Micro-hydro Power Plant-Based Social Entrepreneurship Practices in Rural West Java (A Case Study of Cintamekar Village, Subang Regency)

Cintamekar Village in Subang Regency, West Java, is a peripheral village. One of its characteristics is that residents, especially from the pre-prosperous group, have not been able to enjoy the flow of electricity even though the source of electricity through the PLN is available. To overcome this, on the initiative of the non-governmental organization Initiative of People's Business and Economy (IBEKA), a PLTMH was built in the area. The purpose of this research is to analyze factors affecting social entrepreneurship for community empowerment. The research uses a quantitative approach which is reinforced by qualitative data. The method chosen is the case study. The results showed that overall, the formation of cooperatives was able to build social entrepreneurship by creating social benefits (score 3.6), carrying out social innovation (score above 3), and making the economic activities of citizens more diverse (score 4). The results from the data processed using SEM-PLS show that the development of social entrepreneurship is influenced by the characteristics of technology and innovation by 0.281. The communication channel factor is more dominant in influencing the development of social entrepreneurship, which is equal to 0.487. These two factors explained that there was a change of 33.3 percent in social entrepreneurship. The social entrepreneurship practice of the PLTMH program in Cintamekar Village is built on the characteristics of technology, innovation, and communication channels. The characteristics of technology and innovation as well as communication channels are the driving force for residents to change their social entrepreneurship behavior. This means that the technological and innovation characteristics of the PLTMH development and the communication channels used, through cooperative institutions, have a good impact on the development of social entrepreneurship in Cintamekar Village, and as a whole, they are able to build social entrepreneurship in creating social innovation and economic activities.
LAND USE IMPACTS ON FLOOD DISASTER IN THE MIDDLE REACHES OF THE YANGTZE RIVER

The middle reaches of the Yangtze River is the central area of the Yangtze River industrial belts and an important area to form a connecting link between the east and the west of China. However, since 1990's, the frequency of flood disasters and the economic loss caused by floods has increased continuously. Although flood disaster is closely related with physical factors, such as weather, geomorphology etc., unreasonable land use by human has increased the occurring possibility and intensity of flood disaster. By analyzing the relationship between land use and flood water level, the capacity of regulating flood of lake and river, and the economic loss, it is found that the unreasonable land exploitation and utilization of the flood-diversion and flood-storage areas, the building of sluices to reclaim land from lakes, and the exploitation of islets in the river are the key factors of land use in the middle reaches of Yangtze River to aggravate flood disasters. Therefore, some land use policies,such as compiling land use planning in areas fragile to flood disaster, carrying out the policy of "conversing agricultural polders to lake, emigrants for town construction", developing "anti-flood agriculture", constructing flood-diversion and flood-storage areas, and improving land use efficiency, etc, are proposed for mitigating flood disasters. Furthermore, the possibility implement these policies and some problems to be resolved in the process of their implementation are analyzed.
Characteristic analysis of typhoon disaster chains in the Yangtze River Delta region of China

Based on the frequency of historical typhoons,the typhoon tracks that struck the Yangtze River Delta region were divided into three main types: westward,traverse and northward,and one special track in this paper.Then with the digital elevation model(DEM) data and geographical environment,the Yangtze River Delta region was divided into three areas: coastal area in the east,hilly area in the south and plain area in the north.Finally,the characteristics of typhoon disaster chains in the combinations of typhoon tracks and environment were analyzed with the typical cases of "Ranan","Winnie" and "Agnes". Results show that typhoon-strong wind-high wave /storm surge disaster chain are easily to form in the coastal area,typhoon-rainstorm-flash flood,landslide and debris flow disaster chain are easily to form in the hilly area and typhoon-rainstorm-plain flood and inundation disaster chain are easily to form in the plain area.The westward type of typhoon mainly affects the coastal area and the hilly area is prone to induce the relative typhoon disaster chain in these two areas;The traverse typhone mainly affect the whole Yangtze River Delta region and would cause the above mentioned three chains;and the northward typhoon mainly affect the coastal area and would easily induce high wave or storm surge disasters.
Polarimetric Estimates of a 1-Month Accumulation of Light Rain with a 3-cm Wavelength Radar

AbstractThe authors evaluate rainfall estimates from the new polarimetric X-band radar at Bonn, Germany, for a period between mid-November and the end of December 2009 by comparison with rain gauges. The emphasis is on slightly more than 1-month accumulations over areas minimally affected by beam blockage. The rain regime was characterized by reflectivities mainly below 45 dBZ, maximum observed rain rates of 47 mm h−1, a mean rain rate of 0.1 mm h−1, and brightband altitudes between 0.6 and 2.4 km above the ground. Both the reflectivity factor and the specific differential phase are used to obtain the rain rates. The accuracy of rain total estimates is evaluated from the statistics of the differences between radar and rain gauge measurements. Polarimetry provides improvement in the statistics of reflectivity-based measurements by reducing the bias and RMS errors from −25% to 7% and from 33% to 17%, respectively. Essential to this improvement is separation of the data into those attributed to pure rain, th.
Ephemeral Ice Clouds in the Upper Mesosphere of Venus

The conditions in Venus' upper mesosphere at around 120 km have some similarities to the upper mesosphere of Earth and Mars where ice clouds form. Here we show, using published satellite products and numerical modeling, that the upper mesosphere of Venus can be sufficiently cold that both H2O and CO2 may condense to form particles. We show that amorphous solid water particles (ASW) are likely to nucleate both heterogeneously on meteoric smoke and also homogeneously, resulting in clouds of nano‐scaled particles at around 120 km that will occur globally. The temperatures may then become sufficiently low, below ∼90 K, that CO2 particles can nucleate on ASW particles. Given the uncertainty associated with retrievals of temperature in the upper mesosphere, it is unclear how frequently this occurs, but it could be >30% of the time poleward of 60°. Since the main component of Venus' tenuous atmosphere is CO2, any CO2 crystals that form will grow and sediment on a timescale of 10–20 min. Mie calculations show that these Venusian mesospheric clouds (VMCs) should be observable by contemporary satellite instruments, although their short lifetime means that the probability of detection is small. We suggest that VMCs are important for the redistribution of meteoric smoke and may serve as a cold‐trap, removing some water vapor from the very upper mesosphere of Venus through the growth and sedimentation of cloud particles, and possibly reducing the loss of water to space.
The Breakfast Habits Related with Nutritional Status of Students in State Madrasah Ibtidaiyah 1 Kuantan Singingi

Fulfillment of nutritional needs in the morning can be obtained from breakfast, there was by fulfilling 15-30% of daily nutrient intake. Currently, there are still many Indonesian children who still need to consume breakfast under balanced nutrition recommendations. Children who rarely had breakfast are at risk of nutrient deficiencies, affecting their nutritional status. The study aimed to determine the correlation of breakfast habits to the nutritional status of students in State Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MIN) 1 Kuantan Singingi. This research was conducted in MIN 1 Kuantan Singingi on February 2023. This research method used a cross-sectional design and a total sampling technique. Variabels in this research included breakfast obtained by breakfast recall questionnaire interviews and nutritional status determined based on measurements of the z-socre of BMI/Age. The results showed that 47,5% respondents were normal category and about 57.5% respondents had good breakfast habits. Based on the Chi-Square test results obtained a value of p=0.7460. 05, it can be concluded that there was no significant correlation between breakfast to the nutritional status of students in MIN 1 Kuantan Singingi.
The Influence of Organizational Commitment and Supervision on Discipline Through Job Satisfaction on Educational Personnel Faculty of Law, Brawijaya University, Malang

Organizational commitment is the relative strength of an individual's involvement in a particular organization, which is indicated by a strong belief in the goals and values of the organization, a willingness to make certain efforts for the benefit of the organization and a strong desire to continue being a member of the organization. This research aims to examine and analyze the influence of: i) organizational commitment to discipline, ii) supervision influences discipline, iii) organizational commitment to job satisfaction, iv) supervision to job satisfaction, v) job satisfaction to discipline, vi) organizational commitment to discipline through job satisfaction, vii) supervision of discipline through job satisfaction. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Law, Brawijaya University, Malang, using an explanatory research approach with a census sample technique obtained from 74 educational staff. Data was collected using a questionnaire method given directly to respondents. Then it was analyzed using path analysis.The results concluded that, all the proposed hypotheses were accepted, namely: (i) organizational commitment had an effect on discipline, (ii) supervision had an effect on discipline, (iii) organizational commitment had an effect on job satisfaction, (iv) supervision had an effect on job satisfaction, (v ) job satisfaction influences discipline, (vi) organizational commitment influences discipline through job satisfaction, (vii) supervision influences discipline through job satisfaction.
Does Existential Flexibility Associate With Individuals’ Acceptance of Inequality? A Study Relating Existential Questing to Values and to Prejudice

This study investigated whether existential quest, a relatively new construct defining individual willingness to reflect on existential issues such as the meaning of life and death, was negatively associated with generalized prejudice through the mediation with personal values of universalism and conservation (conformity, security, and tradition). A structural equation model was performed on a convenience sample of 1136 Italian adults. Results confirmed a negative indirect relationship with generalized prejudice mediated by universalism. Findings support the argument that engagement with existential issues is associated with the value of universalism, which in turn is associated with lower levels of generalized prejudice. The present study contributes to the scholarly literature to explain the concept of existential quest.

Value of Electronic Health Records Measured Using Financial and Clinical Outcomes: Quantitative Study

Background The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 was legislated to reduce health care costs, improve quality, and increase patient safety. Providers and organizations were incentivized to exhibit meaningful use of certified electronic health record (EHR) systems in order to achieve this objective. EHR adoption is an expensive investment, given the resources and capital that are invested. Due to the cost of the investment, a return on the EHR adoption investment is expected. Objective This study performed a value analysis of EHRs. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between EHR adoption levels and financial and clinical outcomes by combining both financial and clinical outcomes into one conceptual model. Methods We examined the multivariate relationships between different levels of EHR adoption and financial and clinical outcomes, along with the time variant control variables, using moderation analysis with a longitudinal fixed effects model. Since it is unknown as to when hospitals begin experiencing improvements in financial outcomes, additional analysis was conducted using a 1- or 2-year lag for profit margin ratios. Results A total of 5768 hospital-year observations were analyzed over the course of 4 years. According to the results of the moderation analysis, as the readmission rate increases by 1 unit, the effect of a 1-unit increase in EHR adoption level on the operating margin decreases by 5.38%. Hospitals with higher readmission payment adjustment factors have lower penalties. Conclusions This study fills the gap in the literature by evaluating individual relationships between EHR adoption levels and financial and clinical outcomes, in addition to evaluating the relationship between EHR adoption level and financial outcomes, with clinical outcomes as moderators. This study provided statistically significant evidence (P<.05), indicating that there is a relationship between EHR adoption level and operating margins when this relationship is moderated by readmission rates, meaning hospitals that have adopted EHRs could see a reduction in their readmission rates and an increase in operating margins. This finding could further be supported by evaluating more recent data to analyze whether hospitals increasing their level of EHR adoption would decrease readmission rates, resulting in an increase in operating margins. Hospitals would incur lower penalties as a result of improved readmission rates, which would contribute toward improved operating margins.

The current paper aims at identifying pre-service teachers‘ perceptions towards academicblogging in higher education institutions. Using the quantitative and qualitative approaches, aquestionnaire and semistructured interviews were administered to a sample of ELT pre-service teachers (n = 38) enrolled in a course blog created mainly to discuss some of the issues related to the “Principles of Curriculum Construction" course. The results showed that the pre-service teachers held positive attitudes towards blogs in various terms and perceived it as an effective tool in higher education. Relevant recommendations included careful planning to incorporate this tool for better future careers.
A new freshwater turtle (Reptilia, Pleurodira, Podocnemidae) from the upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Minas Gerais, Brazil

The fossil fauna of freshwater turtles from the Bauru Basin, south central Brazil, includes only podocnemids (Pleurodira, Pelomedusoides). A new genus and species, Cambaremys langertoni n. gen., n. sp. , represents a taxon in the stem-lineage to the crown-Podocnemidae. This phylogenetic position is given by the joint presence of a plesiomorphically expanded coracoid and an apomorphic cranially displaced caudal margin of the pectoral scute. Its holotype and only specimen was collected from Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) rocks of the Serra da Galga Member (Marilia Formation, Bauru Group), in the area of Uberaba, Minas Gerais. Although no autapomorphic features were recognised for Cambaremys langertoni n. gen., n. sp. , the taxon is distinct from all other South American Cretaceous podocnemids based on an unique suite of shell features, namely: a narrow nuchal plate, seven neural plates, a second neural plate that contacts the first costal plates, a pectoro-abdominal sulcus that does not penetrate the mesoplastra, and xiphiplastra with a deep anal notch and subtriangular ischiadic sutures.
The Integration of Islamic Values in English Language Teaching Context: Practices and Challenges

Studies on the integration of moral, cultural, and religious values in the non-religion subject have been greatly raised in these recent years. This research aims to find out the teachers’ strategy and challenges encountered in integrating Islamic values in English language teaching. The descriptive method with a qualitative approach is employed in this research. The subject of this research consists of three English teachers who teach in different grades from seventh to ninth at SMP Pesantren Modern IMMIM Putra Makassar. The data of this research are obtained from the observation sheet and interview guide. The data analysis technique in this research uses three steps, namely identification, classification, and explanation. The result of this research shows that there are four strategies employed by English teachers in integrating Islamic values in ELT. First, the teachers give direct advice to the students. Second, the teachers associate the lesson topic with pertinent Islamic teaching by quoting verses from the Qur’an and/or Hadith. Third, the teachers get the students used to worship through the habituation of religious activities. Fourth, the teachers refer to someone, or themselves to introduce some Islamic values to the students. The teachers also encounter several challenges in integrating Islamic values in ELT. First, the limited availability of English textbooks integrated to Islamic values. Second, the teachers have limited knowledge of how to optimally integrate Islamic values into the teaching and learning process. Third, the teachers have a limited time to provide and prepare the English learning materials associated to Islamic values. Further studies such as research and development of English textbooks that integrated to Islamic values for high school students are expected to be conducted in an attempt to solve the teachers’ challenges revealed in this research.
STUDY OF ROOSTING SITES OF BLUE PEAFOWL, Pavo cristatus LINNAEUS, 1758 IN DISTRICT KURUKSHETRA, HARYANA (INDIA)

The present study on the roosting sites of blue peafowl Pavo cristatus Linnaeus, 1758 was carried out from August, 2009 to September, 2010 in three study areas, namely, Saraswati Plantation Wildlife Sanctuary (SPWS), Bir Sonti Reserve Forest (BSRF) and village Jhrouli Kalan and its agricultural lands (JKAL) in district Kurukshetra in the state of Haryana, India. Results revealed that blue peafowls mainly used tree species such as Kikar (Acacia nilotica), Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), Safeda (Eucalyptus hybrid), Bargad (Ficus bengalensis), Pilkhan (Ficus rumphii), Jamun (Syzygium cumini), Beri (Zizyphus mauritiana), Teek (Tectona grandis), Nashpati (Pyrus pyrifolia), Nakh (Pyrus cummunis), Mango (Mangifera indica), Guava (Psidium guajava), Popular (Populus populous) for roosting activity during the day time as well as in the whole night in dense forest/scrubby forest/orchards of all the three study areas. Eucalyptus tree, being the dominating plant in SPWS and BSRF, was found to be used as roosting site by majority of peafowls, i.e., 31% in SPWS and 32% in BSRF. However, In JKAL, peafowl were seen roosting on Beri (Zizyphus mauritiana) for maximum 17% number of times. (GIRISH CHOPRA and TARSEM KUMAR.

The Economy of Jars: Kindred Relationships in Bulgaria - An Exploration

People transform inherited cultural patterns to serve their needs under new circumstances. Networks of kindred relationships exemplify this process. Under socialist conditions in Bulgaria, kindred relationships assist in people 's transitions from cooperative farming to the working class, and from rural to urban life. Kin connections also contribute to solving life problems for which social solutions are not yet adequately institutionalized. Research should examine kin networks in their contemporary roles, rather than viewing the importance of kinship connections as merely an anachronism.
The importance of slab pull and a global asthenosphere to plate motions

Earth's subducting plates move 3–4 times faster than its overriding plates, but it remains unclear whether these contrasting plate speeds are caused by additional pull from subducting slabs or by increased viscous drag on the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary beneath deeply‐protruding continental roots. To investigate the relative importance of plausible controls, we predicted global patterns of plate motions using numerical models that incorporate the influence of subducting slabs, convective mantle flow, and continental roots. From the mantle convection models, we computed a set of dynamically consistent plate velocities by balancing forces that drive and resist the motion of each plate. When deep continental roots anchor to the sub‐asthenospheric upper mantle, the calculated patterns of plate motions are close to the observations if only ∼20% of (excess) upper mantle slab weight contributes to the slab pull force. However, this small contribution causes plates to move too slowly on average unless mantle viscosity is a factor of ∼2 lower than expected from post‐glacial rebound. In contrast, we show that predicted and observed plate motions are more easily reconciled if even the deepest continental roots are underlain by a low‐viscosity layer and at least half of (excess) upper mantle slab weight contributes to the slab pull force. This preferred scenario agrees with recent seismological evidence for a global asthenosphere and previously proposed mechanisms for partial decoupling of slabs from surface plates.
Knee Flexion While Walking Exceeds Knee Flexion Contracture in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Flexed knee gait is commonly related to contractures in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Therefore, knee position while walking was compared with passive knee extension and explored with respect to functional mobility. Gait was assessed with 3D motion analysis in 30 children with bilateral spastic CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I–III, and in 22 typically developing (TD) children. Knee angle at initial contact (KneeAngleIC) was greater than knee flexion in stance (MinKneeFlexSt) in all groups. MinKneeFlexSt exceeded knee contractures at GMFCS levels II and III. Both KneeAngleIC and MinKneeFlexSt were greater at GMFCS II and III than at GMFCS I and the TD group. The excessive knee flexion while walking at GMFCS II and III could not be explained by knee joint contractures. Functional mobility measured with the timed-up-and-go test took longer in children at GMFCS level III compared to the other groups, assumed to be explained by the energy-requiring flexed knee gait and spatial insecurity. Discriminating between passive knee extension at the physical assessment and maximum knee extension while weight bearing may contribute to further understanding of flexed knee gait and its causes in ambulating children with spastic bilateral CP.
