The stability of the banking sector is crucial in maintaining a country’s financial system and economic sustainability. This study analyzes the impact of Net Interest Margin (NIM), Non-Performing Loans (NPL), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) on banking stability in Indonesia. The inconsistency of previous research findings indicates a research gap that requires further exploration. This study employs a quantitative approach using secondary data from financial reports of conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 39 banks with 195 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with classical assumption tests, including normality, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, and autocorrelation, to ensure model validity. The results show that NIM positively but not significantly affects banking stability, while NPL has a negative and significant effect. CAR also significantly influences banking stability. Enhancing banking intermediation effectiveness through NIM and CAR can strengthen financial stability, whereas increasing credit risk, reflected in NPL, can weaken stability. This study provides insights for regulators and banking management in designing more effective policies to maintain banking sector stability in Indonesia.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology allows a person to learn to control external actuators by means of arbitrary modification of their own EEG directly from the brain without involving nerves and muscles in this process, allowing to control external technical systems directly by brain signals. In the last two decades, BCI technology has been rapidly developing: its areas of application are expanding, new types of sensors for recording brain signals are being proposed, the quality of their recognition is improving, and methods for training subjects to control BCI are being perfected. At the beginning, the main goal of BCI development was to replace or restore motor functions of a person suffering from neuromuscular disorders. Currently, the tasks of BCI development have significantly expanded, increasingly capturing various spheres of life of a healthy person.

Verbal bullying involves hurtful words, such as insults and degrading nicknames, and remains a growing issue in Indonesia, with 87 cases reported as of August 2023.

Background: Preterm labor (PTL) remains a major global health concern, contributing significantly to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), has been implicated as a predisposing factor to PTL. This research investigates association between ASB and PTL, emphasizing inflammatory mediators such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein along with tumor necrosis factor- ?. Methods: This observational case-control study was conducted at Tikrit Teaching Hospital, Iraq, involving 100 pregnant women (50 PTL cases and 50 full-term controls). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Urine cultures identified bacterial isolates. In addition, levels of TNF-? and hs-CRP in serum were measured using ELISA. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS.  Results: ASB was significantly associated with PTL, with 30% from PTL cases having a positive urine culture compared to 8% in controls (p = 0.009). Escherichia coli was the predominant pathogen (53%). TNF-? and hs-CRP levels were significantly elevated in PTL cases (p < 0.001), suggesting an inflammatory pathway in PTL pathophysiology. Conclusions: ASB is a significant risk factor for PTL, likely mediated by systemic inflammation. Routine ASB screening and targeted antimicrobial therapy may reduce PTL risk. Further study is required to explore the mechanistic connections amongst microbial infection and inflammatory responses in PTL. 

This study aims to analyze the marriage agreement as an instrument of legal protection for both parties in a marriage, especially in terms of property ownership and financial responsibility. This study uses a sociological juridical method, with primary data obtained through interviews with a notary and secondary data from various legal literature, including Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, the Civil Code, and the Constitutional Court Decision Number 69/PUU-XIII/2015. The results of the study indicate that the marriage agreement plays a role in preventing potential legal conflicts in marriage, both in monogamous and polygamous systems, and provides legal certainty for third parties, such as creditors or heirs. This agreement not only protects the rights and obligations of the husband and wife, but also ensures legal clarity in the division of assets and financial responsibility during and after the marriage.
