THE EFFECT OF FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY ON POTENTIAL DISPUTES IN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS
Financial transparency is one of the main pillars in maintaining the sustainability of healthy and fair business partnerships. This study aims to analyze the influence of the level of financial transparency on the potential for disputes in business partnerships in Indonesia. The research method used is a qualitative approach with literature analysis from various national law and business journals. The results of the study indicate that low transparency and accountability of financial reports are the main factors that cause distrust between business partners, which leads to contractual disputes and litigation ( Az'zahra & Wahyuningsih, 2024 ; Amanda et al., 2024 ). In addition, the application of Good Corporate Governance principles through information disclosure and public accountability has been proven to reduce conflict escalation and increase legal compliance in partnership relationships ( Madina & Apriani, 2024 ; Tarigan, 2024 ). This study also found that business disputes often arise due to information imbalances between major partners and minor partners, especially in the MSME sector and public-private partnerships ( Rahayu et al., 2025 ; Wardana, 2025). Thus, increasing financial transparency not only serves as a form of administrative compliance, but also as a preventive mechanism against potential disputes that could disrupt the stability of long-term business relationships

DU PONT SYSTEM ANALYSIS IN ASSESSING COMPANY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD 2019–2023
This study aims to analyze the company's financial performance using the Du Pont System approach for the 2019–2023 period. This method is used because it can provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship between profitability, asset utilization efficiency, and funding structure on Return on Equity (ROE). This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach with secondary data in the form of the company's annual financial report obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The analyzed variables These include Net Profit Margin (NPM), Total Asset Turnover (TATO), Equity Multiplier (EM), and ROE. The results show that the company's financial performance fluctuated throughout the study period. The increase in NPM after 2020 indicates improvements in operational efficiency and cost control, while the relatively stable TATO indicates the company's ability to optimize assets to generate sales. A moderate EM value indicates a balanced funding structure between equity and borrowed funds, thus managing financial risk.

EFFECTIVENESS OF COMMERCIAL MEDIATION IN RESOLUTION OF TRANSNATIONAL BUSINESS DISPUTES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LEGAL FRAMEWORKS AND PRACTICES IN THE ASEAN REGION
This study comprehensively examines the role and effectiveness of mediation as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism in the context of cross-border business in the ASEAN region. Using a qualitative approach using comparative case studies and legal document analysis, the study explores the legal framework of international commercial mediation, its implementation practices, and the challenges and opportunities in harmonizing mediation systems across ASEAN countries. The findings indicate that while mediation has significant advantages over litigation and arbitration in terms of cost efficiency, speed of resolution, and preservation of business relationships, its implementation in the ASEAN region faces structural barriers in the form of disparities in national legal frameworks, differences in legal cultures, and limited professional mediation infrastructure. Case studies from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam demonstrate substantial variation in the level of development of mediation institutions and the adoption of international standards. The study finds that the success of mediation depends heavily on factors such as the quality of the mediator, the commitment of the parties, the support of a strong legal framework, and the level of understanding of the advantages of mediation among business stakeholders. Progressive harmonization through the Singapore Convention on Mediation and other regional initiatives demonstrates positive momentum towards a more integrated mediation system in ASEAN.

Digital image processing has rapidly developed in various fields, one of which is the analysis of visual objects such as fruits. Edge detection is an important technique for identifying object boundaries in images, which is highly needed in the process of assessing the quality of apples. Apples have high economic value and are widely consumed, making accuracy in their visual analysis crucial, especially for automatic sorting and packaging purposes. However, variations in color, lighting, and ripeness levels pose challenges in the edge detection process. This study aims to optimize apple edge detection using the Canny algorithm, combined with Manual Thresholding and Otsu Thresholding methods. The preprocessing stages used include grayscale conversion, contrast stretching, and sharpening. The research was conducted on 200 apple images, consisting of 100 fresh apples and 100 rotten apples. The results show that the combination of Canny with Otsu Thresholding provides better detection performance compared to Manual Thresholding. Perfect detection accuracy for fresh apples increased from 27% to 51%, and for rotten apples from 51% to 81%. The average accuracy of the Otsu method was 66%, still below the 75% hypothesis, which was influenced by lighting variations during image acquisition. In conclusion, the Canny method with Otsu Thresholding is quite effective, especially for detecting the edges of rotten apples. Further suggestions include testing with controlled lighting and integrating additional methods for more stable results.

ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIVE STREAMING AND PRODUCT REVIEWS WITH IMPULSE BUYING DECISIONS IN ONLINE MARKETPLACES
The rapid growth of e-commerce has encouraged the emergence of various digital marketing strategies, particularly live streaming and product reviews, which play an important role in influencing consumer behavior. Although previous studies have widely examined factors affecting impulse buying, limited research has simultaneously highlighted the role of direct interaction through live streaming and the impact of social proof from product reviews on impulsive purchasing decisions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between live streaming (X1) and product reviews (X2) with customer impulse buying (Y) on online marketplace platforms. The research employed a quantitative approach using multiple regression analysis. The sample consisted of e-commerce users who had experienced impulsive purchases through live streaming features and product reviews. The findings revealed that live streaming significantly affects impulse buying with a significance value of 0.002 < 0.05, while product reviews also significantly influence impulse buying with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Simultaneously, both variables significantly impact impulse buying with an F-value of 71.032 > 2.33 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.442, indicating that 44.2% of impulse buying behavior is explained by live streaming and product reviews, while the remaining 55.8% is influenced by other factors. These results confirm that digital interaction-based marketing strategies effectively encourage consumer impulsive behavior and provide both theoretical and practical contributions to the study of digital consumer behavior
