Authors: Nugroho Annisa Shabrina , Yuliati Lilik Noor , Taryana Asep
Published: January 2025

Annually, private elementary schools increase, signifying heightened competition. Schools make diverse efforts to sustain themselves. One research focus is school choice decisions. The research objectives are to analyze the factors influencing the private school choice decision and develop strategies to increase the number of students through the choice decision of private primary schools. They are employing a quantitative approach through a survey method with 87 parents or guardians of SDIT Mauritaniyyah students for PLS-SEM analysis. Surveys were also conducted with five experts for the AHP technique, involving school principals, vice heads of public relations, primary school supervisors, education practitioners, and academic educators. The research results indicate that the marketing mix significantly influences the school image and the choice decision of private primary schools. Religiosity and reference group do not significantly influence the choice decision of private primary schools, whereas the school image significantly influences the choice decision of private primary schools. In order to increase student enrollment, strategies prioritize enhancing the school image, exceptionally competent human resources in their fields with a focus on the people aspect, and emphasizing the development of high-quality teachers.

Published: January 2025

Many teachers still have difficulty implementing learning strategies that can develop historical thinking skills, such as critical, analytical, and reflective thinking. This study aims to create a curriculum programmed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. This study uses qualitative research with a descriptive approach and the naturalistic inquiry research method. The research data were obtained from observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques include data collection, reduction, presentation, and concluding. The results of this study show that curricular learning consists of an assessment of history teaching and learning activities integrated into the learning process, and a structured summative assessment schedule is determined according to its evaluation. Implementation barriers and solutions will be seen when the RPP or teaching modules are not applied in classroom learning activities. Therefore, the Merdeka Curriculum must implement ATP, CP, and teaching modules. The Merdeka Curriculum provides more space for a learning approach emphasising critical thinking. This allows students to delve deeper into historical analysis and source evaluation and understand the historical context more deeply. The study concludes that the Independent Curriculum improves the quality of history learning in high schools, focusing more on critical thinking and analysis skills.

Published: January 2025

Reading comprehension ability is something that students need to master, but students' interest and ability in reading comprehension in Indonesia is still very low. This is partly caused by the less than optimal use of methods or media used by teachers. This research aims to determine the effect of video-assisted guided reading methods on elementary school students' reading comprehension abilities. The method used in this research is a Quasi Experimental method with a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design research design. The research sample consisted of 250 elementary school students who met the researchers' criteria. Data collection techniques in this research are tests, observation sheets and documentation studies. The instrument used is a text that has 2 topics, namely natural disasters and social inequality. Meanwhile, the data analysis used is the t test and regression test. The t-test was carried out to determine the effectiveness of the guided reading method. Apart from that, standard regression test data analysis was also carried out to see which type of understanding was superior, textual or inferential based on the type of text. The research results showed that the reading comprehension ability of students who received guided reading method intervention experienced a significant increase. Improved comprehension skills were seen in textual and inferential comprehension. Apart from that, readers with good inferential abilities also have a good level of comprehension. In contrast to readers whose understanding is textual, they have a good level of understanding only in the textual aspect.

Published: January 2025

Indonesian students' PISA results in the field of mathematics are still relatively low and students are not yet accustomed to questions characterized by real contexts such as PISA questions, so students often make mistakes in solving PISA model questions. This research aims to describe students' mistakes in solving PISA model questions in the content domain. in terms of learning style. This research is an exploratory descriptive research with a quantitative and qualitative approach. The sample in this study was high school students. The sample in this research was determined using techniques stratified proportional random sampling. Data analysis was carried out by calculating the percentage of errors based on student test results, testing differences in the number of students' errors in solving PISA model questions in terms of learning styles using the Anova test. The research results show that overall, the errors of students with a visual learning style are in the medium category while the errors of students with auditory and kinesthetic learning styles are in the high category. However, inferentially, there is no significant difference in the number of student errors in solving PISA model questions between students with visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. Therefore, this study suggests that teachers should provide non-routine questions in learning. This is to reduce errors made by students when solving problems. In other words, giving non-routine questions can improve students' problem solving abilities. The implications of this research are able to identify types of errors based on student learning styles, so that the learning interventions provided can be more targeted and effective.

Published: January 2025

Differentiated learning that is integrated with social-emotional development in Vocational High Schools (SMK) is a relevant approach to facing the challenges of 21st century education. However, implementing this strategy often faces various obstacles, such as teachers' lack of understanding of the concept of differentiation, limited resources, and difficulty integrating social-emotional aspects into competency-based learning. This research aims to describe the development of teaching modules with a differentiation and socio-emotional approach in learning at vocational schools. This research consists of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation stages using the ADDIE development method with a mixed-method approach. The research participants were one teacher and 27 class XI students at a vocational school in Central Java. The research instruments are learning style tests, questionnaires and observation sheets. Data collection through interviews, tests, observations and surveys. Interview data were analyzed using theme analysis, while quantitative descriptive analysis used student learning style data, expert validation and user evaluation. Results of this research found that the success of this implementation was greatly influenced by school management support, availability of resources, and sufficient time for learning planning. These results conclude that social-emotional integrated differentiated learning has great potential to be implemented in vocational schools, but requires a clear framework, continuous training, and collaboration between educational stakeholders to achieve optimal results.

Published: January 2025

This research is motivated by problems in the field which show that the curriculum in schools has not optimally honed students' high-level thinking abilities. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of a multidimensional curriculum in improving high school students' higher order thinking skills. The approach used in this research is a quantitative approach. The method used is quasi-experimental by testing a multidimensional curriculum model integrated with scientific, creative and future thinking competencies in the experimental group and comparing it with the control group. The participants involved were 300 high school students spread across 7 schools. The instrument used to measure students' thinking skills is a questionnaire that contains three dimensions, namely scientific, creative and future thinking. The scientific thinking dimension contains inquiry skills, the creative thinking dimension contains ways of solving problems, and the future thinking dimension contains individual views and time. The results of the study showed that the high-level thinking skills in the experimental group experienced more significant improvement compared to the control group. The dimensions of ability that experienced the most significant increase were future thinking skills and creative thinking skills. A multidimensional curriculum model must be accompanied by innovative and creative learning strategies or methods that encourage higher order thinking skills in students of various ages. The implication of this research is that the multidimensional curriculum model can be used at the secondary school level in order to improve higher order thinking skills.

Published: January 2025

This study explores the geometric concepts within the architecture of Ijo Temple, a significant cultural heritage site in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, through the ethnomathematics framework. Previous research has examined mathematical elements in various temples, but Ijo Temple's geometric aspects remain underexplored. Addressing this gap, the study employs an ethnographic approach to identify and analyze the temple's geometric principles, aiming to enhance mathematics education through culturally contextualized learning. Using qualitative methods, including observation, interviews, and documentation, the data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with findings validated by expert triangulation. The study identifies geometric sub-concepts such as planar geometry (triangles, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, circles), spatial geometry (cubes, rectangular prisms, cylinders), geometric transformations (translation, reflection, dilation), and congruence principles. The research underscores the potential of integrating cultural heritage into mathematical learning, promoting deeper engagement and understanding of mathematical concepts through the cultural context of Ijo Temple. This approach not only enriches mathematics education but also contributes to the preservation and appreciation of cultural heritage.

Authors: Qumariyatul Intani  , Yuliyanto Eko , Winaryati Eny , Guarin Rica Mae
Published: January 2025

Climate change represents a critical global challenge with profound impacts on human societies. One prominent strategy to mitigate its effects involves fostering low-carbon behavior, often termed low-carbon literacy. Although prior research has investigated various aspects of low-carbon literacy, there has been limited focus on high school students in Central Java, a region acutely impacted by climate change. This study evaluates the low-carbon literacy of high school students in Central Java, Indonesia. Using a validated survey instrument, the research measured three primary domains: knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, through 31 items. The study sampled 400 high school students, revealing an overall literacy score of 4.3 out of 5 across these domains. Despite the relatively high average score, each domain exhibited specific deficiencies, underscoring the necessity to enhance low-carbon literacy further. A significant limitation of this study is the instrument's contextual specificity to Central Java, which calls for the development of more comprehensive assessment tools and the inclusion of a more geographically diverse sample in future investigations.
Neo-Roman Socialism
Authors: Graemer Dennis
Published: January 2025

One of the most powerful arguments against socialism consists in the claim that it is incompatible with liberty. In the works of F.A. Hayek, this argument is developed in a sophisticated and systematic manner. Hayek’s attempt to prove the incompatibility of socialism and freedom relies on a concept of liberty that derives from the tradition of classical republicanism, and bears significant resemblance to the one used by current neo-republicans. To be free means not to be ruled in an arbitrary manner, not to be ruled by people, but by laws. Socialism however, Hayek claims, implies the direct and discretionary rule of bureaucrats over the whole economy, and thereby violates liberty.
The paper will examine this argument in detail, illuminate its connection to republicanism, and refute it. Such a refutation will not be directed against the concept of liberty employed by Hayek; instead, it will be shown that socialism properly implemented can conform to the demands of Hayek’s liberty.
Beauty Vlogger Fiani Adilaa dan Pembentukan Narasi Kecantikan
Authors: Pradita Rahmalia Yossy , Purwo Saputro Edy
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the role of Fiani Adilaa, an Indonesian beauty vlogger, in shaping perceptions of beauty standards among Communication Studies students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with five students who actively follow Fiani Adilaa's content. The findings reveal that Fiani Adilaa's content not only delivers beauty tutorials and product reviews but also constructs an inclusive narrative of beauty through the promotion of self-love and self-acceptance. These messages influence audiences to perceive beauty as personal and authentic, reducing societal pressure to conform to narrow beauty standards. However, the study also identifies the dual influence of social media, which simultaneously reinforces idealized beauty standards while creating space for more realistic perspectives. This research highlights the potential of beauty vloggers as agents of change in broadening societal views on beauty, particularly in the context of digital mass communication. These findings provide a foundation for further studies on the influence of social media in shaping societal constructs of beauty standards.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates the key indicators of interest and motivation in mathematics learning using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate their relevance and reliability. Conducted in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, the research involved 111 junior high school students selected through cluster random sampling. Two latent variables were examined: interest, represented by four indicators (feeling of happiness, student curiosity, student attention, and student involvement), and motivation, represented by five indicators (perseverance, tenacity, sharpness of attention, achievement, and independence). Results revealed that only student curiosity (KMO = 0.611) and student involvement (KMO = 0.507) were valid indicators of interest, while perseverance (KMO = 0.685), tenacity (KMO = 0.628), and sharpness of attention (KMO = 0.616) were valid indicators of motivation. The validated indicators highlight the intrinsic and participatory nature of engagement, emphasizing the importance of fostering curiosity, involvement, and resilience in mathematics learning. The findings contribute to the theoretical integration of interest and motivation as interconnected constructs and offer practical implications for designing targeted instructional strategies. This study provides a robust framework for understanding student engagement in mathematics and serves as a foundation for future research on contextual and longitudinal dynamics of these constructs.

Morirse, salirse, comerse y otros pseudorreflexivos sin motivación argumental
Authors: Guzmán Martha
Published: January 2025

Dt. er geht weg kann auf Französisch und Spanisch mit einer eingeschobenen Partikel ausgedrückt werden: fr. il s'en va, sp. él se va, wörtlich übersetzt: er geht sich. Diese Partikel ist formal identisch zu den Reflexivpronomina, ihre Funktion ist jedoch nicht eindeutig bestimmbar. Nichtsdestotrotz ist ihre Verwendung hoch frequent und sehr alt. Das Werk beschäftigt sich mit folgenden Fragen: Welche Verben und semantischen Gruppen werden mit dieser Partikel verwendet? Funktioniert sie in verschiedenen romanischen Sprachen und in verschiedenen Territorien gleich? Seit wann findet das Verfahren Anwendung? Nimmt es im Lauf der Zeit zu oder ab? Passiert etwas Ähnliches in anderen Sprachfamilien? Warum und wozu? Inwiefern wenden es die Sprecher:innen bewusst an? Junto a verbos del español y del francés, como morirse o se
fumer, pueden aparecer las partículas me, te, se, etc., sin ser exigidas por la sintaxis ni deberse a una merma argumental. Pero ¿qué otros verbos se comportan así hoy en estas lenguas? ¿Varían los verbos o su frecuencia de una lengua o variedad diatópica a otra? ¿Cuál es la historia de estas formas? Qué puede motivar este uso? Este libro ofrece elementos para responder a estas preguntas y resume los ejemplos actuales y el tratamiento del tema en dichas lenguas. Nos apoyamos, en especial, en el estudio de corpus (actuales y del pasado) de diversas regiones, en la refl exión sobre la evolución y rasgos del fenómeno y en la comparación entre francés y español. Al estudiar las motivaciones del fenómeno, contrastamos con lenguas eslavas.

Published: January 2025

Ringe aus gefügeoptimiertem, reaktionsgebundenem Siliciumcarbid werden häufig in axialen Gleitringdichtungen eingesetzt.
Es wird ein 3D-gedrucktes, reaktionsgebundenes Siliciumcarbid vorgestellt. Der neue Werkstoff unterscheidet sich herstellungsbedingt in seiner Mikrostruktur, ermöglicht jedoch die Darstellung sehr viel komplexerer Geometrien und damit auch eine aufwendigere Gestaltung von Dichtungsringen. Aus diesem Grund wurden erste vergleichende Tests auf einem Gleitringdichtungsprüfstand durchgeführt, und es wurde das Verhalten unter Mangelschmierung getestet. Die Ergebnisse werden präsentiert.
Eine erste Modellstudie wird vorgestellt mit dem Potential, Ringe mit zusätzlichen Funktionalitäten herzustellen; ein einfacher Modellring mit inneren Strukturen, mit Strömungskanälen wird gezeigt.
Erste Ideen für Zusatzfunktionen werden zur Diskussion gestellt und müssen natürlich von Dichtungskonstrukteuren bewertet werden hinsichtlich ihres Potentials, aufwendige Metall-Keramikkonstruktionen zu vereinfachen, und die daraus resultierenden Probleme zu eliminieren. Sie haben das Potential zum Problemlöser.
Der 3D-Druck von Siliziumcarbid als möglicher Problemlöser wird vorgestellt.
Exploring the EU’s polyhedral peace mediation in Ethiopia and Sudan: Can the EU be a suitable peacemaker?
Authors:   Independent consultant specializing in peace mediation, conflict resolution, EU foreign policy, and EU-Africa relations, Sastre Bel Antoni
Published: January 2025

This paper examines EU engagement in peace mediation in sub-Saharan Africa, and specifically in Ethiopia’s Tigray war and the conflict in Sudan. It uses the analytical framework of “multi-mediation” to map, classify and analyse the mediation-related initiatives carried out by the EU. The ultimate goal is to defend the use of peace mediation as a cost-efficient and less coercive foreign policy tool, well-suited to safeguarding the EU’s peace and security interests in the African continent. The conclusion presents three main points: a) the EU is well-equipped to engage in mediation and be considered a “multi-mediator”; b) the EU has structural limitations which prevent it from fully mobilising these capacities and from leading mediation efforts; c) the EU is uniquely well-placed to leverage its resources and support mediation through a nuanced normative approach that can positively impact peace processes.
COVID-19 Pandemic, Cost Stickiness, and Profitability
Authors: Galuh Aninditiyah  , Ronny Prabowo
Published: January 2025

Cost stickiness refers to an increase in costs when activities increase more than a decrease in costs in response to a decline in activities of the same magnitude. In this respect, managers play a crucial role in resource adjustment decisions, and various factors affect these decisions, including managerial optimism. In turn, managerial optimism is affected by economic conditions and economic crises, including the latest one affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This will greatly reduce managerial optimism and motivate them to reduce greater resources when sales decline, even greater than the sales decline. Accordingly, this study tests the relationships between The Covid-19 pandemic, cost stickiness, and profitability of Indonesian listed firms in 2018-2020. We find that (1) firms reduce SG&A costs more to respond to sales decline during The Covid-19 pandemic, and (2) firms experiencing sales decline during The Covid-19 pandemic even exhibit better financial performance. Thus, this study indicates that higher profits are not always affected by increased income but also probably by cost decline that is greater than sales decline.

Elisabeth Francart, “Madame Disdéri”, una pionera de la fotografía borrada por la historia (y por un raspador)
Authors: Cano Díaz Emiliano
Published: January 2025

Eclipsada por la fama de su marido, Elisabeth Francart, Mme Disdéri (c.1818-1878), es conocida principalmente por su actividad como fotógrafa en la localidad de Brest (Bretaña) a partir de 1850. A su importancia como mujer pionera en regentar diversos estudios fotográficos a su nombre, esta investigación recupera ahora su intensa e inédita actividad como socia, administradora y fotógrafa en Disdéri & Cie, el famoso establecimiento abierto por su marido André en París en los años de la implantación y triunfo de las cartes de visite. Esta relevante participación, que presenta a la fotógrafa como co-responsable en el éxito del revolucionario formato, ha sido ignorada por la historia a la vez que se magnificaban los merecimientos de su marido –del que se encontraba separada–. En la misma línea, el nombre de Mme Disdéri llegó a ser raspado metódicamente de las cartes de visite que reconocían la autoría de su trabajo.

In vivo testing is a crucial part of product development. Most in vivo toxicology studies are conducted in a heavily regulated environment, in accordance with sound scientific principles, and in an ethical manner. Statistical methods are an important component of these scientific principles, and many regulatory authorities provide guidelines or recommendations for statistical analyses and reporting. We propose a rigorous and comprehensive statistical approach to assess the impact of smoke exposure during in vivo comparative studies using statistical equivalence with variable equivalence limits based on historical data. The analysis enables comparison of the effect of a new/test aerosol to its reference/control while leveraging information about reference item variation across multiple studies. This approach is helpful in assessing the relevance of observed effects while incorporating sources of variability estimated using data from the current and previous experiments. The proposed method was used to analyze an OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) 90-day inhalation study to determine the effects of exposure to smoke emitted by the new 1R6F reference cigarette as compared to the older 3R4F reference cigarette. Data from previous OECD 90-day in vivo studies using 3R4F cigarette smoke were used to improve our assessment of the effects observed in the current study.

Introduction

The hypothalamic neuropeptides kisspeptin-10 (KiSS-10), neurokinin B (NKB), and dynorphin A (Dyn A) play roles in the endocrine regulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian (HPO) axis in puberty. Livestock’s timely attainment of sexual maturity increases reproductive efficiency and raises profitability. The pituitary relationship between these neuropeptides and gonadotropins in puberty in ewes being undercharacterised. The aim of the study was to analyse their direct effect on gonadotropin secretion by pituitary cells isolated from pubescent ewes.

Material and Methods

Cells were incubated in McCoy’s 5A medium, either without neuropeptides (as the control) or with 10−11, 10−10, 10−9, 10−8 and 10−7 M of KiSS-10, NKB and Dyn A. After 4, 12 and 24 h, the luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) concentrations were analysed by ELISA using species-specific antibodies.

Results

Greater LH and FSH secretion was observed after the 4–24 h exposure to respective 10−11–10−8 M and 10−11–10−7 M concentrations of KiSS-10. Moreover, NKB and Dyn A applied in the concentration range elevated the secretion of both LH and FSH throughout the experiment. Dynorphin A had the most significant effect on gonadotropin secretion at all the concentrations used. In contrast, the most pronounced dose-dependent neuropeptide effect throughout the experiment on the FSH secretion was attributed to NKB.

Conclusion

Kisspeptin-10, NKB and Dyn A had a direct impact on gonadotropin secretion by ovine pituitary cells. However, a detailed explanation of their role in gonadotropin secretion by the anterior pituitary gland in sheep and of their impact on the regulation of the HPO axis during sexual maturation or in the pathomechanism of delayed puberty require further studies.

This study aims to analyse the factors influencing the adoption of cloud-based accounting in the Indonesian banking sector. The sample size in this study was 80 respondents of Indonesian banking employees who implemented cloud-based accounting through Google Forms. The data was processed using SmartPLS 4 with SEM-PLS analysis. The results showed that human and organisational factors significantly affect the adoption of cloud-based accounting. On the other hand, technological, environmental, and perceived trust factors are insignificant to adopting cloud-based accounting. This study can contribute to human and organisational factors that can influence developments in the application of cloud-based accounting in the banking sector. In contrast, technological and environmental factors must be considered by banks and the Indonesian government, especially clarity regarding data security protection from cloud adoption to provide confidence to users of cloud-based accounting applications.
