Functional and Emotional Features Studies on Traditional Indonesian Instant Food Packaging

Food technology and packaging create opportunities for Indonesian SMEs to sell traditional dishes for instant cooking. Such products require a fitting packaging design. The purpose of this study was to find out verbal and visual design elements that have functional and emotional appeal that are suitable for the packaging of instant traditional Indonesian food. This study used a combined qualitative and quantitative method, measuring the respondents' opinions using a 5-point Likert scale. According to the results, the packaging of instant traditional Indonesian food brands is mostly functional but not unique. To make the appearance of the products stand out more and have more emotional appeal, three things can be applied to the packaging design: firstly, unusual colors and shapes to create a unique impression; secondly, a conventional image rather than a modern image; and thirdly, visual and verbal icons referring to the origin of the traditional dish that are still popular to create a familiar image

Pendampingan Perancangan Desain Konten Instagram Produk Lokal Minyak Atsiri Laloka

Since Covid-19 impacted YSLH, one of the foundations engaged in the environment, income derived from training services and donations from well-wishers was greatly reduced. Luckily, with the Laloka Essential Oil (EO), income has potential to increase. The great advantage of Laloka EO is that it is affordable, seeing as this product uses raw Indonesian materials; another one of the advantages is the specialty of custom mixing essential oils with the skills of one of the YSLH’s volunteers who has previous pharmaceutical expertise. The needs of Laloka EO consist of online promotional media, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, a team of lecturers and students from the Visual Communication Design of Maranatha University has helped Laloka EO volunteers, such as making some concept designs for Laloka EO’s Instagram content. This assistance is carried out online for three months. As a result of this assistance, Laloka EO is now accompanied with a design promoting concept in the social media, Instagram; but in terms of Instagram management, further efforts are needed. Currently, the problem is Laloka EO’s inability in accommodating permanent volunteers to manage its Instagram page on a routine schedule, resulting in irregular issued content designs

Regulasi Emosi Untuk Peningkatan Perilaku Prososial Pada Remaja di Wahana Visi Indonesia Kota Surabaya

Memasuki masa remaja, kondisi emosi seorang remaja cenderung mengalami kondisi “Storm and Stress” dimana seorang remaja mulai mengalami gejolak emosi yang kurang mampu dikendalikan. Kondisi ini dapat menjadi salah satu pemicu konflik yang terjadi dalam kepanitiaan di kelompok Forum Anak di Wahana Visi Indonesia yang berlokasi kota Surabaya. Para anggota forum menjadi lebih peka jika terjadi perbedaan pendapat dan kepekaan tersebut menghasilkan konflik dalam lingkungan sosial, baik di dalam organisasi, keluarga maupun sekolah. Oleh karena itu, membuat para remaja ini sulit untuk menampilkan dan berperilaku prososial dengan teman-teman didalam lingkungannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan kualitatif untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan serta mengukur keberhasilan pelatihan yang diberikan. Rancangan pelatihan disusun berdasarkan hasil survei kepada remaja dengan rentang usia 13-18 tahun sejumlah 20 orang. Pelatihan dilakukan selama 2 hari dengan total partisipan 10 orang yang menghadiri seluruh kegiatan pelatihan. Berdasarkan hasil analisa statistik diketahui bahwa hasil p > 0,05. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa melalui pendataan kuesioner bahwa tidak ada perubahan yang signifikan terkait kemampuan para partisipan dalam menampilkan perilaku prososial di kehidupan sehari-hari. Kondisi tersebut dapat disebabkan oleh jangka waktu pengambilan data follow-up, dimana konflik belum terjadi dan tidak ada situasi yang mendukung untuk memunculkan perilaku prososial

REGULASI EMOSI UNTUK PENINGKATAN PERILAKU PROSOSIAL PADA REMAJA DI WAHANA VISI INDONESIA KOTA SURABAYA

Transitioning into adolescence, teenagers have the tendancy to be in “Storm and Stress” condition, where they will start to grow emotional turmoil and not be able to control their emotion. This condition might be one of the conflict triggers in Forum Anak Wahana Visi Indonesia club committee in Surabaya. The forum members became more sensitive of any dissents and it created some conflicts in the social environment, not only in the organization, but also in family and school. Thus, it is difficult for teenagers to be prosocial with others. This research used the qualitative and quantitative methods to identify the problem and for measuring the success of the training. The plan of the training was arranged based on the result of a survey that was given to 20 teenagers with 13-18 year old age range. The training was performed 2 days with 10 participants who managed to do all the training activities. According to the statistical analysis, the result showed that p > 0,05. It means that the questionnaire data collection showed no significant change related to the participants' ability in showing the prosocial behavior in daily life. This result was caused by the time range of the data collection, where the conflicts had not happened and there was no supportive situation that might trigger the prosocial behavior

Kajian Emotional Branding dan Budaya Etnik Sunda pada Restoran Tradisional Sunda (Studi Kasus: Restoran Sindang Reret dan Restoran Bumbu Desa)

Emotional Branding is an incorporated four strategic key factors, such as relationship, sensory experience, imagination, and vision. These four key factors create a "dialogue" among one brand and its consumer which fulfill their needs as well as their desires. This research aim for a determination of the branding strategies used in two Sundanese restaurants. The analysis focused on the corporate identities from two Sundanese restaurants as well as their tangible and intangible identities that regarded to the Sundanese culture. Data were collected through several observations, evaluations, and interview completed through a Focus Group Discussion. Afterward, the data were compiled and analyzed through the theory of Emotional Branding and the study of Sundanese culture. Therefore, this research is considered as a Qualitative Descriptive Analysis research. The findings of this research show that the a corporate identities of these two restaurants has been using the Sundanese ethnic culture for a while till today. A local ethnic culture considered as one of the trends in the branding design which involve several parties (especially designers) to process the design components in such a way that the local ethnic culture is not turned into a merely "cosmetic" of brand identity. Through Emotional Branding, someone could make Sundanese's culinary as a lifestyle by promoting the authenticity of its tradition supported by the four factors that exist in Emotional Branding

The Development of Bovine Fetal Ovary and Its Relationship with Reproductive Disease

The development of fetal ovary is a complex process involving the communication between primordial germ cells (PGCs), Gonadal Ridge Epithelial-Like (GREL) cells and stroma. Many studies in ovarian development have focused on follicles, making other features, such as stroma and ovarian surface the least studied. Additionally, perturbation of ovarian development has been suggested to lead to many reproductive diseases, such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian cancer. Studies have shown that prenatally androgenised female mammals had ovaries with PCOS features, such as small follicles and increased ovarian stromal volume. Similarly, ovarian cancer has been suggested to be able to arise from non-ovarian tissue, such as fallopian tubes and endometrium. This thesis discussed the changes of ovarian stroma (chapter II) and linked the changes to PCOS (chapter III). Furthermore, this thesis quantitated changes of non-stromal areas containing GREL cells and follicles (chapter IV) as well as identified the changes in ovarian surface during fetal development (chapter V). Early in ovarian development, the surface epithelium of the mesonephros differentiates into GREL cells and proliferates, forming the ovarian primordium into which PGCs migrate. The stroma from the mesonephros penetrates the developing ovary and then branches. At this time, a true surface epithelium is located only at the base of the developing ovary. When the stroma reaches just underneath the surface of the developing ovary, it spreads laterally. The branching and spreading of the stroma encloses some GREL cells and PGCs into ovigerous cords. At this point, the ovigerous cords are still open to the ovarian surface. The stroma keeps on spreading, dividing the ovigerous cords into smaller units and eventually into primordial follicles. GREL cells located on the ovarian surface then start to differentiate into surface epithelium. At the last stage of development, a single layer of surface epithelium is formed and the stroma underneath the surface epithelium changes its phenotype into tunica albuginea, a collagen rich layer. In this thesis, I analysed the stromal and non-stromal areas morphometrically and linked ovarian development with expression of a number of extracellular matrix genes. My results show that the volume of the ovarian cortex and medulla increased throughout gestation. The stromal proportion and total volume in the cortex were significantly increased (p>0.05), whereas the proliferation index and numerical density of proliferating cells in the stroma decreased significantly (p>0.05). There was no change in numerical density of stromal cells in the cortex. Twelve extracellular matrix genes were highly expressed later in the development and positively correlated with each other and with gestational age. The total volume of non-stromal areas in the ovarian cortex significantly increased and then levelled off. The proportion of non-stromal areas in the cortex decreased significantly. The proliferation index of the non-stromal area peaked in early gestation and then decreased significantly and then remained low. The numerical density of the stromal area remained constant throughout ovarian development. My morphometric data of the stromal area as well as the gene expression have been published in Reproduction Fertility and Development. The data of the non-stromal area have been combined with other data and published in PLoS ONE. Since many reproductive diseases might have a fetal origin, we studied the linkage between fetal ovarian development and PCOS. Recent studies have recognised 18 PCOS candidate genes identified by genome wide associated study (GWAS) analyses. Using qRTPCR, I analysed the expression of these genes, as well as three other genes (androgen receptor (AR), Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 induced transcript 1 (TGFB1I1), fibrillin3 (FBN3)) in the bovine fetal ovaries across gestation. To assess the regulation of these genes in the bovine fetal ovary, I analysed the expression of these genes in bovine fetal fibroblasts which had been treated with cAMP regulators, growth factors and hormones in vitro (24 treatments in total) during a previous honour project. FBN3, GATA4, HMGA2, TOX3, DENND1A and LHCGR were highly expressed in the early development, whereas INSR, FSHR and LHCGR, including 3 PCOS-related genes (AMH, AR and TGFB1I1) were highly expressed in the late development. These eleven genes were strongly correlated to each other, although some of them expressed in different cell types. Treatment of fetal stromal cells with TGFβ induced the expression of INSR, AR, C8H9orf3 and RAD50 and inhibited expression of TGFB1I1. The data have been submitted to Scientific Reports. In the attempt of investigating the changes of ovarian surface, I analysed Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images and compared them with immunohistochemistry images, as well as determined the proportions of different types of cells in the ovarian surface epithelium. Early in development, the cells at the base of the developing ovary were cuboidal whereas the remaining surface appeared more irregular. Around 10 weeks of gestation until 5 months of gestation, the surface was covered by a stratified or simple epithelium of cuboidal cells. During mid-gestation clefts could be observed on the surface coinciding below with open ovigerous cords. Later in development, most of the ovary was covered by a simple surface epithelium. There appear to be two origins of ovarian surface epithelium – at the base/hilum originating from the mesonephros and on the remainder from the GREL cells.. The data have been submitted to Journal of Histology and Cytochemistry. Together, this work has shown the behavioural and structural changes of stroma and ovarian surface during fetal development. Since some of the PCOS candidate genes are expressed during fetal ovarian development, any potential disruption during ovarian development might have implications for the development of PCOS phenotype in the adult life.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, Adelaide Medical school, 201
