Maluku is one of the provinces of the eastern part of Indonesia, consisting of 11 regencies. The Maluku branch of Statistics Indonesia reported in 2018 that in 2013–2018 the number of poor people in Maluku's rural areas increased by 1,970. Concurrently, the number of poor people in urban areas decreased by around 6,070 people. This fact showed that development in Maluku Province hadn't been implemented effectively and equally. This study aimed to determine the development priority in Maluku Province using the Analytical Hierarchy Process method. The determination of priorities was based on three aspects in the human development index concept, namely education, health, and economy. Data from Statistics Indonesia on life expectancy, mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, and per capita expenditure were the indicators were used as the indicators in this study. The results showed that there were 10 regencies with a high level of priority, with the exception being Ambon City, which had a low-level priority. Classification of regencies showed that there was a disparity between them. These findings can help to inform future development designs in Maluku Province.

(1) Background: Alcohol is a leading risk factor of premature morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to investigate the patterns of alcohol consumption in the PURE Poland cohort study baseline. (2) Methods: A Polish cohort was enrolled in the baseline study in 2007–2010. The study group consisted of 2021 adult participants of urban and rural areas from the Lower Silesia voivodeship in Poland (747 men and 1274 women). (3) Results: In the overall study population, 67.3% were current drinkers, 10.3% were former drinkers, and 22.4% were abstainers. Current use of alcohol products was more prevalent in men (77.2%), people living in urban areas (73.0%), and people with a higher level of education (78.0%). The percentage of current drinkers decreased with increasing age (from 73.4% in 30- to 44-year-olds to 48.8% in participants aged 64 and more). The majority of participants (89.2%) declared a low level of alcohol intake. The chance of high level of intake of alcohol was four times higher in men than in women (OR 4.17; CI 1.64–10.6). The majority of participants (54.6%) declared most frequent consumption of low-alcohol drinks (beer, wine) and 21% declared most frequent consumption of spirits. Current drinkers had almost 1.5-fold higher odds of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) than never drinkers (OR 1.49, CI 1.03–2.17; OR 1.66, CI 1.27–2.18, respectively). Former drinkers had higher odds for hypertension and CVD than never drinkers (1.73, CI 1.05–2.85; OR 1.76, CI 1.22–2.53, respectively). (4) Conclusions: In our cohort study, we observed several socio-demographic factors differentiating the patterns of alcohol consumption. The preventive programs should focus predominantly on men, people aged <45 years, and those with a higher level of education.

The paper analyses construction and use of a selected indicator of pro-poor growth – the rate of pro-poor growth. It further explains the interpretation of this indicator in absolute and relative terms and indicates how economic growth affects poverty and inequality. The selected indicator is applied to the example of Indonesia and compares pro-poor growth in urban and rural areas of the country, examines regional disparities in terms of pro-poor growth for the period 1996–2019. From the absolute interpretation, pro-poor growth is observed in both urban and rural areas over the whole period. In relative terms, results of pro-poor growth for the first partial period (1996–2000) differ. While there was a relative pro-poor growth in the rural areas, there was a strong pro-poor growth in the cities with a significant decline in inequality observed (incomes of poor people increased while the average income of the whole population dropped). Indonesia achieved trickle-down growth in both rural and urban areas in two remaining periods (2000–2010 and 2010–2019).

Hasil survei potensi yang dilakukan IUCN dan LPSPL Sorong menunjukkan nilai kelimpahan ikan napoleon (Cheilinus undulatus) di Kabupaten Raja Ampat termasuk dalam kategori rendah. Walaupun demikian, nelayan tetap menginginkan ada kuota untuk pemanfaatannya karena merupakan salah satu sumber mata pencaharian utama. Aktivitas pemanfaatan harus disertai dengan upaya pengendalian untuk menjaga kelestarian sumberdaya. Penerapan upaya fishing control dan manajemen kebijakan belum dilakukan secara optimal, sehingga diperlukan penetapan berdasarkan skala prioritas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi kondisi pemanfaatan dan menentukan skala prioritas upaya untuk mengendalikan pemanfaatan ikan napoleon di Kabupaten Raja Ampat. Penentuan skala prioritas dianalisis dengan model Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) dengan melibatkan pakar di bidang konservasi dalam penilaian. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi, kondisi pemanfaatan ikan napoleon di Kabupaten Raja Ampat dilakukan belum sesuai dengan ketentuan regulasi yang telah ditetapkan. Hasil penilaian dengan model AHP menunjukkan bahwa kriteria yang paling penting untuk mengendalikan pemanfaatan ikan napoleon adalah sumberdaya ikan lestari, dan urutan prioritas alternatif adalah sosialisasi kepada nelayan/pengusaha (bobot 0,2935), pengawasan (bobot 0,2715), survei kelimpahan secara berkala (bobot 0,2181) dan penerapan lalu lintas perdagangan melalui bandara (bobot 0,2169).The results of potential survey by IUCN and LPSPL Sorong showed the abundance value of napoleon fish (Cheilinus undulatus) in Raja Ampat Regency was low category. Nonetheless, the fisher quota for its utilization because it is one of the main sources of livelihood. The utilization activities should be followed by control of effort to maintain resource sustainability. Implementation of fishing control and management decisions has not been done optimally, therefore it need to be set based on priority scale. The purpose of this study were to identify conditions of utilization and to determine the priority scale to control utilization of napoleon wrasse fishery in Raja Ampat Regency. Determination of priority scale were analyzed with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model by involving experts in the field of conservation in the assessment. Based on the results of identification, the condition of the utilization of napoleon fish in Raja Ampat Regency was not with the regulation. The results of the assessment with AHP model showed that the most important criteria to control utilization of napoleon wrasse fishery is sustainable fish resources, and alternatives priority order are socialization/awareness program to fishers/live fish buyer (value 0.2935), surveillance (value 0.2715), periodic density surveys (value 0.2181) and implementation of trade air-only (value 0.2169).

Support Vector Machines (SVM) are powerful tools for classification of data. This article describes the functionality of SVM including their design and operation. SVM have been shown to provide high classification accuracies and have good generalization capabilities. SVM can classify linearly separable data as well as nonlinearly separable data through the use of the kernel function. The advantages of using SVM are discussed along with the standard types of kernel functions. Furthermore, the effectiveness of applying SVM to large, spatial datasets derived from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is also described. Future trends and applications are also discussed – the described extracted dataset contains seven independent variables related to urban development plus a class label which denotes the urban areas versus the rural areas. This large dataset, with over a million instances really proves the generalization capabilities of the SVM methods. Also, the spatial property allows experts to analyze the error signal.

Abstract Aim: To assess the knowledge and attitude of South-Indian smokers towards health effects of smoking and their intentions to quit. Study design: A cross sectional questionnaire based survey was conducted among 550 smokers hailing from South India who reported to the out-patient department of the dental hospital. Results: Highest incidence of smoking in men was seen in those who received moderate level of education and those residing in rural areas. In female smokers, the highest incidence was seen in those residing in urban areas (53.8%) with a high level of education (38.4%). We found that males continued their habit mainly to destress while females used it to socialize. Majority of the participants were aware that smoking causes a host of problems in the oral cavity and 68.18% were aware that passive smoking was injurious to the body. Most of the responders admitted to having observed warnings on tobacco products and were willing to quit the habit with help from their dentists. Conclusion: Smokers are at risk for various diseases that include the cardiovascular, respiratory and reproductive systems as well as the oral cavity. This study sheds light on the level of awareness among current tobacco users and the areas of deficiency in patient education which should be addressed by clinicians.
