INVESTIGATES HOW INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION INFLUENCE PARTICIPATION IN MATHEMATICS EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN BEIJING'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
No full textAI assistance and rewards (extrinsic motivation), predict participation in MEAs As mathematics remains a foundational component of STEM education, encouraging early participation in mathematics extracurricular activities (MEAs) is increasingly seen as a strategy to deepen interest and strengthen skills outside of the formal classroom. This study investigates the predictive roles of intrinsic motivation (e.g., enjoyment, curiosity, and pride in math) and extrinsic motivation (e.g., parental encouragement, rewards, and recognition) in shaping participation in MEAs among elementary students in Beijing’s Chaoyang District. Guided by Self-Determination Theory and Expectancy-Value Theory, the research employed a quantitative approach involving 200 students aged 9–13 from five public elementary schools. Data were collected using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire, and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Results revealed that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were strongly and positively correlated with participation in MEAs. However, multiple regression analysis showed that extrinsic motivation was the stronger and statistically significant predictor, while the effect of intrinsic motivation was weaker and not significant when both variables were analyzed together. These findings suggest that, within this population, external support mechanisms such as rewards, competitions, and adult encouragement play a more influential role than internal interest in driving participation. The study highlights the importance of leveraging extrinsic motivators to promote involvement in math ECAs during early education, while gradually nurturing intrinsic interest to support long-term mathematical development
Chitosan as a Bone Graft Biomaterial Enhances Osteogenesis after Tooth Extraction: A Systematic Literature Review
No full textTooth extraction often results in changes to the dimensions of the alveolar ridge due to resorption, which can affect the stability and comfort of dental prostheses. Socket preservation efforts are crucial for preventing bone resorption and supporting the regeneration of both soft and hard tissues. Chitosan, a biomaterial derived from crustacean exoskeletons, has shown potential as a scaffold and graft material for bone regeneration. With its biocompatible, biodegradable, and antibacterial properties, chitosan supports osteogenesis through its osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic capabilities. Additionally, the cationic nature of chitosan allows interaction with bacterial cell membranes, preventing infection and facilitating the transformation of macrophages from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory types. This systematic literature review evaluates the benefits of chitosan in bone regeneration after tooth extraction. The study employed a PRISMA flow diagram to select relevant literature, resulting in 15 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that chitosan significantly enhances osteoblast activity, accelerates new bone formation, and supports bone healing during the inflammatory, reparative, and remodeling phases without toxicity or risk of disease transmission. Thus, chitosan presents an innovative solution for bone regeneration in clinical dental practice. This study demonstrates that chitosan is an effective natural material for supporting bone healing after tooth extraction. It helps increase bone cell activity, speeds up new bone growth, and prevents infection. These findings support the use of chitosan as a safe and promising option for improving dental bone regeneration
INTEGRATION OF TRADITIONAL GAMES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING AT PAUD INSTITUTIONS
No full textTraditional games, as cultural heritage, contain noble values and have great potential to support the early childhood learning process. Early childhood education prioritizes learning through-play methods as this approach aligns with children's natural tendency to play. Through play, children acquire and process new information while honing their existing skills. This study discusses the importance of integrating traditional games for early childhood in PAUD institutions. Traditional games serve not only as entertainment but also as an effective learning method to holistically develop various aspects of child development. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines the implementation of traditional games in PAUD institutions and their benefits for early childhood development. The findings reveal that games such as Congklak, Engklek, and Lompat Tali are effective in stimulating integrated development across cognitive, motoric, social-emotional, and language domains. Furthermore, the study observed that these games foster cooperation, turn-taking, emotional regulation, and the cultivation of moral values like honesty and respect, while also strengthening children's cultural identity. In conclusion, this study affirms that traditional games are potent, culturally-grounded pedagogical tools. Therefore, it is recommended that PAUD institutions apply this in their teaching and learning process

The research finds that technology has made the educational path more creative and interactive. It helped the students to think and practice beyond the bookish knowledge. Teachers must be trained in the use of technology. It must be used wisely so that it does not hurt the learning process of students. Educational leaders must be digitally empowered to foster the learning process. Pedagogical creativity has been suggested at the end of this study, which helped the future students as well as teachers for enhancing the culture of learning
Achievements of The Pre-Marital Screening Program at The Denpasar Barat I Public Health Center
No full textThe prospective bride and groom are strategic targets for health improvement during the preconception period. Public awareness of preconception health is still low. Counseling, information, and education are highly needed by prospective brides and grooms, especially as they prepare for a healthy pregnancy. The research method was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews using a structured interview guide. The data was validated using data triangulation. Based on input indicators, the administrative staff needed includes midwives, doctors, laboratory analysts, health promotion personnel, and village heads/village staff. HRM competencies include knowledge, the premarital screening process, SOPs, and screening fees. The performance of program implementers is evaluated by the reproductive health program holders, cluster 2 managers, coordinating midwives, and health center heads. The source of funds comes from the State Budget and Regional Budgets, including the implementation of the premarital screening program. The target group is very supportive of the screening program. Based on process indicators, there are no supervision procedures yet. The planning SOP is approved by the head of the health center. The organization follows the SOP, which aligns with the work program in Cluster 2. The coverage of the premarital screening program is measured through reporting from the Kescatin application. Based on output indicators, whether the premarital screening program requirements have been met or not is only assessed based on the health certificates issued by the Puskesmas for the prospective bride and groom. It is hoped that the Puskesmas (Community Health Centers) will need to improve the quality of the premarital screening program by arranging a strategic plan to enhance the performance of program implementers and facilities and by collaborating with various sectors to achieve the set targets and goals

PENGARUH PROFITABILITAS, LEVERAGE, FREE CASH FLOW, LIKUIDITAS DAN UKURAN PERUSAHAAN TERHADAP KEBIJAKAN DIVIDEN
No full textDistribusi laba tidak sekadar persoalan teknis pembagian keuntungan, melainkan cerminan preferensi manajerial dalam menyeimbangkan kepentingan pemegang saham dan kebutuhan pembiayaan internal. Pada sejumlah bank yang tercatat di Bursa Efek Indonesia sepanjang 2022–2024, ekspansi laba dan aset ternyata tidak selalu diterjemahkan menjadi peningkatan dividen. Ketegangan antara kinerja akuntansi dan kebijakan distribusi laba tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa keputusan dividen tidak sepenuhnya digerakkan oleh capaian finansial jangka pendek. Bagi investor, kondisi ini menjadi krusial karena dividen berfungsi sebagai representasi kredibilitas manajemen sekaligus proyeksi keberlanjutan usaha. Dengan memanfaatkan data 18 perusahaan perbankan yang memenuhi kriteria seleksi selama periode pengamatan, hubungan antara karakteristik keuangan dan kebijakan dividen diuji melalui regresi linier berganda. Temuan empiris memperlihatkan bahwa kemampuan menghasilkan laba dan ketersediaan arus kas bebas berperan dominan dalam mendorong pembayaran dividen, sementara struktur pendanaan, tingkat likuiditas, dan skala perusahaan tidak menunjukkan peran yang menentukan. Keterbatasan ruang lingkup tersebut membuka peluang bagi kajian lanjutan untuk melibatkan spektrum emiten yang lebih luas serta memasukkan dimensi peluang investasi, tata kelola, dan tanggung jawab sosial guna memperoleh gambaran yang lebih utuh
