This study examines how solvency, profitability, liquidity, and operating costs are affected by book-tax differences (BTD) among property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2022 to 2024. One key indicator of financial reporting transparency is BTD, which reflects the difference between accounting and taxable income. This is particularly relevant for the property sector, which contributes Rp185 trillion to national tax revenue. The results of the study, conducted using the Random Effects Model panel data regression method with 93 observations from 31 companies, show that solvency (DER) has a significant effect on BTD, while profitability (ROA) also has a significant effect, indicating that companies with high profits tend to engage in more aggressive tax planning practices and financial reporting strategies. On the other hand, liquidity and operating costs do not have a significant impact on corporate tax reporting behavior. 98% of the variation in BTD can be explained by the model.

Mergers and acquisitions have served as a primary strategy for global banking consolidation over the past three decades, including in Indonesia, which is currently undergoing one of its most massive consolidation waves—one notable example being the emergence of Bank Syariah Indonesia. This article aims to provide a narrative review of the literature on the operational impacts of mergers on bank performance, with a particular focus on implications for the Indonesian context. Based on a systematic search of the Scopus database, 52 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2025 were analyzed using a narrative thematic synthesis approach. Five main themes were identified: cost efficiency, service quality, risk management, human resource and cultural integration, and information systems and technology integration. The key findings indicate that although 73.1% of studies report post-merger improvements in cost efficiency, these benefits are highly contingent upon the quality of post-merger integration especially in the areas of human resources, organizational culture, and information technology with IT integration failure rates reaching as high as 75%. Domestic mergers consistently achieve efficiency gains more rapidly than cross-border mergers, whereas risk implications depend heavily on the type of merger and the quality of integration. Policy implications include the need for the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan) to monitor post-merger integration quality, provide integration guidelines for smaller banks, take into account the specific characteristics of Islamic banks, and ensure a streamlined, non-burdensome licensing process. Further research particularly empirical studies on banking mergers in Indonesia—is urgently needed to test the generalizability of global findings to the local context.

Indonesia's increasing economic growth has intensified competition in the business world, particularly in the Indonesian banking sector, from conventional to sharia-compliant. Furthermore, the entry of foreign banks has made business activities in Indonesia increasingly complex. The stock market is a crucial source of funding for companies. Publicly listed companies can increase their funding sources by selling ownership in the capital market. Dividends are the distribution of company earnings to shareholders in the form of cash, assets, or other forms. Dividend policy is a policy for sharing company profits with shareholders, which is announced in the form of dividends and retained earnings for the benefit of company growth. The proportion of dividends distributed to shareholders depends on the company's profitability and dividend policy. The percentage of profits distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends is called the Dividend Payout Ratio.Differences in calculations in determining financial ratios in banking companies are an interesting focus in this study. The study results show quite significant results between financial ratios and managers' decisions in making dividend policy decisions. In the future, the results of this study are expected to be a consideration and reference for investors who want to enter the world of investment, especially in the banking sector.

Low-rank coal generally has a high moisture content, which results in a low calorific value and suboptimal quality for utilization as an energy source. One method that can be applied to improve coal quality is the Upgrading Brown Coal (UBC) process, which functions to reduce moisture content and increase fixed carbon value. This study aims to analyze the effect of heating time and the ratio of used oil composition on improving coal quality based on proximate parameters. The research method includes collecting coal samples from four locations in Samarinda and its surrounding areas, namely SMAN 1 Samarinda, Bhineka Street, Palaran Stadium, and Tani Bakti Village. The samples were analyzed using proximate analysis, including inherent moisture (IM), ash content (AC), volatile matter (VM), and fixed carbon (FC), both before and after the UBC process. The upgrading process was carried out with variations in heating time and used oil composition as a coating medium to enhance coal stability and prevent moisture reabsorption. The final results of the upgrading process showed the best values of inherent moisture at 13.64%, ash content at 4.66%, volatile matter at 55.06%, and fixed carbon at 44.94%. The results indicate that the UBC process is capable of reducing inherent moisture and increasing fixed carbon, thereby improving coal quality. Variations in heating time and used oil composition have a significant effect on changes in proximate parameters. Longer heating time and an appropriate ratio of used oil composition result in a more optimal improvement in coal quality.

Tiku Beach in Tanjung Mutiara District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra is a 12.77 km coastal area experiencing continuous shoreline changes due to abrasion and accretion. This study aims to identify and map shoreline changes and calculate the area of abrasion and accretion in 2014, 2019, and 2024 using the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) method based on Landsat 8 OLI satellite imagery. The MNDWI method utilizes the reflectance difference in the Green band (Band 3) and SWIR band (Band 6) to automatically separate the land-water boundary. Shoreline change analysis was performed using Net Shoreline Movement (NSM) and End Point Rate (EPR) methods through ArcGIS 10.8 software with the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) extension. Analysis of 336 transects shows that accretion is more dominant than abrasion along Tiku Beach. The largest accretion was recorded at transect 230 with an NSM value of 71.3 m and an EPR rate of 7.12 m/year, while extreme abrasion occurred at transect 249 with an NSM value of -121.67 m and an EPR rate of -12.15 m/year. The evolution of the shoreline shows that in 2014 the coastline was still relatively stable, then in 2019 mild abrasion occurred in the west along with accretion in the east, and by 2024 this pattern became more pronounced. The results of this study are expected to serve as a scientific basis for decision-making in coastal disaster mitigation planning and sustainable coastal management in Agam Regency.

The Indonesian capital market has become a vital pillar of the national economy, providing opportunities for companies to obtain funding while simultaneously providing an investment vehicle for the wider community. In this context, stocks are the most sought-after instrument due to the potential returns they offer. However, stock investment is constantly faced with uncertainty, with fluctuating stock prices often presenting challenges for investors, especially those without a thorough understanding of the company's fundamental performance. An interesting phenomenon, the starting point of this research, is the quite extreme price movements of BIPI shares over the past decade. From 2015 to 2021, BIPI's share price remained stagnant at Rp 50 per share, a condition often referred to by market participants as "gocap" (goat capit). This condition reflects low investor interest in the company's shares, possibly due to high risk perceptions or unconvincing fundamental performance.

This study aims to examine the level of regional financial independence and various financial ratios in assessing the performance of regency and city governments in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) for the 2019–2024 period. The method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data in the form of Budget Realization Reports (LRA). Performance measurement was conducted through several key indicators, including independence, effectiveness, efficiency, and growth ratios. The results indicate that the level of fiscal independence remains relatively low, characterized by a high dependency on transfer funds from the central government. On the other hand, the effectiveness ratio shows good achievement, as most regions were able to meet their revenue targets, particularly from Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD). However, the efficiency of expenditure management remains uneven across regions. Furthermore, the revenue growth ratio shows fluctuations influenced by economic conditions, including the impact of the pandemic. Overall, regional financial performance still needs to be improved, especially in strengthening fiscal independence and optimizing PAD potential.

This study aims to critically analyze the determination of the Tax Base (Dasar Pengenaan Pajak/DPP) in the withholding tax mechanism under Article 23 of the Indonesian Income Tax Law for freight forwarding services at PT MPX Indonesia. The research focuses on evaluating the implementation of the “All-In” billing model, where all operational costs are consolidated into a single gross invoice amount and treated as the taxable base. This approach raises concerns regarding its compliance with applicable tax regulations, particularly in distinguishing between service fees and reimbursable expenses. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method using a case study approach. Data are collected through documentation analysis of transaction records, including invoices and Unified Income Tax withholding receipts. The findings are expected to provide insights into the appropriateness of the applied tax base determination method and its implications for tax compliance and efficiency within the company’s operational practices and financial reporting system.

The Megengan tradition is a Javanese ritual performed before the month of Ramadan as a form of spiritual preparation, strengthening social solidarity, and maintaining relationships with ancestors. However, the development of modernization, urbanization, educational advancement, and changes in mindset have caused this tradition to experience a significant shift in meaning. This study aims to describe the changes in function, meaning, and position of Megengan in modern society using Max Weber's modernization theory as an analytical framework. The research method used is a literature study from various journals, cultural documents, and previous research related to the Megengan tradition in various regions of Java. The results show that Megengan has undergone a transformation from a sacred ritual full of cosmological symbols to a more functional and efficient socio-cultural activity. The process of rationalization in modern society has caused the spiritual and symbolic meaning of ritual foods such as apem, ketan, and ingkung to be reduced, while the form of ritual implementation has become more formal and centered on religious institutions. The change in ritual authority from elders to modern religious figures is one indication of the shift from traditional authority to rational-formal authority as explained by Weber.  Despite the simplification of its meaning, Megengan remains a living tradition that serves to strengthen cultural identity, social harmony, and intergenerational relationships. This research confirms that the shift in Megengan does not indicate a weakening of Javanese tradition, but rather a form of cultural adaptation in response to the dynamics of modernity.

The retail industry is currently facing increasingly intense competition, requiring optimal supply chain efficiency. Warehouses play a strategic role in controlling inventory flows and supporting a company’s operational performance. At K3Mart, stock shortages are still frequently found, caused by low supplier compliance with Service Level Agreements (SLA) and delays in delivery schedules, which negatively affect distribution processes and store service quality. This study aims to analyze the effect of supplier compliance with SLA and delivery timeliness on warehouse operational performance at K3Mart. This research employs a quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to 40 respondents from the warehouse, purchasing, and procurement divisions using a saturated sampling technique. The research instrument uses a Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination with the assistance of SPSS software. The results show that supplier compliance with SLA and delivery timeliness have a positive and significant effect, both partially and simultaneously, on warehouse operational performance. Therefore, improving supplier compliance with SLA and delivery timeliness can enhance optimal warehouse operational performance.

This study analyzes the strategy of the Community Monitoring Group (Pokmaswas) in developing mangrove forests in Pelambung Village, Tanjung Balai Karimun, Riau Islands. This study aims to explore Pokmaswas management patterns and their impacts on local communities and coastal ecosystems. Mangrove forests play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance, protecting coasts from abrasion, flooding, and storms, and supporting the biodiversity of fish, shrimp, and crabs. In Indonesia, mangrove area has decreased drastically from 5.2 million hectares in 1982 to around 2.5 million hectares due to land conversion, logging, and pollution. In Pelambung Village, Pokmaswas, established in 2023, began rehabilitation by planting 5,000 mangrove seedlings such as Rhizophora (mangrove), Avicennia (api-api), and Sonneratia. This qualitative, descriptive study, using observation, local community interviews, and documentation techniques, was conducted from July to August 2024. The Community Development Group (Pokmaswas) is active in nursery, harvesting, maintenance, monitoring, and ecotourism development, generating economic benefits (job creation, mangrove coffee MSMEs and miniature canoes), ecological benefits (protection from abrasion, increased fisherman's catch), and biological benefits (marine biota habitat). Challenges include limited funding, pest attacks, and integration with regional development.    

Regional government financial performance is a strategic indicator for assessing the success of regional autonomy implementation, particularly in managing public finances in an effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable manner. This study aims to analyze the financial performance of the Government of West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) during the 2018–2022 period using a regional financial ratio analysis approach. The research employs a descriptive quantitative method utilizing secondary data obtained from the Budget Realization Reports (LRA) and the Regional Government Financial Statements (LKPD) that have been audited by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK). The analysis is conducted by calculating regional financial ratios, including the financial independence ratio, the effectiveness ratio of Regional Original Revenue (PAD), the efficiency ratio of regional finances, the activity ratio (expenditure harmony), and the revenue growth ratio. The results indicate that the financial performance of the Government of West Nusa Tenggara Province has generally improved. The regional financial independence ratio falls within the participatory category with an average value of 57.81%, reflecting a gradual reduction in dependence on central government transfer revenues, particularly in 2022. The effectiveness ratio of PAD is categorized as moderately effective, with an average of 92.84%, although it fluctuates due to increases in revenue targets that were not fully matched by actual revenue realization. The regional financial efficiency ratio consistently remains in the efficient category, indicating the local government’s ability to control expenditures relative to revenues. Furthermore, the activity ratio analysis shows a shift in expenditure composition from operating expenditure toward capital expenditure, indicating an increased orientation toward development and long-term investment. The growth ratio reveals a significant increase in PAD in 2022, accompanied by a decline in transfer revenue growth.

This study aims to review the perspectives of MSME owners in the Gonilan area, particularly regarding part-time workers and their use in improving operational cost efficiency. The Gonilan area is known to have many MSMEs operating in various sectors, making this study relevant for understanding the challenges they face. A qualitative method was chosen so that the researcher could conduct in-depth interviews with three MSME owners. The informants were selected because they employed both full-time and part-time workers. The interview results showed that part-time workers were effective in reducing operational costs, such as more flexible hourly wages, although there were some disadvantages. The main disadvantages of part-time workers included lack of experience and limited working hours, which could be overcome through extra training and clear task distribution so that they could focus and increase productivity. The study concluded that the use of part-time workers has a significant impact on the operational cost efficiency of MSMEs, helping owners navigate the market without excessive financial burdens and encouraging long-term business growth.
