Industri Kecil dan Menengah (IKM) merupakan salah satu bidang yang memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan dalam memacu pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia, terutama para generasi muda karena merasakan hal ini merupakan profesi yang cocok untuk dikerjakan. Meskipun sangat populer, ekonomi kreatif memiliki tantangan di masa pandemi Covid-19 kali ini banyak sekali IKM yang bergerak di bidang tersebut terpaksa gulung tikar karena tidak mampu bertahan karena resesi pandemi Covid. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi peran IKM dalam meningkatkan kreativitas dan cara mengelola ekonomi kreatif selama masa pandemi Covid-19 dan Adaptasi Kebiasaan Baru (AKB) dengan dukungan metode survei. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan IKM melalui penguatan branding dalam Ekonomi Kreatif; Promosi dan Pemasaran di digital; dan memetakan faktor-faktor internal maupun eksternal dengan penciptaan iklim usaha yang kondusif, memberikan bantuan permodalan, adanya perlindungan usaha dari pemerintah, diusahakan adanya pengembangan penguatan kemitraan, pengembangan promosi, dan pengembangan kerjasama yang setara.

<p><em>This study aims at describing the effectiveness of local wisdom-based teaching materials on the creative writing skills of elementary school students. The sample of the study was 2^nd-grade students at SDN 1 Campurdarat, which amounted to 45 students. The research design uses quasi-experimental research in the form of a nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design. The data were collected using the instrument of creative writing skills. The analysis was performed by different tests using the Wilcoxon formula. The results showed that there were differences before and after the use of teaching materials based on local wisdom towards students' creative writing skills. The results of evaluating creative writing on each learning from learning 1 to 6 show the students' mastery in achieving creative writing criteria.</em></p>

Background: Stunting is affected by various factors from mother and child. Previous studies assessed only one or more influencing variables. Unfortunately, nor the significant influence of maternal and child factors nor the indicators contributing to maternal and child factors that affect the stunting incidence have ever been analyzed.Purpose: This study analyzed the effect of maternal and child factors on stunting and the significant indicators that shape the maternal and child factors that impact stunting.Methods: This was a case-control study. Overall, 132 stunted children and 132 non-stunted children in Purbalingga Regency, Central Java Province, participated in the research. Direct interviews and medical record reviews were conducted to assess the studied variables. The research data were tested using the partial least squares structural equation with a formative model.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan perbedaan kualitas fisik, kimia dan profile asam lemak pada daging entog (itik manila) dan itik lokal lainnya (Magelang, Tegal dan Mojosari). Pada penelitian digunakan metode eksperimental, dengan rancangan percobaan Rancangan Acak Lengkap. Faktor bangsa digunakan sebagai perlakuan yaitu Itik Manila, Magelang, Tegal dan Mojosari yang diulang sebanyak 5 kali. Analisis variansi dan uji beda nyata jujur digunakan untuk menganalisis data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan kualitas fisik daging pada warna, pH dan susut masak, sedangkan daya ikat air dan keempukan tidak berbeda nyata. Kandungan nutrisi secara makro yaitu lemak dan kolesterol dan protein relatif sama, akan tetapi persentase asam lemaknya berbeda. Entog memiliki kandungan asam lemak tak jenuh rantai ganda lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan itik lokal lainnya. Penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa daging entok memiliki kualitas fisik dan kimia relatif sama, akan tetapi profil asam lemaknya lebih baik dibandingkan dengan itik lokal lainnya. Daging itik manila lebih sehat dikonsumsi karena mengandung asam lemak tak jenuh rantai ganda lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan itik lokal lainnya. Kata kunci: Itik manila, itik lokal, kualitas daging, asam lemak ABSTRACTThis research was aimed to differentiate the meat physical, chemical and fatty acid profile quality in muscovy and other local ducks (Magelang, Tegal and mojosari). Completely Randomized Design was used in this study. Breed used as treatments was muscovy, Magelang, Tegal and Mojosari ducks repeated 5 times. Analysis of variance and honestly significant difference were used to analyze data. Result showed there were differences in physical quality of meat in the term of colour, pH, and cooking loss, while water holding capacity and tenderness were relatively similar. Fat, cholesterol and protein were relatively similar. Muscovy duck has a higher polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) than the other local duck. In conclusion, the physical and chemical quality of meat of muscovy and other local ducks were silimar. Muscovy duck meat is healthier to consume due to a higher polyunsaturated fatty acids than the other local ducks.

Growing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in viral infection. The objective of this study was to assess the association between the expression of miR-150, hsa-let-7e, and miR-146a on cytokine expression during dengue infection. Dengue virus (DENV) strain SJN-006, a serotype 2 DENV strain of the Cosmopolitan genotype, isolated in Bali, Indonesia, was used to infect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from healthy individuals. The relative gene expressions of miR-150, hsa-let-7e, and miR-146a as well as the gene expression of cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IP-10, and MIP-1β) were determined using quantitative real time - polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) at 6, 12 and 24 hours post infection (hpi). Correlations between the microRNAs and cytokines were analyzed by means of causality tests. Our data suggests that miR-150 and hsa-let-7e were significantly higher in infected-PBMCs after 12 hpi compared to the uninfected-PBMCs (p<0.05). The causality tests demonstrated that miR-150 and hsa-let-7e were negatively correlated with IL-8 expression, meanwhile miR-146a was the contrast. DENV infection was negatively and positively correlated with miR-150 and hsa-let-7e, respectively, after 24 hpi. In conclusion, our data demonstrates the vital role of miR-150, hsa-let-7e, and miR-146a in regulating IL-8 expression with possible different pathways.

<p>This study aims to determine what factors influence regional economic growth. The analysis technique used is to combine time series data and cross-section (pooling data). Time-series data from 2015 - 2017 and cross section data consisting of 34 provinces in Indonesia. The results of the model test using the redundant fixed effect test and random effect-Hausman test show that the best model is the fixed effect model (FEM). Regression results show that only the HDI (Human Development Index) variable is not significant, the other variables (fiscal decentralization, capital, and labor) have a significant positive effect on regional economic growth.</p>

Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui latihan small sided game dapat meningkatkan keterampilan teknik dasar passing dalam permainan futsal. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen. Desain penelitian ini adalah pre test post test control group design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa ekstrakulikuler di SMP Taruna Mandiri yang berjumlah 36 siswa. Teknik sampling dalam penelitian ini adalah total sampling. Maka sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 36 siswa. Instrument penelitian ini menggunakan tes keterampilan teknik dasar passing-stoping. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah menunjukkan bahwa nilai t hitung lebih besar dari pada t tabel (6.90 > 1.70) yang berarti bahwa small sided game memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap keterampilan gerak dasar passing dalam permainan futsal di SMP Taruna Mandiri. Kesimpulan penelitian ini yaitu penerapan variasi latihan berbentuk small sided game sangat cocok digunakan dalam olahraga futsal, terutama untuk meningkatkan keterampilan passing.
