This study aims to analyze the impact of digital technology adoption on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia, by considering the mediating roles of innovation capability, financial access, and business trust. MSMEs play a strategic role in the national economy, yet they continue to face various challenges in enhancing competitiveness and business performance. Digital technology adoption has emerged as a key strategy to drive operational transformation, expand market reach, and improve efficiency. This research adopts a quantitative approach using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method to examine the relationships among variables. The findings indicate that digital technology adoption significantly affects MSME performance, both directly and through the enhancement of innovation capability and financial access. Furthermore, business trust also plays an important role as a psychological factor that reinforces commitment and business sustainability. These findings highlight the importance of policy support, digital infrastructure, financial literacy, and innovation capacity in strengthening the competitiveness of MSMEs in the digital economy era. This study provides both theoretical and practical contributions to the development of a digital-based MSME empowerment model in Indonesia.

This study focused on creating an innovative learning tool – a rotating solar system model – to help sixth-grade elementary students in Natural Sciences (IPA) better understand the solar system. We identified key challenges in teaching this topic: students often showed low interest and struggled with the abstract concepts of planetary movement. To address these issues, we used a Research and Development (R&D) approach following the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The rotating solar system model was designed as a three-dimensional teaching aid that students could manually rotate. This simple yet educational design visually demonstrates the orbit and rotation of planets around the sun. During development, we consulted with subject matter experts and media experts to ensure the content's accuracy and visual quality. Validation results were highly positive, with average scores of 88% from subject experts, 83% from media experts, and 92% from practitioners, all categorized as "good." We then conducted a limited trial with 29 sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 222 Palembang. The results were encouraging: we observed a significant improvement in conceptual understanding, as evidenced by pre-test and post-test score comparisons, as well as an increase in student motivation during the learning process. 

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the National Cash Social Assistance (BST) policy on the purchasing power of communities in Surabaya. BST is a social protection program launched by the Indonesian government in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy targets low-income and vulnerable groups through direct cash transfers, with the goal of maintaining basic consumption levels and preventing a sharp decline in household welfare. This research examines the extent to which the BST program has achieved its objectives, particularly in enhancing or sustaining the purchasing power of its beneficiaries in urban settings. The study employs an evaluative approach using a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews involving aid recipients and local-level implementers. The findings indicate that the BST program had a positive short-term impact on household purchasing power, particularly in meeting essential needs such as food and utility expenses. However, several implementation challenges were also identified, including issues of inaccurate beneficiary targeting, delays in distribution, and the relatively small amount of assistance compared to actual household need. These results highlight that the effectiveness of social policy is not solely dependent on budget allocation but also on the precision of its implementation on the ground. Consequently, the study recommends improvements in beneficiary data updating, enhanced transparency in aid distribution, and the development of more adaptive program designs that reflect local socio-economic conditions. The findings are expected to serve as a valuable reference for policymakers in designing more efficient and sustainable social assistance programs in the future.
 

According to a UNESCO report, more than 80% of industrial wastewater containing hazardous substances is discharged without treatment. This research aims to understand the implementation of Permen LHK Number 6 of 2021 in the management of hazardous waste at PT Bina Guna Kimia and the role of the Semarang Regency Environmental Agency (DLH). The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with empirical juridical methods. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature studies, and validated by source triangulation and analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that PT Bina Guna Kimia has implemented Permen LHK No. 6 of 2021 well, although there are still challenges such as the lack of understanding of employees about waste classification. The B3 waste management system in this company is quite effective with strict procedures in identification, storage, transportation, recording through logbooks, and real-time monitoring through the SIMPEL application. The company also regularly conducts training and works with certified vendors. DLH Semarang Regency plays an active role through supervision, socialization, compliance audits, coaching, and education to businesses to increase environmental awareness and compliance. This study suggests that DLH and PT Bina Guna Kimia improve education and training programs, and encourage industry players to seek alternative funding for the implementation of environmentally friendly technology. In addition, collaboration between stakeholders needs to be improved to create effective and sustainable hazardous waste management.

Abu Ubaid’s economic thinking, particularly in the context of wealth distribution and social justice, provides important insights for the management of Islamic economics. Through his work Kitab al-Amwal, Abu Ubaid emphasizes the role of the state in distributing the wealth of the people fairly and the obligation of individuals to pay zakat and sedekah. His thinking that focuses On equity, transparency, and accountability in wealth management remains relevant amidst the challenges of global economic inequality. Abu Ubaid’s ideas on social justice and wealth distribution provide guidance in building a more equitable and sustainable economic system.
 

The poverty rate in Batang Regency remains high. One of the government's strategies to address this issue is through the implementation of the One Village One Product (OVOP) program, which aims to develop and promote distinctive products from each MSME across regions. However, a major weakness identified in the OVOP program is the limited access to capital among MSME owners, which constitutes a significant responsibility for the government. Strengthening MSME business capital can be achieved through loan facilitation and improved financial management practices, particularly by enhancing financial literacy. This study, based on a literature review with a qualitative approach, utilizes primary and secondary data from various sources. The findings reveal that OVOP-based MSMEs in Batang Regency demonstrate financial literacy rates as follows: (1) 50–70% possess knowledge of financial recording and management, and (2) a portion has systematically recorded business income and expenses. While these two aspects of financial literacy are relatively well adopted, knowledge related to financial access remains under 60%. The government's role in promoting financial literacy has so far been limited to educational and socialization activities, which have not been conducted consistently or sustainably

In the context of modern organizations that increasingly demand high productivity, employees’ emotional well-being is often overlooked in organizational design. This study aims to explore how a humanistic approach can be integrated into organizational design to create a work environment that is not only efficient but also supportive of emotional well-being. Using a literature review method complemented by interviews and observations of workplace dynamics, this study finds that organizations still tend to adopt bureaucratic and technocratic approaches that neglect employees’ psychological dimensions. As a result, issues such as burnout, decreased motivation, and low work engagement emerge. The findings highlight the need for a paradigm shift in organizational design—from a purely structural system toward a humanistic design that considers emotional needs. This study emphasizes that emotional well-being must be positioned as a strategic element in organizational design, not merely as a supplementary effort. Thus, work effectiveness and emotional well-being can be sustainably aligned.
