ABSTRACT
The focus of this research is to identify the dynamics of regional economic development through digital trends towards tourist visits and the promotion of tourist destinations in the Lake Toba area during the F1 Powerboat World Championship (F1H2O) event on Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Through the conduct of online research methods (ORMs) in diagnosing digital social issues and trends regarding the events, the results show that there was an effort to maximize the increase in regional economic development, by utilizing the potential and attractiveness of holding the F1 Powerboat as part of sports tourism. As an event aims to spur the movement of domestic tourists to super-priority destination areas, the implementation of the F1 Powerboat event is not only a driving force in the recovery and improvement of the local economy after the COVID-19 Pandemic, but also a venue for the promotion of other tourist destinations in North Sumatra. However, the positive impacts of this event organization on sustainable economic growth in the surrounding areas is not without reservations. The event has received some negative feedback, which include the problems of event preparation and implementation, and also the limited awareness of local community tourism. This research suggests that in order to achieve sustainable regional development and urban resilience, the future organization of sport tourism events should not only focus on the economic objectives, but also on the other aspects including socio-cultural and environmental perspectives. © 2023 by the authors.
ABSTRACT
Covid-19 pandemic had limited people's movement despite the demand to remain productive and maintain good health. Therefore, it was necessary to provide foods which are easy to distribute, durable, nutritious, and easily transformable to increase immunity. This research aims to develop a composite flour (TK) formula with optimal proportion of wheat flour (TT), snakehead fish flour (TIG), pumpkin flour (TBuL), and pumpkin seed flour (TBiL) which then enriched with zinc. The resulting TK is expected to be used as an ingredient for nutritious snacks containing high protein and zinc. The research was conducted in four stages, namely the making of each constituent flour, determining the best formulation with the Response Surface Methodology using Central Composite Design model, characterizing the physicochemical properties of TK and making meatballs, biscuits, and unting-unting from the TK. The three products were tested on experimental animals for their metabolic responses. The optimization of the formula resulted in three optimal formulations, namely formula A, B, and C with the proportion of TT:TIG:TBuL:TBiL respectively as follows 55:20:15:10;56.65:20:13.35:10;57.98:20:12.02:10. The most optimal formula of composite flour was formula A with the highest protein (26.12%) and zinc (18.06 mg/kg) content among other formulas. Then, zinc was added into Formula A using microencapsulation, and TK with protein content of 26.74% and zinc of 56.8 mg/kg were obtained. The histopatology observation on experimental animals showed that the three products made from TK did not cause necrosis of the liver or cell infiltration in the kidneys.
ABSTRACT
The present article intends to examine the impact of market size, openness, inflation rate, political stability, level of corruption, population, and level of human capital, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on tax revenue. This research is a quantitative research with a multiplier linear regression model. The sample used includes provinces in Indonesia from 2014 to 2019 with 180 observations. Model testing is done with FEM – GLS Heteros and Autoregressive model. The results show that market size, openness, inflation rate, corruption level, population, and human capital and FDI have a positive effect on tax revenue. The effect of the inflation rate is not according to the research hypothesis. This shows that a stable inflation rate is one possibility that has a positive relationship to tax revenue. When the price of goods or services rises but is still within a controllable threshold, it will increase the amount of income and of course tax revenue. Meanwhile, political stability has no effect on tax revenue. So that political stability is not the key to tax revenue. Political stability has a weak influence on low and middle-income countries. As for the level of corruption, there are new findings which have a positive effect on tax revenue. The level of corruption is measured by the number of corruption crimes handled by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), while the handling of corruption is not only carried out by the KPK. The actual impact of corruption shall be observed through analyzing personal income tax instead. © 2022, Procedia Environmental Science, Engineering and Management. All Rights Reserved.
ABSTRACT
The pandemic has transformed various aspects of everyday life. Since it first spread in 2020 until this day, the world has drastically reduced face-To-face interaction, resulting in almost all daily activities have been adapted to the virtual world. Social media, the bridge that connects people at this time when social distancing is imposed, records public issues and opinions in these difficult times. Entering the post-pandemic era, social media plays an important role in recording the world's journey to deal with the impact of COVID-19. This study examines the dissemination of information in one of the social media that is widely used by the world's population, Twitter. With the quantitative method, the distribution of information on Twitter related to what issues are being discussed post-pandemic is analyzed. The trend of information in this application shows the focus mainly fell on various social issues that affect many people, especially regarding economic recovery. The results of this study can be used as a source of information or a reference source, and can also be used as data in predicting various kinds of post-pandemic activities. © 2022 EDP Sciences.

ABSTRACT
The challenge of learning science during the COVID-19 pandemic in elementary schools focuses on the need for digital learning materials for Science Process Skills (SPS) through the perspective of science as an investigation process. This study aims to investigate the influence of interactive digital worksheets based on level of inquiry towards science process skills during the covid-19 pandemic in elementary school. In the study a quasi-experimental research design with pretest-posttest control groups was adopted. The participants were composed of 124 fifth grade elementary school students. The data were collected via the SPS test through measurement indicators of observation, classifying, communication, measuring, inference, and prediction aspects. The obtained data were analyzed using independent sample t-test after going through the assumption test of normality, homogeneity and balance. The results of calculating the hypothesis test obtained p = 0.000 at a significance level of 5% indicating that there is a difference between IDW and student SPS. The effect size test was obtained by a percentage of 66.18% so that it can be concluded that the use of IDW based on LoI can effectively increase SPS in elementary school students. Interactive facilities and ease of access as well as the suitability of work stages based on the LoI contribute to student independence and stimulate student SPS in elementary schools during learning during the pandemic. © 2022, Pegem Egitim ve Ogretim Dergisi.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the community's disruption of nutrition and health services, including the closure of an integrated healthcare center (posyandu) in many areas in Indonesia. Posyandu plays an important role in nutrition services, particularly in detecting and managing growth and development disorders, such as stunting. This study aims to identify the improvement of knowledge in health cadres and community leaders in areas with high cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM), namely, Temon, Kalibawang, and Dekso subdistricts in Kulon Progo, DIY, which followed a capacity -building program about strengthening the role of the community in the delivery of nutrition programs.Methods: The program was conducted through interactive online seminars to ensure the continuity of essential nutrition care services during this pandemic. This study used a one-group pre-test and post-test design. Knowledge measurement was conducted in three consecutive online seminars with 180 participants: health cadres/volunteers, village heads, community leaders, nursery/early years teachers, and academicians. The pre-test and post-test questionnaires were spread through Google Forms before and after online seminars and assessed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Results: The results showed that the participants improved their knowledge in webinars I and III (p-value 0.001). However, there was no significant improvement in the participants'knowledge in webinar II (p-value 0.251).Conclusions: Multi-sectoral collaboration among the government, community leaders, health cadres, health professionals, non-government organizations, institutions, and nursery/early years teachers are needed to reduce stunting, particularly in pandemic situations.

ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by Severe Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2. In 2020, Indonesia is the second country with the highest COVID-19 pandemic cases in Southeast Asia. Prevention of the spread of COVID-19 is carried out by quarantining infected individuals. The spread of this infectious disease can be represented in a susceptible infected quarantine recovered (SIQR) model. We formulate a SIQR model, apply the model to COVID-19 in Indonesia, determine the pattern of its transmission, and interpret the results of the application of the model. In this paper, the data used from March 2020 to January 2021 were analyzed to obtain the parameter values. Based on the application, the pattern of the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia during 2020-2025 shows that the number of susceptible, infected, quarantine, and recovered individuals are downward trends. Furthermore, there are still infected individuals in 2025, and this amount can be reduced if the quarantine and self-isolation process is carried out optimally. © 2022 Author(s).
ABSTRACT
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper provides valuable information to establish new comparative policies between ASEAN countries. The study used disproportionate policy-making that stimulated the understanding of different adaptive strategies. The paper identified the extent of government response policy as a range of proportionate public involvement. The measure of disproportionality was obtained by calculating the regional differentiation in a particular country's average response to a crisis. This study found that six ASEAN countries are disproportional in their Policy Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Thailand is ranked the highest and classified as the most prepared country in terms of Global Health Security, and four countries are classified as normo-action. Indeed, Thailand is one of the countries with the most-prepared health security. Nonetheless, countries deemed less prepared and underreacting include Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, and the Philippines, which have all witnessed continuous rapid growth in COVID-19 infections.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has a severe impact globally, not limited to general health and mental health. Pregnant women are a vulnerable group. Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy significantly affect physical and psychological health. AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore the anxiety felt by pregnant women holistically about their pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODOLOGY: This study is qualitative phenomenological research with a naturalistic approach. The informants consisted of 20 pregnant women from three different islands and provinces in Indonesia in February 2021. They were selected to obtain heterogeneous data based on education level, gestational age, urban-rural areas, culture, and religion. The collection of information data used semi-structured interview guidelines with 12 questions. Data analysis used qualitative content analysis to explore pregnant women’s anxiety with a similar meaning using software (Nvivo release 12). RESULTS: Five domains caused anxiety for pregnant women related to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as feeling worried about being infected with COVID-19, the impact on health during pregnancy, the family economy, the circulating information around the community, and unfulfilled spiritual needs in utilizing places of worship. CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic influenced pregnant women in a bio-psycho-socio-cultural manner, both about themselves, their fetuses, and their families. Anxiety that mothers feel during the pregnancy process needs proper treatment to protect the mothers’ health and babies’ well-being in the future. Thus, early detection or screening of anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic in health services is necessary. © 2022 Arlina Dewi Triantoro Safaria, Supriyatiningsih Wenang, Iwan Dewanto, Alfun Dhiya An, Dyah Tri Kusuma Dewi.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The anxiety of pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic increased compared to pregnancy in ordinary conditions because pregnant women are one of the populations vulnerable to Covid-19 infection. The Covid-19 Pandemic can affect the health of pregnant women and fetuses, even feared increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the anxiety of pregnant women, especially related to maternal and infant health in the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: This research is using a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study were all pregnant women who were willing to take part in this study. Respondents came from three islands in Indonesia, namely Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra. The sampling technique used accidental sampling;as many as 20 respondents carried out checks at health facilities during the pandemic Covid-19. Researchers adopted the Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale (PSRS) instrument for 36 items statement and converted it in a google form for online surveys. The data analysis in this study used a frequency distribution. Results: The results showed that most of the pregnant women who experienced a severe level of anxiety in "finding safe health facilities for mothers and babies during pregnancy, and childbirth" (32.3) with a tertiary level of education (71.4), live outside the island of Java (83.3), and anxiety increased in the second trimester (61.5) and the third trimester (66.7). Conclusion:The emotional well-being of pregnant women must be maintained to produce a good quality pregnancy outcome, so that health workers need to identify pregnant women's anxiety earlyto minimize its effects. In addition, pregnant women must have the self-awareness to assess the health conditions, including anxiety during the pregnancy process.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic harmed the world community including hemodialysis patients. It has affected the physical and psychological status of hemodialysis patients. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the dialysis adequacy, interdialytic weight gain, and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 105 regular hemodialysis patients from three hemodialysis centers in Riau Province, Indonesia. The patients were purposively recruited. Data on hemodialysis adequacy and interdialytic weight gain were collected in April–May 2020 using an observation sheet, while the quality of life was measured using SF 36. To analyze the data, Pearson’s correlation test and linear regression were performed. RESULTS: Within the sample of 53 male patients was 50.5% and 52 female patients was 49.5%. The mean score of dialysis adequacy during April–May was 1.75, while the mean IDWG was 2.2 kg, and the mean quality of life was 91.51. There was a relationship between adequacy and IDWG (p = 0.002), and between IDWG and quality of life (p =0.015). There was no relationship between adequacy and quality of life (p = 0.360). CONCLUSION: IDWG influenced the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Health-care professionals need to help patients to keep their IDWG in the normal range to survive within COVID-19 pandemic.
ABSTRACT
Traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce boredom or stress due to staying at home, must continue to apply health protocols. However, there are still many people who are indifferent to these rules, causing community nurses to have a role and have the right strategy so that there will no longer be an increase in the positive number of COVID-19. This study aims to find out the right strategy carried out by community nurses for families doing tourism to continue to apply health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. This type of quantitative descriptive research is carried out through interviews and filling out questionnaires to expert respondents. The results of the questionnaire showing strategic priorities, paired comparisons were carried out which were analyzed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The results of the study, which was preceded by the determination of three indicators consisting of health, family, and tourism protocol, resulted in 7 alternative strategies. Of the seven alternatives, there are three strategic priorities in a row which consist of providing communication, information, and education (KIE) media regarding the prevention and control of COVID-19 in strategic locations in every tourist spot. © 2021 International Journal of Health Sciences.

ABSTRACT
A fraudulent financial statement is an issue that continues to be discussed as a form of deviation from corporate governance. Covid-19 pandemic has also demanded managements to uphold the company’s performance to have good public image. Thus, the present study sets out to scrutinize the fraud pentagon theory on fraudulent financial statements. Each element is not able to be tested directly. However, there are proxies. The pressure element is providing as a personal financial need. The opportunity is becoming the industry’s nature. Each of the quality of the external auditors as well as the turnover of board directors proposes rationalization and competence. The quantity of CEO’s appearance in photos is a proxy of arrogance. The testing was carried out on the registered pharmaceutical companies of the Indonesian stock exchange in the span of the 2015-2019 periods. The samples were selected by the means of sampling technique which is purposive. Data are scrutinized by the means of panel data regression. The analysis results show that the characteristic of the industry positively affects financial reports which are fraudulent. Changing top management positions such as directors can be an indication of financial reports which are fraudulent. The personal financial need variables, the caliber of external auditors and the quantity of CEO’s appearance in photos poses no effects on the fraudulent financial statements of the Indonesian’s pharmaceutical companies. © 2021
ABSTRACT
This study aims to see the economic growth of traditional villages in Bali with the potential local resources owned by traditional villages. The problem of economic growth in Bali during the Covid-19 pandemic slowed down which had an impact on slowing down economic growth in traditional village, which led to the decline in the welfare of traditional village manner. Therefore, it is necessary to study the regulatory and growth aspects of economic growth strategies in customary villages based on local resources. This is a socio-legal research with a regulatory approach and data, which is the result of observation or social data. This study shows that the regulatory aspect of accelerating economic growth in traditional village Law 10 of 2009 on Tourism, Law 23 of 2014 on Regional Government, Bali Provincial Regulation 4 of 2019 concerning Implementing Regulations for Regional Regulation 4 of 2019 about Traditional Villages in Bali and also the strategy can be used by traditional villages in accelerating economic growth is the strategy with the Penta Helix model, which is a model for developing a synergy of 5 (five) elements, namely the Government, traditional village, academics, entrepreneurs, and the media © 2021, Journal of Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues.

ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2. There have been 218,382 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 8,723 deaths in Indonesia till September 15, 2020. To fight Covid-19, the Indonesian Government modified the lockdown policy to become a large-scale social restriction (LSSR) according to the pandemic level in each region. The LSSR was implemented in DKI Jakarta on April 10, 2020, the epicenter of the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia. In this article, we propose the Susceptible-Infected-Hospitalized-Recovered (SIHR) epidemic model for impact analysis of LSSR on epidemic conditions and predict the long-term dynamic COVID-19 in Indonesia. This study extends the SIR model by adding a hospitalized compartment. Finally, we analyze the results of our mathematical model, estimate the model of essential parameters, and predict the disease by considering the real Indonesian cases from March 2 to September 6, 2020. Based on the result, LSSR has a good enough impact on solving the pandemic in Indonesia. One of the factors is because there is a significant difference in transmission rate (β) values. The new normal transmission rate is 75% higher than the LSSR’s.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 infection can show various manifestation, including neurologic manifestations, such as anosmia, ageusia, or dysgeusia, and causes the neurologic disorder such as stroke, Guillain-Barre syndrome, encephalopathy, and many more. AIM: To briefly review neurologic manifestation in COVID-19 infection in the Asia region (South East Asia and the Western Pacific Region). MATERIAL AND METHODS: This review uses the PRISMA statement and checklist. The source for reviewed article was performed in PubMed that were published between December 2019 to September 2020 with the latest 1 year of publication. Study titles were first screened, then reviewed by title and abstract and then the last review, we tested full text and applied eligibility criteria. RESULTS: We found a total of 9 retrieved articles from the electronic database. Among these 9 articles, 5 of them are case report, 1 case series, 1 prospective multi-center cohort study, 1 retrospective multi-center study, and 1 retrospective observational study. All articles reported confirmed COVID-19, confirmation by positive swab test using the real-time RT-PCR method, with neurologic manifestations, disorder, or syndrome on presentation or found during hospital stay. In case of neurologic disorder or syndrome, the studies reported encephalitis and ADEM, acute cerebrovascular disease, acute symptomatic seizure, and Guillain-Barré syndrome with acute cerebrovascular disease as the most common neurologic disorder associated with COVID-19 infection, followed by encephalitis. CONCLUSION: COVID-19 also affects the brain, which may result in a global or focal neurologic manifestation. Healthcare provider treating patient with COVID-19 infection should also be aware of neurologic manifestation associated with COVID-19 infection to improve patient's outcome.Guillain-Barre syndrome, encephalopathy, and many more. This review will briefly review neurologic manifestation in COVID-19 infection in the Asian region (South East Asia and the Western Pacific Region. A total of 9 retrieved articles from the electronic database reported confirmed COVID-19, confirmation by RT-PCR method, with neurologic manifestation, disorder, or syndrome on presentation or found during hospital stay. Healthcare provider treating patient with COVID-19 infection should also be aware of neurologic manifestation associated with COVID-19 infection to improve patient's outcome.
ABSTRACT
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), better known as the coronavirus, is a new type of coronavirus that is transmitted to humans. This virus infection is called COVID-19 and was first discovered in the city of Wuhan, China, at the end of December 2019. This virus spread quickly and has spread to other regions in China and several countries, including Indonesia. This disease results in coronavirus pandemic 2019-2020. The objective of this research is to determine the inhibitory ability of several active compounds from natural sources against COVID-19 target protein in silico using molecular docking. In silico research was conducted using autodock 4.2 program by evaluating the binding energy between the active compound with ACE2, TMPRSS2, RdRp, 3CLpro and PLpro as the target proteins. All chemical compounds that evaluated such as asiatic acid, andrographolide, apigenin, brazilein, brazilin, catechin, curcumin, gingerol, hesperidin, hesperetin, kaemferol, luteolin, myricetin, naringenin and quercetin had an affinity to target protein. It reflects that active compounds in medicinal plants can be used as antiviral against COVID-19. Brazilein and brazilin from secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) have a superior bond to ACE2 and lower binding energy value than chloroquine, arbidol, remdesivir, ribavirin and lopinavir. Citrus sp containing hesperidin had an excellent affinity to TMPRSS2. Secang wood and citrus sp. could be developed as an anti-SARS-CoV-2 through inhibiting ACE2, TMPRSS2, RdRp and protease (3CLpro and PLpro) that interfered the process of virus infection at the entry, replication and advanced stages, causing worst effect such as pneumonia.
