Muhammad Qadaruddin — 2024-12-31

This research examines the presence and implications of manipulative messages in the Netflix documentary "Ice Cold: Murder, Coffee, and Jessica Wongso." By using framing analysis on the film, this research highlights how these messages shape the audience's perception and understanding of the events. The filmmaker's stance on the case attempts to present both sides of the case fairly, allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions. This film portrays Jessica with nuance to consider the possibility that Jessica is both a perpetrator and a victim of the system and excessive media coverage. Furthermore, this research explores the cultural and societal contexts that have influenced the production of the documentary film, revealing how these factors contribute to the overall message. These findings indicate that the film director presents a perspective that attempts to view Jessica as a victim of media pressure and a legal process deemed unfair. Interviews with legal experts, Jessica's friends, and scenes showing the weaknesses and inconsistencies of the presented evidence also contribute to the narrative that Jessica might be innocent and instead a victim of unbalanced media framing. Until the year 2024, Jessica was declared free. This release marks a long-awaited victory for justice. This documentary film plays a significant role in raising public and judicial system awareness about the potential injustices that can befall an individual. This research is not merely entertainment, but rather an important medium that can contribute to voicing injustice and striving for justice in complex and controversial cases.

Jurana Jurana — 2024-12-31

The increasing pace of life, social pressures and the aging population are causing urinary incontinence and psychosocial problems in the elderly to increase. Although not a fatal condition, urinary incontinence can impair mental health and reduce quality of life, as well as increase the risk of depression and anxiety. The study focused on knowing the description of urinary incontinence and psychosocial problems in the elderly in the working area of Puskesmas Lanrisang Pinrang Regency. This cross-sectional descriptive study involved 90 elderly respondents from the Lanrisang Health Centre, selected using purposive sampling based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using validated questionnaires: the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS 21). QUID was selected for its specificity in categorizing different types of urinary incontinence, making it a reliable tool for this population. Similarly, DASS 21 is well-regarded for its ability to measure stress, anxiety, and depression levels comprehensively, which are critical psychosocial factors examined in this study. These tools were chosen for their reliability in measuring urinary incontinence and psychosocial problems, with analysis performed using univariate methods. The results showed that the majority of respondents (40.0%) experienced mixed urinary incontinence. The prevalence of urinary incontinence in the elderly with moderate levels of stress, anxiety, and depression was higher compared to mild and severe levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
