sed is descriptive associative with a quantitative approach, using secondary data in the form of the company's quarterly financial reports obtained through purposive sampling techniques. The analytical tools used include Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis, coefficient of determination (R²), t-test and F-test, and multiple linear regression. The results of the study show that DAR has a negative correlation with ROI of -0.607, while LTDTER also shows a negative correlation of -0.478, both of which are included in the weak relationship category. The coefficient of determination value of 50.4% indicates that half of the variation in ROI can be explained by the two independent variables, while the remaining 49.6% is influenced by other factors outside the study. The F test shows that DAR and LTDTER simultaneously have a significant effect on ROI. This finding confirms that a high debt-based capital structure has a negative impact on investment returns, making it important for financial management to consider the efficiency of long-term debt use and total debt in long-term financial strategies.

Abstract:This study examines the role of textual practice (micro-structure) in shaping humanitarian narratives in news coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict by CNN US and CNN Indonesia. Employing Fairclough’s Critical Discourse…
urse Analysis (CDA), the research identifies key linguistic features, including lexical choices, sentence structure, modality, rhetorical devices, and pronoun usage, that contribute to the ideological framing of news articles. The findings indicate that CNN US employs neutral and euphemistic language, passive constructions, and hedging devices to maintain journalistic objectivity, whereas CNN Indonesia utilizes emotionally charged language, active voice, and definitive claims to frame the conflict with a strong pro-Palestinian stance. These textual differences underscore the influence of language in constructing public perceptions of humanitarian crises.
Abstract:Marriage Law in Indonesia is the result of the convergence between Islamic legal principles and state regulations, as outlined in Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). This study aims…
to analyze how Islamic law and positive law interact in regulating marriage and to what extent their convergence occurs in the practice of religious courts and within the Muslim community in Indonesia. The research employs a normative approach by analyzing sources of Islamic law, statutory regulations, and religious court rulings related to marriage. The findings indicate that although Indonesia’s marriage law is based on Sharia principles, several adjustments have been made to align with positive law to ensure justice and protection for all parties, particularly in aspects such as marriage registration, minimum marriage age, and women's rights. The convergence between Islamic law and positive law reflects efforts to harmonize religious values with national legal interests. However, challenges remain in its implementation, particularly concerning child marriage, polygamy, and divorce, which often spark debates in society. Therefore, further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of Indonesia’s marriage regulations and how Islamic law can continue to adapt within the framework of a modern legal state.

The majority of respondents acknowledge the importance of integrity in daily life, demonstrate a fair understanding of corruption issues, and recognize a significant role for students in anti-corruption efforts. However, skepticism exists regarding the effectiveness of Indonesia's legal system in addressing corruption. The findings underscore the need for enhanced education on the dangers of corruption, the reinforcement of integrity values, and a call for more transparent and rigorous law enforcement.

Abstract:This research comprehensively examines the use of relative pronouns in English and their implications for language learning, both in academic and practical contexts. Relative pronouns such as who, whom, which, that, and…
whose are essential grammatical elements in complex sentence construction and play a vital role in producing cohesive writing. Through a methodological approach combining descriptive analysis, literature studies, and field research involving 100 English major students, this research investigates various aspects of relative pronoun usage, including grammatical functions, contexts of use, common error patterns, and effective learning strategies. Research findings reveal that 75% of learner difficulties are related to misunderstandings in distinguishing between the use of who and whom, as well as confusion in the placement of that and which. Further analysis shows a significant correlation between mastery of relative pronouns and academic writing ability. This research also identifies and proposes a series of innovative learning strategies, including contextual approaches and corpus-based learning, which have proven effective in improving the understanding and use of relative pronouns. These findings provide substantial contributions to the development of English language learning materials and offer practical implications for teachers in designing more effective teaching strategies for the topic of relative pronouns.
Abstract:This qualitative descriptive study investigated the impact of using board games into English vocabulary instruction for eleventh-grade students at MA Miftahul Ulum Bettet. Data were collected through classroom observations,…
ions, structured interviews with five students and the teacher, and document analysis (lesson plans, student reflections). Thematic analysis revealed that board games significantly enhanced student engagement and motivation, fostering collaborative learning and contextualized vocabulary acquisition. Students reported increased enjoyment and improved vocabulary retention compared to traditional methods. While challenges related to time management and instructional alignment were identified, the findings strongly suggest that board games offer a valuable and effective supplementary approach to vocabulary instruction, aligning with constructivist and experiential learning principles.
Abstract:This study explores international communication management in the Department of Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP) of East Java in the context of cultural differences. The main findings indicate that DPMPTSP…
PMPTSP operates in an environment with cultural dimensions such as low power distance, individualism, masculinity, low uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation. This affects the way the institution communicates and manages its international relations. The study found that adapting communication that is sensitive to cultural differences, including values, attitudes, and etiquette, is essential to improving operational effectiveness and efficiency. The novelty of this study lies in the in-depth understanding of the application of Hofstede's cultural theory in the context of international communication management in the public sector, as well as practical recommendations to overcome cultural challenges in international interactions.
