Karakteristik Masyarakat Dan Hubungannya Dengan Kepuasan Pelayanan Vaksinasi Di 11 Provinsi Di Indonesia
Full text linkPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kepuasan masyarakat terhadap pelayanan pemberian vaksin. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pengisian angket kepuasan pelayanan obat dan vaksin. Pemilihan lokasi penelitian secara purposive dan sebanyak 559 responden menjawab angket tersebut dengan variabel independen: karateristik pasien yaitu umur, jenis kelamin, pendidikan, pekerjaan dan tingkat ekonomi. Variabel dependen: kepuasan pasien terhadap pelayanan vaksin. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif. Analisis data menggunakan tabulasi silang dan regresi logistik sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan antara karakteristik masyarakat dengan kepuasan pelayanan vaksin. Baik dari segi usia, jenis kelamin, pendidikan maupun pekerjaan. Hal ini mungkin terjadi dikarenakan program imunisasi merupakan program wajib pemerintah yang harus dilaksanakan oleh daerah. Saran peningkatan akses menuju fasilitas kesehatan, pelayanan yang paripurna untuk masyarakat serta memberikan edukasi yang menyeluruh kepada masyarakat sehingga pengetahuan tentang manfaat dari pemberian vaksin bisa diterima oleh masyarakat.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kepuasan masyarakat terhadap pelayanan pemberian vaksin.

Poverty, inequality, and social policy in transition economies
Full text linkIn examining what happens to poverty and income inequality during the early period of transition to a market economy, the author covers the period up to 1993. His analysis includes almost all transition economies that were not affected by wars, blockades, or embargoes. (In economies so affected, the intrinsic issues of transition are overshadowed by more basic issues of war or quasi-war economy and survival). The two key issues of social policy in transition economies are pension reform and better targeting of social assistance. Pensions represent 70 to 80 percent of cash social expenditures. No reduction of current levels of social spending (which is unsustainable) can be envisaged without pension reform. Better targeting of social assistance is needed because many universally or enterprise-provided benefits have been terminated, poverty has increased, and social programs lack funding. If poverty is on the rise and money is scarce, better targeting is the only option.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Services&Transfers to Poor,Environmental Economics&Policies,Public Health Promotion,Poverty Impact Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Safety Nets and Transfers,Services&Transfers to Poor,Rural Poverty Reduction,Health Monitoring&Evaluation
The virtual image : Brazilian literature in English translation
Full text linkThe
aim of this thesis is to
examine
how the virtual
image
of Brazil
and
its literature is
constructed
in the Anglo-American world. To this
end, a survey of
Brazilian literary
works
in English translation was
carried out.
Having
gathered this data, it became
possible to establish
correlations
between the historical
moments when such translations
were made, when their number
increased,
and the events occurring at
those times in the international
panorama, as well as to look into the
role of sponsors, publishers and translators in the
selection and
production of such translations.
The data
also allowed a profile of
Brazilian literary
works
in
English translation to be drawn. It became
possible to suggest that
such works
fall into four
main categories:
`authorial
works',
'topical
works',
`ambassadorial
works'
and `consumer-oriented
works'.
In
order
to look
more closely
into how the translation process
has helped to
shape
the
virtual
image
of Brazilian literary
works
in
the Anglo-American world, an analysis of a sample of
translations
of
such works was made. Included in this
sample were
the translations
of works
by Machado de Asis, by Indianist
and
Regionalist
wirters,
culminating
in
an examination of translations of
GuimarAes Rosa's
works.
Having looked
at these aspects of
the translation
process, what
remained
to be done
was to investigate
to what extent
Brazilian
literary
works
in English translation
are read
by the English-
speaking public.
To this
end, a survey of availability and
library
readership was undertaken. Finally,
a reading experiment was carried
out
in
which native speakers of
English
were asked to read the short
story
'A terceira
margem
do
rio',
by GuimarAes Rosa.
The
conclusion attempts to pull all these threads together and
to indicate directions for further
research
PAJANAN POLUTAN DALAM / LUAR RUMAH DAN KEJADIAN PENYAKIT PARU OBSTRUKTIF KRONIS PADA RESPONDEN STUDI KOHOR PTM DI KOTA BOGOR, PROVINSI JAWA BARAT
No full textABSTRACT Continuous exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollutants can be a risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This article is the result of an analysis of non-communicable disease (NCD) cohort study aimed at finding out the relationship between occupation and duration of indoor and outdoor pollution exposure to COPD events. The data source came from the NCD’s baseline cohort conducted by National Institute of Health Research and Development in 5 urban villages in Bogor Tengah sub-district, Bogor City with the total sample of 1739 people. The study design is cross sectional. The dependent variable of this study is the incidence of COPD (based on measurement results with spirometry), and the independent variables are job type, duration of indoor and outdoor exposure. Data were analyzed using chi square test. The result of the analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between the type of work to the incidence of COPD (p <0.05) (OR = 0.642; 95% CI: 0.47-0.878). Although duration of indoor and outdoor exposure did not correlate significantly, but after re-analyzed by stratification of occupation type, there was a significant correlation between the duration of outdoor pollutant exposure with COPD of respondent group with high-risk job (p = 0,052, OR = 4,558, 95% CI: 1,146-18,128). Need to anticipate the potential risk of COPD on cohort respondents. Keywords: Exposure, air pollutants,occupation, indoor/outdoor pollution, COPD ABSTRAK Pajanan dari bahan pencemar udara di dalam maupun di luar ruang (indoor/outdoor) secara terus menerus dapat menjadi risiko penyakit paru obstruktif kronis (PPOK).

An alternative measure of inflation
Full text linkThe author proposes an alternative measure of inflation that captures the intuition behind the use of "core" measures. Inflation is modeled as an unobserved factor affecting the components of an aggregate price index (including food and energy). The common component, estimated using Kalman filtering, resembles usual measures of core inflation; its extrapolation can be used to improve performance in forecasting core inflation.Inflation (Finance) ; Monetary policy
Himdag and Belonging at Gila River: Interpreting the Experiences of Akimel O’odham College Graduates Returning to the Gila River Indian Community
Full text linkabstract: Belonging to a tribe or American Indian Indigenous group in the United States, even if one has already been enrolled or accepted into the community, is a lifelong endeavor. Belonging may be achieved by meeting specific criteria during one life stage yet one must continue to behave and act in ways that align with community expectations to maintain a sense of belonging throughout all life stages. This descriptive qualitative case study presents the findings of in-depth interviews, with five individual tribal members, two male and three female participants, ranging in age from 25 to 55, who are college graduates and tribal members. The study aimed to understand the different forms and ideas of belonging for tribal members, how the notion of belonging is understood and achieved over the life course, and how phenotypic arguments, blood quantum, the role of schooling and demonstration of tribal knowledge influences the extent to which belonging is earned and how that can change over time. The study sought to answer the following questions: How do tribal members define “belonging”? How and in what ways do tribal members learn how to become members of the community? And, what can tribal communities and tribal members do to foster a sense of belonging for members who have left to obtain professional or academic training and seek to return to serve the nation?
The study focused on participants the Gila River Indian Community, a tribal community in southwest Arizona with approximately 23,000 enrolled members, who completed a higher education degree and sought to return to serve as professionals and/or leaders at their tribal nation. Interviews were conducted off-reservation in the Phoenix metropolitan area within a 30-day window and held during the month of September
2015. Interviews were analyzed using three iterative levels of content analysis. Findings suggest there can be three methods of belonging within Gila River: belonging by cultural practices, belonging by legal definition, and belonging by both cultural and legal definition. However, the three methods of belonging do not automatically equate to being accepted by other tribal members.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Educational Psychology 201
Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Exploring the evidence of Middle Amazonian aquifer sedimentary outburst residues in a Martian chaotic terrain
Full text linkThe quest for past Martian life hinges on locating surface formations linked to ancient habitability. While Mars' surface is considered to have become cryogenic ~3.7 Ga, stable subsurface aquifers persisted long after this transition. Their extensive collapse triggered megafloods ~3.4 Ga, and the resulting outflow channel excavation generated voluminous sediment eroded from the highlands. These materials are considered to have extensively covered the northern lowlands. Here, we show evidence that a lacustrine sedimentary residue within Hydraotes Chaos formed due to regional aquifer upwelling and ponding into an interior basin. Unlike the northern lowland counterparts, its sedimentary makeup likely consists of aquifer-expelled materials, offering a potential window into the nature of Mars' subsurface habitability. Furthermore, the lake's residue's estimated age is ~1.1 Ga (~3.2 Ga post-peak aquifer drainage during the Late Hesperian), enhancing the prospects for organic matter preservation. This deposit's inferred fine-grained composition, coupled with the presence of coexisting mud volcanoes and diapirs, suggest that its source aquifer existed within abundant subsurface mudstones, water ice, and evaporites, forming part of the region's extremely ancient (~ 4 Ga) highland stratigraphy. Our numerical models suggest that magmatically induced phase segregation within these materials generated enormous water-filled chambers. The meltwater, originating from varying thermally affected mudstone depths, could have potentially harbored diverse biosignatures, which could have become concentrated within the lake's sedimentary residue. Thus, we propose that Hydraotes Chaos merits priority consideration in future missions aiming to detect Martian biosignatures
The Utilization of Non-Essential Medicines in the Treatment of Ischemic Stroke in Indonesian Hospitals
No full textStroke ranks as the second leading cause of mortality and the third leading cause of disability on a global scale. This has a significant impact, especially in developing countries, places a considerable financial burden on healthcare services, including medicine expenses. Prescribing more generic and essential medicines lowers costs, but prescribing many medicines directly increases overall medication expenses. This study aims to identify commonly prescribed non-essential medicines by internists and neurologists for patients with ischemic stroke. The study adopts a cross-sectional approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. It involves individuals diagnosed with ischemic stroke. Quantitative data collection encompasses patient characteristics, length of hospitalization, prescribing patterns, secondary diagnoses, number and names of consumed medicines, and therapeutic classes. Retrospectively collected data gained from medical records and admission records between January and September 2019, with a maximum sample size of 30 patients. Qualitative data is obtained through in-depth interviews with internal medicine specialists and neurologists to understand their prescribing practices. The five most prescribed non-essential medicines by specialists in internal medicine and neurology are citicoline, mecobalamin, piracetam, herbal mixtures, and insulin analogs. The use of non-essential medicines aims to achieve enhanced therapeutic effects, expedite post-stroke recovery, and address cognitive impairment and speech difficulties
Jews and gender in British literature 1815-1865.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the variety of relationships between Jews and gender in early
to mid-nineteenth century British literature, focussing particularly on representations
of and by Jewish women. It reconstructs the social, political and literary context in
which writers produced images and narratives about Jews, and considers to what
extent stereotypes were reproduced, appropriated, or challenged. In particular it
examines the ways in which questions of gender were linked to ideas about religious
or racial difference in the Victorian period.
The study situates literary representations of Jews within the context of
contemporary debates about the participation of the Jews in the life of the modern
state. It also investigates the ways in which these political debates were gendered,
looking in particular at the relationship between the cultural construction of
femininity and English national identity.
It first considers Victorian culture's obsession with Rebecca, the Jewess created in
Walter Scott's influential novel Ivanhoe (1819). It examines Rebecca's refusal to
convert to Christianity in the context of Scott's discussion of racial separatism and
modern national unity.
Evangelical writers like Annie Webb, Amelia Bristow and Mrs Brendlah were
prolific literary producers, and preoccupied with converting Jewish women.
Particularly during the 18'40s and 1850s, evangelical writing provided an important
forum for the construction and consolidation of women's national identity.
Grace Aguilar's writing was an attempt to understand Jewish identity within the
terms of Victorian domestic ideology. In contrast, Celia and Marion Moss, in their
historical romances, offered narratives of female heroism and national liberation,
drawing on the contemporary debate about slavery.
Benjamin Disraeli's construction of a "tough version of Jewish identity was a
response both to the contemporary stereotype of the feminised Jew and to the debate
about Jewish emancipation. It also drew on the virile ideology of the Young England
movement of the 1840s
