Sustainable tourism: analysis of methods and applications in the Indonesian tourism journals

This study departs from an observational study of sustainable tourism research articles published in the Indonesia tourism journals, which was analyzed by content analysis. This study aims to get a complete picture of what and how the manifestation of sustainable tourism research articles in Indonesia has been carried out, especially in methods and its applications. The authors found that tourism journals only occupied a small fraction (0.43%). Twenty-six tourism journals and 304 articles were identified. This study found that most methods used by sustainable tourism researchers generally replicate existing methods; there has been rarely development and or innovation of research methods. Qualitative research far outperforms quantitative and mixed methods, where descriptive qualitative research is the most significant. The application of the study is relatively evenly distributed on the dimensions of sustainable tourism and geographic area, but less on stakeholders and management functions. The authors conclude that the trend of sustainable tourism research published in Indonesian tourism journals is increasing. Tourism researchers are scattered from various parts of Indonesia, but tourism journals in Indonesia have not been able to attracted significant interest of the international research community yet. There has never been an assessment of the journal's methods and applications for sustainable tourism research in Indonesia. Therefore, this paper is beneficial as a reference for sustainable tourism researchers in the future.

Rhetorical Structure on Research Article Abstracts in Informatics and Computer Science Journals

<p align="center"><strong><em>ABSTRACT</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p><p><em>In order to attain coherence, research abstracts must contain a number of crucial steps, although these steps do not always follow the same sequence. Contexts tend to dictate different writing styles. This study looked at how the rhetorical structure or move structures were used, distributed, and arranged in 30 abstracts as incorporating of two Computer Science & Engineering, and Information Systems journals in Indonesia. Each move was classified and categorized using the five-move analysis paradigm developed by Hyland. Findings from the analysis showed that there were 12 organizational move pattern appears. Some had all the five moves, some had four moves and others only three. There were 15 abstracts that contained all the five moves identified with 9 abstracts following the framework M1-M2-M3-M4-M5, while the other 6 are random. 13 abstracts contained 4 moves with 10 following the M1-M2-M3-M4 pattern, while the other 3 are random. Another 2 abstracts only contained three moves with M1-M2-M3 and M1-M2-in pattern.</em> <em>In conclusion, this present study showed that the 50% of RA abstracts of the two journals have fulfilled the Hyland’s five model. Furthermore, in order to assist the student researchers in creating well-written abstracts, it would be good to provide explicit training and experiential learning through a genre-based approach.</em></p>

FROM COVID-19 TO PATIENT SAFETY: PRACTICE IN INDONESIA

The December 2022 edition of the Indonesian health administration journal has been published. This time raised several topics about health system. Generally, the manuscripts submitted raise topics related to the issue of Covid-19. Other topics include access to health services, management programs, health insurance, and patient safety. Another topic of this edition also raises the issue of access to health services. Ainy (2022) The issue of Covid-19 is still a concern for researchers at this time. Covid-19 inspection services are still a necessity at this time. However, not all districts can prepare for this need. Imaniar (2022) reports that the availability of RT-PCR in Covid-19 tests is still limited at the district level. Since Covid-19, the use of online-based systems has increased. Murima reported (2022) that the use of telemedicine in health facilities during a pandemic greatly helped health service providers, but there were obstacles such as not being multidisciplinary and lack of knowledge in using technology.

The conclusion sections in applied linguistics international journal articles written by Indonesian authors

This research attempts to describe the rhetorical structures of Indonesian author's in the conclusion section of applied linguistics international journals articles. The method employed in this study is descriptive quantitative. Thirty RA conclusion sections were extracted from two international journals; the Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL) and TEFLIN journal, and examined based on the rhetorical move following Yang & Allison's proposed model of conclusion section (2003). The result revealed that, first, the majority of RA Conclusion sections (22 [73%] out of 30 conclusion sections) contain all elements of the Conclusion sections outlined by Yang and Allison (2003), namely: obligatory; move 1 (summarizing the study), the conventional moves; move 2 (Evaluating the study) and move 3 (deduction from the research); second, concerning steps features, most Indonesian authors tend to use step 1 in realizing move 2 (evaluating the study) This implies that those authors tend to justify their study by indicating the result of the research in evaluating the study in the conclusion section rather than stating the limitation of the research or evaluating the methodology in the conclusion section. In move 3, the Indonesian author tends to use step 1 (recommending future research) in realizing this move. This implies that the author prefers to state the possible areas for future study of study rather than drawing pedagogic implications. In conclusion, most Indonesian authors fulfilled the rhetorical structure of yang and Allison proposed model in their conclusion section.

Food waste in Indonesian hospitals: a systematic review

PurposeThis systematic review (SR) aims to investigate plate waste quantity, determinant factors, and food waste costs in Indonesian hospitals.Design/methodology/approachThis SR was conducted by searching for articles published on the Web of Science, PubMed, Emerald insight, ScienceDirect and hand-searching on nationally accredited journals in Indonesia which consist of 29 journals in nutrition, environment and public health. The inclusion criteria in this review were peer-reviewed articles, original research, research locations in hospitals in Indonesia and articles in English or Bahasa (Indonesian language).FindingsThere were 21 studies (17 observational studies and 4 experimental studies) included in this systematic review. Results from 17 observational studies showed that the median plate waste was 27.6% (14.8%–88.7%). High plate waste was found in this review, particularly in pediatric patients and patients who receive liquid diet orally. Staple food and vegetables have a high contribution to patients’ plate waste. Economic costs of plate waste were $0.07–$0.5 per capita per day. Determinant factors of patient’s plate waste were patient clinical conditions, food taste and environmental conditions of hospital food service. Results from four experimental studies showed that meal replacement and smaller food portion intervention could reduce significant plate waste. Nevertheless, there is no conclusive evidence for food waste reduction intervention because of small intervention studies in Indonesia.Research limitations/implicationsThere was a high disparity in the quantity of plate waste and economic costs between studies included in this review.Practical implicationsImproving food sensory and adjusting food portions particularly for staple food and vegetables can be done as a way to reduce patient’s plate waste.Originality/valueThis SR is the first review of Indonesian hospital plate waste.

Rhetorical Moves and Meta-discourse Markers in Abstracts of Indonesian Scopus Indexed Journals Across Academic Disciplines

Rhetorical moves purposes to examine the basic structures of research articles, while meta discourse markers are elements to construct and to establish ideas and arguments. This study compares rhetorical moves and the function of meta discourse markers in research articles abstracts of different academic disciplines published in reputable indexed journals. This study employs (Pho, 2008)’s five-move analysis and the classification of meta discourse marker proposed by (Dafouz-Milne, 2008) as the research framework. The writer took five Indonesian Scopus Q1 and Q2 indexed journals from different academic disciplines. Those are Indonesian Journal Science and Technology (IJoST), Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL), Journal on Mathematics and Education (JME), Studia Islamika and Forest and Society. The results show that in terms of rhetorical move of abstracts, M2 and M4 became the moves which occur in all journal abstracts. In terms of meta discourse markers, all journal abstracts employ logical markers and code glosses. Sequencers, topicalisers, and illocutionary markers are used in small numbers, while reminders and announcements are not be found in any abstracts. The findings could help students and writers to produce abstracts that fulfill the requirements to be published in Scopus indexed journals.
