Abstract

The quality of school counseling interventions is a critical factor in supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional development. Effective counselor training programs are essential for equipping school counselors with the skills and knowledge needed to address diverse student needs. Despite the importance of training, there is limited empirical evidence on the direct impact of such programs on the quality of counseling interventions. This study examines the effect of counselor training programs on intervention quality in schools, focusing on professional competence, intervention outcomes, and counselor confidence. The research aims to evaluate how participation in structured training programs influences the effectiveness of school counselors in delivering interventions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining pre- and post-training surveys, in-depth interviews, and observational analysis. The study involved 150 school counselors across 20 schools, with data analyzed using thematic coding and statistical comparison of intervention outcomes. The findings reveal that participation in training programs significantly improves counselors’ confidence and professional competence, leading to enhanced intervention quality. Key improvements were observed in communication skills, problem-solving strategies, and the ability to tailor interventions to individual student needs. The study concludes that investing in counselor training programs has a substantial positive impact on the overall quality of school counseling services.

Abstract

This study aims to examine agricultural waste treatment technology as a renewable energy source in Mexico, focusing on the potential, challenges, and obstacles faced in its implementation. The background of this research is based on the large amount of agricultural waste produced by Mexico's agricultural sector, most of which has not been optimally utilized to produce renewable energy. The method used in this study is a descriptive-qualitative approach through secondary data analysis, interviews with experts, and case studies in some of the largest agricultural waste producing areas. The results show that although the energy potential of agricultural waste is huge, the rate of technology adoption is still low, due to technological, economic, and policy constraints. The conclusions of this study emphasize the importance of stronger policy support and the provision of adequate infrastructure to encourage wider adoption of waste treatment technology. Education to farmers and rural communities is also needed to increase awareness about the benefits of agricultural waste as an energy source.

Abstract

Drought is a primary constraint on maize (Zea mays L.) productivity worldwide, threatening global food security. The development of climate-resilient crops is therefore a critical priority. This study aimed to enhance drought tolerance in maize by utilizing the CRISPR-Cas9 system to edit a key negative regulator gene involved in the drought stress response pathway. The research employed an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method to introduce the CRISPR-Cas9 construct into maize embryos. Putative edited plants were rigorously screened using molecular techniques, including PCR and Sanger sequencing, to confirm successful gene modification. Validated T1 generation lines were then subjected to controlled drought stress conditions in greenhouse trials and subsequently evaluated in multi-location field trials. The edited maize lines exhibited significantly improved physiological and agronomic performance under water-deficit conditions, including enhanced photosynthetic efficiency, reduced leaf water loss, and a 15-20% increase in grain yield compared to non-edited wild-type controls. This study demonstrates the efficacy of CRISPR-Cas9 for developing drought-tolerant maize, offering a precise and rapid strategy for crop improvement to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Abstract

Early mathematics achievement is a critical predictor of long-term academic success, and understanding the cognitive mechanisms underlying mathematical learning is essential for educational psychology. Executive functions (EF) including working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility play a pivotal role in supporting problem-solving, numerical reasoning, and the acquisition of mathematical concepts. This study aims to examine the contribution of executive functions to early mathematics achievement from a cognitive psychology perspective. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining standardized EF assessments with mathematics performance tests in a sample of children aged 5–7 years. Data were analyzed using correlational and regression techniques to determine the predictive power of specific executive function components. Results indicate that working memory and inhibitory control are strongly associated with early numeracy skills, while cognitive flexibility contributes to adaptive problem-solving in novel mathematical tasks. Children with higher EF scores demonstrated significantly better performance in arithmetic, pattern recognition, and applied problem-solving. The study concludes that integrating EF training into early education curricula could provide a foundation for sustained mathematical competence and cognitive growth.

Abstract

The Carnot limit has long been considered the upper bound for the efficiency of heat engines, a fundamental concept in classical thermodynamics. However, in quantum systems, the possibility exists to surpass this classical boundary by exploiting quantum phenomena such as coherence. This study investigates the enhancement of a quantum heat engine's efficiency beyond the Carnot limit through coherence-assisted bath coupling. The primary objective of the research is to explore how quantum coherence between the system and its thermal bath can be used to reduce dissipation, optimize energy transfer, and increase efficiency. The research employs both theoretical modeling and computational simulations to analyze the performance of a quantum heat engine under varying coherence times and bath coupling strengths. By adjusting these parameters, the study examines the effects of coherence-assisted bath coupling on engine efficiency. The results demonstrate that, through careful manipulation of the coherence time and bath coupling strength, the quantum engine can exceed the Carnot efficiency, achieving a maximum efficiency of 78.7%. This finding indicates that quantum coherence can be used as a resource to enhance the performance of quantum heat engines. In conclusion, this study presents a new approach to quantum thermodynamics, showing that coherence-assisted bath coupling provides a viable path to enhancing quantum heat engine efficiency beyond classical limits.

Abstract

Background. Environmental history in the Indonesian archipelago has often relied on geological data, colonial records, and contemporary environmental reports, leaving indigenous textual traditions underexamined as potential sources of ecological knowledge. Babad Tanah Jawi, a key corpus of ancient Javanese historiographical manuscripts, contains rich descriptions of natural events, celestial signs, and social responses to environmental disruptions, yet its value as an ecological archive has not been systematically explored. Purpose. This study aims to investigate how these manuscripts document patterns of climate variability, environmental calamities, and ecological transformations, and to assess their relevance for reconstructing long-term environmental change in Java. Method. A philological research design was employed to analyze selected manuscript variants through textual criticism, intertextual comparison, and thematic ecological coding. The analysis identified recurrent references to volcanic eruptions, prolonged droughts, exceptional rainfall, crop failures, and shifts in river courses, which align with known geological and climatological data. Results. The findings also highlight indigenous interpretive frameworks that connect environmental disturbances with moral, cosmic, and political meanings, revealing the epistemological foundations through which premodern Javanese societies understood ecological instability. Conclusion. The study concludes that Babad Tanah Jawi offers valuable supplementary evidence for reconstructing historical climate patterns while also enriching contemporary environmental humanities through its integration of cosmology, ecology, and social memory. These insights underscore the importance of indigenous manuscripts as cultural-ecological repositories that can broaden interdisciplinary approaches to climate history, disaster studies, and resilience research.

Abstract

Background. The emergence of Islamic feminism in Indonesia represents a significant redefinition of gender discourse within an Islamic framework. This study explores how the Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia (KUPI) constructs and disseminates ideas of gender equality rooted in Qur’anic hermeneutics, Islamic jurisprudence, and social justice principles. Purpose. The research aims to analyze the theological, sociocultural, and political narratives articulated by female ulama to promote gender-inclusive interpretations of Islam. Method. Using a qualitative approach based on critical discourse analysis, the study examines official congress documents, public sermons, and media statements produced during and after the congress sessions (2017–2022). Results. The findings reveal that KUPI reframes gender equality not as a Western liberal import but as an authentic Islamic ethical imperative grounded in rahmatan lil ‘alamin values. Female ulama reinterpret classical texts to challenge patriarchal readings and advocate for women’s leadership, protection from gender-based violence, and equitable religious authority. Conclusion. The study concludes that Islamic feminism in Indonesia represents a contextualized form of theological activism that bridges Islamic scholarship, social advocacy, and policymaking, thereby expanding the epistemological boundaries of gender justice within the Muslim world.

Abstract

The rigidity of traditional standardized education often fails to address the diverse cognitive needs of modern learners, necessitating a paradigm shift toward more adaptive instructional models. This study investigates the transformative potential of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into secondary curricula to facilitate the transition from mass instruction to personalized pedagogy. Utilizing a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design, we evaluated the academic and operational impact of an AI-driven adaptive learning framework on a cohort of 600 students and 30 educators over a twelve-week intervention. The research benchmarked an AI-augmented experimental group against a control group receiving traditional direct instruction using standardized assessments and telemetry data. Empirical results demonstrate that the AI-integrated model yielded a statistically significant 11.4% increase in concept mastery (p<0.001) and substantially compressed the achievement gap within the classroom. Furthermore, the automation of administrative tasks reclaimed five hours of weekly instructor time, facilitating a strategic redistribution of labor toward high-value mentorship. We conclude that AI acts as a critical force multiplier that does not replace the teacher but fundamentally restructures the instructional core, validating a “Symbiotic Intelligence” approach that couples machine efficiency with human empathy to optimize educational outcomes.
