Addressing Stunting through Comprehensive Strategies for Sustainable Development in 3T Regions

This study explores the challenges in implementing the Accelerated Stunting Reduction Program in Indonesia's 3T regions (frontier, remote, and underdeveloped areas), particularly in Barito Kuala Regency. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that economic constraints, limited healthcare access, cultural beliefs, and low parental awareness are key barriers to effective program implementation. Recommendations include enhancing economic support, improving healthcare accessibility, and employing culturally sensitive communication strategies. The study emphasizes the program’s alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in reducing hunger, improving health, and promoting equality, as essential to achieving long-term sustainable development in these regions.

Empirical Evidence For Sharia Financial Literacy Levels In Muslim Communities: 3T Region, Sorong, Southwest Papua

Financial inclusion is positively correlated with public financial literacy, according previous literatures. National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion explained that Sorong City, as one of Indonesia's 3T (Underprivileged, Frontier, and Outermost) regions, has very low sharia financial literacy, this could hinder the expansion of local sharia financial institutions. This research aims to evaluate the level of sharia financial literacy level by evaluating 5 aspects: fundamental understanding of sharia finance (FUSF), sharia insurance (SI), sharia capital market investment (ICM), sharia savings and financing (SFS), and sharia financial ethics (SFE). 100 Muslims of working age that take part in sharia financial inclusion meet the sample criteria. By using descriptive statistical analysis, the result of overall avarage score is 67%, indicates that the Muslim community in Sorong has a medium level (60-79%) sharia financial literacy, according to Chen and Volpe (1988) model. A closer look results that the medium level of literacy for the FUSF, SFS, and SFE aspects by 60%, 64%, and 73%, respectively; the high level is SI aspect by 81%, and the low level is ICM aspect by 59%. This explains why achieving sustainability in sharia financial industry still requires significant efforts to create highly financially literate society.

Leveraging Enterprise Architecture to Empower KOMINFO's Business Core Operations: A PMO Perspective

The Sky Bridge (Tol Langit) Program is an Indonesian government’s strategic project aimed at digital transformation in the 3T regions (Tertinggal, Terdepan, Terluar - Underdeveloped, Frontline, Outermost). It requires thorough planning and integrated management for its implementation. A specialized unit with a helicopter view perspective is needed to ensure and oversee the alignment of processes. This important role is managed by the Project Management Office (PMO). One of the challenges PMO faces in ensuring an end-to-end process alignment is identifying the appropriate digital resources to support the process. This is where the Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework plays a crucial role as a blueprint for the organization's digital landscape. This reference helps map out existing data, applications, and business processes. Having this blueprint allows PMO to have a holistic view and make targeted decisions. EA also helps identify existing applications that can be integrated with new programs, avoiding unnecessary duplication. The use of ArchiMate, a language for enterprise architecture modeling, assists PMOs in planning digital transformations considering all aspects - business needs, applications, and technology. In short, a well-defined EA framework empowers PMOs to navigate the complexities of digital transformation in the telecommunications sector to ensure the successful implementation of the Sky Bridge Program.

A systematic decision-making approach to optimizing microgrid energy sources in rural areas through diesel generator operation and techno-economic analysis: A case study of Baron Technopark in Indonesia

Microgrid systems are part of the most reliable energy supply technologies for rural communities that do not have access to electricity but the system is generally dominated by diesel generators (DG). The implementation of de-dieselization programs to ensure efficient diesel operations requires addressing several scenarios such as the replacement of diesel completely with 100% renewable energy sources at a significant cost. The design and selection of appropriate configuration, as well as operating patterns, need to be considered in adopting economical and reliable microgrid systems. Therefore, this study aimed to design an optimal configuration and operational pattern for microgrid systems for the frontier, outermost, and least developed (3T) regions using Baron Techno Park (BTP) in Indonesia as a case study. The optimization was conducted through HOMER software combined with benefit-cost analysis and the focus was on daily load variations, selection of control algorithms, reconfiguration of the power supply system, and setting of the diesel generator operating hours. The results showed that the optimum configuration was achieved using loads of resort, 24 kWp of PV, 288 kWh of BESS, load-following (LF) as dispatch controller, and 25 kVa of DG. Moreover, the proposed microgrid system produced 12% excess energy, 36% renewable fraction (RF), 13.25 tons reduction in CO2 emissions per year, $0.28 LCOE per kWh, $250,478 NPC, and a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 0.89. It also had a potential energy efficiency savings of 55.56% and a cost efficiency of 20.95% compared to existing system configurations. In conclusion, the study showed that the addition of DG to microgrid systems in 3T areas was more optimal than using only PV and batteries. An effective operating schedule for the DG was also necessary to improve RF and reduce expenses. Furthermore, other energy storage devices considered less expensive than batteries could be introduced to improve the economics of microgrid systems in the 3T region.

The Influence of Project-Based Learning Models to Increase Student Motivation and Learning Outcomes In Digital Simulation And Communication Subjects In the 3T Region at Vocational School Negeri 4 Talaud

The background of this research is that learning is still focused on the teacher. During the ongoing learning process in the classroom, it can be seen that students are not participating enough in learning because students only accept and are passive. There were only a few students who seemed to pay attention to the explanation and respond to questions from the teacher, while some other students were less enthusiastic, less attentive, and interested in following the learning process. This research aims to determine the effect of project-based learning, as well as determine the increase in student motivation and learning outcomes through the application of the project-based learning model. The method used in this research is a quantitative method of the Quasy Experiment type with the Static Group Comparison research design. The population in this study were all class X students at SMK Negeri 4 Talaud. Sampling used the Purposive Sampling technique. Class X Accounting is the experimental class and Class X TITL is the control class. Research data on students' Digital Simulation and Communication learning outcomes was obtained from the final test. Based on the analysis of the research data, it is known that the final test of Digital Simulation learning outcomes was calculated using the t-test with the result t count>ttable (2,731 > 22, which means that H0 was rejected at the α = 0.05 level. So from these results, it can be concluded that rejects H0 and accepts H1. So it can be concluded that the effect of using project-based learning on students' Digital Simulation and Communication learning outcomes is better than students who take conventional learning.

Mobile Medical Teams are Often Over-Qualified.

Emergency department (ED) staff in Belgium is simultaneously involved in patient care in the ED and in prehospital interventions as part of a Mobile Medical Team (MMT) or a Paramedic Intervention Team (PIT). There is a growing concern that the MMT is often over-qualified for the prehospital interventions they are dispatched to, while their absence from the ED results in insufficient human resources there. The current study aims to investigate whether this perception is correct in the EDs of two different regions, while also examining the differences between a two-tiered (2T) and a three-tiered (3T) Emergency Medical Services (EMS) region. A specially developed and pre-tested registration form was completed by physicians and nurses before and after each MMT intervention. The form included information on the composition of the MMT, the perceived need for MMT intervention pre-departure from the ED, the subjective appreciation of the need for the MMT after an intervention, and the therapeutic intervention(s) performed, in order to obtain a more objective appreciation of the actual need for an MMT. Data from a 2T and a 3T region were analyzed to rate the appropriateness of the interventions. Although the 2T and 3T regions showed differences regarding MMT composition, dispatching, and logistics, the outcome of the study was identical in both regions. Before the intervention, physicians and nurses estimated that the MMT intervention would not be necessary in 37.7% of cases. However, following the intervention, it was subjectively deemed unnecessary in 65.7% of cases. Based on therapeutic interventions performed, the MMT was viewed as being over-qualified for carrying these out in 85.6% of cases. Post-intervention, the initial prediction that the MMT was over-qualified for the call was confirmed by the same physicians and nurses in 87.6% of cases, whilst their prediction was correct in 92.8% of cases in terms of the intervention that was carried out. In two different Belgian regions, the MMT is over-qualified in a vast majority of interventions. Physicians and nurses within the MMT can generally already predict that the MMT is over-qualified when leaving the ED. These findings suggest that there may be significant opportunities to improve the efficacy of human resources in the ED once there are less interventions carried out by an over-qualified MMT.

Ehealth Literacy in Improving Rural Community Health Services in Indonesia

The Ministry of Health has designed the TEMENIN (Telemedicine Indonesia) application since 2017 for health workers in all regions of Indonesia.The use of TEMENIN is expected to accelerate patient health services, not only during the COVID-19 pandemic but also in other health services. For this reason, human resources for health workers who can adopt e health are needed. However, because of its implementation, there are still some areas for improvement in the TEMENIN application. The Indonesian Ministry of Health issued the KOMEN 2.0 application (Online Medical Consultation) as an update from TEMENIN. This study aims to identify and find out the activities of various e-health-based communication platforms used to improve the quality of health in Indonesia, especially the use of the KOMEN Application. The theories and concepts used in this research are the theory of Diffusion of Innovation, health communication, and telehealth literacy.The method used is descriptive qualitative by conducting in-depth interviews with the parties involved in using the KOMEN application in the Indonesian region, observing and studying the literature. The validity of the research uses source triangulation. Based on the research results, the activity of using the KOMEN application is still not optimal. This is because only some health workers have the same e-health literacy regarding the same KOMEN application, and the availability of infrastructure still needs to support the maximum use of KOMEN, especially in the 3T region in Indonesia.

ANALISIS k-MEDOIDS DENGAN VALIDASI INDEKS PADA IPM DAERAH 3T DI INDONESIA

Human development is a development paradigm that places humans as the main target of all development activities, namely controling over resources, improving health and improving education. The Human Development Index (HDI) in Indonesia varies in each district, especially in the 3T areas. The 3T area is an area that is classified as underdeveloped, remote and outermost in terms of economy, health, education and infrastructure. The k-Medoids method is a partitional clustering method for grouping several objects into clusters. This clustering algorithm uses the medoid as the center of the cluster, so it is robust to data containing outliers. This study aims to classify the 3T regions in Indonesia based on the Human Development Index to find out which areas require more attention from the government in optimizing the Human Development Index numbers. The size of object similarity is calculated by using the Euclidean distance and Manhattan distance, for the selection of the best number of clusters, internal cluster validation, such as Calinski – Harabasz index, Gamma Index, and Silhouette index. The result of this study showed that the best cluster were four by using Euclidean distance measurement, having Calinski – Harabasz index score of 37.15764, Gamma index score of 0.7821181, and Silhouette index score of 0.3354435.

Affirmation Education Program: Bridging the Gap between Inclusion and Integration for Migrant Students

Migrant students face unique challenges and obstacles in their educational journey, particularly in terms of social support and overall well-being. This study aims to examine the relationship between social support and the well-being of migrant students participating in the Affirmation of Education Program (ADik) in Papua and the 3T Regions. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from a sample of 34 active students through surveys and in-depth interviews. The study employed non-probability sampling, ensuring equal opportunity for 66 eligible students. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS, and the instrument's reliability and validity were established through pretesting. The results indicated that migrant students' well-being scores were particularly low in the area of mental well-being. Regression tests revealed that emotional support, network support, and informational support significantly influenced student well-being, while reward support and instrumental support showed no effect. Additionally, the network of religious groups and student diversity were found to play a role in determining student welfare. These findings underscore the importance of social support interventions targeting emotional support, networking, and information to enhance the well-being of migrant students in the ADik program in Papua and the 3T regions. Future programs and policies should prioritize the development of these aspects to improve the overall welfare of migrant students. This study contributes to our understanding of the challenges faced by migrant students and emphasizes the need for inclusive educational initiatives that address their social support needs and promote their well-being

Optimalisasi UMKM di Kepulauan Mentawai Melalui Marketplace dan Digitalisasi Logistik

Economic growth in West Sumatra's Mentawai Islands is relatively undeveloped due to geographical conditions and human resource capacity. The status as a 3T region (Disadvantaged, Frontier, Outermost) inhibits Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) growth. Despite MSMEs being economic pillars that stimulate regional development, their progress remains slow. To counter this, our study proposes "Bulagat", an integrated marketplace with digital logistics aimed at enhancing economic and MSMEs growth in the Mentawai Islands. Bulagat will streamline MSME product distribution, broaden market reach, and boost income. Constructed using the Waterfall Model, Bulagat facilitates transactions between MSMEs and customers on an easy-to-use platform. The integration of logistics digitization aims to improve delivery safety and efficiency, thereby expanding MSMEs product reach in the Mentawai Islands. A tracking feature ensures successful delivery. The study suggests Bulagat has the potential to be an efficient tech solution supporting MSMEs product sales in Mentawai, overcoming geographical barriers, and strengthening the local economy and community welfare. This application aims to mitigate MSMEs challenges, drive economic growth, and enhance local community welfare.

The Role of the Government to Improve Financial Literacy in Efforts to Prevent the Use of Illegal Online Loans

Financial technology (Fintech) is a technological innovation developed in the financial sector so that financial transactions can be carried out practically, easily, and effectively. The progress of fintech in the field of money lending services has given rise to many applications/services based on peer-to-peer lending or online loans (pinjol). Based on the National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion conducted by OJK in 2019, the financial literacy index reached 38.03%. However, 21 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia still have financial literacy levels below the average, with the lowest 3 provinces being: 1) East Nusa Tenggara (27.82%); 2) West Papua (28.87%); and 3) Papua (29.13%). Besides that there is a very high inequality when compared to the province which has the highest level of financial literacy, namely Jakarta (59.16%). NTT is also included as one of Indonesia’s 3T regions (the outermost, the frontmost, and the lagging). This study aims to examine efforts to increase financial literacy and its relation to online lending trends in East Nusa Tenggara. The study used qualitative methods, with data collection sourced from interviews, observations, and literature studies. Based on the research results, OJK has made efforts to improve financial literacy as well as to eradicate illegal online loans, which have been carried out in a planned, measurable, achievement-oriented, sustainable, and collaborative manner, one of which is demonstrated or manifested in the implementation of the Regional Investment Alert Task Force (SWID). However, the implementation of improving financial literacy needs to be continued and improved, especially in terms of the number of activities, socialization of activities that have been implemented, and improving coordination with other stakeholders.
