Authors: Supriadi Bambang , Mustofa Endri , Wolok Tineke 
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine how the Indonesian hotel sector may use the internet as a productive and successful marketing tool.

Theoretical Framework: The opportunities offered by the internet include ease of accessing and disseminating information about hotel products and services, the ability to reach a wider and more diverse market, and the opportunity to improve the quality and efficiency of services (Kapoor & Kapoor, 2021). However, the internet also poses challenges, such as increasingly fierce competition, changes in consumer preferences and behavior, and threats to data security and privacy (Bandara, Fernando, & Akter, 2020).

Design/Methodology/Approach: This research uses secondary data from the World Bank and UNWTO regarding Internet users, Number of hotel rooms, Total guests, and Tourism arrivals from 2000 to 2022. This research applies a vector autoregression (VAR) model with two lags to test the relationship between five time variables. series, namely Total Guests, Tourism Arrivals, Room Rate, Number Of Rooms, and Internet Users. The VAR model was chosen because it has the lowest information criteria values, namely AIC, SC, and HQ, which shows a high fit to the data.

Findings: Number of Rooms is the variable that has the most influence on other variables, which indicate the capacity and quality of hotel accommodation. Therefore, hotels are advised to increase the Number Of Rooms in order to attract more tourists and increase revenue. Apart from that, Total Guests, Tourism Arrivals, and Room Rate also have a significant effect on several other variables, which reflect the dynamics of market demand and supply, as well as hotel competitiveness. Therefore, hotels are advised to maintain and improve these variables with appropriate marketing strategies, such as promotions, distribution channels and social networks. Meanwhile, Internet User is the weakest variable in the VAR model, which has a negative relationship with Total Guests, Tourism Arrivals, and Room Rate, which reflects the influence of information technology on consumer behavior.

Research, Practical & Social Implications: This research makes a practical contribution by providing solutions for the hotel industry in Indonesia to increase performance and income by utilizing the internet as an effective and efficient marketing medium.

Originality/Value: This research provides a theoretical contribution by examining the influence of the internet as an effective and efficient marketing medium for the hotel industry in Indonesia, which is a topic that has rarely been researched before.

Marco Teórico: El enfoque basado en competencias se describe a partir de la Declaración de Bolonia, que plantea un diseño de planes de estudios que permiten modernizar el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje, en forma continuo y capaz de responder a un nuevo paradigma educativo basado en el aprendizaje centrado en el estudiante.

Metodología: Se utilizó un análisis descriptivo, el estudio comprendió una comparación entre las cohortes 2009-2013 y 2014-2018. Además, se calcularon las tendencias lineales y se realizó un análisis de correlación.

Resultado: Los resultados evidencian que la tasa de aprobación ha mejorado con la aplicación de los nuevos planes de estudios, pero, no ocurre lo mismo con las tasas de retención y titulación, que están condicionadas, principalmente, por factores distintos al diseño curricular.

Investigación, Implicaciones Prácticas y Sociales: Este estudio deja de manifiesto que el rendimiento académico no solo está afectado por el enfoque pedagógico aplicado, también inciden otros factores, como la situación socioeconómica de los alumnos, dualidad trabajo y estudio, las normativas de titulación y la integración social, entre otros.

Originalidad/Valor: Este estudio permite visualizar, en forma exploratoria, que la calidad de la docencia no solo se mide en función de los rendimientos académicos y que los diseños curriculares son un medio y no un fin en la formación professional.

Efficacy and safety of primary and repeated therapy courses of Parkinson’s disease with autologous mesenchymal stromal cells in the long-term period
Authors: Chуzhуk V. A. , Sialitski М. М. , Ponomarev V. V. 
Published: March 2024

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic progressive disease. Currently, PD treatment is symptomatic. One of the promising directions changing the PD therapy course is the use of autologous multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs). Despite the encouraging results in various preclinical and clinical trials and proven safety, the cell therapy questions remain open, such as the choice of an optimal route of administration, dose, and frequency of treatment courses.In the present study, the dynamics of PD motor and non-motor symptoms was assessed after the first and second cell therapy courses using MMSC injections via systemic and tandem methods during a long-term period. A positive therapy effect on the dynamics of motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with PD was revealed for an average of 6 months after one MMSC treatment course. The repeated MMSC treatment course has similar efficacy and safety to the first course and can be used to slow down the PD progression for a longer period.

Published: March 2024

Salah satu langkah pemerintah untuk memulihkan pembelajaran akibat pandemi Covid 19 adalah dengan mengeluarkan kebijakan penggunaan Kurikulum Merdeka Belajar (KMB). Akan tetapi dalam pelaksanaannya sekolah diberikan kebebasan untuk menerapkan kurikulum sesuai dengan kondisi sekolah. SMP Swasta Katolik St. Aloysius Niki-Niki berada pada kategori IKM Mandiri Belajar. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Implementasi KMB belum maksimal. Hal ini disebabkan karena platform ini baru saja dimanfaatkan oleh sekolah sejak Agustus 2022. Selain itu sekolah terkendala dengan pengkategorian yang diberikan yang membatasi ruang gerak sekolah dalam menerapkan KMB. Salah satu cara yang dapat digunakan untuk mempercepat IKM adalah dengan memaksimalkan penggunaan PMM. PMM hadir dengan pendekatan high-tech yang dapat membantu guru dalam memperoleh referensi, inspirasi pemahaman serta pelatihan secara mandiri untuk menerapkan Kurikulum Merdeka. Pengabdi melakukan optimalisasi penggunaan PMM kepada para guru dengan memberikan pelatihan penggunaan PMM. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh Kepala Sekolah dan 19 orang guru. Selain memberikan panduan berisi PMM, tim pengabdi juga memberikan angket pada akhir kegiatan sebagai bagian dari umpan balik terhadap kegiatan pengabdian. Kegiatan optimalisasi PMM juga dinilai sangat menarik karena 80% guru ternyata baru mengikuti pelatihan semacam ini, meskipun 60% guru membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk mengeksplor PMM. Hal ini disebabkan karena jaringan internet yang tidak stabil dan guru belum terbiasa menggunakan platform ini. Namun demikian, hasil rapor Pendidikan SMPS Katolik St. Aloysius Niki-Niki turut memberikan hasil yang menjanjikan terkait partisipasi guru dalam penggunaan PMM dimana angka partisipasi tahun 2022 adalah 10, meningkat sebanyak 622% pada tahun 2023 menjadi 72,2. Hal ini menjadikan sekolah ini berada pada kategori peringkat atas di tingkat Kabupaten/Kota dan berkategori menengah atas secara nasional. Kegiatan pendampingan bagi guru semacam ini sangat diperlukan mengingat para guru juga membutuhkan tambahan wawasan dan sharing pengalaman mengenai IKM. Para guru juga telah berkomitmen untuk terus mengoptimalkan penggunaan PMM dan akan mengubah status IKM menjadi Mandiri Berubah pada tahun 2024.
