The Future of Subject in Post-Coronavirus World in the Light of Foucault’s Technology of the Self
Authors: Rakhmat Aulia
Published: October 2022

This paper aims to present the relevance of Foucault’s technology of the self to face the future of the post-coronavirus world. The significance of Foucault technology of the self lies in the practice of self-forming where the pandemic era has urged humans to evaluate their subjectivity. It is because the subject is faced with the external challenge of the biopolitics of the state as well as internal challenge of the Subject’s future anxiety. Hence, this study tries to respond to these problems by analyzing Foucault's technology of the self which was inspired by the ancient practice of the care of the self to practice self-examination in order to achieve self-mastery. In compiling this paper, the author applied a qualitative methodology through which descriptive, textual, and contextual analyses are applied to written materials related to the subject matter. By developing self-mastery techniques, Foucault presupposes the individual to be a critical and reflective subject who will actively respond to biopolitics as well as his own subjectivity.

Today, the world is being shaken by a great pandemic called Covid-19 (Corona Virus Disease). The increase from day to day in the number of patients infected with the Covid-19 virus is already difficult to control. A clear and straightforward plan is needed from the government to tackle this problem. Efforts to increase the body's resistance so as not to be easily attacked by viruses are also important. The immune system can be increased by consuming nutritious foods and sources of bioactive components that have immunostimulant activity. Natural ingredients that can be used to prevent Covid-19 are melons. The utilization of melon peel waste is currently still not optimal, this melon skin actually contains a lot of substances that are useful for health. Melon peel is rich in nutrients such as carbohydrates (69.77%) and ash (3.67%). They contain a large amount of total dietary fiber (41.69%) and antioxidants as polyphenols and flavonoids (332mg/100g extract and 95.46mg/100g extract, respectively). Identification and quantification of melon peel phenolic compounds. showed that hydroxybenzoic acid and flavones constituted their main phenolic class. 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid was the main phenolic compound in melon peel at 33.45mg/100g, followed by apigenin-7-glycoside (29.34mg/100g. This research was conducted by formulating melon peel extract in three concentration variations, namely FI (extract 10) %) FII (15% extract) and FIII (20% extract). The syrup preparation of melon peel extract obtained was then subjected to accelerated stability test. The phagocytosis test was carried out by calculating the phagocytic activity of macrophage cells. Data analysis using the Graphad Prism® application. The results obtained the watermelon rind extract syrup formula is stable after storage and can act as an immunostimulant.

Authors: GÜN ÇINĞI Tuba , YAZGAN Çağdaş Ümit
Published: October 2022

An earthquake, which can directly affect individual and social life, is a natural event that is difficult to predict. However, previous earthquake experiences can trigger earthquake risk perception and fear. Reasonable risk perception and fear generally affect earthquake preparedness behaviour positively. This study aims to reveal the earthquake risk perception, fear, and actual and perceived preparedness levels of the people in a region in Turkey where a destructive earthquake occurred. Data were collected from 388 respondents who experienced the Elazig earthquake in 2020 through a structured questionnaire. The findings indicate that earthquake risk perception and fear are high, but actual and perceived preparedness levels are low. The results showed that gender, earthquake education, the way the earthquake is explained differ significantly with the risk perception, fear, actual and perceived preparedness levels. In addition, it has been determined that risk perception, fear, actual and perceived preparedness levels are related to each other at certain levels. The research is considered necessary because it deals with many variables and offers a holistic view of the research field.

Published: October 2022

This study examined the effect of the use of gliricidia leaves and papaya leaves in rations on the growth of kacang goats. The male Kacang goat, growth age (1 - 1.5 years) as many as 12 tails with an initial body weight of 13.55 ± 0.036 kg (BW ± standard error) were used as experimental animals. The experimental design used is a complete randomized design of factorial patterns 2 x 2 with two factors, namely, gliricidia leaf factor (A) with two levels of giving (a1 15% and a2 30%), papaya leaf factor (B) with two levels of giving (b1 5% and b2 10%) so that 4 treatment combinations are formed. The combination of treatments is, a1b1, a1b2, a2b1 and a2b2. The treatment was repeated 3 times to form 12 experimental units. The parameters tested were the consumption and digesting of dry matter as well as ration nutrients, weight gain and efficiency of ration use. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and followed by the Duncan test to compare between treatments. The results showed that there was no significant interaction (P >0.05) on all the parameters measured. The response of goat to parameters is more influenced by the single effect of gliricidia leaves and papaya leaves. The response to the use of gliricidia leaves is 30% and papaya leaves are 10% higher than the level of use below. It was concluded that the use of gliricidia leaves and papaya leaves can increase goat growth but the combination has not provided a significant interaction for it requires further study with a combination of higher levels.

Published: October 2022

Over the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in female inmates entering the criminal justice system. However, in reality, empirical research in the criminal justice system focuses more on male prisoners than on female prisoners. This situation leads to a lack of discussion and debate about female prisoners in literature or secondary sources. In relation to that, this concept paper aims to fill the gap by identifying crime factors based on gender perspective, the impact of women's involvement in crime and the need for a rehabilitation program that is responsive and sensitive to gender aspects. In this conceptual paper, a large amount of literature has been dedicated to understanding women's involvement in crime and the implications of such behavior. This concept paper concludes with a recommendation to introduce gender-responsive and gender-sensitive programs to help female prisoners become productive, law-abiding and able to reintegrate with the community.

Honesty, transparency, and responsibility to the organisation depicts the integrity personality of an officer towards the organisation. Therefore, integrity is one of the components that could drive the development of the organisation to be more progressive and excellent in its specialisation. Various data could be assessed by the management to evaluate the integrity level of its staff, however it is quite difficult for the management to read through all the unstructured data and analyse them without missing any information. Accordingly, this study proposes the development of an analytical integrated technique to assess the integrity level of structured and unstructured data in the form of dashboard to make it easy for the management to analyse their staff’s data. The primary objective of this study is to examine the roles of dashboard as an alternative to visualize integrity data of staff at one higher learning institution in Malaysia. This objective could be achieved by developing a dashboard framework for integrity and generating reports and visualisations in the form of dashboard based on the respective staff. The outcome of the study is the identification of the roles of dashboard and the reporting and visualisation in the form of dashboard for the organisation’s purpose. The potential use of the dashboard system is wide, particularly for organisations that want an integrity framework for their staff information, as well as generating reports and interesting visualisations in the form of dashboard, in line with the needs of the organisation.

In estate administration, the appointment of wasi is seen as one of the significant instruments because it may expedite the process of distribution of a deceased’s estate. Hence, wasi plays a vital role as manager of the deceased’s estate as he is responsible for collecting, maintaining, and protecting the estate pending on the final distribution. On the other hand, the estate should be properly administered, or otherwise to a certain degree it will contribute harm to the well-being of the community. Morever, it should be comprehended that, in dealing with Muslims’ estate this also should be consistent with Maqasid Al-Syariah or the objectives of Islamic law. Thus, the paper attempts to examine the appointment and duties of wasi in the context of maqasid al-syariah and the concept of hifz al-mal particularly. This study is based on a qualitative study and its approach is a content analysis methodology. The study discovers that the appointment and duties of wasi is consistent with the concept of Hifz al-mal as wasi is a person who is responsible to protect the property of the deceased from any possible harm or damage (mafsadah). The findings of the study provide insights for the importance roles and functions of wasi in managing Muslims’ estate. The study concludes that the concept of preservation of property in Maqasid al-Syariah should be applied to the major players in estate administration such as personal representative, executor, administrator and trustee in order to protect the rights of beneficiaries and avoid hardship to the beneficiaries in wealth distribution.
