Abstract

This study aims to explore the level of parental knowledge regarding the Gluten-Free Sugar-Free (GFSF) diet and to identify the various challenges they face in its implementation for children with special needs. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 48 participating parents. Results showed that 50% of respondents had a high level of knowledge about the GFSF diet, 37.5% had moderate knowledge, and 12.5% had basic knowledge. No respondents had low knowledge. However, all respondents (100%) reported experiencing significant challenges in implementing the GFSF diet, including difficulties in accessing food ingredients, costs, and lack of practical knowledge. These findings indicate the need for more targeted interventions to support parents in overcoming these challenges, including improving the accessibility and affordability of GFSF products and providing educational programs tailored to their specific needs. This study provides important insights for developing effective strategies to support the health and well-being of children with special needs through the GFSF diet.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of financial technology (fintech) strategies in addressing financial inequality and improving access to financial services in Indonesia. Fintech, through innovations like e-wallets, technology-driven lending, and micro-investments, plays a crucial role in promoting financial inclusion, especially for communities underserved by traditional banking systems. By leveraging digital platforms, fintech can offer affordable and accessible financial services to a broader segment of the population, particularly in rural or remote areas where conventional financial institutions have limited reach. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review of reports and publications from reputable sources, such as Bank Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and global fintech industry analyses from the past decade. The findings emphasize three key pillars for effectively reducing financial gaps: fostering collaboration between traditional financial institutions and fintech companies, enhancing financial and digital literacy, and strengthening regulatory frameworks and digital infrastructure. Through these strategies, fintech has the potential to drive economic growth, reduce poverty, and promote social welfare. The study concludes that fintech can be a catalyst for creating an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable financial system, thus contributing to Indonesia’s overall development and social well-being. These strategies align with broader efforts to build a more resilient and inclusive economy.

Abstract

Income inequality is an economic problem that still exists in various countries due to uneven income distribution. ASEAN is an organization for cooperation among Southeast Asian countries where, in terms of economic growth, each country has significant differences. In addition, in terms of trade balance, Singapore has the highest trade value, while Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand have trade deficits. Of course, there are many other factors that illustrate inequality in ASEAN countries, such as foreign investment, economic complexity index, and unemployment rates. Based on the results of the study, GDP per capita has a positive and significant effect on income inequality, foreign investment (FDI) has a significant and negative effect on income inequality, the economic complexity index has no significant effect and a negative effect on income inequality, and unemployment has a significant and positive effect on income inequality. Abstrak  Ketimpangan pendapatan merupakan masalah ekonomi yang masih terjadi di berbagai negara akibat distribusi pendapatan yang tidak merata. ASEAN merupakan organisasi Kerjasama antar negara Asia Tenggara dimana melihat dari pertumbuhan ekonomi setiap negara memiliki perbedaan yang cukup signifikan, selain itu dilihat dari neraca perdagangan dimana Singapura memiliki nilai perdagangan tertinggi, sedangkan Indonesia, Malaysia, dan Thailand mengalami defisit perdangan. Tentunya masih banyak faktor lain yang menggambarkan ketimpangan di negara-negara ASEAN seperti, investasi luar negeri, indeks kompleksitas ekonomi, dan tingkat pengangguran. Sehingga perlu untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi ketimpangan pendapatan di ASEAN. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian PDB per kapita berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan, Investasi luar negeri (FDI) berpengaruh signifikan dan negatif terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan Indeks Kompleksitas Ekonomi tidak berpengaruh signifikan dan berpengaruh negatif terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan. Pengangguran berpengaruh signifikan dan positif terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan.

Abstract

Kebijakan Open Government di tingkat daerah menjadi salah satu pilar penting dalam mewujudkan tata kelola pemerintahan yang transparan, akuntabel, serta partisipatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi implementasi Open Government pada pemerintah daerah melalui tiga dimensi utama: transparansi informasi publik, keterlibatan warga, serta pemanfaatan teknologi digital sebagai infrastruktur pendukung. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi eksploratif, penelitian ini menelusuri regulasi formal, praktik digitalisasi, dan persepsi publik yang membentuk dinamika keterbukaan di daerah. Hasil kajian literatur menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas fiskal, otonomi daerah, dan aktivitas ekonomi lokal menjadi determinan penting dalam meningkatkan transparansi, sementara faktor demografis seperti rasio penduduk lanjut usia dapat memperlambat penerapan digitalisasi. Digitalisasi, terutama melalui portal e-budgeting dan sistem informasi pemerintahan seperti SIPD, terbukti meningkatkan akses warga terhadap data publik serta memperkuat akuntabilitas. Namun, efektivitas partisipasi publik masih dihambat oleh forum musyawarah yang belum inklusif dan belum sepenuhnya dirancang sebagai ruang deliberatif. Kesenjangan antara desain regulatif dan praktik di lapangan menunjukkan perlunya reformasi mekanisme partisipatif yang lebih terbuka, representatif, dan berbasis teknologi. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa keberhasilan Open Government mensyaratkan integrasi yang harmonis antara regulasi yang jelas, kapasitas kelembagaan, kualitas teknologi informasi, serta pelibatan warga yang bermakna. Temuan ini diharapkan menjadi dasar bagi perumusan model implementasi Open Government yang adaptif terhadap konteks daerah serta mampu memperkuat kepercayaan publik dalam jangka panjang.
