, Semarang Regency, Indonesia, the research evaluates its impact on the community's waste management practices and economic potential. The descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving interviews with 30 participants from the Family Empowerment and Welfare Group. Findings reveal that waste banks effectively increase awareness about waste sorting and recycling. Through systematic waste management, including sorting and depositing waste, communities gained both financial benefits and environmental improvements. Data from two implementation phases (June and August 2024) show a significant increase in waste deposits and financial returns for participants. Inorganic waste, such as plastic bottles, used cooking oil, and boxes, were transformed into valuable commodities, demonstrating the circular economy concept. The study highlights the importance of community involvement and education in achieving sustainable waste management. Waste banks not only reduce waste volume at landfills but also contribute to economic resilience, environmental conservation, and social harmony. The findings suggest that waste banks serve as a practical model for waste valorization, aligning with sustainable development goals.

donesia’s Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost (3T) regions before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing a quantitative approach, this research analyzes panel data from 62 regencies categorized as 3T regions from 2017 to 2022. The study uses panel data regression analysis to evaluate the influence of these expenditures on economic outcomes. Findings indicate that government spending in the education sector consistently had a positive effect on economic growth before and after the pandemic. Conversely, expenditure in social protection and HDI shifted from having a positive to a negative impact post-pandemic. Meanwhile, investments in public services, infrastructure, and overall investment, which previously had a negative impact, showed a positive influence in the post-pandemic period. Overall, government spending across all sectors had a simultaneous and significant positive effect on economic growth in the 3T regions. These results underscore the need for evidence-based policy interventions to enhance the effectiveness of government spending in promoting equitable economic growth in underdeveloped areas.

Abstract:BUMN, as a state-owned company, aims to gain profit and provide services and benefits to the community. However, BUMN governance has been in the spotlight due to the rampant corruption cases, such as those that occurred…
in Jiwasraya and Asabri. Data from the KPK shows that between 2017 and 2023, there were 143 corruption cases in BUMN/BUMD. This study aims to examine and analyze the influence of internal audit practices and organizational commitment on the effectiveness of internal control and fraud prevention in BUMN. The research method uses associative causal with a quantitative approach. Data analysis was carried out using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the Smart PLS application. The research instrument used a questionnaire with respondents of the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) who conducted audits of BUMN, so that it is expected to provide more independent answers for measuring each variable. The results of the study indicate that internal audit practices have a significant positive effect on the effectiveness of internal control and fraud prevention. Organizational commitment also has a significant positive effect on the effectiveness of internal control, but does not have a significant effect on fraud prevention. Internal control effectiveness does not mediate the effect of internal audit practices or organizational commitment on fraud prevention. The implications of the research results are the importance of improving internal audit practices and organizational commitment as an effort to improve the effectiveness of internal control, although the implementation of fraud prevention requires an additional integrated approach.

The measuring tools used in this research are Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA), Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS), dan Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The result showed that self-esteem didn’t significantly affect academic stress, but when together with perfectionism (maladaptive perfectionism) these two variables interact and contribute significantly to academic stress. The results of the coefficient of determination show that the contribution of perfectionism and self-esteem is 4,4% to academic stress. This shows that 4.4% of academic stress is influenced by perfectionism (maladaptive perfectionism) and self-esteem, 95.6% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study.
