Performance of Islamic Boarding Schools in developing the beefcattle agribusiness partnership network as a communityempowerment institution in Central Java

ABSTRACTA study had been conducted to evaluate the performance of Islamic Boarding Schools (IBS) indeveloping the beef cattle agribusiness partnerships network in Central Java. This study involved 24 IBSwith each IBS selected two respondents, namely one from internal (santri) and one from external(farmer community). Sample determination uses purposive sampling method. This study uses GapAnalysis by determining the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) value. Primary data were collectedthrough direct observation and interviews with respondents. Secondary data was obtained from relevantgovernment institutions. The results showed that the beef cattle agribusiness partnership network thatwas developed by IBS still did not satisfy for santries and farmer communities (CSI.s.total : 30.73% andCSI.f.total : 47.05%). It was concluded that farmer communities were very enthusiastic about establishingthe beef cattle agribusiness partnerships with IBS; the santries needed additional livestock curriculums;IBS needed training and assistance from the other parties (government, private sector, etc.) in order toimprove the ability to raise beef cattle and the ability to train, instruct and plan the beef cattle farmingdevelopment in surrounding area. Increasing the ability of effectiveness of IBS role as an empowerment institution for surrounding communityKeywords: Islamic Boarding School (IBS), beef cattle, partnership, community empowermen

Multicentre survey of retinopathy of prematurity in Indonesia

Background: The incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is higher in Indonesia than in high-income countries. In order to reduce the incidence of the disease, a protocol on preventing, screening and treating ROP was published in Indonesia in 2010. To assist the practical implementation of the protocol, meetings were held in all Indonesia regions, calling attention to the high incidence of ROP and the methods to reduce it. In addition, national health insurance was introduced in 2014, making ROP screening and treatment accessible to more infants. Objective: To evaluate whether the introduction of both the guideline drawing attention to the high incidence of ROP and national health insurance may have influenced the incidence of the disease in Indonesia. Setting: Data were collected from 34 hospitals with different levels of care: national referral centres, university-based hospitals, and public and private hospitals. Methods: A survey was administered with questions on admission numbers, mortality rates, ROP incidence, and its stages for 2016-2017 in relation to gestational age and birth weight. Results: We identified 12 115 eligible infants with a gestational age of less than 34 weeks. Mortality was 24% and any stage ROP 6.7%. The mortality in infants aged less than 28 weeks was 67%, the incidence of all-stage ROP 18% and severe ROP 4%. In the group aged 28-32 weeks, the mortality was 24%, all-stage ROP 7% and severe ROP 4%-5%. Both mortality and the incidence of ROP were highest in university-based hospitals. Conclusions: In the 2016-2017 period, the infant mortality rate before 32 weeks of age was higher in Indonesia than in high-income countries, but the incidence of ROP was comparable. This incidence is likely an underestimation due to the high mortality rate. The ROP incidence in 2016-2017 is lower than in surveys conducted before 2015. This decline is likely due to a higher practitioner awareness about ROP and national health insurance implementation in Indonesia

La desencantada experiencia intelectual contemporánea

Disenchantment, disillusion and despair reign in a world where technical rationality and globalization create a market culture and the merchandise of audio-visual images to close the order of symbols and the hermeneutics of meaning. Techno-digital ignorance; the repression of sensitivity by an ideological strategy that induces subliminal compulsions for consumption in which pseudo-concretion is lying in wait, generate an existential environment that has undermined intellectual spaces that question and criticize in order to remake themselves based on their emancipating project. Pessimism represents the waters of the new anguish that produces techno-cybernetic nausea in a body lacerated by the cultures of marketing and the reifying linguistic exchanges of communication. Facing the postmodern period of transgressions, the hegemony of image over writing seems to speak to us of a dissemination of the contexts of praxis. Then, the end of objective discourse will make way for the uncertainties of the subject.El desencanto, la desilusión, las desesperanzas, reinan en un mundo donde la racionalidad técnica y la globalización crean la cultura de mercado y la mercancía de las imágenes audiovisuales para cerrar el orden de los símbolos y la hermenéutica del sentido. La inculturación tecno-digital; la represión de la sensibilidad por una estrategia ideológica que induce las compulsiones sublimales de un consumo donde la pseudo-concreción está al acecho, generan un entorno existencial que ha socavado los espacios de la intelectualidad que cuestiona y crítica para rehacerse desde su proyecto emancipador. El pesimismo son las aguas de la nueva angustia que produce la náusea tecno-cibernética, desde un cuerpo lacerado por las culturas del marketing y el intercambio lingüístico reificante de la comunicación. Frente a los tiempos posmodernos de las transgresiones, la hegemonía de la imagen sobre la escritura parece que nos habla de una diseminación de los contextos de la praxis. Luego el fin del discurso objetivo daría paso a las incertidumbres del sujeto

Norrie disease gene polymorphism in Indonesian infants with retinopathy of prematurity

Objective Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of blindness in newborn infants, which also occurs in low-income and middle-income countries. Why ROP progresses in some infants while it regresses in others is still presently unknown. Studies suggest that genetic factors might be involved. Mutations in the Norrie disease (ND) gene are suspected to be related to advanced ROP development. Indonesia is a country with relatively high incidence of ROP, yet the role of these genetic factors in the pathogenesis of ROP cases is still unknown. The study aimed to investigate the presence of mutations in ND on the X chromosome in infants with both non-advanced and advanced ROP in Indonesia. Methods and Analysis This is a case-control study of polymorphisms in six variants within the ND gene in exon 3, C597A, L108P, R121W, A105T, V60E and C110G, in preterm newborn infants in four major hospitals in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. Results We included 162 preterm newborn infants. ROP was diagnosed in 83 infants, and 79 infants served as controls. Among those with ROP, 57 infants had type 2, while others had type 1. We did not find any gene polymorphisms in any of the infants with ROP nor in the control group. Conclusion We conclude that it is very unlikely that the six polymorphisms in exon 3 of the ND gene studied in this paper are involved in the development or progression of ROP in preterm infants in our population sample in Indonesia
