PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP HAK ANAK KORBAN PRAKTEK PROSTITUSI DARI WISATAWAN

Hasil penelitian untuk mengetahui bagaimana faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan anak-anak menjadi korban prostitusi dari wisatawan dan perlindungan hukum terhadap anak-anak korban praktek prostitusi dari wisatawan. Pertama, diberbagai komunitas, yang namanya prostitusi, diakui atau tidak merupakan akses yang tak terhindarkan dari perkembangan moderenisasi, kapitalisme, industri pariwisata dan industri jasa layanan yang makin kompetitif. Penyebab anak-anak terjerat dalam bisnis pelacuran adalah motivasi untuk mencari uang, karena salah pergaulan, akibat ditelantarkan orang tua semasa kecil, katanya juga penyebab lain adalah seorang anak broken home. Kedua, perlindungan anak merupakan perwujudan adanya keadilan dalam suatu masyarakat. Dengan demikian maka perlindungan anak harus diusahakan dalam berbagai bidang kehidupan bernegara dan bermasyarakat. Perlindungan anak merupakan suatu bidang pembangunan nasional. Hukum yang mengatur tentang hak anak harus lebih mengutamakan perlindungan terhadap hak-hak asasi anak sebagaimana yang telah diatur dibeberapa ketentuan yang berlaku lintas negara, yang beberapa diantaranya telah diratifikasi menjadi hukum nasional. Penyusunan karya tulis ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dan dapat disimpulkan bahwa prostitusi anak-anak yang dilacurkan adalah disebabkan karena faktor-faktor internal keluarga seperti: kemiskinan, penghasilan orang tua tidak mencukupi untuk menunjang kehidupan ekonomi keluarga, pendidikan yang rendah, budaya, putus sekolah,  pekerjaan menyerupai perbudakan, perkawinan dini. Untuk itu perlu adanya perlindungan hukum terhadap anak-anak korban praktek prostitusi dari wisatawan yaitu dengan melakukan pengawasan dan penegakan hukum terhadap bentuk-bentuk kegiatan praktek prostitusi anak.

Analyzing the Spread of Chagas Disease with Mobile Phone Data

We use mobile phone records for the analysis of mobility patterns and the detection of possible risk zones of Chagas disease in two Latin American countries. We show that geolocalized call records are rich in social and individual information, which can be used to infer whether an individual has lived in an endemic area. We present two case studies, in Argentina and in Mexico, using data provided by mobile phone companies from each country. The risk maps that we generate can be used by health campaign managers to target specific areas and allocate resources more effectively.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

Predicting factors of abusive head trauma in infants within a child maltreatment population

Research into the predictors of child physical abuse has shown that caregivers that have perpetrated child physical abuse experience internalizing mental health concerns (stress, emotional distress, anxiety, and depression) more often than other caregivers. Domestic violence within the household is also related to caregivers who have perpetrated child physical abuse, as well as their own childhood abuse and neglect. Studies have also shown that younger caregivers are more likely than older caregivers to commit child physical abuse. With bountiful research on child physical abuse, there is very little on Shaken Baby Syndrome or Abusive Head Trauma (AHT). The current study examined the relationship between diagnosed mental illness of the caregiver, a presence of domestic violence, caregiver age, caregiver sex, marital status, number of children within the household and AHT, using the Fourth National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS-4) archival dataset on 12,694 abused or maltreated children collected by the Children's Bureau and the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families that took place in 2005 and 2006. This study found that caregivers aged 25 and younger are more likely to contribute to abusive head trauma than caregivers aged 26 and older and families with 2 or less children have a higher likelihood of abusive head trauma occurring within them than families with 3 or more children. There was no significance found in a relationship between abusive head trauma and mental illness within the caregiver, domestic violence within the household, marital status, or sex of the caregiver

The City Pulse of Buenos Aires

Cell phone technology generates massive amounts of data. Although this data has been gathered for billing and logging purposes, today it has a much higher value, because its volume makes it very useful for big data analyses. In this project, we analyse the viability of using cell phone records to lower the cost of urban and transportation planning, in particular, to find out how people travel in a specific city (in this case, Buenos Aires, in Argentina). We use cell phones data to estimate the distribution of the population in the city using different periods of time. We compare those results with traditional methods (urban polling) using data from Buenos Aires origin-destination surveys. Traditional polling methods have a much smaller sample, in the order of tens of thousands (or even less for smaller cities), to maintain reasonable costs. Furthermore, these studies are performed at most once per decade, in the best cases, in Argentina and many other countries. Our objective is to prove that new methods based on cell phone data are reliable, and can be used indirectly to keep a real-time track of the flow of people among different parts of a city. We also go further to explore new possibilities opened by these methods.Sociedad Argentina de Informática e Investigación Operativa (SADIO

Self-improvement, community improvement : North Carolina Sorosis and the women's club movement in Wilmington, North Carolina, 1895-1950

The Progressive Era ushered in a new importance for women’s associations with an increase in municipal housekeeping that centered on education, health, social services and other civic concerns. Prior to the Progressive Era, women’s clubs across America focused on the self-improvement of their members through the study of art, literature, and other cultural pastimes. North Carolina Sorosis was part of the nationwide emergence of women’s clubs during the Progressive Era. Organized womanhood provided a safe location to break down traditional roles of women and expanded women’s influence in the public sphere. The women’s club movement established the idea that women had a moral duty and responsibility to improve society. Clubs provided them with the vehicle to enter the public sphere and to transform, define, and shape public policy. North Carolina Sorosis contributed to Wilmington’s social and cultural infrastructure by creating parks, museums, libraries, and schools. For the women of Sorosis, the club provided an opportunity to become a powerful source of change in Wilmington. Members developed political skills by working with city officials even before women gained the right to vote. Sorosis members also acquired leadership experience and developed financial skills by sponsoring fund-raisers and by creating and maintaining museums, libraries and other civic institutions. These changes in women’s clubs during the Progressive Era were exemplified with the clubhouse boom. The last chapter of this thesis focuses on the North Carolina Sorosis Clubhouse. The Sorosis clubhouse, like so many clubhouses across America, was established through the hard work, talent, and efficacy of women willing to undertake financial, managerial, organizational, and bureaucratic responsibilities on levels unprecedented prior to the Progressive Era. The women of Sorosis and thousands of clubwomen across the nation demonstrated, to themselves and to their communities, women’s potential at these tasks. The clubhouse was recognized across the nation as an expression of pride and power for clubwomen. To build, design, and purchase clubhouses represented the effort of women’s clubs to combine civic responsibilities with more traditional social roles. Clubwomen believed the city could become homelike and as domestic housekeepers they attempted to blur the lines between public and private space. This act enabled them to cross these lines and enter into the city’s public spaces. The very success of the clubwomen contributed to a decline in the power and influence of the clubwoman. Sorosis was no longer the driving force of change in Wilmington after World War II. Much of the work Sorosis had accomplished including the founding of the first free public library, establishing Greenfield Lake Park, organizing a night school for Delgado Mill Workers, sponsoring milk stations and baby clinics was turned over to the city for upkeep. With the professionalization of libraries, museums, social work, and other public institutions, the clubwomen lost their control and influence on the social and cultural growth and direction of Wilmington. As a result, North Carolina Sorosis reverted to once again functioning as a social club for women. Nevertheless, the institutions that Sorosis created remain central to the social and cultural vibrancy of present-day Wilmington

User agreements and makerspaces: a content analysis

Abstract– The purpose of this paper is to analyze the user agreements of makerspaces in public and academic libraries. User agreements, also known as maker agreements, user forms and liability forms, can be very important documents between library patrons, staff and faculty. User agreements are similar to the earlier creation of acceptable use policies for technology use in libraries. The author of this study will delve into the user agreements created for public and academic libraries across the USA.Design/methodology/approach– The researcher used content analysis to investigate 24 different user agreements written for public and academic library makerspaces. NVivo qualitative data analysis software was integrated into this research to aid in the breakdown of commonalities across terms, themes and purpose within the user agreements.Findings– Although makerspaces are a very exciting topic in the field of library science at this time, the implementation of a maker learning space is still new to many libraries. Creating a user agreement for a makerspace is newer still. Most user agreements in this study were six months to a year old. Some consistencies found across makerspace user agreements include liability waivers, permissions for minors, safety, copyright and technology replacement costs.Originality/value– At this time, most publications on makerspaces are held in the realm of popular publications (blogs, magazines, zines, etc.). The body of peer-reviewed and scholarly research on makerspaces is growing. Makerspace user agreements are new to this growing field of interest, and a content analysis of these documents will pave the way for the writing of future forms

How to make a maker librarian

Makerspaces are simply a location for open-exploration, tinkering, problem solving, and critical thinking for all. This definition and idea ties in well to the focus of the Knowledge School. Makerspaces and the librarians who work in them aim at being socially just, community based, and focus their maker learning locations toward their practitioners. Those in schools, universities, and communities who are often charged to implement a maker location. When a student graduates from a Masters of Library and Information Science program or iSchool are they are ready to work with makers in their community? Are they ready to learn and train themselves? Are they ready to continue growth in their own knowledge? Have their programs of study, their schools of knowledge trained them appropriately? This article delves into case studies focused on that very discussion
