Blood type examination of Cigentur community as efforts to realize community care for health

Counseling and early examination of blood type to the community at Cigentur village has not been done before. Blood transfusion from incompatible types can cause immunological transfusion reactions and clinical aspects such as the incompatibility of the blood type systems ABO. The community engagement method consists of direct information to the community by visiting every communities house (door to door). Besides, the engagement was also carried out quietly, namely, the residents came to the post directly located at the Wiswa Anak Yatim Piatu, At-Taqwa. After conducting a health test, people who provide personal information from the results of their blood tests. In addition to identifying blood types, this activity provides more knowledge about the health of each that is related to the utilization that has been identified by the group. The results of this activity can be in the form of initial information to determine the policies of each community in carrying out social activities such as blood transfusion. The types of rhesus tests from the communityof Cigentur must be done for information about blood type identification are complete

Global expansion of emerging market multinational corporations: international political economy perspective—case study: PT Semen Indonesia

Until relatively recently, multinational corporations from emerging markets (EMMNCs) were minor contributors to the global stock of foreign direct investment (FDI). This research seeks to understand the significant expansion of EMMNCs in the past two decades, using PT Semen Indonesia as a case study. This research is particularly important in highlighting the developmental state model's persistence in Southeast Asia. The state continues to play a directive role in the design of structure, strategies and targets by adjusting to new global and regional economic challenges and opportunities for Indonesia's state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The political economy of Indonesia's industrial policy reflects the efforts of successive presidents and their advisors to encourage national economic development by finding a workable formula to balance often-competing economic pressures-from global institutions and economic powers to domestic business and political constituencies. A qualitative case study was the methodology used to examine the trends and tensions of PT Semen Indonesia's growth and its internationalisation. As a case study, PT Semen Indonesia was analysed from an international, political and economic perspective. Research findings indicate that the expansion of PT Semen Indonesia reflects key aspects of the developmental state model. The expansion was influenced by national priorities, and the institutional arrangements between the Indonesian state and PT Semen reveal the strategic importance of the cement industry for the state, which retains a decisive shareholding in the company. This thesis contends that the intricate relationship between the Indonesian state and PT Semen exemplifies the persistence of various elements of the developmental state, despite the adoption of a privatisation agenda in the wake of the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis. However, this thesis concludes that the internationalisation of PT Semen, as the first Indonesian multinational corporation (MNC) SOE, was primarily driven by commercial pragmatism that reached the government target on infrastructure and good economic factors, such as rapid economic growth and the ASEAN Economic Community. The company's growth and maturation correspond to the dominant model of EMMNCs in terms of ownership, weak institutionalisation, business capacity, market seeking motivation and preference for horizontal FDI. The latter preference is exemplified by PT Semen's acquisition of Thang Long Cement in Vietnam

Research Participatory Action On Management Of Child Friendly Mosque In North Sumatera

The issue of child-friendly mosques is crucial when the phenomenon of the problem of violence against children emerges. Violence against children not only occurs in the household, school, but also various places, in cities, and villages, even in the mosques. The concept program of child-friendly mosque capacity building for BKM in Perumnas Simalingkar Village, Pancurbatu sub-district, carried out with Participatory Action Research approach. The mentoring strategies used in this study are three strategies, are, raising awareness, building commitment and capacity as well as participating groups and stakeholders. The findings of this study indicate that the critical thing to note in the problem identification process is the tendency to look at the socio-religious issues that exist at the site. From extracting the information facilitated by the Research Team, almost all participants directed the problem that was not directly related to the management of child-friendly mosques. In the activity of extracting opinions on actions and important steps carried out in the framework of managing child-friendly mosques in Simalingkar Housing, there seems to be a strong tendency to answer religious issues which emphasize increasing education and spiritual knowledge among the community, especially children and adolescent

How politicisation of the military affected the Indonesian Military Operations during the Indonesian-Malaysian Konfrontasi, 1963-67

This dissertation addressed the lack of interdisciplinary research and understanding about the Indonesian military operations during the IndonesiaMalaysia Konfrontasi, 1963-67. It examined how use of interdisciplinary research can address way that politicisation of the ABRI might have affected the implementation of the operations. This qualitative study emphasised two aspects, namely, process of politicisation of the military and political behaviour in organisations. Indeed, the existing literature of political behaviour in organisations remained predominantly focused on private organisations. But, this dissertation argued that study of political behaviour in organisations theory is beneficial to assist the scrutiny of political behaviour in military organisation. The research methodology consisted of archival research, interviews and secondary sources. To be more specific, the research adapted explaining outcome process tracing and time series analysis technique to develop valid interpretation. The study finds that political behaviour in the ABRI contributes to the failure of Dwikora Operation, as hypothesised. The policy of Konfrontasi has substantively boosted the politicisation of the ABRI. This can be seen in the diversity of key military actors’ motives toward the policy. In particular, the 30 September Movement Affair has significantly changed the behavioural repertoire. Based on these findings, political behaviour in the ABRI toward the Konfrontasi generated both dysfunctional and functional individual, organisational and national consequences. Although, the main focus of the research is the Indonesian military operation during the Konfrontasi, the implications for certain civil-military relation theory and recommendations for future research were discussed

Labour law and development in Indonesia

  This book is about the creation and enforcement of labour law in Indonesia, a topic that reflects the broader processes of social and political change in the country. Its starting point is the notion of the trade union as a crucial institution in any modern industrial capitalist society, with the potential of promoting some measure of equity and social justice in society. The book discusses three case-studies relating to three major pieces of labour legislation enacted since the Reformasi of 1998 in Indonesia. The first is about trade union legislation, the second about minimum wage policy, and the third about the Industrial Relations Court. These cases show how labour law in Indonesia is best understood as the result of the struggles between different social groups and competing ideologies, which change over time. The author argues that despite all the problems and challenges there remains hope for the development of a sound and effective labour law in Indonesia. This is due in particular to the development of the trade union movement in the country. Unions form a countervailing power against capital and corporate power, and may thus ensure that the results of development are redistributed fairly throughout society. They are also agents of education: their efforts to develop new labour laws and enforce labour standards make workers aware of their rights and may even help in developing a higher degree of rights-consciousness in society more generally.

Housing quality and lost (public) space in Croatia

IN ENGLISH: In the post-socialist period and within the current social transition context, urban and rural Croatia has, just like other transition countries, experienced many changes in the social structure and space. One example is the housing quality which is a replica of the situation in the Croatian society and has also undergone some major changes. Socially oriented housing construction co-financed by the state and the cities is in an unfavourable position compared to private housing construction. In the last twenty years the amount of the social housing construction has been only a minor part of the total contruction work in the country. For instance, out of nine newly planned residential housing developments in Zagreb, the capital city, only three have been completed and the work on the rest of them has stopped and is unlikely to continue. Private construction work prevails especially on the edge of the city and is characterised by high density housing. This type of housing construction doesn't benefit the majority of citizens in search of accommodation (price per square meter is too high, low-quality building). There is also a big problem of the community facilities (primary and secondary infrastructure, schools, kindergartens, playgrounds, green areas, sidewalks, public transport etc.). The existing globalisation-transition circumstances of the Croatian society corroborate the fact which experts of various profiles often point out: ignoring the process of (urban) planning will irreparably damage the space. The city transformation shows the absence of comprehensive urban planning which results in an ever increasing number of random buildings which do not fit in the surroundings. This leads up to yet another important issue – the shrinking and, in some cases, disappearance of public space which becomes the “lost space“. In recent years there has been a lot of building in the city core and on the edge which does not quite fit in the existing urban structure, image or the skyline of the city. The current situation in the process of planning can be characterized as a conflict and imbalance between the powerful actors (mostly political and economic) and less powerful actors (mostly professional and civil). The actors who have the political power and influence and the ones who possess the capital are forming an “alliance” between two important layers of the social structure. The lack of civil and professional actors, “lost spatial actors”, and therefore of civic aggregation is also present and that is also the cause of public space “disappearance” and undermined process of public participation. --------------- IN CROATIAN: U postsocijalističkom razdoblju i trenutnom tranzicijskom kontekstu urbana i ruralna Hrvatska su, kao i ostale tranzicijske zemlje, doživjele mnoge promjene u društvenoj strukturi i samom prostoru. Na primjeru kvalitete stanovanja kao replike stanja u hrvatskom društvu mogu se vidjeti značajne promjene. Društveno usmjerena stambena izgradnja sufinancirana od strane države i gradova je stoga rjeđa i u nepovoljnijoj je situaciji prema privatnoj stanogradnji. Zadnjih dvadeset godina udjel socijalne stambene gradnje je zanemariv u ukupnoj izgradnji na razini zemlje. Primjerice, od devet planiranih stambenih naselja izgrađenih po modelu POS-a u Zagrebu samo su tri i završena. Na ostalima je proces gradnje zastao i ne čini se da će se privesti kraju. Privatna je gradnje prisutnija, posebno na rubovima grada, a obilježava je visoka gustoća gradnje. Ovakav tip gradnje ne odgovara većini stanovnika koji su u procesu potražnje stambene nekretnine (visoka cijena kvadratnog metra, a slaba kvaliteta gradnje). Postoji također i problem nedostatne opremljenosti susjedstva (primarna i sekundarna infrastruktura, škole, vrtići, igrališta, zelene površine, pješačke staze, javni transport itd.). Navedene globalizacijsko-tranzicijske okolnosti hrvatskog društva potvrđuju ono što eksperti različitih profila ističu, a to je da će ignoriranje procesa (urbanog) planiranja nepovratno uništiti prostor gradova. Ovakve transformacije pokazuju nedostatak sustavnog urbanog planiranja što rezultira sve većim brojem zgrada koje se ne uklapaju u neposrednu okolinu. To nadalje dovodi do drugog važnog aspekta – smanjivanja i u nekim slučajevima, nestanka javnog prostora koji postaje „izgubljeni prostor“. Posljednjih je godina izgrađen velik broj zgrada, i u središtu i na rubovima grada, koje se ne uklapaju u postojeću urbanu strukturu, izgled ili vizuru grada. Ovakvu situaciju obilježavaju sukob i neravnoteža između moćnijih društvenih aktera (većinom političkih i ekonomskih) i onih manje moćnih (većinom profesionalnih i civilnih). Politički i ekonomski akteri se često povezuju u „savez“ dvaju najjačih u društvenoj strukturi. S druge strane nedostatak utjecaja civilnih i profesionalnih aktera kao „izgubljenih prostornih aktera“ dovodi do „nestanka“ javnih prostora te smanjenja važnosti procesa participacije (sudjelovanja javnosti)
