Preliminary Study on Exploring Students' Perceptions of Instant Response Systems in Pre-Service Teacher Courses
Authors: Chen Hsin-Tzu Tommy
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this research focuses on the learning and teaching effectiveness of using web-based IRS in courses for pre-service teachers. This study was conducted to explore the students' perception and IRS instruction effect. The following question was investigated: how does the use of ZUVIO influence learners' perceptions, experience, and the quality of interactive instruction? Key findings revealed that ZUVIO enriched the quality of teaching and learning, with the highest influence reported on all types of assessment, including live and formative assessment, ongoing assessment, and self-assessment, as well as improved learning experience in content delivery, interaction, engagement, and motivation. These findings also suggest that the use of IRS is likely to minimize distractions, thereby improving the quality of teaching and learning beyond what is provided in conventional classrooms. Other factors that contributed to students' enhanced learning included the creation and integration of appropriate content in ZUVIO, providing students with timely feedback, and game-play strategies.

Authors: Thenoz Etienne , Chouk Inès , Ferrandi Jean-Marc , Gonzalez Christine , Rowe Frantz , Siadou-Martin Béatrice
Published: May 2023

Contact tracing applications (CTAs) have been presented as important tools in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. In France, the government developed the ‘StopCovid' CTA which later became ‘TousAntiCovid.' This research aims at understanding the determinants of the use of this CTA and of the intention to integrate the health pass. To do that, this study focuses on the perceived value of its use based on the privacy calculus theory. A quantitative study was conducted using a sample of 779 French people. The results show that the use of the CTA and the intention to integrate the health pass are influenced, as hypothesized, by perceived value, distrust towards the government, and personal innovativeness. Perceived value is positively influenced by social and individual benefits, as well as social influence, and, to a lesser extent, negatively influenced by social risks but not by individual risks.

Authors: Bongongo Tombo , Govender Indiran , Olowa Shango N. , Phukuta Nyundu S.J. , Nzaumvila Doudou K.
Published: May 2023

Background: Patient safety culture (PSC) norms set within an organisation prevent harm during medical care. This study assessed the level of PSC among public healthcare professionals (HCPs) in Pretoria, South Africa.Methods: A multi-centre cross-sectional study conducted in three hospitals and 25 clinics in regions 1 and 2 of Pretoria, using a self-administered questionnaire adapted from the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture. Using the Raosoft online sample size formula, from 1238 public HCPs identified, the sample size was calculated at 294; this expanded to 319 as a result of respondents’ willingness to participate in the study.Results: Of the 319 respondents with a mean age of 39.9 years, the minimum and maximum ages were 22 and 66 years, respectively. The age group of 30–39 years had the highest participation rate (17.6%). Most respondents (41.1%) came from the Odi district hospital and there were more women (78.1%) and nurses (49.2%). Positive attitudes were found for all PSC components, with staff education and training scoring highest (98.7%). Patient safety culture received a satisfactory rating from HCPs from the targeted facilities.Conclusion: This study showed that public HCPs in Pretoria’s regions 1 and 2 have a good PSC, particularly among nurses, professionals with more experience, and at primary care level.Contribution: To maintain or increase awareness of this concept among HCPs, the study advocates a PSC programme as well as ongoing education that can be supported by district and facility managers.

Authors: Mhundwa William , Joubert Gina , Mofokeng Thabiso R.
Published: May 2023

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of CKD among T2DM patients in Africa is 22.0%. The cut-off age for dialysing diabetic patients in the resource-limited state sector in South Africa is 50 years. Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who develop CKD are likely to be excluded from chronic dialysis and rely on control of risk factors, including blood pressure and blood glucose levels, to prevent CKD progression. We aimed to determine the prevalence of CKD among T2DM patients attending the diabetes clinic at Pelonomi Academic Hospital, Bloemfontein.Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, medical records of patients (January 2016 and December 2018) were reviewed to collect demographic and clinical information.Results: In total, 244 records were reviewed. Sixty-one (25.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 20% – 30.8%) T2DM patients had CKD. The rate of CKD was slightly higher in males (n = 24/81; 29.6%) compared with females (n = 37/163; 22.7%). Most patients with CKD (n = 58; 95.1%) were 50 years of age. Only 17.8% of patients achieved a glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0%. Blood pressure was controlled in 14.3% of hypertensive patients. Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors were used by 78.6% of patients.Conclusion: A high prevalence of clinically significant CKD among T2DM patients with poor prospects of chronic dialysis in a resource-limited setting was observed. The risk factors for CKD development and progression should be adequately managed in T2DM patients.Contribution: This study emphasises the need for further research and innovation to improve outcomes of T2DM patients with CKD in resource-constrained settings.

Authors: Morrison Ella , Goedhals Jacqueline , Pretorius Shireen , Joubert Gina , Gill Anthony J. , Van der Westhuizen Gerhard
Published: May 2023

Background: Succinate dehydrogenase-deficient (SDH-deficient) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare subtype of RCC. Approximately 0.05% – 0.2% of RCCs are SDH-deficient. It is usually associated with a pathogenic germline variant of the enzyme. Although the tumour is often indolent, it has a strong association with hereditary disease, most commonly paraganglioma and/or pheochromocytoma, and genetic testing is advised. Succinate dehydrogenase-deficient RCC is diagnosed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for SDH subunit B (SDHB), with loss of staining confirming SDHB deficiency. The incidence of SDH-deficient RCC in South Africa is unknown.Aim: To determine the incidence of SDH-deficient RCC in the Free State Province and its correlation with the worldwide incidence of 0.05% – 0.2%.Setting: Department of Anatomical Pathology, Universitas Academic Hospital and National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) in Bloemfontein, South Africa.Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was performed. All primary RCCs diagnosed over a 20-year period (1999–2018) were included. An SDHB IHC stain was performed on all cases. A diagnosis of SDH-deficient RCC required loss of staining in all tumour cells in the presence of internal positive controls.Results: The study included 187 RCC cases. Two cases of SDH-deficient RCC were identified, representing an incidence of 1.1%. Both patients were male and were 22 and 44 years of age, respectively.Conclusion: The incidence of SDH-deficient RCC in central South Africa is slightly higher than global findings.Contribution: This study provides new data on SDH-deficient RCC in the South African context.

Published: May 2023

The current study aims to determine the effect of four different anesthetics such as MS-222 (100 mg/L), tobacco extract (50 mg/L), propiscin (1.0 ml/L) and clove oil (40 mg/L) on the hematology and blood biochemical parameters of Labeo rohita. Blood was sampled 10 minutes after the anesthesia was administered and again after 24 hours. Except for the clove oil 24h measurements, there was a significant difference in the number of blood cells in all anesthetic applications (P<0.05). Hemoglobin and hematocrit values were not altered after 24 hours of treatment with clove oil and propiscin. MCV, MCH and MCHC values were not significantly affected in any application except clove oil 24h. Biochemical parameters, including total protein and glucose level, significantly changed (P<0.05) in propiscin and clove oil group. Enzymatic activities such as ALT changed significantly with MS-222, and AST values were nonsignificant (P>0.05) with tobacco, Change has been detected in ALP with MS-222 and tobacco calcium and magnesium showed non-significant differences with anesthetics. Overall all the parameters were affected by anesthetics used in the current research, however, it was established that 24 hours following the administration of clove oil, the discrepancies in blood values had vanished to a great extent.

Authors: Yokseng Kieattisak , Darumas Udomsak , Khawchamnan Rachow , Pedpradab Patchara
Published: May 2023

Objective of the study was to determine growth and the accumulation of an anticancer metabolite, renieramycin M (RM) of the sponge Xestospongia sp. Two phytoplankton, Chaetocerose gracilis and Nannochloropsis sp., were used as live feed. Sponges fed by C. gracilis weighed significantly more than sponges fed by Nannochloropsis sp. and control (2.95 g vs 1.27 and 0.66 g, respectively; P<0.05), respectively. Sponges fed by Nannochloropsis sp. showed maximum RM accumulation (0.32 mg/1500 mg tissue), followed by sponges fed by with C. gracilis (0.19 mg/1500 mg tissue) and the control (0.16 mg/1500 g tissue). RM accumulation was not significantly different among treatment groups, suggesting the type of phytoplankton feed affects the growth of Xestospongia sp. To confirm the existence of sponge associated cyanobacteria (Ca. E. renieramycinifaciens), two renieramycin biosynthetic genes (renC and renJ) belonging to the endosymbiont were amplified. Quantification, purification and sequencing analysis of recombinant DNA revealed the existence of renC and renJ in sponge tissue, with similarities of 99.40% and 99.33% to other isolates in the gene bank suggesting the association of Ca. E. renieramycinifaciens with the sponge. It can conclude that C. gracilis promotes the growth of a blue sponge, while RM was produced by an associated cyanobacterium.
Dietary Effects of Two Bifidobacterium Strains on Growth, Length-weight Relationships and Biological Indices on Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792)
Authors: Sahandi Javad , Jafaryan Hojatollah
Published: May 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifidobacterium lactis on growth, length-weight relationship and some biological indices of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss fry. An iso-nitrogenous (50% crude protein) diet was supplemented with three different concentrations of a mixture of equal quantities of the two strains of Bifidobacterium, namely T1 (1×107CFU/g), T2 (2×107CFU/g), T3 (3×107CFU/g) and a control (without bacteria). A total of 480 trout fries with an initial mean body weight of 0.53±0.19 g were randomly divided into four groups, each with 4 replicates. The fries were distributed into 16 fiberglass tanks (20 L total capacity) each filled with 15 L of water (water exchange rate of 2 L min-1 and permanent aeration) at a density of 2 fries per liter. During the 8-week feeding trial, the mean water temperature was 17.66±1.33°C and that of pH was 7.63±0.08. All fish groups demonstrated positive allometric growth. Trout fries fed with diet T1 recorded significantly higher (P<0.05) gonadosomatic index, specific growth rate and mean weight gain. The highest final mean length (14.12±4.57 cm) was recorded in fry fed with diet T2. The lowest concentration of Bifidobacterium, T1 induced the best growth and it enhanced the biological indices of O. mykiss.
Influence the North-western Part of the Black Sea Habitat Factors on the Meiobenthic Polychaetes
Authors: Bondarenko Olena , Vorobyova Ludmyla
Published: May 2023

In pseudomeiobenthos, juveniles of 28 polychaetes species were recorded, of which Alitta succinea (Leuckart, 1847), Polydora cornuta Bosc, 1802, and Prionospio cirrifera Wiren, 1883 dominated in density. Based on the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA), a significant dependence of the variability of the α-diversity of juveniles of polychaetes on the type of substrate and the temperature of the bottom water layer was established. It is shown that the local diversity of polychaetes juveniles is the highest on the shell (here we refer to the type of substrate) and decreases with increasing degree of substrate silting. With an increase in the temperature of the near-bottom water layer, the α-diversity of juveniles of polychaetes increases, which is associated with the timing of reproduction of most polychaetes species. A close positive correlation was found between the densities of juveniles and adults of P. cornuta. This confirms the important role of the presence of P. cornuta settlements in the macrozoobenthos in the selectivity of their locations by pelagic larvae during transition to the bottom. It has been established that in the study area, the active transition of pelagic larvae of polychaetes to the bottom occurs at a depth of up to 40 m.

Authors: AVKAR İNAL Aybüke , AVUNDUK Hüseyin
Published: May 2023

Küresel bir özellik kazanan yoğun rekabet ortamında işletmeler varlıklarını ve gelişimlerini sürdürebilmek için dünya pazarlarına sundukları ürün ve hizmetlerin kalitelerini korumakta ve küresel anlamda kabul görecek bir kalitede tutmakta da sorunlarla karşılaşmaktadırlar. Bu sorunlarla baş etmek için, sahip olduğu belirli kalıplar, ortaya koyduğu sınırlamalar ve şartlar ile ISO 9001 standardı oldukça başarılı bir araç olma özelliğini korumaktadır. Ancak ISO 9001 standardının bu özelliğini korumasının başlıca nedenlerinden biri de, yıllar içinde işletme içinde ve özellikle işletme dışındaki radikal gelişmelere bağlı olarak düzenli olarak revize edilmesidir.

Bu çalışmada birinci bölümde kalite ve kalite güvence sistemi kavramı kavramsal ve tarihsel olarak ele alınmıştır. İkinci bölümde ISO 9001:2015 revizyonu incelenmiştir. Son bölümde ise üretim yöneticilerinin algılamalarına dayalı olarak ISO 9001 Kalite Güvence Sistemindeki 2015 revizyonun incelenmesinde keşifsel bir inceleme yöntemi olarak odak grup çalışması yapılmıştır. Yöneticilerin revizyonlara ilişkin olarak organizasyonda uygulama zorlukları konusunda negatif bakış açıları ortaya çıkarken, işletme performansına dönük pozitif değerlendirmelerin güçlü bir şekilde ortaya çıktığı görülmüştür.

Moreover, students with fewer social media accounts are more likely to engage in political, volunteer, and social events than students with fewer social media accounts.
Considering the Advantages and Disadvantages of Utilizing Social Media to Enhance Learning and Engagement in K-12 Education
Authors: Güney Kaan
Published: May 2023

This paper intends  to explore the various ways in which social media can be used to enhance learning and engagement, as well as the potential challenges and risks that may arise. The study focuses on face-to-face formal K-12 education which is a system that generally covers 12 grades including primary and secondary schools. The manuscript provides a comprehensive theoretical literature review of the existing research on the topic, highlighting the main findings and discussing the implications. Social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have turned into an increasingly prevalent and influential aspect of modern society, and they have also begun to infiltrate the realm of education. However, during this study it has been noticed that there are few studies examining the effects of social media in K-12 education. Namely, some research has been conducted on higher or online education. Accordingly, while there are certainly benefits to applying social media in education, such as the ability to connect with a global network of learners and access to a vast array of information and resources, there are also challenges that must be considered. Thus, the results of this study provide clarification on previous research and lay the foundation for future examinations of the potential advantages and disadvantages of using social media in K-12 education.
O EFEITO DA IDADE RELATIVA NO FUTEBOL DE FORMAÇÃO FEMININO PORTUGUÊS
Authors: Araujo José , Fernandes Renato , Rodrigues Pedro
Published: May 2023

O futebol feminino vem crescendo em popularidade, especialmente nas duas últimas décadas, onde não só a qualidade das jogadoras aumentou, mas também o próprio profissionalismo. Este crescimento poderá levar a que existam no futebol feminino problemas, efeitos, entre outras temáticas, como existem no futebol masculino, nomeadamente o Efeito da Idade Relativa (EIR) no futebol de formação. O EIR é caracterizado pela diferença da idade biológica das crianças e adolescentes na mesma faixa etária. O objetivo do presente estudo é perceber se existe o EIR no futebol de formação feminino de português, desconhecidos que são os estudos nesta área para este setor. Para o efeito foram recolhidas, no site “www.zerozero.pt” informações sobre 232 jogadoras inscritas das 8 equipas de formação femininas que disputaram a Liga Feminina Nacional Sub19 na época 2019/2020. De seguida foram recolhidas as datas de nascimento, que por sua vez foram agrupadas em quartis: Quartil 1 “Q-1” (janeiro a março), Quartil 2 “Q-2” (abril a junho), Quartil 3 “Q-3” (julho a setembro) e Quartil 4 “Q-4” (outubro a dezembro). Depois de efetuada uma análise descritiva dos dados recolhidos, foi utilizado o teste não paramétrico do Qui-quadrado (χ2) para verificar se existiam diferenças ao nível da composição dos quartis. Com este estudo, foi possível concluir que não existe o EIR no futebol de formação feminino português ao nível da Liga Feminina sub 19 (época 2019/2020). Também se comprovou não existir qualquer EIR nas equipas que se qualificaram para o Play off de Apuramento de Campeão comparando com as restantes.
CASCAS DE FRUTAS EXÓTICAS (LITCHI CHINENSIS E NEPHELIUM LAPPACEUM) VALORIZAÇÃO E SUSTENTABILIDADE
Authors: Vinha Ana , Ferchal Clemente , Sousa Carla
Published: May 2023

Lichia (Litchi chinensis) e rambutã (Nephelium lappaceum) são frutas exóticas provenientes da Ásia, recentemente introduzidas na Europa. Com o aumento da produção mundial destes frutos, muitos subprodutos são desperdiçados durante o processamento industrial, incluindo-se as cascas não edíveis dos mesmos. Para além do aporte nutricional reconhecido, pensa-se que os compostos bioativos presentes nestes subprodutos sejam os responsáveis por diversas atividades biológicas, tais como, antioxidante, anti-inflamatória, antineoplásica, anti-glicémica, antimicrobiana, entre outras. O objetivo deste estudo visou determinar e comparar o aporte nutricional e conteúdo dos compostos bioativos, nomeadamente, fenólicos e flavonoides totais, das cascas não edíveis destes frutos no sentido de as valorizar e fomentar o seu uso em possíveis aplicações na indústria alimentar, farmacêutica e cosmética. Pela análise nutricional das cascas estudadas foram determinados os teores de humidade, cinzas, proteína, gordura total e hidratos de carbono, recorrendo a métodos estabelecidos pela Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Os teores de proteína variaram entre 2,0 e 7,4 g/100 g, sendo as cascas de rambutã a amostra com teor mais elevado. O teor de gordura total nunca excedeu os 1,8 g/100 g nas duas amostras estudadas e o teor de minerais das cascas de rambutã mostraram-se elevados (4,5 g/100g). Os hidratos de carbono obtidos nas duas amostras, os quais incluem a fibra dietética, variaram entre 76,8 e 83,3 g/100 g, não tendo afetado, de forma significativa, o valor energético total. No que toca aos compostos bioativos, verificou-se que as cascas da lichia apresentam teores superiores de fenólicos e de flavonoides totais (1578,0 mg EAG/g e 55,1 mg EC/g, respetivamente) relativamente às de rambutã, observando-se diferenças significativas (p<0,05) entre as amostras. Os teores de fenólicos totais foram superiores aos teores de flavonoides totais, observando-se uma concordância com outros estudos já publicados. Este estudo mostrou o elevado potencial das cascas não edíveis de frutos cujo consumo tem vindo a aumentar, como ingredientes ativos para diferentes produtos, como alimentos, produtos farmacêuticos ou cosméticos.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: To assess the digital health literacy (DHL) and musculoskeletal health literacy (MHL) levels of collegiate student-athletes. Methods: We used a cross-sectional survey to assess collegiate student-athletes (n=160) health literacy using the Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI) and Literacy in Musculoskeletal Problems (LiMP) tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The majority of participants shared they accessed the Internet via smart phones and felt the Internet was important and useful to their health. On average, the participants scored a 3.36±0.38 on the DHLI. The LiMP score was 6.29±1.36, and 26.8% (n=15/56) of participants who completed the tool had limited or inadequate MHL. Conclusions: Most student-athletes possess adequate DHL and MHL. The findings directly impact patient education as student-athletes are using their phones to access health related information, which they feel comfortable with, but may not know if the source is trustworthy.
Physiotherapists’ Perspectives on the use of Telehealth for Service Delivery to Children with Developmental Delays: A Qualitative Focus Group Study
Authors: Grant Claire , Jones Anne , Land Helen
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The purposes of the study are to (1) determine what barriers and facilitators physiotherapists perceive to using telehealth, (2) to determine willingness to use and (3) to determine perspectives on training in the use of telehealth. Method: This is a qualitative semi structured interview and focus group design. Participants were recruited from the first stage of the larger research process using purposive sampling. A semi structured guide was used to facilitate discussion of shared experiences and to allow themes to emerge from the discussion. Results: Thematic analysis was used to synthesise frequent and important themes. Ten participants took part in either a focus group (n=7) or interview (n=3). Nine main themes identified were split into barriers and facilitators. Facilitators were the right family, right child, adequate technology and space, and collaboration. Barriers were technology, time management, lack of physical touch, lack of organisational support, and work environment. Conclusion: Results suggest that physiotherapists working with children with developmental delay consider telehealth to be unsuitable to replace face-to-face therapy entirely but are willing to use it to provide follow up services to the right family and the right child. Physiotherapists in the study were positive about telehealth’s potential to improve services to children in rural areas. Physiotherapists said that specific physiotherapy training in telehealth was currently lacking.
Access, Engagement, and Experiences with Critical Incident Response Resources in Athletic Training
Authors: Holmes Karen , Neil Elizabeth , Granger Kelcey , Eberman Lindsey
Published: May 2023

Purpose: Experiencing an event that involves actual or threatened death or serious injury is a critical incident and produces serious emotional responses. Athletic trainers (ATs) experience critical incidents in their day-to-day work. The purpose of this study was to explore how ATs experience a critical incident during the course of clinical practice. Methods: We used one-on-one, web-based, semi-structured interviewing with a criterion sample of ATs who experienced a critical incident and used any critical incident response resources in the last year (n=17; age=32±8; years of experience=9±7; years in current position=4±5). We used a 3-person team with a multi-phase process to identify the emerging domains and categories. Results: Two emergent domains were identified from the study. External support referenced multiple personnel resources available after a critical incident occurred, specifically, trained mental health professionals, untrained personnel, and trusted colleagues/coworkers. Coping with the emotional response included debriefing, spirituality, and complementary mental health strategies. Conclusion: In preparation for critical incidents, emergency action planning and after-action planning for healthcare delivery and the emotional response are both essential. Many ATs do not have the formal training, but continuing education courses, community-based mental health resources, and the promotion of professional organization resources can assist ATs in critical incident management.
The Rationale Behind and Impact of One Hospital’s Provision of Secondary School Athletic Training Services: A Five-Year Case Study
Authors: Faure Caroline
Published: May 2023

Purpose: Sports-related injuries are common and often require physician or hospital care. Since the advent of concussion laws in fifty states, hospitals across the country have come forward to partner with secondary schools in the provision of sports medicine healthcare. The outreach agreements are consistent: Hospitals hire athletic trainers (ATs) and then outsource them to schools. ATs help mitigate risk in sports programs. Onsite at the schools daily, ATs provide immediate evaluation and treatment for injuries that occur and render decisions regarding the appropriateness of an injured athlete’s return to participation. The goal of this case study was to describe the experiences of one hospital in relation to (a) the factors the contributed to its administration’s decision to provide athletic training services to area schools, (b) the program structure, (c) the annual costs, and (d) the benefits reaped. Methods: This investigation spanned the course of the first five years of the hospital’s partnership with four separate high schools. Interviews with key hospital and school district administrators along with additional tracking of the number of professional medical referrals helped to illuminate the program’s successes. Results: The partnership proved to be a win-win. It strengthened the hospital’s community relations, provided area school sports programs with much-needed medical oversight, and provided a consistent stream of revenue generation via professional medical referrals, both for the hospital and for its affiliated providers. Conclusion: Hospital administrators should look to this example as one that supports the decision to partner with local schools in the provision of athletic healthcare.

Purpose: There is limited evidence describing burnout among graduate health professions students, including pharmacy students, and there is a need for educational institutions to mitigate burnout and promote future healthcare provider wellness. Methods: A burnout prevention elective course was developed within an accelerated Doctor of Pharmacy program. Course faculty transitioned from live to fully remote instruction in April 2020. The modified course format combined discussion-based lectures, burnout self-assessments, reflective writing assignments, and applications-based presentations. Results: Twenty-one second-year pharmacy students completed the elective, and 13 completed post-course evaluations (61.9% response rate). Evaluations indicated substantial student support, with 92.3% “strongly agree” and 7.7% “agree” responses for all questions. Students suggested incorporating this course into the core didactic curriculum rather than offering it as an elective. Conclusion: Pharmacy programs considering piloting similar courses may effectively implement them even under the modified learning conditions imposed by COVID-19.

Peran orang tua siswa tidak bisa dikesampingkan dalam keterlibatannya pada pendidikan yang didapat oleh anaknya di luar pendidikan keluarga. Untuk memilih tempat Pendidikan yang layak tersebut tidak semerta-merta hanya anak dapat disekolahkan dimana saja. Disaat aturan penerimaan siswa baru berubah hampir setiap tahunnya dan anak selaku siswa terkendala dengan aturan nilai rapor atau umur atau kuota yang disediakan sekolah yang akan dituju sehingga pondok pesantren merupakan alternatif dari masalah ini. Untuk membantu orang tua dalam mencari pondok pesantren yang mempunyai kriteria pada masing-masing orang tua dibutuhkan sebuah sistem dimana orang tua atau siswa tidak perlu mengunjungi satu per satu pondok pesantren yang akan menjadi pilihannya. Maka dari itu dibutuhkanlah sebuah Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Berkelompok untuk memberikan pilihan pondok pesantren terbaik berdasarkan kriteria yang ditentukan orang tua dengan menggunakan metode AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) untuk mencari nilai pembobotan pada masing-masing kriteria penggunaan metode ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment)sebagai pemecah masalah dan pencarian alternatif dari nilai bobot yang didapat, dan penggunaan metode Borda sebagai penunjang keputusan kelompok dimana nilai referensinya diambil berdasarkan bobot dari ranking. Hasil akhir yang akan didapatkan berupa perangkingan rekomendasi sekolah berdasarkan nilai dari masing-masing kriteria yang ditentukan oleh pengguna dimana hasil ini dapat dijadikan dasar atau referensi dalam mengambil keputusan bagi orang tua untuk memutuskan pondok pesantren yang menjadi tujuannya.

Salt ponds in Madura are known by the Indonesian people as salt producers or it can be said that Madura is generally called a salt island, especially salt ponds in Bangkalan Regency in 2014 salt production increased from the previous year. But not long after that in 2020 and 2021 Salt Pond production decreased. The problem that occurs in the field of salt pond business in Kwanyar District, Bangkalan Regency is to analyze the problems that exist in salt ponds regarding the characteristics and potential of the salt pond business and the salt pond production system. And the problems that exist in the Maritime Service of Bangkalan Regency are difficult to classify salt pond production data. Responding to the problem of salt ponds in Bangkalan, a data mining system is needed to classify salt pond production. The grouping of salt ponds is grouped into 3 clusters. Where 3 groups (clusters) are used here, namely the need to increase production (cluster 1), it is enough to increase production (cluster 2), there is no need to increase production (cluster 3), which is useful for evaluating and providing solutions. The method used is the K-Means Clustering method, as well as finding an optimal group using Elbow Optimization. The results of the K-Means process of grouping the results obtained are group 1 = 65 data that need to increase production, group 2 = 55 data that simply needs to increase production, and group 3 = 21 data that doesn't need to increase production. Elbow Optimization Test to find the most optimal K, by conducting a 7 cluster trial. The result is K = 3 which is optimal from a comparison test with other Ks, looking at the resulting SSE and Elbow Garp values.

The internet is a very popular means of communication and information at this time besides that online applications based on Android or iOS have become the main choice compared to using a web browser to open web pages. Many application developers are starting to focus on application development on the ease of accessing and operating it. Therefore, we need an evaluation of usability through user experience in e-commerce applications. This study measures how satisfied the Tokopedia mobile application is with Tokopedia's ease of usability based on user reviews through the use of questionnaires and heuristic evaluation guidelines to evaluate the Tokopedia application. And the results of the reliability test each obtained a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.945, which was greater than the r table value of 0.2068. The results of the t test on the price quality variable obtained a significant value of 0.001 <0.05, so partially there is a positive effect of price quality on customer satisfaction on Tokopedia's usability. The results of r square show the value (r square) obtained from the study of 0.9431. The r square results mean that 94.3% of the variation in customer satisfaction is the usability of Tokopedia.
