ICT and Women's Empowerment: A Review from Development Communications Perspective

Abstract: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is growingrapidly in Indonesia, especially the internet. Data Association of IndonesianInternet Network Providers (APJII) revealed that 132.7 million Indonesianshave used the internet. This data shows almost all circles using the internet. Notonly in the city, but also in the countryside and in the coastal areas, manyresidents use the Internet by using a smartphone. Data also shows that theinternet user is still dominated by men. Women are considered incapable andless capable in utilizing ICT. However, many research results emphasize thatinformation technology or the Internet can help spread in improving social andeconomic processes. This paper examines about how ICTs and women'sempowerment are in the perspective of development communication. This isbecause development should not be gender biased and there is an activeparticipation of women in order to avoid discrimination. A case from IndramayuDistrict of West Java province becomes a sample for this study. It revealed thatthere is a gender biased and women are willing to be empowered throughutilizing ICT

Leadership Types in Support of Creativity and Innovation Within Video Game Studios in Indonesia

This study explores the leadership type most impacting organizational climate, creativity, and innovation in game studios. This study also addresses a gap in previous studies: organizational creativity's role in producing innovative products. This quantitative study of 68 respondents consisting of managers/owners and employees of game studios in Indonesia analyzes the type of leadership that affects organizational climate, creativity, and, ultimately, corporate innovation using an electronic survey during the COVID-19 pandemic. The respondents were acquired by invitations dispersed with the help of managing members of Asosiasi Game Indonesia and game developer social networks. The survey results were analyzed using the structural equation modeling partial least squares technique (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3 software. This study shows that transformational leadership is the dominant leadership type and positively impacts a supportive organizational climate; such a climate also impacts organizational creativity. Transformational leadership also affects the kind of innovation in game studios. Understanding the factors of producing creative and innovative products in creative teams should improve the growth of video game producers. Keywords: creative industry, indonesia, leadership style, organizational innovation, video game developmen

Determining Students’ Conceptual Understanding Level of Thermodynamics

Science students find heat, temperature, enthalpy and energy in chemical reactions to be some of the most difficult subjects. It is crucial to define their conceptual understanding level in these subjects so that educators can build upon this knowledge and introduce new thermodynamics concepts. This paper reports conceptual understanding levels of high school students of common thermodynamics subjects such as heat, temperature, enthalpy and energy changes in chemical reactions. The sample of the study was composed of 418 randomly selected students from 11 different high schools. A cross sectional survey model was employed in this study. Data were collected through the Conceptual Understanding Test (CUT), which consists of 16 questions. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for the test was 0.72. Besides, interviews were conducted with 10 students to get qualitative data about their beliefs on the subject. The results of the study indicated that students’ level of conceptual understanding in thermodynamics concepts is very low. It was observed to be especially low for the concepts of (1) relationship between energy, enthalpy and bonds in chemical reactions, (2) energy and catalysts in chemical reactions, (3) changes in heat, temperature and enthalpy during change of state, and (4) the relationship between heat, temperature, mass and specific heat. Most of the students in this study do not fully understand common thermodynamics concepts although they have been studying these topics since primary school

Awareness on Smoking Behaviour Among Students in Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies, Islamic Science University of Malaysia (USIM)

Research has shown that smoking has bad implications on smokers and society as a whole. For that matter, the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOHM) have taken various initiatives through information technology and social media to educate the public and students about the negative effects of smoking. The objective of this study is to identify the level of awareness among students on factors which lead to smoking behaviour and the negative effects it has on society. This study was conducted on 228 students at the Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies, Islamic Science University of Malaysia. The research is quantitative in nature using questionnaire method. The quantitative data were then analysed descriptively in Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) to obtain the frequency and percentage. The finding of the study shows that the level of students’ awareness on factors leading to smoking habit is at a satisfactory level. The students are aware that peers are the main contributing factor towards smoking habit. The level of awareness on the harmful effects of smoking is also at a satisfactory level. The students’ awareness is influenced by their field of study which is Islamic studies as well as their modest purchasing power considering their average family income range from RM1000 to RM3000. The conclusion of the study is the importance to educate students on the harmful effects of smoking, as well as to maintain the level of awareness among them

Remdesivir for the Treatment of COVID-19: A Systematic Review of the Literature

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of SARS-CoV-2 a global pandemic. To date, coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has spread to over 200 countries, leading to over 1.6 million cases and over 99,000 deaths. Given that there is neither a vaccine nor proven treatment for COVID-19, there is currently an urgent need for effective pharmacotherapy. To address the need for an effective treatment of SARS-CoV-2 during the worldwide pandemic, this systematic review of intravenous (IV) remdesivir was performed. Remdesivir, an anti-viral prodrug originally developed to treat Ebola virus disease, has shown broad spectrum activity against the Coronavirus family. A recent case report reported improvement of clinical symptoms with remdesivir in a patient with COVID-19. After conducting a systematic search of 18 clinical trial registries and three large scientific databases, we identified 86 potentially eligible items. Following removal of duplicates (n = 21), eligible studies were reviewed independently by two authors. After the first round of screening, inter-rater agreement was 98.5% (κ = 0.925). After the second round of full-text screening, inter-rater agreement was 100%. A total of seven ongoing and recruiting clinical trials of remdesivir (100-200 milligrams, intravenous [IV]) were included. We identified the following primary outcomes: patients discharged (n = 2); time to clinical status improvement (n = 2); improved O2 saturation (n = 2); body temperature normalization (n = 2); and clinical status (n = 1). Secondary outcomes in all identified studies included documentation of adverse events. Phase 3 trials are expected to be completed between April 2020–2023. Therefore, despite supportive data from in vitro and in vivo studies, the clinical effectiveness of IV remdesivir for treatment of COVID-19 and potential side effects remain incompletely defined in the human population

Relation of Epicardial Fat Thickness with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Aims. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness (EFT) with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods and Results. A total of 139 patients with T2DM (mean age 54.3 ± 9.2 and 49.6% male) and 40 age and sex-matched control subjects were evaluated. Echocardiographic EFT and ultrasonographic CIMT were measured in all subjects. Patients with T2DM had significantly increased EFT and CIMT than those of the controls (6.0 ± 1.5 mm versus 4.42 ± 1.0 mm, P<0.001 and 0.76 ± 0.17 mm versus 0.57 ± 0.14 mm, P<0.001, resp.). EFT was correlated with CIMT, waist circumference, BMI, age, duration of T2DM, HbA1c in the type 2 diabetic patients. Linear regression analysis showed that CIMT (β=3.52, t=3.72, P<0.001) and waist circumference (β=0.36, t=2.26, P=0.03) were found to be independent predictors of EFT. A cutoff high risk EFT value of 6.3 mm showed a sensitivity and specificity of 72.5% and 71.7%, respectively, for the prediction of subclinical atherosclerosis. Conclusion. We found that echocardiographic EFT was significantly higher in patients with T2DM. Our study also showed that EFT was strongly correlated with waist circumference and CIMT as being independent of sex

Pengenalan Bidang Kemaritiman Sejak Usia Dini melalui Pembelajaran Tematik Kelautan pada Siswa Taman Kanak Kanak

Indonesia yang terdiri atas ribuan pulau dengan keunggulan kompetitif di seluruh penjuru nusantara namun potensi tersebut  tidak tergarap dengan baik. Salah satu alasan mengapa potensi tersebut belum berkembang dan belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal adalah karena rendahnya pengetahuan dan minat masyarakat dalam pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan potensi laut. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan minat dan pemahaman bidang kemaritiman adalah dengan memasukkan pendidikan kebaharian dalam kurikulum pendidikan nasional pada semua level satuan pendidikan. Upaya ini merupakan langkah yang tepat dalam mengatasi rendahnya semangat dan jiwa bahari bangsa Indonesia. Anak anak sebagai generasi penerus bangsa merupakan agen penting dalam pembangunan kemaritiman. Oleh karena itu sangat penting untuk menumbuhkan minat dan semangat kebaharian pada mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya peningkatan pengetahuan bidang kemaritiman bagi anak anak siswa taman kanak kanak melalui pembelajaran tematik kelautan yang telah disusun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan metode pembelajaran yang digunakan yaitu dengan dengan bermain, bercakap-cakap, bercerita, demostrasi, proyek dan pemberian tugas mampu meningkatkan pemahaman dan minat anak anak tentang kemaritiman.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17977/um017v22i22017p09
