Abstract

Sexual pleasure related to Intrauterine Device (IUD) can be disturbed during intercourse. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between IUD contraception and sexual pleasure in couples of reproductive age (PUS) at Kusuma Pertiwi Clinic. The research design used in this study is an Analytical Correlational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used is Simple Random Sampling. The population consisted of 42 people and the sample comprised 38 people. The independent variable is the IUD contraceptive, and the dependent variable is sexual satisfaction. The statistical test used is Spearman-Rho with a significance value of < 0.05. The research results regarding IUD contraception showed that almost all couples of reproductive age (PUS) felt comfortable after having the IUD inserted, totaling 31 people (81.6%) out of 38 people. Research on sexual satisfaction shows that most couples of reproductive age (CRA) after having an IUD inserted reported sexual satisfaction at a very satisfying level, with 26 people (68.4%) out of 38. Based on the analysis of the relationship using Spearman's Rho, the result obtained a p-value of 0.000 < α = 0.05, which means Ho is rejected, with a correlation coefficient of 0.817, indicating a very strong relationship. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between IUD contraception and sexual pleasure in couples of reproductive age, making IUD users very comfortable during sexual activity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the socio-economic factors that influence the empowerment of forest communities in Pacitan Regency, East Java. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method of 350 respondents from five sub-districts (Donorojo, Pringkuku, Punung, Bandar, and Nawangan) selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to test the influence of nine independent variables (education level, income level, area of ​​cultivated land, access to capital, business experience, number of dependents, age, access to information and technology, and social and institutional capital) on the empowerment of forest communities. The results showed that simultaneously all variables had a significant effect on the empowerment of forest communities (F = 78.452; p < 0.05) with an R² value of 0.675, which means 67.5% of the variation in empowerment can be explained by the model. Partially, eight variables had a significant effect: education level, income level, area of ​​cultivated land, access to capital, business experience, number of dependents (negative effect), access to information and technology, and social and institutional capital. Only age was not significantly affected. The variables with the strongest partial correlations were access to information and technology (r=0.624) and social and institutional capital (r=0.618). This study recommends the need for comprehensive empowerment policies that include increased access to education, capital, technology, and strengthening LMDH institutions to sustainably improve the welfare of forest communities.

Abstract

The transformation of local food systems has become an important issue in supporting sustainable agricultural development and strengthening the economy of indigenous communities in Highland Papua. This study aims to analyze the transformation of local food and its impact on the agricultural economy of indigenous communities in Lanny Jaya Regency, Highland Papua, Indonesia. The research used a qualitative and quantitative descriptive approach through field observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The respondents consisted of indigenous farmers, traditional leaders, women farmers, and local government representatives selected through purposive sampling. The study found that local food commodities such as sweet potatoes, taro, bananas, and local vegetables remain the primary food sources of indigenous communities, but modernization, market expansion, and changing consumption patterns have influenced traditional food systems. The transformation of local food has contributed positively to household income, market accessibility, and agricultural productivity. However, challenges remain, including limited infrastructure, low technological adoption, and decreasing interest among younger generations in traditional farming practices. Strengthening local food policies, agricultural extension services, and community-based agribusiness development are necessary to maintain food sovereignty and improve the welfare of indigenous communities in Lanny Jaya.

Abstract

The Indonesian government identifies food self-sufficiency as a fundamental pillar of national sovereignty, yet a persistent socio-economic gap exists between national production targets and the actual prosperity of farming households. This study aims to evaluate the strategic implementation of national food security programs and their efficacy in elevating farmer welfare. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach centered on a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, the research utilizes data collected from 2020 to 2025 across four primary rice-producing provinces, including East Java, Central Java, West Java, and South Kalimantan. Informants were selected via purposive sampling to ensure validity from both administrative and field perspectives. The findings reveal that the current strategy occupies an aggressive growth position (Quadrant I), driven by significant fiscal policies such as the mandatory 20% Village Fund allocation for food security. However, structural inefficiencies, including fragmented distribution chains and a critical dependency on subsidized chemical inputs, remain significant impediments. The study concludes that a paradigm shift from production-centric security to a welfare-oriented protection model is mandatory for sustainable development. This requires transforming traditional farmer groups into independent corporate entities to shorten market chains and increase bargaining power.

Abstract

The structure of the food market in recent decades has had a significant impact on the agricultural sector. Meanwhile, Traditional markets play an important action in the food distribution system in Indonesia, including in Malang Regency. This study aims to examine the influence of the vegetable market structure on agricultural sustainability and to analyze how changes in market structure affect the sustainability of agricultural practices. This research used a quantitative method. The quantitative data analysis in this study was conducted using multiple linear regression, supported by several statistical tests to ensure the robustness of the results. This research was conducted at Landungsari Market, Dau District, Malang Regency, during the period from January to March 2025. This research indicated that the vegetable market structure significantly influences agricultural sustainability in Dau District, Malang Regency. A calculated t-value exceeding the t-table value, combined with a probability of less than 0.05, indicates that changes in market structure, particularly those resulting from competition between local and incoming traders have a tangible impact on farmers' income. These changes affect not only the level of competition and industry efficiency but also the sustainability of farming practices, especially as vegetable production volumes rise. Thus, the study confirms that market structure dynamics are a dominant factor influencing the sustainability of the agricultural system in the region. Local governments need to pay attention to the competitive dynamics between local and migrant traders, as changes in market structure have been shown to affect farmers' incomes, and the sustainability of agricultural practices.

Abstract

This research was designed to evaluate the impact of integrated onion cultivation technology combined with local legume ground cover crops on soil fertility and crop stability in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia. Conducted in highland areas at altitudes of 700–1,200 meters above sea level, the study benefited from a cool climate that supports agricultural activities. Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.), one of Indonesia’s leading commodities, were the focus due to their economic importance and widespread cultivation by farmers. The methodology employed soil testing to assess fertility, emphasizing chemical properties such as soil organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, cation exchange capacity, and magnesium. The findings revealed that integrated cultivation practices enhanced soil organic matter, improved water use efficiency, and stabilized shallot productivity. However, the study also highlighted challenges, particularly unbalanced fertilization and declining soil organic matter, which negatively affect soil fertility and agricultural productivity. These issues underscore the importance of nutrient supplementation through appropriate fertilization to sustain yields. By evaluating soil fertility status, the research provides practical insights for farmers in managing agricultural land more effectively. It emphasizes the necessity of adopting modern agricultural technologies and sustainable practices to preserve natural resources while boosting productivity. Overall, the study contributes valuable knowledge to the agricultural sector, reinforcing the role of soil fertility management in ensuring long-term food security and supporting Indonesia’s agrarian economy. The results are expected to guide farmers in East Nusa Tenggara toward improved practices that enhance shallot yields and maintain environmental sustainability

Abstract

Coral reefs are one of the biota in the sea. Coral reefs are actually shaped like flowers in the sea but have a hard texture like rocks. Coral reefs need a process of decades to form, this causes coral reefs to become rare, especially with the damage to the marine ecosystem. Coral reefs have many types and not many people know the types of coral reefs. So that many ordinary people think that all coral reefs are the same and no one knows that coral reefs have their own names. The purpose of this study is to classify the types of coral reefs so that it is easier to know the types of coral reefs. To implement the classification of coral reef types, this research uses the extraction of GLCM features and the artificial neural network (JST) method, namely the Neural Network (NN). In this study, coral reef images are used as training data and test data. With this research, it is hoped that it will make it easier to know the types of coral reefs and it is expected to have a fairly high level of accuracy
