Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the Gender Empowerment Index (GEI) in Indonesia using the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) method. The variables used in this study include the proportion of women in managerial positions, women’s income contribution, the proportion of professional workers, reported health complaints, and the proportion of women in parliament. The findings indicate that, among the five independent variables examined, only two variables significantly affect the dependent variable: the proportion of women in managerial positions (X1) and the percentage of women reporting health complaints (X5). This is evidenced by their respective probability values (Pr(>F)) of 0.0045 and 0.0128, which are below the 0.05 significance threshold. This implies that X1 and X5 have a statistically significant influence in the model. The GWR model was found to be the most suitable compared to other models, with an AIC value of 186.72 and an R² of 92.03%, indicating superior model performance in capturing spatial and non-spatial effects across regions.

Abstract

This study explores the theoretical evolution of market power from classical competition toward concentrated market structures, emphasizing the dual manifestations of monopoly and monopsony. Using a systematic literature review of foundational and contemporary sources, the research traces how microeconomic theory has transitioned from equilibrium-based efficiency models to dynamic analyses of strategic behavior, information asymmetry, and digital dominance. The findings reveal that monopoly and monopsony are symmetric mechanisms of price distortion—each reducing welfare through the restriction of mutually beneficial exchanges. Monopolies elevate prices by controlling output, while monopsonies depress input prices by restricting demand, resulting in comparable deadweight losses and efficiency reductions. Empirical evidence shows that rising market concentration, particularly in digital industries, has deepened income inequality and diminished labor’s share of output. Digital platforms exemplify the convergence of monopoly and monopsony power, leveraging data analytics, algorithms, and network effects to dominate both product and labor markets. These dynamics extend traditional theories of market power beyond static frameworks, emphasizing their systemic and global nature. The study concludes that contemporary market power demands an integrated analytical and policy approach. Effective regulation must simultaneously address consumer welfare, labor market fairness, and innovation incentives. By synthesizing insights from industrial organization, welfare economics, and digital competition studies, this paper contributes to a refined understanding of how monopoly and monopsony shape economic outcomes in the twenty-first century. The results highlight the need for adaptive competition policies to preserve efficiency and equity in a data-driven global economy.

Abstract

This study conducts a ten-year systematic mapping of competitive advantage within Southeast Asia’s creative industries, synthesizing insights from interdisciplinary literature to identify the key drivers shaping competitiveness in the region. The findings reveal that competitive advantage has shifted from traditional determinants toward an integrated model driven primarily by digital capability, innovation dynamics, and ecosystem support. Digital capability emerges as the most influential factor, enabling firms to enhance visibility, accelerate market reach, and adapt to rapidly changing platform environments. Innovation capability and dynamic organizational competencies further strengthen long-term competitiveness by facilitating continuous renewal, creative experimentation, and strategic resource reconfiguration. The analysis also highlights the central role of ecosystem governance, particularly public policy, infrastructure readiness, and institutional coordination in shaping industry performance. Countries with well-developed creative ecosystems, such as Singapore and Malaysia, demonstrate higher innovation maturity and digital integration, while others rely more heavily on community-driven or informal creative clusters. Platform-based competition and the rise of creator-led economies introduce new logics of value creation, emphasizing algorithmic mastery, content interactivity, and community engagement as key competitive mechanisms. Sustainability and cultural differentiation play equally significant roles, as creative firms increasingly integrate ethical practices, cultural authenticity, and collaborative partnerships to strengthen long-term relevance. Overall, the study concludes that competitive advantages in Southeast Asia’s creative industries is formed through the synergy of digital capability, innovation, ecosystem structures, cultural assets, and sustainability. These findings underscore the need for targeted policies, regional collaboration, and strategic digital development to position Southeast Asia as a globally competitive creative hub.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Certified Internship and Independent Study Program (MSIB) in enhancing student Academic Performance and Work Readiness, focusing specifically on the integration of cross-disciplinary skills. This quantitative study employs survey data from 155 MSIB participants at Makassar State University. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to assess the influence of MSIB effectiveness on Academic Performance and Work Readiness. The regression results reveal that the MSIB Program positively and significantly influences both Academic Performance (t = 3.515, p=0.001) and Work Readiness (t = 3.284, p = 0.001). These findings suggest that MSIB serves as an effective strategic intervention, equipping students with the competencies required to compete in a job market demanding cross-disciplinary skill integration.

Abstract

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies offers novel prospects for the preservation of cultural heritage, particularly in traditional performing arts like the Pattennung dance. Representing a significant aspect of South Sulawesi's cultural identity, Pattennung encapsulates historical, social, and philosophical dimensions inherent in its choreography. However, existing challenges such as inadequate documentation, a decline in participation among younger generations, and the pervasive forces of globalization render this traditional art form vulnerable to cultural dilution and potential extinction. This article examines the multifaceted role of AI in the digitalization and preservation of Pattennung, employing techniques such as motion reconstruction, cultural databases, and immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environments to create engaging and authentic cultural experiences. While these technological innovations provide pathways for broader accessibility and educational opportunities, they also present significant challenges regarding cultural authenticity, including the risks of commodification, the reduction of rich philosophical meanings, and potential distortions of the dance's historical context. This study highlights the importance of integrating community involvement and ethical considerations in the development of AI applications to ensure that the true essence of Pattennung is preserved. By fostering collaboration among cultural practitioners, technologists, and local communities, this research argues that AI can serve as a strategic asset in the enduring effort to uphold and celebrate traditional art forms. The findings of this study aim to inform policymakers and cultural organizations on the best practices for AI implementation in cultural preservation, ultimately ensuring that innovations in technology reinforce rather than undermine the authenticity of cultural expressions. The integration of AI brings both opportunities and challenges, warranting a balanced consideration of techniques like Digital Twin Technology and immersive digital experiences that not only document but also enhance community engagement and intergenerational transmission of cultural knowledge. This research asserts that AI possesses the substantial potential to catalyze cultural preservation efforts while keeping the philosophical and contextual narratives intact, thereby enriching the cultural fabric of society.
