Abstract

Chemistry learning requires an understanding of complex abstract concepts. The Discovery Learning model has been applied to improve student understanding, but the verification stage in this model is often an obstacle in connecting the concepts found. This study compares the verification of concept maps and mind maps in improving student learning outcomes. The research method used is comparative descriptive, with two experimental groups each using concept maps and mind maps. The research instruments include learning outcome tests, assessment rubrics, and observations. The results showed that concept maps support systematic understanding more, while mind maps are more effective in developing flexibility of thinking. The verification process plays a role in correcting student misconceptions. These findings provide insight for educators to adjust learning methods to improve understanding of chemical concepts.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of social capital in shallot farming in Ohoitel Village, North Dullah Island District, Tual City. The methods used are observation of the research site, interviews and documentation. The data analysis technique used in this study is qualitative analysis. The result of this research is that trust is built because of the very close cooperation and the price agreement that has been made. Traders set the price of shallots while farmers hand over their crops to traders with a debt payment system first. The social norm built by shallot farmers is that if farmers carry out the planting and harvesting process, they can discuss first with other farmers in order to determine a good month or date to carry out the process so that there is no oversupply that can reduce market prices, coordination of planting time can also regulate the availability of shallots throughout the year. Social networks are very concerned and care for each other so that farmers strengthen each other's brotherhood or sense of togetherness as well as a network of farmer groups who deliberate with each other before doing a job.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to raise awareness for domesticating stingless bees to generate revenue and promote sustainable species conservation. A farmer's research extension group that consists of 20 beekeepers per district, was directly involved in the project; 30 beekeepers in total took part in the technology's pre-scaling up. Potential representative kebele per district was chosen. Theory-practical training was given to beneficiaries, and bee experts. According to the study, stingless bee colonies yield an average of 2.53 liters of honey annually, ranging from 0.85 to 3 liters. The net income from modern stingless bee practice was US $ 66.831, while the net income from traditional (hunting) practice was US $ 12.875. The study shows that employing modern stingless bees yields a return that is US $ 53.974 higher than honey hunting. Notable advancements have been made in the management of stingless bees, species conservation, and the amount and quality of honey produced.

Abstract

The conflict in Papua has been going on for decades and shows the characteristics of asymmetrical warfare, where separatist groups use non-conventional strategies in dealing with state security forces. Indications of the involvement of external actors in this conflict are getting stronger, indicating the possibility of a proxy war that affects the dynamics of the resistance of the Free Papua Organization (OPM). This study aims to analyze how asymmetric warfare in Papua is influenced by the dynamics of proxy war and the strategies adopted by the OPM in the face of counter-insurgency operations by the Indonesian government. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, data was collected through document analysis and literature study. The results show that the conflict in Papua does not only stem from internal factors such as socio-economic inequality and political dissatisfaction, but is also influenced by external interests that support the separatist movement through diplomatic channels, digital propaganda, and logistical assistance. Analysis of asymmetric warfare strategies shows that the OPM utilizes digital propaganda, international networks, and guerrilla attacks in the face of Indonesian military operations.

Abstract

This study investigates the development of competencies among mompreneurs in Makassar City and their impact on household income using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with empirical insights from interviews. The research systematically reviews existing literature on mompreneurship in Indonesia, particularly in Makassar City, while integrating findings from in-depth interviews with 20 mompreneurs to provide contextual validation. The results reveal that digital literacy, networking, financial management, and time management are crucial competencies that influence business sustainability. However, financial constraints, societal expectations, and lack of training remain barriers. Several previous studies in Makassar highlight similar challenges faced by microentrepreneurs, reinforcing the findings of this study. This research suggests that targeted entrepreneurship programs, government-backed financial assistance, and stronger business networks can enhance the sustainability and financial independence of mompreneurs.

Abstract

Some cases of work accidents state that industrial workers who do not use Personal Protective Equipment are at risk of work accidents by 20 times compared to workers who use Personal Protective Equipment. This study aims to determine the effect of counseling with audiovisual media on knowledge and attitudes about the use of Personal Protective Equipment in employees at Pt. SSC Works Kutai Kartanegara.This research method is experimental with One group pretest-posttest design without control design. The sample technique used in this study is total sampling. The results of biavariate analysis on the two independent variables in this study showed that there was a difference in knowledge with a p-value of 0.003 which means there was a difference in respondents' knowledge and 0.025 which showed there was a difference in respondents' attitudes before and after being given counseling with audio-visual media. This analysis confirms that the increase in employee knowledge will be directly proportional to the attitude they have. The better the knowledge you have, the more positive the attitude of employee.

Abstract

Home price prediction is an important aspect of the property industry, especially for real estate agents and potential buyers. With the advancement of technology, machine learning is used to improve the accuracy of home price estimates. One of the algorithms that is often used is Random Forest, which is able to capture complex patterns in data. However, previous research has shown that although this model has high accuracy (high R²), prediction errors are still significant (RMSE and MAE are high), indicating features that have not been fully modeled well. This research uses property datasets, preprocessing (normalization and feature selection), and applies Random Forest in RapidMiner. The model was evaluated using RMSE, MAE, and R², which showed R² = 0.78, but with RMSE = 4,757,343 and MAE = 3,200,000, indicating a large prediction difference. The most influential features are the area of the building (40%), the quality of the house (25%), and the number of bathrooms (10%).

Abstract

Indonesia faces significant challenges in subsidized fuel consumption, particularly in the transportation sector, which not only burdens the state budget but also worsens air quality. Therefore, the transition from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to electric vehicles is essential to reduce fossil fuel consumption and the air pollution caused by its use. This study employs a literature review method to analyze the potential reallocation of fuel subsidies to the electric vehicle program. The results indicate that by allocating 5% of the fuel subsidy budget, the government could fund up to 811,428 electric motorcycles and potentially reduce carbon emissions by 1,947,427 kg CO₂ per day. These reductions could then be converted into carbon credit certificates, generating up to $19,470 per day in revenue for the government, while also providing incentives for infrastructure developers to attract investment. Additionally, utilizing digital applications in the distribution of subsidized fuel can enhance targeting accuracy and minimize misuse.
