The research aims to assess the impact of implementing the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in Indonesia, which has one of the highest smoking rates worldwide. Utilizing a systematic literature review, the study analyzes global case studies and local tobacco control policies. The results suggest that the adoption of FCTC strategies, including raising tobacco taxes, enforcing comprehensive advertising bans, and establishing smoke-free environments, could significantly benefit public health and the economy. These benefits are evidenced by decreased healthcare expenses, reduced smoking rates, and enhanced economic productivity. Although there might be short-term economic challenges, the research supports that the long-term advantages of implementing the FCTC in Indonesia surpass these initial costs, making a strong argument for the adoption of these regulations.

Increasing global pollution and resources scarcity problems in marketplaces have resulted in Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) being placed as one of the most important themes of corporate strategies. This study explores GSCM and its relationship with sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in the context of further directing a stream of future research on such dynamic and vital topic. We employ a bibliometric analysis to trace the dynamics of knowledge production in GSCM, specifically looking at its most salient research themes, trends and thought leaders within the field. The information used was obtained from the Scopus database, with a total of 234 documents coming out in years comprising 2020–2024. The analysis finds interesting themes like green practices integration, supply chain resilience and technology role in GSCM’s global application. The results underscore a critical need for further study and implementation of GSCM initiatives to both tackle key planetary challenges and safeguard supply chain resilience and sustainability.

This study evaluates the efficacy of digital influencers in brand endorsement through electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM). It probes the influence of perceived influence, brand engagement, and expected brand value on purchase intention and the potential moderation of these by gender roles. The study, analyzing responses from 197 participants via a Structural Equation Model (SEM) with SmartPLS, reveals interesting findings. The perceived influence is found to positively and significantly affect both brand engagement and expected brand value. However, brand engagement did not significantly affect expected brand value. Both brand engagement and expected brand value positively impacted purchase intention. However, perceived influence and gender interactions with brand engagement, perceived influence, and expected brand value do not significantly affect purchase intention. These findings can aid fashion industry companies in strategizing their collaborations with Instagram micro-influencers to enhance brand engagement, expected brand value, and purchase intention.

This study examines the roles of board composition, firm size, and earnings manipulation in determining firm value within the context of the LQ45 index, which comprises the 45 most liquid stocks in the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This study involves 45 companies listed in the LQ45 index. The number of samples in this study was 45 companies covering 5 years of data, so the overall number of observations was 225 company years. The findings reveal that independent commissioners and board size have significant positive effects on firm value, while the Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) is not significant. Additionally, the study demonstrates that firm size significantly influences firm value. Earnings manipulation is found to mediate the relationship between corporate governance, firm size, and firm value. These results highlight the importance of board composition and firm size in creating value for stakeholders and emphasize the need to understand better and monitor earnings manipulation practices. The study offers valuable insights for investors, regulators, and policymakers in improving corporate governance and enhancing the integrity of financial markets.

This research examines the intersection of disruptive technologies specifically blockchain, AI, and Big Data with corporate governance, synthesizing insights from a diverse range of scholarly works. This research employed a comprehensive literature review methodology. We sourced and analyzed scholarly articles and papers from prominent databases, focusing on key themes such as the impact of these technologies on corporate governance, potential benefits, and associated challenges. We investigate the implications of these technologies on corporate governance, scrutinizing potential benefits and associated challenges. Our findings reveal that blockchain, with its potential to enhance transparency and reduce information asymmetry, promises to transform accounting and auditing practices. Nevertheless, the successful integration of blockchain into mainstream financial systems necessitates addressing technical and regulatory challenges. AI's potential to augment decision-making capabilities offers opportunities for improved auditing efficiency, yet raises ethical concerns and implementation complexities. Lastly, Big Data presents opportunities for driving sustainable innovation and informed decision-making, while posing significant challenges concerning data privacy and security. This study's findings carry implications for practitioners, policy-makers, and academics alike, providing critical insights into the dynamic interplay between disruptive technologies and corporate governance. Future research may extend this work through empirical studies and comparative analyses across industries and regions.

Information technology is a technology for obtaining, processing, storing and distributing various types of information files by utilizing computers and telecommunications born of strong drives to create new innovations and creativity that can overcome all laziness and slowness of human performance. The recent phenomenon of several large companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange shows that there is an improper management of the company, especially in supervision, thereby reducing the value of the company. The result is proven that developed companies, especially in developed countries, use supervision not only as a leader but also technology that can automatically detect fraud and is useful as a step to prevent fraud in companies. Corporate governance is still lacking in Indonesia and other developing countries, making the level of supervision at the company does not run optimally so that the potential for fraud is still quite large. This research contributes to fill the void level of supervision in companies in Indonesia that are still experiencing fraud, so the solution in supervision is to maximize the role of information technology in companies in Indonesia.

Background: Excessive or inappropriate use of social media has been linked to disruptions in regular work, well-being, mental health, and overall reduction of quality of life. However, a limited number of studies documenting the impact of social media on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are available globally., Aim: This study aimed to explore the perceived social media needs and their impact on the quality of life among the adult population of various selected countries., Methodology: A cross-sectional, quantitative design and analytical study utilized an online survey disseminated from November to December 2021., Results: A total of 6689 respondents from ten countries participated in the study. The largest number of respondents was from Malaysia (23.9%), followed by Bangladesh (15.5%), Georgia (14.8%), and Turkey (12.2%). The prevalence of social media users was over 90% in Austria, Georgia, Myanmar, Nigeria, and the Philippines. The majority of social media users were from the 18-24 age group. Multiple regression analysis showed that higher education level was positively correlated with all four domains of WHOQoL. In addition, the psychological health domain of quality of life was positively associated in all countries. Predictors among Social Media Needs, Affective Needs (β = -0.07), and Social Integrative Needs (β = 0.09) were significantly associated with psychological health., Conclusion: The study illuminates the positive correlation between higher education levels and improved life quality among social media users, highlighting an opportunity for policymakers to craft education-focused initiatives that enhance well-being. The findings call for strategic interventions to safeguard the mental health of the global social media populace, particularly those at educational and health disadvantages., (© 2024.

The climate of the Earth has changed throughout history. Climate change negatively impacts human rights in a wide range of ways. The study aims to find out the impact of climate change on aging health in developing countries. The study found that public health will be devastated if climate change continues unabated. Countries that are least responsible for global warming are most susceptible to the effects of higher temperatures, such as death and disease. In low- and middle-income countries, disasters are more likely to happen to people aged 60 and over. Although climate change affects all of us, older people are especially at risk from it, as evidenced by a growing body of research. The study also offers countermeasures and suggestions to develop aging health in developing countries affected by climate change., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest., (© 2023 The Authors.

The manufacturing sector's adherence to managing natural resources from the environment still needs to be improved. This study's objective is to determine how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) influences the financial performance of manufacturing firms featured in the LQ45 Index, as measured by Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM). All manufacturing companies that are included in the LQ45 Index's population for this study were sampled using the purposive sampling method. This study uses secondary data from the CSRI based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 standard for 2018-2020 and the annual reports of companies in the manufacturing industry sector listed on the LQ45 Index. Moreover, applying a quantitative methodology, descriptive statistical methods, conventional assumption tests, and simple linear regression analysis were applied in this study's data analysis. The results of the study proved that CSR has a significant effect on ROA but does not affect the ROE and NPM of LQ45 manufacturing companies. In accordance with the signaling theory, CSR disclosure sends a favourable message to outsiders, which stakeholders and shareholders will respond to through changes in business earnings. CSR implementation can establish a positive image for the company, but it can also improve the company's image in both the commodity and capital markets. Investors will be more attracted to a company with a positive corporate image since a positive corporate image increases consumer loyalty. As consumer loyalty rises, the company's sales will likewise rise, and its profitability will increase as a result. This paper opens a new research path in corporate social responsibility and financial performance for possible links among variables; a matter that has not been previously explored in Indonesia Manufacturing Public Companies., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2023 Meiryani et al.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the level of resilience of medical workers in radiology departments in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during the COVID-19 outbreak and to explore associated factors., Setting: Medical staff, including nurses, technicians, radiology specialists and physicians, working in radiology departments at government hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 outbreak., Design: A cross-sectional study., Participants: The study was conducted among 375 medical workers in radiology departments in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The data collection took place from 15 February 2022 to 31 March 2022., Results: The total resilience score was 29.37±6.760 and the scores of each dimension showed that the higher mean score was observed in the domain of 'flexibility', while the lowest was observed in 'maintaining attention under stress'. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between resilience and perceived stress (r=-0.498, p<0.001). Finally, based on multiple linear regression analysis, factors affecting resilience among participants are the availability of psychological hotline (available, B=2.604, p<0.050), knowledge of COVID-19 protective measures (part of understanding, B=-5.283, p<0.001), availability of adequate protective materials (partial shortage, B=-2.237, p<0.050), stress (B=-0.837, p<0.001) and education (postgraduate, B=-1.812, p<0.050)., Conclusions: This study sheds light on the level of resilience and the factors that contribute to resilience in radiology medical staff. Moderate levels of resilience call for health administrators to focus on developing strategies that can effectively help cope with workplace adversities., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2023.

It is frequently asserted that high levels of economic growth are supported by economic freedom. For the period 1995-2021, this study examines the influence of the composed economic freedom index and several subcomponents of economic freedom on the economic growth of four South Asian economies, namely Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The Ordinary Least Squares, Random Effect Model, and Robust Least Squares approaches are utilized to estimate the composed and decomposed influence of economic freedom on economic growth. Robust Least Squares reflects the robustness of the connection between economic liberty and growth. According to the results of these tests, economic liberty has a strong and favorable stimulus on growth. When the different indicators of economic liberty are evaluated independently, we discovered that the magnitudes of most economic freedom indicators are significant. Conversely, monetary freedom contributes very little to economic expansion. The effects of government spending, public trust, and labor flexibility on economic expansion are hypothetical. The tax load hinders economic expansion in the economies under consideration. Property rights, freedom to do business, trade liberty, investment choice, and financial liberty all have a positive, strong, and sizeable stimulus on economic growth. The decomposed influence of each indicator of economic freedom will help develop policy choices., (© 2023 The Authors.)

Business and entrepreneurship are certainly not a monopoly on men. As inhabitants of half the world, women also have the right to engage in the business world. In line with the ideals of emancipation, many women currently have the opportunity to become business partners of men. This research aims to clarify the role of absorptive capacity and entrepreneurial competencies in strengthening women's leadership toward success. This research was conducted in 3 provinces in Indonesia involving 114 women entrepreneurs in the MSME (micro, small, and medium enterprises) category. This research used a structural equation model with the SmartPLS software tool. The results of this research showed that absorptive capacity and entrepreneurial competencies were able to increase women's leadership toward successful entrepreneurship. City and age moderation failed to moderate the effect of women's leadership on successful entrepreneurship. The government on a macro scale needs to pay attention to providing understanding or special training for women MSME business actors who are trying to build their business from scratch. Business challenges for women entrepreneurs are heavier than for men because there are several social, value, and cultural barriers that require special treatment and strategies in developing the potential of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Setyaningrum, Norisanti, Fahlevi, Aljuaid and Grabowska.)

The National Economic Recovery (NER) Program is one of the responses initiated by the government in Indonesia's economic recovery due to the impact of COVID-19, the target is to reduce the activities of affected communities, including cooperatives. One of the priority aspects for the program to run well and smoothly is the role of institutions in knowledge management and process sharing. This paper examines the role of knowledge management and sharing in cooperatives with qualitative limitations at the knowledge process level, knowledge design level, strategic interaction level, social participation level, academic and scientific ecosystem level, and network and partnership level. A qualitative description becomes a research method with secondary data in the form of a comparison of cooperatives in 2019-2021 as a representation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 secondary data for 20 months from April 2020 to September 2022 in Indonesia dynamically also support sharpening the analysis. The source of cooperative data is from the publications of the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, while the source of COVID-19 data comes from the publication of the COVID-19 Task Force. The analysis is carried out by building qualitative aspects into quantitative ones that can be formulated in the form of cooperative applications. The result is that the application of the knowledge process level, knowledge design level, strategic interaction level, social participation level, academic and scientific ecosystem level, and network and partnership level can improve decision-making, capture, share, and measure institutional knowledge for the success of the NER Program., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Khasanah, Sriyana, Prasetyo, Nurdinawati, Hartopo, Wahyudianto, Gartika and Fahlevi.)

While globalization has increased the movement and interconnection of goods, technology, and information, it has also affected employment. Many studies have analyzed the impact of globalization on employment creation resulting in positive and negative findings. However, an area of literature still needs to be explored studying how human capital affects the impact of globalization on employment creation. The current study contributes to the literature by analyzing the moderating role of human capital in the globalization-employment nexus in 26 Asian countries. For this, annual panel data were collected from 1996 to 2019. The estimations have been done using 12 model specifications, 6 for direct and 6 for indirect impact association between globalization and employment through the human capital channel. The study uses generalized least square (GLS) method and generalized method of moments (GMM) for empirical analysis. The static and dynamic analysis shows that globalization's direct and indirect impact on employment through the channel of human capital is positive. Industrial value added and economic growth leads to more employment creation, whereas population growth dampens it. Human capital plays a positive role in getting the advantage of globalization in terms of employment creation. This study confirms the literature recommendations of promoting human capital development to achieve globalization's benefits for more employment creation., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

Objective: This study set out to explore public interest through information search trends on diet and weight loss before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia., Methods: The Google Trends database was evaluated for the relative internet search popularity on diet-related search terms, including top and rising diet-related terms. The search range was before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2018 to January 2022) in the Indonesia region. We analyzed the Relative Search Volume (RSV) data using line charts, correlation, and comparison tests., Results: Search queries of "lose weight" was higher during the pandemic (58.34 ± 9.70 vs. 68.69 ± 7.72; p<0.05). No difference was found in diet-related searches before and after the pandemic. Public interest in the diet was higher after Eid al-Fitr (Muslims break fasting celebration day) and after the new year. Many fad diet (FD) terms were found on the top and rising terms., Conclusion: After Eid al-Fitr and the new year were susceptible times for promoting a healthy diet in Indonesia. Potential need found before those times for education in inserting healthy food among fatty and sugary menus related to holidays and celebrations. Higher interest in "lose weight" was relevant to heightened obesity risk during the social restriction and heightened COVID-19 morbidity and mortality due to obesity. The high interest for rapid weight loss through FD needs to be resolved by promoting healthy diets with a more captivating message and messenger, like consistently using top terms in the keywords of the official healthy diet guidance. Future research could explore the relationship between diet and other behavior or with non-communicable diseases., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Ramadhani, Latifah, Prasetyo, Khairunnisa, Wardhani, Yunitawati and Fahlevi.)

Purpose: Palm oil is the leading commodity of the plantation sub-sector in Indonesia, providing a tremendous economic impact for the people and the government. However, the development of oil palm plantations raises the issue of environmental damage because oil palms use large quantities of water. The purpose of this study is to explore circular water management accountability practices through disclosures issued by each company and the effectiveness of water management voluntary disclosure under the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards on increasing stakeholder trust and reducing information asymmetry., Design/methodology/approach: This study used secondary data collected from reports published by plantation sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and accessible online. Analysis was performed using the method of Miles and Huberman (1992): data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and verification. Data reduction was conducted by identifying plantation sub-sector companies that reported water management practices consecutively from 2018 to 2020 and seeking all disclosures related to water management and circular water management practices with 3R indicators. Data presentation was carried out by presenting findings from circular water management disclosures and comparing inter-year circular water management accountability practices to examine reporting routines. Finally, conclusions were drawn and verified., Findings: The results of this study show that only six of the 20 plantation sub-sector companies reported circular water management with 3R indicators for three consecutive years (2018-2020). Two of these six companies attached GRI index references to their reports consisting of GRI 303 (Water and Effluents) and GRI 306 (Waste), while the other four did not. In addition, water management voluntary disclosure under the GRI standards was shown to increase stakeholder trust and reduce information asymmetry., Originality/value: This study raises the concepts of water accounting and circular water management accountability practices in plantation sub-sector companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX)., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest., (© 2022 The Author(s).)

The COVID-19 pandemic created new conditions for the functioning of all organizations. Suddenly, there was a problem with the lack of appropriate leadership styles models in health care organizations (hospitals), which are particularly vulnerable to disruptions in a pandemic. Hospitals, in particular, have become exposed to organizational and managerial problems. The article aims to propose an appropriate leadership style model that will guarantee a high level of hospital efficiency, taking into account a pandemic situation in the example of private hospitals in Indonesia. Organizational identification is promoted as a mediating variable due to the high level of this variable in explaining hospital performance in Indonesia based on preliminary studies. During research used a structural equation model using 394 samples at the unit leadership level in private hospitals in Indonesia.

This study aimed to investigate the adoption of the Sehha, Mawid, and Tetamman mobile health applications during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. The present study investigated factors influencing app use intention based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) approach. This study was conducted using a sample of 176 participants from the Riyadh and Makkah regions during the lockdown in May 2020. This study uses structural equation modeling for data collected using SmartPLS 3.3.9 (GmbH, Oststeinbek, Germany) to examine the effect of constructs on the model. The most important predictor was the perceived benefits of the mobile health apps, followed by self-efficacy. The perceived barriers and cues to action have no significant effect on behavioral intention. The perceived benefits and self-efficacy as keys can provide an overview to the government and to health organizations for taking into account the most important factors of the adoption of mobile health apps, meaning that the developer must adjust to the characteristics of the community of people that need applications that provide many benefits and have an impact.
