Changing generational tides: the transformation of electoral participation in European Parliament elections

Electoral turnout has been declining in nearly all Western democracies. While scholars have identified the ‘negative’ effects of generational replacement and forecasted how turnout will continue to decline, the turnout in the 2019 European Parliament election surged to its highest participatory level in the last two decades, driven surprisingly by increased youth participation. This age-period-cohort study investigates whether and to what extent younger generations socialised in changing electoral contexts turn out at different levels than their generational counterparts. Analysing survey data from the EES and the CSES across 28 European countries over decades reveals a reversing generational participatory pattern in EP elections and a narrowing turnout gap between national and European Parliament elections across younger generations, despite differences in Western and Eastern Europe. These results have important implications for the effect of generation on turnout and future trends of electoral participation.

The Role of Participatory Budgeting Management in Reducing the Budget Slack in an Islamic Education Institution

This study aims to explore participatory-based budgeting procedures and their role in reducing budgetary slack in Islamic boarding schools. Using a qualitative approach, the research method was conducted at a pesantren-based madrasah in the City of Kudus involving foundation administrators, school principals, leaders, teachers, and plan participants. Primary and secondary data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were then analyzed using descriptive analysis. The findings of this study reveal that budgeting in Islamic boarding schools is based on participatory budgeting. Bottom-up budgeting is done from the lowest unit in the organization. The lower unit is the party with a deeper understanding of the smallest practical problems. Having the same responsibility for preparing the budget, lower units are expected to allocate budget items proportionally. Even though we hope that the participatory pattern will not cause slack, the facts show the potential for budgetary slack. This relaxation occurred because of a conservative attitude to anticipate uncertain conditions.

Catchment Area in Health Services: Studies in Kasembon and Pujon Subdistricts, Malang Regency

This study aims to analyze the application of health services in Kasembon and Pujon Districts in Malang Regency based on the catchment area perspective, as well as analyze the challenges of the practice of accessing health services. With the background of service improvement efforts that have been done a lot, but in fact, the accessibility is very difficult or even impossible to change. This study uses a qualitative method with a soft system methodology (SSM) approach. The data processing of the findings is carried out through a comparison of real facts with alternative normative models so that they have the opportunity to generate improvement ideas. The results of the study show that there are still challenges in the form of weak access to health insurance, facilities, and human resources, quality standards of health services, the role of monitoring stakeholders, to patterns of community participation. This then resulted in 3 main points of concern to produce corrective action, namely the evaluation of the health care system, health service practice standards, and the accuracy of the health service program targets. This study recommends a top-down mechanism priority by optimizing the improvement of the quality of health service standards in Kasembon and Pujon by policymakers and bottom-up through a participatory pattern by optimizing local public service agencies (BLUD) through community synergy with various institutions and government at lower levels. for managing access to health services.

Social Capital and Social Trust: The State's Response in Facing the Spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia


 
 
 
 The main purpose of this study was to analyze the steps taken by the Indonesian government to implement different policies for its fight against COVID-19. The Indonesian government has taken various measures, most pertinently Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB), to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 cases. This study used a qualitative approach as a contextual study that sought to emphasize the meaning of a phenomenon in a COVID-19 pandemic situation. The purpose of qualitative research was to make a complex picture. Data analyzed were obtained from various sources, including the internet, such as online media and social media, and related literature. Data were collected utilizing the Ncapture for the Nvivo feature. The time taken for analysis was from March to May 2020. In conducting the analysis, this study also used Nvivo 12 Plus software. This research reveals that the government policies, most importantly Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB), triggered a decline in the public confidence. The increase in the number of positive cases of COVID-19 in various regions up to May 2020 has made government policies deemed not running optimally. Further, the crisis of confidence affects the community’s participatory pattern in combating the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Findings from this research suggest the need for a study on how government policies can work well and also supported by the public trust.
 
 
 

Investigating the Training Needs of Music Teachers in Primary Education: A Greek Case Study

The purpose of the current research is to examine the views of music teachers that work in primary education, regarding their training needs. With the investigation and emergence of their training needs, useful data occur for the design of effective training programs that focus on the coverage of the special training needs of these teachers. In this context, a quality research was designed and conducted in a sample of fifteen (15) music teachers in the Achaia district. The research data was derived from semi-constructed interviews and the results were analyzed with the method of thematic analysis. The sample music teachers wish to be trained to improve new technologies that refer to the music subject, their cognitive subject, in conducting the choir and the management of children with special needs. Music teachers are positive in creating a participatory pattern of organizing and conducting these training programs. As for the characteristics and the organizational parameters of the training, they prefer short training programs, live or distance learning, obligatory type that will be enriched with personalized and cooperative actions.

Membangun Indonesia Dari Daerah Dengan Penguatan Partisipasi Masyarakat

National development has a multidimensional goal, one of which is to realize a democraticIndonesian society, because with a more democratic condition, it allows the public to be more open toparticipate in development in all fields. The development of faster and more complex developmentdemands all components involved in the development process and democracy able to realize what isthe goal of national development.Community participation in the development process in Indonesia in general is currently very low. Thecommunity is still reluctant to engage in a continuous manner in the entire process of developmentplanning, implementation and evaluation carried out by the government. This low participation is aresult of government policies that are still lacking in providing space for every citizen to participate indevelopment. The implementation of the Development Planning Conference (Musrenbang) starting atthe village level up to the national level is considered by some as merely a serimonial process. Nationaldevelopment based on community empowerment will be realized if the government has a strong desireto implement it. The government encourages and provides opportunities for the public to be involved inthis participatory pattern. This pattern makes the community more empowered and participates inenjoying the cake of economic growth resulting from the development process that is carried out.Quality economic growth makes development carried out by the government together with allcomponents of the nation able to improve the welfare of society at large in accordance with what is thegoal of national development itself. National development balanced with active community participation or empowered communities will produce a force capable of realizing national goalsaccording to their goals. Encouraging community participation in developing Indonesia from theregions will be realized if the government has a good desire to implement it. The government mustencourage and provide opportunities for the public to be involved in this participatory pattern. Thispattern makes the community more empowered and participates in enjoying the cake of economicgrowth resulting from the development process that is carried out

Gerakan Percepatan Penganekaragaman Konsumsi Pangan (P2KP) Untuk Antisipasi Dampak Perubahan Iklim Pada Sektor Pertanian

Climate change causes changes in rainfall patterns that is high intensity rain in a short duration. This situation could threaten the agricultural sector which impacts on national food security and food fulfillment for each household. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce an effective strategy to meet household food needs through the P2KP movement in dealing with the threat of climate change. This community service aims to: (1) providing an understanding of climate change and its impact on the food agriculture sector to the community; (2) socializing the "P2KP movement" accompanied by a demonstration plot of the use of house yards for cultivation of vegetables in pots. These community service activities implement a participatory pattern, in which the target community was involved in every decision making both in preparing, implementing, and evaluating the program activities. The results of the community service activities shows that the target community's knowledge of climate change and its impact on the agricultural sector has been successfully improved. The P2KP movement has been socialized and received a positive response from the target community, then they a;ready known to optimizing the use of home yards for cultivation of plants in pots becomes an alternative agricultural system that is resilient in the face of climate change.

A set of patterns for the structured design of MOOCs

A design pattern approach, in the form of participatory pattern workshops, has been used to explore the design approaches that experts in the field of online learning have used to develop and deliver Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Over the course of 3 intensive workshops a total of 20 design patterns were developed from shared narratives of successful practice. These patterns describe solutions to problems that are contextualised to six design dimensions: structure; orientation; participation; learning; community and management. The validity of these patterns has been tested against novel design challenges. In this paper, we present the 20 design patterns as a scaffold for both novice and expert developers to build a MOOC and suggest that integrating design patterns into a simple iterative design cycle can provide a powerful course development approach.

Participatory pattern workshops: a methodology for open learning design inquiry

In order to promote pedagogically informed use of technology, educators need to develop an active, inquisitive, design-oriented mindset. Design Patterns have been demonstrated as powerful mediators of theory-praxis conversations yet widespread adoption by the practitioner community remains a challenge. Over several years, the authors and their colleagues have facilitated many workshops in which participants shared experiences, captured these as design narratives, extracting design patterns, and applied them to novel teaching challenges represented as design scenarios. This paper presents the core elements of the methodology that emerged from these workshops: the Participatory Patterns Workshops (PPW) methodology. Keywords: design patterns; design narratives; scenarios; workshops; methodology (Published: 30 August 2012) http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v20i0.19197

Trade, Treason, and the Murder of Janus Imperial

The written record begins with the discovery of a body and the supposition of an unsolved crime. “It happened,” in the laconic words of the coroner's inquest, “that a certain Janus Imperial of Genoa lay slain.” The murder had occurred the night before, on August 26, 1379, in St. Nicholas Acton Lane, before Imperial's London residence. Arriving to view the body, the coroner and sheriffs gathered a jury from among men of Langbourne and adjacent wards and set about to determine how and in what way this foreign merchant met his death.The jury's inquest was only the first step in an inquiry that would ultimately involve the mayor of London, the court of the king's bench, a second jury, the king and his council, and Parliament itself. So, too, did questions of motive and interest spool out from this seemingly random act to embrace the ambitions of London's mercantile elite, vicissitudes of royal finance, and the future and locus of the international wool trade. Starting with an apparent insufficiency of evidence, this investigation eventually found itself knee-deep in pertinent information, plausible motives, and likely suspects. Although it finally stumbled to a sort of stopping point, it never really achieved a satisfactory end.The original investigation offers suggestive analogies to the task of historical reconstruction. The would-be historian is, like the crime's contemporaries, challenged to arrange known details into a coherent narration—and, as new elements emerge, into revised renarrations. The historian's location outside the crime's own participatory pattern is one of weakness and strength.

"With Winges of Faith": Herbert's Communion Poems

At the heart of George Herbert's poetry lies the eucharistic Christ. Sacramental imagery and metaphor ever radiate from that center to construct one interlacing body of verse. As C. A. Patrides notes, Eucharist is the marrow of Herbert's sensibility.1 In H. Communion, Banquet, and Love (III), Herbert interprets the nature of the eucharistic experience proper. What emerges from these poems-and their echoes throughout The Temple-is a participatory pattern, a eucharistic blueprint. Collectively they narrate the full eucharistic experience, and the interpretation of that sacrament which they figure forth is closely allied to the eucharistic teachings of John Calvin. Albeit Herbert's poetry is not a precise exposition of anyone's doctrine, yet an understanding of Calvin's position on the Eucharist can lead to a fuller appreciation of the poetic activity of The Temple.2 European Protestantism, however influential on the early Reformed Church of England in matters of doctrine, failed in its own attempts to settle the question of Christ's presence in the Eucharist. English Protestantism, effecting reformation independently of Europe, formulated no specific doctrine of the Eucharist and soon fell heir to the Continental struggle for definition. Thomas Cranmer, whose liturgical genius largely determined the modus operandi of the early Reformed Church,
