This study aims to examine the potential and challenges of utilizing Solar Power Plants (PLTS) in Medan City, which is geographically located near the equator and receives high exposure to sunlight throughout the year. The method used is a literature review with a narrative review approach that analyzes secondary data from various journals and relevant scientific articles. The results of the study show that Medan City has an average annual horizontal global solar radiation intensity of 463.61 W/m², with the potential for electrical power that can be generated from rooftop solar panels reaching 748.57 MW (monocrystalline), 598.85 MW (polycrystalline), and 299.43 MW (thin film). This potential is comparable to the capacity of large-scale power plants. The use of PLTS contributes to reducing carbon emissions, increasing energy security, creating jobs, and developing the local economy. However, challenges such as high installation costs, limited suitability of roof structures, and low public awareness are still major obstacles in the implementation of this technology. Therefore, synergy is needed between government policies, public education, and technological innovation to optimize the use of solar energy in urban areas such as Medan.

Chitosan-based edible coating is a thin, consumable layer derived from crustacean shells that functions as a natural preservative. The incorporation of grape leaf extract can enhance its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, thereby improving the shelf life of food products. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of grape leaf extract addition to chitosan-based edible coating on the antioxidant activity and flavonoid content of red grapes during storage at room temperature. Extract concentrations of 0%, 3%, 4%, and 5% were applied, with measurements conducted on day 0 and day 7 of storage. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH method, while flavonoid content was measured via UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Results indicated a significant increase in antioxidant activity on day 0, with the highest value observed at 5% concentration (75.09%; p = 0.044). By day 7, antioxidant activity showed a tendency to increase, peaking at 76.30%, although the change was not statistically significant (p = 0.081). Flavonoid content increased significantly on both day 0 (p = 0.027) and day 7 (p = 0.000), with the highest levels recorded at 5% concentration (440.33 mg QE/g and 374.76 mg QE/g, respectively). Two-way ANOVA analysis revealed that both independent variables had a significant effect on the two parameters, while their interaction was significant only for flavonoid content (p = 0.000).

Currently, one concrete manifestation of community participation in nation building is by paying taxes.  Tax contributions in recent years have become increasingly significant and can be taken into account as the backbone of national financing sources in order to make national development programs a success that will increase economic growth. The number of taxpayers is also increasing from time to time as a reflection of increasing taxpayer awareness and compliance. MSMEs in Simokerto District, Surabaya, as part of the Taxpayers, we will accompany in realizing compliance as Taxpayers in the hope of knowing the latest regulations and calculation methods for withholding PPh Article 21 in the previous provisions, which have high complexity and calculation schemes that vary greatly. PPh Article 21 tax on individuals is very comparable to other withholding tax systems (for example: Final Income Tax, PPh Article 23), making it difficult for Taxpayers to fulfill their PPh Article 21 obligations. Government Regulation Number 58 of 2023 concerning Tax Withholding and Imposition Rates has been stipulated. Income Article 21 on Income in Connection with Work, Services or Activities of Individual Taxpayers (PP) which applies on January 1 2024
