<p><em>Earning growth is one of the company’s goals in accounting report. Dividend payment is assumed to have a link in the change of the profit in the following year. Pecking Order Theory revealed that a change in dividend will give a negative impact towards profit change. However, this statement contradicts to Zhou and Rulland’s research (2006) which showed that dividend payout has a positive impact towards profit change in the following year. This research is in accordance with signaling theory which describes that dividend is a reflection of a good performance from the company, thus, it will invite investors to increase their investment share. With the increase in the investment, the company is expected to expand and increase its profit.</em></p><p><em>The research is conducted in Indonesia towards all emitents in the manufactory sub sector by taking 95 research samples from companies that paid dividend in 2007, 2008,2009, and 2010. The research type is quantitative research with double regression analysis instrument. The dependent variable is the change of profit while the independent variable is dividend payout. Variable controls in this research are ROA, leverage, and size.The result of the research shows that dividend payout does not significantly influence the change of profit even though the number of co-efficient regression is positive. ROA and leverage variables significantly influence the change of profit while Size variable does not significantly influence it. In the maturity and stable level, the company will find it hard to increase the profit even though dividend payment is high.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Earning growth,Profit,  ROA, Leverage and Size.</em></p>

The emergence of e-commerce and express delivery services has significantly transformed business operations and consumer shopping experience. However, the resulting problem of packaging waste, particularly from overpackaging, poses serious challenges to environmental sustainability and human health. Existing research has proposed many solutions from various perspectives, but very few have considered the acceptability and consumer preference for these proposals. Using the value co-creation (VCC) theory, we established a research model to explore consumer preferences for e-commerce overpackaging solutions. A survey of 632 online consumers in Guangzhou and Shenzhen was conducted, and data were analyzed using the SmartPLS software. The results show that establishing a recycling system, government policy, and consumers’ environmental awareness have a significant positive impact on consumer preference, while combined packaging has a significant negative impact. We also found that government policy plays an intermediary role in establishing a recycling system and consumer preference. Based on these findings, we recommend that enterprises establish and improve their packaging recycling systems and that e-commerce platforms provide alternative options to combined packaging. Also, the government should play a guiding and coordinating role for enterprises and consumers, and environmental awareness among consumers should actively be promoted.

Abstract The positive impact of coal mining has been reported to increase the country's economy and community income. However, the negative impact is found to be reducing the physical and chemical parameters of air, noise, soil and spontaneous combustion quality, therefore, having the potential to decrease environmental quality. Environmental management is often carried out to improve the physical and chemical parameters of societal quality, in order to match the required standards, therefore, resulting in sustainable coal mining. The management has also created environmental costs, as an externality of coal mining activities. Based on the technical assessment conducted, the results showed that environmental management at Tarahan Port Unit of PT BUKIT ASAM Persero Tbk, has been implemented in accordance with the Environmental Management/Monitoring Plan (RKL/RPL) documents, as well as the prevailing Indonesian laws and regulations. The physical and chemical parameters were observed to have met the standards of environmental quality, for a sustainable community. However, the economical assessment showed a mismatch between planned and realized environmental management costs. The funds used in the second quarter increased by IDR. 121,183,548 or 102.02%, compared to the realization program in that of the first. This increase was due to the construction of a dust suppression system and an operational chimney for the 2X8 MW Steam Power Plant, via the use of Electrostatic Precipitators. This research recommended a detailed inventory of environmental cost plans and escalation, in order to anticipate risk factors. And also help in carrying out machine maintenances, which are known to produce emissions on a regular basis. Therefore the emission produced were observed to be decreased, with the funds for managing and monitoring the environment also reduced.

Gedambaan Village is one of the villages that has tourism potential in Kotabaru Regency, namely Gedambaan Beach. This beach offers two natural atmospheres that can be enjoyed simultaneously, namely views of green mountains and expanses of sea decorated with bagang fishermen, and equipped with various adequate facilities and infrastructure. The existence of coastal tourism will have a positive impact on the local community if they can participate in taking advantage of it as a new business opportunity.

This study aims to analyze community perceptions of the management of Gedambaan Beach tourism objects. The sample in this study amounted to 101 respondents consisting of 78 local people (approach with the Slovin formula to the number of family heads) and as many as 23 people (census) tourism object managers. Perception analysis was carried out descriptively using a Likert scale calculation. The results of the study showed that the local community feels that the existence of Gedambaan beach tourism did not provide job opportunities and business opportunities for them, while they were of the view that the management of the beach tourism needs support, good relations, and involvement of the local community, especially in environmental conservation.

In addition, overall destination satisfaction is positively affected by destination quality perceptions and affects loyalty in a positive way. Research limitations/implications During the literature review phase, no scale was found according to different destination characteristics (cultural, nature and sea destinations). In this regard, developing new scales to measure destination quality in accordance with different destination types would allow comprehending the subject in a more clear and detailed way. Practical implications The establishment of relationship between variable examined by this study ensures that product and services provided by the destination reach the correct target audience, which brings along the success to destination. For instance, destination management organizations could get information from travel agencies they work with about the characteristics, and motivations of tourists, and could develop their strategies, and plans, accordingly.
