An Evaluation of Factors Affecting
Visual Fine Artists in the wake of COVID-19 towards
Economic Empowerment in Kisumu City

Cash income in hand is a necessary condition for overall empowerment of women. For this purpose, women need to be involved in marketing. There are several projects implemented for the economic empowerment of women. However, the interrelatedness of involving women in marketing for overall empowerment of women has not been studied for policy purposes. Hence, this study has attempted to address this research gap. The objective of this study was to analyse the importance of involving women in marketing for their overall empowerment. In order to analyse the factors affecting decision making of the producers' group, a regression model was used. The findings of this study have clearly shown a linkage that when more women become the members of the producers group, then there is increased participation of women in the decision making process of the producers groups. When women are able to influence the decisions of the group, then they take-up market oriented production and start participating in the marketing activity. The study has concluded that women's involvement in marketing can be increased by increasing women's participation in producers' groups and promoting market oriented production.

World Bank Survey shows that 42,8% of formal SMEs are owned by women and 43% of formal SMEs in Indonesia also belong to women with a contribution of 9,1% to Indonesia’s GDP in 2013. Looking at the facts, the improvement of women’s economic empowerment becomes important in order to strengthen women’s bargaining position in the public sector. Although the program is aimed for women, in practice required the participation of men in supporting women’s economic empowerment in order to run balanced development. The purposes of this research are: (1) to identify factors affecting the level of men’s participation in supporting the economic activities of women, (2) to analyze the level of men’s participation, (3) to analyze the correlation between factors affecting the level of men’s participation with the level of men’s participation, (4) to analyze the economic empowerment level of women, (5) to analyze the correlation between the level of men’s participation with the economic empowerment level of women. The method used in this research is a survey method using a questionnaire to 35 respondents who are husbands of women Kharisma cooperative members who have a business. The results from this research shows: (1) the factors that affecting men’s participation are type of work, the income level, the education level, and the age of marriage, (2) the level of men’s participation at medium level (tokenism), (3) there isn’t significant correlation between factors that affecting level of participation with the level of men’s participation, (4) the level of women’s economic empowerment at the high level and, (5) there is a significant correlation between the level of men’s participation with the level of women’s economic empowerment.Keywords: Gender, participation, women’s empowerment ABSTRAK Survei yang dilakukan oleh Bank Dunia menunjukan sebanyak 42,8% UKM formal dimiliki oleh perempuan dan sebanyak 43% UKM formal di Indonesia juga milik perempuan dengan kontribusi sebesar 9,1% terhadap PDB Indonesia pada tahun 2013.

Objective - This researchcarries three objectives. First, it aims to analyse the variables that affect readiness in facing the AEC. Second, it aims to analyse aspects that can affect the preparation of the empowerment model based on the economic potentials of the Wonogiri community for export opportunities. Finally, it aims to see how the proposed model can be implemented as an empowerment model. Methodology/Technique - The analytical tools used in this research include a descriptive statistical analysis and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine aspects affecting the preparation of the empowerment model. In the Qualitative analysis of the implementation of the empowerment model, data will be drawn from focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Findings - Results show that factors affecting the success of empowerment on communities include education age, capital, business types, and entrepreneurial experiences. Priority variables noted in the preparation of the empowerment model include three aspects: internal aspects of business players and community, institutional aspects, and external aspects. Results also indicate that the model is applicable for the empowerment efforts of business players and community in the Wonogiri regency in facing the AEC. Novelty - Community empowerment model for the AEC has not been specifically conducted in Wonogiri. Thus, in drawing up a strategic plan for the years 2016-2020 as contained in RPJMD Wonogiri, the government has only planned for the empowerment programs in general. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Economic Empowerment Model, Analytical Hierarchy Process, Wonogiri Regency, Indonesia.

Practical Research

The southern coast of East Java was a country with mountain’s contour. While the Southern cross area built up a sizable economic potential, its use would depend greatly on society, local governments, and other stakeholders in their ability to take advantage of that opportunity. This research explored the local potencies in a southbond crossing area of the province of East Java which could be developed in order to boost economic value for community, and explored contributing factors (Strength and opportunity) and barricade factors (Weakness and Obstacle) in entrepreneurial development of society. Moreover, this practical research contribution was strategic activity programs which were able to be executed to improve and develop the level of economic society in this area, effectiveness of its growth and factors affecting its development , and development needs. The economic potencies which could be developed in this area were tourism sector, especially ancient tourism. furthermore, if we considered livehood pattern, the dominant sector was agriculture. The potency of industry sector which was able to developed was small and medium micro-businesses such as culinary based on local potency and home-made industry. The Private economic pontential was home-made and cooperative industries. Another economic potential supporting the development of local economic on this research area is village corporations and women cooperative.

Comprehensive Study

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.

Strength And Stiffness

Processing polymers from the liquid crystalline state offers several advantages compared to processing from conventional fluids. These include: better axial strength and stiffness in fibers, better planar orientation in films, lower viscosity during processing, low solidification shrinkage of injection moldings (thermotropic processing), and low thermal expansion coefficients. However, the compressive strength of the solid is disappointing. Previous efforts to improve this property have focussed on synthesizing stiffer molecules. The effect of microstructural scale has been overlooked, even though its relevance to the mechanical and physical properties of more traditional materials is well established. By analogy with the behavior of metals and ceramics, one would expect a fine microstructure (i..e. a high density of orientational defects) to be desirable.Also, because much microstructural detail in liquid crystalline polymers occurs on a scale close to the wavelength of light, light is scattered on passing through these materials.
