This study uses a qualitative method to analyze the optimization of digital branding strategies in enhancing the competitiveness of Islamic banks in the digital economy era. Changes in consumer behavior, advancements in information technology, and increasing competition in the banking sector are the main factors driving the importance of digital branding as a modern marketing strategy. Islamic banks are required not only to comply with Sharia principles but also to adapt to digital transformation dynamics to maintain their relevance. This study explores various elements of digital branding such as digital visual identity, social media interaction, and brand narratives based on Islamic values that help shape positive consumer perceptions. The findings reveal that Islamic banks that consistently implement digital branding strategies are more likely to build customer loyalty, increase brand awareness, and create strong differentiation from conventional competitors. These findings affirm that digital branding is not merely a promotional tool but a strategic instrument in building public trust and brand image in the rapidly evolving digital transformation era.
 
 

This study examines the relationship between corporate financial disclosure and investment decisions by shareholders and investors in capital markets. Using a comprehensive dataset of 486 publicly listed companies from multiple stock exchanges over a five-year period (2018-2022), we investigate how the quality, scope, and timing of financial disclosures influence investment behaviors, pricing efficiency, and capital allocation. Through multiple regression analysis, structural equation modeling, and panel data techniques, we find that higher disclosure quality is significantly associated with increased trading volumes (?=0.42, p<0.01), lower bid-ask spreads (?=-0.38, p<0.01), and reduced stock price volatility (?=-0.31, p<0.01). Our analysis reveals that voluntary disclosures beyond regulatory requirements have a stronger impact on institutional investor decisions compared to retail investors. Additionally, the study documents that forward-looking financial information and segment reporting have particularly strong effects on investment decisions during periods of market uncertainty. The findings contribute to disclosure theory and provide empirical evidence for regulators considering disclosure policy reforms, corporate executives formulating communication strategies, and investors developing investment frameworks that incorporate disclosure quality assessment. The study addresses the causality challenge through instrumental variable estimation and difference-in-differences analysis of regulatory changes, enhancing the robustness of the identified relationships.

The development of digital technologies such as gadgets has grown very rapidly in the last decade, which applications often do not determine the age range for users, especially for children. Today, parents are faced with the dilemma of letting their children use these modern gadgets, which often cause serious addiction or keep them in the dark and risk facing children who know nothing. These problems also occur in MI Miftahul Huda students in the Tulungagung Regency in East Java province. The research was conducted on February 20 to March 20, 2024. This research was only limited to one class, namely class 2 with the dependence of the gadget to be given an alternative game of kinetic sand. The design of this study uses experimental quasy with pre and post design tests. The population in this study were MI Miftahul Huda Pulerejo Tulungagung students who were dependent on gadgets that met the research inclusion criteria. The sample in this study were 23 respondents. The problem of gadget dependency data has a very high level, which will affect the development of children's social skills. For that, a suitable method is needed for analyzing it, the method that has been used is to use traditional games by playing with their peers. Another solution researchers will use the game of kinetic sand to overcome the problem of gadget dependence on children, which has benefits in playing kinetic sand such as for creativity and as a gathering place for socialization. The general objective is to play kinetic sand to develop social skills in children, while the specific goal is to find out whether kinetic sand is the right game tool to overcome gadget dependency problems in primary school-age children. The expected benefits are the proposer researchers can socialize the game of kinetic sand to teachers and guardians of students in elementary school so that after this study ends, the game of kinetic sand can be applied to students or children of primary school age. The plan of this activity will begin with 1) collecting academic data, distributing questionnaires to student guardians, 2) data analysis, 3) testing using kinetic sand games, 4) discussing the results of the trial. The output that will be carried out are scientific publications in accredited national journals or non-accredited national journals.

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly among children aged 6-59 months. Stunting, defined as low height-for-age, results from chronic undernutrition during the most critical periods of growth and development. This study aims to analyze the sociodemographic and socio-cultural factors associated with stunting in Gorontalo, Indonesia, to inform targeted interventions. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 325 children aged 6-59 months, selected consecutively. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering seven sociodemographic and two sociocultural factors, alongside the Individual Dietary Diversity Score (IDDS) questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using Chi-Square tests, while multivariate analysis employed Logistic Regression to identify significant predictors of stunting. The prevalence of stunting among the sample was 35.7%. Bivariate analysis identified Birth Length, Birth Weight, Family Income, Exclusive Breastfeeding, Complementary Foods, Food Diversity, and Parenting as factors associated with stunting. Multivariate analysis revealed that Birth Length (OR=0.377; 95% CI: 0.188-0.754), Birth Weight (OR=0.231; 95% CI: 0.095-0.561), Exclusive Breastfeeding (OR=0.307; 95% CI: 0.164-0.575), and Food Diversity (OR=0.064; 95% CI: 0.033-0.123) were significant protective factors against stunting. Conversely, Family Income and Education were identified as confounding factors. The findings underscore the critical importance of the first 1000 days of life in preventing stunting. Efforts should improve maternal nutrition to ensure optimal birth weight and length, promote exclusive breastfeeding, and enhance dietary diversity among young children. Addressing these factors can significantly reduce the prevalence of stunting and improve child health outcomes in Gorontalo.
