This study examines women's political communication in Maluku, focusing on the opportunities, challenges, and socio-cultural dynamics they face. In a region strongly influenced by patriarchal culture, women's roles in politics are often constrained by traditional social views and resistance to their involvement in a male-dominated political arena. The complexity of this issue is heightened by the perception that politics is a harsh and competitive domain. The aim of this research is to understand the communication strategies used by female politicians in Maluku and to identify the factors that influence their success or failure in the political field. This study employs a qualitative method, gathering data through in-depth interviews with female politicians, activists, and political observers in Maluku. The findings reveal that despite significant challenges, female politicians are able to leverage local values such as community solidarity and the adat-based social system to strengthen their political positions. Additionally, social networks and support from women's groups and political organizations play crucial roles in their political communication strategies. Women's roles in Maluku politics are not limited to verbal and non-verbal communication but also include their ability to integrate local values and utilize their central societal roles to promote political agendas. These findings provide a significant contribution to the study of women's political communication, particularly in contexts that have been underexplored in both national and international literature. The research concludes that women's political communication in Maluku is a complex adaptation to the local socio-cultural context.

Indonesia’s demographic bonus, marked by a large working-age population, offers significant potential to drive economic growth and innovation. However, despite this demographic advantage, Indonesia faces challenges in workforce quality, investment in research and development (R&D), and technological infrastructure. According to the Global Innovation Index 2023, Indonesia ranks 62nd out of 132 countries in innovation. The low proportion of skilled workers and the lack of formal training programs within companies exacerbate the innovation gap. To fully leverage its demographic potential, Indonesia needs comprehensive policy reforms in education and R&D, increased investment in human capital, and strengthened technological infrastructure. Without these improvements, the demographic bonus risks turning into a long-term burden rather than a catalyst for innovation and economic growth.

Tukad Bindu, a river tourism site in Denpasar, Bali, attracts a significant number of domestic tourists. However, it currently lacks a well-defined strategic plan for sustainable development, which is crucial for establishing it as a competitive tourist destination in Denpasar City. This study aims to identify the development potential along Tukad Bindu, Denpasar, Bali, using qualitative methods and SWOT analysis. The research primarily focuses on river revitalization as a catalyst for tourism, enhancing agricultural productivity, tourist attractions, and fostering active community involvement. The findings suggest that the SO (Strengths-Opportunities) strategy can be employed by maintaining river revitalization as a key driver for tourism while also boosting agricultural productivity and tourist attractions. The ST (Strengths-Threats) strategy involves empowering the community through active participation to mitigate potential threats. The WO (Weaknesses-Opportunities) strategy is facilitated by providing educational programs through the Denpasar City Environmental Service to the surrounding community. Meanwhile, the WT (Weaknesses-Threats) strategy underscores the importance of collaboration with the government and private sector to improve tourism promotion, develop cultural and agricultural tourism attractions, and ensure the sustainability of future programs.

Image denoising is a fundamental challenge in image processing, where the objective is to remove noise while preserving critical image features. Traditional denoising methods, such as Wavelet, Total Variation (TV) minimization, and Non-Local Means (NLM), often struggle to maintain the topological integrity of image features, leading to the loss of essential structures. This study proposes a Cubical Persistent Homology-Based Technique (CPHBT) that leverages persistence barcodes to identify significant topological features and reduce noise. The method selects filtration levels that preserve important features like loops and connected components. Applied to digit images, our method demonstrates superior performance, achieving a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 46.88 and a Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) of 0.99, outperforming TV (PSNR: 21.52, SSIM: 0.9812) and NLM (PSNR: 22.09, SSIM: 0.9822). These results confirm that cubical persistent homology offers an effective solution for image denoising by balancing noise reduction and preserving critical topological features, thus enhancing overall image quality.

This research aims to analyze the influence of liquidity, ownership structure, leverage, and Return On Assets (ROA) on dividend policy in companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) for the 2021-2023 period. Dividend policy is an important decision for a company in determining the allocation of profits that will be distributed to shareholders and those that will be retained for investment purposes.

Leverage, which indicates the use of debt in financing, and ROA, as an indicator of profitability, are also considered important factors influencing dividend policy. This research differs from previous research with the addition of leverage variables as well as differences in population, sample and research period. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence dividend policy and its implications for company value.
