Cooperatives have a strategic role in improving people's welfare, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. As one of the pillars of the national economy, cooperatives function as a forum for community cooperation in meeting economic needs in a fair and sustainable manner. This study aims to analyze the role of cooperatives in improving people's welfare through a library research approach. The method used in this study is a descriptive method with deductive data analysis techniques, where data is obtained from various sources such as books, journals, and laws and regulations related to cooperatives. The results of the study show that cooperatives contribute to community economic empowerment by providing more inclusive access to capital, creating jobs, and improving social welfare through education and health programs. With the principle of mutual cooperation and democratic management, cooperatives can be a solution in creating a more independent and prosperous people's economy. Therefore, consistent regulatory support and increased human resource capacity are needed so that cooperatives can function optimally in community economic development.

This study investigates the effects of liquidity, activity, capital structure, and profitability on sustainable growth and firm value in heavy construction and civil engineering companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using data from 18 companies (2021–2023) and applying SEM-PLS analysis, results show that activity and profitability positively and significantly influence sustainable growth, while liquidity and capital structure do not. Sustainable growth significantly mediates the impact of activity on firm value but does not mediate the effects of capital structure or profitability. The study suggests that effective management of operational activities and profitability supports sustainable growth, which in turn enhances firm value. These findings offer insights for managers and investors to focus on sustainable growth strategies for long-term value creation in the Indonesian construction sector.

This study aims to analyze the influence of macroeconomic conditions, capital, and good corporate governance on earnings, financial risk, and yield to maturity bond, with bond rating acting as a moderating variable. The research focuses on banking companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). A Quantitative approach with a secondary data from Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) and Indonesian Bond Market Directory (IDMB) Purposive sampling method was applied, resulting in 102 active banking bond samples listed on the IDX during the 2020–2023 period. The hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Out of 14 proposed hypotheses, 4 were supported with statistically significant results, while the remaining 10 were not. The results show that capital has a significant effect on financial risk, while earnings significantly influence both financial risk and bond yield to maturity. Overall, this study shows that internal factors like earnings and capital have a stronger impact on a company’s risk perception and debt cost than implementation good corporate governance and macroeconomic conditions. It also highlights the important role of bond ratings in reflecting a company’s reputation and credit quality in the banking bond market.

The property and real estate sector is one of the business sectors that makes a significant contribution to the country's economic turnover and growth. With the ever-evolving challenges, companies in the property and real estate sector must adapt their business strategies to remain competitive amidst uncertain market conditions. Therefore, innovation in resource management and efforts to enhance operational efficiency are essential to drive optimal profitability. This study aims to examine the effect of good corporate governance, proxied by the board of directors and audit committee, intellectual capital, firm size, and company growth on company profitability. This research utilizes secondary data sourced from the annual reports of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2023 period. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method based on specific criteria, resulting in a total of 50 companies as observations. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software with a multiple linear regression method. The results indicate that the board of directors, audit committee, intellectual capital, and company growth do not have a significant effect on company profitability, whereas firm size has a positive and significant effect on company profitability.

This study provides a comprehensive synthesis of ten SINTA-accredited journal articles (levels 1–3) published from 2019 to 2024, examining how a low-interest-rate policy environment affects corporate capital structure in Indonesia. We focus on internal determinants (profitability, firm size, asset composition) versus external factors (market interest rates) in shaping firms’ debt ratios. The meta-analysis results indicate that although low interest rates statistically encourage higher leverage (average coefficient +0.28), internal firm characteristics remain the dominant drivers of capital structure decisions. Approximately 80% of studies report that more profitable firms tend to reduce debt ratios, consistent with the pecking order theory. In the post-pandemic context, low rates initially facilitated cheap borrowing, but heightened economic uncertainty underscores the need for managers to align funding strategy with each firm’s risk profile. The study draws practical implications: financial managers should calibrate capital structure in line with profitability and market volatility, while regulators should monitor corporate debt growth to safeguard financial stability. The findings also suggest directions for future research on how evolving macroeconomic conditions influence corporate finance in Indonesia.

This study aims to determine the effect of using the "Let's Get to Know Capital Letters" Board media on the learning outcomes of grade V MINU Waru I students in the Indonesian Language subject. This study uses a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design on 28 students. The instrument used was a written test given before and after the treatment. The pretest results showed an average value of 64.5, while the posttest increased to 83.2. Statistical tests showed significant results with a p value = 0.000 (<0.05), which indicates that there is a meaningful difference between before and after using the media. This board media is designed to facilitate students' visual and interactive understanding of capital letter material. The results of the study indicate that this media is effective in improving student learning outcomes. The use of concrete and fun media has been proven to increase student involvement and motivation in the Indonesian Language learning process. Thus, the application of innovative media like this can be an effective strategy to improve the quality of education in elementary schools.  

This study aims to determine the effect of asset growth and capital structure on profitability in Food and Beverage sub-sector manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018-2022 period. The data collection method used is secondary data from financial reports of Food and Beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The population in this study was 43 companies and 16 samples were obtained using purposive sampling. The results of this study partially 1. Asset growth has a positive and insignificant effect on profitability. This is supported by the company PT Tri Banyan Tbk which experienced a decline in asset growth for 5 consecutive years. 2. Capital structure has a negative and significant effect on profitability. This shows that if the capital structure of a Food and Beverage company increases, profitability will decrease and vice versa. 3. Simultaneously, Asset growth and capital structure have a significant effect on profitability. This shows that if asset growth and capital structure increase or decrease, it will affect profitability in Food and Beverage companies.

This study aims to analyze the effect of investment decisions, capital structure, company size on profitability and Sustainable Growth, with profitability as a mediating variable and Financial Flexibility as a moderating variable. Data is obtained from secondary sources, namely audited financial reports from heavy construction and civil engineering subsector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2019-2023 period. The analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that investment decisions, capital structure, and company size have a significant effect on profitability. However, only company size has a significant effect on Sustainable Growth. Investment decisions and capital structure have no significant effect on Sustainable Growth. Profitability also has an insignificant effect on Sustainable Growth and does not mediate the relationship between variables. In addition, financial flexibility does not moderate the relationship between profitability and sustainable growth. This finding indicates that increased profitability is more influenced by investment strategy, capital structure, and firm scale, but does not necessarily translate directly into Sustainable Growth.

Under Law No. 1 of 2023 or the New Criminal Code, capital punishment is regulated as a punishment that involves the deprivation of the defendant's life for serious crimes committed, with its implementation following the procedural rules for capital punishment in Indonesia. The provisions outlined in Article 67 of the New Criminal Code specify the application of capital punishment in Indonesia, stating that it is no longer the primary punishment but rather the last resort after a ten-year probationary period. This study uses a normative legal method with legal sources such as primary legal materials, namely laws regulating capital punishment, as well as secondary legal materials, which explain and clarify the primary laws. The debate on capital punishment involves two main schools of thought, namely those who support the application of capital punishment for serious crimes and those who reject the application of capital punishment due to the human rights perspective adopted by the Indonesian state.  Criticism of the death penalty includes issues of the right to life and the legal treatment that should be given by the government to defendants for extraordinary crimes, especially in cases of corruption, premeditated murder, and narcotics. In this study, it was found that (1) the optimal form of regulation of the death penalty for extraordinary crimes has actually been implemented quite well, but the execution of the death penalty is still considered weak by the author because the execution must be preceded by a waiting period of several years in prison for the condemned prisoner (2) that the death penalty is not contrary to human rights, whether viewed from a legal, religious, or international perspective. (3) The new Criminal Code can balance the retributive and rehabilitative aspects as the ideal concept for the implementation of the death penalty. However, in some provisions, it is hoped that the death penalty can be used as a Premium Remedium in certain cases.

This article aims to analyze the relevance and implementation of Islamic economic principles within the context of a contemporary economic system dominated by capitalist paradigms. The background of this research stems from the global reality marked by wealth distribution inequality, moral crises in business, and social injustices resulting from profit-oriented economic systems. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method, analyzing scholarly works, official institutional reports, and academic studies related to Islamic economics and modern economic challenges. The findings indicate that Islamic economic principles such as social justice, equitable wealth distribution, and the prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (excessive uncertainty), and maysir (gambling) hold strong applicative value in addressing various contemporary economic issues. Concrete implementations of these principles can be observed in the development of Islamic financial systems, digital zakat (almsgiving), productive waqf (endowments), and increasingly innovative and technology-responsive Islamic banking services. The discussion also reveals that Islamic economics can serve as an ethical and sustainable alternative to capitalism and socialism, particularly in terms of distributive justice and economic stability. Despite facing challenges in literacy, regulation, and technological infrastructure, Islamic economics has significant growth potential through collaboration among academics, practitioners, and policymakers. The conclusion of this study affirms that Islamic economic principles can serve as a transformative solution for the global economic system if applied adaptively, innovatively, and inclusively.

In the traditional commercial banking industry, this study attempts to provide empirical data about the impact of board size and gender diversity on business performance, using intellectual capital as a moderating variable. The research population includes all companies in the conventional commercial bank sector as many as 39 companies, with purposive sampling technique resulting in 36 companies as samples. The analysis methods used include descriptive statistical analysis, classical assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, and moderation regression analysis. Multiple linear regression results demonstrate that board size significantly and favourably affects business success, while gender diversity has no significant effect. In addition, moderation regression analysis results demonstrate that intellectual capital can fortify the relationship between board size and company performance, but does not strengthen the connection between business performance and gender diversity.

In this study, a women's empowerment program for fisherwomen in Domas Village, Serang Regency, was used to investigate the impact of village fund management on improving the welfare of coastal communities. This research stems from an awareness of the importance of villages in realizing sustainable development that relies on local potential, especially in vulnerable and marginalized coastal areas. To improve community welfare, including that of women who have been less involved in village development processes, effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable management of village funds is crucial. The research method employed was qualitative, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentary studies. The research results show that the management of village funds in Domas Village has brought many benefits, such as the establishment of BUMDes shrimp farms and catering services, which can create jobs and increase local revenue. However, women's participation in village programs is still limited to certain industries such as beauty services and seafood processing. To achieve optimal women's empowerment, key barriers include limited human resources, limited access to capital, and the lack of integration of women's SMEs into the village funding structure. The results indicate that an inclusive and locally-driven approach to village fund management can enhance community well-being more equitably and drive sustainable socio-economic transformation.

Using a case study of the Food and Beverage industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2017 and 2022, this study seeks to examine the partial impact of financial performance on stock prices through Earnings Per Share (EPS). Ratios like Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), EPS, and share prices are used to gauge financial performance. Using a saturated sampling method, 18 firms were chosen for the sample. Using a quantitative technique with a descriptive approach, this study performs data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the aid of SmartPLS version 3. 0. According to the study's findings, ROA has a considerable impact on EPS but not on share values. ROE has no discernible impact on stock prices or EPS. Nevertheless, EPS is shown to be a mediating variable between ROA and ROE, both of which have a substantial impact on share values. Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of financial management is one of the recommendations, particularly in areas that have an impact on EPS, such as capital structure and profitability. When making investment decisions, investors should pay attention to financial performance metrics like stock values, EPS, ROA, and ROE. To gain a more thorough analysis, future academics are urged to consider more variables, such the Price to Earnings Ratio, Dividend Payout Ratio, and external elements such as inflation and interest rates.

Tropical regions offer significant opportunities in the development of renewable energy, particularly through industrial-scale Solar Power Plants (PLTS). This study aims to analyze PLTS implementation strategies in tropical areas as a means to support clean energy and green economic development. A literature study with a qualitative-descriptive approach was employed. The results show that industrial-scale PLTS implementation is highly promising due to stable and high solar radiation throughout the year. However, challenges persist such as limited infrastructure, high initial capital, and inconsistent regulatory frameworks. Thus, collaboration among stakeholders is essential to establish a sustainable energy ecosystem.

As one of the banking service providers in Indonesia, PT ABC employs more than 30,000 employees nationwide. As one of the largest banking institutions in the country, PT ABC encounters various challenges, particularly in the area of human resources. The increasing trend of employees leaving the company has led to a higher turnover intention rate at PT ABC compared to its competitors. This elevated intention to resign has become a critical concern for the company, as it directly impacts workplace stability and overall productivity. As a result, retaining employees has become a continuous challenge for the organization. This study aims to examine the influence of career advancement and compensation on employee turnover intention at PT ABC Area XYZ. In this research, career advancement and compensation are considered two key factors that affect employee loyalty. The research adopts a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. The sample consisted of 150 permanent employees of PT ABC Area XYZ, and data were collected using a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The data analysis techniques applied in this study include descriptive statistical analysis and the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method, using SmartPLS Version 4 software. The findings reveal that career advancement has a negative but statistically insignificant effect on turnover intention, whereas compensation has a significantly negative effect on turnover intention. This research is expected to provide valuable input, particularly for the Human Capital Management department, in developing strategies to retain employees and reduce turnover intention within the company.

Economic development in today's world has grown rapidly, leading to numerous changes in human life. By investing in the capital market, it becomes one of the alternatives for financing the community's economy and is easily accessible to the public. One of them is to invest in bond securities in issuer companies. However, by purchasing bonds in the capital market with the issuer company, in addition to providing benefits through interest rates, there are risks, including if the issuer company goes bankrupt. Under these conditions, the holder of the unsecured bond will be positioned as a concurrent creditor, whose repayment is made after the separatist and preferred creditor. Although not guaranteed collateral, bondholders still obtain legal guarantees of their rights through information disclosure, the role of trustees, and arrangements within the applicable legal framework.

Terminals serve as transportation nodes that play a vital role in supporting community mobility and urban economic activities. As the capital city of Papua Province with a population of 420,577 inhabitants, Jayapura City requires an efficient transportation system to support increasingly dynamic social and economic activities. Entrop Terminal, as a Type A Terminal and the main transportation hub of Jayapura City, serves various transportation modes ranging from inter-city inter-provincial transport, cross-border transport, intra-provincial inter-city transport, urban transport, to rural transport. However, there is a significant problem where users prefer to wait for public transportation outside the terminal due to long queues inside the terminal, creating a shadow terminal phenomenon. This research aims to evaluate the facilities available at Entrop Type A Terminal in relation to the quality of services provided to users. This evaluation is important to identify facility and service deficiencies that cause users to be reluctant to use the terminal optimally. The research results are expected to provide recommendations for facility improvements and service quality enhancement at Entrop Terminal, so that it can function optimally as the main transportation hub and reduce the shadow terminal problems occurring in Jayapura City.
