Ethnopharmacy is the study on herbs or plants that certain ethnic groups practice for treating particular illness. Scientific reporting of beneficial therapeutic plants through this study could promote further development of herbal medicines. We conducted an ethnopharmacy study at several villages of Osing tribe located in Banyuwangi, Indonesia, to identify plants that have the potential to be tested for certain bioactivity, in this case, for COVID-19 therapy. The snowball and purposive sampling methods using qualitative and quantitative research with semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were applied for this study. The parameters used were the Use Value (UV), Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), and Fidelity Level (FL). The plants used in this study were obtained and determined at Balai Konservasi Tumbuhan Kebun Raya Purwodadi, the Indonesian Institute of Science. The results were then followed by the literature study on the plants’ potential for COVID-19 therapy. Plant exploration was obtained by considering the results of UV calculation. Based on UV calculations in ethnopharmacy studies, there are several plants that are considered essential and have more efficacies. They are temulawak, turmeric, suruh, gigen-gigen, mating, anggrek merpati and pace. Three of the eight plants potentially possess immunomodulatory activity that can be used to prevent the infections of SARS-CoV-2. They are the temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza), turmeric (Curcuma domestica) and gigen-gigen (Centella asiatica).

<p>ABSTRACT<br />The overlapping of forest management in Indonesia is one of explaining factor in people to occupy forest land. In Jambi, it was identified three communities which grab forest land in production forest area in which many of this area is concessioned to PT. ABT due to ecosystem restoration since 2015. Three communities living in those area are Talang Mamak, Malay Suo-Suo, and migrant from outside region. From this situation, there is a problem relating to the uncertainty of occupation area by three communities in which it is identified inside forest consession area or outside forest consession area of PT. ABT. The other critical issues is that until recently these three community are still able to encroach illegal land and grab the land. It is then questioned what power that three community have, to support their action in encroaching the land. Therefore, focus of this research is to analyze power of three communities to occupy forest land. Power analysis was performed by identifying bundle of power through the mechanism of access by three communities. This research used a qualitative and quantitative research. Data collection technique used in-depth interview, observation, structural interview, and literature study. The results showed that there are three powers that be the strength of the community that is political power, ideological power, and connections power.<br />Keywords: Power, access, production forest</p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br />Pengelolaan hutan yang tumpang tindih di Indonesia menjadi faktor penyebab bagi masyarakat untuk mengokupasi lahan hutan. Di Jambi, teridentifikasi tiga komunitas mengokupasi lahan hutan di kawasan hutan produksi yang sebagian wilayahnya dikonsesikan kepada PT. Alam Bukit Tigapuluh sejak tahun (ABT) 2015 untuk restorasi ekosistem. Tiga komunitas tersebut antara lain Suku Talang Mamak, Orang Melayu Suo-suo, dan pendatang. Dari situasi ini, ada sebuah persoalan berkaitan dengan ketidakjelasan area okupasi apakah area yang diokupasi oleh tiga komunitas tersebut teridentifikasi ke dalam area hutan konsesi PT. Alam Bukit Tigapuluh atau di luar area hutan konsesi. Isu penting lainnya adalah bahwa sampai saat ini tiga komunitas ini masih mampu melanggar batas tanah ilegal dan mengambil tanah tersebut. Hal ini menimbulkan pertanyaan kekuasaan apayang dimiliki oleh tiga komunitas, untuk mendukung aksi mereka di dalam kawasan okupasi. Oleh karena itu, fokus penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kekuatan tiga komunitas untuk mengokupasi lahan hutan. Analisis kekuasaan dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi bundle of powermelalui mekanisme akses oleh tiga komunitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan wawancara mendalam, observasi, wawancara struktural, dan studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada tiga kekuasaan yang menjadi kekuatan komunitas yaitu kekuasaan politik, kekuasaan ideologi, dan kekuasaan relasi.<br />Kata kunci: Kekuasaan, akses, hutan produksi</p>

Different Cultures

Some in the social sciences argue that the same logic applies to both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This book demonstrates that these two paradigms constitute different cultures, each internally coherent yet marked by contrasting norms, practices, and toolkits. The book identifies and discusses major differences between these two traditions that touch nearly every aspect of social science research, including design, goals, causal effects and models, concepts and measurement, data analysis, and case selection. Although focused on the differences between qualitative and quantitative research, the book also seeks to promote toleration, exchange, and learning by enabling scholars to think beyond their own culture and see an alternative scientific worldview. The book is written in an easily accessible style and features a host of real-world examples to illustrate methodological points.

AbstractComputer and Information Security (CIS) is usually approached adopting a technology-centric viewpoint, where the human components of sociotechnical systems are generally considered as their weakest part, with little consideration for the end users’ cognitive characteristics, needs and motivations. This paper presents a holistic/Human Factors (HF) approach, where the individual, organisational and technological factors are investigated in pilot healthcare organisations to show how HF vulnerabilities may impact on cybersecurity risks. An overview of current challenges in relation to cybersecurity is first provided, followed by the presentation of an integrated top–down and bottom–up methodology using qualitative and quantitative research methods to assess the level of maturity of the pilot organisations with respect to their capability to face and tackle cyber threats and attacks. This approach adopts a user-centred perspective, involving both the organisations’ management and employees, The results show that a better cyber-security culture does not always correspond with more rule compliant behaviour. In addition, conflicts among cybersecurity rules and procedures may trigger human vulnerabilities. In conclusion, the integration of traditional technical solutions with guidelines to enhance CIS systems by leveraging HF in cybersecurity may lead to the adoption of non-technical countermeasures (such as user awareness) for a comprehensive and holistic way to manage cyber security in organisations.

Mixed methods reviews offer an excellent approach to synthesizing qualitative and quantitative evidence to generate more robust implications for practice, research, and policymaking. There are limited guidance and practical examples concerning the methods for adequately synthesizing qualitative and quantitative research findings in mixed reviews. This paper aims to illustrate the application and use of joint displays for qualitative and quantitative synthesis in mixed methods reviews. We used joint displays to synthesize and integrate qualitative and quantitative research findings in a segregated mixed methods review about male nursing students' challenges and experiences. In total, 36 qualitative, six quantitative, and one mixed-methods study was appraised and synthesized in the review. First, the qualitative and quantitative findings were analyzed and synthesized separately. The synthesized findings were integrated through tabular and visual joint displays at two levels of integration. At the first level, a statistics theme display was developed to compare the synthesized qualitative and quantitative findings and the number of studies from which the findings were generated. At the second level, the synthesized qualitative and quantitative findings supported by each other were integrated to identify confirmed, discordant, and expanded inferences using generalizing theme display. The use of two displays allowed in a robust and comprehensive synthesis of studies. Joint displays could serve as an excellent method for rigorous and transparent synthesis of qualitative and quantitative findings and the generation of adequate and relevant inferences in mixed methods reviews.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to enhance the knowledge of the antecedents of political behaviour. Whereas political behaviour in strategic decision-making (SDM) has received sustained interest in the literature, empirical examination of its antecedents has been meagre. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted a constructive replication to examine the impact of three layers of context, namely, decision, firm and environment, on political behaviour. In Study 1, Greece, we gathered data on 143 strategic decisions, while in Study 2, Egypt, we collected data on 169 strategic decisions. Findings – The evidence suggests that both decision-specific and firm factors act as antecedents to political behaviour, while environmental factors do not. Practical implications – The findings support enhanced practitioner education regarding political behaviour and provide practitioners with a place from which to start by identifying the factors which might influence the occurrence of political behaviour in SDM. Originality/value – The paper fills important gaps in the existing research on the influence of context on political behaviour and delineates interesting areas for further research.

This study addresses the problem of balancing the trade-offs between the need for animal production, profit, and the goal of achieving persistence of desirable species within grazing systems. The bioeconomic framework applied in this study takes into account the impact of climate risk and the management of pastures and grazing rules on the botanical composition of the pasture resource, a factor that impacts on livestock production and economic returns over time. The framework establishes the links between inputs, the state of the pasture resource and outputs, to identify optimal pasture development strategies. The analysis is based on the application of a dynamic pasture resource development simulation model within a seasonal stochastic dynamic programming framework. This enables the derivation of optimum decisions within complex grazing enterprises, over both short-term tactical (such as grazing rest) and long-term strategic (such as pasture renovation) time frames and under climatic uncertainty. The simulation model is parameterised using data and systems from the Cicerone Project farmlet experiment. Results indicate that the strategic decision of pasture renovation should only be considered when pastures are in a severely degraded state, whereas the tactical use of grazing rest or low stocking rates should be considered as the most profitable means of maintaining adequate proportions of desirable species within a pasture sward. The optimal stocking rates identified reflected a pattern which may best be described as a seasonal saving and consumption cycle. The optimal tactical and strategic decisions at different pasture states, based on biomass and species composition, varies both between seasons and in response to the imposed soil fertility regime. Implications of these findings at the whole-farm level are discussed in the context of the Cicerone Project farmlets.
