Published: February 2024

Data menunjukkan 80% penderita kanker serviks memeriksakan diri setelah stadium lanjut dan 94% pasien kanker serviks meninggal dalam kurun waktu 2 tahun setelah diagnosa. Deteksi dini kanker serviks adalah bentuk pengendalian kanker serviks yang efektif. wanita yang melakukan pemeriksaan deteksi dini kanker serviks, memegang peranan penting dalam pengambilan keputusan dalam memanfaatkan pelayanan kesehatan termasuk dalam hal bagaimana perilaku konsumen dalam melaksanakan pemeriksaan deteksi dini kanker serviks. Akses pelayanan kesehatan menjadi hal yang disorot dalam melakukan deteksi dini kanker leher rahim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mereview faktor akses pelayanan kesehatan terhadap pemanfaatan deteksi dini kanker serviks dengan metode literature review. Penelusuran literatur dilakukan di database PubMed, Semantic Scholar, dan Google Scholar. Kriteria inklusi pada penelitian ini adalah artikel penelitian yang terbit pada 2016-2022, menggunakan bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris, serta menggunakan desain observasional. Hasil akhir dari pencarian studi di database, didapatkan sebanyak 11 artikel yang masuk ke analisis. Segara garis besar, hasil penelitian dari 11 studi menunjukkan bahwa akses pelayanan kesehatan yang negatif seperti jarak tempuh ke puskesmas jauh, biaya pelayanan mahal, dan kurang mendapatkan informasi dapat meningkatkan risiko wanita utuk tidak melakukan deteksi dini kanker serviks. Oleh karena itu upaya yang dapat dilakukan oleh pemerintah, yaitu menyebarluaskan informasi untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat, selain itu pemerintah juga harus menyediakan pelayanan deteksi dini kanker serviks yang berkualitas dan dapat dijangkau masyarakat dalam segi jarak tempuh maupun biaya.

Authors: Siregar Gustia Arminda , Adnan Nurhayati , Salamah Qonita Nur , Sabira Salma
Published: February 2024

ABSTRAKPendahuluan: Penularan HIV dari ibu ke anak dapat terjadi selama kehamilan, persalinan, atau menyusui dengan tingkat penularan berkisar 15 - 45% tanpa pengobatan. Hampir 70% infeksi HIV pada balita disebabkan oleh ibu yang tidak menerima antiretroviral (ARV) atau berhenti menggunakan ARV selama kehamilan atau menyusui. Tujuan Penelitian: Untuk mengetahui bagaimana implementasi program Pencegahan Penularan HIV dari Ibu ke Anak di Indonesia. Bahan dan Metode: Penelitian ini adalah penelitian literature review dengan menggunakan metode PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items and Meta-analysis). Penelusuran literatur dilakukan di Pubmed, ScienceDirect, dan Scopus yang terbit pada tahun 2013-2023. Artikel yang dipilih harus berhubungan dengan program pencegahan penularan HIV dari ibu ke anak di Indonesia. Hasil/Temuan: Dari 144 artikel terdapat 10 artikel yang membahas program Pencegahan Penularan HIV dari Ibu ke Anak (PPIA) dan memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Implementasi PPIA dinilai berdasarkan dari pasien atau petugas kesehatan yang melaksanakan program. Cakupan skrining HIV dan pengobatan ARV pada ibu hamil yang didiagnosis HIV belum memenuhi target rekomendasi WHO yaitu masing-masing 95%. Ibu hamil yang memiliki tingkat pendidikan dan pengetahuan yang rendah, adanya stigma dan diskriminasi pada ibu hamil dengan HIV, serta aksesibilitas perempuan miskin dengan HIV dapat mempengaruhi penggunaan layanan PPIA. Hanya 21% dan 5% fasilitas kesehatan yang memiliki alat rapid test HIV dan profilaksis antiretroviral untuk ibu hamil. Keterlibatan fasilitas kesehatan swasta masih rendah dan perlunya pelatihan tenaga kesehatan untuk meningkatkan layanan PPIA. Model implementasi dapat digunakan dalam upaya peningkatan akses layanan PPIA. Kesimpulan: Implementasi Program PPIA di Indonesia belum sepenuhnya mencapai target WHO, seperti cakupan skrining HIV dan pengobatan ARV yang belum mencapai 95%. Kata kunci: HIV, Indonesia, Penularan ibu ke anak, Program pencegahan

Kurumsal Sürüklenme ve Eğitim Sistemi
Authors: AYDIN İnayet
Published: February 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kurumsal sürüklenme kavramını irdeleyerek; örgütlerde stratejik, misyon, uygulama, güvenilirlik, liderlik ve etik boyutlarda kurumsal sürüklenmenin nasıl ortaya çıktığını ortaya koymaktır. En genel anlamda kurumsal sürüklenme, bir örgütte zamanında tespit edilemediği için giderilemeyen ve başarısızlığa yol açan standartların kademeli ve görünüşte fark edilemeyecek şekilde bozulmasıdır. Kurumsal sürüklenme yaşayan bir örgüt, amaçlanan rotasından fark edilmeyecek kadar yavaş biçimde sürekli ve kademeli olarak uzaklaşır ve kurumsal hedeflerine uymayan günlük kararlar sonucunda öngörülemeyen biçimde kültürünü, standartlarını ve iş uygulamalarını terk ederek karmaşaya düşer. Tüm kamu personelinin üçte birinden fazlasını istihdam eden, Türkiye nüfusunun neredeyse tamamını ilgilendiren bir büyüklük ve kapsama sahip olan Milli Eğitim sisteminin yasal belgelerde yazılı olan, kabul edilmiş kurumsal amaç, strateji, ilke ve standartlarına bağlı olarak çalışmalarını sürdürebilmesi ülkenin ekonomik, toplumsal, siyasal, kültürel ve güvenlik sistemleri açısından da büyük önem taşımaktadır. Eğitim sistemindeki bir kurumsal sürüklenme, ülkenin diğer sistemlerinde de sürüklenmeye neden olacaktır. Son yıllarda eğitim politikalarında yapılan radikal ve sürekli değişikliklere, COVID 19 salgınının yarattığı belirsizlik ve kaotik ortam da eklenince eğitim sisteminde meydana gelebilecek sürüklenmenin ülkenin bugünü ve geleceği açısından birtakım onarılmaz sorunlara yol açma ihtimali söz konusudur. Birçok riski de beraberinde getirebilecek olan bu durum, eğitim kurumlarını yüksek riskli örgütler olarak değerlendirerek, kurumsal sürüklenmeyi önleyici tedbirlerin alınmasını gerektirmektedir.

Authors: URAL Ayhan , NEFAYAZ Adem
Published: February 2024

The aim of this study is to investigate teacher opinions on the concept of banking education, which describes Paulo Freire’s criticism of the education system. In this qualitative research, the data were obtained by utilizing an individual interview form. The study group of the research consisted of 28 teachers who were selected using the maximum diversity sampling method among the teachers working at the secondary school level of public educational institutions in Ankara province. The data of the study were collected in 2021 with the semi-structured interview form developed by researchers in line with expert opinion. The research data were analyzed using the content analysis method. According to the research findings, the participants’ opinions on the dimension of teacher behaviors concerning Freire’s concept of banking education, with relative variation, were that teachers’ “guiding / leading” behavior tended to stand out. Similarly, participants’ opinions regarding the dimension of student roles inclined to offer that student roles have changed from “object” to “subject”. On the other hand, teachers’ opinions on the dimension of education and training processes are that as expressed in the banking education model, the practices of recitation-oriented, rote-learning and summative assessment continue.
Farklı Etiketlenen Likert Tipi Ölçeklerin Psikometrik Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi
Authors: DOĞAN Nuri , GÜNDEĞER Ceylan , YURTÇU Meltem
Published: February 2024

Likert tipi ölçeklerin orta nokta etiketinin nasıl adlandırılacağına ilişkin birçok teorik tartışma sürerken konu hakkındaki az sayıda ampirik araştırmanın varlığı dikkat çekmektedir. Bu araştırma, farklı orta nokta etiketine sahip üç sözel ve bir ucu gömülü ölçek formunun psikometrik özelliklerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, 377 üniversite öğrencisinden, aynı özelliği ölçen ve aynı maddelerden oluşan fakat farklı tutum etiketlerine sahip dört farklı ölçek formu ile veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmada, tek boyutlu bir yapıya sahip olan Matematiksel Tutum Ölçeği'nin 14 maddelik kısa formu kullanılmıştır. Betimsel ve ilişkisel türdeki bu araştırmada elde edilen veri seti, geçerlik, güvenirlik ve ölçme değişmezliği bakımından incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, dört formun açıklanan varyans oranlarının yakın olduğunu, formların benzer ve yüksek düzeyde güvenirliğe sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi sonuçlarına göre, orta nokta etiketi “fikrim yok” olan Form 1, veriye daha iyi uyum sağlamıştır. Son olarak, formlar yalnızca yapısal değişmezliği sağlamıştır. Metrik değişmezliğin sağlanamaması madde faktör yüklerinin formlar arasında değiştiğine işaret etmektedir. Bu sonuca dayanarak bireylerin aynı kategoride yer alan farklı tutum etiketlerini ve farklı türdeki ölçekleri farklı şekillerde algıladıkları söylenebilir. Bu bulgular ışığında, araştırmacılar genellenebilirlik kuramı ve/veya madde tepki kuramı temelinde benzer çalışmaları tekrarlayarak alana deneysel kanıtlar koyabilirler.

Generative AI: a problematic illustration of the intersections of racialized gender, race, ethnicity
Authors: Hosseini Donnesh Dustin
Published: February 2024

This paper investigates how generative AI tools such as DALL-E can create imagery which (re)produce racist, gendered and racially gendered representations of peoples. This paper gives educators insights into the affordances of using generative AI for creating illustrations and images while simultaneously warning them to exercise caution through always taking a critical and ethical stance when using generative AI. By employing a decolonial lens, I use a combination of critical visual analysis and critical race semiotics to analyze a series of 16 images produced by DALL-E to demonstrate the problematic nature of using generative AI for creating representations of people. I outline the prompts employed and then provide a qualitative analysis of the images that critiques what is generated with reference to literature. Following this, I discuss the problematic nature of how racially gendered avatars are portrayed and how these creations are underpinned by contemporary values that are racist in nature.
Processing of self-related thoughts in experienced users of classic psychedelics and non-users: a source localisation EEG study
Authors: Ruban Anastasia , Magnuski Mikołaj , Hobot Justyna , Orlowski Paweł , Kołodziej Aleksandra , Bola Michał , Brzezicka Aneta
Published: February 2024

Psychedelics have gained increasing interest in scientific research due to their ability to induce profound alterations in perception, emotional processing and self-consciousness. However, the research regarding the short- and long-term impact of using psychedelics in non-controlled, naturalistic contexts remains limited. Here we aim to fill this gap and explore differences between naturalistic psychedelics users and non-users during processing of self-related thoughts, using behavioural testing combined with electroencephalography (EEG) with source localisation. To ensure robustness of our results, we included two datasets collected at two different laboratories. The results from Dataset I (N = 70) suggest that during self-related thoughts psychedelics users exhibit weaker increases in alpha and beta power in comparison to non-users, primarily in brain regions linked to processing of self-related information and memory. However, analysis of Dataset II (N = 38) did not replicate between-group effects, possibly due to the smaller sample size and spatial resolution limitations. While non-replicability restricts interpretation of our findings, this study contributes to understanding the relationship between the use of psychedelics, self-related thoughts, and well-being, which is crucial for assessing mental health impact of psychedelic substances.
Impact of a pre-test measurement of alcohol craving in cue-exposure studies: Relationship with social desirability and demand effects
Authors: Heck Michelle , Etienne Quertemont , Jessica Simon
Published: February 2024

Craving is one of the most studied concepts in the field of addiction. It is often investigated with repeated-measure experimental designs using self-reported scales. However, the explicit nature of self-reported craving scales may make them vulnerable to social desirability and demand effects. The aim of the present study was to test whether a pre-experimental measurement of craving affects its post-experimental assessment after an alcohol video exposure and whether these changes relate to social desirability, demand effects, and alcohol consumption. Seventy-five healthy volunteers aged 18–30 years were randomly assigned to two experimental groups: a pre-post and a post-only craving assessment group. They were invited to watch an alcohol-related video. Social desirability, demand effects, engagement toward the video, and severity of alcohol consumption were assessed in all participants. The results showed a significant effect of alcohol consumption (p < .001, η2p = .09) on post-experimental craving. The main effect of the repeated measure of craving was also significant (p = .04, η2p = .001), together with the interaction between these two variables (p = .03, η2p = .06). The pre-experimental craving measurement increased its post-experimental levels, but only in heavy drinkers. However, no evidence was found that these changes were related to social desirability or demand effects. Additional exploratory analyses indicated that craving increase in high alcohol drinkers was mediated by a stronger engagement toward the alcohol-related video.In summary, the repeated measurement of craving with explicit scales has a significant impact on the results of alcohol craving studies and may not always be desirable, especially when the true purpose of the study needs to be hidden from the participants. However, the present results also suggest that the pre-post experimental design is advisable when the experimenters seek to maximize the relationship between the individual levels of alcohol consumption and alcohol cue-exposure craving changes.

Published: February 2024

Within Europe, European identity formation is considered is important, as it is linked to EU support. To understand whether and how adolescents identify with Europe, we examined three processes of identity formation commitment, in-depth exploration, and reconsideration of commitment) on a short- and mid-term time scale, and their interrelations. A total of 371 German adolescents (Mage = 14.24, SDage = 0.55, 60.37% females) participated in a longitudinal study and in a ten-day daily diary study. We conducted latent growth curve analysis (LGCM) and assessed rank-order stability and profile similarity for both time scales. We ran conditional LGCMs to examine associations of both time scales. We found a significant increase of all identity processes from the beginning to the middle of the school year and a significant decrease from the middle to the end of the school year. Across ten days, growth curves varied for the identity processes. Stabilities were high for both time scales. Commitment at the beginning of the school year was negatively associated with fluctuations in commitment. Our results highlight the importance of examining different time scales and different identity domains for understanding identity development in adolescence. They further indicate that short-term processes are associated with long-term development.
Sharīʿah Screening Process of Capital Markets: An Evaluation of Methodologies
Authors: Hanif Muhammad
Published: February 2024

This study highlights the issues in the screening process of Sharīʿah-compliant stock universe from Sharīʿah and professional perspectives. We have critically analyzed Sharīʿah-compliance methodologies of selected (eight) institutions in the light of Islamic principles of business. The findings suggest multiple weaknesses in the process, including variations in tolerance limits (for harām elements), variations in the use of calculation methods (total assets and market capitalization), insufficient income purification mechanism, and confusions about the application of bayʿ al-ṣarf and bayʿ al-dayn regulations. In addition, we find lack of revisions in the tolerance limits, corresponding to the expansion of the Islamic finance market. We also find that certain important areas, such as questionable marketing and sales practices and environmental damages, are ignored in filtration. This study proposes a Sharīʿah-compliance rankings mechanism for Islamic stock markets, within agreed upon framework, based on the degree of violations.

Published: February 2024

Monitoring ecosystems should allow comparisons at local, regional, and continental scales. To this end, methodologies must capture the spatial and temporal variability caused by natural and anthropic factors, and metrics must be sensitive and responsive to environmental changes. Our aim in this research was to determine which ecosystem functioning attributes that can be captured through remote sensing best represent the spatial and temporal variability of terrestrial biomes on a global scale and to generate an array of biome-like entities, i.e., global ecosystem functional types, exclusively based on functional variables. We also evaluated the degree of complementarity of attributes and their phenometrics to describe ecosystem functioning. Using MODIS products, we estimated the seasonal dynamics of four variables related to carbon gains (the enhanced vegetation index, EVI), the radiation balance (surface albedo and surface temperature), and water dynamics (evapotranspiration). The four functional variables were evaluated in terms of (1) spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability, (2) the possibility of capturing that variability using a group of phenometrics with a clear ecological meaning, and (3) the complementarity between the most relevant functional attributes. We developed a global ecosystem functional type (GEFT) characterization that incorporated the three most informative and independent phenometrics of the four variables.Our analyses showed that the water cycle, radiation and heat balance of the surface, and carbon dynamics variability of the ecosystems of the entire planet can be synthesized by three common phenometrics that, applied to a functional variable, conform to an ecosystem functional attribute (i.e. magnitude, seasonality, and phenology of each functional dimensions). Global Ecosystem Functional Types (GEFTs) can not only track the spatial heterogeneity but also its temporal dynamics. By defining GEFTs based on the water cycle, energy balance of the surface, and carbon dynamics, we can characterize Earth's ecosystem typology in a consistent way across the whole biosphere.

Research on interpersonal relationships frequently relies on accurate self-reporting across various relationship facets (e.g., conflict, trust, appreciation). Yet, shared method biases – which may greatly inflate associations between measures – are rarely accounted for during measurement validation or hypothesis testing. To examine how method biases can impact relationship research, the present research embarked on the ironic exploration of a new construct – Pseudo – comprised of irrelevant relationship evaluations (e.g., “My relationship has very good Saturn”). Pseudo was moderately associated with common relationship measures (e.g., satisfaction, commitment), and predicted those measures three weeks later. Results of a dyadic longitudinal study suggest that Pseudo taps into method biases, particularly sentiment override (i.e., people’s tendencies to project their global relationship sentiments onto every relationship evaluation). We conclude that psychometric standards must be sufficiently rigorous to distinguish genuine constructs and associations from methodological artefacts, which can otherwise pose a serious validity threat.

In several epidemiological research disciplines biomarkers are used and measured in urine as a concentration, plainly or adjusted by creatinine excretion, as a proxy for long-term exposure or intake. The validity of this methodological choice is conditional on limited population-level variability in mean 24-hour urine volume (24h Uvol) or 24-hour creatinine excretion.Theoretical observations and data from a large collection of individual studies challenge these assumptions. At a closer look, there seems to be a complex web of interactions where the physical and economic environment and the bio-psycho-social differences between populations shape variations in exposures that may affect both individual and group averages of water hydration (24h Uvol) and physiological creatinine production.The aim of this systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) is to describe the empirical variability in mean 24h Uvol (primary outcome) and 24h urinary creatinine excretion (secondary outcome) within and across healthy, adult populations globally.
On Standard View of Disability. An Epistemic and Ethical Issue
Authors: Leani Lautaro
Published: February 2024

The Standard View of Disability (SVD) presupposes that having a disability invariably worsens a person's quality of life. Some scholars have identified that the judgements of this perspective are informed by an ableism that assumes the able-bodied perspective as the norm and attempts to isolate the body from its social determinants. Here I will try to answer the following questions: Are the generalisations that the SVD presupposes to describe the quality of life of people epistemically justified? What ethical consequences does the SVD entail for health decision-making?
To follow or not to follow - Estimating political opinion from Twitter data using a network-based machine learning approach

Studying political opinions of citizens stands as a fundamental pursuit for both policymakers and researchers. While traditional surveys remain the primary method to investigate individual political opinions, the advent of social media data (SMD) offers novel prospects. However, the number of studies using SMD to extract individuals’ political opinions are limited and differ greatly in their methodological approaches and levels of success. Recent studies highlight the benefits of analyzing individuals’ social media network structure to estimate political opinions. Nevertheless, current methodologies exhibit limitations, including the use of simplistic linear models and a predominant focus on samples from the United States. Addressing these issues, we employ an unsupervised Variational Autoencoder (VAE) machine learning model to extract individual opinion estimates from SMD of N = 276008 German Twitter (now called 'X') users, compare its performance to a linear model and validate model estimates on self-reported opinion measures. Our findings suggest that the VAE captures Twitter users' network structure more precisely, leading to higher accuracy in following decision predictions and associations with self-reported political ideology and voting intentions. Our study emphasizes the need for advanced analytical approaches capable to capture complex relationships in social media networks when studying political opinion, at least in non-US contexts.
Medical-grade radiation response of Ti-based High entropy alloys for orthopedic implant applications

Medical-grade radiation response of three Ti-based high entropy alloys (HEAs), which are considered new alternatives to conventional orthopedic implant materials, namely the HfNbTaTi, HfNbTaTiZr, and HfMoTaTiZr alloys, was studied in a medical linear accelerator. The results indicate that all three HEAs, and in particular the HfMoTaTiZr alloy, cause higher shadowing effect as compared to conventional alloys, underscoring the need for further elaboration on all aspects of biocompatibility of Ti-based HEAs prior to their utility as orthopedic implant materials.
Online Homework Systems Survey
Authors: Clinton-Lisell Virginia , Kelly Alison E.
Published: February 2024

The use of online homework systems that require purchase of an access code has become widespread. The purpose of this study is to examine student experiences with and perceptions of online homework systems with access codes. Postsecondary students (N = 966) completed a survey about the financial costs, perceptions of quality, engagement with, and learning with online homework systems. Most students (79.5%) indicated that they had been required to purchase an access code for an online homework system. Of those who had been required to purchase an access code, 29.4% reported their grade was hurt because they could not afford an access code. Students reported online homework systems were moderately helpful for learning. When considering students who have been historically underserved by higher education, Black students reported more courses with required access codes for homework and reported that online homework systems were more helpful than other students. Latino/a/x students were more likely to report their grades were hurt by not affording access codes (47.9%) than other students. First-generation students reported they avoided courses with online homework systems (36.9%) than continuing-generation students (23.9%). Overall, the findings indicate that the cost of online homework systems is a barrier to education, and alternatives should be further developed and promoted.
Developments in Islamic Finance Literature: Evidence from Specialized Journals
Authors: Hanif Muhammad , Zafar Kiran
Published: February 2024

This study documents the literary developments and classifies the literature in the area of Islamic Financial Services Industry (IFSI). Our findings are based on articles published in selected Islamic finance specialized journals for six years (2012-2017). Classification is based on multiple factors including subject/specialization areas, country of origin and publications, research methodology, and yearly progress in investigations. Findings suggest that the majority of publications are in the area of general Islamic finance and follow qualitative research methodology. Malaysia and Pakistan were found to be the most significant contributors to the literature. Although the results of empirical studies are mixed, however, the majority favor resilience of IFSI to the global financial crisis (GFC). The potential role of IFSI in poverty alleviation and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has also been highlighted. Demand for IFSI with quality services exists. The literature highlights the lack of Islamic financial literacy and skepticism about Sharīʿah compliance in practice. Need for regulatory framework and application of Islamic accounting is documented. Future research needs to focus on an objective assessment of IFSI in the light of Islamic finance objectives. Also, further investigations are needed to highlight the social role of IFSI – with a focus on CSR, zakāh, waqf and microfinance. Additionally, certain specialized areas including accounting, management, and corporate governance need more attention in future researches.
Immigrant Narratives Promote Inclusionary Attitudes Toward Immigration in a Middle-Income Country

Published: February 2024

As the number of immigrants into low- and middle-income countries continues to rise, so do concerns about host nations' increasing anti-immigration responses. Existing studies in high-income countries present promising pathways to promote immigrant inclusion. In particular, exposing host-nation members to immigrant personal narratives increases positive feelings toward immigrants and support for inclusionary policies. We assess whether, in a middle-income country where immigration's economic impact is salient to host-nation members, immigrant narratives need to address this impact so that they can influence attitudes. Meta-analysis estimates from three survey experiments in Colombia conducted 2021--2023 suggest that narrative-based interventions need not engage with economic concerns to promote positive affect toward immigrants, but when they address economic concerns they can also increase support for open immigration policies. Given that these narratives also reduce economic concerns, we find that the conditions for inclusionary interventions to be most effective are nuanced in middle-income migrant destinations.
