Abstract

The highest level of completing school education is tertiary education. Not many students do not continue their education to university, so they choose to look for work and some choose to work to be able to pay for college. With so many students who are not only preoccupied with lecture matters but participate in activities outside of lecture activities such as participating in organizations both on and off campus and working part-time. But in reality, they often have difficulty dividing their time.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide a conceptual framework regarding organizational climate. Researches and theory regarding Organizational Climate began in 1968 and is still being researched until 2023. Most studies show that organizational climate has an influence on work performance in organizations, such as productivity, performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. However, several studies have shown results with very low significance. This research will explain the importance of personal characteristics in forming a positive perception of the organizational climate especially in the university.

Abstract

After Covid-19, several educational institutions have adopted the hybrid learning system. The transition of learning systems from face-to-face to hybrid settings presents obstacles and challenges that require adaptive solutions. The compatibility between hybrid learning systems and student learning style preferences is an issue that needs to be studied in more depth. Students have their preferred way when it comes to learning. They prefer to learn through visual (V), aural (A), read-write (R), or kinesthetic (K). Depending on their learning styles, student adaptation may have been challenging. In this regard, a study was designed to identify the learning style preferences among students. The VARK questionnaire is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools, allowing teachers to understand students' learning preferences and develop innovative learning practices. A quantitative cross-sectional design was conducted among students (n=486) in Univeristy X using the VARK questionnaire. Student learning style preferences were identified using latent profile analysis. Our findings suggest that most students were identified as having multiple learning modalities, while the rest had a single learning modality. Prevalence of kinesthetic and aural learning styles preference highest among students, followed by visual and read-write learning styles. Understanding how students retain the knowledge imparted to them is essential for lecturers to develop innovative and adaptive strategies.

Abstract

This research explores the potential influences of mindfulness and meditation practices on adolescent mental health in East Java, Indonesia. Adolescence is a critical period marked by significant physical and emotional changes, making mental health a growing concern. Mindfulness and meditation have gained recognition globally as tools for enhancing mental well-being, but their effectiveness in East Java's cultural context remains underexplored. We employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative 145 sample surveys and qualitative 5 informan interviews, to investigate this relationship comprehensively. The quantitative analysis revealed a statistically significant positive impact of mindfulness and meditation practices on mental health outcomes, with variations based on gender, age, and socio-economic status. Qualitative findings highlighted the cultural significance of these practices and the importance of community and family support. Despite the positive cultural attitudes, stigmatization of mental health issues remains a challenge. These results emphasize the need for culturally tailored interventions that integrate traditional values and address stigma, ultimately contributing to the well-being of East Javanese adolescents.

Abstract

Shemale is a condition for a person who is medically male but behaves and acts like a woman. In general religious and socio-cultural views, the position of shemale is considered as part of a social deviation, which implies limited access to socio-economy, education, and other public spaces. The social marginalization of shemale, in turn, exacerbates the quality of life for shemale themselves. This condition is different from someone who identifies as shemale in the entertainment industry. In the world of entertainment, identity as shemale tends to get better reception and get a special space. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods on several data obtained from a data collection instrument in the form of a questionnaire and interview. The questionnaire was used to assess adolescents' views on the rise of celebrities who use shemale identity as a breaker in the world of entertainment as well as to assess the views of adolescents in accepting shemale groups in various social aspects, such as educational opportunities, work, and also family life which are calculated in numbers spread through an online form. The results of the data show that both in social and entertainment in general, adolescents tend not to reject the existence of a shemale, feel that their behavior is funny, and there are high doubts about whether this is appropriate.

Abstract

Utilizing technologies for processing fruits and vegetables is crucial for tackling major issues with contemporary food systems. In the supply chain for fruits and vegetables, this research examines the diverse effects of processing methods on sustainability, waste reduction, and nutritional improvement. Our study employs a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative information from expert interviews with quantitative data analysis from 150 samples to provide a thorough evaluation of this topic. The results show that processing technologies have a considerable impact on waste reduction, energy conservation, and resource efficiency. These technologies are also crucial for extending product shelf life and raising marketable yield, which decreases food waste. Although some nutrients are lost during processing, cutting-edge methods have been shown to increase nutrient retention. This study not only clarifies the intricate relationships that exist between processing technologies and sustainability, but it also offers a foundation for future research in this vital area. The lessons learned from this study have significant significance for the creation of sustainable and nutrient-dense food systems as we struggle with the urgent challenge of feeding a growing global population while protecting the environment and enhancing nutrition.

Abstract

In the digital age, adolescents in DKI Jakarta Province, Indonesia, are experiencing a transformative shift in their lifestyles, characterized by the pervasive influence of digital technologies. This research aimed to comprehensively investigate the multifaceted impact of digital lifestyles on the health of adolescents, with a specific focus on social media abuse, physical inactivity, and psychological well-being. Through a mixed-methods approach encompassing surveys and interviews, data from 500 adolescents were collected and analyzed. The findings revealed that digital lifestyles have become integral to the lives of adolescents, with social media use averaging 3.5 hours per day. However, this extensive use has led to concerning issues, including cyberbullying experiences among 18% of participants and feelings of inadequacy in 42% due to social comparison. Additionally, physical inactivity was prevalent, with only 38% meeting the recommended daily physical activity guidelines. These behaviors were associated with various health implications, such as poor sleep quality and eye strain. Psychological well-being also bore the brunt of digital lifestyles, with 32% of adolescents reporting symptoms of anxiety and 28% experiencing symptoms of depression. Despite these challenges, self-esteem levels remained moderate to high for most participants.

Abstract

This study investigated the state of mental health among students at a leading university in West Java, Indonesia, focusing on the prevalence of mental health problems, awareness of available resources, access to therapy, and the effectiveness of campus support systems. A quantitative approach was employed, using a cross-sectional survey to collect data from a representative sample of 200 students. The results showed a significant prevalence of mental health challenges, including stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Worryingly, most students lacked awareness of available mental health resources. Access to therapy and counseling services is hindered by stigma and long wait times. While some campus support systems received positive feedback, others were deemed in need of improvement. To address these issues, recommendations included a comprehensive awareness campaign, efforts to reduce stigma, increased access to counseling services, and improved campus support systems. These findings underscore the urgent need to prioritize mental health support within the university community.
