Reader response theory offers a dynamic approach to understanding literary interpretation, shifting focus from text-centered analysis to reader engagement. This study investigates reader responses to Diana Wynne Jones's "Howl's Moving Castle" through an analysis of reviews on Goodreads, utilizing Beach's framework of reader-response theory. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research collected 60 reader comments, systematically sampling one review per month over the past year. The analysis categorized responses across five dimensions: textual, experiential, psychological, social, and cultural, revealing that experiential responses (33.33%) and textual responses (27.08%) predominated. Additionally, the study examined reader engagement across cognitive (50%), emotional (36.4%), and behavioral (13.6%) dimensions. Findings demonstrate how online reading communities like Goodreads transform literary interpretation from a solitary to a collaborative experience, highlighting the complex ways readers interact with literary texts. By exploring the nuanced responses to "Howl's Moving Castle," this research contributes to our understanding of contemporary reading practices, critical thinking literacy, and the evolving landscape of digital literary engagement.

Globalisasi telah mendorong integrasi ekonomi internasional yang semakin dalam, mendorong negara-negara untuk menyesuaikan standar akuntansi mereka. Studi ini membandingkan praktik akuntansi negara Iran dan Indonesia melalui analisis kualitatif terhadap literatur akademis, peraturan akuntansi, dan laporan keuangan perusahaan mengingat konteks budaya, ekonomi, dan hukum yang berbeda di kedua negara tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia mengadopsi Standar Akuntansi Keuangan (SAK) yang didasarkan pada IFRS sementara Iran menggunakan Standar Akuntansi Nasional yang diadaptasi dari IFRS dengan modifikasi sesuai konteks lokal. Pengadopsian IFRS di Indonesia dikatakan lebih maju dan dekat dibandingkan Iran karena Iran sedang menghadapi tantangan yang mempengaruhi perekonomian negara, seperti sanksi internasional AS. Perbedaan ini juga dipengaruhi oleh faktor seperti hukum, budaya, dan sosial. Meskipun terdapat perbedaan, kedua negara tersebut menunjukkan upaya serius dalam menyesuaikan praktik akuntansi dengan standar internasional. Secara keseluruhan, studi ini memberikan wawasan penting bagi praktisi akuntansi, regulator, dan pengambil kebijakan untuk mengembangkan praktik akuntansi yang lebih baik sesuai dengan kebutuhan masing-masing negara dalam konteks global yang terus berkembang.

Penelitian ini membandingkan kondisi sosial, ekonomi, dan pemerintahan Indonesia dan Iran. Secara sosial, Indonesia dan Iran menghadapi tantangan dalam menjaga keharmonisan sosial di tengah keberagaman. Secara ekonomi, Indonesia lebih besar dan lebih maju dibandingkan Iran, namun kedua negara mengalami kesenjangan ekonomi dan masalah infrastruktur.

Dari segi politik, Indonesia adalah negara demokrasi perwakilan, sedangkan Iran adalah republik Islam yang kekuasaan tertingginya dipegang oleh pemimpin spiritual. Namun, korupsi dan tuntutan reformasi politik masih menjadi tantangan di kedua negara. Meskipun terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan, kedua negara memiliki tantangan yang serupa dalam hal menjaga stabilitas, mengatasi kesenjangan, dan memperbaiki tata kelola pemerintahan. Adanya studi ini memberikan wawasan berharga mengenai tren sosial, ekonomi dan politik di Indonesia dan Iran yang dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan kebijakan yang lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat dan memperkuat sistem pemerintahan.

The utilization of electromagnetic fields (EMF) in modern medical technology has become a significant focus of research. This study aims to explore the therapeutic effects of EMF, especially at low frequencies (ELF) and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF), in enhancing the healing of various medical conditions. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various sources from Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed. The results showed that EMF therapy is effective in relieving pain, accelerating tissue healing, and improving the quality of life of patients with musculoskeletal disorders and fractures. Despite the many benefits, it is important to consider the potential health risks of long-term exposure to EMF. This study recommends the development of strict regulations and training for medical personnel to ensure the safe and effective use of EMF.

This research aims to determine the implementation of the principles of justice and supervision of consumer protection in protecting consumers who use whitening cream cosmetic products (from the perspective of legal justice theory). The urgency of this research was initiated because many whitening cream products are circulating that contain dangerous ingredients and are sold at low prices. The research involved takes a juridical-normative approach. Techniques for data collection include literature studies and observations at BPOM Pekanbaru City. The principle of justice in consumer legal protection has not been effectively implemented by Article 2 paragraph (2) of the UUPK. One of the factors is a lack of effective compensation. The government merely issues administrative and criminal sanctions without being obliged to compensate for damages or restore the health of the skin affected by products. Then, according to UUPK rules, the BPOM does not have the authority to supervise the execution of consumer protection (Article 30 (1) UUPK). As a result, the Pekanbaru City BPOM's supervisory function on this research issue is ineffective, leaving consumers with insufficient facilities and infrastructure, free legal aid, and quick access to settle consumer disputes with business actors.

The foundation is a substructure which functions to support the loads and forces caused by the superstructure (superstructure) to the soil layer which will carry these loads and forces. Deep foundations are usually used to obtain a large enough soil bearing capacity and if the depth of the hard soil is far below the ground surface. The aim of this task is to analyze the bearing capacity of pile foundations using sondir data, standard penetration test (SPT) data, as well as the finite element method using the plaxis program. The method used in this final assignment is by studying literature, then collecting the necessary data, and after that carrying out calculation analysis using existing methods. From the results of the calculations carried out, different results were obtained. Where for sondir data at point S1 obtained Qu =115.80 tons; at point S2 obtained Qu = 104.80 tons; at point S3 obtained Qu = 105.50 tons. Meanwhile, based on SPT data at point BH-01, Qu = 398.23 tons, and using the plaxis program Qu = 425 tons

The validity of voting results depends on various factors, one of which is the completeness and validity of the ballot paper, which is one of the important elements in elections that voters use to mark their choices. Based on the circular letter of the Tanjungpinang City General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Number: 136/PM.00.02/K.KR-06/02/2024 there were 2 TPS taking place at TPS 006 and TPS 015 there were 115 x 5 ballot papers that were not signed by KPPS so that the ballot box is open during voting, raising questions regarding its validity and the potential for fraud in the voting process. This research aims to analyze the consequences of not signing the ballot paper and its impact on the validity of the voting results, as well as the conditions for re-voting. The research method that researchers use is normative juridical, namely based on basic legal materials. This research was conducted by examining theories, concepts, legal principles and laws and regulations that are relevant to this research topic. The research results show that there are several factors that cause ballot papers not to be signed, including KPPS negligence, lack of socialization, and misinterpretation of regulations. Thus, re-voting is a step that can be taken to ensure the validity and legitimacy of voting results by considering various factors, including the number of unsigned ballot papers, the potential for fraud, and the impact on democratic stability.
