This paper explores how an adaptive Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based mathematics platform is experienced by a group of learners who are often overlooked—students who learn at a slower pace. Using a qualitative usability approach, the study does not aim to produce broad generalizations. Instead, it provides an “existence proof”, showing how certain design choices can unintentionally create barriers to learning. Rather than presenting sweeping conclusions, the study offers a detailed look at where and how interactions with the platform break down, giving a nuanced picture of the challenges slow learners may face. By placing learners at the center of our study and using think-aloud protocols alongside participant observation, we were able to uncover key design flaws that directly hinder the learning process. Our findings point to two main patterns of failure. The first is what we call a “Frustration–Disengagement Loop”. Here, the platform’s punitive approach to gamification pushes students away from genuine learning. Instead of staying focused on understanding the material, they shift their goals toward simply trying to outmaneuver or bypass the system. The second failure pattern we observed is what we term a “Representational Divide”. While the platform makes effective use of visual aids, it falls short in helping learners make the crucial connection to symbolic understanding. This gap often leaves students with only a surface-level sense of competence, reinforced by procedural hints that mask deeper misunderstandings. To address these issues, we propose a set of evidence-based design heuristics, along with visual redesigns, intended to support more inclusive, effective, and ethically responsible educational technologies.

Economic mobility between urban and rural areas is essential for regional development, particularly in Southeast Sulawesi. This study investigates the relationship between business licensing in the transportation sector, good governance, and public trust in enhancing economic mobility. Specifically, it examines how the ease of business licensing influences public trust (H1) and good governance (H2), and how public trust mediates the relationship between licensing reforms and governance outcomes (H3). Adopting a quantitative approach within a positivist paradigm, data were collected through surveys targeting stakeholders involved in transportation-sector licensing. The analysis utilized Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Squares method (SEM-PLS) to test causal relationships. Results indicate that streamlined business licensing significantly improves public trust, thereby strengthening good governance practices. Furthermore, public trust serves as a mediating factor, linking licensing reforms to improved governance outcomes, underscoring its importance for effective policy implementation. These findings underscore the strategic role of licensing reforms in reducing bureaucratic barriers, enhancing transparency, and fostering public confidence—key drivers for urban-rural economic integration. For policymakers, the study highlights that optimizing licensing processes, strengthening governance, and building trust can facilitate investment, improve transportation infrastructure, and accelerate regional economic connectivity. Future research should examine the broader socio-economic implications of licensing system improvements across different sectors and regions to develop more comprehensive strategies for sustainable regional development.

This study aims to determine the income and feasibility of sago processing business in Andabia Village, Anggaberi District, Konawe Regency. The research was carried out in March 2025 using the purposive sampling method, based on the consideration that the sago processing business has long been the main livelihood of the local community. The sample was taken by census of 13 respondents. Data analysis using revenue model I = TR - TC and business feasibility analysis with an R/C = TR / TC ratio approach. The results of the study show that in one sago processing process, the total revenue reaches IDR 18,000,000, while the total cost is IDR 7,863,269. Thus, the net income obtained by sago processors is IDR 10,136,731. The business feasibility analysis shows an R/C ratio value of 2.29, which means that every expenditure of IDR 1 generates IDR 2.29 in revenue. The R/C value > 1 indicates that the sago processing business in the region is profitable and feasible to be developed. These findings provide a basis for strengthening the local economy through optimizing the sago business as a sustainable source of income. This study also recommends policy support and technical training to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of sago processing businesses in the area.

Rekrutmen politik adalah "taman rahasia" di dalam partai, proses rekrutmen terkadang tidak memperhatikan kualitas kandidat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis rekrutmen politik dari segi kualitas kandidat dalam Pilkada 2017 di Kota Tasikmalaya. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori kualitas kandidat (Jacobson dan Kernell, 2006). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi fenomenologis. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, studi dokumen, dan studi pustaka. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah elit dan kader PAN di Kota Tasikmalaya, kader DPW/DPP PAN, dan pengamat politik di Kota Tasikmalaya. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa calon wakil walikota PAN memiliki kualitas calon yang rendah. Temuan dalam penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa PAN merekrut dengan pola asimetris untuk calon walikota dan wakil walikota di Tasikmalaya. Pola asimetris dilakukan karena tekanan dari pimpinan partai yang dipengaruhi oleh kekuatan finansial kandidat yang besar. Temuan lainnya adalah dampak penerapan pola asimetris dalam rekrutmen oleh partai politik adalah pembagian dukungan kader partai dalam pilkad.

The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of income and the amount of risk of Scallion farming and to describe the behavior of farmers in reducing the risk of onion farming in Konawe Regency. The study was conducted in 2023 at the onion production center in Linonggasay Village, West Wonggeduku District with a total sample of 20 farmers. The analysis used was income analysis and descriptive analysis of the risk level using the variation coefficient (%). The results showed that the average net income was IDR 12,788,000 per planting season. Scallion farming is included in the category of farming with a risk of less than 0.5, namely the use of equipment (0.05), the use of pesticides (0.13), and the use of labor in fertilization (0.32), while the rest have moderate risks, namely harvest labor (0.51), planting labor (0.59), seeds (0.64), fertilizer (0.72), and processing (0.90) and none in the high risk category. Some of the farmer behaviors carried out to reduce risk include: buying seeds from saprodi kiosks, controlling plant pests using chemical fertilizers, using recommended planting distances, utilizing labor from outside the village, and in the event of failure, taking savings to meet family needs.
