Food and beverage companies must maintain a robust capital structure to compete effectively amidst the intense pressures of globalization and achieve their strategic objectives. This study aims to examine the impact of profitability, asset structure, company size, and solvency on the capital structure of food and beverage firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and included in the LQ45 index. This study uses an explanatory method with purposive sampling technique, where samples are determined based on companies that have completed financial reports during the research period and are indexed in LQ45. Data analysis was performed using t-tests and F-tests. The results show that profitability (ROA), asset structure, and company size (Ln Total Assets) do not have a significant partial effect on capital structure (DER), meaning that these three factors do not directly influence companies' decisions on the use of debt for financing. However, solvency (DAR) was found to have a significant effect on capital structure, indicating that a company's ability to meet its long-term obligations plays an important role in determining the level of debt used for operational financing. Simultaneously, the four independent variables had a significant effect on capital structure, meaning that all variables together contributed to influencing food and beverage companies' decisions in determining their financing strategies.

This community service was carried out at the Abar traditional pottery craftsman studio "Titian Hidup" with the aim of strengthening business competitiveness through the development of branding strategies based on local wisdom. Pottery crafts in Papua, especially in Kampung Abar, not only represent technical skills, but also contain philosophical values that reflect the history and cultural life of the indigenous peoples. However, until now pottery products do not have a brand identity that is able to express the richness of meaning and character that they have. The method of service includes deepening the philosophical character of the product, the application of technology, and socialization to craftsmen. This approach is designed to build awareness and knowledge about the importance of branding as an instrument to strengthen business identity. The results of the service show that artisans are beginning to understand the concept of professional branding, including product differentiation, cultural narratives, and the use of digital technology to expand market access. In addition, this activity encourages the adaptation of artisans to modern market developments without losing the cultural roots that characterize the product. Thus, this service contributes to the preservation of local culture while increasing the sustainability of the traditional Papuan pottery craft business through a structured and contextual branding strategy.

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence economic growth. Economic growth is an important indicator used to measure the success of a country's development because it reflects the increasing capacity of an economy to produce goods and services. This research uses a descriptive approach by examining several factors affecting economic growth, including investment, labor, unemployment, and international trade. The results show that investment plays a significant role in increasing production capacity and encouraging the development of industry and infrastructure. Labor also contributes to economic productivity through the production of goods and services. On the other hand, a high unemployment rate can hinder economic growth because part of the labor force is not absorbed into productive activities. In addition, international trade through export and import activities can support economic growth by expanding markets for domestic products and fulfilling the need for raw materials and technology in the production process. Therefore, economic development policies need to consider these factors to achieve sustainable economic growth and improve public welfare

The development of information technology has transformed civil dispute resolution mechanisms in Indonesia, most notably through the issuance of Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) Number 3 of 2022 on Electronic Mediation in Courts. Despite the normative framework it provides, the implementation of electronic mediation continues to face persistent challenges, particularly regarding limited digital infrastructure, low digital literacy among disputing parties, and insufficient technical capacity of mediators. More critically, when electronic mediation fails to produce a settlement agreement, the subsequent enforcement of civil court decisions encounters serious normative gaps not yet adequately addressed by existing legal instruments. This study aims to identify and analyze the causes of civil judgment enforcement failures arising in the context of failed electronic mediation under PERMA Number 3 of 2022, and to propose normative solutions for the identified regulatory gaps. Using a normative juridical method supported by statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, this study finds that the primary causes of enforcement failure include the absence of clear legal standards governing electronically signed peace deeds, weak synchronization between PERMA Number 3 of 2022 and civil procedural law on execution, and procedural obstacles in enforcing decisions that originate from electronic proceedings. This study recommends targeted regulatory reform to ensure that peace agreements resulting from electronic mediation carry unambiguous executorial force and that enforcement mechanisms are adapted to accommodate the distinctive characteristics of electronic dispute resolution.

This study explores the dynamics of children’s character formation within Christian families in the digital era from the perspective of church parents. Employing a descriptive light mixed-methods design, the study integrates survey data and semi-structured interviews to obtain both quantitative and qualitative insights. The findings indicate that digital media has become an integral and unavoidable part of family life, making children’s character formation highly dependent on parental guidance, reflective communication, and consistent faith-based education at home. Parents face various challenges related to time constraints, limited digital literacy, and the increasing exposure of children to external values that may not align with Christian teachings. At the same time, many parents actively utilize technology as a supportive and accessible tool for spiritual learning and moral development. The study concludes that character formation is shaped not merely by technology itself but more significantly by the quality of family relationships and parental role modeling grounded in Christian values. Therefore, the findings recommend strengthening faith-based digital literacy among parents and enhancing church–family collaboration to foster more holistic, balanced, and sustainable character development in children.

As a result, participation in Musrenbang remains dominated by conventional mechanisms, while digital platforms serve primarily as a means of one-way reporting. This study emphasizes that the success of digital transformation depends on the readiness of infrastructure and community capacity, so a hybrid approach that integrates technology with local wisdom is needed to strengthen participation in regional development.

The postpartum period is an important time for the mother's physiological recovery after childbirth, during which various bodily changes are still ongoing and health risks, including changes in blood pressure, may occur. One factor that is thought to affect blood pressure during the postpartum period is dietary patterns, particularly high sodium intake. Salted fish is a food commonly consumed by the community and is known to have a high salt content. This study aims to analyze the effect of salted fish consumption on blood pressure in postpartum mothers from day 1 to day 28. This study used a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design through a cross-sectional method. The study sample consisted of 20 postpartum mothers on days 1–28 who were selected using purposive sampling. The independent variable was salted fish consumption, while the dependent variable was the systolic blood pressure of postpartum mothers. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire and blood pressure measurements with a standard tensiometer. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods. The Shapiro–Wilk normality test showed that the data were not normally distributed, so the analysis was continued with the Wilcoxon test. The results of the study show a significant difference between systolic blood pressure before and after exposure to salted fish consumption, indicating that consumption of foods high in salt affects changes in blood pressure in postpartum women. This study concludes that salted fish consumption has the potential to affect the blood pressure of postpartum women. Therefore, nutrition education related to limiting the intake of foods high in salt during the postpartum period needs to be improved as part of efforts to prevent postpartum hypertension.

The role of ports as crucial nodes in the global supply chain positions the maritime sector as one of the most dynamic industries worldwide.

Fourth, multi-level governance alignment across national and regional authorities to prevent incentive distortions.

The prevalence of non-communicable degenerative diseases in Indonesia continues to rise, particularly affecting adolescents and productive age populations due to unhealthy lifestyle patterns and free radical exposure. Purple sweet potato leaves (Ipomoea batatas L.), a locally abundant resource often regarded merely as agricultural by-product, contain significant bioactive compounds including polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and terpenoids demonstrating potent antioxidant properties with IC50 values of 47.99 ppm. This study employs a qualitative descriptive literature review approach, analyzing 28 scientific publications spanning 2018-2025 sourced from Google Scholar and PubMed databases to examine the potential of purple sweet potato leaves as effervescent tablet raw material for degenerative disease prevention. Findings reveal that bioactive constituents effectively neutralize free radicals, prevent lipid peroxidation, and protect cellular structures from oxidative damage linked to diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders. The effervescent tablet formulation provides strategic advantages including enhanced solubility, accelerated absorption rates due to elimination of disintegration processes, pleasant carbonation sensation masking unpleasant active ingredient taste, and superior gastrointestinal tolerance. This innovation offers promising prospects for degenerative disease prevention through local food resource utilization, though experimental validation regarding optimal formulation, effective dosage determination, and clinical efficacy assessment remains necessary for practical implementation.

This study seeks to investigate the direct impact of digital transformational leadership on employee engagement and to analyze the mediating function of work-life balance within higher education institutions in Medan. A quantitative methodology was utilized, employing a survey technique with a structured questionnaire disseminated to professors at higher education institutions in North Sumatra Province. The study's population and sample consisted of 120 permanent academics in North Sumatra Province. We utilized a questionnaire to collect data and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze it. The findings indicated that digital transformative leadership exerted a favorable and significant impact on lecturer engagement. Nonetheless, work-life balance was not demonstrated to be a significant mediator or moderator in this relationship. This study demonstrates that within the framework of digital transformation, professor engagement is more significantly affected by leadership practices than by perceptions of work-life balance. Digital leadership that works can give teachers more power and make them more interested, but problems that come with the digital invasion need to be handled carefully. This study suggests that companies, particularly higher education institutions, should prioritize the enhancement of digital leadership capacity to sustain and elevate employee engagement in the digital age.
