This study discusses the comparison of taxation systems between developed and developing countries, focusing on the strategic role of taxes in national development, tax administration challenges, and the relationship between public service quality and taxpayer compliance. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, this research compares Sweden, a developed country known for its transparent and efficient tax system, with Indonesia, a developing country that still faces challenges in tax collection and administration. The findings reveal that the success of a tax system depends greatly on transparency, public service quality, and public trust. In developed countries, taxes serve not only as state revenue but also as tools for income redistribution and economic control. Meanwhile, in developing countries, the main obstacles include low compliance, legal uncertainty, weak enforcement, and underdeveloped administrative culture. Therefore, tax reform is essential to improve tax system effectiveness and public participation. This study recommends regulatory improvement, increased tax literacy, and service innovation to build a fair, transparent, and sustainable tax system.

The combustion of fossil fuels causes an increase in the release a group of gases found in the earth atmosphere that trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect, which in turn contributes to the occurrence of global warming. The advancement of sustainable energy sources plays an important role in human life due to renewable and environmentally friendly. This problem can be resolved by using alternative fuels as renewable sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly, such as bioethanol. Empty fruit bunches (EFB) constitute a portion of the solid waste that cause problems in storage, transportation, and processing costs. This is because EFB is waste in a solid that is produced from a processing facility where the fruits of the oil palm tree are processed to extract palm oil in large quantities. The process of producing bioethanol by utilizing coconut fruit bunches that are devoid of their contents as a raw material involves two essential stages: hydrolysis and drying. Hydrolysis with an acid catalyst results in a lower yield, but the catalyst itself is inexpensive. Conversely, when using enzyme catalysts, hydrolysis produces a greater quantity of reducing sugars. Enzyme catalysts can be employed in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process using S. cerevisiae yeast, while chemical catalysts can be used in separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) methods. The SSF method provides a comparatively elevated ethanol yield, demands less enzyme usage, has a shorter duration for ethanol production, and is environmentally friendlier when compared to the SHF procedure.

This paper examines the military cooperation between Brunei Darussalam and the United Kingdom, as well as its impact on regional stability in Southeast Asia, focusing on Brunei's non-alignment strategy as a small state. Using a descriptive analytic method based on a literature review, this paper explores descriptive data on the dynamics of Brunei's foreign policy strategy in building bilateral relations, the role of the UK post-Brexit through the Global Britain strategy in strengthening bilateral relations with ASEAN member countries, and the implementation of Brunei and British military cooperation in maintaining regional security stability through the presence of British Forces Brunei since 1963. This is supported by historical ties and the Garrison Agreement to strengthen the security of the country and the region without confrontation. Therefore, this paper shows that Brunei has managed to balance military cooperation with the UK and economic cooperation with China in the midst of great power rivalries and tensions over the South China Sea dispute, as well as its implications for regional stability.

This study examines the influence of financial attitudes, financial literacy, and lifestyle on financial decision-making and financial well-being, with a focus on Generation Z. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 306 respondents in West Sumatra through online surveys. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method, employing the Disjointed Two-Stage approach to ensure robustness and accuracy in testing the structural model. The results reveal that financial attitudes and financial literacy significantly enhance financial decision-making, which in turn positively influences financial well-being. Conversely, lifestyle exerts a negative influence on financial decision-making, thereby reducing financial well-being. Financial decision-making mediates the relationship between financial attitude, financial literacy and lifestyle toward financial well-being. This study contributes to the literature by integrating psychological, behavioural, and lifestyle dimensions into a unified model of financial well-being. It provides empirical evidence on the dominant role of financial attitude and the mediating mechanism of financial decision-making among digital-native populations. The findings suggest that targeted financial literacy interventions, value-oriented financial education, and lifestyle awareness programs are essential to foster sound financial decisions and improve financial well-being, especially for Generation Z.

Pesantren merupakan lembaga pendidikan Islam yang memiliki peran penting dalam pembentukan karakter dan moral peserta didik. Seiring perkembangan zaman, pesantren dituntut tidak hanya fokus pada aspek pendidikan keagamaan, tetapi juga mampu mandiri secara ekonomi untuk mendukung keberlangsungan program-programnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana Pesantren Awwalu Ihya'i Daril Amanah (AIDA) membangun perekonomian mandiri, serta strategi yang dapat diterapkan guna mengembangkan usaha yang sudah ada. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode wawancara dengan pengurus pesantren yang bertujuan untuk memperoleh data dan informasi terkait biografi pesantren dan sistem perekonomian yang ada di pesantren, serta melakukan observasi untuk memperoleh data dan informasi secara langsung mengenai kondisi nyata di lapangan guna mendukung data yang diperoleh berdasar hasil wawancara dalam penelitian. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara dan observasi lapangan diperoleh bahwasanya salah satu upaya pesantren dalam mewujudkan kemandirian di bidang ekonominya adalah pemanfaatan lahan pesantren yang disewakan kepada usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM) yang mana ditemukan bahwasanya usaha ini dapat meningkatkan pendapatan pesantren dan memperkuat hubungan sosial-ekonomi dengan masyarakat sekitar. Analisis SWOT digunakan untuk menentukan kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang, dan ancaman dari sistem keuangan yang sedang beroperasi. Untuk memaksimalkan potensi lahan yang belum dimanfaatkan, studi ini juga menyarankan pembentukan toko buku dan toko percetakan serta pembangunan pom mini. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ada potensi besar untuk mendukung kemandirian ekonomi pesantren dan memiliki efek positif pada komunitas pesantren dan masyarakat sekitarnya.
