Community Empowerment Through Red Onion Cultivation with Polybags on 1 Ilir Urban Village, Palembang City

1 Ilir Urban Village is a village located on the Musi River edge. These Urban Village is quite broad, however underdeveloped area compared to other places in the city of Palembang. Many people live below the poverty line, lack green open space, and have inadequate educational facilities. Most of the population earns a living as laborers, while the women are ordinary housewives. To increase the income of homemakers in helping to improve the family's economy, we conduct training to increase community knowledge in red onion cultivation in polybags by utilizing a narrow yard of the house. The purpose of the activity is to provide motivation, knowledge, and skills to residents, especially housewives, by using the house's yard for onion cultivation to increase productivity and welfare. The methods used to achieve the objectives are surveys, counseling, and training the community on the use of yard land for onion cultivation in polybags and direct practice of red onion cultivation. Based on the process and results of the service that has been carried out, the training participants are very enthusiastic and understand and can carry out onion cultivation in polybags.

EU Legal Migration Policy: Are There Prospects for Progress or Is It at a Standstill?

The aim of the article is to attempt to identify the state of, and prospects for, the development of the common policy of the European Union regarding legal migration from third countries. The subject of interest is, above all, legal economic migration, which is crucial from the perspective of certain demographic processes taking place in the EU, the changes and needs of the Community’s labour market, and the challenges posed by the digital transformation. The adopted hypothesis assumes that, within the framework of EU migration and asylum policy, policy as regards legal economic migration is still an underdeveloped area and remains in the hands of individual Member States. Initiatives undertaken in this area remain overshadowed by the main focus of the common migration and asylum policy, namely the development of a common asylum system and the prevention of irregular migration. Policy regarding legal economic migration in the near future will mainly be created by Member States and play out on the domestic stage due to the lack of direct motivation for its development at the Community level. In this case, the strength of particular stakeholders’ interests is not balanced out by any direct and easily identifi able benefits to be gained from the adopted common solutions.

Highways to Hell? Paths Towards the Formal Financial Exclusion: Empirical Lessons of the Households from Northern Hungary

Whenever a household faces lack of banking payment services and access to funding, it often constraints their everyday activities and the chance to avail the financial services again. Our study explores the possible explanations of why a household becomes financially excluded in an underdeveloped area of Northern Hungary. By using a questionnaire (n = 502) in the spring of 2019, we conducted a covariance-based SEM analysis for detecting the key reasons. We find that the low level of income, high ratio of financial problems and high intensity of short-term borrowings equally and directly contribute to the financial exclusion of the households. Furthermore, we could not confirm any direct effects of the banking service availability, although bank services significantly influence an intermediary factor, which is the increasing repayment problem in the social environment. Our results verify the responsibility of the regulation in lending and debt collection to achieve a better social policy.

‘I shouldn’t even be telling you that I shouldn’t be telling you the story’: Pseudonymous Bosch and the postmodern narrator in children’s literature

This article furthers the somewhat underdeveloped area of research regarding the consideration of complex theoretical concepts such as postmodernism and metafiction in relation to children’s literature by concentrating on a stunningly complex—although by no means rare—experimental text aimed at 8–12 year-olds. Using The Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch as example, I examine how children’s literature can use such strategies to engage a child-reader and make them a tangible part of the construction of the novel. Drawing on elements of Text World Theory, diegetic narrative levels and the concept of the internal author, this study primarily explores the role of the interactive, visibly inventing, postmodern narrator, and, by extension, the dramatization of the reader as a part of the story. Framed against an academic background in which children’s literature was deemed unworthy of study or outright dismissed, this article illustrates why children’s literature is not only worthy of rigorous academic study in its own right but also that it often readily displays enough literary, linguistic, and narratological complexities to rival even the most sophisticated literature for adult readers.

Does it pay to be green? An exploratory analysis of wage differentials between green and non-green industries

PurposeThis paper investigates the potential wage impacts of a shift to more environmentally sustainable production patterns.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical analysis is carried out using labour force survey data and interval regressions.FindingsEstimates at the individual level suggest that small wage differentials exist: individuals employed in green industries earn about seven per cent more than those working in non-green industries.Originality/valueTo date, very little is known about the characteristics of jobs in the green industry and by extension, the labour force effects that can emerge or change as a result of transitioning towards a greener economy. While exploratory in nature, this analysis seeks to shed light on an underdeveloped area of research, namely, wage inequalities associated with transitioning towards green growth.

Spatial Interaction Based on Sub-District Development Index in Pandeglang Regency

Population movement is a form of spatial interaction between regions. This phenomenon arises asa logical consequence of the heterogeneity of regional development that occurs. PandeglangRegency as an underdeveloped area should not be left behind because of the many leaks of spatialinteractions that are more directed outside this district. Investigating the daily mobilization of thepopulation internally is important in determining which sub-districts play a role as a destination foreconomic activity. The basic data used include the survey origin destination of Banten Province in2019 and data on Potential Villages (Podes) 2019 in the Pandeglang Regency. The method used isthe Scalogram method to determine the Sub-District Development Index (SDI) and the gravitymethod to analyze spatial interactions. The Hierarchical classification was carried out on the SDIvariable, the number of daily movements (density), and the distance between districts. This is doneto see the intensity of the daily movement of the population according to density, distance, andSDI hierarchy class. The spatial interaction magnitude is estimated based on the populationestimation parameters and SDI through the natural logarithmic transformation (ln) of the gravitymethod formula. The results show that the highest average population movement occurs in thehigh-density hierarchy leading to the sub-districts of the SDI 1 hierarchy. The sub-districts ofCadasari, Munjul, Patia, Saketi, and Sukaresmi as sub-districts from which spatial interactionoriginate will produce positive intensity values when compared to other sub-districts. CadasariSub-District will provide a positive spatial interaction value when it becomes the goal of the dailymovement of the population.
