The government plans to increase the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate by 1%, from 11% to 12% in 2025. This policy has certainly triggered various reactions in society, from support to concern, especially regarding its impact on the prices of basic necessities and people's purchasing power. Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax levied on the consumption of goods and services within the Customs Area, imposed at each stage of production and distribution. VAT collected by the central government applies to the purchase and sale of certain goods and services, such as motor vehicles, houses, and internet services, which will be subject to the 12% VAT rate. The Minister of Finance emphasized that the increase in VAT rates does not apply to people's basic needs.  Basic necessities, as well as critical services like healthcare and public education, will remain exempt from VAT or will be subject to lower rates. Secretary of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Susiwijono Moegiarso, said that the technical details of implementing 12 percent VAT will be contained in the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) which is currently being drafted by the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu). Will this policy become an obstacle to national economic growth, especially in the public purchasing power sector? What are the impacts on purchasing power, the business world and economic recovery? What are the government's steps to reduce the negative impacts of this policy

The theme of God's provision in limitations is highly relevant to theology students, who often face various challenges in their academic and spiritual journeys. The story in 2 Kings 4:42-44, where the prophet Elisha distributes twenty barley loaves to a hundred people, provides a powerful illustration of how God can turn limitations into blessings. Theology students often feel inexperienced and limited in resources to serve the community, but Elisha's example teaches that intention and trust in God are far more important than the amount of resources one has. Limitations can also trigger a crisis of faith, especially when the demands of academics and daily life increase. Therefore, it is important for students to realize that limitations are not obstacles to God, but opportunities to experience His love and power. This paper aims to explore how God's provision in limitations can be the basis for learning faith that shapes the character and ministry of theology students. By understanding this concept, it is hoped that students can serve sincerely and trust in God in every aspect of their lives.

This study applies a qualitative research method with an intersectionality approach to analyze Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which explores issues related to race, gender, and class in the context of post-civil war America. The main focus of this research is how racial, gender, and class identities interact with each other in shaping the experiences of the characters, specifically Huck, a white boy from the lower class, and Jim, an escaped African-American slave. Through the analysis of their cross-racial relationship, this study highlights the complex power dynamics, where Jim is trapped in a racial and class hierarchy, while Huck struggles against social pressure from female authority figures representing patriarchy. The findings of this study suggest that character identities are shaped by the intersection of multiple factors, providing a deeper understanding of the challenges faced in maintaining or resisting oppressive systems of power. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a classic novel by Mark Twain, is a clear example of how literary works that criticize racial injustice can be misinterpreted and censored. Twain presents a scathing satire of American society, exposing its hypocrisy and failure to realize the promised values of equality. As such, the deep meanings contained within are buried under layers of superficial and biased interpretations.

This study aims to examine the impact of a 6-phase design using an asymmetrical dual 3-phase design on the torque and speed of an induction motor, where the newly designed motor still uses a 3-phase power source. The research compares the performance of a conventional 3-phase induction motor with that of an asymmetrical 6-phase induction motor design, focusing on torque and speed. This motor is only designed in terms of its windings, so the motor's position remains unchanged. The 3-phase system applied to the 6-phase induction motor design ensures that the 6-phase motor operates within a 3-phase system. The study also explores performance improvements, particularly in torque and speed, by redesigning the windings of a 3-phase induction motor into an asymmetrical 6-phase motor. The induction motor used in this research has the following specifications: 3-phase, 2 A, 1390 RPM, 50Hz, 0.75 kW, and 380Y. The study aims to understand the effects of the asymmetrical 6-phase induction motor design, particularly regarding torque and speed. The results show that the torque and speed of the two motors differ due to the asymmetrical 6-phase winding design. In a conventional 3-phase induction motor, the winding coil layer distance is 120°, whereas, in the asymmetrical 6-phase induction motor, the distance between the first and second layers is 30°. Based on this analysis, the asymmetrical 6-phase induction motor design demonstrates better performance compared to the conventional 3-phase induction motor.

This Abstract Outlines The Historical Role Of The Christian Church In Governance, Especially In The Western World. From Its Early Development, The Church Wielded Considerable Influence Over Social And Political Affairs, Particularly After Christianity Became The Official Religion Of The Roman Empire In The 4th Century. Beyond Its Religious Duties, The Church Served As A Powerful Social, Moral, And Legal Authority In Medieval Europe. Through Canon Law, It Governed Various Facets Of Societal Life, Including Marriage, Inheritance, And Social Norms, And Validated The Power Of Rulers Through The “Divine Right” Doctrine. However, The Protestant Reformation Of The 16th Century Marked A Major Shift, Promoting A Separation Of Church And State That Influenced The Rise Of Secular Governance Systems. The Protestant Church Championed Religious Freedom And Individual Autonomy, Foundations For Modern Pluralism And Democracy. In The Contemporary Era, While The Church’s Formal Governance Role Has Declined, It Remains A Moral Voice, Particularly On Social Issues, Justice, And Human Rights. This Study Concludes That The Church's Role In Governance Has Evolved From A Political And Legal Authority To A More Inclusive Moral And Social Role In A Progressively Secular Society.

This study aims to analyze waste management in Indonesia from 2001 to 2022, and identify challenges and solutions that can be implemented to improve the effectiveness of waste management. Waste is a major problem affecting the environment and public health, with around 34.29% of waste in Indonesia not being managed properly. This research uses a descriptive approach by analyzing data related to policies, infrastructure, and community participation in waste management. The results showed that although there are regulations governing waste management, the main challenges faced are low public awareness and limited waste management infrastructure in many regions. The research also found that collaboration between the government, communities and the private sector is crucial in creating sustainable solutions. In addition, the development of environmentally friendly waste management technologies, such as Waste Power Plants (PLTSa), can be an innovative solution to reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment. This research suggests the need to strengthen regulations, increase public awareness, and develop more efficient and environmentally friendly waste management technologies.

This study aims to analyze the potential for developing Wind Power Plants (PLTB) in Gorontalo Province, focusing on wind speed in several strategic locations. The consistent and relatively high wind speeds in coastal and lowland areas of Gorontalo make the region highly suitable for developing wind energy as a renewable energy source. This research utilizes meteorological data to measure wind speed at four locations: Batudaa Pantai 1, Batudaa Pantai 2, Kwandang, and Sumalata. The analysis reveals that wind speeds range from 6.73 m/s to 7.08 m/s, with electricity generation capacity per turbine ranging from 146 kW to 170 kW. The total electricity capacity that can be generated by 30 turbines across these locations is 18.9 MW. This potential provides a significant contribution to meeting renewable energy needs in Gorontalo and Indonesia in general. However, the development of PLTB in this area requires further consideration of technical, economic, social, and regulatory aspects. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to assess the technical and economic viability, as well as the social and economic impacts on local communities. Additionally, government support in terms of policy and fiscal incentives will expedite the development of PLTB in Gorontalo, which in turn can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting sustainable energy in the future.
