With over 25.4 million refugees globally, the highest number in history, countries are forced to change how they respond to this crisis. In most cases, housing refugees in temporary camps is not sustainable over a long, and a majority of the global refugees end up living in urban areas. Since cities are starting to play an essential role in welcoming this new population, it is imperative for the planning field to understand how the built environment impacts refugee integration. Successful integration into host society is not the sole responsibility of a refugee but rather a process that involves both the refugee and the host community. This thesis investigates factors that affect refugee integration and examines how they play out spatially on a local scale through a case study of the Roxbury neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. The research analysis and case study affirm the influence of place in the refugee experience of community and belonging. Just as displacement is a place-based trauma, refugee resettlement must be approached as a place-based intervention. This thesis highlights the role of planners by outlining the spatial implications of successful integration in addition to introducing a multidisciplinary approach that can empower refugees to not only successfully integrate but to have agency in their new homes.by Azka Mohyuddin.M.C.P.M.C.P.

Case study of LDA
No full textThis electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Thesis: M.C.P., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, 2019Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 71-73).City development authorities are one of the key institutions in urban development and planning in South Asian cities. Pakistan and India share a history and have experienced the similar trend of Town Improvement Trusts established by the British transforming into Development Authorities. Both these forms of institutions had a similar mandate --to improve the living standards in the city through planned development. Development authorities, in particular, were envisioned to undertake comprehensive and integrated master planning in the face of rapid urbanization that its predecessor failed to do so because of its institutional set up as a Trust. In this thesis, I focus on one such urban development institution in Lahore, Pakistan, namely the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) which has come under immense criticism in recent years. In order to understand the urban sprawl of Lahore and the complementary planned development, one needs to understand the institutions that are propelling this form of urban planning. I aim to understand the unequal development in Lahore through the lens of an institutional framework.The premise of my analysis is that even though the forms of institutions that come about and the way they evolve over time are influenced by the broader political and economic trends, it is the urban development institutions that dictate what kind of policies under its purview are produced, hence affecting the urban form. I argue that LDA was a continuation of the Lahore Improvement Trust in many ways, with a supposedly more comprehensive approach to planning, and it faced similar challenges as its predecessor and failed to achieve one of the objectives this parallel institutional structure set out to achieve: providing housing for the low-income groups. In my analysis, I highlight the role of legislation and political influence on LDA's operations. Political leadership and influence differentiate it from LIT and it can be its greatest strength if it is leveraged in the right way.In order to understand LDA's challenges and how these can be overcome, I analyse the following in this thesis: 1) why was LDA established and to what extent it was a continuation of its predecessor 2) how has LDA's policies evolved over the years and why, and 3) what are the challenges to cater to low income population for LDA and what are the ways in which it can achieve them?by Azka Shoaib.M.C.P.M.C.P.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi keterlibatan siswa dalam pembelajaran sistem imun dengan model PBL. Keterlibatan siswa direkam selama pembelajaran PBL, keterlibatan siswa kemudian dianalisis selama pembelajaran, dan hubungan antara keterlibatan siswa dengan penguasaan konsep siswa dianalisis. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yang menggunakan metode deskriptif. Data penelitian ini diperoleh dari beberapa instrumen penelitian yaitu instrumen observasi keterlibatan siswa, tes penguasaan konsep siswa yang berupa soal pilihan ganda, kuesioner siswa, dan wawancara. Subjek pada penelitian ini merupakan siswa SMA kelas XI sebanyak 36 siswa. Penelitian ini diawali pembelajaran PBL selama 2 pertemuan, kemudian di akhir pembelajaran siswa diberikan posttest, kuesioner siswa, dan beberapa siswa diwawancarai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lesson analysis dapat mengidentifikasi keterlibatan siswa dengan mengamati 9 indikator. Keterlibatan siswa selama pembelajaran mengalami perubahan yang bervariasi, ada yang meningkat dan ada yang menurun. Sebanyak 52,8% siswa mengalami peningkatan keterlibatan, sedangkan 47,2% lainnya mengalami penurunan. Kurangnya keterlibatan siswa dapat diatasi dengan proses diskusi dan pemecahan masalah dalam PBL . Namun, tidak terdapat hubungan antara keterlibatan siswa dan penguasaan konsep siswa tidak . Respon siswa mengenai keterlibatannya berdasarkan 9 aspek ada ada kisaran 47%-71,9%. Tanggapan terhadap PBL juga positif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuannya, namun siswa merasa peningkatan tersebut hanya ada pada masalah yang diberikan saja dan permasalahan yang diberikan juga dianggap sedikit sulit oleh siswa.

REPRESENTASI NILAI KEBANGSAAN DALAM FILM SOEKARNO (Analisis Semiotika John Fiske)
No full textKemerdekaan Indonesia tidak diraih hanya dengan menjentikkan jari namun melalui berbagai perlawanan, baik dengan cara diplomasi maupun dengan pertumpahan darah. Pada masa lampau, rakyat Indonesia berjuang dengan gigih, para pahlawan bangsa bermunculan dan gugur di medan perang, baik yang berperang secara fisik maupun secara non-fisik, menguras pikiran dan tenaga mereka untuk membawa Indonesia hingga pada suatu keadaan dimana Indonesia dapat merdeka. Merdeka yang berarti bebas dari segala penjajahan, seperti yang ditulis dalam Pembukaan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945. Nilai kebangsaan Indonesia tidak boleh hilang ditelan waktu, supaya manusia Indonesia tidak kehilangan jati dirinya sebagai bangsa yang berdaulat.
Perwujudan nilai kebangsaan dapat dilakukan melalui berbagai macam cara, mulai dari kegiatan pembelajaran dalam segala bidang, dituangkan dalam sebuah karya tulis, hingga dipresentasikan melalui sebuah film. Film Soekarno hadir di ruang publik tidak hanya sebagai pelepas penat semata, tetapi juga wadah bagi internalisasi nilai-nilai kebangsaan. Melalui kisah perjuangan Sukarno dan kawan-kawan menuju Indonesia Merdeka, diharapkan pemirsa film dapat kembali pada nilai kebangsaan yang telah membentuk karakter bangsa Indonesia dari masa lampau hingga dewasa ini.
Dalam melakukan penelitian dibutuhkan metode penelitian yang sesuai agar dapat mengungkap nilai-nilai kebangsaan dalam film Soekarno. Untuk itu, peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan analisis teks media dan menggunakan teknik analisis semiotik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan semiotik John Fiske.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Secara garis besar pemimpin yang mampu memimpin secara keseluruhan harus memiliki sifat atau karakter seperti adil, jujur, bijaksana dalam menghadapi masalah, berpandangan luas serta tidak fanatik, berjiwa integrasi, berwibawa dan disegani semua golongan, lebih mementingkan kepentingan masyarakat dan negara dari pada kepentingan golongan tertentu. Film ini diharapkan mampu memberikan suri tauladan bagi setiap pemimpin khususnya di Indonesia. Setting lokasi yang kental dengan kejadian masa lampau mengingatkan betapa beratnya perjuangan untuk meraih kemerdekaan pada saat itu. Kemerdekaan bukanlah akhir melainkan awal dari sebuah perjuangan, perjuangan untuk membangun bangsa ini

RELEVANSI PRODUKSI AIR MINUM KH-Q DENGAN WASIAT KH. MUHAMMAD ARWANI BERDASARKAN AYAT WA LĀ TAṠTARŪ BI ᾹYĀTĪ ṠAMANĀN QALĪLĀN
No full textThis paper contains the search for the meaning of buying and selling verses contained in Qs. al-Baqarah verse 41 and the context of its use in the Qur’an according to the mufassir's perspective, as well as the perspective of KH. Muhammad Arwani, in an effort to find answers to the assumptions of some people regarding the production of Kh-Q drinking water by PT. Buya Barokah is under the auspices of the Arwaniyyah Foundation Business Entity which is temporarily viewed by some as an act of trading verses. The author uses the maudhui thematic method as a whole verse and the interview method with zurriyyah (Family) and related people as well as observations to collect data and analyze it in order to find answers that can be accounted for. in this case the author uses analytica l descriptive method. The results of the study show that there is no element of searching for something worldly from selling Kh-Q and not like what is contained in Qs. al-Baqarah verse 41, so the author does not find any relevance between Kh-Q products and KH. Muhammad Arwani’s testament regarding the prohibition of trading verses based on Qs. al-Baqarah verse 41

No full textBackground: Globally, osteoporosis is one of the major health concerns as there is a drastic increase in incident of osteoporotic related fractures. It is a silent bone disease which is characterized by a progressive decrease in bone mass and density(2). In Pakistan, occurrence of osteoporosis is quite common among females and negatively affects patient’s quality of life.(6)
Aims and Objectives: The aim of current study is to associate the osteoporosis prevalence in both pre and post menopause, and also to evaluate quality of life and its awareness.
Methodology: A survey based study was conducted and data was collected from patients by using a questionnaireand analyzed by the application of statistics.
Results: The results of current study have revealed that incidence of osteoporosis is greater in post menopausal women as compared to pre menopausal women. High occurrence of disease in post menopausal is due to a direct relationship between levels of estrogen and osteoporosis. In post menopausal women decrease level of estrogen enhances bone reabsorption which causes increase bone fragility. Hence, all the post menopausal women should be evaluated for osteoporosis.
Conclusion: Lack of understanding about disease, imbalance diet, poor treatment and diagnosis increase the risk for developing osteoporosis. Furthermore severe pain, deprive of sleep and inability to do work also adds to the demotion in patient’s quality of life. So in order to reduce incidence rate and for the betterment in quality of patient’s life having osteoporosis, it is necessary to promote awareness, modification in life style, patient counseling, accessibility to treatment and prior diagnosis of diseas
