The language of meteorology: Adjectives used in weather forecasts
Authors:   West University of Timisoara, Hauer Karina , Dejica Daniel ,   Politehnica University Timișoara
Published: January 2025

Weather forecasts are read and listened by millions of people worldwide. In a world where the focus is placed on action, we intend to take a closer look at the parts of speech which give substance to weather forecasts and are used at the same time to describe them, namely the adjectives. Adjectives help users visualize and give meaning to the context in which they are used. The aim of this study is to investigate the use of adjectives in weather forecasts, in order to gain insights on their function, usage, and influence in relation to meteorological discourse.

Authors:   University of Turku, Gambier Yves
Published: January 2025

For a long time, the focus in Translation Studies has been on the product (translation) and then on the process (translating). But the production cannot be separated from the distribution and the reception of the output, especially in a target-oriented perspective of translation. How to deal with the reception of audiovisual translation (AVT) when so many variables and parameters must be taken into consideration? Concepts and methodological tools have recently been developed to cope with the diversity of settings and viewers. Different empirical/experimental studies bring new insights in reception, whatever their shortcomings are.

Authors: Monat Jeremy
Published: January 2025

Exploring other cheminformatics toolkits besides the RDKit, I wanted to try EPAM Indigo Toolkit. The Indigo Toolkit is free and open-source with Apache License 2.0, so it can be used in proprietary software. I was unable to find simple examples of drawing molecules in a Python Jupyter Notebook, so here’s how to do that. This post also demonstrates how to save molecular images to a file.
Comparing Tautomer Generation Algorithms
Authors: Monat Jeremy
Published: January 2025

Tautomers are chemical structures that readily interconvert under given conditions. For example, an amino acid has a neutral form, and a zwitterionic form with separated positive and negative charges. Cheminformatics packages have algorithms to enumerate tautomers based on rules. Which algorithms produce the most tautomers? And how successful is InChI at representing with a single representation all tautomers of a given structure?

Published: January 2025

Depression is the primary cause of psychological distress, particularly in a crisis like the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Primary healthcare structures don't seem to be able to identify and treat a sizable percentage of depressed individuals. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of undiagnosed depression in primary healthcare settings during the post-COVID-19 pandemic and its correlation with demographics and alcoholism. This cross-sectional study used the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) to measure depression levels and the FAST (Fast Alcohol Screening Test) to assess alcoholism. A total of 212 individuals (86 males, aged 51.22 ± 6.11, and 126 females, aged 49.75 ± 6.22) who visited a Primary Health Center in Western Greece between May 2022 and September 2022 were included in the study. Findings revealed the occurrence of undetected depression in a percentage of 63.2% of cases. More specifically, 36.8% of the sample showed no depressive symptoms at all, 28.3% had mild depression, 18.4% had moderate depression, and 16.5% had severe depression. However, gender and alcoholism did not seem to influence the occurrence of depressive symptoms somehow. The results offer significant evidence regarding the prevalence of depression and its inadequate diagnosis in primary healthcare settings throughout the post-COVID-19 era. Based on the findings, general practitioners, mental health professionals, and the personnel of a Primary Health structure can use these questionnaires as screening tools for depression and alcoholism problems during patients’ visits. Future longitudinal studies might be conducted to examine the enduring psychological impacts of the pandemic and develop a depression awareness campaign within the context of primary healthcare.
PERFORMANCES OF TWO PROTOTYPES OF LOG EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES USING THE SKYLINE SYSTEM
Authors: Endom Wesman , Astana Satria
Published: January 2025

Timber extraction from felling area to road side is not an easy job. This activity facing a number of  difficulties particularly due to geo-biophysical conditions, such as steep terrain, up and/or down-hill, valley or river-to be crossed, slippery road and also the size of the timber and low accessibility. To anticipate those obstacles two engineering designs of the skyline system had been tried, the so called Expo-2000 Generation-1, using gasoline engine of  6 HP (G-1), and Expo-2000 Generation-3 using dieselengine of  12 HP (G-3). G-1 model has been tested in Cimeong and Rancaparang in 2011. G-3 model has been examined in Cibatu Canjur and Cibaliung Banten in 2013. This paper evaluates the modification of skyline system for steep terrain and to compare the performance between two modified skyline systems, in term of productivity and cost. The data collected included working time, log volume extracted, log extraction distance and fuel used. Data were analyzed to get the average productivity and cost of operation. Result show that prototype G-3 with logs in horizontal position at a distance of  130-430 m, can extract logs averaging 1.72 m3/hr, at a cost of  about Rp 80,346/m3, while prototype G-1 and logs in vertical position at a  distance of  about 50-320 m, could only extract logs averaging ± 0.85 m3/ hr at a cost of about Rp 156,351/m3. It suggests that prototype Expo-2000 G-3 is more effective for log extraction logs in steep terrain.

Published: January 2025

Seawater intrusion is an entry process of  seawater to land. Many factors have caused seawater intrusion from freshwater exploitation until mangrove degradation.  Mangrove ecosystem is a type of  forest ecosystem which has an ability to reduce seawater intrusion. This paper analyzes the estimation  and prediction of  seawater intrusion and correlation between widths of  mangrove with seawater intrusion.   The relation analysis between the width of  mangrove greenbelt with seawater intrusion used an equation model to predict seawater intrusion. The research method used sampling technique, system analysis with powersim software, correlation analysis and mathematical method with trend line analysis. Results show that (1) the mangrove density in the coastal area is approximately 50 – 109 trees/ha. (2) Simulation results showed seawater intrusion rate was about 0.20 km year (with mangrove as a component system), but reached 0.3 – 0.4 km/year (without mangrove as a component system). (3) The simulation result also showed that freshwater salinity was estimated to increase from 1.92 ppt to 4.86 ppt. (4) The relation model between seawater intrusion and mangrove greenbelt showed that correlation coefficient was 0.97 with  the equation  seawater intrusion (m) = 2264.9 * exp (-0.009 * the width of  mangrove greenbelt (m)), the correlation of  mangrove width with seawater intrusion was 0.97. (5) Avicennia marina, Avicennia alba, Rhizophora styllosa, Sonneratia alba and Sonneratia caseolaris were the mangrove species that had the best ability to reduce seawater intrusion.
GENETIC DIVERSITY AND GENETIC RELATIONSHIP OF SENGON (Falcataria moluccana) REVEALED USING SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM (SNP) MARKERS
Authors: Yuskianti Vivi , Shiraishi Susumu
Published: January 2025

Producing seeds in seed orchards that retain a broad genetic diversity is important for the continued development of a species. The aim of this study was to find out the genetic diversity of, and genetic relationships between several populations of sengon (Falcataria moluccana) in the Candiroto seed orchard in Indonesia. Analysis using  twelve single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers showed that the total population had a high level of genetic diversity (He = 0.359±0.128); the Wamena population in Papua had the highest level. The close genetic relationship between this and the population from East Java suggested that the latter may have been introduced from Wamena. There was also a close genetic relationship between the populations from Central and West Java and that from Mindanao Island in The Phillipines. The high genetic diversity  of sengon in the Candiroto seed orchard provides a good basis for selection and breeding.
SOCIAL CAPITAL IN MANAGING MANGROVE AREA AS ECOTOURISM BY MUARA BAIMBAI COMMUNITY
Authors: Situmorang Rospita Odorlina
Published: January 2025

The success of managing the natural environment by involving the community is strongly influenced by the local social conditions. This paper analyzes social capital inherent in the Muara Baimbai Community in Sei Nagalawan Village to manage the mangrove forest as an area valued for tourism. The study was conducted in Muara Baimbai Mangrove Area, Sei Nagalawan Village, Perbaungan District, Serdang Bedagai Regency on June until December 2014. Data were collected by observation, interview using a structured questionnaire, and in-depth interviews. The Muara Baimbai Community has strong social capital in managing the mangrove ecotourism area. An indicator of a strong social capital is a community institution which is run properly. The success of the community to rehabilitate the mangrove area in Sei Nagalawan and to utilise its resources in a sustainable manner is the result of high levels of participation of the members and the role of active cadres as symbolic power that encourage, drive, and motivate the community in their struggle. Strong motivation, fair work allocation and benefits among the members, strong internal connection, and wide external network are very important to strengthen social capital. Furthermore, the increasing welfare gained by the coastal community through increasing economic income, job opportunities, and knowledge are the benefits derived from the sustainable forest management that can maintain the existence of the community and their natural resource

Published: January 2025

Local communities have been using forest land area far before Industrial Forest Plantation (HTI) permit was granted. The overlapping land use among different users potentially leads to conflict. This paper studies conflict resolution creatively and collaboratively with forest management. Conflict resolution is based on the Creativity and Collaboration Action - Forest Management (CCA-FM) model on field exploration that created participation pattern of all parties in the vision of forestry science principles as the basis of policymaking. Convergent Parallel Mixed Method (CPMM) approaches with Rapid Land Tenure Assessment (RaTA) were used. Results show that claim of the community as the owner of the authority rights and dominance of the local elites, greatly affect the action situation. However, the policy options taken by the government towards policy outcomes do not tend to consider the field conditions. The CCA-FM model has been implemented in five villages. The community strongly supports the government to devolve the management rights to the community and to facilitate the transfer of knowledge, technology, market information, supporting all parties, and collaboration on business license management. Research results recommend the CCA-FM model could be a basis for building village self-reliance and improving the performance of the Forest Management Unit (FMU).

Published: January 2025

Parkia timoriana (DC) Merr (popularly known as tree bean) is a leguminous tree species found distributed in several South-East Asian countries like Indonesia, Japan, Malayasia, Phillipines, Thailand, Vietname including the mid and foothills of eastern Himalayas. We identified the seed source of this species and grouped them into different agro climatic zones based on moisture index and precipitation. The resultant agroclimatic zones were analysed for significant influences on quantitative traits of seeds and seedlings of P. timoriana and their contribution to germination and growth. Analysis of variance showed significant variation (p humid > subhumid > perhumid. We recommend tree breeders to chose of P. timotiana from arid zone (MI = -20 to -60) for establishing seed orchard for optimum yield. Further, ARCGIS interpolation tool could be of use for predicting better seed source of this species in plantation programmes.

Published: January 2025

The rural communities living around the National Park are generally farmers. They are less empowered and classified as poor. This is due to the relatively low capacity of farmers. In order to be more empowered, the farmers need to improve their capacity. This study aimed to analyze the factors that directly and indirectly affect the capacity building of agroforestry farmers around the National Park. This study was conducted in Kuningan and Majalengka districts of West Java Province for four months, from July to October 2017. Sampling technique used was random sampling with cluster location was agroforestry Forest Farmer Group (FFG) in the buffer zone of Gunung Ciremai National Park. The sample size was 310 members of agroforestry Forest Farmer Group. The results showed that the capacity of agroforestry farmers around the National Park was low. This is due to the low level of formal education, farming experience, cosmopolitan level, and narrow farmland of farmers. It is also caused by low environmental support factors (economic accessibility, ecological conditions, FFG role) and low participation of farmers in agroforestry both economically and socially.

Published: January 2025

Perspective difference of users related to forest area utilization has caused tenurial conflicts, as well as, possible utilization conflicts. This study aimed to understand stakeholders’ interests and influences as exogenic factors that caused the non-optimal institutional performance. This study used an institutional diagnostic approach to understand how the situation and action arena is from inter-influencing institutional entities. Data collection used the convergent parallel mixed method (CPMM) approach, while analysis used the rapid land tenure assessment (RaTA) method. Further, this study used the Institutional Analysis Development (IAD) method to explain how the exogenic factors influence each other. The results showed that the characteristics of biophysical attributes, community attributes, as well as, rule in use were inter-influencing within the action arena. Besides, based on the post-prospective analysis result, policy decision opted by the government tend to not consider the community existence, who have been using the land for their livelihood. This situation has caused utilization conflicts between communities and concession holders. Thus, this study recommends: 1) the stakeholders to establish a communication forum for all parties to obtain clear information about forest utilization and to support institutional performance; 2) institutionalizing local community to govern forest utilization, and 3) determining management and concept of sustainable forest, as well as, policy making.

Published: January 2025

The current state of entrepreneurial motivation among students in Indonesia presents a noteworthy concern, as it appears to be relatively low, thus impacting the nation’s economic growth and employment prospects. This study seeks to explore the various factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions among college students, with a particular focus on family environment, locus of control, and adversity quotient. To conduct this research, we utilized a survey methodology, distributing questionnaires to 120 students from two esteemed Indonesian universities who have completed entrepreneurship courses and are actively involved in entrepreneurial initiatives. The findings revealed that family environment and adversity quotient exert a significant positive influence on students' entrepreneurial intentions, while locus of control did not show a substantial effect. These results emphasize the vital importance of family support and resilience in fostering entrepreneurial aspirations among university students. This research contributes meaningfully to the existing literature on entrepreneurship by illuminating the key roles of family environment and adversity quotient in shaping entrepreneurial intentions. It would be beneficial for future studies to further investigate the role of locus of control and to consider additional factors that may impact entrepreneurial intentions, thereby enriching our understanding of how to encourage entrepreneurial endeavors among students.

Published: January 2025

Facial features (e.g. eyebrows, mouth) give important visual cues to help convey emotions such as happiness, anger, and sadness. It is ultimately through these face-to-face interactions where accurate interpretation and response to facial expression benefits social-emotional development by helping humans foster strong interpersonal relationships. The problem is that recent societal factors, such as increased smartphone/social media use and the Coronavirus pandemic have reduced the opportunities to engage in natural, face-to-face social interaction. The purpose of our study was to determine whether the presence of eyebrows in photographs is essential for interpreting emotion and whether participant accuracy and/or reaction time (RT) is age-dependent. We hypothesized that eyebrow presence in unaltered control photographs would enhance participant recognition of emotion compared to experimental photographs with removed eyebrows and that participant accuracy and RT would differ by age group, especially between adults (21+ years) and adolescents (12-18 years). Our findings revealed that removing eyebrows results in a significant decrease in participant accuracy to recognize anger from experimental facial images. In addition, upper school (US) adolescents (15‑18 years) were more likely to misidentify emotions from eyebrow-obscured photographs compared to middle school (MS) adolescents (12-14 years) and adults (21+ years). Finally, US adolescents took significantly longer (> 5 seconds) to identify emotion from eyebrow-obscured photographs of the human visage compared to US adolescents shown the same unaltered control photographs. Therefore, the age group studied that is at most risk of facial misinterpretation and delayed response to facial cues which help foster interpersonal relationships are US adolescents.
Evolution of mesoscale vortices in the ocean into filaments inferred from altimeter data
Authors: Zhmur V. V. , Belonenko T. V. , Novoselova E. V. , Suetin B. P.
Published: January 2025

Satellite remote sensing techniques offer a wealth of optical, infrared (IR), and radar images of the ocean surface, where we can observe numerous elongated vortex structures known as filaments. These filaments become readily visible in the imagery due to the presence of surfactant films and/or floating algae clusters on the sea’s surface. Given their elongated form, automated vortex identification methods do not readily distinguish filaments from vortices. Nevertheless, both filaments and vortices exhibit notable characteristics such as high relative vorticity and kinetic energy. The process by which vortices transform into filaments is a result of their interaction with spatially non-uniform background currents. In this study, we apply the theoretical principles regarding the stretching of mesoscale ocean vortices to real ocean conditions, inferred from altimeter data. The primary objective of this research is to assess the proportion of mesoscale ocean vortices that undergo stretching to become filaments, consequently facilitating the redistribution of energy from the mesoscale to the submesoscale. We provide a total assessment of the portion of the World Ocean’s surface where mesoscale vortices undergo significant stretching. We present maps that indicate the geographical distribution of regions where vortex stretching is not restricted and offer an interpretation of the findings. The reduction in the inherent energy of vortices due to the stretching induced by the background flow is explained as a potential mechanism for energy transfer from the vortex to the flow, possibly leading to the manifestation of the negative viscosity effect within this system.

Published: January 2025

This study presents the results of the analysis of a long-term dataset of observations on the spatial-temporal variability of submesoscale eddy characteristics in Lake Ladoga using radar imagery. The initial data consisted of more than 3500 high-resolution Sentinel-1A/B satellite images for the period from January 2016 to December 2022. Generalized maps of the occurrence of submesoscale structures on the lake’s waters for the year and by seasons are presented. Average annual and seasonal estimates of the variability of the mean diameters of eddies with different type of rotation were obtained. It was shown that submesoscale structures are a common phenomenon throughout the lake during the period of direct thermal stratification and the presence of a near-surface pycnocline. Cyclonic structures with sizes up to 3 km were most frequently registered, which does not exceed the estimates of the average Rossby deformation radius for Lake Ladoga. Eddies were most often observed north of Valaam Island. No significant interannual variability in their characteristics was found; they were close to the average multi-year values. A pronounced intrayear variability in the characteristics of submesoscale structures was revealed, both in frequency and locations, and to a lesser extent in their sizes. It was established that eddies were most frequently observed in areas with depths of 50–100 meters, near frontal zones of different genesis. In specific cases, the instability in frontal zones in Lake Ladoga appears to be a dominant factor in the formation of small eddy groups, especially in the absence of significant topographic effects or wind influence.

Tidal dynamics along the shelf break and continental slope of the Kamchatka Peninsula, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, are a significant but underexplored factor influencing the hydrological variability. This variability affects the distribution of early life stages of the Eastern Kamchatka population of Walleye pollock, a key species for Russian fisheries. Its spawning occurs mainly in the deep-sea canyons of Avacha and Kronotsky Bays. This study aims to describe the methodology developed to investigate the impact of tidally driven hydrophysical processes on pollock egg distribution, with a focus on its application in the deep-sea canyons of Avacha Bay. Two experiments were conducted in the "Central" and "Northern" canyons during the peak of pollock spawning in April 2024, coinciding with the spring tide when tidal effect on the environment is maximized. The experimental methodology was based on frequent hydrological profiling and layer-by-layer sampling of ichthyoplankton, carried out over a day. The study identified a 50-meter amplitudes of vertical oscillation of the thermocline, located at 320–420 meter between warm and cold intermediate layers, with a distinct diurnal rhythm in the "Central" canyon and semidiurnal one in the "Northern" canyon. These results highlight the critical role of tidal dynamics in shaping hydrophysical variability, which in turn potentially affects pollock eggs vertical redistribution and development in the deep-sea canyons of Avacha Bay.

A healthy lifestyle from an early age is an important foundation to support children's growth and development and prevent various diseases in the future. This Community Service Program aims to provide education about healthy living culture to children, to increase their awareness of the importance of maintaining physical and mental health. This activity is carried out through interactive and fun approaches, such as educational games, picture stories, and simulations of healthy living practices, including handwashing habits, a balanced diet, physical activity, and the importance of maintaining a clean environment. The method used involves the active participation of children and mentoring from parents or teachers to ensure the sustainability of the practices taught. The evaluation was carried out by measuring the improvement of children's understanding through pre-test and post-test as well as direct observation of changes in their behavior. The results of this program show a significant increase in children's knowledge and awareness of a healthy living culture. This program is expected to be a model that can be replicated in various communities to create a healthier and more productive generation.

Published: January 2025

El artículo analiza el impacto de la alfabetización financiera en la formación de competencias emprendedoras en estudiantes universitarios, destacando el rol de las universidades en la integración de conocimientos financieros y habilidades empresariales. Mediante una revisión de literatura académica y el análisis de estrategias pedagógicas, se aborda cómo estas competencias promueven la intención de emprender y la sostenibilidad de negocios en mercados competitivos. Los hallazgos revelan que una sólida educación financiera, combinada con la alfabetización digital, fomenta decisiones informadas, planificación estratégica y autoconfianza para enfrentar riesgos. Además, se subraya la importancia de las experiencias prácticas, el apoyo familiar-social y la adaptación de los programas educativos a contextos socioeconómicos específicos. Sin embargo, se identifican brechas en la investigación, particularmente en la transición de la intención a la práctica empresarial y en el desarrollo de habilidades avanzadas, como la gestión de deudas y el financiamiento innovador.

A Superlotação e as Condições Desumanas nas Prisões Brasileiras
Authors: Silva Brito Tiago
Published: January 2025

O estudo tem como objetivo analisar a superlotação e as condições desumanas vivenciadas nas prisões brasileira como uma lesão à dignidade da pessoa humana. Este estudo caracteriza-se como uma revisão narrativa da literatura, com uma abordagem qualitativa e descritiva. O levantamento de artigos foi realizado nas bases de dados da CAPES e do Google Acadêmico. Os critérios de inclusão adotados foram: publicações em português, artigos completos disponíveis para acesso, e materiais publicados a partir de 2014, com foco em discussões sobre o sistema penitenciário brasileiro. Adicionalmente, foram excluídos artigos que não abordassem diretamente a realidade prisional brasileira ou que se limitassem a análises internacionais sem correlação com o contexto nacional. Além das publicações acadêmicas, também foi consultado o Levantamento Nacional de Informações Penitenciárias (INFOPEN), com o objetivo de apresentar dados oficiais atualizados sobre a população carcerária, taxas de ocupação e infraestrutura das unidades prisionais brasileiras. Em conclusão, o sistema carcerário brasileiro necessita de uma transformação profunda que vá além das medidas paliativas. É imperativo que se adotem políticas públicas que visem à humanização das prisões, o respeito aos direitos fundamentais e à efetiva ressocialização dos apenados. Somente dessa forma o Brasil poderá enfrentar a crise carcerária e garantir a efetivação dos direitos humanos das pessoas privadas de liberdade.
Determinantes de la intención de compra a través de medios virtuales de Millennials en la ciudad de Riobamba para el período 2024
Authors: Carrillo Carrillo Jefferson Daniel , González Bautista María Gabriela
Published: January 2025

El presente estudio, fundamentado en la teoría de la acción planificada, tiene como objetivo analizar los factores sociodemográficos y psicológicos que influyen en la intención de compra en línea, mediante el uso de modelos de regresión logística ordinal (Logit) y Probit. La metodología se basó en el análisis de datos obtenidos a través de encuestas aplicadas a una muestra representativa, evaluando variables clave como género, edad, nivel de escolaridad, ingresos, actitud promedio, control percibido, norma subjetiva y conducta. Los resultados revelan que el nivel de escolaridad, el control percibido y la norma subjetiva son los factores más significativos y consistentes en ambos modelos, evidenciando su influencia positiva en las categorías superiores de intención de compra. En contraste, variables como género, ingresos y edad no resultaron estadísticamente significativas. El modelo Logit presentó un mejor ajuste general en comparación con el Probit, aunque ambos identificaron patrones consistentes. Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de factores educativos, psicológicos y sociales en la intención de compra en línea, en línea con los postulados de la teoría de la acción planificada. Asimismo, sugieren la necesidad de desarrollar estrategias de marketing y políticas públicas que fortalezcan la percepción de control y el apoyo social, especialmente en poblaciones con niveles educativos más altos, para fomentar el comercio electrónico.
¿Qué resina resiste mejor a la tinción en la práctica clínica? Un Análisis Comparativo de Opallis, 3m Z-350 y forma frente a Agentes Pigmentantes
Authors: Zeballos Alcocer Eliana , Ibáñez Duran Álvaro
Published: January 2025

Se realizó un estudio con el objetivo de evaluar la estabilidad del color y la resistencia a la tinción causada en las piezas dentarias obturadas con las resinas (OPALLIS, 3M Z-350 y FORMA) por el consumo de café, Coca-Cola y vino tinto. Para ello, se sumergieron dientes rellenos con estas resinas en estas bebidas durante un mes y se analizaron los cambios de color y textura. Los resultados mostraron que todas las resinas se tiñeron en mayor o menor medida, pero la resina 3M Z-350 fue la que menos se pigmentó, especialmente con vino tinto. Sin embargo, ninguna resina resultó completamente inmune a la tinción. El vino tinto fue el líquido que más manchó las resinas, confirmando lo que ya se sabía sobre su capacidad para teñir. En resumen, este estudio demuestra que las resinas dentales pueden cambiar de color con el consumo de ciertas bebidas, siendo el vino tinto el más agresivo. Aunque la resina 3M Z-350 mostró una mayor resistencia, ninguna fue completamente inmune a la tinción. Estos hallazgos son relevantes para los pacientes y odontólogos al momento de elegir el material de restauración más adecuado.

Authors: Hari Nur Evendi  , Muhajirin
Published: January 2025

Tradisi menggantung kaki kambing di Karang Agung memiliki nilai historis, sosial, dan spiritual sebagai ungkapan syukur dan simbol kebersamaan. Tradisi ini dimulai dengan kenduri, pemberian sedekah, dan menggantung kaki kambing di perahu baru sebagai perlindungan. Meskipun ada pandangan agama yang mengaitkannya dengan praktik tolak bala, masyarakat menyelaraskannya dengan ajaran Islam melalui doa dan kenduri. Penelitian kualitatif-deskriptif dan etnografi menunjukkan bahwa tradisi ini memperkuat identitas budaya, harmoni sosial, dan dapat ditafsirkan ulang dalam kerangka tauhid, menjadi simbol kebersamaan dan keberkahan.
