisten dan non-linear, di mana dua fase bergerak searah, satu fase berlawanan, dan satu fase bersifat parsial, yang disebabkan oleh fluktuasi volume penjualan, ekspansi aset yang belum produktif, dan lonjakan beban pokok pembelian logam mulia dari pihak ketiga. Penelitian ini mengimplikasikan bahwa analisis profitabilitas perusahaan pertambangan perlu mempertimbangkan struktur biaya, strategi pengadaan, dan keputusan investasi secara simultan, tidak cukup bertumpu pada pergerakan harga komoditas semata.

This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity and profitability ratios on stock returns through Price to Book Value (PBV) in coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020-2024. The research uses secondary data analysis from financial reports of the companies collected through documentation techniques, and the data is analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that profitability significantly influences stock returns and PBV, while liquidity has a negative but insignificant effect on PBV and stock returns. Moreover, PBV does not mediate the relationship between liquidity and stock returns or profitability and stock returns. This study recommends that companies focus on improving profitability to enhance stock returns, while investors should consider profitability performance when making investment decisions. Recommendations for future research include adding other independent variables such as leverage or macroeconomic factors and expanding the sector and period coverage for greater generalization.

This study aims to develop a strategy for developing praise and worship services through a deeper biblical theology of Psalm 150, as a fundamental solution for congregational growth at YHS Eka Sinta Church in Kapuas Regency. The main premise of this study is based on the crucial disconnect between contemporary church music practices, which tend to be performative, and the essence of the doxology authoritatively contained in the text Scripture. By integrating descriptive qualitative methods and an exegetical biblical theology approach, this study explores the imperative meaning and poetic structure of Psalm 150 and then engages them in intercultural dialogue with the sociocultural context of local churches in Kalimantan. The results reveal that the biblical theology Psalm 150 emphasizes the totality of instrumental use and the universality of the subject of praise as an absolute reflection of God's sovereignty and might. Field findings indicate that the effectiveness of music services is often hampered by technical limitations and theological shallowness of liturgical ministers. This study concludes that healthy congregational growth, both in terms of spiritual quality and quantity, is rooted in the extent to which the church able to actualize biblical theological values ​​in expressions of praise that are relevant and resonate with the cultural background and local identity of its congregation. The resulting strategy offers a holistic ministry model, in which church music returns to its essential function as an instrument of faith transformation and a means of growing the Kingdom of God, adaptively yet faithful to the biblical text.

This study aims to analyze the influence of fundamental and technical factors on stock price movements in the Indonesian capital market. The method used is a literature review with a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing secondary data obtained from various scientific literature sources as well as stock price data from the Investing platform. The results indicate that there are significant variations in stock prices among companies, reflecting differences in fundamental performance such as profitability, capital structure, and company prospects. In addition, from a technical perspective, stock price movements exhibit dynamic fluctuations, including both increases and decreases, influenced by market sentiment and investor responses to available information. The varying levels of stock volatility also indicate differences in investment risk. Trading volume plays an important role as a key indicator in technical analysis, where high volume reflects strong liquidity and investor interest, while low volume indicates limited market activity. Overall, the findings suggest that fundamental and technical factors have a complementary influence in determining stock price movements. Therefore, investors are advised to integrate both approaches in making investment decisions in order to achieve optimal returns while minimizing risk. This study is expected to contribute to the development of capital market research and serve as a reference for investors and academics.

The stock market is a place to buy shares for profit. In Indonesia, energy stocks are highly unpredictable because global commodity prices change constantly. This study examines what affected energy stock returns in 2024, focusing on trading volume, price swings, company profits, and cash flow. Using financial reports and statistical analysis, all these factors were tested together and individually. The results show that combined, all these factors do affect stock returns. However, when looked at one by one, only the company's net profit truly matters to investors. On the other hand, busy trading, daily price swings, and cash flow have no impact at all. In fact, all the factors studied only account for 14% of stock return movements, while the remaining 86% is driven by other outside forces. In conclusion, for those looking to invest in energy stocks, the most important thing to watch is the company's ability to generate net profit, rather than just looking at how busy daily transactions are in the market.

This study aims to assess the financial performance of 11 non-financial companies that conducted acquisitions in 2025 and are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Using a quantitative descriptive-comparative approach with a case study design, six financial ratios were analyzed: Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Total Asset Turnover (TATO), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). Data were obtained from consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 (pre-acquisition) and December 31, 2025 (post-acquisition). The results show that the impact of acquisitions varies across companies. No consistent or significant differences were found in the CR, DAR, DER, ROA, or ROE ratios between the two periods. Meanwhile, the TATO ratio tended to decrease after the acquisition, indicating that the newly consolidated assets have not yet operated optimally. These findings confirm that the short-term financial impact of an acquisition is heavily influenced by the transaction’s funding structure, the size of the acquired entity, and the industry sector. This study contributes to the financial accounting literature on corporate acquisition strategies in the Indonesian capital market.

Land-use changes dominated by impervious surfaces in residential areas reduce the natural infiltration capacity of the soil and increase surface runoff, which may lead to flooding and waterlogging. This study aimed to design a rainwater infiltration well system as an effort to reduce surface runoff in Samudera Afroza 3 Housing Estate, Jambi City. A quantitative approach was employed through field surveys, hydrological analysis, soil permeability testing, GIS-based land-use analysis, and infiltration well design in accordance with SNI 8456:2017 and SNI 03-2453-2002 standards. Rainfall analysis was conducted using maximum daily rainfall data from 2014–2023, applying several probability distributions, with the Gumbel distribution identified as the most representative model. The results revealed that the residential area covers 8,104 m², with 91.84% of the land occupied by built-up surfaces, resulting in limited natural infiltration capacity. The average soil permeability value of 0.00024 m/s indicates favorable conditions for the implementation of infiltration wells. Based on the design calculations, 41 Type III infiltration wells are required, providing a total storage capacity of 289.665 m³ and an infiltration discharge of 0.0919 m³/s. The proposed infiltration well system is capable of reducing runoff volumes by 15.044%, 12.486%, and 11.223% for 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year return periods, respectively. Therefore, infiltration wells can be considered an effective alternative for water conservation and runoff management in residential areas.

The increasing demand for electricity and high dependence on the utility power grid have driven the adoption of photovoltaic (PV) power generation as an environmentally friendly alternative energy source. This study aims to analyze the techno-economic feasibility of a load-sharing PV power generation system, focusing on technical analysis, operational costs, electricity bill savings, and environmental impacts. The research was conducted using quantitative methods to compare energy from photovoltaic generation and the grid, carbon emission calculations using an emission factor of 0,87 kgCO₂/kWh, and economic evaluation through parameters such as Net Present Value (NPV), Return on Investment (ROI), Cost of Energy (COE), and Payback Period (PP). The research results indicate that the photovoltaic panel generation system enables reducing utility grid energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions by 4,85 tons of CO₂ in 2024, increasing to 8,45 tons of CO₂ in 2025. The economic analysis indicates that the NPV value is not yet optimal; however, the ROI stands at 15%, the COE is Rp. 980.08/kWh, and the Payback Period is 6,56 years. The system is feasible for long-term investment. Overall, the implementation of the photovoltaic power plant demonstrates good potential in supporting carbon emission reduction, increasing the utilization of renewable energy, and reducing dependence on fossil-based energy.

This study examines how profitability affects company value among manufacturing firms included in the LQ45 index during the 2023–2025 period, with debt policy serving as a moderating variable. Increasing business competition encourages companies to improve their financial performance and market value to attract investors and maintain long-term sustainability. A quantitative research approach with a causal research design was employed to analyze the relationship between the variables. The study used secondary data obtained from audited annual financial statements published on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Data analysis was conducted using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results indicate that profitability has a significant positive effect on firm value, suggesting that higher profitability enhances investor confidence and contributes to higher market valuations. Furthermore, debt policy significantly moderates the relationship between profitability and firm value by strengthening the influence of profitability. The coefficient of determination increased from below thirteen percent to more than sixty-three percent after including the moderating variable. These findings demonstrate that effective debt management combined with strong profitability contributes to higher firm value and supports sustainable corporate growth and long-term investor confidence.

In the post-pandemic period, the learning process at the Madrasah Tsanawiyah level continues to face significant challenges, particularly the emergence of disparities in student learning outcomes in general subjects. Many students have not yet fully returned to an active and focused learning pattern, resulting in uneven learning outcomes. Under these circumstances, self-directed learning has become an increasingly prominent aspect, as it relates to students’ ability to manage their own learning process without relying too heavily on teacher guidance. This study aims to examine how learning autonomy influences MTs students’ learning outcomes by reviewing existing studies. The research employs a literature review method using a qualitative descriptive approach, drawing on scientific sources from the past five years. The data were analyzed through content analysis to identify patterns of relationships emerging from previous studies. The results of the study indicate that learning autonomy tends to have a positive correlation with improved learning outcomes, although the magnitude of the effect is not always consistent across every study. Students who are better able to manage their own learning steps generally appear more active, more focused in their studies, and more aware of the processes they are undergoing. Nevertheless, the development of learning autonomy does not occur in isolation, as it remains influenced by the school’s learning environment and the way teachers manage instruction. Thus, it is clear that fostering independent learning is a key factor in efforts to improve student learning outcomes in the post-pandemic era.

The drainage system is critical infrastructure for managing stormwater runoff in densely built urban areas, including higher education institutions. This study aims to evaluate the capacity performance of the existing drainage channels in the UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur campus area. The evaluation was conducted through two main stages: hydrological analysis using the rational method to estimate the design runoff discharge for a 10-year return period, and hydraulic analysis using Manning's equation to calculate the channel cross-sectional capacity in accordance with Permen PU No. 12 of 2014. Based on the assessment of 43 drainage channels, the results showed that 33 channels (76.7%) are still functioning optimally and capable of accommodating the design discharge. Conversely, 10 channels (23.3%) were identified as having insufficient capacity. This capacity deficit was triggered by initial designs that did not accommodate the 10-year return period flood discharge, increased runoff coefficients due to massive pavement development, and effective cross-section narrowing caused by sedimentation. To mitigate inundation issues, this study recommends redesigning the failing channels using an economical hydraulic cross-section, accompanied by periodic normalization and dredging for functional channels. The findings of this study are expected to serve as technical guidelines for the optimal and sustainable management of campus drainage infrastructure.

This study examines how tax knowledge, the use of e-filing systems, and the enforcement of tax penalties influence individual taxpayers’ compliance in filing annual tax returns. Tax compliance is a critical factor for the sustainability of government revenue, yet public compliance rates remain suboptimal. The research employs a quantitative approach with an associative causal design, involving 131 respondents in West Jakarta selected through convenience sampling. The instrument, consisting of a questionnaire with 34 items, was tested for validity and reliability and then analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS. The results of the analysis indicate that tax knowledge, the use of e-filing, and tax penalties have a positive effect—both partially and simultaneously—on compliance with annual tax return filing. These findings underscore the need to improve tax literacy, strengthen the e-filing system, and ensure consistent enforcement of penalties to encourage compliance. This study provides an empirical basis for the development of more inclusive and efficient tax policies and supports the government’s strategy to optimize state revenue by raising taxpayer awareness and fostering a sense of responsibility.

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of the Obor Mas Kupang Savings and Loan Cooperative using financial ratio analysis, including liquidity, solvency, profitability, and activity ratios during the 2022–2024 period. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, with financial ratio analysis consisting of the Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Asset Ratio  (DAR), Debt to Equity Ratio  (DER), Return on Asset s (ROA), Return on Equity  (ROE), and Total Asset Turnover. The data used are the cooperative’s financial statements, including the balance sheet and the Statement of Remaining Operating Results (SHU). The results show that from a liquidity perspective, the Current Ratio decreased from a very unhealthy category in 2022 and 2023 to a fairly healthy category in 2024, indicating an improvement in managing short-term liabilities. From a solvency perspective, the Debt to Asset Ratio  remained in the very unhealthy category throughout the study period, as total liabilities exceeded total assets, while the Debt to Equity Ratio  showed improvement from less healthy to fairly healthy. From a profitability perspective, both Return on Asset s and Return on Equity  indicate low and unstable performance, falling into unhealthy to very unhealthy categories. From an activity perspective, Total Asset Turnover shows fluctuating performance, experiencing a decline and then improvement, but remaining unstable.

Rapid population growth in Sidoarjo Regency has triggered massive land-use changes, resulting in increased surface runoff and reduced performance of the drainage system. This study aims to evaluate the hydraulic capacity of drainage channels in the Pondok Sidokare Indah Housing area against design flood discharges with return periods of 2, 5, and 10 years. The method used is a descriptive quantitative approach, involving hydrological analysis using maximum daily rainfall data from 2015–2025 and hydraulic modeling of the existing channel along 350 meters. The frequency analysis results indicate that the Log Pearson Type III distribution is the most suitable method based on statistical parameters and the Smirnov-Kolmogorov goodness-of-fit test. The calculation of design flood discharge using the rational method yields values of 0.749 m³/s (2-year), 1.003 m³/s (5-year), and 1.164 m³/s (10-year). Meanwhile, the maximum capacity of the existing channel ranges only between 0.534 m³/s and 0.733 m³/s. The comparison between hydrological load and channel capacity shows that all observation points (Sta 0+000 to Sta 0+350) are in overflow condition, even for the lowest return period flood discharge. This condition confirms that the current channel dimensions are no longer adequate and require normalization to mitigate annual flooding in the area.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability and liquidity on firm value in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2025 period. The study was motivated by inconsistencies in previous research results regarding the influence of profitability and liquidity on firm value. Profitability was measured using Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity was measured using Current Ratio (CR), while firm value was measured using Price to Book Value (PBV). This research employed a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from company financial statements. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 9 manufacturing companies during the research period. The data analysis methods included descriptive statistical analysis, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, coefficient of determination test (R²), partial test (t-test), and simultaneous test (F-test) using SPSS software. The results showed that company profitability tended to be stable although several companies experienced performance fluctuations, while liquidity levels showed considerable variation among companies. Based on the partial test results, profitability (ROA) did not have a significant effect on firm value with a significance value of 0.765 (>0.05), while liquidity (CR) had a significant negative effect on firm value with a significance value of 0.011 (<0.05). Simultaneously, profitability and liquidity had a significant effect on firm value with an F-test significance value of 0.020 (<0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.169 indicates that profitability and liquidity were able to explain 16.9% of the variation in firm value, while the remaining 83.1% was influenced by other factors outside the study. This research is expected to contribute to the development of financial management knowledge and serve as a consideration for investors and companies in decision-making.

Magelang City faces the challenge of limited land availability, with a total area of only 18.58 km2 and a high population density. Consequently, telecommunications infrastructure development requires a precise strategy. This study aims to analyze the business model and investment feasibility of Pole and Greenfield type telecommunication towers in Magelang City. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, this research processes secondary data from PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi Indonesia by applying feasibility analysis based on Life Cycle Costing (LCC), Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Break-Even Point (BEP), Payback Period (PP), and Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR). The results indicate significant differences in cost structures; Pole towers proved to be more efficient, requiring an initial capital outlay of only 28.8% of the total capital required for Greenfield towers. Greenfield towers generated an NPV of Rp13.07 billion with an IRR of 20%, while Pole towers generated an NPV of Rp2.46 billion with a higher IRR of 23%. Pole towers have proven to offer a faster return on investment and better operational cost efficiency, making them the most strategic option to support network densification and the implementation of 5G technology in urban areas with spatial constraints like Magelang City.

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial performance on the Dividend Payout Ratio in conventional banks in Indonesia during the 2021–2024 period. Financial performance is proxied by liquidity, Leverage, and profitability. This research employs a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The population consists of 43 conventional commercial banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange up to 2024. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling, resulting in 24 conventional banks with a total of 96 panel data observations. The data used are secondary data obtained from the companies’ annual financial statements and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that liquidity, proxied by Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), has a positive and significant effect on the Dividend Payout Ratio; Leverage, proxied by Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), has a negative and significant effect on the Dividend Payout Ratio; and profitability, proxied by Return on Assets (ROA), has a positive and significant effect on the Dividend Payout Ratio. Furthermore, liquidity, Leverage, and profitability simultaneously have a significant effect on the Dividend Payout Ratio in conventional banks in Indonesia. This study indicates that the company’s financial performance is a key factor in determining dividend policy in the banking sector.

This study aims to analyze the comparison of financial distress levels measured using the Current Ratio (CR) and the Altman Z-Score model and their relationship with stock returns in PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Tbk and PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk during the period 2020–2025. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a comparative design, and the sampling technique applied is purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression.The results indicate that there is no statistically significant difference between the two companies in terms of hal Likuidity (Current Ratio) dan Financial Distress (Altman Z-Score). Descriptively, CPIN has an average Current Ratio of 1.959 and a Z-Score of 3.700, while JPFA shows slightly lower values but remains within the safe zone. Furthermore, regression results reveal that liquidity and financial distress do not have a significant effect on stock returns. Both companies are classified in the safe zone, indicating a healthy financial condition and low risk of financial distress, while stock returns tend to be volatile and influenced by external factors.The study recommends that companies maintain a balance between liquidity, profitability, and capital structure to sustain financial stability. Investors are advised to consider not only financial ratios but also external factors in decision-making. Future researchers are encouraged to expand the sample size and include additional variables to obtain more comprehensive results.
