Abstract
Since so many mishandling of medical waste in various places in Indonesia that has endangered our environment by the potential disease that easily can spread to our society , it is very important for all of us to address it on how to improve the medical waste management. There are area of improvement needed in our regulation, public policies disciplines and social awareness and especially the importance of proper handling of medical waste by the medical waste producers such as hospital, clinic and laboratories. This study is not intended to produce scientific theory but more focus on how to solve the problem of medical waste with the limit time and less costly manner or in the other words as a macro diagnosis of “the main causes of the problems” of medical waste management in Indonesia. This study has made clear conclusion that Indonesia has to follow the basic principle and guidelines of International standards and recommends improvement of the coordination between Ministry of Health and Ministry of Environment, toward “one roof policy”, “strong political will of top government to empower MOE and also Law No. 18, 2008 and Law No. 32, 2009 must be reviewed toward “Polluter pay the price” Policy. The government also must allocate sufficient fund to function as regulator and controlling body and increase social awareness for environmental health.
Key note: Medical waste, public policy, environmental health

Full textAbstract:
Interfaith marriages have long been a debated issue of marriage law in Indonesia. Since the marriage law was issued, there has been no clear legal stance governing interfaith marriage, particularly when involve Muslim/ah bride or groom. While the fact is, interfaith marriage is an unstoppable reality in the plural society. Not being recognized for its legitimacy according to Indonesian regulation makes the interfaith couples think to utilize out of the box solution that is conducting marriage overseas. The problem is whether interfaith marriages abroad can be considered legal in Indonesia and how is the registration process in Indonesia after their arrival. This study aims to explain the process of registering interfaith marriages carried out outside Indonesia after the couples return to Indonesia. The data was collected through the study of primary legal materials of Indonesian marriage laws and lower regulations. Data were also collected through interviews. This article argues that interfaith marriages are not well regulated in Indonesia. Therefore their validity cannot be justified. Interfaith marriages conducted abroad can be registered at the civil registry office. The civil registry office does not question the validity of the marriage.

Indonesia’s foreign policy is dynamic, especially in the COVID-19 Pandemic Era. When Indonesia experienced an increase in COVID-19 cases, it identified it as a foreign policy issue requiring attention. It focused on promoting national health resilience in health care as one way to protect the Indonesian state during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this paper is to explain and analyze Indonesia’s health diplomacy as an instrument of Indonesia’s foreign policy in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that, so far, the results of Indonesia’s health-focused approach are good and in line with Indonesia’s national interests. Indonesia’s active role and involvement in international forums has a diplomatic purpose but has also helped other countries. This indicates that the health diplomacy carried out by Indonesia has had a major impact on regional and global stability. In addition, Indonesia’s health diplomacy has resulted in it receiving assistance in the form of medical devices and vaccines provided by other countries for handling COVID-19 in Indonesia. Indonesia was also the driving force in the initiation in the 75th United Nations General Assembly of measures giving voice to the availability of medical devices and vaccine equality for all countries in the world.

Full textAbstract:
Background: This study aims to explore the Indonesian tourists’ demand for medical tourism services in Malaysia. The study also investigates the Indonesian medical tourists’ profiles and their preference for Malaysia for medical treatment services. Methods: This study conducted interviews with 49 potential patients from Indonesia who received cardiac treatment at the National Heart Institute (IJN) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Results: The findings indicate that the key motives of Indonesian tourists travelling to Malaysia for medical treatment are their disappointment with medical practices and inadequate expertise in Indonesia. Besides, they are motivated by peer recommendations, medical expertise, transparency, administration and hospitality in Malaysia. The study findings show that Indonesian medical tourists can be acknowledged as an elite group with stable and above-average income. Conclusion: Results from the study enable medical tourism marketers to better target and segments their potential medical tourists and develop a strategic medical tourism marketing roadmap. This study shows that the high demand for medical tourism is related to Malaysia’s availability of niche medical services. Besides, this paper expands the understanding of medical tourists’ decision-making and argues its implications for Malaysian health policy and healthcare delivery for the medical tourism industry sustainability.

Purpose: Health care equipment international trade could serve a new strategic revenue for Indonesia. Since its implementation in 2015, AFTA has been a very strategic issue in creating export opportunities for its member countries. One of the sectors that becomes a priority for ASEAN integration is in the field of medical devices which is regulated in the ASEAN Medical Device Directive (AMDD) policy. Indonesia itself has officially ratified AMDD policy since 2018, but Indonesia will have been facing the problem of quality, innovation and diversification of medical devices. This study examines the competitiveness opportunities for domestic medical devices in ASEAN Free Trade Area. Method: This study used a qualitative method where information was obtained from in-depth interviews and document review. The informants came from policy makers, implementing officers, and stakeholders. Results: Indonesia has harmonized 26 out of 31 standards mandated by AMDD. Conformity assessment bodies in Indonesia that have been certified by the National Accreditation Committee have received international recognition. Indonesia has many potential exporting innovative medical devices to ASEAN countries. Fulfillment of medical devices is carried out through compulsory licensing and parallel import mechanism.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The emerging of sex selection technology in Indonesia is sperm sorting, meanwhile sex selection with Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) methods is not widely used. The use of sperm sorting has bigger chance to fail than PGD, thus potentially cause ethical and legal problems that is selective abortion during pregnancy. The potency for selective abortion is enlarged by Indonesian law that permitting sex selection without distinction of medical and non-medical reasons. There is no special policy to regulate the selective abortion because of sex selection failure. Aims: This study aims to find out the legal concept of selective abortion after preimplantation sex selection that appropriate to be applied in Indonesia.Methods: This research is normative research that use analytics method with legal approach and conceptual approach. The research material consists of primary legal material (legislation about sex selection and abortion in Indonesia), secondary legal materials (legal journals, law books, and legal proceedings), and also non-legal materials (journals, books, and health proceedings about sex selection and abortion).Results: In Indonesia meanwhile in general, abortion is permitted for pregnancy with medical indication and rape victim. Through a statue approach in Indonesia, selective abortion after preimplantation sex selection can be implemented for strong medical reasons. While the failure for non-medical reasons can’t be aborted. This regulation contrary with ethics, morals and religion. Selective abortion should not be done because of preimplantation sex selection failure either medical or non-medical reasons. Conclusion: Selective abortion after preimplantation sex selection both medical and non medical reason contrary with moral, ethical, and religion. Indonesia needs to regulate further policy about selective abortion if there is a failure of preimplantation sex selection.

Indonesia does not allow the use of narcotics except for medical purposes. Drug use for medical purposes must be under supervision of doctor, regardless of the level of content in it. In contrast to Netherlands, which allows the use of Soft Drugs as regulated in Dutch Opium Act. In Netherlands itself, the use of marijuana and the purchase of marijuana can be done at a coffee shop that already has a permit. The legalization of certain types of drugs and for certain purposes exists because Netherlands wants to provide legal certainty for their people. Netherlands want drug trafficking not to be carried out by crime syndicates that will harm their people. In addition, Netherlands also provides adequate health facilities for drug addicts. Evidently, number of addicts, number of HIV infections due to injection needles, and deaths from drugs has decreased. This is what distinguishes drug policy in Indonesia and Netherlands. Indonesia prioritizes the Penal Policy, it can be seen from the punishment of drug users. While Netherlands prioritizes Non-penal Policy, it can be seen from the incessant drug control. What can Indonesia follow from the drug policy in Netherlands is the prevention of drugs with state control over drug trafficking accompanied by adequate health facilities. Indonesia should reduce the punishment of drug addicts. Criminalizing drug addicts will not solve the problems. In the case of drug abuse, addicts are also victims.

Blood transfusion is one of the critical requirements of many medical treatments. To ensure timely blood availability, the Indonesian Red Cross (Palang Merah Indonesia/PMI) has to tackle the blood supply challenges of stockouts and overdates. This research aims to develop a simulation model to determine the blood supply policy to reduce stockouts and overdates. The simulation model was developed according to the existing system at UDD PMI Padang. Simulation experiments were then attempted with some sequential scenarios and carried out on variables that affect the blood supply. The simulation result recommends the blood supply policy to reduce blood stockout and overdate at a higher service level, at conditions of the blood demand is assumed to be constant or increased.

Despite the massive growth of universities offering EMI in non-Anglophone countries including Indonesia, there is little research regarding the underlying rationales for the implementation of EMI and the perceptions of lecturers in relation to the enactment of EMI. Several studies have also highlighted the absence of official guidelines for EMI in this context, which has contributed to the dissimilar practices of EMI among Indonesian universities. This case study aimed to find out the underpinning rationales for the implementation of EMI at the Indonesian universities. It also aimed to investigate how lecturers at the Indonesian universities perceived the implementation of EMI. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine non-English lecturers from both state and private Indonesian universities. The results of this study showed that some factors, including promoting university internationalisation, enhancing academic reputations, and taking part in international competitions, were found to underpin the implementation of EMI. In addition, this study also underlined the issue of internationalisation in relation to Englishisation and its impacts on EMI. In this study, the participants' use of the Indonesian language intended to facilitate communication and understanding of content learning could also be seen as a way to value multilingual practices. Therefore, this study suggests that the Indonesian linguistic ecology where Bahasa Indonesia and English co-exist with the hundreds of local languages should be taken into consideration in the educational language policy-making.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] The aims of the study were twofold; firstly, to describe the inequality in infant mortality in Indonesia namely, to look at the extent and magnitude of the problem in terms of the estimated number of infant deaths, the differentials in infant mortality rates, the probability of infant deaths across provinces, urban and rural areas, and across regions of Indonesia. Secondly, to examine the effect of family welfare status and maternal educational levels on the probability of infant deaths. The study design was that of a population-based multistage stratified survey of the 1997 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey. Results of the study were obtained from a sample of 28,810 reproductive women aged 15 to 49 years who belonged to 34,255 households. A binary outcome variable was selected, namely, whether or not each of the live born infant(s) from the interviewed women was alive or dead prior to reaching one year of age. Of interest were the variables related to socio-economic status, measured by Family Welfare Status Index and maternal educational levels. The following risk factors were also investigated: current contraceptive methods; birth intervals; maternal age at first birth; marital duration; infants’ size perceived by the mothers; infants’ birth weight; marital status; prenatal care by health personnel; antenatal TT immunization; place of delivery; and religion. Geographical strata (province) and residence (urban and rural areas) were also considered. Both descriptive and multivariate analyses were undertaken. Descriptive analysis was aimed at obtaining non-biased estimates of the infant mortality rates at the appropriate levels of aggregation. Multivariate analysis involved a logistic regression model using the Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model-fitting technique. The procedure, a multilog-cumlogit , uses the Taylor Series Linearization methods to compute modelbased variance, and which adjusts for the complex sampling design. Results of descriptive analysis indicate that, indeed, there are inequalities in infant mortality across administrative divisions of the country, represented by provinces and regions, as well as across residential areas, namely urban and rural areas. Also, the results suggested that there is socio-economic inequality in infant mortality, as indicated by a dose-response effect across strata of family welfare and maternal educational levels, both individually and interactively. These inequalities varied by residence (urban and rural), provinces and regions (Java Bali, Outer Java Bali I and Outer Java Bali II). Furthermore, the probability of infant mortality was significantly greater among highrisk mothers, characterized by a number of risk factors used in the study

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the roles played by the demographic and non-demographic characteristics of users and provider's characteristics in determining outpatient healthcare utilisation in Indonesia, and simulated the effects of these demographic, health insurance subscription and chronic disease factors on outpatient healthcare utilisation in the future. The study is expected to contribute to public policy by providing empirical evidence of the determinants of healthcare utilisation in Indonesia, filling a gap in research of roles of provider characteristics, and providing insights into how to incorporate non-demographic factors into utilisation projections. The study employed various statistical and mathematical tools, including discrete choice models for determinant analysis, cohort component methods for population projection and propensity methods for the projection of healthcare utilisation. Three main sets of data are used: the 2007 National Social Economic Survey (Susenas), the 2007 Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) and the 2007 Basic Health Survey (Riskesdas). For the population projections, the base population is drawn from the post-enumeration-adjusted 2010 Population Census. The study demonstrated that healthcare utilisation and choice of providers in Indonesia are determined by both demographic and non-demographic factors and, in general, this is in line with Andersen's behaviour framework of health service use. The study findings also support the notion that the effect of age on utilisation is not monotonic. The difference in association and the degree of influence of independent variables on the decision to visit and on choice of provider indicates that the decision to use healthcare and the decision to choose a provider is not simultaneous, but rather a two-stage process. High price of service and low numbers of doctors deters the use of health services. Distance and drug availability are also associated with the choice of providers. Response to provider characteristics is not uniform, but varies across the population. This study also indicates the presence of a 'bypassing phenomenon', which occurs when patients bypass nearer healthcare providers to seek a higher-quality provider. The size of the Indonesian population is projected to increase by 19.6% during 2010-2025. Due to this population growth, total healthcare utilisation is expected to increase by 25.7% over the same period, with the pattern of utilisation to follow the pattern of population increase. Compared to the effects of health insurance and chronic disease, demographic change will continue as the major driver of increased healthcare utilisation in the future. Further, for some age groups (for example, children and adult), the effect of health insurance and chronic disease will also be very significant. In the policy context, the study indicates that income-related inequity in access to healthcare services will not be a significant issue; however, inequity in access to high-quality providers will. Access to healthcare among children and the elderly from lower social economic backgrounds is substantially lower than for other cohorts, and it was also found that urban dwellers are more sensitive to price of service and less sensitive to distance to healthcare providers, while rural dwellers are the opposite.

The aim of the study was to offer solutions for the enhancement of Indonesia’s HIV
and AIDS policy and to suggest future possibilities. In the process, the gendered
nature of the epidemic was explored. In light of the relatively lower rates of
employment among Indonesian women, this study also sought to gain insights into
the possible reasons for many women appearing to be attached to domesticity.
In the first phase of the study, interviews with stakeholders in HIV and AIDS
prevention were conducted, followed by a Delphi exercise involving 23 HIV and
AIDS experts. In the second phase, 28 women from various ethnicities were
interviewed, including those in polygamous and contract marriages. The overall
results were interpreted through the lens of complexity theory.
Fewer than half of the proposed objectives were approved by the experts in the
Delphi round. These were interventions mainly aimed at the risk groups while most
objectives relating to education about HIV and AIDS and safer sex for the general
public failed to obtain consensus. Reasons for the lack of consensus were
differences in perceptions associated with human rights, moral reasoning, the
unfeasibility of certain statements and personal conviction about the control of the epidemic. Emphasis on men’s and women’s innate characteristics; men’s role as
breadwinner; women’s primary role as wife, mother and educator of their children;
and unplanned pregnancies emerged as major themes from the qualitative phase.
While the adat and Islam revival movements may have endorsed the ideals of the
New Order state ideology, Javanese rituals regarded as violating Islam teachings
were abandoned. Ignorance about safer sex and HIV and AIDS was also established. Interpretation of the results through the lens of complexity theory revealed that the
national HIV and AIDS policy needs to encompass interventions for the general
population, which would include comprehensive sex education in schools and
media campaigns focusing on women. It was found that women’s vulnerability to
HIV and their penchant for domesticity appear to be associated with their
perceived primary role as wife and mother, as promoted by the adat-based New Order state ideology.Sociology

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPromotion of “skilled birth attendants” (SBAs) in global maternal health policy has prompted a range of policy responses to “traditional birth attendants” (TBAs). In Indonesia the response has been to develop a national policy of partnership between SBAs (bidan) and TBAs (dukun bayi). This policy aims to ensure the presence of an SBA at every birth yet offers a role for TBAs. In this chapter I examine the development of a district regulation on partnership, promoted within the context of decentralization policies enacted in Indonesia from 1999. The district regulation aimed to strengthen the national policy in a location in West Java where TBAs remain popular. Drawing on 10 months of fieldwork from 2012 to 2013 at a district health office and on observations of its outreach programs, I elucidate how the regulation on partnership was promoted through the policy entrepreneurship of certain key figures in the district health office. They argued that the partnership regulation was the fastest means to improve maternal health. But casting a spotlight on the relationship between SBAs and TBAs diverted attention away from other health system challenges including under-resourced medical facilities and a weak referral system. Three contexts played into this process of bringing the partnership issue to the fore: global policies promoting SBAs and sidelining TBAs; pressure to achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) on maternal mortality; and the limited financial power and decision space afforded to districts under decentralization in Indonesia. In this context, the regulation offered a viable path for demonstrating commitment to improving maternal health outcomes, yet one that failed to address broader constraints in the health system that contribute to persistent high maternal mortality rates.

The chapter highlights the changes in Indonesian print media after democratization and their increased role in foreign policy debates and discourses on regionalism. Based on Acharya’s localization theory, the chapter explores the print media’s ideas on the reform of Southeast Asia’s regionalism. The print media contributed strongly to the ASEAN Charter debate, stressing democracy, increased welfare, and security improvements as major motivations for the reforms. While they, too, were receptive of European ideas, in their articles and editorials journalists fused them with the country’s organicist traditions, leadership claims, soft power, and notions of survivalism.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter synthesizes sociolinguistic scholarship on enregisterment, regimes of language, chronotopes, and scale to offer the concept of “mass-mediated chronotopic identity.” It starts with an examination of a 1998 speech on good governance made by the director of the International Monetary Fund, and the subsequent uptake of these ideas in policy documents sponsored by an Indonesian president and a government ministry. The chapter traces the imitation of ideas of good governance across these contexts through reference to words, such as “efficiency,” “effectiveness,” “corruption,” and “bureaucracy.” In doing so, it points to the utility of connecting the discursive work that occurs within one chronotopic moment with another quite different one. I argue that a reduction in media censorship, along with the move from a highly centralized authoritarian regime to a democratic one tasked with the large-scale fiscal and political decentralization of Indonesia, facilitated this imitation and the creation of what I refer to as “chronotopes of good governance.”

The use of technology has changed the way they communicate and disseminate information. By utilising the internet, information circulating can be faster and almost unlimited by time and space. This medium makes the information circulating every day very much, ranging from information about politics, economics, technology, science, food, and others. The concept of social network analytics (SNA) as the concept of big data technology is very suitable to be applied, where SNA can manage vast and diverse data and process it into the desired information in a swift time. In addition to online and print media, social networking media is also a concern to be monitored. Because social media is extensive, it makes it an area that must be considered, especially to see public opinion. This study discusses the use of the SNA concept in monitoring public communication policies. The results of this study are a recommendation regarding the use of the SNA concept in managing public issues to support government policy.

This study aims to analyze the role of the Indonesian government in handling Covid19 in the health and economy of the Indonesian people under the new normal. The research method used is descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods, using research results, references and online news sources that are directly related to this research. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the world, and Indonesia is one of them. Indonesia is fighting Covid-19 by modifying its regional isolation (lockdown) policy into large-scale social restrictions (PSBB), which are applied locally based on the severity of the province, district, or city. In addition, along with the increasing number of cases of the new variant of the COVID-19 virus from July 26 to August 2, 2021, the Indonesian government has begun to continue its policies to eradicate the corona virus and implement restrictions on community activities (PPKM). PPKM is extended for each blood differently. For regions, especially Lampung, it was extended from 10 to 23 August 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic requires the government to formulate extraordinary policies. Addressing health problems, protecting the public through social security and protecting business policies are the top priorities. Budget reallocation, reorientation of activities and adjustment of mandatory spending are the main ways the government provides funds to respond to the needs of COVID-19. On the other hand, pseudo growth also refers to the challenges that the economy may face in the second half of 2021, due to the implementation of emergency PPKM and level 4 caused by the Delta variant.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia plans to build the first nuclear power plant (NPP) to solve the country’s energy problems. It needs full skilled human resources in the field of nuclear technology. Department of Engineering Physics, Gadjah Mada University is the only university in Indonesia offering a nuclear engineering curriculum which is established since 1977. The main obstacle of nuclear engineering education development is the unclear government policy. The government postpones its plan several times since the first nuclear research reactor was established in Bandung (1972) due to the presence of anti-nuclear groups, especially after Fukushima accident. This paper would like to describe our experiences in order to response the challenge mentioned above. As an education institution, Gadjah Mada University has a mission to develop science and technology for leveraging the nation competitiveness. According to that goal, the nuclear engineering development has to be independent to the presence of NPP in Indonesia, since many NPP is establishing in the world. As addition, according to the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (BAPETEN), there are 2,825 institutions, including medical institutions, which are currently utilizing radioactive materials in Indonesia. As addition, Indonesia now is playing important role in the radio-pharmacy production, particularly in Asia. So, there are several opportunities as basis for developing the new nuclear engineering curriculum. In the new nuclear engineering curriculum at Gadjah Mada University, student is offered two concentrations named Nuclear Energy System and Medical Physics Technology. The first one is oriented to support the nuclear reactor system development including G4 NPP, research reactor and radioisotopes production reactors. They study how to plan, to operate and to develop from cradle to grove of a nuclear reactor system that means from front-end to back-end. In the other hand, the second one is developed to graduate competence human resources who could apply their knowledge in medical field. They would be a partner of radio-oncologist in hospitals. Besides the hard skills, student’s character has to be educated in order to create their competitive excellences based on safety culture, global and national vision. We believe that the above mentioned hard and soft skills will assist student to survive in today’s global competition, especially in nuclear technology utilization.

Full textAbstract:
In the past 40 years, China has experienced the largest and fastest urbanization development in the world. The infrastructure, urban environment and medical services of cities have been improved significantly. The health impacts are manifested in the decrease of the incidence of infectious diseases and the significant increase of the life span of residents. However, the development of urbanization in China has also created many problems, including the increasing pollution of urban environment such as air, water and soil, the disorderly spread of urban construction land, the fragmentation of natural ecological environment, dense population, traffic congestion and so on. With the process of urbanization and motorization, the lifestyle of urban population has changed, and the disease spectrum and the sequence of death causes have changed. Chronic noncommunicable diseases have replaced acute infectious diseases and become the primary threat to urban public health. According to the data published by the famous medical journal The LANCET on China's health care, the economic losses caused by five major non-communicable diseases (ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, breast cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) will reach US$23 trillion between 2012 and 2030, more than twice the total GDP of China in 2015 (US$11.7 trillion). Therefore, China proposes to implement the strategy of "Healthy China" and develop the policy of "integrating health into ten thousand strategies". Integrate health into the whole process of urban and rural planning, construction and governance to form a healthy, equitable and accessible production and living environment. China is building healthy cities through the above four strategies. The main strategies from national system design to local planning are as follows. First of all, the top-level design of the country. There are two main points: one point, the formulation of the Healthy China 2030 Plan determines the first batch of 38 pilot healthy cities and practices the strategy of healthy city planning; the other point, formulate and implement the national health city policy and issue the National Healthy City. The evaluation index system evaluates the development of local work from five aspects: environment, society, service, crowd and culture, finds out the weak links in the work in time, and constantly improves the quality of healthy city construction. Secondly, the reform of territorial spatial planning. In order to adapt to the rapid development of urbanization, China urban plan promote the reform of spatial planning system, change the layout of spatial planning into the fine management of space, and promote the sustainable development of cities. To delimit the boundary line of urban development and the red line of urban ecological protection and limit the disorderly spread of urban development as the requirements of space control. The bottom line of urban environmental quality and resource utilization are studied as capacity control and environmental access requirements. The grid management of urban built environment and natural environment is carried out, and the hierarchical and classified management unit is determined. Thirdly, the practice of special planning for local health and medical distribution facilities. In order to embody the equity of health services, including health equity, equity of health services utilization and equity of health resources distribution. For the elderly population, vulnerable groups and patients with chronic diseases, the layout of community health care facilities and intelligent medical treatment are combined to facilitate the "last kilometer" service of health care. Finally, urban repair and ecological restoration design are carried out. From the perspective of people-oriented, on the basis of studying the comfortable construction of urban physical environment, human behavior and the characteristics of human needs, to tackle "urban diseases" and make up for "urban shortboard". China is building healthy cities through the above four strategies. Committed to the realization of a constantly developing natural and social environment, and can continue to expand social resources, so that people can enjoy life and give full play to their potential to support each other in the city.

ABSTRACT Background: Most of the neonatal deaths that occur after 6-48 hours postpartum can be prevented with appropriate newborn care and initiated immediately after delivery through adequate and standardized first neonatal visit. In Indonesia, it is still not in accordance with the expected target. This study aimed to analyze the factors that influence the first neonatal visit from various levels through a multilevel analysis approach. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study with samples of individual level (level 1) was 1014 mother babies, village Level (level 2) as many as 95 village managers, public health center (level 3) was 51 manager of child health programs, and district level (level 4) was 13 managers of health programs in eight provinces Indonesia. The dependent variable was first neonatal visits. The independent variables were birth attendant and pregnancy counselling (level 1), number of village midwives and community control in development (level 2), partnership and resources (level 3), and policy strategy (level 4). Data analysis was performed through univariate, bivariate, multivariate analysis with logistic regression and multilevel modeling using multilevel regression logistic random intercept analysis run on Stata 14.0. Results: At level 1, birth attendants increased first neonatal visits (OR = 3.21; 95% CI 95% = 1,984 to 5,182; p <0.001), pregnancy counselling (OR = 1,705; 95% CI 95% = 1,162 to 2,503; p = 0.007) significantly. At level 2 modelling, the number of village midwives increased the risk of the first neonatal visit (OR = 1,815; 95% CI = 0.950 to 3,467; p = 0.049), community control (OR = 2,659; 95% CI = 1.396 to 5.066; p = 0.009) significantly. At level 3 modelling, partnerships and resources significantly increased the first neonatal visit (OR = 2,131; 95% CI = 1,114 to 4,078; p = 0.012) significantly. At level 4 modelling, birth attendants significantly increased the first neonatal visits (OR = 3.056; 95% CI = 1.901 to 4,914; p = 0.029) significantly. Conclusion: Birth attendants, pregnancy counselling, the number of village midwives, community control, partnerships and resources, birth attendants increase the risk of first neonatal visit. Contextual village areas, public health center, and district health offices have contextual effects on the first neonatal visit.

Full textAbstract:
Language policy and planning in Indonesia have been geared toward strengthening the national language Bahasa Indonesia and the preserving of hundreds of ethnic languages to strengthen its citizens’ linguistic identity in the mid of the pervasive English influences especially to the young generations. The study examines perceptions regarding the competitive nature of Bahasa Indonesia, ethnic languages, and English in contemporary multilingual Indonesia. Utilizing text analysis from two social media Facebook and Whatsapp users who were highly experienced and qualified language teachers and lecturers, the study revealed that the posts demonstrated discussions over language policy issues regarding Bahasa Indonesia and the preservation of ethnic language as well as the concerns over the need for greater access and exposure of English that had been limited due to recent government policies. The users seemed highly cognizant of the importance of strengthening and preserving the national and ethnic languages, but were disappointed by the lack of consistency in the implementation of these. The users were also captivated by the purchasing power English has to offer for their students. The users perceived that the government’s decision to reduce English instructional hours in the curriculum were highly politically charged and counterproductive to the nation’s advancement.

This policy brief reviews the evolution of knowledge-to-policy studies and the emergence of systems perspectives. We explore the less well understood issue of how to grow and reinforce knowledge systems in settings where they are weak and underdeveloped. We offer a knowledge systems model that encapsulates current thinking and present an example of an effort to strengthen a knowledge system, drawn from a project managed by RTI in Indonesia. We conclude with some recommendations for strengthening knowledge systems including promoting debate among a diversity of voices within the knowledge system, providing sustained stakeholder commitment to the systems approach, investing in the components of the knowledge system as well as the interaction between components, fostering a balance between government mechanisms and space for civil society perspectives, and exploring how knowledge systems can engage the private sector. We conclude with suggestions for applying the knowledge systems model in new country contexts including use of a political economy analysis as well as gauging readiness of government actors, research institutes, and media to engage.
