Phenomenology, initially, is a philosophy made popular by Edmund Husserl. Phenomenology, in essential, taught people to interact and learn more from phenomenon so that the meaning of reality, and the natural essence of reality, could be grasped by the observer. Phenomenology today develops as one of fundamental research method whose assumptions respect human uniqueness and subjective experiences. Phenomenon as experienced consciously by human was analyzed by two descriptions: textual description and scriptural description.

Background: The emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI) will probably affect the practice for the next generation of doctors. However, the students' views on AI have not been largely investigated. Methods: An anonymous electronic survey on AI was designed for medical and dental students to explore: (1) sources of information about AI, (2) AI applications and concerns, (3) AI status as a topic in medicine, and (4) students' feelings and attitudes. The questionnaire was advertised on social media platforms in 2020. Security measures were employed to prevent fraudulent responses. Mann-Whitney U -test was employed for all comparisons. A sensitivity analysis was also performed by binarizing responses to express disagreement and agreement using the Chi-squared test. Results: Three thousand one hundred thirty-three respondents from 63 countries from all continents were included. Most respondents reported having at least a moderate understanding of the technologies underpinning AI and of their current application, with higher agreement associated with being male ( p < 0.0001), tech-savvy ( p < 0.0001), pre-clinical student ( p < 0.006), and from a developed country ( p < 0.04). Students perceive AI as a partner rather than a competitor (72.2%) with a higher agreement for medical students ( p = 0.002). The belief that AI will revolutionize medicine and dentistry (83.9%) with greater agreement for students from a developed country ( p = 0.0004) was noted. Most students agree that the AI developments will make medicine and dentistry more exciting (69.9%), that AI shall be part of the medical training (85.6%) and they are eager to incorporate AI in their future practice (99%). Conclusion: Currently, AI is a hot topic in medicine and dentistry. Students have a basic understanding of AI principles, a positive attitude toward AI and would like to have it incorporated into their training.

BACKGROUND: An infodemic is an overflow of information of varying quality that surges across digital and physical environments during an acute public health event. It leads to confusion, risk-taking, and behaviors that can harm health and lead to erosion of trust in health authorities and public health responses. Owing to the global scale and high stakes of the health emergency, responding to the infodemic related to the pandemic is particularly urgent. Building on diverse research disciplines and expanding the discipline of infodemiology, more evidence-based interventions are needed to design infodemic management interventions and tools and implement them by health emergency responders. OBJECTIVE: The World Health Organization organized the first global infodemiology conference, entirely online, during June and July 2020, with a follow-up process from August to October 2020, to review current multidisciplinary evidence, interventions, and practices that can be applied to the COVID-19 infodemic response. This resulted in the creation of a public health research agenda for managing infodemics. METHODS: As part of the conference, a structured expert judgment synthesis method was used to formulate a public health research agenda. A total of 110 participants represented diverse scientific disciplines from over 35 countries and global public health implementing partners. The conference used a laddered discussion sprint methodology by rotating participant teams, and a managed follow-up process was used to assemble a research agenda based on the discussion and structured expert feedback. This resulted in a five-workstream frame of the research agenda for infodemic management and 166 suggested research questions. The participants then ranked the questions for feasibility and expected public health impact. The expert consensus was summarized in a public health research agenda that included a list of priority research questions. RESULTS: The public health research agenda for infodemic management has five workstreams: (1) measuring and continuously monitoring the impact of infodemics during health emergencies; (2) detecting signals and understanding the spread and risk of infodemics; (3) responding and deploying interventions that mitigate and protect against infodemics and their harmful effects; (4) evaluating infodemic interventions and strengthening the resilience of individuals and communities to infodemics; and (5) promoting the development, adaptation, and application of interventions and toolkits for infodemic management. Each workstream identifies research questions and highlights 49 high priority research questions. CONCLUSIONS: Public health authorities need to develop, validate, implement, and adapt tools and interventions for managing infodemics in acute public health events in ways that are appropriate for their countries and contexts. Infodemiology provides a scientific foundation to make this possible. This research agenda proposes a structured framework for targeted investment for the scientific community, policy makers, implementing organizations, and other stakeholders to consider.

BACKGROUND: Vaccines are effective and reliable public health interventions against viral outbreaks and pandemics. However, hesitancy regarding the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine is evident worldwide. Therefore, understanding vaccination-related behavior is critical in expanding the vaccine coverage to flatten the infection curve. This study explores the public perception regarding COVID-19 vaccination and identifies factors associated with vaccine hesitancy among the general adult populations in six Southeast Asian countries. METHODS: Using a snowball sampling approach, we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study among 5260 participants in Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam between February and May 2021. Binary logistic regression analysis with a backward conditional approach was applied to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. RESULTS: Of the total, 50.6% were female, and the median age was 30 years (range: 15-83 years). The majority of the participants believed that vaccination effectively prevents and controls COVID-19 (81.2%), and 84.0% would accept COVID-19 vaccines when they become available. They agreed that health providers' advice (83.0%), vaccination convenience (75.6%), and vaccine costs (62.8%) are essential for people to decide whether to accept COVID-19 vaccines. About half (49.3%) expressed their hesitancy to receive the COVID-19 vaccines. After adjustment for other covariates, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was significantly associated with age, residential area, education levels, employment status, and family economic status. Participants from Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam were significantly more likely to express hesitancy in receiving COVID-19 vaccines than those from Philippines. CONCLUSIONS: In general, participants in this multi-country study showed their optimistic perception of COVID-19 vaccines' effectiveness and willingness to receive them. However, about half of them still expressed their hesitancy in getting vaccinated. The hesitation was associated with several socioeconomic factors and varied by country. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination programs should consider these factors essential for increasing vaccine uptake in the populations.

Sumber daya manusia merupakan aset utama dalam membangun suatu bangsa. Ketersediaan sumber daya alam (natural resources) yang melimpah dan adanya sumber daya modal serta teknologi yang semakin canggih, tidak akan mempunyai kontribusi yang bernilai tambah, tanpa didukung oleh adanya sumber daya manusia (human resources) yang berkualitas. Dengan demikian, peningkatan kualitas suatu bangsa sesungguhnya bertumpu pada peningkatan kualitas sumber manusianya, dan hanya akan dapat dicapai salah satunya melalui penekanan pada pentingnya pendidikan. Ini artinya pendidikan mempunyai kontribusi yang sangat berharga dan signifikan dalam meningkatkan kualitas suatu bangsa, tentunya juga bagi bangsa Indonesia. Untuk mengoptimalkan kontribusi pendidikan tersebut terhadap peningkatan kualitas bangsa ini, semua pihak (stakeholders) mempunyai kontribusi yang penting termasuk pengelola pendidikan itu sendiri, pihak swasta, pemerintah, dan masyarakat pada umumnya. Dalam hal pengelola pendidikan selayaknya industri pendidikan harus dipandang sebagai noble industry (industri mulia) yang harus dikelola secara profesional, dengan berorientasi pada kualitas pendidikan dan sesuai dengan tujuan mulia pendidikan itu sendiri, yaitu untuk menciptakan manusia yang bermartabat dan berakhlak mulia. Pemerintah di sisi lain harus mempunyai komitmen kesungguhan untuk berpihak pada peningkatan kualitas pendidikan, demikian pula dengan masyarakat harus menyadari akan kontribusi pendidikan bagi kemajuan dan kemakmuran masa depan bangsa ini, agar menjadi bangsa yang lebih maju.

Background Mass vaccination campaigns have significantly reduced the COVID-19 burden. However, vaccine hesitancy has posed significant global concerns. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics that influence perceptions of COVID-19 vaccine efficacy, acceptability, hesitancy and decision making to take vaccine among general adult populations in a variety of socioeconomic and cultural contexts. Methods Using a snowball sampling approach, we conducted an online cross-sectional study in 20 countries across four continents from February to May 2021. Results A total of 10,477 participants were included in the analyses with a mean age of 36±14.3 years. The findings revealed the prevalence of perceptions towards COVID-19 vaccine’s effectiveness (78.8%), acceptance (81.8%), hesitancy (47.2%), and drivers of vaccination decision-making (convenience [73.3%], health providers’ advice [81.8%], and costs [57.0%]). The county-wise distribution included effectiveness (67.8–95.9%; 67.8% in Egypt to 95.9% in Malaysia), acceptance (64.7–96.0%; 64.7% in Australia to 96.0% in Malaysia), hesitancy (31.5–86.0%; 31.5% in Egypt to 86.0% in Vietnam), convenience (49.7–95.7%; 49.7% in Austria to 95.7% in Malaysia), advice (66.1–97.3%; 66.1% in Austria to 97.3% in Malaysia), and costs (16.0–91.3%; 16.0% in Vietnam to 91.3% in Malaysia). In multivariable regression analysis, several socio-demographic characteristics were identified as associated factors of outcome variables including, i) vaccine effectiveness: younger age, male, urban residence, higher education, and higher income; ii) acceptance: younger age, male, urban residence, higher education, married, and higher income; and iii) hesitancy: male, higher education, employed, unmarried, and lower income. Likewise, the factors associated with vaccination decision-making including i) convenience: younger age, urban residence, higher education, married, and lower income; ii) advice: younger age, urban residence, higher education, unemployed/student, married, and medium income; and iii) costs: younger age, higher education, unemployed/student, and lower income. Conclusions Most participants believed that vaccination would effectively control and prevent COVID-19, and they would take vaccinations upon availability. Determinant factors found in this study are critical and should be considered as essential elements in developing COVID-19 vaccination campaigns to boost vaccination uptake in the populations.

Symbolic interaction focuses on ‘interpretation’ over subjective meaning derived from interaction of people with the others of his/her environment. As stated clearly in its name, symbolic interaction emphasized a close relationship an exchange between symbol and interaction. These exchanges produced special meanings and interpretations, unique for each person involved. Symbolic is derived from the word ‘symbol’ which means signs resulted from consensus. Symbolic Interaction tried to ‘entering’ meaning process and subject defining by employing participant observation to watch carefully how subject define themselves and their actions respectfully, based on definitions and meanings given by others in their environment.

Hand gesture recognition is considered important with development technology in industry 4.0 in Human-Computer-Interactions (HCI) which gives computers the competence to capture and interpret hand gestures the executing command without touching devices physically. The MediaPipe is present as a framework built-in machine learning that has a solution for a hand gesture recognition system. In this research, we develop a simple user guide application using the MediaPipe framework. The user guide is commonly known as documentation about technical communication or a manual in a certain system to assist people. The user guide has step-by-step descriptions about handling a particular system and helps the user deal with user frustration by giving them the means to be identified, understand, and disentangle technical problems that frequently occurred by themselves. In our experiment, we captured a real-time image using Kinect, then trained a variety of hand gesture data, identified each hand gesture, and recognized hand gestures to convey information based on hand gestures in the system user guide application. The user can archive information user guide based on hand gestures that have been recognized. We proposed using hand gesture recognition using MediaPipe in our application to improve the convenience of utilization the user guide application and change user guide application that is still manual become a more interactive application.

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is one of the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Metastasis in BC is caused by immunosurveillance deficiency, such NK cell maturation, low NK activity and decreasing cytotoxicity. This study was performed to improve activating receptors and cytotoxicity of NK cells using interleukins (ILs). METHODS: Human recombinant IL-2, -15, and -18 were used to induce NK cells. We measured the activating and inhibiting receptors, proliferation activity of NK cells, and the cytotoxicity of NK cells on BC cells (MCF7). The effects of ILs were tested on the NK cell receptors CD314, CD158a and CD107a with flowcytometry, proliferation at various incubation times with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxy methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay and concentrations of TNF-α and IFN-γ by NK cells with ELISA. RESULTS: ILs increased NK cell receptor levels (CD314, CD158a, and CD107a) at 24 hours of incubation. ILs increased NK cell viability, which increased with longer incubation. Moreover, ILs-induced NK cells inhibited proliferation in MCF7 cells, as well as increased TNF-α, IFN-γ, PRF1 and GzmB secretion. CONCLUSION: IL-2, IL-15, and IL-18 improved activating receptors and proliferation of NK cells. IL-induced NK cells increased TNF-α, IFN-γ, PRF1 and GzmB secretion and cytotoxic activity on BC cells. High NK cell numbers increased BC cell growth inhibition.

Maqashid Syari'ah merupakan tujuan-tujuan umum yang ingin diraih oleh syariah dan diwujudkan dalam kehidupan. Maqashid Syariah salah satu konsep penting dalam kajian hukum Islam. Betapa pentingnya maqashid syari'ah tersebut, para ahli teori hukum menjadikan maqashid syari'ah sebagai ilmu yang harus dipahami oleh mujtahid yang melakukan ijtihad. Adapun inti dari teori maqashid syari’ah adalah untuk jalb al-masahalih wa daf’u al-mafasid atau mewujudkan kebaikan sekaligus menghindarkan keburukan, menarik manfaat dan menolak madharat. Maka istilah yang sepadan dengan inti dari maqashid syari’ah tersebut adalah maslahah (maslahat). Maqashid Syari’ah tidak lahir secara tiba-tiba di dunia dan menjadi sebuah ilmu seperti saat ini, tetapi ia juga melewati fase-fase. Untuk lebih memudahkan dalam melihat fase perkembangan ini, maka akan dibagi menjadi dua fase; fase pra kodifikasi, dan fase kodifikasi. Dalam sistem ekonomi yang hendak dibangun. Sistem ekonomi dikatakan sukses berjalan apabila bisa mensejahterakan masyarakatnya dan masyarakat dikatakan sejahtera apabila kebutuhan dasarnya tersebut terpenuhi.

Lahirnya bank syariah ditujukan untuk mencapai dan mewujudkan kesejahteraan umat secara luas dunia dan akhirat. Dengan mengacu pada tujuan utama ini, istilah Maqashid Syari’ah menjadi sandaran utama dalam setiap pengembangan operasional dan produk-produk yang ada di bank syariah. Oleh karena itu, semua pihak yang bekerja dalam bidang perbankan syariah harus bisa memahami betul apa dan bagaimana praktik dari prinsip maqashid syariah.

The COVID-19 pandemics caused an unprecedented mortality, distress, and globally poses a challenge to mental resilience. To our knowledge, this is the first study that aimed to investigate the psychological distress among the adult general population across 13 countries. This cross-sectional study was conducted through online survey by recruiting 7091 respondents. Psychological distress was evaluated with COVID-19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI). The crude prevalence of psychological distress due to COVID-19 is highest in Vietnam, followed by Egypt, and Bangladesh. Through Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis, the respondents from Vietnam holds the highest level of distress, while the respondents from Sri Lanka holds the lowest level of distress with reference to Nepal.Female respondents had higher odds of having reported psychological distress, and those with tertiary education were less likely to report psychological distress compared to those with lower level of education. The findings indicate that psychological distress is varies across different countries. Therefore, different countries should continue the surveillance on psychological consequences through the COVID-19 pandemic to monitor the burden and to prepare for the targeted mental health support interventions according to the need. The coping strategies and social support should be provided especially to the lower educational attainment group.

According to Hofstede, there are many approach to define culture: (1) culture as symbols; (2) culture as expressed by heroes; (3) culture as rituals; and (4) culture as a set of values. There are also many ways to investigate culture from communication perspective—ethnography of communication is one of them. Based on Lindlof and Taylor definition about ethnography of communication, this article outlined many issues from the definition of ethnography to methods, perspective and analysis unit. Ethnography of communication is a unique method of communication research that could be applied in many communication activities.
