Political coalitions in Indonesia’s governmental system play a crucial role in shaping policy direction and ensuring governmental stability. The background of this research stems from the reality that no single party is able to secure an absolute majority, compelling the president to form coalitions in order to gain legislative support. The research problem addressed is how political coalitions influence the president’s independence in decision-making, as well as the strategies that can be applied to maintain such independence. This study employs a normative juridical approach using the statute approach and conceptual approach, with data collection techniques through literature review. The findings reveal that political coalitions are often transactional and pragmatic, which may restrict the president’s maneuverability and blur governmental accountability. Strategies available to the president include exercising constitutional prerogative rights, strengthening the role of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as an external watchdog, and establishing substantive coalitions that involve civil society. The conclusion emphasizes that without clear regulations, political coalitions may weaken the presidential system. Therefore, the recommendations proposed include revising the political party law, implementing transparency mechanisms in coalition agreements, and reinforcing horizontal accountability systems. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more transparent and accountable governance in Indonesia

ABSTRACT Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) can be understood as a higher-level thinking ability that involves critical, logical, and creative thinking processes. This ability is reflected in cognitive activities such as analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The problem underlying this research is the still low level of higher-order thinking skills among students, which may affect their readiness to face various learning challenges in the 21st century. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of applying the mind mapping technique in improving students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design in the form of a nonequivalent control group design. The population of this study consisted of 239 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 8 Mataram in the 2022/2023 academic year. The sample in this study consisted of 68 students, including 34 students in the experimental class and 34 students in the control class. The sample was determined using the simple random sampling technique. Data collection in this study used questionnaires as the main method, while observation, interviews, and documentation were used as supporting methods. Data analysis was conducted using the t-test to identify differences in HOTS abilities between the two groups. The results of the data analysis showed that the calculated tvalue (tcount) of 6.485 was greater than the ttable value at the 5% significance level, which was 2.262 (6.485 > 2.262). Therefore, H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the application of the mind mapping technique is proven to be effective in significantly improving the Higher Order Thinking Skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 8 Mataram in the 2022/2023 academic year.

Let \(n\) be a positive integer and let \(\mathbb{Z}_n\) denote the ring of integers modulo \(\mathbb{Z}_n\). We introduce the order GCD graph \(\Theta_{\mathbb{Z}_n}\), whose vertex set is \(\mathbb{Z}_n\), where two distinct vertices \(a\) and \(b\) are adjacent if and only if \(gcd(|a|,|b|)=|a \cdot b|\), with \(|a|\) denoting the multiplicative order of \(a\) in \(\mathbb{Z}_n\). We investigate fundamental structural properties of \(\Theta_{\mathbb{Z}_n}\), including a spectral analysis of the graph by studying the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix and their relationship to the arithmetic structure of \(\mathbb{Z}_n\). Several illustrative examples are provided to highlight the interplay between number-theoretic properties of \(n\) and the spectral characteristics of \(\Theta_{\mathbb{Z}_n}\).

This study aims to describe students' visual–spatial intelligence in solving three-dimensional geometry problems based on van Hiele’s levels of geometric thinking. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The subjects of this study were Grade XII science students of SMA Negeri 2 Labuapi. Data were collected through a van Hiele geometric thinking level test, a visual–spatial intelligence test, and interviews. The van Hiele test was administered to 21 students to classify their geometric thinking levels. The results showed that 16 students were at level 0, 3 students at level 1, and 2 students at level 2. Two students from each level were then selected as interview subjects. The findings indicate that students at level 0 did not fulfill the characteristics of visual–spatial intelligence. Students at level 1 fulfilled spatial perception, visualization, and spatial relation, while students at level 2 fulfilled spatial perception, visualization, spatial relation, and mental rotation. These results indicate that higher van Hiele thinking levels are associated with better visual–spatial intelligence in solving three-dimensional geometry problems.

This study investigates the health levels of Core Capital 4 banks during the COVID-19 pandemic by employing methods that focus on credit risk and profitability. Designed as a comparative analysis, the research examines differences in the financial health of these banks prior to and throughout the pandemic. The study population consists of 46 banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with a purposive sampling technique applied to select four banks that meet specific criteria relevant to the study’s objectives. The analysis relies on secondary data, specifically annual financial statements published by each of the selected banks. The collected data were processed using descriptive statistical methods to provide an overview of the key financial indicators. Furthermore, the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was employed to examine credit and capital risk indicators, revealing significant differences in the health levels of core capital 4 banks when comparing the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. Previous studies have examined bank health in the context of mergers, Islamic banking, or comparisons with conventional banks, but few have focused on core capital 4 banks as Indonesia’s largest group. Limited research has highlighted how these large-capital banks were specifically affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study addresses that gap by comparing their credit risk and profitability before and during the crisis.

This study aims to analyze the effect of firm size, profitability, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the implementation of good corporate governance (GCG) in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020–2023. The method used is a quantitative approach with secondary data analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that only the Firm Size variable has a significant effect on GCG, but with a negative direction. Meanwhile, the variables of profitability and CSR did not have a significant effect on the implementation of GCG. These findings indicate that the internal factors studied do not fully explain the variation in GCG implementation in the mining sector

Aims: To evaluate the synergistic effects of cattle manure and mycorrhizal inoculation on the growth, yield, and soil biological activity of sweet corn grown in sandy soils. Study Design: The study was conducted following a Randomized Block Design (RBD). Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in Moncok Village, Ampenan District, Mataram City, Indonesia, from February to July 2025. Methodology: This study evaluated the effects of five treatments combining cattle manure and mycorrhizal inoculation as follows: P0, control (without cattle manure or mycorrhiza); P1, cattle manure at 10 t ha⁻¹ without mycorrhiza; P2, mycorrhiza at 3 t ha⁻¹ without cattle manure; P3, a combination of cattle manure at 5 t ha⁻¹ and mycorrhiza at 1.5 t ha⁻¹; and P4, a combination of cattle manure at 10 t ha⁻¹ and mycorrhiza at 3 t ha⁻¹. The measured parameters included plant height, number of leaves, fresh and dry ear weight per plant, fresh ear weight per plot, fresh and dry biomass weight per plot, as well as mycorrhizal spore density and root colonization. Results: The combined application of cattle manure and mycorrhizal biofertilizer (P4) resulted in a significant increase (P < 0.05) in ear weight and plant biomass compared with other treatments. From a biological perspective, this treatment also significantly enhanced mycorrhizal spore populations and root colonization levels, indicating the establishment of an optimal symbiotic relationship between mycorrhiza and the host plant. Conclusion: The combination of cattle manure at 10 t ha⁻¹ and mycorrhiza at 3 t ha⁻¹ had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on increasing plant growth, yield, and mycorrhizal activity of sweet corn grown in sandy soil.
