Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries that has been relatively successful in completing a fertility transition. However, provincial differences in fertility still exist, with East Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Timur – NTT) having the highest Total Fertility Rate in 2017 (TFR, 3.4 births per woman). By employing a document analysis method, this study explores the indirect and direct determinants of the stalled fertility decline in NTT. It is revealed that all indirect determinants of fertility –culture, socioeconomics, and governance– have shaped women's persistent fertility behaviour in NTT. Meanwhile, among three direct determinants of fertility –marriage, contraception, and postpartum infecundability–, contraception is the only determinant that has been responsible for the stall of fertility transition in this province. These findings suggest that to foster the fertility decline in NTT, the government plays an essential role in boosting the provision of contraception, information and education, and providing incentives for having fewer children.

Abstract

Over the past decades, the roles of the ocean have become more crucial. Apart from its increasingly environmental roles, the ocean has been a new global economic frontier. This makes international communities have introduced blue economy, as a new paradigm that integrates the principles of social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and economic growth, to steward the ocean. Nonetheless, the ocean is also threatened by the practices of blue grabbing. This paper aims to investigate to what extend the practices of blue grabbing form a barrier to the application of blue economy in Indonesia. Moreover, this paper aims to discuss the policy implication of this issue. It is revealed that in the case of Indonesia, blue economy has preceded to a better design of policies in governing the ocean. Yet, a threat in the form of blue grabbing, which is mostly disguised by the narratives of providing incentives for investment and recovering the environmental destruction, still exists in this country. Policy implications of this issue, therefore, include engaging more small actors into policy-making processes, preparing job transition for those impacted by marine and coastal development plans, and mainstreaming population policy into the blue economy.

This makes the characteristics of clinical teachers need to be effective to facilitate nursing students in clinical settings.Purpose: to compare the perception of nursing students and clinical teachers of the characteristics of clinical teachers at the Institute of Health Sciences of Citra Husada Mandiri Kupang, Indonesia.Methods: a cross-sectional design. Data was collected from third and fourth-year undergraduate nursing students (n= 201) and clinical teachers (n= 13). Two statistical tools were used to analyze and interpret the data: Weighted Mean and T-test.Results: there was a statistical difference in the perception of nursing students and clinical teachers of the characteristics of clinical teachers in three subsets - professional competence, relationship with students, and personal attributes.Conclusion: a gap in perceptions regarding the characteristics of the clinical teachers exists between both groups of participants. It is essential for the Institute to bridge the gap or to ensure that the students perceive their clinical teachers better.
