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. Overall, although the effectiveness of tax and capital expenditure shows positive results, financial dependence and the level of decentralization still require attention to improve the financial independence and efficiency of the Blitar Regency area.

Kampung Inggris Pare menjadi salah satu kawasan yang menarik masyarakat dari luar kota untuk datang untuk belajar memperdalam ilmu berbahasa inggris. Mayoritas orang yang datang ke Kampung Inggris adalah masyarakat yang tidak membawa kendaraan pribadi, dalam melakukan mobilitasnya mereka lebih memilih menggunakan sepeda untuk kegiatan sehari-harinya. Potensi demand ini didukung dengan banyaknya tempat persewaan sepeda di sepanjang ruas Jalan Brawijaya, yang terletak di jantung Kampung Inggris, hal ini menjadi salah satu sebab mengapa sepeda menjadi salah satu moda transportasi yang banyak digunakan di Kampung Inggris. Jalan Brawijaya menjadi salah satu ruas yang banyak dilewati oleh pengguna sepeda, karena di ruas inilah para pesepada banyak berlalu lalang untuk menuju tempat kursusnya, namun belum terdapat fasilitas yang memadai bagi pesepeda yakni belum terdapat lajur khusus sepeda. Diperlukan analisis perencanaan kebutuhan lajur khusus sepeda, dan pengadaan pemenuhan perlengkapan jalan agar menjadi jalan yang aman, nyaman dan selamat bagi pesepeda. Pengadaan lajur khusus sepeda diharapkan agar pada Jalan Brawijaya tidak terjadi mix traffic antara pesepeda dengan kendaraan bermotor. Dengan penerapan perencanaan lajur khusus sepeda dengan tipe C, nilai tingkat pelayanan jalan di Jalan Brawijaya tetap A, yang menunjukkan adanya lajur khusus sepeda tidak mempengaruhi lalu lintas yang ditimbulkan, dan keselamatan bagi pesepeda dapat ditingkatkan.

Purpose: This study seeks to deliver accurate, customized movie recommendations using the Sort Filter Skyline (SFS) algorithm. The approach considers factors like budget, box office earnings, popularity, runtime, and audience ratings to align closely with each user's specific preferences.
Methods: The Sort Filter Skyline (SFS) algorithm is employed, designed to identify and recommend items different from others within the dataset. Initially, the data undergoes preparation through pre-processing before being analyzed to compute entropy using the entropy formula. Before carrying out the dominance test, the SFS algorithm organizes the data based on entropy values.
Result: In this research, 176 skyline objects were identified from a dataset containing 4,803 movies, including well-known titles like "Avatar" and "Titanic." The Skyline Filter Sort (SFS) algorithm pinpointed these objects within 4 seconds. Additionally, evaluation results using synthetic data, as depicted in the data visualization, revealed that the number of attributes increased from 1 to 7. The dataset size grew, and the execution time also rose—from 18 seconds to 170 minutes. Despite this increase, the algorithm demonstrated efficient performance with optimized processing times.
Novelty: This study showcases the successful application of the SFS algorithm for generating personalized movie recommendations while tackling the difficulty of aligning viewer preferences with the extensive selection of films available. The findings offer important insights into enhancing recommendation systems by implementing algorithms efficiently and managing execution time complexity, contributing fresh perspectives to the field.

Bahasa Inggris merupakan bahasa Internasional yang harus dikuasai oleh masyarakat terutama mahasiswa yang sedang menempuh jenjang pendidikan di perguruan tinggi.

Pada pendidikan anak usia dini penggunaan angka secara sederhana mulai diperkenalkan. Hal ini dikarenakan banyak sekali penggunaan angka yang dapat kita jumpai pada kegiatan sehari-hari. Tahap usia dini juga merupakan waktu yang tepat untuk proses pembelajaran bahasa Inggris.  Sehingga jika anak mengawali pengenalan Bahasa Inggris dengan mengenal angka dalam Bahasa Inggris maka anak akan mudah memahaminya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman angka dalam Bahasa Inggris pada anak usia dini dengan media permainan ular tangga yang dikarenakan dalam proses pembelajaran harus menerapkan konsep belajar sambil bermain. Penelitian dilakukan di TK Al Irshad Kota Pekalongan pada anak TK Tingkat B. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan penyajian data berupa skor kemampuan anak yang dibagi menjadi 4 level skor yaitu skor 4 = jika anak bisa tanpa bantuan, skor 3 = jika anak bisa dengan bantuan awal, skor 2 = jika anak bisa dengan bantuan meniru teman, dan skor 1 = jika anak tidak bisa. Hasil yang didapatkan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan kemampuan anak dalam memahami angka dalam Bahasa Inggris. Jumlah persentase siswa dengan pemerolehan skor 3 dan 4 mengalami kenaikan, dari yang semula jumlah anak dengan skor 3 adalah 25%  meningkat menjadi  45% dan skor 4 yang semula 12,5% meningkat menjadi 25%. Sedangkan jumlah persentase siswa dengan skor 2 dan 1 mengalami penurunan yaitu yang semula skor 2 adalah 37,5% menurun menjadi 17,5%, dan pemerolehan skor 1 yang semula 25% menurun menjadi 12,5 %. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan media ular tangga mampu meningkatkan kemampuan anak usia dini dalam memahami angka dalam Bahasa Inggris.
