An important digital image processing is image segmentation, which separates objects from the background for further analysis. One segmentation technique is edge detection, which looks for boundaries between areas of different brightness. This article compares four edge detection methods: Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, and Canny. The results show that, despite requiring more complex computations, Canny's method produces the sharpest and best connected edges; Sobel and Prewitt's method, on the other hand, is faster and simpler than Roberts' method, but is less effective in dealing with noise and often produces edges that are not connected to the plane. The choice of edge detection method depends on the application. Sobel and Prewitt are good for speed and stability, and Roberts is suitable for fast processing of images with minimal noise.

This study examines the impact of audit lag, audit quality, prior audit opinion, opinion shopping, and audit client tenure on the going concern audit opinion of Consumer & Cyclical sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2021–2023. A going concern audit opinion reflects the auditor's concerns about a company's ability to sustain operations in the future. The population consists of 163 companies, with 103 selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 309 data points over three years. This quantitative research relies on secondary data from independent audit reports available on the IDX. Logistic regression analysis, performed using SPSS 23.0, reveals that audit quality significantly and negatively influences the likelihood of a going concern audit opinion and prior audit opinions have a significant positive impact. Conversely, audit lag, opinion shopping, and audit client tenure do not significantly affect going concern audit opinions. These findings provide insights for auditors, regulators, and stakeholders regarding factors that influence auditors’ assessments of a company’s financial stability in the Consumer & Cyclical sector.

This research investigates the impact of profitability, growth opportunities, and firm size on firm value in Indonesian property companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2016 to 2022. Using regression analysis and t-tests, the study finds that profitability significantly influences firm value, indicating that profitable firms tend to have higher market valuations. In contrast, growth opportunities do not exhibit a significant impact on firm value, suggesting that investors prioritize current profitability over future growth potential in their valuation assessments.

Therefore, asabiyah is not just an abstract concept, but also has a strong and real influence on the social and political dynamics of society and the people. Ibn Khaldun's work remains an important source of learning in both Western and Eastern countries to this day.

The illegal arms trade is a serious threat to global stability and human security. These practices not only exacerbate armed conflicts and violence, but also threaten the national security of various countries, create regional instability, and increase the risk of terrorism and transnational crime. To respond to this challenge, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) was introduced in 2014 as an effort by the international community to combat the illegal arms trade. The ATT aims to regulate the international trade in conventional arms, prevent and eliminate illegal arms transfers, and ensure that the arms trade is conducted responsibly and transparently. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the ATT regime in reducing the spread of illegal weapons globally by analyzing the impact of ATT implementation on the flow of illegal weapons. The research design used for this paper is a desk research method with journal reading sources and websites (online). We use the theory of Compliance Regime Effectiveness and the concept of Ex-Post Facto to analyze. The results show that the ATT has contributed to strengthening the regulation of the arms trade through increased transparency and accountability among member states.

Unemployment and inflation are two main issues that affect economic and social stability in Gorontalo Regency. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence unemployment and inflation rates in the region. Qualitative research methods were used by conducting in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, including workers, entrepreneurs and district governments. The results of the analysis show that factors such as lack of workforce skills, lack of available jobs, rising production costs, and fluctuations in commodity prices contribute to high levels of unemployment and inflation. Evaluation of the limitations of previous studies reveals that the lack of in-depth analysis of the factors underlying these two issues is one of the main weaknesses. Based on the research results, it is recommended that local governments adopt a holistic and integrated approach in overcoming these two problems, by strengthening cross-sector collaboration and implementing effective policies in controlling inflation and increasing employment opportunities. Further research needs to be conducted to evaluate the impact of implementing the proposed policies over a longer period.

The banking industry has a crucial role in maintaining the balance of development and economic integrity of a country. Banks act as depositories and distributors of liquidity funds which are essential for the sustainability of economic activities. To carry out this function effectively, strict regulations and supervision are needed. As well as guaranteeing customer deposits to ensure healthy and sustainable bank operations. The financial crisis that occurred in 1997 in Indonesia showed structural weaknesses in the banking system, including ineffective supervision and weak bank management. The government responded with a Banking Guarantee program (Blanket Guarenteen), but this program faced various problems and was not continued. As a solution, the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) was formed through Law Number 24 of 2004, which aims to increase public confidence in the banking system and maintain financial system stability. This research aims to analyze the role of LPS in dealing with failed banks and the effectiveness of banking regulations in preventing future financial crises. The results of the analysis are expected to provide policy recommendations to strengthen the stability of the banking system.
