Published: September 2020

Perencanaan tenaga medis, tenaga penunjang dan sarana rumah sakit untuk masa yang akan datang sangat penting agar terlaksananya pelayanan prima dan optimal. Manajemen harus dapat memprediksi presentase penggunaan tempat tidur berdasarkan periode waktu tertentu atau Bed Occupancy Ratio (BOR), agar dapat mengetahui kebutuhan tenaga medis, tenaga penunjang dan sarana rumah sakit. Untuk memprediksi BOR pada masa yang akan datang dapat dilakukan simulasi Monte Carlo menggunakan data hari perawatan ruang perawatan Bayi Lantai II tahun 2017, tahun 2018 dan tahun 2019. Ruang Bayi Lantai II memiliki kapasitas tempat tidur sebanyak 12 buah. Tingkat prediksi terhadap ruang perawatan menggunakan simulasi Monte Carlo adalah 93,09% untuk tahun prediksi 2018 dan 89,78% untuk tahun 2019. Sehingga metode simulasi Monte Carlo ini dapat digunakan dalam memprediksi BOR di rumah sakit. Untuk simulasi tahun 2020 didapatkan BOR sebesar 77,21% dengan total hari perawatan sebanyak 3391 hari.

Authors: You Ari Faeni  , Adina Astasia
Published: September 2020

Tingkat kasus kematian Ibu di Indonesia masih tergolong tinggi. Berdasarkan evaluasi Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) pada tahun 2015, kasus kematian ibu di Indonesia masih pada posisi 305 per 100.000 kelahiran. Padahal target yang dicanangkan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB) adalah 102 per 100.000 kelahiran dan target SDG’s tahun 2030 adalah 70 kematian per 100.000 kelahiran. Sebenarnya Skilled care before, during and after childbirth can save the lives of women. Paper ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi risiko kematian ibu di Indonesia melalui indikator kesehatan ibu yang merupakan penjabaran dari skilled care before, during and after childbirth, kemudian mengelompokkan wilayah berdasarkan indikator tersebut. Variabel-variabel yang ada direduksi menggunakan analisis komponen utama untuk memastikan variabel-variabel bersifat orthogonal dan disajikan dalam bentuk biplot dan cluster untuk mempermudah interpretasi. Hasil analisis gabungan antara biplot dan cluster menunjukkan bahwa cluster pertama memiliki risiko kematian ibu terendah, cluster kedua memiliki risiko kematian ibu sedang, sementara cluster ketiga memiliki risiko kematian ibu tertinggi. Provinsi-provinsi pada klaster ketiga membutuhkan perhatian lebih karena memiliki risiko kematian ibu tertinggi akibat kurang adanya pengawasan oleh tenaga kesehatan saat kehamilan, saat melahirkan, dan setelah melahirkan.
Student and Teacher Views on English Language Speech Contests in Japan
Authors: Head Philip
Published: September 2020

English language speech contests are popular in Japanese junior and senior high schools, bringing prestige to winning students’ schools and aiding winners to gain admission to university (Nishikawa-Van Eester, 2009). As a result, students and teachers devote a great deal of effort practicing for these high-stakes contests. However, there has been very little research examining what motivates students, especially pre-university ones, to join speech contests or how students feel about their experience of participating. In this study, 25 high school and 73 junior high school speech contest participants completed anonymous surveys (including both Likert-type quantitative questions and qualitative open response questions) examining two areas. The first is the reasons students join speech contests (e.g., to win a prize), and the second is students’ overall experience of the contest itself (e.g., was it stressful?). In addition, 36 teachers of speech contest participants were asked why they felt their students joined the contests and their impressions of their students’ experiences in order to look for any differences between teacher impressions and the reported experiences of the students. The two surveys showed that both students and teachers felt the most important reason for students joining speech contests, in order of ranking, was a desire for personal growth, followed by self-expression, improving English communication skills, making social connections, and winning a prize. The fact that winning a prize was considered the least important reason to participate indicates that these students were primarily intrinsically rather than extrinsically motivated to compete. Regarding the second question, the overall experience of participating in a speech contest was positive for students, with the majority enjoying the contest and wishing to repeat the experience. In addition, students reported feeling more confident in their public speaking as a result of participation, as well as having made improvements in their English communication abilities. The most surprising result is that students do not consider the experience to be stressful, although outside observers such as teachers may perceive that it was the opposite. Overall, we can conclude that speech contests are a generally positive experience with many benefits for students who participate, thus justifying the heavy time commitment involved for both students and teachers.

Piezoelectric materials with useful properties find a wide range of applications including opto- and acousto- electronics. Lithium niobate in the form of a thin film is one of those promising materials and has a potential to improve ferroelectric random access memories devices, optical waveguides or acoustic delay lines by virtue of its physical characteristics, e.g. electro-optic coefficient, acoustic velocity, refractive indices etc. The key challenge to overcome is lithium nonstoichiometry as it leads to the appearance of parasite phases and thus aggravates physical and structural properties of a film. According to literature data, in order to obtain microcrystalline piezoelectric phase in previously amorphous films a set of methods is used. In our case we tried to synthesize LN films using congruent target and non-heated silicon substrate and then attain the piezoelectric phase by different annealing parameters. Afterwards LN films were compared to the ones synthesized on the silicon substrate with an additional buffer layer of platinum. Samples were studied by scanning probe microscope. Self-polarization vectors were defined. Based on domain structure images, the histograms of distribution of piezoresponse signals were built.

Mirabilis jalapa is a popular decorative plant valued for its beautiful multicolored flowers. Folk medicine in various countries applies Mirabilis jalapa as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, spasmolytic drug. Chemical composition of different types of Mirabilis jalapa has not yet been adequately studied which is an obstacle for its application in medicine.

The qualitative composition and quantitative content of phenolic compounds were studied by the HPLC method. The performed experiment revealed presence of hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonoids, isoflavonoids and coumarins in tested herb.

The content of phenolic compounds was the highest in Mirabilis jalapa flowers, counting as much as 2977.41 ± 59.55 µg/mg. Total content of phenolic compounds in Mirabilis jalapa herb was 304.25 ± 6.08 µg/mg, in fruits – 67.92 ± 1.36 µg/mg, and in roots – 12.44 ± 0.25 µg/mg.

Quantitatively neochlorogenic acid dominated in flowers, chlorogenic acid in fruits, whereas Mirabilis jalapa herb mostly contained rutin and hyperoside.

The obtained results will be useful in the development of quality control methods for Mirabilis jalapa herb and manufacture of drug preparations on its basis.
Examining the fan labor of episodic TV podcast hosts
Authors: Savit Lauren
Published: September 2020

In podcasting—an understudied site of fan engagement—hosts of episodic TV podcasts, who are self-professed fans of a particular television series, engage in their fandom through a particular form of fan labor: producing and hosting a weekly podcast. Hosting an episodic TV podcast is a form of digital fan labor situated within the online fan gift economy. The resulting subcultural celebrity status that the hosts attain is ultimately what drives them to continue podcasting, regardless of any financial incentives that may arise from hosting a successful podcast. Through interviews with the hosts of the Friends (NBC, 1994–2004) podcast Best of Friends (2015–), Erin Mallory Long and Jamie Woodham, it becomes clear that by closely examining the different modes of fandoms that emerge from episodic TV podcasts, we can expand legible fan studies methodologies and apply them in the study of new and emerging fan practices and behaviors.
Self-identification in Malaysian cosplay
Authors: Yamato Eriko
Published: September 2020

To examine cosplay (costume play) as performed by non-Japanese cosplayers, video interviews were conducted at five Japanese popular culture conventions in Malaysia. Analysis of descriptions made by 158 cosplayers reveals cosplay to function as a medium for the process of self-identification. Cosplay enables Malaysians to explore individual rather than collective identities and to experience fluidity and dilemma in self-identification as they translate fictional characters into their physical world. Although ethnicity seems not to prevail in their cosplay, it appears not to have totally vanished.
Affective investments, queer archives, and lesbian breakups on YouTube
Authors: Deshler Kira
Published: September 2020

YouTube, as both a video-sharing platform and a social media platform, has become a dynamic space for the proliferation of queer female fandom, including lesbian YouTube couples, around which fans congregate. Two specific YouTube couples, Shannon and Cammie, and Kaelyn and Lucy, both broke up in summer 2016. Their breakups, and the subsequent breakup videos, were met with emotionally intense responses from their fans. To investigate how both fans and the couples themselves invest in these relationships, I conducted a discourse analysis of the language the YouTubers use to speak to their fans as well as the ways in which fans express their connection to these videos in the comments section. The distinct features of this fandom are the result of the affordances of YouTube as a platform, the intensity of queer fandom investments, and the particular liveliness of the fan object. Fan investment in these couples is connected to fans' own sense of (queer) futurity. At the same time, these videos now circulate as monuments of queer melancholia, viewed as they are through the lens of grief or nostalgia.
Podfic: Queer structures of sound
Authors: Riley Olivia Johnston
Published: September 2020

Podfic is the fan practice of reading fan fiction aloud and sharing recordings with other fans. Podfic highlights how slash fan spaces are structurally queer, resulting in both pleasure and discomfort for various participants. The numerous identities involved in creating, sharing, and consuming podfic—that of the podficcer, the listener, and the characters in the stories—create layers of queer possibility. Podfic encourages the repetition of oblique lines of desire that refuse heteronormativity and immutable, binary gender. Listeners use podfic to build queer soundscapes, using the queer noise of podfic to drown out the dull normalcy of activities like commuting and household chores, and to create a sense of (queer, fannish) connection and community between themselves, the performer, and other listeners. Additionally, "not safe for work, don't play this out loud" warnings on podfic demonstrate how fans negotiate what is and is not appropriate for public spaces and nonprivate listening, particularly in regard to explicit queer sexuality. Podfic enhances and magnifies our understanding of how queerness appears and functions among fans, fan texts, and fan practices; it also reaffirms the diversity of genders at play in these fan spaces.

Archaeological investigation at the Danish plantation site of Brockman, Ghana
Authors: Boachie-Ansah James
Published: September 2020

Des fouilles archéologiques conduites en janvier 2002 sur une plantation située en un lieu appelé Brockman ont livré à la fois des objets fabriqués localement et des céramiques vernissées européennes, des bouteilles, etc. Les bouteilles et les céramiques européennes sont de la fin du xixe siècle et, pour quelques-unes, du début du xxe. Le secteur du site qui a été fouillé a probablement été occupé après 1850, année pendant laquelle les Danois vendirent leurs possessions de la Gold Coast aux Anglais, et un peu avant ou après, l’abolition du commerce interne des esclaves et du statut légal des esclaves, respectivement en 1874 et 1875. Les objets découverts en fouille peuvent par conséquent ne pas être liés au Danois Neils Brock, dont les documents écrits attestent qu’il a acheté la plantation en 1834. Les formes des récipients en céramique locale montrent une influence Akan qui peut aussi être identifiée sur d’autres sites des Accra Plains ; elles attestent de l’hétérogénéité de la population de la région des Accra Plains résultant de mouvements de populations dont les Akan vers la région d’Accra en raison du commerce lucratif qui y était possible, non seulement d’esclaves, mais aussi de marchandises telles que l’huile de palme et l’or.

The meeting, under the auspicies of the Institute for Ancient Studies (Institut für Altertumswissenschaften) of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, was generously funded by the Thyssen-Foundation (Fritz Thyssen Stiftung für Wissenschaftsförderung).
A Unique Shrine From the Late Iron Age in Jordan
Authors: Uhlenbrock Jaimee
Published: September 2020

In October and November of 2014 an archaeological team lead by Lucas Petit of the University of Leiden and Zeidan Kafafi of Yarmouk University uncovered a 2,700-year-old shrine at Tell Damiyah in Jordan. This had been in the center of a small village that had been closely allied with the Neo-Assyrian capital, as is attested by written sources and ceramics. The shrine was in the form of a rectangular building with a platform measuring eight by six metres. The discovery of this shrine is of considerable importance since this is the first late Iron Age shrine to have been brought to light in the region.
La Coroplastica Greca. Metodologie per lo studio di produzioni, contesti e immagini
Authors: Uhlenbrock Jaimee
Published: September 2020

From May 27 to June 1, 2013, the First International Summer School on Greek Coroplastic Studies was held in Catania, Sicily. Organized by ACoST Executive Committee member Antonella Pautasso, project director at IBAM-CNR, Catania, and Ambra Pace of the University of Messina, with the support of Mario Cottonaro of the University of Catania and Vanessa Chillemi of the University of Messina, this 6-day event was called La Coroplastica Greca. Metodologie per lo studio di produzioni, contesti e immagini. It was developed mainly as a specialized course for university students wishing to conduct research on Greek terracotta objects, or simply to learn more about the study of Greek terracottas, although more advanced researchers also were enrolled. The main thrust of the week was to provide 34 participants (Fig. 1) with a total immersion in coroplastic studies by means of lectures and hands-on workshops (Figs. 2-3). In addition, the volumePhilotechnia. Studi sulla coroplastica della Sicilia greca, edited by Marina Albertocchi and Antonella Pautasso, IBAM CNR 5, Catania, 2012, was officially presented.
Brevi note di coroplastica siracusana: due esemplari di statuette con bambino
Authors: Manenti Angela Maria
Published: September 2020

Two mold-made, terracotta figurines representing a woman holding a child are rare within the coroplastic typology of Syracuse. Although they were brought to light during earlier excavations in Syracuse they have never been the object of study. Their typology may reference female cults in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.E.

The Effects of Social Media on the Dynamics of Identity: Discourse, Interaction and Digital Traces
Authors: Baldauf Heike , Develotte Christine , Ollagnier-Beldame Magali
Published: September 2020

This paper introduces the journal's special issue concerning identity construction in social media. While considering social media, we examine how (and if) its use changes the dynamics of identity: constructing or shaping the identity, negotiating it, etc. In other words, what do social media "do" to dynamics of identity? With our multi-disciplinary background (philosophy, linguistics, cognitive sciences), we will seek to answer this question at least partially by first explaining what we mean by dynamics of identity (part 1) and how we study social media in terms of interactivity and discursiveness and by the digital traces they leave behind (part 2). Thirdly, we will examine identity construction with the temporal, spatial and otherness dimensions, which are the three fundamental aspects of human interaction (part 3).
"I'm the first video Voicethread–it's pretty sweet, I'm pumped": Gender and Self-Expression on an Interactive Multimodal Platform
Authors: Herring Susan C. , Demarest Bradford
Published: September 2020

This study explores how male and female users of Voicethread.com, an interactive multimodal web 2.0 platform that allows asynchronous commenting via text, audio, and video, communicate and perform identity through self-expression in different semiotic modes. A quantitative computer-mediated discourse analysis of three public English-language Voicethreads found that in video and audio comments, both genders express more positive attitudes; they are also more self-conscious and ego-focused. The text comments express more neutral and negative attitudes, especially when written by males, but they are also more socially interactive. With few exceptions, female communication patterns resemble those for audio and video, while male communication patterns resemble those for text. We propose explanations for these findings and discuss their implications for identity performances in interactive multimodal environments.
Digital eternities. Post-mortem digital identity from a semio-pragmatic perspective
Authors: Georges Fanny
Published: September 2020

Nowadays, the persistence of digital data after the death of the user changes the way digital Self-presentation data may be perceived. Using a pragmatic semiotic approach, we consider social discourse as constitutive acts of social relations and place strong emphasis on the technical dimension of the objects supporting communication phenomena (Meunier & Peraya, 2004). This paper proposes to analyse the system of personal data constituting the digital profile of a living or deceased user as a semiotic pattern. We have followed a qualitative rather than quantitative approach, examining in depth a limited quantity of relevant web profiles. The results show how the digital identity model modifies the frame of the living user's digital identity.
Tournant social des dispositifs d'apprentissage des langues en autoformation – Un exemple de dispositif pour le russe
Authors: Chachkine Elsa
Published: September 2020

Nous proposons dans cet article de présenter un dispositif institutionnel d'apprentissage en autoformation du russe au Cnam, adapté d'un dispositif d'autoformation en langues implanté il y a 30 ans dans le même établissement. Nous décrivons les raisons de ce changement, le nouvel environnement social et les aides proposées pour soutenir l'apprentissage en autoformation du russe, tels que les télétandems et les échanges d'informations culturelles sur un réseau social entre étudiants du Cnam et étudiants d'universités russes partenaires, les ateliers collectifs réflexifs, les entretiens individuels de conseil avec un enseignant-conseiller, le carnet de bord et les ressources pédagogiques mis à disposition. Nous concluons sur l'institutionnalisation en cours des télécollaborations entre étudiants des établissements russes et français pour rendre le dispositif pérenne.

Les 35 heures n’ont pas été une erreur... et les erreurs commises sont réparables
Authors: Billaudot Bernard
Published: September 2020

Certains, tout particulièrement à droite, considèrent qu’il faut travailler plus pour travailler tous et en concluent que les 35 heures ont été une erreur. Cet argument ne tient pas. Il masque un désaccord politique sur le partage des fruits de la croissance. En revanche, la mise en œuvre des 35 heures a comporté un certain nombre d’erreurs. Les deux principales ont été de vouloir fixer par la loi la durée effective du travail et de ne pas avoir plafonné la compensation salariale. Ces erreurs sont réparables. Seul un tel bilan peut fonder une opposition constructive à la mise en œuvre du projet de Nicolas Sarkozy.
Organisation et gestion des services d’eau potable en France hier et aujourd’hui
Authors: Pezon Christelle
Published: September 2020

Le service d’eau potable est un service public local à caractère monopolistique. La commune est chargée de l’organiser. Si la définition matérielle du service (nature et qualité du service rendu) obéit à des standards nationaux résultant de la transposition de directives européennes, sa définition organique (type d’organisation et mode de gestion) relève d’une décision stratégique de chaque commune. Au fil du temps, la palette des organisations communales et intercommunales et des modes de gestion publique et privée proposés aux communes s’est élargie. Les préoccupations d’équité et d’efficacité, et les conditions techniques de desserte ont conduit les communes à opérer des choix stratégiques différenciés dans le temps et dans l’espace. Si aujourd’hui, au terme d’une histoire longue de 150 ans, une majorité de Français est desservie par des services d’eau potable organisés à l’échelle intercommunale et gérés par des opérateurs privés, la majorité des services est restée communale et en gestion publique. Depuis 1999, les communes se restructurent en communautés, conduisant à une réduction significative du nombre de services d’eau potable et à l’intégration de leur maîtrise d’ouvrage (production, distribution) par des unités décisionnelles de nature politique. Cette révolution organisationnelle est porteuse d’éléments déclencheurs susceptibles de modifier en profondeur la gestion des services.
Le Master The Beatles, Popular Music and Society
Authors: Brocken Michael
Published: September 2020

Au Royaume-Uni, les frais d’inscription ont tellement grimpé que les masters sont à présent inabordables pour de nombreuses personnes. Partant de ce constat, l’auteur de cet article s’est attaché à créer des ponts entre le master The Beatles, Popular Music & Society et l’attraction touristique Beatles Story. Les qualifications acquises par de nombreux guides professionnels (qu’ils possèdent le Blue Badge ou le Green Badge) ainsi que par des travailleurs de l’industrie des Beatles inscrits dans ce programme leur a ainsi permis d’améliorer leur sort. On a souvent dit des fans des Beatles qu’il leur était difficile d’obtenir un « retour sur investissement ». L’expérience relatée dans ces pages tend pourtant à démontrer que ce n’est pas une fatalité.
