SMEs as an organization to succeed and to be sustainable must have the most essential and strategic capital, namely creativity, competitive advantage, and intellectual capital. This study aims to explore how creativity and intellectual capital determines SMEs' sustainability as well as examine the emerging role of competitive advantage in supporting this relationship. A quantitative method was applied to gain a better understanding of the relationship between variables undergoing Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). This study collected data from 123 SMEs in East Java of Indonesia using an online survey. The approach adopted in this study is a convenience random sampling method, which is widely used in entrepreneurship and SMEs' sustainability research. The findings showed that intellectual capital positively affects both competitive advantage and SMEs' sustainability. Additionally, the result of this study confirms a robust relationship between intellectual capital and SMEs' sustainability. However, partially, creativity failed in explaining SMEs' sustainability. Furthermore, this study confirmed that competitive advantage has successfully mediated both the influence of creativity and intellectual capital to SMEs' sustainability. Although this research only involved participants in East Java, this study can be the first step for relevant research of SMEs' sustainability, in particular, in Indonesia.

Recently, Social media has become a concern for businesses, including Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). SMEs began to adopt social media to support their performance. To benefit from the application of social media, SMEs must implement the right strategy. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the use of social media in SMEs. Furthermore, alignment between social media functionalities and strategies and their effect on SME's performance are investigated. A case study is conducted in Gymi, a garment SMEs in East Java, Indonesia. The data collection includes interviews with the owner of SMEs, observations, and document analysis. Data analysis is performed by pattern matching, which matches the patterns from the literature with data from the case study. The results of this study show that cost-effectiveness, interactivity, and compatibility are factors that influence the use of social media in Gymi. The social media used by Gymi are Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, and LINE. However, the main social media used to support Gymi's functions is Instagram. Gymi has a relatively good social media strategy as it has defined a specific goal, target audience, and channel selection for social media (Instagram). It also has specific resources and policies to handle social media. Gymi monitors and evaluates their social media content activities. These strategies are aligned with the Instagram feature used to support Gymi's function, particularly marketing, sales, customer service, and to some extent, internal operation. The alignment contributes to Gymi's performance measured by the increase in reputation (number of Instagram followers) and sales.

Manihot esculenta Crantz, commonly known as cassava, is a staple aliment that is a significant source of revenue for farmers. The embryogenic callus is crucial in the genetic engineering of various crop species, including cassava. Four cultivar cassava landraces from East Java were assessed for their ability to produce friable embryogenic callus (FEC) for protoplast isolation. In this study, four cassava cultivars; (Kaspro, Kuning, Gajah, and Gendruwo); were used to obtain FEC, which involved the culture of immature leaf lobes (ILLs) and apical buds (ABs) media containing MS supplemented with 33 μM picloram and 2 μM of CuSO₄ (M1) or MS supplemented with 50 μM 2,4-D and 2 μM CuSO₄ (M2). The highest FEC induction efficiency ranged from 72% to 57%, and the highest FEC number ranged from 4.7 to 3.7 with AB explants in media containing MS + 33 μM pilocram and 2 μM CuSO₄ (M1). On the other hand, the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis induction ranged from 67% to 53%, and the number ranged from 4.4 to 3.4. The efficiencies of FEC induction ranged from 48% to 42%, and the number ranged from 3.1 to 2.6 with AB explants in media containing MS + 50 μM 2,4-D and 2 μM CuSO₄ (M2); the efficiency of FEC induction ranged from 56% to 50%, and the value ranged from 3.6 to 2.4 with ILL explants. The FEC induction of the Gendruwo cultivar, which was examined using AB and ILL explants, demonstrated the lowest efficiency. Nevertheless, all four cultivars showed the ability to generate FEC, even though their effectiveness differed depending on the explant genotype and the applied media.

Background: The live bird market (LBM) plays an important role in the dynamic evolution of the avian influenza H5N1 virus. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to monitor the genetic diversity of the H5N1 viruses in LBMs in Indonesia. Methods: Therefore, the disease surveillance was conducted in the area of Banten, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Jakarta Province, Indonesia from 2014 to 2019. Subsequently, the genetic characterization of the H5N1 viruses was performed by sequencing all 8 segments of the viral genome. Results: As a result, the H5N1 viruses were detected in most of LBMs in both bird' cloacal and environmental samples, in which about 35% of all samples were positive for influenza A and, subsequently, about 52% of these samples were positive for H5 subtyping. Based on the genetic analyses of 14 viruses isolated from LBMs, genetic diversities of the H5N1 viruses were identified including clades 2.1.3 and 2.3.2 as typical predominant groups as well as reassortant viruses between these 2 clades. Conclusions: As a consequence, zoonotic transmission to humans in the market could be occurred from the exposure of infected birds and/or contaminated environments. Moreover, new virus variants could emerge from the LBM environment. Therefore, improving pandemic preparedness raised great concerns related to the zoonotic aspect of new influenza variants because of its high adaptivity and efficiency for human infection.

본 논문은 인도네시아의 국민국가적 메타내러티브와 동티모르의 로칼내러티브의 서술 구조를 비교·분석한다. 이 두 내러티브는 모두 민족을 초역사한 민족주의적 역사서술 방식을 보여주고 있지만, 인도네시아와의 통합과 분리라는 각기 다른 정치적 지향점 속에서 역사적 사건에 대한 서로 다른 해석을 내리고 있다. 우선 메타내러티브에서는 로칼의 다양성을 민족의 도식 속에 흡수해서 바라본다. 이 내러티브에서는 원형민족의 상을 자바와 수마트라의 일부 왕국에서 찾는다. 마자빠힛과 스리위자야를 중심으로 한 이 왕국들은 힌두-불교문화를 중심으로 찬란한 과거 문명을 꽃피우고 영토적 통일성을 이룬 특징이 있다. 이러한 영광스러운 과거는 곧 식민시대의 도래와 함께 사라진다. 메타내러티브에서는 식민시기의 암울한 현실에서 종족들이 어떻게 일치단결하여 식민의 착취와 압제에 항거했는지를 부각시킨다. 그럼으로써 다양한 종족들은 "항쟁"이라는 공통의 목표로 가진 민족이라는 이름의 단일 정체성으로 규정된다. 이 과정에서 식민세력에 대해 우호적인 입장을 취한 로칼의 역사는 메타내러티브에서 누락되었고, 초국가적 역사서술 양상 속에서 로칼의 역사는 후진적인 것으로 은밀히 묘사되었다. 또한 다양한 분리주의 운동은 공산주의 등의 이데올로기에 의한 반통합적 소요로만 그려졌다. 한편, 동티모르의 자주적 역사관 속에서 역사서술의 목표는 동티모르의 민족을 창출하고 민족의식을 고취시키는 것으로, 그 궁극적 목표는 인도네시아로부터의 분리독립이었다. 이 역사에서는 영광스러운 과거의 흔적을 찾아낼 수 없는 한계점을 "가상의 영광스러움"에 대한 인식의 환기로 극복하고, 포르투갈 식민기억을 의도적으로 과장하여 네덜란드 식민지였던 인도네시아와의 단절을 강조한다. 또한 식민세력의 450년간의 수탈과 착취를 강조하고, 그 고통 속에서 동티모르 민족이 노예화되었음을 보여주며, 이와 같은 노예화가 인도네시아라는 또 다른 식민국에 의해 연속되고 있음을 상기시켜 이를 독립운동의 모티브로 삼고 있다.

As migrants develop businesses abroad, entrepreneurship needs specific strategies due to some barriers when establishing and doing businesses. This paper examines the kinds of problems that have been faced in Indonesian migrant entrepreneurships in Taiwan and how the entrepreneurs cope with the difficulties. They use structural and cultural strategies for survival, seize the opportunities for self-development, and develop future careers. Research result shows that the limitations of Indonesian entrepreneurships in Taiwan are related to institutional issues, migrant status, business regulations, resource-providing institutions, language barriers, competition among migrants and locals, and capital. Hence, migrant entrepreneurs must conduct strategic actions to continue their businesses by developing innovations to grow and survive. Some measures include changing from offline to online marketing especially when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, product diversification using migrants and local people's assistance and networks, and setting competitive prices. This paper is based on qualitative research. The data were obtained through interviews in East Java-Indonesia and in Taiwan in 2022. The data were analysed using the descriptive analysis with sociological perspectives.

Trust is essential for tax compliance. Various tax management issues might diminish taxpayer trust. As a result, as a measure of transparency in the services of the Indonesia's Directorate General of Taxes (DGT), a method for filing various taxpayer complaints is necessary. Whistleblowing is a service given by the DGT that accepts taxpayer issues and complaints. It may be accessed on the DGT's official website. This strategy was intended to increase compliance by instilling trust among taxpayers. This study aims to show how whistleblowing affects tax compliance by utilizing trust as a mediating variable. The study relied on 400 questionnaires issued directly to East Java I DGT Region taxpayers. SEM-PLS with the Smart-PLS tool was utilized for data analysis. According to the study's findings, whistleblowing positively impacts tax compliance, and trust partially mediates the effect of whistleblowing on tax compliance. The outcomes of this study provide empirical proof for the Slippery Slope Framework's contention that building trust is an essential technique for increasing taxpayer compliance.
