Film marketing strategy analysis on social media -- A case study of the film “YOLO”

With the development of the current film market and the Internet, it is very important for an excellent film only to have a rich and full plot and its high artistic value. The success of the film is closely related to the marketing and publicity work before and after its release. Based on the massive marketing of “YOLO” on TikTok and Weibo in 2024, this study uses data integration to intuitively analyze its communication effect and influence on the audience. The study found that “YOLO” won greater attention for the film by focusing on “weight loss” through large-scale marketing, and created more discussion heat and national participation for the film by using the interactive mode of “two-way communication”. The factors contained in the film, such as female growth and self-value realization, provided more value for the sustainable communication of the film. The study found that the spread of “YOLO” on social media based on the above multiple dimensions achieved relatively successful marketing, expanded the visibility and attracted the audience's participation, and finally won a high box office. This study provides more methods and angles for reference in the communication of films on social media in the future.

БЮРОКРАТИЧЕСКОЕ ПРЕДСТАВИТЕЛЬСТВО В МНОГОНАЦИОНАЛЬНОМ СООБЩЕСТВЕ КЕНДАРИ В ПЕРИОД С 2007 ПО 2017 ГГ.

Local government personnel is expected to implement a merit-based staffing system. Therefore, this research aims to compile a model of regional staffing system according to the conditions of Kendari City people using a thinking method. Data was collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews with high, middle, and low officials in Kendari City government. The data was analyzed using Coyle's Dynamic System Analysis, whichincludes problem recognition, understanding and system description, qualitative analysis, simulation modelling, as well as policy testing and design. The resultsshow that the management of regional personnelis inefficient due to tribal elements. Therefore, bureaucratic representation enables local wisdom to create a conducive performance atmosphere in impacting harmonization of social life.

New materials about the secret supervision of A. I. Turgenev (reports of gendarmes and agents from the archive of the III Section)

It has long been known in historical literature that the III Section conducted secret supervision of the statesman and public figure of the first half of the XIX century, historian, archaeographer and writer Alexander Ivanovich Turgenev (1784-1845), but researchers rarely turned to the surveillance materials themselves. The purpose of the article is to familiarize readers in more detail with the gendarmerie documents, highlighting the characteristic features of the supervision of A. I. Turgenev in Moscow and Simbirsk. This will allow us to raise questions again about the effectiveness of the supervision of the III Section for cultural figures of Pushkin's time and about the overall value of the reports. In the process of research, it is established how much information from the papers of the III Section correlates with real facts from the life of A. I. Turgenev, which is important for studying the biography of the historian and writer. The article uses a comparative method: the reliability of information from the documents of the III Section is checked by comparing them with information from the correspondence of A. I. Turgenev and his friends and from the formulary list of our hero. In addition, in order to better visualize the specifics of the content of supervision materials, the data are systematized, similar plots are grouped. As a result of the study, we come to the conclusion that A. I. Turgenev knew about the supervision of the III Section for himself. The supervision was not effective, did not lead to the adoption of specific measures against our hero, because there were no legitimate grounds for that. When reviewing the gendarmerie materials, the opinion of the different qualifications of the informants of the III Section, which has developed in historiography, is convincingly confirmed: high gendarmerie officials in their reports admit that Turgenev's speeches and actions were monitored by domestic servants. In general, the analyzed documents expand our understanding of the daily life of A. I. Turgenev in Moscow and Simbirsk, however, caution is required when working with them: the information contained in them is not always confirmed by other sources (this applies to a number of dates of the arrival / departure of our hero, his relationship with his brother and future plans for life).

Persuasive Language Strategies Utilised by the Student Representative Council in Fundraising for Programs

Student Representative Councils (SRC) have an important role to play in fundraising and supporting a variety of student programs and initiatives. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these efforts can often live or die based on how well communication strategies are implemented. The attention of this study is relied on the persuasive language strategies used by SRC in their fundraising communications. Utilizing Aristotle’s model for rhetoric that includes ethos, pathos, and logos the research seeks to determine how these tactics are integrated and ultimately effect fundraising success. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three student representatives, aged between 18 and 21 years old prior to data collection who all hold positions within high office elected through a campus wide council common themes and patterns were identified through cross-case coding, these data are presented in the study. The results suggest that SRCs favor often combining their communications using a mix of credibility (ethos), emotional appeal (pathos), and logical arguments(logos). Keeping your donors up-to-date, personally connecting with them and being more transparent were identified to help in increasing credibility and trust. Such personal emotional stories and images produced advocacy change where data driven evidence-based arguments did not, we also developed a logic model different logs for each department as well budgets which now explain our work in ways that will compel you to donate. One speaks to the literature by illustrating how strategic communication practices are relevant in educational fundraising. Suggesting tangible modifications for SRCs to enhance their persuasiveness, both influencing more effective fundraising results. The scope of future research might be widened by investigating a larger sample and involving multiple institutions as well, to enhance the generalizability. Within this context, the research evidences of importance that persuasive language plays in propelling donors to provide needed financial support towards student activities-an understanding likely beneficial for more successful fundraisers among other collegiate groups.

A Review of Mirjam Galley, Building Communism and Policing Deviance in the Soviet Union: Residential Childcare, 1958–1991. Philadelphia, PA: Routledge, 2020, 240 pp.

Mirjam Galley’s monograph on the history of boarding schools in the USSR from 1958 to 1991 fills a significant gap in the historiography of Soviet boarding institutions. Prior to the publication of this book, there was no in-depth analysis and description of this phenomenon throughout the post-Stalin era. The monograph analyses the historical context which conditioned the project of boarding schools, reconstructs their routine, which the author describes as unchanged during thirty years, and uncovers the personal experiences of boarding school staff and charges. However, the author’s primary interests lie within the domain of management principles. While high officials postulated ideals of care and concern, the key features of these institutions were austere conditions, on the one hand, and the almost total indifference that officials and representatives of state institutions demonstrated towards the project of boarding schools and schoolchildren in particular, on the other hand. Galley outlines how the upbringing of future workers, which was advertised as a duty of the utmost importance, actually depended on the personal goodwill of bureaucrats as well as on the ability of boarding schools’ staff to present the paper results of their work in the best possible manner.

Difference Analysis of the Global Times and the New York Times Reporting on US High Officials' Visit to China: Taking the Visits of Blinken, Yellen, and Kerry as Examples

This study delves into the differences between "Global Times" and "The New York Times" regarding the reporting of visits by high-ranking US officials to China. Through content analysis, a detailed comparative analysis of the reporting strategies, emotional tendencies, and multimedia narratives of the two media outlets was conducted. Both media outlets utilize forms such as text, images, and videos in their multimedia narratives. However, the selection of narrative content and form is influenced by their respective cultural backgrounds, technical capabilities, and audience needs. For example, "Global Times" aligns its content with the Chinese cultural background, whereas "The New York Times" emphasizes reporting in line with the American cultural background. Regarding emotional tendencies, distinct emotional tones are exhibited by the two media outlets. These tendencies relate to the media's social responsibility, cultural background, and audience positioning and resonate with the public's emotional reactions. It was also observed that the media's emotional tendencies might influence the public's emotional identification and participation, potentially leading to emotional biases or conflicts among the audience. From the perspective of reporting strategies, significant differences exist between the two media outlets concerning the selection of reporting themes, focuses, and angles. These differences might be attributed to the media's social responsibility, economic interests, and political stance. They also mirror the distinct approaches of the two countries in foreign policy, cultural exchanges, and public communication. In conclusion, this study unveils the intricate relationship between media reporting and the public's cognition, emotional responses, and behavior.

丙子胡亂과 玄洲 李昭漢의 『瀋館錄』

This study examined ｢Simgwanrok(瀋館錄)｣, which contains the works of Lee So-han(李昭漢, 1598~1645), when he was appointed as a Ububingaeg (右副賓客) and served at Simyanggwan(瀋陽館), focusing on the self- healing epic aspect.
 Due to the defeat of the Byeongja Manchu War[丙子胡亂], Joseon's Crown Prince Sohyeon(昭顯), Grand Prince Bongrim(鳳林), and the sons and attendants of high officials were held hostage in Simyang(瀋陽)'s Simyanggwan(瀋陽館), Jiljagwan(質子館), Dongguan(東館), Seoguan(西館), and Bukguan(北館) for about 9 years. Hyeonju(玄洲)'s ｢Simgwanrok(瀋館錄)｣ contains many works, especially poems written by Prince Bongrim(鳳林), nephew Lee Il-sang(李一相), eldest brother Lee Myeong- han(李明漢), and doctor Chae Deuk-gi(蔡得沂).
 Looking at the self-healing emotional aspect of ｢Simgwanrok(瀋館錄)｣, first of all, looking at the ‘self-perception of the original and the thoughts of the current couple’, it appears that as a Ububingaeg(右副賓客), he received a great blessing from Crown Prince Sohyeon(昭顯) and Grand Prince Bongrim(鳳林) and seemed to have recovered his normal daily life by reciting poetry. He also tried to overcome the worries of reality by being faithful to his public duties. However, behind the scenes, emotions such as ‘comfort’, ‘contempt’, and ‘hesitation’ are based, so we can see the feelings inherent in the reality that Hyeonju(玄洲) faces.
 Next, looking at ‘the harm of separation and the pain of separation’, Hyeonju(玄洲) expresses the sadness of parting with her nephew and eldest brother, the regret of not being able to meet his close friend, the pain of living in a foreign country, and the regret of parting with people he had shared joys and sorrows with. You can see the emotions. This seems to have played a role in healing and overcoming Hyeonju(玄洲)'s sadness by revealing the self-epic that Hyeonju(玄洲) directly experienced through a concrete epic of the work, acting like ‘catharsis’ or ‘free association’.
 Lastly, if we look at the ‘emotion between suppressed anger and blindness’, Hyeonju(玄洲) revealed his true feelings rather bluntly when he was relatively free from the Qing’s surveillance and censorship. Hyeonju(玄洲) longed for the day when he could take revenge and punish the Qing through young and talented people, or he expressed his disdain for the Qing by viewing it as a ‘Hyungnu(匈奴)’ or ‘Manmaek(蠻貊)’. He also expressed the idea that civilization and barbarism are distinguished depending on the ruling entity in river areas. It is understood that through this, he vented his feelings of hatred and disdain for the Qing Dynasty and released his deep-rooted feelings.

TOWARDS THE CRIMINALISATION OF PROMISING/OFFERING A BRIBE AND CONSENTING TO A BRIBE IN KAZAKHSTAN

At present in Kazakhstan, the increase in the number of corrupt criminal offences, including on the partof high officials, heads of a number of Kazakhstani companies, is due to a stronger political will of the headof state to resolutely oppose corruption. Such a desire allows paying attention to criminal law norms, whichoccupy an important place in the set of measures to combat a systemic vice of the state, jeopardising nationalsecurity. The potential of criminal law in anti-corruption policy has not been exhausted. The discussion ofanti-corruption fight is very relevant against the background of possible implementation of norms of anticorruption international standards into the Kazakh criminal law, which contradict the doctrinal provisionsof the Kazakh criminal law. This study is devoted to the assessment of possible criminalisation of promising,offering and agreeing to receive a bribe in order to strengthen the criminal law fight against corruption. Theproposed changes, in the author's opinion, do not allow to hope that they will ultimately serve the realisationof a useful goal of Kazakhstan's anti-corruption policy, and open the ground for aninformed discussion onfurther fight against corruption.

(Invited) Battery System Safety Design Based on Studying the Runaway in Battery Cell

Lithium ion battery systems towards certain military application such as submarines and torpedoes are considered “fire critical applications”. Meaning a fire in the battery system on board a submarine is equal to a lost submarine with many crewmen dead. There have already been critical lithium ion battery fires on board submarines. In the united states a midget submarine were destroyed about fifteen years ago during the development phase of the submarine delaying the incorporation of lithium ion batteries in to marine platforms in the USA by about ten years even though no one were killed by the fire. Four years ago the Russian spy submarine Loshariks lithium ion battery system caught fire during the new battery systems maiden voyage. The fire started when the submarine were at a depth of about 200m below the surface of Barents ocean and 14 crewmen were killed almost all were high ranking officers. Too, be able to come up with a safe battery system design for the Swedish submarines we concluded that we need a strategy for the battery system design. We studied literature, conducted modelling work and carried out a lot of abuse test to understand what happens when a battery cell fails.What happens when a 21700 battery cell is overcharged? First the cell is heated to about 110-115°C and then the membrane between the anode and the cathode melts. In the next step the CIP opens up and hot gas is released at about 125 - 135°C. The cell self-heat itself, the temperature rises fast to about 190-200 ° C, then the gas caught fire, and a jet flame is formed with a temperature above 1100°C. A huge amount of hot gases mixed with sluggish particles is released from the top of the battery cell at high speed. The sluggish particles are black and look like a lava flow and when analysed they are found to be electric conductive. What is also interesting is that the lava particles slowly releases its heat to the surroundings, thus the particles kept at a high temperature for a relatively long-time. The surface of the battery cell reaches a peak temperature of about 300°C. This information is enough to start the battery module design work.Why is a round lithium battery cell the obvious choice for a safe high performing battery system? A runaway in round 21700 battery cell leads to axial expansion of 1-2mm the radial expiation is taken up by the design materials. A runaway in a prismatic or pouch cell battery the horizontal expansion can be several centimetres leading to an inefficient design to be able to take up the expansion of failing battery cell. To be able to do an efficient design to keep down the weight of the battery system the cells can be part of the mechanical design. When organizing the round battery cells symmetrically in a battery module each battery cell will work as springs in the right design material, thus be able to take up energy from an impact from an object. If the incoming object is a bullet at speed of 900m /s and a weight of 50 gram, the symmetrically organized battery cells will absorb the energy fast and only few of the battery cells in the module will be de destroyed and will start to burn.Finally yet importantly, the round battery cells are in most cases smaller than the prismatic battery cells for the same application thus contains less energy per battery cell.One battery cell can always burn, but a propagation in battery module or system is not an option for “Fire Critical Military Applications”.

The Diplomat Dr. Haralampi Sarmadzhiev and His Participation in the 1898 International Anti-Anarchist Conference in Rome

The article discusses the mission of the Bulgarian diplomat Dr. Haralampi Sarmadzhiev (1860-1908) at the International Conference of Rome for the Social Defense Against Anarchists held in 1898 and argues that the participation of the Principality of Bulgaria in this forum represented for the country another step towards achieving full independence. After its liberation in 1878, Bulgaria was still a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, but the Bulgarian government used every opportunity to reaffirm its self-determination and challenge its dependent status. Dr. Sarmadzhiev, born in Bolhrad in a family of wealthy Bessarabian Bulgarians, after graduating from the Bolhrad Gymnasium studied at the University of Bucharest and later in Paris, where he obtained a doctorate in law and became the first Bulgarian lawyer to receive this degree. After completing his studies in Paris, Dr. Sarmadzhiev moved to Bulgaria, just liberated from the Ottoman rule, and served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He held high offices, including that of acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Principality of Bulgaria, organized the work of the newly created ministry, and cultivated a constellation of young diplomats. Dr. Sarmadzhiev was an outstanding Bulgarian diplomat of his era, whose service in Belgrade and Vienna marked a significant contribution to the development of Bulgarian-Serbian and Bulgarian-Austrian relations. He was chosen to represent the principality at the international anti-anarchist conference in Rome. At this forum, Dr. Sarmadzhiev actively worked towards the diplomatic emancipation of his country; on at least one occasion, he defied the instructions from his government and opposed the official Russian position, asserting Bulgaria’s independent stance despite pressure from both Russia and Turkey. Multilateral meetings in the Italian capital brought considerable legislative and administrative results and became a starting point for subsequent international cooperation.

A Emergência da Família Chaple à Elite Liberal: Advogados e Mobilidade Socialna Cuba de Meados do Século XIX

As migrant families relocated to Cuba during the second half of the eighteenth century, new generations of creoles were born during the economic and demographic expansion of the island. Some of these Cubans, inspired on early liberal ideas, found the ways to amass a fortune, and started climbing the social ladder by procuring positions in the local bureaucracy. A legal degree, however, was essential to obtain a high ranked public office, and many new students of law enrolled at the University of Havana. As a result, the number of lawyers on the island multiplied and started occupying posts in the local judiciary and the administration, as well as the academia, to legitimize themselves in the Cuban society. This study thus uses the Chaple family to examine a case of social mobility in early nineteenth century Cuba tied to the increase of the number of legal professionals, and their multiple mechanisms to gain participation and control of the public sphere. As the family Chaple illustrates, legal professionals, with their growing connections, created a complex social, political, and familiar network that included many individuals who held key judicial and administrative positions on the island. These lawyers, who came from humble origins, transformed the colonial society by breaking traditional barriers to the legal education and practice. Consequently, creoles with law degrees, who increasingly participated in local public affairs, emerged as a first generation of Cuban liberal elites during the nineteenth century.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Office Blood Pressure Measurement and Home Blood Pressure Monitoring for Hypertension Screening Among Adults: Results From the IDH Study.

Using high awake blood pressure (BP; ≥130/80 mm Hg) on ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) as a reference, the purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of high office BP (≥130/80 mm Hg) at an initial visit and high confirmatory office BP (≥130/80 mm Hg), and separately, high home BP (≥130/80 mm Hg) among participants with high office BP (≥130/80 mm Hg) at an initial office visit. The accuracy of office BP measurements using the oscillometric method for detecting high BP on ABPM was determined among 379 participants with complete office BP and ABPM data in the IDH (Improving the Detection of Hypertension) study. For detecting high BP on ABPM, the accuracy of high confirmatory office BP using the oscillometric method and, separately, high home BP was also determined among the subgroup of 122 participants with high office BP at an initial visit and complete home BP monitoring data. High office BP had moderate sensitivity (0.61 [95% CI, 0.53-0.68]) and high specificity (0.85 [95% CI, 0.80-0.90]) for high awake BP. High confirmatory office BP and high home BP had moderate sensitivity (0.69 [95% CI, 0.59-0.79] and 0.79 [95% CI, 0.71-0.87], respectively) and low and moderate specificity (0.44 [95% CI, 0.27-0.61] and 0.72 [95% CI, 0.56-0.88], respectively). Many individuals with high BP on ABPM do not have high office BP. Confirmatory office BP and home blood pressure monitoring also had limited ability to identify individuals with high BP on ABPM.

A View of Philippine Government Corruption: The Harry Stonehill Scandal Revisited

The corruption scandal involving American businessman Harry Stonehill in the 1960s showed how corruption permeated high government offices in the Philippines. The scandal was the biggest controversy in terms of political and social impact up to that time, and it changed the political fortunes of political leaders like Diosdado Macapagal who lost his bid for a second term for the Philippine presidency in 1965. The Stonehill affair would be later superseded by future corruption scandals in the latter decades such as those involving President Ferdinand Marcos, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Rodrigo Duterte. Corruption always involves two parties: the one that provides the opportunity to do corrupt acts and the other who does the actual corruption. In the case of Stonehill, his rise to prominence as a genius in Philippine business would not be possible without him providing bribes in exchange for favors and advantages. It also made him feel untouchable as he felt “everyone has a price” and he could get away with anything. On the other hand, officials who became corrupt also developed the same impunity knowing that they would not be held accountable for their acts. They developed ways and means to hide their corruption and its fruits which is ill-gotten wealth. This article examines corruption in the Philippines and the factors which led to its pervasiveness in Philippine society. By revisiting the Stonehill scandal in the 1960s, it studies the modes developed by corrupt officials in hiding their wealth and how the Philippine legal system failed in deterring acts of corruption.

Pulse Wave Analysis in Obese Children with and without Metabolic Syndrome

To compare pulse wave analysis (PWA) of obese children with and without metabolic syndrome (MS) with healthy, non-obese children and to evaluate the association between PWA findings and additional risk factors present in children with MS and obesity. From the obese patients examined between June 2019 and June 2021, 41 patients with MS, 36 obese patients without MS, and 34 healthy non-obese children of similar age and gender were evaluated retrospectively. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical evaluation, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurement (ABPM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and PWA measurements were compared. When the three groups were compared, weight standard deviation score (SDS), height SDS and body mass index SDS were all significantly higher in the MS group (p<0.05). The following measurements were significantly higher in both MS and non-MS obese patients compared to the control group: from ABPM measures, the systolic and mean arterial pressure BP SDSs load; from PWA, the night central systolic BP, 24-hour, day and night pulse pressure values and 24-hour, day and night pulse wave velocity (PWV) rates; and from cardiac evaluations, the LVMI and relative wall thickness measurements (all p<0.05). Furthermore, the 24-hour and daytime central systolic (cSBP) and diastolic BP (cDBP) values were significantly different between the three groups, being the highest in the MS group (p<0.05). Obesity causes higher office, ambulatory and central BP, PWV and LVMI. However our results suggest that additional risk factors associated with MS do not contribute to these parameters, except for 24-hour and daytime cSBP and cDBP values.

Links among Intellectual Terrorism, Religious and Political Dissent

The unusual rapid change of globalization process, winning of extreme right parties in some countries, who ask for racism and refuse other nationalities and races makes the world unstable and coexistence among various nations is in dangerous. All these things does not come to exist without any plan of some extremist parties, subversive activities in different places. Physical terrorism and terrorist acts are semi controlled, but the extreme groups nowadays found other ways to terrorize societies, frighten and threaten people intellectually. There is an exploiting of different ideas, different views of parties in a country and change it to an intellectual terrorism just for specific and private interests or to take power in a country. Under the name of rights there is a huge deface on religion through deception and mislead people and push them to take unusual habits and acts which leads to anger some people without taking into account of other religion through burning the religious book, abusing religious characters and all these acts consider to be intellectual terrorism and spreading hatred among different religions who were living in peace before without any crucial and serious big problem. To this devastating end, the extremist parties and their elements try to use any way of means to reach their dirty and bad intentions. Even we live in a media revolution nowadays which if anything happens in the farthest part of the world will be known in other parts in a way or another, make them to have hostile ideas against who are not in their religion, ethnic, nationality or language, even some of high officials and ranks clearly mention in front of their assembly and spread hostile idea. It has nothing to do with the freedom of expression. It is some kind of terrorism, not physical but intellectual and it is stupidity of people through their bad planned ideas, their political orientation and their trade in the blood of others. Unfortunately there are still many who believe in such things and terrorism and terror belongs to specific religion or ideology without having a minimum information on it. We all together need to face intellectual terrorism and stop them otherwise the situation goes worse than it is.

Data completeness and consistency in individual medical records of institutional births: retrospective crossectional study from Northwest Ethiopia, 2022

BackgroundEnsuring the data quality of Individual Medical Records becomes a crucial strategy in mitigating maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality during and around childbirth. However, previous research in Ethiopia primarily focused on studying data quality of institutional birth at the facility level, overlooking the data quality within Individual Medical Records. This study examined the data completeness and consistency within Individual Medical Records of the institutional birth service and associated factors.MethodsAn institution-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in two districts of Northwest Ethiopia. Data were obtained by reviewing three sets of Individual Medical Records of 651 women: the delivery register, Integrated Individual Folder, and integrated card. The proportions of completeness and consistency were computed. A multilevel binary logistic regression was used to identify factors of completeness and consistency. An odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to assess the level of significance.ResultsOverall, 74.0% of women’s Individual Medical Records demonstrated good data completeness ( > = 70%), 95%CI (70.5, 77.3), while 26% exhibited good consistency, 95%CI (22.9, 29.7). The presence of trained providers in data quality (AOR = 2.9, 95%CI: (1.5, 5.7)) and supportive supervision (AOR = 11.5, 95%CI: (4.8, 27.2)) were found to be associated with completeness. Health facilities’ practice of root cause analysis on data quality gaps (AOR = 8.7, 9%CI: (1.5, 50.9)) was statistically significantly associated with the consistency.ConclusionsMost medical records were found to have good completeness, but nearly only a quarter of them found to contain consistent data. Completeness and consistency varied on the type of medical record. Health facility’s root cause analysis of data quality gaps, the presence of trained providers in data quality, and supportive supervision from higher officials were identified as factors affecting data quality in institutional birth service. These results emphasize the importance of focused efforts to enhance data completeness and consistency within Individual Medical Records, particularly through consideration of Individual Medical Records in future provider training, supervision, and the implementation of root cause analysis practices.

Implementation of the Attorney General Regulation of Republic Indonesia No.15 of 2020 on Discontinuation of Prosecution Based on Restorative Justice at the High Prosecutor's Office

Implementation of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia's Regulation No. 15 of 2020 on Prosecution Termination Based on Restorative Justice at the High Prosecutor's Office has positively impacted the resolution of criminal cases in Indonesia. Restorative justice provides a more effective solution in resolving criminal cases by prioritizing restorative and rehabilitative efforts rather than relying on punishment as the only solution. Case resolution in this way benefits all parties, including victims, perpetrators, and society as a whole. However, there are certain difficulties in putting restorative justice into practice, such as a lack of public understanding and awareness of the concept, a lack of qualified human resources to implement restorative justice, and a lack of support from security forces and the government. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase public understanding and awareness of the restorative justice concepts, improve the qualifications of human resources involved in implementing restorative justice, and gain support from security forces and the government so that restorative justice can be implemented more widely and effectively in Indonesia.

How the Croatian Elites Switched over from the Habsburg Empire to the South Slav Kingdom in a Drunken Night in November 1918

AbstractIn his slightly fictionalized autobiographical essay A Drunken November Night 1918 (written in 1942, first published in 1952), Miroslav Krleža attempts to reconstruct a scandal to whose creation he himself contributed to a large extent. In November 1918, in the interregnum from the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy to the foundation of the South Slav kingdom, the then young author felt compelled at a reception held in Zagreb in honor of the Serbian officers to protest loudly against the speech of the former high Habsburg officer Slavko Kvaternik. The scandal retrospectively reinforced Krleža's conviction of the misery of the contemporary Croatian elite, a circumstance whose reasons, in his opinion, lay not only in political opportunism and moral corruption, but also in unreflected utopianism and the underlying political naivety. His hope that after the dissolution of the compromised Habsburg rule the South Slav peoples could advance towards national and social emancipation was soon replaced by the sober insight that imperial Austro-Hungary was followed by a small-sized, Serb dominated post-imperial structure. By describing the period when the text was written, the Second World War and the Ustashe reign of terror in contemporary Croatia, and in doing so particularly referring to the conversion of many former Habsburg officers to the side of fascist movements, Krleža also emphatically reveals his own conception of history, according to which historical events appear to be an eternal recurrence in which human stupidity is coupled with an excessive use of power and violence.
