ABSTRACT  Culturally, the relationship between the people and wild animals in Papua is close-knitted and inseparable. In response to this, through the Manokwari Menyapa program of RRI Manokwari, we share information about the current relationship between people and wildlife during the Covid-19 pandemic. This community service activity is carried out through radio broadcasts, which is an interactive program between listeners and informants on Monday, July 20, 2020. Listeners’ responses vary widely including the impact of consuming animal meat, keeping animals as pet animals, and the consequences of forest loss to the intense exposure of animals to the people. Another thing that was revealed was the extent of the role of academics in efforts to reduce the current spread of the Covid-19 virus. This activity shows that the dissemination of information through electronic media (radio) related to the issue of the Covid-19 epidemic is very good and effective. The media’s wide reach for people who can follow the radio broadcasts of RRI Pro2FM Manokwari benefits this program so much. This activity provides input to us regarding the public’s understanding of the Covid-19 pandemic and the proper follow-up actions that should be considered by the authorities to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus in the community. Intense dissemination of information about the Covid-19 virus now needs to be done as an effort to raise awareness for ordinary people who do not understand well the dangers of this virus for human health.  Keywords: Covid-19; RRI listeners; Manokwari Menyapa    ABSTRAK  Secara kultural, hubungan manusia-satwa liar (hewan) di Papua sangat erat dan tidak dapat dipisahkan. Menyikapi hal tersebut, melalui program Manokwari Menyapa RRI Manokwari, kami berbagi informasi tentang hubungan antara manusia dan hidupan liar di masa pandemik Covid-19. Kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini dilakukan melalui siaran radio yang merupakan program interaksi antara pendengar dengan nara sumber pada hari Senin, 20 Juli 2020. Respon pendengar sangat bervariasi termasuk dampak mengkonsumsi daging satwa, memelihara satwa sebagai hewan kesenangan, serta akibat kehilangan hutan terhadap ekspose satwa yang sangat intens dengan manusia. Hal lain yang terungkap adalah sejauh mana peran akademisi dalam upaya mengurangi penyebaran virus Covid-19 saat ini.  Kegiatan ini menunjukan bahwa penyebaran informasi melalui media elektronik (radio) berkaitan dengan isu pendemi Covid-19 ini, sangat baik dan efektif karena jangkauannya yang luas bagi masyarakat yang bisa mengikuti siaran radio RRI Pro2FM Manokwari.  Kegiatan ini memberikan masukan kepada kita bagaimana pemahaman masyarakat terhadap pandemik Covid-19, dan tindak lanjut yang perlu dilakukan oleh pihak-pihak berwenang untuk mengurangi penyebaran virus Covid-19 di masyarakat terutama yang berhubungan dengan hidupan liar. Penyebaran informasi tentang virus Covid-19 secara intens saat ini perlu dilakukan sebagai upaya penyadartahuan bagi masyarakat awam yang belum memahami dengan baik bahayanya virus ini bagi kesehatan manusia.  Kata kunci: Covid-19; Pemirsa RRI; Manokwari Menyapa

The Impact

Abstract The collaboration between theatre directors and funding agencies can impede and/or promote the aesthetics and functionality of theatre performances, thus (dis)empowering the ordinary people. The paper, focusing on two performances, The Boomerang and Pamela’s Journal sponsored by the Fobang-Mundi Foundation and The Society for Women and AIDS in Africa-Cameroon (SWAA-C), explores the role of institutions and organisations that fund theatre projects in Africa to highlight the impact of patronage, specifically in contexts where the patron-artist relation is evoked. Questioning whether such projects could actually confer “power to the people,” depend on the negotiation skills and professionality of the theatre facilitator; the paper focuses on the beneficiaries of commissioned performances.

Abstrak: Perairan Teluk Youtefa telah mengalami pencemaran limbah cair maupun limbah padat. Salah satu limbah padat yang mengganggu estetika perairan dan fungsi ekologis adalah sampah berbahan plastik. Pencemaran oleh sampah plastik ini harus dikendalikan agar tidak menjadi toksik di perairan Teluk Youtefa. Penanggulangan pencemaran, harus dimulai oleh penduduk yang mendiami kawasan pesisir laut Teluk ini. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah meningkatkan kesadaran  kepada masyarakat dan membentuk kelompok yang aktif memonitoring laut. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat dibagi menjadi tiga tahapan yaitu tahapan Sosialisasi, Fokus Grup Diskusi (FGD) dan Tindak Lanjut (bersih pantai). Hasil kegiatan pengabdian ini berhasil membentuk dan menetapkan kelompok jaga laut, dan ditetapkan menjadi program kerja tahunan Kampung (desa) Enggros yang berfungsi monitoring perairan Teluk Youtefa. Selain itu masyarakat sangat puas dengan kegiatan pengabdian ini dan menginginkan kegiatan serupa dilakukan untuk lebih meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat yang hidup di wilayah pesisir perairan Teluk Youtefa.Abstract: Youtefa Bay waters have been polluted by liquid waste and solid waste. One solid waste that interferes with aesthetics and ecological functions is plastic waste. This pollution by plastic waste must be controlled so that it does not become toxic in the waters of Youtefa Bay. Therefore, tackling pollution must be started by the people who live in this coastal area of the Gulf. This service activity aims to increase awareness in the community and form an active group in monitoring the sea. Community Service Activities are divided into three stages: socialization, focus group discussion (FGD), and follow-up (clean beaches). The results of this service activity succeeded in forming and establishing a marine guard group. It was determined to be the annual work program of the Enggros Village, which functions to monitor the waters of Youtefa Bay. Also, the community is delighted with this service activity and wants similar activities to be carried out to increase the awareness of people who live in the coastal areas of Youtefa Bay waters.

ABSTRACT The success of a program in the utilization of zakat often measured quantitatively by economic perspective only, such as the rising of mustahik incomes and the number of beneficiaries in the utilization of zakat. But, on the other hand, there are qualitative aspects in terms of social relations that rarely portraited by economics itself. The economic aspect basically has three core activities: production, distribution, and consumption; while the role of sociology is seeing how the relation between the people who did those three events, which includes values, norms, and cultural aspect that determines economic motive by its cultural that had the impact on social welfare. This paper will explain that in looking at the utilization of zakat, it’s necessary to seeing the economic sociology perspective in order to see more comprehensive about social relations that contained in the process of administrative program activities in the utilization of zakat that given for mustahik such as Fakir, Miskin, Amil, Riqab, Gharimin, Mualaf, Ibnu Sabil and Fi Sabilillah. Using the classic theory of Weber about Value, the flow of Institutional by Veblen and the concept of Cultural Capital by Bourdieu, this paper will clarify the relationship between the values contained in the utilization of zakat which associated with the stakeholders.

AbstrakKota Tanjungpinang merupakan ibukota Provinsi Kepulauan Riau yang juga termasuk daerah pesisir. Sebagai Kota yang sedang berkembang, maka kepadatan penduduk di Kota Tanjungpinang terus meningkat secara signifikan. Dampak akibat padatnya jumlah penduduk yaitu alih fungsi lahan sebagai lahan permukiman, industri, sarana dan prasarana serta kegiatan lainnya. Salah satu alih fungsi lahan yang terjadi yaitu alih fungsi kawasan mangrove yang menyebabkan rusaknya ekosistem di daerah pesisir dan lautnya. Kurangnya pengetahuan dan kesadaran akan dampak rusaknya ekosistem mangrove di daerah pesisir serta kurangnya pemahaman terhadap upaya pelestarian ekosistem mangrove menyebabkan permasalahan tersebut terus terjadi. Pengabdian masyarakat yang diadakan oleh tim Pengabdian Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji (UMRAH) ditujukan kepada masyarakat Kota Tanjungpinang dengan metode pendidikan/edukasi kepada masyarakat Tanjungpinang untuk memberikan pengetahuan tentang peran pentingekosistem mangrove bagi daerah pesisir, meningkatkan kesadaran dan kepedulianmasyarakat dalam melestarikan daerah pesisir serta mendorong masyarakat untuk ikut melakukan konservasi mangrove. Kegiatan pengabdian berjalan dengan baik. Hal ini terlihat dari keinginan masyarakat untuk ikut menandatangani janji pelestarian lingkungan.Kata Kunci: edukasi masyarakat, pelestarian, daerah pesisirAbstractTanjungpinang City is the capital of Riau Islands Province which is also a coastal area. As a developing city, the population density in Tanjungpinang City continues to increase significantly. The impact due to dense population is the conversion of land as residential land, industry, facilities and infrastructure as well as other activities. One of the functions of land conversion is the conversion of mangrove areas which causes damage to the ecosystem in the coastal and marine areas. Lack of knowledge and awareness of the impact of damage to mangrove ecosystems in coastal areas and a lack of understanding of efforts to conserve mangrove ecosystems causes these problems to continue to occur. Community service provided by the Raja Ali Haji Maritime University (UMRAH) community service team is aimed at the people of the city of Tanjungpinang with education methods to the Tanjungpinang community to provide knowledge about the important role of mangrove ecosystems in coastal areas, increase public awareness and concern in preserving coastal areas and encourage the community to participate in mangrove conservation. Community service activities went well. This can be seen from the desire of the community to join in signing environmental pledges.Key Word: community education, preservation, coastal area

The Impact

Background: Ethical issues have been raised about using the psychological autopsy approach in the study of suicide. The impact on informants of control cases who participated in case-control psychological autopsy studies has not been investigated. Aims: (1) To investigate whether informants of suicide cases recruited by two approaches (coroners’ court and public mortuaries) respond differently to the initial contact by the research team. (2) To explore the reactions, reasons for participation, and comments of both the informants of suicide and control cases to psychological autopsy interviews. (3) To investigate the impact of the interviews on informants of suicide cases about a month after the interviews. Methods: A self-report questionnaire was used for the informants of both suicide and control cases. Telephone follow-up interviews were conducted with the informants of suicide cases. Results: The majority of the informants of suicide cases, regardless of the initial route of contact, as well as the control cases were positive about being approached to take part in the study. A minority of informants of suicide and control cases found the experience of talking about their family member to be more upsetting than expected. The telephone follow-up interviews showed that none of the informants of suicide cases reported being distressed by the psychological autopsy interviews. Limitations: The acceptance rate for our original psychological autopsy study was modest. Conclusions: The findings of this study are useful for future participants and researchers in measuring the potential benefits and risks of participating in similar sensitive research. Psychological autopsy interviews may be utilized as an active engagement approach to reach out to the people bereaved by suicide, especially in places where the postvention work is underdeveloped.

Whitsleblowing is one of the positive practices in organizations that are able to raise the level of integrity among the members of an organization. However, the roles of whistleblowing also inevitably invites a response, especially among members of the organization itself. This is because such practices are viewed as one factor that may be detrimental to the organization in addition to revealing the reporter (whistleblower) to some external threats and intimidation of discrimination within the organization. This paper is an attempt to examine the relationship between perceptions of members of the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) Contingent of Perak through the role of whistleblowing practices to increase the perception of the integrity of the members. Next, identify the purpose of the whistleblowing and its effect on the integrity of the members of the organization. This study used a descriptive quantitative analysis to identify patterns of relationship that exists between the perception of whistleblowing practices with perceptions of increased integrity based on three basic variables of demographic factors, response to whistleblowing and the impact of making the report. The results showed that members of the Perak’s police have a positive perception of whistleblowing practices which are seen to be done in improving the integrity of the members.Keywords: whistleblowing, perception, RMP members, culture, integrity, organization, influence. ABSTRAK: Whitsleblowing merupakan salah satu amalan positif dalam organisasi yang mampu untuk meningkatkan tahap integriti ahli-ahli dalam sesebuah organisasi. Namun begitu, amalan whistleblowing juga turut tidak dapat mengelak daripada mengundang pelbagai respon khususnya dalam kalangan ahli organisasi itu sendiri. Amalan sebegini turut dilihat sebagai salah satu faktor yang boleh memudaratkan organisasi di samping mendedahkan pelapor (whistleblower) kepada beberapa bentuk ancaman ugutan dari luar dan diskriminasi dalam organisasi. Kertas ini merupakan satu upaya untuk melihat perkaitan antara persepsi anggota Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) Kontinjen Perak melalui peranan amalan whistleblowing terhadap persepsi peningkatan integriti anggota. Seterusnya, mengenalpasti maksud whistleblowing dan pengaruhnya terhadap tahap integriti anggota dalam organisasi. Kajian ini menggunakan analisis kuantitatif berbentuk deskriptif bagi mengenalpasti corak hubungan yang wujud antara persepsi terhadap amalan whistleblowing dengan persepsi terhadap peningkatan integriti berdasarkan tiga pembolehubah asas iaitu faktor demografi, tanggapan terhadap whistleblowing dan kesan daripada tindakan membuat laporan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa anggota PDRM Perak mempunyai persepsi yang positif terhadap whistleblowing yang mana ianya dilihat perlu dilaksanakan dalam meningkatkan integriti anggota.Kata kunci: whistleblowing, persepsi, amalan, anggota PDRM, budaya, integriti, organisasi, pengaruh.

The objective of this study was to measure the level of cruise tourists' satisfaction as well as the relationship between satisfaction, recommendation, return intention, and expenditure. Also, the impact of factors such as nationality, length of the visit, and age on the level of expenditure was measured. An empirical approach for data collection was followed and a total of 152 questionnaires were collected from cruise tourists visiting the capital city of Oman, Muscat, as cruise liners anchor at Sultan Qaboos Port. Results of the regression analysis supported the existence of a causal relationship between satisfaction with destination attributes, overall satisfaction, recommendation, return intention, and expenditure. It was found that the average expenditure varies according to age and length of the visit. Recommendations for policy makers were suggested on how to increase the role of cruise tourism in strengthening the economy.

<p>In order to meet households energy needs, one of the groundbreaking efforts that needs to be done is to implement appropriate technology training in utilization of cow manure waste by recycling it into biogas and organic fertilizer. Animal husbandry in Bambankerep Sub-District of Ngaliyan, Semarang City, are sufficiently developed, however, the use of livestock manure has not been optimal, whereas livestock manure can be used as raw material to produce renewable energy in the form of biogas and organic fertilizer. Furthermore, Limited knowledge and skills of the people in Bambankerep sub-district in the utilization of cow manure waste by recycling it into biogas and organic fertilizer have become the main problem. Steps performed in Community service programs are as follow (1) Socialization of recycling livestock waste into a blessing; (2) training, (3) Monitoring and outreaching. The impact generated from this community service programs, among others are: (1) raising public awareness in the utilization of cow manure waste for biogas alternative energy, (2) increasing knowledge and skills of people in processing cow manure into energy and fertilizer, (3) growing number of business groups in cow manure organic fertilizer processing that are expected can improve the welfare of the people in Bambankerep sub-district, Mijen, Semarang City.</p><p> </p><p>Dalam rangka pemenuhan keperluan energi rumah tangga, salah satu upaya terobosan yang perlu dilakukan adalah melaksanakan pelatihan teknologi tepat guna pemanfaatan limbah kotoran sapi menjadi biogas dan pupuk organik. Usaha peternakan di Kelurahan Bambankerep, Ngaliyan Semarang cukup berkembang, tapi pemanfaatan kotoran ternak selama ini belum optimal, padahal kotoran ternak dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan baku untuk menghasilkan energi terbarukan dalam bentuk biogas dan pupuk organik. Keterbatasannya pengetahuan dan keterampilan yang dimiliki masyarakat di Kelurahan Bambankerep mengolah limbah kotoran sapai menjadi biogas dan pupuk organik menjadi permasalahn utama. Tahapan program pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan adalah: (1) Sosialisai pemanfaatan limbah kotoran hewan menjadi berkah; (2) pelatihan; (3) Monitoring dan Pendampingan. Dampak yang dihasilkan dari program pengabdian masyarakat ini antara lain: (1) meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk memanfaatkan limbah kotoran sapi untuk energi alternatif biogas, (2) meningkatnya pengetahuan dan ketrampilan masyarakat bidang pengolahan kotoran sapi menjadi energi dan pupuk, (3) tumbuhnya kelompok usaha pengolahan pupuk organik dari kotoran sapi sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat Kelurahan Bambankerep Ngaliyan Semarang.</p>

ABSTRACT Whistleblowing reports, if properly investigated, facilitate the early detection of fraud. Although critical, investigation-related decisions represent a relatively underexplored component of the whistleblowing process. Investigators are responsible for initially deciding whether to follow-up on reports alleging fraud. We report the results of an experimental study examining the follow-up intentions of highly experienced healthcare investigators. Participants, in the role of an insurance investigator, are asked to review a whistleblowing report alleging billing fraud occurring at a medical provider. Thus, participants are serving as external investigators. In a between-participant design, we manipulate the report type and whether the caller previously confronted the wrongdoer. We find that compared to an anonymous report, a non-anonymous report is perceived as more credible and follow-up intentions stronger. We also find that perceived credibility fully mediates the relationship between report type and follow-up intentions. Previous confrontation is not significantly associated with either perceived credibility or follow-up intentions. Data Availability: Data are available upon request.
