The Influence of Caused-Related Marketing on Consumer Buying Interest: An Environmental Care Campaign on Skincare Products in Indonesia
This study aims to analyze the influence of Cause-Related Marketing (CRM) on consumer buying interest in skincare products in Indonesia, especially through environmental care campaigns. With increasing public awareness of sustainability issues, skincare companies are competing to adopt marketing strategies that focus on social and environmental responsibility. This study uses a quantitative approach with an online survey method of 104 male respondents who use skincare products. The analysis was carried out using a reflective measurement model to test the relationship between variables such as Cause Participation, Congruence between Product and Cause, Attitude Toward the Cause, Willingness to Pay More, and Purchase Intention. The results of the study show that Cause Participation has a significant positive influence on Attitude Toward the Cause and Purchase Intention. Similarly, Attitude Toward the Cause has a positive effect on Willingness to Pay More and Purchase Intention. However, Congruence between Product and Cause has no significant effect on Purchase Intent. These findings confirm that consumer involvement in environmental care campaigns plays a greater role in building purchase intent than the match between the product and the cause carried. The practical implications of this study provide insights for skincare companies to optimize environmental campaigns as an effective and sustainable marketing strategy.

Maturity Measurement of Information and Communication Technology Infrastructure Governance and Management in Mojokerto Regency using Cobit 2019
Abstract. In the current era of digital transformation, local governments are responsible for providing convenient and fast services to the public. Therefore, adequate preparation of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure is crucial to supporting the digital transformation initiated by the Mojokerto Regency government. The Mojokerto Regency Communications and Information Technology Office (Diskominfo) faces several challenges related to managing ICT service infrastructure. These include the uneven distribution of ICT network infrastructure across all service departments and the lack of integration of data services within Diskominfo's data center. The purpose of this study is to examine the current situation and provide recommendations regarding the stages and priorities for managing ICT network infrastructure at Diskominfo. Therefore, an appropriate method is needed to identify the condition of the ICT infrastructure and evaluate its performance achievements using the COBIT 2019 framework. The research was conducted through problem identification, stakeholder discussions, data collection, data analysis, and reporting. The results of this study are a measurement of the maturity of ICT infrastructure governance and management, based on the COBIT 2019 framework with objective domain processes BAI02 Managed Requirements Definition, BAI03 Managed Solutions Identification and Build, BAI06 Managed IT Changes, and BAI10 Managed Configuration. These recommendations and suggestions can be used to further improve ICT governance and management services in all organizations.

Optimizing Collaborative Quality Improvement Strategies to Decrease Neonatal Asphyxia Incidence: A Scoping Review
Neonatal asphyxia remains a leading cause of neonatal mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Quality Improvement Collaboratives (QICs) have emerged as a structured approach to bridge the gap between evidence-based interventions and clinical practice in neonatal care. This scoping review aimed to systematically map the characteristics, core components, and reported outcomes of QIC frameworks implemented to reduce the incidence of neonatal asphyxia. The review was conducted following the Arksey and O’Malley framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A systematic search of seven electronic databases (2016–2025) identified seven eligible studies. Data on QIC components, implementation strategies, and outcomes were extracted and synthesized. The findings indicate that QICs, often incorporating Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, mentorship, and audit-feedback, were implemented across various LMICs. Core components included interprofessional collaboration, protocol standardization, and real-time data monitoring. Enabling factors such as leadership engagement and effective communication enhanced adherence to care protocols, while workforce shortages and inadequate infrastructure posed barriers. The reviewed studies consistently reported improvements in clinical practices and reductions in neonatal asphyxia or related mortality. QICs are effective in improving neonatal outcomes through structured, team-oriented approaches. For long-term sustainability, they must be integrated into broader health system strengthening initiatives, addressing systemic barriers and securing institutional support.

Altruistic Economic Character of High School Students in Daily Alms Practice: Conceptual Study of the Integration of Positive Psychology and Maqasid Syariah
This study aims to develop a conceptual model of Islamic economic character education based on the integration of positive psychology and maqasid al-shariah theories. The main problem addressed concerns how PERMA, PROSPER, PRIMED, and maqasid al-shariah can be integrated into a comprehensive character education system to cultivate a morally conscious economic character through daily charity activities in secondary schools. A conceptual literature study was conducted using thematic analysis guided by Creswell and qualitative data analysis techniques from Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The analysis resulted in the integrative P3M model (PERMA–PROSPER–PRIMED–Maqasid) that explains the mechanism for developing spiritual-social economic character, referred to as the Altruistic Flourishing Economic Character . This model represents a theoretical novelty by bridging Western perspectives on psychological well-being with Islamic ethics of public good. The study contributes to strengthening economic character education in schools and supports the achievement of SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production).

The Role of Ukraine Digital Diplomacy in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict in 2014-2022
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is not only taking place on the battlefield, but also developing into a narrative battle in the digital space. Digital diplomacy has become a strategic instrument for Ukraine in shaping international public opinion, mobilizing global support, and countering Russian disinformation during the period 2014–2022. This research aims to analyze the role, strategy, and effectiveness of Ukraine's digital diplomacy from the annexation of Crimea to the full-scale invasion in 2022. Through a descriptive-qualitative approach, this study examines the digital communication practices of the Ukrainian government, in particular the use of social media by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, crowdsourced campaigns such as UNITED24, as well as collaborations with global civil networks and the OSINT community. The findings of the study show that Ukraine's personalized, decentralized, and participatory communication model has succeeded in building international solidarity more effectively than Russia's strategy that relies on centralized disinformation and bot networks. Ukraine's digital diplomacy is also capable of converting soft power into significant political, military, and humanitarian support from various countries and international organizations. Thus, digital diplomacy has proven to be Ukraine's main tool for maintaining legitimacy, strengthening bargaining positions, as well as protecting national interests in asymmetric conflicts with Russia.

The Influence of Social Media and Brand Awareness on Willingness to Pay Premium Price with Green Attitude as a Mediating Variable on Gen Z Users of Green Product Tupperware Drinking Bottles in East Jakarta City
Awareness of environmentally friendly products has become a crucial issue in line with growing global attention to resource efficiency and environmental impact reduction. Generation Z, as young consumers, tends to have high environmental concerns, which may influence their willingness to pay a premium price for green products such as Tupperware bottles. This study applied a quantitative approach using questionnaires distributed to 100 Gen Z respondents who use Tupperware in East Jakarta. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The findings reveal that social media has a positive and significant effect on both willingness to pay a premium price and green attitude. Brand awareness also significantly and positively affects these two variables. Moreover, green attitude significantly influences willingness to pay a premium price and mediates the relationship between social media and willingness to pay a premium price as well as between brand awareness and willingness to pay a premium price. These findings highlight that communication strategies through social media and strengthening brand awareness are effective in shaping Gen Z's green attitude. A positive environmental attitude increases their willingness to pay a premium price for eco-friendly products. This provides valuable insight for companies in developing sustainable marketing strategies targeting young consumers.

The Influence of Social Media Marketing Communication on the Development of Malaysian Culture
The proliferation of social media has transformed marketing communication, offering new avenues for cultural promotion and tourism development. In Malaysia, platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Douyin present significant potential for showcasing cultural heritage to both local and international audiences, yet their strategic effectiveness in promoting sustainable cultural tourism requires further exploration. This study examines the influence of social media marketing communication on the development and promotion of Malaysian culture through digital platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Douyin. Using the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) and Media Mix Plan Theory, the research evaluates the effectiveness of these platforms in increasing engagement, cultural awareness, and tourism interest among both local and international audiences. The findings indicate that video-based content, especially on TikTok, achieved the highest engagement rates due to fast-paced visuals, trending music, and effective use of hashtags and timing. Moreover, the campaign successfully contributed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4 and SDG 16) by fostering intercultural understanding and peace through creative cultural representation. The results highlight that social media is a strategic communication tool for promoting Malaysia’s cultural image and enhancing sustainable tourism initiatives. This study underscores the strategic role of social media as a powerful tool for sustainable cultural marketing. Academically, it enriches the literature on digital cultural tourism and SDG integration in marketing strategies. Practically, it provides actionable insights for cultural organizations and tourism boards to design authentic and effective digital campaigns that boost cultural preservation, economic vitality, and global cultural image.

The Effectiveness of Public Service Quality on the Organization's Commitment to the Tanjungpinang SAR Office
This study aims to analyze the effect of public service quality effectiveness on organizational commitment among SAR personnel at the Tanjungpinang SAR Office. Service quality is measured using Kotler’s four service characteristics: intangibility, inseparability, variability, and perishability. The study is motivated by the decline in the Public Satisfaction Index (IKM) in 2023 and the low competency score of SAR personnel, with 67.57% falling below the required professional competency standard. This condition indicates potential challenges to organizational commitment, which may reduce the effectiveness of SAR operations. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 93 respondents, with data collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that all four dimensions of service quality significantly influence organizational commitment, both partially and simultaneously. Intangibility and inseparability provide the strongest contribution, while variability and perishability influence commitment through individual skills in delivering optimal service and implementing SAR personnel service SOPs supported by teamwork. These findings highlight that improving service quality in the SAR sector must be accompanied by strengthening human resource competencies to enhance organizational commitment. This study offers practical implications for policymakers in designing strategies to improve public services and develop human resources in SAR institutions, as well as contributing empirical insights to public service quality studies in emergency response organizations.

Literature Review on The Effect of Economic Intelligence on Economic Growth Improvement With Tax Evasion as Mediating Variable
Taxation is one of the sources of state revenue that greatly affects economic growth. However, major challenges arise due to tax evasion practices carried out by taxpayers illegally, thereby reducing the potential for state revenue. This phenomenon not only has an impact on weakening the country's fiscal capacity, but also hinders the pace of economic growth nationally. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between tax evasion, economic growth, and economic intelligence. Economic Intelligence is one of the approaches to economic resilience that can be a solution in infrastructure and prevention rather than recovering after tax evasion has occurred. This study uses a systematic literature review approach from previous research taken from summon discovery results found 493 previous studies then after being selected for the last 10 years and found that there are 29 previous studies that are suitable for this topic. The results of this study show that the majority of studies find a negative relationship between tax evasion and economic growth, while an approach based on economic intelligence by integrating technologies such as machine learning, blockchain, and big data analytics has proven to be effective in reducing tax evasion rates.

Value Creation Acceptance, Price Tolerance, and Local Wisdom-Based Conservation Knowledge as Determinants of Repurchase Intention: A Study on the Coffee Industry in Indonesia
The background of this research originates from the phenomenon of Indonesian coffee market dynamics, characterized by increasing price instability and performance fluctuations due to climate change and sustainability challenges. In this context, the level of consumer tolerance for brand performance is one of the important factors in maintaining consumer loyalty and market stability. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the co-creation process, tolerance to brand performance, and conservation knowledge based on local wisdom as a moderating variable. This study uses an explanatory quantitative approach, with a population of 3,178 social media followers from local coffee brands that apply conservation principles based on local wisdom. The number of respondents successfully collected was 358, with the characteristics of a majority of men (193 respondents), aged 29–43 years (millennial generation), and from Central Java (190 respondents). Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to test the relationships between variables. The results of the analysis show that the acceptance of value creation has a positive effect on price tolerance. Furthermore, conservation knowledge based on local wisdom has been shown to positively moderate the relationship between performance tolerance and repurchase intention. This research makes an important contribution to the development of the theory of equal value creation in the context of sustainable marketing, especially by integrating the conservation aspect of local wisdom as a cultural factor that can strengthen the relationship between consumers and brands.

The Legal Framework of Mergers as a Pillar of Economic Reform: A Normative Analysis of the Implementation and Coordination of Regulations
Business restructuring through mergers is a commonly used corporate strategy to increase efficiency, expand markets, and strengthen competitiveness. However, in the Indonesian context, the merger process does not only have economic considerations, but also a complex legal aspect because it involves various regulations, supervisory institutions, as well as the protection of minority shareholders and business competition. This article aims to analyze the legal framework governing mergers in Indonesia and evaluate its implementation effectiveness through comparative analysis with the United States and Singapore regulatory systems, with a focus on identifying regulatory gaps and formulating policy recommendations for strengthening merger laws. The article uses a normative-empirical juridical approach by examining laws and regulations, doctrines, and decisions of supervisory institutions (ICC and OJK), and comparing them with secondary data from actual merger case studies. The results of the study show that although the legal framework for mergers in Indonesia has been quite comprehensive, the Limited Liability Company Law, the Business Competition Law, and OJK regulations still have challenges in terms of information disclosure, protection of minority shareholders, and synchronization between authorities. This study recommends harmonization of regulations between supervisory agencies and strengthening legal due diligence in every merger process to ensure legal certainty and protection of the public interest.

The Effect of Intrinsic Motivation, Self-Efficacy, and Organizational Climate on Job Performance of Marketing Division Employees at PT.XYZ
This study aims to examine the effect of intrinsic motivation (IM), self efficacy (SE), and organization climate (OC) on job performance (JP) mediated by work engagement (WE) and job satisfaction (JS). The method used is quantitative with saturated sampling, data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) with 43 respondents. The results showed that intrinsic motivation, self efficacy, organization climate had a positive effect on job performance, and intrinsic motivation and self efficacy had a positive effect on work engagement. Organization climate and work engagement had a positive effect on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction and work engagement had a positive effect on job performance. The strongest mediation path analysis occurs in the relationship between intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction through work engagement, and also intrinsic motivation to job performance through work engagement which also shows a significant influence. The results of this study provide useful insights for organizations, where the main focus is directed at increasing self-efficacy and job satisfaction, while factors that have shown good performance such as intrinsic motivation, organizational climate and work engagement must still be maintained to maintain optimal organizational performance as a whole.

The Impact of Green Skepticism on the Effectiveness of Green Promotion in Driving Green Purchase Behavior in Indonesia
Growing consumer concern about environmental impact has prompted companies to adopt green marketing strategies. However, the rise of green skepticism, often triggered by greenwashing, raises questions about the actual effectiveness of such strategies. This study examines the impact of eco-labels and green advertising on green purchase behavior, with perceived green knowledge as a mediator and green skepticism as a moderator. Drawing from the Persuasion Knowledge Model (PKM) and the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S–O–R) framework, a quantitative survey was conducted with 301 environmentally conscious consumers in Greater Jakarta. Structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. Results show that both eco-labels and green advertising significantly enhance perceived green knowledge, which positively influences green purchase behavior. Interestingly, green skepticism negatively moderates the effect of green advertising on perceived knowledge, but does not weaken the influence of eco-labels—possibly due to their third-party verification. The findings emphasize the importance of credible and transparent green communication. Theoretically, this study extends S–O–R by validating direct stimulus-response pathways. Practically, it guides marketers and policymakers to prioritize substantiated claims over persuasive imagery in green promotions.

The Financial Ripple Effect: Evaluating the Impact of Corporate Downsizing in Meta
This study examines the financial ramifications of corporate downsizing on Meta Platforms Inc., focusing on the timeframe from 2018 to 2025, which includes the company's rapid growth and the ensuing "Year of Efficiency" layoffs commencing in late 2022. The study uses a quantitative approach, looking at changes in key financial and operational factors before and after the downsizing intervention. It does this by using Interrupted Time Series Analysis (ITSA) and multiple regression models on quarterly data. There is a lot going on with this "ripple effect." On the one hand, cutting back on staff and costs helped profits and efficiency a lot in the short run. Some numbers, like Return on Assets (ROA) and Operating Margin (OPM), went up after the company was slashed. Operating Income per Employee (OIPE) also went up. This means that employees made more money, mostly because costs were cut. On the other hand, the plan made it harder to get work done. Sales per Employee (SPE) steadily went down, which shows that fewer workers hurt production and may have hurt employee happiness. Also, cutting back on staff did not have a big effect on Return on Equity (ROE) or the Operating Cash Flow to Assets ratio (OCF). This means that laying off workers did not instantly increase short-term liquidity or returns for shareholders. Even when internal variables like R&D intensity and leverage and external macroeconomic factors like GDP growth and inflation were considered, these results stayed the same.

Global Minimum Tax: Implications and Recommendations for Multinational Corporations
The implementation of the global minimum tax under the OECD's Pillar Two framework marks a pivotal shift in international taxation, designed to curb profit shifting by multinational corporations (MNCs) to low-tax jurisdictions. This research aims to analyze the mechanism of this policy and its implications for MNCs, with a specific focus on Indonesia's adoption through Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) No. 136 of 2024. Using a qualitative literature study method, this study examines the operational aspects of the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules, including the Income Inclusion Rule (IIR), Undertaxed Payment Rule (UTPR), and Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT). The findings indicate that the global minimum tax fundamentally alters the international tax competition landscape, rendering aggressive tax planning strategies less effective and significantly increasing compliance complexity for MNCs. Key implications include the need for MNCs to reassess their global tax strategies, optimize the use of Safe Harbour provisions, and strengthen tax governance frameworks. The study concludes with strategic recommendations for MNCs to navigate this new tax environment, emphasizing holistic impact assessments and the realignment of transfer pricing policies.

Lentera Disabilitas and the Light of Inclusion: Serving Citizens and Advancing the Public Interest in Banjarbaru Land Office
This study analyzes the implementation of the Lentera Disabilitas program at the Banjarbaru Land Office as an example of inclusive public service focused on serving citizens and advancing the public interest. The program aims to enhance accessibility for persons with disabilities by providing disability-friendly facilities such as ramps, inclusive waiting rooms, special service counters, and multilingual service materials. It also emphasizes a cultural shift toward empathetic and respectful service behavior. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with an internal staff member (whose identity is anonymized upon request), direct observation, and document analysis. The findings show that the program enhances employee participation, fosters humanistic service values, and strengthens public trust, particularly among persons with disabilities. However, challenges remain, including the need for more trained staff and strengthened infrastructure. The program offers important lessons on the role of empathy, collaboration, and responsiveness in building inclusive public services.

Between Commitment and Image: Greenwashing Practices in Indonesia's Palm Oil Industry
This article examines the practice of greenwashing in the sustainability reports of three major palm oil companies in Southeast Asia: PT A, PT B, and PT C. Employing the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach developed by Fairclough, this study analyzes the 2024 sustainability reports of these companies to identify the diction, discursive structures, and ideologies reproduced through corporate narratives. The findings reveal notable similarities in the use of symbolic language such as “zero deforestation,” “100% traceability,” and “net zero emission”, which are presented without methodological transparency or the inclusion of counter-narratives from civil society. Each of these companies constructs sustainability discourse as a tool for reputation and legitimacy rather than as a genuine instrument for ecological and social transformation. This article recommends a reformulation of sustainability reporting to be more reflective and accountable, incorporating risk disclosure, third-party audits, and the voices of affected communities.

Impact of Performance-Based Capitation Policy on Referral Health Services for Diabetes Mellitus Participants in the National Health Insurance Program
The increase in the number of patients with Diabetes Mellitus, including the burden of service costs, encourages the implementation of policies to carry out secondary prevention at the primary health level, including implementing the Performance-Based Capitation (KBK) policy. This study aims to evaluate the KBK policy implemented in the National Health Insurance (JKN) program on health services for Diabetes Mellitus patients at Referral Health Facilities, using the Regression Discontinuity in Time (RDIT) method on BPJS Kesehatan Sample Data from 2015 to 2020. It was found that the implementation of the policy was not accompanied by a decrease in the level of health service visits at FKRTL, which was expected to occur after the implementation of KBK. These findings align with the results of qualitative deepening through in-depth interviews, where there are obstacles in the implementation of KBK in First-Level Health Facilities (FKTP), especially in encouraging the improvement of Diabetes Mellitus services. Improvements in KBK policies are needed both in determining indicators, targets, and other supporting policies in achieving FKTP performance to encourage improvement in the output of Diabetes Mellitus health services at FKTP.

The Role of Cash Holding, Good Corporate Governance, Sales Growth, and Working Capital Turnover on Company Value: Empirical Evidence from the Basic Materials Sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
This study aims to analyze the determinants of firm value, proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), by examining the effects of cash holding, good corporate governance, sales growth, and working capital turnover on companies in the basic materials sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method, resulting in 26 observed firms. The study employs secondary data obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (www.idx.co.id). Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS version 26. The findings reveal that cash holding and working capital turnover have a positive but insignificant effect on Price to Book Value, while good corporate governance and sales growth show no significant influence on firm value. These results indicate that internal corporate factors have not yet fully explained variations in market valuation among basic materials companies in Indonesia, suggesting the need for further research to explore additional variables that may affect firm performance in the capital market context.

The Validity Justice: Immanuel Kant's Perspective in Court Decisions on Judicial Corruption (The Case of Sudrajad Dimyati)
Judicial corruption within the Indonesian judiciary represents a profound moral crisis that undermines public trust in legal institutions. This study examines the Bandung District Court Decision Number 23/Pid.Sus-TPK/2023/PN.Bdg against Sudrajad Dimyati, a Supreme Court justice convicted of bribery, through the lens of Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy. Rather than employing conventional legal-formal analysis, this research adopts a deontological ethical approach to evaluate whether the court's verdict fulfilled substantive justice principles. The research investigates two primary questions: (1) Whether the judicial decision satisfies Kantian principles of justice regarding universality, respect for dignity, moral autonomy, and procedural fairness; and (2) How Kant's moral philosophy can inform the development of judicial professional ethics codes in Indonesian courts. This qualitative investigation employs document analysis and philosophical content analysis of the case decision and relevant moral philosophy literature. Findings demonstrate that while the verdict adhered to formal positive law requirements, significant tensions emerged regarding consistency of legal precedent when the appellate court reduced sentences based on humanitarian grounds. Most critically, the institutional system has not yet internalized moral autonomy and universal ethical principles as foundational to judicial governance. This research concludes that implementing four Kantian principles—universality, respect for dignity, moral autonomy, and procedural justice—establishes essential foundations for deontological ethics-based institutional reform of the Indonesian judicial system.

Qur'an Studies and Islamic Education A Critical Pedagogic Perspective: An Analysis of Contemporary Interpretation
This article explores the conceptual relationship between Islamic education and critical pedagogy, two intellectual traditions that share the same emancipatory mission: to liberate human beings from ignorance, oppression, and moral alienation. Drawing upon a literature-based analysis of the works of Paulo Freire, Farid Esack, Fazlur Rahman, and Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, this study reveals that both traditions converge in a Islamic education–critical paradigm a framework of education that integrates spiritual consciousness, moral responsibility, and social justice. The study argues that critical pedagogy enriches the practical dimension of Islamic education by emphasizing dialogical learning, participatory reflection, and critical awareness, while Islamic epistemology provides a theological foundation for ethics, purpose, and transcendence within educational practice. In this synthesis, education becomes not merely a transfer of knowledge, but a praxis of liberation that combines ‘ilm (knowledge), ‘amal (action), and ‘adl (justice) under the unity of tawhid. Ultimately, this research concludes that Islamic education grounded in critical pedagogy can cultivate learners who are both spiritually conscious and socially transformative individuals who seek the divine through justice and the human through faith.

The Influence of Financial Distress, Capital Intensity, and Leverage on Tax Avoidance with Institutional Ownership as Moderating Variable in Food and Beverage Companies at IDX
The research is motivated by persistent tax revenue shortfalls and reported losses due to tax avoidance practices, particularly within Indonesia's strategic food and beverage sector. This research aims to analyze and empirically test the influence of financial distress, capital intensity, and leverage on tax avoidance in food and beverage sub-sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) from 2020–2024. This quantitative research uses the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) method, processed with Eviews 13. The population for this study comprises food and beverage sub-sector companies, with a sample size of 31 companies. Based on the research results, it was found that financial distress has a positive effect on tax avoidance, while capital intensity and leverage do not affect tax avoidance. The moderation test results indicate that the institutional ownership variable cannot moderate the influence of financial distress, capital intensity, and leverage on tax avoidance. The study concludes that these specific financial factors are not primary drivers of tax avoidance in the sampled context, suggesting that regulators and corporate governance mechanisms should look beyond these variables to more effectively address tax compliance.

The Relationship between Verbal Abuse and Anxiety in Young Adult Women in Dating Relationships
Verbal abuse in dating relationships is often overlooked and considered a normal conflict, even though it can have a significant impact on mental health, especially in young adult women who are in a vulnerable stage of development. This study aims to analyze the relationship between verbal abuse and anxiety levels in young adult women in dating relationships. The study used a correlational quantitative design with 155 participants aged 18–25 years in Surabaya who had experienced verbal abuse from their partners. The instruments used were the Conflict Tactics Scale 2 (CTS2) to measure verbal abuse and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to measure anxiety. The data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation test with the help of JASP software. The results showed a significant positive relationship between verbal abuse and anxiety levels (r = 0.855, p <.001), which means that the higher the experience of verbal abuse, the higher the level of anxiety experienced. These findings reinforce emotion regulation theory and attachment theory, which state that negative interpersonal experiences can disrupt emotion regulation and reinforce anxious attachment patterns, leading to increased anxiety symptoms. In conclusion, verbal abuse in dating relationships has serious implications for mental health, requiring preventive interventions and counseling that emphasize strengthening emotion regulation and healthy relationship literacy.

Law Enforcement Against Children Who Are Narcotics Traffickers Based on the Influence of the Family Environment Linked to Article 55 Paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code Concerning Inclusion
Drug crimes remain a major problem, and their existence is still being combated. The main problem in this research is the weak application of Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code in cases involving children involved in drug trafficking due to family influence. Adult perpetrators who instruct or exploit children often escape prosecution. The purpose of this research is to analyze the forms of law enforcement against child drug traffickers influenced by family influence, explain the reasons for the non-implementation of Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code in cases involving children and parents, and identify obstacles faced by law enforcement officials in Riau Province.

Molecular and Nutritional Review of Phenylketonuria: Implications for Clinical Management
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene, which inhibits the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine and leads to the accumulation of toxic metabolites. This disorder leads to neurotransmitter deficits, neurological dysfunction, and systemic complications if not addressed early. The primary management of PKU is a lifelong low-phenylalanine diet supported by a phenylalanine-free formula, macronutrient and micronutrient regulation, and pharmacological therapy. Understanding the molecular basis, nutrition, and current therapies is crucial to optimize clinical management and prevent long-term neurodegenerative consequences in individuals with PKU.

The Influence of Horizontal Communication, Upward Communication, and Downward Communication on Generation Z Employee Performance at PT Bank Mandiri Tegal Area
This study aims to analyze the effect of three forms of organizational communication—horizontal communication, upward communication, and downward communication—on employee performance at PT Bank Mandiri Area Tegal. This research stems from the importance of communication effectiveness in banking organizations that are hierarchical and complex, where internal communication barriers often negatively impact employee performance. The novelty of this research lies in its approach, which simultaneously examines the three directions of communication within one integrative model—a perspective that has not been comprehensively studied in the Indonesian banking sector. The method used is a quantitative approach with an explanatory research type and census technique, sampling the entire employee population of 30 people. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that the three independent variables had a positive and significant influence on employee performance. Horizontal communication contributed 27.6%, upward communication 27.9%, and downward communication 27.3% to performance improvement. This finding confirms that effective two-way and lateral communication is essential to driving productivity, engagement, and collaboration in the work environment.

Work-Life Balance Among Generation Z Employees At Bank Bri Semarang Regional Office
The rising involvement of Generation Z in the banking sector introduces new challenges regarding work-life balance (WLB). This generation places strong emphasis on flexibility, mental well-being, and a healthy balance between personal life and work, while the banking industry is characterized by high pressure, long working hours, and hierarchical structures. This study aims to explore how Generation Z employees at Bank BRI Regional Office Semarang perceive work-life balance, the obstacles they encounter, and the strategies they employ to maintain balance. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with five Generation Z employees and two managerial informants for triangulation. The findings reveal that Gen Z interprets WLB not only as time allocation, but also psychological involvement, emotional satisfaction, and the ability to manage boundaries between work and personal life, aligned with the principles of Border Theory. Key barriers identified include extended working hours, significant overtime demands, mechanistic organizational culture, and limited schedule flexibility. Despite these challenges, Gen Z employees adopt several strategies such as effective time management, priority setting, assertive communication, and reliance on social support and digital tools for self-recovery. The study provides theoretical contributions by extending the application of Border Theory to the context of Gen Z in Indonesia’s banking industry and practical contributions by offering recommendations for designing adaptive work policies that enhance the well-being and retention of young employees.

Juridical Analysis of Using the Panel Body Suspension Strategy and Jurisprudence in "Similar Matter" Trade Dispute Settlement at the WTO (Case Studies DS593 and DS600)
The handling of WTO disputes DS593 (Indonesia vs. the European Union) and DS600 (Malaysia vs. the European Union) concerning the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) demonstrates the strategic use of Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) procedures in managing institutional risk and ensuring jurisprudential coherence amid the Appellate Body impasse. Both disputes focused on allegations of de facto discrimination in the treatment of palm oil-based biofuels under TBT Article 2.1 and GATT Article III:4. The appointment of identical Panelists under DSU Article 9.3 ensured consistency in findings—acknowledging the legitimacy of the EU’s environmental objectives under GATT Articles XX(b) and XX(g), while concluding that their implementation failed the procedural fairness standards of the GATT Article XX chapeau due to arbitrary administration. Moreover, Indonesia’s use of DSU Article 12.12 to delay the DS593 Panel report until after DS600’s publication illustrates the tactical use of procedural rights to maximize political and legal leverage. These findings highlight both the procedural sophistication of developing countries in WTO litigation and the ongoing tension between environmental legitimacy and equitable trade governance.
