Authors: A. Amahan Pilita , DIT DIT
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to assess the information technology students’ acceptance of and intention to use mobile learning applications using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. The study, which involved a first-year through fourth –year and even graduate students from the information technology department, was carried out from January to June 2022. Eighty volunteers participated in the study and completed the self-made questionnaire based on the UTAT model’s five constructs: performance efficiency (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), and behavioral intention (BI). Using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, the questionnaire’s acceptability and reliability were also evaluated. The association between the five factors and the intention to adopt mobile learning was also evaluated using regression analysis. The study’s final score of α=0.080619 suggests that the contracted questionnaires were good and acceptable. Four theories were put to the test, and the results indicate a favorable impact on the behavioral intention to utilize mobile learning applications. Future research should reevaluate the UTAUT model among students who are not studying computer technology when an asynchronous style of learning is also relevant.

Authors: A. Amahan, DIT Pilita , C. Amahan Elmer
Published: December 2024

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is becoming more and more popular for understanding the acceptance between the perceived usefulness (PU) of humans and the ease of use of perceived technology (PEOU). This study aims to analyze student acceptance of online learning platforms (OLPs) and determine the appropriate combination they can offer as higher education believes in significant changes in the demand for online learning. Researchers used a quantitative and qualitative approach among 73 information technology students conducted from April to May of the 2021-2022 academic year. The questionnaire used was based on TAM variables and was validated using Cronbach’s alpha with a result of 0.727. Regression analysis was applied to identify which variables influence student interests. The results show that the perceived usefulness and visual appeal of the content are statistically significant at a p-value of 0.048. However, with a p-value of 0.716 achieved, it turns out that the perceived usefulness is not important to the perceived ease of use. Future recommendations should consider evaluating other information literacy acquisition variables, such as recognition of external controls such as computer and information anxiety

Authors: Beyessa Feyera , Kenea Ambissa
Published: December 2024

The study aims to investigate the compact or bureaucratic accountability relationship for curriculum implementation in primary schools. To achieve this objective, an exploratory case study type and a multiple case study (holistic) research design were employed. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select sites and respondents. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources using face-to-face structured interviews and document analysis. Primary sources of data were three district or Worda Education Offices (WEOs) and three primary schools, from which three school principals, six teachers, and three WEOs’ curriculum and instructional experts were selected. The data were analyzed qualitatively using a thematic approach. The study reveals that the compact accountability relationship between the WEOs’ curriculum and instructional experts and the curriculum implementers was collapsed by key determinants such as weak capacity, poor monitoring progress, and politicization of the WEOs’ curriculum and instructional experts’ roles and responsibilities. This study also affirms that the accountability relationship was purposefully operational for easily achievable actions and politically attractive roles such as the improvement of students’ test scores by 10%, enhancing students’ enrollment, reducing students’ dropout rates, etc. that resulted in little implementation of curriculum components into classroom practices in a decentralized education system of primary schools.

The Implementation Of The Principle Of Freedom Of Contract In Providing Legal Protection For Workers Under Indefinite-Term Employment Contract At CV Soloarsi Studio
Authors: Tia Nur Fadhliyah , Suryono Arief
Published: December 2024

The establishment of worker protection arises from the contractual agreement between employers and employees. The legal relationship between these parties is constituted through an employment contract. The principle of freedom of contract, as stipulated within Article 1338 paragraph (1) of the Civil Code, is embodied in employment contract. Employment contracts that adhere to this principle can prevent the commodification of workers. However, within its practical endeavor, the principle of freedom of contract is frequently compromised in employment contract, leading to an imbalance of rights and obligations between workers and employers. CV Soloarsi Studio, a limited liability company, distinguishes between two types of employment agreements: fixed-term employment contract (PKWT) and indefinite-term employment contract (PKWTT). The aim of this research is to investigate and comprehend the application of the principle of freedom of contract in providing legal protection for workers under indefinite-term employment contract (PKWTT) at CV Soloarsi Studio. The research employed normative methodology, involving the examination of library materials and secondary data. The findings of this research indicate that legal protection for workers can be categorized into three types: economic, social, and technical protection. CV Soloarsi Studio, through its indefinite-term employment contract (PKWTT), has provided legal protection across these three categories. This compliance is evidenced by the allocation of rights and obligations to workers in alignment with the provisions stipulated by Law of Republic of Indonesia Number (No.) 6 of 2023, which ratifies Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia in Lieu of Law of Republic of Indonesia Number (No.) 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation into Law of Republic of Indonesia (UU 6/2023).

This study aims to analyse the relationship between vegetable and fruit consumption andnutritional status among school-age children in Regiao Administrativa Espesial Oe-CusseAmbeno Timor Leste, and to identify factors associated with children's nutritional status.This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collectedthrough a questionnaire that measured the frequency of vegetable and fruit consumption,and measurement of nutritional status using anthropometric indicators. The studypopulation was school-age children in Regiao Administrativa Especial Oe-Cusse AmbenoTimor Leste with the sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Fruitconsumption patterns showed that 45.4% (79 respondents) of children rarely consumedfruit (<3 times per week). Most children were malnourished, with 69.5% (121respondents) experiencing wasting. Another factor was preference for vegetables andfruits. These two factors showed a strong and significant association (r = 0.728 forvegetables, r = 0.725 for fruits, p = 0.000), indicating that children who had a highpreference for vegetables and fruits were more likely to have better nutritional status.Child age was also found to have a significant but weak association (r = 0.278, p = 0.000)with nutritional status, suggesting that although influential, child age is not the mainfactor in determining nutritional status. Preference for vegetables and fruits had asignificant relationship with children's nutritional status. Age also has an effect, althoughit is weaker. No significant relationship was found between nutritional status and parentaleducation, meal timing, and media exposure. The implication is that there is a need toincrease vegetable and fruit consumption through nutrition education programmes inschools and communities, and the development of healthy eating habits.

Authors: Wulan Djari Findia , Asyfiradayati Rezania
Published: December 2024

The liquid waste generated by the tofu industry is a significant environmental pollutant, particularly contributing to turbidity in rivers, lakes, and other water bodies. One effective method to address this issue is the treatment of wastewater using alum coagulant. This study aimed to assess the turbidity levels of tofu industry wastewater before and after the application of alum coagulant, as well as to determine the optimal dose or concentration of the coagulant. Conducted in January 2024 at the Public Health Laboratory of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, this research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The data analysis utilized quantitative methods, specifically the ANOVA test, to evaluate the effectiveness of the alum coagulant. The findings revealed that turbidity levels in the tofu industry wastewater decreased following the coagulation process: a concentration of 2 ml resulted in a 22.93% reduction, 4 ml led to a 26.24% decrease, 6 ml achieved a 29.08% reduction, and 8 ml produced a 36.41% decrease. Therefore, the optimal concentration of alum coagulant for effectively reducing turbidity in tofu industry wastewater is determined to be 8 ml, as it demonstrated the highest effectiveness in lowering turbidity levels.

Published: December 2024

This study used geospatial, temporal, and statistical methods to evaluate the quality of water of Kosi River in the Ramnagar area, located in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand. Ramnagar city is located where the Kosi River enters the plain region after flowing through a hilly area. The river undergoes significant changes in terms of geography, environment, and urbanization. A total of fourteen water quality parameters including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), phosphate (PO4−), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chloride (Cl−), sulfate (SO42−), nitrate (NO3−), dissolved oxygen (DO), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+), TDS, turbidity and total hardness (TH) were measured in samples collected from eleven different sites to evaluate seasonal fluctuation during pre-monsoon (PRM) monsoon (MON), post-monsoon (POM) of the river in 2021. The concentration of parameters at each site is compared with their permissible limits recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (IS 10500: 2012) to assess their suitability for human drinking. Based on the physicochemical analysis, it can be observed that the majority of the water samples taken from the river are within the recommended permissible limits for drinking purposes. Moreover, the calculated average Water Quality Index (WQI) values for PRM (44.98), MON (38.79), and POM (33.80) fall under the excellent to good categories. Statistical analyses indicate positive correlation among most of the chemical parameters. Piper diagram illustrates that all the water samples fall in Calcium-Chloride type Hydrochemical facies, Irrigation water quality of the river water was found suitable during all the three seasons according to the result of sodium adsorption ratio and sodium percentage. Therefore, based on the WQI results, it can be inferred that the water of the Kosi River in the Ramnagar region is suitable for drinking and other domestic uses without any further treatment. Therefore, to restore the vitality and water quality of the rivers, proper water resource planning program should be developed.

The mangrove ecosystem on Parang Island is one of the important habitats in supporting the productivity of the surrounding waters. Therefore, an analysis of the condition of the mangroves on Parang Island is very important to understand the status and trend of changes in the mangrove ecosystem, so that appropriate conservation and management strategies can be formulated. This study aims to determine the physical-chemical parameters of the waters, analyze the density, percent cover, and status of the mangrove ecosystem in the waters of Parang Island. Mangrove data was collected using the belt transect method, while the physical and chemical parameters of the waters were measured in-situ by making observations at 4 research stations. The results showed that the average water temperature at each station ranged from 29.5°C, the average salinity was 26 ppt, the average current speed was 0.24 m/s, the average pH was 5.25, and the average clarity was 73.18%. There are 4 species of mangroves in the waters of Parang Island, namely Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, Sonneratia alba, and Bruguiera gymnorhiza. The highest average relative density in the tree category is owned by Rhizophora apiculata, and the lowest is represented by Brugueira gymnorhiza. The highest sapling category is represented by Rhizophora stylosa, and the lowest by Brugueira gymnorhiza, while for the seedling category, the highest relative density is represented by Rhizophora apiculata, the lowest by Sonneratia alba. The highest average mangrove cover is owned by the Rhizophora apiculata species, and the lowest is represented by the Brugueira gymnorhiza species. The condition of the Rhizophora apiculata mangrove is in a moderate status, while Rhizophora stylosa, Sonneratia alba, and Brugueira gymnorhiza species are in a rare status.

South Tapanuli is located at an altitude of 0 to 1,985 m above sea level, where almost at all levels of this altitude we will find sugar palm plants growing wild. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between slope gradient and sugar palm plant productivity in South Tapanuli Regency. The research method used was the field survey method on sugar palm stands used as sample plants with various levels of slope gradient. Furthermore, the data obtained in the field were tabulated and processed using linear regression. The results of the study showed that the slope gradient was negatively correlated with sap production, meaning that the higher the slope gradient, the lower the sap production. The highest sap production was found at an altitude of 400 - 800 meters above sea level with a slope gradient of 8 - 15% with a sap production of 14.27 liters / day.

This research analyzes income sources at Islamic Schools of Victoria from 2015 to 2023. The focus of the study includes income diversification, the contribution of each source to total income, and cross-year trends. This research method uses a library research approach, data analysis techniques with data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Data is processed from the school's annual financial report. The research results show that government grants dominate the source of income, with a contribution that continues to increase from 79.29% in 2015 to 84.73% in 2023. In contrast, the contribution to school fees shows a relative decline and total income shows an increasing trend despite fluctuations. Total revenue increased from $27 million in 2015 to $44.7 million in 2023, for an average annual increase of 5.7%. The small decline in 2020 can be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting tuition payments and donations. The main income therefore comes from government grants-operating, which contributed more than 80% of total income since 2020. Other sources, such as tuition fees, donations and investment income, show significant fluctuations. This study highlights the importance of strategic financial management for the sustainability of educational institutions.
