PERAN PEMERINTAH DAERAH DALAM MENDORONG DEKONSENTRASI PENDIDIKAN
Authors: Dian
Published: May 2023

Pendidikan bagi kehidupan masyarakat mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting dalam menjamin perkembangan dan kemajuan kehidupan masyarakat. Pendidikan merupakan masalah yang sangat penting. Betapa tidak, melalui pendidikan manusia dapat tercipta peradaban, dan pendidikan manusia dapat menunjukkan bahwa dirinya adalah manusia yang memiliki hati nurani, etika dan akal sehat. Sebagai langkah maju, pemerintah mengeluarkan UU No. 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional. Selain itu, Pasal 31 Undang- Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 menyatakan bahwa setiap warga negara berhak mendapatkan dan mengikuti pendidikan dasar, dan pemerintah wajib mendukungnya. Peran pemerintah daerah dalam program wajib belajar 9 tahun yang tertuang dalam undang- undang dan peraturan pendidikan, namun dalam pelaksanaannya masih menemui kendala yaitu partisipasi masyarakat dalam pendidikan masih lemah. Hasil dari kebijakan dekonsentrasi adalah terciptanya keseimbangan pembangunan di seluruh wilayah Indonesia. Pemerintah pusat dapat fokus pada masalah yang lebih besar dan kompleks, sedangkan pemerintah daerah dapat menangani masalah yang lebih kecil lebih dekat dengan masyarakat. Namun, kebijakan penggusuran juga menemui beberapa kendala. Salah satunya adalah kurangnya layanan manusia dan administrasi publik yang baik, yang mencegah pengambilan keputusan yang adil dan efektif. Selain itu, terkadang masih terdapat kesenjangan antara daerah penerima hak dan daerah yang tidak mendapatkan hak sehingga menimbulkan kesenjangan pembangunan antar daerah. Untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut, pemerintah akan terus meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan manusia di daerah dan memastikan distribusi kekuasaan antar daerah yang baik dan adil. Dengan demikian, kebijakan pemberantasan dapat efektif dan berdampak positif bagi masyarakat Indonesia. Dari segi hukum sejarah di atas, secara umum dapat dikatakan bahwa skorsing dan skorsing merupakan saudara kembar dalam sistem pemerintahan sipil. Keduanya membangun, mempromosikan, dan mendukung setiap perubahan tata kelola secara umum dan dalam hubungan antar daerah.
Empirical Evidence for the New Definitions in Financial Markets and Equity Premium Puzzle
Authors: Aras Atilla
Published: May 2023

This study presents empirical evidence to support the validity of new definitions in financial markets. The author develops a new method to determine investors' risk attitudes in financial markets. The risk attitudes of investors in US financial markets from 1889-1978 are analyzed and the results indicate that equity investors who invested in the composite S&P 500 index were risk-averse in 1977. Conversely, risk-free asset investors who invested in US Treasury bills were found to exhibit not enough risk-loving behavior, which can be considered a type of risk-averse behavior. These findings suggest that the new definitions in financial markets accurately reflect the behavior of investors and should be considered in investment strategies.

Published: May 2023

The existence of the Sharia Supervisory Board in the Sharia banking GCG structure is a unique feature that distinguishes it from the GCG structure of conventional banks. The inconsistency of the results of previous research related to the relationship between GCG and CSR disclosure is the motivation of this study, in addition to the differences in the progress of Indonesian and Malaysian Islamic banks. The research population of Islamic banking is listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the Malaysia Stock Exchange. Research period on 2016 – 2019 before covid 19 pandemic. The research sample was determined based on purposive sampling, 12 Islamic banks in Indonesia and 14 Islamic banks in Malaysia was selected. The method of analysis is multi group using Partial Least Squares. The results of this study provide empirical evidence that the Sharia Supervisory Board, Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors have not succeeded in playing a role in increasing I-CSR disclosure except for the Independent Board of Commissioners and Independent Board of Directors. The results of the study also have not shown any differences in the influence of GCG on I-CSR in Indonesian and Malaysian Islamic banking.
THE EFFECT OF LACTATION MASSAGE WITH VIRGIN COCONUT OIL ON THE QUALITY OF BREAST MILK IN POST PARTUM : Literature Review
Authors: Publication  , Harahap Juraida Roito , Fathunikmah  , Rismawan Wawan
Published: May 2023

Introduction: National coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in 2018 is 74.5%. Failure to breastfeed can be caused by not releasing breastmilk smoothly. 35% of mothers stop breastfeeding on the grounds that breastfeeding is not smooth so that it cannot meet the needs of their babies. The decrease in milk production and fluency on the first day of post partum can be caused by a lack of the hormones prolactin and oxytocin which play a role in the smooth production and excretion of breast milk. The problem formulation used the PICO method and met the inclusion criteria. Efforts that can be made by midwives to overcome this problem by doing lactation massage, so that the production of breast milk is large and the baby gets adequate and quality breast milk. Objective: To analyze the effect of lactation massage with virgin coconut oil (VCO) on the quality of breast milk in postpartum mothers. Methods: This study uses a literature review method with an online database sourced from Google Scholar, Proquest, Elsevier, Pubmed, Willey and Sage online library. Search strategy by entering keywords lactation massage / breast massage / oxytocin massage / guinea pig massage / breast care, virgin coconut oil, milk breast / milk volume, intervention, quality of milk / milk production / smoothness of milk / milk output / sufficiency of breast milk, postpartum. Determination of the articles to be analyzed using the PRISMA protocol. Results: The results of the literature review analysis of 11 articles found that 8 articles of lactation massage (breast care, oxytocin massage, oxytocin massage, breast massage with sun essential oil, lactation massage with lavender aromatherapy) proved to have an effect on the quality of breast milk seen from the increase in breast milk production and volume of milk after 3 days post partum. Conclusion: The results of a review of the literature review articles recommend that midwives can perform lactation massage in postpartum mothers to improve the quality of breast milk with a combination of sun essential oil and lavender aroma therapy. Further research can be carried out by lactation massage using VCO with a quasi-experimental method.

Exploring a Blended Learning Comprehensive Transformation Process for a Non-Lab Based Graduate Course at UAE University
Authors: Ahmed Khaled Galal
Published: May 2023

Blended Learning (BL) as a teaching method has been conceived to be an efficient replacement for the conventional face-to-face teaching method. This is because it merges between student-instructor in-class interaction and the flexibility of learning outside the classroom’s place and time. United Arab Emirates University has adopted a recent transformation initiative to BL guided by a clear comprehensive strategy and efficiently supportive tools. This research explored the actors, actions, and outcomes of this BL transformative process in one of the pioneering non-lab based master level courses. The research explored the logistics, infrastructure, technical support, and training provided by the UAE University as essential pillars for the BL courses transformation. The assessment of the degree of success of this BL transformation process was undertaken through the assessment of the attainment of the Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), Instructor and Students Opinion Surveys and face-to-face interviews. The results of this assessment process indicate that the comprehensive, well planned, and the efficient technical support for the BL transformation process have resulted in a successful model that might be easily replicated in similar higher education institutions. Still, some technical problems have emerged and solutions have been suggested to them to assure the successful implantation of the BL transformation in other courses.
Validating street-level perceptual attributes with location choice models
Authors: Cox Tomás , Rossetti Tomás , Hurtubia Ricardo
Published: May 2023

Built and natural elements can shape users’ experience and valuation of urban space. Users’ behavior, such as their location choices, can also be affected by their evaluation of street-level perceptual attributes, although this relation is more difficult to measure. We propose a model that tests if the qualitative variables of urban sceneries developed by Rossetti et al (Rossetti, Lobel, Rocco, & Hurtubia, 2019) help explain residential location decisions. We use a bid-auction location choice model to get empirical results from two datasets of located households in the Chilean cities of Santiago and Temuco. Results show significant parameters for street-level qualitative attributes (beautiful, wealthy, etc.), which indicates the importance of this type of information to understand and predict users’ behavior.

Published: May 2023

Objectives: Mutational signatures (MS) are gaining traction for deriving therapeutic insights for immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). We asked if MS attributions from comprehensive targeted sequencing assays are reliable enough for predicting ICI efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: Somatic mutations of m=126 patients were assayed using panel-based sequencing of 523 cancer-related genes. In silico simulations of MS attributions for various panels were performed on a separate dataset of m=101 whole genome sequenced patients. Non-synonymous mutations were deconvoluted using COSMIC v3.3 signatures and used to test a previously published machine learning classifier. Results: The ICI efficacy predictor performed poorly with an accuracy of {0.51}_{-0.09}^{+0.09}, average precision of {0.52}_{-0.11}^{+0.11}, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of {0.50}_{-0.09}^{+0.10}. Theoretical arguments, experimental data, and in silico simulations pointed to false negative rates (FNR) related to panel size. A secondary effect was observed, where deconvolution of small ensembles of point mutations lead to reconstruction errors and misattributions.Conclusion: MS attributions from current targeted panel sequencing are not reliable enough to predict ICI efficacy. We suggest that, for downstream classification tasks in NSCLC, signature attributions be based on whole exome or genome sequencing instead.

Authors: Firat Mehmet
Published: May 2023

The aim of this research was to explore how DAOs, blockchain, NFTs, generative AI, and multimodal learning analytics technologies can be integrated to create a unified open education ecosystem representing a global, seamless, personalized, and democratic education system. The integration of these technologies can help to overcome the challenges faced by today's education systems and enhance accessibility, affordability, and quality of education worldwide. Educational technologies have never been closer to overcoming the issues of democracy and accessible education, which are among the biggest handicaps of contemporary education systems. Moreover, the successful integration of these technologies can create unique opportunities for personalized learning. Initiatives exemplifying this timely paradigm shift, such as The Open Campus project, have already begun to emerge. In this study, the potential uses of these technologies for a unified education ecosystem were examined with a scoping review of 30 most related studies. Afterwards, contributions, possible task distributions, and integration of these technologies were explained using concrete examples and real-world scenarios. At the end of the study, 12 key benefits of this unified open education system were explained: accessibility, personalization, educational quality, security and transparency, democratic governance, intellectual property and content value, open collaboration and integration, equality and equal opportunity, reusability of educational resources, preservation and promotion of cultural and linguistic diversity, innovation and experiential learning in education, and support for student success and career planning.

Cloud Service Marketing Strategy Framework for Higher Value Customer-Segments Deployment
Authors: Alfarisi Omar
Published: May 2023

The cloud service has emerged as one of the 21st-century novel Storage as a Service (SaaS) solutions that eased access to digital storage as needed, with zero maintenance and management efforts on the end users. However, multiple options are currently available with different end-user segments and needs. The service providers would need strategic focus on what segment and feature to target that would be more profitable and attractive to the end users. We analyze the family end-users, compared to corporate and e-commerce, and identified the customer-segment-focused marketing strategy. Although each segment's need differs, the cloud service's capabilities share potential higher value generation to multiple segments. We started by reviewing available strategic marketing analysis techniques to select the best that fits the available data. Finally, we outlined the marketing program and implementation control to deliver growing value to the service provider and end-users.
Viruses interpreted as cell-to-cell communications: an approach to explain infectivity and pathology
Authors: Andras Peter
Published: May 2023

A new variant of the “escape” hypothesis of virus origins is proposed. Viruses are seen as cell-to-cell communications, instead of considering them replication focused packaged short genomes, according to the current mainstream view. It is argued that considering the use of short RNAs and DNAs passed between cells, the persistent presence of some viruses in cells, and the nature of endogenous retroviruses, simple viruses and viroids, possibly viruses serve to pass messages between cells. It is suggested that the useful payload of viruses are the non-structural genomic sequences that are not replication or protection directed. It is proposed that the disease manifestations of viruses are the result of inappropriate responses of cells to the virus, when the cells are not the designated recipients of the viral message. Possible experiments are outlined aiming to check the validity of the hypothesis. The implications of the hypothesis for treating viral diseases are discussed.

A response time selection algorithm for more accurate crowds
Authors: Efendic Emir , Kurz Jacqueline , Goukens Caroline , van de Calseyde Philippe
Published: May 2023

A convenient and effective approach to extract accurate information from groups is to apply the majority rule. Simply put, what most people believe to be a question’s answer often proves to be correct. However, the majority rule has a glaring weakness: in environments where most people are likely to answer a question incorrectly (e.g., extremely difficult questions), the majority answer will typically be incorrect. We address this problem by introducing a simple selection algorithm based on people’s response times that selects more accurate answers - particularly in environments where the majority fails to identify a question's true answer. We propose that, instead of following the majority answer of the entire group for these types of questions, one should follow the majority answer of a smaller selection of group members who took their time to answer the question. With over 10.000 participants responding to 140 general-knowledge questions of various degrees of difficulty (relying on publicly accessible data and data from a laboratory study), we demonstrate that the majority answer of a small crowd of slow-responding individuals is indeed more accurate for such questions than the majority answer of a much larger crowd, or a small crowd of fast-responding individuals. These findings demonstrate how a simple and observable cue of response time can be used as a powerful arbiter of accuracy in environments where most people’s answers are incorrect.
Emotion-Driven Interactive Storytelling: Let Me Tell You How to Feel
Authors: Rico Oneris , Fdez Javier , Witkowski Olaf
Published: May 2023

Interactive storytelling is a form of digital entertainment that has gained attention with the development of creative computational methodologies. However, one of the main problems this field is facing is the poor control that the content creator (e.g. film director or game designer) has over the experience of the user (e.g. viewer or player) once the story starts. Hence, we leverage artificial intelligence to increase the creative control of the content creator by designing a system that guides the user’s emotions towards a particular state as the story unfolds. Specifically, we have developed an EEG-based emotion recognition system trained on EEG recordings acquired from 5 participants watching a selection of 384 videos. The system is able to operate a binary classification on both valence and arousal with an accuracy of 62% and 57%, respectively. A short film was then created, where each scene automatically adapts to the user’s emotion, based on a set of predefined interactions established by the content creator (i.e. the actual film director). The analysis shows that the system not only improves the engagement of the user, but also induces an emotion closer to the one intended and specified ahead of time by the content creator for the story. Our results indicate that there is a practical application of emotion-based studies for future content creators to better control an intended emotional response delivered and received by the audience.
Extraversion, Social Interactions, and Well-Being During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Did Extraverts Really Suffer More Than Introverts?

Published: May 2023

A large body of research suggests that extraversion is positively related to well-being. However, it is unclear whether this association can be explained by social participation (i.e., more extraverted individuals engage in social interactions more frequently) or social reactivity (i.e., more extraverted individuals profit more from social interactions) processes. Here, we examined the role of social interactions for the extraversion–well-being relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented time of reduced social contact. We analyzed data from an international, longitudinal study (Study 1: 10,523 assessments provided by 4,622 participants) and two experience sampling studies (Study 2: 29,536 assessments provided by 293 participants; Study 3: 61,492 assessments provided by 1,381 participants). Preregistered multilevel structural equation models revealed that extraversion was robustly related to well-being, even when social restrictions were in place. Across data sets, we found some support for the social participation hypothesis (i.e., the relationship between extraversion and well-being is mediated by social interactions), but the social reactivity hypothesis (i.e., extraversion moderates the relationship between social interactions and well-being) was not consistently supported. Strikingly, however, exploratory analyses showed that the social reactivity hypothesis was supported for specific facets of extraversion (i.e., sociability) and well-being (i.e., activated positive affect). Moreover, changes in social interaction patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., decreases in face-to-face interactions and interactions with friends) were unrelated to extraversion, and more extraverted individuals did not suffer more from these changes. Taken together, these findings underline the robustness of the effect of extraversion on well-being during a societal crisis.
Preschoolers retain more details from event sequences one week following an in-group demonstration

Published: May 2023

Previous research highlights that the learning processes of preschool-aged children are influenced by the cultural group membership of the information sources. As of yet, however, no study has aimed to explore its influence on the long-term retention of novel information. In the current study, 4-year-old children observed three event sequences that were either demonstrated by an adult speaking their Native language, or a Foreign language speaker. In Experiment 1, children (n = 56) were allowed to imitate the events immediately. Results show that the average number of accurately reproduced details (Native: 3.26 and Foreign: 3.11) and the order of event elements (Native: 1.69 and Foreign: 1.49) did not differ in the two conditions. In Experiment 2, children (n = 56) were only allowed to imitate following a one week delay. In this case, children remembered more details (2.6 in the Native compared to 2.2 in the Foreign) and reproduced the order in the event sequences more accurately (1.18 in the Native compared to 0.87 in the Foreign) following a Native demonstration. The behavior of children in all conditions differed from a baseline group without any instruction (n = 15). These findings show that preschoolers retain more information in the long term in case it was demonstrated to them by a member of their own culture. Importantly, they also learn from people belonging to different cultures – evidenced by both the lack of difference in Experiment 1, as well as the difference between the out-group condition of Experiment 2 and the baseline.

Published: May 2023

The current study aimed to test the feasibility and acceptability of iJobs, an online adaptation of the JOBS II program. iJobs is a two-week internet intervention for the unemployed, consisting of five modules. This study is an open-label trial with an uncontrolled, within-group, pre-posttest, and follow-up design. Out of the 56 participants allocated to the intervention, 36 completed (Mage=25 years; 57.1% females) the post-test (36% dropout), and 34 the three months follow-up. The protocol-compliant participants followed the modules with great engagement (mean quality of assignments completion above 4 points out of 5 for each module). The online platform's usability was high (84.86 points out of 100). Participants reported high overall satisfaction with the program. Our results suggest that iJobs is a feasible intervention and was accepted by its beneficiaries. Relative to baseline, inoculation against setbacks (d = .64), job search self-efficacy (d = .50), and self-esteem (d = .28) increased significantly, while future career anxiety in the COVID-19 context decreased significantly (d = .34). No significant differences were found for depression, anxiety, and job-search behaviors. At three months follow-up, 55.9% of the participants found employment, 5.9% were in a job selection process, and 38.2% were still unemployed. Job satisfaction was high among the employed.
Breaking the Mold: Disability Stereotyping is Shaped by Stigma Characteristics
Authors: Granjon Marine , Odile Rohmer , Popa-Roch Maria , Aubé Benoite , Sanrey Camille
Published: May 2023

The aim of this work was to investigate disability stereotypes as a key aspect of the stigmatisation by considering two of its features, i.e., its visibility, centrally and its controllability, more peripherally. The literature suggests that people with invisible disabilities face more social difficulties than those with visible disabilities. Accordingly, we hypothesised more negative stereotypes towards invisible disabilities. This hypothesis was tested using between- (pilot study) and within-subject (Studies 1a and 1b) designs. Stereotypes associated with disabilities were also measured according to their onset controllability (Study 2). Our results support the hypothesis that stereotypes associated with disabilities vary according to visibility. Specifically, people with invisible disabilities are perceived to be less warm but more competent than those with visible disabilities. These findings highlight the importance of considering the features of a disability when studying stereotypes and stigmatization.
Subjective Wellbeing during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A 3-Year, 35-Wave Longitudinal Study
Authors: Zacher Hannes , Rudolph Cort
Published: May 2023

Numerous studies have examined individual differences in subjective wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic, but few have collected data from the same individuals before the pandemic and at regular intervals across several stages of the pandemic. This article reports the results of a large-scale longitudinal study conducted between December 2019 and March 2022 (26 measurement waves) with N = 979 participants in Germany. Based on event, transition, and adaptation theories, trajectories of subjective wellbeing (i.e., life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect) across multiple infection waves and national lockdowns are hypothesized and tested using discontinuous latent growth curve modeling. In addition, based on the transactional stress model, this study examined how individuals’ COVID-19-specific stress appraisals (i.e., threat, challenge) and coping strategies (i.e., active coping, behavioral disengagement) moderate trajectories of subjective wellbeing. There was evidence for some relatively weak lockdown effects on wellbeing as well as subsequent recovery effects. Evidence for moderating effects of stress appraisals and coping strategies was mixed. Overall, findings of this study suggest that national lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic had negative, albeit on average relatively weak, effects on life satisfaction. Moreover, certain stress appraisals and coping strategies might help individuals maintain wellbeing in times of crisis.

Authors: Joshi Purushottam , Suwal Rinkal , Shrestha Pranav
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Jensen procedure is done for correcting large amount of esotropia and improving abduction in complete abducent nerve palsy. It is a modified form of transposition surgery where the superior, inferior, lateral rectus muscles are split longitudinally and their lateral halves are respectively joined to the superior halves and inferior halves of lateral rectus with non-absorbable sutures. The study was done to find the surgery outcome of Jensen Procedure in complete abducent nerve palsy.
Methods and Materials: A retrospective study of complete abducent nerve palsy of greater than six months duration that underwent Jensen Procedure was performed. Preoperative deviation and postoperative deviation at six weeks and three months were measured and analyzed.  Clinical photography and diplopia charting of each case was done before surgery, and postoperatively at three months follow up in all cardinal gazes. 
Results: Eight eyes of eight patients with the mean age 38.50 ± 22.32 years (16 - 83) underwent medial rectus recession with muscle union (Jensen’s) procedure. Three right eyes and five left eyes were operated. The preoperative esodeviation reduced from mean preoperative 74.37±28.21∆ (30 - 120∆) base out to mean post-operative 12±12.29∆ (-8 – 30∆) base out. The abduction deficit improved from mean preoperative -3.75 ± 0.46 (-4 to -3) to postoperative -1.87 ± 0.99 (-3 to 0).  All cases were satisfied with their ocular alignment and cosmesis.
Conclusion: The Jensen Procedure can successfully correct the large amount of deviation due to complete abducent nerve palsy with improvement in functionality, abduction deficit and cosmesis.

Published: May 2023

Background: Alcoholism, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a broad term for any drinking of alcohol that results in mental or physical health problems like anxiety, dependence and depression. The present study was conducted with an aim to determine the association between alcohol dependence and depressive episode before and after treatment for alcohol dependence.

Materials and Methods: An observational study was conducted among all diagnosed alcohol dependent and depressed patients aged more than 18 years, attending to Psychiatry OPD of a Medical College in Kolkata for a period of one year. After getting permission from the local ethics body, initial assessment was done on first visit of the patients to the psychiatry OPD with a semi structured questionnaire for socio-demographic profile and using AUDIT, CIWA and HAM-D 17 scale for their mental status. Further assessments were done in between day 14 to day 16, next in between day 30 to day 35 and final assessment was done after 2 months using same scales. Relationship between depression with alcohol dependence were determined by Pearson corelation test and represented in the form of table and scatter plot. Changes in mean score of different scales before and after treatment was assessed by paired t test considering confidence interval (CI) of 95% and p value ≤ 0.05 as significant.

Result: Out of 70 patients, almost 90% of them were below the age 45 years with male preponderance (94.3%). Paired t test result showed, association of mean scores of different scales, before and after treatment of dependence was statistically significant (p=0.00). Mean AUDIT score, mean CIWA score and mean HAM score for the patients were found to be decreased with advancement of treatment.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the appropriateness of the legislative regulation of the protection of a member of an independent administrative body exercising public oversight over a certain agenda or institution in the event that it makes an illegal or factually incorrect decision, in terms of the practical problems that this regulation raises. Put simply, it is a question of who is watching the watchdog. If the gatekeeper is complicit in an illegal decision or maladministration, who will drive him or her to seek justice? And is the protection of the holder of a public office sufficient? The research will be conducted on an illegal decision of the Czech Television Council that has been subject to judicial review by the Czech administrative courts.

In the light of this background, the focus of this article is on 3 (three) issues namely: the MPR's authority to interpret the constitution, the construction of ius constitutum providing statements by the MPR in reviewing laws in the Constitutional Court, and the reconstruction of the ius constituendum model of providing information on requests for review of laws law in the Constitutional Court. This article is a legal research with a reform-oriented research type with statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. Based on this research, several things were found, namely: (1) the People’s Consultative Assembly has the authority to interpret the constitution based on Article 3 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia; (2) the construction of the ius constitutum position of the People’s Consultative Assembly in the petition for review of a law at the Constitutional Court is derogated by the exclusion of the MPR as giving explanation in Constitutional Court Law Number 6 Year 2005; (3) at the ius constituendum level, the involvement of the People’s Consultative Assembly in carrying out originalism interpretation of the constitution can be realized through the provision of explanation in a tripartite manner, namely the Government and/or the DPR as legislators and the People’s Consultative Assembly as the framers of the constitution. This article provides recommendations for the need to amend the provisions of the Constitutional Court's procedural law, so as to provide space for substantive participation for the MPR in providing an interpretation of its constitution.
Using the Factor Tree Strategy to Overcome Learning Difficulties for Junior High School Students in Helping to Solve Square Roots
Authors: Sabani Ade Mahmud Eka
Published: May 2023

The problem in the research is the difficulty of students in solving problems of the square root of integers (perfect squares) and cube roots of integers (cubic numbers) using an algorithm strategy better known as porogapit. This problem was obtained when giving tutoring to several junior high school students in Purworejo. The algorithm or porogapit strategy was taught when I was in elementary school. Still, as the learning model developed, the strategy could have been more efficient and took a long time. Only a few students remembered the strategy. Today's students even use a trial-and-error strategy: try the same multiplication number one by one or raise the numbers sequentially until the number in question. The trial and error strategy solved only the square root of integers (perfect square). In contrast, when there was a problem with the square root of imperfect integers (irrational squares), they still had difficulty solving it. The results showed that it was easier for students to master the factor tree strategy in solving square root problems than the algorithmic and trial-and-error strategies. Furthermore, the factor tree strategy can assist students in solving the square root problem, both the square root of perfect integers and the square root of imperfect numbers (irrational squares).

This research is motivated by previous researchers and the facts in the field that students’ mathematical communication skills have not been trained properly, and there are various levels of difficulty experienced by students in learning mathematics, while the influencing factor is one of the affective aspects, namely self-regulated learning. This study aims to describe students’ mathematical communication skills in terms of self-regulated learning. The subjects of this study were 60 students of MAN Simalungun class X. The method used in this study is a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The instrument in this study is a written test of mathematical communication skills and a non-test in the form of a self-regulated learning questionnaire. The results showed that: 1) there were significant differences in mathematical communication skills between students with low, medium, and high self-regulated learning categories; 2) there are significant differences in students’ mathematical communication skills in terms of the dimensions of self-regulated learning, namely motivation; time management; self-testing; and using academic resources. This research is a basic reference to reveal the relationship between mathematical communication skills and students’ self-regulated learning abilities.
