ARCA TOKOH DEWA BERSORBAN DI MUSEUM NASIONAL INDONESIA
Authors: Murdihastomo Ashar
Published: April 2021

The National Museum of Indonesia has a unique statue of a god depicted wearing a turban. The museum manager named this statue Shiva Mahadeva based on the third eye’s presence on his forehead. Based on this uniqueness, a more in-depth study carried out by taking the question What is the meaning of the turban-shaped head covering the statue’s depiction? Is there a connection between the depiction and the arts and culture of the community? This study aims to know the meaning implied in depicting the turban and trying to find out the social picture of the statuemaking community. This study conducted using descriptive research methods with contextual analysis. This study indicates that the statue depicted is not a statue of Shiva Mahadeva but a combination of Shiva and Vishnu known as Hariharamurti. The turban’s meaning is similar to the crown carved on the statue, which shows the character’s dignity and majesty. The life of the community’s arts and culture influences the depiction of the Hariharamurti statue, which is synonymous with freedom without leaving religious rules. In general, the arts and cultural aspects of the community that affect the statue are indicated as a community environment closely related to the priest/rishi’s activities. Museum Nasional Indonesia memiliki arca tokoh dewa unik yang digambarkan mengenakan sorban. Pengelola museum memberi nama tokoh tersebut adalah Siwa Mahadewa berdasarkan pada keberadaan mata ketiga yang ada di dahinya. Atas dasar keunikan inilah maka dilakukan kajian lebih mendalam lagi dengan mengambil pertanyaan, apa makna penutup kepala berbentuk sorban dalam penggambaran arca tersebut? adakah keterkaitan penggambaran tersebut dengan kehidupan seni-budaya masyarakat? tujuan yang ingin dicapai dari kajian ini adalah mengetahui makna yang tersirat dalam penggambaran sorban dan mencoba untuk mengetahui gambaran sosial masyarakat pembuat arca. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut maka kajian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan analisis secara kontekstual. Hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa arca yang digambarkan bukanlah arca Siwa Mahadewa melainkan gabungan antara Siwa dengan Wisnu yang dikenal sebagai Hariharamurti. Pemaknaan sorban yang dikenakan oleh arca tersebut memiliki kesamaan dengan mahkota yang biasa dipahatkan pada arca yaitu menunjukkan kemuliaan dan keagungan dari tokoh tersebut. Kehidupan senibudaya masyarakat jelas mempengaruhi gaya penggambaran arca Hariharamurti tersebut yang identik dengan kebebasan tanpa meninggalkan aturan agama. Secara umum, aspek seni-budaya masyarakat yang mempengaruhi arca tersebut diindikasikan sebagai lingkungan masyarakat yang erat terkait dengan aktivitas pada pendeta/resi.

Published: April 2021

Nonlinear finite element models, whenever is possible, shall be validated using experimental data. The efficiency of the nonlinear analysis depends on the choice of finite element models parameters. In the present work the calibration is conducted with the goal of observe and minimize the difference between the experimental data and the nonlinear finite element models, using two distributed plasticity modelling approaches. Several models with different parameters of distributed plasticity are used herein and compared against experimental data. The results show that the nonlinear analysis, when associated to a proper modeling strategy, is capable to successfully simulate experimental data.

Authors: Starling Cláudia , Saraiva Ana Maria , Silva Ana Carolina Araújo da
Published: April 2021

Nas últimas décadas, observa‑se um movimento de reelaboração do papel social da universidade para abarcar as dimensões constitutivas de sua reorganização na perspectiva da responsabilidade social da universidade (RSU). O objetivo deste artigo é discutir sobre a formação e o processo de constituição identitária dos/as docentes como nuances fundamentais da RSU, que podem ser evidenciadas nas narrativas dos/as professores/as. A partir da perspectiva (auto)biográfica, discutimos os tensionamentos vivenciados nesse contexto de mudanças por um professor e uma professora em processo de inserção na docência universitária que atuam em cursos de Licenciatura em diferentes universidades federais brasileiras. Orienta‑nos a questão: como pensar a universidade em que o processo de formação e constituição da identidade docente esteja atrelado às condições necessárias para que a universidade se estruture a partir de uma perspectiva mais ampliada de seu papel social? As narrativas apresentadas indicam que uma importante dimensão da RSU é a garantia ao direito e às condições de formação, inserção e trabalho dos/as professores/as vinculados/as ao seu entorno social, favorecendo a quebra de concepções mercantilistas de docência e formação.
Modernity’s University, Social Justice, and Social Responsibility
Authors: Cossa José
Published: April 2021

Centered on the experience of Eduardo Mondlane in three universities in the United States, this article highlights the importance of universities to assume a social responsibility stance that is critical of its philosophical foundation and roots itself on perceptions of human beyond the current cartesian ethos. Conceptually, the article centers its discourse on the divergent conceptualizations of human drawn from humanism and uBuntu, as foundational differentiators of perceptions and practices of justice and social  responsibility. Theoretically, it leans on a critique of modernity and humanism by presenting uBuntu and Cosmo‑uBuntu as alternative philosophical and theoretical lenses for problematizing and explaining justice and social responsibility. Methodologically, it draws from reflexivity, hermeneutics (especially, textual criticism), and archival documentary research. Its purpose is to inspire universities to engage in reflexivity about their social responsibility claims and to encourage an intentional commitment to social responsibility that is informed by exterior to modernity theorizing.
Garantia da Qualidade do Ensino Superior em Angola
Authors: Manuel Tuca , Mendes Maria da Conceição Barbosa
Published: April 2021

Este texto sintetiza reflexões em torno das dinâmicas e racionalidades subjacentes ao funcionamento do ensino superior (ES) em Angola, tendo em conta a sua prestação social face às recorrentes observações e indagações a respeito da qualidade. Parecendo ancorar‑se no cumprimento escrupuloso das leis em detrimento da sua responsabilidade social, o ES angolano questiona‑se sobre como garantir a qualidade sem extrapolar as exigências legais. As reflexões procuram gerar a compreensão sobre a formação de um indivíduo pleno adaptado às exigências do mercado de trabalho e cidadão do mundo eticamente pautado. Objetivou‑se refletir a correlação entre o paradigma instrumental e a perspetiva socioconstrutivista para a garantia da qualidade do ES, enquanto processo social. O estudo qualitativo assenta na análise documental e de conteúdo da Lei de Bases do Sistema Educativo angolano e os Estatutos da Carreira Docente Universitária e não Universitária. Os resultados indiciam a prevalência de uma abordagem instrumental do sistema de garantia da qualidade do sistema de ES em Angola.
Cultural Mosaic Beliefs and Group Performance as Influenced by Attachment
Authors: Papke Kathryn
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this study is to test how group differences in attachment style interact with the degree of cultural mosaic beliefs present in multicultural groups to dramatically alteridentification, trust and cooperation among group members (Brodt, Adair & Lituchy, 2008). Firstly I hypothesize that priming attachment style among group’s members will lead to changes in their group experience, particularly their cultural mosaic beliefs. The three different attachment styles will have different effects on their cultural mosaic beliefs, measured using an existing scale (Chuapetcharasopon, Brodt, Adair, Lituchy, Neville, & Lowe, 2011). Secondly I hypothesize that priming attachment style among group members will lead to differences in the number of overall ideas and the number of culture-related ideas generated in a group brainstorming task. Attachment styles can change group interaction, causing these differences in group performance. Thirdly I hypothesize that the effect of attachment style on the number of overall ideas and number of culture-related ideas will be moderated by mosaic beliefs. If attachment style does have an effect on performance, it will depend on the interaction of attachment style and the process of establishing mosaic beliefs within a group. The data is currently being collected. The outcomes of this study are valuable for research as they will help our understanding of the cultural mosaic construct as it relates to multicultural groups in the Canadian workplace. It will also help our understanding of multicultural workgroups and the role attachment style plays in a group setting.
2. The Effects of Sociosexual Orientation, Gender and Relationship Context Cues in Audio Narratives on Heterosexual Men's Genital and Subjective Sexual Response.
Authors: Brandon Jenna
Published: April 2021

Past research suggests that heterosexual men show a category-specific pattern of sexual arousal, showing greater arousal to stimuli depicting women than those depicting men.Gender is not, however, the only factor affecting sexual arousal in men. Research has shown that men regard relationship context as an important factor in sexual arousal.Additionally, men show greater sexual arousal to novel than to familiar sexual stimuli. Sociosexuality, the preference for committed or uncommitted sexual relationships,affects behaviour and partner preferences. The current study investigates the relationship between sociosexuality, gender cues, relationship context cues, and sexual arousal in menby assessing 25 heterosexual men’s genital and subjective sexual arousal to 18 audio narratives describing sexual or neutral encounters with female and male strangers,friends, or long-term relationship partners. I expect that heterosexual men will show greater subjective and genital arousal in response to stimuli depicting a sexual encounter with a woman than to stimuli depicting a sexual encounter with a man, replicating previous research. I hypothesize that there will be an interaction between gender cues and relationship context, such that men will show greater sexual arousal to stimuli depicting novel female sexual partners (strangers and friends) than to stimuli depicting familiar female sexual partners (long-term partners). I predict that higher sociosexuality scores, indicating a greater preference for uncommitted sexual relationships, will correlate with greater sexual arousal to uncommitted relationship contexts (strangers or friends), whereas lower sociosexuality scores, will correspond with greater sexual arousal to the committed relationship context (long-term partner).
9. Seashells in the Jordanian Desert: a Cross-Cultural Analysis
Authors: Rice Samantha
Published: April 2021

The remains of ancient communities have been found at Wadi Ramm and Humayma, Jordan in the midst of what is now the Jordanian desert. In past times these sites were located along caravan routes and were populated by Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine, and early Islamic peoples. Despite the fact that these sites are located tens of kilometers from the seashore, seashells are frequently found in the layers associated with the different population groups. As of yet, shells from the 1996-1997 excavations at Wadi Ramm and from the 2008-2010 excavations at Humayma have not received in depth analyses allowing them to be correctly identified, quantified, and associated with significant archaeological contexts. Archaeomalacology (the study of molluscs in archaeological contexts) is a vital part of deciphering ancient human diet and activity. It is also critical in determining past environments and transportation systems. Clearly these shells came from the sea, but how did they get to these remote desert locales? Based on the preliminary descriptions provided by the field excavators, the photographs of the Wadi Ramm shells, and the actual Humayma shells which are at Queen’s, I am creating a catalogue to identify, describe, and quantify the variety of mollusc species present. This catalogue incorporates all of the significant data in one place, thus allowing me to look for patterns in the frequency, condition, and probable function of the shells. This analysis will lead to a better understanding of the diet and cultural practices of the different ancient inhabitants at Wadi Ramm and Humayma.

Landscape of Los Angeles in the film work of Michael MannIn Los Angeles, the space of constant travel, the dubious refuge for tired nomads are hotel rooms, unfurnished houses, and shopping centers. The city’s territory is defined by a labyrinth of roads, railroads, and runways. They allow to escape from the metropolis but they often lead back to the abandoned spaces. A study of representation of the postmodern city is an element of the analysis of the world of endless wandering which characterizes the dynamic ecosystem of the present day.

His travels led him to the landscape of virtual reality, thus completing the range of beings and landscapes possible to see. Therefore, the article will deal with the issues connected with the correlation between landscape and technology which mediates it, with memory of landscape which is shaped by technology, a director and the landscape itself.
School Systems and the PTA: Partnering in the Time of COVID-19
Authors: Smith Henry
Published: April 2021

School systems and parents have fought over control of K-12 education for more than 150 years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on the need for school systems and parents to build cross-sectoral partnerships to deliver that education. One vehicle for this cross-sectoral partnership is the Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) found in every school district. Partnering is not a novel idea in education. School districts partner with colleges and universities, after-school providers, and school-based health systems. It is time for educators and their communities to reexamine and strengthen their cross-sectoral partnership with the nongovernmental organization that is already there, the local PTA.
Encouraging Interdisciplinary Collaboration: A Study of Enablers and Inhibitors Across Silos in Higher Education
Authors: Roper Laura
Published: April 2021

Within UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) there is evidence of limited interdisciplinary communication and engagement (Macfarlane, 2006). The focus on discipline-based working practices has created a lack of awareness regarding research taking place elsewhere that may overlap with or bolster work being undertaken by the researcher (Bess & Dee, 2012). Teams that work across discipline-based boundaries acknowledge their differences and work to build trust through finding the strengths in researcher differences, and in so doing are more likely to succeed in collaboration (Johnston et al, 2011). This article builds upon the work of Siemens et al (2014) who developed a model for effective interdisciplinary collaboration. The research looked at the impact of, and engagement with, interdisciplinary collaboration on individual researchers and their differing needs. Through identifying the enablers and inhibitors of interdisciplinary activities in addition to the different needs and approaches of researchers at different stages of their careers, a framework for best practice has been developed.
Assesment of obesogenic factors in school-age children
Authors: Yılmazbaş Pınar , Gökçay Gülbin
Published: April 2021

Background. The prevalence of obesity in childhood is increasing all over the world and the World Health Organization (WHO) regards obesity as one of the most important public health problems. The aim of our study was to investigate the changes in body mass index (BMI) in children between 6 and 11 years of age and to evaluate the factors affecting this change in two different schools.
Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional epidemiological study between January and March 2016 in two different schools. School age children from two different ages (6 and 11 years) participated in the study. Children`s sociodemographic characteristics and daily habits were evaluated by a questionnaire. Weight, height, body fat ratio were measured.
Results. Of all 495 students, 270 were in the 6-year old group. According to BMI classification 21.2% of students were overweight and 14.5% obese. From 6 to 11 years of age percentages of overweight and obese students increased slightly (1%). The mean daily screen time was high among overweight and obese students (p < 0.05). The obesity rate (15.9%) was higher in public school, than in private school (6%). There was an obesogenic environment in the public school; sport facilities were limited, there was a canteen selling junk food and fizzy drink, but there was no free drinking water. Screen times of 11 year-old students were longer, and regular breakfast rates were lower than those of 6 year-old group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions. In our study prevalence of obesity was 14.5%, and overweight was 21.2%. According to our findings obesogenic environment seemed to be a contributing factor of obesity. Screen time should also be considered in attempts to prevent obesity.

Published: April 2021

Background. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of anemia and hepatotoxicity associated with aspirin use in patients with acute rheumatic fever.
Methods. Patients with acute rheumatic fever followed at Erciyes University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Cardiology between 2015-2018 were reviewed retrospectively.
Results. A total of 286 patients with acute rheumatic fever were analysed. Aspirin treatment was started in 53 of the 286 patients (18.5%) due to arthritis. The mean age of the patients who used aspirin was 10.7 ± 2.5 years. Aspirin-induced hepatotoxicity developed in 9 (17%) of the 53 patients. Naproxen or ibuprofen was given to these patients as an alternative to aspirin. No side effects occurred in patients receiving naproxen or ibuprofen. In addition, 30% of 53 patients were initially anemic. The mean duration of aspirin use in the hepatotoxic patients who had anemia was longer than patients without anemia (p=0.02).
Conclusions. Patients with acute rheumatic fever should be closely monitored for aspirin hepatotoxicity. When aspirin hepatotoxicity develops, naproxen or ibuprofen treatment can be used safely.

Published: April 2021

Background. Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common and serious complication in patients with leukemia. Hemostasis and inflammation are two interrelated systems in response to infection. We aimed to investigate the course of thrombin formation in febrile neutropenia attack of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Methods. Thrombin generation was monitored in children treated for ALL at diagnosis of febrile neutropenia (FN) (t < sub > 0 < /sub > ), at 48 < sup > th < /sup > hour of FN (t1) and after recovery from neutropenia (t < sub > 2 < /sub > ).
Results. Twenty-nine patients and 50 healthy children as control were enrolled into the study. Mean endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) and mean peak value of thrombin results at t < sub > 1 < /sub > were significantly higher than at t < sub > 0 < /sub > , t < sub > 2 < /sub > and control groups, respectively. A positive but statistically nonsignificant correlation between ETP values at t < sub > 1 < /sub > and duration of neutropenia was observed.
Conclusion. Although thrombin generation is enhanced both due to chemotherapy or malignancy itself, our results revealed that thrombin formation also increased in neutropenic infection of children with leukemia.
Transient positivity of anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA autoantibody in febrile children: a case-control study
Authors: Shahramian Iraj , Salahifar Mehrdad , Akbarizadeh Majid Reza , Mohammadi Mohammad Hasan , Bazi Ali
Published: April 2021

Background. Fever is a physiological response activated by integrative interactions between the neuronal and immune systems. The association of fever with the development of autoantibodies against various self-antigens is controversial. We here evaluated if fever was associated with increased levels of anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA autoreactive antibodies in children.
Methods. This was a case-control study performed the Amir-Al-Momenin Hospital of Zabol City from January to December 2018. Febrile children (N=135) and apparently healthy counterparts (N=135) were included. Total IgA and anti-tTG IgA were measured by ELISA.
Results. From 270 children evaluated, 144 (53.6%) and 126 (46.4%) were males and females, respectively. The mean age was 4.7 ± 2.6 years. The mean total IgA titer was 208 ± 100 mg/dl, and the mean anti-tTG IgA titer was 15.9 ± 68 mg/dl. There was a significant difference in the mean titer of anti-tTG IgA between apparently healthy controls (1.97 ± 1.12 mg/dl) and febrile children (30.2 ± 94.9 mg/dl, p=0.002). Positivity for anti-tTG IgA was observed in 16 (11.8%) out of 135 febrile children while no subject in the control group had positive results. One out of the 16 positive cases showed persistent elevated levels after fever disappearance. On biopsy examination, this child was confirmed to have celiac disease.
Conclusions. We showed that fever can trigger the production of anti-tTG IgA autoantibody in children. It is recommended for pediatricians to be vigilant in interpreting anti-tTG IgA results during fever episodes and repeat positive cases after the cease of fever. It is also recommended to reassess anti-tTG IgA seropositivity in other clinical settings in future studies.

Background. In recent years, many studies have evaluated the increasing incidence of asthma and chronic respiratory diseases among children living close to rural areas with pesticide application. Pesticide exposure in 266 children (126 girls and 140 boys) in Şanlıurfa, a cotton-producing province in Turkey, was explored in this work. Four different villages spread over 40 km2 were included.
Methods. Measurements of peak expiratory flow (PEF) in 266 children were conducted in late June, before intensive pesticide applications in the cotton-producing fields. The measurements were repeated for 72 of 266 children after pesticide application in late August. PEF, particulate matter with diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > ), particulate matter with diameter less than 10 μm (PM < sub > 10 < /sub > ), temperature, humidity, and wind speed were measured.
Results. After pesticide application, mean PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > and PM < sub > 10 < /sub > values were significantly increased compared to before pesticide application (p < 0.001 for both parameters). After pesticide exposure, nasal discharge, sneezing, burning and itching in the eyes, cough, sputum production, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness were significantly increased (p < 0.001). The mean PEF value was demonstrated to decrease significantly after pesticide application (p < 0.001). Moreover, significant negative correlations were noted between PEF and PM < sub > 10 < /sub > and between PEF and PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > (p < 0.001).
Conclusions. Intensive pesticide application causes respiratory dysfunction and increased respiratory complaints in children living near the affected agricultural areas, and impacts quality of life adversely. The results of this work can be used to develop an early warning system and methods to prevent respiratory disorders in children residing in the study area.

Published: April 2021

Diseases of the respiratory system occupy an important place in the structure of morbidity in the population of Ukraine, being only second to diseases of the cardiovascular system in prevalence. Patients with a respiratory pathology make up a significant part of the pharmacy visitors. In most cases, at the first symptoms of such diseases, patients begin to be treated on their own with the help of non-prescription drugs, and quite often the first person they turn to is a pharmacist. A striking example of the effectiveness and safety of herbal medicine is the symptomatic treatment of cough as one of the most characteristic symptoms of the respiratory tract pathology. The use of herbal products with the antitussive, expectorant, mucolytic action has a long history, and currently it does not lose its significance. The clinical efficacy of herbal products is determined by the mechanism of their specific action, and the rational choice of the optimal drug taking into account the cause of the cough, its nature and the characteristics of the course of the inflammatory process in the respiratory organs, allows eliminating cough or effectively managing it. Bronchipret® is a herbal product of “Bionorica SE” company, which is one of the most studied and widely used in medical practice. The drug is indicated for the treatment of respiratory tract diseases accompanied by cough and sputum formation, including acute and chronic bronchitis. The main and well-studied pharmacological effects of Bronchipret® are secretolytic/mucolytic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial and bronchospasmolytic ones. The pharmacological effects listed are due to a complex of biologically active substances (BAS) of such plants as the root of spring primrose, thyme herb, ivy leaf. All medicinal plants that make up the “active core” of the drug have a long history of their use in folk medicine. Moreover, their various beneficial effects on the human body in different diseases and conditions have been confirmed by empirical experience. The drug is produced in three dosage forms (drops, syrup, tablets), and it determines the targeting of its prescription to different categories of patients. The drug has a high evidence base and has been studied at the cellular and molecular levels.
Conclusions. In the case of choosing a herbal medicine for responsible self-medication, drug consumers can rely on their own experience, but most of them trust the knowledge of a pharmaceutical professional, and this fact increases the pharmacist’s responsibility for the treatment prescribed. Therefore, it should be the choice of a drug with an optimal efficacy/safety ratio, which is determined from the standpoint of evidence-based medicine. It is precisely these requirements that the phytoneering drug Bronchipret® meets.

Abstract. One of the tasks of the Indonesian Citrus and Subtropical Research Institute is research on crossing between citrus varieties to produce saplings with the best quality products through observation of the fruit produced. Because the amount of fruit production studied is very large, it requires a fast and accurate observation process, one of which is the clustering method of data mining. Observations were made using a clustering process or grouping Density Based Spatial Clustering Application with Noise (DBSCAN) on fruit characteristics that indicate quality. DBSCAN works by grouping data based on density, so that it is expected to find several data groups that are close to each other which shows the tendency of the quality of the observed fruit data as well as labeling outlays for data that are too far from the crowd. The results of the grouping will be analyzed to find out the number and characteristics of the groups formed where the results of the grouping are assessed using the Silhouette Coefficient method to determine the best parameter values. The results obtained in this study are obtained three group results which will be divided into medium quality, good, and not so good. The quality of grouping using the Silhouette Coefficient value of 0.69.

Para a coleta dos dados, utilizou-se os arquivos disponíveis pelo sítio do Datasus, referente a base do CNES e, posteriormente, tabulados por meio do programa Tabnet e Tabwin. Resultados: Houve grande variabilidade entre as microrregiões na área de abrangência dos consórcios intermunicipais de saúde existentes quanto a distribuição de profissionais especialistas dentro de uma mesma macrorregião, com ênfase para algumas especialidades que indicam maior dificuldade de acesso por meio do Sistema Único de Saúde. Conclusão: Os resultados apresentados são fundamentais para subsidiarem as discussões e elaboração de políticas públicas que possam contribuir para a equidade assistencial em cada região de saúde, uma vez que relacionados à Consórcios Intermunicipais de Saúde, não foram encontrados estudos anteriores que apresentem esta abordagem, distanciando, portanto, da prática assistencial diária das gestões municipais.

Objectives:

We report our experience of an educational project conducted with the objectives of inculcating the knowledge and encouraging the application of the principles of clinical ethics among intern doctors.

Materials and Methods:

An interdepartmental, integrated, interactive seminar was conducted by the departments of psychiatry, pharmacology, surgery, and medicine for various aspects of clinical ethics. A pre-post 20-item test of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) was conducted with the seminar. It was followed by 45 days of online discussion on clinical ethics among the participants of the seminar. Content analysis of the online discussion was done. Feedback was taken after the seminar and online discussion.

Results:

Fifty intern doctors participated in the seminar and 34 in the online discussion. The MCQs’ score significantly increased from 10.7 to 16.8 out of 20. There were 35 posts and 66 comments about clinical ethics made on the online forum. The feedback revealed that the interns wanted more departments to be involved in the seminar and practical knowledge was gained from the online discussion. It also suggested that this combination of seminar followed by online discussion encouraged them to apply the principles in their clinical rotations.

Conclusion:

Integrated teaching and online discussion were effective in sensitizing the intern doctors, enhancing their knowledge, and encouraging the application of the principles of clinical ethics.

Abstrak- Setiap ruang berperan untuk mewadahi aktivitas yang identik dengan budaya masyarakat dan memiliki  karakter estetikanya masing – masing. Terletak di pusat kota, ruang terbuka publik Balai Kota Bandung berperan  penting dalam pengendalian kualitas lingkungan ekologis dan sosial dalam kawasannya, sehingga membutuhkan  pengalaman soundscape yang berkualitas baik. Dengan tujuan revitalisasi taman dalam meningkatkan konteks  ruang sehingga mendukung kultur kegiatan, pengalaman audial di ruang terbuka publik Balai Kota Bandung  adalah hal yang esensial. Upaya mengendalikan pembentukkan soundscape dalam suatu ruang menghidupkan  hubungan harmonis antara keragaman aktivitas.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran tatanan elemen arsitektural ruang terbuka publik Balai  Kota Bandung terhadap pembentukan kualitas dan pengalaman soundscape. Metoda penelitaian yang dilakukan  adalah secara kualitatif, data diperoleh dari studi lteratur, pengamatan langsung ke lapangan, serta dari kuesioner  dan wawancara. Pengukuran kuantitatif dilakukan untuk melengkapi data kualitatif. Analisa deskriptif dilakukan  berdasarkan teori yang berkaitan dengan ruang terbuka publik, intentions in architecture, persepsi, soundscape,  dan akustik dalam arsitektur. Pada ruang terbuka publik Balai Kota Bandung terdapat beberapa suara yang membentuk soundscape ruang, diantaranya adalah kendaraan melintas, suara klaskson/ sirine, dan suara pesawat melintas sebagai  unwanted sound lingkungan. Suara kereta api melintas, suara speaker Masjid Al -Ukhuwwah, suara lonceng  gereja sebagai soundmark lingkungan. Suara anak-anak, suara komunitas, suara burung, dan suara air sebagai  soundmark dan wanted sound dalam. Tatanan elemen arsitektural pada Taman Dewi Sartika membentuk ruang  terbuka publik yang radial. Tatanan elemen arsitektural pada Taman Badak membentuk ruang terbuka publik yang  linier. Tatanan elemen arsitektural pada Taman Merpati membentuk ruang terbuka publik yang grid. Tatanan  elemen arsitektural pada Plaza Balai Kota membentuk ruang terbuka publik yang memusat. Tatanan elemen  arsitektural pada Taman Sejarah membentuk ruang terbuka yang klaster. Ruang terbuka publik di Balai Kota  Bandung telah cukup baik dalam menciptakan soundscape yang mewadahi kegiatan masyarakat. Namun, masih  membutuhkkan penangganan unwanted sounds agar kualitas pengalaman soundscape menjadi lebih optimal. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat bermanfaat sebagai masukan bagi perancangan tatanan elemen  arsitektural ruang terbuka publik kota dalam pembentukan suasana, melalui aspek pengamanan multi-indra  khususnya dalam auditory experience.

Abstrak- Manusia adalah subjek utama arsitektur, dan arsitektur hadir sebagai wadah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan  akan ruang untuk beraktivitas. Dalam hal ini, manusia sebagai subjek arsitektur tidak hanya mencakup orang dewasa saja, tetapi juga anak-anak. Pada usia 3-5 tahun, anak-anak sedang dalam masa yang aktif dan  berkembang. Mereka sedang dalam masa di mana rasa ingin tahu mereka besar, dan imajinasi mereka juga sedang  berkembang. Karenanya, pengalaman multisensori merupakan sesuatu yang penting bagi mereka untuk  berkembang baik secara fisik maupun mental. Pengalaman multisensori dapat dihadirkan melalui interaksi anak-anak dengan lingkungannya, baik di dalam maupun di luar ruangan didukung oleh desain sensorik. Salah satu  lingkungan di mana anak-anak dapat berinteraksi dengan lingkungannya adalah sekolah. Sekolah Playgroup – TK  Jagad Alit Waldorf Bandung adalah sekolah yang berbasis pendidikan multisensori yang didirikan sejak tahun  2015. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi aspek arsitektural apa saja yang dapat menghadirkan  pengalaman multisensori bagi anak dan apakah pengalaman multisensori anak sudah terpenuhi atau belum. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif, data diperoleh dari studi  literatur, pengamatan langsung ke lapangan, serta dari wawancara terhadap guru-guru sekolah playgroup – TK  Jagad Alit Waldorf Bandung.  Diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa aspek arsitektural sekolah playgroup – TK Jagad Alit Waldorf Bandung  memenuhi pengalaman multisensori anak, dengan sensori yang paling banyak terwadahi adalah sensori sentuhan.  Terdapat empat sensori utama yang menjadi fokus pada kurikulum Waldorf, yaitu sentuhan, gerakan,  keseimbangan, dan kehidupan. Pengalaman sensori itu dipenuhi lewat bentuk alat permainan yang menarik, serta  penggunaan material yang cukup beragam. Penggunaan material tersebut tidak hanya menarik bagi indera peraba,  tetapi juga bagi indera penglihatan. Tekstur material menjadi sesuatu yang menarik bagi anak-anak usia dini.  Sensori lain yang berada dalam bagian empat sensori utama yang menjadi fokus anak-anak 0-7 tahun  adalah gerakan anak-anak. Penyusunan furnitur membuat yang menciptakan ruang yang lapang menyediakan  ruang yang cukup bagi anak-anak untuk bergerak dengan bebas.
