r than one. Initially, exchange rate depreciation will have a negative impact on trade through two methods, namely changes in volume and changes in value. This study aims to test whether the Marshall-Lerner Condition fulfilled in Indonesia's bilateral trade balance with the five largest trading partners using the Ordinary Least Squares method and in the observation period 2010.1-2022.12. The results of the Marshall-Lerner Condition study that one of Indonesia's five largest trading partners, namely China, the Marshall-Lerner Condition is met. While for Indonesia's other four largest trading partners, namely Japan, the US, the European Union and Singapore, Indonesia's largest trading partners are uncertain whether they meet the Marshall-Lerner Condition or not.
Abstract:This study originates from the researcher's interest in a mother who has a child with cerebral palsy but is able to find meaning in life despite the challenges she faces. Being a mother to a child with developmental disabilities…
bilities is not easy, yet the subject of this study strives to find meaning in every difficult experience. The purpose of this study is to understand how the subject, as a parent of a child with cerebral palsy, discovers meaning in life. Life's meaning encompasses what is considered important and valuable, providing special significance to an individual's life. This meaning can be found in both positive and negative circumstances, in happiness and suffering. The process involves realizing opportunities within certain situations and understanding what can be done. This qualitative study employs a descriptive case study design, with data collected through interviews and observations of a single subject. Data validity is ensured by also interviewing a significant other. The analysis reveals that the subject's meaning in life is reflected in her life goals, such as improving her living conditions, owning a house, and hoping her child becomes independent.

eachers selected through random sampling. Data collection techniques included questionnaires and documentation, while data analysis was conducted using regression and ANOVA tests. The results of this study show that Work Motivation and Optimism positively influence the Adversity Quotient. Based on the analysis, it was found that the Work Motivation variable (x1) influences the emergence of the Adversity Quotient (t = 34.181), while the Optimism variable (x2) does not significantly influence the emergence of the Adversity Quotient (t = 1.493). The combined influence of Work Motivation and Optimism on the emergence of the Adversity Quotient is 93.9%. The significance value for the simultaneous influence of X1 and X2 on Y is 0.000 < 0.05, and the calculated F value is 913.956 > F table value of 3.07.

arriage experiences in this context. The study employs the theories of reality construction, family communication, intrapersonal and interpersonal communication, reasoned action, social judgment, trauma, marriage, divorce, and early adulthood. Using a constructivist paradigm and qualitative descriptive method, the study involved five informants: two aged 24, two aged 25, and one aged 19. The results reveal that four informants construct marriage as complex, burdensome, and not a life goal, while one informant shifted from subjective to objective reality, viewing marriage as a source of happiness and a life goal. Three informants experienced complex marriage trauma, while two experienced simple trauma. Interestingly, not all informants with negative marriage constructions experienced complex trauma. Specifically, informants NA, AAP, and AN had negative constructions with complex trauma; informant VWY had negative constructions with simple trauma; and informant HS had a positive construction with simple trauma. This study highlights the diverse ways early adults in Medan City construct and experience the reality of marriage after parental divorce.
Abstract:This study aims to determine the role of emotion regulation on academic resilience in 10th, 12th, and 14th semester students who are working on an undergraduate thesis. The research method used is quantitative, employing…
multiple regression analysis techniques to analyze the data. The instruments used in this study include the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) scale, developed by Gross and John (2003), to measure emotion regulation, and The Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30), developed by Cassidy (2016), to measure academic resilience. The results of the study reveal that there is a significant positive effect of cognitive reappraisal emotion regulation on academic resilience among students in their 10th, 12th, and 14th semesters who are working on their thesis, accounting for 27.1% of the variance in academic resilience. This finding suggests that students who engage in cognitive reappraisal, a strategy that involves reinterpreting a situation to change its emotional impact, are more likely to demonstrate resilience in the face of academic challenges. In contrast, the study found no significant effect of expressive suppression emotion regulation on academic resilience in the same group of students. Expressive suppression, which involves inhibiting the outward expression of emotions, does not appear to contribute to the ability of students to remain resilient while working on their thesis. These findings highlight the importance of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in fostering academic resilience among students, particularly during challenging academic tasks such as thesis completion.

) on economic growth in Indonesia's 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier, Outermost) regions. This study employs quantitative research methods, with a population and sample comprising 62 regions designated as 3T in Indonesia. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression analysis with the EViews 10 software. The results reveal that government spending on education (BFPEND), public services (BFPU), and community empowerment (BDPM) does not significantly influence economic growth. However, government expenditures on social protection (BFPS) negatively and significantly affect economic growth, while spending on infrastructure (BFINF) and investment (INVEST) positively and significantly impact economic growth. Additionally, the HDI has a negative and significant effect on economic growth. Collectively, government spending across these sectors, along with HDI, has a positive and significant effect on economic growth in Indonesia's 3T regions. A comparison of the average HDI in Disadvantaged Regions versus Frontier and Outermost Regions in Indonesia is also presented.

self-efficacy predicts readiness for change among digital enterprise employees. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey design. The sample comprised 106 digital enterprise employees. Data were collected using a 25-item Readiness to Change Questionnaire and a 10-item General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) instrument. The validity test utilized content and construct validity, ensuring the instruments accurately measure the intended constructs. The reliability test, using Cronbach's Alpha, ranged from 0.592 to 0.955, indicating varying levels of internal consistency, while the reliability of the measurement model (inner model) ranged from 0.773 to 0.961, suggesting high reliability. The results of the hypothesis testing show that (1) self-efficacy is a significant predictor of readiness for change, with a predictive relevance of 30%; (2) self-efficacy significantly influences the appropriateness dimension, with an effective contribution of 47.1%; (3) self-efficacy is a significant predictor of the management support dimension, with an effective contribution of 46%; (4) self-efficacy significantly predicts the change efficacy dimension, with an effective contribution of 47.9%; (5) however, self-efficacy is not a significant predictor of personal benefits. These findings underscore the importance of self-efficacy in enhancing employees' readiness for change within digital enterprises. Companies should focus on boosting employees' self-efficacy to improve their adaptability and effectiveness in the face of digital transformation. By recognizing and fostering the key dimensions influenced by self-efficacy, organizations can better support their workforce during periods of change. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of psychological factors that facilitate successful change management in the digital era.
Abstract:This research is to find out how community participatory planning works in development in Lembah Sumara Village, Soyo Jaya District, North Morowali Regency. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. Data types…
s use primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The informant withdrawal technique uses purpose. The data analysis used is the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of the research conducted, community participatory planning in development in Lembah Sumara Village, Soyo Jaya District, North Morowali Regency still has many problems. When viewed from the planning stages, the dominant ones who appear active during village fund management deliberations are village officials, members of village consultative bodies and community figures who are considered influential. Meanwhile, most of the community does not play an active role at the planning stage because they do not receive invitations during deliberations, so that when decisions are made, they do not represent the aspirations of the community in general. Likewise, public awareness of the development implementation stages is still very low. Indications of this can be seen in the implementation of village fund management policies for development, starting from the planning process to implementing activities which are almost entirely carried out by the village government.
