Hubungan Upah Industri dan Pengeluaran Per Kapita Terhadap Inflasi di Kalimantan dengan Pendekatan Metode Regresi

2025-03-28T20:22:27+07:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of average industrial sector wages and per capita expenditure on inflation in Kalimantan using the multiple linear regression method. The data used includes annual average industrial sector wages and per capita expenditure as independent variables, with the inflation rate as the dependent variable. The analysis results indicate that average industrial sector wages have a significant impact on inflation, while per capita expenditure contributes on a smaller scale. The applied inflation prediction model demonstrates a fairly good level of accuracy with an RMSE value of 0.010 ± 0.000. However, significant deviations between predicted and actual values were observed at certain points, such as inflation rates of 0.015 and 0.04, highlighting limitations in the model. The findings imply that an increase in industrial sector wages could drive inflation due to higher production costs passed on to consumers. Conversely, higher per capita expenditure shows a weaker correlation with inflation but still contributes to increased consumption. This study is expected to serve as a reference for policymakers in formulating more effective strategies to control inflation in Kalimantan, such as managing industrial sector wages and enhancing household purchasing power.

Epigenetik dan Penuaan (Aging): Peluang Intervensi Molekuler untuk Hidup Sehat Lebih Lama

2025-05-03T10:04:00+07:00

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by a decline in cellular function and increased susceptibility to degenerative diseases. In recent decades, research has shown that epigenetic modifications—such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and regulation by non-coding RNAs—play a key role in the aging process. These changes influence gene expression without altering the DNA sequence and contribute to cellular damage, chronic inflammation, and tissue dysfunction. As scientific understanding advances, various epigenetic-based molecular interventions have emerged, including epigenetic reprogramming, senolytic therapies, and pharmacological and lifestyle approaches targeting epigenetic mechanisms. Although challenges remain in terms of safety, specificity, and clinical applicability, these approaches offer promising potential for extending healthspan and improving quality of life in later years.

This study aims to analyze the role of Batak Toba traditional leaders in shaping voting behavior during the 2022 village head election in Ujung Serdang Village, as well as to reveal their significant role in influencing the political behavior of local residents. The research was conducted in Ujung Serdang Village, a community with a strong Batak Toba population that upholds traditional cultural values, despite being situated in a modern urban area. The subjects of the study include influential traditional leaders and residents of Ujung Serdang Village. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection techniques comprising structured interviews, literature review, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through stages of data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that traditional leaders play a crucial role as agents of political socialization in influencing voting behavior during the Ujung Serdang village head election. Their roles include mobilizing, guiding, supervising, and engaging in decision-making. This influence is rooted in local cultural values such as Dalihan Na Tolu, which serves as a moral and social compass in leadership selection. However, the dynamics of voting behavior in Ujung Serdang show a shift, where rational considerations based on the candidates' visions, missions, and programs are becoming more dominant, surpassing purely social or emotional ties. This dominance of a rational approach reflects a growing political awareness and a desire among the community to elect leaders who offer real change and tangible progress. Although traditional leaders remain significant as mediators, agents of political socialization, and guardians of customary norms, their influence increasingly depends on the ability of the candidates they support to persuade voters with measurable ideas and plans. The interaction between traditional authority and voter rationality ultimately shapes the election outcome, reflecting an evolution in the democratic process at the local level.
