This research purposed to analyze the financial performance of PT. Indo-Rama Synthetics Tbk. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with financial reports as a data source to examine financial performance based on profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, activity ratios and solvency ratios. The research examines financial performance starting from 2020 to 2022 with financial reports obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that in the profitability assessment only the return on assets ratio had reached the efficient criteria, while the net profit margin and return on equity ratios were considered inefficient. In assessing liquidity, the current ratio and quick ratio are not yet liquid. Activity assessment through inventory ratios, fixed asset turnover and total asset turnover is considered to have not met the efficient level each year. Meanwhile, in the solvency assessment, it was found that the overall ratios used, namely the debt to asset ratio and the debt to equity ratio, met good criteria.

Global climate change has become a serious challenge that affects various aspects of life, including the field of architecture, especially in tropical climates. Increasing environmental temperatures and changing weather patterns have a significant impact on the thermal comfort and energy efficiency of buildings. This article aims to explain strategies for applying bioclimatic architectural principles as design solutions that are responsive to local climate conditions. Through systematic literature analysis, it was found that architectural design that considers climatic factors can increase comfort for occupants and reduce dependence on artificial lighting and lighting systems. This article also discusses various strategies for applying bioclimatic principles, such as the placement of the building's core orientation, window openings, balconies, transitional spaces, wall design, landscape relationships, passive shading, and heat insulation on the floor, where the application of these strategies can help create a more beautiful building. sustainable and energy efficient. Therefore, the application of bioclimatic architecture is very important to create buildings that can adapt well and efficiently in tropical areas.  

Russiva and Crookes proposed the widely used, highly efficient, robust Q-score parameter scale in their 1993 work, and they approximated it using "fast" Huber's M-scores. Shown What proposed us M-scores are highly efficient and robust on arbitrary nom distributions, thanks to correct choice parameter approximations. We pay particular attention to the Cauchy divisions  and cases of Gaussian distribution . Important terms: Cauchy's law, parameter scale, robustness, and Gaussian distribution With the Q-estimate as a foundation, the M-estimates of the scale parameter are very efficient and robust. Rousseeuw and Croux (1993) proposed the scale parameter of Q-estimate, which is often used with fast Huber M-estimates, and we were able to get rather close to it. By meticulously choosing the approximation parameters, we proved that the proposed M-estimates are efficient and resilient for any data distribution. In order to measure the robustness and efficiency of scale M estimates , we calculated their asymptotic variances; breakdown points , and influence functions. The Cauchy and Gaussian distributions were our main focus. Notably, the proposed robust estimate is consistent the Maximum likelihood estimation for the Cauchy distribution. Last but not least, these robust and efficient scale estimates need three to four times less computing time than their comparable Q-estimates. The research provides robust and efficient solutions for estimating distribution parameters more quickly and with less complexity, making them suitable for applications requiring fast and accurate computations.

This study aims to discuss the concept of administration and management in general, and to view it from the perspective of the Qur'an. By understanding the principles of Qur'anic management, it is hoped that these values ​​can be applied in everyday life, so that a balance is created between achieving worldly and hereafter goals. In addition, this paper also explores how administration and management in Islam are not only oriented towards efficiency, but also on spiritual values ​​that bring benefits to life in the world and the hereafter. The research methodology used in this study is descriptive qualitative research using the library research method. Administration is a joint effort process involving all parties to realize common goals and ideals. The term management actually refers to the process of implementing activities that are completed efficiently with and through the use of others. In the Qur'an, the term management uses yudabbiru, which means organizing, managing, engineering, implementing, taking care of well. Islamic management can be viewed from two sides, namely management as a science and management as an activity. As a science, management is seen as one of the general sciences that was born based on empirical facts that are not related to any values, civilizations (hadharah). However, as an activity, management is seen as a deed that will be held accountable before Allah SWT.

Over time, land use change has become more prevalent, which has resulted in the reduction of green open land, especially in urban areas. As a result, biodiversity is decreasing.

Rice pest control is one of the main challenges in the agricultural sector in Indonesia. Pests such as planthoppers, stem borers, and rats can cause significant losses to crop yields. Currently, many farmers have difficulty identifying pest types and how to control them quickly and effectively. Therefore, a technological solution is needed that can detect pests directly and provide recommendations for action. This study aims to design an Android-based application that is able to detect types of rice plant pests using visual images and provide recommendations for handling. This application is designed using digital image processing methods and is supported by a large pest database. This technology is expected to be an efficient and practical solution for farmers. The research method used in developing this application is a qualitative method, involving interviews with farmers, agronomists, and data collection related to pests and their damage patterns. This application utilizes AI-based pattern recognition technology to detect pests through photos taken directly by farmers. The results of the study showed that this application was able to detect several types of major pests with an accuracy of up to 85%. In addition, this application provides recommendations for handling steps based on guidelines from the Ministry of Agriculture. The trial showed that this application can help farmers identify pests faster than manual methods. The main contribution of this research is to create a technology-based solution to agricultural problems in Indonesia, especially in the rice sector. With this application, farmers can increase their yields through early identification and proper pest management. In future implementations, this application will continue to be developed to detect additional pests and expand its database. It is hoped that this application can be an important tool in supporting smart farming in Indonesia.
