Authors: Sayekti Andita , Suhariadi Fendy , Herachwati Nuri
Published: September 2023

Developed countries have implemented Industry 4.0 in the process and manufacturing industry sectors. Industry 4.0 transformation will positively impact the industry and the country. Indonesia introduced a guide for the industry in transforming to Industry 4.0 in its action for Making Indonesia 4.0. The Indonesia Industry 4.0 Readiness Index (INDI 4.0) is presented to assist the industry in carrying out transformations, with the pillar of human resources as the highest parameter. It is necessary to conduct an early evaluation of the industry to introduce INDI 4.0. This research aims to evaluate the level of industry readiness in transforming to Industry 4.0. The method in this study used a survey of Small and Medium Industries (SMI=IKM) in Bogor City. Three SMIs were selected for interviews according to INDI 4.0 guidelines and Toolbox Industrie 4.0. The evaluation results using the INDI 4.0 guidelines show that SMI A has a higher level of readiness, followed by SMI C and B. In line with the results of the INDI 4.0 assessment, Toolbox Industrie 4.0 also has the same results. SMI A has a higher level of readiness, followed by SMI C and B. In Toolbox Industrie 4.0, there is no element of assessment for human resources due to cultural differences between Germany and Indonesia, which still require special attention for human resources.

Authors: Hermawati Adya , Sembhodo Abimanyu Tuwuh
Published: September 2023

This study examines the implementation of human resource management (HRM) and marketing strategies in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within East Java's tourism sector. The imperative for examination arises from the observation that tourism SMEs in Indonesia have not yet fully regained their pre-COVID-19 pandemic level of recovery. There is also a lack of holistic research of HRM and marketing strategies implementation in SMEs in the tourism sector in East Java. The research involves 1320 respondents from 440 tourism SMEs and utilizes the Path Analysis method. The findings highlight significant relationships between spiritual marketing, innovation culture, quality of work life, and rewards within SMEs. These factors positively influence the market orientation of SMEs, facilitating the development of products and services that meet market demands, enhance customer experiences, and foster competitive advantage. Additionally, the study reveals that the interplay of spiritual marketing, innovation culture, quality of work life, and rewards directly impacts individual performance, consequently leading to enhanced overall SME performance, as measured by marketing performance.This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge in business research, offering valuable insights into the current dynamics of tourism SMEs in the region. Moreover, it provides strategic solutions to address the decline in tourist arrivals post the COVID-19 pandemic.
Entrepreneurial Intention in the Context of College Students in Jakarta: An Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy Mediation
Authors: Fauziyah Qorina Hanni , Pangaribuan Christian Haposan
Published: September 2023

Approximately 80% of university graduates in Indonesia express a preference for pursuing employment within private enterprises as employees rather than embarking on entrepreneurial ventures. According to Hu & Ye (2017), developed countries have a 20% entrepreneurial success rate, greater than the other countries, which only have a 10% success rate. Based on the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs (KemenKopUKM), only 3.47 percent of Indonesians are entrepreneurs. This study aims to investigate whether Proactive Personality has a direct and indirect effect on Entrepreneurial Intention among undergraduates and whether Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy acts as a mediator in this relationship. Data collection in this study used an online questionnaire distributed to students currently studying at public and private universities in the Greater Jakarta area. The data will be processed using SmartPLS software. The results show that a person's proactive attitude positively impacts their intention to start a business. Additionally, the relationship between a Proactive Personality and Entrepreneurial Intention is positively mediated by Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy. The study can contribute to the body of research on the direct or indirect effects of Entrepreneurial Intention, Proactive Personality, and Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy. In addition, the findings of this study provide an essential contribution for the universities to develop self-development strategies for students to increase their interest in starting to build a business.

Authors: Mayangsari Agni Shanti , Rosadi Asep Irpan , Juansih Juansih
Published: September 2023

The importance of public trust in the police cannot be overstated, as it underpins social order, public safety, and the rule of law. Nevertheless, INP is facing its most difficult challenge yet after some senior police officers were involved in premeditated murder and drug trafficking. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an evaluation to improve public trust in the Indonesian National Police. This study aims to analyze the sustainability framework for enhancing public trust in the Indonesian National Police (INP). This research uses a descriptive statistical, qualitative approach with system dynamics modeling. The research was conducted between February to May 2023 with eight experts, including academicians and practitioners. The study findings project that INP public trust has a value of 3.567. Based on the scenario predicting 3.575 in 2027, indicating a medium trust status (level 3). However, there will be a slight decline in INP public trust from 2022 to 2025, followed by a gradual increase from 2025 to 2027, remaining within the medium trust range of 3.558. The repairing of public trust in INP is influenced by various dynamic and uncertain internal and external factors. Despite efforts to improve responsiveness, trustworthiness, and empathy, there is no significant positive trend observed in INP public trust, with only a marginal increase from 3.557 to 3.558 in medium trust level. Thus, the need to implement an accelerated strategy to improve trust becomes very important.

Organisational Image's Moderating Effect on Cynicism and Turnover Intentions in Public Sector Employees
Authors: Budiyanti Riana , Purwono Rudi , Margono Hendro , Teofilus Teofilus
Published: September 2023

This study examines the relationship between organizational cynicism and the intention to leave an organization, emphasizing the moderating role of corporate image. The research explores how organizational cynicism impacts an employee's desire to leave, focusing on how the organization's image might influence this relationship. This study fills a gap by specifically analyzing the interplay of these elements, especially among public sector employees in Indonesia. In this study, the perceived external prestige was an indicator of organizational image. A survey was conducted with 80 public sector employees from a government agency in a district in Indonesia to collect data for this study. Social exchange theory served as the theoretical framework of the investigation. The data were then analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis to determine the regression coefficients, followed by a two-way interaction ANOVA test. According to the data, cynicism is a major predictor of the desire to leave the organization, and organizational image helps mitigate the link between cynicism and intention to leave. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by shedding light on the influence of adverse workplace perceptions on employees' intentions to leave their employers, particularly in public sector firms. Notable because it analyzes the interplay between these variables, this study stands out. Prior research has not investigated all three components concurrently in the manner proposed by the model.

Published: September 2023

The amount of outstanding claims increased, and the Financial Service Authority, known as Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) had regulations to make them keep their performance financial health. The institution also needs to improve its financial performance, which may be affected by financial health. This research aims to find out and analyze the influence of financial health indicators on financial performance. The type of this research is classified as quantitative associative research. The study used secondary data of guarantee institution statistics that includes financial highlight, financial position, comprehensive income, investment portfolio, and operational performance of guarantee institutions for 78 months, from January 2016 to June 2022. This study used multiple linear regression analysis with analytical tools Eviews version 12. The indicator of financial health was using Early Warning System (EWS) and gearing ratio. EWS is proxied through the solvency margin ratio, adequacy of capital funds, incurred loss ratio, and liquidity ratio, while financial performance is proxied through return on asset. The result of this study shows that solvency margin ratio, adequacy of capital funds, and liquidity ratio affect financial performance, while incurred loss ratio and gearing ratio do not affect financial performance.

Published: September 2023

This paper presents a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) designed to comprehensively assess challenges, risks, and threats. In the realm of security and defense, defining these elements is inherently uncertain and complex. The paper addresses this challenge by integrating fuzzy logic into the model. As a pivotal instrument for decision-making, the model not only facilitates the precise identification of challenges, risks, and threats but also provides vital support for the strategic and doctrinal document development process. The methodology proves instrumental in reconciling divergent perspectives, aligning theoretical intricacies with practical applications. By effectively capturing the nuanced interplay between variables, the model offers a dynamic framework that enhances the accuracy and efficiency of security-related decision-making.

COVID-19 vaccines and autoimmune disorders: A scoping review protocol
Authors: Chaufan Claudia , Manwell Laurie , Heredia Camila , McDonald Jennifer
Published: September 2023

BackgroundTwo years into the global vaccination program, important questions about the association between COVID-19 vaccines and autoimmune diseases have arisen. A growing number of reports have documented associations between COVID-19 vaccination and autoimmunity, suggesting, for example, a causal link between vaccination and new-onset and/or relapsing autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Graves disease, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. These autoimmune phenomena have occurred with various COVID-19 vaccines and research is required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and causal directions, for example, whether persons with no history of autoimmune disorders may experience them upon vaccination or persons with autoimmune disorders may experience exacerbation or new adverse events post-vaccination. Methods and analysisSpecific objectives of this scoping review will address the following questions: Can COVID-19 vaccination trigger and/or exacerbate autoimmune disorders? Are persons with autoimmune disorders at higher risk of experiencing additional autoimmune disorders? What are the mechanisms connecting autoimmune disorders with COVID-19 vaccination? Can COVID-19 vaccination interact with immunosuppressive therapy in persons with autoimmune disorders? Does the risk of autoimmune disorders following COVID-19 vaccination differ by vaccine type, age, gender, or other still unidentified characteristics (e.g., SES)? What is the consensus of care concerning COVID-19 vaccination in persons with autoimmune disorders and what evidence informs it? Our review will follow Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) framework, enhanced by Levac et al.’s team-based approach (2010), and adhering to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist. To capture the broadest range of perspectives on the phenomenon of interest, data will be synthesized through numerical summaries describing general characteristics of included studies and thematic analysis. Subgroup analysis of primary outcomes will be performed to compare findings according to 1) the previous existence of autoimmune disorder, 2) the presence of relevant co-morbidities, 3) vaccine type; and other relevant factors that we may encounter as the research proceeds. Significance COVID-19 has triggered the largest vaccination campaign in history, targeting literally the global human community. Drug safety is a crucial aspect of any medical intervention, critical to a proper assessment of the balance of risks and benefits. Our investigation should yield information useful to improve medical and public health practice in multiple ways, including assisting in clinical decision-making, policy development, and ethical medical practice.

Does another pedestrian matter? A Virtual Reality study on the interaction between multiple pedestrians and autonomous vehicles in shared space
Authors: Feng Yan , Xu Zhenlin , Farah Haneen , van Arem Bart
Published: September 2023

This study utilized Virtual Reality (VR) experiments to investigate pedestrian-autonomous vehicle interaction in shared spaces. In the VR experiment, pedestrians attempt to cross the road under different conditions, including the presence of another pedestrian, different external Human-Machin-Interfaces, AV driving styles, and road conditions. We employed an innovative VR setup that enabled two pedestrians to interact in real time with physical movements within an immersive VR environment. Overall, we found that the presence of multiple pedestrians significantly influenced pedestrian movement dynamics during road crossing. Additionally, the relative standing position had a significant impact on the distant pedestrians regarding time before crossing and vehicle-gazing behavior. While previous studies predominantly focused on pedestrian-AV interaction with a single pedestrian, this study takes an important step forward in terms of theory, methods, and relevance by considering interactions between multiple pedestrians and AVs. The findings establish a basis for further exploration of pedestrian-AV interaction in shared space.

Interactions Between Latent Variables in Count Regression Models
Authors: Kiefer Christoph , Wilker Sarah , Mayer Axel
Published: September 2023

In psychology and the social sciences, researchers often model count outcome variables accounting for latent covariates and their interaction effects. Even though neglecting measurement error in such count regression models (e.g., Poisson or negative binomial regression) can have unfavorable consequences like attenuation bias, such analyses are often carried out in the generalized linear model (GLM) framework using fallible covariates such as sum scores. An alternative are count regression models based on structural equation modeling, which allows to specify latent covariates and, thereby, account for measurement error. However, the issue of how and when to include interactions between latent covariates or between latent and manifest covariates is rarely discussed for count regression models. In this paper, we present a latent variable count regression modeling (LV-CRM) framework allowing for latent covariates as well as interactions among both latent and manifest covariates. We conducted three simulation studies, investigating the estimation accuracy of the LV-CRM framework and comparing it to GLM-based count regression models. Interestingly, we found that even in scenarios with high reliabilities, the regression coefficiencts from a GLM-based model can be severely biased. In contrast, even for moderate sample sizes the LV-CRM provided virtually unbiased regression coefficients. Additionally, statistical inferences yielded mixed results for the GLM-based models (i.e., low coverage rates, but acceptable empirical detection rates), but were generally acceptable using LV-CRM. We provide an applied example from clinical psychology illustrating how the LV-CRM framwork can be used to model count regressions with latent interactions.
Average Treatment Effects on Binary Outcomes with Stochastic Covariates
Authors: Kiefer Christoph , Woud Marcella Lydia , Blackwell Simon Edward , Mayer Axel
Published: September 2023

In psychology and other social sciences, the effects of a treatment on a dichotomous outcome variable are often investigated using randomized controlled trials. Often, covariate-adjustment using logistic regression models is applied to examine effect moderation or to increase the power to detect effects by explaining additional variance in the outcome variable. In presence of covariates and treatment-covariate interactions, average marginal effects (AMEs) are preferred over odds ratios, as AME yield a clearer substantive and causal interpretation in these cases. However, standard error computation of the AME neglects sampling-based uncertainty (i.e., covariate values are assumed to be fixed over repeated sampling), which has been shown to underestimate standard errors of AMEs in other generalized linear models (e.g., linear or Poisson regression). In this paper, we present and compare different approaches allowing for stochastic (i.e., randomly sampled) covariates for binary outcomes and demonstrate why they provide improved statistical inferences, especially in presence of treatment-covariate interactions. In a simulation study, we investigate the quality of the AME and stochastic-covariate approaches both with respect to point and standard error estimates in finite samples. Our results indicate, that the fixed-covariate approach provides reliable results only if there is no heterogeneity in interindividual treatment effects (i.e., presence of treatment-covariate interactions), while the stochastic-covariate approaches are preferable in all other simulated conditions. We illustrate our derivations and findings using an illustrative example from clinical psychology investigating the effect of a cognitive bias modification training on posttraumatic stress disorder while accounting for patients' anxiety using a RCT.
Little evidence for a noun bias in Tseltal spontaneous speech
Authors: Casillas Marisa , Foushee Ruthe , Girón Juan Méndez , Polian Gilles , Brown Penelope
Published: September 2023

This study examines whether children acquiring Tseltal (Mayan) demonstrate a noun bias—an over-representation of nouns in children’s early vocabularies. Nouns, specifically concrete and animate nouns, are argued to universally predominate in children’s early vocabularies because their referents are naturally available as bounded concepts to which linguistic labels can be mapped. This early advantage for noun learning has been documented using multiple methods and across a diverse collection of language populations. However, past evidence bearing on a noun bias in Tseltal learners has been mixed. Tseltal grammatical features and child-caregiver interactional patterns dampen the salience of nouns and heighten the salience of verbs, leading to the prediction of a diminished noun bias and perhaps even an early predominance of verbs. We here analyze the use of noun and verb stems in children’s spontaneous speech from egocentric daylong recordings of 29 Tseltal learners between 0;9 and 4;4. We find weak to no evidence for a noun bias using two separate analytical approaches on the same data; one analysis yields a preliminary suggestion of a flipped outcome (i.e., a verb bias). We discuss the implications of these findings for broader theories of learning bias in early lexical development.
Decisions on a platter: Food biases and arousal alter reward learning
Authors: Rouhani Nina , Grossman Cooper D. , Feusner Jamie , Tusche Anita
Published: September 2023

Food seeking and avoidance are powerful drivers of decision-making in healthy and clinical populations. The urge to eat engages primary reward systems in the brain, thought to bias preference for energy-dense or high-calorie food more likely to sate hunger. This process is however interrupted in eating disorders where high-calorie food is avoided. It is nevertheless unclear how innate or learned food biases may interact with general reward processing to predict learning and decisions. We developed a novel paradigm to investigate whether and how biases for high- and low-calorie food alter decision-making in a large sample of participants with typical eating (‘TE’) and disordered eating (‘DE’) behavior. Importantly, food characteristics (high- vs. low-calorie) were completely incidental to the task goal of maximizing monetary reward. An arousal manipulation involving a large monetary win or loss, examined whether heightened arousal, thought to influence goal-directed behavior, enhances the impact of food biases on reward learning. Consistent with prior notions of food-relevant biases, the TE group learned better (i.e., made more correct choices) when high-calorie foods were rewarding while the DE group learned better when low-calorie foods were rewarding. The arousal manipulation boosted this group-dependent bias. Fitting behavior to reinforcement learning models enabled us to identify distinct cognitive components underlying the effect. Specifically, the impact of food-related biases on learning was best explained when accounting for group differences in the initial values and learning rates (for positive prediction errors) for high- and low-calorie foods. In other words, typical and disordered eaters showed differences in their pre-experimental preference for a food type (high- or low-calorie food, respectively), as well as the extent to which they learned from positive outcomes associated with that preference. These findings provide a mechanistic account of how food biases alter reward-based choice, especially under heightened arousal. Our results suggest that interventions altering innate or learned food preference should target habit-directed mechanisms to help mitigate maladaptive eating behavior.
Exploring the Morning Morality Effect in the context of moral utilitarianism: Insights from a post-hoc analysis and a preregistered experimental study
Authors: Trémolière Bastien , Gosling Corentin J
Published: September 2023

Recent research has shown mixed evidence for the morning morality effect (i.e., the observation that individuals are less immoral in the morning than in the afternoon). In the present research, we target the morning morality effect in the context of moral utilitarianism, by reanalyzing observational data previously collected by our lab. These data include different tasks capturing moral utilitarianism (i.e., standard sacrificial dilemmas, an ecological utilitarian scale, and/or dilemmas involving the morality of autonomous vehicles). We report a meta-analysis of 6 studies which showed that participants become less utilitarian as the day goes on, but with a small effect size (r = -0.14) and a large heterogeneity. Exploration of this heterogeneity showed that such a conclusion was statistically significant for classic sacrificial dilemmas only. Notably, even when restricting the analysis to the classic sacrificial dilemmas, a moderate inconsistency remained. Post-hoc analysis of an individual study showed that this small effect did not survive the inclusion of potentially confounding variables, such as psychopathy trait and cognitive reflection. We next conducted an experimental effect of the morning morality effect, exploring the documented moderating effect of chronotype. Results showed no overall effect of time of day on moral utilitarianism. Implications and limitations are discussed.
Depoliticization and the continuity of neoliberal policies
Authors: Mandelkern Ronen
Published: September 2023

The resilience of neoliberal economic policies after the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) is one of the main puzzle political economists have coped with in recent years. In response, various authors have convincingly explained that the crisis did not significantly erode the political dominance of neoliberal ideas, interests, and institutions and therefore their influence on economic policies was maintained. But what explains the resilience of neoliberal policies even when their political dominance is eroded by significant social and political powers that challenge them? I argue that one important factor which supports neoliberal policies in such circumstances is the ideational-institutional depoliticization of economic policymaking. Specifically, the paper focuses on the political influence of neoliberal ideas of government: economic ideas that focus on appropriate decision-making processes rather than on appropriate policies per se, and which have guided the pre-GFC depoliticization of economic decision-making. The paper argues that ideational-institutional depoliticization has restrained the ability and willingness of powerful social and political actors to change neoliberal policies. This argument is demonstrated through a process-tracing analysis of three cases studies in which neoliberal policies were challenged, which took place in Sweden (2014–2018) and Israel (2011–2019).
More than looks: Exploring methods to test phonological discrimination in the sign language Kata Kolok
Authors: Lutzenberger Hannah , Casillas Marisa , Fikkert Paula , Crasborn Onno , de Vos Connie
Published: September 2023

The lack of diversity in the language sciences has increasingly be criticized as it holds the potential of producing flawed theories. Research on (i) more geographically diverse language communities and (ii) sign languages allow to corroborate, sharpen, and extend existing theories. The current paper is the first of its kind to combine both of these aspects. Here, we explore methodological adaptations of well-established experimental paradigms to study the acquisition of sign phonology in a sign language of rural Bali, Indonesia. The first study, a familiarization paradigm, calls for a mixed-methods approach for data analysis; behavioral measures suggest group-differences that remain obscure when only measuring looking time. The second study pilots a novel tablet-based habituation paradigm; it relies on touch-input instead of looking time which promises modality-neutrality. Both studies suggest limitations of these paradigms due to the ecology of sign languages and the sociocultural characteristics of the sample. Alongside methodological innovations of stimuli design, procedure and data analysis, this paper evaluates and discusses the complexity and effectiveness of dual adaptations in order to further advance and diversify the field.

Authors: Joshi KR , Das G , Shrestha A , Khanal LR , Guragain M
Published: September 2023

A cleft lip and/or palate is a congenitally persistent fissure in the upper lip, alveolus, hard palate, or soft palate that can contribute to hearing loss, speech impediment, feeding issues, dental malocclusion, and nasal deformity. The oronasal communication reduces the capacity to produce the essential negative pressure for sucking and causes nasal regurgitation of food and may even lead to choking. The feeding plate seals the fissure and restores the wall separating the nasal cavity from the oral cavity.
