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.

Bureaucratic Issues in Indonesia

-
Reform experienced by Indonesia in 1998 has led to major change nationwide. The change took place as far as governmental administration process. Bureaucracy as part of the government’s job description, was also affected by the reform. The movement towards change required bureaucracy to be more neutral, transparent, responsive, and accountable, politically. Such demand has pushed the bureaucrats to create a new frame and characteristic building in answering their responsibility to fulfill the needs of people as their constituents. In practice, Indonesian bureaucracy truly needed more experience to anticipate this massive change. For example, there were still many handicaps in providing public services. This situation opposed to the previously idealized dream, a government as a good servant for the citizens. Many elements of the current government administration were reluctant to fulfill the people needs voluntarily. Bureaucracy, which initially aimed to simplify administration process,

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

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
