The Dual Role of Women in the Household in Larangan Slampar Village, Tlanakan District, Pamekasan Regency

This research examines the dual roles of women in the household in Larangan Slampar Village, Tlanakan District, Pamekasan Regency. The aim of the study was to determine the causes and impacts of women's dual roles in the household in Larangan Slampar Village, Tlanakan District, Pamekasan Regency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with primary data 10 women playing multiple roles and 10 men or husbands of wives playing multiple roles, while secondary research data is in the form of books, journals, official websites, and others. Data analysis was carried out through the process of data reduction, data modeling, and drawing conclusions. Checking the validity of the data was carried out by extending observations, observing persistence, and triangulation. The results showed that the factors causing women to play multiple roles were women's personal desires, family support and motivation, fulfillment of household economic needs, forms of self-actualization, geographical and socio-cultural factors, patriarchal perspectives and social construction. The impact of multiple roles is divided into negative impacts, namely the occurrence of role imbalance, physical conditions that tire easily, psychological conditions or feelings of pressure due to role domination, and educational arrangements for children. Meanwhile, the positive impact of the dual role is the assisted family economy, developing women's potential, achieving goals, and being able to channel the knowledge they already have.

Binegativity and Social Distance Toward Bisexual Women and Men Among Hispanics Puerto Ricans: A Brief Report

This brief report aimed to geographically describe binegativity and social distance among Hispanic Puerto Ricans, and to explore social determinants related to binegativity and social distance toward bisexual women and men. The team employed secondary research data based on a quantitative, cross-sectional study. Data from a sociodemographic questionnaire, a binegativity scale, and a social distance scale were extracted. Demographic data of a sample of 177 participants were poststratified and divided into binary categories for analysis. Results showed that half of the sample (54.2%) reported high or very high binegativity. Similarly, half of the sample (50.8%) also reported moderate or high social distance toward bisexual individuals. The study also found that participants under 30 years of age and without a religion significantly reported less binegativity. In addition, participants who identify as men, as lesbian/gay, and know a bisexual person significantly reported less social distance. The need for more research is discussed.

Modifikasi Produksi dan Biaya Bahan Bakar Minyak pada Kapal Ciremai

Some of the main research problems are the lack of fuel efficiency use, difficulties in loading and unloading process, the refueling process tardiness and the ships route’s delay of the determined and planned routes that could affect the Ciremai Ship’s On Time Performance (OTP). The research aims to determine and analyze the effect of production and fuel oil cost modifications based on the income of Ciremai Ship and its implications for its financial performance after “Three in One” modification. This research used Descriptive statistical analysis method and hypothesis testing using SmartPLS-3. The research sample was taken from the entire routes of Ciremai Ship over the last four years of 48 months. The secondary research data was taken from the financial reports related to production modifications, fuel oil costs, the income and financial performance of the ship. Research findings show that the production modifications have a direct influence on financial performance while fuel costs and income do not have a direct influence on it. The production modifications do not have a direct effect on income instead fuel costs have a direct effect on income and production modifications do not have an indirect effect on financial performance through income.

Development and Preliminary Validation of the Social Distance Toward Bisexual Persons Scale

This article details the development and preliminary validation of the Social Distance toward Bisexual Persons Scale (SDBPS). This secondary data research employed an instrumental design, based on a quantitative, nonexperimental, cross-sectional study conducted with Hispanics in Puerto Rico. The scale’s development involved multiple stages. The team developed a pool of 22 items with two dimensions measuring social distance toward bisexual individuals that were generated from research literature. Seven experts reviewed the initial items, leading to the validation of the 10-item SDBPS. A diverse sample of 373 participants took part in the validation. As a result, the SDBPS demonstrated good psychometric properties, revealing variations in social distance by sex and sexual orientation. Convergent and divergent validity were confirmed. The SDBPS is a valuable tool for assessing social distance toward bisexual individuals, especially within Hispanic populations, and contributes to understanding the complexity of stigma. Further research should focus on cross-validation and assessing the scale’s temporal reliability.

Pursuing circular economics through the integrated crop-livestock systems: An integrative review on practices, strategies and challenges post Green Revolution in Indonesia

The Green Revolution, driven by advanced technology, substantially increased food production in Asian developing countries, including Indonesia. Nevertheless, it also resulted in environmental consequences, notably soil fertility degradation, threatening future agricultural productivity. As an alternative approach, the Integrated Crops-Livestock System (ICLS) holds promise for simultaneously enhancing crop and livestock yields while upholding environmental sustainability. This article investigates the significance of ICLS as a sustainable agricultural solution in the context of circular economics post Green Revolution era in Indonesia. This study employs an integrative literature review, encompassing secondary data analysis, research findings, and publications, to underscore the potential of ICLS in Indonesia and beyond. Despite its potential, the limited adoption of ICLS among Indonesian farmers is attributed to factors such as inadequate knowledge and skills, insufficient policy support, and inadequate dissemination and promotion efforts. To promote widespread ICLS implementation, robust dissemination strategies are imperative, encompassing technical guidance, counseling, training, and on-farm demonstrations. In addition, policy support, including accessible credit and price incentives, is essential to incentivize farmers to embrace ICLS practices. This article underscores the relevance of circular economics within the context of integrated farming and provides insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to promote sustainable agriculture in Indonesia's post Green Revolution era.

Analisis Terhadap Etika Profesi Hukum Notaris Dalam Menjalankan Tugasnya Sebagai Pejabat Umum Dalam Pembuatan Akta Autentik

Notary is a public official who is trusted by the public in the authority to make authentic deeds. In exercising his authority as a legal profession, a notary must uphold legal ethics and the dignity and nobility of his position, because if this is ignored by the notary, it can cause harm to the parties and the notary himself. The problem of this research is how the authority of the notary profession as a public official in making authentic deeds, how sanctions are imposed on violations of the code of ethics of the notary profession. The purpose of this study is to determine and examine the authority of the notary profession as a public official in making authentic deeds and sanctions imposed on violations of the notary profession's code of ethics. Type of normative legal research. Secondary data research data obtained from legal materials. Data collection techniques library research techniques. Qualitative data analysis.

Levodopa-based device-aided therapies for the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease: a social return on investment analysis.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an incurable, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder. As PD advances and symptoms progress, patients become increasingly dependent on family and carers. Traditional cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) only consider patient and payer-related outcomes, failing to acknowledge impacts on families, carers, and broader society. This novel Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis aimed to evaluate the broader impact created by improving access to levodopa (LD) device-aided therapies (DATs) for people living with advanced PD (aPD) in Australia. A forecast SROI analysis over a three-year time horizon was conducted. People living with aPD and their families were recruited for qualitative interviews or a quantitative survey. Secondary research and clinical trial data was used to supplement the primary research. Outcomes were valued and assessed in a SROI value map in Microsoft Excel™. Financial proxies were assigned to each final outcome based on willingness-to-pay, economic valuation, and replacement value. Treatment cost inputs were sourced from Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule (PBS) and Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) published prices. Twenty-four interviews were conducted, and 55 survey responses were received. For every $1 invested in access to LD-based DATs in Australia, an estimated $1.79 of social value is created. Over 3 years, it was estimated $277.16 million will be invested and $406.77 million of social return will be created. This value is shared between people living with aPD (27%), their partners (22%), children (36%), and the Australian Government (15%). Most of the value created is social and emotional in nature, including reduced worry, increased connection to family and friends, and increased hope for the future. Investment in LD-based DATs is expected to generate a positive social return. Over 50% of the value is created for the partners and children of people living with aPD. This value would not be captured in traditional CEA. The SROI methodology highlights the importance of investing in aPD treatment, capturing the social value created by improved access to LD-based DATs.

The benefit of chart curation of electronic health record (EHR) data: Comparing data completeness between curated and structured data.

11165 Background: The main objective of an EHR is to effectively standardize clinical workflow. However, EHR data is also utilized extensively as secondary data for clinical research and quality improvement. Healthcare data exists in different forms such as paper, digital images, and notes, only some of which are recorded as structured data in the EHR. It is therefore essential to curate detailed information from unstructured data so that the patient’s journey can be understood in depth for research and quality studies. Methods: Patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) between 01-Jan-2020 and 31-Dec-2022 were identified from the Integra Connect PrecisionQ de-identified database of 3 million cancer patients across 500 sites of care across ~80% community oncology and ~20% academic practices. Manual curation was conducted for a sample of these patients and the fill rates of crucial elements were captured as part of this study. Results: A total of 13,763 mBC patients were identified during this study period. The availability of data for the different variables was assessed from structured data in 13,120 patients. Additional information was obtained by manual curation for 643 patients. Information on staging and grade were available for 62.8% in the structured data, while curation increased the availability of these details to 99.5% among those 643 patients. The fill rates for patients’ tumor size and nodal status, as defined by the T and N values, were found to be 99% in the curated data compared to 60% in the structured data. Similarly, the fill rates were more than 98% for estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptor by curation, while they were only approximately 65% in the structured data. HER2 low, HER2-ve, and HER2+ve status was identified in 8%, 45.2%, and 10.1% by structured data and in 57.1%, 84.1%, and 14.0%, respectively, by curated data. Furthermore, the fill rates via curation were 97.1% for HER2 immunohistochemistry tests compared to 49.0% for structured data, while the fill rates for in-situ hybridization (ISH) or fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) tests were 61.3% for curated data compared to 28.4% for structured data. This discrepancy is caused by the fact that IHC and FISH/ISH tests are primarily found only in PDF format. Conclusions: This study highlights the need for curation in order to maximize the utilization of EHR data for secondary research purposes and quality studies. Natural language processing and augmented curation methods can further enhance the quality of EHR data for secondary research.

REAL EARNINGS MANAGEMENT AND CASH HOLDING PERFORMANCE: AUDITOR INDUSTRY SPECIALIZATION AS MODERATING VARIABLE

This academic work intends to obtain empirical evidence about the signaling perspective on real earnings management to describe cash holdings. The theoretical contradictions of real earnings management reflect management's opportunistic attitude and optimistic attitude which signifies positive earnings. The research design is a quantitative study with a sample of 216 units of analysis. Secondary research data was obtained from the Indonesian stock exchange for 2019-2021. Multiple linear regression testing results prove that real earnings management gives a positive signal about cash holding. Auditor industry specialization which reflects audit quality is proven to strengthen the relationship between real earnings management and cash holding. This contributes to the realm of signal theory as an alternative explanation of the relationship between real earnings management and cash holding. In addition, the role of industry-specialized auditors is a driving force in strengthening positive signals that reflect alignment between management policies and cash-holding performance.

Second homes: from family project to tourist destination – planning and policy issues

ABSTRACT Second homes in Norway were traditionally dispersed within amenity-rich landscapes and natural environments. However, as the stock and demand for higher standards and contemporary infrastructure increased, awareness of extensive land use became more intrusive and triggered calls for national policy interventions to restrain and steer further development. This paper delves into the trajectory of second-home development in Norway over recent decades, specifically focusing on nine mountain villages. This paper is based on secondary research data spanning from 1970 to the present derived from national statistics, previous studies, documents and relevant literature and presents the following key findings: a) The emergence of new second homes is increasingly evident in well-established tourist destinations, evolving into full-fledged “mountain villages” and occurring in a limited, yet prominently visible number of locations; b) Rather than advocating for nationwide restrictions on second-home development and the construction justified with dense development in limited locations, a more effective approach involves placing greater emphasis on the local context resulting in more tailored developments to facilitate benefits while mitigating adverse impacts.

Membentuk Kesalehan Anak Sejak Dini dalam Keluarga Berdasarkan Perspektif Islam

In forming piety in children from an early age in the family according to an Islamic perspective, of course a set of references is needed as a basis for education. Children's education jurisprudence is part of the reference for educating children in the family according to an Islamic perspective so that they can form children's piety from an early age. This research method uses a type of qualitative research sourced from primary and secondary research data. The analysis used is descriptive in form which functions to determine the conclusion of the problem so that a theoretical building is created based on the problem being researched. From the results of this research, it was found that building piety in children from an early age according to an Islamic perspective is through understanding aspects of jurisprudence, morals, and how to interact with children ethically. Parents' piety in educating children is part of the determinant. How do parents protect children before or even after birth, train children from an early age so that children are obedient in worship, provide love and justice to children, and teach children to love the Koran.

ANALYZING REGULATORY REFORM IN FOREIGN INVESTMENT THROUGH THE OMNIBUS LAW DRAFT OF LAW

<p>Despite various controversies, the existence of the Omnibus Job Creation Law has resulted in the repeal of at least two regulations and amendments to at least 80 other laws. One of them is Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies (UUPT). The purpose of this research is to examine the concepts and problems contained in the Comprehensive Job Creation Law and their implications for the regulations and the basic concept of a limited liability company. This research is a normative (doctrinal) study of secondary literature research data consisting of primary and secondary legal materials.

The government is trying to harmonize the three laws so that in line as a result it can put a space for investors to open a business without the need for the risk of overlapping regulations & causing losses to investors.</p><p>Keywords: Omnibus Law; Legal Implications; Limited company;</p>

Are the stream macrobenthos impacted by the wastewater from rubber factories?

We assessed how the wastewater generated from raw rubber factories affected the water quality parameters and how such changes influenced the stream macrobenthic assemblages in some streams in the wet zone of Sri Lanka. For this assessment, water quality parameters viz. DO, COD, BOD5, conductivity, TDS, T, pH, and OMC in the sediment were measured, and the macrobenthic fauna were sampled during the dry season at six sampling sites established based on judgemental sampling technique viz. rubber factory wastewater effluent canal (site A), point of wastewater discharge in the stream (site B), 50 m upstream site from site B (site C), 50 m downstream site from site B (site D), 100 m downstream site from site B (site E), and 150 m downstream site from site B (site F) following standard field sampling techniques. Secondary research data (dry season) from two other streams subjected to rubber factory wastewater effluents, namely Rakwatte Ela (2001) and Gurugoda Oya (2011), were also used for this assessment. Results revealed that the COD, BOD5, OMC, conductivity, and TDS levels were elevated, and the DO level was reduced significantly in the highly polluted A and B sites in all three streams. Parallel to them, the macrobenthic diversity decreased significantly (p<0.5; ANOVA) at these two sites. However, the complete opposite was observed at the furthermost downstream site F, where the water quality parameters and the microbenthic composition became almost the same as that in the upstream control site C. It is evident that the changes made to the stream water quality and the macrobenthic assemblages by the rubber factory wastewater are never permanent and disappear within a relatively short stretch of 150 m along the streams, most probably due to the dilution of wastewater along the stream. The pollution-tolerant tubificids and chironomids were bioindicator candidates to detect such changes where they became highly abundant at the highly polluted wastewater effluent canal (i.e., Site A) and point of wastewater discharge in the stream (i.e. Site B), but their abundance gradually decreased along the downstream sites probably due to wastewater dilution by the fresh water supply from the stream.
