Destination branding is the primary focus of this study, which examines Kampung Wisata Jambangan located in Surabaya, East Java. Kampung Jambangan is a traditional area recognized for its numerous achievements, including the Kalpataru Award (2008) and the Surabaya Tourism Awards (2023). The village possesses significant potential through its flagship programs, such as hydroponics, eco printing, eco enzymes, waste bank management, and river water management. However, both domestic and international tourists remain largely unaware of Kampung Jambangan's tourism potential. This research aims to address the low visibility of Kampung Jambangan as a tourist destination by implementing visual branding through the creation of a photography-based visual book that highlights the unique visual aspects of the village. The research employs a qualitative method with a visual ethnography approach. Visual ethnography is a research method that utilizes images and visual media as primary tools for collecting, analyzing, and presenting ethnographic data. In this context, visuals serve not only as illustrations but also as key elements that enhance the understanding and depiction of social interactions and cultural contexts. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and literature reviews. The outcome of this study is a photography-based visual book designed to strengthen the visual identity of Kampung Jambangan, with the intention of increasing its appeal to both domestic and international tourists.

Abstract Background Rubella is a common inherited infection resulting in congenital cataracts and a significant cause of permanent vision loss in developing countries. In 2016, Indonesia had the highest number of congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) cases globally. Here, we report the first genotype of the rubella virus extracted from the eye lens from a child with congenital cataracts due to CRS. Case presentation A female neonate was delivered by an elective caesarean delivery with normal birth weight at term from a 24-year-old mother in the rural setting. The baby presented with bilateral congenital cataracts, small-moderate secundum atrial septal defect, severe supravalvular pulmonary stenosis, and profound bilateral hearing loss. She also had microcephaly and splenomegaly. The patient's serology showed persistent positive IgG for rubella virus at the age of four years and four months. Following extraction during cataract surgery, viral detection of the lenses identified the presence of rubella. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the virus was grouped into genotype 1E. Conclusions Our study reports the first phylogenetic analysis of the rubella virus extracted from the eye lens of a child with CRS in Indonesia. The detection of the rubella virus from eye lenses is remarkably promising. Our findings also emphasize the importance of molecular epidemiology in tracking the origin of rubella infection toward achieving virus eradication.

The study outlined in this article aims to describe and explain the cognitive learning strategies used by foreign students in learning the Indonesian language. The research was designed as a qualitative study. The research participants are foreign students who were learning the Indonesian language in the BIPA program. The data sources of the research were students’ behaviors that indicated the cognitive strategies they adopted in learning the Indonesian language. Data were collected by interview and observation, and were analyzed by (1) identifying the data, (2) classifying and categorizing the data, (3) interpreting the data, and (4) drawing a conclusion. Findings of the research showed that in learning Indonesian language, BIPA students used various learning strategies. The cognitive learning strategies used by BIPA students in learning Indonesia ranged from applying their understanding of language structures and punctuations to strategies that drew on higher-level thinking processes. BIPA students selected and applied the learning strategies depending on the types of learning tasks they encountered. Apart from that, individual-factors and the learning environment were also influential in students’ selection of learning strategies.

Background: Indonesia is the second largest population of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) worldwide. Unfortunately, this condition has remained unchanged past decade. Education is essential for the formation of knowledge and perception, which is important, due to its impact on tuberculosis treatment implementation. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the association between patient's educational degree with knowledge and perception regarding pulmonary tuberculosis. Method: This was observational analytic study with cross-sectional design. The study was conducted on 51 patients in TB outpatient clinic from Siti Khodijah Hospital and two Primary Health Care in Sidoarjo. Using simple random sampling, a questionnaire was formed to obtain related information about the variables studied; including baseline characteristic (age, gender, education, occupation), patient's knowledge, and perception regarding pulmonary tuberculosis. Then parameter's of knowledge and perception were classified: good and low. Results: Using multivariate analysis of Wilcoxon test, there was a significant difference between each group of patient educational degree with knowledge regarding tuberculosis (p = 0.00) and perception regarding tuberculosis (p = 0.00). Conclusion: Different patient educational degree shows different knowledge and perception regarding Pulmonary TB. This result may indicate that the educational degree affected the patient to understand the disease. The collaborative approach needed to build proper patient's knowledge and perception. Lack of knowledge regarding TB, may due to a deficiency in Indonesian school curriculum content. These results will inform the development of relevant education, and information system, to enhance awareness about tuberculosis in society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
