The food and beverage subsector of the manufacturing industry, despite experiencing positive growth, still faces challenges in maintaining financial performance stability, such as high operational costs, suboptimal capital structure, and efficiency differences across company scales. This study aims to examine the effect of operational efficiency, leverage, and firm size on financial performance, both partially and simultaneously, in food and beverage manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2022–2024 period. The sample consists of 16 companies selected using purposive sampling, with a total of 48 observations. This research applies a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis and hypothesis testing through partial (t-test) and simultaneous (F-test) methods with STATA version 14. The best model used is the Random Effect Model (REM), selected through Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests. The findings indicate that leverage has a significant negative effect on financial performance when tested partially, while operational efficiency and firm size do not have a significant partial effect. However, when tested simultaneously, operational efficiency, leverage, and firm size significantly influence the financial performance of food and beverage manufacturing companies listed on the IDX.  

MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) are one of the main drivers of Indonesia’s economy. However, many MSMEs still face limited access to financing. One traditional Balinese culinary product that attracts tourists is ayam betutu, which represents the MSME sector. This study aims to analyze the influence of own capital, business duration, working hours, and e-commerce on the income of ayam betutu culinary MSMEs in Denpasar City, both simultaneously and partially. This research employs a quantitative method using multiple linear regression analysis. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, with criteria including MSMEs engaged in traditional culinary businesses with ayam betutu as their main product and those that utilize e-commerce in their business operations. A total of 70 ayam betutu culinary MSME actors in Denpasar City were included. The findings reveal that, simultaneously, own capital, business duration, working hours, and e-commerce have a significant effect on MSME income. Partially, own capital, business duration, and e-commerce have a positive and significant effect on income, whereas working hours do not have a significant partial effect. The implication of this study is that MSME actors need to improve their capacity in capital management, maintain business continuity, and optimize e-commerce utilization to increase income. The government is expected to support MSMEs through financial and digital literacy training, institutional strengthening, and the facilitation of mentoring programs and sustainable access to financing.

The Simalungun culture, a vital part of the Batak ethnic identity in North Sumatra, is increasingly at risk of marginalization due to the accelerating influence of globalization and national standardization in education. Despite policy allowances for local content (muatan lokal), the incorporation of Simalungun cultural elements into formal schooling remains inconsistent and largely superficial. This study aims to investigate how educational institutions can serve as effective agents of cultural socialization to preserve and transmit Simalungun cultural identity among youth. Employing a qualitative interpretive approach, the research integrates ethnographic observation, in-depth interviews, and discourse analysis of curriculum documents across five Simalungun-majority schools. Data were analyzed using NVivo and interpreted through the lenses of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capital. The findings reveal major structural and pedagogical barriers: most teachers lack training in Simalungun traditions, curriculum content is minimal, and student cultural awareness is declining. However, the study also identifies effective practices in schools that involve community elders and use experiential methods, demonstrating improved student engagement and cultural retention. A Cultural Transmission Score (CTS) of 0.46 confirms the limited efficacy of current efforts. The study concludes that formal education systems must move beyond ceremonial inclusion to structural integration of local culture, supported by teacher development and community-school collaboration. These insights offer a scalable framework for strengthening indigenous cultural education in minority contexts.

Abstract. This study aims to analyze the effect of Return On Equity (ROE) on stock prices at PT Ace Hardware Indonesia Tbk during the 2021–2024 period. The background of this research emphasizes the importance of the capital market as a means of investment and a source of corporate funding, as well as the need for financial ratio analysis in investment decision-making. This research employs a quantitative approach using descriptive statistical analysis and multiple regression methods. The data analyzed includes the company's annual ROE and stock price values. The results indicate fluctuations in both ROE and stock prices over the period. Although ROE declined in 2022, it showed a subsequent upward trend. The drop in ROE during 2022 coincided with a sharp decline in stock prices, presumably due to unmet investor expectations. The main finding reveals a positive relationship between ROE and stock prices, where an increase in ROE tends to be followed by a rise in stock prices. This suggests that ROE is a crucial indicator for investors in evaluating company performance and investment prospects. The study concludes that improving capital utilization efficiency through a high ROE can enhance the attractiveness of a company's stock in the capital market.

This study aims to analyze the strategy of strengthening beef cattle farming through an integrated agribusiness subsystem approach at the Sebatur Tunggal Farmer Group in Muara Badak District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The background of this study is based on the importance of developing an integrated agribusiness system to increase the productivity and competitiveness of smallholder livestock farming, especially in the face of challenges such as feed availability, market access, and institutional and technological support. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, where data is collected through observation, in-depth interviews with members of farmer groups and related parties, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that each agribusiness subsystem—starting from the input subsystem (upstream), cultivation subsystem (on-farm), processing and marketing subsystem (downstream), to supporting subsystems such as institutions, capital, and technology—is still running partially and has not been optimally integrated. The main problems identified include limited access to quality feed, low application of efficient cultivation technology, limitations in processing livestock products, and weak marketing and partnership networks. In addition, the institutional capacity of farmer groups to manage businesses collectively still needs to be strengthened. The conclusion of this study states that the strategy for strengthening beef cattle farming businesses needs to be focused on developing an integrated agribusiness system with support from training, extension, access to inputs and markets, and cross-sector collaboration. The main recommendation is the need for policy interventions that encourage synergy between subsystems and empower farmers through a participatory and sustainable approach to create a resilient and competitive community farm.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have an important role in the Indonesian economy, especially in facing economic crises such as the 1998 monetary crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. MSMEs are at the forefront in creating jobs and contributing to economic growth, even though they face various challenges, including capital problems. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. This research uses primary data collected from interviews with the owner of Pajeng Cokelat. Pajeng Cokelat is a micro business located in Blitar and makes various kinds of processed chocolate to be used as snacks. The owner of Pajeng Cokelat is active in participating in training activities aimed at improving skills both related to marketing and the products produced. The results of this research highlight the government's efforts to overcome capital problems through programs such as People's Business Credit (KUR) and business training. However, increasing financial literacy is needed, especially in the context of sharia finance, to support the sustainable growth of MSMEs. By overcoming these challenges, MSMEs can continue to play a role in driving the national economy.

Firm value is a fundamental indicator of a company's success in generating shareholder wealth and is often presumed to be influenced by various internal factors, including capital structure and profitability. This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between capital structure and profitability with firm value. A quantitative approach was employed using an associative research design. The study population included all companies listed in the LQ45 Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. Using a saturated sampling technique, a total of 135 observational data points were initially obtained. After eliminating 12 outlier data points, the final sample consisted of 123 observations. The research utilized secondary data in the form of annual financial statements of the sample companies, which were downloaded from the official IDX website (www.idx.co.id). To test the proposed hypotheses, the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the SPSS application. The results show that capital structure does not have a significant relationship with firm value (p-value = 0.064). This finding indicates that, in the context of this study, the company's debt-to-equity composition does not significantly affect its perceived value in the market. However, profitability was found to have a positive and significant relationship with firm value (p-value = 0.003). This suggests that profitability serves as an effective signal for investors in determining firm value, while capital structure does not. In practical terms, company management is advised to focus on enhancing profitability and strengthening business fundamentals, innovation, and good corporate governance as value drivers. Meanwhile, investors are encouraged to conduct a more comprehensive analysis, placing greater emphasis on profitability.

Community empowerment is a strategy to strengthen the community's economy in order to improve the quality of life and socio-economic independence of residents, especially in areas with high poverty rates. This article aims to examine the impact of providing business capital on improving the community's economy in supporting the success of the program implemented by Muhammadiyah University Prof. Hamka. The implementation method is through a counseling approach on community empowerment. In addition, this program also encourages a sense of hard work and social solidarity. The results of the activities show an increase in socio-economics and can overcome poverty problems. Empowerment carried out by students also creates values ​​of mutual cooperation and social solidarity. Student involvement in capital assistance-based empowerment programs is a driver of economic change in society. Therefore, synergy is needed between the surrounding community and community institutions to create a just society and reduce poverty in certain areas.

West Sumatra Province, particularly Tanah Datar Regency, is one of Indonesia’s disaster-prone regions, recently affected by a cold lahar flood triggered by the volcanic activity of Mount Marapi. This disaster caused severe infrastructure damage and fatalities, posing significant challenges to the effectiveness of social aid distribution under emergency conditions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of adaptive governance principles in the distribution of social assistance by the Social Affairs Office of Tanah Datar Regency, focusing on four main pillars: collaboration, coordination, social capital development, and capacity building. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of 15 key informants from various stakeholders. The findings reveal that collaborative and coordinative practices have been functionally applied but remain largely informal and undocumented within a systematic framework. Community social capital played a critical role in supporting aid distribution, though it has yet to be fully institutionalized. Meanwhile, institutional and human resource capacity faces limitations, particularly in the use of information technology and preparedness for large-scale disasters. The study concludes that the application of adaptive governance in disaster management requires strengthened coordination structures, real-time information systems, and active community engagement across all governance processes. This research contributes both theoretically and practically to developing a more resilient, inclusive, and responsive model for post-disaster social aid distribution.

Finansial restructuring is an important strategy in maintaining company sustainability and growth, especially in the face of external and internal pressures. Mergers, acquisitions, and leveraged buyouts (LBOs) are the three main instruments in restructuring strategies used by companies in various sectors. This study aims to systematically review the current academic literature on the impact, challenges, and effectiveness of using mergers, acquisitions, and LBOs in the context of financial restructuring. By reviewing more than 20 sources from academic journals and recent financial reports, this study identifies trends, research gaps, as well as theoretical and practical contributions of each of these instruments. The findings show that all three instruments have significant potential to improve a firm's operational efficiency and capital structure, but also carry substantial risks if not managed strategically.

This study analyzes the linguistic varieties of the fishing community in Adipala, Cilacap, with a focus on distinctive vocabulary such as “bondo” (capital for sailing), “pancingan” (fishing gear), and “jaring lampara” (a type of fishing net). Employing a qualitative approach through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, the research identifies lexical variations and register patterns used across different communicative contexts, including interactions among fishermen, fish trading transactions, and communication with the broader community. The findings reveal that fishermen’s registers serve not only as technical communication tools but also as markers of social and cultural identity and as a means of adaptation to technological and socio-economic changes. These results highlight the importance of preserving local fishermen’s vocabulary as part of cultural heritage and contribute to the development of sociolinguistic studies on professional groups in Indonesia. The study also recommends documentation and integration of local registers into education and community empowerment programs.

This study aims to analyze the influence of intellectual capital, firm size, liquidity, and capital structure on firm value, with profitability as a mediating variable. The research focuses on consumer non-cyclicals sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression and the Sobel test to measure both direct and mediating effects. The results indicate that intellectual capital has a significant positive effect on profitability, while firm size and liquidity do not show a significant impact. Capital structure has a significant negative effect on profitability. Additionally, intellectual capital and capital structure significantly influence firm value, whereas firm size and liquidity do not. Profitability is proven to mediate the effect of intellectual capital and capital structure on firm value but does not mediate the relationship between firm size and liquidity and firm value. These findings support the Resource-Based Theory (RBT), which highlights the importance of managing strategic resources to create added value, and the Signaling Theory, which suggests that profitability and capital structure provide positive signals to investors regarding firm performance. The study implies that companies should prioritize managing intellectual capital and capital structure to enhance profitability, ultimately increasing firm value. Future research is recommended to extend the study period and consider external variables, such as macroeconomic conditions, for more comprehensive insights.
