Title: Closing the gender gap in STEM education: Improving female students' motivation in STEM through school-based intervention Authors: Indrayadi, Sharfina; Berlianto, Jimmy Daniel; Firdausi, Rayhan Fasya; Paramayudha, Biyan Shandy Abstract: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is vital for Indonesia's technological progress and economic competitiveness. Yet, female students remain underrepresented in STEM pathways despite consistently strong academic performance. Evidence from Bandung city junior secondary schools reveals that these students often report lower confidence, lower participation in practical STEM activities, and may receive less encouragement from teachers and parents. At the same time, school-level stakeholders are not aware of the potential gender barriers in learning. These gaps reflect the necessity for gender responsive education to shape inclusive school environments and female students' experience in learning STEM subjects. This study investigates how school-based interventions can help address gender gaps and barriers. Using a mixed methods design that combines student surveys, teacher interviews, classroom observations, and a behavioral intervention, the research highlights both the opportunities and limitations of school-level strategies in shifting perceptions and motivating female students to pursue STEM. The intervention introduced a one-day workshop for STEM teachers on gender-responsive pedagogy, followed by classroom implementation and teacher diaries. On the positive side, female students who were exposed to the program became more willing to challenge gender stereotypes and increasingly viewed women as capable of succeeding in STEM. Teachers also reported greater awareness of unconscious bias and began experimenting with lesson plans that included female role models and more inclusive classroom practices. At the same time, the effects on student motivation were uneven. Improvements in self-efficacy and perceived teacher support remained limited, with some indicators even showing decline as teachers struggled to adjust curriculum and pedagogy to diverse student needs.

Title: The impact of the commodity balance system on trade bureaucracy and food price in Indonesia Authors: Hasran; Gupta, Krisna; Aaron, Rasya Athalla Abstract: The Indonesian government faces a persistent conundrum: on one hand, it wants to help industries access affordable raw materials, including through imports. On the other hand, it faces pressure to protect domestic farmers and industries. To address this challenge, the Indonesian government believes that a quota restriction mechanism is the best policy approach. However, the implementation of quota restrictions are riddled with issues due to the system's vulnerability to data inaccuracies, a lengthy process, and corruption and rent seeking. To tackle these problems, the government introduced a new quota management system in 2022 called the Commodity Balance (Neraca Komoditas or NK). NK was designed to fix the issues occurring in the previous system by making the quota-setting process more data-driven, transparent, and integrated across ministries. This paper tries to evaluate the implementation of the NK system in Indonesia to facilitate the bureaucratic import processes for certain commodities. First, this paper reviews the old quota system as a form of quantitative restriction and highlights its key drawbacks. Second, it qualitatively assesses whether the NK system is able to address these issues. Third, it provides a quantitative analysis to examine whether the NK system has made import processes more efficient and reduced uncertainty in quota allocation.

Title: Exploring Online Reviews in Indonesia: Impacts on UGC Platforms and Consumers Authors: Nidhal, Muhammad; Indrayadi, Sharfina; Budiman, Louis; Sutrisna, Aang Abstract: The rapid development of technology and the digital economy has enabled every individual as a consumer to share their opinions with other users through reviews. Online reviews, as an integral part of the digital economy, are among the key factors that influence consumer behavior and purchase decisions. While the proliferation of online review practices can benefit both businesses and consumers, challenges remain in terms of the quality and reliability of the reviews, complexity of content moderation, and data privacy and protection issues. In the online review ecosystem, consumers - as the reviewers, and platforms - as the review system providers - are the primary actors, each playing important roles. In its practice, Law No. 8/1999 on Consumer Protection protects the rights and governs the obligations of consumers as reviewers. Meanwhile, user-generated content (UGC) platforms are responsible for evaluating and responding to the review contents, as regulated under the Minister of Communications and Informatics (MOCI) Regulation No. 5/2020 on Electronic System Organizers (ESOs) in the Private Sector. The interactions between them also imply new rights and obligations related to data protection in accordance with Law No. 27/2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law), which necessitates attention from all involved parties.
