    We used the well-being evaluation method, a technique for measuring individual utility, to study how people in the wildland urban interface of Colorado (USA) felt about their lives before and after two wildfire scenarios. Variables such as age, family size, fire frequency, and house value were found to affect initial well-being levels. However, after a significant life event, such as a wildfire, many variables that initially affected well-being were no longer significant. We found that after wildfire, the frequency of wildfire occurrence became the most important influence on well-being.well-being evaluation method, Colorado, happiness, wildland urban interface, wildfire intensity, Agricultural and Food Policy, Community/Rural/Urban Development, Environmental Economics and Policy, Farm Management, Health Economics and Policy, Institutional and Behavioral Economics, Land Economics/Use, Livestock Production/Industries, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy, Risk and Uncertainty,

    The limits of healthcare reforms in Indonesia: Interrogating the Dutch colonial legacies’ influence within the logic and principles of welfare

    No full text
    In recent decades, governments in developing countries have been inclined to introduce greater redistributive policies, placing greater emphasis on universal programs than on targeted ones. This article elaborates on the different theoretical perspectives of social policy development in the Global South to explain the emerging features of contemporary healthcare in Indonesia. It is argued that although certain political and structural factors may have collectively created favorable conditions for policy reforms, these factors do not necessarily cause the country to shift toward a universal welfare state. Possible explanations for this may rest on institutional factors, such as the historical-colonial legacy, which changed the incentive structures within which both new and old welfare institutions operated. Thus, transformation remains stuck at stratified universalism. Moreover, the expansion has not generated a significant reduction in decommodification, defamilization, and declientelization. The case of Indonesia may illustrate the current welfare expansion challenges faced by many developing countries. © 2021 Akademikerförbundet SSR (ASSR) and John Wiley & Sons Ltd

    AbstractTo develop elementary school students’ spatial thinking and support classes on social studies, especially in geography field, the author developed flash-based puzzle video games of a map of Japan and examined the effectiveness of the application. In this study 28 students of fourth grade elementary school tried to play once a week for three weeks. At first only 20 percent of them could finish solving the puzzle within 5minutes, but after 3 weeks, 80 percent of them could finish in 5minutes in less. Furthermore, in a paper-based test students were asked to find prefectures on the map of Japan before and after these experiments and 70 percent of students had better scores at the post experiment test. Students acquired the skill to think identification of shapes, location and letters as spatial information through playing this map puzzle game. These results indicate that the game applications as digital education materials have effects on fostering elementary school students’ spatial thinking, widening their views and also supporting geography education

Penelitain ini bersifat yuridis empiris Dalam penelitian ini penulis melakukan penelitian terhadap efektivitas hukum merupakan penelitian yang membahas bagaimana hukum beroperasi dalam masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis sosiologis. Peneliti melakukan penelitian sosio legal karena peneliti meneliti mengenai efektivitas pasal 10 ayat (1) Perda KTR Kota Mataram bagaimana suatu peraturan tersebut berlaku didalam masyarakat serta hambatan apa saja yang terjadi serta bagaimana upaya penanggulangan dari hambatan tersebut. Teknik analisis data adalah dengan mengelompokan data dan informasi kemudian melakukan interpretasi dan menarik kesimpulan secara induktif secara empirik efektivitas pasal 10 ayat (1) peraturan daerah nomor 4 tahun 2013 tentang kawasan tanpa rokok namun kenyataannya efektivitas pasal 10 ayat (1) peraturan daerah nomor 4 tahun 2013 tentang kawasan tanpa rokok tidak efektiv, dikarenakan ada beberapa faktor yang tidak berjalan secara maksimal karena adanya hambatan-hambatan seperti pengawasan yang tidak dapat dilakukan secara maksimal serta masyarakat yang melakukan peribadahan di pura menganggap merokok telah menjadi kebiasannya dan budaya dari masyarakat Hindu yang tidak mengenal sesuatu dilarang ataupun dilarang. Sejauh ini upaya dari ketua krama pura yang sebagai penegak hukum telah melakukan kordinasi didalam melakukan pengawasan dan sesegera mungkin memasang tanda larangan merokok di pura. Ketua krama pura juga telah melakukan upaya dalam pengedukasian dala bidang hukum, kesehatan dan juga agama serta penyuluhan mengenai Peraturan Daerah Nomor 4 tahun 2013 tentang Kawasan Tanpa Rokok. Kata kunci : Efektivitas, Kawasan Tanpa Rokok, Peraturan Daerah nomor 4 tahun 2013 tentang Kawasan Tanpa Rokok. Abstract This research is aimed to describe the effectiveness of Article 10 Paragraph (1) of Regional Regulation of Mataram Number 4 Year 2013 on Non Smoking Premises. The juridical empirical method was applied in the research in which the way the law works in society was observed. The socio-juridical method was also employed; the socio-legal was used in the research, as the author observed the effectiveness of Article 10 paragraph (1) of Regional Regulation on Non-Smoking Premises in Mataram, how a regulation works in a society, what obstacles are present, and the solutions to the problem. The data of the research were analyzed by grouping data and information before it was interpreted and concluded inductively. Empirically, Article 10 Paragraph (1) of Regional Regulation Number 4 year 2013 on Non Smoking Premises is not effective due to several factors that do not maximally work because there are obstacles such as lack of optimal supervision, and locals still see smoking as a part of Hindu culture which believes there is no need to ban something like smoking. So far, the head of the temple has teamed up with certain parties to control this act and no smoking sign will be soon put at the temple. The head is also trying to educate the locals related to law, health, and religion. Regional Regulation Number 4 Year 2013 on Non-Smoking Premises will also be profoundly introduced to the locals. Keywords: effectiveness, non-smoking premises, regional regulation of municipalityÂ

    Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.

    IFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells

    RT 81.5 .S6 2014A call for collaboration betweenprofessions in health and social care is one of the key reforms in healthcare. This came after realizing that, in order to meet the demands of the community, health professionals have to be encouraged to work -cellaboratively. In this regard, Inter-Professional Learning (IPL) among students of health and allied health sciences has been advocated to break down boundaries between them. Application of this approach has been influenced by various factors including students' perceptions. The purpose of the study was to determine the perception of undergraduate nursing students on IPL approach at Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences and St John's University of Tanzania Specific objectives were to determine what the undergraduate nursing students know about the IPL approach, determine their views on the way IPL approach is being implemented in their university and identify challenges faced, during the IPL approach. The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design. A convenient sampling method was adopted to obtain a sample of 240 respondents from the total population of 288 undergraduate nursing students. Data analysis was carried out with the help of Epi Info, computer software. Out of 228 respondents, 136 {59. 7%) said IPL is effectively applied in the university, 36.4% said it is not effectively applied while the minority 9 (3.9%) pointed out that IPL is not applied at all. A majority of 192 {85.3%) of the respondents revealed that they need the IPL approach in their university. This finding is statistically significant (P value < 0.05). Three main challenges encountered by students exposed to the use of IPL were; inadequate learning/teaching resources 51.8%, schedule conflicts 33.3% and lack of cooperation among learners and lecturers 19. 7%. Relevant solutions were suggested by respondents in relation to each problem including, improving learning/teaching resources as suggested by 48%, proper planning to avoid schedule conflicts 28% and promoting cooperation among learners and lecturers 18% respectively. The University and other stakeholders should address the findings of this study because the students' views of the IPL approach suggest opportunities for improvement Therefore, it is highly recommended that the university constructs or extends the existing lecture halls, purchase functional teaching aids, use varied instruction methods, conducts seminar/workshop on IPL approach, hires/recruit nurse lecturers and provide opportunity for staff and students to be involved in the development of new strategies for better use -of IPL in the future
