Integrating ethnomathematics and ethnomodeling in Institutionalization of school mathematics concepts: A study of fishermen community activities

While previous studies have extensively explored ethnomathematics, the relationship between ethnomathematics and ethnomodeling remains underexamined. This study investigates the connections between ethnomathematics and ethnomodeling and their implications for the institutionalization of mathematics in the context of traditional fish auction activities within the Fishermen's Community in Indramayu, Indonesia. Utilizing an ethnographic design, the study involved participants in various auction roles, including auctioneers, boat owners, captains, crew members, and traders. Data were collected through interviews and observations and analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that ethnomathematical practices are evident in sorting and grading fish, as well as in auction transactions, with connections to mathematical concepts such as set theory, basic statistics, social arithmetic, and arithmetic operations within an ethnomodeling framework. These results suggest that the integration of ethnomathematics and ethnomodeling into the school curriculum could support the institutionalization of mathematics education and provide a foundation for developing instructional materials based on these practices in the context of traditional fish auctions.

Implementasi Sistem Bagi Hasil (Paron) antara Nelayan dan Pemilik Bagan di Kelurahan Kolo Bima dalam Perspektif Syariah

The fishermen still face numerous challenges in implementing the Islamic profit-sharing system. The urgency of this research is crucial, as the implementation of this profit-sharing system ensures that the agreed-upon plans between the fishermen and the boat owners have either negative or positive impacts on the agreed-upon profit-sharing system. Most fishermen are dissatisfied with the profit outcomes that do not align with the initially agreed-upon terms. The research methodology employed in this study is phenomenology, a method that utilizes life experiences as a tool to better understand the socio-cultural, political, or historical context in which those experiences occur. This research will discuss a subject by understanding the core experiences of a phenomenon that takes place. Additionally, supplementary data such as documentation and others regarding the implementation of the profit-sharing system between boat owners and fishermen will be included. The research is conducted in the village of Kolo, Asakota Bima District. The location is situated in the coastal area, serving as the fish landing base for the fishermen. Moreover, the presence of boat owners is in close proximity to the fishermen, sharing the same location. The profit-sharing system between boat owners and fishermen in the community of Kolo, Asakota Bima District, is carried out through the paron system or the two-share system. This means that the expenses for vessel management, such as engines and nets, are borne by the boat owner, while the crew's wages are covered by the fishermen. The resulting profits are then divided, with one part going to the capital owner and the other to the fishermen, commonly known as a 1/2 sharing ratio.

A model of service-oriented architecture of e-certification system to support boat registration and site visit inspection to support maritime safety and crew health inspection

AbstractThis article describes the architecture of software services that provide registration of small boat data to build maritime safety. The proposed system architecture which so-called SIMKAPEL aims to support small boat registration for maritime safety. It is developed from a conventional service-oriented architecture (SOA) with an open standard for data interoperability between elements. The goal of this research is to implement and evaluate the proposed architecture to support small boat registration and e-certification. Several parts of the architecture have been implemented as a platform that provides core services and data sources to be used by Ministry of Transportation, Directorate General of Sea Transportation, and other government agencies. Finally, the proposed SIMKAPEL platform with the SOA architecture is evaluated for its benefits to users through the expert opinion survey to measure its efficiency. The analysis results showed that SOA-based SIMKAPEL is feasible to use as a boat e-certification system. Furthermore, experiment results provide three parameters (e.g., maritime safety, namely, cargo/passengers, boat safety facilities, and maritime safety systems) with efficiency values of 42%, 46%, and 42%, respectively. The parameter with the highest efficiency shows a big effect on the level of safety of the boat and passengers. Thus, the parameters that need to be prioritized and need boat owners’ attention are cargo/passenger, boat safety equipment, and maritime safety system.

Foça'da (Doğu Akdeniz, Türkiye) Trol Balıkçılığı Çöküşün Eşiğinde mi?

In this study, we aimed to examine the status and historical change of trawl fishing fleet in the Foça in the Aegean Sea. The data of the study representing all actively working trawlers in 1998-1999 and 2019 were collected through face-to-face interviews with trawler boat owners in Foca. The questionnaire consisted of questions related to the characteristics of the vessels, fishing activity, socio-demographics of fishers, running costs, annual landings of species and management issues. The study indicated that the annual landings of the main target species significantly decreased over the last two decades. Fishers reported the landings of some species including Dentex gibbosus, Dentex macrophthalmus, Homarus gammarus, Mustelus mustelus, Octopus vulgaris, Parapenaus longirostris, Scomber colias, Scorpaena porcus, Scorpaena scrofa, Spicara smaris, Trachurus spp. and Zeus faber decreased considerably over this period. Over the same period, a decrease was found in the mean length of Merluccius merluccius, Lophius piscatorius and Zeus faber. The vessels’ fuel tank volume and tow duration showed significant increases from 1999 to 2019. The trawl fleet decreased by ~75% from 1999 to 2019 and 55% of the current fishers reported that they may leave the fishery sector within the next 10 years. A change was also determined in the tradition of the sharing system, which is the number of crews paid in shares rather than a fixed salary, significantly decreased. Moreover, the crew numbers from vessel owners’ households significantly decreased. As a result, we discussed the changes, problems, regulations and restrictions related to trawl fishery in Foça, which used to be the most important trawling fishing center of the Aegean twenty years ago. We found dramatic changes in many aspects compared to what it was two decades ago and provided suggestions regarding fisheries management.

Nahdlatul Ulama's Kyai Patronism and the Conservation of Marine Ecosystems in Mitigating Destructive Fishing

This article examines the role of the NU kyais as patrons of social change in coastal communities in preserving the Lamongan marine ecosystem through the Bahtsul Masail decision regarding preventing and prohibiting destructive fishing. The research method used in this study is qualitative descriptive research that uses observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as data collection methods. The research study results in this article show that the patrons of the NU kyais play a significant role in making social changes to the Lamongan coastal community through the green fatwas they make. The role of the NU kyais in social change and environmental preservation is expressed through a green fatwa regarding the preservation of marine ecosystems by prohibiting destructive fishing gear. The NU kyais, considered authoritative patrons of the Lamongan coastal community, base their social construction on priority fiqh considerations by prioritizing public and long-term benefits rather than short-term specific benefits. According to the NU kyais, conserving marine ecosystems by prohibiting destructive fishing gear is a general and long-term benefit that must be prioritized rather than the welfare of a handful of fishing boat owners using destructive gear.

Irrawaddy dolphin in Asia's largest brackish water lagoon: A perspective from SWOT and sentiment analysis for sustainable ecotourism

Chilika, the largest brackish water lagoon in Asia, is a habitat of the Irrawaddy Dolphin (IRD) and a popular tourist destination for dolphin watching. However, this dolphin-based tourism has turned unsustainable due to the adverse impacts of tourism on IRD. This study uses SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) to analyze various internal and external factors that control IRD-based tourism in Chilika. Content analysis and sentiment analysis are also used to know the tourists' views regarding dolphin tourism in Chilika lagoon, and telephonic interviews with boat owners to determine the impact of tourism on local communities before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. SWOT analysis highlights existing opportunities and strengths of IRD tourism in Chilika, such as prevalent ‘positive’ perception (48%) among the tourists and stable IRD population. 38% of tourists' perceptions were ‘negative,’ corroborating inherent weaknesses and threats of IRD tourism, such as faulty marketing strategy, excessive tourist pressure, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Interviews with boat operators reveal that the pandemic lockdown laid the financial situation of local tourist boat operators down. This study suggests multipronged solution approaches, for example ensuring the integrity of IRD habitat, optimal resource utilization, high service quality, and necessary infrastructure development to facilitate a sustainable ecotourism model in the lagoon.

FISHERMAN EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM IN TALAUD ISLANDS

<em>Talaud Islands Regency is a regency in the province of North Sulawesi located on the border of Indonesia and the Philippines. This area has enormous fisheries potential, characterized by high illegal fishing activities by foreign fishermen in the region. Most of the fish sold in the central fish market in General Santos (Philippines) comes from these islands. The government has implemented various special stimulus programs to empower traditional fishermen, but the poverty rate of fishermen in the region has not changed significantly. The study was conducted in two stages. The first stage is to try to find the right methods to empower fishermen in the region so that they have better socioeconomic skills. The second stage is to implement an empowerment model that will make the socio-economic quality of targeted traditional fishermen will increase. The results of the study found that the cause of significant changes in the quality of social and economic life of fishermen (small fishing), rooted in the power of nepotism in the implementation of the policy. Fishermen empowerment policies in the form of fresh financial assistance and marine infrastructure, are given to the wrong targets. Assistance is not given to small fishing groups but established fishing individuals (boat owners "pajeko"), or in other communities (artisans and farmers) who do not work as fishermen. In conclusion, it is urgently needed to change the behavior of decision makers, especially those responsible for improving the quality of life of small fishermen.</em>

Blue boats in deep waters: how aspects of IUU policy impact Vietnamese fish workers.

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) polices in the Asia-Pacific region are impacting Vietnamese blue boats. We examine several aspects of IUU policy, including the effects of hardening marine borders in the Southeast Asian region and the increased surveillance of Vietnamese blue boats, to understand how such policies impact blue boat owners, captains, and workers. We find that under increased surveillance, fishers face greater precarity as they become subject to the legal and political actions of multiple states. When blue boats are caught outside Vietnamese waters, boat owners, captains, and workers face significant, albeit differentiated, livelihood challenges. We argue that policies designed to stop IUU or unsustainable fishing should also proactively address working conditions on blue boats; if not, policies may unwittingly cause problems for those directly involved in the industry, with hired workers facing particular hardships. For these reasons, Vietnam's IUU yellow card can also be seen as an opportunity for fisheries labor reforms.

Resilience of Fisherman In Industry Development Ikan Asap Households In Bengkulu, Indonesia

One of the productive economic growth sectors that serves as the foundation for Bengkulu Province's coastal development program is the development of fishermen's businesses through the home industry. The goal of this study was to investigate the features of the Ikan Asap home industry as well as to examine the resilience of fishermen in the Ikan Asap home industry in Bengkulu Province. The descriptive analysis method is used in the investigation. From the last 5 (years), precisely from 2018 to 2022, the innovation has been tested using the publish or perish application. Then VOSviewer is used to visualize bibliographies or data sets in order to identify themes that still have research opportunities. The study's findings indicate the peculiarities of the Ikan Asap home industry for fishermen, both boat owners and crew members. The primary element in the Ikan Asap industry is fresh fish, but fish that are not sold fresh are occasionally used as raw materials. The equipment used is still basic and privately owned. Because the level of marine Ikan Asap production is relatively low, namely an average of 10 kg per production, capital availability is an impediment, and Ikan Asap production is sold to the market and collectors. On the market, sell. The level of resilience of fishermen in the growth of home industries for the production aspect is 17.13 in the weak category, 16.75 in the weak category, and 6.44 on average for capital or credit institutions. Category is lacking. In the medium group, the average level of resilience in terms of market institutions is 7.88. Fishermen in extension institutions have a medium level of resilience, with an average of 7.66.

About striped venus clam (Chamelea gallina) fisheries in the Black Sea: Management and economic aspects

Chamelea gallina has an important role in Turkey and the Black Sea fisheries. This study aimed to determine the structure of management and socio-economic situation of the Chamelea gallina fisheries The socio-economic evaluation of 27 vessel owners revealed that all of them had a family from a fisheries background, and they had an average professional experience of 24.3 years. The average gross annual production value of the boats was found as 123,214 US$/boat. The average gross annual profit of the boat owners was calculated as 58,552 US$/boat, while the average annual net profit was 43,289 US$/boat. It was found that the return on investment (ROI) was 21%, financial profitability was 21.4%, and the turnover rate of the investment was 59.8%. The boat size and engine power were not effective on the income of the boat owners. A positive correlation was observed between the number of days in the sea and fisheries income (p<0.05). Some boats could make losses without tax-free fuel subsidies independent from the total catch amount of the fishing fleet. An increase in the number of fishing boats would decrease the average income per boat. This situation could increase the pressure on the resources.

Resiliency of Fisherfolks on Safety Measures in the Municipality of Balatan, Camarines Sur Philippines

The promotion of sustainable shipping and sustainable maritime development is one of the major priorities of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in the coming years.1 Safety measures for fisherfolk are essential prior to and during fishing to prevent any accident or emergency at sea. Fisherfolk and fishing boat owners should follow government rules and regulations such as BFAR Republic Act No. 8550, also known as “The Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998” under Section 1, which is an act providing for the development, management, and conservation of the fisheries and aquatic resources, integrating all laws pertinent thereto, and other purposes.2 One way to improve safety measures for small fisherfolk is to develop regulations to be followed by all fishing boats before and after fishing. Safety of life at sea (SOLAS) is equally important among fisherfolk. The lives of fishermen are at stake every time a typhoon occurs. Their primary source of living is halted due to inclement weather. Especially when typhoons Rolly and Ulysses hit the Philippines in 2020, leaving at least 20 people dead and its wake displacing 89,000 citizens in Albay and affecting almost two million people across 26 provinces in the island of Luzon, including Camarines Sur. The Bicol Region bore the brunt of the typhoon’s violent winds and torrential rains, blowing away roofs, toppling structures, and causing severe flooding and landslides, which impacted the fishermen of Balatan, Camarines Sur (Balaan, 2021)3.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) small fishing vessels at Jayanti Fishing Port Indonesia

Fishermen are one of the jobs that have high risk and danger. Data from The National Transportation Safety Committee shows the number of ship accidents in Indonesia from 2013 to 2021 was 124, including sinking, collision, overturning, burning, and running aground. This paper is conducted to analyze the accident occur in Jayanti Fishing Port and formulate mitigation strategies to reduce fishermen's work accidents at Jayanti Fishing Port. The research uses a purposive sampling method for fishermen, boat owners, and fishing port officers analyzed using content analysis. The result indicated that fishermen have good fishing competencies but lack safety gear and equipment. The strategy for increasing fisherman safety is by providing fishermen's work safety equipment and increasing fishermen's insight regarding work safety through counseling and training to increase knowledge about Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).
