This research aims to 1) explore the benefits of online (benefits obtained when on the internet) and online risks (risks experienced when on the internet) in adolescents in Jakarta; 2) Test differences in online benefits and online risk based on differences in gender, education level, and school affiliation. This study used a survey method with a multilevel random sampling technique performed on adolescents living in Jakarta aged 12-18 (N = 756). The data analysis technique for this study is descriptive analysis and T-test analysis. The results of the research show that teenagers in Jakarta regularly use the internet every day with relatively high duration. More than 60% of teens benefit online in the medium to the high category, with six types of benefits online: learning, creative participation, social participation, social relations, entertainment, commercial benefits, and personal benefits. Most teens experience online risk in the low category, with three types of risks: content risk, contact risk, and behavioral risk. Other findings, namely: (1) there are significant differences in online risk-based on sex and adolescent education level; (2) significant differences in online benefits are based solely on adolescent education levels. There are no significant differences in online and online risk benefits based on school affiliation (non-religious schools and religion-based schools). This research contributes to the importance of distinguishing online benefits and online risks from adolescent education levels.

Statin Use

Background: American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines published in 2013 recommend high-intensity statins (atorvastatin 40 or 80 mg or rosuvastatin 20 or 40 mg) for most adults ≤75 years of age with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). For adults >75 years of age with ASCVD, the guidelines recommend continuation of tolerated statins or initiation of moderate intensity statins for most patients. Objective: To examine whether guideline concordant use of high-intensity statins following myocardial infarction (MI) among Medicare beneficiaries differed by hospital size, medical school affiliation, and region of the US in 2014 (after publication of the guidelines). Methods: We identified 28,086 Medicare beneficiaries with fee-for-service and pharmacy coverage who filled a statin within 30 days following hospital discharge for MI in 2014. The analyses were restricted to 731 hospitals with at least 20 beneficiaries discharged for MI in 2014. Hospital size and medical school affiliation were determined from the American Hospital Association survey. In subgroups ≤75 and >75 years of age, we calculated the proportion of beneficiaries whose first statin fill after MI was a high-intensity statin by hospital, hospital size, medical school affiliation, and region. Results: Among statin users ≤75 years of age, 10,696 (55%) beneficiaries filled a prescription for a high-intensity statin following MI. The percentage filling high-intensity statins range from 0-100% (25 th percentile 39%, 75 th percentile 69%) across hospitals. High-intensity statin use was more common following hospitalization at larger hospitals, hospitals with medical school affiliations, and those in New England ( Figure ). A lower percentage of Medicare beneficiaries >75 years of age filled high-intensity statins (n = 8,441, 44%), but patterns were similar across hospital characteristics and region. Conclusions: Similar patterns of high-intensity statin use were present among individuals ≤75 years of age, in whom high-intensity statin use is guideline concordant, and individuals >75 years of age, in whom high-intensity statin use is not necessarily guideline concordant, suggesting that variation in high-intensity statin prescriptions may not be directly related to close adherence to guidelines.

Sultan Baybars' decision to appoint four Chief Qādīs , one from each of the Sunni schools of law, has long been recognized as a turning point in the history of the madhhabs. To date, historians have explained this decision only in political or ideological terms, paying little attention to its implications for the judicial system. Here I argue that the purpose of the new quadruple structure of the judiciary was two-fold: to create a uniform but at the same time flexible legal system. The need for predictable and stable legal rules was addressed by limiting qādīs' discretion and promoting taqlīd , i.e., adherence to established school doctrine. The establishment of Chief Qādīs from the four schools of law, on the other hand, allowed for flexibility and prevented the legal system from becoming too rigid. The quadruple judiciary enabled litigants, regardless of personal school affiliation, to choose from the doctrines of the four schools.
