Pelatihan Pemasaran Digital Tokopedia Dalam Upaya Peningkatan Penjualan Kelompok Binaan Dinas Perikanan Cilacap

The level of success of collaboration can be achieved when the collaboration involves people with diverse experiences, multi-disciplinary knowledge, different cultures, education and backgrounds. Various parties will present different thoughts and contributions, so that the problem will be handled from various angles in a comprehensive manner. The problem in Cilacap Regency, with the majority of coastal communities working as fishermen and fish processors, is that sales are stagnant because they only rely on traditional marketing, by selling fresh fish at TPI Padanarang or processing fish into crackers, salted fish, handicrafts that are sold directly at around TPI Pandanarang. The aim of this PkM is providing digital marketing training through Tokopedia as an effort to increase sales of groups supported by the Cilacap Fisheries Service. The method chosen was qualitative with the number of respondents being 10 residents representing groups supported by the Cilacap Fisheries Service. The results of the PkM which was at TPI Pandanarang - Teluk Penyu Area, South Cilacap District, Cilacap Regency were the creation of 10 Business Identification Numbers (NIB) and 10 online shop accounts on Tokopedia for 10 people representatives of groups supported by the Cilacap Regency Fisheries Service. Conclusions from field observations, apart from marketing training, it turns out that the community needs a lot of assistance when processing permits such as PIRT, halal certificates, promotional training, packaging design, hygiene and sanitation training, health safety food. The Cilacap District Fisheries Service can collaborate with several companies/agencies to get assistance with equipment grants, training from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds.

Approach and avoidance mechanisms in the effects of algorithm transparency on the service performance of food-delivery riders

ABSTRACT The advent of the digital era has seen algorithmic decision-making become ubiquitous in online service platform management. However, the lack of algorithm transparency has been widely reported as a barrier to successful human-machine collaboration. Drawing on self-regulation theory, this study explores the effects of algorithmic transparency on the approach and avoidance behaviours of 265 food-delivery riders on online platforms in China. Results from our two-wave survey show that algorithm transparency can improve the service performance of food-delivery riders by inspiring their task crafting along an approach path and reducing their negative work rumination along an avoidance path. The extent to which riders perceived the algorithmic allocations of their work tasks as just or unjust have an effect on whether riders engaged with task crafting or negative rumination. Specifically, perceiving low algorithmic injustice can strengthen the effect along the approach pathway and weaken the effect along the avoidance pathways. This study advances empirical research on algorithmic transparency in the fields of platform economy and service management, while providing practical insights for platform companies to develop, design, and apply algorithmic systems in ways that mutually benefit themselves and their workers.

Playing single-player tasks together: Dyads’ collaborative activities across two games in Math Garden

Much research on collaborative learning focuses on working together on tasks that are designed with collaboration in mind. However, teachers may ask children to collaborate on single player tasks as well, given a scarcity of available computers in the classroom or assuming that children can learn from each other and motivate each other. In the current study, we studied the conversations of primary school children (N = 64; 39 girls, 25 boys) working together in dyads in an adaptive single-player math learning environment (Math Garden). We aimed to investigate (1) how dyads collaborate across two math tasks aimed at practicing different math skills (arithmetic vs. reasoning skills) embedded within Math Garden and (2) whether collaborative activities differed across the two math tasks. We studied both individual utterances as well as episodes of social metacognitive interactions between the dyad members. We found that children engaged in activities important for successful collaboration, such as relational and metacognitive activities. Moreover, we identified social metacognitive episodes, meaning that children regulated their groups’ learning and that the regulatory processes which took part within the collaborative learning session cannot be reduced to individual activities. We conclude that children engage in collaborative activities when working together on single player tasks. And, in line with previous research, these collaborative activities differed across games, highlighting that collaborative learning is shaped by the task at hand.

‘What are the most effective collaborative strategies to seamlessly integrate instrumental music and theatre in family performances?’

The aim of this research is to elaborate on the most effective collaborative strategies for seamlessly integrating instrumental music and theatre into family performances. To create context and background, this research addresses the anticipated role and dynamic evolution of instrumental music in theatre. The theoretical framework consists out of the ‘issue of narrativity’ (Meelberg, 2008c) which focusses on frame of reference influence, according to Robert Zatorre (2005), combined with insight from the models of collaboration: ‘het Kompas’ (Bremekamp et al., 2010), ‘the five dysfunctions of a team’ (Lencioni, 2002) and the ‘forming–storming–norming–performing model of group development’ (Tuckman, 1965). This research examines the methods of organizations such as Oorkaan and Het Houten, mapping the established frameworks for instrumental music and theatre. Throughout these theories the complex reality of collaborations within the characteristics of family performances (i.e. a linear progression with a cyclical feel) is systematically described and analyzed, resulting in a new conceptual model. The model was tested by conducting semi-structured interviews combined with field research. Findings were that the sharper the definition of the target group, the clearer the cooperation and the more distinctive the product. This outcome becomes a realistic goal when the direction and associated process is clear. Furthermore, the framework can be used as a tool for those wishing to enter the field of interdisciplinary collaboration between theatre and music, with a focus on family performances. It is relevant for graduates in order to achieve a successful collaboration. They need to overcome challenges at the start of their career due to lack of knowledge of each other’s discipline.

The determination of elements influencing successful collaboration factors in preventing oil spills during bunkering at port

Abstract This study is concerned with the factors that could concern the successful collaboration in preventing oil spills during bunkering operations. This study encompasses individual staff at port and bunkering companies in Sabah, Malaysia. The oil spill incidents from bunkering activities are possible to occur while the ships are moving. The primary causes of bunker activities that could lead to the oil spill are overflow, leak incidents, inadequate planning, and human error. This study aims to validate the factors of successful collaboration toward preventing oil spills during bunkering operations. This study utilized a Delphi questionnaire survey distributed to respondents with working experiences between two years and more than 10 years of working experience. The data has been accumulated from the related departments within the individual staff at Jabatan Pelabuhan dan Dermaga Sabah (JPDS) and Kota Kinabalu Port. This study applied an online Delphi questionnaire survey from the required purposive sampling. The Delphi questionnaire survey assembles information about respondents and the importance of and factors influencing successful collaboration by applying Likert scale point of 5 ranging from not important to extremely important. This study has included 59 respondents from JPDS and related bunkering companies and bunkering operators. The data have been analysed using SPSS analysis tools such as Cronbach alpha and Correlation analysis. The result revealed that the Cronbach alpha value shows a high value of 0.960. Meanwhile, the correlation coefficient (r) shows at 0.775. It has shown a positive and strong relationship between the importance of successful collaboration and the factors influencing successful collaboration to prevent oil spills during bunkering. The recommendation of this study could facilitate other port authorities to collaborate or coordinate with other sectors or companies in bunkering operations to gain a successful collaboration in preventing oil spills during bunkering activities. It is also anticipated to contribute to the deficiency of literature on the determination of elements influencing successful collaboration factors in preventing oil spills during bunkering at port.

Successful collaboration between Ifsi trainers and field professionals in the field of TVE

The educational dimension plays an important role in patient care, given the reduction in hospitalisation time, the complexity of the information to be given to patients and the increase in chronic diseases. It is therefore important to train not only healthcare professionals, but also nursing students. To provide Patient Therapeutic Education (PTE), students must be able to adopt an educational posture rather than that of experts and graduates must be able to carry out educational diagnoses or shared educational assessments and run therapeutic workshops. A cross-disciplinary PTE project has been developed at the Ifsi in Périgueux, in collaboration with health professionals and expert patients.

An outside individual option increases optimism and facilitates collaboration when groups form flexibly

Voluntary participation is a central yet understudied aspect of collaboration. Here, we model collaboration as people’s voluntary choices between joining an uncertain public goods provisioning in groups and pursuing a less profitable but certain individual option. First, we find that voluntariness in collaboration increases the likelihood of group success via two pathways, both contributing to form more optimistic groups: pessimistic defectors are filtered out from groups, and some individuals update their beliefs to become cooperative. Second, we reconcile these findings with existing literature that highlights the detrimental effects of an individual option. We argue that the impact of an outside individual option on collaboration depends on the “externality” of loners — the influence that those leaving the group still exert on group endeavors. Theoretically and experimentally, we show that if collaboration allows for flexible group formation, the negative externality of loners remains limited, and the presence of an individual option robustly aids collaborative success.

The application for innovative methods and materials for greater sustainability in residential buildings in the UK: “a bibliometric review”

The provision of sustainable housing should factor energy efficiency, the use of sustainable building methods and materials and address the current associated barriers. This consideration triggered an ongoing study in UK which has so far conducted a bibliometric analysis of 275 papers using the VOSviewer software. More papers have been published in the last 5 years compared to the previous 15, and the UK is less engaged in successful collaborations in comparison to other economically developed nations. The lesser use of innovation in the UK has been identified. Also, the uses of sustainable methods and materials in residential housing are not fully exploited for achieving energy efficiency. A future research direction emerging is the potential to study the combined impact of using innovative materials and methods to achieve greater energy efficiency in UK housing provision. Through technological innovations and the need to move from fossil fuels (for example, through the use of heat pumps) a new approach can move the UK closer to achieving net-zero in housing provision and operations.

Mapping Student-Generated Learning Objectives Against USMLE Core Content

Purpose: To compare the content covered by student-generated, case-based, learning objectives with United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE) core-content guidelines, both in terms of range of topics covered and time spent with different topics. Secondarily, to examine the impact of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic on the content covered by student generated learning objectives (SGLOs). Methods: The data used in this study was drawn from university records of SGLOs over the course of five years, including approximately 1,600 individual SGLOs, organized by semester and year. SGLOs were coded to correspond to topics on the USMLE core content guidelines. Two lists of core content provided by the USMLE were used in this study. The first consisted of 18 broad topics and 222 nesting subtopics tested on STEP 1. The second consisted of 11 broad topics with a corresponding percent range of how many questions on STEP 1 address that topic. Findings: Percent Coverage: 50-60% of USMLE core content topics are covered within the first year. Multiple regression analysis showed this number remaining consistent between first year classes, between semesters, and during COVID. Topic Weight: 7 out of 11 broad topics fell within the same ranges of the USMLE, with Social Sciences being the greatest outlier (significantly more coverage). 2 out of 11 topics were addressed less by SGLOs than by the USMLE. Gaps: 53 individual USMLE core content sub-topics were not addressed by a UP first year class in any learning objective. Notable trends in the identified content gaps included topics relating to congenital disorders, embryonic development, male and female reproductive systems, endocrine disorders (other than thyroid disorders and diabetes), normal ageing and age-related changes, psychiatric disorders and behavioral health, and drug adverse effects. Conclusions: SGLOs covered consistent amounts of material from year to year, suggesting curricular stability over time. The same standard of SGLO creation was also maintained during online COVID 19 activities. The agreement in weighting of topics between our student-driven curriculum and the USMLE core content indicate that students prioritize topics effectively. Identified gaps in coverage represent areas for improvement. This study further supports successful collaborations between faculty and medical students in regards to curriculum development and execution. Conflicts of Interest: None. This study (Study ID: STUDY00015600) was deemed exempt by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the Penn State College of Medicine.

Regulation of emotions in project-based collaborative learning: an empirical study in academic English classrooms.

In spite of the increasing popularity of project-based collaborative learning (PBCL) as a pedagogy, real successful collaboration cannot always be achieved due to the cognitive, motivational and social emotional challenges students encounter during collaboration. Recognizing the challenges and developing regulation strategies to cope with the challenges at both individual and group level is essential for successful collaboration. In the last decades, a growing interest has been developed around socially shared regulation of emotions and how it is interwoven with self-regulation and co-regulation. However, capturing the process of students' emotional challenges and regulations in a long and dynamic project proves difficult and there remains a paucity of evidence on how co-regulation and socially-shared regulation co-occur with learners' cognitive and emotional progress in project-based collaborative learning. The purpose of the present study is to investigate and identify what kind of social emotional challenges students encountered during PBCL and how they regulate themselves and the groups in order to finish the projects. A quasi-experimental research design was adopted in an academic English classroom, with thirty-eight students self-reporting their challenges and regulations three times after finishing each of the projects. The results of qualitative analysis plus a case study of two groups indicate that students encounter a variety of social emotional challenges and employed different levels of co-regulation and socially shared regulation in addition to self-regulation, leading to varying collaboration results and experiences. The findings of the study offer insights into the emotional regulation in PBCL and shed light for future design of pedagogical interventions aiming at supporting socially shared regulation.

Diversity in invasive species management networks

Effective management of invasive species requires collaboration across a range of stakeholders. These stakeholders exhibit diverse attributes such as organisation types, operational scale, objectives, and roles within projects. Identifying the diverse attributes of stakeholders is beneficial for increasing collaboration success while minimising potential conflicts among multiple stakeholders when managing invasive species across landscapes. Despite the increasing number of studies on connections among stakeholders, there is little understanding of the diverse attributes of stakeholders involved in invasive species management. This is a notable gap because the diversity of stakeholders is one of the significant factors that can influence collaboration success. To bridge this knowledge gap, we used a social network approach to identify the attributes of stakeholders that influence their participation in collaborations using a case study of invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) management in Queensland, Australia. Our findings suggest that even though the overall stakeholder network was diverse, the stakeholder network at the project level exhibited a lack of diversity on average, particularly regarding the scale of operation and type of organisation. In other words, stakeholders are highly likely to form ties in projects involving other stakeholders from similar types of organisations or operational scales. We suggest that targeting a greater diversity of stakeholders across types of organisations and scales of operations might enhance the success of collaborative invasive species management.

A banking app for people with brain injuries: Co-designed by a person with aphasia and a speech and language therapist

We describe the process where a stroke survivor, his wife, and a speech language pathologist participated together to design and implement a new piece of software to help patients with brain injury recover skills needed to manage their finances. Each person provided a different perspective that led to a successful collaboration. The stroke survivor, a computer scientist, has experience with aphasia apps that he used in therapy. His wife, also a computer scientist, has experience with participatory design techniques and agile software development methodologies. The SLP understands the requirements needed for software to be useful for patients in a clinical setting. Together the team created an app that is currently being used in two rehab centers.

Collaboration Among Stakeholders in Efforts to Control Peatland Ecosystem Damage to Support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS)

Introduction: The government's efforts to control peatland ecosystem damage are a corrective measure to improve management systems in peatland areas. This case study focuses on the KHG Kampar River – Gaung River and KHG Gaung River – Batangtuaka River in Riau Province. These locations were chosen due to their representation of peatland ecosystem restoration activities from 2017 to 2022. Theoretical Review: Hajer and Wagenaar (2003: 33-37) explain in more detail that deliberative policy is an approach in the public decision-making process that focuses on deep discussion and reflection of various views and approaches before reaching a final decision. This approach involves the active participation of various stakeholders or citizens in decision-making. Collaborative policy dialogue is an alternative approach in policy-making that is becoming increasingly relevant in the Information Age due to technological changes and globalization. Methods: Using a systematic qualitative methodology, this study adopts a descriptive approach to describe field phenomena. Result and Discussion: This study identifies stakeholders, their involvement, and the impact of their collaboration and synergy. Stakeholder collaboration is crucial for addressing peatland ecosystem management issues in these areas. The collaborations include interactions between central and local governments (provincial and district), the government and the private sector, and the government and local communities. Conclusion: Successful stakeholder collaboration has supported the region's sustainable development goals (SDGs). Four pillars were achieved in the efforts to control peatland ecosystem damage: the social pillar, the economic pillar, the environmental pillar, and the governance pillar.
