The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of internal control systems and internal audit implementation on Good Corporate Governance (GCG). This study was conducted at PT. Pertamina Persero, using primary data obtained by distributing questionnaires to 30 personnel in the audit and financial management divisions. The analysis method used in this research is multiple linear regression analysis. The results from the t- test (hypothesis test) show that (1) the internal control system variable has a positive effect on good corporate governance, with a calculated t-value of 3.921, which is greater than the t-table value of 1.701, and a significance value of 0.001, which is less than 0.05. (2) The internal audit implementation variable does not significantly affect good corporate governance, with a calculated t-value of -0.829, which is less than the t-table value of 1.701, and a significance value of 0.414, which is greater than 0.05. (3) There is a positive and significant influence of the internal control system on good corporate governance, while the internal audit implementation does not significantly impact good corporate governance. This is evidenced by an R Square value of 0.649, indicating that 64.9% shows a significant influence, and the remaining 35.1% is influenced by other variables outside of this study.

This study aims to examine the authority of the State Credits Affairs Committee (PUPN) to settle public agency credit. The Constitutional Court (MK) Decision Nr. 77/PUU-IX/2011 which abolished the phrase settlement of credits from bodies that are either directly or indirectly controlled by the State by PUPN. Otherwise, Government Regulation No. 28 of 2022 concerning Pengurusan Piutang Negara oleh PUPN regulated that PUPN can handle creditors in bad faith from special bodies/institutions/public legal entities. The research questions how public agency credits are managed by PUPN? This study differs from previous studies because it uses a public financial law perspective on the characteristics of public bodies as sui generis institutions and PUPN’s special authority in managing receivables. This research is important because it provides a legal study on legal certainty in the practice of managing public agency receivables by PUPN and eliminates concerns about lawsuits over the management of said receivables by PUPN. The research results show that processing public agency receivables by PUPN is only an alternative determined by the public agency - it does not have to be submitted. This concept is based on the application of the sui generis nature and legal subject status of public bodies and is used to optimize the management of public bodies' credits because PUPN has extraordinary coercive authority. This kind of mechanism has a positive value for public bodies in maintaining their financial health and also in efforts to maintain optimal service to the public which is the task of public bodies.

This study aims to analyse the relationship between the level of health knowledge and the use of herbal therapy in hypertensive patients in Aldehia (One-Sere, Casmuto, Suli-Ua), Suco Buruma, Posto Administrativo Baucau, Municipiu Baucau, Timor Leste in 2024.  This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of hypertensive patients in Aldehia (One-Sere, Casmuto, Suli-Ua), Suco Buruma, Posto Administrativo Baucau, Municipiu Baucau, Timor Leste in 2024. The sample was selected by random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire with variables of health knowledge, use of herbal therapy, and other factors that influence the decision to use herbal therapy.65% of hypertensive patients have a low level of health knowledge and 67.5% do not use herbal therapy. There was a significant relationship between the level of health knowledge and the use of herbal therapy. Statistical tests showed that a better level of health knowledge tended to be associated with increased use of herbal therapy, with a significant p-value (p = 0.000), which suggests that health knowledge influences patients' decision to adopt herbal therapy. Education level was significantly associated with herbal therapy use (p = 0.015), where higher education level increased the likelihood of herbal therapy use (Exp(B) = 2.034). This study shows the importance of improving health knowledge and education in influencing the use of herbal therapy among hypertensive patients.
