Legal Reconstruction of the Authority of Tapping by the Corruption Eradication Commission in Corruption Crime Investigation Based on Justice Value

This study aims to analyze the weaknesses and reconstruct regulations on the Authority of the Corruption Eradication Commission in Wiretapping Corruption Crimes which have not been fair so far because the regulation regarding wiretapping authority is still sectoral in nature and there is no specific law on wiretapping using the constructivism paradigm, the type of research in the form of non-doctrinal law, and a juridical-empirical approach. The results of this study show that the weaknesses in terms of legal culture include evidence used in criminal proof that is still limited to the Criminal Procedure Code and the law enforcement culture in Indonesia is still positivist in nature. The phrase "accountable to the supervisory board" in Article 12C paragraph (2) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Law) is not based on Pancasila values of justice and does not have binding legal force. Therefore, a legal reconstruction is needed by strengthening the authority of the Corruption Eradication Commission to carry out wiretapping to prevent and eradicate criminal acts of corruption through the reconstruction of Article 12C in particular Article 12C paragraph (2) of Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2002 concerning The Corruption Eradication Commission stated that "Wiretapping which has been completed must be accounted for to the Leaders of the Corruption Eradication Commission and notified to the Supervisory Board no later than 14 (fourteen) working days after the Wiretapping was completed".

EVALUATING TURNAROUND STRATEGIES AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE IN A SMALL BUSINESS–A STUDY OF EKO SUPPORT SERVICE LIMITED.

Numerous associations today experience authoritative decay sooner or later in their life cycles as a result of both outside and inside factors. Much of the time, associations face decline when they neglect to perceive and adjust to outer and interior tensions that compromise the association's presence. The reaction to such circumstances is quite often a significant amount of work to "turn the organization around". This study seeks to examine the effects of turnaround strategies on organizational performance of Eko Support Service Limited. The researcher used a structured questionnaire to collect data. The population of the study was 400 and a sample of 200 respondents was obtained via the Taro Yamane formula. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as simple percentages and the relationship between the variables of the model was tested using linear regression analysis. The study found that there is a positive and significant effect of diversification strategy on market share (R2 = 0.127, at p<0.05) and the F-Value yielded 9.335. The result of hypothesis 2 also indicates a positive significant effect of retrenchment strategy on profitability (R2 = 0.388, at p<0.05) and F-Value yielded 60.793 and lastly, top management re-organization strategy has a significant effect on organizational efficiency (R2 = 0.116, at p<0.05) and F-Value yielded 13.034. The study, therefore, concludes top-level management have significant roles to play indecision-making and conceptual skill regarding turnaround strategies and their applicability. The study recommends that top management re-organization in terms of structure, people, leadership, and organizational culture should be given priority in times of distress as this has proven to be a measure to improve organization efficiency.

Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean World at the Turn of the First Millenniumce: Networks, Commodities and Cultural Reception

Archaeological materials from the Mediterranean world in Southeast Asia are scarce and their social context and cultural implications are rarely considered, while objects in Mediterranean style are often misinterpreted or overlooked. Concomitant to the increasing implementation of laboratory analysis, the range of new evidence, especially coming from recently excavated sites in Thailand and Myanmar, along with the reinterpretation of earlier data now brings the potential to compare different regions, and to discuss possible variations in terms both of the diversity and density of Roman materials. This study includes Mediterranean imports produced between the last centuriesbceand first centuriesce, as well as Asia-produced inspired objects that integrate Mediterranean elements to varying degrees, combining new data and re-analysed materials. The paper not only contributes to building the sequence of cultural exchanges, but also interprets in cultural terms the varying Mediterranean elements present.

Post-Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Management and Implementation in Rural Areas: Review and Lessons from Dujiangyan, Wenchuan Earthquake

Housing reconstruction plays a crucial role in renovating disaster-hit areas. Rural areas are considerably different from urban areas in terms of geographic environment, building size, residential culture, and social organization. Therefore, post-disaster recovery and reconstruction models for urban areas cannot be applied directly to disaster-hit rural areas. This study, based on the experience of rural housing reconstruction after the Wenchuan earthquake, identified key strategic issues in housing reconstruction that must be addressed to achieve the goal of “building back better” in the future. By taking the experience of Dujiangyan as our reference, the study found that the following strategies are important for successful housing reconstruction in rural areas: (1) actively involve disaster victims through a participatory institutional design; (2) coordinate the interests of governments, markets, and disaster victims and the functions of living, production, and ecology through a classified housing reconstruction system; and (3) activate the quota for rural collective construction land and create a new source of funding for housing reconstruction through the market circulation of urban-rural land. Additionally, in the context of urban-rural integration, changes in land use can lead to rural spatial reconstruction and sustainable regional development, providing a reference for formulating optimal post-disaster reconstruction strategies.

What Makes a Hospital Excellent? A Qualitative Study on the Organization and Management of Five Leading Public Hospitals in China.

To summarize the organizational and management experiences and explore the organizational theoretical model of five leading public hospitals in China. Purposive sampling was used to select five leading hospitals in different regions of China under the National Health Commission and Provincial Health Commission as study hospitals for the study. From August 2021 to March 2022, 8 leaders and 39 managers from these hospitals were surveyed using semi-structured interviews. The data and information were analyzed in four dimensions using thematic analysis and grounded theory, focused on summarizing the experiences and practices of China's leading hospitals in organizational system, culture, operations and performance management, and employee development. This study complied with the COREQ guidelines for reporting qualitative research. An organizational system model of the characteristics of hospital excellence was developed using four core attributes: organizational system, organizational culture, operations and performance management, and employee development; the model was named the System-Culture-Operation-Performance-Employee (SCOPE) model. Organization and management among leaders and managers in China's leading hospitals are based on the SCOPE process, resulting in employees' well-being, patients' positive outcomes, and organizational excellence. In terms of hospital culture, while adhering to the Hippocratic Oath, the hospital is deeply influenced by traditional Chinese culture, which emphasizes "benevolence" and "love", leading all staff to adhere to "patient-centered care and service." In terms of operations management, a separate operations management department is responsible for hospital operations and performance assessment. As for employee development, the staff's sense of reverence for their profession is emphasized and a reasonable salary system and good practice environment are established to promote staff motivation. The SCOPE model reveals the perspectives of leaders and managers in China's leading hospitals regarding organization and management under a Chinese cultural background. These findings can complement the existing literature on hospital management systems.

TOPONIM WILAYAH KOTA PEKANBARU: ETNISITAS, PENGGUNAAN BAHASA, DAN CAMPUR KODE

Urban areas have developed rapidly in terms of demography and culture. This is because urban areas attract people who are searching for higher income and a better life than those in rural areas. Demographical and cultural development in urban areas often affects local culture. One example can be found in Pekanbaru City, Riau Province, Indonesia. The Riau Malays, the city’s native ethnic group, no longer dominates the city’s demographical landscape. In fact, the Minangkabaus as a migrant ethnic group actually dominate Pekanbaru City. However, there is still a limited body of documentation of and research on the language and culture in Pekanbaru City. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the toponyms of various areas in Pekanbaru City. This research is also intended to reveal the meaning of less popular local toponyms to provide valuable information for the general public. This research used the qualitative method with the toponymic approach. Data consist of all sub-district names in Pekanbaru City. Analysis was conducted to classify those names based on their basic toponymy, focusing on their lexico-semantic aspects. The meaning of those toponyms was obtained from interviews with selected respondents. In addition, this study also connects toponymy with various sociolinguistic aspects, especially ethnicity, language use, and code-mixing. Results show that most local toponyms in Pekanbaru City refer to certain geographical conditions, trees, hopes, and rivers. Furthermore, most local toponyms contain roots which originated from Indonesian, Riau Malay, and Javanese languages. In terms of ethnicity, Pekanbaru City is dominated by the Minangkabaus, Riau Malays, and Javanese. The dominant languages in Pekanbaru City are Indonesian, Minang, and Riau Malay. Code- mixing in local toponyms mostly occur between Indonesian and Javanese. However, not all sub-district names have identifiable toponymic meaning, so further research is needed to complement the existing results.

Adopting Flexible Management Strategies to Transform Traditional Street Vendors into Sightseeing Night Markets

Although the problems left by the traditional stall economy have been solved, there are still many loopholes. Stallers need to survive, cities need to manage, and how to better promote the development of the stall economy has become a topic that must be explored. How to achieve a balance between urban construction and maintaining the "human fireworks" has become a difficult problem, so the viewpoint is proposed to develop the traditional street stall economy in the direction of sightseeing night markets. This article uses social interviews to uncover issues related to people's livelihoods, citing literature and charts for argumentation. Based on an understanding of the historical evolution of the night market economy, starting from a demand-oriented and management-oriented perspective, it analyzes the people's welfare brought by the tourism night market in terms of consumption, employment, and culture after achieving the transformation. Finally, it reflects on the existing problems of the tourism night market and applies flexible management thinking to address the existing problems from the perspectives of culture, subject, health, space and propose feasible measures for digitization. By building a sightseeing night market, empowering the service industry with a stall economy, and managing the night market through a people-oriented flexible management strategy, the benefits are significant.

Potential of the Digital Information Platform Applied in Promotion of Rural Landscape in China: From Preliminary Practices to Framework Conception

The rural landscape is an integrated system of tangible and intangible cultural heritages in rural areas, which includes multiple attributes in terms of culture, spirit and nature. The multi-dimensional, holistic protection and promotion of the rural landscape is considered to be a challenging topic in the academic circle. In the past two decades, digital information platforms have been widely used in the field of protecting cultural heritage because of their convenience, as well as their cross-temporal and systematic nature. However, a digital information platform that is specifically designed for a rural landscape is still in the initial stage of experimentation and exploration, and there is a lack of systematic understanding and overall framework conception. In this paper, with the preliminary practice of the rural landscape digital information platform (RLDIP) in China in the past two decades as the example, a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis is conducted to deeply explore the data source, data type, data organization and functional structure of the platform samples. The common characteristics, potential in application and typical problems of the current platform are summarized. What is more, based on the need for a comprehensive rural revitalization in such developing countries as China, a framework conception of the rural landscape digital information platform (RLDIP) is proposed, and its data-classification system, functional structure and digital process are identified. This study will provide a theoretical basis and technical reference for the digital information platform to develop its potential in overall protection, coordinated development and sustainable management of the rural landscape in the future.

Asian Criminology: Its Contribution in Linking Global North and South

AbstractIn recent years, Asian criminology and Southern criminology have drawn scholarly attention to the profound divide between Western and non-Western societies, or the Global North and Global South, in criminological knowledge production. Perspectives from Asian and Southern criminology expose these divides and propose critical ways to correct the hegemony of Western over non-Western, or Northern over Southern, knowledge production. For the contemporary movement of decolonization of knowledge, a particular contribution of Asian criminology is to link Western and non-Western, or Northern and Southern, criminological science. As Sandra Walklate concluded, “Asian criminology … stands at the positive intersection of the north–south and east–west in terms of geography and culture. It is well placed to think differently, both conceptually and methodologically, about the criminological enterprise, and the debates that such different thinking might generate.” This article reviews the divide in criminology between the Global North and South. Based on the framework of the Asian criminological paradigm, Asian criminology has made major contributions to bridging the divide between the North and the South through academic institutionalization and theoretical development strategies.

Providers' Understanding of Cancer Aetiology and Supportive Features for Indigenous Palliative Cancer Care Service Provision in Kenya.

Palliative care is a fundamental component of providing people-centred health services to cancer patients. However, the primary pillars of indigenous palliative care such as provider understanding of cancer, its aetiology, and features are undocumented. We sought to understand Traditional Health Providers (THPs) understanding of cancer aetiology, and the functional features that support indigenous palliative cancer care service provision in Kenya. The study used a mixed methods cross-sectional design. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to 193 THPs, who self-reported to manage cancer patients. The findings were enriched and validated through member checking in 6 focus group discussions and five journey mapping in-depth interviews. Despite diversity in culture and experience among the indigenous providers in Kenya, their description of cancer etiology and their management practices and primary goal were similar. Cancer was consistently described as a deadly life-deforming disease by 61.1% of THPs (n = 118/193) and attributed to chemicals and toxins in the body 41.5% (n = 80). The indigenous palliative-care system was reported to be characterized by five tiered levels of care, diversity in expertise and experience, shared and consultative process (60%) and family involvement in medical decision (59.5%). Herbal regimen (60.1%) was found to be the cornerstone of informal palliative care blended with nutrition management 78.2% (n = 151), lifestyle changes 63.7% (n = 123) and counseling services 55.9% (n = 108). Payments for service were arbitrarily made in cash or in kind. The features of indigenous palliative care services are informed by the providers' distinctive cultural terms and descriptions of cancer and cancer aetiology. Shared and consultative protocols, regimen exchange, referral to cascaded care, and caregiver involvement were all important palliative-care clues to saving and enhancing lives. The features provide context for development of indigenous palliative care framework, engagement of policy makers, and promotion of culturally-inclusive indigenous palliative care model for adoption.

Kebijakan Pajak Karbon Sebagai Strategi Pembangunan Ekonomi Berkelanjutan

The decline in the earth's climate was the cause for the birth of the 2015 Paris Agreement which was ratified by Indonesia through Law Number 16 of 2016 concerning the Paris Agreement on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as a form of commitment from the government to address climate problems in Indonesia. One of the strategic efforts made by the government is to implement a carbon tax policy to reduce the increase in carbon emissions which was accommodated in Article 13 of Law Number 7 of 2021 concerning Harmonization of Tax Regulations. The implementation of a carbon tax policy is an implementation of Pancasila economic principles which focus on creating sustainable economic development by harmonizing the balance between economic growth and improving environmental quality. The implementation of the carbon tax policy is also a manifestation of the fifth precept of Pancasila which aims to fulfill the constitutional rights of the people as stipulated in Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia by creating corrective justice in the economic and environmental fields. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the application of carbon tax policies in order to achieve the goals of sustainable economic development in Indonesia. The writing method used is juridical-normative using statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used is secondary data through literature study on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results of this paper show that the implementation of carbon tax policies is in line with Pancasila economic principles and is a strategic effort in creating a green investment climate, as well as increasing state revenue from the tax sector. However, strengthening is needed in terms of substance, structure, and legal culture in implementing the policy.

Ethnomathematics Approaches at Middle School Textbooks

In this research, Middle School Mathematics Curriculum and Middle School Mathematics Textbooks were examined in terms of ethnomathematics approach. Answers were sought to the questions of 'how is it related to culture?' within the subject of acquisitions, content (lecture), learning-teaching process (activities) and evaluation (questions) in the books prepared within the scope of the Middle School Mathematics Curriculum implemented in Türkiye. In this study, document analysis -which is a qualitative research method, was conducted. Examples of mathematical tasks suitable for these achievements were examined in the textbooks of all Middle school grades (5-8th grades) published by the Ministry of National Education, which were prepared in accordance with the Mathematics Curriculum (5-8th Grade) published in 2018 and the curriculum. The examinations were made in the context of the relationship between acquisitions, content, learning-teaching process and evaluation with culture. Considering these four titles, only two acquisitions were associated with culture in the Mathematics Middle School Curriculum, which includes a total of 52 acquisitions in the sources examined. When the textbooks are examined in terms of content, activity and evaluation, it is seen that culture is emphasized in subjects such as Numbers and Operations, Geometry and Measurement, Algebra, Data Processing as a field of learning. The emphasis on culture in terms of content and learning-teaching process is equal when examined of these two titles. Association with culture is rare (with 6 question) in the evaluation part.
