Exploring Next Generations for a Sustainable Future: A Systematic Literature Review on Sustainability Awareness among High School Students in Indonesia

Environmental damage is increasingly evident, from rising global average temperatures and melting polar ice caps to the increasing frequency of extreme weather. This study aims to conduct a literature review related to sustainability awareness among students at the high school level in Indonesia. The research method chosen in this study is a systematic literature review. Data collection is done by documenting all articles that have similar research in this research report. The articles used in this study were 11 articles published in the 2020–2024 period and then used as a reference for review. Based on this literature review research, several important findings were found, namely: (1) sustainability awareness can be identified in various aspects, such as instruments with the distribution of seven articles, gender differences with one article, and the existence of a sustainability awareness category covered in three articles from the total articles reviewed; (2) there are fluctuating trends in sustainability awareness research among high school students in Indonesia; and (3) the distribution of research on sustainability awareness has not been evenly distributed in all provinces in Indonesia, and so far it is still dominated by research conducted in West Java Province. These findings point to the need for equitable distribution of research in different regions to get a more comprehensive picture of the level of sustainability awareness across Indonesia.

Management of Food Security Culturization in Nature Elementary Schools: Policy, Learning, and Student Engagement

Food insecurity affects every aspect of student development. Cultivating food security through education can be implemented through the culturization of food security in nature schools, and it is encouraged to be managed at the elementary level. Research relating to differences in the influence of nature school management on food security has not yet been found. This research aims to analyze the differences in the influence of general and Islamic school management on the culturization of food security. This research used a quantitative approach with a multivariate analysis of variance method using SPSS software. Data were collected using questionnaires of 20 items consisting of three aspects: school policy, learning activity, and student engagement. The participants were 28 principals and representatives in 15 nature elementary schools in West Java Province, Indonesia. The respondents were chosen from a population of nature elementary school principals using purposive sampling. The sampling encompasses the distribution of nature elementary schools based on types of school management and their distributive location. The result of the multivariate test shows a value of 0,260 0.05. This result means that different types of school management have an insignificant impact on the culturization of food security. The weakest aspect is school policy, with a mean score of 15.93, while learning activity and student engagement obtain a mean score of 27.25 and 27.50 for each. These findings imply that school policy in nature elementary schools must be improved to support a food security culture.

The Role of Village Government in the Orderly Land Administration in Dayeuhluhur Village, Tempuran District, Karawang Regency as an Implementation of Agrarian Reform

Order of village land is the process of managing and regulating land at the village government level. According to Law Number 6 Year 2014, villages are authorized to manage local governance matters, including those related to land issues. This research aims to understand the implementation of land administration systems in Dayeuhluhur Village, Tempuran Subdistrict, Karawang Regency, West Java Province. The method used is juridical-empirical, incorporating interviews and direct observations in Dayeuhluhur Village, along with data analysis from literature as supporting evidence. Data collected is qualitatively analyzed to explain findings derived from observations and journal records. Data was gathered from primary sources such as interviews and observations, as well as secondary sources like documents. The study's findings indicate that the land administration system in Dayeuhluhur Village functions effectively. However, it also reveals that the role of the Dayeuhluhur Village government in land administration is not yet ideal due to several reasons, including weaknesses in human resources, lack of coordination with relevant agencies, deficiencies in village land administration systems and procedures, and inadequate community awareness of the importance of orderly land administration. Therefore, due to these inhibiting factors, the village government is less effective in ensuring orderly land administration, both internally and externally. By addressing these barriers, it is hoped that the village government's role in ensuring orderly land administration can be maximized to benefit the community and the village as a whole.

Epistemology Of Legal Studies: Research Method Characteristics of Theoretical Law Bearers in Indonesia

Doctorate students of legal studies programs in Indonesia use various research methods. This paper aims to analyze research methods patterns used by doctorate students of legal studies in six Indonesian universities. The authors analyzed dissertations from the Doctorate Program of Legal Studies in the following universities: Universitas Indonesia (Depok, West Java), Universitas Padjajaran (Bandung, West Java Province), Universitas Sumatera Utara (Medan, North Sumatra Province), Universitas Airlangga (Surabaya, East Java Province), Universitas Diponegoro (Semarang, Central Java Province), and Universitas Hasanuddin (Makassar, South Sulawesi Province). This philosophical method research used secondary data obtained using the literature review method in the form of dissertations from six universities that establish legal studies doctorate programs. Results showed that there are three patterns of epistemology used by doctorate program students of legal studies in Indonesia, namely those that are based on the doctrinal approach, those based on the non-doctrinal approach, and those based on the combined approach between the doctrinal and the non-doctrinal approaches. In this research, some dissertations with the epistemological pattern were also found that are is based on theoretical assumptions sourced from the teachings of the positivistic legal philosophy school of thought as taught by Austin and Kelsen.

Pemodelan Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Kejadian HIV/AIDS di Provinsi Jawa Barat

Indonesia is focusing on preparing for Indonesia’s Golden 2045 through the Golden Generation. The Golden Generation is expected to be the country's quality and superior human resource. The province of West Java, with the largest population in Indonesia, plays an important role in realizing Indonesia's Golden 2045 ambition. However, the high HIV/AIDS incidence in West Java is a major challenge that could potentially hinder Indonesia’s achievement of the 2045 Gold Plan. The Ministry of Health has launched the Three Zero HIV/AIDS concept to meet one of Indonesia's Golden 2045 pillars. Based on this, the study aims to identify factors that influence the number of HIV/AIDS cases in West Java. The HIV/AIDS case is a data count, so the approach used in this study is Poisson Regression. The results of the study showed that the number of cases of violence (X1), the percentage of use of condom contraceptives among members of the Family Planning (KB) program (X2), population density (X3), the proportion of poor population (X4), and number of health facilities per 100,000 inhabitants (X5) were related to cases of HIV/AIDS in the West Java Province. It is seen from the p-value of each variable X is 0.0 except the population density is worth 0.003. Having identified significant factors influencing cases of HIV/AIDS in West Java, the government is expected to enhance cooperation with relevant agencies in reducing the risk of the number of cases in Western Java. Thus, Three Zero in West Java can be achieved by 2030.

Switching intention of conventional bank customers to Sharia bank based on push-pull-mooring theory

PurposeThis study aims to see the variables of customer satisfaction level, attractiveness of alternatives, subjective norms and level of religiosity of conventional bank customers in West Java and their effect on switching intentions.Design/methodology/approachA causality description technique with a quantitative approach is used in this research. The analytical technique used is partial least square-structural equation modeling with a sample of 320 respondents from conventional bank customers in West Java.FindingsThe results revealed that the level of customer satisfaction and subjective norms were in the medium category, whereas the level of alternative attractiveness, religiosity and switching intentions was in high level. The level of customer satisfaction harms switching intentions, whereas the level of alternative attractiveness and religiosity variables have a positive effect on switching intentions. In contrast, the subjective norm variable does not affect switching intentions. Therefore, customer satisfaction, the attractiveness of alternatives and religiosity are essential points to cause someone to have the intention to switch.Practical implicationsFor stakeholders, especially the government or the Islamic banking industry, to improve the climate of the Islamic finance industry in Indonesia, in particular, to increase knowledge and insight from the public regarding the intention to switch conventional bank customers to Islamic banks.Originality/valueThe use of the religiosity variable as an independent variable on switching intentions is still rarely done. Hence, the authors combine this variable with customer satisfaction, alternative attractiveness and subjective norms. The update in this study also places conventional bank customers included in the millennial generation and generation Z categories who live in the province of West Java as research subjects.

KAJIAN TENTANG KARAKTERISTIK KELUARGA DAN POLA PEMBERIAN MPASI DAN HUBUNGANNYA DENGAN STATUS GIZI ANAK BALITA

The introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods is positively associated with nutritional status and reduces the likelihood of stunting. The results of the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey in 2022 showed that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia still reached 21.6%. West Java Province has a stunting prevalence of 20.2%, while in Bogor City it is still 19.3%. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between family characteristics, complementary feeding patterns and the nutritional status of toddlers. The research design used a mix method (quantitative and qualitative). Quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach and qualitative research with indepth interviews (exploring complementary feeding patterns, problems, handling and educational needs related to complementary feeding). The qualitative exploration result were analyzed using deductive thematic. The study population was all toddlers aged 12-60 months in Bogor City, the sample size was 120 with purposive sampling. Statistical tests used chi-square test and Mann-whitney test. The results showed a significant relationship between family characteristics and patterns of complementary feeding with the children’s nutritional status under five. The results of qualitative exploration showed there were four themes, namely First, social and cultural and adverse beliefs. Second, lack of knowledge, Third, the environment (home and residence) is less supportive. Fourth, poor economy. The research concluded that there was a relationship between family characteristics and patterns of complementary feeding with the nutritional status of children under five. Efforts are needed to overcome the problem of stunting through education about complementary feeding.

Past and future land use change dynamics: assessing the impact of urban development on agricultural land in the Pantura Jabar region, Indonesia.

The conversion of large-scale agricultural land into urban areas poses a significant challenge to achieving national and global food security targets, as outlined in Sustainable Development Goal number 2, which aims to eradicate hunger. Indonesia has experienced a significant decline in rice field areas, with a reduction of approximately 650 thousand hectares within a year (2017-2018), the largest being in Java. Hence, this study aims to examine the impact of urban expansion on agricultural land in the north coast region of West Java Province from 2013 to 2020 and develop a predictive model for 2030 to support sustainable land use planning. The primary methods employed were random forest (RF) analysis using Google Earth Engine, intensity analysis, multilayer perceptron-neural network (MLP-NN), Markov chains-cellular automata (Markov-CA), and stakeholder interviews. The model also evaluated the influence of "distance to tollgates" as a previously unexplored driving factor in existing land use modeling studies. Landsat image classification results using the RF algorithm showed 87-88% accuracy. Cropland has historically been and is projected to remain the primary target for the expansion of built-up areas. Spatial planning irregularities were found in the growth of these areas that adversely affected farmers' socioeconomic and environmental conditions. Evaluation of land use models using MLP-NN and Markov-CA demonstrated an accuracy rate of 86.29-86.23%. The distance to tollgates factor significantly impacts the models, albeit less than population density. The 2030 intervention scenario, which implements a firm policy for sustainable agricultural land use, offers the potential to maintain the predicted cropland loss compared to business as usual.

Pre-Service Chemistry Teachers’ Preconceptions about Rare Earth Coordination Chemistry: Results from an Explorative Interview Study

This research aims to identify students' preconceptions about rare earth coordination chemistry. The method used in this research is exploratory interviews. This research involved 25 pre-service chemistry teacher at a university in West Java Province, Indonesia. The collected data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The research results showed that 60% of students were able to identify electronic waste as a source of valuable metals, but others did not know that there were rare earth metals contained in it. As many as 32% know ionic liquids as environmentally friendly solvents, but the majority of students do not understand the physicochemical properties of ionic liquids and the interactions between ionic liquids and rare earth metals. As many as 8% of students were able to explain the reaction to form rare earth metal coordination compounds correctly, while only 4% were able to explain the concept of luminescence in these compounds. These findings indicate the need for coordination chemistry course design that accommodates students' learning needs and links them to relevant environmental contexts to improve students' understanding and systems thinking skills.

A new species of Keratodegnathus Pace in Indonesia (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)

The genus Keratodegnathus Pace includes two species known to occur in Malaysia (Sabah and Pahang). A third species, Keratodegnathus javanicus sp. n. is described, based on a female specimen from Indonesia (West Java Province). As the morphology of Keratodegnathus was previously inadequately described, a detailed scanning electron microscopy examination was carried out to characterize the new species. Keratodegnathus mirabilis Pace, 2014 was transferred by Assing to Orphnebius Motschulsky, resulting in a secondary homonymy with Orphnebius mirabilis (Bernhauer, 1911). Orphnebius mirabilides nom. n. is proposed as a replacement name for Orphnebius mirabilis (Pace).
