Women’s Leadership in Quality Management Development and Gender Equality within the Context of Nahdlatul Ulama Universities in Indonesia

To date, the women’s leadership in Indonesian Universities (Higher Education Institutions) is still far from equal. However, there is a new history in the placement of women’s leadership in the development of quality management at the Nahdlatul Ulama Universities (PTNU). Using an exploratory research method, this study aims to reveal the experiences of women leaders in the development of quality management and gender equality at PTNU. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews with 8 female leaders who held structural positions as Vice Rector, Chair of LPM, Dean, and Head of Undergraduate Program. The results of this study indicate the following 3 important points: (1) The experience of women's leadership at PTNU shows that women's leadership has gained important positions in structural positions because of (a) considerations of competence and performance, (b) the cooperative and patient attitude of female leaders which makes them to earn appreciation from all academicians, and (c) the track record of female leaders who have increasingly improved their leadership achievements in the development of quality management; (2) Supporting factors in women's leadership, influenced by support from colleagues and adequate facilities; and (3) Inhibiting factors for women's leadership in developing quality management are difficulties in dealing with different commitments from each employee, still limited competent human resources, and it is still difficult to cultivate quality. Meanwhile, the obstacles to the efforts in gender equality are the limited female human resources, the lack of willingness of women to become leaders, and overlapping jobs. Recommendations from the results of this study can be used as a basis for university leaders, especially PTNU in making policies in the domain of quality management and gender equality.

Preface

Annual International Conference (AIC) is hosted regularly by Institute of Research and CommunityServices (LPPM), Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia since 2011. Unfortunately, in 2020, the 10th AIC was held in virtual format through Zoom platform due to travel restrictions as an implication of global pandemic COVID-19. This conference was held in conjunction with the 12th IMT-GT UNINET Biosciences International Conference on 15-16 October 2020.All papers in this conference were submitted and double-blind reviewed by two independent reviewers through the Open Conference System (OCS) platform. In total, the committee has received 48 full papers, but there were only 38 papers accepted for presentation and publication. All presenters from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka were enthusiastic in attending the two-days conference so they could share their research findings internationally as well as providing their research output for their research funding.Under the theme of “Connecting the world through innovation and sustainable development”, the keynote speeches were delivered by Prof. Ian Singleton from Edinburgh Napier University, UK and Prof. Dr. Uda Bin Hashim from Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Malaysia in the first day. While Prof. Benoit Dayrat from Pennsylvania State University, USA; Assoc. Prof. Hiroshi Miyake from Kitasato University, Japan; Prof. Dato’ Dr. Aileen Tan Shau Hwai from Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia; and Assoc. Prof. Anchana Prathep from Prince Songkla University, Thailand gave their talks in the second day. The invited speech was delivered by Prof. Mohammad Basyuni, Ph.D from Universitas Sumatera Utara, Indonesia in the first day. Each keynote/invited speaker was given 30 minutes where the time was adapted with their origin time followed by questions and answers (Q&A) session.The opening ceremony, plenary session of the keynote and invited speakers, and the closing ceremony were held in the main room which was operated by Host. Presentation from the authors was conducted in two parallel sessions in seven breakout rooms where each breakout room had one co-host, one moderator, one oral presenter jury, and one organizing committee staff. Each presenter was allocated 15 minutes for oral presentation and Q&A. All sessions in this virtual conference were presented by Zoom. The links including username and ID meeting as well as breakout room code/name were sent to the corresponding author as soon as the author submitted the camera-ready manuscript. Five rooms in the UPT TIK Building, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia were also prepared for hosts, co-host, and moderators. These rooms were equipped with a set of mobile camera, headset, laptop, and LCD TV Display Monitor.The meeting by Zoom platform was operated by two methods where the host/co-host need to admit theparticipants so they can join either the main room or the breakout room or the participants can freely move in and out between the rooms. This conference implemented the first method in the first day and the second method in the second day. Each participant labelled their name with the breakout room code/name to simplify the work of host/co-host so the conference could run smoothly. Changing of sessions was also announced by MC and moderator as well as posted in the screen announcement.My sincere gratitude goes to Rector, Vice Rector, and Head of LPPM, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Indonesia for financial support and contribution. To all members of the organizing committees, the international scientific committees, the reviewers, the editors, the moderators, the student volunteers, and the collaboration partners (Universiti Sains Malaysia and Prince Songkla University), I would like to thank all of them for their tremendous efforts to organize this virtual conference successfully. I am hoping that the COVID-19 global pandemic will be over as soon as possible so this virtual conference will be the first and the last. Also, the networking among participants can be extended for future collaborations, not only in research but also in developing academic curriculum.Best regards, Dr. Dewi Yunita ChairpersonList of Advisory Board, Organizing Committee, Editorial Boards and this titles are available in this pdf.

PENERAPAN INTEGRASI ALKITAB: STUDI KASUS DI UNIVERSITAS PELITA HARAPAN

The application of Biblical integration is the core of Christian education. Universitas Pelita Harapan is one of many universities that has a Conservatory of Music, in the Faculty of Art, and commits to implement Christian education in its learning process. This study was conducted in January-April 2016 to know: 1) How Biblical integration is designed in Faculty’s core curriculum; 2) In what level Biblical integration is applied in Faculty lectures nowadays; 3) What are the challenges and obstacles faced by the lecturers while/want to apply Biblical Integration. With qualitative approach, data was collected by using interview, questionairre, documents, and observation. The subjects of this study were 1 Vice Rector, 1 Dean, 1 Head Study, 10 full time lecturers, and 40 students. The research shows that: 1) Biblical integration has not been designed in Faculty curriculum, especially in SAP; 2) The application of Biblical integration has not been done comprehensively; 3) Not only lecturers experience some difficulties to integrate the subject with the Bible in SAP, but also not all students in the Faculty are Christians.

Using medical comics to highlight medical humanities.

Studying medicine comprises the extensive acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes. However, humanism in medicine, which combines scientific knowledge and skills with respectful, compassionate care that is sensitive to the values, autonomy, and cultural backgrounds of patients and their families, is often neglected by teachers, physicians, medical students and the medical curricula. However, a humanistic approach is indispensable in the medical field. By creating a novel and remarkable initiative for the medical humanities, an attempt was made to increase the attention that is paid to this under-addressed topic and to stimulate debate. As an interdisciplinary multifaceted field, the medical humanities apply numerous approaches, one of which is medical comics. Graphic illustrations have the potential to address challenging situations within medical settings.1 They can be used to illustrate the different perspectives of patients, caregivers, relatives and the medical staff. Insightful comics prompt people to pause and reflect. An exhibition of 22 medical comics, named ‘Impression – Expression – Interaction', was displayed freely accessible at the Medical University of Vienna’s Lecture Center in Vienna General Hospital from October 2019 until January 2020. The artwork was supplemented by additional information, reflection-based tasks and recent publications. After overcoming initial reluctance towards the word ‘comics’, primarily associated with ‘fun’ and ‘humour’, support was offered by various executives (eg the Vice Rector for Teaching at the Medical University and the Director of the Vienna General Hospital). The artists were extremely cooperative and agreed to have their work exhibited. A professional graphic designer was commissioned to produce premium-quality panels and additional material (eg invitation posters and booklets), particularly as the first impression of a comic is very important as it stimulates introspection. In the exhibition area, visitors could provide prompt feedback via a tablet. Seventy-eight per cent of the respondents reported that the exhibition had introduced them to a new topic with which they were previously unfamiliar. More importantly, 84% indicated that they had acquired a new perspective on a familiar topic. On average, the exhibition was rated 5.34 (range 0–6, with 6 as the highest rating). Participants in the guided tour reported that the comics made it easier for them to approach challenging and painful topics, such as grief, death and excessive demands during night shifts. Positioned alongside the comics, an interactive zone invited visitors to provide their own drawings on different topics using prompts such as ‘What does pain look like?’. Their creations (165 contributions) were then displayed for viewing. The immensely positive feedback to this unique approach inspired the establishment to an ongoing three-year project—including an exhibition of medical comics every winter term starting in fall 2020 at the premises of Medical University in Vienna’s Lecture Center in the General Hospital. In addition, medical comics will now be integrated step-by-step in compulsory teaching units in different fields of study at the Medical University of Vienna. Cooperation with other universities and teaching institutions is planned.

Prof. Dimitar Hrisoho, Md, Phd, Founder of Nephrology in the R. N. Macedonia.

Prof. Dr. Dimitar T. Hrisoho was born on June 11, 1924 in Bitola, R. Macedonia. He died in Struga on September 22, 1986, and was buried in Skopje. He completed primary and secondary education in Bitola. He graduated from the Medical Faculty in Belgrade in 1951 as one of the best students of his generation (average grade of 9.75). In 1953 he was employed at the Internal Clinic of the Medical Faculty in Skopje, where in 1955 he passed the specialist exam in internal medicine. He successfully defended his habilitation "Polyarthritis chronica evolutiva" and his doctoral dissertation "Clinical features of Vitina nephropathy". The doctoral dissertation indicates that Vitina nephropathy is a new site of the Balkan Endemic Nephropathy entity and that more genetic testing of patients were needed. Based on numerous clinical and scientific researches published in over 200 papers, he was elected a Full Professor of internal medicine at the Medical Faculty of the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje in 1971. In 1970, he formed the nephrology section of the Macedonian Medical Association (MMA), which grew into the nephrology Association of MMA. Through the Association, the education of the medical staff from the field of nephrology was performed. He also set up a bio-cybernetics association. He achieved his vision and desire to transfer and apply the achievements of modern nephrology in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney patients in Macedonia at the Clinic of Nephrology of the Medical Faculty in Skopje, which was the first specialized institution established for examination and treatment of kidney patients in the former Yugoslavia and the Balkans. The Clinic educated nephrological staff and examined and treated kidney patients with new methods and drugs that positively affected the development of nephrology as a subspecialty of the internal medicine. D. Hrisoho was actively involved in the introduction of new methods for examination of kidney patients, as well as in the treatment of patients with acute and chronic renal insufficiency with dialysis since 1965. He also participated in the first two kidney transplantations from living donors performed in 1977. He wrote a chapter on "kidney examination", printed in the book of Prof. A. J. Ignjatovski "Fundamentals of Internal Propedeutics" Part III, published by "Prosvetno delo", 1963, in Skopje. This is the first text to investigate a patient with kidney disease published in a textbook in R. Macedonia. In 1984 he published the textbook "Clinical Nephrology" printed by the University of the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje. Prof. D. Hrisoho organized the First Scientific Meeting of Yugoslav Nephrologists with international participation, from 26 to 28 September 1977, in Struga, R. Macedonia. The meeting was attended by prominent nephrologists from the former Yugoslavia, the Balkans, Europe and the United States, among them: J.S. Cameron from UK, J.L. Funck-Brentano from France, M. Burg and P. Ivanovich from the USA, R. Kluthe from Germany and A. Puchlev from Bulgaria. The scientific meeting was the largest nephrology event until then organized in the former Yugoslavia. The meeting provided an exchange of experiences with world-renowned nephrologists. D. Hrisoho presented the paper Artificial intelligence in nephrology. The author tried to apply bio-cybernetics in nephrology. Prof. D. Hrisoho was Vice Dean of the Medical Faculty in Skopje in the period 1963-1965 and Vice Rector of the University of the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje in the period 1974-1975. Prof. Hrisoho was also active in socio-political organizations. For his medical, educational and scientific activities he received several awards and recognitions in the country and abroad. Thus, the work of Prof. D. Hrisoho was permanently embedded in the nephrology of R. Macedonia.

EXPLORING PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR LECTURER (PMSL): COMPARISON AMONG THREE MODELS IN INDONESIA, SINGAPORE AND TURKEY

This study aims at exploring the Performance Measurement System for Lecturer (PMSL) through a comparison study in three countries, namely Indonesia (MY), Singapore (IT), and Turkey (IMU). We uses multiple case study approach by conducting a comparative study. The data are obtained mainly using interview. Those lecturers assuming some offices and play some roles in formulating the lecturer performance policy are chosen to be this study’s informants, they are: Management and Organization Chair, Chairman of the university senate, Vice Rector for Academic Affair, and Member of Information Systems Audit Control. The results reveal that there are different PMSL patterns from the three research objects, i.e. MY (Indonesia), IT (Singapore) and IMU (Turkey). MY have fairly aggressive PMSL policy as compared to the other two campuses since they have to work harder to improve the performance of their lecturers who in this case have relatively lesser academic experiences at international level. MY reward special incentives for certain performance target and hold a science camp mentoring to improve their lecturers’ capabilities. Meanwhile, IT perform PMSL by classifying lecturer’s performance measurement into two tracks, namely teaching and research tracks. This makes lecturers more focused on and satisfied with their job, and eventually leads to an optimal performance level. Additionally, at IMU Turkey, to achieve lecturer optimal performance, the university prepares a policy related to three aspects: pedagogic (mentoring), knowledge management, and administration easiness. This research result is expected to give real contribution to the refinement of PMSL policy model at universities in Indonesia to allow it to trigger globally-competitive lecturer performance improvement (Global Achievement). This study explains how PMSL as a derivative of goal setting theory is effectively successfully implemented at a University in three different countries which in this case have different organizational cultures.

Exploring the Work of Artists and Activists to Translate Research into Action and Foster Public Space Culture

In November 2018 The Journal of Public Space published the special issue ‘Art and Activism in Public Space’, that was launched in Barcelona at RMIT Europe headquarters, during the SkypeLab Sympolab (http://www.skypelab.org/), and was introduced by Estanislau Roca Blanch, Vice Rector for Infrastructure and Architecture at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. The issue collected a selection of projects of invited artists and activists, from Italy, Spain, Germany, United States, South America, Africa and Australia, and was the result of a collaboration between City Space Architecture and RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. The issue received an overwhelming success: according to our data and statistics, it gave a significant boost to the journal, so we decided to start a series on this topic. The Journal of Public Space is interested to embed artists and activists’ research work in the discussion on public space, highlighting the importance of on-the-ground observations and human-oriented thinking for the future of cities.

Preface

Dear Rector and Vice Rector of Universitas Mercu Buana YogyakartaDear Speakers;1. Profesor Ben White from Erasmus University, Rotterdam-Netherland2. Dr. Rashidah Sukor from University Putra Malaysia3. Profesor Dr. Ir. Rindit Pambayun, MP from Universitas Sriwijaya-Indonesia4. Profesor Dr. Ir. Muhammad Maksum Macfoedz, from Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta-IndonesiaDear Invited GuestsDear sponsor and media partnerDear presenter and participantsAssalamu’alaikum wr.wbWelcome to Universitas Mercu Buana YogyakartaThank you, we pray for the presence of Allah SWT for permission so that the International Conference on Food Science and Technology (Foscitech) 2018 can be held today. This activity was also inseparable from the hard work and support of many parties, for that we as the committee gave an immeasurable thank you.The International Conference with the theme “Towards Food Security and Sustainable Based on Sustainable Agriculture and Local Wisdom” was based on our concern for our national food conditions today. Our country that has the potential for abundance of local food sources is still experiencing food dependence. Food imports are not only carried out on commodities that are not widely produced in the country, but also those that can be produced by our own farmers.We believe that trade liberalization has resulted in the food trade system which being controlled by the import cartel. while on the other hand the role of the state through Bulog is marginalized. The entry of food commodities is no longer based on national needs, but rather the maximum profit of food companies. Even the morality of our local food producers has declined because it is always overshadowed by the defeat of competing in the market.This International Conference is a contribution of Universitas Mercu Buana Yogyakarta to the government which makes food security and sovereignty the foremost agenda. We believe that food security and sovereignty based on sustainable agriculture and local wisdom is one of the answers to the realization of welfare and social justice for all Indonesian people, according to the mandate of the constitution and the ideals of the founding fathers of the nation.We hope that this conference can produce a formulation of the direction and strategy of social, political and economic transformation towards strengthening food security and sovereignty based on sustainable agriculture and local wisdom. Finally, have a great discussion to solve various food problems to then form a way out along with concrete actions in various fields to make changes. Hopefully what we produce together today will be one of the milestones of the realization of Indonesia’s better future.Best wishes,Prof. Dr. Chatarina Wariyah, M.P.(General Chair of FOSciTech 2018)
