Company value: the influence of intellectual capital, growth opportunity, and dividend policy
Authors: Suzan Leny , Syamsudin Shenny
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to investigate the causes of the decline in stock prices during the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be analyzed based on intellectual capital, growth opportunity, and dividend policies. Therefore, this research focuses on how these variables can influence company value of manufacturing companies within the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2022. Data from 10 companies were analyzed. The simultaneous analysis shows that intellectual capital, growth opportunities, and dividend policy collectively impact company value. In this study, the value of F-statistic is 0.001687, meaning there is a very small probability (less than 0.17%) that the observed results happened by chance. The coefficient of determination indicates that these three variables explain 23.12% of the variation in company value during the study period, while 76.88% is influenced by unexamined factors. Upon closer examination (partial analysis), it is evident that only growth opportunities significantly contribute positively to company value. In contrast, intellectual capital does not demonstrate a positive effect, and dividend policy does not exert a significant negative influence on manufacturing companies in the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the indonesia stock exchange from 2018 to 2022.

Published: August 2024

The emergence of mobile technology has led to significant transformations in communication. Nevertheless, it has also presented new challenges, notably exemplified by a phenomenon termed as "phubbing," where individuals prioritize their mobile devices over in-person interactions. This analysis of content delves into the research trends surrounding phubbing behavior, focusing specifically on 42 articles regarding phubbing in the Indonesian Journal of Counseling and Psychology within 2018-2024. The data was gathered from the Science and Technology Index (SINTA). Several aspects necessitate examination, such as the publication year, methods, subject or samples, data collection, data analysis, and other discoveries related to phubbing research. This analysis showed a growing interest in phubbing research in Indonesia, characterized by a notable rise in publications over the past 6 years. Furthermore, quantitative methodologies and surveys using questionnaires are becoming prevalent in phubbing research in Indonesia. Another significant point is the prevalence of students as the primary subjects of research, with regression and correlation techniques being the most commonly employed methods of data analysis. Consequently, it can be inferred that further exploration is crucial in phubbing research, incorporating advancements in research topics, participants, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques. The results of this investigation underscore the significance of continued exploration of phubbing, particularly through interdisciplinary approaches, to develop comprehensive strategies in mitigating its negative impacts. This study provides valuable insights for researchers and professionals seeking to comprehend and tackle the phubbing phenomenon in Indonesia.

Authors: Syukrilla Wara Alfa
Published: August 2024

The effect of social media use on users' mental health is a subject of debate,  with conflicting evidence in this field. In addition, the prevalence of adverse life events, which is a silent global social issue,  is on the rise worldwide. This study aims to examine the effect of social media use and adverse life events on individuals' depression symptoms in Indonesia. A nationally-representative data of 29,793 individuals from the Indonesian Family Life Survey Wave 5 was used. Depression was measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. The negative binomial regression was employed to examine the impact of social media use and adverse life event on depression while taking into account the overdispersion nature of count data. The results show that social media use and the frequency of adverse life events experienced by individuals significantly increase the rate of depressive symptoms. The depression rate is higher in females and young age individuals rather than in males and elderlies.

Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a breathing disorder characterized by recurrent airway obstruction during sleep. Previous western studies have investigated the link between medical disorders and the pathophysiology of OSA. The prevalence and comorbidity rates of OSA; however, vary across different countries and racial groups. This study aimed to delve into medical comorbidities in patients with OSA using a large nationwide healthcare database in Korea.Methods This nationwide study used the Korean National Health Insurance claims database (2010–2019). The effect of OSA on the incidence of medical disorders was estimated using the Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) model. The results were reported as crude and adjusted HRs with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subgroup analysis was conducted by sex and age.Results In total, 103,785 patients with OSA and 207,570 patients without OSA were included. OSA group had significantly higher HRs for ischemic heart disease and stroke even after adjusting for hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. The OSA group also showed an increased risk of metabolic syndrome-related diseases, chronic kidney disease, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Female patients with OSA exhibited notably higher rates of comorbid liver cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma. The cardiovascular burden of patients increased in accordance with the patients’ age.Conclusion Korean patients with OSA have a significantly increased risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, which aligns with the previous studies conducted in the western countries. This result holds particular significance as it represents the first nationwide, population-based study conducted in Asia.

Analysis of the Effect of Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) on the Trade in Service Sector in Indonesia
Authors: Syahputri Evanti Andriani , Gupta I Made Krisna Yudhana Wisnu
Published: August 2024

The Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) is a trade agreement that aims to facilitate market access and considers aspects of economic cooperation and development initiatives between the two countries. The trade agreement between Indonesia and Japan is Indonesia's first bilateral trade agreement covering trade in goods, services, and investment, and entered into force in 2008. The development of the service sector is an important factor in supporting economic growth. This study uses panel data regression with the estimation method used by the gravity model with Difference in Difference (DiD) to see the impact of the IJEPA. The study results show that the interest variable is not significant to the dependent variable, illustrating that the existence of the IJEPA agreement is statistically unable to explain the relationship that occurs with the value of exports and imports of the Indonesian service sector. Implementing IJEPA in Indonesia still does not have an impact and has not provided benefits, especially for service trade.

Disease, climate, environment and the fortunes of Buddhism during the Tibetan Empire 618–842 CE
Authors: Zou Yi , Cheng Jianquan , Cresswell Mark P. , Lageard Jonathan G. A.
Published: August 2024

The official adoption of Buddhism by the Tibetan state in the mid-8th Century (761-762 CE) was relatively late compared to its permeation from northern India to elsewhere in south and east Asia, due to the country’s geographical isolation. Whilst reasons for its adoption remain uncertain, it is thought that the religion provided a strong unifying influence permitting both the consolidation and subsequent expansion of the Tibetan Empire. Early historical records suggest that the religion was prohibited in 739-741 CE and again in 841-842 CE, the latter coinciding with the fall of the Tibetan Empire. This research presents a detailed examination of Tibetan and Chinese historical records and also of recent fine-resolution palaeoclimatic reconstructions to demonstrate that the ‘oscillating fate’ of Buddhism during the Tibetan Empire (618-842 CE), was not only linked to the economic fortunes of the Tibetan state as previously envisaged, but also inextricably to disease, the long-term regional climatic deterioration and possibly also to a series of natural disasters, many of which were recorded in the north and north-west of the Tang Empire adjacent to Tibet, as well as in Tibet itself. These ‘disasters’ noted in the historic records, and both catalogued and quantified here, indicate extreme pressures placed on the rural economy of the Tibetan Plateau and adjoining areas by crop failures, the death of many livestock and associated widespread famine and human mortality. The ‘chaos & disorder’ of the latter stages of the reign of Emperor Ralpachen (815-836/838 CE), as well as the Second Prohibition of Buddhism by the last Tibetan Emperor Lang Darma can therefore now not only be related to climatic-environmental deterioration, but also to the likely loss of public faith in both Tibetan Emperors and in Buddhism. It is possible that in the eyes of superstitious Tibetans, neither their rulers nor the state religion could address an accelerating spiral of crises. Devine displeasure could have been further signified by a devastating earthquake in Tibet sometime between 839-842 CE and the subsequent ‘implosion’ of the Tibetan Empire should no longer be considered surprising.
A Novel Multi-Modal Few-Shot Learning Approach for Diagnosing Cantú Syndrome: A Theoretical Framework
Authors: Sonny Abhirama Vadiraja
Published: August 2024

Cantú syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in two distinctive genes that code for the regulatory or pore-forming subunits of KATP channels in the heart. Affecting fewer than 100 individuals worldwide, it can be identified by its distinctive cardiovascular abnormalities. The rarity of this condition presents significant challenges for professionals alone to make quick and accurate diagnoses. This paper proposes a novel theoretical framework for a multi-modal few-shot learning approach to diagnose Cantú syndrome. The proposed system integrates diverse modalities, including facial photographs, cardiac imaging, clinical descriptions, and genetic information to create a robust diagnostic tool. The paper outlines the theoretical underpinnings of the proposed system, discusses potential data sources, and explores the broader implications for diagnosing other rare genetic disorders. While the current framework is hypothetical due to data limitations, it provides a foundation for future research and development in applying advanced machine-learning techniques to rare disease diagnosis.
A Resonant Learning (RL) Framework
Authors: White Charles , Wilde Lawrence
Published: August 2024

This paper introduces the Resonant Learning (RL) framework, building on Hartmut Rosa's sociological theory of resonance and Graham Wallas' theory of the creative process. The RL framework aims to contribute to teacher education by delineating resonant learning spaces in an increasingly digitally-mediated post-digital educational landscape. This paper suggests that the RL framework has potential to enhance teaching and learning by integrating principles of resonance, second-order resonance and creativity. The research aligns with the growing need to focus on Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (CIE) and Maker Education (ME) with the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education. The laptop orchestra (LO) is discussed as a model resonant learning space that facilitates CIE & ME. This study highlights the significance of RL in supporting pre-service teacher training by fostering ICT efficacy, agency, creativity, and digital competencies essential for future-oriented pedagogy.

Authors: Zhang Renwen , Li Han , Afonso  , Liu Zihan , Lee Yi-Chieh
Published: August 2024

The proliferation of conversational AI systems, such as chatbots, has sparked widespreadprivacy concerns. Previous research suggests that privacy perceptions and practices vary acrosscultures and contexts. This study examines public and institutional discourses on privacy issuesregarding conversational AI in the U.S. and China. Semantic network and discourse analyses ofprivacy-related discussions on Twitter and Weibo reveal divergent patterns. On Twitter, publicdiscourse emphasizes privacy risks and concerns and advocates for systemic changes, whileinstitutional discourse promotes individualistic approaches to privacy protection. Conversely, onWeibo, public discourse is less focused on privacy risks and more on the positive impacts of AI,aligning closely with institutional narratives. These variations are intertwined with the cultural,political, economic, and regulatory contexts of the two countries. Our study underscores theimportance of multi-level analysis in comparative privacy research to provide a holistic view ofprivacy dynamics.
Improving Communication and Attention for Children with ASD and ADHD through virtual reality
Authors: Morozov Aliaksandr
Published: August 2024

This study examines the use of the "Focus Pocus" virtual reality (VR) application in speech-language pathology (SLP) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The results show significant improvements in spontaneous expressive language, attention, and reduced echolalia. Although initial challenges were observed, particularly with attention and focus on virtual objects, most children adapted by the middle of the course, leading to substantial improvements by the end. The VR environment facilitated quicker vocabulary recall and enhanced engagement, demonstrating VR's potential as an effective tool in SLP therapy. The study highlights the advantages of VR in providing a controlled, immersive, and customizable environment, contributing to better therapeutic outcomes and increased motivation among children. Future research should explore long-term effects and optimize VR applications for broader accessibility.

Heterogeneous treatment effects allow tailoring of interventions. In personalized education, computerized systems integrate assessment and training in a data-rich environment. Interventions are often adapted by predicting developmental trajectories and assigning optimal treatment regimes. While traditional multivariate methods focus on explanation and inference, they are suboptimal for prediction. This study explores whether the multivariate random forest (MRF) outperforms univariate models in predicting trajectories in an educational training system for dyscalculia. Using principal component analysis and nested cross-validation, MRF was compared with univariate random forests and multivariate lasso regression. Results show MRF performs comparably but is not superior. A thorough initial assessment remains a strong predictor of non-linear learning trajectories, highlighting the value of psychometric testing and interpretable feature engineering.
Perceptual category learning results in modality-specific representations
Authors: Roark Casey L
Published: August 2024

A longstanding debate in cognitive science centers around whether our internal representations of the external world are abstract and amodal or whether they are grounded by sensory modality. Perceptual category learning presents a unique testbed of this debate as categories exist within all sensory modalities, but most theories are focused only on learning in the visual modality. As a result, it is not yet clear how modality may influence the perceptual and cognitive processes supporting category learning. In two experiments and a pre-registered replication, we tested whether category learning results in amodal or modality-specific representations. We found that learners formed modality-specific representations with mixed evidence about whether representations were independent or competitive in nature depending on the training context. The results highlight the need to look beyond vision when constructing and testing models of category learning and of cognition more broadly.

This study examines the effect of financial performance and company size on stock prices with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a moderating variable. The population in this study consists of coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2017-2021 period, totaling 27 companies. Using quantitative and secondary data obtained from the IDX website and the companies' annual reports, the sample selection employed a purposive sampling method, resulting in 95 data points from 19 companies for each period. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that Return on Equity (ROE) positively and significantly affects stock prices, while Earnings per Share (EPS) negatively and significantly affects stock prices. Company size has a negative and insignificant effect on stock prices. CSR, as a moderating variable, is not able to moderate the positive relationship between ROE and stock price, but it can moderate the negative relationship between EPS and stock prices, as well as the negative relationship between company size and stock prices.
Extended Spectrum ß-Lactamase Producing Escherichia coli from Bagmati River Water: a Threat of Spread of Resistant Bacterial Infection to Human

Aquatic environments can be the sources for the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and resistance genes. Escherichia coli is one of the bacteria taken as an indicator of water contamination with human faecal matter. CTX-M producing E. coli is the most common type of extended-spectrum ß- lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli worldwide. This study was conducted from October 2019 to December 2020 to determine the proportion of CTX-M gene among ESBL E. coli isolated from the Bagmati River. Thirty-nine water samples in triplicates were collected from 13 different points of Bagmati River in Kathmandu Valley and analyzed for isolation of E. coli. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by modified Kirby- Bauer disc diffusion method. ESBL was confirmed phenotypically by the combination disk method recommended by CLSI guidelines. Alkaline hydrolysis method was used for plasmid DNA extraction and CTX-M gene was detected by a polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis. E. coli was isolated from 76.9% (n= 30) samples and 80% (n= 24) of E. coli isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). Out of 24 MDR E. coli, 33.3% (n= 10) were ESBL producers. Among 10 ESBL E. coli, 70% (n= 7) had CTX-M gene. It shows that Bagmati River water is polluted due to anthropogenic activities. The resistant bacteria may circulate from water to the community posing a potential threat of infection. Effective treatment of river water is recommended to prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.

This study examines the spatio-temporal distribution of hourly precipitation across Nepal using Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) data from 2015 to 2021. The findings indicate that hourly precipitation intensity during the monsoon season can reach up to 0.7 mm/hr, while pre-monsoon intensities peak at 0.2 mm/hr. These intensities are predominantly concentrated in mid- and low-elevation areas of central and eastern Nepal. Post-monsoon and winter seasons exhibit high-intensity precipitation patches over high-elevation regions in the western, central, and eastern peripheries of the country. The annual distribution of hourly precipitation shows a pronounced peak during the monsoon season, indicating that a significant portion of the total annual precipitation occurs during this period. Extreme precipitation events follow a similar seasonal distribution, with monsoon extremes exceeding 15 mm/hr. The diurnal cycle of monsoonal precipitation shows unique characteristics, peaking at 0.65 mm/hr around midnight and decreasing to 0.2 mm/hr by late morning, then increasing steadily in the afternoon and evening. Additionally, the study contrasts hourly heavy precipitation extremes (≥10 mm/hr or day) with daily extremes, noting that hourly extremes, despite being accumulated into daily measures, present a higher frequency, and pose greater short-term hazard risks. This analysis over a seven-year period suggests the need for continued research to determine spatial and temporal trends in hourly versus daily extreme precipitation patterns, particularly in the context of climate change and its impacts on regional hydrology and meteorology.
Women Empowerment Practices in Nepal
Authors: Gyawali Pallavi
Published: August 2024

This study examines women empowerment practices in Nepal. Financial independency is the dependent variable. The selected independent variables are self-efficacy, leadership skill, entrepreneurial skills, access to resource and insurance service. The primary source of data is used to assess the opinions of the respondents regarding the women empowerment practices in Nepal. The study is based on primary data of 126 respondents. To achieve the purpose of the study, a structured questionnaire is prepared. The correlation coefficients and regression models are estimated to test the significance and importance of women empowerment practices in Nepal.
The study showed that leadership skills have a positive impact on financial independency of Nepalese women. It indicates that better the leadership skills, higher would be the financial independency of the women in Nepal. Similarly, self-efficacy is positively correlated to financial independency. It means that increase in self-efficacy leads to increase in financial independency of the women. Similarly, access to resources has a positive relationship with financial independency. It implies that access to resources to women leads to increase in financial independency. The result also revealed that entrepreneurial skill has a positive relationship with financial independency. It indicates that enhancing entrepreneurial skills of women leads to increase in financial independency of women. In addition, insurance services are positively correlated with financial independency. This reveals that better insurance services to the women leads to increase in financial independency.
Open Education: A Colonial or Decolonial Movement?
Authors: Gomez-Liendo Marx Jose
Published: August 2024

The idea of openness in education has sparked a growing body of discussions, research, and policies. Rooted in critical pedagogy, the topic revolves around promises and challenges related to access, equity, social justice, and removing barriers, to name a few (Zawacki-Richter, O. et al., 2020). The commitment of professional educators and activists to these goals reflects a transformative movement against restrictive (nay, closed) educational paradigms. Yet, as we keep promoting all these efforts, a necessary self-reflective question arises: is open education perpetuating colonial frameworks, or is it a decolonial movement that genuinely empowers all learning community members? This column, rather than providing a definite answer, is a critical invitation to bridge the open education movement with decolonial theory and practice.
