Negative Binomial Regression is a statistical modeling approach used to analyze count data with overdispersion, where the variance exceeds the mean. This study applies the method to examine the influence of weather factors on the daily number of cyclists crossing the Williamsburg Bridge in New York City. The independent variables used in the analysis include maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and precipitation. The dataset was obtained from the NYC Department of Transportation through the Kaggle platform and covers the period from April 1 to April 30, 2016. The analysis began with a Poisson Regression model; however, the presence of overdispersion was identified, indicated by a high AIC value of 8598.19, suggesting that the model was not suitable. The alternative Negative Binomial Regression model was then employed and produced a significantly lower AIC value of 518.77, demonstrating a superior fit. The findings indicate that maximum temperature has a positive effect on the number of cyclists, while precipitation shows a significant negative effect. Conversely, minimum temperature does not exhibit a meaningful influence. These results highlight the importance of considering weather conditions when planning bicycle-based transportation systems and support the development of sustainable mobility strategies in urban environments.

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) in the working area of Mulyorejo Public Health Center, where an aluminum factory is located, rank first among the ten most common diseases. This study aims to analyze the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and PM2.5 exposure on ARI complaints in the aluminum factory area of Payageli Village, Deli Serdang Regency. The cross-sectional observational study involved 160 housewives living within a radius of 10–1500 meters from the factory’s chimney. The analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. Results showed that 58.1% of respondents experienced ARI symptoms in the past month. The average ambient (outdoor) PM2.5 concentration measured from three sampling points was 12.3 µg/m³, which did not exceed the WHO standard (<15 µg/m³). The highest concentration was recorded in the southern direction (15.5 µg/m³). Bivariate analysis indicated that education (p = 0.010), direction of house location (p = 0.001), and indoor PM2.5 concentration (p = 0.006) were significantly associated with ARI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the most dominant factor influencing ARI was indoor PM2.5 concentration (p = 0.039), followed by education (p = 0.013) and direction of house location (p = 0.001). This study provides a scientific basis for air quality control and housing environment improvement to reduce the risk of environmentally related diseases in industrial zones.

This study aims to analyze the influence of internal control systems and transparency on the accountability of village financial management. This type of research is quantitative and descriptive, using primary and secondary data. Data were collected using questionnaires and literature studies. The population was the Tanjung Datuk community and village officials, Siak Kecil sub-district, Bengkalis district, Riau. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling, with Yamane sample measurements, so the number of samples obtained was 237 people.

Poverty is one of the most difficult economic problems to solve. This problem occurs in all countries. Among the causes of poverty are poor human resources, a low quality of life, a rising unemployment rate, and a decrease in job availability each year, as well as wages that do not match living costs. This is not only due to low human resources; the government also plays a crucial role in this issue. The poverty rate is unavoidable, so an appropriate solution is needed to address this issue. One step to reducing poverty is to analyze which economic instruments can be optimized, especially in the Sidoarjo region. The poverty rate in Sidoarjo is quite high. The open unemployment rate in Sidoarjo ranks third in East Java province. Therefore, the author was interested in conducting this research. This study aims to determine the effect of the distribution of zakat, infaq, and alms (ZIS) funds, GRDP, and open unemployment on the poverty rate in Sidoarjo in 2013-2023. This study uses a quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis. The data processing tool used is SPSS. The results of the T test indicate that the distribution of ZIS funds has a significant effect on the poverty rate, while GRDP and open unemployment do not have a significant effect on the poverty rate partially. The F test shows that the distribution of ZIS funds, inflation, and GDP have a significant effect on the poverty rate simultaneously in the period 2013-2023. The limitation of this study is the use of variables that affect the poverty rate, so that future researchers can add or change these variables with other variables related to poverty.

In the increasingly developing digital era, the role of influencers on social media has become increasingly significant in influencing consumer behavior and their purchasing intentions. This study aims to quantitatively analyze the relationship between the presence of influencers on social media and consumer purchasing intentions. This research aims to determine how influencers and social media (TikTok) influence the purchasing intentions of Wardah products among female students of STBM Dua Sudara Bitung. This research uses a descriptive quantitative research design. The sample in this study was 77 respondents with a purposive sampling method. In addition, multiple linear regression analysis shows that factors such as age and gender can moderate the relationship between the presence of influencers on social media and purchasing intentions. For example, the millennial generation may be more likely to be influenced by influencers in their purchasing decisions compared to older generations. The data of this study were analyzed using the SPSS program. After the data was tested using a correlation test, the findings in this study obtained a value of 0.717. Then the value in the determination test was 0.000>0.05, which means there is a significant relationship. Furthermore, the results of the simple linear regression test showed that the calculated t-value was greater than the table t-value, indicating significant significance. This means that influencers and social media (TikTok) have a strong influence on Wardah product purchase intention among female students at STBM Dua Sudara Bitung.

The rapid advancement of smartphone technology has shaped consumer buying behavior, especially among students who depend on these devices for learning and social interaction. This research examines how product features and price perceptions influence students’ decisions to purchase Oppo smartphones in Malang City. Using a quantitative research design, data were obtained through questionnaires distributed to 428 respondents and processed using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that both product features and perceived price positively and significantly affect purchasing decisions, with product features demonstrating a more dominant role. The proposed model accounts for 66.2% of the variance in purchase decisions, suggesting that these two factors play a substantial part in shaping consumer choices. The results highlight the need for manufacturers like Oppo to focus on continuous feature improvements and maintain competitive pricing to strengthen market appeal. It is also suggested that future studies integrate additional variables such as brand image, marketing promotions, or user experience to offer a broader and more in-depth explanation of the determinants influencing smartphone purchase behavior.

 This study aims to analyze the influence of community-based tourism innovation and community participation on tourism sustainability in Sumba Barat Daya, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative survey design, the research involved [number of respondents] local tourism actors. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine the effect of both independent variables on the dependent variable of tourism sustainability. The results reveal that both community-based tourism innovation and community participation have a positive and significant impact on tourism sustainability (R² = 0.586). Community-based tourism innovation emerges as the most dominant factor with a coefficient of 0.420 (p < 0.001), while community participation shows a coefficient of 0.315 (p < 0.001). These findings affirm that the development of sustainable tourism relies not only on the level of community participation but also on the capacity of local communities to innovate in managing tourism destinations. The novelty of this study lies in integrating the dimensions of innovation and participation within the context of community-based tourism in Eastern Indonesia, thereby enriching the literature on Community-Based Tourism (CBT) and providing a foundation for policymakers to formulate strategies for sustainable tourism development. The recommendations include strengthening community innovation capacity, enhancing participatory mechanisms, and fostering cross-sectoral synergy to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1, SDG 8, SDG 11, and SDG 12.

This meta-analysis provides an in-depth examination of the effectiveness of community-based interventions in alleviating collective trauma experienced by populations in conflict zones of the Middle East, compiling 47 empirical studies (N = 12,483) published between 2000 and 2023. The synthesis indicates a significant impact of community-based interventions on reducing PTSD symptoms, with a substantial effect size (d = 0.82, 95% CI [0.76, 0.88], p < .001) and moderate heterogeneity (I² = 68%), reflecting inter-study variation yet remaining within interpretable bounds. Among the strategies analysed, community psychosocial support programs demonstrated the most pronounced effectiveness (β = 0.74, p < .001), followed by collective narrative therapy (β = 0.68, p < .001) and family-based rehabilitation interventions (β = 0.59, p < .001), all underscoring the relevance of approaches rooted in social networks and interpersonal relations. Moderator analyses revealed that longer program duration, particularly interventions spanning at least 6 months (β = 0.71, p < .001), and active engagement of local leaders (β = 0.65, p < .001) were critical determinants of intervention success. Furthermore, meta-regression findings indicated a strong and consistent correlation between the intensity of community involvement and reductions in collective trauma symptoms (R² = 0.73, p < .001), highlighting that social participation is not merely complementary but constitutes the foundation of program efficacy. In the researchers' view, these findings extend the contributions of prior studies by Hassan et al. (2016) and Morrison & Marrison (2024) by affirming the central role of local wisdom in trauma recovery processes, while offering a conceptual contribution in the form of an integrative framework that merges psychosocial interventions with community cultural values. Consequently, these results provide not only an empirical basis for developing more effective trauma-healing programs in Middle Eastern conflict zones but also underscore the urgency of contextual adaptation to ensure that interventions meet the most essential needs of affected populations.

This study aims to analyze the transformation of the educational pattern at the Indonesian Naval Academy (AAL) from a four-year to a three-year system and its impact on graduate competencies and operational readiness. This educational system change responds to budget efficiency needs and accelerated officer formation filling, yet raises questions about the new system's ability to maintain the quality of officer education. The research employs a mixed methods approach with a concurrent embedded design, involving 250 respondents comprising graduates from both educational systems, AAL instructors, and unit commanders receiving graduates. Quantitative data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (independent sample t-test and regression), while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies analyzed using thematic analysis. Results indicate no significant difference in overall Grade Point Average (GPA) between the two groups (p=0.470), but significant differences in competency patterns emerged: four-year system graduates excelled in theoretical competencies (p=0.001), while three-year system graduates excelled in practical competencies (p=0.003). Operational readiness evaluation shows that four-year system graduates obtained higher scores (82.5) compared to three-year system graduates (78.3), with significant differences (p=0.012), particularly in strategic leadership and complex decision-making aspects. Qualitative analysis identified five major themes: high learning time pressure, orientation shift from comprehensive to pragmatic, gaps in character formation and corps values, concerns about theoretical understanding depth, and need for more intensive post-graduation mentoring programs. This study concludes that educational time compression successfully increased operational efficiency but involved trade-offs in learning depth and professional maturity. To optimize the three-year educational system, a comprehensive approach is required, including curriculum revision with integrated learning methods, utilization of modern learning technology, strengthening of leadership development programs, and development of continuous professional mentoring systems. The recommendations of this research are expected to provide input for AAL and the Indonesian Navy in refining the officer education system to produce officers who are not only technically competent but also mature in leadership and strong in character.
