Modeling of Malaria Prevalence in Indonesia with Geographically Weighted Regression

Malaria is a public health problem that can lead to death, especially in high-risk groups i.e. infants, toddlers and pregnant women. This disease is still endemic in most parts of Indonesia. The relation of location factor between regions with the surrounding region was assumed to give the effect of spatial variability in the prevalence of malaria in the region. It would lead to the prevalence of malaria modeling using classical regression methods become less precise due to the assumption of homogeneity of variance was not met. It could be overcome by Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) modeling. In GWR analysis, the selection weighting function was one determinant of the analysis results. GWR analysis resulted on the prevalence of malaria in Indonesia, GWR model with bisquare kernel weighting function had a better value of R2 and AIC than GWR models with gaussian kernel weighting function

Stakeholder Opinions of The Students' Abilities During the Research Internship Program

Recently, there has been a gap between the skills needed by industry and learning materials in schools that still need to meet expectations. Research internship programs (RIP) viewing as a link that can eliminate these disparities. However, there is no conclusive proof of the learning results of the program. This study seeks to dig deeper into information based on a stakeholder's point of view on the quality of skills demonstrated by students in research internship programs. This research is qualitative. The case study method approach analyzes phenomena in the workplace according to assessment reporting in terms of stakeholder perceptions. Research informants consist of primary, supporting, and critical stakeholders. This paper uses triangulation techniques to reduce data, present data, and draw conclusions. The results of this study indicate that students' readiness and skills affect hard-skill performance but do not significantly affect the results of the research conducted. Stakeholder perception states that schools need more time to be ready to implement research internships based on Ministerial Decree Number 123/M/KPT/2019
