Analisis Sentimen Publik Terhadap Penurunan Jumlah Pernikahan di Indonesia menggunakan Algoritma K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)

Marriage in Indonesia is an important aspect of its culture and society. However, in recent years, there has been a significant decline in the number of marriages in the country. To understand people's views on this phenomenon, this research aims to conduct a sentiment analysis regarding the decline in the number of marriages in Indonesia. A decrease in the number of marriages can cause various economic problems. There are certain factors that contribute to this change, such as shifts in values or economic factors. Knowing views on this matter is important for formulating appropriate policies and finding effective solutions. The method used in this research is analysis using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm. Data will be collected through comments on Tiktok social media pages. The opinion data obtained will be processed using the KNN algorithm to classify positive, negative or neutral sentiment regarding the decline in the number of marriages. The data used amounted to 2,000 data, and were processed using the CRISP-DM method.

“Childless cat ladies” and the 2024 US presidential election

Abstract Introduction : This study, part of a larger research project assessing the political views of people with pets (dogs and cats), investigates the political views and life satisfaction of women without children who own cats. The research aims to provide insights into this group’s perspectives on current issues, including abortion rights and voting intentions for the 2024 US presidential election. Methods : A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in August 2024, involving 236 American women cat owners without children, recruited through Prolific, an online marketplace for survey respondents. The survey assessed the sample’s demographics, life satisfaction using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), concerns about current events, views on abortion, political affiliation, and voting intentions. Results : Participants mean SWLS score was 18.64 (SD = 7.74), comparable to other adult populations. The majority identified as liberal (71%) and Democrat (54%). This population’s top concerns included healthcare, abortion rights, climate change and environment, and government ethics. A total of 88.1% believed abortion should be legal in all or most circumstances. Regarding the 2024 election, 86.4% plan to vote, with 72.9% of those planning to vote indicating they support the Harris/Walz ticket. Discussion/Conclusion : The findings suggest that childless women with cats are a politically engaged population with predominantly liberal views. While study limitations include lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the sample, this research provides valuable insights into the political leanings and life satisfaction of an often-stereotyped group.

Adding brief content-related information to sensitive-content screens does not exacerbate screen- or image-related distress

ABSTRACT Content descriptions presented on sensitive-content screens reduce how often people view negative images. But does this reduction in exposure come at an emotional cost? Across two experiments, we investigated this possibility. In Experiment 1, we compared participants’ change in state anxiety when exposed to sensitive-content screens with and without brief and detailed content descriptions. State anxiety was similar for participants who saw screens with and without brief content descriptions, but we found larger increases in state anxiety for detailed content descriptions. Therefore, detailed content descriptions negatively impact how people feel when they view sensitive-content screens. In Experiment 2, we presented participants with a single sensitive-content screen, either with or without a brief content description, and gave them the opportunity to uncover it. Participants who uncovered the screen viewed the negative image and then rated their distress. Most participants uncovered the screen and, irrespective of condition, reported similar image-related distress. Taken together, brief descriptions do not negatively impact how people feel when they view sensitive-content screens or the forewarned content. Therefore, brief content descriptions do not create an emotional cost. Social media platforms should move beyond merely warning about upcoming content and provide brief content descriptions indicating what the content depicts.

Theoretically framing views of people who smoke in understanding what might work to support smoking cessation in coastal communities: adapting the TIDieR checklist to qualitative analysis for complex intervention development

IntroductionPeople living in coastal communities have some of the worst health outcomes in the UK, driven in part by high smoking rates. Deprived coastal communities include socially disadvantaged groups that struggle to access traditional stop smoking services. The study aimed to seek the views of people who smoke living in coastal communities, to assess the optimal smoking cessation intervention for this population. In addition, the Template for Intervention Description Replication (TIDieR) checklist was adapted as an analytical framework for qualitative data to inform intervention design.MethodsCurrent or recent ex-smokers (n = 25) were recruited to participate in qualitative interviews from a range of community locations in a deprived English seaside town. A thematic analysis of the interview data was undertaken adapting the TIDieR framework. This analysis was triangulated with relevant literature and notes from stakeholder meetings and observations to map onto the TIDieR checklist to describe the optimal intervention.ResultsBarriers to quitting smoking in the target population included low motivation to quit, high anxiety/boredom, normalisation of smoking and widespread illicit tobacco use. There was broad support for combining behavioural support, e-cigarettes and financial incentives, with a strong preference for the intervention to be delivered opportunistically and locally within (non-healthcare) community settings, in a non-pressurising manner, ideally by a community worker specially trained to give stop smoking support.ConclusionsAn intensive community-based smoking cessation intervention was acceptable to the target population. Adapting the TIDieR checklist as a deductive qualitative analytical framework offered a systematic approach to intervention development. Combined with other intervention development activities, this ensured that the intervention design process was transparent and the proposed intervention was well defined. It is recommended that prior to intervention development researchers speak to members of the target population who may give valuable insight into the optimal intervention.

Social barriers faced by students with sensory impairment in higher education in Tanzania

AbstractThis study explored the social barriers facing students with sensory impairment in Tanzanian higher learning institutions across different settings. Twenty‐seven students were involved in semi‐structured interviews, focus group discussions and open‐ended questionnaires. Students with sensory impairment reported that across the different settings, other people view them as incapable and as a socio‐economic burden. They also revealed that they were viewed as beggars. Their perceptions of these negative views resulted in their social isolation, and difficulties in forming and maintaining friendships. The study recommends setting up awareness‐creation campaigns aimed at demonstrating the capabilities of disabled people in Tanzania. In addition, the law governing the employment of disabled people in Tanzania should be enforced accordingly to increase their employment opportunities in different sectors.

Partisans process policy-based and identity-based messages using dissociable neural systems.

Political partisanship is often conceived as a lens through which people view politics. Behavioral research has distinguished two types of "partisan lenses"-policy-based and identity-based-that may influence peoples' perception of political events. Little is known, however, about the mechanisms through which partisan discourse appealing to policy beliefs or targeting partisan identities operate within individuals. We addressed this question by collecting neuroimaging data while participants watched videos of speakers expressing partisan views. A "partisan lens effect" was identified as the difference in neural synchrony between each participant's brain response and that of their partisan ingroup vs. outgroup. When processing policy-based messaging, a partisan lens effect was observed in socio-political reasoning and affective responding brain regions. When processing negative identity-based attacks, a partisan lens effect was observed in mentalizing and affective responding brain regions. These data suggest that the processing of political discourse that appeals to different forms of partisanship is supported by related but distinguishable neural-and therefore psychological-mechanisms, which may have implications for how we characterize partisanship and ameliorate its deleterious impacts.

Conspiracy! Or, when bad things happen to good litigants in person

Abstract This paper considers the relationship between litigants in person (LiPs) and conspiracy theories and seeks to answer two questions: how, and why, do some LiPs come to be conspiracy theorists? The majority of LiPs, of course, do not become conspiracy-minded. There is also no evidence that LiPs are more likely than anyone else in legal proceedings to be conspiracists, only, perhaps, that it is more obvious when they are. But there continue to be individuals who have conspiracist explanations for difficulties or failures they experience throughout legal proceedings. And while it is widely held that some LiPs hold eccentric beliefs about the law, there has been little attempt to understand how and why LiPs may come to acquire or articulate these beliefs. This is presumably because it has not been considered important to interrogate the views of people already often assumed to be ‘difficult’ or eccentric. This paper contends, however, that trying to understand how and why these conspiracist beliefs are acquired matters very much. This is because conspiracy theories can give us a critical insight into how negative experiences of litigation can result in a loss of faith or trust in legal institutions.

The driving mechanism of citizens’ protective behaviors for rainstorm flood disasters in China: an empirical study based on the protection motivation theory and protective action decision model

[Background/significance]Rainstorm floods have become a high-impact natural disaster and are expected to become more extreme shortly, seriously threatening human safety. Although the government issues timely and precise rainstorm flood warning information, citizens remain indifferent and engage in maladaptive behavior. Therefore, understanding the relationship between emergency information, psychological cognition, individual characteristics, and protective behavior is crucial for effective risk information communication and evacuation guidance. [Method/process]This study utilizes the protection motivation theory (PMT) and protective action decision model (PADM) to develop a structural equation model (SEM) that evaluates the factors driving both protective and non-protective behaviors of individuals to rainstorm flood disasters. [Result/conclusion]The findings indicate that the disaster experience and emergency information received significantly shape how individuals perceive risks, their ability to manage them, and who should be accountable for the disaster. The findings further indicate that how people view their ability to handle a risk situation (perceived coping ability) and who they think is responsible for the situation (perceived attribution of responsibility) directly influence whether they will take protective behaviors. Based on these results, this study puts forward policy recommendations for emergency information release strategies to enhance citizens' willingness to adopt protective behaviors.

Compound words of Central Kurdish from the perspective of configuration theory

This study is entitled “Compound Words of Central Kurdish from the Perspective of Configuration Theory”. to analyzes compound words from the perspective of Configuration theory. The scope is within the framework of Cognitive Morphology based on Zaki Hamawand (2011). The importance of this research is the originality as the first work in Kurdish language on the mentioned field above. The concept and meaning of compound words are changed, according to people's view and experiences. They fall into different domains, which is the problem. The aim of the study is to find a solution from the perspective of configuration theory for it, and identify the domain and facet, that include Central Kurdish compound nouns and compound adjectives. The focus is only on compound nouns and adjectives among compound words for analysis process. In addition to the researcher’s interest and being native in the targeted language, the used materials are taken from library data that are used as sources in the study. The paper consists of an introduction, two sections, conclusions, and the list of references. As a result, the domains and facets that contain Middle Kurdish compound nouns and compound adjectives are identified, which are explained by distinguishing two kinds: first, Compound words in Inter-class words. Second, Compound words in Intra-class words.

Cancel the Deal? An Experimental Study on the Exploitation of Irrational Consumers

Consumers can sometimes be exploited because they make mistakes in their valuation of products. We present the results from a large-scale experimental study that examines whether third-party spectators from the general population in the United States cancel a voluntary deal where a buyer has made a mistake in the valuation of a product and agreed to pay more for the product than the seller knows it is worth. We find that the majority of the spectators cancel such deals, even when the seller’s involvement is limited to accepting a proposal made by the buyer. A substantial share of these spectators is also willing to fine the seller. However, a large minority of the spectators are willing to uphold the deal even when the seller has proposed the deal and obfuscated the information provided to the buyer. Our results shed new light on when people view market transactions as acceptable and their attitudes to government regulation of businesses. This paper was accepted by Axel Ockenfels, behavioral economics and decision analysis.

Women and Values in the Vortex of Objectivity: Sharon L. Crasnow's Contribution to the Feminist Discussion of Philosophy of Science

This study investigates Sharon L. Crasnow's perspective on the philosophy of science, specifically exploring its compatibility with feminist ideals. Crasnow introduces her notion of model-based objectivity as a reaction and expansion of the principles advocated by feminist empiricism, postmodernism, and Harding and Wylie's feminist standpoint viewpoint theory. Crasnow holds the belief that there is an inherent connection between science and value. The efficacy of grounding in scientific endeavor and the development of epistemic virtues depend on specific societal principles, such as acknowledging and appreciating women's contributions in scientific discussions. Feminism is not considered a dedicated adherence to a particular set of beliefs or ideology. Instead, people view feminism as a mindset or a critical scientific perspective. According to Crasnow, the best way to understand natural reality is to use a model to achieve a clear and objective understanding. The procedure entails identifying specific values that lay the groundwork for modeling. These values are evaluated by considering pragmatic variables and maximizing the achievement of goals. In this context, objectivity refers to the validation of a value based on its ability to improve people's lives to the fullest extent. This enhances the model's capacity to serve as a means of accomplishing it.

Enhancing the Quality of Life for Santri: Management of Pesantren through the Strengthening of Clean and Healthy Living Culture

This research aims to analyze Islamic boarding school management based on strengthening a clean and healthy living culture to improve student's quality of life. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was carried out through observations, interviews and document analysis. Data analysis includes data collection activities, reduction, presentation, and conclusion. Credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability tests are used to check the data's validity. The results of this research conclude that Islamic boarding school management based on strengthening a culture of clean and healthy living is carried out through systemic stages and processes so that it can improve the quality of life of students and the image of the institution while breaking negative assumptions that are often associated with Islamic boarding school life as a shabby and dirty institution and able to change people's views and perceptions about Islamic boarding schools in a more positive direction. This research implies that Islamic boarding school management based on a culture of clean and healthy living not only improves students' quality of life but also the institution's image as a whole.

Membaca Pemikiran Orang Jawa Tentang Kesempurnaan Hidup Melalui Teks Piwulang

The Serat Piwulang Kasampurnaning Ngagesang manuscript is one of the Javanese manuscripts that contains the teachings of life. This manuscript is important to study because it contains teachings to achieve perfection in life according to Javanese thinking. The problem in this study is that the Javanese people's thoughts about the perfection of life contained in this manuscript have not been revealed. The purpose of the research is to explore the thoughts of the Javanese people from the source of the text of Serat Piwulang Kasampurnaning Ngagesang which then the results of the description can be known to the general public and can be used as a guideline for the younger generation. This study uses an objective approach, with heuristic and hermeneutic reading models. Heuristic reading is carried out by reading the entire text sourced from the NB 807 manuscript of the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia. Hermeneutic reading is carried out by paying attention to textual, historical and philosophical meanings. The results of the study show that there is a view of the importance of names for human life and the seven things that are desired in life. Javanese people view the name as something important because it is an honor for everyone. Perfection of life for Javanese people is the fulfillment of seven desired things consisting of health and safety, food, shelter, clothing, honor or power, security and peace of mind, sincerity and sustainability. And the key to getting these seven things is to be grateful, patient, praying, and trying. All of it comes from the heart of each one. The heart can have taste, but the taste does not have the heart.

Food Safety Analysis Based on Halal Food with The Use of Water as a Food Need in Indonesia

Halal food security in Indonesia is a complex issue viewed from a religious perspective, especially in water processing. This article examines the public's understanding of the water treatment process, whether halal or non-halal. This research also examines the risks from the views of people with this understanding. The method used uses a literature study consisting of several pieces of literature that are reviewed and analyzed descriptively to understand the existing problems properly. The results of this research answered this understanding with an analysis of environmental, technical, social, financial, security, and institutional risks, as well as a comparison with regulations and hadith. The water treatment process carried out by water management institutions follows the rules and is considered to duplicate natural processes, namely the water cycle. This perspective is also supported by several regulations in Indonesia, which indicate that food safety, especially water, can be adequately implemented. This study shows that there is always involvement between officeholders, service providers, and the community in maintaining the safety of water sources.

Inculturation of Plenat Nim for the life of the community of Timorese believers in Soe, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

ABSTRACT This research aims to examine the inculturation of Plenat Nim by Timorese. The research focuses on the believers of Timorese, who still practice specific prayer rituals to respect their parents after the death of their parents as obedience to God's fifth commandment. It was known as Nanonob Sin Lasi atau Piu Sin Lasi before the Gospel reached Soe, but after they knew the Gospel, they changed its name to Plenat Nim. These rituals prioritize the spirits of the deceased as having the power to grant forgiveness, blessings, serenity, and safety in their daily lives. Timorese believe these rituals help maintain a harmonious relationship between the living and the dead. The Timorese people view these prayer rituals as essential to their cultural identity and continue to pass them down from generation to generation. The research methodology employed in this research is fild study with analysis through the lens of inculturation approach. The data collection is through processes such as collecting, reducing, displaying, drawing conclusions, and verification. The Authors present all data findings descriptively. The research revealed that Timorese believers still have faith in the power of the dead to bless, help, and heal the living.

Inter-relationships among individual views of COVID-19 control measures across multi-cultural contexts

Individual-level georeferenced data have been widely used in COVID-19 control measures around the world. Recent research observed that there is a trade-off relationship between people's privacy concerns and their acceptance of these control measures. However, whether this trade-off relationship exists across different cultural contexts is still unaddressed. Using data we collected via an international survey (n = 4260) and network analysis, our study found a substantial trade-off inter-relationship among people's privacy concerns, perceived social benefits, and acceptance across different control measures and study areas. People's privacy concerns in culturally tight societies (e.g., Japan) have the smallest negative impacts on their acceptance of pandemic control measures. The results also identify people's key views of specific control measures that can influence their views of other control measures. The impacts of these key views are heightened among participants with a conservative political view, high levels of perceived social tightness, and vertical individualism. Our results indicate that cultural factors are a key mechanism that mediate people's privacy concerns and their acceptance of pandemic control measures. These close inter-relationships lead to a double-edged sword effect: the increased positive impacts of people's acceptance and perceived social benefits also lead to increased negative impacts of privacy concerns in different combinations of control strategies. The findings highlight the importance of cultural factors as key determinants that affect people's acceptance or rejection of specific pandemic control measures.

Religious people view both science and religion as less epistemically valuable than non-religious people view science

ABSTRACT Many religious people deny any conflict between religion and science, but nevertheless report less trust in science than non-religious people. We address this puzzle using insights from goal systems theory. Goal systems theory suggests that, when people have more means of achieving a goal, they perceive each individual means as less instrumental. We translate this “instrumentality hypothesis” to differences in how religious and non-religious people perceive science and religion. Religious people—who use both science and religion as means to gain knowledge—may perceive both as moderately instrumental, and as less instrumental than non-religious people view science. We support the instrumentality hypothesis in studies where participants evaluate the capacity of science and religion to explain extraordinary phenomena (Study 1), fill gaps in knowledge (Study 2), answer life's big questions (Study 3), and to help avoid COVID-19 infection (Study 4). We also find that non-religious people overperceive religious people's trust in religion and underperceive religious people's trust in science as sources of knowledge (Study 5). Non-religious people think that religion deters trust in science at the expense of high trust in religion, but instead, the typical religious person avoids extreme epistemic reliance on any single source of knowledge.

The Law, Dementia, and Sexuality-Is the Law Striking the Right Balance?

English and Welsh laws require "contemporaneous" consent to sexual relations, often precluding "non-capacituos" people living with advanced dementia from these human interactions. The views of people living with dementia, carers, professionals, and over-55s were explored on implications of current laws on sexuality in dementia. Thirty-five participants from England were recruited through purposive selective sampling. Audio-taped semistructured interviews were transcribed and thematically analyzed with each stakeholder group coded separately. Common themes across stakeholders were (i) law reform needed due to their hammer-like effect ignoring the individual; (ii) dissonant theme of needing the law for protection; (iii) negative impact of denied intimacy on individuals and partners; (iv) support for Advance Decisions on Intimacy with caveats; (v) less support for involvement of Court of Protection and Powers of Attorney; (vi) call for review of capacity concept with support for an assent model. People living with dementia described shame and stigma associated with policing of their sexuality and perception of being singled out for protection and intrusion into their lives. For informal carers (mostly wives), the theme of "what about me" emerged, demonstrating that for the long-term partnered, this is a couple's issue. Practical implications of this study include need to address ageism and ableism; human rights education for society and professionals; starting point of presumed capacity for sexual relations with consensus on how and when this should be rebutted; and care homes' certification requirements should incorporate assessment of the relationship health of their residents.

STUDI KASUS: COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY UNTUK MENGURANGI KECENDERUNGAN KECEMASAN SOSIAL PADA SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR

Excessive feelings of fear characterize students with social anxiety and worry and avoidance of social situations, especially in the school environment. Students quickly feel nervous and anxious when they are in a crowded environment or public place, such as avoiding appearing in front of the class, not daring to refuse or reprimand others, speaking in a low voice, not daring to answer or ask questions, not looking the other person in the eye, and being afraid. Others poorly view them. This case study involves a fifth-grade elementary school (Sekolah Dasar/SD) student who has experienced social anxiety for the past year. The subject feels uncomfortable in crowded places and has negative thoughts about other people's views of him. Assessment is carried out by observation, interviews, psychological tests (WISC, CSCT, graphic), and the Liebowitz social anxiety scale. The intervention provided to reduce social anxiety in subjects used a cognitive-behavioral approach, namely, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, carried out for nine sessions. The intervention results showed that the subjects could identify irrational thoughts and change them to be more rational, decreasing anxiety levels when appearing in front of the class and interacting with other people in the class and school environment according to the predetermined intervention targets.
