Digital transformation in Indonesia has increased dependence on digital database systems, so that personal data protection has become a crucial issue. This research aims to analyze the urgency of protecting personal data in digital database systems in Indonesia from regulatory, ethical and technical strategy aspects. The method used is literature study and document analysis of regulations, ethical practices and data protection technology. The research results show that even though Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (UU PDP) has been passed, its implementation still faces challenges in the form of low digital literacy, weak law enforcement, and not yet optimal monitoring infrastructure. Additionally, implementing ethical principles and technical strategies, such as encryption, access control, and privacy by design, is critical to strengthening data security. This research concludes that effective personal data protection can only be realized through synergy between strong regulations, the application of digital ethics, and adequate technical strategies, in order to safeguard individual privacy rights in the digital era.

This study aims to analyze violations of accounting professional ethics at PT Indofarma Tbk, a state-owned pharmaceutical company in Indonesia. The case gained public attention following an investigative audit report by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK), which revealed financial statement manipulation causing state losses amounting to IDR 371.83 billion.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, requiring early and accurate diagnosis to reduce mortality. This study proposes a hybrid classification pipeline that integrates Hybrid Statistical Feature Selection (HSFS) with unsupervised LSTM-guided feature extraction for breast cancer detection using the Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) dataset. Initially, 20 features were selected using HSFS based on Mutual Information, Chi-square, and Pearson Correlation. To address class imbalance, the training set was balanced using the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE). Subsequently, an LSTM encoder extracted non-linear latent features from the selected features. A fusion strategy was applied by concatenating the statistical and latent features, followed by re-selection of the top 30 features. The final classification was performed using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with RBF kernel and evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation and a held-out test set. Experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved an average training accuracy of 98.13%, F1-score of 98.13%, and AUC-ROC of 99.55%. On the held-out test set, the model reached an accuracy of 99.30%, precision of 100%, and F1-score of 99.05%, with an AUC-ROC of 0.9973. The proposed pipeline demonstrates improved generalization and interpretability compared to existing methods such as LightGBM-PSO, DHH-GRU, and ensemble deep networks. These results highlight the effectiveness of combining statistical selection and LSTM-based latent feature encoding in a balanced classification framework.

This article examines the concept of wisdom in Proverbs 1:7 as an ethical guideline for the growth of Christian faith. In the midst of modern challenges such as moral relativism, secularization, and the crisis of spiritual authority, a re-understanding of Biblical wisdom becomes a significant theological urgency. Through a hermeneutical-theological approach, this study integrates exegesis of the text of Proverbs 1:7 with contextual analysis and ethical reflection to show that the “fear of the LORD” is the epistemological and moral foundation of the believer's life. Wisdom, in the biblical sense, functions not only as a rational faculty, but also as a divine gift that shapes character, deepens relationship with God, and enables believers to live ethically in society. The results show that the growth of true Christian faith is reflected in an active spirituality and ethical actions that are rooted in a God-fearing relationship. Thus, Proverbs 1:7 is not only a theological basis, but also relevant as a practical principle in shaping an authentic and transformative Christian life in the contemporary era.
