Centering Acculturation as an Approach to Challenging the Fragility of Human Rights in Indonesia
Get PDFThe degree of fulfillment of human rights differs from one situation to another, from one country to another. Although a country\u27s constitution sets out the framework for protecting human rights, attacks on human rights at a practical level are visible. We can see that human rights are increasingly fragile. Specifically, Indonesia is experiencing a various kinds of human rights problems. For example, some minority groups such as the Ahmadiyya minority Group and Christians, routinely face discrimination and restrictions on human rights. This article discusses the concept of acculturation as an approach to challenging the fragility of human rights in Indonesia specifically and, more broadly, around the world. The author uses a critical analysis of previous academic studies to explore and elaborate on this discourse.

Tambang dan Perlawanan Rakyat: Studi Kasus Tambang di Manggarai, NTT
No full textSince a little over a decade ago, Mining Corp. had come to maintain a challenging role in the presence of the host government and local indigenous community, particularly landowners. the reflection of tensions and social complexities have become apparent in Manggarai, Flores, Ntt (an exception to many advanced countries with indigenous communities). Mining Corp. did not cultivated a favourable relationship with the indigenous local communities. In other words, they tend to have expansive destruction in local communities. In recent years, global corporations have been speaking the language of development. While corporations are increasingly being imputed a major development role by multilateral organizations, this remains a controversial topic. Even more controversial is the question of whether corporations make a meaning ful contribution to development in conflict situations or the absence of democratic government. Some Corp, such as Pt Sumber Jaya Asia, do try to justify their operating in Manggarai with some legal basis from local government. this paper contends local resistance through ecocide phenomenon.  
A Qualitative Analysis of the Business Models of Shared Workspaces
Get PDFabstract: The emergence and fast growth of shared workspaces have attracted increasing attention from investors, practitioners, and researchers. Overall, this industry is still at an early stage of development and the business models of shared workspace providers are still evolving. To enhance the understanding of the different business models adopted by the leading shared workspace providers, I conduct an in-depth qualitative analysis of three current market leaders - Regus, WeWork, and UrWork – using the Business Model Canvas proposed by Osterwalder (2008). My analysis suggests that shared workspace providers creates value by offering three tiers of services: (1) satisfying users’ needs for physical office spaces, (2) helping them build an enterprise eco-system, and (3) facilitating the development of a user community. I further use the PEST model to analyze how the macro-environmental factors in China and U.S. may have contributed to the development of different shared workspace business models in these two countries. Based on the above analyses, I propose a list of factors that may be critical to investors’ valuations of shared workspace companies.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Business Administration 201
Efficiency of partner choice and sanctions in Lotus is not altered by nitrogen fertilization
Get PDFEukaryotic hosts must exhibit control mechanisms to select against ineffective bacterial symbionts. Hosts can minimize infection by less-effective symbionts (partner choice) and can divest of uncooperative bacteria after infection (sanctions). Yet, such host-control traits are predicted to be context dependent, especially if they are costly for hosts to express or maintain. Legumes form symbiosis with rhizobia that vary in symbiotic effectiveness (nitrogen fixation) and can enforce partner choice aswell as sanctions. In nature, legumes acquire fixed nitrogen from both rhizobia and soils, and nitrogen deposition is rapidly enriching soils globally. If soil nitrogen is abundant, we predict host control to be downregulated, potentially allowing invasion of ineffective symbionts. We experimentally manipulated soil nitrogen to examine context dependence in host control. We co-inoculated Lotus strigosus from nitrogen depauperate soils with pairs of Bradyrhizobium strains that vary in symbiotic effectiveness and fertilized plants with either zero nitrogen or growth maximizing nitrogen. We found efficient partner choice and sanctions regardless of nitrogen fertilization, symbiotic partner combination or growth season. Strikingly, host control was efficient even when L. strigosus gained no significant benefit from rhizobial infection, suggesting that these traits are resilient to short-term changes in extrinsic nitrogen, whether natural or anthropogenic. © 2014 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society.
