The financial sector plays an important role in promoting Indonesia's economic recovery. This study was conducted to determine the effect of credit to priority sectors on economic growth on the island of Sumatera. The data analysis technique used is dynamic panel data regression analysis with the system-GMM approach. The results of this study indicate that credit for the agricultural, forestry, and fishery sectors; manufacturing sector; the accommodation and food and drink provision sector can increase economic growth on the island of Sumatera, while the construction sector credit; wholesale and retail trade sector; and the transportation and warehousing sectors have a negative influence on economic growth. This shows that the credit of the banking sector has a positive and negative influence on economic growth on the island of Sumatera. Therefore, banks and the government are expected to increase financial literacy to the community and improve internet facilities, especially in rural areas.

The issue of income disparity among regions in the Southern Sumatra (Sumbagsel) area remains a relevant challenge in regional economic development. Regions with high industrial concentration and large populations do not necessarily exhibit equitable income distribution. This study aims to analyze the effect of industrial agglomeration and population size on income disparity in the Sumbagsel region during the 2015–2024 period, both partially and simultaneously, and to interpret the findings within the framework of Islamic economics. This research employs a quantitative approach with panel data analysis. The secondary data cover five provinces in the Sumbagsel region—South Sumatra, Lampung, Jambi, Bangka Belitung, and Bengkulu—over the period of 2015–2024. The data were analyzed using panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach through the EViews 10 software. The independent variables are industrial agglomeration and population size, while the dependent variable is income disparity. The findings reveal that, partially, industrial agglomeration has a negative and significant effect on income disparity, while population size has a negative but insignificant effect. Simultaneously, both variables have a significant influence on income disparity in the Sumbagsel region. From the Islamic economic perspective, these results align with the principles of maqasid syari’ah, particularly in preserving wealth (hifz al-mal) and promoting public welfare (maslahah ‘ammah).

The results indicate that liquidity has a negative and significant effect on stock returns, whereas firm size has a negative but not significant effect on stock returns.

Adolescent girls are the most vulnerable group to iron deficiency during growth and menstruation. An innovative snack product gyoza substituted with tuna and added moringa leaves can be developed to increase protein and iron content. This study aimed to determine the effect of tuna substitution and moringa leaf addition on sensory evaluation of gyoza’s color, aroma, texture, and taste as a snack for adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia. The research is a pure experimental research with a completely randomized design. The sensory test data collection technique was carried out on 35 untrained panelists. The 4 formulations developed, namely F1 (25g tuna substitution with the addition of 10g moringa leaves), F2 (50g tuna substitution with the addition of 10g moringa leaves), F3 (75g tuna substitution with the addition of 10g moringa leaves), and F4 (100g tuna substitution with the addition of 10g moringa leaves). Then it was analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test as a further test. The results of the four formulations showed that there was an effect of tuna substitution with the addition of moringa leaves on the texture and taste sensory test however, there was no effect of tuna substitution with the addition of moringa leaves on the color and aroma sensory test and the best product was obtained in F3. The results of the gyoza nutritional content test that was substituted with tuna and the addition of the best moringa leaves or F3 formula based on laboratory testing had a nutritional content of 11,25% protein and 0,022% iron per 100 grams of gyoza. It is hoped that further research will modify the amount of moringa leaves added to improve the organoleptic test of gyoza products by panelists and examine gyoza formulations for other nutritional content that has not been tested and economic value.

Similarly, North Maluku also recorded the highest regional expenditure growth (14.08%), while West Papua experienced the lowest (-17.24%), reflecting economic disparities across regions in Indonesia. (2) The regression analysis reveals that GRDP at constant prices and regional expenditure have a significant and positive effect on Third Party Funds, while the savings interest rate has a significant and negative effect. In contrast, inflation shows no significant effect on Third Party Funds.

This study discusses the judge’s considerations in rejecting a marriage annulment lawsuit due to coercion, as stated in the Religious Court Decision of Tanjung Karang Number: 1109/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Tnk. The lawsuit was filed by a wife who claimed she was forced into marriage due to threats from her parents, thus requesting an annulment based on Article 27 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. However, the panel of judges rejected the claim. This research aims to examine the legal reasoning behind the judge’s rejection of the annulment and the legal consequences resulting from the decision. The study employs a normative and empirical legal approach with a descriptive qualitative method, using primary legal materials such as legislation and court rulings, as well as secondary data from legal literature and interviews. The results show that the judges rejected the claim because the alleged coercion was not proven to constitute an unlawful threat as defined by law, and the marriage was conducted validly according to legal and religious provisions. The legal implication of this rejection is that the marriage remains valid and binding, and all legal rights and obligations between husband and wife continue to apply.

In the dynamic and competitive business environment, profitability has been recognized as a fundamental determinant of corporate sustainable growth. However, the complex relationship between profitability and sustainable growth, particularly through the mediating role of firm performance, remains understudied in emerging markets like Indonesia. This study examines the impact of profitability on corporate sustainable growth and investigates the mediating role of firm performance in this relationship among companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Using a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), this research analyses panel data from 112 companies listed on the IDX during 2018-2023, resulting in 672 observations. Profitability was measured using Return on Assets (ROA), sustainable growth using Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), and firm performance using Tobin's Q. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM to test both direct and mediating relationships. The findings reveal that profitability has a strong positive and significant impact on sustainable growth (β = 0.417, t = 9.328, p < 0.001), representing the highest path coefficient among all financial determinants examined. Firm performance significantly mediates the relationship between profitability and sustainable growth (indirect effect = 0.096, p < 0.001), indicating partial mediation. The model explains 47.9% of the variance in sustainable growth (R² = 0.479). Profitability emerges as the most critical financial determinant of sustainable growth in Indonesian listed companies. The study confirms that profitability influences sustainable growth both directly and indirectly through enhanced firm performance, providing dual pathways for growth enhancement. These findings have significant implications for corporate financial management and investment decision-making.

This study aims to analyze the application of criminal procedural law in resolving narcotics crime cases at the Binjai District Court, focusing on compliance with the due process of law principle and the protection of the defendant’s rights. The research employs an empirical juridical approach through direct observation (field research) of case Number 200/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Bnj involving the defendant Novri Syahputra, who was charged as an intermediary in the sale and purchase of Class I narcotics (methamphetamine) weighing 40.81 grams net. Data were collected through direct observation of the trial proceedings and examination of relevant legal documents, including the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) and Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics. The findings indicate that the implementation of procedural law at the Binjai District Court was consistent with the provisions of KUHAP, covering all stages from the reading of the indictment, witness examination, evidence presentation, to the final judgment. The panel of judges demonstrated professionalism and independence while considering both aggravating and mitigating factors. However, rehabilitative and humanistic approaches have not been fully incorporated into the court’s consideration, as the sentencing remains predominantly deterrent-oriented. The study concludes that, while the formal procedural aspects of criminal procedural law have been effectively implemented, there remains a substantive need to strengthen restorative and rehabilitative justice values in future narcotics case policies.

This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity, firm size, and capital structure on firm value in the banking sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. The background of this research lies in the crucial role of the banking sector in maintaining national economic stability and the need for investors to access financial information that accurately reflects a company’s value. Referring to signaling theory, financial reports are viewed as signals to investors regarding the firm’s prospects and performance. This study employs a quantitative method using secondary data from the annual financial reports of nine banks selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 45 observations. The independent variables include liquidity (Loan to Deposit Ratio), firm size (log of total assets), and capital structure (Debt to Equity Ratio), while the dependent variable is firm value measured by the Price to Book Value (PBV). Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with SPSS. The results show that firm size has a significant positive effect on firm value, while liquidity and capital structure have no significant impact. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly affect firm value, with an Adjusted R² of 0.493. These findings highlight that effective asset management and optimal funding policies are key to enhancing the firm value of banking institutions in Indonesia.

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value. The research sample was obtained using purposive sampling on mining firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2023 period, with a total of 102 observations. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression to test the proposed hypotheses. The results show that environmental disclosure has a significant positive effect on firm value, while social and governance disclosure have a significant negative effect. The theoretical implication of this study refers to agency theory, which asserts that information transparency through ESG can reduce information asymmetry between management and shareholders. However, if disclosure is carried out merely as a formality or symbolic practice, it may instead generate agency costs that are detrimental to the firm. In addition, these findings are also relevant to signaling theory, in which environmental disclosure can serve as a positive signal of a firm’s commitment to sustainability practices, thereby enhancing investor trust and strengthening the firm’s reputation. Practically, this study contributes to providing a more comprehensive understanding for firms, management, investors, and other stakeholders, while also serving as a reference for future research on ESG and firm value.

Enhancing the efficiency of renewable energy on ships is crucial for reducing dependency on fossil fuels. This research employs the Research and Development (R&D) method, aiming to design and implement a solar panel optimization system for battery charging, with a focus on increasing power efficiency and providing real-time performance monitoring. The system is designed using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to maximize the solar panel's power output. A 200Wp solar panel with dimensions of 1290 x 760 x 30 mm was utilized. Static testing results show that the deployed sensors possess a high degree of accuracy, with an average error of 0.71% for the temperature sensor and only 1.81% for the light sensor used to monitor environmental conditions. Dynamic and system integration tests prove that the MPPT implementation significantly increases power output efficiency by 30.83% compared to a system without MPPT. Furthermore, the system with MPPT charges the battery approximately 27% faster. Additionally, the developed Modbus protocol-based monitoring system enables comprehensive and remote monitoring of key parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and light intensity via a cloud database. Data communication reliability tests confirmed the system's capability to transmit entire data packets to a Google Sheets database at a periodic interval of 15 seconds without failure. Based on these results, the developed solar panel optimization system is feasible for implementation in maritime environments to enhance the utilization efficiency of renewable energy and the operational reliability of onboard systems.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the distribution of Zakat, Infak, and Sadaqah (ZIS) funds, economic growth, unemployment rate, and Regional Original Revenue (PAD) on the poverty rate in West Sumatra Province during the period 2020–2024. The data used are secondary data obtained from BAZNAS, BPS, and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK), covering 12 regencies/cities in West Sumatra Province. This study employs panel data regression analysis using EViews 12 software to examine the relationships among the variables. The results indicate that, partially, the distribution of ZIS funds and PAD have no significant effect on the poverty rate. In contrast, economic growth and unemployment rate have a negative and significant effect on the poverty rate. Simultaneously, all four independent variables are found to have a significant influence on the poverty rate. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R²) is 0.123, indicating that 12.30% of the variation in the poverty rate can be explained by the variables in the study, while the remaining 87.7% is influenced by factors outside the model. The study provides policy implications suggesting that optimizing ZIS management, promoting inclusive economic growth, expanding employment opportunities to reduce unemployment, and utilizing PAD more effectively are crucial strategies for local governments and relevant institutions to effectively reduce the poverty rate in West Sumatra.

This study aims to examine the effect of financial ratios on financial distress in transportation and logistics sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2024 period. The research employed a documentation method by collecting secondary data from the companies’ financial statements within the observed period. The financial ratios analyzed include profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activity. The level of financial distress was measured using the Altman Z-Score method. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, consisting of 22 companies observed over six years. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews 12, with the selected model being the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The partial test results indicate that profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activity ratios do not have a significant effect on financial distress. However, the simultaneous test results show that the four variables together significantly affect financial distress. These findings suggest that financial ratios cannot serve as a single indicator in assessing a company’s financial distress. Nevertheless, when used collectively and combined with the Altman Z-Score measurement, they can provide a more accurate assessment of a company’s financial distress condition.

This study aims to analyze the effect of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, economic growth, and world oil prices on stock returns in the transportation and logistics sector in Indonesia during the period 2006–2024. This sector was chosen because it is highly vulnerable to fluctuations in macroeconomic factors that have a direct impact on companies' operating costs and financial performance. The method used is multiple linear regression with an annual panel data approach, using a sample of transportation and logistics companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The independent variables include changes in interest rates, exchange rates, economic growth, and oil prices, while the dependent variable is stock returns. The results show that, partially, only changes in interest rates have a significant negative effect on stock returns. Conversely, exchange rates, economic growth, and oil prices have no statistically significant effect. Simultaneously, these four variables also show no significant effect on stock returns. This study makes a new contribution through the use of a long observation period and a focus on the transportation and logistics sector, thereby providing a deeper understanding of this sector's sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions.

High-rise buildings such as the World Trade Center Jakarta generally have high inductive electrical loads, so that their reactive power consumption is large and the power factor decreases below the SPLN standard (≤0.85), resulting in increased power losses and operational costs. This study aims to measure the power factor value before and after repairing the detuned reactor and capacitor on the capacitor bank panel, compare the results of field measurements with ETAP simulations, and assess the feasibility of the installed capacitor bank and determine the difference in the results of the ETAP simulation between measurements and load calculations on the World Trade Center building. The methods used include literature review, field observations on the LVMDP panel, MCC and capacitor bank, discussions with supervisors, data collection of current, voltage, kW, kVAR, kVA and cos φ using Lovato DCRG8 and ampere clamp, and load simulation using ETAP software. The results show that the cosφ value increased from 0.70 to 0.95 (an increase of 35.71%), the compensated reactive power reached 204 kVAR (Lovato), 282.6 kVAR (tang ampere), and 415 kVAR (ETAP simulation), with a power factor or cosφ = 0.95. In conclusion, the replacement of detuned reactors and capacitors effectively improves the power factor in the WTC Jakarta Building, reduces reactive loads, and the ETAP simulation results are consistent with field measurements, so that the capacitor bank installed in the WTC building is declared effective in reducing reactive currents, thereby reducing kVAR, kVA loads and improving the efficiency of the electrical system distribution for better energy management
