Authors: Aimon Hasdi , Kurniadi Anggi Putri , Triani Mike
Published: November 2022

This study investigates determination of natural gas consumption and carbon emission in the middle income group of natural gas supplying countries in Asia Pacific, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam during the period 2000-2021 by applying the simultaneous equation analysis. The results of this study are that carbon emission increase due to the real exchange rate, population and natural gas production, but carbon emission will reduce natural gas consumption. Furthermore, natural gas consumption increases due to natural gas production, GDP per capita and energy intensity. This study recommends the government to develop clean and efficient alternative energy to reduce carbon emission in response to natural gas demand for domestic and foreign market needs.

This study examines and analyzes the energy economic policy of Indonesia with population, energy consumption and its macroeconomic condition in the short-run and long-run. In the long run, this study found that the non-renewable energy will be replaced with renewable energy. One of Indonesia's imported energy commodities is fuel and engine oil consumer goods. Based on the unit root test results, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model is the most appropriate model used in this study. The coefficient of determination indicated by the R-squared is 0.967579, which means the model can explain 96.8% of the international trade and its macroeconomic factors on the volume of imported fuel and engine oil in Indonesia. This study uses independent variables like total population, vehicle volume, gross domestic product (GDP), exchange rates, and foreign exchange reserves. These variables were fruitful in explaining the critical factors in the imported volume of fuel and engine oil, which are essential public goods used in daily activities and have to meet the people's consumption. In addition, the result reveals that the interesting thing is in the long run, the total population negatively affects fuel and engine oil imports in Indonesia.

Published: November 2022

This paper focused on strategic corporate financial decisions regarding investments to increase firm value moderated by profitability in emerging markets. The analytical method used was panel data analysis, with a total number of observations of 260 energy sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2021. The results of the Chow Test, Hausman Test, and Lagrange Multiplier Test show the selected random effect model. The model shows that there is an effect of investment decisions on firm value in a positive direction and the moderating role of profitability strengthens this effect. The results of the robustness check show that the research model is still consistent with previous findings. Investment decisions have an effect on firm value, and profitability moderates this effect, both in the assumption of changes in control variables or model estimation using quantile regression. Our findings are in line with the idea of ​​signaling theory that information on the company’s investment decisions is a positive signal that the company has good growth opportunities or prospects so that it will increase the firm value and ultimately have an impact on the prosperity of shareholders. Furthermore, profitability strengthens the positive signal of the company’s reputation in the eyes of investors.

Published: November 2022

In line with the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development initiated by the United Nations, a climate-resilient development strategy is in a need for the South African tourism. Following the principles of sustainable tourism development, the empirical analysis in this study intends to discover the dynamic relationship between climate change and tourism demand in South Africa. With the adoption of the “Triple Bottom Line” framework, our findings revealed the essential steps for South Africa to address the environmental, social, and economic factors necessary for the development of a sustainable tourism. By adopting the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, the present study confirmed that carbon emission leaves a negative impact on the tourism industry in South Africa. Therefore, it is crucial for the tourism practitioners and policy makers to improve the economic efficiency by paying more attention on the carbon dioxide emissions to balance the tourism development and environmental protection for long term sustainable growth for the South African tourism.
The Interactions among Air Freight, GDP, Energy Usage and Ecological Footprint: An Empirical Investigation from Turkey
Authors: Bahadır Seda
Published: November 2022

The major aim of this manuscript is to examine the long-run relationship between air freight, economic growth, energy usage and ecological footprint by employing Multivariate Regression (MR), FMOLS (Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares), DOLS (Dynamic Ordinary Least Square), CCR (Canonical Co-integrating Regression), and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) analysis for Turkey from 1970 to 2018 within the sense of EKC hypothesis. According to Multivariate Regression (MR) result of Turkey, air freight, economic growth, and energy usage influence the ecological footprint from 1970 to 2018. Besides, the long-term linkage of variables including air freight, economic growth, energy usage and ecological footprint is indicated through FMOLS, DOLS, CCR and GMM analysis which is verified the EKC hypothesis for Turkey. Thus, all-time series analysis of this paper confirms that air freight, economic growth, and energy usage cause environmental pollution between 1970 and 2018 for Turkey. When the empirical results are considered the Environmental Management System has not yet been established at airports open to international traffic. However, in order to meet the standards expected by international aviation authorities, it is necessary to develop practices in this regard at airports in Turkey. Today, when environmental pollution has reached serious dimensions, airport operators, local people and every unit of the aviation industry will go to produce solutions and take precautions together. With the Environmental Management System to be established within the airport, which is accepted as indispensable businesses in terms of social and economic aspects for the environment; it will be able to achieve sustainable development by increasing their performance in the new period. The use of renewable energy sources at airports will contribute to the process. Financial incentives should be provided to airline companies that are willing to invest in line with these targets, and tax exemptions should be introduced for such investments. Although it does not seem possible in the near future, it is important for the future sustainability of the sector to carry out studies on electric air transportation.
On Linguistic and Political Borders (the Case of the Ripuarian Dialect Group)
Authors: Tikhonova E. S.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The paper considers the Ripuarian dialect group spread on the territory of three modern states – Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The research concentrates on the dialect’s reception by its speakers, while special attention is paid to the language situation in Belgium. Defining the correspondence of state and linguistic borders in this region might be of great current scientific interest.

Methodology and sources. The research methodology is based on Russian and foreign studies in dialectology (V. M. Zhirmunskii, F. Münch, W. Haubrichs) and dialectography  (K. Haag, A. Bach, J. Kajot and H. Beckers). For the dialects’ characteristics descriptive and comparative methods were used. 

The analysis of the sociolinguistic situation is based on the works of P. Auer, Th. Frings, J. Kajot and H. Beckers and others. To follow the current dialect speakers’ point of view the data from Belgian Internet-sites and forums were used. Such complex method allows to valuate not only linguogeographic but also the newest extralinguistic facts. 

Results and discussion. The paper examines the spread and the characteristics of the Ripuarian dialects, the history of their use in Germany, underlining the special role of Cologne’s dialect. The situation with the Ripuarian dialects in modern Eastern Belgium is as well analyzed. Problems of self-identity of the dialect speakers and of dialect’s connection to the High German are also considered.

Conclusion. The dependence of linguistic situation in Belgium on political and sociocultural factors, while the state boundaries play a significant role in the self-identity of dialect speakers.
Conceptualization of Imperial Markers in the Architectural Ensemble of Budapest
Authors: Maltseva Yu. M.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. This article presents an analysis of the key architectural structures and the general space of the historical center of Budapest in order to identify its key semantic, aesthetic, cultural dominants. The relevance of this article is due to the actual lack of reflection of the urban space of Budapest, although its relationship and structural similarities with the imperial cities of Europe are obvious. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the development and refinement of the modern content of the concept of an imperial city – a phenomenon that obviously exists in the absence of empires, its content, as it can be formalized on an individual example of the architectural appearance of Budapest.

Methodology and sources. Since the analytical tools of modernity are thoroughly “national”, while the empire cannot be described within the framework of any one model with help of any one metanarrative. Thus, the imperial city acts as an “archeology” understood in the spirit of the post-structuralist Foucainean paradigm, deconstructing the basic and normative ideas of the social sciences.

Results and discussion. The specificity of the correlation of imperial markers in the urban space of Budapest consists in the following features: first of all, the theme of the “second capital” in comparison with Vienna is consonant with the general national theme of “orphan hood” of Hungarian culture; at the same time, an intricate combination of references to imperial markers and aesthetic and stylistic solutions to other European cities demonstrates the secondary and ephemeral, self-referential nature of these references. In addition, the sacred center of Budapest is not the main temple, but the Parliament building, which embodies the main national, cultural, ideological project.

Conclusion. As a result of the study there were revealed the main features of the constitution of the imperial image of Budapest and the circumstances of its formation. Summarizing some of the most important historical trends that determined the architecture of Budapest, its aesthetic and architectural appearance and the influence that it experienced from other imperial cities, we can conclude that Budapest is a non-referential sign, reflection, and simulacrum of an imperial city that does not refer to any particular empire and to most empires at the same time.
Artificial Intelligence as a Strategic Component of Technological Sovereignty
Authors: Kolianov A. Yu.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The article analyzes the scientific, political and social directions of technology development using artificial intelligence in the context of the global digital race. The strategies for achieving technological sovereignty, adopted by the largest countries of the world, and the place and role of artificial intelligence in them are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the analysis of statistical indicators of the achievements of the world's leading states in the field of digital technologies. The scientific, political, economic, regulatory and social resources of the Russian Federation are also being explored, allowing them to become one of the global leaders in digital and technological development.

Methodology and sources. The theoretical and methodological base of the study were the classical socio-economic concepts of technological and innovative development (K. Marx,  T. Veblein, J. Schumpeter etc.). In the practical part of the study, we used such methods as analysis of documents (reports of the Analytical Center for the Government of the Russian Federation and the Competence Center of the NTI “Artificial Intelligence” of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, analytics from the the Russian International Affairs Council, Oxford Insights, Tortoise etc.) and comparative analysis. The empirical base was data from an analysis of the experience of China, the United States, India and the Russian Federation in developing their own strategies for the development of artificial intelligence technologies.

Results and discussion. As a result of the study, we were able to trace how the active actions of the world's largest countries in the conceptualization of steps to develop artificial intelligence are reflected in the construction of the state's technological sovereignty. The analysis made it possible to describe the Russian model of supporting the development of technologies using artificial intelligence as a “Moscow consensus”, characterized by a social orientation of the results.

Conclusion. In the structure of technological sovereignty, artificial intelligence plays an important role as a strategic component that contributes to the achievement of digital sovereignty. In the foreseeable future, the critical impact of the dependence of Russia's scientific and technological development on imported solutions and other external factors is obvious, which requires a thorough examination of the situation and a public discussion of any actions for the transition of Russian industry to Industry 4.0. At the same time, it is important to realize that the prospects for technologies using AI are vague without political decisions and financial support.

Abuso sexual infantil durante a pandemia da Covid-19
Authors: Luz Maxuel Pereira
Published: November 2022

Sabe-se que o abuso sexual infantil é um problema de saúde pública no Brasil, e na pandemia esse problema se potencializou devido ao isolamento social. Devido ao fechamento das escolas, as crianças tiveram de passar mais tempo dentro de casa, ficando vulneráveis à violência sexual. Sendo assim, o presente artigo, tem como questão norteadora: de que forma a pandemia impactou nos casos de abuso sexual infantil? Sendo assim, tem-se como objetivo analisar o abuso sexual infantil durante o período da pandemia, apresentado, também, alguns fatores que contribuíram para esta prática, bem como métodos que auxiliam na identificação e enfrentamento do abuso. A metodologia utilizada neste estudo foi a revisão literária. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam que, entre as formas para enfrentar o abuso sexual infantil, as instituições chamam atenção para as obrigações do governo em subsidiar o acolhimento, quando for prudente, e informações necessárias para identificar os casos de forma correta. Conclui-se que, em casos de revelação do abuso, é importante que a vítima se sinta acolhida e segura para falar sobre a violência vivenciada, bem como receba crédito e apoio, pois se trata de um momento muito difícil. É necessário, ainda, que existam profissionais capacitados para identificar os casos de abuso sexual contra crianças e trabalhar, tanto com intervenções preventivas quanto terapêuticas, para a superação desta violência por parte da vítima.
DIETA DA SAÚDE PLANETÁRIA E MUDANÇA CLIMÁTICA EM CONFRONTOS ONLINE NO TIKTOK
Authors: Junqueira Antonio Hélio
Published: November 2022

A questão global da mudança climática tem sido tema recorrente entre as chamadas teorias da conspiração, fake news e deep fakes que circulam nas mídias sociais online. Nesse contexto, o ciberespaço comporta arena discursiva na qual ciência e contra-ciência se entrechocam, gerando panoramas ideologicamente conflitantes e embates identitários. Tais fluxos comunicacionais, que correm com larga participação de não especialistas, impactam afetiva e efetivamente grandes contingentes de pessoas, muitas vezes sob a influência meramente algorítmica das conexões. A partir de abordagem netnográfica, a presente pesquisa analisa um conjunto de 352 microvídeos publicados na plataforma de rede social TikTok, que foram identificados pela hashtag #yes2meat, a qual se consolidou internacionalmente em contraposição a proposições de dietas alimentares para a saúde planetária formuladas por cientistas congregados pela The Lancet Commission, em 2019. O objetivo da investigação foi o de identificar elementos recorrentes na conformação das dinâmicas comunicativas dessa plataforma e que tendem a favorecer o comportamento memético dos conteúdos postados, independentemente do questionamento de sua veracidade. O texto finaliza apontando a relevância essencial das affordances promotoras e incentivadoras da afetividade online, centradas no favorecimento das condições de visibilidade e editabilidade dos conteúdos postados e na associação destes com diferentes atores sociais e outros textos verbo-visuais circulantes, mesmo que não diretamente associados ao tema.

O objetivo deste texto é apresentar as etapas do estudo do projeto “Engage for SDG”, que combinou metodologia automatizada e psicométrica, ao coletar e analisar tweets em língua portuguesa sobre alterações climáticas, e ao convidar parte desses utilizadores do Twitter para responder um questionário que avaliava os atributos morais que mais lhes pode gerar engagement em narrativas ambientais. A metodologia foi coletar e analisar 21.338 comentários na plataforma, a partir da recolha automática de com base em palavras-chave. A seguir, aplicar inquérito psicométrico com 301 resultados, para analisar a relevância de cinco fundamentos morais para dilemas gerais e ambientais. Percebemos que os valores “cuidado” e “justiça” contam com o maior engajamento das respostas, e que os valores “pureza” e “autoridade” contêm o desvio-padrão das respostas, tendo sido rejeitados pelos inquiridos. E graças à metodologia automatizada, concluímos que brasileiros e portugueses diferem na forma como se relacionam com o tema e nos fundamentos que associam ao tema, bem como nas personalidades invocadas e nas responsabilidades atribuídas.

Organizing Local Messengers: Working Conditions and Barriers to Unionization
Authors: Pupo Norene , Noack Andie
Published: November 2022

As a result of concerns around declining memberships and the growth of precarious employment in recent years, unions have sought to expand their jurisdictions and organize groups of workers who have typically resisted collective bargaining. Research on union renewal has examined working conditions and workplace structures that may give rise to successful organizing campaigns. In this paper we examine working conditions amongst non-unionized sameday messengers working in Toronto, Canada. The research team conducted 143 semi-structured interviews with bikers, drivers and walkers who work primarily for local courier companies. We find that although same-day couriers are typically treated as ‘independent contractors’, they are dependent on brokers, and precariously employed, with unpredictable income and hours of work. Though this group would benefit substantially from unionization, especially organized on a sector-wide basis, their attitudes and culture combined with the structure of the local industry create substantial impediments to organizing. 
"We Are All Alive ... But Dead": Cultural Meanings of War Trauma in the Tamil Diaspora and Implications for Service Delivery
Authors: Kanagaratnam Pushpa , Rummens J Anneke , TonerVA Brenda
Published: November 2022

Providing culturally appropriate mental health services to war-affected refugees residing in the West continues to pose many challenges. Gaining firsthand knowledge from the refugee communities themselves is crucial to improving our knowledge and guiding our interventions. The purpose of this study is to understand perceptions of war trauma in the Tamil diaspora. Fifty-one Sri Lankan Tamils living in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada, were interviewed. Transcripts were thematically analyzed using content analysis. Findings indicate that war trauma is not viewed by the diaspora as a pathological notion. Positioned within a moral context, and independent from isolated events of war, manifestations of war trauma were discussed at an interpersonal and collective level. Diagnostic categories, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), do not seem to fully capture the breadth of war trauma in this diaspora community. Implications for service delivery, and for incorporating the unique aspects of suffering resulting from a fragmented community, are discussed.

 
A Contemporary Study with Early School Leavers: Pathways and Social Processes of Leaving High School
Authors: Tilleczek Kate , Ferguson Bruce , Edney Dara Roth , Rummens J Anneke , Boydell Katherine , Mueller Michael
Published: November 2022

This article provides an account and discussion of research processes used in a contemporary study of early school leaving in Ontario, Canada. The Ontario Early School Leavers Study was conducted in conversation with 193 young people who left school prior to graduating, their educators and parents.  The study was informed by a review of international literatures which point to the need for innovative social approaches and youth-attuned methodologies in the study of early school leaving.  We present our research processes as informed by this literature and then present new analyses that illustrate critical social processes in early school leaving. The findings present unique data to show three pathways to early leaving and a constellation of risk and protective situations encountered by these young people along the way.  Risk situations included the daily social workings of poverty, low socioeconomic status, the need to take on early adult roles, “place”, academic and social disengagement, negative relations with families and/or school personnel, and inflexible or unsupportive school structures. Protective situations were encountered in supportive families; from parents and teachers; in schools that were caring, flexible, and proactive; and in processes of self determination. The perspectives of the young people are discussed in relation to the international literature and the perspectives of 71 parents and educators who participated in the study.  Impacts on practices in secondary schools suggest that early school leaving be recognized and treated as a heterogeneous, complex social process occurring at and across the nexus of families, schools, youth cultures and communities.

An Osteopathic Approach to Anemia
Authors: Pettitt Raena , Horkott Glynn , Reno Dillon , Grohol Bryce
Published: November 2022

With close to 2 billion people affected globally, anemia is a commonly seen condition worldwide. Diagnosed by a patient’s low hemoglobin, and then subsequently differentiated through red blood cell indices, a complete blood count should be performed on every patient presenting with the classic symptoms of anemia. Iron studies, as well as the corrected reticulocyte count and peripheral blood smears, can also be of use to further specify the exact type of anemia. Additionally, tests including colonoscopies, upper endoscopies and gynecologic procedures should be considered to identify the different underlying causes of the disease. The most common microcytic anemias include iron deficiency, thalassemia and anemia of inflammation. Deficiencies in folate and B12—also known as cobalamin—are the most common etiologies of macrocytic anemia. Treatment of each of these types of anemia is tailored to the individual patient based on the severity of their condition as well as the specific underlying cause. Osteopathically, anemia falls largely into the respiratory-circulatory model, as well as the metabolic-energy model, which can also be used to guide treatment. For a family physician, identifying symptoms, making accurate diagnoses and properly treating patients with anemia is of the utmost importance.

Low back pain (LBP) commonly happens and affects people in various types of work. High cholesterol level is not only a risk for plaque in the blood vessels but also a risk for LBP pain. The aim was to analyze the biochemistry of cholesterol in LBP patients receiving acupuncture therapy. The quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design was used at Griya Sehat Dewandaru and Prima Diagnostik Main Clinical Laboratory from March to November 2020. The total sample used was 30 patients, aged 40-60 years old, and reported Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scale 5-7. Acupuncture therapy was performed 10 times. Data were taken directly before therapy [T0], after five times [T5], and after ten times of therapy [T10]. The blood lipid profile assessment was carried out at T0, T5, and T10 and analyzed using SPSS version 23. The normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk test showed cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and VAS were normally distributed, while triglycerides were normally distributed by the Chi-Square test. Paired T-test results on cholesterol, LDL, and VAS showed a significant difference for all groups (p=0.000). Acupuncture therapy with a combination of local points and Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture [YNSA] points as much as 10 times was proven to reduce cholesterol by 12.6%, LDL by 20%, and VAS by 67.67%.

The postpartum period is the period after giving birth which is prone to postpartum depression. Psychologically, a woman who has just given birth often experiences mental distress, because the mother's emotions become unstable, sad, and easily offended. The husband's support is the most influential factor in adjusting the mother's emotional state. The study was to determine the relationship between the husband's support and the psychological adaptation process of postpartum mothers at the Denpasar Hospital in Bali. This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach, a sampling method with total sampling within the number of samples is 50 people. The results showed that most of the postpartum mothers who receive good husband support (N=22; 38.8%) experienced a safe and smooth taking-in phase (N=14; 13.6%). Postpartum mothers who received less husband support (N=9; 20%) experienced a phase of taking in postpartum blues in as many as 3 people. There was a significant relationship between the husband's support and the psychological adaptation process of postpartum mothers at RSAD Denpasar (p0.001). Husband's support is very influential in maintaining the psychological stability of postpartum mothers and good husband's support can prevent postpartum blues.

Stunting has still become a serious problem in Indonesia, including Manggarai Regency in the East Nusa Tenggara Province, where the prevalence of stunting increased to 23.5% in 2020. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Lonto Leok program based on Rumah Gendang in the prevention and treatment of stunting and analysis of the inhibiting factors. The research was conducted in Ling Village, North Satarmese District, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara using qualitative methods with a descriptive design. The research population was all parties involved in the program, and the sample was taken purposively. The instrument used is in-depth interviews conducted with the eight key participants including the head of the public health sector at the Manggarai District Health Office, village midwives, community leaders, pregnant women, and parents of stunting toddlers. The data was analyzed thematically. The results showed that the Lonto Leok program based on the Gendang House had not been effective in preventing and dealing with stunting problems because of the lack of community commitment to implement the agreements that had been discussed during implementation. Regular monitoring and evaluation are needed from related parties so that this program is really useful in preventing and dealing with stunting problems.

Published: November 2022

Dairy cow's milk production in Indonesia has not been able to meet the domestic demand for milk. The empowerment of dairy farmers was an effort to encourage milk productivity. This study examined the role of extension communication in empowering dairy farmers who were cooperative members. This study used four communication principles in empowerment: dialogue, voice, liberating pedagogy, and action-reflection-action. The qualitative research method used interview data collection techniques, observations, and document studies. The researcher determined the participants as empowerment actors when the research was conducted. The research found that the internal actors as extension agents were paramedics and the breeder actors were the farms' owners and the stables' keepers. The study's results found that paramedical officers' communication role as extension workers at KPS Bogor was insufficient to build the process of empowering dairy farmers. The process of dialogue, voice and liberating pedagogy occurs conditionally because of the position of the actors. Action-reflection-action process not found. These findings denoted that communication between extension workers and dairy farmers has not fully fulfilled the four communication principles in empowerment.AbstrakProduksi susu sapi perah di Indonesia belum mampu memenuhi kebutuhan susu dalam negeri. Pemberdayaan peternak sapi perah merupakan upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk mendorong produktivitas susu. Penelitian ini mengkaji peran komunikasi penyuluh dalam pemberdayaan peternak sapi perah anggota koperasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan empat prinsip komunikasi dalam pemberdayaan, yaitu dialog, voice, liberating pedagogy, dan aksi-refleksi-aksi. Metode penelitian adalah metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara, pengamatan dan studi dokumen. Peneliti menentukan partisipan sebagai aktor pemberdayaan pada saat penelitian dilakukan. Penelitian menemukan aktor dalam sebagai penyuluh adalah tenaga paramedis dan aktor peternak adalah pemilik peternakan dan penjaga kandang. Hasil penelitian menemukan peran komunikasi petugas paramedis sebagai penyuluh di KPS Bogor tidak cukup membangun proses pemberdayan peternak sapi perah. Proses dialog, voice, dan liberating pedagogy terjadi kondisional karena posisi para aktor. Proses aksi-refleksi-aksi tidak ditemukan. Ini menunjukkan komunikasi antara penyuluh dan peternak sapi perah belum sepenuhnya memenuhi keempat prinsip komunikasi dalam pemberdayaan.

Adaptability must be possessed by every sector in order to survive with changes in information and communication technology. The government takes advantage of this change through E-Government, namely the Village Financial System. The Larangan Village Government has implemented Village Financial System but there are still problems, namely human resources have not been fully able to adapt to Village Financial System even though they have been given technical guidance, and internet network facilities are slow so Village Financial System often has errors. The purpose of this study was to determine the adaptability of the Village Financial System Village Financial System in the Larangan Village, Candi District, Sidoarjo Regency. The research method uses descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the adaptability of SISKEUDES still has obstacles such as a slow internet network, limited staff who control SISKEUDES operations, and technical guidance from the Regency Government through the Development Finance Supervisory Agency which is considered not optimal.AbstrakKemampuan adaptasi harus dimiliki oleh setiap sektor agar dapat bertahan dengan perubahan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi. Pemerintah memanfaatkan perubahan tersebut melalui E-Government yaitu Sistem Keuangan Desa. Pemerintah Desa Larangan telah menerapkan Sistem Keuangan Desa tetapi masih terdapat permasalahan yaitu sumber daya manusia belum sepenuhnya mampu beradaptasi dengan Sistem Keuangan Desa walaupun telah diberikan bimbingan teknis, dan sarana jaringan internet yang lambat sehingga Sistem Keuangan Desa sering error. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mengetahui kemampuan adaptasi Sistem Keuangan Desa di Desa Larangan Kecamatan Candi Kabupaten Sidoarjo. Metode penelitian menggunakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kemampuan adaptasi SISKEUDES masih terdapat kendala seperti jaringan internet yang lambat, keterbatasan pegawai yang menguasai operasional SISKEUDES, dan bimtek dari Pemerintah Kabupaten melalui Badan Pengawasan Keuangan Pembangunan yang belum maksimal.

Coral disease is a major cause of coral reef degradation, yet many diseases remain understudied. Yellow-banded tissue loss disease (YBTLD) has a distinct gross lesion morphology and to date has only been reported from the Arabian/Persian Gulf; little else is known about the ecology of the disease. We report on the first occurrence of YBTLD outside of the Arabian/Persian Gulf at 2 sites (Laku Point, Narara Reef) within the Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) located on the northwest coast of India. At Narara Reef, YBTLD was observed at 12 out of 24 transects with an average prevalence of 4.7 ± 1.3%. At Laku Point, YBTLD was observed at 19 out of 24 transects with an average prevalence of 5.4 ± 1%. Four out of 15 coral genera within transects had signs of YBTLD and included Goniopora, Dipsastraea, Lobophyllia, and Turbinaria. Lobophyllia and Turbinaria had the highest susceptibility to the disease, with prevalence significantly higher than expected based on their abundance on the reefs. The distribution and prevalence of YBTLD in the GoK was higher than in coral reefs in the Arabian/Persian Gulf. The GoK is an extreme environment for coral reefs with both natural stressors (high salinities, strong, seasonal storm activities, and extreme tides) and anthropogenic pollutants from industrial, mining, agricultural, and domestic activities. These poor environmental conditions may help explain the high occurrence of YBTLD on GoK reefs.
Forensic determination of shark species as predators and scavengers of sea turtles in Florida and Alabama, USA

Sharks are the primary predator of large immature and mature sea turtles, yet the shark species responsible for both lethal and non-lethal injuries are rarely identified. Forensic analysis of bite wounds can be used to accurately assess size and potential shark species when combined with observations on species-specific feeding behavior, geographic distribution, and habitat preference. The objective of this study was to use forensic analysis of bite damage on sea turtles to infer shark size and species. Photographs from 13 cases of documented shark predation (n = 10) and scavenging (n = 3) attempts on sea turtles were retrospectively analyzed, including nesting, free-ranging, and/or dead stranded loggerhead Caretta caretta, green Chelonia mydas, Kemp’s ridley Lepidochelys kempii, and leatherback Dermochelys coriacea sea turtles in Florida and Alabama, USA, from 2010-2020. Mean interdental distance (IDD) and bite circumference (BC) of wound marks on sea turtles suggest that wounds were generated by white sharks Carcharodon carcharias in 3 cases, tiger sharks Galeocerdo cuvier in 3 cases, and bull shark(s) Carcharhinus leucas in one case. For 3 cases with less distinct wound patterns, 2 likely shark species were identified and thereafter narrowed down to a single species based on bite mark characteristics (e.g. punctures). Due to indistinct IDD and BC ranges of the bite patterns, a single shark species was not identified in 3 cases. Forensic analysis enables more accurate evaluations of which shark species prey on and scavenge sea turtles and is a useful technique for studying the behavioral interactions of sharks and turtles.
