AbstractThe flood disaster that struck the Province of South Sulawesi (South Sulawesi) at the end of January 2019, was the worst natural disaster in the past 20 (twenty) years. Of the 24 (twenty four) districts and cities in South Sulawesi, there are 6 (six) districts and cities experiencing very poor conditions, namely the Regencies of Jeneponto, Maros, Gowa, Takalar, Barru and Makassar. As a result of this disaster, tens of thousands of families lost their homes, property was destroyed, social facilities such as schools and houses of worship were also severely damaged and some were destroyed. Even more pathetic, because more than a hundred people died. This results from an imbalance of ecosystems causing serious problems. Community understanding of the need to maintain ecosystem balance is still very low coupled with the socioeconomic situation which makes the community more pragmatic. The problem is, how do you increase the awareness of the community in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem? And how to foster disaster-conscious attitudes and behavior for the community, especially in disaster-prone areas? Therefore, the writing of this article aims to comprehensively examine people's attitudes related to maintaining ecosystem balance and fostering disaster-conscious behavior in the community, especially in disaster-prone areas as an alternative to disaster risk management. The method used is qualitative with the type of case study studies. The selection of informants is done purposively and the data processed are primary and secondary. From the results of this study it was found, the increasingly severe environmental damage became the main trigger of natural disasters that occurred in South Sulawesi at the end of January 2019. This environmental damage, is dominant because of the very exploitative behavior of the community towards the environment. For example, what happened in Gowa district, the big floods that occurred because around the Jeneberang River and Bili-Bili Dam areas - sand mining activities have been going on for decades. Likewise, the Mount Bawakaraeng area, which used to function as a buffer against flooding, has long been deforested as a result of causing landslides whenever there is heavy rain. This condition also occurs in the districts of Jeneponto, Maros and others - these areas are vulnerable to heavy rainfall. To overcome this serious problem, one alternative is to form community groups that are aware of disasters. This strategy of forming disaster awareness groups, by combining approaches from above (government) and from below (the community)   Musibah banjir yang melanda Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan (Sulsel) di akhir Januari 2019, merupakan bencana alam yang terparah selama kurun waktu 20 (dua puluh) tahun terakhir ini. Dari 24 (dua puluh empat) kabupaten dan kota di Sulsel, ada 6 (enam) kabupaten dan kota mengalami kondisi sangat memprihatinkan yaitu Kabupaten Jeneponto, Maros, Gowa, Takalar, Barru dan Makassar. Akibat dari bencana ini, puluhan ribu keluarga kehilangan tempat tinggal, harta benda musnah, fasilitas sosial seperti sekolah dan rumah ibadah juga rusak berat dan ada yang hancur. Lebih mengenaskan, karena menimbulkan korban jiwa meninggal dunia lebih dari seratus orang. Hal ini akibat dari ketidakseimbangan ekosistem menyebabkan masalah yang serius. Pemahaman masyarakat tentang perlunya menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem, masih sangat rendah ditambah lagi dengan situasi sosial ekonomi yang membuat masyarakat makin pragmatis. Masalahnya, bagaimana cara meningkatkan kepedulian warga masyarakat dalam menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem? Dan bagaimana menumbuhkan sikap dan perilaku sadar bencana bagi masyarakat khususnya di kawasan yang rawan bencana? Karena itu, penulisan artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara komprehensif sikap masyarakat terkait dengan kepedulian menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem dan menumbuhkan perilaku sadar bencana di masyarakat khususnya di daerah-daerah yang rawan bencana sebagai alternatif manajemen risiko bencana. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan jenis kajian studi kasus. Pemilihan informan dilakukan secara purposif dan data yang diolah adalah primer dan sekunder. Dari hasil penelitian ini ditemukan , makin parahnya kerusakan lingkungan menjadi pemicu utama dari bencana alam yang terjadi di Sulsel akhir Januari 2019.. Kerusakan lingkungan ini, dominan karena perilaku masyarakat yang sangat eksploitatif terhadap lingkungan. Misalnya saja yang terjadi di kabupaten Gowa, banjir besar yang terjadi karena di sekitar kawasan Sungai Jeneberang dan Dam Bili-Bili – kegiatan penambangan pasir sudah berlangsung puluhan tahun lamanya. Begitu juga kawasan Gunung Bawakaraeng yang tadinya berfungsi sebagai penyangga banjir, karena sudah lama digunduli akibatnya menimbulkan longsor setiap ada hujan deras. Kondisi ini juga terjadi di Kabupaten Jeneponto, Maros dan lainnya – daerah-daerah ini rentan terhadap curah hujan yang besar. Untuk mengatasi masalah serius ini, maka salah satu alternatifnya dengan membentuk kelompok-kelompok masyarakat yang sadar bencana. Strategi pembentukan kelompok sadar bencana ini, dengan memadukan pendekatan dari atas (pemerintah) dan dari bawah (masyarakat)

Theoretically, the stories in the Qur'an have the advantage to give more impression to human beings so that they can shape attitudes and behavior. Especially for young people, the method of storytelling is easier for them to accept the lessons. This is supported by preliminary findings that when the verses of the Qur'an are gathered which contain the word “youth” in them, then all of the verses contain stories, so this research has a hypothesis that the stories of the Qur'an ( qashash al- Quran ) has an influence in the building of prophetic characters for the younger generation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out whether there is an influence of the study of the Qur'anic qashash on the prophetic characters building in young generation. This research uses quantitative methods with the type of pre-experimental research using the one group pre-test post-test design. The selection of subjects in this study uses non-random sampling techniques with a purposive sampling method. The subjects of this study were twelve people with poor and good prophetic character categories. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Usuluddin Adab and Da'wah IAIN Langsa for six meetings. The instrument used is a Likert model of Prophetic Character Scale. While data analysis uses non-parametric statistical techniques using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test with the help of SPSS version 17.00. The results showed that in general the study of qashash Al-Qur'an was relatively effective in shaping the prophetic character of students. While specifically this study obtained conclusions; there are differences in the average score of prophetic characters before and after the treatment is given in the form of a study of Qashash Al-Qur`an. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the study of Qashash Al-Qur`an on the prophetic characters building in students.

Background/Aim. Health education plays a very important role in maintaining health of individuals. Good oral health, as a part of general health, is largely dependent on the level of knowledge, attitudes and habits that children already have. The aim of this study is to examine the level of knowledge and habits in children regarding oral hygiene, diet and bad habits. Methods. The study included 506 school children aged 12 and 15 years in three towns (Foca, Cajnice, Kalinovik, Bosnia and Herzegovina). The survey was conducted in order to assess knowledge, attitudes and habits that children have in relation to their own oral health. Results. Most respondents stated that they began to brush their teeth at the age of 4, while a smaller number linked beginning of tooth brushing to the start of school. The parents more often help the boys during tooth brushing. A total of 54.9% of children brush their teeth after every meal, while 40.1% of them brush teeth only once during the day. Twelve year olds brush their teeth more often, especially after a meal. A total of 92.5% of children had never used fluoride tablets nor are the tablets recommended to them by anyone. More than half of the children (61.7%) visited the dentist for the first time before starting school that is on the regular examination that is performed upon enrollment to school. A pain as a reason for dental visits was present in 43.9%, while the preventive check in only 31.4% of the children. Conclusion. Children included in this study, particularly 15-year-olds, are quite well informed about teeth brushing frequency and proper selection of tools for hygiene maintenance, but this knowledge is not applied. Girls are more responsible for their own health, and come regularly to the preventive dental checkups.

Across cultures and generations, people have tattooed their bodies. Although blood-borne infections from tattooing have been reduced, certain service aspects remain improperly managed. We assessed the infection risks associated with tattooing by conducting a cross-sectional study (2013–2014) in Poland using an anonymous questionnaire survey. Scoring procedures for blood-borne infection risks for tattooists and their clients were used. Overall, 255 tattooists were interviewed. A quasi-random selection of tattoo parlors was based on a service register. Knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding blood-borne infection risks were assessed using a questionnaire. Simultaneously, tattoo centers were audited. Tattooing had a higher infection risk for tattooists than for clients. Approximately 50% of respondents underwent training on postexposure procedures, which constituted almost one in five of the reported needlestick/cut injuries sustained while working. Furthermore, 25.8% had no knowledge regarding risk from reliable sources, and 2.1% had not broadened their knowledge. Tattooists and their clients are at a risk of infection, and knowledge concerning infection risks remains an underestimated preventative factor. Service quality surveillance and creation of a register for tattoo-related complications may help assess the scale of this public health issue. However, a lack of these records implies the challenges in developing effective organizational and legal protections.

Concerns about video-based political persuasion are prevalent in both popular and academic circles, predicated on the assumption that video is more compelling than text. To date, however, this assumption remains largely untested in the political domain. Here, we provide such a test. We begin by drawing a theoretical distinction between two dimensions for which video might be more efficacious than text: 1) one’s belief that a depicted event actually occurred and 2) the extent to which one’s attitudes and behavior are changed. We test this model across two high-powered survey experiments varying exposure to politically persuasive messaging (total n = 7,609 Americans; 26,584 observations). Respondents were shown a selection of persuasive messages drawn from a diverse sample of 72 clips. For each message, they were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a short video, a detailed transcript of the video, or a control condition. Overall, we find that individuals are more likely to believe an event occurred when it is presented in video versus textual form, but the impact on attitudes and behavioral intentions is much smaller. Importantly, for both dimensions, these effects are highly stable across messages and respondent subgroups. Moreover, when it comes to attitudes and engagement, the difference between the video and text conditions is comparable to, if not smaller than, the difference between the text and control conditions. Taken together, these results call into question widely held assumptions about the unique persuasive power of political video over text.

This research applies the binding communication model to the sustainable communication strategies implemented in most hotels. The binding communication model links a persuasive message with the implementation of a low-cost commitment to strengthen the link between the attitudes and behavior of those receiving the message. We compared the effectiveness of a classical communication strategy (n = 86) with that of a binding communication strategy (n = 101) to encourage guests to choose sustainable behavior. Our results show that using the binding communication strategy generates significantly more sustainable behavior in guests than using the classical communication strategy. We discuss our results and suggest future avenues of research.

Abstract. The core aim of the present study is to compare the effects of a safety campaign and a behavior modification program on traffic safety. As is the case in community-based health promotion, the present study's approach of the attitude campaign was based on active participation of the group of recipients. One of the reasons why many attitude campaigns conducted previously have failed may be that they have been society-based public health programs. Both the interventions were carried out simultaneously among students aged 18-19 years in two Norwegian high schools (n = 342). At the first high school the intervention was behavior modification, at the second school a community-based attitude campaign was carried out. Baseline and posttest data on attitudes toward traffic safety and self-reported risk behavior were collected. The results showed that there was a significant total effect of the interventions although the effect depended on the type of intervention. There were significant differences in attitude and behavior only in the sample where the attitude campaign was carried out and no significant changes were found in the group of recipients of behavior modification.

Abstract. Most employees participate in workplace meetings, and their experiences in meetings can vary greatly, which can lead to positive or negative effects on both job attitudes and behavior. In this study, we examined the effect that a meeting attendee’s competence in the meeting topic had on their participation in the meeting and their perception of meeting effectiveness. Results indicated those with higher levels of competence in the meeting topic were more likely to participate and through participation found their meeting more effective; this relationship was stronger when employee dissent in the meetings was high. Leaders should ensure that those who are present in a meeting are competent in the topic of the meeting and encourage them to participate.
