The purpose of this research to analyze the long-term effects and short-term shocks of internal factors (inflation, economic growth, Indonesian interest rates) and external factors (economic openness, foreign interest rates, exchange rates) to foreign direct investment in Indonesia. The effects and impacts of these shocks will form the basis for decision-making and policy-setting in achieving optimal economic growth. This study uses the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Error Correction Model (ECM) method to see the long-term and short-term effects of internal and external factors on foreign direct investment in Indonesia. The data used time series data from fisrt quarterly in 2000 to fourth quarterly in 2016. In more detail, ECM used to analyze short-term shocks. The results show that in the short term the internal factor of inflation caused shocks to foreign direct investment and in the long run, the variable of inflation and economic growth have a significant effect on foreign direct investment. External factors such as: economic openness, foreign interest rate and exchange rate in the short run cause shocks to foreign direct investment, and in the long term the openness of economy and exchange rate have a significant influence.

The findings of this study reveal a mismatch between competence criteria and the reality of students' critical thinking and scientific writing abilities. As a result, it is critical to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible. This study aims to implement the inquiry-based learning model of local wisdom dilemmas stories (ILWDS) and examine its effect on improving critical thinking and writing abilities. The research design is a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 2 senior high schools—the samples consisted of 62 students in the experimental and 62 in the control group. Data on students' critical thinking abilities were obtained through test instruments. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using MANOVA. Additional studies to evaluate the number of the treatment's effects on the capacity to think critically and write scientifically used Cohen's d equation. The results showed that the mean score of the experimental group's critical thinking abilities and scientific writing was higher than that of the control group. The results of the MANOVA analysis show that there is a significant influence of the ILWDS learning model on students' critical thinking abilities and scientific writing. This model is effective in the high category. Therefore, the ILWDS learning model is recommended to be applied in senior high schools which need help improving critical thinking abilities and scientific writing.

Registration for the 2024 presidential candidates began at the end of 2023, but the euphoria of the supporters of the 2024 presidential candidates began to be felt from the beginning of 2022. Several survey institutions released public opinions regarding several prospective 2024 presidential candidates. One of the approaches taken in the survey was by conducting direct interviews with the public. However, political dynamics can change the results of political surveys at great expense. Public opinion about the 2024 presidential candidates cannot only be acquired through direct interviews. Public opinion acquisition can also be done through social media such as Twitter. This article aims to find out public opinion on the candidates for the 2024 presidential candidate on Twitter social media. This article uses a Twitter dataset and data analysis tools using orange data mining. The crawling dataset was carried out using the hashtags #capres2024 and #presiden2024 and the keywords anies baswedan, prabowo subianto and ganjar pranowo with 10,000 tweet data in content written in Indonesian. Text preprocessing includes transformation, tokenization, filtering and normalization applied to data before analysis is carried out with topic modeling and sentiment towards the presidential candidates. The results of the word cloud analysis show a very high level of popularity for candidate Ganjar Pranowo, but the results of the sentiment analysis show that Ganjar Pranowo has a negative sentiment.

BACKGROUND: Children in rural areas are susceptible to zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency in children can affect cognitive function in children. Zinc plays a role in cellular function and critical brain growth processes, including cell replication, DNA and RNA synthesis, and the release of neurotransmitters. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the condition of zinc deficiency and its relationship with the level of intelligence in children in rural areas. METHODS: The study design was cross-sectional, with a sample of 44 elementary school children aged 9–12 years taken randomly. Blood was drawn to measure serum Zn-levels, and serum Zn-levels were measured using Colorimetric Assay Kit (E-BC-K137). Zinc intake data were obtained from the food recall form, which was carried out 3 × 24 h. The level of intelligence is measured by the Culture Fair Intelligence Test method. The sample characteristics data obtained through a questionnaire. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. RESULTS: About 84.2% of children with insufficient zinc intake had low serum Zn-levels. There was a significant relationship between zinc intake and serum zinc levels (p = 0.026; PR = 4.293). Children with low serum zinc levels of 96.5% have intelligence levels below average. There was a significant relationship between serum zinc levels and intelligence level as well (p = 0.001; PR = 24,500). CONCLUSION: Zinc deficiency in children is characterized by low serum Zn-levels. Low serum Zn-level is caused by low zinc intake, thus children with low serum Zn-levels are at risk of having intelligence level below average. Therefore, health education about the importance of zinc intake in children should be given to parents, so that the incidence of zinc deficiency in children can be reduced.
