Media, Agression & Prosocial Behavior
Social Development

Preschool children (N = 78) enrolled in multi-informant, multi-method longitudinal study were participants in a  study designed to investigate the role of media exposure (i.e., violent and educational) on concurrent and future agressive and pro-social behavior. Specifically, the amount of media exposure and nature of the content was used to predict concurrent and future physical, verbal and relational aggression as well as pro-social behavior for girls and boys. This two year longitudinal study found that media exposure predicted various subtypes of aggression and prosocial behavior. These findings are qualified by the gender of the focal child. That is, parental reports of media exposure were associated with relational aggression for girls and physical aggression for boys at school. Ways in which these findings extend our understanding of the role of media during early childhood are discussed.

Paparan Media, Agresi dan Perilaku Prososial pada Anak-anak Usia Dini: Sebuah Studi Longitudinal

Anak-anak Prasekolah (N = 78) diikutkan ke dalam studi longitudinal multi-metode, multi-informan dengan tujuan untuk menyelidiki peran hubungan media (misal, media yang memuat unsur kekerasan dan unsur pendidikan) dengan perilaku prososial dan agresif saat ini dan masa mendatang. Lebih spesifiknya, jumlah paparan media dan sifat muatan digunakan untuk memprediksi agresi fisik, verbal dan relasional saat ini dan masa mendatang serta perilaku prososial untuk anak laki-laki dan anak perempuan.Caranya ialah dengan menghubungkan laporan orang tua tentang paparan media dengan agresi relasional untuk anak perempuan dan agresi fisik untuk anak laki-laki di sekolah.Penelitian ini juga membahas tentang bagaimana temuan penelitian dapat memperluas pemahaman kita mengenai peran media selama masa kanak-kanak usia dini.

Healthcare Waste in the United States Healthcare System

-
How America will pay for healthcare is a subject on the mind of virtually every American today. As Congress determines who will pick up the tab for this important and growing expense, it is worthwhile to take a close look at the cost of healthcare itself. Are there areas where expenses can be cut without undermining the quality of care provided? How prevalent are misuse, overuse, and fraud? This paper tackles the tangled issue of healthcare waste and arrives at some interesting, and perhaps even surprising, conclusions: America’s healthcare system is, indeed, hemorrhaging billions of dollars, and the opportunities to slow the fiscal bleeding are substantial. To organize the evidence supporting claims for the magnitude of waste in the healthcare system,we first suggest a set of categories of waste. For each category, there is a simple definition, a brief description of the examples, and references that allow us to make a reasonable assessment of total annual waste for each category. Ca

International Forestry LawReducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) and decentralized forest management

-
Authors: Irawan, S.; Tacconi, L The implementation of a mechanism for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD - plus) will be affected by governance conditions within host countries. The top eight countries, which are responsible for 70 percent of the world's total annual deforestation, have implemented certain forms of decentralization in public administration and forest management. This paper analyzes implications of decentralized forest management for the implementation of REDD. Three possible options for the involvement of local governments in the implementation of REDD are: 1) the central government decides on a national reference level and devolves the implementation to local governments; 2) the central government decides on a national reference level and seeks expressions of interest from local governments to implement REDD in their administrative areas; and 3) the central and local governments decide on a national reference level jointly and loc

A study of drinking water quality of PDAM

-
One of problems faced by community dealing with water services provided by the State-owned Water Company (PDAM) is inadequacy of the services in fulfilling household needs. Customers often complain because this limited volume of water they can use for daily activities, such the research found in a service quality analysis of drinking water provided by PDAM. The study on service quality may have its cornerstones on three main aspects: the quality, quantity, and continuity.  In case of drinking water quality at the observed location, one should relate it to the quality threshold under the Letter of Decree of the Minister of Health Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Kepmenkes RI, No.907/MENKES/SK/VII 2002, which has been applicable since July 28, 2002. In addition, there is also another technique of analysis to measure the water quality level by examining water debit, water pressure, and flow continuity. However, to deal with PDAM’s vision and mission, service quality analysis is lik
