JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

News coverage on Covid-19 is important as it provides people with important updates as well as crucial information for avoiding infection. Previous studies have shown undesirable messages such as Covid-19 news that circulates in social networking sites can trigger ‘third-person perception (TPP)’, which is a phenomenon in which audiences presume a message exerts more influence upon people other than themselves. It is crucial to examine whether audiences experience TPP during consumption of pandemic news – especially when there is a possible negative correlation between TPP and protective behavioural intentions. Previous studies showed empirical evidence when users used Covid-19 news in …

Current Clinical Approach Of Nosocomial Clostridium Difficileinfection, Frans Liwang, Robert Sinto

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia

Hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has become one of the global threats because the incidence has increased in recent decades. This nosocomial infection is closely related to antibiotic use in health services and is commonly found in the elderly. Antibiotics can promote colonization and CDI by intestinal microbiota dysbiosis and complex innate immune system activation. The manifestation also has a wide spectrum, ranging from mild diarrhea to fulminant colonic mucosal necrosis. Given that not all colonized subjects will be infected, further investigations such as toxigenic culture, nucleic-acid detection, and stool immunologic tests are only useful in symptomatic cases. In all …

Human Health Threat And Economic Vulnerability: A Case Study On The Covid-19 Pandemic, Mirah Satria Alamsyah, Muhammad Faizal Alfian, Miftah Farid Darussalam

Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional

This paper frames the approach to determining policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which either prioritise human health security protection or economic vulnerability. In this paper, the human security concept will be used to explain COVID-19 as a health security problem due to the existence of an existential threat. However, the same approach is not applicable in looking at COVID-19 as an economic security problem. Because the existential threat is less visible in human economic security aspects, it tends to be more appropriate to look at COVID-19 as the stressor that strengthens human vulnerabilities. This paper uses a qualitative …
