GEMPITA pilkada gemuruhnya tengah memekakkan telinga publik. Mimpi dan imaji dibaurkan dalam "pentas demokrasi" sebagai arena memanggungkan janji-janji. 171 daerah membentuk formasi menyongsong "suksesi kepemimpinan lokal" berbiaya tinggi. Fenomena mahar politik tidak terbendung memenuhi jalan rekomendasi partai. Sengkurat kian beranjak dengan paslon-paslon yang tertindih derap korupsi dari ruang kesumat tahta dan harta. OTT KPK terberitakan dalam pekabaran tanpa jeda atas problema "kerakusan" paslon pilkada. Partai-partai tampak menarasikan "kesuciannya", sementara rakyat senantiasa mendapatkan suguhan mengenai "najisnya" pergulatan pasangan. Mahalnya sesi perhelatan pilkada mengkonstruksi ingatan yang konklusif betapa "berharganya jabatan". Apalagi posisi kepala negara. Pilpres tidak mungkin menafikan diri bebas dari "kerumunan persekutuan bandar". Itulah yang mudah dieja oleh khalayak di kala membaca lembar demi lembar kisah jelang coblosan di bentara pilkada.

Kontestan yang tidak ramah lingkungan dalam bahasa yang hiperbolik dapat mengguncang tatanan ekologis lndonesia. Dan inilah yang sedang dipentaskan.

Therefore, the author took the initiative to create a mobile game that raised one of the culture of the country of Indonesia in general, especially for the provinces contained in the island of Sumatra. In the process of making this game the author uses Adobe Flash Professional Creative Suite 5.5 software for making all the characters, background and sound effects. Because in Flash itself already there are some sound library that can be used for the needs of the application in this game that the author made. For the programming language used the author uses only one programming language that is ActionScript 3.0. this programming language is functional enough to build a game, because it is supported with Object Oriented Programming which facilitate in making this game. In the latest version of Adobe Flash it is now possible to publish data into applications gained in instal on mobile devices, in this case android, making it possible to create android applications without having to abandon actionscript as the programming language used.

Purpose The study aims to examine the military-connected firms' risk preference, specifically in the innovation intensity level context. The authors argue that firms with military-experienced top management have conservative and risk-averse behavior, influencing the innovation investment policy. Design/methodology/approach The authors use nonfinancial Indonesian-listed firms from 2010 to 2018 amounted to 2,504 firm-year observations. Findings The authors document a negative relationship between military connection with both innovation activities and outputs. The additional analysis documents that risk-preferences of military-connected firms will be drastically changed when the industry has a high digital level, which confirms that risk-averse military-experienced management is less dominant with adaptation skill. The authors also identify that veterans did not need a long tenure to influence firms' innovation investment policy. Lastly, the result is robust due to various endogeneity tests employed. Originality/value This study further examines military-connected firms' technological innovation compared to prior studies and enriches the related literature.

The global financial crisis catalyzed a major re-evaluation of the relation: ship between society and the financial sector.

This study aims to analyse the level of efficiency of zakat institutions in Indonesia between 2014 and 2018. Zakat institutions are divided into three clusters based on the organisation's nomenclature: the government, public, and private groups. The division of these clusters aims to see differences in the management of zakat funds between each group. This study uses a quantitative research approach through the Free Disposal Hull (FDH) method to produce a more comprehensive average efficiency estimation than the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The sampling technique is purposive, and there are fourteen research objects observed. The government cluster is the cluster with the highest efficiency value. The private set comes in second, and the public group comes in third ranking. The high score that the government cluster earns is due to their primary business purpose, which focuses on managing zakat funds. The results of this study can be used as references for the policy establishment of zakat institutions in Indonesia.

Furthermore, the findings also show that the performance of family firms significantly improve when the firms are affiliated with political connections. Our findings imply that establishing political connections in family firms will increase the performance of the firms

TULISAN ini merupakan permenungan atas realitas yang memperhinakan peradaban bangsa. Korupsi merayapi seluruh koordinat institusi negara yang jumawah kuasa dengan harta dan tahtah. Khalayak menyaksikan betapa korupsi menjadi produk keserakahan "modal maupun otoritas legal" yang menjalar di tubuh negara. Simaklah korupsi yang diungkap KPK selama ini, termasuk korupsi sektor: pertambangan, layanan umum, e-KTP, serta para penikmat dana BLBI, adalah orang-orang yang berbilang "sang kuasa" kapital. Kasus skandal BLBI yang "naik-turun" pengungkapannya, dana pungut dan sogokan yang melintas di pojok-pojok "terminal" kota, serta transaksi sumber daya alam di bumi Papua yang belum tergoyahkan, sungguh telah membelalakkan mata publik.

Government Internal Auditor Apparatus (GIAA), as a professional organization of government internal auditors, consists of Indonesia's National Government Internal Auditor (BPKP) and Inspectorate on the level of local government and has a very important role in creating clean, fair, transparent, and accountable governance. Nevertheless, in running its responsibilities and functions, GIAA often faces audit conflicts that lead to a dilemma situation. The audit conflict will become an ethical dilemma when GIAA faces ethical and unethical choices that determine an auditor's decision-making (Windsor et al., 1995). GIAA as a professional organization is required to be able to make appropriate conclusion from the audit findings based on the applicable code of ethics in the constitution and profession. Ethical decision is a publicly acceptable conclusion, both legally and morally ( Jones, 1991; Trevino, 1986). Several previous studies suggest that there are significant individual and situational factors that influence a person in making decisions ethically (Trevino, 1986). The individual factor that influences one's determination in facing ethical dilemmas is spiritual and ethical orientation, whereas the situational factor that supports in ethical decision-making is personal ethical judgment. Based on the aforementioned explanation, this study aims to examine the effect of ethical orientation on ethical decision, either directly or through ethical judgement at GIAA of Financial and Development Supervisory Board (BPKP) and Inspectorate East Java Local Government. Test results show that ethical orientation has a significant positive effect on ethical decision; ethical orientation has a significant positive effect on ethical judgment; ethical judgment has a significant positive effect on ethical decision; and ethical judgment mediates the relationship between ethical orientation and ethical decision.

Food Estate is a government program with the concept of integrated food production development covering agriculture, plantation and animal husbandry located in a large land area. In simple terms the concept of Food Estate like a food industry villages. In running this program required a large capital, so the government opens opportunities for investment locations for the private sector to achieve efficiency, effectiveness and added value of the products that produced. The presence of a wave of private investment in the food estate program was not able to raise the welfare of the tenant farmers. Agricultural land tenure by investors makes the farmers only as laborers. So, the investors are who get benefits in this food estate program. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to look for other capital alternative. By using library research, in this study, cash waqf can be used as the capital alternative. Through cash waqf, assets of waqf in the form of empty lands can be used to be processed into agricultural land. Cash waqf can also be in the form of productive loans for farmers and agricultural investment. The large potential of cash waqf in Indonesia is expected to replace the role of private investors.
