Researching Violence Against Women in Aotearoa/New Zealand

This paper discusses strategies for research with women who have been victimised in their intimate relationships with their partners. I will discuss the specific issues that concern the vulnerability of women victimised by intimate partner violence: experiences of intimate violence, stereotyping, minimisation, sexual violence, protection of children, the meaning of safety. Examples from the accounts of women who whose partners had been prosecuted for violence against them, and those who had sought legal interventions like protection orders, will illustrate how each of these issues needs to be taken into account when conducting research with abused women. Strategies that we have used to deal with these issues in studies conducted in the Domestic Violence Interventions and Services Research Programme will be discussed, with illustrations of the complexities of putting them into practice.Keyword: domestic violence, intimate relationships, victimization, and New Zealand wome

Qualitative Research in Psychology

Qualitative research is a research method studying subjective meaning of participant\u27s world about an object researched. Steps of qualitative research in psychology are: researchers select research topic, researchers formulate research questions, researchers design the study, researchers collect data, researchersanalyses data, researchers generate findings, researchers validate findings, and researchers write research report. Some of the qualitative research designs are grounded research, phenomenology research, case study research, and ethnography research. In some situations, researchers often meet questions that reach beyond the prescription of the APA ethical guidelines concerning human participants. Researchers of qualitative research in psychology can generalize their research findings to other people, times, or treatments to the degree to which they are similar to other people, times, or treatments in the original research (naturalistic generalization). There are some strategies for expanding qualitative research as a research approach so the methodology can be accepted as one significant method in understanding psychological phenomena

Who Have Higher Psychological Well-Being? a Comparison Between Early Married and Adulthood Married Women

Abstract Theoritically, marriage and age is two aspects related to level of psychological well-being (PWB). A person who married will be healthier physically and psychologically, so it can increase the PWB. The PWB will be higher for adult rather than younger. The question is, what about someone who got married at an early age? Is there any difference between the level of PWB on early married women and women who married in adulthood? Therefore, this study aimed to see differences between those two subjects. The research used survey methods, with PWB scale as the instrument. Subjects in this study were women aged 20-30 years, who married at the aged under 20 years and above 20 years. Subjects in this study 67 people. The results showed significant differences in levels of PWB among women who married early to married adult women (t = 3.816, p = 0.000, p <0,01). Adulthood-married women had a higher level of PWB than early age married women.Keywords: Psychological well-being, Early Marriage, adulthood marriag

Perancangan Sistem Monitoring Bandwidth Internet Berbasis SMS

Bandwidth merupakan sebuah takaran lalu lintas data yang masuk dan yang keluar dalam jaringan internet server. Banyaknya ukuran suatu data atau informasi yang dapat mengalir dari suatu tempat ketempat yang lain dalam sebuah network. Pengatur jaringan dapat mengamati atau memonitor kondisi bandwidth pada jaringan internet server, maka pengatur jaringan harus siap setiap saat memonitor atau mengamati kondisi bandwidth. Jika sewaktu-waktu terjadi masalah pada bandwidth dan para pengatur jaringan tidak berada ditempat, maka para pengatur jaringan tidak dapat mengetahui jika bandwidth dalam kondisi tidak baik. Sebab belum adanya sistem yang dapat memantau jika terjadi penurunan quota atau melemahnya bandwidth secara realtime. SMS (Short Message Service) merupakan solusi yang tepat untuk digunakan oleh pengatur jaringan dalam menyelsaikan permasalahan tersebut

EKSTRAK HEKSAN BIJI JINTAN HITAM (Nigella sativa L) MENINGKATKAN AKTIVITAS FAGOSITOSIS MAKROFAG TIKUS BETINA GALUR SD (Sprague Dawley) YANG DIINDUKSI DMBA (7,12Dimetilbenz(α)antrasen) SECARA IN VITRO

Penelitian yang dilakukan sebelumnya telah membuktikan bahwa minyak biji jinten hitam bersifat sebagai imunomodulator, namun bagaimana mekanisme MBJH sebagai imunomodulator pada makrofag yang diinduksi DMBA belum diketahui. Telah dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui efek Ekstrak Hexana Biji Jinten Hitam (EHBJH) terhadap aktifitas fagositosis makrofag peritoneal tikus SD yang diinduksi DMBA. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 10 ekor tikus betina Sprague Dawley yang dibagi dalam dua kelompok, yaitu 5 tikus kelompok tanpa perlakuan DMBA dan 5 tikus kelompok perlakuan DMBA. Setelah satu minggu pemberian DMBA sebanyak 15 mg perekor tikus, tikus dibedah dan diambil cairan peritonealnya untuk dilakukan isolasi makrofag yang akan dikultur selama 24 jam. Makrofag peritoneal tersebut diberi ekstrak heksan BJH (Nigella sativa Lour) sebanyak 1 μg/mL, 5 μg/mL, 25 μg/mL, dan diberi standar timokuinon untuk masing-masing kelompok tanpa induksi DMBA dan kelompok perlakuan DMBA. Makrofag diinkubasi kembali selama 2 jam. Uji fagositosis dilakukan dengan menambahkan partikel lateks pada makrofag berbudaya dan pewarnaan Giemsa. Data persentase jumlah makrofag yang makan lateks dan indeks fagositosis dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji Kolmogorov-Smirnov yang dilanjutkan dengan uji ANOVA dan uji LSD dengan taraf kepercayaan 95%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aktifitas dan indek fagositosis makrofag yang tidak diinduksi DMBA lebih besar dari pada aktifitas dan indek fagositosis makrofag yang diinduksi makrofag (p<0,05). Kelompok 25 µg/mL EHBJH memiliki aktifitas dan indek fagositosis paling tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan kelompok perlakuan yang lain (p<0,05). Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak heksan BJH (Nigella sativa Lour) dapat meningkatkan aktivitas fagositosis makrofag tikus betina galur Sprague Dawle

The Role of Scheme Method to Improve the Ability in Solving Mathematical Word Problems
