Abstract

The increasing complexity of web-based banking applications has intensified the need for efficient and reliable software testing methods to ensure system quality, security, and operational stability. Traditional manual testing often faces limitations in terms of execution speed, consistency, and scalability, making automated testing an essential approach in modern software development. This study aims to compare the performance of two widely used automated testing tools, Cypress and Selenium WebDriver integrated with the TestNG framework, in testing a banking web portal application. A quantitative experimental approach was employed by executing 104 automated test scenarios, consisting of 41 Login scenarios and 63 Customer Care scenarios, under identical testing conditions. The evaluation focused on execution time, test success rate, stability through repeated testing, and reporting capabilities. The findings reveal that both tools achieved a 100% test success rate across all scenarios. However, Cypress demonstrated significantly better performance in terms of execution efficiency, requiring only 511 seconds to complete all test cases, compared to 2,184 seconds required by Selenium WebDriver with TestNG. Repeated testing also confirmed the stability and consistency of Cypress results. In terms of reporting, Cypress provided a simpler and more user-friendly reporting mechanism, whereas Selenium TestNG with Allure offered more detailed analytical reporting features. In conclusion, Cypress is a more efficient automated testing solution for banking web portal applications, particularly when execution speed, ease of implementation, and testing productivity are prioritized.

Abstract

Gender participation gap in the workforce is influenced by various factors, including income, age, education, marital status, family size, culture, and social norms. In Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), understanding these factors is crucial to addressing gender disparities in employment participation. Despite widespread acknowledgment of cultural and social norms affecting gender roles, their actual impact on workforce participation remains unclear. This study aims to analyze the impact of income, age, education, marital status, family size, culture, and social norms on the gender participation gap in the workforce in NTB. This explanatory research uses a survey sampling method, with 140 respondents. The data is analyzed using multiple linear regression to test and estimate the hypotheses. The hypothesis testing reveals that income significantly affects the gender participation gap in the workforce. However, age, education, marital status, family size, and the cultural and social norm control factors were not found to have a significant impact on the gap in NTB. Culture and social norms, although expected to influence gender roles and household work division, did not significantly contribute to the differences in work hours between men and women. The study concludes that while income plays a significant role in gender workforce participation in NTB, cultural and social norms are not as influential as anticipated. Further research may explore the deeper effects of these norms on gender roles and expectations in the workforce.

Abstract

Career development and organizational commitment are critical factors in improving nurses’ performance and retention in private hospitals. However, understanding how nurses perceive career growth and its influence on their commitment remains essential, particularly in the Indonesian healthcare context where workforce stability is a key concern. This study aims to explore nurses’ perceptions of career development and organizational commitment, as well as to examine how demographic factors influence these relationships in private hospitals in Indonesia. The study employs a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design. It begins with quantitative analysis identifying career growth and demographic factors (age, gender, work experience, and work location) as predictors of organizational commitment. This is followed by a qualitative phase using virtual focus group discussions (FGDs) with 30 purposively selected nurses from private hospitals in North Sulawesi. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The findings reveal three main themes: a positive work environment, emotional involvement at work, and challenges faced in the hospital. These results confirm that career development significantly influences nurses’ organizational commitment, supported by both quantitative and qualitative evidence. Career development plays a vital role in strengthening nurses’ commitment to their organizations. Hospitals are recommended to design structured career development and counseling programs to enhance employee engagement and long-term retention.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a critical health concern among the elderly, encompassing central obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia, all of which are increasingly prevalent in nursing home settings. This study aimed to examine the relationship between eating patterns and the occurrence of metabolic syndrome among elderly residents at the Hajjah Hasmah Noor Foundation Nursing Home, North Jakarta, as well as to review these findings from an Islamic health perspective. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 35 elderly respondents. Data on dietary intake were collected using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and 24-Hour Food Recall, while metabolic syndrome was assessed through standardized measurements of waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and lipid profile. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level. The results revealed that 54.3% of respondents were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. Dietary assessment showed that 60% of respondents had excessive energy intake based on Nutritional Adequacy Rate (AKG) standards. A statistically significant relationship was found between eating patterns and metabolic syndrome (p = 0.013; OR = 6.25), central obesity (p = 0.017; OR = 5.76), and hypertension (p = 0.02; OR = 5.667). However, no significant relationship was established between eating patterns and hyperglycemia (p = 0.139) or dyslipidemia (p = 0.782). From an Islamic perspective, these findings align with the principles of moderation (wasatiyyah), avoidance of excess (isrāf), and the consumption of halal and thayyib foods, reinforcing the spiritual foundation of preventive health in the elderly.

Abstract

This study addresses the high prevalence of psychological stress among medical students, which can trigger oxidative stress characterized by increased Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Vitamin C, as a potent antioxidant, is expected to reduce oxidative stress and improve psychological conditions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of vitamin C supplementation on MDA levels and psychological stress among medical students of YARSI University class of 2022. This research employed a quantitative experimental design using a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) approach. A total of 36 respondents were divided into four groups receiving vitamin C doses of 500 mg, 1000 mg, 1500 mg, and a control group. Data were collected through laboratory analysis using ELISA for vitamin C and MDA levels, and psychological stress was measured using the DASS questionnaire before and after intervention. The results showed that vitamin C supplementation at a dose of 1000 mg significantly reduced MDA levels and increased vitamin C concentration, while 500 mg and 1500 mg doses showed no significant effect on MDA. All supplementation doses contributed to reducing psychological stress, with the most consistent effect observed at 1000 mg and 1500 mg. In conclusion, vitamin C supplementation, particularly at a dose of 1000 mg, is effective in reducing oxidative stress and psychological stress among medical students, indicating its potential as a supportive intervention for student health.

Abstract

The strong gender ideology within Balinese Hindu society influences the division of roles, power relations, and life experiences of women, including those who serve as Srathi. This study is motivated by the need to understand these lived experiences in the context of gender dynamics. This research aims to examine the experiences of women who work as Srathi within the dynamics of gender ideology in Balinese Hindu society and to explore its relevance as a source for social studies instruction at State Junior High School 1 Penebel. This qualitative phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of Srathi women in Mengesta Village through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies involving Srathi women, village leaders, and social studies teachers. Data validity was ensured through triangulation, and analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. This study employs Louis Althusser's theory of ideology, Anthony Giddens' structuration theory, Betty Friedan's liberal feminism theory, Simone de Beauvoir's existentialist feminism theory, and Dorothy Smith's standpoint theory. The results of this study indicate that the underlying motives of Mengesta Village women in carrying out their roles as Srathi are driven by economic motives, familial encouragement, community subjectivity, and traditional obligations. The experiences of Mengesta Village women who become Srathi can further be categorized into sekala experiences encompassing triple roles, marginalization, and resistance and niskala experiences encompassing spiritual intuition, messages from the unseen realm, and dream visualizations. These experiences hold strong potential as critical, contextual, and locally grounded social studies teaching resource for Grade VII, Chapter IV on Community Empowerment.
