Abstract

The rapid digital transformation and growing popularity of cryptocurrencies have reshaped investment behavior worldwide, particularly in emerging economies where access to digital assets is expanding alongside financial literacy challenges. This study aimed to systematically examine the influence of knowledge, experience, risk tolerance, and peer influence on individual interest in investing in crypto assets within the cryptocurrency community in Palembang City. This study employed a causal associative approach with a quantitative approach. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 225 participants, identified based on research criteria and representing members of the crypto community. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS software version 4.1.0.9. The analysis findings indicate that, partially, the variables knowledge, experience, and peer influence significantly influence interest in investing in cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, risk tolerance did not have a significant effect. A simultaneous review of all four variables demonstrated a strong statistical relationship with an individual’s interest in investing. The findings of this study align with the concept of the theory of planned behavior, which theoretically emphasizes that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceptions of self-control play a key role in shaping an individual’s interest in taking a particular action.

Abstract

Islamic banking in Indonesia continues to grow, yet its performance evaluation often overlooks the broader ethical and social objectives of Sharia principles. This study employs the Sharia Maqashid Index (SMI) and the Sharia Conformity and Profitability (SCnP) frameworks to evaluate the performance of Indonesia’s Islamic Regional Development Banks (BPD Syariah) from 2020 to 2024. It assesses both their adherence to sharia principles and their financial outcomes. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the research analyzes secondary data drawn from the annual financial reports of BPD Syariah institutions. Findings indicate a positive relationship between the SMI and financial performance. For instance, Bank NTB Syariah and Bank Aceh Syariah demonstrate high levels of sharia compliance and strong profitability. In contrast, banks such as Bank Sumut and Bank Nagari, which show lower levels of sharia conformity, tend to be less profitable. These results highlight the importance of aligning sharia compliance with financial performance to ensure the long-term viability of Islamic banking. The study contributes to existing literature by integrating sharia compliance into financial performance evaluations of Islamic banks. It underscores the necessity of embedding Sharia governance and ethical banking practices into the core business strategies of BPD Syariah in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of asset retirement obligations and firm size on environmental, social, and governance disclosure, with Sharia index inclusion as a moderating factor among mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021 to 2024. The aim is to assess how environmental liabilities and organizational resources affect environmental, social, and governance disclosure and whether Sharia compliance modifies these relationships, contributing to ESG and Islamic finance literature. The research analyzes panel data from mining firms using moderated regression to evaluate the impact of asset retirement obligations, firm size, and Sharia index inclusion on environmental, social, and governance disclosure. Findings show that of asset retirement obligations and firm size positively influence ESG disclosure, driven by transparency needs and resource availability. However, Sharia index inclusion does not strengthen the asset retirement obligations environmental, social, and governance link, as firms view reclamation as a financial burden rather than a sustainability commitment. Conversely, it enhances the firm size-environmental, social, and governance relationship, reflecting higher stakeholder expectations for Sharia-compliant firms. The study highlights of asset retirement obligations and firm size as key drivers of ESG disclosure, with Sharia compliance amplifying the size effect but not environmental commitments. It offers practical insights for regulators, investors, and managers to foster sustainable governance in resource-intensive sectors.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of product innovation, community asset-based development, and proactive marketing on sustainable competitive advantage by considering the moderating role of digital technology in micro, small, and medium enterprises in Muna Regency. This study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design and involved 214 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a closed-ended questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that product innovation had a significant effect on proactive marketing, but did not have a direct effect on sustainable competitive advantage. Conversely, the effect of product innovation on sustainable competitive advantage was mediated by proactive marketing. In addition, community asset-based development was shown to have a positive effect on both proactive marketing and sustainable competitive advantage. Proactive marketing itself made a significant contribution to sustainable competitive advantage. Digital technology has a diverse moderating role, namely strengthening the relationship between community asset-based development and sustainable competitive advantage, but weakening the relationship between product innovation and sustainable competitive advantage, and not significantly affecting the relationship between proactive marketing and sustainable competitive advantage. These findings underscore the importance of integrating innovation, community, marketing, and digital technology into MSME strategies to build sustainable competitiveness amidst market dynamics.

Abstract

The increasing demand for fast, accurate, and efficient healthcare services has encouraged hospitals to integrate technology into their operations. This study aims to analyze the impact of implementing the Hospital Management Information System on the quality of operational services in the registration department of Aek Kanopan Regional General Hospital. A descriptive quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design was used to measure changes in employees’ perceptions before and after system implementation. Data were collected from 60 employees selected from a total of 150 using Slovin’s formula with a 10% margin of error, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed an increase in the mean score of the Hospital Management Information System from 19.9 to 20.6 and in service quality from 20.3 to 20.9, with significance values of 0.007 and 0.029 (p < 0.05), indicating significant improvement. The system enhanced work efficiency, service speed, data accuracy, and inter-unit coordination, although issues such as limited training and network instability remain challenges. Strengthening infrastructure, providing continuous training, and regular evaluations are recommended to optimize the system’s effectiveness and improve hospital service quality.

Abstract

The value of a company is a crucial indicator for investors as it reflects management’s effectiveness and future growth prospects. In Indonesia’s manufacturing sector, fluctuations in company value often arise from both governance and financial decisions, making it important to explore internal determinants. This study aims to empirically test whether profitability can moderate the influence of independent commissioners and capital structure on company value. This study uses secondary data from financial reports of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2021-2023. There were 84 populations in this study, then based on the criteria, 33 samples were obtained with a research period of 3 years, resulting in 99 samples. The results of this study indicate that profitability can moderate the effect of independent commissioners on company value, but profitability is less able to moderate the effect of capital structure on company value. The results reveal that independent commissioners and capital structure significantly affect company value. Profitability strengthens the effect of independent commissioners but does not moderate the impact of capital structure. These findings highlight the importance of governance effectiveness and financial strategies in enhancing firm value while emphasizing profitability as a catalyst for governance effectiveness.

Abstract

Smart Circular Agriculture links Internet of Things monitoring with zero-waste practices to improve efficiency and resilience. This study examines how the approach works in Sleman Regency and what sustains adoption. Using a qualitative explanatory sequential design, a descriptive survey mapped adoption, input efficiency, and waste handling. Follow-up interviews and field observations were then explained in terms of mechanisms, constraints, and enablers through the Miles and Huberman cycle. Findings show that moisture-triggered irrigation, app-based scheduling, and microclimate management reduced over-irrigation, stabilized nutrient dosing, and improved product uniformity. Circular routines, including residue composting, liquid organic fertilizer preparation, and simple water harvesting, lowered unmanaged organics and reduced purchased inputs. Complementarities between sensing-driven control and circular resource cycling were strongest in greenhouses, where reliability and quality premiums justified investment. Adoption reflected demographic and institutional contours; millennial farmers and enterprise-oriented producers led uptake, while diffusion depended on demonstration, maintenance, and financing. Smart Circular Agriculture is a pathway for digital transformation in Sleman. The study shows how digital feedback and circular flows co-produce agronomic benefits. Practice and policy should prioritize seasonal financing, after-sales service, integrated training, and standards for compost and liquid biofertilizer, while leveraging greenhouse clusters for scalable, sustained production.

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in shaping students’ character, fostering traits like responsibility, discipline, and independence, beyond mere knowledge transfer. However, issues such as rule violations and lack of self-awareness among students highlight the need for effective character education strategies. This study aims to examine how positive discipline, a humanistic approach emphasizing self-awareness and responsibility without physical or verbal punishment, strengthens character education in high schools. Using a descriptive qualitative literature review, data were collected from journal articles, academic books, and official education reports. The findings indicate that positive discipline reduces disciplinary violations, enhances moral awareness, and creates a safe, inclusive school environment. Key supporting factors include consistent teacher practices, parental involvement, and a collaborative school culture, though challenges like punitive mindsets, time constraints, and low student awareness persist. The study concludes that positive discipline significantly enhances character education by promoting responsibility, independence, and moral integrity, offering a sustainable approach to cultivating well-rounded students. It provides practical strategies for schools to foster discipline humanely, aligning with national education goals to develop virtuous and skilled individuals, with potential to elevate character development to an excellent level.

Abstract

This research examines the structural contradiction between Article 74’s three-year trademark non-use cancellation provision in Law Number 20/2016 and the People-Based Economy principle of Article 33, 1945 Constitution. This capitalistic norm facilitated predatory litigation against vulnerable MSMEs, constituting philosophical lex injusta. Using normative juridical methodology with case and comparative law approaches, this study justifies arguments from the successful Constitutional Court petition. Constitutional Court Decision Number 144/PUU-XXI/2023 provides the judicial solution by extending non-use period to five years, resolving unconstitutionality. The study distinguishes Article 74’s objective non-use standard from Article 76’s subjective bad-faith element, establishing the former now prescribes constitutionally equitable timeframe. The five-year period aligns with SME business cycles for research, development, and market penetration, providing protection from premature cancellation threats. This judicial reform represents substantive constitutional justice, granting MSMEs legal certainty for intellectual asset development. The victory harmonizes Indonesia’s trademark law with People-Based Economy commitments. Primary recommendations include developing accessible evidentiary guidelines for trademark use documentation, particularly digital-based systems, and creating affordable platforms for SMEs to systematically document commercial activities, ensuring effective intellectual property defense within this equitable legal landscape.

Abstract

Dried noodles are a popular food in Indonesia, but their nutritional value is often limited due to high carbohydrate content. This study aimed to develop nutrient-rich dried noodles by adding tuna and skipjack fish, evaluating their sensory quality and nutritional composition to support healthier diets and food diversification. The research used a completely randomized design to compare noodles made with tuna and skipjack fish. Fifteen panelists assessed taste, color, aroma, and texture on a scale from poor to very good, while nutritional content, including moisture, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrates, was analyzed using standard laboratory methods. Results showed that skipjack noodles had higher protein (18.324%) and mineral content (1.735%) than tuna noodles (14.193% protein, 1.535% mineral), with both rated good to very good for sensory qualities, especially skipjack for its vibrant color. However, moisture levels (22–25%) exceeded industry standards, suggesting shelf-life challenges. In conclusion, both noodle types offer enhanced nutrition and consumer appeal, with skipjack noodles being more protein-rich, making them a promising option for improving dietary protein intake, though better drying methods are needed for commercial viability.
