Fairly efficient or efficiently fair: success factors and constraints of payment and reward schemes for environmental services in Asia
No full text Payment for environmental service (PES) is strictly defined as a market-based environmental policy instrument to achieve environmental protection in the most efficient way. However, an increasing body of literature shows that the prescriptive conceptualization of PES cannot be easily generalized and implemented in practice and the commodification of ecosystem services is problematic. To investigate the underlying causes, this PhD study combines a quantitative and qualitative research approach using case studies in Indonesia, the Philippines and Nepal. The empirical observations on emerging PES-mechanisms in the Asian case studies show that interdependency of fairness and efficiency should be the main consideration in designing and implementing a PES scheme in developing countries. Neither fairness nor efficiency alone should be the primary aim but an intermediate PES that is “fairly efficient and efficiently fair” may bridge the gap between PES theory and the practical implementation of PES to increase ES provision and improve livelihoods. </p
Understanding Resident Intention and Behavior toward Water Conservation Initiative in the Upstream of West Java, Indonesia
No full textUpstream areas have long been targeted as the priority of water conservation initiatives. While earlier studies often considered underlying socio-psychological factors determining residents’ intention and behaviors in water conservation, studies that focused on the resident’s intention and behavior in upstream areas, where water is abundant, remain underexplored. The current study used socio-psychological constructs of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), i.e., subjective norm, attitudes toward behavior, and perceived behavioral control, to analyze the determinants of water conservation intention and behavior in two villages upstream of West Java (i.e., Cibeusi and Sanca villages), Indonesia. A total of 200 usable questionnaires were retrieved. Structural equation modeling was used to determine the linkages and strength of relationships among constructs. There was evidence that residents perceived behavioral control exerted the most significant influence on residents’ water conservation intention and behavior. Moreover, perceived behavioral control was an effective mediator of the linkage between attitude and residents’ intention and behavior. The findings confirmed the suitability of TPB in explaining interrelationships among determinant factors that explain residents’ intention and behavior, albeit with different mechanisms and effects. The study implied that increasing awareness of the value of water conservation would significantly affect residents’ attitudes, which subsequently increased their willingness to perform water conservation efforts. © 2022 The Author(s)
Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospital workers before and after vaccination programme in East Java, Indonesia - A retrospective cohort study
No full textBACKGROUND: The incidence of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) among healthcare workers (HCWs) is widespread. It is important to understand COVID-19 characteristics among HCWs before and after vaccination. We evaluated the incidence of COVID-19 among HCWs in East Java, Indonesia comparing the characteristics of the disease between the pre- vs post-vaccination periods. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was conducted among HCWs in two major hospitals in East Java, Indonesia, between April 01, 2020, and Oct 31, 2021. All HCWs were offered vaccination with inactivated viral vaccine (CoronaVac) from Jan 15, 2021. Therefore, we divided the time of the study into the pre-vaccination period (between April 01, 2020, and Jan 14, 2021) and post-vaccination period (between Jan 15 and Oct 31, 2021). We then compared the pattern of COVID-19 infections, and hospitalisations between these periods. FINDINGS: A total of 434 (15.1%) and 649 (22.6%) SARS-CoV-2 infections were reported among study participants (n=2,878) during the pre-vaccination and post-vaccination periods, respectively. The vaccine effectiveness was 73.3% during the first 3-4 months after vaccination but this decreased to 17.6% at 6-7 months after vaccination, which coincided with the emergence of the delta variant. The overall hospitalisation rate was reduced from 23.5% in the pre-vaccination period to 14.3% in the post-vaccination period. Hypertension appeared to be the strongest risk factor affecting hospitalisation in the pre-vaccination period. However, the risk due to hypertension was reduced in the post-vaccination period. INTERPRETATION: The risk to contract COVID-19 remains high among HCWs in East Java, Indonesia. Vaccination is important to reduce infection and hospitalisation. It is essentially important to evaluate the characteristics of COVID-19 infection, hospitalisation, the impact of co-morbidities and vaccine effectiveness in order to improve the measures applied in protecting HCWs during the pandemic.

Membangun Ekonomi Hijau Berbasis Ecoprint: Studi Pemberdayaan Masyarakat di Desa Carul, Bumijawa, Tegal
No full textDesa Carul memiliki potensi lokal yang besar berupa tanaman lokal seperti daun jati, daun pepaya, dan daun singkong, namun potensi tersebut belum sepenuhnya dioptimalkan oleh masyarakat untuk meningkatkan perekonomian lokal. Minimnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam memanfaatkan tanaman tersebut menjadi faktor penghambat utama dalam menciptakan produk bernilai ekonomis tinggi. Sebagai solusi terhadap permasalahan ini, dilaksanakan program pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pelatihan ecoprint dengan dua teknik utama, yaitu teknik pounding pada media kain totebag dan teknik kukus pada media gelas mug. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan ini menggunakan pendekatan Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), yang meliputi tahapan discovery, dream, design, define, dan destiny, serta didukung metode demonstrasi, diskusi interaktif, dan praktik langsung. Sebanyak 32 peserta dari kalangan PKK dan Karang Taruna Desa Carul terlibat aktif dalam pelatihan ini. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa peserta mengalami peningkatan signifikan dalam pengetahuan dan keterampilan pembuatan ecoprint, khususnya dalam menguasai teknik pounding dan kukus. Sebelumnya peserta belum mengenal konsep ecoprint, namun pasca-pelatihan, mereka mampu menghasilkan produk ecoprint yang kreatif, estetis, dan bernilai ekonomi. Faktor pendukung keberhasilan kegiatan ini adalah ketersediaan bahan baku alami yang melimpah dan antusiasme tinggi peserta pelatihan. Adapun faktor penghambat utamanya adalah kondisi musim kemarau yang menyebabkan sulitnya memperoleh bahan baku dedaunan muda. Oleh karena itu, disarankan agar pelatihan lanjutan dan pendampingan dilakukan secara berkelanjutan untuk memastikan pemanfaatan optimal sumber daya lokal dalam pengembangan ekonomi kreatif berbasis ecoprint
Evaluation of Antibody Response and Adverse Effects following Heterologous COVID-19 Vaccine Booster with mRNA Vaccine among Healthcare Workers in Indonesia
No full textBackground: The administration of the third (or booster) dose of COVID-19 vaccine is important in maintaining protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection or the severity of the disease. In Indonesia, health care workers (HCWs) are among the first to receive a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. In this study, we evaluated the antibody response and adverse events following heterologous booster vaccine using mRNA-1273 among HCWs that were fully vaccinated with inactivated viral vaccine as the priming doses. Methods: 75 HCWs at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia, participated in this study. The level of antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain was analyzed at 1, 3, and 5 months following the second priming dose and at 1, 3, and 5 months after the booster dose. Results: We found a significantly higher level of antibody response in subjects receiving a booster dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine compared to those receiving an inactivated viral vaccine as a booster. Interestingly, participants with hypertension and a history of diabetes mellitus showed a lower antibody response following the booster dose. There was a higher frequency of adverse events following injection with the mRNA-1273 vaccine compared to the inactivated viral vaccine, although the overall adverse events were considered minor. Conclusions: A heterologous booster dose using mRNA vaccine resulted in a high antibody response; however, participants with hypertension and diabetes mellitus displayed a lower antibody response.</p

Hypertension is associated with antibody response and breakthrough infection in health care workers following vaccination with inactivated SARS-CoV-2
No full textSeveral types of vaccines have been developed to prevent the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It is important to understand whether demographic and clinical variables affect the effectiveness of various types of vaccines. This study analysed the association between demographic/clinical factors, antibody response and vaccine effectiveness in healthcare workers vaccinated with inactivated virus.We enrolled 101 healthcare workers who received two doses of inactivated viral vaccine (CoronaVac). Blood samples were analysed at 1, 3, and 5 months after the second dose of vaccination. Data regarding demographic characteristics, medical histories, and clinical parameters were collected by interview and medical examination. In a separate retrospective study, we analysed the incidence of vaccine breakthrough infection on 2714 healthcare workers who received two doses of inactivated viral vaccine. Medical histories and demographic data were collected using a structured self-reported questionnaire.We found that antibody titres markedly increased at 1 month after vaccination but gradually decreased at 3–5 months post-vaccination. We observed a significant association between age (≥40 years) and antibody level, whereas sex and body mass index (BMI) exhibited no effect on antibody titres. Amongst clinical variables analysed, high blood pressure and history of hypertension were significantly correlated with lower antibody titres. Consistently, we found a significant association in the retrospective study between hypertension and the incidence of breakthrough infection.In conclusion, our results showed that hypertension is associated with lower antibody titres and breakthrough infection following COVID-19 vaccination. Thus, blood pressure control might be important to improve the efficacy of inactivated virus vaccine
