Kajian Penerapan Teknologi Cerdas dalam Sistem Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) Pada Jalan Toll Trans Sumatera
Get PDFQueues at toll gates remain a major problem on highways. This often causes congestion when approaching the toll gates, as the number of incoming vehicles exceeds the existing service capacity. The Indonesian government will implement a Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system as a solution so that toll road users do not need to stop their vehicles when making toll payments. However, the government needs to further investigate the problems that may arise from eliminating queues, such as changes in traffic characteristics and vehicle arrival times at major toll road intersections. This study examines the implementation plan and attempts to identify potential problems when MLFF is implemented. It also examines how to maintain these positive impacts so that the toll road can meet minimum service standards. This study uses forecasting or time series methods for traffic occurrences, taking into account service times, queuing systems, and gate capacity. This study also considers the project's financial feasibility based on toll revenues and a cost-benefit analysis of the toll road. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the implementation of the MLFF system at the Keramasan toll gate is feasible from a physical and financial perspective. However, in the transition process, good socialization is needed from the government and toll road investors, as well as public acceptance of the MLFF system or this new payment transaction
Hubungan Kemampuan Metakognitif dengan Gaya Belajar Siswa
Get PDFMetacognitive ability and learning style are two crucial aspects that influence the success of students learning processes. Although they differ conceptually, both are interrelated and interact in determining learning effectiveness. This study aims to explore the relationship between metacognitive ability and learning style, as well as to evaluate whether metacognitive ability corresponds proportionally with learning style. The method used in this research is literature analysis. By collecting and analyzing various relevant studies, the researcher investigates the relationship between metacognitive ability and learning style, both conceptually and practically. The analysis results reveal a positive correlation between metacognitive ability and learning style. Students with higher metacognitive ability tend to be more aware of their own learning styles and are more effective in managing learning strategies according to their preferences. However, the relationship between the two is complex, as it is also influenced by other factors such as prior learning experiences, motivation levels, and the surrounding learning environment. In conclusion, metacognitive ability plays a significant role in helping students understand and optimize their respective learning styles. Nevertheless, although metacognitive ability may assist in understanding and applying students’ learning styles, the relationship between the two is not always linear or proportional. Therefore, a holistic understanding of the student learning process requires an in-depth comprehension of both aspects
Hubungan antara Sympathetic Hyperarousal dan Stres Akademik pada Mahasiswa
Get PDFSympathetic hyper-arousal is a condition of excessive activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis caused by prolonged stress exposure. Academic stress among university students is a prominent form of psycho-social stress that can disrupt the autonomic nervous system balance and induce physiological and psychological dysfunctions. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and cortisol levels are widely used objective biomarkers to assess neural and hormonal responses to stress. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between academic stress and sympathetic hyper-arousal in university students through a systematic review and meta-analysis of HRV parameters and cortisol levels. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, literature searches were conducted in PubMed using relevant keywords. Studies meeting inclusion criteria were quantitatively analyzed using RevMan 5.4 under a random-effects model. Quality was assessed with the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS), and bias and sensitivity analyses were performed to ensure validity. Of 387 identified articles, four studies involving 520 students aged 18–25 years met inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis revealed a significant decrease in HRV during academic stress (Hedges’ g = –0.61; 95% CI –0.94 to –0.28; p < 0.01; I² = 42%) and a significant increase in cortisol levels (Hedges’ g = 0.47; 95% CI 0.19–0.75; p = 0.003; I² = 26%). All studies used the Perceived Stress Scale to assess subjective stress, and study quality was good (NOS 7–9). Academic stress correlates with increased sympathetic activity and decreased parasympathetic regulation, indicated by reduced HRV and elevated cortisol. These findings highlight sympathetic hyper-arousal under academic stress and support the use of physiological stress management approaches such as mindfulness and HRV biofeedback in higher education
Pengaruh Puasa Ramadhan terhadap Kadar Neuropeptida Y pada Remaja Obesitas dan Overweight
Get PDFObesitas pada remaja merupakan masalah kesehatan yang semakin meningkat, dengan dampak serius terhadap metabolisme dan risiko penyakit kronis. Puasa Ramadan diketahui dapat mempengaruhi pola makan dan metabolisme energi, tetapi pengaruhnya terhadap kadar Neuropeptida Y (NPY) sebagai regulator nafsu makan masih belum banyak diteliti, terutama pada remaja obesitas dan overweight di Kota Palembang. Penelitian ini merupakan studi observasional kohort yang melibatkan 80 remaja laki-laki obesitas dan overweight yang melakukan puasa dan kelompok kontrol yang tidak puasa. Pengukuran kadar NPY dilakukan sebelum dan setelah puasa Ramadan menggunakan metode ELISA, sementara nafsu makan subjektif diukur dengan kuesioner Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (AEBQ). Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji statistik univariat dan bivariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa puasa Ramadan secara signifikan meningkatkan food avoidance dan menurunkan food approach pada kelompok obesitas dan overweight (p0,05). Simpulan yang didapat adalah puasa ramadan memiliki efek signifikan terhadap pola nafsu makan subjektif pada remaja obesitas dan overweight, tetapi tidak secara signifikan mempengaruhi kadar NPY. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa puasa Ramadan dapat menjadi intervensi awal yang baik dalam mengubah kebiasaan makan, meskipun mekanisme molekuler yang mendasari efek ini memerlukan penelitian lebih lanjut
TRANSFORMING WRITING INSTRUCTION: ENGAGING AND ACCESSIBLE STRATEGIES FOR UNIVERSITY-LEVEL BEGINNERS
Get PDFThis study aims to explore and analyze engaging and easily accessible writing instruction strategies for beginner university students. Writing skills pose particular challenges for students, especially when faced with academic demands and the use of a foreign language. Conventional, monotonous teaching methods often fail to overcome psychological barriers such as anxiety and lack of motivation in writing. Through a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study of students at STIES Mitra Karya, this research identifies that interest-based strategies, the use of simple visual media, and student collaboration can enhance both motivation and writing quality. The analysis results reveal significant improvements in paragraph structure, sentence transitions, vocabulary, grammar, and writing length after implementing the new strategies. Students also demonstrate a more positive attitude toward writing activities. This study emphasizes the importance of transforming writing instruction into a fun and inclusive learning process, as well as the critical facilitative role of instructors in creating a supportive learning environment
