Authors: Keditso Avuno , K Srikanth
Published: October 2022

Generally, there is a delay of 4 to 7 years in the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and about 20% of patients would have already developed some micro vascular complications at the time of diagnosis. To study the central corneal thickness (CCT) variation and correlate with grades of diabetic retinopathy in an adult South Indian population. The study was conducted on 184 eyes each of T2DM patients of duration more than 5 years. 98 males (53.26%) & 86 females (46.73%) were recruited. After recording age, sex and duration of diabetes, fundus examination was done. CCT measurements were determined using Ultrasonic Pachymetry. Diabetic retinopathy was classified based on ETDRS (Early diabetic retinopathy study) and mean CCT values of each group were correlated and statistically analysed using SPSS software Version 17. Out of 184 subjects recruited, 72 patients were with no diabetic retinopathy (NDR), 107 patients were with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and 5 patients were with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The mean CCT of no diabetic retinopathy (NDR), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) were found to be 526.14μm, 533.98μm and 555.20μm respectively. CCT was found to be thicker for diabetics with proliferative diabetic retinopathy compared to those with no retinopathy; the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.16). Uncontrolled diabetics (HbA1c >7%) had thicker corneas compared with diabetics with good control which was statistically significant (p=0.003). CCT was higher in diabetics having duration > 10 years than with duration <10 years but was not statistically significant (p=0.117).

Introduction: Hypertension is a global public health problem that is the leading cause of preventable death in the world and a disease which can cause many morbidities and mortality if not controlled or treated effectively. In many studies, it has been determined that anxiety and body mass index(BMI) are among the factors affecting hypertension. However, different results have been obtained in many studies in terms of the relationship between anxiety and hypertension. This study was carried out with the aim to evaluate the effect of body mass index and anxiety on blood pressure and the factors affecting blood pressure in patients who applied to outpatient clinic of family medicine at Dicle University Faculty of Medicine.Methods: 403 patients aged between 18- 65 years, who applied to outpatient clinic of family medicine at Dicle University Faculty of Medicine between 01.04.2018 and 01.07.2018, were included in this cross-sectional study. The population of the study was the province where the study was carried out, and the sample size was calculated with a power of 80%. The patients' body mass index and anxiety scores from Beck anxiety scale were calculated and measurements of arterial blood pressure were performed. The relationship between BMI, Beck anxiety scores and blood pressure of patients were investigated.Results: Of the participants, 50.1% were male, 49.9% were female and the average age was 34.11 in years. Of the patients, the mean BMI as 25.52 kg/m², the mean anxiety score as 7.40 and the arterial blood pressures as 117.80/75.54 mmHg were measured. It was found that arterial blood pressure raised significantly as the BMI group increased. While the relationship between the severity of anxiety and systolic blood pressure was significant, its relationship with diastolic blood pressure was not significant. There was a positive correlation between BMI, anxiety score and systolic and diastolic blood pressure.Conclusions: According to the results of this study, it was found that the increase in BMI and Beck anxiety scores may be related with increase in arterial blood pressure. This result showed that common health problems in primary care such as anxiety, obesity and hypertension may be associated with each other, and it can be effectively fought against hypertension and its complications with the perspective of family medicine and biopsychosocial approach.Keywords: Anxiety, Hypertension, Blood Pressure, Obesity, Body Mass Index

Published: October 2022

The aim of the study was to analyze comorbidity in patients who underwent a course of antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C with direct antiviral drugs.

Materials and methods: 288 patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C with stages of liver fibrosis from F1 to F4 according to the METAVIR scale, various genotypes, who underwent antiviral therapy with direct antiviral drugs in the period from 2018 to 2021, were under observation, with an analysis of comorbid and multimorbid diseases.

Results of the study: most often in these patients, regardless of gender and antiviral therapy regimen, lesions of the gastrointestinal tract were registered in the form of various inflammatory diseases, as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In second place in terms of frequency of occurrence, diseases of the endocrine system were diagnosed, primarily due to the development of metabolic syndrome, as well as damage to the thyroid gland, as an extrahepatic manifestation of chronic HCV infection. Slightly less marked diseases of the cardiovascular system. A relationship was found between the number of comorbid diseases and the body mass index, with an increase in which the stage of liver fibrosis progresses.

Conclusions: The frequency of comorbidity and multimorbidity in patients with chronic HCV infection is significantly higher than in uninfected patients. Patients with chronic hepatitis C with advanced stages of liver fibrosis (F3 and F4 according to the MEVIR scale) with overweight and obesity of varying severity are characterized by the highest incidence of comorbidities. A variety of extrahepatic manifestations of chronic hepatitis C determine the polymorbid profile of the patient.

Recent research has shown that bilinguals outperform monolinguals on tasks requiring non-linguistic executive control skills, thereby generating an interest in the relationship between bilingual language processing and non-linguistic control abilities. Based on this, the present study further examined the bidirectional interaction between language control and non-linguistic control in unbalanced Chinese-English bilinguals. These bilinguals completed a Flanker task in three types of language control contexts (i.e., L1, L2, and Mixed language contexts) in the interleaved word-comprehension-to-Flanker sequence and performed a picture-word matching task in three types of non-linguistic executive control contexts (i.e., color, shape and color-shape mixed contexts) in the interleaved color-shape-switching-to-word-comprehension sequence. The results showed that the Flanker effect in mixed language context was smaller than in single (L1 and L2) context, suggesting language control leads to a better non-linguistic control ability. Additionally, the language switching cost was found smaller in the mixed task context (color/shape switching), indicating that non-linguistic control can enhance the language control ability. Therefore, we conclude that there is a bidirectional interaction between language control and non-linguistic control even in unbalanced bilinguals.
Measurement equivalence of two methods of online administration of the Vocational Gender Stereotype Attitudes Scale (VGSA) - the supervised in-class and the unsupervised at-home scale administration method
Authors: Blazev Mirta
Published: October 2022

During the 2020-2022 COVID-19 global pandemic many researchers had to adopt or switch to online testing, which emphasized the need for ensuring measurement equivalence across different administration methods. The aim of this study was to determine whether gender stereotype measure (VGSA scale; Vocational Gender Stereotype Attitudes Scale) is equivalent in two different computer-based administration modes: supervised in-class and unsupervised at-home web survey. In-class web survey participants were 219 primary (11 to 16 years old; M = 12.97; SD = 1.16) and 195 secondary (15 to 19 years old; M = 16.78; SD = 0.96) school students that were surveyed in the group setting during a regular school day in their computer classrooms while the researcher was present in the room. At-home web survey participants were 144 primary (10 to 15 years old; M = 11.60; SD = 1.43) and 212 secondary (14 to 19 years old; M = 16.78; SD = 1.22) school students that were surveyed individually through the web link in their homes that was administered to them via the school administration. Results confirmed VGSA scale?s high internal reliability (?in-class = .89; ?at-home = .92), expected bi-factor structure (?2in-class (12) = 22.56, p = .032; ?2at-home(12) = 17.24, p = .141), and scalar measurement invariance across administration methods (??2(21) = 49.05, p < .001; ?CFI = -.003; ?TLI = -.001; ?RMSEA = .009; ?SRMR = .013).

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between sex, empathy, systemizing, and autistic traits in primary school children. The sample included 353 primary school children aged 7-11 years. The children?s versions of the Empathy Quotient ? EQ-C, Systemizing Quotient ? SQ-C, and children?s version of the Autism Spectrum Quotient - AQ? C were used as primary outcome measures. Girls had higher empathy, while boys had higher autistic traits. Empathy and systemizing were moderately positively correlated, but both were good predictors of autistic traits. The effect of sex on autistic traits was mediated by empathy as well as by the difference between systemizing and empathy. These results partially support assumptions of the Empathizing-Systemizing theory and the Hypersystemizing theory of autism, which should be further evaluated in a population with the autism spectrum disorder.

Many risk behaviors, such as cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and problematic social media use (PSMU), are formed and developed during adolescence. These risk behaviors may become even more acute with lasting global economic impacts of the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic. Previous research indicates that narcissism can lead to problematic social media use; however, there is a gap in the knowledge about the mediating and moderating variables facilitating this relationship. This study examines the role of fear of missing out (FoMO) as a mediator in this relationship and the role of social capital as a moderator for this mediation effect among Chinese adolescents during the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 1380 adolescents (825 females) anonymously completed the questionnaires which assessed the four variables of interest. Our results showed that fear of missing out mediated the associations between self-superior and other-inferior narcissism and problematic social media use, and this effect was stronger with other-inferior narcissism. Additionally, social capital strengthened the mediation effect of fear of missing out in the relationships between self-superior and other-inferior narcissism and problematic social media use. The results have critical implications for the prevention of adolescents? PSMU.

This article describes the evolution of the Type 1 Diabetes Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative (T1DX-QI) and provides insight into the development and growth of a successful type 1 diabetes quality improvement (QI) program. Since its inception 8 years ago, the collaborative has expanded to include centers across the United States with varying levels of QI experience, while simultaneously achieving many tangible improvements in type 1 diabetes care. These successes underscore the importance of learning health systems, data-sharing, benchmarking, and peer collaboration as drivers for continuous QI. Future efforts will include recruiting additional small- to medium-sized centers focused on adult care and underserved communities to further the goal of improving care and outcomes for all people living with type 1 diabetes.
Representativeness of survey participants in relation to mental disorders: a linkage between national registers and a population-representative survey

Published: October 2022

IntroductionSurveys and registers have provided important insights into the mental health of the community. However, both sources have strengths and limitations. While participation in surveys has been shown to be lower among those with mental disorders, misclassification and limited information on confounders are typical issues for registers.
ObjectivesTo examine if participants of the Central Denmark Region's 2017 How are you? survey were representative of the general population in terms of mental disorder diagnoses.
MethodsBy linking data from the Central Denmark Region's 2017 How are you? survey with the Danish national registers, we compared the frequency of mental disorder diagnoses among (a) participants in the survey (n = 32,417), before and after applying non-response weights, and (b) the entire population who were eligible to participate (n = 1,063,082; 16 years of age or older on 10th January 2017 and registered as living in the Central Denmark Region). Using logistic regression models, we estimated associations between being diagnosed with any mental disorder and nine general medical conditions to assess whether selection into the survey appeared to bias these associations.
ResultsBased on register data, 10.4% (n = 110,492) of the eligible population had received a diagnosis of any mental disorder prior to the date of this survey. Among the unweighted survey sample, 8.2% (n = 2,648) had received a diagnosis; once non-response weights were applied, this corresponded to 9.5%. Representativeness varied by sex, age and type of mental disorder. For example, people with organic disorders or substance use disorders were generally underrepresented among survey participants of all ages; however, representativeness of common disorders such as mood or neurotic disorders was generally good. With respect to the association of any mental disorder and general medical conditions, we found that estimates were similar for survey samples (both weighted and unweighted) compared to the entire eligible population.
ConclusionsPeople with a previous diagnosis of a mental disorder are slightly underrepresented in the survey. However, this selection bias was minimized when non-response weights were applied. Associations between mental disorders and general medical conditions did not appear to be affected by selection bias. With the application of non-response weights, the survey provided a sample representative of the general population in terms of mental disorder diagnoses.
Estratificación e incubación: ¿imprescindibles para la germinación de la nuez pecán?
Authors: Gándara Ledezma Valeria , Perla Valenzuela Jesus Edrel , Gutiérrez Coronado Marco Antonio
Published: October 2022

Las nueces de pecán (Carya illinoinensis L.) germinan de manera heterogénea y en bajos porcentajes pero, al aplicar tratamientos pregerminativos, como la imbibición, la estratificación, la incubación y la aplicación de hormonas, se puede homogeneizar el ritmo de germinación e incrementar el porcentaje de semillas germinadas. Tomando en cuenta los resultados de investigaciones previas, se requiere comparar el efecto de la estratificación desnuda contra el efecto de la estratificación húmeda en nueces de nogal pecanero para determinar un tratamiento pregerminativo óptimo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la germinación inducida mediante estratificación desnuda y húmeda en pacanas maduras. Se aplicaron tres tratamientos pregerminativos a semillas de los cultivares Wichita y Western Schley, a saber: estratificación desnuda (estratificación a 4 °C por un mes, seguida por incubación a 30 °C durante 17 días), estratificación húmeda (estratificación a 4 °C con suministro de riego, por un mes, sucedida por incubación a 30 °C durante 17 días) y un control (estratificación desnuda a 4 °C por un mes, seguida por siembra en invernadero). Aquí mostramos que la estratificación desnuda, seguida por incubación a 30 °C, puede tener un efecto benéfico significativo sobre el porcentaje de germinación, longitud de brote y raíz, así como la disminución de la incidencia de infecciones microbianas en nueces de nogal pecanero. El efecto positivo de la incubación sobre la germinación de la nuez pecán observado en esta investigación concuerda con los resultados de trabajos previos. Se observó que el porcentaje de germinación de las nueces del cv. Wichita fue significativamente superior al aplicar la estratificación desnuda en comparación con lo obtenido al emplear la estratificación húmeda. Los resultados implican que muchas semillas de pecanero pueden prescindir de la incubación para completar el proceso de germinación, sin embargo, el porcentaje de nueces del cv. Wichita que germinaron fue seis veces superior al incluir una etapa de incubación en el tratamiento pregerminativo. En el caso de las nueces del cv. Western Schley, el porcentaje de germinación fue 28 veces más elevado en las nueces incubadas que en las nueces que no fueron incubadas. Por otra parte, el presente estudio fue incapaz de probar la prescindencia de la estratificación para inducir la germinación de las nueces de pecán, ya que todas las nueces utilizadas en este experimento fueron almacenadas en refrigeración antes de ser sometidas a los diferentes tratamientos.

Published: October 2022

Recovery planning and implementation on the island of Hawaiʻi following a federally declared disaster provides an example of equitable, forward-looking disaster preparation and resilience. Community development professionals in other geographies can learn from the way planners and nonprofits used a regional equity approach to improving household and community resilience, broke down silos to have flexible funding from multiple sources ready for future disasters, and worked to build community through “resilience hubs” that provide disaster-related and ongoing services that help promote economic participation. These efforts also provide lessons for potential future Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) activity that helps prepare communities for disasters.

Abstract: The article analyses the status of the priests, parishes, and churches in Mărginimea Sibiului in the second half of the nineteenth century. The data and information selected from the Archive of Săliște Archpriestship valorize the cultural, social, and economic dimensions of the inhabitants, most of them Orthodox. As sources, we have used various general annual reports of the archpriests, inventories of parishes and archpriestships, accounts of priests on the size and status of the parishes, bishop’s circular notes, protocols of the archpriestship synods, document summaries, and school statistics. The analysis confirms the existence of so-called dynasties of priests, church funds and school funds, women’s reunions, priest conferences and religious circles. The churches have been preserved in good status and they were provided with church-specific items and valuable assets, icons, cult books, and priest outfits.
Chiesa e società in Transilvania all’inizio del XX secolo. La confutazione del prete come preliminario per il passaggio al neoprotestantesimo: il caso della parrocchia Mașca (zona di Lăpuș, provincia di Maramureș)
Authors:   PhD candidate, Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Filip-Gherman Viorel
Published: October 2022

Riassunto: Il presente saggio offre un contributo documentario significativo al fine di capire meglio i “rapporti di potere” a livello delle comunità rurali della Transilvania della seconda metà del XIX secolo ed all’inizio del successivo. In base ad una documentazione rintracciata attraverso ricerche su fondi d’archivio, collocati presso il Servizio Distrettuale Maramureș degli Archivi Nazionali della Romania, viene presentato “il dossier” di un conflitto locale protrattosi per un periodo lungo e che finì per indebolire l’identità confessionale iniziale di una comunità rurale del nord della Transilvania, rendendo così possibile il passaggio ad un’altra confessione religiosa, ad una protestante, nel caso di cui ci stiamo occupando. Si tratta della parrocchia ortodossa romena Mașca (che cambiò il nome dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, diventando Răzoare), dove il giovane prete Ioan Dobre fu incaricato, nel 1905, anche dell’incombenza di insegnante nella scuola locale, gestita appunto dalla stessa parrocchia ortodossa del villaggio. Questo episodio fu l’inizio di un rapporto teso tra il sacerdote, il comitato della parrocchia locale e il rispettivo decanato ortodosso (con sede nella città di Dej, capoluogo di provincia prima e dopo il 1918), che peggiorò durante il tempo e che si prolungò a lungo. Questo stato di cose fece sì che la Mașca fosse una delle parrocchie della zona di Lăpuș (distretto di Maramureș), più segnata dal passaggio al neoprotestantesimo.
The Council of Florence in the Theological Work of Metropolitan Alexandru Șterca Șuluțiu
Authors:   PhD, Scientific Researcher II, Babeș-Bolyai University, Academic Cultural Heritage Department, Bonda Ioana-Mihaela
Published: October 2022

Abstract: In this article we attempted to highlight the way Metropolitan Alexandru Şterca Şuluțiu resorted to some provisions of the Council of Florence during the dialogue with the representatives of the Holy See. Wishing to offer an outline of his opinion, the Romanian hierarch also wrote three theological works in which he employed the decisions of the Florentine Council as fundamental arguments. In these works, the most frequently invoked aspects were those he considered essential for the preservation of the eastern identity of the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church he was leading. Through his position, Șuluțiu sought to defend the eastern heritage of the ecclesiastical institution whose head he was.
The episcopal ministry of the metropolitan Pimen Georgescu. Projection and reforms for the married clergy (1909-1918)
Authors:   PhD, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi/Romanian Young Academy, Moldovan Ionel
Published: October 2022

"Abstract: The presentation contains the itinerary of my PhD research and the conclusion of my thesis, publically presented on October 30th, 2020, in the PhD School of History Faculty of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi. In the first part of the presentation included the main phases of my documentation, which lead me to an original perspective about how the Metropolitan Pimen Georgescu and his ecclesiastical institution (the Moldavian Metropolitanate) helped the Romanian war effort during the Great War. In its second part, I mentioned some of my research conclusions. Given that Pimen Georgescu is known in the Romanian historiography as the Metropolitan of the war and unification of the Romanian nation, I could state that my most important conclusion is perhaps that the implication of Metropolitan Pimen in supporting the Romanian war effort was not a purpose in itself, as the war was just a favorable context for materializing the perspective of the priestly extra-liturgical implication which he promoted when he was the Bishop of Galaţi and later on the Metropolitan of Iaşi."

Published: October 2022

"Abstract: The Baptist cult had organized the following congresses: Pre-Congress of 1919 (Buteni), Congress of 1920 (Buteni), 1922 (Oradea), 1928 (Curtici), 1931 (Talpoş), 1932 (Timişoara), 1935 (Arad). Between 1932 and 1934, so-called fractional congresses were organized. The congress of 1935 in Arad is labeled as the congress of union and reorganization because in 1932 the Union of Christian Baptist Churches in Romania split. In this study I will analyze both the reunion process or reunion attempts, the motivation of the reunion and the description of the reunion congress. Attempts and initiatives to reunite the two Baptist unions have been identified both within the country, by the Romanian Baptist diaspora and by the World Alliance of Baptists. The motives for the reunion were related to the rights of the Baptists, their desire for peace, and their spiritual duty to spread the gospel. The strong characters of the two unions could not be overcame except by the sufferings of the persecuted Baptists, such as raising awareness of the death of one of the most meek, industrious, and wise, and humble people of the Baptists of that time — Theodor Sida. In Arad, the Baptists organized events in sumptuous buildings since 1929 - the ordination of Lucaşa Sezonov to the Red Church, 1930 - Southeast European Baptist Congress in the Arad Theater building, 1935 - Congress of the reunion of Baptists at the White Cross Hotel and 1945 - Congress Romanian Baptist Union at the Cultural Palace in Arad."

Abstract: The present study investigates the connection between the marital status of the Romanian Greek Catholic priests in Transylvania and their promotion in the ecclesiastical career, between 1850 and 1918. In general, the promotion of ecclesiastical staff to higher offices was analysed from the perspective of their studies at prestigious universities or of their administrative experience gained during years of honourable service in parishes and low-level ecclesiastical institutions. However, we consider that for the studied group, namely the Romanian Greek Catholic canons in Transylvania, the marital status assumed by the young clergymen at the time they submitted their priestly vows was equally relevant. Prior to receiving the priesthood, the young theologians had to choose between being ordained as celibate or marrying as priests and joining the secular clergy. Those who chose celibacy had the option of advancing to the highest ecclesiastical offices, including occupying the episcopal see; the married ones had the opportunity to advance in the church ranks only to the advisory offices of the central level, where they were usually appointed after decades of exemplary church careers.

Abstract: This article aims to present a history of the church and the Lutheran/Evangelical community in the town of Pitesti starting from the middle of the 19th century and in the first two decades of the 20th century. It includes parts of the doctoral thesis entitled Modernization and urbanization in the city of Pitesti (1866-1914), defended at the University of Craiova in December 2021. In the city of Pitesti, the administrative residence of Argeș County, several Germans of Lutheran faith settled, who formed a thriving community before 1918, with their own church and a denominational primary school. The Lutheran Germans set up trading companies and were involved in social and cultural-artistic activities that paved the way: the city's first performance hall and theater known by its owners (Uklar, Lehrer), the first urban choir (Liedertafel), the first funeral insurance company (German Funeral Society of Pitesti), which meant some important landmarks of urban transformation in the modern sense.

Masalah penyalahgunaan napza merupakan masalah yang sangat kompleks. Prevalensi penyalahgunaan napza di Indonesia bisa dibilang masih cukup tinggi. Dalam menangani masalah tersebut dibutuhkan berbagai upaya. Salah satunya adalah upaya rehabilitasi. Namun program rehabilitasi yang diberikan belum mampu mencegah relapse 100% pada mantan penyalahguna napza yang sudah mengikuti program tersebut. Melihat fenomena ini, dibutuhkan upaya lain agar mantan penyalahguna napza tidak kembali relapse. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan yaitu dengan adanya dukungan sosial terutama dari keluarga. Tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk melihat bahwa dengan adanya dukungan dari keluarga yang diberikan kepada mantan penyalahguna napza, baik melalui dukungan emosional, dukungan penghargaan, dukungan instrumental, dan dukungan informasi, diharapkan dapat mencegah terjadinya relapse atau kekambuhan.

Melihat adanya peraturan yang ada di dalam UUD 1945, menyatakan bahwa akan memberikan memberikan jaminan dan perlindungan hukumkepada seluruh masyarakat indonesia, termasuk pekerjaan dan penghidupan yang layak bagi kemanusiaan, tanpa terkecuali yaitu penyandang disabilitas. Permasalahannya disini adalah masih banyak penyandang disabilitas mengalami diskriminasi atas dirinya serta pendidikan yang ditempuh mereka juga rata-rata masih dibawah. Hal itu memberikan jarak yang cukup jauh antara penyandang disabilitas dengan non disabilitas. Ketika kita melihat atau menyebut negara Indonesia, langsung tertuju, bahwa negara yang menjunjung tinggi hak asasi manusia. Bentuk perlindungan HAM ini menjadi kewajiban bagi pemerintah Indonesia. Tujuan dari research ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana pemenuhan HAM bagi pekerja penyandang disabilitas untuk survive dalam kehidupannya. Metode penelitian adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan hukum normatif dan sosiologis yuridis. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa belum sepenuhnya pemenuhan HAM khususnya pemenuhan hak bekerja bagi penyandang disabilitas dilaksanakan. Karena masih banyak benturan atau lemahnya peraturan dalam pemerintah. Hal itu  menjadi sangat penting untuk dijadikan sebagai pembenahan serta komitmen pemerintah agar penyandang disabilitas memperoleh pekerjaan dan penghidupan yang layak. Seeing the existing regulations in the 1945 Constitution, it is stated that it will provide legal guarantees and protection to all Indonesian people, including work and a decent living for humanity, without exception, namely persons with disabilities. The problem here is that there are still many people with disabilities who experience discrimination against themselves and the education they take is also still below average. This provides a considerable distance between persons with disabilities and non-disabled persons. When we see or mention Indonesia, we immediately see that it is a country that upholds human rights. This form of human rights protection is an obligation for the Indonesian government. The purpose of this research is to find out how to fulfill human rights for workers with disabilities to survive in their lives. The research method is qualitative with a normative legal approach and juridical sociology. The results of the study stated that the fulfillment of human rights, especially the fulfillment of the right to work for persons with disabilities, had not been fully implemented. Because there are still many conflicts or weak regulations in the government. This is very important to be used as an improvement and commitment by the government so that people with disabilities can get decent jobs and livelihoods.
