Regional development is a key strategy for enhancing community welfare. However, the dynamics of growth in each region are shaped by distinct characteristics of rural and urban areas. Rural areas face unique challenges in adapting to changing times, given their economic structures are largely dominated by agriculture and limited infrastructure. In contrast, cities tend to have more diversified economies, supported by industry, services, and better access to education and technology. The socio-economic disparities between rural and urban areas pose a significant challenge in regional development. The quality of life for communities in both regions is often affected by disparities in income, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. Ongoing modernization and urbanization lead to transformations in social and economic structures in cities and rural areas. A comparative socio-economic analysis of rural and urban areas can provide valuable insights into how these differences impact regional development strategies. This study can also inform policies aimed at achieving balanced development between rural and urban areas, thereby promoting more equitable distribution of community welfare

This study aims to determine the criminal act of verbal sexual harassment from the perspective of the community in the XII hamlet, gg. Mentimun 19, Percut Sei Tuan and students of the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra. This study uses an empirical legal method. This study also explains the laws governing the criminal act of verbal sexual harassment with the sanctions received by the perpetrators. In this study, data was obtained that the general public aged 40 years and over considered verbal sexual harassment not a serious matter that must be followed up by law in accordance with applicable laws, while students and people aged 20-30 years considered verbal harassment as a criminal act of harassment that must be followed up with legal sanctions in accordance with applicable laws. One of the factors causing cases of sexual violence is gender inequality in society. Women are often targeted because their position is not equal to men. Thus, gender equality is not only a basic right, but can be the key to changing the dynamics of sexual violence. For this reason, important steps are needed to realize gender equality and justice as an effort to prevent sexual violence.

This study aimed to explore the impact of classical piano music on emotional responses among professional pianists compared to non-professionals. The piano, known for its extensive pitch range and dynamic versatility, serves as a pivotal instrument in both classical and popular music. Previous research has examined how music influences individual’s styles and behaviors. In our investigation, we analyzed electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to assess emotional responses in both groups, employing coherence measures. Listening tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of pitch and dynamics on emotional characteristics. Findings revealed that all ten emotional categories were significantly influenced by variations in pitch and dynamics. Specifically, emotions such as Happy, Romantic, Comic, Calm, Mysterious, and Shy generally increased with pitch, though a decline was observed at the highest pitches. Conversely, Heroic, Angry, and Sad emotions tended to decrease with rising pitch levels, while Scary emotions were pronounced at extreme low and high pitches. Regarding dynamics, emotions like Heroic, Comic, Angry, and Scary were more intense with loud notes, whereas Romantic, Calm, Mysterious, Shy, and Sad emotions were enhanced with softer notes. Notably, the emotion Happy showed no sensitivity to dynamic changes. These results provide valuable insights into the quantification of emotional characteristics associated with piano music.

This study aims to analyze the effect of water quality on the productivity of bamboo lobsters (Panulirus versicolor) cultivated in a floating net cage sistem (KJA) in the waters of Sinabang Bay, Simeulue Regency. Water quality is one of the main environmental factors that determines the success of marine cultivation, especially for high-value species such as bamboo lobsters. Water quality parameters observed in this study included temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and ammonia levels. Measurements were carried out periodically during the 90-day cultivation period to capture environmental dynamics that affect the biological performance of lobsters. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experimental design with three treatments based on different cultivation locations that have variations in natural water quality, each with three replications. The results showed that optimal water quality significantly affected the increase in bamboo lobster productivity, as indicated by the parameters of the specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion efficiency (FCR), and survival rate (SR). The location with the best water quality (P1), which had high DO and low ammonia levels, recorded a daily SGR of 1.82%, a FCR of 1.6, and a SR of 90%. Conversely, the location with low water quality (P3) showed significantly decreased biological performance, with suboptimal SGR, FCR, and SR, primarily due to low dissolved oxygen and high levels of toxic ammonia. These findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring and management of water quality in marine cage sistems to support optimal lobster growth and survival. Therefore, managing aquatic environmental quality is key to increasing mariculture productivity and ensuring the sustainability of fishery resources in coastal areas.
