Abstract

Background. Effective data management and visualization are essential for fast and informed decision-making in the retail industry. However, traditional data visualization methods are often less interactive and need help comprehensively conveying information. Augmented Reality (AR) offers great potential to improve visualizing data, allowing users to interact with data more intuitively and dynamically. Purpose. This research aims to integrate Augmented Reality technology with Management Information Systems (MIS) in retail, focusing on improving data visualization. The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of AR in presenting complex data more clearly and interactively to enhance the quality of decision-making in retail management. Method. The research method used is application development and testing. First, an AR application integrated with MIS is developed using an iterative software development approach. Once the application is created, testing is done in a retail environment. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected through observations, interviews, and surveys to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of this technology. Results. Research results show that integrating AR with MIS significantly improves how retail managers visualize and understand data. AR applications enable more interactive and easy-to-understand data visualization, which helps managers analyze trends and make better decisions. Users report improvements in decision-making efficiency and accuracy after using this app. Conclusion. Integration of Augmented Reality with Management Information Systems in retail has proven effective in improving data visualization. This technology not only makes data more accessible and understandable but also enhances user interaction with the data, leading to more informed decision-making. This research suggests a more comprehensive application of AR technology in the retail industry to support better and more efficient management.

Abstract

Background. The development of digital technology, especially social media, has changed how information is disseminated and accessed. Social media is essential in communicating the results of humanities and social sciences research. However, the impact of social media on the effectiveness and reach of research dissemination in this area has yet to be studied. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the impact of social media on disseminating research in the humanities and social sciences. The focus is to evaluate how social media affects public reach, interaction, and acceptance of research results. Method. This study uses a mixed methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative analysis. The quantitative data was collected through an online survey involving 300 humanities and social sciences researchers. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 20 selected researchers. Descriptive statistical analysis is used to identify patterns and trends, while thematic analysis is used to explore insights from interviews. Results. The results showed that social media significantly increased public reach and interaction with humanities and social sciences research. Researchers reported increased visibility and public engagement of their work through Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn platforms. However, there are also concerns about the quality of interactions and the risk of spreading inaccurate information. Conclusion. This study concludes that social media significantly impacts the dissemination of research in the humanities and social sciences, especially in increasing public reach and interaction. However, to maximize the benefits, appropriate strategies are needed to manage risks and ensure the quality of interactions. The study recommends developing guidelines and training for researchers to utilize social media effectively in disseminating their research results.

Abstract

Background. Student mental health has become a significant concern in education, especially given the increasing academic and social pressures they face. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) techniques effectively reduce stress and improve mental well-being in various populations. However, their application in educational settings is still relatively new and requires further research to understand their impact. Purpose. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of MBSR techniques in improving students’ mental health and learning ability in educational environments. A key focus was to measure changes in stress levels, emotional well-being, and academic performance before and after the MBSR intervention. Method. This study used an experimental design with a control group. The study sample consisted of 100 high school students divided into two groups: an intervention group that received MBSR sessions for eight weeks and a control group that did not receive an intervention. Data were collected using stress scale questionnaires, emotional well-being scales, and academic performance records before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical techniques and independent t-tests to compare results between the two groups. Results. The results showed that students who attended the MBSR program experienced a significant reduction in stress levels and improved emotional well-being compared to the control group. In addition, the student’s academic performance in the intervention group also showed better improvement than the control group, although this improvement was not statistically significant. Conclusion. This study concludes that MBSR techniques effectively reduce stress and improve students’ emotional well-being in educational settings. Although the improvement in academic performance was not statistically significant, these findings point to the potential of MBSR as a beneficial approach to improving students’ mental health and learning ability. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of MBSR and the optimization of its application in educational contexts.

Abstract

Background. Humans as social creatures use language to interact with each other. In the interaction process, language can be spoken and written. Spoken language is expressed in direct speech, while written language is expressed in written form. The Toba Batak people have local wisdom in the form of expressions, namely Pantun hangoluan, tois hamagoan. This means that if we live our lives with polite and courteous behavior, we will have a good life. Purpose. This research aims to determine language politeness in the Toba Batak community in Jambi City. Method. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method. The data source for this research is Toba Batak speakers in Arisan Marga, Parsahutaon, Martandang, and Lapo. Data collection techniques in this research used listening and note-taking techniques. The listening technique is carried out by listening and recording the speech, then the note-taking technique is by recording important data from the informant's speech. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman method, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification. Results. The results of this research found 94 data that complied with the principles of language politeness maxims. In Arisan Marga there are 29 data, in Parsahutaon there are 22 data, in Martandang there are 19 data, and in Lapo there are 24 data. Compliance with language politeness is mostly dominated by the maxim of wisdom with 39 data, the maxim of agreement with 17 data, the maxim of respect with 16 data, the maxim of generosity with 14 data, the maxim of sympathy with 6 data, and the maxim of humility with 2 data. Conclusion. From the research results it can be concluded that there are more maxims of wisdom than the maxims of humility and the maxims of sympathy.
