Beyond Writing Assistance: Generative AI, Multilingual Meaning-Making, and Authorial Agency in EMI Critical Writing Classrooms

This qualitative study of 26 Indonesian undergraduate students reveals that in an EMI critical writing course, generative AI functions not merely as a writing tool but as a sophisticated epistemic mediator that supports multilingual meaning-making, argument construction, and the critical enactment of authorial agency, leading to the proposal of a Human–AI Epistemic Mediation Framework.

Cognitive Firewall: Metacognitive thresholds and nonlinear adaptation in algorithmic learning environments

This study introduces the "Cognitive Firewall" framework, utilizing nonlinear machine learning models to demonstrate that learner adaptation in algorithmic environments is driven by a critical metacognitive threshold in their belief system rather than passive information exclusion, thereby offering a superior predictive model over traditional linear approaches.

From Traditional Plates to Platform Menus: Displacement of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption by Convenience Food Environments in Indonesia

This review synthesizes recent studies to argue that Indonesia's declining fruit and vegetable consumption is driven primarily by structural forces—specifically urbanization, market integration, and the dominance of ultra-processed options on digital delivery platforms—rather than individual attitudes, highlighting critical gaps in current research regarding the mechanisms of this dietary displacement.
