Urban sustainability presents considerable challenges, especially in the management of energy and wastewater treatment systems. Rapid urbanization intensifies the demand for water and energy, leading to increased pressure on existing infrastructure and resources. Wastewater management is essential for urban water sustainability, as untreated wastewater poses significant environmental and health risks. Moreover, wastewater treatment processes are energy-intensive, complicating the balance between environmental goals and energy consumption. To address these challenges, integrating decentralized renewable energy systems, such as solar, biogas, and wind, with wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) offers a promising solution. This integration can reduce reliance on centralized power grids, enhance energy self-sufficiency, and promote sustainability. The application of Circular Economy principles, which emphasize resource recovery and system decentralization, is key to this integration. However, technological, economic, and regulatory barriers exist, limiting widespread adoption. This study explores the feasibility of coupling renewable energy with WWTPs, focusing on energy flow simulations, environmental impacts, and economic evaluations. The results indicate that integrating renewable energy can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower operational costs, and improve the resilience of urban water systems, making it a viable option for sustainable urban development.

Body composition refers to the distribution of fat, muscle, bone, and other tissues in the human body, which is often expressed as a percentage of total body weight consisting of fat mass and lean body mass. Obesity, characterized by excess fat in adipose tissue, poses a significant health risk and is increasing in countries with low and medium mortality rates, especially in metropolitan areas. Factors contributing to this include genetics, a lack of physical activity, socioeconomic status, unhealthy eating patterns, psychosocial factors, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Excess body fat significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality. Although optimal body fat levels vary, excess fat increases the risk of health issues such as joint problems and cardiovascular disease. People widely use bioimpedance analysis (BIA), an efficient, non-invasive method, to assess nutritional status and body composition. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) method, which is carried out at PT. Narindo, North Jakarta, in the productive age population. The examination results showed that the average levels of total body fat, visceral fat, total subcutaneous fat, total muscle mass were 28.6%; 11%; 22.2%; 28.3%. Early detection of body composition is critical for assessing nutritional and health status as well as diagnosing disease, potentially reducing obesity-related morbidity and mortality.

The existence of financial literacy helps individuals make smarter purchases, for example by thinking about the needs that need to be met, the price of products, services and services provided. Good financial literacy facilitates thinking in making decisions, especially in the financial sector. Because in this case they are considered capable of reading or assessing and considering the current financial situation. Financial literacy is needed not only in personal life, but also in work, especially those that are closely related to financial activities. In the family itself, good financial literacy usually has to be carried out by the head of the family or other family members such as the mother. If the family lacks people who have good financial literacy, then the family's spending or consumption may not be commensurate with the income earned in the family, so it can be said that there is a lack of money to meet the family's living needs. This can also happen in social life. It could also be said that if we have good financial literacy, we cannot manage our expenses well.                                                     

Green energies are more adapted to the environment, and their production and production are less polluted. Moreover, since there is no end to this energy category, green energies are taking on an ever-increasing share of the world's energy supply system, even in countries with fossil fuels. The current study aims to examine the factors affecting green energy consumption in Group 7 countries using a table-based data approach (Panel data quantile regression) from 1996-2022. The study examined how financial impacts such as the Good Governance Index (GGI), Human Capital (MYS), Trade Openness (TO), Income (GDP), Inflation (INFL) and Non-Financial Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) are affected. Thus, assuming the stability of other factors, by an increase of one unit in GGI, MYS, TO, GDP, INFL, and GFCF, green energy consumption (GEC) increases between 0.24 and 0.59%, 2.46 to 7.12%, 0.98 to 1.53%, 0.73 to 1.03%, 0.42 to 0.62% and 1.07 to 1.73%. Given the positive and meaningful impact of the Good Governance Index and Human Capital on green energy consumption, it is proposed to double attention to the quality of laws and regulations, the rule of law, and the design and enforcement of laws in protecting the environment and developing more clean energies. The results can be an outstanding lesson for creating and developing countries.  

This study examines the influence of monetary policy, particularly interest rates, on economic stability in the TIMI countries (Thailand, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia). It underscores the vital role of interest rates in controlling inflation and stimulating economic growth. Utilizing a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model, the research analyzes the reciprocal relationships between crucial economic indicators such as GDP, CPI, exchange rates, consumption, interest rates, and trade balances from 2008 to 2022. For instance, adjustments in interest rates can influence investment levels, consumption patterns, and inflation rates, thereby affecting overall economic activity. The Granger causality tests indicate that short-term relationships between these variables are insignificant, but long-term interactions are evident. This supports the Johansen cointegration results, which confirm two cointegrated equations at the 5% significance level. The study emphasizes maintaining interest rate stability for sustainable economic growth and price stability. It highlights that fluctuations in interest rates, influenced by global economic conditions and domestic economic policies, play a crucial role in the economic performance of TIMI countries. Recommendations for central banCM include implementing responsive and adaptive interest rate policies to manage inflation, foster economic growth, and maintain exchange rate stability. This approach is essential for addressing disparities in income, education, healthcare, and technology access, which are critical for equitable economic development. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of a nuanced understanding of monetary policy's impact on economic stability and the need for coordinated efforts between fiscal and monetary authorities to achieve long-term

In Indonesia, there are two types of motorcycle transmissions: manual and automatic. Users prefer automatic transmissions due to convenience and fuel efficiency. Automatic transmissions, such as CVT, CVT utilizes force for smooth and continuous gear ratio changes. CVT has disadvantages because unlike manual motors that have greater torque, especially on motorbikes that are three years old or more, such as poor acceleration at low to medium revolutions and wasteful fuel. This study aims to determine how the effect of adding spring plate and roller mass variations on torque and fuel consumption. This research uses a quantitative method with an experimental approach, by testing the independent variable to determine the results of the dependent variable. The result of this research is the use of lighter rollers can increase fuel consumption but the torque is getting smaller, because the use of lighter rollers has a fast rotation response so that the crankshaft in rotating the roller housing pulley is also lighter so it does not require a lot of fuel. While the use of heavier rollers coupled with spring plates also increases torque because the displacement ratio is faster, the torsional moment will be large which causes the torque to increase.
