Introduction: Dysphagia is the common post-stroke complication. It is a common cause of prolonged hospital or intensive care unit stay, increased morbidity and mortality. However, literature on the occurrence of post-stroke dysphagia is scanty in Ethiopia. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of post-stroke dysphagia in West Amhara region, Ethiopia, 2021.Methods:An institution-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted in West Amhara region at Felege Hiwot comprehensive specialized hospital from September 20/2021 to October 10 / 2021.Charts of 568 stroke patients were reviewed through a simple random sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, bi-variable, and multi-variable log-binomial regressions were applied. Predictors that had a p-value < 0.25 on bi-variable regression analysis were entered into a final model. Result: The cumulative incidence of post stroke dysphagia was 43% (95% CI 39% - 47%).Baseline Glasgow coma scale level of less than eight (ARR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.41-0.79), ischemic stroke (ARR = 1.63, 95% CI 1.09-2.40), gastro esophageal reflex disease (ARR = 2.07, 95% CI 1.48-2.88), having seizure (ARR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.08-2.42) and nasogastric tube therapy (ARR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.35-2.53) were found to be significant predictors of post stroke dysphagia. Conclusion: In this study, the cumulative incidence of post-stroke dysphagia was 43 percent, with an incidence density rate of 7/100 person day-observation. A lower baseline Glasgow coma scale level, type of stroke, gastroesophageal reflux disease, having a seizure and nasogastric tube therapy were found as risk factors that increase the risk of post-stroke dysphagia. Thus, health care professionals shall give special attention and clinical care accordingly for patients with risk factors of post-stroke dysphagia.Keywords: Dysphagia, Stroke, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia

Drugs that induce and inhibit cytochrome P450. A study with real-world evidence v1
Authors: Machado Alba Jorge
Published: May 2022

Introduction: The induction and inhibition of cytochrome P450 are associated with multiple pharmacological interactions, which can lead to loss of efficacy or increase the risk of adverse drug reactions. Objective: To determine the prescription patterns of cytochrome P450-inducing and -inhibiting drugs and their contraindicated and major pharmacological interactions in a group of patients from Colombia. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included patients who received drugs that induce or inhibit metabolism and examined their contraindicated and major pharmacological interactions. The patients were identified from a population database and the Micromedex® tool. Results: A total of 63,433 patients were analyzed, with a median age of 61 years, and 63.1% were women. Antiepileptics (35.9%) and antifungals (27.6%) were the most commonly used inducers and inhibitors. A total of 30.1% of patients had potential contraindicated or greater interactions. The following factors were associated with a higher probability of presenting a potential pharmacological interaction: being male (OR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.10-1.19), being between 18-39 years (OR: 1.77; 95% CI 1.67-1.89) or between 40-64 years (OR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.56-1.72), having neurological diseases (OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.21-1.35), having psychiatric diseases (OR: 3.84; 95% CI: 3.58-4.13), having rheumatologic diseases (OR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.23-1.41), receiving comedications with statins (OR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.08-1, 19), receiving comedications with analgesics (OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.27-1.38), receiving comedications with antiparasitics (OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 2.66-3.11), and an increase in the number of medications (OR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.23-1.25). Conclusions:Among the users of cytochrome P450 inhibitors and inducers, potential contraindications and greater interactions are very common, especially in men under 65 years of age with comorbidities and polypharmacy.

Ground-Motion Prediction Equations for Shallow-Crustal and Upper-Mantle Earthquakes in Japan Using Site Class and Segmented Geometric Attenuation Functions for the Horizontal Component
Authors: Kang Lili , Zhao John X.
Published: May 2022

We present a set of ground-motion prediction equations for the horizontal components of the strong-motion records from shallow-crustal and upper-mantle earthquakes in Japan. We used a reasonably large dataset from earthquakes with a moment magnitude (Mw) over 4.9 and a reliable earthquake category determined by the tectonic location of earthquakes up to the end of 2012. The modeling of source and site effects in this study is similar to that by Zhao, Zhou, et al. (2016); a two-segmented model for the magnitude scaling function hinged at Mw 7.1 and site-period-based site classes were used as the site effect proxy that accounts for the effect of the nonlinear soil response. We used two types of multisegmented geometric attenuation functions with the distance break points based on the distributions of within-event residuals versus source distance. We found that the geometric attenuation functions with three distance break points (70, 130, and 220 km) for the shallow-crustal earthquakes and with two distance break points (90 and 150 km) for the upper-mantle events improved the model performance significantly. The first two break points for the shallow-crustal events are similar to those for the attenuation of the Fourier spectrum due to Moho reflection, but the corresponding coefficients between these spectra differ significantly. For the upper-mantle events, the geometric attenuation coefficient is somewhat surprisingly close to −1.0 for the first segment, 0.0 for the second segment, and −0.5 for the third segment at many periods, because these values are close to the classic attenuation rates of the Fourier spectrum for shallow-crustal events but having different distance break points. Moho reflection is not usually present in the ground motions from deep events, and we can only provide a plausible explanation; a future study is warranted for a theoretical explanation.

Published: May 2022

Objective: The study was aimed to identify the awareness of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma among university students and to compare awareness of COPD and asthma at the faculty of health science and education.

Methods: The universe of this cross-sectional observational study was students at Faculty of Health Science and Education in Hatay Mustafa Kemal University. Students divided into two groups (Group I: 317 Faculty of Health Science students, and Group II: 308 Faculty of Education students). TC Ministry of Health Chronic Airway Diseases Prevention Control Program Asthma-COPD Awareness Questionnaire Form was applied to volunteer face to face or via the internet.

Results: Correct answers about COPD awareness were approximately above 70% except for questions: “Is COPD a treatable disease?” and “What test is required for the diagnosis of COPD?”. Correct answers about asthma awareness were approximately above 60% except for questions “Are asthma medications addictive?” and “Is asthma a disease that can be cured completely?”. The questions about awareness of COPD and asthma were answered more correctly in Group I more than in Group II except for questions: “In which age group is COPD most common” and “Are asthma medications addictive?” (p

: There are real differences in between what doctors do in controlled settings or their actual performance in real life situation. This study was carried to find out whether there is achievement of performance apart from competence after a simulation based training among post graduates of obstetrics.

: Seven resident doctors of Obstetrics and Gynecology were randomly assigned to study group A and the other seven to control group B. The study group students were taught normal delivery on birthing simulators. They were then evaluated for competence through an OSPE performance followed by DOPS in labour room by independent observers. Constructive feedback was given. The control group then underwent a crossover

On analyzing the results it was found that competence achieved was better in study group as compared to control group for conducting vaginal delivery and this was statistically significant for all 5 OSCE stations. Performance achieved in conducting normal delivery was measured by DOPS which was also better in study group as compared to control group and this was statistically significant for all the 11 skills. Comparison was done by applying unpaired student’s t-test for both OSCE and DOPS. Faculty and students had good satisfaction with simulation based teaching and found it to be a better method than the traditional method.

Simulation based training of postgraduates helped them in achieving performance over competence in conducting vaginal delivery in labour room. They could not only perform well in controlled situations but they also performed well on patients.

Published: May 2022

Tele-education gained popularity with emergence of COVID 19 as the best choice of sustaining education. This study investigated the views of learners on a student centric approach, online problem-based learning (OPBL) as a mode of online education for postgraduate physiotherapy students.

A weekly OPBL framework was prepared and implemented. A group of 26 students underwent the weekly session. It included a webinar session, self study period, chat-room discussion and videoconferencing conducted into 3 phases. A self-reported feedback questionnaire was designed to measure the quality of the learning experience.

Learners were able to adapt themselves to OPBL with a positive response for the learning experience.

Integration of OPBL for postgraduate physiotherapy students can be useful and acceptable mode of teaching-learning from students perspective.
Remote assessment strategies in the post-COVID era of blended learning do they have a role?
Authors: Zayapragassarazan Z Zayapragassarazan Z , Bobby Zachariah , Mohapatra Devi Prasad
Published: May 2022

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, students' right to education has been threatened globally, and medical colleges are not an exception to this. During COVID-19 induced lockdown, medical colleges had to resort to online classes instead of regular academic sessions. Medical colleges and other higher education institutions in India faced a challenge in determining on how to engage their students in the learning process and assess them using reliable, effective and acceptable methods. Now that the covid pandemic is nearly over, many medical colleges have already started regular sessions. At the same time, some continue to use online lectures and other tools for engaging their learners in addition to regular classes. Medical colleges also used different online tools for formative assessments. But the effectiveness of such online educational activities is yet to be established in India. This article discusses how unsupervised online tests can be used for formative and summative exams in post-covid medical education.

Objectives: Less than a quarter of Omani infants < 6 months are exclusively breastfed. Therefore, this study aimed to examine individual barriers and supports to exclusive breastfeeding and identify potential policy and programmatic interventions in Oman. Methods: A cross-sectional Barrier Analysis was carried out among a purposive sample of Omani women - 45 “Doers” (who exclusively breastfed their infants) and 52 “Non-Doers” (who do not) – who were selected and interviewed by trained enumerators in health clinics in various parts of the country. A barrier analysis tool, adapted for the Omani context, covered 12 common determinants of behavior adoption using open-ended questions regarding participants’ perceptions about exclusive breastfeeding including positive and negative consequences, self-efficacy and social norms. Qualitative analysis involved coding and tabulating as well as thematic analysis. Results: Mothers report that motivation for exclusive breastfeeding include the perception that it leads to healthier children, is easy, readily available and therefore convenient and that mothers report an elevated level of family support for breastfeeding. Barriers included perceived milk insufficiency and mother’s employment. Conclusion: To achieve the 2025 exclusive breastfeeding target of 50%, public health action should focus on emphasizing the benefits and convenience of exclusive breastfeeding and building women’s confidence in their ability to produce sufficient milk. These efforts will require increasing the knowledge and skills of community and health care workers and establishing monitoring mechanisms. Expanding paid maternity leave and supportive workplace policies are necessary to encourage working women to exclusively breastfeed.

Post-Natal Anti-Retroviral Prophylaxis for Neonates Born to Mothers Living with Resistant HIV Infection
Authors: Al Yazidi Laila S , Britton Philip N , Gilroy Nicole , Lai Tony , Kesson Alison
Published: May 2022

Mother-to-child transmission accounts for the majority of new HIV infections among children worldwide. Post-natal prophylaxis, in addition to other preventive measures, have been very successful in reducing transmission to babies born to mothers living with HIV infection to <2%. Single-drug prophylaxis with zidovudine is the mainstay regimen for infants in low-risk transmission settings. The optimal regimen for newborns of women with anti-retroviral (ARV)-resistant HIV is unknown. We report a baby born to a young mother living with highly resistant perinatally-acquired HIV at a tertiary care centre in Sydney, Australia, in 2018. Furthermore, the challenges with giving postnatal ARV prophylaxis to her baby, in light of the lack of dosing and safety data for many antiretroviral agents for neonates, is discussed. The baby received a combination of lamivudine and raltegravir for a total of six weeks and he was not breast-fed. He had negative HIV proviral DNA polymerase chain reaction at six weeks and three months and a negative HIV serology at 18 months of age.

The Public Policy Dynamics of Increasing Health Insurance Rates in a Developing Country
Authors: Wibawa Fahmi
Published: May 2022

Health insurance plays an important role in the COVID-19 pandemic. As a part of public policy, examining increasing health insurance contributions in developing countries is important to understand the dynamics, formulation processes, pros and cons, and implications for public participation. This study considered the increasing contributions of Indonesia Health Insurance (BPJS) and the findings indicated that the government faces a dilemma. On one side, the income of citizens is relatively diminished due to the restrictions on mobility as a result of the pandemic. On the other side, during the pandemic, health services need to perform well. Considering that health insurance is part of a national social security system, which is a common feature in developing countries, public health costs should be the responsibility of the State. Therefore, the increase in the BPJS Kesehatan rate needs to consider the ability of the citizen, and also ensure a positive impact on improving health services for the citizen.

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), especially in the creative economy sector in Wajo Regency, have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that has lasted for over a year. This study aimed to examine how MSME actors can create a new market space while maintaining valuable buyers and being able to determine prices that can compete with others. Based on this, the research team attempted to uncover a model of an MSME-led recovery strategy for the creative economy sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on woven fabrics. The researchers analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the industry and the opportunities and threats. Descriptive qualitative methods were used. The recovery strategy was evaluated using the five-carrier analysis method and SWOT analysis. According to the Porter’s Five Forces Analysis, the COVID-19 pandemic did not fundamentally impact the entire silk fabric industry in Sengkang, but it did impact people buying the product. In addition, the results showed that artisans aggressively promoted silk fabrics with an emphasis on a market size strategy. The strategic direction provided a competitive advantage to the Sengkang silk industry, especially in the different promotions in the market space.

Challenges of Implementing an Electronic-Based Government System in Local Governments
Authors: Nafi'ah Binti Azizatun
Published: May 2022

Digital transformation is a necessity not an option. Local government is encouraged to develop information technology that generates applications to help overcome the problems of society as part of digital transformation. However, since the release of the presidential decree No. 95/2018, there are still many problems in the application of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). This paper focused on identifying the challenges faced by local governments in implementing SPBE. Qualitative research methods were used. Data were collected through interviews with informants in the local government of Wonogiri and by document analysis. The results indicated that there are still many challenges in implementing SPBE in terms of structure, infrastructure and superstructure. The challenges included regional topography, facilities, infrastructure, human resources, digitization and policies. The most important factor was the existence of regional policies related to the smart city masterplan that supported the digitization of activities that make it easier for the society so that people feel comfortable, safe, and prosperous.

Working From Home Policy for Indonesia's State Civil Apparatus: General Propositions
Authors: Prasetyo Antonius Galih , Sari Maria Dika Puspita
Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the pace of change within the public sector. In Indonesia, one of the most conspicuous transformations can be seen in the introduction of working from home (WFH) practices among public sector employees who are part of the State Civil Apparatus. Before the pandemic, WFH had been proposed as an alternative style of work for the public sector with stipulated requirements as a cue to join the global trend of implementing WFH for employees in the public sector. However, it was only through the pandemic that the vast realization of WFH was done thanks to the health risk factor and the availability of technology. In the absence of comprehensive and official formal evaluation, this paper made use of the findings from previous studies as the basis of evaluating the WFH policy among the State Civil Apparatus. A literature review was conducted and some general propositions regarding WFH policies in the future were developed.

Perceptions of Teachers in Indonesia About Having an Exchange Program with Teachers in China
Authors: Rokhman Ali
Published: May 2022

Teaching is an important profession in a society because it is closely related to the development of a nation’s civilization. Teachers must employ professionalism in their work to prepare the young generation of the nation to be better prepared to face the future. Improving the quality and professionalism of teachers should always be a major concern of the government. One potential program to improve the quality and professionalism of teachers is through an overseas teacher exchange program. This paper discusses the prospect of a teacher exchange cooperation program between the Indonesian Government and the Chinese Government, based on the perspectives of Indonesian teachers. An internet-based survey was carried out to find out whether and why Indonesian teachers are interested in participating in this collaboration program. An interesting finding from this study was that factors related to the teachers’ interest in the program included the school’s background: teachers who came from religious-based schools tended to not accept the teacher exchange program, and have opinions that educational cooperation with the Chinese Government is not necessary.

Published: May 2022

This study aimed to describe the competence of members of the information and technology support team at The Document Processing Center in order to optimize the performance of the team. Performance was analyzed based on competencies consisting of education, skills and motivation. Qualitative research methods were used with a descriptive approach. Data collection was through interviews, observations, document review and triangulation. The results of the study showed that the competence of the team members was already good, even though there was no established formal education or training and most did not have an information technology educational background. They were enthusiastic to learn and gain knowledge or skills from the team leader and fellow members, while they also carried out self-learning for their tasks. Their high motivation was evident from the fast service, which was thanks to skills they had learned. Their motivation could be higher if they receive rewards. The team members should receive a transfer of knowledge from once or twice a month to four times a month. In addition, to be reliable in providing services and anticipating changes in the external environment, The Document Processing Center could be supported by implementing job shadowing, coaching, mentoring, apprenticeships, work rotations, and committee assignments. Rotation policies should be in accordance with the expertise of the staff, such as placing a member of the support team who has an educational background into the information technology team.

Comparative Study of the Adaptive Strategies Used by village-owned enterprises in South Sulawesi During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Sandy Sandy , Kamariah Najmi , Suastina Andi Wa Ode
Published: May 2022

Village-owned enterprises (BUMDes) have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some BUMDes have been able to survive and even thrive in the midst of the pandemic. This study sought to reveal the adaptation strategies carried out by BUMDes in order to survive or even further develop during the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative descriptive methods were used with a comparative approach by conducting interviews and observations on three BUMDes in South Sulawesi Province, namely BUMDes Jaya Mandiri Kab. Soppeng, BUMDes Mattuju Kab. Pangkep, and BUMDes Bonto Sunggumanai Kab. Gowa. The results of the study revealed that the adaptation strategies carried out by each BUMDes were different depending on the type of BUMDes business and the leadership style of the BUMDes director/management. BumDes Jaya Mandiri was able to develop during the pandemic by using a prospector-type strategy, namely conducting business development by reaching all village communities and developing a good credit business. The business strategy carried out by the other two BUMDes was a reactor strategy, which aimed to promote efficiency by reducing costs and resources and developing the business unit in the form of product production. These findings can be used to inform efforts to strengthen the local economy by finding the right strategy for BUMDes.

Published: May 2022

One of the major challenges in crafting research is highlighting the novelty and the contribution of that research. Therefore, understanding what has been studied and the progress made in a particular topic is essential before embarking on a research journey. This study was a bibliometric analysis that aimed to collect and analyze bibliographic data from articles, journals and other publications on the topic of governance in Indonesia. Three applications were used: Public or Perish, VOS viewer and Mendeley. 1000 articles published in academic journals from 2015 to 2020 were collected and reviewed. The findings suggested that topics such as transparency, service and quality have been over-researched. On the contrary, topics such as impact, procedure, organization and good government still offer wider opportunities to be researched. It is recommended that any researchers wanting to study governance in Indonesia consider these under-researched topics.

Collaboration Challenges in Helping the Rural Creative Tourism Sector to Recover During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Kurniasih Denok , Rosyadi Slamet , Sabiq Ahmad , Ahmad Abdul Aziz
Published: May 2022

This research aimed to determine the challenges faced by the rural creative tourism sector in recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the pandemic, this sector was well-developed and provided many contributions to the local economy. However, the pandemic has badly inhibited the development of the rural creative tourism sector. This study used a post-positivist qualitative approach in which the researchers collected the data based on the formulated cross-sector collaboration theory or conceptual framework, which was then reconfirmed. Interviews with several informants consisting of creative tourism actors and regional tourism officials were conducted to identify the challenges in cross-sector collaboration. The research findings showed that cross-sectoral collaboration was required to figure out the impacts of activity restrictions on the local economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, the limited government budget and the absence of appropriate empowerment strategies for rural creative tourism were obstacles faced by the creative tourism sector in trying to recover from the impacts of this pandemic. We can conclude that an effective collaborative strategy model should build on the assets of local village communities and other strategic sectors, such as education, media, technology and business. This could be adaptively performed through local government support and village government policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, by maintaining opportunities to help the creative tourism sector in rural areas to recover.

Authors: Holong Parulian Mickle Mangasa
Published: May 2022

Rukun Tetangga and Rukun Warga are the embodiments of community empowerment in the roles and functions of government administration, development, and community services. In DKI Jakarta Province, a new mechanism for reporting accountability of the implementation of the duties and functions of Rukun Tetangga and Rukun Warga has been applied. However, the community is not well informed about the accountability of the use of money for the implementation of these tasks and functions. The goal of this research was to examine the relationship between the responsibility reporting mechanism and accountability. This study used descriptive qualitative methods. Interviews were conducted with informants who were directly related to the research topic. In addition, community members were given document studies and questionnaires to collect secondary data. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that this program has not run optimally, even with as many as 123 RTs opening RT institutional accounts. A limitation of the program is that not all RTs in Kelurahan Menteng Dalam have taken part. Socialization of application implementation should be implemented.

Bureaucratic reform is obligatory for all government institutions, in central or local government. The eight change areas that are the focus point of bureaucratic reform are: change management, legislation improvement, organizational arrangement and strengthening, management arrangement, apparatus management system improvement, supervision strengthening, performance accountability strengthening, and quality of public services improvement. This research attempted to provide an overview of how the Pinrang Regency Government implemented the 2015–2019 Bureaucratic Reform Roadmap, and the obstacles faced in this implementation, so as to be able to provide recommendations to the Pinrang Regency Government. This research applied the policy program implementation process theory which analyzes the stimulus of a policy, the policy, the programs and the implementation. Through this analysis, some implementation gaps were identified such as: local agencies’ lack of awareness of the urgency of bureaucratic reform; differences of perception about what bureaucratic reform is, why it needs to be accomplished, and how to reform; and incorrect assumptions about bureaucratic reform. To solve these existing problems, it is recommended that the local government of Pinrang Regency conducts a thorough evaluation on the implementation of bureaucratic reform.

Authors: Makmur Rama Fitra
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to determine the quality of public services in the Cleanliness, Security, Order and Health Strengthening Program in the Kelapa Dua subdistrict, in Kebon Jeruk District, West Jakarta Administration City, DKI Jakarta Province. Qualitative research methods were used. The researcher collected the data through interviews, observations, and document review. This study examined five aspects of service quality: physical evidence (tangibles), reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and attention (empathy) for the three areas of strengthening: a) cleanliness, b) security, peace and order, and c) health. The results showed that the general hygiene conditions were quite good; security, peace, and order were good; and health was not good. The cleanliness aspect lacked physical evidence, specifically the lack of more sophisticated equipment for mud dredgers, productive waste management, and reliability aspects, especially in terms of the expertise of officers which still needed to be improved. The condition of security, peace and order needed improvement in terms of the physical evidence, such as sophisticated integrated communication tools, and the reliability of officers. Health conditions also lacked physical evidence, particularly health equipment, medicines, self-isolation facilities for those affected by infectious diseases such as Covid-19, and reliability, because of a lack of medical personnel.

Authors: Budiyanto Budiyanto , Sutrisno Edy , Asropi Asropi
Published: May 2022

A crucial aspect that needs to be considered in handling the COVID-19 pandemic is the process of delivering and receiving infectious materials. The method of packaging and sending infectious materials must conform to the standards and regulations of the transport of dangerous goods to minimize the risk of exposure to the sender, carrier, recipients, the public and the environment. This study aimed to identify inhibiting factors and develop strategies for implementing a safety policy for the delivery and acceptance of COVID-19 infectious materials. Qualitative methods were used and data were collected through interviews, observations, and document review. According to the findings, the rules and guidelines to secure the delivery and acceptance of infectious materials proposed by the World Health Organizaiton, International Air Transportation Association, International Cargo Air Organization and Directorate General of Civil Aviation have still not been implemented effectively. This has been due to several inhibiting factors. It is necessary to develop a strategy in the form of policy recommendations to secure infectious materials, not only during this pandemic but also in normal conditions and in preparation for other outbreaks and pandemics.

Collaborative Governance Pentahelix Model in Building Commerce Institutions for Coffee Agroforestry in West Java
Authors: Nadia Yussi
Published: May 2022

The challenge of implementing the Social Forestry Program is how to involve all stakeholders in the development of the three social forestry management areas, namely: institutional management, forest area management and business management. Doing so would enable the main objectives of the program to be achieved, specifically promoting the sustainability of the forests and prosperous communities. An initial survey was conducted which showed that the leading commodity of social forestry, which is coffee agroforestry, has not had a significant impact on the welfare of farmers. In addition, the related parties in the agroforestry coffee trade system have not been optimally involved in realizing the independence of the Forest Farmer Group (KTH), especially in managing their businesses. This study aimed to identify and analyze these problems, so as to provide alternative solutions in improving the governance of agroforestry coffee businesses in West Java Province, based on the pentahelix model of collaborative governance. The researchers sought to identify the inhibiting and supporting factors of collaboration as well as the role of stakeholders, so that a more effective collaboration model could be formed. This study used qualitative methods with a descriptive participatory approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field reviews and document analysis. According to the findings, to collaborate in establishing governance institutions for the coffee agroforestry trade in West Java, the government is expected to involve the private sector, academia/universities, civil society/NGOs and the mass media. Each stakeholder has a key role in synergizing their duties, functions and authorities. It was identified that the main keys to collaborative governance are effective communication, optimal multi-stakeholder participation and strong leadership. The interaction between the pentahelix stakeholders can be used as a collaborative governance model in building agroforestry coffee business governance institutions in West Java Province, which can then be replicated throughout Indonesia, and become an alternative policy in developing social forestry business management in the future.

The Indonesian Government issued various policies and regulations in relation to the National Economic Recovery Program (PEN) in order to mitigate the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Government spent Rp 695.20T as an additional state expenditure to enhance economic growth. The MSME sector received Rp 123.46T in fiscal support. The South Sulawesi Provincial Government reported that around 65 percent of the IDR one trillion in PEN funds received went to MSMEs, particularly for superior commodities and to encourage exports. Given the large amount of PEN funds diverted to MSMEs in South Sulawesi Province, it is certainly interesting to investigate the impact of PEN provision. Using six indicators from William N. Dunn’s qualitative research, this study examined in depth the evaluation of the PEN MSME policies in South Sulawesi Province. Effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equality, responsiveness, and accuracy were the indicators. According to the findings of our research, the policy was less precise, but the levels of effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equality, and responsiveness were all excellent.
