Comparison of Government Efforts in Improving the Welfare of Indonesian Workers Based on Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and Draft Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation

Manpower can be defined as everything related to labor and the time before, during and after the work period. When talking about various labor issues, this can be viewed from various factors and meanings. Due to the fact that the labor factor is a human resource, during the current national development period, it is a very important factor for the course of national development in Indonesia. The Manpower Act was created, of course, to provide welfare to workers, especially Indonesian workers. In 2020 the government will carry out a policy by drafting a new law on labor through the omnimbus law. Of course, the basic needs of every human being will continue to exist and develop according to the stages or stages of the human life cycle. The procedure used to collect data in this study is documentation, namely the guidelines used in the form of notes or quotes, search for legal literature, books and others related to the identification of problems in this study both offline and online. Analysis of legal materials is carried out using the content analysis method (centent analysis method) which is carried out by describing the material of legal events or legal products in detail in order to facilitate interpretation in the discussion. Comparisons related to the protection of labor welfare in Indonesia based on UUK and UUCK if it is concluded that there are several differences, for example regarding weekly breaks, the UUK regulates weekly rest periods of 2 days off in 5 working days while UUCK only regulates 1 day off within 6 working days incidentally it has also been regulated in the UUK. While the right to take a long break in the UUK is given at least 2 months and can be implemented in the seventh or eighth year of 1 month each, while the UUCK does not include the right to long leave and submit the rules for long leave to the respective companies or cooperation agreements that agreed upon. Regarding menstrual leave for female workers in the UUK, they can get a day off on the first and second days, whereas in UUCK it is not regulated. Furthermore, in the UUK it regulates severance pay while in the UUCK it is not regulated and in the UUK it regulates the work period reward money, workers who have worked 24 years or more are given 10 months of wages but this rule is abolished in UUCK. Pension security is regulated in the UUK but not in the UUCK. Meanwhile, job loss insurance is not regulated in the UUK but in UUCK adds a new social security program, namely Job Loss Security (JKP) which is managed by BPJS. Regarding the work status in UUK is regulated in Article 59 then that Article Article is deleted by UUCK, with the removal of this article, there is no limit to the rules that a worker can be contracted, as a result the worker could become a lifelong contract worker. In UUK, the maximum overtime work is only 3 hours per day in 14 hours per week, while in UUCK the maximum is 4 hours per day and 18 hours per week

Potential and prospect analysis of labor market in education in the fields of renewable energy engineering, industrial automation and robotics, and automotive engineering

In Search of a Useable—and Hopeful—Environmental Narrative in the Mid-Atlantic

ABSTRACT Beyond a survey of some of the most recent traditional and public environmental history scholarship and trends in the Mid-Atlantic, this article—drawing from and reinterpreting the Turner Frontier Thesis—argues that the region both embodies broad currents of US environmental history and helped to establish American attitudes and patterns of behavior that migrated westward and shaped the course of national development. The article suggests that a Mid-Atlantic environmental history marked by such stories as mountaintop removal coal mining, urbanization, industrial disaster, environmental injustice, and the despoliation and ongoing recovery of rivers and watersheds like the Chesapeake and the Hudson is not only “typically” but “exceptionally” American. Further, the author notes that geography, environment, and natural resource history have shaped and informed heritage areas and other important recent work in public history, seeing in those trends the genesis of an era in which regional and subbioregional environmental histories can help inform and inspire new directions toward a more hopeful and sustainable future.

The Brazilian Developmentalist State in Historical Perspective: Revisiting the 1950s in Light of Today's Challenges

The paper assesses the debates between influential writers and decision makers involved in the fast-paced industrialization Brazil embarked upon in the 1950s. Although the period was shaped by high rates of economic growth championed by charismatic nationalist leaders, disagreements pertaining to the role and configuration of the developmental state gave rise to a hybrid agenda of development which combined both liberalizing and interventionist strategies. Through precarious political compromises, persuasion, and a high degree of demiurgic ambition, the federal Brazilian state advanced a bold project of material and symbolic modernization of important sectors of the national society. In the end, however, a combination of internal disputes and a long legacy of socio-spatial inequalities prevented the achievement of a sustainable course of national development, thus bequeathing the country several unanswered issues which gain further relevance today as Brazil assumes a relevant position within the realms of an ever more complex and interdependent global economy.

Building Up Modernity?: The Changing Spatial Representations of State Power in a Chinese Socialist “Model Community”

AbstractThis essay looked into how a group of residents in a Chinese community negotiated with the ideological tropes inscribed in the spatial, which aimed to build up state–people trust on the future course of national development. Under investigation was a slum-turned-socialist-model community called “Cucumber Lane” in two historical junctures in which its spatial settings were radically reorganized. It was argued that the two spatial reorganizations exemplified two major state-led projects of modernity, each of which entailed a specific representation of space that ideologically adumbrated a specific course of national development. It was found that while the residents welcomed the project of modernity launched in the 1960s with enthusiasm, they received the other in the 1990s largely with apathy, and even with mistrust and disbelief.

The Warrior's Camera: The Cinema of Akira Kurosawa.

Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa, who died at the age of 88, has been internationally acclaimed as a giant of world cinema. Rashomon, which won both the Venice Film Festival's grand prize and an Academy Award for best foreign-language film, helped ignite Western interest in the Japanese cinema. Seven Samurai and Yojimbo remain enormously popular both in Japan and abroad. In this newly revised and expanded edition of his study of Kurosawa's films, Stephen Prince provides two new chapters that examine Kurosawa's remaining films, placing him in the context of cinema history. Prince also discusses how Kurosawa furnished a template for some well-known Hollywood directors, including Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas. Providing a new and comprehensive look at this master filmmaker, The Warrior's probes the complex visual structure of Kurosawa's work. book shows how Kurosawa attempted to symbolize on film a course of national development for post-war Japan, and it traces the ways that he tied his social visions to a dynamic system of visual and narrative forms. author analyzes Kurosawa's entire career and places the films in context by drawing on the director's autobiography--a fascinating work that presents Kurosawa as a Kurosawa character and the story of his life as the kind of spiritual odyssey witnessed so often in his films. After examining the development of Kurosawa's visual style in his early work, The Warrior's Camera explains how he used this style in subsequent films to forge a politically committed model of filmmaking. It then demonstrates how the collapse of Kurosawa's efforts to participate as a filmmaker in the tasks of social reconstruction led to the very different cinematic style evident in his most recent films, works of pessimism that view the world as resistant to change.

Silks by Sea: Trade, Technology, and Enterprise in China and Japan

Although East Asia's silk trade with the West stretched far back into antiquity, the middle and later years of the nineteenth century witnessed a remarkable growth in the European and American demand for silk. This imparted a tremendous impetus to the Chinese and Japanese industries. For some eighty years, from the 1850s through the 1930s, trade flourished until the coming of synthetic fibers and world war curtailed its growth. The rise of so large an international business obviously had a significant impact on these countries, one that was particularly profound in the case of Japan. When the upsurge in trade began, both China and Japan were at roughly comparable stages in their economic development, but when the trade ended with the onset of war, it was Japan, not China, which had emerged as one of the leading industrial nations of the world. While few would contend that silk alone, however important, accounted for this differing course of national development, the dissimilar paths followed by the Chinese and Japanese silk industries not only reflected many themes characteristic of business enterprise in those countries but also typified their divergent national experience during this dramatic era of economic growth.
