Preventive and Promotional Effort for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus based on Local Resources

The people of Gendang Rejeng are potentially at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes due to their unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits linked to their traditional practices. There are efforts to identify the potential risk of type 2 diabetes and carry out preventive and promotive measures based on local potentials. The efforts include: 1) health check-ups; 2) diabetes screening; 3) health education; and 4) discussion with community leaders on adapting traditional practices to be more health-friendly. Through the study we discovered that out of 29 people of Gendang Rejeng that had been screened for diabetes, 62.1% had a low risk, 13.8% had a higher risk, and the remaining 24.1% had a moderate risk of diabetes. There is a need to study local potentials and traditional elements which can be incorporated into the efforts to reduce the risk of diabetes and prevent other health complication. Ginger is an example of one of the local potentials that can be utilized for consumption to improve the health of the people of Rejeng

SMART VILLAGES AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

The “smart village” concept is relatively new among EU decision- and policy it is a result of many-it is a result of many years of debate, economic and territorial inequalities, social exclusion, diversification of certain areas, gradual reduction of agricultural activities and the interaction of cohesion, regional, and common agricultural policy. The concept of smart villages implies saving villages and their inhabitants, protecting cultural heritage and using local potentials to meet modern challenges. In its initial stages, it requires activities of all stakeholders, from individuals living in the rural area in question to decision-makers participating in identifying the strengths, threats, opportunities, and weaknesses of a certain rural area. Apart from the theoretical definition of smart villages, this paper aims to analyse European regulations of smart villages, and to define the challenges and smart village traps in rural development and ways in which they can be prevented.

Identification of Lampung local potential as source of Biology learning in senior high school

This research is a preliminary study on a small and limited scale that aims to identify local potentials in the Lampung area as a source of learning biology with conformity to the Basic Competencies in the 2013 Curriculum. This study used a qualitative method with a survey technique through an exploratory descriptive approach. Participants in this study were all biology teachers from 17 public high schools in Bandar Lampung totaling 30 teachers (5 males and 25 females). The selection of participation was done through purposive sampling technique using certain criteria. The results of the study show 18 local potentials of Lampung consisting of 6 natural resource potentials, 4 conservation areas, 4 culinary delights, 2 arts, 1 handicraft and 1 traditional ceremony. The grouping of local potentials can be related to the subject of biology at the high school level. Local potential can be categorized as use in the field of education, namely natural resources and conservation areas. It can alsobe used as practicum activities with the help of LKPD media. Furthermore,local culinary potential can be used as practicum activities on learning devices (RPP), local potentials for arts, crafts. moreover, traditional ceremonies can be used as an additional reference for enrichment programs on learning devices (RPP).

Study of nonlocality effects in direct capture reactions with Lagrange-mesh R-matrix method

We apply the Lagrange-mesh [Formula: see text]-matrix method to calculate the [Formula: see text]-factor for the [Formula: see text]C[Formula: see text]N and [Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text]F direct radiative capture reactions. By comparing the astrophysical [Formula: see text]-factors calculated with nonlocal and local potentials, we investigate the nonlocality effects coming from the nuclear potentials in the direct capture reactions. Our calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data and indicate a nonnegligible difference in the results of local and nonlocal potentials. The use of small diffuseness narrow potentials also provides a remarkably good fit in the case with multiple broad resonances. Our findings suggest that the nonlocal potential improves the calculated results although the difference between the local and nonlocal potentials is smaller than uncertainties from other sources. We propose the nonlocality potential should be used in the potential model calculation of future astrophysics rates evaluation.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION’S LEADING SECTOR POTENTIAL WITH LOCATION QUOTIENT (LQ) ANALYSIS FOR SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMY IN THE NEW NORMAL ERA

This study aims to analyze the potential of the regional superior sector in West Aceh Regency and its expansion area by using Location Quotient analysis or abbreviated as LQ towards a sustainable economy in the new normal era. The data used is secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency for each district and province of Aceh. Gross regional domestic product data for the 2010-2020 period is 17 sectors. The results showed that the highest LQ value in Simeulue Regency was 2.18 for the government administration sector, then 1.51 for the agriculture, forestry and fishery sectors. For information, this district excels in lobster cultivation. Next is Nagan Raya Regency with an LQ of 2.88 in the mining/excavation sector and 1.52 in the agriculture/plantation sector. This value is obtained because this district excels in mining C and oil palm plantations. Then Aceh Jaya with an LQ of 1.81 in the construction sector and 1.55 in the transportation sector because this area is superior in terms of tourism. Finally, West Aceh Regency with an LQ value of 1.59 for the financial/information services sector. While in the agricultural/forestry sector it is 1.17 because this district excels in financial services and is the largest city on the southwest coast of Aceh. The leading sectors above must still be managed properly, especially local potentials while still paying attention to a sustainable environmental economy. This is not excessive considering that in this new normal era, the economy must continue to rise even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic by sticking to health protocols.

Energy Gaps in BN/GNRs Planar Heterostructure

Using the tight-binding approach, we study the band gaps of boron nitride (BN)/ graphene nanoribbon (GNR) planar heterostructures, with GNRs embedded in a BN sheet. The width of BN has little effect on the band gap of a heterostructure. The band gap oscillates and decreases from 2.44 eV to 0.26 eV, as the width of armchair GNRs, nA, increases from 1 to 20, while the band gap gradually decreases from 3.13 eV to 0.09 eV, as the width of zigzag GNRs, nZ, increases from 1 to 80. For the planar heterojunctions with either armchair-shaped or zigzag-shaped edges, the band gaps can be manipulated by local potentials, leading to a phase transition from semiconductor to metal. In addition, the influence of lattice mismatch on the band gap is also investigated.

Community Development, Local Wisdoms, and Ineffective Government Aid: The Case of Lombok Post-Disaster House Reconstruction Project

Despite the high frequency of disasters, post-disaster development projects in Indonesia have yet been implemented effectively. Such may not be easily reflected through the number of aid projects given, for the reality is much more complex. This article believes that the significance of development projects should be assessed from the aid recipients' perspective. The excess rebuilding back in Aceh's 2004 post-disaster case is one example that shows the importance of paying attention to recipient needs from their perspective rather than aid giver perceptions. The post-disaster condition in Lombok back in 2018 could serve as an example to show the effectiveness of post-disaster development in Indonesia recently. In accordance, this article aims to show how the post-disaster community development programs implemented by multi-stakeholders in Indonesia, especially government-initiated ones, have yet successfully fulfilled Lombok post-disaster victims' needs. The article also found that active initiation from the locals and careful attention to local potentials and wisdom is crucial to determine post-disaster development's success. Such a conclusion is based on the assessment of whether the programs have fulfilled community development principles, in addition to satisfying the victim's human security.

Effectiveness Test of Juwet Leaf Extract and Juwet Cortex Against Desreasing Blood Glucose Levels of Hiperglemic Mice

Diabetes melitus drugs are currently quite expensive, so they require a cheaper and more effective substitute for drugs to control glucose levels in people with diabetes melitus. Exploring local potentials using medicinal plants can be an alternative to chemical drugs. One of the medicinal plants that is thought to be used for people with diabetes mellitus is juwet. Juwet leaves are suspected to have hypoglycemic activity, because they contain flavonoid and saponin compounds. Juwet bark also contains chemical compounds, namely flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. This study aims to determine the decrease in blood glucose levels in dextrose-induced mice by giving juwet leaf extract and juwet bark extract (Syzygium cumini L.). The test animals used were 36 male mice (Mus musculus) aged 2-3 months with a weight of 20-30 grams. This type of research was carried out experimentally and the design of this study used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD), which was divided into 12 treatments and 3 replications. The 12 treatments are juwet leaf extract and juwet bark with the same dose, namely the dose of 0 mg/kg BB, 150 mg/kg BB, 200 mg/kg BB, 250 mg/kg. Data from the research were analyzed statistically using One Way ANOVA and continued with the LSD test. The results showed that administration of juwet leaf extract and juwet bark extract at various doses had a significant effect on decreasing blood glucose levels of mice. The most effective dose to reduce blood glucose levels is juwet bark extract with a dose of 250 mg/kg BB.

LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE POTENTIAL APPROACHES IN THE DESIGN OF A MASTER PLAN ARCHITECTURE: CASE STUDY OF PAKSEBALI TOURISM VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT, INDONESIA

This research aimed to plan the design of the master plan through a local potential and sustainable approach in creating a master plan architecture Paksebali tourism village. The research methods used are Research and Development (R&D) method in qualitative research. The first step was carried out with a study of the Paksebali Tourism Village to find the right approach's characteristics and then develop it in the form of an architectural design of a tourist village master plan. This study's results indicate that the master plan for Paksebali Tourism Village is based on developing supporting facilities for local potentials by maintaining these potentials' sustainability, which is implemented in master plan designs both macro and micro. This sustainability is fundamental as the consistency of this potential is conservative, maintains local characteristics, and becomes a welfare source for local communities. The Paksebali Tourism Village master plan's architectural design transformation requires these considerations (local potential and sustainability).
