Preservation of Indigenous Culture among Indigenous Migrants through Social Media: The Igorot Peoples

The value and relevance of indigenous knowledge towards sustainability of human societies drives for its preservation. This work explored the use of Facebook groups to promote indigenous knowledge among Igorot peoples in the diaspora. The virtual communities help intensify the connection of Igorot migrants to their traditional culture despite the challenges of assimilation to a different society. A survey of posts on 20 Facebook groups identified and classified the indigenous cultural elements conveyed through social media. A subsequent survey of 56 Igorot migrants revealed that popular social media has a significant role in the exchange, revitalization, practice, and learning of indigenous culture; inciting an effective medium to leverage preservation strategies

ROLE IN MEETING THE NEEDS OF MOTHER ON CHILD DEVELOPMENT PRESCHOOLERS

Development refers to changing pattern which begins in early stage of growth and  continues throughout the life span. The lack of mother’s role on children basic needs fulfilment have adverse effects to children development. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between mother’s role on children basic needs’ fulfilment toward preschoolers’ development aged 3-6 years old on Baptist Kediri Setia Bakti Kindergarten. The design was Analytical Correlational. The respondents were children aged 3-6 years old and their mothers, using Purposive Sampling Technique, it was obtained 65 respondents. The independent variable was mother’s role on children basic needs’ fulfilment while the dependent variable was preschoolers’ development. The preschoolers’ development consists of fine motoric development, gross motoric, language, social and personal. The data were collected using questionnaires (mother’s role) and DDST (children development). Further, those were analyzed using Spearman Rho Test with significance level α <0.05. The results showed fine motoric development p= 0.001 with coefficient correlation 0.406, gross motoric development p= 0.007 with coefficient correlation of 0.331, language development 0.369 with coefficient correlation of 0.113, social personal development p= 0.001 with coefficient correlation 0.400.  In conclusion, mother’s role on children basic needs’ fulfilment had correlation showed fine motoric, gross motoric development, and social personal development toward preschoolers’ development aged 3-6 years old on Baptist Kediri Setia Bakti Kidergarten

The Experience of the Dani Tribe in the Treatment of ARI in Toddlers at The Sinak Health Center, Puncak Regency

Background: The prevalence of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) in Puncak Regency is 8.35% and many people treat ARI with traditional medicine. Objectives: This study aims to determine the experience of the Dani family in the treatment of toddler respiratory infections at the Sinak Health Center, Puncak Regency. Methods: The method used in this study was qualitative with a phenomenological research approach with informants consisting of 12 residents who had toddlers who were exposed to ARI and who had experience handling ARI in toddlers. Result: The results of the study found that traditional medicine was the first treatment for participants when their toddler suddenly got sick, by rubbing eucalyptus oil or taking it to a masseuse. If the traditional treatment doesn't work, then the family takes the toddler for treatment to the Public Health Center to get medicine from a health worker

What if I Get Busted? Deception, Choice, and Decision-Making in Social Interaction

Deception is an essentially social act, yet little is known about how social consequences affect the decision to deceive. In this study, participants played a computerized game of deception without constraints on whether or when to attempt to deceive their opponent. Participants were questioned by an opponent outside the scanner about their knowledge of the content of a display. Importantly, questions were posed so that, in some conditions, it was possible to be deceptive, while in other conditions it was not. To simulate a realistic interaction, participants could be confronted about their claims by the opponent. This design, therefore, creates a context in which a deceptive participant runs the risk of being punished if their deception is detected. Our results show that participants were slower to give honest than to give deceptive responses when they knew more about the display and could use this knowledge for their own benefit. The condition in which confrontation was not possible was associated with increased activity in subgenual anterior cingulate cortex. The processing of a question which allows a deceptive response was associated with activation in right caudate and inferior frontal gyrus. Our findings suggest the decision to deceive is affected by the potential risk of social confrontation rather than the claim itself

Agnosia for accents in primary progressive aphasia.

As an example of complex auditory signal processing, the analysis of accented speech is potentially vulnerable in the progressive aphasias. However, the brain basis of accent processing and the effects of neurodegenerative disease on this processing are not well understood. Here we undertook a detailed neuropsychological study of a patient, AA with progressive nonfluent aphasia, in whom agnosia for accents was a prominent clinical feature. We designed a battery to assess AA's ability to process accents in relation to other complex auditory signals. AA's performance was compared with a cohort of 12 healthy age and gender matched control participants and with a second patient, PA, who had semantic dementia with phonagnosia and prosopagnosia but no reported difficulties with accent processing. Relative to healthy controls, the patients showed distinct profiles of accent agnosia. AA showed markedly impaired ability to distinguish change in an individual's accent despite being able to discriminate phonemes and voices (apperceptive accent agnosia); and in addition, a severe deficit of accent identification. In contrast, PA was able to perceive changes in accents, phonemes and voices normally, but showed a relatively mild deficit of accent identification (associative accent agnosia). Both patients showed deficits of voice and environmental sound identification, however PA showed an additional deficit of face identification whereas AA was able to identify (though not name) faces normally. These profiles suggest that AA has conjoint (or interacting) deficits involving both apperceptive and semantic processing of accents, while PA has a primary semantic (associative) deficit affecting accents along with other kinds of auditory objects and extending beyond the auditory modality. Brain MRI revealed left peri-Sylvian atrophy in case AA and relatively focal asymmetric (predominantly right sided) temporal lobe atrophy in case PA. These cases provide further evidence for the fractionation of brain mechanisms for complex sound analysis, and for the stratification of progressive aphasia syndromes according to the signature of nonverbal auditory deficits they produce
