Abstract

This study examines the impact of social media on public opinion formation in the post-truth era, characterized by the spread of biased or inaccurate information. Social media platforms, while facilitating information dissemination, often contribute to the creation of echo chambers and filter bubbles, shaping political perceptions and influencing public discourse. Through a qualitative approach, this research investigates how misinformation and disinformation campaigns leverage social media to manipulate public opinion and the role of education and policy regulation in counteracting these effects. The findings provide insights into regulatory frameworks and digital literacy strategies needed to mitigate the adverse effects of social media on political opinion.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has created new opportunities to improve agricultural marketing systems, particularly for smallholder farmers who often face limited market access and long supply chains dominated by intermediaries. This study investigated the influence of agricultural e-commerce on enhancing the income of smallholder farmers and developments in the supply chain in the Garut region of West Java. The present study collected and analyzed quantitative and qualitative data using a mixed-method approach, surveying 250 smallholder farmers who use e-commerce platforms. It was found from the results that the adoption of e-commerce significantly increased farmers' monthly income from an average of 2.85 million to 4.15 million rupiah. The structure of the supply chain has also altered, with a significant reduction in the number of intermediaries from 3-4 to 1-2 intermediaries. Conversely, farmers' shares of the final price of products in cases such as organic vegetables have increased by 78 percent. Regression analysis further verified that factors such as education level, digital literacy, and the reduction of intermediaries have contributed most to explaining income changes. Though the findings showed the relative success of these platforms, some major challenges were pinpointed, such as logistics costs at a score of 4.6 and limited digital literacy at a score of 4.2. This paper concludes that agricultural e-commerce development relies on simultaneous consideration of the three axes: logistics infrastructure development, enhancement of digital capability by farmers, and adjustment in cultivation patterns.

Abstract

Corporate financial performance evaluation is essential for guiding strategic decision-making by managers, investors, and stakeholders, yet raw financial data alone provides limited insight without a structured interpretive framework. This study aims to evaluate the financial performance of PT Dunia Virtual Online Tbk by applying four profitability ratios Gross Profit Margin (GPM), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE) simultaneously within a unified analytical framework. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, with data sourced from the company's audited financial statements for the period ending 31 March 2025. Each ratio was calculated using standardized formulas derived from the income statement and balance sheet, encompassing net sales of IDR 14,567,561,590, cost of goods sold of IDR 6,917,131,209, net income of IDR 2,028,267,985, total assets of IDR 301,240,237,537, and total equity of IDR 234,410,798,865. The results show that GPM reached 52.52%, reflecting strong production cost efficiency; NPM was recorded at 13.92%, indicating effective overall cost management; while ROA and ROE were notably low at 0.67% and 0.87% respectively, suggesting that the company's substantial asset and equity base has not yet been fully optimized to generate proportional returns. These findings reveal a dual performance profile: high operational efficiency at the production and cost management level, contrasted with low capital utilization efficiency—consistent with characteristics of a company in an active investment and asset accumulation phase. This study concludes that an integrated multi-ratio approach yields a more comprehensive and diagnostically precise assessment of corporate financial health than single-indicator analysis, offering actionable insights for both internal management and external investors.
