Epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) is a protein that plays a role in maintaining sodium levels and can be used as a biomarker of hypertension. This study aims to develop an electrochemical immunosensor for detecting ENaC using a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) which is modified with reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The performance of RGO enhanced to provide covalent bonds between the -COOH residues at RGO and the terminal -NH2 of anti-ENaC. While anti-ENaC and ENaC decrease the peak of ferric cyanides current because of the resistance effect. The optimum concentration of anti-ENaC was 1.0 µg/mL for 30 min incubation time. The various concentration of ENaC has a linear relationship with the decreasing of ferric cyanide peak current in the range of 0.01-1.5 ng/mL, and the limit of detection found at 0.198 ng/mL. The low-level exposure of ENaC warrants the realization of a point-of-care device for early detection of hypertension in urine samples.

This research was conducted to see the influence of board characteristics, the firm size on firm value, and financial performance on companies with completed mergers and acquisitions on the Indonesian stock exchange. This study was used to look at financial performance, specifically in 7 years after the company made a merger from 2013-2020. This research instrument uses quantitative analysis data by testing predetermined hypotheses. The study also found that not all variables significantly impact the company's firm value and financial performance when conducting mergers. The main finding is that the more excellent board characteristic of the merger company will result in no improvement in the company's financial performance; this is due to a large number of improper decision-making actions because the rules issued by the board hinders it.

Organizations are increasingly acknowledging the vital impact of talent management on boosting their performance. Effective talent management within the central bank is crucial, as it plays an indispensable role in maintaining economic stability and advancing the nation’s financial well-being. The study aims to examine the role of talent management, transformational leadership, organizational climate, employee engagement, employee performance, and organizational commitment in increasing the central bank’s performance. The study uses a quantitative approach by collecting data from 600 sample employees of Bank Indonesia in 30 divisions of departments at the head office, 45 domestic representative offices, and 5 foreign representative offices. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling-LISREL. The finding shows that transformational leadership has a positive impact on talent management. Talent management has a positive impact on organizational climate, employee engagement, and organizational commitment. Organizational climate has a positive impact on employee engagement. Employee engagement has a positive impact on organizational commitment. Organizational climate, employee engagement, and organizational commitment have a positive impact on employee performance, while talent management does not have a positive impact on employee performance. Employee performance, organizational commitment, and talent management have a positive impact on organizational performance. The study offers valuable insights into talent management practices within central banks. It serves as a guide for central bank management and human capital professionals in formulating policies to enhance performance amidst disruptive times. Additionally, educators can leverage these findings to develop curricula that align more closely with industry demands and produce competent graduates ready to excel on the global stage.

The Indonesian government currently focuses on high infrastructure development to prepare for connectivity between one city and another. The massive construction of the new government capital is also called the archipelago's capital. This condition impacts companies supporting construction projects, which are growing rapidly. This growth is supported by corporate governance and the cash-holding industry, which supports infrastructure projects for the company's financial performance. This research aims to determine the role of cash holding and corporate governance (board skill, independent director, managerial ownership) on the financial performance of infrastructure-supporting manufacturing companies in Indonesia. The sample used in this research was 83 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2010-2020 period. This research uses panel data regression as a data analysis method. The results of this research show that managerial ownership significantly impacts increasing cash holding by maintaining the optimization of cash and cash equivalents. The company's managerial ownership cannot impact board skills because many companies still need to accommodate share ownership by management and board-skill-educated doctors. This condition also causes board size skills not to impact increasing cash holding in the company. Board skills have yet to be able to impact financial performance significantly. Managerial ownership and cash holding impact increasing return on assets, thereby increasing financial performance for manufacturing companies that support infrastructure projects. The independent director, as a variable moderator, still needs to be capable of moderating managerial ownership, board skill, and cash holding to improve financial performance. This condition is caused by data from several companies still needing more independent directors. Research provides a practical contribution to the owner as soon as possible, recruiting board members with doctoral education as competent board skills and making independent directors have a vital role in improving financial performance. The theoretical contribution to research is to enrich the theory of corporate governance and financial performance.

The maintenance of a sustainable mechanism to curb the rate of overfishing in similar water zones is one of the major challenges facing artisan fisheries in small island regions. Several factors instigate the decision by local fishermen to potentially choose a location to explore. Obviously, the demand to address these triggers, particularly those with negative impact tendencies, has become paramount. This study, therefore, is aimed at mapping out fishing heat spots based on arrival, background of the fishermen, and available species. Subsequently, an evaluation is conducted to ascertain the criteria influencing the decision on a specific position and also to determine the consequences of their negative impact on marine resource sustainability and coastal community welfare. For these reasons, data from fishermen, sellers and local distributors were collected by using questionnaires, and analyzed to generate useful information on related fishing ground. Furthermore, experts were involved in providing expert assessment for Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL). The results showed significant insights and therefore offer support to help regulators preserve marine resources, especially by updating their decision making capacity for increased coastal community welfare. The direct implication of this research also serves as a basis for conducting traditional fisheries, estimated not only to meet economic impact, but also promote sustainable environment.
