The Effect of Principal Leadership, Ethos, and Work Climate on Educator Performance MAN District of Sumedang

Education is seen as a valuable investment in improving the quality of human resources and building a nation. The research focuses on the MAN Se-Kab district of Sumedang to analyze the leadership of the head of the school, the work ethos, the working climate, and the performance of the educators. Quantitative survey methods are used with data collection using lifts. Data analysis includes validity, reliability, classical assumption tests, double linear regression, and hypothesis tests. Research at MAN Se-Kab district Sumedang found that the leadership of the head of school, the work ethos, and the working climate were rated "Good" (average 4.24, 4.58, and 4.27), as well as the performance of educators. (rata-rata 3,90). Nevertheless, the leadership of the head of the school did not significantly impact the teacher's version (t count -1,035 < 2,012, significance 0,306 > 0,05). On the contrary, the work ethos (2,621, significance 0.042 < 0,05) and the working climate (2,047, signification 0.053 < 0.05) had a significant positive impact. Simultaneously, the three variables influence the performance of educators (f counts 10,890 > f table 4,052, significance 0,045 < 0,05). The determination coefficient of 30.4% suggests that the head of school leadership, work ethos, and work climate variables can explain variations in teacher performance. In comparison, the other 34.8% variations are influenced by external factors such as culture and environment. Research recommendations include improved teacher performance and the role of the head of school in creating a productive working environment. The study provides in-depth insight into education dynamics in the MAN Se-Kab district of Sumedang, providing a basis for improving the quality of educators' performance and leadership.

This research provides academic and practical advice to improve the budget planning process at the village level.

Improving Mathematical Understanding Ability Using Tournament Learning with the Help of Panta Media

Students' understanding of mathematical concepts is still relatively low, especially in data material. One of them is caused by the learning process which is still student-centered. So this research aims to find out how to increase student's ability to understand mathematical concepts using tournament-based learning with the help of panta media. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group research design. The population used was class V students in North Sumedang District with research samples from class V at SDN Sindang II as the experimental class and SDN Jatihurip as the control class. The instrument used is a test of the ability to understand mathematical concepts with description questions. The analysis technique in this research is the mean difference test (paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test) which has been tested for normality and homogeneity. To determine the increase in students' mathematical abilities, the N-Gain test was carried out. The two classes were given different treatments, namely the experimental class with tournament-based learning assisted by panta media and the control class with conventional learning. The increase in students' ability to understand mathematical concepts can be seen from the average N-Gain results in the experimental class of 0.6500 in the moderate improvement category and in the control class of 0.2591 which is classified as low improvement. The two classes have significant differences in their ability to understand mathematical concepts. It was concluded that tournament-based learning with the help of panta media can improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts.

The Sliding Surface Determination of A Deep-seated Landslide on Cisumdawu Highway, West Java, Based on The Electrical Resistivity Tomography

Sumedang is one of the regencies in West Java Province that usually experiences landslides due to its lithology, slopes, and water level conditions. Previously slow-moving landslides occurred between 2016 and February 2021, affected the new Cileunyi-Sumedang-Dawuan (Cisumdawu) Highway at Section 2, Station 21 in the North Sumedang District. This research aims to identify the causes of these landslides using a combination of geological field observation, subsurface geo-electric resistivity-based survey, and borehole drilling. A total of fourteen boreholes were drilled to collect geotechnical data from the subsurface of the researched area, including the soil material and N-SPT value. The soil hardness and resistivity were measured and compared to establish the relationship between resistivity and engineering properties. The result of the resistivity measurement showed that the percolating water zone in the permeable loose soil was located above the impermeable layer, estimated as a slip surface. The subsurface measurement and borehole data show that the lithology of the sliding surface is a layer of clay with a thickness of 5 - 12 m, the slope of the sliding surface is 20o, and the depth is between 24 - 26 m. The cover layer of the sliding surface is a layer of silty clay and gravelly clay with a thickness of 5 - 10 m. Thus, based on the data presented, installation of bore piles and groundwater level monitoring need to be done as mitigation efforts.

Investigating, Determining Morphological Features, Development and Producing Capacity, and Linking Local Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) in Sumedang District

In order to create future superior varieties, local rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a source of germplasm. In Sumengang Regency, conservation efforts are required to prevent the extinction of native rice genotypes. This study attempts to investigate native rice in Sumedang Regency, identifying morphological characteristics, studying growth and yield, and family links. The study's sites included greenhouses and experimental paddy fields at Winaya Mukti University's Faculty of Agriculture in Tanjungsari, Sumedang Regency, and the Sumedang Regency area. A survey method, descriptive qualitative analysis, and an experimental methodology employing a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 18 treatments of local rice cultivars and two repetitions were used to conduct the research from May 2022 to December 2022. Sixteen local rice cultivars from Sumedang and two local rice cultivars from Tuban and Probolinggo were discovered as a result of research in the form of exploration; morphological characters were identified using the UPOV criteria (2020); growth characters with high yields were discovered in Gemah and Tri Sakti cultivars, whereas Bagendit cultivars tended to have low growth but high fruitfulness. All 18 of the examined cultivars showed variations in growth and yield. The dendrogram that resulted from the phenetic analysis split the eighteen rice cultivars into two groups: Group I was made up of local rice cultivars, namely Sertani, Bagendit, Masreum, Gading, Jablay, Patenggang, Gede Wangi, Hawara salak, Mentik Susu A, Godang, and Omas Genteng; group II was made up of local rice cultivars, namely Jalur, Gemah, Mesir Super, Sri Dewi, Tri Sakti, Mentik Susu B, and Mareum. There is a 56.16% similarity between each distinct rice variety. Many Sumedang local rice cultivars, such as Gading, Jablay, and Patenggang, share morphological characteristics. The morphological character data shows a 90% similarity coefficient amongst the cultivars.

Factors Associated to Community Practices Toward the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study in Indonesia.

COVID-19 still continue to spread and affects most nations globally to date. In this context, community knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward COVID-19 are the most important for controlling and preventing the infectious pandemic disease. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with community practices related to COVID-19. Cross-sectional study was conducted on 330 residents of Sumedang District, Indonesia. Selection of the sample using stratified random sampling. KAP toward COVID-19 was measured using the WHO questionnaire which is valid and reliable. The data were analyzed using the Rasch model, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. This study revealed that most respondents tend to answer correctly on the sociality and disease transmission knowledge (+2.08 logit; SE 1.63), incorrectly in conceptual knowledge (logit measure -2.05; SE 0.45), tended to have a positive attitude (+1.6 logit; 0.54) and practice (+1.63 logit; SE 0.61). Based on the results of the Wright map, the most challenging statement for respondents was to use masks. Knowledge and attitude were significantly associated with the practice of COVID-19 prevention (p<0.001). Attitude is the dominant factor influencing society practice towards COVID-19 (Stand. Estimate= 0.2737; 95% CI=0.1608-0.378;p<0.001) and knowledge play an important role in improving COVID-19 prevention behaviour. New insight from this research shows that even attitude is the most dominant factor, yet this study also indicated that knowledge is critical for positive attitudes of society to support COVID-19 prevention practices. Since, knowledge is the basis for positive attitudes in preventing the transmission of Covid 19. Therefore, health education that explicates concepts, sociality and disease transmission is important to boost attitudes of the society in the practice of Covid 19 prevention.

The effect of paraquat dichloride and carbosulfan on soil conditions and population dynamic of soil microbes in a cornfield: a case study in Sumedang, West Java

Paraquat dichloride (PC) is one of the herbicides active ingredients that is widely used by farmers to control various types of weeds, while carbosulfan (CS) is one of the insecticide’s active ingredients that is widely used to control various types of insect pests. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of pesticides for PC and CS on the chemical and physical conditions of the soil and the dynamics of fungi and soil bacteria population in a corn field in Sumedang district, West Java. The experiment took place between August and October, during the dry season, concluding just as the rainy season began. The PC concentrations used were 0 mL/L, 3.33 mL/L, 4 mL/L, 4.66 mL/L and 5.33 mL/L, while the CS concentrations used were 0 mL/L, 0.5 mL/L, 1 mL/L, 1.5 mL/L and 2 mL/L. Soil sampling was conducted before and after the application of pesticides. The total abundance of fungi and bacteria was analyzed using the total plate count (TPC) method. The application of PC to the cornfield slightly decreased soil bulk density from 1.354 g/cm3 to 0.816 g/cm3, while the application of CS slightly increased soil bulk density. A decrease in bulk density is considered positive for the physical conditions of the soil for plant cultivation. In general, the result indicated that the application of PC and CS did not show a significant effect on the chemical characteristics of the soil, and also it did not affect the population of fungi and bacteria. Weather conditions, i.e. dry season (June-September) and rainy season (started from October) seem to affect more on soil conditions as well soil microbial population than the application of the pesticides.

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.

Exploring the Cargo Potential: A Comprehensive Analysis of Kertajati Airport

Kertajati Airport was constructed to cater the growing demand from West Java Province and its surrounding areas, aiming to address the limitations faced by the previous airport, Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung. The intention was to relieve pressure from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and accommodate passengers from the former airport. However, since its inauguration in 2018, the airport's activities have fallen short of initial expectations. In response to this challenge, the West Java Provincial Government has strategized to reposition Kertajati Airport as a dedicated cargo-centric facility, aiming to pivot its focus to a financial solution. This study encompasses an in-depth analysis of the cargo potential, considering the key commodities within West Java, strategies for cargo transfer from Soekarno-Hatta and Husein Sastranegara airports, estimated travel time and associated costs to Kertajati Airport, and the most efficient aircraft types for cargo transportation. The findings reveal that Kertajati Airport's catchment area encompasses 19 districts/cities (70%) within West Java and 3 districts/cities (9%) in Central Java. The demand forecasting analysis projects the volume for international and domestic cargo in 2028 originating from Soekarno-Hatta Airport, indicating a 13% transfer, are 62 tons and 56 tons, respectively. Concurrently, the anticipated demand volume for international and domestic cargo transfer from Husein Sastranegara Airport in 2023 are 4 tons and 30 tons, respectively. The concentration of cargo potential lies prominently in areas rich in key commodities, notably Bandung City, Bandung Barat District, Tasikmalaya District, Garut District, and Sumedang District. The results indicate that there is a potential to promote the Kertajati Airport into a cargo-centric facility. More deep research with more data will give more confidence to focus in developing this facility.
