Economic Insecurity and Stress as Determinants Of COVID-19 Preventive Behaviour In Denpasar + (The COVID-19 pandemic has constituted … The COVID-19 pandemic has constituted concurrent public health and economic crises. An inter-correlation between economic and public health impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic needs to be studied to improve mitigation measures. This study identified a correlation of the economic insecurity and perceived stress with adherence to recommended preventive behaviours. This across-sectional analytic study was conducted to adults in the working areas of East Denpasar Primary Healthcare Center I. Respondents were selected using consecutive sampling and given a self-administered questionnaire. The research variables included demographic characteristics, economic insecurity indicators, perceived stress, and adherence to handwashing, mask-wearing, physical distancing, and limitation on the social gathering. Correlations, linear regressions, and path analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS 23.0. As many as 161 respondents of which 34.2% males were involved had a mean age of 36.31 (± 7.16) years. Sex, job insecurity, income insecurity, and perceived stress were found as independent determinants in females. Female sex and job insecurity was associated with better preventive behaviours with an adjusted β value of 0.276 and 0.306, while income insecurity and perceived stress had the opposite association with a β value of -0.247 and -0.224. There are correlations between economic insecurity and preventive behavioural practices during COVID-19. It is suggested that public health policies against COVID-19 cover measures of economic safety nets to improve adherence economic safety nets to improve adherence)

As the name suggests, Kepet Agung means a big and authoritative fan. Kepet Agung has a philosophy of giving "coolness", in Balinese it is called "ngetisin" (cooling). So, the government should carry out its obligations coolly, guarding the country so that it always gives good directions, which puts the people first.

Moreover, there was a G-20 world celebration in Bali. With social media being so widespread below, the public knows that there will be a meeting of world leaders in Bali. What impact will it have on the people of Bali? There must be a lot. This is what the community needs to feel, with government assistance, especially the tourism industry.The promise that hotel management will use Balinese wine as a “welcome drink” for guests, is an example that should be respected.through this, I hope to continue to make more concrete interventions for any investors who are doing business in Bali. Hotel management, for example, should really take advantage of vegetables, meat, eggs, spices, fruits, and various agricultural products from Balinese farmers. Including the production of Balinese crafts for the benefit of tourists.If this is done in a more concrete way, I am sure that the people of Bali, especially farmers, fishermen and artisans, will give a high appreciation. They really experience firsthand what it takes to develop Bali from the tourism sector.In fact, indeed Bali has not been able to meet its own needs. Many things are still imported from Java or Lombok. It doesn't matter, but we must first take advantage of what is in Bali. The only drawback is that they are only being sought from outside Bali.On the other hand, farmers, artisans and fishermen also need attention, so that they are able to produce according to the quality needed by the world of tourism. They need real assistance, not only with instructions and hopes.I hope, we build Bali together. Do not build in Bali but the profits are rushed outside Bali, and the people of Bali are left always concernede people of Bali are left always concerned)

But we as a people on this island can't say anything more. For the public should follow the directions of the government, such as vaccinating, using masks every day when meeting with others, paying attention and implementing a healthy lifestyle and other things. Actually from my personal side does not want to be so opinion more but we ourselves who should be aware of what is being faced at this time. The first thing is certainly from yourself who must carry out, secondly there is a family that is closest to ourselves and then start doing this healthy lifestyle to the surrounding community. If all parties have done so, believe me all will be healthy and free from this plague. But this pandemic teaches us to be more grateful to be aware of the circumstances that occur and what will happen. Let us together take care of ourselves first to be healthy, if we have done so believe me all will definitely come back over time.e all will definitely come back over time.)
Paplajahan sané Kajahin antuk Bali ring Déwék Tiang olih Lael Kim + (The island of Bali is just like Database. … The island of Bali is just like Database. Because Bali contains every beautiful thing in the world. There are beautiful beaches, forests full of tall trees, cute-looking animals, massive rice fields, detailed carved statues, traditional houses with deep meanings, and beautiful people worldwide.But what does that teach me?Pablo Picasso said “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” I think that Bali can have an essential role in keeping children artistic until they grow up. The quality living environment of Bali can give inspiration to kids to get creative and artistic.I am from South Korea where there are so many skyscrapers. Looking at the same views and going to the same place daily make people so cold and dry. Everyone was just focused on their job to study and work. People could not think about the artisticparts of themselves. But living in Bali is very different. If you walk out the door, you can see the blue sky with puffy clouds. If you walk a little further, you can see giant trees that are older than our parents. If you walk a bit more you can easily go to the beach where there is the emerald-colored ocean that is home to so many fishes and corals. Ifyou drive a car a bit, you can see the gigantic sized mountain with the lake with people enjoying fishing. If you ride a bike downhill, you can see the rice field that contains the passion of farmers. Those common but beautiful things in Bali make people very amazed, and happy, and also stimulate their sense of the arts. Looking at the big open space such as lakes, and oceans can help you get creative and think big. And since there are so many people from so many different cultures, I could have experience with different cultures and it helped me understand each other better. Understanding each other can even make people think more open mined and internationally minded.So I think that the lesson that Bali taught me is that “It is important to have experience with a diverse environment”.After realizing that small but impactful lesson, I slowly discovered art pieces inside me and develop them. Now I write poems, make music and take beautiful pictures to express myself in artistic ways. Eventually, Bali made me think very openly andinternationally minded which could further be a sign of getting creative and artistic.And I am pretty sure that Bali helped me to develop the ideas into big ideas even from small and common things.Thank you for reading.and common things.

Paplajahan sané Kajahin antuk Bali ring Déwék Tiang + (The lonely philosopher was, in accordance … The lonely philosopher was, in accordance with his name, a lonely person. He was the last of the philosophers guild, an order that had disintegrated long ago. He, along with the other members of the guild had been concerned with adding to and revising the six tomes of philosophical knowledge. Aesthetics, Metaphysics, Logic, Political Philosophy, Epistemology, and Ethics. The lonely philosopher had been assigned to the department of Ethics and working there, he had spent the thirty most happy and busy years of his life, traveling the world and learning constantly alongside his colleagues. But those years had long since passed, and the guild had long since dissipated.The reasons for this breakdown were very unclear. Some said it was because there had been too many members, others said there had been too few. Some said it was because they had learned all there was to learn, others said there was too much to learn, why bother trying. One of his closest friends in the guild had famously claimed that it was on account of a shortage of ink that prevented anyone from writing any more into the big books that filled the guilds private library. Most worrying of all was the claim that philosophy just simply wasn’t needed anymore. People no longer appreciated beauty and art. People no longer entertained themselves by questioning reality and other impossible concepts. People no longer applied or considered logic in their thinking. Governments were corrupt and no longer interested in the welfare of the people whom they governed. People no longer strived for or valued knowledge. Worst of all, people didn’t feel the need to be good or beneficial to their societies. That they no longer cared about their effects on other people, good or bad.The lonely philosopher was generally a strong minded person, but years of hearing this from most people he talked to wore him down. Eventually, he himself began to believe it, and it ruined him. A broken man, he took to traveling the world, searching for one sign of worth to redeem himself and his views on humanity. He swept through entire cities in the back of a taxi and saw nothing. He saw nothing, he believed there was nothing, and eventually, he felt nothing. In this state, shallow and numb, he arrived in Bali Indonesia, with no real purpose and no real destination in mind.One hot afternoon, he sat under the shade of a brilliantly blooming frangipani tree. He paid no attention to the brilliant blossoms, his eyes unseeingly gazing towards the busy road and beyond it, a sprawling rice paddy full of tiny green sprouts.Suddenly, a motorbike came screaming around a bend in the street and swerved to avoid a young woman who was only just mounting her own motorbike on the side of the street. It barely missed her. She, startled, fell backwards into the rice paddy and her bike fell in after her. She flailed to push the vehicle off her as the man on the fast motorbike turned to face her and yelled a string of obscenities which only the philosopher, who was skilled in linguistics, seemed to understand. Something along the lines of “How dare you get in my way! And how rude of you to be standing in the middle of the street! It serves you right to fall into the ditch, where you belong.” The woman evidently did not hear, as mud and water had covered her ears and face, along with the rest of her. The man on the bike roared away, still cursing loudly. The philosopherlooked after him with hatred in his eyes. Filthy human, he thought. Then he looked back towards the woman who had fallen.Several other people had jumped into the rice field as well and had pulled her bike off of her. A lady from a shop nearby came running with a wet towel to clean the mud off her face. The owner of the rice paddy came running through the field on bare feet, where he asked the woman who had fallen if he could help her. She said no and apologized profusely for ruining his new crops. The owner laughed good naturedly and proclaimed loudly that what could have happened would have been a lot worse than a few crushed grains of rice. The woman was helped out of the ditch to find that her bike had been recovered and hosed off to remove any dirt. She climbed on, thanked everyone who had helped her, fastened her helmet, and left.As he watched her receding down the street, the philosopher regained a shadow of a spark in his eye that had been missing for a long time. That woman may now be soaking wet, muddy, and have a few bruises, but she was safe and alive and grateful to all the people that had helped her. Was this kindness that those people had shown to her? The philosopher rose from his spot under the tree and walked away, his hands in his pockets, and a smile on his face for the first time in years.This first taste of good was intoxicating and it gripped him with more questions then he’d had in years. He began to notice things again. The vibrant color of the tropical flowers, the milky scent of coconut. He begins to look for kindness again, only this time, not speeding through cities in the backs of taxis. He simply noticed. And it didn’t matter where he noticed it either. On the slopes of Mount Agung, a man jumped and caught a woman's hat that had carried off on the breeze, then ran several meters uphill to return it to her. In a schoolyard, a child halved her sandwich to share among her friends. A surfer helped a swimmer to shore who had been caught in a current, a man fished plastic out of the river where everyone fished for food, a young girl secretly fed a piece of chicken to a hungry looking dog while her mother was looking the other way. Kindness was everywhere! Slowly, the philosopher started to realize that good had not simply disappeared, he had stopped looking for it, stopped noticing it.For the first time in years, he opened his dusty copy of the tome of ethics and made a little notation on page 4,556. Above “There is always good in the world if you look for it” he added “Or even just notice it”. His list of questions grew as well, and he strove to answer each and every single one of them. He found a question that he himself had asked long ago, when he was first starting to doubt himself. Is there truly goodness in the world? If so, how can it be found? He finally had the answer. Next to it, he wrote, goodness and kindness can be found in the smallest of people, in the smallest of interactions, on the smallest of islands, in the largest of countries. To find it, you don’t necessarily have to look hard, just sit for a while and think and you will start to notice it.The end.and you will start to notice it. The end.)

The life of Jayapura people is identical with the frequent riots. It looks different from the life of the Balinese diaspora around the temple Surya Bhuvana which marked by inter-religious harmony. The study focused on two issues: Why do non-Hindus in Jayapura often visit the Pura Agung Surya Bhuvana? How do they understand the temple Surya Bhuvana in this global era? This is a qualitative research and data were collected through observation, interview, FGD, and document study techniques. Data were analyzed with religious theory, symbol theory, and structural-functional theory. The results showed that the hospitality of the Balinese diaspora who manages the temple makes non-Hindus community feel welcome to visit the temple. The Balinese diaspora community in Jayapura interpreted Pura Agung Surya Bhuvana as a place of worship, a meeting place for people of different faiths, a place of art, a place to strengthen multi-cultural life and as a medium to strengthen national integration.medium to strengthen national integration.)

Puikin Pelih, Luungan Ojog Pepes Dadiang Tongos Maguna + (Through the Wikithon Public Participation- … Through the Wikithon Public Participation-Bale Banjar contest, I, Ni Kadek Sintia Dewi, am ready to build the spirit of the Balinese people, especially women, so that they can use the bale banjar as a creative space to create, spread, and maintain good ideas. Here are creative ideas that I can give according to the interview in this video:All villages in Bali have several places fit according to their functions. One of the common places in the village is the bale banjars. A bale banjar is usually used as a place for villagers, especially for neighbors to meet, gather, and do different things. Bale banjar is also usually used as a place to carry out large-scale activities because the place is usually wide.Talking about what can be used from the bale banjar, as I know the bale banjar is usually used as a place to learn to play Balinese musical instruments, to learn how to dance, to conduct competitions, to cook, to make ogoh-ogoh whenever Pangrupukan day approaches, to hold Posyandu (regular healthcare program for mothers and newborns), and so on. However, of all of these activities, not all go on regularly. Some are only done on certain days. On other occassions, the bale banjar looks empty and the fence is tightly closed.For the bale banjar to be used optimally by residents, especially by women, there are innovations that can be done. For example, young women can meet every Sunday afternoon to write short stories or poetry in the bale banjar. They can write on their gadgets instead of on papers, following the modern era as it is today. This will enable them to gather and get to know each other and can also develop the potential of the younger generation to write in order to pour out their feelings (emotions) or share their everyday stories to other people. After collecting several works, these can be compiled as an anthology. And if possible, the anthology book can be distributed to schools in the village as a media for student literacy.Mothers can take advantage of the banjar bale as a place for monthly social gatherings. There they can meet with other mothers. By doing so, they can reduce their home boredom and they can go for recreation or entertainment in the bale banjar. At the social gathering, there is “jimpitan” money (shared money) that can be used as cash for other useful things with shared benefits.Let's use the bale banjar as a place to spread creativity together! as a place to spread creativity together!)

The King, the Mask and the Dance.Topeng Dalem represents the King, Dalem Waturenggon, associated with the Golden Age of Balinese Kingdom of Gelgel during the 16th century. He is known within this narrative as loving, benevolent and wise. A compassionate King. That is why, according to Kadek Sudiasa, in order to carve and capture the essence of Topeng Dalem is difficult. To capture the calm and gentleness of this King, with what he describes as having a particular softness around the eyes. It is this very subtlety within his character that makes it difficult to capture. He lacks the obvious characteristics that are embodied in Topeng Keras or Topeng Tua.For Full article https://sawidji.com/2023/07/19/topeng-dalem-the-truth-of-a-king/23/07/19/topeng-dalem-the-truth-of-a-king/)

Tutur Kumara Tattwa + (Tutur Kumara Tattwa is an ancient Javanese … Tutur Kumara Tattwa is an ancient Javanese text that tells about the birth of Bhatara Kumara, a god who always takes the form of a child. Bhatara Kumara (or Sang Hyang Kemara) is believed by Balinese as a guardian deity for children.It is told in this lontar that Bhatara Siwa has a child named Bhatara Kala. Because Bhatara Kala likes to prey on humans, he is given the right to eat children born in Wuku Wayang (the 27th week of Balinese 30-week calendar). Coincidentally, Bhatara Kala's younger brother, Bhatara Kumara, was born in Wuku Wayang, so Bhatara Kala really wanted to eat his younger brother.When Bhatara Kala wanted to eat his younger brother, Bhatara Shiva intervened them and said that Bhatara Kumara was still young so he could not be eaten. Then, Bhatara Shiva gave a blessing to Bhatara Kumara so that he would always take the form of a child so that his brother would not eat him.Bhatara Kumara was then assigned to herd cattle, but he quickly grew bored. It was there then that Bhatara Shiva gave a lecture on spiritual teachings.The important teachings in this Lontar Kumara Tattwa include the nature of the ten faculties which can cause the ten kinds of defilements in one's body and mind (dasamala). This defilement causes eight delusions called astamaya-dewi.These eight delusions can be eradicated by the eight types of restraint, which are called Astalingga. In this Tutur Kumara Tattwa lontar it is also stated that there are eight qualities of glory.This lontar also discusses liberation and spiritual perfection. Perfection of life can be achieved by observing dasa niyama brata, which is ten actions that reflect one's austerities and self-restraint, namely giving, respecting those who deserve respect, exercising self-restraint, carrying out obligations, controlling lust, eating holy food, fasting, not speaking. carelessly, studying the scriptures and doing holy bathing.ing the scriptures and doing holy bathing.)

We invited those in our community, whether it be social, digital or local to participate in a contemplation. To contemplate the concept of ‘Dunia Tanpa Suara’. This translates to ‘World Without Sound’ (though may also be translated to ‘World without voice’).

In the thirteenth year, they had to disguise themselves unnoticed. If their disguise is uncovered, then they must repeat the period of exile in the forest for another twelve years.The Mahabharata incident occurred around 5,000 years ago, in the last quarter of the Dwaparayuga era. At that time, human life could reach 1,000 years with a long young period. So, do not be surprised if the Pandavas exiled themselves for a dozen years and can still have strong children. Not surprisingly, Bhisma, the elder of Hastinapur's nobles, was still alive when Arjuna, his grandson, had a son named Abhimanyu.In the forest, the Pandavas meet various magical things. One of the most important is the meeting of Maharaja Yudhisthira with a python who was Nahusa, his own ancestor. Nahusa was cursed to be a snake because of his arrogance. There was also the Yaksa Prasna incident, when Maharaja Yudhisthira was tested by Lord Yamaraja, the controller of death.by Lord Yamaraja, the controller of death.)

Banawa Sekar means "boat of flowers". This Kakawin was written by Mpu Tanakung (not his real name) when King Hayam Wuruk committed a great holy sacrifice (Sraddha) addressed to his late grandmother, Dyah Rajapatni Gayatri, at Majapahit palace square.There are only 12 stanzas in this kakawin, divided into three chapters. The first chapter describes the magnificence of the sraddha ceremony performed by Raja Hayam Wuruk. Many priests, royal families, nobles and all Majapahit officials were present to offer prayers and respect for the deity of Rajapatni Gayatri which was seated on a white throne.The second chapter describes various offerings from many descendants of the Majapahit aristocracy. There are offerings in the form of poetry, dances and so on. The last offering was a flower boat by King Hayam Wuruk. He offered a boat made from a variety of colorful flowers. There are gadung flowers, lotus, kayu mas, sanggalangit, jasmine, magnolia and so on. The boat was very beautiful.The final chapter expresses regret of the poet for not being able to explain the grandeur of the ceremony as the king expected. He hoped that the kakawin would be received by the king and make him happy before the kakawin was later copied in the form of palm-leaf manuscript.Zoetmulder (1983) transliterated this kakawin into Latin script and translated it into Dutch and Indonesian.d translated it into Dutch and Indonesian.)

Narration in Sabha Parwa begins with the invitation of the five Pandavas to Hastinapur to play dice. Hastinapur is located about 45 minutes from Delhi, so the distance is not too far. Keep in mind that all events in the Mahabharata are real. However, when the Mahabharata entered into various cultures in the world, this historical record was rewritten in the form of poetry, folktales and songs. In Indonesia itself, the Mahabharata was much changed its story to suit the interests at that time. This causes kakawin tobe unreliable as a source of history, but a literary work.Mahabharata was written by Maharsi Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa, the greatest and most respected sage by all Hindus.In Sabha Parwa, the saddest story is when Drupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, was dragged into the courtroom because her husbands lost bets. When Drupadi was almost stripped naked by Dussasana, Sri Krishna, who was Lord Vishnu himself, protected her by giving a very long string of saris to cover her body.Sabha Parwa is historical evidence that God is always present for anyone who surrenders to Him and becomes His faithful devotees. to Him and becomes His faithful devotees.)

The G20 session discussed many world issues, one of which was civil issues regarding culture which were often discussed in society, for example, the lack of literacy in regional languages. Regional languages have unique characteristics, for example, Balinese with language levels that make Balinese more interesting. However, interesting regional languages are still not able to increase literacy as the basis for sustainable development. From this problem, we know how important sustainable literacy is in era 4.0, which encourages many people to create a learning platform, both in terms of language, religion, and social, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development to a more advanced stage. complex and useful for development, one of the most interesting platforms for us is the BASAbali Wiki platform as a manifestation of a flexible platform with the millennial era.The wiki Balinese language platform is a medium for searching and deepening the Balinese language combined with two translator languages, namely Indonesian and English which can facilitate learning and deepening of the Balinese language. Besides that, the three-language dictionary feature of this platform has interesting features, one of which is the space community.

Dang Hyang Nirartha is known not only for his philosophical skills, but also because he is a qualified poet. One of the kakawin poems he wrote was Hanyang Nirartha, which he wrote on palm leaves. The Kakawin is said to have been written along the coast of southern Bali, when he saw the scenery of the beach and pudak trees (pandanus) that smelled so fragrant.This Kakawin has been translated into Indonesian by Ida Bagus Agastia, and collected in a book titled "At the Foot of the Island of Bali". The book tells how Dang Hyang Nirartha wrote his kakawin along the coast of southern Bali to Uluwatu.Hanyang Nirartha is a “pujasastra”. A “pujasastra” means a work of literature that aims to praise someone or something. In this kakawin, Dang Hyang Nirartha praised the omnipotence of God which is manifested in various natural beauty such as beaches, coral rocks, flowers and breezes. He attributed that beauty to the beauty of a woman. According to Hanyang Nirartha, the beauty of nature also exists in the human body, so that between humans and nature cannot be separated. What is in nature, also exists in the human body.If nature is destroyed, then the human body and mind are also damaged. According to Hanyang Nirartha, the balance of nature will affect the balance of humans. If human’s life is in riots, there is certainly something wrong with nature.

Pikobet luu lan kresikan pelemahan Bali + (Garbage and cleanliness problems in Bali h … Garbage and cleanliness problems in Bali have often become the main complaints of tourists on our Island of the Gods. The same thing that impressed me when I was in Bali was the amount of rubbish in famous tourist spots in Bali, such as the area around Dreamland Beach, the streets around the Bedugul tourist area, and in the temple tourist areas in Bali. It is very interesting that apart from the plastic waste that is still strewn about in Bali, there is also a lot of rubbish left over from prayers, which when I was in Bali, the Balinese rama people were in activities to welcome Galungan and Kuningan. For Balinese krama people, this may be a common thing, because after the ceremony there is usually a cleaning carried out by staff from the local government. However, it is important to remember that many tourists, both foreign and domestic, are still not used to seeing our habit of 'dirtying' tourist attractions after performing prayers and traditional ceremonies. Unlike in Indonesia, abroad there are no special officers who clean streets and public places. It would be nice if we kept the environment clean without having to depend on street cleaners. Overcoming the problem of waste and environmental cleanliness can be done by getting us into the habit of cleaning the surrounding home environment. Don't be embarrassed to invite our friends together to clean tourist areas in Bali. The cleaner Bali is, the more our confidence will increase in promoting Bali as the best tourist destination in the world, which of course can improve the economy of the Balinese people. Apart from that, the Balinese people must be able to reduce the amount of rubbish that is scattered around starting from individuals, whether in the form of plastic waste, the environment, or waste from prayers. Reducing the amount of waste scattered around does not mean limiting our work that produces waste. Real steps we can take are to always throw away rubbish in the right place, not pollute the temple area by getting used to throwing away the canang and incense left over from our prayers in the rubbish bin, and getting used to picking up rubbish that is in front of us. If necessary, don't hesitate to create a charity activity with your middle school, high school and college friends to work together to clean up tourist attractions in Bali. There is a very good example that we can emulate from the island of Okinawa - Japan, which in fact is a tourist spot whose conditions are similar to Bali. A small example is getting us into the habit of shopping using shopping bags that can be used repeatedly, in this way we will reduce the amount of plastic waste in Bali. Think about it carefully, if we don't have Balinese culture, who else wants to maintain cleanliness and care about the waste problem in Bali? and care about the waste problem in Bali?)

Inadequate infrastructure causes people's access to education, health and transportation to be limited. This makes it difficult for rural communities to access. To overcome this problem, local governments need to carry out various programs that can improve community welfare, such as providing social assistance, skills training, and developing the economic potential of local communities.

Local Economic EmpowermentEncouraging local economic growth can reduce dependence on the tourism and industrial sectors. Initiatives such as skills training, business capital assistance for local entrepreneurs, and promotion of local products can increase employment and income of local residents. In this way, Gianyar can become more economically independent and sustainable in the long term.3. Cultural and Environmental PreservationAs an area with rich cultural and natural heritage, cultural and environmental preservation must be a top priority in planning the development of Gianyar.

Investments in building schools, hospitals, health centers and other public facilities will ensure that every resident has equal access to these services.5.
