The Impact

Film festival is a place to convey specific film for specific purposes. Festival nowadays were broaden their medium, not only on screen but also involved more audience with new technology mobile devices. As the longest running documentary film festival in Indonesia, Festival Film Dokumenter (FFD) have been concern about the impact of film screenings to the audience. Since 2016, FFD have been intend to using several medium to convey disability rights awareness. FFD conducted the program Virtual Reality (2016) and The Feelings of Reality (2018). Both of those program were using Virtual Reality (VR) technology during the festival showcase. In 2016 program, the audience even placed in the replica setting to have a similar situation with people with epilepsy.  VR is the new attempt to brings the new documentary experience. This technology lead the impression of reality to the audience. VR known as a device that can enhance the audience cinematic experience. In documentary filmmaking, which always closely associated with the depiction of reality - in a way, the VR technology can provide different perspective on perceiving documentary. In documentary screenings, VR have a powerful strength on bringing the reliable reality which closer to the audience.  Festival offers the discourse on watching the documentary into experiencing the documentary using VR. This paper will discuss about how festival provide alternative medium to present disability issue to the public. Vice versa, how audience raised their awareness through VR technology. This study conducted in qualitative impact study that focused on in-depth interview with both festival organizer/programmer and audience. This study found out that VR technology identically constructed the reality. This method is the most effective way to  raising the awareness because people would feel how to live with disability closely and clearly. Rather than just watching a film, experiencing disability through VR prove a different impression to the audience. By presenting the actual condition of people with disability, VR succeed to give more heightened impact and awareness on this issue.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to determine whether the partial relocation of Hazaribagh tanneries has any effect on the area’s soil quality with respect to chromium and to determine a possible link between human exposure/diseases to chromium, with the focus being placed on children and vulnerable population. Methodology: Geochemical sampling and public health research related to fieldwork (Focus Group Discussions, two In-Depth Interview, and Key Informant Interview). Main Findings: The study indicates that there is a significant presence of chromium in the area’s soil two years following the partial relocation of Hazaribagh tanneries. Flu-like symptoms, generalized skin rash, and fertility issues are common in the vulnerable population. The residents are ignorant, belong to the marginalized section of the society, and do not fully comprehend of the impact of environmental exposure to chromium. Applications of this study: The geochemical data may be used to identify in situ treatment technologies for remediation of the area’s soil. The public health data will allow health policymakers to generate ideas and implement solutions to one of the greatest health challenges faced by the impacted population. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study is multidisciplinary by nature and employs science and technology to systematically develop an insight into the environmental contamination resulting from the release of untreated effluent and solid waste containing chromium.

In this article we focus on identifying the specificity of digital transformation within the public sector. The aim of the article is to present the main mechanisms resulting from the introduction of digital innovations that have changed the functioning of the public sector. Starting from a discussion on the technological requirements of digital transformation, we briefly characterise the use of computers and the Internet in public administration, resulting in the development of e-services and administration. The main part of the article is devoted to discussing the specificity of the implementation of the new digital technologies in public administration, focusing mainly on artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. Our thesis is that the impact of innovative digital technologies on the operation standards and structure of public administration should be analysed through the prism of interrelated mechanisms of datafication and platformisation, characteristic for the digital economy. The adopted methodology, which is based on an analysis of the subject literature and an analysis of new technology implementations in public administration in EU countries, indicates the pilot, random and non-transformational nature of these implementations, partly due to the lack of well-established methodologies to study and assess the maturity of digital transformation within the public sector.

Green Burial

Population projections for Hong Kong suggest that the city will accommodate 8.22 million people in 2043. One in every three people are expected to be older than 65 in 2066. The long-held Chinese traditions for burial of deceased with reverence and honour, coupled with the chronic land shortage have presented an excessive demand for cemetery space. Niches are seldom recycled and the inadequate supply of new columbarium niche requires the family of the deceased to consider alternative way for keeping cremated ashes. To ease the demand, “green burial” has been launched and promoted by the HKSAR government through different print and social media. Currently, scattering of cremains in Gardens of Remembrance or at sea are the two common ways to perform green burial. The public acceptance of green burial is still a questionable and is under-researched. This study is going to deploy innovative technology, virtual reality (VR) to increase physical and psychological fidelity in highly resembled scenarios for the people. On one hand, VR gives immeasurable value to people when they are enabled to navigate different circumstances (physical fidelity) before considering the use of green burial. On the other hand, VR enables the people to engage in different mental processes (psychological fidelity) replicated from an array of cognitive reaction and sentiments with the choice of green burial. In order to optimize the configuration of the VR settings, we will conduct a face-to-face, semi-structured and in-depth interview with different practitioners. In the study, we explore: (1) To what extent the enhancement of physical fidelity of innovative technologies debunk public’s misconception of green burial? (2) To what extent the enhancement of psychological fidelity of innovative technologies debunk public’s misconception of green burial? (3) To what extent the simulated experience derived from innovation technologies change the public acceptance of green burial?

ABSTRACT    Rebranding process undertaken by LPP TVRI through its creation of new logo has been undisclosed, specifically to millennials. This research aims to perceive the information about the objective, process, and as well to analyze the impact of rebranding process through the new logo. This research utilizes a main concept about rebranding process in accordance to Ahonen, M (2008) which comprises of four stages, namely analyzing, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The method used is descriptive qualitative research. The technique used is intrinsic study case supported by data collection technique by conducting an in-depth interview, observation, and literature study. One key interviewee and four other interviewees are chosen using purposive technique. The result of this research shows that the objective of rebranding of LPP TVRI by creating a new logo is to mobilize the public perception to a positive image of corporate identity. The new logo-rebranding attempt is consisted of four stages, first is analyzing to know the state of affair of the corporate. Second, it takes planning which ensues two strategies. They are re-positioning, which it used to be merely a single platform and turns out it becomes a media that unites the multiplatform, and re-design of TVRI logo with the assistance of DMID brand consultant service. Third, implementation that can be evidenced through a show called New Logo Launching TVRI. Fourth, it ends with evaluation which has not done completely yet. The aftermath of new logo-rebranding process is to create a betterment of TVRI image, escalates the rating and numbers of audience, performance, and public perceptions. The conclusion of this research is the implementation attempted by TVRI by launching a brand-new logo is inefficacious, it hasn’t reached to all levels of population. The suggestion offered by this research is TVRI to directly involve millennials as they are the main targets of the corporate brand acknowledgement. Other than that, corporate is advised to execute a publication strategy through social media with impressive and consistent contents. Keywords:  Rebranding; Image; Logo

The purpose of this paper is to examines the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on restructuring of public service in Nigeria. The globalization policy assert that the public service of the developing countries must be restructured to comply with new technology i.e. the information and communication technology for efficiency and productivity. This is to say that the public servants must have a basic knowledge of ICT usage in their organization or otherwise they will lose their job and replace with high skilled employees. This study conducted systematic review of relevant literature on ICT and public service restructuring and come up with methodological result. The findings show that the idea of new public management (NPM) was introduced. This give emphasis on engagement of highly skilled workers that are ICT compliant will be retained into the public service to replace low skilled and manual employees. Finally, the paper recommends the need to improve service quality in public sector through the training and retraining of employees in line with new technology.

Virtual reality is the logical step that started way back in time with the appearance of the very first architectural drawing. This has been a long history of development: architectural drawings in Europe, which date back to the tenth century, were the first kind of abstraction that appeared “virtually real” to potential clients and builders—real enough to base decisions on. With the discovery of perspective techniques, drawings became more refined and developed into a form of art with numerous branches, ranging from technical drawings to presentation drawings. Wooden models appeared even before the Renaissance and were supplemented in the nineteenth century with cardboard models. Each new invention helped to improve the understanding of projects and architecture by reducing abstraction, while increasing the complexity of the representation (Schmitt, 1993). Toward the end of the twentieth century, the majority of architectural projects were and are never realized. Prominent projects, such as the new Berlin Government Centre, result in several hundred professional competition entries. With the advent of virtual reality (VR) techniques, architects will at first intensely criticise the new technology, before adopting and improving it, and they will modify it with domain specific contributions. The knowledge of architectural abstraction and simulation is useful to the further development of VR and vice versa. Today, the newest methodological and technical instruments help designers to create a more responsible architecture, many aspects of which can be experienced and tested before construction. This includes the possibility of expanding the number of senses addressed for the explanation of an architectural idea. To structure the discussion about VR in architecture, we first describe the theoretical framework, then move to the description of a Architectural Space Laboratory at the Architecture Department of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zürich, and follow this with examples of program development. We conclude with speculations on the impact of the new technology on the architecture of the future.

AbstractObjective:The objectives of this article are, first, to document a unique process of research knowledge translation (KT), which the authors describe as the creation of “ethical safe space,” and, second, to document the narratives of forum participants and describe their interaction in a dialogue about vulnerability, the authority of physicians, and the perspective of people with disabilities on the policy.Method:Narrative data from qualitative interviews with individual key informants and focus groups were used to identify speakers with specific expertise on policy, disability perspectives, and bioethical issues, who were invited to participate in the Forum on Ethical Safe Space. The planning workgroup adopted a model for enabling representative participation in the public forum designed to reduce the impact of physical, sensory, financial, language, and professional status barriers. Using the transcripts and keynote speakers' printed texts, primary themes and patterns of interaction were identified reflecting the alternative perspectives. Through the development of a workshop on ethical, legal, and disability-related implications of professional policy guidelines developed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, we provided a qualitative analysis of the discourse involving experts and disability community members supporting alternative positions on the impact of the policy statement, and discuss ethical, legal, and disability rights issues identified in the public debate.Results:Contested policy and ethical frameworks for making decisions about withdrawing and withholding life supporting treatment may influence both the perspectives of palliative care providers and patients referred to palliative care facilities. An innovative model for KT using a public forum that enabled stakeholders with conflicting perspectives to engage with ethical and professional policy issues asserting the physician's authority in contested decisions involving withdrawing or withholding life-supporting treatment, was a successful way to engage stakeholders supporting alternative positions on the impact of the policy statement and to discuss ethical, legal, and disability rights issues identified in the public debate.Significance of results:Discussion during the forum revealed several benefits of creating ethical safe space. This model of workshop allows space for participation of stakeholders, who might not otherwise be able to interact in the same forum, to articulate their perspectives and debate with other presenters and audience members. Participants at the forum spoke of the creation of ethical safe space as a starting point for more dialogue on the issues raised by the policy statement. The forum was, therefore, seen as a potential starting point for building conversation that would facilitate revising the policy with broader consultation on its legal and ethical validity.

The Impact

One of the current trends in dental education is to empower dental students on a global platform using advanced technology. Haptic virtual reality simulation (HVRS) is a relatively new technology in the field of teaching and learning operative dentistry. This study aims to assess the impact of haptic virtual reality simulation (HVRS) on dental students’ psychomotor skills acquisition in preclinical operative dentistry. Class I cavity preparations (CP) were performed at baseline by 21 novice dental students on plastic teeth. Duration of CP was recorded and cavity features were evaluated and scored. Then, students were exposed to HVRS training on CP. Another Class I CP was performed by each student on plastic teeth after HVRS training, then evaluated, and the duration was recorded. There was a statistically significant decrease in CP performance time after HVRS training (p < 0.001) and an increase in the mean total marks of CP after HVRS training (p < 0.001). The change in the students’ performance in the CP displayed a statistically significant improvement after HVRS training in smoothness of the pulpal floor (p = 0.047), pulpal floor direction (p = 0.029), buccal, lingual, and mesial wall direction (p = 0.004, p = 0.025, p = 0.002), mesial and distal wall smoothness (p = 0.01, p = 0.001), internal line angle (p = 0.024), and internal point angle (p = 0.029). Overall improved performance in psychomotor skills was found after HVRS training. It could be beneficial to incorporate HVRS training early in pre-clinical operative dentistry courses as an adjunct to conventional phantom head training.

Abstrak:Pencurian merupakan tindak pidana meresahkan masyarakat, sehingga dibutuhkan upaya preventif, dan represif, baik dari aparat kepolisian maupun kesadaran masyarakat sendiri. Upaya yang dilakukan masyarakat dusun Telaga Pange dan Telaga Pange di pulau Ambon terhadap pencurian tersebut adalah penggunaan matakao. Penelitian ini mengungkap dampak penggunaan matakao terhadap pencegahan pencurian barang masyarakat dusun Telaga Pange dan Telaga Kodok dan penggunaan matakao dianalisis dari aspek preventif dan represif terhadap pencurian dalam perspektif hukum Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan syar’i dan fenomenologis serta dianalisis secara kualitatif deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik observasi dan wawancara mendalam kepada beberapa informan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat dusun Telaga Pange dan Telaga Kodok memercayai penggunaan matakao menimbulkan efek fisik berupa rasa sakit kepada pencuri tanaman atau hewan ternak yang dipasang matakao. Matakao karimpu menimbulkan efek psikologis; pencuri kesulitan keluar dari areal tanaman atau hewan ternak yang dicurinya hingga ditemukan korban atau orang lain. Rasa sakit yang dialami pencuri akan hilang, setelah diberikan penawar, jika pencuri mengakui perbuatannya dan bertobat tak akan mencuri lagi di hadapan korban (pemilik barang). Sehingga tanaman dan hewan ternak masyarakat setempat aman dari pencurian. Karena itu, matakao berdampak positif sebagai upaya preventif sekaligus represif terhadap pencurian di dusun Telaga Pange dan Telaga Kodok. Usaha pencegahan dari pencurian itu, sejalan dengan maqashîd al-syarî`ah, sebab pencurian merupakan jarîmah hudûd dalam hukum Islam. Pengakuan pelaku pencurian pada dasarnya merupakan alat bukti yang sah dalam perspektif hukum Islam.Abstract:Theft is a criminal act of disturbing the public, so that the necessary preventive measures and repressive, including police and public awareness. Efforts are being made publics of Telaga Pange village and Telaga Kodok on the Ambon island against the theft, is the use matakao. This study reveals the impact of the use matakao, to the prevention of theft of Telaga Pange and Telaga Kodok village communities; and analyze the use matakao from preventive and repressive aspects against theft in the perspective of Islamic law. This research uses syar’i and phenomenological approachs, and analyze it qualitatively-descriptively. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interview techniques to several informants. The results showed that Telaga Pange and Telaga Kodok village community trust that matakao use of physical effects in the form of pain to the thief crops, livestock mounted submit their matakao. Matakao karimpu causes psychological effects; thieves had trouble getting out of the plant area, or livestock stolen, until it finds a victim, or others. The pain experienced thief will be lost, after being given the antidote, if the thief confess and repent will not steal again, in the presence of the victim (the owner of the goods). So that, the plants and animals of local communities, safe from theft. Matakao, therefore, have a positive impact as well as repressive preventive measures against theft, in Telaga Pange and Telaga Kodok vilage.
