In a context where students face increasingly complex academic choices, this work proposes a recommendation system based on Bayesian networks to guide new baccalaureate holders in their university choices. Using a dataset containing variables such as secondary school section, gender, type of school, percentage obtained, age, and first-year honors, we have constructed a probabilistic model capturing the dependencies between these characteristics and the option chosen. The data is collected at the Catholic University of Bukavu, the Official University of Bukavu, and the Higher Institute of Education of Bukavu, preprocessed and then used to learn the structure via the hill-climbing algorithm with the BIC score using R's bnlearn tool. The model enables us to estimate the probability that a candidate will choose a given stream, depending on their profile. The approach has been validated using metrics such as BIC, cross-validation, and bootstrap and offers a good compromise between interpretability and predictive performance. The results highlight the potential of Bayesian networks in constructing explainable recommendation systems in the field of academic guidance. The system produces orientation probability maps for each candidate, which can be used by enrollment service advisers, as well as an ordered list of options relevant to the candidate's profile. With a remarkable performance on a test sample of precision@k=0.85, recall@k=0.61, ndcg=0.8, and Map=0.88, it constitutes an effective lever for reducing the risk of being misdirected in universities in South-Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo

This paper discusses the impact of the Sudanese refugee crisis on security stability in the Chad border region. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces since April 2023 has triggered a massive wave of refugees, making Chad one of the main recipient countries. Using a regional security complex theory approach, this paper shows that the flow of refugees not only creates social and economic pressures, but also magnifies security risks such as infiltration of armed groups, tensions between communities, and weak control in the border region. Through document analysis, the paper highlights how Chad's capacity constraints exacerbate the situation, as well as the need for a long-term response involving cross-actor coordination and sustained international support.

This research was conducted to analyze and understand the performance of the company PT Tjiwi Kimia Tbk with the Dupont system as an analytical tool. The data used in this study are secondary data, namely the company’s financial statements sourced through the IDX with the observation period 2020-2024. In the analysis conducted, it was found that the performance of the company PT Tjiwi Kimia in 2020-2024 was not good. This is because although the company showed a good ability to manage sales profitability (NPM) in several years and control the use of good debt (declining EM), the lack of efficient use of assets hindered the company’s ability to generate optimal returns for shareholders which resulted in a low ROE value. In signaling theory, a declining Equity Multiplier trend indicates a positive signal to investors regarding prudent debt management and more controllable financial risks. However, the low ROE value indicates a negative signal that the company needs to improve to increase investor confidence in profitability prospects.

Namely, 42% of frauds are detected by complaints (tips). Research comparing theory and empirical evidence on private entities in Indonesia is quite minimal. This research aims to prove the influence of an ethical code on the risk of asset misappropriation through whistleblowing intentions. The population of this study are employees of medium-scale entities in Jabodetabek and East Java. The sampling method used is purposive. The sample for this research is companies located in Jabodetabek and East Java with employees ranging from 70 to 150 people. This research uses primary data, namely a questionnaire. The researcher tested the validity and reliability of the data through a pilot test. If these two conditions are already met, the data then being analyzed further using path analysis. The data must also meet classical assumptions and linearity testing in path analysis testing. The researcher tested the direct influences using Ordinary Least Square. Meanwhile, the Sobel Test was used to test the indirect influence of the research variables. The Sobel Test results show that whistleblowing intention is proven to mediate the influence of the ethical code on the risk of asset misappropriation. The mediating effect of whistleblowing intention is partial. Whistleblowing intention as a mediator variable has been proven in this research, in line with various previous studies. Because it is proven to mediate partially, the novelty in this research is apart from being a mediator variable, whistleblowing intentions can also be an independent variable, with the risk of asset misappropriation as the dependent variable.

This study aims to examine the role of biomechanics in preventing injuries in karate athletes through a systematic review. The research method follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework with a literature search in the Science Direct database, Google Scholar, and the use of tools such as VOSviewer and Publish or Perish. Studies that met the inclusion criteria (10 articles) were analyzed to identify injury patterns, biomechanical factors, and prevention strategies. The results showed that the most common injuries in karate athletes were contusions, calf muscle strains, and finger sprains, which were related to force distribution, extreme joint angles, and postural control. Biomechanical analysis (motion capture, EMG, force plate) proved that technique correction, proprioception training, stabilizing muscle strengthening, and balance training could reduce the risk of injury by up to 20%. Significant differences were found between novice and elite athletes in terms of movement consistency and neuromuscular control. The integration of biomechanical principles with karate philosophy (mushin, zanshin, kime) was also emphasized to maintain a balance between performance and cultural values. Limitations of the study include heterogeneity of measurement instruments and potential publication bias. Future recommendations include longitudinal studies, development of portable devices (IMUs), and personalization of training programs based on individual biomechanical profiles

In the first quarter of 2025, the Indonesian rupiah experienced a significant depreciation, weakening from approximately IDR 15,800 per USD in January to IDR 17,200 per USD by the end of March 2025. This study aims to identify and analyze the external and domestic factors contributing to the rupiah’s decline during this period. External pressure mainly stemmed from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance—maintaining its benchmark interest rate at 5.25%–5.50% which triggered capital outflows from emerging markets. Additionally, global geopolitical uncertainty, including tensions in Eastern Europe and trade frictions between the U.S. and China, raised the global risk premium and strengthened the U.S. dollar against the rupiah. On the domestic side, Indonesia’s trade deficit widened to USD 3.2 billion in Q1 2025 due to rising energy import demand amid surging global oil prices. Furthermore, the state budget deficit increased to IDR 104.2 trillion by March 2025 up 20% year on year undermining investor confidence. Using a qualitative descriptive method through content analysis of reports from Bank Indonesia, BPS trade statistics, and relevant media sources, this study finds that the combination of elevated U.S. interest rates, geopolitical tensions, trade imbalances, and fiscal deficits accelerated the depreciation of the rupiah. Policy recommendations include targeted foreign exchange intervention by Bank Indonesia, monetary tightening in line with global trends, fiscal consolidation to reduce the budget deficit, and export diversification to mitigate external shocks.

Traditional drama of the archipelago is one of Indonesia's cultural heritages that has an important role. This study aims to explore the plot structure and intrinsic elements in several forms of traditional drama in Indonesia. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach, with content analysis methods of scripts and performance documentation as the main data sources. The findings show that the plot of traditional drama generally consists of five narrative stages, namely introduction, emergence of conflict, climax, decline of tension, and resolution. Intrinsically, these dramas present universal themes such as justice, love, sacrifice and resistance to injustice, with characters clearly divided between good and evil. The plot tends to run chronologically, supported by settings that depict the real conditions of local communities, and dialog that is packaged in the form of rhymes, poems, or local languages. Moral messages are an important element in traditional dramas that strengthen local cultural values. Based on the results of the analysis, traditional Nusantara drama is proven to have a distinctive structure and rich intrinsic content, so it deserves more attention in the field of education and cultural preservation.

This study discusses how corporate governance (Good Corporate Governance/GCG) plays a role in reducing and controlling financial risk in an organization. Financial risk is an inseparable aspect of business activities, especially when companies face unstable and challenging market conditions. Therefore, a governance system is needed that can help companies recognize potential risks early on, as well as set appropriate handling strategies to minimize their impact on business continuity. The method used in this study is a literature study, namely by collecting secondary data from scientific journals and trusted articles that are relevant to the topic. The discussion includes theoretical foundations related to GCG principles, corporate governance structures, and financial risk mitigation steps. In addition, the role of the government in providing regulatory support is also discussed as part of the external factors that affect the effectiveness of corporate governance. From the results of the analysis, it is known that the application of GCG principles such as transparency, accountability, and responsibility has a major influence on the company's resilience in facing financial risks. A clear organizational structure and strong supervision allow companies to manage risks systematically. In other words, GCG makes a real contribution to strengthening a sustainable and adaptive risk management system to changes in the business environment.

A comprehensive understanding of Islamic law cannot be separated from the historical context of its formation, known as the Tarikh Tasyri'. This research aims to examine the urgency of studying the Tarikh Tasyri' in order to understand Islamic law completely and contextually. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach through content analysis of various primary and secondary sources. The research results show that without understanding the historical background of a law, the risk of distortion of meaning and inappropriate application is very high. Tarikh Tasyri' provides an important methodological framework for understanding the dynamics of law formation, and is the basis for modern ijtihad in responding to the challenges of the times. The implications of this research suggest the need to strengthen the teaching of Tarikh Tasyri' in the Islamic education curriculum and its application in contemporary legal practice and fatwas.
