Pengaruh Latihan Tactical Attacking Options for Two Players terhadap Menyerang Tim Futsal Putra UNJ

The aim of this research is to find out how much influence the tactical attacking options training for two players (vertical pairs, parallela, and backdoor) has on attacking the UNJ men's futsal team. The method used in this research is the experimental method. The population of this study were members of the UNJ Men's Futsal KOP, totaling 64 people. The sample consisted of 17 athletes who competed with proportional sampling. The design used in this research is a one-group pre- and post-test design. From the results of the tactical attacking options test, the initial test average was 3.57 and the standard deviation was 0.56. The final test average was 7.29, and the standard deviation was 1.55. From the results of the average and standard deviation, the thitung is 9.57, while the ttable with a significance level of 0.05 with df (n - 1) = 13 is 2.16. Based on the results of these calculations, it can be seen that tcount (9.57) > ttable 2.16, so H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. This means that the tactical attacking options for the two-player exercise have an effect on improving UNJ men's futsal attacking ability..

Evaluation of the efficiency of educational services in the city of Khabat (a study in the geography of services)

main factor in the change towards the future and the transition from backwardness to progress. It is directly related to man's efficiency, skill and ability to produce work. Education is one of the important indicators that reflects the ability of individuals to think in an organized manner and to bring about some economic, social, and cultural changes that lead to progress and prosperity, without which urbanization would not have been able to develop, and the city would also develop experiences and flourish in education. It is noted that the higher the educational level, the higher the productive efficiency, the higher the income level, and the higher the demand for education at all stages, and this has resulted in an increase in economic and political development. Education is rooted in civilization and is a means of wealth and energy and a manifestation of government services, and is the basis for preparing the individual to become a useful building block in society.

The Concept of Dowry According to Imam Al Qurthubi in Tafsir Al Jami' Li Ahkamil Quran (Tafsir Analysis of QS An Nisa Verse 4)

The concept of dowry as a man's obligation to give to a woman allows for opportunities to be criticized, even denied, because it will only be aimed at appearing inferior on one side and superior on the other. So, looking at the concept of dowry from the perspective of the Koran confirms that the concept of the Koran applies in any society and anywhere without looking at the materialistic context. This research uses this method of library research. This research also uses the ijmali method. The ijmali method is a method in which the meaning of the verse is explained concisely and globally but quite clearly. Therefore, researchers used this research based on primary data as the main data in this research, namely Tafsir Al Jami'li Ahkamil Quran by Imam Alqurthubi. The dowry is only given by the prospective husband to the prospective wife, not to other women or anyone else, even if they are very close to her. Other people are not allowed to take it, even the husband himself cannot take it except with his wife's permission. However, if his wife allows it, there is no obstacle for him to wear it. According to Imam Al-Qurthubi, dowry is an absolute right that the prospective wife has. He said that giving a dowry is an obligation in Islam, and the husband must give it voluntarily and is part of the marriage contract process. A dowry is a mandatory gift given by a prospective husband to a prospective wife as a form of a husband's sincerity and sincerity towards his wife to create feelings of love from both of them. The form of dowry given to women is in the form of goods or services. Religion also does not determine the maximum or minimum amount of dowry that a prospective husband must give to his wife. Therefore, due to differences in a man's ability to give the dowry.

MOTIVATION OF CROATIAN HEALTH WORKERS TO GO ABROAD

Introduction: Prior to Croatia's accession to the European Union, nurses could be employed in Germany under an agreement between the German Federal Agency and the Croatian Employment Service. Following Croatia's accession to the European Union in 2015, thelabor market has become more accessible and open. Objective: Explore the motivation of Croatian health workers to go abroad.Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. The study was conducted using a survey consisting of 29 questions and involving a total of 102 respondents, and three interviews were conducted for research purposes. Results: The participants attend retraining to ensure a better future for their children abroad (38.1 %), to find a good, steady and better paid job (23.5 %) and to obtain a dignified pension (63.7 %). As the main reason for emigration, respondents cite corruption and injustice (65.7 %), non-arrangement of the state (59.8 %), while seeing the biggest problem in leaving the family (20.6 %). At the end of 2019 Croatia was abandoned by 1,438 nurses, mainly due to poor working conditions and dissatisfaction with the material conditions of work in Croatia. This trend included other health professionals. Conclusion: The main factor for the emigration of health professionals is the political organization of the state, which is manifested by corruption and injustice, clientelism, political affiliation, and replaces man's knowledge, ability, skill, value and dignity. Keywords: motivation, departure, health professionals, abroad

"For a man to go to hospital, then that would be his last option": A qualitative study exploring men's experiences, perceptions and healthcare needs in the implementation of Universal Health Coverage in Kenya.

The achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) requires equitable access and utilization of healthcare services across all population groups, including men. However, men often face unique barriers that impede their engagement with health systems which are influenced by a myriad of socio-cultural, economic, and systemic factors. Therefore, understanding men's perspectives and experiences is crucial to identifying barriers and facilitators to their healthcare-seeking behaviour under UHC initiatives. This qualitative study sought to explore men's perceptions, experiences, healthcare needs and potential strategies to inform an impartial implementation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Kenya. The study employed a qualitative research design to investigate men's healthcare experiences in 12 counties across Kenya. Thirty focus group discussions involving 296 male participants were conducted. Men were purposively selected and mobilized through the support of health facility-in-charges, public health officers, and community health extension workers. Data was coded according to emergent views and further categorized thematically into three main domains (1) Perspectives and experiences of healthcare access (2) Socio-cultural beliefs and societal expectations (3) Desires and expectations of health systems. Findings revealed complex sociocultural, economic, and health system factors that influenced men's healthcare experiences and needs which included: masculinity norms and gender roles, financial constraints and perceived unaffordability of services, lack of male-friendly and gender-responsive healthcare services, confidentiality concerns, and limited health literacy and awareness about available UHC services. Our study has revealed a disconnect between men's needs and the current healthcare system. The expectations concerning masculinity further exacerbate the problem and exclude men further hindering men's ability to receive appropriate care. This data provides important considerations for the development of comprehensive and gender-transformative approaches challenging harmful masculine norms, pushing for financial risk protection mechanisms and gender-responsive healthcare delivery attuned to the unique needs and preferences of men.

Validity and Reliability of Finger-Strength Testing in 6 Common Grip Techniques for the Assessment of Bouldering Ability in Men.

To determine the criterion validity and test-retest reliability of isometric finger-strength testing in 6 differentiated grip techniques for the assessment of bouldering ability among male climbers. We recruited participants at climbing gyms in Sweden and through online advertisements. We included climbers over 15 years of age with a minimum bouldering performance level of 17 International Rock Climbing and Research Association (IRCRA) for men and 15 IRCRA for women. We tested unilateral, maximal isometric peak finger strength in the front 3 drag, half crimp, closed crimp, 35 sloper, 45 × 90-mm, and 90 × 90-mm pinch through maximal force deloaded of a force plate. We analyzed criterion validity, test-retest reliability, and capacity to determine bouldering performance ability using a stepwise multivariable regression model. Women were excluded from the analysis due to insufficient sample size (n=16). Thirty-two male participants were included in the primary analysis. The median (interquartile range) age in the advanced and elite group was 27 (25; 35) and 23 (22; 32) years, respectively. The half crimp for the participants' weak and strong hand displayed the highest ability to determine bouldering grade performance, explaining 48% to 58% of the variance. In the stepwise regression, maximal strength in the half crimp and the front 3 drag collectively explained 66% of the variance for performance. Strength in the half crimp proved the most important performance indicator. The results of this study provide a reliable and valid framework for maximal isometric peak finger-strength testing in advanced and elite male boulderers.

KONSEP KETUHANAN DALAM PEMUJAAN BEBATURAN (PELINGGIH BATU) DI PURA SARI

Sari Temple is one of the unique temples located in Pandan Strait Village, Banten, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, where the pelinggih place of worship is still in the form of "bebaturan" (piles of stones) without the slightest change. If viewed from another point of view, of course the worship of stone piles will bring thinking towards 'ism' or traditional ancestral beliefs such as animism and dynamism. In fact, the concept of worship of God in Hinduism is absolutely monotheism. How exactly the concept of divinity in the worship of bebaturan, in Pura Sari is very interesting to be investigated further. So that this qualitative descriptive research seeks to discuss and explore the unique meaning of Pura Sari. Pura Sari is believed to have existed since prehistoric times more or less in the megalithic era. Apart from being a place to worship God and all His manifestations, it turns out that the existence of Pura Sari is also a conservationist and guardian of civilization. This is because the authentic form of pelinggih bebaturan, which is still distinctive, without the slightest change to pelinggih (place of worship). The form of worship in Pura Sari is the application of the concepts of animism and dynamism as part of the form of worship in the concept of Saguna Brahman Theology (God Embodied). Hinduism strongly believes in the Absolute/Transcendental Oneness of God, but on the one hand Hinduism is also aware of the limitations of man's ability to relate directly to and achieve his God. So that it can also be concluded in the worship of bebaturan, in Pura Sari is also the application of the concept of Immanent Monotheism, which is a belief that considers God to create the universe and everything in it, God is outside and is inside His creation

Social connectedness and surviving at the margins: Findings from interviews with low-income Latino men in the U.S. Northeast.

Structural and interpersonal discrimination can lead to social exclusion and limited social integration, inhibiting the use of support networks to gain access to health-protective material and social resources. Social support theories suggest that connectedness may moderate the link between discrimination and health risk. This study examined how risk factors (i.e., structural and interpersonal discrimination) further marginalize Puerto Rican men by limiting access to social support. We also aimed to identify resiliency factors, such as cultural values related to social interactions and community support, which may be protective for these men's well-being. We conducted 40 semistructured interviews with a stratified purposeful sample of Puerto Rican (92.5%) men aged 25-70 (Mage = 50.7) in the U.S. Northeast. A hybrid deductive and inductive thematic qualitative analysis was used to analyze data. Participants discussed how structural and interpersonal discrimination result in inequities and barriers to resources and services (e.g., lack of adequate shelter, insecurity, employment) which impacted their well-being through the inability to access fundamental support for survival. The men identified cultural values (e.g., familismo, simpatía) and emphasized the importance of community support as protective factors that may provide a respite from the difficulties of navigating discrimination experiences. Findings suggest discrimination limits Puerto Rican men's ability to access resources, which has a detrimental impact on their well-being. Identifying social support beyond the family, and considering cultural values related to support, can enhance community interventions by focusing on incorporating multiple forms of support that may improve Puerto Rican men's health.

WOMEN'S PERSPECTIVE ON ISLAMIC EDUCATION

Islam regards men and women as equals with equal rights. However, there are major differences between men and women. This research will look into gender concerns in Islamic education. The study's goal is to assess Islamic education from a gender perspective and learn more about how Islam is taught. This type of inquiry is known as library research. To assess all of the study's data, the researchers used descriptive analytic approaches. Before investigating gender perspectives, the researchers gathered information on Islamic education. The results of this study show that men and women have similar perspectives on the role of women in Islamic education. When a society is peaceful, the issue of gender discrimination can be handled. The study discovered no differences in men's and women's intelligence or ability for thought, and as a result, women had an equal place in Islamic education to men in terms of gender representation.

Gender-oriented vocabulary in advertising texts

Lexical means of expressing gender orientation in advertising texts are considered in the article. The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the need to take into account gender specificity in advertising slogans, which contributes to the accurate pragmatic impact and more effective construction of advertising communication. The study was based on the texts presented in the ads of popular magazines "Maxim" and "Cosmopolitan". The article considers examples of advertising texts with the indication of the lexical means of gender orientation, which supports the conclusion that the lexical means of gender orientation in the advertising text can include the vocabulary indicating the gender of the addressee, which contributes to the orientation of the advertising campaign to a specific target audience. The article presents an analysis in quantitative and percentage terms, which clearly demonstrates that, for example, adverbs in advertising for a female audience are much more common than in male advertising. The use of verbs in advertising texts, both for male and female advertising, is a priority, since the main semantic load is expressed through them. However, verbs predominate in male-oriented advertising texts, which indicates a man's ability to take decisive action. The verb is expressive and meaningful, dynamic.

Stadt mit Jüdinnen: Antisemitism and Misogyny in Hans Karl Breslauer's Recently Restored Film Die Stadt ohne Juden (1924)

Abstract: Unlike Hugo Bettauer's 1922 novel, on which it is based, Hans Karl Breslauer's 1924 film Die Stadt ohne Juden features Jewish women. They appear as department store customers, mothers, wives, girlfriends, and synagogue congregants, yet they never engage in dialogue and, with but one exception, are always depicted together with men. Despite its inclusion of Jewish women, the film does little to disturb stereotypical representations of them, severely limiting its ability to challenge the powerful social structures that govern their representation. This article explores how additional scenes that appear in the restored 2018 version of this film address contemporary anxieties about Jewish women's and men's appearance, behavior, and ability to pass as non-Jews. That a film intended to oppose hatred of Jews ultimately cannot confront audiences with the absurdity of antisemitism reveals the limits of interwar films in transmitting critical messages.

The Impact of Feminized Stigma on Male Socialization

In recent decades in Chinese society, it has been considered shameful for men to have so-called feminine traits. When the description of femininity is applied to men, most people think it is against traditional culture and detrimental to social development. However, these distortions and disregard for biological sex are potential stigmas many people do not realize. Therefore, this article focuses on the phenomenon of feminized stigma. The article describes the specific manifestations of feminized stigma and the effects of stigma on men's identity, ability development, and socialization. In addition, possible responses to these effects will be presented. The article correlates feminization and stigmatization and offers an interpretation of the term feminization in a specific context. It can also explain the causes of some of the "feminized" male socialization outcomes. It also provides suggestions and ideas for eliminating the stigma of feminization and its harmful effects.

Shifting toward intensive parenting culture? A comparative analysis of top mommy blogs and dad blogs

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to compare gendered framings of family issues in popular mommy blogs and dad blogs to assess what they reveal about parenting ideologies.BackgroundBlogs are cultural arenas where parents navigate what it means to be a “good” mother or father. Despite a growing body of work on parents' use of social media, the content and framing of parenting blogs by gender is understudied.MethodThrough a comparative analysis of 400 written posts from the top 20 mommy bloggers and dad bloggers in the United States and Canada, we examine the scope and construction of family issues in blogs and how they are framed by mothers versus fathers.ResultsMothers frame parenting in ways that highlight their investment in safeguarding children's futures, often through consumer solutions. Both mothers and fathers extend similar concerns around protecting family health and create a counter‐frame against intensive parenting by admitting and accepting imperfection. Fathers' posts emphasize how work and gender norms constrain men's ability to be involved parents.ConclusionOur comparative analysis illustrates gendered nuance in blog framings of family life and presents slight indications of shifting toward a shared culture of intensive parenting.ImplicationsThis study elucidates the potentials and pitfalls of parenting blogs as platforms for family knowledge mobilization and social advocacy around parenting problems in a consumerist digital society.

The Young Men and the Sea: Reflections on Male Infantile Development, Fatherhood and Psychoanalytic Training

This essay explores the challenge that men's experiences of uncertainty, vulnerability and dependency pose for phallic masculinity. The theory of the little boy's disidentification from the mother is revisited to account for a fear of drowning in a sea of overwhelming affect, as exemplified by my own experiences as father and psychoanalytic candidate. I argue that men's ability to tolerate the unconscious depends on their relationship to the maternal, which is forged on the threshold between preoedipal and oedipal functioning. The importance of receptive fathers to help men integrate the maternal is illustrated by a case discussion in which an early impasse is resolved in supervision.

Understanding gay tourists’ involvement and loyalty towards Thailand: The perspective of motivation-opportunity-ability

Gay tourists are increasingly important for destination segment marketing, but little attention has been paid to gay tourism in Asian destinations. This research focuses on the internal and external factors of gay travelers that make them travel in Thailand and explores their interactions with destination loyalty. We first conduct semi-structured interviews to explore the motivation, opportunity and ability (MOA) of gay tourists traveling to Thailand and then integrate the concepts of involvement and loyalty into MOA theory to explain destination loyalty formation using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicate that gay men's travel motivation and ability have positive relationships with their destination involvement and destination loyalty, while their travel opportunity has a positive relationship only with their destination loyalty. Additionally, gay men's destination involvement positively influences their destination loyalty. These findings provide valuable practical implications for developing gay destinations and promoting gay tourism in Asia.

Horst Bredekamp is an art historian and representative of the science of images (Bildwissenschaft), known for his research on the image agency. In the two reviewed works, the image appears as an independent agent that operates in the political space and essentially creates this political space. In the study "Image Act. A Systematic Approach to Visual Agency" (2018), Bredekamp attempts to systematize the methods of image action. The types of acts singled out by the researcher exist outside of linear chronology and are ways of manifesting an image. The image can combine several different types of acts. First, Bredekamp considers the image as a determinant of man as a species, a manifestation of the cognitive revolution, man's ability to act of differentiation, and his ability to transform nature. Despite this, the researcher goes to the meaning of Charles Darwin's teaching "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" (1872) to develop the concept of "pathosformel" (pathosformel) of Aby Warburg. After all, Brellekamp concludes images of nature continue human images, not oppose them. The second of the analyzed works, "Leviathan: Body politic as visual strategy in the work of Thomas Hobbes" (2020), is built around the analysis of the frontispiece to Hobbes's treatise "Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil" (1651). Bredekamp constructs research by involving an impressive source complex, thus demonstrating that a work of art is both an actor involved in society. Combining the analysis of these two works in one text makes it possible to see how Bredekamp's theory can be applied to the specific source material.

Impact of Selected Lifestyle Factors on Semen Quality in Iraqi Men

Background: Millions of people in their reproductive years are affected by infertility around the globe, which has consequences for their families and communities. Presently, various factors related to lifestyle (such as age, BMI, and smoking) are greatly responsible for male infertility. The primary goal of performing a semen analysis is to evaluate a man's ability to fertilize, estimate his fertility, and this process is comparatively easier, less invasive, and cheaper than examining the female. Objectives: In Iraqi males of infertile couples, this study aims to establish the correlation between paternal age, body mass index, and smoking habit, and its impact on semen parameters. Materials and Methods: During their attendance at a private infertility clinic from July 2021 to October 2022, a total of 120 couples struggling with infertility took part in the study. The males were subjected to semen analysis, following the guidelines set by WHO-1999. The study aimed to assess the impact of factors such as paternal age, body mass index, and smoking habits on semen parameters. These factors were then subjected to statistical testing to determine their significance. Results: Secondary infertility, the most prevalent among all infertile couples (n=69), is characterized by inversely related sperm parameters when considering the duration of infertility. The decrease in sperm concentration, rapid progressive motility, and normal morphology resulting from the impact of aging process, body weight, and smoking habit was found to be statistically significant (p-value
