Nrima - a particular Javanese value and its impact on healthcare
People in Java traditionally internalise the value of ‘nrima’ . It is a verb, from the noun ‘ trima’ in Javanese language (box 1).

Acceptability and feasibility of delegating HIV counseling and testing for TB patients to community health workers in the Philippines

Impacts of stigma on HIV risk for women who inject drugs in Java
Redistributing vulnerabilities
It is widely accepted that the social distribution of vulnerability in a given society may turn hazardous events into disasters. This distributional approach draws attention to continuities that explain catastrophes by virtue of the workings of society prior to the event. In this paper, we draw attention to the social processes whereby vulnerability is modified and renegotiated during the post-disaster period where resources for disaster alleviat…
