Racismo institucional, branquitude e gestão reativa seletiva: desafios para a implementação de ambiente universitário afirmativo
Authors: Gonzaga Yone Maria
Published: March 2023

Os/as estudantes de camadas populares e negros/as ingressantes nas universidades públicas no contexto das políticas afirmativas vêm desempenhando um papel fundamental para a transformação destas instituições, uma vez que indagam os perfis social e étnico-racial do corpo discente, a organização institucional e, principalmente, as matrizes curriculares. E como a gestão universitária tem atuado para garantir os direitos educacionais plenos a esses públicos? Este artigo objetiva analisar como o racismo institucional e a branquitude identificados em discursos de gestores e gestoras de uma universidade federal favorecem um modelo de gestão que reage seletivamente às exigências legais e às demandas apresentadas pelos estudantes negros e negras, mantêm a colonialidade de poder/saber e dificultam a efetivação de um ambiente universitário afirmativo, o qual transcende as políticas de acesso.
Subjetividades no discurso das identidades na educação superior: uma abordagem para além do pensamento abissal
Authors: Sartori Thiago Luiz , Pereira Bruno Gomes
Published: March 2023

Essse artigo tem como objetivo analisar efeitos de sentidos promovidos no discurso de acadêmicos transexuais cotistas no contexto da educação superior considerando como ponto de partida a fluidez das suas identidades de gênero. A fundamentação teórica está alojada no campo da Linguística Aplicada (LA), sobretudo no que concerne à interface entre estudos enunciativos e da sociologia das ausências. A metodologia se caracteriza como um estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa, considerando que foram entrevistados duas pessoas transexuais que ingressaram no ensino superior por intermédio de cotas para alunos transexuais. A investigação revela projeções discursivas construídas a partir de subjetividades no que se refere à periferização da pessoa trans a partir da sua identidade de gênero no âmnbito acadêmico.
Quem decidiu como seria? A participação do professor na transição do ensino presencial para o ensino remoto nas escolas de educação básica do estado de São Paulo
Authors: Caffagni Carla Wanessa do Amaral
Published: March 2023

Este artigo traz dados sobre pesquisa realizada no início do período de distanciamento social ocasionado pela pandemia de COVID-19, sobre a participação docente nas tomadas de decisões na adaptação e continuidade de atividades escolares na transição do ensino presencial para o ensino remoto. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de distribuição de questionários em grupos virtuais de professores em redes sociais e respondidos de forma voluntária pelos docentes. Foram selecionados os dados coletados de 52 professores atuantes nas redes públicas e privadas do estado de São Paulo. Os resultados mostram que houve pouca participação dos professores neste processo, e que o trabalho se deu de forma precarizada e sem sua devida valorização.

Authors: Bomfim Natanael Reis , Correia Sílvia Letícia Costa Pereira , Azevedo Micheline  Liberato Marques de
Published: March 2023

Este artigo é reflexo das discussões desenvolvidas, ao longo de quinze anos, no Grupo Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Representações, Educação e Sustentabilidade (GIPRES), da Universidade do Estado da Bahia (UNEB). O estudo se insere na Linha de Pesquisa em Representações Sociais e a Organização do Espaço Escolar e teve como objetivo relatar uma experiência de gestão colaborativa, em saúde e segurança escolar, realizada numa escola de periferia urbana de Salvador-Bahia- Brasil, a fim de diminuir os fatores de risco existentes e enfatizando o que precisamos para viver bem. Pelo pensamento de Leiro (2004), e Castro e Rosa (2010), contextualizamos sobre a juventude e o uso das drogas para nos aproximarmos das ideias de Pimentel, Bomfim e Santana (2021), sobre políticas públicas e praticas socioeducativas de jovens em periferias urbanas. Finalmente as ideias de Bucher e Oliveira (1994) serviram para elaboração do projeto de intervenção de abordagem preventiva e estruturado com base num modelo da educação para a saúde que fundamenta o Programa de Promoção da Saúde na Escola. Ele foi desenvolvido junto aos gestores, professores e representantes do conselho escolar, e os dados empíricos foram colhidos, analisados e sistematizados por meio de registros escritos e imagéticos. Os resultados nos permitiram desenvolver estratégias de promoção à saúde e combate ao uso de drogas, sob três eixos: Integração da prevenção no currículo escolar; Participação juvenil, Formação de multiplicadores e Fortalecimento da escola na comunidade.

Authors: Führ Jean Jeison
Published: March 2023

O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar algumas aproximações salutares entre alguns conceitos bourdieusianos (campo, habitus, distinção e diferença) e a área da saúde. Em primeiro lugar evidenciaremos com apesar de Pierre Bourdieu nunca ter se detido especificamente sobre o campo da saúde, sua teoria e conceitos foram empregados em análises de tal meio. Em seguida faremos uma breve digressão sobre o conceito de habitus em pensadores, que para além de Bourdieu, também se detiveram em teorizar sobre o referido termo. Por fim, rememoramos alguns dados empíricos de pesquisa de mestrado anteriormente realizada, com o sentido de ilustrar os recortes que estabelecem disposições de distinção e diferença junto as práticas acadêmicas e profissionais de sujeitos junto ao campo da saúde.

Ultralong Organic Phosphorescence of Triazatruxene Derivatives for Dynamic Data Encryption and Anti-counterfeiting
Authors: Liang Baoshuai , An Wei , Liu Jie , Dong Yu , Feng Shiyu , Huang Weiguo
Published: March 2023

Organic luminogens with persistent room temperature phosphorescence
(RTP) have drawn tremendous attentions due to their prom-ising
potentials in optoelectronic devices, information storage, biological
imaging, and anti-counterfeiting. In this work, six triazatrux-ene-based
lumiogens with different peripheral substituents and configurations are
synthesized and systematically studied. The results show that their
fluorescence quantum yields in solid states range from 15.73% to
37.58%. Dispersing the luminogens as guest into the host (PPh3) could
turn on the persistent RTP, where PPh3 acts as not only a rigid matrix
to suppress the non-radiative transitions of the guest, but also
provides energy transfer channels to the guest. The maximum
phosphorescence efficiency and the longest lifetime could reach 29.35%
and 0.99 s in co-crystal films of 6-TAT-CN/PPh3 and 5-TAT-H/PPh3,
respectively. Moreover, these host-guest co-crystalline films exhibit
great potentials in advanced dynamic data encryption and
anti-counterfeiting. This work deepens the insight for low cost,
halogen-free, and facile fabrication of all-organic persistent RTP
materials.
Associations between potentially inappropriate prescribing and increased number of medications with post-discharge health outcomes among geriatric rehabilitation inpatients: RESORT study
Authors: Mekonnen Alemayehu , Reijnierse Esmee , Soh Cheng , Lim Kwang , Maier Andrea , Manias Elizabeth
Published: March 2023

Aims: Older adults are vulnerable to medication-related harm mainly due
to high use of medications and inappropriate prescribing. This study
aimed to investigate the associations between inappropriate prescribing
and number of medications identified at discharge from geriatric
rehabilitation with subsequent post-discharge health outcomes. Method:
REStORing health of acutely unwell adulTs (RESORT) is an observational,
longitudinal cohort study of geriatric rehabilitation inpatients.
Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and potential prescribing
omissions (PPOs) were measured at acute admission, and at admission and
discharge from geriatric rehabilitation, using version 2 of the
STOPP/START criteria. Results: 1890 patients (mean age 82.6 ± 8.1 years,
56.3 % females) were included. The use of at least 1 PIMs, or PPOs at
geriatric rehabilitation discharge were not associated with 30-day and
90-day readmission and 3-month and 12-month mortality. Central nervous
system (CNS)/psychotropics and fall risk PIMs were significantly
associated with 30-day hospital readmission (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)
1.53; 95%CI 1.09─2.15), and cardiovascular PPOs with 12-month mortality
(AOR 1.34; 95%CI 1.00─1.78). Increased number of discharge medications
was significantly associated with 30-day (AOR 1.03; 95%CI 1.00─1.07)
and 90-day (AOR 1.06; 95%CI 1.03─1.09) hospital readmissions. The use
and number of PPOs (including vaccine omissions) were associated with
reduced independence in instrumental activities of daily living scores
at 90-days post geriatric rehabilitation discharge. Conclusion: The
number of discharge medications, CNS/psychotropics and fall risk PIMs
were significantly associated with readmission, and cardiovascular PPOs
with mortality. Interventions are needed to improve appropriate
prescribing in geriatric rehabilitation patients to prevent hospital
readmission and mortality.

Perceptions and Willingness of Healthcare workers for COVID-19 vaccine for their children aged <18 years from a Tertiary care Institute of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India
Authors: Bashar Abu , Khan Imran Ahmed , Kumar Rupam
Published: March 2023

Background COVID-19 vaccination program for adults in India is
one of the highly successful vaccination drives globally but acceptance
of COVID-19 for children and adolescents is largely unknown. As parents
are primary decision-makers for their children, we aimed to assess
parents’ perceptions and intentions regarding COVID-19 vaccination for
children in India. Aim To assess parental perceptions and
intention to get COVID-19 vaccination for their children
(aged<18 years), Materials and Methods A
cross-sectional anonymous web-based survey was designed. Healthcare
workers of a tertiary care institute of Eastern U.P., India having any
children aged <18 years were the study population. They were
recruited through snowball sampling and were sent the study
questionnaire in Google form through email and WhatsApp. Bi-variate
analysis was performed to find out the predictors of child vaccination
willingness among the parents. Results A total of 388
healthcare workers parents (HCWPs) having a child < 18 years
of age completed the survey. Mean age of the parents were 40.28 ±11.34
years. Majority (96.9%) received recommended 2 doses of COVIID-19
vaccine. Around 91% of the parents agreed that COVID-19 vaccines are
important for child’s health whereas 89% agreed that COVID-19 vaccines
are effective. A total 356 (91.7%) participants shown willing to
vaccinate their child with COVID-19 vaccine, 91.3% of them intended to
do so as soon as possible Factors found to be significantly associated
with the stated willingness for child COVID-19 vaccination among the
participants were younger age, female gender, urban residence, absence
of any chronic illness, lower monthly income, history of COVID-19 in
child and the child immunized with all routine childhood vaccines.
Parental concerns mainly centered around vaccine need and its safety.
Conclusion The healthcare worker parents (HCWPs) have positive
attitude and low vaccine hesitancy towards COVID-19 vaccination for
children with around 92% of them currently willing to vaccinate their
children with COVID-19 vaccine. Further longitudinal studies are
required to be conducted to assess the trend of parental acceptance of
COVID vaccine.
A depression prediction model based on causal inference and machine learning
Authors: Zhang Xilin , Wang Tiantian , Xue Chuang
Published: March 2023

Background: Depression is one of the most common psychological
disorders nowadays, with continuous and prolonged low mood as the main
clinical feature, and it is the most important type of psychological
disorders in modern people. The aim of this study is to develop a
depression prediction model based on causal inference and machine
learning. Methods: This case study included 7000 subjects. A
feature selection model was built based on a causal inference algorithm.
The selected features were entered as variables in seven machine
learning (ML) models built to create a predictive model for the
diagnosis of depression. Results: Among the seven ML models,
the random forest model (RF) showed the best performance. For the
prediction of depression, the area under receiver operating
characteristic (AUC) of the RF model was 0.908(0.810-1.00) in 10-fold
stratified cross-validation and 0.901 (0.893-0.91) in external
validation.

Published: March 2023

Inter-specific adoption is an intriguing topic in behavioural and
evolutionary ecology. Being a rare phenomenon is rarely documented in
the literature and thus reports of inter-specific adoption based on
solid data are particularly valuable. Here, owing to a long-term and
extensive monitoring of a local population of the European blackbird
(Turdus merula, hereafter blackbird), we describe observations of
alloparental behaviour exhibited by blackbirds towards fieldfare (Turdus
pilaris) nestlings (single nest, first record ever) and fledglings
(twelve cases in total). We discuss the observations in respect to
available literature.

Authors: Vovk Hanna , Karnpakdee Kwankao , Golubets Olga , Levchuk Iryna , Ludvig Roland , Nosenko Tamara
Published: March 2023

The pretreatment of pumpkin seeds with proteolytic, cellulolytic and
pectolytic enzymes and their effect on cell structure and oil yield was
studied. Pumkin seed samples were treated with pepsin, papain, Viscozyme
L, cellulase or pectinase. The evaluation of cell integrity by immediate
hexane extraction (shaking method) showed that all samples treated with
different enzymes had a higher oil yield, ranging from 33.2 to 34.1 %
of seed weight, than the control samples (32.1 %). The number of
disrupted cells was also higher than the control (64.4%), ranging from
67.6 to 69.5 %. The highest percentage of disrupted cells, 71.0 and
71.1 %, was found in samples treated with pepsin+Viscozyme L+pectinase
and pepsin+cellulase+pectinase mixtures, respectively. To study the
effect of enzymatic pretreatment on the microstructure of pumkin seeds,
ultramicrotome slices of pumpkin seeds were treated with individual
enzymes and enzyme mixtures. The highest percentage of cell destruction
was observed in samples treated with Viscozyme L and the mixture of
pepsin+Viscozyme L+pectinase. The yield of pressed oil from pumpkin
seeds pretreated with the pepsin+Viscozyme L+pectinase mixture was 7.0
% higher than that of control samples. The quality parameters, chemical
composition and antioxidant activity of pressed oils were investigated
and the enzymatic pretreatment did not significantly affect the free
fatty acid content, peroxide value, fatty acid composition, or
phytosterol profiles. The antioxidant activity expressed as DPPH°
radical scavenging effect of the enzymatically pretreated pressed oil
was 2.7 % higher than that of the sample not pretreated with enzymes.
Interactions between Lightning and Ship Traffic
Authors: Peterson Michael Jay
Published: March 2023

It is important to understand connections between society and the
natural environment for anticipating environmental hazards and
anthropogenic effects on the broader Earth system. In this study, we
conduct a detailed exploration of the interactions between oceanic
thunderstorms and maritime traffic. Shipping traffic produces aerosols
that perturb the otherwise “clean” ocean environment. Prior work
proposed these aerosol effects as the cause of increased lightning
activity over certain shipping lanes. However, introducing tall
well-grounded objects into a high electric field environment might also
facilitate lightning discharges, as we see with upward lightning over
land. We consider both possibilities in this work.

Our analyses of the thunderstorms responsible for the enhanced lightning
activity over the shipping lane with the clearest anthropogenic signal
indicate that the anthropogenic signature results from an increased
frequency of lightning-producing storms. We did not find evidence of
variations in the microphysical parameters describing the storms over
shipping lanes and other nearby oceanic regions that might suggest
aerosol effects. In contrast, matching lightning stroke data with ship
transponder events in oceanic regions where public data are available
reveals a strong signal from direct ship interactions with lightning
that results in a 1-2 orders of magnitude increase in stroke frequency
at current ship locations compared to other nearby regions. These
results highlight the central role of direct ship interactions in
explaining lightning enhancements over shipping lanes.

We also document the frequency of these direct lightning interactions
across various categories of vessels and on individual ships present in
the public data.

Since ancient times, drinking water quality has played a significant role in human diseases and infections. In Jeddah, the drinking water choices are mostly bottled water or water available in plastic containers after processing at private water treatment stations. A total of 30 drinking water samples were obtained from many sources in Jeddah, KSA: mineral water (13 samples) and tap water (17 samples). Microbiological tests were used, including a negative and positive Gram stain test for these colonies and determining the type of bacteria. To identify bacterially, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques were used in this study. Following that, the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to commonly used antibiotics is tested. The results showed that the microbial cultures were of different isolates. We confirmed that these results by microbiological examination and molecular identification found a difference between the study samples. Fifty-three bacteria were isolated from 30 samples, 34 (64.15%) tap water samples, and 19(35.85%) mineral water samples were found to be contaminated with bacteria. The highest bacterial contamination, 86.6% of all samples, was found in the tap water in 50% of samples, while 36.6% was found in mineral water. Microbiological tests and molecular diagnostic methods make it simpler and faster to shorten the detection time of drinking water contamination. The results of the current study suggest that mineral water is a better source of potable water in Jeddah than tap water. However, there may be pollution in the water at the reservoirs rather than at the water sources

The need for compost as a source of organic fertilizer is increasing along with the increasing human food needs. Compost is a collection of organic materials that have undergone a decomposition process so that they change shape and are no longer recognized in their original form. Compost is black in color and odorless. The purpose of the study was to determine the quality of compost produced from a mixture of cattle feces and laying hens using rice waste as a medium for decomposers. The study was designed using a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial pattern, 3 x 2 with 3 replications. Factor I is a combination of feces (cattle:laying hens); (1) M1 (100%:0%); (2) M2 (50%:50%) and (3) M3 (0%:100%). Factor II is the level of decomposers (1) D1 (1%) and (2) D2 (5%). Parameters measured were color, pH, compost temperature. The results showed that the different combinations of feces from cattle and laying hens had a significant effect (p<0.01) on the color value, pH and temperature of the compost. The different levels of decomposers significantly affected (p<0,01) on the pH value and temperature of the compost, but did not affect (p>0.05) to the color value of the compost. The results of the study concluded that the application of a combination of M2 (cattle:laying hens) feces (50%:50) with a decomposer level of 1% (D1) produced the best compost characteristics and met the requirements set by the government

Published: March 2023

Dysfunction of glucagon-secreting α-cells participates in the progression of diabetes, and glucagon receptor (GCGR) antagonism is regarded as a novel strategy for diabetes therapy. GCGR antagonism upregulates glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion, and notably promotes β-cell regeneration in diabetic mice. Here, we aimed to clarify the role of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) activated by glucagon and/or GLP-1 in the GCGR antagonism-induced β-cell regeneration. We showed that in db/db mice and type 1 diabetic wild-type or Flox/cre mice, GCGR monoclonal antibody (mAb) improved glucose control, upregulated plasma insulin level, and increased β-cell area. Notably, blockage of systemic or pancreatic GLP-1R signaling by exendin 9-39 (Ex9) or Glp1r knockout diminished the above effects of GCGR mAb. Furthermore, glucagon neutralizing antibody (nAb), which prevents activation of GLP-1R by glucagon, also attenuated the GCGR mAb-induced insulinotropic effect and β-cell regeneration. In cultured primary mouse islets isolated from normal mice and db/db mice, GCGR mAb action to increase insulin release, and to upregulate β-cell specific marker expression, was reduced by a glucagon nAb, or by the GLP-1R antagonist Ex9, or by a pancreas-specific Glp1r knockout. These findings suggest that activation of GLP-1R by glucagon participates in β-cell regeneration induced by GCGR antagonism in diabetic mice.

Educational Action Research for Being
Authors: Salo Petri , Rönnerman Karin
Published: March 2023

The article describes the characteristics of educational action research on the basis of its development in three Nordic countries, namely Sweden, Norway and Finland. The characterisation begins with a reflection on the Anglo-Saxon variants of action research within education. Thereafter follows a democratic and participatory conceptualisation of action research identified through a description of its formation within working life practices. This conceptualisation is traced back and interpreted in terms of bildning, collective pedagogical practices within folkbildning and in relation to pedagogik as a basis for teachers’ professional knowledge base. The characteristics of educational action research are encapsulated as action research for being.
Protecting and Promoting the Wellbeing of High-Performance Swimmers
Authors:   , Uzzell Katie S.
Published: March 2023

The aims of the present thesis were two-fold. First, to gain an in-depth understanding of high-performance swimmers’ experiences of wellbeing. Second, to develop, implement, and evaluate an intervention aimed at protecting and promoting the wellbeing of high-performance swimmers. Study 1 used an interpretive description methodology to explore swimmers’ wellbeing experiences, in terms of how it was understood, experienced, and recognised. Findings suggested that wellbeing was understood and experienced in relation to personal values and goals, and could be recognised via numerous affective, cognitive, and behavioural indicators. Study 2 used a grounded theory methodology to develop a substantive theory of the process through which participation in high-performance swimming affects athlete wellbeing. The resultant theory illustrated how a dominant performance narrative influenced the development and maintenance of an exclusive swimmer identity that was tied to performance. Subsequently, transitions were highlighted as critical points where wellbeing was likely to be affected, due to the increased potential for change and uncertainty to impact on performance (and therefore identity). However, proactive coping strategies (e.g., planning, social support) were shown to minimise the impact on wellbeing. Informed by the findings of the first two studies, Study 3 used an action research methodology to develop, implement, and evaluate the delivery and effectiveness of a multi-component online wellbeing intervention. Findings suggested the intervention was effective in increasing knowledge and skills, improving self-awareness, and provided reassurance that led to increased confidence in coping abilities. Such outcomes were perceived to be facilitated by the delivery of timely and relevant content, the inclusion of a professional swimmer, use of real-world examples, and opportunities for self-reflection and interaction with peers. However, findings also illustrated some key challenges related to delivering a workshop-based intervention, such as ensuring content is relevant and useful for all, and delivering workshops at a time that suits everyone, in a format that fits individual preferences.
Concrete Diamonds: Exegesis in Pursuit of Radical Praxis
Authors:   , Howell Gemma J.
Published: March 2023

As a contribution to feminist epistemology, Concrete Diamonds is an emancipatory undertaking, seeking to unearth discrepancies between social ontology and the historical realism of working-class people’s lives. Concrete Diamonds is an experimental, hybrid novel encompassing two distinct literary genres which interlink technically, introspectively, and thematically. The dominant (or principal narrative) is a polyphonic homage to working-class people of different ages, genders, races, and sexual orientations, living in the margins of post-industrial neoliberal Britain. The principal narrative is then bookended with phallic concrete poetry. This experimental structure not only allows for a deeper, more nuanced exploration of hidden narratives but seeks to draw experiential links concerning economic poverty, stigmatisation and marginalisation developed during crucial periods of social change in the contemporary history of Britain. Inspired by the principles of fusion fiction,1 my novel has multiple starting points in a variety of narrative voices and literary styles, and it encompasses the poetic to polemic; social realism to magical realism; melodramatic and comedic –- all of which not only bolsters character and plot development but also fortifies the novel’s non-conformist message. While tracing the creative becoming of the central character, Girlo Wolf, the story brings to life five generations of familial relationships, with adjoining friendships and acquaintances and is an exploration of the rich and diverse lived experiences, illuminating the past origins and present conditions of discrimination, marginalisation and subjugation.

LEARNING STYLES OF BIOLOGY STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITAS NEGERI PADANG
Authors: Fitri Rahmadhani , Mudjiran Mudjiran
Published: March 2023

Learning style is a way to act and use stimuli in learning. When the lecturer wants to teach a learning material, the lecturer teaches according to the tendencies of student learning styles, because in general students have different learning styles. The learning style carried out by a student varies from one to another depending on the habits that are often carried out. There are three learning styles of a person, namely visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. Knowing the learning styles that students have can create a pleasant learning atmosphere for students, generate motivation to learn, and reduce conflicts that arise as a result of learning. This study aims to identify the learning styles of first-year students at the Biology Department, FMIPA, Universitas Negeri Padang. This research is a descriptive study using an instrument in the form of a learning style questionnaire. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results of the study found that the first year students of the Biology Department, FMIPA, Universitas Negeri Padang had a dominant visual learning style then auditory, and finally kinesthetic. This can happen because basically these students like learning in which the material is presented using lots of pictures, videos, schemes, or diagrams. With the dominance of visual learning styles in the first year students of the Biology Department, it is hoped that lecturers can wisely choose appropriate learning to facilitate student learning styles by choosing strategies, methods, models, approaches, and learning media that are suitable and suitable regardless of the learning style used. owned by other students who are dominantly auditory and kinesthetic.

K-Means is a non-hierarchical approach that separates data into a number of groups according on how far an object is from the closest centroid. K-Medoids is a non-hierarchical clustering technique that separates data into a number of groups according on how far away an object is from the closest medoid. The two approaches were put to the test using data on poverty in Sumatra in 2021, when the Covid-19 outbreak had caused the poverty rate to increase from the year before. This research is an applied research which begins by studying relevant theories. The data used in this study is secondary data sources from the BPS website regarding poverty indicators. This study aims to determine regional groups and compare the results of grouping with the k-means and k-medoids methods. To find out the best performance between the two methods, that is by looking at the lowest Davies Bouldin Index (DBI). The results of this study are the k-means algorithm produces as many as 34 districts/cities incorporated in cluster 1, 52 districts/cities in cluster 2, 23 districts/cities in cluster 3, and 45 districts/cities in cluster 4. k-medoids, namely in clusters 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, as many as 53, 40, 37, and 24 districts/cities. Based on the results of the grouping, the DBI k-means of 1,584 and k-medoids of 2,359 were obtained. This means that the k-means algorithm is better than the k-medoids, because the k-means DBI is smaller than the k-medoids.

Published: March 2023

Poverty is a socioeconomic problem in Indonesia. The number of people who were living in poverty in West Sumatera increases for 26.44 thousands from 2020 to 2021. The government has created programs to cope with poverty by taking into account the criteria for the poor households. These criteria have been developed by using the data obtained through The National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas). However, instead of.showing the actual location of poor household, the existing data only interprets the number of poor household. Thus make the program less effective. This could be overcome by classification analysis of random forest (RF). RF is collection of many decision trees. Before fitting RF, one has to determine the values if three tuning parameters, mtry, ntree and node size. The result are the smallest  OOB’s error rate (%) and Variable Importance Measure(VIM). The classification by RF in this research results in OOB’s error rate was 5.65% or accuracy rate was 94.35%  with tuning parameter using mtry=5 and ntree=500. Based on the VIM, the poor household’s criteria include sources of drinking water such as protected or unprotected spring water and surface water, lighting tools such as non-PLN electricity or no usage of electricity, fuel for cooking such as charcoal and firewood, and the head of the household being self-employed, a family worker, or unpaid with at least a junior high degree.
