Historical areas that support tourism activities will always adapt to match the complexity of tourism needs in the last few decades. The uniqueness of Kotagede is that there are traditional settlements of silver craftsmen's (Javanese: Abdi Dalem Kriya). The history of silver craftsmen's settlement has been formed since the Dutch colonial era and has survived until now as a characteristic of Kotagede. Silver craftsmen in Kotagede have a dilemma to survive for SMEs home-based or adapt to sell products to a larger scale industry. The research objectives are to determine whether or not there is a change in the settlement function caused by the silver home-based industry activities and to what extent the change has occurred. The method used is a quantitative method with a positivistic paradigm and uses descriptive analysis for data interpretation. Statistical data analysis used multivariate linear regression (SPSS V26). In this study, it was found that there was an effect of Silver home-based Industry Activities on change in residential space function with the low significance of 25.6 % while 74.4 % was thought to be influenced by other activities outside the research model. Partially, the highest variable effect on settlement changes is production activities that can be found in Purbayan and Prenggan Village. With the low significant impact results on settlement changes, It is hoped that the silver production activities (home-based industry) have the potential to be promoted as part of the survivability concept of tourism in Kotagede by advancing SMEs itself.

Cepu Block located between Centre Jawa and East Java. It is known as a rich block because it has a source of oil and gas. Block Cepu, where geographically located between three districts, Blora (Centre Java), Bojonegoro and Tuban (East Java) has given a contribution to national budget (APBN) and respected local government budget (APBD). About 33 per cent of the land of Cepu Block is owned by Blora, 67 per cent owned by Bojonegoro and the rest is owned by Tuban. Ironically, however, although 33 per cent of the Block belongs to Blora, the district does not receive any financial income from the oil exploration. There is no resources share fund from Cepu Block. Moreover, the district has to deal with the negative impacts of exploration activities at the Block Cepu such as damaging of infrastructure, environmental pollution, and social disturbance. Blora District has protested to Centre Government, but so far there is no outcome. Centre Government asked that this problem should be studied first. The central government argue that if it is approved, then there will be domino impact: other districts will do the same like Blora. Blora district is struggling to get equality in resources share fund (dana bagi hasil). Efforts have done, seminars and workshops, lobby to DPD (Upper House) to find a solution. Now the district government is proposing judicial review to constitution court. This research examines the history of Block Cepu. It reveals the history of the block from the colonial era up to the reformation era. Further, the research aims to know how the tension between local government (Blora Government) and central government regarding Blok Cepu oil exploration. The research suggests that there is injustice in the distribution of revenue from the exploration and it is understandable if Blora district government struggle to get proportional revenue sharing.

This chapter examines the complicated history of Zainichi, Korean residents in Japan, who came to Japan during the colonial era. After 1945, Zainichi lost all citizenship rights and had to fight for many rights, but the division in the Korean peninsula cast a shadow over Zainichi communities, hampering effective activism for more rights in Japan. Focusing on the issue of fingerprinting—the most salient example of rights violations against Zainichi—the chapter demonstrates how, since the late 1970s, global human rights principles have enabled Zainichi to recast their movement as claims for universal rights regardless of citizenship and to use international forums to pressure the Japanese government, leading to the abolition of the fingerprinting practice. Zainichi achieved similar successes in other areas of rights except for political rights, where international norms do not clearly support suffrage for noncitizens. Zainichi also contributed to global human rights by advancing rights for noncitizen minorities.

Sustainable development is among the foremost ideas that guide societal aspirations around the world. This book interrogates the concept through a critical lens, examining both its history and the trajectory of its manifestations in the Brazilian Amazon. The book argues that sustainable development is a concept that is better understood as involving embroilments and ongoing processes of contestation rather than a single end goal. The research offers historical analysis of Amazonian development from the colonial era into the discourse and praxis of sustainable development in contemporary times, and then illustrates the tensions of sustainable development plans that are experienced by people living in the areas geographically the closest to where those plans are being implemented. The history of the Brazilian Amazon is introduced to readers through focused discussions on the tensions between making grand plans for the region and the everyday practices and experiences of sustainable development, which involve considerably more muddling. Case studies explore agrarian reform initiatives that occur alongside road paving projects, the creation of extractive reserves and conservation areas that follow in the wake of assassinations, and the construction of a massive hydroelectric dam. While Amazonian sustainable development is a widely-accepted imperative, the research presented here shows how land use and infrastructure plans conducted in the name of sustainable development often perpetuate and reinforce economic and political inequalities.

This chapter details how slavery, segregation, and racism impacted the educational experiences of African Americans from the colonial era to the present. It offers a historical overview of the African American educational experience and uses archival data and secondary source analysis to illustrate that America has yet to be a truly post-slavery and post-segregation society, let alone a post-racial society.

Background: Breast cancer is today a global health problem. With 1,671,149 new cases diagnosed in 2012, it is the most common female cancer in the world and accounts for 11.9% of all cancers and it affects more people than prostate cancer. In 2008, The United States statistics showed that, for all cancer that affect women before 40 years, more than 40% of them concerned the breast. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, histopathological and therapeutic aspects of breast cancer in women under 40 years of age in Yaoundé.Methods: This was a retrospective study with data collected from 192 medical case files of women treated over a period of 12 years, from January 2004 to December 2015 at the Yaounde General Hospital and the Yaounde Gyneco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital. Microsoft Epi Info version 3.4.5 and SPSS version 20.0 softwares were used for data analysis.Results: From 2004 to 2015, 1489 cases of breast cancer were treated in both hospitals. Of these, 462 women were less than 40 years old, representing a proportion of 31.0%. The mean age at diagnosis was 33.5±5.0 years and 17.7% of women had a family history of breast cancer. The average time before an initial consultation was 6.7±6.6 months.  Most cases were classified as T4 (46.1%). The most common histological type was ductal carcinoma (87.4%). Grades SBR II and SBR III were predominant (76.4%). Axillary dissection (64.4%) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (43.9%) were the main therapeutic modalities. The overall survival rate at 5 years was 51.2%. Five-year survival rates with no local recurrence and no metastatic occurrence were 35.8% and 43.2% respectively.Conclusions: Breast cancer largely affects women under the age of 40 and is often discovered late, at an advanced stage. The prognosis appears poor. Only screening could facilitate diagnosis at an early stage of the disease for better outcomes.

This article provides a history of three pharmaceuticals in the making of modern South Africa. Borrowing and adapting Arthur Daemmrich’s term ‘pharmacopolitics’, we examine how forms of pharmaceutical governance became integral to the creation and institutional practices of this state. Through case studies of three medicaments: opium (late 19th to early 20th century), thalidomide (late 1950s to early 1960s) and contraception (1970s to 2010s), we explore the intertwining of pharmaceutical regulation, provision and consumption. Our focus is on the modernist imperative towards the rationalisation of pharmaceutical oversight, as an extension of the state’s bureaucratic and ideological objectives, and, importantly, as its obligation. We also explore adaptive and illicit uses of medicines, both by purveyors of pharmaceuticals, and among consumers. The historical sweep of our study allows for an analysis of continuities and changes in pharmaceutical governance. The focus on South Africa highlights how the concept of pharmacopolitics can usefully be extended to transnational—as well as local—medical histories. Through the diversity of our sources, and the breadth of their chronology, we aim to historicise modern pharmaceutical practices in South Africa, from the late colonial era to the Post-Apartheid present.

<p class="06IsiAbstrak">The modern western perspective initiated by the renaissance and the enlightenment century successfully couped the reality of God. This was carried out by some western intellectuals and thinkers, which ultimately gave obscurity to the human concept. The obscurity of this concept then has implications for the meaning of the progress of human civilization. This further gives serious problems to almost the entire social order.   Husain's struggle as the eternal history of humanity interpreted through Hermeneutics Scheleiermacher provides another perspective on human concepts and the progress of civilization. The monotheistic values they contain glance at the sides of spirituality as a measure of the progress of civilization. From it the definition of civilization gained new space and paved the way for human potentials that were inherently the cornerstone of the progress of civilization. This paper tries to uncover the values of Imam Husain's struggle in Karbala which is interpreted through Schleiermacher's psychological and grammatical interpretation and contextualizes it with the concept of Coomaraswamy spiritual civilization, as a foundation for the meaning of civilization using historical and descriptive analysis methods. So that the paradigm of the progress of civilization gets an alternative new perspective, and spirituality can be used as a measure of the progress of civilization.</p>

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Vaginal discharge [VD] is the most common gynecologic complaint in children. The causes vary from being physiological to sexually transmitted diseases. The anatomy and physiology of the vulva and vagina and the vaginal flora influence the causes to some extent. As the above factors vary as the child grows, the etiology varies too. At any age, VD is responsible for a significant morbidity. Hence enumerating the causes and identifying the common causes in specific age groups will help in development of preventive measures and early appropriate treatment. The aim of the study was to enumerate the cause of VD in children attending the OPD at Government Royapettah Hospital and to find out the causes of VD in specific age groups less than 2 year, 2-9 years and 9-14 years.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">A retrospective analysis of twenty girls less than 14 years of age with VD details were collected from the STI cards of twenty children in the age group upto 14 years, with vaginal discharge, who attended the STI clinic at GRH, KMC will be selected and their symptoms, clinical examination findings, results of relevant investigations noted from their hospital records. Children with HIV infection, immunosuppression due to juvenile diabetes mellitus/ malignancy and history of sexual abuse will be excluded. The results tabulated and a descriptive analysis done to find out the most common aetiology in different age groups in children. Descriptive analysis was applied to analyse the results</span>.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Out of the twenty children studied 40, 10, 50 percent of the girls were in group A, B and C respectively. Youngest child was 6 months old and oldest was 14 years.  In 10% of girls the incidence of VD was physiological and in 90% it was due to pathological causes. In 50% of children the causative agent could be demonstrated by laboratory investigations. Candida was the commonest agent demonstrated in 25% of girls studied. In 35% cases the cause was unidentifiable. Bacterial, parasitic and dermatological causes constituted to 10%, 15%, 10% of aetiology of VD respectively. In one child [5%] who had genital psoriasis, the clinical features of candidal infection was negative.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Aetiological diagnosis was very important in children with VD. Not all VD in children are infective and hence anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents should not be prescribed without adequate clinical and or microbiological evidence. Pin worm infestation should be considered as a cause of VD in girls with perianal excoriation and nocturnal worsening of symptoms.</span></p><p> </p>
