PERAN KELUARGA SEBAGAI AGEN SOSIALISASI DALAM MENINGKATKAN PARTISIPASI POLITIK WANITA
Authors: Winarni F. Winarni
Published: July 2018

Potensi wanita Indonesia dalam kegiatan politik sangatlah besar dan merupakan aset bangsa yang tak ternilai harganya. Oleh karena itu perlu dibina, dikembangkan dan diberi kesempatan yang sama dengan laki-Iaki sebagai subyek dan obyek pembangunan. Peningkatan partisipasi politik wan ita dapat diupayakan melalui pemanfaatan peluang yang ada, baik yang sudah diatur dalam GBHN maupun lembaga-Iembaga tingkat internasional yang menangani masalah wanita. Disamping itu perlu adanya redefinisi, reorientasi, dan sosialisasi politik agar lebih kondusif bagi pembinaan wanita dalam meningkatkan partisipasi politiknya pada khususnya dan semua warga negara pada umumnya. Keluarga yang karena fungsi-fungsinya mempunyai peran penting sebagai agen sosialisasi politik bagi induvidu khususnya wanita untuk menanamkan nilai­nilai, sikap-sikap politik, orientasi politiknya baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Proses sosialisasi politik dalam keluarga dilaksanakan dalam bentuk sosialisasi kognitig, afektif dan evaluatif. Besarnya peran keluarga dalam pelaksanaan sosialisasi politik sangat tergantung pada tingkat intensitas interaksi antara induvidu dengan keluarga, proses komunikasi yang berlangsung antara induvidu dengan keluarga, dan tingkat penekunan induvidu yang mengalami proses sosialisasi politik serta umur induvidu yang bersangkutan.
DINAMIKA LSM DI INDONESIA DAN KONTRIBUSINYA TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN DEMOKRASI
Authors: Cholisin Cholisin
Published: July 2018

Orientasi awal LSM atau NGO adalah ikut mengembangkon-kesejahte­raan, pembangunan dan kemudian berkembang kearah empowerment yang bersifat politis (demokrasi partisipatoris). Oleh karena itu kemudian dikenal 3 paradigma LSM yaitu korformisme, reformasi dan. transformasi. LSM yang aktivitasnya berkontribusi besar terhadap perkembangan demokrasi (LSM transfonnasi) jumlahnya relatif kecil. Sehingga LSM sering dikecam ikut andil dalam proses marginalisasi masyarakat. Koniribusi LSM terhadap perkembangan demokrasi, antara lain sangat tergantung pada upaya LSM untuk iilelakukan konsolidasi, rekonsiliasi, kerjasama dengan kelompok-kelompok grass-root, dialog dengan pemerintak untuk melahirkan saling pengertian. Disamping itu lembaga-lembaga politik yang ada (seperti parpol, DPR) perlu ditingkatkan fungsinya agar pember­dayaan masy arakat tidak hanya akan menjadi kumpulan masy arakat yang . selalu protes terhadap lembaga-lembaga politik, sementara itu lembaga­lembaga politik hanya sebagai proforma demokrasi belaka.

Inflasi merupakan gejala ekonomi yang keberadaannya diperlukan untuk mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Sebaliknya jika inflasi tidak dapat dikendalikan secara baik dapat berdampak pada merosotnya perekonomian bangsa. Untuk itu kebijakan pengendalian inflasi perlu dilakukan secara tepat. Berkaitan dengan permasalahan tersebut penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui (1) pengarub jumlah uang yang beredar mempunyai terhadap inflasi, (2) pengaruh nilai tukar rupiah terhadap inflasi, (3) pengaruh tingkat bunga terhadap inflasi, dan (4) pengaruh pendapatan nasional terhadap inflasi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian ex post facto yang pengumpulan datanya dilakukan dengan teknik dokumentasi. Periode data yang diambil antara tahun J 980 sampai dengan 1999. Data tersebut diperoleh dari Laporan Tahun Bank Indonesia dalam terbitan beberapa tahun. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi yang menggunakan model yang dikembangkan oleb Cobb Dauglas. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa dengan analisisi regresi metode enter ditemukan bahwa secara bersama-sama terdapat hUDungan yang signifikan antara jUmlah uang yang beredar, tingkat bunga. nilai tukar rupiah. PDB. dan tingkat inflasi. Kontribusi bersamanya sebesar 74% dengan harga F sebesar 9,942 dan p<O, 05. Namun demikian secara sendiri-sendiri (parsial) yang memiliki kontribusi yang signifikan terhadap tingkat inflasi hanyalah variabel PDB (t=3.206; p<o, 05), sedangkan variabel lainnya tidak memiliki kontribusi parsial yang signifikan. Model regresi tersebut juga sudah memenuhi asumsi klasik, yang meliputi asumsi normalitas, homosedastisitas, multikolinearitas, dan otokorelasi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis regresi dengan metode steprwise ditemukan bahwa variabel yang secara nyata berkontribusi terhadap tingkat inflasi adalah PDB (t=3.861; p<O, 05) dan nilai tukar rupiah (t=Z, 324; p<O, 05). sedangkan variabel lainnya tidak memiliki kontribusi yang signifikan. Variabel yang paling besar k~ntribusinya adalah variabel PDB dengan kontribusi sebesar 62,9%, sedangkan kontribusi tambahan yang dihasilkan oleh variabel nilai tukar rupiah adalah sebesar 9,4%. Dengan demikian, secara 'bersama-sama kedua variabel tersebut memiliki kontribusi sebesar 72,3% dengan harga F = 20,854 dan p'<O, 05. Untuk model regresi yang ditemukan inijuga telah memenuhi persyaratan asumsi klasik yang meliputi asumsi normalitas, homosedastisitas, multilwlinearitas, dan otokorelasi.

Muhammadiyali yang telah mengikrarkan sebagai organisasi sosial keagamaan kemudian harus dihadapkan kepada wacana masyarakat madani dan persoalan politik. Karena itu tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisls keterkait­an antara masyarakat madani, Muhammadiyah dan persoalan politik. Melalui analisis kritis dan dengan pendekatan sosiologis dicoba membedali konsep masyarakat madani untuk kemudlan dikaitkan de­ngan paradigma perjuangan Muhammadiyah, Dari sini topangan fakta-fakta yang ada dianalisis untuk memahami keterkaitannya de­ngan dinamika politik di Indonesia. Masyarakat madani merupakan format kehidupan masyarakat yang memberi ruang publik secara bebas, bersifat egaliter dan de­mokratis. Hat ini sesuai dengan sifat dan ciri perjuangan Muham­madiyan sebagai organisasi sosial keagamaan yang tidak doktriner, lebih bersifat egaliter, dan tidak terfokus pada seorallg pemimpin. Strategi pemberdayaan umat dengan ciri-ciri yang demikian itu, Mu­hammadiyah tidak dapat sepenuhnya lepas dari persoalan politik. Muhammadiyah bukan organisasi politik tetapi sering memberikan sentuhan-sentuhan politik, termasuk high politics.

Dewasa ini seolah-olah bangsa Indonesia kehilangan pedoman moral sebagai acuan sikap dan perilaku yang luhur untuk hidup bermasyarakat dan bernegara.  Kasus-kasus tindak pidana korupsi di kalangan pejabat formal, dan penganiayaan keji di kalangan rakyat yang belum dikenal, merupakan sebagian indikator terjadinya kemerosotan moral atau akhlak bangsa Indonesia.  Untuk itu diperlukan upaya oleh segenap pihak, terutama bidang pendidikan untuk menyemai kembali bibit-bibit akhlak mulia sejak anak duduk di Taman Kanak-kanak sampai ke perguruan tinggi.  Disamping itu perlu dipertegas kembali Pancasila sebagai acuan moral bangsa Indonesia yang terbebas dari berbagai kepentingan. Tulisan ini merupakan hasil kajian deduktif  terhadap literatur dan hasil-hasil penelitian tentang Pendidikan Karakter di sekolah.  Hasil pembahasan dapat disimpulkan bahwa: 1) Karakter bangsa Indonesia  adalah sikap dan perilaku yang mengacu kepada Pancasila sebagai idiologi bangsa.   2) Pancasila tidak boleh dilupakan, dan harus tetap dijadikan landasan moral (budi pekerti luhur) bangsa Indonesia.  3) Pendidikan karakter belum tersurat dalam standar isi pendidikan, oleh karena itu pelaksanaannya harus diintegrasikan`ke dalam semua mata pelajaran, sehingga semua guru harus terlibat dan bertanggungjawab terhadap proses dan hasil pendidikan karakter;  4) Geografi merupakan mata pelajaran di tingkat SMA/MA yang sangat tepat sebagai wadah integrasi pendidikan karakter, karena hakikat Geografi merupakan studi tentang alam, manusia dan hubungan timbal-balik antara keduanya.  5) Pendidikan karakter yang terintegrasi ke dalam pembelajaran Geografi dapat menggunakan berbagai strategi, antara lain Value Clarification Tachnique (VCT), karena proses klarifikasi terhadap nilai-nilai terutama yang berkaitan dengan current events akhir-akhir ini.   Kata kunci: Pendidikan karakter, Pancasila, integrasi, VCT, current evens

EKSISTENSI SEKTOR INFORMAL DAN UPAYA PEMBINAANNYA
Authors: * Wasiti
Published: July 2018

Pertumbuhan sektor informal di Indonesia terutama pasca krisis ekonomi menunjukkan peningkatan yang cukup tajam. Gejala ini merupakan fenomena yang wajar meskipun sektor informal sering dipandang sebagai usaha pinggiran. Namun dalam perkembangan sektor informal ternyata mampu memberikan kontribusi yang positif dalam mengatasi masalah ketenagakerjaan di Indonesia, terutama dalam masalah antisipasi pengangguran dan kemiskinan. Mengingat karakteristik sektor informal antara lain adalah rendahnya tingkat pendidikan dan keterampilan pelaku usaha terutama dalam manajemen, maka diperlukan upaya pembinaan secara terus menerus. Dengan upaya pembinaan diharapkana sektor informal berkembang menjadi palaku kegiatan ekonomi yang tangguh dalam menghadapi fluktuasi ekonomi dunia yang cukup tajam. Upaya pembinaan dapat dilakukan melalui bantuan permodalan, pendidikan dan pelatihan manajemen, peningkatan keterampilan, peningkatan kualitas produk, kemudahan memperoleh bahan baku, perluasan pasar dan regulasi proteksi terhadap produk lokal.   Kata kunci : Sektor Informal, Pembinaan

Differences Between Mothers and Fathers of Young Children in Their Use of the Internet to Support Healthy Family Lifestyle Behaviors: Cross-Sectional Study (Preprint)
Authors: Laws Rachel , Walsh Adam D , Hesketh Kylie D , Downing Katherine L , Kuswara Konsita , Campbell Karen J
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

In early life, both mothers and fathers are important influences on their children’s diet, active play, and obesity risk. Parents are increasingly relying on the internet and social media as a source of information on all aspects of parenting. However, little is known about the use of Web-based sources of information relevant to family lifestyle behaviors and, in particular, differences between mothers’ and fathers’ use and sociodemographic predictors.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to examine if mothers and fathers differ in their use of the internet for information on their own health and their child’s health, feeding, and playing and to examine sociodemographic predictors of the use of the internet for information on these topics.

METHODS

We conducted a secondary analysis on data collected from mothers (n=297) and fathers (n=207) participating in the extended Infant Feeding, Activity and Nutrition Trial (InFANT Extend) when their children were 36 months of age. The main outcome variables were the use of the internet for information gathering for parents’ own health and child health, feeding, and playing. Binary logistic regression was used to examine the sociodemographic predictors of outcomes.

RESULTS

Compared with fathers (n=296), a higher proportion of mothers (n=198) used the internet for information on their own health (230, 78.5% vs 93, 46.5%), child health (226, 77.1% vs 84, 42.4%), child feeding (136, 46.3% vs 35, 17.5%), and child play (123, 42.1% vs 28, 14.0%) and intended to use Facebook to connect with other parents (200, 74.9% vs 43, 30.5%). Despite the high use of the internet to support family health behaviors, only 15.9% (47/296) of mothers reported consulting health practitioners for advice and help for their own or their child’s weight, diet, or physical activity. Sociodemographic predictors of internet use differed between mothers and fathers and explained only a small proportion of the variance in internet use to support healthy family lifestyle behaviors.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings support the use of the internet and Facebook as an important potential avenue for reaching mothers with information relevant to their own health, child health, child diet, and active play. However, further research is required to understand the best avenues for engaging fathers with information on healthy family lifestyle behaviors to support this important role in their child’s life.

Change in Patient Comfort Using Mobile Phones Following the Use of an App to Monitor Tuberculosis Treatment Adherence: Longitudinal Study (Preprint)
Authors: Do Diana , Garfein Richard S , Cuevas-Mota Jazmine , Collins Kelly , Liu Lin
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

As mHealth apps proliferate, it is necessary for patients to feel capable and comfortable using devices that run them. However, limited research is available on changes in comfort level before and after the use of an mHealth app.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to determine whether patients with tuberculosis who used an mHealth app called Video Directly Observed Therapy (VDOT) to monitor their antituberculosis treatment became more comfortable using mobile phones after the intervention and to identify factors associated with change in comfort.

METHODS

We analyzed data from a longitudinal study assessing the feasibility and acceptability of the VDOT app among patients receiving antituberculosis treatment from public health departments in San Diego, San Francisco, and New York City. Comfort levels on six domains of mobile phone use (making phone calls, taking pictures, recording videos, text messaging, internet and email use on the phone) were measured on a 10-point scale (1=very uncomfortable; 10=very comfortable) at the start and end of treatment using VDOT via telephone interviews. The main outcomes were change in comfort level on each domain (recoded as binary measures) and an overall change score (sum of individual measures). Linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess whether sociodemographics, risk factors, and VDOT perceptions were associated with change of comfort measures.

RESULTS

Among 120 participants with complete data, mean age was 39.8 years (SD 14.8, range 18-87 years), 46.7% (56/120) were female, and 76.7% (92/120) were foreign born. The combined comfort level at baseline was high overall (mean 48.8, SD 14.2, interquartile range 43.0-60.0) and the mean comfort score increased by 1.92 points at follow-up (P=.07). Statistically significant increases in comfort on individual domains included taking pictures (P=.02) and recording videos (P=.002). Females were more likely to have increased comfort in using the internet on the phone compared to males (odds ratio [OR] 3.03, 95% CI 1.08-8.52, P=.04). Participants who worked less hours per week were more likely to have increased comfort recording videos although this did not meet statistical significance (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.00-1.05, P=.06).

CONCLUSIONS

Findings suggest that, despite a high level of comfort using mobile phones at baseline, experience using the VDOT app was associated with increased comfort using mobile phone features. Additional research involving participants with lower baseline mobile phone experience is needed. An implication of these findings is that as patients begin to use mHealth apps for one health condition, they could acquire skills and confidence to more quickly adapt to using mHealth apps for other conditions.
Analysis of the Recomposition of Norms and Representations in the Field of Psychiatry and Mental Health in the Age of Electronic Mental Health: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Morgiève Margot , Sebbane Déborah , De Rosario Bianca , Demassiet Vincent , Kabbaj Soraya , Briffault Xavier , Roelandt Jean-Luc
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

For the World Health Organization, electronic health (eHealth) is seen as an effective way to improve therapeutic practices and disease prevention in health. Digital tools lead to major changes in the field of mental medicine, but specific analyses are required to understand and accompany these changes.

OBJECTIVE

Our objective was to highlight the positions of the different stakeholders of the mental health care system on eHealth services and tools, as well as to establish professional and user group profiles of these positions and the uses of these services.

METHODS

In order to acquire the opinions and expectations of different categories of people, we carried out a qualitative study based on 10 focus groups (n=70, from 3-12 people per group) composed of: general practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, nurses, caregivers, mental health services users, user representatives, and the general public. The analyses of focus group discussions were performed independently by four investigators through a common analysis grid. The constant comparative method was adopted within this framework.

RESULTS

The interviewees expressed different problems that new technologies engender in the field of mental health. What was previously strictly under the jurisdiction of physicians now tends to be fragmented and distributed over different groups and locations. New technologies reposition care in the field of domestic, rather than therapeutic, activities, and thus the conception of care as an autonomous activity in the subject’s life is questioned. The ideal of social autonomy through technology is part of the new logic of health democracy and empowerment, which is linked to a strong, contemporary aspiration to perform. Participants emphasized that there was the potential risk of a decrease in autonomy for the digitally engaged patient, while personal empowerment could become a set of obligations.

CONCLUSIONS

This qualitative research highlights the heterogeneity of opinions among the groups and within each group. It suggests that opinions on electronic mental health devices are still far from being stabilized, and that a change management process should be set up to both regulate the development and facilitate the use of these tools.
The Impact of Aging and Hand Dominance on the Passive Wrist Stiffness of Squash Players: Pilot Study (Preprint)
Authors: Hamilton Taya , Durand Stan , Krebs Hermano Igo
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

Passive joint stiffness can influence the risk of injury and the ability to participate in sports and activities of daily living. However, little is known about how passive joint stiffness changes over time with intensive repetitive exercise, particularly when performing unilateral activities using the dominant upper limb.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the difference in passive wrist quasi-stiffness between the dominant and nondominant upper limb of competitive squash players, compare these results with a previous study on young unskilled subjects, and explore the impact of aging on wrist stiffness.

METHODS

A total of 7 healthy, right-side dominant male competitive squash players were recruited and examined using the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Wrist-Robot. Subjects were aged between 24 and 72 years (mean 43.7, SD 16.57) and had a mean of 20.6 years of squash playing experience (range 10-53 years, SD 13.85). Torque and displacement data were processed and applied to 2 different estimation methods, the fitting ellipse and the multiple regression method, to obtain wrist stiffness magnitude and orientation.

RESULTS

Young squash players (mean 30.75, SD 8.06 years) demonstrated a stiffer dominant wrist, with an average ratio of 1.51, compared with an average ratio of 1.18 in young unskilled subjects. The older squash players (mean 64.67, SD 6.35 years) revealed an average ratio of 0.86 (ie, the nondominant wrist was stiffer than the dominant wrist). There was a statistically significant difference between the magnitude of passive quasi-stiffness between the dominant and nondominant wrist of the young and older squash player groups (P=.004).

CONCLUSIONS

Findings from this pilot study are novel and contribute to our understanding of the likely long-term effect of highly intensive, unilateral sports on wrist quasi-stiffness and the aging process: adults who participate in repetitive sporting exercise may experience greater joint quasi-stiffness when they are younger than 45 years and more flexibility when they are older than 60 years.

Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

Digital tools have the potential to support patient activation and shared decision making in the face of increasing levels of mental health problems in young people. There is a need for feasibility trials of digital interventions to determine the usage and acceptability of interventions. In addition, there is a need to determine the ability to recruit and retain research participants to plan rigorous effectiveness trials and therefore, develop evidence-based recommendations for practice.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the feasibility of undertaking a cluster randomized control trial to test the effectiveness of a smartphone app, Power Up, co-designed with young people to support patient activation and shared decision making for mental health.

METHODS

Overall, 270 young people were screened for participation and 53% (N = 142) were recruited and completed baseline measures across eight specialist child mental health services (n = 62, mean (SD) age = 14.66 (1.99) years, 52% female) and two mainstream secondary schools (n = 80; mean (SD) age = 16.88 (0.68) years, 46% female). Young people received Power Up in addition to management as usual or received management as usual only. Post-trial interviews were conducted with 11 young people from the intervention arms (specialist services n = 6; schools n = 5).

RESULTS

Usage data showed that there were an estimated 50 (out of 64) users of Power Up in the intervention arms. Findings from the interviews indicated that young people found Power Up to be acceptable. Young people reported: 1) their motivation for use of Power Up, 2) the impact of use, and 3) barriers to use. Out of the 142 recruited participants, 45% (64/142) completed follow up measures, and the approaches to increase retention agreed by the steering group are discussed.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings of the present research indicate that the app is acceptable and it is feasible to examine the effectiveness of Power Up in a prospective cluster randomized control trial.

Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

Obesity has become a health problem worldwide, determined by multiple and complex factors, and face to this challenge, governments have played central role in combating its rise. Considering this fact, public policies are introduced or enacted for the benefit of whole populations, taking into account the prospective of multiverse social stakeholders based on solid scientific fundamentals. In an eventual evaluation of a proposed or enforced public policy it can be relevant to explicit the scientific roots of its directives.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to examine obesity-related policies in all US states and District of Columbia, in order to understand their scientific basis.

METHODS

We analyzed the public policies, as implemented in the United States, in the time window when this health-related trend was a major governmental concern. In total, 1,592 policies related to obesity were selected and analyzed through text mining technique.

RESULTS

The multidisciplinary area was predominant in the documents analyzed (33.5%), followed by Health Sciences (28.5%), Social Sciences (20.7%), Life Sciences (15.1%) and Physical Sciences (2.2%). Besides, throughout the country most policies were community oriented and many of them were related to school and family environments, early care and education, hospitals and workplaces.

CONCLUSIONS

The content of public policies analyzed have elements of science with predominance of multidisciplinary area. This results provide evidence of how science and public policy are interrelated. In the same time, it can drive government decisions related to investments on science.

The purpose of this study was to describe the asymmetric potential possessed by the pectoral fin organ Clarias gariepinus catfish originating from maintenance in aquaculture ponds. Individuals who do not grow a pair of pectoral fins are mated to a normal pectoral finned individual to obtain fish seed (F1). The study was conducted from January to April 2017 at the Reproductive Laboratory of Aquaculture Studies Program Department of Water Resources Management Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science Universitas Brawijaya Malang. The observed variables are asymmetric score and Asymmetric Fluctuation Index (FA). The number of lefts and right pectoral fin radius, as well as abnormal F1 percentage, were analyzed. Long-weight relationship was analyzed by linear regression and PT/BB ratio. The conclusions using Mann Whitney-U Test (α = 0.01). The results showed that the population of F1 from the parent fish of the non-pectoral mortal differs very significantly with the controls on the asymmetry score variables (13.63±29.88), FA (1.25±2.05), the average number of pectoral left fins (8.95±3.22) - right fin (9.10±1.89), and the ratio of PT/BB (1.57±0.61) with a long-weighted relationship based on the equation y = 3.25x-2.04. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the catfish Afrika Clarias gariepinus with perfect loss pectoral fin has the potency to generate asymmetrical characters to its generation and rising FA that is influenced by the hybridization or crosses.
Billions of Interest-Free Loans to the IRS through Filing Incorrectly on Form W-4
Authors: Barker Joel , Duncan Albert
Published: July 2018

Form W-4 was created by the IRS to provide tax withholding guidelines to employers. The form informs employers of employees’ filing status and the number of allowances each is eligible to claim. However, because of various factors, taxpayers unintentionally create interest-free loans to the IRS. Some of these factors include intentional and unintentional incorrect completion of Form W-4. Lack of education, knowledge, as well as fear of noncompliance have been contributing factors to this growing trend.

These interest-free loans create a one-sided benefit annually for the IRS, thus depriving taxpayers of the alternative use of such funds. CPAs and other tax preparers need to play a more proactive role in educating and assisting their clients in combating these interest-free loans to the IRS. Education is the most valuable tool to break the uneven cycle created by this behavior. True, some may continue to fund the coffers of the IRS from an inability to change, but through education, many others may change the way they manage their tax withholdings.

The subject of non-interest-bearing loans to the IRS is not heavily publicized nor discussed outside the financial arena. How does one engage average taxpayers in this discussion? Educating the public is key.

Desde estos primeros estudios, se ha desarrollado todo un culto alrededor de los indicadores de la actividad científica que, como todo “dogma”, tiene sus creyentes y sus impíos (3).
