Analysis of Supplement Consumption of Pregnant Women with Orofacial Cleft in Children at RSAB Harapan Kita Jakarta

Congenital abnormalities remain a leading cause of death in toddlers, with a global death rate of 8.7 per 1000 live births in 2016. Cleft lip, a congenital birth defect, has an incidence rate in Indonesia that increases by an average of 7,500 cases per year. One of the exogenous factors influencing the occurrence of orofacial clefts (OFC) is maternal supplement intake. This study aimed to assess the relationship between maternal supplement consumption and the incidence of OFC in children and identify the dominant factors in maternal supplement intake. The study employed an observational analytic method with a case-control approach, involving 70 maternal samples calculated using the Lemshow formula. Data for the case group were obtained from mothers who underwent treatment at RSAB Harapan Kita Jakarta. The sampling method used was non-probability convenience sampling, and the data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. The results showed a tendency for supplement consumption and maternal zinc requirements to increase the risk of OFC in children. However, a significant relationship was found between the timing of supplement consumption and the adequacy of folic acid, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12 supplements. In the multivariate analysis, the dominant risk factors were the need for folic acid and zinc in mothers. Based on the study results, it is recommended that local government regulations consider these factors to optimize the management and prevention of non-syndromic OFC in children, especially in Jakarta.

Analysis of Local Governance and Legal Protection of Students' Information Security in the Context of Sustainable Development of Digital Education

Local governments are dealing with student information more and more frequently, resulting in the risk of student information being leaked, so it is necessary to introduce relevant policies, laws and regulations to standardize information collection activities and improve the level of social information governance. Therefore, this study proposes three hypotheses: on the one hand, whether the information policy issued by the local government can guide students' information collection activities, and on the other hand, whether the introduction of local laws and regulations can provide protection for students' information security; Finally, whether public participation can provide supervision for student information collection and governance, and create a good public management environment. The results show that local information laws and regulations can regulate the behavior of students' information collection and clarify the purpose and direction of students' information collection. At the same time, laws and regulations such as privacy protection and local codes of conduct can improve the security of student information and ensure the legal collection of information. The active participation of the public is conducive to the public information collection environment and ensures the overall security of student information. Therefore, local government policies, laws, and regulations can provide assurance and support for students' information security and promote the sustainable development of digital education.

Waste separation intention of households in Sri Lanka

Abstract The effective practice of waste separation at the source is crucial for achieving sustainable development and promoting the reduce, reuse, and recycle concept. This practice should be adopted by both households and business organisations. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the intention of waste separation at the household level in Sri Lanka. For this purpose, a random selection of 388 households representing the entire country was undertaken. Independent variables, including attitude, perceived cost benefits, moral norms, inconvenience, and rules and regulations, were examined in relation to their impact on the dependent variable, which was the intention of waste separation. A 5-point Likert scale questiommaire was utilised to assess each of these variables. The methodology employed in this study included principal component analysis, factor analysis, and Structural Equation Model (SEM) to establish the underlying model. The results of the analysis revealed the significance of attitude, perceived cost benefits, and moral norms at a 5% significance level. Interestingly, although inconvenience exhibited a negative influence on intention, its significance was not established. Furthermore, while existing literature commonly attributed local government rules and regulations as a significant factor, the model indicated a positive and insignificant relationship. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of positive attitudes, perceived benefits in terms of cost, and adherence to moral norms in fostering the intention for waste separation. Despite the negative impact of inconvenience not reaching statistical significance, it remains a noteworthy consideration. Additionally, the unexpected positive and insignificant relationship with local government rules and regulations prompts further exploration.

Exploring the role of regulation in urban citizenship practices: looking at Swiss and Turkish cities

ABSTRACT ‘Urban citizenship’ connotes to statuses and practices centred around the relationship between a locality and (all) individuals present or residing within its territory. This alternative imagination of citizenship (as opposed to formal nation-state citizenship) is based on a presumption of belonging for persons present/resident in the locality (ius domicii) and includes those typically excluded by the nation-state, in a radical vision of equality and non-discrimination. But domestic legal competences of local governments vary significantly across jurisdictions. This article, based on field research in Turkey and Switzerland, explores what role such domestic competences, or the regulation of local governments, plays in facilitating, encouraging, discouraging or obstructing local governments’ engagement with radically inclusive urban citizenship practices. First operationalising the concept of ‘regulation’ and establishing Turkey and Switzerland as low- and high-regulation country contexts respectively, this article identifies four ways in which regulation shapes urban citizenship practices of local governments: (a) by shaping local governments’ perception on their own autonomy; (b) by influencing whether local governments engage in legally foreseen or extra-legal practices; (c) by informing whether and how much local governments categorise different groups of rights-holders and; (d) by affecting which scales these urban citizenship practices are exercised in (upwards, downwards, horizontal).

A Linguistic Study of Metadiscourse Markers in Local Government Regulation for Tourism Development

Abstract. Study on metadiscourse covers various genres of texts, both academic and non-academic texts. This study concerns the genre of regulation that is still rarely studied. It aims to explain the types and functions of metadiscourse in local government regulation. By using descriptive qualitative design, it studied the local government regulation for Sumenep tourism development in particular for the front matter and the section of the core content of the regulation, excluding part of the explanation or attachment. Data in the form of clauses and sentences used which contain metadiscourse markers. Results of the study have shown that there are transitions, endophoric markers, and evidentials of interactive metadiscourse. There are no frame markers and code glosses. Endophoric markers are the most frequently used functions to refer to information from the text previously stated, evidentials that refer to information from other texts are mainly used to refer to other forms of the constitution, laws, ministerial regulation, and other government regulations as the basis of regulation drafting, and the least is transitions that functions to relate between main clause to be coherent and easily understood as a whole text. Meanwhile, all categories of interactional metadiscourse markers are not found in this genre of regulation. The use of metadiscourse markers can assist in engaging the reader by signaling the writer's attitude, position, or assessment of the presented information. This can render the text more interactive and persuasive.Keywords: metadiscourse, regulation, tourism, Sumenep, Madura

Optimising Agrivoltaic Systems: Identifying Suitable Solar Development Sites for Integrated Food and Energy Production

This study explores the integration of food and energy systems as a solution to address agricultural challenges in the dryland region of Gunungkidul Regency. Facing water scarcity issues, the region's abundant solar irradiation potential presents an opportunity for co-locating food and energy production, specifically through the implementation of an agrivoltaic system. Seven sub-districts had been designated in the local government regulations for solar energy development sites, including Gedangsari, Nglipar, Ngawen, Purwosari, Saptosari, Tanjungsari, and Tepus. Ten criteria and five constraints were established to assess their suitability for agrivoltaic systems. Utilising map overlay analysis and integrating GIS-MCDA with Fuzzy and AHP methodologies, three sub-districts—Semanu, Wonosari, and Tepus—emerged as the most suitable locations. Each sub-district boasts substantial total areas of 1,779.9 Ha, 1,325.5 Ha, and 1,147.21 Ha, respectively, with Tepus aligning with the local government's solar energy development plan. This comprehensive approach ensures that the selected locations meet both energy development goals and the potential for successful agrivoltaic implementation. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the feasibility of implementing food and energy combinations through an agrivoltaic system in Gunungkidul Regency, providing insights into suitable sub-districts and emphasising the importance of aligning regional energy plans with sustainable agricultural practices on arid land.

A stochastic and time-delay evolutionary game of food safety regulation under central government punishment mechanism

Food safety is a pressing issue affecting public health, and strengthening food safety regulation has become a widespread consensus. This study addresses the three-party game involving food production enterprises, third-party testing agencies, and government regulatory authorities. Considering the influence of random disturbances and time delays on the strategy-choosing and behavioral evolution of game players, a three-party stochastic evolutionary game model for food safety regulation with time delays is established. The stability of the model is analyzed by using Lyapunov's method, and the strategy evolution of the game players is investigated while combining numerical simulations. The study shows that the net benefit of the players' expected strategies is key in determining whether the overall game system can reach the optimal equilibrium. The level of penalties imposed by the central government on local government regulators is key to food safety. The main factors influencing the strategy-choosing of game players are the level of penalties imposed by the local government regulators on third-party testing agencies, together with the supervision costs of the local government regulators. Random disturbances have a certain impact on strategy-choosing of the game players, with a greater impact on testing agencies, followed by food production enterprises, and a weaker impact on government regulatory authorities. The time delay factors exhibit a certain delay effect on the evolutionary path of strategy-choosing among the game players, which aligns with the actual situation. The findings of the study have implications for food safety regulation.

Operational and Environmental Assessment for Night Markets under the Informal Economy Impacts: Insights from the Case Study of Selangor, Malaysia

As an expression of the informal economy, the night market is not only a place that could attract locals to buy goods but also a place where tourists can experience the local characteristics. While the night market brought economic vitality to the city's economy, it also brought some issues. A comprehensive literature review of night markets revealed that existing studies paid less attention to outdoor night markets' spatial operations and waste management. Grounded in the connection between sustainability and night markets, the present study reflected on existing research findings by adopting different periods of fieldwork to conduct a case study of the night market in Jalan 17/1A, Selangor, Malaysia. The study focused on three aspects of night markets: spatial operations, waste, and waste recycling. It found that night market operations brought localized regional economic benefits while causing more severe pollution issues, significantly affecting the region's environmental health and sustainable development. The findings revealed that local government regulation of night market businesses in Malaysia is weak (the issuance of business licenses is informed of the operational guidelines), and there is also no relevant monitoring and penalties by the local government to intervene in the misbehavior of night market consumers. Based on the results of the field survey and combined with the concept of sustainable development, the present study recommended suggestions for the future spatial operation and waste management of night markets. Innovative and novel perspectives of the study combined qualitative observations and data analysis to comprehensively examine how spatial considerations and waste management strategies intersect in the unique context of night markets—aiming to fill the gaps in the sustainability of night market operations and to protect the ecology of the surrounding territorial environment, contributing to the discourse on sustainable development.

Is ‘more’ better? Testing the assumption that larger local governments are more sustainable

AbstractIt is commonly assumed that bigger local governments will be more financially sustainable. Indeed, public policymakers are often prompted to make boundary change decisions according to idealised structures that they assume will lead to stronger local governments. In addition, many local government regulators urge councillors to work for growth in order to become sustainable. However, the assumption that size is associated with financial sustainability has seldom been put to robust empirical test. In this work, we first explore the theoretical considerations relevant to the supposed association between size and sustainability. Following this, we employ a comprehensive 5‐year panel of data to test the association. The evidence we derive stands in stark contrast to the assumptions of many policy architects. We conclude our work with an enumeration of the surprising implications that our results point to with respect to future public policy prescriptions.Points for practitionersTheoretical considerations are ambiguous with respect to the assumption that larger local governments might be more financially sustainable.A regression of a 5‐year panel of data demonstrates that larger local governments are indeedlessfinancially sustainable.Our results suggest the need for a radical re‐appraisal of policies surrounding amalgamation, de‐amalgamation, and which local governments are most at risk of financial failure.

Patologi Birokrasi Pelayanan Bansos Di Bagian Kesra Kantor Sekretariat Daerah Kabupaten Pekalongan

The Pekalongan Regency Regional Secretariat Office is a very vital government agency because it has the task of assisting the Regent in formulating policies and administrative coordination for the implementation of regional apparatus duties and administrative services. With this task, SETDA is the "Qibla" for other regional apparatus organizations in the Pekalongan Regency Government. However, what happened was that several employees at the Regional Secretariat Office actually committed violations that today are called bureaucratic pathologies. This research uses a qualitative descriptive research type. Descriptive understanding is a discussion in the form of exposure to words and language, in a special natural context and by utilizing various natural methods. Qualitative research is research that intends to understand the phenomenon of what is experienced by research subjects. The purpose of this study was to find out about the procedures for providing grants and social assistance sourced from the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget of Pekalongan Regency, namely to find out the procedures or stages of applying for grants and social assistance, knowing local government policies and regulations and their implementation The results of this study indicate the existence of bureaucratic pathology in the activities of grant services and social assistance in the welfare division of the Pekalongan regional secretariat. Guidelines for the management of grants and social assistance sourced from the regional income and expenditure budget as outlined in the district head's regulations seem to have been ignored. In this study, the types of pathology that occur are explained. Most types of pathology that occur are caused by the bureaucracy itself. Bureaucratic culture since ancient times has not been able to be changed by the bureaucracy itself. In carrying out daily tasks, many of the bureaucracy have not been maximal in carrying it out, especially bureaucracy related to service. A paradigm shift is still very much needed within the bureaucracy itself. Efforts to overcome it are still not optimal, the support and commitment of the leadership is the main thing to change the existing bureaucratic paradigm.

Study on the impact of central environmental protection inspection on the health of the older adult population-A quasi-natural experiment in China.

In 2015, the central government of China established the Central Environmental Protection Inspection (CEPI) system for oversight of local governments. It enhanced local government enforcement of environmental regulations, which had a considerable influence on the health of the local older adult population. This study quantifies the effects of local government regulation brought about by CEPI on the health of the older adult. It examines the impact mechanism using the DID model and panel data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The results show that (1) local governments' environmental protection regulations implemented by CEPI have a positive impact on the general health of the older adult. The results of the study passed the parallel trend test, PSM test, replacement variable test, and placebo test and remained significant; (2) in terms of the impact mechanism, CEPI has promoted local governments' environmental governance initiatives, which has reduced industrial wastewater emissions, industrial sulfur dioxide emissions, and industrial fumes emissions. This has improved air quality, thereby creating a good living environment for the older adult and improving their overall health; (3) according to heterogeneity research, the health of older adult living in the Yangtze River Basin, urban older adult, and older adult without chronic diseases is more significantly affected by the environmental protection regulations of the local governments brought about by CEPI.

An analysis of the tripartite evolutionary game for building the ecological security barrier in the Bohai Sea under the threshold of land-sea integration

The construction of marine ecological security barriers (MESBs) is fundamental for the sustainable development of the marine ecological environment and of the marine economy, and is an important component of the strategy of land-sea integration. It is difficult to build an effective MESB simply by relying on the power of the government; therefore, to this respect, it is urgent to encourage the multiple participating subjects to work together. This study takes the Bohai Sea as the research object, and uses evolutionary game theory to construct a game model of decision-making behavior among marine enterprises, local governments, and the public in the process of construction of the MESB in the Bohai Sea, so as to explore the strategic stability equilibrium point through the analysis of the interests of the three decision makers, and lay the foundation for promoting this process. The results are as follows: (1) Local government regulation is key to promote the transformation of the Bohai Sea MESB from policy documents to behavior and from goal to practice; moreover, it directly influences whether the main sources of land-based pollution, i.e., marine enterprises, will abandon the traditional approach to production and development and actively promote the construction of the Bohai Sea MESB. (2) The supervision and reporting of the public can be used as a synergistic, auxiliary supervision means. Thanks to the government’s publicity and education, the public will develop social awareness of marine ecological security, which in turn will ensure a better public supervision of the behavior of local governments and, thus, promote the active participation of marine enterprises in the MESB in the Bohai Sea. (3) Participation costs, ecological benefits, corporate social image, fines, and other factors are the main factors considered in the strategic choice of marine enterprises, with different factors having different marginal effects at different stages. Finally, this study proposes effective measures to further clarify the roles and functions of the stakeholders in the construction of the MESB in the Bohai Sea, balance the interests of the game subjects, and provide an effective implementation path for the realization of the “Ocean Power”.
