Does Company Size and  Profitability Matter? Investigating the Moderating Effects of Growth in Cash Flow on Stock Performance

Agus Fuadi, Dian Sulistyorini Wulandari, Fedia Chairunnisa
Abstract: This research examines the intricate relationships between company size, growth in cash flow, and stock performance, revealing complexities that challenge traditional financial analysis. While company size is often associated… iated with stable stock performance due to advantages such as economies of scale and market power, the findings indicate that size alone does not positively impact stock performance. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that growth in cash flow does not significantly moderate the relationship between company size and stock performance. This suggests that external factors, such as regulatory changes or market sentiment, may play a more decisive role. The results underscore that cash flow, while an important indicator of financial health, does not enhance the influence of company size on stock performance, particularly in certain industries where external conditions prevail. This underscores the need for a more comprehensive evaluation approach that considers a broader range of factors when assessing stock performance. It's time to move beyond traditional metrics like profitability and cash flow growth and equip ourselves with a more robust set of tools for analysis. Ultimately, this research advocates for a multifactorial approach to stock performance evaluation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the interplay between various variables, including industry trends and macroeconomic conditions. By adopting this comprehensive perspective, investors and analysts can make more informed decisions and strategies, enhancing their ability to navigate the complexities of the financial markets.

The Influence of Earnings Management on the Value Relevance of Accounting Information

Rahmah, Rahmah, Rezki Akbar Norrahman
Abstract: This research aims to investigate the influence of earnings management practices on the value relevance of accounting information in the Indonesian business environment. The research method used is qualitative with a library… rary study approach and document content analysis. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with related parties such as auditors and financial managers, as well as analysis of the contents of documents in the form of financial reports and company meeting notes. The research results show that earnings management practices can reduce the value relevance of accounting information by affecting the quality of information conveyed in financial reports. Practices such as increasing revenue estimates or delaying expense recognition can cloud the picture of a company's true performance, which in turn affects economic decision making. These findings emphasize the importance of transparency and integrity in accounting practices to maintain the value relevance of accounting information for stakeholders. The implication of this research for accounting theory is the need to pay attention to earnings management practices within a broader theoretical framework regarding the integrity of accounting information. From a practical perspective, companies need to increase awareness of the importance of honest accounting practices and comply with applicable standards to minimize unethical earnings management practices. This implication is also relevant for regulators in strengthening regulations related to financial reporting in order to maintain the integrity of the capital market in Indonesia.

Consumer Protection In Islamic Law: Thematic Analysis Of Hadith On Khiyar in Islamic Law and Its Contextualization In The Digital Age

Muh Tabran, Muhammadiyah Amin, Abdul Rahman Sakka
Abstract: This study aims to examine the authenticity of Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 2112 regarding the right of khiyar through a comprehensive takhrij method to ensure the validity of the evidence in muamalah policy. Additionally, this… his study examines the mechanism of transmitting legal texts without editorial changes and compares the ijtihad of the four schools of jurisprudence regarding time limits to provide consumer protection solutions in the digital age. The methodology employed is normative legal research using a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach through library research. Data collection techniques involved cataloging hadiths on khiyar from the Kutubus Sittah, identifying the structure of the isnad, and analyzing key vocabulary (mufradat). Data analysis was conducted through stages of isnad criticism to assess the quality of the narrators, systematic analysis of the matn, comparative analysis across schools of thought, and the synchronization of traditional principles with modern economic realities. The research results indicate that the hadiths on khiyar possess exceptional chain of transmission quality within the Silsilah adz-Dzahab tradition, ensuring the text’s accuracy free from distortion over fourteen centuries. Regarding the time limit for khiyar syarat, differing viewpoints were identified: the Shafi’i school limits it to a maximum of three days, while the Maliki school allows a duration of up to 38 days depending on the type of object. In conclusion, the principle of khiyar remains relevant in the digital economy through the transformation of the order cancellation feature as a manifestation of khiyar majelis, as well as the return policy as an application of khiyar aib and khiyar syarat. The implications of this research emphasize that the ethical values of khiyar can serve as a foundation for regulators in refining consumer protection laws to minimize information asymmetry and ensure full consent (antaradin) in every online transaction

Interkoneksi Ism Fā’il dan Kaidah Keumuman Lafaz dalam ushhulut tafsir Al-Qur’an

Naufal Firdaus, Andi Irawan, Aini Fikri, Ahmad Dasuki
Abstract: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis interkoneksi antara struktur morfologis Ism Fā'il dengan kaidah al-'ibrah bi 'umum al-lafzh la bi khushush as-sabab dalam metodologi ushulut tafsir. Permasalahan utama yang dikaji… kaji adalah bagaimana karakteristik linguistik Islam Fā'il mendukung universalitas pesan Al-Qur'an sehingga tidak terjebak dalam batasan historis asbab an-nuzul. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif berdasarkan studi pustaka (library study), penelitian ini membedah sifat tsubut (tetap) dan istimrar (kontinuitas) pada Ism Fa'il sebagai fondasi bahasa bagi keumuman lafaz. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemilihan Ism Fa'il dalam teks Al-Qur'an, seperti pada lafaz as-sariqu dalam Surah Al-Mā'idah ayat 38, secara inheren menciptakan kategori hukum yang inklusif dan dinamis. Dalam konteks keindonesiaan, pemikiran Quraish Shihab menunjukkan bahwa interkoneksi ini memungkinkan hukum Al-Qur'an tetap konsisten secara prinsip namun fleksibel dalam operasionalisasinya, menyesuaikan dengan realitas sosial-yuridis yang majemuk. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa struktur gramatikal Arab merupakan instrumen vital yang menjamin aktualitas pesan Ilahi sepanjang ruang dan waktu.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EXPLAINABLE AI USING LIME AND SHAP FOR DIABETES PREDICTION BASED ON LIFESTYLE FACTORS

Ricky Salim, Agung Mulyo Widodo
Abstract: The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted the healthcare sector, particularly in supporting the early detection of diabetes; however, many AI models still face challenges due to their… ir black-box nature, where decision-making processes are not easily understood. This study aims to compare two Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods, namely Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) and SHapley Additive Explanations (SHAP), in interpreting the prediction results of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model using the Diabetes Health Indicator dataset. Prior to modeling, the data were preprocessed through cleaning and normalization to ensure quality and consistency. The trained ANN model was then analyzed using LIME and SHAP to evaluate the contribution of each feature to the prediction outcomes. The results show that both methods are capable of providing meaningful and interpretable explanations, although SHAP demonstrates more consistent and stable interpretations across the dataset. These findings highlight the importance of integrating XAI techniques to enhance model transparency, thereby increasing trust and supporting more reliable decision-making in clinical settings, particularly for diabetes diagnosis.

An Analysis of Denotative and Connotative Meaning in Students’ Utterances in the Campus Environment

Moria Afriani Stefani Silaban, Bernieke Anggita Ristia Damanik
Abstract: This research is designed to examine how students use both denotative and connotative meanings in their everyday utterances within the campus environment. In daily communication, students do not rely solely on literal meanings;… anings; instead, their language often conveys implied messages shaped by context, cultural background, and patterns of social interaction. To explore this phenomenon, the study applies a qualitative descriptive approach, focusing on naturally occurring conversations among students in various campus settings. Data were collected through careful observation and documentation of students’ spoken interactions, allowing for an in-depth understanding of how meaning is constructed in real-life situations. The results indicate that students actively employ both denotative and connotative meanings in their speech. However, connotative meanings appear more dominant, particularly in informal contexts such as casual conversations with peers. This tendency highlights the role of language as a flexible and dynamic tool for expression. Furthermore, the frequent use of connotative language demonstrates students’ creativity in conveying ideas, emotions, and attitudes. It also reflects how language functions as a marker of social identity, helping students build relationships and express group belonging within the academic community.

Abstract: This study examines the implementation of the Local Tax on Certain Goods and Services (PBJT) in hotels in Bogor Regency and its impact on Regional Original Revenue (PAD) after Law No. 1 of 2022. Using a quantitative approach&#8230; oach based on Edward III’s model, the study analyzes communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Data from 684 respondents were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results show PBJT significantly increases PAD (R²: 71.7%–76.0%; p < 0.001), with bureaucratic structure and resources as the most influential factors. However, challenges remain, including unclear communication, limited resources, and low taxpayer compliance. Strengthening institutional capacity, improving coordination, and enhancing taxpayer compliance are recommended to optimize PAD.
