Using social exchange theory to predict residents’ perspective on factors influencing tourism development in Pokhara

<p>Tourism development involves sustainably creating and managing destinations, products, and services that balance economic, social, and environmental factors while meeting visitor and local community expectations. The purpose of this study is to understand the local people’s perception of tourism development in Pokhara, Nepal. An explanatory research design is used to show the cause-and-effect relationship between variables. The research was conducted using Social Exchange Theory (SET). The data was examined using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The sample size was determined to be 403 using non-probability sampling. A structured questionnaire was designed to collect the data using the KOBO toolbox. Furthermore, the Structure Equation Model (SEM) was the analytical approach used to process the data. Results reveal a noteworthy relationship between independent variables (such as cultural impact, social impact, environmental impact, and economic impact) and dependent variables (support for tourism development). The major challenges in tourism development have been identified, including deficient infrastructure, suboptimal tourism strategies and implementation, and inadequate government oversight. Effective mitigation of these challenges necessitates the implementation of appropriate infrastructure and development initiatives, proficient governmental management, and a concerted effort to augment the quantity and quality of hotels and accommodations. The significance of cultural, social, environmental, and economic impact cannot be understated or overstated in the context of tourism development. Addressing major challenges, the study suggests focused efforts in enhancing infrastructure and development, adopting effective management practices, and augmenting the quantity and quality of hotels and accommodations.</p>

Penegakan Hukum Peraturan Daerah Nomor 11 Tahun 2015 Tentang Penyelenggaraan Reklame di Kabupaten Kendal Oleh Satuan Poisi Pamong Praja

In the business world, advertising plays a crucial role in the success of a company's marketing of goods and services. Billboards, banners, and advertising banners on the streets have become common as effective tools for introducing products or services to the public. This research employs a qualitative method with a focus on advertising enforcement by the Regional Police Unit in Kendal Regency. This approach allows for a direct relationship between the researcher and the respondents. The results indicate that the enforcement of advertising laws in accordance with Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2015 has been implemented. Preventive law enforcement methods are utilized, such as verbal warnings to individuals who violate regulations by placing advertisements in unauthorized locations. Despite effective law enforcement, there are still issues with some individuals not fully complying with the regulations. Some prohibited advertisements mandated by the government remain in place, indicating suboptimal implementation of these regulations. In such cases, non-compliant advertisements can be dismantled in accordance with the rules established in the Regional Regulation of Kendal Regency.

Legal Protection of Children of Narcotics Abusers with A Restorative Justice Approach

This thesis examines the involvement of children in narcotics crimes. This research aims to examine the suboptimal implementation of the Restorative Justice process for children who are perpetrators of narcotics crimes. The effectiveness of prison sentences for children who abuse narcotics is weakened when the responsibility for their rehabilitation is not borne by law enforcement officials. The problems in this research include two main questions regarding what existing regulations relate to legal protection for children involved in drug abuse and how the application of Restorative Justice methods can improve legal protection for children involved in drug abuse. The research methodology used in this research is normative juridical, with qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques. Research findings show that legal protection for children involved in drug abuse in Indonesia is realized through the implementation of the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law, the Narcotics Law, and the Child Protection Law. Problem solving for minors involved in drug abuse must be based on the principles of restorative justice, which emphasizes restoration of their original condition, and not imprisonment as a form of retaliation. From the perspective that the incorporation of a restorative justice framework must become an integral part of the criminal justice system, it is important to consider the restorative approach as a new paradigm that offers greater effectiveness compared to the punitive strategies used in dealing with cases of child drug abusers.

Karakteristik Pelayanan Gembala Jemaat Menurut 1 Petrus 5:1-4 dan Implementasinya Bagi GPdI Zion Altar Malang

The characteristics of effective pastoral service, as outlined in 1 Peter 5:1-4, entail that pastors are expected to serve as role models for the congregation. Peter expresses hope that these shepherds will be good leaders for the existing flock. Rather than following behind their sheep, pastors are to lead them. The objective of this research is to enable congregation leaders at the Pentecostal Church in Indonesia Zion Altar Malang (hereafter referred to as GPdI Zion Altar Malang) to implement the service characteristics of pastoral care according to 1 Peter 5:1-4. This is prompted by the suboptimal nature of the service characteristics of pastors in their oversight of local churches. The research, conducted using qualitative methods, involved data collection from several participants, including pastors and supporting servants involved in pastoral care at GPdI Zion Altar Malang. The findings of the research revealed issues such as poorly organized financial management, suboptimal implementation of teaching programs, and exacerbated by the absence of counselling services for congregation members grappling with issues in their faith journey. Pastors acknowledge the necessity of enhancing competency to realize the characteristics of pastoral care in accordance with God’s Word, particularly as outlined in 1 Peter 5:1-4, for the spiritual growth of congregation members.

Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Analisis Jabatan Dan Beban Kerja Berbasis Web Dengan Framework Codeigniter di Politeknik Perkeretaapian Indonesia Madiun

The rapid development of technology, especially in the fields of electronics and information technology, has provided various conveniences in various aspects of human life. Job analysis has a very important role in human resource management, namely improving organizational performance both in terms of productivity, service and quality to achieve the organization's main goals. This is reflected in several officers who do not match their skills and expertise with their workload, and there are still appointments to positions that meet the specified qualifications, both in terms of education level, rank, skill and experience. The application of job analysis in terms of job descriptions seems to be also experienced the same thing, namely not all the apparatus was placed as expected. Suboptimal implementation of job analysis turns out to have consequences for the performance of the apparatus. The results of this research produce information on positions and workload for each position, thereby assisting Management and Personnel in determining employee needs and employee recruitment. The application in this research was implemented using the PHP programming language and MySQL database.

Building and Development of Business Entries Owned by the Village in Sumedang District West Java Province

Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) are established as a manifestation of the government's commitment to fostering self-reliance and bolstering the local economy. However, it is evident that not all BUMDes have effectively initiated and executed commercial endeavors, thus failing to yield desired economic outcomes. This underscores suboptimal implementation of coaching and development initiatives. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. For this reason, the research location was determined in Sumedang Regency with a case sample of 4 (four) BUMDes in different sub-districts which represent BUMDes qualifications, namely pioneer, beginner, developing and advanced. Data was collected through interview techniques, observation and documentation and then analyzed qualitatively. The formulation of BUMDes development and development strategies is carried out through SWOT analysis. The research findings indicate that the reasons for the inactivity and lack of development among many BUMDes in Sumedang Regency include: (1) low human resource capacity; (2) weak legal aspects; (3) insufficient institutional relationships; (4) the formation of BUMDes often driven by formalistic reasons; and (5) limited marketing networks. Effective strategies for BUMDes development should encompass: (1) human development through enhancing human resource capacities; (2) enterprise development through promoting village potential, facilitating cooperation and partnerships, strengthening marketing networks via digital marketing; (3) environmental development through mapping natural resource-based village enterprises; and (4) institutional development through optimizing the implementation of regulations concerning villages and BUMDes, collaboration in nurturing and developing BUMDes, facilitating BUMDes legality, reinforcing village consultations, and strengthening institutional relationships of BUMDes.

Tank Cleaning Process Optimization For Loading Tanks MT Bauhinia Guna Cargo Change

Suboptimal implementation of tank cleaning will produce suboptimal results and can affect loading failure. These less than optimal results are influenced by several things. Tank Cleaning is a tank cleaning carried out on a tanker which serves to reduce the risk of damage to the cargo. Wall wash test is a tank cleanliness test for chemical tankers after completing tank cleaning. In the loading process, chemical tankers must prepare their loading tanks in accordance with the correct procedures. In every process of preparing this tank must always pay attention to the standards that have been determined from the surveyor or based on IMO (International Maritime Organization). When the Chemical ship will load, the ship's tank will be checked by the cargo surveyor, if there is dirt or residual cargo before the ship can be declared a failure in the tank cleaning process and as a result the ship will be ordered out of the Jetty, ordered to re-clean. This causes company losses because there will be delays in the loading and discharging process of the ship and the company gets complaints from the charter party. The method used to carry out the research is descriptive qualitative. Cutting the time for tank cleaning can result in poor tank cleaning results, poor quality materials also result in less than optimal results, and equipment that lacks maintenance will result in less than optimal tool performance. When the Chemical ship will load, the ship's tank will be checked by the cargo surveyor, if there is dirt or residual cargo before the ship can be declared a failure in the tank cleaning process and the ship will be ordered out of the Jetty and ordered to re-clean. This causes losses to the company because there will be delays in the loading and discharging process of the ship and the company can get complaints from the charter party. The success or failure of tank cleaning and wall wash tests depends on the discipline of the crew, adequate tools and materials, and procedures that are carried out properly.

Fostering Prisoners in the Correctional System in Indonesia

The correctional system is an order regarding the direction and limits and ways of fostering correctional prisoners based on Pancasila, which is carried out in an integrated manner between the coach, the fostered, and the community to improve the quality of correctional prisoners so that they realize their mistakes, improve themselves, and do not repeat criminal acts so that they can be accepted back by the community, can actively participate in development, and can live reasonably as good and responsible citizens. However, the quality of the implementation of the correctional system is not optimal and is still in the public spotlight. The suboptimal implementation of the correctional system has an impact on the quality of treatment of detainees and prisoners, as well as the emergence of tactical problems that then surface. Various problems such as riots in prisons, drug trafficking networks controlled from within prisons, the growth of radical ideas, service discrimination, overcrowded, and others are very disturbing in achieving the objectives of the correctional system. This research is normative juridical in nature. This research focuses on examining the application of rules or norms in terms of theoretical, principles, conceptions, legal doctrines and the content of positive legal rules. The approaches used in this research and dissertation research are conceptual approach, statute approach, comparative approach and case approach. The results of this research, the development of prisoners can be through policy programs that include, assimilation and social reintegration. In addition, also through revitalization. Revitalization of Correctional Implementation is an effort to optimize the implementation of the correctional as a form of treatment of detainees, prisoners and clients as well as protection of ownership rights to evidence.

Implementation Of Population Administration Policy (Study of Incoming Move-in Registration Residents in Katapang sub-district, Bandung Regency)

This research is driven by the observed shortcomings in the effective implementation of policies related to population administration, particularly concerning the registration of migrants. The research background highlights the following identified problems:1. The inquiry into the execution of population policies in the data migration process of residents within Katapang Sub-District, Bandung Regency.2. Examination of the factors influencing and supporting the resettlement process in Katapang District, Bandung Regency.3. Evaluation of the efforts made by the Katapang District regarding the transfer of registrations from residents within the district.The research employs the policy implementation theory of George C. Edwards III, encompassing Communication, Resources, Disposition, and Bureaucratic Structure. Based on this theoretical framework, the researchers posit the following propositions: the optimal execution of the Policy on the Implementation of Population Administration involves considerations of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure dimensions.The chosen research method is descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data is gathered through literature review, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings of this study reveal suboptimal implementation of policies related to population administration, particularly in the registration of migrants by the Katapang District, Bandung Regency.

On the effectiveness of developer features in code smell prioritization: A replication study

Code smells are sub-optimal design and implementation choices that hinder software maintainability. Although significant progress has been achieved in code smell detection, numerous results are perceived as trivial by developers. In response, a code smell prioritization approach capturing developer features has been proposed by a prior study (MSR’20), and it outperformed a code metric baseline (KBS). The conclusion was validated on a dataset collected from original developers, which includes their comments on code smell priority. However, the low presence of developer aspects in the comments is inconsistent with the performance improvement after involving such features. To explain the inconsistency, we replicate the two studies by exploiting different feature selection methods and a model explanation technique called SHAP. Our major findings are: (i) Correlation-based Feature Selection should not be used as a default method since it could harm Krippendoff’s Alpha by up to 72%, (ii) if better feature selection is applied, pure code metrics from KBS outperform the MSR features in 3 smells by up to 45% in Alpha, and (iii) the behavior of code metrics based models have more agreement with developers’ comments. We suggest exploiting different feature selection methods and using code metrics to prioritize the 3 change-insensitive smells.

Decoupling REDD+ understanding of local stakeholders on the onset of materializing carbon credits from forests in Nepal

REDD+1 is an economic incentivizing mechanism aimed at reducing or offsetting of carbon emissions in forests, while realizing multiple benefits alongside climate action. Engaging local stakeholders is crucial for its sustainable implementation and benefit-sharing mechanism. This study focuses on the knowledge and understanding of local-level stakeholders about REDD+ and its associated attributes, revealing significant knowledge gaps between areas with and without REDD+ ​pilot activities. For this, we conducted the semi-structured questionnaire interviews (n ​= ​136), key informant interviews (n ​= ​27), and focus group discussions (n ​= ​4) with local-level REDD+ ​stakeholders (LLRS) comprising both inside and outside of pilot project districts in three provinces of Nepal, by adopting the concept of socio-ecological systems (SES). Data were analyzed using a generalized linear model (GLM) and visualized through Sankey diagrams. The results indicate a poor understanding (29%) of LLRS on the REDD+ ​process, its relationship with forests, concerns among stakeholders, and its potential significance. The perception of REDD+ ​knowledge, mechanisms, and benefits significantly (p ​< ​0.05) varied across study areas, age groups, genders, professional backgrounds, educational levels, ownership of private forests, and types of household energy sources used among respondents. Despite receiving readiness funds, stakeholders’ comprehension of the REDD+ ​process remains limited, indicating suboptimal policy implementation. Knowledge gaps were influenced by social background, voices and choices, and the fear of REDD+ ​disrupting traditional practices among the LLRS. The study emphasizes the need to redress the concerns of LLRS by considering their social backgrounds and traditional practices through informed and participatory decision-making, enhance communication, transparency, and inclusive forest governance. The findings show that current external support has not sufficiently enhanced capacity among LLRS, suggesting the need for sufficient and sustainable support through national policy and financing mechanisms. Further, the study identified extremely poor REDD+ ​-related knowledge dissemination within communities, exacerbating challenges in implementation and benefit-sharing mechanisms, revealing the simplification of its process is essential. The study advocates for revising REDD+ ​-related policies to optimize benefits, ensure smooth implementation, realize fair and equitable carbon credits from forests, and foster shared responsibility and ownership among all stakeholders in climate actions through improved forest governance.

Achieving Chronic Care Equity by Leveraging the Telehealth Ecosystem (ACCTIVATE): A Multilevel Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol

Background: Racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in diabetes and hypertension outcomes persist in the United States (U.S.), and worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was in part due to suboptimal implementation of telehealth in U.S. safety-net settings alongside the pre-existing “digital divide” – structural determinants that limit access to digital tools by marginalized communities. To improve health equity, it is critical that health systems in the U.S. integrate principles of digital and health literacy for more equitable chronic disease care. Methods: We are conducting a 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial, in partnership with a Community Advisory Board, assessing a multi-level intervention addressing barriers that affect the equitable use of telehealth amongst low-income patients in San Francisco County. Patient-level support is provided through the evidence-based strategies of health coaching and digital navigation (“digital coaching”); clinic-level support includes equity dashboards, patient advisory councils, and practice facilitation. We are randomizing 600 low-income, racially/ethnically diverse English and Spanish-speaking patients with uncontrolled diabetes to receive digital coaching (n=200) vs. usual care (n=400) for 3 months; and 11 public health primary care clinics to clinic support vs. usual care for 24 months. We aim to evaluate the impact of patient and clinic level interventions to determine individual effectiveness and potential synergistic impact on clinical and process measures related to diabetes and telehealth outcomes. Results: The study's primary clinical outcome is change in patient-level Hemoglobin A1C (A1c); the primary process outcome is patient portal usage. Secondary clinical outcomes include changes in patient-level systolic blood pressure (SBP) and microalbuminuria (UACR), and changes in clinic-level A1c, SBP, and UACR. Secondary process outcomes assess patient-level changes in digital literacy, medication adherence, patient activation, and visit show rates, and clinic-level measures of telehealth adoption. Discussion: The ACCTiVATE trial tests a multi-level intervention developed through a stakeholder-engaged research approach and user-centered design to be feasible and acceptable for impacted communities. If efficacious, ACCTiVATE may provide a scalable model to improve chronic health outcomes and telehealth equity among marginalized racial/ethnic populations experiencing structural and interpersonal access barriers.

Threats and Challenges to Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development in India: Implications for Agricultural Extension

Agriculture, rooted in ancient civilizations, has shaped the course of human history. India, currently holding the second global position in farm output, witnesses over 50% of its workforce engaged in agriculture, contributing approximately 17-18% to the GDP in 2018. The agricultural and allied sectors constituted 15.4% of the GDP in 2016. India stands as the largest producer of fresh fruits, including mango, guava, papaya, and lemon, as per FAO 2014 statistics. Moreover, it ranks second globally in the production of dry fruits, textiles, pulses, fish, and vegetables. Cash crops like coffee and cotton have also played a pivotal role, with India ranking fifth in their production in 2010. Undeniably, agriculture is a cornerstone of India's economy. Despite India's prowess as a major exporter, consumer, and advocate of agriculture, the sector grapples with multifaceted challenges, significantly impacting rural development initiatives. Pressing issues include water scarcity, poverty, challenges in natural resource management, and environmental concerns. The complex interplay of factors, such as population growth, lack of information and awareness, limited technological knowledge, and the suboptimal implementation of agricultural programs in rural areas, further compounds these challenges. This article endeavors to meticulously identify the agricultural sector's predicaments, explore viable farm management solutions, and underscore the critical role of effective agricultural extension services in attaining sustainable yields and fostering rural development in the nation.

Enhancing Counseling Services in Secondary Schools Through the Implementation of Training Modules and Counseling Materials for Peer Counselors

The implementation of this community service aims to address issues in counseling services in remote secondary schools, resulting from the lack of counselors with a background in counseling education. Counselors often play the role of subject teachers, leading to suboptimal counseling implementation, causing students in need of psychosocial assistance to receive inadequate services. The form of community service utilized combines Service Learning and Community-Based Participatory approaches. Lecturers and students actively engage in developing and implementing training modules and counseling materials for adolescent peer counselors. Meanwhile, the community, particularly secondary schools and peer counselors, are invited to participate in designing and adapting modules to fit the local context and needs. The solution derived from this community service is the development of relevant and effective training modules and counseling materials to enhance the competence of peer counselors in providing support and counseling to their peers. With the existence of these modules, it is anticipated that counseling services in remote secondary schools can be improved, ensuring that students in need of psychosocial assistance are better served. In conclusion, the implementation of this community service combines the Service Learning and Community-Based Participatory approaches to address issues in counseling services in remote secondary schools. The development of training modules and counseling materials emerges as a relevant and effective solution to enhance the quality of counseling services, involving the community as partners in the decision-making process and service implementation. It is expected that this community service will have a positive impact in assisting adolescents in overcoming issues and increasing awareness and social support within the school environment.&#x0D; Keywords: Counseling Services, Peer Counseling, Training Modules, Counseling Materials

Reformulation of Public Participation in Fast- Track Legislation in an Open Cumulative National Legislative Program

One of the factors contributing to the suboptimal implementation of “meaningful participation” is the exploitation of legal loopholes to expedite the creation of open cumulative draft laws (RUU). This issue is further complicated by Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU XVIII/2020, which states that the formation of open cumulative draft laws does not necessitate general public participation, thereby posing a distinct challenge. In the context of this matter, by employing a normative legal research method, the author examines the urgency of public participation in the development of open cumulative draft laws through a “fast track” legislative process. The study’s results cover three main topics: (1) the mechanism of open cumulative draft law design and its relationship to “fast track” legislation; (2) the legal implications stemming from the Constitutional Court’s considerations regarding public participation in the creation of open cumulative draft laws; (3) the essence of integrating public participation into open cumulative draft laws using the “fast track” legislative method.

Real-world usage of Chronic Kidney Disease - Mineral Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) biomarkers in nephrology practices.

Chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a condition characterized by alterations of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) metabolism that in turn promote bone disorders, vascular calcifications, and increase cardiovascular (CV) risk. Nephrologists' awareness of diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tools to manage CKD-MBD plays a primary role in adequately preventing and managing this condition in clinical practice. A national survey (composed of 15 closed questions) was launched to inquire about the use of bone biomarkers in the management of CKD-MBD patients by nephrologists and to gain knowledge about the implementation of guideline recommendations in clinical practice. One hundred and six Italian nephrologists participated in the survey for an overall response rate of about 10%. Nephrologists indicated that the laboratories of their hospitals were able to satisfy request of ionized calcium levels, 105 (99.1%) of both PTH and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 100 (94.3%) of 25(OH)D, and 61 (57.5%) of 1.25(OH)2D; while most laboratories did not support the requests of biomarkers such as FGF-23 (intact: 88.7% and c-terminal: 93.4%), Klotho (95.3%; soluble form: 97.2%), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP-5b) (92.5%), C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) (71.7%), and pro-collagen type 1 N-terminal pro-peptide (P1NP) (88.7%). As interesting data regarding Italian nephrologists' behavior to start treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT), the majority of clinicians used KDOQI guidelines (n=55, 51.9%). In contrast, only 40 nephrologists (37.7%) relied on KDIGO guidelines, which recommended referring to values of PTH between two and nine times the upper limit of the normal range. Results point out a marked heterogeneity in the management of CKD-MBD by clinicians as well as a suboptimal implementation of guidelines in Italian clinical practice.

Strategic Leadership Practices and Devolved Administrative Structures in Selected Semi-Arid Counties in Kenya

Purpose: The presence of devolved administrative structures plays a critical role in safeguarding against the abuse of power and promoting political stability. Consequently, ensuring the effective operation of these structures in Kenya, especially given the introduction of devolution, is of paramount importance. The primary reason for the existing inadequacies in service delivery has been the suboptimal implementation of these devolved administrative entities, often stemming from ineffective managerial practices. To bridge this gap, this study had four specific objectives aimed at delineating the scope of strategic leadership practices within these devolved administrative structures: assessing the impact of resource allocation practices, evaluating the influence of public accountability practices, scrutinizing the effect of stakeholder involvement, and examining the moderating impact of legal factors on the relationship between strategic leadership practices and these administrative structures. The study incorporated three theoretical frameworks: the resource-based view theory, the transformational leadership theory and the institutional theory.&#x0D; Methodology: The study's target population encompassed 500 participants from Taveta and Makueni counties. Employing purposive and stratified random sampling techniques, a sample size of 223 was derived from the target population. The research design adopted was descriptive research, intended to provide insights into questions regarding what, where, and when. Quantitative and qualitative analytical methods were applied, with SPSS for data coding and STATA version 12 for analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the collective impacts of resource allocation practices, public accountability practices, and stakeholder involvement practices on devolved administrative structures.&#x0D; Findings: The study ascertained that strategic leadership practices have the potential to enhance the efficiency of decentralized administrative organizations and streamline the dissemination of information.&#x0D; Recommendations: The research recommends that county leaders articulate plans in a manner that encourages the development of devolved administrative structures, leading to sustainable transformation.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: High replicability of newly discovered social-behavioural findings is achievable

Failures to replicate evidence of new discoveries have forced scientists to ask whether this unreliability is due to suboptimal implementation of methods or whether presumptively optimal methods are not, in fact, optimal. This paper reports an investigation by four coordinated laboratories of the prospective replicability of 16 novel experimental findings using rigour-enhancing practices: confirmatory tests, large sample sizes, preregistration and methodological transparency. In contrast to past systematic replication efforts that reported replication rates averaging 50%, replication attempts here produced the expected effects with significance testing (P < 0.05) in 86% of attempts, slightly exceeding the maximum expected replicability based on observed effect sizes and sample sizes. When one lab attempted to replicate an effect discovered by another lab, the effect size in the replications was 97% that in the original study. This high replication rate justifies confidence in rigour-enhancing methods to increase the replicability of new discoveries.
