Analysis of Perceptions and Likes for Chicken Nugget Products among Consumers in North Kayong, West Kalimantan

Currently, there is a tendency for consumers to prefer frozen food. This study aims to analyze the perceptions and preferences of chicken nugget products on consumers in North Kayong, West Borneo. The research uses a survey method by distributing questionnaires. The perceived variables tested were price perception, quality, organoleptic, and brand. Descriptive test using a Likert scale on each perception variable is used to determine the level of consumer perception. Spearman rank correlation test is used to determine the relationship of each perception variable. Data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 103 respondents with an age range of 15 years to 50 years and domiciled in North Kayong Regency and the sample was selected purposively. Consumers of chicken nugget products in North Kayong Regency stated that they rarely consume as much as 69%. The reason consumers like nugget products are highest on the taste aspect. Consumer perceptions of chicken nugget obtained are very good

Fate of methane in canals draining tropical peatlands.

Tropical wetlands and freshwaters are major contributors to the growing atmospheric methane (CH4) burden. Extensive peatland drainage has lowered CH4 emissions from peat soils in Southeast Asia, but the canals draining these peatlands may be hotspots of CH4 emissions. Alternatively, CH4 oxidation (consumption) by methanotrophic microorganisms may attenuate emissions. Here, we used laboratory experiments and a synoptic survey of the isotopic composition of CH4 in 34 canals across West Kalimantan, Indonesia to quantify the proportion of CH4 that is consumed and therefore not emitted to the atmosphere. We find that CH4 oxidation mitigates 76.4 ± 12.0% of potential canal emissions, reducing emissions by ~70 mg CH4 m-2 d-1. Methane consumption also significantly impacts the stable isotopic fingerprint of canal CH4 emissions. As canals drain over 65% of peatlands in Southeast Asia, our results suggest that CH4 oxidation significantly influences landscape-scale CH4 emissions from these ecosystems.

PERANCANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI AKUNTANSI BERBASIS FRAMEWORK CODEIGNITER PADA MASJID AN NUR KABUPATEN SANGGAU

The mosque is a non-profit organization, whose income is based on voluntary donations from the community. The An Nur Mosque's financial management still uses conventional or manual methods. To improve accountable and transparent financial reporting, an accounting information system design was created that uses a website with the codeigniter framework method at the An Nur Mosque in Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan. This research aims to develop an accounting information system that uses the codeigniter framework, with a focus on making it easier to prepare financial reports for the An Nur Mosque. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative with a waterfall method approach which includes various steps such as needs analysis, design, implementation and testing. The results of this research show that the design of an accounting information system can help non-profit organizations, especially the An Nur Mosque, in preparing more accurate and transparent financial reports.

‘People of the barracks’: Meta-beliefs of a migrant community in West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Literature discussing contents of meta-beliefs, or beliefs about other beliefs, and what effects they have on intergroup relationships, specifically among disadvantaged groups are rare. Our study aims to explore meta-beliefs among the resettled Sambas Madurese community, in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, who were affected by the 1999 Sambas Conflict. We adopted an ethnographic approach, with a three-month live-in duration, conducting interviews, casual conversations, and taking part in community activities. Our findings reveal two important contents of meta-belief held by the Sambas Madurese migrants: ‘people of the barracks’, and ‘evil and criminal’. As a disadvantaged group, the Sambas Madurese resort to more covert and subtle forms of resistance, mainly through reappropriation and daily life changes to disprove meta-beliefs. Here, reappropriation of those negative meta-beliefs, mainly linked to moral superiority, is employed. It is observed that the contents of meta-belief go beyond cognitive aspects, including strong emotive components and behavioral responses. Our study hopes to contribute to a discussion on intergroup relationships among host and disadvantaged migrant communities from ethnic conflict backgrounds.

Using a quantitative methodology with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data from 384 respondents was analyzed. Findings indicate that CRM and service quality are significant factors in customer satisfaction, with customer trust enhancing these effects. The government’s role further moderates satisfaction, suggesting policy and regulatory support are essential for public sector service providers.

Christology of Tuak-Tempayan: Christological Endeavors in the Land of Western Borneo

This paper presents Christological research conducted in Nanga Mahap (Sekadau, West Kalimantan). The main focus of this study is on the phenomenon of Tuak Tempayan, a significant cultural reality considered to hold a wealth of values with open possibilities for Christological interpretation for the teaching of faith. Tuak Tempayan can be a means ofCatechesis in explaining the reality of Jesus Christ who has divine and human nature, God and Man. The research was carried out using a new methodology called Phenomenological Research. This method is a phenomenological approach applied to the pure experience of an encounter within a culture and then validated through research to arrive at its original meaning. The results are then interpreted dialogically with Christology to arrive at a new meaning for catechesis and the transformation of faith life. Such an effort is nothing but doing Christology from the context, an attempt to understand Jesus Christ through localities and local contexts.

Data were collected through a questionnaire about first aid actions. The results showed that 47% of respondents had adequate first aid knowledge, 46% had good knowledge, and 7% had poor knowledge. In conclusion, the majority of students at SMA Mujahidin Pontianak have adequate knowledge of first aid.

Evaluation of the Validation Process of Prospective Recipients of Educational Scholarships on the Siaplah Platform: A Case Study at The West Kalimantan Provincial Education and Culture Office

This study aims to evaluate the validation process of prospective recipients of educational scholarships through the Siaplah platform implemented by the West Kalimantan Education and Culture Office. The research methods used in this study are Business Process Improvement (BPI) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Because BPI can evaluate in aligning processes with organizational goals and strategies. In the context of this research, BPI can assist the West Kalimantan Education and Culture Office to ensure that the scholarship validation process supports the achievement of organizational goals related to education. Meanwhile, FMEA is used to identify potential risks, failures, and weaknesses in the validation process. Through this analysis, research can identify critical points in the process that could lead to failures or problems. So the FMEA can be improved by giving a score on each risk and impact. Research results: Business process recommendations for prospective PBP recipients are made based on the design of business process improvement that has been carried out using the Business Process Improvement (BPI) method. Some activities have changed, activities that have been added to activities that have been removed. From the results of simulations carried out on the current business process (as it is) and business process recommendations (to be), it was found that the increase in time analysis reached 02.8% in the business process of prospective PBP recipients, 1.44% in the implementation of the business of prospective PBP recipients, and 1.55% in the business evaluation of prospective PBP recipients.

A Review of Palm Oil Plasma Land Conflicts from the Perspective of Agrarian Reform: Analysis of Decision Number 3661 K/PDT/2019

Abstract: The government has addressed disparities in palm oil plantation ownership through the partnership model of the Nucleus Estate Smallholder Plantation (PIR-BUN) using a core-plasma scheme as outlined in Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 1986, aiming to achieve agrarian reform. However, in practice, the nucleus-plasma scheme has led to land conflicts and issues, one of which occurred in Teluk Bakung Village, West Kalimantan. Therefore, to ensure the effective implementation of the nucleus-plasma scheme in the future and the realization of agrarian reform, it is necessary to investigate the causes of plasma land conflicts in Teluk Bakung Village and the impacts of these conflicts on agrarian reform efforts. This study adopts a normative juridical method, examining secondary data from literature and primary data from Supreme Court Decision No. 3661 K/PDT/2019 concerning PT PALM’s default in profit-sharing on plasma land. The findings indicate that plasma land conflicts arise from differing interpretations of the 20% provision for community plantation development, inadequacies in institutional support and processes for the PIR-BUN program, and a lack of transparency from the nucleus company. These conflicts ultimately negatively impact the socio-economic aspects of plasma farmers in Teluk Bakung Village and hinder agrarian reform efforts, particularly in the region. Keywords: Agrarian Reform, PIR-BUN, Plasma Land

Factors Influencing Exclusive Breastfeeding in Rahayu Village, Sanggau, West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in the community is generally influenced by a lack of maternal knowledge, family support, and cultural influences. This results in a very low exclusive breastfeeding coverage rate, which has the potential to cause various future health problems, such as infections, fevers, and other diseases. This study aims to identify the factors influencing exclusive breastfeeding in Rahayu Village, Sanggau, West Kalimantan. This is an analytic observational study with a case-control design. The population consisted of mothers who had children aged from 6 months and 1 day to 24 months, totaling 90 people. A total of 72 respondents were purposively selected for this study. The analysis used the chi-square statistical test with a 95% confidence level. The results showed that there was a relationship between age (p=0.002; OR=5.3), education level (p=0.031; OR=3.2), IMD (p=0.017; OR=3.6), culture (p=0.000; OR=8.2), knowledge (p=0.000; OR=10), and family support (p=0.000; OR=17.5) and exclusive breastfeeding in the Rahayu Village Study Community in the Working Area of Puskesmas Pusat Damai, Sanggau. The study also found several factors that did not have a relationship with exclusive breastfeeding, including work (p=0.156), parity (p=0.236), income (p=1.000), birth attendants (p=0.107), and place of delivery (p=0.260). It is expected that all sectors of government agencies will collaborate to address issues related to knowledge, family support, and conflicting cultural traditions to better support exclusive breastfeeding programs.

Problems of Good Governance in Managing Indonesia’s Borderland: The Case of Entikong Subdistrict

The present study explores the good governance processes of border management in Entikong Subdistrict. The Entikong Subdistrict in West Kalimantan is a priority district that receives special attention from Indonesian central and local governments. The Entikong border post started operating in 1989, making it the first land border in Indonesia. Nevertheless, despite its aged history and many development efforts within the area, the economic growth and welfare of the border community remained stagnant. The data for this article were collected through a field work in Entikong for four months in 2022 in which we conducted observation, interviews, and focus group discussion with local residents and government officers. This study reveals that good governance became the focal issue explaining Entikong’s lack of development by providing two problems in the border development at Entikong: 1) the government’s inconsistency on the road widening project and 2) the complexity of governance and bureaucracy. This paper further elaborates on the essence of locality in good governance practices while simultaneously addressing the authority division problems and communication towards the demands of the local community. This study argues that better public communication patterns should be implemented to avoid misunderstandings within the community and increase the participation of local citizens, government, and civil society in the development process of the border area.

ANALISIS MODEL PEMBELAJARAN PjBL DALAM MEMBANGUN PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA DAN PENERAPAN P5 PADA KURIKULUM MERDEKA

The research, which focuses on Project Based Learning (PjBL), aims to foster character and learning independence in students and still refers to the Pancasila Student Profile. This study uses a qualitative descriptive methodology. The sample in this study was taken using non-probability sampling techniques. In accordance with the findings of the research using a project-based learning model, the initiative to improve the profile of Pancasila students at SMP Negeri 3 Sungai Pinyuh was carried out with a project-based learning model. This can be seen from the activities in the P5 activity with the theme of Local Wisdom, namely the manufacture of West Kalimantan's typical food, Spicy Porridge. In addition, the Project Based Learning learning model can be applied to mathematics learning as a novelty in mathematics learning, namely the creation of posters for grade VII ratio materials

A serial case of Japanese encephalitis in West Kalimantan

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an important, vaccine-preventable cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. This medical condition has a high morbidity and mortality rate, remains an under-recognized cause of encephalitis, with high rate of mortality and severe sequelae in children, especially in West Kalimantan. However, poor surveillance has made the burden difficult to quantify, hindering decisions about subsidized vaccine introduction. In this serial case, the most common clinical presentations of JE were fever, altered mental status, seizures, vomiting, and positive meningeal irritation signs or pathologic reflexes. The JE mortality rate was as high as 40%. These highlight the need of disease surveillance, diagnostic kits supply, and health education to increase public disease awareness.

Language, Cultural Sentiments, and Ethnic Conflict: Understanding Verbal Violence and Discrimination in Multi-Ethnic Schools in West Kalimantan, Indonesia

ABSTRACT Violence, racism, and xenophobia among immigrants often stem from deep-seated language and cultural disparities, transcending mere racial or ethnic categorizations. This in-depth study, conducted among 16 informants representing diverse ethnic backgrounds—majorities, minorities, and educators in West Kalimantan’s multi-ethnic schools—employs an ethnographic approach. Delving into the tapestry of field data and factual insights, this research unveils how verbal violence and discrimination germinate from the complex interplay of language and cultural biases among students. Echoes of superiority resonate within the majority ethnic group, where language and culture are perceived as hallmarks of local eminence, relegating ethnic minorities to second-class status. The study’s findings trace this arrogance to a historical tapestry woven from conflicts between native ethnic factions and immigrant communities, culminating in the stark social segregation between them. A fascinating implication emerges, highlighting the pivotal role of Indonesia as a bridge for inter-ethnic communication. Its use fosters social cohesion, harmony, and inter-ethnic tolerance. This research charts a roadmap towards rectifying past missteps, assuaging grievances, and charting strategies to avert future inter-ethnic discord caused by deep-rooted cultural and linguistic differences.

APPLICATION OF K-MEANS++ WITH DUNN INDEX VALIDATION OF GROUPING WEST KALIMANTAN REGION BASED ON CRIME VULNERABILITY

Crime is an unlawful behavior that will be given a punishment or sanctions based on Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) or other regulations in Indonesia. One of the provinces in Indonesia, namely West Kalimantan reported that criminal cases are increasing in 2021 and 2022. One of the solutions to minimize that case is grouping the district and city in West Kalimantan based on the level of vulnerability so the authority can be more responsive in solving these problems. The grouping can be done by cluster analysis. This analysis aims to group some objects based on the similarity of characteristics. K-Means++ is one of the methods of cluster analysis. K-Means++ is the development of K-Means, in which K-Means++ is smarter than K-Means in selecting the initial centroid because only one initial centroid is chosen randomly, and the initial centroids of the other clusters are done through calculations. This research uses secondary data from BPS of West Kalimantan, consisting of 10 variables. This research aims to form clusters to determine the level of vulnerability of each district and city in West Kalimantan. The selection of the optimal cluster is done by evaluating the cluster. One of these evaluations is the Dunn Index. Based on the analysis results, the optimum number of clusters is with a Dunn Index value of 0.55. The first cluster is categorized as non-vulnerable with ten members, the second cluster as vulnerable with three members, and the third cluster as very vulnerable with one member.

CLUSTER MAPPING OF HOTSPOTS USING KERNEL DENSITY ESTIMATION IN WEST KALIMANTAN

Forest and land fires pose a recurring concern every year in Indonesia, often taking place in West Kalimantan Province, particularly during the dry season. This study aims to use the Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to categorize the data of the hotspots in the province of West Kalimantan according to their density and to map the cluster level of the fire risks in the region. The data utilized in this study are secondary data obtained from the images of the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instrument, which are available on firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov and provided by NASA. The data focuses on hotspots dispersed across West Kalimantan province during 2020. The variables examined in the study were the confidence level (≥80%) of forest and land fire hotspots, the distance from each point to the nearest river, and the distance from each point to the nearest road. The kernel density estimation method with a Gaussian kernel function yielded clustering results into three distinct groups according to their vulnerability levels. Low vulnerability areas comprise Cluster 1, which consists of 127 points or 50.97% of the total hotspots. Medium vulnerability areas belong to Cluster 2, which has 47 points or 30.32% of the total. Cluster 3 includes high vulnerability locations, consisting of 29 points or 18.71% of the total. The most susceptible areas to forest and land fires are located within the Ketapang regency.

Drought Analysis in Ketapang District using the Keetch-Byram Drought Index Method

Ketapang Regency is one of the areas in West Kalimantan that is prone to drought. Drought can trigger forest and land fires. In this research, the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) method was used to determine the level of drought in Ketapang Regency. The KBDI method relies on annual rainfall accumulation, daily rainfall, and maximum air temperature. The KBDI values obtained were correlated with the number of hotspots using Pearson correlation. This research was conducted throughout 2018-2022. Based on the monthly average KBDI value, the highest drought in Ketapang Regency occurred in August and September, while the lowest drought occurred in December and January. In terms of the annual average, the highest drought occurred in 2019. During the ENSO phenomenon in 2019, the El Niño phase experienced higher drought than the La Niña phase and normal years. In the El Niño phase, drought levels reach high to extreme categories. The correlation value between annual KBDI and the number of hotspots is 0.88, indicating a solid relationship. An increase in the KBDI value will be followed by an increasing number of hotspots.

The Impact of Maqashid Syariah on the Human Development Index (HDI): The Case of Indonesia

This study investigates how the Maqashid al-Shariah framework, encompassing the protection of religion (Hifzu al-Din), life (Hifzu al-Nafs), intellect (Hifzu al-Aql), progeny (Hifzu al-Nasl), and property (Hifzu al-Mal), influences Indonesia's Human Development Index (HDI). This study utilises qualitative research methods and incorporates Eviews-12 software for data analysis, notably using panel data regression techniques with selected Common Effect Model (CEM). The research sample included eight provinces, namely: Papua, West Papua, East Nusa Tenggara, West Sulawesi, West Kalimantan, West Nusa Tenggara, North Maluku, and Gorontalo for the timeframe of 2019-2022. The analysis revealed that protecting religion (Hifzu al-Din) and protecting the mind (Hifzu al-Aql) significantly influence Indonesia's HDI. Interestingly, protecting life (Hifzu al-Nafs), offspring (Hifzu al-Nasl), and property (Hifzu al-Mal) did not show a statistically significant direct impact on HDI in this study. One limitation of the study is the reliance on data from only eight provinces, which may not be representative of the whole territory of Indonesia. The novelty of the research lies in its utilization of the maqashid sharia approach to analyze human development indicators in specific provinces of Indonesia, providing a unique perspective on the factors influencing development in Islamic contexts.

The Effect of Transformational Leadership Towards Affective Commitment In Vocational Schoolof West Kalimantan

<p>In the era of industrial revolution 4.0, the functional reformation must be conducted to vocational education. The vocational education sector has been in a crucial position to prepare good quality human resources (teachers and students) that are well-prepared in the era of industrial revolution 4.0. An ability of computer literacy and noble character (akhlakul karimah) of human resources are two essential aspects that have been concern in the effort of the superior human preparation. Therefore, this aim of this study is to develop a new model of affective commitment and see its impact to transformational leadership in vocational school across west Kalimantan. A quantitative approach using partial least squares path modeling (PLS-SEM) Wrappls version 7 was used to calculate 254 data sample from 29 private and public vocational high schools throughout West Kalimantan. The result revealed that the role of affective commitment as a mediating variable had been able to provide a positive and significant influence as well as this variable was able to improve the performance of leaders and teachers in vocational high schools throughout West Kalimantan through exogenous variables in the form of transformational leadership.</p>
