Corporate liquidity as a predictor variable of firm earnings in the Nigerian agricultural sector
No full textPurpose: This study examines the effect of corporate liquidity on the earnings of listed agricultural firms in Nigeria. The proxies of corporate liquidity are net working capital and cash level.
Method: This study adopted an ex-post facto research strategy. The population consisted of five listed agricultural firms in Nigeria, and census sampling was applied in the study. Secondary data were gleaned from the annual reports of firms from 2014 to 2023. A fixed-effects estimation model was used to test the hypotheses.
Results: Net working capital has a significant positive effect on the earnings of listed agricultural firms in Nigeria, and cash level has a significant positive effect on the earnings of listed agricultural firms in Nigeria.
Conclusions: Firms that can optimize their liquidity positions are more agile in taking advantage of business opportunities, such as acquiring raw materials at favorable prices or capitalizing on market demand surges.
Limitations: A key limitation of this study is its relatively small sample size, as it exclusively examines listed agricultural firms in Nigeria. Consequently, these findings may not be fully generalizable to unlisted agricultural firms.
Contribution: This study contributes to the literature by filling a critical gap by focusing on sector-specific profitability metrics, as it offers a new perspective on the liquidity-performance relationship in Nigerian agricultural firms.
Implications: Financial managers of listed agricultural firms in Nigeria need to adopt proactive working capital management strategies by ensuring efficient accounts receivable collection and maintaining a balanced accounts payable structure

No full textPurpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the interpretation of the prohibition on doing business in forex trading for TNI soldiers and the regulation of forex trading businesses that do not interfere with their main duties.
Research methodology: The research method used is normative legal research with a descriptive analytical approach, examining relevant legal regulations, theories, and literature.
Results: The results of the study indicate that the prohibition on doing business for TNI soldiers aims to maintain professionalism and prevent conflicts of interest. However, exceptions can be given for passive investments that do not interfere with main duties.

Legal analysis of change of gender of TNI soldiers from the perspective of Military Administrative Law
No full textPurpose: Gender reassignment has become a complex and sensitive issue in various aspects of life, including in the military context. This study is motivated by the case of Sergeant First Class Aprilio Perkasa Manganang, who underwent gender reassignment based on Law Number 23 of 2006 concerning Population Administration without any specific regulation in military law.
Research methodology: This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory regulatory approach and conceptual analysis.
Results: The results of the study indicate that currently there are no regulations that specifically regulate gender reassignment for TNI soldiers. However, the TNI institution strictly prohibits gender reassignment for its soldiers, considering the importance of stability, discipline, and order in the military environment. This prohibition is based on the principle that TNI soldiers must live their lives in accordance with their initial identities that have been determined in the recruitment process. Further analysis shows that although Law Number 23 of 2006 concerning Population Administration accommodates gender reassignment, this regulation cannot be applied directly in the military context. Therefore, special regulations are needed that clearly regulate the prohibition of gender reassignment for TNI soldiers as well as administrative procedures that support this policy.
Conclusions: This study concludes that regulations prohibiting gender reassignment for TNI soldiers need to be strengthened in military administrative law to ensure legal certainty and discipline in military institutions. In addition, there needs to be a clear monitoring and implementation mechanism to prevent abuse and maintain the integrity and professionalism of TNI soldiers

The evidence should be returned to the rightful party, in this case the Indonesian Army through TWP AD considering that the source of funds for TWP AD comes from deductions from the salaries of Soldiers and Civil Servants in the Indonesian Army environment every month. In addition, additional criminal penalties in the form of replacement money should also be deposited to the state C.q. TWP AD, because both the evidence and the replacement money are the result of corruption. Minister of Finance Regulation No. 145 / PMK.06 / 2021 regulates that the parties authorized to submit proposals for the management of confiscated state goods to the Minister of Finance are the Prosecutor's Office, the Corruption Eradication Committee, and the Auditorate. Bureaucratic procedures and processes are obstacles to the effective implementation of the Minister of Finance Regulation
