Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to understand the factors that influence students in choosing a mathematics major using the factor analysis method. Methodology: Data were collected through structured interviews from 150 students at two different universities using stratified random sampling techniques. Analysis was performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Varimax rotation to identify the main dimensions that influence student preferences. Numerical analysis helped to group the variables into relevant factors based on the loading values Main Findings: Factors that influence students in choosing Mathematics Major consist of 19 variables which are grouped into 5 factors, namely: the first factor is privileges and facilities with an eigenvalue of 4.088%, the second factor is the lecture building and social factors with an eigenvalue of 2.431%, the third factor is the promotion factor with an eigenvalue of 1.743%, the fourth factor is the job factor with an eigenvalue of 1.351%, the fifth factor is the comfort factor with an eigenvalue of 1.148%. Novelty/Originality of this study: These findings provide new insights for educational institutions in designing effective promotional strategies and developing relevant curricula to increase the attractiveness of mathematics majors. The novelty of this study lies in the application of factor analysis to map students' specific reasons, which has rarely been done before in the context of higher education.

Abstract

One of the serious complications that often occurs in leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy is febrile neutropenia, especially in isolation rooms with weak immune systems. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the prevalence of febrile neutropenia and the characteristics of leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy in the Decreased Immunity Isolation Room at Dharmais Cancer Hospital in Jakarta. Data, collected through a descriptive retrospective study design, were obtained from medical records of patients receiving chemotherapy for leukemia between 2013 and 2014, with a sample size of 71 patients calculated using the Slovin formula. The variables analyzed included gender, age, diagnosis, type of chemotherapy, absolute neutrophil count value, and the incidence and characteristics of febrile neutropenia. The results showed that 83.1% of the total patients experienced febrile neutropenia, with the most frequent occurrence on days 8 to 20 after chemotherapy. Most patients with febrile neutropenia had an absolute neutrophil count value of less than 500 cells/µL, indicating a high risk of infection. The majority of patients received antibiotics for the management of febrile neutropenia, with the most commonly used antibiotics being Meropenem and Ceftazidime. This study can help healthcare providers prevent and manage febrile neutropenia in leukemia patients and provide a basis for further research to develop better interventions.
