Cultural determinants of capital structure in Indonesian banking: A macroeconomic context
Get PDFCapital structure decisions play a crucial role in shaping the financial landscape of companies, especially in developing countries. This study examines the cultural determinants of capital structure in Indonesian banking within the macroeconomic context from 2013 to 2022. The capital structure represents the mix of various company funding methods, impacting its value and influencing stakeholders. The debate on how the interplay of debt and assets affects a company's value continues, with the determining factors of capital structure still being explored in financial studies. Using STATA V.17, this research analyzes 30 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with leverage as the dependent variable. Financial ratios, including liquidity ratio, profit volatility, growth opportunities, bank size, and external macroeconomic variables such as inflation and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), are examined as potential influencers on the capital structure. The results reveal high leverage in Indonesian banks, with variations in financial approaches. Return on assets, growth opportunities, and inflation exhibit a positive and significant relationship with leverage, while profit volatility, tangibility, bank size, and GDP show a negative and significant relationship. The research suggests limitations in scope, recommending including all Indonesian banking companies and additional external macroeconomic variables like exchange and interest rates
Improving linguistic competence through learning based on language error analysis and problems
Get PDFThe success of an educational institution, especially those related to teaching, depends on various components, including materials and learning models or approaches. Materials and learning models or learning approaches must not only be able to attract students' attention but must also be following their needs and development. One learning model that pays attention to the needs and development of students is problem and error analysis-based learning. This learning model presents a real problem for students at the beginning of learning, then resolved through investigation and applied using a problem-solving approach. Therefore, the research "Improving Linguistic Competence through Learning Based on Language Error Analysis and Problems" is very interesting to be done immediately. This study aims to identify linguistic errors and problems found in everyday life and describe solutions to understand these problems in improving students' linguistic competence. The study of learning based on error and problem analysis can contribute to the development of linguistics, especially on linguistic problems that are still unsolved. In addition, the results of this study can contribute to the improvement and development of learning models based on error and problem analysis. This will help create a fun, challenging, and easy learning environment.

Evaluation of the planning and control process of offshore oil and gas platform projects at the engineering stage with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) approach, 6th and 7th editions to improve time performance
Get PDFThe oil and gas exploration process continues to be carried out in order to achieve the oil and gas production target. However, offshore oil and gas platform projects are often found to experience delays in completion. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation of the project planning and control process is needed to improve project time performance, so that it can be completed according to target effectively and efficiently. This study focuses on the evaluation of offshore oil and gas platform project planning and control at the engineering stage using the approach in PMBOK Editions 6 and 7. This approach aims to identify the main activities in planning and control and evaluate the suitability of the process with the PMBOK guidelines. In addition, it is also to identify the dominant risk factors that affect project time performance. This study was conducted using a case study approach and qualitative analysis using secondary data from various literature and documents related to the project. This evaluation is expected to provide insight into the gap between theory and practice in the field and produce strategic recommendations to improve the effectiveness of offshore oil and gas platform project management
