Abstract

This study investigates the effect of school transparency and principal competence on the effectiveness of budget management in elementary schools in Bandung Regency. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 65 respondents from selected schools. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that both school transparency and principal competence positively and significantly influence budget management effectiveness. Furthermore, these two factors jointly explain 67% of the variance in budget management effectiveness. The results highlight the critical role of transparent practices and leadership competence in optimizing financial resource management in educational institutions. The study recommends enhancing transparency mechanisms and providing targeted leadership training for school principals to improve budget management outcomes.

Abstract

The ability to write short stories is one of the important competencies in learning Indonesian, but in reality, many students still experience difficulties in developing intrinsic elements of short stories such as plot, characters, conflict, and effective use of language. Based on the results of initial observations in grade IX of Budhi Mulia Integrated Junior High School, it was found that students' short story writing skills were in the poor category, with an average score of 59.8, and only 28% of students achieved the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM). This condition indicates the need for learning strategies that can significantly improve students' creativity, motivation, and writing skills. Therefore, this study aims to improve short story writing skills through the application of the Cooperative Learning method assisted by the educational video "7 Habits of Great Indonesian Children." This study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with the Kemmis and McTaggart model which was implemented in two cycles. The research instruments included short story writing tests, student and teacher activity observation sheets, interview guidelines, and documentation. Data were analyzed using quantitative analysis techniques in the form of calculating the average test results and the percentage of learning completion. The results showed a significant increase in short story writing skills. The average student score increased from 59.8 (pretest) to 72.4 in cycle I, and increased again to 80.2 in cycle II. The percentage of learning completion also increased from 28% to 76%, and finally reached 92% in cycle II. Educational videos were proven to help students understand character values and explore ideas, while the Cooperative Learning model increased group interaction, discussion, and creativity. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Cooperative Learning method assisted by educational videos is effective in improving the short story writing skills of grade IX students.

Abstract

The rapid development of financial technology has reshaped the delivery of financial services, including those based on Islamic principles. Generation Z, as a digitally native generation, represents a strategic segment for expanding sharia financial inclusion. This study aims to analyze the contribution of sharia fintech and digital literacy in increasing Generation Z’s interest in accessing sharia financial services in Central Java. A quantitative research approach was employed, using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 85 respondents. The measurement instrument applied a Likert scale, and the data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicate that sharia fintech has a positive and significant effect on Generation Z’s interest in accessing sharia financial services. Digital literacy also shows a positive and significant influence on interest. Simultaneously, sharia fintech and digital literacy significantly contribute to increasing Generation Z’s interest in accessing sharia financial services. These findings highlight the importance of integrating sharia-compliant digital financial innovation with efforts to improve digital literacy in order to strengthen Islamic financial inclusion among young consumers. The study provides practical implications for sharia financial institutions, fintech providers, educators, and policymakers in developing strategies that align with the characteristics and needs of Generation Z.

Abstract

Household food and packaging waste sit at the intersection of everyday routines and municipal service systems. Equity problems emerge when participation costs such as time, distance, storage space, and digital requirements are unevenly distributed across households. This systematic literature review synthesizes 55 Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 2020 and 2025, screened and reported using PRISMA 2020. We organize the evidence into four themes: equity determinants (gendered household labor, education-related competencies, and digital connectivity), service design mediators (coverage, proximity, pickup reliability, cleanliness, and rule clarity), measurement and bias in household waste quantification (self-report, diaries, weighing, composition audits, and smart sensing), and equity performance of packaging-oriented instruments (pay-as-you-throw pricing, deposit-return systems, extended producer responsibility, and refill or reuse models). Across contexts, equity effects are conditional on access: service reliability and convenience often explain intention-behavior gaps more than attitudes alone. Self-report methods frequently underestimate waste and overstate pro-environmental practices, while high-burden protocols risk excluding time-constrained households and biasing subgroup comparisons. We conclude with an access-first implementation roadmap and an equity-credible evaluation checklist combining affordability safeguards, low-technology participation pathways, and mixed-method measurement designs.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies has encouraged Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt more advanced marketing strategies to remain competitive. This study investigates the impact of IoT marketing automation and data quality on the sales growth of fashion MSMEs in West Java. A quantitative research approach was employed using primary data collected from 250 fashion MSME owners and managers through a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, applying descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that IoT marketing automation has a positive and significant effect on sales growth, demonstrating that automated and data-driven marketing activities enhance marketing efficiency and customer engagement. Data quality also shows a positive and significant effect on sales growth, highlighting the importance of accurate, complete, timely, and relevant data in supporting effective marketing and sales decisions. Furthermore, the simultaneous analysis reveals that IoT marketing automation and data quality jointly contribute significantly to explaining sales growth among fashion MSMEs. These findings suggest that successful digital transformation in MSMEs requires not only the adoption of IoT-based marketing technologies but also strong data management practices. The study provides practical insights for MSME practitioners and policymakers in designing strategies to strengthen digital capabilities and improve business performance in the fashion sector.
