Authors: Adara Reza Anggriyashati , Victorynie Irnie , Hamer Welliam , Rohimajaya Nur Azmi
Published: December 2024

Immersing learners in English can be a strategy to improve their autonomy in in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning. The objective of the present study is to analyze the improvement in factors related to learners’ autonomy after the English camp, one of types of language immersion programs. This study used a convenience sampling method. The participants consisted of thirty high school students. Therefore, the present study employed a quantitative research design by distributing a set of questionnaires before and after an-eight-day English camp program. The results suggest that the most salient factor that improves after the treatment is ‘important strategies’  (m=3.6 to m=3.75) while factors related ‘the learners’ sense of self-efficacy’ (m=3.75 to m=3.91) and ‘the role of teacher’ (m=3.47 to m=3.5) do not suggest a drastic increase. In contrast, the items related to ‘the role of the feedback’ (m=3.77 to m=3.58) show a decline. In this sense, the participants seem able to employ various important strategies to advance their language learning progress and improve their confidence while finding the roles of feedback they obtained during the program lessened. The results of this study imply the needs to provide comprehensible inputs to the students so that they can enhance their autonomy. The next study should involve the investigation of the effects of comprehensible inputs in an English camp toward learners’ autonomy.

Published: December 2024

The media, in constructing the reality of problems in the news, certainly has their own point of view. Media content is not a reflection of the reality of what is actually happening, but has been formed by the media itself with the background of the ideology and interests of the media concerned. This research aims to analyze how infrastructure damage in mass media news with an emphasis on aspects of public interest. Through the framing analysis approach, this research tries to examine the way the mass media frames the issue of road damage, including the causal factors, the impact felt by the community, and the proposed solutions. The research method used is a qualitative method to analyze news articles related to road damage in Bengkulu Province from the media source TribunBengkulu.com. Several news articles were analyzed to identify the framing patterns used by the media. The results showed that TribunBengkulu.com tends to highlight road damage in Bengkulu Province as a significant problem for people's daily lives, with an emphasis on the importance of immediate repairs and the responsibility of the local government. The implications of these findings are the need for framing that takes into account the interests of the public in presenting accurate and relevant information about road damage, as well as the importance of an honest and fair role of the media in building awareness and support.

Practical implications – the findings suggest that incorporating advanced methodologies can improve business valuations, leading to better decision-making and a deeper understanding of market dynamics and intrinsic value.
Originality/Value – this study uniquely examines the transition from traditional to modern valuation methods, highlighting the superior performance of neural networks and the need for a multifaceted approach to business valuation.
Low-emission wollastonite clinker and its effect on the properties of cementitious binders
Authors: Polniaszek Izabela , Winnefeld Frank , Pichniarczyk Paweł , Ostrowski Mikołaj
Published: December 2024

The aim of the investigation was to synthesise clinker based on wollastonite and carbonate it afterwards to be used as a potential new supplementary cementitious material. The clinker was burned in a semi-industrial rotary kiln with a capacity of approx. 50 kg/h at 1240 °C using secondary raw materials. The synthesised clinker was composed mainly of rankinite and pseudowollastonite, which are carbonatable. The burned clinker was treated by direct carbonation in a wet process. The carbonation products included calcium carbonate in various polymorphic forms, as well as an amorphous phase, mainly amorphous silica. The latter can react as a pozzolan in blends with Portland cements. The use of the carbonated clinker as supplementary cementitious material can lead to lower CO2 emissions compared to plain Portland cement, due to the lower consumption of carbonate-containing raw material, the lower synthesis temperature and the possibility of CO2 sequestration.
On the use of self-compacting concrete based on desert sand and granite powder
Authors: Rahmani Farida , Kaci Salah , Ould Ouali Mohand
Published: December 2024

This article is dedicated to the valorization of local materials as substitutes in self-compacting concrete. We were interested in studying the effect of adding granite powder as a substitute for cement in a self-compacting concrete made of 100% desert sand, and also as a substitute for river and/or quarry sands. First, the dosage of the superplasticizer on the cementitious paste is optimized and then confirmed this percentage in the case of concrete. Subsequently, several concrete formulations were produced. Then, the rheological, mechanical, and durability behavior of these self-compacting concretes with different percentages of granite powder and superplasticizer were studied by carrying out characterization tests in the fresh state [slump-flow, L box, sieve stability test, density] and the hardened state [Compressive strength, verification of static segregation, etc.]. From the results obtained, the concrete composition with 1.7 % superplasticizer and 10 % granite was found optimal, following the recommendations of the AFGC 2008 standard. The durability tests results of this concrete and the analysis of its behavior at high temperatures have confirmed that the formulation adopted can be used in severe working conditions.
Revisiting classical concepts of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics - Part III: The stress field in a double-edge notched finite strip by means of the “stress-neutralization” technique
Authors: Markides Christos , Kourkoulis Stavros K
Published: December 2024

This is the third part of a short series of paper, revisiting some classical concepts of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics. Based on the solution for the single edge notched strip, discussed in Part-II, the present study deals with the stress field developed in a stretched finite strip, weakened by two symmetric edge notches. The notches are of parabolic shape, approximating the configuration of a rounded V-notch, varying from almost semicircular edge cavities to “mathematical” edge cracks of zero distance between their lips. The solution is obtained combining Muskhelishvili’s complex potentials technique with a procedure for “stress-neutralization” of specific areas of the loaded strip. To simplify the procedure, the notches are assumed to be “shallow” (short) so that they do not affect each other. Once the complex potentials are obtained, the stress field variations are plotted along strategic loci of the strip and along the periphery of the notches. Attention is paid to the stress field developed around the bases (tips or crowns) of the two notches, providing relatively simple formulae for the critical tensile stress. In addition, the respective stress concentration factor k is obtained for blunt notches, while in the case the edge discontinuities become “mathematical” cracks, a simple expression is given for the mode-I stress intensity factor KI at the tip of the crack. It is revealed that the assumption of “shallow” notches suffices a quite efficient solution for the overall stress field in finite strips.

Published: December 2024

Globalisation and technological advancement present contemporary challenges for Indonesia's Sharia Financial Institutions (LKS) in maintaining competitiveness and innovating. This study examines these challenges, including the acceleration of financial technology (fintech), regulatory changes, and rising consumer expectations for inclusive and efficient services. LKS is required to continuously innovate and create products that meet the needs of a dynamic market while still following the principles of Sharia economic law. This research discusses how LKS integrates fintech and Islamic financial technology in their operations. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through a literature study and document analysis related to government regulations and policies regarding Sharia Financial Institutions. The literature study and document analysis also included laws and regulations related to Islamic finance, Islamic economic law regulations, academic articles (journals), and books that discuss product innovation and competitiveness challenges of Sharia Financial Institutions. This study found that regulations such as the Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) and the fatwa of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) provide a legal basis to support such innovation. However, LKS still faces challenges such as competition with conventional financial institutions, regulatory changes, and technological disruption. To remain competitive, LKS must adjust innovations such as Sharia fintech and crowdfunding following Sharia principles. In addition, public education on Sharia products is also important to increase financial inclusion. Through innovations such as factoring, bespoke financing, and solutions for online businesses, LKS can improve efficiency and empower small businesses while contributing to sustainable economic growth.

Authors: Isnaini Harahap  , Chuzaimah Batubara  , Khairina Tambunan  , Abdul Hakim
Published: December 2024

This research examines the impact of toll road construction on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) using Creative Destruction theory and contemporary Islamic philanthropy. The construction of toll roads, although accelerating distribution and accessibility, has had a significant negative impact on MSMEs in various regions. This study explores how MSMEs, particularly in North Sumatra, Pekalongan, and Brebes, are experiencing a decline in income due to reduced vehicle traffic. In addition, this article highlights the role of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah as mechanisms to increase the resilience of MSMEs. This research uses a qualitative approach with observation methods, in-depth interviews, and a literature review, showing that Islamic philanthropy can support the adaptation and sustainability of MSMEs amidst infrastructure changes. The research results show that the negative impact of toll road construction is significant, especially for MSMEs that depend on vehicle traffic, such as dodol in Serdang Bedagai, batik in Pekalongan, and restaurants in Brebes. The turnover decline reached 70-80% in some regions. Many MSMEs were also forced to lay off their employees due to decreased income. However, this study also found that Islamic philanthropic practices such as zakat, infaq, and sadaqah play an important role in increasing the resilience of MSMEs. MSME players who regularly carry out zakat, infaq, and sadaqah can show better adaptation, including product diversification and transition to online business models. Thus, Islamic philanthropy provides short-term assistance and supports long-term positive economic changes for MSMEs.
ONEIRIC SPACE AND PROBLEMS OF ARTISTIC MODELING OF BRUNO SCHULZ
Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, Matorina Natalia M.
Published: December 2024

Leading Schulz scholars rightly note that despite numerous studies of Schulz’s discourse, some as-
pects remain understudied. This primarily concerns the oneiric space, its role, and peculiarities of function-
ing in the structure of Schulz’s texts. The purpose of the article is to determine the peculiarities of the onei-
ric discourse of Bruno Schulz’s prose in the context of representation of the imagination, the embodiment
of metaphorical imagery in the motive structure of the works of fiction, the correlation of dream and real-
ity, ideal and reality. This is facilitated by psychoanalytic oneirological theories, as well as materials from
the latest oneirological literary studies. The research has been carried out based on a hermeneutic ap-
proach with the involvement of phenomenological, psychological (partially – psychoanalysis), biographi-– psychoanalysis), biographi- psychoanalysis), biographi-
cal, descriptive, and intertextual methods. Throughout the study, several initial tasks been solved, investi-
gated, and clarified. The main peculiarities of the (mutual)influence have been identified and the points of
contact and intersection between the components of the correlation of the work of Z. Freud and C.-G. Jung
(the queen of psychoanalysis) works of art and literary texts (oneiric discourse) have been characterized
accordingly. In the historiographical aspect, the problem of oneirism has been analyzed both in modern
literary studies and concerning the creative work of Bruno Schulz. Aspects of oneiric studies of the Schulz
direction have been singled out, which need to be deepened or reinterpreted in a certain way. The onei-
ric space of Schulz’s prose works has been characterized through the prism of the concepts of dream, vi-
sion, and labyrinth as the main system-forming concepts of this space, with emphasis on the main struc-
tural and semantic features of the outlined categories. The oneiric discourse of individual literary-critical
and epistolary works by Bruno Schulz has been considered. Associativity, a large number of symbols, unre-
ality, the marking of dreams with certain signals, the (non)presence of a sequence of events, incomplete-
ness, brokenness, schematicity, fragmentation, spatiotemporal mosaicism, etc., have been recognized as
typical features of the oneiric events of Schulz’s prose, which is confirmed through numerous illustrations
from Schulz’s works of art.

Published: December 2024

The adoption of cloud accounting technology among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is becoming increasingly vital for enhancing corporate efficiency and sustainability. However, the adoption rate requires enhancement due to several obstacles, including insufficient digital literacy (DLC) and technological complexity (CX). This study aims to identify the factors influencing the adoption of cloud accounting in MSMEs using TAM framework. This research encompassed 307 participants from MSMEs in Indonesia, with data gathered via surveys and analyzed with the Structural Equation Model—Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). DLC and compatibility (CO) substantially affect the perceived ease of use (PE) and usefulness (PU) of cloud accounting technology. Meanwhile, relative advantage (RA) positively impacts PE but does not significantly influence PU. CX greatly influenced users’ intention (INT) to embrace cloud accounting. These findings highlights the crucial role of TAM and indicate that enhancing DLC and CO alongside current business practices is essential to promoting technology adoption. This study provides practical recommendations for policymakers and technology providers to improve the use of digital technologies among MSMEs.

Authors: Nawangsari Lenny Christina , Siswanti Indra , Arijanto Agus , Wahyu Mas
Published: December 2024

In today’s competitive landscape, the role of Green Intellectual Capital in driving Sustainable Organizational Performance is receiving increasing attention. Organizations are under pressure to adopt sustainable practices, so exploring the influence of intellectual capital on performance is important. This study aims to examine the effect of Green Intellectual Capital consisting of Green Human Capital, Green Relational Capital and Green Structural Capital on Sustainable Organizational Performance, with Green Innovation Behavior as a mediating variable and Perceived Green Organizational Support as a moderating factor. The research design used was quantitative involving 200 millennial managers and the data was analysed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results show that to achieve sustainable organizational performance, millennial managers need to focus their efforts on improving Green Structural Capital and encouraging Green Innovation Behavior. In addition, the development of Gren Human Capital and Green Relational Capital should be geared towards increasing Green Innovation as a pathway to achieving sustainability goals. Perceived Green Organizational Support is not enough to strengthen the relationship of innovation and performance, so a more holistic approach in promoting sustainability across the organization is needed.

The burgeoning landscape of online marketplaces in Indonesia has prompted an exploration into the intricate interplay between consumer browsing behaviors and their impact on e-satisfaction, electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), and repurchase intention. This study investigates these relationships within Indonesian online marketplaces, employing a robust quantitative methodology. Surveys were conducted with 962 users of Indonesian online markets, and data was analyzed using SPSS 29 and Smart PLS 3. Findings reveal significant associations between utilitarian browsing and both e-satisfaction and repurchase intention. Hedonic browsing also significantly influences e-satisfaction, though its impact on e-WOM is less pronounced. E-satisfaction emerges as a critical precursor to both repurchase intention and e-WOM, underscoring its pivotal role in shaping consumer behavior within online marketplaces. Practical implications suggest businesses in Indonesian online marketplaces should adopt a multifaceted approach to platform design, prioritizing user satisfaction and transactional efficiency. Proactive customer satisfaction initiatives, coupled with leveraging satisfied customers as brand advocates, are essential for fostering long-term loyalty and advocacy. Theoretical contributions refine existing models in e-commerce and marketing, emphasizing the dynamic nature of online consumer behavior and its implications for managerial decision-making. While the study provides valuable insights, acknowledging its limitations underscores the need for future research. Longitudinal studies, qualitative approaches, and comparative analyses across cultural contexts are recommended to further explore online consumer behavior in Indonesian marketplaces and beyond. This research contributes to both scholarly understanding and managerial practices in the dynamic realm of online retail.
