This study aims to explain how the implementation of a Financial Management Information System (MISK) can improve decision-making capabilities in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). In the digital era, MSMEs are required to manage their finances quickly, accurately, and in an integrated manner to compete in a dynamic market. The SIMK offers a solution to simplify the process of recording, analyzing, and reporting financial information in real time, enabling business decisions to be based on valid data. Analysis of various studies shows that the implementation of a MISK can improve operational efficiency, financial reporting transparency, and the quality of managerial decisions. However, its effectiveness is greatly influenced by financial literacy, digital readiness, and the ability of human resources to operate the system. Many MSMEs still have not fully utilized technology due to limited capital and accounting knowledge. With training and government policy support, the implementation of a MISK is expected to strengthen the competitiveness of MSMEs, increase productivity, and achieve professional financial governance.

Language processing disorders are disorders that arise when someone is under mental stress or experiencing deep emotional trauma. This study aims to analyze the various types of language processing disorders experienced by the character Tari in the film "Bolehkah Sekali Saja Aku Menangis" (May I Cry Once) and to determine the relationship between the character's emotional state and the linguistic symptoms that appear. This study uses a qualitative approach with a naturalistic approach and analytical descriptive methods, where data are collected through observation and recording of dialogues in the film that show signs of language disorders. Samples were taken purposively based on statements that indicate irregularities in sentence structure, long pauses, repetitions, or inappropriate word choices. This analysis compares the results of the study with existing psycholinguistic theories regarding how language processing works and the influence of trauma on speech production. The findings of this study indicate four main types of language processing disorders experienced by the character Tari: unfinished sentences, long pauses, repetitions of words or phrases, and inaccuracies in word choice. These types of disorders are more apparent when the character experiences high emotional stress and when interacting with family members related to her trauma.  The results of this study support the theory that emotional trauma can disrupt verbal working memory function and speech planning processes, ultimately impeding communication skills.

The process of signing on and off a seafarer's book for ship crew is a vital stage in the shipping world that requires thorough preparation and orderly implementation to ensure the safety and smooth operation of the ship. Signing on a seafarer's book involves recording and confirming the date and location of boarding the ship in the seafarer's book, which serves as official proof that the document holder has joined the ship's crew. Generally, this stage is accompanied by the preparation of a Seafarer's Employment Agreement (PKL) containing salary details and obtaining approval from the Harbor Master. Conversely, sign off is a procedure carried out when the work contract period in the PKL ends, or earlier for certain reasons such as late salary payments or discomfort in the work. The purpose of this study is to identify the obstacles that arise in the process of managing the sign-on/off of seafarer's crew books at PT. Baruna Mitra Segara Lines, Bandar Lampung. In compiling this paper, the author applies two approaches, namely the field observation method (field study) and the library study method. Both methods are used to gain a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism for managing the sign-on/off of seafarer's books, while also identifying the obstacles that arise so that the company can maximize the process. The research findings reveal that there are obstacles in the implementation of the sign-on/off of seafarer's books that are not fully in accordance with procedures. However, this process still has a positive and significant impact on the efficiency of the departure time of ship crews. This finding confirms that improving procedures and enforcing operational standards are key to improving the quality of document management services at PT. Baruna Mitra Segara Lines

Financial administration plays a crucial role in village-level governance, requiring transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the use of public funds.

The utilization of Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia has an important role in encouraging digitalization of transactions and improving financial recording and reporting. The background of this study is the need for MSMEs to adapt to the development of digital payment technology, especially in the midst of accelerated digitization triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although QRIS provides various benefits, such as ease of transactions and automatic recording, there are still a number of obstacles such as limited digital literacy, uneven infrastructure, and concerns related to cybersecurity, especially in remote areas. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to SMEs that have adopted QRIS in several regions in Indonesia. Data were collected through field observations, and documentation studies related to the use of QRIS in business activities. Data analysis was conducted thematically to explore in-depth understanding of the experiences, challenges, and benefits felt by MSME actors in the use of QRIS. The results showed that QRIS makes it easier for MSMEs to process payments and automatic digital transaction recording, thereby increasing the accuracy and transparency of financial statements. However, limited access to electricity, digital devices, and digital security literacy are significant barriers to optimal implementation of QRIS. The security aspect of digital transactions is an important concern for MSMEs, who need further education and technical support. Thus, strengthening digital literacy, improving infrastructure, and strict cybersecurity regulations are urgently needed to encourage wider and inclusive adoption of QRIS among MSMEs in Indonesia.
