Variability of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is one of the climatic features that influence global and regional climate dynamics. Missing data (gaps) in the SST dataset are worth investigating since they may statistically alter the value of the SST change. The partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach is used in this work to estimate the causality relationships between exogenous and endogenous latent variables. The findings of this study, which are significant indicators that have a loading factor value > 0.7 are as follows: i) sea surface temperature (oC) as a measure of the latent variable changes in SST, ii) wind speed (m/s) and relative humidity (%) as a measure of the latent variable of weather, and iii) air temperature (oC), long-wave solar radiation (w/m2) as a measure of climate latent variables. The size of the Rsquare value is influenced by the number of gaps. The results of the boostrapping show that the latent variables of weather and climate have a significant effect on changes in SST which are indicated by the value of tstatistics > ttabel. The structural model obtained Changes in SST (η) = -0.330 weather + 0.793 climate + ζ. The model shows that the weather has a negative coefficient, which means that the better the weather conditions, the lower the SST changes. Climate has a positive coefficient, which means that the better the climate, the SST changes will also increase. Rising sea surface temperatures caused by an increase in climate can lead to global warming, impacting El-Nino and La-Nina events.

The purpose of this research is to investigate factors that influence the intent of behavior using technology in online learning. The study uses structural equation modeling using a partial least square approach to test the hypotheses. Respondents selected using purposive sampling, and the questionnaires were distributed through online surveys and received a response of 96 respondents. Results show that latent variables, performance expectations, business expectations, and facility conditions have a positive and significant relationship with the intent of individual behaviour in the use of technology in online learning. The latent variable "condition facility" is the most influential factor. This research provides an important overview and understanding for policymakers in designing frameworks to pay attention to facility conditions. Further research is suggested in the future covering samples from various provinces in Indonesia. This study adds to the literature primarily on factors affecting behavioral intent to use technology in online learning.

Technology advances are bring rapid changes, thus bringing the world to the information society. From this technological progress thus e-commerce emerged, as a means to meet the needs of goods and services through internet access (online). This is what the airlines utilized by cooperating with various internet service providers (online), to provide convenience and comfort of airplane passengers in buying tickets without having to come directly to the place and through intermediaries. To provide the best service, need to know what factors that influence customer satisfaction in ordering airline tickets online. Appropriate modeling for this problem using structural equation modeling, with Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The PLS approach is chosen because it is not based on several assumptions, one of these is the normal multivariate assumption. In this research, the exogenous latent variables used are performance, access, security, sensation, information, and web design, while the endogenous latent variables are satisfaction and loyalty. Based on the results of the analysis it can be concluded that the latent variables of access, security, sensation, information, and web design are able to explain the latent satisfaction variable of 70.32% while the satisfaction latent variable is able to explain the latent variable of loyalty by 36.02%.

E-commerce refers to business transactions using digital networks such as the internet. Based on the rank on the Appstore and Playstore, Shopee places the first rank. In 2019, Shopee had 56 million visitors. Meanwhile, in the same year, it had 3,225 workers. The imbalance between the number of Shopee visitors and Shopee employees allows users to be disappointed with Shopee's services, but on the other hand, there are also many users who are happy with its services. With both positive and negative responses to the services provided by Shopee, this study analyzes the factors affecting the acceptance of Shopee Apps on students of Universitas Diponegoro Semarang. The analysis was based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It used the Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) approach. The study used primary data obtained by distributing questionnaires to students of Universitas Diponegoro. The result showed 28 valid indicators, 5 deal inner models, and 8 significant pathways. All the causality between latent variables contained in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) have a positive and significant effect, it's just that the results of integrating trust variables on TAM, namely the latent variable between trust and interest in usage behavior, have no significant effect.

Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder characterized by major disorders in the mind and emotions. People with schizophrenia (ODS) can experience recurrence if they do not receive proper care. The latent variable used in this study was ODS reccurence. One method that can determine the relationship between latent variables and latent variables with the indicator is the partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM). This study was conducted to see how the structural model of ODS recurrence data and to know the factors that most influence ODS recurrence. The results of this study concluded that the resulting model was good enough with a large R-square value of 0.8577, but not all variables used in this study had a significant effect on ODS recurrence. ODS recurrence is significantly influenced by family support and community social support variables. While medication compliance and physician control regularity will not have a significant effect without family support. The worse treatment of families and communities around ODS recurrence will occur more often.

Sea surface temperature (SST) is one of the features of climate variability that has a significant role in human activities. This study aims to predict and determine whether weather and climate variables with their measuring indicators can predict changes in SST by comparing daily and monthly data. This study uses a partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach which can predict the causality relationship between exogenous latent variables and endogenous latent variables. The results obtained from this study are, from the nine indicators used there are only 6 significant indicators with a loading factor value 0.7, namely sea surface temperature (oC) as a measure of latent variables SST changes, wind speed (m/s) and humidity relative (%) as a measure of the latent variable of weather, and air temperature (oC), short-wave solar radiation (w/m2) for daily data, and long-wave solar radiation (w/m2) for monthly data as a measure of climate latent variable. Inner model obtained on daily data: SST change (η) = -0.285 weather + 0.650 climate + and on monthly data SST change (η) = -0.330 weather + 0.793 climate +. In monthly data, weather and climate latent variables and their measuring indicators have a greater influence on changes in SST with the coefficient values in the model obtained being greater than in daily data. Latent variables that have a significant effect on changes in SST are weather and climate. This shows that if there is an increase or decrease in weather and climate it can cause significant changes to the SST. The value of the criteria on the outer model and inner model on daily and monthly data obtained better results on monthly data. The presence of more missing data in daily data can be one of the causes of this happening.

Education is improving human power. Education is divided into three level namely primary, secondary and high level education. High level education can be obtained from University. University as one of high level education, is a formal education place for all studying and teaching activities, research, community service and develop scientific student to become qualified workforce. Student achievement in universities is influenced by various factors that cannot be measured both direct and indirect. The method that is used to determine those factors is structural equation modeling (PPS) with partial least square (PLS) method. PPS with PLS method used when there are some assumptions on diverse PPS which is not fullfiled, like binormal distribution and the big ammount of examples. The results showed that the six exogenous latent variables (family background, motivation, environment, visual learning style, auditory learning style, and kinesthetic learning style) did not have a significant influence on endogenous variables (student achievement). The model used in this study has a R2 value 14.1%. This values ​​indicates that the model built is still weak in explaining the diversity of student achievement.

In Science, students tend to use the ability, which is dominantly controlled by their left-hemisphere brain. This study explores how science process skills (SPS) affect cognitive learning achievement (CLA) of dominantly right-brained and left-brained students. By applying project-based learning on the topic that integrates STEAM elements, this research examines the differences of the effects among those groups. The respondents were 32 8th-grade students from two randomly selected intact classes. This study employed a test to measure exogenous (SPS) and endogenous (CLA) latent variables. The partial least square - structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group PLS-SEM were employed to analyze the results. The evaluation of the outer model shows that both latent variables were valid and reliable. The factor loading value for all indicators of each latent variable was over 0.7. The cross-loading value indicates a higher correlation between the latent variable and its indicators compared to the other variables' indicators. The composite reliability and Cronbach's alpha values were over 0.7. The significance test shows that all indicators of each latent variable were valid. The evaluation of the inner model through the significance test (α=5%) suggests that the science process skill influenced CLA with a coefficient of 0.907. Meanwhile, the 0.822 R-square value demonstrates the variability of the SPS can explain the variability of CLA of 82.2%. The multi-group-SEM test reveals a difference in the effect of SPS toward CLA among dominantly right-brained and left-brained students. While the path coefficient for the former was 0.94, the latter was 0.881.
