Making Education Support Media About Flood Hazard in Samarinda in the Form of Digital Comic

Samarinda is the capital of East Kalimantan that is currently growing rapidly. However, the city of Samarinda still has a complex flood problem. This flood phenomenon occurs not only when it is the rainy season but also when it rains for 1-2 hours. This condition interferes with the activities of the community and the government in Samarinda in carrying out daily activities because it can immerse settlements and housing, damage public facilities, and cause casualties. Despite the frequent occurrence and inconvenience of the community, Samarinda's level of public awareness in preventing floods is still minimal. This can be seen from the large number of communities that still often throw garbage carelessly into rivers, especially residents living near rivers. The garbage thrown into the river hinders the flow of water to the point where it can create a high puddle. It is seen that there are many communities, especially young people who are open-minded about environmental issues. Therefore, it is necessary to design a flood prevention educational medium in Samarinda city that can start from oneself or a simple thing with the main target is Samarinda people itself, especially the youth with qualitative methods.

Social media prevalence study of information about carbon dioxide capture and storage projects

This article is devoted to the relevant topic of reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. The relevance of the article is confirmed by the fact that within the framework of the Paris Agreement, a number of countries, including the Russian Federation, have undertaken obligations to implement measures entailing the achievement of this goal. Among such activities the development and implementation of carbon dioxide capture and storage projects (hereinafter referred to as CCUS projects) are important, one of the conditions for the development of which is to achieve a certain level of public approval of such projects. The article presents an overview of Russian and foreign sources of information on both the prospects for the development of projects for the capture, storage and utilization of carbon dioxide and the problems of prevalence of information about such projects. A study of four of the most popular social networks in the Russian Federation for the presence of video content and communities on topics such as “CO2”, “Greenhouse gases”, “CO2 capture”, “CO2 Utilization”, “CO2 emission” and a number of others was conducted. It was revealed that some of the topics are not represented in social networks at all, and the rest is rarely traced. Recommendations to increase the level of public awareness about CCUS projects are given.

Public Trust Analysis of Vaccination Covid-19 Policy in Indonesia

The Covid-19 vaccination program in Indonesia had been started since early 2021. Effectiveness, side effects, and the level of public awareness are still a problem in achieving the predetermined Covid-19 vaccination target. the study aimed to describe the level of public confidence in the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine. The vaccine is an effective intervention that can reduce the high burden of disease globally. However, public skepticism about vaccines is a pressing issue for public health authorities. With the availability of the Covid-19 vaccine, there is little information available about public acceptance and attitudes toward the Covid-19 vaccine in Indonesia. The method used in this research is a Literature Review study. The results of this study are low-public trust or low trust in the vaccination policy itself, especially in the early days of the presence of vaccines in Indonesia. This low-public trust is much influenced by the distribution of information on social media which gives rise to a narrative of debate. This situation also has an impact on the pattern of acceptance, cooperative interest, and public participation in government policies in the vaccination program, in increasing public trust, of course, there is a role for the media as well to provide education and information on all matters related to the vaccination program. The government’s efforts to cooperate with the Indonesian Ulema Council in supervising halal vaccine products seem to have an influential intensity, this is because Indonesia is a country with the majority of the population converts to Islam, so with the MUI fatwa stating that vaccines used for the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia are considered and monitored for purity. But as time goes on and the government continues to make efforts, the public’s confidence in the COVID-19 vaccination is getting better, and the success of preventing COVID-19 is going well.

Impact of media messages on containment of Coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria.

Different countries adopted various measures to stop the spread of COVID-19. In Nigeria, the federal government, through the Presidential Task Force on the pandemic and some non-governmental organizations, mounted vigorous public enlightenment and education campaign through the media to contain the spread of the disease. This article examined the impact of that effort by assessing the level of public awareness, perception, and satisfaction the campaign generated. A cross-sectional design and purpose sampling technique were used for the study. Questionnaires were distributed online through personal and group platforms on Whatsapp and Telegram applications. This technique ensured that only the users of these applications responded to the questionnaire. The national survey returned 359 responses. The results indicated a high level of public awareness from the media messages as 89.08% of respondents heard about COVID-19 from the media messages, 87.74% believed that media messages about the pandemic increased their awareness of it and 90.81% of respondents got influenced by the media messages to adjust to safety protocols against the disease. Majority of the respondents (75.49%) were satisfied with the overall performance of the media in their sensitization campaign. While 49.03% benefitted to a very large extent from the media messages, 44.01% benefitted to a large extent. The results showed that the impact of the media awareness messages on COVID-19 was high and that Nigerian media contributed immensely to reducing the spread of the disease in the country.

Can Google Trends analysis confirm the public's need for information about the rare association of facial nerve paralysis with COVID-19 or the COVID-19 vaccination?

Facial nerve paralysis or Bell's palsy have been suggested as possible consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infections, as well as possible side effects of COVID-19 vaccinations. Google Trends data have been used to evaluate worldwide levels of public awareness for these topics for pre- and post-pandemic years. The results demonstrate a relatively low public interest in facial nerve paralysis in comparison to other more common COVID-19 related topics. Some peaks of interest in Bell's palsy can most likely be explained as triggered by the media. Therefore, Google Trends has shown public's relatively low awareness of this rare neurological phenomenon during the pandemic.

Pengembangan Kemampuan Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) pada Peserta Didik Sekolah Dasar Berasrama

This research is based on the phenomenon of learning outcomes experienced by each student. Learning achievements are meant not only in academic fields marked by numbers/grades on the study evaluation results sheet but also in non-academic fields with a broader scope. SD Plus Mutiara Ilmu which carries the concept of multiple intelligences already uses educational principles according to the latest curriculum guidelines. In addition, the existence of schools with a relatively low level of public awareness of education can make proud achievements. Interestingly, this school has a dormitory for students who come from out of town. This phenomenon is interesting to explore further considering that the existence of elementary education level education units is still quite rare with dormitories. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with data collection using oral interview techniques and field observations. The results of the study showed that some students had SRL abilities, especially those who had achieved learning achievements at school and in the dormitories.

Problem of food waste based on a survey among young citizens in Poznań at household level

Food waste has a negative impact on people around the world, affecting the economy, environment, and society. Recognized as an international problem, much effort has been taken to identify goals and potential measures to reduce waste at every stage of the supply chain, both domestically and globally. This paper presents the results of a survey conducted among young adult residents (aged 18–25) of Poznań, a city with a population of over 500,000, with the aim of identifying the reasons for food waste by consumers, exploring methods to reduce it, and determining the level of public awareness of the issue and its consequences at household-level. The study found that consumers have difficulty purchasing adequate amounts of food and tend to prepare excessively large portions. The results provide valuable information for local governments, municipal authorities, companies, shops, schools, and other institutions that can use it to organize educational and informational campaigns targeted at consumers.

Faktor-Faktor Yang Berhubungan Dengan Perilaku Ibu Rumah Tangga Dalam Pengelolaan Sampah Rumah Tangga Di Gampong Anoi Itam Kecamatan Sukajaya Sabang Tahun 2022

Community behavior in managing waste is one of the environmental health behaviors. The emergence of the waste problem cannot be separated from the behavior of the community as waste producers and managers, therefore community behavior is the most important variable in waste management and its success must be supported by a high level of public awareness. This research is descriptive analytical with cross sectional design. The population in this study were housewives in Anoi Itam Village, Sukajaya Sabang District, totaling 71 respondents. Sampling was done by proportional random sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis, with chi square statistical test. Data collection was carried out on 27 February to 1 March 2022. The results showed that mothers with poor waste management behavior (50,7%), housewives aged 28-39 years (49,3%), housewives with low education (45,1%), mothers with low income low family (74.6%), mothers with good knowledge (83.1%), mothers with positive attitudes (83.1%), no infrastructure (59.7%). Bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and waste management behavior (p = 0.000), meaning that the better the mother's knowledge, the better the behavior towards waste management, and there was no relationship between age, education, family income, knowledge, attitudes, and infrastructure.

Community perceptions of ecosystem services and disservices linked to urban tree plantings

The planting of trees in streets and parks is critical for urban greening efforts that seek to improve climate-change resilience in cities around the world. Ecosystem services provided by urban trees range from mitigating urban heat island effects to enhancing human well-being and conserving native biodiversity. At the same time, such tree services trade off with disservices that include risk to human safety from falling branches and infrastructure damage from root growth. Here, we performed a survey of residents of a sub-tropical region in eastern Australia to determine community perceptions of the ecosystem services and disservices linked to urban tree plantings. Our aim was to better understand the diverse perceptions of the community, prior to on-the-ground implementation of urban greening, to help guide planting programs in streets and parklands that are vulnerable to UHI effects in the region. We found strong evidence for a high level of public awareness about the beneficial ecosystem services that urban trees can provide. A broad spectrum of beneficial tree services were valued highly by the community in their urban environment including the planting of native trees that can attract and provide food for preferred wildlife; provide shade and reduce heat; allow for a strong connection with nature; have the potential to store carbon to mitigate climate change; provide a level of protection from bushfires; have aesthetically pleasing properties; and produce food for people. At the same time, however, community concerns about tree disservices were concentrated primarily on root damage to infrastructure as well as property damage and injury from falling branches. Our elicitation of community attitudes to tree services and disservices will allow for residents’ most important values and strongest concerns about trees to be explicitly taken into account when establishing a community-inclusive approach to urban tree planting.

Sosialisasi Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat Di Desa Sukasari Dan Panunggulan Kecamatan Tunjung Teja Kabupaten Serang

Community-Based Total Sanitation (STBM) is very important and must be practiced, realized or actualized in the daily life of all community members. This is due to behavioral factors that contribute 30-35% to health status, so various ways are needed to make unhealthy behavior healthy, one of which is through the Community-Based Total Sanitation (STBM) program. The low level of clean and healthy living behavior in the school environment is partly due to the low level of public awareness in implementing clean and healthy living behaviors, such as open defecation so that our country's ODF (open defecation free/stop open defecation) rate is the 2nd lowest after India. , also community members never wash their hands with soap when they are going to eat, prepare unhealthy food and drink, throw trash in the wrong place, let alone take the initiative to build a garbage bank, and allow water to stagnate inside and in the yard. Socialization of clean and healthy living behavior is only implemented in the form of an appeal for behavior change so that people's lives are healthier and the Healthy District/City Program will be implemented. Moreover, Serang Regency, Pandeglang Regency and Lebak Regency are still lagging behind in Banten in the Healthy District/City Program. The three regencies have never received a basic-level Healthy District/City Award (Papada Award) because the ODF level is very low (below 7%). Thus, information is urgently needed regarding the importance of clean and healthy living behavior and realizing STBM at the village level.

Examining the level of public awareness on the Sustainable Development Goals in Africa: An empirical evidence from Ghana.

Nations which are part of the United Nations are required to institute appropriate measures to fulfil the vision of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, for this to be possible, all stakeholders including the general public need to be fully aware of the SDGs. This research examined the level of public awareness about the SDGs among Ghanaians based on the views of 431 respondents. Means, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis and Pearson Product-Moment Correlations were used for data analysis. The study found that awareness level on SDG 1 (ending poverty), SDG 2 (zero hunger, food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture), SDG 3 (health and well-being), SDG 5 (gender equality), and SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation) was high among Ghanaians. However, awareness level on SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), SDG 14 (conservation of life below water), and SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions) was very low among Ghanaians. No significant difference manifested in the level of awareness among male and female Ghanaians. There were statistically significant differences in educational levels of respondents and their overall level of awareness of the SDGs. Also, there was a low, negative correlation between overall level of awareness and the effectiveness of the communication strategies used in creating awareness about the SDGs. Government should re-examine its communication strategies on the SDGs and put in place a more effective communication policy framework which involves grassroots populations and local communities.

ФАНДРЕЙЗИНГ, ГРАНТРАЙТИНГ ЯК ОСОБЛИВИЙ ІНСТРУМЕНТ ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ УКРАЇНИ У ВОЄННИЙ ТА ПІСЛЯВОЄННИЙ ЧАС

The article examines the main aspects of the use of fundraising and grantwriting tools, the prospects of their use for the reconstruction of Ukraine in war and post-war times. The main possibilities for the reconstruction of housing stock, communal, social and critical infrastructure are outlined. The main and largest grant programs from the USA, the European Union, and the government of Ukraine are described. It is considered under what conditions the process of attracting international technical assistance, in particular grants, is the most effective, taking into account the peculiarities of fundraising and grant writing. The prospects of their use to attract extra-budgetary alternative resources for the projects of authorities, local self-government, representatives of business and the public sector are demonstrated. The basic principles of fundraising and the aspects determining the active position of the grant writer are emphasized. The sluggish process of separating the knowledge of fundraising and grantwriting specialists into a separate professional category is analyzed. The reasons for the non-active and ineffective use of grant aid from our partners for the reconstruction of Ukraine are emphasized, namely: the absence of a culture of fundraising and grant writing in society, a shortage of qualified specialists of the appropriate profile, and a low level of public awareness of grant opportunities for the reconstruction of destroyed cities and Ukraine in general. It has been demonstrated under what conditions and in what form the attention of representatives of authorities, local self-government, business, the public, funds and grant programs to the aspects of fundraising and grant writing is manifested. It is concluded that the use of fundraising and grant writing tools to attract extra-budgetary, alternative resources is one of the most important prerequisites for the effective recovery of Ukraine in war and post-war times. Overcoming difficulties and obstacles is possible if the culture of fundraising and grantwriting is actively established in society, broad informational support from grantmakers, authorities and foundations, professionalization of grantwriting and fundraising.

"I won't be a guinea pig": Rethinking public health communication and vaccine hesitancy in the context of COVID-19.

At the beginning of 2021, when Canada started distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, the unprecedented scope and severity of the pandemic led to very high levels of public awareness and attention, with Canadians actively seeking information. We argue that while there was continuous public health communication about COVID-19 and the newly available vaccines, these messages did not address the specific anxieties elicited by the novel vaccines, even as vaccination guidelines changed. Instead, public health messages about COVID-19 vaccines resembled those aimed at reducing vaccine hesitancy for routine immunization and did not sufficiently address the constant changes to COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. In a context of heightened public concern and significant public attention, it is crucial for communicators to acknowledge that hesitancy is vaccine-specific, and that novel diseases and new vaccines produce specific concerns. Long-term strategies should address the novelty of the technology and of the risk, thoroughly explain the reasons for shifting vaccination guidelines, and leverage trusted sources, such as community leaders. Further, as COVID-19 vaccines become less effective against some of the more recent variants of the virus, vaccine messaging needs to be tailored to evolve with shifting realities to not lose productive gains in the COVID-19 vaccination campaign to date.
