Published: March 2023

Gunung Padang merupakan tempat wisata di Cianjur yang merupakan kawasan megalitik tertua di Indonesia bahkan di dunia. Namun kondisi pengetahuan masyarakat pramuwisata terhadap obyek wisata sangat terbatas dan hanya mengacu pada pengetahuan turun-temurun. Atribut wisatawan di kawasan wisata juga sangat minim. Sejak adanya pandemi Covid-19, kunjungan wisatawan menjadi sepi, sehingga pengembangan tema dan atribut wisata serta adanya webdite diharapkan dapat meningkatkan nilai kunjungan wisatawan. Dalam kegiatan PKM ini, yang menjadi mitra adalah Yayasan Hafisun Alim 74 dan Tour Guide Gunung Padang. Permasalahan yang ada saat ini adalah kurangnya pengetahuan pemandu wisata dan belum adanya atribut wisata seperti brosur, buku panduan wisata dan infografis 2 bahasa, serta website. Solusi yang diberikan antara lain pelatihan Tour Guide umum dan religi, dan pendampingan pemberian atribut wisata pada pos informasi pramuwisata pada umumnya, dan sesuai tema khusus wawasan religi di Gunung Padang, serta pembuatan website pariwisata. Pemberian atribut wisata yang disambut baik oleh para mitra, menambah semangat Pokdarwis untuk terus memperkenalkan situs ini ke dunia internasional.

 

Mount Padang is a tourist attraction in Cianjur which is the oldest megalithic area in Indonesia and even in the world. However, the condition of the knowledge of the tour guide communities towards tourism objects is very limited and only refers to knowledge from generation to generation. Tourist attributes in the tourist area are also very minimal. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, tourist visits have become quiet, so the development of tourism themes and attributes and the existence of a webdite are expected to increase the value of tourist visits. In this PKM activity, the partners are the 74 Hafisun Alim Foundation and the Gunung Padang Tour Guide. The current problems are the lack of knowledge of tour guides and there are no tourist attributes such as brochures, travel guide books and 2 language infographics, as well as websites. The solutions provided include general and religious Tour Guide training, and assistance in providing tourist attributes at tourist guide information posts in general, and according to a special theme of religious insight in Gunung Padang, as well as creating a tourism website. The provision of tourism attributes that are welcomed by partners, increases the enthusiasm of Pokdarwis to continue to introduce this site to the world.
Pemberdayaan Potensi Desa Nelayan Sidamukti di Kabupaten Pandeglang melalui Pembuatan Kafe Kontainer

Published: March 2023

Desa Sidamukti, merupakan salah satu desa di Kecamatan Sukaresmi, Kabupaten Pandeglang, Provinsi Banten. Mayoritas penduduk bekerja sebagai Petani (33%) dan Nelayan (31%). Masalah utama yang dihadapi nelayan adalah banjir rob dan kemiskinan turun-temurun. Hal itu terjadi karena dalam setahun mereka hanya bisa melaut selama empat sampai enam bulan akibat angin barat dan gelombang yang tingginya mencapai hingga sepuluh meter. Saat musim angin topan mereka tidak memiliki mata pencaharian dan membiayai hidupnya dari pinjaman kepada tengkulak dengan bunga yang tinggi. Akibat utang ini, hasil tangkapan ikan harus dijual kepada tengkulak dengan harga murah. Hal ini menyebabkan pendapatan nelayan menjadi rendah, ditambah dengan kenaikan harga solar. Tim pengabdian mencoba memberikan solusi melalui penyuluhan tentang akses dan sumber permodalan selain tengkulak, serta pendampingan dalam pengelolaan lingkungan dengan membangun kafe kontainer yaitu “Cafe Desa Nelayan”. Hasil kegiatan ini berdampak pada peningkatan taraf hidup nelayan. Selain menambah pemahaman akan sumber modal yang lebih aman, mereka memiliki mata pencaharian lain ketika tidak bisa melaut. Hasil tangkapan bisa dijual dengan harga lebih tinggi dari harga tengkulak.

 

Sidamukti Village, is one of the villages in Sukaresmi District, Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province. The majority of the population work as Farmers (33%) and Fishermen (31%). The main problems faced by fishermen are tidal flooding and hereditary poverty. This happens because in a year they can only go to sea for four to six months due to westerly winds and waves that reach up to ten meters in height. During the hurricane season they did not have a livelihood and financed their lives from loans to middlemen with high interest rates. As a result of this debt, fish catches must be sold to middlemen at low prices. This causes fishermen's income to be low, coupled with the increase in diesel prices. The community service team tried to provide a solution through counselling about access and sources of capital other than middlemen, and assisting in environmental management by building a container cafe  namely "Cafe Desa Nelayan". These activities have an impact on improving the living standards of fishermen. In addition to increasing understanding of safer sources of capital, they have other livelihoods when unable to go to sea. The catch  can be sold at a higher price than the price of middlemen.

Published: March 2023

Isu gangguan kesehatan mental semakin marak dan ramai diperbincangkan, melihat banyaknya kejadian-kejadian diluar nalar manusia sehat, terlebih semakin meningkatnya kasus gangguan kesehatan mental yang dialami seorang ibu. Gangguan kesehatan mental pada ibu pascapersalinan lebih berisiko terjadi pada ibu muda yang masih remaja. Peralihan tanggung jawab seorang ibu dari seorang remaja yang tidak memiliki tanggung jawab terhadap kehidupan orang lain akan cenderung rentan terhadap perubahan fisik dan psikologis, sehingga ketidaksiapan remaja dalam melaksanakan tugas perkembangan orang dewasa dapat memicu depresi pascapersalinan dan baby blues. Sebagai perpanjangan tangan konselor di masyarakat, kader posyandu diharapkan mampu memberikan pelayanan dasar dalam upaya pencegahan gangguan mental. Kegiatan PKM dilaksanakan untuk kader posyandu di Kecamatan Ciomas, Kabupaten Serang dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan tentang pelayanan dasar dalam bimbingan dan konseling yang dapat diberikan kepada masyarakat. Pelatihan dan pendampingan ini melatih kader dalam pelaksanaan layanan informasi untuk meningkatkan kesadaran kesehatan mental pada ibu muda. Dengan dilaksanakannya pelatihan dan pendampingan ini, para kader memiliki keterampilan baru dalam memberikan informasi dan meningkatkan kesadaran kesehatan mental kepada ibu-ibu muda di Kabupaten Ciomas.

 

Mental health disorders in postpartum mothers are more at risk of occurring in young mothers who are in their teens. The transition of responsibility of a mother from a teenager who does not have responsibility for the lives of others will tend to be prone to physical and psychological changes, so that adolescents' unpreparedness in carrying out adult developmental tasks can trigger postpartum depression and baby blues. As an extension of counselors in the community, posyandu cadres are expected to be able to provide basic services in an effort to prevent mental disorders. PKM activities are carried out for posyandu cadres in Ciomas District, Serang Regency with the aim of increasing knowledge and skills about basic services in guidance and counseling that can be provided to the community. This training and mentoring trains cadres in the implementation of information services to increase mental health awareness in young mothers. With the implementation of this training and mentoring, the cadres have new skills in providing information and raising mental health awareness to young mothers in Ciomas District.

Тенденції розвитку та застосування мережецентричної системи керування підрозділами у сучасних конфліктах
Authors: Попов М. О. , Нос І. А. , Попова Н. О. , Губарєва О. П.
Published: March 2023

У статті коротко обговорюються основні тенденції розвитку та застосування елементів мережецентричної системи керування підрозділами у сучасних конфліктах (війнах). Розглядаються досягнення провідних країн світу у цьому напрямку. Наводиться приклад застосування елементів мережецентризму Збройними Силами (ЗС) України під час повномасштабної агресії Російської Федерації на території України. Робиться висновок про те, що сьогоднішнє бачення мережецентричної війни істотно відрізняється від того, що вкладалося в цю концепцію первісно. Якщо раніше за умов класичного зіткнення основною метою було знищення реального супротивника та його ресурсів, то зараз пріоритети змінилися: на перший план виводиться інфраструктура, як фізична, так й інформаційна. Головною метою мережецентричного удару стає дезорганізація противника, позбавлення його єдиної структури, руйнація системи передачі команд і розсинхронізація дій військ противника.

Published: March 2023

The small portion of available fresh water for human consumption is being contaminated by various anthropogenic sources at a very alarming rate. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities. Water pollution is one of many types of pollution which results from contaminants being introduced into the natural environment. Pollution causes adverse change. Pollution of groundwater can occur from on-site sanitation systems, landfills, effluents from wastewater treatment plants, petrol filling stations, leaching sewers, or over-application of fertilizers in agriculture. With this view, an attempt was made to assess the quality of groundwater in the rural area near Vijayawada by examining various physicochemical parameters such as colour, turbidity, odour, pH, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, fluoride, iron, and magnesium to check the suitability of water for human consumption. In this work, samples of water were collected and various parameters regarding the water quality were analysed &compared with Indian Standards: 10500 (Drinking water specifications) to check the acceptability of water for drinking purposes. Further, an attempt is also made to design a low-cost groundwater purifier that works on the process of adsorption using naturally available materials.

Adolescents are facing challenges which puts them in risks of having emotional problems. Early detection of those who are at risk developing mental health problem is required to prevent them from worsening and thus need advanced and costly clinical treatments. However, students have limited access to mental health services due to lack of knowledge of mental health. Social stigmatization has also been a barrier to access the services. Numbers of mental health digital application has been developed. There are controversies whether digital application measures one’s mental health status.  The study compared scores of depression, anxiety, and stress subscales of DASS-42 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale 42 items) obtained by paper-and-pencil (conventional) questionnaire and by GALAW V.2 android-based application. It is hypothesized that insignificant scores differences between the modes of measurement demonstrated that the digital application could replace the conventional questionnaire. Thirty high school students (N=30) participated in the study. The conventional measurement (paper-and-pencil questionnaire) was conducted first. After 60 minutes break, the students completed the measurement provided digitally in the application. It showed that the mean of anxiety subscale did not significantly differ (t=1.22; p=.23) whether using digital or conventional mode. On the other hand, the paired t-test demonstrated significant mean differences in the depression (t=3.63, p=.00) and stress (t=2.32, p=.03) subscales of DASS-42. Finally, the result of the study cannot be generalized due to the small number of participants. It is advised to have more participants to represent the population. Other measurements such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were highly recommended for validity purpose

Sponsorluk, küreselleşmenin ve rekabetin arttığı günümüz dünyasında gelişmekte olan bir iletişim aracıdır. Sponsor markalar, sponsorluk faaliyetleri ile toplum faydası ve marka imajı sağlarken aynı zamanda kurumun halkla ilişkiler hedeflerine de hizmet etmektedir. Sponsorluk türlerinden biri olan spor sponsorluğu da medyanın gelişmesiyle daha da belirgin hale gelmiştir. Literatürde spor sponsorluğu ve sponsorluk kapsamında yapılmış birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Ancak Türkiye’de spor sponsorlarını sağlıklı ve sağlıksız olarak nitelendiren bir çalışmanın bulunmadığı görülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, 2021-2022 sezonu Türkiye Spor Toto Süper Lig’inde yer alan futbol takımlarına sponsor olan markaları sağlık ve sağlıksız olarak nitelendirmektir. Türkiye’de ve Türk takımlarına yönelik böyle bir çalışmanın yapılmamış olması araştırmanın özgün değerini oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, futbol takımlarının web sayfalarında belirtilen sponsorluklar esas alınarak 12-26 Nisan 2022 tarihleri arasında içerik analizi ile incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda en fazla sponsorluğun gıda sektöründe en az sponsorluğun güvenlik sektöründe yer aldığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen diğer bir sonuç ise Spor Toto Süper Lig takımlarına sponsor markaların çoğunlukla gri kategorisinde yer aldığı ardından ise yeşil kategorisinde bulunduğudur.

Published: March 2023

A new species of Hydnum subgenus Rufescentia is described based on collections made in Canada (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador) and the USA (New York). The new species is found in conifer dominated forests (e.g..Abies, Picea) and occurs in bryophyte-covered
(Sphagnum, Bazzania) soil. It differs from the ecologically similar H. quebecense in the duller brown colors of the basidiomes, the smaller basidiospores and the basidia predominantly with three or four sterigmata. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS region place H. subconnatum
and H. oregonense as the closest relatives of H. atlanticum, but these taxa differ in the larger basidiospores, number of sterigmata per basidium, caespitose growth and/or geographic distribution.
Disproof of the Principle and Theory of Relativity. Has the Michelson-Morley Experiment been Serving to Protect the Wrong Theory?
Authors: Tadesse Henok
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the principle of relativity is disproved based on accepted experimental evidence and experience. We argue that the Michelson-Morley experiment is not a proof of relativity at all. In fact, in a complete surprise to the scientific community, the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment has been an effective ‘hiding place’ for the special theory of relativity.

The manuscript has been accepted for publication. The citation is:Eberhart, J., Bryce, D., & Baker, S. T. (2024). Staying self-regulated in the classroom: The role of children's executive functions and situational factors. British Journal of Educational Psychology, 00, 1–16. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjep.12700Background: Self-regulation is crucial for children’s learning and development. Several studies have explored children’s inter-individual differences in self-regulation, but little is known about sources of intra-individual variation in self-regulation.Aims: This study addressed the variability of children’s self-regulation across typical classroom situations and how this might be associated with children’s executive functions.Sample: The study included 148 children (54.7% girls; Mage = 56.73 months).Methods: Self-regulation was observed with an observational measure in teacher-led and child-led activities within naturalistic classroom settings. Children’s executive functions were assessed with direct assessments at the start and end of the school year.Results: Linear mixed effect models showed that children demonstrated higher levels of self-regulation in child-led in comparison to teacher-led activities. Children with higher levels of executive functions at the start of the school year showed less variation across teacher-led and child-led activities in comparison to children with lower levels of executive functions.Conclusion: This suggests that children with higher levels of executive functions are more able to adapt to different situations, highlighting the importance of fostering these skills in early childhood.

Gender Inequality in Developing Countries: A Multifactorial Review
Authors: Khan Ahmad , Tidman Melanie M.
Published: March 2023

Historically in some cultures, females are acknowledged differently than males, encouraging girls to follow specific cultural gender-typed behavior and norms. Girls are not perceived similarly to boys, who are considered superior with more intelligence, competence, and academically capabilities. In contrast, girls are deemed to have mediocre potential. All these gender-stereotyped cultural beliefs and practices make a platform for the perception that boys are superior to girls. Such stereotypes about women/girls negatively impact their access to education, work, and healthcare services. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the perception of native Afghans regarding the problems and causes of gender inequality in Afghanistan and participants' opinions of cultural barriers and lack of access to healthcare for women and girls. A qualitative survey using a Likert scale was conducted, and data were collected for questions designed by a Focus Group of Afghan natives. The article ends with a more focused review of the perception of inequality in education for females in Afghanistan.
Assessing the Welfare Effects of Rising Prices of Animal-Derived Sources of Food on Urban Households in Indonesia
Authors: Khoiriyah Nikmatul , Forgenie David , Iriany Atiek , Apriliawan Hadi
Published: March 2023

Animal-derived food is a major source of protein for urban households in Indonesia. Rise in animal-derived food prices reduces consumption, causing households to consume less food than the recommended amount which can lead to serious health deficiencies that has serious implications for health and well-being in the long-run. The effects of rising prices of animal-derived protein source on urban households’ welfare is examined in this study. The Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System model is used to analyze household consumption patterns, while the welfare effects of rising prices is measured using compensating and equivalent variation. The data for this study came from the 2021 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), which included 112,569 households. Price elasticity of demand reveals that fish was the most responsive to changes in price while eggs were the least. Based on income elasticity of demand, all animal-derived sources of protein were found to be luxurious except for eggs which were found to be a normal good. The welfare exercise found that increase in prices resulted in approximately Rp. 23,262 per month in welfare loss when there is no substitution. However, when there is substitution, welfare loss as measured by CV was Rp. 22,308 and EV was Rp. 21,052 per month. Urban households were found to experience the most welfare loss from price increase of eggs but the least from fish. It was also found that when urban households are able to substitute when prices increase, the welfare impact is smaller than when they are not able to do so. Hence, policy aimed at diversifying urban households’ consumption patterns when it comes to protein consumption is suggested as a means of attaining protein food and nutrition security.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of complex tasks on independent strategy use. For this purpose, a two-stage study was carried out. At the first stage, reading strategies were taught to the students who were assigned the experimental groups through Gradual Release of Responsibility Model, and at the second stage, some complex tasks were designed; and were tested in order to see if they would have an impact on students’ independent strategy use without the guidance of anyone. This study is a quasi-experimental study; and the study group consists of a total of 72 middle school students, 24 of which are in the experimental groups, while the remaining 48 students are in the control groups. The research results showed that explicit strategy instruction through the Gradual Release of Responsibility Model, and subsequently, that engaging students in complex tasks promote the independent strategy use.

The cognitive archeology of sociocultural lifeforms
Authors: GUÉNIN--CARLUT Avel , White Ben , Sganzerla Lorena
Published: March 2023

We draw from the recent enactivist literature to articulate an operational definition of Wittgensteinien forms of life as a self-productive collection of constraints over collective behavior. We propose that humans integrate and enact those account through the Active Inference of shared “regimes of attentions”, which are experienced as embedded normativity within direct engagement with a shared sociocultural niche. Given those elements, we discuss how sociocultural lifeforms “encode information” in the material niche, and discuss how this information may be recovered by cognitive archeologists.
Redundancy and Economy as a Dialectical Manifestation of Language Units
Authors: Gizi Isayeva Safura Ilgar
Published: March 2023

This article deals with the principles of redundancy and economy as a dialectical manifestation of language units. In language, the principles of excess and economy form a dialectical unity. The ratio of economy and redundancy depends on the morphological structure of the language, the functioning of its elements, the analyzed level, the duality of language units, etc. What appears as surplus from one point of view is perceived as economy from another; often those that are redundant in content are considered economical in expression. In order to correctly assess the role and place of the principle of economy in the development and functioning of the language, it is necessary to investigate what the essence of this principle is, its source and the means of its implementation in the language. The study investigated that the principle of economy is universal, that is, it acts as one of the main reasons for changes in all languages. The study concluded that the principles of economy and redundancy help to reveal the essence of the most important processes of language activity. It is necessary to see the manifestation of economy not only where the language "shrinks", but also where it "expands".
Epidemiological tag I: Derivation of the Kermack-McKendrick model
Authors: Mason Zebedee
Published: March 2023

The discrete stochastic process that is the children’s game of tag is modified to be an SIR model with some similarities to the chain binomial model of Reed-Frost. Implemented on a computer as a homogeneous Agent Based Model it is shown that, when averaged, the reproduction rate matches that of the deterministic Kermack-McKendrick model.
A metrological approach to social sustainability metrics in municipalities
Authors: Karlsson Simon , Melin Jeanette , Svensson Hanna , Wisén Jacob
Published: March 2023

This paper presents a metrological approach for constructing reasonable and meaningful measurements of social sustainability in municipalities. The approach builds on rigorous conceptual definitions of the attributes to be measured, includes a usability focus, and extends the recently developed model ‘man as measurement instrument’ – including the application of item response theory (IRT) – into social sustainability metrics in municipalities. To achieve this, we emphasize the unique metrological properties of the Rasch model as a specific type of IRT. We further illustrate the approach to the sustainability aspect of quality of life (QoL) using data from the Swedish open database, Kolada, where municipality attributes are measured relative to where they have been and where they want to go. This can provide fit-for-purpose metrics to be used in developing more meaningful and effective municipal policies and sustainability programs.

Le Projet sur la désinformation électorale au Québec visait à identifier et évaluer la propagation et les effets des fausses informations circulant durant l’élection provinciale québécoise de 2022. Le Projet visait également à examiner la couverture médiatique de la mésinformation, ainsi que les perceptions des citoyens sur ce phénomène. Pour ce faire, le Projet s’appuyait sur une veille humaine et informatisée des publications sur les médias sociaux en lien avec l’élection, de même que d’un sondage préélectoral et postélectoral représentatif de la population québécoise visant à évaluer l’exposition aux nouvelles vraies et fausses et les perceptions des citoyens sur l’environnement d’information et l’intégrité de l’élection. Les résultats montrent que la mésinformation est demeurée concentrée au sein de communautés spécifiques en ligne et a eu relativement peu d'influence sur l'élection. Les Québécois considèrent qu'il est difficile de distinguer l'information factuelle de la mésinformation et ont une compréhension différente du phénomène en fonction de leurs opinions politiques. Malgré la circulation de narratifs de fraude électorale, le niveau de confiance dans l'intégrité de l'élection est similaire à celui observé lors des élections précédentes. Le rapport offre des recommandations pour diminuer la propagation et l'influence de la mésinformation.

Published: March 2023

Research on the application of social networks in building personal brands of Vietnamese young people is approached by the research team in terms of: frequency of Vietnamese youth using social networks, understanding and current status of Vietnamese youth using social networks. Use social media to build your personal brand. The research was carried out through literature review and sociological investigation. The research results show that the current level of young people using social networks is quite high (4.28 points on the Likert 5 scale), up to 53.3% of the respondents use social networks over 4 hours per day. The survey subjects also showed the need for personal branding (2.66 points on the Likert scale 3) and showed interest in building a personal brand with a personal mark (3.68 points on the Likert 5 scale). However, in the 10 content of personal branding according to Saokim Brank (2021), only 2 contents "Be yourself" and "Build consistent words and images" scores represent the level of implementation, and the remaining contents are only shown at the desired level. From the research results, the authors made some exchanges and discussions with the hope that young people will use "Social Networks" more effectively in building personal brands.
