Machine learning approach to uncover customer plastic bag usage patterns in a grocery store

Plastic bags are used by many people because they are inexpensive, lightweight, durable, and waterproof. Plastic bags, on the other hand, do not break down and can pollute the environment if not handled properly. Indonesia produces a lot of plastic waste and is one of the top ten countries that has a problem with plastic waste. In this study, we used three months of data of real transactions from a grocery store. This study shows how the decision tree can identify patterns on plastic bag usage at a small grocery store by using demography and products purchase. The attribute weights showed that in the hometown, the total of several products bought were the factors that affected the use of plastic bags

The Impact of AI-Driven Educational Simulations and Ideation With AI on Technopreneurship Education Learning Objectives: The Integration of ChatGPT in Education

This research analyzes the effects of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly ChatGPT for AI-DES (AI-Driven Educational Simulations) and Ideation with AI (Artificial Intelligence), on the learning outcomes of a technopreneurship course taught at a university in Bandung.

The ChatGPT Impact on Education: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Review

This bibliometric study involves 241 articles about ChatGPT within education, revealing a robust study field with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 23,900% and a high level of international collaboration (18.67%). The results also show that leading countries contribute distinct insights. Five unique study clusters emerged from co-occurrence analysis, concentrating on the development, role, and practical impact of ChatGPT. The multidisciplinary scope of the research highlights ChatGPT’s broad applicability from transformations to ethical dilemmas. Sentiment analysis also showed that teaching is essential, especially in higher education and medicine. The limitations of this study are concentrated on specific databases. Future research suggests adding more databases, the ethical, and pedagogical implications

Assessing Critical Thinking Skills and Creativity Skills of Higher Education Students by Using ASSURE Models

This study aims to assess the students critical thinking skills and creative thinking skills progress by using the ASSURE learning model to implement problem-based learning for second-grade college students. The method of this study is an action research model that identifies the learning process activities start from planning, acting, observing, and reflecting process. This study supports the previous research that ASSURE Models can increase critical and creative thinking skills. Results showed that 53% of critical thinking skills students in the category had satisfactory and outstanding results. For creative thinking, 46% of students in the category had satisfactory and outstanding results

Sustainable resilience strategy: unleash the micro-businesses’s potential in the digitalization and sustainability era

AbstractThis research aims to (1) build and predict a sustainable business model to support micro-business in developing its potential in facing the challenges of the dual transition era (digitalization and sustainability); (2) explore opportunities and challenges for sustainable business models in the creative craft, fashion, food and beverage industry sectors. This research used a mixed methods approach on 381 micro and small businesses in Indonesia, utilizing an explanatory sequential design. The study revealed that aligning internal resources with responsive strategies can form sustainable resilience strategies (SRS) that are reflected in survival, continuity, reorientation, and synergy. These SRS strategies significantly impact micro-businesses in meeting the challenges of adopting digital technology in their business operations. Moreover, to meet the challenges of a sustainable business model, micro-businesses must have a high orientation to achieving sustainable development goals first, then SRS can mediate them so that sustainable business practices are realized, which have a lasting impact on sustainable business performance. Overall, This study recommends that micro-businesses adopt a sustainable resilience strategy and campaign the SDG agenda through digital technology adoption. This research provides practical insights for micro-businesses in exploring sustainable business opportunities and challenges. It also benefits stakeholders such as industry, universities, science and technology parks as an integrated innovation platform, and the government in shaping policies and regulations related to digitalization and sustainability. Resilience has been previously studied as an input, process, or outcome. This study has discovered resilience as a sustainable strategy for micro-businesses, which is the novelty of this study
