Surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation in Aceh, Indonesia: description in 28 patients
Authors: Fajar Jonny Karunia , Azharuddin Azharuddin 
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Several studies have reported the incidence of herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) in some hospitals. Surgery is one of the options in HNP management. HNP surgery results in Aceh have not been reported yet. Therefore, this study reported the HNP surgery in Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh period 2010-2012.
Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective survey conducted in Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Banda Aceh at August-September 2012.
Results: The incidence of HNP who underwent surgery was 28 patients. There was no HNP case in the age group I (0-18 years), seven patients (25%) were age group II (19-40 years), and 21 patients (75%) were age group III (over 40 years). Based on HNP location, no HNP located in the L1-L2 and L3-L4, one patient (3.57%) was L2-L3, 20 patients (71.42%) were L4-L5, three patients (10.71%) were L5-S1, and there were four HNP patients in multiple lumbar (14.28%). Laminectomy was the most common type of surgery performed (27 patients or 96.42%), followed by laminotomy (one patients or 3.57%).
Conclusion: There was significant association between the incidence of HNP with age, but not with gender. In summary, the most common lumbar disc herniation was in L4-L5. Laminectomy was the most common procedure performed in HNP patient in Aceh.
A Strengths Perspective for Assessing Older Adults: Curriculum Enrichment in a Human Behavior Course
Authors: Gray Judith I. , Kabadaki Kyama 
Published: June 2018

At the beginning of the article, the rationale for focusing on curriculum development and enrichment in the area of older adulthood is presented. The vulnerability of older adults and the need for the strengths perspective when assessing older adults is also discussed.
The second part of the article focuses on the two instructors' efforts to apply the strengths perspective when teaching about assessing older adults as part of the Human Behavior and Social Environment content. Innovative curriculum modules and assignments are described. They include use of the life story technique to teach students to assess older adults' current situations using learning theories, concepts, and the strengths perspective; use of dramatic vignettes to explore and sensitize students to the concerns and issues faced by older adults and their families; developmental milestones presentations; and use of older adults as guest speakers and experts for the purpose of emphasizing the resiliency and strengths of individuals faced with challenges related to the aging process.
Applying a Stress and Resiliency Framework for Teaching Adult Development and Aging throughout the Social Work Undergraduate-Level Curriculum
Authors: Vandsburger Etty , Crawley-Woods Geraldine , Gottlieb Jody , Shelek-Furbee Katherine 
Published: June 2018

Old age is often characterized as a period in life when people experience multiple stresses. These stresses include declining health and physical functioning and loss of meaningful relationships. However, a growing body of research indicates that old age can be characterized as a period of resilience when older adults use internal and external resources to overcome the challenges presented by this stage of life and function to the best of their abilities.
The purpose of this article is to present a stress and resiliency framework for teaching adult development and aging content throughout the social work undergraduate-level curriculum. The concept of resiliency is closely related to the strengths perspective, which serves as the unifying conceptual framework that informs most ideas about social work practice with the elderly. This model, when incorporated into the curriculum, helps in increasing a student's comprehensive understanding of aging and gerontology and is conductive in contributing to a well-rounded view of the challenges presented by old age and the coping strategies elders utilize to meet these. Such an approach is consistent with social work values and ethics.
Examples of how this framework is implemented in social work Human Behavior in the Social Environment courses, social work practice, social work policy, and research courses will be presented.
The Child Welfare Choice: An Analysis of Social Work Students' Career Plans
Authors: Rome Sunny Harris 
Published: June 2018

Child welfare is a field of practice replete with opportunities that are well-suited to entry-level social workers, yet many child welfare agencies remain hampered by staff shortages and high turnover rates. As recently enacted welfare restrictions are implemented, child welfare agencies can expect to face even greater challenges —ones that make the recruitment and hiring of qualified staff an even more urgent priority.
This article presents the results of a large-scale, empirical study designed to identify what makes BSW and MSW students interested, or disinterested, in pursuing employment in child welfare agencies, and what kinds of incentives they believe might motivate them to seek child welfare work. Recommendations are offered for social work programs, child welfare agencies, state and local governments, Congress and the Administration, and advocates for children.
Curriculum Module: Applying Mental Health Research on Psychoeducation with Multiple-Family Groups to Field Work Practice
Authors: Ashton Vicki 
Published: June 2018

This curriculum module is developed to integrate mental health research with undergraduate field practice. The module is based on a research study of the New York Family Support Demonstration Project which utilized psychoeducation as a treatment modality for schizophrenic patients and their families. The module is designed to expand students' knowledge of schizophrenia and to introduce students to interventions which have been found effective in working with persons with schizophrenia. The module is also designed to make students aware of the importance of reading research studies in their areas of interest, and, of testing research findings in their own practice.
The module, as presented here, is designed to be used in field seminar with upper level students. However, the module is appropriate (with modification) for upper level courses in policy, practice, research, and human behavior and the social environment.
Assertiveness and Field Education: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Cavazos Alonzo , Guerrero Dolores 
Published: June 2018

This study examines the effect of field instruction on assertiveness and tests the effectiveness of an assertiveness training program that was delivered concurrently with field education. Undergraduate field interns (N=27) were pre-post tested with the Assertiveness Self-Report Inventory during the first and last weeks of field education. Approximately half of the interns (n=13) received assertiveness training during the university-based field instruction seminar. Surprisingly, assertiveness scores did not change statistically from pretest to posttest, and the assertiveness training program failed to raise assertiveness. These counterintuitive findings are explored, and implications for social work education and practice are discussed.
Social workers are expected to advocate for their clients, particularly in situations where people are discriminated against and oppressed because of ethnicity, gender, religion, age, socio-economical status, sexual orientation, or physical disability (Council on Social Work Education, 1994). Social workers, “... must exercise [themselves] assertively in order to fulfill nearly all social work roles and functions” (Cournoyer, 1998, p. 11). Pardeck, et al. (1991), posit that social work education should increase a students assertiveness because increased assertiveness is critical to effective social work practice. Without an adequate repertoire of assertive skills, social workers will be prevented from affecting change and demonstrating the value of the social work profession (Eldridge, 1983). Although these are deeply held beliefs, the relationships between field education, assertiveness and advocacy have not been studied.
This study explores two research questions: 1) does assertiveness increase as a result of field education; and 2) whether an assertiveness training program, which is delivered concurrently with field education, can increase assertiveness.

Mastery Learning: A Promising Instructional Method for Social Work Education
Authors: Aviles Christopher B. 
Published: June 2018

Mastery learning is a behavioral instructional method using additional learning time, and repeated testing opportunities to increase student learning. Although successful in higher education, mastery learning has not been studied in social work. Mastery- and nonmastery-learning instruction were contrasted using four sections of a BSW course with identical content and exams. One instructor taught two course sections with mastery learning, another instructor taught two sections with nonmastery instruction. Dependent variables included student achievement, instructional preference, and attitude toward course topic. Instructor hours spent and reactions to mastery learning were measured.
Both instructional methods resulted in similar achievement and similar changes in attitude toward course topic. Of students, 100% preferred mastery instruction. Both methods involved similar amounts of instructor time, but the mastery instructor reported increased classroom time efficiency and coordination between teaching and testing. Mastery learning should be considered a promising instructional method for social work education.

Investigar o conceito de condição humana e sua identidade política e jurídica no pensamento de Hannah Arendt e Amartya Sen é o principal objetivo deste artigo. Entendemos que o valor da pessoa se fortalece na inserção ativa nas sociedades democráticas. A condição de agente sedimenta a maturidade social, a estabilidade política e os compromissos orientados para a justiça social. Com igual intensidade, a vida do homem, enquanto condição humana é uma vida de ação e discurso que se realiza entre os demais, na polis. Em meio à pluralidade cada sujeito faz surgir e construir coisas novas. O método de investigação é o indutivo, a técnica de pesquisa é a bibliográfica e a categoria é o conceito de pessoa. O homem, na condição de agente ativo é protagonista de sua história junto à comunidade. HOMMO POLITICUS: A condição humana e o agir político segundo Hannah Arendt e Amartya Sen
WANITA DAN HUKUM: Perspektif Feminis Terhadap Hukum
Authors: Baharuddin Rahmawati 
Published: June 2018

<p>Feminists insist that the greatest part of the law is legitimacy of a dominant ideology, and that the greatest part of the dominant ideology of most societies is characterized by patriarchy. The focus of recent feminist legal criticism is the result of a discovery that norms are often inserted bias that affirms the subordination of women to men. Although it is essentially a lawsuit of feminist legal theorists against. the legal system is so vast and diverse, at least there is a common thread that can be taken, namely that the established legal framework is very phallocentric (dominated by men), and is a vehicle for creating male domination to become stronger and legitimate by adopting a male point of view to the law, and at the same time it also reinforces the idea in society. Thus passing the law, male domination is imaged as a hallmark of life, not as a one-sided impression of a group's most dominant advantage.</p><p> </p><p>Kaum feminis menegaskan bahwa bagian terbesar dalam hukum merupakan legitimasi terhadap sebuah ideologi yang dominan, dan bahwa bagian terbesar dari ideologi yang dominan dari kebanyakan masyarakat adalah bercirikan patriarkhis. Fokus dari kritik hukum feminis belakangan ini merupakan hasil dari sebuah penemuan bahwa norma-norma seringkali disisipi bias yang mempertegas subordinasi perempuan terhadap laki-laki. Meskipun pada dasarnya gugatan para teoritisi hukum feminis terhadap. sistem hukum begitu luas dan beragam, setidaknya ada benang merah yang bisa diambil, yaitu bahwa kerangka hukum yang telah mapan sangat bersifat phallosentris (didominasi kaum pria), dan merupakan wahana untuk menciptakan dominasi laki-laki menjadi semakin kokoh dan sah dengan mengadopsi sudut pandang laki-laki terhadap hukum, dan pada saat bersamaan ia juga memperkuat gagasan tersebut di tengah masyarakat. Dengan demikian rnelaluijalur hukum, dominasi laki-laki dicitrakan sebagai ciri khas kehidupan, bukan sebagai pemahaman satu pihak yang dipaksakan untuk keuntungan kelompok yang paling dominan.</p>
PLURALITAS AGAMA DAN KEKERASAN KOLEKTIF
Authors: Yunus Muh. 
Published: June 2018

<p>This paper describes whether there is a latent function of religion that can trigger the act of collective anarchism. It is also explored whether there is something that can move people so that they perpetrate the collective violence since the majority of Indonesian people are religious believers who all love peace. In principle, differences are not the root of violence. But man is often wrong in understanding the difference. Because the difference is a law of nature. Basically, humans need to be involved in pluralism, interacting with each other. And if in interacting to meet the peculiarities, need to be solved by way of communication (dialogue) without violence. Herein lies how sesunggulmya no difficulties that we can not solve, as long as want to communicate. Alternative roads are many that we can pass to solve life's problems. And religion offers it to us to create that peace.</p><p> </p><p>Dalam makalah ini dijelaskan apakah ada fungsi laten agama yang dapat memicu tindakan anarkisme kolektif. Juga ditelusuri apakah ada sesuatu yang dapat menggerakkkan orang sehingga ia melakukan kekerasan kolektif mengingat mayoritas masyarakat Indonesia adalah pemeluk agama yang semuanya cinta damai. Pada prinsipnya, berbagai perbedaan bukanlah akar terjadinya tindak kekerasan. Tetapi manusialah yang acapkali salah dalam memaknai perbedaan itu. Sebab perbedaan merupakan hukum alam. Pada dasarnya manusia perlu terlibat dalam kemajemukan, berinteraksi dengan sesamanya. Dan apabila dalam berinteraksi menemui keganjilan-keganjilan, perlu diselesaikan dengan jalan komunikasi (dialog) tanpa kekerasan. Disinilah letak betapa sesunggulmya tidak ada kesulitan yang tidak bisa kita pecahkan, asalkan mau berkomunikasi. Jalan-jalan alternatif masih banyak yang bisa kita lewati untuk menyelesaikan berbagai persoalan kehidupan. Dan agama, menawarkannya kepada kita untuk menciptakan perdamaian itu.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

<p>Paradigm scrutiny means the scrutiny of the system and its associated arrangement. The scope of the noble values in the spotlight of Islam is also very broad and deep that lies in the authentic books of salafiah, especially books that discuss morality and tasawwuf. This paper outlines the paradigm of Islamic noble values in the life of the nation and society. Factors that play a role in reestablishing the noble norms of the society's life order are numerous, depending on the living conditions in the midst of the society. The condition is always changing and developing like science, always proceeding, never ending and slesai. It is necessary to have reliable community and state leaders, their existence, capabilities and professionalism and loyalty. Besides being able to condition law principles in the midst of a dialectical situation.</p><p> </p><p>Pencermatan paradigma berarti pencermatan sistem dan susunan yang terkait di dalamnya.

Imagen impresa y ciudad, Buenos Aires (1890-1910)
Authors: Bonelli Zapata Ana 
Published: June 2018

<p>Los últimos años del siglo XIX en Buenos Aires fueron testigos de importantes cambios en el campo de la gráfica, con la introducción de nuevas técnicas, circulación de objetos e imágenes impresas, así como en la percepción y experiencia de la ciudad misma. Las transformaciones del espacio, tanto público como privado, así como sus representaciones, dan cuenta de nuevas prácticas de sociabilidad, nuevos significados y la conformación de una nueva cultura visual en torno a la “metrópolis” y el “progreso”. El ferrocarril, como medio de transporte y tecnología, pero también como marca visible en el espacio, jugará también un rol en esos cambios, y su representación irá estrechamente vinculada con ellos. La imagen impresa, más allá de sus múltiples relaciones con el campo artístico, posee características propias en cuanto a sus modos de producción (más o menos artesanal, más o menos industriales), su materialidad (inserta en diversos soportes, múltiple, con mayor o menor vinculación a un discurso textual), así como las redes de circulación que implica. En este sentido, se propone pensar de cuáles modos particulares las imágenes impresas aparecidas en este contexto se relacionaron con la percepción y la experiencia del espacio, las nuevas tecnologías y el consumo urbano.</p>

Improving and increasing livestock production system yield requires parasite control, especially ticks, which stifle the emergence of successful breeding units. Effective environmentally friendly and biological parasite control is urgently required. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the essential oil of Clausena anisata (Rutaceae) and of palm kernel vegetable oil compared to a reference chemical acaricide, flumethrin, on the biological parameters of the engorged females of three major tick species in the Maritime Region of Togo. The topical tests applied consisted respectively of depositing a drop of 75μL and 5μL of the crude extracts and their dilutions on the back of each female of Amblyomma variegatum, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus, and Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Ixodida: Ixodidae). Fifteen females and three replicates were tested, incubated at 28 ± 1°C, 85-95% RH, 12: 12 L:D, and were monitored daily. C. anisata caused 100% mortality in all engorged females and its 1/8 dilution destroyed 100% of eggs laid by A. variegatum. Palm kernel vegetable oil caused 100% mortality in female species of the genus Rhipicephalus (B.). Flumethrin was very toxic to ticks. Since Palm kernel vegetable oil has a significant toxicity, the two oils tested can be an alternative control of the studied ticks after additional studies.
The CABES (Clare Adult Basic Education Service) framework as a tool for teaching and learning
Authors: Greene Moira 
Published: June 2018

This article describes a Framework that can be used to help bridge the gap between theory and practice in adult learning. The Framework promotes practice informed by three strands important to adult literacy work: social theories of literacy, social- constructivist learning theory and principles of adult learning. The Framework shows how ve key factors can be utilised to establish existing learner knowledge onto which new learning can be built, identify relevant and effective learning objectives, and provide a means of evaluating learning.
Keywords: Assessment. Constructivist learning. Learning difference. Social practice.
