Gender and Non-Normative Sex in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Bond Johanna
Published: February 2022

This Article argues for the adoption of a gender-based framework to supplement rights promotion strategies and campaigns based on LGBTI identity. The Article draws upon feminist, queer, and trans theory to develop an expansive understanding of gender within international human rights law. An analysis incorporating such theory will catalyze more systematic promotion of LGBTI rights. Although the approach is applicable across a variety of geographic contexts, this Article uses sub-Saharan Africa as an illustrative case study. A focus on gender rights as supplementary to and interrelated with LGBTI rights offers both conceptual and pragmatic benefits in the struggle to promote LGBTI rights in the region. Specifically, the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW Committee) has failed to meaningfully and systematically address discrimination and violence directed at LGBTI communities in this region. An expansion of the CEDAW Committee’s interpretation of gender would encourage the Committee to consider rights violations perpetrated against those who do not conform to gender norms, including normative expressions of masculinity and femininity. First, a focus on non-normative gender expression and sexuality expands our understanding of affected individuals from only self-identified gays and lesbians to include those who do not necessarily identify as gay or lesbian but who, nevertheless, do not conform to traditional norms of sexuality and gender expression. Second, a gender framework facilitates intersectional analysis. If adopted, this analysis would allow the CEDAW Committee to more fully explore how race, ethnicity, and nationhood construct sexuality in the post-colonial period. Intersectional analysis would also allow the Committee to capitalize on its success in raising awareness about and combating gender-based violence. Finally, a gender framework offers the CEDAW Committee and U.N. treaty bodies a discursive wedge to open conversations about sexuality, even in places with wide-spread homophobia.
Towards Reasonable: The Rise of State Pregnancy Accommodation Laws
Authors: Pisko Stephanie
Published: February 2022

In light of the recent Supreme Court decision Young v. UPS, pregnancy accommodation in the workplace is once again at the forefront of employment law. Pregnancy is not considered a disability under the ADA, nor is it within the scope of Title VII protections, but states are passing their own pregnancy accommodation laws. These laws will affect employers and employees alike, but exactly how is uncertain. Perhaps the most natural (and obvious) result of the explosion of state pregnancy accommodation laws will be a federal law, or an amendment to the ADA categorizing pregnancy as a disability. But there are reasons that the seemingly minimal accommodations for pregnant workers have not been met with overwhelming support. Some fear the increased cost to employers. Others fear the stigma of equating pregnancy with a disability. Nevertheless, employers will have to grapple with increased state protections supplementing the already-existing scheme of Title VII. Young adds another complication by lessening the burden to prove an employer’s duty to accommodate. For multinational corporations, tailoring their pregnancy policies to each state might prove costlier than uniformly implementing the plan of the most generous state. Employers are already accommodating disabled employees in the same manner. And these accommodations are by definition “reasonable.” Employers might not only avoid needless liability by providing accommodations to pregnant workers—even when not required—but might also gain numerous benefits, such as: increased morale; lower attrition rates; more productive workers; and better reputations. Accommodating pregnant workers seems uncontroversial, but every federal bill introduced to do so has been strongly opposed and stopped. States may now be leading the way and, ultimately, pregnancy accommodation laws will create positive benefits for women.
The Strange Pairing: Building Alliances Between Queer Activists and Conservative Groups to Recognize New Families
Authors: Palazzo Nausica
Published: February 2022

This Article explores some of the legal initiatives and reforms that opponents of same-sex marriage in Canada and the United States have pushed forward. Despite being animated by a desire to dilute the protections for same-sex couples, these reforms resulted in “queering” family law, in the sense that they functionalized the notion of family. Consequently, two cohabiting relatives or friends would be eligible for legal recognition, along with all the public and private benefits of such recognition. I term these kinds of “unions” and other nonnormative relationships to be “new families.”

The central claim of this Article is thus that new families should build alliances with conservative fringe groups and capitalize on their common interest in creating legal alternatives to marriage. Section I of the Article will provide a primer on the legal remedies available to non-normative relationships. Section II will engage in a comparative analysis of conservative reforms in the United States and Canada that ended up extending eligibility requirements to new families, or that, although currently restricted to conjugal couples, could constitute a viable model for protecting all new families, if their eligibility requirements were amended. Section III tries to operationalize legal recognition by analyzing the potential paths to gain it. I will first anticipate and respond to criticism surrounding recognition of new families, and then will lay the foundation for rethinking queer activists’ political action. I will then offer some recommendations (a) on the best model for implementation and (b) on forming alliances with conservative groups.
The Semiotics of the Peace Rituals (Pomaas Atag to Kosunayan) of Obo Manobo People
Authors: Barbosa Estella
Published: February 2022

This study looked into the meanings of objects used in peace ritual, how these objects communicate the intention of parties involved, and how the ritual constitutes ideology on peace among the Obo Manobo people. Particularly, it is a semiotic reading of the Obo Manobo’s ritual for peace which employed Halliday’s social and functional approach to language and Lemke’s semiotic thinking. The peace ritual is found to be a semiotic system that embodies the values, symbols, and ideas of the Obo Manobos as a group. It is a multimodal communicative event that comprises various integrating elements to language, thoughts, feelings and aspirations, dramatizes collective representations, encodes the culture of the Obo Manobos and, therefore, conveys ideologies on peace. As embedded in the ritual, the Obo Manobos believe that peace is consequential effect of how they observe customary laws of the tribe, and disregarding this will result to punishment and chaos.
The Role of Portfolio Assessment in Enhancing the Moroccan EFL Students’ Writing Self-concept
Authors: Omarakly Elmostafa , Tamer Youssef
Published: February 2022

Since the birth of humanistic approaches to language teaching and learning, researchers and practitioners directed special attention to various psychological factors that interfere with students’ learning. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of portfolio-based assessment practices in enhancing students’ writing self-concept. The study further explores the students’ perceptions of portfolio assessment in relation to their writing self-concept. To achieve these objectives, the study relied on a mixed-method research design with a sample of two independent groups (classes) of high school students. One group followed portfolio-based writing assessment activities with various reflection techniques, while the other group stuck to the regular summative-based writing tests. The results indicate a statistically significant difference (p<.005) between the two groups' level of writing self-concept in favor of the portfolio assessment group. The results also reveal a gradual, though statistically non-significant, improvement in the portfolio assessment group students’ writing self-concept compared to that of the traditional assessment group. On the other hand, the majority of the participants were highly positive about portfolio assessment and its impact on their writing self-concept.
Pszczoła miodna jako obiecujący gatunek modelowy w badaniach nad alkoholizmem.
Authors: Ostap-Chęć Monika , Miler Krzysztof
Published: February 2022

Mimo rosnącej wiedzy i coraz nowocześniejszych metod leczenia, alkoholizm nadal stanowi poważny, globalny problem, wymagający dalszych badań o szerokim zakresie. Biorąc pod uwagę, iż badania z udziałem ludzi posiadają ograniczenia i rodzą wiele dylematów etycznych, szeroko wykorzystuje się modele zwierzęce. Nowym, perspektywicznym gatunkiem modelowym w badaniach nad konsumpcją i zaburzeniami związanymi z nadużywaniem alkoholu stała się w ostatnim czasie pszczoła miodna Apis mellifera. Szereg przeprowadzonych dotychczas badań pokazał, iż pszczoły nie tylko chętnie spożywają pokarm z dodatkiem niskoprocentowego alkoholu, ale również pod jego wpływem wykazują zachowania podobne człowiekowi.  Co więcej, pszczoły wykazują tendencję do uzależnienia, a nawet przejawiają wzrost tolerancji przy wielokrotnym kontakcie z alkoholem, co jest jedną z cech alkoholizmu. Przeprowadzone do tej pory badania nie tylko potwierdzają zasadność wykorzystania pszczoły miodnej jako gatunku modelowego w kontekście spożywania alkoholu, ale także otwierają szeroką perspektywę do dalszych badań związanych z ekologią, fizjologią czy behawiorem.

Podobieństwa i różnice między gatunkami bliźniaczymi: chomicznikiem dżungarskim Phodopus sungorus i chomicznikiem zabajkalskim Phodopus campbelli. Behawior i fizjologia
Authors: Góral Nikola
Published: February 2022

Chociaż osobniki Phodopus sungorus i P. campbelli były wykorzystywane do badań laboratoryjnych już od lat 60., do późnych lat 80. klasyfikowano je jako jeden gatunek. Dopiero analizy genetyczne i badania nad hybrydami jednoznacznie potwierdziły ich status jako dwóch oddzielnych gatunków. Gatunki te są bardzo zbliżone fenotypowo i charakteryzują się wieloma cechami wspólnymi, m.in. podobnymi rozmiarami osobników dorosłych i szczeniaków, takim samym czasem trwania ciąży. Mimo bliskiego pokrewieństwa i dużego podobieństwa w morfologii, P. campbelli i P. sungorus różnią się istotnie fizjologią i behawiorem, co prawdopodobnie wynika z zamieszkiwania innych stref klimatycznych.

Pochodzący ze strefy kontynentalnej P. campbelli posiada wiele cech unikatowych wśród gryzoni, a nawet wśród ssaków. Jest to gatunek obligatoryjnie monogamiczny, z opieką dwurodzicielską. Występuje u niego fakultatywnie diapauza poimplantacyjna. Tak duża specjalizacja, mocno odróżniająca jeden gatunek z grupy siostrzanej, jest czymś wyjątkowym i wymagającym dokładnego zbadania.
Urozmaicenie środowiska myszy i szczurów w badaniach naukowych
Authors: Biała Dominika , Kowalczyk Paulina
Published: February 2022

Badania behawioralne są nieodzownym aspektem badań naukowych na całym świecie. Dotychczas nie udało się opracować modelu badawczego, który umożliwiłby całkowite zastąpienie doświadczalnych modeli zwierzęcych. Badania z udziałem zwierząt dostarczają kluczowych wyników i obecnie nadal pozostają koniecznością dla rozwoju nauki i dobrostanu ludzi i zwierząt. Urozmaicenie/wzbogacenie środowiska (ang. environmental enrichment, EE) to modyfikacja warunków, w jakich żyją zwierzęta, zaprojektowana tak, by promować stymulację fizyczną, kognitywną, sensoryczną i socjalną. Zarówno w hodowli, jak i w trakcie eksperymentów EE wprowadza się, aby zapewnić zwierzętom wysoki dobrostan. Korzystny wpływ stosowania EE wykazano m.in. w ograniczeniu występowania zachowań stereotypowych czy zmniejszeniu agresji wśród zwierząt. Wykazano także, że EE wpływa na przebieg modelowanych chorób neurodegeneracyjnych, wykazując działanie neuroprotekcyjne, opóźnienie postępów choroby, czy też złagodzenie wielu symptomów w modelach zwierzęcych. EE może również wpływać na wyniki niektórych badań i należy brać to pod uwagę przy prawidłowym planowaniu eksperymentów. Niniejsza praca ma na celu opis wpływu EE na funkcjonowanie zwierząt laboratoryjnych w kontekście badań nad chorobami neurologicznymi.
Torfowiska mszarne strefy północnej a zmiana klimatu
Authors: Słowińska Sandra , Słowiński Michał
Published: February 2022

Torfowiska zajmują ok. 3% powierzchni lądów, a magazynują aż ok. 25% zawartego w glebie węgla. Są więc ekosystemami szczególnej uwagi ze względu na ich udział w globalnym cyklu węglowym. Torfowiska o niezaburzonych stosunkach wodnych akumulują węgiel w torfie co działa ochładzająco na atmosferę w skali globalnej w dłuższym okresie (poprzez wychwytywanie CO2 z powietrza, który jest gazem cieplarnianym). Zupełnie odwrotnie dzieje się, gdy dochodzi do obniżenia poziomu wód gruntowych, wtedy torfowiska stają się emiterami netto CO2. Z drugiej jednak strony utrzymujący się długo zbyt wysoki poziom wody przyczynia się do wzmożonej emisji metanu (CH4), również gazu cieplarnianego. Ważne jest zrozumienie mechanizmów funkcjonowania torfowisk w warunkach gwałtownie zmieniającego się klimatu. W tym celu stosuje się wiele perspektyw, zarówno w odniesieniu do skali przestrzennej, jak i czasowej analiz, począwszy od analiz paleoekologicznych aż po badania eksperymentalne. Integracja tych wszystkich perspektyw powinna stać się priorytetowym działaniem w celu określenia punktów zwrotnych i trajektorii zmian dla torfowisk.

The ISSN is an identification system intended to reliably identify serials and other on-going resources world-wide. ISSN assignment is ensured by a Network of 89 national centres, coordinated by the ISSN International Centre. National Centres are also in charge of producing the bibliographic records describing the resources, records which are ingested in the ISSN Register. To that end, they follow the rules expressed in the ISSN Manual, which depends on one hand on the ISSN Standard (ISO 3297) and on the other hand on the ISBD. As the characteristics and boundaries of continuing resources are constantly evolving, especially on a digital form, the maintenance and the evolution of the Manual is a critical task. It is ensured by the ISSN Review Group, composed of experts from various National Centres. This group also provides support and advices to all National Centres. Finally, the ISSN RG aims to be involved in the evolution of the main bibliographic models, cataloguing codes (ISBD and RDA) or formats, at national and international levels, and to promote there the recognition of the unique characteristics of continuing resources. = ISSN je identifikacioni sistem namijenjen da pouzdano identificira serijske publikacije i druge tekuće izvore širom svijeta.

Published: February 2022

In this very short paper, we show that the average overlap density of a union-closed family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ may be as small as \[\Theta((\log_2 \log_2 |\mathcal{F}|)/(\log_2 |\mathcal{F}|)),\] for infinitely many positive integers $n$.
The Set of Ratios of Derangements to Permutations in Digraphs is Dense in $[0,1/2]$
Authors: Austhof Bethany , Bennett Patrick , Christo Nick
Published: February 2022

A  permutation in a digraph $G=(V, E)$ is a bijection $f:V \rightarrow V$ such that for all $v \in V$ we either have that $f$ fixes $v$ or $(v, f(v)) \in E$. A derangement in $G$ is a permutation that does not fix any vertex. Bucic, Devlin, Hendon, Horne and Lund proved that in any digraph, the ratio of derangements to permutations is at most $1/2$. Answering a question posed by Bucic, Devlin, Hendon, Horne and Lund, we show that the set of possible ratios of derangements to permutations in digraphs is dense in the interval $[0, 1/2]$.
An Ore-Type Condition for Hamiltonicity in Tough Graphs
Authors: Shan Songling
Published: February 2022

Let $G$ be a $t$-tough graph on $n\geqslant 3$ vertices for some $t>0$. It was shown by Bauer et al. in 1995 that if the minimum degree of $G$ is greater than $\frac{n}{t+1}-1$, then $G$ is hamiltonian. In terms of Ore-type hamiltonicity conditions, the problem was only studied when $t$ is between 1 and 2. In this paper, we show that if the degree sum of any two nonadjacent vertices of $G$ is greater than $\frac{2n}{t+1}+t-2$, then $G$ is hamiltonian.
Tight Bounds on Probabilistic Zero Forcing on Hypercubes and Grids
Authors: Behague Natalie C. , Marbach Trent G. , Prałat Paweł
Published: February 2022

Zero forcing is a deterministic iterative graph colouring process in which vertices are coloured either blue or white, and in every round, any blue vertices that have a single white neighbour force these white vertices to become blue. Here we study probabilistic zero forcing, where blue vertices have a non-zero probability of forcing each white neighbour to become blue. We explore the propagation time for probabilistic zero forcing on hypercubes and grids.
A Central Limit Theorem for the Two-Sided Descent Statistic on Coxeter Groups
Authors: Brück Benjamin , Röttger Frank
Published: February 2022

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the statistic $(\operatorname{des}+\operatorname{ides})_W$ which assigns to an element $w$ of a finite Coxeter group $W$ the number of descents of $w$ plus the number of descents of $w^{-1}$. Our main result is a central limit theorem for the probability distributions associated to this statistic. This answers a question of Kahle-Stump and builds upon work of Chatterjee-Diaconis, Özdemir and Röttger.
New Lower Bounds on the Size-Ramsey Number of a Path

Published: February 2022

We prove that for all graphs with at most $(3.75-o(1))n$ edges there exists a 2-coloring of the edges such that every monochromatic path has order less than $n$.  This was previously known to be true for graphs with at most $2.5n-7.5$ edges. We also improve on the best-known lower bounds in the $r$-color case.
An Isoperimetric Inequality for Hamming Balls and Local Expansion in Hypercubes
Authors: Jiang Zilin , Yehudayoff Amir
Published: February 2022

We prove a vertex isoperimetric inequality for the $n$-dimensional Hamming ball $\mathcal{B}_n(R)$ of radius $R$. The isoperimetric inequality is sharp up to a constant factor for sets that are comparable to $\mathcal{B}_n(R)$ in size. A key step in the proof is a local expansion phenomenon in hypercubes.
Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with Anti SSA and SSB Positive Pregnancies
Authors: Putra Robby Satria , Najirman
Published: February 2022

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is autoimmune disease that results in inflammation in various organ systems, frequent recurrences in the clinical course characterized by the production of antibodies against core antigens. Pregnancy will trigger flares. Increased intravascular volume in pregnancy can worsen abnormal heart and kidney function. Increasing the glomerular filtration rate by 50% exacerbated previously stable proteinuria. Pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability increases the risk of thrombosis. Anti-Ro/SSA was found in 35% of SLE patients and anti-La / SSB was found in 15% of SLE patients. The presence of Ro and La antibodies puts the fetus at a risk of developing neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) 6-13% and can reach up to 25% if the mother has previously given birth to a child with NLE. Neonatal lupus erythematosus including congenital heart block or cutaneous lupus. Congenital heart block (CHB) is a very serious complication. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) recommends serial fetal echocardiography from 16 weeks of gestation continuing through to 26 weeks. Pregnancies with grade I and II CHB are treated with oral dexamethasone 4 mg daily because fluorinated glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone and betamethasone can cross the placenta, however, this therapy cannot be given in third-degree heart block. Early diagnosis and therapy will reduce the risk of congenital heart block in neonates after birth.

Authors: Parisa Nita , Dwi Tantri Marylin  , Theodorus
Published: February 2022

Backgrounds. It is very important to evaluate and assess the rationality of the use of antidiabetic drugs, especially the biguanide (metformin) group to maintain the quality and quality of diabetes mellitus drug administration so that the target of diabetes mellitus control can be optimized. This study aims to evaluate the rationality of prescribing metformin oral antidiabetic at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang.

Methods. The research design is a descriptive study using secondary data from medical records in the medical records section of Dr. Moh Hoesin Hospital Palembang. The object of research is all medical records of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who used metformin at RSMH Palembang in the period July 1st, 2019-July 31st, 2020, with complete medical record data and without serious comorbidities. The rationality for using metformin that was assessed in this study was the frequency of use, drug dose, route of administration, duration of administration, and drug interactions. The frequency of drug use is assessed by how many times the drug is taken in one day.

Results. The most age group of patients who received a prescription for metformin were 51-60 years old and 61-70 years old with a total of 17 patients (35.4%). The majority of patients were female as much as 60.4%. Drug interactions with metformin are still quite common, although the majority are synergistic and potentiating interactions. There are still 2 cases or 4.2 percent who experience antagonistic interactions.

Conclusion. The rationality for using metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is based on the criteria for the right dose (100%), the right frequency of drug administration (100%), the right time for giving the drug (100%), the right way of giving the drug (100%), and the right drug interaction. (95.8%).
Women Terrorists and Violent Actors in the Lens of the Media in Kenya: 1980-2019
Authors: Nyabwengi Catheline Bosibori
Published: February 2022

Despite the increasing role of women in violence and terrorist-related activities across the globe, stereotypes depicting violence and terrorism as a male sphere continue to shape and, in some cases, prevent the authentic presentation of women terrorists and violent actors. Essentially, war and violence are attributed to men and masculine traits. Accordingly, women are mainly presented as intrinsically vulnerable, coerced actors, or violence victims in violence and terrorism. The media plays an essential role in disseminating information about terrorism and violence to the public. However, it does not operate in a vacuum, and thus, reportage of violence and terrorism at times reflects the prevailing cultural gender stereotypes of war and violence. This paper explores how the media present women terrorists and violent actors in Kenya. It also explores how this presentation impacts security initiatives and counter-terrorism strategies in the country. The paper uses accessible evidence from media reports on various female terrorists, terrorist attacks, and security operations to examine these aspects. It argues that the media labels women terrorists as vulnerable and focuses on their age, physical outlook, and statuses rather than the violent act perpetrated. Such presentation paints an image of irrational, naïve, coerced female terrorists and victims of violence. Accordingly, the paper recommends that the media-mediated images must not influence the implementation of anti-terror and violence policies since they do not necessarily reflect the reality on the ground.

Religiusitas Jemaat Di Masa Pandemi Covid-19 Berdasarkan Teks Matius 22:37-40
Authors: Surya Agus
Published: February 2022

This study aims to see the picture of religiosity of GKE Sinta Kapuas congregation during the Covid-19 Pandemic based on Matthew Text 22:37-40. The method used is qualitative with techniques of collecting observation data, interviews, and documentation. The source of the informant is the deacon, the assembly, and the congregation of GKE Sinta Kapuas as many as 8 people. The results showed that the religiosity of the congregation of GKE Sinta Kapuas during the covid-19 pandemic was in the good category. This appears in the church's commitment to obey and love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind. Then, the church's commitment to remain faithful to the belief in God's provider, by having a commitment in reading the Bible, living in prayer, worship, giving thanksgiving, living to do God's will and living in holiness, faithful in ministry, visiting people who are experiencing difficulties, and participating in service for others affected by the covid-19 pandemic. As for the obstacles in the implementation of religiosity of GKE Sinta Kapuas congregation during the covid-19 pandemic in the form of decreased intensity of the congregation in reading the Bible. This is due to the conditions and demands of the daily needs of the congregation that must be gardened and as a result of the economic impact that hit the congregation due to the covid-19 pandemic.

Pandemi covid-19 menyebabkan ibadah tatap muka di jemaat GKE Sinta Kapuas terbatas. Kondisi ini berdampak pada religiusitas jemaat karena kurangnya ibadah bersama di gereja. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk melihat gambaran religiusitas jemaat GKE Sinta Kapuas di masa Pandemi Covid-19 berdasarkan Teks Matius 22:37-40. Metode yang digunakan ialah kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Sumber informan adalah diaken, majelis, dan jemaat GKE Sinta Kapuas sebanyak 8 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa religiusitas jemaat GKE Sinta Kapuas di masa pandemi covid-19 dalam kategori baik. Hal ini nampak pada komitmen jemaat untuk taat dan mengasihi Tuhan yang diimplementasikan dengan tekun membaca Alkitab, hidup di dalam doa, ibadah, memberi persembahan syukur untuk gereja, hidup melakukan kehendak Tuhan dan hidup dalam kekudusan, setia dalam pelayanan, mengunjungi orang-orang yang mengalami kesulitan, serta berpartisipasi dalam pelayanan bagi sesama yang terdampak pandemi covid-19. Adapun kendala dalam implementasi religiusitas jemaat GKE Sinta Kapuas di masa pandemi covid-19 berupa menurunnya intensitas jemaat dalam membaca Alkitab. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kondisi dan tuntutan kebutuhan sehari-hari jemaat yang harus berkebun dan sebagai akibat dari dampak ekonomi yang melanda jemaat karena pandemi covid-19.

Dampak pandemi COVID-19 sangat berpengaruh pada sektor pariwisata. Sektor pendidikan pariwisata juga terkena imbasnya, terlepas dari pengajaran yang dilakukan secara virtual dan berkurangnya kelas praktik, rekrutmen serta program magang juga semakin dipersulit. Penerimaan siswa-siswi baru, sponsor industri dan pemerintah, serta pendanaan penelitian pariwisata juga berkurang secara drastis (Sigala, 2020). Padahal, pendidikan vokasi merupakan prioritas bagi pemerintah untuk meningkatkan keterampilan professional sumber daya manusia Indonesia agar mempunyai daya saing. SMKN 7 Kabupaten Tangerang melihat adanya kebutuhan pembekalan bagi siswa-siswi vokasi agar lebih berani dan bertambah wawasannya akan protokol kesehatan dalam industri perhotelan selama masa pandemi. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan dalam tiga tahap, yaitu persiapan, pengajaran secara daring, dan kegiatan pasca-pengajaran. Hasil dari kegiatan ini berupa modul protokol kesehatan industri perhotelan, poster protokol kesehatan, serta video hotel new normal yang dapat digunakan siswa-siswi vokasi sebagai panduan protokol kesehatan dalam bekerja di industri perhotelan. Manfaat dari pengajaran daring ini adalah memberikan wawasan terbaru mengenai kondisi industri perhotelan dan protokol-protokol kesehatan new normal kepada siswa-siswi vokasi, sehingga diharapkan semakin siap dalam terjun bekerja dalam industri perhotelan.

In 4 years of observations of ISMEA (Indonesia Small Medium Enterprises Association), the research taken shows many SMEs neglect the effort to build a brand or branding then more focused on sales strategies to drive revenue instead. This condition will have an impact on the sustainability of the SMEs themselves.  Since 2016, ISMEA is aggressively promoting SMEs products that are unique, homemade, and handmade through exhibitions and bazaars. From Exhibitions and Bazaars, the sales are much faster and definite rather than by stores or resellers. However, as a reaction to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, SMEs in ISMEA have to change their marketing method to Virtual Exhibitions. In virtual exhibitions, brand or branding plays a significant role in the business's reputation. Building a brand or branding is an effort to portray the image and perception that will be embedded in buyers or customers. The role of universities to educate about branding and reputation greatly assist SMEs on business sustainability in the era of Covid-19. Two months of training did conduct online and their products were sent to the trainers for evaluation and improvement. The SMEs were assigned tasks to enhance their skills. After the training, several SMEs began taking part in virtual marketing held such as BRI UMKM Virtual Mart, Ciputra Virtual Exhibition. In the future, ISMEA planned an initiative to organize its first virtual exhibition in October 2021 on Batik Day.

Dalam hal ini, SMKN 1 Tambun Selatan sebagai penyelenggara pendidikan diharapkan dapat menyediakan fasilitas praktek yang dibutuhkan untuk melatih ketrampilan siswa sesuai kompetensi yang dibutuhkan. Berdasarkan survei, masalah yang dihadapi khususnya pada Jurusan Jasa Wisata adalah terbatasnya pengetahuan dan ketrampilan siswa dalam mengoperasikan sistem reservasi penumpang yang digunakan oleh perusahaan penjual perjalanan wisata (travel agent).
