This study reviews eight selected research articles on carbon accounting and sustainable accounting published between 2010 and 2024. The reviewed works explore various themes, including third-party roles in climate governance, adaptation strategies, environmental management accounting, corporate carbon reporting, net-zero carbon emissions, and sustainability integration in accounting frameworks. Despite differences in scope, sectoral focus, and methodological approach, all studies converge on three key insights: (1) the need to enhance understanding and management of carbon emissions and sustainability issues; (2) the importance of integrating sustainability metrics and strategies into business operations, reporting standards, and educational curricula; and (3) the urgency for more research and enabling frameworks that support the transition to a low-carbon economy. Notably, the studies vary in their contributions. Some adopt interdisciplinary perspectives, while others concentrate on sector-specific or methodological challenges, such as transparency, accountability, and the operationalization of sustainability practices. The research also reveals inconsistency in addressing research gaps—some areas remain predominantly empirical and require clearer definitions of causal relationships, whereas others demand theoretical development or applied knowledge for practical implementation. These gaps reflect the evolving nature of sustainability in accounting and highlight critical opportunities for future inquiry. Addressing these issues can support more effective carbon accounting practices and foster informed, strategic pathways toward sustainability.

MSMEs face complex challenges in building brand equity and customer loyalty in the digital era, where global competition and dynamic consumer preferences require innovative marketing strategies (Lasrado et al., 2022). This research aims to analyse the role of experiential marketing in improving brand equity and customer loyalty of MSMEs in international markets, with case studies on the creative sector (fashion/culinary) in three regions: ASEAN, Middle East, and Europe. Using an explanatory quantitative approach, data was collected from 400 active customers through a structured questionnaire and analysed with SEM-AMOS. Results show experiential marketing has a significant effect on brand equity. Practical implications include data analytics-based budget allocation recommendations and cultural adaptation in marketing strategies. The findings contribute to the global MSME digital marketing literature and offer operational guidance for businesses.

One of the common pests found in oil palm is the nettle caterpillar (Setothosea asigna), which can consume between 300 to 500 cm² of leaves per individual. A single oil palm tree may host between 5 to 10 of these caterpillars. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fogging in controlling Setothosea asigna infestations on oil palm trees of varying heights at PT Socfindo, Matapao Estate, North Sumatra. The research was conducted in two plantation blocks with different tree heights: block 49 with trees ranging from 9–12 meters and block 46 with trees ranging from 3–6 meters. Data collection involved an initial census to count caterpillars before fogging, followed by a post-fogging census to observe mortality rates. Data were analyzed using a t-test to compare the effectiveness of fogging between tall and short trees. The results showed that fogging was more effective on shorter trees, with an average mortality rate of 94%, compared to 90% on taller trees.

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) is a key strategic commodity in Indonesia, playing a vital role in national exports and supporting various industries, including food production and renewable energy. Harvesting is a critical phase in oil palm cultivation, and its outcomes are significantly influenced by agronomic practices and environmental conditions, such as waterlogging. This study aimed to compare oil palm yields between waterlogged and non-waterlogged fields and to assess the statistical significance of any differences observed. The research was conducted at Tanjung Buluh Estate, Division 3 of PT Socfin Indonesia, located in Teluk Mengkudu, North Sumatra. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was employed, focusing on a single factor: land condition (waterlogged vs. non-waterlogged). Results showed that the average fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yield from non-waterlogged plots was 109.4 kg, notably higher than the 78.9 kg recorded in waterlogged areas. A T-test yielded a P-value of 0.0929, approaching the 10% significance threshold, suggesting that waterlogging can potentially reduce oil palm productivity.
