PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT SEBAGAI MODAL UTAMA DALAM PERUBAHAN PERILAKU DI LINGKUNGAN RW LAYAK ANAK
Authors: Tedja Jeanne Noveline
Published: December 2022

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan dalam rangka penelitian untuk penulisan disertasi mengenai penyelenggaraan kebijakan Kota Layak Anak (KLA) di Kota Depok, Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini merupakan sosial policy research dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengetahuan yang didapatkan sebagai hasil dari sebuah penelitian sosial dapat digunakan untuk berbagai tujuan, dan secara khusus bermanfaat bagi ‘disadvantaged populations’, yang dalam penelitian tersebut adalah anak-anak. Kebijakan Kota Layak Anak lahir sebagai tindak lanjut Konvensi Hak Anak PBB dan merupakan upaya Pemerintah dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan anak. Penelitian tersebut merupakan studi kebijakan yang menganalisis interpretasi kebijakan KLA di tingkat kota dan implementasi kebijakan KLA di lingkungan RW. Dalam implementasi kebijakan KLA di lingkungan RW, penulis menganalisa dinamika pelaksanaan RW Layak Anak yang kemudian dibedakan menjadi dua kasus. Pada RW Layak Anak kasus pertama, masyarakat memiliki tiga variabel yang berhasil diidentifikasi yaitu: kualitas masyarakat (tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai manfaat kebijakan dan kesukarelaan mereka untuk berkontribusi demi tercapainya tujuan kebijakan), modal komunitas yang melekat pada masyarakat, dan adanya change agent yang menggerakkan dan melibatkan masyarakat. Tiga variabel inilah yang membuat dorongan motivasi berasal dari dalam diri masyarakat yang menimbulkan inisiatif sehingga menyebabkan partisipasi masyarakat tinggi dan mewujud dalam berbagai pelaksanaan kegiatan pemenuhan hak anak, serta dalam bentuk partisipasi orang tua dan masyarakat secara umum yang dilakukan secara bergotong royong, yang kemudian berdampak pada perubahan perilaku di lingkungan tersebut. Tiga variabel tersebut tidak ditemukan pada RW Layak Anak kasus kedua, dimana masyarakat di lingkungan tersebut pasif sehingga tidak terjadi perubahan perilaku pada anak-anak maupun masyarakat pada umumnya. Sebagai rekomendasi, penulis mendorong agar masyarakat meningkatkan awareness nya terhadap lingkungan sekitar, terhadap penyelenggaraan pemerintah dan terhadap kebijakan publik yang mempunyai manfaat besar bagi masyarakat. Selain itu masyarakat juga harus proaktif memperluas wawasan dengan mengikuti perkembangan yang terjadi di lingkungan sekitar dengan mengakses informasi terkini baik dari media cetak maupun media elektronik.

Kata kunci: kebijakan sosial; kesejahteraan anak; kota layak anak; partisipasi masyarakat; rw layak anak.

Authors: - Prathima Prakasam
Published: December 2022

Background: Feeling nervous about exams is a normal feeling among college students. Test anxiety is a feeling of agitation and distress associated with test taking, which impacts the student’s ability to study or perform on the test. Students who are likely to have test anxiety are high-achieving students and unprepared students. This study aimed to assess the perceived level of test anxiety among undergraduate Nursing students and to find out the strategies used by the students to overcome the test anxiety.

Methodology: Comparative study with 180 undergraduate Nursing students aged between 18 to 23 years. There were 90 respondents in each group. The tool used to assess test anxiety was the west side test anxiety scale. Purposive sampling techniques were used.

Analysis and Results: In total there were 180 participants. They were a group with 90 participants. Among them 42% were boys and 58% were girls. In the novice students group, 43% were boys and 57% were girls. On the other hand, 41% were boys and 59 % were girls in Final year nursing students. 72.2% of novice students experience High normal to extremely high test anxiety. Surprisingly 77% of the final students had experienced High normal to extremely high test anxiety. To compare the groups, a t-test was used with a mean anxiety value. This was done at a 0.05 level and the P values (0.2315) show that there is no difference in the anxiety level between novice students and final-year students. Surprisingly the test anxiety means the value was higher than the novice students.

Conclusion The present study revealed that 28% of them were comfortable in the novice group and 23.3 % of final-year students showed normal/average levels of test anxiety. The rest 72.2 % from the Novice group and 77% of Final year students were having test anxiety from High normal test anxiety to extremely high test anxiety. The t-test value showed that there is no difference in test anxiety between novice and final-year students. The final years were more anxious due to a lack of preparation and fear of final scoring. From the group of novice students, 72.2 % of them experienced high test anxiety which needs to be addressed with proper guidance and mentoring. In the early stage itself, this needs to be rectified for better academic performance in consecutive years. The remaining students are to be monitored with their academic performance and given the appropriate guidance to excel in their academics. Medical teachers need to be aware of the factors causing exam anxiety and give them proper training from day one onwards.

Representation and Question of Dalit Identity: A Critical Study of Premchand's 'Godan' from a Dalit View-point
Authors: - Anand Kumar , - Raju Parghi
Published: December 2022

The central orientation of this paper is organized around the conception of representation and the question of Dalit identity. The essence of the concept lies in understanding the complex function of language since it plays an instrumental role in knowing the fundamental question of how do we know what we know or in a more concrete term the essence of production and circulation of meanings that led to the constitution of one’s identity. The constitution of one’s identity is the result of representational theory of language, but sometimes this representational system becomes a subject of scrutiny when a derogatory identity is imposed on an individual or a group of individuals as in case of the Dalits in India who were formerly represented by a derogatory and abusive term- untouchable that led to the constitution of their untouchable and contemptible identity. The paper explores representation of Dalits in Premchand’s classic novel Godan from a Dalit point-of-view and it also addresses the question how this representation helps imposing a fragile and a contemptible identity to the Dalit community.

Intertextuality and Autointertextuality as a Means of Conceptualization of the Author’s World Perception
Authors: - Heghine Ts. Isahakyan
Published: December 2022

Postmodern writings stand out with vivid intertextuality. To study postmodern literary texts ignoring intertextual ties or intertexts would mean to do a vain study. In the given article it is suggested to carry out conceptual analysis of literary texts from the perspectives of intertextuality and autointertextuality. As an example can serve the conceptual analysis of the concept ‘’smile’’ in J.Fowles’ novel ‘’The Magus’’.
J.Fowles is an outstanding British writer whose writings have deep psychological and philosophical ideology which can have a great impact on different generations. He touches upon such issues as ‘’love’’, ‘’freedom’’, ‘’ death’’, ‘’isolation’’ and so on. Freedom is reflected nearly in all his writings from various aspects. The novel ‘’The Magus’’ is no exception. The conceptual analysis on this novel will help the investigator to study J. Fowles’ unique individual perception of the world
The conceptual analysis of the concept ‘’smile’’ is essential first of all in the sense that only due to the profound understanding of this concept in the novel ‘’The Magus’’ the reader will be able to decode the message of the novel completely. Actually the key concept of ‘’The Magus’’ is ‘’freedom’’. However, only deep understanding of the concept ‘’smile’’ will allow the reader to perceive the ‘’freedom’’. The study reveals that according to J. Fowles in order to be truly free man should ‘’learn to smile’’, but in a specific sense, they should have a smile that is full of good metaphysical good humour like in a dramatic irony, which itself is a manifestation of freedom.
Peter Comestor’s Historia Scholastica: Pursuing the veritas historiae Through the Works of Josephus
Authors: Moscone Sara
Published: December 2022

Petrus Comestor’s Historia Scholastica is a broad biblical rewriting composed ca. 1160 in the milieu of the cathedral school of Paris and the abbey of St. Victor. Also known as the ‘popular Bible’, it was considered a pivotal biblical manual until the mid-16th century, as the over 800 extant manuscripts show. For his wide-raging work, Comestor uses a variegated pool of sources, among which one of the most important is Flavius Josephus, known to Comestor through its Latin translation. The use of Josephus in the Historia is unique in its extent and has received some scholarly attention, but further research ought to be made. This article highlights how Comestor not only uses the Jewish Antiquities to fill in the gaps in the biblical narrative, for example integrating the account of the Binding of Isaac with indirect speech between father and son extrapolated from the Antiquities, but also compares them with the Vulgate and the Septuagint, granting them the same authority to establish the historical truth of biblical history. Passages from the Historia Genesis and Exodi are analyzed to show how Comestor goes out of his way to reconcile Josephus’ account and the Vulgate, showing the remarkable authority which the Jewish historian has in his eyes.

Authors: Arifin Arifin
Published: December 2022

The history of Islam in the archipelago, especially since the early 17th to 19th centuries, has produced a number of religious texts that are quite large, including various kinds of texts from several Islamic disciplines. Now these manuscripts can be used as primary sources for writing the intellectual and social history of Islam in the archipelago. Among the several topics from these manuscripts are those relating to criticism of the tarekat teachings in the archipelago, especially in the bidding of the tarekat without paying attention to the conditions for following the tarekat. One of them is basic understanding such as the science of monotheism and Islamic law. This article aims to explain the dynamics of tarekat sufism in the archipelago from the 17th to the early 19th centuries, and what are the reasons for the criticisms carried out by interpreters of Islam in parts of the archipelago. The primary object of this article is the manuscript Nubdhah fi Radd Ahl al-Tarikat fi Singapura, which is a religious work devoted to straightening sufi teachers and tarekah adherents who recruit their congregations without considering the conditions that have been quoted by sufi scholars. In analyzing the manuscript, this article uses the Paratex Gerade Genete theory by looking for the elements that accompany the text, both those contained in the manuscript or outside the manuscript.

Introduction: This study aimed to report the treatment of tendinitis in combination with local anesthetics and corticosteroids.

Case presentation: A man, 34 years old, came to the hospital with complaints of pain in the right shoulder. This pain is felt especially when moving the right shoulder, and the patient also cannot raise his right hand. Pain when moving the right arm appeared after falling off a motorbike about 1 month ago. The intensity of pain has been getting higher for the last 14 days, especially when going to bed, so the patient complains of difficulty sleeping. The patient has been treated at the public health center for a month and has received pain relievers. Physical examination showed vital signs within normal limits and pain intensity of 8/10 based on the visual analogue scale. Examination of the extremity shows the abduction of pain starting at 60°-70° on activity and no pain on passive movement. In the special tests, the Neer test is positive, the Hawkin test is positive, and the Empty Can test is positive. The patient was diagnosed with supraspinatus tendinitis. The treatment for this patient is supraspinatus tendon injection. The anesthetic agent used was 2% lidocaine combined with 20 mg triamcinolone corticosteroids. This procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance for precise injection sites. Evaluation after the action found no side effects. After 1 month of action, the patient felt that the pain was greatly reduced (1/10) and the joint movement was not limited.

Conclusion: The use of a combination of triamcinolone and lidocaine is beneficial in reducing pain in cases of supraspinatus tendinitis.

Authors: Alfian  , Endang Larasati Setianingsih  , Kismartini  , Tri Yuniningsih
Published: December 2022

This study aimed to analyze bureaucracy and public administration with an approach to Islamic values about norms, ethics, and marsalah mursalah as the spirit of the law. Islam still pays attention to the reality of society, thus giving birth to a humanist and authoritative formulation of Islamic law instead of authoritarianism of Islamic law. The method used for this study is a literature study. This study can be integrated with Maqhasid Syariah, namely by exploring philosophical values (the theory values), norms, and ethics related to bureaucracy and public administration in Islamic law. A number of theories recognize that Islamic values also influence public administration, such as performance, ethics, and accountability. The conversion of Islamic principles and following the secular path will result in the failure of Muslim societies and social renewal, requiring a return to Islam. In conclusion, the legitimate form of bureaucracy and public administration in the Islamic world is not only academic interests but also political interests on a global scale.

Makala hii inahusu uhakiki wa Sayansi katika Tamthiliya ya Kiswahili, mifano kutoka tamthiliya ya Orodha. Ni moja ya makala chache katika mfululizo wa uchambuzi wa masuala ya kisayansi katika Tamthiliya na Fasihi ya Kiswahili kwa ujumla. Lengo la makala hii ya utafiti ni kueleza sifa fumbatwa za kisayansi zitakazopelekea kuundwa kwa mtindo mpya wa uhakiki. Mitindo ya uhalisia, uhistoria, sosiolojia, umuundo, saikolojia, falsafa, uhalisia mazingaombwe kutaja chache, imetumika kwa muda mrefu katika ulimwengu wa uhakiki. Nadharia ya mwingiliano matini imeongoza uchambuzi huu hususani kupitia usemezano wa matini. Maelezo ya ufafanuzi wa masuala ya sayansi kutoka katika taaluma za fizikia, baiolojia na kemia yalitumika kumuongoza mwandishi kuweka alama na kudondoa nukuu zilizofumbata sayansi. Data kuhusu masuala ya sayansi kutoka taaluma za sayansi kavu na taarifu ya tamthiliya zilikusanywa kupitia mbinu ya usomaji makini. Matokeo yameonesha kuwa, juhudi za kuisaka orodha au barua iliyoelezwa na mtunzi, mfasiri na wahakiki wa tamthiliya kuwa ya kuchekesha ni ya kisayansi. Wahusika Padri James, Bw. Chaka Ecko, Salimu, Juma na Kitunda wanaisaka orodha kwa kutumia mbinu ya sayansi ya utatuzi wa tatizo. Wahusika hawa wanahaha kutatua tatizo la kuipata orodha iliyoandikwa na Furaha, binti waliyetembea naye kimapenzi. Msako unatokana na hofu yao kubwa ya kutajwa kwa majina kuwa walimuambukiza ugonjwa wa UKIMWI. Mwanasayansi hufanya uchunguzi hatua kwa hatua pindi anapokabiliwa na tatizo ili kulitatua, hivyo Padri James, Bw. Chaka Ecko, Salimu, Bw. Juma na Kitunda ni wanasayansi. Sayansi hii haitajwi wazi na wahusika, mwandishi, mfasiri au wachambuzi tangulizi. Tamthiliya hii pia haikupewa sifa ya kuwa na sayansi, hadhi inayopewa na makala hii. Makala imeuweka katika ujaribizi uchambuzi wa mtindo wa usayansi kupitia mbinu ya sayansi ya utatuzi wa tatizo. Tabia hii jaribizi ya uchambuzi inasaidia wasomaji kuelewa wahusika wanavyotatua matatizo binafsi na, au jamii ambayo kwa kiasi kikubwa ni malengo ya uandishi wa kazi ya fasihi.
