Representation of Fat Women in Wolipop.detik.com and Liputan6.com: A Sara Mill's Analysis Perspective
Authors: Amanda Rissa 
Published: February 2022

Having an ideal body is a common opinion and stereotype of women's society. They are competing to achieve it all because it is also supported by the depiction of the massive mass media with advertisements that place beautiful and slim women as actors. However, on the other hand, not all women have an ideal body shape like fat women who always get unfair behavior from the dominant society. They become a subculture group that must fight against negative stigma to get justice. It is rare for women to be portrayed positively by the mass media. Using Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis, the writer wants to see how the representation of fat women at Wolipop.detik.com and Liputan6.com online media through three articles selected from each. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The results show that these two media put writer-reader positions in place that see obese women as a subculture group struggling in the dominant society. However, many are brave enough to speak up nowadays, especially on social media. Wolipop.detik.com places more obese women as subjects, while for Liputan6.com women are told more as objects. These two media are still lack of Indonesian fat women positive stories, meaning that they still adhere to the dominant discourse and values.

Published: February 2022

Pandemi COVID-19 telah mengurangi 2,3 juta peluang lapangan pekerjaan di Indonesia. Karir siswa SMK dinilai terancam karena lulusannya menyumbang tingkat pengangguran tertinggi di Indonesia, sehingga perlu ada usaha penyesuaian diri dalam merencanakan karir di masa depan. Penelitian ini menegakkan asumsi agar memiliki adaptabilitas karir yang kuat, siswa SMK perlu memiliki kepribadian proaktif yang mendorongnya untuk berinisiatif melakukan perubahan. Selanjutnya proses tersebut perlu dimediasi oleh kemampuan untuk bertahan menghadapi kesulitan (resiliensi). Penelitian ini dilakukan terhadap 686 orang siswa SMK di Indonesia menggunakan alat ukur Career Adapt-Abilities Scale International Form (CAAS-IF) untuk adaptabilitas karir, Proactive Personality Scale Short Form (PPS-SF) untuk kepribadian proaktif dan The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) untuk resiliensi. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa kepribadian proaktif memiliki hubungan yang positif dan signifikan dengan adaptabilitas karir (c’ = 0,384, SE = 0,087, p < 0,001). Diketahui pula adanya efek mediasi secara parsial oleh resiliensi (c’ = 0,384 < c = 1,283). Penelitian ini dapat menjadi acuan pentingnya memperkuat layanan Bimbingan Karir yang memberikan informasi karir diluar bidang yang tersedia di SMK.

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: There is currently no methodology for evaluating the accuracy of ablation in ablation therapy, and thus normal cells in the surrounding area can be damaged, possibly leading to complications. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to distinguish heat-treated dead cells from viable cells using the electrical impedance-to-frequency ratio as an evaluation index. METHODS: Rat heart striated myocytes were cultured in a monolayer on collagen-coated microelectrodes placed in the center of an electrode-loaded chamber. The cells in the chamber were killed by heat treatment for 5 minutes at 50 °C, and the frequency response of the cell impedance was measured before and after heat treatment. The frequency of the input current was varied from 10 to 100 kHz. The measured electrical impedance at each frequency was divided by the value at 100 kHz, and we refer to the resulting values as the impedance ratio. RESULTS: The impedance ratio was high at low frequencies and low at high frequencies. Furthermore, the impedance ratio was lower at lower frequencies after heat treatment than before heat treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The electrical impedance ratio can be used to distinguish viable and dead cells after heat treatment.
