Authors: Firdaus Samuel Evan , Maulana Precious Douglas
Published: January 2025

Background: Stunting is a serious public health problem in Indonesia, especially in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, which has a high prevalence. Based on the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI), there are 15 districts in NTT with stunting rates of more than 30%, even in South Central Timor and North Central Timor Regencies, the prevalence reaches more than 46%. The main factors contributing to stunting include malnutrition, poor sanitation, and consanguineous marriage practices. Methods: This study uses a literature review approach by applying the Social Ecological Model (SEM) to analyze risk factors and intervention strategies. The data used include empirical studies and policies related to stunting in NTT. Findings: The analysis shows that poor sanitation, such as access to clean drinking water which only reaches 86.79% and access to proper sanitation of 73.7%, is correlated with high stunting rates. Data also show that low milk consumption, with an average consumption of only 30 kilocalories per capita per day in Southeast Asia, contributes to the high prevalence of stunting of 31%. In addition, maternal education levels and the practice of washing hands with soap after feeding children are significantly associated with stunting. Social assistance programs such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) have reached 64% of beneficiaries but have not been effective in reducing stunting rates because there is still inaccuracy in targeting recipients. Conclusion: Accelerating stunting reduction in NTT requires a multi-sectoral approach involving improving sanitation infrastructure, increasing access to nutrition, health education, and optimizing social assistance programs. Monitoring and evaluation of policy implementation need to be improved to ensure the effectiveness of the interventions carried out. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the relationship between environmental factors, cultural practices, and policy effectiveness in accelerating stunting reduction in NTT. The SEM approach used offers a holistic perspective in understanding the complexity of the problem and designing more effective intervention strategies.

Published: January 2025

Yapı üretimi, planlama, tasarım, yapım ve kullanım aşamalarından oluşan bir süreçler bütünüdür. Yapı üretim sürecinin her bir aşamasının ayrı bir öneme sahip olmasına karşın yapının üretim eyleminin gerçekleştirildiği “kaba yapının üretilmesi- ince yapı ve iç mekân düzenlenmesi- donatılması” olmak üzere alt evreleri olan “yapım aşaması” ayrı bir öneme sahiptir. Çünkü yapım aşaması, planlama ve tasarım aşamalarının tamamlanması ile yapının tasarıma uygun şekilde üretildiği yapı üretim sürecinin en uzun soluklu ve tamamlandığında tüm süreçlerin ortak çıktısı olan ürünün ortaya çıktığı aşamadır. Kaba yapı üretimi ise, disiplinler arası çalışma gerektiren aynı zamanda yönetsel açıdan da takip edilmesi gereken ve sonraki süreçleri etkileme potansiyeli oldukça yüksek olan yapım aşamasının en uzun soluklu alt evresidir. Çalışma bu sebeple, yapım aşamasının kaba yapı üretimi esnasında karşılaşılan sorunlar çerçevesi ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Yapım aşaması boyunca, yapım sistemine bağlı olarak insan, malzeme, teknik gibi birçok farklı sebepten dolayı çeşitli sorunlar ile karşılaşılabilmektedir. Karşılaşılan sorunlara uygun zamanda müdahale edilmediği takdirde uygulamanın sonraki süreçleri etkilenebilmekte ve zaman- maliyet kayıpları yaşanabilmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında analiz- değerlendirme ve uygulama olmak üzere üç aşamadan oluşan bir model oluşturularak ve kaba yapı üretimi esnasında karşılaşılan sorunlara, 8D metodolojisi yardımı ile çözüm bulunmaya çalışılarak, kayıpların önüne geçebilmek ve üretimin daha sistemli şekilde devam edebilmesini sağlayabilmek amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada 8D metodolojisinin tercih edilmesinin nedeni, karşılaşılan sorunlara geçici çözüm bulunurken, ortaya çıkartılan kök nedenler sayesinde problemin bir daha ortaya çıkmasının önüne geçilebiliyor olmasıdır. Analiz aşamasında kaba yapı üretimi aşamasında olan bir inşaatta karşılaşılan zincirleme hata dizisine sebep olabilecek sorunlar yapılan görüşme ve gözlemler sonucunda belirlenmiştir. Değerlendirme aşamasında, yapılan gözlemler sonucunda belirlenen sorunlardan “kalıp söküldüğünde karşılaşılan yapısal ve görsel sorunlar” metodoloji kapsamında problem olarak belirlenerek problemin çözümü için 8D metodolojisi kullanım kararı verilmiştir. Uygulama aşamasında ise, metodoloji kapsamında belirlenen problemin sonucunda kalıplar söküldükten sonra ortaya çıkan “petek dokusu sorununun”, “teknik detaylara dikkat edilmeden hazırlanan kalıplar, uygun olmayan malzeme ve yerleştirme teknikleri” sebebiyle ortaya çıktığı belirlenmiştir. 8D metodolojisinin mimarlık ve yapı bilimlerindeki kullanımına dair olarak ilk örnek olması açısından çalışma 8D metodolojisinin özel üretim gerçekleştiren tesislerde karşılaşılan sorunların çözümü için de tercih edilebileceğini açıkça göstermektedir.

Academic motivation is crucial for successful educational outcomes. This qualitative study explores the strategies employed by successful students to enhance their academic motivation, aiming to identify the mechanisms behind their success and provide actionable insights for educators and learners alike. The study employed a qualitative research design with data collected through semi-structured interviews. A total of 25 academically successful students from various disciplines participated in the study. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using NVivo software to facilitate thematic analysis, aiming for theoretical saturation. Five main themes were identified as central to enhancing academic motivation: Time Management, Learning Strategies, Motivational Drivers, Support Systems, and Coping Mechanisms. Each theme encompassed multiple categories with specific concepts: Time Management included prioritization, routine building, break management, and procrastination avoidance. Learning Strategies covered active learning, resource utilization, and conceptual understanding. Motivational Drivers were characterized by personal goals, external encouragement, intrinsic motivation, and achievement recognition. Support Systems involved academic support, emotional support, institutional support, and online communities. Coping Mechanisms included stress management, reflection and adaptation, and resilience building. The study concludes that successful academic motivation is influenced by a combination of well-developed time management skills, active and resourceful learning strategies, strong motivational drivers, robust support systems, and effective coping mechanisms. These factors collectively contribute to the academic success of students.

Authors: Jeffery Diana , Nouhi Nilofar
Published: January 2025

This study aims to investigate the relationships between work engagement, grit, and zest for life among working adults. Specifically, it examines how grit and zest for life predict work engagement, providing insights into the psychological traits that foster employee motivation and productivity. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 153 participants selected based on the Morgan and Krejcie table. Data were collected using three standardized tools: the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) for measuring work engagement, the Grit Scale (Grit-O) for assessing grit, and the Zest for Life subscale from the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS). Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to examine relationships between variables, and linear regression analysis was used to determine the predictive power of grit and zest for life on work engagement. Analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics version 27. Descriptive statistics indicated moderate to high levels of work engagement (M = 4.52, SD = 1.12), grit (M = 3.84, SD = 0.76), and zest for life (M = 4.11, SD = 0.89). Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between work engagement and grit (r = 0.62, p < .001) and zest for life (r = 0.58, p < .001). Regression analysis showed that grit (B = 0.45, p < .001) and zest for life (B = 0.39, p < .001) significantly predict work engagement, explaining 53% of its variance (R² = 0.53, F(2, 150) = 83.56, p < .001). The study demonstrates that both grit and zest for life are significant predictors of work engagement. These findings suggest that fostering perseverance and enthusiasm among employees can significantly enhance their engagement at work. The results have practical implications for organizational leaders and HR practitioners aiming to improve employee motivation and productivity.

Composition Schemes of Erebuni Wall Paintings (Based on Preserved Fragments)
Authors: Погосян Г.Р.
Published: January 2025

В статье предлагается новый взгляд на некоторые реставрационные решения художественных композиций в монументальной живописи Эребуни. Настенные росписи Эребуни были отреставрированы и представлены в монографии архитектора и археолога К. Оганесяна «Росписи Эребуни». Оганесяном и его командой была проделана огромная работа по очистке и сохранению найденных остатков урартской живописи. Однако в ходе изучения некоторых фрагментов из архитектурного комплекса Эребуни нами было выявлено, что отдельные реставрированные композиции не соответствуют художественным канонам и религиозным представлениям в изобразительном искусстве Ванского царства Урарту (IX–VI вв. до н.э.). Анализ художественных композиций настенных росписей выполнен на основе нескольких фрагментов, найденных в результате археологических раскопок у внешнего портика и храма верховного бога Халди в Эребуни. В результате проведенного анализа реконструкция настенных росписей кажется нам неубедительной. Тема актуальна, так как ранее эти фрески не подвергались тщательному искусствоведческому анализу, и эта статья — лишь попытка представить урартские монументальные композиции с новой точки зрения.

The article provides a new look at some restoration solutions for artistic compositions in the monumental paintings of Erebuni. The wall paintings of Erebuni were restored and discussed in the monograph “Wall paintings of Erebuni” by the architect and archaeologist K. Hovhannisyan. Hovhannisyan and his team did a great job of cleaning and preserving the Urartian wall paintings found there. After studying some fragments from the architectural complex of Erebuni, we discovered that some of the restored compositions do not correspond to the artistic canons and religious ideas in the fine art of the Kingdom of Van (Urartu, 9th–6th c. BC). Within the framework of this study, the artistic compositions of the wall paintings are analyzed on several fragments found as a result of archaeological excavations near the outer portico and the temple of the supreme god Haldi at Erebuni. As a result of the analysis, the reconstruction of the wall paintings seems unconvincing to us. The topic is pertinent, as previously these paintings were not subjected to a thorough examination by art historians, and the purpose of this article is to introduce the Urartian wall painting compositions from a new point of view.
