Assistance in Optimization of Website Management in the United Nations and Political Agency of Bintan District

This article is intended to find out the problems in the implementation of public services carried out by the central government and local governments are still faced with services that are not yet effective and efficient and the quality of human resources is not adequate. Therefore, various innovations are needed to improve the quality of public services by the government in order to make it easier for the public to access information. One of the innovations that can be applied is the creation and use of websites in the public service system. The application of the use of the website for public services is able to improve the performance of the government, state civil apparatus and the community in using information and communication technology by using it wisely. The method used emphasizes the full participation of ASN and Non ASN members in the training process, not just the method lecture. The approach applied to this service is the Participatory Rural Appraisal method (Chambers, 1996), where this technique is a technique that is considered technically quite operational. The results obtained in these problems need to be resolved immediately through training on the Implementation of Socialization on the importance of e-Government by providing assistance in the creation and management of websites. This training is unlikely to run well on its own. Therefore, participation from the state civil apparatus and the entire community is very much needed so that this activity can run smoothly and can provide positive changes for the future, including providing an understanding of the importance of E-Government for ASN and Non ASN in the Bankes bangpol environment, providing assistance regarding website creation and management.

Paradoxes of the Czechoslovak Sokol Association in the Interwar Period

Abstract The article addresses some of the paradoxes of the interwar Czechoslovak Sokol Association. It shows how after 1918 Sokol historiography experienced a boom following national independence: a proliferation of accounts of the Sokol movement’s history to date told in largest part by the leadership of the association itself. These accounts re-narrated the history of the movement so that it became well-adjusted to the new culture of victory of the interwar state, positing throughout a separation between nation and empire and a struggle in which the former, aided by Sokol mobilization, was sure to emerge victorious. The article asks that we read this historiography ‘against the grain’, showing that the actual relationship of Sokol to late-Habsburg civil society was protean and shifting, and only re-cast as unswervingly adversarial in the post-1918 period. The second part of the article looks at the participation of Sokol members and leadership in the war in Slovakia (1919), presented in interwar historiography and commemoration as a culminating moment in Sokol’s participation in the national liberation of Czechs and Slovaks. In fact, there is a compelling case to be made that Sokol’s role in fighting and violence at this time also shows the ongoing contestation and conflict associated with the creation of Czechoslovakia. The article shows that re-narrating the history of the Habsburg period and the war itself to emphasize the voluntarist contribution of groups such as Sokol was an important part of establishing and maintaining the legitimacy of the interwar state.

An analysis of the factors influencing pro-environmental behavioural intentions on climate change in the university community

Universities play an essential role in promoting economic prosperity, social welfare and environmental protection through education and research. However, discrepancies have been pointed out between what consumers express about their environmental concerns and their environmental behaviour is, thus posing a challenge for the effective adaptation and mitigation of climate change. The purpose of this study is to analyse the sequence ‘beliefs-attitudes-behaviours’ applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour to the context of the university community. To achieve this objective, the hypothesised relations are tested using Partial Least Squares structural equation modeling in a sample of 1991 responses from students and staff at nine Latin American universities. Results show that beliefs and attitudes positively influence intrinsic motivation towards participation in actions related to climate change, and this, together with attitude, influences the pro-environmental behaviour of the university community. Neither extrinsic motivations or individual pro-environmental behaviour do not influence conduct as a member of the community. Affiliation (student vs. employee) moderates some of these relationships. A series of implications for university administrators (e.g., actions oriented towards raising awareness, identification of suitable incentives) are inferred to promote the participation of the community members in pro-environmental actions.

Silicon law of oligarchy: patterns of member participation in the decision-making of platform cooperatives

Platform cooperatives that are owned and governed by gig workers themselves have been proposed as a silver bullet to improve these workers’ influence on organizational decision-making. However, they remain relatively rare compared with dominant investor-owned platforms. Traditionally, worker cooperatives strive for alternative organizing based on the ideal of workplace democracy but are often faced with unequal participation by members in decision-making processes. To test for participation inequalities, this study used survey data (n = 418) from a network of four platform worker cooperatives in Italy. The results show that members with lower affective commitment towards their cooperative and less social capital among other members are less likely to participate, but that there is no effect of cooperative size and human capital.

The author enphasises creative basis in building an original model of the class action in Japan. It shows itself in adoption of standards of a legal regulation in this field from European countries and the Anglo-Saxon legal world. One of the realised elements of the Japanese regulation was a bifurcation, which could also be implemented in Russia. At the end of the article questions of cross-border litigation are discussed concerning the use of the class action in Japan.

Examining the Role and Strategies of Advocacy Coalitions in California's Statewide Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax Debate (2001-2018).

California's failed attempts to enact a statewide sugary beverage tax presents an opportunity to advance understanding of advocacy coalition behavior. We investigate the participation of advocacy coalitions in California's statewide sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax policy debate. Document analysis of legislative bills and newspaper articles collected in 2019. California. A total of 11 SSB tax-related bills were introduced in California's legislature between 2001-2018 according to the state's legislative website. Data sources include legislative bill documents (n = 94) and newspaper articles (n = 138). Guided by the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), we identify advocacy coalitions involved in California's SSB tax debate and explore strategies and arguments used to advance each coalitions' position. Two coalitions (public health, food/beverage industry) were involved in California's statewide SSB tax policy debate. The public health coalition had higher member participation and referred to scientific research evidence while the industry coalition used preemption and financial resources as primary advocacy strategies. The public health coalition frequently presented messaging on the health consequences and financial benefits of SSB taxes. The industry coalition responded by focusing on the potential negative economic impact of a tax. Multiple attempts to enact a statewide SSB tax in California have failed. Our findings add insight into the challenges of enacting an SSB tax considering industry interference. Results can inform future efforts to pass evidence-based nutrition policies.

ANALISIS MANAJEMEN REDAKSI BATAMTODAY.COM PASCA PANDEMI COVID-19

The Batamtoday editorial team is a pioneer of online media in the Riau Islands. Through the presence of Batamtoday, the public can easily access information on a mass scale, anytime and anywhere. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method utilizing the managerialism and organizational democracy theory by Stanley Deetz. This theory demonstrates how communication practices in an organization can distort decision-making. The sub-theories of strategy, agreement, involvement, and participation in organizations provide a contradictory understanding of communication practices in an organization. Strategy and agreement as part of managerialism determine decision-making through leadership domination, while involvement and participation as part of democracy provide a solution to the chaos of domination through leadership movements. The results of the study indicate that the form and pattern of communication applied by the Batamtoday editorial team is verbal, with a communication pattern tailored to the social reality practices within Deetz's concept. The organizational structure in Batamtoday does not give an impression of rigidity in its communication practices. In conclusion, this study shows that the Batamtoday editorial team employs effective communication strategies to build news coverage in the Riau Islands. Communication practices within the editorial team appear flexible and semi-formal, allowing for the involvement and participation of team members in decision-making. Stanley Deetz's managerialism and organizational democracy theory can provide a useful perspective in understanding the dynamics of communication in organizations and how communication strategies can influence decision-making.

The participants in this stage were 16 children in an elementary school in Taoyuan City, between ages 11 and 12. After obtaining consent forms from the participants’ guardians, we randomly assigned these participants to an experimental group (N = 8) and a control group (N = 8). The experimental group received a 40-minute JBCP session weekly for ten weeks. The control group received a 40-minute career exploration small group counseling weekly for ten weeks. We administered the SCAS, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and School Life Adjustment Scale in the pretest, posttest, and follow-up test to measure change of anxiety, well-being, and life adjustment of the participants. In addition, the current study implemented some qualitative data, such as group progress notes, group member feedback questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with participants’ homeroom teachers as supplementary data to clarify the effects of the JBCP. In Study 1, we found that the SCAS had a good validity and reliability for Taiwanese children. The results of Study 2 indicated that the JBCP had immediate and follow-up effects on the separation anxiety in the experimental group. With the pretest impact eliminated, the immediate and follow-up effects on overall anxiety in the experimental group were better than those on the control group. However, even though the immediate and follow-up effects of the JBCP on the experimental group were better than the control group but were not significant. Besides, the group member feedback questionnaires and participants’ homeroom teachers all indicated that the experimental group participants had positive attitude toward the JBCP, and they also positively improved their emotions and interpersonal relationships with others.
