Abstract

This article explores the central role of axiology in the development of contemporary science, focusing on the dimensions of scientists' values, ethics, and moral responsibility. Through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates philosophy of science, applied ethics, and contemporary case studies, this article outlines how axiology serves as a normative compass in directing the advancement of science to remain on the side of humanity. The findings suggest that modern technological challenges such as artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and ecological crises demand deeper axiological reflection to ensure that science contributes to human emancipation, not technocratic domination. This article concludes that an axiological understanding is not only theoretically important, but also essential in shaping responsible and sustainable research policies.

Abstract

The research shows that AI and ML can make data more consistent. AI and ML can accelerate the preparation of financial reports. AI and ML can improve the accuracy of decisions. However, the use of AI and ML still faces challenges. These challenges include data quality, algorithm bias, ethical issues, and data privacy risks. All of these can threaten the integrity and reliability of financial information. This study concludes that although AI and ML contribute significantly to strengthening accounting practices and are in line with the objectives of the conceptual framework, their implementation needs to be accompanied by ethical guidelines and strong data governance to ensure reliability, transparency, and accountability in financial reporting.

Abstract

This study empirically examines and analyzes the influence of Current Ratio (CR) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on Return on Assets (ROA) in food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), particularly in the post-COVID-19 pandemic period COVID-19 (2023-2024). This period is crucial because the food and beverage sector, although sensitive to changes in consumer trends and fluctuations in raw material costs, has proven to be resilient and even managed to achieve net profits without significant disruption during the pandemic. This study found that the Current Ratio does not have a significant effect on Return on Assets (ROA), while the Debt-to-Equity Ratio has a negative and significant effect on ROA. These findings indicate that the higher the level of leverage or a company's dependence on debt, the lower the resulting profitability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability and capital structure on the value of companies in the food and beverage (F&B) sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the COVID-19 recovery period from 2021 to 2024. Using a quantitative approach and multiple linear regression analysis of 12 companies that met the purposive sampling criteria, this study found that profitability had a positive and significant effect on company value. In contrast, capital structure had a negative and significant effect. These results indicate that the ability to generate profits is a strong signal for investors, while high debt levels lower market perception. Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect, although their contribution is limited.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of ESG disclosure on firm value in 35 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2024. Using a quantitative method with simple linear regression analysis, the result shows that ESG disclosure does not have a significant effect on firm value (sig. 0.480 > 0.05). The average level of ESG disclosure reached 90.26%, but the average Tobin's Q value of 0.4563 indicates undervaluation. This finding indicates that investors in Indonesian capital market are still more focusing on short-term financial performance indicators than sustainability factors. This study contributes to the ESG literature in emerging capital markets by confirming mixed findings in the relationship between ESG disclosure and firm value.

Abstract

This community service aims to strengthen the academic community's understanding of the ontology of social sciences, particularly in relation to agency, structure, and social causality in the context of the digital age. Activities are carried out through in-depth literature reviews and the development of easily accessible educational materials to improve the philosophical literacy of educators and researchers. The process of service includes identifying key concepts, analyzing contemporary theories, and compiling applicable educational summaries. As a result, the target community gains a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of social reality and the epistemological challenges that arise. The contribution of this activity lies in providing a conceptual foundation that strengthens the quality of social research in the academic environment

Abstract

This study examines the role of philosophy in shaping research ethics in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). By conducting a literature review of sources on the philosophy of science and technological advancement. This study emphasizes how the three main pillars of philosophy – ontology, epistemology, and axiology – provide an important basis for scientific practice in the midst of increasingly complex technological advances. The research findings show that AI advances are not only changing the way methodologies are conducted in research but also bring up ethical issues such as bias in algorithms, the need for transparency in decision-making, and the loss of human accountability. Philosophy has an important role to play in offering a conceptual framework for understanding the moral and epistemological impacts of the application of AI, while science presents an empirical approach to ensure that technology is used in a responsible manner.

Abstract

The research problem focuses on how this policy is implemented and how an implementation model is formed within the context of a regional higher education institution. The study applies Van Meter and Van Horn’s theory to examine policy implementation indicators and Ansell and Gash’s model to analyze the collaborative process. The research method used is qualitative with a case study design through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings show that the implementation of the Impactful Campus Policy has provided a positive direction. However, it continues to encounter challenges related to limited preparation, coordination, and collaboration mechanisms. The emerging implementation model represents a combination of policy clarity and multi-stakeholder collaboration that contributes to academic and social impacts in Bima.
