Published: September 2023

O advento da pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil explicitou ainda mais as diferentes realidades
sociais coexistentes no país e evidenciou a grande população que vive em vulnerabilidade social,
reacendendo as discussões acerca da in(segurança) alimentar e nutricional e dos seus impactos na
vida e na saúde de muitos brasileiros. O presente trabalho demonstrou que os riscos para a
Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN) dos brasileiros apresentavamse desde o ano de 2016, com
o desmonte de políticas públicas e cortes orçamentários, sendo agravados pela emergência da
epidemia da COVID-19. O contexto pandêmico exigiu agilidade e eficiência na articulação de
medidas governamentais nas três esferas de gestão, reivindicando ações urgentes em resposta as
diferentes problemáticas originadas ou agravadas pela pandemia, para que se assegurasse o acesso
à alimentação adequada e saudável, com a finalidade de reduzir os impactos negativos da doença
na condição dos mais vulneráveis. Assim, o presente estudo objetivou apresentar a situação de
(in)segurança alimentar e nutricional dos brasileiros, no contexto de pandemia Covid-19,
trazendo as medidas governamentais adotadas e suas repercussões, fomentando o debate sobre a
promoção e garantia da SAN e o controle da crise social e sanitária gerada pela mesma.
Conclui-se que a retomada e a ampliação de políticas para acesso imediato às necessidades
básicas, como as políticas de SAN, apresentam-se como alternativas capazes de reduzir os efeitos
negativos da pandemia, entretanto, os retrocessos e desmontes na área comprometeram a capacidade
de resposta governamental no contexto pandêmico.
Quality of legislative process during the time of the pandemic
Authors: Chandranegara Ibnu Sina , Cahyawati Dwi Putri
Published: September 2023

Due to opaque and hurried deliberation during the COVID-19 incident, Indonesia’s legal system has been low-quality. Matched to Rishan’s (2022) and Chandranegara and Cahyawati’s (2023) reports, there has been a decline in the quality of the legislative process due to the conflict of interest of the lawmakers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, laws are frequently created with little input and strict respect for procedural rules. This paper intends to answer two research questions, first, how and why the market’s power is interested in controlling the legal system, and second, what scenario would minimize and prevent the consequences of the influence. This study uses a normative legal research method with a conceptual approach. The study demonstrates that realizing the fulfilment of economic objectives can be achieved through the legislative process. As a result, the legislative process may lose its purpose. It is possible to hold this hostage starting with corrupt activities like bribery or political donations, which are typically linked to corruption, as well as a model of cognitive bias since lawmakers are subtly connected to corporate interests. As a result, lawmakers must stop business actors from having conflicts of interest.
Highly efficient and Transparent Tandem Luminescent Solar Concentrators Based on Colloidal Carbon Dots
Authors: Lin Jishuai , Wang Lihua , Jing Qiang , Zhao Haiguang
Published: September 2023

Compared to the silicon-based photovoltaics, large-area luminescent
solar concentrators (LSCs) can be used as smart PV window for
building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs). However, because of the low
quantum yield of the fluorophores, and reabsorption energy loss, the
current obtained large-area LSCs have low optical efficiency, which
required to design and synthesize high-quality fluorophores. Herein, we
demonstrated a highly efficient and transparent tandem LSCs based on
three types of carbon dots (C-dots). The blue and green C-dots were
synthesized using vacuum heating approach and the orange C-dots were
synthesized using solvothermal approach. The as-prepared B-, G- and
O-C-dots have the QYs of 90%, 73% and 72%, respectively, with large
Stokes shift (0.37 – 0.73 eV). By optimizing the concentration of the
C-dots in each layer, the best LSC (100 cm2) with tandem structure
exhibited an external optical efficiency of 8.0%, and a power
conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.6% under natural sunlight illumination
(65 mW/cm2). The simulations indicate that optimized tandem LSCs could
have a theoretical external optical efficiency over 12% for 1 m2
devices. The individual layer of the tandem LSC based on the
B-/G-/O-C-dots has the typical average visible transmission of 70%,
which makes the as-prepared LSCs suitable for commercial BIPVs.

Published: September 2023

This study investigates large-scale robotic systems depending on
Multi-Target Path Planning (MTPP), where mobile agents should plan for
their destination without collision and reach to the specified objective
places. They restrict the range of real-world domains where they are
applicable by using nonholonomic car-like agents instead of holonomic
ones. This essay provides a multi-agent path finding mathematical
formalization for the problem with known and unknown environments.
Conflict-Based Search presents a unique hierarchical search-based
solution. Omnidirectional multi-agent path planning has been proposed.
We have modified our algorithm to be able to plan for an omnidirectional
multi-agent mobile robot for multi-target in a warehouse environment by
applying agents to reach their goals without conflict with the obstacles
inside the environment. A comparative study has been made with related
works, our work shows better performance in time, cost, and path length.
Achieving Three Things at One Stroke: Separation of Oil/Water Emulsion Simultaneously Absorption of Heavy Metal Ion and Dyes by One Multifunctional Superhydrophilic Coating Membrane
Authors: Wang Zhecun , Guan Min , Yang Xin , Li Hanzhen , Li Shenghai , Chen Yaohan
Published: September 2023

Adsorption and separation are the most important chemical engineering
processes for wastewater treatment. Exerting microfiltration membranes
as the central separation technology and decorated it with absorption
property, forming absorptive-membranes, result in the separation and
purification of diverse wastewaters in an energy-efficient manner.
Herein, a versatile polyanionic coating with
superhydrophilicity/underwater superoleophobicity, superior
anti-oil-fouling, and efficient charges is acquired through
mussel-inspired co-deposition, followed by b-PEI functionalization,
N-alkylation, and anionization. Thanks to the
superhydrophilicity/underwater superoleophobicity, the as-prepared
microfiltration membrane achieves selective separation of oil/water
emulsions. Meanwhile, the functional membranes exhibited excellent
selective and efficient adsorption capacity for organic dyes and heavy
metal ions due to the abundant surface charges. Interestingly,
benefiting from superhydrophilicity and considerable surface charges,
the as-designed microfiltration membrane can realize selective and
efficient simultaneously adsorption and separation of wastewaters with
complicated components, including oil/water emulsions, organic dyes, and
heavy metal ion by the concept of “achieving three things at one
stroke”. Such a versatile and feasible strategy could pave a new path
for constructing multifunctional membranes for complex wastewater
treatment and purification.
Linking the Flow Regime of Papyrus Wetlands to Biologically-relevant Hydrologic Attributes
Authors: Oyarmoi Alem , Birkinshaw Stephen , Hewett Caspar J.M. , Fowler Hayley J.
Published: September 2023

The dominant plant species in many African wetlands is Cyperus papyrus.
Its adaption to saturated and low oxygen conditions and its dense
structure and height provide breeding and feeding grounds for unique
flora and fauna. As a keystone species adapted to local hydrology, the
flow regime of papyrus offers the full range of hydrologic conditions
and events essential to ecosystem health. However, no study has
attempted to link papyrus wetlands’ flow regimes to their
biologically-relevant hydrologic attributes. The Indicators of
Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) enable the evaluation of changes to flow
regimes by examining hydrologic records and linking them to
biologically-relevant hydrologic characteristics through the
Environmental Flow Components (EFCs) approach. This study assesses
hydrologic alterations of a papyrus wetland’s flow regime due to rice
irrigation. We develop a conceptual ecological model linking papyrus to
hydrologic attributes to determine the consequences of changed EFCs
(extreme low flows, base flow, high flow pulses, and small and large
floods) on papyrus as a habitat. We find that agricultural water
management considerably alters the magnitude, duration, timing and rate
of change of EFCs for the irrigated area to catchment area ratio greater
than 1:153, affecting both sexual and asexual reproduction in papyri
plants. Overall, a better understanding of the threats of water
diversion for agriculture is made by linking papyrus’ flow regimes to
biologically-relevant hydrologic attributes. Knowledge of the roles of
the various EFCs could provide opportunities for conserving and
protecting papyrus wetlands, especially for systems at risk of altered
flows.
3D internal crack propagation in brittle solids under non-uniform temperature field: Experimental and numerical simulation
Authors: Xiangyu Li , Haijun Wang , Lei Tang , Hongfei Chang , Yun-fei Wang , Yi Yu
Published: September 2023

：Thermal fracture is a common problem in engineering. Traditional
studies mainly addressed surface crack propagation, with limited
research on 3D internal crack propagation. This paper uses the 3D-ILC
method to fabricate 3D internal cracks of different positions within
semi-disc specimens. Physical experiments, numerical simulations and
fracture morphology analysis were conducted on the propagation of 3D
internal cracks under non-uniform temperature fields. The results
indicate the following: 1) In physical experiment, different crack
propagation modes were observed in group A at different heights,
including “n-shaped” and “u-shaped” cracks, while group B formed the
“s-shaped” cracks. 2) In numerical simulation, the crack propagation
length and deflection angle for crack tips on both sides are different
of the same specimen in group B. The K of the internal
cracks in group B cannot be overlooked, consistent with the location of
the “lance-like” fracture observed in the physical experiments. 3) In
fracture morphology, group A cracks have smooth fracture surfaces, which
are mode I-II mixed cracks, while group B cracks show lance-like
fracture, considered mode I-II-Ⅲ mixed cracks. The results provide an
experimental and theoretical basis for the study of 3D internal crack
propagation patterns under non-uniform temperature fields.
Neural circuitry of the suprachiasmatic nucleus and retrochiasmatic area regulating arousal
Authors: Chen Chang-Rui , Lu Jun
Published: September 2023

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and retrochiasmatic area (RCA)
innervate the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVH) that
projects to the brainstem arousal parabrachial nucleus (PB), suggesting
that SCN and RCA may regulate arousal, independent from the circadian
control circuit of arousal. To test the hypothesis, we used DREADDs
(Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs) to activate
these regions, and examine wakefulness. We found that chemo-stimulation
of the PVH, SCN, RCA, and PVH-PB pathway all significantly promoted
wakefulness, indicating that the SCN-RCA-PVH-PB circuit plays an
important role in SCN promoting arousal.
Neonatal hypofunction of NMDA receptors alters perforant path synaptic plasticity, filtering and impairs dentate gyrus-mediated spatial discrimination
Authors: Márquez Luis Alfredo , Lopez-Rubalcava Carolina , Galvan Emilio
Published: September 2023

Background and Purpose: Transient hypofunction of NMDARs represents a
convergence point for the onset and further development of psychiatric
disorders, including schizophrenia. Although the cumulative evidence
indicates dysregulation of the hippocampal formation in schizophrenia,
the integrity of the synaptic transmission and plasticity conveyed by
the somatosensorial inputs to the dentate gyrus, the perforant path
synapses, have barely been explored in this pathological condition.
Experimental Approach: We identified a series of synaptic alterations of
the lateral and medial perforant paths, in animals neonatally treated
with the NMDAR antagonist MK-801. The dysregulation here reported
suggests decreased cognitive performance, for which the dentate gyrus is
critical. Key Results: We identified alterations in the synaptic
properties of the lateral and medial perforant paths to the dentate
gyrus synapses in MK-801-treated animals. Altered glutamate release and
decreased synaptic strength precede an impairment in the induction and
expression of LTP and cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R)-mediated LTD.
Remarkably, by inhibiting the degradation of 2-arachidonoylglycerol, the
endogenous ligand of the CB1R, we restored the LTD in animals treated
with MK-801. Additionally, we show for the first time that spatial
discrimination, a cognitive task that requires dentate gyrus integrity,
is impaired in animals exposed to transient hypofunction of NMDARs.
Conclusion and Implications: Descriptive and mechanistic evidence
showing the dysregulation of glutamatergic transmission and synaptic
plasticity from the entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus is presented.
These findings may explain the cellular dysregulations underlying the
altered cognitive processing in the dentate gyrus associated with
schizophrenia.
Analysis of biochemical, genetic, and morphological adaptation focused on metamorphosis from Heliocidaris crassispina based on the transcriptomic and accurate genotyping strategy
Authors: Wang Yanzhe , Wang Guodong , Zhang Lili , Liang Qixu
Published: September 2023

Metamorphosis is the vital biological and morphologic process in sea
urchins with planktonic larval stage. With complex physiological and
biochemical mechanisms demanded during metamorphosis, high mortality is
always a problem in the purple sea urchin Heliocidaris
crassispina. In our study, the transcriptome of the entire individual
was assembled de novo and compared between eight-arm larva (LA)
and post-larva (PL) of H. crassispina, aimed to explore the
differential regulators associated with metamorphosis. Differential
expression genes (DEGs) analysis demonstrated 29,542 DEGs in two groups,
with 22,507 significant up-regulated genes and 7,035 significant
down-regulated genes, respectively. These DEGs may make a difference to
cellular components, molecular functions, and biological processes
correlated with metamorphosis. Afterward, with the threshold among
depths of SNPs, qualities of SNPs, Bonferroni Correction for
p-value, and minor allele frequency (MAF) values, 157 potential
positive SNPs associated with metamorphosis were screened from a total
of 672,329 SNPs in this RNA-seq. Among them, 8 candidate SNPs were
screened and genotyped accurately on SNP loci of 264 PL individuals and
288 LA individuals via Genotyping-in-thousands by sequencing technology
(GT-seq), respectively. Subsequent correlation analysis indicated that
three SNPs might be closely associated with the threshold trait that
metamorphoses rapidly or slowly. More importantly, these data suggest
that sea urchin H. crassispina could exhibit a biochemical-level
and genetic-level adaptive strategy when facing selection pressure. This
study lays a solid foundation for further exploring the molecular
mechanism of metamorphosis in purple sea urchin H. crassispina
and then provides basic data and reasonable methods to screen and
revalidate SNPs for metamorphic traits of purple sea urchin H.

Dose-dependent response of prefrontal transcranial direct current stimulation on heart rate variability: an electric field modeling study
Authors: Razza Lais , Smet Stefanie De , Nikolin Stevan , Cornelis Xander , Pulopulos Matias , Raedt Rudi De , Brunoni André , Vanderhasselt Marie-Anne
Published: September 2023

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the prefrontal cortex
(PFC) modulates the autonomic nervous system by activating deeper brain
areas via top-down pathway. However, effects on the nervous system are
heterogeneous and may depend on the amount of current that penetrates
the brain due to individual brain anatomical differences. Therefore,
investigated the variable effects of tDCS on heart rate variability
(HRV), a measure of the functional state of the autonomic nervous
system. Using three prefrontal tDCS protocols (1.5mA, 3mA and sham), we
associated the simulated individual electric field (E-field) magnitude
in brain regions of interest with the HRV effects. This was a
randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled and within-subject trial, in
which participants received tDCS sessions separated by two weeks. The
brain regions of interest were the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC), anterior
cingulate cortex, insula and amygdala. Overall, 37 participants (mean
age = 24.3 years, standard deviation = 4.8) were investigated,
corresponding to a total of 111 tDCS sessions. The findings suggested
that HRV, measured by Root Mean Squared of Successive Differences
(RMSSD) and high-frequency HRV (HF-HRV), were significantly increased by
the 3.0mA tDCS when compared to sham and 1.5mA. No difference was found
between sham and 1.5mA. E-field analysis showed that all brain regions
of interest were associated with the HRV outcomes. However, this
significance was associated with the protocol intensity, rather than
inter-individual anatomical variability. To conclude, our results
suggest a dose-dependent effect of tDCS for HRV. Therefore, further
research is warranted to investigate the optimal current dose to HRV.
An Examination of the Wrangel Island Sea Ice Thickness Dipole
Authors: Ross Spenser , Moore G. W. K.
Published: September 2023

The Beaufort Sea High is a high-pressure system located in the Beaufort
Sea and influences ocean circulation in the western Arctic known as the
Beaufort Gyre. Wrangel Island, located in the western Chukchi Sea,
typically experiences easterly sea ice motion due to the Beaufort Gyre.
We find that under these climatological conditions, moving ice is
blocked by the island and piles up on its eastern side, while ice on its
western side continues to drift. This results in an ice thickness dipole
across the island. A reversal in the sense of the oceanic and
atmospheric circulation across the western Arctic results in a dipole
with the opposing sign. We find the dipole is present throughout the
year and is strongest in January when the ice thickness difference is
approximately 1m. During the spring, it is associated with the transient
opening of a polynya to the west of the island. The dipole is the result
of opposing ice divergence and convergence across the western Arctic and
may impact ocean circulation and ecosystems within the Chukchi Sea.

Authors: Massensini de Azevedo Lucas , Inês de Freitas Petrucci dos Santos Rosa Maria
Published: September 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão de literatura de pesquisas que concentram um olhar investigativo na tríade: interdisciplinaridade, currículo e formação docente em Física. Para isso, recorremos ao Portal de Periódicos CAPES a fim de coletar artigos que, de acordo com as discussões e os resultados apresentados, foram alocados em três categorias gerais de análise: (I) Princípios epistemológicos do ensino interdisciplinar; (II) Percepções sobre a interdisciplinaridade; (III) Práticas interdisciplinares na escola e na formação docente. Como resultado da investigação de 54 trabalhos a partir do método análise de conteúdo, por meio da identificação de unidades de significação por temas, compomos um panorama que permite compreender como as pesquisas da área exploram a problemática. Como resultado, depreende-se que as pesquisas apresentam desde perspectivas de nível local/micro (realidade institucional, cotidiano escolar e narrativas individuais) até instâncias nacionais e global (políticas educacionais e propostas curriculares oficiais), mostrando contextos, críticas, desafios e possibilidades na efetivação da interdisciplinaridade no currículo de Ciências da Natureza, em especial, da disciplina escolar Física, tanto na Educação Básica quanto no Ensino Superior.
ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA DA TEMÁTICA SAÚDE EM DOCUMENTOS CURRICULARES DA ÁREA DE CIÊNCIAS DA NATUREZA NO BRASIL, CHILE E COLÔMBIA
Authors: Zômpero Andréia de Freitas , Silva Bruna Alves , Laburú Carlos Eduardo
Published: September 2023

Este estudo teve por objetivo averiguar e compreender como a temática saúde está proposta nos documentos oficiais de ensino do Brasil, Chile e Colômbia.  É parte de uma pesquisa mais ampla que investiga currículo de Ciências da Natureza em países da América Latina. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo do tipo documental em que priorizou –se a busca em documentos curriculares normativos dos três países que discorrem sobre a temática saúde no ambiente escolar. Os documentos foram respectivamente Base Nacional Curricular Comum (Ministério da Educação, 2018), Bases Curriculares 1º ao 6º básico, Bases Curriculares 7° básico a 2° médio (Ministerio de Educación, 2015a, 2015b) e Estándares Básicos de Competências (Ministério da Educación Nacional, 2006). Nos documentos analisou- se as capacidades que os estudantes devem desenvolver ao longo do processo de escolarização. A fase de escolaridade escolhida para análise em cada documento está entre as idades de 11 a 14 anos. Pode-se averiguar que o tema saúde trabalhado nos países apresenta similaridades entre si, porém, foram encontradas algumas divergências entre eles em relação ao ano de escolaridade que são abordados os temas de alimentação saudável e prática de atividade física. As similaridades encontradas na temática saúde estão relacionadas aos conteúdos abordados, sendo elas substâncias psicoativas, sexualidade, imunização e Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis, entretanto, os conteúdos diferem quando ministrados nos anos de escolaridade dos países. Conclui-se que a temática saúde está em consonância entre si quanto à fase de escolaridade escolhida nos três países, portanto, embora possa haver diferenças culturais enquanto diferentes nações, há convergência entre os objetivos para os anos escolares analisados em relação à Educação em Saúde.

Published: September 2023

Os cursos de formação de professores da Educação Básica em todo o país estão em processo de mudanças, incorporando as novas diretrizes estabelecidas com a legislação atual. Este estudo tem como objetivo a análise de indicadores que impactam na qualidade do ensino de botânica nos cursos de Ciências Biológicas das universidades públicas baianas com vistas a contribuir com a formação docente inicial dos licenciados. Envolveu um trabalho quali-quantitativo mediante estudo documental dos Projetos Pedagógico de Cursos- PPCs dos cursos. Os dados foram categorizados, processados e analisados qualitativamente e, depois, quantitativamente por meio de estatística básica e dos softwares Excel. Verificou-se que apenas os Cursos de Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS) e da Universidade Federal do Oeste Baiano (UFOB) estão com os PPCs reformulados de acordo com a legislação vigente. Os indicadores, em geral, implicam em dificuldades operacionais para abordagem de conteúdos específicos de botânica para os quais demandam o uso de estratégias de ensino funcionais para a formação inicial docente.
CONCEPÇÕES DOCENTES ACERCA DA BIODIVERSIDADE NA PERSPECTIVA DA SISTEMÁTICA FILOGENÉTICA
Authors: Cordeiro Rogério Soares , De Castro Morini Maria Santina
Published: September 2023

Olhar para Biodiversidade sob a ótica da Sistemática Filogenética é garantir que a evolução assuma o status central no ensino de Ciências e Biologia. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as concepções docentes acerca da Diversidade Biológica na perspectiva cladística, a fim de identificar formação, domínio, aplicação e articulação desses saberes e práticas. A partir de pesquisa qualiquantitativa são discutidas as concepções de participantes que foram obtidas por meio de questionário aberto e análise de seus conteúdos em categorias. Obteve-se a participação de 66 docentes que, a partir da experiência em sala de aula, foram divididos em quatro grupos, entre iniciantes, experientes e formadores. As análises indicam que 93,4% dos participantes tiveram formação inicial em filogenia, sobretudo nos componentes de zoologia e botânica e com a utilização de cladogramas. Os participantes consideram os termos cladogramas, sinapomorfia, apomorfia, Biodiversidade e homologia, como imprescindíveis para compreensão das relações filogenéticas. Entretanto, apresentam equívocos e imprecisões, tanto nas definições quanto nas aplicações conceituais. Os docentes utilizam argumentos pautados em seleção natural, adaptação, cladogênese, anagênese, especiação, variabilidade genética, coevolução, extinções e parentesco para justificarem e estabelecerem relações entre Evolução e Biodiversidade. Mutação não foi mencionada, em nenhum dos grupos, como uma das fontes de variabilidade genética. Mesmo ante as dificuldades, 74% alegaram usar cladogramas em suas aulas e que este recurso facilita a compreensão e visualização de toda variedade de organismos, além de promover o ‘pensamento em árvore. Defendem que a Sistemática Filogenética é uma forma de integrar o ensino de Biodiversidade, mas que é necessário investir em formação, pois os conceitos são difíceis de serem ensinados, ao ponto de gerar inibição na participação do questionário. Por fim, um caminho promissor pode ser, além de formação continuada, a produção de bibliografias, para educação básica, com a temática.
What Should Nanotechnology be Human? Inclusive Information That Communicates the Meaning of the Technique
Authors: Pellin Daniela
Published: September 2023

The development of nanotechnologies is at an accelerated stage, especially in the cosmetics sector in Brazil. Public Organizations that control development do not communicate or communication is insufficient about the risk to human health. One of the hypotheses of solution to this problem is the systematization of the process of inclusive communication of stakeholders, identified as being institutional information governance for decision-making on development and risk. The methodology applied has a systemic approach; deductive method and research techniques that include the bibliographic review, national and foreign, data collection and qualitative analysis. The research findings point in the direction that the absence of communication of nanotechnology risks by Public Organizations stems from the lack of maturity of the Institutional Governance of Information to fae the paradox: risk/development. As a result, information that communicates the meaning of development and risk to third parties affected by nanotechnology can impact on the shared management.

Pendidikan Vokasi dan Pengembalian Upah
Authors: Puri Ida Ayu Wayan Regita Iswari , Wicaksono Padang
Published: September 2023

Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka (TPT) pendidikan menengah dan pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia didominasi oleh pendidikan vokasi yaitu SMK dan Diploma. Hal ini menjadi ironi ditengah tujuan pendidikan vokasi adalah mencetak tenaga kerja dengan skill dan kompetensi yang baik sehingga mudah terserap pada pasar tenaga kerja. Permasalahan sulit diserapnya tenaga kerja pendidikan vokasi dapat memicu permasalahan ketenagakerjaan lainnya seperti tingkat pengembalian upah. Tidak maksimalnya penyerapan tenaga kerja vokasi berhubungan dengan tingkat produktivitas yang lebih rendah di pasar tenaga kerja yang dapat berdampak pada disparitas upah dibandingkan tenaga kerja pendidikan non-vokasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat perbedaan pengembalian upah menurut jenis pendidikan vokasi dan non vokasi. Data Sakernas Agustus 2021 diolah menggunakan metode Two-Step Heckman untuk mendapatkan probabilitas seseorang mengenyam pendidikan vokasi dan probabilitas seseorang untuk bekerja dan mendapatkan upah .

Applying an Intersectionality Approach to Multiple Dimensions of Social Life
Authors: Pinem Milda Longgeita
Published: September 2023

This study aims to identify various research studies on multiple dimensions of social life that employ an intersectionality approach. The approach is a framework that recognizes the multiple dimensions of social identity and how they intersect and influence experiences of discrimination, privilege, and marginalization. Using literature studies from various research databases and employing specific keywords, four dimensions of social life have been identified as dominant themes in research applying the intersectionality approach, namely education, healthcare, politics, and workplace. In the domain of education, the article discusses how an intersectionality approach can help to understand how multiple identities, such as race, gender, and class, intersect to influence educational experiences and outcomes. The article also examines the impact of intersectionality on access to healthcare, highlighting how multiple identities can affect access to care, treatment outcomes, and experiences of discrimination. In politics, the article discusses how an intersectionality approach can help understand marginalized groups' experiences in political processes and systems. The article also examines how intersectionality can influence workplace experiences and opportunities for advancement. The article argues that an intersectionality approach can help to identify and address systemic inequalities and promote greater equality and diversity in multiple dimensions of social life. The article highlights the importance of applying an intersectionality approach in understanding the complex ways social identities intersect and shape experiences of discrimination, privilege, and marginalization.

Authors: Jamiludin  , Alimin Alwi  , Upe Ambo
Published: September 2023

Since the settlement of the Transmigration community in 1983-2023, there has never been conflict and disintegration, as is the case in other multicultural societies that tend to conflict. This study aims to find out why the Multicultural Community in West Muna Regency is integrated and what values of social integration have been built. Methodologically, the data for this study were obtained using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies, all of which are descriptive qualitative methods. The results of this study show that the multicultural community in West Muna Regency is integrated because human nature wants peace where every individual wants peace and comfort of life, which is externalized in the form of behavior in daily life both in family, neighbors and community;  as social beings in mutual need between nations of different tribes and different religions; religious reasons in which each community of a different religion obeys religious orders and tolerance with people of different religions; and cultural reasons that are the ancestral teachings of each tribe that each tribe adheres to are different. There is a binding value that represents the interests of all religions and tribes, namely the value of peace. The value of social integration in a multicultural society is the value of peace consisting of social cohesion, namely the unification of religious, cultural, and occupational equality, and social adhesion, namely unification based on differences in religion, culture, and work.

Published: September 2023

Upaya Pengurangan Risiko Bencana (PRB) selama ini cenderung bersifat parsial, temporer, dan hanya terbatas pada wilayah administrasi desa. Padahal bisa saja bencana terjadi di suatu desa, namun dampaknya dirasakan oleh desa terdekat atau tetangga. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran agen dan struktur dalam kerja sama PRB antardesa berbasis kawasan di Desa Akar Akar, Desa Andalan, dan Desa Gunjan Asri, Kecamatan Bayan, Kabupaten Lombok Utara. Konsep agen dan struktur dalam perspektif teori strukturasi Anthony Giddens digunakan untuk mengeksplorasi praktik sosial agen dalam melakukan kerja sama PRB antardesa berbasis kawasan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Proses pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) melalui Focus Group Discussion (FGD), wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: Pertama, adanya kesamaan kultur dan pengalaman kolektif dalam menghadapi bencana di masa lalu telah menciptakan kesadaran baru bagi agen (pemerintah desa) dalam membangun ketangguhan masyarakat di tiga desa kawasan. Kedua, adanya kesamaan ancaman, kerentanan, dan risiko terhadap bencana gempa bumi, kekeringan, dan krisis air bersih telah mendorong agen (pemerintah desa) untuk melakukan perubahan struktur dalam pengelolaan risiko bencana di tiga desa kawasan melalui kebijakan. Ketiga, perubahan struktur di tiga desa kawasan dalam pengelolaan risiko bencana dilakukan oleh agen (pemerintah desa) dengan memperkuat kelembagaan PRB.

Mapping policy understandings of gender & sexuality: thematic analysis
Authors:   Swansea University, Pritchard Katrina , Williams Helen , Elworthy Alice
Published: September 2023

This second report from the Breaking Binaries Research (BBR) programme extends and develops our first report which offered a preliminary review of mapping understandings of genders and sexualities across policy data (Pritchard et al., 2023). As in our first report, we focus on the implications of these understandings for entrepreneurs and small businesses in relation to how diversity is constructed by policy makers. We define gender and sexuality diversity as including all those who self-identify as not conforming to binary identities and/or bodies, and those who identify in various, and sometimes multiple ways, as part of LGBTQIA+ and non-binary communities. Policy makers labelling of these identities, especially the use of pre-given categories, is problematic (Guyan, 2022). Within the overarching initialisms or acronyms, like LGBTQIA+, sit host of diverse, and in most cases, intersecting communities, which are oversimplified and little understood.
