The revitalization of the Old Town of Semarang is to support the Old Town as a heritage tourist destination and to overcome environmental problems such as tidal flood, slums, old buildings that are not maintained, and street vendors. Revitalization efforts have positive and negative impacts on the people in it. The positive impact caused by the existence of tourism activities in the Old Town area is the developing economy of Semarang City. While the negative impacts caused are physical, economic, and social gentrification; and affect the quality of life of local people. So it is necessary to study the relationship between gentrification and the quality of life of the community. The analysis to achieve that goal is the identification of revitalization, gentrification, and quality of life of the communities. Data collection methods were questionnaires, field observations, interviews, and document review, and also analysis techniques in the form of spatial planning. Based on the results of the study, there is relationship between gentrification and revitalization. That is, the facilities in the Old Town area cannot reach all levels of the people who live there. Besides, the presence of gentrification worsens the quality of life of local people. The government is still only focused on the physical development of the Old Town but has not considered the community's economic and social revitalization.

ABSTRACTBackground: There is little empirical research regarding the relationships between identity and well-being in people with dementia. The aim of the study was to explore the relationship of identity with mood and quality of life (QoL) in the people in the early stages of dementia.Method: This was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study. Fifty people in the early stages of dementia completed measures pertaining to different aspects of identity, mood, and QoL. Multiple regression analyses were carried out to determine whether it was possible to predict any of the variance in mood and QoL from aspects of identity.Results: It was possible to predict 12.8% of the variance in anxiety, 23.4% of the variance in depression, and 25.1% of the variance in QoL from different aspects of identity. Predictors varied for each dependent variable.Conclusions: Aspects of identity predict a modest proportion of the variance in anxiety, depression, and QoL. This suggests that supporting identity in people with dementia who are experiencing difficulties in this regard might have a positive impact on mood and QoL. However, the majority of the variance in mood and QoL must be accounted for by other variables.

Abstract The study aims to determine the positive and negative impacts after Decision Number 20 / PUU-XVII / 2019, and how efforts can be made to minimize the negative impact of Number 20 / PUU-XVII / 2019. The approach method used in this research is normative juridical and analytical descriptive, namely describing the object that is the subject matter, from this description an analysis that is adapted to existing legal theories is taken and puts the law as a norm system building. The results of this study indicate that the Decision of the Constitutional Court Number 20 / PUU-XVII / 2019, there are several positive impacts including the voters registered in the Additional Voters (DPTb) did not feel disadvantaged because to take care of the administration moved to vote can be done before 7 (seven ) voting day. The government is also considered to have escaped the accusation of being the party most responsible for the fate of millions of voters unable to take part in the election because they do not have an e-KTP to use a Certificate. In addition to having a positive impact, it also has a negative impact, among others, by loosening the additional voter registration period up to seven days before the vote count is certainly an additional heavy workload for PPS and Regency / City KPU. Regarding their incentives, if they are not considered and there are adjustments for their welfare, it will have an impact on the loyalty and quality of work of KPPS and PTPS officers. The addition of the counting time will cause a number of new vulnerabilities. The suggestion from this research is that the government can anticipate the negative impact of the MK Decision by making several alternatives that have been answered in the results of this study.Keywords: Constitutional rights, Decision of the Constitutional Court, ElectionsAbstrak Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak positif dan dampak negatif pasca Putusan Nomor 20/PUU-XVII /2019, dan bagaimana upaya agar dampak negatif dari Nomor 20/PUU-XVII/2019 dapat diminimalisir. Metode pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah yuridis normatif dan bersifat deskriptif analitis yaitu menggambarkan objek yang menjadi pokok permasalahan, dari penggambaran tersebut diambil suatu analisa yang disesuaikan dengan teori-teori hukum yang ada dan meletakan hukum sebagai sebuah bangunan sistem norma. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 20/PUU-XVII/2019 ini, ada beberapa dampak positif diantaranya adalah bagi pemilih yang terdaftar dalam Pemilih Tambahan (DPTb) tidak merasa dirugikan karena untuk mengurus administrasi pindah memilih bisa dilakukan menjelang 7 (tujuh) hari pemungutan suara. Pemerintah juga dianggap lolos dari tudingan sebagai pihak yang paling bertanggungjawab atas nasib jutaan pemilih tidak dapat mengikuti pemilu karena belum memiliki e-KTP dapat menggunakan Surat Keterangan.  Selain berdampak positif juga mempunyai dampak negatif, antara lain dengan adanya kelonggaran masa pendaftaran pemilih tambahan hingga tujuh hari menjelang penghitungan suara tentu menjadi tambahan beban pekerjaan berat bagi PPS dan KPU Kabupaten/Kota. Mengenai insentif mereka jika tidak dipikirkan dan ada penyesuaian bagi kesejahteraan mereka, maka akan berdampak terhadap loyalitas dan kualitas kerja dari petugas KPPS dan PTPS. Penambahan waktu penghitungan suara akan menimbulkan sejumlah kerawanan baru. Saran dari penelitian ini adalah agar pemerintah dapat mengantisipasi dampak negatif dari Putusan MK tersebut dengan melakukan beberapa alternatif yang sudah terjawab dalam hasil penelitian ini. Kata Kunci: Hak kontitusional, Putusan Mahkamah Kontitusi, Pemilu

The Impact

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam which has a function of faith, social and economic functions. Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources. The instrument of zakat provides a paradigm in the achievement of equitable wealth distribution and healthy circulation. Zakat potentially offers a better life and improves the quality of human being. There is a human quality improvement not only in economic terms but also in spiritual terms such as improving religiousity. This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program. Cibest model demonstrates that material, spiritual, and absolute poverty index decreased by 10, 5, and 6 per cent. Meanwhile, the welfare index is increased by 21 per cent. These findings have significant implications for developing the quality of life in disadvantaged regions in Sijunjung. Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas.

Heart failure (HF) affects more than 5 million people and has an increasing incidence and cost burden. Patients note symptoms of dyspnea and fatigue that result in a decreased quality of life, which has not drastically improved over the past decades despite advances in therapies. The assessment of exercise capacity can provide information regarding patient diagnosis and prognosis, while doubling as a potential future therapy. clinically, there is acceptance that exercise is safe in hf and can have a positive impact on morbidity and quality of life, although evidence for improvement in mortality is still lacking. specific prescriptions for exercise training have not been developed because many variables and confounding factors have prevented research trials from demonstrating an ideal regimen. Physicians are becoming more aware of the indices and goals for hf patients in exercise testing and therapy to provide comprehensive cardiac care. it is further postulated that a combination of exercise training and pharmacologic therapy may eventually provide the most benefits to those suffering from hf.
