The purpose of this study is to determine the magnitude of the influence of inflation and interest rates on economic growth in Kupang City. The research used is quantitative research analyzed using the help of the SPSS (statistical package for the social sciences) time series data software program. The data collection for this study is secondary data from the East Nusa Tenggara Central Statistics Agency and Bank Indonesia in 2013-2022 in the form of quarters (time series) in NTT Province. The results of the study show that the results of the regression analysis, inflation does not have a significant effect on economic growth in Kupang City during the 2013-2022 period. The results of the partial test (t-test) show that changes in interest rates play a role in determining the dynamics of economic growth, where lower interest rates tend to encourage increased investment and consumption, while higher interest rates have the potential to restrain economic activity because they increase borrowing costs. The results of the simultaneous test (F test), inflation and interest rates have a significance value of less than 0.05, which means that both variables simultaneously play a role in determining economic growth. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 35.11% indicates that only a small portion of the variation in economic growth can be explained by inflation and interest rates. The remaining 64.89% is influenced by other factors outside the model, such as investment levels, government spending, unemployment rates, fiscal policies, and external factors such as global commodity prices and national economic conditions.

The contemporary landscape of data management, marked by an unprecedented scale and velocity of data, has spurred the widespread adoption of NoSQL databases, prioritizing scalability and performance over traditional relational constraints. While offering significant flexibility, this paradigm shift introduces complex cybersecurity challenges, notably query injection vulnerabilities, which are consistently ranked among the top web application security risks. Redis, a leading in-memory key-value store powering critical infrastructure globally, presents a unique security profile due to its architectural design and features like Lua scripting. Despite its prevalence, a comprehensive academic evaluation of Redis injection attack vectors remains understudied. This study addresses this gap by systematically evaluating command and Lua script injection vulnerabilities in Redis version 7.4.1 across controlled configurations: default, password-protected, and ACL-secured environments. We quantify vulnerability risk and empirically validate mitigation strategies by employing a Dockerized testing framework, Python-driven exploit simulations, and CVSS v3.1 scoring. Our findings reveal critical weaknesses in default and permissively configured environments and demonstrate that restrictive Access Control Lists (ACLs), adhering to the principle of least privilege, provide complete mitigation against the specific injection vectors evaluated in our controlled experimental setup. We propose a Redis-specific threat taxonomy and provide empirically validated recommendations for securing Redis deployments, emphasizing layered security controls and proper ACL implementation. This research contributes the first systematic evaluation of modern Redis injection vulnerabilities and highlights the critical importance of security-conscious configurations to protect vital data infrastructure.
