Analisis Pornografi Balas Dendam (Revenge Porn) dan Regulasinya di Indonesia

This study delves into the pervasive issue of revenge porn, a form of online-based gender crime facilitated by the rapid advancements in digital technology. Revenge porn entails the non-consensual dissemination of sexual content, posing significant risks and harm to its victims. The research aims to elucidate the potential impacts of revenge porn on its victims and explore the existing legal protections available to them. Employing both normative and empirical juridical methods, the study draws upon literature review to uncover the psychological and sociological ramifications endured by victims, which often manifest in detrimental physical effects. Despite the absence of comprehensive legal safeguards specifically addressing online-based sexual violence and revenge porn in Indonesia, existing legal provisions, such as those outlined in Law Number 44 of 2008 concerning Pornography and Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions, offer a semblance of protection for victims. Through a thorough examination of these legal frameworks, this research underscores the urgent need for robust legal measures to safeguard individuals from the perils of online-based gender crimes, particularly revenge porn.

Demystifying the Capability of Sublook Correlation Techniques for Vessel Detection in SAR Imagery

This paper examines the attainable performance of various Doppler sublook or subband cross correlation techniques for vessel detection in synthetic aperture radar images. Research from the past two decades claims that these techniques were capable of improving the detection of small ships in challenging maritime environments. Despite many published experimental examples, a thorough analytical investigation corroborating this claim is noticeably absent. This paper is based on a rigorous theoretical analysis founded on the statistical properties of a textured sea surface model in thermal noise with simultaneous consideration of a constant false alarm rate. Emphasis has been placed on the correct accounting for detrimental physical effects caused by the Doppler spectrum being split into nonoverlapping parts, which have not been sufficiently considered in the literature to date. The theoretical results are confirmed via simulations and are substantiated with real RADARSAT-2 data. The analysis in this paper has neither found theoretical nor empirical evidence that sublook correlation techniques outperform the classical detector based on the image magnitude.

Knowledge, attitude and practice of intensive care unit nurses about physical restraint.

Physical restraint is mainly used in intensive care units (ICUs) to prevent delirious or agitated patients from removing tubes and lines connected to them. However, inappropriate use of physical restraint could have many detrimental physical effects on the patient, such as nerve damage, asphyxiation or even death. The aim of the study is to investigate nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice of physical restraint in ICUs in Jordanian hospitals, about which little is known. A descriptive and cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 400 nurses working in three public hospitals and one university-affiliated hospital from different geographical regions in Jordan was selected. An Arabic version of the Physical Restraint Questionnaire (PRQ) was used to collect the data. A total of 300 completed questionnaires were returned, with a response rate of 75%. Of the total sample, 51% were males, 65.7% were from public hospitals and 80.3% held a bachelor's degree. The mean score in the knowledge section was 9.7 (SD =1.7) out of 15; in the attitude section, it was 24.7 (SD = 4.8) out of 33; and in the practice section, it was 30.9 (SD = 3.5) out of 42. Nurses who reported previous related education scored higher on the knowledge section (mean = 10.7; SD = 1.4) than nurses who reported no previous related education (mean = 9.1; SD = 1.6; p < .001). However, no significant differences between these categories were found in relation to attitude and practice. The study demonstrated some lack of knowledge and unsafe practices regarding physical restraint in ICUs in Jordan. It suggests improving nurses' knowledge, attitude and practices through in-service education on best practice for physical restraint, developing policies/guidelines and providing adequate staff and equipment to maintain patient safety and prevent complications. Conducting education programmes on physical restraint for ICU nurses and providing other preventive strategies are important in improving nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice.

Imaging of Ancient Egyptian Animal Mummies.

Human mummies have long been studied by using imaging as a primary investigative method. Mummified animal remains from ancient Egypt are less well researched, yet much can be learned about species diversity and the methods of preservation. Noninvasive imaging methods enable mummy bundles to remain intact, with no detrimental physical effects, thus ensuring protection of a valuable archaeological resource. This article is based on the research experience gathered during 13 years (2000-2012) with 152 animal mummies held in the collections of 17 museums in the United Kingdom. Conventional radiography, computed radiography, digital radiography, and computed tomography (CT) available in the clinical setting were used to assess the value of each imaging modality in the study of animal mummies and related material. Radiography proved to be an excellent research method that provided initial insight into the contents of the mummy bundle, and CT contributed additional useful detail in some cases. Paleoradiologic analyses enabled information on mummy bundle contents to be proved, including the nature of the skeletal remains and the methods of mummification. An optimum method involving radiography and CT is described.

Off the Leash and Out of Control: Masculinities and Embodiment in Eastern European Stag Tourism

Entrenched conceptions of masculinity have constructed the male body as bounded and controlled. This article discusses the centrality of a particular construction of the male body to the phenomenon of British premarital stag party tourism to Eastern European cities. Drawing on data from participant-observation in Kraków, Poland, it is shown that the tour participants enact an embodied masculinity which is unruly and unrestrained. The stag tour experience is embodied through the use of clothing and incidences of nudity, public urination and vomiting, and the detrimental physical effects of heavy alcohol consumption. This embodiment is self-destructive and frequently self-parodic. The failures of participants to sustain a controlled and contained body are celebrated as part of the enactment of a boisterous masculinity. This represents a release from normative pressures concerning the male body but, with transgression being only temporary, also acts to support the ritualistic reinscription of a wider hegemonic masculinity.

Gender identity disorder in adolescents

At a recent conference in London the problems and possibilities of clinical management in gender identity disorder (GID) of adolescents were addressed. The number of referrals of adolescents with GID has tripled in recent years. With the uncertainties of the DSM classification and the lack of reliable criteria diagnosis remains controversial. Atypical gender behaviour is rather common in children but persistent GID in adolescence is only seen in 25% of the referred children. The role of pubertal hormones in brain development is the subject of studies but no clear answers are (yet) available. Prenatal hormone exposure is clearly linked to child play behaviour but does not appear to be the most important factor for gender identity. An option for adolescents with persistent GID and an increase of distress at puberty is puberty-delaying treatment with GnRH analogues. This treatment relieves distress and no detrimental physical effects have been observed, but follow up is limited. From an ethical point of view, the developing autonomy of the adolescent with GID should receive more attention and a practical approach should underscore the experimental nature of the intervention and the possibility of withdrawal from treatment. In dealing with adolescents with GID puberty-delaying treatment is a valuable option with encouraging preliminary results, but long term outcome studies and more research are necessary.

The Modular WDM-Gridconnect as a Passive Routing Structure with Distributed Interfacing Capabilities

For communication services over transparent optical paths, specified in terms of bit rate and bit error probability, the maximum length is determined by detrimental physical effects like dispersion, crosstalk, noise or nonlinearities. Therefore, fiber-optic wide area networks employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and optical bypassing have to be divided into several small transparent partitions. In this paper a scheme accounting for sufficiently short optical paths is introduced which is called Modular WDM-Gridconnect. In this approach the burden of interconnecting different network partitions (i.e., by using an overlay transport system as an interface) is spread over almost all nodes of the network. This property is referred to as distributed interfacing. The network can be extended step-by-step in a modular fashion adding no more than two nodes to the coverage area at a time. The advantageous properties of such an arrangement as compared to a straightforward partitioning are characterized by the cumulative transit traffic and the path lengths in a Modular WDM-Gridconnect cluster.
