Gede Eka Budi Darmawan, Kadek Suranata — Fri, 16 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study investigates the effectiveness of AR-based traditional Balinese games as instructional tools for enhancing learning motivation and biomotor skills among elementary school students. Utilizing a pretest-posttest control group experimental design, 60 fifth-grade students were randomly allocated into experimental and control cohorts. The experimental group engaged in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) sessions incorporating AR-based traditional Balinese games, while the control group received conventional PJOK instruction. Data were collected via validated learning motivation questionnaires and standardized biomotor skill assessments, with multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) employed for statistical analysis. Results demonstrated that the experimental group achieved a 25.3% increase in learning motivation and a 22.4% improvement in biomotor skills, both of which were statistically significant (p < 0.01) compared to the control group. These outcomes indicate that AR-based traditional Balinese games outperform conventional pedagogical methods in simultaneously enhancing cognitive engagement and physical competency. The study confirms the transformative potential of AR technology in primary education, particularly when aligned with culturally rooted content, to optimize holistic student development.

Implementation of zero-based budgeting in corporate financial planning to improve operational cost efficiency

Santorry Santorry — Mon, 19 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study explores the implementation of Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) in corporate financial planning as a strategic approach to enhance operational cost efficiency. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, the research conducts a comprehensive literature review to analyze existing frameworks, case studies, and empirical evidence surrounding ZBB practices in various corporate settings. The findings indicate that ZBB, by requiring organizations to justify all expenses for each new period, fosters a culture of accountability and resource optimization. This budgeting method contrasts with traditional incremental budgeting, which often perpetuates inefficiencies and misallocations of resources. The literature reveals that companies adopting ZBB have reported significant improvements in cost management, operational flexibility, and strategic alignment of financial resources with organizational goals. Furthermore, the study identifies key challenges in the implementation of ZBB, including resistance to change, the need for robust data management systems, and the necessity for a shift in organizational mindset. The research concludes that while ZBB presents a viable solution for enhancing cost efficiency, its successful implementation requires a thorough understanding of organizational dynamics and a commitment to continuous improvement. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing insights into the practical implications of ZBB in corporate financial planning.

Mothers’ parenting of adolescents in the VUCA era: a phenomenological analysis

Arri Handayani, Padmi Dhyah Yulianti, Ika Menarianti — Sat, 24 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700

In the VUCA era (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity), mothers must adjust their parenting without neglecting family values. This study investigated mothers’ experiences in guiding adolescents during the VUCA era and identified their adaptive strategies based on Duvall’s family development theory. This qualitative phenomenological design involved three mothers as participants taken with purposive sampling, with data collected through interviews, observations, and focus group discussions (FGDs). The researcher analyzed the data using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The findings revealed five main themes indicating that mothers’ interpretations of their parenting roles influence their experiences, psychological stress, expectations, and the parenting strategies they adopt. Mothers’ roles in parenting adolescents have shifted from traditional approaches to more modern, adaptive, and holistic models. In adapting to these dynamics, mothers involved multiple components, including themselves, their adolescent children, their husbands, and the wider community. The findings also demonstrated the expansion of Duvall's family development theory to incorporate new dynamics, particularly those fuelled by technological advancements. Support programs that enhance adolescents' emotional regulation skills can implement this research in school counseling services. For community-based applications, a systems approach involving fathers and other family members can be used, along with digital parenting platforms such as e-parenting.id for education and counseling. Counselors can also provide training and support to address parenting-related stress among mothers and offer family counseling to improve family well-being.

Learning Style VAK Inventory for Junior High School students in Indonesia, addressing the need for culturally relevant, technology-driven assessments. Existing learning style inventories often lack adaptation to specific educational contexts, and there is a growing demand for accessible, internet-based evaluation tools. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining the inventory’s construct validity, reliability, and effectiveness in classifying students’ learning preferences. The inventory, consisting of 15 items measuring visual, auditory, and tactile learning styles, was tested on a sample of 1,400 students using online data collection. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess the factor structure, yielding good model fit indices (CFI = 0.946, RMSEA = 0.024, SRMR = 0.027), supporting the inventory’s validity. However, internal consistency was moderate (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.580), highlighting the need for further refinement. Item discrimination indices ranged from 0.132 to 0.328, suggesting revisions for clarity and relevance. Descriptive findings indicated that tactile learners scored slightly higher (Mean = 21.187) than visual (Mean = 20.872) and auditory learners (Mean = 19.119), reflecting individual differences in learning preferences. While the study confirms the instrument’s structural validity, limitations include moderate reliability and potential biases due to online administration. Future research should focus on improving reliability, refining weak items, and ensuring broader population representation. The findings suggest that this inventory could assist educators in tailoring instructional strategies to students' learning preferences, supporting adaptive curriculum planning and personalized learning approaches in digital education settings.

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Limited studies have examined the combined impact of training, gender, and work experience on air traffic controllers' (ATC) performance. This study examines the simultaneous influence of training, gender, and work experience on ATC performance at AirNav Indonesia’s Medan Branch, aiming to identify dominant predictors and policy implications. A quantitative associative design was employed with saturated sampling of 69 ATC personnel holding Aerodrome Controller Ratings. Data were collected via validated questionnaires (Cronbach’s α > 0.7) and standardized rating tests, then analyzed using multiple regression (α = 0.05). The model explained 26% of performance variance (R² = 0.26, F(3,56) = 6.572, p = 0.001). Training (β = 0.344, p = 0.010) and work experience (β = 0.286, p = 0.031) were significant, while gender (β = -0.078, p = 0.529) was insignificant. The data analysis results indicate that the simultaneous F test result's significance value is sig 0.001 <0.05, which means they have a simultaneous effect. The findings emphasize prioritizing recurrent training programs and experience-based assignments for ATC. The remaining 74% unexplained variance, particularly the minimal explained variance in the current model, highlights the need for future research to explore additional performance factors such as cognitive abilities and team dynamics, while the findings continue to support gender-neutral scheduling policies.

Examining the role of lecturer servant leadership in fostering post-millennial student engagement and its impact on learning outcomes

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The post-millennial generation’s reliance on digital learning tools, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, has created an urgent need to redefine pedagogical leadership in higher education. This study fills a critical gap in the literature by empirically testing how servant leadership directly impacts student engagement and learning outcomes. Using a cross-sectional quantitative design data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaires from 100 undergraduate students purposively sampled from private universities with suboptimal e-learning infrastructure. Structural equation modeling (SEM) in AMOS 22 revealed that servant leadership strongly predicts student engagement with an estimated value (λ = 0.911, p <0.001), the influence of Lecturer Servant Leadership on student learning outcomes is significant with a value (λ = 0.609, p = 0.020) and the influence of student engagement on student learning outcomes is small but has a significant impact with a value (λ = 0.160, p <0.001). From the calculation results obtained, the indirect effect of Lecturer Servant Leadership on learning outcomes is 0.146 or 14.6% mediation effect, which means Total Effect = Direct Effect (0.609) + Indirect Effect (0.146) = 0.755, with Proportion of mediation = 0.146 / 0.755 ≈ 19.3%. The results prove that by encouraging “engagement” as cognitive participation, emotional investment, and behavioral interaction, student learning outcomes will increase by lecturer servant leadership model.

Rasty Susanty, Lukman Prasetyo, Agustinus Adityo, Agustian Budi Prasetya — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the influence of Person-Organization Fit (P-O Fit), Person-Job Fit (P-J Fit), and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on employee performance, as well as to evaluate the mediating role of job satisfaction among permanent employees in the banking sector in Jakarta. The research uses a quantitative explanatory approach with a survey method, involving 300 bank employees in Jakarta as respondents. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with 5,000 bootstrap resampling. The results show that POS has both a direct and indirect significant effect on employee performance through job satisfaction. P-O Fit directly affects performance but does not significantly influence job satisfaction. Conversely, P-J Fit significantly affects job satisfaction but does not have a direct impact on performance. Job satisfaction is proven to be a significant mediator in the relationships between P-J Fit and POS with performance. These findings highlight the importance of organizational support and job fit in enhancing employee satisfaction and performance. The practical implication of this study suggests that human resource strategies in the banking sector should focus on increasing job satisfaction through alignment and organizational support approaches as a strategic effort to improve employee performance.

The influence of the human development index on domestic investment flows in Indonesia

Tulus Widjajanto, Vinandri Hapsari — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the influence of the Human Development Index (HDI) on domestic investment flows in Indonesia using a qualitative research approach. By employing a literature review and library research method, this paper synthesizes existing studies to understand how human development indicators—such as education, health, and income—affect investment decisions within the country. The findings suggest that regions with a higher HDI tend to attract more domestic investment due to better infrastructure, a more skilled workforce, and improved economic stability. Conversely, areas with lower HDI scores often struggle to secure substantial investment due to inadequate human capital and limited access to resources. Furthermore, this study highlights the role of government policies in bridging the development gap, emphasizing the importance of targeted investments in education and healthcare to foster sustainable economic growth. The analysis also considers the potential challenges faced by investors in different regions of Indonesia, including regulatory constraints, market uncertainties, and socio-economic disparities. By drawing insights from various academic sources, this research contributes to the broader discourse on the relationship between human development and economic activity, particularly in emerging economies. The study concludes that a strong HDI serves as a crucial determinant for enhancing domestic investment flows, thereby reinforcing the need for continuous improvements in human capital development. Future research should explore empirical data to further validate these qualitative findings and provide more policy-oriented recommendations.

Maintaining spiritual and balance technology in the AI era

Riri Trisia — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought about profound changes in many facets of human existence, posing new difficulties that have an impact on mental and spiritual equilibrium. With an emphasis on how people might stay connected to spiritual parts of life in the face of rapid change, this study examines the significance of preserving balance between spiritual ideals and technological advancements. To lessen the effects of "techno-stress" and alienation that people frequently experience in the digital age, an integrative strategy that incorporates mindfulness, religion-based ethics, traditional practices like meditation and dhikr, as well as universal moral standards, is suggested. While stressing the risks of utilizing AI technology without a solid ethical basis, this article also explores how it may aid in human spiritual development, for instance, through applications that promote meditation and introspection. Society may use AI as a tool to enhance life quality rather than merely increase efficiency if it embraces spirituality as a key component of interactions with the technology. This study provides guidance for creating a more meaningful and balanced existence in the high-tech age.

Correlation of docetaxel administration duration, dosage, and patient age with epiphora severity: a retrospective observational study in breast cancer patients

Riani Erna, Dita Mintardi, Nur Qodir, Erial Bahar — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Epiphora, or excessive tearing, is a frequent yet under-recognised adverse effect of docetaxel, a taxane-based chemotherapeutic agent used in breast cancer treatment. Inflammatory and fibrotic changes within the lacrimal drainage system are hypothesised as the primary mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between docetaxel administration duration and epiphora severity, alongside the impact of cumulative dosage and patient age. A retrospective observational study was conducted at Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang, involving 25 breast cancer patients who reported epiphora during docetaxel chemotherapy. Patients with pre-existing ocular conditions, prior lacrimal surgery, or concurrent use of epiphora-inducing medications were excluded. Epiphora severity was assessed using the Munk score, and statistical analyses included Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression. Findings demonstrated a strong positive correlation between epiphora severity and docetaxel duration (r = 0.645, p < 0.05), cumulative dosage (r = 0.618, p < 0.05), and patient age (r = 0.703, p < 0.05). Limitations include the retrospective design, small sample size, and subjective assessment tools. These results emphasise the importance of monitoring for epiphora during docetaxel therapy, with early ophthalmologic intervention recommended. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify pathophysiological mechanisms and optimise management strategies for chemotherapy-induced epiphora.

Samsinar Samsinar, Warlinda, Rahmalia Dahman — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Anxiety in pregnant women is a common problem and can have negative impacts on maternal and fetal health. Women experience anxiety during pregnancy which can increase the risk of complications such as postpartum depression, premature birth, and impaired infant development. Non-pharmacological interventions such as prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr therapy have been shown to be effective separately in reducing anxiety levels. This study aims to analyze the effect of the combination of the two interventions on the level of anxiety in pregnant women. This study used a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design ( one group pretest and posttest design ) without a control group. The study was conducted in June-July 2024 in the working area of the UPTD Bara Permai Health Center, Palopo City. The sample consisted of 26 pregnant women in the second and third trimesters who were selected using the accidental sampling technique. The intervention was a combination of prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr therapy for four weeks. The instrument used was the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) to measure anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test . The average level of anxiety before the intervention was 28.69 (SD=7.504) and decreased to 20.81 (SD=8.551) after the intervention. The results of the statistical test showed a significant effect (p=0.000) on the level of anxiety of pregnant women before and after being given a combination of prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr therapy intervention. The combination of prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr therapy has been proven effective in reducing anxiety levels in pregnant women. This intervention can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological approach that is safe, easy to implement, and low-cost to overcome anxiety during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters approaching delivery.

The findings suggest that improving compliance requires a multifaceted approach combining education, accessibility, and supportive healthcare systems. This review provides valuable insights for public health practitioners and policymakers aiming to design effective strategies to combat anemia in pregnancy by improving iron tablet compliance. Future research should consider more localized qualitative studies to understand specific community dynamics influencing compliance behaviors.

Enhancing learning outcomes and work readiness through knowledge sharing and training transfer: a qualitative study of sales promoters

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

In informal work environments, such as frontline sales promotion, workplace learning often occurs outside formal training channels. However, limited research has examined how knowledge sharing and training transfer affect individual preparedness for real-world work challenges. This study aims to analyze the role of knowledge sharing and training transfer in enhancing learning outcomes and work readiness among sales promoters at PT Unilever in Kendari City. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved 25 participants—22 sales promoters, one supervisor, one coordinator, and one beauty advisor. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s thematic coding technique. The study found that knowledge collecting occurred through informal peer learning and semi-structured supervisor-led sessions, reflecting principles of adult education and social cognitive theory. In contrast, knowledge donating was inconsistent, hindered by emotional disengagement and lack of organizational support. Training transfer was not automatic and required ongoing peer reinforcement, motivation, and contextual alignment to workplace demands. Learning in this setting is relational and emotionally mediated. Embedding counseling-based strategies such as peer mentoring, reflective dialogue, and feedback mechanisms into training programs can enhance individual development and organizational performance. This study contributes to the counseling and vocational education literature by emphasizing the importance of psychosocial support in knowledge transfer and learning continuity within informal employment settings.

Heny Susilawati, DYP Sugiharto, Sunawan Sunawan, Heru Mugiarso — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Forgiveness is a complex psychological and spiritual process that is very important in the lives of adolescents who are full of interpersonal dynamics and the search for self-identity. This study aims to understand how religiosity, self-esteem, and empathy contribute to the tendency to forgive in adolescents, and how social support moderates this relationship. In the context of Indonesian culture, religious values are often the foundation for moral decision-making, including in the forgiveness process. High self-esteem allows adolescents to respond to interpersonal conflicts with better emotional regulation, while empathy opens up a space for understanding the motives of others that allows forgiveness to develop. This study uses a qualitative approach with a systematic literature study method, reviewing relevant scientific publications from 2013–2023 from various leading academic databases. The results of the review indicate that the three psychosocial variables—religiosity, self-esteem, and empathy—have a positive relationship with forgiveness, and this effect is strengthened by the presence of social support from family, peers, and teachers. Social support acts as a moderator that strengthens the relationship between variables by creating a sense of security, acceptance, and emotional validation that supports the forgiveness process. These findings emphasize the importance of a holistic approach and community-based interventions in developing character education programs for adolescents. This article provides a strong conceptual basis for educators, counselors, and policy makers to build strategies that support the development of forgiveness capacity among Indonesian adolescents.

Zakat in the perspective of qur'an interpretation and sharia economics: a strategic role in poverty alleviation and MSME empowerment

Hermansyah Hermansyah — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Zakat is a fundamental pillar of Islamic economics, serving as a vital instrument for wealth redistribution and poverty alleviation. Its significance aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 on poverty eradication and SDG 10 on reducing inequality. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining Qur'anic exegesis of Surah At-Tawbah verse 60 with empirical data from Indonesia’s National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) 2024 report. The findings reveal a substantial gap between the national zakat potential, estimated at approximately Rp327 trillion annually, and the actual collection, which stands at only Rp26.13 trillion, representing about 8% realization. Despite this gap, productive zakat programs have demonstrated significant socio-economic impact, increasing MSME incomes by up to 40% over two years and contributing to a 1.76% reduction in poverty rates within targeted communities. The study recommends enhancing zakat collection through digitalization and integrating zakat management with national social protection programs to maximize its effectiveness. These strategies are essential to harnessing zakat’s full potential as a socio-economic tool for inclusive and sustainable development in Indonesia.

Asrin Tandi, Naomi Patiung, Machmud Junaidy — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Access to financing remains a major challenge for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in rural Indonesia. The People's Business Credit (KUR) program is present as a government effort to expand access to financing, but credit performance, especially the collectability level is still a concern. This study aims to analyze the effect of customer compliance on the level of credit collectibility of KUR recipients in Lekopancing Village, Maros Regency. This research used an explanatory quantitative approach with a sample size of 200 respondents taken by simple random sampling from a population of 415 KUR customers. The data analysis technique used was Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of AMOS software. The results showed that customer compliance had a positive and significant effect on the level of credit collectibility (standardized coefficient = 0.68; p < 0.001), indicating that the higher the level of compliance, the better the credit quality as reflected in the collectability classification. This finding corroborates the theoretical link between debtor behavior and credit risk management, particularly in the context of rural banking. This study provides an empirical contribution at the micro level that has been under-explored, and emphasizes the importance of improving customer compliance in supporting the sustainability of inclusive financing programs such as KUR. Future research is recommended to explore the application of a mixed-method approach, which combines quantitative and qualitative data, to gain a more thorough understanding of compliance behavior and credit risk.

Hesti S. Ningsih, Azizah Khoiriyati — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

In advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), where kidney function has severely declined, renal replacement therapy becomes essential. This scoping review aims to compare the impact of two common dialysis modalities—hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)—on various aspects of patients' quality of life, including physical, emotional, and social dimensions. This review was conducted using the Population and Concept (PC) framework, which is commonly applied in scoping reviews, and followed the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines for reporting. A comprehensive literature search was performed across four databases: PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The search focused on full-text, English-language articles published within the last ten years. Inclusion criteria included studies involving adult CKD patients undergoing HD or CAPD with quality of life as the primary outcome. Studies were excluded if they involved pediatric populations, case reports, or were not peer-reviewed. Nineteen studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. The findings suggest that CAPD therapy is potentially associated with better physical quality of life compared to HD. However, results regarding emotional and social aspects were mixed, with some studies indicating comparable outcomes between modalities, while others showed conflicting results. Further research is warranted, particularly regarding emotional well-being and social support in CAPD patients. While CAPD may offer certain advantages in physical quality of life, comprehensive comparisons across emotional and social domains remain inconclusive. Limitations of this review include the small number of eligible studies, variation in study designs, and heterogeneity in patient populations. These limitations highlight the need for more robust and standardized research in this area.
