This study aims to analyse the factors influencing the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Semarang City. Specifically, it examines the effects of accounting understanding, information technology utilisation, and MSME owners’ perceptions on SAK EMKM implementation, with SAK EMKM socialisation as a moderating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to 109 MSME actors selected through purposive sampling. Data were analysed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate relationships among variables. The results indicate that accounting understanding and MSME owners’ perceptions have a positive and significant effect on the implementation of SAK EMKM. Meanwhile, information technology utilisation shows a significant but suboptimal impact, as technology is still primarily used for operational purposes rather than for financial reporting. In addition, SAK EMKM socialisation does not significantly moderate the relationships between the independent variables and SAK EMKM implementation. The originality of this study lies in the inclusion of SAK EMKM socialisation as a moderating variable and the focus on MSMEs in Semarang City as the research context. This study contributes to the development of accounting practices for MSMEs by emphasising the importance of internal capacity building and more practical-oriented socialisation programs to improve the quality of financial reporting.

Education is a planned effort aimed at creating an effective learning environment where students can develop their potentials; it seeks to ensure that students become individuals who are confident, competent, independent, and responsible. Introducing students to the Qur'an is one of the ways to increase their faith. Education that includes Qur'an study has a very broad purpose, with its main goal being to influence the individual as a being who obeys their Creator and to reflect this through Islamic values. This study aims to evaluate the Tahfiz Qur'an program at SMA-TQ Mu'adz bin Jabal using the CIPP evaluation model. The research was conducted at SMA-TQ Mu'adz bin Jabal Kendari, using a qualitative descriptive method with the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, and Product). The reason the author uses the CIPP evaluation model to evaluate the Tahfiz Al-Quran program is because it provides relevance in the decision-making process related to the planning of the program being implemented.The data collection process was conducted using observation and interview techniques. The results of this study show that the Tahfidz Al-Quran program at SMA-TQ Mu'adz bin Jabal Kendari has made real progress or development in every component—context, input, process, and product. These range from human resources supporting the program to facilities that do not create much burden and do not require special funding. However, the collaboration between the school and the parents has not yet been effectively implemented; this is because not every parent is able to track their children’s progress in Quran memorization.

The Community Forestry Program (HKm) aims to empower communities around forest areas through sustainable forest management while improving local welfare. However, in Londerang Village, Kumpeh District, the program faces challenges, particularly regarding the limited attention from village government in managing the Bumi Indah Sejahtera Farmer Group Association (KTH). This study examines the role of village government in HKm governance using qualitative methods with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with village officials, KTH members, community representatives, and UPTD KPHP XIII Muaro Jambi, complemented by observation and document analysis. The findings reveal that village government plays four key roles based on Ryaas Rasyid's theory: as regulator through policy formulation and supervision, as dynamizer by encouraging community participation and resolving conflicts, as facilitator by providing access to permits and infrastructure, and as catalyst by initiating program development and innovation. However, coordination between village government and KTH remains suboptimal, limiting program effectiveness. This research contributes to understanding local governance in natural resource management and provides practical recommendations for strengthening village government capacity in implementing community-based forestry programs.

MSMEs Traditional culinary MSMEs play a vital role in the Indonesian economy through job creation, income equality, and preservation of local culture. However, limited capital, raw materials, and labor, as well as unsystematic production planning, mean that MSME production decisions are still intuitive, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal profits. A case study of MSME Sostang Tijang Bruno, a Sundanese cireng producer, shows that cireng production is still based on experience without clear calculations, resulting in a mismatch between production and demand and waste of raw materials. This study aims to optimize cireng production volume using the Graphical Linier Programming method to maximize profits by considering constraints on raw materials, working time, and market capacity. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The decision variables were the production volume of original chicken-filled cireng and spicy chicken-filled cireng. The analysis results showed an optimal production combination of 2.93 kg of original chicken-filled cireng and 0.53 kg of spicy chicken-filled cireng with a maximum profit of Rp499,000 per day. This method is expected to help MSMEs make more efficient and rational production decisions
