The Dynamics of Political Turmoil in Iraq: US Intervention from the Gulf War to the Fall of Saddam Hussein
This paper analyzes the political dynamics of Iraq from the 1991 Gulf War to the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003 in the context of US intervention. The article uses a qualitative approach with a geopolitical and historical analysis of US foreign policy in the Middle East. The study shows that US military intervention, framed within the discourse of democratization, was actually aimed at maintaining political and economic hegemony over oil resources in the Persian Gulf region. The embargo policy, ongoing war, and military invasion led to the destruction of Iraq's socio-political structure and gave rise to prolonged instability. This study emphasizes that political transformation imposed from outside without understanding local social and historical complexities only results in national disintegration.

The Influence of Digital Empathy, Online Identity Formation, Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), and Social Media Fatigue on the Mental Health of Adolescents in West Java
This study investigates the influence of digital empathy, online identity formation, fear of missing out (FoMO), and social media fatigue on the mental health of adolescents in West Java, Indonesia. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 175 adolescent respondents through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3.0). The results reveal that digital empathy and online identity formation have a positive and significant effect on adolescents’ mental health, indicating that empathetic online behavior and authentic self-expression contribute to psychological well-being. Conversely, FoMO and social media fatigue demonstrate negative and significant effects, suggesting that excessive social comparison and emotional exhaustion reduce mental wellness. Moreover, social media fatigue mediates the relationship between FoMO and mental health, showing that digital overload acts as a psychological strain linking fear of exclusion to reduced well-being. The model explains 57% of the variance in mental health, indicating strong predictive power. These findings highlight the importance of cultivating digital empathy, promoting balanced online identity management, and implementing interventions to minimize FoMO and fatigue among youth. The study contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical strategies for enhancing adolescent digital well-being in the context of rapid social media engagement.

How Social Accountability and Community Support Affect Local Human Resources' Perceptions of the Sustainability of the Palm Oil Industry in Indonesia?
This study investigates how social accountability and community support influence local human resources’ perceptions of sustainability in Indonesia’s palm oil industry. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 respondents representing employees, supervisors, and community liaisons in major palm oil-producing regions. All constructs were measured using a five-point Likert scale, and data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) to test the proposed relationships. The results show that both social accountability (β = 0.46; p < 0.001) and community support (β = 0.39; p < 0.001) significantly enhance sustainability perception, explaining 64% (R² = 0.64) of the variance. Social accountability strengthens perceptions through transparency, ethical disclosure, and responsiveness, while community support reinforces trust, participation, and local cooperation. The findings highlight that sustainable development in the palm oil sector relies not only on environmental compliance but also on social governance and collective responsibility. The study contributes to theory by integrating Stakeholder Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior, providing empirical evidence that sustainability perception is shaped by institutional accountability and social interaction within local communities.
The Impact of Green Skills Training and Cross-Sector Collaboration on Workforce Competence through Digital Adaptability in the Central Java Industrial Area
This study investigates the influence of green skills training and inter-sector collaboration on workforce competency, with digital adaptation acting as a mediating variable within the Central Java industrial area. Using a quantitative design, data were obtained from 150 employees across manufacturing, food processing, textile, and electronics sectors, and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The findings reveal that both green skills training and inter-sector collaboration have significant positive effects on workforce competency, directly and indirectly through digital adaptation. Green skills training improves employees’ technical and environmental literacy, while collaboration among government, industry, and academia enhances knowledge sharing and capacity building. Digital adaptation functions as a pivotal intermediary that strengthens the impact of sustainability-oriented learning and collaboration on competency outcomes. The model demonstrates high explanatory power (R² = 0.69) and predictive relevance (Q² = 0.42). These results emphasize that integrating environmental and digital competencies is vital to shaping a future-ready workforce capable of supporting sustainable industrial transformation. The study advances Human Capital Theory and Dynamic Capability Theory by evidencing that workforce competency evolves through continuous green training, collaborative innovation, and adaptive digitalization. It further suggests that Indonesian policymakers and industry leaders should promote cross-sector programs that align green upskilling with digital readiness to enhance industrial competitiveness in the era of Industry 4.0 and sustainable development.

This study investigates the influence of internal control, green budgeting, and employee participation on environmental accountability in green property companies in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 140 respondents using a 1–5 Likert scale questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results show that internal control has a significant positive effect on environmental accountability, demonstrating the role of strong monitoring and evaluation systems in enhancing compliance with sustainability practices. Green budgeting also exhibits a positive and significant impact, highlighting the importance of allocating financial resources toward environmentally friendly initiatives. Furthermore, employee participation significantly strengthens environmental accountability, reflecting the need for inclusive involvement in organizational decision-making related to sustainability. Overall, the findings emphasize that integrating robust governance mechanisms, environmentally oriented budgeting, and employee engagement can substantially improve environmental accountability in Indonesia’s green property sector. These results provide both theoretical contributions to sustainability research and practical recommendations for policymakers and business leaders seeking to align corporate practices with global environmental standards.
