The Indonesian government has implemented various programs to improve public welfare; however, social assistance often misses its target, primarily due to a lack of accurate data. Sirapit Subdistrict, as a government institution, has access to important population data for policy development, particularly in the distribution of aid based on community welfare levels. Factors such as education, age, number of dependents, and income play a significant role in determining an individual's welfare. To address this issue, this study proposes the use of the Apriori method to analyze the factors affecting population welfare. The Apriori method is a data mining algorithm useful for discovering association patterns within a dataset. The study results show that with a support value of 3% and a confidence level of 100%, a pattern was found where residents with a high school education, 1-2 dependents, aged 35-45 years, earning Rp 500,000 - Rp 999,999, and with a low welfare level tend to work as laborers. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for formulating more targeted policies to improve community welfare in Sirapit Subdistrict.

Multinational companies in Indonesia, such as PT Gudang Garam Tbk, with complex financial statements, are interesting subjects for study. The company's capital ownership has increased annually, but this growth has not been accompanied by an increase in profits. The analysis is based on the financial statements of PT Gudang Garam Tbk for the period 2018-2022, using simple regression analysis. In this analysis, the dividend payout ratio, Return On Investment, and Return On Equity are considered as independent variables (x), while financial performance is the dependent variable (y). The study results show an increase in the dividend policy, but a decrease in ROI and ROE. Furthermore, the statistical analysis reveals that the dividend policy has a positive effect on financial performance, while ROI and ROE have a negative impact on financial performance. The findings indicate that the low profit growth is not due to high or low capital, but is instead caused by the return on investment (ROI) and return on capital (ROE) in the form of profit sharing. Hence, it is the return process that leads to declining or low profits.

This research aims to explore the relationship between language policy and national identity formation through a macro-linguistic lens. By employing qualitative case study methodology, the study analyzes the language policies of Canada, Belgium, and India, examining their impacts on social cohesion, cultural identity, and political stability.
