No full textTwo letters from Mas Sakai to the Sakai Family, sent from Tanforan Assembly Center, informing the family that he will be leaving for Utah the following day. The letter is laced with sarcasm as Sakai describes living conditions at Tanforan ("it wouldn't be right if I called it a concentration camp would it? After all we get the freedom of the track, don't we?"), and incarcerees' expectations of life at Topaz ("we all look to Utah with a song in our hearts (a funeral march) for there are our golden opportunities. Wonderful, trackless, sand to plant in, and cool refreshing salt water to drink. We especially look forward to the toilets (no seats)").Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration.

FROM THE RELIGIOUS STAGE TO THE POLITICAL STAGE: TEUNGKU DAYAH'S POLITICAL COMMUNICATION STUDY IN ACEH
No full textThis paper describes the Teungku Dayah political communication model in maintaining the harmony of Muslims in Aceh. Political turmoil in society often creates unrest, as it separates religious and political values. On the other hand politics is actually very instrumental in the development of Islam in Aceh. Teungku Dayah is the main actor and key figure in political development in Aceh. As a public figure, Teungku Dayah has a stake in the mass vote in the regional elections, the president and other political contests. This research is an analysis of the phenomenon of Teungku Dayah's political role in maintaining the harmony of the people. The technique of data collection used was direct observation, and the data were analyzed by describing the actions of Teungku Dayah's political role. The research concludes that Teungku Dayah has its own system and character in guarding Aceh's political development. He uses the Islamic boarding school and the dayah institutionas media for political communication. But the shift in values in instant politics makes Teungku Dayah's political communication power limited to front stage politics. Further research is necessary on political communication in Teungku Dayah, since political communication is a dynamic study, as dynamic as the conditions in Aceh

The Hybridity of Confectionery in the Jajanan Manuscript NB 499: A Linguistic and Cultural Review
No full textManuscripts serve as historical documents containing a wealth of information, from historical chronicles to culinary notes that reflect the community's habits and attitudes. This study focuses on the Jajanan (snacks) manuscript (code NB 499) at the National Library of Indonesia, dated circa 1931. The objective of this research is to analyze how linguistic and cultural hybridization is manifested within the snack names and recipes recorded in the text. The study employs a descriptive-qualitative approach within an ethnolinguistic theoretical framework. Data were analyzed using the close reading method, integrated with the distributional method to examine linguistic elements and the referential method to interpret non-linguistic aspects such as vernacularization and hybridization. The results indicate that the snack names are predominantly attributive phrases reflecting a blend of Javanese and foreign cultures (Dutch, French, and English). The findings reveal a process of vernacularization through phonetic adjustments to fit the Javanese phonological system. This phenomenon demonstrates the Javanese community's ability to harmonize and adapt colonial influences into their local cultural identity through adaptive linguistic production
Central bank independence : a critical view
No full textWhile expansive literature on central bank independence contains some criticisms to the independent central bank quasi-paradigm, few critical analyses have been undertaken in the years between Friedman (1962) and Posen (1994). The author extends Posen's analysis to developing countries, discussing more broadly and systematically the reasons why merely instituting an independent central bank may not bring about its professed benefits, especially in developing countries. The author argues that widely reported empirical tests that are purported to support the central bank independence proposition are plagued by potential problems of simultaneity, reverse causality, missing variables, and measurement errors. Yet one can not make positive recommendations about institutional arrangements for central banks if causality relations are not well established. Institutions are shaped by a country's record of and preferences for inflation and may have little influence on them. The author also argues that the purported benefits of an independent central bank may be eroded by conflicts between fiscal and monetary policy and by inherent problems of central bank institutional design (especially mechanisms for board appointments, public accountability, and budgetary control). If these institutional problems are not solved, problems of dynamic inconsistency traditionally associated with monetary policy are not eliminated,but merely transformed. The author suggests that the benefits of central bank independence are less likely obtained in less developed countries with shallow financial markets. Accordingly, central bank independence should be granted at a later stage in a country's financial sector development. If a less developed country seeks to establish a low-inflation path, it should concentrate on instituting financial policy reforms (such as liberalization and privatization) that bolster opposition to inflation rather than easily reversible and practically meaningless changes in legal and institutional structures. This will better ensure the sustainability -- and hence the credibility -- of the government's anti-inflation stance. Fiscal policy is often at the root of macroeconomic disturbances in developing countries. Fiscal policy is more deserving of special protection from politics because of fiscal dominance over monetary policy and its greater vulnerability to private interests. The author suggests that the solution might be to make fiscal policy less susceptible to political pressures by creating an independent fiscal board. Tying the fiscal hands of government may seem a far-fetched idea. But would it not make more sense to force discipline on fiscal policy directly rather than indirectly through monetary policy?Economic Theory&Research,National Governance,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Stabilization,Macroeconomic Management

Osservazioni su alcune incertezze e incongruenze nella terminologia dendrometrica
No full textConsiderations on uncertainties and inconsistencies in the dendrometric terminology. In the italian forestry
literature, the adjective “cormometric” combined with the noun volume or its equivalent, is used with
three different meanings which are respectively linked to the stem, to the trunk or large timber. To find the
origins and also the reasons for these different meanings of the term, we need to go back in history. The first
definition is by Alfonso Di Berenger first director of the Vallombrosa Forest, the first seat of higher Forestry
education in Italy between 1869 and 1951. He defined cormometric the volume of the “legname sociale” (industrial
timber), or the trunk. Follows the definition of Vittorio Perona that, in the wake of the German concept
of Derbholz, considers cormometric volume as including also portions of branches above seven centimeters.
Giuseppe Di Tella, Professor of forest mensurations and forest management in Florence between 1916
and 1937 is the author of a large general volume table for fir where the cormometric volume is defined as the
“stem including the top”, but also, following the doctrine, as a measure expressing the volume of the part of
the stem that can provide wood for building or industry. Subsequently, with the definitions of the Professors
Generoso Patrone and Guglielmo Giordano confirming the doctrinal meaning of Di Tella, the sense of the
term remains unchanged. In 1986 Hellrigl called cormometric mass, the aboveground woody tree mass limi -
ted to trunk and limbs to be determined; however, this definition did not find any application. Alternative
definitions by Roberto Del Favero and Orazio La Marca consider cormometric volume including top and
cormometric volume excluding top. In the forest literature, instead, there were more changes in 2007, when
the Forestry Research Portal published a notation regarding cubing of forest stands, stating “in the cubing of
forest stands, woody volume estimated for conifers is, in general, cormometric (i.e., volume of the stem including
bark)” which gave rise to the present note. Alongside, and again in connection with the meaning of
the term cormometric, certain combinations of terminology reported in two multilingual glossaries of IUFRO
are highlighted
