In order to achieve the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of the Indonesian Economic Development (MP3EI) program which has a significant impact on cement demand outside java, it is necessary to improve the performance of cement companies, especially state-owned cement companies consisting of PT Semen Indonesia Tbk (Persero) and PT Semen Batu Raja (Persero). In addition, competition in the globalization era in fulfilling domestic cement is a challenge for state-owned cement companies with Cement Foreign Investment (PMA) industries in Indonesia which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. To increase attractiveness and strengthen performance, state-owned cement companies need to display an analysis of attractive financial performance along with the selection of independent variables in the discrimination function as a variable that explains precisely the performance of the company based on the Discriminant Stepwise Method. This is in accordance with the purpose of this study by analysing Du Pont System Analysis, Analysis of financial ratios in the form of liquidity ratios, solvability, profitability, activity, along with reference to the Decree of the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia No. 826/KMK.013/1992, and strengthened by the Decree of the Minister of BUMN No: KEP-100/MBU/2002 in financial aspects for the performance of state-owned enterprises.

Abstract

The increasing number of video game titles raises competition between video game developers getting tighter and more competitive, this encourages the game developers to be more creative in designing their games so that players become loyal to play and not quickly switch to playing other games. While we know that game development is very difficult, time consuming and requires a lot of costs for the RPG genre. So that the loyalty of game players in playing games becomes a crucial problem.This study aims to explain how the customization of game avatars can increase the loyalty of video game players in playing role-playing games (RPGs).This study uses the within-subject experimental method with participants who are RPG video game players who have played for at least 1 year, 24 participants participated in the 8 experiment session throughout the study. The results of this study indicate that avatar customization is very important because it can improve the player's self-identification in the game, improve the playing experience, improve the perceived quality of the video game played, increase the flow and immersion of players, and increase gamer loyalty. Another result that was raised was that the use of avatars that were the same gender with players (male players using male avatars) did not have higher flow and immersion than when using different genders (male players use female avatars) so that this raises new issues of gander swapping in the role playing video game that can be continued for further research.

Abstract

Organic products become more popular as an alternative for consumption which are often perceived to be healthier and more environment-friendly. As the demand for organic products increases, the conventionalisation of organic agriculture practice becomes inevitable. The advantage of conventionalisation is arguable because although it can increase the production efficiency, the practice tends to disregard the principle of organic farming. This paper will discuss the issue through utilitarianism and justice theory framework. Utilitarianism perspective supports the conventionalisation of organic farming practice since the economic benefit would outweigh the cost of negative outcome from the damaged environment. Theory of justice offers opposing perspective by considering the marginalised farmer and the effect of the conventionalisation practice to the environment. According to the ecological justice perspective, conventionalisation of organic agriculture practice is unacceptable as it undermines the organic principle and proven to be detrimental for the small farmer where only the large operations perform the conventionalisation practice.

Abstract

Social media offers a powerful way to promote and engage the consumer. However, there are too many information circulating on social media nowadays. This situation makes the consumers feel uncertain with the validity of information they find on social media. There are more than two million Facebook users globally, meaning that the platform still has big potential as an effective promotion tool. In this study, Social word of mouth (sWOM) theory is seen as a solution to reduce the uncertainty on the social media. Then, the dual-process theory is adapted to build the conceptual framework, which includes several variables including comment involvement, quality of comment, comment trust-ability, as well as uncertainty reduction. Item scales are adopted by the prior study and the questionnaire is composed with a back-translation technique. The collected data is tested using smart-PLS. Then the results are analyzed to observe both theoretical and managerial impact. The findings of the study suggest that all of the proposed variables have significant effect on the uncertainty reduction.

Abstract

The phenomenon of inflation that exists is actually not a short-term phenomenon and occurs situationally. However, like in other developing countries, the problem of inflation is more on the issue of long-term inflation that is increasingly complex and increasingly difficult to control. Conventional economic policies are no longer able to solve this problem. According to the perspective of the Qur'an, the source of the emergence of economic turmoil, which is indicated by high inflation, is due to the use of currencies that deviate from the Qur'an. The deviation is nothing but making the currency a commodity in order to make a profit. The advantage is called by the Qur'an in terms of usury, both usury nasi’ah and fadhl. Therefore, if we want to create a more stable economy, with a more controlled inflation rate, then there must be courage to eliminate the source of the main cause.
