Abstract

General Background Urban farming programs require adaptive human resource competencies to support food security and community empowerment in complex environments. Specific Background This study examines agricultural extension workers within an urban farming program, focusing on competency alignment with role demands across different job levels. Knowledge Gap Limited evidence exists on how competency gaps are systematically mapped and translated into operational development strategies in urban agriculture contexts. Aims The study aims to identify competency gaps and formulate a structured competency development framework based on empirical findings. Results Findings reveal consistent gaps where competency achievement falls below importance levels, particularly in agribusiness management, agroprocessing, commercialization, institutional development, and technology facilitation, while communication and leadership competencies remain relatively strong. These gaps vary by job level, with higher-level roles demonstrating more complex deficiencies. Importance–Performance Analysis highlights priority competencies requiring immediate attention. Novelty The study integrates job-level competency gap mapping with Importance–Performance Analysis and operationalizes the results into a 70:20:10 learning framework for targeted capacity development. Implications The findings suggest that competency development must be differentiated by role complexity and prioritize strategic technical skills through experiential, social, and formal learning to support sustainable urban farming programs. Highlights• Strategic technical competencies show the largest performance gaps• Priority skills cluster in agribusiness, processing, and technology facilitation• Development strategy aligns learning modes with competency gap structure KeywordsAgricultural Extension; Competency Gap; Urban Farming; IPA Analysis; Learning Model

Abstract

General Background Funding sustainability remains a critical challenge for Islamic boarding schools due to reliance on limited and fluctuating income sources. Specific Background At Salafiyyah Asy-Syafiiyyah Islamic Boarding School, dependence on contributions from students’ guardians has historically led to operational instability. Knowledge Gap Previous studies have not comprehensively mapped integrated funding diversification combining business units, productive waqf, stakeholder collaboration, and digital donation systems within pesantren contexts. Aims This study aims to analyze the implementation of a diversified funding strategy to support financial independence and institutional sustainability. Results Using a qualitative case study approach, findings reveal that diversification through business units, productive waqf, alumni networks, and digital infaq platforms generates stable income streams, increases stakeholder participation, and distributes financial resources more evenly throughout the year, with business units contributing approximately 20–25% of regular income and waqf assets providing long-term financial support. Novelty The study introduces an empirical model integrating traditional Islamic philanthropy with modern financial management practices and identifies stakeholder collaboration as a core element of a solidarity-based funding ecosystem. Implications These findings provide practical guidance for Islamic educational institutions to develop adaptive, professional, and sustainable financial management systems that strengthen resilience against economic fluctuations. Highlights: Multiple revenue streams distribute institutional income more consistently across operational periods. Waqf asset utilization generates continuous returns supporting long-term financing needs. Collective participation from internal and external actors forms a resilient funding ecosystem. Keywords: Islamic Boarding Schools, Funding Diversification, Financial Management, Productive Endowments, Institutional Independence.

Abstract

General Background: Stock price prediction is a complex problem due to the non-linear, stochastic, and volatile characteristics of financial markets. Specific Background: Advanced deep learning approaches such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Transformer architectures have been applied to capture sequential patterns and global dependencies in time-series financial data. Knowledge Gap: However, existing approaches often lack integration between accurate forecasting and quantitative risk measurement within a unified framework. Aims: This study proposes a Hybrid Transformer–LSTM model integrated with Monte Carlo simulation to provide both precise stock price prediction and risk evaluation. Results: Using historical daily stock price data of BMRI from March 2013 to March 2025 and incorporating technical indicators such as RSI and moving averages, the model achieved a Mean Absolute Percentage Error of 4.13% and a Mean Absolute Error of 246.35 Rupiah. Monte Carlo-based Value at Risk at a 99% confidence level estimated a potential maximum loss of 5.35%. Novelty: The study combines sequential learning, attention mechanisms, and probabilistic simulation in a single framework linking prediction accuracy with risk quantification. Implications: The proposed approach provides a comprehensive analytical basis for supporting investment decision-making through reliable forecasting and measurable downside risk estimation. Highlights : Combined deep learning architecture produces low forecasting error on long-term historical data Probabilistic simulation quantifies maximum potential loss under high confidence level Integrated framework links predictive modeling with measurable investment risk Keywords: Hybrid Transformer LSTM, Stock Price Prediction, Monte Carlo Value at Risk

Abstract

General Background: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a critical role in economic stability, requiring strategies to sustain customer loyalty in competitive markets. Specific Background: The salted egg SME industry faces declining sales, operational inconsistencies, and challenges in maintaining product quality and perceived value, which affect consumer behavior. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have not comprehensively integrated product quality, customer experience, and perceived value into a sequential behavioral model linking purchase intention, satisfaction, repeat purchase, and customer loyalty. Aims: This study aims to analyze the relationships among product quality, customer experience, and perceived value on purchase intention, satisfaction, repeat purchases, and customer loyalty using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results: The findings indicate that perceived value and product quality significantly and positively affect purchase intention, while customer experience shows a positive but insignificant relationship. Purchase intention significantly influences satisfaction, which subsequently drives repeat purchases, and repeat purchases significantly lead to customer loyalty. Novelty: This study proposes a hierarchical causal model that explains customer loyalty formation through sequential behavioral stages within salted egg SMEs. Implications: The results provide a strategic basis for SMEs to prioritize product quality and perceived value to strengthen sustainable customer loyalty and guide future research in developing more comprehensive behavioral models. Highlights: Value perception shows the strongest contribution in shaping early-stage consumer decisions. Sequential linkage from intention to satisfaction and repurchase forms a continuous behavioral pathway. Experiential aspects demonstrate limited statistical contribution in initial decision formation. Keywords: Perceived Value, Product Quality, Customer Experience, Customer Loyalty, Structural Equation Modeling
