Media Framing Against Identity Political Orientation as a Representation of Political Interests Ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election

Political movements ahead of the 2024 presidential election are increasingly escalating. The media began to focus on highlighting the political escalation. This study aims to analyze how Kompas.com, Mediaindonesia.com, and Republika.co.id, as influential online media in Indonesia, frame and construct the issue of political identity ahead of the 2024 presidential election. In the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections, the highlight of the issue of political identity was very strong, it is even used as a political commodity to gain voter support. This then causes political polarization, polemics, and even conflicts whose residues are still felt ahead of the 2024 presidential election. This study uses a qualitative approach with framing method by Robert Entman’s. In order to construct messages from the three media and display the construction of the reality of the issue of political identity orientation as a representation of political interests prior to the 2024 presidential election, there is a focus on the process of selecting issues and highlighting specific aspects of the reported reality, which are influenced by the ideology of the media and the opinions of journalists. Keywords: media framing, construction of reality, representation, political identit

Development of medical social work practice in Malaysia: A historical perspective.

Kajian ini menggunakan rekabentuk kualitatif dan strategi induktif untuk mengumpul data menerusi pita rakaman temubual dengan 15 responden yang pernah atau sedang memegang jawatan pekerja sosial perubatan. Kerangka analisis ini adalah berdasarkan kepada empat bahagian, iaitu praktis kerja sosial perubatan, konteks organisasinya, pendidikan kerja sosial serta pendirian profesional, menjangkaui tiga jangka masa yang berbeza, iaitu 1950-1969, 1970-1989 dan 1990- 2010. This study adopted a qualitative design and an inductive strategy to collect primary data through tape recorded interviews with 15 respondents who once held or are still holding, the posts of medical social workers. The framework of analysis was based on four areas, i.e., the medical social work practice, its institutional context, social work education and professional standing, over three different time frames which are 1950-1969, 1970-1989 and 1990-2010

Development Of Medical Social Work Practice In Malaysia: A Historical Perspective

This study adopted a qualitative design and an inductive strategy to collect primary data through tape recorded interviews with 15 respondents who once held or are still holding, the posts of medical social workers. The framework of analysis was based on four areas, i.e., the medical social work practice, its institutional context, social work education and professional standing, over three different time frames which are 1950-1969, 1970-1989 and 1990-2010. The findings showed that the practice had developed out of a need for supportive psychosocial services in the aftermath of World War II, and professional training was a prerequisite for practice during the first three decades. However a change in intake policy beginning in the mid - 1980s saw the recruitment of graduates without social work qualifications into both public and university hospitals, followed by the secondment of untrained welfare assistants into public hospitals in the late 1980s, and the intake of counsellors into public hospitals in the late 1990s. The findings showed that by 2010 these events had contributed significantly to a subsequent diminishing emphasis in the professional role and tasks of counselling and psychosocial support, and a significant increase in the task of social assessments for financial problems, which narrowed perception of medical social work to being mere welfare assistance. This perception within the hospital institution still persists but, in the last five years the Ministry of Health has taken clear steps to reprofessionalise medical social work practice through the enactment of an Allied Health Professions Bill which is in the process of being drafte

Pathologist Concordance for Ovarian Carcinoma Subtype Classification and Identification of Relevant Histologic Features Using Microscope and Whole Slide Imaging.

CONTEXT.—: Despite several studies focusing on the validation of whole slide imaging (WSI) across organ systems or subspecialties, the use of WSI for specific primary diagnosis tasks has been underexamined. OBJECTIVE.—: To assess pathologist performance for the histologic subtyping of individual sections of ovarian carcinomas using a light microscope and WSI. DESIGN.—: A panel of 3 experienced gynecologic pathologists provided reference subtype diagnoses for 212 histologic sections from 109 ovarian carcinomas based on optical microscopy review. Two additional attending pathologists provided diagnoses and also identified the presence of a set of 8 histologic features important for ovarian tumor subtyping. Two experienced gynecologic pathologists and 2 fellows reviewed the corresponding WSI images for subtype classification and feature identification. RESULTS.—: Across pathologists specialized in gynecologic pathology, concordance with the reference diagnosis for the 5 major ovarian carcinoma subtypes was significantly higher for a pathologist reading on a microscope than each of 2 pathologists reading on WSI. Differences were primarily due to more frequent classification of mucinous carcinomas as endometrioid with WSI. Pathologists had generally low agreement in identifying histologic features important to ovarian tumor subtype classification with either an optical microscopy or WSI. This result suggests the need for refined histologic criteria for identifying such features. Interobserver agreement was particularly low for identifying intracytoplasmic mucin with WSI. Inconsistencies in evaluating nuclear atypia and mitoses with WSI were also observed. CONCLUSIONS.—: Further research is needed to specify the reasons for these diagnostic challenges and to inform users and manufacturers of WSI technology

Invasive Group A Streptococcal Infection in High School Football Players, New York City, 2003

After being notified that 2 high school football teammates were hospitalized with confirmed or suspected invasive group A streptococcal infections, we conducted an investigation of possible spread among other team members. This investigation highlights a need for guidelines on management of streptococcal and other infectious disease outbreaks in team sport settings
