Abstract

Doping remains a critical issue in competitive sports, undermining ethical standards and athletes' health. This study investigates the influence of motivational climates, anti-doping education among support personnel, and moral disengagement on athletes' doping susceptibility. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys from 150 athletes and 75 support personnel with qualitative interviews. Quantitative findings revealed that ego-oriented motivational climates significantly increased doping susceptibility, while autonomy-supportive climates reduced it. Additionally, athletes supported by personnel who received anti-doping education demonstrated lower susceptibility to doping. Moral disengagement emerged as a key moderator, with athletes under morally disengaged personnel showing higher doping susceptibility regardless of the motivational climate. Qualitative insights further contextualized these findings, highlighting barriers to fostering autonomy-supportive climates and implementing effective education, including resource constraints and systemic pressures. The study underscores the importance of addressing both psychological and systemic factors to mitigate doping behaviors. These findings align with existing research, emphasizing the need for targeted anti-doping interventions that prioritize education, promote autonomy-supportive environments, and address moral disengagement Policy recommendations include mandatory anti-doping education for all support personnel, tailored interventions to reduce moral disengagement, and organizational reforms to discourage performance-driven pressures. Despite its contributions, the study identifies gaps in understanding systemic factors and the long-term effectiveness of existing interventions, calling for future longitudinal and context-specific research. This research provides valuable insights for advancing clean sport initiatives, offering a pathway to enhance ethical behavior in competitive sports through education, leadership, and systemic change.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the healthcare field by storm as healthcare providers adopt its use to inform data-based decisions, improve clinical decision-making, and make their operations more efficient. This review discusses the fundamentals of AI, including machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing technologies and how they can be applied to diagnostics, individualized treatment, remote patient monitoring, hospital operations, and population health monitoring. The strengths of AI are the ability to identify early disease, custom care plans, and precognitive analysis to direct resources. Nevertheless, integration in healthcare systems is stalled by risk of having biased algorithms, data privacy, interoperability, and changing demands of regulatory guidelines. A solution to such barriers is interdisciplinary: combining multiple views to develop and validate the models legitimately, with transparency and trustworthiness. Future trends, such as explainable AI, federated learning and integration of the robots aim at a more flexible and patient-centered future. After all, the best role that AI can play is to augment human expertise by providing more precise, proactive and fair care but without losing that critical human touch in healthcare.

Abstract

DILI presents symptoms like those in viral hepatitis in terms of elevated liver enzymes, jaundice, and liver dysfunction. These make it rather difficult to differentiate between DILI and viral hepatitis through traditional diagnostic methods. DILI is of profound relevance to global morbidity and mortality today. Thus, accurate diagnosis in terms of time and precision is essential. AI offers hope and promises to use improved diagnostics for personalized treatment strategies. After a systematic search on PubMed and Google Scholar, 933 studies were identified, and they concentrated on AI applications in differentiation regarding DILI and viral hepatitis. Only 55 studies were shortlisted for evaluation via a review process that covered diverse AI techniques deployed in diagnosis, including performance metrics. Models, AI have improved how DILI is diagnosed into a paradigm of distinctive biomarkers in a cross-section of clinical data. Machine learning algorithms using clinical data and imaging have very high accuracy in distinguishing DILI from viral hepatitis. It will improve early diagnosis, prognostic predictions, and novel therapeutic target identification by AI with multimodal-data cross-images, laboratory tests, and clinical history. Indeed, AI has the potential to be instrumental in enhancing the diagnosis of DILI and its differentiation from viral hepatitis. With the development of further advanced models, AI could even act as predictive compared to giving the facilities for drug-induced hepatotoxicity and thus enhance patient outcomes while reducing the cost-benefits for richer pharmaceutical processes.

Abstract

This paper will give an in-depth account of the use of Explainable AI (XAI) in credit card default prediction by juxtaposing theoretical frameworks and the empirical evidence of a particular case study. With the growing use of AI by financial institutions in credit scoring, the issue of interpretable and transparent models has been the most critical requirement not only to instill confidence among the stakeholders involved but also to meet regulatory requirements where clarity in automated decision-making is a requirement. The key conclusion is the accuracy-interpretability trade-off is not an insurmountable obstacle that cannot be overcome with the help of XAI methodologies practice. The empirical case study that adopted a surrogate modeling methodology involving the use of a Decision Tree to model a high-performing Gradient Boosting classifier proved that such hybrid approach can attain a strong predictive accuracy as well as generate interpretable outputs with near perfect fidelity. Such a success offers a concise and practical roadmap on how financial institutions can embrace the power of the latest AI models in a responsible manner, yet in compliance with strict regulatory rules.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on students’ mathematical critical thinking skills in solving Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SPLDV). A qualitative descriptive approach was employed with 30 grade VIII students at SMP Pangeran Antasari as research subjects. Data were collected through tests, observations, interviews, and documentation, with instrument reliability confirmed using Cronbach’s Alpha (0.627). The findings show that 80% of students successfully identified problems, 75% provided logical reasoning, 70% connected mathematical concepts with real-life contexts, 85% applied appropriate solution strategies, and 78% drew valid conclusions. Nevertheless, around 20% of students demonstrated only moderate performance, and 10% showed significant difficulties in reasoning and inference. These results confirm that PBL enhances student engagement, collaborative learning, and higher-order thinking, while also highlighting the need for scaffolding to strengthen reasoning and inferencing skills. This research contributes empirical evidence supporting the application of PBL in mathematics classrooms and reinforces its alignment with constructivist learning theories and 21st-century skill development.

Abstract

E-commerce growth has expanded large, enclosed fulfillment centers employing >1.7 M U.S. workers. VOCs from adhesives, packaging foams, solvents, and diesel equipment pose under-recognized IAQ hazards. PRISMA-guided review (2015–2025) identified 47 studies + 9 reports. A single-zone mass-balance model simulated VOCs at 0.3–3.0 ACH. Risks used EPA inhalation methodology: exposure concentration (EC), Hazard Quotient (HQ), and cancer risk (CR). Formaldehyde commonly ranged 15–120 µg/m³; benzene 2–35 µg/m³. Under 0.3 ACH, modeled steady-state concentration ????88 reached 112 µg/m³ (formaldehyde) and 25 µg/m³ (benzene).s EC-based estimates yielded HQ > 1 for formaldehyde and CR = 1.3×10?? for benzene—exceeding EPA’s acceptable range—despite OSHA compliance. Aggregate HQs > 2.0 indicate additive effects; 1.0 ACH reduced ECs by ~40–60%. Fulfillment center workers face material VOC risks invisible to OSHA PEL compliance. Ventilation to ASHRAE 62.1 intake targets (with ?3 ACH in high-emission zones), low-emission materials, continuous IAQ monitoring, and updated standards are urgently needed.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of competence, digital technology, and locus of control on fraud prevention in public accounting firms in Central Jakarta. Fraud prevention is an important aspect in maintaining the reliability of financial reports and the integrity of the accounting profession. Auditor competence, the use of digital technology, and individual locus of control are assumed to play an important role in supporting the effectiveness of fraud prevention. This study uses a quantitative method with a survey approach through questionnaires distributed to auditors at several public accounting firms in Central Jakarta. The analytical method used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis to test the influence of each independent variable on fraud prevention. The results show that competence and digital technology have a significant positive effect on fraud prevention, while, locus of control has no significant effect on fraud prevention. This means that the higher the level of auditor competence and the more optimal the use of digital technology, the more effective the fraud prevention efforts will be.

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of stock returns with dividend policy as a moderating variable in consumer goods companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2020–2024. A quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with Smart PLS software. The sample consisted of 61 consumer goods companies selected through purposive sampling. The results indicate that net profit margin has no significant effect on stock returns, suggesting that profitability does not necessarily influence investor decisions in this sector. Inflation, however, shows a positive and significant effect on stock returns, highlighting that inflationary changes encourage investors to adjust their investment strategies. In contrast, the Bank Indonesia interest rate does not significantly affect stock returns, implying that interest rate fluctuations are not a primary factor for investors in consumer goods companies. Furthermore, the residual test demonstrates that dividend policy, measured by the dividend payout ratio, does not moderate the relationships between financial ratios, macroeconomic variables, and stock returns. These findings imply that dividend distribution alone does not guarantee investor interest, as investors tend to prioritize fundamental and long-term company performance over short-term payouts. The study contributes to the literature on stock return determinants by integrating firm level profitability and macroeconomic conditions with dividend policy as a moderating factor. It also provides practical insights for investors and managers, particularly regarding the limited role of dividend policy in influencing investment behavior in the Indonesian consumer goods sector.
