This study examines the effect of production costs and scale efficiency on the net profit and production capacity of small and medium-sized palm oil processing businesses in South Sulawesi. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 150 respondents and analyzed with the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. The results show that production costs have a significant negative effect on net profit but do not significantly influence production capacity. Conversely, scale efficiency has a significant positive effect on both net profit and production capacity. Furthermore, production capacity mediates the relationship between scale efficiency and net profit, highlighting its strategic role in enhancing financial performance. These findings emphasize the importance of cost control measures and efficiency improvement strategies for achieving sustainable growth and competitiveness in the palm oil processing sector. The study offers managerial implications for SME owners and policy recommendations to strengthen operational performance in the industry.

This study investigates the influence of contextual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting and green supply chain accounting on cost efficiency and credit assessment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in West Java. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 250 MSME respondents through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) 3. The findings indicate that contextual ESG reporting and green supply chain accounting significantly enhance cost efficiency by reducing operational waste and optimizing resource use. Both variables also positively influence credit assessment, reflecting the growing recognition by financial institutions of sustainable business practices as indicators of financial credibility and resilience. These results highlight the dual benefits of sustainability practices, providing MSMEs with internal efficiency gains and external access to financing opportunities. The study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the relevance of ESG and green supply chain practices for MSMEs in emerging economies, offering both theoretical insights and practical implications for policymakers, business owners, and financial institutions in supporting sustainable economic development.

The accelerating biodiversity crisis has prompted a paradigm shift in the financial sector, where integrating nature into financial risk assessment is becoming increasingly vital. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to explore the intellectual landscape of biodiversity finance, focusing on how biodiversity is being incorporated into financial theory, investment practices, and sustainability governance. Using the Scopus database and VOSviewer software, the study analyzes co-occurrence networks, temporal trends, density visualizations, and collaboration patterns among authors, institutions, and countries. The findings reveal that “biodiversity,” “finance,” and “sustainable finance” serve as conceptual anchors, while emerging themes such as “decentralized finance,” “green bonds,” and “ESG” indicate growing innovation in the field. The United Kingdom and United States lead global collaborations, with strong linkages to European and Asian institutions. This research contributes theoretically by clarifying the field’s multidimensional evolution and practically by identifying knowledge gaps and strategic entry points for policy, investment, and academic advancement. Limitations include database coverage and lack of qualitative content analysis, suggesting future research directions. Overall, the study underscores the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing biodiversity-aligned financial systems.

This study investigates the intersection between Islamic popular culture and the commodification of religion through Muslim fashion products on Instagram. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three key informants: a Muslim fashion influencer, a brand owner, and a consumer of Islamic fashion. Thematic analysis was used to explore how Islamic values are represented, negotiated, and commercialized within digital fashion culture. The findings reveal that Instagram serves as a hybrid space where faith and consumerism coexist, allowing Islamic symbols such as the hijab, modest wear, and Quranic motifs to function simultaneously as expressions of piety and as marketable commodities. Influencers and brands strategically use religious narratives to establish authenticity and attract audiences seeking both spiritual meaning and lifestyle identity. Meanwhile, consumers engage with these products as markers of belonging and moral expression, despite recognizing the risk of superficial religiosity. The study concludes that Muslim fashion on Instagram exemplifies the transformation of religion into a digital commodity—where spiritual values are aestheticized, marketed, and consumed in alignment with contemporary capitalist and media logics.

This study investigates the effect of service adjustments and interactive tour guides on foreign tourists’ willingness to pay at Bali tourist destinations. The research adopts a quantitative approach using a sample of 150 foreign tourists selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via structured questionnaires measured with a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Statistical techniques included descriptive analysis, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that both service adjustments and interactive tour guides have significant and positive effects on foreign tourists’ willingness to pay. The regression model shows that these two variables collectively explain 62.1% of the variation in tourists’ willingness to pay. Service adjustments—such as cultural sensitivity, language flexibility, and personalized itineraries—enhance perceived value, while interactive guides contribute to emotional engagement and trust, thereby increasing payment intention. The study provides theoretical contributions by integrating service quality theory, customer value theory, and social exchange theory in explaining tourists’ economic behavior. Practically, it offers strategic insights for tour operators and policymakers to enhance adaptive and interactive service quality to strengthen Bali’s tourism competitiveness and sustainability.
