Mathematical beliefs and metacognitive knowledge play significant roles in solving mathematical problems; thus, this study aims to investigate the influence of middle school students' beliefs on their metacognitive knowledge when solving geometry problems. This study utilizes both quantitative and qualitative research methods. A linear regression test was used to determine the effect of middle school students' beliefs on their metacognitive knowledge. The results of the quantitative research analysis were followed up with a qualitative research approach to describe the metacognitive knowledge of students who have high and low confidence in solving geometric problems. This research involved 352 middle school students in the Tarakan area. Based on the results of linear regression, it is known that the beliefs of middle school students have a positive effect on their metacognitive knowledge when solving geometric problems. In addition, it was found that students with different beliefs could solve a given geometry problem, but the approach to solving it varied among subjects. Middle school students have diverse beliefs, but these variations do not affect their capacity to apply their metacognitive knowledge at every stage of solving mathematical problems.

This study describes prospective teachers' perspectives on collaborative problem-solving (CPS) in mathematics. The study employed a 20-item questionnaire distributed to 47 prospective mathematics teachers in Indonesia. The questionnaire responses were scored, and two participants with the highest and lowest mean score were interviewed. Despite being quite similar in perspectives on perseverance and interest in collaboration, the prospective teacher with the highest mean score showed more openness to problems and the value of teamwork. Further research can be done by investigating how prospective teachers' perspectives relate to their knowledge of CPS or teaching practices.

Abstract Rapid economic growth in Indonesia and Malaysia has widened the gap in emergency care supply and demand, intensifying challenges. Our study, from August to November 2022, assesses current diverse challenges in both countries' emergency care systems from frontline staff perspectives. The online survey involved emergency department (ED) personnel from 11 hospitals in Indonesia and Malaysia, drawing from an existing network. The survey collected data on respondents’ characteristics, factors affecting prehospital and ED care quality, missing clinical information, and factors influencing patients’ ED stay duration. With 83 respondents from Indonesia and 109 from Malaysia, the study identified common challenges. In both countries, inadequate clinical information from ambulances posed a primary challenge in prehospital care quality, while crowdedness during night shifts affected ED care quality. Frequent gaps in essential clinical information, such as family and medication history, were observed. Prolonged ED stays were associated with diagnostic studies and their turnaround time. This study offers insights into shared challenges in Indonesia and Malaysia's emergency care systems. Our findings stress recognizing common and country-specific challenges for enhanced emergency care quality in Southeast Asia, supporting tailored interventions.

With the maturity of the franchise system, franchisors have to look for new markets to capitalize constantly. This continuing expansion comes at the expense of the existing franchise establishments, as it could lead to territorial encroachment. One possible solution to mitigate this problem is by offering territorial exclusivity rights (TER) of new potential location to the existing franchisee. Yet, pricing the value of TER is not simple due to contingent claim nature of this rights. Hence, the goal of this paper is to model the TER using real options approach, a financial options valuation method that applies in real business. The real options will be built using Datar–Mathews method and then simulated using hypothetical case data. Results and implications are also discussed.

ABSTRACT. Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) causes a decrease in soybean [Glycine max (Leguminosae) Merril] production. Activity of the Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pseudomonadaceae ) and chitosan can increase soybean plant resistance to SMV and stimulate plant growth. Therefore, The study aimed to evaluate the effect of increasing salicylic acid and total phenol contents on the biological control activity of P. fluorescens and chitosan against SMV. This study used two soybean varieties (Wilis and Anjasmoro) and three lines (GK/Mlg 3288-7-11, W/PI 200.485-7-14, and GK/PI200.485-7-2). Treatment using seed encapsulation with P. fluorescens combined with chitosan on the Wilis variety was the highest percentage of the total phenolic and salicylic acid content. In addition, Applying P. fluorescens with chitosan suppresses disease incidence on the Wilis variety and GK/Mlg 3288-7-11 line. Moreover, the ELISA absorbance value was low (0.182−0.224) and reacted negatively with no symptoms. Therefore, applying P. fluorescens combined with chitosan on the GK/Mlg 3288-7-11 line could be developed as the candidate variety for SMV control in the endemic soybean plant area. Keywords: Disease incidence, ELISA, induce systemic resistance, secondary metabolites, soybean.

A significant amount of scholarly investigation has recently focused on metacognitive activity. However, the examination of metacognitive variations in solving math problems that are still limited in scope. This case study examines gender differences in activity variations of metacognitive activities, specifically awareness, regulation, and evaluation, in prospective teachers solving mathematical problems based on mathematical models. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Twelve male and sixteen female participants were chosen from those who participated in the 'capita selecta' mathematics course at a public university in West Java, Indonesia. The data were collected through mathematical problem-solving tasks and interviews. The results show that the variations in metacognitive activities between male and female participants are different. Females tend to be more complex and structured in their evaluation activities, while males tend to be more complex and structured in their awareness activities. Based on the results, recommendations are made for future studies.

Background Childhood maltreatment and peer victimisation are common sources of early-life interpersonal stress. Childhood maltreatment is associated with atypical frontolimbic emotion processing and regulation, and increased vulnerability for self-harm/suicide. However, few studies have compared the neurofunctional correlates between caregiver- versus peer-inflicted mistreatment. Aims We compared the alterations of neurofunctional correlates of facial emotion processing in youths exposed to childhood maltreatment or peer victimisation, and explored their associations with self-harm. Method Functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from 114 age- and gender-matched youths (39 childhood maltreatment, 37 peer victimisation and 38 controls) during an emotion discrimination task. Region-of-interest (amygdala, insula) and whole-brain analyses were conducted. Results Groups differed significantly during disgust processing only. Both groups had lower activation in the right amygdala and bilateral posterior insula than controls; left insular underactivation was furthermore related to increased self-harm in maltreated youths. Compared with controls, at the whole-brain level, both groups also had underactivation in a cluster of bilateral limbic-thalamic-striatal, precuneus/posterior cingulate, temporal, fusiform/lingual and cerebellar regions, which was negatively associated with emotional problems in controls, as well as a cluster of somatosensory regions associated with increased self-harm in maltreated youths. Conclusions Early-life interpersonal stress from caregivers or peers is associated with common underactivation of limbic-thalamic-striatal, precuneus/posterior cingulate and somatosensory regions during disgust processing. The hypoactivation of key emotion and sensory processing and self-referential brain regions could be a potential suppressive mechanism to cope with the aversive emotion; however, it may also entail increased risk of affective psychopathology in seemingly healthy youths.

Many studies reported the importance of mathematical justification in collaborative problem-solving (CPS). However, not all tasks could stimulate mathematical justification in CPS. This study explores the potential of a decision-making task in facilitating mathematical justification in CPS of a derivative topic. Two groups of 12 graders in Bandung, Indonesia solved a task. The group works were observed, recorded, and the written works were collected. The findings showed that the task encouraged the groups to focus on justifying mathematical claims. Both groups successfully solved the task, yet different mathematical justifications were observed. We discussed the possible roles of the task difficulty and groups’ mathematics ability in promoting mathematical justifications. Checking the effectiveness of the task on a larger sample was recommended for further studies.

Recent demographic changes have seen an increase in dual-income households, with partners working for financial stability but often sacrificing their role in the household. This suggests the need for greater support from organizations in the modern family structure. As an institution that audits the financial statements of public institutions in Indonesia, the quality of BPK-RI audits has a direct impact on the accountability and transparency of state finances. BPK-RI auditors face significant challenges, such as balancing workloads with family responsibilities and high levels of stress that can potentially interfere with employee performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of work-family conflict and job stress on auditor performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable in the study at BPK-RI West Sumatra. This study used primary data from filling out questionnaires, which were analyzed using the SEM-PLS method. The results showed that work-family conflict had a positive and significant effect on performance, and job satisfaction could be a mediating variable in the relationship between work-family conflict and performance. Conversely, job stress did not affect performance and job satisfaction could not be a mediating variable in the relationship between work-family conflict and performance.

Reasoning profile is description of the process of logical thinking in solving mathematical problems related to determining a conclusion using the knowledge possessed in the cognitive structure. The indicators used to reveal the profile of reasoning include understanding the problem, making a settlement plan, carrying out the settlement plan, and looking back at the results that have been resolved. Geometry is a part of mathematics that discusses the shape and size of an object that has a certain regularity. Geometry problems are problems in the form of geometry (three dimensions) for which routine procedures are not available for solving. Meanwhile, gender differences affect the reasoning profess in solving geometric problems. This study aims to describe the reasoning profiles of high school students with masculine male and feminine gender in solving geometric problems. This descriptive research with a qualitative approach was carried out in class XI of SMA Negeri 1 Sidayu in the 2022/2023 academic year. The subjects of this study were two students of class XI who had equal mathematical abilities. Data collection was carried out by in-depth subject interviews based on the Geometry Problem Solving Task. Geometry Problem Solving Tasks in the form of description geometry questions. In collecting data using time triangulation techniques to obtain credible data. Data analysis was carried out by condensing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that masculine male students used logical thinking in solving problems with a more analytical nature in giving appropriate arguments. Whereas feminine women use logical thinking in solving problems but in giving arguments they are less analytical. This shows that the reasoning profile of masculine boys in solving geometry problems is better than feminine girls. Differences in reasoning profiles result in students' abilities in mathematical activities will havetesi an impact on student learning outcomes.

. This study aimed to develop a paper-based glucose sensor using artificial sweat and saliva samples, a non-invasive, practical, and affordable concept for measuring glucose levels. The chosen method was the colorimetric method using the Glucose Oxidase (GOx) enzyme, Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) enzyme, and 3,3?-diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogen. The wax stamping method was utilized on a piece of filter paper to test the glucose sensor. The test was carried out in several stages, including testing various concentrations of reagents and wax stamping sizes, fabricating the glucose sensors, and testing multiple concentrations of glucose, artificial sweat, and artificial saliva. The RGB method was used to test the resulting color. The data obtained were then validated using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. The GOx concentration on the glucose sensor affected the color change velocity. The HRP, DAB, and wax stamping size concentration simultaneously indicated a strong correlation with changes in the color intensity that appeared on the glucose sensor. The glucose sensor in this study could measure the glucose concentration of the artificial sweat and saliva samples, respectively, from 0-3000 and 0.9987. This study proved a strong correlation between the reagents' concentration and the color intensity on the developed glucose sensor.

Apart from physical health problems, the COVID-19 outbreak also affected psychological health, causing extreme fear of this pandemic. Thus, this study aims to investigate the relationship between nurse performance and the fear of COVID-19 mediated by job insecurity and job satisfaction with conservation of resources theory as the lens. Data from 260 nurses were collected through an online structured questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling-partial least squares. The direct effect findings show that COVID-19 fear influences job insecurity (p < 0.05) but does not influence job satisfaction and nurse performance (p > 0.05). Besides, job insecurity significantly influences job satisfaction and nurse performance (p < 0.05). On the other hand, job satisfaction has no effect on nurse performance (p > 0.05). Then, the indirect effect results show that job insecurity fully mediates the influence of COVID-19 fear on job satisfaction and nurse performance (p < 0.05). Likewise, job satisfaction partially mediates the influence of job insecurity on nurse performance (p < 0.05) but does not mediate the fear of COVID-19 on nurse performance (p > 0.05). These findings provide evidence that the fear of COVID-19 plays an essential role for job insecurity, influencing job satisfaction and nurse performance. These results can develop strategies for better human resource management in nursing staff and provide pragmatic insight into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

AbstractThe Indonesian electricity industry was under the management of PLN, presenting a significant opportunity to embrace renewable energy sources in response to tightening green energy regulations. This study utilized the sustainable business model concept, deconstructing the value economic, socio-cultural, and ecological. The goal was to pinpoint critical factors influencing business strategies for supplying renewable energy electricity to customers. Employing the Delphi method, which compiles expert consensus from PLN, was the subject of this study. In achieving a value delivery, collaboration with the government, suppliers, and technology partners played a vital role to achieving business objectives. Understanding customer requirements and desires was imperative for renewable energy companies in Indonesia to meet customer expectations. The value creation dimension emphasized establishing strong relationships and ensuring consumer satisfaction to foster loyalty. The value proposition served as the bedrock for articulating the distinct benefits of products and services, setting the company apart from competitors. Within the Indonesian renewable energy context, value capture stood as a crucial component in shaping a company’s business strategy. This involved efficiently managing production costs, investment costs, and attribute costs to guarantee consistent and profitable revenue. Future research should explore priority factors in-depth and craft intricate business models tailored to meticulously analyzed priorities.

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS - Glomus mosseae and Pseudomonas fluorescens enhance soybean resistance to SMV. - Ten-day drip irrigation stop at bloom stage boosts seed yield and weight. - Treatment reduces disease severity and increases P. fluorescens population. - Water-saving irrigation method improves soybean performance in dry seasons. - Combining G. mosseae and P. fluorescens increases soybean productivity. ABSTRACT Soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] require much water, especially in the early stages of growth, flowering, and pod formation and filling. Drought stress on soybeans will increase with global climate change. The research aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Glomus mosseae and Pseudomonas fluorescens in inducing systemic resistance to control Soybean Mosaic Virus (SMV) and the performance of soybean plants with drip irrigation in the dry season. The drip irrigation was stopped for ten days at the beginning of bloom, full bloom, beginning pod, and regular drip irrigation. The application of G. mosseae inoculants used 100 g of sterile compost mixed with 30 spores. The liquid inoculum of P. fluorescens was applied on cotyledonary leaves using the watering method. The plants were inoculated with SMV 6 and 12 days after the P. fluorescens treatment. The symptoms of SMV were recorded two weeks after inoculation, and Indirect ELISA detected the virus. The results showed the combination of G. mosseae and P. fluorescens under drip irrigation stopped at the beginning of bloom for ten days on ELISA absorbance values and disease severity of 0.259 and 3.72 %, respectively. Moreover, this treatment showed the highest values for the 100-seed weight, seed yield, and fresh weight of leaves. The technique of giving water by stopping drip irrigation at the beginning of bloom for ten days will help save water and increase the P. fluorescens population optimally in Alfisols with a pH of between 4.5 and 5.1 with incredibly low fertility. The combination of G. mosseae and P. fluorescens population resulted in a significant increase in the number of G. mosseae’s spores by stopping drip irrigation at the beginning of bloom for ten days.

Developing the Indonesian Version of the Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal Questionnaire (IDN-OSIVQ) aims to create a culturally adapted and validated instrument for assessing object-spatial imagery abilities in the Indonesian population. The research utilized a developmental method to test the instrument's reliability and validity through rigorous adaptation procedures, including translation, back-translation, expert review, and pilot testing. Data from 153 students were analyzed to establish the internal consistency, construct validity, and factor structure of the IDN-OSIVQ. Results showed that the IDN-OSIVQ scales had satisfactory internal reliability, with principal component analysis confirming distinct and coherent factors. Object imagery had the highest average score (3.6662), while spatial imagery had the lowest (3.1765). Criterion validity was established as participants' ratings correlated favorably with corresponding tasks. Gender differences were observed: men scored higher on spatial imagery and women on object imagery, yet these differences did not overshadow the strong associations between cognitive style ratings and objective measures. The cultural adaptation process ensured the questionnaire's relevance and comprehensibility, enhancing its applicability. The findings support the IDN-OSIVQ as a reliable and valid tool, suggesting future research should involve more diverse age groups.

Students are more likely to obtain correct solutions in solving derivative problems. Even though students can complete it correctly, they may not necessarily be able to explain the solution well. Cognition and communication by the students will greatly affect the subsequent learning process. The aim of this study is to describe students' commognition of routine aspects in understanding derivative tasks for heterogeneous groups of cognitive styles-field dependent and independent. This qualitative study involved six third-semester mathematics education students in the city of Palu, Indonesia. We divided the subjects into two groups with field-independent (FI) and field-dependent (FD) cognitive styles. The first group consisted of two FI students and one FD student, and the second group consisted of two FD students and one FI student. Moreover, the subjects also have relatively the same mathematical ability and feminine gender. Data was collected through task-based observations, focused group discussions, and interviews. We conducted data analysis in 3 stages, namely data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing-verification. The results showed that the subjects were more likely to use routine ritual discourse, namely flexibility on the exemplifying category, by whom the routine is performed on classifying and summarizing categories, applicability on inferring category, and closing conditional on explaining category. The result of ritual routine is a process-oriented routine through individualizing. This result implies that solving the questions is not only oriented towards the correct answers or only being able to answer, but also students need to explain it well.

Background: Human navigation of social interactions relies on the processing of emotion on faces. This meta-analysis aimed to produce an updated brain atlas of emotional face processing from whole-brain studies based on a single emotional face-viewing paradigm (PROSPERO CRD42022251548). Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search of Embase, MEDLINE and PsycINFO from May 2008 to October 2021. We used seed-based d mapping with permutation of subject images to conduct a quantitative meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging contrasts between emotional (e.g., angry, happy) and neutral faces. We conducted agglomerative hierarchical clustering of meta- analytic map contrasts of emotional faces relative to neutral faces. We investigated lateralization of emotional face processing. Results: From 5549 studies identified, 55 data sets (1489 healthy participants) met our inclusion criteria. Relative to neutral faces, we found extensive activation clusters by fearful faces in the right inferior temporal gyrus, right fusiform area, left putamen and amygdala, right parahippocampalgyrus and cerebellum; we found smaller activation clusters by angry faces in the right cerebellum and right middle temporal gyrus (MTG) and by disgusted faces in the left MTG. Happy and sad faces did not reach statistical significance. Clustering analyses showed similar activation patterns of fearful and angry faces; activation patterns of happy and sad faces showed the least correlation with other emotional faces. Emotional face processing was predominantly left-lateralized in the amygdala and anterior insula, and right-lateralized in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Limitations: Reliance on discretized effect sizes based on peak coordinate location instead of statistical brain maps, and the varying level of statistical threshold reporting from original studies, could lead to underdetection of smaller clusters of activation. Conclusion: Processing of emotional faces appeared to be oriented toward identifying threats on faces, from highest (i.e., angry or fearful faces) to lowest level (i.e., happy or sad faces), with a more complex lateralization pattern than previously theorized. Emotional faces may be processed in latent grouping but organized by threat content rather than emotional valence., Introduction Human beings are a socially complex species. (1) Our ability to navigate social interactions is dependent, in part, on the effective processing of emotions on faces. Such processing allows [...]

The West Sumatra - Riau toll road is expected to generate a favourable influence on the local economy, thereby enhancing the overall wellbeing of society. However, this progress does not eliminate some of the potential negative impacts, because the construction of toll roads will divert some of the public's transportation movements, thereby posing a threat to business activities along the diverted transportation routes. To anticipate these potential impacts, it is important to conduct a study that focuses on anticipating the potential socio-economic impacts of the construction of the West Sumatra – Riau toll road. A Focus Group Discussion was conducted with delegates from several Payakumbuh Municipal Government. A total of nineteen participants, comprising ten males and nine females, participated in the focus group discussion. The discussion remarks were methodically categorised and analysed. The study findings elucidate many potential ramifications of the construction of the West Sumatra - Riau toll road on Payakumbuh City, as well as proposed measures that might be implemented to mitigate these ramifications. The research findings can serve as a foundation for developing a regional development strategy for Payakumbuh City. The objective is to optimise the effects of toll road construction on the social and economic well-being of the community, ensuring equitable and balanced outcomes.

Background This paper discusses the lack of references that comprehensively describe the changes in universities owing to the ideology of neoliberalism. This research also discusses how a university maintains its function and identity when the great wave of neoliberalism massively erodes collegiality as the original philosophy of the university through a case study of the neoliberalism ideology on higher education. This study also provides a comprehensive framework for higher education management and governance changes. Methods We selected all retrieved sources based on the keywords and analyzed all the documents we obtained. This study obtained data from Scopus retrieved on October 27, 2023, using the following keywords: (TITLE-ABS-KEY ('collegiality') OR TITLE-ABS-KEY ('change management') OR TITLE-ABS-KEY ('neolibelism')) AND TITLE-ABS-KEY ('higher education'). This study utilized bibliometric analysis to ensure a structured review of the literature on collegiality, change management, and neoliberalism in higher education. Results The findings show that organizational management, leadership, education, technology, curriculum, innovation, organizational change, decision-making, and human beings are significant trajectories of neoliberalism in higher education. Conclusions This study offers other constructs for accelerating leadership success in higher education. This relates to how change leadership can navigate changes resulting from neoliberal ideology.

The rise of audio-as-data in social science research accentuates a fundamental challenge: establishing reproducible and reliable methodologies to guide this emerging area of study. In this study, we focus on the reproducibility of audio-as-data preparation methods in computational communication research and evaluate the accuracy of popular audio-as-data tools. We analyze automated transcription and computational phonology tools applied to 200 episodes of conservative talk shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones. Our findings reveal that the tools we tested are highly accurate. However, despite different transcription and audio signal processing tools yield similar results, subtle yet significant variations could impact the findings’ reproducibility. Specifically, we find that discrepancies in automated transcriptions and auditory features such as pitch and intensity underscore the need for meticulous reproduction of data preparation procedures. These insights into the variability introduced by different tools stress the importance of detailed methodological reporting and consistent processing techniques to ensure the replicability of research outcomes. Our study contributes to the broader discourse on replicability and reproducibility by highlighting the nuances of audio data preparation and advocating for more transparent and standardized practices in this area.

Instruments are tool that used to collect research data. The instrument consists of two types, namely the main and supporting instruments. In this paper, we develop the supporting instruments which are used in qualitative research such as commognitive perspective. The instrument development aims to explore and reveal students' cognition in understanding derivative tasks that are valid and reliable. It means the instrument is needed in order to explore cognition and communication in an inseparable manner according to the theory used in this research. The two supporting instruments that developed in this study are the mathematical ability test (MAT) and the derivatives understanding task (TMT). Moreover, the developed MAT instrument is accompanied by source questions, grids and indicators. The MAT consists of 10 questions, and this was tested empirically in the category of valid and high reliability. Furthermore, TMT is developed as a reference for exploring student commognition.
