DINAMIKA GENDER DALAM KONTROVERSI LGBT DI INDONESIA: ANALISIS BUDAYA, AGAMA, DAN KEBIJAKAN
Authors: Safinah Safinah
Published: July 2024

The controversy regarding LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) in Indonesia reflects the tension between traditional values and modernity, as well as between religious norms and human rights. This article analyzes the factors that influence the views of Indonesian people towards LGBT, including cultural influences, religion, government policies, and the role of mass media. The findings suggest that negative views of LGBT people are influenced by conservative cultural norms and religious teachings that firmly reject homosexuality. In addition, existing government policies and regulations often do not support LGBT rights, and even tend to be repressive. Mass media also contributes to strengthening stigma against LGBT through negative representation. As a result, LGBT individuals in Indonesia often face discrimination and violence, which adversely affects their mental health and well-being. This article concludes the need for a more inclusive and sensitive approach to addressing LGBT-related issues, while respecting the dominant cultural and religious values in society

Authors: Kararmaz Ömür , Polatoğlu Çiğdem
Published: July 2024

The objective of this research is to contribute to the literature by examining the correlation between architecture and the phenomenon of contextualization, focusing on prominent approaches to “infill design.” The text discusses design attitudes and tactics applied to modern infill within the dialectic of contextualization and conceptualization introduced by Tschumi in the Event-Cities series. From the series’ triad of tactical indifference, conflict, and reciprocity, it is inferred that the dominant design attitude becomes legible through the tectonics: morphology-settlement, orientation-function, and form-mass-material. Qualitative research methods were used for data collection and analysis. The results reveal that the predominant design attitude of the library is 'conflict,' which is evident in the morphology, facade, materials, mass, and orientation, contrasting with compositional elements and the unity of buildings, indicating 'reciprocity.' This research's findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge by demonstrating how design-context dialogue can be created, potentially influencing future infill design practices.

Published: July 2024

More than 80% of neonatal deaths that occur in newborns are caused by Low Birth Weight (LBW). This increases the risk of several health problems, such as susceptibility to infections, chronic non-communicable developmental diseases, and growth and intellectual disability that may occur during infancy, childhood, and the later stages of life. Therefore it is necessary to reduce the prevalence of LBW to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The purpose of this study was to determine the determinants of LBW through a systematic review. The method used in the systematic review study was searching through the Pubmed, ProQuest, and Science Direct databases with the year of publication from January 2012 to January 2022. The results of almost all articles were obtained, which said that the motherâ€™s nutritional status, maternal age, anemia, hypertension of pregnancy, parity, ANC, and smoking affect LBW. Two factors greatly influence the seventh factor: the ANC visit factor and the mother's nutritional status. It is essential to regularly check for pregnancy as early as possible so it can be detected early. Health workers can also monitor the growth and development of the fetus, as well as the importance of fulfilling balanced nutrition during pregnancy.

Authors: Faik Muhamad
Published: July 2024

Optimal urinary tract image and able to identify differences in urinary tract image information on urography CT is urography CT tracking image with a thin slice thickness parameter of 1 mm (Sulaksono et al., 2016). However, the thinner the slice thickness will produce high noise that can affect the diagnosis. The FBP algorithm, the standard algorithm for image reconstruction on CT scans, produces streak artifacts and significantly increases image noise when the radiation dose is reduced tremendously (Willemink, de Jong et al., 2013; Willemink, Leiner et al., 2013). Iterative reconstruction iDose4 is a fourth-generation image reconstruction technique that can significantly improve image quality, noise reduction, and radiation dose reduction. This study aims to determine the difference in noise values and diagnostic information of non-contrast urography CT tracking images with variations in FBP and iDose four reconstruction techniques. This type of research is experimental research. Data collection began in May 2022 to June 2022 at the Radiology Installation of RSUD Salatiga City. The results showed that selecting iDose4 level 6 iterative reconstruction techniques produced the best image quality and diagnostic information on coronal tracking images of urinary tract CT non-contrast urography. Therefore, the iDose4 level 6 iterative reconstruction technique should be used as a standard protocol for conducting non-contrast urography CT examinations.

Tilapia productivity is influenced by many factors, one of which is Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) disease, which can cause a mortality rate due to infection reaching 90%. The development of nested PCR or semi-nested PCR methods can increase the sensitivity of detection of this virus. This study aims to detect the spread of TiLV attacking tilapia early using the semi-nested PCR method with primers designed in this study. Tilapia with TiLV symptoms were taken from a tilapia farmer in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region Province. The fish is dissected, and the kidney and lymph target organs are for RNA isolation. The RNA isolation results were converted into cDNA and then amplified in two stages through the semi-nested RT-PCR method. The detection target is the third segment of the RNA of the TiLV. The first and second amplified amplicons were then electrophorized using agarose gel and observed under UV light. The detection results showed no visible band at the first amplification. In the second amplification, each sample showed positive results with the appearance of bands in the detection target gene. The semi-nested RT-PCR method is proven to increase detection sensitivity. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the semi-nested RT-PCR method in this study is effectively used to detect TiLV. It is necessary to develop research on a field scale to test the effectiveness of this method. This research is expected to provide an alternative detection of aquaculture diseases that are more effective and efficient.

This study used a systematic review research design, namely by searching journal articles on Google Scholar, PubMed, and Research Gate databases, using keywords ("Telemedicine" OR "Tele stroke") AND ("stroke" OR "strokes" OR "cerebrovascular accident" OR "cerebral stroke") AND ("COVID 19" OR "COVID-19 Virus Disease" OR COVID19 OR "Coronavirus disease 2019").  Based on searching and searching for journal articles in 2019 - 2021, 131 journals were obtained from PubMed, 90 journals from ResearchGate, and 1000 journals from Google Scholar.  A total of 1221 journals were obtained, and 8 scientific articles fit the inclusion criteria. It can be concluded that the application of telemedicine in stroke patients during the COVID-19 pandemic has been implemented in various countries with evidence that it can reduce comorbidities, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce the recurrence of stroke patients. Telemedicine can be applied to stroke patients with clear diagnosis criteria, a multidisciplinary approach, and a complete infrastructure.
Areca nut consumption on the number of children in couples of childbearing age
Authors: Situmorang Cory Chorajon , Sari Catur Anita

Papuans have a propensity of eating areca nuts. Chewing areca nuts was historically associated with the life of the elderly. However, areca nuts have recently gained popularity among young people in Papua. In Papua, the habit of eating betel nuts, or areca nuts, has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. This study examines the correlation between areca nut consumption and the number of children among reproductive-age couples at the Public Health Center of East Sorong Work Region. This is a correlational study conducted using a cross-sectional design. We used a questionnaire about areca nut consumption habits and the number of children in reproductive-age couples. To test the hypothesis, bivariate analysis was utilized to determine whether there was a correlation between the independent and dependent variables using the Chi-Square test (X2). Based on the results, we found that the wife's habit of consuming areca nuts does not correlate with the number of children, while the husband's habit has a p-value <0.05. This indicates a correlation between consuming areca nuts had a significant effect on the number of children, with a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05 for the husband's habits and 0.031 < 0.05 for both habits. We believe that husbands who consume areca nuts frequently will affect the quality of sperm, which might result in impaired fertility and a decrease in the number of children.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a terminal condition with high morbidity and mortality. Hemodialysis is one intervention of the end stage of CKD patients. It is impair sleep quality and affect on physical and mental health of the patient, which results in individual daily activities. The purpose of the study to determine the the sleep quality among CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study used a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. A total of 45 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis participated in the study. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire was used to measure the quality of sleep among CKD patients. Frequency distribution was used to analyze the result. The results of the study showed the quality of sleep among CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis was poor. Family and healthcare provider support and attention are needed to improve patient quality of sleep. Thus the patient can survive.
Task goals constrain the alignment in eye-movements and speech during interpersonal coordination

Collaborative task performance is assumed to benefit from interpersonal alignment. Prominent views of language use and social behavior, including the Interactive Alignment Model (Pickering & Garrod, 2004), endorse this idea by building on tasks that require partners to monitor each other’s perspective (e.g., route planning) and positing that behavioral alignment enables task partners to converge conceptually. However, the benefits of alignment to different tasks that may instead need complementarity (e.g., a “divide and conquer” strategy during joint visual search) have yet to be explored. We examine this question directly by manipulating task goals (route planning vs. visual search) as forty dyads work with ten trials involving subway maps while their eye movements and speech were co-registered. In five trials, dyads planned a route from an origin to a destination (route planning); in another five trials, they searched for landmarks sharing some feature (visual search). The interpersonal alignment in the dyads’ eye fixations and word sequences was calculated using Cross Recurrence Quantification Analysis (CRQA). Dyads exhibited more gaze alignment in route planning than visual search across a range of CRQA metrics. When examining the temporal evolution of gaze alignment, we found it to vary across the trial substantially, and its increase influenced accuracy differently across the two tasks. Specifically, in visual search, higher increases in alignment at the end of the trial were associated with accurate performance. When we turned to speech data, we found that dyads exhibited longer and more entropic word sequences in route planning but had lower proportions of overall rates of word recurrence in that task. This finding suggests that the two modalities organize in a complementary fashion to optimize distinct task goals. Altogether, task goals constrain how people coordinate their behavior and provide insights into how collaborating partners distribute their distinctive multimodal behavior.
Simplicity in Bayesian Nested-Model Comparisons: Popper's Disagreement with Wrinch and Jeffreys Revisited
Authors: van Bork Riet , Romeijn Jan-Willem , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: July 2024

Bayesian nested-model comparisons involve an assessment of the probabilities for a relatively simple model and a more general encompassing model. Since the simpler model can be viewed as a subset of the more complex model it is nested in, Popper has argued that the axioms of probability are violated when the simpler model is nonetheless assigned a higher prior probability. While Popper raised this objection in the context of assigning prior probabilities to models, we argue that Popper's objection does not just concern the priors, but Bayesian model comparisons more generally. We term this `the subset problem'. A variety of solutions have been proposed in the literature. We discuss some of these solutions and combine them into a new Bayesian account, in which both the probability assignments and the algebra over which they are assigned receive a specific interpretation. Finally, we discuss a new non-Bayesian solution, in which nested models are assigned an attractiveness measure that need not be additive.
Neo-Tsymburskian Cycles in the History of Russian-Western Relations
Authors: Hahn Gordon M. ,   Expert Analyst, Corr Analytics, New York, USA
Published: July 2024

At the cusp of the 20th and 21st centuries Vadim Tsymbursky developed a theory positing three ‘strategic cycles’ in Russian-Western relations beginning from 1726 and lasting to the late 20th century. In this article the idea of Tsymbursky’s theory of cycles is applied to Russian-Western relations; it defines four completed cycles and the beginning of a fifth one during the return to dominance of the ‘security vigilance’ culture under Russian President Vladimir Putin. This study attempts to demonstrate a confluence of Western powers’ actions in their relations with Russia and its people, on the one hand, and Western influences on the internal Russian political struggle for power, on the other hand, all shaping the relational cycle in Russian-Western relations.

The article examines the foreign policy of two countries—Turkey and Serbia— through the lens of ontological security, according to which macropolitical communities perceive security threats through perception of their own history and of their place in the world. As Turkey reshapes its identity, it is facing challenges rooted in the specifics of the Republic’s formation: neo-Ottomanism and a desire to regain leadership in the Islamic world, which contradict the ideological and institutional heritage of the Republic’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Problems related to the Kurdish minority and recognition of the Armenian genocide add to the general dissonance. Serbia, whose statehood is based on the foundation laid by Slobodan Milošević, has to adapt the Kosovo myth of its foundation to the current geopolitical realities of the Southwestern Balkans. The “victimhood” and defensive narratives designed to reduce ontological insecurity barely manage to maintain the stability of this macropolitical community.
The U.S.’s Pursuit of NATO Expansion into Ukraine Since 1994

Published: July 2024

NATO expansion is often presented in the West as a response to perceived Russian aggression (Goldgeier, 2023), or, at least, NATO expansion and Russo- Western animosity are characterized as a chicken-and-egg problem, in which it is impossible to determine the initiating factor and each feeds on the other. Both views are incorrect. In the case of Ukraine, the U.S.’s pursuit of NATO expansion began almost immediately after Ukrainian independence, at a time when Russia was both friendly and weak. If anything, that lack of desire or ability to stop NATO expansion was a crucial condition permitting expansion. Once that condition disappeared, expansion violently came to a (partial) halt.
