Property price determination is a complex challenge influenced by various factors, thus requiring an effective method for accurate prediction to support investment decision-making. In the current digital era, conventional approaches are being replaced by data-driven and artificial intelligence methods, where Linear Regression remains a popular choice due to its simplicity and effectiveness in modeling linear relationships. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the physical characteristics of a house and its selling price, and to build an accurate predictive model using the Linear Regression algorithm. A quantitative method was used, focusing on Building Area , Number of Rooms, and Building Age  against the House Selling Price. Correlation analysis results show that Building Area has the strongest correlation (0.81) with price, while Building Age shows a negative correlation (-0.52). The Linear Regression model demonstrated very strong and stable performance. The model achieved an R² Score of 0.9396 on the testing data, meaning 93.96% of house price variability can be explained by the model. Furthermore, the low MAE of only 11.31 million rupiah indicates a small prediction error, and the consistency of R² scores confirms that the model does not suffer from overfitting. This study concludes that the Linear Regression model provides excellent, stable, and reliable prediction performance for projecting house selling prices

Retirement is an important event that marks the change from adult life to old life.   One of the things that need to be prepared in facing retirement is to reduce the workload as retirement approaches.  The sociological transition theory developed by William Bridges, known as the "Bridges Transition Model," underscores the importance of understanding and managing change as a transitional process involving three main stages: suffix, neutral, and beginning, The theory of social capital proposed by Pierre Bourdieu can provide relevant understanding related to the phenomenon of teacher adaptation in retirement. This theory emphasizes the importance of social networks and relationships in the lives of individuals, and considers social capital as a valuable resource.  The study used a qualitative approach, which showed that teachers who had strong social networks during their careers were more likely to have social support and resources that could help them in post-retirement adaptation.  Teachers who have strong social networks during their careers are better able to cope with the challenges of post-retirement adaptation.  On the other hand, the results also show that teachers who lack social capital or have a more limited social network will have difficulty in post-retirement adaptation.

The disturbing behavior of children, such as the behavior of children away from religious teachings, disrespecting their parents, dressing inappropriately, saying dirty words, smoking, and the most troubling thing is that children are now involved in criminal acts.

Basically, the relationship between children and their parents is an emotional and cognitive source for children. These relationships provide opportunities for children to explore the environment, including school and social life, and children's early relationships can serve as models for later relationships. This initial relationship begins when the child is born into the world, in fact it has started since the fetus was in the womb (Sutcliffe, 2002: 15).1. Furthermore, the role of Christian Religious Education is an effort made by educators continuously to equip students with sources of faith. Character formation is very important in the educational process which is a process of internalizing the values ​​of the Christian faith through education. So that the personality or noble character of students is formed through habituation that is constantly practiced, without stopping.

Language is the identity of a country or region that is used as the main communication tool. Everyone needs language when interacting, expressing ideas and opinions and other social relationships. In its development, the use of Indonesian began to shift to be replaced by the use of the language of teenagers, one of which was the use of the word bestie. The use of the word bestie is not only used by teenagers, not infrequently educated people also use this bestie language, both in oral and written form, both in formal and non-formal times, resulting in the use of language being bad and incorrect so that it will have an impact on the existence of the Indonesian language. It would be nice if we can use good and correct Indonesian, so that the existence of Indonesian as the national language is maintained. Indonesian is the language of unity, so as Indonesian people who care and respect their national language, we must maintain and help preserve our language, namely Indonesian. If we have used good and correct Indonesian, people around us will be infected directly.

This study was compiled to find out the results of an analysis of the factors that influence the human development index in DKI Jakarta Province for the 2017-2021 period. The human development index explains how people can access development outcomes in terms of income, health, education, and so on. HDI is based on three basic dimensions which include: 1. Long and healthy life (a long and healthy life); 2. Knowledge; 3. Decent standard of living. The purpose of this study is to analyze the components of each dimension that underlies the human development index, such as the Morbidity factor which is an extension of the dimensions of longevity and healthy life, the Net Enrollment Rate (APM) factor which is an extension of the education dimension, and the open unemployment rate factor. which is an extension of the dimension of a decent standard of living. These three components are used as independent variables to analyze their influence on the human development index in the DKI Jakarta province for the 2017-2021 period. This study is also used to rank the components that have the most influence to those that have the least impact on the HDI for DKI Jakarta province for the 2017-2021 period. This study uses Eviews-10 with time series data sourced from the DKI Jakarta Central Statistics Agency (BPS) web for the period 2017-2021. The research method used is the VECM (Vector Error Correction Model) which functions as an approach to predict long-term and short-term relationships in one time series data to other time series data. The results of this study say that the TPT variable (open unemployment rate), Morbidity Rate, and Net Participation Rate (APM) only make a small contribution to the Human Development Index in districts/municipalities in the Province of Jakarta. In the analysis results of the f test and t partial test, only two variables namely TPT (open unemployment rate) and morbidity have an influence on HDI. Meanwhile, the APM variable (pure enrollment rate) has no effect on HDI.
