Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted pathogen and is the main cause of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in Indonesia. One of the prevention measures used to tackle this disease is using HPV Vaccine. Previous studies have shown that HPV vaccine acceptance is influenced by lack of knowledge regarding the vaccine, high cost, and contradicting local beliefs and faiths. The aim of this study is to identify the factors influencing HPV vaccine acceptance in ASEAN countries. Three databases were searched for qualitative and quantitative studies published up to August 2023. Papers were included if they were in English or Indonesian, available in full text, and had a focus on knowledge, cost, beliefs, acceptance of the HPV vaccine. Among 23 studies, most mentioned factors regarding HPV vaccination acceptance are knowledge, cost, and beliefs. Despite being frequently discussed, knowledge doesn't always represent vaccine acceptance rate. There are no contradictions found regarding cost as a factor within those studies. Vaccination cost is the main factor that influences HPV vaccine acceptance. Though a common factor, knowledge may not always represent HPV vaccine acceptance. Other factors such as beliefs also contribute to HPV vaccine's acceptance in ASEAN countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses what are the impacts of environmental pollution due to electronic waste in the perspective of environmental law and discusses environmental criminal law regulations on pollution and management of electronic waste (E-Waste) in Indonesia. In Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning environmental protection and management and government regulation number 101 of 2014 concerning management of hazardous and toxic materials waste regulates how to carry out electronic waste management. However, until now every year Indonesia has experienced an increase related to electronic waste, this is caused by the development of the electronic technology industry which is very fast in releasing and offering the latest and more sophisticated electronic devices, this is one of the drivers for the increasing amount of electronic waste each year. This study uses normative research which uses data collection methods by means of a literature study regarding the research title. The results of this study are that the management of electronic waste in Indonesia is still far from perfect, besides that the regulation of electronic waste itself has not been specifically regulated in one regulation.

The research on herpetofauna to be used as traditional medicine are still few compared to research on medicinal plants, especially in Indonesia. This paper discusses the characteristics of traders and consumers of medicine that derived from herpetofauna and also examines the perceptions of traders and consumers on herpetofauna conservation and their use as medicine. To compare whether there are different perceptions between consumers in Jakarta and Bandung, the Chi square test was used; and to find out whether there are influence of education and age on respondents' perceptions, the Spearman test was used. The results showed that most traders were dominated by men of productive age with a relatively low level of education. The traders are mostly Moslem, and originated from Betawi and Sundanese. Most traders have been in the business for more than 20 years.The consumers are also dominated by men and fairly even between Moslems and non Moslems. Consumers are generally Chinese and most of them are aged 35-39. The level of education of consumers is higher than the traders. No significant differences were found regarding the perception of traders and consumers in the two cities. There is a significant positive correlation between education level and perceptions regarding animal use regulations and animal protection regulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diversity in the context of curriculum planning (students' social, cultural, political affiliation and economic, does not only have a direct influence to teachers' ability in carrying out the curriculum, but also school capacity to provide learning experience for the learners, as well as students' ability to achieve optimum results. In practice, however, curriculum planners often neglect this diversity. Teachers with their authorized capacity feel 'safe' to be non-active in which they are not supposed to accommodate those diversities. Neither they are to be involved in determining the philosophical views, theories, vision, documentary development, socialization and curriculum implementation, nor to work on standardized regulations that have been nationally and universally stated. This paper is aimed at sharing the information dealing with appropriate approach that has to be done to accommodate the diversity of social, cultural, political affiliation and economic with the standard national curriculum toward the accomplishment of new curriculum in Vocational Bina Nusantara Mandiri School Pariaman. Data were collected through field survey, observation, and interview with teachers as well as school community who contributed to curriculum development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper the writer discusses the function of students' self management in understanding Islamic learning and tries to relate it with general management function as a controlling system in learning. The indicators of students' self management function will be seen in the following learning process such as the ability to set the goal of learning, monitor and evaluate the learning activity, and provide self reinforcement. Furthermore, it will also discuss about the implementation of student's self management through some indicator; students, school and institution in applying learning management. Afterwards, it will also elaborate about to value, management and Islamic value and applying the student's self management in learning process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tithe or alms is an important source of revenue for the state to improve the economic condition of the poor. Management of the tithe collection as well as its effective distribution will help develop the community. Thus, this paper aims to study the Islamic administration of tithe in two states, namely Aceh in Indonesia and Kedah in Malaysia. Both states have their own relationship in a context where they both have a large number of Muslims, the majority of which are ethnic Malays, and they constitute one of the early regions to accept Islam. The focus of the study is based on historical analysis, economic growth and development, as well as the contemporary scenario in the administration of tithe law. The study will investigate the role of tithe as a fund for community development within the state, its management as well as the administration of the law. For this purpose, the study is conducted using qualitative methods and interviews with a number of respondents in order to examine the administrative aspects of Islamic law on tithe. The finding shows that the strict enforcement of law, accompanied by institutions organised with manpower and focused objectives, will have an impact on the tithe collections as well as the confidence of community towards the institutions.

Rain is one of the attenuation factors in very high frequency radio wave. Attenuation caused by rainfall gives a big impact in communication systems, especially wireless communication systems at millimeter-wave. This paper seeks to apply the fuzzy auto-regressive model (fuzzy AR) for rainfall in Indonesia. In this study, firstly the rainfall is measured, followed by getting the fuzzy variables for each event of rainfall measurements. Thirdly, the fuzzy variables based on the timing of the rain to get a fuzzy time series is set, and fourth step is the fuzzy time series modeling as a fuzzy AR(2) process. The fifth is estimating the matrix of model parameter, and the last step is simulating the generation of rainfall using fuzzy AR(2) model. The results obtained from the generation of simulated rainfall with Fuzzy AR(2) shows a good agreement with the actual measurement results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We cannot deny that our own language, a native language and one that is not foreign is important in having self-identity or essence. The symbol of a flag, of a marcha nacional, of a national anthem, of a national flower, of a national costume are all meaningful as signs of self-identity and independence. But these are just signs — a symbol. There is a need for making meaning for those who use the symbols. And more importantly, we value the meaning more than the symbol. The symbol is only a symbol — it's not significant if the ones using the symbols don't possess the sentiments. And the signs can be replaced; they can be renewed if needed. In this paper, the case of our neighboring countries in South-East Asia such as Indonesia and Singapore are compared for the case of the Philippines, because these two countries give us a different picture in revisiting the language as an important part of the formation of our identity.
