The research uses secondary data drawn from financial reports. From a population of 99 listed companies for the 2022-2024 period, purposive sampling yielded 19 companies as the study sample. A quantive approach was applied, using multiple linear regression for analysis. Data processing and analysis were conducted with Microsoft Excel 2022 and IBM SPSS version 27. The findings indicate the capital structure has a positive and statistically significant effect on firm value. While liquidity, activity, and dividend policy show no significant effect.  

This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing student collaborative learning, with a particular emphasis on AI-driven feedback mechanisms and patterns of student interaction in developing effective collaborative skills. Unlike prior studies, this research highlights the mediating effect of AI-driven feedback on teamwork efficiency and overall learning outcomes in collaborative environments. An explanatory quantitative approach was applied using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to ensure robust data analysis. Data were collected from 112 university students who were actively engaged in AI-assisted collaborative learning activities, using a structured online survey instrument. The data were subsequently analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results reveal that AI significantly enhances student interaction (β = 0.534, p < 0.000) and improves problem-solving feedback (β = 0.620, p < 0.000), both of which contribute to significantly strengthening collaborative skills (β = 0.716, p < 0.000). However, the findings also indicate that AI alone does not directly improve collaboration without the support of structured pedagogical design and guidance. Therefore, universities should strategically integrate AI-driven feedback into Learning Management Systems (LMS) and strengthen digital literacy initiatives to optimize the effectiveness and sustainability of AI in collaborative learning contexts.

The rapid growth of e-commerce and social commerce in Indonesia has shifted consumer behavior in seeking information prior to making purchase decisions, particularly through electronic word of mouth (e-WOM). This phenomenon poses a challenge for local fashion brands such as Hamata Studios, which has relatively low digital visibility despite having favorable product ratings. This study aims to analyze the effect of e-WOM on purchase intention with brand trust as a mediating variable based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory. This research employs a quantitative approach with an associative research design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents who are familiar with or have interacted with Hamata Studios, using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling method. Data analysis techniques include descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using path analysis, as well as mediation testing using the Sobel test and Variance Accounted For (VAF). The results indicate that e-WOM has a positive and significant effect on both purchase intention and brand trust. Furthermore, brand trust has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. Mediation testing reveals that brand trust significantly mediates the relationship between e-WOM and purchase intention. In conclusion, positive e-WOM can enhance brand trust, which in turn increases consumers’ purchase intention.

Employee engagement is critical to organizational performance, employee well-being, and long-term sustainability. In hybrid work contexts, generational differences have become increasingly evident, particularly between Generation Y and Generation Z employees. Generation Y tends to emphasize work–life balance, career development, and meaningful collaboration, while Generation Z prioritizes flexibility, job security, digital integration, and the use of technology in the workplace. This study adopts a systematic literature review (SLR) approach by synthesizing findings from various peer-reviewed studies related to employee engagement and hybrid work practices across generations. The review focuses on identifying key factors that influence employee engagement in modern work environments. The results indicate that hybrid work can significantly enhance employee engagement when organizations provide flexibility, autonomy, adequate technological support, professional development opportunities, and fair reward systems. In addition, supportive organizational culture and effective leadership are important in maintaining employee motivation and commitment. However, differences in generational expectations require organizations to implement adaptive managerial strategies, including flexible work policies, personalized communication approaches, and inclusive leadership practices to strengthen employee engagement across different generations in hybrid work settings.

Mergers and acquisitions have served as a primary strategy for global banking consolidation over the past three decades, including in Indonesia, which is currently undergoing one of its most massive consolidation waves—one notable example being the emergence of Bank Syariah Indonesia. This article aims to provide a narrative review of the literature on the operational impacts of mergers on bank performance, with a particular focus on implications for the Indonesian context. Based on a systematic search of the Scopus database, 52 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2025 were analyzed using a narrative thematic synthesis approach. Five main themes were identified: cost efficiency, service quality, risk management, human resource and cultural integration, and information systems and technology integration. The key findings indicate that although 73.1% of studies report post-merger improvements in cost efficiency, these benefits are highly contingent upon the quality of post-merger integration especially in the areas of human resources, organizational culture, and information technology with IT integration failure rates reaching as high as 75%. Domestic mergers consistently achieve efficiency gains more rapidly than cross-border mergers, whereas risk implications depend heavily on the type of merger and the quality of integration. Policy implications include the need for the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan) to monitor post-merger integration quality, provide integration guidelines for smaller banks, take into account the specific characteristics of Islamic banks, and ensure a streamlined, non-burdensome licensing process. Further research particularly empirical studies on banking mergers in Indonesia—is urgently needed to test the generalizability of global findings to the local context.

This study aims to analyze the impact of bullying on adolescents’ mental health through a literature review. The method used is a literature review, which involves the collection and analysis of various relevant scientific articles published in the last five years.  Data were obtained from journals and related scientific works, then systematically analyzed to identify patterns of association between bullying and adolescents’ mental health. The results of the review indicate that the majority of studies reveal a negative impact of bullying on mental health, such as the emergence of anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and difficulties in social interaction. However, some studies found that this relationship was not statistically significant, suggesting the role of other factors, such as social support, family circumstances, and an individual’s ability to cope with stress. In addition to affecting victims, bullying also impacts perpetrators and bystanders, making it a complex phenomenon. Therefore, comprehensive prevention and intervention efforts are needed through collaboration between schools, families, and the community.

The results of the study show that pricing strategy contributes dominantly to increasing sales, but the lack of digital promotion causes limited market reach. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in driving national economic development and providing employment. However, in facing an increasingly competitive market, MSMEs need to implement efficient marketing strategies to ensure sustainability and sustainable growth. This community service activity aims to provide knowledge and assistance to Indonesian Es Teh MSMEs regarding the implementation of flexible marketing strategies, both through digital and traditional channels. The activity took place at the Es Teh Kampung Solo outlet in Kramatwatu Square. The methods used included counseling, training, and assessment of marketing strategy implementation, with a primary focus on optimizing social media as an interactive and competitive digital promotional tool. The results of this activity demonstrated a significant increase in MSMEs' understanding of strategic marketing planning, promotional innovation, and the use of digital platforms to expand market reach. Thus, it is hoped that digital-based marketing strategies can strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of MSMEs. This activity is expected to contribute to increasing the competitiveness and sales volume of the Kampung Solo Es Teh MSME in a sustainable manner through the implementation of a modern marketing approach that is responsive to technological changes.

This study examines the effectiveness of urban city parks as a form of Urban Green Open Space (UGOS) in Jayapura City, focusing on Imbi Park (2,347.20 m²) and Mesran Park (2,122.88 m²). A mixed-methods approach combined direct observation of six park characteristics with a questionnaire-based rating-scale assessment of nineteen functional variables covering socio-cultural, aesthetic, and economic functions. Data were collected from 100 visitors and 31 street vendors, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and scoring analysis in accordance with Minister of Public Works Regulation No. 05/PRT/M/2008. Both parks share three dominant functions socio-cultural, aesthetic, and economic while the ecological function is present but not dominant. For Imbi Park, the socio-cultural function was moderately effective (1.8–2.0), aesthetic moderately effective to effective (2.4–2.6), and economic moderately effective (1.8–1.9). For Mesran Park, socio-cultural and aesthetic functions were moderately effective (1.8–2.2), while the economic function was ineffective (1.6). The main weaknesses across both parks are the unavailability of security posts and limited diversity of park-produce-based economic activities. The study recommends developing supporting facilities and a park-profile web portal to improve effectiveness and information accessibility.

Laparotomy is a major surgical procedure associated with a high risk of acute postoperative pain. According to Gan (2017), if pain is not properly managed, it can progress to chronic pain. (Toro et al., 2018) reported that severe pain on the first postoperative day is still commonly found in laparotomy patients, while (Small & Laycock, 2020) indicated that moderate to severe pain within the first 24 hours following major surgery remains a significant clinical issue. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacological pain management following laparotomy under general anesthesia, specifically to identify the types of opioid analgesics used, analyze their effectiveness in reducing pain intensity, identify side effects, and examine administration techniques and routes. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following the PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were conducted in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink databases covering the years 2015–2026. The included studies comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, and retrospective studies addressing opioid pharmacological pain management in adult patients following laparotomy under general anesthesia. Study quality assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) instrument. A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results of the systematic literature review indicate that opioids are effective in reducing postoperative pain following laparotomy under general anesthesia. The most commonly used opioids are morphine, fentanyl, and oxycodone. Of all the opioids reviewed, oxycodone provided the best pain control, while intrathecal morphine was most effective in reducing the need for supplemental opioids during the early postoperative period. Other opioids, such as extended-release dinalbuphine sebacate and tegileridine, are also effective, but the number of studies is still limited. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, pruritus, sedation, and dizziness. Pharmacological pain management using opioids is effective in reducing the intensity of postoperative pain following laparotomy under general anesthesia. Morphine, fentanyl, and oxycodone are the most commonly used opioids. Oxycodone and intrathecal morphine have shown good results in improving pain control and reducing the need for supplemental opioids. The selection of opioid type, dosage, and administration technique must be tailored to the patient’s clinical condition to achieve optimal analgesia with minimal side effects.

The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in Indonesia continues to increase and is associated with the risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases due to oxidative stress. Kombucha has potential as a functional antioxidant beverage; however, its use is still dominated by Camellia sinensis, limiting the utilization of local ingredients. Bilimbi leaves (Averrhoa bilimbi Linn.) have high antioxidant activity and potential as an alternative substrate. This study aimed to analyze the effect of fermentation time variations (4, 7, and 14 days) and sugar concentrations (10% and 15%) on the acceptability and antioxidant activity of bilimbi leaf kombucha, as well as to determine the best formulation. The study used a true experimental design with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) involving six formulations (F1–F6) and one control (F0). Antioxidant activity was analyzed using the DPPH method. The results showed that fermentation time and sugar concentration significantly affected antioxidant activity.). The highest antioxidant activity was found in F2 (IC50 98.67 ppm, strong category). F2 was determined as the best formulation due to its  antioxidant activity. F2 has the potential to be developed as an alternative functional beverage to reduce SSB consumption. Further research is recommended to conduct stability testing and in vivo studies.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi fondasi teologis pernikahan Kristen melalui lensa kovenan (covenant). Di tengah pergeseran paradigma pernikahan yang cenderung dipandang sebagai kontrak sosial yang rapuh, artikel ini menawarkan revitalisasi konsep Berit (Ibrani), Hesed (Ibrani), dan Agape (Yunani) sebagai pilar utama ketahanan keluarga. Menggunakan metode studi pustaka dan analisis leksikal, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa internalisasi nilai kovenan mentransformasi relasi suami istri dari sekadar koeksistensi menjadi persekutuan yang berorientasi pada penatalayanan (stewardship) iman.

The management of nonformal education programs increasingly demands socially grounded approaches capable of fostering inclusivity, sustainability, and community empowerment. This study aims to analyze the concept and implementation of social-based management within nonformal education systems, emphasizing participatory governance, social capital, and collaborative learning as strategic components of effective program administration. Employing a qualitative narrative review methodology, this research synthesizes empirical and conceptual findings from peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2025 to identify dominant themes, theoretical orientations, and emerging innovations in the field. The results reveal that social-based management strengthens institutional accountability,enhances program sustainability, and promotes shared ownership among community stakeholders. The integration of participatory management and social capital theories provides a conceptual foundation for improving nonformal education governance through collaboration, trust networks, and local knowledge mobilization. The study contributes theoretically by refining the framework of participatory educational management, and practically by offering guidance for policymakers and practitioners in designing community-driven education programs. These findings underscore the importance of socially embedded governance as a pathway toward inclusive, adaptive, and transformative nonformal education.

Penelitian ini mengkaji kisah perjumpaan Yesus dengan pemuda kaya dalam Injil Matius 19:16–30, Injil Markus 10:17–31, dan Injil Lukas 18:18–30 dalam perspektif teologi perdamaian dan keadilan sosial. Latar belakang penelitian ini bertolak dari realitas ketimpangan sosial-ekonomi yang semakin meningkat di era modern, yang ditandai oleh kesenjangan antara kelompok kaya dan miskin serta kemiskinan struktural yang terus berlangsung. Dalam konteks tersebut, kisah Yesus dan pemuda kaya dipahami tidak hanya sebagai ajaran moral mengenai keterikatan terhadap harta, tetapi juga sebagai kritik profetis terhadap struktur sosial-ekonomi yang tidak adil. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan (library research) dan hermeneutika kontekstual. Data primer diperoleh dari teks Alkitab dalam ketiga Injil Sinoptik, sedangkan data sekunder berasal dari buku, jurnal ilmiah, dan literatur teologi yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsep shalom dalam teologi perdamaian mencakup keadilan relasional, kesejahteraan sosial, dan solidaritas terhadap kaum marginal. Perintah Yesus kepada pemuda kaya untuk menjual hartanya dan membagikannya kepada orang miskin menunjukkan bahwa iman Kristen tidak dapat dipisahkan dari tanggung jawab sosial. Kekayaan dipahami sebagai stewardship yang harus digunakan demi kesejahteraan bersama. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa gereja dipanggil untuk menjadi agen transformasi sosial melalui praksis keadilan, pemberdayaan ekonomi, pendidikan perdamaian, dan solidaritas sosial di tengah masyarakat Indonesia yang plural dan masih menghadapi ketimpangan sosial-ekonomi.

In today’s world, social media has become an everyday necessity for interacting and socializing with others, but it has both positive and negative effects, particularly on the younger generation. The roles of parents and educators are crucial in building the digital resilience of the younger generation. The solution is to provide early education to the younger generation, particularly new students for the 2025/2026 school year, during the School Orientation Program conducted by the UKMC Community Service Team. The purpose of this activity is to educate new students at SMK Xaverius Palembang to improve their understanding of digital literacy and online etiquette and to use social media more responsibly. The PkM Team served as guest speakers, presenting material on digital literacy and social media ethics, as well as real-life case studies, on Thursday, July 17, 2025, in the auditorium of SMK Xaverius Palembang. This activity is a community service initiative that uses interactive educational methods, in which the team presents five questions related to online gambling, fake news, cyberbullying, explicit content, and ending human trafficking in the form of digital posters, and the students explain them. The team also provided real-life examples and explained their causes and effects. Based on the results of the program, students demonstrated increased awareness of the risks associated with online gambling, fake news, cyberbullying, and explicit content, as well as the importance of combating human trafficking, and were more likely to adopt positive social media etiquette.

The study of power in higher education institutions is important because power dynamics influence not only formal organizational systems but also informal relationships within academic communities. This research aims to analyze patterns of power manifestation in higher education institutions, understand their influence on organizational behavior, and identify the structural and cultural aspects involved in the process. The method applied in this study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), conducted through collecting, reviewing, and synthesizing various relevant literature related to power and governance in higher education. The findings indicate that pro-social manifestations of power and structural empowerment can positively contribute to job satisfaction and create a healthier and more conducive academic climate. On the other hand, centralized authority and unequal power relations may generate various negative impacts on organizations, such as reduced participation and institutional effectiveness. Therefore, higher education institutions need to implement a more participatory and adaptive governance model to minimize the negative effects of power asymmetry while strengthening collaboration, inclusiveness, and the overall quality of the academic environment.

Digital transformation in public administration has become one of the strategic agendas in modern bureaucratic reform to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and quality of public services. This study aims to analyze the digital transformation of public administration through a comparative study between Indonesia and South Korea, particularly in the implementation of digital government. This study uses a qualitative method with a comparative study approach and is supported by library research through secondary data collection from scientific journals, international agency reports, government policy documents, and relevant previous research. The data analysis technique uses descriptive-comparative analysis with the theoretical approaches of Digital Era Governance (DEG), Institutional Theory, New Public Management (NPM), and Socio-Technical Systems Theory. The results of the study show that South Korea has succeeded in developing an integrated digital government because it is supported by consistent national policies, strong data interoperability, high bureaucratic capacity, adaptive organizational culture, and equitable distribution of digital infrastructure. In contrast, Indonesia is still in the transition stage from e-government to digital government and faces various obstacles such as fragmentation of inter-agency systems, low data interoperability, inequality in digital infrastructure, limited ASN competency, and bureaucratic resistance to change. Based on the Digital Era Governance theory, South Korea has successfully implemented the principles of reintegration, needs-based holism, and digitization of changes, while Indonesia remains suboptimal in terms of bureaucratic integration and services based on public needs. This study concludes that the success of digital transformation in public administration is determined more by institutional strength and bureaucratic reform than simply by technology adoption. Therefore, Indonesia needs to prioritize digital transformation as a comprehensive national reform agenda to create a modern, responsive, and service-oriented government.

Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan Model Tridarma Berbasis Panggilan Abraham sebagai paradigma transformasional bagi Perguruan Tinggi Teologi (PTT) di Indonesia. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari krisis identitas PTT yang sering terjebak dalam dikotomi antara tuntutan akademik dan panggilan gerejawi, sehingga Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi—pendidikan, penelitian, dan pengabdian masyarakat—kerap kehilangan orientasi teologis dan relevansi sosialnya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan kerangka “Hermeneutika Filosofis-Kontekstual” yang mengintegrasikan studi filosofis dan critical case study pada STT Suwarnadwipa sebagai living prototype. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui analisis teks Kejadian 12:1–3, dokumen institusional, serta literatur teologis dan filsafat pendidikan. Analisis dilakukan melalui “Siklus Interpretasi Tiga Lapis” yang mencakup lapis eksplanatori, komparatif, dan konstruktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa panggilan Abraham mengandung tiga DNA utama, yaitu divine initiative, costly obedience, dan instrumental blessing, yang dapat menjadi fondasi filosofis-teologis bagi transformasi Tridarma PTT. Berdasarkan sintesis tersebut, penelitian ini menghasilkan tiga pilar utama model, yakni pendidikan sebagai Abrahamic Discipleship, penelitian sebagai Pro Deo et Ethne Inquiry, dan pengabdian masyarakat sebagai Shalom-Based Engagement. Implementasi model pada STT Suwarnadwipa menunjukkan bahwa paradigma Abrahamik mampu mengintegrasikan kesetiaan teologis dengan relevansi kontekstual secara operasional. Penelitian ini berkontribusi secara teoretis melalui pengembangan kerangka “Teologi Dwipa Nusantara,” secara metodologis melalui pendekatan “Hermeneutika Filosofis-Kontekstual,” dan secara praktis melalui penyediaan model operasional yang dapat diadaptasi oleh PTT lain di Indonesia.
