5 Bab Awal Dibuka Gratis - Ketika Doa Menyebut Nama yang Sama

 Mulai hari ini, aku membuka 5 bab awal dari novel Ketika Doa Menyebut Nama yang Sama untuk dibaca gratis. Teaser ini bukan sekadar ringkasan. Ia adalah pintu masuk—agar kamu bisa merasakan ritme ceritanya, mengenal karakternya, dan memutuskan sendiri apakah kisah ini layak kamu lanjutkan. Di lima bab awal, kamu akan bertemu dengan:  Muhammad Salim Akbar — pria yang memilih pulang, bekerja tenang, dan belajar bertanggung jawab pada hidupnya. Stefani Dhewi — perempuan yang memilih berjalan jauh, menemukan ketenangan lewat travelling, dan bertahan dari sunyi dengan caranya sendiri. Mereka bertemu bukan di tempat yang romantis, melainkan di ruang digital—tempat orang biasanya hanya singgah. Namun percakapan mereka pelan-pelan tumbuh menjadi sesuatu yang serius: cinta yang tidak bisa lepas dari realitas Indonesia—beda iman, beda cara hidup, dan beda dunia. Teaser ini kubuka gratis karena aku ingin pembaca datang bukan karena janji, melainkan karena rasa. Kalau setelah membaca kamu...

  Mereka yang Dilupakan: Kisah Tenaga Medis di Garis Depan Pandemi Covid-19 pernah mengubah cara kita hidup, bekerja, dan saling menjaga jarak. Di masa itu, tenaga medis berdiri di garis depan—bekerja dalam keterbatasan, ketidakpastian, dan risiko yang nyata.

Researching Values Methodological Approaches for Understanding Values Work in Organisations and Leadership

What Is Research? Have you ever examined something in detail because you wanted to understand it better? For instance, you might have been curious about your grandmother’s life when she was young, so you asked her to share stories from her childhood. Or perhaps you wanted to know more about a fertilizer you planned to use in your garden, so you read its ingredient list and searched for information online. By dictionary definition, these activities count as research. Think back to your high school days, when you were assigned to “research” a topic. Such assignments usually required you to consult various sources, possibly including some original materials. The final product was often called a “research paper.” But were you truly conducting research when you interviewed your grandmother or wrote a school paper summarizing information on a subject? From our perspective, you were engaging in just one small part of the research process. In this book, the term “research” is used in its scien...

Download Credit Networks in The Preindustrial World A Social Network Analysis Approach

Recent years have seen a tremendous increase in scientific literature on social networks. The term "network" is now widely used in several situations. The scholarly community is increasingly interested in the institutions that impact our social and economic life. Matthew Jackson's volume on social network analysis (SNA) emphasizes that networks facilitate human connection. They influence the spread of knowledge and people's decisions. Human networks follow stable and predictable norms, even as they become increasingly complicated over time. Adopting a network perspective is critical for understanding human behavior. The editors of this edition convened a workshop titled "Networks, Behavior, and Strategies in Early Financial Markets" at Stockholm University in October 2022, which resulted in enlightening conversations among the contributors. 5 This volume emphasizes the significance of networks and the usefulness of using a network approach to study his...

Download Informational Privacy for Service Design

Human beings require privacy. We all require a private location where we can feel safe from scrutiny and judgment. In dystopic governments, complete transparency is seen as a violation of freedom. However, those in power prioritize personal privacy. Privacy is a primary priority for policymakers and has become a social concern in many countries, including Europe and China. However, it is unlikely that humans have ever had less privacy. Physical surveillance is pervasive, with cameras deployed by governments on streets, stations, and public transport, companies in shops, and individuals outside their homes. In recent decades, the rise of digital services has led to increased surveillance of personal information. As a result, the private of people's information and data (informational privacy) may not be fully lost, but it is not in excellent shape. Smartphones are mostly used to provide services to users, rather than for communication. Users often pay for services using their...

Download Humanistic Wellbeing

 According to Walter Mischel (2008), "Psychologists treat other peoples' theories like toothbrushes—no self-respecting person wants to use anyone else's". With the current work, which introduces the humanistic theory of welfare (HTW), I must plead guilty as charged. Given the abundance of existing theories and models in psychology and wellness studies, it's reasonable to question the need for new ones. I believe we do. While theories are important in science, it's important to note that Michael's warning was not intended to discourage the development of new theories. He criticized the publication of early theories aimed at furthering careers over knowledge. Mischel cautioned against narrow "turf" ideas focused on "sub-fields within sub-disciplines." Mischel warned against creating a "Terminological Tower of Babel" that separates sub-fields and disciplines, causing unnatural joints. Theories should not be limited by arti...

Download Indigenous and Tribal Peoples and Cancer

  Although cancer survival has improved markedly in developed countries in recent decades, not all groups have benefited equally. In particular, Indigenous and Tribal peoples continue to have poorer cancer outcomes than their non-Indigenous counterparts. The available evidence suggests these disparities are linked to a complex combination of factors, including higher incidence of cancers associated with a high case fatality, later stage of diagnosis, reduced access to cancer treatment, and poorer overall health. Much research is underway to explore approaches to improving health system responses for Indigenous and Tribal peoples. A developing evidence base is supporting effective translation of knowledge into practice. This book offers a global perspective on this evidence base, written from Indigenous perspectives. This book is the first comprehensive publication to report on cancer incidence, mortality, prevalence, survival, and inequities for Indigenous and Tribal peoples global...
