Vol 4, Issue 10

Abstract: To examine how well has America has improved social justice based upon its constitutional ideals, compared between rhetoric and current activity. By measuring USA Public Health results during the 21st Century compared to the twenty Other Western Nations (OWN) we aim to determine” what America might thou do, what honour, would have thee do?” Methodology: Data from the many studies draws upon sources from WHO, World Bank, National Vital Statistics and OECD health and socio-economic outcomes, which is the widest range ever of so many comparative series of international research on mortality rates, including suicides, cardiovascular, cancer, neurological, sepsis, child mortality, violence and environmental impacts and ethnic differentials, to juxtapose against American historical ideals, all measured by population controlled international mortality studies. Results: America had highest Western child and adult mortality; child-abuse-related-deaths; sepsis; heart disease, civilian violence rates; widest income inequality, second highest neurological deaths, disproportional Africa-American mortality - indicative of multi-interactive environmental factors. If America had matched average Western death rates, fewer 561,837 American had died. If Africa-American mortality averaged other ethnicities, there would have 94,422 fewer deaths, 26% less. USA %GDP health expenditure is West’ highest, so when juxtaposed against American mortality rates, clearly the US health system is the least effective. Conclusion: Public health, policy, and practice, must challenge the structural socio-economic and environmental problems related to social injustice. If true to be itself America must narrow the gap between rhetoric idealism and action, then the USA “thou do, that honour, would have thee do?”

While we are talking about the role of China and it is future position in the global system and international relations, especially after the cold war, the rise and growth of China, and itself diplomacy visions towards the global system and cases. We can say that China’s foreign diplomacy have become effective and realistic for the world cases, that can be blessed for stability and development.

Accordingly, the study hypothesis is focused on: Will China's consistent stance on Middle East issues, especially the Palestinian issue, motivate members of the international system to strive for stability in the region? The importance of this study stems through the spotlight on Chinese diplomacy and it impacts of achieving peace-building and development, and outlook the future of Palestinian case in light of the stability of the Chinese stance towards the Palestinian case in all fields supporting, under the international legitimacy and the UN rules. Besides, enriching practical research in a new study that focused on Chinese diplomacy towards region cases, such as, Palestinian one. The main objective of this study is evaluating the experience of Chinese diplomacy towards the Palestinian case through the stability of the Chinese stance towards Palestine, and the strengthening of friendly relations between the two countries. The limits of the study were limited to studying Chinese diplomacy and the Chinese position and their impact on the Palestinian situation, in order to keep it a central issue in the region, and it needs a solution in order to achieve stability in the region. Moreover, demonstrating the success and stability of China's position on an international issue such as the Palestinian issue in line with the international cooperation. And with regards to the study literatures, many writers and researchers have dealt with the subject of this study, due to success achieved by Chinese diplomacy in several international cases, so this study comes to evaluate this valuable experience. In this study we will present many of these studies related to the subject, and these literatures, and views will be cleared in the chapters of this study.

Perceptions of the relationship religiosity between and well-being for undergraduate LGBTQIA+ students

Elaine Mast, Shiloh Erdley-Kass & Andy Dunlap | 30 Sep 2022

Vol 4, Issue 10

Abstract: Religiosity has been linked to positive health and mental health outcomes for the general population, but the homonegative attitudes held in many religious spaces could complicate this relationship for LGBTQIA+ individuals. This study utilized thematic analysis of nine interviews to examine student perceptions of the relationship between well-being and religiosity both in general and for the LGBTQIA+ population specifically. Most participants recognized aspects of religiosity that could both harm and benefit well-being. Given religion’s power to influence well-being, an understanding of the ways those influences can serve either positive or negative functions is imperative and can guide religious organizations, leaders, and educators to better aid their communities.

Deliberative Program for Performance Optimization of State Defense Policy Implementation in Jember Regency, Indonesia

La ode M. Nurdin, Bambang Soepeno, Edy Wahyudi & Dina Suryawati | 30 Sep 2022

Vol 4, Issue 10

Abstract: The inductive reality in Jember Regency shows that the implementation of state defense policies has been carried out in various and innovative ways. This condition is different from the macro condition of the state defense policy which is still monotonous in the military approach by tending to ignore the non-military approach in changing the attitudes and behavior of citizens in defending the country, so that it has an impact on the achievement of policy performance that has not been optimal. On the other hand, previous research tends to emphasize the ontology aspect of defending the state, compared to efforts to explore the optimization of state defense policies, which so far have not reached the expected target of the birth of 150 million state defense cadres in 10 years. Therefore, researching on innovations in state defense policies is important as a differentiator from previous research, and efforts to optimize state defense policies in the realm of changing attitudes and behavior in line with Law no. 2002 concerning National Defense which has been rarely studied. The objectives of the study are: First, to describe and analyze the performance of the implementation of state defense policies in Jember Regency. Second, designing a recommendation model for implementing state defense policies through deliberative programs. The study method used in this study uses the approach qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Where the author constructs the scheme in a coherent manner starting from design, study methodology, approaches, procedures, to study methods and analysis systems that are designed collaboratively to produce novelties that can provide enrichment to Administrative Sciences, especially in optimizing the performance of state defense policy implementation. Based on discussion It can be concluded that: First, the performance of implementing state defense policies in Jember Regency through One Day and One Week activities as deliberative innovations has been running towards the ideal goal (nucleus of innovation), because of good policy coverage, minimizing policy bias, and access to given to parties is quite broad and carried out with a steady frequency, thus leading to consequences based on field needs (milieu of innovation) to change attitudes and behavior of citizens constructively in defending their country from various threats, both military threats, non-military or hybrid. Second, the design of the recommendation model produced in this paper is a construction and dialectic between field findings and several theories, especially the main theory in this dissertation in the form of the theory of policy implementation proposed by Ripley and Grace A. Franklin (1986), in aspects: First, policy outputs include: Policy coverage, policy bias, policy access, and frequency of policies as well as the suitability of activities with needs. Second, policy outcomes include: short term, medium term and long term. Third, Program performance indicators include: The number of actors involved in the implementation action invites many actors, clarity of goals and consistency of intent can be understood as clarity of policy content, development and complexity of the program, participation of all government implementers, and uncontrollable factors that affect implementation. Based on the construction and dialectics in the recommendation model, it is hoped that it can be applied in other areas as part of the transferability of writing.
