An efficient organizational structure, a competent management team, and strong supervision mechanisms further strengthen the project’s operational readiness. Increasing demand for construction services also enhances the company’s market prospects. However, several areas still require improvement, including heavy equipment utilization, material efficiency, and digital marketing strategies. This program provides strategic recommendations to help PT Sahabat Anugrah Sejati improve project feasibility, operational effectiveness, and long-term business sustainability.

This study aims to analyze the influence of macroeconomic variables in the form of the dollar exchange rate, inflation, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on the Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) in Indonesia for the period 2010–2024. The research method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis using time series data obtained from Bank Indonesia, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The data analysis technique was carried out through classical assumption tests and hypothesis testing to determine the relationship between variables. The results of the study show that partially GDP has a significant effect on the JCI, while inflation and the dollar exchange rate tend not to have a significant effect. However, simultaneously these three variables have a significant influence on the JCI. These findings show that macroeconomic stability is very important in maintaining the performance of the capital market in Indonesia and can be a reference for investors in making investment decisions. In addition, the results of the study confirm that national economic growth is the main indicator that market participants pay attention to in assessing investment prospects. Therefore, the government needs to maintain economic stability through effective and sustainable fiscal and monetary policies.

In the investment world, stock returns are the leading indicator of a company’s performance and the basis for investor decision-making in the capital market. Fluctuations in stock returns reflect market expectations of the company’s prospects. The retail sector in Indonesia is facing significant pressure from post-pandemic shifts in consumer behavior and increased competition. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial distress, company size, liquidity, operating cash flow, and accounting profit on stock returns in retail sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2021 to 2023. This type of research is causally associated with a quantitative approach. The data used is secondary, in the form of financial statements from retail companies. The sampling technique used was purposive, yielding a total of 39 data points from 13 retail companies. Data testing was carried out using SPSS version 24. The results showed that partially, the variables of financial distress, company size, liquidity, and accounting profit had no significant effect on stock returns. Meanwhile, operating cash flow positively impacts stock returns. These findings indicate that fundamental indicators are not always the main determinants of stock returns. Therefore, investors are advised also to consider external factors such as market sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, and government policies that may have a greater influence on stock performance in the capital market.

The global environmental crisis caused by plastic pollution has intensified in recent years, particularly in aquatic ecosystems such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, creating an urgent need for effective and sustainable solutions. This article explores the potential role of aquatic bacteria in degrading plastic polymers by reviewing the biological and molecular mechanisms these microorganisms use to break down complex synthetic materials. Special attention is given to key genes and enzymes involved in plastic degradation, including PETase and MHETase, which play a critical role in the decomposition of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In addition, the article highlights advanced gene expression and analysis techniques, such as metagenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, to better understand bacterial activity and degradation dynamics in natural environments. The main problem addressed is the continuous and unsustainable production and consumption of plastics, which has resulted in extensive pollution of freshwater and marine systems, while conventional waste treatment methods remain largely ineffective. The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive scientific review of biotechnological approaches used to analyze and utilize aquatic bacteria for plastic degradation, focusing on molecular aspects and environmental applications. Using a literature review method, studies published between 2018 and 2024 were analyzed to evaluate effective bacterial models, technological challenges, and future prospects. The findings indicate that aquatic bacteria offer promising potential as biological tools for mitigating plastic pollution through sustainable environmental strategies.

Eradicating terrorism has become a top priority for the Indonesian government in maintaining security and peace in this country. However, these efforts are faced with complex legal challenges. This journal evaluates these challenges and formulates future prospects. Legal challenges include legislative aspects, law implementation, law enforcement, and human rights protection. One of the main challenges is the balance between the need for national security and the protection of human rights. Coordination between law enforcement, intelligence and other related agencies is also a challenge. The Indonesian government's efforts to overcome these challenges involve the establishment of special institutions and mechanisms, training of law enforcement personnel, as well as international cooperation in intelligence exchange and law enforcement. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a literature review of related information sources. Through descriptive analysis, this research explores legal regulations, policies and field practices related to eradicating terrorism in Indonesia. Evaluation of the efforts that have been made includes strengthening anti-terrorism laws, establishing special institutions and units, as well as international cooperation.

Research on stock splits has been widely conducted in Indonesia and internationally, as stock splits are considered an important corporate action that can influence investor perception and stock performance. However, the motivations and consequences of stock splits remain diverse, ranging from efforts to increase stock liquidity, adjust market price ranges, attract new investors, or signal positive corporate prospects. This study aims to empirically reanalyze the effect of stock splits on trading volume and stock prices of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2022–2024 period. Specifically, the research investigates whether significant differences exist between trading activities and stock price levels before and after the stock split event. The data used in this study are historical in nature, consisting of stock split announcements, daily trading volume, and stock price movements surrounding the event period. To test the hypotheses, this research employs both the paired-sample t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test as statistical tools. These tests are appropriate because they allow for the comparison of two related samples, namely the stock performance indicators before and after the split. The selection between the two methods depends on the distribution of the data, where the paired t-test is used if the data is normally distributed, while the Wilcoxon test is applied if the normality assumption is not met. This study is categorized as moderate TKT (Technology Readiness Level 4–6) because it uses secondary historical data and focuses on empirical statistical analysis rather than experimental or simulation-based approaches. By examining stock split events within the specified period, this research contributes to the understanding of whether stock splits in Indonesia are primarily cosmetic in nature or if they generate real economic impacts on liquidity and stock valuation. The findings are expected to provide useful insights for investors, market analysts, and policymakers in assessing the relevance and effectiveness of stock splits as a corporate strategy.

This study aims to evaluate the financial performance of PT Akasha Wira International Tbk during the period 2022 to 2024 using profitability ratio analysis. The ratios analyzed include Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Gross Profit Margin (GPM), Operating Profit Margin (OPM), and Net Profit Margin (NPM). The data used is sourced from official financial statements published through the Indonesia Stock Exchange website. Based on the results of the analysis, the company's financial performance is generally relatively good and shows stability over the past three years. This is reflected in the consistency of the profitability ratio which is at a favorable level, indicating the effectiveness of the company in managing assets, its own capital, production costs, and operational activities. Further analysis shows that the Return on Assets and Return on Equity show a stable trend with a slight increase, which indicates efficiency in asset utilization and capital management. Gross Profit Margin and Operating Profit Margin also show positive trends, indicating efficiency in managing production costs and operational activities. Net Profit Margin, although slightly volatile, remains within a range that reflects good profitability. In addition, the results of this evaluation also indicate that the company has the ability to adapt to market changes and dynamic economic conditions. The ability to maintain profit margins in the midst of economic fluctuations shows the resilience of the business model and operational strategy applied. These findings provide an idea that PT Akasha Wira International Tbk has been able to maintain a healthy performance despite being in a competitive business environment. Thus, the results of this evaluation can be used as a basis for strategic considerations by management in preparing long-term financial plans and decision-making, as well as a reference for investors in assessing the company's prospects.

This research was conducted to analyze and understand the performance of the company PT Tjiwi Kimia Tbk with the Dupont system as an analytical tool. The data used in this study are secondary data, namely the company’s financial statements sourced through the IDX with the observation period 2020-2024. In the analysis conducted, it was found that the performance of the company PT Tjiwi Kimia in 2020-2024 was not good. This is because although the company showed a good ability to manage sales profitability (NPM) in several years and control the use of good debt (declining EM), the lack of efficient use of assets hindered the company’s ability to generate optimal returns for shareholders which resulted in a low ROE value. In signaling theory, a declining Equity Multiplier trend indicates a positive signal to investors regarding prudent debt management and more controllable financial risks. However, the low ROE value indicates a negative signal that the company needs to improve to increase investor confidence in profitability prospects.

Banana blossoms are a part of banana plants (Musa paradisiaca) that are often underutilized and considered agricultural waste. However, banana blossoms have significant potential as an alternative food source with high nutritional value. This study aims to analyze the nutritional content of banana blossoms, develop optimal processing methods, and evaluate their economic potential. The methods used include laboratory experimental approaches for proximate analysis, organoleptic tests for sensory evaluation, and cost analysis calculations for economic assessment.The research findings indicate that banana blossoms contain high fiber (5.7 g/100g), moderate protein (1.6 g/100g), low fat (0.3 g/100g), and are rich in calcium (50 mg/100g), potassium (553 mg/100g), and antioxidants. The optimal processing method was a combination of initial boiling followed by stir-frying, which preserved 87% of the nutrients and produced the best sensory profile. Product development, including banana blossom floss, chips, and flour, demonstrated high consumer acceptance (>70%) with a profit margin ranging from 35-55%.This study concludes that banana blossoms have great potential as a sustainable alternative food source with high nutritional value and promising economic prospects. Utilizing banana blossoms can contribute to food security, the diversification of functional food products, and the empowerment of community-based economic development. Therefore, further efforts to enhance the utilization of banana blossoms should be encouraged to support the sustainability of the food and economic sectors.

Firm value is essential for business sustainability and serves as a key consideration for investors in assessing a company’s prospects. The enhancement of firm value is influenced by various factors observed by both internal and external parties. This study examines the partial effects of profitability, company growth, and capital structure on firm value. The research variables include Return on Assets (ROA) for profitability, Sales Growth for company growth, Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) for capital structure, and Price to Book Value (PBV) for firm value. A quantitative approach was employed using a sample of 25 technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2023 period, selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that profitability and company growth have a negative effect on firm value, while capital structure has a positive effect. These results contradict signaling theory but support the trade-off theory. This research contributes both theoretically and practically to the field of accounting and serves as a reference for management and investors in making strategic decisions related to enhancing firm value.
