Abstract

Research collaboration in the study of social conflict and peace is essential for advancing knowledge and addressing societal challenges. This paper employs a bibliometric approach to analyze the network of research collaboration in this field, focusing on interdisciplinary perspectives and evolving trends over time. Through network analysis, thematic clusters are identified, including conflict emergence, societal development, global issues, post-conflict justice, and peacebuilding efforts. The temporal component highlights shift in research focus from 2008 to 2014, indicating emerging trends such as peace education and societal belief. Furthermore, the heatmap overlay identifies potential future research topics, with less-explored areas offering opportunities for new contributions. This study provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners involved in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and social cohesion initiatives.

Abstract

Customer loyalty is critical for success in today's saturated mobile telecommunications industry. However, maintaining allegiance remains challenging given technology advancements and intensifying competition. This study examines the determinants of loyalty towards Simpati, the prepaid brand of Indonesia's largest operator Telkomsel. A qualitative case study methodology was employed, comprising an extensive literature review on customer experience, satisfaction, trust, switching costs and their influence on brand loyalty in the mobile sector. Particular focus was placed on publications related to Telkomsel and its prepaid offerings. Customer data from secondary sources was also analyzed to identify patterns relating to the research objectives. The findings indicate that service quality is a key antecedent of customer experience and satisfaction. Superior fulfillment of expectations cultivates a positive brand image and drives attachment. Meanwhile, affective factors like emotional engagement and trust act as mediators reinforcing loyalty intentions over the long-term. Competitive pricing and targeted promotional campaigns also enhance perceived value. Additionally, high perceived switching costs curb defection propensity due to customers' sunk investments in the relationship.

Abstract

This literature review examines the impact of carrying heavy backpacks on primary school students and explores possible solutions in the digital age. Through a systematic analysis of 30 selected studies published between 2013 and 2024, this review finds that excessive backpack weight significantly affects students' physical health, psychological well-being and social development. The key results show a correlation between the weight of the bag more than 10% of the body weight of the students and an increased risk of musculoskeletal problems, decreased motivation to learn and reduced participation in the social activity. Innovative solutions such as the use of digital technologies, the reformulation of school curricula and the improvement of school infrastructure show that they can solve this problem. This review highlights the importance of a holistic approach involving all stakeholders to address the challenge of heavy bags in the digital age.
