Used Cooking Oil Methyl Esther (UCOME) Production on a Pilot Scale in Bali Island, Indonesia, and Its Utilization as a Component Blending for Bio-Marine Fuel Oil

Abstract Indonesia aims to achieve a New & Renewable Energy mix of 23% by 2025, so it is necessary to have policies related to the use of complementary feedstocks in the biofuel development program in Indonesia. Used Cooking Oil (UCO) is a domestic waste with the potential to be utilized as a complementary feedstock due to its abundant availability and almost zero carbon emission. However, to assess the sustainability of UCO utilization, especially as a component blending for Bio-Marine Fuel Oil, it is necessary to identify UCO characteristics and quality of its product, called as UCOME, also the production cost impact. The 10,000 liters of UCO used as feed in the pilot-scale UCOME production came from the household sector and HoReCa (Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes). It was found that UCO had water content and %FFA ranging from 1421.03 - 1666.74 ppm and 1.7 - 15.9%. Furthermore, the UCOME produced has characteristics that comply with the standard of Marine Fuel Oil (MFO) ISO 8217 and SNI 7182 and has a price in the range of Rp.17,000 - 18,000. The results revealed that the UCO has the potential to be a feedstock for producing UCOME as a blending component for Bio-Marine Fuel Oil.

Social media influence on the promotion of sustainable fisheries management: Insight from Indonesian blue swimming crab

Abstract Blue swimming crab is one of potential fisheries commodities in Indonesia that has been mainly exported to America. Crab industry contributed to national economy due to high export volume and value.

Maternal Anxiety with Infant Pain During Immunization

Maternal and child health is still the target of health development programs in Indonesia. Immunization is important to prevent children from getting sick or even dying from certain diseases. The procedure for giving immunizations, most of which are by injection, is one of the reasons parents delay or even don't bring their children to be immunized because they can't bear to see their children cry. This study aimed to see the relationship between maternal anxiety and the pain felt by infant during immunization. This research method was a descriptive study with cross-sectional design and consecutive sampling technique. The study was conducted at the Pakuan Baru Health Center Jambi on 115 respondents consisting of mothers and infant (0-12 months) who received injection-type immunization. Maternal anxiety was measured using the DASS-21 questionnaire and the infant's pain was observed with the FLACC behavioral tool. The results of Spearman's rho analysis obtained a p-value of 0,0001 (p-value<0,05), which means that there is a significant relationship between maternal anxiety and the pain felt by infant during immunization with a strong correlation (r=0,625). We hope that the results of this study become a concern for health workers, to reduce maternal anxiety to decreases infant's pain and in the end can increase immunization coverage which has an impact on improving children's health status.

Comparative Effectiveness of Single Versus Combination Antihypertensive Therapy in PROLANIS Hypertension Patients: A Retrospective Study in Purbalingga Regency

The PROLANIS program in Indonesia aims to manage chronic diseases like hypertension. While combination antihypertensive therapy is recommended for many patients, evidence on its effectiveness in the PROLANIS setting remains limited. This study investigated the comparative effectiveness of single versus combination antihypertensive therapy in achieving blood pressure control among PROLANIS hypertension patients in Purbalingga Regency. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from PROLANIS hypertension patients in Purbalingga Regency from January-December 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups: those receiving single antihypertensive therapy and those receiving combination therapy. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients achieving blood pressure control (<140/90 mmHg). Secondary outcomes included changes in blood pressure, medication adherence, and adverse events. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounders. A total of 1,250 patients were included, with 680 receiving single therapy and 570 receiving combination therapy. The proportion of patients achieving blood pressure control was significantly higher in the combination therapy group (65%) compared to the single therapy group (52%) (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-2.20). Combination therapy was also associated with greater reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. No significant differences were observed in medication adherence or adverse events between the two groups. Combination antihypertensive therapy is more effective than single therapy in achieving blood pressure control among PROLANIS hypertension patients in Purbalingga Regency. These findings support the use of combination therapy as the preferred approach for managing hypertension in this population.

Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018: A Descriptive Analysis of Teacher Professional Development (TPD) in Indonesia

The Teacher Professional Development (TPD) program is a crucial strategy for enhancing teachers' knowledge and skills. The program includes activities that go beyond introducing instructional methods in the classroom and focus on improving teachers' abilities to communicate and collaborate with their peers, community of teachers, leaders, and school partners. There is a scarcity of research presenting TPD data from teacher representatives throughout Indonesia, particularly those using the 2018 TALIS questionnaire developed by the OECD. This mixed-method study collected TPD data from a survey of 410 elementary school teachers in Indonesia and interview data through the FGD method from 53 respondents, including teachers, principals, parent committees, and education offices from several cities in Indonesia. The study's results indicate that TPD programs in Indonesia require improvement and equal implementation both teachers in urban and suburban/rural area. The programs primarily focus on enhancing knowledge, instructional and institutional skills, including organic relationships with peers and school partners. Descriptive data analysis reveals that TPD programs should encourage cooperation and collaboration among teachers at local, national, and international levels. Recommendations for future research should analyze the effect of the TPD program integrated with the Merdeka Curriculum on teachers' committees. This will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the program.

Transparency of Regional Budget and Expenditure (APBD) through the Optimization of E-Budgeting Implementation

The implementation of budgetary reform in local government budgeting is often viewed as lacking a structured system. This is marked by low transparency and accountability in the management of local budgets. Financial management systems that contradict the principles of good governance necessitate transparency and accountability in all areas of government. The advent of e-budgeting is evidence of the utilization of e-government programs in Indonesia. E-budgeting is expected to be a solution for enhancing transparency and accountability in local budget management. With e-budgeting, the public can more easily access information about budget allocations and their usage. Public participation is also anticipated to increase, allowing for more effective oversight of local government budgets. This transparency not only supports the improvement of financial management at the local level but also contributes to the enhancement of public service quality. Therefore, the implementation of e-budgeting is expected to strengthen good governance and increase public trust in local governments. Active public participation and high transparency are key to realizing a more efficient and accountable local budget management system.

Cash Waqf Management for Education: Challenges, Solutions and Strategies

In Indonesia, the potential for funding educational initiatives through the empowerment of cash waqf is considerable, with estimates reaching up to IDR 120 trillion annually. As of March 2022, cash waqf collections amounted to IDR 1.4 trillion, a notable increase from the IDR 855 billion accumulated between 2018 and 2021. Despite this growth, cash waqf collections remain far below their potential, limiting their impact on educational empowerment. While various researchers have proposed strategies to address these obstacles, there is a paucity of research on an ideal model for empowering education through cash waqf in Indonesia. This study aims to develop a model for the empowerment of cash waqf specifically for educational programs in Indonesia. The research utilizes the Analytic Network Process (ANP) methodology, aided by Super Decision software, which is a decision-making method based on priority scales. The study conducts a synthesis analysis of problems, solutions, and strategies related to this issue. The findings indicate that both internal and external challenges affect the empowerment of cash waqf in education, with management being the primary concern. Relevant strategies include waqf policy enhancement, nazhir (waqf managers) training and empowerment, strengthening educational programs, and promoting cash waqf. An investment-based model, coupled with partnerships, scholarships, and educational initiatives, offers insights into the management of cash waqf, from collection processes to empowerment within the educational sector.

The Determinants for Policy Implementation: A Study of Public Service Mall Program in Indonesia

Research on policy implementation altered from building meta-theory towards explaining concerted action across institutional boundaries, the diversity of actors, loci, and levels. Current theory about factors determining the success of public policy implementation includes managerial, organisational, resources, bureaucracy, and politics. The establishment of Public Service Malls (PSM) in Indonesia is used as a case study to carry out this assessment because it represents a considerable challenge in the implementation process. This study aims to provide new perspectives about the determinants of successful public policy implementation, especially in a highly diverse political context such as Indonesia. This policy implementation involves several ministries at the central level and 540 local governments. This study uses an exploratory qualitative approach, and the data was collected through FGDs and in-depth interviews conducted with relevant ministries and local governments. The data is then analysed using NVIVO to find the structure of the concepts and themes according to the conceptual framework used. This research suggests that factors in policy implementation should be placed in a hierarchical order because they are determinants that cause other factors to emerge. In the case of implementing the PSM policy in Indonesia, the political factor becomes the determining factor, which is the highest position, followed by the bureaucracy, managerial, resources, and the organisational at the end

Evaluation the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Programme in Indonesia:

This study aims to evaluate the MBKM (Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka) Programme in Indonesia, describe sustainability, and challenges in implementing the programme. This research uses descriptive qualitative research by utilising data sources from books, articles, and related journals. The data collection technique was carried out by reviewing and analysing documents from several universities that have implemented the programme. The result of this study is that the universities that became the sample in the evaluation of MBKM implementation did not all implement the programme. Although there are universities that implement the programme, the percentage is still low. Therefore, universities need to do several things to improve it: 1) socialisation and inspire/motivate students to get involved in the programme. One of the strategies that can be anticipated to overcome the difficulties in producing outcomes that are aware of scientific and technological advances and able to compete in global progress is to design programme policies; 2) involve cooperation with several partners outside the college to equip students with MBKM programme experiences that are in accordance with student preferences; 3) colleges need to pay attention to the interests of students in implementing MBKM programmes, especially internship programmes that require extra funds. In addition, to support this programme, it is necessary to innovate learning models, collaborate with partners outside the campus, and adjust the study programme curriculum to be more adaptive in preparing graduates for the world of work.
