Abstrak. Kualitas ekonomi di negara-negara Asia dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor sosial, keamanan, dan lingkungan yang kompleks. Penelitian ini menggunakan Generalized Linear Models (GLM), yaitu regresi Poisson dan Binomial Negatif, untuk menganalisis hubungan antara variabel-variabel seperti Governance, Social Capital, Safety and Security, Living Conditions, Education, dan Natural Environment terhadap tingkat kualitas ekonomi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa model Poisson menghadapi keterbatasan karena adanya overdispersion, yang tercermin dari nilai AIC yang tidak terdefinisi dan residual deviance yang relatif tinggi. Sebaliknya, model Binomial Negatif lebih efektif dalam menangani data dengan variansi lebih besar dari rata-rata, menghasilkan nilai residual deviance yang lebih rendah dan AIC yang lebih baik. Dalam model Binomial Negatif, variabel Social Capital terbukti signifikan dengan koefisien yang menunjukkan pengaruh positif terhadap kualitas ekonomi. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa model Binomial Negatif lebih cocok untuk memodelkan data kualitas ekonomi di kawasan Asia, dengan Social Capital sebagai variabel yang paling berpengaruh, yang akan memberikan wawasan yang berguna bagi pengambilan kebijakan untuk meningkatkan kualitas ekonomi di kawasan ini.

Data and information play a strategic role in organizational systems theory, particularly in supporting fact-based decision-making processes. In this theory, organizations are viewed as open systems that continuously interact with their environments. Data serves as raw material that, through analysis, is transformed into actionable information to understand the internal and external dynamics of organizations. Accurate and relevant information helps organizations manage complexity, identify opportunities, and address challenges in ever-changing environments. The data management process encompasses collection, storage, analysis, and distribution, enabling integration across organizational units and enhancing synergy. Additionally, information-based feedback systems are vital for measuring organizational performance and driving continuous innovation. The effective use of data and information not only improves operational efficiency but also supports strategic planning and adaptation to market changes. In the context of digitalization, the role of data and information has become increasingly critical, as technology enables the processing of large-scale data more quickly and accurately. This article explores how data and information, as core components of organizational systems theory, can be utilized to create added value and support organizational sustainability in the modern era.

Indonesia is one of the world's main producers of cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii), but in the last five years, Indonesian cinnamon exports have decreased by around 10.13% per year. This decline is influenced by various factors that are closely related to competitiveness. As one of the plantation sub-sector commodities, cinnamon plays an important role in national economic development, especially in improving people's welfare. Cinnamon is used as an ingredient in food, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, and other industries. In addition to supporting income, this plant also contributes to environmental preservation, especially in river basins and conservation areas.Most of Indonesia's cinnamon exports come from areas such as Kerinci, West Sumatra, Central Java, and Yogyakarta, which are dominated by smallholder plantations. One of the MSMEs in Simarito Village, North Sumatra, is a cinnamon exporter with a capacity of 500-1000 tons per year. The success of this MSME is supported by the implementation of an effective STP (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning) marketing strategy, product innovation, and a focus on quality and customer satisfaction. In an increasingly competitive market, developing marketing strategies and improving quality are the main keys to maintaining the sustainability of Indonesian cinnamon exports.

This study explores the evolution of Islamic economic thought from its classical roots to contemporary interpretations, highlighting significant paradigm shifts and the contributions of influential figures throughout its history. During the classical era, Islamic economic thought drew heavily from the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith, as interpreted by scholars such as Abu Yusuf, al-Ghazali, and Ibn Khaldun. At the heart of this thinking are the principles of social justice, the prohibition of usury, and the need for a fair distribution of wealth. Recently, there have been important updates in Islamic economic thought, shaped by the global socio-economic context and the imperative to address modern economic problems. Key figures such as Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr and Umar Chapra have played an important role in developing a more relevant Islamic economic theory, combining concepts such as Islamic banking, macroeconomics, and entrepreneurship based on Islamic ethics.

In the increasingly competitive Industry 4.0 era, companies need to forecast product demand to meet consumer needs and improve operational efficiency. CV Mamifood Sukses Abadi, an MSME that produces milk and cheese-based foods, has faced sales fluctuations in the last two years, thus requiring accurate forecasting to plan production strategies and resource management. This research aims to forecast demand using the Fuzzy Mamdani method and the POM-QM application. Fuzzy Mamdani was chosen for its ability to handle decision-making with multiple criteria and balanced weights, while POM-QM was used to validate predictions through quantitative methods. Product sales data for the years 2022 and 2023 were analyzed to produce accurate forecasts. The methods used include Moving Average for forecasting and evaluation of the results using MAPE. The analysis results show that the Moving Average method with N = 2 produces a MAD value of 402.523 and a MAPE of 22.155%, while the results of Fuzzy Mamdani show that product demand in the next period tends to decrease. This research is expected to provide insight for CV Mamifood Sukses Abadi in planning a more efficient production strategy.

This study aims to analyze the quality of service in the Culinary Arts Practical Laboratory at SMK Ibu Pertiwi 1 using the Service Quality (Servqual) method. Service quality is an important element in supporting the success of the education process, especially in the Culinary Arts expertise program that requires laboratory facilities as a means of practical learning.

The results of the study showed a gap in several dimensions of service quality, especially in the tangibles dimension which includes the completeness and condition of laboratory facilities. In addition, the responsiveness and reliability dimensions are also of concern because students feel that the response to complaints and service consistency are not optimal.From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the quality of laboratory services needs to be improved to meet student expectations. Recommendations for improvement include improving physical facilities, training for laboratory staff to improve responsiveness and reliability, and strengthening security assurance in the practical learning process. This study contributes to school management in creating a more effective and quality learning environment.

The growth of Indonesia's cattle population and productivity, and the factors contributing to these changes. Government policies, livestock health conditions and a shortage of quality feed have transformed Indonesia's cattle sector in recent years. Although the Special Effort for Mandatory Breeding Cattle (Upsus Siwab) programme has resulted in an increase in the cattle population, the implementation of this programme is still uneven across the country. In contrast, Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreaks and feed limitation issues are major constraints to increasing productivity. As the results show, regions that have better access to artificial insemination technology and high-quality feed have better results compared to other regions. To achieve sustainable cattle growth in Indonesia, more equitable policies, strengthened animal health systems, and improved feed distribution and quality are needed.
