This study aims to analyze the effect of capital structure, asset growth, and firm size on firm value in plastic and packaging sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. Firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), capital structure is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), asset growth is measured by the asset growth ratio, and firm size is measured using the natural logarithm of total assets. This research employed an explanatory quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from financial statements, annual reports, and stock price data. The sample consisted of 11 companies observed over five years, resulting in 55 panel data observations. Data were analyzed using panel data regression through the Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model, with model selection based on the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests. The results indicate that capital structure, asset growth, and firm size have no significant effect on firm value, either partially or simultaneously. These findings suggest that firm value in the plastic and packaging sub-sector is not sufficiently explained by financing structure, asset expansion, or company size. Investors are more likely to consider other factors, such as profitability, operational efficiency, cash flow, sales growth, raw material risk, and sustainability prospects. Therefore, companies should improve financial performance, asset efficiency, cost control, and sustainable innovation to enhance firm value.

Local wisdom, particularly traditional snacks, constitutes an essential part of national cultural identity that needs to be introduced from an early age. However, observations at SDN 1 Tanggungharjo revealed that students' understanding of traditional snacks remains low, compounded by a lack of contextual and engaging visual learning media. This study aims to design an illustrated book titled "Belajar Jajanan Tradisional" (Learning Traditional Snacks) as a local wisdom-based educational medium for grades 3–6 students at SDN 1 Tanggungharjo. The Design Thinking method was employed through five stages: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. Data were collected through direct observation, teacher interviews, and student questionnaires. The outcome is a 20-page digital illustrated book in A5 PDF format covering four traditional snacks — klepon, dadar gulung, apem, and kue lapis — with content encompassing their origins, philosophy, cultural values, ingredients, and preparation processes. The applied design elements include character personification, vector cartoon style, bright color palettes based on the snacks' natural colors, rounded sans-serif typography, and a charactercentered layout tailored to the cognitive characteristics of students aged 9–12 years. Trial results demonstrated that the illustrated book effectively enhanced students' understanding of and interest in traditional snacks, while receiving positive feedback from teachers as a contextual and meaningful supplementary medium for thematic learning. 

The development of digital financial technology has accelerated the transition from cash-based to cashless payment systems across various economic sectors, including traditional markets. One of the most widely adopted innovations is the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS), which offers convenience, speed, and security in financial transactions. This study aims to analyze the role of digital financial literacy in supporting the utilization of QRIS and its implications for the profitability and business sustainability of traditional market traders in Surabaya. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation and documentation of traders' transaction activities. The findings indicate that the utilization of QRIS among traditional market traders remains suboptimal. This condition is influenced by limited digital financial literacy, insufficient technological skills, and the readiness of business owners to adopt digital payment systems. In addition, concerns regarding transaction security and limited technological competence, particularly among elderly traders, remain significant barriers to digital transformation. Nevertheless, digital financial literacy has been shown to improve transaction efficiency, facilitate financial record-keeping, reduce transaction errors, and support more effective business management. Therefore, strengthening digital financial literacy is a strategic factor in optimizing QRIS adoption to enhance profitability and ensure the long-term sustainability of traditional market businesses in the digital economy.
