Challenges to Local Public Service in the Post Pandemic

The relevance of the New Public Administration (NPA) Paradigm initiated by Frederickson shows its increasing power. Although this paradigm appeared far before the change in global post-pandemic conditions, the New Public Administration (NPA) Paradigm is capable of guiding the public administrative measures to respond to the challenge of post-pandemic social change, especially in the public service administration aspect. Public service before the pandemic, especially at the local government level, had found form and quality issues. The public service at the local level is attempting to respond to public needs and social changes that are always a big challenge for public administration. The pandemic suddenly worsened and was a blow to the process of public administration adjustment to the changes. The public service that needed modernization was badly hit by the pandemic. Therefore, this article aims to identify challenges to public administration in the context of post-pandemic changes in public service. This research used a focus group discussion method with stakeholders and documentation as the secondary data. This article successfully shows the important position of amplification of changes and responsiveness in public administration, especially in public service delivery.

The growing norm of sexual harassment in Pakistan’s mainstream and ethnic news media

Across time, in a variety of forms and spaces -from homes and workplaces to digital domains of social media- women have become victims of sexual harassment. Over the last couple of years, the world has witnessed appalling cases followed under the #MeToo campaign that has inspired an increasing number of women to share their experiences of sexual harassment in different contexts. Nevertheless, social and family pressures may discourage female journalists operating in conservative societies to express their concerns and experiences. The case of Pakistan is noteworthy. While women constitute a major proportion of the Pakistani society, the country’s men hold power in all major sectors and institutions. Sexual harassment can hinder women’s professional lives in any sector. However, female journalists’ experiences of sexual harassment are hardly documented in the academic literature about the Pakistani news media. Thus, informed by the framework of postcolonial feminist theory and intersectionality, this study aims to contribute an analysis of how sexual harassment is experienced by the Pakistani female journalists in the country’s mainstream, as well as ethnic news media. To achieve this aim, this study uses qualitative methods of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions and offers a thematic analysis of data.

Sosialisasi dan Edukasi Alokasi Dana Desa kepada Aparatur Desa di Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan

Purpose: The purpose of implementing community service activities is to provide education to village officials so that they have an understanding of the complexity of village fund allocations and the ability to evaluate and analyze problems in village fund allocation management. Methodology: The implementation of this community service uses the focus group discussion (FGD) method. The partners involved were all village heads in the District of Timor Tengah Selatan, and the Dinas Pemberdayaan Masyarakat of Timor Tengah Selatan District. Participants were determined by non-probability by purposive sampling. Based on this technique, the number of FGD participants was 267 people. The mechanism for implementing FGDs consists of discourse and evaluations. Discourse are conducted through information sharing, knowledge sharing, and relations. Meanwhile, the evaluation of the results was carried out through a non-test method using a direct-open questionnaire. Results: The implementation of village fund allocation management in the village is still a problem and obstacle caused by the limited human resources of the village head, limited supporting infrastructure, limited guidance and assistance, capacity building activities for village officials who are not yet oriented to village needs, programming and policies that are not adaptive between interests. government to the village, and sectoral ego. Conclusion: The activities carried out can educate so that participants have knowledge of the management of village fund allocations. In addition, participants were able to evaluate problems and obstacles in implementing village funds, especially those related to the allocation of village funds. In addition, participants were able to reconstruct recommendations for improving the management of village fund allocations to village fund stakeholders, especially the government, from the village head itself to the central government level.

Penyuluhan Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Marning Jagung di Desa Kertosari Kecamatan Arjasa Kabupaten Situbondo

Kertosari Village is one of the centers for “marning” corn-processed products in Situbondo. Until now there are three corn-marketing UKMs in Kertosari Village whose products are marketed outside the city, such as Banyuwangi, Malang, to Jakarta. However, so far UKMs have not implemented GMP in their production processes and tend to use makeshift production rooms with simple tools. Thus, food safety, competitiveness, and product quality are still not a priority for UKMs. The layout of the production process is not by following under GMP principles. This happened because of their limited knowledge and skills regarding GMP principles. Therefore, an extension on the application of GMP principles needs to be done to improve product quality and safety. In addition, GMP principles can also guarantee the health and safety of workers. An extension on the application of GMP principles was carried out using the focus group discussion (FGD) method. The material presented includes the concept of food safety, contamination related to processed food production, and GMP principles. The results of the extension show an increase in knowledge by 25%.

The process of overcoming conflicts among teachers in the implementation of comprehensive sexuality education at ordinary public senior high schools in Mataram City, Indonesia: a qualitative study

BackgroundComprehensive sexuality education (CSE), which aims to help young people make responsible choices and acquire scientific knowledge and skills, has been promoted by UNESCO. Teachers experience conflicts in implementing CSE when teaching sexual topics in the local context, especially as the delivery of sexual knowledge and contraceptive methods is often prohibited by religious and traditional cultural norms. It was reported that there were multiple challenges in the implementation of sex education due to the religious and cultural background of societies and communities in Islamic countries. This study aimed to clarify the process of overcoming the conflicts, explore teachers’ recognition and perception related to the implementation of CSE, and to suggest recommendations for promoting CSE in Islamic areas.MethodsThis qualitative study combined the methods of focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) to explore the conflict among teachers. Ten ordinary public senior high schools in Mataram City, Indonesia, agreed to participate, and in total, 59 participants were involved in this study. FGDs were conducted with teachers (n = 49), and IDIs were focused on school principals (n = 10) in each school. The collected interview data were analyzed using a deductive thematic analysis and the findings triangulated for both the FGDs and IDIs.ResultsOverall, the teachers experienced conflicts in relation to religion, cultural background, and gender inequality in implementing CSE. The present study revealed the mutual recognition among teachers and acceptance of diverse backgrounds in the implementation of CSE at ordinary public senior high schools in Mataram City. Despite teachers reporting multiple conflicts, they made efforts to overcome these conflicts through mutual recognition and provided comprehensive guidance. The present findings indicated that teachers adapted CSE to follow multiple religions and cultural backgrounds.ConclusionsThe teachers accepted diverse backgrounds and provided CSE by collaborating with related educational subjects and external institutions to overcome conflicts. To provide more specialized education, it would be necessary to advocate a formal policy that might be accepted by diverse societies. Further research is necessary to apply the findings and recommendations for CSE implementation globally in the contexts of different countries.

Cultivation of underutilized fruit trees by indigenous people in Urug Village, West Java, Indonesia

Abstract. Anggraeni A, Yuniati R, Silalahi M, Lestari R, Jumari. 2023. Cultivation of underutilized fruit trees by indigenous people in Urug Village, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 454-466. Underutilized Fruit Trees (UFTs) are a group of fruit trees with high potential but underutilized. Some fruit has been identified in Urug Village, but this village was hit by a natural disaster, i.e., a flood and landslide in early 2020 that damaged the location where UFTs grew, threatening the existence of UFTs genetic resources. Therefore, a systematic and integrated effort is needed to maintain UFTs biodiversity. This study aims to discover how to cultivate UFTs by the indigenous peoples in Urug Village, document the location where UFTs grow, and analyze index vegetation using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Using the combined method of Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with 16 indigenous people, in-depth interviews with 19 indigenous people, and field observations, this study shows that there are 53 individuals of UFTs from 13 species found in several areas in Urug Village. Indigenous people have a unique way of cultivating UFT, starting from tree selection, preparation of planting sites, tree planting, and fruit tree care. However, more than 60% of UFT was found in the moderate vegetation index. The challenges of UFTs cultivation in Urug Village are changes in fruit consumption patterns, degradation of local knowledge, lack of information about the nutritional and vitamin content of UFTs, land use change, climate change, and the low involvement of both central and regional governments in cultivating UFTs. Thus, changes in consumer and government perceptions, and increased research on UFT are needed to address the challenges of cultivating UFT.

Health-saving behavior and quality of life of military pensioners of working age in the process of their re-socialization after discharge from military service: qualitative and quantitative study

BACKGROUND: The problem of resocialization of military pensioners of working age in the civilian community is currently one of the urgent problems of both the state and society. Being a potential labor resource, this social group faces the need for a radical restructuring of its lifestyle and trajectories of labor activity (employment), the need for professional retraining.
 OBJECTIVE: The purpose to study the features of the resocialization of military pensioners of working age in the main areas of its course, as well as to identify the main problems of the process of their resocialization.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: The article presents studies implemented using the methods of focus group discussions (two focus groups n=9, n=5), a questionnaire using a standard questionnaire for determining the quality of life SF-36 (n=413) and an authors questionnaire (n=413).
 RESULTS: The health-saving behavior of military pensioners is contradictory: on the one hand, they strive to preserve the useful health-saving habits acquired in the army (sleep and nutrition, commitment to sports) and at the same time note a two-fold decrease in physical activity; they understand the value of health, putting it in first or second place in the system of value orientations, and at the same time demonstrate a decreased the level of their own health-saving behavior, not paying enough attention to prevention and timely access to medical care. One of the most important motives for the re-socialization of modern military pensioners is the desire to maintain a high level and quality of their lives, as well as the lives of their families, which is significantly reduced due to their retirement.
 CONCLUSION: Socially useful qualities and skills acquired by respondents during military service should be used as much as possible in the process of their re-socialization into civil society. It will not only help military pensioners adapt, but will also contribute to solving a number of personnel and demographic problems at the level of public administration, as well as strengthening the practices of social solidarity in modern Russian society.

Male Student Challenges in a Maternity Nursing Clinical Course in a Middle Eastern Country: Strategies for Improved Performance and Future Implications for Nursing Education and Practice

Introduction As the number of males, entering nursing and midwifery increase in number, challenges faced by these males during training sessions also is on rise. Since these challenges vary from culture to culture, it is essential to understand the experiences and challenges of male nursing students during their nursing education. Aim To explore the challenges faced by male nursing students in learning maternal health nursing and the remedial strategies to improve their performance as identified by the students. Design A descriptive qualitative research design using focus group discussion method was used. Methods Twenty-two (22) undergraduate male nursing students enrolled in the Maternal Health Nursing Course during the Academic Years 2017 and 2018 were purposively selected to participate in the study through five (5) focus groups each comprising between four to six students. Results Three themes emerged from the study: (a) cultural constraints in the clinical learning process; (b) traditional gender-biased role expectations, and (c) alternative teaching strategies. In terms of “ cultural constraints,” the students felt the Arabic culture was the main barrier in direct patient care in midwifery practice. In relation to “ gender-biased role expectations,” the students reported that they felt “ not accepted and isolated” in midwifery clinical areas. Thirdly, the “ alternative teaching strategies” relate to the student's remedy to the cultural constraints and the gender bias faced that undermined their learning and overall performance in maternity nursing course . These alternative ways of learning included, “ increased involvement of nurses and midwives in teaching learning”; “ cultivating positive relationship between the clinical instructor and students,” and the “ use of high fidelity simulation to learn skills in midwifery education.” Conclusion The study findings revealed that male student nurses face significant challenges in maternity nursing course.

Indigenous technical knowledge used in dairying by pastoralists of Jammuand Kashmir

The study was carried out in current Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir (erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir). Two districts, namely Rajouri & Poonch from Jammu division were selected purposively because of being the districts of highest Gujjar (transhumants primarily rearing cattle and buffaloes)population; whereas, two districts, namely Anantnag & Baramullafrom Kashmir division were selected purposively because of beingthe districts of highest Bakarwal (transhumants primarilyrearing sheep and goats) population. Sixty respondents (Gujjars)from migratory tracts of district Rajouri & Poonch from Jammudivision were selected randomly and sixty respondents(Bakarwal) from migratory tract of districts Anantnag &Baramulla from Kashmir division were selected randomly comprising a total of 120 respondents. Those pastoralists who were rearing at least 10 milch animals were selected for the study.

With regard to the induction of heat, thirty per cent of the respondents used chapatti of a mixture of Gur and ghee inthe ratio of 2:1 in wheat flour and fed to animal once a day toinduce heat. For retention of placenta, 34.17 per cent of therespondents fed extract obtained from tea leaves (Camelliasinensis) on boiling after sieving to animals. As far as ITKsregarding feeding practices are concerned 40.83 per cent of therespondents fed boiled Ber leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana) onceaday to increase milk production. The study reveals that 42.50 percent of respondents fed10-12 leaves of Katori(Xylosonalongifolium) plant to animals having diarrhoea and15.83 per cent fed fruits of bel (Aegle marmelos) to animals having diarrhoea.

Industry 4.0 concepts within the sub–Saharan African SME manufacturing sector

In developing nations, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector do not or are slowly adopting industry 4.0 (I4.0) concepts, making them less competitive. Yet, they serve as the backbone of emerging economies, thus creating a performance gap between them and their international competitors. As a result, more efforts will be required to provide adequate tools for SMEs to implement I4.0, especially in emerging economies and Africa. This study tackles the disconnect in sub–Saharan African manufacturing SMEs through an empirical research approach using the focus group discussion method, which is the first to collect opinions, reinforcing the current literature on I4.0 technologies, prospects, and challenges to implementation. Our findings underpin six critical drawbacks for implementing I4.0 by manufacturing SMEs in emerging economies and proffer mitigation strategies to establish Sub-Saharan Africa as a competitive, innovation-driven manufacturing powerhouse at the centre of Industry 4.0 development and adoption.

Challenges facing fishermen in Bardawil lake, north Sinai, Egypt

Bardawil Lake is considered one of the most important and purest Egyptian lakes. However, in recent years, a relative decrease in the quantity and value of production and a qualitative change has been observed in the fish produced by the lake. Hence, this study aimed to identify the most important problems facing the fishermen in Bardawil Lake and their suggestions to overcome them. This study was conducted in North Sinai Governorate, Data were collected using a focus group discussion method with 90.6% of the board's members of fishing associations (58 respondents). in addition, A random sample of 346 fishermen through a personal interview from May to December 2020. The results indicated the high age levels of fishermen (X̅ = 50.44) and the high illiteracy rate among them (58.57%) despite their high experience in the fishing profession, but unfortunately, it was not based on a training background as 69.65% of the respondent fishermen did not receive any training courses. only 13.45% of them depended on the agricultural extension as the main source of technical information, which indicates a clear absence of the agricultural extension role with the fishermen in the lake. The most important obstacles facing the respondent fishermen were the weak income from the fishing profession 89.88%, the weak role of agricultural extension 86.42%, the insufficiency of the role of fishing cooperatives 83.82%, While their most important suggestions were to activate the laws regulating the fishing process 90.17% and to prevent illegal fishing 84.68%. The study recommends developing fish extension and providing it with specialists in the fields of fisheries development to play a more effective role in this field.

Degenderisation of paid and unpaid work in Kazakhstan?

The current article applies theoretical framework of degenderisation and aims to explore to what degree women are degenderised by state policies in the labour market and unpaid work in Kazakhstan. The study applied the qualitative research method of semi-structured focus group discussion among 30 women from Almaty and Turkestan. The findings in the current research demonstrate that women’s paid work in the labour market and unpaid work at home do not prove the degenderisation, but rather confirm genderisation process. Women bear costs of emotional, social and time resources as a result of motherhood, which results in them fulfilling less of their potential in professional sphere. There is also a strong influence of cultural factor that causes women to prevent the degenderisation and reinforces genderisation in unpaid work due to their beliefs in traditional gender roles and division of labour in family. The research contributes to theoretical significance by applying theory developed by Western authors, degenderisation, to the case of Kazakhstan.

Clinical students’ reflections on the preclinical anatomy learning experience

ObjectivesAnatomy is a fundamental pillar of medical knowledge that bridges basic medical science knowledge and clinical practice. However, integrated modern medical curricula have reduced the anatomy teaching content, and cadaveric dissection is no longer conducted. Medical graduates who lack anatomy knowledge are anticipated to be inadequately equipped for safe clinical practice. This study was aimed at exploring clinical year students' experiences regarding their anatomy learning during the preclinical phase in Malaysian medical schools. The findings reflect how the students’ preclinical anatomy training prepared them for their clinical years of study. MethodsA qualitative phenomenology study using the focus group discussion method was conducted on 30 final-year students from four public universities. Four focus group discussion sessions were conducted, and students’ responses were transcribed and converted to electronic formats. The transcripts were analyzed thematically with ATLAS.ti software. ResultsThe first-cycle coding of the text analysis generated 157 open codes based on the phrases used by the participants. The subsequent coding cycle produced 16 axial codes—groups of open codes with similar features. During the final coding cycle, the content and interrelations between the axial codes were categorized into six codes: (1) preclinical anatomy learning experience, (2) anatomy content and teaching, (3) anatomy-related competency, (4) the importance of anatomy knowledge in clinical practice, (5) the importance of early exposure to applied clinical anatomy, and (6) suggestions for future anatomy education. ConclusionsThe six identified themes reflected students’ perceptions of their anatomy learning experience, the challenges that they faced during their preclinical years, and their opinions regarding the anatomy knowledge and skills that are functionally relevant during the clinical years. Their responses also echoed the need to improve anatomy teaching and learning, thereby emphasizing the importance of early clinical integration and application.
