The mounting environmental concerns have become a pressing issue across industries. Nevertheless, the banking sector has a distinct influence in shaping economic growth and development. This study sought to evaluate the impact of green banking in strengthening corporate value through its level of sustainability reporting in order to address these concerns. A research framework was developed based on theoretical support. The sampled data was collected from banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2018-2021. An empirical analysis was performed through hierarchical regression. The study’s findings indicated that green banking positively and significantly impacts firm value. Furthermore, there is a mediating effect between green banking and business value due to the quality of sustainability reporting. The empirical test revealed that the quality of sustainability reporting has a mediating effect to some extent. The results also showed that there is an interaction between business size (assets) and correlations between firm value and green banking. By undertaking a data-driven research that explains the impact of green banking on business value, this study aims to fill a significant gap in the body of knowledge on green banking and sustainability reporting.

This study investigated whether the application of video clips with small groups or with individual teaching-learning activities improved the speaking skills of young EFL learners the most; accordingly a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test design was done. The instrument used in this study was a test in the form of an oral test or interview. The results showed that the mean score from the students in the Small Group Activities group at 67.27 was higher than the mean score from the Individual Activities group at 51.29 with a level of significance 0.00 < 0.05. This meant that the application of video clips and teaching-learning Small Group Activities gave better results than teaching with Individual Activities. The results suggested that teaching-learning speaking ESL with video clips using Small Group Activity techniques could be one of the best alternatives to improve young learners' speaking performances.

Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can infect most warm-blooded animals, including humans. The infection is caused by Toxoplasma gondii called Toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis transmission can occur because of human behaviour’s such as keeping cats, eating raw vegetables and fruit with a less clean, not washing hands properly, and consuming food and drinks served without lids that could potentially be contaminated with oocysts, as well as soil-related work such as gardening and farming. Toxoplasma gondii is an infectious parasite that could be transmitted through blood transfusions. The aim of this research was to detect IgM and IgG antibodies of Toxoplasma gondii in blood donors by Rapid Diagnostic method at PMI Kabupaten Magelang. This research is a descriptive observational with a cross sectional design and used 25 respondents with blood categories A, B, O, and AB at PMI Kabupaten Magelang in 2022. According to the results of the Toxoplasmosis examination utilizing the Rapid Diagnostic Test technique on blood donors at PMI Kabupaten Magelang, as many as 25 respondents obtained non-reactive IgM and IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii. It could be concluded that no respondents were found to have reactive IgM and IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii.

Toxoplasmosis is a disease that caused by Toxoplasma gondii parasite. Toxoplasma gondii is a group of protozoa, and it belongs to intracellular obligate parasites. This parasite mostly found in animal, and it can be dangerous, on many cases, it can cause death with no symptoms. The purpose of this study is to find out the percentage of IgG and IgM antibodies examination of Toxoplasma gondii on blood donor in PMI Kota Yogyakarta. This study belongs to descriptive observational type, with cross-sectional design to find out the results of antibody detection on Toxoplasma gondii. The detection was carried out by Rapid Diagnostic Methods that can detect the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies. This study was also using questionnaires to know the relationship between the daily behaviours with toxoplasmosis case. The results show that 14 samples were reactive on IgG antibody parameter (76%) and 11 samples were non-reactive (24%). From the questionnaires known that the daily behaviour’s such as having a cat, eating raw/undercooked meat products, eating unwashed fruits and vegetables related to the case of toxoplasmosis.

Malaria, caused by Plasmodium protozoa, affects 300-500 million annually, resulting in 1.5 to 2.7 million deaths worldwide. Particularly prevalent in East Nusa Tenggara, ranking third in malaria morbidity after Papua and West Papua One of the processes of transmitting malaria is through blood transfusions. Researchers see the need for malaria antigen testing to prevent the spread of malaria, especially to students from East Nusa Tenggara. This research aims to determine the proportion of malaria incidence among STIKes Guna Bangsa students from the East Nusa Tenggara area. The type of research used was descriptive observational with a cross-sectional design. The total sample was 36 students with malaria antigen screening using the Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) method (Standareagen diagnostic kit for Malaria Pf/Pv antigen), analyzing risk factors for malaria incidence and measuring hemoglobin levels. Generally, malaria is characterized by low hemoglobin levels. The results of this research were that 100% of the samples were non-reactive to malaria with normal hemoglobin levels, so it could be concluded that there was no incidence of malaria in the students' blood analysis samples from either the RDT or risk factors.

Studies on the role of the Perlak Sultanate in the Islamization of Indonesia remain incomplete. This paper is intended to fill the knowledge gap concerning the role and contribution of the Peureulak Sultanate in the process. Moreover, the research is important in the context of the strengthening of Islamic identity in Aceh. Through analysis of historical evidence, the study considers and analyzes the role of the Peureulak Sultanate in influencing and shaping Islamic identity in the province. This should help preserve and strengthen the Acehnese people's cultural identity, which is closely related to Islam. By reviewing the role of the sultanate in Islamization in Indonesia, the process can be viewed froma more holistic perspective. The study considers historical, social, cultural and identity aspects, allowing comprehensive and contextual understanding of the Islamization process. The research is of a historical nature. It was conducted by analyzing literature studies and document and archive studies; by in-depth interviews with local figures in Perlak; by conducting field studies at Perlak Sultanate heritage sites (graves of the Perlak kings, the ancient harbor, the Perlak River); and by conducting historical analysis. The findings reveal that the Perlak Sultanate hasa rich historical heritage, especially in the form of the tombs of the Perlak kings, which played an important role in strengthening Islamic identity in Aceh. The sultanate also playeda role in the pepper trade, which, through the trade routes followed, helped spread Islam.
