Authors: Kaminskyi Andriy , Nehrey Maryna , Fedchun Anastasiia
Published: April 2023

The inclusion of ESG factors (Environmental, Social, Governance) in the assessment of investment attractiveness is a dynamic trend in the current period. The integrated indicator of these factors is the ESG score. In the paper, the authors examined the interdependencies between the three indicators: ESG scores, expected returns, and risks. The survey was conducted for 21 companies from Central and Eastern Europe. The inverse relationship between ESG score and risk is shown, as well as the practical absence of a relationship with expected returns. ESG score effect in risk assessment of direct and portfolio investment was identified and analyzed.

EFL Teachers' Continuous Professional Development: Reflections on and Target Needs
Authors: Eshete Mulualem , Gezahegn Girma
Published: April 2023

Continuous Professional development (CPD) has received growing attention in teacher education research since it has the potential to affect teacher learning. Despite this, studies on EFL teachers' needs for CPD have been limited. To bridge this gap, this study investigated EFL teachers' reflections on and target needs for CPD. This study employed a mixed-methods research design, which involves both quantitative and qualitative approaches to answer the research questions. The research participants included 20 EFL teachers teaching at government high schools, and the data were collected using a test, questionnaires, and interviews. The findings indicated that EFL teachers have different views of their lacks, wants, and necessities. Furthermore, EFL teachers reflected that the current CPD program, which is practiced in their school, was never conducted to help them develop their profession. At the 0.01 level (2-tailed), there was a strong, negative correlation between EFL teachers’ CPD target needs and their reflections on the current CPD (rs = -0.961, n = 20, p = 0.01). Finally, the study recommends revising the CPD program; stakeholders should conduct program evaluations and then incorporate teachers’ reflections and target needs for CPD.
Designing a Distance Course for Developing the Art Teachers’ Media and Information Literacy
Authors: Havrilova Liudmula , Beskorsa Olena , Ishutina Olena
Published: April 2023

Currently, media literacy is a necessary component of the general information culture of a person, which becomes absolutely crucial in the conditions of Russia’s military aggression and the harsh realities of the Ukrainian information space with numerous examples of spreading untrue, unverified, and “fake” information. In recent years, the concept of “media information literacy” (MIL) has become normalized in scientific circulation. It implies recognition of the leading role of information and media in everyday life, enables citizens to understand the functions of mass media and other information providers, critically evaluate their content and make informed decisions. In the documents of UNESCO and the European Commission, the concept of MIL is used as a universal term that denotes a set of knowledge, attitudes, abilities, and skills that allow access to information and knowledge, analyse, evaluate, use, create and disseminate them with maximum productivity in accordance with legislative and ethical standards and with respect for human rights. The article highlights the process of designing the distance course “Media Literacy in Art Classes” for teachers of general secondary education institutions that teach the courses of the art cycle, in particular, the integrated course “Art”. Scientific sources and legal documents were analysed to clarify the essence and modern interpretation of the concept of “media information literacy”; a number of mass open online courses on media literacy were considered; a survey of art teachers was conducted. According to the results of the survey, 6 topics, which were the most interesting to the respondents, were selected and the structure of the distance course, designed for 30 hours, 1 ECTS credit, was formed. The content of the course includes the study of the peculiarities of perception and critical evaluation of visual and audiovisual arts, as well as various aspects of the impact of media arts on the content of media messages. The course can be offered to teachers, especially teachers of primary school and courses in the educational field “Art”, as a certification programme in the system of advanced training.
Memories and Motherhood in the Rhythms of Ugandan Computing
Authors: Holden Kerry , Harsh Matthew , Bal Ravtosh
Published: April 2023

Based on ethnographic research in the computing communities of Ugandan universities, we advance a feminist and decolonial critique of the dominant chronopolitics of globalizing technologies. Our analysis starts with participants recounting their childhood memories of growing up in rural poverty under the shadow of rebellion wars. We show how the future promises of computing make sense in reference to this past. The same chronopolitics of pitching the past against the future is used by the global computing and donor development industry, and Uganda’s governing regime, which disguises the symbolic and physical violence of the evacuated present. In coping with the precarities of the present, we show how female computing researchers build enduring “near futures” through work that corresponds to the historical and symbolic role of Ugandan women in the domestic realm. And yet the chronopolitics of global computing syncopates with that of “near futures.” Women’s communal roles are written into computing and computing is made possible and doable in Uganda through the gendered logics of care practised in the present. The paper thus contributes to an expanding literature on computing in Africa, by providing a temporal analysis that recognizes women’s roles in more substantive ways.
Data Surrogates as Hosts: Politics of Environmental Governance
Authors: Sivakumar Akshita
Published: April 2023

Data-driven environmental governance within the standard regulatory regime routinely relies on unmeasurable, missing, or abjected data. Technocrats typically use data surrogates to alleviate this pervasive problem. By combining feminist technoscience and critical environmental justice approaches, this article argues that data surrogates are far more than fungible substitutes and rely on more than scientific rationality and transcendent objectivity. Through a case of intersecting environmental governance and justice work in the Portside Community in San Diego, this article exposits a broader conceptualization of data surrogates by developing a partial typology of operations they perform: calibrating, weighting, and validating. The politics and labors of these operations are crucial to analyze how data acquire material and discursive power in environmental governance. I propose an analytical shift from examining the work of data surrogates in terms of substituting to one of hosting. This shift reveals and better explains how data surrogates negotiate relationships between body, place, and property across state, market, and civil society actors. Moreover, it demonstrates how data surrogates interrupt the dominant regulatory regime by resisting fungibility through acts of social reproduction. Far from being subordinate to technocratic tools, the work of social reproduction makes governing with scientific and technical instruments both possible and contestable.
Introduction: Domestication of War
Authors: Pardo Pedraza Diana , Chacko Xan Sarah , Terry Jennifer , Neimanis Astrida
Published: April 2023

This Special Section broadens and qualifies the terms through which the relationship between home and militarization has been understood. We do this by joining a vibrant and growing field of transdisciplinary scholars who address the militarization of everyday life by attending to domesticity and practices of domestication. We grapple with how the home naturalizes and becomes a catalyst for militarism:  How do ordinary and domestic objects, technologies, spaces, and infrastructures make violence feel at home in the world? We are concerned with the domestic life of militarization as oikos: the household, habitat, and milieu of violent material relationships that are both ongoing and latent. The domestic is not just a discrete, private space; it also extends into public spaces like neighborhoods, local businesses, waste disposal infrastructures, hospices, and crop fields. Developed within an editorial process rooted in a feminist ethos, the articles collected here provide critical and alternative methodologies and disciplinary forms for considering militarism's aesthetics, affects, and modes of appearance. This collection resists conventional spatialities, temporalities, and incarnations of war while calling attention to the obscuring of violence through practices of care and marketing operations.
Perencanaan Lanskap untuk Pelestarian Budaya Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi Kabupaten Sukabumi Berbasis Bioregion
Authors: Arrasiansi Alvira Maisya , Pramukanto Qodarian
Published: April 2023

Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi is one of the Kasepuhan that has long inhabited lived in the Mount Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS) and utilizes part of the TNGHS area to meet their basic needs by farming in the fields (huma) and in the rice fields. However, after the expansion of the TNGHS area, access to utilize the natural resources for agriculture cultivation activities has decreased. Moreover, by increasing the population with a growth rate of 0.95% need more agricultural cultivation in order to be able to supply adequate staple food. This is very influential in decreasing the quantity of food production to meet consumption needs. The purpose of this research is to plan the landscape for the preservation of Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi based on bioregion. A bioregion is a geographical area, the boundaries of which are not defined by the administrative or political system but are limited by cultural and natural features. The research stages consist of preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis, and planning. The analysis was carried out to identify problems in each bioregion by looking at the balance of food needs (rice) and the existence of production land in huma and rice fields. Due to limited production land, it is necessary to optimize existing land resources. Synthesis is carried out by evaluating the potential and problems in each bioregion unit. The results of the evaluation are used as a direction for the concept of the landscape plan. The final result of this research is presented as a landscape plan map for the preservation of Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi.

One of the city parks owned by Bandung City is Taman Abdi Negara. The area of Taman Abdi Negara covers 4.1 ha. The condition of Taman Abdi Negara experienced various damages such as the absence of a parking area, damage to the paving blocks of the road surface for pedestrians, the absence of lighting in the garden area, the children'splay facilities were not maintained and left inoperative, the gazebo and seats were damaged, many acts of vandalism, as well as dirty conditions with scattered garbage and inadequate for visitors. This paper aims to analyze asset quality based on five criteria, i.e. access, recreation facilities, amenities, natural features, and incivilities. This study uses an exploratory method with data collection through observation and interviews with the manager of Taman Abdi Negara. The results obtained show that the asset quality of Taman Abdi Negara is based on the dimensions of adequate/medium quality access, while the dimensions of recreation facilities, amenities, natural features and incivilities are of poor quality. Thus, the overall asset quality of Taman Abdi Negara is included in the category of poor. This is due to the poor quality of assets in the park area, so it is necessary to plan for asset development and then carry out asset maintenance activities in Taman Abdi Negara, Bandung City.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT

Covid-19 pandemic brings multi-sectoral impact which encourages economic weakening and carries political instability. In this case, developing countries are affected massively by the pandemic. Vulnerable economic stability and unsteady government management encourage the state to experience inability to adapt to the restriction imposed during pandemic. Some developing countries that are not depended on tourism as their economic spine, still have chance to recover through other sector than tourism. However, the phenomena during pandemic appear to be such a condition where developing countries, which are ‘tourism-dependent’, experience terrific economic contraction. Especially, the archipelagic state that rely on natural tourism as the main attraction. The archipelagic states that rely on tourism and experience economic contraction along with political instability are Maldives and Bahamas Islands.

Keywords: Covid-19 pandemic; Maldives; Bahamas Islands; archipelagic state.

ABSTRAK

Pandemi Covid-19 memberikan dampak multi-sektoral yang mendorong melemahnya ekonomi hingga mengganggu stabilitas politik negara. Dalam hal ini, negara-negara berkembang merupakan objek yang terdampak pandemi cukup masif. Stabilitas ekonomi yang rentan dan manajemen pemerintahan yang goyah mendorong negara kesulitan beradaptasi dengan pembatasan yang diberlakukan selama pandemi. Beberapa negara berkembang yang tidak menggantungkan perekonomiannya pada pariwisata masih dapat memulihkan perekonomiannya dengan mengembangkan sektor lainnya sebagai penopang. Akan tetapi, melihat fenomena yang muncul di masa pandemi, maka dapat dilihat negara-negara berkembang yang bergantung pada sektor pariwisata mengalami kontraksi ekonomi yang cukup hebat. Terutama negara-negara kepulauan yang mengandalkan wisata alam sebagai destinasi andalannya. Negara-negara kepulauan yang bergantung pada pariwisata dan mengalami kontraksi ekonomi dan instabilitas politik antara lain yaitu Maladewa dan Kepulauan Bahama.

Dealing with the unexpected. Unusual animals in an Early Roman cistern fill in the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia, Poros
Authors:   The Kalaureia Research Program, Mylona Dimitra
Published: April 2023

The excavation of the Early Roman fill of an Archaic cistern in the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia on Poros produced the remains of a range of animals that are not usually found together in closed contexts. Consideration of taphonomic parameters and of the specific features of the assemblage indicates that it represents the remains of ritual activities. This paper aims to explore the possibilities of using the material remains (in this case the bones and shells) to detect ritual activities of a type not referred to in the written sources. Such an exploration brings forward issues of definition and interpretation of what can be seen as sacred or profane in the context of a cult place such as a sanctuary.
Rituels sacrificiels et offrandes animales dans le Sarapieion C de Délos
Authors:   Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV), Brun Hélène , Leguilloux Martine ,   Centre archéologique du Var - Établissement de Toulon
Published: April 2023

In 2001, 2002 and 2004 two hearth altars (escharones) were excavated in the Sarapieion C on the island of Delos in Greece. They contained remains of sacrifices, notably rich zooarchaeological evidence, which has thrown light on the rituals practised in this sanctuary. The inscriptions are silent on this matter and the study of the bone assemblage thus constitutes important evidence. The rituals involved sacrifices of poultry (Gallus domesticus), making up 90% and 70% of the bone material collected in each hearth altar deposit, respectively. These poultry sacrifices were combined with those of small ruminants and pigs. The handling of the victims differed according to the species: the cocks and hens were consecrated whole while only parts of the sheep and the pigs were offered. The two altars excavated in the Sarapieion C do not belong to the same period and a study of the bone evidence brings out distinctions between them. The oldest altar was no doubt abandoned when the younger one was brought into use, probably at the end of the 2nd century BC. It is interesting to note such differences that perhaps are to be explained by the development of the ritual practices in the sanctuary during the 2nd century BC. The zooarchaeological material also gives information on the performance of the sacrifices, which differed in accordance with the animal species involved. All the bones from gallinaceous birds show traces of carbonization and these burnt bones indicate sacrifices of entire animals, of the holocaustic kind. The bone evidence from the small ruminants and pigs are partially burnt and some bones are even unburnt, which indicates only a selective burning of the bodies. One can of course compare the sacrificial practices identified in the Sarapieion C on Delos with those studied at other sanctuaries dedicated to the same divinities and thus demonstrate the presence of a possible “koine” in Isis worship. However, similar sacrifices were also performed in cults of healing deities (foremost in sanctuaries of Asklepios). Historical interpretation should thus proceed with caution.
The zooarchaeology of cult. Perspectives and pitfalls of an experimental approach

Published: April 2023

A broad variety of ritual behaviours involve the killing and/or consumption of domestic as well as game animals, and are functionally assigned to most important social procedures and ceremonies such as religious worship, activities of public administration or funerary rites and very often also to subsistence-oriented sacrifice. Material remains indicative of these ceremonies reveal specific aspects of the ritual procedure, but their significance is always dependent on the degree of scrutiny that has been spent during archaeological excavation and more so in the analysis of the finds. Focusing on ritual patterns in Mediterranean antiquity, the remains of burnt offerings and agglomerations of caprine horn cores are attested frequently by the zooarchaeological record. Even when literary descriptions of all of these sacrificial activities are available, obvious uncertainties about the actual procedure of burning meria and osphys and of the consecration of goat horns made experimental efforts necessary. Experimental approaches characterize a well established methodological tradition in archaeological and historical research, not only enhancing our understanding of poorly handed down evidence of ancient life, but also allowing the feasibility of reconstructive suggestions to be judged. On the other hand, obtaining evidence by means of experimental studies always has to take into account potential and maybe biasing phenomena of convergence. Talking in terms of evolutionary biology, the phenotypically similar appearance of archaeological findings and experimental results has to be understood as the outcome of two distinctly evolved and necessarily different processes.
Bones in Greek sanctuaries: answers and questions
Authors:   University of Oxford, Scullion Scott
Published: April 2023

The paper begins by surveying some old problems in the study of Greek ritual to which the zooarchaeological evidence has brought answers, or at any rate illuminating new perspectives (sacrifice to Herakles on Thasos, and Herakles’ identity there; sacrifice at Kalapodi/Hyampolis). The focus then shifts to the attestation by the bones of the eating of “nonsacrificable” species of animal in sanctuaries, suggesting that we ought at least to reckon with the possibility that such consumption was common, that sacrificable animals too were not uncommonly eaten without being sacrificed, and that in general the Greeks may have been less scrupulous about sacrificial feasting, and about meat-eating in general, than modern scholars have tended to suppose. It may be that in this sphere, as (I have argued elsewhere) in others, the sacrality of the central ritual “tapered off ” quite sharply, and that the banqueting, like festival events such as parades, markets, athletics, and dramatic and musical performances, was in practice felt to be essentially “secular”.
Petrology and Geochemical Features of Crystalline Rocks in Ora-Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria

Published: April 2023

This research investigates and reports on the petrology and geochemical characteristics of crystalline basement rocks in Ora-Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria. Exhaustive geological investigation reveals migmatite, banded gneiss, granite gneiss and biotite gneiss underlie the area. In reducing order of abundance, petrographic examination reveals that migmatite contains quartz, muscovite and opaque minerals. Banded geniuses contain quartz, biotite, plagioclase, and opaque minerals. Granite geniuses contain quartz, plagioclase, biotite, microcline and opaque; while biotite geniuses contain biotite, plagioclase, opaque minerals, and quartz. Silica contents in migmatite (69.50%-72.66%; ca. 71.23%), banded gneiss (71.66%-77.1%; ca. 75.23%), biotite gneiss (72.32%-76.18%; ca. 73.83%) and granite gneiss (69.82%-73.15%; ca. 71.95%) indicate the rocks are siliceous. High alumina contents in migmatite (12.18%), banded gneiss (10.28%), biotite gneiss (11.46%) and granite gneiss (9.97%) are comparable to similar rocks in the basement complex. All the rocks show Ba, Sr and Rb enrichment. Harker diagrams of Al2O3 versus SiO2 and CaO versus SiO2 show negative trends while Na2O versus SiO2, K2O versus SiO2 and TiO2 versus SiO2 plots showed positive trends. This variation probably depicts extensive crystal fractionation in the magmatic systems that produced the rocks prior to metamorphism or partial melting of the precursor rock. SiO2 versus (Na2O + K2O) classifies the rocks as granite to granodiorite. The rocks are high K-calc-alkaline and calc-alkalic on SiO2-K2O plot. This shows the rocks are potassic meaningthat they are formed from a potassium-rich source. The plot of Al2O3/(Na2O + K2O) versus Al2O3/(CaO +Na2O + K2O) reveals the crystalline rocks are orogenic and originated from granitoid with meta luminous affinity. The rocks consist of gneisses of no economic minerals, but the petrology reveals them as common rocks typical of metamorphic terrains and geochemical features of the rocks reveal they are felsic and of granitic composition.
Biology, abiotic factors and biotechnology influencing flower colour
Authors: Domenico Prisa
Published: April 2023

Flower colour is an important feature that adds aesthetic value to flowering plants as a key element in consumer choice. Colour expression is determined by a combination of several factors: type, quantity and stability of pigments, pH of the cells, copigmentation, and translocation of the pigments themselves from the production site. Various factors, such as light, temperature, sugars, fertilisers and metals, can also influence its expressions. The pigments most responsible for the colour of flowers are flavonoids and carotenoids. Intervening on this character through technical-agronomic interventions, or by modifying the pigment composition in plants through traditional breeding or, more recently, acting on the biosynthetic pathway through genetic engineering, is a highly relevant goal. The technical, genetic and biochemical knowledge presented in this review provides the basis for increasing the chances of success.

Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Melalui Media Radio dan Televisi
Authors: Muzammil Ahmad
Published: April 2023

Learning Arabic in Indonesia has existed since the arrival of Islam in the first century of Hijriyah. Learning Arabic was initially focused on understanding the meaning of the verses of the Qur'an, the hadiths of the Prophet and to understand the sources of Islamic law. Therefore Arabic is taught in all educational institutions, starting from salaf pesantren, madrasah Diniyah and also formal institutions ranging from elementary level institutions to tertiary level. Based on the existing facts that the Indonesian people are not of Arab ethnicity. but from Javanese, Madurese, Sundanese and other ethnicities, Arabic is a second language and even a third language after the regional language and national language. Thus, in the process of learning Arabic, many problems are found. One of the main problems is the reluctance of students to learn Arabic from the start. Thus, Arabic teachers should use media that is easy and can arouse students' motivation in learning Arabic, such as learning Arabic with radio and TV media. After conducting research and studying Arabic language learning using radio and TV media, it can be concluded that the application of learning Arabic using radio and TV media is not suitable for all people, learning with radio and TV media is only suitable for middle and high level students.

Muscles for hand functions and movements play a major role in basic daily activities such aswriting and lifting objects. The main digit of the finger in differentiating the hand gesture is the thumb and its main muscles are intrinsic muscles. However, for transradial amputees, despite the loss of access to the intrinsic muscles, any information from the extrinsic muscles would be paramount and non-negotiablein creating a perfect hand prosthesis. As such, the research is dedicated to study the relationship between extrinsic muscles located athuman’sforearm to characterize the actual thumb attitudes.A 64-channel HD-sEMGrecording device together with a thumb force measuring platform wasutilizedtocollect the required signals from 17 participants at several thumb angle positions namely zero-degrees, thirty-degree, sixty-degrees, and ninety-degree. For each position, the participants were required to place their thumbs on top of a load cell at relax (no force at all) and contact (30% of their individual Maximum VoluntaryContraction or known as MVC) conditions repetitively by following a designated trajectory. Feature extraction was performed by calculating the Root Mean Square (RMS) values of the HD-sEMG data collected from each channel. Six different classifiers have been used to classify the relationship between the forearm HD-sEMG and the corresponding thumb positions.As a result, LazyIBK obtained the highest correctly classified instances with 81.05%. The finding is significant in developing a dedicated control framework for a prosthetic hand for tansradial amputees that can operate as closely as normal

In 1980, the World Health Assembly officially declared smallpox eradicated in the world, which allowed developed countries to stop preventive vaccination against this disease. However, circulating and emerging orthopoxviruses along with the lack of herd immunity prompt the need for emergency smallpox vaccines meeting the current requirements for biologicals.

The aim of the study was to analyse the safety and efficacy of third-generation smallpox vaccines based on the MVA strain of vaccinia virus compliant with the current (stricter) immunogenicity and safety requirements in healthy subjects and especially in patients with underlying health conditions, considering the lack of herd immunity to orthopoxviruses.

The authors analysed the existing experience with smallpox vaccines. The vaccines based on the modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) strain hold a special place amongst other third-generation vaccines, as this strain is safe and can be used for creating vector vaccines. Bavarian Nordic produces the MVA-based vaccine under three brand names (Imvanex in the EU, Jynneos™ in the USA, and IMVAMUNE® in Canada). According to the results of MVA-based vaccine clinical trials in healthy volunteers and patients with various underlying conditions, the main mild adverse drug reactions (erythema, pain, pruritus, and swelling) were mostly registered at the injection site. The systemic adverse drug reactions included fatigue, headache, myalgia, and chills; several subjects developed upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, and gastroenteritis, which resolved spontaneously within a day. MVA-based vaccines did not cause any cardiac abnormalities, including myo- or pericarditis. Thus, the vaccines may be used in patients with eczema, atopic dermatitis, inflammatory skin conditions, HIV, tuberculosis, cardiac abnormalities, as well as in children, adolescents, and pregnant women. The optimal intradermal immunisation dose was 1×108 TCID50. Two injections at this dose induced a pronounced humoral and cell-mediated immune response comparable to that induced by one administration of a first-generation smallpox vaccine. At this dose, the study vaccine also boosted pre-existing immunity conferred by a first-generation vaccine. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend Jynneos™ for preventing monkeypox in adults (18 years of age and older).

Ecological risk in the mouth of Kepez Stream has recently increased notably due to waste from the Kepez settlement, agricultural activity in the Kepez delta, maritime traffic in the Çanakkale Strait, and summer houses in the coastal area. This study analyzed the ecological risk of 10 sediment samples along the bed in the mouth of Kepez Stream to shed light on anthropogenically induced pollution. The pollution proxies such as chlorophyll degradation products, heavy metal concentrations and organic carbon of the sediment samples were determined. Enrichment Factor (EF), Contamination Factor (CF), Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo) and Potential Ecological Risk Index (PER) were calculated from the results obtained. Spearman's correlation analysis and factor analysis were also performed. The obtained data show that there is moderate enrichment of Zn, As and Co, a significant level of Pb, and very high level of Cr in the sediments of Kepez Stream. Ni enrichment was determined to be excessive and poses a high potential ecological risk. Cleaning and rehabilitation need to be carried out urgently in the mouth of Kepez Stream. It should be determined whether metals are being transmitted to aquatic organisms, and measures should be taken to reduce the sources of pollution.
A Case Study of Tramline Analysis with Transit-Oriented Development Approach: Bursa T2 Tramline
Authors: Şengüler Betül , Duran Zaide
Published: April 2023

The article highlights the importance of transportation systems in urbanization processes, especially in densely populated cities where the need for transportation and infrastructure systems arises as cities spread towards their peripheries. Public transportation systems' priority transportation policies are developed by local governments to meet accessibility at the optimum level, minimize harmful environmental effects, and save time and cost. Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a planning approach adopted in many cities to reduce private vehicle use by developing public transit stations around high-density mixed land use and walkable environments. This study assesses the potential for TOD development at eleven stations of the T2 tram line on the Bursa-Istanbul road, using the 6Ds of built environment variables as indicators and GIS methods and applications to measure all spatial indicators. TOD indexes were examined for each station to identify potential improvement strategies, and each station was classified as having a high, medium, or low TOD index. By understanding the specific strategies for different TOD indices, this article aims to support development areas to improve local urban development towards higher TOD levels.

This study aims to analyze how social media, Twitter @BRGM Indonesia, is used as a communication medium for disseminating information and outreach and environmental campaigns related to peatland restoration and mangrove rehabilitation. This study uses a qualitative research approach with data analysis using the Nvivo 12 Plus software. This type of research data uses secondary data obtained and collected from @BRGM Indonesia’s twitter activity from March 2019 to October 2021, while supporting data is obtained from literature and social media. The research findings show that social media Twitter @BRGM Indonesia in its tweets is dominated by information related to peat restoration rather than mangrove rehabilitation. The findings reinforce that the previous BRGM was a BRG that focused on restoring peat after the great fires in 2015, and was considered to have completed its task in 2020, then added workload to rehabilitate mangroves. But the use of @BRGM Indonesia’s social media Twitter, still needs to be more effective, and the interaction only focuses on government agencies. At the same time, the information contained in the tweets mentioned does not match the contents.Keywords: Social media, environmental campaigns, peat restoration, mangrove rehabilitation, BRGM ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana media sosial Twitter @BRGM Indonesia digunakan sebagai media komunikasi untuk menyebarluaskan informasi dan sosialisasi serta kampanye lingkungan terkait restorasi gambut dan rehabilitasi mangrove.
