Scoring System for Screening Fitness to Work for Offshore and Onshore Remote Area Worker
No full textBackground: About 10-15% of medical examinations of workers at upstream oil and gas companies are not conducted properly. In some cases, workers die at worksites. Many doctors carrying out the assessment lack the competency to assess occupational risks. In this study, we developed a scoring system for ‘fitness for work’ assessment, which can be used by trained doctors.
Methods: Diagnostic testing was done with comparing the results of the determination screening fitness for work using a scoring system with the determine fitness for work results by Occupational Medicine Specialist as a gold standard in the same group. The entire 607 samples used in this study. The development of the scoring system for ‘fitness for work’ assessment used the Delphi method. This scoring system consists of three variables, i.e. health status, occupational risks, and referral time. ’Fitness for work’ status were determined by summing up the score from each variable and then compared with the gold standard. The outcome of this study are the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the scoring system.
Results: The scoring system conducted by general practitioners in this study showed high sensitivity (98.8%), positive predictive value (99%), and specificity (79%).
Conclusion: A scoring system based on health condition, occupational risks, and referral time can be used by doctors working in upstream oil and gas companies to assess ‘fitness for work’ of their offshore or remote onshore employees
Harnessing Zakat to Drive Inclusive Economic Growth: Prospects and Challenges
No full textThis study aims to analyze the role of zakat in promoting local inclusive economic growth in Indonesia. This research uses secondary panel data of 34 provinces during 2017-2022. The analysis techniques used in this study include the Poverty Equivalent Growth Rate (PEGR) inclusive economic growth measurement method and the Static Panel Regression Fixed Effect Model. This study concludes that zakat is proven to be an effective instrument in promoting inclusive economic growth in Indonesia, with a significant impact on income distribution even though its potential is still not optimized. Unique findings reveal that inclusive growth recovered faster than GDP post-pandemic, and Eastern Indonesia region showed better progress than Java as the economic center, indicating the existence of growth-versus-equity paradox
The Concept Of Moderate Islam: Monarchy Tools For Legitimacy In United Arab Emirates (UAE)
No full textThe conceptualisation of religion from the perspective of power entails the state’s effort to utilise religious resources and symbols as proxy tools. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring in 2010, the state realised the threat of opposition from the independent Islamic movement to the survivability of the monarchical and autocratic regime. Hence, this study identifies the act of the UAE government in confronting the Islamic movement and its role in controlling a religious discourse based on the concept of Moderate Islam, employing a top-down approach to form a distinct religious identity that differs from that of rival countries. Qualitative analysis through the collection of information and reference materials aims to identify the history and factors of the development of Moderate Islam in the UAE. The researcher\u27s initial hypothesis asserts that there are three forms of the government\u27s approach in establishing the concept of Islam in the UAE, namely coercing Islamic group, control over religious institutions and promoting the narrative of moderation through various platforms and endorsing two contradicted sects of Neo-traditionalists and anti-traditionalists which have the similarities in terms of separation of religious interference in politic. Thus, this study will examine the concept of Moderate Islam in the UAE and its implications for the legitimacy of the monarchy
Infrastructure from Below: Mediasi dan Politik Pembangunan Infrastruktur Air di Kota Balikpapan
No full textThe city of Balikpapan is experiencing a water crisis. The discrepancy between the city\u27s water supply and Balikpapan\u27s demography put pressure towards the city\u27s capability of supporting its own citizens. This issue is exacerbated by the development of Indonesia\u27s New Capital (IKN) which is located just outside Balikpapan. Therefore, the development of water infrastructure is imperative for the city. Yet, there\u27s no recent visible development of water infrastructure in the city. However, I argue that water infrastructure development actually exists, though in a subtle form. The informal water suppliers that are prevalent in the city is tied with how the state operates, making them, implicitly, conducting development in the city
Thirtieth Aniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide: Revisting the Judgment in the “Bosnian Genocide Case”
No full textThe year 2025 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. This article aims to revisit and give an overview of the critical points of the judgment in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina v Serbia and Montenegro (Judgment), related to the application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide that was conducted before the International Court of Justice. The case (also known as the Bosnia v Serbia case) was brought to an end by the Judgment in 2007, drawing a mixed response. The main points of contention in the Judgment are related to the question of reparations, as well as the standards used to ascertain the attributability of the acts of non-state actors for the breaches of rules of international law. Additionally, the very issue of how the case was brought to an end was another source of criticism, as it was finally concluded with the rejection of the revision request. The article will also briefly discuss other issues connected to the perception and understanding of the Judgment. By using case study and content analysis methods, certain contradictions in the Judgment are identified and presented after the analysis
REPRESENTING VIETNAM’S POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN INTERNATIONAL MEDIA: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF COVERAGE FROM 2018 TO 2024
No full textInternational media play a powerful role in shaping global perceptions of political legitimacy, particularly in states where authoritarian governance coexists with economic success. Vietnam—often described as a one-party socialist state with rapid economic growth—has attracted increased attention in international news coverage, yet little research has examined how its leadership is discursively constructed through media narratives. This study addresses that gap by analyzing how Vietnam’s political leadership was represented in international media from 2018 to 2024. Using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Stuart Hall’s theory of representation, the research investigates how ideology, power, and meaning are embedded in news coverage from seven major outlets: BBC News, The Guardian, The Straits Times, Al Jazeera, Le Monde, Reuters, and the South China Morning Post. From a qualitative analysis of 40 purposively sampled articles, three dominant narratives emerge: (1) Vietnam’s leadership is portrayed as authoritarian, especially in relation to media control; (2) political reforms are framed as pragmatic and tied to economic performance; and (3) legitimacy is constructed through effective governance during crises. These findings reveal that representations of leadership are shaped not only by events in Vietnam, but also by the ideological positions and geopolitical interests of the media outlets themselves. This study contributes to political communication and media representation research by showing how leadership in socialist states is symbolically constructed and evaluated through transnational discourse
REPRESENTING FOREIGN HUSBANDS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NARRATIVE STYLES IN MY NEIGHBOR, CHARLES
No full textThis study investigates the representation of foreign husbands in South Korean television by analyzing the reality TV show *My Neighbor, Charles*, which features intermarried couples of Korean women and foreign men. It examines the narrative patterns associated with white and non-white foreign husbands. Utilizing the three-act narrative structure theory as an analytical framework, Stuart Hall\u27s concepts of representation and Dyer\u27s work on Whiteness, this research reveals how Korean media, particularly television, reflects unbalanced and racially biased portrayals of foreign husbands. Such unequal representations not only illustrate the practice of racism within the Korean context but also shed light on how Korea perceives its cultural identity in the increasingly multicultural landscape of contemporary society. Additionally, this study contributes to the discourse on transnational marriage in East Asia
Live-in Tajuk: Role-Play Model in the Co-Creation of Community-Based Design Practices
No full textThis article examines a collaborative project that involves diverse actors in the co-creation of community-based design within an agricultural context. This study focuses on the implementation of the role-playing model as a practice that cultivates empathy, reflexivity, and collective agency among actors. The model is implemented through several methods, including collective reading of the context, dynamic role shifting, and the negotiation of architectural program. As part of community service, this seven-day program involved four groups, each consisting of four local students and two international students, four lecturers and design practitioners, and four household units, to participate in the role-playing and co-creation in designing for the community in Tajuk Village, Central Java, Indonesia. The exploration revealed that the co-creation process emphasizes the fluidity of roles, highlighting a dynamic decision-making process in which authority is distributed and continually reconfigured. Knowledge is co-produced through reciprocal engagement, enabling the integration of multiple perspectives into the design process. Furthermore, the role-playing model contributes to the broader discourse of participatory design study, offering a flexible and integrative framework that supports inclusive and sustainable community development by merging description, interpretation, and critical analysis by and for the community
THE MIDDLE CLASS, THE YOUTH, THE HIGHWAYS: PRODUCTION OF SPACE AND URBAN MEMORY IN BLOK M, JAKARTA
No full textThis paper examines the historical and contemporary dynamics of the Blok M area in Jakarta as a public space undergoing a process of spatial, cultural, and symbolic transformation. Using Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space and then relating it to the discourse of urban memory according to Abidin Kusno, this study traces how Blok M developed from the modernist urban planning of Kebayoran Baru after independence to be the epicenter of youth festivity, then declined until it rose again through a place that utilized the memory of this area in the past. This study highlights how the politics of marginalization, cultural practices, and power discourses through infrastructure shape the meaning of an urban area in Jakarta. By analyzing historical narratives, visual artefacts, and urban planning policies, this article argues that changes in Blok M represent physical transformation and struggle over collective memory, middle-class identity, and power relations in the production of the contemporary urban space of Jakarta
Interior as Ecosystem
No full textThe idea of interior as an ecosystem views the emergence of interior as a dynamic and relational environment. Rather than viewing the interior as a static or enclosed environment, the ecological perspective considers the interior as an ecosystem, constructed by the systems of relations that involve a multiplicity of actors and entities. This issue of Interiority presents the emergence of various interior occupation and adaptation models that have emerged as an integral part of the ecosystem. The collection of articles in this issue presents a range of cases, ranging from traditional, modern, to contemporary lifestyles and contexts. The works demonstrate the ecosystem involving various actors, both human and non-human, across cultures and time periods. They represent the acts of responding and manoeuvring within the ecological entanglement. They illustrate how interior is not merely a backdrop of living but dynamic agents that keep evolving and transforming within the dynamic ecologies
