Abstract:This study analyzes the determinants of food insufficiency prevalence across 34 provinces in Indonesia using a quantile regression approach. The research focuses on three key variables: the Food Security Index (IKP), rice…
e productivity (PVP), and per capita food expenditure (PPM), using 2023 cross-sectional data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). Results from ordinary least squares (OLS) and quantile regression at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles reveal that the Food Security Index has a consistent and significant negative effect on food insufficiency across all quantiles, with the strongest influence observed at the higher quantile (τ = 0.75). In contrast, rice productivity is not statistically significant at any quantile, while per capita food expenditure is only marginally significant at the 25th quantile. These findings suggest that improvements in food security contribute significantly to reducing food inadequacy, especially in regions with high prevalence rates. However, the impact of rice productivity and food spending varies across different segments, implying that context-specific policies are needed. The study recommends targeted government interventions to enhance food access, affordability, and regional food security equity.

at varies between religious communities as part of the implementation of Pancasila values. Balun Village is located in Turi sub-district, Lamongan district. This village is often visited by Pancasila tourists from various circles, ranging from elementary school, middle school, high school students, even students who conduct research there. It is good in the village. The nickname of the village "Pancasila" for Balun, Turi sub-district, Lamongan regency, East Java, contains the values of Pancasila and tolerance that develop in it. The village, which is 4 kilometers from the city of Lamongan, is inhabited by three religious adherents who not only respect and appreciate each other but also make inter-religious harmony in their society as an identity for their village. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. This approach was chosen because in this study the variable is about "Inter-Religious Tolerance" so that in-depth information is needed through the process of observation, interviews, and documentation.
Abstract:This study explores the application of the Value-Based Management (VBM) approach in analyzing the financial efficiency of renewable energy projects. As the global demand for clean and sustainable energy increases, renewable…
ble energy projects play a strategic role in the energy transition but are often faced with challenges of large initial investment, technological risks, and regulatory uncertainty. The results show that the application of VBM in evaluating renewable energy projects can improve the quality of investment decision making by considering both financial and non-financial aspects holistically. VBM encourages companies to be more selective and strategic in choosing projects that are not only economically feasible, but also socially and environmentally sustainable. In addition, this approach provides a strong framework for aligning managerial objectives with shareholder interests, improving corporate governance, and strengthening transparency in the process of evaluating and reporting project performance.

s, and strategic frameworks essential for sustainable growth. The research highlights the interconnections between technology adoption, policy frameworks, and market access, emphasizing the need for an inclusive approach that addresses the needs of smallholder farmers who constitute a significant portion of the agricultural workforce. Through a comprehensive review of current literature, case studies, and empirical data analysis, the study identifies key challenges facing the agricultural sector, such as climate change, land degradation, and access to resources. Innovations in agricultural practices, including precision farming, biotechnology, and sustainable land management, are discussed as vital components for enhancing productivity and resilience. Additionally, the role of policy interventions in promoting agricultural research and development, facilitating access to markets, and ensuring food security is critically assessed. The findings indicate that fostering collaboration among stakeholders—governments, private sectors, and local communities—is crucial for achieving sustainable agricultural development. Ultimately, this research aims to provide actionable insights and policy recommendations that promote agricultural innovation and improve the livelihoods of farmers, thereby contributing to enhanced food security and economic prosperity.
Abstract:Nature inherently provides essential resources for human sustenance. Consequently, natural resources and environmental services are increasingly utilized. However, escalating population growth and rising income levels have…
ve led to a decline in the value and quality of these resources. Uncontrolled exploitation, environmental neglect, and inadequate structured recording pose significant threats to the sustainability of natural capital at the local community level. This study investigates the potential for implementing environmental accounting practices in Umbele Village to facilitate the preparation of sustainable natural capital accounts, utilizing primary data gathered through interviews and field observations. The findings reveal that the majority of Umbele's inhabitants heavily rely on natural resources, which are increasingly affected by environmental degradation and climate change. Current governmental interventions to address these challenges are perceived as insufficient, compounded by a lack of corporate responsibility.

6 people. The method used for sampling to be used in the study was saturated sampling (census). The results of the validity test of deception behavior on the scale obtained 22 items that met the criteria as valid items and 10 items were declared invalid from a total of 32 items. The self-concept scale obtained 22 items that met the criteria as valid items and 14 items were declared invalid from a total of 36 items. Based on the results of the analysis of research data to test the hypothesis, the r value was obtained as 0.938 and the p value was 0.000, meaning p <0.05, this means that there is a relationship between self-concept and deception behavior in social media users at International College X. So it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between self-concept and deception behavior in social media users at Jakarta International College.
Abstract:This research uses a case study methodology to examine the social interactions of early adult women raised in single-parent households where the father figure has been absent since childhood. Data were collected through…
interviews, observations, and field notes. The study reveals that the informants had strong attachments to their fathers and experienced deep grief upon their fathers' deaths, which led to social withdrawal and reluctance to engage with the opposite sex. The absence of a father figure significantly impacted the informants' social development, particularly in forming relationships with the opposite sex. Informants expressed feelings of loss and were reluctant to open up to others, especially men, due to their grief and a sense of abandonment. Despite these challenges, the informants eventually adapted by accepting the reality of their father’s death, finding comfort in spiritual growth and learning to accept themselves. This study highlights the long-lasting effects of father absence on social behaviors, particularly in early adulthood, and how these individuals navigate their relationships with others.
Abstract:The rapid integration of financial technology (FinTech), artificial intelligence (AI), and social media has transformed global investment behavior, reshaping the psychological dynamics of modern investors. This paper examines…
mines how digital technologies amplify behavioral biases such as overconfidence, herding, and recency bias within contemporary financial markets. Using a descriptive qualitative approach supported by literature synthesis and case studies, it explores the interplay between investor psychology and technological systems. Findings indicate that while FinTech platforms democratize access to financial markets, their gamified features and algorithmic personalization reinforce impulsive and emotionally driven trading. AI-based advisory systems, though designed to enhance decision accuracy, often introduce automation bias and confirmation loops that distort rational judgment. Social media ecosystems further accelerate herding and emotional contagion by promoting conformity through peer validation and viral sentiment. The study highlights ethical and regulatory challenges associated with behavioral exploitation and algorithmic transparency, emphasizing the need for robust investor protection frameworks and behavioral literacy programs. Ultimately, it concludes that technology in finance must balance innovation with responsibility, ensuring that digital tools empower investors without amplifying cognitive biases or undermining market integrity.

copus as journals with reputable and accountable research outputs. The Scopus database was used as data in this study. This study uses a comparative qualitative method of analysis by comparing documents published in developed and developing countries. The results of this study show that; 1) The development of research related to democracy and bureaucracy based on the Scopus database has decreased significantly in 2017-2020, increased in 2021 and decreased again in 2022. 2) The predominance of research related to democracy and bureaucracy occurs in the United State, where the country is a full-fledged democracy. 3) The connectedness of the study during 2015-2022 is divided into 8 clusters, each cluster displays a comparison of countries with the interconnectedness between countries involved in the research. 4) The high weberianess of the state bureaucracy is due to the professional public administration before democracy combined with electoral competition and non-ethnic politics. Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan are examples. Argentine hyper-presidentialism exacerbates top-down politicization of public administration and personalist patronage.
Abstract:The rapid expansion of digital communication technologies has transformed the structure of human interaction within hyperconnected societies. This study examines the emergence of digital intimacy and its implications for…
the decline of authentic human presence in contemporary communication practices. Using a qualitative conceptual approach grounded in communication theory, media ecology, existential philosophy, and critical digital studies, this article explores how social media platforms, algorithmic systems, and virtual interaction reshape intimacy, identity, and relational experience. The findings reveal that hyperconnectivity produces a paradoxical condition in which individuals remain continuously connected yet increasingly experience emotional fragmentation, loneliness, performative communication, and communicative fatigue. The study introduces the concept of “presence erosion” to explain the weakening of embodied interaction and existential closeness caused by excessive technological mediation. Furthermore, the article argues that digital capitalism commodifies emotional expression and social interaction through engagement-driven communication systems that prioritize visibility over authenticity. Although digital technologies provide opportunities for global connectivity and social participation, they simultaneously threaten the depth of human relationships by replacing direct presence with symbolic and algorithmic interaction. This study contributes to global communication scholarship by offering an interdisciplinary theoretical framework for understanding the crisis of presence in digital civilization. Ultimately, the article emphasizes the importance of reconstructing communicative ethics grounded in empathy, attentiveness, and authentic human engagement within increasingly mediated social environments.
