Abstract

General Background: Earnings management remains a critical concern in financial reporting, especially in sectors with high capital intensity like property and real estate. Specific Background: In Indonesia, such practices are increasingly scrutinized due to inconsistent findings regarding the roles of tax planning, deferred tax burden, leverage, firm size, and institutional ownership. Knowledge Gap: Few studies explore the moderating effect of profitability on these variables in earnings management, particularly in the post-pandemic period. Aims: This study investigates the influence of tax planning, deferred tax burden, firm size, leverage, and institutional ownership on earnings management, with profitability as a moderating variable, using 549 firm-year observations from 183 IDX-listed companies (2020–2023). Results: Results show leverage and deferred tax burden significantly affect earnings management. Profitability moderates the effects of deferred tax burden, leverage, and institutional ownership, while it has no moderating effect on tax planning or firm size. Novelty: This study provides new insights into the contingent role of profitability in shaping earnings management behaviors in emerging markets. Implications: The findings contribute to refining financial governance strategies, guiding investor risk assessments, and informing regulators on industry-specific supervisory frameworks that enhance financial reporting transparency.Highlight : Profitability as Moderator – Profitability affects the strength of the relationship between key financial factors and earnings management. Sector Focused – The study targets property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Tax and Leverage Role – Tax planning and leverage significantly influence earnings management practices. Keywords : Earnings Management, Profitability, Moderating Variable, Property and Real Estate, Indonesian Stock Exchange

Abstract

General Background: In the wake of adopting IFRS 9, commercial banks are required to apply a forward-looking approach in estimating credit losses, aiming to enhance financial transparency and risk management. Specific Background: Iraqi private commercial banks have faced significant challenges in adapting to this paradigm, particularly due to volatile economic conditions and operational inefficiencies. Knowledge Gap: Despite IFRS 9's relevance, limited empirical analysis exists on how expected credit losses (ECL) affect profitability in emerging markets like Iraq. Aims: This study investigates the impact of ECL on net profit among a sample of Iraqi private commercial banks between 2021 and 2023, focusing on compliance with IFRS 9 and its effect on financial performance. Results: The findings reveal that higher ECLs significantly reduce net profits, especially in banks with high default rates and inconsistent risk practices. Additionally, discrepancies in IFRS 9 compliance contributed to inaccuracies in loss estimations. Novelty: Unlike previous research, this study provides a detailed sector-specific empirical analysis linking regulatory standards to profitability outcomes in a high-risk economic environment. Implications: Strengthening compliance with IFRS 9, enhancing disclosure, and reforming regulatory provisions could mitigate the adverse effects of ECL on profit, thereby reinforcing financial stability in Iraq's banking sector.Highlights: IFRS 9 impact – Adoption of IFRS 9 led to a forward-looking loss model, affecting how banks recognize credit losses and report profits. Profit reduction – Higher expected credit losses correlate directly with decreased net profits, especially in banks with weak credit risk management. Disclosure gaps – Variations in compliance and lack of transparency in financial disclosures hinder effective decision-making and risk evaluation Keywords: Expected Credit Losses, IFRS 9, Net Profit, Private Banks, Credit Risk

Abstract

General Background: Tourism is a key sector in regional economic development, with beach destinations in Padang contributing significantly to local income. Specific Background: Nirwana Beach, despite its natural beauty and strategic location, lags behind competitors like Air Manis and Carocok due to limited promotion, service quality, and facility development. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies on coastal tourism marketing in Indonesia rarely focus on local destinations using the 7P marketing mix framework. Aims: This study aims to analyze the implementation of the 7P marketing mix (product, price, place, promotion, people, process, physical evidence) to enhance the competitiveness of Nirwana Beach. Results: The study reveals strengths in product and pricing but identifies significant weaknesses in digital promotion, service process, human resources, and physical facilities. Novelty: Methodologically, this research applies thematic analysis with NVivo software, which is rare in coastal tourism studies, and contributes to the adaptation of service quality and destination competitiveness frameworks in local contexts. Implications: Practical recommendations include enhancing digital marketing, improving human resources through training, and integrating services digitally. Theoretically, the study broadens the application of marketing mix theories to small-scale beach destinations, supporting policy and managerial decisions in sustainable tourism development.Highlight : Analysis of the 7P strategy shows that the elements of promotion, human resources, and service processes are still the main weak points of Nirwana Beach. The destination's main strengths lie in its natural beauty and competitive pricing, but the lack of product diversification limits its appeal. Strategy recommendations emphasize the importance of digitizing promotions, HR training, and developing physical facilities to improve competitiveness.

Abstract

General Background: In Islamic education, fostering both knowledge and character is central to achieving holistic learning outcomes. Specific Background: However, traditional teaching methods in subjects like Akidah Akhlak often fail to engage students effectively, resulting in low academic performance. Knowledge Gap: There is limited empirical evidence on the role of active learning strategies, such as crossword puzzles, in enhancing religious education outcomes, particularly when combined with student activeness. Aims: This study aims to investigate the effects of the crossword puzzle learning strategy and student activeness on the learning outcomes of Akidah Akhlak among fifth-grade students at MIN 3 Kota Medan. Results: Using a 2x2 factorial quasi-experimental design, findings from ANOVA revealed significant main effects of both the crossword puzzle strategy and student activeness, as well as their interaction, on learning outcomes. Novelty: This study introduces the integration of crossword puzzles—a typically secular and recreational activity—into religious education as an innovative pedagogical tool. Implications: The findings suggest that combining interactive strategies with increased student participation can significantly improve cognitive and affective learning in Akidah Akhlak, thereby offering a promising model for enhancing Islamic learning environments in primary education.Highlight : Crossword puzzle strategies have been proven to improve students' learning outcomes in Akidah Akhlak.

Abstract

General Background: Service quality in railway transport, especially in hygiene-based roles such as On Train Cleaning (OTC), is crucial to ensuring passenger comfort and satisfaction. Specific Background: PT KAI (Persero) Daop IV Semarang faces persistent challenges in maintaining cleaning standards, potentially rooted in internal workforce dynamics. Knowledge Gap: While prior studies have examined discipline, supervision, and organizational culture individually, their integrated impact on service quality within the railway cleaning context remains underexplored. Aims: This study aims to investigate the simultaneous influence of employee discipline, supervision, and organizational culture on the quality of OTC services. Results: Using a quantitative approach with 160 respondents and multiple linear regression, the study found that discipline (β = 0.234; p = 0.001) and organizational culture (β = 0.215; p = 0.013) significantly affect service quality, while supervision has no significant effect (β = 0.016; p = 0.839). The model explains 17.1% of service quality variance. Novelty: This research integrates three variables within a specialized operational setting—OTC in railway transport—rarely highlighted in previous studies. Implications: The findings suggest PT KAI should prioritize discipline and cultural reinforcement over supervisory interventions to elevate cleaning service standards and improve customer satisfaction.Highlight : Discipline and organizational culture contribute significantly to improving the quality of OTC services. Supervision does not have a significant influence, although it remains important to review. The study highlights the importance of internal factors in supporting train cleaning services.
