Child drowning in Indonesia: insights from parental and community perspectives and practices.

Child drowning is a significant public health issue in Indonesia, however, there is insufficient understanding of the issue and its associated risk factors within communities. This qualitative study aimed to explore parental and community perceptions and practices related to child drowning in Indonesian communities, and the perceived causes and risk factors. Seven focus group discussions (n = 62) were conducted with parents of children aged under-5 years and village community leaders in seven villages across all districts of Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia. Participants were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. The thematic analysis, guided by Braun and Clarke's framework, used both deductive approaches, utilizing the Health Belief Model's constructs and inductive approaches. Most participants were unaware of the susceptibility of their children and others in their community to drowning and of the potential severe outcomes of drowning such as injury, disability and death. Participants generally associated drowning with beaches or open seas. Unprotected wells, tubs and buckets were identified as notable risk factors for child drowning in and around the home, shaped by some experience of child drowning incidents in the community. Supervision was identified as protective factor, however, mothers were often unavailable to supervise children, and supervision responsibility was often delegated to other family and community members. This study highlights the urgent need to enhance public awareness regarding children's susceptibility to drowning. Further exploration of local contexts and social determinants of drowning in Indonesian communities is crucial for ensuring effective water safety and drowning prevention strategies.

Crossing of F2BC4P19-36 promising line with IPB 3S variety resulted in red rice strains. These strains were selected until obtaining the F5 generation. The research aimed to determine the genetic diversity, heritability values, and genotypic correlation coefficients among quantitative traits for yield of red rice strains in dryland with a continuous cropping system. The study was conducted from May to September 2023 in Tampak Siring Village, Batukliang, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. It employed a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 14 genotypes, replicated three times, totaling 42 treatments. Data analysis was performed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level. Genetic diversity, assessed broadly, was indicated by traits such as the number of unproductive tillers, number of filled grains, and number of unfilled grains; moderately by traits such as number of productive tillers, total tillers, 100-grain weight, and grain weight per panicle; and narrowly by traits such as plant height, panicle length, flowering duration, and harvesting period. Heritability values were high for yield, moderate for total tillers, number of filled and unfilled grains, 100-grain weight, and flowering duration, and low for traits like plant height, number of productive and unproductive tillers, panicle length, grain weight per panicle, and harvesting period. Genotypic correlation coefficients showed positive associations with yield for traits such as panicle length, grain weight per panicle, and flowering duration, whereas negative correlations were observed with yield for the number of unproductive tillers. Genetic diversity, heritability values, and correlation coefficients serve as determinants for selection criteria

Biophysics indicators as the sustainable strategy for river pollution control (case study in Jangkok River, Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara)

Background: Sungai Jangkok is one of those considered heavily polluted in NTB. The Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) value has exceeded the standard for Class II water quality, and according to the Family Biotic Index (FBI) value, the river falls under the category of heavy organic pollution. The research objective is to realize sustainable management of the Jangkok Watershed in accordance with its river functions by implementing pollution control strategies. Methods: Data collection was conducted using questionnaires and interviews with the public and stakeholders (government and NGOs). Water quality data was obtained from DLHK NTB and DLH Mataram City, and sampling was carried out using the composite sample technique. The methods employed were STORET, QUAL2Kw, logistic regression, and SWOT. Findings: The research findings indicate that, in general, the Jangkok River in Mataram City falls into the heavily polluted category from 2015 to 2022, with an average STORET score of -79.25. Moreover, the pollution loads of BOD, COD, and TSS entering the river have exceeded the pollution carrying capacity. The condition is influenced by several factors, including the less favorable perception of pollution status (67%) and the usefulness of the river (59%) by the community. Additionally, the persistent behavior of littering and/or defecating in the river (23%), inadequate preventive practices (59%), insufficient wastewater disposal facilities (40%), and improper waste management (58%) are contributing factors. Moreover, the existence of houses backing up to the river (59%) also plays a role in the current condition. Some of the causes are the lack of synergy across administrative regions between stakeholders, the absence of law enforcement for the community, dependency on government budget for work programs, and the lack of incentives. Conclusion: The conclusion of this research suggests that the most effective strategy for taking is to develop a program for reducing pollutant loads that is integrated across districts and cities, integrated across agencies with various levels of authority, integrated with the community, and in accordance with the river's actual conditions and the socioeconomic community. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study provides a novel approach by integrating quantitative water quality modeling (QUAL2Kw) with community behavior analysis to develop a sustainable and comprehensive strategy for controlling river pollution in the Jangkok watershed, Mataram City.

Halal Food, Religiosity, and Attitudes Toward Intention to Use Products and Services of Sharia-Compliant Hotels in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara

This study was motivated by the limited research on tourist behavior towards Sharia-compliant hotels. Lombok Island was selected for this study due to its recognition as the premier halal tourism destination in Indonesia, showcasing significant advancements and attractions that cater to the needs of Muslim travelers. Its objective is to predict how halal food, religiosity, and the attitudes of Muslim tourists influence their intention to utilize products and services offered by Sharia-compliant hotels. Structural equation modeling was employed with a sample of 154 visitors to Sharia-compliant hotels on Lombok Island, namely Grand Legi Hotel, Lombok Plaza Hotel, Lombok Raya Hotel, Pratama Hotel, and Santika Hotel. The findings reveal that both halal food and religiosity exert positive influences on attitudes, subsequently enhancing the intention of Muslim tourists to use the products and services provided by Sharia-compliant hotels. We recommend that future research explore other variables influencing tourists' attitudes and intentions to use Sharia-compliant hotel products and services. Additionally, tourism policymakers should pay attention to the importance of halal food and beverages and the religiosity of tourists to enhance the overall quality of halal tourism.
