How does cultural capital influence the school choice of rural and urban migrant families in Nanjing, China? Evidence from a survey study

Across China, the household registration (hukou) policy has restricted the school admission of rural–urban migrant children in urban areas. In 2017, the Nanjing government issued the Tenants Have the Same Right as Householders (THSRH) policy to allow tenants in urban areas access to public-school resources. However, what the migrant children have experienced in and after negotiating access to these schools deserves serious attention from educators, scholars and policymakers. This study surveyed 186 rural–urban migrant parents in Nanjing who chose to send their children to junior secondary schools after the implementation of the THSRH policy. The study identified that higher socioeconomic and household status of rural–urban migrants increased their choices for junior secondary schools. However, the study demonstrated that the restriction in the hukou policy is still a dominant factor influencing public-school access. The study highlighted that the interaction of the development of extracurricular abilities and investment in private supplementary tutoring are two main factors that influence the school choices of rural–urban migrant families.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COMPLETE SYSTEMATIC LAND REGISTRATION BASED ON REGULATION OF THE MINISTER OF AGRARIA AND SPATIAL PLANNING/HEAD OF THE NATIONAL LAND AGENCY NUMBER 6 OF 2018 FOR LEGAL LEGALITY OF LAND RIGHTS

Complete Systematic Land Registration (CSLR) is useful for the community to obtain the legal legality of land rights. The legal legality of land rights aims to create an orderly administration and legal order, which is urgent to avoid potential land disputes. Currently, it is found that not a few people from the community have an orderly administration of land ownership. This is evidenced by the total number of around 126 million land parcels in Indonesia, but still, around 100.14 million land parcels have been registered in the Complete Systematic Land Registration (CSLR) program, and 82.5 million certificates have been issued. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Complete Systematic Land Registration (CSLR) program based on the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency Number 6 of 2018 for the legality of land rights in Tenggong village, Rejotangan District, also described the constraints and government efforts to make the CSLR program successful in Rejotangan District. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of direct observation and interviews in the field. Data sources were obtained from primary and secondary data with qualitative descriptive data analysis method. The research results show that the Complete Systematic Land Registration (CSLR) policy in the context of realizing orderly land administration in Tulungagung City has been going well where the policy standards and targets are already heading in the right direction, namely people from weak to middle economic groups, both those with fixed incomes and those with irregular incomes. In addition, the bureaucracy that impedes BPN's efforts and obstacles in the smooth running of CSLR is to be simplified so that the program can be implemented properly, quickly and efficiently to reach even more layers of society who benefit from the program.

How Is The Readiness To Carry Out Online Registration In The Malang Primary Health Care?

Background: RME is one of the information subsystems connected to other information subsystems in the health service facility, such as patient registration activities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the readiness of PHC in Malang to use online registration applications. 
 Methods: Quantitative descriptive research was used. The research was conducted in 15 PHCs in Malang in June 2021. The population in this study were all patients, all heads of PHCs, and all Medical Record Officers (MRO) at PHCs. The respondents were 15 physicians, 27 MRO, and 330 patients from 15 PHCs seeking medication. The data was measured using a questionnaire designed for patient groups and healthcare provider groups in PHCs per the available literature. Additionally, the scalability and repeatability coefficients for the survey questions are employed in the validity test. The response to questions was presented as an average value. 
 Results: In accordance with the average Likert Scale, the Head of PHC (4,2), MRO (4,15), and patients (4,18) were all ready to use online registration. The study's findings about PHC revealed that 100% of PHC in Malang had adequate human resources, an effective operating system and application, a supporting computer, and a budget. Only around 50% of PHCs have an online registration policy, though.
 Conclusion: All PHCs and patients were ready to use online registration. According to this study, all PHCs should be ready to prepare facilities and infrastructure and implement online registration.

Evaluation of The Impact of The Full Systemic Land Registration Policy Implementation in Baubau City

This article intends to evaluate the impact of implementing a full systematic land registration program in Baubau City. With this aim, the researcher used the policy evaluation theory of Wahab as a tentative reference. This research was designed as a qualitative policy evaluation with a formal approach where the assessment used a descriptive approach to produce valid information. The research data was obtained by interviewing the main informants supported by the results of observations and documentation studies and analyzed qualitatively. The data analysis used was an interactive analytical model which included data reduction, data presentation, conclusions, and verification. This research concludes a full systematic land registration program has an impact on the government and society. The government can map plots of land and citizens have legal certainty overland through land certificates, land separation for heirs, and land certificates which are used as business collateral through banking. A full systematic land registration program is also able to reduce the number of overlapping or litigation lands. Implementers and policy planners in the future must pay attention to the input that there needs to be assistance after the community has obtained a certificate so that the land certificate is not used for productive activities. To further minimize uncertified land, further coordination with landowners outside Baubau city and local/kelurahan governments could be intensified.

Significance of herbal/botanical monograph in international registration of Chinese medicine

Herbal/botanical monograph, first emerging abroad, includes the scientific conclusions on safety and effectiveness of herbal medicine/botanical medicine, as it is often compiled by drug regulatory authorities. It is designed to unify the related technologies in this field and evaluation standards for review. Thus, herbal/botanical monograph is vital for the internationalization of Chinese medicine and being inscribed into the herbal/botanical monograph of target country is the first step for drug registration there. At the moment, there are few domestic studies on international herbal/botanical monographs, let alone the importance of the monographs in international registration of Chinese medicine preparations. This study first described international monographs on herbal/botanical medicine, then discussed the similarities and differences between international monographs and Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and finally analyzed the significance and value of the monographs in the international registration of Chinese medicine. On this basis, this study underscored the research on herbal/botanical monographs of key candidate countries for Chinese medicine registration, with a view to enhancing international recognition and laying the foundation for international registration and related policy formulation.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE PROLIFERATION OF UNREGISTERED EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT CENTRES IN MARONDERA URBAN DISTRICT, MASHONALAND EAST PROVINCE, ZIMBABWE

The study investigated the proliferation of unlicensed ECD (Early Childhood Development) Centres in Marondera Urban Ward 4. A sample of ten unlicensed ECD operators was drawn from a population of forty unlicensed ECD operators. The study was prompted by the high proliferation rate of the unlicensed ECD Centres in Marondera Urban Ward 4 for the past five years. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from the unlicensed ECD operators. Interviews were used to collect data from Marondera Urban Ward 4 councillors and Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) officer at Marondera MoPSE provincial offices. The data was analysed and presented in tables, charts and narratives. The results show that the councillor and the MoPSE were aware of the problem of the proliferation of unlicensed ECD Centres in Marondera Ward 4. The findings ECD business was dominated by women in Zimbabwe and no wonder why women were running the majority of unlicensed ECD Centres in Marondera Urban Ward 4. Women are perceived as the gender that was afraid to commit offences or crimes, but results show that they were bold to commit offences. Due to the harsh economic environment in Zimbabwe, women and men were alike in committing offences to provide for their families and survivors. Operating unlicensed ECD Centres was operating an informal business. The economic environment, personal motivation, the ease with which the ECD Centres could be established, and the relaxation of law enforcement agents were the main drivers of the proliferation of ECD centres in Marondera Urban. The study recommended that MoPSE and other stakeholders in the registration of ECD centres should amend the current ECD Centre registration policy and procedures to suit the current economic environment without compromising the health and safety of the ECD pupils. The government should give incentives to registered ECD Centres that may motivate unlicensed ECD operators to get licensed. The MoPSE and local authorities should involve ECD operators when formulating policies.

Mangliu on film: Wu Wenguang and the Beijing blind floaters

With the loosened Household Registration Policy in China in the late 1980s and early 1990s, peasants flocked to major cities and became peasant workers. Meanwhile, some provincial artists moved to the art capital of Beijing to pursue their artistic careers, among them Wu Wenguang, a pioneering figure in the New Documentary Movement in the 1990s. The two different social groups shared the designation of mangliu because of their similar amorphous or floating lifestyles. In this article, through an analysis of Wu Wenguang’s works in the 1990s and early 2000s, I examine how he documented ‘blind floating’ artists as well as peasant workers, whose life trajectories became entangled. For Wu Wenguang, as representative of provincial artists who lived in the urban-rural fringe of Beijing, his documentation of his contemporary blind floating artists is consistent with his recording of the peasant-turned-blind-floater. I also explore how Wu Wenguang’s aesthetic of xianchang (being on the scene) is in accordance with his self-identification as a blind floating artist who lived in communities with blind floating peasant workers. The collaborative piece Dance with Farm Workers provides a reflection on the utilisation of peasant workers in performance art. Wu Wenguang addressed social issues revolving around peasant workers by revealing their status of being exploited in the collaborative performance between artists and peasant workers. In the guise of collaborative performers, peasant workers were nevertheless caught in a power relationship similar to the one between employer and wage labourer.

Return to Value Rationality, Focusing on The Reform of the Household Registration System under the Regulation of Local Government: Based on Chengdu’s “Dual-Track and Parallel” Settlement Policy

This study believes that effective local government regulation is the key to achieving successful household registration governance, that is, in the system creation and policy formulation, tool rationality returns to value rationality. The characteristics of “political people” and “economic people” in local governments encourage them to make rational decisions in the reform of the household registration system, resulting in household registration policies that are often highly directional and purposeful, making it difficult to consider development efficiency and social fairness. Chengdu’s “dual-track parallel” settlement strategy is a behavior choice for local governments to return to value rationality, reflecting Chengdu municipal government’s “social people” feature. It achieves a balance between meeting the needs of talents and building a healthy household registration proportion by correlating “conditional entry” and “integral entry.” This not only realizes the absorption of high-quality talents, but also provides settlement channels for outsiders with limited conditions.

Household Registration, Land Property Rights, and Differences in Migrants’ Settlement Intentions—A Regression Analysis in the Pearl River Delta

Objectives: Few studies have examined the impacts of structural differences in the urban–rural dichotomy under the new household registration policy on migration and settlement behavior. Nevertheless, the rationale for the settlement policy of local governments should be further elucidated and improved. This study aims to analyze the household registration, land property rights, and differences in migrants’ settlement intentions. Methods: This study used migration survey data from the Pearl River Delta and probit regression to fill this gap in the literature. Findings: Because of the long-term effects of the household registration system and their socioeconomic differences, urban-urban migrants and rural–urban migrants differed in their settlement intentions. Furthermore, the new points-based household registration system affected migrants’ settlement intentions. Relative to the rural–urban migrants, urban–urban migrants more easily met the settlement requirements under the points-based system, and they tended to settle in their current cities. By contrast, migrants with farmland in their hometowns tended to settle there. The findings underscore the relevance of adopting perspectives that consider the urban–rural dichotomy and related structural differences to understand migrants’ settlement intentions in China.

Implementasi Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap Berbasis Partisipasi Masyarakat di Desa Dukuh Kecamatan Ngadiluwih Kabupaten Kediri

Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning / Head of National Land Agency Number 6 of 2018 on 2018 on Complete Systematic Land Registration has been improved by adding its implementation based on society participation. This is to achieve the target in 2025 that all land must be registered. Kediri Regency in 2019 has 1.386 km² of land from 1.523.92 km² have not been certified. The head of the Kediri Regency Land Office formed 4 PTSL working area unit team but can not to handle the number of targets that had to be solved. Technical instructions of PTSL+PM is a reference to implement PTSL +PM in Dukuh Village so that the society can be actively helped Puldatan work quickly and carefully. The study aims to determine the implementation model of a complete systematic land registration policy based on society participatition in the Dukuh Village. The research method that will be used is a descriptive qualitative. Research has been taken and the resulths show that the implementation of the PTSL+PM policy in Dukuh Village has done well and achieve the registration target of 85% of the total quota of 2500 fields. This is seen from the content of the policy that requires the interests of the President in ensuring legal law. Adequate resource in terms od human resources, budget, facilities make implementation has done optimally in Dukuh Village.

Shame and Justice: Partners of Individuals on Sex Offense Registries Encourage Policy Reform

Sex offense registration and notification (SORN) policies can contribute to stigma and negative consequences for partners of registered individuals. The present study utilized a self-report questionnaire to ask these partners what they would say to policymakers if given the opportunity. A thematic analysis of the responses revealed three themes which highlight the distinct issues related to registries, describe direct consequences experienced by the partners, and propose changes to existing policy. This study provides valuable insight into the experiences of a hard-to-reach population and can help generate critical discussion around the sweeping impacts SORN policies have on individuals they were not intended to reach. Implications for qualitative criminology and policy are discussed.

Sociability and Wage Earnings of Rural Migrant Workers

In recent years, the total number of rural migrant workers has been growing. By the end of 2019, this number has reached 290.8 million. However, there is a big gap between rural migrant workers and urban workers in terms of employment, income, public services and social security until now, especially wage earnings, which has received much attention. Many studies fully explore the determinants of the wage earnings of rural migrant workers from the perspectives of education, vocational training, household registration policy, city size, social capital and social networks, while few studies focus on the impact of sociability.Based on the data from the Chinese Family Panel Studies（CFPS）in 2010 and 2014, this paper constructs an indicator to evaluate the sociability of workers from the two sub-dimensions of language expression and interpersonal relationship, and explores the effect of sociability on the wage earnings of rural migrant workers. Then, it uses the regression of one-period lagged variable and the instrumental variable method to deal with the possible endogeneity. After that, the results are still robust.The results indicate that: （1）Sociability has a significant positive effect on the wage earnings of rural migrant workers, and obviously there are gender and intergenerational differences in the impact of two sub-indicators.（2）There is a significant “migration effect” that the impact of sociability on wages would be weaker while the migration distance is increasing.（3）With the increase of wage earnings quantile, the impact of sociability becomes more significant.（4）In terms of mechanism, sociability mainly affects the wage earnings of rural migrant workers through four channels: social capital effect, career development effect, labor contract effect and information advantage effect. It is recommended that the relevant policies on the development of rural human capital should not only focus on the traditional human capital, such as education and training, but also strengthen the cultivation of sociability and other non-cognitive abilities, especially rural children.The marginal contributions of this research are that: （1）The perspective is more focused. This paper only investigates the impact of sociability（not non-cognitive abilities）, while focusing on rural migrant workers.（2）Considering the characteristics of migration, this paper examines the “migration effect” of sociability returns.（3）In terms of mechanism, this paper puts forward the labor contract effect and the information advantage effect, which supplements the related research.

Effect of age and care organization on sources of variation in kidney transplant waiting list registration

Despite national guidelines, medical practices and kidney transplant waiting list registration policies may differ from one dialysis/transplant unit to another. Benefit risk assessment variations, especially for elderly patients, have also been described. The aim of this study was to identify sources of variation in early kidney transplant waiting list registration in France. Among 16842 incident patients during the period 2016-2017, 4386 were registered on the kidney transplant waiting list at the start of, or during the first year after starting, dialysis (26%). We developed various log-linear mixed effect regression models on three levels: patients, dialysis networks, and transplant centers. Variability was expressed as variance from the random intercepts (± standard error). Although patient characteristics have an important impact on the likelihood of registration, the overall magnitude of variability in registration was low and shared by dialysis networks and transplant centers. Between-transplant center variability (0.23±0.08) was 1.8higher than between-dialysis network variability (0.13±0.004). Older age was associated with a lower probability of registration and greater variability between networks (0.04, 0.20, & 0.93 in the 18-64, 65-74, and 75-84 age groups). Targeted interventions should focus on elderly patients and/or certain regions with greater variability in waiting list access.

Spatial Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of the World Architectural Heritage

This research focusing on the world architectural heritage sites registered in the World Heritage List established by UNESCO aimed to analyze its spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors at the world and regional level to provide a scientific basis for further architectural heritage conservation. Firstly, this study explored the spatial distribution characteristics of the world architectural heritage sites using the ArcGIS spatial analysis method. Then, we used the space–time statistical method to analyze their spatial and temporal distribution characteristics. The main findings are as follows: (1) world architectural heritage sites are distributed in clusters with imbalanced patterns and a strong degree of concentration: in Western Europe, Eastern Asia, and Northwestern Latin America, with clear country distribution, especially in Italy, China, and Mexico; (2) the time of construction can be divided into four stages: the ancient historic sites stage, the uniform and stable stage, the stage of growth in Asia and Europe, and the stage of growth in Europe, America, and Africa; (3) different types of heritage sites are unevenly distributed, and the type distribution differs significantly between regions, with regional uniqueness. The authors also analyzed the influencing factors of the spatial distribution characteristics and highlighted the important influence of the geographical environment, historical evolution, economic strength and discourse power, international heritage protection situation, and registration policy. This study may provide basis for specific guidance and directions for heritage protection for various countries and regions.

The Unknown Prevalence of Postrandomization Bias in 15 Physical Therapy Journals: A Methods Review.

To determine the prevalence of prospective clinical trial registration and postrandomization bias in published musculoskeletal physical therapy randomized clinical trials (RCTs). A methods review. Articles indexed in MEDLINE and published between January 2016 and July 2020 were included. Two independent blinded reviewers identified the RCTs using Covidence. We included RCTs related to musculoskeletal interventions that were published in International Society of Physiotherapy Journal Editors member journals. Data were extracted independently for the variables of interest from the identified RCTs by 2 blinded reviewers. The data were presented descriptively or in frequency tables. One hundred thirty-eight RCTs were identified. One third of RCTs were consistent with their prospectively registered intent (49/138); consistency with prospectively registered intent could not be determined for two thirds (89/138) of the RCTs. Four RCTs (8%)reported inconsistent results with the primary aims and 7 (14%) with the outcomes from the prospective clinical trial registry, despite high methodological quality (Physiotherapy Evidence Database [PEDro] scale score). Differences between prospectively registered and non-prospectively registered RCTs for PEDro scale scores had a medium effect size (r = 0.30). Two of 15 journals followed their clinical trial registration policy 100% of the time; in 1 journal, the published RCTs were consistent with the clinical trial registration. Postrandomization bias in musculoskeletal physical therapy RCTs could not be ruled out, due to the lack of prospective clinical trial registration and detailed data analysis plans.

PRIVACY, FACE, AND SOCIAL RESPECTABILITY IN A DIGITAL CHINA

This study attempts to delineate $2 when they use social media, shop online, and make electronic payments using WeChat Pay and Alipay. It is part of a book I am writing on perceptions of privacy and surveillance in China and is grounded in an inductive content analysis of 58 semi-structured in-depth interviews I conducted late 2019 in Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu. Privacy is written with two different words in Mandarin: $2 (a personal thing you do not wish to disclose in public akin to Western definitions) and $2 (hiding a shameful secret). Most of my interviewees used the latter meaning: $2 . Privacy, thus, was $2 , understood as $2 (moral face - e.g., purchases of personal medicine, underwear and sex-related products, or weapons) and $2 (social face - eg., financial information). Moreover, they perceived the need to hide shameful information $2 : parents and supervisors, or hackers who would disclose personal information, but less so an abstract entity such as the government. For instance, several interviewees felt they could “hide on Weibo” using a pseudonym, despite the real-name registration policy. These findings on privacy may shed slight on how Chinese citizens view the digitalization of surveillance through facial recognition monitoring and the building of the social credit system, and contribute to culture-sensitive surveillance research.

Patient capability: Justice and grassroots healthcare delivery in China

The current reform of China's healthcare system focuses mainly on two dimensions: the promotion of primary healthcare and the improvement of quality of grassroots healthcare (GH). Specifically, the reforms are aimed at meeting the needs of patients in the grassroots areas (PGAs) through the provision of universal healthcare and hierarchical diagnosis and treatment (HDT). In practice, however, disparities in health outcomes between the grassroots and upper levels persist. The gaps between increased health coverage and heightened barriers to accessing quality medical care in the grassroots areas are growing ever larger. What explains this paradox is the limited capability of PGAs to transform healthcare resources into better health-seeking behaviors and health outcomes, resulting in injustice that is built into the system, which is neither ethical nor fair. Using Amartya Sen's capability approach (CA) to explore issues of justice in relation to China's GH system and its performance, we suggest that an institutional structure, one that focuses on promoting universal coverage in the grassroots areas, although necessary, is by itself insufficient in promoting justice and equality in accessing healthcare. Institutional disparities in the healthcare system and China's household registration policy, constructed according to the rural-urban divide, have also produced injustices. We argue that greater attention should be given to meeting the medical needs of PGAs and empowering them with greater choice, permitting them a higher level of freedom and agency, and thus remedying the problems that we describe. We conclude with policy recommendations aimed at improving justice within the system.

The Juridical Overview Of Customary Land Registration

Indonesia in Article 18 B paragraph 2 states that the State recognizes and respects customary law community units and their traditional rights as long as they are still alive and in accordance with community development and the principles of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, which are regulated by law. This study aims to 1). Describe the Land Registration Policy in the current era; 2). Describe the legal policy of ulayat land registration. This type of research is a doctrinal research with a juridical approach that uses secondary data as the main data source. The current land registration policy is based on the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2018 concerning Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) which targets 126 million parcels of certified land throughout Indonesia by 2025. Policy on ulayat land registration Referring to PP No. 27 of 1999 concerning registration, it does not make ulayat land as land that can be issued a certificate, even though providing legal guarantees and protection for ulayat land is a mandate of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and the UUPA. Therefore, the government can issue a Certificate of Customary Land through a Regional Regulation as the output of the Customary Land Registration.

Trial registration and selective outcome reporting in Endodontic Research: Evidence over a 5-year period.

To assess the prevalence of registration of clinical trials in endodontic research and to identify outcome reporting discrepancies between trial registration entries and respective final publications. Associations with publication characteristics, such as journal, year of publication, origin, number of centres and authors, funding and statistical significance of the findings, were also sought. All reports of endodontic randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in 4 endodontic specialty and 4 general dental journals from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2020 were identified. Trial registration frequency patterns were assessed for the included RCTs, whilst for the ones registered, outcome reporting discrepancies were recorded. Article characteristics such as year of publication, geographic region, number of centres, authors participating in the publication, funding, type of registration and others were identified. Descriptive statistics and univariable/multivariable logistic regression were performed to examine the effect of study characteristics on identified registration practices. One hundred and fifty-five RCTs were included, with the majority published in specialty journals (121/155; 78.1%). A total of 42.6% of the identified RCTs was registered (66/155), mostly retrospectively (38/66; 57.6%). There was strong evidence that each additional year for more recent publication accounted for 1.42 times higher odds of being registered (adjusted Odds Ratio=1.42; 95%CI: 1.11, 1.80; p=.004). More than 1/3 of registered RCTs presented outcome reporting discrepancies (24/66; 36.4%), whilst such inconsistencies were almost evenly distributed between primary and secondary outcomes. Trial registration policies in endodontic research should be reviewed and active endorsement of prospective registration practices should be prioritized for better clarity and transparency of the disseminated research. Outcome reporting discrepancies shall thus be eliminated, offering increased credibility in research findings and eliminating bias in this respect.
