Application of log-linear models in analysis of students' mathematics anxiety

A log-linear modeling for three-dimensional contingency tables is used with categorical variables. In this study, hierarchical log-linear models are used to fit the observed frequencies and to determine the suitable model for the expected frequencies of pre-university students? mathematics anxiety data. For this reason, 546 students were selected to complete mathematics anxiety scale questionnaire. Data on gender, course, grade and level of mathematics anxiety were examined for presence of association using log-linear models. Estimating log-linear model parameters is carried out using Maximum Likelihood method, where the Newton-Raphson iteration method is used to find the numerical estimates of the parameters. Selection of the best model is conducted using deviance of the models. The significance of the model is determined using Goodness of Fit Test. We also determine the odds ratio between gender, course, Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Additional Mathematics grade and anxiety level to establish the risk among the groups. The final model shows that gender, course and SPM Additional Mathematics score play a role in determining the students' level of mathematics anxiety

Spatial Distribution of Planktonic Dinoflagellate in Makassar Waters, South Sulawesi

The objectives of this study were to determine the harmful species of dinoflagellates, to determine the concentration of nutriens in surface waters, and to analyze factors affecting the ecological aspects of the harmful dinoflagellates. The results showed that there were 7 genus of dinoflagellates found in this study i.e., Ceratium spp., Gymnodinium sp., Dinophysis sp., Gonyaulax sp., Noctiluca sp., Protoperi-dinium spp., and Peridinium sp. Protoperidinium spp. and Ceratium spp. were the predominant species, with their abundance ranged of 9-659 cells/L and 6-556 cells/L, respectively. In temporal scale, values of DO and water light penetration were not significantly different (α>0.05), while for the parameter of nutriens, salinity, and abundance were significantly different (α<0.05). Total abundance of dinoflagellates was significantly correlated with nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate, salinity, and DO. Harmful dinoflagellate species such as Dinophysis sp. (DSP), Gymnodinium spp. (NSP and PSP), Noctiluca sp. (anaerobic), and Gonyaulax sp. (anaerobic) were observed in the study area. The high concentration of ammonia (>1 mg/L) in the waters of Losari beach also indicated that the area was affected by anthropogenic activities. Minimizing nutrient inputs from the land was becoming the most priority measure to be done to avoid such effects related to dinoflagellate harmful algae bloms

Problematika Hukum dan Ideologi Islam Radikal [Studi Bom Bunuh Diri Surabaya]

Radicalism in Islam is part of a socio-religious phenomenon that cannot be separated from many aspects. Besides economic and political interests, Radicalism in Islam can also be seen from the legal and ideological aspects. The law forms ideology, and the culmination of it is extremist action, including terrorism. Suicide bombings in Surabaya (2018) are part of the chain of  extremist action and terrorism. Understanding bombing cases like in Surabaya, is not enough to be seen from the outward aspects only but also the basic foundation for forming the awareness of the perpetrators. This paper uses the theory of social action from Pierre F. Bourdieu, to read how values are internalized into oneself and then externalized into suicides, as well as to map the domains and capital owned. This socio-political research proves that acts of terror, including suicide bombings, are actualizations of complex ideological symbolism. Therefore, terrorism is part of space competition, both the space for religious interpretation, the physical space for action, and the human space for image and evaluation. The justification of terrorism is supported by a set of legal and theological arguments, as well as terrorism action also have legal and theological tool

TA : Penentuan Starting Line Up Dalam Pertandingan Sepak Bola di Persebaya Dengan Menggunakan Metode AHP

Sepak bola merupakan olah raga terpopuler di dunia saat ini, tak terkecuali di Indonesia. Melihat perkembangan dan besarnya minat pada cabang olah raga ini, maka tak mengherankan bila terjadi jual-beli pemain dan pelatih. Tetapi pemecatan terhadap pelatih banyak diakibatkan karena kesalahannya dalam menentukan daftar pemain yang diturunkan dalam pertandingan sepak bola. Oleh karena itu, setelah mempelajari game manajerial 2000 dan melakukan wawancara dengan pelatih Persebaya bapak Jacksen F. Tiago, maka penulis menemukan suatu permasalahan dalam bidang sepak bola, yaitu bagaimana menentukan starting line up (daftar pemain utama yang diturunkan dalam suatu pertandingan sepak bola). Mengacu pada permasalahan diatas, maka penulis mencoba untuk membuat suatu aplikasi yang dapat menentukan starting line up dalam pertandingan sepak bola di Persebaya dengan menggunakan metode Analythic Hierarchy Process (AHP), yaitu dengan membandingkan faktor yang satu dengan yang lain yang direpresentasikan melalui nilai bobot yang dihasilkan. Faktor-faktor yang dibandingkan meliputi faktor teknis, faktor mental, dan faktor non teknis. Komponen-komponen yang digunakan dalam proses penentuan starting line up meliputi data pemain, data nilai latihan, data nilai pertandingan dan data pembobotan proses hirarki. Kemudian pemain yang terseleksi akan digunakan untuk mengisi skema pertandingan yang telah ditentukan oleh pelatih. Dengan adanya aplikasi penentuan starting line up ini diharapkan dapat membantu pengambilan keputusan bagi pelatih sepak bola Persebaya dalam pemilihan calon-calon pemain yang berkualitas dalam masing-masing posisinya dan juga diharapkan dapat membawa dampak yang positif didalam peningkatan prestasi klub. Bagi pembaca diharapkan dapat mengembangkan aplikasi ini dengan cara membuat elemen-elemen atau faktor-faktor yang dibandingkan bersifat lebih dinamis, karena dalam aplikasi ini masih banyak hal-hal yang bersifat statis
