This study analyzes the human development index, regional minimum wage, and labor force participation rate on poverty in North Sumatra in 2001-2023. The data used is secondary data in the form of time series obtained from the publication of the Central Bureau of Statistics. The analysis method used is multiple regression with E-Views software. The results showed that the human development index has no effect, the regional minimum wage has a negative effect and the labor force participation rate has a negative and significant effect on poverty, which indicates that an increase in the human development index tends to not affect poverty because it has a positive value. In contrast, the regional minimum wage and labor force participation rate show a negative and significant effect on poverty. Simultaneously, the human development index, regional minimum wage and labor force participation rate have a significant effect on poverty.

Immunization is one of the important disease prevention efforts for toddlers. Complete immunization in toddlers can prevent various diseases that can be high-risk for children's health, such as diphtheria, polio, hepatitis, and measles. However, the level of complete immunization coverage in toddlers in Indonesia, including in the working area of ​​the UPTD Sawang Health Center, North Aceh Regency, is still a challenge. This study aims to identify factors that influence the implementation of complete immunization in toddlers in the area. The method used in this study is quantitative research with a descriptive approach. The research sample consisted of parents or caregivers of toddlers in the working area of ​​the UPTD Sawang Health Center, with a total of 100 respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire that included factors such as parental knowledge, attitudes, accessibility of health services, and family socio-economic factors. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics. The results of the study showed that there were several factors that influenced complete immunization in toddlers, namely parental knowledge about the importance of immunization, parental attitudes towards immunization, accessibility to health facilities, and parental education levels. Socioeconomic factors, such as family income and parental occupation, also played an important role in the success of complete immunization. In addition, there was a significant influence between the distance from the house to health facilities on the level of immunization coverage. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that efforts to increase the coverage of complete immunization in toddlers in the Sawang Health Center UPTD area need to consider these factors.

This study set out to investigate the connection between Nigerian deposit money banks' financial success and their dividend policies. This is accomplished by reviewing existing theoretical and empirical the signaling hypothesis served as the foundation for the study and the creation of literature. The Financial Statements and Annual Reports of 18 (18) Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria for the years 2015–2019 provided the data for this study, which used a longitudinal survey research approach. The arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, and the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) regression technique were used to analyze the data produced for this study using both descriptive and inferential statistics. E-Views version 10 was used to calculate these. The study's conclusions showed that dividend policies had a mixed impact on the financial performance of Nigerian deposit money institutions. However, the dividend pay-out ratio significantly and negatively correlates with financial performance (return on equity), dividend yield has no discernible impact on the financial performance (ROE) of Nigerian deposit money institutions. The greatest African economy is that of Nigeria, which was rated as Determining the percentage of dividend payments that would improve financial performance in terms of return on equity requires management of deposit money banks to have a strong and sound dividend policy in place. They should also put in more effort to raise dividend yield and improve its influence on the financial performance (return on equity) of deposit money banks in Nigeria.

This research focuses on exchange rate fluctuations in Indonesia during the period of 2005 to 2023, influenced by various economic factors, primarily monetary policy and international trade dynamics. Exchange rate instability is a major concern because it can impact the national economy, including export competitiveness and macroeconomic stability. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to dissect the relationship between interest rates, export values, and wide money as it pertains to currency swings.  This study takes a quantitative approach by analyzing the relationship between the dependent and independent variables via multiple linear regression.  World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and Statistics Indonesia yearly time series data from 2005 to 2023 is used.  The findings show that broad money, interest rates, and export values significantly impact the swings in the Indonesian currency.  According to the findings of the multiple linear regression analysis, Interest rates and broad money have a positive and statistically significant effect on changes in exchange rates, but export values have a negative and statistically significant effect. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of appropriate interest rate policies and balanced broad money management to maintain exchange rate stability. Future researchers are advised to include global variables and more complex analysis methods.

This study aims to analyze the effect of body angle variations on propulsion force, drag coefficient, and freestyle swimming performance using a biomechanical approach. Movement efficiency in swimming plays a crucial role in improving athlete performance. This study employed a quantitative experimental design with university or club-level swimmers with at least three years of training experience as subjects. Subjects were selected through purposive sampling with the criteria of being healthy, familiar with freestyle techniques, and willing to follow the research procedures. The instruments used included 3D motion capture to record body angles and movement coordination, force sensors to measure propulsion force and drag coefficient, and a timekeeping system to calculate average speed. The body angle variations tested were 0°, 15°, and 30°, each with three replications. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the mean, standard deviation, and data distribution, and comparative statistics (ANOVA or paired t-test) to compare performance between angle variations. The results showed that a 15° body angle provided optimal performance, with increased average speed and propulsion efficiency compared to 0° and 30° body angles. These findings confirm that body angle regulation plays a crucial role in reducing water resistance and increasing propulsion. The study concluded that a 15° body angle is the ideal position for improving freestyle swimming performance. Further research is recommended to expand the number of subjects, explore variations in other swimming strokes, and integrate physiological data for more comprehensive results.

This study aims to examine the influence of motivation and work environment on employee performance at the Plantation Office of Fakfak Regency. A quantitative structural approach was used with a sample of 50 employees selected purposively. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via SmartPLS 3.8. The results showed that work motivation (80.55%), work environment (86.8%), and employee performance (79.91%) were all rated as good. Partial tests revealed that motivation significantly influenced performance (t = 2.341; p = 0.024), as did the work environment (t = 3.694; p = 0.001). Simultaneous testing using ANOVA produced an F value of 39.120 with a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant combined effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.700, suggesting that 70% of the variance in employee performance is explained by motivation and work environment, while the remaining 30% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. It is recommended that the Plantation Office of Fakfak Regency improve motivation and work conditions to further enhance employee performance.
