This research examines the relationship between stock returns and the financial performance of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) before, during, and after the Covid-19 epidemic (2018–2019, 2020–2021, and 2022–2023). Financial performance indicators are the return on invested capital (ROIC), earnings per share (EPS), working capital turnover, total asset turnover, cash ratio, debt-to-equity Ratio, debt-to-asset Ratio, Current Ratio, and cash ratio. The study's primary sources are BUMN's annual financial reports and stock price data. A multiple linear regression model examined the connection between stock returns and financial performance. According to the findings, the variables influencing stock returns varied throughout time. Before the pandemic, cash ratio and earnings per share (EPS) significantly enhanced stock returns, reflecting investor attention to liquidity and profitability during economic stability. During the pandemic, total asset turnover emerged as the key variable impacting stock returns, emphasizing the necessity for efficient asset management amidst economic uncertainty. After the pandemic, earnings per share (EPS) and return on invested capital (ROIC) became the most influential factors, indicating investors' focus on profitability and the ability to generate investment returns. The study concludes that the COVID-19 epidemic has significantly impacted the correlation between stock returns and financial performance. These results provide corporate management and investors with important information for creating flexible financial plans that adjust to shifting market conditions.

Traditional medicine has been believed for generations to be effective in treating various diseases and is recognized for its safety. One reason people opt for herbal medicine is its affordability compared to chemical drugs. Additionally, herbal medicine is required to be free of medicinal chemicals (BKO). However, a public warning issued between 2020 and 2025 indicated that some herbal preparations still contained substances like sildenafil citrate and caffeine. The aim of this research is to establish a validated analytical method to detect the presence of sildenafil citrate and caffeine in stamina-enhancing herbal medicines using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) with densitometry. This method was selected due to its cost-effectiveness and its ability to separate two compounds. In this study, category II validation was conducted to identify impurities in the preparations, focusing on test parameters such as selectivity and Limit of Detection (LOD). The selected mobile phase for this study was a mixture of chloroform and ethanol (9.5:0.5 v/v). The TLC plate was analyzed with a densitometer at a wavelength of 254 nm. The Rf value for sildenafil citrate was found to be 0.32, while the Rf value for caffeine was 0.52, resulting in a separation (Rs) value of 2. The LOD for sildenafil citrate was determined to be 8.5418 ?l/ml (equivalent to 0.0854 mg in a 600 mg sample), whereas the LOD for caffeine was 4.7987 ?l/ml (or 0.0959 mg in a 600 mg sample).

 Background: The prevalence of stunting in Semarang City is the lowest compared to other districts/cities at 10.40%. Semarang City has not used a mapping system in handling stunting cases even though mapping stunting and its risk factors with GIS can help policymakers read areas that can be used as a basis for determining stunting-related programs because each region has different characteristics. Methods: This study combined an ecological study and mapping approach with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted in 2022. The population in this study were all 16 sub-districts in Semarang City. The sampling technique in this study was total sampling.  Results: The results showed that in the mapping of correlated risk factors, the variables of the percentage of households that have access to safe sanitation,  percentage of households with shared toilet, percentage of LBW, percentage of pregnant women with parity >4, and percentage of pregnant women aged >35 years old were significantly associated with the prevalence of stunting. Conclusions: Sub-districts that can be prioritized for stunting prevention, treatment, and screening are Semarang Selatan, Semarang Utara, Semarang Tengah, Semarang Timur, and Tugu

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hakim memutuskan bahwa dua anak yang bersangkutan dapat dinasabkan kepada ayah biologisnya berdasarkan bukti DNA sesuai dengan UU No. 1 Tahun 1974 Jo UU No. 16 Tahun 2019 dan tidak bertentangan dengan hukum Islam, sehingga sejalan dengan maqasid syariah.

Background: The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia has generally experienced a decline, although not significantly. The issue of stunting is not solely caused by a single, simple factor; rather, it is influenced by complex factors. This study aims to analyze the factors associating with stunting in urban areas across Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional survey approach. The data were from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. The sample in this study were children aged 6 to 23 months residing in urban areas across Indonesia. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the associate between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Results: This study found that male (PR = 1.37), history of stunting at birth (PR = 1.41), low birth weight (PR = 2.13), history of tuberculosis (TB) (PR = 4.53) and family wealth status (PR = 2.28) were significantly associated with stunting status among children in urban areas. These factors were identified as key determinants, with their respective prevalence ratios indicating a substantial association with the prevalence of stunting in the population under study. Conclusions: In the urban context, there are predictive factors of stunting prevalence that require serious attention, such as having a history of TB illness and poor environmental health conditions
