Perancangan Film Dokumenter Berjudul Saya Pemulung
Masih banyaknya masyarakat yang memandang perempuan berbeda dengan pria menyebabkan wanita dianggap lemah. Budaya patriaki masih melekat pada masyarakat khususnya di Indonesia, padahal banyak perempuan yang lebih kuat dan hebat daripada pria. Film dokumenter dibuat untuk mengubah pola pikir lama masyarakat dengan menceritakan potret kehidupan seorang perempuan yang berjuang bekerja menjadi seorang pemulung untuk menghidupi keluarganya. Semoga dapat mengubah pandangan masyarakat dan menginspirasi perempuan-perempuan lain
The Effect of Dry Matter Content and Inoculation with Lactic Acid Bacteria on the Residual Water Soluble Carbohydrate Content of Silages Prepared from a High Sugar Grass Cultivar
The introduction of new perennial ryegrass cultivars bred for high water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content has created opportunities for improving the quality of grass silage, by not only providing adequate WSC for a good fermentation, but also sufficient to leave a higher residual level of WSC in the mature silage. High WSC silages have the potential to provide readily available energy during the early stages of rumen fermentation to balance energy and nitrogen supply and optimise rumen microbial growth. (Merry et al. 2002). The aim was to examine the effect of wilting and silage inoculants on the residual WSC content of grass silage
Game On? Smoking Cessation Through the Gamification of mHealth: A Longitudinal Qualitative Study
BACKGROUND: Finding ways to increase and sustain engagement with mHealth interventions has become a challenge during application development. While gamification shows promise and has proven effective in many fields, critical questions remain concerning how to use gamification to modify health behavior. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to investigate how the gamification of mHealth interventions leads to a change in health behavior, specifically with respect to smoking cessation. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative longitudinal study using a sample of 16 smokers divided into 2 cohorts (one used a gamified intervention and the other used a nongamified intervention). Each participant underwent 4 semistructured interviews over a period of 5 weeks. Semistructured interviews were also conducted with 4 experts in gamification, mHealth, and smoking cessation. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis undertaken. RESULTS: Results indicated perceived behavioral control and intrinsic motivation acted as positive drivers to game engagement and consequently positive health behavior. Importantly, external social influences exerted a negative effect. We identified 3 critical factors, whose presence was necessary for game engagement: purpose (explicit purpose known by the user), user alignment (congruency of game and user objectives), and functional utility (a well-designed game). We summarize these findings in a framework to guide the future development of gamified mHealth interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Gamification holds the potential for a low-cost, highly effective mHealth solution that may replace or supplement the behavioral support component found in current smoking cessation programs. The framework reported here has been built on evidence specific to smoking cessation, however it can be adapted to health interventions in other disease categories. Future research is required to evaluate the generalizability and effectiveness of the framework, directly against current behavioral support therapy interventions in smoking cessation and beyond
Offenders' Crime Narratives across Different Types of Crimes
The current study explores the roles offenders see themselves playing during an offence and their relationship to different crime types. One hundred and twenty incarcerated offenders indicated the narrative roles they acted out whilst committing a specific crime they remembered well. The data were subjected to Smallest Space Analysis (SSA) and four
themes were identified: Hero, Professional, Revenger and Victim in line with the recent theoretical framework posited for Narrative Offence Roles (Youngs & Canter, 2012). Further analysis showed that different subsets of crimes were more like to be associated with different narrative offence roles. Hero and Professional were found to be associated with property offences (theft, burglary and shoplifting), drug offences and robbery and Revenger
and Victim were found to be associated with violence, sexual offences and murder. The theoretical implications for understanding crime on the basis of offenders' narrative roles as well as practical implications are discussed
Surface Screening Charge and Effective Charge
The charge on an atom at a metallic surface in an electric field is defined
as the field-derivative of the force on the atom, and this is consistent with
definitions of effective charge and screening charge. This charge can be found
from the shift in the potential outside the surface when the atoms are moved.
This is used to study forces and screening on surface atoms of Ag(001)
c -- Xe as a function of external field. It is found that at low
positive (outward) fields, the Xe with a negative effective charge of -0.093
is pushed into the surface. At a field of 2.3 V \AA the charge
changes sign, and for fields greater than 4.1 V \AA the Xe experiences
an outward force. Field desorption and the Eigler switch are discussed in terms
of these results.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, RevTex (accepted by PRL
Resistance and the paradox of legal entitlement â A theoretical analysis of migrant womenâs responses to domestic abuse in the host country
This article provides a theoretically informed examination of migrant womenâs responses to domestic abuse in the host country. It departs from an analysis of research on South Asian women in England, on Portuguese women in England and on Portuguese women in Canada to suggest that womenâs apparent lack of mobilisation of law (primarily by eschewing contact with the justice system of the host country and preferring informality), both perpetuates hegemonic discourses and presents a possibility for change. The theoretical approach undertaken combines literature on legal consciousness, power and resistance, and on socio-cultural structures and barriers that affect migrant women. The article ultimately suggests that, rather than an acceptance of hegemonic discourses, womenâs behaviour is best understood as a form of resistance to, and from within, socio-cultural pressures encountered in everyday life; as a form of âentrenchedâ resistance
Brokering justice: global indigenous rights and struggles over hydropower in Nepal
This article explores the dynamics of brokerage at the intersection between the justice conceptions enshrined in global norms and the notions of justice asserted in specific socio-environmental struggles. Using the case of a small hydropower project in Nepal, we trace the attempts of an indigenous activist to enrol villagers in his campaign against the background of villagersâ everyday negotiations with the hydropower company. The study shows how global norms, such as indigenous peoplesâ rights, may fail to gain traction on the ground or even become sources of injustice in particular contexts
