Abstract

Technology integration in educational settings impacts students' learning styles, enhances engagement through personalized learning approaches, and improves academic performance in English. This study explored the relationship between technology integration, learning styles, and academic performance in English among Grade 12 SHS students in an institution in Ozamiz City. A quantitative study with a descriptive-correlational design was utilized involving 241 Grade 12 students selected through random sampling. Questionnaires were used to assess technology use in instruction, students' learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic), and academic performance, analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, Frequency, Percentage, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The findings revealed that despite high levels of technology use in education and good learning styles among students, these factors do not significantly impact their academic performance in English. The result suggests that other variables have influenced academic outcomes more than technology use and learning styles. The research findings consistently indicate no significant correlation between teachers' use of technology in instruction and students' academic performance in English. Similarly, there is no significant relationship between students' learning styles and their academic performance in English. To enhance academic performance in English despite varying learning styles and the lack of significant correlation with technology use, educators should employ diverse instructional methods, foster positive interactions, and set meaningful goals to motivate students.

Abstract

This study is a content analysis of some selected Nigerian newspapers (The Vanguard and The Guardian) to determine their level of coverage of the coronavirus disease in Nigeria between February 2020 and February 2021. The study's specific objectives included determining the frequency of coronavirus reports, the media's presentation of coronavirus issues, the reports' key information sources, and the extent to which print media are attempting to set a public agenda for coronavirus based on the significance of effective media coverage in disease prevention and management. Findings revealed that most of the reports were in news format showing that the newspapers performed more of an information role than an analytical role. Even the numerous reports on the disease had little or nothing from the angle of infected individuals, which could stir up doubts regarding the actual existence of COVID-19 in the country. Findings also revealed that in terms of frequency of reports, position, and space, the newspapers gave prominence to the disease. The researchers recommend that attention should be given to providing more analytical contents bothering the disease, with a focus on reporting from the angle of infected individuals, as they will help wade off the emergence of doubts and ultimately grind the virus to a halt in Nigeria.

Abstract

This article examines how child welfare in Indonesia is governed through the interaction of state regulation and faith-based welfare provision. Focusing on Muhammadiyah, one of the country’s largest Islamic organizations, it argues that child welfare institutions are best understood as hybrid governance arrangements rather than as mere extensions of the state or purely charitable entities. The study uses a qualitative document-based case study drawing on Indonesian laws and regulations, Muhammadiyah’s child care guidelines, organizational rules, and institutional data. Guided by hybrid governance and institutional logics perspectives, the analysis identifies the intersection of state, religious, professional, and community-philanthropic rationalities in the organization of care. The findings show that national policy and Muhammadiyah’s internal framework converge in prioritizing family-based care and positioning residential care as a last resort. At the same time, Muhammadiyah translates public policy into its own Islamic organizational language while retaining internal authority, moral legitimacy, and philanthropic capacity. The main tension lies not in ideological conflict between religion and the state, but in the practical governance of transformation, especially professionalization, accountability, coordination, and the shift from institution-centered provision toward family support. The article contributes to debates on child welfare reform, faith-based organizations, and hybrid governance in the Global South.

Abstract

Organizational intelligence, dynamic managerial capability, and organizational agility are increasingly critical for small and medium-sized enterprises facing volatile and highly competitive environments, where survival depends on the ability to recognize change and respond with speed and precision. This study investigates how organizational intelligence affects organizational agility, both directly and indirectly through dynamic managerial capability, among SMEs in Bali. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 153 SME managers through an online questionnaire and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that organizational intelligence exerts a strong positive effect on dynamic managerial capability and organizational agility, while dynamic managerial capability also strongly enhances organizational agility. Moreover, dynamic managerial capability partially mediates the relationship between organizational intelligence and organizational agility, showing that intelligence becomes more strategically valuable when converted into managerial sensing, interpretation, and resource reconfiguration. The study’s novelty lies in positioning organizational intelligence not merely as an informational asset, but as an upstream strategic capability whose influence on agility is transmitted through managerial capability. These results imply that SME agility can be strengthened by simultaneously improving intelligence systems and managerial capability development.

Abstract

This paper presents an exhaustive examination of sentiment analysis methods utilized in financial news through Natural Language Processing (NLP). The work methodically analyzes lexicon-based, machine learning, and deep learning methodologies, encompassing VADER, the Loughran–McDonald dictionary, Support Vector Machines, LSTM, and transformer models like BERT. The review delineates the advantages and drawbacks of each method in assessing financial sentiment, especially with contextual comprehension, domain relevance, and computational efficacy. Research demonstrates that whereas lexicon-based approaches afford interpretability, deep learning models exhibit enhanced efficacy in managing intricate financial jargon. The research examines the incorporation of sentiment variables into stock market prediction models, highlighting their influence on enhancing predictive accuracy and directional forecasting. This review contributes to the literature by synthesizing recent advancements, identifying research gaps, and providing guidance for future studies, including multilingual sentiment analysis, real-time processing, and the incorporation of alternative data sources such as social media and ESG-related news.

Abstract

The fast growth of the global halal market makes the halal supply chain management more challenging especially on the process of halal supplier selection where there will be operational issues as well as ethical and Sharia compliance considerations. Traditional ways to evaluate suppliers tend to focus on economic performance without halal assurance, ethical and Sharia compliance, traceability, and sustainability perspectives. Hence, the objective of this research paper is to construct a Sharia Management Decision Support System (DSS) for halal supplier selection using Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method as a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) technique. Ten evaluation criteria included in the model are Halal Certification Compliance, Reputation of Suppliers, Product Quality, Delivery Reliability, Cost Efficiency, Islamic Ethical Compliance, Traceability, Sustainability, Risk Management, and Financial Stability. Computation process includes criterion weighting, normalization of decision matrix, computing of weighted score, and supplier ranking steps. Based on the results, Halal Certification Compliance, Product Quality, and Islamic Ethical Compliance were found to be highly influential criteria in supplier evaluation. Supplier A3 got the highest preference score among other suppliers which means it performs excellently in terms of halal assurance, ethical compliance, and traceability. On theoretical contribution, the study provides insights regarding integration of Sharia Management principles in DSS procurement evaluation frameworks. In terms of methodology, SAW model for halal supplier evaluation was successfully developed. On practical contribution, this study helps improve supplier transparency, procurement accountability, and halal supply chain management. On policy implication, this paper recommends better halal industry regulation, halal assurance system, and sustainable Islamic supply chain management.

Abstract

This study investigates the manifestation of neo-extractivism within Indonesia’s nickel downstreaming policy by specifically examining the Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP). To provide context, the research analyzes how state-led industrial strategies, often presented as resource nationalism, intersect with the demands of the global energy transition and local socio-ecological conditions. A qualitative single case study design was applied for this researh. Furthermore, the analysis utilizes Svampa’s framework of neo-extractivism, which includes three specific dimensions: the eco-territorial turn, the commodities consensus and developmentalist illusion, and new dependencies. The findings indicate that IWIP represents Indonesia’s ambition to move from a raw material exporter to a strategic processing hub, yet one must acknowledge that this transformation is established through ecological degradation, the dispossession of indigenous communities, and persistent inequality. Moreover, the study shows that rapid economic growth in North Maluku failed to improve household welfare, effectively confirming the presence of a developmentalist illusion. Indonesia’s reliance on Chinese capital, technology, and offtake agreements has also entrenched structural subordination, thereby creating new dependencies. Consequently, the research concludes that IWIP illustrates the inherent contradictions of neo-extractivism, which underscores the necessity for a radical reorientation toward development models that are socially and ecologically just.

Abstract

: Consumption of packaged sweetened beverages (PSBs) among Indonesian children shows an alarming trend and contributes to the increase in cases of childhood obesity and diabetes. National data shows that nearly 20% of children aged 5–12 years are overweight or obese, while the prevalence of type 1 diabetes in children has also increased significantly in the last decade. This study aims to analyze the implementation of legal protection for children as vulnerable consumers of MBDK in elementary schools, with a case study at SD Muhammadiyah 13 in Medan City. The research method used a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with 18 informants (principals, teachers, canteen managers, parents, and students) and a study of related documents. The results of the study show a gap between legal norms and field practices: although the Consumer Protection Law, Health Law, and Child Protection Law provide a strong normative basis, at the school level there are no internal regulations limiting the distribution of MBDK. Canteen economic factors, low nutritional literacy, and strong industry promotion weaken implementation. These findings confirm that legal protection has not been effectively implemented at the micro-school level. This study recommends an applicable protection model through binding technical regulations, economic incentives for canteens, integration of nutrition literacy into the curriculum, and multi-stakeholder supervision. Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse on consumer protection law by placing children as vulnerable legal subjects; practically, the results of this study can be used as a basis for formulating technical policies at the school and local government levels to reduce health risks due to MBDK consumption.

Abstract

The fast-paced urbanization process and the increased demand for sustainable infrastructure development due to climate changes and the degradation of the environment have raised interest in the emergence of sustainable financial technologies for urban areas. There is a lot of scientific literature available on the subject of green finance and smart cities; however, very little research has been done on the intersection of all these aspects combined – digital financial technologies, ESG investments, environment sustainability indicators, and artificial intelligence – to create a sustainable urban development evaluation framework. This study focuses on the creation of an Intelligent Decision Support System based on Digital Green Finance and its influence on Sustainable Urban Development using quantitative methodology. Mainly, this means using indicators such as green investments' portion in the total sum of investments in a city, ESG financing index, volume of transactions, amount of carbon financing, fintech for sustainable urban development, Green Open Spaces accessibility, urban vegetation index, CO2 emission reduction, urban livability index, and economic resilience. Combining all these factors with SAW-based algorithm and Artificial Intelligence prediction using the Random Forest method enables researchers to assess sustainability rankings and the level of smartness of cities using the developed system. As a result, it is possible to conclude that cities with higher green investment allocation and better ESG financing and digital green transaction volumes are more sustainable. Specifically, Gamma City received the highest ranking, followed by Omega and Alpha Cities.

Abstract

The leadership and social structure of the Sentani people in Ayapo Village, Jayapura Regency, revolve around the central authority of the Ondofolo to maintain community equilibrium. This study aims to investigate the role and automatic justice authority of the Ondofolo in protecting a fair legal process based on the customary principle of Mang Mam Mam. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews with traditional figures, and literature documentation, which were subsequently analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results reveal that the Ondofolo possesses extensive automatic authority encompassing religious, economic, social, security, and judicial domains within the Yo (village). In executing his judicial functions, the Ondofolo applies a restorative justice approach that prioritizes deliberation, collective moral order, and the restoration of communal harmony over formal punitive sanctions. This process is structurally supported by a hereditary functional hierarchy consisting of Aphu Affa, Kottelo, Akhona, and Uffoi. This study concludes that the Mang Mam Mam-based customary justice system administered by the Ondofolo provides a highly resilient, adaptive, and substantively fair legal mechanism deeply rooted in local cultural values, offering a vital model for legal pluralism in Indonesia.
