Authors:   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Lianage Asanka , Yasak Mohd Fuad ,   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia
Published: April 2023

This project presents prototype of vehicle window using the detection of raindrop sensor in order to reduce heat trapped in the prototype. This project will investigate the effectiveness of heat dissipation at different opening gap of power window. The climate seasons are almost the same throughout all year. Temperature are uniformly high throughout the year, it can range up to 33°C and drop as low as 23°C. Meanwhile, the mean annual rainfall of Malaysia is approximately 2540mm. Since high number of houses in Malaysia does not have garage to park their vehicle inside, the temperature of the car cabin can reach a high temperature when the weather is hot. The rise in temperature in the vehicle cabin is caused by the ultraviolet ray from the sun that passes through the window and windscreen of the vehicle. The amount of ultraviolet ray passing through can be reduced by tinting the window but it is not effective. The propose mechanism for the prototype of vehicle window to reduce the interior cabin temperature. Finally, evaluate the effectiveness of the prototype vehicle window mechanism in reducing the interior cabin temperature. Studies will be conducted to investigate the factors of increasing temperature inside the car cabin. A prototype of vehicle window will be built to propose the mechanism. To evaluate the effectiveness of the prototype vehicle window mechanism in reducing the interior temperature is done by conducting 2 experiments. By doing this project, the prototype has proven that the implementation of automated power window to dissipate heat is effective with the use of raindrop sensor.

An automatic seat belt release system is provided for installation in conjunction with the vehicle's seat belt system. In the event that the vehicle sustains an impact of sufficient magnitude to necessitate the emergency release of the seat belt system, an electrically operated actuator located near the seat belt is actuated to release the seat belt system after 5 seconds time interval. The aim of this study is to design and develop coding language for Auto ReleaseSeatbelt System. The system for Auto Release Seatbelt is installed inside the passenger cabin and the release mechanism fixed at the seatbelt buckle. The system is tested after the installation on a multipurpose vehicle(MPV). The 12V cigarette lighter socket is used to power the system. A crash collision impact sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a developer board, and a solenoid actuator comprise in the designed emergency release system. The crash collision impact sensor identifies when the vehicle collides, and the gyroscope sensor determines the vehicle's orientation after the impact, if the gyroscope detects no change in orientation, it triggers the development board's preset timer. The solenoid is activated to press the custom release mechanism that will remove the seat belt once the specified time period has passed.

Lubricants predominantly used to reduce friction and gain smooth functioning of a vehicle. Biodegradable lubricants are perceived to be alternative to mineral oil lubricants because of their properties and biodegradability. This review paper discusses the effect of biodegradable lubrication in term of emission performance, wear, friction and viscosity effect to the internal combustion engine using multiple types of biodegradable lubrications. Bench wear test was conducted using Yamaha, ET 950 to carry out the effect of the biolubricant in spark ignition (SI) engine. The bench test was conducted under several conditions: pressure, 3.0 MPa; sliding speed, 0.20 m/s; sliding stroke, 80 mm; room temperature, >25°C. The second experiment were conducted with 100 percentage SAE 40, palm oil and palm oil (14%) + castor oil (86%) blend as its crankcase lubricant using four stroke compression ignition (CI) engine.A thermocouple was used to measure the parameters temperature every 5 minutes’interval with the engine operating for an hour under no load, 2.5 kg, 5 kg, and 7 kg load condition. The emission performance was run using neem oil blends as samples. The brief discussion is made on emission performance, fuel efficiency, viscosity index and coefficient of friction. Also, deduction was made for the temperature of crank case oil, coolant and the exhaust gas.

Published: April 2023

Nowadays, drone technology is seen to be rapidly advancing in various fields and applications including photography, military, transportation, sports, and many more. Therefore, each drone designs require different aerodynamic requirements, which includes different types of propeller designs. By revolving and generating airflow, the propellers give drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) a lift force or thrust. This work examines the method to calculate the thrust force generated by propellers using the Blade Element Momentum Analysis which is programmed in MATLAB. This program is developed to perform the calculation of thrust and torque for a given propeller blade geometry. This investigation compares the thrust coefficient produced by different propeller designs a various rotation speeds and parameters using the extended blade element momentum theory. Five different types of propellers are analysed and simulated using the in-house MATLAB program. The effects of rotational speeds are then added to these databases. At low advance ratios compared to a generic blade element-momentum model, a considerable improvement in modelling accuracy is seen when results are compared to experimental ones. The calculation may overestimate performance by 5% to 10%.

The present work presents a comparative study on the longitudinal dynamic’s stability behavior for two aircraft models, namely the Learjet 24 and the Cessna 182. The longitudinal flight dynamics behaviors are evaluated by introducing a disturbance to the elevator. This device uses a single doublet impulse as well as multiple doublet impulses. The governing equation of longitudinal flight motion, which was derived based on a small perturbation theory and a linearized process by dropping the second order and above to the disturbance quantities, allowed one to formulate the governing equation of flight motion in the form of an equation known as the longitudinal equation of flight motion. This equation describes the flight behavior of an aircraft and can be expressed in the disturbance quantity as translational velocity in the x-direction u, angle of attack 𝛼, and pitch angle 𝜃. The implementation in the case of the Cessna 182 and the Learjet 24, where the Cessna 182 uses a single doublet impulse or a multiple doublet impulse, demonstrates that the aircraft response in these three variable states is better than that of the Learjet 24.

An Assessment of Long-Term Urban Heat Island Impact on Istanbul’s Climate
Authors: Baykara Metin
Published: April 2023

Istanbul with its high urban population increase and rapid rate of its unplanned urbanization, it is critical to investigate the relations between urban heat island, population growth, and changes in the urban land use. The aim of this work is to study the local climate change and the effects of urbanization on urban climate of megacity Istanbul. Temporal variations of urban heat island (UHI) and UHI intensity in Istanbul were analyzed by using air temperature data measured by five meteorology stations for the period of 1951–2020. Minimum, maximum, and mean temperature data of Istanbul were used to understand the possible impacts of urbanization on the climate of the megacity. In addition, Corine Land Cover (CLC) datasets for the years 1990, 2000, 2012, and 2018, were used to visualize the spread of urban cover throughout the city. Seasonal observations data were statistically tested for monotonic trends. Significant upward trends in temperature were found in all selected stations, both rural and urban. The air temperature in urban areas, densely populated residential areas of the Istanbul, has increased more in years compared to its rural parts. The results showed an increase of night time (minimum temperature) temperature in both urban and rural stations between 0.010 – 0.047 °C yr-1 and an increase of daytime (maximum temperature) in all stations between 0.026 – 0.034 °C yr-1. The urban heat island impact increased over Istanbul with the expansion of the urban areas toward rural areas further reducing green areas.
Comparison of Maritime and Road Transportations in Emissions Perspective: A Review Article
Authors: Nusa Kevın , Kodak Gizem
Published: April 2023

The international maritime organization (IMO) in its attempt to avert a global environmental crisis continues to provide policies to mitigate anthropogenic emissions from the transport industry. The greenhouse gas emissions from the transport industry are relatively large, alarming, and continue to raise. Therefore, it is the focal point for the fight against global warming. This article centers on transport emissions from transportation modes with a particular focus on ocean-going vessels and road vehicles. The aim is to conduct a literature review that beams a search on emissions comparison between marine vessels and general road vehicles as a means to support a modal shift from an environmental perspective. Thus, it is aimed to create a source for future studies and to contribute to the literature. For this purpose, X articles published between 2012-2022 were reached with the keywords "ship emissions", "road emissions", "GHG emissions" and "environmental sustainability", and 7 articles focusing on ship and road transportation were filtered out of them. Obtained results support the conclusion that ships contribute relatively little to the transport emissions footprint, given the enormous volume of cargo carried. In other words, environmental sustainability can be achieved through a possible modal shift from road transport to ship transport.

Non-fungible tokens, decentralized autonomous organizations, Web 3.0, and the metaverse in education: From university to metaversity
Authors: Sutikno Tole
Published: April 2023

The pandemic has accelerated technological advances in higher education. Learning management systems that make use of the persistent platform, a wide range of communication options, and profoundly immersive qualities quickly become the platform of choice for learning management systems. The blockchain enables non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and uses the blockchain architecture to validate college diplomas and transcripts, opening the way for a diverse variety of e-portfolios owned and shared by students and teachers. Another type of blockchain that is relatively new to the education scene is decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Through this, technology courses, certificates, and more can become automated and authenticated on the blockchain. The current state of the web is rapidly evolving into what is known as Web 3.0. It is the emerging evolution of the internet to make it machine-readable, which includes leveraging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the cloud, and distributed ledger technologies such as blockchain. From the perspectives of the university and the metaverse, this paper discusses the shift in education brought about by NFTs, DAOs, Web 3.0, and the metaverse. The powerful mix of Web 3.0 and the metaverse is about to revolutionize the way people learn and teach in the modern world.
What is Information? The Nature and Meaning of Information in Biology, Psychology, Culture, and Physics
Authors: Kennedy James E.
Published: April 2023

Information processing underlies all life and is a defining characteristic of life. Concepts of information are also increasingly proposed as underlying or having a role in the mysteries of quantum physics. However, scientific progress is hindered by different concepts, terminology, and assumptions about information in different branches of science and technology. The purpose of this paper is to identify and explore fundamental concepts of information that are applicable throughout the wide spectrum of uses of the term. The terms symbolic information and physical information are used here to distinguish between two fundamentally different concepts of information. Symbolic information is based on symbols created by living entities as part of processes for perception, memory, communication, purposeful action, or planning. Symbolic information has three components: symbolic representation, media, and interpretational infrastructure. Symbolic information is the mechanism for living entities to generate variability, adaptability, and creativity from the fixed, relatively deterministic forces of physics. Symbolic information processing is the fundamental reason that living systems have properties that are categorically different from the properties of nonliving matter. Living systems have layer upon layer of interacting symbolic information processing, from reproduction to imagination, creativity, and culture. The term physical information is used here for the concept that any physical non-uniformity, difference, or distinction is information. Physical information is a descriptive property of the distribution of matter and energy. Physical information is conceptually related to entropy in physics and does not consider whether different physical states have meaning for living beings or were created by living entities for use as symbols. The failure to distinguish between symbolic information and physical information often results in ambiguous, misleading concepts that (a) imply nonliving processes have properties of life, (b) undervalue the essential role of interpretation for symbolic information, and (c) do not recognize the creative potential of symbolic information processing. If the term information is proposed as an explanatory factor in physics, any implications that nonliving processes encode or interpret information must be carefully justified in context of the differences between symbolic and physical information.

Time to get attention: The effect of temporal focus on health, income and happiness
Authors: Zheng Yeqiu , Gu Yan , van Soest Arthur
Published: April 2023

We study the effect of people’s cultural temporal focus (habits of attending to past or future events) on their health, labour market performance and happiness. Participants’ (N=1177) data were initially collected in 2016 and then again in a follow-up study in 2020-2021. We find that habitually more attending to the future is negatively associated with diseases (heart attack; high cholesterol; diabetes; high-blood pressure; Covid19), but positively with health-related behaviour (eating vegetables and fruit; less smoking), health status (e.g., healthy weight; long life expectancy), income, hourly wage, financial satisfaction and happiness. Furthermore, such temporal values predict participants’ future situation of these aspects of well-being in 2020-2021, even after controlling for the 2016 baseline situation, IQ, self-control, patience, risk aversion and demographic information. Given that habitually attending to the past is likely to lead people to give less priority to the future compared to the past, we propose a temporal values and well-being hypothesis: Temporal values have consequences for people’s planning and behaviour, thus influencing individuals’ concurrent and longitudinal overall well-being. Our findings have strong implications for theories of time perception, measurements of temporal values, and for a better understanding of factors that influence people’s health, income, and happiness.
When will one help? Understanding audience intervention in online harassment of women journalists
Authors: Lu Shuning , Luqiu Luwei Rose
Published: April 2023

While online harassment directed towards women journalists are under wide discussion, the mechanism of audience intervention in stopping online harassment is less explored. Integrating bystander invention, ambivalent sexism, and social identity theories, we propose and test an integrative framework of audience intervention in online harassment of women journalists. Results from an online experiment in Hong Kong showed that type of harassment, ideological similarity between the audience member and the harassed journalist, and the presence of other responsive bystanders could shape the appraisal of harassment incidents and willingness to intervene. The study advances the literature by clarifying the contextual nuances and challenges of audience intervention in online harassment of women journalists. It bears practical implications on how to defend women journalists so as to protect press freedom, cultivate journalist-audience relationship, and enhance an inclusive and egalitarian online space.

Democratization of Book Publishing in Nigeria: An Analysis of Self-Publishing from a Digital Intermediation Perspective
Authors: Afolabi Abdulrasheed Adebola
Published: April 2023

Communication is a fundamental human right, so everyone who has a story to tell should be able to do so. However, the gatekeeping processes involved in the traditional model of publishing do not make it possible for every voice or story to end up as a book in the hands of readers. This practice is firmly rooted in the “survival of fittest” syndrome which ensures that only manuscripts that assures profits for publishers make it to the book market. As a reaction, marginalized authors at the receiving end of this practice are leveraging on digital technologies to by-pass publishers and connect directly with readers, leading to an increasing rise in self-publishing. While past studies have captured the role of digital technologies in reducing the intermediating role of book publishers between authors and readers, how this intermediation sets the pace for and enhances self-publishing practice in a developing African country like Nigeria has received scant attention. Based on the argument that democratized book publishing promotes literary diversity, this study reviews trends in self-publishing in Nigeria. Analysis reveals that self-publishing has become firmly established as a digital-led publishing model in the country. Recommendations are offered on standardizing self-publishing in the emerging Nigerian digital economy, including the relevance of strategic digital and social media marketing.
Larangan Menghina (Body Shaming)
Authors: Assidiq Ahmed Mugifar
Published: April 2023

Body shaming atau tindakan merendahkan bentuk fisik seseorang yang dianggap tidak sesuaidengan standar kecantikan yang diinginkan oleh masyarakat, menjadi fenomena yang semakin marak terjadi di era modern ini. Namun, sebenarnya tindakan body shaming bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai Islam yang menganjurkan untuk menghargai dan menghormati sesame manusia tanpa memandang status, warna kulit, dan bentuk fisiknya. Oleh karena itu, buku ini akan membahas tentang larangan body shaming dalam perspektif hadis Nabi Muhammad SAW. Hadis-hadis yang berkaitan dengan penghinaan terhadap seseorang berdasarkan fisiknya akan dianalisis dan diinterpretasikan secara mendalam, serta bagaimana dampak negatif dari body shaming terhadap kesehatan mental dan spiritual seseorang. Dengan memahami perspektif Islam tentang larangan body shaming, diharapkan kita sebagai umat Islam dapat menjaga akhlak dan sikap yang baik terhadap sesama manusia. Pada saat ini, media sosial dan industri kecantikan menjadi faktor utama yang memperkuat standar kecantikan yang sangat sempit dan tidak realistis. Hal ini berdampak pada terjadinya body shaming yang semakin meningkat, terutama di kalangan remaja dan kaum perempuan. Padahal, Islam mengajarkan untuk tidak menghakimi seseorang hanya berdasarkan penampilannya, melainkan harus dilihat dari kebaikan dan kualitas dirinya sebagai seorang manusia. Dalam mempelajari ilmu hadis, kita dapat menemukan banyak hadis yang menjelaskan tentang pentingnya menghargai dan menghormati sesama manusia tanpa memandang bentuk fisiknya.

Published: April 2023

BackgroundChildren in institutional care have a high risk to experience childhood adversities (CAs), with consequences for physical and mental well-being. The long-term effects of CAs on the brain, including consequences for neuronal plasticity and sleep, are poorly understood. This study examined the interplay between stress (including CAs), sleep, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a prominent marker for neuronal plasticity. MethodParticipants (N=131, mean age = 26.33.4 years, 40 females) with residential youth-care history completed questionnaires measuring CAs (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, CTQ), psychological well-being (World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index, WHO-5), and sleep disturbances (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory, PSQI). Hair cortisol and serum BDNF concentration were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The analyses were conducted by using bootstrap regression models. ResultsThere was no association of stress parameters or sleep with BDNF concentration. However, we found a significant association of CAs and well-being with sleep disturbances. Last, we found an association between CAs and BDNF in sleep-healthy but not sleep-disturbed participants.ConclusionOur findings emphasize the importance of sleep quality in the association between stress and BDNF. Still, further studies are warranted using vulnerable groups at-risk to understand long-term effects on mental health and sleep.

DISCUSSION OF PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS BASED ON INTELLIGENT DATA ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY UNDER THE BACKGROUND OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Petra
Published: April 2023

Background: In the past few years since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the public has been under tremendous pressure. Family, career, emotions, and other aspects are constantly pressing people’s psychological defense of life. Modern urban governance is a centralized reflection of the urban space carrier and resource platform. Strengthening the public’s guidance on mental health problems is conducive to promoting the modernization of urban governance system and governance capacity, improving the level of urban governance and the ability of grassroots to resolve conflicts. Subjects and methods: To study people’s psychological changes and endurance in this situation, relieve the psychological pressure caused by the novel coronavirus outbreak, and ensure people’s mental health, we propose an assessment method for psychological health based on data intelligent analysis, which is used to solve public mental health problems in modern urban governance. First, we extract information on sleep quality and physical exercise of people in pandemic areas through an online questionnaire survey. Then, we can achieve an overall picture of the public’s mental state in the COVID-19 pandemic by analyzing the psychological changes of public and the aggregated information. Results: To evaluate the performance of the public mental state management method proposed in this study, we invited 1000 people to complete a comparative experiment of a questionnaire survey on the Internet. The questionnaire included information about physical activity at home and sleep quality. Home exercise information mainly includes exercise duration and exercise mode, while sleep quality information includes sleep score, sleep duration, and proportion of deep sleep. Conclusion: Through experiments, we find that the method we propose can realize the accurate identification and analysis of the changes of people’s psychological conditions in modern cities. Moreover, it can provide data support and technical support for people’s psychological counseling under the background of the novel coronavirus pandemic

Published: April 2023

Acute malnutrition is a persistent global health problem affecting 17 million children globally. Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) – defined by anthropometric indicators and presence of oedema– is the most serious form of acute malnutrition and is associated with a high risk of mortality. Treatment for cases of uncomplicated SAM is recommended on an outpatient basis through the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme. While this approach has increased treatment coverage and recovery outcomes, high relapse rates have been reported. Several risk factors for SAM relapse, such as insufficient food intake, inadequate care practices, and high infectious disease burden in the community, have been identified. However, the role of household drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) remains unclear. This systematic review: 1) assesses the effectiveness of WASH interventions on preventing SAM relapse and 2) identifies WASH-related risk factors associated with SAM relapse among children aged 6 to 59 months discharged from outpatient treatment programmes. We performed electronic searches of seven databases to identify relevant studies published between 1 January 2000 and 1 April 2023 and assessed their quality. We identified only three studies ranging from low- to medium-quality. One intervention study found that providing a WASH kit during SAM outpatient treatment did not reduce risk of relapse. Two observational studies found mixed results on household WASH risk factors – unimproved sanitation and unsafe drinking water – for SAM relapse. Despite the paucity of evidence, the hypothesised causal pathways between WASH and risk of relapse remain plausible. Further research is needed to investigate if and how WASH conditions contribute to the risk of SAM relapse following outpatient treatment.

Dalam hadits Arbain Nawawi, Rasulullah saw pernah bersabda “Addinu al-Nasihaat” yang berarti “agama adalah komitmen”. Kitab Arbain Nawawi berisi kumpulan hadits yang banyak diajarkan di pengajian masjid/musholla ketika bulan Ramadhan. “Addinu al-nasihat, qulna liman ya Rasulullah? Lillahi, walikitabihi, walirasulihi, wali aimmatil muslimin, waammatihim”. Agama adalah komitmen kepada Allah, kepada kitab-Nya, Rasul-Nya, pemimpin-pemimpin Islam, dan kaum muslimin pada umumnya.
Stratifikasi Sosial Dalam Metode Komparatif Berdasarkan Hadis
Authors: Karna
Published: April 2023

Fenomena stratifikasi (tingkatan-tingkatan) social adalah satu bentuk variasi kehidupan mereka yang menonjol dari berbagai perbedaan kehidupan manusia. Perbedaan itu tidak sematamata ada, tetapi melalui proses; suatu bentuk kehidupan (bisa berupa gagasan, nilai, norma, aktifitas sosial, maupun benda-benda) akan ada dalam masyarakat karena mereka menganggap bentuk kehidupan itu benar, baik dan berguna untuk mereka. Fenomena dari stratifikasi sosial ini akan selalu ada dalam kehidupan manusia, sesederhana apapun kehidupan mereka, tetapi bentuknya mungkin berbeda satu sama lain, semua tergantung bagaimana mereka menempatkannya.Biasanya keadaan ini muncul dikarenakan beberapa sebab, antara lain dikarenakan oleh kehidupan sosial masyarakat tersebut, maupun kehidupan ekonomi masyarakat. Menurut Pitirim A. Sorokin (1957:23) mengemukakan Stratifikasi sosial adalah pembedaan penduduk atau masyarakat ke dalam kelas-kelas secara bertingkat (hierarkis). Perwujudannya adalah adanya lapisan-lapisan di dalam masyarakat. Setiap lapisan itu disebut dengan strata sosial. Ditambahkan bahwa stratifikasi sosial merupakan ciri yang tetap pada setiap kelompok sosial yang teratur. Lapisan-lapisan di dalam masyarakat memang tidak jelas batas-batasnya, tetapi tampak bahwa setiap lapisan akan terdiri atas individu-individu yang mempunyai tingkatan atau strata sosial yang secara relatif adalah sama.

We investigated (1) what psychological (e.g., five big personality traits, self-esteem) and social-demographic factors contribute to the prevalence and intensity of drug use in the Netherlands and (2) the impact of taking illicit drugs on individuals’ (N=1170) health, labour market performance and financial wealth. First, analyses of various factors showed that emotional stability, employment status, urban character of the place of residence, number of children, gender, and compliance with parents can predict individuals’ drug use concurrently. Particularly, emotional stability, employment and gender can still predict drug use four years later, even when the concurrent baseline of drug use has been additionally controlled for. Instrumental variable analysis suggested that emotional stability may have a causal effect. Furthermore, we showed that, controlling for standard demographic factors, self-control, patience, risk aversion, IQ, etc., taking drugs negatively relate to participants’ physical health (e.g., general health, BMI, disease days, diabetes, and recurrent complaints) and mental health (e.g., feeling more depressed and anxious; less happy or calm), as well as predicts a significantly lower employment possibilities, income, and financial wealth than non-drug users. Our results not only show the consequences of taking drugs for different aspects of well-being, but also suggest that an intervention for drug users may also give more importance to their emotional stability and employment opportunities.

Los espacios de sociabilidad heterotópicos: algunos casos para la comprensión de la cultura política de las élites en Colombia, 1930 – 1945
Authors: Restrepo-Zapata Juan-David
Published: April 2023

Este artículo analiza los espacios de sociabilidad de las élites liberales colombianas durante la República Liberal, tales como clubes, cafés y las llamadas casas liberales, frecuentados por actores vinculados y reconocidos como círculos de poder, que desarrollaban y producían alianzas y conflictos. Estos eran espacios donde se conseguía tomar decisiones o llevar temas a la agenda pública en el contexto de la sociedad de masas, de la fricción entre tradición y modernidad, o de los discursos del orden conservador, socialista o liberal-capitalista. La observación de estos espacios permite ubicar centralidades, conexiones, patrones o mecanismos de selección y vinculación, así como de control de la opinión y cultura política de la época, descentrando la mirada de las tradicionales formas de ver lo político, y al mismo tiempo, proponiéndolo como parte de una trialéctica entre la sociedad, el tiempo y el espacio.
DESENTRALISASI DI INDONESIA
Authors: Darmawan Aman
Published: April 2023

Desentralisasi telah menjadi agenda penting dalam pembangunan di Indonesia sejak awal tahun 2000-an. Tujuan utama dari desentralisasi adalah untuk meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan publik, mempercepat pembangunan daerah, dan memperkuat partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengambilan keputusan. Sejak diberlakukannya undang-undang desentralisasi pada tahun 1999, Indonesia telah melakukan berbagai upaya untuk memperkuat desentralisasi di seluruh provinsi dan kabupaten/kota. Namun, meskipun sudah berjalan selama lebih dari 20 tahun, tantangan dan permasalahan masih terus muncul dalam implementasi desentralisasi di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk melakukan tinjauan pustaka tentang desentralisasi di Indonesia. Artikel ini membahas definisi, tujuan, dan jenis desentralisasi yang ada di Indonesia. Selain itu, artikel ini juga membahas beberapa keuntungan dan tantangan dalam implementasi desentralisasi di Indonesia, seperti masalah koordinasi antarlembaga, kurangnya sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas di daerah, dan kesenjangan ekonomi antara daerah yang masih besar. Artikel ini juga memberikan gambaran tentang upaya-upaya yang telah dilakukan pemerintah dalam meningkatkan efektivitas desentralisasi di Indonesia, seperti pemberian dana transfer, program pemberdayaan masyarakat, dan peningkatan kapasitas aparatur pemerintah daerah. Kesimpulan artikel ini adalah bahwa desentralisasi merupakan proses yang kompleks dan masih memerlukan perhatian serius dari pemerintah dan masyarakat dalam upaya memperbaiki kualitas pelayanan publik dan mempercepat pembangunan daerah. Diperlukan juga upaya untuk meningkatkan kapasitas aparatur pemerintah daerah dan memperkuat koordinasi antarlembaga agar implementasi desentralisasi dapat berjalan lebih efektif.
Pembentukan Peraturan Daerah
Authors: Mustapa Rasdiana , Fadillah Nur
Published: April 2023

Peraturan daerah merupakan salah satu jenis aturan undang-undang di jenjang daerah yang dibuat oleh pimpinan daerah, baik wilayah provinsi ataupun daerah kabupaten/kota serta DPRD provinsi maupun Kabupaten/Kota. Perda menekankan pada kewenangan daerah untuk membuat peraturan daerah, sedangkan aturan undang-undang lainnya secara teknis lebih jauh membatasi kapasitas tersebut. Konsekuensinya, Perda yang dibuat tidak berbenturan dengan aturan undang-undang atau kepetingan umum. Penciptaan daerah tidaklah sederhana karena membutuhkan informasi dan kesadaran relatif, khususnya tentang pembuatannya.
