The criminal act of obscenity can be committed by anyone and the victim can also be in vain without exception, as in decision Number: 142-K/PM II-09/AD/IX/2022. The issues are 1) Do the defendant's actions fulfill the elements of a crime of morality? and 2) Are the judge's considerations in accordance with Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Amendments to UURI Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection? The research method is normative law with a descriptive analytical research type, using secondary data then analyzed qualitatively and deductive logic as a conclusion. The research results show that the elements contained in the provisions of Article 281 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code have been fulfilled, but in this case the judge did not pay enough attention to the fact that one of the victims was still a minor, so that the actions committed by the defendant must be subject to the provisions Article 76E in conjunction with Article 82 paragraph (1) of the Child Protection Law and the judge's consideration of ignoring the principle of "lex specialist derogat lege generali" is not in accordance with UURI Number 23 of 2014 concerning Amendments to UURI Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection because there are victims who are still under age so that the provisions of Article 63 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code which adheres to the principle of "lex specialist derogat lege generali" can apply.

Published: May 2024

Background and Objective

Hypertension is one of the most common medical complications during pregnancy and a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. Severe preeclampsia is defined as blood pressure (BP) >160/110 mmHg with warning signs such as headache, blurring of vision, and epigastric pain. Nifedipine (C17H18N2O6), labetalol (C19H24N2O3), and hydralazine (C8H8N4) are commonly used drugs, and all are recommended as first-line agents. Hydralazine is associated with a higher incidence of adverse outcomes, so oral nifedipine has been proposed as a first-line alternative to intravenous labetalol. Consequently, this study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of oral nifedipine with that of intravenous labetalol. The objective is to compare the ability/effectiveness of oral nifedipine and intravenous labetalol to normalize acute hypertension in severe preeclampsia and to assess the birth outcome. Relations between different factors were established by appropriate statistical tests. The p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Methods

The study was conducted on 120 antenatal women with blood pressure ≥160/110 mmHg admitted to our hospital, a tertiary care center, from January 1st, 2020 to June 30th, 2021. Patients were randomized by a single blinding method to receive intravenous labetalol and oral nifedipine. The primary outcome measures were the time taken to control the blood pressure and the number of doses of drugs required. The secondary outcome measures were the birth outcome like a method of delivery, side effect profile, and the number of admissions in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Results

A total of 120 patients were included with 60 patients in each group. The labetalol group took 48.67 ± 17.80 minutes and the nifedipine group took 64.33 ± 9.81 minutes to achieve a target BP of <=140/90 mmHg (p < 0.05). No side effects were seen in 70% of patients in the labetalol group and 71.67% in the nifedipine group (p > 0.05).

Conclusion and Global Health Implications

Intravenous labetalol is faster in restoring blood pressure in pregnant women with preeclampsia than oral nifedipine and may be used as a first-line drug in the acute control of blood pressure in a hypertensive emergency during pregnancy. More studies are needed in order to evaluate the findings from this pilot study in a large sample of patients.

Published: May 2024

Background:

Frameless image-guided radiosurgery (IGRS) is an effective and non-invasive method of treating patients who are unresponsive to medical management for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). This study evaluated the use of frameless IGRS to treat patients with medically refractory TN.

Methods:

We performed a retrospective review of records of 116 patients diagnosed with TN who underwent frameless IGRS using a linear accelerator (LINAC) over 10 years (March 2012-February 2023). All patients had failed medical management for TN. Facial pain was graded using the Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) scoring system. Each patient received a BNI score before frameless IGRS and following treatment. Failure was defined as a BNI score IV-V at the last follow-up and/or undergoing a salvage procedure following IGRS.

Results:

All patients had a BNI score of either IV or V before the frameless IGRS. The mean follow-up duration for all 116 patients following IGRS was 44.1 months. Most patients (81 [69.8%]) had not undergone surgery (microvascular decompression [MVD] or rhizotomy) or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for TN before frameless IGRS. A total of 41 (35.3%) patients underwent a salvage procedure (MVD, rhizotomy, or an additional IGRS) following frameless IGRS. The mean duration between the initial frameless IGRS and salvage procedure was 20.1 months. At the last follow-up, a total of 110 (94.8%) patients had a BNI score of I-III. No complications were reported after the frameless IGRS. The BNI score at the last follow-up was lower compared to the initial BNI for patients regardless of prior intervention (P < 0.001). Patients who failed IGRS had a higher BNI score at the last follow-up compared to those who did not fail IGRS (2.8 vs. 2.5, P = 0.05). Patients with pain relief had a shorter follow-up compared to those with pain refractory to SRS (38.0 vs. 55.1, P = 0.005).

Conclusion:

In this large cohort of patients with medically refractory TN, frameless IGRS resulted in durable pain control in the majority of patients without any toxicity.
A new device to treat ping-pong skull fractures: The hammer puller technique. A comparative analysis using a realistic simulation model
Authors: Neto Carlos Dos Reis Lisboa , Coelho Giselle , Figueiredo Eberval Gadelha
Published: May 2024

Background:

This study aims to describe a new surgical technique for the treatment of ping-pong skull fractures and to evaluate its efficacy in a realistic simulation model compared to the dissector elevation technique.

Methods:

A total of 64 fractures were obtained using 16 model units, each with four fractures (two frontal and two parietal). The hammer puller technique was applied for left-sided fractures and the dissector technique for right-sided fractures. The variables evaluated were fracture repair time, fracture volume, fracture corrected volume, and fracture correction percentage. Fractures were separated into groups according to the surgical technique used (hammer or dissector) and the bone fractured (frontal or parietal). Statistical analysis was performed with Jamovi® software (version 2.3) using Student’s t-test.

Results:

A complete degree of fracture correction was achieved with both techniques, demonstrating a sufficient performance in the correction of the deformity. The hammer technique was shown to be faster in correcting frontal bone depressions with 20.1 ± 7.8 s compared to 31.3 ± 4.7 s for the dissector technique, P < 0.001. There was no statistically significant difference for parietal applications (P = 0.405).

Conclusion:

This study describes a new minimally invasive surgical technique for the treatment of ping-pong fractures. Comparative analysis showed that both techniques were equally effective but that the hammer puller technique was more efficient than the dissector elevation technique, especially for frontal bone fractures.
Non-additivity of the contribution of individual sections of the modulating sequence to the multiplexed signal in Hadamard transform ion mobility spectrometry

Артефактный сигнал остается основным препятствием для распространения методов мультиплексирования в спектрометрии ионной подвижности с преобразованием Адамара. Несмотря на обилие подходов, предлагаемых различными научными группами для его подавления, предпосылки его формирования остаются неоднозначными. Наряду с поиском и разработкой утилитарных методов снижения влияния артефактного сигнала представляется целесообразным разработать теоретические основы появления ошибок модуляции позволяющие математически корректно исключить их из результатов преобразований Адамара. В настоящей работе исследуются две возможные причины ошибки модуляции сигнала – кулоновское расталкивание ионных пакетов и неоднородность вклада отдельных участков псевдослучайных последовательностей, а также описывается модель формирования артефактного сигнала, учитывающая их влияние. Проводится сравнение моделируемого артефактного сигнала с экспериментально наблюдаемым для статистически значимого числа модулирующих последовательностей, на основании чего делается вывод о преимущественном влиянии неоднородности вклада отдельных участков псевдослучайных последовательностей.
Potential symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) jackfruit leaves as an
active ingredient for skin pathogens infection treatment

Published: May 2024

The mortality from skin infectious disease has declined in the last decades but viral and
bacterial infections still could impact vulnerable populations worldwide. Jackfruit leaves
were known to have pharmacological properties and were traditionally used for various
ailment treatments. Currently, an abundance of jackfruit leaves is wasted without further
processing as jackfruit trees need to be trimmed every after harvesting season. To
overcome the economic loss of this agro-waste, an initiative step has been taken to valueadded jackfruit leaves to generate income for jackfruit farmers. Symbiotic culture of
bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) jackfruit leaves (JL) extract was produced under a controlled
fermentation approach using a targeted SCOBY to create functional phytochemical
properties to reduce inflammation rate and fasten wound recovery from skin pathogenicinfected diseases. The antimicrobial property of JL extract was evaluated against selected
skin-borne pathogenic microbes. Evidence from time-kill studies indicated that 65% JL
extract has a potent killing effect (100%) against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Propionibacterium acnes within a short period of time (2-4 hrs). Based on
this concentration, a JL cream was developed and its effectiveness was evaluated on
Herpes Simplex Virus-Type 1 (HSV 1)-infected mice to assess the skin recovery
performance. The HSV 1 caused painful blisters or ulcers at the site of infection, ranging
from mild to severe. After mice cutaneous inoculation with HSV-1, the skin lesion treated
with topical JL cream was observed daily and the lesion score reached 3 after 6 days of
treatment, indicating the potential of skin lesion recovery when compared to untreated
mice with the lesion score of 6. Even though the positive control treatment (Zirax cream)
showed almost complete healing after 6 days of treatment, it was reported to cause serious
side effects. A skin irritation test was also conducted on rabbit skin and the results confirm
the dermatological safety of SCOBY jackfruit leaves cream as non-irritant.
BiodiverCity: The integration of biodiversity within medium-density housing
Authors:   , Jenkins Katie
Published: May 2024

As cities continue to expand, our connection to biodiversity is reduced and our ecological resilience is placed under increasing pressure. Housing developments are replacing native flora and fauna ecosystems, with no consideration in to where these species will relocate. The fragmentation of our natural environment disconnects us from the natural landscape, pushing species further away from our central cities. An empty lot located behind the basin reserve in Wellington, the Capital City of Aotearoa New Zealand, provides an ideal opportunity to rethink how we design housing. Acting as a stepping-stone habitat, the site identifies a gap in Wellington’s town belt that will support the integration of green infrastructure. By attending to the diverse ecosystem and demands of the land, housing becomes the second priority and encourages a coexistence of species. In order to provide a refined habitat, an under standing of six species will be studied to form the keystone species, ensuring targeted planting and design solutions can be beneficially integrated into the landscapes design and function. Reshaping this design approach to the built environment places the ideas of Landscape Architects at the forefront of design decisions, creating a co-existence of humans and fauna within the urban framework. The site will be used to form a design-led research response to strengthen our relationship to the landscape and the significance of daily ecological connections that are ignored due to human pressure demands in Wellington. The ambition behind this research is to test how housing can be formed as an addition to the landscape, adding to the green corridor between the Mt Victoria and Central Park sections of the town belt. This research attempts to think past the barriers that landscaping is an accessory but should be used to make homes more resilient while ensuring our native ecosystems can grow and adapt within the urban environment.

One of the favorite vehicles in cities and villages is a motorbike because it is practical and economical. So most of them modify their motorbikes. Starting from adding accessories such as a wind shield and rear box. An aerodynamic vehicle body shape can have an effect on reducing fuel consumption and minimizing forces that hinder the vehicle's speed. This research aims to see the difference in air resistance between motorbikes that have been modified and those that have not been modified. The simulation used uses a numerical simulation method with CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) software. The form of modification is the addition of a wind shield and rear box. The average speed travelled in the flow simulation is 60 km/hour. The equations used in this research are the drag coefficient, velocity, drag force and flow trajectory equations. The research results show that the Windshield and Rear Box have a very significant influence on drag force. The higher the speed given, the greater the resistance force received. The addition of accessories such as a wind shield and rear box affects the drag force on a motorbike, which is the greatest at 205.28N for a speed of 80 km/hour. The largest drag coefficient is also obtained when these two accessories are added, namely 0.0071 at a speed of 80 km/hour.

In Malaysia, school activities were disrupted from 2020-2021 due to the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the country. It caused many things to be temporarily disrupted including co-curriculum activities at school. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine pupils’ perceptions of the co-curriculum activities carried out by the school during the MCO and the effect of those activities on national integration among the pupils. It was quantitative research using a set of questionnaires as its research instrument. The research location was at Tanjong Malim, Perak, Malaysia where five secondary schools were selected. A total of 487 pupils, consisting of 243 Form two pupils and 244 pupils Form four pupils represented various ethnic and religious backgrounds. As a result, the study found that the national integration process was incorporated well through the co-curriculum activities even though the activities were conducted through online mediums. Overall, the score level was High for the majority of the results. Thus, it showed that even though the implementation of MCO had limited the process of national integration through co-curriculum activities, however, the implementation went well. The difference was, that the co-curriculum activities were conducted through online methods.

Published: May 2024

The presence of bullying within Islamic boarding schools is a serious issue that demands immediate attention and prevention. This research aimed to investigate the factors of bullying, the characteristics of bullying behavior in Islamic boarding schools, and the preventative measures implemented by Islamic boarding schools to shield their students. The research approach employed is a systematic literature review focused on published articles. The data was restricted to articles published from 2013 to 2023. The researchers used PRISMA analysis to analyze the data. The research results found that individual, a supportive environment, parental parenting patterns, particularly authoritarian parenting patterns, and aggressive or violent video or film elements were all factors in bullying. Several strategies had been put into effect, including the following: creating a fun cottage movement (GPM) program, strengthening conflict and emotional management, carrying out regular outreach and training regarding the dangers of bullying, cyber bullying, and legal education for bullies, implementing an anti-bullying curriculum, and others. Besides, more comprehensive research findings indicated that Islamic boarding schools must implement character formation based on Josephson’s “Character Counts” theory with six main pillars to prevent bullying behavior among students.

Published: May 2024

Higher education, as the continuation and culmination of the formal education process, has a role and responsibility to optimize character building based on the nation’s philosophy, namely Pancasila. Indonesia today is far from Pancasila’s hopes. This article explored the landscape of internalizing the nation’s philosophical values through exposure to concepts, practices, and challenges at UIN Ar-Raniry. This research used qualitative methods with a naturalistic approach carried out at Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The sample in this study was taken using a non-probability sampling technique. Meanwhile, data collection was carried out using triangulation techniques. The data were analyzed using inductive analysis techniques with an interactive qualitative approach, comprising data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The research results showed that the process of internalizing the nation’s philosophical values at UIN Ar-Raniry was integrated with the tri-dharma of higher education. The values that were built included fundamental, instrumental, and practical values, which were crystallized into five basic character values: religion, nationalism, independence, mutual cooperation, and integrity. Additionally, the university strengthened character through religious moderation activities, Ma’had al-Jami’ah, and other activities supporting student character building, as evidenced by certificates that were integrated with the academic system through a Diploma Accompanying Certificate, also known as SKPI.
The Psychomachia of Caste and Psychoanalysis in India
Authors: Dwivedi Divya
Published: May 2024

Psychoanalytic theory has been invoked to study gender, race, and colonialism, especially Indian postcoloniality, and its claims to cross-cultural relevance have also been interrogated in Indian scholarship from these perspectives. Given that caste determines nearly all aspects of life of both the upper and lower castes in India, a discussion of caste through psychoanalysis and vice-versa is conspicuous by its absence. This is consistent with the fact that the wider discipline of psychology has not adequately confronted the tremendous scale of suffering generated by caste-based inequality in the Indian subcontinent. Rather than assume the value of psychoanalysis in understanding the lived experiences of and attitudes towards caste, we can initiate a reciprocally interrogative encounter between caste and psychoanalysis with a view to examining the psychomachia of caste in contemporary life. The question of psychoanalysis in India should begin with the acknowledgement of two facts: the psychic dimension of suffering that is inflicted on the lower castes by the social order, and the psychic dimension of the denial or Verneinung of caste by the upper castes. We will then see how the psychomachia of caste cannot then be treated in the isolation of the clinic but requires sociogenetic theorization or sociodiagnostics (in Fanon’s sense) and social trans-formation. Caste might prove to be the most insightful site for developing a political, that is, emancipatory psychoanalysis which would have to exceed the clinic and intervene in social transformation.
Poothapattu: Sobs of a Broken People, Fragmented Ethos, and the Lost Land
Authors: Vijayan Anilkumar Payyappilly
Published: May 2024

Keeping three radical ideas of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, which have not been seriously dealt with by mainstream Indian/Kerala historiography, at the backdrop, namely, the Nagas and Dravidians are the same people, the untouchables were Buddhists, and India’s history as the history of mortal conflicts between Buddhism and Brahminism, the article attempts to study a Malayalam poem that has attained a classical status in the language, Poothapattu, to unravel the concealed layers of Kerala’s past. Drawing on the distinction the filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein establishes between the image and representation and on the insights provided by the Sangham Thinai conceptualizations, the article argues that in the Pootham image created by the Savarnna Malayalees, one could see sedimentation of history, where representations of the untouchable population of different historical moments are fused into a complex image, attesting to the veracity of Ambedkar’s radical ideas enumerated above.
The Promise of Memory: Politics of Memory and Caste Inequality in Collective Memory Consolidation
Authors: Choudhary Vikas Kumar
Published: May 2024

In the generic description of Indian society, the question of memory is about passive recollection of past. But in the caste-system based Indian experience, memory is also an active source of transforming one’s condition in the present and reshaping the understanding of past. Based on the fieldwork conducted on the sites of important Dalit monuments in Uttar Pradesh with a focus on the process of memory consolidation in individual and collective entities, the role of memory in mobilization of political narratives and inter-group inequality is examined. The core argument is that Dalits are unequally placed as an entity in the caste-based memory structure of collective memory; this unequal placement of Dalits is carefully constructed and mobilized by the dominant castes. In the anti-caste struggle of Dalits, collective memory consolidation has played a vital role in ideologically creating counter-memories to challenge the Hindutva meta-narratives. Yet, there continues shaping of collective memory of Dalits by dominant castes by appropriating Dalit icons. Thus, the collective memory of creating an integrated Hindu identity as the only source of identifying with the past recently has led to the marginalization of Dalits’ collective memory. Overall, this article highlights the role of collective memory for a meaningful understanding of the caste politics.
Psychology of Caste in Food: A Letter to My Upper Caste Friend
Authors: Sophan Angel
Published: May 2024

In the upper caste imagination, the general notion of caste has mostly been limited to marriage, reservation, and politics. However, the everyday nature of caste often lies in the state of dismissal or un-acknowledgement by the upper caste. This letter is addressed to individuals/ communities who assume the position of upper caste and it aims to ignite conversations with an open mind and heart about the lives of those at the other end of the caste spectrum. A key focus of this letter is on Food—an important aspect of our lives where casteism is blatant and brutal. The letter explores a history of food practices and also addresses how food choices aid in discrimination and social exclusion of communities even in contemporary times. Using a lens of ‘psyche of the oppressor’, we discuss how food practices shapes an upper caste individual’s psyche along the factors of delusion of caste superiority, socially favored caste behavior and intergenerational transmission of caste attitudes. The letter does not comment on individual choices or preferences; it rather focuses on the system in which vegetarianism is considered supreme, which facilitates in ignoring the pluralities of the country and thereby pushing the ‘other’ into margins/ peripheries and does not take cognizance of their culture and history.
Caste as a Socio-Psychological Construct: Theoretical and Empirical Expositions
Authors: Pal Gobinda
Published: May 2024

Caste in India is intricately and inevitably linked to multiple issues specifically in the context of intergroup relations and behaviours, and social inequality. Despite the perceived changes in the caste system and its manifestations, it is acknowledged that caste continues to exist in the Indian psyche as part of everyday life. An engagement with the ‘caste question’ as a matter of socio-psychological analysis has significance given the fact that caste involves social, cognitive and emotional elements that contribute to having different meanings for social groups, and generate different forms of affective and behavioural responses. With the recognition of the dearth of research on ‘psychology of caste’, this article attempts to provide insights into underlying socio-psychological processes in the persistence and pervasiveness of caste, and caste-based oppressive behaviours. Building on the recent debate and contestation on the transformations in caste, gaps in the mainstream psychological research on caste in India, and Ambedkar’s psychological expositions of caste, the article focuses on the issues of socio-psychological construction of caste, the protuberant manifestations of caste in the forms of caste-based discrimination and violence, and responses to such oppressive behaviours through the lens of socio-psychological frameworks. It is argued that changes in the expressions of caste in contemporary society influence the social cognition of caste groups to espouse varied responses. The increased resistance to the perceived ‘identity threats’ makes the social groups strive to strengthen their ‘collective identity’, in turn, sustaining the caste in contemporary society. The article calls for research to explore shades of caste from socio-psychological perspectives rather than looking at it primarily as a demographic variable. It also advocates for strategic psychological interventions using both legal and social tools at the societal level, with a specific focus on blurring ‘caste boundaries’ and breaking the ‘caste wall in mind’.

The Effect of Universal Health Coverage on Health Outcomes: The Case of Türkiye
Authors: Konca Murat
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to examine the effect of Universal Health Coverage practice on life expectancy at birth (as years) in Türkiye. An autoregressive distributed lag bounds testing (ARDL) model was used. The independent variables were the number of physicians (per 1,000 people), the ratio of health expenditures to the gross domestic product, and the Universal Health Coverage practice in the study model. Life expectancy at birth was selected as the dependent variable. The ratio of health expenditures to the gross domestic product (p=0.001) and Universal Health Coverage practice (p=0.011) were found to have statistically significant and positive effects on life expectancy at birth in the long run. Universal Health Coverage practice was also found to have a statistically significant and positive effect on life expectancy at birth in the short run (p=0.001). After ARDL, the robustness of results was tested with Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares, Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares, and Canonical Cointegrating Regressions.

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the media use and exposure of preschool children and its association with parental monitoring. A total of 420 children and their parents from independent kindergartens in Bucak district, Turkey, participated in the study during the 2023-2024 academic year. Data were collected using a General Information Form and a Media Usage Level Child and Parent Interview Form. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA were used for data analysis. Results showed that children watched TV for an average of 110.5 minutes per day, used computers for 92.3 minutes per day, and had a total media exposure time of 186.6 minutes per day. The majority of children had their TV program content monitored by their mothers. Maternal employment status, age, and educational level were found to be associated with children's media use patterns. Working mothers were associated with longer TV watching and phone usage times compared to non-working mothers. Older mothers were more likely to have children with longer TV watching and phone usage times. University graduate mothers were associated with lower TV watching times but higher computer and phone usage times compared to other educational groups. University graduate mothers were also more likely to monitor the content of media usage. These findings suggest the importance of parental monitoring in influencing children's media use habits. Effective guidance is needed to help parents establish healthy media habits and minimize potential negative impacts on children's development. Further research with larger samples is recommended to explore these findings in more depth.

Dalam berbelanja online saat ini, konsumen Indonesia lebih menjadikan ulasan sebagai sumber informasi utama dalam memutuskan pembelian. Meskipun konsumen menyatakan keputusan pembelian dipengaruhi oleh informasi dari ulasan, 3 dari 10 konsumen jarang memberikan ulasan. Kebiasaan tersebut membawa dampak buruk bagi kualitas ulasan saat ini, dibuktikan dengan adanya ulasan tanpa identitas yang jelas, bahasa sulit dipahami, serta tidak ada kesesuaian antara foto/video dengan produk yang dibeli. Kelas sentimen positif meskipun mendominasi, namun berdasarkan kategori source credibility, e wom quality, dan recommendation rating 4 dari 10 ulasan yang diteliti pada ketiga e commerce ti dak tergolong kredibel. Untuk itu, memerhatikan kredibilitas ulasan konsumen pada e commerce di Indonesia menjadi sangat penting untuk membantu dan melindungi konsumen Indonesia terhindar dari penipuan. Policy brief ini menguraikan tantangan sekaligus implikasi bagi lembaga pemerintah terkait perlindungan konsumen untuk terlibat membantu memerhatikan kredibilitas ulasan. Perlindungan konsumen khususnya pada transaksi online pada masa pandemi Covid 19 sangat diperlukan untuk mengurangi pengaduan konsumen.

Kapasitas pelaku desa wisata di Indonesia umumnya masih rendah terutama para pelakuwisata di desa wisata. Rendahnya kapasitas tersebut dapat dilihat dari pelaku desa wisata yangbelum mampu menyusun konsep atau perencanaan desa wisata yang sesuai denganperkembangan zaman atau keinginan konsumen. Haltersebutsenada dengan apa yangdisampaikan oleh Prafitri dan Damayanti (2016) bahwa kapasitas individu pengelola desa wisatakurang baik dalam pemahaman dan pengaplikasian konsep desa wisata. Noho (2014), tingkatkapasitas pelakudesa wisata secara individu maupun berorganisasidapattergolong dalam kriteriakurang optimalatau tingkat kematangan kapasitas dalam mengelola kepariwisataan masihtergolong dibawah rata-rata.

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing yang disingkat menjadi IUU fishing telah mengakibatkan kerugian global hingga 10-23.5 miliar USD. Penanganan IIU Fishing selama ini lebih fokus pada illegal fishing, padahal dampak dari pelanggaran unreported fishing juga tidak kalah dahsyatnya. Unreported fishing menyebabkan kesalahan data perikanan yang banyak digunakan dalam penentuan kebijakan perikanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa data hasil tangkapan armada pancing tonda pada periode tahun2012-2022 di PPN Palabuhan ratu terindikasi terjadi misreported sebesar 46,52–228,02 ton/tahun atau mencapai 11,7–28,8% dibawah tangkapan yang sebenarnya. Ketidaksesuaian dan kesalahan pendataan tersebut disebabkan oleh beberapa sebab, diantaranya adalah: penggunaan hasil tangkapan untuk umpan, dikonsumsi di atas kapal, jatah ABK dan upah tenaga kerja pada saat bongkar muatan. Beberapa fakta tersebut mendorong perlunya perbaikan sistem pendataan hasil tangkapan dengan melakukan identifikasi dankuantifikasi adanya potensi terjadinya misreported data hasil tangkapan sehingga pengelolaan perikanan dapat dilakukan secara tepat dan benar.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to determine the level of reduction in BOD and COD in household wastewater after the filtration process and to determine the efficiency of the filter media in reducing BOD and COD in sewage. The research was conducted in Bilebante village, Central Lombok Regency, NTB. The method takes three wastewater samples at different locations before and after the filtration stage. The results of the research show that the COD concentration in domestic wastewater before going through the processing process using filtration media obtained a result of 63 mgl/L, then at the filtration stage using plastic bottle media, the result was 34 mgl/L with an efficiency value of 46%, and at the filtration stage using activated carbon media, a value of 12 mgl/L was obtained so that the resulting efficiency value was 64%. The results of the BOD concentration in domestic wastewater before going through the processing process using filtration media obtained an initial result of 1.6 mgl/L; then, at the filtration stage using plastic bottle media, the result was 0.6 mgl/L with an efficiency value of 62 %. At the filtration stage using active carbon media, a value of 0 mgl/L was obtained, with an efficiency value of 100%. This research concludes that wastewater is safe to use, whether for watering plants or other things because there is a decrease in levels of COD and BOD that meet quality standards.
