Birth order and intrahousehold allocation of food: Unequal allocation for unwanted children
No full textBackground: Food allocation is a fundamental aspect within households, seemingly capable of being distributed evenly among household members, especially among siblings. However, several factors can lead to differences in food allocation among siblings. Method: Using data from IFLS 4 and 5, with food variety as a proxy for food allocation, this study examines two influential factors on food allocation: birth order and imperfect fertility control status. Additionally, this study attempts to elucidate the mechanism of the birth order effect using the aforementioned imperfect fertility control status. FIndings: The findings of this study reveal a negative effect of birth order on household food allocation. Moreover, children with undesired status or belonging to families with undesired status due to imperfect fertility control tend to have lower food variety. Conclusion: However, this study cannot causally explain the mechanism behind the negative effect of birth order through imperfect fertility control status. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study analyzes the effects of birth order and fertility control status on household food allocation, finding adverse effects of birth order and unwanted status on food variation. As a novelty, this study proposes the development of a family-based nutrition intervention program that considers intra-household dynamics, aiming to reduce the gap in food allocation between siblings and improve children's overall nutritional status
Kearifan lokal sasi ikan lompa masyarakat Desa Haruku dalam menjaga kelestarian ekosistem laut: Studi literatur
No full textThe local wisdom of the Maluku traditional community, especially in the practice of sasi, shows a strong understanding of the importance of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. In the management of natural resources, sasi law, which is recognized both written and unwritten, is an important basis. Sasi, which is considered sacred and combines religious and traditional values, plays an important role in preserving the environment. This practice is becoming more and more crucial in the face of growing environmental harm from irresponsible behavior on the part of some people. Using secondary data found, evaluated, and integrated from previous research on the local wisdom of Sasi Ikan Lompa, this research uses literature, documents, books, and various scientific journals. The research results show that lompa fish sasi in Haruku Village, which is supported by established regulations, shows the awareness of indigenous peoples about environmental conservation. The lompa fish sasi is closed when the fish reaches the age of seven months, when the fish is in the nener phase. Coastal communities also harvest lompa fish as bait and food. Lompa fish is used as a main side dish and bait, and the people of Haruku Village also sell it to earn money. Lompa fish that is not sold can be consumed immediately or preserved for use in the next few months. The indigenous people of Haruku Village really hope to maintain and preserve local wisdom about sasi ikan lompa. This is important to maintain marine ecosystems, maintain the abundance of lompa fish, and help the community

Efektivitas pembangkit listrik tenaga mikrohidro sebagai penyedia energi baru terbarukan berbasis komunitas: (Studi Kasus: PLTMH Anggi, Kabupaten Pegunungan Arfak dan PLTMH Kali Ombak, Kabupaten Maybrat, Papua Barat)
No full textIndonesia is currently trying to achieve the number 7 sustainable development target in the energy sector through renewable energy. This is evidenced by achieving an electrification ratio of 99.20% in Indonesia, with one of Indonesia's renewable energy potentials in micro hydro to provide electricity in rural areas. This research will discuss the potential for providing micro-hydro power plants (PLTMH) outside Java, especially in West Papua Province. The research was conducted qualitatively, using a comparative study research method to compare research variables, namely the operational efficiency of the Anggi PLTMH in Anggi District, Arfak Mountains, West Papua, and the Kali Ombak PLTMH in South Mare District, Maybrat Regency, West Papua from an environmental aspect (analysis of electricity production from the PLTMH, carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the operation of the PLTMH, and a comparison of environmental impacts based on the type of environmental documents) and social aspects (reduction in the cost of community electricity due to the implementation of the PLTMH, the number of households channeled electricity, and the implementation of community involvement in the management of the PLTMH). The study results show that the Anggi PLTMH is more effective than the Kali Ombak PLTMH in providing micro-hydropower in terms of electricity production capacity, reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, and reduction of electricity costs. PLTMH Anggi can generate electricity of 108.9 kW, reduce carbon dioxide by 2.1693 tons of CO2, and save electricity costs of Rp 4,441,891.608, which is superior to PLTMH Kali Ombak. However, currently, there is still a need for development in the social field in the operation of PLTMH, both PLTMH Anggi and PLTMH Kali Ombak, in the form of community involvement because active community involvement has not yet been realized, both in the planning and maintenance stages of PLTMH and the socialization of environmental impacts based on the type of environmental documents to be able to manage the impact perspective. The community's negative attitude toward PLTMH activities
