IMMIGRATION INSTITUTION PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY BASED ON SMILE


 
 This study aims to develop the concept of immigration performance accountability based on the values of SMILE which is the acronym of “Simpatik, Mumpuni, Integritas, Lugas and Empati”. The study uses a Holistic paradigm, which considers theoretical and spiritual approach. The theoretical approach is carried out by the study of literatures while the spiritual approach is reflected through the understanding of the religious doctrine of truth. This paradigm tries to formulate the concept of holistic accountability. The results show that accountability does not only cover routine tasks and functions, but more importantly also the process of contemplation, meaning, and spirituality. Holistic accountability is the highest and the most abstract form of accountability that must be upholded by every public official i.e. a condition of being accountable not only to humans but also to the God
 
 

From Grievance to Welfare: Reshaping the Identity of Past Gross Violation of Human Rights Victims in Indonesia

This article attempts to describe a shift of identity amongst the victims and survivors of past gross human rights violations in Indonesia, through examining the economic violence of past gross human rights violations in the country and the current available reparative mechanisms Arguably through this examination, and given a wider framework of Indonesia’s transition policy, it could be seen that there is a reshaping of victim’s interest from state’s violence grievances to structural economic vulnerability. This shift is mainly caused by several contributing factors: first is the absence of national level holistic paradigm in resolving the past. This could be depicted in the absence of clear legal framework and the lack of political will to resolve the past; and second is the emerging pragmatic choice made by the government and the (group of) victims/survivors- particularly given the current existing challenge of welfare-based needs faced by the victims/survivors. While the exercised reparative mechanisms- through judicial process and general assistance programs have been considerably useful in empowering the victims/survivors, this situation would potentially fail to portrait the structural (economic) violence that happened in the past.

The New Holistic Paradigm and the Sustainability of Historic Cities in Spain: An Approach Based on the World Heritage Cities

Linked to the objectives of sustainability of the United Nations, the reflection on the historic city promoted by UNESCO has favored the emergence of a new holistic paradigm that focuses on the capacity of culture to improve the quality of life of people and seeks to recover the historical link among culture, development and sustainability. Based on this context, this paper analyzes the main problems that face Spanish World Heritage Cities in terms of sustainability and livability, and the correlation between the new paradigm and the reality of its current management. This study explored sustainability indicators based on the evolution of the population and the number of visitors. The current protection and management model is reviewed based on the four basic tools identified by UNESCO: Regulatory systems, Knowledge and Planning tools, Financial tools and Civic engagement tools. The joint analysis of UNESCO’s Periodic Reports allows us to identify the shortcomings that point to a disconnection between heritage city management and citizenship. After analyzing the impact of the new paradigm in the Spanish reality, the need to continue deepening its dissemination and accelerating its implementation is evident. In the same way. it is essential to establish and implement models of citizen participation that favor the fulfillment of the sustainability challenges of historic cities.

Religiosity and Health: A Holistic Biopsychosocial Perspective.

The resurgence of interest in the influence of religion and spirituality on health is examined within the context of the holistic paradigm and historical connection between nursing and spirituality. While nursing and spirituality often intersect with end-of-life considerations, this article presents findings from studies that demonstrate that religious involvement favors health and longevity across the life course. Examples include protective associations with stress, depression, self-rated health, and infant birth weight. Theoretical and empirical explanations for this relationship are offered, such as social and psychological resources and healthy behaviors. The effects of religion on biological functioning, including allostatic load and telomere length, are also discussed, although this area is understudied. Considerations for the "dark-side" of religious involvement are also offered. Suggestions for nurses wishing to protect and promote the health of their patients using a holistic approach include expanding knowledge of research on religion and health and advocating for patients' spiritual needs by conducting a comprehensive spiritual assessment in primary, secondary, and tertiary clinical settings.

The role, practice and training of unregulated birth workers in Australia: A mixed methods study

BackgroundIn Australia, the provision of homebirth services by unregulated birthworkers (doulas, ex-registered midwives, traditional midwives and lay workers) has increased. Accessing a homebirth with a registered midwife via mainstream services is limited. Concern is growing that new legislation aimed at prohibiting unregulated birthworkers practice may result in homebirth going underground. AimTo explore the role, practice and training of unregulated birthworkers in Australian and establish what they would do if legislation prohibited their practice. MethodsThis study used a mixed methods sequential exploratory design to explore the practice, training and role of unregulated birthworkers in Australia. In phase one, four unregulated birthworkers were interviewed in-depth and the findings informed the development of a survey in phase two. This was distributed nationally through two consumer websites, social media, Facebook and email. Data from both phases were integrated. FindingsUnregulated birthworkers in Australia provide homebirth services to women with high and low-risk pregnancies when this choice is unavailable or unacceptable within mainstream services. They operate covertly to protect their practice and avoid the scrutiny of authorities. Unregulated birthworkers can be experienced and trained in childbirth care and practice, much like a midwife working within a holistic paradigm of care. ConclusionUnregulated birthworkers believe they provide women with the homebirth service they want but cannot access. Mainstream service providers need to listen to consumer criticisms, as women seek answers outside the system. Change is needed to improve and align services with women’s expectations of homebirth.

STRATEGI MITIGASI UNTUK MENGATASI PENYAKIT AKIBAT SANITASI LINGKUNGAN YANG BURUK : PARADIGMA BARU MITIGASI BENCANA

Indonesia’s disaster potential is very high and varied. Natural conditions, population and cultural diversity in Indonesia cause in increased risks due to natural disasters, man-made disasters and emergencies to be complex, on the other side Indonesia is rich in natural resources. Disaster relief should be directed from pre-disaster phase, during emergency response and post disaster. The initial phase of this effort is the need for understanding of all stakeholders (mainly institutions) about the development of the concept and paradigm change mitigation. By knowing the concept and development of this paradigm is expected that all stakeholders can do things from the smallest to the larger and synergies will occur from all stakeholders to minimize the impact of a disaster. From ancient times until now the concept of a paradigm in disaster management shift very rapidly starting from the conventional to the holistic paradigm. In general, the development paradigm is the conventional paradigm (relief & emergency), mitigation paradigm, development paradigm and paradigm of risk reduction. Paradigm that is now growing and effective enough to minimize the risk mitigation is the analogy of mitigation for diseases caused by poor environmental sanitation. The analogy with disease problems mentioned above, there are disasters which can now be viewed in the same perspective, where the current disaster is something that is not predictable and it is destiny or part of the risks of everyday life. The concentration of people and higher population levels worldwide would increase the risk of disasters and multiply the consequences of natural hazards as dangers that arise. However, based on science “of epidemiology disaster” actually most of these disasters can be prevented or at least many ways to reduce the impact of a disaster (mitigation actions). Like the war against disease, warfare should be fought against disaster by any person jointly and involve society as well as changes in social behavior as well as improvements in individual practices.Keywords : mitigation, disease, environmental sanitation, disaster

Model-Based Interoperability Engineering in Systems-of-Systems and Civil Aviation

Interoperability is the capability of multiple parties and systems to collaborate and exchange information and matter to obtain their objectives. Interoperability challenges call for a model-based systems engineering approach. This paper describes a conceptual modeling framework for model-based interoperability engineering (MoBIE) for systems of systems, which integrates multilayered interoperability specification, modeling, architecting, design, and testing. Treating interoperability infrastructure as a system in its own right, MoBIE facilitates interoperability among agents, processes, systems, services, and interfaces. MoBIE is founded on ISO 19450 standard—object-process methodology, a holistic paradigm for modeling and architecting complex, dynamic, and multidisciplinary systems—and allows for synergistic integration of the interoperability model with system-centric models. We also discuss the implementation of MoBIE with the unified modeling language. We discuss the importance of interoperability in the civil aviation domain, and apply MoBIE to analyze the passenger departure process in an airport terminal as a case-in-point. The resulting model enables architectural and operational decision making and analysis at the system-of-systems level and adds significant value at the interoperability engineering program level.

Ilmu Hukum Sebagai Keilmuan Perspektif Paradigma Holistik

The thought of law science today is getting stagnant and being doubtful because it tends to be mainstream positivistic. Positivism paradigm is a rigid paradigm, autonomous, and the law becomes merely a law that reduces the law itself to be simple, linear, mechanistic and deterministic then it raises the condition that positive justice is a procedural justice and not an essential justice. The positivist concept produces an incomplete legal study and then it is being dry, stiff and unable to explain the reality. Such of this condition causes an anxiety then the law science requires a shift paradigm so that there is no gap between Das Sein and Das Sollen. Therefore, the holistic paradigm has become the choice for legal science to be genuine science and signifies that the real science of law is not static but dynamic. This paradigm is an effort to formulate the science of law as a unity of science which is full of values and philosophy to reveal truth and justice to the level of meaning.

An Integrated Open Approach to Capturing Systematic Knowledge for Manufacturing Process Innovation Based on Collective Intelligence

Process innovation plays a vital role in the manufacture realization of increasingly complex new products, especially in the context of sustainable development and cleaner production. Knowledge-based innovation design can inspire designers’ creative thinking; however, the existing scattered knowledge has not yet been properly captured and organized according to Computer-Aided Process Innovation (CAPI). Therefore, this paper proposes an integrated approach to tackle this non-trivial issue. By analyzing the design process of CAPI and technical features of open innovation, a novel holistic paradigm of process innovation knowledge capture based on collective intelligence (PIKC-CI) is constructed from the perspective of the knowledge life cycle. Then, a multi-source innovation knowledge fusion algorithm based on semantic elements reconfiguration is applied to form new public knowledge. To ensure the credibility and orderliness of innovation knowledge refinement, a collaborative editing strategy based on knowledge lock and knowledge–social trust degree is explored. Finally, a knowledge management system MPI-OKCS integrating the proposed techniques is implemented into the pre-built CAPI general platform, and a welding process innovation example is provided to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. It is expected that our work would lay the foundation for the future knowledge-inspired CAPI and smart process planning.

Body, Soul, and Spirit of the Law. Towards a Holistic Legal Paradigm

This article explores potential applications of the body-soul-spirit metaphor in the legal realm. After a justification of the validity of the metaphor as a source of legal meaning, and an explanation of the body-soul-spirit trichotomy in light of St. Paul’s letters and Edith Stein’s writings, the author focuses on some current debates on which the use of the metaphor sheds new light. Based on this metaphor, the author argues for respect for the law as a whole; the use of the spirit of foreign law by national legal systems; the living character of the constitutional body; the emergence of a global law founded on solidarity and not on the self-interest of nation-states; the intrinsic link between law and love, and the reasonable interaction between human law and suprarational (or divine) law.

Characterization of the Degree of Food Processing in Relation With Its Health Potential and Effects.

Up today technological processes are intended to produce safe and palatable food products. Yet, it is also expected that processing produces healthy and sustainable foods. However, due to the dramatic increase of chronic diseases prevalence worldwide, i.e., obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers, ultraprocessing has been pointed out as producing unhealthy foods, rich in energy and poor in protective micronutrients and fiber, i.e., "empty" calories. Indeed the 1980s saw massive arrivals of ultraprocessed foods in supermarkets, i.e., fractionated-recombined foods with added ingredients and/or additives. Epidemiological studies clearly emphasized that populations adhering the most to ultraprocessed foods, e.g., processed meat, refined grains, ultraprocessed plant-based foods, and/or sweetened beverages, exhibited the higher prevalence of chronic diseases. This prompted researchers to classify foods according to their degree of processing as with the international NOVA classification (i.e., un/minimally processed, processed, and ultraprocessed foods). More and more studies showed that such a classification makes sense for health. Overall one distinguishes three categories of processes: mechanical, thermal, and fermentative treatments, this latter being the more favorable to food health potential. This chapter has therefore several ambitions: (1) to review association between degree of food processing and chronic disease risk prevalence; (2) to explore the impact of technological processes on food health potential considering both matrix and compositional effects; (3) to discuss the need for classifying food according to their degree of processing in future epidemiological studies; and (4) to analyze consequences of adhering to a more holistic paradigm in both food processing and nutrition.

MAGNETICALLY LEVITATED TRAIN'S SUSPENSION MODEL

Purpose. The implementation of the magnetically levitated train’s (MLT) levitation force (LF) occurs during the interaction between fields of superconducting train’s (STC) and short-circuited track’s contours (STC), which are included in to levitation module (LU). Based on this, the purpose of this study is to obtain a correct description of such interaction. Methodology. At the present stage, the main and most universal tool for the analysis and synthesis of processes and systems is their mathematical and, in particular, computer modeling. At the same time, the radical advantages of this tool make even more important the precision of choosing a specific methodology for research conducting. This is particularly relevant in relation to such large and complex systems as MLT. For this reason, the work pays special attention to the reasoned choice of the selective features of the research paradigm. Findings. The analysis results of existing versions of LF implementation’s models show that each of them, along with the advantages, also has significant drawbacks. In this regard, one of the main results of the study should be the construction of this force implementation’s mathematical model, which preserves the advantages of the mentioned versions, but free from their shortcomings. The rationality of application, for the train’s LF researching, of an integrative holistic paradigm, which assimilates the advantages of the electric circuit's and magnetic field's theory’s, is reasonably justified in work. Originality. The scientific novelty of the research – in priority of such a paradigm’s and the corresponding version’s of the LF’s implementation’s model’s creating. Practical value. The main manifestation of the practical significance of the work is the possibility, in the case of using its results, to significantly increase the effectiveness of dynamic MLT research while reducing their resource costing.

Community dynamics of stabilized dune xerophytic shrubs

To conciliate the individualistic and holistic paradigms dominating community ecology, I analysed the main factors driving the distribution of xerophytic shrub communities at different scales. I found that the patchy distribution of xerophytic shrubs in southwestern Portugal mainly responds to both local (i.e., soil organic matter) and regional (i.e., climate) factors, confirming the importance of processes acting at different scales. I propose a conceptual model including the ecological dynamics of these communities supported by the analyses of both kinds of drivers and changes in functional diversity. The ecological dynamics between the communities dominated by Stauracanthus genistoides and Ulex australis throughout their co-occurrence area were significantly consistent, despite the factors driving this successional gradient changing regionally. An integrative approach for linking species diversification and distribution assessed the role of edaphic and climatic requirements in the current parapatric distribution of the three species of the genus Stauracanthus.

A historical review of the concept of labor support in technocratic, humanistic and holistic paradigms of childbirth.

BackgroundIn the past century, maternal support during childbirth has been changed according to the different approaches suggested by various health care paradigms.ObjectiveThe aim of this review was to argue the maternity supportive care paradigms of the past century and to closely analyze each paradigm.MethodsThis is a historical review, in which published articles were retrieved from databases including Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed and Google Scholar. Sage Journals and Springer’s publications were also searched due to the high citation rate of their articles. The keywords entered were “Labor support”, “Normal delivery”, “Birth attendance”, “Supportive approaches”, “Health care paradigms”, and “Midwifery models of care”. They were entered alone or in combinations using “AND”. Also, Persian articles were searched in local databases including Irandoc, SID, IranMedex, and Magiran using the above-mentioned keywords in Persian. Sixty articles met inclusion criteria.ResultsThe review revealed four main themes including the definitions of continuous labor support, the technocratic paradigm, the humanistic paradigm and the naturalistic paradigm as models of labor support. According to the evidence, labor support has changed from technocratic to humanistic and holistic approaches, which in turn, caused some changes in midwifery models of care used by midwives in the practice.ConclusionLabor support based on the holistic approaches and the naturalistic paradigms could bring about remarkable outcomes, the most important being satisfied with the birth experience, increased mother’s self-confidence, enhanced mother’s ability in childbirth and better completion of the childbirth process.

Du choc des idées jaillit la lumière: thinking with Eric Broekaert’s integrated and holistic paradigm of education

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to reflect on how Eric Broekaert perceived “Ortho-pedagogy” as an academic discipline.Design/methodology/approachThe authors try to get a grasp on Broekaert’s point of view while cross-reading three central articles in which he explains his integrated and holistic paradigm of education.FindingsOne could argue that, while claiming that the different epistemological, ontological and methodological approaches underlying Eric Broekaert’s paradigm of holistic education are not easily integrated, the potential paradoxes he produced in this claim also enabled a “choc des idées” and challenged and enlightened a wide diversity of researchers and practitioners in taking a partial, locatable, critical, reflexive and temporary stance in educational praxis (Lather, 1991).Originality/valueThe authors discuss how Broekaert, as a companion in life, enabled them to cautiously embrace tensions, paradoxes and complexities in the development of an educational praxis.

Poglądy studentów pielęgniarstwa na temat stanów, zachowań i naturalnych procesów biologicznych poddawanych medykalizacji

<p>Artykuł jest efektem pierwszych analiz wyników badań nad stopniem zmedykalizowania poglądów studentów pielęgniarstwa wobec wybranych stanów, zachowań i naturalnych procesów biologicznych poddawanych współcześnie medykalizacji. Badana grupa wydała się nam interesująca, ponieważ składa się z osób zarówno poddawanych szkoleniu medycznemu, jak i kształtowanych w duchu holistycznego paradygmatu opieki pielęgniarskiej, który powinien skłaniać ich ku myśleniu o człowieku i jego problemach zarówno w kategoriach medycznych, psychologicznych, jak i społecznych. Na podstawie sześciu współcześnie medykalizowanych stanów, zachowań i naturalnych procesów biologicznych (depresji, zakupoholizmu, zaburzeń erekcji, porodów, osteoporozy i otyłości) dokonaliśmy oceny stopnia zmedykalizowania postaw respondentów. W zależności od przykładu medykalizowanego problemu, wyniki są bardzo różne. Studenci pielęgniarstwa z jednej strony patrzą w bardzo zmedykalizowany sposób na osteoporozę (ponad 60% uważa ją za chorobę), a z drugiej strony rzadko w ten sposób definiują depresję (depresję jako chorobę neurologiczną rozumiało jedynie 17% z nich). Ponadto, porównując odpowiedzi studentów I roku studiów I stopnia i II roku studiów II stopnia, uznaliśmy, że studia pielęgniarskie raczej sprzyjają medykalizacji postaw badanych. Jednocześnie doszliśmy do wniosku, że opieranie się na pytaniach zamkniętych nie daje zadowalających wyników, ponieważ są one niejednoznaczne i nie da się na ich podstawie wyjaśnić wewnętrznych sprzeczności w odpowiedziach badanych.</p>

DISORIENTASI PENDIDIKAN MADRASAH DI INDONESIA

Madrasah in the Middle East has known eight or nine centuries before madrasah in Indonesia, which emerged as a reaction to the reform movement as well as a response to the policy of Dutch colonizers secular education. Madrasah got a decent place in Indonesia after rising SKB 3 minister (Minister of Interior, Minister of Education and Culture, and the Minister of Religious Affairs) in 1975, where madrasas equated with other schools in terms of the status of the diploma, graduates continuing education opportunities and changing schools. In a further development, the school as disoriented. It is caused by two things: first, a paradigm shift towards sekularistik. Education implementation has marred even be interpreted as a partial instead of a holistic paradigm as desired by Islam. Supposedly, the madrasa education as a whole should make Islam as a principle in the determination of educational objectives, the formulation of the curriculum and standard of value of science and the learning process, including determining the qualifications of teachers and school culture that will be developed in the madrasas. Second, the functional institutional weakness as a result of shifting the orientation and function of the family and their influence and societal demands materialistic-hedonistic.The weakness seen in a mess madrasa curriculum, not optimal role of teachers as well as school culture that is not in line with the will of Islam.

Understanding the Global Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction

Disasters are a growing international concern that has spurred the development of political strategies and policies from international to local levels. This paper analyzes how disasters are constructed as a policy problem within the UN global strategy for disaster risk reduction. Building on a social constructivist view of policy problems, we analyze how disasters and disaster risks are being represented through these global policies, while we also pay attention to what this representation excludes and de‐emphasizes. We show that the UN strategy is mostly concerned with adjusting or adapting societies to hazards, and managing risks, rather than addressing the social processes that render people vulnerable to those hazards. The predominant concern with technological and managerial solutions eclipses the need for changes in the social structures that create disaster risks. We argue that the understanding of disasters represented in the UN strategy supports an emerging holistic paradigm. However, we also argue that the holism it represents is limited rather than radical. By making visible what is excluded or not properly problematized in this representation, we point to the complexity of the task and show where its limitations lie.
