Abstract

This study examines ethnomathematical values embedded in traditional pottery crafts in Sitiwinangun Village, Cirebon Regency, Indonesia, and discusses their potential for contextual mathematics learning. Using an exploratory qualitative case-study design, data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews with craftsmen, and visual documentation. The analysis reveals mathematical ideas in both the pottery forms and production process, including spatial geometry (circles, cylinders, cones, and spheres), radial symmetry, proportional reasoning, rotation, and volume estimation. Traditional tools such as the spinning wheel (petra) illustrate rotational principles that can support learning in geometry and related mathematical concepts. Beyond mathematical aspects, pottery artefacts (e.g., jugs) also convey cultural-symbolic values associated with balance in local traditions. Digital visualisation of pottery shapes using Maple software further supports geometric understanding. To our knowledge, the ethnomathematical exploration of Sitiwinangun pottery as a contextual learning resource has received limited attention. These findings indicate that pottery-based ethnomathematics can enrich geometry instruction by connecting cultural practices with formal mathematical concepts and informing the development of local culture-based learning modules.

Abstract

Geometry learning is often perceived as abstract and disconnected from students’ lived experiences; therefore, this study aims to explore the potential of the Gegesik-style Kelana Mask Dance (Cirebon) as a contextual medium for mathematics learning through an ethnomathematics approach. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with an ethnographic design, collecting data through a literature review, participant observation, and analysis of performance documentation (videos), systematic notes on movement structures and floor patterns, and interviews with dancers/artists to strengthen the interpretation of movement meanings. The findings indicate that the choreography of the Kelana Mask Dance embodies fundamental mathematical—particularly geometric—concepts such as angles, lines, rotation, symmetry, and plane figures; its floor patterns display geometric forms (e.g., circles, triangles, and straight lines), while directional changes and turns produce angles and symmetry that can be leveraged as learning contexts.  In addition, the symbolism embedded in movements and dance properties enriches learning by linking mathematical ideas with cultural values. In conclusion, the Kelana Mask Dance has strong potential as an engaging, contextual resource for teaching geometry while also supporting the preservation of local culture and strengthening students’ cultural identity.

Abstract

This study examines the historical progression of Jakarta's administrative classification from Gemeente Batavia (1905) to the Special Capital Region (DKI) in 1964. This study analyzes the impact of colonial heritage, the Japanese occupation, and post-independence political dynamics on Jakarta's evolution from a colonial city to a national capital with a unique administrative identity. The employed methodology is the historical method, which includes the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This study uses a historical institutionalism framework to analyze the continuity and institutional transformation (path dependency) within Jakarta's government. The study's findings reveal that the Gemeente Batavia period (1905-1942) instituted a modern municipal governance framework under colonial supervision; the Japanese occupation (1942-1945) intensified centralization and solidified the identity of "Jakarta"; while the post-independence era (1945-1964) illustrated the Republic's efforts in political consolidation through administrative reforms. Law No. 101964, which established the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, served both as an administrative measure and a political assertion of Indonesia's national identity and modernity. This research elucidates urban political and institutional history by illustrating that the Jakarta governance model encapsulates the amalgamation of colonial heritage, centralized power, and nation-building ideology in postcolonial Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines how TESOL program quality and personal resources predict graduates’ perceived employability in one program in the Cambodian private university. A cross-sectional survey of TESOL students and recent graduates (n = 263) measured five curriculum factors and four personal factors against five indicators of subjective employability. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that all curriculum and personal factors were positively associated with self-perceived employability. Practice-intensive curriculum features (teaching practicum, peer teaching) and personal resources (teaching self-efficacy, outcome expectations) showed particularly strong links with employability outcomes. In a combined model, personal factors – especially work adaptation, social capital, and outcome expectations – accounted for substantially more variance in employability perceptions than curriculum factors. Because the data are cross-sectional, self-reported, and drawn from a single institution, the findings indicate associations rather than causation and may not generalize to other TESOL programs or contexts. The findings suggest that while high-quality training contributes to graduates’ career readiness, their adaptability, professional networks, and future-oriented outlook ultimately play a more decisive role in how employable they feel. The study recommends enhancing authentic teaching practice, career guidance, and networking opportunities in TESOL programs to improve graduate employability.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of service quality, facilities, waiting time, and patient expectations on healthcare traveller satisfaction in Bali, a leading global tourism destination where casual medical needs frequently arise. As international travel increases, so does the demand for accessible, efficient, and high-quality healthcare services for tourists experiencing common illnesses or requiring administrative medical support. Using a modified 19-item SERVQUAL-based questionnaire, data were collected from 138 international travellers who received care at a private clinic in Pecatu, Bali. Reliability and validity testing demonstrated strong psychometric properties (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.899; all items above r-table 0.361). Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) was applied to evaluate both direct and interaction effects. Results show that the model explains 59% of the variance in satisfaction (R² = 0.590). Service quality exhibited the strongest positive direct effect on satisfaction (p < 0.001), while facilities showed an unexpected negative direct effect, and waiting time had no significant direct impact. Patient expectations demonstrated a significant negative effect and played a crucial moderating role. High expectations weakened the positive effect of service quality while strengthening the influence of facilities and waiting time on satisfaction. These findings underscore that traveller satisfaction is shaped not only by operational performance but also by the psychological standards tourists bring to their healthcare encounters. The study contributes to expectancy-disconfirmation theory in medical tourism and emphasizes the need for transparent communication, standardized service delivery, modern facility enhancements, and strategic expectation management. Strengthening these areas will support Bali’s competitiveness as a trusted and efficient healthcare destination for international travellers.

Abstract

Direct-contact infectious diseases such as influenza, diphtheria, tuberculosis (TB), scabies, varicella, impetigo, herpes simplex, and HIV remain public health threats. Limited access to accurate information encourages the development of chatbots as educational media. This study aims to design and build an NLP-based chatbot named SerMediCare to provide consultation and education on infectious diseases. The Research and Development (R&D) method with an iterative approach was used, including needs analysis, data collection from journals and medical books, and interviews with healthcare workers; system design; model training; and implementation on a web platform. The dataset was prepared in JSON format, including patterns, responses, and tags, and trained with a Transformer-based model to accurately recognize user intent. Evaluation results show that SerMediCare achieves 86% accuracy, indicating its ability to provide relevant responses to user queries. Black box testing confirmed that all features function properly. This chatbot is expected to be an effective digital tool for improving health literacy and facilitating public access to reliable information about infectious diseases.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse how religious identity is used as a political branding strategy in the 2024 North Sumatra gubernatorial election, and the communicative and social implications of this practice in the digital space. Using a qualitative content analysis, this study examined the official accounts of candidate pairs, digital volunteers, political influencers, and public conversations across various forms, including images, campaign videos, captions, tweets, comments, and hashtags. The results of the study show that religion-based identity politics is the dominant strategy in social media. Candidates and campaign teams actively utilise religious symbols, narratives, and figures to build a religious, trustworthy, and moral image. The endorsement of religious figures through digital testimonials strengthens the candidate's moral legitimacy, while religion-based content is disseminated not only top-down by official accounts but also horizontally through supportive communities and anonymous accounts. Religious content has been shown to have higher digital engagement than neutral content; however, it has also led to polarisation in the commentary space over the legitimacy of using religious symbols in politics.

Abstract

The experiences humans encounter throughout life shape their character and behavior toward their surroundings. Human development from birth continuously undergoes dynamic changes, both physically and mentally. This issue also concerned Ar-Razi, who sought to explore the dynamics of the human psyche while remaining grounded in Islamic principles and scientific knowledge. He introduced a theory of character development consisting of four phases: (1) the age of growth, (2) adolescence, (3) middle age, and (4) old age. Ar-Razi also classified levels of the soul based on his interpretation of Surah Al-Kawthar into three stages: (1) the highest level, in which the heart and soul are immersed in the light of Allah; (2) the second level, characterized by devotion to Allah through various forms of physical worship; and (3) the third level, the lowest degree, which is oriented toward worldly matters. This article aims to explore Ar-Razi’s theory of development holistically.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of competency and employee engagement on employee performance in public sector institutions in Indonesia. The research is motivated by persistent performance disparities within public sector organizations, which are frequently linked to misalignment between employee competency and job demands, as well as insufficient levels of employee engagement. The study aims to analyze the direct effects of competency and employee engagement on employee performance and to investigate the mediating role of employee engagement in the competency–performance relationship. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, involving 105 employees from a public-sector institution selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale measuring competency, employee engagement, and employee performance. Path analysis was used to test the hypothesized relationships among variables. The results reveal that competency has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, employee engagement has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, and employee engagement significantly mediates the relationship between competency and employee performance. These findings underscore the importance of integrating competency development and employee engagement strategies to enhance performance and organizational effectiveness in public sector institutions.

Abstract

This ethnographic study analyzes the economic dynamics and cultural resilience of the fishing community in Anyer Beach, a historic coastal area that has undergone profound transformation due to the tourism industry. The purpose of this study is to examine the pattern of livelihood transition from the traditional maritime sector to the service sector, measure the implications of emerging social disparities, and analyze how local wisdom practices are maintained amid the tide of commercialization. Ethnographic qualitative methods were used through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with various parties at the study sites, such as Kamasan Village and Sambolo 2 Beach. The results of the study show a radical transition in livelihoods driven by economic rationality, resulting in a significant surge in per capita monthly income (a wealth shock) of 400% to 900%. However, this rapid economic growth, supported by simple management, simultaneously triggered sharp social inequality and negative lifestyle changes. Culturally, local maritime wisdom, such as the Ruwat Laut ritual, demonstrated resilience, functional adaptation, and commodification as cultural tourism assets. It was concluded that Anyer's economic success was not yet supported by social and ecological sustainability. Therefore, an immediate transition to a structural co-management model, supported by a local regulatory framework, is recommended to more evenly and sustainably distribute tourism benefits.
