Preserving Accuracy while Increasing Novelty: Rank-Aware Evaluation of a Locally Fine-Tuned Hybrid Recommender

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Balancing accuracy and novelty remains a fundamental challenge in modern recommender systems. We present a novelty-aware hybrid recommender that linearly combines ItemKNN, content-based similarity, popularity signals, and lightweight SVD factors. We further introduce a user-specific novelty term derived from popularity and recency to encourage discovery. To avoid overfitting and maintain interpretability, we adopt local fine-tuning around a near-optimal trade-off rather than global re-optimization. First, we conduct a before and after evaluation using rank-aware metrics (NDCG@10, MRR@10, Precision@10, Recall@10). Then, we measure list-level properties such as novelty with respect to popularity, intra-list diversity by genre dissimilarity, and catalog coverage. Finally, we present a separate experiment using Maximal Marginal Relevance (MMR) re-ranking applied to ItemKNN to situate our contributions within classical diversification. On MovieLens-100K dataset, the locally fine-tuned hybrid preserves ranking accuracy while improving novelty and coverage: relative to the best trade-off baseline, NDCG@10 differs by less than 0.2% absolute on validation and test, while novelty increases modestly and coverage rises by approximately 1.7% on the test split. The MMR variant increases intra-list diversity by approximately 2-3 percentage points on validation with only a slight reduction in NDCG, illustrating a well-controlled accuracy diversity trade-off that complements the hybrid approach. These findings show that carefully designed novelty terms and restrained local fine-tuning can yield measurable gains in novelty and coverage without sacrificing ranking quality, while classical diversification provides an additional, orthogonal mechanism to further increase intra-list diversity. We provide transparent, metrics-based evaluation and reporting of novelty, diversity, and catalog coverage.

Data-Driven Social Marketing for Health Education: Predicting Low-Sugar Consumption Intentions with HBM and TPB among Indonesian University Students

Mohammad Haidar Ali, Afizan Amer — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study investigates determinants of university students’ intentions to shift from high-sugar to low-sugar products in Indonesia using an integrated Health Belief Model (HBM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. Excessive sugar intake is a global health concern linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other non-communicable diseases, and Indonesia is projected to face a sharp increase in diabetes prevalence by 2045. A cross-sectional explanatory survey of 150 Hasyim Asy’ari University students was conducted using stratified random sampling and a structured Likert-scale questionnaire measuring perceived benefits, perceived barriers, attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and intention. Data were analyzed with PLS-SEM. All constructs met reliability and validity criteria, and the model explained 54.9% of the variance in attitude and 65.5% in intention. Attitude was the strongest predictor of low-sugar consumption intention, reinforced by perceived benefits and weakened by perceived barriers, while perceived behavioral control also significantly increased intention; subjective norm was not significant. The findings validate the applicability of the integrated HBM–TPB model for healthy consumption behavior in a developing-country context and offer evidence-based directions for social marketing and campus health interventions targeting low-sugar choices among Generation Z students.

Microlearning Content for Digital Zakat Education: Bite-Sized Learning Strategies for the Smartphone Generation

Peni Haryanti — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of microlearning content design in improving digital zakat literacy among the smartphone generation. The background to this research stems from the gap between the national zakat potential of Rp 327 trillion and the current realization around12.5%, partly due to the low public understanding and accessibility of the digital zakat system. Given the characteristics of Generation Z, who tend to prefer short, interactive content that is easily accessible via mobile devices, microlearning is considered an appropriate learning strategy. The study used a mixed methods approach with explanatory sequential design and a Design-Based Research (DBR) framework to develop and test a prototype of microlearning-based zakat education content. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS with 300 quantitative respondents and in-depth interviews with 30 qualitative respondents. The results showed that microlearning design significantly influenced digital zakat literacy (β = 0.612), user engagement (β = 0.348), and behavioral intention (β = 0.187). User engagement served as an important mediator in strengthening the relationship between digital zakat literacy and online zakat payment intention. The tested structural model was able to explain 60.3% of the variance in behavioral intention and 40.2% of the variance in actual digital zakat usage. These findings confirmed that interactive microlearning strategies, such as gamification and personalized content, can increase digital zakat adoption. This study provides theoretical contributions by integrating cognitive load theory, dual-coding theory, and Islamic pedagogy into the context of digital zakat literacy, and provides practical implications for zakat institutions and educational technology developers in designing more effective educational content.

Nila Kencana, Elva Utami, Dewi Sartika, Eka Nurdianty Anwar — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study investigates the pragmatic strategies used by netizens to construct insulting comments across three major social media platforms: Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. Employing a qualitative research design, the study analyzes 60 publicly available comments collected from viral posts related to public figures and controversial topics. Using theoretical frameworks from speech act theory, impoliteness theory, and Gricean pragmatics, the research identifies multiple forms of verbal aggression, including bald-on-record insults, sarcasm, mock politeness, and presupposition-based attacks. The findings reveal that each platform exhibits distinct patterns of linguistic hostility shaped by its design, user culture, and interactional norms. Facebook fosters extended and confrontational discourse, TikTok promotes brief and performative sarcasm, while Instagram favors stylized and indirect expressions. Additionally, the study demonstrates that insults in digital contexts function not only as expressions of offense but also as performative acts of identity, judgment, and group alignment. This research contributes to digital pragmatics by showing how classical linguistic theories operate in technologically mediated environments. It also offers practical insights for content moderation, digital literacy, and ethical communication in online spaces.

GIS Integration in Geography Learning at Senior High Schools: Google Earth for Regional Concepts Spatial Planning

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in geography learning was an important innovation that contributed to the development of students’ spatial thinking skills in the digital era. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of Google Earth as a GIS-based learning medium in improving students' understanding of regional concepts and spatial planning skills at State Senior High School 2 Bengkulu. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The research population consisted of all Grade XI Social Studies students, with a sample of 38 students in the experimental class and 37 students in the control class. The experimental class was given Google Earth-based geography lessons to identify, analyse, and digitise spatial features, including land use, administrative boundaries, road networks, and settlement distribution. The control class followed conventional lessons using printed maps and textbooks. Data were collected through spatial thinking ability tests, map digitisation assignment results, and classroom observations, then analysed using an independent sample t-test to compare the learning outcomes of the two groups. The results showed that the average spatial thinking ability score of students in the experimental class was 87.3, while that of the control class was 74.1, with a p-value = 0.002, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. In addition, approximately 82% of students in the experimental class gave positive responses, rating this media as Very High in improving concept understanding and learning engagement. These findings confirm that GIS-based learning is effective in improving students' understanding of regional concepts, spatial thinking skills, geospatial literacy, and digital skills. The research results also emphasise the need to integrate geospatial technology into the geography curriculum and teacher training so that learning is more contextual, interactive, and relevant to the needs of the 21st century.

This study aims to identify dyslexia in elementary school students through handwriting analysis. Dyslexia, which is often detected late, can affect students' academic abilities, especially in reading and writing. Given the importance of early detection, this study explores the use of handwriting as an indicator for the early diagnosis of dyslexia in elementary school-aged children. The methods used in this study included collecting data from writing assignments given to students, where the quality of handwriting was measured based on several variables: legibility, writing speed, letter reversal, and spacing between letters. The collected data were then analyzed using qualitative and quantitative approaches to compare the handwriting characteristics of dyslexic students with those of non-dyslexic students. The results of the analysis showed that students with dyslexia exhibited deficits in legibility and writing speed, and were more likely to reverse letters or be inconsistent in letter formation, in line with previous findings in the relevant literature (Van Heuverswyn et al., 2024; Patil et al., 2024). This study confirms that handwriting analysis can be an effective screening tool for detecting dyslexia at the elementary school level, and the results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of more effective early detection methods in elementary schools in Indonesia.
