Daya Saing Ekspor Lemak Kakao Indonesia Di Pasar Internasional

International trade can be defined as trade transaction activities, carried out by citizens of a country and foreign nationals based on mutual agreement. Cocoa is one of the leading commodities struggling for export. Indonesian cocoa exports have changed in composition, cocoa butter contributes the largest export when compared to exports of other Indonesian processed cocoa products. The increasing world cocoa consumption will be an opportunity for Indonesia to increase cocoa butter exports. This study aims to: (1) Analyse the competitiveness of Indonesian cocoa butter exports in the international market based on comparative advantages. (2) Analyse the competitiveness of Indonesian cocoa butter exports in the international market based on competitive advantages. The object of this study focuses on the position and competitiveness of Indonesian cocoa butter exports in the international market by comparing the largest exporting countries on cocoa butter (HS 1804). The analysis methods used in this study were RCA, Product Mapping, and ECI The results of RCA analysis showed that Indonesian cocoa butter exports have comparative advantages and based on Product Mapping analysis, Indonesian cocoa butter exports are in group A, which means they have comparative advantages and export specialization. The results of the ECI analysis showed that cocoa butter exports have a competitive advantage and showed that Indonesia's cocoa butter exports have an upward trend. Indonesia has the opportunity to become a major country in dominating the cocoa butter market in the international market both in terms of comparative and competitive advantages. For this reason, in increasing competitiveness, efforts are needed to improve the quality of cocoa beans so that it will have an impact on the downstream industry, one of which is cocoa butter. There is also a need for further analysis of what factors affect the export of cocoa butter in Indonesia and its competitors.

Human rights in international law, state responsibilities and accountability mechanisms: a case study of Iran

ABSTRACT This research presents a critical theoretical and practical re-examination of the link between human rights' issues and politics at national and international levels. The study of human rights is an inherently multidisciplinary enterprise. The paper provides an insight into the relations between diplomacy and human rights and discusses how the latter are exploited for political and commercial aims. This study focuses on the case and constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI), and the problem of hostage taking. An internationally-oriented study and based on theoretical arguments and an empirical research approach-notably by using several real cases of ordinary individuals of foreign and dual nationalities who became hostages and the subject of political games and financial conflicts between Iran and the Western countries-the paper highlights the issue of hostage taking of individuals by a state as a political policy and prisoner swaps involving financial and commercial deals. The paper provides evidence of the substantial suffering of the hostages and their families. The paper makes an academic contribution to the literature-the unlawful act of hostage taking involving a state has rarely been discussed -and addresses the legal vacuum in international law and human rights conventions regarding the topic.

Determination of the Risk Factors of Slaughterhouses and Butcher shops in Public Health

The current study was designed to understand the present status of beef markets as well as the quality of beef in selected five upazilas (Dinajpur Sadar, Parbotipur, Nawabgonj, Fulbari, and Birampur) of Dinajpur district, Bangladesh. These included cleaning hands completely before handling beef (100%), cleaning the butchery on a daily and weekly basis (12%), cleaning meat-cutting knives before use (100%), wearing hand gloves (8%), wearing a protective coat (12%), wearing a head cover (2%) while handling and selling meat, and growing long fingernails (55%). Muslims make up the majority of the population in the chosen areas, and 100% of the animals are slaughtered according to the halal method. The rs, specific slaughter house, washing of animals before slaughter, ante-mortem inspection by the government authority, regular post-mortem inspection, and preservation of unsold beef were positively correlated with the biosecurity maintenance of meat practiced and had a significant (p<0.01) positive relationship with biosecurity practice. The rs value of preservation of unsold beef had a positive correlation but was weakly (rs<0.3) correlated. Butchers addressed the following issues: middlemen (23%), disorganized markets (21%), capital (17%), extraction (15%), importation of animals from foreign nations (14%), irregular investigations (8%), and other issues (2%). Various customer perspectives were used to gather some problem findings for the beef market survey, including excessive cost (37%), inadequate market oversight (28%), unclean surroundings (14%), adulteration (11%), and others (10%). The relevant authorities in the livestock business and the government could step in to address the existing problems.

Fostering Economic Sustainability within Rural Families in South Africa through Visual Arts and Crafts

This paper investigated interventions that can restore the importance of visual arts and crafts in fostering economic sustainability within rural families, in particular, young rural community members. Prior to colonization, visual arts and crafts played a significant role in providing economic subsistence for many households in South Africa. During the inception of formal education, that practice was replaced by scholastic education, prioritizing theoretical knowledge over practical experiential learning, leading to a gradual decline in the subsistence lifestyle. Marxism Theory (1848), which underpins this study, posits that within a capitalist economic framework, workers are exploited whilst company owners amass additional money. Craft manufacturing has the potential to augment self-generated income, making a valuable contribution to economic growth whilst avoiding any form of exploitation. The qualitative convenient sample comprised fifteen school dropouts and graduates from both South Africans and foreign nationals and was studied through face-to-face and telephonically informal conversations. The findings revealed that insufficient application of traditional visual arts and crafts skills in elementary education; inadequate delivery of government services to promote visual arts and crafts entrepreneurship; and the divergent perspectives in defining the concept of “civilization and freedom” impede efforts to achieve economic sustainability. The study recommended that community members should not only rely on government support services but instead utilize government grants to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and adopt subsistence lifestyles that rely on natural resources for sustainable economic growth. The government should also support the establishment of training centres where skilled individuals can impart knowledge and skills to the younger generation and monitor the efficacy of non-governmental organizations. This study not only enhances the well-being of people and communities but also offers valuable material for academic research in several fields. It strengthens comprehension of cultural, economic, and social phenomena within the framework of sustainable development.

Arrival Infrastructures: Segregation of Displaced Migrants and Processes of Urban Change in Athens

Recent treatment of accommodation and arrival infrastructures for asylum seekers and refugees has fuelled international research on refugee reception policies in urban environments and on the consequences of related initiatives of the European Union and international organizations such as the UNHCR. Using Athens as a case study, this article provides empirical evidence to revive the theoretical treatment of the importance of arrival and accommodation infrastructures in urban areas in transition. We collected and compiled data from four sources: the 2011 population census, the 2018 ESTIA accommodation program and the UNHCR Site Management Support (SMS) Reports of Temporary Accommodation Sites and Reception and Identification Centres (RICs), and a primary survey of services for asylum seekers and refugees. After the geocoding of data, we calculate indices for key dimensions of the segregation of accommodated asylum seekers and foreign nationals. We discuss the findings, seeking to highlight how the location and the composition of accommodation infrastructures has been influenced by a wider process of urban change and adaptations to global forces, leading not only to the transformation of inner-city zones but also suburban and peri-urban areas.

True and False Worship in the Prophecy of Zephaniah

In the prophecy of Zephaniah, the fate of Judah and that of foreign nations in the purposes of God are intertwined, both in regard to judgement and salvation. Judah needs to learn from God’s dealings with the nations. God’s verdict and judgement on the nations (1.14–18; 2.4–15) are lessons for sinful Jerusalem, which is under the same threat (2.1–3; 3.1–8). Likewise, but more positively, and this is the focus of the present article, cultic unfaithfulness in contemporary Judah (1.4–6) is set in contrast to the prospect of future cultic devotion to Yhwh by the nations of the world (2.11b; 3.9–10). The prediction of God’s favourable dealings with the nations of the world is a salutary lesson to the Judahites and should motivate them to reform the cult and faithfully serve Yhwh.

Language as a Tool of Divisive Politics: Perspectives on Foreign Nationals in South Africa

The role of language in a diverse and democratic society is critical for many reasons: first, it serves as a vital tool for the realisation of the right to freedom of expression. Secondly, it brings into confluence two other rights: the rights to dignity and equality. When language has the potential to cause hurt or harm, or incite others towards hatred, discrimination, or violence, then law as an instrument must be relied upon to regulate it. Political rhetoric uttered by top politicians in South Africa does not reflect the truth from a policy perspective; it incites hatred towards foreign nationals, shatters communities as fear and suspicion fill individuals who target foreign nationals and is counterproductive when one thinks of nation-building. The rhetoric exceeds the limits of legally protected speech. In addition, scapegoating foreign nationals for the country's socio-economic woes is not only dishonest but is a form of political corruption.

A Study on Legislation for the Influx of Foreign Human Resources: Drawing Insights from Japanese Cases

In December 2018, the Japanese government introduced “Initiatives to Accept Foreign Nationals and for the Realization of Society of Harmonious Coexistence.” This initiative aimed at a more robust and comprehensive approach toward accepting and integrating foreign talents. The Japanese government also developed the Roadmap for the Realization of a Society of Harmonious Coexistence with Foreign Nationals. This roadmap delineates policies to achieve a symbiotic society and outlines the vision for an environment where foreigners coexist harmoniously with Japanese nationals. With an anticipated rise in the foreign population in Japan, the Japanese government designated the Ministry of Justice as the central authority for overseeing the acceptance and integration of foreign talents across governmental levels. In Japan, this was acknowledged as pivotal for the nation’s future rather than solely addressing labor shortages and the plan involved a comprehensive, longterm policy review. South Korea also faces various societal challenges due to a declining birthrate, making the acceptance of foreign immigrants indispensable. Japan’s pursuit of a gradual transition to an immigration society while promoting acceptance and coexistence of foreign talent presents significant implications for Korea, which is seeking to introduce a new immigration policy.

“THE NUMBER ONE CHINA-JAPAN CAMERA HOUSE”: CHIYO YOKO PHOTO SUPPLIES AND THE BUSINESS OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN INTERWAR SHANGHAI

Chiyo Yoko Photo Supplies emerged as a leading specialty store catering to the highly international population of photographers in the international treaty port of Shanghai, the beating heart of art, culture, and commerce in early twentieth-century China. Drawing on Chinese, Japanese, and English-language period sources, this essay reconstructs the profile of this influential Japanese retailer, examining its committed investments in the business and culture of photography during this formative period of amateur photography in China. The store’s multifaceted retail marketing strategies, ranging from advertising in multiple languages to its backing of a photographic society and organization of a large-scale international exhibition, cultivated a cosmopolitan clientele base spanning the diverse communities of Chinese and foreign nationals in the city. This case study recaptures the transnational dynamics and cross-border movements of people and goods that empowered photography as a business, which in turn galvanized the popularization of amateur photography during this period of heightened national consciousness in modern China.

PECULIARITIES OF TEACHING WHILE DEALING WITH PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND THEIR ACCURATE COMPREHENSION AT ENGLISH LESSONS

The modern system of foreign language teaching is characterized by the fact that practical knowledge of a foreign language has become a necessity for every educated person to meet requirements of the society. A foreign language has a beneficial effect on the general level of people's culture and promotes communication. In the conditions of learning a foreign language, the need to include elements of the linguistic culture of a foreign nation in the content of education is increasing. Within the framework of this approach, it is necessary to saturate the subject content of the learners’ speech with country-specific materials oriented to the dialogue of cultures. A number of studies on this problem have served as an incentive to determine the obligatory introduction of phraseological units for the formation of linguistic competence of learners at foreign language lessons. Thus, it is widely recognized that phraseological units are helpful and beneficial to the learner of English as a foreign language. The study focuses on the peculiarities of teaching phraseological units at English lessons. The present research investigates the main features of modern theoretical heritage of phraseology and analyzes the possibilities of their use for the improvement of the effectiveness of teaching phraseological units at English lessons. We design exercises for teachers and learners regarding the peculiarities of teaching and studying English phraseological units at English lessons.
 In our article we explore special aspects of phraseology studying at Ukrainian and English lessons, we analyze basic methods of phraseology studying, we consider comprehension of similarities and differences in the scope of meanings of the studied phraseological units with those existing in the native language. Defining a phraseological unit in the text and the ability to find the proper equivalent to it during the translation process is the most important stage for the teacher and students. The results of our research have shown that through learning and practicing phraseological units, students gain a new experience in solving communicative situations. Students admit the importance of studying phraseological units at English lessons in developing their communicative skills. It should be emphasized that learning phraseological units in a particular context enhances student’s motivation for learning English and makes it easier to remember such a kind of language units.

Beyond borders: Understanding the inclusion challenges and motivators of foreign employees: Suggestions for sustainable human resources practices

This study critically examines the multifaceted dynamics of foreign employee integration within the Czech Republic, with a specific focus on the Mladá Boleslav region. Conducted prior to the Ukrainian crisis, this research serves as a crucial baseline for understanding integration in a pre-crisis context and provides comparative insights into the evolving challenges and opportunities amid the subsequent migration movements. The study explores various aspects of integration and inclusion, drawing upon migration theories, economic factors, and sociological perspectives to understand the motivators and challenges faced by foreigners, particularly in light of the majority society’s perception, which often leans towards skepticism and negativity. The research methodology builds on grounded theory and integrates both quantitative and qualitative approaches, utilizing surveys and semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of foreign nationals, with an emphasis on immigrant women. A key finding of the study is the significant role of employers in facilitating integration. The paper discusses how businesses, through inclusive policies and practices, can profoundly influence the integration experience. Cooperation between employers, local integration centers, and other relevant organizations emerges as vital, providing additional resources and support systems to enhance the integration process. The study concludes by emphasizing the critical role of various stakeholders, particularly employers, in shaping sustainable human resources practices that foster a more inclusive and harmonious society.

Changes in the Composition, Equipment and Tactics of the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion during the Indochina War

For nearly a hundred years after its creation, the French Foreign Legion consisted exclusively of infantry units, supplemented only temporarily by “mounted” infantry units, depending on the needs of the theatre of operations. These units did not exceed the size of a company, and their members used their mounts (horses, mules, camels) only to move around, and continued to fight their battles on foot. Based on this positive experience, the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment was created in 1922, and was then successfully deployed in Syria and Morocco between the two World Wars, and with varying effectiveness in France, Tunisia and Germany during the Second World War. The First Indochina War broke out in 1946 and the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment joined the conflict in Southeast Asia in 1947, only to leave in 1955 as one of the last French units. During the war, the ranks of the troop, composed mainly of foreign nationals, were reinforced within a short time by a significant number of local soldiers to alleviate the permanent shortage. In addition, depending on local geography, the unit was equipped with armoured and amphibious vehicles, and sometimes ships, which were used to develop new tactics and operate effectively in these new and very different circumstances. In view of its successes, the unit was greatly improved, originally consisting of 7 squadrons, and by the end of the conflict it had grown to 18 squadrons.

Analisis Kriminologi Kasus Kristen Gray: Pelanggaran Peraturan Pandemi dan Penyalahgunaan Izin Tinggal Keimigrasian di Indonesia

This journal tries to discuss the Kristen Gray case from the perspective of a criminological approach. Criminology is a scientific discipline that is used to understand and overcome crimes that occur in society by studying the origins, causes and impacts of criminal behavior as well as the justice system for these criminal acts. Kristen Gray is a foreign citizen who comes from the United States, she became controversial because of statements on her personal social media which promoted and invited other foreign nationals to follow her, where she lives in Bali cheaply but can feel luxury in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic crisis and stating that Indonesia is a country that is friendly to the LGBT community or people, meanwhile in Indonesia itself, this issue is still very taboo. After being checked by immigration officers, it was discovered that he was also working in Indonesia, namely selling electronic books and opening a consulting service on how to enter Indonesia in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic illegally, at which time human movement was strictly restricted to reduce the spread of this virus. Based on this, he and his LGBT partner were finally deported from Indonesia for allegedly violating Article 75 paragraph (1) of Law no. 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration, which in essence he is suspected of not complying with the laws currently in force in Indonesia and disrupting public notifications. The case of Kristen Gray was studied using theories in criminology, namely Opportunity Theory, Hedonistic Psychology Theory, and Differential Association Theory. Differential Association Theory is used as the reason why Kristen Gray's case must be immediately handled by local immigration authorities.

Communication and Coordination Strengthening The Synergy of Cross-Border Traffic of Foreigners at The Entikong Border, West Kalimantan

The cross-border traffic of foreigners in Entikong increased when the land border between Indonesia and Malaysia was opened in April 2022. The surge in activity has forced local governments to work together to ensure that monitoring runs well. The geographical condition of Entikong, which is dominated by forests and local plantations, also allows for the movement of foreigners outside official routes. Therefore, cooperation between government agencies and security forces is needed. Immigration then became one of the agencies that played an important role in supervising foreign nationals (WNA). This agency has a special board that monitors and analyzes every foreigner who enters Indonesian territory. Through a qualitative descriptive approach and data collection techniques from interviews, this research aims to observe the synergy and work system between Entikong regional government agencies carrying out supervision. The research is divided into three discussions, namely monitoring the cross-border traffic of foreigners based on Immigration Law at the Entikong border, control and supervision of foreigners by the PORA Team (Foreigner Surveillance Team) of Entikong Immigration Office, and synergy in monitoring the cross-border traffic of foreigners in the EntikongPLBN work environment. The final results of the research show that the PORA Team of Immigration Office Class II Entikong is trying to strengthen the synergy between its members so that coordination in conveying information can run smoothly and cases of violations will decrease. However, increased intensity is needed in monitoring cross-border traffic of foreigners in joint operations.

Dietary Patterns and Factors Associated with Food Affinity in Pregnant Women from Quito, Ecuador.

Nutrition during pregnancy influences perinatal outcomes and predispositions to chronic diseases. A prospective cohort study was carried out with the objectives of describing the dietary patterns in the pregnant population in the city of Quito, Ecuador and analysing the sociodemographic and lifestyle factors that influence the adherence to each dietary pattern. The body mass index was calculated for each patient, and the patients were classified according to the Atalah criteria. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was also applied. The dietary patterns were assessed using a dietary survey with a 24 h recall on two occasions. A total of 535 pregnant women were included. A positive association was found between the pattern "dairy, salads and sweet snacks/dressings" and foreign nationality (β = 0.82 (0.43;1.21)). The "refined carbohydrates" pattern was negatively associated with education equal to or less than 7 years and an income of up to one basic salary (β = -0.59 (-1.05; -0.14)). The "traditional Ecuadorian" pattern showed a positive association with being born in the coastal region of Ecuador (β = 0.62 (0.22; 1.01)). This study identified three dietary patterns in pregnant women and their possible associations with certain sociodemographic factors. More studies are needed to better understand these patterns as well as to analyse their nutritional and caloric properties.

Diffusion of Innovations in the Far East of Russia during the Late 19<sup>th</sup> to Early 20<sup>th</sup> Centuries (by the Example of Electrification)

The article analyzes the historical conditions, identifies channels, agents and features of the distribution of innovative products in the Russian Far East during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, using electrification as an example. It determines the role of electro-technical innovations in the modernization process of the region, highlighting the favorable historical conditions that developed for the diffusion of innovations in the Far East. The government policy, which aimed at opening up the Far Eastern economy and attracting foreign entrepreneurs, as well as the high susceptibility of the Far Eastern population to innovations, accelerated diffusion processes. The primary agents and translators of innovations were foreign nationals, particularly entrepreneurs from Germany. The study concludes that the diffusion processes of electrical innovations became the most crucial element of the modernization of the region, playing a critical role in forming the Far Eastern industry, developing urban amenities, changing everyday culture and improving the population's quality of life. The historical experience of electrification of the Far East at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries shows that the diffusion of innovations occurs as Russia moves along the path of modernization, its readiness for openness and strengthening contacts with foreign countries.

Does the Cancellation Victory Foreign Nationals in Local Democracy: Evidence from United Kingdom

The main requirement to become a regional head candidate is to be an Indonesian citizen. In the 2020 Pilkada, it was found that a foreign citizen won the Regional Head Election. This certainly raises a legal dilemma or polemic regarding the inauguration process. Whether the person concerned can be inaugurated as regional head or canceled. The formulation of the problem raised in this research is about the legal implications of the victory of foreigners in the Regional Head Election and the legal construction of the cancellation of the inauguration. This research is normative juridical research with a concept approach, legislation approach, and case approach. The results of the study found four things that resulted from the victory of foreigners in the Regional Head Election. Namely, the weakness of the regulation, the negligence of the organizers, the validity period of the dispute resolution of the limited nomination requirements, and the confusion to advance or continue at the inauguration stage. The choice of legal construction as a solution that can be taken is to cancel the inauguration of foreign election winners. The cancelation process can go through the judicial process through the mechanism of disputing the results in the Constitutional Court. Cancellation of the inauguration can also be done by the executive body through a decision from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Risk factors for diagnosis and treatment delay among patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Hunan Province, China.

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a global health threat associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Diagnosis and treatment delays are associated with poor treatment outcomes in patients with MDR-TB. However, the risk factors associated with these delays are not robustly investigated, particularly in high TB burden countries such as China. Therefore, this study aimed to measure the length of diagnosis and treatment delays and identify their risk factors among patients with MDR-TB in Hunan province. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using MDR-TB data from Hunan province between 2013 and 2018. The main outcomes of the study were diagnosis and treatment delay, defined as more than 14days from the date of symptom to diagnosis confirmation (i.e., diagnosis delay) and from diagnosis to treatment commencement (i.e., treatment delay). A multivariable logistic regression model was fitted, and an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to identify factors associated with diagnosis and treatment delay. In total, 1,248 MDR-TB patients were included in this study. The median length of diagnosis delays was 27days, and treatment delays were one day. The proportion of MDR-TB patients who experienced diagnosis and treatment delay was 62.82% (95% CI: 60.09-65.46) and 30.77% (95% CI: 28.27-33.39), respectively. The odds of experiencing MDR-TB diagnosis delay among patients coming through referral and tracing was reduced by 41% (AOR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.45-0.76) relative to patients identified through consultations due to symptoms. The odds of experiencing diagnosis delay among ≥ 65years were 65% (AOR = 0.35, 0.14-0.91) lower than under-15 children. The odds of developing treatment delay among foreign nationalities and people from other provinces were double(AOR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.31-3.06)compared to the local populations. Similarly, the odds of experiencing treatment delay among severely ill patients were nearly 2.5 timeshigher (AOR = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.41-4.42)compared to patients who were not severely ill.On the other hand, previously treated TB cases had nearly 40% (AOR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.42-0.85) lower odds of developing treatment delay compared with new MDR-TB cases. Similarly, other ethnic minority groups had nearly 40% (AOR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.34-0.96) lower odds of experiencing treatment delay than the Han majority. Many MDR-TB patients experience long diagnosis and treatment delays in Hunan province. Strengthening active case detection can significantly reduce diagnosis delays among MDR-TB patients. Moreover, giving attention to patients who are new to MDR-TB treatment, are severely ill, or are from areas outside Hunan province will potentially reduce the burden of treatment delay among MDR-TB patients.
