Ahmet Murat ÖZKAN, Ali Oğuz BAYRAKÇIL — Thu, 07 May 2026 16:01:39 +0000

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric review of the open-access sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) literature, analyzing 5,866 articles indexed in the Web of Science. It aims to map the field’s intellectual structure, evolution, and emerging research trends using techniques such as performance analysis, co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence and thematic evolution analysis. The findings indicate a rapid expansion of SSCM research, particularly since 2010, driven by growing interest in integrating sustainability into supply chain practices. While early studies primarily emphasized environmental concerns under the green supply chain paradigm, recent research adopts a more holistic perspective that incorporates economic, environmental and social dimensions. Emerging themes include circular economy practices, digitalization and Industry 4.0, resilience and risk management and sustainable innovation. The analysis further identifies distinct developmental phases in the SSCM literature, from conceptual foundations to empirical and methodological advancement. Additionally, the results reveal a divergence between collaboration intensity and citation impact: although a core group of authors dominates publication output, highly cited work is often produced by more dispersed scholars. This suggests that scholarly influence in SSCM is largely driven by interdisciplinary and conceptually innovative contributions, offering important implications for future research and collaboration strategies.

Under Taliban rule, this study explores the potential and difficulties of incorporating Wasatiyyah, the Islamic concept of moderation, into Afghan women's education beyond the seventh grade. It uses qualitative approaches and incorporates secondary data from academic and institutional sources as well as interviews with female students, teachers, and government representatives. The results show that although Wasatiyyah provides a well-rounded educational philosophy based on gender equity, justice, and compassion, the Taliban's discriminatory and ideologically motivated regulations significantly limit its implementation. Contrary to Wasatiyyah inclusive ethos, these limitations have disadvantaged female students and restricted their access to education. Despite these obstacles, the study finds. Chances to integrate Wasatiyyah principles into community-based learning programs, presenting them as instruments to combat extremism and advance justice. This study advocates for international and local stakeholders to support educational reforms that are in line with these ideals and highlights the urgent need for Islamic-based educational frameworks that promote tolerance and moderation, especially in oppressive regimes.

Navigating Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Accession: Institutional Capacity and Governance Reform in Indonesia

Rara Gusnita Putri, Regiana Revilia, Irsyaad Suharyadi, Fitri Fatharani — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 23:17:06 +0000

This study analyzes Indonesia’s accession process to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) by focusing on institutional capacity and governance transformation. Existing studies on OECD accession largely emphasize economic benefits such as investment inflows and growth acceleration, while limited attention has been given to the institutional readiness and governance capacity of acceding countries, particularly in the Global South. Addressing this gap, this research offers a novel institutional perspective by examining how Indonesia’s bureaucratic capacity, regulatory coherence, and coordination mechanisms shape the effectiveness of accession. This study employs a qualitative case study approach using thematic analysis of official OECD documents, national policy reports, and academic literature. The analytical framework integrates neo-institutionalism with governance capacity indicators to assess reform dynamics. The findings reveal that while OECD accession provides a structured pathway for regulatory harmonization, its success is highly contingent upon institutional capacity, inter-agency coordination, and policy sequencing. Weak administrative capacity risks producing “formal compliance” without effective implementation. This study contributes theoretically by extending neo-institutionalism analysis into accession processes in emerging economies, and practically by proposing an institutional reform roadmap emphasizing coordination mechanisms, monitoring systems, and adaptive governance strategies. The findings suggest that OECD accession should be positioned not merely as an economic strategy but as a long-term institutional transformation agenda.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Current Ratio, Return On Equity Debt to Equity Ratio, and Dividend Payout Ratio on Stock Prices in food and staple food retail subsector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2019-2023. By using Purposive Sampling, 12 companies were selected as samples based on certain criteria and data analysis using multiple linear regression. The results show that Current Ratio, Return On Equity, Debt to Equity Ratio and Dividend Payout Ratio are negatively related to stock prices. Current Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio are negatively related to Dividend Payout Ratio, while Return On Equity is positively related to Dividend Payout Ratio. The moderating variables between the Current Ratio, Return on Equity, and Debt to Equity Ratio and the Dividend Payout Ratio are positively related to Stock Price. This study provides new empirical insights into capital structure and profitability, particularly in the food and staple food retail subsector. In this regard, retail company management needs to maintain a balance between profitability and leverage, and utilize dividend policy as a strategic instrument to strengthen the company's positive signal to investors.

Policy Analysis of the Jabar Saber Hoaks Program in Addressing the Spread of Hoaxes in West Java

Hidayat Hidayat, Wawan Gunawan, Dadan Kurnia, Zaenal Abidin AS — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:15:25 +0000

The rapid advancement of digital technology has become a vehicle for the spread of hoaxes, negatively impacting the lives of the digital community in Indonesia, particularly in West Java. On the other hand, public awareness regarding how to distinguish hoaxes remains low; this situation is further exacerbated by the emergence of AI technology, making it extremely difficult for the public to determine whether a piece of news is a hoax or not. To address the spread of hoaxes, the West Java Provincial Government issued a policy through West Java Governor’s Decree No. 700.05/Kep.1261-Diskominfo/2018 regarding the establishment of the Jabar Saber Hoaks program. This program aims to protect the public from the negative impacts caused by hoaxes. This study aims to analyze the policies of the Jabar Saber Hoaks program. Using a literature review approach, the findings indicate that the Jabar Saber Hoaks program’s policies have not been implemented optimally in protecting the public from the negative impacts of hoaxes. One reason for this is that Jabar Saber Hoaks only verifies information of questionable accuracy circulating in digital media, while community empowerment programs aimed at improving digital literacy have not been widely implemented. Consequently, many people in West Java have been affected by hoaxes, resulting in both moral and material losses.
