In recent years, retail investor participation in Southeast Asian capital markets has surged, contributing to increased market volatility and making sentiment analysis a critical factor in understanding price dynamics. This study investigates the relationship between social media sentiment and stock market fluctuations by focusing on Twitter data during periods of market volatility in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. The objective is to examine how collective investor emotions, as expressed through social media, correlate with daily stock index movements. Employing an exploratory quantitative approach, the study integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, both lexicon-based tools such as VADER and advanced transformer-based models like BERT and GPT, to classify over 150,000 tweets into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Sentiment scores were then aggregated and statistically tested using Pearson correlation with daily stock index returns, specifically the IDX Composite, SET Index, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia. The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between negative sentiment and market returns, particularly in the IDX Composite (r = -0.61, p < 0.05), indicating that pessimistic sentiment is associated with market downturns. Thailand’s SET Index and Malaysia’s FTSE Index showed moderate to weak negative correlations, with r = -0.43 and r = -0.27, respectively. These results highlight the sensitivity of emerging markets to emotionally driven retail behavior. The study concludes that AI-based sentiment analysis offers a valuable early warning tool for market volatility and can complement traditional financial indicators. It recommends developing AI-based sentiment dashboards and enhancing digital financial literacy to mitigate emotional reactivity among retail investors.

This study aims to analyze the impact of online learning on students' learning independence at the secondary school level. The research is motivated by the significant shift in the education system due to the pandemic, which required students to adapt to technology-based distance learning. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation, supported by quantitative questionnaires from previous studies. The findings indicate that online learning has both positive and negative effects on students' learning independence. Positive impacts include increased student responsibility in completing assignments, ease of accessing learning materials anytime and anywhere, and enhanced parental involvement in supporting their children's learning at home. However, negative effects were also identified, such as students' tendency to engage excessively in gaming, reduced effectiveness of the learning process, and delays in task submission due to workload accumulation. Regression analysis results show a significant influence between online learning and learning independence, although the effect is moderate to low in some cases. Factors such as learning motivation, self-efficacy, and the support of the online learning environment play crucial roles in shaping student independence. The study recommends collaboration among government, schools, teachers, parents, and the wider community to improve the quality and quantity of online learning facilities, as well as more varied learning strategies to optimally support the development of students' learning independence.

This study aims to analyze law enforcement in collecting Income Tax (PPh) against foreign companies that have the status of foreign taxpayers in Indonesia in a normative legal manner. In a national economic situation that is experiencing a slowdown, optimizing tax revenues is an important strategy for the government to improve fiscal stability and economic growth. Foreign companies, both those running businesses through Permanent Establishments (PE) or without PE, are subject to tax obligations on income earned in Indonesia. Law enforcement in tax collection is carried out through a preventive approach such as the establishment of the Directorate of International Taxation, the implementation of the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI), and intensive supervision of Tax Returns (SPT). In addition, a repressive approach in the form of tax audits and tax collection is strictly carried out against domestic business entities that act as tax collectors for foreign companies. This study concludes that the combination of preventive and repressive efforts carried out by the Directorate General of Taxes is effective in ensuring compliance with foreign taxpayers and increasing state revenues from the international taxation sector.

The Center for Teaching and Learning Activities (PKBM) is one of the non-formal educational institutions that has a strategic role in improving the quality of human resources through various learning programs. PKBM provides a variety of educational services such as equality education, skills training, and various kinds of community empowerment programs.

The method used in this study is data description with an ethnographic approach. Data collection used interview techniques with selected resource persons. The results obtained from this study are known if the sources of funds contained in PKBM Karya Bhakti are obtained from the government, namely from the Director General of PNFI (Indonesia Non-Formal Education), the East Java Provincial Education Office, and the Pacitan Regency Education Office, in addition to that the sources of funds are obtained from independent or independent institutions and businesses from PKBM itself.  By diversifying funding sources and optimizing the use of funds, PKBM can reduce dependence on one source of funding, thereby increasing operational stability and financial sustainability. Good management also allows greater access to resources, which can be used to improve the quality of education and services, as well as develop more relevant and innovative programs and curricula. The active participation of the community in the financing management process will strengthen the relationship between PKBM and its community, as well as encourage greater support. Seeing this, additional funds are needed for PKBM so that educational activities can run as well as possible.

Neuropati diabetika merupakan komplikasi serius pada penyandang diabetes melitus (DM) yang dapat menyebabkan kecacatan akibat ulserasi, amputasi, dan gangguan mobilitas. Skrining dini sangat penting untuk mendeteksi neuropati lebih awal dan mencegah komplikasi. Namun, masih banyak kasus neuropati diabetika yang tidak terdeteksi di Jayapura. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif dengan pendekatan survei analitik. Responden adalah penyandang DM tipe 2 di RSUD Jayapura, RS Dian Harapan, PKM Abepura dan PKM Kotaraja.  yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Deteksi dini neuropati dilakukan menggunakan Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), Ipswich Touch Test (IpTT), dan Monofilament Test. Data dianalisis secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan perangkat lunak statistik sederhana. Dari 91 responden yang diperiksa, sebagian besar mengalami gejala neuropati perifer yang meliputi kram otot, kelemahan, rasa tertusuk dan terbakar, nyeri seperti terbakar, serta kulit kering dan pecah-pecah. Hanya 24 responden yang sebelumnya telah diinformasikan oleh dokter mengenai neuropati diabetika. Pada Monofilament Test, hampir setengah dari responden tidak merasakan sentuhan pada beberapa titik, menunjukkan neuropati perifer. Skrining IpTT mengidentifikasi 75 responden mengalami neuropati, dengan beberapa di antaranya tidak dapat merasakan hingga enam sentuhan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan tingginya prevalensi neuropati perifer pada penyandang DM tipe 2 di Jayapura, yang sebagian besar belum terdeteksi sebelumnya. Skrining dini dengan MNSI, IpTT, dan Monofilament Test efektif dalam mengidentifikasi neuropati diabetika, sehingga dapat membantu intervensi lebih awal untuk mencegah komplikasi lebih lanjut.
