‘Allochtoon’ as metaphor and category.Implications of policy language for policy and administrative practices
This paper offers a critical empirical analysis of the policy terms ‘allochtoon’ and ‘autochtoon’, which have been used in Dutch public policy and administrative practices in recent years, as well as in general public discourse, to distinguish between people with a migrant background and those with a so-called native background on the basis of birthplace. Taking an interpretive policy analysis perspective, we present metaphor and category analyses to show the determining role that ‘place of origin’ has in the policy terms. The analysis includes a historical contextualization of the categories within Dutch policy discourse. The metaphor analysis focuses on the etymology of the terms, and the category analysis examines the taxonomy used by Statistics Netherlands since 1999. The role of ‘place’, and in particular country or land of birth, in these etymologies and taxonomies link to elements from ancient racial thinking, showing that ‘birthplace’ is a surrogate for race in this policy discourse. The analysis leads us to argue that the terms are inherently exclusive and that the exclusive work that the essentialist categories do is in marked contrast to the policy goal of integration.

Decentralization: custom-made or uniformity?
A main motive for policy decentralization is the belief that municipalities are better able to customize public policy to local circumstances, and to realize made-to-measure service provision. In this respect, the introduction of the Social Support Act (Wmo) is an interesting example. With the lack of ‘vertical’ accountability obligations to the national government, the Wmo is governmentally innovative. Whether the decentralization results in customized forms of social support is a fascinating one because a detailed reading of the Wmo and its implementation displays possible incentives as well as barriers to made-to-measure service provision. The empirical exploration in this article uses data from the 2007-2009 evaluation of the Wmo conducted by the Netherlands Institute for Social Research (SCP). The evaluation shows that municipalities involve diverse stakeholders in formulating Wmo policy, and that their involvement seems to lead to customized service provision. At the same time, municipalities follow nationwide models, and information provided by the central government seems to have a major impact on local social care policy. The article concludes with an outlook on future directions in local debates on social care and the recommendation to give time for major decentralization trajectories such as the Wmo.

The limited role of migrant workers in Dutch elderly care
In many European countries immigrants play an important role as employees in the elderly care sector. They are employed by a care providing organisation, or directly by a family as private care assistant. By contrast, in the Netherlands such a development is hardly visible. This article investigates why relatively few migrant workers are employed in Dutch elderly care. The Dutch situation is compared with developments in Italy, Great Britain and Austria. I assess explanations based on demand side, supply side and cultural factors and conclude that especially the large public investments in Dutch elderly care can explain the limited demand for migrant workers. A restrictive immigration policy and language and historical factors play only a minor role. Whether a larger demand for migrant workers will emerge in the future, therefore depends on developments in public elderly care policy.

The contents of citizenship: Comparison of civic education for migrants and school students
The recent scholarly debate on policies and discourses with regard to citizenship in the Netherlands point to a moralization or culturalization of citizenship. This article aims to contribute to this debate by zooming into the current contents of citizenship education. We make a comparative analysis of the contents of textbooks for citizenship education that are used for civic integration courses for migrants and for primary and secondary school students in the Netherlands. Our findings show that citizenship has indeed gained a moral content in both contexts but that the difference lies in the norms that are stressed and how they are conveyed to the target population of future citizens. Whereas civic integration books for migrants emphasize the importance of learning local procedures and habits in order to belong to the Dutch national community, primary and secondary school books underscore the importance of dealing with cultural diversity in the multicultural society.

Transforming social security: opinions of flexible workers and the self-employed
The social security system provides some form of protection for its citizens. The social security system depends on public support in society. Support is crucial for legitimacy of the social system. To date, it remains unclear whether social policy preferences will be affected by changes on the labour market. In this article we aim to increase our understanding of individual reactions to increasing labour flexibility and the impact on social policy preferences. From the results of our study, we draw the general conclusion that employees with flexible labour contracts as well as the self-employed do not reject the idea of social security.

Introducción: el incremento del sobrepeso y la obesidad representa un desafío cada vez más frecuente en personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1). Estas condiciones pueden impactar negativamente en el manejo metabólico, aumentando el riesgo de complicaciones asociadas.
Objetivo: establecer los cambios en la composición corporal y control glucémico en pacientes con DM1 tras tres meses de iniciar terapia con infusión subcutánea continua de insulina (CSII) más CGM.
Materiales y métodos: se analizaron los cambios ocurridos a los 3 meses de iniciar terapia con infusión subcutánea continua de insulina (CSII) y monitoreo continuo de glucosa (CGM) en un grupo de pacientes (n=30). Se evaluaron parámetros relacionados con la composición corporal (peso, talla, índice de masa corporal, porcentaje de grasa corporal, masa muscular y grasa visceral), control glucémico (HbA1c, coeficiente de variación y tiempo en rango -TIR), así como la cantidad de insulina utilizada y los carbohidratos consumidos.
Resultados: un total de 29 pacientes con DM1 completaron tres meses de tratamiento con CSII y CGM. Al final del seguimiento, se observó una reducción en la mediana de HbA1c, pasando de 7,5 % (RIC 7 – 8,7) a 6,8 % (RIC 6,7 % – 7,1 %) (p <0,0001). Además, el TIR dentro del rango objetivo (70 – 180 mg/dl) se incrementó de 70 % (RIC 57 % – 78 %) a 79 % (RIC 68 % – 85 %) (p = 0,0080). No se registraron modificaciones significativas en los indicadores de composición corporal ni en la cantidad diaria de insulina administrada.
Conclusión: en pacientes con DM1 que recibieron CSII y CGM durante un periodo de tres meses, no se identificaron cambios relevantes en la composición corporal. No obstante, se evidenció una mejora en el control glucémico, reflejada en la disminución de HbA1c y el aumento del tiempo dentro del rango glucémico objetivo.

Authors: Elfiani  
Published: January 2025

Background: Optimizing the role of students in supporting the elimination of Tuberculosis (TB) 2030 is a strategic step in achieving national health targets. The main problem faced is the high prevalence of TB in Indonesia, especially in the productive age group, which can hinder the development of the younger generation. Method: The purpose of this study is to analyze the contribution of students in the Healthy Campus Program to support TB elimination through an educational approach, socialization, and utilization of technology. The method used in this study is a literature study by reviewing various literature, scientific articles, and relevant program reports. Findings: The results of the discussion show that students have great potential as agents of change in educating the public regarding TB prevention, early detection, and treatment. The Healthy Campus Program is a strategic forum that allows students to play an active role, for example through independent screening activities using the SOBAT TB application, healthy living campaigns, and the formation of anti-TB volunteer groups. The use of social media and collaboration with health institutions also strengthen the role of students in disseminating health information. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study confirms that the active involvement of students in TB elimination can have a significant impact on creating a healthier campus environment that is responsive to health issues. Novelty/Originality of this Study: Recommendations include regular training, strengthening intersectoral collaboration, and providing more accessible health facilities.
Factors Influencing Presenteeism: The Role of Individual Characteristics, Job Demands, and Job Insecurity in the Workplace
Authors: Salsabil Salwa 
Published: January 2025

Background: Presenteeism affects both the quality and quantity of work, leading to decreased concentration, reduced performance, lower productivity, and increased costs, ultimately impacting organizational efficiency. This study explores the relationship between individual characteristics, job demands, and job insecurity with presenteeism among employees at PT X in 2024. Method: This research employs a cross-sectional study design, with data analyzed using the chi-square test. A purposive sampling method was used to select 90 employees from PT X. The study utilized the Stanford Presenteeism Scale-6 questionnaire, the Job Demands-Resources (JDR) model, and the job insecurity scale developed by Hellgren. Results: The findings of the study reveal that a significant number of employees displayed high levels of presenteeism. Specifically, 70 employees were identified as exhibiting this behavior, which represents 77.8% of the total employee population. This indicates that a large proportion of the workforce is physically present at work but not fully engaged or productive. Conclusion: The study concludes that job insecurity and gender are significantly associated with presenteeism. To address this issue, companies should enhance communication regarding policies, job status, and future organizational direction. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study uniquely underscores the role of job insecurity and gender in presenteeism, offering valuable insights into workplace productivity. The findings suggest targeted interventions focusing on job security and transparent communication to mitigate presenteeism and improve overall employee well-being.
Acceleration of Stunting Reduction: Advancing Social and Environmental Well-being through Policy, Education, and Environmental Management
Authors: Firdaus Samuel Evan , Maulana Precious Douglas 
Published: January 2025

Background: Stunting is a serious public health problem in Indonesia, especially in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, which has a high prevalence. Based on the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI), there are 15 districts in NTT with stunting rates of more than 30%, even in South Central Timor and North Central Timor Regencies, the prevalence reaches more than 46%. The main factors contributing to stunting include malnutrition, poor sanitation, and consanguineous marriage practices. Methods: This study uses a literature review approach by applying the Social Ecological Model (SEM) to analyze risk factors and intervention strategies. The data used include empirical studies and policies related to stunting in NTT. Findings: The analysis shows that poor sanitation, such as access to clean drinking water which only reaches 86.79% and access to proper sanitation of 73.7%, is correlated with high stunting rates. Data also show that low milk consumption, with an average consumption of only 30 kilocalories per capita per day in Southeast Asia, contributes to the high prevalence of stunting of 31%. In addition, maternal education levels and the practice of washing hands with soap after feeding children are significantly associated with stunting. Social assistance programs such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) have reached 64% of beneficiaries but have not been effective in reducing stunting rates because there is still inaccuracy in targeting recipients. Conclusion: Accelerating stunting reduction in NTT requires a multi-sectoral approach involving improving sanitation infrastructure, increasing access to nutrition, health education, and optimizing social assistance programs. Monitoring and evaluation of policy implementation need to be improved to ensure the effectiveness of the interventions carried out. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the relationship between environmental factors, cultural practices, and policy effectiveness in accelerating stunting reduction in NTT. The SEM approach used offers a holistic perspective in understanding the complexity of the problem and designing more effective intervention strategies.
