Nigeria-South Africa Agricultural Trade Relations and Its Implications for Domestic Agricultural Production in Nigeria
type: item
description: This study examines the impact of Nigeria’s importation of textile fabrics and agricultural raw materials from South Africa on the agricultural sector output of Nigeria. Utilizing secondary quarterly time-series data spanning twenty-eight years (1996 to 2023), the empirical model expresses agricultural sector output (AGRT) as a function of textile fabric imports (TEX), agricultural raw material imports (AGRM), the real exchange rate (RER), real GDP growth (GDPG), and an institutional quality index (IQX). The analytical framework relies on the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing technique to accommodate variables with a mixed order of integration and evaluate both short- and long-run cointegrating vectors. The empirical results from the ARDL F-Bounds test establish a strong long-run relationship among the variables (F-statistic = 21.33, exceeding the upper bound critical value at 5%). In the long run, both textile fabric imports (β=0.4622, p<0.01) and agricultural raw material imports (β=0.0874, p<0.05) exert positive and statistically significant impacts on Nigeria’s agricultural output, suggesting that these imports provide essential intermediate inputs and value-chain linkages that complement domestic production. Conversely, short-run estimates reveal that textile imports are statistically insignificant, while the error correction term confirms that 16.36% of short-run disequilibrium is corrected annually toward long-run equilibrium. Diagnostic tests confirm the absence of serial correlation and heteroscedasticity, while CUSUM plots validate parameter stability. Consequently, the null hypothesis is rejected. The study concludes that while imported raw materials currently drive long-run sectoral growth, policymakers must implement targeted domestic capacity-building strategies to reduce vulnerabilities to external trade dynamics.

CSR Objectives and Investor Perceptions in the Islamic Capital Market: An Analysis of Panin Syariah Bank’s Stock Returns
type: item
description: Companies in the financial sector are currently actively carrying out corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in various fields, such as social, environmental, and religious. These regulations are regulated by the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) as a form of responsibility for financial companies to contribute to sustainability. This study examines the impact of Maqashid al-Shariah-based CSR disclosures on stock returns by evaluating company size and leverage as important market signals. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, secondary data were extracted from the annual report and sustainability report of Panin Dubai Syariah Bank for the period 2020–2024. The Maqashid CSR Index was constructed through a content analysis of the five maqashid dimensions, with multiple linear regression applied for comprehensive hypothesis testing. The results show that the Maqashid CSR Index has a significant negative effect on stock returns, indicating that ethical disclosure has not been perceived by the market as a value-enhancing signal. Company size also shows a significant negative impact, while leverage shows a significant positive relationship with returns. These findings imply that the market responds more favourably to an aggressive capital structure than to long-term ethical commitment. This study emphasizes the need to integrate financial and ethical indicators while enhancing investor literacy regarding Maqashid-based CSR to ensure sustainability information effectively supports the ethical long-term investment decision-making process for all key stakeholders.

Digital Ethics Among Vocational High School Students: A Systematic Literature Review Of Emerging Issues And Educational Practices
type: item
description: This study aimed to analyze the development of research on digital ethics among vocational high school students through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on bibliometric analysis. The study focused on identifying publication trends and bibliometric characteristics, examining major contributors and geographical distributions, and exploring the main themes, emerging issues, and educational practices within the field. Data were collected from the Scopus database using predefined keywords related to digital ethics, digital citizenship, digital literacy, and vocational education, resulting in 37 articles published between 2019 and 2025. Data analysis employed the Analyze Search Results feature in Scopus and VOSviewer software through co-occurrence, overlay, and density visualizations. The findings revealed a growing trend in publications, with Indonesia emerging as the most productive contributor. Furthermore, the intellectual structure of the field has evolved from traditional themes centered on digital literacy and vocational education toward broader issues involving digital citizenship, digital transformation, responsible technology use, and emerging educational practices. These findings indicate that digital ethics has become an essential component of twenty-first-century competencies and technology-supported learning environments in vocational education.

Street-Level Policy Entrepreneurs: Activating Policy Capacity in Local Food Security Implementation
type: item
description: This article examines how street-level actors activate policy capacity during the local implementation of Indonesia's food security policy. Existing studies usually explain weak implementation through institutional fragmentation, cross-sector coordination problems, and top-down program design. However, they say less about the micro-practices through which frontline actors keep policy working amid fragmentation. The study adopts a qualitative, embedded, multiple-case design across three districts of South Sulawesi and draws on 50 semi-structured interviews, policy and implementation documents, and limited field observations. The analysis employed theory-driven thematic analysis, combining deductive coding from the policy capacity and street-level policy entrepreneurship literatures with inductive refinement during within-case and cross-case comparisons. The findings show that implementation depends not only on formally available organizational capacity, but also on capacity activated from below by extension workers, village governments, and farmer-group facilitators. These actors re-verified beneficiary lists, reinterpreted targets, aligned village resources with district programs, and built informal coordination across agencies and communities. Under favorable local conditions, such practices moved beyond routine discretion and became street-level policy entrepreneurship. The article contributes to policy implementation studies by showing that analytical, operational, and political capacities are enacted in practice rather than merely stored in formal institutions.

Economic Development and Allocation in Family Farmers in Indonesia
type: item
description: This research, which is significant, examines the relationship between development and economic allocation within farming families in Indonesia. The study focuses on the impact of development on the socio-economic dynamics of farming families. Development is characterized by agricultural mechanization, expanded employment opportunities, and advanced education, which stimulate the lifestyles of farming families. However, these changes still leave a number of problems within farming families, including economic inequality. This research uses a literature review method, drawing on a number of sources (books, articles, freelance writing, and research results) related to the research objectives. The results of the study indicate that development has dynamized changes in the rural economy, particularly the participation of women in both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. Development has had a real impact through the role of farmers (including women) in improving and strengthening the family economy. However, the economic allocation of farming families in Indonesia is still linked to patriarchal traditions that construct men as having the maximum allocation of power within the family. This is a real problem and represents an inequality in the development of farming family communities in Indonesia. However, development has shown an increase in farmers' welfare in several areas of life.

Political Economy of Village Fund and Socioeconomic Transformation of Communities in South Buton Regency
type: item
description: This study examines the political economy of village fund implementation and its effects on the socioeconomic transformation of communities in South Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Village funds, disbursed under Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, represent the most significant transfer of fiscal resources to the village level in Indonesian history, yet their transformative impact is mediated by local political economy dynamics that remain poorly understood. Using a qualitative case study approach with in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, this research investigates how political economy factors, including elite capture, power relations, participatory governance, and inter-governmental coordination, shape the allocation and outcomes of village funds across six sub-districts in South Buton Regency. The findings reveal that village fund outcomes are significantly determined by the political economy of local governance: villages with stronger participatory planning processes, active village representative councils, and transparent financial management achieved substantially better socioeconomic outcomes than those where village funds were captured by local elites or dominated by the village head with limited accountability. Despite these political economy constraints, the data show measurable improvements in poverty reduction, infrastructure development, and small business growth across the regency between 2015 and 2023. The study contributes to the political economy of decentralization literature and offers practical recommendations for strengthening participatory governance mechanisms to maximize the socioeconomic transformation potential of village funds in island and coastal communities such as those in South Buton

Impact of Nigeria’s importation of electrical power machinery and iron and steel from South Africa on the manufacturing sector output of Nigeria
type: item
description: The study adopted the import-led and export-led growth theories, arguing that imports of capital goods and exports of commodities can stimulate productivity and economic growth. Using a modified Cobb-Douglas production framework and annual time series data from 1996–2023, the study specified an ARDL model, the study specified an ARDL model to examine how Nigeria’s imports of electrical power machinery and iron and steel from South Africa affected manufacturing output. Unit root, cointegration, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity, and stability tests were conducted using E-Views 10. The results showed moderate correlations among the variables, with no coefficient exceeding 0.80, indicating absence of multicollinearity. The ARDL lag selection used Akaike Information Criterion, while the Bounds test confirmed cointegration since the F-statistic (4.437013) exceeded the 5% upper bound (3.38), implying a long-run relationship. Long-run estimates revealed that electrical power machinery imports positively influenced manufacturing output, while real exchange rate and GDP growth negatively affected it. In the short run, electrical machinery, iron and steel imports, and exchange rate significantly boosted output. Diagnostic tests confirmed no autocorrelation, no heteroskedasticity, and stable model parameters through the CUSUM test. The study concluded that imports of capital machinery and industrial materials from South Africa contributed positively to Nigeria’s manufacturing sector, especially in the short run. It advised that Nigeria ought to maintain a situation of strategic importation of productive machinery and at the same time encourage production of steel locally, exchange rate stability, infrastructural growth and industrial policies that enhance the local manufacturing capability.

Impact of Corporate Income Tax and Value-Added Tax Revenue on Economic Growth in Nigeria: Evidence from an ARDL Bounds Testing Approach
type: item
description: Nigeria relies heavily on tax revenues, particularly Corporate Income Tax (CIT) and Value-Added Tax (VAT), to fund public expenditure and drive economic growth. However, persistent debates exist regarding the effectiveness of these taxes in stimulating national output, with some studies reporting positive impacts while others suggest negligible or negative effects. This study employed an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) framework to examine the impact of corporate income tax revenue and value-added tax revenue on economic growth in Nigeria, controlling for real interest rate and labour force participation. The ARDL bounds testing approach was used to test for long-run cointegration and short-run dynamics among the variables. Where cointegration existed, an error correction model captured both long-run equilibrium and short-run adjustments. Pre-estimation tests included unit root and bounds tests, while post-estimation diagnostics assessed autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity, multicollinearity, and model stability using CUSUM and CUSUMSQ. The findings indicate considerable variability in Nigeria’s macro-fiscal indicators over 1994–2023, with corporate income tax (mean = ₦784.94 billion; SD = ₦1,018.90 billion) and VAT revenue (mean = ₦711.63 billion; SD = ₦927.35 billion) showing high volatility and non-normality (JB = 91.09; 78.64). Unit root tests reveal mixed orders of integration [I(0) and I(1)], validating ARDL use. Bounds testing confirms cointegration (F = 3.66 > 3.49). Long-run results show corporate income tax positively affects growth (β = 0.308, p < 0.01), while VAT has a negative effect (β = –0.00006, p < 0.05). Short-run adjustment occurs at 43%. The error correction term (0.43) suggests a moderate adjustment speed toward equilibrium. In conclusion, improving corporate tax collection and administration can stimulate economic growth, while VAT policies require careful calibration to avoid unintended contractionary effects.

Financial Development, ATM Penetration, and Economic Growth in West African Economies
type: item
description: Despite sustained efforts to deepen financial systems in West Africa, economic growth outcomes have remained uneven, raising concerns about the effectiveness of financial development initiatives such as ATM expansion and credit provision to the private sector. Against this background, this study examined the relationship between financial development, ATM penetration, and economic growth in selected West African economies. The methodology is anchored on the extended Solow–Swan growth framework developed by Mankiw, Romer, and Weil, which incorporates human capital into economic growth analysis. The study specifies economic growth as a function of physical capital, human capital, financial development, and control variables, using a dynamic panel model. Data covering 16 West African countries (2004–2023) were analyzed with the System GMM estimator to address endogeneity and heterogeneity. Pre-estimation and post-estimation diagnostics ensured robustness, while variables were sourced from the World Bank, WGI, and UNDP databases. The correlation results show no severe multicollinearity, with pairwise coefficients generally below 0.80, except for RGDP–GFCF (0.8568). Cross-sectional dependence tests are significant (Pesaran = 3.409, p = 0.0007; Friedman = 41.567, p = 0.0001), justifying time effects in estimation. System GMM results indicate strong growth persistence, as lagged LOGRGDP is positive and significant (β = 0.994, p < 0.01). ATM spread negatively affects growth (β = −0.0054, p < 0.05). Domestic credit to the private sector is insignificant (β = −0.0004, p > 0.10). AR(2) (p = 0.435) and Hansen (p = 0.391) confirm model validity. Diagnostic tests confirmed instrument validity and model adequacy. The study concludes that financial infrastructure expansion alone is insufficient to drive growth without efficiency-enhancing reforms.

Investigating Regulatory Compliance with Road Setback Requirements in Developmental Activities in the Anambra Capital Territory
type: item
description: This paper examined the essence of setbacks in sitting structures and buildings in Anambra Capital Territory (ACT). The aim is achieved through the objective, to determine the essence of setbacks in developmental projects in Anambra Capital Territory. As a result of non-compliance with road setbacks for development, ACT had become characterized by inadequate and deteriorated road network, walkways, unregulated building patterns, poor sanitation, uncontrolled street trading, mountains of garbage and chaotic transport system creating traffic and human congestion, noise pollution and overcrowding, among others. This work intends to address these issues and educate the citizens how road setbacks are essential. To achieve the stated aim, the study determined the essence of the sited structures to set standards in ACT. The foremost causes of non- compliance with road setbacks in ACT approved by professionals and non- professionals were also identified. The findings conclude that since there is a severe environmental effect in ACT, there is need for environmental education and awareness in the area, to educate the public on the importance of implementing road setbacks. When people understand the reasons for urban planning, they will be far less likely to violate the legal construction standards and will likewise make objections known.

Dissociative Social Interaction Patterns of Clove Farmers in Anrang Village
type: item
description: The purpose of this research is to examine: (1) The potential for dissociative interactions between clove farmers in Anrang Village; and (2) the forms of efforts made to overcome dissociative interactions between clove farmers. This research applies a qualitative method using a descriptive approach. The researcher chose a qualitative approach to achieve the research objectives through data collection using observation, interview and documentation techniques. The instruments used include observation guidelines, interview guidelines, and documentation. Interviewing 22 informants, namely clove farmers in Anrang Village. In the data analysis process, there are four stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that: (1) The potential for dissociative social interactions between farmers in Anrang Village is divided into three, namely a) Social jealousy due to differences in clove harvests with those of others and jealousy over land distribution and land inheritance; b) Competition marked by the closure of road and irrigation access, unhealthy economic competition among farmers, theft of clove seeds and plants, price competition between traders, competition to control more fertile and productive land; c) Provocation marked by the emergence of a third party in the dispute between the two parties leading to physical violence to murder, provocation from outside parties or families that worsens land disputes, social incitement, and provocation that ends in the destruction of other people's clove fields. As for (2) the resolution of dissociative interactions that occur between clove farmers in Anrang Village is divided into 2 efforts, namely: a) Negotiation with dialogue between the two parties directly involved and a family approach; b) Mediation involving the hamlet head, village head, or community leaders as a third party in resolving dissociative interactions between clove farmers by providing …

Several Factors Supporting the Success of Development Extension Strategies in the Agricultural Sector
type: item
description: Development extension is a communication and learning process aimed at improving community knowledge, skills, and participation in current sustainable development programs. This article aims to analyze the factors supporting the success of development extension strategies in the agricultural sector. A literature review was conducted using various relevant domestic studies. The results of the study indicate that the success of extension programs depends on various factors, including the extension workers, the targets, the methods and media used, the materials delivered, and support from relevant institutions. Extension worker performance is influenced by work experience and available facilities; target characteristics influence the level of participation in the program; methods and media significantly influence innovation adoption; the quality of materials determines the effectiveness of information delivery; and institutional support determines the sustainability of extension programs. Thus, the success of development extension programs cannot be seen from a single aspect but requires cooperation from all parties involved to achieve development goals optimally.

Contribution of Counseling in Building Clients' Ability to Adapt to the Community in Correctional Centers
type: item
description: The purpose of this study is to analyze the contribution of counseling services at the Correctional Center (Bapas) in supporting the social reintegration process of clients. As an institution that plays a crucial role in guiding inmates after their release from prison, Bapas has a responsibility to ensure that clients are able to function socially, psychologically, and economically in society. Counseling programs at Bapas are aimed at helping clients understand the social and legal consequences of criminal acts, change their life orientation, and improve the social skills necessary to adapt to their new environment. This study uses a literature review method with secondary data as the primary basis. Secondary data were obtained from various written sources, such as books, scientific journals, research reports, census results, and articles. An evaluation of the program's effectiveness indicates that the success of the service is strongly influenced by internal and external factors, such as client readiness, family support, the competence of the community counselor, the availability of facilities, and the responsiveness of the social environment. The study also reveals that structured, professional, and ongoing counseling and supervision can reduce the risk of recidivism and increase the chances of successful social reintegration. Thus, Bapas services play a strategic role in rebuilding clients' lives and strengthening social security in the community.

The Effectiveness of Using Social Media as a Tool of Public Relations Communication at the Tamala Regency DPRD Office
type: item
description: The development of information technology has brought major changes in various aspects of life, including in the way of communication. The government and public institutions have begun to use social media to disseminate information, educate the public, and receive input and complaints effectively and faster. However, the use of social media as a communication tool for Public Relations certainly has challenges. These challenges include strategies for managing the dissemination of information so that the message conveyed can be well received by various circles of society. This study discusses the effectiveness of the use of social media as a communication tool for Public Relations in the Bakalar Regency DPRD office. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type of research. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data presentation, data condensation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of the use of social media as a communication tool for Public Relations at the Takalar Regency DPRD office is considered less effective which is measured through four indicators, namely the attractiveness of social media is increased by presenting more varied and interesting content. The clarity of information conveyed through social media is enhanced through an orderly structure and the use of easy-to-understand language. The completeness of information requires more relevant content for the public in order to provide ease of access to the Takalar Regency DPRD's social media which utilizes social media platforms in disseminating information

The Relationship of Legal Subjects in Making Agreements Without Conducting Face-to-Face Meetings Based on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ecosystem: Business Law Implementation
type: item
description: The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technology has presented new challenges in treaty law, especially regarding the validity of legal relations that occur without face-to-face meetings. This study uses a normative-empirical method to analyze the application of treaty law in the context of the AI ecosystem. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between the legal terms of agreements based on Article 1320 of the Civil Code and the practice of agreements made through AI-based digital media. The data sources came from a literature study of laws and regulations, jurisprudence, and online treaty practices. Data collection techniques are carried out through literature studies and participatory observation of the implementation of AI in community legal interactions. The data analysis technique uses the law enforcement approach and the concept of recht vacuum to assess whether there is a legal vacuum. The results of the study show that agreements made through AI are still declared valid and binding as long as they meet the legal elements of the agreement according to the Civil Code, except for certain types of agreements that legally require face-to-face meetings such as land buying and selling, notary deeds, and grants, in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions

Gender and School-Type Differences in Food Preferences, Dietary Habits, and Influencing Factors among Gen Z Teenagers
type: item
description: In recent years, the eating behaviors of Generation Z teenagers have become a growing concern for health educators, parents, and policymakers due to the rising influence of digital media, shifting cultural norms, and school environments. These factors, alongside gender and school type, shape how teenagers make food choices and perceive their health. This study investigated gender and school-type differences in food preferences, dietary habits, perceived health outcomes, and the influence of social, cultural, and digital factors among Generation Z teenagers in selected secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study used a descriptive survey design to cover the perceptions among 150 Gen Z teenagers in selected public and private secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling method ensured balanced representation. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.84), reviewed by experts. Trained assistants administered the instrument during school hours. ANOVA and Tests of Between-Subjects Effects analyzed hypotheses using SPSS version 25 at a 0.05 significance level. The result showed no significant difference in food preferences among Gen Z teenagers based on gender and school type (F = 1.309, p = .274). However, school type significantly influenced how food preferences affected daily dietary habits (F = 4.580, p = .034). There was no significant relationship between dietary choices and perceived health outcomes (F = 0.286, p = .594), nor did social, cultural, and digital influences significantly shape food preferences (F = 0.695, p = .406). Female students in private schools reported higher influence from external factors (Mean = 3.10), while males showed more stable patterns across both school types. The study concludes that while school type plays a role in dietary behavior, gender differences are less pronounced. It recommends targeted nutrition education and health promotion strategies, particula…

type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effect of self-management techniques on the learning discipline of eighth-grade students at Frater Don Bosco Middle School, Tarakan. Learning discipline remains a significant obstacle in the school environment. Self-management techniques were chosen as an intervention because they can train students to manage their time, behavior, and learning responsibilities independently. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group type. The sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class, which were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was a learning discipline questionnaire. The results showed a significant increase in student learning discipline after being given self-management treatment, compared to the control class. This finding indicates that self-management techniques have a positive effect on improving student learning discipline. The implication of this study is the importance of implementing self-management strategies in the learning process to support optimal student academic achievement.

Regional Integration and Economic Growth in the Community of Sahel Saharan States
type: item
description: Regional integration is a crucial strategy to foster economic growth, competitiveness, and political stability among developing countries. This study examines the impact of regional integration on economic growth in the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD) using a composite integration index that encompasses trade, finance, infrastructure, production, and the movement of persons. Grounded in endogenous growth theory, particularly the Lucas model, the research highlights human capital, trade openness, and knowledge spillovers as key drivers of long-term growth. Employing dynamic panel data methods and the System GMM estimator, the study addresses challenges such as endogeneity and heterogeneity among member countries. Key variables include regional integration indices, human and physical capital, institutional quality, and exchange rates. Robustness tests confirm the validity of the model. Results show a positive and significant effect of regional integration on economic growth, primarily through trade, finance, infrastructure development, and the free movement of people. In contrast, production integration shows no significant impact. Economic growth persistence is also observed, with past growth strongly predicting future growth across CEN-SAD countries. These findings suggest that strengthening regional integration and addressing structural challenges will likely enhance economic performance and development in the region. Policy implications include promoting greater collaboration in infrastructure, financial markets, and labor mobility to maximize the benefits of growth.

Foreign Direct Investment, Diaspora Remittances, and Youth Unemployment in Nigeria
type: item
description: The current state of sectoral performance reveals that Nigeria’s productivity framework is inherently weak in delivering the desired socioeconomic outcomes in terms of employment generation. This study examined the impact of foreign direct investment and diaspora remittances on youth unemployment in Nigeria from 1986 to 2022. This study employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) approach to achieve its objectives. The dependent variable of this study is youth unemployment, while the independent variables are foreign direct investment, remittances, inflation, and real gross domestic product. The data for these variables were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the National Bureau of Statistics. The key results indicate that all variables are negatively correlated with youth unemployment, although foreign direct investment and inflation exhibit a significant relationship with youth unemployment at the 0.05 significance level. This study recommended, among other things, the need for the Nigerian government to attract foreign direct investment by improving the ease of doing business and promoting economic growth through infrastructure provision, which will also enhance FDI attraction in Nigeria.

POAC-based Principal Management Model in Planning the PAUD Unit Annual Program
type: item
description: This study presents a systematic literature review of the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling) management model as a strategic approach to planning the annual programs of PAUD (Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini) units. The review examines how each component of the POAC model contributes to enhancing leadership, improving the quality of planning, and facilitating program implementation in early childhood education settings. Through an extensive thematic analysis of peer-reviewed literature published between 2018 and 2024, the study identifies patterns, strengths, and practical challenges associated with the application of the model in PAUD institutions. Findings indicate that POAC-based management enhances administrative coordination, fosters participative leadership, and supports effective monitoring mechanisms. However, gaps persist in empirical evidence linking POAC to measurable child developmental outcomes, particularly in low-resource educational environments. The study recommends future research that integrates POAC with local context-specific strategies and calls for more evidence on its pedagogical impacts. Overall, this review affirms POAC's potential as a valuable framework for improving the governance and quality of early childhood education in Indonesia.
