This community service program was designed to enhance the inventory management skills of santri at Pesantren Assyifa through the use of spreadsheet technology. Many pesantren-based business units still rely on manual inventory methods, leading to inefficiencies, stock errors, and operational delays. To address this issue, a structured training program was conducted involving 25 selected santri actively engaged in the pesantren’s economic units. The program consisted of three interactive sessions covering basic inventory concepts, spreadsheet functions, and hands-on design of inventory tracking systems. Using tools like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, participants were guided to create real-time stock records, calculate inventory movement, and generate reports. The success of the training was measured through pre- and post-tests, spreadsheet project submissions, and participant feedback surveys. The results showed a 68% average increase in test scores, a 96% project completion rate, and a 4.6/5 satisfaction score. Additionally, 84% of participants applied the system directly within pesantren business units. Feedback from participants indicated high engagement, practical usefulness, and a strong desire for follow-up training. This initiative demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating digital tools into pesantren education, contributing to the development of digitally literate and economically empowered santri.

The formation of new lexical items through the combination of two or more lexemes is referred to as compounding, a significant process within the field of morphology. As noted by O’Grady (1996), compound words are typically categorized into two types: endocentric and exocentric compounds. Katamba (1994:320) emphasizes that endocentric compounds exhibit greater productivity compared to their exocentric counterparts. This study aims to examine the morphological structures of endocentric compound words found in a specific object—namely, the speech text School Strike for Climate. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method, the research analyzes and interprets the semantic classification of the identified compounds. The speech transcript reveals 26 occurrences of endocentric compounds, all of which function as compound nouns and consist of nominal components.

This study discusses the impact of plastic waste imports from the Netherlands on environmental security in Indonesia. The practice of cross-border waste trade has become a sensitive issue in international relations, especially when developing countries such as Indonesia receive an abundance of waste from developed countries. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through documentation and literature studies. The analysis focuses on regulations, dynamics of the recycling industry, and the ecological impact of incoming waste. The results show that most of the imported plastic waste cannot be processed safely and contains hazardous contaminants such as microplastics and heavy metals. This waste pollutes the soil, rivers, and seas, and enters the food chain through marine fish consumed by the community, thus threatening food security and public health. The state's response, although it has included re-export steps and policy revisions, is still weak in terms of supervision and law enforcement. In conclusion, plastic waste imports are a form of non-traditional threat to Indonesia's environmental security that requires stronger structural, diplomatic, and institutional responses.

CV Mitra Grafika is a printing company where warehouse inventory management is still conducted manually, often resulting in data entry errors and delayed item distribution.

The development methodology used is the waterfall model, consisting of requirements analysis, design, implementation, and testing. The system includes key features such as item data management, warehouse transactions, reporting, and user role-based access (admin, staff, manager, director). The results indicate that the system successfully improves warehouse operational efficiency, accuracy, and structure.

This study aims to analyze price elasticity and income elasticity of products by integrating perspectives from conventional economics and Islamic microeconomics. In conventional economics, price and income elasticity are used to understand consumer demand sensitivity to changes in price and income. Meanwhile, Islamic microeconomics adds an ethical dimension, such as the prohibition of israf (wastefulness) and the importance of balanced consumption. The findings indicate that elasticity analysis is crucial not only for business strategies and economic policies but also must incorporate Islamic economic principles to promote sustainable and ethical consumption. This study suggests that integrating Islamic microeconomic values in elasticity analysis can enrich the understanding of consumer behavior and foster more inclusive economic policies.

The tight competition in the premium smartphone industry requires companies to understand the factors that influence brand loyalty. iPhone is one of the products that remains in demand despite its relatively high price, indicating the important role of customer experience and perceived quality. This study aims to examine the effect of customer experience, perceived quality, and price on brand loyalty with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable. This research approach is quantitative with a survey method of 100 iPhone user respondents in Semarang City. Data analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique with the help of the SmartPLS application. The results of the study indicate that customer experience, perceived quality, and price have a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. Furthermore, customer experience, perceived quality, and price do not affect brand loyalty. However, customer satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on brand loyalty. Then, customer satisfaction is able to mediate the relationship between customer experience and brand loyalty. However, customer satisfaction is unable to mediate the relationship between perceived quality and price on brand loyalty. The practical implication of these results is the importance of companies to focus on improving customer experience, product quality, and pricing strategies in order to strengthen their brand position in a competitive market.

This study emphasizes the importance of government intervention in the form of education and assistance so that business actors can more easily access the halal certification process efficiently and affordably.

There is a large correlation between its economic development and a country’s capital market. The capital market connects individuals with potential investments and helps businesses obtain the necessary financing. The way investors view a company’s growth potential is reflected in its stock valuation. Stock price fluctuations are influenced by several factors, including effective Good Corporate Governance (GCG), capital structure, and financial performance. By examining the impact of GCG, financial performance, and capital structure, this study aims to provide clearer guidelines on how companies in the financial sector of the IDX can influence stock prices from 2020 to 2024. The quantitative method used is multiple linear regression analysis. The study found that stock values ​​were significantly influenced by these three factors, both separately and when combined. These three variables explain a quarter of the variance in stock prices (measured by the Adjusted R² value of 0.256), while the remaining variation is due to variables outside this study. Whether you are an investor or a business leader, these findings can help you make better financial and governance choices and will pave the way for further research.
