Abstract

Abstract This study aims to examine the effect of upward comparison on body dissatisfaction among female patients at aesthetic clinics. The research employed a quantitative correlational method with a population consisting of female aesthetic clinic patients. The sample included 150 women aged 18–25 years, selected using an incidental sampling technique. Data were collected through the adapted versions of The Upward and Downward Appearance Comparison Scale (UDACS) and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire–Appearance Scale (MBSRQ-AS). The collected data were analyzed using a simple linear regression test. The results revealed a significant effect of upward comparison on body dissatisfaction among female aesthetic clinic patients. Furthermore, the findings showed a positive direction of influence, with an effective contribution of 19.6%. This indicates that the higher the level of upward comparison, the higher the level of body dissatisfaction.

Abstract

Social media users are increasingly vulnerable to engaging in social comparison with others, a behavior that may contribute significantly to the emergence of psychological distress. In managing the negative emotions that arise from such comparisons, individuals often resort to sarcasm as a coping strategy. This study aims to examine the influence of social comparison on psychological distress among individuals who exhibit sarcastic behavior on social media, with the expectation that the findings will provide valuable insights into this phenomenon. Utilizing a quantitative research method, the study involved 150 respondents aged 18–40 who engage in sarcastic behavior online. The results revealed a statistically significant effect, with a p-value of < 0.001 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.192, indicating that the social comparison variable accounts for 19.2% of the variance in psychological distress. The remaining variance is attributable to other factors not examined in this study. These findings indicate a significant relationship between social comparison and psychological distress among sarcastic social media users. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of educational initiatives to raise awareness about the negative psychological impacts of social comparison in digital environments and underscore the need to foster more adaptive coping strategies to mitigate these risks.

Abstract

Policy evaluation plays a crucial role in improving the quality of government programs. Through these evaluations, the government can identify and prevent programs that could potentially harm the public, while also assessing whether such programs are worth continuing or expanding in the future. One of the programs that will be discussed in this study is the government policy in providing scholarships to outstanding students for underprivileged students to continue their education in higher education. This program is widely disbursed by the government through the provision of educational assistance both at the provincial, city, to district level. One of them, including in Pinrang Regency, has implemented a policy in the field of education regarding the provision of educational scholarships to outstanding students. However, based on the author's observations, it was found that this policy has shortcomings, namely there are still scholarships that are not on target, especially for scholarships for underprivileged communities and the lack of firmness of the implementing committee in collecting administrative requirements, there are problems that occur in the process of determining scholarship recipients, There are recipients who have the lowest GPA below 3.50, found in C Accredited Institute or College campuses.This research has a very important urgency for academics and government agencies as policy makers to conduct analytical studies onEvaluation of the Education Scholarship Program Policy for High-Achieving Students in Pinrang Regencyand as material for consideration in making decisions in the future. The aim of this research isto analyze how the form of the Evaluation of the Education Scholarship Program Policy for Outstanding Students in Pinrang Regency. This research is a type of qualitative research with a descriptive approach with the aim of describing all problems related to the government's program policies on the Evaluation of the Education Scholarship Program Policy for Outstanding Students in Pinrang Regency.

Abstract

Contemporary business world that is solely profit-oriented has eroded the values of trust and brotherhood which are the foundation of sustainable business relationships. This research aims to formulate a spiritual business communication model that integrates the value of trust from modern business communication theory with the value of ukhuwah islamiyah as an instrument of dakwah bil hal in the context of Islamic cooperatives. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research type, analyzing various literatures in the fields of business communication, Islamic ethics, and Islamic economics through qualitative content analysis and critical analysis techniques. The results show that the spiritual business communication model consists of five main components: (1) spiritual foundation in the form of sincere intention; (2) operational principles consisting of a triad of Islamic values (amanah, shiddiq, and ukhuwah); (3) multi-level communication strategies (vertical, horizontal, and external); (4) hybrid media and communication channels; and (5) outcomes in the form of triple benefits (spiritual, social, and economic). This model is circular and dynamic with a positive feedback loop mechanism that makes it sustainable. The integration of trust and ukhuwah produces the concept of "spiritual trust" which is more profound because it is based not only on rational calculations but also on spiritual beliefs. The implementation of this model makes all Islamic cooperative activities an effective practice of dakwah bil hal, creating confidence for managers and comfort for members. This research contributes theoretically by enriching the literature on business communication based on Islamic spirituality and practically can serve as a guide for Islamic cooperative managers in designing communication strategies that are not only effective in business but also spiritually meaningful.

Abstract

This research aims to develop two model-drawing methods based on students’ levels of competency, guided by a psychological approach to working memory. The study adopts a qualitative method with a case study design. Observations were carried out by analyzing six samples of model drawings produced by students in the Visual Arts Education program, Faculty of Art and Design. The drawings were categorized into two levels, expert and novice, based on students’ performance in proportion, coloring, and detail. The findings show that (1) three students belong to the expert level, producing highly impressive model drawings whose proportions, coloring, and details are close to perfection; (2) three students fall into the novice level, with their proportions, coloring, and object forms still at a minimal or below-standard quality; and (3) one commonly used method is found to be unsuitable for all learners. Therefore, this research proposes two model-drawing methods according to students’ competency levels: the Golden Ratio technique for expert-level students and a proportion-and-shape-based technique for novice learners.

Abstract

This research aims to compare the geometric patterns in Passura Toraya and Escher’s Tessalation. The study examines Toraja ornaments created 5.000 years ago from a geometric perspective that is similar to the approach of well-known geometric artist, M. Escher. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method by collecting data from literature studies and visual observations of Passura Toraya, which are then analyzed using geometrical pattern and basic mathematic shapes. The results of the study show that (1) triangle, square, pentagon, flora, and fauna shapes represent geometric forms with similar tessellation techniques in both Passura Toraya and M.C. Escher's geometric patterns; (2) Passura Toraya has repeated patterns in opposite directions and four sides, as well as 4-fold designs, similar to M.C. Escher's tessellated geometric patterns with the same size as the empty field and 3-fold repetition levels; (3) contrasting colors are characteristic of Passura Toraya, similar to M.C. Escher's designs. Passura Toraya, which was made approximately thousands of years ago, shows the same approach as geometric artist, M. Escher. This demonstrates that Passura Toraya was made with a high level of knowledge, despite being made approximately 5.000 years ago.

Abstract

Many Nigerian oil and gas firms struggle with managing creditors, debtors, and inventory efficiently. These challenges limit cash flow, reduce profitability, and constrain growth. As a result, entrepreneurial success in these firms is often hindered by poor operational liquidity management. Hence, this study examined the effect of paying creditors, collecting debts, and managing inventory on entrepreneurial success (proxy by return on sales) in Nigerian oil and gas firms. An ex-post facto research design was adopted, covering the period from 2012 to 2024. The population consisted of eight listed oil and gas firms, with six selected for the study through purposive sampling. Secondary data were collected from the annual reports of the selected firms, and hypotheses were tested using a fixed effects panel regression model with Cross-section seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) standard errors to correct for heteroskedasticity. The findings revealed that: Days Inventory Outstanding has a negative and significant effect on entrepreneurial success (β = -0.616, p = 0.0213); Days Receivable Outstanding has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial success (β = 0.005534, p = 0.0000); Days Payable Outstanding has a negative but insignificant effect on entrepreneurial success (β = -0.002935, p = 0.8554). In conclusion, efficient inventory control is essential because holding excessive stock ties up capital that could support productive activities, while effective management of receivables enhances profitability by maintaining balanced credit policies and ensuring timely collections to improve cash flow and sustain operations. The study recommended that operations managers in Nigerian oil and gas firms should reduce the time inventory is held by implementing efficient inventory management systems, optimizing stock levels, and improving turnover to enhance profitability.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of the Least Squares method for production budget planning at CV. Amirah Ramadhani Cemara Kora, Makassar. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach, the research analyzes sales data from January to December 2024, beginning inventory data for January 2025, and 2024 production reports, substantiated by interview data. The findings indicate that the Least Squares method yields significantly more accurate and structured production forecasts compared to the company's previous conventional methods. Analysis using the trend equation Y = a + bX reveals a consistent upward trend from January to December 2025, thereby mitigating risks associated with overstocking or stockouts. The projected 2025 production budget estimates a total output of 6,808 short-sleeve shirts and 6,466 long-sleeve shirts. The total estimated production cost is IDR 749,205,900, comprising IDR 463,920,000 for raw materials, IDR 66,830,000 for direct labor, and IDR 218,455,900 for factory overhead. This approach enables the company to optimize raw material and labor allocation based on predictive trends, effectively preventing production inefficiencies such as the overproduction observed in April 2024. Conclusively, the implementation of the Least Squares method allows CV. Amirah Ramadhani Cemara to enhance operational efficiency, streamline resource management, and facilitate strategic data-driven decision-making.
