Stability testing is an important step in the development of pharmaceutical products. This testing must be conducted before the product is manufactured, whether on an industrial or non-industrial scale. Currently, liquid formulations are experiencing rapid development, one of which is suspension. Suspension itself is a liquid formulation that contains undissolved solid particles dispersed in the liquid phase. To assess the stability of suspension, various evaluations are performed such as organoleptic tests, sedimentation volume, redispersion, density, viscosity, particle size distribution, and pH measurement. Based on several studies, temperature is known to affect the stability of drugs, especially in suspension formulations. A study related to diclofenac suspension showed that at a temperature of 4°C, its stability reaches 96.3%, while at temperatures of 40°C and 60°C, there is a significant reduction in content, amounting to 89.58% and 85.17% respectively. Meanwhile, research on folic acid suspension revealed that the drug remains stable at temperatures of 4°C and 25°C, although on day 90 there was an increase in pH. Another study on cefuroxime axetil suspension showed that at a temperature of 20°C, its concentration was 87.68%, while at 5°C, it was higher at 92.35%. This research underscores the importance of considering temperature in the storage and formulation of pharmaceutical suspensions to maintain their effectiveness and stability.

However, the implementation of regulations still faces obstacles such as overlapping rules, weak policy evaluation, and low public legal literacy. These challenges demand reforms that are not only normative, but also strengthen institutional capacity and public participation. Information technology is also an important tool to support adaptive and responsive regulations to the needs of the community. Through a literature review and policy analysis, this article concludes that sustainable regulatory reform is needed to support better, efficient, and public service-oriented governance that is fair and accountable.

The development of the banking sector has led to an increase in the processing of customers' personal data, which can pose a risk of data misuse. One of the efforts to prevent this is the implementation of data minimisation, which emphasises that the personal data collected must be relevant, limited, and consistent with the legitimate purposes of processing, as well as transparent in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 of Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). This study employs a normative legal analysis method with a descriptive-analytical approach, incorporating transformative legal theory and privacy rights protection to examine the application of the data minimisation by banks. The findings indicate that excessive data collection practices still frequently occur and may violate customers' privacy rights. Therefore, banks are required to disclose the types and relevance of customer data, conduct regular mapping and evaluation of the data required, and implement selective and secure information technology systems. This implementation constitutes banks' compliance with data protection principles, particularly security and accountability. Additionally, active customer involvement and oversight by authorities are crucial factors in ensuring the effectiveness of data minimisation implementation in the banking sector.
