A History of the Case Study represents a critical intervention into contemporary debate concerning the construction of knowledge which – after Michel Foucault’s elaborations on modern discourses of power – considers the medical case study in particular as an expression of new forms of disciplinary authority. This volume scrutinises the changing status of the human case study, that is, the medical, legal or literary case study that places an individual at its centre. With close reference to the dawning of ‘sexual modernity’ during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and to ideas about sexual identity in the period immediately before and after the fin de siècle, the following chapters examine the case writing practices of selected pioneers of the case study genre....

This study aims to find the effectiveness of coloring art therapy against depression in a teenage girl in Yogyakarta. The hypothesis in this study is that there is a difference in the level of depression of the research subject before and after being given coloring art therapy. The level of depression after coloring art therapy was lower than before coloring art therapy. The sample in this study was a 13-year-old girl in Yogyakarta who had a history of being away from her parents and experienced moderate-severe depression. Coloring art therapy is given individually, twice, using drawing art media and markers. The subject’s depression level was measured using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) II scale from initial to final measurements. This study used one research subject with a single one-shot case study pre-experimental design. The data were analyzed by using visual inspection and qualitative analysis. The results of this study indicate that coloring art therapy is effective in reducing depression in young women.Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas terapi seni mewarnai terhadap depresi pada remaja putri di Yogyakarta. Hipotesis dalam penelitian ini adalah ada perbedaan tingkat depresi subjek antara sebelum diberikan terapi seni mewarnai dengan setelah terapi seni mewarnai. Tingkat depresi setelah terapi seni mewarnai lebih rendah dibanding sebelum terapi seni mewarnai.  Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah remaja putri di Yogyakarta yang berusia 13 tahun, memiliki riwayat pernah berjauhan dari orangtua dan mengalami depresi sedang-berat. Terapi seni mewarnai ini diberikan secara individual, dua kali, menggunakan media seni gambar dan spidol. Depresi subjek diukur dengan menggunakan skala Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) II dari pengukuran awal sampai akhir. Penelitian ini menggunakan 1 subjek penelitian dengan desain pre-eksperimen single one shot case study. Data analisis dengan inspeksi visual dan analisa kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terapi seni mewarnai efektif dalam menurunkan depresi pada remaja putri.

Accurate and the efficient rapid mapping of the fire-damaged areas are the most fundamental things for any places to retain from environmental loss. To support the fire management, make definite strategy and planning, and restore the vegetation, it is important to detect the area before and after the fire damages. Under climate change conditions, heat and drought may trigger tough fire regimes in terms of number and dimension of fires. To deliver the rapid information of the area damaged by the fires, Burned Area Index (BAI), Normalized Burned Ratio (NBR) and their versions are applied to map burned areas from high-resolution optical satellite data. The new MSI sensor aboard Sentinel-2 satellites records the more spectral information in the red edge spectral region making it more convenient to the development of new indices for the burned area mapping. Recently, Australia had confronted a devastating bushfire recorded in the history of the nation. In this project, NBR deployed to detect burned areas at around 10m-20m spatial resolution based on pre and post-fire Sentinel-2 images. A dNBR (differentiated Normalized Burned Ratio) was calculated while burn severity was mapped as purposed by United States Geological Survey (USGS). It observed that more than half of the East Gippsland region i.e. about 53% of the area affected by the wildfire while 38% remained unburned and 8.4% showed the regrowth.

Abstract In this article, the authors introduce “The Black Archives”—an alternative archive consisting of more than 8,000 books, official documents and artefacts. The archive is a critical intervention, challenging dominant historical narratives, which tend to downplay histories of colonialism, slavery and their legacy. The authors explore how archival research and art can be used to make visible the histories that have been marginalised in dominant historical narratives. This is done with a case study: an exhibition based on archival research on two Black radicals, Hermina and Otto Huiswoud. The research reveals the history of the black and Surinamese activism in the Netherlands which intersects with global histories of the black radicalism.

This volume delineates the changing forms of the case study across disciplines and decades, mapping circuits of knowledge through which the sexed and gendered human subject became a persistently urgent topic of enquiry in the Western world. A History of the Case Study presents an analysis of case writing about the human subject from a critical juncture in its formation in the second half of the nineteenth century, when, as claimed by Michel Foucault, sexuality came to be regarded as a conceptual part of human nature. According to Foucault’s famous dictum, notions of sexuality ‘organized sex as a “fictitious unity”’ of distinct parts and functions, feelings and behaviours; new categories for describing and policing sex produced a new object of enquiry....

Based on this study it can be concluded that the attitude does not affect to the intention of choose Bank BRISyariah. Subjective norm positive effect on intention choose Bank BRISyariah. Control behavior does not affect to the intention choose Bank BRISyariah. Relationship between Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Behavior Control with the intention to select Bank BRISyariah not moderated by religiosity.Based on these conclusions can be said that the Bank BRISyariah should improve understanding related to the subjective norm in order to increase the number of customers who use the services of Islamic Banking .

This chapter explores movement and circulation across the Mediterranean and seeks to contribute to a history of proto-nationalism in the Maghrib and the Middle East at a particular moment prior to World War I. The discussion is particularly concerned with the interface of two Mediterranean spaces: the Middle East (Egypt, Ottoman Empire) and North Africa (Morocco), where the latter is viewed as a case study where resistance movements sought external allies as a way of compensating for their internal weakness. Applying methods developed by Subaltern Studies, and linking macro-historical approaches, namely of a translocal movement in the Muslim Mediterranean, it explores how the Egypt-based society, al-Ittihad al-Maghribi, through its agent, Aref Taher, used the press as an instrument for political propaganda, promoting its Pan-Islamic programme and its goal of uniting North Africa.
