Film Intervention in Public Space. A Phylogenetic Spatial Change
Authors: Abdel-Ghani Taher
Published: September 2021

Cinema has taken up the role of a social agent that introduced a variety of images and events to the public during critical times. This paper proposes the idea of using films as a tool to reclaim public space where a sense of belonging and dialogue restore to a meaningful place. During the January 2011 protests in Egypt, Tahrir Cinema, an independent revolutionary project composed of filmmakers and other artists, offered a space in Downtown Cairo and screened archival footage of the ongoing events to the protestors igniting civic debate and discussions. The traditional public space has undergone what Karl Kropf refers to as the phylogenetic change, i.e. form and function that is agreed upon by society and represents a common conception of certain spatial elements. Hence, the framework that this research will follow is a two-layer discourse, the existence of cinema in public spaces, and the existence of public spaces in cinema. Eventually, the paper seeks to enhance the social relationship between society, spaces, and cinematic narration – a vital tool to raise awareness about the right to the city.
The Hope of Something Different. Eco-centricity in Art and Education
Authors: Fremantle Chris
Published: September 2021

Educational theorist Gert Biesta proposes that we need to be “in the world without occupying the centre of the world.” (Biesta, 2017, p. 3). This injunction provides a frame with which to interrogate the hybrid practice of ecoart. This practice can be characterised by a concern for the relations of living things to each other, and to their environments. Learning in order to be able to act is critical. One aspect is collaboration with experts (whether those are scientists and environmental managers or inhabitants, including more-than-human). Another is building ‘commons’ and shared understanding being more important than novelty. Grant Kester has argued that there is an underlying paradigm shift in ‘aesthetic autonomy’, underpinned by a ‘trans-disciplinary interest in collective knowledge production’. (2013, np). This goes beyond questions of interdisciplinarity and its variations to raise more fundamental questions of agency. Drawing on the work of key practitioner/researchers (Jackie Brookner (1945-2015); Collins and Goto Studio, Helen Mayer Harrison (1927-2018) and Newton Harrison (b 1932)) and theorists (Bishop, Kester, Kagan) the meaning and implications of not ‘occupying the centre of the world’ will be explored as a motif for an art which can act in public space.
Alfombrismo: Ephimeral Art Utopia
Authors: Lira Carmona José Alejandro
Published: September 2021

The way in which we experience public space is closely related to the sociocultural and environmental conditions of the context.
Similar to the garden – in the strict philosophical sense- Traditional Tapestry ephemeral art represents a utopia; it stands for an aesthetic theory of beauty and a vision of happiness. Traditional ephemeral art is conceptualized as a utopian space where diverse elements, people, as well as a wide variety of activities converge; those are the ones who transform reality through cultural expression, exploring habits and values which pursue a common goal in a livingly way, and improve social coexistence.
Tapestry ephemeral art temporarily and actively transforms their surroundings. It is in that public space where it is embraced that a dialogue is modelled; a dialogue where not only formal appearance but also designing constructive one converge, as an artistic, philosophical, and spiritual expression of its community itself.
Such artistic intervention allows physical proximity; in a whole overview vision of urban context, design displays Mexican art values and transforms public space. The greater the proximity, the greater the change in the scale of the work, therefore, it is possible to feel immersed in the piece and identify the natural material, which in its arrangement and place, reveals the garden utopia –symbol of harmony between itself and the atmosphere portrayed in a living work of art.
Nowadays, the isolated streets in many different parts of the world reflect a universal reality which urges a re-connection with the natural environment to which we belong, as well as a transformation of the sociocultural interactions that emerge from responsibility, equality and the common good.
Build Art, Build Resilience. Co-creation of Public Art as a Tactic to Improve Community Resilience
Authors: Robazza Guido
Published: September 2021

Temporary urbanism practices are forms of appropriation of the public space by the citizens. They can be a powerful engine for urban regeneration and social innovation, empowering local communities to take ownership of urban spaces, promoting positive urban change. In particular, the collective creation of temporary art installations in public spaces can foster a sense of belonging and define new forms of civic participation, including unrepresented voices, and re-activate the public realm. The portfolio narrates the development of the “Co-Creation of Temporary Interventions in Public Space as a Tool for Community Resilience” (University of Portsmouth) project, which promotes and develops a series of tactical, small-sized, co-created, temporary interventions in public spaces, bringing together various local actors and underrepresented groups. Temporary urbanism initiatives can be very powerful tools; while the change they bring may be small at first and incremental, the varied ways in which such initiatives affect the city and its citizens lead to an extremely meaningful and long-term impact.
#unmaskedselfiesinsolidarity. From Digital Artivism to the Collective Care of Social Art in Public Space
Authors: Lanson Klare , Badham Marnie , Wong Hulbert Tammy
Published: September 2021

Contemporary mobile media affords new insights into social and creative practices while expanding our understanding of what kinds of public space matter. With the continual rise of the social in contemporary art which sees relationships as the medium, smartphones have become important devices for individual political expression, social exchange and now contemporary art. This article draws on media studies and contemporary art theories to discuss #unmaskedselfiesinsolidarity (2020), a socially engaged artwork engaging more than 300 contributors in a few short weeks within the online and physical spaces of RMIT University in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. This artwork was instigated during the initial February 2020 outbreak of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China in response to expressions of fear and isolation, travel bans, and growing racism targeting international students. It employed one of the most pervasive barometers of popular and public culture today, the selfie. Through its messages of care alongside signs of solidarity from Chinese students suffering anxiety and isolation, #unmaskedselfiesinsolidarity moved individual selfie expressions of identity into the realm of socially engaged arts and public space.
Where's the "Public" in Public Art. Three Narratives from documenta 14
Authors: Velegrakis Giorgos , Liodaki Danai
Published: September 2021

This paper analyses five public art projects exhibited in documenta 14 in Athens in 2017 that redefine and interact with the public space and therefore, form three different narratives on public space. These narratives are outlined according to the different interpretations of ‘public space’, ‘public sphere’ and democracy by the various artists. Our argument is structured as follows; firstly, we present an analysis of public art and its basic features drawing from contemporary literature. Secondly, we provide a number of key facts regarding documenta and documenta 14, outlining the main reasons we selected it as a reference point. Thirdly, we describe the three narratives about public space that we came up with after our field research and interviews with the respective artists: Sanja Iveković, Joar Nango, Rasheed Araeen, Mattin and Rick Lowe. We then discuss the relations between them and develop a model that unravels the way artists explore the public domain, look for locations, and redefine public space and the lived experience in the city. To do so, we engage with theoretical approaches as well as elaborations on specific artworks that engage the shifts and changes of the lived urban experience through art.
When Modern Monuments are an Act of Autoplagiarism.
Authors: Krzysztof Krzysztof
Published: September 2021

This paper discusses the autoplagiarism of monuments as a system for the reworking structure of the public space in the interdisciplinary meta-analysis. The research rises the problem of blocking art and art activism in the region. The theoretical part focuses on Polish legislation (acts of 1994, 1997, 2003, and 2016), the opinions of historians on the division between the terms “places of memory” and “places of gratitude” (Ożóg 2011; Czarnecka 2015; Jach 2018), and an overview of the classification of monuments in artistic theories (Krauss 1993; Lacy 1995; Kwon 2004; Ranciere 2004; Walsh 2013; Taylor and Altenburg, 2006; Bellentani and Panico, 2016). Insights into psychological theories related to aesthetic judgment are also presented as supportive statements (Ishizu and Zeki 2013; G. E. Vaillant, M. Bond, and C.O. Vaillant, 1986; Reicher 2003; Le Bon 1929). The research covers six case studies of erected and removed monuments in the area of Smaller Poland during the period from the end of 2017 to the first part of 2018. All samples are related to the stakeholder's reactions to the past Soviet presence in the area and their current aims. The conclusions suggest strategies which could be helpful to strengthen the public space and classification for the autoplagiarized monument.
A Tram Ride You Would Talk About
Authors: Ianchenko Aleksandra
Published: September 2021

As an artist and junior researcher for the project “Public Transport as Public Space,” my aim is to understand atmospheres on urban public transport and the ways in which they can be changed through performative public art practice. Indefinite yet powerful, atmospheres, which emerge in the relation between a perceived environment and perceiving bodies (Böhme 2017), can be created deliberately through aesthetic work and used as a tool for shaping certain experiences and behaviors in public space (Allen 2006). For instance, visually attractive public artworks permanently integrated into the public transport environment may create atmospheres of safety and comfort, navigating passengers through this regulated public space. On the other hand, on public transport, where unacquainted people must travel shoulder to shoulder, different atmospheres emerge not only through material modifications but also through unexpected encounters and events (Bissell 2010). In this sense, performative public art interventions can intentionally “drum up the ambience” (Thibaud 2015) and imbue the atmosphere of commutes with elements that are surprising and out of the ordinary. This paper outlines some of my art projects, which aim to carefully disrupt casual rides on public transport by creating moments of strangeness and humor.
Why Alice is not in Wonderland? Countering the Militarized status quo of Cyprus
Authors: Stratis Socrates
Published: September 2021

Why Alice is not in Wonderland? Countering the militarized status quo of Cyprus is a narrative, part of the author’s diary. It is a reflection on a critical spatial practice, a performative event, titled “Alice in Meridianland… or the counter-militarization action”, part of the Buffer Fringe Performance Festival, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2019. The critical spatial practice comments on Cyprus’ actual militarization status by offering alternative urban imaginaries for the urban commons of an island without armies. It has taken place along a loop of streets and public spaces both in the north and the south parts of divided Nicosia. “Alice in Meridianland” is a camouflage tactic to conceal its anti-militaristic nature while crossing the guarded checkpoints into the city’s north part. Two tricycles, pulling 3-meter long banners, have followed the loop in opposite directions, three times. They met at designated areas and formed instant spaces of playful interaction. The narrative unpacks the entanglements between the performative event and the city’s users of the streets and public spaces. It unfolds how the event has generated new associations between the public spaces and the feelings of the participants and of the author. How it readjusted their mental maps and urban imaginaries. The narrative is a reflective tool for critical spatial practices in producing situated knowledge.
Third Way Interventions in Public Space and Urban Design
Authors: Perilla Oscar Rodrigo
Published: September 2021

As epitomized by the famous rivalry between Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses in the '60s New York, city planning and the understanding of public space has mainly oscillated between two opposing poles: the tidy and organized city planned with a top-down approach by architects using geometry to shape it, on one hand; and the messy and disorganized city, shaped with a bottom-up spirit, lacking planning, and allowing the traces of its inhabitants to take place, on the other. This article makes an analysis of the origin and nature of that opposition, putting in context different endeavors undertaken to tear it down. Going back to its Greek origin in the opposition between technē and mousikē, passing through Kant's concepts of the beautiful and the sublime, Nietzsche's opposition between the Apollonian and the Dionysian and ending up in Wölfflin's fundamental opposition between the Renaissance and the Baroque, it maps out this oscillating trend in history that favors the organized opposite full of rules in some periods, and the romantic one full of freedom in others, to provide a framework to explore endeavors that challenge those extremes in an attempt to take advantage of the benefits of both, as in 18th century picturesque, John Habraken's approach and Stan Allen's concept of infrastructural urbanism. Within this framework, it examines projects where we explore at Pontifical Xavierian University, innovative approaches to urban and public space design that empower inhabitants to shape their own city (bottom-up), whilst maintaining a sense of order and composition through designed structures (top-down) that challenge Leon Battista Alberti's foundational criterion of architectural beauty: you can neither add nor subtract any element without destroying the harmony achieved.
It’s (Red) Hot Outside! The Aesthetics of Climate Change Activists Extinction Rebellion
Authors: Coombs Gretchen
Published: September 2021

From 2011’s Occupy movements to the Umbrella Movement Hong Kong to the recent Climate March in September 2019, typified by Extinction Rebellion’s performative acts of resistance, there’s been an exponential increase in protests around the world. People move together en masse to challenge economic inequality and political ineptitude; they demand racial justice and action against climate change and Indigenous land rights. Ideally, protests and forms of direct action generate new ideas where the use of bodies in space become conduits to spark debate, bring awareness, with the hope to change the discourse about urgent issues. The visual power of many bodies speaking both to each other and to a larger public offers a space everyone can safely participate in the social imaginary. This paper considers Extinction Rebellion's graphic and performative aesthetics.
Making Space. Singapore, Artists & Art in the Public Realm
Authors: Wood Sharmila
Published: September 2021

In recent times Singaporean artists have undertaken audacious artistic performances, actions and interventions in public space, highlighting the role of artists as provocateurs of debates around public space and their engagement with issues related to ethical urbanism. Between 2010 – 2020 artists working in diverse fields of artistic practice including visual art, street art, performance art, community arts and new genre public art begun to locate their artwork in public spaces, reaching new audiences whilst forging new conversations about access, inclusion and foregrounding issues around spatial justice. In contesting public space, artists have centralized citizens in a collective discourse around building and shaping the nation. The essay documents key projects, artists and organisations undertaking artistic responses in everyday places and examines the possibility of public art in expanding concepts of ‘the public’ through actions in Singapore’s public space, and demonstrating the role of artists in civil society.
In-Between Windowscapes. A Curator’s Perspective on Collaboration as Artistic Activation in Public Spaces
Authors: Yeung Chun Wai (Wilson)
Published: September 2021

This paper emphasizes that curatorial practice and site-specific art are essential aspects of the transition from artistic collaboration to collaborative curatorial practice and discovers the new potential of ‘curator as collaborator’ practice to cultivate community-based, collaborative and engaging cultural projects in public spaces. By examining the curatorial residency of my participation in Public Space 50 at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia in 2017, this portfolio investigates how I, as a curator, explore art curation locations and methods to enable students to actively work collaboratively to plan, facilitate and produce public art projects. It asks how to turn public spaces into laboratories; how can student artists work together in public space; how to empower a creative student community through artistic collaboration and how artistic activation can be developed among creative participators of different cultures and backgrounds?
Temporary Text(iles)
Authors: Nguyen Thao
Published: September 2021

Text and textiles share etymological roots and also have cultural and historical similarities. Temporary Text(iles) is project led research which investigates the relationship between text and textiles in hopes of harnessing its communicative powers. Techniques such as subtraction cutting, embroidery and writing are utilised to produce textile installations that are both performative and ephemeral. These spatial interventions are activated within contemporary art contexts and public spaces such as Altona beach, Campbell Arcade, Testing Grounds and Assembly Point. These experimental sites offer a gentle disruption to people’s everyday routine as well as a space for critical reflection and conversation.
In this chaotic time of global grief and tension, the author commits herself to understand the connections between environmental sustainability, forced migrations and the mistreatment against marginalized communities such as refugees and asylum seekers. Temporary Text(iles) describes the different spatial interventions in the research project and analyses its effect in relation to these major social issues.
Play in Melbourne City
Authors: Griffith Suzannah
Published: September 2021

Play in Melbourne City outlines a series of playful incursions in Melbourne, Australia’s central city that hopes to act as a reminder of the potential power and influence that individual citizens have in disrupting, creating and recovering public space.
This is a practice-based exploration that uses Melbourne city as its site. Through a series of playful guerrilla theatre style incursions, the artist creates and embodies fictional characters that spontaneously appear throughout the city. Notions of the carnivalesque are harnessed through the use of masks, costumes and puppetry. Each character investigates and responds to a specific issue of spatial politics within the city, with the works importantly sitting outside of the scheduled template of gallery exhibitions and festivals.
For the conceptual framework, the artist draws on Henri Lefebvre’s ideas of the production of space and Chantal Mouffe’s ‘agonistic’ model of public space.
Monuments of Compassion
Authors: Brant Linda
Published: September 2021

The term ‘monument of compassion' is introduced to describe the essential features of the Monument To Animals We Do Not Mourn, as well as other animal monuments. Installed in Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in New York, The Monument To Animals We Do Not Mourn is unconventional in its representation of a marginalized group (farm animals), its challenge to dominant cultural narratives concerning this group, its interactivity, and its atypical location. It is an artist-driven, dialogic monument of dissent, offering cemetery visitors the opportunity to consider the suffering of farm animals in the same space that they mourn their beloved companion animals. The monument extends compassion to farm animals and affirms their value as individual beings, worthy of a full and natural life. Visitors who resonate with the monument’s message are invited to leave a stone at its base. As the stones accumulate, they will be collected and used to create another monument of compassion for typically unmourned animals.
Just Keep Going - Polyphony. Gentle Activism for Collective Survival
Authors: Kose Ryoko
Published: September 2021

This portfolio examines the possibility of my project ‘Just Keep Going’ series to nurture resilience for those experiencing uncanniness during periods of change and re-organization in the aftermath of extreme experiences. Experiences in an action-oriented non-verbal polyphony environment that prioritizes the uniqueness of a holistic self while accepting the existence of diverse individuals who are participating in collective survival could foster that resilience. My practice-led research aims to explore an expanded application of my Ikebana practice to my public Spatial Neural-Architectures while exploring a new way of understanding security, survival, and wellbeing. My research informs my art practice that includes the practices arising out of my life experience as a transnational voluntary evacuee to Australia from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan.
My portfolio shows the transformation of my artwork and my everyday life. I investigate how my art practice could offer a therapeutic experience as well as a new cultural framework by examining the methods of Open Dialogue, the Biophilia Hypothesis, Ikebana Philosophy, and Sand-play Therapy. These methods open up new possibilities for a socially engaged practice that addresses collective traumas in the midst/aftermath of global crisis and the social changes necessary for collective survival.
Treegazing. How Art and Meditation Connect Peripatetic Practices as a Form of Subtle Activism
Authors: Hesterman Heather , Hawkey Amanda
Published: September 2021

Treegazing was a public walking event held in the Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne as part of Melbourne Design Week 2020 inviting the public to lift their gaze, be mindful whilst acknowledging the garden’s aesthetic design and history. This walk created a temporary community of strangers who co-experienced the majestic arboreal canopies of trees and plants, reducing ‘plant blindness’ (Schussler & Wandersee, 1998).
Acknowledging the importance of ‘what stories are told’ and ‘making-kin’ (Haraway, 2016), this article explores collaborative visions between yoga and meditation practitioner Amanda Hawkey and artist Heather Hesterman. Investigating the dualities of silence/sound, open/enclosed, empty/busy and built/green spaces as a series of experiences. The act of mindful walking aims to connect the body to green spaces; to provide an embodied experience of nature. How might fundamental practices, as humans walking individually and together in public space be potential acts of transformation, of mindfulness, and environmental awareness - even subtle activism?
We argue that encouraging an engagement with nature via haptic and ocular modes of art practice and meditation may facilitate a deeper engagement with and/or increased appreciation for flora. Treegazing implicates the walkers to become part of a connective- fluidity that enacts the space not within as participants, witness nor viewers but offers a shared collective experience of both mobility and stillness with the landscape, a subtle activism that looks up and treads lightly to ‘conspire – with nature.’
Photographing Moments to be Seen. Edith Amituanai’s Little Publics
Authors: Stanhope Zara
Published: September 2021

The photographic work of Aotearoa New Zealand artist Edith Amituanai generates the confident self-assertion of publics that potentially shifts misperceptions of people and place for both subjects and their audiences. A belief in service, a characteristic legacy of Amituanai’s Sāmoan family background has led her to document people, particularly diverse diaspora communities, in the western suburbs of Auckland city where she also lives, and to documenting people more broadly in their neighbourhoods or personal environments. Her images have enabled largely unnoticed and hence provisional publics associated with disregarded public spaces to see themselves presented in mainstream society in art galleries, publications and social media, thereby potentially shifting the stereotypes of people and local places to aid a more complete depiction of a society beyond the dominant European settler demographic. Amituanai’s images of youth, family, cultural and interest group communities and those connected with educational institutions convey the multiple associations that connect individuals. While these associations can be aligned with Grant Kester’s concept of politically coherent communities’ or Michael Warner’s ‘counterpublics’ I argue that the people visible in Amituanai’s work or who take agency to respond to her photos are making themselves publics on their own terms, creating publics that are equal to any other public. The activation of public identity that claims shared space has occurred during the institutional exhibition of Amituanai’s images where subjects and visitors respond to photographs in demonstrations of their own agency.
Argumentación en preadolescentes: Descripción de la complejidad y profundidad en su estructura discursiva
Authors: Pérez Sandra , Crespo Nina
Published: September 2021

Entre los diversos modos discursivos, se considera a la argumentación el más complejo y, por ello, su adquisición tiene un lugar central en la oralidad tardía, es decir, aquella que tiene lugar durante la edad escolar. Se estima que durante esta etapa, el niño no solo adquiere los elementos de la argumentación, sino que también aprende a complejizarlos para cumplir sus objetivos comunicativos. En este marco, el presente trabajo es un estudio cualitativo de alcance descriptivo que examina la complejidad argumentativa de 18 preadolescentes de 11 años. Los datos se obtuvieron a partir de una tarea de dilema moral que llevó a los niños, organizados en parejas, a resolver una diferencia de opinión en el contexto de una interacción dialógica. El análisis utilizó como fuente la pragmadialéctica, en particular se enfocó en la estructura de la argumentación para observar la interconexión de argumentos al interior del discurso en distintos niveles de incrustación. Nuestros hallazgos revelan que los niños son capaces de construir y organizar un discurso argumentativo complejo. Específicamente, esto se puede visualizar en la explicitud y riqueza de los niveles de sub-argumentación que se manifiesta en su estructura argumental.
¿Cuándo decimos que un diagrama es un diagrama lógico? Un estudio comparativo
Authors: Castro-Manzano J-Martin
Published: September 2021

Aunque las ventajas representativas de los diagramas han sido ampliamente reconocidas, sus virtudes inferenciales no siempre han recibido la misma atención. Existe una tradición que sostiene que el razonamiento basado en pruebas lingüísticas es esencial en lógica y matemáticas, pero que el razonamiento basado en diagramas no lo es; sin embargo, gracias a ciertos proyectos de investigación sobre razonamiento diagramático, hoy tenemos modelos que nos ayudan a comprender de manera más precisa los conceptos de diagrama lógico e inferencia diagramática. Siguiendo algunos de los planteamientos de estos modelos, en esta contribución llevamos a cabo un estudio comparativo de diez sistemas diagramáticos en términos lógicos y representativos con el propósito de ofrecer una respuesta a la pregunta de qué es lo que hace que un diagrama sea un diagrama lógico. Nuestra respuesta preliminar es que un diagrama lógico es un diagrama dentro de un sistema diagramático que es correcto y completo con respecto a una clase de inferencias válidas dada una base deductiva. Esta definición parece ser adecuada porque nos permite incluir a aquellos sistemas de diagramas que, por sus propiedades, típicamente consideramos como diagramas lógicos bona fide, pero excluye diagramas que no solo son incorrectos o incompletos, sino aquellos que ni siquiera son inferenciales.
Gender Differential Effects of Health Status on Growth Process in sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Jemiluyi Olufunmilayo Olayemi , Adebayo Abayomi Ayinla
Published: September 2021

This study examines the gender-disaggregated effect of health status on the growth trajectory of sub-Saharan Africa region. The renewed interest in the health status – economic growth nexus stems from the increasing recognition of the importance of health and gender roles in achieving economic growth and sustainable development, particularly in the developing regions of sub-Saharan Africa characterized by poor health, gender inequality and low growth. Health status is proxy by gender-disaggregated data on life expectancy at birth. The study employs the generalized method of moment (GMM) modelling technique, and the result shows that there is gendered differences in the effect of health status on the economic growth process of sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, we find that female life expectancy is positively associated with economic growth. Thus, the study recommends that efforts aimed at promoting health wellbeing in the region should be enhanced. In particular, policies geared towards bridging the gender gap in health should be enacted and implemented.
Predicting Bank Failures with Machine Learning Algorithms: A Comparison of Boosting and Cost-Sensitive Models
Authors: SEN Safa , Figueiredo Sara Almeida de
Published: September 2021

Predicting bank failures has been an essential subject in literature due to the significance of the banks for the economic prosperity of a country. Acting as an intermediary player of the economy, banks channel funds between creditors and debtors. In that matter, banks are considered the backbone of the economies; hence, it is important to create early warning systems that identify insolvent banks from solvent ones. Thus, Insolvent banks can apply for assistance and avoid bankruptcy in financially turbulent times. In this paper, we will focus on two different machine learning disciplines: Boosting and Cost-Sensitive methods to predict bank failures. Boosting methods are widely used in the literature due to their better prediction capability. However, Cost-Sensitive Forest is relatively new to the literature and originally invented to solve imbalance problems in software defect detection. Our results show that comparing to the boosting methods, Cost-Sensitive Forest particularly classifies failed banks more accurately. Thus, we suggest using the Cost-Sensitive Forest when predicting bank failures with imbalanced datasets.

Authors: Alfauzan  , Vita Lucya
Published: September 2021

Latar belakang: Kualitas hidup merupakan suatu persepsi individu tentang kehidupannya, dalam konteks kebudayaan, norma kehidupan yang berhubungan dengan tujuan, harapan, standar dan perhatian. Kualitas hidup dipengaruhi oleh kesehatan fisik, mental, psikologi, dan hubungan sosial mereka dengan lingkungan. Pengendalian tuberkulosis  tidak hanya dalam bentuk pengobatan, namun juga memiliki keterkaitan erat dalam perubahan perilaku pasien, misalnya penderita yang merasa tertekan akan berdampak pada kondisi psikologisnya dan akhirnya akan mempengaruhi keberhasilan pengobatan yang kemudian semakin menurunkan kualitas hidup pasien. Tujuan: penelitian ini adalah untuk merangkum beberapa hasil penelitian kualitas hidup pada penderita Tuberculosis. Metode: penelitian yang digunakan yaitu literature review dengan jumlah tujuh artikel. Penilaian artikel diukur dengan menggunakan format JBI (The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools). Hasil: penelitian menunjukan bahwa kualitas hidup pada penderita Tuberculosis di Negara ASIA tergolong rendah di beberapa domain terutama pada domain fisik dan psikologi.  Kesimpulan: Kualitas hidup tuberculosis di negara asia tergolong rendah terutama pada domain fisik dan psikologi. Kualitas hidup membaik dengan fase perawatan intensif, dan pengurangan stigmatisasi harus diberikan dalam manajemen Tuberculosis untuk mengurangi tekanan psikologis. Upaya peningkatan pelayanan kesehatan  dan perhatian khusus bagi  pemerintah setempat dan paramedis untuk lebih meningkatkan kualitas hidup dari pasien diharapkan bisa menjadi upaya pengendalian Tuberculosis.

Latar Belakang. Perubahan tekanan darah dapat terjadi selama menjalani terapi hemodialisa. Perubahan dapat terjadi peningkatan atau penurunan tekanan darah.  Berdasarkan karakteristik pasien, faktor usia, Interdialityc Weight Gain (IDWG), quick of blood (QoB) dan lama hemodialisa memiliki kaitan dengan perubahan tekanan darah post hemodialisa. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan perubahan tekanan darah post hemodialisa pada pasien PGK yang menjalani hemodialisa rutin di UPTD RSUD Kabupaten Indramayu.

Metode. Jenis penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross-secsional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 123 responden yang yang dipilih berdasarkan tehnik  consecutive sampling. Instrumen peneliti menggunakan lembar observasi dan sphygmomanometer aneroid. Data dianalisis dengan uji Pearson Chi-Suare.

Hasil. Hasilnya sebanyak 108 (87,8%) mengalami perubahan tekanan darah post hemodialisa, baik mengalami penurunan maupun peningkatan, sedangkan 15 (12,2%) tidak mengalami perubahan tekanan darah (tetap). Sebanyak 64 (52%) responden mengalami penurunan tekanan darah post hemodialisa. Faktor usia (p-value = 0,604; 95% CI); IDWG (p-value = 0,144; 95% CI);  QoB (p-value = 0,767; 95% CI); dan lama menjalani hemodialisa (p-value = 0,506; 95% CI) tidak berhubung dengan perubahan tekanan danarah post hemodialisa.

Kesimpulan dan Saran. Perubahan tekanan darah post hemodialisa tidak dipengaruhi oleh faktor usia, IDWG, QoB, dan lama waktu menjalani hemodialisa. Artinya ada faktor lain yang mempengaruhi perubahan tekanan darah post hemodialisa. Saran untuk peneliti selanjutnya adalah perlu dilakukan penelitian lanjutan tentang faktor lain yang mempengaruhi perubahan tekanan darah post hemodialisa dan mendapatkan metode yang tepat untuk menemuka faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi perubahan tekanan darah post hemodialisa.
Karakterisasi Sumber Cahaya Menggunakan Spektrofotometer Vis-Nir untuk Optimasi Optical Non-Contact Speedometer
Authors: Iskandar Johan , Rahma Yunita , Andiani Sindy
Published: September 2021

Characterization the light source has been carried out using a Vis-Nir spectrophotometer with the Ocean Optics DTmini-2 model. The purpose of this characteristic is to obtain the optimum wavelength as a light source in making a digital optical non-contact speedometer model. There are 5 light sources tested, namely blue, green, yellow, red and white light. From the characterization results, the wavelengths were blue (450 nm), green (540 nm), yellow (570 nm), red (640 nm) and white (550 nm). In making the digital optical non-contact speedometer model, a photodiode sensor is used which has an absorbance peak point at 479 nm, 680, and 900 nm. The working principle of the prototype is to detect changes in light intensity as a result of the reflectance by the wheel. The sensor reads every color changes on the wheel and the results will be sent to the microcontroller for further processing. The results obtained are that the red LED is excellent to this prototype because it has the highest ADC value compared to other light sources tested. This is consistent with the results of the sensor spectrophotometer characterization.

Maternal and child health problems are inseparable from socio-cultural andenvironmental factors in society. Factors of belief and traditional knowledgepositively or negatively impact Maternal and Child Health (MCH). Culturecould be a predisposing factor for high maternal mortality. This paperdescribes Javanese culture in maternal postpartum care at HargomulyoVillage, Kedewan District, Bojonegoro Regency. This study was descriptiveresearch. It took place at Hargomulyo Village, Kedewan District, BojonegoroRegency, from January to February 2020. The population was mothers whohave experienced postpartum both primipara and multipara.
