<strong>English</strong><br />The government commits to achieve food sovereignty and self-sufficiency, especially those of rice, corn, and soybean (Pajale) in 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively. One of the problems is low speed of technological innovation adoption at farm level because of extension workers and farmer group’s communication is not dynamic. This study aims to analyze factors influencing technological innovation adoption of the Rice, Corn and Soybean Special Effort (Upsus Pajale) activities and roles of farmer group communication on technology adoption in Upsus Pajale activities. The research was conducted in Malang Regency, East Java Province. Primary data were collected using questionnaires from 90 respondents. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants and direct observation. Primary data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a logistic regression model. The results showed that factors influencing technological innovation adoption in Upsus Pajale activities in Malang Regency were farmers’age, nonformal education, land holding size, mass media, farmers’ assistants, and the farmer group communication. Factors influencing the roles of farmer group communication were farmers’age, the size of controlled arable land, cosmopolity level, non-formal education, mass media, and farmers’ companion.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Pemerintah saat ini telah berkomitmen untuk mewujudkan kedaulatan pangan serta swasembada pangan, terutama komoditas padi, jagung, dan kedelai (Pajale) yang ditargetkan terwujud berturut-turut pada tahun 2017, 2018, dan 2019. Salah satu permasalahannya adalah kecepatan adopsi inovasi teknologi di tingkat petani masih rendah karena peran komunikasi penyuluh dan kelompok tani masih belum dinamis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap adopsi inovasi teknologi pada kegiatan upaya khusus (Upsus) Pajale dan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap peran komunikasi kelompok tani terhadap adopsi inovasi teknologi dalam kegiatan Upsus Pajale. Lokasi penelitian dipilih secara sengaja di Kabupaten Malang, Provinsi Jawa Timur. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara menggunakan kuesioner dengan responden sebanyak 90 orang dan didukung oleh data kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap beberapa informan kunci dan observasi langsung. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensia regresi model logistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi adopsi inovasi teknologi pada kegiatan Upsus Pajale di Kabupaten Malang adalah umur petani, pendidikan nonformal, luas lahan yang dikuasai, peran media informasi, peran pendamping, dan peran komunikasi kelompok tani. Faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi peran komunikasi kelompok tani adalah umur petani, luas lahan yang dikuasai, tingkat kekosmopolitan, pendidikan nonformal, peran media informasi, dan peran pendamping petani.

AbstractObjectiveTo systematically review the design, implementation and effectiveness of mass media and nutrition education interventions for improving infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices and related psychosocial factors.DesignA search of PubMed, Embase and PsycINFO databases, a Google search, and a consultation with experts in the field of IYCF performed in July 2016.SettingLow- and middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank Group.SubjectsEligible studies: included a mass media component (with or without nutrition education); conducted a pre–post evaluation (with or without a control group); assessed IYCF knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and/or practices; and were published in English between 2000 and present.ResultsEighteen unique studies were identified that examined the effect of mass media (types included: television; print; voice and/or SMS (text) messages; radio; megaphones/loudspeakers; videos; social media; songs/dramas) and nutrition education interventions on IYCF practices within thirteen countries. Of these, fifteen studies reported improvements in breast- and/or complementary feeding practices, using indicators recommended by the WHO, and six studies reported improvements in related psychosocial factors. However, little detail was provided on the use of formative research, a formal behaviour change theory and behaviour change techniques. Few studies reported both dose delivered and participants’ exposure to the intervention.ConclusionsDespite evidence of effectiveness, few common elements in the design of interventions were identified. Future research should consistently report these details to open the ‘black box’ of IYCF interventions, identify effective design components and ensure replicability.

AbstractCybercrime in Nigeria is largely perpetrated by young people and students in tertiary institutions, and are socially tagged yahoo yahoo or yahoo boys. Yahoo boys rely on their computer dexterity to victimise unsuspecting persons in cyberspace. A new phenomenon in cybercrime is mixing spiritual elements with internet surfing to boost cybercrime success rates. This paper examines the factors underlying this spiritual dimension (cyber spiritualism) to cybercrime, and discusses some of the strategies employed in perpetuating cyber crime. Using Space Transition Theory of cybercrime, data were generated on yahoo boys and those involved in yahoo plus. The clampdown on Internet fraudsters by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in-group conflict among yahoo boys over social recognition, reduced victimisation and delayed success, and mass media enlightenment were reported factors influencing the fusion of spiritual elements in cyber crime. The methods used include ase or mayehun (incontrovertible order), charmed or magical rings (oruka-ere) and incisions made around the wrist, which are used to surf the net, while ijapa (tortoise) is used to navigate profitable sites. Unsuspecting victims fall under the spell of the ase via phone conversation where spiritual orders are made to the victims without their objecting.
