The National Reconciliation Process in Algeria During the Bouteflika’s Era: The Official Narrative

The political and academic debate over reconciliation in Algeria is inconclusive. Although it faced international criticism, the post-war regime succeeded in enhancing peace and containing the cycle of violence. The national reconciliation process followed a highly controversial peace agreement designed by the Intelligence and Security Department. Then, it was conducted and directed after 1999 by an elected President, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, with the support of a heterogeneous alliance of reconciliation entrepreneurs. This study highlights the main components of the official perspective: how the reconciliation was perceived and concretized, its mechanisms and strategies, and main conceptualizations. It illuminates the official narrative based on analyzing materials, including the president’s statements, interviews, and newspaper archives.

Violent and Unethical Non-Violent Abuse of Faith and Ethnoreligious Sentiments in Southeast Europe: Religious Peace-Building?

The article presents a theoretical and conceptual examination of religious violent and unethical non-violent behaviors, ethnopolitical and clerical synergism, and religious peace-building capacity. I argue that the phenomenon of religious/ethnic violent and non-violent interchangeability adopted by national political unethical behavior has adverse consequences on the post-Yugoslav social behavior and reconciliation process; religions should be a moral peace-building agency. The multiethnic/multireligious socialist Yugoslav society has been violently transformed into influential ethical and clerical cultures, producing antagonistic ethnonational societies sustaining pastoralism as potent identity manifestations of the social capital. War-period visual violence and emotions influenced violent behavior and policy within the discourse "our vs. their sacred ethnic land," creating an unbearable ease of creating fear and motivating violent antagonism and war crimes. The post-war antagonistic media rhetoric, visual antagonism, and abuse of faith adversely impact peaceful coexistence. Ethnic, religious, ideological, and political contextual factors are challenging to generate in post-conflict, divided Balkan societies. Fear of others, religiously distinct, is a category that's difficult to determine and prevent. Western-Balkan societies possess victimological and political mythical conventions, honoring ethnoreligious war victories, defeats, and agonies, maintaining hostility and revenge discourse. Historically, religions were misused to justify violence and maintain non-violence, unethical sociopolitical order, and negative peace. The ideologies of religious superiority intertwine with intensely dominant national perceptions, so belonging to the Serb, Croat, or Bosniak people is equated with Orthodoxy, Catholicism, or Islam. This entanglement is the groundwork for despondency and a hostile peace climate. Current clerical and ethnopolitical policies lead further away from conflict transformation, directing toward the renewal of monotheistic spirituality, cognition, and violence. Political involvement affects "authentic" religion. We should engage in all-inclusive theological and consensus approaches to demonstrate that religions are peace-building agencies, retrieving and revitalizing authentic morality criteria. Religious sentiments mobilize people more rapidly than other identities.

TRAINING AND MENTORING FOR ONLINE-BASED TRANSACTION RECORDING (ONLINE TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEMS-OLTP)

Virageawie is a company that consists of bamboo craftsmen. We see that there is a need for support for increasing partner empowerment, especially in improving partner management capabilities. The problem is, in its activities/operations the use of digital media for transactions made has not provided convenience and speed in the process of transactional reporting and financial reports. There are obstacles including technical capabilities in the use of information technology, the process of correction and reconciliation of data received from each provider, and conversion to a format that is following the habits of business actors, besides that in terms of understanding the procedures and processes for preparing financial reports by Accounting Standards Finance (SAK). The solution that will be provided is in the form of establishing a transaction recording system and preparing digital-based financial reports, training regarding the use of digital-based transaction recording and financial reporting tools, and assistance/assistance for 3 months until partner HR can be completely released and able to run the new system. Material/content related to formation, training, and mentoring is based on the results of previous research from service members, which had been carried out previously at the binongjati knitting center in Bandung City. The output target in this Community Service is that the partner's management ability (virageawie) increases, with evidence of a description of the results of the management ability test/score before and after the activity.

비장애 형제자매로서의 경험에 대한 자문화기술지

This auto-ethnography describes the process of conflict and reconciliation I experienced as a non-disabled sister of a disabled sibling. For that, I analyze diverse personal documents, including diaries, notes, and text (SNS) messages with others, after having them reviewed by my family members for better credibility. The primary findings are as follows: first, my sibling’s positive perspective motivated my academic achievements by strengthening my resilience. Second, the disparity between my high-achieving self in my 20s and another self as a sister of a disabled person created a long-lasting sense of ambivalence, decreasing the visibility of the disabled family member. Last, I came under a ‘yoke’ that society and my parents gave, which pressured me to take life-long care of my sister. These findings shed light on under-researched aspects of the life of non-disabled sisters and brothers in South Korea, challenging the pathological stereotype of families with disabled members.

Local Governance: Concepts and Roles of the Contemporary Society in Somalia

This article presents a comprehensive examination of the historical and contemporary dynamics of governance in Somalia. It begins with a review of the country's socio-political landscape, highlighting the impact of the civil war, the emergence of clan-based territories, and the rise of non-state actors. The article then traces the evolution of Somali governance from independence to the present day, emphasizing the transition from a centralized authority to a federal system. The role of external stakeholders in Somalia's reconciliation and recovery process is thoroughly analyzed, drawing attention to the complex influences of international and regional actors. A key focus of the article is the formation of the third tier of government in Somalia, the district council, under the Wadajir framework. The challenges faced by this newly established entity, including clan-based conflicts and a fragile revenue system, are discussed in detail. At the same time, the potential of the district council in fostering improved local government actions, encouraging community engagement in development and ensuring fairer resource distribution is underscored. The article concludes with a forward-looking discussion on the prospects of inclusive governance and local empowerment in Somalia's future. This comprehensive analysis serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in Somali politics and governance

The Validity Of Reconciliation Without Witnesses At The Religious Affairs Office

Some factors in establishing a family can result in divorce. Islam permits a husband and wife to reconcile during the iddah period (a specified period of time that must elapse before a Muslim widow or divorcee may legitimately remarry). In accordance with this requirement, a husband who wishes to reconcile with his ex-wife must go through the Religious Affairs Office (KUA) and adhere to the established protocols. However, the practice is different, as happened in the KUA of Syiah Kuala Subdistrict, Banda Aceh, which carried out the reconciliation process without witnessing. Contrarily, it is explicitly stated in The Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) articles 163–169 that witnesses are necessary in cases involving reconciliation. According to the KUA, the process for reconciliation is that the husband who wants to get his wife back comes to the marriage registrar who oversees the neighborhood where the husband and wife reside by bringing a stipulation about the possibility of divorce and the required certificate, which is followed by reconciliation in front of the registrar and witnesses. It is not necessary for witnesses to be present. The most important aspect is that the community be aware of their reconciliation, whether or not they are present. Upon that, a reconciliation certificate is created and delivered to the religious court where the divorce occurred. They view reconciliation as a continuation of the marriage, not a new marriage contract, which explains why there are no witnesses in the process of reconciliation cases. Therefore, in the process of reconciliation, witnesses are not as crucial. KHI, however, demands a witness to the reconciliation for the purpose of benefit. The reconciliation is deemed unlawful without a witness because permanent law cannot be established. Even without witnesses, the KUA can issue a certificate of reconciliation, which is accepted by the court to consider the reconciliation valid.

Reconciliation Analysis of Passengers Suspected of Carrying Dangerous and Prohibited Goods at Komodo Labuan Bajo Airport Security Checkpoint

Aviation Security (AVSEC) has an important role in security and safety in aviation, starting from checking passengers and their luggage, so that acts of disturbance that violate the law do not occur. This study aims to find out how the reconciliation process is for passengers suspected of carrying dangerous and prohibited goods at the Security Check Point (SCP) of Komodo Labuan Bajo Airport, as well as the socialization carried out by the airport about what dangerous and prohibited goods may not be carried by airplane passenger. This study uses qualitative research. The subjects in this study were Aviation Security (AVSEC) officers at Komodo Labuan Bajo Airport. The results of this study were obtained using interviews, observation and documentation carried out during the research. After obtaining the necessary data the researcher will process the data into a discussion and make a conclusion and suggestions. Based on the research results obtained by researchers, the reconciliation process for passengers suspected of carrying dangerous and prohibited goods at the Security Check Point of Komodo Labuan Bajo Airport starts from Security Check Point (SCP) 1 and 2 before passengers and their luggage enter the restricted security area, after it goes through an inspection process using a tool, if dangerous and prohibited items are detected, the officer directs passengers to a special inspection room, and there the Aviation Security officer explains that these items are prohibited from being carried, and if they can be carried, they must be in checked baggage and vice versa in cabin baggage . The socialization carried out by the Komodo Labuan Bajo Airport took the form of holding a committee meeting and inviting several agencies that deal directly with the community such as the TNI-POLRI and the Tourism Office, as well as installing standing banners containing prohibitions on what dangerous and prohibited goods may not be carried by airplane passenger.

Reconstructing the Debt Restructuring Mechanism in the Indonesian Law on Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations

The purpose of the Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations (SDPO) is to prevent a debtor who is in trouble for whatever reason, lacks money, or finds it difficult to obtain credit, from being declared bankrupt. The current Indonesian Bankruptcy Law lacks a debt restructuring mechanism. There need to be improvements to ensure quality, transparency of objectivity and implementation mechanisms, honesty and legal certainty. This study aims to reconstruct the debt restructuring mechanism through the SDPO in the Indonesian Bankruptcy Law to provide legal certainty and benefit for all parties. This research has an Indonesian national scope. This is normative legal research that applies the statute and comparative approaches. Results show that Law Number 37 of 2004 still does not provide a legal framework for an effective corporate reorganization or debt restructuring. This law should be a system created to prepare agreements between creditors and debtors to negotiate based on an analysis of future events. Debtors often fail to postpone their obligation to pay debts not because the debtor did not submit a reconciliation plan, but because an agreement was not reached in the reconciliation process. As Law Number 37 of 2004 does not regulate the form of debt restructuring and company reorganization (including the payment process, payment period, and interest rate reduction) to save the debtor’s company, it is still difficult for the debtor’s company to pay off its debts.

Roma Armee and the Paradox of Representation

Like most of Yael Ronen’s theatre, Roma Armee complicates notions of identity. It presents a world in which representation simultaneously blinds and illuminates. Ronen’s use of stereotypes deconstructs prevalent images of Roma and Romani Travellers to start a process of healing and reconciliation that recognizes actual experience.

Implementation of medication reconciliation at admission and discharge in Ministry of Defense Health Services hospitals: a multicentre study

Cosmopolitanism and Decolonization: Contradictory Perspectives on School Reform to Advance Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples

Canadian school jurisdictions have taken steps to accommodate objectives to advance cosmopolitan education reflecting principles such as global citizenship, compassion, tolerance, responsibility, and respect within school curricula and educational practice. At the same time, a parallel set of reconciliation-related educational reforms, aligned with the Calls to Action that accompanied the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission final report, have also gained urgency. Elements of reconciliation processes complement visions of cosmopolitanism, including objectives to foster dialogue and understanding between groups and advancements towards more holistic orientations to pedagogy and knowledge. However, conceptually and in practice, several tensions emerge, especially in a context in which educational priorities are contested. In this paper, we explore these connections and tensions with reference to findings from our research examining public perspectives on educational reforms to support reconciliation.

Barriers and Facilitators of Communication in the Medication Reconciliation Process during Hospital Discharge: Primary Healthcare Professionals' Perspectives.

The WHO established that medication errors are the most common and preventable errors and represent an expenditure of 42 billion U.S. dollars annually. The risk of medication errors increases in transitions between levels of care, mainly from hospital care to primary healthcare after hospital discharge. In this context, communication is a key element in the safety of the medication reconciliation process. The aim of this paper was to describe the barriers to, and facilitators of, effective communication during the medication reconciliation process at hospital discharge in people over 65 years of age, from the perspective of primary healthcare professionals. A qualitative descriptive study was designed, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 individuals, of whom 13 were nurses and 8 were physicians. This study was carried out with healthcare professionals belonging to primary healthcare centres in Huelva (Spain). Following content analysis of the discourses we identified 19 categories, grouped into three areas: interlevel communication, communication between primary healthcare professionals, and communication between healthcare professionals and patients/caregivers. The barriers found mainly relate to the adequacy and use of technological tools, time available, workload and the level of collaboration of patients/caregivers. Facilitating elements for communication in medication reconciliation included technologies, such as computerized medical history, protocolization of clinical sessions, the presence of case management nurse and interdisciplinary teamwork.

Fraught subjects: decolonial approaches to racialized international students as “settlers of colour in the making”

ABSTRACT This paper contributes to migration studies, settler colonial studies and critical internationalization studies by mapping as connected two concurrent settler colonial preoccupations, reconciliation and internationalization. In Canada, as in other Western countries, international students are a crucial resource as they increasingly sustain post-secondary funding. At the same time, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2015) has charged the educational sector to put reconciliation and decolonization at the heart of their mandate. Drawing on interviews with racialized international students in Ontario, Canada, this paper examines how racialized international students may have complex relationships to coloniality and be complicit in legitimating settler colonialism. We argue that the processes of reconciliation and internationalization must be understood as deeply interconnected especially because the obfuscation of coloniality is a key technology of settler rule.

The origins of the Anglosphere idea and the contestation of Australian nationhood, 1991–2007

This article shows how Australian politics played an under-researched part in the development of the Anglosphere idea. By examining the contestation of nationhood in Australia from the republic referendum of the 1990s until the mid-2000s, this article offers a new interpretation of the genesis of the Anglosphere idea. The article suggests that debates about national identity in Australia and the Anglosphere idea are co-constitutive. These co-constitutive relationships are with the United Kingdom (via the republic debate, the process of reconciliation between settlers and Indigenous peoples and civics and citizenship education), New Zealand (via ‘Anzac’ war commemoration) and the United States of America (via defence and security). The Anglosphere idea remains important to debates about national identity and public policy in Australia and provides context for decisions about how Australia positions itself in the world at a time of significant transnational challenges and threats.

Exploring inclusive victimhood narratives: the case of Bosnia-Herzegovina

Narratives are essential tools for communicating thoughts about competitive and inclusive victimhood socially and politically. In reconciliation processes, promoting narratives of inclusive victimhood (an understanding that ‘we all suffered together’) has been suggested as one way to overcome competitive victimhood (the idea that one ethnoreligious group or nation is the sole or primary victim in a conflict or war). However, the notion of inclusive victimhood remains understudied in post-war contexts in which exposure to violence was relatively imbalanced between former adversaries. This article traces the potential narrative variation from competitive to inclusive victimhood in post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina. It draws on (1) the competitive victimhood typology as an analytical tool and (2) a mapping of narrative sites as a methodological tool for tracing collective victimhood. The article scrutinises less competitive and inclusive accounts of victimhood identities in Bosnia-Herzegovina by examining the narratives that recognise outgroup victimhood and acknowledge ingroup responsibility for harmdoing. It suggests that there is potential for peaceful coexistence realised through the narrative of shared suffering, especially in post-war contexts where the exposure to violence was not entirely unidirectional. However, shared responsibility is less likely to be observed when the exposure to violence was highly asymmetrical.

Laboratory Life: Twenty Years of Experimental Research with Locals and New Comers in Remote Rural Areas

Through the Latour concept of philosophy of science of laboratory life, the life course of a (geo) ethnographer researcher is analyzed, in order to establish the emotional or more personal dimensions that do not usually appear in research papers, but that have notable relevance in qualitative research. The text is structured in three large parts: A conceptual vision of the new experimental geography; the experimental geo-ethnography in old social, new social and place scenarios; and finally, the most personal and emotional dimension of the research. The first part establishes the geo-ethnographic experimental context and the assumptions in fieldwork, in addition to the geo-ethnographic reconciliation process. In the second part, the main qualitative research problems related to mobility, resistance and dynamics in place are established. Finally, in the third part the research perceptions, the personal experiences, and the emotional dimension of the research in remote rural areas are established. The laboratory life of a researcher, allows one to establish scalar conclusions and rigor in qualitative research.

Impact of pharmacist‐led discharge medication reconciliation at an Academic Medical Center

AbstractPrior studies evaluating the impact of pharmacist‐led discharge medication reconciliation have demonstrated higher rates of medication discrepancy detection and intervention with variable effects on hospital readmission. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a newly developed pharmacist‐led hospital discharge medication reconciliation process implemented with an interdisciplinary Internal Medicine Service. This was a retrospective, single‐center, pre‐post observational cohort study. Institutional review board approval was obtained. The primary end point was quantification and categorization of medication discrepancies identified on the hospital discharge medication list. Secondary end points included characterization of interventions made during the discharge medication reconciliation process, and 30‐day hospital readmission rates that were adjusted using a multivariable logistic regression model. A total of 144 patients were included in the pharmacist‐led discharge medication reconciliation intervention group and 144 patients were included in the historical control. There was a statistically significant four‐fold reduction in the number of medication discrepancies identified on discharge medication lists in the intervention group (77 vs. 18 in the historical control vs. intervention groups, respectively; p < 0.0001). When adjusted for length of stay (L), acuity of the admission (A), comorbidity of the patient (C), and emergency department use in the last 6 months (E) (LACE) index and age, the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for 30‐day readmission was 0.51 (95% confidence interval: 0.27–0.95) in the intervention versus the historical control group. Implementation of an interdisciplinary pharmacist‐led discharge medication reconciliation program was associated with a significant reduction in medication discrepancies on the discharge medication list, as well as a reduction in the adjusted odds of 30‐day hospital readmission.

“A calf cannot fail to pick a colour from its mother”: intergenerational transmission of trauma and its effect on reconciliation among post-genocide Rwandan youth

BackgroundMore than one million Rwandans were killed over a span of one hundred days during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis. Many adult survivors were severely traumatized by the events, and young people, including those who were born after the genocide, have experienced similar genocide-related trauma. Building on a growing body of research on the generational transmission of trauma, our study addressed the following questions: (1) what are the possible mechanisms of trauma transmission from older generation to post-genocide Rwandan youth, and (2) what are the effects of intergenerational trauma on reconciliation processes in Rwanda.MethodsA qualitative study was conducted in Rwanda among youth born after the genocide, with parents who survived the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis and among mental health and peace-building professionals. Individual interviews (IDIs) included 19 post-genocide descendants of survivors and six focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 36 genocide survivor parents residing in Rwanda’s Eastern Province. Ten IDIs were also conducted with mental health and peace-building professionals in the capital city of Kigali. Respondents were recruited through five local organisations that work closely with survivors and their descendants. An inductive thematic analysis approach was used to analyse the data.ResultsFindings from this study suggest that the trauma experienced by genocide survivor parents is perceived by Rwandan youth, mental health and peace-building professionals, and survivor parents themselves to be transmitted from parent to child through human biology mechanisms, social patterns of silence and disclosure of genocide experiences, and children’s and youth’s everyday contact with a traumatized parent. Genocide-related trauma among survivor parents is seen as often being triggered by both life at home and the annual genocide commemoration events. Additionally, when transmitted to genocide survivor descendants, such trauma is understood to negatively affect their psychological and social well-being. Intergenerational trauma among youth with genocide survivor parents limits their involvement in post-genocide reconciliation processes. Findings specifically show that some youth avoid reconciliation with a perpetrator’s family due to mistrust as well as fear of re-traumatizing their own parents.
