The International Journal of Role-Playing is a response to a growing need for a place where the varied and wonderful fields of role-playing research and development, covering academia, the industry and the arts, can exchange knowledge and research, form networks and communicate."The Many Faces of Role-Playing Games," Michael Hitchens and Anders Drachen
By examining a range of role-playing games some common features of them emerge. This results in a definition that is more successful then previous ones at identifying both what is, and what is not, a role-playing game.
"The Invisible Rules of Role-Playing: The Social Framework of Role-Playing Process," Markus Montola
This paper looks at the process of role-playing that takes place in various games. Role-play is a social activity, where three elements are always present: An imaginary game world, a power structure and personified player characters.
"Roles and Worlds in the Hybrid RPG Game of Oblivion," Erik Champion
Single player games are now powerful enough to convey the impression of shared worlds with social presence and social agency. This paper explores a framework for defining virtual worlds.
"Seeking Fulfillment: Comparing Role-Play In Table-top Gaming and World of Warcraft," Jason Pittman and Christopher Paul
Through ethnographic research and a survey of World of Warcraft (WoW) players, this study assess the relative fulfillment and frequency of online and offline role-playing for WoW players.
"A Hermeneutical Approach to Role-Playing Analysis,"  J. Tuomas Harviainen
This is an article about viewing role-playing games and role-playing game theory from a hermeneutical standpoint. In other words, it presents one view on how a role-playing situation can be seen as a set of texts.
A Reparative Play in Dungeons & Dragons
Authors: Femia Giuseppe
Published: May 2023

This article examines the creation of queer rhetoric through role-play to find the reparative value that Dungeons & Dragons (1974-) can potentially provide the queer communities. My work focuses on the concept of reparative play, an adaptation of reparative reading which was first proposed by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick in 1995 (Sedgwick 2003). Reparative reading explores alternatives to heteronormative ideals through the act of reading. Instead of getting caught up in the problematic implications of a text, the alternatives are foregrounded (Sedgwick 2003, 137). Reparative play then expands reparative reading into the realm of play, where one explores the possibility for a sustainable queer livelihood through play (Vist 2018). I conclude with an observation of safety tools designed for tabletop RPGs, that enable reparative play.This work will be posited alongside an autoethnographic reflection of my own role-play experience as a means of demonstrating reparative play in practice. My work is founded on Sedgwick’s (2003) Touching Feeling, Kara Stone’s (2018) “Time and Reparative Game Design,” and Sarah Lynne Bowman’s (2010) The Functions of Role-Playing Games. These scholars observe role-play as a method of queer performativity and identity exploration. I propose that through the embodiment of a D&D character, set in a more accepting world, the players can enact reparative play to give an accurate and positive representation of themselves while promoting alternatives to heteronormative culture.
Playing House in a World of Night: Discursive Trajectories of Masculinity in a Tabletop Role-playing Game
Authors: White William J.
Published: May 2023

This study uses excerpts from the transcript of a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) session to examine how male players enact ideas about masculinity. The game is a non-traditional, small-press “indie” game called Ganakagok designed by the author; in the game, the characters are men and women from a quasi-Inuit culture living on an island of ice in a world lit only by starlight. As the game begins, the imminent arrival of the Sun is announced, and game-play is about how the people of this culture deal with the approaching dawn. In one such game, the players of three male characters went through interesting character arcs in their interactions with each other and with female players; those arcs seemed to depict movement among different models of masculine identity. One implication of the study is that RPGs afford a fruitful site for reflecting upon ideas in discourse, and so it is possible for role-playing to serve as an aesthetic as well as an expressive medium—as art as well as play, in other words.

Cognitive Intervention and Reconciliation - NPC Believability in Single-Player RPGs
Authors: Lee Michael Sangyeob , Heeter Carrie
Published: May 2023

Characters in single role-playing games are often lacking plausibility. This is especially the case with Non Player Characters (NPCs) in single-player role-playing games. It does not take long for game players to sense that NPC behaviors are limited and improbable. Computer scientists working on Artificial Intelligence have recognized the importance of believable characters. However, studies of NPC believability in single-player RPGs have been relatively rare since the definition of believability has different meanings in different fields of studies. In this article, a new definition of NPC believability is suggested. This definition is based on theoretical frames, which offer diverse definitions of believability. Several suggestions on making believable NPC are addressed.
We Need to Talk - A Literature Review of Debrief
Authors: Atwater Brodie
Published: May 2023

This literature review consults the diverse academic definitions of debriefing to give context to larp debriefs. Among the many concepts for debriefing, simulation learning and psychological debriefing are explored to show lessons and precedents. Simulation debriefs emphasize learning and a transition from the affective to the cognitive, which can inform how larp debriefs engage with content. The concepts of fidelity and authenticity, along with tripartite learning within simulations, are invoked to show similarities and potential growth for larp debriefs. Psychological debriefing has mixed results, but reviewing the literature shows that psychological debrief practice within research has been functionally dissimilar to larp debrief. Discourse already surrounding psychological debrief has questioned the research methods and results of previous studies, making generalization to larp debriefs inappropriate. Larp-specific debriefs are considered non-therapeutic transitional tools for moving between perspectives and reinstalling the social reality suspended during play. Its counterpart, workshopping, is considered important to creating the necessary context for debriefing. Larp debriefs have the potential to become a vector for the therapeutic work through larping. The article advocates for responsible content creation despite using debrief as a transitional tool, as no evidence suggests that debriefing makes larping safer.

Published: May 2023

: Teachers as educators have an important role in determining the success of the teaching and learning process. Meanwhile, the learning model serves as a guide for teachers in carrying out the teaching and learning process. In choosing a learning model, it is determined by the level of student ability, the material to be taught, and also the goals to be achieved. In addition, each learning model has stages that students must know from the guidance provided by the teacher. The use of learning models that are appropriate to the situation and conditions will certainly have an impact on the sustainability of teaching and learning activities in the classroom. Based on the description of the previous data analysis table, both the control and experimental classes showed a fairly good increase. However, the average score is still far from the expectations and desired achievements. Thus, in teaching and learning activities that are carried out, it is very necessary to have a comprehensive planning and process for various factors and possibilities that can hinder or support the achievement of better learning in the future. Thus, it can be explained that gaps in learning can occur due to the conditions and timing of activities that have not been able to be optimized properly. Students are not only the cause but also the impact on the success of a teacher in carrying out teaching and learning activities. Therefore, encouraging students to study harder and harder can be appreciated through academic and intellectual activities and interactions, not only limited to the school's vision, mission, and goals

: This research is historical research with the theme of women's history which examines the involvement, role, and contribution of women in the non-formal economic sector, namely those who become culinary traders in the Tanggo Rajo Ancol Tourism Area, Jambi. Meanwhile, the research method is historical method by following the stages of heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The conclusions of the research show that women who become culinary traders in this tourist area successfully carry out their dual roles both in the domestic, household and public sectors. In the domestic sector, they have succeeded in acting as housewives who take care of and serve the needs of their husbands and children, while in the public sector they can generate their own money from selling various kinds of culinary delights in the Tanggo Rajo Ancol Tourism Area, Jambi. The findings of the study show that women culinary traders in the Tanggo Rajo Ancol Tourism Area, Jambi, have been selling for decades before the area became known as a tourist area. Furthermore, it is known that the income of culinary traders will increase compared to their daily income if it coincides with important moments such as school holidays, the month of Ramadan, holidays, celebrations of the Indonesian Independence Day and Jambi Province Anniversary, and festivals with cultural nuances. Next, culinary traders in the Tanggo Rajo Ancol Jambi Tourism Area are concentrated in two locations, namely under the Gentala Arasy Bridge to the Tanggo Rajo Gate and from the Jambi Police Chief's House to Kasang Port / Pasir Harbor

King operators which preserve $x^j$
Authors: Fınta Zoltán
Published: May 2023

We prove the unique existence of the functions $r_n$ $(n=1,2,\ldots )$ on $[0,1]$ such that the corresponding sequence of King operators approximates each continuous function on $[0,1]$ and preserves the functions $e_0(x)=1$ and $e_j(x)=x^j$, where $j\in\{ 2,3,\ldots\}$ is fixed. We establish the essential properties of $r_n$, and the rate of convergence of the new sequence of King operators will be estimated by the usual modulus of continuity. Finally, we show that the introduced operators are not polynomial and we obtain quantitative Voronovskaja type theorems for these operators.

Malignant transformation of chronic trophic ulcers in leprosy is not rare as it had been considered to be in the past. We described a case of a 77-year-old man diagnosed with lepromatous leprosy (LL) fiftyeight years ago, and skin ulcer initially occurred on the sole of his right foot because of neurovascular dystrophic and had been existing during the last five decades, which had gradually grown into a “cauliflower-like” tumor with mild pain and spontaneous bleeding over last 3 years. No improvement was achieved after oral antibiotic and topical treatment. The patient underwent tumor excision and four toes amputation after the diagnosis of verrucous carcinoma based on lesion histopathologic examination. After 1year follow-up, no metastasis was found.

Background: Metacarpophalangeal dislocation is a rare condition in traumatology, and its management remains unclear due to the limited number of reported cases and studies. This study aims to compare our approach and outcomes with those reported in the literature, to gain a better understanding of the variability in management and outcomes across different cases and settings. Case report: Here, we present the case of a 32-year-old male patient who sustained palmar metacarpophalangeal dislocation following a traffic accident. The diagnosis was confirmed through hand X-ray, and we successfully performed reduction under locoregional anesthesia using external maneuvers. Early rehabilitation was initiated, and the patient had a satisfactory 6-month follow-up result, with full recovery of joint amplitudes and comparable pinch strength. Discussion: It appears that several mechanisms can lead to this condition, and diagnosis is typically made through radiography or MRI. Closed reduction by external maneuvers is often successful, but surgery may be necessary in cases of irreducibility or instability. Different surgical approaches may be used depending on the specific type of dislocation, with the dorsal approach being preferred for hyperflexion dislocations and the palmar approach being preferred for hyperextension dislocations or cases with an unknown mechanism. Conclusion: More research is needed to better understand this rare condition and its optimal management.
Chapter 1: A short history of TBE
Authors: Kahl Olaf , Pogodina Vanda V. , Poponnikova Tatjana , Süss Jochen , Zlobin Vladimir I.
Published: May 2023

TBE virus is a flavivirus and a prominent tick-borne human pathogen occurring in parts of Asia and Europe. The virus was discovered by Lev A. Zilber and co-workers in the former USSR during an expedition in the Far Eastern taiga under the most difficult conditions in 1937. They and members of a second expedition under the leadership of the Academician Evgeny N. Pavlovsky 1938 elucidated the basic eco-epidemiology of the virus. In their natural foci, TBE virus circulates between vectors, certain ixodid ticks, and some of their hosts, so-called reservoir hosts, mostly small mammals. Five different subtypes of TBE virus have been described to date.
TBE in Germany
Authors: Dobler Gerhard , Mackenstedt Ute
Published: May 2023

The beginning of research on TBE in Germany was influenced and inspired by the results and developments of TBE research in the former Czechoslovakia. There, TBE virus was detected in the Czechoslovak Republic in 1948. In Germany, the first evidence of the presence of TBE virus was found by Sinnecker and his group in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). The first virus strains were isolated also by Sinnecker’s group in the early 1960s. In the former Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) TBE research started with research on TBE virus in the region of Franconia by Scheid and Ackermann. In the region of Lower Franconia a virus was isolated which was called “Zimmern Virus” after the location of the isolation. Unfortunately, all these virus strains were lost but it can be assumed that they all belonged to the Western (European) subtype of TBE virus.
TBE in Japan
Authors: Yoshii Kentaro
Published: May 2023

In Japan the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), one of mosquito-borne flaviviruses, has been widely endemic on the main and on the southern islands with more than 1,000 Japanese encephalitis (JE) cases reported annually in the late 1960s. In contrast, until 1993, no TBE case had ever been reported and it was considered that there was no endemic focus of TBEV.
TBE in the Netherlands

Published: May 2023

Until 2015, tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) was presumed not to be endemic in the Netherlands. Consequently, the number of diagnostic requests for detection of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) infection had been low. Between 2006 and 2015, the laboratory of the Netherlands Centre of Infectious Disease Control (Clb), 1 of the 2 laboratories that performed TBEV diagnostics in the Netherlands at the time, received an average of 20 (range 12–27) requests for TBE diagnostics per year. In the same period, TBE was diagnosed in 7 Dutch patients. All of these cases were considered to be travel-related. Indeed, 6 out of 7 patients reported that they had recently travelled to TBEV-endemic countries such as Austria (4), Germany (1), and Sweden (1).
TBE in Serbia
Authors: Petrović Vladimir , Ristanović Elizabeta , Potkonjak Aleksandar
Published: May 2023

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) was first isolated in the former Yugoslavia in 1953 from the blood of infected human patients in Slovenia. The virus was isolated from ticks in 1954, also in Slovenia. Thereafter a number of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) foci were registered in the western part of the country, while in the Republic of Serbia such foci were not registered. In the period following 1969, no new infections with TBEV could be confirmed in the Republic of Serbia through the routine serological testing of samples from more than 1,000 patients with clinical signs of meningitis and encephalitis, as conducted in laboratories of the Institute of Immunobiology and Virology “Torlak” in Belgrade.
TBE in Slovakia

The former Czechoslovak Republic was one of the first countries in Europe where the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) was identified. This discovery was made in 1947, when Rampas and Gallia observed a high incidence of disease identified as “Czechoslovakia encephalitis”, and TBEV was isolated from Ixodes ricinus.
TBE in Slovenia

Published: May 2023

TBE is endemic in Slovenia, and the incidence rate is one of the highest in the EU. In Slovenia, TBE virus was confirmed for the first time in 1953 with isolation of the virus from a patient’s blood. In 1955, the virus was isolated from a tick Ixodes ricinus.
TBE in South Korea
Authors: Song Joon Young
Published: May 2023

Although no human case of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has been documented in South Korea to date, surveillance studies have been conducted to evaluate the prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in wild ticks. Four studies collected ticks by dragging or flagging in grassland and forest, while 1 study tested wild mammals (boars and rodents) by removing ticks from them. In the wild of South Korea, Haemaphysalis spp. were the predominant species found by tick dragging, while Ixodes nipponensis became predominant when harvested from small mammals.
TBE in Tunisia
Authors: Zhioua Elyes
Published: May 2023

Ixodes ricinus is principally located in oak forests, in humid to semi-humid microclimatic zones in Northwestern Tunisia. While I. ricinus is considered the main vector of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in Europe, no reports concerning this arbovirus have been reported from North African countries. To date no human cases of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) have been reported in Tunisia.
TBE in Denmark
Authors: Fomsgaard Anders
Published: May 2023

Since the 1950s, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has been known to be endemic in Denmark but only on the island of Bornholm. Bornholm is situated east of mainland Denmark, south of Sweden (Figure 3) and has a different fauna and flora from the rest of Denmark. Bornholm has about 45,000 inhabitants, but about 500,000 tourists visit the island every year. Freundt carried out a serosurvey during 1958–1962 and found TBE antibodies in 1.4% of blood donors and 30% of woodworkers on Bornholm but no antibodies in subjects living in mainland Denmark. In 1963, Freundt found that 8 of 12 patients admitted to the hospital with acute meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology during 1951–1960 had antibodies to tick-borne encephalitis (TBEV). In 2000, TBE was rediscovered on Bornholm, where a retrospective study covering the period 1994–2002 (7 years) identified 14 TBE cases; 2 cases were tourists and 12 were inhabitants of Bornholm, giving an incidence of 3.81 per 100,000 inhabitants. At least 5 patients (37.7%) got permanent sequelae. In addition, 32 forest workers on Bornholm were tested in 2000, and 20% had IgG antibodies but never symptoms. This is similar to the finding of Freundt in 1960. It was concluded that the data did not provide evidence of an increase in incidence of TBE. Ticks (Ixodes ricinus) from Bornholm were investigated for TBEV in 2000 and 2% were found to be infected. Since 2001 an average of 2.5 (range 1–8) TBE cases per year have been reported in Bornholm (Figure 1).
Chapter 6: TBE in children
Authors: Veje Malin , Sundin Mikael
Published: May 2023

Most cases of TBE in childhood will present similarly as in adults. However, a more diffuse clinical picture is seen especially in preschool children.
Laboratory evaluation may show elevated blood inflammatory indices, but cerebrospinal fluid analysis and anti-TBEV serology are needed for establishing the diagnosis.
There is no specific treatment for TBE; supportive care needs to be provided based on the individual clinical course.
The mortality in pediatric TBE is very low but severe courses have been reported in a fraction of the children.
Long-term somatic residua exist, but are uncommon (2%) in childhood TBE. Yet, long-term symptoms and neurodevelopmental/cognitive deficits are seen in 10–40% of infected children.
Protective immunity can be elicited in children by TBE vaccines as of 1 year of age.
A 2-es típusú diabetes mellitus kezelése – per os és fix kombinációs terápia
Authors: Hasitz Ágnes
Published: May 2023

Mind az 1-es, mind a 2-es típusú diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T2DM) kezelésének célja, hogy elkerüljük a betegség okozta akut és krónikus szövôdményeket, hogy a beteg számára optimális életminôséget biztosítsunk. Erre akkor van lehetôség, ha minél elôbb, egyénre szabottan alkalmazzuk az életmódi és gyógyszeres kezelést, figyelembe véve a betegség heterogén természetét, a háttérben álló patofiziológiai folyamatokat és a betegek egyéni élethelyzetét. Nap jaink - ban erre a modern terápiás lehetôségek mellett, hypoglykaemia-kockázat nélkül, szigorúbb célértékekre törekvéssel nagyobb esély van, mint egy-két évtizeddel korábban. A klinikai inercia elkerülésének lehetôsége pedig jórészt a családorvosok kezében van, hiszen ôk ismerik a betegeiket a legjobban, betegségeikkel, élethelyzetükkel együtt, ôk kö vetik a betegeket hosszú éveken át. A szak ellátásba az általuk delegált betegek ke rülnek, rajtuk is múlik, hogy az érintettek ne veszítsenek idôt a megfelelô terápia megkezdéséig. A friss nemzetközi és magyar ajánlások mind gyógyszeres, mind nem gyógyszeres vonatkozásban részletes útmutatást adnak a korszerû kezelési lehetôségekrôl. Az összefoglalóban a teljesség igénye nélkül néhány olyan gyógyszer/gyógyszercsoport kerül ismertésre, amelyek a rendelkezésünkre állnak. Családorvosként is fontos tudni, hogy hová kell helyezni ezeket a modern és kevésbé modern szereket a terápiás palettán, a gyógyszerválasztás során milyen szempontokat kell figyelembe venni, és hogyan kell célzottan, idôben továbbirányítani a betegeket a szakellátás felé
Crisis and Resistance: Institutional Psychotherapy and the Politics of Care
Authors: Faramelli Anthony
Published: May 2023

This article seeks to explore institutional psychotherapy’s politically informed practice by highlighting two key concepts: crisis and resistance. It first briefly sketches a conceptual overview of the two concepts, paying particular attention to the complicated interactions between their political and therapeutic meanings. Following each conceptual elaboration there is a discussion exploring the ways in which the concept has been used by two key members of the institutional psychotherapy movement, Frantz Fanon and Félix Guattari.
Guattari's Therapeutics: From Transference to Transversality
Authors: ffrench Patrick
Published: May 2023

‘Transversality’ is a key term in the work of Félix Guattari. As a conceptual and pragmatic motor for the generation of heterogeneity, it extends throughout all of his work, including the writing he undertook with Deleuze. It promotes the rupture and redistribution of hierarchical structures, the mobilisation of operations of deterritorialisation across the social and cultural field, and it gains a ‘chaosmic’ dimension in the later writings. Its ‘origins’, however, are to be found in Guattari's early work at the Clinique de la Borde and in militant Marxist movements in the 1950s and early 1960s. This is an initial and necessarily provisional effort to embed the concept in a social and therapeutic pragmatics and thus counter a debateable tendency towards a dilution or diffusion of transversality in theoretical abstraction, where it risks becoming a synonym for a generalised sense of creative differentiation.
What is an Analyser? Institutional Analysis in Institutions of Care and of Education
Authors: Querrien Anne
Published: May 2023

Drawn from the concepts and practices of institutional analysis, this article explores what an ‘analyser’ is and its importance for institutional analysis. The article begins by tracing the development of institutional practices in education and psychiatric care following the application of psychoanalytic theory. It traces the work done at the Saint-Alban psychiatric hospital, the La Borde clinic and by CERFI (Centre for Institutional Study, Research and Training) to demonstrate how institutional analysis instituted practices, such as the patient club, that transformed the institution, and how analysis is conducted through the process of these transformations. By these means, the institution was turned into an analyser of French culture and society. The article concludes with some micro-examples of contemporary radical institution practices which today function as an analyser.
Die Grammatik der Handschriften
Authors: Reinken Niklas
Published: May 2023

Handschrift ist ein alltägliches Phänomen – sie begegnet uns in der Schule, auf Einkaufszetteln oder auch als Unterschrift. Über die grammatischen und insbesondere die graphematischen Grundlagen der Handschrift wissen wir allerdings nur wenig. Dabei bieten Handschriften mehr Variationsmöglichkeiten als etwa Druckschriften und können deshalb mehr grammatische Strukturen sichtbar machen, als dies in gedruckten Texten der Fall ist.

Die vorliegende Untersuchung zeigt, dass strukturelle Eigenheiten einer Handschrift oft mit grammatischen Eigenheiten zusammenfallen, etwa durch die Markierung komplexer Grapheme, Silben-, Morphem- und Fußgrenzen oder auch durch die Auszeichnung bestimmter Buchstabenformen wie ‹e›, wenn es mit Schwa korrespondiert. Dazu werden Abituraufsätze untersucht, graphetisch und grammatisch annotiert und ausgewertet.
Hemostatic Pelvic Irradiation: A Rarely Reported Approach to Benign Gynecological Bleeding
Authors: Bouguerra F , Boudhina E , Chahdoura H , Souissi M , Tbessi S , Bouzid N , Belajouza S , Tebra S
Published: May 2023

Background: Ovarian cysts are usually treated using medical or surgical interventions. However, in some cases, these treatments may not be feasible or effective, and alternative options need to be considered.

Case presentation: We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with a history of recurrent hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, who was on anticoagulant therapy due to tight mitral stenosis and had multiple autoimmune disorders. Surgical castration was not a viable option due to the bleeding risk, and intramuscular injection of analogues was not preferred. Therefore, external ovarian radiotherapy for hemostasis was planned.

Conclusion: Our case highlights that external ovarian radiotherapy can be an effective option for hemostasis in patients with bleeding ovarian cysts, especially when other treatments are contraindicated or have failed.

Ketimpanganpembangunan daerah terkait disparitas fiskal menjadi permasalahan hingga saat ini. Pembangunan desentralisasi fiskal bukan hanya terkait transfer dana kepada pemerintah daerah, tetapi perhatian pada penciptaan dampak positif perbaikan kualitas pelayanan publik menjadi utama, selain juga pertumbuhan ekonomi regional. Pada level provinsi, Dana Insentif Daerah (DID) menjadi salah satu sumber pendanaan pembangunan daerah sekaligus menjadi ukuran kualitas daerah karena untuk mendapatkannya diperlukan kompetisi. Salah satu kompetisi yang menjadi dasar perhitungan alokasi Dana Insentif Daerah adalah Penghargaan Pembangunan Daerah (PPD) yang diselenggarakan oleh Kementerian PPN/Bappenas. Evaluasi terkait DID bertujuan untuk menilai kualitas realisasi dan efektivitas pemanfaatan anggaran DID tahun 2021 kepada daerah terbaik PPD tahun 2020 menjadi menarik diulas dalam rangka memperkuat kerjasama pemerintah pusat dan daerah serta meningkatkan pemanfaatan dana tersebut di daerah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan metode kualitatif dengan optimalisasi kuesioner google form dan memanfaatkan aplikasi Zoom sebagai verifikasi terbatas pada penerima DID tahun 2021 khususnya 3 terbaik Provinsi PPD 2020 untuk melihat implementasi lapangan terkait perubahan kebijakan yang mempengaruhi pelaksanaan DID dalam masa Pandemi COVID-19 dalam konteks evaluasi on going. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa meskipun realisasi pada 3 provinsi lokasi studi kasus dinilai baik, namun secara umum pemanfaatan DID agak berbeda sehingga belum well planned jika dibandingkan dengan dana transfer lain seperti Dana Alokasi Khusus (DAK) yang proses dari perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan evaluasinya dilakukan secara lebih berjenjang dan menggunakan sistem yang lebih mapan.
