The Role of Sustainable Competitive Advantage on Sustainable Finance and Bank Profitability

This study examines the moderating effect of sustainable competitive advantage on the relationship between sustainable finance and bank profitability of Indonesian conventional commercial banks from 2019 to 2022. The study has found that sustainable finance has a positive impact on bank profitability (ROA and ROE). However, the impact of sustainable competitive advantage on bank profitability was only positive with ROA, suggesting that ROA is a more effective indicator of bank profitability for this study. Furthermore, the study indicates that the impact of sustainable finance on bank profitability (both ROA and ROE) is diminished by the delay in the implementation of sustainability reporting during the COVID-19 reporting period. The results of this study are likely to encourage banks to increase their sustainable finance and focus on improving the quality of sustainability reporting in order to gain a competitive advantage in the current banking industry landscape in Indonesia.

Assessment Rubric for Historical Thinking Skills in Accordance with the Kurikulum Merdeka

The introduction of the Kurikulum Merdeka by Indonesia's Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbudristek) in the 2022/2023 academic year marked a significant shift in the national curriculum. This change, particularly in the subject of history, highlighted the need to develop and assess historical thinking skills.

Symmetric and Asymmetric Response of the Renewable Energy Market to Indonesian Economic Trends

This study digs into the complex interplay between renewable energy market development and Indonesian economic trends. Our rigorous study aims to investigate the impact of crucial economic indicators, including gross domestic product (GDP), exchange rates, inflation, real interest rates, net inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI), and urbanisation, on the renewable energy landscape in Indonesia between 1973 and 2022. This study provides a novel insight by investigating both symmetric and asymmetric impacts in the context of Indonesia. While previous studies have limited scope with linear relationships, this study fills a gap by capturing the dynamic interplay between renewables and economic indicators. By employing a robust econometric model, we reveal interesting patterns highlighting the multidimensional nature of the renewable energy market's responses to economic trends and find that there is a long-term interplay among the variables under linear and non-linear models. We found empirical evidence indicating that the nexus is asymmetric. However, in the long term, GDP exhibits an asymmetric positive impact on renewable energy consumption in the linear model. This shows that economic growth positively correlates with Indonesia's adoption of sustainable renewable energy sources. Similarly, urbanisation shows a positive response, with expanding cities boosting demand for cleaner and greener energy. Surprisingly, exchange rates show an asymmetric response, demonstrating that depreciation of local currency has a disproportionate negative impact on renewable energy investment during economic downturns. Inflation also exhibits a negative asymmetric response due to eroding purchasing power that reduces investment in renewables. Meanwhile, net inflow of FDI emerges as a critical driver in favourable economic conditions, dramatically amplifying renewable energy capacities. Therefore, during economic recessions, FDI’s impact diminishes and emphasises the significant importance of tailored interventions. Based on the findings of this study, which demonstrate the profound interplay of how the Indonesian economy shapes and is affected by the renewable energy market, we encourage the adoption of policies that promote sustainable energy development while increasing economic resilience. We recommend that policymakers support renewable energy diversification to lessen the vulnerability of exchange rate fluctuations. Attracting FDI is also crucial, as policies can help strengthen the investment climate and bolster the renewable energy sector. Inflation-indexed incentives can help maintain confidence and foster economic growth.

Modernising tradition: Reinforcing ASWAJA al-Nahdhiyah authority among millennials in Indonesia

The da’wah [invitation to Islamic teachings] movement of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah al-Nahdhiyah, abbreviated as ASWAJA al-Nahdhiyah, formerly centred around elderly, rural, and traditional populations, has now expanded its influence to encompass the millennial demographic. The evolving landscape of time and technological advancements present novel challenges in effectively communicating the da’wah message to a generation deeply immersed in the digital era. Millennials exhibit distinct communication preferences and characteristics compared to previous generations, necessitating tailored approaches to disseminate da’wah content that resonates with their context and needs. This research aimed to achieve two primary objectives: firstly, to identify emerging forms of new traditions within the ideological reinforcement of ASWAJA al-Nahdhiyah among millennials, and secondly, to analyse the underlying factors contributing to these novel traditions within the millennial context. Employing a qualitative approach, this study utilised nethnography as its methodological framework, seeking to understand cultural experiences encompassing traces, practices, networks, and social media systems. By combining various research approaches for data collection, analysis, and interpretation, the study shed light on the reinforcement efforts that give rise to diverse new traditions. The findings highlighted that the reinforcement endeavours, including the appropriation of media platforms and the emphasis on education, cadre development, and intensive mentorship within millennial domains, significantly contribute to the acceptance and affiliation towards ASWAJA al-Nahdhiyah. Moreover, these efforts serve as a counterforce against the proliferation of radical ideologies, safeguarding the traditional religious views amid the rapid globalisation of religious understanding and transnational da’wah movements in Indonesia.Contribution: This article advanced our understanding of the evolving dynamics within the ASWAJA al-Nahdhiyah movement, particularly its adaptation to contemporary communication channels and its strategic engagement with young audiences amid the changing religious landscape in Indonesia.

Analyzing Primary Healthcare Governance in Indonesia: Perspectives of Community Health Workers.

Background Community-integrated health posts (Posyandu) are crucial for extending primary healthcare across diverse geographical and demographic landscapes in Indonesia. Community health workers (CHWs) currently function as the main service delivery actors for Posyandu. However, Posyandu's performance remains below the standards set by the Ministry of Health. This study examines health system determinants that explain the poor performance of Posyandu and, in particular, examines the roles of village and township governance and community health center management in supporting the effectiveness of primary healthcare programs. Methodology We analyzed 638 Posyandus across 13 Indonesian provinces, utilizing data from the 2014 Indonesia Family Life Survey. We evaluated eight health system determinants based on the perceptions of CHWs concerning challenges encountered in Posyandus. These factors were ranked and analyzed to determine the variables that affected Posyandu's poor performance. Both unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios were calculated. Results This study revealed that nearly half of the Posyandus in Indonesia are underperforming, particularly in rural areas. Common challenges include insufficient funds, inadequate equipment, and a lack of permanent buildings. Although only a small percentage mentioned minimal support from village and Puskesmas authorities, the weak governance roles of village heads are reflected in all the concerns mentioned by CHWs. Conclusions The absence of village heads from governance roles has contributed to Posyandu's operational problems as perceived by CHWs. Community health centers (Puskesmas), responsible for providing technical support to Posyandu, should be part of CHW teams and networks. Further discussions are needed to choose a workable governance model to ensure practical, accessible, and sustainable primary healthcare services at the grassroots level.
