2024-03-19T16:23:48+00:00

The research is motivated by the ineffectiveness of the implementation of the Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Services (PONED) program at the Bangetayu Public Health Center in Semarang City. This ineffectiveness is primarily attributed to inhibiting factors such as poor communication, a shortage of human resources, and insufficient facilities and infrastructure. These challenges have adversely affected the quality of healthcare services provided to the community and have hindered the program from achieving its intended goals. This research aimed to evaluate the PONED Program implementation at health centres to determine the factors driving and inhibiting its success. This descriptive and qualitative research was carried out at the Bangetayu Public Health Centre, one of the primary health care centres with Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Services (PONED) in Semarang City. The purposive sampling method was used to collect data from 15 informants through interviews. Public compliance with the program could be seen from the very high participation of citizens in PONED socialization. Community participation in identifying problems and determining the PONED strategy with stakeholders is not in sync with the activities budgeted in the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget as deconcentration funds. Program efficiency in terms of task delegation was quite good, although not optimal. Program effectiveness/relevance was not yet fully effective. This evaluation showed that the authority factor greatly influenced the operation of the three indicators. The authority factor of the City Government of Semarang concerned the application of a merit system and the principle of deconcentration in monitoring, as well as special allocation funds for physical/non-physical infrastructure, including competency improvement. Factors supporting the implementation of the PONED Health Center Program found that there were aspects of stakeholder collaboration that determined the success of the program, in addition to aspects of resources, aspects of implementers' attitudes, and aspects of bureaucratic structure.

SEEKING ANSWERS IN THE SHADOWS: THE USE OF AUTO-BASED ACCOUNTS ON TWITTER/X AS A PLATFORM FOR SOCIAL Q&A

2024-04-05T08:12:16+00:00

Twitter/X has pioneered a new communication landscape through the introduction of auto-based accounts. In Indonesia, these accounts, commonly known as 'Menfess,' enable users to share anonymous messages on various topics. A significant feature of these accounts is their role in Social Q&A, acting as a platform for questioning and seeking information. This study aims to investigate how Indonesians utilize auto-based accounts for Social Q&A interactions. To achieve this goal, a qualitative approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with 10 Indonesian youths aged between 18 and 25 years. The findings reveal that these accounts have evolved from mere channels for anonymous confessions to sophisticated forums for engagement and knowledge sharing, particularly among users discussing sensitive topics. A key observation is the strategic use of auto-based accounts, which not only broadens user perspectives but also amplifies their confidence. However, it is also noted that users predominantly seek information that aligns with their pre-existing views, a behavior indicative of confirmation bias. This tendency shapes their interactions with media and the assessment of source credibility. The study underscores the need for further exploration into how these accounts play a supportive role in helping users navigate through their states of cognitive dissonance.

ISLAMIC POPULISM AND INDONESIAN DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT: REFLECTIONS FROM THE 2019 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

2024-04-24T06:07:15+00:00

This research reveals that the reflection of the 2019 presidential election, the Islamic populism movement, which is only considered a threat (destructive) to Indonesian democracy, is an inappropriate view; Islamic populism must also be seen as a constructive political movement, as a form of demand for justice and welfare of the majority population. This attitude is part of the control of the democratic system, which is based on considerations of sociological and historical aspects that the majority of the Indonesian population adheres to Islam. Responding to Islamic populism in Indonesia must be done by fully understanding the meaning of democracy and the values in Pancasila and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Because ideally every political movement that provides a critical attitude must be interpreted as part of democratic dynamics.
