Piloting moringa agribusiness to improve villagers’ economic community

This activity was motivated by the low economic status of the village community, which is located far from the center of the district capital. On the other hand, there is potential for the development of kelor (Moringa) in the village. This community service was carried out with the aim of improving the community's economy through Moringa agribusiness in Pilangrejo Village, Nglipar District, Gunung Kidul Regency. This activity was carried out in January-June 2020, in Danyangan Hamlet, Pilangrejo Village, Nglipar District, Gunungkidul Regency. This activity was attended by the people of Danyangan Hamlet, both men and women. The male participants were those who make a living as farmers. While the female participants were housewives who do not have any permanent livelihood. The number of primary participants were 10 people who were community leaders in Pilangrejo Village. The implementation stages of activities include kelor planting and seedling, training on post-harvest processing, and providing production tool. The implementation of this activity is based on subsystems in agribusiness, namely the upstream (input) subsystem, on-farm subsystem and downstream subsystem. The results of this activity can be said that the piloting of Moringa agribusiness can be one solution that can be done in an effort to improve the economy of the community in Danyangan Hamlet, Pilangrejo Village, Gunung Kidul Regency. The benefits that can be obtained in this activity include the sale of Moringa powder and the use of Moringa as the main menu in the community's food pattern.

Price promotions offered by quick service restaurants in Australia: analysis from an obesity prevention perspective

Objective To assess the price promotions offered by major quick service restaurant (QSR) chains in Australia from an obesity prevention perspective. Design Cross-sectional audit of ten of the largest QSR chains in Australia. We collected information regarding temporary price promotions and ‘combination deals’ offered by each chain over thirteen consecutive weeks in 2019/2020. We assessed the type of promotions, magnitude of discount, and the energy content and healthiness of items promoted (based on Victorian Government criteria). Setting QSR chains operating in Melbourne, Australia. Results Temporary price promotions (n=196) and combination deals (n=537 on regular menus, n=36 on children’s menus) were observed across the ten selected QSRs. In relation to temporary price promotions, the mean magnitude of discount for main menu items (n=75) was 41.7%. The price reductions and energy content of combination deals varied substantially by chain, meal size and the sides/drinks selected as part of the ‘deal’. When the lowest-energy options (e.g., small chips, small sugar-free drink) were included as part of each combination deal, the mean energy content was 2935kJ, compared to 5764kJ when the highest-energy options (e.g., large fries, large sugar-sweetened drink) were included. Almost all available products were classified as unhealthy. Conclusion Price promotions are ubiquitous in major QSR chains in Australia and provide incentives to consume high levels of energy. Action to restrict price promotions on unhealthy foods and ensure lower-energy default items as part of combination deals should be included as part of efforts to improve population diets and address obesity in Australia.

The stereotypical representation of women in the classic fairy tales Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty

The stereotype that emerges from some classic fairy tales is a princess who has a beautiful face and an angelic heart, a prince on a white horse who is handsome and charming, and a happy ending forever. These three sweet things are generally always the main menu served in bedtime fairy tales, including the classic fairy tales Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. Besides sounding beautiful, the plot and characterization presented in the classic fairy tale represent a woman through feminine standards packaged through stereotypes. This research uses qualitative research methods and narrative analysis. The research results found details of the seven functional characters of the characters in the fairy tale. It can then be seen that various stereotypical representations aimed at women in the three tales, ranging from the obsession with natural beauty, misconceptions about the meaning of ambition, and marriage, are the solution for all the problems of a woman.

Increasing availability of lower energy meals vs. energy labelling in virtual full-service restaurants: two randomized controlled trials in participants of higher and lower socioeconomic position

Background There are a range of interventions designed to promote healthier food choices in full-service restaurants. However, it is unclear how these interventions affect dietary choices in people of lower and higher socioeconomic position (SEP). Methods A total of 2091 US participants recruited online completed Study 1 (n = 1001) and Study 2 (n = 1090). Recruitment was stratified by participant highest education level, resulting in higher SEP and lower SEP groups. In a between-subjects design, participants made hypothetical food choices (main dish, plus optional sides and desserts) from six restaurants menus in the absence vs. presence of menu energy labelling and from menus with baseline (10%) vs. increased availability (50%) of lower energy main dishes. Data were collected and analysed in 2019. Two studies were conducted in order to examine replicability and generalisability of findings across different restaurant menu types. Results Across both studies, increasing the availability of lower energy main menu options decreased the average energy content of the ordered main dish (− 129 kcal, 95% CI [− 139; − 119]) and total energy ordered (− 117 kcal, 95% CI [− 138; − 95]) in both higher and lower SEP participants. Energy labelling significantly reduced the energy content of ordered main dishes in higher SEP participants (− 41 kcal, 95% CI [− 54; − 29]), but not lower SEP participants (− 5 kcal, 95% CI [− 22; 11]). However, energy labelling reduced total energy ordered (− 83 kcal, 95% CI [− 105; − 60]) irrespective of SEP. Conclusions In two virtual experiments, increasing the availability of lower energy restaurant main menu options impacted on main menu dish choice and decreased total energy ordered irrespective of SEP. Energy labelling had a less pronounced effect on total energy ordered and had a larger impact on the energy content of main menu dish choice in higher as opposed to lower SEP participants. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04336540 retrospectively registered (7 April, 2020).

The use of soft power in digital public diplomacy

The focus of this comparative study is on the use of soft power in the digital‎ public diplomacy of two Global South players, Brazil and India, in EU member‎ states. The main objective of this research is to find out how their embassies‎ use digital diplomacy in communication through their official websites‎ and to identify which soft power resources they dominantly use. Quantitative‎ content analysis and thematic analysis were used to analyze the categories and‎ subcategories on the main menu and special banners on each embassy’s home‎ page, and the associated content. Unlike the Indian embassies, which fully‎ embraced digital diplomacy 2.0, the Brazilian embassies do not utilize the full‎ potential of digital diplomacy and primarily remain reliant on websites only.‎ According to this research, the Brazilian embassies in the EU use film as a‎ dominant soft power resource in their digital diplomacy, while the Indian embassies‎ use yoga as a powerful diplomatic tool. Still, both approaches are not‎ enough to attract European publics. There remains a lot of space for improvement‎ and better usage of soft power resources and digital public diplomacy‎ potentials in communicating the powers of Brazil and India in EU countries.‎

Diversity of Vegetable Types Typical to Lombok Island in an Effort to Support Food Security in the Community

The island of Lombok with the majority of its original inhabitants, namely the Sasak tribe, has known and used a number of plants as typical food or vegetables to complement the main menu. Typical vegetables are vegetables that are only found in an area, at a certain season and processed in a special way. Currently, the existence of vegetables typical of the island of Lombok is rarely found and some of them are starting to become extinct. This study aims to obtain data related to the diversity of species, economic value and distribution of typical vegetables on the island of Lombok. The information obtained is very much needed in building a data base that can be used as important information in the process of plant conservation and domestication. The research method used was an exploratory survey with a qualitative approach through a structured interview technique using a questionnaire that was presented orally. The research locations were all districts on the island of Lombok. The results showed that there were 53 types of vegetables typical of the island of Lombok. Trees are the most common types of habitus (17 species), then shrubs (16 species), herbaceous species (14) and 10 creeping types. Young leaves are part of the plant that is most widely used as a vegetable. Most of these vegetables are not traded and grow wild in forests or cultivated areas. The districts of East Lombok and Central Lombok are the areas where the most of these types of vegetables are found, while the city of Mataram is the area with the least. The small area and the lack of green open space are suspected to be the cause of the reduction in the typical vegetables found in the city of Mataram.

The Phenomenon of "Badapu" Tradition with Nutritional Status in Postpartum Mothers in West Aceh

Cultural practices negatively affect public health behavior, making it more likely to have an infection. In Aceh there is a tradition applied to post-partum mothers called Madeung, which is a tradition carried out by women after giving birth for 44 days with a variety of applicable provisions. The purpose of this study was to determine the nutritional status of postpartum mothers based on the phenomenon of carrying out the tradition of "Badapu" as an effort to improve nutrition for postpartum mothers in West Aceh. This type of research is explanatory survey or explanation aimed at studying the patterns of consumption of traditional food "Badapu" in West Aceh (quantitative) and people's perceptions of traditional food Badapu (qualitative). The planned design is one group before and after intervention design, or one group pre and post test design. The results obtained illustrate the pattern of food consumption in postpartum mothers who carry out the tradition of Badapu, which varies slightly and is almost the same every day with the main menu of rice, eggs and fried fish. All postpartum mothers (100%) consume rice as a food source of carbohydrate as the biggest energy contributor. At least puerperal mothers who eat snacks because there are restrictions on being able to consume these foods. The existence of restrictions on postpartum mothers who carry out the tradition of Badapu to consume several types of food ingredients that contain water, which is generally found in vegetables and fruits.
