PENYULUHAN PENGETAHUAN TENTANG TATA RUANG PUBLIK DAN BAHAYA AKAN ARUS PENDEK LISTRIK BAGI MASYARAKAT DI WILAYAH PAPANGGO, JAKARTA UTARA
Authors: Hidayat Fajri Hidayat
Published: May 2023

Salah satu bentuk kepedulian publik (masyarakat) dalam pengelolaan lingkungan hidup adalah partisipasinya dalam penataan ruang di mana mereka berada. Proses penataan tata ruang sebagai bagian dari suatu sistem publik, seringkali menghadapi kepentingan yang sangat beragam. Sudut pandang pemerintah saja dianggap tidak cukup untuk menerjemahkan proses pembangunan suatu negara di mana masyarakat juga berada di dalamnya. Oleh karena itu, partisipasi publik atau peran publik sendiri yang timbul atas kehendak dan keinginan sendiri di tengah publik untuk berminat dan bergerak dalam penataan ruang menjadi suatu keharusan. Tulisan ini disusun dengan menggunakan studi literatur, dimana penulis melakukan kajian referensi dan dokumentasi yang terkait dengan partisipasi publik (masyarakat) dalam penataan ruang, khususnya partisipasi publik dalam penataan ruang kawasan perkotaan di Indonesia. Partisipasi publik (masyarakat) dalam penataan ruang kawasan perkotaan dapat diwujudkan dalam bentuk pengajuan usul, memberi saran, atau mengajukan keberatan kepada pemerintah. Dalam mengajukan usul, memberikan saran, atau mengajukan keberatan kepada pemerintah dalam rangka penataan ruang bagian Kawasan Perkotaan dapat dilakukan melalui Focus Group Discussion dan pembentukan forum kota, yang melibatkan asosiasi profesi, media massa, LSM, lembaga formal kemasyarakatan sampai tingkat lembaga perwakilan rakyat. Begitu pula kaitannya dengan listrik rumah tangga bila tidak digunakan secara aman juga menjadi salah satu penyebab utama terjadinya kebakaran. Hal ini mengakibatkan kerusakan secara material yang cukup besar dan juga kehilangan nyawa manusia. Berdasarkan statistik dan catatan dari dinas kebakaran menyatakan bahwa penyebab utama kebakaran adalah korsleting listrik, obyek yang banyak terbakar adalah perumahan, kejadian-kejadian kebakaran tersebut dapat dikurangi hanya dengan mendidik pemakai dan tidak dihalangi dengan persediaan peraturan untuk instalasi listrik dan persediaan yang canggih, tetapi kerusakan dalam instalasi dapat mengakibatkan kebakaran, dalam artikel ini ditinjau apa penyebab kebakaran dan bagaimana dapat dicegah dengan perencanaan dan seleksi pemasangan peralatan untuk instalasi listrik.

AKSI KAMISAN: SEBUAH TINJAUAN PRAKTIS DAN TEORITIS ATAS TRANSFORMASI GERAKAN SIMBOLIK
Authors: Putra Leonardo Julius
Published: May 2023

Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk memahami proses transformasi salah satu bentuk aksi kolektif banalitas menjadi sebuah bentuk aksi simbolik tanpa mengabaikan tujuan utama gerakannya. Penelitian ini mengambil tempat di Jakarta dan Yogyakarta. Sebelum lebih jauh, harus dipetakan secara garis besar perihal aksi Kamisan di kedua kota tersebut. Pertama, aksi Kamisan di Jakarta menyoal pengusutan secara tuntas kasus-kasus kejahatan HAM masa lalu dengan sasaran mendesak Presiden mengeluarkan Keppres pembentukan HAM ad hoc, meski dalam aksi di depan Istana itu jamak kasus pelanggaran HAM di masa demokrasi yang diusung, hal itu sebatas manifestasi partisipasi dari transitory teams dan conscience constituency, kasus-kasus yang bukan permasalahan HAM berat masa lalu selalu silih berganti, namun kasus-kasus kunci yang melibatkan petinggi militer di masa lalu tetap bernilai tinggi untuk selalu diwacanakan. Kedua, berbeda dengan aksi Kamisan di Jakarta, gerakan simbolik di luar kota Jakarta sengaja diinisiasi dan dimobilisasi untuk sekedar menggugat ingatan kolektif masyarakat terhadap isu-isu kemanusiaan. Babak akhir, proses penelitian ini mengarahkan penarikan kesimpulan pada ketidakoptimalan penggunaan strategi aksi banalitas untuk mencapai tujuan gerakan yang kondisi (status quo) semakin diperburuk dengan ketiadaan political will dari elit-elit politik untuk mengakomodir tuntutan para korban/keluarga korban kejahatan HAM masa lalu. Keyakinan dengan capaian tujuan gerakan seperti yang ditorehkan para the Mothers di Argentina mulai rapuh dari para pelaku aksi Kamisan. Strategi melawan Negara dan pertaruhan kemampuan mempolitisasi isu kejahatan HAM masa lalu sedang dalam ujian yang bergerak dinamis: terkadang mencerahkan, terkadang juga memutus asa.
IDENTITAS AGAMA DAN SUKU MASYARAKAT ADAT PASCA KONFLIK BERDARAH DI HALMAHERA UTARA
Authors: Djurubassa Gloria Miagina
Published: May 2023

Tragedi berdarah di Halmahera Utara seharusnya merupakan catatan kritis bangsa Indonesia, karena jika konflik terus terjadi maka peluang untuk melahirkan disintegrasi bangsa semakin besar. Hal ini mempengaruhi seluruh aspek kehidupan masyarakat seperti ideologi politik, agama, ekonomi, dan sosial budaya. Perdamaian sesudah konflik di Halmahera Utara menyisahkan persoalan tersendiri bagi masyarakat dalam komunitas Kristen dan komunitas Islam. Sebagai sebuah persekutuan  yang dibangun dalam ikatan kekerabatan dan keyakinan terhadap kuatnya ikatan  yang melampaui sekat agama yang di anut, konflik yang telah terjadi memberikan bukti tertentu bahwa ikatan kekerabatan tersebut tidak cukup kuat dalam mengatasi perbedaan yang disebabkan oleh agama yang dianut oleh masyarakat
FEMINISME DAN KETAHANAN BUDAYA PEREMPUAN INDONESIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF ORGANISASI ISLAM WANITA (Studi pada Pimpinan Pusat Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah Periode 2012-2016)
Authors: Adiwilaga Rendy
Published: May 2023

Tulisan ini merupakan hasil penelitian mengenai posisi gerakan organisasi keputrian Islam yang di wakilkan Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah dalam menyikapi isu feminisme, serta Implikasinya terhadap ketahanan budaya, khususnya budaya perempuan Indonesia. Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi maraknya isu kekerasan terhadap perempuan Indonesia serta stagnansi perbaikan nasib perempuan itu sendiri. Selain itu penelitian ini juga di latarbelakangi oleh sebuah pertanyaan besar, yakni bagaimana Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah sebagai organisasi keputrian Islam menyikapi ideologi luar yang disinyalir telah mampu memecah pemikiran kader ke dalam golongan-golongan yang berbeda. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti menggunakan teori organisasi dan tiga teori feminisme sebagai pisau analisis. Yakni feminisme liberal, feminisme sosialis-Marxis, dan feminisme radikal. Substansi dari ketiga teori tersebut ialah pembebasan perempuan yang harus dicapai melalui kemandirian dan penghancuran dominasi laki-laki dalam sektor domestik dan publik. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penulisan penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian kualitatif studi kasus. Hasil penelitian dan pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa bentuk utama dari Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah sendiri yakni didorongnya kemandirian perempuan, advokasi perempuan sebagai nilai perjuangan utama, pendidikan sebagai landasan gerakan, serta kader multitasking sebagai identitas gerakan. Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah juga memiliki kesamaan dengan dasar perjuangan kaum feminis liberal, hanya saja banyak kontradiksi dengan kaum feminis radikal yang bernegasi pada lembaga perkawinan dan agama. Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah juga memiliki kemiripan perjuangan dengan kaum feminis sosialis-Marxis. Beberapa poin yang mengganggu ketahanan budaya ialah feminisme menganggap campur tangan agama sebagai penghambat perempuan, laki-laki sebagai pesaing perempuan, pemakluman lesbianisme, kecurigaan pada lembaga perkawinan, serta adanya impian tentang dominasi perempuan di masa depan

Public debt of Ukraine: Essence, current trends and management
Authors: Samus Hanna , Tsyhanenko Olena , Medvid Alina
Published: May 2023

At the present stage of the market economy, in the conditions of rapid development of globalisation and cooperation of states in political, economic, and social aspects, public debt is an objectively determined phenomenon, it is an integral part of the country’s financial system. Nowadays, Ukraine is in a difficult situation caused by the outbreak of a large-scale war with russia, which is one of the main reasons for the existence of the public debt. Due to the insufficient amount of monetary resources in the budget, the state is forced to attract financial resources in order to perform its functions. The purpose of this study was to substantiate the theoretical essence of public debt, analyse current trends in the generation of public debt, and identify optimisation ways for effective public debt management in order to reduce it. The authors used the following scientific methods: empirical (description and comparison), theoretical (analysis, synthesis, and generalisation), and statistical. The study considers the essence of public debt according to the views of foreign and Ukrainian researchers. Based on statistical data, the current state of the public debt of Ukraine is characterised, and the dynamics of the public and government-backed debt for the period 2019-2022 are analysed. The volume of expenditures on repayment and servicing of the public debt of Ukraine is analysed. Based on the conducted research, the main reasons for the presence and growth of debt were identified, including the COVID-19 epidemic and the beginning of armed aggression on the part of russia; a decrease in the exchange rate of the national currency; a decline in production and a reduction in tax revenues; a decrease in the volume of the gross domestic product in real terms; a state budget deficit and a negative balance of payments; an increase in spending on ensuring the country’s defenсe capability and servicing public debt. The proposed recommendations would reduce the country’s public debt and increase the competitiveness of the economy at the world level, namely: increase the level of GDP, stimulate the development of small and medium-sized businesses to increase tax revenues to the budget, develop an effective strategy for managing public debt, etc.
Criminal economy of Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia: Structure, intersection points, profitability assessment
Authors: Vilks Andrejs , Kipāne Aldona
Published: May 2023

The spread of the criminal economy is the biggest problem in the global financial environment. Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia are characterised by a fairly high level of economic crime. In these countries, criminal economic activity flourishes, which reduces the social development of states and spreads unemployment and poverty in their territories. That is why the issue of the criminal economy of Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia and the specifics of the structure, intersection points, and assessment of the level of profitability in these countries is quite relevant. It is in these areas that the problem of developing the criminal economy is poorly regulated and along with criminal activities there is a problem of poverty and the presence of military conflicts. That is why the purpose of this study is to investigate and generalise aspects of the criminal economy of Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia, and to determine the features of its structure, intersection points, and assessment of the level of profitability. Theoretical methods were used during the study – analysis and synthesis. In particular, it was determined that the intersection points of the criminal economies of Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia are focused on the activities of the transnational criminal organisation National Liberation Army. It is established that the main structural elements of the criminal economy in cooperation in these countries are drug trafficking, fuel smuggling, illegal gold mining, prostitution, and human trafficking. The assessment of the level of profitability showed that the countries under study are disadvantageous, which is explained by the presence of a high level of criminal economy. Based on the results of the study, measures were developed and proposed to combat the criminal economy in relation to the intersection points in Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia. It is determined that the main areas for reducing the level of the criminal economy should be measures aimed at combating the transnational criminal group – the National Liberation Army, actions to eliminate businesses for the production and sale of drugs, fuel smuggling, prostitution, and human trafficking in the territory of the considered countries. Thus, the practical significance of the study is that the identified measures to combat the criminal economy can be used in Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia to improve the social situation in these countries and raise the standard of living in these areas

Authors: Xiangqing Yang and Yali Hang Xiangqing Yang and Yali Hang
Published: May 2023

A new type of β-cyclodextrin-modified hyperbranched carbosilane (β-CD@HBC) stationary phase was synthesized by combining hyperbranched carbosilane with the -OH group of β-cyclodextrin, and then the β-CD@HBC was used as astationary phase to fix it on the inner wall of capillary column, application in chiral drug separation. The chromatographic behaviour of the stationary phase was studied. The preliminary test results showed that the β-CD@HBC coated OT column has the ability to separate a variety of enantiomers, such as clenbuterol, ibuprofen, enrofloxacin, hlorpheniramine, isoproterenol hydrochloride, epinephrine, Phenylalanine, and Ketoprofen. The β-CD@HBC coated OT column has good repeatability and stability. The relative standard deviations (RSD) between runs, between days, and between columns were less than 1.5%, 1.86%, and 4.83%, respectively. This paper shows that hyperbranched polymers have great potential and advantages in the application of capillary electrochromatography for chiral separation.

Authors: J.O. Oshiotse , E.O. Omamomo
Published: May 2023

This study investigated Gender and Information Seeking Behaviour of Cataloguers in University Libraries in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey method and questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The population of this study consisted of fifty-two (52) cataloguers in all the university libraries in Edo and Delta States. The population of this study is relatively small and as such the entire population was used as the representative sample using purposeful sampling techniques. The researchers visited the sample institutions to administer the questionnaire. It was revealed from the study that male cataloguers often use list of subject headings compared to their female counterparts. Both sexes very often and often use classification schemes respectively in the process of performing their duties. Findings also show that there are more males cataloguers compared to females. Males and females cataloguers very often and often use Anglo-American Cataloguing Rule 2nd edition. The finding indicates that there is more female’s percentage in the use of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rule 2nd edition (AACR11) in the process of performing their task. The study also reveals that authority file is the least tool used by both sexes of cataloguers in the process of performing their duties. From the study, it is obvious that a majority of both male and female cataloguers consult the university’s main library when they are seeking for information. The study recommended that universities’ and libraries’ management should enact policies mandating cataloguers to be attending seminars, conferences and workshops because these are avenue where ideas can be shared on the advancement of their professional duties such as cataloguing and classification.

Published: May 2023

Background: The variation in collimator angles in the Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) has been a factor of consideration in modern radiotherapy techniques for the treatment of cancer. Aim: To investigate dose-volume evaluation in planning target volume (PTV) and organs-at-risk (OARs) in prostate carcinoma patients planned with 1.5 arcs for different collimator angles. Methods: The collimator angle plays a vital role in VMAT planning due to leakage of radiation from the leaves of multi-leaf collimator (MLCs). Using the same optimization parameters on designated treatment planning system (TPS), the arcs of VMAT plans were optimized with 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°, and 90°, and 0°, 350°, 340°, 330°, 315° and 270° collimator angles. Different parameters like homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI), gradient index (GI), monitoring units (MUs), low dose coverage (V40Gy), maximum dose (Dmax), mean dose (Dmean), dose-volume histogram (DVH), D98%, D95%, etc. were calculated with Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm (AAA) Version 15.6.04 and results were analyzed. Results: It was found that at 20°, 30° and 45° collimator angles, the dose conformity, homogeneity, and MUs have optimal values. The target coverage and dose to organ at risks at all angles is not significantly affected by different collimator angles. Conclusion: According to this study it is advised to clinical medical physicists to make a solid decision about the collimator angles for treatment.

Aim: To compare the outcome of 8 hours versus 24 hours postpartum magnesium sulphate for eclampsia prophylaxis in women with moderate to severe pre-eclampsia. Study design: Randomized control trial Place and duration of study: The study was conducted in Gynecology and Obstetrics Department, MCH -1, PIMS Hospital, Islamabad from August 2020- Jan 2021 Methodology: After getting approval from hospital ethical committee and informed consent from patients the randomized controlled trial was conducted. The sample size was calculated by using WHO sample size calculator and total sample size was 108 patients that were selected after fulfilling of selection criteria. Complete history, physical examination, laboratory investigations and sonographical evaluation was performed for the selected women. The selected women were randomly assigned to either group A or B using a random list developed by lottery method. Group A received MgSO4 for 8 hour (8micro drops/min) and Group B received MgSO4 for 24 hours only (8micro drops/min). The primary outcome was occurrence of eclamptic fits and secondary outcomes were ambulation time, initiation of breast feeding, patient’s hospital stay and patient satisfaction in both groups. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21.0. P-value <0.05 was considered significant Results: Women in both groups had similar demographic profile. Baseline patients’ characteristics (systolic BP, diastolic BP, Hb, ALT and uric acid, urinary protein) were also similar in both groups. Main symptoms were headache, blurred vision and epigastric pain in both groups Eclamptic fits in the first 72 hours were not observed in both groups. In group A patients, mean ambulation time was 10.6±1.1 hours and in group B it was 18.8±7.5 hours (P=0.001). In group A patients, mean time to initiate breast feeding was 14.6 ± 1.9 hours and in group B it was 24.3±8.3 hours (P=0.001). In group A patients, mean duration of hospital stay was 2.8±0.43 days and in group B it was 3.4±0.49 days (P=0.001). In group A patients, mean patient satisfaction score was 8.9±1.1 and in group B it was 4.5±1.8 (P=0.001). Clinical implication:Less risk of side effects observed and less monitoring required. Conclusion:Both the dosing regimens were equally effective and eclamptic fits in the first 72 hours were not observed in both groups. Mean ambulation time, mean time to initiate breastfeeding and mean duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in patient treated with MgSO4 for 8 hours compared to those treated with MgSO4 for 24 hours. Patients treated with MgSO4 for 8 hours demonstrated better satisfaction when compared to those treated with MgSO4 for 24 hours.

Background: Mechanical low back pain is the pain caused by natural vulnerability of the spine to static loads owing to muscular and gravity forces, as well as pain that is caused by kinetic deviation from normal physiology. Positional release technique, commonly known as strain counterstrain (SCS), is a passive positional therapy that uses indirect hand manipulation to reduce musculoskeletal discomfort and dysfunction. Aim: To compare the effects of positional release therapy and deep transverse friction massage on lumbar pain, lumbar range of motion and disability among patients with mechanical low back pain Methods: After getting ethical approval from the University of Faisalabad, 40 male and female mechanical low back pain patients aging 20-40 years, having at least one trigger point in the iliopsoas muscle on the anterior lumbar aspect were recruited in the study bu purposive sampling, and were randomly allocated into 2 groups by means of lottery method. The outcome measures were assessed at three different occasions i.e. baseline, 2nd week and 4th week. The numeric pain rating scale for lumbar pain, goniometry for lumbar range of motion and oswestry disability scale for lumbar disability were used in the study. Results: A total of 40 participants were included of which 57.5 % were male and 42.5% were females. The mean age was 30.37±6.01 years, mean BMI was 24.94 ± 3.64. 2 participants from positional release group and 1 from deep transverse friction massage were dropped out. NPRS showed 3.27 and 3.05 decrease, lumbar flexion showed 11.28 and 11.42 degrees increase, lumbar extension showed 4.9 and 4.94 degrees increase and ODI showed 14.53 and 14.78 points decrease in positional release technique and deep transverse friction massage, respectively. Conclusion: Both the techniques produced significant results in reducing lumbar pain, the lumbar disability and improving lumbar range of motion in their respective group, but none of them proved to be superior to other in between group comparison. Keywords: Deep Transverse Friction Massage; Mechanical Low Back Pain; NPRS; Positional Release Technique.

Published: May 2023

This article aims to problematize the place that the “other” occupies in school spaces, considered as inclusive. The objective is to understand the cultural and social conditions that outlined the standardization and, consequently, the exclusion of all forms of difference. This is an exploratory descriptive study with an analysis based on a qualitative approach. Data were collected from interviews with a semi-structured script applied to seven subjects, six from basic education and one from higher education. The field was the Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA) of a Basic Education school and the Nucleus of Inclusive Special Education in higher education. The results indicate that the “other” is seen as an “evil alterity” created from the standardization between normal and abnormal in opposition to human diversity as an expression of concrete alterity

Authors: Montoya Michelle , Sanchez Rivera Isby M.
Published: May 2023

Los implantes dentales son diseños utilizados para sustituir la raíz que falta y mantener el diente artificial en su sitio. Habitualmente tiene forma roscada y está fabricado con materiales biocompatibles que no producen reacción de rechazo y permiten su unión al hueso. La superficie del implante puede presentar diferentes texturas y recubrimientos, utilizadas habitualmente para aumentar su adhesión al hueso. El objetivo es demostrar basado en la evidencia científica que la colocación de implantes dentales en pacientes con compromiso cardiovascular puede ser seguro, siempre y cuando se sigan protocolos específicos para el cuidado y prevención de cualquier complicación. La literatura nos demuestra que la tasa de éxito de los implantes dentales es la misma en paciente con o sin compromiso sistémico por lo que se considera una opción para este tipo de pacientes. Caso: paciente femenina de 61 años de edad, con múltiples compromisos sistémicos, específicamente cardiovascular y con motivo de consulta reemplazar dientes perdidos por medio de la colocación de implantes múltiples. Se realizó historia clínica, análisis clínico y radiográfico e interconsulta con el especialista cardiovascular para seguir con los protocolos pre-quirúrgicos y posquirúrgicos adecuados a la paciente. En el abordaje quirúrgico se realizó una exodoncia y la colocación de seis implantes dentales sin ninguna complicación antes, durante y después del procedimiento. Por lo que se puede ver en este caso que si es un tratamiento viable para pacientes con este tipo de compromiso sistemico.

A REFORMA DO ENSINO MÉDIO E OS POSSÍVEIS IMPACTOS NO INSTITUTO FEDERAL DO PARANÁ
Authors: Souza Bianca Gomes de , Garcia Sandra Regina de Oliveira
Published: May 2023

O artigo analisa a Reforma do Ensino Médio (Lei 13.145/17) buscando compreender os possíveis impactos na educação brasileira, especificamente no Instituto Federal do Paraná (IFPR), apontando as divergências entre a lei 13.425/17 e os documentos em vigor que regem o Ensino Médio nessa instituição. Por meio de análise bibliográfica e pesquisa documental, buscou-se subsídio teórico em pesquisas que tratam do Ensino Médio no Brasil, em análises já realizadas da lei e em leis e documentos produzidos em nível nacional e estadual acerca do Novo Ensino Médio. Destaca-se que até o momento não houve efetivação da reforma no IFPR, mas que há movimentos de resistência sendo manifestados. Evidencia-se que a reforma fragmenta a educação e se distancia da formação contextualizada que concilia conhecimentos técnicos e científicos, contradizendo a identidade dos Institutos, cujo principal objetivo é a formação integral.
CONTORNOS NEOLIBERAIS NO NOVO SAEB
Authors: Stoffels Fábio , Carvalhaes Wesley Luis
Published: May 2023

Este estudo discute a constituição do novo Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica (Saeb), proposto pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC) em 2021. Para isso, a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, serão descritas as intencionalidades das avaliações e as modificações que ocorreram nos instrumentos avaliativos de acordo com os fundamentos e com as necessidades de cada tempo histórico. Por fim, a partir de uma análise documental, serão analisadas as mudanças no Saeb apresentadas na portaria nº. 10 do MEC e seu alinhamento com a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Percebe-se que a nova proposta avaliativa do Governo Federal apresenta um acirramento de tendências neoliberais como controle e responsabilização das instituições de educação básica no Brasil.
