Published: June 2024

Homelessness poses complex health obstacles for individuals and communities. Peer and lay health worker programs aim to increase access to health care and improve health outcomes for PEH by building trust and empowering community-based workers. The scope and breadth of peer and lay health worker programs among PEH has not been synthesized. The primary objective of this scoping review is to understand the context (setting, community, condition or disease) encompassing peer and lay health worker programs within the homelessness sector. The secondary objective is to examine the factors that either facilitate or hinder the effectiveness of peer and lay health worker programs when applied to people experiencing homelessness (PEH). We searched CINHAL, Cochrane, Web of Science Core Collection, PsycINFO, Google Scholar and MEDLINE. We conducted independent and duplicate screening of titles and abstracts, and extracted information from eligible studies including study and intervention characteristics, peer personnel characteristics, outcome measures, and the inhibitors and enablers of effective programs. We discuss how peer and lay health work programs have successfully been implemented in various contexts including substance use, chronic disease management, harm reduction, and mental health among people experiencing homelessness. These programs reported four themes of enablers (shared experiences, trust and rapport, strong knowledge base, and flexibility of role) and five themes of barriers and inhibitors (lack of support and clear scope of role, poor attendance, precarious work and high turnover, safety, and mental well-being and relational boundaries). Organizations seeking to implement these interventions should anticipate and plan around the enablers and barriers to promote program success. Further investigation is needed to understand how peer and lay health work programs are implemented, the mechanisms and processes that drive effective peer and lay health work among PEH, and to establish best practices for these programs.
Rehabilitation of brachial plexus injury in contact sport: Where are the data that underpin clinical management? A scoping review
Authors: Armstrong Rebecca , McKeever Tom , Leavitt Michael , McLelland Colin , Hamilton David F.
Published: June 2024

Background

Although a common injury there is a lack of published primary data to inform clinical management of sports related brachial plexus injuries.

Methods

A systematic search was completed in Medline, CINAHL, PubMed, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science databases and Google Scholar from inception to August 2023 according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Methodological quality assessment of included articles was with the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. Studies providing primary data as to the rehabilitative management of diagnosed or suspected brachial plexus injuries sustained when playing contact sports were included.

Results

Sixty-five studies were identified and screened, of which, 8 case reports were included, incorporating 10 participants with a mean age of 19.8 (±4.09) years. There was wide heterogeneity in injury severity, injury reporting, physical examination and imaging approaches documented. 9 of 10 participants returned to competitive sports, though follow-up periods also varied widely. Whilst return to play criteria varied between studies, the most consistent indicator was pain-free shoulder range of motion and strength.

Conclusions

There is a distinct lack of data available to inform evidence-based rehabilitation management of sports related brachial plexus injury. Only 8 individual case reports contain published data reporting on 10 athletes. Further reporting is critical to inform clinical management.

Introduction

Chemical contamination and pollution are an ongoing threat to human health and the environment. The concern over the consequences of chemical exposures at the global level continues to grow. Because resources are constrained, there is a need to prioritize interventions focused on the greatest health impact. Data, especially related to chemical exposures, are rarely available for most substances of concern, and alternate methods to evaluate their impact are needed.

Structured expert judgment (SEJ) process

A Structured Expert Judgment (Research Outreach, 2021) process was performed to provide plausible estimates of health impacts for 16 commonly found pollutants: asbestos, arsenic, benzene, chromium, cadmium, dioxins, fluoride, highly hazardous pesticides (HHPs), lead, mercury, polycyclic-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAs), phthalates, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and brominated flame retardants (BRFs). This process, undertaken by sector experts, weighed individual estimations of the probable global health scale health impacts of each pollutant using objective estimates of the expert opinions’ statistical accuracy and informativeness.

Main findings

The foremost substances, in terms of mean projected annual total deaths, were lead, asbestos, arsenic, and HHPs. Lead surpasses the others by a large margin, with an estimated median value of 1.7 million deaths annually. The three other substances averaged between 136,000 and 274,000 deaths per year. Of the 12 other chemicals evaluated, none reached an estimated annual death count exceeding 100,000. These findings underscore the importance of prioritizing available resources on reducing and remediating the impacts of these key pollutants.

Range of health impacts

Based on the evidence available, experts concluded some of the more notorious chemical pollutants, such as PCBs and dioxin, do not result in high levels of human health impact from a global scale perspective. However, the chemical toxicity of some compounds released in recent decades, such as Endocrine Disrupters and PFAs, cannot be ignored, even if current impacts are limited. Moreover, the impact of some chemicals may be disproportionately large in some geographic areas. Continued research and monitoring are essential; and a preventative approach is needed for chemicals.

Future directions

These results, and potential similar analyses of other chemicals, are provided as inputs to ongoing discussions about priority setting for global chemicals and pollution management. Furthermore, we suggest that this SEJ process be repeated periodically as new information becomes available.
Determinants of longitudinal changes of CD4 cell count and survival time to death of HIV/AIDS patients treated at Yabelo General Hospital, the case of pastoralist area: Using joint modelling approach
Authors: Nura Galgalo Jaba , Guyo Arero Biqicha , Erango Markos Abiso
Published: June 2024

Introduction

HIV/AIDS is a chronic disease that challenges public health worldwide and causes morbidity and mortality in humans. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of longitudinal changes in CD4 cell count and survival time to death among HIV/AIDS patients as adults from January 2016 to December 2019 at Yabelo General Hospital. The intellectual gap in this study was focused on the study area, which means that the study related to joint modeling doesn’t exist in the pastoralist community of Borena.

Methods

This study involved 293 adult HIV-infected adults that could be collected from the recorded patient chart data, and the study design is a retrospective cohort design. The study used a Cox proportional hazard model, a linear mixed effect model, and a joint model, which is the combination of both model processes.

Results

The joint model showed that longitudinal CD4 cell count is significantly associated with survival time (p-value = 0.0253). Covariates such as visiting time, age, weight, educational status, ART adherence, and functional status were statistically significant factors associated with mean changes in the CD4 cell count of HIV patients. WHO stage, educational status, place of residence, TB, family history, and opportunistic infection disease had a significant effect on the survival time of HIV patients.

Conclusions

The estimated association parameter is a negative value, which indicates both outcomes are negatively associated, and higher values of the CD4 cell count are associated with better survival.

Published: June 2024

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sarcopenia and inflammation on the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Methods

Eighty patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer between July 2010 and December 2023 were included in this study. The psoas muscle index was used to assess sarcopenia. The C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio, prognostic nutritional index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were used to calculate the preoperative inflammatory marker levels. The prognostic factors for overall survival were determined using Cox regression analysis.

Results

Twenty-four patients were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Sarcopenia showed a significant association with advanced tumor stage. Univariate analysis revealed a significant reduction in overall survival in patients with a prognostic nutritional index of <45, C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio of ≥0.047, cancer antigen 19–9 levels of ≥130 U/mL, sarcopenia, lymph node metastasis, and vascular invasion. Multivariate analysis revealed that a C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio of ≥0.047 (hazards ratio, 3.383; 95% confidence interval: 1.384–8.689; p< 0.001), cancer antigen 19–9 levels of ≥130 U/mL (hazards ratio, 2.720; 95% confidence interval: 1.291–6.060; p = 0.008), sarcopenia (hazards ratio, 3.256; 95% confidence interval: 1.535–7.072; p = 0.002) and vascular invasion (hazards ratio, 2.092; 95% confidence interval: 1.057–4.170; p = 0.034) were independent predictors of overall survival. Overall survival in the sarcopenia and high C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio groups was significantly poorer than that in the non-sarcopenia and low C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio and sarcopenia or high C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio groups.

Conclusion

Sarcopenia and a high C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio are independent prognostic factors in patients with pancreatic cancer after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Thus, sarcopenia may have a better prognostic value when combined with the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio.
The bidirectional role of GABAA and GABAB receptors during the differentiation process of neural precursor cells of the subventricular zone
Authors: Gutierrez-Castañeda Nadia Estefanía , Martínez-Rojas Vladimir Allex , Ochoa-de la Paz Lenin David , Galván Emilio J.
Published: June 2024

The intricate process of neuronal differentiation integrates multiple signals to induce transcriptional, morphological, and electrophysiological changes that reshape the properties of neural precursor cells during their maturation and migration process. An increasing number of neurotransmitters and biomolecules have been identified as molecular signals that trigger and guide this process. In this sense, taurine, a sulfur-containing, non-essential amino acid widely expressed in the mammal brain, modulates the neuronal differentiation process. In this study, we describe the effect of taurine acting via the ionotropic GABAA receptor and the metabotropic GABAB receptor on the neuronal differentiation and electrophysiological properties of precursor cells derived from the subventricular zone of the mouse brain. Taurine stimulates the number of neurites and favors the dendritic complexity of the neural precursor cells, accompanied by changes in the somatic input resistance and the strength of inward and outward membranal currents. At the pharmacological level, the blockade of GABAA receptors inhibits these effects, whereas the stimulation of GABAB receptors has no positive effects on the taurine-mediated differentiation process. Strikingly, the blockade of the GABAB receptor with CGP533737 stimulates neurite outgrowth, dendritic complexity, and membranal current kinetics of neural precursor cells. The effects of taurine on the differentiation process involve Ca2+ mobilization and the activation of intracellular signaling cascades since chelation of intracellular calcium with BAPTA-AM, and inhibition of the CaMKII, ERK1/2, and Src kinase inhibits the neurite outgrowth of neural precursor cells of the subventricular zone.

Background

This study aimed to measure the preferences for mental health support among health professionals, their willingness to support the mental health of colleagues and associated factors.

Method

A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed from August to October 2022 within five hospitals located in Hanoi, Vietnam. A total of 244 health professionals participated in the study. Data on socio-economic status, health and COVID-19-related characteristics, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21); and preferences for mental health support services were collected by using a structured self-reported questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression models were utilized to identify associated factors with the demand for mental support services.

Results

13.9%, 17.1% and 8.6% reported having at least mild depression, anxiety and stress, respectively. There 13.9% did not seek any mental health support during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most common support included talking with friends (52.9%), family (50.8%), colleagues (47.6%) and using social networks/Internet (43.5%). There 31.1% had been aware of mental health services, but only 18.0% used this service at least once. Regarding preferences, 47.3% had a demand for mental support services, and the most preferred service was providing coping skills (25.9%), followed by skills to support others against mental problems (22.2%). Major sources of support included psychiatrists (34.4%), colleagues (29.1%) and family (27.9%). The main preferred channels for support included telephone/mobile phone (35.7%) and Internet (20.9%). Only 12.3% were willing to provide mental support for colleagues during the pandemic. Age, education, perceived mental health status, ever seeking any mental service, and DASS-21 depression score were associated with demand for mental support services.

Conclusion

This study found a lack of awareness of mental health services for health professionals, as well as moderate levels of demand for this service in this population. Raising awareness and developing tailored mental health support services are important to enhancing the mental well-being of health professionals in Vietnam to prepare for the next pandemic.
The burden of premature coronary heart disease among adults with low socioeconomic status in Argentina: A modeling study
Authors: Salgado M. Victoria , Penko Joanne , Fernández Alicia , Rios-Fetchko Francine , Coxson Pamela G. , Mejia Raúl
Published: June 2024

Background

The well-established inverse relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) cannot be explained solely by differences in traditional risk factors.

Objective

To model the role SES plays in the burden of premature CHD in Argentina.

Materials and methods

We used the Cardiovascular Disease Policy Model-Argentina to project incident CHD events and mortality in low and high-SES Argentinean adults 35 to 64 years of age from 2015 to 2024. Using data from the 2018 National Risk Factor Survey, we defined low SES as not finishing high-school and/or reporting a household income in quintiles 1 or 2. We designed simulations to apportion CHD outcomes in low SES adults to: (1) differences in the prevalence of traditional risk factors between low and high SES adults; (2) nontraditional risk associated with low SES status; (3) preventable events if risk factors were improved to ideal levels; and (4) underlying age- and sex-based risk.

Results

56% of Argentina´s 35- to 64-year-old population has low SES. Both high and low SES groups have poor control of traditional risk factors. Compared with high SES population, low SES population had nearly 2-fold higher rates of incident CHD and CHD deaths per 10 000 person-years (incident CHD: men 80.8 [95%CI 76.6–84.9] vs 42.9 [95%CI 37.4–48.1], women 39.0 [95%CI 36.-41.2] vs 18.6 [95%CI 16.3–20.9]; CHD deaths: men 10.0 [95%CI 9.5–10.5] vs 6.0 [95%CI 5.6–6.4], women 3.2 [95%CI 3.0–3.4] vs 1.8 [95%CI 1.7–1.9]). Nontraditional low SES risk accounts for 73.5% and 70.4% of the event rate gap between SES levels for incident CHD and CHD mortality rates, respectively.

Discussion

CHD prevention policies in Argentina should address contextual aspects linked to SES, such as access to education or healthcare, and should also aim to implement known clinical strategies to achieve better control of CHD risk factors in all socioeconomic levels.

Integrating knowledge-building principles into design thinking: Scaffolding innovative ideation: A systematic literature review
Authors: Seng Edwin , Tan Seng Chee
Published: June 2024

This systematic literature review explores the intersection of knowledge-building principles and design-thinking methodologies in the context of education. Design thinking, a cognitive approach to problem-solving, often encounters challenges in generating innovative ideas during its implementation in educational settings. This review examines how integrating knowledge-building principles into design thinking can address these challenges. Knowledge-building, centred on collaborative knowledge enhancement and community responsibility, offers a framework that aligns well with the iterative, creative and collaborative aspects of design thinking. The review analyses studies that discuss obstacles in idea generation, compares knowledge-building and design-thinking methodologies and explores the potential of knowledge-building to enhance design-thinking outcomes. The findings suggest that intertwining knowledge-building principles with design-thinking practices can empower students to develop and refine ideas more effectively. The review contributes to modern pedagogy by offering insights into leveraging knowledge-building principles to enrich the design-thinking process and facilitate more productive ideation. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how these two approaches can be combined to enhance students’ problem-solving and creative-thinking abilities.
Nurturing journalism students’ research orientation in practical degree programmes: The community of practice view
Authors: Ripatti-Torniainen Leena , Kivimäki Sanna
Published: June 2024

The emphasis on doctoral education in Europe calls for analyses of how bachelor’s and master’s studies in creative and practical disciplines enable graduates to carry on to Ph.D. level. This study offers a methodological framework to analyse the social and situational character of students’ dispositions to research. We investigate largely practical journalism programmes that also aim to provide all students with premises to research work. Sixteen students were interviewed at the culmination of their studies at two universities in Finland. Through Wenger’s theory of a community of practice and the method of situational analysis, we analysed researcher identities and discourses on research in the students’ speech, situations and social relations in which the participation in research practice occurred, and development trends of participation. The results suggest that journalism practice is socially and situationally prioritized over journalism research in the programmes, which undermines the efforts to engage students in research.

Published: June 2024

Cow milk allergy (CMA) triggers a clinically abnormal immunological response to cow milk proteins. To address this issue, extensive studies have explored milk alternatives from various animal and plant sources. This study introduces a method for producing white lupin milk, resulting in fermented dairy-like products (vegan yogurt and sour milk alternatives). Four commercial yogurt cultures, including two mesophilic (CHN-11, CHN-22) and two thermophilic (YC-380, YC-X11) mixed bacterial cultures, were tested, with thermophilic ones yielding superior sensory outcomes for lupin-based yogurt alternatives. Incorporating inulin (2%) enhanced sensory appeal, particularly evident in strawberry and peach-flavoured variants, which achieved sensory scores comparable to cow milk yogurts. Furthermore, white lupin-based yogurts demonstrated superior water-holding capacity (up to 47.11 g/100 g in comparison with 42.35 g/100 g measured for cow milk yogurt), influencing texture and mouthfeel. They also exhibited favourable fatty acid profiles, notably rich in beneficial unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acid (up to 10.15% and 8.43%, respectively), indicating potential health benefits. Sensory evaluation underscored the impact of starter cultures on product attributes, with certain cultures yielding more favourable results. In conclusion, white lupin emerges as a promising alternative protein source with the potential to produce high-quality dairylike products. While white lupin-based products hold promise as functional foods for individuals with specific dietary needs, further research is necessary to address potential allergenic concerns associated with white lupin proteins.
Understanding the bacteria in Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) from a bioinformatic perspective – a review
Authors: Banerjee Anindita , Karmakar Mistu , Sur Saubashya
Published: June 2024

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) houses a group of non-tuberculous mycobacteria causing pulmonary and disseminated infections. They are accountable for nodular bronchiectatic and fibrocavitary lung diseases in humans, Johne’s disease in ruminants, and respiratory diseases in birds. MAC infections pose challenges, owing to antibiotic resistance, prolonged therapy with antibiotic combinations, side effects, and risk of reinfections. Our objective was to summarize the outcome of computational research on the bacteria in MAC. This aimed to advance our understanding of characteristics, pathogenicity, and transmission dynamics to control infections. We incorporated information from the research on genomes, microbiomes, phylogeny, transcriptomes, proteomes, antibiotic resistance, and vaccine/drug target development to enhance our knowledge. It illuminated the significance of computational studies in distinguishing MAC species/subspecies and recognizing: virulence factors, lineage-specific markers, and transmission clusters. Moreover, it assisted in understanding: genomic diversity, resistance patterns, impact of polymorphisms in disease susceptibility, and taxa-induced dysbiosis in microbiomes. Additionally, this work highlighted the outcome of bioinformatic studies in predicting suitable vaccine epitopes, and novel drug targets to combat MAC infections. Bioinformatic research on bacteria within MAC has contributed to a deeper insight into the pathogens. These would facilitate better diagnosis, improved: therapeutic strategies, patient-specific surveillance, and community-level awareness.

INTRODUCTION:

Emergency department (ED)-based care is required for cirrhosis management, yet the burden of cirrhosis-related ED healthcare utilization is understudied. We aimed to describe ED utilization within a statewide health system and compare the outcomes of high ED use (HEDU) vs non-HEDU in individuals with cirrhosis.

METHODS:

We retrospectively reviewed charts of adults with cirrhosis who presented to any of 16 EDs within the Indiana University Health system in 2021. Patient characteristics, features of the initial ED visit, subsequent 90-day healthcare use, and 360-day outcomes were collected. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify predictors HEDU status which was defined as ≥2 ED visits within 90 days after the index ED visit.

RESULTS:

There were 2,124 eligible patients (mean age 61.3 years, 53% male, and 91% White). Major etiologies of cirrhosis were alcohol (38%), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (27%), and viral hepatitis (21%). Cirrhosis was newly diagnosed in the ED visit for 18.4%. Most common reasons for ED visits were abdominal pain (21%), shortness of breath (19%), and ascites/volume overload (16%). Of the initial ED visits, 20% (n = 424) were potentially avoidable. The overall 90-day mortality was 16%. Within 90 days, there were 366 HEDU (20%). Notable variables independently associated with HEDU were model for end-stage liver disease-sodium (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.044, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.005–1.085), prior ED encounter (aOR 1.520, 95% CI 1.136–2.034), and avoidable initial ED visit (aOR 1.938, 95% CI 1.014–3.703).

DISCUSSION:

Abdominal pain, shortness of breath, and ascites/fluid overload are the common presenting reasons for ED visits for patients with cirrhosis. Patients with cirrhosis presenting to the ED experience a 90-day mortality rate of 16%, and among those who initially visited the ED, 20% were HEDU. We identified several variables independently associated with HEDU. Our observations pave the way for developing interventions to optimize the care of patients with cirrhosis presenting to the ED and to lower repeated ED visits.

Published: June 2024

Kemenangan revolusi Islam Iran pada tahun 1979, Khomaeni berhasil meningkatkan kembali nilai-nilai keislaman yang sebelumnya mengalami kemunduran karena pemimpin Shah yang sangat menjungjung tinggi budaya Barat. Salah satunya yaitu ketaatan dalam penggunaan hijab bagi perempuan Iran. Kebijakan wajib berhijab bagi perempuan Iran resmi dikeluarkan pada 7 Maret 1979, tidak ada toleransi dalam hal tersebut meski sehari setelahnya demonstrasi dilakukan oleh para perempuan Iran yang mayoritas menolak kebijakan tersebut. Artikel ini menelaah mengenai resistensi perempuan Iran terhadap kebijakan wajib berhijab dengan menggunakan perspektif Feminisme Fatima Mernissi. Dalam pandangan Mernissi, hijab merupakan hasil dari kontruksi sosial dan mencerminkan dominasi laki-laki terhadap perempuan. Melihat realitas pemaksaan untuk berhijab di sejumlah negara di kawasan Timur Tengah, Mernissi mencoba untuk menelaah kembali dan menginterprertasi teks yang menjadi landasan dalam hukum berhijab.
[The victory of Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979, Khomaeni succeeded in re-increasing Islamic values which had previously suffered a setback because of the Shah's leader who highly respected Western culture.

This article examines the resistance of Iranian women to the mandatory hijab policy using the feminist perspective of Fatima Mernissi. In Mernissi's view, the hijab is the result of social construction and reflects the dominance of men over women. Seeing the reality of being forced to wear the hijab in a number of countries in the Middle East region, Mernissi tries to re-examine and interpret the text that forms the basis for the hijab law.]
Male Order dalam Konstruksi Seksualitas Perempuan Minangkabau
Authors: Mardian Sulistyati
Published: June 2024

Perempuan dalam sistem matrilineal Minangkabau memiliki peran dan posisi utama, namun kekuatan itu hadir bersamaan dengan semangat adat yang mendefinisikan sekaligus melemahkan. Realitas ini memantik sejumlah pertanyaan: apakah pengistimewaan perempuan dalam tradisi Minangkabau benar-benar berangkat dari kepedulian an sich? Mungkinkah konsep matrilineal Minangkabau memperantarai hasrat adat yang (sangat mungkin) maskulin? Apakah keadaan ini ada kaitannya dengan penguatan identitas keislaman di Sumatera Barat? Ketiga persoalan tersebut didiskusikan melalui tinjauan kritis terhadap tiga konsep adat, yaitu padusi, bundo kanduang, dan sumbang duo baleh. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa konstruksi seksualitas perempuan adalah elemen substansial untuk dapat membaca jejak maskulinitas dalam suatu sistem budaya. Tesis utama artikel ini ada pada ambivalensi feminitas dan maskulinitas yang bekerja dalam sistem matrilineal Minangkabau. Feminitas perempuan dimuliakan dan dilanggengkan secara adat, namun bersamaan dengan pengawasan dan pembatasan yang juga secara adat. Sementara itu, maskulinitas laki-laki ditekan dan dikesampingkan secara adat, namun bersamaan dengan penguatan dan pengutamaan mereka dalam ruang-ruang adat. Belakangan, aturan-aturan syariat (syarak-isasi) seksualitas perempuan semakin menguatkan kutub ambivalen ini secara ideologis dan praksis.
[Women in the Minangkabau matrilineal system have the central role and position, but the power comes together with the defining and debilitating by adat. This reality raises several questions: Does the privilege of women in the Minangkabau tradition come from awareness? Does the Minangkabau concept of maternity mediate the masculine custom's desire? Does it have anything to do with strengthening the Islamic identity in West Sumatera? In this article, I discuss these questions through a critical analysis of the adat concept: padusi, bundo kanduang, and sumbang duo baleh. This article shows that the construction of female sexuality is a substantial element in being able to read the traces of masculinity in a cultural system. The thesis of this article is the ambivalence of femininity and masculinity in the Minangkabau matrilineal system. On the one hand, women's femininity is glorified and perpetuated but controlled and restricted by custom. On the other hand, male masculinity is muted and sidelined, but their identity is strengthened in custom spaces. Recently, the sharia rules (syarak-ization) of women's sexuality have increasingly emphasized this ambivalence ideologically and practically.]

BN, korban pelecehan seksual kategori catcalling, telah memberikan rekaman berisikan konten asusila secara pribadi kepada HIM. Pemberian rekaman tersebut bertujuan membuktikan sebagai bagian dari korban peristiwa asusila tersebut. Atas perbuatan tersebut, BN mendapatkan vonis bersalah dengan dakwaan sebagai penyebar konten asusila. Undang-Undang tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE) terlalu elastis dalam mengatur pemidanaan bagi penyebar konten asusila sehingga bisa menjerat korban pelecehan seksual. Paper ini menawarkan rumusan pertimbangan dan penafsiran hukum untuk melindungi perempuan korban pelecehan seksual dari dakwaan sebagai penyebar konten asusila. Tindak pidana penyebaran konten asusila tidak seharusnya berlaku bagi korban pelecehan seksual yang mana tindakannya menyebarkan konten asusila tersebut bertujuan untuk melindungi dirinya dan membuktikan dirinya sebagai korban pelecehan seksual. Tujuan penyebaran tersebut harus menjadi pertimbangan Hakim untuk membebaskan pelaku penyebaran dari tindak pidana. Sementara itu, Hakim seharusnya menggunakan metode penafsiran hukum teleologis atau sosiologis dalam menyikapi korban pelecehan seksual dari dakwaan sebagai penyebar konten asusila. Strategi pembacaan dekonstruktif akan memperkuat metode penafsiran ini. Dengan melakukan intertekstualitas antara UU ITE dengan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana, penafsiran ini akan memahamkan maksud tindak pidana penyebaran informasi elektronik yang “melanggar kesusilaan” terbatas kepada penyebaran secara publik.
[BN, a victim of sexual harassment in the catcalling category, personally gave a recording containing immoral content to HIM. The tape aims to prove herself as the victim of this immoral event. BN received a guilty verdict on charges of spreading immoral content for this act. The Law on Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE) is too elastic in regulating punishment for distributing immoral content so that it can trap victims of sexual harassment. This paper offers a formulation of legal considerations and interpretations to protect women victims of sexual harassment from being charged with spreading immoral content. The crime of distributing immoral content should not apply to the victims of sexual harassment, where their actions in spreading immoral content aim to protect themselves and prove themselves to be part of the victims of sexual harassment. The Judge must consider the purpose of such dissemination to free the perpetrators of the dissemination of criminal acts. Meanwhile,  Judges should use teleological or sociological law interpretation methods in addressing victims of sexual harassment from charges as propagators of immoral content. Deconstructive reading strategies will strengthen this method of interpretation. By carrying out intertextuality between the ITE Law and the Criminal Code, this interpretation will understand that the intent of the criminal act of spreading electronic information which "violates decency" is limited to public dissemination.]

Pemahaman teks-teks keagamaan yang tidak komprehensif menjadi awal tuduhan atas ketidaksesuaian konsep gender dan feminism dengan ajaran Islam. Sebagian feminis menyebutnya dengan interpretasi agama yang patriarkis. Namun seringkali feminis muslim terjebak dan hanya focus pada pemahaman ulang atas wacana agama dan tidak memperhatikan bagaimana pemahaman-pemahaman baru tersebut dapat diterapkan. Feminis sosialis yang lebih cenderung memperhatikan aspek sosial di dalam masyarakat memiliki pemikiran yang lebih aplikatif. Penelitian ini berusaha untuk menggabungkan kedua corak pemikiran feminism tersebut dalam rangka optimasi kesetaraan gender. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, penelitian ini dilengkapi data primer dari karya empat tokoh yang dijadikan sampel penelitian, yakni Nawal El-Saadawi dan Michel Foucault sebagai representasi dari feminis social serta Amina Wadud dan Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir sebagai representasi dari feminis Islam. Hasilnya dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemikiran feminis Islam yang lebih menitikberatkan pada reinterpretasi agama dapat dipadukan dengan pemikiran feminis sosialis yang banyak berfokus pada kajian kekuasaan yang patriarkis. Implementasi kajian agama yang moderat dapat dilakukan melalui konsep kekuasaan yang tidak patriarkis.
[The incomprehensible understanding of religious texts is the beginning of accusations of incompatibility between the concepts of gender and feminism with Islamic thoughts. The feminists call it a patriarchal interpretation of religion. However, Islamic feminists are often trapped and only focus on re-understanding religious discourse and ignore how these new understandings can be applied. Socialist feminists who tend to pay more attention to social aspects in society have more applicable thoughts. This study seeks to combine the two styles of feminist thought to optimize gender equality. This study used qualitative research methods and used primary sources from four feminists expert, namely Nawal El-Saadawi, Michel Foucault, and as socialist feminists Amina Wadud and Faqihuddin Abdul Kadir as an Islamic feminist. The results said that Islamic feminist thought, which focuses more on religious reinterpretation, can be combined with socialist feminist thought, which focuses on studying patriarchal power. Implementing religious moderation studies can be done through the intermediary of the non-patriarchal power.]

Fenomena kekerasan seksual yang terjadi di kalangan pesantren menjadi perhatian  banyak pihak, karena sejatinya pesantren merupakan lembaga yang dianggap aman untuk belajar para santri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh faktor ketimpangan relasi kuasa dan persepsi santri terhadap pencegahan kekerasan seksual di pesantren. Penelitian ini menggunakan mix method dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dalam pengambilan data survei dan pendekatan kualitatif dalam menganalisis data dari responden melalui observasi, wawancara dan studi pustaka dari berbagai sumber tertulis dan media online. Hasilnya yaitu, pertama, perilaku kekerasan seksual khususnya di pesantren merupakan dampak dari ketimpangan relasi kuasa. Kedua, upaya pencegahan kekerasan seksual di pesantren dilakukan dengan monitoring dari pesantren, mau’idzoh atau nasehat kyai, aturan resmi tentang batasan antara laki-laki dengan perempuan, dan kajian kitab kuning tentang pendidikan seksual dan pemahaman gender melalui kitab ‘Uqūdu al-Lujain, Qurratul ‘Uyūn, Fathul Izār, dan fikih wanita. Ketiga, kasus kekerasan seksual yang dilakukan oknum pesantren melalui doktrinnya, dapat menurunkan tingkat kepercayaan sehingga perlu tindakan pencegahan dengan kerjasama yang terintegrasi dan penegakan hukum yang seimbang.

Third, cases of sexual violence committed by pesantren through their doctrines can reduce trust so that preventive measures  are needed with integral cooperation and balanced law enforcement.]
Pluralismo o monismo lógico, relativismo o determinismo lingüístico: ¿cómo la lógica y el lenguaje influencian nuestro razonamiento?
Authors: Santos Jorge Alejandro , Massolo Alba , Durante Santiago
Published: June 2024

Este trabajo pretende relacionar dos debates emparentados sobre cómo la lógica y el lenguaje influyen sobre el pensamiento. Existe un eje de discusión en relación a si hay una pluralidad de lógicas o un único sistema lógico como criterio de evaluación para cualquier contexto de razonamiento. En lingüística, el debate surgido a partir de las interpretaciones fuertes y débiles de la hipótesis Sapir-Whorf ha centralizado la discusión en torno al grado de influencia o determinación del lenguaje sobre el pensamiento. Desde perspectivas y marcos teórico-conceptuales diferentes, lógica y lingüística delimitan y problematizan un campo de indagación y reflexión. El artículo, desde una mirada transdisciplinar, pretende dar cuenta y postular vasos comunicantes entre estos debates atendiendo a los matices de cada enfoque, así como proponer una hipótesis propia sobre la problemática planteada.
