Representation of Sexual Identity Struggle in Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

This paper discusses the journey of finding sexual identity in the novel Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. The analysis focuses on the effort of finding the sexual identity. The struggles before and after coming out are represented in the novel, as well as the critical position of the author. Stuart Hall's representation theory was used as a qualitative approach to analysis. The data of this study were obtained from words, phrases and sentences related to the phenomenon of gay and trans-gender in the selected novels. People are still uncomfortable with the behavior of the LGBT group, so it causes violence against groups associated with them. When the protagonist admits to being gay, he is abused and discriminated against by others, like in the novel. By relating the problem in the story to the author's biography and the struggle to establish his own sexual identity, the topic of sexual identity seems crucial to address as a part of this social phenomenon. This research was conducted as an initial research on the LGBT group, which is expected to be useful for future research

OPTIMASLISASI PRODUK CAMILAN DENGAN MANAJEMEN PRODUKS DAN PEMASARAN MELALUI MEDIA SOSIAL

Micro-enterprises in Indonesia have experienced significant development from time to time. Business people are able to produce various types of diverse products. Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are one of the breakthroughs in increasing economic growth in the community. Along the way, the development of micro-enterprises was also followed by the development of a marketing system that entered the realm of digital media. This aside from being a factor capable of breaking the tide of the market, on the other hand, it is also an obstacle for some micro-enterprises. Lack of knowledge in digital and marketing fields has resulted in some micro-enterprises being unable to compete in conditions of competitive market competition. The purpose of the community service wrapped in the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) program is to provide assistance and training to one of the snack MSMEs in Karangsari Village, Banyuwangi Regency so that MSMEs can know and understand good processed products and digital market opportunities. This KKN activity can be completed well in its entirety. This can be indicated by the achievements that have been obtained, namely: fostered partners already have new product innovations and have and are able to print packaging logos on products. The fostered partners are also able to promote products by marketing through social media. It is hoped that with this assistance and training, micro business actors as partners will be able to become entrepreneurs and/or do business independently and be independent of their processed products.   Keywords:  MSMes, Mentoring and Training, Product MarketingUsaha mikro di Indonesia mengalami perkembanan yang signifikan dari waktu ke waktu.

Patients’ impact on the hidden curriculum of medical students a qualitative study on undergraduate medical students

Aim: To explore and understand professional practice development through medical students’ observation of patient’s responses towards the medical students, illness, and hospital staff. Methodology: Semi-structured focused group discussions were conducted between 3rd September 2019 and 3rd May 2020 using non-probability purposive sampling. Three focused groups were conducted with fourth year medical students (n=19) to discuss about their third-year clinical placement experience. The focused group discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis framework to label the concepts, attached code to the data, and the codes were subsequently grouped into similar themes. Themes that emerged from the interpretation of the coded data were identified. Results: Four main themes emerged from the focus groups: (1) Student’s observation on patient’s responses towards students, illness, and staff; (2) Patient’s perspectives towards students; (3) Students were affected by the experience; and (4) Factors influencing patient’s responses to students, illness, and staff. The impact of patient’s behaviour has influenced students’ professional practice in two ways. The first impact is collaboration of students’ observation during clinical placement with what has been learned through the written curriculum. The second impact is through a hidden curriculum. Conclusions: The hidden curriculum has influenced our students’ learning through observation of new aspects and implementation of the learned written curriculum. Students can aspire medical educators, doctors, and medical staff to adopt approaches and attitudes that have a positive impact on students’ professional practice and to acknowledge that they are the role models for the new generation’s learning through the hidden curriculum

Congenital myopathies: characteristic and subtypes in Hong Kong

This journal suppl. entitled: 20th International Congress of The World Muscle SocietyCongenital myopathies are a group of childhood onset neuromuscular disorder with the diagnosis mainly based on genetic and pathological features. This is a unique group with phenotypic, genotypic and pathological heterogeneity, so the confirmation of an underlying diagnosis is often challenging. This is the first congenital myopathy case series in Hong Kong. A total of 15 patients have been diagnosed to have congenital myopathies with 11 patients had the genetic mutations being identified (4 patients had RYR1 mutations, 3 patients had ACTA1 mutations, 2 patients had KLHL40 mutations, 1 patient had MTM1 mutation and 1 patient had DNM2 mutation).postprin

Dislocation Lines in Three-Dimensional Solids at Low Temperature

© 2019, The Author(s). We propose a model for three-dimensional solids on a mesoscopic scale with a statistical mechanical description of dislocation lines in thermal equilibrium. The model has a linearized rotational symmetry, which is broken by boundary conditions. We show that this symmetry is spontaneously broken in the thermodynamic limit at small positive temperatures
