Authors: Sugiharto Adam , Riany Yulina Eva
Published: June 2024

Efforts to realize quality human and family resources can be achieved through optimizing the implementation of the eight family functions. This research was conducted to analyze what kind of family characteristics and at what socio-economic level are the families receiving contribution assistance in Indonesia, as well as to examine the extent of knowledge about the eight functions of the family in families receiving contribution assistance. This study uses longitudinal secondary data from the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan Performance Indicator Survey. Data processing and analysis were carried out descriptively and inferentially using cross tabulation and regression testing. The study included 943,004 individual respondents. The result show that the higher the socioeconomic class of the family, the higher the knowledge about the eight family functions, this is statistically very significant as evidenced by the P value below 0.05, with a coefficient of 0.676. It is surprising that this study states that family size has no significant effect on socioeconomic class. Study proves that when the PBI Contribution recipient family data is regressed with socioeconomic class, the low economic class is positively correlated with a coefficient value of 0.481 and is statistically significant with a 95 percent confidence level and below 0.05, which is 0.000, meaning that in low socioeconomic families, they are the largest recipients of PBI contributions.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, economic pressures have forced families to make various adjustments to maintain their well-being. This study investigated economic coping strategies and the subjective well-being of families during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 1,125 families in Indonesia participated in an online survey using Google Forms and spoke through social media.  The research shows that families experienced a decrease in income, which encouraged them to adopt various economic coping strategies. The coping strategy adopted was cutting expenses while increasing income, mainly by utilizing hobbies or skills. Income changes, education, poverty status, savings withdrawal, selling or pawn assets, asking for aid, and borrowing money significantly influenced subjective well-being. Differences in subjective well-being can be observed in economic status, education level, and changes in income. Changes in income and higher education positively affected subjective well-being. Poverty status also had a negative effect on subjective well-being negatively.

Social skills are abilities that adolescents need to possess to form an attitude of empathy and social awareness. Adolescents acquire these social skills through good inter-family interactions at home. This study aimed to analyze the interaction between adolescents, parents, and peers, as well as the use of social media on social skills. This study involved 100 late adolescents aged 18–21 years throughout Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional design and a survey method with a questionnaire tool using a Google form distributed during April 2022. The study results showed that the quality of adolescent-parent and peer interactions, use of social media, and social skills were moderate. The correlation test results showed a positive relationship between adolescent-parent and peer interactions and the use of social media with social skills. The regression test results showed a positive effect of adolescent-peer interaction and the use of social media on social skills. The conclusion was that the better the quality of adolescent interactions with peers and the use of social media, the greater the improvement in social skills. This research implies that a community that involves youth in social activities through Karang Taruna can provide youth with the opportunity to hone their social skills.

Authors: Aziizah Nidaa Fauziyyatun Nur , Latifah Melly
Published: June 2024

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that can disrupt children's growth and development, one of which is social-emotional development. This research generally aims to analyze the influence of parenting style and social-emotional stimulation on children's social-emotional development. The research design uses explanatory survey methods. The research involved 41 stunting toddlers and 41 non-stunting toddlers aged 2-3 years and their mothers as main caregivers who were selected purposively and lived in Cibodas Village, Rumpin District, Bogor Regency, West Java on July 2023. Data were processed and analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2016 software and IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Statistics 26 software. The results show that stunting toddlers are more commonly found in boys, families with low-educated mothers and fathers, and low incomes. Even so, in this study no significant different test results were found. The results of the correlation test show that age of father and mother is significantly positively related to authoritative parenting style. It can be interpreted that as father and mother get older, the authoritative parenting style is possibly applied more frequently. The results of the regression test show that authoritative parenting styles and social-emotional stimulation have a significant positive effect on social-emotional development. The application of good authoritative parenting style and social-emotional stimulation will improve social-emotional development in both stunting and non-stunting children.

The roasting process using high heat will decrease the quality of fat and can produce toxic compounds that are mutagenic and carcinogenic to the body if consumed over a long period of time. This study aims to analyze the effect of roasting on chevon fat. The roasting process in this study was carried out using charcoal with a distance of 5 cm between the charcoal and the fat for 10 minutes. The observed test parameters were acid value, free fatty acids, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using a T-test based on the treatment of chevon fat before and after roasting. The results showed that the acid value and free fatty acid value of the fat after roasting were significantly (P<0.05) higher than before roasting, while the MDA value was not significantly different (P>0.05). This study indicates a change in the quality of chevon fat after roasting.

Published: June 2024

The Generalized Space-Time Autoregressive (GSTAR) model is an extension of the Space-Time Autoregressive (STAR) model. The difference between the two models lies in the parameter assumptions. In the STAR model, the parameters are assumed to be independent of location, so this model is only suitable for data with homogeneous locations. Meanwhile in the GSTAR model, the parameters are assumed to change for each different location. This research aims to develop the best model for forecasting the Rupiah exchange rate against the Singapore Dollar, Thai Baht, and Philippine Peso. The appropriate model used for the Rupiah exchange rate data is the GSTAR(51)I(1) model. The weights used in this study are uniform location weights and inverse distance. The modeling results show that the best model is the model with inverse distance weighting, which has an MSE value of 371.8907 with MAPE values for each of the Rupiah exchange rate data against the Singapore Dollar, Thai Baht, and Philippine Peso of 0.3154214%, 0.8369436%, and 0.6237245%, respectively.

Published: July 2024

This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing research on the impact of capital structure on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The study synthesizes and analyzes findings from various studies to identify key trends, gaps, and areas for future research. The SLR covers factors influencing SMEs' capital structure decisions, including internal factors like company size, profitability, and growth opportunities, and external factors such as market conditions, industry characteristics, and regulatory environment. Our findings reveal that the capital structure significantly affects SMEs' financial performance and sustainability. Debt financing offers growth potential but increases financial risk, while equity financing provides stability and reduces risk but dilutes ownership. The optimal mix of debt and equity varies based on specific SME characteristics and external conditions. Additionally, the capital structure influences SMEs' ability to attract external financing and impacts their overall growth and profitability. The review also highlights the need for more focused research on the determinants of capital structure in SMEs, the role of external financing sources, and the relationship between capital structure and firm performance over time. Longitudinal studies and investigations into macroeconomic factors' impact on SMEs' capital structure decisions are recommended for future research.

Authors: Yeon Kim Eun , Eun Lee Sang , Yoon Seol Hye
Published: June 2024

This study explores speech recognition characteristics in background noise and music between normal hearing (NH) listeners, hearing aid (HA) users and cochlear implant (CI) users.Sixty individuals participated in the study: 20 with NH, 20 HA users, and 20 CI users. HA and CI users had a Categories of Auditory Performance score of 6 and open set sentence recognition of 85% or higher. They had been using the devices for at least one year. Babble noise (BN), piano solo (PS), piano + violin (PV), and piano + chorus (PC) were presented at +5- and +10 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The participants were asked to listen and repeat words and sentences from the Korean Standard Sentence List for Adults. At +5- and +10 dB SNRs, CI users performed worse than those with NH on word and sentence recognition in BN, PS, PV, and PC. HA users outperformed CI users in all conditions. Those with NH showed better sentence recognition than HA users across all conditions at +5 dB SNR and better word recognition in PV and BN at +5 dB SNR and in PC at +10 dB SNR. Correlational analysis revealed that the percentage of life with hearing loss before CI was not correlated with sentence and word recognition across all conditions in both SNRs. Statistically significant negative correlations were observed between the duration of deafness and sentence and word recognition in some conditions. Despite individuals with HL performing well on clinical tests, background music can still interfere with communication for those using hearing devices. To accurately evaluate individuals’ communication abilities clinical tools that include background music need to be developed. Studies using different types of music could help develop and standardize such tools for assessing speech and language abilities in individuals with hearing loss.

The energy production that still moves the world comes in the vast majority from fossil sources. However, according to renewable energy main institutions reports, the sources from which this renewable energy is being generated are hydropower with the highest percentage by far, 41.2%, followed by solar 31.2%, wind 26.4%, bioenergy 4.5%, geothermal 0.4%, and tidal with a minimum percentage of 0.02 %. Therefore, bioenergy is located as another of the promising renewable energies, but still with a very low percentage. As biomass is the main source of bioenergy, it is the renewable energy source with the greatest variety of inputs, for example, biogas from landfill or thermal processes, solid biofuels from wood, municipal waste, and crops or animal waste, and liquid biofuels from conventional and advanced bio gasoline and biodiesel, among others. The purpose of this paper is to explore and analyze the uses of biomass in some Latin American countries, offering a general reflection on this region, and to expand on the various faces of energy injustice suffered by a series of communities, and also the advances that the bioenergy sources could offer; therefore, the structure of this chapter is as follows: first, some general information and facts related to one of its inputs -the steadily growing problem of human waste production- are exposed. Then, a brief description of bioenergy advances in some Latin America countries is offered, to close with the identification of some challenges to be addressed within the domain of bioenergy and with some conclusions.

In the post-epidemic era (COVID-19) context, funding university faculty development in China and the United States faces severe challenges. From the perspective of government education grants and social donations from foundations, except for top-ranked universities, most universities have faced increasing difficulties in financing faculty development. In this context, the U.S. government and U.S. universities have promoted university–enterprise cooperation for a long time, and faculty research teams independently seek enterprises’ financial support. These efforts have effectively alleviated the problem of insufficient funding for faculty development. In doing so, these cases provide a valuable example for the funding of faculty development in China. Universities, businesses, and local governments should think about “directed cooperation subjects” from the standpoint of funding units. As a result, university instructor growth will be accomplished through a progression from “money” to “win-win cooperation” and ultimately “wisdom.” As a result, long-term collaboration is required between local governments, businesses, and academic institutions. Moreover, there are two aspects to cooperation between local governments, businesses, and academic institutions. First, collaboration tends to be closer when economic conditions are better; conversely, cooperation tends to be lower when conditions are worse. Second, cooperation is more likely when the program has greater influence.

Synthesis conditions have been established and arginin (Arg)-containing copper and chrome chelate compounds with the following general formulas: CuArgn(CH3COO)2·mH2O and CrArgn(CH3COO)3·mH2O (where n =1÷3; m=2 or 4) have been synthesized. Synthesized chelates have been studied using a number of physical and chemical research methods. In particular, their composition has been established via trace element analysis, while the individuality has been identified through melting temperature measurement and diffractographic method. Through study of qualitative solubility in different solvents there has been established that chelates are highly soluble in water and poorly soluble in organic solvents. Using the conductometric research method there has been calculated a dissociation constant of chelate compounds-containing solutions. Based on the preliminary trial tests carried out in order to study the biological activity, there is expressed an opinion that entry of arginin-containing copper and chrome chelates into composition of combined feed premixes of egg-laying (oviparous) poultry has had a positive impact on egg-laying intensity and poultry survival rate. There is given an opinion on the expediency of basic test conduct in order to determine the optimum doses of arginin-containing copper and chrome chelate compounds for egg-laying birds.

The study aimed to assess the phenolic, microbiological, and sensory aspects of a supplemental food made from malted rice, soybean, and pumpkin pulp. Paddy rice was steeped in water, germinated, kilned, winnowed, and dehulsked before being dried and milled. While to make soybean flour, the seeds were while pumpkins were washed, skinned, and chopped. The fiber and seeds were removed before slicing, then blanched, crushed, and sieved before being oven dried. The phenolic, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of the supplemental food were assessed. The results showed 1.12 to 2.25% phenolic content and 1.3x103 to 8.3 x 102 cfu/g overall viable count. Mold counts range from 0.0 x 10 cfu/g to 1 x 10 cfu/g. The study indicated that malted rice, soybean, and pumpkin pulp flour blends produce an excellent sensory rating, are inexpensive in cost, and are ready to eat complementary foods.

Published: June 2024

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign tumor with locally aggressive behavior, given the significant epistaxis it causes, frequent complications, and therapeutic complexity presented by this condition, diagnosis and treatment should be thorough; it occurs exclusively in adolescent males and accounts for 0.5%-0.05% of all head and neck tumors. This case corresponds to an 18-year-old patient with progressive respiratory difficulty over 2 years, nasal obstruction, and epistaxis. Clinical and imaging studies revealed a diagnosis of JNA at stage IIb according to Radkowski's classification. A Degloving approach was performed, and the tumor was completely removed. One year after resection, no tumor recurrence has been recorded. Conclusion: Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma predominantly affects adolescent males and is primarily characterized by recurrent episodes of epistaxis. Surgical management remains the cornerstone of treatment, with various effective approaches available. The local recurrence rate is low, underscoring the effectiveness of current interventions in most cases.
Effect of dumpsite on groundwater quality: A case study of bonny island rivers state

Published: June 2024

This study investigates the effect of dumpsite activities on groundwater quality in Bonny Island, Rivers State, Nigeria. Bonny Island, an ancient coastal city with significant economic importance due to its oil and gas industries, faces potential environmental threats from dumpsite activities. The research utilized vertical electrical sounding (VES) and 2D resistivity profiling (ERT) to assess subsurface contamination. Measurements were taken to determine the lateral and vertical spread of contaminants at the dumpsite. Complemented by laboratory analysis of groundwater samples from the two dumpsites, groundwater samples were analyzed for a range of physical, chemical, and biological parameters, such as pH, TDS, TSS, DO, Nitrates, Sulphates, Chlorides, heavy metals, and other pollutants. Results obtained indicate that the groundwater near the dumpsites exhibits varying levels of contamination. The VES and ERT profiles revealed low resistivity zones at shallow depths, indicating possible clay-rich soil or topsoil contamination from leachate. High resistivity areas in the middle depths suggest cleaner zones, but low resistivity at both ends of the profiles indicates further spread of the leachate. Laboratory analyses of groundwater sample showed that most parameters were within acceptable limits set by WHO and NSDWQ, except iron, which exceeded the permissible limit, suggesting contamination of iron at the site. These findings highlight the need for continuous monitoring and remediation efforts to prevent further deterioration of groundwater quality. This study underscores the critical importance of protecting groundwater in economically vital and ecologically sensitive regions like Bonny Island.
