Legal harmonization is a strategic step to enhance worker protection while maintaining national economic competitiveness.

This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing student collaborative learning, with a particular emphasis on AI-driven feedback mechanisms and patterns of student interaction in developing effective collaborative skills. Unlike prior studies, this research highlights the mediating effect of AI-driven feedback on teamwork efficiency and overall learning outcomes in collaborative environments. An explanatory quantitative approach was applied using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to ensure robust data analysis. Data were collected from 112 university students who were actively engaged in AI-assisted collaborative learning activities, using a structured online survey instrument. The data were subsequently analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results reveal that AI significantly enhances student interaction (β = 0.534, p < 0.000) and improves problem-solving feedback (β = 0.620, p < 0.000), both of which contribute to significantly strengthening collaborative skills (β = 0.716, p < 0.000). However, the findings also indicate that AI alone does not directly improve collaboration without the support of structured pedagogical design and guidance. Therefore, universities should strategically integrate AI-driven feedback into Learning Management Systems (LMS) and strengthen digital literacy initiatives to optimize the effectiveness and sustainability of AI in collaborative learning contexts.

To reduce these negative impacts, it is necessary to improve digital literacy, parental supervision, and education on social media ethics in schools. With a wise approach, TikTok can be used as a positive tool in building the character, creativity, and self-confidence of adolescent girls in the digital age.

Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a common ocular surface disorder that can impair visual function and quality of life, particularly among working-age adults. Although DES has a multifactorial etiology, nutritional factors, such as omega-3 fatty acid intake, have been suggested to modulate inflammation associated with the condition. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary omega-3 intake and dry eye syndrome in adults. This cross-sectional analytical observational study included 88 participants aged 15-59 years. Participants were selected using consecutive non-random sampling and assessed with a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) to estimate omega-3 intake, while dry eye symptoms were evaluated using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). Statistical analyses included chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. The results showed that 51.1% of the participants had insufficient omega-3 intake (<250 mg/day), and 29.5% experienced dry eye syndrome. No statistically significant association was found between sex or age and DES occurrence. However, a significant association was found between omega-3 intake and dry eye syndrome (p < 0.001), with individuals consuming insufficient omega-3 having a substantially higher risk of developing DES. These findings suggest that adequate omega-3 intake may play a protective role in dry eye syndrome. This study underscores the potential of dietary interventions as a strategy for preventing and managing DES.

The production process included pre-production, production, and post-production stages, with scriptwriting as the main focus in constructing a structured narrative. In Act I, the work introduced the station environment and the porter profession to build audience understanding. Act II developed the conflict through the portrayal of job uncertainty, income instability, and the daily life of the main subject. Act III presented a reflective conclusion through multiple perspectives and symbolic visuals. The result showed that the three-act structure effectively created a systematic narrative flow and strengthened message delivery. In conclusion, the human-interest approach combined with observational visuals effectively conveyed social realities and fostered audience empathy toward informal workers.
