Authors: Wikarsa Liza , Kumenap Vivie Deyby , Toar Kevin Kristi
Published: October 2022

Since 2013, the government has issued the National Health Insurance (JKN) program through the Social Security and Health Administration (BPJS Kesehatan) to provide social and health insurance services. JKN participants will get a Healthy Indonesia Card (KIS) to ease the burden of medical expenses at the hospital. During the pandemic of Covid-19, Noongan Hospital was included as one of the referral hospitals for COVID-19 patients for nearby hospitals and health centers with a coverage of the Southeast Minahasa district, North Sulawesi. Noticeably, 70% of its patients use the JKN-KIS card to get health treatments and more than half the number of patients are outpatients. To anticipate the number of outpatients visits using JKN-KIS, a web-based application was built to generate a predictive model using the C4.5 algorithm. The performance of this predictive model has a classification accuracy of 91,7% and both precision and recall of 95%. The number of outpatient visits using JKN-NIS has increased by 83,33% since the pandemic of Covid-19. Examination flow, medical check-up, queue length, doctor’s expertise, and health treatment objectives are the most influencing factors for outpatient visits. This predictive model provides future insights for the hospital management to rationally allocate healthcare resources and improve the efficiency of outpatient services. Keywords—3 Health Treatments, C4.5 Algorithm, Prediction, Covid-19

Can psychedelics provide a glimpse into the experience of death?
Authors: Mindsponge AISDL
Published: October 2022

Near-death experiences (NDEs) allow researchers to study the recollections of what people perceive during the dying process. While some people attribute NDEs to abnormal brain activity, a review of studies on this topic suggests that the patterns of experiences in NDEs are not consistent with those observed in hallucinations, illusions, or psychedelic drug-induced experiences

Client-side Web-based Model Coupling using Basic Model Interface for Hydrology and Water Resources
Authors: Ewing Gregory , Erazo Ramirez Carlos , Vaidya Ashani , Demir Ibrahim
Published: October 2022

A recent trend in hydroinformatics has been the growing number of data, models, and cyber tools which are web accessible, each aiming to improve common research tasks in hydrology through web technologies. Coupling web-based models and tools holds great promise for an integrated environment that can facilitate community participation, collaboration, and scientific replication. There are many examples of server-side, hydroinformatics resource coupling, where a common standard serves as an interface. Yet, there are few, if any, examples of client-side, resource coupling, particularly cases where a common specification is employed. Towards this end, we implemented the Basic Model Interface (BMI) specification in the JavaScript programming language, the most widely used programming language on the web. Using the BMI, we coupled two comprehensive, client-side hydrological applications (HydroLang and HLM-Web) to perform rainfall-runoff simulations of historical events as a case study demonstration. Through this process, we present how a common and often tedious task – the coupling of two independent web-resources – can be made easier through the adoption of a common standard. Furthermore, applying the standard has facilitated a step towards the possibility of client-side model as a service for hydrological models.
Major depressive disorder associated alterations in the effective connectivity of the face processing network: a systematic review
Authors: Jamieson Alec J , Leonards Christine , Davey Christopher , Harrison Ben
Published: October 2022

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is marked by altered processing of emotional stimuli, including facial expressions. Recent neuroimaging research has attempted to investigate how these stimuli alter the directional interactions between brain regions in those with MDD, however, methodological heterogeneity has made identifying consistent effects difficult. To address this, we systematically examined studies investigating MDD associated differences present in effective connectivity during the processing of emotional facial expressions. We searched five databases: PsycINFO, EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, using a preregistered protocol (registration number: CRD42021271586). Of the 510 unique studies screened, 17 met our inclusion criteria. These studies identified that compared with healthy controls, participants with MDD demonstrated (1) reduced connectivity from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to amygdala during the processing of negatively valenced expressions, and (2) increased inhibitory connectivity from the ventromedial prefrontal cortex to amygdala during the processing of happy facial expressions. Most studies investigating the amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex noted differences in their connectivity; however, the precise nature of these differences was inconsistent between studies. As such, commonalities observed across neuroimaging modalities warrant careful investigation to determine the specificity of these effects to particular subregions and emotional expressions. Future research examining longitudinal connectivity changes associated with treatment response may provide important insights into mechanisms underpinning therapeutic interventions, thus enable more targeted treatment strategies.
Theorizing Cleavage Identities: The Contribution of Cultural Sociology
Authors: Westheuser Linus
Published: October 2022

How cleavages are structured on the level of identities is a central but neglected part of cleavage theory. The contribution theorizes the identity level of cleavages and makes the case for studies of symbolic and moral boundary making to complement existing research. A first part presents a definition of the sociocultural element of cleavages as a set of antagonistic group categories endowed with moral force and pervasively deployed in everyday classifications of the self and others. It is then shown how certain aspects of this cleavage element are underrepresented in current research. Drawing on work in cultural sociology, it is suggested that the study of symbolic boundaries can help fill this gap. Concretely, it is shown how boundary making is at play in an important contemporary form of cleavage transformation, i.e. the formation of a new divide over national closure and societal liberalization, expressed by parties of the Populist Radical Right and the New Left and rooted in postindustrial class alignments.

Authors: Zhang Yong , Yin Xiao-Ying , Liu Jin-Xia
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Being in the close vicinity, chances of ureteral injury is high while doing radical operation for cervical cancer. Although the incidence is low, if it is not found during the operation, it can lead to serious complications such as urinary fistula. Timely detection and repair of ureteral injury can reduce the occurrence of serious complications.The placement of ureteral catheter before radical hysterectomy can be a good method to identify the ureter during operation to prevent injury.The objective of the study was to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the placement of ureteral catheter in radical operation of cervical cancer.
Methods: 103 patients who were diagnosed as cervical cancer and underwent operation in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jinling Hospital from January 2019 to April 2020 were analyzed in this study. The clinical stage ranges from IA to IIA. Among them, 23 cases were placed with double J stent before operation (observation group), 80 cases were operated without stent (control group). The intra-operative condition, operation and postoperative complications were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: There was a significant difference in the operation time and intra-operative blood loss between the two groups (P< 0.05), and there was no significant difference in blood transfusion between the two groups (P> 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of urinary tract infection and urinary retention between the two groups (P> 0.05). The incidence of postoperative hematuria (including microscopic hematuria) was significant in two groups（P< 0.05). Ureteric injury occurred in the 9 patients in the control group (11.25%).
Conclusion: Ureteral catheter inserted before radical operation of cervical cancer can help to identify the ureter easily, decrease urinary tract injury, shorten operation time and reduce intra-operative blood loss, and will not increase urinary retention and urinary tract infection. It is safe and effective method especially for young gynecologists.

Published: October 2022

Background: Esophagectomy is a complex operation. Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) may decrease the morbidity and mortality of resection. The aim of this study was to produce long term outcome of MIE from a single center in Nepal.
Methods: Patients with squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of esophagus/ gastroesophageal junction who underwent MIE between 2001-2018 were analyzed.
Results: 215 patients were taken for MIE during 2001-2018. There was 11.2% conversion rate. Totally MIE approach was performed in 43% cases and hybrid MIE in 57% cases. Mean operative time, intra operative blood loss, anastomotic leak, pulmonary infection, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and in-hospital mortality were 246 min, 286 ml, 13.1%, 9%, 6.8% and 3%, respectively. Final histopathology revealed most common Stages III and IV in 51.2% and 36.1%, respectively. The median survival was 34 months and 5-OS was 27%. 5-OS was 27% and o% for R0 and R+ resection (p<.001). Median survival after radical and non-radical lymphadenectomy was 36 months and 25 months (p=.003), respectively. Responders to neoadjuvant treatment had the best survival.
Conclusion: MIE has got acceptable post operative morbidities. R0 resection, early stage of disease, radical lymphadenectomy and responders to neoadjuvant treatment had got the best survival results

Published: October 2022

Introduction: Carcinoma of Penis is not an uncommon disease in Nepal and comprises 1-10% of all the malignancies in males. The objective of this study is to retrospectively analyze the geographical distribution of these patients who visited Urology clinics at B P Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital (BPKMCH), Bharatpur, Nepal during the specified time period.
Materials and Methods:Altogether 183 patients from January 2012 to December 2016 with penile cancer were included. All others who had incomplete information about their address or those patients from neighboring countries were excluded. Data was collected and analyzed to find out the commonest provinces and districts in the country with the disease.
Results: Madhesh Province also known as province No 2 was found to have the maximum disease burden. Out of the total 183 patients analysed, 87 were from Madhesh Province. The ratio of patients coming from this province was much more as compared to other provinces in the country. All the districts in this province showed a large disease burden with the maximum number of patients coming from Sarahi and Siraha districts. We did not receive any patient from Karnali Province during the specified time Period.
Conclusions: Considering the fact that we are receiving a large number of patients from Madhesh province, we think we have to start educating the public in those districts. Regular early detection health camps to evaluate for any genital symptoms or lesions would have been beneficial. Educating them of hygiene, initiating vaccination programs would benefit. Remoteness of Karnali Province might have caused nil patient visiting for care. It can be proposed that government service and hospital services should reach these places to serve these remote areas.

Authors: Maskey Swechha , Karki Smriti , Pradhan Anju , Paudyal Punam , Agrawal C S
Published: October 2022

Background: Angiogenesis plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Angiogenesis is studied by calculating the microvessel density. The purpose of this study is to determine whether angiogenesis can be documented in colorectal tumor progression and to assess whether the quantification of microvessels can be correlated to tumor aggressiveness.
Methods: This is a hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study, done from August 2015 to July 2016 after obtaining ethical approval from Institutional Review Committee. We quantified microvessel density in colorectal carcinoma. An immunohistochemical study was performed using mouse monoclonal antibody against CD34, which was used for localizing endothelial cell lined blood vessels & cluster of endothelial cells without lumen formation. Counting was done in 10 consecutive high power fields (40x). The data were analyzed after the counting was done.
Results: We compared microvessel density with age, gender, tumor size, histologic differentiation, tumoral invasion, lymph node metastasis and tumor stage. No significant correlation was found between microvessel density and the aforementioned parameters (p>0.05).
Conclusions: The correlation between microvessel density and tumor progression was non-significant. Hence we conclude that there is a need to undertake studies involving larger samples, and also assessment of the other factors associated with angiogenesis should be done to have a better information on prognostic values

Authors: Hursa Šajatović Anica , Kirin Snježana
Published: October 2022

Tehnološki procesi šivanja odjeće pripadaju zatvorenom tipu radnog mjesta s ustaljenim izvođenjem gdje radnik izvodi tehnološke operacije sličnih karakteristika. U tehnološkom procesu šivanja rad se izvodi u sjedećem položaju za šivaćim strojem, pri čemu radnik ručno i/ili strojno-ručno izvodi tehnološke zahvate. Tijekom izvođenja tehnoloških operacija radnik koristi ruke i trup za rukovanje izratkom, a noge za upravljanje gazilom šivaćeg stroja u kratkim intervalima uz kontinuirano ponavljanje tijekom cijele radne smjene čime je radnik izložen opterećenjima. Način izvođenja tehnoloških operacija ovisi o vrsti i karakteru izratka, vrsti i tehnološkoj opremljenosti šivaćeg stroja kao i uvježbanosti i vještini radnika. U radu su analizirani radni položaji radnika po tehnološkim zahvatima (uzimanje, međusobno postavljanje, šivanje, poravnavanje, odlaganje) na devet radnih mjesta u tehnološkom procesu šivanja korištenjem REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) i OWAS (Ovaco Working Analysing System) metode. Analizom dobivenih rezultata utvrđeno je da je na svim radnim mjestima prisutno opterećenje, što zahtijeva intervenciju na radnom mjestu u obliku preoblikovanja radnih mjesta. Preoblikovanje radnih mjesta obuhvaća pravilno projektiranje radnog sustava (čovjek-stroj-okolina) u skladu sa statičkim i dinamičkim antropometrijskim karakteristikama pojedinog radnika te određivanje povoljne metode rada čime se postiže niži stupanj radnog opterećenja i zamora.

Published: October 2022

Cilj istraživanja je prikazati prednosti i nedostatke rada od kuće te njegova utjecaja na psihičko i fizičko zdravlje zaposlenika kako bi se razvile preporuke koje bi pridonosile očuvanju zdravlja zaposlenika te pomogle poslodavcu da poduzme mjere koje su u njegovom području, a koje se mogu provoditi s ciljem očuvanja zdravlja zaposlenika kao i njegova zadovoljstva radom. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 63 ispitanika; 22 muškarca i 41 žena, radno aktivnih. Korišten je anketni upitnik sastavljen od 30 pitanja. U upitniku su praćene varijable koje opisuju opće podatke o zaposlenicima: veličinu i tip tvrtke zaposlenika, organizaciju radnog mjesta, opremu za rad od kuće i financiranju iste, zakonsku regulativu o radu od kuće, psihološke posljedice rada od kuće, prednosti i nedostatke rada od kuće, pojavnosti bolnih sindroma pri radu od kuće, promjene funkcija i navika pri radu od kuće te opće zadovoljstvo radom od kuće.
Rezultati su pokazali da su fleksibilnost i mogućnost usklađivanja privatnog i poslovnog života jedna od prednosti rada od kuće, a nedovoljno socijalnih kontakata i otežana komunikacija s kolegama na poslu, ometanje ukućana u radu, za sada još uvijek nedovoljna stimulacija tvrtki te zastarjelost zakonske regulative; nedostatci rada od kuće. Prednosti i nedostatke ovog rada autori su koristili kao preporuke za zaposlenike i poslodavce pri radu od kuće.
Stoga rad od kuće u budućnosti neće biti samo bijeg od pandemije korona virusa, već i produktivan način rada koji će zaposlenicima i poslodavcima uštedjeti vrijeme putovanja na mjesto rada, smanjiti broj ozljeda na radu, smanjiti stres i negativne posljedice rada te unaprijediti sadašnje mogućnosti rada mnogih tvrtki.
Specific of the Genre and System of Images in the Tragicomedy “Volodymyr” by Theophan Prokopovych
Authors: Meimei Huan
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the genre specific and the system of images in the tragicomedy “Volodymyr” written by Theofan Prokopovych. It is emphasized on the synthesis of European and authentic traditions in this work. The observance of the principle of unity of place, time and space as the main feature of this drama is determined in the analyzed tragicomedy. The research examines the specificity of the writer’s vision and interpretation of the Christianization of the Kyivan Rus’ in 988 and the introduction of Christianity as the state religion. It is also highlighted the researcher’s observance and non-observance of this historical fact. The peculiarities of creating the system of images presented in a high tragic style and in a low comic style are studied. The projecting of the historical figure of Prince Volodymyr on the Hetman Ivan Mazepa, who was the contemporary of Theofan Prokopovych, is noted. The conclusions about the innovative nature of the work in the context of the development of the Ukrainian Baroque school drama are drawn. The specificity of the genre is manifested through the synthesis of the comic and the serious features. The main characteristics of the tragicomedy are realized at the level of the system of images and an ideological and thematic spectrum.

Published: October 2022

Background:

Frailty is a clinical state of increased vulnerability and is common in patients with cirrhosis. The liver frailty index (LFI) is a validated tool to evaluate frailty in cirrhosis, comprising of grip strength, chair stands, and balance tests. The chair-stand test is an easy to conduct frailty subcomponent that does not require specialized equipment and may be valuable to predict adverse clinical outcomes in cirrhosis. The objective of this study was to determine if the chair-stand test is an independent predictor of mortality and hospitalization in cirrhosis.

Methods:

A retrospective review of 787 patients with cirrhosis was conducted. Chair-stand times were collected at baseline in person and divided into three groups: <10 seconds ( n = 276), 10–15 seconds ( n = 290), and >15 seconds ( n = 221). Fine-Gray proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the association between chair-stand times and the outcomes of mortality and non-elective hospitalization.

Results:

The hazard of mortality (HR 3.21, 95% CI 2.16%–4.78%, p <0.001) and non-elective hospitalization (HR 2.24, 95% CI 1.73%–2.91%, p <0.001) was increased in group 3 in comparison to group 1. A chair-stand test time >15 seconds had increased all-cause mortality (HR 2.78, 95% CI 2.01%–3.83%, p <0.001) and non-elective hospitalizations (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.48%–2.29%, p <0.001) compared to <15 seconds.

Conclusions:

A chair-stand test time of >15 seconds is independently associated with mortality and non-elective hospitalizations. This test holds promise as a rapid prognostication tool in cirrhosis. Future work will include external validation and virtual assessment in this population.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects approximately 204,000 Canadians. Safe and effective direct-acting antiviral therapies have contributed to decreased rates of chronic HCV infection and increased treatment uptake in Canada, but major challenges for HCV elimination remain. The 11th Canadian Symposium on Hepatitis C Virus took place in Ottawa, Ontario on May 13, 2022 as a hybrid conference themed ‘Getting back on track towards hepatitis C elimination.’ It brought together research scientists, clinicians, community health workers, patient advocates, community members, and public health officials to discuss priorities for HCV elimination in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had devastating effects on HCV care in Canada, particularly on priority populations. Plenary sessions showcased topical research from prominent international and national researchers, complemented by select abstract presentations. This event was hosted by the Canadian Network on Hepatitis C (CanHepC), with support from the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and in partnership with the Canadian Liver Meeting. CanHepC has an established record in HCV research and in advocacy activities to address improved diagnosis and treatment, and immediate and long-term needs of those affected by HCV infection. The Symposium addressed the remaining challenges and barriers to HCV elimination in priority populations and principles for meaningful engagement of Indigenous communities and individuals with living and lived experience in HCV research. It emphasized the need for disaggregated data and simplified pathways for creating and monitoring interventions for equitably achieving elimination targets.

Authors: Thompson Cheryl
Published: October 2022

Background: This article is a response to #CommunicationSoWhite—Canadian style. It probes what articles about Black Canadians have been published in the Canadian Journal of Communication’s (CJC’s) history, and what has been the focus of these articles in terms of race, racism, and colonialism.

Analysis: Using critical discourse analysis, this article examines language and voice in seven articles that focus on media representation of Blackness and/or Black visibility/invisibility.

Conclusion and Implications: Over a 20-year period, the CJC’s corpus on Black Canadians changed. The articles moved from simplified or stereotypical representations of Black culture to giving agency and voice to a heterogeneity of Black experiences. This article asks readers to consider how and when Black Canada will move from the margins of Canadian communication studies to the centre.

The submarine volcano 8.10, part of the South Iturup group of underwater volcanoes of the Kuril island arc (KIA), was studied using a proven technology of quantitative interpretation of hydromagnetic survey materials in combination with echo sounding, continuous seismoacoustic profiling, and analysis of petromagnetic properties and chemical composition of dredged rocks. The technology makes it possible to interpret directly from the original data without resorting to the procedure of their preliminary restoration in the nodes of a regular network. As a result of the performed studies, it was established that dredged andesite-basalts and andesites are representatives of different lava flows that have a single magmatic source, but differing in the conditions and dynamics of crystallization. The main carrier of the natural residual magnetization of basaltic andesites is titanomagnetite with low Ti content, and that for andesites is magnetite. In the volcanic edifice, supply channels and peripheral magma chambers are distinguished. The submarine Volcano 8.10, as well as the other KIA volcanoes studied, formed during geomagnetic inversions. The presence of hydroacoustic anomalies at the top of the volcano indicates that the manifestations of underwater gas-hydrothermal activity in the southern part of the KIA are more significant than was thought until recently.

In the 90-m river bank of the middle reaches of the Icha River, thick strata of volcano-sedimentary deposits represented by pyroclastic rocks and siliceous tuffites with layers of diatomites were studied. Representative diatom assemblages assigned to the Middle Miocene Denticulopsis hyalina Zone (14.9–13.1 Ma) indicate relatively deep-water conditions of the marine basin. Comparison with the data on diatom assemblages from reference sections of Western Kamchatka indicates that the deposits of the Tyrkachin section belong to the upper part of the Kakert Formation. The petrographic composition and lithological structure of volcanogenic formations (members 1, 2, and 4) suggest that they are the product of pyroclastic flows associated with volcanic activity in central Kamchatka. It is assumed that Members 1 and 2 were formed in subaerial conditions, as indicated by the complete absence of marine microfossils, signs of primary volcanic stratification, and the absence of layering. The sediments of Member 4 with eroded contacts and pronounced layering apparently accumulated in a subaqueous setting

The study of diatoms from the sediments of well Gz-1 (Gryazevoe Lake, Magadan Region) allowed us to identify the response of diatom communities to environmental changes in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene and establish the main stages of the transformation of the lake ecosystem. Three diatom zones and four subzones were identified based on changes in the concentration of diatom floras in sediments, the ratio of representatives of ecological groups and dominants, reflecting the evolution trend of the lake diatom flora during the transition period from the last glacial maximum to the Holocene. This trend is similar to the changes in the lake diatom communities of the Arctic regions noted for the last millennium in terms of the change of taxonomic composition and dominants. The data of diatom studies, lithological and petrophysical characteristics of sediments indicate that the most significant changes in the natural environment occurred at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary from 12.6 to 11.1 thousand years ago.

The problem of integrated implementation of technology and techniques of design thinking, design management and design leadership into public administration should be considered a priority, as this area is the institutional component that determines the level of either innovative development of a society or its stagnation and decline. The dynamic changes in the intellect, mentality, experience, life values and orientations of modern people set new requirements for leaders in the age of intellectual economy, therefore traditional theories and models of leadership no longer meet the needs of group design-thinking. The purpose of this study is to determine a leadership model most adequate to the principles and criteria of design thinking so as to adapt it to the priority use in the processes and procedures of public administration. The tasks of the study are to analyze the expediency of changes in traditional leadership models and tools oriented to new requirements for design leaders; to outline the conditions for the effective management in the “leader-follower” pair in order to substantiate the role of a leader in design-thinking process and identify the leader’s influence on the group’s performance depending on the level of his/her mastery of using design thinking methodology; to assess the level of adequacy of the 3S leadership model to the criteria and methods of design thinking. To reach the objectives of the article the method of comparative analysis was used. The results of the analysis of the known models of design thinking processes revealed that this process is a fundamental condition and basis for leaders to create an atmosphere of effective use of their own intellect and the intellect of their followers in “leader-follower” pair for joint creativity and innovation. The conclusions of the study draw attention to the feasibility of and conditions for integrating the intellect of “leader-follower” pair and using for this purpose a model of 3S-leadership, based on common behavioral phenomena of synarchy, syntelect and synergy of its members. The main condition for the group to use design thinking technology efficiently has been defined as the mastery of design thinking methodology by its leader with the simultaneous use of the 3S-leadership model to influence followers, which will allow all group members to re-orient to the criteria of the 3S-model, their intellectual activity to be organized according to the recommendations of design thinking, and the leader to transform into a real design-leader who ensures a collective synergistic effect, i.e. a joint innovative product. Authors believe that the results of this study will contribute to the development of programs for training design-thinking leaders for the national system of public administration.

Published: October 2022

Tak sedikit yang paham mengenai maksud atas ujaran yang disampaikan seorang balita, atau seorang anak di bawah usia 5 tahun. Setiap bahasa yang diucapkan, kerap sekali sukar untuk dipahami. Hal tersebut dikarenakan adanya pengucapan fonem atau kosa kata yang belum terlalu fasih saat dilafalkan. Proses pemerolehan pada seorang anak perlu dikaji dan dianalisis lebih mendalam. Oleh karenanya, peneliti tertarik untuk mengkaji pemerolehan bahasa pertama pada anak usia 4 tahun.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan atau memaparkan pemerolehan bahasa Jawa sebagai bahasa pertama pada anak usia 4 tahun. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dimana dalam pembahasannya peneliti memaparkan hasil dari penelitiannya berdasarkan fakta yang terdapat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah metode simak, rekam, dan catat. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh, jika dilihat dari aspek fonologi Raihan yang berumur 4 tahun sudah mampu dalam berujar. Meskipun terdapat beberapa fonem yang sedikit sulit untuk dilafalkan. Sedangkan pemerolehan bahasa pada tataran sintaksis, Raihan selaku subjek dalam penelitian dapat dikatakan sudah cukup baik. Sangat minim adanya penyimpangan dalam tuturan. Meskipun masih terdapat beberapa kekeliruan, secara keseluruhan penguasaan kalimat yang dikuasai oleh Raihan, lebih dominan kepada jenis kalimat deklaratif. Namun, hal tersebut sudah dapat dikatakan bahwa ujaran Raihan sudah sesuai dengan teori bahwa seorang anak pada usia 3-5 tahun tuturannya sudah jauh lebih panjang dan tata bahasanya lebih teratur.

Using a thorough analysis of the diversity of the forms, places and actors of gentrification in an attempt to isolate its ‘DNA’, the book addresses the place of social groups in cities, their competition over the appropriation of space, the infrastructure unequally offered to them by economic and political actors and the stakes of everyday social relationships.
Inconceivable Iran: To Reproduce or Not to Reproduce?
Authors: Tremayne Soraya
Published: October 2022

Celebrating the 50th volume of the landmark Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality series, this book offers a much-needed analysis of shifting reproductive policies and practices in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a society that is usually represented as either “revolutionary” or “oppressive.” Instead, Tremayne reflects on more than four decades of research arguing that changing reproductive behaviors on the part of ordinary Iranians must always be viewed against the backdrop of core cultural values and traditions, which are often reinforced, instead of radically altered, by new reproductive technologies, juridical opinions, and state policies.
