An intergovernmental network is a requirement that the region must meet in order to improve the well-being of its communities in this decentralized era. However, in its implementation, many areas in Indonesia do not do so or do not maximize cooperation, including in the border areas involving the districts of North Central Timor, Belu, and Malaka. Using explorative methods, this research was conducted to find out why cooperation between local governments was not carried out and how to promote cooperation among local governments from the perspective of sound governance. To reveal this, data is collected through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation studies, and focus group discussions (FGD). Research informants are selected from actors who are confronted with the question studied and use the method of purposive sampling. The results of the research showed that: first, maximum cooperation has not occurred since there are local governments in the border region that do not know, do not want, cannot, do not have an interest, and do not need to cooperate with other regions; however, awareness has begun to emerge to do so. Second, the process towards cooperation between regions in the border area is carried out by following a series of processes of interdependence, the convergence of objectives, accommodation, and reconciliation of goals, in which the exploration of factors causing a lack of cooperation and the identification of problems and potential in border areas are carried out.

Surakarta is an urban area that grows dynamically in line with demographic, economic, cultural, religious, and infrastructure developments leading to a smart city. People know Surakarta as a multicultural, multi-ethnic, cultural and religious city. Surakarta's public space becomes a bridge for religion to campaign for citizenship rights and social justice. How is the presence of religion in Surakarta's public sphere in promoting social justice? This research is a type of qualitative descriptive research, for data collection purposes, observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation are carried out. The analysis model s using interactive analysis. Because in the public space of Surakarta there are various kinds of pluralism, and democracy also society, for this reason the presence of religion is expected not to threaten these things. The growth of religious pluralism with contestation in the public sphere often triggers socio-religious conflicts. The presence of religion in the public sphere is expected to encourage the development of moderate religious discourses with discourse on pluralism, democracy, religious freedom, social justice, and peace amid the strengthening role of religion in socio-political life. Religion in Surakarta has so far been able to encourage social resilience by strengthening social networks, community participation, and enlivening cultural activities. Religion-based social nodes in Surakarta fight for the fulfillment of social justice such as the distribution of basic necessities, the distribution of entrepreneurship, and the fulfillment of the rights of citizens. Religion contributes to the formation of civil society in which religion is implemented as a social ethic that leads to the formation of social nodes that uphold the values of humanism, democracy, and social justice.

Among the main terrestrial habitats are forests that present great diversity and endemism, despite their importancedue to the socioeconomic and ecological benefits they provide to human populations, they are vulnerable to modifications generatedby global changes de-rived from anthropogenic activities, and climate change that affect this important eco-system, Mitigating the effects of this entails a great responsibility that must be based on knowledge. To understand the dynamics of the evergreen forest plant formation of the páramo in the Chimborazo Fauna Production Reserve, we set out to characterize these ecosystems with respect to various environmental and forest variables through different multivariate statistical techniques. The factors evaluated were structure and composition. Forest information was obtained in 12 plots (with a total area of 4.32 ha). Univariate de-scriptive statistics allowed to determine the optimal and marginal habitat, the cluster analysis determined three similar groups according to forest characteristics, the principal components analysis showed that temperature (BIO 7) and precipitation (BIO 14) are the main variables that explain the distribution of forest species in the areas, the analysis of multiple correspondences allowed to determine that the relicts of evergreen forest of the páramo located in the parish Pilahuin contain forest species with optimal conservation characteristics.

Authors: Djamal Saihi
Published: June 2023

Technology has virtually occupied human activities in such a way that many have relied on it in providing solutions to many problems. Language pedagogy is one of the areas where technological-aided or digital tools have continued to prevail, though making language lecturing and learning more interesting. The use of digital tools has proven to enhance language lecturing, and several attempts have been made by scholars to ascertain the perception of lecturers towards the use of technological-aided tools in language lecturing. Many studies have given account on the university lecturers’ perspective on the bases of the advantages and the disadvantages of the use of these technological-aided tools in language. However, this study represents an effort to unveil the university administrators’ view on the use of digital tools, particularly, its impacts on language lecturers who use these tools to teach and also the language students who learn with these tools; and how it improves their language skills. In this scientific study, two hundred university administrators drawn from different universities were randomly selected. Among the two hundred university administrators, one hundred were male and one hundred females. Also, there was no target on a particular language, and the university administrators participated through responding to questionnaire inputs. The 200 university administrators that are polled for the study presented their diverse views; which are purely categorized into what this study described as the impact on lecturers and the impact on the learners. The research findings suggest that digital resources aid language lecturers and learners, the adequate application of these tools is highly dependent on the perspectives of the university administrators towards these tools. The study further indicates that university administrators are extensively embracing digital tools in language lecture halls, and aiming to replace traditional tools with digital tools.

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. It affects people of all ages, genders and ethnicities. However, the good news is that most cases of skin cancer are preventable and treatable if caught early. Education and prevention are critical to reducing the risk of developing skin cancer and improving people's quality of life. Below is a case study of a 35-year-old patient who was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that can spread if not treated properly. The dermatologist recommended surgery to remove the tumor, which proved successful. After surgery, the importance of prevention and how to reduce the risk of developing another squamous cell carcinoma was emphasized. It was recommended to limit sun exposure, wear protective clothing, hats and sunglasses, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher. Regular skin self-exams and follow-up appointments were also advised. This case demonstrates the importance of prevention in skin cancer and the need to take measures to reduce the risk of developing this type of cancer.

At the same time, PDC practices for sustaining the agricultural sector in different geographics require development thresholds as psychological and sociological necessity. Consequently, the implementation of agricultural innovations in Indonesia often leads to variations in the participation practice in several Agricultural Technology Parks (ATP) that need specific treatment. This study aims to analyse the comparison of variables in each location of ATP Bogor, Lamongan, and Garut. To determine relevant strategies to achieve optimal results or goal(s). This research design was a cross-sectional survey, the data collected through a questionnaire involving 218 relevant respondents. The method used in this research is the T-test method, Kruskal-Wallis Test then continued with the Dunn (Post Hoc) Test. This study results in a P-Value shows each variable <0.05. This indicates there are distinction of each quantity. Hence, it can be stated that there is a significant difference in the concentration of the three ATPs: Bogor, Lamongan, and Garut. As a result, different communication strategies are needed in handling variations in participation. Thus, different locations (geographical side) affect the difference in the level of PDC as well as affect the level of social entrepreneurship spirit that has an impact on the level of welfare of ATP farmers.

Understanding our mind allows us to know ourselves better. The neurological levels of thinking allow us to identify the level of conflict and its relationship with entrepreneurial behavior and entrepreneurship, in order to achieve a reactivation of the post-pandemic economy. The study was conducted using a quantitative-qualitative approach and a descriptive level, which allowed us to identify the conflict at the level of thinking in which the student is located: environment, behavior, habits, beliefs, identity, and transcendence. It was applied to a population of students from ESPOCH's Faculty of Business Administration in five majors (Accounting and Auditing, Marketing, Transportation Management, Finance and Business Administration), with a total population of 981 students enrolled in the subject of entrepreneurship. The study was applied to the entire population, except for 2% of students who did not attend in-person classes due to some domestic calamity or other reasons. The results show non-constructive environments, negative behaviors, untapped capacities, and the highest level of conflict being limiting beliefs towards entrepreneurship and money, as well as an unidentified identity. It is concluded that the neurological levels of thinking can be modified thanks to neuroplasticity, which facilitates changes in behavior and habits towards entrepreneurship, resulting in a post-pandemic economic reactivation. Those who undertake directly impact the development of their reality, and their beliefs and entrepreneurial values are related to personal motivation, with the capacity to create a transformative and social change.

The descriptive study focused on investigating CLT strategies employed by the English teacher in hospitality classrooms to improve the hospitality students' speaking abilities. This research conducted a mixed method design with the quantitative analysis applied in small proportion only to measure the mean score of pre-test and post-test students speaking improvements. The participants in this study involved one teacher and one class from twelfth-grade (XII) students of hospitality at SMK N 5 Barru that consisted of 20 students. Observation with field notes and interviews were used as instruments for data collection. This research utilized Richards's (2006) three practices of mechanical practice, meaningful practice, and communicative practice as the basis in investigating the CLT strategies used by the teacher. The data were analyzed in three major steps such as data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing proposed by Miles & Huberman (1994). The findings indicated that the English teacher mostly used meaningful and communicative practices rather than mechanical practices. In applying CLT strategies to improve the hospitality students speaking abilities, the teacher mostly provided active discussion activities and worked in pairs or groups with the encouragement of integrating some additional tools such as the online platforms and applications. Moreover, cumulative score analysis from pre-test and post-test verified that the level of speaking proficiency in hospitality students demonstrated a 57.5% improvement, leading to the enhancement in their speaking score, which was classified as moderate categorization. The findings of this study concluded that CLT strategies that applied by the teacher helped improve the students speaking abilities gradually, as these applications also serve the purpose of engaging and captivating students in language learning by encouraging them with opportunities to utilize technological advancements in developing their language skills.
