Cloudy Story

article by Claudyne Li The COVID-19 pandemic caused a health crisis that was rapidly spreading throughout the world. Efforts to develop pharmacological interventions for COVID-19 prevention and treatment are still ongoing and have not yet produced the right solution. Meanwhile, the health crisis also impacts large-scale behavioral changes with a significant psychological burden on humans. The impact is not only an economic crisis but also a mental health crisis experienced by the community. The condition of people who are more often at home now will certainly cause the free time to watch television, browse social networks, the internet, or get information through close relatives. The delivery of messages through the process of communication is influenced by emotional and spiritual intelligence (Masturi and Utami, 2018:107). Poor communication results in a low level of emotional and spiritual intelligence, such as mental illness (like fear, boredom, anxiety, depression, or even suicidal behavior). This shows that communication is closely related to a person's psychological condition. Therefore, it is very important to convey appropriate information and communication to prevent hoax news while maintaining the mental health of the community. Individuals who take a rational approach to health problems and consultations from various sources of information are generally better at deciding which information can be trusted. Health-related behavior is influenced by various structural, social, and psychological factors. Communication strategies can influence all of these factors, and communication strategies and communication science perspectives are relevant across structural, public, and self-stigma (Committee on the Science of Changing Behavioral Health Social Norms et al., 2016: 53). At present, the whole world is in chaos due to the identification and spread of COVID-19. Thousands of articles published in the mass media have a big impact every day. Thus, people with low levels of information literacy risk failing to access the right information. This is due to the fact that misleading and/or speculative information is being circulated online and offline through mass media and social networking platforms. While scientists are trying to publicize their breakthroughs in science, more attention needs to be paid to the aspect of scientific communication that includes public information. Science communication provides the basis for understanding the effects of message features, content, and platforms on four aspects which are combined into one, such as cognitive, affective, persuasive, and behavior. All of these aspects depend on the characteristics of the audience, the media, the source of the message, and the specific content used in the message. According to Burns et al. (2003:191), science communication (SciCom) may be defined as the use of appropriate skills, media, activities, and dialogue to produce one or more of the following personal responses to science that are sequentially processed into awareness, enjoyment or other affective responses, interest, opinions, and understanding. Dissemination of information around a pandemic encourages facts about the importance of effective scientific communication. COVID-19 has caused an increase in conspiracy theories, false news, and misinformation. According to conspiracy theories, the virus outbreak was the result of a biological warfare rather than natural occurrence (Millett and Snyder (2017) in Abaido and Takshe (2020:123)). Conspiracy theories emerged shortly after the first news of COVID-19 and continued. Some are concerned about the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, for example, that it is a bioweapon created by China to trigger war on America or vice versa. Others focus on prevention and cure. No wonder that conspiracy theories have developed at this time. Someone will be more interested in conspiracy theories when feeling frustrated or even depressed. Thus, conspiracy theories can become more attractive because COVID-19 spreads, and many people isolate themselves. It should be noted that conspiracy theories be detrimental to social peace and harmony, as they can not only influence people's health choices but can also instigate xenophobia in societies, triggering violent social behavior (Adam and Moodley (2013) in Abaido and Takshe (2020:123)). Providing factual information to people before exposure to conspiracy theories can reduce conspiracy theory beliefs, and this strategy might work in an effort to combat conspiracy theories relevant to the current pandemic. However, because some people tend to consume information in a like-minded 'echo-chambers', battling conspiracy theories remains a challenge (Bavel et al., 2020:464). False news and misinformation about COVID-19 have spread widely on social media, with potentially dangerous consequences. Developing research uses social science to understand and fight the spread of false news. One approach is to eliminate prejudice using fact-checking and correction (Bavel et al., 2020: 464). Fact-checking has been done on several sites, one of which is the site factcheck.org. UNICEF has also implemented fact-checking by publishing verified content. Accurate information about what most people do is likely to help, for example, what most people do is constructive (such as promoting mental health). Social norms or perceived habits will be effective for those close to them as well as with whom the information is shared. Social media can strengthen the spread of both harmful and beneficial behaviors and this effect can spread through networks between individuals. The most effective collaborative efforts are based on communication science and informed by behavior theory. Technological and mathematical knowledge played a key role in generating high-profile contemporary examples of science communication. Holliman (2005:7) mentions that one of the key issues that links these examples is that they have all be the subject of a considerable number of communications in a wide range of contexts, e.g within (in the form of journal articles) and outside (in the form of news media reporting) scientific community. Science communication related to each example was produced by a number of social actors, including scientists and representatives of scientific institutions, professional media, non-governmental organizations, and community members. For example, the broadcasting of the latest news COVID-19 in Indonesia which is informed every day by a doctor as well as an influencer. As such, these examples represent interesting opportunities to investigate how science is communicated both inside and outside the community with a focus, especially on the role of scientists and scientific institutions. In science communication, researchers have explored a number of messaging approaches, including providing information in an evidence-based way that enhances understanding and action. Several studies have found that, whether the recipient is motivated to think carefully or not, sources that are considered credible are more persuasive. The source's credibility comes from the assumption of how trustworthy and expert the communicator is. Credibility is defined as a set of communicant perceptions about the nature of the communicator (Masturi and Utami, 2018:116). Trusted voices have been proven to make public health messages more effective in changing behavior during epidemics. Some messaging approaches may be effective, including emphasizing benefits to the recipient, with a focus on protecting others (for example, washing hands or wearing masks to protect parents and the elderly) in accordance with the recipient's moral values. Which message works best depends on the motivation of the audience. In addition to finding effective messages for attitude change, this is also linked to problems driving behavior change. This happens when people feel confident about their attitude. This method of increasing certainty can be useful in the new normal era especially to help people feel confident about their new attitude and make them feel that their new attitude is a 'moral' to have. It might be useful to identify which messages are most successful in encouraging individual actions needed to fight the spread of the virus while providing mental support to other individuals. Another preventive approach involves subtle impulses that encourage people to consider accuracy. At present, almost all humans have consumed information from social media. Social platforms can encourage users to provide accuracy, for example by periodically asking these users to assess the accuracy of their news. Fighting false news (hoaxes) about COVID-19 around the world effectively requires the support of governments and media developing and testing interventions. Coordinated efforts between individuals, communities, and governments are needed to stop the spread of disease by sending 'strong signals' of cooperation and a framework that is in line. A good science communication campaign increases public knowledge about the truth of information related to mental health and also changes behavior towards people with mental disorders. Science communication will identify which norms and public behavior should be targeted, compile messages that must be remembered so that they have a lasting impact, and facilitate the selection of platforms or the best source of messages. Therefore, science-based communication can reduce the stigma of negative beliefs and behaviors that have an impact on mental health and strengthen people's positive attitudes.

article by Claudyne Li About a month ago, I read a book by Azim Jamal, a professional inspirational visionary and social volunteer for the past 35 years. This book with the title "Seven Steps to Lasting Happiness" has opened my mind and my heart how valuable this life I just realized. Happiness has nothing to do with what we have. Happiness is not decisive and intangible but only we can determine the standards of living and happiness. Every person is born with a purpose or vision in their life. The future as we see it, is something that is unknown and scary for most of us. We also have a variety of questions that may be hard to answer: what is the purpose of my life? How do I know that what I did was right? Will I be able to make it? What will happen after I die? How to live a happy life? Speaking of happiness, let's figure out that it can be achieved if we involve the side of our experience and the potential we have. Happiness without limits can be achieved through knowledge, inner wealth, and the potential for spirituality to create healthy and beneficial relationships. There are seven steps offered by Azim Jamal regarding self-happiness. Discover Yourself The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. -Ben Stein- In this life, everyone has a goal. We must travel to find the true nature of our life's purpose. The clearer the vision of life that we set, the greater our chance to fulfill it. Every day is new, a day that makes us always learn about ourselves and the environment around us. In order to keep learning, we need to pay attention and reflect on our daily experiences. We can only learn, at least one important lesson every day, if we are truly aware of what is happening around us. Maintain Positive Attitudes Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors. -Francois Duc de la Rouchefoucauld- Graces come to us every day. Some people may get more graces than others. However, the more we focus on what we have and what we receive every day, the more graces we will get. So, enjoying and being grateful for every little thing not only makes us focus on the positive things in life but also creates energy to develop these gifts. We don't need to worry about what other people think of ourselves and make it a habit to be prejudiced to others. The more we focus on our thoughts and actions, the more we can control our own happiness. Hone Your Life Skills If we can see beauty things, we are beautiful too. Various roles are carried out in life with limited time. Throughout this life, we must fulfill our responsibilities and try to realize our dreams. Focusing attention on the main things and always have a balanced view, then we will be able to resolve all responsibilities and create harmony. When we work proudly, edifying and helping others, and being true leaders at every step, we have made a positive difference in ourselves and others. Build Healthy Relationships The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family. -Thomas Jefferson- Relationships are very important. It is equally essential to be able to nurture our relationships and let them grow. If we have a healthy, loving relationship, respect for each other, always communicate, and teach each other lessons, we will experience happiness. Let Ethics and Values Be Your Guide Character is the basis of happiness and happiness the sanction of character. -George Santayana- Living ethically, habits of forgiving others, and sincerity of intentions are the three things we need so that we can relate to spiritual reality, and in turn, we will feel God's presence. Of all the bliss that exist, nothing can match the bliss of giving. When we treat others well, we actually treat our own lives. It always multiplies a million times. The more we give, the more we have. Awaken Your Spirituality A prayer that comes from the heart can move mountains. In contrast to the mortal and temporal dimensions of physical life, our spiritual life is eternal. If we want eternal happiness, we must connect with spiritual reality and try to carry out every activity as a divine activity. Whatever we do, we must see the spiritual benefits. In this way, we can change purely our actions into spiritual actions. Through prayer, meditation, contemplation of the universe, and inseparable relationship with spiritual reality, we can live a blessed and happy life. Enjoy The Ride Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back. -Harvey Mackay- Happiness is a choice. When we think that we are happy, we are happy. In that way, we will be able to face all the challenges of life with high self-confidence and optimism. We often get lost, in an attempt to find ourselves, but this also leads us to new doors. We might not figure it out at first glance, but these bits and pieces of our journey will all slowly fall into a place someday. Enjoy your days, enjoy the moment. Long-lasting happiness is achieved after we enjoy all the processes that occur in our lives. Keep going! Happiness.. it depends upon ourselves. (CL)

artikel oleh Midola N. dan Claudyne Li dalam Essay Writing Contest 2020 Indonesia memberlakukan kebijakan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) untuk membatasi pergerakan orang maupun barang selama COVID-19. Kebijakan PSBB mengakibatkan gangguan distribusi mulai dari keterlambatan distribusi, kenaikan harga dan kelangkaan barang. Pangan dianggap sebagai barang kebutuhan dasar sehingga masih diperbolehkan beroperasi, tetapi dilakukan pemeriksaan pada titik-titik tertentu yang dapat menyebabkan antrian padat pada pendistribusian pangan. Kualitas pangan harus tetap dijaga selama pendistribusian berlangsung. Selain gangguan transportasi pada distribusi pangan harus diminimalisasi, penting juga untuk memastikan pangan dapat dijangkau konsumen rumah tangga. Apabila dilihat dari sudut pandang masyarakat sebagai konsumen, masih banyak masyarakat yang belum bisa menjangkau ketersediaan pangan dalam rumah tangga. Kebijakan PSBB menyebabkan kelumpuhan ekonomi bagi sejumlah pihak sehingga tidak mendapat pemasukan. Ketahanan pangan pun semakin sulit dijangkau oleh kaum marjinal. Penerapan I-Frozle Frozen food adalah proses pembekuan makanan baik daging, sayuran, atau buah yang disimpan dalam kondisi dingin dan beku sebagai upaya pengawetan sampai produk tersebut akan dikonsumsi. Mengolah bahan pangan mentah yang tidak bisa diserap pasar menjadi frozen food dapat mengatasi kerugian saat harga anjlok. Penerapan I-Frozle (Inovasi Frozen Vegetable) menjadikan inovasi pengawetan sayuran untuk mengurangi aktivitas berbelanja ke pasar tradisional, di mana hal ini juga dapat menjadi sebuah peluang usaha frozen food. Pandemi COVID-19 telah menggeser gaya hidup masyarakat untuk lebih praktis dan higienis sehingga berdampak pada semakin terbukanya peluang pasar frozen food. Pandemi COVID-19 membuat pelaku usaha berpikir keras untuk mengatasi produk yang tidak laku dan mendekati tenggat kadaluarsa (expired date). Banyak pelaku usaha yang melanggar batas acuan penggunaan pengawet dan bahkan memakai bahan pengawet yang tidak semestinya agar lebih awet dan murah padahal BPOM telah mengeluarkan standar batasan dalam penggunaan bahan pengawet dalam produk pangan. I-Frozle merupakan suatu inovasi yang ditawarkan bukan hanya untuk makanan beku seperti daging tetapi juga memberikan inovasi penyimpanan sayuran beku sebagai penunjang suplai pangan selama pandemi COVID-19. I-Frozle tidak menggunakan bahan pengawet yang berbahaya. Teknik pembekuan pada I-Frozle menjadi dasar prinsip untuk mengawetkan produk pangan tersebut. Masyarakat pun aman mengonsumsi I-Frozle. Pembekuan sayuran segar mungkin masih belum familiar diterapkan di Indonesia, namun sudah banyak digunakan dan dipasarkan di negara-negara maju seperti di Amerika, Jepang, dan Hongkong. Sayuran segar yang dipetik langsung dari pertanian adalah yang terbaik untuk dibekukan. Jika sayuran tidak dapat dibekukan segera setelah panen, menyimpan sayuran di dalam kulkas adalah pilihan untuk menjaga kesegarannya sampai sayuran siap untuk dibekukan. Proses pembekuan khususnya pada sayuran (vegetable) yang diterapkan pada I-Frozle dimulai dengan pelayuan atau blanching. Pelayuan (Blanching) dan Pendinginan (Cooling) Blanching adalah proses mendidihkan sayuran dalam air atau uap untuk waktu yang singkat untuk memperlambat atau menghentikan aktivitas enzim serta menghilangkan mikroorganisme pada permukaan sayur. Blanching dapat dilakukan dengan merebus atau mengukus. Jika enzim tidak dihentikan sebelum pembekuan, sayuran dapat terus menjadi matang, mengembangkan rasa tidak enak dan kehitaman sehingga mungkin tidak terlihat segar seperti bentuk awal. Hal ini bertujuan menonaktifkan enzim peroksidase, yang dianggap sebagai penyebab degradasi pasca-pembekuan. Proses pemanasan ini dapat melunakkan dan membuatnya lebih mudah untuk dikemas. Beberapa mikroorganisme juga mati dan warnanya akan menjadi cerah. Waktu blanching bervariasi dengan ukuran atau jenis sayuran, dan disarankan cukup lama untuk menghentikan atau menghancurkan enzim sekitar 2 menit. Underblanching dapat merangsang aktivitas beberapa enzim dan membuat sayuran tidak memucat sama sekali. Overblanching menyebabkan hilangnya vitamin, mineral, rasa dan warna. Blanching pada produk hasil ternak seperti ikan, daging sapi, atau ayam tidak diperlukan tetapi langsung dibekukan dalam freezer. Setelah dipanaskan, sayuran harus didinginkan dengan cepat dan menyeluruh (thawing) untuk menghentikan pemasakan dan menghindari suhu tinggi di mana jaringan sayuran yang terpapar akan menyebabkan kehilangan nutrisi yang berlebihan. Selain itu, penurunan suhu akan menghambat proliferasi mikroorganisme kontaminan yang menyebabkan kerusakan pada jaringan. Setelah pemanasan, sayuran dimasukkan ke dalam air dingin atau air es yang banyak. Mungkin dibutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama untuk mendinginkan sayuran seperti halnya memanaskannya. Saat sayuran sudah dingin, kemudian diangkat dari air dan ditiriskan sampai bersih. Penyimpanan pangan dan sayuran sebaiknya tidak menyisakan sedikitpun adanya udara dalam wadah atau plastik. Sayuran sebaiknya dibungkus dengan kantong polietilen (PEHD) yang buram dan berkepadatan tinggi, dengan permeabilitas rendah baik untuk kelembaban maupun oksigen. Biasanya, warna putih digunakan untuk kantong polietilen. Film plastik yang buram akan melindungi produk dari radiasi, sehingga menghindari oksidasi. Selain pengemasan dalam film polietilen buram, kemasan untuk produk frozen vegetable juga dapat menggunakan seperti kertas/karton. Pengemasan dianjurkan untuk mengikat bagian ujung plastik setelah membungkus sayuran atau menyegel dengan karet. Sayuran yang dikemas harus tertutup rapat dan tidak mudah untuk masuknya udara. Penyimpanan (Freezing) Teknik pembekuan yang diterapkan pada pengolahan frozen vegetable dapat menjaga kualitas produk pangan. Pembekuan juga menjadikan produk pangan lebih awet. Pembekuan ini dapat menghambat proses pertumbuhan mikroorganisme penyebab kebusukan dan kerusakan. Pengaruh suhu lingkungan tumbuhnya mikroorganisme jika berada pada tingkat rendah atau <4°C maka suatu mikroorganisme akan berada pada posisi tidak aktif, dan akan aktif kembali seiring meningkatnya suhu lingkungan tumbuhnya (Madigan et al., 2012). Jenis pembekuan terbagi menjadi dua golongan yaitu pembekuan cepat (quick freezing) dan pembekuan lambat (slow freezing). Produk frozen vegetable harus tetap disimpan pada suhu pada beku antara -20°C sampai -40°C agar tetap awet. Buah dan sayuran adalah produk yang paling sensitif terhadap kerusakan penyimpanan, terutama pada suhu penyimpanan beku yang relatif hangat. Misalnya, pada suhu penyimpanan -5°C, periode penyimpanan maksimum yang disarankan adalah antara satu dan lima bulan. Produk-produk ini dapat mengalami sedikit pencairan dari waktu ke waktu, dan akan melepaskan cairan atau kehilangan nutrisi berkualitas tinggi sebagai hasilnya. Ketika suhu penyimpanan diturunkan, produk lebih stabil dan dapat disimpan untuk jangka waktu yang lebih lama. Pencairan (Thawing) Sebagian besar sayuran beku harus dimasak tanpa mencairkannya terlebih dahulu. Pengecualian jagung pada tongkolnya, harus dicairkan sebagian agar tongkolnya dipanaskan pada saat jagung dimasak (Robinson, 2004:9). Pemasakan membutuhkan waktu sekitar 10 menit dan masak hanya sampai lunak. Sayuran telah dimasak sebagian saat direbus, sehingga lebih sedikit waktu memasak yang dibutuhkan daripada sayuran segar. Pemasakan dilakukan dalam sedikit air, yaitu sekitar ½ gelas sudah cukup. Pengawasan selama penyimpanan perlu dilakukan karena fase ini akan menentukan kualitas produk beku. Untuk menghindari reaksi kimia atau biokimia, disarankan untuk menyimpan frozen vegetable pada suhu di bawah -18ºC. Fluktuasi suhu di ruang penyimpanan dapat mengganggu kualitas produk serta mengurangi masa manfaatnya (Torres dan Canet, 2001:1). Fluktuasi suhu yang cepat dapat menyebabkan penumpukan air pada permukaan internal kemasan. Selain itu, fluktuasi suhu dapat mempercepat pembentukan kristal es di dalam produk. Makanan beku, umumnya, mempertahankan warna dan rasa lebih baik daripada makanan yang diawetkan dengan metode konvensional lainnya, tetapi makanan tersebut masih berupa makanan yang diawetkan dan berbeda dari produk segar dalam karakteristik serta dalam teksturnya. Secara nutrisi, pembekuan mempertahankan nilai vitamin lebih baik daripada prosedur pengawetan konvensional lainnya karena suhu tinggi yang dapat merusak. Kehilangan nutrisi dan ketersediaan protein tidak sepenuhnya ditahan selama penyimpanan beku, namun kerugian pada penyimpanan -18°C selama satu tahun setara dengan kerugian yang terjadi pada bahan mentah dalam beberapa hari atau minggu. Nilai gizi mineral, lemak, protein, dan karbohidrat terbukti tidak terganggu oleh proses pembekuan dan sama baiknya dengan produk segar. Pembekuan tidak memerlukan pengawet karena pembekuan sendiri merupakan proses pengawetan. Walaupun banyak metode pengawetan makanan seperti penggaraman dan pengeringan, namun beberapa risiko yang ditimbulkan akan berpengaruh kepada perubahan maupun struktur terutama perubahan rasa dari makanan tersebut. Keuntungan pengawetan melalui frozen food dapat mempertahankan kualitas, rasa, dan dapat membantu mempertahankan nutrisi, mengunci vitamin dari panen hingga konsumsi serta mengurangi pembuangan sisa makanan (food waste). I-Frozle (Inovasi Frozen Vegetable) dapat dijadikan salah satu solusi untuk mencegah kerugian akibat produksi yang tidak bisa diserap pasar dan tidak bisa ditahan penjualannya. Penerapan I-Frozle di saat oversupply dapat menjaga keseimbangan harga pada pangan. Efisiensi produksi pun tercapai dengan penerapan I-Frozle di mana berkurangnya jumlah produk yang dibuang karena tidak laku ataupun rusak. Penerapan I-Frozle perlu digaungkan/disosialisasikan mulai dari petani maupun peternak hingga ke masyarakat. Dukungan dari pemerintah akan mempercepat proses transfer ilmu dan teknologi mengenai I-Frozle ke masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, pemanfaatan pengawetan produk sayuran dalam bentuk inovasi frozen vegetable atau I-Frozle dapat menunjang suplai persediaan pangan selama wabah COVID-19 karena mengefisienkan produksi dan konsumsi produk pangan serta meminimalkan kegiatan belanja di luar rumah dan mendukung aktivitas karantina selama pandemi.
