Regional financial ratio analysis is important to see how the region can manage finances effectively and efficiently. The results of financial analysis in Blitar Regency for the years 2019-2023 show that the Regional Financial Dependency Ratio fluctuates, with a high average of 72%, indicating a significant dependence on the central government. The Regional Financial Freedom Ratio, although increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, remains low at an average of 24%, indicating a pattern of consultative relations with the central government. The Decentralization Degree Ratio is also low, averaging 12.99%, indicating a lack of regional capacity to generate their own income. The Tax Effectiveness Ratio shows a very effective performance with an average of 113%, indicating the realization of tax revenue exceeding the target. The ratio of Direct and Indirect Expenses shows less efficiency, with indirect expenses being more dominant.

Diskursus politik pada hari ini tidak dapat dilepaskan dari penggunaan media sosial. Banyak aktor politik menggunakannya untuk melakukan kampanye isu hingga menyerang lawan politik demi memengaruhi opini publik. Salah satu instrumen yang digunakan oleh aktor politik dalam menggunakan media sosial ini adalah akun bot. Akun bot merupakan akun daring yang beroperasi secara otomatis yang seluruh aktivitasnya dalam akun tersebut bukan merupakan hasil dari tindakan seseorang. Penggunaan akun bot ini dinilai banyak ahli demokrasi dan ahli hukum sebagai penurun kualitas demokrasi di suatu negara. Walaupun demikian, masih banyak negara yang belum menerapkan regulasi terhadap penggunaan akun bot ini termasuk Indonesia. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan tinjauan hukum terhadap penggunaan akun bot dalam rangka memengaruhi opini publik di Indonesia. Menggunakan teori demokrasi deliberatif, tulisan ini melihat bahwa penggunaan akun bot oleh aktor politik dapat mencegah tujuan demokrasi yang telah diamanatkan oleh UUD 1945 tidak tercapai. Penulis kemudian merekomendasikan regulasi penggunaan akun bot ini melalui revisi UU No. 19 Tahun 2019 Tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik disertai dengan argumentasi pro-kontra yang perlu diperhatikan dalam penerapan hukum tersebut.

Socks are essential daily wear that require special care, including an effective drying process to prevent unpleasant odors and the growth of bacteria and fungi. Conventional drying methods often face challenges, especially in high-humidity environments or during unfavorable weather conditions. This study aims to design and develop a prototype sock dryer that is more efficient and hygienic. The prototype utilizes a combination of a heater, UV lamp, and humidity and temperature sensors to ensure optimal drying without damaging fabric fibers. A microcontroller-based control system using Arduino Uno is implemented to regulate device operation and monitor sock conditions during drying. Testing results indicate that the device effectively dries cotton socks in damp conditions faster than conventional methods. Additionally, the sterilization feature with a UV lamp helps reduce the risk of microbial growth. This innovation is expected to provide users with a practical, hygienic, and efficient way to dry socks without depending on weather conditions. Further development can be carried out to enhance drying capacity and energy efficiency.
