Arabic Literature Students Explore Business Financial Management, from Revenue to Financial Statements 

Berita (inggris)Student Activity Wednesday, 4 November 2026

YOGYAKARTA – In the business world, entrepreneurs are expected not only to develop their leadership and business management skills but also to understand financial management. A business’s financial health depends on its cash flow and how its finances are managed. This was in line with the topic discussed during a lecture on Monday, October 19, 2026, entitled “Financial Management in Entrepreneurship.” The session featured Diyah Wikan Rakhmatika, S.S., M.A., a 2009 graduate of Arabic Literature at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), a lecturer in Islamic Economics at Universitas Darussalam Ciamis, and the Finance and Accounting Manager at JATRA Design Studio.

During the session, Diyah explained three key topics: the difference between revenue and net profit, types of expenses, and types of financial statements. In discussing revenue, Diyah emphasized, “Margin is not profit.” She explained that many people often assume that high revenue automatically means a high profit margin. In fact, revenue refers to the total income generated from sales, while profit is calculated after deducting the cost of goods sold (COGS) and operating expenses, which include fixed costs and variable costs. Therefore, high revenue does not necessarily translate into high profits, as businesses also incur operating expenses beyond the cost of producing their goods.

Diyah also highlighted four key aspects that entrepreneurs need to pay attention to: separating personal and business finances, strengthening branding and building trust, avoiding consumer debt, and understanding the difference between revenue and profit.

Furthermore, Diyah emphasized the importance of understanding the three types of financial statements used in business. For beginners, she recommended learning about cash flow statements and income statements first before moving on to the more complex balance sheet. At the end of the session, she reiterated the importance of understanding these two statements to assess a business’s financial health. Ultimately, business management skills need to be complemented by sound financial management skills.

Arabic Literature Students Present Social Solutions Through Sociopreneurship Project 

Berita (inggris)Student Activity Tuesday, 3 November 2026

YOGYAKARTA – The Entrepreneurship course held on Monday, October 12, 2026, became a platform for Arabic Literature students to showcase their creativity through sociopreneurship project presentations. During the event, students presented socially oriented business ideas and strategies that focused not only on financial profit but also on creating meaningful benefits for society. Through group presentations, each team explained the background of their ideas, the social issues they sought to address, and their strategies for developing sustainable businesses. Various innovative ideas were introduced to address community issues by combining business principles with social empowerment.

The concept of sociopreneurship emphasizes the importance of creating sustainable positive impacts. The success of a project is measured not merely by its financial potential but also by how effectively it addresses community needs and empowers people. In addition to serving as a platform for presenting ideas, the presentation session also provided an opportunity for discussion and the exchange of perspectives among groups. Students developed their communication and teamwork skills while learning to analyze challenges and opportunities in designing social business models. The event concluded with an award presentation to the best team in recognition of their creativity in developing their project. This recognition is expected to motivate students to continue generating ideas that create positive social impacts.

Through this learning experience, the Entrepreneurship course encourages students to look beyond profit and become more aware of social and environmental issues in their surroundings. Ideas developed in the classroom are expected to continue growing into concrete solutions that bring widespread benefits to society.

Exploring Middle Eastern Culture, Students of the Arabic Gastronomy Course Hold a Cooking Session for Samosa and Isy Baladi

Berita (inggris)Student Activity Wednesday, 21 October 2026

YOGYAKARTA – Students enrolled in the Arabic Gastronomy course held a joint cooking practice at the Soegondo Building Hallway on Thursday, October 15, 2026. This event served as a hands-on opportunity to apply theories of Middle Eastern culinary culture in practice.

The two main dishes prepared during this practical session were samosa and isy baladi. Samosa a triangular pastry filled with spiced meat, vegetables, or cheese reflects the footprint of cultural acculturation along ancient trade routes. Meanwhile, isy baladi, a traditional Egyptian baked wheat flatbread, was presented not only as a staple food, but also as a symbol of food security and social identity deeply rooted for thousands of years.

In addition to honing teamwork, this activity aimed to deepen students’ understanding of spice characteristics and the philosophical values behind Arabic culinary traditions. This interactive practice not only enriched students’ academic literacy in international gastronomy, but also opened up entrepreneurial perspectives on authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.
