Comparison of Mobility Behavior of Children from a Physical Education Kindergarten with Children from a Regular Kindergarten

/in /by

Mobility in the sense of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health ICF-CY is an important prerequisite for participation in everyday life. The present study aims to show to what extent a movement promotion program in kindergarten has an effect on mobility behavior. Methods: The sample consists of 46 boys and 34 girls (age 4.51 ± .98 years) from one regular and one physical education kindergarten. The MobiScreen 4-6 was performed. Group differences were examined using a t-test, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the effects of the predictors kindergarten affiliation, age, sex, born premature, sports club membership, and number of sports hours in the club. Results: Total time shows a strong multiple coefficient of R = .75 with an explained variance of R² = .57; total score also shows strong values of R = .59 and R² = .35. Age and sports club membership are the strongest predictors for both variables. Conclusions: Since raw values are analyzed for total time and score, the high influence of age is obvious. The effect of sports club membership indicates that the children may be better supported in their free time than in the concept of physical education kindergarten. Therefore, the concept of the physical education kindergarten should be reviewed and standardized.

Utilization of Jackfruit (Artocarpus Heterophyllus) Seeds as Raw Material for Vegetable Milk

/in /by

Efforts must be conducted to utilize all resources due to the rising vegetarian population, decreasing food supply, high cost of animal-based food sources, increasing lactose intolerant population, and health reasons. Therefore, this research aims to utilize jackfruit seeds as the ingredient of plant-based milk that is nutritious and liked by the panelists from its color, flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel through determining the exact temperature and pasteurization period during its making. This research uses the experimental methods with a factorial Randomized Block Design, in which the first factor is the pasteurization temperature (T1: 60oC, T2: 70oC, and T3: 80oC), and the second factor is the pasteurization period (L1: 1 minute; L2: 2 minutes, and L3: 3 minutes). Each treatment combination is repeated three times. The research shows that jackfruit seed milk using different temperature and pasteurization periods contains 2.32-3.25% protein, 1.02-1.18% fat, and 10.50-12.00obrix of total soluble solids. The overall result of the sensory test (color, flavor, aroma, mouthfeel) shows that the panelists like jackfruit seed milk. The utilization of jackfruit seeds in plant-based milk is one of the solutions to provide alternative beverages with nutrition contents similar to cow milk and reduce the dependency on soybean, whose price continues to rise.

The Analysis of the Implementation of Research-Based Learning with STEM Approach to Improving the Students’ Metaliteracy in Solving the Resolving Strong Dominating Set Problem on traffic CCTV placement

/in /by

Metaliteracy is urgently needed in the digital era, however, is still not widely owned by students. This metaliteracy requires high-level thinking skills to process various problems with various media sources, as well as it requires a collaborative environment. To achieve a good metaliteracy equipped with a higher thinking skill, we will implement research-based learning with a STEM approach in the learning process. This study uses a mixed-method by combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The subject of this study is the students of mathematics education as the candidates for teachers. They are grouped into two classes, namely, experiment class and control class. We used an independent sample t-test to determine the significant difference in the students’ metaliteracy between the experiment class and the control class under the implementation of the research-based learning model with the STEM approach to resolve the strong domination problem. Before testing the significant difference, we tested the homogeneity. The test results on the pre-test items showed that the significance score is 0.747 > 0.05, meaning the two classes are homogeneous. The independent sample t-test showed that the score is 0.020 < 0.05, which indicates that the difference between the two classes is significant. It implies that implementing the research-based learning materials with a STEM approach affects the students’ metaliteracy improvements.

Proposed Marketing Strategy to Increase Awareness of Linkaja’s Benefits

/in /by

The e-wallet industry in Indonesia is growing, with these developments creating intense competition. LinkAja is one of the e-wallet in Indonesia which was launched in 2019. LinkAja is initiated by BUMN (State-owned enterprises) and HIMBARA (State-owned bank association). LinkAja’s total awareness is quite high compared to its competitors, but just some customer regularly uses it. It is clear that although consumers are aware of the LinkAja brand, they are unfamiliar of its benefits. The purpose of this study is to propose a suitable marketing strategy to increase awareness of LinkAja’s benefit which is expected to increase the initiation of increasing the number of active users. Researchers use qualitative and quantitative methodologies in conducting research. Data collection is done by conducting interviews with LinkAja employees, distributing questionnaires to customers, and also collecting other supporting data. External and internal analysis was carried out to map the SWOT analysis. The tools used to perform external analysis are PEST (Political, Economic, Social, Technological) analysis, Porter’s Five Forces, and customer analysis. While the tools used to perform internal analysis are STP (Segmenting, Targeting, Positioning) analysis and marketing mix. The proposed new marketing strategy is carried out using the TOWS matrix derived from the SWOT analysis. There are eight new marketing strategies classified into marketing mix variables that represent, product, price, place, and promotion. Some of the marketing strategies are optimizing LinkAja as a solution for the transformation of conventional payments into digital payments, creating promotions in the form of free transfer fees and top-up fees, expanding to marketplace as a digital payment method, and highlighting LinkAja competitive advantage and product value to win market competition.

Epidemiological Characteristics of Risk Factors of Preurolitiasis and Urolitiasis in Farmers’ Population

/in /by

The farmer population was isolated by the absolute selection, in the climatic conditions of the Fergana Valley (2551). Of these, 2478 (men – 1270 and women – 1208) were fully examined. Participation in the study was 96.6 percent. The prevalence of common risk factors in a farmer population using epidemiological, survey, biochemical, and instrumental methods are characterized by high rates and have gender–age characteristics. Risk factors vary sharply with age and increase. Farmers have developed inconsistent epidemiological conditions predisposing them to pre–urolithiasis and urolithiasis, and hence their correction leads to success in primary and secondary prevention.

Knowledge-Based Performance Management Framework for Small Public Health Facility: A Case Study of Clinic T in City B, Indonesia

/in /by

The healthcare service system in Indonesia is divided into two levels, first-level healthcare services, and advanced-level healthcare services. One of the first-level healthcare services is the small public health facility or clinics. The healthcare system in Indonesia requires patients to seek treatment at a first-level health care system first and prohibits seeking treatment at an advanced-level healthcare system unless emergency or necessary. However, research on the performance management system for clinics is still very minimal. This research is intended to design a performance management framework using Clinic T in City B, Indonesia, as a case study. The flow of research methodology in this study is started with problem identification, continued with framework selection analysis. The selected framework in this study is the Knowledge-Based Performance Management System (KBPMS). Performance framework for Clinic T and the performance indicators are presented, along with the linkage between performance variables and one of the simple ways to show the clinic’s performance for easier evaluation. The proposed framework is expected to be suitable for other clinics in Indonesia and can be used as a foundation for other clinics in designing their own performance management framework.
