The differences between the quality of life of malays and nonmalays breast cancer survivors women from a Teaching Hospital,Kuala Lumpur: a qualitative study

Introduction : The purpose of this study is to explore the differences of quality of life (QOL) of Malay and non-Malay breast cancer survivors using qualitative method. Methods : Data was collected using in-depth face to face interview. List of the patients were obtained from Oncology & Surgery Departments and contact numbers were obtained from the medical record. The interviews were conducted either in their home or in the hospital after the appointment has been made. Results : The majority of the Malays were unable to fulfill the needs of their families. However, the non-Malays were able to fulfill the needs of their families. The majority were satisfied with social interaction and the relationships with their families and friends. In terms of feelings, most survivors felt sad, angry and sometimes they feel like they were going to die early. However the majority coped well with their illness. Regarding sleep, all Malays did not have any sleeping problems, but most of the non-Malays reported serious problems. All survivors were worried about the other female members of the family of getting the same illness. Most survivors did not have any problems with altered body image. Conclusion : Malays did not have any sleeping problems, but most of the non-Malays reported serious problems. However, the majority of survivors coped well with their illnesses

SUMPAH POCONG: Upaya Konstruksi Fiqh Kultural Khas Indonesia

As a cultural rite in Indonesia, especially among Javanese, Sumpah Pocong (a kind of oath, which wore an Islamic gown and/or held by Islamic rites for a death man) is an unique rite. Nevertheless looked a like Islamic rites, but it has never found in classical or modern Islamic book of fiqh. The uniqueness guessed that it has made up from acculturation process among Indonesian fuqahā to solve a problem of less or no single evidence in social dispute such calumnies or admission claims. They (Indonesian fuqahā) has modified the institutions in Islamic norm about evidence (mubāhalah and li\u27ān oath) as a kind of acceptable rite among Indonesian moslem, culturally – that we know recently as Sumpah Pocong. Nevertheless, the refusal views came from puritanist, refused of it as a part of Islamic norm (syari\u27ah, fiqh). They noted that Sumpah Pocong as a kind bid\u27ah practices and not a part of syari\u27a. Hence, it must be abandoned and eliminated from Islamic legal iuris (fiqh). According to me, this puritan\u27s view is unfriendly toward local wisdom that lie on Sumpah Pocong, as traditional rite that based on acculturation of Islamic norm with local practices. This research aimed to refuse those puritan\u27s accusation and prove otherwise that Sumpah Pocong is legally true as a part of fiqh. Eventhough, it can be proved using classical ushuliyah method, qiyas, I did so with cultural fiqh contruction approaches. The using of this method grounded the distinctively (Indonesian) cultural fiqh construction, that is more friendly toward local cultural practices in Indonesia, but firmly-still hold Islamic principles. So, I had to construct first this tolerant concept by summarising the Islamic cultural concept of Hasbi as-Shiddiqy, Munawir Sadzali, and Abdurrahman Wahid, in order to bridge the gap between cultural practices and Islamic principles

ANALISIS SISTEM DRAINASE KOTA TONDANO (STUDI KASUS KOMPLEKS KANTOR BUPATI MINAHASA)

Kondisi sistem drainase kompleks kantor Bupati Minahasa yang mengalami penurunan dalam fungsi pelayanannya disebabkan oleh jaringan dan kapasitas saluran drainase yang tidak memadai, mutu operasi saluran drainase yang masih sub standar serta adanya degradasi kualitas catchment area di hulu dan di hilir. Permasalahan yang sering muncul adalah genangan di ruas jalan sebelah Selatan dan sebelah Barat kompleks kantor Bupati, yang terjadi pada saat curah hujan tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi penyebab genangan serta memberikan solusi penanganan genangan yang terjadi. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah dengan mengumpulkan data spasial, data sistem drainase eksisting, data hidrologi, data hidrolika serta data teknik lainnya. Analisis hidrologi dilakukan untuk mendapatkan debit rencana (Qrenc).  Perkiraan hujan rencana dilakukan dengan analisa frekuensi terhadap data curah hujan dengan kala ulang 10 tahun menggunakan metode log Pearson III. Perhitungan intensitas hujan ditinjau dengan menggunakan rumus Mononobe. Debit rencana dihitung menggunakan metode rasional. Untuk menghitung debit kapasitas (Qkaps) dari saluran dan gorong-gorong, dilakukan analisis hidrolika. Dari perbandingan antara debit rencana dan debit kapasitas (Qrenc ≤ Qkaps), dapat diketahui kemampuan dari setiap saluran dan gorong-gorong dalam menampung debit rencana. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, dari 81 ruas saluran dan 32 gorong-gorong sistem drainase eksisting, 79 ruas memenuhi kapasitas, 2 ruas tidak memenuhi kapasitas sedangkan untuk gorong-gorong 31 memenuhi kapasitas dan 1 tidak memenuhi kapasitas. Genangan diatasi dengan mengalihkan sebagian pola aliran dari zona I (zona IA) ke zona II. Pada sistem drainase baru, 81 saluran eksisting tetap dipertahankan sedangkan 32 gorong-gorong eksisting memerluka penambahan 1 gorong-gorong baru, menjadi 33 gorong-gorong. Secara teknis, persoalan sampah dapat diatasi dengan membuat saringan sampah (trash rack) pada bagian inlet gorong-gorong dan secara non teknis diatasi dengan melibatkan peran serta masyarakat dalam kegiatan operasional dan pemeliharaan. Kata kunci : Genangan, Sistem Drainase, Debit Rencana, Debit Kapasita

DYNAMICS OF DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER INCIDENCE WITH SPATIO-TEMPORAL APPROACH IN MARITENGNGAE SUBDISTRICT, SIDENRENG RAPPANG DISTRICT, SULAWESI SELATAN PROVINCE, IN 2008-2009

Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) causes 40% of world population at risk for infection, and 50 million people get infection with as many as 24,000 die every year. Incidence rate in Indonesia, particularly in Maritengngae Subdistrict, Sidenreng Rappang District, is increasing and needed to be controlled. Disease distribution has not been documented regionally. The dynamics of the incidence,that comprises the characteristics of the patient, environmental conditions, susceptibility of mosquitoes resulted from insecticide use, transovarial infectivity, and the incidence pattern were unknown.Objectives: To identify the dynamics of DHF incidence with spatio-temporal approach, includes gender, age, the habit of cleaning the water containers, house density, the density of water containers within the radius of 100 meters from the house of the patient, resistance of the mosquito, and transovarial transmission of Dengue virus.Methods: Subjects were DHF patients in Maritengngae Subdistrict. It was an epidemiological observational study with cross-sectional design and spatio-temporal approach to variables of the study, which included the patient characteristics (age, gender, habit of cleaning the water containers), environmental conditions (house density, water container density within 100 meter radius around the patient’s house), and vector conditions (resistance status to organophosphate insecticide, and transovarial transmission of Dengue virus).Results: Cases of DHF in Maritenggae Sub district, Sidenreng Rappang District, South Sulawesi decreased from 95 cases in 2008 to 38 cases in 2009, except in Kelurahan Majeling. Incidence distribution of DHF in 2008-2009 based on gender were not different (p=1.000), patients with age <15 years old were different from age ≥15 years (P=0.016 and p = 0.013), house density and density of water containers around the patient’s house were not different (p=0.829 and p = 0.538). The habit of cleaning water containers at the house was 43.84%. There were 1.94% of Aedes aegypti samples showed medium resistance (tolerance) status against organophosphat insecticide and 33.33% of samples showed transovarial transmission of Dengue virus. The highest of transovarial transmission occured in Kelurahan Majeling with transovarial transmission index of 100%.Conclusion: The transmission dynamic of DHF in Maritengngae sub district is not influenced by gender, house densities, water container densities, and the frequency of source reduction, but influenced by ages. Most of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes are still susceptible against organophosphate insecticides. The highest of transovarial transmission of dengue virus in Ae. aegypti in Kelurahan Majeling with Transovarial transmission index of 100% may contribute in the increasing of DHF cases in the Kelurahan Majeling in 2009.Keywords: dynamics, dengue, spatio-temporal, Ae. aegypti, Maritengngae
