The problem of this study is the lack of students' critical thinking skills in mathematics learning. The purpose of this text is to describe critical thinking in mathematics. The methodology used in the research of this article is qualitative. One of the methods used is qualitative using data collection techniques in the form of diagnostic tests. From several sources obtained, the most relevant data related to this article are presented. The ability to think critically has been proven to have a very important role in learning the material rounding numbers. Students who have good critical thinking skills are not only able to apply rounding rules mechanically, but also understand basic concepts and can apply them in various problem contexts. This study recommends the importance of integrating learning strategies that can develop students' critical thinking skills in mathematics learning, especially through problem-based learning approaches and contextual learning.

Whale shark boat operators are people or organizations that manage and operate boats for tourism purposes that involve interaction with whale sharks. The basis of this study was conducted to analyze the income earned by whale shark boat operators and their operational challenges. Several factors that need to be considered include the number of tourists, the rates charged by the operator, and the operational costs that must be borne. The purpose of this study is to analyze the income and evaluate challenges faced by whale shark tour boat operators. This study uses descriptive survey and observation methods using primary and secondary data, and quantitative income analysis, to identify respondents using the census sampling method. Based on the results of the study, the average net income of whale shark tour boat operators in Botubarani is Rp. 11,710,000 per year.

University students often face psychological challenges, one of which is anxiety, which can negatively affect learning and academic performance. This study aims to explore the anxiety experienced by students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting (KPI) Department at the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication, particularly during classroom presentations. A qualitative method was employed, using in-depth interviews with selected KPI students as participants. The findings reveal that anxiety is triggered by academic pressure, social expectations, and a lack of self-confidence. The impacts include reduced concentration, difficulty speaking in public, and challenges in expressing ideas. Despite these issues, students employ various coping strategies, such as thorough preparation, individual practice, and support from peers. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of a more supportive learning environment that considers students' mental well-being.

This study aims to analyze the impact of financial distress, measured using the Springate S-Score, information technology represented by IT spending, and macroeconomic factors such as interest rates and exchange rates on the stock returns of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period of 2019-2023. The research method employed is multiple linear regression analysis with a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data from annual financial reports of SOEs selected through purposive sampling. The results show that financial distress, as proxied by the Springate S-Score, has a significant positive effect on stock returns, while information technology does not have a significant impact on stock returns. The macroeconomic factor, exchange rate, has a significant positive effect on stock returns, whereas interest rates show no significant relationship. Overall, these findings provide insights for investors and SOE management in formulating more effective investment strategies and operational decisions in the capital market.
