Same goal, different measures: Obscure transformation in Japan's food security policy (1970–2020)

AbstractFor decades, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture has implemented various measures to ensure a stable food supply, considering food security a top priority due to the increasing uncertainty of the global economy. However, the ministry's food security policy has evolved substantially with a disproportionate focus on the domestic production of specific food products. This policy change occurred without being widely recognized by the public, media, or intellectuals. Why has the Agricultural Ministry's policy changed even though its goal has remained the same? By applying both qualitative and quantitative research methods, we investigated the context behind this obscure policy transition. Our findings reveal that, contrary to conventional understanding, this policy shift occurred not so much due to political pressure from the agricultural sector, but mainly because of a change in the definition of a key policy concept (i.e., the food self‐sufficiency rate) in the late 1980s.

The Composition of Portunus pelagicus on the Fishing Ground Area of Danasari Waters, Pemalang Regency

Blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is one of the most economically valuable marine products in Indonesia. The crabs productivity was generally still dependent on the population in the wild. Danasari Village is one of the main crab producers in Pemalang Regency. The daily fishing crab activities by fisherman direct an impact on decreasing of the natural crabs resources. This study determined the crabs composition in the fishing ground where usually spotted by the Danasari crab fisherman. This research obtained the information of a composition of female and male crabs, carapace width distribution, growth characterized, and the egg-berried female number. This study conducted on May to July 2022. The result in this research was a male crabs were dominated than females. The carapace width was generally amount 92-112 mm, while the growth characteristic of blue swimming crabs was negative allometric. The female crab gonad maturity was dominated by 2nd level gonad maturity, while the egg-berried female crabs were found 21 crabs totaled from 14 spot fishing grounds. Based on the carapace width distribution, there are a lot of blue swimming crab with undersized in shallow-depth fishing sites, while the crab size mostly above 100 mm already found at each spot in this research. The highest egg-berried female percentage was found at spot 7th and 13rd, where the female crabs at 7th spot were bigger carapace than at 13rd spot areas. These results indicated that crab resources in Danasari Waters and surround area were indicated potentially overfished, proven with undersized berried-female crabs. The management efforts will conduct an environmentally friendly fishing gear, regarding the policy of ministry regulating as to keep crab resources sustainable. In addition, scheduling rules for fishing activities can also be tested to be applied.

Strategi Kepala Sekolah Dalam Penguatan Pendidikan Melalui Gerakan Literasi Sekolah Madrasah

The school literacy movement is a government program in this case the Ministry of Education and Culture. The hope of this movement is to develop the competence of students, namely literacy. The existence of this literacy movement also facilitates the talents possessed by students. Following up on the ministry's policy, madrasah schools responded quickly, so that this madrasah school was also the one that started the school literacy movement. The results of this study found that there was mutual awareness of the school community in moving the LGS program. One of the supporting factors for the LGS program at this school is high awareness, good communication between the school and parents and the many strategies that are carried out.

Analysis of Education Ministry Policy Related to Education in Covid-19 Perspective of The Power of Knowledge Michael Foucault and David Ausubel’s Meaning Learning Theory

This paper aims to analyze the policies of the Ministry of Education and Culture regarding learning and the effectiveness of E-learning during the Covid-19 period by linking Michael Foucault’s theory and ausubel theory in education during the Covid-19 period. The research method used is library research, where library techniques are carried out by studying, reading and recording various literature or reading materials that are in accordance with the subject matter. Then filtered and poured into a theoretical framework. The author also uses Michael Foucault’s power of knowledge analysis and meaningful learning by David Ausubel on the policies of the Ministry of Education and Culture in education during the Covid-19 period. The results of this study are that when viewed from the analysis of Michel Foucault’s theory, it is very clear that governmentality is a state that has the right to regulate an action or behavior of the community by internalizing an occupation so that it becomes an obedient or obedient population as a form of rationalization for the operation of a power. Meanwhile, in terms of David Ausubel’s theory, the process of linking new information in relevant concepts is contained in a person’s cognitive structure. Cognitive structure involves concepts, facts and generalizations that have been memorized and learned by students in the sense that this theory provides a meaningful learning for students

Mobile healthcare services in rural areas: an application with periodic location routing problem.

In this study, we focus on the delivery of mobile healthcare services in rural areas, where doctors visit remote villages which do not have a healthcare facility nearby. The aim is to increase the accessibility of healthcare services for such population centers. We aim to determine the village assignments of the doctors, their monthly visit schedules and base hospitals where they start and end their tours. We model this as a periodic location routing problem and use the policies of Ministry of Health of Turkey as a basis for our mathematical formulation. These policies include the essential components of mobile healthcare services, namely, continuity of care and determining evenly distributed periodic visits. We determine the visit schedules, i.e. routes, of doctors endogenously while satisfying these policies. We also develop a heuristic algorithm based on a cluster first-route second approach and solve larger instances more effectively. The computational experiments support that this solution methodology can effectively find optimal or near-optimal solutions and improve the computational times significantly.

The regional forum of the sustainable tourism of Brejo and its Role in the interiorization of tourism in Paraíba/Brazil

In Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil, the sun and sea segment is the main responsible for the flow of visitors in the state, being the segment that receives the most government investments in planning and promotion, to the detriment of the interior regions that figure in the background. The main policy of Ministry of Tourism is the Tourism Regionalization Program, which aims to manage, structure and promote tourism in a decentralized manner, transferring the responsibility for its development to the tourist regions, thus opening up possibilities for the interiorization of the activity. The Paraibano Tourist Region is one of the few in the interior of the state that has a growing tourist movement and an organizational dynamism that makes it stand out from the rest. Thus, the question is: What are the determinants of interests that move between the order established by public policy and the horizontal relations, of a more organic nature, forged within the Region? Are there more or less strong indications that the actions guided by the Program and those implemented by the Regional Forum for Sustainable Tourism in Brejo have been contributing to the interiorization of tourism in Paraíba? That said, the main goal of this study is to investigate the performance of the Regional Forum for Sustainable Tourism of Brejo and its contributions to the process of interiorization of tourism in Paraíba. This is a descriptive and qualitative research that uses bibliographic and documentary data, as well as data collected in field visits. The reticular perspective was also used as a methodological resource. Data were analyzed and interpreted through the conceptual repertoire of the fields of Geography and Political Sociology for the understanding of local dynamics, guided by the verticality and horizontality imposed by public tourism policy in the Region. The conclusion reached is that the increase in tourism happens horizontally, that is, the most significant actions for regional tourism planning arise in the region, from the articulation of local actors, mainly through and around the Forum.

Developing Technical Teacher Evaluation Model Based on Cloud Computing

Teacher evaluation plays a crucial role in enhancing the learning process by evaluating the actual scene of learning and teaching in a certain institution. Moreover, it provides the educational field with the needed data that helps in achieving high levels of learning outcomes. It also focusses on the various factors that are involved in developing the learning process positively such as teachers, learners, administration, curriculum, etc. The main aim of this study is to develop, design a digital teacher evaluation cloud-system based on education ministry policy, and rules in Oman. In order to satisfy the main aim of this study; researchers reviews the current used methods for teacher evaluation process in Sultanate schools, and analyses and compares the current evaluation model with related works models. A conceptual model to clarify all related indicators and parameters that affect teacher evaluation process in Omani Schools was proposed, and then a cloud teacher evaluation system based on the proposed conceptual model was developed, implements and deployed by using a web-based system. Educational stockholder focusses to improve teacher’s performance to satisfy the education learning goals. The proposed web based system provides decision makers and stockholders with accurate teacher evaluation processes that help them to share the good practices, recover any weaknesses, and target a specific training and workshops. Educational supervisors in the department of applied sciences in the North Batinah Governorate evaluated the proposed system using technology acceptance model (TAM). All users declares that the system is useful, easy to use and they intend to use and recommend it.

National-Religionization (and not Religious-Religionization) in Policies of Israel's Ministry of Education

The term religionization has become a significant component in the study of Israeli sociology in recent years. While usually referred to as a homogeneous social trend, this study makes a distinction between three diverse kinds of religionization: naïve religionization, religious-religionization, and national-religionization. Our study of the plans and policies of the Israeli Ministry of Education and the statements of the Minister of Education will demonstrate that the Ministry promotes national-religionization rather than religious-religionization for its own sake, due in part to a specific political agenda.

Knowledge and opinions of child development vocational school students about child neglect and abuse

Objective: This study was planned in an attempted to find out knowledge and opinions about child neglect and abuse of child development vocational school students who has an important role in the care of 0-6 age group children, and to create an awareness in this field. Method: Our descriptive type study’s sample was formed by 197 Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University Child Development Vocational School Students. To obtain the data survey form was applied to the students in the classroom in break time between courses. 7 students who were not present in the class were excluded from the study were excluded from the study. In order to data analysis number, percentage, mean, standard deviation and chi-square test were used. Results: Regarding 190 students who participated in the study, 188 were female and 2 were male. 9.5% of the students (n: 18) stated that they had been subjected of violence, 13.8% of (n: 26) stated that they were exposed to neglect. 20 students (10.5%) received formal training in neglect and abuse. 93.1% (n: 175) of the students stated that they had to report child neglect and abuse according to the law, 88.6% (n: 164) of stated that they should report in accordance with the policies of Ministry of National Education, 95.8% (n: 181) stated that they were responsible for moral reporting. When they detect neglect or abuse, 47.3% (n: 88) think that they should report it to Social Services and 39.2% (n: 73) think that they should report it to the Security Directorate. The rate of those who think they can recognize physical abuse symptoms is 29.1% (n: 55). 94.1% of the students (n: 176) stated that they needed more information about this subject. Conclusions: As a result of our study, we found that child development students did not have sufficient knowledge about child neglect and abuse. To increase knowledge level and awareness of child developers who having close contact with children changes in the education program should be planned, and abuse and neglect should be included in the curriculum.

School Managers’ and Teachers’ Opinions on Supervision Policies of the Ministry of National Education

The Turkish Ministry of National Education has recently updated education supervision mechanism via the official regulation dated 20.08.2017 and number 30160. Our main motivation for this study is to reveal the opinions of school managers and teachers on supervision policies prior to this latest regulation on education supervision. Thus, a qualitative study has been designed. Thu study group consists of 36 participants working in Malatya during 2017-2018 academic year. The data has been collected by means of a semi structured interviewing form developed by the researchers and analyzed in terms of descriptive analysis technique. Many of the participants have stated that the supervision process should not continue in such way and underlined the fact that the most important factor for reshaping the supervision policies is the “teachers’ expectations”. In order to organize our education system properly, to build a type of stakeholders’ confidence and recover ambiguity; it is essential that the supervision policies of Ministry should be revised prior to experts’ and stakeholders’ opinions and standardized supervision frameworks should be recreated.

Desafíos para una escritura académica en contexto

In the last decades, the eld ofacademic literacy has uncovered the possibilities of pedagogical education, reading and writing at the university and higher ed- ucation level in general (teaching for what is to be assessed), that have until recently remained unseen. However, this article argues the need for referencing pedagogy and research related to reading and writing during the academic years.This should be done within a frame of the educational anduniversity policies speci c to the countryor region where they are being proposed, and in this sense avoiding any model as a universal one. To these ends, some examples developed in the context of Argentina’s academic setting of public ministry policy are presented

PP125 Evidence-based Policy Making – Bottom-Up Heuristic Engagement Process

INTRODUCTION:Solid organ and hematopoietic cell transplantation are some of the more expensive procedures universally paid by the public Brazilian Unified Healthcare System (SUS). Transplanted patients depend on maintenance immunosuppression to prevent death or graft loss. A bottom-up heuristic process proposed new immunosuppression drugs for incorporation into the SUS.METHODS:Systematic evidence synthesis and Brazilian transplantation registries base-cases, Kaplan-Myer survival and economic assessments were presented in specialized national congresses with open public Delphi sessions to build professional Clinical and Therapeutic Protocols (PCDT) by consensus. Five consensus transplantation PCDTs with a SUS perspective budget impact and sensitivity analysis were submitted to the Health Ministry SUS Technology Incorporation National Commission (CONITEC) plenary for a decision. PCDTs were publicized in CONITEC Internet and Diário Oficial da União, an, official periodic publication, as well as undergoing widespread dissemination through mailings for Public Consultation. Public contributions were added to PCDTs to support Health Ministry policy making.RESULTS:The São Paulo State Health Secretariat coordinated the synthesis and economic assessments made by 115 experienced transplantation specialists and health technology evaluators over ten years. Heart, lung, liver, pancreas and hematopoietic cells transplantation PCDTs (with tacrolimus, sirolimus and everolimus alternative immunosuppression) can significantly prevent 27.8 percent, 28.1 percent, 7.2 percent, 11.1 percent and 4.3 percent graft loss or graft versus host disease and death, respectively, for refractory transplantees rescue during the first year post-transplantation, saving healthcare resources. Ten-year follow-up data demonstrated partial benefits were sustained. Analysis demonstrated +USD689,655.17, +USD501,567.40, -USD377,802.51, +USD221.289,42 and +USD50.734,08 budget impact, respectively, resulting in an overall USD1,085,443.55 for 2,146 transplantees. The 5 PCDTs were favorably voted by CONITEC plenary members, 155 public contributions were added by patients and stakeholders, and the Brazilian Health Ministry decided to adopt the SUS reimbursement listing.CONCLUSIONS:Democratic participation gave PCDTs real-world basis adjustments, SUS innovation and improved compliance.

LEMBAGA PAUD DI LINGKUNGAN PERUMAHAN UNTUK PENYEBARAN AKSES DAN PENINGKATAN KUALITAS PENDIDIKAN

The existence of Early Childhood Education (ECE) has become a need for equalizing the access to educational service for early age children (0-6 years old). This also became the policy of Ministry of Education and Culture up to 2014. However, the policy could not be implemented completely and equally, particularly in the housing compound in urban and rural areas. The purpose of this policy study is to review the improvement of service accessibility and ECE quality. This study applied document study on legal products and relevant document related to ECE. The result of the study indicates (1) The distribution of ECE in the housing compound is unequal, (2) ECE services are badly needed by the community in the housing compound, (3) improvement access to ECE services in the housing compound provides educational opportunity to all early aged children with different economic and social status background of their parents, and (4) instruction based on integrative holistic approach can improve the access and service quality of ECE. It can be concluded, the access to ECE is not well distributed and expanded yet and not well supported by developer and local government.

Is There Any Interest Among Iranian Biomedical Journals and Researchers to Publish a “Letter to the Editors”?

Dear Editor, The “letter to the editor” or the “correspondence letter” is the most popular section of some scientific journals (1), providing an opportunity for the readers to state their viewpoints to help clarify the scientific evidence recorded in the literature. Despite the intensive peerreview process, it is possible even in high quality journals to find an article with certain errors in methodology part, statistical analysis and the generalization of the results (2). Unfortunately, both Iranian biomedical journals (IBJs) and researchers are not interested to publish “letter to the editor” (3). PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar comprehensively investigated and concluded that among 330268 published articles by Iranian authors (until December 2015), only 3883 “letter to the editor” were found. Indeed, “letter to the editor” consists of approximately 0.01% of the articles published in IBJs. The small number of “letter to the editor” in IBJs as compared to other journals could be attributed to two main reasons: 1. Readerships and researchers: In Iran, most researchers read abstracts and conclusions of the articles to obtain the information they need (3-5). Others may read the full text, but do not have a critical overview and read an accepted article without appraising the content or assessing its quality. In addition, critical appraisal is routinely taught to undergraduate and postgraduate students and also to health care professionals in many countries (4); however, in Iran, it has not been properly embedded in the curriculum of health and medical sciences. Accordingly, the small number of “letter to the editor” writing in IBJs could be attributed partly to the lack of critical appraisal skills among some Iranian readers (3). 2. Policies of Iranian ministry of science (IMS) and IBJs editorial boards: Regarding current IMS regulations for academic promotion, the “letter to the editor” and “original article” have been scored between 0.5 1 and 5 7 (3, 6). Hence, there seems to be a little reward for academics to spend time on and effort in writing a “letter to the editor”. In some cases, the editorial board of IBJs believes that the “letter to the editor” as an article may damage the journal reputation. In fact, if the editorial board accepts the “letter to the editor” which points out the methodological errors of a previously published article, it implicitly denotes that publishing such an article may damage the journal reputation (7, 8). Considering the important role of “letter to the editor” in enhancing the trustworthiness of the published articles as well as the accountability of such journals to the scientific community, we as the associate editors of IBJs suggest conducting more researches to assess the facilitators and barriers to publishing “letter to the editor”, in order to hasten the process of composing and publishing in IBJs.
