Abstract

The advancement of technology has accelerated the adoption of Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) in educational assessment due to its ability to dynamically adjust item difficulty levels, thereby producing more precise, efficient, and valid measurements compared to conventional tests. While Item Response Theory (IRT) serves as the primary psychometric foundation of CAT, traditional IRT implementation faces computational challenges because ability estimation requires lengthy iterative processes, resulting in reduced system responsiveness. To address this issue, Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Fuzzy Logic, offers a promising solution through rapid inference mechanisms and monotonic reasoning that can adaptively map students’ cognitive abilities to corresponding item difficulty levels. This study aims to develop a hybrid CAT system that integrates Fuzzy Logic for fast inference with IRT as a robust and valid psychometric framework in the context of science learning. The research employs a systematic literature review using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework, encompassing the stages of Identification, Screening, and Inclusion of relevant studies. The findings indicate that the integration of AI/ML with IRT in CAT consistently enhances assessment accuracy and efficiency. Algorithms such as Maximum Information (MI) and Expected a Posteriori (EAP) effectively reduce test length without compromising reliability, while Fast Adaptive Cognitive Diagnosis (FACD) improves early-stage ability prediction. Furthermore, Fuzzy Logic demonstrates strong effectiveness in selecting adaptive test items aligned with students’ ability levels. The study concludes that developing CAT systems based on AI and IRT yields adaptive, personalized, efficient, and diagnostic evaluation mechanisms that support personalized science learning.

Abstract

ABC Hospital in Bali is grappling with significant issues concerning its nurses' organizational commitment, evidenced by high turnover rates and clear signs of job dissatisfaction. A preliminary survey underscored this challenge, revealing that over half of nurses (55%) would consider leaving for better opportunities, while a substantial portion (45%) were hesitant to assist colleagues if it encroached on their breaks. This situation poses a direct threat to the quality of the hospital's frontline healthcare services. This study sought to understand how the work environment and work stress influence organizational commitment, specifically examining the mediating role of job satisfaction. Data was gathered from 98 nurses via an online questionnaire and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0. The findings were conclusive: a positive work environment significantly enhances organizational commitment, while work stress demonstrably diminishes it. The research also confirmed that job satisfaction positively impacts organizational commitment. Looking deeper, the work environment was found to positively influence job satisfaction, and conversely, work stress negatively affected job satisfaction. Crucially, the study established that job satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between both the work environment and work stress, and nurses' organizational commitment. These results strongly suggest that enhancing the work environment quality and effectively managing work stress are vital steps that can lead to improved job satisfaction, ultimately bolstering nurses' organizational commitment. Practically, ABC Hospital should focus on creating a conducive work environment and implementing effective stress management programs to curb turnover and elevate overall nurse performance.

Abstract

The digitalization of online business transactions has prompted the government to introduce e-stamps as an instrument for legalizing electronic documents. However, its implementation still faces challenges, such as technical constraints, system instability, a lack of user guidelines, and low digital literacy among MSMEs and the public. This study aims to analyze the validity and effectiveness of e-stamps in online business transactions, particularly for MSMEs in the Blok M area, and to identify barriers to their implementation from a civil law and cyber law perspective. The method used is empirical juridical research with a sociological approach to law, legislation, and case studies. Primary data was obtained through interviews with MSMEs, notaries, DJP/Peruri officials, judges, and users; while secondary data came from laws and regulations and legal literature. The results show that, normatively, e-stamps are valid and have equal legal standing to physical stamps. However, their effectiveness is suboptimal due to technical constraints, limited infrastructure, and the unequal adoption of digital legal culture. Furthermore, there is no jurisprudence that specifically defines the position of e-stamps in civil cases. This study concludes that there is a need to strengthen outreach, improve infrastructure, develop uniform technical guidelines, and integrate e-stamps with digital platforms to support legal certainty and efficiency in online transactions.

Abstract

Healthcare experiences have been transformed in the digital age by patients' communication. Electronic word of mouth (eWOM) is no longer simply a technical phenomenon. It plays an essential role in influencing the way that service quality and satisfaction are perceived in hospital outpatient care. Online feedback from patients can describe their positive and negative experiences, making eWOM a key means of gauging what matters most to them. In this scoping review, we investigate the ways in which eWOM reflects and influences service quality and patient experience in outpatient care. The goal was so hospitals could actually develop and implement solutions that are responsive to patient needs and sincere. The infusion of such digital insight can drive patient satisfaction and increase the hospital's reputation in the community. Following the PRISMA-ScR framework, a literature search was performed in the Scopus database (2013–2025) employing PCC-based keywords: electronic word of mouth, online review, hospital, and outpatient. Of 527 records, 14 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis of the data, including variables of eWOM, quality dimensions of service provision, and patient outcomes. Findings suggest eWOM has a notable impact on decision and hospital reputation. Negative reviews (particularly about waits, communication and staff attitude) weighed a bit heavier than positive ones. Responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and reliability stood out as the most relevant dimensions of service quality aligned to SERVQUAL. Digital feedback rose during the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increased emphasis on hygiene and safety. eWOM acts as an immediate feedback method of supplementing traditional quality assessments. Hospitals are encouraged to implement eWOM analysis techniques as part of their quality improvement systems in order to provide digitalized and patient-oriented care.

Abstract

This article investigates the role of the Women’s School community in implementing peace initiatives in the outskirts of Lake Poso. These initiatives aimed to reduce tensions and prevent direct conflict between local communities and a natural-resource extraction company. The community played a dual role: engaging in negotiations with the company while simultaneously experiencing the negative impacts of its operations, including land dispossession and the submergence of traditional rice fields. The study examines these contradictions through the lenses of negative and positive peace and Feminist Security Studies (FSS), with particular attention to structural violence. Using a qualitative case-study approach, based on semi-structured interviews and participant observation, the research analyses women’s motivations, their moral dilemmas, and the broader impacts on surrounding communities. The findings reveal that the women’s community engaged in a form of “survival peace” in which community de-escalation efforts were contingent upon the company’s provision of stable employment for their children. The article underscores the importance of women’s peacemaking by drawing on FSS critiques of traditional, state-centered definitions of security. It further demonstrates how the women’s community redefined security by shifting it from a state-centered framework to the practice of “survival peace”, mobilizing their collective agency to secure short-term household economic stability through the company’s employment opportunities, despite the risks of long-term environmental degradation.

Abstract

Polygamy is a form of plural marriage that generates complex psychological dynamics for all individuals involved. This practice is not only associated with legal and religious dimensions, but also engages deeper psychological aspects, including personal motivations, emotional adaptation processes, gender-based power relations, and intrapersonal as well as interpersonal conflicts within family life. This article aims to analyze the psychological aspects of polygamy by focusing on three main dimensions: (1) individuals’ psychological motivations for engaging in or accepting polygamous marriage, (2) patterns of psychological adaptation that develop within polygamous families, and (3) forms of psychological conflict and their implications for mental health. This study employs a qualitative method through a library research approach and a descriptive-analytical analysis of literature in psychology, family sociology, and gender studies. The findings indicate that polygamy is often associated with high levels of emotional tension, particularly among women and children, and tends to encourage coping mechanisms that are not always adaptive in the long term. This article emphasizes that a psychological perspective is a crucial element in understanding, evaluating, and formulating social and policy responses to polygamous practices in a more comprehensive manner.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of budget efficiency policies at the Regional Secretariat of Bogor Regency based on Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 2025 and Regent Circular Number 100.3.4.2/810-BPKAD. This research is significant as budget efficiency is the main part of efforts to realize good governance and a response to increasingly complex national fiscal challenges. A qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of the processes, strategies, and challenges involved in implementing efficiency policies within the local government environment. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, direct observation of organizational activities, and review of relevant official documents. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, along with source and method triangulation to ensure the validity and reliability of findings. The results indicate that the policy implementation was formally carried out through budget adjustments, restrictions on operational expenditures, and postponement or cancellation of non-priority activities. However, structural challenges such as limited human and financial resources and cultural challenges such as resistance from some government officials were encountered. Key supporting factors for implementation included effective communication, leadership commitment, and inter-unit coordination. This study recommends that future efficiency policies adopt a more adaptive, participatory, and performance-based approach to enhance policy effectiveness and sustainability.
