l economic growth in both the short and long term. The research applies a quantitative design using secondary time series data obtained from official institutions, including export data from the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia and economic growth data from the Central Statistics Agency.

The results show that in the short run, export value has a positive and significant influence on economic growth, while in the long run, it shows a positive but insignificant relationship.
Abstract:Employment is an activity undertaken by individuals to earn income in order to sustain a decent standard of living. Employment relationships are established through agreements between employers and workers, and such agreements…
ements should ensure decent work conditions. However, in reality, there is insufficient government supervision in ensuring the fulfillment of workers’ rights in accordance with Law No. 13 of 2003. The distribution of rights for female workers is also not optimally implemented. In addition, workforce skills remain a concern, as many workers only possess primary to junior secondary education. Furthermore, freelance work has become increasingly popular due to its flexibility in time and location.
Therefore, solutions are needed to address employment issues in Bengkulu Province. Data collection in this study was conducted through interviews with the Bengkulu Provincial Manpower Office. Data analysis employed a qualitative approach. The findings indicate that many workers are engaged in seasonal sectors with unstable income. The Bengkulu Provincial Manpower Office has implemented programs such as job fairs, vocational training and education, and occupational health and safety socialization. Generation Z is perceived as less loyal and tends to frequently change jobs, showing a strong preference for freelance work due to its flexibility. Policy development is needed to provide legal protection for workers. Recommended actions include stricter enforcement against companies violating labor rights, particularly those committing violence against female workers, conducting awareness programs in collaboration with the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection and labor protection institutions, and optimizing integrated reporting systems to accelerate the resolution of such cases.

Dalam konteks ini, pemanfaatan media sosial sebagai strategi public relations menjadi penting untuk membentuk persepsi positif konsumen. Instagram dipilih karena memiliki daya tarik visual yang kuat serta tingkat interaktivitas yang tinggi di kalangan pengguna. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei terhadap 100 responden perempuan usia produktif yang mengikuti akun @mustikaratuind. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Data dianalisis menggunakan regresi linier sederhana dan uji t untuk menilai pengaruh cyber public relations (transparency, internet porosity, the internet as an agent, dan richness in content and reach) terhadap citra merek (strength of brand associations, favorability of brand associations, dan uniqueness of brand associations). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cyber public relations berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap citra merek, dibuktikan dengan nilai t hitung sebesar 11,839 yang lebih besar dari t tabel 1,9844. Nilai koefisien determinasi (R Square) sebesar 58,9% menunjukkan bahwa variabel cyber public relations mampu menjelaskan 58,9% variasi dalam citra merek, sedangkan 41,1% sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar penelitian ini" karena saya mau menjelaskan bahwa seberapa besar variabel X (cyber public relations) mampu menjelaskan variasi pada variabel Y (citra merek). Kekuatan hubungan ini berada pada kategori sedang, artinya cyber public relations cukup efektif namun masih memerlukan peningkatan untuk mencapai kategori kuat. Berdasarkan hasil ini, disarankan agar Mustika Ratu memperkuat kreativitas konten sekaligus mempertahankan interaksi positif dengan audiens melalui media sosial serta inovasi produk agar citra merek lebih kompetitif.

ncreasingly integrating sustainability strategies, such as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), environmental management, and sustainable financial policies, into their operations. The research identifies the main issues faced by businesses in implementing these practices and explores the impact of sustainability on both financial and non-financial performance. The findings indicate that companies adopting sustainability practices show improvements in profitability, efficiency, customer loyalty, and employee satisfaction. For instance, companies in sectors such as energy and manufacturing experienced a notable increase in Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) after integrating sustainability efforts. Furthermore, the study highlights the significant role of external factors such as government policies and corporate culture in the success of sustainability initiatives. The results contribute to the understanding of how businesses can leverage sustainability to achieve competitive advantage while addressing environmental and social challenges.
Abstract:This article examines gender identity within a metaphysical framework by exploring the tension between essentialist and social constructivist paradigms. The core issue addressed in this research is the absence of a conceptual…
ptual framework capable of reconciling these two traditionally opposing approaches. Essentialism regards gender as a fixed, inherent attribute, whereas constructivism emphasizes that gender is shaped by social and cultural practices. The aim of this study is to formulate a hybrid metaphysical model that integrates both perspectives through dialectical synthesis. The methodology employed involves a philosophical literature review with thematic analysis of works published within the last five years. Findings reveal that a relationally grounded hybrid model successfully merges the strengths of both paradigms, offering a more inclusive and applicable approach for social policy development. This model is viewed as critical for advancing academic discourse while also providing a robust philosophical foundation for the recognition and protection of gender diversity in contemporary society.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effect of Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) and Long Term Debt to Equity Ratio (LTDTER) on Return on Investment (ROI) at PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk during the period 2016–2023. The method used…
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.
