The emergence of fintech services requires banks to enhance their competitive advantage through technological innovation and digitalization, compelling Rural Banks (BPR) to adapt in order to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive environment. This study aims to analyze the differences in BPR financial performance before and after the introduction of fintech services, with a focus on capital adequacy, profitability, and liquidity for the period 2019–2023. The sample consists of 21 BPRs in Bali Province, selected using non-probability sampling with purposive sampling techniques based on specific criteria. Data were collected through non-participant observation. The data analysis techniques employed include normality testing and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results reveal that both Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Return on Assets (ROA) of BPRs increased after the implementation of fintech services, whereas the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) decreased. The theoretical implication of this study supports Schumpeter’s theory of innovation, which asserts that technological innovations such as fintech services drive qualitative changes in the economic system through the creation of new products, enhancement of service quality, development of operational methods, and the opening of new markets, thereby improving BPR financial performance. The practical implication of this study is to provide insights for BPRs in formulating strategies to improve financial performance, and for potential customers, BPR health indicators may serve as a reference in assessing the reputation of BPRs and building customer trust, which in turn influences their financial performance.
 

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease caused by impaired insulin function, impaired insulin secretion, or both, resulting in a hyperglycemic condition. Patients with type 2 DM generally exhibit characteristics such as a Random Blood Glucose level exceeding 200 mg/dL and an HbA1c  level exceeding 6.5%. The accuracy of medication administration to patients must also consider the rationality of antidiabetic therapy in order to influence the success rate of optimal therapy. This study aims to evaluate the rationality of patient appropriateness and indication appropriateness in outpatients with type 2 DM at Tabanan Regional Public Hospital (RSUD Tabanan). This study employed a semi-quantitative observational research design with a retrospective approach by reviewing patient medical records from the initiation of therapy. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling, whereby samples had to meet predetermined inclusion criteria. The results indicated that the age group with the highest prevalence of DM patients at RSUD Tabanan was over 56 years old (74%), with a predominance of females (63%). The most common comorbidity among DM patients was hypertension alone (24.5%). Based on the findings, the percentage of patient appropriateness rationality among DM outpatients at RSUD Tabanan was 97.5%, while the percentage of indication appropriateness rationality in type 2 DM outpatients at RSUD Tabanan was 98.5%.

The rapid development of information technology demands that the younger generation, including junior high school students, have a good understanding of how to use digital media safely and responsibly. This seminar aims to provide education on the effective use of email and raise students' awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. The activity was held at SMPN 1 Nonggunong, involving seventh-grade students. The topics covered included the basics of using email, digital communication etiquette, and potential cybersecurity threats such as phishing, malware, and personal data breaches. The implementation methods included material presentations, interactive discussions, and case simulations. The evaluation results showed an 85% improvement in students' understanding of digital security practices, based on pre-test and post-test assessments. This aligns with the findings of Andria et al. (2024), which state that cybersecurity training effectively enhances students' digital literacy. This seminar also supports the research of Giap et al. (2024), which emphasizes the importance of interactive education in increasing digital awareness among teenagers. It is hoped that similar activities can be conducted on a sustainable basis as part of the school's digital literacy curriculum, given the importance of instilling online security practices from an early age.

This study aims to examine the impact of implementing the Core Tax Administration System (CORETAX) on the effectiveness of tax reporting at PT Yekape Surabaya. CORETAX is an integrated digital tax administration system introduced by the Directorate General of Taxes in early 2025. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with two key informants directly involved in the company's tax reporting process. The findings indicate that CORETAX positively affects tax reporting efficiency, system integration, and data transparency. All types of taxes can now be reported through a single platform, replacing the previous manual and segmented applications. However, challenges remain, particularly related to human resource adaptation, system navigation, and technical disruptions during the initial phase. PT Yekape addressed these challenges through internal training and interdepartmental coordination. The study concludes that the success of CORETAX implementation heavily depends on organizational readiness—both technical and human—and the strategic role of internal leadership in supporting the digital transition.
