Gambaran Status Gizi Ibu Hamil dengan Preeklampsia: Studi Kasus di Kabupaten Kepulauan Aru, Dobo Maluku Tenggara
No full textLatar Belakang: Preeklampsia merupakan suatu sindroma yang terjadi karena kehamilan dimana hipertensi terjadi setelah minggu ke-20 pada wanita yang sebelumnya memiliki tekanan darah normal disertai hipertensi, proteinuaria, edema dan umumnya terjadi pada trimester ketiga kehamilan. Preeklampsia juga merupakan salah satu dari lima penyebab utama kematian ibu sebesar 1 2% di dunia. Tujuan: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menggambarkan status gizi ibu hamil dengan preeklampsia di Kabupaten Kepulauan Aru, Dobo Maluku Tenggara. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian mix method yaitu kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan desain Case Studies. Penelitian kualitatif untuk mengetahui gambaran status gizi ibu hamil dengan preeklampsia, penelitian kuantitatif untuk merekam asupan makan ibu hamil dan pengukuran status gizi dengan preeklampsia. Hasil: Karakterisitik partisipan dengan kejadian preeklampsia adalah usia >27 tahun, pekerjaan sebagai ibu rumah tangga dapat menjadi salah satu pencetus stres yang berisiko meningkatkan kejadian preeklampsia karena stres menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan tekanan darah, usia kehamilan partisipan terdeteksi mengalami kejadian preeklampsia sejak 20-30 minggu berdasarkan data KIA. Risiko preeklampsia meningkat sebesar dua kali lipat setiap peningkatan berat badan sebesar 5-7 kg, partisipan memiliki peningkatan berat badan berkisar antara 8-25 kg yang menyebabkan risiko terjadinya preeklampsia juga meningkat. tingkat kecukupan kebutuhan ibu hamil yang meliputi kelebihan energi, defisit protein, kelebihan lemak, kekurangan kalsium dan zinc menjadi pendukung dari peningkatan risiko kejadian preeklampsia di Kabupaten Kepulauan Aru, Dobo Maluku Tenggara.Background: Preeclampsia is a syndrome that occurs due to pregnancy where hypertension occurs after the 20th week in women who previously had normal blood pressure accompanied by hypertension, proteinuaria, edema and generally occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. Preeclampsia is also one of the five main causes of maternal mortality by 12% in the world. Objective: This study was conducted to describe the nutritional status of pregnant women with preeclampsia in Aru Islands Regency, Dobo, Southeast Maluku. Methods: This study uses a mix method research method that is quantitative and qualitative with Case Studies design. Qualitative research to determine the nutritional status of pregnant women with preeclampsia, quantitative research to record the intake of pregnant women and the measurement of nutritional status with preeclampsia. Results: Characteristics of participants with preeclampsia are> 27 years of age, work as a housewife can be one of the triggers of stress that is at risk of increasing the incidence of preeclampsia because stress causes an increase in blood pressure. MCH data. The risk of preeclampsia is doubled with every increase in body weight of 5-7 kg, participants have an increase in body weight ranging from 8-25 kg which causes the risk of preeclampsia also increases. the level of adequacy of needs of pregnant women which includes excess energy, protein deficits, excess fat, lack of calcium and zinc is a supporter of the increased risk of preeclampsia in Aru Islands Regency, Dobo, Southeast Maluku
Overview of Nutritional Status of Pregnant Women with Preeclampsia: Case Study in Aru Islands Regency, Dobo City, Southeast Maluku
No full textBackground: Preeclampsia is a syndrome in terms of hypertension after 20-week pregnancy referring to a pregnant woman that previously had normal blood pressure, followed by having hypertension, proteinuria, edema and generally occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. Preeclampsia is one of five main causes of maternal mortality up to 12% in the world as well. Objective: This study was conducted to describe nutritional status of pregnant women with preeclampsia in Aru Islands Regency, Dobo City, Southeast Maluku. Methodology: This study used mix methods, namely, quantitative and qualitative research with Case Study design. Qualitative research was to determine nutritional status of pregnant women with preeclampsia and quantitative research was to record nutrition intake of pregnant women and measure nutritional status of pregnant women with preeclampsia. Results & Discussion: Characteristics of participants with preeclampsia were more than 27 years old, worked as housewife that could be one of stress triggers and had some risk to increase preeclampsia cases because of stress that caused blood pressure increase. Preeclampsia was detected in pregnancy term of participants about 20-30 weeks according to Maternal and Child Health data. Preeclampsia risk was doubly by every increase in body weight (5-7 kg). Participants had body weight increase ranging from 8-25 kg which caused preeclampsia risk increase. Parameters of recommended dietary allowances of pregnant women including energy excess, protein deficit, fat excess, calcium and zinc deficiency were secondary factor of preeclampsia risk increase in Aru Islands Regency, Dobo City, Southeast Maluku
Interactions of visual attention and quality perception
No full textSeveral attempts to integrate visual saliency information in quality metrics are described in literature, albeit with contradictory results. The way saliency is integrated in quality metrics should reflect the mechanisms underlying the interaction between image quality assessment and visual attention. This interaction is actually two-fold: (1) image distortions can attract attention away from the Natural Scene Saliency (NSS), and (2) the quality assessment task in itself can affect the way people look at an image. A subjective study was performed to analyze the deviation in attention from NSS as a consequence of being asked to assess the quality of distorted images, and, in particular, whether, and if so how, this deviation depended on the distortion kind and/or amount. Saliency maps were derived from eye-tracking data obtained during scoring distorted images, and they were compared to the corresponding NSS, derived from eye-tracking data obtained during freely looking at high quality images. The study revealed some structural differences between the NSS maps and the ones obtained during quality assessment of the distorted images. These differences were related to the quality level of the images; the lower the quality, the higher the deviation from the NSS was. The main change was identified as a shrinking of the region of interest, being most evident at low quality. No evident role for the kind of distortion in the change in saliency was found. Especially at low quality, the quality assessment task seemed to prevail on the natural attention, forcing it to devi te in order to better evaluate the impact of artifactsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Representations of migrant and nation in selected works of Rohinton Mistry and Salman Rushdie
No full textThis thesis explores the representations of, and the relationship between. the migrant and the nation in selected works of the Bombay-born novelists Rohinton Mistry and Salman Rushdie. I explore each writer's engagement with contemporary debates surrounding the material, political, social and imaginative consequences of the crisis in secularism in India during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and consider how this engagement is informed by their
migrant positions beyond India's borders. A primary concern is the way in which Mistry's and Rushdie's representations of the nation, and of migrant and diasporic subjects, intersects with the representation of Bombay in their work.
This thesis is divided into five chapters. The first two chapters concentrate on Mistry's fiction, the remaining three on Rushdie's work. Published between 1988 and 2002, the central novels examined are situated within debates regarding the founding principles of the Indian nation, and notions of Indianness, the rise of communalism in general and Hindu nationalism in particular, and the renaming of Bombay as Mumbai. My readings foreground the necessity of a
close understanding of the historical and political transformations taking place within Bombay and India during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but also during the 1950s and 1960s. I argue that Mistry's and Rushdie's work is informed by a deepening anxiety over these socio-political transformations, and over how reconfigurations of Indianness increasingly position minority communities, and migrant and diasporic subjects, outside of definitions of national identity.
This anxiety extends into the negotiation of their own migrant positions. My reading of the differing representations of the migrant in Mistry's and Rushdie's work engages with ideas of accountability, political responsibility, and with notions of cosmopolitanism. In doing so, I question familiar assumptions regarding the migrant condition as one of predominantly empowering political agency. I argue that, while both authors emphasise the importance of the migrant sustaining a critical engagement with India's politics, they also foreground the anxious difficulties of doing so. This difficulty informs Mistry's and Rushdie's divergent negotiation of their own position as migrant writers, and I examine how their fiction is marked by an anxiety over the adequacy of writing as a mode of political engagement with the crisis in secularism and the parochialisation of Bombay, and as a means of negotiating the politics of migrancy
The Politics of the Idea of Partnership: From contemporary aid policy to local health governance in practice in Zambia
No full textThis thesis explores the idea of partnership in contemporary aid policy and practice. Drawing on a multi-disciplinary body of literature that is broadly ‘constructivist’ in orientation, and using the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the health Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) and the health sector in Zambia as case studies, the research uniquely explores how (and why) the idea of partnership is a pervasive feature in aid policy, and how this relates to and shapes local practice, including the practice of politics that this enjoins.
Drawing on textual analysis of policy documents and on qualitative field research conducted in Zambia between November 2008 and July 2009, the thesis provides a number of important and novel insights. Firstly, it shows how the idea of partnership began its contemporary life in the socio-political relations of aid institutions and in the context of an aid crisis in the 1990s. Secondly, it shows how the idea travelled ideationally and geographically, through an elite network of aid agency actors (cf. Mosse, 2007), eventually becoming an expected and symbolic motif of aid policy. Thirdly, the thesis suggests why partnership remains a pervasive policy idea; featuring in SWAp and Global Fund policy because it symbolically conceals the existence of different perspectives about the right relations of health and developmental governance. Fourthly, and at the same time, the thesis shows how partnership is dominantly constructed in aid policy in a depoliticised way – as a technical and economic way to organise action – due to the prevailing power of donor governments and aid agencies in the socio-political processes that produce aid policy and the context of inequality in which aid is governed. Finally, the thesis shows how the depoliticisation of policy is ‘unravelled’ in the health sector in Zambia as partnership is translated, in and through the politics of collaboration, contestation, and compromise (Mosse, 2007, p.2, 2005a p.645; Rossi, 2006; Bending and Rosendo, 2006). This shapes, contorts and constrains local health governance in diverse and unexpected ways

The dramaturgy of ritual performances in Indian parliamentary debates
No full textThe content, style and form of MPs' performances on the floor of both Houses of the
Indian Parliament has undergone dramatic change within the last decade. For example,
97% of the productive hours of the Winter (Nov-Dec) 2010 Session were lost due to
intense disruption by MPs across the political spectrum seeking to stall the House.
Moreover, an increasing number of Bills are debated for less than an hour, if at all, on
the floor of Parliament - raising the conceptual question of whether legislation can still
be considered one of parliament's key functions in India. These changes require, at the
very least, an attempt to re-conceptualize the meaning and significance attributed to
various tropes of parliamentary performances, including those which seemingly subvert
all notions of parliamentary procedure, decorum and etiquette. In my thesis, I adopt a
novel interdisciplinary analytical framework, drawing upon performance studies, microsociological
dramaturgy of face-to-face interaction, interpretations of procedural
invocations, rhetorical political analysis and the study of political rituals. My primary
research question was whether the concept of ritual could usefully be mapped onto
performances of debates in the Indian parliamentary context. I then asked what the
significance of the absence or presence of rituals in this context would mean. Two case
were studies selected for this analysis, namely the Prevention of Terrorism Act (2001-
2004) and the Women's Reservation Bill (1996-2011), informed by a more general
ethnography of the Indian Parliament undertaken for this research. Both studies were
chosen using the logic of 'extreme case study selection' as these performances exhibit
extreme forms of dramaturgical violence, protest and polarized rhetoric that is
increasingly reflective of the everyday performances of the Indian Parliament. In my
research, I have adopted an interpretivist-constructivist approach to the ethnographic
method and have conducted two tranches of field research in New Delhi for that
purpose. My analysis demonstrates the presence of a diverse range of rituals of debate
being performed simultaneously during the legislative process within the Indian
Parliament, namely, procedural rituals, interpersonal rituals and disruptive rituals. These
findings corroborate the broader argument that the study of rituals are integral to an
understanding of parliamentary processes. Moreover, instead of dismissing certain
aspects of performance (e.g. physical obstruction of debate) as being symptomatic of
what many scholars have called the 'decline of parliament', my findings support the
cause for re-signifying, or re-reading parliamentary disruption as supporting, rather than
diminishing, the processes of political representation and widening the spectrum of
forms of political action considered as legitimate modes of political deliberation. The
evolution of these newer, sometimes disruptive, forms of representative ritual can be
read into wider processes of vernacularization and mediatization currently transforming
the ethos, identity and modus operandi of the Indian Parliament
