People’s Behavior of North Indralaya of Ogan Ilir Against Wetland Fires

Konversi lahan dari fungsi aslinya mengakibatkan dampak negatif berupa kebakaran akibat aktivitas penebangan untuk membuka lahan yang dilakukan manusia. Salah satu lokasi kebakaran lahan basah di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan terjadi pada area seluas 3,925 ha di Kabupaten Ogan Ilir di tahun 2018. Kelalaian manusia yang seringkali melakukan pembukaan lahan dengan cara membakar menyebabkan kebakaran lahan basah. Kurangnya pengetahuan, informasi dan sanksi juga menjadi alasan masyarakat tidak perduli terhadap dampak yang ditimbulkan dari kegiatan membakar lahan. Dalam theory of planned behavior, perilaku tersusun dari keyakinan dan evaluasi seseorang untuk menumbuhkan sikap, norma subjektif, dan kontrol perilaku sebagai mediator terbentuknya niat. Desain penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian bersifat kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif, yaitu mengkaji dan menganalisis persepsi masyarakat terhadap kejadian kebakaran di lahan basah Ogan Ilir Sumatera Selatan. Informan penelitian berjumlah 16 orang yang terdiri dari 12 informan kunci dan 4 informan ahli. Informan kunci dipilih berdasarkan kriteria kepemilikan tanah, lokasi tempat tinggal dan mata pencaharian utama yang berdomisi di Desa Palem Raya dan Kelurahan Timbangan, Kecamatan Indralaya Utara. Empat orang informan ahli ialah Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD), Camat Indralaya Utara, dan dua orang kepala desa/lurah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sikap terhadap perilaku, norma subjektif, dan persepsi kontrol mendorong terbentuknya niat masyarakat Kecamatan Indralaya Utara untuk tidak melakukan pembakaran lahan. Sejak 2019, masyarakat tidak lagi membuka lahan dengan cara dibakar karena sudah ada peraturan pemerintah yang tegas sehingga dapat mengendalikan perilaku masyarakat dalam membakar lahan.ABSTRACT Land conversion from its original function resulted in negative impacts in the form of fires due to logging activities to clear land by humans. One of wetland fires located in South Sumatera Province is happened to 3,925 ha area on Ogan Ilir District in 2018. Human negligence which often clears land by burning caused of wetland fires. Lack of knowledge, information and sanctions are also reasons why people don't care about the impact of land burning activities. The theory of planned behavior states that behavior is composed of individual belief and evaluation to foster attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral control as mediators of intention. The research design used in this study is qualitative with a descriptive approach, which is to examine and analyze public perceptions of the occurrence of fires in the Ogan Ilir wetlands of South Sumatera. The research informants are 16 persons consisted 12 key informants and 4 expert informants.

Action Verb Nosi `Cooking` in Bima Language: A Study of Natural Semantic Metalanguage

There are two subordinate structures in action verbs, namely uncompositional polysemy. Action verbs to do and happen are action verbs with uncomposed polysemy, including Cooking Nose. This research aims to find out the mapping and explication of the 'cooking' action verb. The method used is qualitative. The data source consists of oral data taken from key informants, written data collected from storybooks in the Bima language and language intuition. The technique used is interview and literature study. The data collection method is advanced, namely the agih method with the application of transformation and insertion techniques used to reveal the original meaning contained in BBM. The default meaning is used to determine the semantic structure of VBBm by explication or paraphrasing techniques. Each verb nosi cooking is based on: the tool, the model of movement, the part of the entity that is being treated, the result that the agent wants to achieve. The results show that the Bima language action verb 'Cooking' in general has a component mapping `X Doing something to Y` and therefore `Something happened to Y`. A number of words that contain the meaning of cooking: lowi, mbako, danda, salunga, puru, sanggowo, sanggapi, suje, ncango, and tumi, gule. This variant has unique semantic characteristics so that the meaning content of each word is different even though it is still in the same field of meaning (Cf. Adawiyah, 2021).

Events, Evolution, Controversies in the Implementation of a Health Surveillance Qualification Program

The objective is to describe the implementation and development of the Training Program for Health Surveillance Actions (2013-2018), which focuses on improving the performance of health surveillance. It is an evaluation research with a qualitative method. Key informants were interviewed, and documents and literature were analyzed. The analysis enabled the construction of the timeline, the retrieval of the chronology of the events that marked the development of the program, its implementation, and the identification of innovations and controversies. The authors identified three organizational axes: conception/formulation, implementation/monitoring, evaluation/communication. They found that the program went beyond the traditional approach to surveillance and met regional diversities. There were controversies about the responsibility for monitoring the program's actions, whether they belonged to the technical areas related to the indicators or to the management of the program at the Ministry of Health.

Making Space for Qualitative Evidence in Global Maternal and Child Health Policymaking

The success of health interventions often hinges on complex processes of implementation, the impact of sociopolitical and cultural contexts, resource constraints and opportunity costs, and issues of equity and accountability. Qualitative research offers critical insights for understanding these issues. “Qualitative evidence syntheses” (or QES)—modeled on quantitative systematic reviews—have recently emerged as an important vehicle for integrating insights from qualitative evidence into global health policy. However, it is challenging to integrate QES into policymaking in ways that are both acceptable to the often-conservative health policy world and consonant with social science’s distinctive methodologies and paradigms. Based on my experiences participating in and observing numerous guideline working group meetings and interviews with key informants, this chapter offers an auto-ethnographic account of an effort to integrate QES into the World Health Organization’s global OptimizeMNH guidelines for task shifting in maternal and newborn health (MNH). It is based on my experiences participating in and observing numerous guideline working group meetings as well as interviews with several key informants. Advocates of QES were successful in helping to make a place for qualitative evidence in this global guideline. Their work, however, required a delicate balance between adopting quantitatively inspired methods for evidence synthesis and innovating new methods that would both suit the project needs and be seen as legitimate by qualitative researchers. This case study of the development of one WHO guideline does not signal a revolution in knowledge production, but it does show there remains room—perhaps growing room—for a more expansive vision of what forms of knowledge need to be on the table when developing global health policy.

The use of Mobile Phones in Strengthening Health and Demographic Data Collection by Community key Informants : Experiences from the Kintampo Health and Demographic Surveillance System

Identification and reporting of vital events such as births and deaths remain a challenge within communities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). LMICs are recently experiencing high mobile phone penetration. This study, therefore, explored the feasibility of Community Key Informants (CKIs) using mobile phone technology to improve reporting of vital events at the community level. Sixty CKIs were purposively sampled from the Kintampo Health and Demographic Surveillance System (KHDSS) setting based on mobile phone ownership. CKIs were grouped into an intervention and a control group. The intervention arm was provided with mobile phone air time to report vital events that occurred in their communities. The control group used the routine system of reporting in the KHDSS. The number of vital events reported by CKIs increased at the end line compared to baseline: (pregnancy: 40.25% to 72.80%; birth: 56.52% to 69.80%; deaths: 33.33% to 68.60%). The time interval between event identification and reporting was much shorter for the intervention group at the end line compared to baseline: (Intervention: 95.06 days to 31.35 days, Control: 87.54 days to 80.57 days). This study demonstrated the feasibility of CKIs using a mobile phone in reporting vital events more timely and effectively.

Migration and the Gender Impact of Covid-19 on Nepalese Women

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted lives globally, and many have been “stranded” overseas with little if any support in getting home. The stranded include migrant workers whose remittances bolster their household income and home country’s national GDP, and who are often overlooked in COVID-19 responses. This paper focuses on Nepalese women employed in the domestic work sector but last on repatriation flight lists and returnee policies and programmes. The pandemic has made an already precarious working life even more difficult. The study focuses on how women employed in Lebanon in in normal times have been able to exercise their agency in a complex socio‑political environment and how this has been disrupted by COVID-19 and the hostile political and social environment, both at home and abroad. This research is based on literature, contemporary newspaper reports, and key informants’ interviews with people working on migration issues in Nepal.

Empowerment of Riverside Communities in Sustainable Environmental Management (Study in Petuk Katimpun Village, Jekan Raya District, Palangka Raya City)

This study aims to analyze the empowerment of people who live and settle on the banks of the river in Petuk Katimpun Village, Jekan Raya District, Palangka Raya City, especially in stunting prevention efforts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 key informants who were considered to have distinctive characters. The data collected were analyzed by qualitative methods. The results of this study illustrate that there is a model in empowering riverbank communities because the character of the people who live on the banks of the river has its own characteristics and plus generally are Dayak ethnicities, people who live on the banks of the river are very dependent on all the potential of the river and its surroundings, especially in the field of fisheries with the karamba method. and the fish produced are partly a source of nutrition, then also by utilizing purun plants as their alternative livelihood. Then the position of the house on stilts occupied also affects the fisheries sector they manage. On the other hand, the flood impact caused losses to the fish seeds that were developed because they came from fertilizer residue from oil palm plantations upstream.

Challenges in Providing Health Care Services During COVID-19 Pandemic: Exploration of Providers’ Perspectives in Nepal.

IntroductionThe rapid increase of COVID-19 cases since the beginning of May 2020, imposition of lockdown, and preparation activities to detect, manage and treat COVID-19 in public hospitals have impacted on the provision of non-COVID health care services resulting in increased morbidity and mortality in Nepal. This study aims to explore challenges in providing non-COVID as well as COVID-19 health care services through public hospitals in Eastern Nepal.MethodsA qualitative study with 25 key informants from three public hospitals in Eastern Nepal was conducted. Key informants were health care workers (HCWs) and managers of the hospitals. A thematic analysis was carried out to identify challenges in providing non-COVID and COVID-19 health care services.ResultsWe identified four themes: weak implementation; weak co-ordination and management; low accountability of HCWs and staff; and risk of infection and stigma as the challenges to provide COVID-19 health care services. We identified three themes: maintaining safety measures in hospitals, managing patients, and fear of infection as the challenges in provision of non-COVID health care services. Inadequate resources and HCWs, lengthy procurement process, and poor jobs specification were the main reasons for weak implementation. HCWs stated weak hospital administration while managers and focal persons complained of low accountability of HCWs and staff to manage COVID-19 health care services.ConclusionIn addition to inadequate resources; the risk of infection of COVID-19, maintaining safety measures in hospitals, ensuring clear leadership and governance, and preparing motivated and accountable HCWs and staff to get ‘work done’ are unique challenges observed in the study hospitals; and consequently need to be addressed.
