Many developing countries on the equator, including Indonesia, have the potential for renewable and sustainable resources, such as solar energy. However, despite the enormous potential, the adoption level remains low. Previously, several studies discussed the potential, the feasibility, and the supporting policy of this technology, but none have been discussed from the customers’ perspective on a national scale. Therefore, this study attempts to determine the factors affecting the customers’ intention to use solar photovoltaics in Indonesia to develop a sustainable circular supply chain for renewable energy. This investigation was conducted based on integrating the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Furthermore, an online questionnaire was successfully distributed with a total of 208 participants. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to derive the causal relationships of the proposed hypotheses. The results indicated that price value (PV) has a positive relationship and a significant influence on attitude toward use (ATU), which leads to the behavioral intention (BI) to make the construct the most affecting factor. This is the first comprehensive study to analyze the intention to use rooftop solar panels based on the UTAUT2 and TPB framework. The successful approach to support photovoltaic use will bring less waste and strengthen the circular supply chain to support sustainable development.
ObjectiveTo identify aetiologies of childhood community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) based on a comprehensive diagnostic approach.Design‘Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research-Pneumonia in Paediatrics (PEER-PePPeS)’ study was an observational prospective cohort study conducted from July 2017 to September 2019.SettingGovernment referral teaching hospitals and satellite sites in three cities in Indonesia: Semarang, Yogyakarta and Tangerang.ParticipantsHospitalised children aged 2–59 months who met the criteria for pneumonia were eligible. Children were excluded if they had been hospitalised for >24 hours; had malignancy or history of malignancy; a history of long-term (>2 months) steroid therapy, or conditions that might interfere with compliance with study procedures.Main outcome(s) measure(s)Causative bacterial, viral or mixed pathogen(s) for pneumonia were determined using microbiological, molecular and serological tests from routinely collected specimens (blood, sputum and nasopharyngeal swabs). We applied a previously published algorithm (PEER-PePPeS rules) to determine the causative pathogen(s).Results188 subjects were enrolled. Based on our algorithm, 48 (25.5%) had a bacterial infection, 31 (16.5%) had a viral infection, 76 (40.4%) had mixed bacterial and viral infections, and 33 (17.6%) were unable to be classified. The five most common causative pathogens identified were Haemophilus influenzae non-type B (N=73, 38.8%), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (N=51, 27.1%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (N=43, 22.9%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (N=29, 15.4%) and Influenza virus (N=25, 13.3%). RSV and influenza virus diagnoses were highly associated with Indonesia’s rainy season (November–March). The PCR assays on induced sputum (IS) specimens captured most of the pathogens identified in this study.ConclusionsOur study found that H. influenzae non-type B and RSV were the most frequently identified pathogens causing hospitalised CAP among Indonesian children aged 2–59 months old. Our study also highlights the importance of PCR for diagnosis and by extension, appropriate use of antimicrobials.Trail registration numberNCT03366454
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Drained peatlands are one of the main sources of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions globally. Emission reduction and, more generally, ecosystem restoration can be achieved by raising the water table using canal or drain blocks. When restoring large areas, the number of blocks becomes limited by the available resources, which raises the following question: in which exact positions should a given number of blocks be placed in order to maximize the water table raise throughout the area? There is neither a simple nor an analytic answer. The water table response is a complex phenomenon that depends on several factors, such as the topology of the canal network, site topography, peat hydraulic properties, vegetation characteristics and meteorological conditions. We developed a new method to position the canal blocks based on the combination of a hydrological model and heuristic optimization algorithms. We applied this approach to a large drained peatland area (931&#8201;km<sup>2</sup>) in Sumatra, Indonesia. Our solution consistently improved the performance of traditional block locating methods, indicating that drained peatland restoration can be made more effective at the same cost by selecting the positions of the blocks using the presented scheme.</p>
Di Era globalisasi, terdapat banyak kemajuan baik dibidang IPTEK maupun sosial budaya sehingga manusia mengalami perubahan baik dari segi pola pikir dan tingkah laku yang di pengaruhi lingkungan sekitar. Untuk menjaga karakter manusia yang sesuai dengan norma yang berlaku di masyarakat, perlu adanya pendidikan karakter pada anak dikarenakan pada usia anak-anak merupakan tingkat keemasan yang memiliki potensi alami yang baik untuk dikembangkan berupa pengetahuan disertai dengan kesadaran, emosi dan perasaannya. Pendidikan karakter anak dimulai dalam ranah keluarga dan diaplikasikan melalui pola asuh masing-masing orang tua kepada anaknya. Jenis pola asuh dalam ilmu psikologi ada 3 yakni otoriter, permisif dan demokratis. Pengabdian masyarakat di Dusun Ngelorejo Desa Srumbung Kecamatan Srumbung Kabupaten Magelang perlu diadakan Sosialisasi pembentukan karakter pada anak yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi peranan dan jenis pendekatan keluarga dalam membentuk karakter anak agar menjadi generasi taat akan norma-norma yang berlaku. Pendekatan yang digunakan kualitatif dengan metode sosialiasi. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dan wawancara, para orang tua disana memiliki jenis pola asuh otoriter dan permisif. Pola asuh otoriter merupakan pola asuh yang keras dan menerapkan komunikasi satu arah sehingga menjadikan anak memiliki sifat tertutup, kurang percaya diri, dan kurang mampu mengekspresikan dalam melakukan kegiatan. Sementara pola asuh permisif memberikan kebebasan tanpa memberikan norma masyarakat sehingga menjadikan anak memiliki sifat egois, kurang peka terhadap lingkungan dan kurang dapat menerapkan nilai-nilai masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orang tua memiliki peranan penting dalam pendidikan karakter anak, memberikan pola asuh yang tepat disertai kasih sayang, kedisiplinan, nasehat, dan keteladanan.
Curah hujan merupakan salah satu parameter hujan yang dapat diukur. Dimana curah hujan menyatakan seberapa besar tinggi air yang ditimbulkan oleh hujan di suatu daerah. Alat untuk megukur jumlah curah hujan yang turun kepermukaan tanah per satuan luas, disebut Penakar Curah Hujan. Curah hujan 1 (satu) milimeter, artinya dalam luasan satu meter persegi pada tempat yang datar tertampung air setinggi 1 (satu) milimeter atau tertampung air sebanyak 1 (satu) liter atau 1000 ml. Penakar hujan Tipping Bucket, nilai curah hujannya tiap bucket berjungkit tidak sama, serta luas permukaan corongnya beragam, misalnya ada yang 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm dan lain-lain. Dalam perancangan alat ini resolusi Tipping Bucket yang digunakan ialah 0.2 mm, dan juga memakai Modul Sensor Reed Switch. Reed Switch akan bekerja ketika magnet yang di tempel pada bagian tengah Tipping Bucket mendekati sensor Reed Switch, yang dimana Tipping Bucket akan bergerak disaat curah hujan masuk ke dalam corong dan akan ditampung pada Tipping Bucket yang membuat Tipping Bucket akan berjungkit. Kemudian Reed Switch akan mendeteksi magnet yang ada pada Tipping Bucket. Mikrokontroler berfungsi untuk membaca data dari Modul Sensor Reed Switch yang tiap kali ada sentuhan dari magnet.
