This study describes the fluctuating exports and imports over the past five years, from 2020 to 2024, which also influenced fluctuations in Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of exports and imports on Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves from 2020 to 2024. The research method is quantitative using secondary data obtained from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. The population in this study was 5 years from 2020 to 2024. Data analysis used classical assumption tests consisting of normality tests, multicollinearity tests, and heteroscedasticity tests. In addition, hypothesis tests were also used, consisting of partial tests, simultaneous tests, and coefficient of determination tests. The results of this study indicate that the export variable has a negative effect on Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves from 2020 to 2024. The import variable has a positive effect on Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves from 2020 to 2024. Export and import variables do not simultaneously affect Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves from 2020 to 2024. The implication of this research is that the government needs to manage export and import policies more effectively, as they do not always have the theoretical impact on foreign exchange reserves. Improvements in export quality and import controls are needed, as well as consideration of other factors such as foreign investment and economic policies to maintain the stability of foreign exchange reserves.

This study aims to examine the role of financial literacy, risk perception, and financial attitudes in influencing investment decisions of accounting students at private universities in Surakarta. A quantitative approach was applied by distributing online questionnaires to 88 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The collected data were analyzed using several statistical procedures, including validity and reliability testing, followed by classical assumption tests and multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationships between variables. The findings reveal that financial literacy does not play a significant role in shaping students’ investment decisions. In contrast, risk perception and financial attitude demonstrate a positive and significant influence. These results suggest that students tend to rely more on their understanding of potential risks and their financial behavior when making investment decisions, rather than solely on their level of financial knowledge

This study examines the relationship between the Human Development Index (HDI) and population size with economic growth in North Sumatra Province during 2010-2025 using multiple linear regression based on secondary data. The results indicate that both variables are jointly associated within the model, although they show different directions when observed individually. Population size tends to move in line with economic growth, while HDI shows an opposite tendency. These findings suggest that improvements in human capital have not yet been fully reflected in productive economic activities in the region.

Breast cancer is a serious health problem among women, with incidence and mortality rates that continue to rise. The disease is often detected at an advanced stage due to low levels of awareness, knowledge, and skills related to early detection. Among adolescent girls, particularly high school students, knowledge and skills regarding Breast Self-Examination (BSE) remain limited. This is largely due to restricted access to health information, a lack of targeted educational initiatives, and learning methods that are insufficiently engaging. BSE is a simple and effective early detection method that can be performed independently beginning in adolescence. Video-based education is considered an effective tool for enhancing adolescents’ understanding. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of video-based education in improving knowledge and BSE skills among Grade XI female students at MAN (State Islamic Senior High School) 2 Yogyakarta. This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The study population consisted of all Grade XI female students at MAN 2 Yogyakarta, with a sample of 59 students selected through purposive sampling on predetermined inclusion criteria. The intervention involved a single session of a BSE educational video lasting approximately seven minutes. It was conducted in 15 groups, with each group accompanied by one facilitator. Data were analyzed using the nonparametric Wilcoxon statistical test. The Wilcoxon test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) for both knowledge and skills variables, indicating a statistically significant improvement between the pre-test and post-test scores. In conclusion, video-based education was proven effective in improving knowledge and BSE skills among Grade XI female students at MAN 2 Yogyakarta. Future researchers are encouraged to assess BSE skills using a structured checklist based on standardized evaluation criteria.  

The rapid growth of e-commerce and social commerce in Indonesia has shifted consumer behavior in seeking information prior to making purchase decisions, particularly through electronic word of mouth (e-WOM). This phenomenon poses a challenge for local fashion brands such as Hamata Studios, which has relatively low digital visibility despite having favorable product ratings. This study aims to analyze the effect of e-WOM on purchase intention with brand trust as a mediating variable based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory. This research employs a quantitative approach with an associative research design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents who are familiar with or have interacted with Hamata Studios, using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling method. Data analysis techniques include descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using path analysis, as well as mediation testing using the Sobel test and Variance Accounted For (VAF). The results indicate that e-WOM has a positive and significant effect on both purchase intention and brand trust. Furthermore, brand trust has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. Mediation testing reveals that brand trust significantly mediates the relationship between e-WOM and purchase intention. In conclusion, positive e-WOM can enhance brand trust, which in turn increases consumers’ purchase intention.

In the current digital era, public services are increasingly being transformed through technology, including tax administration systems. One of the major innovations implemented by the Indonesian government is the Core Tax System, an integrated tax administration system designed to improve service efficiency, data integration, and taxpayer compliance monitoring. This study aims to analyze the effect of Core Tax System implementation on taxpayer compliance in Indonesia. The research adopts a quantitative approach using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to taxpayers. The collected data were tested using validity and reliability tests and analyzed through descriptive statistics and significance testing to examine the relationship between the research variables. The results indicate that the implementation of the Core Tax System has a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance, both partially and simultaneously. These findings suggest that tax system digitalization can serve as an important instrument in improving taxpayer compliance in Indonesia.

This study examines the effectiveness of urban city parks as a form of Urban Green Open Space (UGOS) in Jayapura City, focusing on Imbi Park (2,347.20 m²) and Mesran Park (2,122.88 m²). A mixed-methods approach combined direct observation of six park characteristics with a questionnaire-based rating-scale assessment of nineteen functional variables covering socio-cultural, aesthetic, and economic functions. Data were collected from 100 visitors and 31 street vendors, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and scoring analysis in accordance with Minister of Public Works Regulation No. 05/PRT/M/2008. Both parks share three dominant functions socio-cultural, aesthetic, and economic while the ecological function is present but not dominant. For Imbi Park, the socio-cultural function was moderately effective (1.8–2.0), aesthetic moderately effective to effective (2.4–2.6), and economic moderately effective (1.8–1.9). For Mesran Park, socio-cultural and aesthetic functions were moderately effective (1.8–2.2), while the economic function was ineffective (1.6). The main weaknesses across both parks are the unavailability of security posts and limited diversity of park-produce-based economic activities. The study recommends developing supporting facilities and a park-profile web portal to improve effectiveness and information accessibility.

The purpose of this study was to determine the direct effect of personality characteristics and intellectual abilities on employee performance in the digital era and competence, the effect of competence on performance, and the indirect effect of personality variables and intellectual abilities on employee performance in the digital era through competence as an intervening variable in BPSDM Jambi Province. The type of research used is quantitative research with primary and secondary data. Sampling used a simple random sampling technique so that 65 employees were selected as respondents. Data collection used a questionnaire and data analysis used Smart PLS. The results of the analysis showed that personality characteristics directly affect performance and competence with a significance value of P <0.05, intellectual abilities do not affect performance and competence with a significance value of P>0.05, and competence does not affect the performance of BPSDM Jambi Province employees in the digital era with a significance value of P>0.05. Furthermore, the direct effect shows that employee competence does not mediate the influence of personality characteristics and intellectual abilities on employee performance. This shows that personality characteristics and intellectual abilities do not affect performance through employee competence as an intervening variable.

The advancement of digital technology has encouraged e-commerce platforms to adopt interactive features such as Virtual Try-On to enhance a more visual and personalized shopping experience. This feature allows consumers to virtually try products, thereby assisting in product evaluation prior to purchase decisions. This study aims to analyze the effect of experiential value on customer engagement behavior, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach through a survey of 150 respondents in Indonesia who have used Virtual Try-On, using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results indicate that experiential value has a positive and significant effect on both customer satisfaction and customer engagement behavior. Furthermore, customer satisfaction also has a positive effect on customer engagement behavior and partially mediates the relationship between experiential value and customer engagement behavior. These findings suggest that valuable technology-driven experiences can enhance customer satisfaction and encourage more active consumer engagement. This study contributes theoretically to the literature on digital consumer behavior and offers practical implications for e-commerce platforms in optimizing Virtual Try-On features.

Thalassemia is a chronic genetic disease that requires long-term treatment and affects children's quality of life physically, psychologically, socially, and academically due to chronic anemia and regular blood transfusion needs. This study aimed to determine factors influencing the quality of life of children with thalassemia at Rumah Sakit Anak dan Bunda Harapan Kita. A descriptive design with a cross sectional approach was used, involving 41 respondents through total sampling. Data were collected using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scale) and respondent characteristics including age, gender, socioeconomic status, parental education, and frequency of blood transfusions. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results showed most respondents were under ten years old, female, from families with socioeconomic status below the minimum wage, had parents with high school or higher education, and received blood transfusions every three weeks. Bivariate analysis indicated only the frequency of blood transfusions was significantly associated with quality of life, while other variables were not. Thus, transfusion frequency is the main factor influencing quality of life in children with thalassemia.

This quantitative study, involving 135 respondents, aims to analyze the influence of work efficiency and income on the welfare level of members of the Women Farmer Group (KWT) in X Koto Singkarak Sub-district. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression, t-tests, and F-tests to determine both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on welfare. The results of the t-test reveal that work efficiency (X1) does not have a significant partial effect on the welfare of KWT members (Y), as indicated by a t-value of -1.817, which is lower than the t-table value of 1.977, and a significance level of 0.071, which exceeds 0.05. Conversely, income (X2) demonstrates a strong and significant partial effect on welfare, supported by a significance value of 0.000, which is lower than 0.05, and a t-value of 13.561, which is higher than the t-table value of 1.977. Furthermore, the simultaneous F-test confirms that work efficiency and income collectively have a significant effect on the welfare level of KWT members, with an F-value of 98.319 exceeding the F-table value of 19.490 and a significance level of 0.000. These findings indicate that increasing income plays an important role in improving welfare.

This study examines the impact of carbon emission disclosure, eco-efficiency, and green innovation on firm value among energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2022-2024. Using purposive sampling, 26 companies were selected based on specific criteria, resulting in 78 observations over the three-year period. The research employs panel data regression analysis with fixed effect model, using Tobin's Q as the proxy for firm value. Carbon emission disclosure is measured using the CDP framework with 18 disclosure items, eco-efficiency is assessed through ISO 14001 certification ownership, and green innovation is evaluated using four indicators based on the OECD framework. The results reveal that green innovation has a significant positive effect on firm value, indicating that Indonesian capital market investors place premium valuations on companies investing in environmental innovation. However, carbon emission and eco-efficiency show no significant impact on firm value. These findings suggest that while sustainability disclosure remains voluntary in Indonesia and lacks standardized frameworks, market participants are more responsive to tangible innovations that demonstrate competitive advantages and regulatory risk mitigation. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly influence firm value, confirming the relevance of comprehensive sustainability practices in value creation.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work environment and work motivation on the performance of outsourced employees at PT Kinarya Selaras Piranti. Phenomena in the field show the challenges of supervisory dualism and operational constraints, such as a difficult reimbursement system, which is suspected to affect productivity. The research method used was a quantitative approach with a saturated sampling technique (census) of 87 respondents. Data were collected through a digital questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression through SPSS software. The results of the study showed that partially, the work environment had a positive and significant effect on employee performance (Sig. < 0.001). Similarly, work motivation has a positive and partially significant influence (Sig. < 0.001). Simultaneously, these two variables have a significant effect on performance with a determination coefficient value (R2) of 92.7%. This indicates that optimizing physical and non-physical conditions and meeting the psychological needs of employees are crucial factors in increasing work effectiveness in the outsourcing services sector.

This study examines how environmental, social, and governance issues shape the impact of financial success on firm value. To understand the link between the variables, the legitimacy theory and signal theory are employed. The population used includes non-financial enterprises from 2019–2023 that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and are part of the Refinitiv database. Secondary data was gathered from the Indonesia Stock Exchange, official corporate websites, and the Refinitiv database in the form of sustainability reports, annual reports, and ESG scores. The sample size is 176 company data points over 5 years, selected using the purposive sampling method. Firm value is positively and significantly impacted by financial success, according to the research findings. ESG also improves the link between firm value and financial performance, according to the study. Lastly, the study's results also show that ESG increases business value, while not significantly. These findings suggest that the study's ESG variable is a pure moderator variable. Furthermore, the implications of the research both theoretically and practically have been discussed.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work discipline, professionalism, and organizational culture on organizational commitment among employees in the Public Service Sector. Organizational commitment is an important factor that reflects employee loyalty and attachment to the institution, while the three independent variables are considered as internal factors that can strengthen this commitment. The method used in this study is associative quantitative with a multiple linear regression approach. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires to 46 respondents based on probability sampling techniques. Data processing and analysis in this study used SPSS software version 27. Based on the results of the study, it was found that there is a significant influence of work discipline on organizational commitment. In addition, professionalism has a significant effect on organizational commitment, organizational culture has a significant effect on organizational commitment. Based on simultaneous hypothesis testing, it is proven that work discipline, organizational culture, and professionalism jointly influence organizational commitment. While the amount of contribution is 54% to organizational commitment, while the remaining 46% of organizational commitment is influenced by other factors such as leadership style, motivation, competence, rewards, job satisfaction, and employee performance. Thus, this study confirms that to increase organizational commitment, government agencies need to strengthen a healthy work culture, enforce discipline, and encourage a professional attitude in the work environment.

The digital era has fundamentally transformed the market landscape, requiring e-commerce platforms to understand the determinants of consumer behavior. This study aims to analyze the role of E-commerce Trust as a mediating variable in the relationship between Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, and Perceived Enjoyment on Purchase Intention. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 326 active users of the Lazada platform in Central Java. Data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results show that the three main factors ease, usefulness, and enjoyment have a positive and significant influence on Brand Trust and consumer Purchase Intention directly. Furthermore, it was found that E-commerce Trust acts as a crucial mediator that strengthens Purchase Intention through positive user experience. Theoretically, this study strengthens the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework and the context of Cross-Border E-commerce (CBEC) in the digital retail industry. Practically, these findings emphasize the importance of optimizing platform features to enhance transaction convenience and security and build long-term loyalty. The research's implications suggest that platform managers should focus on both aesthetics and functionality to create a credible and enjoyable digital shopping ecosystem for consumers in developing regions.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between salaries, allowances, and employee productivity on company profitability. Human resources are an important factor in determining organizational success because employee quality and performance directly influence the achievement of company goals. Providing appropriate compensation, including salaries and allowances, can increase employee motivation, job satisfaction, and loyalty, thereby encouraging higher work productivity. High productivity reflects the company’s ability to utilize resources effectively and efficiently in order to produce optimal output. In addition, employee turnover is an important aspect that must be considered because it may affect operational stability and the company’s effectiveness in achieving business targets. Profitability is used as the main indicator to assess the company’s ability to generate profits from its operational activities. This study applies a quantitative method with an approach that examines the relationships among variables to obtain an overview of the influence of compensation and productivity on company profitability. The results of this study are expected to provide insights and recommendations for companies in managing human resources more effectively in order to improve financial performance sustainably.

This study examines the effect of capital structure, dividend policy, and firm size on firm value at PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk during the period 2014–2024. The company’s firm value has shown fluctuations and a declining trend despite an increase in total assets, indicating a mismatch between asset growth and market perception. This study aims to analyze the influence of internal financial factors on firm value, both partially and simultaneously. A quantitative approach is employed using secondary data obtained from the company’s annual financial statements. Capital structure is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), dividend policy using the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), firm size using the natural logarithm of total assets, and firm value using Tobin’s Q. Data are analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS, supported by classical assumption tests, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that partially, capital structure and dividend policy do not have a significant effect on firm value, while firm size has a significant effect. Simultaneously, all independent variables have a significant effect on firm value. The findings indicate that firm size plays a dominant role, while other factors may also influence firm value beyond the model.

Anxiety disorders are common mental health problems among adolescents, particularly high school students who face academic demands, social pressure, and emotional changes. Family support, sleep quality, and academic stress are considered factors related to students’ anxiety levels. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family support, sleep quality, academic stress, and anxiety disorders among students of SMAN 1 Sumbawa Besar. An analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 114 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Perceived Social Support–Family (PSS-Fa), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Educational Stress Scale for Adolescence (ESSA), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis employed binary logistic regression. Bivariate results indicated significant associations between family support, sleep quality, academic stress, and anxiety disorders (p < 0.05). However, multivariate analysis revealed that only family support and sleep quality were significantly associated with anxiety disorders, while academic stress was not significant after controlling for other variables. These findings suggest that anxiety prevention efforts should prioritize strengthening family support and improving sleep quality, alongside academic stress management within the school environment.

This study aims to examine the influence of inventory intensity, executive compensation, and sales growth on tax avoidance in non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This type of research is quantitative research using secondary data during the period 2020–2024. The sampling method used was purposive sampling, and the sample obtained consisted of 7 companies with 35 observation data points. Data processing was carried out using the E-Views 12 statistical program. Based on the results of this study, inventory intensity, executive compensation, and sales growth simultaneously affect tax avoidance. Partially, only executive compensation has an effect on tax avoidance, while inventory intensity and sales growth have no effect on tax avoidance. This study contributes to the development of accounting and taxation literature, particularly regarding the factors influencing corporate tax avoidance practices in the non-cyclical consumer sector. The findings indicate that executive compensation plays an important role in influencing managerial decisions related to tax avoidance, whereas inventory intensity and sales growth do not significantly determine tax avoidance practices individually. Therefore, companies are expected to improve governance and transparency in executive compensation policies to minimize opportunistic actions related to tax management. In addition, future researchers are encouraged to expand the research variables and increase the number of samples in order to obtain more comprehensive results regarding the determinants of tax avoidance.
