The Impact of Coronavirus to Terrorist Offenders in Indonesia: Assessments on psychological risk profiles before and during pandemic
Journal ID : AMJ-04-03-2023-11277; Author : Zora A. Sukabdi,
Abstract : City lockdowns during the Coronavirus pandemic were seen by terrorism networks as authorities’ attempt to limit people’s access to places of worship and secularise people, as well as a sign of a forthcoming apocalypse. Several arrestments of terror actors in Indonesia during the pandemic raised the question of whether the physical restrictions ever reduced the criminogenic risks of terrorist network’s members. This study aims to investigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on highly-classified terrorist profiles in Indonesia. The study assesses the psychological criminogenic risks of these terrorist offenders before and during pandemic. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis was used to examine the risk assessment. The findings indicate no significant difference in the total scores of participants’ risks before and during the pandemic. However, the qualitative risk profiles demonstrate the changes in participants’ motivation, ideology, and capability. In terms of motivation, participants’ motives (e.g., economic, justice, social, situation-al/security, power, and actualisation) were slightly reduced during pandemic. For ideology, participants’ risk is significantly reduced throughout the pandemic. The results reveal that participants’ objectives change from going to Syria and executing terror actions to assisting members and families and reaching physical immunity to survive against the pandemic. Moreover, their acceptance to government programs is increased. In terms of capability to conduct terrorism (soft and hard skills for organising terror attacks), the results reveal a significant increase of skills. Their preparing apocalypse (which is believed as indicated by the Coronavirus pandemic) cause the increase of intelligence, language, and military abilities.

Abstract : High blood pressure can cause damage to essential organs such as the heart, kidneys, brain, eyes and others. Regular physical exercise has been linked to improved health indicators including blood pressure and weight, while a lack of it has been linked to an increase in both blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease in later life. This research was conducted with a cross-sectional design to know the relationship between physical activity and the blood pressure in orphanage children in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. All twelve orphanages in Denpasar were include in this study. Subjects were checked for blood pressure at the time of measurement. The instruments used to measure physical activity in the last seven days were the PAQ-C/A (Physical Activity Questionnaire-Children/Adolescent) questionnaire. Subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Subjects were recruited consecutively and met the study criteria of 177 people. Physical activity assessment with PAC showed that most subjects had moderate-high physical activity (87%), and only (13%) of subjects had low physical activity. Based on the prevalence risk (PR) value to assess the magnitude of the risk of hypertension in children with physical activity, it was found that low physical activity had a PR value of 12.275 (95% CI = 5.026 to 29.983).
