Abstract

Legal protection for healthcare professionals remains a significant issue in Indonesia, particularly regarding pregnancy termination in cases of anencephalic fetuses. Although Indonesian law permits abortion on limited grounds, including medical emergencies and pregnancies resulting from rape or other sexual violence, legal uncertainty persists when anencephaly is diagnosed after 14 weeks of gestation. This study analyzes the legal regulation of pregnancy termination in such cases and examines the legal protection available to doctors performing these procedures. Using juridical-normative and empirical-juridical approaches with a descriptive-analytical method, the study combines legal analysis with empirical data collected from 34 informants and respondents, including obstetricians, police officers, healthcare professionals, academics, religious leaders, hospital management, and legal practitioners. The findings indicate that the absence of clear operational regulations for late-detected anencephaly creates uncertainty and increases the risk of criminalization, even when procedures are performed in accordance with medical indications, informed consent, professional standards, and accredited healthcare facilities. Respondents emphasized the need for clearer procedural guidelines, stronger legal guarantees, professional protocols, and coordinated medicolegal mechanisms. The study concludes that pregnancy termination in cases of late-detected anencephaly should not automatically be treated as a criminal act when conducted by competent medical personnel in accordance with medical, ethical, and legal standards. It proposes a lex specialis-based legal protection model to strengthen legal certainty and support future health law reform in Indonesia.

Abstract

Mathematical communication skills and mathematical representation skills are two important skills in mathematics learning. However, students' mathematical communication skills remain relatively low, so a study is needed to identify the factors that affect them, including mathematical representation ability. This study aims to examine the influence of mathematical representation skills on students' mathematical communication skills in grade VII C at SMP Al Washliyah Sumber. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory correlational design and simple linear regression. The research sample consisted of 31 students selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument is in the form of a description test developed based on indicators of mathematical representation ability and mathematical communication ability, which have met the criteria for validity and reliability. The study's results show that mathematical representation ability has a positive, significant effect on students' mathematical communication skills. These findings suggest that students with good mathematical representation skills tend to have better mathematical communication skills. This research suggests that mathematics learning should facilitate the use of various forms of mathematical representation to improve students' mathematical communication skills.

Abstract

Hospitals are under increasing pressure to improve service quality while maintaining financial sustainability under Indonesia’s National Health Insurance (JKN) reimbursement system. Clinical Pathway (CP) implementation and Length of Stay (LOS) are considered important strategies for improving cost efficiency, yet their financial impact remains inconsistent across healthcare settings. Previous studies have primarily examined the influence of Clinical Pathway implementation on service quality or Length of Stay separately. In contrast, evidence regarding the combined effects of Clinical Pathway compliance and Length of Stay on hospital cost efficiency, particularly in Type D hospitals, remains limited. This study aimed to analyse the effects of Clinical Pathway compliance and Length of Stay on cost efficiency among inpatients at Marsudi Waluyo Hospital, Malang Regency, using Gross Profit Margin (GPM) as the indicator of cost efficiency. A quantitative study with an observational, analytic, and retrospective design was conducted using secondary data from medical records, Clinical Pathway forms, hospital information systems, billing records, and casemix data. The study included 361 inpatient care episodes selected through total sampling. Multiple linear regression was employed to examine the relationships among variables, and bootstrap analysis with 1,000 resamples was applied to enhance the robustness of the estimates. Clinical Pathway compliance significantly affected Gross Profit Margin (β = −0.341, p = 0.029), while Length of Stay also showed a significant negative effect (β = −10.385, p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both variables significantly influenced Gross Profit Margin (F = 30.800, p < 0.001), explaining 14.7% of its variance (R² = 0.147). Length of Stay demonstrated a stronger influence on cost efficiency. This study also contributes empirical evidence on hospital cost efficiency in a Type D hospital and provides practical guidance for hospital managers in developing evidence-based cost-control strategies.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited development of students’ mathematical critical thinking ability in conventional classrooms and investigates the effectiveness of a flipped classroom supported by adaptive testing. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of this instructional approach on students’ mathematical critical thinking ability. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group structure was employed, involving 64 students assigned to experimental and control groups. Data were collected through pre- and posttests, interviews, and classroom observations. Quantitative analysis using an independent samples t-test revealed a statistically significant difference in posttest scores, t(62) = 4.28, p < .001, with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.07). The experimental group achieved a medium normalized gain (0.47), while the control group demonstrated a low gain (0.18). Qualitative findings indicated that students in the experimental group demonstrated more elaborated argument clarification, systematic process evaluation, relational inference and deduction, and strategic completion of missing information. In contrast, control group responses were predominantly procedural and recall-oriented. These findings suggest that the integration of flipped pedagogy and adaptive testing enhances higher-order reasoning processes and students’ mathematical performance, while adaptive testing is theoretically associated with more calibrated cognitive challenge and potentially more precise ability estimation.

Abstract

Low transdisciplinary epistemic knowledge is one of the problems in mathematical comparison learning. Therefore, this study aims to optimize this competency through the development of a teaching module based on epistemic learning patterns integrated with STEAM+X. This study used a design-based research design. The instruments used were a practical problem questionnaire, a transdisciplinary epistemic knowledge test, and a teaching module. The participants were 36 people, consisting of 15 students (aged 13–15 years) and 21 educational stakeholders (teaching experience 0–25 years). Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while quantitative data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results revealed that identity and orientation crises, lack of spatial experience, pedagogical mismatches, and ecosystem limitations were the contributing factors to low student competency. The learning principles expected to be optimized were student-centered learning, technology integration, and learning ecosystem support. ELP-STEAM+X-AI was then implemented because it aligned with the previous principles. The study concluded that the learning was able to optimize transdisciplinary epistemic knowledge (Z = -2,96; p = 0,003; and r = 0,76 with large impact) because students were facilitated in constructing mathematical comparison concepts through various STEAM+X-based epistemic activities. This finding recommends that other subjects adopt ELP-STEAM+X-AI to optimize student competency.

Abstract

Local governments have attempted to allocate health budgets in accordance with constitutional mandates; however, the life expectancy remains relatively low. This study examines the efficiency and effectiveness of public health spending in 22 districts/cities in East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT) during 2017–2024. Efficiency was assessed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) assumptions. Effectiveness was analyzed through panel data regression from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for 2017–2024, lagged by 1 year, and using a fixed effects model. The DEA findings indicate that most regions have not achieved optimal technical efficiency, largely due to geographic constraints and scale inefficiencies. Meanwhile, the regression results indicate that government health spending does not significantly affect life expectancy. In contrast, GDP per capita and access to clean water exhibit significant positive effects. However, household health spending exhibits a significant negative relationship, indicating a significant financial burden for individuals. These findings highlight the importance of reallocating health budgets, prioritizing capacity building for medical personnel, and strengthening financial protection mechanisms through expanding health insurance coverage.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to characterize students' mathematical problem-solving skills in statistics using problem-solving indicators, such as comprehending the problem, coming up with a strategy, executing the plan, and looking back, as well as examining the different kinds of mistakes that students make. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach. Purposive sampling was used to choose twenty-eight eleventh-grade students from SMK Perkasa for the 2025–2026 school year as the subjects. The research tool was an essay test that assessed mathematical problem-solving skills. In order to examine the data, students' skills were divided into three categories: high, medium, and low. The proportion of mistakes for each indication was then determined. The findings indicate that pupils' aptitude for solving mathematical problems was typically classified as low. In all, 57.14% of pupils fell into the low group, 25.00% into the middle category, and 17.86% into the high category. Error rates were highest while implementing the solution plan (53%), followed by coming up with a strategy (41%), comprehending the problem (25%), and looking back (39%). These results show that pupils have trouble grasping procedures and doing computations accurately. Therefore, in order to enhance pupils' mathematical problem-solving skills, instructional efforts are needed.

Abstract

Mathematical critical thinking ability is an essential skill that students must possess in solving contextual problems. However, students’ mathematical critical thinking ability is still considered low because students are more accustomed to solving problems procedurally rather than conducting analysis and evaluation. This study aims to analyze the mathematical critical thinking ability of vocational high school students based on Facione’s indicators. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method involving 23 eleventh-grade students of SMK Budi Mandiri Tanjungsari as the research subjects. The research instruments consisted of a mathematical critical thinking ability test, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that 65% of students were in the low category and 17% were in the very low category. Students demonstrated fairly good ability in the indicators of interpretation and analysis; however, they were still weak in the indicators of evaluation and inference. Therefore, mathematics learning needs to emphasize evaluative and reflective thinking processes.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in strengthening local economies and preserving cultural identity. In Kabupaten Ogan Ilir, traditional culinary MSMEs hold significant potential as drivers of regional economic development; however, their management remains constrained by fragmented coordination, limited institutional capacity, and suboptimal stakeholder collaboration. This study aims to analyze the implementation of collaborative governance in managing traditional culinary MSMEs in Ogan Ilir Regency. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to examine the implementation of collaborative governance. The study is guided by the model proposed by Chris Ansell and Alison Gash, focusing on five analytical components: direct stakeholder dialogue, trust development, commitment to collaborative processes, shared understanding, and intermediate outcomes. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observational fieldwork, and document review, incorporating insights from local government institutions and associated actors, MSME actors, community groups, and supporting institutions. The findings indicate that collaborative governance practices have begun to develop but remain partially institutionalized. Dialogue mechanisms exist yet are not conducted routinely; trust among actors has improved at the institutional level but remains fragile operationally; and commitment is stronger within government institutions than among non-state actors. While intermediate outcomes such as increased business licensing, improved packaging, and digital marketing adoption have been observed, collaboration is still predominantly top-down and lacks sustained multi-actor engagement. Strengthening structured coordination forums, clarifying stakeholder roles, and enhancing participatory mechanisms are essential to achieving a more integrated and sustainable collaborative governance model for culinary MSME development.

Abstract

Coastal micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Indonesia face persistent challenges in financial management and market access, primarily due to low digital literacy and the absence of locally tailored digital platforms, which limit their contribution to the sustainable blue economy agenda. This study aims to design and develop "Jeruju Digital," an integrated digital platform combining a simple financial management system and e-commerce features, specifically tailored for MSEs processing Acanthus ilicifolius (jeruju leaves) in Jaring Halus Village, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Waterfall software development model, progressing through five sequential stages: needs analysis, system design, implementation, black-box functional testing, and user evaluation, with 20 MSE respondents assessed via a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire. The resulting platform integrates two core modules — a financial reporting tool covering daily transaction logs, profit-and-loss statements, cash flow, and balance sheets, and an e-commerce module for product catalog management, ordering, and payment — achieving 100% success across 15 black-box test functions and an overall user satisfaction score of 4.50 ("Very Good"), indicating high usability and suitability for coastal MSE contexts. These findings demonstrate that "Jeruju Digital" meaningfully improves operational efficiency, financial transparency, and market reach for coastal small businesses, offering a replicable model for digital transformation in Indonesia's maritime sectors in alignment with the national blue economy strategy.
