This study aims to determine the effect of varying hybrid composite volume fractions of luffa (Luffa cylindrica) fiber and fiberglass on the tensile strength of the material. The composite matrix used was polyester resin, while the reinforcements consisted of luffa fibers treated with 5% KOH alkaline solution to improve adhesion with the matrix, and fiberglass as an additional strengthening material. The composition variations applied in this research were 90%:5%:5%, 85%:7.5%:7.5%, and 80%:10%:10% (polyester resin : luffa fiber : fiberglass). The fabrication process was carried out using the hand lay-up method, which is widely used for producing layered composites, followed by tensile testing according to standard mechanical testing procedures to evaluate tensile strength and elongation. The results showed that the addition of luffa fiber and fiberglass fractions had a significant influence on the mechanical properties of the composites. The 80%:10%:10% variation demonstrated the highest tensile strength value of 13.65 MPa and the highest elongation of 0.0105%, indicating better mechanical performance compared to other variations. These findings confirm that the hybridization of natural luffa fiber and synthetic fiberglass can work synergistically to improve the tensile strength of the composite. However, higher fiber fractions should be considered carefully, as they may affect the homogeneity of the mixture and the quality of interfacial bonding. Further research is recommended to optimize volume fractions, enhance fiber surface treatments, and evaluate additional mechanical properties such as impact strength and hardness, in order to explore the potential of hybrid composites as eco-friendly materials with promising mechanical performance.

Stock returns represent a crucial parameter that serves as a reference for investors in evaluating company performance. A decline in returns has occurred in several mining companies listed on the IDX, despite the sector’s vital role in the national economy. This study aims to examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Firm Size on the stock returns of mining companies listed on the IDX during the 2022–2024 period. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, resulting in 56 observational data after outliers were removed. To meet the assumptions of classical tests, several variables were transformed using natural logarithms, and data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that CSR, ROE, and Firm Size have no significant effect on stock returns, whereas ROA and DER show a significant positive effect. These findings suggest that investors tend to emphasize financial fundamentals, particularly profitability and capital structure, rather than non-financial aspects such as CSR activities. The implication for companies is the need to enhance operational efficiency and optimize financial structures to attract investors and improve returns. Future researchers are encouraged to incorporate external variables such as global commodity prices, market risk, and macroeconomic indicators, as well as expand the observation period and apply more diverse methodological approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of stock return dynamics in the mining sector.

The implementation of a system commonly known as Good Governance refers to the extent to which the government is able to meet the needs and expectations of society through its policies, programs, and actions. The application of Good Governance is not only related to the effectiveness of bureaucracy but also emphasizes principles of transparency, accountability, participation, and fairness in governance. This is crucial because it has a direct impact on improving the quality of public services, which is one of the key indicators of government success. However, achieving the goals of Good Governance is not an easy task, as in practice, there are various challenges and obstacles that must be addressed. One of the most common barriers is the weakness of internal control systems, which should serve as oversight of employee performance. In addition, there remains a shortage of employees with adequate competencies, as well as work environments that do not fully support the implementation of accountable behavior. These conditions can hinder the achievement of the expected standards of Good Governance. Therefore, deepening and internalizing accountable behavior among government employees is highly important. Accountable behavior is not only related to an individual’s responsibility for their tasks but also to the outcomes of their work, which directly affect the wider community. The findings of this study indicate that accountable behavior has been practiced by employees, yet its implementation must be carried out consistently and continuously. Strengthening accountable behavior is thus expected to enhance the assessment of Good Governance implementation, particularly in the Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) region, which is characterized by high levels of governmental complexity and public service demands.
