Lia Umbari Putri, Laina Tussifah Santoso, Masri Wahyuni
Abstract: Student mental health disorders have become an increasingly important issue due to their significant impact on academic performance and psychological well-being. Machine learning-based approaches offer a promising alternative&#8230; ative for supporting early detection; however, only a limited number of studies have conducted comprehensive evaluations of various ensemble learning algorithms by simultaneously considering predictive performance, computational efficiency, and statistical significance. This study aims to compare ten classification algorithms, namely Random Forest, Extra Trees, Gradient Boosting, Hist Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost, XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, Logistic Regression, and Stacking Ensemble, using 5-fold Stratified Cross-Validation. Model performance was evaluated using Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score, Receiver Operating Characteristic–Area Under the Curve (ROC-AUC), training time, inference time, confusion matrix, feature importance, as well as One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (Tukey HSD) tests. The experimental results show that CatBoost achieved the highest classification performance, with an Accuracy of 84.86%, an F1-Score of 87.19%, a Recall of 88.03%, and an ROC-AUC of 0.9220. XGBoost delivered comparable predictive performance with a substantially shorter training time (3.92 seconds), while LightGBM was the most computationally efficient algorithm, requiring an average training time of only 0.85 seconds. In contrast, the Stacking Ensemble required the longest training time (215.41 seconds) without providing a statistically meaningful performance improvement over the boosting-based models. The ANOVA results revealed significant differences in ROC-AUC among the evaluated models (p < 0.001), whereas the Tukey HSD test indicated that most boosting algorithms did not differ significantly from one another. These findings provide practical guidance for selecting classification algorithms by balancing predictive performance and computational efficiency to support early mental health screening systems for university students.

Self-Efficacy as a Predictor of Readiness for Change in Digital Enterprise Employees

Ayu Amalia, Hana, Endang Kusmaryani, Rosita
Abstract: Every company must adapt to the digital era, and a crucial strategy for achieving this is preparing for change. Employees who are ready for change tend to operate more effectively. This research aims to determine whether&#8230; 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.

Cybergogy-Assisted E-Module to Boost Middle Schoolers’ Digital Literacy in the Mixture Separation Topic

Ramadhani, Novitasari, Subekti, Hasan
Abstract: This study aims to describe the effect of a cybergogy-based approach supported by an e-module in fostering students’ digital literacy on the topic of mixture separation. Motivated by the demands of Industry 4.0/Society 5.0&#8230; 5.0 and low literacy outcomes (e.g., PISA 2022) as well as preliminary findings at SMP Negeri 1 Bagor—where only 50% of students surpassed the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM) of 70 in science—the research employed a pre-experimental one-shot case study design with 32 Grade VIII-D students. Digital-literacy performance was measured through a verified posttest and analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Shapiro–Wilk testing indicated non-normality, so a Wilcoxon test was conducted against the KKM benchmark. The mean posttest score was 82.28 (min 75.00; max 91.66), with average achievement across components of 79% (high category); hypertext navigation was the strongest component (94%, very high), while content evaluation was the weakest (64%, high). The Wilcoxon test yielded Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) < 0.001, indicating a significant improvement relative to the benchmark. These findings suggest that the cybergogy-assisted e-module is effective for cultivating students’ digital literacy in mixture separation, with device-access constraints noted as a practical limitation for future implementations.

Beyond Cost Control: How AI-Powered Spend Orchestration Unlocks 7.3% Growth Premiums in 2025

Dzreke, Simon Suwanzy
Abstract: In an uncertain economic climate, a large global retailer used AI-powered spend intelligence to move $220 million from indirect operational costs toward high-impact R&D. In a difficult recession, this decisive step boosted&#8230; ed revenue by 11%, demonstrating the transformative impact of effective capital management. This achievement contrasts with "spend blindness," where industry studies show most financial leaders struggle to link expenditure patterns to strategic growth outcomes and resort to reactive cost-cutting. This study addresses this crucial gap. A thorough mixed-methods approach including a global survey of 400 CFOs, longitudinal case studies of ten multinational organizations, and advanced predictive modeling substantiated a new paradigm. Research shows that companies that understand AI-driven spend orchestration develop 7.3% faster than competitors. This premium comes from a 37% improvement in the Growth Efficiency Ratio (GER), a critical statistic for translating savings into innovation, and 5.8 times more strategic investment opportunities than standard financial approaches allow. The Spend Intelligence Quotient (SIQ), a groundbreaking statistic that assesses financial agility through integrated spend monitoring, predictive analytics, and rapid capital reallocation, is key to this advantage. This paper introduces the empirically based Spend Orchestration Framework and the requirements for the 2025 AI Finance Stack to obtain SIQ >80, the empirically proven threshold for sustainable competitive advantage. The message is clear: finance chiefs must go beyond oversight. Today's CFO may use predictive contracting and algorithmic governance to turn spend data into strategic leverage, ensure resilience, and capture disproportionate value in.

Bridging The Digital-Physical Divide: Transfer Learning For Unified Threat Correlation in Converged IT/OT/IOT Ecosystems

Dzreke, Simon Suwanzy
Abstract: The increased integration of operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and business IT systems has allowed sophisticated attackers to circumvent isolated security features and launch cross-platform assaults.&#8230; Current fragmented techniques, with discrete detectors monitoring Modbus, Kubernetes, MQTT, or other domain-specific protocols, cannot handle cross-system risks. These methodologies overlook 68% of multi-vector marketing that uses both physical and digital channels. This study introduces a transfer learning architecture to integrate detection capabilities by correlating threats across protocols, devices, and settings. The architecture generates a unified feature space that extracts behavioral semantics from industrial control system logs, cloud telemetry, network traffic, and device-level signals to produce protocol-agnostic threat representations. Adversarial domain adaptation and semantic graph embeddings enable cross-domain knowledge transfer with minimum retraining. Security teams may now discover kill chains like infected cloud containers preceding illegal PLC command execution every 23 minutes. Validated against real-world attack datasets from water treatment facilities (OT) and cloud infrastructure (IT), the system achieved 93.4% cross-platform attack recall, a 41.3 percentage point improvement over prior methodologies. It reduced OT data labeling by 89% and false positives by 93.5%. This paradigm shift transforms threat correlation from a reactive, domain-specific process to adaptive intelligence, boosting resilience for critical infrastructure, industrial ecosystems, and smart environments facing cyber-physical hazards. The framework's practical validation in energy, industry, and vital infrastructure shows its importance in protecting an increasingly linked world.
