Evaluation of Network Station System Implementation (SSJ) in Indonesia

Abstract. Although it has been mandated in the Broadcasting Law Number 32of 2002, the implementation of the Network Station System (NSS) hasexperienced obstacles coming from national broadcasting industry players.Weak supervision has also been a great contribution to the lame implementationof NSS since it was ratified. The purpose of this study was to determine thedevelopment as well as implementation of the Network Station System (NSS)in Indonesia and to identify the obstacles might happened. This study uses aqualitative approach with descriptive methods. The informant of this researchare the Commissioner of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) andREMOTIVI, a NGO that advocate regulation on television media broadcasting.Data Collection Techniques: Interview, Observation, and Documentation. Inaddition to the weak regulation, economic interests are the main factor fromnational private television broadcasters not carried out the NSS according to thelaw. This situation ultimately cannot create diversity of ownership and diversityof content as expected. To encourage the implementation of SSJ, there must bea great political will and strict regulation applied from related parties inbroadcasting industry. Collective supervision from NGO and society also playvital role

Online Based Communication Model For Indonesian Migrant Workers In Hong Kong On Financial Management

Communication is an important factor for the existence of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) who work abroad. Based on the preliminary study, the communication conducted did not specifically discussing financial management. In fact, discussing financial management is very important for PMI to have a productive business so that it does not always work abroad. The purpose of this research is to explore PMI's online communication model with families in financial management. Qualitative research methods, descriptive nature. The informants were PMI who worked in Hong Kong and PMI's families in Lombok. Data collection with Interviews and FGD. Data Triangulation to BP2MI and KJRI Hong Kong. Results of the study: PMI communication patterns are carried out reciprocally, especially with family and colleagues. using WhatsApp. Communication is carried out periodically, especially during work holidays. The purpose of communication was to provide information about the conditions experienced by both PMI and their families. Communication messages talk about the financial needs of families but rarely talk about financial management for productive things. PMI's online-based communication model with families in financial management illustrates PMI and family communication ideally conveying messages on financial management for productive and savings businesses so that PMI has a productive business as a provision after not working abroad

Stopped-Flow Kinetic Study of Reduction of Ferric Maltol Complex by Ascorbate

Stopped-flow kinetic investigation of reduction of Fe(III)-maltol complex is reported. The rates are dependent on pH in a complex way. On one hand at low pH there is a predominance of Fe(III)(maltol)2 which is easier to reduce compared to Fe(III) (maltol)3 which is more resistant to reduction. On the other hand ascorbate is a stronger reducing agent at higher pH. The rates are also found to be inversely dependent on the concentration of free ligand. These observations are explained by the following rate law:Rate = ((k0 +k1[H+])k2 [Asc-]/ (k-1[HMal] + k2[Asc-])) + k3 [Asc-] ) [FeIII(Mal)3] Here k1 is the rate constant for acid hydrolysis of the Fe(maltol)3 complex to Fe(maltol)2 complex and is directly controlled by H+, k0 is the rate constant for hydrolysis of the Fe(maltol)3 complex to Fe(maltol)2 complex and is an intrinsic process, k-1 is the rate constant of reformation of the tris complex by reaction of the bis complex and the free ligand, k2 is the rate constant for reduction of the bis complex by ascorbate and k3 is the rate constant for the reduction of the tris complex by ascorbate

Consistency of Covid-19 Vaccination Policy in Efforts for Equality of Vaccine Administration

The handling of the COVID-19 pandemic has entered a new stage. Various policies and regulations in an effort to handle and break the chain of the spread of COVID-19 have been implemented by the government. These efforts include the PSBB policy, Transitional PSBB, PPKM, Micro PPKM, Emergency PPKM (Java-Bali) which had been implemented, Large- Scale Social Restrictions, Provision of activities that cause crowds, implementation of health protocols, and until now has entered the stage of policy regarding the COVID-19 vaccination. The vaccination policy has been contained in the Minister of Health Regulation Number 10 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Vaccination in the context of Combating the 2019 Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic. The result of this research is with reference to the Perpres and Permenkes and when viewed from the implementation variables proposed by the theory of George C. Edwards III, which states that the effectiveness of policy implementation can be seen from the four variables that support the implementation of policies, namely: Communication, Resources, Disposition, and Bureaucratic Structure. So by reviewing these variables, that the implementation of the policy of the implementation of vaccination in Indonesia has been running quite well, and there are still various obstacles found both in its implementation and in the communication of the policy, so that there are still various perspectives that cause debate with the implementation of the vaccine policy. So that the consistency of the government in efforts to provide equal distribution of vaccinations in Indonesia is still running consistently even though in some remote areas the system and reporting of data on the implementation of the vaccination is still unknown

Misuse of Islamic Charity for Terrorism in Indonesia: Modus, Countermeasures, and Challenges

Terrorists need money to fund their actions. Financing terrorism in the last two decades has become more complicated worldwide due to the involvement of individuals and networks, partly by misusing religious charity. This study seeks to raise their modus, government countermeasures and challenges in Indonesia. It used terrorist financing theories and a qualitative approach with multi-data collection methods. It found that in the last two decades, terrorist groups in Indonesia, including Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), Jemaah Ansharu Daulah (JAD), and Jemaah Ansharu Khilafah have misused Islamic charities for terrorism actions, including training, falsifying data, purchasing weapons and explosive material, and travelling to conflicting zones. They capitalized on Islamic narratives to cover their terror mission. The Indonesian government has taken strategies and measures to address terrorism financing, such as ratifying international regulations, making follow-up regulations, establishing taskforce and enforcing the laws, covering investigating leaders, arresting the suspecting leaders and freezing the organizations. However, government efforts still pose several challenges in terms of the sensitivity of the issue, the problems in finding proof, inadequate regulation, poor prevention measures and poor law enforcement in the social media

Ganjar Pranowo’s Storytelling and Political Image on Social Media

Politics is not socially empty. Therefore, politicians must also find the right strategy to increase popularity and electability. One way that can be used is the use of social media. Social media is now widely used by political actors as a means to absorb aspirations in the political field. One of the social media that is currently widely used as a political tool is TikTok. As of April 2022, there are 99,072,000 TikTok users in Indonesia or 51.1% of the Indonesian population aged 18 years and over. This article aimed to explore how Ganjar Pranowo built his self-image through his TikTok account @ganjarpranowofc and what storytelling strategies were used in that image. A qualitative approach with a content analysis method is used in writing this article. There are 252 videos from the TikTok account @ganjarpranowo were analyzed from January to May 2022. This article uses the political image category approach described in Liebhart and Bernhardt's research (2017) as a basis for analysis. From this research, Ganjar Pranowo simplifies political issues in his imagery efforts. In addition, there are indications of three storytelling strategies used in political imagery on the TikTok account: the biographical strategy, the incumbent strategy, and the Kagama chairman strategy

Effect of early tranexamic acid administration on mortality, hysterectomy, and other morbidities in women with post-partum haemorrhage (WOMAN): an international, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Background Post-partum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. Early administration of tranexamic acid reduces deaths due to bleeding in trauma patients. We aimed to assess the effects of early administration of tranexamic acid on death, hysterectomy, and other relevant outcomes in women with post-partum haemorrhage. Methods In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we recruited women aged 16 years and older with a clinical diagnosis of post-partum haemorrhage after a vaginal birth or caesarean section from 193 hospitals in 21 countries. We randomly assigned women to receive either 1 g intravenous tranexamic acid or matching placebo in addition to usual care. If bleeding continued after 30 min, or stopped and restarted within 24 h of the first dose, a second dose of 1 g of tranexamic acid or placebo could be given. Patients were assigned by selection of a numbered treatment pack from a box containing eight numbered packs that were identical apart from the pack number. Participants, care givers, and those assessing outcomes were masked to allocation. We originally planned to enrol 15 000 women with a composite primary endpoint of death from all-causes or hysterectomy within 42 days of giving birth. However, during the trial it became apparent that the decision to conduct a hysterectomy was often made at the same time as randomisation. Although tranexamic acid could influence the risk of death in these cases, it could not affect the risk of hysterectomy. We therefore increased the sample size from 15 000 to 20 000 women in order to estimate the effect of tranexamic acid on the risk of death from post-partum haemorrhage. All analyses were done on an intention-to-treat basis. This trial is registered with ISRCTN76912190 (Dec 8, 2008); ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00872469; and PACTR201007000192283. Findings Between March, 2010, and April, 2016, 20 060 women were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive tranexamic acid (n=10 051) or placebo (n=10 009), of whom 10 036 and 9985, respectively, were included in the analysis. Death due to bleeding was significantly reduced in women given tranexamic acid (155 [1·5%] of 10 036 patients vs 191 [1·9%] of 9985 in the placebo group, risk ratio [RR] 0·81, 95% CI 0·65–1·00; p=0·045), especially in women given treatment within 3 h of giving birth (89 [1·2%] in the tranexamic acid group vs 127 [1·7%] in the placebo group, RR 0·69, 95% CI 0·52–0·91; p=0·008). All other causes of death did not differ significantly by group. Hysterectomy was not reduced with tranexamic acid (358 [3·6%] patients in the tranexamic acid group vs 351 [3·5%] in the placebo group, RR 1·02, 95% CI 0·88–1·07; p=0·84). The composite primary endpoint of death from all causes or hysterectomy was not reduced with tranexamic acid (534 [5·3%] deaths or hysterectomies in the tranexamic acid group vs 546 [5·5%] in the placebo group, RR 0·97, 95% CI 0·87-1·09; p=0·65). Adverse events (including thromboembolic events) did not differ significantly in the tranexamic acid versus placebo group. Interpretation Tranexamic acid reduces death due to bleeding in women with post-partum haemorrhage with no adverse effects. When used as a treatment for postpartum haemorrhage, tranexamic acid should be given as soon as possible after bleeding onset.

Elective cancer surgery in COVID-19-free surgical pathways during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: An international, multicenter, comparative cohort study

PURPOSE As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19–free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2. Participating hospitals included patients from local emergence of SARS-CoV-2 until April 19, 2020. At the time of surgery, hospitals were defined as having a COVID-19–free surgical pathway (complete segregation of the operating theater, critical care, and inpatient ward areas) or no defined pathway (incomplete or no segregation, areas shared with patients with COVID-19). The primary outcome was 30-day postoperative pulmonary complications (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, unexpected ventilation). RESULTS Of 9,171 patients from 447 hospitals in 55 countries, 2,481 were operated on in COVID-19–free surgical pathways. Patients who underwent surgery within COVID-19–free surgical pathways were younger with fewer comorbidities than those in hospitals with no defined pathway but with similar proportions of major surgery. After adjustment, pulmonary complication rates were lower with COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.2% v 4.9%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.86). This was consistent in sensitivity analyses for low-risk patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 1/2), propensity score–matched models, and patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 preoperative tests. The postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection rate was also lower in COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.1% v 3.6%; aOR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.76). CONCLUSION Within available resources, dedicated COVID-19–free surgical pathways should be established to provide safe elective cancer surgery during current and before future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks
