Peran Stasiun Televisi dalam Pengembangan Demokrasi, Ekonomi dan Politik di Indonesia

Dewasa ini televisi, sebagai bagian dari komunikasi massa di asumsikan memegang posisi penting dalam masyarakat. Peranan penting televise telah menjadikan media ini berkembang pesat dalam 20 tahun ini. Televisi hadir sebagai alat sosial, politik, budaya, bahkan sebagai sebuah industri informasi dari sebuah perusahaan. Sebagai industri, televisi menjanjikan keuntungan cukup besar bagi pemiliknya, bersaing secara kompetitif.Kini televisi tidak lagi menjadi media yang berorientasi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat dalam hal informasi dan hiburan yang sehat, melainkan lebih dominan pada keuntungan ekonomi kapitalis, kekuatan pasar secara kompetitif. Dampaknya masyarakat ‘kering’ informasi yang ditampilkan secara both of side dan aktual. Pemberitaan media televisi dikemas sedemikian rupa dengan metode agenda setting. Hal ini menjadi dilematis tersendiri bagi para penggiat jurnalistik: antara publik atau kepentingan pemilik? Berita-berita yang disajikan dan ditayangkan oleh media televisi lebih berorientasi kepada pentingan pemilik, bukan kepentingan publik. Sementara itu, kapitalisasi dalam industri media televisi terus menggurita. Ada pemilik tunggal untuk beberapa stasiun televisi yang menyalahi regulasi dari penyiaran di Indonesia. Kendati sudah diatur sedemikian baiknya, namun konglomerasi dalam industri pertelevisian di Indonesia belum dibenahi. Politik dan ekonomi menjadi alasan utama sehingga regulasi penyiaran di Indonesia belum mampu diterapkan seperti di Eropa dan Amerika Serikat

Examining the Most Severe Logistics and Supply Chain Issues Experienced by Malaysian SMEs

Literature revealed that both the internal and external factors may result in business failure among Small and Medium Size Enterprise (SME). One of the external factors identified is non-availability or deficiency in logistics and supply chain operations. Thus, this study was conducted with the objective to identify the most severe logistics and supply chain issues faced by SMEs in Malaysia. Quantitative research design was employed, where data were collected through mail survey questionnaire. The frequency of respondents selecting 4 (Severe) and 5 (Very severe) for each survey item were calculated, in order to determine which issues are the most severe among Malaysian SMEs. The items are then ranked based on the highest number of respondents selecting 4 and 5. It provides more meaningful information on the most severe logistics and supply chain issues faced by SMEs, if compared to analysing the mean score of each item as the mean value may be distorted by high standard deviation. Findings indicate that difficulties and inaccuracies in forecasting inventory top the list, followed by inability to fulfil orders due to inventory shortages and keeping wrong mix of inventories. Thus, it can be concluded that inventory related issues are the most critical problems faced by Malaysian SMEs. This study contributes towards logistics and supply chain management literature as it provides an in depth information on the logistics and supply chain related issues faced by SMEs. For practitioners and the relevant government agency, this study sheds light on the most severe issues so that firms and government agency can focus their efforts on rectifying these severe logistics and supply chain issue

Moderating effect of logistics and supply chain issues on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation

Business expansion either locally or internationally is a vision of most firms, even for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). In order to achieve this market expansion, previous studies have identified the importance of market orientation towards superior firms’ performance. At the same time, firm-level market orientations are also important. However, the existence of logistics and supply chain issues such as transportation, packaging, documentation and warehousing are expected to thwart firms’ effort in establishing their market orientation. This study focuses on identifying the effect of logistics and supply chain related issues on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation among SMEs in Malaysia. The result indicates that logistics and supply chain issues moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation. However, the moderation effect is weak, based on the Cohen f2 effect size calculation. This study shows that logistics and supply chain issues do have some weak effect on the relationship between both variables. Thus, SME managers need to resolve any logistics and supply chain related issues experienced by the company in order to improve their market orientatio

Ginseng and ginkgo biloba effects on cognition as modulated by cardiovascular reactivity: a randomised trial

Background There is some evidence to suggest that ginseng and Ginkgo biloba can improve cognitive performance, however, very little is known about the mechanisms associated with such improvement. Here, we tested whether cardiovascular reactivity to a task is associated with cognitive improvement. Methodology/Principal findings Using a double-blind, placebo controlled, crossover design, participants (N = 24) received two doses of Panax Ginseng (500, 1000 mg) or Ginkgo Biloba (120, 240 mg) (N = 24), and underwent a series of cognitive tests while systolic, diastolic, and heart rate readings were taken. Ginkgo Biloba improved aspects of executive functioning (Stroop and Berg tasks) in females but not in males. Ginseng had no effect on cognition. Ginkgo biloba in females reversed the initial (i.e. placebo) increase in cardiovascular reactivity (systolic and diastolic readings increased compared to baseline) to cognitive tasks. This effect (reversal) was most notable after those tasks (Stroop and Iowa) that elicited the greatest cardiovascular reactivity during placebo. In males, although ginkgo also decreased cardiovascular readings, it did so from an initial (placebo) blunted response (i.e. decrease or no change from baseline) to cognitive tasks. Ginseng, on the contrary, increased cardiovascular readings compared to placebo. Conclusions/Significance These results suggest that cardiovascular reactivity may be a mechanism by which ginkgo but not ginseng, in females is associated with certain forms of cognitive improvement

Increasing frailty is associated with higher prevalence and reduced recognition of delirium in older hospitalised inpatients: results of a multi-centre study

Purpose Delirium is a neuropsychiatric disorder delineated by an acute change in cognition, attention, and consciousness. It is common, particularly in older adults, but poorly recognised. Frailty is the accumulation of deficits conferring an increased risk of adverse outcomes. We set out to determine how severity of frailty, as measured using the CFS, affected delirium rates, and recognition in hospitalised older people in the United Kingdom. Methods Adults over 65 years were included in an observational multi-centre audit across UK hospitals, two prospective rounds, and one retrospective note review. Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), delirium status, and 30-day outcomes were recorded. Results The overall prevalence of delirium was 16.3% (483). Patients with delirium were more frail than patients without delirium (median CFS 6 vs 4). The risk of delirium was greater with increasing frailty [OR 2.9 (1.8–4.6) in CFS 4 vs 1–3; OR 12.4 (6.2–24.5) in CFS 8 vs 1–3]. Higher CFS was associated with reduced recognition of delirium (OR of 0.7 (0.3–1.9) in CFS 4 compared to 0.2 (0.1–0.7) in CFS 8). These risks were both independent of age and dementia. Conclusion We have demonstrated an incremental increase in risk of delirium with increasing frailty. This has important clinical implications, suggesting that frailty may provide a more nuanced measure of vulnerability to delirium and poor outcomes. However, the most frail patients are least likely to have their delirium diagnosed and there is a significant lack of research into the underlying pathophysiology of both of these common geriatric syndromes

STUDI TINGKAT KESESUAIAN PEMBANGUNAN RUKO BERDASARKAN OPTIMALISASI FUNGSIONAL KEGIATAN RUKO (Studi Kasus : Kelurahan Sumbersari Kota Malang)

Hal yang menarik dari fenomena kemunculan ruko di Malang salah satunya adalah setelah kawasan ruko dibangun tidak secara langsung ruko tersebut berkembang. Jarak waktu antara perkembangan kegiatan di dalam ruko tersebut dari waktu selesainya bangunan ruko tidak kurang dari setengah sampai satu tahun. Dalam perkembangannya dominasi kegiatan yang ada di dalam ruko tersebut cenderung berbeda secara fungsional antara kawasan ruko yang satu dengan kawasan ruko yang lainnya, bahkan ada kawasan ruko yang cenderung tidak berkembang. Berdasarkan gambaran diatas, maka dibuatlah suatu penelitian yaitu "Studi Tingkat Kesesuaian Pembangunan Ruko Berdasarkan Optimalisasi Fungsional Kegiatan Ruko" dengan mengambil studi kasus Kelurahan Sumbersari sebagai obyek penelitian
