THE ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT OF CHILD LABOUR IN FAMILY BUSINESS AT CIBADUYUT FOOTWEAR INDUSTRY
Authors: Sumardani Sumardani , Yuningsih Yuyun
Published: September 2020

Child laborer tend to have high hazards and risks especially when they grind and glue a sole to the upper part of the shoe. Shoemaking remains to be a hazardous work for children and adults as long as chemical-based solvents are used. To overcome these problems, the government of the Republic of Indonesia launched a program by giving some aids to the parents of the child laborer to run their small business so that their children can stop working at the shoemaking industry. This research aims at analyzing the economic empowerment of parents who employed their children in the online business industry at Cibaduyut footwear industry and use a qualitative approach with a triangulation of data collected. The research informants were the child laborer, parents who employed their children, footwear craftsmen, and the Head of Industry and Trade Agency. The results of this research showed that economic empowerment in child laborer’s parents was still in low level and they could not market their shoes properly as a product of their small business. In this context, they need both training and workshop in social entrepreneurship and online business method in order to promote their product.

The ASEAN Economic Community was launched at the end of 2015. Whether we realize it or not, the MEA will be strongly linked to increasingly sharp competition in the Southeast Asia region. Although ideally the MEA is designed to provide benefits to all ASEAN member countries, President Joko Widodo on several occasions explained that the MEA is a competition between countries, and needs readiness for the Indonesian nation to face the MEA that is before the eyes. The question is , will Indonesia be the winner along with the ten other ASEAN members or will Indonesia only be a market? [1]The Government of Indonesia through the Minister of Manpower Regulation (Permenaker) No. 35 of 2015 which revised Permenaker No. 16 of 2015 concerning Procedures for Receiving Foreign Residents on October 23, 2015, one of which points to eliminating the need to speak Indonesian, it is one of the steps of Jokowi's government to facilitate investors so that many investors are expected to invest in Indonesia , but the concerns that arise are in revisions The Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 16 of 2015, the government has also removed the rules of obligation for foreign workers to speak Indonesian. Thus, foreign workers are now more flexible for careers in Indonesia.
SHEEP BUSINESS MANAGEMENT IN BUMDES CIBADAK KECAMATAN BANJARSARI CIAMIS REGENCY
Authors: Adnani Latifah , Kania Trisa Nur
Published: September 2020

BUMDes Cibadak village, Banjarsari sub-district Ciamis district is one of the BUMdes that runs businesses in the sheep farming sector. This business began in 2018. The types of sheep managed in this business include breeding sheep, fattening sheep and contest sheep. Sheep are made clean and attractive cages. Like a series of villages that are bounded by a partition for each sheep, one barrier is called the Lamb Hotel. The managers are around six residents. His job is to feed, keep the cage clean, bathe and keep sheep safe from being stolen. The sheep that are kept there are sheep belonging to BUMDes, and there are sheep deposited by investors. Sheep nurse receives her profit-sharing wage after being treated 4 months later and the sale proceeds from the distribution, namely for sheep owned by BUMDes, each party receives 50%. While the sheep from investors for the results of 40% for investors, 40% for caregivers and 20% paid to BUMDes as BUMDes cash input. The problem faced in caring for sheep is sheep feed in the form of grass during the dry season to get it experiencing difficulties because they have to find grass in distant regions which is considered inconvenient for sheep caregivers, besides the cost is also relatively expensive because they have to pay for gasoline and motorcycle maintenance. While giving food 3 times a day ie. 09.00 hours, hours. 14.00 and hour. 17:00. In addition, because those who care for sheep are not breeders or farmers, so there are those who are not careful in caring for their sheep, so they must be completed by other sheep nurses. The research objectives are 1) Knowing the role of the Cibadak BUMDes in the management of sheep businesses 2) Analyzing the development of sheep management businesses. The research method is qualitative with a descriptive approach, resource persons from the Head of the Cibadak village and the head of the sheep manager. Research site in Cibadak village, Banjarsari, Ciamis Regency. Research results, that in the management of these sheep require careful planning, because it involves living things, BUMDes as the party responsible for sheep management needs to work together with other villages, especially related to the problems of those caring for sheep, security against theft of sheep and the problem of supplying feed, In addition, the plan for the Cibadak BUMDes to develop contest sheep needs to be considered again because the maintenance costs are high and more complicated and prone to theft of these animals due to the relatively high prices. In this regard, supervision (Controlling) needs to be done intensively and involves the village security (Linmas)
THE ROLE OF NATURAL CLAYS IN THE SUSTAINABILITY OF LANDFILL LINERS
Authors: Regadío Mercedes , Black Jonathan A. , Thornton Steven F.
Published: September 2020

Engineered synthetic liners on their own cannot protect the environment and human health against landfill leachate pollution. Despite their initial impermeability, they are susceptible to failure during and after installation and have no attenuation properties. Conversely, natural clay liners can attenuate leachate pollutants by sorption, redox transformations, biodegradation, precipitation, and filtration, decreasing the pollutant flux. Depending on the clay, significant differences exist in their shrinkage potential, sorption capacity, erosion resistance and permeability to fluids, which affects the suitability and performance of the potential clay liner. Here, the physico-chemical, mineralogical and geotechnical characteristics of four natural clayey substrata were compared to discuss their feasibility as landfill liners. To study their chemical compatibility with leachate and rainwater, hydraulic conductivities were measured every ≈2 days spread over 7 weeks of centrifugation at 25 gravities. At field-scale, this is equivalent to every 3.4 yrs spread over 80 yrs. All the clayey substrata had favourable properties for the attenuation of leachate pollutants, although different management options should be applied for each one. London Clay (smectite-rich) is the best material based on the sorption capacity, hydraulic conductivity and low erodibility, but has the greatest susceptibility to excessive shrinkage and alterable clay minerals that partially collapse to illitic structures. Oxford Clay (illite rich) is the best material for buffering acid leachates and supporting degradation of organic compounds. The Coal Measures Clays (kaoline-rich) have the lowest sorption capacity, but also the lowest plasticity and have the most resistant clay minerals to alteration by leachate exposure.
‘BAD’ TRASH: PROBLEMATISING WASTE IN BLANTYRE, MALAWI
Authors: Kalina Marc , Tilley Elizabeth
Published: September 2020

‘Waste’ is everywhere, a common aspect of daily life in both the West and the Global South. However, the ways in which we as individuals understand it as a problem is far from universal. It does not exist independently from the people it affects, rather, waste, as a problem, is continually made and remade through human practice. The purpose of this article is to explore how and why certain ‘waste’ items are and become understood as problems. We adopt Foucault’s (1984) notion of ‘problematisa-tion’, as an analytical lens for conceptualising processes of problem formation through the eyes of two different groups working within and on the margins of Mzedi Dump Site in Blantyre, Malawi: subsistence maize growers and informal waste pickers. Drawing on extensive qualitative and ethnographic fieldwork, our findings suggests that for those working at Mzedi, waste problematisations are shaped by the tangible: the visible, and often painful impacts that Mzedi’s hazards have on their lives and livelihoods. However, the ultimate problematisation of waste lies in its utility, i.e. ‘good’ waste, is internalised based on its value. ‘Bad’ trash however, is problematised because it has no value, and is therefore considered useless, a problem taking up time and space that could be utilised more profit-ably. Understanding these processes of problem formation, and the degree to which waste problematisations are personal and/or socially constructed, has important ramifications for the adoption of appropriate waste management strategies and should inform a more nuanced and inclusive waste management studies discourse.
INFLUENCE OF MODELLING CHOICES ON THE RESULTS OF LANDFILL ODOUR DISPERSION
Authors: Tagliaferri Francesca , Invernizzi Marzio , Sironi Selena , Capelli Laura
Published: September 2020

Landfills are an important source of odour pollution, potentially causing nuisance to adjacent populations. The most commonly used odour impact assessment for this type of plants usually involves a combination of dynamic olfactometry with dispersion modelling. Despite the advantages associated with the use of dispersion models, there are still some important issues related to their uncertainty. The dispersion model requires the Odour Emission Rate (OER) as input, expressed as units of odour emitted per unit time. Source term characterization and the estimation of the OER are typically the most important steps in the model’s implementation, accounting for the highest contribution to the overall uncertainty. Another important element of uncertainty when modelling emissions from landfill surfaces is the geometrical implementation of the emission source in the dispersion model. This entails the definition of the initial dimensions of the emission, which is critical in the case of large area sources. This paper discusses issues related to uncertainty in the use of dispersion models for the evaluation of landfill odour impacts, particularly focusing on the estimation of the OER and the emission’s initial vertical dimension. This study shows that modelling choices may lead to a variance in the resulting modelled odour concentrations at receptors differing by up to a factor 3. This variability should not cause distrust in the method, but rather indicates the importance of having odour dispersion modelling studies carried out by experts with deep knowledge of the physical-chemical mechanisms underlying atmospheric emissions.
EVALUATION OF ORGANIC AND RECYCLABLE WASTE SEPARATION AT GENERATION SOURCE IN RATNAPURA AND KATARAGAMA LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN SRI LANKA
Authors: Sato Naofumi , Iida Chiharu , Nishi Chiaki , Karunarathna Anurudda
Published: September 2020

The Japan International Cooperation Agency implemented a technical cooperation project from 2017 to 2019 in collaboration with Central Environmental Authority (CEA) in Sri Lanka. The project provided technical; and financial assistances in preparing solid waste management plans at selected local authorities, and consequently implemented 3R promotion programs introducing source separation at households and subsequent separate collection by local authorities. Two pilot projects were implemented based on the solid waste management plans which were aimed at reducing the amount of solid waste to be landfilled. This paper described the approaches taken and results obtained through the pilot projects in Ratnapura Municipal Council (RMC) and Kataragama Pradeshiya Sabha Town (KPS) of Sri Lanka. The pilot project in RMC consisted of distribution of household compost bins and the separate collection of five categories of waste: 1) biodegradable waste, 2) plastic and polythene, 3) paper and cardboard, 4) glass, metal and coconut shells, and 5) other residual waste; and provision of advices to households by leaflets, distribution of equipment, and implementation of an awareness program. The pilot project in KPS consisted of procurement of separation bins for biodegradable waste by cost-sharing with dischargers and the separate collection of three categories of waste: 1) biodegradable waste; 2) recyclables including paper, cardboard, plastic, polyethylene, iron and coconut shells, broken glass and glass bottles; and 3) other residual waste. The post evaluation of waste composition and final discharge amounts at disposal sites indicated that pilot projects have contributed to increase 3Rs in both pilot project areas.

Crime and Punishment: Adam Smith’s Theory of Sentimental Law and Economics
Authors: Paganelli Maria Pia , Simon Fabrizio
Published: September 2020

For Adam Smith a crime is not the result of a rational calculation of loss and gain, but the consequence of envy and a vain desire to parade wealth to attract the approbation of others, combined with a natural systematic bias in overestimating the probability of success. Similarly, Smith does not conceive of legal sanctions as a rational deterrent, but as deriving from the feeling of resentment. While the prevailing approach of the eighteenth century is a rational explanation of crime and a utilitarian use of punishment, Adam Smith instead builds his theory of criminal behavior and legal prosecution consistently on the sentiments. A well-functioning legal system is thus an unintended consequence of our desire to bring justice to the individual person, not the result of a rational calculation to promote the public good, just like a well-functioning economic system is the unintended consequence of our desire to better our own condition, not the result of a rational calculation to promote public good.

An uncertainty-based model of the effects of fixation on choice
Authors: Li Zhiwei , Ma Wei Ji
Published: September 2020

When people view a consumable item for a longer amount of time, they choose it more frequently~\cite{krajbich_visual_2010}; this also seems to be the direction of causality~\cite{armel_biasing_2008}. The leading model of this effect is a drift-diffusion model with a fixation-based attentional bias. While this model accounts for the data, it is not normative, in the sense that it does not provide a rationale for this behavioral tendency. Here, we propose a partially normative account for the same data. This account is based on the notion that the brain builds a posterior belief over the value of an item in the same way it would over a sensory variable. As the agent gathers evidence about the item from sensory observations and from retrieved memories, the posterior distribution narrows. We further postulate that the utility of an item is a weighted sum of the posterior mean and the negative posterior standard deviation. Fixating for longer can increase or decrease the posterior mean, but will inevitably lower the posterior standard deviation. This model fits the data approximately as well as the attentional drift-diffusion model. We discuss the often overlooked technical challenges in fitting models simultaneously to choice and response time data in the absence of an analytical expression. Our results contribute to emerging accounts of valuation as an inference process.
Altered processing of communication signals in the subcortical auditory sensory pathway in autism
Authors: Schelinski Stefanie , Tabas Alejandro , von Kriegstein Katharina
Published: September 2020

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a clinical condition that is associated with deficient processing of communication signals. To-date, most neuroscience research on ASD focuses on explaining these symptoms at the cerebral cortex level or in limbic structures. This research implicitly or explicitly assumes that the subcortical sensory pathways are intact in ASD. To date, however, the integrity of subcortical sensory pathway nuclei in ASD has never been investigated in humans in vivo. Here, we assessed the functional integrity of auditory sensory pathway nuclei in ASD in three independent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments. We focused on two aspects of auditory communication that are impaired in ASD: voice identity perception, and recognising speech-in noise. Adults with ASD (n = 16 in experiments 1 and 2 and n = 17 in another sample in experiment 3) and typically developed control groups were pairwise matched on sex, age, handedness, and full-scale IQ. We found reduced processing in the ASD as compared to the control groups in the central midbrain structure of the auditory pathway (inferior colliculus, IC; all results FWE corrected and Bonferroni corrected for the number of regions tested). The right IC responded less in the ASD as compared to the control group for voice identity recognition, in contrast to a speech recognition task. The right IC also responded less in the ASD as compared to the control group when passively listening to vocal sounds in contrast to non-vocal sounds. For speech-in-noise recognition, we found that within the control group, the left and right IC responded more when performing a speech-in-noise recognition task as compared to when performing a speech recognition task without additional noise. In the ASD group, this was only the case in the left, but not the right IC. There was no interaction between noise and group. The results show that communication signal processing in ASD is associated with reduced subcortical sensory functioning in the midbrain. The results highlight the importance of considering sensory processing alterations in explaining social communication difficulties, which are at the core of ASD.
Potential psychosocial impact of COVID-19 on children: A scoping review of pandemics & epidemics
Authors: Merrill Kaitlyn A , William Trevyna , Joyce Kayla M. , Roos Leslie E , Protudjer Jennifer
Published: September 2020

Context: Physical distancing and health measures, such as school closures and work-at-home mandates, implemented to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19, will likely have far-reaching impacts on children’s psychosocial health and well-being. Objective: We aimed to examine extant literature on pandemics to identify the expected impact of COVID-19 on children’s psychosocial health and secondary outcomes, including nutritional, financial and child safety outcomes. Data Sources: Articles were searched within the Medline, Global Health, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases on June 11th, 2020. Gray literature was also examined from the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations International Fund (UNICEF) until July 24th, 2020. Study Selection: A total of 8332 articles were screened for eligibility by two independent reviewers. Of these, 7,919 and 413 articles were from academic databases and additional sources, respectively. Data Extraction: Results on child outcomes were extracted and collated. Results: Seventy-three articles met inclusion criteria. Children have faced significant challenges with 12% of total articles indicating loneliness/depression, 21% anxiety, 7% grief, 10% stress-related disorders, 25% child abuse, 8% family conflict, and 12% stigma during pandemics/epidemics. Furthermore, 25% of articles indicated economic challenges, 23% negative academic impacts, 33% improper nutrition, and 21% reduced opportunities for play/increased screen time. These challenges were exacerbated among children who were female, having a disability, or being a migrant/displaced child. Conclusion: Pandemics and epidemics have had diverse and widespread negative consequences for children. Findings can inform the development and implementation of resources during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect child health and well-being.
Microgravity Effects on the Human Brain and Behavior: Dysfunction and Adaptive Plasticity
Authors: Hupfeld Kathleen , McGregor Heather , Reuter-Lorenz Patricia , Seidler Rachael
Published: September 2020

Emerging plans for travel to Mars and other deep space destinations make it critical for us to understand how spaceflight affects the human brain and behavior. Research over the past decade has demonstrated two co-occurring patterns of spaceflight effects on the brain and behavior: dysfunction and adaptive plasticity. Evidence indicates the spaceflight environment induces adverse effects on the brain, including upward fluid shifts, gray matter changes, and white matter declines. Past work also suggests that the spaceflight environment induces adaptive neural effects such as sensory reweighting and neural compensation. Here, we introduce a new conceptual framework to synthesize spaceflight effects on the brain, Spaceflight Perturbation Adaptation Coupled with Dysfunction (SPACeD). We review the literature implicating neurobehavioral dysfunction and adaptation in response to spaceflight and microgravity analogues, and we consider pre-, during-, and post-flight factors that may interact with these processes. We draw several instructive parallels with the aging literature which also suggests co-occurring neurobehavioral dysfunction and adaptive processes. We close with recommendations for future spaceflight research, including: 1) increased efforts to distinguish between dysfunctional versus adaptive effects by testing brain--behavioral correlations, and 2) greater focus on tracking recovery time courses.
Psychosocial challenges in palliative care: Bridging the gaps using digital health
Authors: Sultana Abida , Tasnim Samia , Sharma Rachit , Pawar Priyanka , Bhattacharya Sudip , Hossain Md Mahbub
Published: September 2020

Psychosocial health is a major palliative care concern globally. Patients and caregivers engaged in palliative care may experience deteriorated mental and social health conditions. Global evidence informs a high burden of depression, anxiety, psychological distress, and other mental health problems among the palliative care populations. Those challenges aggravate the preexisting palliative care issues, such as lack of access and suboptimal quality of care. Palliative caregiving, both in the institutional and community settings, should be strengthened, incorporating psychosocial support for the patients and their caregivers. The recent advancements in digital health technologies have shown promising impacts in facilitating health communication, decision-making, and delivering psychosocial interventions using digital devices and platforms. Adopting evidence-based interventions can help the users to access mental health resources and communicate with each other to promote shared decision-making and management of health problems. Healthcare organizations and systems may explore opportunities to advance psychosocial care using digital technologies. Leveraging advanced technologies in palliative caregiving may require multifaceted research exploring potential barriers and opportunities at the user, institutional, and systems levels. Nonetheless, palliative care policies and health systems measures should be strengthened to develop and implement digital support systems that may improve psychosocial health and overall palliative care outcomes.

Selling Effective Violence Prevention Policies to the Public: A Nationally Representative Framing Experiment
Authors: Pickett Justin , Ivanov Stefan , Wozniak Kevin
Published: September 2020

Objectives. After years of decreasing public punitiveness and declining crime rates, politicians are seeking evidence-based crime policies to reduce mass incarceration without increasing crime. One such policy that has been implemented in several U.S. cities is the Operation Peacemaker Fellowship (OPF), which incentivizes conformity and program participation by providing monetary stipends to individuals at risk of violent offending, thereby simultaneously reducing violence and incarceration. Yet, there is no evidence about public support for such policies. Methods. Using a nationally representative survey experiment, we examine public support for violence prevention stipends. We employ a referendum-style, contingent valuation design to measure the impact of tax increases versus tax savings on public opinion, and we randomize message framing that emphasizes the stipend program’s risky versus protective features.Results. Both tax changes and risk framing matter. The public is willing to vote for stipends when they reduce taxes and are framed as a method to save lives. Most Republicans oppose stipends under all conditions.Conclusions. Reformers can increase public support for effective, non-punitive policies that target violent offenders by emphasizing both their economic and social benefits. However, such policies are likely to face consistent opposition from certain portions of the public.
Integrating social and ecological research on the impacts of offshore wind farms in North America | Preprint for book: Researching people and the sea: methodologies and traditions, Chapter: 11, Palgrave
Authors: Brink Talya ten , Dalton Tracey , Livermore Julia
Published: September 2020

Ten Brink et. al. identified insights from their social-ecological study on the impacts of the first offshore wind farm in North America. They analysed ecological data from demersal fish trawl and lobster surveys and qualitative social science data from commercial and recreational fishermen. They found that challenges include the integration of different types of data, temporal and spatial ranges of data, framing of the studies, and mismatch in fish species targeted. Benefits include more comprehensive capture of impacts and guidance on how to design better biological studies. Early stage collaboration during research design, aligned goals, and comprehensive planning can allow for more integrated data collection and analysis and have relevance to other interdisciplinary studies of marine and fisheries domains.

Aluminum loaded saponified Mango Waste i.e. Al (III)–SMW adsorbent, which functions as anion exchanger, was developed by loading Al (III) onto lime treated Mango waste biomass. The characterization of adsorbent was done by an Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and chemical analysis techniques.  Elemental analysis showed an exchange of Ca (II) or K (I)  from SMW with Al (III) during loading reaction via cation exchange mechanism. Phosphate adsorption is strongly pH-dependent and maximum adsorption occurs at pH around 7– 9. The maximum uptake capacity of Al (III)–SMW for phosphate was found to be 3.28 mg/g from the Langmuir isotherm model. The residual concentration of phosphate was sharply decreased by increasing the amount of Al (III)–SMW and reached less than 0.07 mg/L (from 9.7 mg/L) with the use of only 6 g/L of Al (III)–SMW whereas higher than 7 g/L successfully removed 100% of phosphate from water. The adsorbed phosphate was successfully desorbed and the adsorbent was regenerated using dilute alkali solution. Therefore, the Al (III)–SMW adsorbent investigated in this research work is expected to be a potential material for the treatment of water polluted with a trace amount of phosphate from aqueous solution.
Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Some Lanthanide(III) Nitrate Complexes with a Mesogenic Schiff-Base, N,N’-di-4-(4’-heptadecyloxybenzoate) salicylidene-1,3-diaminopropane Derived from 2,4- dihydroxybenzaldehyde

Complexes of La(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Gd(III) and Dy(III) with the Schiff-base, N,N′-di-4-(4’-heptadecyloxybenzoate)salicylidene-1,3-diaminopropane, (abbreviated as H2L) have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic, electronic, infrared, 1H and 13C NMR spectral techniques. The nephelauxetic ratio (β), the bonding parameter (b1/2), Sinha’s parameter (%δ) and angular overlap parameter (η) have been calculated from the electronic spectra of Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III) and Dy(III) complexes. Infrared and NMR spectral data imply a bi-dentate bonding of the Schiff-base in its zwitterionic form (as LH2) to the Ln(III) ions through two phenolate oxygens, rendering the overall geometry around Ln(III) to distorted square antiprism. Polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) shows the liquid crystalline property of the ligand with a nematic (N) mesophase. Among the metal complexes, only that of the Gd(III) exhibits smectic B (SmB) and nematic (N) phases.

We describe a case of an 80-year-old man with COVID-19 and Legionella bacterial co-infection who initially presented to hospital with fever, respiratory symptoms, and diarrhea with radiographic evidence of atypical infection. His initial nasopharyngeal swab was negative; however, a subsequent swab was positive. A Legionella urinary antigen test was positive for Legionella pneumophilia serogroup 1 antigen. Despite a low prevalence of bacterial co-infection in patients with COVID-19, a large number of patients receive antimicrobial therapy. Based on clinical context, a high index of suspicion is warranted for both bacterial and viral infectious processes during the COVID-19 pandemic; this will help to ensure that appropriate antimicrobial therapy is used.
Functional and Language Features of Nicknames of German-Speaking Users of Humorous Internet Sites
Authors: Zakharova Elena Valerevna
Published: September 2020

The author of the article outlines that nicknames represent a relatively new linguistic phenomenon in virtual communication, which has been the subject of many contemporary studies. However, some aspects of this phenomenon, as well as the spheres of the Internet in which nicknames function, remain insufficiently explored.
The aim of the work is to solve the question whether nicknames of users of entertainment sites have special structural, semantic and functional features that distinguish them from users of other resources. To solve the above-mentioned question an attempt to identify and describe the features of nicknames of only one specific area – German-language humorous websites has been made by the author of the article.
Methods. In the course of the research, the following methods were applied: structural analysis, statistical method, descriptive method, observation, comparison, generalization, systematization and interpretation, as well as the method of quantitative experimental data processing.
Results of the research. In the course of the research more than 200 nicknames were collected and analyzed according to various criteria: by their language affiliation, by structural and semantic methods of their creation, by age and gender of the users. The author supposes that nicknames should be considered in the context of the particular Internet resources, as the discursive specificity of sites determines, first of all, the semantic feature of nicknames. It is emphasized that the main function of humorous websites is humor and entertainment, so the dominant motives for creating nicknames will be laughter and principled lightness. The author also pays special attention to the fact that unlike other types of nicknames, humorous virtual names are not intended to arouse interest and sympathy, but perform primarily identifying and pragmatic functions.

Migrant workers’ social protection rights include the rights to access healthcare services, medication, social services, and social security. Social security branch applicable for migrant workers are for instance social insurance, universal coverage, provident funds, individual private accounts, employer-liability schemes, and social assistance. Indramayu as the highest migrant workers sender district until April 2019, is also a district with the highest complaint in 2018 and several cases related to social protection. With 148 total cases reported from Indramayu leads to the question of whether women migrant workers from Indramayu understand social protection and its function to protect them and prevent them from poverty. Therefore, this study aims at providing an overview pertaining social protection rights to migrant workers based on the perspective of pre and post-placement women migrant workers from Indramayu District with Hongkong, China as the host country. This is historical-comparative qualitative study with purposive sampling to 10 pre and post-placement women migrant workers. The findings demonstrated that social security obtained by the women migrant workers from Indramayu is social insurance from the home country and healthcare insurance for workers from the host country. At the host country, women migrant workers are protected with healthcare insurance from the employer while at the home country, women migrant workers are protected with social insurance for migrant workers known as BPJS Ketenagakerjaan TKI, whose occupational injury and death insurance schemes are mandatory for all migrant workers. For women migrant workers, healthcare insurance in the host country is much more crucial than BPJS for TKI. It is expected from the findings of this study could be considered by the stakeholders of migrant workers to enhance and to extend the coverage of protection for migrant workers especially woman migrant workers.
