This study aims to analyze the effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness in the turning process of AISI 1045 steel. The investigated parameters include cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. A quantitative approach was employed using multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS software. The dataset consisted of 30 simulated experimental observations with varying cutting parameter conditions. Prior to regression analysis, classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests were conducted to ensure the validity of the model. The results indicated that all assumptions were satisfied. The findings reveal that simultaneously, all independent variables have a significant effect on surface roughness with a coefficient of determination of 82.1%. Partially, Feed rate and cutting speed significantly influence surface roughness, while depth of cut does not show a significant effect. Feed rate is identified as the most dominant variable affecting surface roughness, where an increase in Feed rate leads to higher roughness values. In contrast, increasing cutting speed tends to reduce surface roughness. This study highlights the importance of controlling cutting parameters, particularly Feed rate and cutting speed, to improve machining quality. The results provide practical implications for manufacturing industries in optimizing machining parameters to achieve better surface quality and process efficiency.

This study aimsmto examineiin depthvthe perspective of information technology law and human rights on the phenomenon of political buzzers on social media within the context of digital development in the era of globalization. This research is motivated by the rapid advancement of information technology, which has brought significant changes in various aspects of society, including the political sphere that increasingly utilizes social media as a means of communication and information dissemination. The phenomenon of political buzzers has become a controversial issue, particularly during election periods, as it is often associated with the spread of inaccurate information, defamation, hate speech, and the manipulation of public opinion that may harm society and disrupt social stability. This study employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The results indicate that political buzzers generally operate under the justification of freedom of expression as part of human rights. However, such freedom is not absolute and must be limited to prevent violations of others' rights and to maintain public order. In this regard, information technology law in Indonesia, particularly through regulations governing digital activities, plays an important role in controlling deviant buzzer practices. Nevertheless, the absence of specific regulations explicitly governing political buzzers has resulted in less optimal law enforcement. Therefore, strengthening regulations and increasing public awareness in the wise use of social media are necessary to create a healthy, responsible, and sustainable digital ecosystem.

Anxiety disorders are common mental health problems among adolescents, particularly high school students who face academic demands, social pressure, and emotional changes. Family support, sleep quality, and academic stress are considered factors related to students’ anxiety levels. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family support, sleep quality, academic stress, and anxiety disorders among students of SMAN 1 Sumbawa Besar. An analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 114 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Perceived Social Support–Family (PSS-Fa), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Educational Stress Scale for Adolescence (ESSA), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis employed binary logistic regression. Bivariate results indicated significant associations between family support, sleep quality, academic stress, and anxiety disorders (p < 0.05). However, multivariate analysis revealed that only family support and sleep quality were significantly associated with anxiety disorders, while academic stress was not significant after controlling for other variables. These findings suggest that anxiety prevention efforts should prioritize strengthening family support and improving sleep quality, alongside academic stress management within the school environment.
