Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Net Working Capital (NWC) and Profitability on Firm Value with Growth Opportunity as an intervening variable in transportation and logistics sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2019–2023. The research method used is a quantitative approach with secondary data analysis obtained from the financial statements of companies listed on the IDX. The analysis technique used in this study is path analysis with the Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) approach. The results of the study show that Net Working Capital (NWC) has a significant effect on Growth Opportunity, but does not directly affect Firm Value. Profitability has a positive and significant effect on Growth Opportunity and Firm Value, indicating that companies with high profitability tend to have better firm value. In addition, Growth Opportunity acts as an intervening variable that mediates the effect of Net Working Capital and Profitability on Firm Value. The implications of this study indicate that companies in the transportation and logistics sector need to pay attention to working capital management and increase profitability in order to maximize firm value. Increasing growth opportunities through the right investment strategy can help increase the company's attractiveness in the eyes of investors and strengthen the company's financial stability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of average industrial sector wages and per capita expenditure on inflation in Kalimantan using the multiple linear regression method. The data used includes annual average industrial sector wages and per capita expenditure as independent variables, with the inflation rate as the dependent variable. The analysis results indicate that average industrial sector wages have a significant impact on inflation, while per capita expenditure contributes on a smaller scale. The applied inflation prediction model demonstrates a fairly good level of accuracy with an RMSE value of 0.010 ± 0.000. However, significant deviations between predicted and actual values were observed at certain points, such as inflation rates of 0.015 and 0.04, highlighting limitations in the model. The findings imply that an increase in industrial sector wages could drive inflation due to higher production costs passed on to consumers. Conversely, higher per capita expenditure shows a weaker correlation with inflation but still contributes to increased consumption. This study is expected to serve as a reference for policymakers in formulating more effective strategies to control inflation in Kalimantan, such as managing industrial sector wages and enhancing household purchasing power.

Abstract

Thoracic spinal anesthesia (TSA) is a regional anesthesia technique increasingly used in clinical practice as an alternative to general anesthesia, particularly in thoracoabdominal and upper extremity surgeries. This technique offers several benefits, including optimal pain control, hemodynamic stability, and faster recovery. However, the application of TSA also presents challenges, such as the need for specialized skills, the risk of hypotension, and proper patient selection. This article discusses the benefits and challenges of TSA in modern anesthesiology practice and its implications for improving patient clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Improving the quality of education is inseparable from the role of teachers as the main implementers of the learning process. Optimal teacher performance is influenced by various factors, including the principal's leadership, work discipline, and teacher commitment. This study aims to reveal how these three factors contribute to improving teacher performance at SMA Negeri 1 Takalar. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The subjects of the study were the principal and teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Takalar. The results of the study showed that school principals applied a participatory and communicative leadership style, thereby creating a conducive work environment and motivating teachers to work better. Teachers' work discipline can be seen from compliance with schedules, teaching readiness, and the implementation of orderly learning administration. Teachers' commitment is also high, reflected in their involvement in school activities and the enthusiasm for participating in professional training. These three factors support each other and significantly contribute to improving teacher performance. Thus, collaboration between the principal's leadership, discipline, and work commitment is an important foundation in creating a quality education system.

Abstract

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by a decline in cellular function and increased susceptibility to degenerative diseases. In recent decades, research has shown that epigenetic modifications—such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and regulation by non-coding RNAs—play a key role in the aging process. These changes influence gene expression without altering the DNA sequence and contribute to cellular damage, chronic inflammation, and tissue dysfunction. As scientific understanding advances, various epigenetic-based molecular interventions have emerged, including epigenetic reprogramming, senolytic therapies, and pharmacological and lifestyle approaches targeting epigenetic mechanisms. Although challenges remain in terms of safety, specificity, and clinical applicability, these approaches offer promising potential for extending healthspan and improving quality of life in later years.

Abstract

This study discusses the relationship between utilitarianism as a consequentialist ethical theory and the Christian faith, specifically how utilitarianism can give birth to a “perverse goodness” and lead people away from God. Utilitarianism judges morality based on the end result that produces the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Although seemingly noble, this approach often justifies morally wrong actions-such as lying, murder, euthanasia, sacrificing the minority for the majority, even war policies-as long as they are deemed to bring greater benefits. The results of the study show that the utilitarianism paradigm has the potential to ignore the dignity of human beings created in the image of God, give rise to moral relativism, and separate goodness from God's will. In the perspective of Christian Moral Theology and Divine Command Theory, goodness is not only measured by social consequences but also by obedience to God's command. Thus, actions that seem good according to utilitarian logic are not necessarily right according to Christian morality, because true goodness must bring people. This study confirms that the “ends justify the means” logic of utilitarianism contradicts the absolute divine moral principle. Believers are called to be wary of the pragmatic goodness that leads to deception, and to hold on to the truth of God's word, which is the highest standard of morality. Thus, this study contributes to the understanding of Christian ethics in facing modern moral challenges that are often wrapped in the pretext of public benefit.

Abstract

In the current century, there is a lot of excitement about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in human life. This includes the worlds of education, business, health and banking. The presence of AI makes it easier for everyone to carry out all their activities. AI replaces the role of humans in life. Will the AI ​​that humans have created make people more dependent on it, or will humans entrust their lives more to AI? This question will always arise from many circles. Next, how the Bible responds to this phenomenon is what we will see in this article.
