Abstract

This initiative is part of a broader commitment to support rural agricultural development through technological innovation and knowledge transfer. Through workshops, demonstrations, and direct community involvement, this program will not only provide access to the feed chopper but also equip farmers with the skills and understanding needed to adopt and sustain its use. This community service project was designed using a participatory and problem-solving approach, integrating technical innovation with local knowledge to empower goat farmers. This community service initiative successfully introduced a practical and energy-efficient goat feed chopping machine to a rural farming community. The machine effectively addressed key challenges in manual feed preparation, including time consumption, labor intensity, and inconsistency in feed size. This initiative demonstrates that small-scale engineering solutions, when aligned with local needs and capacities, can significantly advance rural development and agricultural sustainability.

Abstract

This program is designed to provide hands-on training, resources, and long-term support to individuals and families, especially women and youth, in rural areas. By equipping participants with the knowledge and tools necessary for successful goat rearing, the program not only creates opportunities for additional income but also strengthens food resilience and self-sufficiency at the grassroots level. This community service program employs a participatory and sustainable development approach to implement goat farming as a tool for empowerment and livelihood improvement. The methodology consists of five main phases: community assessment, participant selection, training and capacity-building, implementation, and monitoring & evaluation. The Micro-Livestock and Macro-Impact program demonstrated that small-scale goat farming can serve as a powerful tool for community empowerment, particularly in rural areas with limited income sources. Through training, resource provision, and cooperative support, participants significantly improved their knowledge, increased their household income, and began to experience the benefits of sustainable livestock management. The success of this program highlights the potential of micro-livestock farming to serve as a replicable and scalable model for rural development. It shows that even small agricultural interventions, when paired with training and community engagement, can lead to measurable improvements in food security, income generation, and social empowerment.

Abstract

This study adopts a qualitative approach to examine how AI-based credit risk models are conceptualized and applied in digital finance, with a focus on emerging economies. The novelty of this study lies in: Exploring the human dimensions of AI adoption, including trust and interpretation by credit practitioners; Highlighting ethical and governance issues such as bias, fairness, and data privacy; Identifying hybrid models that combine AI with human oversight in risk decisions; and Offering policy insights for the responsible integration of AI in digital credit systems. This study uses a qualitative exploratory approach to investigate how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is conceptualized, implemented, and perceived in the context of credit risk prediction in digital financial systems. Through a qualitative, multi-case approach involving interviews and document analysis, it finds that AI offers substantial potential to improve credit risk models, particularly through the use of alternative behavioral data. These findings highlight the need for a balanced credit assessment framework where AI supports, but does not completely replace, human expertise.

Abstract

Department of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives and SMEs (DITCS) of Riau has an important role in supporting 631,347 groups of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in various fields such as handicrafts, batik, songket, and food and beverages. Many MSME merchants still market their products traditionally through the neighborhood and word of mouth, while online marketing faces a big challenge because they have to compete with well-known brands, making them difficult to develop and grow their business. To overcome these problems, an Android-based application “LaKu” was developed that aims to help MSME merchants in expanding their marketing reach and increasing their competitiveness in Riau. The development of this application uses the Extreme Programming (XP) method which consists of four main steps: Planning, Design, Code, and Testing. The development results show that the “LaKu” application can be an effective digital marketing platform, helping MSMEs in promoting products more widely without having to compete directly with big brands. With this application, MSMEs are able to increase competitiveness and contribute to local economic growth in Riau Province.

Abstract

This study examines the interplay among the ASEAN region’s financial development, informal economy, and sustainable development. While financial development is expected to support economic growth, its relationship to sustainability remains ambiguous, particularly in economies with significant informal sectors. Using a panel dataset from 1991 to 2020 across 10 ASEAN countries, the study employs robust econometric techniques, including fixed effects, feasible general least squares methodology, and quantile regression, to assess the direct and indirect effects of financial development and informality on sustainability. Findings reveal that the informal economy positively contributes to sustainable development, likely by providing employment and economic opportunities. However, financial development, measured by a broad money supply and private sector credit, has a negative impact, suggesting that financial resources are not effectively allocated to sustainability-driven sectors. The interaction between financial development and informality further exacerbates sustainability challenges, indicating a misalignment between formal financial mechanisms and informal economic activities. These results highlight the need for policy strategies integrating informal sector dynamics into financial systems, ensuring financial growth translates into broader sustainable development outcomes. Strengthening financial inclusion and directing capital to sustainability-focused initiatives could help bridge the gap between formal finance and the informal economy in ASEAN nations.

Abstract

This study investigates brand image as an economic asset by analyzing its mediating role in the relationship between online customer reviews, customer experience, and product quality on consumers’ repurchase intentions for the Karung Jantan clothing brand. Recognizing that a strong brand image can enhance customer loyalty, reduce marketing costs, and increase long-term revenue, this research adopts a quantitative approach and analyzes data using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with SmartPLS 4.0. The results reveal that brand image does not significantly mediate the effects of online customer reviews and customer experience on repurchase intention. However, brand image significantly mediates the relationship between product quality and repurchase intention, reinforcing its role as an intangible economic asset. Moreover, online customer reviews, customer experience, and product quality all have a positive and significant direct influence on both brand image and repurchase intention. These findings underscore the economic value of investing in brand image and product quality to drive repeat purchases and ensure sustainable business growth.

Abstract

This study examines how the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) moderates the effects of Board of Directors (BOD) characteristics on real earnings management (REM) of Islamic banks. Using unbalanced data encompassing 45 Islamic banks across 15 countries from 2012 to 2023, it documents a negatively significant influence of board size, independence, and expertise on REM. The influence of board's diligence, however, is absent. The study further notes that the SSB index moderates the effect of BOD attributes on REM in Islamic banks. The findings hold important implications for policymakers and regulators in shaping regulations on SSB and BOD oversight functions to curb REM practices. The study also contributes to the literature by offering further empirical evidence on the relationship between corporate governance and REM in Islamic banks.

Abstract

The increasing popularity of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) as a health supplement has created opportunities for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the health product market. However, issues such as exaggerated health claims, inconsistent product quality, lack of regulatory certifications, and insufficient consumer education have contributed to declining trust among digital consumers. This study explores how digital transformation can enhance consumer trust in ACV products through a qualitative approach involving in-depth interviews with ACV producers and digital content analysis. The findings reveal that many producers lack standardization in quality control, face challenges in obtaining legal certification (BPOM, halal), and underutilize digital platforms for health education. As a solution, the study proposes a strategic framework based on a digitally adapted Business Model Canvas, which integrates transparent product labeling, educational digital content, and trust signals such as verified reviews and interactive consumer engagement. This digital strategy not only strengthens brand credibility but also addresses health risks associated with improper ACV use, promoting safer and more informed consumption. The research contributes to the literature on digital business strategies for functional health products and provides a practical roadmap for MSMEs to build consumer trust through quality, legality, and education.
