Abstract

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and criminal justice, presenting both remarkable opportunities and complex ethical challenges. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in decision-making processes, concerns about individual rights, social equity, and public trust are growing, especially in high-stakes contexts. These ethical implications underscore the critical need for robust frameworks that emphasize AI transparency, accountability, and fairness to mitigate risks such as bias and ensure responsible usage. Despite the increased focus on ethical AI practices, there remains a considerable gap in understanding how these frameworks impact societal perceptions and behaviors toward AI. This study seeks to address this gap by investigating the effects of ethical AI practices—specifically transparency, accountability, and fairness—on public perceptions and behaviors. The study employs a quantitative approach, using purposive sampling to select a sample of AI-knowledgeable participants and analyzing the data with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). This methodological approach allows for a detailed exploration of the relationships between ethical AI practices and societal impacts. Additionally, the study examines the mediated pathways through which these ethical practices influence AI’s societal and behavioral impacts, hypothesizing that transparency and accountability foster trust and positive engagement. By developing a framework that aligns ethical AI practices with societal values, this study aims to advance the broader goals of societal trust, public acceptance, and sustainable social integration of AI technologies. These insights contribute to the growing body of knowledge on responsible AI deployment, supporting ethical alignment in diverse AI applications and promoting trustworthiness in AI-driven systems

Abstract

This study introduces a novel application of the Modified Trend-Augmented α-Sutte Indicator (BetaSutte) model for forecasting Indonesia's export prices and compares its performance with the traditional ARIMA approach. Accurate export price forecasting is crucial for economic planning, trade policy formulation, and business strategy development in Indonesia's dynamic and globally connected economy. Using monthly export value data from January 2022 to September 2024 obtained from Indonesia's Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), we examined whether the BetaSutte model's decomposition of trend and residual components offers enhanced predictive accuracy over the conventional ARIMA methodology. Results show that while the ARIMA(0,1,0) model demonstrated superior in-sample performance (Training MAPE: 7.71% vs. 80.78%), the BetaSutte model achieved better out-of-sample forecasting accuracy (Testing MAPE: 11.22% vs. 11.61%). The BetaSutte model's linear trend component identified a negative slope (coefficient: -158.4), indicating a systematic decline in Indonesia's export values over the study period, which has important implications for trade policy. Furthermore, the model successfully captured the volatility in export prices through its residual forecasting component. These findings suggest that the BetaSutte model's explicit modeling of trend components provides meaningful advantages for export price forecasting, despite its more complex implementation. This research contributes to the growing literature on hybrid forecasting methodologies and offers practical guidance for stakeholders interested in Indonesia's international trade dynamics. For policymakers, the results highlight potential challenges for Indonesia's export competitiveness and suggest the need for targeted interventions to address the identified downward trend in export values.

Abstract

The evolving landscape of engineering education requires the development of advanced cognitive skills, particularly complex problem-solving (CPS). As engineering challenges grow in complexity, CPS has become a vital competency. However, research on CPS in engineering education remains scattered. This study presents a systematic bibliometric analysis to uncover trends, key contributors, and thematic focuses in CPS-related research. Using the Scopus database and VOSviewer 1.6.20, the study analyzed publications based on co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence. The five-stage bibliometric approach by Masitoh et al. (2021) and Bukar et al. (2023) was adopted, encompassing keyword selection, data retrieval, screening, analysis, and visualization. Findings show a notable rise in CPS publications after 2010, peaking between 2022 and 2024. Dominant keywords include “active learning,” “simulation,” “artificial intelligence,” and “project-based learning,” indicating a shift toward AI-driven, technology-enhanced approaches. China, the United States, and India lead in research output, reflecting global efforts in reforming engineering education. The study highlights the growing emphasis on interdisciplinary and problem-based learning. Despite this momentum, regional disparities remain. Insights from this analysis are valuable for curriculum developers, educators, and policymakers to enhance CPS integration and guide future research toward more holistic and inclusive approaches

Abstract

Highly competent teachers are vital in developing globally competent individuals. There is a lack of empirical evidence supporting the validity aspect of the Malaysian Teachers' Global Competency Level Instrument. This study aims to evaluate face and content validity. A survey research design with a quantitative approach was conducted. It involves two experts for face validity and eight experts for content validity using purposive sampling techniques. For face validity, the two experts appointed were Malay language teachers with more than five years of teaching experience. To assess content validity, eight experts, including four professionals in measurement, evaluation, and global competency, and four field practitioners: teacher educators, and outstanding teachers. The instrument consists of 73 items with four constructs: self-awareness, global awareness, attitudes & values, and skills. The analysis involved Cohen’s Kappa for face validity, while content validity involved CVR and CVI. The results showed that face validity was (N=2, k=0.640), while for content validity, (N=8, CVI=0.95, and CVR=2 items refined). This instrument demonstrates strong validity as a measurement tool for the global competency level of Malaysian teachers. Further studies are recommended to be conducted: employing an advanced statistical analysis, like the Rasch Model, to enhance higher-quality items.

Abstract

This study applies Monte Carlo simulation to analyze and compare the Value at Risk (VaR) of two Indonesian airline stocks—PT Garuda Indonesia (full-service carrier) and PT AirAsia Indonesia (low-cost carrier)—using daily return data from January to December 2023. The research examines risk-return characteristics at individual stock and portfolio levels across different confidence intervals (99%, 95%, and 90%). Results reveal that PT Garuda Indonesia exhibits higher expected returns (0.5168%) but also higher volatility (3.5980%) compared to PT AirAsia Indonesia (0.2412% return, 2.4868% volatility), reflecting their different business models. Remarkably, an equal-weight portfolio demonstrates extraordinary diversification benefits, with positive VaR values across all confidence levels, indicating robust downside protection even in adverse market conditions. At 99% confidence, the monetary VaR for a Rp100,000,000 investment shows potential maximum losses of Rp7,984,331 for Garuda and Rp5,460,951 for AirAsia, while the portfolio generates a minimum gain of Rp1,886,373. This study highlights the effectiveness of Monte Carlo VaR in capturing complex risk dynamics, demonstrates significant intra-sector diversification benefits challenging conventional diversification wisdom, and provides insights into how different airline business models translate into distinctive risk-return profiles. These findings have important implications for investment decision-making and risk management in specialized industry contexts, particularly in emerging markets.

Abstract

This research examines the risk profiles of XRPUSD and ADAUSD cryptocurrencies through Value at Risk (VaR) analysis with Monte Carlo simulation, providing quantitative risk assessments for both individual assets and a diversified portfolio. Analyzing historical price data from January 2016 to November 2024, the study identifies distinctive risk characteristics between these cryptocurrencies: ADAUSD exhibited marginally higher historical returns (1.44% monthly) compared to XRPUSD (1.42%), but with notably higher volatility (standard deviation of 5.41% versus 4.65%). The Monte Carlo simulation with 1,000 iterations generated VaR estimates at multiple confidence levels, revealing that XRPUSD consistently demonstrated lower downside risk than ADAUSD across all confidence thresholds. At the 99% confidence level, ADAUSD showed a Mean VaR of -10.97%, indicating potential monthly losses exceeding $10.97 million on a hypothetical $100 million investment, while XRPUSD's lower Mean VaR of -9.52% translated to potential losses of approximately $9.52 million. The most striking finding emerged from the portfolio analysis, which revealed dramatic risk reduction through diversification—the equally-weighted portfolio achieved a Mean VaR of merely -2.22% at the 99% confidence level, representing an approximately 80% reduction in potential losses compared to ADAUSD alone. These results demonstrate that cryptocurrency diversification can substantially mitigate extreme downside risk while maintaining exposure to the digital asset class. The significant risk reduction achieved through a simple two-asset allocation validates the application of modern portfolio theory principles to cryptocurrency investments despite their unique characteristics and underscores the critical importance of diversified approaches rather than concentrated positions for risk-conscious cryptocurrency investors. This research contributes to both theoretical understanding of cryptocurrency risk dynamics and practical portfolio construction approaches, providing quantitative evidence for the value of diversification strategies in navigating the substantial volatility inherent in digital asset markets.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the acceptance of the implementation of STEM approaches in teaching and learning by secondary school teachers in the Federal Territory of Labuan. This study uses a quantitative assessment approach of a sample survey type. Data were collected through the STEM Implementation Acceptance Questionnaire involving 314 teachers who were randomly selected from nine secondary schools. Rasch model data analysis using WINSTEPS Version 3.69.1 software was applied to produce a Wright Map to measure the acceptance aspects of STEM implementation through the study questionnaire items. The results of the study showed that items that were difficult to accept included making quantitative predictions (measure > 1 logit), reducing exam stress, and developing a problem-solving model, while items that were easy to accept were fostering positive values, early planning, and various teaching and learning methods (measure < -1 logit). The component of teacher belief in STEM recorded the highest mean measure value (0.43 logit), followed by attitude (-0.30 logit) and teacher commitment (-0.11 logit). Teachers were more likely to accept the aspects of attitude and commitment than belief in the importance of STEM. The findings of this study provide an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of teachers' acceptance of STEM implementation in teaching and learning, which should be taken into account to increase teachers' confidence, attitude, and commitment towards the implementation of STEM in secondary schools.
