Abstract

Alcoholism is characterized by persistent and uncontrollable consumption of alcoholic beverages, which poses significant risks to physical, psychological, and emotional health, including conditions such as liver cirrhosis, epilepsy, cancer, hypertension, and diabetes. Furthermore, it contributes to substantial social and economic challenges, including road accidents, domestic abuse, unemployment, and elevated crime rates. In Kenya, 12.2% of the population engages in alcohol abuse, where 10.4% are afflicted by alcohol-use disorders, thereby constituting a pressing public health concern. This study introduces a deterministic mathematical model describing alcoholism, which integrates treatment and counselling components and is articulated through the Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) framework. The model evaluates the ramifications of treatment for alcoholism, with stability analysis executed through the Jacobian matrix methodology and sensitivity analysis employing normalized forward sensitivity techniques. The reproduction number R0 was ascertained utilizing the next-generation matrix approach, wherein R0 > 0 indicates ongoing alcohol misuse within the susceptible population. Global stability analysis conducted through the Quadratic- Lyapunov method indicates that the Alcohol-Free Equilibrium (AFE) and Alcoholic Equilibrium (AE) are globally asymptotically unstable. Numerical simulations were done to forecast the impact of critical parameters, with these simulations underscoring the necessity of enhancing recruitment into the treatment compartment and minimizing relapse rates to render alcoholism manageable. Effective intervention strategies encompass public awareness initiatives, reduction of stigma, provision of incentives for treatment engagement, enhancement of treatment services, and the utilization of technological advancements for ongoing support. This research bears significant implications for the legislators and the Ministry of Health in formulating policies that establish a robust foundation for future endeavours aimed at controlling alcohol addiction.

Abstract

Mathematics knowledge in schools should be sourced from scholarly knowledge. Education not sourced from scholarly knowledge will risk errors in concepts, such as invalidly taught material, that can lead to misconceptions. This study aims to analyze the transposition of knowledge on the concept of lines and angles from scholarly knowledge to knowledge to be taught. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data source in this study, namely scholarly knowledge, was obtained by analyzing books in universities, while knowledge to be taught was obtained by analyzing mathematics textbooks used in schools. This study's results show a transposition process in the concept of lines and angles, namely in the definition of lines, the types of lines, the position of two lines, and the relationship of angles in two parallel lines. This research can later be the basis for improving mathematical knowledge so that student's understanding of the concept of lines and angles is expected to be more complete based on scholarly knowledge.

Abstract

This research aims to identify and analyze students' mathematical reflective thinking abilities through a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach, focusing specifically on making "telong-telong." Mathematical reflective thinking involves students' ability to connect mathematical knowledge with new experiences, find relationships between concepts, and assess and improve their problem-solving strategies. This study follows a qualitative descriptive research design, with a case study approach conducted at SMP Negeri 03 Central Bengkulu, involving 28 students from class IX-A. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, focusing on how students approached mathematical problem-solving tasks in the context of PBL. The findings revealed that students could connect mathematical concepts such as symmetry and geometry to creating "telong-telong," demonstrating their ability to formulate creative solutions and reflect on their problem-solving approaches. Data analysis indicated that PBL facilitated students' critical, creative, and reflective thinking, enabling them to assess and refine their mathematical processes. These results suggest that the PBL approach effectively enhances students' mathematical reflective thinking abilities, providing a more practical and meaningful learning experience.

Abstract

Reading is one aspect of language skills that is actively receptive. The media used in reading is written language media. Reading is seeing and understanding the content of what is written, either spelling or pronouncing what is written. Reading activities are often socialised in education because reading is a very important activity to support teaching and learning activities at school. The facility provided by the school as a support in socialising reading activities for students is the library. Many students often utilise the SMK Negeri 1 Kota Cirebon library to carry out the borrowing process and read books there. Reading activities are an obligation that students must carry out, but students who carry out reading activities cannot be categorised as students with an interest in reading. The problem faced by the SMK Negeri 1 Cirebon City library is that it has not been able to predict or know the reading interests of students in the school library. This study uses data mining techniques with the C4.5 algorithm to predict student reading interest. This research produces rules to help SMK N 1 Cirebon City predict student reading interest in the school library. This step is done by designing a system model that uses the C4.5 algorithm to form a decision tree to produce a rule for predicting student reading interest. This research will produce valuable information about predicting student reading interest in the SMK Negeri 1 Cirebon City library using the C4.5 algorithm method.

Abstract

Technology adoption is crucial for enhancing efficiency and competitiveness, especially for women in Cambodia's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Despite SMEs being recognized as key drivers of economic growth, women entrepreneurs face significant challenges, including limited digital awareness, weak technology support, and restricted access to resources. This study explores the factors influencing technology adoption, benefits, and coping strategies. Data were collected from 121 women entrepreneurs in Cambodia's SMEs using a self-administered survey. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including correlation analysis, were employed to assess the relationships between adoption factors, benefits, and coping strategies. The study identified six key factors influencing technology adoption: operational optimization, client and business relationships, market expansion, information accessibility, cost considerations, and adoption. It also found four key benefits of technology adoption: improved information management, enhanced communication, increased operational efficiency, and a strengthened business reputation. Common strategies to overcome adoption barriers included human-centred approaches, such as workforce training and leadership engagement, and operational strategies, like reducing internet costs and improving connectivity. Results showed a strong positive relationship between adoption factors and perceived benefits (r = 0.7779, p < 0.0001) and a moderate correlation with coping strategies (r = 0.5642, p < 0.0001), confirming that as adoption factors improve, the benefits and coping strategies also strengthen. This study fills a critical research gap by focusing on the underexplored experiences, providing actionable insights for policymakers and business leaders. It emphasizes the need for policy support, infrastructure improvements, and training programs to foster a technology-driven business environment.
