Abstract

The development of digital technology and the increase in online shopping activities have driven changes in consumer behavior, particularly in the purchase decision-making process. This study aims to systematically examine how trust, electronic word of mouth (e-WOM), and social proof are implemented and contribute to consumer purchasing decisions. Through a systematic literature review method, this article analyzes a number of relevant and current scientific literatures to identify patterns, relationships, and important findings of the three variables. The results show that trust is the main basis in creating consumer confidence in online transactions, e-WOM acts as a trusted source of information because it comes from fellow users, while social proof provides indirect social influence through indicators of popularity and social validation. These three variables significantly influence consumer purchase intention and behavior in the digital era.

Abstract

In carrying out their duties and authorities, a notary is required to comply with various legal provisions governing their profession. One of the main principles that must be upheld by a notary is the principle of independence as stipulated in Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning Notary Position (UUJN). This research uses normative research methods. The reason for using normative research in this study is because in the problem under study, the author will identify Notary Independence in Legal Practice in Indonesia Based on the Notarial Law. Notaries must maintain neutrality, namely not taking sides with one party or certain interests, so as not to damage the principle of public trust in the notary profession. The Notary Position Law has provided a strong legal basis for notaries to carry out their duties independently and professionally.

Abstract

To counter China's aggressive behavior in the Indo-Pacific, the United States, the Philippines, Japan, and Australia have formed a security partnership called “The Squad.” This study utilizes an intrinsic case study approach in qualitative methods to investigate the key actors, processes, and issues within The Squad, as well as its potential benefits and risks. Defense diplomacy and minilateralism are essential tools The Squad uses to achieve its strategic objectives. By leveraging their historical ties and shared interests, these countries aim to uphold a rules-based order, deter aggression, and ensure freedom of navigation. However, The Squad must also consider broader regional dynamics and the principles of ASEAN. Its success will depend on effective cooperation, adaptability to geopolitical dynamics, and the ability to tackle emerging challenges.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze naval base integration with coastal communities in Indonesia's strategic maritime zones to enhance maritime defense capabilities. Located at Naval Base Lanal Banten, the study examines the implementation of the Kampung Bahari Nusantara (KBN) program at three locations: Pulau Cangkir Kronjo, Pulo Panjang, and Sumur. Employing qualitative methods, data was collected through literature review and case study involving interviews with key informants. The findings reveal the KBN program's significant growth, expanding to 212 locations nationwide by 2024. Formal partnerships with government agencies demonstrate an integrated approach combining maritime security and community development. The program faces coordination challenges due to divergent institutional priorities and resource constraints. Recommendations include strengthening institutional frameworks, developing sustainable resource management, and enhancing capacity building.

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are important contributors to Indonesia's economic progress, as demonstrated by the substantial support these businesses provide to the nation's economic progress. Coco Laundry is engaged in laundry services and has been running for 5 years and has not yet implemented SAK EMKM. The financial statements in accordance with SAK EMKM consist of the Statement of Financial Position, Income Statement, and Notes to Financial Statements. This research uses descriptive research methods based on case studies. The results showed that the Coco Laundry business has not prepared a comprehensive financial report and is not in accordance with SAK EMKM. The shortcomings are caused by a lack of understanding of the accounting practices and standards needed in preparing financial statements.
