Examining women journalists in Surabaya: a critical ethnographic media portrait study

The current scenario in the public sphere sees women's presence, yet certain professions, including journalism, remain primarily dominated by men. This gender disparity not only affects media policies but also perpetuates stereotypes hindering women's advancement in the industry, thus becoming a subject of interest for the researchers focusing on Surabaya's media landscape. This study aims to analyse the portrait of women in the media by focusing on female journalists in Surabaya, Indonesia. This research used critical ethnography and standpoint theory as a foundation for analysing the phenomenon. Based on the results of the researcher's search, the number of female journalists in Surabaya is at most 30% compared to male journalists. This research uses critical ethnography and standpoint theory, which are used as a foundation to analyse the phenomenon. Based on the results of the researcher's search, the number of female journalists in Surabaya is at most 30% compared to male journalists. The results of this study show clearly that society's norms and stereotypes about gender that do not prioritise female journalists are the cause of discrimination. In fact, this discrimination often occurs unintentionally due to factors in the organisational structure and environment that do not support the inclusion of women. This leads to poor representation of women in the media until there is an endless cycle of the system.

Art and Cultural Diversity of Dayak Ngaju Tribe: Christian Education Interactive Learning on Kuala Kurun

The prevalence of comedy and satirical programming on television and online platforms has contributed to a growing divide between entertainers (musicians) and their audiences, with the former offering guidance, criticism, and a reflection of everyday life through their work. As far as the researchers's search and exploration, there are still a few who examine and can even be said to rarely relate music through the culture of Karungut and Deder song, a culture that exists and lives in Dayak Ngaju, Central Kalimantan. This research is interesting because besides music as a fun strategy, Deder song as local wisdom is an expression of the daily life of the Dayak people in Central Kalimantan. This song contains advice, satire, advice and is still present today as part of the richness of world civilization. Lantunan Deder is presented in traditional events (weddings, welcoming guests and various Manasai dances that include men and women in rhythm or balance). Participation in Lantunan Deder has become interesting as a strategy for learning about the content of Christian religious education lessons in schools, living rooms and churches. The usefulness is more about the love of culture, God also sensitizes the participation of women and men as part of the sustainable development goals (SGDs). The research method used 4D model development with analysis and validation space and considered diversity, and song structure. The results showed that Deder as method, strategy, development, cultural actualization, as well as an instrument rarely done in the learning process of Christian religious education and researchers conducted direct practice in the field by melting Deder chants with the learning process which resulted in the creativity of students as actors and user subjects as well as cultural preservation subjects for Ngaju Dayak culture.

Evaluation of Stunting Countermeasures Strategies in Indonesia

<p>Stunting is a major health problem for toddlers in Indonesia. To prevent and overcome stunting in Indonesia, the central and regional governments have established various policies and programs to accelerate stunting reduction. This study aims to evaluate government policies and programs from existing studies on the government's strategy for tackling stunting cases in Indonesia. This study used a systematic review method on case study journals indexed by Sinta with the keyword "Stunting Prevention and Management" searched through the Google Scholar database with a range of 2019 - 2023. Based on the researcher's search, five journals met the following criteria. Evaluation based on input, process, and output parameters from case studies on preventing and controlling stunting in Indonesia. The results of a systematic review show that the process of preventing and overcoming stunting in Indonesia is quite good but not optimal. The Covid-19 pandemic is one of the factors causing the process of preventing and overcoming stunting in Indonesia not to be optimal. At the same time, other problems include limited human resources, financing, and inadequate facilities or facilities in several areas.</p>

BAWASLU Budgeting Mechanism on The Election of Regional Chiefs: Case Study of South Sulawesi

The previous Pilkada, in terms of funding, the election of the regional head (Pilkada) was faced with two crucial things. First, holding regional elections budget. The second is the number of funds. The permit issued by the local government for the Pilkada itself will affect the area's fiscal space and development plans. The cost of holding the Pilkada comes from GDP, but the amount of the budget approved by the regional government varies depending on the financial capacity of each region. The first stage is the budget preparation stage in the budget cycle, which includes budget submissions from each section or department. The second stage is the budget approval stage. After the budget is ratified as law, all departments enter the budget implementation stage. The implementation of the budget must be accompanied by supervision to ensure that according to predetermined plans. The last stage is ratifying the budget calculation. The mechanism for managing the regional head election grants budget follows the laws and regulations regarding disbursement to reporting. However, from the results of the researcher's search, it was found that there are still things that need to be considered, especially in terms of financial transparency.

A systematic review of studies on use case points and expert‐based estimation of software development effort

AbstractIn recent years, due to significant evolution in adopting new technologies and development methodologies in the field of software engineering, the developers and researchers are striving to optimize the accuracy of software effort estimation (SEE). The overestimation and underestimation both are the key challenges for software progress; hence, there is a continuous need for an accurate SEE. This paper highlights a systematic review of studies associated with the best practices of use case point (UCP) and expert judgment–based software development effort estimation techniques. The primary aim and contribution of this paper are to support the researchers through an extensive review to ease to other researcher's search for effort estimation studies. We have performed state‐of‐the‐art review from five viewpoints of reference: (a) review of studies concerning UCPs and expert judgment–based effort estimation, (b) research contribution and future recommendation in different novelties, (c) usage of the dataset, (d) availability of accuracy metrics, and (e) findings of the studies. We have performed a systematic review of studies which are published in the period of 2000 to 2019. We have selected a total of 34 primary studies of UCP and expert judgment–based estimation techniques to report the research questions stated in this review.

Unlearning the Past: New Foundations for Online Student Retention

Many factors affect students selecting a university to attend and almost as many factors that can present challenges once they enroll and begin attending classes. Once they start taking courses, the next challenge is completing them, and this can be particularly taxing for online students. In the case of online universities, quality assessment criteria of the online courses and faculty may vary. Thus, it is important not only to get feedback from students, but also to look at course completion rates. The purpose of this paper is to share lessons learned regarding factors that significantly increased student online course completion rates at one online for-profit university. This study looked at a researcher's search for strategic factors that considerably increase course completion rates and identified assessment strategies to improve those course completion rates. The researcher’s collaboration with researchers from another university led to findings that revealed best practices and assessments factors successfully applied in online courses. Administrative changes at the researcher’s university led to retention efforts that have positively affected student retention. One major factor observed by the researcher included analytical writing assessments and their predictive value for doctoral student retention. Results of the implementation of the changes at the researcher’s university included a 39% increase in retention of first year doctoral candidates, from a low of 39% in 2011 to 75% in 2012.

From Khariji to Kabuli: Being an 'Insider/Outsider' in an Afghan Woman's Fieldwork

This article reflects on the challenges of being an 'outsider' in one's own culture and on the journey from being a complete outsider to an 'insider/outsider'. Reflecting on fieldwork among women in north-east Afghanistan, the article explores assumptions and perceptions about Badakhshan and its people and the role of fieldwork in shattering them. It is also a reflection about values and compromises and the researcher's struggle to negotiate the appropriate balance. The article sheds light on the researcher's search for and discovery of different versions of herself when faced with a different version of 'home'.

A review of studies on expert estimation of software development effort

This paper provides an extensive review of studies related to expert estimation of software development effort. The main goal and contribution of the review is to support the research on expert estimation, e.g., to ease other researcher’s search for relevant expert estimation studies. In addition, we provide software practitioners with useful estimation guidelines, based on the research-based knowledge of expert estimation processes. The review results suggest that expert estimation is the most frequently applied estimation strategy for software projects, that there is no substantial evidence in favour of use of estimation models, and that there are situations where we can expect expert estimates to be more accurate than formal estimation models. The following 12 expert estimation “best practice” guidelines are evaluated through the review: (1) evaluate estimation accuracy, but avoid high evaluation pressure; (2) avoid conflicting estimation goals; (3) ask the estimators to justify and criticize their estimates; (4) avoid irrelevant and unreliable estimation information; (5) use documented data from previous development tasks; (6) find estimation experts with relevant domain background and good estimation records; (7) Estimate top-down and bottom-up, independently of each other; (8) use estimation checklists; (9) combine estimates from different experts and estimation strategies; (10) assess the uncertainty of the estimate; (11) provide feedback on estimation accuracy and development task relations; and, (12) provide estimation training opportunities. We found supporting evidence for all 12 estimation principles, and provide suggestions on how to implement them in software organizations.
