The phenomenon of megachurches represents one of the most significant developments in contemporary Christianity, reflecting shifts in church organizational structures, leadership patterns, and engagement with modern culture. Despite their rapid growth, megachurches have drawn criticism, particularly regarding reliance on charismatic leadership, the prominence of prosperity theology narratives, and the potential weakening of communal dimensions in church life. This study aims to analyze the megachurch phenomenon through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the sociology of religion and ecclesiological reflection. Employing a qualitative method, this research utilizes literature analysis and a phenomenological approach to understand leadership dynamics and religious practices within large church contexts. The findings indicate that megachurch growth is driven by a combination of charismatic leadership, complex organizational systems, and adaptation to contemporary culture, including digitalization and religious consumerism. However, this model also generates tension with New Testament ecclesiological principles that emphasize participatory community and servant leadership. This study contributes to practical theology by offering an integrative analysis and provides a reflective basis for churches to evaluate their organizational forms and leadership practices in light of foundational theological principles.

The interval between 2018 and 2025 represents a defining epoch in financial assurance, characterized by a systemic collision between traditional audit methodologies and the exponential sophistication of fraudulent actors. This research employs a comprehensive library research methodology, utilizing Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to evaluate the evolving landscape of audit and fraud. The study traces the theoretical migration from Cressey’s Fraud Triangle to multidimensional frameworks like the Fraud Pentagon, which emphasizes the roles of arrogance and competence. Through a forensic examination of catastrophic audit failures including Wirecard, FTX, and the emerging risks of crypto-assets, the research identifies recurring patterns of auditor failure in assessing operational risks and internal controls. Furthermore, the report analyzes the dual-edged impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI); while machine learning algorithms offer enhanced detection capabilities, the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) and deepfake technology has empowered perpetrators to execute sophisticated "synthetic reality" frauds. The study critically evaluates regulatory responses, particularly the revision of International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 240, which mandates a more proactive "fraud lens." The findings suggest that the auditing profession faces an existential crisis of relevance, necessitating a fundamental shift toward a forensic mindset supported by advanced technological integration.

Bangunan yang berada di daerah rawan gempa dengan tanah lunak cenderung memiliki tingkat kerentanan yang lebih tinggi. Dalam merancang struktur bangunan bertingkat, beban gempa menjadi salah satu parameter utama yang sangat berpengaruh. Kekuatan sebuah bangunan ditentukan oleh elemen-elemen struktur yang menopangnya dan kolom merupakan elemen struktur yang memiliki peran penting dalam konstruksi. Jika kolom mengalami kegagalan, bangunan yang ditopangnya berpotensi runtuh. Oleh karena itu, rendahnya ketahanan konstruksi di wilayah ini tetap menjadi permasalahan yang sedang diteliti saat ini. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui seberapa jauh pengaruh variasi dimensi kolom terhadap struktur bangunan terhadap gempa, sehingga diperoleh ukuran dimensi kolom yang paling optimal. Pada penelitian ini, objek yang digunakan adalah bangunan 8 lantai yang terdiri dari lantai 1-3 merupakan kantor dan lantai 4-8 merupakan hunian. Pada perencanaan ulang bangunan ini berpedoman pada persyaratan beton struktural (SNI 2847:2019), perencanaan ketahanan gempa (SNI 1726:2019), dan beban minimum untuk perancangan bangunan gedung dan struktur lain (SNI 1727:2020), dengan pemodelan menggunakan software ETABS V.22. Redesain bangunan ini untuk mengetahui ukuran dimensi kolom yang paling optimal. Hasil penelitian perubahan dimensi kolom terhadap kekuatan struktur bangunan yakni dengan memperbesar dimensi kolom, kapasitas penampang bertambah yang dapat meningkatkan ketahanan kolom terhadap beban gempa. Selain itu, dimensi yang lebih besar juga membantu mengurangi tegangan aksial pada kolom, sehingga menurunkan risiko kegagalan akibat tegangan berlebih atau kelelahan material. Semakin besar dimensi kolom yang digunakan maka semakin kecil nilai simpangan yang dihasilkan. Artinya dengan dimensi kolom yang lebih kecil memiliki resiko yang lebih tinggi, sebab nilai simpangan lebih dekat dengan batas yang diijinkan. Akan tetapi hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dimensi kolom dengan berbagai variasi masih aman dari pengaruh delta izin.

Poverty in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) remains a significant issue despite a decline in poverty rates in recent years. This study aims to identify the factors influencing poverty in DIY from social, economic, and structural perspectives, as well as to evaluate policies that can address this issue. The method used in this research is a literature review through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), examining various relevant sources on poverty in DIY and the poverty alleviation policies implemented in the region. The results of the study indicate that poverty in DIY is caused by several main factors, such as income inequality, low-quality education, low skill levels among the population, and limited access to business capital and productive resources. One policy that has proven effective in reducing poverty is the provision of access to capital and productive resources through microcredit schemes and agrarian reform. These programs not only provide capital but also enhance the ability of the poor to manage their businesses. These findings offer important insights into understanding poverty in DIY and suggest that policies supporting the empowerment of the poor through education, skills, and economic access can be an effective solution to reduce poverty in the long term..
