Authors: Hutajulu Dinar Melani , Indrawati Lucia Rita
Published: October 2024

The research aims to see the impact of renewable energy, if it is compared to non-renewable energy in increasing economic growth in Indonesia, over the last few decades, find out the impact of the energy transition that is designated to support sustainable economic growth, and to identify whether non-renewable energy still has a more favorable impact on growth of Indonesian economy. The research employs Indonesian secondary data from 2000 – 2022 that illustrates economic growth, biomass energy, natural gas, oil, fuel, and electricity variables. Data obtained from the publication released by Statistics Indonesia and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Error Correction Model (ECM) is utilized as the analysis tool. The findings suggest that traditional biomass renewable energy has no impact on achieving the expected economic growth in Indonesia as a result of the minimal availability of biomass waste. Meanwhile, natural gas does not have the potential to increase economic growth due to the lack of infrastructure and management of this energy. Oil fuel contributes to reducing economic growth as a result of dwindling availability, fluctuating prices, and high subsidy costs. While electricity drives economic growth, its availability is still far from meeting people's consumption needs. Government policy needs to target the availability of this energy, especially encouraging the production of electricity sourced from available natural resources (renewable).

Using a descriptive research design, a questionnaire was administered to 282 respondents in the Philippines.  The sample size was determined using Slovin's formula and a stratified random sampling technique. Data analysis involved frequency percentage distribution, weighted mean, and analysis of variance (ANOVA).  Findings reveal a significant proportion of respondents as team leaders, holding bachelor’s degrees, and working in professional services firms with more than 151 employees. Effective communication skills emerged as the foremost requirement, complemented by leadership skills that foster enthusiasm and commitment within organizations.  Notably, disparities in employability skills were found when respondents were categorized based on organizations’ sizes. Concurrently, respondents reported challenges in articulating well-defined career objectives and demonstrating adaptability.  These findings underscore the imperative for higher institutions to emphasize curricula that enhance graduates’ employability skills, particularly in communication, leadership, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Universities should tailor their academic programs to strengthen these crucial skills, benefiting both graduates and the professional services industry.  Furthermore, continuous professional development and industry-academic partnerships are recommended to keep curricula aligned with evolving industry needs, ensuring that graduates are well-equipped for the dynamic job market.

Authors: Hermawan Daniel
Published: October 2024

Bandung City Government, in collaboration with the Bandung City Culture and Tourism Office, has implemented the activation of creative tourism urban villages as a strategic measure to promote regional autonomy through the development of the creative economy. Prior studies have not extensively addressed the concept of creative tourism in urban villages as an alternative form of tourism. Therefore, this research aims to explore the involvement of communities in the management of creative tourism urban villages in Bandung, seeing them as the primary stakeholders. The objective of this study is to chart the potential and obstacles facing creative tourism urban villages in Bandung City from the perspective of tourism awareness groups as managers of creative tourism urban villages. The study employed qualitative methodologies with a phenomenological approach, specifically in-depth interviews with managers of creative tourism urban villages, as well as field observations of 8 activated creative tourism urban villages in Bandung city. The activation of creative tourism urban villages in the city of Bandung to promote the sustainable development goal is characterized by three primary themes: community dynamics, infrastructure readiness and external support. Community dynamics refers to the interactions that take place among community members as they collaborate to establish creative tourism urban villages in different regions through stories, conflicts and the active involvement of community members. The availability of infrastructure is contingent upon the presence of tangible assets that facilitate the execution of creative tourism urban village business operations, encompassing aspects such as road accessibility, parking availability, and building structures. Assistance from external entities refers to the support provided by external parties to foster the growth of creative tourism in urban villages, including mentoring, training, sponsorship, and collaboration networks. The activation of creative tourism urban villages needs to be accompanied by community independence and involvement in a bottom-up development process, not just a top-down one, so as to maintain the sustainability of creative tourism urban villages after the government no longer supports activities carried out by tourism awareness groups.

Authors: Son Mihyun , Jho Hunkoog
Published: October 2024

This study explores research trends related to artificial intelligence and digital technology by focusing on four key terms: literacy, artificial intelligence literacy, digital literacy, and knowledge information processing competency. Using the RISS database, we collected papers published over the last 20 years until September 2023 and conducted a quantitative bibliometric analysis. Semantic network analysis was applied to understand the relationships, trends, and characteristics of these concepts. The findings show that digital literacy, data literacy, AI literacy, and knowledge information processing competency all aim to foster creative thinking and are primarily taught at the basic education level, especially for elementary school students, often in convergence education formats. Digital literacy is the most widely taught, covering all age groups and overlapping with other literacies. Data literacy tends to function as a sub-element of digital literacy, while AI literacy overlaps with both digital and data literacy, with the potential for future integration. Knowledge information processing competency is researched independently from the other literacies, showing limited overlap.

Six-week-old ICR male mice were divided into four groups based on dietary and exercise interventions: Group 1 received a protein diet with exercise (PEG), Group 2 received a protein diet without exercise (PNEG), Group 3 was provided with a proteinfree diet with exercise (NPEG) and Group 4 was given a protein-free diet without exercise (NPNEG). After a 6-week experimental period, BDNF, IGF-1, and VEGF mRNA expression levels were analyzed using the Real-Time Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) method. In contrast, the levels of stress-related hormones were measured through ELISA. The results reveal significant impacts of dietary protein intake and swimming exercise on the expression of these critical markers. BDNF and IGF-1 levels were highest in PEG, highlighting the beneficial effects of combining protein intake with swimming exercise. VEGF expression also showed significant differences, particularly between PNEG and NPNEG, and PNEG and PEG. CRHBP, cortisol, and epinephrine levels varied significantly across groups, especially between those subjected to different dietary and exercise regimens. This suggests a strong interaction between protein intake and exercise in modulating stress responses. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that protein intake and swimming exercise synergistically influence the expression of growth factors and stress hormones in mice. These findings provide valuable insights into the physiological adaptations to diet and exercise in mammals, which could inform future research on optimizing dietary and exercise interventions for health and stress management.
Partisan (in)tolerance and affective polarization

Political tolerance of others’ civil liberties is an essential and everyday condition of democratic politics without which citizens cannot engage constructively with those of different views. In this paper, we combine insights from political theory and political behavior to develop and test the concept of ‘partisan intolerance’. We conceptualize partisan intolerance as the gap between a person’s willingness to interfere with contentious activities by in-partisans versus the same activities by out-partisans. Using two pre-registered experiments we find a high degree of partisan intolerance in Britain. Moreover, while partisan intolerance is not associated with abstract measures of political tolerance, we find a strong association with affective partisan polarization. Our findings thus suggest that increasing affective polarization is accompanied by a high degree of intolerance when it comes to one’s political opponents’ basic civil rights, such as freedom of speech and the right to protest.
The Crisis of Misinformation and Dark Creativity

The checkered history of false knowledge, deliberate (disinformation) or otherwise(misinformation), has been long and varied, ranging from propaganda to memes. In recent times,the crisis of misinformation has been amplified owing to multiple agents on social media, usuallycomprising user-driven platforms where unchecked “facts” can be posted. This chapter exploresthe intersection of dark creativity and misinformation, particularly conspiratorial misinformation.Dark creativity refers to the use of ideational processes to meet less desirable (and even harmful)goals. Recent research has also reconceptualized conspiracies as creative narratives, andtherefore, we propose features common to creative and conspiratorial thinking. We also discussfeatures associated with individuals who may be more susceptible to believing and spreadingmisinformation, as well as their creative characteristics. The chapter also proposes ways toemerge from the crisis, harnessing critical thinking skills that can assist in debunking or prebunkingmisinformation.
On the relation between single word and multiple word processing during learning to read

The present study investigates the development of single word processing and multiple word processing skills in French-speaking children from Grade 2 to Grade 6. One hundred and fifty children participated in two tasks: a Lexical Decision Task (LDT) and a Grammatical Decision Task (GDT). The LDT was used to test single word processing abilities whereas the GDT was used to test multiple word processing abilities. Signal detection theory analysis revealed that all children performed well in the LDT, whereas a different pattern emerged in the GDT, where only Grade 4 and Grade 6 children performed above chance in this task. Then, a cluster analysis was used to investigate the relation between LDT and GDT sensitivity. The analysis revealed two clusters that differed in reading fluency and sensitivity in both tasks. Children from Cluster 2, who exhibited the highest sensitivity in the LDT, were the only ones to perform on average above the chance level in the GDT. Moreover, a strong correlation (r = .64) between LDT and GDT performance was found in this group. Finally, we found that a sensitivity of 1.95 in the LDT almost perfectly predicted cluster membership. We estimated that such sensitivity is achieved at Grade 3, suggesting that the ability to process multiple word sequences first requires sufficient efficiency in processing words in isolation. Once this turning point is reached, single word processing skills support the development of multiple word processing, which could take several years to mature fully.
OCD As Aberrant Integration of Uncertainty from Local Goals to Global Goals

Compulsivity is a key feature of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), with compulsions—repetitive, stereotyped behaviors and mental acts meant to relieve distress—often posing significant obstacles to daily function. The last few years have seen increases in compulsive behaviors; yet, the specific mechanisms of compulsions in OCD remain unknown. Previous research holds mixed findings on compulsivity-linked cognitive deficits, and, while many accounts assume compulsions aim to reduce anxiety, most individuals with anxiety do not develop compulsions—suggesting that the anxiety-reduction account is incomplete. A deeper insight into the neural and cognitive mechanisms underpinning compulsions holds immediate potential benefits for improving treatment options for OCD patients. We propose here that one factor in the formation of compulsions is the inability to integrate uncertainty across hierarchical goal levels. Using a predictive inference task with a hierarchical structure relying on local uncertainty reduction (short-term goals) in the service of global uncertainty reduction (long-term goal), we tested local and global learning in OCD patients (n = 20) and healthy age-matched controls (n = 20). Both groups showed the ability to reduce uncertainty locally, learning the statistical structure of the local environment based on observed data; however, only the healthy volunteers showed evidence of integrated learned knowledge at the local level into reducing uncertainty about the higher level of the task hierarchy. We suggest that this indicates a potential mechanism for compulsions that relies on the inability to adaptively prioritize and “toggle” among different local goals in the service of global goals.
