The Digital Collaboration Theory, developed by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad in 2022, arises from the rapid advancement of digital technology and its impact on collaboration methods. In this digital age, collaboration is no longer confined by geographical or physical boundaries. Technology enables individuals and organizations to work together more efficiently and effectively, regardless of their location. This evolution necessitates a theory to explain and guide collaborative practices in the digital realm. Digital Collaboration Theory defines digital collaboration as the process of working together among individuals or groups through digital platforms to achieve common goals. The core concept of this theory is that digital technology facilitates communication, coordination, and collaboration in unprecedented ways, encompassing tools like email, video conferencing, project management platforms, and social media.
This theory is based on the increasing use of digital technology across various aspects of life, including work, education, and social interactions. This phenomenon includes the rapid adoption of digital tools in workplaces, remote learning, and enhanced global connectivity, creating an environment where digital collaboration becomes increasingly crucial and prevalent. The working principles of Digital Collaboration Theory involve utilizing technology to enhance cooperative effectiveness. This includes selecting appropriate tools for communication and project management, establishing norms and standards for digital interactions, and developing necessary digital skills. These principles also emphasize the importance of building trust and interpersonal relationships even through digital platforms.
Key indicators of this theory include the level of digital technology use in collaboration, the effectiveness of digital communication, and team satisfaction with the digital tools used. Additionally, project success and the achievement of common goals are significant indicators. The operational variables of Digital Collaboration Theory encompass the use of digital collaboration tools, the frequency and quality of digital interactions, and team performance outcomes measured by project success and team member satisfaction. These variables can be assessed through surveys, analysis of digital tool usage data, and team performance evaluations.
Digital Collaboration Theory can be applied in various fields such as Human Resource Management (HRM), Psychology, Education, and Social Communication. In HRM, it assists in designing and managing teams that work remotely or in hybrid settings. In psychology, it helps understand group dynamics in digital contexts. In education, it supports collaborative learning through digital platforms. In social communication, it guides effective communication strategies in digital environments.
The success of applying this theory depends on several factors, including individual digital skills, adequate technological infrastructure, and an organizational culture that supports digital collaboration. Additionally, managerial support and sufficient training are crucial determinants. Implementing this theory requires a structured approach, starting with assessing technological needs, selecting appropriate digital tools, and training to enhance digital skills. Effective strategies include developing technology usage guidelines, fostering a collaborative culture, and providing ongoing technical support.
Challenges in applying this theory include resistance to new technology, digital skill gaps, and data security issues. However, management support, investment in technological infrastructure, and continuous training can be significant supportive factors. In conclusion, Digital Collaboration Theory emphasizes the importance of using digital technology to enhance teamwork and effectiveness in an increasingly connected work environment. This theory provides a framework for understanding and optimizing digital collaboration, which can improve performance and innovation across various fields. With proper implementation, this theory can help individuals and organizations adapt and thrive in the digital era.

The Agile Mindset Theory, introduced by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad in 2022, emerged from the urgent need for adaptability and flexibility amid an increasingly dynamic business environment. In an era where changes occur rapidly and often unpredictably, having an agile mindset is crucial for individuals and organizations. Rachmad developed this theory to provide a framework that aids in cultivating a responsive and innovative mindset. Agile Mindset Theory defines an agile mindset as the ability to quickly and effectively adapt to changes, continuously learn, and innovate. The core concept of this theory is that possessing an agile mindset allows individuals and organizations to remain competitive and relevant when facing new challenges and opportunities. The theory emphasizes the importance of openness to change, continuous learning, and collaboration.
This theory is based on the phenomenon of rapid changes in technology, markets, and social dynamics that influence how we work and conduct business. These changes highlight that traditional, rigid approaches are no longer sufficient. Instead, a mindset capable of quickly adapting to respond to changes and anticipate future needs is required. The working principles of Agile Mindset Theory involve developing a proactive attitude, openness to feedback, and a commitment to continuous learning. This includes the ability to think creatively and critically and work collaboratively with teams. The principles also stress the importance of flexibility in planning and execution, allowing quick adaptation to changing conditions.

These variables can be assessed through surveys, performance evaluations, and analysis of work results. This data provides insight into how well individuals and organizations adopt and implement an agile mindset.
Agile Mindset Theory can be applied in various fields such as Human Resource Management (HRM), Psychology, Education, and Social Communication. In HRM, this theory helps develop training programs that encourage employee flexibility and innovation. In psychology, it aids in understanding the dynamics of behavioral change and adaptation. In education, it supports the development of curricula that promote critical and adaptive thinking in students. In social communication, it guides strategies for responding to changes in communication patterns and social interactions.
The success of applying this theory depends on several factors, including management support, an organizational culture that fosters innovation and change, and the availability of resources for training and development. Additionally, active participation of individuals in the learning and adaptation process is crucial. Commitment to constructive feedback and a collaborative work environment also play essential roles. Implementing this theory requires a structured and ongoing approach. This includes an initial assessment of organizational conditions and needs, the development of training programs that promote an agile mindset, and continuous evaluation to assess progress and effectiveness. Effective strategies include building a culture that supports change and innovation, providing access to necessary resources, and encouraging open communication and team collaboration.
Challenges in applying this theory include resistance to change, limited resources, and a lack of awareness about the importance of an agile mindset. However, with strong management support, a positive organizational culture, and continuous education, these challenges can be overcome. Support from leadership and active involvement from all organizational members are vital for the successful application of this theory.
In conclusion, Agile Mindset Theory emphasizes the importance of having an agile and adaptive mindset in facing an ever-changing environment. This theory provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and developing an agile mindset across various fields.

"Beyond the Lunch Bell: Extending Prabowo Gibran's Vision for School Nutrition," authored by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad and published in 2024 by International Book Publishing of Energy Economics and Policy, Mersin Special, delves into the innovative and transformative approach to school nutrition under Prabowo Gibran's leadership. This book evaluates the comprehensive strategies and programs implemented to enhance the nutritional intake of schoolchildren across Indonesia, looking at the broader implications for public health and educational outcomes.
Background and Motivation The book begins by contextualizing the need for improved school nutrition programs within Indonesia’s broader health and educational goals. It explores how Prabowo Gibran’s administration recognized the direct link between nutritional status and student performance, attendance, and overall well-being, setting the stage for a national overhaul of school meal programs.
Basic Definitions and Concepts School nutrition programs are defined as initiatives designed to provide healthy, balanced meals to students during school hours. The book focuses on the expansion of these programs beyond just lunch to include breakfasts and snacks, ensuring that children receive consistent nutritional support throughout the school day.
Phenomena Underlying the Book The push for enhanced school nutrition is situated within global movements towards improving child health and educational equity. The book discusses how nutritional disparities can affect long-term educational outcomes and social inequality, positioning Indonesia’s efforts within an international context of addressing child health and education.
Problem Formulation The central challenge addressed is the operational and financial sustainability of scaling up school nutrition programs nationwide, especially in remote and underserved regions. It also examines the logistical complexities of sourcing and distributing quality food ingredients across diverse geographical areas.
Research Objectives The research aims to assess the implementation effectiveness of these nutrition programs, measure their impact on student health and learning, and identify best practices and areas needing improvement.
Indicators Indicators used to evaluate the success of the programs include nutritional quality of meals served, student health improvements, rates of program adoption across schools, and feedback from educators and parents.
Operational Variables Operational variables include the infrastructure for food preparation and delivery, the training of school staff on nutritional standards, and the partnerships with local food suppliers to support menu diversity and freshness.
Determining Factors Factors determining the success of the nutrition initiatives include government funding, community involvement, policy support from educational and health departments, and effective program monitoring and evaluation.
Implementation and Strategy The strategy section details the comprehensive approach taken to embed nutrition programs in schools, including policy formulation, stakeholder engagement, and the integration of nutrition education into the school curriculum.
Challenges, Enablers, and Inhibitors Challenges such as budget constraints, dietary preferences, and regional disparities in food availability are discussed. Enablers include strong political will, public-private partnerships, and international support from child health and education organizations. Inhibitors might involve resistance from local bureaucracies or logistical difficulties in remote areas.
Research Findings Findings indicate that while there has been significant progress in program coverage and student health outcomes, ongoing challenges remain in ensuring consistency and quality across all regions.
Conclusion and Recommendations The book concludes by highlighting the importance of sustaining and expanding these nutrition programs to continue improving health and educational outcomes. Recommendations focus on increasing funding, enhancing public awareness, and continually adapting the programs based on scientific research and feedback.

MarxistLLM: Fine-tuning a language model with a Marxist worldview
No full textTheoretical perspectives, such as rational choice theory, Marxist theory, and feminist theory, provide a defined worldview (Weltanschauung) that guides researchers' analytical and interpretive processes.
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in using language models to examine social aspects through social science lenses.
However, critical computing scholars have shown that models embody specific societal values and perspectives.
This inherent encoding of viewpoints means that when these models are employed in research, scholars might not reflect the worldview or use theoretical perspectives.
To address this issue, our study explores the possibility of fine-tuning large language models with a specific Weltanschauung.
Specifically, we incorporate the writings of Marx and Engels to fine-tune these models, aiming to infuse them with Marxist ideological terminology and worldview.
We evaluate how these fine-tuned models differ in empirical analysis.
This investigation underscores the importance of aligning theoretical perspectives with computational tools to enhance the social sciences
The Development of PRITEM Reporting Guideline for Mapping Reviews
No full textMapping reviews and Evidence Gap Maps (MR/EGM) have gained significant attention as a method for synthesizing evidence. These products aim to identify areas where evidence is adequate and where gaps exist, guiding decision-making and setting future research priorities. However, there are notable differences in terminology, reporting formats, and content across various fields, organizations, and authors. The PRITEM (Preferred Reporting Items for Mapping Reviews) project aims to address these discrepancies and promote standardized reporting. The PRITEM is being developed collaboratively by researchers from institutions including Lanzhou University, China; University of Ottawa, Canada; Campbell Collaboration; JBI; Pan-African Collective for Evidence (PACE), South Africa; Global Development Network; and Newcastle University, UK. The PRITEM project was registered with the EQUATOR Network in December 2022 (https://www.equator-network.org/library/reporting-guidelines-under-development/reporting-guidelines-under-development-for-systematic-reviews/#PRITEM).
The PRITEM project will adhere to the 'Guidance for developers of health research reporting guidelines' in developing its reporting guideline. A multi-stage approach will be adopted, which includes identifying the need of the checklist, obtaining funding and registering the protocol, establishing PRITEM working groups, reviewing the literature, conducting a Delphi process, holding a consensus meeting, and disseminating the findings. We will establish a multidisciplinary international team of experts to develop the guideline. Based on the results of scoping reviews of relevant literature, we will conduct surveys with international experts and reach a consensus to determine the final checklist. The PRITEM guidance on mapping reviews will serve as a valuable resource for developers of mapping reviews, thus enhancing the overall reporting quality. It will better promote the implementation of available evidence and guide future research priorities, ultimately reducing the waste of research resources.
Recent progress: As of January 2025, we have completed the development of the reporting guidelines and are currently in the process of drafting the report. We look forward to its publication
Health and medical researchers are willing to trade their results for journal prestige: results from a discrete choice experiment
No full textThe research community's fixation on journal prestige is harming research quality, as some researchers focus on where to publish instead of what. We examined researchers' publication preferences using a discrete choice experiment in a cross-sectional survey of international health and medical researchers. We asked researchers to consider two hypothetical journals and decide which they would prefer. The hypothetical journals varied in their impact factor, formatting requirements, speed of peer review, helpfulness of peer review, editor's request to cut results, and whether the paper would be useful for their next promotion. These attributes were designed using focus groups and interviews with researchers, with the aim of creating a tension between personal and societal benefit. Our survey found that researchers' strongest preference was for the highest impact factor, and the second strongest for a moderate impact factor. The least important attribute was a preference for making changes in format and wording compared with cutting results. Some respondents were willing to cut results in exchange for a higher impact factor. Despite international efforts to reduce the importance of impact factor, it remains a driver of researchers' behaviour. The most prestigious journals may have the most partial evidence, as researchers are willing to trade their results for prestige
