Sociolinguistic Representation of The Deli Java Community’s Culture in North Sumatra Province

The study explores the sociolinguistic aspects of language, particularly its impact on the interactions between Javanese and Malay tribes, which significantly influence each other. As a result of people moving from one place to another, there was interaction between the Javanese and Malay Deli communities, which was known as Javanese Deli or "Ja-del." This resulted in language contact and the emergence of new terminology as a result of the community's social interactions. In North Sumatra, there are Javanese and Malay communities. linguistic contact in Javanese and Malay societies gave rise to a variety of linguistic phenomena such as "language codes" and "symptoms of code switching and code mixing." Acculturation of Javanese and Deli Malay culture resulted in a blending of language comprehension and belief values in both parties' civilizations. This research approach employs a qualitative paradigm with 112 informants; however, for the sake of efficiency and accuracy, 60 sources were chosen based on expertise and character. This study explores The use of Javanese by people in Deli Serdang Regency, Serdang Bedagai Regency, Langkat Regency and Batubara Regency is gradually changing. Based on the recognition of the Javanese people, the language used in the Deli Serdang Regency, Serdang Bedagai Regency, Langkat Regency and Batubara Regency was originally pure Ngoko Javanese. The culture of the Javanese Deli community in North Sumatra Province contains a mixture of cultures that lead to globalization. When communicating, the speaker conveys the speaker's speech using Indonesian (BI) and a foreign language (BA) with no intervention from each speaker.

A sample size of 150 was considered, adopting the stratified random sampling technique. The result was analyzed using SPSS and the findings are presented in tables and charts. The findings of the study revealed there is a good interaction in Peyi Community Park between people from different social and cultural backgrounds hence the aim of social interaction in the community park was met but about 60% decry poor availability of basic amenities, inadequate spaces provided as well as lack of privacy and overall poor security Architecture in the park. The study concluded that it is necessary for Architects and other building professionals involved in community park designs to consider innovative ways of ensuring safety at night through the use of motion sensitive lighting systems and other passive measures, design consideration for end users and also design to accommodate anticipated population including provision of age appropriate facilities.

Factors impacting on childhood nutrition: The experience of mothers in a rural Ghanaian community

Despite globally recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, inadequate Child feeding remains a global challenge and the root cause of undernutrition. Most mothers who primarily feed children in most developing settings appear to have received information on the IYCF practices. We explored mothers' limitations to provide children optimally in a rural Ghanaian community. We interviewed 42 family members, including parents and grandparents of thirty-two children under five years, from fifteen households using an ethnographic fieldwork approach. We observed and participated in food preparation and child feeding and interviewed religious leader, diviners. Households' decision-making arrangements, mothers, emerging roles and inconsistency of fathers' roles, competing sources of knowledge poverty, food insecurity and the nature of the community's social interactions and policing of women's child feeding practices are issues mothers have to navigate to feed children in the study community. Cultural custodians should be given child nutrition and providing information. Mothers should be empowered to manage child feeding and emerging roles.

How The Social Interactions in Communities affect the Fear of Crime

AbstractFear of crime (FoC) refers to the subjective risk assessment of being a crime victim and the magnitude of its consequences. FoC emerges as a social construct, which is highly dependent on various psychological, cultural, and social factors. Mathematical models for the emergence and diffusion of information related to FoC relies on sequential and random interactions among persons. However, these interactions seem to be simultaneous and conditioned to members of particular social groups. Recent evidence suggests that in other spreading phenomena, the topology of the underlying network that supports individual communication may influence the community member's opinions. This paper studies how the FoC changes with preferential interaction between persons defined by a network with community structure. These particular networks are typical of many unequal societies. The results indicate that even if these supporting structures allow efficient communication, in the case of FoC propagation, this particular structure may promote an isolation effect of the FoC for the different communities. This isolation effect is higher for communities with low susceptibility to crime. Therefore, groups with low susceptibility to crime have higher feelings of security than groups with high susceptibility to crime when considering interactions in communities.

Responding to the Drought: A Spatial Statistical Approach to Investigating Residential Water Consumption in Fresno, California

Using data from the 2015 Residential Water Consumption Survey, this study examines residential water-use behavior and attitudes after the recent drought in Fresno, California. Spatial autoregressive models of residential water consumption were estimated, accounting for the effects of social interactions in communities (i.e., neighborhood effects), while controlling for indoor and outdoor house attributes, economic conditions, and attitudes toward water uses. The findings show that the spatial autocorrelations do exist. This suggests that the neighborhood effects can be a useful lever to facilitate initiatives aiming at promoting community engagement on water-saving practices. The results also indicate that a larger house tends to incur more water use, so does the presence of pools. Using a drip irrigation system for watering the backyard can help reduce water consumption. Medium income families turn out to use the least amount of water among different income groups, suggesting that water-saving policies may yield different results among residents of various income levels. Interestingly, respondents who considered themselves heavy water users actually used less water. This implies that the awareness of water importance can significantly influence residents’ water-use behavior and therefore the promotion of a water-saving culture can help reduce residential water consumption.

CRATS: An LDA-Based Model for Jointly Mining Latent Communities, Regions, Activities, Topics, and Sentiments from Geosocial Network Data

Geosocial networks like Yelp and Foursquare have been rapidly growing and accumulating plenty of data such as social links between users , user check-ins to venues , venue geographical locations , venue categories , and user textual comments on venues . These data contain rich knowledge on the user's social interactions in communities, geographical mobility patterns between regions, categorical preferences on activities, aspect interests in topics, and opinion expressions for sentiments. Such knowledge is essential for two key applications, namely, text sentiment classification and venue recommendations, which will be developed in this paper. To extract the knowledge from the data, the key task is to discover the latent communities , regions , activities , topics , and sentiments of users. However, these latent variables are interdependent, e.g., users in the same community usually travel on nearby regions and share common activities and topics, which renders a big challenge for modeling these latent variables. To tackle this challenge, in this study, we propose an LDA-based model called CRATS that jointly mines the latent Communities, Regions, Activities, Topics, and Sentiments based on the important dependencies among these latent variables. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to jointly model these five latent variables. Finally, we conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation for CRATS in different applications, including text sentiment classification and venue recommendations, using three large-scale real-world geosocial network data sets collected from Yelp and Foursquare. Experimental results show that CRATS achieves significantly superior performance against other state-of-the-art techniques.
