Spatial clustering of stunting cases in Indonesia: A Bayesian approach

Stunting is one of the major public health problems, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. In the Southeast Asian region, Indonesia has the third highest prevalence with an average prevalence of 36.4% (2005-2017). Indonesian Nutritional Status Study (SSGI) in 2021 stated that the percentage of stunting in Indonesia is 24.4%. Research on spatial modelling of stunting has been done, but the use of the Bayesian spatial Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) model is still rare. This article aims to provide the most appropriate Bayesian spatial CAR localised (clustering) model and identify the relative risk (RR) of stunting in each province in Indonesia. Data on the number of toddlers 0-59 months whose height is measured and the number of stunted toddlers in each province in Indonesia in 2021 were used. The best model is based on the Deviance Information Criterion, Watanabe Akaike Information Criterion and Modified Moran's I value for residuals. The results indicated that the Bayesian spatial CAR Localised with hyperprior Inverse-Gamma (0.5, 0.05) and Inverse-Gamma (1, 0.1) are preferred for two and three clusters, respectively. Our results identified the high-risk areas for stunting. Approximately 56% of provinces in Indonesia are at a high risk of stunting. Sulawesi Barat has the highest RR for stunting followed by Nusa Tenggara Timur dan Papua Barat. In contrast, Jakarta has the lowest RR of stunting followed by Sulawesi Utara and Sumatera Selatan. Government should pay more attention to areas that are most at high risk of stunting.

Analisis Permasalahan Pembangunan Infrastruktur Jalan: Studi Kasus Perencanaan dan Pelaksanaan di Provinsi Papua Barat

Roads are the fastest growing infrastructure compared to other infrastructure in various countries, including Indonesia. The road sector requires high investments to meet national development targets. For both local and central governments, infrastructure development should be a shared concern from planning to implementation. Specific transfer fund policies such as the Physical DAK (Special Allocation Funds) are an opportunity for regions to build road infrastructure better. This study aims to show the top-down and bottom-up planning portrait for the Physical DAK Road Sector and analyze field problems that have been strategic issues for regional development in the road infrastructure field. This study also shows the road infrastructure development problem through site visits to the sample locations, which the Papua Barat Province selected as one of the largest recipients of the DAK Physical budget in Indonesia. The research method uses a mixed-method approach through gap analysis based on literature studies of RKP (Government Work Plan) and RKPD (Local Government Work Plan) in 34 provinces in Indonesia, questionnaires, and site visits. Based on the planning gap analysis results (RKP-RKPD in all the provinces throughout Indonesia), only 3 (three) provinces did not include the Road Sector activity menu from the DAK allocation in their RKPD, namely Papua Barat, Sulawesi Tengah, and Sumatera Utara. The analysis results also show that 24 provincial RKPDs are 100 percent following the DAK content in the RKP, 5 (five) provinces only set 66 percent, and 2 (two) of the province set 33 percent. In the case study location in Papua Barat related to Physical DAK for Road Sector Assignments context, the Papua Barat RKPD document in 2019 does not yet fully have a specific plan following the DAK activity menu. In the implementation aspect, there were also many problems related to regulation and governance that required more attention, both top-down and bottom-up.

A revision of Lycianthes (Solanaceae) in Australia, New Guinea, and the Pacific.

The genus Lycianthes (Dunal) Hassl. (Solanaceae) has in the past been treated as a section of the large genus Solanum L., but is more closely related to Capsicum L. The eighteen species of Lycianthes occurring in Australia, New Guinea (defined as the island of New Guinea, comprising Papua New Guinea [incl. Bougainville] and the Indonesian provinces of Papua Barat and Papua, plus the surrounding islands connected during the last glacial maximum) and the Pacific Islands are here treated in full, with complete descriptions, including synonymy, typifications and synonyms, distribution maps and illustrations. The history of taxonomic treatment of the genus in the region is also discussed. These taxa occupy a diverse range of forested habitats, and are in diverse in habit, from small shrubs to large canopy lianas to epiphytic shrubs. They are for the most part rarely collected, and many are endemic (14 of the 18 species treated here). Australia has a single endemic Lycianthes species (L.shanesii (F.Muell.) A.R.Bean). Nine species are found in both Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, one in Indonesia only, four in Papua New Guinea only, and L.vitiensis (Seem). A.R.Bean is known from Bougainville (Papua New Guinea) and the south Pacific as far east as Samoa. Lyciantheslucens S.Knapp sp. nov. is described from the islands of Lihir, New Ireland and the Louisiade Archipelago of Papua New Guinea. The cultivated L.rantonnetii (Carrière) Bitter is also treated in full, in this region known currently only from Australia; it is native to southern South America. Preliminary conservation assessments are presented for all species except the cultivated L.rantonnetii.

Students’ Perceptual Experience on Using Video in Learning English Vocabulary

Learning a language requires a large range of vocabulary in its language to position a learner on the communication level. Consequently, teaching vocabulary is spotted as important since it is becoming a key component of language proficiency and as basis of learners to develop their listening, speaking, reading and writing. Media in teaching vocabulary becomes significant as media existence is to help teachers to deliver the topic and help learners to easily understand the topic. There are many types of media available, and video is one of them. The recent study focuses on students’ perceptual experience on using video in learning English vocabulary at the 10th grade students of SMA Oikoumene in Manokwari, Papua Barat Province, and the hindrance faced by students. Therefore, to meet the aims, a questionnaire and an open-ended question were employed to collect the data from 23 participants filled the questionnaire and 10 participants interviewed. There were 20 items on the questionnaire which grouped into three themes namely general information related to the use of video in learning vocabulary, using video support students’ learning, and video motivate students. The data presented that the score of each theme was 3.00 which categorized as positive, and the biggest obstacle faced by students were the unstable internet networking and run out of credit. Finally, the use of video in teaching English at SMA Oikoumene Manokwari has to be kept up due to support and motivate students learning.

Coral disease on fungiidae at Sop Island, Sorong, Papua Barat

This research is located at Sop Island, Sorong, West Papua. The data was collected using the Belt Transect method, stretching a line for 50 meters with a width of vision for 2.5 meters to the left and 2.5 meters to the right. The depth of the transect is 5 meters, recorded all genera from Family Fungiidae. Five genera were found on The Sop Island, namely Ctenactis, Fungia, Herpolitha, Polyphyllia, and Sandalolitha, but only Ctenactis, Fungia, and Sandalolitha were found on the three sites of observation. Fungia is the most abundant genera found at Sop Island. So, however, the study also found many unhealthy symptoms that infected Fungia. Of the three observation sites, six categories of unhealthy coral are found: Tissue Loss - non-predation - Coloured Band Disease, Tissue Discoloration - White, Tissue Discoloration non-white, Compromised Health Growth Anomalies, and Unknown. The most common categories infected with the Fungiidae at Sop Island are Tissue Loss - non-predation - Coloured Band Disease, Tissue Discoloration - White. Agonizingly, researchers found coral disease at every site.

LEVEL OF SERVICE (L.O.S) ANALYSIS: A CASE STUDY IN JALAN DRS. ESAU SESA, MANOKWARI DISTRICT, WEST PAPUA PROVINCE

Jalan Drs. Esau Sesa is a non-shared two-way connecting road owned by the Manokwari Regency Government, Papua Barat Province. This road is the main road that connects districts with a road width of + 6 meters. The rapid development of land use along with Drs. Esau Sesa has the potential to reduce road service levels. Field observations showed that commercial activities are high in this area. Thus, the traffic activities and parked vehicles are also high, exceeding the facility's capacities. This condition is one of the causes of traffic jams on the road. Based on the data analysis results, Jalan Drs. Esau Sesa has a Road Capacity (C) of 2,061 vehicles/hour with a Free Flow Velocity (FV) of 45,315 Km/hour and a Degree of Saturation (DS) of 0.808. These results are equivalent to the Level of Service (L.O.S) at level D which means traffic flow on Jalan Dr. Esau Sesa began to become unstable, with low traffic jams with creeping currents and vehicle volumes approaching maximum capacity.

GEOLOGY OF TEMBUNI AREA AND SURROUNDINGS IN BINTUNI REGENCY, WEST PAPUA PROVINCE

Administratively, the study area is located in Tembuni and surrounding area District of Bintuni Papua Barat Province. Geographically located at coordinates 01 ° 47 '00 "latitude - 01 ° 50' 00" latitude (south latitude) and 133 ° 54 '00 "E - 119 ° 57' 00" (East Longitude). The method used for the study is the collection of field data and geological mapping of the surface by recording at each station, taking rock samples for petrographic analysis is then performed based on the data processing is done. The purpose of this study was to obtain geological information in the form aspect of geomorphology, stratigraphy, structural geology, historical geology and extractive potential in the area of further research conducted geological map-making research areas based on four aspects. The research area is divided into three geomorphological units, namely the denudational geomorphological unit with weak-strong waves (D1), the denudational geomorphological unit with strong waves-hills (D2), and the denudational plains unit (D5). The stratigraphy of the study area is divided into two (2) rock units and one (1) sediment, based on lithostratigraphy in order from oldest to youngest, namely: Mudstone Unit, conglomerate unit, and Alluvium and littoral deposits unit. The structure of the research area only found geological structures that developed in the form of a joint secondary structure. The excavated materials found in the research area are excavated materials in the form of rocks originating from alluvial deposits found along the Mogoi Baru village, which are then used as building materials.

Characterization of Cones and Seeds of Damar (Agathis labillardieri) from Plantation in Klasaman, Sorong

Damar (Agathis labillardieri) is endemic species to New Guinea, occurring naturally in Papua and West Papua Province, Indonesia. The species is economically valuable due to its resin and wood. This research aimed to study the cones and seeds characteristics of A. labillardieri collected from Sorong Nature Park at Klasaman, Sorong, Papua Barat. The characteristics observed included cone size and weight, number of scales, empty and filled seed, and seed moisture content. The germination test was also performed. Although the stands could produce cones, not all scales contained seeds, and not all seeds were filled seeds. On average, 53 filled seeds per cone or only 50.3 ± 5.7% of the total seeds found as filled seeds. The seed was characterized as a recalcitrant seed with high moisture content and rapid germination. On average, the seed moisture content was 38.9%, with an average germination time of four days. The combined factors that may contribute to the low natural regeneration of A. labillardieri are low filled seeds, seed sensitivity to desiccation, and high mortality in newly emerging seedlings during recruitment. Therefore, facilitating the forest floor for immediate germination of recalcitrant seeds as in A. labillardieri is suggested. Keywords: Agathis labillardieri, filled seed, germination, natural regeneration, recalcitrant seed

The analysis of coastline changes of maruni beach in Manokwari during 1995-2021 period

The coastal area of Maruni at Manokwari Regency is known for its potential as a fish-producing area, industry, settlements, ports, and others. However, some parts of Maruni coastal areas have been damaged due to the development. The coastal area experienced changes caused by both natural processes and human activities. The presence of natural and artificial processes in coastal areas results in accretion and abrasion. The dynamics of oceanographic pressures such as sea tidal, sea waves, ocean currents, and tides occurring in the Maruni Beach area cause changes in the movement of sediments affecting the coastal area. Continuous changes can be a threat to Maruni coastal line as the Trans Papua Barat Road passed this route. This research was conducted with the aim to quantify the rate of coastline changes and oceanographic dynamics of Maruni coastal line at the south part of Manokwari Regency, Papua Barat Province from 1995 to 2021. The utilization of remote sensing interpretation method from Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 8 OLI, and oceanographic data providers (BIG, ECMWF) accommodated data source. The analysis result concluded that changes in the coastline at Maruni Coastal line during the 1995-2021 period predominantly encountered abrasion. The magnitude rate of change experienced a very small accretion, but was replaced by a very high abrasion event that occurred during two observation periods between 1995-2021.

Coral Reef Damage Caused by The Indinurmatalia07 Grounding in Cross-over Reef, Lemon Island of Manokwari Papua Barat Province

The cargo ship, Indi Nurmatalia07, ran aground on 07 August, 2021 at 23.00 at ‘Cross Over’ reef in the Dorery Bay – Manokwari. The interim report revealed that the ship’s officer was not able to control the ship when it left Manokwari port due to bad weather condition when the ship left at 19.00. However, report on the cause of bad weather was doubtful because the distance between the port of Manokwari and the incident site is only about 500m. The vessel was later freed from the reef on 10 August 2021 at 19.00 after disembarking shipload. An initial quantitative assessment of damages was conducted by a local team within the grounding site. Four line transect surveys were conducted, each 25m in length and 2m in width, positioned in the left and right of the damaged and undamaged area. Our initial results demonstrated that a total area of 717,02m2 has been damaged by the cargo ship. The type of coral reef formation is patch reef with medium diversity of coral species (mainly genus Acropora, Pocillopora, Coeloseris, Millepora, and Goniopora) and coral cover. Cross over reef has a shallow reef top (between 3-10m depth), slopes down to at least 25m. The reef is subject to high velocity current that might be unsuitable for coral planula to settle permanently. Coral structures were partly crushed and fractured at the edge of the damaged area but totally damaged in central part. The central damaged site has lost remarkable bottom coral structure and diversity from at least 5 different coral genera. By using a comparison study conducted on ship groundings, the Provincial government would sue the cargo ship and insurance company to pay environmental losses due to environmental based on a calculation which considered damage in relation to the ecosystem, economy, society and ecosystem rehabilitation referring to PerMen LH No. 7/2014.

Hand Preference and Creativity of Papua University Student

Human has a preference to use their hands for various manual activities. Left-handed preference is people who tend to use their left hand to perform various manual activities, while right-handed people tend to use right-handed. Any researches show that the left-handed preference for more creativity was influenced by the dominant use of the right brain and bigger corpus callosum. The research aims to determine the percentage of left-handed preference and their creativity in Universitas Papua, Manokwari Papua Barat. The method used in this research is the descriptive method. Data collection used a questionnaire to evaluate individual hand preference using Handedness Questionnaire and to determine individual creativity using Adjective Check List. The percentage of left-handed people in UNIPA were 9.3% or lower than right-handed and higher than ambidextrous. Our study supports the statement about selection in handedness in the traditional society which showed a higher percentage of left-hander as advantages related to using hand intensively. The percentage of left-handed males and females was almost equal and strongly left-handed was higher in females. The percentage of creative people was higher in left-handed, especially in males

The role of the introduced rusa deerCervus timorensisfor wildlife hunting in West Papua, Indonesia

AbstractThe rusa deer has been introduced to Merauke region and later to Vogelkop Peninsula in Indonesian New Guinea (West Papua) in 1928. It has widely dispersed across much of the West Papuan lowlands, but little is known on population size and its role for the livelihoods of rural communities. Here, our aim was to assess the population status of rusa deer, and to investigate the extent of hunting practices on this mammal in West Papua.We conducted camera trapping and line transect surveys simultaneously to estimate rusa deer population abundance in the Kwoor basin of the Tambrauw regency, Papua Barat province, Indonesia. We also interviewed hunters (n = 134), informants (n = 9) and households (n = 91) to assess hunting patterns and socioeconomic importance of rusa deer across 15 districts of the Tambrauw regency.We estimated rusa deer density within a 48‐km2forested area at 10.34 (5.36–19.98) and 21.04 individuals/km2using line transect andN‐mixture modelling approach using camera trapping data, respectively. Both density estimates are considerably higher than those from its native range in Java and Bali (0.08 individual/km2). Almost 92% of hunters reported that they hunted rusa deer in their traditional forests, being the most frequent amongst the 18 hunted species, particularly for commercial (62%) and subsistence (38%) purposes.Our results suggest that traditional hunting has become a significant livelihood activity and important income source in the study area. It is therefore imperative to identify potential management strategies on wildlife hunting while also considering that the high densities of introduced rusa deer may potentially exert adverse effects on native flora and fauna.This study further suggests that traditional knowledge (locally called ‘sasi’ system) and wildlife taboos still govern wildlife hunting and utilization of forest resources in West Papua, and these need to play a role in integrated community‐based wildlife management.

SECTORAL AND HOME COUNTRY DISTRIBUTION OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN INDONESIA

This study investigates the distribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) across Indonesian economic sectors and home countries. Using descriptive statistics analysis of secondary data, the result shows that on average, FDI dominated the share of total investment, while domestic investment (DI) led the number of projects in Indonesia. FDI and DI mostly inflow to the chemical and pharmaceutical industry which is a part of manufacturing industries. The largest contributions of total FDI share come from Singapore and Japan. Investors from Japan reached the largest share of investment while investors from Singapore dominated the number of projects across Indonesian regions. Singapore reached the highest FDI share in Banten, Jakarta, Jawa Timur, Kalimantan Barat, Kalimantan Selatan, Kalimantan Tengah, Kepulauan Riau,Riau, Maluku Utara, Papua Barat, Sulawesi Utara, Sulawesi Barat, Sulawesi Selatan, and Sumatera Utara. Japan experienced the highest FDI in Jawa Barat and Jawa Tengah. This study can map the preference of investors from each home country. Investors from Australia and Mauritius mostly preferred to invest in the coal mining sector. Investors from Japan mostly preferred transport-related industries especially the industry of spare parts and accessories for four or more wheel motor vehicles. Investors from Singapore mostly selected telecommunication industries. Investors from South Korea mostly preferred to invest in plastic-related industries and processing industries. Some Investors from China invested in the electricity industry. Many investors from France also invested in the water supply sector. And Investors from the Republic of China mostly preferred to invest in the pulp, paper, and paperboard industry. The Indonesian Government needs to concern about the general characteristics of investors in home countries in attracting foreign investors. For policy purposes, knowing such characteristics provides scientific reasons for a government to have distinct strategies between different targeted home countries in order to attract foreign investors.

Kajian Ekonomi Subsektor Peternakan di Kawasan Sulampua (Tahun 2014-2019)

Animal Husbandry has an important role in accelerating the growth of agriculture sector as a part of food security. However, this subsector is considered gaining not much priority as other subsectors in agriculture sector, particularly in ten provinces in Sulampua (Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua) region. Generally, the economic growth of this subsector in those provinces have fluctuated from 2014 to 2019 and its contributions to Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) for both farming sector and the total GRDP by province are significantly small. Two purposes of this study are to describe the challenges of animal husbandry in Sulampua (the population of livestock, the economy’s growth of animal husbandry and based-area groups) and to gain analysis as early information for comparative advantages and the prospect of livestock market for subsector. Data used in this study is from BPS-Statistic Indonesia consisting of GRDP by province, the farms’ farmer trade, and the total population of livestock. This study uses descriptive analysis namely Klassen Typology, Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift Share Analysis (SSA). According to Klassen Typology, the animal husbandry in Maluku Utara, Papua and Papua Barat have been relatively less developed. The result of LQ is livestock in five provinces excluding South Sulawesi is a leading sector while the result of SSA reveals that the animal husbandry in three provinces (Sulawesi Tenggara, Maluku and Papua Barat) have been relatively no comparative advantages in national level. In conclusion, the animal husbandry in provinces in Maluku and Papua have been growing slower than in Sulawesi.

The Relevance of Vocational Schools in Sorong City to Company and Industry Need in Papua Barat

The explosion of unemployment rate contributed by vocational schools outcomes had been the major issue becoming the background of this research. This research was aimed at describing the relevance of vocational schools’ curriculum in Sorong City to the company and industry need in Papua Barat Province. The researcher focused the study on investigating the relevance of tourism department’s curriculum to the need of tourism industries and companies based in Papua Barat Province. The research design was descriptive by applying qualitative method of research. Data collection techniques used were observation, interview, questionnaires, and documentations. Data were analyzed by following several steps, such as; data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusion and verification. The result of the research showed that the curriculum of tourism study program is not relevant to the need of tourism companies and industries. Most of the tourism workers are not graduated from vocational schools providing tourism study programs. Lack of productive teachers has been the main problem of curriculum development at the school. The ministry of education must produce more productive teachers for vocational schools. They must also be equipped with curriculum development skills.

Revision of the genera Habetia Kirby, 1906 and Parahabetia gen. nov. from New Guinea (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Conocephalinae, Agraeciini).

The genus Habetia Kirby, 1906 previously known from only four species or subspecies is revised based on unidentified specimens found in museum collections. H. multispinulosa Griffini, 1908 is given full species status, while H. pictifrons Karny, 1911 is removed from Habetia based on male and female characters and becomes the type species of the new genus Parahabetia gen. nov. Sixteen new species are described in Habetia, and one new species and two new subspecies in Parahabetia. The most significant characters for the differentiation of species of Habetia are male tenth abdominal tergite, cerci, subgenital plate, and male internal genitalia with the titillators that basically form a pair of roughly U-shaped sclerites that vary between species from simple, curved sclerites to modified structures with additional sclerotized branches and the sclerites can be connected with septa to form complex shapes. In contrast, males of Parahabetia have elongate titillators provided at end with a crest. In the larger species of Habetia the stridulatory file on the underside of the male left tegmen has a step in pre-apical area that is missing in the smaller species; one species with a weak step is intermediate between both groups. Unique modifications of single species in Habetia are an apical dorsal extension of the male subgenital plate in H. imitatrix Karny, 1912 and a hardened phallus sheath between phallus and subgenital plate in H. tuta sp. nov. Females of Habetia have straight ovipositors that vary in length and in the shape of the dorsal margin between species. Females can also be differentiated by species specific modifications of the subgenital plate. In Parahabetia the ovipositor is rather short and curved similar to the condition in the genus Philmontis Willemse, 1966 but has the apical area slightly recurved. Keys to the species of both genera are provided. Habetia species have been found throughout New Guinea except so far for Papua Barat; although they were mainly found in the North and the East. Parahabetia species are currently only known from the East of New Guinea. The following species and subspecies are described as new: Habetia bivittata sp. nov., H. curvata sp. nov., H. dentata sp. nov., H. elevata sp. nov., H. kondiu sp. nov., H. lalibu sp. nov., H. nigricauda sp. nov., H. pallida sp. nov., H. pedala sp. nov., H. pilleata sp. nov., H. pinnigera sp. nov., H. quatrispina sp. nov., H. simbai sp. nov., H. sororcula sp. nov., H. tuta sp. nov., H. wau sp. nov., Parahabetia bispinosa sp. nov., P. pictifrons obtusa ssp. nov., P. pictifrons acuta ssp. nov.

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Indonesian residents regarding COVID-19: A national cross-sectional survey

<p>Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection has been a major public health-related issue worldwide, including Indonesia. The COVID-19 cases still escalating until this study finished in June 2020 due to the disease positively spreading from person to person. To reduce the spreading of the disease, investigating Indonesian’s knowledge, attitudes, and practice on COVID prevention and mitigation during the outbreak period was crucial. A survey cross-sectional was conducted and using social networking apps to recruit participants. All Indonesian residents who have 18 years old and over and living in Indonesia during the COVID-19 outbreak were voluntarily invited to participate in this study. There are 3464 participants involved in this study. The mean age was 27.63 years, and mostly were women, domicile in Java, held bachelor degrees, students, Muslims, and single/never married. The lowest mean practices score was found among residents who live in Maluku, Papua, and Papua Barat, senior high qualification, unemployed, indigenous religions, and single/never married. The majority of Indonesian residents have good knowledge, positive attitudes, and good practice to promote COVID-19 prevention and mitigation to reduce the pandemic spreading within the country. However, there is a lack of knowledge, attitudes, and practice among a particular group of participants.</p>

Applying Location Quotient and Shift-Share Analysis in Determining Leading Sectors in Teluk Bintuni Regency

Economic growth is an important aspect that reflects the success of a country or region’s economic development. The changes of its driving sectors mainly influence the changes in economic growth. This study aims to identify the leading economic sectors and analyze the sectoral shifts of the Teluk Bintuni regency’s economy. The data used in this study is the Gross Regional Domestic Product of both Teluk Bintuni Regency and Papua Barat province in the period from 2010 to 2018. In determining the leading sectors and analyzing the sector using Location Quotient and Shift-Share analysis. The results suggested that the manufacturing and mining, and quarrying sectors were the base sectors of Teluk Bintuni’s economy. However, the result of Shift-Share analysis highlighted construction, education services, procurement of electricity and gas, and public administration, defense, and compulsory social security as competitive and progressive sectors during the same period. Policy implications of this study include evaluating and reformulating development strategies and programs and considering sectoral interconnection for further development planning.Keywords: Location Quotient, Shift-Share, Leading Sectors, Teluk Bintuni
