Analisis Budaya Patriarki Dalam Pemilihan Karir Mahasiswi Tingkat Akhir Pada Universitas Sahid Surakarta

This study examines the influence of patriarchal culture on the career choices of final year female students at Sahid University Surakarta. Using qualitative methods, data was collected through in-depth interviews with seven main informants and two supporting informants. The results showed that patriarchal culture significantly influences the career choices of female college students, with men dominating important positions in academic and professional environments. Female college students face limited career opportunities in education and social fields, while leadership roles are dominated by men. While reproductive health services are generally adequate, the quality of off-campus facilities needs to be improved. Women also feel less safe in public spaces and their participation in public activities and economic decision-making remains limited. This research suggests universities provide mentoring programs and leadership training for female students, offer diverse internship opportunities, and promote gender equality through educational campaigns and supportive policies. This research is expected to provide new insights into the influence of patriarchal culture on women's career choices.

Determinants of educational and career decisions as well as educational migration based on the example of medical students at the Medical University of Lodz

Career decisions are most often made when taking up higher education. This is particularly true for medical students, especially medical practice students. Many factors influence the decisions made by young people. The subject literature mainly points to the importance of one’s own predisposition and interests, but also to the role of remuneration and the situation of a particular profession in the labor market. The case of people who take up the medical practice course of the Ministry of National Defense (MND) at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland is particularly interesting. The purpose of this paper is to show the reasons identified during the pilot study for taking up the analyzed course, the choice of university, and the university city. The pilot study, designed in principle to verify the validity of the prepared survey questionnaire, was conducted among 29 third-year students of the MND medical practice course at the Medical University of Lodz. It was conducted using a diagnostic survey method in the form of a questionnaire with over a dozen questions. The questions addressed the factors related to the students’ choice of medical practice course, determinants affecting their choice of the Medical University of Lodz and the university city. The questionnaire also contained questions about the respondents’ post-graduation plans and demographics. The results of the study allowed for the identification of the most important factors that affected the respondents’ choice of the medical practice course. These included personal interests, predisposition, the profession’s prestige, family traditions, and the physician’s remuneration. Other aspects included the factors affecting the choice of university and Łódź as the university city. The results of the study proved that the respondents chose the medical university in Łódź due to the availability of the MND medical practice course, as it is the only course of its kind in Poland. The high quality of the learning facilities, the university’s prestige, and the high level of teaching were also of great importance. Łódź was chosen as the university city primarily because of its university and the availability of the MND medical practice course.

Higher education reputation management through increasing the role of public relations

A university's reputation is an important factor in winning the competition and ensuring sustainability. The reputation built by a university must be about its vision and mission. Reputation needs to be managed professionally by an organization namely quality public relations as the spearhead in delivering and communicating information to all university stakeholders. This research aims to formulate how to manage the reputation of higher education by increasing the role of public relations. The research method used is a descriptive analysis method that combines surveys through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with stakeholders as the main informants. It can be concluded that public relations play an important role in managing higher education reputation based on the results of the research. The built reputation must be based on the values adopted because they become the guideline and direction of the college's development goals. A university's reputation is influenced by accreditation, quality of graduates, human resources, leadership, college rankings, facilities, curriculum, services, community service and innovation, publications and collaborations. Negative factors such as violence, bullying, plagiarism and diploma forgery have the potential to reduce reputation. In reputation management, public relation has a role as a liaison to stakeholders in conveying information about the reputation of higher education. Public relations must manage negative factors that can reduce reputation. The results of this study will be a reference for further research.

Road infrastructure is very important for the economic progress of Tanjung Aur Seberang village residents. Economic development in Tanjung Aur Village, Tebo Regency has significantly increased traffic levels. If this is not balanced by improving the quality of transportation facilities and infrastructure, then this could cause serious problems. Determining the value of the degree of density of the foundation layer aggregate (soil) class S in obtaining soil stability with safe conditions in accordance with the requirements of density standards is the aim of this research. The methods used are direct tests in the field and in the laboratory. Testing soil density in the field using a sand cone tool follows the provision stated in SNI 03-2828-1992, while testing soil density in the laboratory follows the provisions stated in SNI 1742-2008. Soil density testing intervals vary between 50 meters, 75 meters, 100 meters, 150 meters, 200 meters depending on location conditions. The results sand cone testing was carried out on roads from STA 2+000 to 3+800. In the first test with 9 test points, the field density was obtained below 95%, namely STA 2+100 (94,141%), STA 2 +550 (94,389%) and STA 3 +800 (94,289). Theses results indicate that the required standard degree of field density has not been achieved, so that the base layer of class S aggregate can be added and compaction can be carried out again. And from STA 0 + 005 to 4 + 200 in the second test with 26 test points. Test results using a sand cone tool show that the average water content value is 7.513% with a density reaching 98.846%. and these results were in accordance with applicable standard requirements.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess indoor air quality (IAQ) in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in California during the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate their implementation of IAQ best practices described by public health authorities to control respiratory pathogen transmission via inhalation. DesignThis observational study conducted IAQ assessments in a convenience sample of LTCFs to gather qualitative data on the implementation of IAQ best practices. The design included 5 pilot visits to develop a standardized method of data collection and then systematic data collection at 10 facilities. Setting and ParticipantsThe study focused on 10 LTCFs across California, chosen from facilities that responded to flyers advertising free IAQ assessments. Some of the facilities had previously experienced COVID-19 outbreaks affecting residents and staff. MethodsState health department industrial hygienists performed site visits to collect data on each facility's heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system operation, outdoor air introduction, recirculated air filtration, use of portable air cleaners, and directional airflow in isolation areas to evaluate implementation of IAQ best practices in each of these areas. Qualitative data were obtained through visual inspections and interviews with maintenance personnel. ResultsFindings indicated suboptimal implementation of IAQ best practices across the assessed facilities: no facility operated HVAC systems continuously, 40% had all outdoor air dampers open, 20% used MERV-13 or higher rated filters, 20% used portable air cleaners, and 20% performed directional airflow assessment and management for isolating COVID-19 cases. Conclusions and ImplicationsMost LTCFs assessed were not adhering to IAQ best practices, highlighting a significant opportunity for improvement. IAQ best practices described in this study are achievable with existing systems and are critical for reducing virus transmission through the air in LTCFs. The findings underscore the need for more systematic assessments and improvements in IAQ within LTCFs to protect staff and residents.

The urge for urban public space evolved in increasingly dense cities. Tirtonadi Dam Park is a waterfront-designed urban park located on Bengawan Solo riverbank area. To support the activities, adequate infrastructure must be provided. The objective of this study was to assess Tirtonadi Dam Park's service quality as an urban public space and suggest methods to improve it to promote local communities' economic development. The variables—infrastructure, access & linkage, comfort & images, use & activity—were evaluated and compiled into 16 indicators. Based on user perceptions, Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) was employed to determine the performance and importance levels of predetermined variables. The findings demonstrated that vegetation, infrastructure for the disabled, and drainage and water systems all dropped into the "concentrate here" quadrant, necessitating further development to enhance quality and add more supporting facilities. Furthermore, the quality of security, environmental cleanliness, pedestrian paths, recreational facilities, informal sectors, lighting facilities, and transportation lies in the “keep up the good work” quadrant so that they should be maintained. Enhancing waterfront facilities with leisurely and recreational features can increase the number of visitors. Improving urban areas and incorporating the surrounding communities in all phases of development will be crucial, with the potential to enhance their economic circumstances.

Implementation Of Restorative Justice Approach In The Settlement Of Narcotics Crime Cases

The phenomenon of narcotics abuse is a serious problem that requires special handling, especially in Indonesia. Traditional approaches that emphasize criminal punishment have not proven to be fully effective in resolving this problem. This study examines the implementation of the restorative justice approach in resolving narcotics crime cases at the Bintan Police. The restorative justice approach emphasizes victim rehabilitation, perpetrator rehabilitation, and reconciliation between perpetrators and victims as an alternative to prison sentences. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal arrangements that support the restorative justice approach in narcotics cases, evaluate the implementation of this approach in the Bintan Police, as well as identify the obstacles faced and formulate relevant solutions. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving in-depth interviews with police officers, medical personnel, and other related parties, as well as analysis of applicable legal documents and policies. The results of the study show that although there are efforts to implement a restorative justice approach in the Bintan Police, the implementation is not optimal. The main obstacles faced include a lack of adequate rehabilitation facilities, limited understanding among law enforcement officials, and social stigma against narcotics addicts. The study found that better coordination between institutions, intensive training and socialization, and improved rehabilitation facilities are needed to overcome these barriers. Based on these findings, the suggestions given include increasing the capacity and quality of rehabilitation facilities by the government, further training for police officers on restorative justice approaches, and educational campaigns for the community to reduce stigma against narcotics addicts. With these steps, it is hoped that the restorative justice approach can be applied more effectively, providing a more humane and recovery-oriented solution in handling narcotics cases at the Bintan Police.

Assessments and application of low-cost sensors to study indoor air quality in layer facilities

Indoor poultry facilities often experience poor air quality due to intensive farming and restricted ventilation. Monitoring the air quality in these barns is crucial considering the health of both the birds and producers. Advancements in sensor technologies have led to the development of low-cost sensors (LCS) that can continuously monitor air pollutants. Even though most poultry facilities in Canada are indoors due to harsh winter weather conditions, there is a lack of indoor air quality (IAQ) studies. This study aimed to evaluate the field performance of the LCS network in a table egg farm in Canada, where the sensors were designed specifically for operating in dusty poultry facilities continuously. The LCS monitored IQA parameters such as particulate matter (PM), carbon dioxide (CO2), relative humidity, and temperature in real-time. By implementing a correction factor, the sensor data resulted in an agreement range of 80 ± 20% with a reference instrument. The study observed that PM concentration exceeded several thousand μg/m3, with PM10 at 5.5 × 104 ± 2.2 × 104 and PM2.5 at 6.3 × 103 ± 2.3 × 103, which was found to be most affected by the chicken activity and light regime. The IAQ parameters also exhibited a complex intercorrelation with each other, as well as the outdoor temperature and the building ventilation rate. Sensors were able to make observations that were found only with research-grade instruments in previous studies. Overall, the study showcases the potential of the LCS network as an affordable solution for environmental monitoring in poultry facilities.

SUSTAINING THE MALAYSIAN MONARCHY’S HERITAGE: HOW SHOULD IT BE POSITIONED TO INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS?

Tourism industry relies heavily on good marketing strategy, which becomes imperative for destination marketers to focus on when building long-term consumer engagement, loyalty, and relationships by adopting a sustainable marketing strategy and ultimately safeguard heritage sustainability. This study selects the Malaysian monarchy’s heritage as the research subject and positions strategy as a method to segment and profile international tourists to the said heritage. Respondents were surveyed in July and August 2022, at a museum in Malaysia. Using the Ward method, the clustering analysis identified three clusters, i.e., ‘the royal enthusiast’, ‘the apathetic tourists’, and ‘the inclined royalist’. The main benefits sought by respondents were ‘accessibility’, ‘quality of facilities’, and ‘an increase of knowledge’. Respondents viewed that there should be a focus on ‘representation of the monarchy’s heritage to the Malaysian people and identity’, highlighting that it is ‘a country with nine royal states’, and is therefore unique. Since positioning is about the intention to highlight strengths and distinctiveness in the marketplace, the Malaysian monarchy’s heritage should therefore be positioned in the minds of international tourists as ‘a rich heritage destination with nine royal states’, which is uniquely Malaysia. The clustering of tourists may enhance the consumption intention and achieve continuous sustainable strategic orientation in preserving the Malaysian monarchy’s heritage.

Timeliness and quality of peripartum care provision during a health system strengthening initiative in rural Guinea-Bissau: a qualitative situation analysis

Guinea-Bissau has among the world’s highest maternal and perinatal mortality rates. To improve access to quality maternal and child health (MCH) services and thereby reduce mortality, a national health system strengthening initiative has been implemented. However, despite improved coverage of MCH services, perinatal mortality remained high. Using a systems-thinking lens, we conducted a situation analysis to explore factors shaping timeliness and quality of facility-based care during labour, childbirth, and the immediate postpartum period in rural Guinea-Bissau. We implemented in-depth interviews with eight peripartum care providers and participant observations at two health facilities (192 h) in 2021-22, and analysed interview transcripts and field notes using thematic network analysis. While providers considered health facilities as the only reasonable place of birth and promoted facility birth uptake, timeliness and quality of care were severely compromised by geographical, material and human-resource constraints. Providers especially experienced a lack of human resources and materials (e.g., essential medicines, consumables, appropriate equipment), and explained material constraints by discontinued donor supplies. In response, providers applied several adaptation strategies including prescribing materials for private purchase, omitting tests, and delegating tasks to birth companions. Consequences included financial barriers to care, compromised patient and occupational safety, delays, and diffusion of health worker responsibilities. Further, providers explained that in response to persisting access barriers, women conditioned care seeking on their perceived risk of developing birthing complications. Our findings highlight the need for continuous monitoring of factors constraining timeliness and quality of essential MCH services during the implementation of health system strengthening initiatives.
