Foreign debt (ULN) is one of the important issues in the dynamics of the global economy, especially for developing countries. This study aims to analyze the causal factors, conditions of ULN in Indonesia, and its impact on the economy. Qualitative research methods with a literature approach were used to collect data from various written sources. The results of the study indicate that the factors causing ULN in Indonesia include the inability to provide sufficient development funds, an imbalance between investment and savings, and dependence on imported goods. The impact of ULN on the Indonesian economy is divided into positive and negative impacts. The positive impacts include effective sources of development financing, recognition of the country's ability to pay off debt, the establishment of relations between countries, and encouragement of domestic policy improvements. The negative impacts include the burden on the APBN, reduction in spending strategies, the influence of creditor countries in policy making, and the stigma of being a failed state. The study concludes that ULN in Indonesia needs to be managed wisely by considering long-term risks. Some recommended solutions include delaying principal debt payments, changing payment obligations, and reducing principal debt. This study provides important information for policy stakeholders and the Indonesian public in understanding the importance of wise ULN management to encourage sustainable economic growth and improve people's welfare.

This community service project sought to investigate the significance of community oversight in village fund management, focusing on Belabaja Village. Socialization and observational activities revealed a low level of community participation in monitoring the management of village funds. Factors contributing to this low participation include limited public awareness, inadequate socialization efforts by the village government, community members' busy schedules, and a lack of strong relationships between village officials and the community. Despite these challenges, community oversight remains essential for ensuring transparency and accountability in the utilization of village funds. The study concludes that there is a need to enhance public awareness of the importance of oversight and to foster stronger partnerships between village governments and the community to achieve sustainable development objectives.

This study aims to investigate the influence of discipline on teacher motivation in public elementary schools in Makassar. The research employs descriptive and confirmatory approaches. The descriptive approach seeks to explain the data presented in tables, figures, and graphs, while the confirmatory approach is used to confirm the influence of exogenous variables (discipline, competence, and leadership) on the intervening variable (motivation) and the endogenous variable (performance). The research was conducted in 58 public elementary schools across three districts: Tallo, Ujung Tanah, and Wajo, with the study period estimated to last three months, from April to July 2024. The data types include primary data obtained through observations, questionnaires, and interviews with respondents, as well as secondary data from documents, reports, books, the internet, and related journals. From 300 respondents, the results indicate that the overall perception of motivation is positive, with an average score of 3.68. The indicators of attendance and active involvement received the highest score (3.75), followed by enthusiasm in teaching (3.77), while the indicators of energy in teaching (3.59) and the drive for student progress (3.64) received lower scores. These findings suggest that, although the majority of respondents agree that motivation is an important factor in performance, 18.48% of respondents do not fully agree. The study also found a positive and significant relationship between teacher discipline and their performance, mediated by motivation. Discipline helps teachers manage tasks and time effectively, which in turn enhances both motivation and performance. In conclusion, to improve teaching quality, it is essential for schools to support teacher motivation and discipline through professional development programs and to create a conducive environment.

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in Indonesia, the demand for medicines and other consumer products has increased. Public demand for companies to continue to care about environmental sustainability to reduce the negative impact of company activities on the environment. One concept that can be applied by management to handle problems that occur between the environment and the company is the concept of eco-efficiency.

The quality of audits is a crucial measurement to determine how effectively an audit has been conducted and the extent to which it produces relevant, accurate, and reliable information. High-quality audit outcomes are typically assessed based on how well the audit team performs the planning process, ensures that the audit plan is relevant and effective, produces audit reports that meet stakeholders' needs, and adheres to ethical principles aligned with established auditing standards. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which several key factors—namely audit planning, audit implementation, audit reporting, and ethical principles—have a direct impact on the audit quality of the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (Aparat Pengawasan Intern Pemerintah, or APIP) in the Binjai City Government. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing primary data collected from a sample of 39 government auditors. Data analysis was performed using the SmartPLS (Partial Least Squares) application, which allows for the modeling of complex relationships between variables. The findings reveal that audit planning, audit implementation, and audit reporting all have a significant and direct influence on the quality of audit results. These components play a central role in enhancing the credibility, effectiveness, and usefulness of internal government audits. However, the study also finds that ethical principles, while essential in guiding professional conduct, do not have a statistically significant direct impact on audit quality in this specific context. The results underscore the importance of strengthening technical aspects of the audit process, such as planning and reporting, while also maintaining strong ethical foundations as complementary rather than primary determinants of audit quality. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to improve the effectiveness and reliability of internal government audits in Indonesian public sector institutions.
