Intention Of Government Research Articles

ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT ORDINANCES IN THE BASIC PRODUCTIVE PROCESS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CELLPHONE MANUFACTURING COMPANIES INSTALLED IN THE INDUSTRIAL POLE OF MANAUS FROM 1993 TO 2018

The Manaus Free Trade Zone, also known as ZFM, is characterized by being an industrial hub that includes industries from different segments. When it comes to the production of cutting-edge technology, the sector of computer goods stands out, especially the product known as cell phone. Some manufacturers of this product are installed in ZFM and are world leaders in this market. The industries installed in this pole enjoy tax incentives under the condition of execution of Basic Productive Processes (BPP). From this perspective and through a qualitative methodology, using the bibliographic research procedure applied to the case study at the ZFM, the objective of this article is to carry out a bibliographic review regarding the interministerial ordinances. It was intended to evaluate its obligations and exemptions regarding the production processes provided for by these laws for the production of the portable mobile phone terminal product, during the period from 1993 to 2018. In view of this work, it was possible to identify changes in the requirements imposed by legislation according to the technological evolution of the product and the market. In addition, it allowed the government's intention to increase the production chain of this product, with the purpose to strengthen the national industry for the manufacture of particular inputs, although certain obligations imposed through percentages of domestic manufacture were changed over the period, allowing the importation of these items. Such decision makes us question the effectiveness of the adopted methodology.

Analisis Dampak Sosial Ekonomi dalam Pembangunan Bandara Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) di Kabupaten Kulonprogo

The development of Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) in Kulonprogo, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY), is the intention of the central government and regional governments to increase economic growth, develop regional infrastructure, and develop the social life of the community. The development of the YIA is also expected to provide great benefits for the development of tourism, so an air transportation infrastructure improvement is needed. The construction of this international airport has had socio-economic impacts on the lives of surrounding communities, both positive and negative impacts. The purpose of this study is to understand and describe how the socio-economic impact of YIA Airport development and how the strategies can be carried out by the government to overcome the impact of the development. This research uses descriptive method with a qualitative approach to explore the meaning of a phenomenon that occurs. Data collection techniques carried out by observation, direct interviews, documentation, and triangulation, so that data and information can be obtained that support the purpose of the study.

The implication of reversal burden proof on corruption criminal act

The polemic of the ratification of KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission) Constitution indicated the good intentions of government as well as people in society through their respective perceptions which in conclusion whether the KPK is getting stronger or become weaker. The aim of this analysis is to examine on the implication of reversal burden proof system on corruption criminal act in Indonesian Law. Reversal of the burden proof as determined in the PTPK Law and the 2003 KAK Law leaves problems in its implementation, through normative legal research with the study of laws and comparisons, something new is obtained which is a guideline for judges in giving verdicts regarding the results of verification of assets and actions. Implications of proven or unproven acts and assets of the defendant through reversing the burden of proof of criminal criminal behavior which is greatly affects the received sanction by the defendant which include imprisonment penalties, criminal sanctions for fines and additional criminal sanctions in the form of returning state financial losses.

Tax Revenue and Economic Growth of Sierra Leone

The positive trend in world economic growth can be attributed to differential growth across the world. The Republic of Sierra Leone is one of the countries in the emerging sub-Saharan African region. Despite Africa’s growth prospects, the region is still one of the global hubs of poverty. This study examined the effect of tax revenue and economic growth of Sierra Leone for the period 1987-2017. This study adopted the ex-post facto design. Data relating to revenues from different tax components and GDP were collected for the years 1987-2017. The study concluded that tax revenue has significant effect on the economic growth of Sierra Leone, although Companies Income Tax (CIT), Custom Excise Duties (CED) and Road Taxes have not contributed positively to economic growth of this nation over the period of study. The intent of government with such tax should be communicated to the general public. In so doing, a separate body should be set up to inspect and ensure that the funds generated by government through tax at each level of government is properly used and any level of government that fails to utilise such taxes as communicated to the public should be charged to court.

1889: The Boomer Movement, the Land Run, and Early Oklahoma City by Michael J. Hightower

Reviewed by: 1889: The Boomer Movement, the Land Run, and Early Oklahoma City by Michael J. Hightower Julie Hufstetler 1889: The Boomer Movement, the Land Run, and Early Oklahoma City. By Michael J. Hightower. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2018. ix + 312 pp. Notes, bibliography, index. $24.95, paper. In the compelling text 1889: The Boomer Movement, The Land Run, and Early Oklahoma City, author Michael J. Hightower contextualizes Great Plains history within Gilded Age American politics to argue that the foundation story of Oklahoma Proper served as a representation of the inequality often experienced during the Gilded Age. A self-proclaimed "social historian with a view of history that percolates up from the churn of everyday life," Hightower utilizes newspapers, memoirs, oral testimonies and interviews, and personal letters to create a timeline of the settling of the Oklahoma frontier (xi). Hightower divides his book into three parts: (1) Indian Territory to 1885, (2) The Run, and (3) City Building. Part 1 serves as a prequel to the story and examines Indian Territory and the politics surrounding westward expansion and the reservation system. Hightower introduces the famed "boomer" David Lewis Payne. He also describes how the boomer came to represent a struggle against a seemingly corrupt government intent on denying the land that the boomers believed to be rightfully theirs. In part 2, Hightower continues his examination of this boomer versus government power dynamic by alternating the chapters between Washington, DC, and the frontier. The "Oklahoma question" raged in Congress and represented Gilded Age controversies: "relations with the Indians; the chasm between the haves and have-nots; the corrupting effects of Big Money in an age of oversized and largely unregulated corporations; and the definition and disposition of public lands" (125). The eventual opening of the territory culminated in a disorganized run for public land on April 22, 1889. In part 3, Hightower chronicles the settlement of Oklahoma City. Continuing the theme of power dynamics within the Gilded [End Page 173] Age, Hightower delineates the various internal controversies that developed within the power vacuum created by Congress's reluctance to officially designate Oklahoma a US territory. Hightower's analysis of how Oklahoma's foundation story symbolized Gilded Age American politics is enmeshed in a fascinating narrative of frontier settlement life. His outstanding storytelling ability generates an entertaining yet thought-provoking book. Each chapter provides ample evidence that the Oklahoma frontier typified Gilded Age America. Perhaps the most compelling example is found in the descriptions of the 1889 Land Run and the ensuing chaos (chapter 9, "Everybody at Sea"). Beneath the resilient optimism that accompanied the excitement of settling a new territory was a seedy underbelly of corruption and greed that would surface as surveyors began their work of dividing the public lands. In the preface, Hightower challenges the reader to forsake any preconceived notions of Oklahoma's foundation story and to "brace for a shocking tale" (xiv). Hightower's book certainly lives up to this bold claim, and this reviewer highly recommends it for anyone who enjoys an enthralling historical narrative.

New South Indians: Tribal Economics and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians by Christopher Arris-Oakley

Reviewed by: New South Indians: Tribal Economics and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians by Christopher Arris-Oakley Courtney A. Lewis (bio) New South Indians: Tribal Economics and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. By Christopher Arris-Oakley. (Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 2018. Pp. 265. $34.95 cloth; $34.95 ebook) In New South Indians: Tribal Economics and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Arris-Oakley (associate professor Eastern Carolina University, non-Native) presents a case study of Indigenous economics via the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) that sets a place at southern history's table for American Indians while acting as a much-needed contemporary augment to John Finger's Cherokee Americans: The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in the Twentieth Century (1991). The material spans the 1830s through 1990s, addressing [End Page 327] key moments in the economic history of the EBCI with a particular emphasis on government-driven initiatives. The book begins by describing the creation of the EBCI's Baker Roll (the founding census for its current enrollment), the launch of EBCI businesses (both governmental, as in lumber, and individual, with farming and wage labor), the status of EBCI assets, and the creation of the now famous EBCI Cherokee Fall Fair. Chapter two covers the creation of federal policies that impacted Native Nations, from the New Deal and the Indian Reorganization Act, to the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, alongside the growth of the tourism industry on the Qualla Boundary. Chapter three moves to post-World War II, describing a time also known as the Termination Era when Native Nations came under attack by a federal government intent on washing its hands of Native Nations through dissolution measures. This chapter ties these national actions to the establishment of the influential Cherokee Historical Association, along with the creation of the Unto these Hills play, Oconaluftee Village, Museum of the Cherokee Indian, and the Qualla Arts and Crafts Cooperative, as the tourism industry rapidly increased. The book then moves to the issues of increasing China-made crafts competition and EBCI government attempts at diversification from the tourism behemoth. Chapters four and five break the last quarter of a century into two parts (the 1970s, then the 1980s with a bit of the 1990s). Chapter four looks at the pendulum swing of federal policy back to support of tribal sovereignty and the subsequent EBCI government actions to increase its autonomy through an expansion of its powers, as well as the continued promotion of the tourism industry along with associated challenges, and further attempts by the EBCI government at specifically tribal enterprise diversification, ending with the creation of the Cherokee Boys Club. Chapter five critiques Reaganonmics' impact on Native Nations, introduces the topic of gaming through the Indian Gaming and Regulatory Act and gives a brief background to the opening of the EBCI's first large-scale casino. [End Page 328] The stated goals of this work are threefold. First, an examination of twentieth century Indigenous economics and a tribal perspective (of the tribe, not from within) that looks at twentieth century Indigenous economics. Second, to "incorporate Native Americans into contemporary southern history." Finally, to "augment" and "build on earlier works to focus on the economic actions of the Cherokee Tribal Council." The weakest point of the three is the first. There is a marked lack of engagement not only with current economic theory (broadly, as well as specifically Indigenous), but also with a critical number of researchers working in the region, with the EBCI, and in Indigenous economic subfields (particularly historical and anthropological economics). This will limit this work's usefulness, especially in the classroom. Engagement such as this would have also helped to avoid inaccurate statements, such as Arris-Oakley's claim that the homeland of the Cherokee people, in what are now called the Appalachian Mountains, was "unwanted land"—a claim that the EBCI nation (well before it was federally recognized as such) and its citizens have refuted for over two centuries (p. 10). The second goal of incorporation consists of two unstated parts: to place this material within southern historical literature and, conversely, to incorporate southern history into this study. As...

„Új” HR-megoldások és szerepük az állami foglalkoztatottak alkalmazásában

A közszektor és az annak részét képező közigazgatás az országok túlnyomó részében a munkaerő széles tömegeit foglalkoztatja. Az OECD-átlagot tekintve ez az összfoglalkoztatottak 15%-a, míg az állami alkalmazottak kompenzációja a GDP 11%-át éri el. Nem véletlen, hogy a közszolgálat fejlesztését célzó intézkedések az ezredforduló második évtizedében is töretlenül jellemzik a kormányzati szándékokat. Az Európai Unió tagállamainak többségében a modernizáció magában foglalja a humán erőforrásokat érintő viszonyok fejlesztését; akár átfogó jelleggel, akár egy-egy részterület vonatkozásában. Az elmúlt évtizedben inkább a második megoldás volt jellemző. Az írás olyan uniós országok szabályozásából, gyakorlatából, reformelképzeléseiből emel ki példákat, amelyekben a változások a korábbi berendezkedéshez képest jelentősnek minősíthetők. Betekintést nyújt a három nagy közigazgatásimodell-ország – Egyesült Királyság, Franciaország, Németország –, illetve további nyugat-európai államok utóbbi tíz évének közszolgálati változásaiba.

Centralization or Decentralization of Environmental Governance—Evidence from China

From the perspective of environmental federalism, we extracted the environmental intention words from the work reports of China’s central and provincial governments through data mining, and used the instrumental variable method to conduct empirical experiments concerning the dispute between centralization and decentralization of environmental governance in the Chinese context. The results suggest that a negative correlation exists between the intention of the central government’s environmental governance and the provincial environmental quality, whereas a positive correlation exists between the intention of the provincial government and the provincial environmental quality. Our interpretation is that environmental centralization, coupled with its political, economic, and cultural factors, has converted provincial governments into supporters of environmental pollution, and that the central government’s ongoing environmental protection inspection campaign has forced the provincial government to be somewhat effective. We propose establishing Chinese-style cooperative federalism in environmental authority and not only centralizing or decentralizing in one direction. New transition mechanisms for the central government’s authority should be implemented, such as the environmental protection inspection groups mechanism and the ecological gross domestic product based political tournament.

The emerging labour market and transformation from state amateurs to professional athletes

Corporate governance and its associated concerns had no bearing on Chinese industry management before its national economic reform in the early 1980s. The government's intention has been to make all state-owned enterprises more effective and efficient than they previously were by gradually introducing Western enterprise methods with a capitalist market approach. The article explores the notion of corporate governance in the context of Chinese football by studying the emerging labour markets and management of professional football players to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issues concerning the governance of Chinese sports and its human resource management. It seeks to contribute to the development of stakeholder theory as an important analytical framework on Chinese management studies in the field of professional sport during its economic transition.

Reducing Inequalities

Executive SummaryA backlash against numerous inequalities – and in particular against perceived unfairness in society – is a significant driver of the UK's current political malaise. Addressing inequalities between income groups, regions and generations will thus be key to re-establishing faith in government and avoiding further decline or even the threat of social unrest.In income terms, the UK has become much more unequal than in the immediate post-war decades, and it should be a goal to reverse that trend – targeting the OECD average for income inequality and a halving of the number of those living below the poverty line. Measures to deal with perceived unfairnesses could include tighter scrutiny of competition in high-yielding sectors such as technology, and incentives for the appointment of worker representatives to company boards. But a government intent on tackling inequalities will inescapably need to raise public spending and direct taxation of income and capital from their current historically low levels. In particular spending on education and active labour market policies needs to increase, while gaps in the benefits system and regional imbalances are addressed.Given the scale of technological change and the severe implications for the labour market, the risk is that policy will be insufficiently bold to deal with widespread disenchantment, which could ultimately pose a threat to democracy.

Simulation study on passive buildings’ demand incentive based on evolutionary game

The promotion and use of passive building can effectively promote the modernization of the construction industry and alleviate the increasingly severe environmental and energy crisis. Based on this, the evolutionary game theory is used to establish an evolutionary game model between government and consumers, and the game strategies of both sides are analyzed, the influence of system equilibrium stability and parameters on the stability of evolutionary game is discussed. The dynamic evolution game law of government and consumers based on passive building demand incentive is studied under the premise of limited rationality and fuzzy trust. Then the game trajectory between stakeholders is simulated by MATLAB software, the effects of parameters and initial intention on the evolution process and results are analyzed. It clearly clarifies the dynamic mechanism of the impact of government incentives on behavioral strategies for consumers to buy passive building. It shows that the passive building demand incentive work is focused on government, and the initial intention of government and consumers will directly affect the behavior strategies of both parties. Aiming at the demand incentives of passive building, the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are proposed at the three levels of awareness, cost control and income.

Early Education in England: the power of politicians over policy and practice

In this article, two government education policies for primary schools in England are scrutinised, the Phonics Screening Check and Baseline Assessment, both claimed by ministers to be 'evidence based'. What has become a high-stakes test rather than a diagnostic assessment, the Phonics Screening Check, introduced in 2012, now dominates early years education in England. Pilot studies of Baseline Assessment are under way and the government's intention is to introduce this assessment for all children in state primary schools in 2020. Children are to be assessed shortly after they enter reception class and, it is claimed by ministers, this will enable the children's progress throughout primary school to be monitored. The author summarises her extensive published evidence on both policies and indicates where to locate relevant but neglected research by many others. Reference will also be made to evidence from 18 internationally recognised literacy researchers critiquing synthetic phonics as the only method of teaching reading and the Phonics Screening Check.

Efectos de la transición al RIF de microempresas de la ciudad de Valle de Santiago, Guanajuato

As a measure to reduce tax evasion and informality, the Fiscal Incorporation Regime (RIF) arises with the 2014 tax reform, which generated a radical change in tax obligations and in the way taxpayers must comply, a situation that It mainly affects micro and small businesses, so this work aims to identify the affectations and benefits derived from the incorporation into the RIF of micro-enterprises in the city of Valle de Santiago, Guanajuato; It is based on a qualitative study, applying the in-depth semi-structured interview technique to 30 taxpayers who have been taxing in the RIF since January 1, 2014. The main results indicate that the tax reform is not entirely negative, the intention of the government of reducing informality has been met, however, the execution has setbacks, as small business owners do not have a sufficient fiscal culture or technological preparation to fulfill their obligations on their own, in addition to the fact that the increase in operating expenses represents a strong load for companies, a situation that places them at a disadvantage with respect to their competitors.

Exploring the Multiple Meanings of Adaptive Management: A Case Study of the Lachlan Catchment in the Murray–Darling Basin

Managing rivers and sharing their benefits is largely dependent on stakeholder values and knowledge, expressed through policy, governance and institutions. Adaptive management is essentially a social learning process, which can provide a tool to navigate the 'wickedness' of contemporary social-ecological challenges. This research applied an interpretive, qualitative approach to examine government intentions for adaptive management, as expressed in water policy documents, and practitioner experiences of learning through adaptive management in a case study of water management in the Lachlan catchment, Murray-Darling Basin, Australia. Data were created from content analysis of government water policy documents and interviews with key water managing and policy stakeholders. Interview participants attached divergent meanings to the concept of adaptive management. Five different 'styles' of adaptive management were found to coexist in the Lachlan catchment, which were associated with different levels of learning. While some learning was ad hoc, there was also promising evidence of more active adaptive management of environmental flows, which was resulting in higher-level learning. The findings highlight a disconnect between how adaptive management is understood in the academic literature, by practitioners, and how it is portrayed in Australian water policy, which is restricting opportunities for higher-level learning. Transformative learning was found to occur in response to crisis, rather than being linked to an intentional learning process.

CPEC’s Utility and Concerns under OBOR Initiative: A Pakistani Industrial Perspective

This study emphasizes the utility and concerns of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on various sectors of Pakistan’s economy through the lens of real stakeholders. Specifically, this study focuses on three aspects: the beneficiary of CPEC; CPEC’s effects on employment, GDP, foreign direct investment and personal income in Pakistan; and the concerns regarding Pakistan’s sovereignty. A qualitative research approach was adopted to explore the objectives of the study. To analyze these aspect, in-depth interviews from different Pakistan’s business community are conducted. Our study finds that CPEC will not only beneficial for both Pakistan and China, but also for other neighbouring countries in the region. To validate these findings, interviewee’s data is analyzed in the light of semantic analysis approach. Our study illustrates that, the development along the corridor will produce employment opportunities that will raise the income level of a common person of Pakistan, and the industrial growth in Pakistan through CPEC will have a positive effect on the country’s GDP. Our study also concludes that CPEC doesn’t pose any threat to Pakistan’s sovereignty. The stakeholders of CPEC are concerned over the intentions of Pakistan government; that need to be clarified. This research study also suggests the maximum benefits out of this mega venture.

Voluntary Restoration: Mitigation's Silent Partner in the Quest to Reverse Coastal Wetland Loss in the USA.

Coastal ecosystems are under pressure from a vast array of anthropogenic stressors, including development and climate change, resulting in significant habitat losses globally Conservation policies are often implemented with the intent of reducing habitat loss. However, losses already incurred will require restoration if ecosystem functions and services are to be recovered. The United States has a long history of wetland loss and recognizes that averting loss requires a multi-pronged approach including mitigation for regulated activities and non-mitigation (voluntary herein) restoration. The 1989 “No Net Loss” (NNL) policy stated the Federal government’s intent that losses of wetlands would be offset by at least as many gains of wetlands. However, coastal wetlands losses result from both regulated and non-regulated activities. We examined the effectiveness of Federally funded, voluntary restoration efforts in helping avert losses of coastal wetlands by assessing: (1) What are the current and past trends in coastal wetland change in the U.S.?; and (2) How much and where are voluntary restoration efforts occurring? First, we calculated palustrine and estuarine wetland change in U.S. coastal shoreline counties using data from NOAA’s Coastal Change Analysis Program, which integrates both types of potential losses and gains. We then synthesized available data on Federally funded, voluntary restoration of coastal wetlands. We found that from 1996 to 2010, the U.S. lost 139,552 acres (~565 km2) of estuarine wetlands (2.5% of 1996 area) and 336,922 acres (~1,363 km2) of palustrine wetlands (1.4%). From 2006 to 2015, restoration of 145,442 acres (~589 km2) of estuarine wetlands and 154,772 acres (~626 km2) of palustrine wetlands occurred. Further, wetland losses and restoration were not always geographically aligned, resulting in local and regional “winners” and “losers.” While these restoration efforts have been considerable, restoration and mitigation collectively have not been able to keep pace with wetland losses; thus, reversing this trend will likely require greater investment in coastal habitat conservation and restoration efforts. We further conclude that “area restored,” the most prevalent metric used to assess progress, is inadequate, as it does not necessarily equate to restoration of functions. Assessing the effectiveness of wetland restoration not just in the U.S., but globally, will require allocation of sufficient funding for long-term monitoring of restored wetland functions, as well as implementation of standardized methods for monitoring data collection, synthesis, interpretation, and application.

Austerity and Hospitals in Deficit: Is PPP Termination the Answer?

While austerity is commonly presented as a necessary, although undesirable, reduction in public expenditure, this framing may disguise a re‐imagining of the state whereby governments seize the opportunity of economic difficulties to shrink the state. This paper offers a critical examination of the nature of austerity by exploring the case of the UK's National Health Service (NHS), which according to political rhetoric is protected from austerity cuts. However, in the context of eight years of historically low funding growth coupled with increasing demand pressures from a growing and ageing population, the NHS has for several consecutive years faced substantial overspending by NHS provider organizations. With the Government intent on continuing its deficit and debt reduction path within a framework of ‘austerity’ focused almost exclusively on the expenditure side, NHS organizations have begun to explore radical solutions for reducing their costs. Following reported savings obtained by the early termination of a PPP contract at the Hexham General Hospital, politicians and some NHS managers have considered whether this experience might be repeated elsewhere. Our aims in this paper are to examine the financial feasibility of responding to the pressures created by austerity in this particular way, and to challenge the notion that the NHS has been protected from austerity. We extend the evidence base on PPP contract termination and analyze statistical information and financial statements in the public domain to highlight the legal and financial realities of early PPP termination.

Epistemic insights: Contemplating tensions between policy influences and creativity in school science

Creativity and the way it could be supported in schools is understood differently by policy makers, practitioners and scientists. This article reviews, with a chronological lens, the development of policies that include teaching creativity and teaching for creativity. The epistemic tensions between the intentions of government and the nature of creativity as it emerges in learning or scientific work is introduced and reflected upon. There have been more than nine key educational policies that have been introduced over the last 50 years. Each of these are considered in this article and related to the ways that creativity is understood and expected to be taught, supported or enacted in schools by policy makers. In light of the need to support creativity as a key twenty‐first‐century skill, to ultimately enable current students (who will become the next generation of scientists) to develop the capabilities to address global concerns, this article highlights issues related to this issue. Epistemic insights are offered that relate to the development of aspects of creativity, including questioning, developing alternate ideas, ‘seeing’ things differently, innovation, curiosity, problem solving and evaluating. The ways that policy related to creativity in science appears not to recognise how creativity can be reified in these ways in schools suggests the need for rapid review, especially in light of the upcoming international creativity tests in 2021.
