Shifting Livelihoods of Farmers in Namlea City
Get PDFAs a result of land conversion into infrastructure development areas, cultivated land in Namlea Village has decreased which hurts farmers' ability to earn a living. Changes in land function are the primary source of problems because they reduce farmers' production. This study aimed to determine how farmers' efforts to diversify sources of income and adapt to urban changes have affected their agricultural land. This study uses a qualitative approach, and the number of informants to be interviewed was 18 people, who were interviewed purposefully. The informants surveyed in Namlea Village, Buru Regency, were farmers, housewives, community leaders, traditional leaders, and religious leaders. The data for this study were collected through in-depth interviews and observation methods. This study concluded that the shift in farmers' livelihoods as an impact of land conversion is carried out so that farmers' productivity is decreasing, as well as farmers'. To overcome the effect of land conversion in Namlea Village, the efforts needed are to encourage diversification of farmers' income through side business training, develop sustainable agribusiness, and provide access to capital and technology for production efficiency and wise land use planning, community empowerment in decision making, and social protection programs for farmers are also important
Beyond the Brain: Applying the Extended Mind Concept for Cognitive Optimization in the Digital Era
Get PDFThe Extended Mind concept, as introduced in The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain by Annie Murphy Paul, challenges the traditional view that cognition is solely confined to the brain. This book argues that human thinking extends beyond neural processes, incorporating the body, environment, social interactions, and technology. By understanding these external cognitive factors, individuals and organizations can optimize learning, problem-solving, and productivity. This article reviews the key ideas of the book, highlighting its relevance to education, the workplace, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) as a cognitive extension. The first major aspect, thinking with the body, demonstrates that gestures, movement, and physical interaction enhance cognitive performance, creativity, and problem-solving. In education, incorporating physical movement into learning activities improves comprehension, while in the workplace, structured movement fosters innovation. The second aspect, utilizing space and environment, emphasizes the impact of well-designed physical spaces on cognitive efficiency. Proper lighting, workspace flexibility, and architectural elements influence focus, productivity, and collaboration. The third aspect, social interaction as a thinking tool, underscores how collaboration and discussion accelerate information processing and critical thinking. Work environments that promote interaction enhance decision-making and employee satisfaction. Finally, integrating technology in cognitive systems explores AI's role in augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it. AI can streamline data analysis and decision-making but must be used as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for human cognition. The book's insights offer valuable recommendations for education and industry. Educational institutions should integrate embodied learning techniques and create interactive learning environments. Organizations should design workspaces that enhance cognitive efficiency and balance AI integration with human expertise. Ultimately, The Extended Mind is a compelling read for educators, professionals, and researchers seeking to understand and enhance human cognition. Its synthesis of neuroscience, psychology, and real-world applications makes it an essential resource in the modern era of AI and digital transformation

Inovasi Penanggulangan Stunting Melalui Implementasi Program OMASUKA di Kelurahan Gajah Sakti Kecamatan Mandau Kabupaten Bengkalis
No full textThis study aims to determine the implementation of the OMASUKA (Mandau Special Healthy Food Taxi for Toddlers) program by TP-PKK in tackling stunting in Gajah Sakti Village, Mandau District, Bengkalis Regency. This program is one of the community-based service innovations in the form of providing supplementary food delivered directly to the homes of toddlers with stunting status. The background of this study is based on the high rate of stunting in the area and the need for community-based interventions to overcome stunting. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, documentation and triangulation. The theory used as an analytical tool is the theory of policy implementation according to George Edward III, which includes communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the OMASUKA program has been running quite well. However, several inhibiting factors were found, firstly in the communication aspect, although coordination between policy implementers is running well, mothers of toddlers who receive benefits still have minimal understanding of the OMASUKA program and the issue of stunting. Then, the program implementation has not been consistent due to the uncertain frequency of activities. As well as limited operational facilities are inadequate.

Urban Poverty Alleviation Strategies to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
Get PDFThis study explores the strategies implemented by the North Jakarta City Government to address extreme poverty in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using Kampung Apung in Muara Baru as a case study. Kampung Apung represents a severe case of structural poverty in urban coastal areas, characterized by limited access to clean water, sanitation, education, and healthcare services. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with government officials, related agencies, and local residents. The findings reveal that the poverty alleviation strategies consist of four key aspects: organizational strategy, program strategy, resource support strategy, and institutional strategy. Despite some improvements in poverty rates, structural barriers persist, such as unequal access to assistance and misaligned program targeting. The study concludes that a more comprehensive and sustainable approach, along with enhanced inter-agency coordination, is essential for effectively addressing poverty in Kampung Apung and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs.
