This study aims to determine the contribution of leverage to companies’ profitability (EPS), which is analyzed by the EBIT EPS indifference point. This study employs analytical descriptive and utilizes secondary data collected through documentation. The results of this study indicate that if the company's EBIT value is higher than the indifference point, the company’s decision to use debt results in a high EPS value. On the other hand, if the company's EBIT value is lower than the indifference point, the company’s decision to use debt results in a low EPS value. If the EBIT value exceeds the indifference point, each additional EBIT will increase the company’s EPS value. In addition, if the EPS value increases and boosts the total income, the EPS value will be high, and the use of debt will be regarded as effective. Conversely, if the debt increase does not improve the total income, the EPS value will be low.

Water Quality Analysis and Water Pollution Effect from Upstream to Downstream of Brantas River - East Java
Authors: Irawanto Rony
Published: August 2024

Brantas River is the largest river in East Java, flowing from the city of Batu upstream until downstream in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. This river plays a crucial role as a vital natural resource that supports the various needs of the surrounding communities. This study serves as a preliminary investigation with the primary aim of assessing the water quality in three different zones of the Brantas River: the upper, middle, and downstream sites. Additionally, this research includes a review to identify the organisms exposed to water pollution in the Brantas River. The study was conducted from November 2020 to April 2023, utilizing an exploratory observational method at 19 observation stations. The data obtained was subsequently analyzed using a descriptive approach. Various parameters were observed, including pH (a measure of acidity or alkalinity), hardness (the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions), alkalinity (the capacity of water to neutralize acids), nitrate, nitrite, fluoride, and heavy metals such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe). The research findings indicate that in several upstream areas of the Brantas River, there were elevated hardness, nitrate, lead (Pb), and iron (Fe) that exceeded the established water quality standards. In the middle section of the river, water quality was generally satisfactory, although a few locations exhibited slightly elevated levels of lead (Pb). Meanwhile, all locations downstream of the Brantas River demonstrated water quality that exceeded the prescribed standards. After a literature review, it was discovered that various biota in the Brantas River have been exposed to pollutants, including fish species and plants like Ipomea aquatica and Eichhornia crassipes. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to improve water management and monitoring plants and biota in the Brantas River to preserve organisms in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

A jövőbeli erőművi portfólió elemzés költség- és kibocsátás minimum optimalizálás szempontjából
Authors: Bozsik Nándor
Published: August 2024

The article examines the expected composition of the power plant portfolio in Hungary by 2030. The indicators considered are the life-cycle unit costs (LCOE) and the life-cycle specific carbon dioxide emissions (LCA(CO2)) of the power plant types. The minimum of these two indicators, as objective functions, is determined by a linear programming method for the power plant portfolio. The results show that the LCOE minimum for the power plant portfolios in 2030 is worse in absolute terms and better in specific terms than in 2021. In both absolute and specific terms, the LCA(CO2) minimum is more favourable in 2021. These results are met under the thirty and twenty-five percent electricity import scenarios. With twenty percent imports, the absolute values are worse and the specific values are better for both indicators. On the other hand, the results of the calculations for 2030 fall short of the 2030 Agenda of the Institute for a Green Transition. This is due to the delay in commissioning a new nuclear power plant and the transformation of industry with increasing electricity demand. For the portfolios under review, a minimum of thirty percent of domestic generation from renewable sources is met. This contributes significantly to the European Union's ambition for the sector to be net greenhouse gas-free by 2050.

Performance measurement is vital to examine the performance of any institution. Due to the different nature of business operations, processes, and activities in Islamic banks, they have to be measured by a more focused instrument to reflect the Shariah compliance parts and their business nature compared to the conventional banks. Hence, M Score which has been developed by Abdul Rahim, Abdul Rahman and Syed AlHabshi (2016) has been adopted in this study. The findings from the computation will indicate which country gains the higher M Score in performance, and this can be used as a benchmarking exercise. This research aims to analyse and compare the M Score performance of Islamic banks in Malaysia and Indonesia. The content analysis via Annual Reports of Islamic banks has been used for this study.  The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The research was conducted on Islamic banks in Malaysia and Indonesia over a period of two years, from 2020-2021. This comparative research is expected to be an evaluation tool for Malaysian Islamic banks, helping them improve their performance to catch up with their counterparts in Indonesia. Thus, the purpose of this research proposal is to analyse and compare the effect of the soundness of Islamic banks based on the M Score performance of Islamic banks in Malaysia and Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that Islamic banks in Indonesia have a higher M Score ranking than those in Malaysia. There are significant differences in the performance of Islamic banks based on the Need Fulfilment and Equitable Distribution (NFED), Economic Growth (EG), and Economic Stability (ES) in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Future Envisioning of Hybrid Political Order
Authors: López Martín Pedro Lopez , Yağcı Sait
Published: August 2024

Hybrid political order is a relatively new political concept for explaining a state-building reality observed in some new post-conflict states. Hybrid political orders and hybridity have evolved as a result of the emergence of fragile states that hardly function in the international system. The fragile states began to be characterized by post-modernity and did not fit in the classical model of the state. Thus, this paper explores the literature to demonstrate how hybrid political order functions within domestic governance than in the interaction with other states and in the international system. The purpose of this study is to examine a hybrid political order in the international system by exploring the determinants of legitimacy and recognition. Such exploration and analysis are in addition grounded on peace-building and state-building theories. This paper envisions the hybrid political order as a possible alternative for better functioning of the international system.
