This study investigates the impact of education on the economic empowerment of women in Lampung Province during the 2019 to 2023 period. Despite advancements in educational access, significant gender disparities persist in Indonesia, particularly in Lampung, affecting women's participation in the workforce and political decision-making and contributing to wage gaps. This research aims to analyze how different levels of education influence women's political participation, their involvement in the labor force, and the proportion of their wages relative to men. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach with panel data regression analysis, the study utilizes secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the National Labor Force Survey (SAKERNAS) across 15 regencies/cities in Lampung. Key findings reveal that while higher education (university level) significantly boosts women's labor force participation and wage proportion, secondary education (SMA) plays a more dominant role in fostering political engagement. Furthermore, the study confirms a persistent gender wage gap, with men's participation having a larger impact on wage proportion. These results underscore the critical role of education in women's empowerment and advocate for targeted policies to enhance educational access, promote equitable wages, and address systemic discrimination to achieve sustainable gender equality in Lampung

This study aims to evaluate the influence of Ownership Concentration and Media Exposure on Firm Value, with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) acting as a mediating variable. The research focuses on plantation sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. A purposive sampling technique was applied to select 12 companies, resulting in 48 observational data points. Data were analyzed using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews 12 software. The findings reveal that Ownership Concentration and Media Exposure significantly affect CSR. Furthermore, CSR has a positive influence on Firm Value. However, Ownership Concentration does not have a direct or indirect effect on Firm Value. Meanwhile, Media Exposure does not directly affect Firm Value, but it indirectly contributes through the mediation of CSR. These findings reinforce the role of CSR as a strategic signal in shaping market perceptions of corporate sustainability and reputation.

The sample was selected through purposive sampling and resulted in 11 companies over 4 years, totaling 44 observations. Panel data regression analysis was performed using STATA-14. The results show that partially, firm size and liquidity do not significantly affect firm value, while profitability has a significant positive effect. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly affect firm value. This finding implies that profitability is a main concern for investors when assessing firm value.

Pasta dough, or fresh pasta, is a flour-based food product that is popular globally but has limitations in shelf life. This study aims to develop an innovative pasta dough by adding kluwek (Pangium edule), a local Indonesian ingredient, to enhance flavor, texture, aroma, and color. Kluwek was chosen due to its bioactive compounds, such as tannins, healthy fats, and minerals, as well as its potential as a natural flavor enhancer (umami) and preservative. This experimental study used variations of kluwek addition (8%, 10%, 12%) to the basic pasta dough (wheat flour, egg, salt). Data were collected through organoleptic tests by 30 panelists (trained and semi-trained) to evaluate color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall preference, as well as laboratory tests for proximate analysis (moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash, carbohydrates, and tannins). The organoleptic test results showed that the 12% kluwek concentration produced pasta with a moderately brown color (score: 3.10), a moderate aroma (3.07), a sufficiently savory taste (3.03), and a chewy texture (3.43), which was significantly preferred over the 8% and 10% concentrations (p<0.05). Proximate analysis revealed superior nutritional content, including protein (13.80%), healthy fats (5.10%), fiber (2.05%), and tannins (0.41%). The moisture (24.05%) and ash (0.31%) levels met the SNI 3551:2015 standard for fresh pasta. In conclusion, the addition of 12% kluwek produces pasta with acceptable sensory properties and higher nutritional value. This innovation not only enriches the diversification of locally sourced pasta products but also opens opportunities for the commercialization of functional foods. Recommendations for further research include shelf-life stability testing, cyanide residue toxicity assessment, and formulation optimization with other additives.

This study presents an evaluation of the cooling load capacity in the departure apron corridor area at Supadio International Airport using the Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) method. The objective of the research is to assess whether the current air conditioning (AC) is adequate to meet thermal comfort requirements in a tropical climate characterized by high humidity and strong solar radiation. A detailed field survey was conducted at Gate 3, a glass-dominated corridor that experiences significant heat gain from solar exposure. Empirical data including temperature profiles, material properties, occupancy levels, and equipment specifications were collected over a two-week period using digital instruments. Using the CLTD method, the heat contributions from walls, roof, glass surfaces, occupants, lighting, and air infiltration were quantified. The results revealed that the installed AC (2 PK) only delivers about  of the required cooling load, with the total load estimated at 66,448 BTU/hr. The dominant sources of thermal gain include the roof and east-facing glass panels. The study recommends AC resizing, glass shading implementation, and improved insulation to enhance energy efficiency. This research contributes practical insights for HVAC optimization in airport infrastructure within hot-humid climates.

This research examines the impact of the open unemployment rate, average years of schooling, and population growth on poverty levels in districts and municipalities across East Java Province during the 2019-2023 period. By employing panel data regression and a quantitative approach, the study identifies key determinants of poverty and visualizes their geospatial distribution. The findings indicate that the open unemployment rate significantly increases poverty, whereas the average years of schooling significantly reduces it. On the other hand, population growth exhibits a positive but statistically insignificant effect. A simultaneous test confirms that the independent variables collectively influence poverty, contributing 99.03% to its variation. The study underscores the importance of improving access to education, creating employment opportunities, and managing population growth as essential strategies for poverty alleviation. These findings are intended to serve as a foundation for strategic and sustainable poverty reduction policies in East Java.

Capital structure is a strategic decision made by companies in determining the combination of debt and equity financing. Financial market dynamics can influence companies' strategies for obtaining financing for expansion, operations, or financial restructuring. Companies have the flexibility to determine when and how to obtain financing by considering market conditions, a practice known as market timing. This study aims to examine the impact of market timing on capital structure and to determine the persistent long-term effects of market timing. The research focuses on non-financial companies that conducted an initial public offering (IPO) in 2020-2021, with a population of 105 companies. A purposive sampling technique was employed, using specific criteria, resulting in a sample of 65 companies. The data used are secondary data analyzed using multiple linear regression with panel data. The results indicate that market timing, measured by the market-to-book ratio, has a significant negative impact on capital structure. The study also shows that market timing, does not have a persistent impact on capital structure in the long term. Companies tend to take advantage of momentum when stock valuations are high by conducting initial public offerings, while in the long term, companies tend to make adjustments, so the impact of market timing does not last long.

These findings reinforce the importance of the audit committee's role in overseeing and ensuring effective governance to support the improvement of the company's financial performance.

As a developing country with one of the highest populations in the world, Indonesia possesses an abundant workforce in terms of its working-age population. Among the 38 provinces, Bali has consistently shown the highest labor force participation rate. However, a more detailed view from 2010 to 2024 reveals that the proportion of the working-age population classified as part of the labor force has experienced fluctuations. This study aims to analyze both the simultaneous and partial effects of the unemployment rate, education, and regional minimum wage on the labor force participation rate (LFPR) in Bali Province from 2010 to 2024. The study was conducted in Bali Province, using secondary data published by Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The analysis technique employed in this study is panel data regression. The results of the panel regression test indicate that the most appropriate model is the Fixed Effects Model. The findings show that the variables of unemployment rate, education, and regional minimum wage simultaneously have a significant effect on the labor force participation rate in Bali Province. Partially, the unemployment rate has a negative but insignificant effect, education has a positive and significant effect, and the regional minimum wage has a negative and significant effect on the labor force participation rate in Bali Province. It is recommended that the government and private sector collaborate in formulating appropriate policies to increase labor force participation by improving the quality of education and designing minimum wage policies that align with both labor needs and market capacity to pay wages.

This study is motivated by the crucial role of government spending and domestic investment (PMDN) in driving economic growth, particularly in Bali Province, which is heavily reliant on the tourism sector and vulnerable to external shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of government expenditure in the general services and infrastructure sectors, as well as domestic investment, on Bali’s economic growth during the 2014–2023 period, both simultaneously and partially. This study employs panel data combining cross-sectional and time-series data from 9 regencies/cities in Bali Province over a 10-year period (2014–2023), using a Random Effect Model (REM) approach after conducting the Chow test, Hausman test, and Lagrange Multiplier test. The results show that, simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence economic growth. Partially, government spending in general services, infrastructure, health, and education sectors has a positive and significant effect. Meanwhile, expenditure in economic services, domestic investment (PMDN), and the COVID-19 variable have a positive but statistically insignificant effect on economic growth in Bali Province. It is recommended that local governments improve the effectiveness of economic sector spending, promote equitable distribution of domestic investment, and accelerate economic diversification to reduce dependency on tourism and strengthen regional economic resilience.

This study aims to analyze the influence of leverage (DER), free cash flow (FCF), and operational efficiency using inventory turnover (ITO), and receivables turnover (RTO) on company value, with company size as a control variable, in food and beverage sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018–2023 period. The method used is panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model approach. The results of the study show that leverage has a significant negative effect, and inventory turnover has a significant positive effect on the company's value. Meanwhile, FCF and RTO had no significant effect, while company size had a negative effect. Robustness checks with PBV as proxy for alternative values showed relatively consistent results. These findings support the signal theory, that operational efficiency and a well-managed financial structure can strengthen investors' perception of a company's value.
