A Qualitative Analysis of Using Games Learning Programs to Improve Elementary Teachers’ Application of STEM Capabilities
Authors:   National University of Tainan, Taiwan, Chen Yen Tzu , Liu Che-Hung , Lee Chih Yu
Published: August 2021

This study used CodeMonkey, an online learning platform through which elementary teachers can learn programming while playing games and experience how to integrate STEM into their courses. The study analyzed and examined their experiences using a qualitative research method. According to the research results, learning programming while playing games can encourage beginners to go all in. There are also complete guidelines on the teaching platform, so beginning learners can quickly become familiar with the interactive model, which stimulates their curiosity and changes the traditional learning method of teaching by teachers and received by students. On the whole, learning programming itself is a rigid subject. At the fundamental stage, learners can be greatly interested in learning it. However, if learners cannot understand the learning goals, the advantages gained from their self-confidence and joy of learning will no longer exist. Among beginners to the novel model of learning programming while playing games, there is no obvious difference in learning effectiveness between male and female students. Learners who actively seek to solve problems during the learning process can achieve better learning efficacy.

Complex Systems: The Science of Interacting Parts
Authors: Pessoa Luiz
Published: August 2021

The central premise of this chapter is that certain objects of study—such as the brain—cannot be neatly decomposed into a set of parts, so that each part can be understood on its own. Instead, highly networked systems need to be understood differently. The language that is required is the one of complex systems, which we now describe in intuitive terms. Whereas mathematics is needed to formalize it, illustration of its central concepts provides the reader with “intuition pumps”. Thinking in terms of complex systems frees us from the shackles of linear thinking, enabling explanations built with “collective computations” that elude simplistic narratives.
Treasuring Career from Home: The Sustainability of Women Homeworkers and Household Divisions
Authors: Anggaunitakiranantika
Published: August 2021

Women homeworkers in Indonesia also resulted in double role causes women to have double workload, namely the main work that makes money and household chores such as cleaning the house, cooking and so on. This is because women cannot leave their responsibilities in the household, yet they must continue to perform their main work. Accordingly, a discussion addressing the dual burden and mechanism of division of work between men and women in the household is needed. This research was conducted with a descriptive qualitative method aimed to describe a number of issues including how consensus was performed by women homeworkers in carrying out the division of work with men and the efforts of women homeworkers to do the division of work with their husbands in the domestic sphere. The research was conducted in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia with snowball sampling techniques on 37 women. Based on the research results, it was discovered that: 1) the division of work in the public and domestic spheres for women homeworkers was flexible; 2) Men more often did the heavy household chores such as washing and drying clothes, the division of work occurred at certain times such as in the morning; 3) Within the household, the division of work between men and women took place when the woman homeworkers’ main work piled up and could not be abandoned.
A Comparative Study on Turkey’s Science and Technology (S&T) Indicators
Authors: Gemici Evrim , Gemici Zafer
Published: August 2021

Science and technology (S&T) indicators are important in evaluating how successful countries are in factors described by endogenous growth models. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to investigate S&T indicators of Turkey in a comparative and more hitherto comprehensive study and to present a guiding reference for researchers and decision makers working on innovation and technology policies. This study was carried out using online databases such as those of the OECD, World Bank, Eurostat, and TÜİK considering the criteria used in the literature to measure countries’ R&D and innovation performances, and Turkey’s innovative performance is presented in comparison with the world’s by summarizations within the scope of the study. The results demonstrate that Turkey has made significant progress in the last 20 years in terms of R&D and innovation, but it is still far from reaching the indicators of developed countries. In particular, the increase in R&D and innovation performance has decreased due to the economic difficulties experienced in the world and in Turkey after 2012 and 2013. Based on the indicators evaluated in this study, some suggestions are given and prioritized to increase Turkey’s innovation performance.

Aesthetics for Communicative Visualization: a Brief Review
Authors: Riahi Maryam , Watson Benjamin
Published: August 2021

We present a brief and somewhat selective review of research on the applied value of aesthetics for communicative visualization. Because aesthetics research in the field of visualization is relatively new, we survey aesthetics research in closely related fields, including psychology, graphic design, and marketing. Because of space limitations, we constrain our discussion of marketing research and omit any examination of related work from human-computer interaction researchers. We conclude with implications for communicative visualization practitioners and researchers, discussing the value of aesthetics and how to achieve it, as well as the need for research on longer-term aesthetic impacts on viewers.
Advocating Women Migrant Worker’s Rights through Social Services Organizations in Malaysia
Authors: Hamidi Mashitah
Published: August 2021

Dependency on migrant workers is a growing situation in Malaysia particularly the ones from Indonesia, the world's largest non-skilled and semi-skilled worker importer. Despite their decision to migrate in order to obtain better livelihood, there are various risks faced by Indonesian migrant workers, including exploitation. To this day, the problems faced by women migrant workers are mostly dominated by documents forgery, fraud, overstay, unpaid wages, sexual abuse, involvement in criminal cases, and other rights violations that are not in accordance with the proper work contracts. Indonesian women migrant workers are often segmented to work in production sectors, such as manufacturing, service sectors such as domestic work and the cleaning industry. This study used qualitative research with in-depth interviews and participant observation to access, collect the preliminary data from the government officials, NGOs and unions related to migrant worker’s social welfare. The finding indicated that there were several migrant workers' rights that have been agreed upon to provide significant protection for migrant workers in destination countries whether they are related to employment or social security. However, with the different legal ratifications of specific countries, the destination country has the freedom to restrict any access to certain migrant workers' freedoms. In other words, protection is subject to the laws and constitutions of the country which have been formulated locally. However, in the case of migrant workers’ rights violations, most parties work together to resolve the issues. This includes establishing non-governmental organizations to curb issues of social inequality that help all parties involved.
The role of shame, threat responses, and complex trauma in the manifestation of borderline personality disorder
Authors: Wright-Bevans Melissa
Published: August 2021

This work aimed to synthesize theory and research to create a conceptual model to bridge the gap in the current debate that seeks to delineate borderline personality disorder (BPD) and complex trauma. The author critically evaluates the definitions of BPD, complex PTSD and complex trauma. Furthermore, the author draws upon recent literature that highlights the role of shame, the elevated experience of neglect and emotional abuse and the growing acknowledgement of symptomology as observed through either internalized or externalized pathways. Additionally, hierarchical trait model understandings of personality development, factor analysis into the expressions of BPD and the 4F trauma personality styles inform the framework of this model. Ultimately, looking at BPD through the lens of shame, threat and safety seeking behaviours would suggest that BPD can be best understood as the behavioral manifestation of complex trauma.
Post-LGM glacial retreat and Early Holocene monsoon intensification drives aggradation in the interiors of the Kashmir Himalaya
Authors: Dey Saptarshi , Chauhan Naveen , Chakravarti Pritha , Vashistha Anushka , Jain Vikrant
Published: August 2021

Understanding the response of glaciated catchments to climate change is crucial for assessing sediment transport from the high-elevation, semi-arid sectors in the Himalaya. The fluvioglacial sediments stored in the semi-arid Padder valley in the Kashmir Himalaya record valley aggradation during ~20 -10 ka. We relate the initial stage of valley aggradation to increased sediment supply from the deglaciated catchment during the glacial-to-interglacial phase transition. Previously-published bedrock-exposure ages in the upper Chenab River valley suggest ~180 km retreat of the valley glacier during ~20 - 15 ka. Increasing roundness of sand-grains and reducing mean grain-size from the bottom to the top of the valley-fill sequence hint about increasing fluvial transport with time and corroborate with the glacial retreat history. The later stages of aggradation can be attributed to strong monsoon during the early Holocene. Especially, the hillslope debris that drapes the fluvioglacial sediment archive may have resulted from the early Holocene monsoon maximum. We observe a net degradation of the valley-fill in the Holocene reflecting the weakening of summer monsoon or reduced input from the glaciers. Our study highlights the coupled effect of deglaciation and monsoon intensification in sediment transfer from the high-elevation sectors of the Himalaya.
Dynamic Compressive Strength and Fragmentation in Sedimentary and Metamorphic Rocks
Authors: Rae Auriol , Kenkmann Thomas , Padmanabha Vivek , Poelchau Michael , Schäfer Frank , Dörfler Matthias , Müller Louis
Published: August 2021

Brittle deformation at high strain rates results in intense fragmentation and rock pulverisation. For rocks, the critical strain rate at which this behaviour occurs is ~10^2 s-1. The mechanical properties of rocks at these strain rates can also be very different from their quasi-static properties. Deformation of rocks at these strain rates is uncommon in nature but can occur during fault rupture, landslide events, and meteorite impacts. In this study, we present results of high strain rate mechanical tests to determine the characteristic strain rate for rate-dependent brittle failure, and the fragment size and shape distributions that result from failure at these conditions. We investigated sandstone, quartzite, limestone, and marble and considered whether the fragment characteristics can be used as diagnostic indicators of loading conditions during brittle failure. We find that the characteristic strain rates, where the dynamic strength is twice the quasi-static strength, range between ~150 and 300 s-1 for rate-dependent brittle failure in the investigated lithologies. Furthermore, we use our results to demonstrate an empirical inverse power-law relationship between fragment size and strain rate for dynamic failure under uniaxial compression. On the other hand, we show that fragment shape is independent of strain rate under dynamic uniaxial loading.
When is there a more-credible effect?
Authors: Skylark William John
Published: August 2021

Hoorens and Bruckmüller (2015) reported that people are more likely to judge comparison statements to be true when the comparison is framed as \textit{A is more than B} than when it is framed as \textit{B is less than A}. Skylark (2021) recently provided further evidence for this \textit{more-credible effect}, but found that it did not emerge for all stimulus sets. In particular, there was very little effect of comparative when participants evaluated the truth of statements comparing the amount of land required to produce certain foodstuffs. The present report describes two further pre-registered studies that probe the generality of the more-credible effect. Study 1 used the same land-use comparisons as Skylark (2021) but increased the masses of the foodstuffs from 1 kilo to 1000 tons (the idea being that 'less than' framing might only reduce credibility when the compared quantities are large). A manipulation check found that the change in stated mass increased the subjective size of the items, but there was still little effect of comparative on judgments of truth: more-than statements were judged true about 3\% more often than less-than statements, and the effect was not reliably different from zero. Study 2 asked people to judge the truth of statements comparing the CO2 production of pairs of countries selected from the most polluting countries in the world. A modest, 'significant' more-credible effect emerged, with more-than framing boosting perceived truth by approximately 5\%. Exploratory cross-study comparison indicated that the more-credible effect did not meaningfully differ between the two studies. The factors that determine when, and how far, more-than framing boosts the credibility of comparative statements remains an important topic for inquiry.
Narrative thinking lingers in spontaneous thought
Authors: Bellana Buddhika , Mahabal Abhijit , Honey Christopher John
Published: August 2021

What we think about at any moment is shaped by what preceded it. Why do some experiences, such as reading an immersive story, feel as if they linger in mind for longer than others? In this study, we hypothesize that the stream of our thinking is especially affected by "deeper" forms of processing, emphasizing the meaning and implications of a stimulus rather than its immediate physical properties or low-level semantics (e.g., reading a story vs. reading disconnected words). To test this idea, we presented participants with short stories that preserved different levels of coherence (word-level, sentence-level, or intact narrative), and we measured participants’ self-reports of lingering and spontaneous word generation. Participants reported that stories lingered in their minds after reading, but this effect was greatly reduced when the same words were read with sentence or word-order randomly shuffled. Furthermore, the words that participants spontaneously generated after reading shared semantic meaning with the story’s central themes, particularly when the story was coherent (i.e., intact). Crucially, regardless of the objective coherence of what each participant read, lingering was strongest amongst participants who reported being ‘transported’ into the world of the story while reading. We further generalized this result to a non-narrative stimulus, finding that participants reported lingering after reading a list of words, especially when they had sought an underlying narrative or theme across words. We conclude that recent experiences are most likely to exert a lasting mental context when we seek to extract and represent their deep situation-level meaning.
Are Social Expectations a Possible Mechanism for Adult Personality Change: Empirical Evidence for Social Investment Theory
Authors: Hang Yuzhan , Speyer Lydia Gabriela , Lee Billy , Luciano Michelle , Mõttus René
Published: August 2021

Objective: Personality traits change in both mean levels and variance across the life span but the mechanisms underlying these developmental trends remain unclear. Social investment theory is one of the leading theories trying to explain personality maturation, suggesting that social role expectations drive personality changes in adulthood. However, there is not sufficient empirical evidence for SIT, thus the present study tested whether social expectations can explain personality maturation in young adulthood. Methods: A pool of 257 personality items, which was not driven by a priori conceptual model of personality, was used to measure young adults’ personality trait mean levels, personality variance and socially expected level of traits from different perspectives (friends, partners and bosses/supervisors). Results: There were consistent expectations for how young adults should think, feel and behave. Personality traits under stronger social expectations have higher mean levels and lower variances than traits under lower expectations; traits with stronger social expectations show higher means at later ages; and traits’ variances increase with age. Conclusion: Our results are partially consistent with SIT, suggesting that social expectations could be a potential mechanism to explain personality changes in young adulthood.
Ideology: The Psychological and Social Foundations of Belief Systems
Authors: Federico Christopher , Malka Ariel
Published: August 2021

Defining ideology as a system of functionally inter-connected political attitudes and beliefs, we review evidence concerning (1) the nature and origins of ideology in mass publics and (2) the social and interpersonal nature of the motives underlying ideological coherence. One key conclusion that we draw is that the links between psychological attributes and subsets of ideological attitudes sometimes appear to be organic and functional but other times appear to be conditional on how the relevant attitudes are packaged with other attitudes into socially constructed ideologies. A second key conclusion is that the social motives that induce citizens to pull diverse attitudes into ideological alignment may also, in polarized contexts, induce people to adopt non-political identities and self-perceptions that are congruent with ideological stereotypes. We recommend a focus on the implications of these processes for polarization and democratic stability.
The Organization of Political Belief Networks: A Cross-Country Analysis
Authors: Keskintürk Turgut
Published: August 2021

Studies on mass opinion conceptualize political ideology as an interrelated network of attitudes, beliefs and values. Using the joint dataset of European Values Study and World Values Survey collected between 2017 and 2020, I ask whether the organization of political ideology depends on the structure of political field. Consistent with the theories of social constraint, I find that in countries with high institutionalization of political parties, the organization of political opinions is more likely to be dense and consolidated. These patterns are robust to a variety of predictors between countries and the results are not sensitive to sampling variability or item selection.

The very first recruitment for a public relations practitioner in Malaysia was encountered in 1948 and was advertised by the federal government of the British Colony in Malaya. This paper examines the subsequent advertisements after Malaya sought independence from the British colonial government. A total of eleven recruitment advertisements were found before the formation of Malaysia on the 16th September 1963. This paper outlines the advertisers, the titles of positions, as well as their qualifications and duties. The results show that the job requirement mainly came from the federal and local governments. Generally, the duties were related to information services and some specific responsibilities.
Main Features of the Inter-American Convention on Violence Against Women
Authors: Çınar Müge , Saraç Enes Talha
Published: August 2021

Violence against women is worldwide in scope. It occurs in both developed and developing countries regardless of the dominant religion or political ideology. One of the major reflections of gender inequality in society is violence against women. Gender-based social violence to women is defined as gender-based violence “directed to a woman just because she is a woman or affecting women disproportionately.” Regardless of the geographical border, economic development or education level, violence against women is rather common in many cultures all around the world. As an important social problem, violence to women not only leads to physical and spiritual damage in women but also prevents them to improve themselves socially. With the Belem Do Para Convention signed in 1994, an important step was taken in this direction. Mechanisms in this convention are trying to protect. This convention provides solutions for the protection of women who have been subjected to violence, as well as protection mechanisms to prevent future harm to women.

The article reveals the essence of modern bank insurance and new challenges and prospects for development in Ukraine. The definition of "bank insurance" is theoretically substantiated and the general financial and economic characteristics of Ukrainian banks are realized. The normative indicators of commercial institutions are analyzed and the main risks affecting banking and insurance activities and the possibility of their leveling are identified. Theoretical and practical information on the process of merging the capital of banks and insurance companies, financial and economic analysis of one of the largest banks in modern Ukraine - JSC "PrivatBank", and assessed the financial stability of its insurance partners. A study of the insurance market of Ukraine with the definition of possible prospects for cooperation with the studied bank. From the calculations, it was found that PrivatBank can be recommended to find new partners for cooperation between leading companies such as AXA Insurance and Providna. It is established that banking insurance technologies have a significant place at the present stage of development of the domestic financial segment. Using a large customer base and a wide network of branches and outlets, banking experts expect that revenues from the sale of insurance products in 2021 may amount to 15% of total bank revenues, as the volume of bank insurance in "PrivatBank" is growing quite rapidly. The activity of banks in market conditions is subject to its general laws, and therefore requires the development of a viable mechanism for managing financial activities, aimed at increasing the competitiveness of banks. Thus, the ability of bank managers to determine the degree of financial stability of their own bank, competing banks and counterparties plays an important role. Therefore, one of the principles of further rapid development of the banking system of Ukraine is the search for ways to optimize the financial condition of the bank.

The catastrophic consequences of the pandemic for human health, its psychological endurance, emotional resilience and moral consciousness are striking. The results of the study show that in the near future it is necessary to prepare for overcoming the consequences of the pandemic not only in terms of medical and practical aspects, but also in terms of ethical issues. The article considers the challenges and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for the world economy, professional moral norms. Six megatrends that transform the world after the end of the pandemic, identified by the United Nations, including the advent of the big data economy: hyper-connected society; the wellbeing economy; low-carbon economy; the circular economy; the bio growth economy; the experience economy. It is noted that the likely emergence of new approaches to professional activities may create new threats or affect the level of previously identified threats to the basic principles of professional ethics and lead to certain ethical dilemmas in the performance of professional duties. These examples of the application of the basic principles of professional ethics in modern conditions will help to formulate the necessary ethical values for each person and better guide professionals in solving complex problems that currently arise in decision-making and create an ethical infrastructure that will improve the culture of business management at the operational and strategic levels. This will increase the efficiency of managing the economic development of the country. The emphasis is on the ethical responsibility of professionals in any field in the post-pandemic period. The results of the study suggest that the risk of discrediting ethics increases against the background of a pandemic. The article outlines the main directions of overcoming these challenges, trends in the development of professional ethical systems. There is a growing need for ethical regulation of professional behavior and actions in vital areas of human life.

Contribution of wavelets to cybersecurity: Intrusion detection systems using neural networks
Authors: Lazaar Saiida
Published: August 2021

The gigantic growth of the exchanged digital data has raised important security challenges. In this ecosystem, connected objects, systems and networks are exposed to various cyber threats endangering sensitive data and compromising confidentiality, integrity and authentication. Modelling intrusion detection systems (IDS) constitute an important research field with a major goal to protect targeted systems and networks against malicious activities. Many network IDS have been recently designed with artificial intelligence techniques. Signal processing techniques have been applied in network detection systems due to their ability to help for a good intrusion detection. At the same context, the wavelet transform which is considered as a very efficient tool for the decomposition and reconstruction of signals can be recommended in the design of powerful network detection systems, and can be applied for data preprocessing denoising and extracting information. Wavelets combined to neural networks can be useful for modelling intrusion detection with the main challenges to reduce the false alarms, increase the test accuracy and increase novel attacks detection rate. In this work, we present a major contribution in the research field to better understand how wavelets and neural networks can be combined for modelling efficient IDS.
A lightweight cryptographic solution to secure digital transmissions on resource-constrained environments
Authors: Lazaar Saiida
Published: August 2021

The great revolution of technology and its fast growth have led to a cyber space increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks. For this reason, cyber security becomes paramount to protect our cyber space by presenting and implementing important solutions to protect sensitive data from malicious persons. Thereby various measures of protection have been developed and aim to minimize the risks and damages of attacks. Among them, cryptography plays a vital and crucial role in protecting sensitive transmissions and electronic exchanges through complex networks. Numerous scientific studies have emerged with the advent of the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT); all of them have expressed a strong need for building secure, efficient and fast cryptosystems targeting confidentiality, integrity and authentication. The last two objectives are essentially built on hash functions which are the main components of many applications and secure networks. The purpose of this paper is to give recent advances of lightweight cryptographic solutions that meet the requirements of constrained systems, and to present a study, in terms of security, energy-consuming and efficiency, of the main hash functions standardized by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). In the end, the paper will give a comparison between the studied hash functions aiming to come up with a recommendation of good lightweight hash functions suitable for implementation in an IoT framework.
A performance comparison of lightweight cryptographic algorithms suitable for IoT transmissions
Authors: Jebrane Jihane , Lazaar Saiida
Published: August 2021

In the past decade, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged and has been of great importance in the digital world arousing the interest of the scientific community. The requirements of new small intelligent devices brought numerous security and privacy concerns. In order to secure the exchanged data through the IoT, integrity and authentication protocols are required and are usually constructed under hash functions. We notice that the most conventional cryptographic standards are not suitable for multiple platforms hardware/software. The expressed need is to construct lightweight functions and algorithms suitable for constrained environments including small devices. In this context, we propose a review of the research progress on IoT architecture. Further, we present and compare some selected lightweight cryptographic algorithms regarding security, performance, and resource requirements. The main goal of the present paper is to highlight the need to provide security systems for IoT applications through lightweight cryptographic mechanisms.

In this paper, we study an epidemic model with Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo fractional derivative. We obtain a special solution using an iterative scheme via Laplace transformation. Uniqueness and existence of a solution using the Banach fixed point theorem are studied. A detailed analysis of the stability of the special solution is presented. Finally, our generalized model in the derivative sense is solved numerically by the Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method.

Fractional calculus has been widely used in mathematical modeling of evolutionary systems with memory effect on dynamics. In order to illustrate the efficiency of this non-integer order calculus, we employ SEIR models to model the dynamics, with and without memory, of the spread of Covid-19 in Morocco country.

After the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions, Pekanbaru City enters the New Normal condition based on the Pekanbaru Mayor Circular regarding the new normal life order. The new life order policy or New Normal actually led to an increase in COVID 19 cases, therefore the Pekanbaru City Government issued a micro-scale social restriction policy, especially in sub-districts that were considered to have the highest rate of spread of COVID 19. This study aims to determine the urgency of micro-scale social restriction policy. The method in this research uses qualitative methods by collecting data sources from legal products, articles and news from the mass media as well as interviews with research sources. The results of this study indicate that the urgency of the presence of this Micro-Scale Social Restriction policy is seen in two ways. First, as an initial step for community habituation in facing the new life order or the new normal. The community is not ready to live in a new normal framework so that less-reaching habituation is needed, namely micro-scale social restrictions. Second, the micro-scale social restriction policy was able to reduce the number of health protocol violations. However, it turns out that the decrease in the number of health protocol violations has no correlation with the decrease in the number of positive COVID cases. For 2 reasons, the implementation of this policy was in fact ineffective in suppressing the spread of COVID 19 in Pekanbaru City so that its enforcement was stopped.

The theory used to analyze in this research is the Indicators of State Administration Ethics according to Surjadi, which consists of Honesty, Fairness, Obedience to Rules, Responsibility, and Fairness. The results showed that the Honesty aspect was good; this was seen from the absence of illegal levies and did not cover up the complaints obtained from the community related to being unsatisfactory in providing services. The justice aspect is not good because there is still discrimination in providing services to the community. Aspects of Obeying the Rules are still not good; this can be seen from the apparatus that does not obey the regulations, namely the discipline of working hours. Aspects of Fairness and Property are still not good, and this can be seen from the lack of friendliness of the apparatus in serving the public who ask questions related to information on making and taking Electronic ID cards. The advice given by the researcher is that the Disdukcapil of Mempawah Regency is expected to increase awareness to be ethical in providing services by making SOPs related to being ethical in providing services during the covid 19 periods.

In essence, the implementing regulations for the construction of housing and settlement areas are clear as the responsibility of the government, as has been described above that the government's role is to determine development in the field of housing and settlement areas. The central government program with 1 (one) million subsidized houses would also pay more attention to its implementation performance, so that the existing implementing regulations will not only become passive laws. In Indonesia today there are still many regulations which in the end become a symptom of problems in their own country. In the context of accelerating housing development for low-income people (MBR), the government makes simplification efforts in simplifying licensing for low-income housing development. By issuing Government Regulation Number 64 of 2016 concerning Low-Income Community Housing Development, then to accelerate its implementation in the regions, it is regulated in Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 55 of 2017 concerning the Implementation of Licensing and Non-Licensing of Housing Development for Low-Income Communities (MBR) in the Region. This study aims to determine government policies related to the implementation of MBR housing development and to determine the implementation of Housing Development Permits for Low-Income Communities (MBR) in the Regions, especially in Lahat Regency, South Sumatra Province.
