Concentration of Particulate Matter and Air Humidity in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Human activities are predominantly conducted indoors, making it equally important to ensure good indoor air quality as it is to maintain outdoor air quality. The quality of indoor air is partly determined by the levels of PM2.5 (particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5μ m) and PM10 (particles with an aerodynamic diameter d ≤10 μm) and humidity. The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a space that must maintain high air quality because it is continuously occupied by pediatric patients and healthcare personnel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In this study, the indoor air quality in the PICU Arifin Achmad General Hospital (AAGH) in Riau Province, Indonesia, was observed using a descriptive observational study with a longitudinal and time-series design. The results of this study demonstrated that the PM2.5 levels decreased from 9.25 µg/m³ in the morning to 3.3 µg/m³ in the afternoon, whereas PM10 levels decreased from 17.7 µg/m³ in the morning to 7.8 µg/m³ in the afternoon. Additionally, the air humidity increased from 60.7% in the morning to 61.4% in the afternoon. In conclusion, the observations from this study indicated an increase in air humidity from morning to afternoon and the normal particulate matter levels.

KOREAN WAVE: PHILOSOPHY, EXISTENCE, PHENOMENON, AND RESPONSE OF YOUNG MUSLIM

This article analyzes the Korean wave, which is intensively entering the transnational market. Focusing on Korean dramas, which are mushrooming in Indonesia, previous studies only focused on the development of the Korean wave in the world. They only took into account the values contained therein. More than that, this research comes as a novelty with a discussion of young Indonesian Muslims who consume Korean dramas as active consumers. This research collaborates with young Muslims, most of whom consist of students, especially in Riau province, regarding the meaning of Korean dramas in Indonesia. This article attempts to answer the main questions, such as how young Muslims in Riau respond to interpreting the Korean dramas shown. Meanwhile, further questions, such as how the journey and development of Korean dramas are in the Indonesian context, are also asked. The author used a qualitative method to answer this question based on online interviews with 24 young Indonesian Muslims via a Google form link. Then, it will be analyzed using relevant previous literature. The research results show that young Muslims consume Korean dramas not only as passive recipients. Do not just watch it. More than that, they are also active consumers who are critical in learning, teaching new insights, and learning the Korean language and the good values contained therein. They appear as active consumers who can take lessons and even teach from the Korean dramas they watch.

The relationship between social entrepreneurship orientation, business planning, and competitive advantage on cooperative performance: Moderation of the socio-economic context

This study delves into the determinants influencing the efficacy of social enterprises, specifically cooperatives. This study aims to examine the interaction between social entrepreneurial orientation (SEO), strategic planning, and competitive advantage in shaping cooperative performance, accounting for the moderating influence of the socio-economic context. A population of cooperatives in Indargiri Hilir and Bengkalis regencies, Riau Province, Indonesia, served as the study’s focus. A sampling strategy was employed to distribute 500 questionnaires to cooperative managers. Of these, 298 were returned and analyzed using partial least squares (PLS). The findings corroborate a positive association between SEO and financial performance with a p-value of 0.000. Likewise, SEO affects competitive advantage and company planning (p-value 0.000). The exploration indicates no mediating role for business strategy in the relationship between financial performance and SEO, with a p-value of 0.136. However, strategic planning acted as a mediator in the relationship between SEO and social performance (p-value 0.011). Moreover, the findings show that SEO has a favorable influence on social performance through competitive advantage with a p-value of 0.000. Thus, the moderating role of socio-economic context on the relationship between SEO and financial performance can be proven with a p-value of 0.000, as well as on the relationship between business planning and financial performance with a p-value of 0.016. These empirical findings can inform policymakers’ strategic development of inclusive and sustainable policies that foster growth and resilience of cooperatives.

Evaluasi Kebijakan Penurunan Stunting di Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi

This study analyzes the evaluation of stunting reduction policies in Kuantan Singingi Regency, Indonesia, using William N. Dunn's policy evaluation theory. Stunting is a serious nutritional problem that impacts children's growth and development, especially in the first 1000 days of life. Although there has been a decrease in stunting prevalence in Riau Province, Kuantan Singingi Regency experienced an increase in stunting rates from 17.8% in 2022 to 23% in 2023, making it the highest in the province. The evaluation was conducted based on five criteria: effectiveness, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results showed that despite significant efforts in policy implementation, the target for reducing stunting prevalence has not been achieved, with communication between officers and the community still lacking. There is a shortage of skilled personnel and funds, and unequal access to health services. The policy provides a clear framework, but information about the program is still lacking in the community. The assumptions underlying the policy are quite strong, and positive impacts are starting to be seen, but challenges such as lack of training for officers remain. Overall, despite progress, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed to achieve the goal of reducing stunting effectively.
