Investigation of Islamic Social Reporting, Public Ownership, Size and Firm Value: Testing the Mediation Effect of Financial Performance: JEL Classification: G32, G34, M14, Q56, Z12

This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic Social Reporting (ISR), public ownership, and firm size on firm value, with financial performance as a mediating variable, focusing on companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). ISR serves as a crucial indicator for measuring corporate compliance with Sharia principles, encompassing social and environmental aspects. Research combining ISR with public ownership and firm size mediated by financial performance remains relatively rare in Indonesia.  The study observes companies included in the JII, utilizing annual financial report data from 2019 to 2023. Path analysis is used to examine the relationships between variables through 10 research hypotheses. The analysis results indicate that ISR and public ownership (KPP) do not influence firm value (Tobin’s Q, TBQ). Meanwhile, firm size (SIZ) negatively affects financial performance (KJK) and TBQ. In the second model test, KJK appears to positively affect TBQ, while ISR shows a negative effect on TBQ. Furthermore, the Sobel test results reveal that KJK can only mediates the effect of SIZ on TBQ. Mediation effects of KJK on TBQ are not observed for ISR and KPP. These findings confirm that ISR directly affects TBQ. The negative impact of ISR needs further investigation, as it is inconsistent with theoretical concepts

The results of this study show that the refusal of the National Democratic Party to join the Prabowo-Gibran government coalition is because this party does not have a strong political bargaining power both from the aspect of coalition politics and political ethics. The political implications of this party's political decision have impacted on the absence of opposition politics in the party system and the formation of a grand coalition government as a political consequence of the contestation of the 2024 presidential / vice presidential election and the weak culture of opposition parties in Indonesia since the Reformation era

Sepsis and Septic Shock in Pregnancy

Sepsis during pregnancy is a critical condition that leads to organ dysfunction due to an abnormal response to infection. It remains a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a global prevalence of 4.4% of live births affected by maternal sepsis, with varying incidences across countries. Sepsis ranks among the top five causes of maternal deaths globally, contributing to 12.7% of pregnancy-related mortality in the United States. The physiological changes during pregnancy, such as increased blood volume and immune response modulation, create conditions that make pregnant individuals more susceptible to infections, complicating the timely diagnosis of sepsis. Due to these physiological differences, common sepsis screening tools like qSOFA and SOFA are often inadequate in pregnant patients, highlighting the need for specialized diagnostic and management strategies. Early detection and timely treatment are essential to improving maternal outcomes. Several screening tools, such as the Maternal Early Warning Trigger (MEWT) tool, have been designed to aid in the early identification of deteriorating maternal health. Once sepsis is suspected, prompt antibiotic therapy, fluid resuscitation, and vasopressor support are critical to prevent progression to septic shock. Additionally, controlling the infection source through surgical intervention or drainage may be necessary. Despite advances in sepsis management, challenges remain, particularly in identifying and treating sepsis in pregnant patients due to overlapping symptoms with normal pregnancy changes. Therefore, early recognition and appropriate intervention are key to reducing the impact of sepsis during pregnancy
