Abstract

Economic growth and unemployment rates are two macroeconomic indicators used to measure the government's success in improving the welfare of the people. Low economic growth will lead to high unemployment rates, which is in line with Okun's law. Over the past two years, East Java's economic growth has contracted but has not been accompanied by a decline in unemployment rates. This is interesting considering that reality does not align with theory. This study aims to examine the consistency of Okun's law with reality both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. What is interesting about this study is that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the economy of East Java. This reality has actually improved the relationship between economic growth and unemployment rates. Based on Pearson's correlation coefficient, an inverse relationship was found between the pre- and post-pandemic periods. Therefore, it can be concluded that external interventions such as a pandemic can improve the relationship between the two variables to an appropriate level. The implications of these findings indicate that post-pandemic economic recovery needs to be directed towards strengthening labour-intensive sectors that absorb a large workforce. Policies to develop MSMEs, downstreaming, and improving skills after the pandemic could be the key to making East Java's economic growth more inclusive while reducing unemployment. Highlights: Tests Okun’s law consistency in East Java before and after COVID-19. Finds inverse correlation between growth and unemployment post-pandemic. Recommends post-pandemic recovery through labour-intensive and MSME sectors. Keywords: Economic Growth, Open Unemployment Rate, Okun's Curve, Pandemic, Pearson

Abstract

General Background: The role of women in society and Islam has long been a subject of debate, especially in the digital era where online media shape religious and gender discourse. Specific Background: The YouTube channel “Bener Gitu?”, initiated by the Indika Foundation, represents a form of digital da’wah that redefines women’s roles in social and religious contexts through accessible, youth-oriented audio-visual narratives. Knowledge Gap: Despite the rise of digital religious communication, limited research has examined how digital platforms reconstruct women’s social and religious identities from an Islamic feminist perspective. Aims: This study aims to analyze the reconception of women’s roles in the “Bener Gitu?” channel using a qualitative netnographic method with Asghar Ali Engineer’s Islamic Feminism framework. Results: The findings reveal four major reconceptualizations: shared domestic responsibilities between men and women, women’s right to participate in public life, monogamy as the ideal marital form, and individual moral accountability for women. Novelty: The research bridges digital da’wah studies with Islamic feminist theory, presenting a new understanding of how online media serve as agents of gender equality. Implications: This study highlights the potential of digital platforms to foster inclusive Islamic narratives that promote justice, equality, and social transformation in the modern Muslim community. Highlights: Reinterprets women’s roles through Islamic feminist perspectives. Highlights digital media as a tool for inclusive religious discourse.

Abstract

General Background: Bureaucratic reform in Indonesia emphasizes simplifying organizational structures and improving the professionalism of civil servants through the Functional Position Equalization Policy. Specific Background: This policy converts structural positions at echelons III and IV into competency-based functional roles, requiring employees accustomed to hierarchical systems to adapt to performance-based frameworks, influencing motivation and job satisfaction. Knowledge Gap: Despite the implementation of this policy, the Samarinda City Government’s SAKIP rating has remained stagnant at grade B from 2022 to 2023, indicating limited improvement in organizational performance. Aims: This study investigates how the functional position equalization policy affects organizational performance, with work motivation and job satisfaction as mediating variables. Results: Using a quantitative cross-sectional design with data from 118 respondents analyzed via SEM–WarpPLS, findings reveal that the policy significantly enhances performance, with work motivation acting as a full mediator and job satisfaction as a partial mediator. Novelty: The study integrates Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory to explain how policy-induced structural changes influence psychological factors in public organizations. Implications: Effective implementation of this policy depends on fostering intrinsic motivation and employee satisfaction to optimize public-sector performance transformation. Highlights: Policy reform enhances bureaucracy by shifting from structural to functional roles. Work motivation fully mediates the effect of policy on performance. Herzberg’s theory explains how motivation and satisfaction drive public-sector success. Keywords: Functional Position Equalization, Work Motivation, Job Satisfaction, Organizational Performance, Herzberg’s Theory

Abstract

General Background Early childhood is a critical period for cognitive development, including foundational numeracy skills such as recognizing number symbols. Specific Background Children aged 4–5 years at TK Islam Al-Faqih showed difficulties identifying number symbols 1–10 due to learning activities that relied on abstract and less engaging media. Knowledge Gap There was a need for contextual and concrete learning media that align with children’s developmental characteristics to address low initial performance in number symbol recognition. Aims This study evaluated the use of natural objects as learning media to support number symbol recognition among children aged 4–5 years through a Classroom Action Research design. Results Findings across two action cycles demonstrated progressive improvement in children’s abilities to mention number symbols, count using natural objects, and match quantities with symbols, with learning mastery increasing from 0% in the pre-cycle to 67% in Cycle I and 80% in Cycle II. Novelty The study demonstrates structured classroom implementation of natural object media, including seeds and twigs, within iterative action cycles to support early numeracy development. Implications The findings provide practical guidance for early childhood educators to utilize environmental resources as concrete learning media to support number symbol recognition and strengthen contextual numeracy learning in early childhood education settings. Highlights: Learning mastery increased from 0% at baseline to 80% after iterative classroom cycles. Children demonstrated progressive gains in counting, symbol identification, and quantity matching. Concrete environmental materials supported more engaging and contextual learning processes. Keywords: Natural Object Media, Number Symbol Recognition, Early Childhood Education, Classroom Action Research, Early Numeracy.

Abstract

General Background: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are increasingly recognized as significant global health burdens, particularly among young adults exposed to high stress, irregular routines, and limited dietary diversity. Specific Background: Military conscripts face unique physical and psychosocial pressures that may exacerbate FGID risks; however, Central Asian populations, including Uzbekistan, remain underrepresented in FGID epidemiology. Knowledge Gap: No prior standardized, large-scale study has assessed FGID prevalence and psychosomatic correlates among Uzbek military personnel, leaving a void in understanding regional patterns and predictors. Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence, subtypes, and psychological correlates of FGIDs among Uzbek conscripts using Rome-based diagnostic tools and the SCL-90R scale. Results: Among 910 participants aged 20–25, FGIDs were present in 19.8%, with functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome predominating. Somatization and obsessive–compulsive traits emerged as independent predictors, while depression showed a weak inverse relationship. Novelty: This is the first systematic study to map FGID prevalence and psychosomatic predictors in Uzbekistan’s conscript population, bridging regional epidemiological gaps. Implications: Findings underscore the necessity of integrating psychological and gastrointestinal screening, stress management, and dietary regulation into military health programs to enhance servicemen’s well-being and operational readiness.Highlight : The study found that FGIDs affected about 19.8% of Uzbek conscripts, mainly functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome. Somatization and obsessive–compulsive traits were identified as key psychological predictors of FGIDs. It represents the first systematic appraisal in Uzbekistan, highlighting psychosomatic and gut–brain interaction in military settings.
