ABSTRAKINOVASI PEMBUATAN PEMPEK BAGI PELAKU USAHA KECIL PEMPEK DI PALEMBANG.  Bertujuan untuk mensosialisasikan dan memberikan bimbingan teknis dan manajemen inovasi pembuatan pempek berupa tepung pempek bagi pelaku usaha pempek di kota Palembang. Pempek dikenal sebagai makanan tradisional kota Palembang yang dibuat dari campuran ikan giling dan tepung tapioca dan disajikan dengan cuko pempek. Keterbatasan SDM yang terampil dalam pembuatan pempek, dan keterbatasan umur simpan pempek, menjadikan pempek terbatas untuk didistribusikan ke daerah yang lebih luas. Pada tahun 2016 (Murtado) berhasil menciptkan tepung pempek sebagai bahan pembuatan pempek yang terbuat dari ikan giling dan tepung tapioka yang diolah menjadi campuran kering homogen.  Dengan tepung pempek, membuat pempek menjadi lebih mudah dan cepat.  Umur simpan tepung pempek mencapai dua tahun sehingga penanganan dan distribusi lebih mudah dan sederhana. Kegiatan berupa pembinaan langsung pembuatan tepung pempek bagi mitra yang ditunjuk dan bersedia mengikuti kegiatan ini.   Kegiatan dilakukan dengan lima tahap, yaitu: 1) seleksi   calon peserta, 2) tatap muka penjelasan sekitar tepung pempek, 3) pembuatan tepung pempek dan 4) pembuatan pempek berbahan tepung pempek. Setelah 7 hari melakukan pembinaan dan pelatihan, dihasilkan peserta yang terampil secara teknis dan minat yang semakin besar terhadap pengembangan usaha pempek berupa tepung pempek.  Kata kunci: Pempek; inovasi; usaha kecil. ABSTRACTPEMPEK-MAKING INNOVATIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESS PLAYERS OF PEMPEK IN PALEMBANG.  Aiming to socialize and provide technical guidance and management of innovation in making pempek in the form of pempek flour for pempek entrepreneurs in Palembang city.  Pempek is known as a traditional Palembang food made from a mixture of ground fish and tapioca flour and served with cuko pempek.  Limited skilled human resources in making pempek, and limited shelf life of pempek, make it limited for pempek to be distributed to a wider area.  In 2016 (Murtado) succeeded in creating pempek flour as an ingredient for making pempek which is made from ground fish and tapioca flour which is processed into a homogeneous dry mixture.  With pempek flour, making pempek becomes easier and faster.  The shelf life of pempek flour is up to two years, making handling and distribution easier and simpler.  Activities in the form of direct guidance for making pempek flour for partners who are appointed and willing to participate in this activity.  The activity was carried out in five stages, namely: 1) selection of prospective participants, 2) face-to-face explanation about pempek flour, 3) making pempek flour and 4) making pempek made from pempek flour.  After 7 days of coaching and training, participants who were technically skilled and had greater interest in developing the pempek business in the form of pempek flour were produced. Keywords: Pempek; innovations; small business.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the Implementation of Substantive Technical Distance Learning for Learning Models at the Denpasar Religious Education and Training Center. Distance learning is open education with a relatively tight structured learning program and a learning pattern that takes place without face-to-face or separation between the training participants. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with the main data collection techniques are observation, interviews and documentation study. The focus of research in this study is the analysis of the implementation of Substantive Technical Distance Learning Models. Implementation of Substantive Technical Distance Learning Models at BDK Denpasar consists of three things including planning, implementation, and evaluation. In planning the things that are done is to formulate good goals from the point of view of the skills or activities that are expected to be achieved after the distance learning finish. In addition, planning has been carried out as well as possible, marked by holding technical guidance on distance learning and a preparatory meeting to equalize perceptions about the page and how to fill in the content. The implementation of distance learning has gone well in accordance with the plan, but the presence of signal problems or stagnant internet did not reduce the enthusiasm and motivation. While the evaluation consists of giving assignments, discussion forums, examinations. So that the three aspects both attitudes, knowledge and skills assessment can be fulfilled.

Ireland has had a reliance on voluntary groups to provide peer-to-peer bereavement support. The aim of this study was to explore volunteers’, within these voluntary groups, experiences of supporting parents following a fatal fetal anomaly diagnosis. Purposive sampling was used to recruit volunteers ( n = 17) and face-to-face interviews undertaken. NVivo12 was utilized to assist in the thematic analysis of the data. Five themes; “motivation for altruistic acts,” “being challenged,” “value of education and training,” “supporting volunteers to support others,” and “it is not a sprint, it is a marathon” were identified. Volunteers felt comfortable in their peer-support role but found the lack of knowledge regarding newly implemented termination of pregnancy (TOP) services challenging. The importance of education/training was identified, emphasizing the need for collaboration with health care professionals and other voluntary organizations for support. The findings illustrate the need for collaborative working between health care professionals and volunteers to assist them in supporting bereaved parents.

The Covid-19 restrictions have limited the access of face-to face therapies for many people and continues to effect how Dramatherapists operate. The following article offers reflections around adapting to an on-line medium, focusing more specifically around the software of ProReal. Limitations and considerations are acknowledged, including technological difficulties, computer efficacy, ambiguity tolerance and the need for careful contracting and reassurance of autonomy and control when using on-line platforms. The article ends with a short selection of vignettes from ProReal sessions.

Current education and training in psychological interventions is mostly based on different ‘schools’ (traditions such as cognitive–behavioural or psychodynamic therapy), and strong identification with these specific traditions continuously hinders a scientifically based development of psychotherapy. This review is selective rather than systematic and comprehensive. In addition to the consideration of other influential publications, we relied on a literature search in Web of Science using the following terms (update: 24 December 2020): (psychotherapy AND meta-analy* AND competence*). After summarising current problems, a pathway for solving these problems is presented. First, we have to recategorise psychological interventions according to the mechanisms and subgoals that are addressed. The interventions can be classified according to the foci: (1) skills acquisition (eg, communication, emotion regulation, mentalisation); (2) working with relationship patterns and using the therapeutic relationship to modify them; and (3) clarification of motives and goals. Afterwards, the training of psychotherapists can switch from focusing on one theoretical framework to learning the different competences for modification according to these new categories. The selection of topics to be addressed should follow best evidence-based mechanisms and processes of mental disorders and interventions. Psychology offers knowledge about these mechanisms that can be understood as a basic science for psychological treatments in general. This requires better connection with basic science, new research efforts that focus on treatment subgoals, theory-overarching optimisation of the selection and personalisation of treatments, and new types of training for psychotherapists that are designed to optimise therapists’ competences accordingly, instead of limiting training programmes to one single theoretical framework.

With the exponential growth of high-quality fake images in social networks and media, it is necessary to develop recognition algorithms for this type of content. One of the most common types of image and video editing consists of duplicating areas of the image, known as the copy-move technique. Traditional image processing approaches manually look for patterns related to the duplicated content, limiting their use in mass data classification. In contrast, approaches based on deep learning have shown better performance and promising results, but they present generalization problems with a high dependence on training data and the need for appropriate selection of hyperparameters. To overcome this, we propose two approaches that use deep learning, a model by a custom architecture and a model by transfer learning. In each case, the impact of the depth of the network is analyzed in terms of precision (P), recall (R) and F1 score. Additionally, the problem of generalization is addressed with images from eight different open access datasets. Finally, the models are compared in terms of evaluation metrics, and training and inference times. The model by transfer learning of VGG-16 achieves metrics about 10% higher than the model by a custom architecture, however, it requires approximately twice as much inference time as the latter.

In early 2020, Jain diaspora communities and organizations that had been painstakingly built over the past decades were faced with the far-reaching consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and its concomitant restrictions. With the possibility of regular face-to-face contact and participation in recurring events—praying, eating, learning, and meditating together—severely limited in most places, organizations were compelled to make a choice. They either had to suspend their activities, leaving members to organize their religious activities on an individual or household basis, or pursue the continuation of some of their habitual activities in an online format, relying on their members’ motivation and technical skills. This study will explore how many Jain organizations in London took to digital media in its different forms to continue to engage with their members throughout 2020. Looking at a selection of websites and social media channels, it will examine online discourses that reveal the social and mental impact of the pandemic on Jains and the broader community, explore the relocation of activities to the digital realm, and assess participation in these activities. In doing so, this article will open a discussion on the long-term effects of this crisis-induced digital turn in Jain religious praxis, and in socio-cultural life in general.

Objective: The aims of this study were to explore the knowledge, attitudes, confidence and practices of Australian psychiatrists and psychiatry registrars with regard to smoking cessation with their patients and to promote clinical practice reflection and re-framing. Methods: A mixed-methods questionnaire was developed. Interviews were conducted via telephone or face-to-face utilising participatory action research principles. Qualitative data were de-identified and analysed following a reflexive thematic approach. Results: The questionnaire was completed with 15 participants. The majority worked in the public health sector and agreed that smoking cessation could be used as a clinical tool across mental health services. However, nearly all of the participants reported being unfamiliar with the latest literature. Only one-third of participants reported having had received formal training in smoking cessation. Overwhelmingly, more training was reported as necessary and welcomed by participants. Conclusion: Our study has identified gaps in psychiatrists’ and psychiatry registrars’ knowledge and confidence regarding the promotion, initiation and oversight of smoking cessation strategies for patients. It’s important that psychiatrists lead the way in re-framing and engaging with this issue, and consider smoking cessation as a tool that can improve mental health outcomes. A review of existing Australian policies, guidelines and training is recommended.
