Abstract

Background. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through a systematic review of Scopus-indexed journal articles on fraud prevention published between 2021 and 2025. An initial search using targeted keywords yielded 4,283 articles, which were refined through specific filters, resulting in 24 articles for full-text analysis. Purpose. The findings confirm that well-designed internal controls enhance governance, reduce fraud risks, and improve organizational performance across diverse contexts such as China, France, Jordan, and Egypt. Method. The effectiveness of internal controls is shaped by institutional ownership, audit quality, digital transformation, and IT integration. Anti-fraud strategies are closely tied to transparency, monitoring, and risk management, while institutional factors like mandatory audits and ownership reforms strengthen control systems. Results. These insights suggest that managers should invest in robust, technology-supported internal controls tailored to their institutional context.   Conclusion. Future research should examine the evolving impact of digitalization and governance changes on internal control effectiveness, particularly in emerging markets and high-risk sectors.

Abstract

Background. The coral reef ecosystems of Kepulauan Seribu National Park, crucial for marine biodiversity and local livelihoods, face severe anthropogenic pressures from coastal development and tourism. Community-Based Conservation (CBC) has emerged as a vital strategy to counteract this degradation, yet its specific impacts in this high-pressure marine area require rigorous evaluation. Purpose. This research evaluates the ecological efficacy and socioeconomic contributions of established CBC programs in Kepulauan Seribu. The study investigates the key factors influencing successful community participation and the resulting impacts on coral reef health. Methods. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative ecological surveys with qualitative socioeconomic analysis. Ecological data were collected via Line Intercept Transects (LIT) at multiple CBC-managed sites and non-CBC (control) sites. Socioeconomic data were gathered through semi-structured interviews (n=120) with community members, program managers, and local stakeholders. Results. The findings indicate that CBC-managed reefs exhibited significantly higher live coral cover and greater reef fish biomass compared to control sites. Socioeconomic analysis revealed enhanced community stewardship, supplementary income streams, and increased environmental awareness. However, institutional challenges, particularly funding instability and policy conflicts with tourism development, were identified as persistent obstacles. Conclusion. Community-based conservation demonstrates tangible success in mitigating reef degradation in Kepulauan Seribu. This study concludes that while CBC is effective, its long-term sustainability hinges on strengthening institutional support, resolving resource-use conflicts, and ensuring equitable benefit sharing for participating communities.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia faces acute environmental crises, including deforestation and marine pollution, which are often disconnected from public discourse. While policy-based solutions are widely discussed, the potential of local literature as a vehicle for shaping ecological consciousness and fostering environmental ethics remains significantly underexplored in academic research. Purpose: This research aims to analyze the specific ecocritical strategies employed in contemporary Indonesian literary texts and to evaluate their effectiveness in raising environmental awareness and critiquing anthropocentric paradigms. Methods: An ecocritical textual analysis was employed as the primary research method. The study analyzed a purposive selection of prominent Indonesian novels and short stories published post-2000 that explicitly engage with themes of ecological degradation, local wisdom (kearifan lokal), and human-nature relationships. Results: The analysis reveals that these texts utilize distinct narrative techniques such as adopting non-human perspectives, invoking indigenous ecological knowledge, and portraying visceral environmental disasters to cultivate empathy. These strategies effectively translate complex ecological data into relatable affective experiences, challenging developmentalist narratives. Conclusion: Contemporary Indonesian literature functions as a vital and potent medium for environmental advocacy. By grounding ecological crises in local cultural contexts, these texts bypass defensive skepticism and successfully foster a critical environmental awareness that policy-making and scientific data alone often fail to achieve.

Abstract

Background. Chemotherapy response is highly variable, leading to ineffective treatment and toxicity. Reliable, non-invasive biomarkers to predict response a priori are urgently needed. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are stable liquid biopsy candidates, but previous studies often lack robust validation. Purpose. This study aimed to identify and validate a novel, non-invasive circulating miRNA signature to accurately predict chemotherapy response using a large-scale bioinformatic approach. Method. A comprehensive in silico study was conducted. We aggregated and harmonized 948 patient samples from five public datasets (GEO, TCGA). A machine learning pipeline (LASSO + Random Forest) was applied to a Training Set (n=664) to discover a predictive signature. The signature was then validated in an Internal Testing Set (n=284) and a separate External Validation Cohort (n=120). Results. We aggregated and harmonized 948 patient samples from five public datasets (GEO, TCGA). A machine learning pipeline (LASSO + Random Forest) was applied to a Training Set (n=664) to discover a predictive signature. The signature was then validated in an Internal Testing Set (n=284) and a separate External Validation Cohort (n=120). We identified and validated a 7-miRNA circulating signature (c-miRSig). The model demonstrated high accuracy in both the internal (AUC 0.89) and external (AUC 0.86) validation sets. Conclusion. The signature was also a powerful prognostic tool, significantly stratifying patients for progression-free survival (p < 0.001). Functional analysis linked the signature to key chemoresistance pathways (PI3K-Akt, ABC transporters). The c-miRSig is a robust, non-invasive biomarker with dual predictive and prognostic power. This computationally validated signature provides a strong foundation for a clinically viable test to personalize chemotherapy, sparing non-responders from toxic, ineffective treatment.

Abstract

  Background. Rapid tourism development in southern Bali has transformed the region into one of Indonesia’s most dynamic economic zones while simultaneously placing immense pressure on its coastal ecosystems. The expansion of hotels, restaurants, and recreational facilities has led to land-use change, increased waste discharge, shoreline modification, and coral reef degradation. The resulting imbalance between economic growth and ecological stability threatens the long-term sustainability of both the tourism industry and local livelihoods. Purpose. This study aims to examine the relationship between tourism development and coastal ecosystem degradation in southern Bali, focusing on spatial, ecological, and socio-economic dimensions. Method. A mixed-method approach was adopted, combining satellite imagery analysis, field observations, and stakeholder interviews. Spatial analysis using GIS detected changes in coastal land cover between 2010 and 2023, while qualitative data from 40 key informants including local residents, tourism operators, and environmental officials were analyzed thematically to understand community perceptions and management responses. Quantitative environmental indicators, such as water quality and coral coverage, were also integrated to assess ecological decline. Results. The findings reveal a significant correlation between the intensity of tourism infrastructure development and the deterioration of coastal ecosystems. Coral coverage declined by 38%, while mangrove areas decreased by 22% within the study period. Stakeholder interviews indicate that weak environmental regulation and poor waste management practices accelerate this degradation. Conclusion. The study concludes that sustainable tourism in southern Bali requires stronger spatial planning, community-based coastal management, and stricter enforcement of environmental standards to balance economic benefits with ecosystem preservation.

Abstract

Background. Flooding has become one of the most persistent environmental challenges in Semarang City, driven by rapid urbanization, land subsidence, and inadequate drainage systems. Conventional flood management approaches relying solely on grey infrastructure have proven insufficient to address the increasing frequency and intensity of flood events. Green infrastructure, including urban green spaces, bio-swales, retention ponds, and mangrove restoration, has emerged as a sustainable alternative that enhances natural water absorption and resilience against hydrological stress. Purpose. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of green infrastructure in mitigating floods in Semarang by assessing its hydrological, ecological, and socio-economic impacts. Method. A mixed-method approach was adopted, combining quantitative analysis of hydrological data with qualitative assessments from community surveys and expert interviews. Hydrological modeling using GIS and SWMM software was employed to simulate flood scenarios under different land-use configurations. Data on rainfall, surface runoff, and infiltration rates were collected from the Semarang Environmental and Public Works Agencies. Qualitative insights were gathered from local stakeholders to evaluate community perceptions of green infrastructure effectiveness and maintenance challenges. Results. The results indicate that green infrastructure interventions reduced peak flood levels by an average of 22–28%, improved runoff retention capacity, and enhanced groundwater recharge. Neighborhoods with integrated green spaces demonstrated greater resilience during heavy rainfall events compared to those relying solely on engineered drainage. Conclusion. The study concludes that the adoption of green infrastructure offers a cost-effective and ecologically sound strategy for urban flood mitigation in Semarang. Strengthening policy integration, maintenance systems, and community engagement is essential to sustain long-term resilience.

Abstract

Background. Compensation is one of the key aspects in determining employee performance. It becomes a critical concern for companies, as employees strive to achieve the performance standards set by the organization. Recognizing the importance of compensation in supporting performance, compensation management should be a top priority. Purpose. Timeliness and the amount of compensation provided by the company significantly influence employees’ work spirit, motivation, job performance, and overall performance. The absolute income level of employees determines their standard of living, while relative income reflects their social status and dignity. Method. Therefore, if employees perceive that the compensation they receive is inadequate, their work spirit, motivation, job performance, and overall performance may drastically decline. Results. Motivation is a condition that drives employees in a focused and goal-oriented manner to achieve company objectives. Work performance is essential for business progress since the success or failure of a business is significantly influenced by employee performance. Conclusion. The financial compensation variable (X) has a positive influence on the employee performance variable (Y) with a coefficient of 0.402. The positive coefficient indicates a direct relationship between financial compensation and employee performance. This means that any change in the financial compensation variable by one unit will result in a 0.402 change in the employee performance variable, assuming other independent variables remain constant.

Abstract

Background. Coastal communities in Indonesia depend heavily on aquaculture for economic security, yet conventional shrimp farming practices have contributed to substantial mangrove loss, declining water quality, and reduced long-term productivity. Growing recognition of these environmental challenges has led to increasing interest in integrated mangrove–shrimp farming systems as a sustainable alternative capable of balancing ecological restoration with livelihood needs. Purpose. This review aims to evaluate existing models of integrated mangrove shrimp aquaculture in Indonesia by examining their ecological performance, economic benefits, and socio-cultural relevance for coastal communities.   Method. A qualitative research design was employed using a systematic literature review of national and international studies published between 2010 and 2024, supported by thematic analysis to identify dominant patterns and gaps. Results. The findings reveal that integrated systems particularly the silvofishery model combining mangrove restoration with semi-intensive shrimp cultivation provide measurable ecological advantages, including improved water filtration, enhanced biodiversity, and reduced disease outbreaks. Economic outcomes vary but generally demonstrate increased long-term profitability due to lower input costs and more stable yields compared to conventional monoculture farms. Social acceptance is strong in communities with existing mangrove stewardship practices, although constraints such as limited technical knowledge and unclear tenure arrangements remain significant barriers. Conclusion. The study concludes that integrated mangrove–shrimp systems offer a viable sustainability pathway for Indonesian coastal regions when supported by community training, clear land-use regulations, and targeted government incentives. These models illustrate how ecological conservation and aquaculture productivity can be mutually reinforcing within community-based resource management frameworks.

Abstract

Background. The rapid expansion of the palm oil industry in Sumatra and Kalimantan has intensified concerns surrounding environmental degradation, waste accumulation, and inefficient resource utilization. Large volumes of solid and liquid waste such as empty fruit bunches, palm kernel shell, fiber, and palm oil mill effluent remain underutilized despite their substantial bioenergy potential. Assuming that all forms of biomass waste can be feasibly converted into energy risks oversimplifying the technical and regulatory complexities involved. Purpose. This mini-review aims to critically assess the feasibility of converting palm oil waste into bioenergy by synthesizing recent scientific findings, technological advancements, and sustainability evaluations from studies conducted between 2015 and 2025. Method. The review employs a qualitative synthesis approach, drawing from peer-reviewed journal articles, government reports, and institutional publications related to waste-to-energy technologies, policy frameworks, and case studies in Indonesia’s palm oil regions. Sources were selected through a systematic screening process using Scopus and ScienceDirect databases. Results. Findings indicate that several technologies such as anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, gasification, and direct combustion demonstrate promising conversion efficiencies, particularly for palm oil mill effluent and empty fruit bunches. Nonetheless, high capital costs, inconsistent waste collection systems, technological maintenance barriers, and weak policy enforcement continue to hinder large-scale implementation. Socio-economic conditions, especially in rural Kalimantan, further affect the scalability of bioenergy initiatives. Conclusion. The review concludes that converting palm oil waste into bioenergy is technically viable but only conditionally feasible when supported by integrated policy frameworks, community-based waste management, and long-term investment strategies. Strengthening cross-sector collaboration remains essential for sustainable implementation.
