PENERIMAAN DIRI SESEORANG SEBAGAI ORANG DENGAN HIV/AIDS (ODHA) DI MALANG (Study Di Yayasan Cahaya Kasih Peduli WPA Turen)

People with HIV/AIDS self-acceptance of their status is a complex problem for people with HIV/AIDS. One of the problems of people living with HIV/AIDS in self-acceptance occurs at the Cahaya Kasih Care Foundation WPA Turen. In the process of self-acceptance, people with HIV/AIDS often experience problems. This study aims to describe the problems experienced by people with HIV/AIDS and the process of people with HIV/AIDS in accepting their status. This study uses a qualitative approach and a case study type of research. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subject determination technique used was purposive sampling from Sugiyono. While the data validity technique used is a credibility test. The results of the study show that in self-acceptance people with HIV/AIDS experience psychological, physical and social problems. Meanwhile, in the process of self-acceptance of people living with HIV/AIDS, they experience the following stages: aversion, curiosity, tolerance, allowing, friendship/awakening

Collection of anthropometry from older and physically impaired persons: traditional methods versus TC2 3-D body scanner

With advances in technology it is now possible to collect a wide range of anthropometric data, to a high degree of accuracy, using 3D light-based body scanners. This gives the potential to speed up the collection of anthropometric data for design purposes, to decrease processing time and data input required, and to reduce error due to inaccuracy of measurements taken using more traditional methods and equipment (anthropometer, stadiometer and sitting height table). However, when the data collection concerns older and/or physically impaired people there are serious issues for consideration when deciding on the best method to collect anthropometry. This paper discusses the issues arising when collecting data using both traditional methods of data collection and a first use by the experimental team of the TC2 3D body scanner, when faced with a ‘non-standard’ sample, during an EPSRC funded research project into issues surrounding transport usage by older and physically impaired people. Relevance to industry: Designing products, environments and services so that the increasing ageing population, as well as the physically impaired, can use them increases the potential market. To do this, up-to-date and relevant anthropometry is often needed. 3D light-based bodyscanners offer a potential fast way of obtaining this data, and this paper discusses some of the issues with using one scanner with older and disabled people

Anonymity in giving in a natural context : an economic field experiment in thirty churches

The role of anonymity in giving is examined in a field experiment performed in thirty Dutch churches. For a period of 29 weeks, the means by which offerings are gathered is determined by chance, prescribing for each offering the use of either `closed' collection bags or open collection baskets. When using baskets, attendants' contributions can be identified by their direct neighbors, and attendants can observe the total amount given by the people who preceded them. Initially, contributions to the services' second offerings increase by 10% when baskets are used, whereas no effect is found for first offerings. The positive effect of using baskets peters out over the experimental period. Additional data on the coins collected show that in both offerings, people switch to giving larger coins when baskets are used.

Assistive translation technology for deaf people: translating into and animating Irish sign language

Machine Translation (MT) for sign languages (SLs) can facilitate communication between Deaf and hearing people by translating information into the native and preferred language of the individuals. In this paper, we discuss automatic translation from English to Irish SL (ISL) in the domain of airport information. We describe our data collection processes and the architecture of the MaTrEx system used for our translation work. This is followed by an outline of the additional animation phase that transforms the translated output into animated ISL. Through a set of experiments, evaluated both automatically and manually, we show that MT has the potential to assist Deaf people by providing information in their first language

A methodology for collecting valid software engineering data

An effective data collection method for evaluating software development methodologies and for studying the software development process is described. The method uses goal-directed data collection to evaluate methodologies with respect to the claims made for them. Such claims are used as a basis for defining the goals of the data collection, establishing a list of questions of interest to be answered by data analysis, defining a set of data categorization schemes, and designing a data collection form. The data to be collected are based on the changes made to the software during development, and are obtained when the changes are made. To insure accuracy of the data, validation is performed concurrently with software development and data collection. Validation is based on interviews with those people supplying the data. Results from using the methodology show that data validation is a necessary part of change data collection. Without it, as much as 50% of the data may be erroneous. Feasibility of the data collection methodology was demonstrated by applying it to five different projects in two different environments. The application showed that the methodology was both feasible and useful

Anthropometrics without numbers!

(Anthropometrics without Numbers! An Investigation of Designers' Use and Preference of People Data By Nickpour F and Dong H) There is still missing knowledge to encourage and support designers in adoption and implementation of inclusive design. Some of this missing knowledge comes in the form of anthropometric data which provides accessible information on users' capabilities and limitations. Support and resources for designers on this type of data seems to be limited and exclusive. This study focuses on evaluating the existing use of anthropometric data by professional designers, aiming to explore means of presenting such data more effectively. Ten UK-based design consultancies were interviewed and completed questionnaires collecting information on designer’s current use of anthropometric data, their suggestions on presentation of that data and their preferences on data tools. It is concluded that the use of anthropometric data sources by designers is very limited and minimal; experienced designers tend to rely mainly on experimental methods such as physical prototyping and engagement with people. The results provide insights into designers' existing approaches to data collection and use. This study highlights the need for development of a highly visual, simple and intuitive data tool based on the interviewed designers’ preferences and suggestions. This has to be done by carefully adopting the designers’ existing approaches to data collection and use and by adapting existing data into that

The emerging of employment gap in the Malaysian construction industry

Employment of young people is a big issue in the Malaysian construction industry. This is a common phenomenon not only in Malaysia but affected most developed and developing countries around the world. Sufficient workers are needed to cater to the robustness of the construction sector and to sustain the productivity that will boost the development demand. However, young people had difficulties to find decent employment in this industry due to lack of experience and skills among young people and some employer are more likely to hire foreign workers. The aim of this study is to examine the emerging of skill gaps in the Malaysian construction industry. The methodology adapted for this study comprise of primary and secondary data collection. The primary data had been collected from the questionnaire surveys on the professional within the construction industry. The data then were analyzed using the percentage score and the diagram such as bar chart had been used to visualize the results from the analysis. While, secondary data collected through literature review to gather information and important views from previous studies. The findings reveal that the construction industry prefer more than 30 years old skilled workers. Eventhough, the jobs could be filled by young people, but somehow, some barriers such as high risk, low wages, hard work and availability of foreign workers had distracted the involvement of young people in the construction industry

PENDAMPINGAN KELEMBAGAAN DESA DALAM PERBAIKAN DATA PENERIMA BANTUAN COVID-19 DI PEKON KOTABATU TANGGAMUS

The government's efforts to cope with the economic impact of a pandemic COVID-19 by way of giving social assistance to vulnerable populations were not going well and create new problems in the village. Kotabatu Village, Kotaagung Sub-district as a service partner has experienced various problems related to this, including many people who complain that they do not receive assistance, even though the economy is in bad shape due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After being traced, the data collection system for people who received assistance from the impact of COVID-19 was limited by a fast time. The irregularity of target recipients is also caused by the population data collection information system which still uses a manual system. As a result, it creates several obstacles for partners in the process of managing and processing population data, especially related to data mismatches. Constraints often occur especially during the data collection process Kotabatu villagers by members of the family, people moved, people died, people came, people were born, and the manufacture of letter testimony population. The solution to dealing with the problem of irregularity in targeting aid recipients in Kotabatu Village, by assisting partners in carrying out a data improvement system for COVID-19 beneficiaries, this is important considering the poor data collection system has a negative impact on the community and social assistance recipients affected by COVID-19 in Kotabatu village. The outputs of this service are activity videos, the journal Martabe (Journal of Community Service index sinta 4) which will be published in 2021 and articles that will be presented at the Unila LPPM scientific meeting
