The Role of Paguyuban in Rural Development

Balikpapan merupakan daerah dengan masyarakat yang multietnik. Konsekuensi dari masyarakat beragam tersebut tentunya berdampak pada cukup banyak muculnya paguyuban etnis. Masingmasing paguyuban etnis ini memiliki norma dan nilai yang mempengaruhi individu dalam berprilaku dan mengambil keputusan. Oleh sebab itu penting untuk melihat bagaimana pengaruh paguyuban etnis dalam mendorong terbentuknya pilarisasi masyarakat dan dampaknya pada pembangunan desa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Dengan demikian penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dekriptif dan eksplorasi. Kehadiran paguyuban pada dasarnya memperkuat identitas etnik dan mendorong terjadinya pilarisasi masyarakat. Selain itu paguyuban etnis juga mendorong pembangunan kawasan desa melalui elit-elit yang tergabung di paguyuban tersebut untuk kepentingan etnisnya dan menjadi sarana pengaman bagi masyarakat miskin yang tidak bisa menerima manfaat langsung dari pembangunan kawasan tersebut

Conceptualizing a Hybrid Framework to Help Improve Gender Outcomes in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Programs in India

Developing and managing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs in a sustainable manner contributes to gender equity by improving men’s and women’s access to services and benefits. A gender-sensitive approach to ensure equity in WASH programs can achieve positive outcomes including participatory decision making, empowerment of women, and sustainable programs. Gender analysis frameworks have a long history in development practice to guide strengthened gender outcomes, and opportunities exist to learn from such frameworks to support implementation of WASH programs in developing countries, including India. This paper reviews seven well-established gender analysis frameworks from the Indian WASH context vis-à-vis six key categories, viewed as critical components to gender outcomes and vital to the sustained success of WASH programs, to develop an improved compilation, referred to as the hybrid framework. The hybrid framework combines the strengths of the seven previously established frameworks for optimizing gender outcomes and aims to identify the opportunities for both men and women to shape WASH programs to meet their intended gender and equity objectives. Lastly, this newly developed framework provides a potential platform for local-level processes to use a comprehensive set of quantitative and qualitative indicators under each of the developed six categories provided further field testing and appropriate modification

Gene variants with suicidal risk in a sample of subjects with chronic migraine and affective temperamental dysregulation

BACKGROUND: Risk factors for suicide are at least partially heritable and functional polymorphisms of targeted genes have been suggested to be implicated in the pathogenesis of this phenomenon. However, other studies examining the association between specific gene variants and suicide revealed inconsistent findings. We aims to evaluate the possible association between MAO-A3, CYP1A2*1F and GNB3 gene variants, hopelessness and suicidal risk in a sample of subjects with chronic migraine and affective temperamental dysregulation. METHODS: 56 women were genotyped for MAO-A3, CYP1A2*1F and GNB3 gene variants. Participants were also assessed using Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), the Temperament Evaluation of the Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego-Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A), and the Suicidal History Self-Rating Screening Scale (SHSS). RESULTS: Patients with higher total scores on affective dysregulated temperaments are more likely to have higher BHS (11.27 +/- 5.54 vs. 5.73 +/- 3.81; t19.20 = -3.57; p = 9 indicating high levels of hopelessness. No association was found between MAO-A3, CYP1A2*1F and GNB3 gene variants and suicidal risk as assessed by BHS and SHSS. CONCLUSIONS: This study did not sustain the association between MAO-A3, CYP1A2*1F and GNB3 gene variants and increased suicidal risk in patients with chronic migraine and affective temperamental dysregulation. Further studies investigating the gene-environment interaction or focusing on other genetic risk factors involved in suicidal behaviour are needed
