A pandemia provocada pela CoVid-19 tem se expandido e levado à uma grave crise mundial. A partir do contexto brasileiro, este ensaio objetiva reunir, sob a perspectiva da terapia ocupacional social, reflexões sobre essa pandemia com foco nas questões socioeconômicas e políticas. Concluímos que os impactos dessa crise possuem a marca da desigualdade, uma vez que expõem a população mais pobre a maiores riscos de contaminação e à intensificação das vulnerabilidades sociais. O Estado brasileiro tem empreendido uma necropolítica, que pouco responde às demandas desses grupos populacionais e imputa à classe trabalhadora uma conta que é estrutural do capitalismo. AbstractThe pandemic caused by CoVid-19 has been expanding and leading to a serious global crisis.

Authors: Correia Ricardo Lopes
Published: August 2020

O ecomapa é uma ferramenta criada em 1975 pela assistente social e professora americana Ann Hartman e difundida em todo o mundo. Trata-se de um diagrama para registrar as percepções de indivíduos e coletivos sobre suas participações em redes sociais de suporte.  O objetivo deste artigo é informar as recomendações da literatura sobre o uso do ecomapa e sugerir um quadro de orientação para seu processo de construção na prática terapêutica ocupacional. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura entre os anos de 2003 e 2016, na qual foi utilizado o instrumento para análise de revisão narrativa e integrativa de Ursi.  Dos 28 artigos selecionados para esta pesquisa, apenas dois correspondeu a prática em Terapia Ocupacional. Conclui-se que, com a significativa expressão do ecomapa no campo da saúde e particularmente na Enfermagem, suas contribuições em práticas e conhecimentos transversais são relevantes, pois possuem como unidade convergente a categoria redes sociais de suporte, que tanto interessa aos diversos contextos de prática em Terapia Ocupacional. Sugere-se, assim, o aproveitamento do uso do ecomapa em práticas terapêuticas ocupacionais além das tradicionalmente dadas no campo da saúde.

A Terapia Ocupacional utiliza atividades como recursos terapêuticos, tais como as Atividades de Lazer, podendo o esporte ser uma delas. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivos caracterizar, pela percepção dos paratletas de handebol, os benefícios e as limitações na prática esportiva, e discutir as ações do terapeuta ocupacional nesse âmbito. O instrumento metodológico utilizado foi a entrevista estruturada, audiogravada e posteriormente transcrita. Sete paratletas de Handebol adaptado foram entrevistados, sendo todos homens, com idades entre 32 e 51 anos. Os sujeitos destacaram, dentre os benefícios da prática esportiva, a melhoria de aspectos sociais, controle emocional e controle motor, além de compreenderem a atividade como promotora de benefícios para a saúde. As dificuldades foram menos relatadas, se comparadas aos benefícios, porém foram mencionadas as questões financeiras e as limitações motoras. Em relação aos profissionais da saúde, os entrevistados destacaram os fisioterapeutas e ortopedistas, porém identificaram que o terapeuta ocupacional também pode atuar no campo esportivo. Discute-se que o terapeuta ocupacional pode contribuir para o reconhecimento da funcionalidade, dos facilitadores e barreiras na realização da atividade esportiva e que essas, entendidas enquanto lazer, podem ser ampliadas e incentivadas pelos profissionais que atuam na atenção básica, ampliando o acesso e promovendo a participação na comunidade, como previsto nas estratégias da Reabilitação Baseada na Comunidade. Assim, o terapeuta ocupacional, ao atuar no campo do esporte adaptado, pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento da atividade, considerando seu conhecimento sobre as ações humanas e sua contribuição para a autonomia e a qualidade de vida.

AUTHORSHIP MALPRACTICES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Authors: Rivera Horacio
Published: August 2020

Although the variety of research malpractices in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is similar to those documented in developed nations, authorship misuse and related issues appear to be more prevalent in the former. This article focuses on some authorship-related topics in LMIC, namely authorship disputes, excessive co-authorship and monetary incentives, authorship issues in student-mentor relationships, and authorship patterns in North-South collaborations. Universities and official bodies in LMIC must supervise the integrity of the whole research process, provide instructions on responsible research and authorship, set up the required postgraduate training programs, foster good role models in authorship, and designate an ombudsperson to advice and respond to complaints of researchers, especially students and junior faculty. Lastly, a recent framework that combines descriptive and normative elements and then uses proper metaphors to achieve an ethical definition of authorship useful in international settings is highlighted.

Published: August 2020

Artikel ini membincangkan tentang penyertaan wanita dalam pilihan raya di Indonesia setelah pentadbiran Presiden Soeharto. Penyertaan wanita dalam pilihan raya melalui isu kuota bermula pada tahun 2004. Pengumpulan data dengan cara kualitatif yang disokong data kuantitatif. Dokumen paper ini menjelaskan dua faktor dinamik dalam penyertaan wanita pada politik parlemen. Pertama faktor undang-undang dan polisi, kedua faktor parti politik dalam rekrutmen wanita. Hasil penyelidikan ini menjelaskan bahawa pilihan raya 2004, 2009, 2014, dan 2019 relatif meningkat jumlah bilangan wanita masuk parlemen. Hal ini disokong oleh perubahan undang-undang pilihan raya yang menyatakan bahwa wanita wajib disertakan dalam senarai calon sekurangnya 30% dan satu daripada tiga calon wajib ada wanita. Undang-undang ini adalah perubahan dari kata “cadangan” menjadi “wajib” dalam menetapkan calon. Ayat wajib itu menjadi penting dalam perubahan peningkatan bilangan wanita terpilih. Selain faktor undang-undang ada faktor parti kader yang menjadi catatan isu iaitu tidak maksimalnya parti dalam sistim rekrutmen. Kurangnya wanita parti kader yang cekap dalam politik menjadikan parti merekrut wanita segera pada masa pendaftaran calon. Wanita-wanita yang dipilih adalah mereka yang terkait dengan keluarga elit politik. Wanita yang datang dari elit politik ini dianggap berpeluang menang dalam pilihan raya kerana mereka mempunyai modal dan jaringan yang kuat. Keadaan ini juga sering menepikan wanita yang sudah lama aktif dalam parti tapi tidak cukup modal untuk kempen. Nombor satu dalam senarai calon di kertas undi menjadi penting kerana mereka yang terpilih pada tiap pilihan raya lebih dari limapuluh peratus namanya di nombor satu, isu ini yang juga sering menepikan wanita.

Furthermore, the study employed qualitative and quantitative methods for the purpose of analysis. Data was obtained using 600 questionnaires and 18 staff via interview session. The findings show that status and age of respondents have no significant influence on safety and security, cleanliness, facilities, as well as services except between the categorical variables; quality, punctuality and price which have significant differences tangled with the performance of commuter service. From all the responses that were pointed out by interviewees, the most significant reason for the persistence of the problems is MyCommuter launched by KTM, which is the unbalanced momentum of systematic management. Also, it was realised that the heterogeneous variations of lower fairness within the system will affect the punctuality, functions of commuter, the breakdown of the trains, limitation of commuters, and etc in a negative direction. Important areas of priorities for the improvisation of commuter services are the holistic coordination of effective and continuous monitoring of system in terms of systematic management. Lastly, the present study suggests conducting an extensive study in comparing KTMB and ETS services to enhance the quality of their services.

The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between different forms of social capital and subjective well-being in Malaysia. Subjective well-being is observed based on two aspects: happiness and life satisfaction. The analysis using data from the World Value Survey with 1300 respondents. Based on the ordered probit regression analysis, it is found that bonding and linking social capital contribute to happiness. Happiness also increases for those who are more active in associations. However, bridging social capital based on trust of people from other religion and ethnic group as well as people whom an individual does not know have adverse contribution to happiness. Only linking social capital has a positive relationship with life satisfaction. In terms of religiosity, importance of God seems to have positive relationship with both happiness and life satisfaction. Other factors such as health status, income, marital status and education also have the influence on Malaysians’ happiness and life satisfaction levels.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan perkaitan antara kemurungan dan keamatan sokongan sosial (keluarga, kawan, orang yang penting) dengan kepuasan hidup dalam kalangan pelajar universiti awam di Selangor, Malaysia. Terdapat 368 orang pelajar yang terlibat dalam kajian ini yang telah dipilih melalui teknik persampelan rawak mudah. Tiga alat pengukuran telah digunakan iaitu Beck Depression Inventory oleh Beck et al. (1961) untuk mengukur kemurungan, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support oleh Zimet et al. (1988) mengukur keamatan sokongan sosial (keluarga, kawan, orang yang penting) dan kepuasan hidup diukur dengan Satisfaction With Life Scale yang dibangunkan oleh Diener et al. (1985). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa kemurungan mempunyai perkaitan signifikan negatif dengan kepuasan hidup (r = -0.598, p=0.000). Selain itu, ketiga-tiga jenis keamatan sokongan sosial iaitu sokongan keluarga, sokongan kawan dan sokongan orang yang penting mempunyai perkaitan signifikan dengan kepuasan hidup (r = 0.534, p = 0.000), (r = 0.399, p = 0.000) dan (r= 0.421, p = 0.000) masing- masing. Tambahan lagi, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa tiada perbezaan signifikan antara faktor jantina dengan kepuasan hidup. Kesimpulannya, hasil kajian ini menjelaskan bahawa pentingnya hubungan sosial antara keluarga dan orang sekeliling supaya tidak cenderung ke arah kemurungan seterusnya meningkatkan kepuasan hidup.

Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) menyarankan agar guru-guru sentiasa berinovasi dalam merancang strategi pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) mengikut perkembangan teknologi terkini. Kaedah pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) amat penting bagi memastikan guru menyampaikan pembelajaran dengan berkualiti dan murid mudah memahami proses pengajaran yang berlaku terutamanya bagi matapelajaran yang melibatkan pengaturcaraan. Hal ini kerana pengaturcaraan merupakan satu pembelajaran yang sangat kompleks dan sukar difahami. Oleh yang demikian, e- pembelajaran merupakan satu kaedah pedagogi yang diperkenalkan bagi memudahkan pelajar memahami konsep pengaturcaraan dengan berkesan. Tujuan kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mengkaji kebolehgunaan e-pembelajaran menggunakan platform Massive Open Online Learning (MOOC) dalam pengajaran pengaturcaraan di sekolah menengah. Kajian ini menggunkan reka bentuk kuasi-eksperimen iaitu melibatkan seramai 60 orang sampel yang terdiri daripada pelajar Tingkatan 3 Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Muda. Sampel ini dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan iaitu 30 orang pelajar daripada kumpulan kawalan dan 30 orang pelajar daripada kumpulan rawatan. Kajian mendapati kedua-dua kumpulan kawalan dan rawatan mempunyai pengetahuan sedia ada pada tahap sederhana. Manakala hasil ujian t menunjukan terdapat perbezaan min yang signifikan pencapaian ujian pra dan pasca antara kumpulan kawalan dan kumpulan rawatan. Kajian ini membuktikan bahawa penggunaan e-pembelajaran MOOC dapat meningkatkan tahap pengetahuan pelajar walaupun hasil dapatan t-test menunjukan perbezaan peningkatan ujian pra dan pasca bagi kumpulan rawatan hanya sedikit.

Pakatan Rakyat adalah parti gabungan pembangkang yang terbesar ditubuhkan pada 1 April 2008. Perbezaan ideologi politik dan perseteruan politik khususnya antara Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) dengan Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) tidak menghalang mereka untuk bekerjsama dengan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) bagi membentuk satu gabungan politik. Walaupun menyedari akan perbezaan yang wujud antara mereka khususnya antara PAS dan DAP, mereka masih boleh terus bekerjasama hingga Pakatan Rakyat tersebut mencapai kejayaan terbesar dalam sejarah parti pembangkang di Malaysia dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU-13) tahun 2013. Kajian berbentuk kualitatif ini dijalankan bagi mengenalpasti strategi-strategi yang digunakan oleh Pakatan Rakyat dalam mengekalkan kelestarian bersama antara semua parti dalam gabungan tersebut. Seramai 17 orang informan yang terdiri daripada ahli politik PKR, PAS, DAP dan United Malay National Organisation (UMNO), golongan aktivis politik dan ahli akademik dalam bidang sains politik ditemubual bagi mendapatkan pemahaman mengenai strategi kelestarian kerjama ini. Hasil dapatan temubual menunjukkan bahawa kejayaan Pakatan Rakyat ini adalah disebabkan mereka mempunyai matlamat politik yang sama dan ketokohan kepimpinan. Berkongsi matlamat yang sama membolehkan semua pihak yang berbeza parti politik dan ideologi mampu mengenepikan perbezaan yang wujud demi mencapai satu matlamat yang dikongsi bersama. Matlamat DAP, PAS dan PKR dalam Pakatan Rakyat dalam menghadapi PRU-12 adalah untuk mewujudkan satu lawan satu dalam pilihan raya tersebut dan seterusnya mereka berkongsi matlamat yang sama untuk menawan Putrajaya dan membentuk kerajaan persekutuan pada PRU-13. Kesimpulannya, matlamat politik yang sama dan ketokohan pemimpin mampu membentuk kelestarian kerjasama dalam Pakatan Rakyat.
