One of the prevention strategies recommended by the government is the implementation of CERDIK behavior (Check health, Eliminate cigarette smoke, Be diligent in physical activity, Healthy diet, Get enough rest, and Manage stress). However, not all elderly people implement this behavior optimally. This study aims to determine the factors related to CERDIK behavior in efforts to prevent hypertension in the elderly at the Lubuk Buaya Health Center, Padang City.This research is a quantitative study with a cross sectional design. The population was all elderly people aged 60-74 years and over who visited the Lubuk Buaya Health Center, Padang City with a sample of 96 elderly people selected by accidental sampling. The research was conducted in March-August. Data collection was carried out on 25 Mei – 6 Juni 2025. Data were collected using a questionnaire through direct interviews and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test.The results of the study showed that 45.8% of elderly people had poor CERDIK behavior, 37.5% of elderly people had low levels of knowledge, 47.9% of elderly people had poor access to information and 37.5% of elderly people had poor family support. The results of statistical tests showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge (p = 0.000) and access to information (p = 0.026) with CERDIK behavior. However, there was no relationship between family support and CERDIK behavior (p = 0.669). Knowledge and access to information are factors associated with CERDIK behaviors in preventing hypertension in the elderly. Improved education and the provision of easily accessible health information for families of the elderly are needed as part of promotive interventions at the community health center level.

The Effect of Inflation, Exchange Rate, BI Rate, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on Third-Party Funds of Islamic Commercial Banks during the 2020–2024 Period

Tasya Rachma, Misdiyono, Aulia Nugraha
Abstract: This study aims to examine the short-term and long-term relationships between inflation, exchange rate, BI rate, and GDP on third-party funds (DPK) in Islamic commercial banks. This research uses a quantitative approach&#8230; and secondary data, which consist of 60 monthly observations from January 2020 to December 2024. The analysis tool employed is the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), with several tests conducted, including the stationarity test, optimal lag test, VAR stability test, cointegration test, Granger causality test, VECM estimation, impulse response function (IRF) test, and forecast error variance decomposition (FEVD) test. The results indicate that inflation has a significant negative effect on DPK in both the short and long term. The exchange rate has no significant effect on DPK in either the short or long term. The BI rate does not affect DPK in the short term, while in the long term, it tends to show a negative effect, though not significant. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has a significant positive effect on DPK in both the short and long term.

Abdul Hafid
Abstract: This paper explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing decision-making processes within multinational corporations. The primary issue addressed is how AI can be integrated effectively across diverse global&#8230; obal markets, considering factors like regulatory frameworks, cultural diversity, and market dynamics. The research proposes a framework for AI implementation that ensures both operational efficiency and ethical soundness. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys from key stakeholders in multinational corporations. Preliminary findings suggest that AI significantly improves decision-making speed and accuracy, particularly in data analysis, market trend prediction, and consumer behavior forecasting. However, challenges remain in adapting AI systems to various cultural and regulatory environments, highlighting the need for customization and local adjustments. This study contributes to understanding how AI can be applied more effectively and ethically across international markets, offering insights for future implementations in diverse business contexts.

The Influence Of Academic Leadership Styles On The Quality Of Higher Education In Indonesia

Abdul Wahid, Ahmad
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of academic leadership styles on the quality of higher education in Indonesia, focusing on permanent lecturers in public and private universities under the Ministry of Education in South&#8230; outh Sulawesi. Using a quantitative explanatory approach and survey method, data were collected from 120 respondents and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS. The study examines three leadership styles—transformational, transactional, and distributed—and their impact on teaching quality, institutional governance, student outcomes, and academic services. The findings reveal that all three leadership styles positively affect higher education quality, with transformational leadership having the most significant impact, followed by distributed and transactional styles. These results underscore the importance of visionary and participative leadership in improving institutional performance, particularly in regional universities facing resource and structural limitations. The study contributes theoretically by validating leadership models in a non-Western context and practically by offering insights for leadership development policies. It highlights the need for adaptive leadership strategies tailored to local academic cultures and institutional dynamics to enhance educational quality in Indonesian higher education.

Capital Structure and Investment Return: A Case Study of PT Semen Indonesia

Riska, Neneng Yanti Andriani
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) and Long Term Debt to Equity Ratio (LTDTER) on Return on Investment (ROI) at PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk during the period 2016–2023. The method used&#8230; sed is descriptive associative with a quantitative approach, using secondary data in the form of the company's quarterly financial reports obtained through purposive sampling techniques. The analytical tools used include Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis, coefficient of determination (R²), t-test and F-test, and multiple linear regression. The results of the study show that DAR has a negative correlation with ROI of -0.607, while LTDTER also shows a negative correlation of -0.478, both of which are included in the weak relationship category. The coefficient of determination value of 50.4% indicates that half of the variation in ROI can be explained by the two independent variables, while the remaining 49.6% is influenced by other factors outside the study. The F test shows that DAR and LTDTER simultaneously have a significant effect on ROI. This finding confirms that a high debt-based capital structure has a negative impact on investment returns, making it important for financial management to consider the efficiency of long-term debt use and total debt in long-term financial strategies.
