This research aims to systematically analyze the causes, impacts, and strategies for addressing economic recessions through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Using the PRISMA guidelines, this study identifies and synthesizes scientific literature from 2020 to 2025 that discusses economic recessions in both global and national contexts. The study results show that the economic recession is triggered by various factors such as high inflation, energy crises, global pandemics, and geopolitical tensions. The impact extends to the labor sector, the business world, and the social conditions of society, particularly on MSMEs and vulnerable groups. Effective strategies for facing a recession include coordinated fiscal and monetary policies, strengthening the domestic economy, as well as technology-based innovation and multisector collaboration. These findings provide a conceptual foundation for formulating adaptive economic policies in facing future economic crises.

This study aims to analyze interest rate risk management in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that use People's Business Credit (KUR) facilities, with a case study at the Kari Water Drinking Water Depot in Kulim District, Pekanbaru City. Fluctuations in interest rates are one of the financial risks that can affect the continuity of MSME businesses, especially in terms of the ability to pay credit obligations. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the Kari Water Depot faces financial risks due to interest rate fluctuations, operational risks related to water distribution and quality, and legal risks due to drinking water quality regulations. The application of risk management based on ISO 31000 has been proven to help in the process of systematic risk identification, analysis, and mitigation. The mitigation strategy through investment in Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology is considered effective because it can improve product quality and operational efficiency. However, the success of this strategy is greatly influenced by the readiness of human resources, access to financing, and mature risk planning. This study recommends the importance of risk management training for MSMEs and policy support in the form of access to affordable funding and environmentally friendly technology to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of MSMEs amidst economic dynamics.

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

The rapid technological developments of this decade have had a positive impact on the transparency of information in financial reports. Transparent financial report information demonstrates the quality of the financial reports. Public accountants are tasked with providing an opinion on the fairness of the presented financial reports. The standard used by a public accountant in assessing the fairness of financial reports is the Public Accounting Auditing Standards (SPAP). The SPAP contains guidelines for carrying out the audit cycle systematically and in accordance with procedures, starting from the pre-engagement, planning, and reporting stages. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct audit report preparation training for prospective auditors, conducted by a team of lecturers from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Dian Nuswantoro University through a community service program. This community service activity took as participants prospective auditors from STIE Semarang students at KAP Sarastanto and Rekan in Semarang City. This activity was carried out so that prospective auditors could be provided with the knowledge and skills to complete the audit cycle from pre-engagement to reporting. The methods used in this community service program were presentations and mentoring, while the training material for preparing audit reports was carried out by the community service team and practitioners (auditors) from KAP Sarastanto and Rekan. The results of this training show that prospective auditors (STIE Semarang students) are able to understand the audit cycle systematically and are able to realize the importance of audit reports for stakeholders.

This study aims to analyze the influence of inflation, interest rates, capital structure, and profitability on stock prices in manufacturing companies. The background of this research highlights the volatility of the Indonesian economy, which is driven by macroeconomic factors that significantly affect capital market performance. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study synthesized 10 relevant articles published between 2023 and 2025, collected through Google Scholar using specified keywords. The findings reveal varied results: inflation and interest rates generally have a negative influence on stock prices, although some studies report insignificant effects. Similarly, capital structure shows both positive and negative impacts, depending on company conditions and research contexts. Profitability also presents mixed outcomes; some studies found significant relationships, while others reported no influence on stock prices. This literature-based synthesis highlights inconsistencies in previous empirical findings and reinforces the need for further research to clarify the interaction between these variables and stock market performance. The study contributes to providing a comprehensive understanding for investors, financial analysts, and policymakers in making better investment and strategic financial decisions under uncertain economic conditions.

The Indonesian manufacturing industry is currently facing intense pressure due to global economic fluctuations and domestic volatility, prompting a strategic reassessment of sustainability practices to maintain competitiveness. While firm value reflects investor confidence, discrepancies remain between operational performance and market valuation, particularly in highly profitable firms. This study aims to systematically investigate how internal corporate factors namely dividend policy, firm size, and green accounting influence firm value. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, ten journal articles published between 2023 and 2025 were selected based on indexation (SINTA, Scopus, Copernicus), methodological clarity, and variable alignment. The articles were screened and analyzed using content analysis techniques, supported by Microsoft Excel and Mendeley for structured data extraction. The findings reveal that a stable dividend policy serves as a strong signal of financial stability, firm size reinforces strategic positioning and resource capacity, and green accounting strengthens legitimacy through sustainability disclosure. These factors jointly shape market perceptions and ultimately influence firm valuation. The synthesis supports both signal theory and legitimacy theory in explaining the transmission of value through internal policies. This study contributes theoretically by integrating financial and sustainability variables into a unified value framework and offers practical insights for corporate decision-makers seeking to align internal strategies with investor expectations. Limitations include reliance on secondary data and scope restricted to the manufacturing sector. Future studies should explore empirical validation through cross-sectoral analysis and primary data to enrich the findings.

This study investigates the comparative use of satire and sarcasm in the criminal comedy show Lapor Pak! episode “Pasukin Naik Gaji.” Satire and sarcasm are both rhetorical devices used to criticize social realities through humor, but differ in subtlety and sharpness. The aim of this research is to identify and analyze the forms and meanings of satirical and sarcastic expressions in the show’s dialogues. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method and applies stylistic theory and humor theory as the analytical framework. The data source is a 26-minute episode aired on the 7Comedy YouTube channel on January 8, 2025. From the linguistic data collected, 20 utterances were found: 15 contain sarcasm, 11 irony, and 9 satire (some overlapping). The findings show that sarcasm is used more dominantly than satire, often reflecting economic frustration, while satire criticizes social issues in a more humorous and indirect way. Both styles serve not only to entertain but also to reflect social resistance and expose systemic injustice, especially regarding economic inequality. The analysis concludes that humor becomes a linguistic tool of social commentary and coping mechanism for workers.

Lobster is one of Indonesia's marine resources that has high economic value and is very important for the country's economy, but excessive lobster fishing and smuggling of lobster seeds have caused a decrease in the productivity of marine resources and significant state losses, so effective law enforcement efforts are needed to protect Indonesia's marine resources from these illegal acts. The problem in this study is how the law is enforced by the West Tanjung Jabung Police against the crime of smuggling lobster seeds (Study of Case Register Decision Number: 144 / Pid.Sus / 2023 / Pn Klt ), and what factors are the causes. The research method used is normative juridical, a type of legal research that focuses on the analysis and interpretation of legal norms that apply in a legal system. The study shows that the three defendants in the crime of smuggling lobster seeds were sentenced to 2 years in prison and a fine of IDR 5,000,000 based on Article 27 number 26 Article 92 of Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation. The factors causing this crime include internal factors (economic and education) and external factors (politics, environment, and lack of security). Suggestions from the study are: Reviewing the lobster seed export policy. Improving coordination between law enforcement officers and community participation. Improving the capacity and competence of law enforcement personnel.

This study also emphasizes the importance of harmonious coordination between monetary and fiscal policies in order to create optimal synergy in achieving national economic goals.    

Musyarakah Mutanaqisah (MMQ) is a form of sharia-based financing that offers a home ownership solution free from elements of interest (riba). This article aims to analyze the application of the MMQ contract in housing finance, compare it with the conventional mortgage scheme (Kredit Pemilikan Rumah/KPR), and evaluate its impact on community welfare. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review of academic sources, regulations, and other relevant data. The analysis shows that MMQ is superior in terms of compliance with Islamic principles, fairness in risk sharing, and flexibility in payment structure. Furthermore, the MMQ scheme contributes to the improvement of social and economic well-being, particularly for the lower-middleincome segment of society. Nevertheless, its implementation still faces challenges such as the risk of default and the need for strengthened risk management systems. Therefore, collaboration between Islamic financial j, the government, and the public is essential to optimize the potential of MMQ as a fair and sustainable alternative for home financing

Macroeconomic uncertainty poses a structural challenge for the sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Fluctuations in inflation, benchmark interest rates, and exchange rates have a direct impact on liquidity, cost structures, and investment decisions. This study aims to explore the types of financial strategies adopted by MSMEs in response to macroeconomic pressures using a systematic literature review and secondary data analysis covering the period from 2019 to May 2024. Data were sourced from official national institutions, including the Central Bureau of Statistics, Bank Indonesia, the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSMEs, as well as relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that MSME financial strategies can be categorized into three key domains: cash management, cost control, and investment planning. MSMEs employing flexible strategies—such as increasing cash buffers, reducing operational costs, and diversifying products or financing sources—demonstrate higher resilience in the face of economic volatility. This study contributes theoretically by enriching the framework of financial adaptation for MSMEs and practically by informing financial literacy programs and policy design. The study also acknowledges limitations in the use of aggregate secondary data and recommends that future research adopt a mixed-method approach to capture undocumented informal financial practices at the grassroots level

This article presents a theoretical review of the relationship between monetary policy and inflation rates in developing countries. High inflation remains a major challenge for developing economies due to global price fluctuations, import dependency, and weak domestic economic structures. Monetary policy instruments such as policy interest rates, open market operations, and reserve requirements play a vital role in controlling inflation, although their effectiveness is often hampered by shallow financial markets, low financial inclusion, and limited central bank credibility. Moreover, external factors such as imported inflation reduce the ability of monetary policy to maintain price stability. This study highlights the importance of digital innovation, including the use of big data, digital payment systems, and real-time analytics to enhance monetary policy effectiveness. It concludes that structural reforms, stronger central bank credibility, and strategic adoption of digital innovation are essential to achieve price stability and sustainable economic growth in the globalization era.

The analysis results show that compensation has a significant influence on job satisfaction. Additionally, compensation effectiveness is affected by economic conditions, compensation system structure, and the relevance of compensation to employee needs. The study concludes that well-designed compensation can be a strategic tool for improving performance and reducing employee turnover.

In the digital economy era, financial transparency has become a critical aspect for the sustainability and credibility of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Despite their substantial contribution to employment and economic growth, many MSMEs in Indonesia still rely on manual accounting systems, which limit the accuracy and traceability of financial reporting. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of cloud-based accounting automation on financial transparency among Indonesian MSMEs. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collected quantitative data from 120 MSME respondents in Jakarta and West Java through structured questionnaires and qualitative data from six key informants through semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using simple linear regression, resulting in a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.513 and a beta coefficient of 0.598 (p = 0.000), indicating a strong and significant influence of accounting automation on financial transparency. Qualitative findings also revealed improvements in real-time access, reporting accuracy, and transaction traceability. The study confirms that cloud-based digital accounting systems enhance financial transparency by enabling automated integration, audit trails, and timely reporting. These findings contribute to the literature on digital transformation in MSMEs and offer practical implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and software providers to accelerate technology adoption and improve financial governance in the MSME sector.

This study explores employment development strategies aimed at bolstering economic growth in North Sumatra Province using the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model and an eighteen-year time series dataset. The variables analyzed include the Human Development Index (HDI), total population, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), and Open Unemployment Rate (OUR). The estimation results reveal dynamic interrelationships among these variables over short, medium, and long-term periods. The VAR analysis with a lag of 2 illustrates how each variable contributes to both itself and the other variables. It also shows that past variables (t-1) significantly impact current variables. Furthermore, the response function analysis identifies how a change in one variable is responded to by others across different time horizons. Stability analysis confirms that all variables maintain medium-to-long-term stability over a five-year period. The Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD) highlights HDI, population, and GRDP as the most influential variables in shaping the employment system and economic development overall. The VAR model used meets the stability test criteria, making the findings a reliable basis for policy research.

Nutritional problems among elementary school-aged children remain a critical public health issue in Indonesia. A lack of family understanding regarding the importance of balanced nutrition is one of the key contributing factors to the high rates of stunting and malnutrition. This community service activity aims to improve family awareness of children's nutrition through an educational approach tailored to the families’ social, economic, and cultural characteristics. The program was conducted at SD Inpres Laikang, involving 60 families. The methods included identification of family characteristics, focus group discussions (FGDs), interactive lectures, and pre-and post-test evaluations. The results showed an improvement in nutritional understanding among 87% of participants, along with healthier dietary behavior changes at home. This approach adapts the principles of the Harvard Public Health Nutrition Model, which views the family as a systemic unit in shaping children's eating habits. Education based on family characteristics has proven effective and relevant in supporting sustainable nutrition literacy improvement.
