Tri Rijanto, Edy Sulistyo, Joko, Puput Wanarti Rusimamto — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Scholastic tests play a critical role in university admission systems, serving as gatekeeping mechanisms that influence both institutional quality and educational equity. Despite their widespread use, empirical evaluations of institutional admission test quality remain limited, particularly in developing country contexts. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the psychometric quality of the Scholastic Potential and Basic Ability Test (SPMB) administered at Universitas Negeri Surabaya during the 2023 academic year, examining reliability, item difficulty, discrimination indices, and distractor effectiveness. A quantitative descriptive research design using ex-post facto analysis was employed. The study analyzed test response data from 270 candidates who completed the 45-item SPMB, consisting of three subtests: Verbal Ability (15 items), Numerical and Reasoning Ability (15 items), and Figural Comprehension Ability (15 items). Data analysis utilized Classical Test Theory frameworks, calculating Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20) reliability coefficients, item difficulty indices (p-values), point-biserial discrimination coefficients (rpbis), upper-lower 27% discrimination indices (D), and distractor effectiveness metrics using SPSS 26.0 and ITEMAN 4.3 software. The total test demonstrated good internal consistency reliability (KR-20 = 0.84) with a mean score of 25.84 (SD = 6.78, 57.42% of maximum). Approximately 62% of items exhibited optimal moderate difficulty (0.40 ≤ p < 0.80), and 73% demonstrated good-to-excellent discrimination (rpbis ≥ 0.30). However, three items showed poor discrimination (rpbis < 0.20), 22 distractors were non-functional (16.30%), and six distractors exhibited problematic positive discrimination (4.44%). Subtest reliabilities ranged from 0.70 to 0.75, classified as acceptable. The SPMB demonstrated generally satisfactory psychometric quality but requires targeted improvements through systematic item revision, enhanced item writer training, and continuous quality monitoring. Findings provide actionable guidance for evidence-based test refinement and contribute empirical evidence to admission testing literature in Southeast Asian higher education contexts.

This concept is implemented through flexible, open, and integrated spaces, enabling an effective training process that is relevant to industrial needs.

Comparatif Analysis of Production Factor Efficiency of Molded and Crystal Coconut Sugar Businesses in Banyumas Regency

Mon, 25 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Coconut sugar agroindustry is one of the important rural economic activities that contributes to household income and local economic development. Differences in production systems between molded coconut sugar and crystal coconut sugar businesses may influence the efficiency of production factor utilization, particularly in the use of sap as the main raw material. This study aimed to identify differences in the efficiency of production factor use between molded coconut sugar and crystal coconut sugar businesses. The research employed a quantitative approach using comparative analysis of production factor use efficiency in both types of businesses. Primary data were collected through interviews and observations of coconut sugar producers. The results showed that the efficiency value of sap utilization in molded coconut sugar businesses was 1.02, while the efficiency value in crystal coconut sugar businesses was 1.03. These findings indicate that both businesses were relatively efficient in utilizing sap as a production factor because the efficiency values were greater than one. However, the efficiency levels were not yet optimal due to unpredictable rainy and dry seasons, which affected the quantity and quality of sap production. Fluctuating weather conditions caused inconsistencies in sap yield and influenced the effectiveness of production activities.

Sarini Sarini, Sisca Cletus Lamatokan, Imamah Imamah — Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The rapid development of globalization and information technology has influenced children's exposure to various cultures from around the world. While this condition provides opportunities for children to broaden their perspectives, it may also reduce their familiarity with local cultural values. Early childhood education plays an important role in introducing cultural identity and local wisdom from an early age. Therefore, learning media that integrate cultural values into children's learning activities are needed. This study aims to develop a picture storybook based on the local wisdom of Ogan Ilir as a learning medium to introduce cultural values to early childhood and to determine its feasibility and effectiveness. This research used a Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The subjects of this study were 30 children aged 5–6 years in TK Pertiwi Indralaya, Ogan Ilir Regency. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert validation questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test assessments. The results showed that the developed storybook obtained a feasibility score of 94% from material experts and 91% from media experts categorized as very feasible. The learning outcomes also showed improvement, with the average score increasing from 60.8 in the pre-test to 86.3 in the post-test.

Digital Citizenship Literacy among University Students: The Mediating Role of Critical Thinking and Media Awareness in Combating Misinformation

Bambang Yuniarto, Rivo Panji Yudha — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The proliferation of misinformation in digital environments poses a critical challenge for university students, necessitating integrative competency frameworks beyond isolated cognitive skills. This study examined the mediating role of digital citizenship literacy in the relationship between critical thinking, media awareness, and resistance to misinformation among undergraduate students at UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative cross-sectional survey design with purposive sampling, data were collected from 300 students across the Tadris IPS and Arabic Language Education programs using a validated five-point Likert-scale instrument. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4.0. Results demonstrated that critical thinking and media awareness significantly predicted both digital citizenship literacy and resistance to misinformation. Digital citizenship literacy emerged as the strongest direct predictor of misinformation resistance (β = 0.389, p < 0.001) and significantly partially mediated the effects of critical thinking (β = 0.133) and media awareness (β = 0.116) on misinformation resistance. The full model explained 54.1% of variance in misinformation resistance. These findings suggest that cultivating digital citizenship norms constitutes the most proximal mechanism through which cognitive and media competencies translate into behavioral resistance to false information. Implications for curriculum development, pedagogical practice, and higher education policy are discussed.

The Influence of Cashless Transaction Usage on Generation Z's Consumptive Behavior Moderated by Hedonic Lifestyle

Muhammad Adib Mawardi, Bambang Septiawan, Nabella Vatkumia Safitri — Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the influence of cashless transaction usage on Generation Z’s consumptive behavior and to determine whether hedonic lifestyle moderates the relationship. The research was conducted using a quantitative cross-sectional approach. Data were collected from 123 Generation Z respondents in Blitar City and its surrounding areas through a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire measured cashless transaction usage, consumptive behavior, and hedonic lifestyle. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics and Hayes’ PROCESS macro (Model 1) for moderation analysis. The results showed that the overall model was statistically significant and explained 56.4% of the variance in consumptive behavior. However, cashless transaction usage did not have a significant direct effect on consumptive behavior. Hedonic lifestyle also did not significantly moderate the relationship. Instead, hedonic lifestyle had a strong direct positive effect on consumptive behavior. These findings indicate that hedonic lifestyle, rather than cashless payment habits, is the main driver of impulsive and excessive consumption among Generation Z in this regional setting. The study contributes to consumer behavior theory by showing the important role of lifestyle factors in a cashless economy. Practically, the results can help fintech companies, educators, and policymakers create better programs to promote responsible spending among young people.

Dhimas Aulia Rahmawan, Ibrahim Tohar, Suko Istijanto — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Rapid digital transformation in urban environments has changed the way people access information and experience cultural spaces, increasing the demand for interactive and immersive architectural environments. In Surabaya, the availability of multimedia-based cultural facilities that integrate spatial experience and digital interaction remains limited. This study aims to develop a design framework for an Interactive Multimedia Gallery using an Experiential Architecture approach that integrates environmental responsiveness and multisensory spatial experience. The research focuses on a site located on Mayjend Sungkono Street, Surabaya. A qualitative-descriptive method combined with a design-based research approach is applied, including field observation, literature review, and environmental analysis. The findings indicate that environmental factors such as solar orientation, wind patterns, noise levels, and urban context significantly influence spatial zoning and design strategies. These conditions determine the arrangement of public, transitional, and immersive spaces within the gallery. Furthermore, experiential design strategies such as spatial sequencing, lighting modulation, material articulation, and interactive multimedia integration contribute to creating an immersive user experience. The study concludes that integrating environmental analysis with experiential architecture is essential for producing adaptive, interactive, and context-responsive cultural spaces in urban environments.

An Alternative Approach To Narcotics Trafficking Eradication In Indonesia: Institutional Perspectives From The National Narcotics Agency

Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Prevention and Eradication of Narcotics Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (P4GN) represents Indonesia’s principal national policy response to the escalating narcotics threat. This study evaluates the effectiveness of P4GN implementation by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) and proposes an alternative model to strengthen its policy framework. Recognizing narcotics abuse as not merely a legal violation but also a complex social and public health issue, the research underscores the need to integrate legal, institutional, and socio-cultural dimensions in both policy design and execution. This study adopts a normative legal approach, supported by qualitative analysis of key regulatory instruments, including Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, Presidential Instructions, the National Action Plan for P4GN (RAN P4GN), and internal BNN regulations. The analysis focuses on policy coherence, orientation, and implementation gaps within the existing framework. The findings reveal that, despite a relatively comprehensive legal and institutional foundation, P4GN implementation remains predominantly repressive. Current strategies prioritize law enforcement while insufficiently addressing prevention, rehabilitation, and community empowerment. Moreover, the absence of clear differentiation between drug users and traffickers undermines policy effectiveness and raises human rights concerns, ultimately limiting the sustainability of narcotics control efforts. To address these shortcomings, this study proposes an alternative policy model that reconfigures P4GN through a more balanced and integrated approach. The model emphasizes legal reform, institutional strengthening, and transformation of legal culture, while prioritizing preventive measures, rehabilitation, and community engagement alongside targeted enforcement against drug syndicates. It also advocates the use of data-driven strategies and information technology to enhance coordination. Within this framework, BNN is repositioned as a central cross-sectoral coordinator, promoting synergy among stakeholders. Grounded in public health and restorative justice perspectives, the model offers a more adaptive, effective, and humane approach to narcotics control in Indonesia.

Pius Patty Raya Kapuka, Tigor Wilfritz Soaduon Panjaitan, Mufidah — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Lembata Regency possesses coastal potential rich in natural beauty, cultural uniqueness, and marine resources that can be developed into coastal tourism areas. However, this potential has not been fully optimized due to the lack of well-directed site planning based on location feasibility. Therefore, conducting a site feasibility analysis is an essential step to ensure that the development of coastal tourism areas can be carried out effectively, safely, and sustainably. This study aims to formulate relevant site feasibility criteria as the foundation for designing coastal tourism areas in Lembata Regency. The research employs a quantitative approach by conducting field surveys, observations of existing conditions, and comparative studies of several similar coastal areas. The analysis assesses physical site characteristics, environmental quality, accessibility, infrastructure readiness, and natural attraction potential. The findings indicate that site feasibility is strongly influenced by stable soil conditions, well-preserved environmental quality, ease of access to the location, and the availability of supporting facilities surrounding the area. In addition, visual character and natural recreational potential serve as important factors in enhancing tourism appeal. These results are expected to serve as a foundation for designing more strategic and sustainable coastal tourism areas that can improve visitor experience.

Climate Change and Disaster Impacts on Rose Production: The Moderating Role of Farmer Institutions and Socioeconomic Characteristics

Muhammad Luthfie Fadhilah, Levana Masitajasmin Putri, Nur Indah Cahyaningtyas — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the factors affecting rose production, including climate and disaster impacts, farmer group membership, partnership, gender, age, and education. The research uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the Horticulture Household Survey (STH) conducted by the Central Java Bureau of Statistics, involving 107 farmers. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. The results show that, simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence rose production, as indicated by the Prob(F-statistic) value of 0.0251 (< 0.05). However, partially, only age and education have a positive and significant effect on production, while climate and disaster impacts, farmer group membership, partnership, and gender do not show significant effects. These findings suggest that farmers’ human capital plays a more important role than environmental and institutional factors in determining production outcomes. The study implies that improving farmers’ education and experience is crucial to increasing productivity. Strengthening extension services and training programs is recommended to enhance farmers’ adaptive capacity and technical skills. Future research should include additional variables such as land size, input use, and technology adoption to provide a more comprehensive analysis.

Keywords: climate change, farmer characteristics, partnership, regression analysis, rose production

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of providing procedural education in reducing the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) anxiety score in pre-surgical patients at Purwakarta Holistic Hospital. Anxiety is a systemic stress response that often arises due to uncertainty of information about the invasive procedures that patients will face. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a correlative descriptive design through a cross-sectional design. The study population involved all pre-operative patients in the study period with a total sampling technique of 30 respondents. The research instruments included a completeness questionnaire and a HARS scale observation sheet to measure 14 parameters of clinical manifestations of anxiety. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using the Chi-Square correlation test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a secondary education background (53.3%) and received procedural information in the incomplete category (63.3%). The distribution of anxiety levels was dominated by the moderate category of 46.7%, where the most prominent clinical manifestations were palpitations, motor anxiety, and insomnia. The results of statistical tests proved that there was a significant relationship between the completeness of the procedural information provision and the reduction of the patient's anxiety score (p < 0.05). The study's conclusions confirm that comprehensive procedural education is effective as a therapeutic instrument to mitigate systemic stress responses and improve patients' adaptive coping before invasive measures. The research recommendations emphasize the importance of revitalizing the educational role of nurses through standard operating procedures that require pain management guidance to ensure hemodynamic stability and patient safety in the surgical unit.

Ihza Maulana Zaen, Retno Hastijanti, Khoudiy Iffiyah — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Pandalungan culture represents the cultural identity of the Jember community, which emerged from the interaction and blending of Javanese and Madurese traditions. This cultural combination shapes unique social patterns, artistic expressions, and cultural systems within society. Despite its rich cultural diversity, Jember still lacks an integrated facility that can accommodate activities related to cultural education, preservation, and appreciation. This condition is particularly evident in coastal areas, which function as public spaces and important tourism corridors. In response to this issue, the gallery design adopts the concept of “Lahbako Pesisiran,” an approach that combines the communal values reflected in the Lahbako tradition with the open and adaptive character of coastal environments. The design process involves analyzing users, activities, and site context to develop spatial strategies that emphasize learning, social interaction, and creativity. The study shows that integrating local cultural values with coastal environmental potential can create a cultural facility that supports preservation while strengthening public space and cultural identity.

Therapeutic Architecture Based on Environmental Analysis in Healthcare Facility Design in Surabaya

Kansa Agnesia, Mufidah, Suko Istijanto — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Rapid urbanization in Surabaya has intensified environmental pressures, reduced green open spaces, and
increased stress levels among urban populations, highlighting the urgent need for healthcare
environments that support both physical recovery and psychological well-being. In this context,
therapeutic architecture offers a promising approach by integrating natural elements into spatial design
to enhance healing experiences.
This study aims to investigate the role of site analysis as a fundamental basis for designing holistic
healthcare facilities based on therapeutic architecture, focusing on a site located at Jalan Kalisari Permai I,
Mulyorejo District, Surabaya. The site is characterized by a relatively quiet residential environment,
adequate accessibility, and the presence of existing vegetation with favorable microclimatic conditions.
A qualitative descriptive method with a design-based research approach was employed, combining field
observations, literature review, and environmental analysis. Key site parameters include solar
orientation, wind patterns, noise levels, accessibility, vegetation, visual quality, and microclimate.
The findings reveal that site characteristics play a critical role in shaping therapeutic design strategies.
Variations in noise levels (74 dB at the front, 58 dB in the middle, and 49 dB at the rear) inform a layered
zoning system from public to private spaces. Solar exposure analysis highlights the need for heat control
on the western side and daylight optimization on the eastern and northern sides. Dominant east–west
wind patterns support cross-ventilation strategies, while existing vegetation enhances thermal comfort
and contributes to a restorative healing environment.
The implementation of therapeutic architecture is realized through hierarchical spatial zoning, passive
environmental design strategies, and the integration of a healing garden as a central design element.
This study contributes to bridging the gap between site analysis and architectural design by
demonstrating how environmental parameters can be systematically translated into spatial strategies for
holistic healthcare facilities. The findings provide a context-responsive design framework applicable to
urban healthcare environments in tropical regions.

Public Reception of Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) Program on Social Media

Rezki Rahmawati, Dewi Nuraliah — Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines public acceptance of the Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) program on social media through a qualitative content analysis of 100 comments purposively collected from Instagram, Twitter/X, and YouTube (between March 2025-March 2026). Manual sentiment analysis classified comments into positive, negative, and neutral categories, followed by thematic analysis to identify dominant discourse patterns. Grounded in Agenda Setting Theory (McCombs & Shaw) and Framing Theory (Entman), findings reveal that negative sentiment dominates public discourse, characterized by institutional distrust, budget accountability concerns, potential corruption, unequal distribution, and program sustainability. Twitter/X exhibited the most critical discursive character reflecting its deliberative nature, while YouTube demonstrated a more balanced sentiment distribution. Positive comments reflect appreciation for the program's nutritional objectives, particularly in addressing stunting. This negative dominance signals a credibility gap in government communication. Transparent, two-way, and evidence-based communication strategies are therefore imperative to shift public perception and strengthen trust in MBG implementation.
