The Influence of Financial Distress, Earnings Management, and Financial Performance on Firm Value with Good Corporate Governance as a Moderating Variable

This study examines the influence of financial distress, earnings management, and profitability on firm value, with good corporate governance (institutional ownership) as a moderating variable. Focusing on infrastructure sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023, this research employs Tobin's Q to measure firm value, the Altman Z-Score for financial distress, the modified Jones model for earnings management, and Return on Assets (ROA) for profitability. The findings reveal that profitability positively and significantly affects firm value, while financial distress and earnings management show no significant impact. Additionally, institutional ownership does not moderate the effects of financial distress and earnings management on firm value, though it successfully moderates the relationship between profitability and firm value. These results underscore the importance of profitability and good corporate governance in enhancing firm value, with implications for investor decision-making and corporate strategy in Indonesia’s infrastructure sector.

Homology Modeling and Expression of Recombinant NS5-RdRp Based on the Indonesian Local Strain of Dengue Virus for Anti-Dengue Drug Development

This study aims to isolate the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of the dengue virus (DENV) isolates from Indonesia, determine the serotype of the local DENV strain through homology modeling, and express the recombinant RdRp protein in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), as the target for anti-dengue drug development. We utilize reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nested PCR for serotyping the DENV isolates, obtained from Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Indonesia. Then, followed by the extraction and purification of the RdRp amplicon for gene sequencing. The resulting RdRp gene sequences are translated into amino acid sequences, which are then used for protein modeling and the construction of a recombinant plasmid for RdRp protein expression. As the result, the RdRp gene, which belongs to the non-structural protein 5 (NS5) of DENV, was successfully isolated and sequenced from DENV RNA samples. Based on serotyping results and homology modeling, the serotype of the isolate DENV was identified as serotype-3. The isolated NS5-RdRp gene from the local strain was then inserted into the pET28a(+) plasmid and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) as the host cell. Recombinant NS5-RdRp was predominantly found in the insoluble fraction with a molecular weight of 72 kDa. Future studies on the development of an anti-dengue drug model that confirms the inhibition of the binding domain in the recombinant RdRp protein structure will be required to provide more insight and expand the development of a universal anti-dengue strategy in Indonesia.

Model for increasing interest in enrolling in private universities based on a segmentation, targeting, and market positioning strategy in Indonesia

This study aims to examine the factors that influence interest in enrolling in private colleges in the DKI Jakarta area, with a focus on how the Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning (STP) strategies of these colleges affect student enrollment decisions. The research addresses a gap in understanding how these marketing strategies impact enrollment in this specific region, which has not been widely studied. Using a survey method with a quantitative approach, the study explores aspects like accreditation, ranking, and clustering of colleges. Data were collected from 283 non-official and non-religious colleges, with a sample of 166 colleges, through questionnaires sent to policymakers. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis. The results show that the segmentation strategy is particularly successful, while the targeting and positioning strategies are moderately effective. Unlike previous studies that generalize the effects of marketing strategies on college enrollment, this research offers a detailed analysis specific to the DKI Jakarta region. The hypothesis testing confirms that segmentation, targeting, and positioning strategies positively influence enrollment interest, both individually and together. However, the study is limited to one region and one type of college, indicating a need for further research in different contexts. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen each part of the STP strategies by addressing identified weaknesses to improve their overall impact.

MSME Development and Growth Strategy in Indonesia: Challenges and Opportunities in the Digital Economy Era

This study is focused on the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) growth in Indonesia. Various literature sources have been consulted to address the existing problems, and secondary data from relevant agencies such as BPS, BI, and the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs have been used. The challenges faced by SMEs in enhancing their business capabilities are multifaceted, encompassing several indicators. These include insufficient capital, both in terms of quantity and sources, inadequate managerial and operational skills in organizing, and limited marketing opportunities. Moreover, there is also unhealthy competition and economic pressures leading to a restricted and narrow business scope. It is crucial to address these concerns, especially in anticipation of Indonesia's participation in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the resulting open market. It is imperative for SMEs to enhance their competitiveness. However, these problems can be effectively tackled through various policies that facilitate easy access for SMEs to the banking industry. The fact that only 13.6% of credit growth is disbursed by the banking sector demonstrates that capital-related issues can be easily resolved, subsequently impacting management and enabling the production of more competitive products. By effectively addressing the challenges posed by the AEC, the government's concerns can be better addressed.

Strategi NGO Lingkungan Greenpeace Indonesia Dalam Mendorong Transisi Energi Baru dan Terbaharukan (EBT) di Tengah Kontroversi Realisasi Net Zero Emission (NZE) 2060 di DKI Jakarta

Net Zero Emission (NZE) 2060 is a global program that start being realized by 197 countries including Indonesia, which is recommended to be implemented through the New and Renewable Energy (EBT) transition. Unfortunately, the process of realizing NZE 2060 being undertaken by the government for the DKI Jakarta area is currently being called by the Environmental Non-Government Organization (NGO) Greenpeace Indonesia as controversial because it places too much emphasis on electric vehicles compared to EBT. This research aims to analyze the strategy implemented by Greenpeace Indonesia in pushing EBT transition to accelerate the realization of NZE 2060 in DKI Jakarta. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type whose data was obtained through interviews and literature study. Results and research analysis show that since 2008 Greenpeace Indonesia's strategy has succeeded in having an influence in minimizing controversy and encouraging the use of EBT in DKI Jakarta. Before holding campaign activities or demonstrations, Greenpeace Indonesia always collects data through research as initial capital to determine the narrative that will be presented and subsequent actions. Greenpeace Indonesia also completes its strategy by introducing EBT directly to civil society communities to be a role model and increase community participation in the realization of NZE program. In conclusion, collaboration and synergy are needed between the government and environmental NGOs as a forum for civil society to smoothen the EBT transition and accelerate the realization of NZE 2060 program.

Navigating Around Conflict: The Indonesia Way to Initiating Peace Talk in the South China Sea Dispute

Objective: This paper aims to unravel the pattern of Indonesia's diplomatic maneuver in the South China Sea dispute over the years. Result and conclusion: We conclude that Indonesia has repeatedly shown a tendency to take the initiative and lead the talks to promote a peaceful settlement. The proposed zero drafts in 2012 indicate Indonesia's strategy to lead the conversation toward peaceful agenda. In order to execute its diplomatic maneuver, Indonesia repeatedly exploited ASEAN Forum to achieve milestones in the South China Sea peaceful settlement. Research implication: The South China Sea has been diplomatic for Indonesia's Foreign Policy for ages. In response to the matters, Indonesia has been persistently implementing two diplomatic alternatives by enforcing formal diplomatic ways utilizing the ASEAN forum and executing an informal path through Managing Potential Conflict in the South China Sea. Originality/value: The two ways have been a fundamental Indonesian foreign policy landscape towards South China Sea dispute since the 1990s until arguably 2014. Various scholarly manuscripts conclude that the approach proved unsuccessful in effectively bringing a settlement to the South China Sea disputes.

HIV/AIDS in Indonesia: current treatment landscape, future therapeutic horizons, and herbal approaches.

HIV/AIDS is still a major worldwide health concern, and Indonesia is making efforts to mitigate its effects. Antiretroviral therapy (ARV), which aims to decrease viral replication, boost immunological function, and lengthen the lifespans of persons living with HIV/AIDS, is the cornerstone of Indonesia's strategy. The availability of ARV has significantly increased, yet problems including stigma and the requirement for regular medication adherence still exist. To address the broader needs of those affected by HIV/AIDS, Indonesia lays a major focus on comprehensive care, which includes mental health and social support, in addition to ARV. Data show that, despite progress, there is still a stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS, which affects patient outcomes and access to care. With vigorous research into cutting-edge antiretroviral medications and treatment techniques, Indonesia has a thriving future therapeutic landscape. The goals of these programs are to increase treatment effectiveness, decrease side effects, and increase access to cutting-edge treatments. Preventive methods, such as PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), are making progress, and efforts to find a cure are gaining prominence. Notably, HIV/AIDS management plan of Indonesia heavily relies on natural remedies. Patient care incorporates traditional Indonesian medicine, such as jamu and several herbal medicines. Although there is little scientific proof to support the effectiveness of these herbal remedies, complementary and alternative therapies frequently employ them to manage symptoms and promote general wellness. In terms of the 95-95-95 targets, Indonesia is making an effort to comply with these international goals by seeking to diagnose 95% of HIV-positive individuals, provide sustained ARV to 95% of those diagnosed, and achieve viral suppression in 95% of ARV recipients. Although there are gaps in reaching these aims, progress is being made, in part because of the aforementioned challenges. In summary, Indonesia employs a multimodal approach to HIV/AIDS management, including traditional herbal cures, continuous research into cutting-edge treatments, and conventional ARV. In order to enhance overall health outcomes and create a healthier society, the future of HIV/AIDS treatment in Indonesia is concentrated on expanding therapeutic alternatives, reaching the 95-95-95 targets, decreasing stigma, and improving access to care.

Indonesia's Strategy in Dealing with The European Union Green Protectionism in The Palm Oil Trade

The presence of palm oil in the international market is relatively competitive. As a producer of 59% of global palm oil, Indonesia faces green protectionism in the EU market. It is used for environmental protection, anti-deforestation, and global warming control. Therefore, this study analyzes Indonesia's response to EU market protectionism. The study uses the perspective of protectionism and the dynamics of state adjustment behavior in conflicts of national interest. The country's adjustment strategy theory is complemented by the behavioral choice strategy theory in facing international sanctions. The authors use qualitative methods, with literature study, observation, and supplemented interviews. In dealing with palm oil trade barriers, Indonesia initially utilized the domestic offensive strategy to deal with the restrictions, changing domestic palm oil management policies, including forest moratorium, terminating palm oil permits, adopting the ISPO certification system, and downstream the domestic palm oil industry. However, it was ineffective, and various restrictions became more vigorous, so Indonesia implemented an international offensive strategy, encouraging changes in international regulations and eliminating protectionism against palm oil. Nevertheless, the resistance has yet to be very successful. Therefore, Indonesia must perform proactive conformance to find new markets for Indonesian palm oil.

Strategi Pembangunan Nasional Terhadap Ketimpangan Ekonomi Antar Daerah Perspektif Ekonomi Islam

Indonesia has a significant problem of economic inequality between regions. This can give rise to inequality and social injustice. The government, in its efforts to achieve economic equality between regions in its national development strategy, has provided several policies, however, it also needs a national development strategy with an Islamic perspective to perfect these policies. This study employed a qualitative approach as its research methodology, specifically focusing on library research. A qualitative approach allows researchers to understand complex and multidimensional phenomena. In facing the challenges, challenges and failures in the national development strategy in Indonesia in the last 10 years, Islamic Economics can provide alternative solutions that can strengthen the parts that according to Islamic Economics must also be considered in order to strengthen the National Development strategy that can minimize and neutralize, one of which is by paying attention to Sharia Economic Principles in terms of development such as justice, balance and poverty. Therefore, the national development strategy implemented must pay attention to these principles. From the standpoint of Islamic economic development, Indonesia's development focus for the past ten years has been irrelevant. This is a result of the Indonesian government continuing to focused on infrastructure development and is not fully in accordance with sharia principles, and is lacking in improving the aspect of human resources.
