Wither Labor and Human Rights? Precarious Work and Informal Economies in the Post- COVID-19 Global South
No full textThis chapter focuses on women workers within global production in Sri Lanka to comment on how the pandemic resulted in workers losing hard won labor rights. It also highlights how the pandemic put to stop some positive initiatives in the realm of legal and rights education of workers and argues that the pandemic would lead to reversing positive policy outcomes that resulted from decades of labor protests within Sri Lanka’s informal economy.
In 2018 and 2019 the author collaborated with two local NGOs to conduct educational workshops on occupational health laws and practice. These multi-day workshops also provided general education on labor laws and rights. As a result, several working groups among workers of several factories and boarding clusters were formed to assess, educate and support when labor and occupational health laws were violated. The first wave of COVID-19 infections in Sri Lanka saw factories shuttering with little to no warning for few months. By the time the factories re-opened around May/June 2020 the rapid unravelling of global production networks were being felt at the ground level. While the western buyers put the financial burdens of the non-claimed products on the local factories, they in turn outsourced the fallout to the factory workers in the form of drastically reduced salaries and non-payment of bonuses and incentives. The economic fallout of the lockdown saw the opportunities in the informal economies disappear making the available global factory work very attractive, even under sweat-shop like conditions. This chapter demonstrates that the pandemic had been detrimental to the legal empowerment and the advancement of labor rights within the global production networks and argues for rethinking of informal economies beyond the neoliberal development models which have not being conducive to legal and labor rights empowerment even during pre-COVID-19 days
Pengembangan E-book "Pustaka Sandya Budaya" sebagai Media Pembelajaran Materi Keragaman Budaya Indonesia di Sekolah Dasar
No full text-This study focuses on the development of a product called the e-book “Pustaka Sandya Budaya”, which aims to be a learning media for Indonesian cultural diversity material in elementary schools. This study uses the Design and Development (D&D) research type, with a four-D development model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The subjects in this study were a media expert, a material expert, and 43 fifth grade elementary school students. Data collection methods include question and answer dialogues and questionnaires, while data analysis techniques use quantitative descriptive analysis. The results of the validation of the e-book media “Pustaka Sandya Budaya” are very promising, obtaining a percentage from media experts (95%), material experts (92.5%), both categorized as “very feasible”. Product trials also showed results with a percentage of individual trials (98.41%), large group trials (90.90%), and large group trials (98.44%) with the category “very feasible” and can be used without improvement. The main findings of this study indicate that the e-book “Pustaka Sandya Budaya” is a very feasible and effective learning media, which can be used in elementary schools to study the material on Indonesian cultural diversity.Penelitian ini berfokus pada pengembangan produk bernama e-book “Pustaka Sandya Budaya”, yang bertujuan sebagai media pembelajaran materi keragaman budaya Indonesia di sekolah dasar.

A Point Process Characterization Of Electrodermal Activity
No full textElectrodermal activity (EDA) is a measure of sympathetic activity using skin conductance that has applications in research and in clinical medicine. However, current EDA analysis does not have physiologically-based statistical models that use stochastic structure to provide nuanced insight into autonomic dynamics. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the data of two healthy volunteers under controlled propofol sedation. We identified a novel statistical model for EDA and used a point process framework to track instantaneous dynamics. Our results demonstrate for the first time that point process models rooted in physiology and built upon inherent statistical structure of EDA pulses have the potential to accurately track instantaneous dynamics in sympathetic tone

Pengaruh Tri Sandya dan Komitmen Mahasiswa terhadap Coping Stress pada Mahasiswa Tingkat Akhir di Kampus STAHN Mpu Kuturan Singaraja
Get PDFThis study aims to evaluate and validate the influence of tri sandya on copingstress in final year students at STAHN Mpu kuturan Singaraja Campus; evaluateand validate the influence of student commitment on coping stress in final yearstudents at STAHN Mpu kuturan Singaraja Campus; and evaluate and validate theinfluence of tri sandya and student commitment together on coping stress in finalyear students at STAHN Mpu kuturan Singaraja Campus. In this particularresearch, quantitative and correlational approaches were used. It was determinedthat a sample size of 162 would be sufficient to accurately reflect all of thegraduating seniors at STAHN Mpu Kuturan. Trisanda and student devotion areexamples of elements that might be considered independent, whereas copingstress is the variable that is being studied. The information obtained from thesurveys and observations was put through an examination process that employedmultiple linear regression analysis. A t count of 2.938 indicates that there is a0.004 percent probability that TriSanna will have a good impact on themanagement of stress. It is possible to predict how well a student would do underpressure based on their degree of devotion (t-score = 13.641, probability = 0.0000.05). The effect of Hurricane Sandy and the amount of devotion shown bystudents results in an overall reduction in stress management of 81.7%. Accordingto the results of the research, students in their final year at the STAHN MpuKuturan Singaraja Campus exhibit a significant influence of Tri Sandya andstudent devotion in their ability to cope with stress..Keywords: tri sandya, student commitment, coping with stress
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
