The Role of Economic Diplomacy and Bilateral Cooperation in Promoting Foreign Investment: The Mediating Effect of Political Stability
Foreign Investment Growth is influenced by a broad range of interconnected determinants that extend beyond conventional economic factors, including the implementation of Economic Diplomacy, the strength of Bilateral Cooperation, and the level of Political Stability, all of which collectively shape the attractiveness of a country's investment environment. In response to this perspective, the present study examines the influence of Economic Diplomacy and Bilateral Cooperation on Foreign Investment Growth by incorporating Political Stability as a mediating construct. The research adopted a quantitative approach involving 75 purposively selected respondents consisting of government representatives, business professionals, academics, and researchers specializing in investment, international trade, and international relations. Primary data were obtained through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique implemented in SmartPLS software. The analytical framework comprised the assessment of the measurement model (outer model), evaluation of the structural model (inner model), and hypothesis testing using the bootstrapping procedure. The empirical findings reveal that Economic Diplomacy has a negative but statistically significant effect on Foreign Investment (β = -0.271; p = 0.033), while exerting a positive and statistically significant influence on Bilateral Cooperation (β = 0.723; p < 0.001). In addition, Bilateral Cooperation positively and significantly affects Foreign Investment (β = 0.378; p = 0.043). Political Stability also demonstrates a positive and statistically significant impact on Foreign Investment (β = 0.525; p = 0.002), whereas its relationship with Bilateral Cooperation is positive but does not reach statistical significance (β = 0.067; p = 0.556). The structural model explains 57.7% of the variance in Bilateral Cooperation and 36.5% of the variance in Foreign Investment. Overall, the results indicate that stronger Bilateral Cooperation and sustained Political Stability represent the principal determinants supporting Foreign Investment Growth, while Economic Diplomacy continues to exert a statistically significant direct effect despite the negative direction of its estimated relationship.

A Comparative Analysis of the Principles of Islamic Ethical Trade and the Concept of Liberal International Relations
The contemporary international trading system is dominated by the liberalism paradigm, which emphasizes free trade, deregulation, and the accumulation of material profit. However, this system is often criticized for fueling economic inequality and neglecting moral considerations. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the principles of ethical trade in Islamic Economics with the concept of international trade from the perspective of Liberal International Relations. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review approach, this study examines the key literature from both paradigms to identify points of convergence and divergence. The findings reveal similarities between the two concepts in terms of promoting cross-border cooperation, market openness, and rejecting extreme protectionism for the sake of the common good. Nevertheless, a fundamental difference lies in their epistemological foundations. Trade under Liberalism is anthropocentric, oriented towards individual freedom and maximum material gain. Conversely, Islamic ethical trade is theocentric in nature, linking economic activity to moral boundaries, social justice, mutual consent, and the prohibition of exploitative practices. This study concludes that the concept of Islamic ethical trade can serve as a moral corrective to the shortcomings of the liberal free-trade system, with a view to realizing a more just global economic order.
The Effect of Financial Literacy and Access to Capital on MSME Performance through Financial Management
While MSMEs are pivotal to regional economic expansion, their growth is often impeded by poor financial literacy, funding constraints, and suboptimal financial management. This quantitative study investigates the influence of financial literacy and capital access on MSME performance in Gorontalo Province, positioning financial management as a mediating variable. Data from 52 purposively sampled MSME owners were analyzed using SEM-PLS via SmartPLS 4.0. The findings indicate that both financial literacy (βbeta = 0.661, p < 0.001) and access to capital (βbeta = 0.296, p = 0.013) significantly and positively impact financial management. Consequently, financial management strongly enhances MSME performance (βbeta = 0.711, p < 0.001). Interestingly, financial literacy and capital access yield no significant direct effect on performance. Crucially, financial management fully mediates the impact of financial literacy (βbeta = 0.470, p < 0.001) and capital access (βbeta = 0.211, p = 0.040) on business performance. The novelty of this research underscores financial management as a vital bridging mechanism in Gorontalo, demonstrating that business success relies more heavily on structural budgeting capabilities rather than merely possessing financial knowledge or capital resources.
The Effect of Entrepreneurial Competencies and Digital Technology Utilization on Business Performance: The Mediating Role of Financial Management
This quantitative study evaluates the influence of business actors' competence and digitalization on the performance of MSMEs in Gorontalo Province, with financial management as a mediating variable. Using a sample of 51 MSMEs and PLS-SEM analysis (SmartPLS 4), this research fills the empirical gap due to the limited similar literature in that region. The results show that both competence and digitalization positively and significantly influence financial management and business performance. In addition to directly impacting performance, financial management is also proven to significantly mediate the relationship between these two aspects and performance achievement. Therefore, the sustainability of MSME businesses does not merely rely on general skills and digital aspects, but rather demands the implementation of healthy financial management.
Analysis of The Entry of Cash Receipt Deposit Slips in Improving the Accuracy of Financial Statements
This study aims to analyse the process of entering cash receipt deposit slips into the accounting information system and to identify issues that affect the timeliness and accuracy of recording. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation of parties directly involved in the cash receipt and recording process. The results indicate that, in general, the Deposit Slip entry procedures follow the established workflow; however, delays and input errors still occur, particularly regarding deposit amounts, account codes, and data completeness. These issues are caused by limited human resources, high transaction volumes, and weak internal controls. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that Deposit Slip data entry is a critical stage in the cash receipt accounting information system that requires procedural improvements, strengthened internal controls, and enhanced human resource competencies to improve the quality of financial reports.
Addressing Global Challenges: Indonesia’s Pursuit of Tuberculosis Eradication
This paper explores how shifting dynamics in international politics impact tuberculosis (TB) control efforts in Indonesia—currently the world’s second-highest TB burden country. With a national target to eliminate TB by 2030, Indonesia’s success hinges on sustained global health cooperation, stable funding, and resilience in its pharmaceutical supply chain. However, geopolitical changes—particularly the reorientation of U.S. foreign policy and the potential dismantling of USAID—pose significant threats to global health governance. The weakening of major institutions such as the WHO and the Global Fund, both heavily reliant on U.S. support, risks undermining Indonesia’s progress. These organizations provide crucial normative guidance, technical expertise, and financial resources to Indonesia’s TB programs. Their diminished capacity would have both direct and cascading effects on national efforts. The paper argues that Indonesia’s reliance on multilateral mechanisms renders it vulnerable to disruptions in global health leadership, raising critical questions about the sustainability and sovereignty of its TB response.
Language Strategies in Influencer Content: Building Trust and Buyer Decisions
This study aims to examine how language strategies used by influencers in TikTok live streams can build consumer trust and influence purchasing decisions. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data obtained through observation and documentation of TikTok live activities used as a product promotion medium. The results show that influencers use various language strategies in the product marketing process, including persuasive language, sharing personal experiences, using social proof, and reducing purchase risk. The persuasive strategy is most often seen in expressions that encourage the audience to buy immediately, such as emphasizing limited-time promotions or product stock availability. In addition, personal experiences shared by influencers and information about high consumer interest in products also help boost potential buyers' trust. This research finding shows that using effective language strategies on TikTok Live can be a means of communication that strengthens consumer trust while also encouraging purchase decisions.
Extractive Policies in Indonesia and Their Impact on the Environment: An Analysis of Environmental Politics and Natural Resource Governance
The extractive sector—especially mining and energy—plays a central role in Indonesia's economy, but it is also a major source of environmental degradation. This article analyses extractive policies in Indonesia and their impact on the environment using a qualitative approach and an environmental political ecology framework. This study aims to evaluate the consistency of extractive policies with the principles of sustainable development and the effectiveness of environmental governance implemented by the state. Data were obtained through literature studies on national regulations, reports of international institutions, and articles from reputable journals. The results of the study show that extractive policies in Indonesia are still oriented toward economic growth and state revenue, with weak integration of environmental protection and community participation. Policy implementation often faces problems of law enforcement, conflicts of interest, and inequality in power relations between the state, corporations, and local communities. This article recommends extractive policy reforms that emphasize the principles of environmental justice, transparency, and accountability as prerequisites for sustainable development.
Transforming Public Services under Climate Threats: Integrating Adaptive Social Protection into Minimum Service Standards in Gorontalo Province
Implementation of Minimum Social Service Standards (SPM) at the local level in Indonesia often operates in an ecological vacuum, focusing on administrative checklists and ignoring external ecological shocks. Gorontalo Province faces double pressure: fluctuations in SPM achievement and projected sea level rise (1–5 meters) in 2045–2050 that threaten more than 122,104 vulnerable groups. Objective: This study analyzes the integration of Adaptive Social Protection (PSA) based on micro-spatial risk data into the formulation and funding of regional social services. Methods: Using qualitative-interpretive methodology and policy-deliberative approaches, this study leverages SEPAKAT-DTSEN data and evaluates local institutional frameworks through Moore's Public Value Lens. Results: Findings show that social services are currently highly reactive and structurally isolated from climate mitigation schemes. There are layered vulnerabilities where 243 people with disabilities and 299 elderly people face direct displacement threats without adaptive livelihood diversification. Theoretical Contribution: This study introduces the concept of Eco-Public Value, which expands the theory of public administration by combining the provision of compulsory public services with ecological resilience. Policy Implications: In practical terms, this study offers a strategic roadmap for local governments to develop Adaptive Social Protection Regional Action Plans (RAD PSAs) and optimize alternative financing through state-religious philanthropy collaboration (BAZNAS).
Marketing Strategies to Increase Consumer Purchase Interest at Nao-Mi UMKM in Gorontalo
This community service activity aims to increase consumer purchasing interest by providing marketing strategy assistance to Nao-Mi MSMEs in Gorontalo. The main problem faced by partners is the suboptimal implementation of marketing strategies that are adaptable to changes in consumer behavior and the development of marketing media. The service method uses a participatory approach that places MSME actors as active subjects in all stages of the activity, from problem identification, planning, implementation of marketing assistance, to evaluation. The mentoring focused on strengthening understanding of marketing concepts, marketing strategy planning, and improving consumer-oriented marketing communication skills. The results of the activity show an increase in the understanding and awareness of MSME actors regarding the importance of planned and sustainable marketing strategies in attracting consumer purchasing interest. Additionally, the participatory approach encourages business owners to be more reflective and responsive to market dynamics, enabling them to manage marketing more independently. This activity makes a practical contribution to the development of MSMEs and strengthens the role of community service in supporting the improvement of local business competitiveness.

Post-Revitalization Consumer Behavior in Gorontalo City’s Traditional Market
Market revitalization is a strategic policy aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of traditional markets and sustaining their role in the local economy. This study aims to describe consumer characteristics and shopping behavior after the revitalization in one of Gorontalo's traditional markets. A descriptive quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected through structured interviews with 64 consumers during shopping activities at the market in December 2025. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, including frequency distributions, percentages, and cross-tabulations. The results indicate that market revitalization was responded to differently by consumers. Most respondents reported changes in shopping behavior, particularly in shopping frequency, shopping duration, and dressing style when visiting the market, while some consumers experienced no noticeable change. Similar behavioral patterns were observed across consumer status, income levels, and residential distance. These findings suggest that market revitalization influences not only physical conditions but also consumer behavior and shopping experiences. This study provides empirical insights that may support the formulation of consumer-oriented policies for sustainable traditional market revitalization.

Consumer Behaviour after Market Revitalization in Gorontalo City
The revitalization of traditional markets is one of the government's efforts to improve the quality of facilities and market competitiveness, which is expected to influence consumer behaviour. This study aims to analyse consumer behaviour after market revitalization in Gorontalo City by reviewing demographic characteristics, shopping behaviour, and behavioural changes that occur after revitalization. The study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through structured interviews using questionnaires of 64 purposively selected consumers by December 2025. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics in the form of frequency distribution, percentage, and cross-tabulation with the help of IBM SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The results showed that the majority of respondents were long-time consumers (73.4%), had a high school education/equivalent (54.7%), and were dominated by housewives and workers. Most respondents made purchases for personal needs (84.4%). After revitalization, 67.2% of respondents reported behavioural changes, but the majority stated that the frequency of shopping (45.3%), the duration of shopping (42.2%), and the way of dressing when shopping (62.5%) did not change. These findings show that market revitalization has more influence on consumer perception and experience than significant changes in shopping patterns. Therefore, market managers need to complement physical revitalization with improved service quality, comfort, security, and marketing strategies so that the benefits of revitalization can increase loyalty and the intensity of consumer visits.

DISRUPTIVE IMPACTS AND PARADIGM SHIFT IN UNDERGRADUATE PHYSICAL EDUCATION: THE CASE OF A STATE UNIVERSITY
The unexpected surge of the COVI19 pandemic in the early part of 2020 has greatly impacted the way things are done in many aspects of life, including higher education. The impact has affected both higher education institutions (HEIs) in developed and developing countries at varying levels. With the goal of providing continuous education, HEIs have responded to the call of the time, implementing a relatively abrupt transition to distance online learning, exposing the many challenges of delivering higher education courses, particularly skills-based collegiate courses such as Physical Education (PE). In the Philippines, where there is still a great digital divide and access to learning technologies are still limited when the pandemic hit, the delivery of physical education has been disrupted and teachers of PE must shift their paradigm of teaching and learning. This reflective research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research designs, aims to describe the effects of COVID19 on physical education in a public higher education institution in a developing country. Face-to-face teaching and learning have been shifted to remote distance/virtual learning and on-site demonstrations of PE skills were suspended for almost two academic years now. Affected by various social, financial, infrastructure, and political factors, PE in the Philippines has been greatly disrupted and a paradigm shift has been the answer to adjust and recalibrate the delivery of education. Internet accessibility, affordability, reliability, and availability of resources in certain areas seem to negatively impact the delivery of PE during the long lockdowns. Appropriate mitigation mechanisms based on the results are recommended to help in responding, mitigating, and recovering quickly from future pandemic occurrences.

MAPPING THE TANGIBLE CULTURAL PROPERTIES OF MARIVELES, BATAAN: BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION (IEC) MATERIALS
Cultural mapping has become a part of both the cultural planning and community cultural development. Hence, this study aimed to map the cultural properties of Mariveles, Bataan as a basis for the development of information, education and communication (IEC) materials. This study employed Participatory Cultural Mapping as an approach in gathering and analyzing the data. Following this approach, the researchers worked and collaborated with the owners, caretakers, barangay officials, local tourism officers, and locals who have knowledge about the eleven (11) identified cultural properties. Triangulation method was used to gather and validate information from the participants. The instruments used in this study are the NCCA Cultural Mapping Form, Semi - Structured Interview and Document Analysis. The quantitative definition of cultural inventory was used to interpret the data obtained from the field visits and record study. The findings of this study is divided into two categories such as movable and immovable. First, there are two (2) identified tangible movable cultural properties in Mariveles including Señor Nazareno and St. Nicholas de Tolentino. While nine (9) tangible immovable cultural properties were identified including the Municipal Marker, Mariveles Dam, Copo de Mariveles, Poblacion Lighthouse, Freeport Area of Bataan, Llamas Memorial Institute, Llamas Statue in Antonio G. Llamas Elementary School, Lazareto de Mariveles and US Detachment Stone were documented. In addition, this study resulted in the identification of the significance, problems or constraints, and preservation measures installed to the identified tangible cultural properties. Finally, this study resulted in the development of the Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Materials which can be used in both tourism and education sectors. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended for the Local Government Unit to offer financial help for the refurbishment and maintenance as well as for proper maintenance of the identified cultural properties. For the caretakers of the movable property, the Local Government Unit can assist them on printing materials to disseminate so that other people will be aware about the property. Programs to inform students and citizens of Mariveles about tangible cultural properties must be implemented by the municipal authority. To disseminate the knowledge and to raise awareness about how every cultural property is endangered, old and prone to destruction, the municipality of Mariveles needs to develop more comprehensive, approachable, and creative ways and programs. To create effective and creative IEC materials that can be used by local schools either in elementary or secondary to educate the students about the history and culture of Mariveles.

DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF REMOTE OFFLINE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH NETWORK FILE SYSTEM USING INTRANET NETWORKS
Abstract— The lack of internet access in underdeveloped nations, particularly the Philippines, exacerbates the digital divide and restricts universal access to ICT. This research developed an alternative standalone offline open educational resources access methods for distant learning and teaching-based eLearning called Remote Offline Learning Management System with Network Files system (ROLMS-NFS) utilizing intranet networks and a Network File System, particularly for far-flung and hinterland schools. The proposed system combines a standard computer unit, a robust Moodle learning management system, and a Network File System database setup. The technology uses an intranet network architecture by connecting two wireless antennas in different locations to create a wireless link. Once linked to the network, teachers, and students can access the e-learning system through local e-learning Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) without total reliance on internet connection and mobile data. As a result, the system makes sharing educational resources easier. It lets students access their lessons, modules, and assignments, take exams and quizzes and even watch video lessons on their laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Further a Technology Acceptance model survey questionnaire was used to assess teacher and student acceptance and intention to use the proposed system by finding its Perceived ease of use, Perceived usefulness, attitude towards use, and behavioral intention to use.

ASSESSING QUALITY OF LIFE IN HISTORIC CITY - CASE OF SHAHJAHANABAD
historic urban city due to which new infrastructure is needed. But adding new infrastructure is very challenging because of limited space, congested areas, old infrastructure, and poor governance which then leads to slum-like conditions in those areas. These conditions deteriorate the feel of the place and the quality of life of people living there worsens. As the quality of life is not appropriate, people start migrating to other areas for living and these houses are in turn converted to commercial spaces either for storage or small factories. These conversions lead to an increase in footfall of people due to commercialization and the character of the city changed from mixed-use to commercial. There is a need to address the needs of those people to make the area/city livable or provide a better quality of life to residents and workers of that area. To understand this, a case of Shahjahanabad as a model case study for historic cities in India is taken which depicts similar conditions as discussed, have issues related to increases in population, deteriorating infrastructure, residential conversion into commercial, traffic jams, congestion, political and economic adversaries, etc. The paper is an effort to analyze or bring forward the issues faced by the residents/ workers living in historic cities through the parameters of quality of life which has deteriorated over time and suggestions will be provided to upgrade the city life.

WORLD CLASS UNIVERSITY: DEFINITION AND POLICY MODEL IN INDONESIAN HIGHER EDUCATION
Nowadays, building the World Class University (WCU) is one of the ways to improve the nation’s competitiveness in the global knowledge economy. Many countries try to come up with the policy reform’s strategy to accomplish the mission. This is challenging for Indonesia as it is the fourth- largest education system in the world. We conduct qualitative research through the assessment of literature. We argue that there are many ways to interpret the methodology of WCU to which depends on individual ranking promoters. With the lack of equity in the policy model, Indonesia HEIs face double burden to pursue world university ranking and satisfied the clustering system at home. In this article we try to find a consensus about WCU in Indonesian Higher Education.
