PERAN PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT SEBAGAI HAK KONSTITUSIONAL DALAM PEMBENTUKAN UNDANG UNDANG DI INDONESIA
No full textPartisipasi masyarakat dijamin pada pasal 27 ayat (1) UUD NRI 1945 menyatakan bahwa "semua warga negara memiliki kedudukan yang sama di hadapan hukum dan pemerintahan serta wajib menjunjung hukum dan pemerintahan tanpa kecuali." Pernyataan ini menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan publik bukan hanya hak, tetapi juga berupa kewajiban setiap warga dalam menjalankan serta mendukung proses hukum yang ada. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif yang melibatkan pendekatan perundang-undangan, filosofis dan konseptual. Berdasarkan hasil dari penelitian dan analisis, disimpulkan bahwasanya partisipasi publik merupakan bagian dari hak konstitusional yang diakui dan dilindungi oleh undang-undang. Maka, apabila dalam proses pembentukan undang-undang dilakukan tanpa melibatkan masyarakat atau menjauhkan keterlibatan publik secara aktif, maka hal tersebut dapat dianggap sebagai bentuk pelanggaran terhadap ketentuan konstitusi. Partisipasi dari masyarakat adalah suatu hal penting yang merupakan kesempatan untuk masyarakat luas turut ikut serta dalam pembentukan peraturan tersebut sesuai dengan ketentuan hukum yang berlaku sehingga menjamin terciptanya sistem hukum yang inklusif dan representatif.

Drivers of Electric Vehicle Adoption: a Case Study at Public Chargers in the Netherlands
No full textThe aim of this study was to identify relevant relations between the adoption of electric vehicles at public charging stations and the characteristics of the neighbourhood through a case study in the Netherlands. The study started with creating such measurements of EV adoption in the transaction data of public chargers in the MRA-Elektrisch region. Subsequently, the relevant variables found in the literature study on the drivers of electric vehicle adoption have been translated into a set of neighbourhood characteristics using open data sources. Based on the identified relationships, a further analysis was conducted in order to develop policy recommendation for the municipality. It is suggested that these municipalities increase the capacity of public charging points in high-populated regions, as both the relative and absolute numbers of residents were positively correlated with the occupancy rate. Furthermore, it is recommended to prioritise the neighbourhoods with high potential and a high potential EV user per charger ratio that is high under current conditions for the placement of additional chargers.Engineering and Policy Analysi

No full textMoralising in Dimitri Rostovsky’s Works (from The Dewy Fleece to The Cell Chronicle)
No full textThe article was submitted on 13.06.2022.В статье предлагается рассмотреть нравоучение в творчестве Димитрия Ростовского как отдельный нарратив, имеющий определенный комплекс жанровых характеристик. Многие произнесенные митрополитом Димитрием проповеди могут быть проанализированы не только с точки зрения поучений, прославляющих тот или иной церковный праздник или того или иного православного святого, но и с позиции сочинений, направленных на воспитание и повышение нравственного уровня как паствы, так и пастырей. Особенно выделяются два послания иереям, посвященные таинствам исповеди и евхаристии, в которых святитель выступает в качестве истинного духовного учителя. Эти учительные литературные послания как разновидность книжно-славянской риторики близки по своей стилистике к проповедям митрополита, но несут гораздо более выраженную нравоучительную нагрузку. К нравственно-духовным сочинениям Димитрия, как показывает автор статьи, относится «Апология во утоление печали человека, сущаго в беде, гонении и озлоблении…» (1696), апологемы которой также близки к нравоучениям. Начиная с первых сочинений Димитрия, таких как «Чуда Пресвятой и Преблагословенной Девы Марии» (1677) и «Руно орошенное» (1683), и заканчивая «Келейным летописцем» (1707–1709), нравоучение в творчестве святителя является особым (иногда маркированным, как в «Чудах» и «Руне») нарративом. Их содержание – это объяснение причин грехов человеческих, призыв через покаяние к добродетельной жизни и прославление благодеяний Господних. Нравоучения не только имеют четкую внутреннюю структуру, представляя собой небольшие по объему тексты, толкующие чудеса нанизыванием цитат и образов, заимствованных из Священного Писания и сочинений святых отцов, но и занимают важное место в композиции ранних книг Димитрия, превращаясь в своего рода эпифонемы каждого чуда, оттеняющие смысл сказанного. По такому же типу создан и «Келейный летописец» Димитрия Ростовского: нравоучения наряду с изложением библейской истории и ее толкованием являются неотъемлемой частью памятника. Однако наставления «Келейного летописца» касались не только общехристианских тем, они имели окказиональный характер, отражали обстоятельства, с которыми ростовский митрополит сталкивался в повседневной жизни, сближаясь в этом с текстами, входящими в сборник «Статир», созданный в конце XVII в. в Приуралье.The author of this article proposes to consider moralising in Dimitry Rostovsky’s work as a separate narrative, which has a certain set of genre characteristics. Many sermons delivered by Metropolitan Dimitry can be analysed not only from the point of view of sermons glorifying a church holiday or an Orthodox saint but also from the standpoint of writings aimed at educating and raising the moral level of both the flock and pastors. The author of the article especially highlights two epistles addressed to priests dedicated to the sacraments of Confession and the Eucharist, in which Dimitry Rostovsky acts as a true spiritual teacher. These instructive literary epistles, as a type of Slavic bookish rhetoric, are similar in style to the metropolitan’s sermons, but carry a much more pronounced moralistic load. Apology for the Soothing of Sorrows of a Man Who Is in Trouble, Persecution, and Bitterness… (1696) also belongs to the spiritual writings of Dimitry and its apology is close to moralising. Starting with the first works of Dimitry Rostovsky, such as The Miracle of the Most Holy and Blessed Virgin Mary (1677) and The Dewy Fleece (1683) and ending with The Cell Chronicle (1707–1709), moralising becomes a special narrative (sometimes marked, as in Miracles… and The Dewy Fleece). Their content is an explanation of the causes of human sins, a call through repentance for a virtuous life, and the glorification of the blessings of the Lord. The moralising not only has a clear internal structure in the form of small texts that interpret miracles by presenting quotes and images borrowed from the Holy Scripture and the writings of the holy fathers, but they also occupy an important place in the composition of the early books, turning into a kind of an epiphonema of each miracle. The Cell Chronicle was created in the same way. Along with the presentation of biblical history and its interpretation, moralising is an integral part of the work. However, the instructions of The Cell Chronicle concerned not only general Christian topics, but they were also occasional; reflecting the circumstances of everyday life, they were close to the texts found in the Statir collection created in the Urals in the late seventeenth century
An investigative and evaluative study of factors affecting quality of agricultural and farm information services in Kerala
No full textAgriculture is not only a country’s backbone of food, livelihood and ecological security systems, but is also the very soul of its sovereignty. In Kerala population density is high and land is scarce. To achieve sustainable advancement in quality of human life, meeting the domestic food requirement is to be given foremost priority in development plans. As the area of cultivation cannot be increased and growth of population cannot be controlled growth in food production is to be achieved by qualitative improvement in farming. This requires improvements in material inputs, farming techniques, storage technology and research. Effective integration of these factors is tied closely to adequate information flow, which can be ensured only by an efficient information system for agricultural education, research, extension and development. So evaluation and improvement of existing information services is very crucial for sustainable agricultural growth. The study evaluates the existing information resources, facilities, services, possibilities for resource sharing, accessibility of external sources, and the factors that affect the quality and efficiency of information services in agricultural sector. Coverage is limited to the State of Kerala. Sample consist 105 institutions of different levels, and information users consisting of 426 scientists and 220 farmers. Different sets of questionnaires and interview schedule were used to elicit information. The study found that agricultural research conducted at various institutions in the region at huge public expense has generated knowledge for improving production. Along with these huge collections of acquired content is also stored in the sector. But when a farmer, an extension worker, a scientist or an administrator needs information it is not easily accessible. The study found that agricultural sector fails to effectively bank on information resources available due to the lack of an information system and network. Recommends an Agricultural and Farm Information System for Kerala. Suggests a model plan for a computer communication network for resource sharing between the agricultural institutions in the State, which will also ensure, smooth flow of results of research down to the grassroots level to achieve maximum productivity in agriculture
Delineation of dew formation zones in Iran using long-term model simulations and cluster analysis
No full textDew is a non-conventional source of water that has been gaining interest over the last two decades, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In this study, we performed a long-term (1979-2018) energy balance model simulation to estimate dew formation potential in Iran aiming to identify dew formation zones and to investigate the impacts of long-term variation in meteorological parameters on dew formation. The annual average of dew occurrence in Iran was similar to 102 d, with the lowest number of dewy days in summer (similar to 7 d) and the highest in winter (similar to 45 d). The average daily dew yield was in the range of 0.03-0.14 Lm(-2) and the maximum was in the range of 0.29-0.52 Lm(-2). Six dew formation zones were identified based on cluster analysis of the time series of the simulated dew yield. The distribution of dew formation zones in Iran was closely aligned with topography and sources of moisture. Therefore, the coastal zones in the north and south of Iran (i.e., Caspian Sea and Oman Sea), showed the highest dew formation potential, with 53 and 34 Lm(-2) yr(-2), whereas the dry interior regions (i.e., central Iran and the Lut Desert), with the average of 12-18 Lm(-2) yr(-2), had the lowest potential for dew formation. Dew yield estimation is very sensitive to the choice of the heat transfer coefficient. The uncertainty analysis of the heat transfer coefficient using eight different parameterizations revealed that the parameterization used in this study the Richards (2004) formulation - gives estimates that are similar to the average of all methods and are neither much lower nor much higher than the majority of other parameterizations and the largest differences occur for the very low values of daily dew yield. Trend analysis results revealed a significant (p < 0:05) negative trend in the yearly dew yield in most parts of Iran during the last 4 decades (1979-2018). Such a negative trend in dew formation is likely due to an increase in air temperature and a decrease in relative humidity and cloudiness over the 40 years.Peer reviewe
A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Investigation of COVID-19 Hospitalizations and Mortality Among Autistic People
No full textCurrent evidence suggests the possibility that autistic people may be at more risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalisation, and mortality than the general population. Previous studies, however, are either limited in scale or do not investigate potential risk factors. Research into risk factors focused on general population samples. The current study aims to investigate these risk factors in the autistic population. Using data-linkage and a whole-country population, this study modelled associations between autism and COVID-19 hospitalisation and mortality risk in adults, investigating a multitude of clinical and demographic risk factors. Autistic adults had higher rates of hospitalisation, Standardised Incident Ratio 1.6 in 2020 and 1.3 in 2021, and mortality, Standardised Mortality Ratio 1.52 in 2020 and 1.34 in 2021, due to COVID-19 than the general population. In both populations, age, complex multimorbidity and vaccination status were the most significant predictors of COVID-19 hospitalisation and mortality. Effects of psychotropic medication varied by class. Although similar factors exhibited a positive association with heightened risk of severe COVID-19 in both the autistic and general populations, with comparable effect sizes, mortality rates were elevated among the autistic population compared to the general population. Specifically, complex multimorbidity and classification of prescribed medications may emerge as particularly significant predictors of severe COVID-19 among individuals within the autistic population due to higher prevalence of complex multimorbidity in the autistic population and variability in the association between medication classes and severe COVID-19 between both populations, though further research is needed.

Simplimorpha (Myrtinepticula) sapphirella Stonis & Diškus & Remeikis & Solis 2018, sp. nov.
No full textSimplimorpha (Myrtinepticula) sapphirella Remeikis & Stonis, sp. nov. (Figs. 71–74, 126–129) Type material. Holotype: ♀, CHILE, Cauquenes, Alto Tregualemu, 500 m., 10–12.i.1988, L. E. Peña G., genitalia slide no. RA 594♀ (ZMUC). Diagnosis. The combination of a fuscous brown forewing with strong blue iridescence and unique shape of distally broadened anterior apophysis in the female genitalia (see Fig.129) distinguishes the species from all other congeneric Nepticulidae. Male. Unknown. Female (Figs. 71–74). Forewing length about 2.9 mm; wingspan about 6.6 mm. Head: palpi brownish cream to cream; frontal tuft brownish orange; collar large, comprised of lamellar scales, grey cream, glossy, with some purplish iridescence; scape golden cream; antenna half the length of forewing; flagellum with 28 segments, fuscous brown on upper side (except for the basal third and the tip which remain cream brown or grey cream), pale greybrown on underside. Thorax, tegula and forewing fuscous brown with very strong blue and some purple iridescence, particularly strong on apical half; fringe dark brown, with some slender lamellar scales overlapping; underside of forewing dark brown, with strong purple iridescence, without spots. Hindwing dark grey-brown to blackish brown with little purple iridescence on upper side and underside; fringe dark grey-brown. Legs glossy, brownish cream with a few dark scales on upper side of forelegs. Abdomen fuscous grey on upper side, brownish cream on underside. Female genitalia (Figs. 126–129). Total length about 1200 µm. Anterior apophyses very broad, rounded and broadned distally; posterior apophyses rod-like. Vestibulum slender, without sclerites. Corpus bursae small (reduced), without pectinations or signum, oval-shaped. Accessory sac absent; ductus spermathecae with about 4.5 convolutions, extended into a slender, 710 µm long utriculus; spines or pectinations absent. Abdominal tip broad, truncate. Bionomics. Adults fly January. Otherwise biology is unknown. Distribution. This species occurs in the southern Andes (Chile: Cauquenes) at an altitude about 500 m. Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin sapphires (sapphire) in reference to the very distinct blue iridescence of the forewing. Remarks. There is no wing venation slide available. However, in the holotype, as far as is visible in the nondescaled specimen, the hindwing venation looks almost identical with that of S. nielseni. Additionally, the forewing venation also possesses the incomplete loop of vein A; distally there is one vein less in comparison to S. nielseni. Discussion Simplimorpha (sensu lato) is characterized by a unique character, the strong (or usually total) reduction of a set of two functionally connected, but morphologically separate, sclerites of the male genitalia which is unknown in all other nepticulids. In Simplimorpha (sensu stricto) and Roscidotoga, the reduced gnathos is represented only by two remnants (rudiments), i.e. very small lateral sclerites (Figs. 7, 10), and in Myrtinepticula as a rudimentary transverse rod (Fig. 11), or fully absent (Fig. 12). The uncus appears totally reduced except for S. nielseni. However, Hoare (2000) hypothesized that the lobe-like lateral corners of the tegumen, each bearing a small number of setae, may represent a reduced uncus, which could be the case. A scenario that the subgenera Simplimorpha Scoble, Roscidotoga Hoare and Myrticnepticula subgen. nov. may actually represent three different genera was also considered. However, their differentiation (see Figs. 1–49) depends only on minimal differences in the genitalia structures and host plant preferences. Therefore we consider a subgeneric ranking to be more appropriate, and for clarity of characters in the diagnostics of global Nepticulidae, we synonymize Roscidotoga with Simplimorpha, describe Myrtinepticula within Simplimorpha (sensu lato), and hypothesize a Gondwanan origin for this genus (see Fig. 62). The male genitalia of Simplimorpha and Roscidotoga appear to be indistinguishable (Figs. 1–4, 7–10, 13–17, 20–23, 26–33). Monophyly of Roscidotoga was originally diagnosed with nine characters (Hoare 2000), but they are no longer valid with the current state of knowledge: 1) gnathos strongly reduced or lost (shared with Simplimorpha and Myrtinepticula); 2) tegumen with appressed setose lobes (shared with Simplimorpha and Myrtinepticula); 3) anterior extension of vinculum elongate (shared with Simplimorpha and Myrtinepticula, possibly even not an apomorphy); 4) phallus with one ventral and one dorsal process (shared with Simplimorpha and some Myrtinepticula); 5) transverse bar of transtilla broken in middle (represents an intermediate state between Simplimorpha and some Myrtinepticula); 6) pectinifer strongly reduced (it is possibly a misunderstood character, see below in the Discussion on Pectinivalva); 7) in the female genitalia, anterior apophyses with expanded bases (shared with Myrtinepticula); 8) corpus bursae with diverticulum (shared with Myrtinepticula); 9) forewing with a silver streak from costa and apical suffusion of metallic scales (this is a variable character; in general, the forewing pattern often drastically varies from dull and unicolorous to metallic shiny with bright metallic markings even in very closely related species within the same species group, see Stonis et al. 2017). Hoare (2000) emphasized the bluish to purplish iridescence of the forewing, combined with a triangular silver mark on the costa in the primary description of Roscidotoga which allowed the author to provide a nice name for the taxon. By using Latin roscidus (dewy) and toga (a garment), he suggested the name Roscidotoga. It should be noted that the predominantly Mediterranean Simplimorpha promissa also looks “dewy” (Figs. 63, 64) and South American Myrtinepticula are characterized by a strong blue or purple iridescence. However, as it was mentioned above, the scaling color characters are not reliable, especially at the genus level, and the genitalia characters now appear to be shared. * one species on Paracryphiaceae (Hoare & van Nieukerken 2013) Note: the morphological structures are drawn in different scales The host-plant families of Roscidotoga, Cunoniaceae (incl. Eucryphiaceae) and Elaeocarpaceae are considered to have formed part of the ancient angiosperm flora that covered large areas of Australia, Antarctica and South America in the late Cretaceous and early Tertiary when these continents were still joined as part of the supercontinent Gondwana (Hoare 2000). Myrtaceae is also an old Gondwanan family, with a long history in southern continents (Johnson & Briggs 1984). Most of the taxonomic work on the Nepticulidae has dealt adults but not the larval stages. Although Hoare (2000) described the larva of Roscidotoga, it is not possible to compare larval data because of the lack of larval studies of the type species of Simplimorpha and any species in Myrtinepticula. Previously, Roscidotoga was believed to be a sister-group to Pectinivalva Scoble (van Nieukerken et al. 2011; Hoare & van Nieukerken 2013; Doorenweerd et al. 2016). It is obvious that the male and female genitalia of Roscidotoga (Figs. 3, 4, 9, 10, 15–17, 22, 23, 29–33, 41–44) and Pectinivalva (Figs. 130–159) have no characters in common, except for the ground plan characters of Nepticulidae. Seven synapomorphies of Roscidotoga + Pectinivalva listed by Hoare (2000), mainly on interpretations of the wing venation and details of morphology of immature stages, are problematic. Therefore, we cannot adopt the sister-relationship concept or the hypothesized Pectivalvinae (Scoble 1983, Hoare & van Nieukerken 2013). There is no description of the subfamily Pectinivalvinae with well-defined characters. The monophyly of the expanded Pectinivalvinae (Pectinivalva + Roscidotoga) was also questioned earlier (Puplesis & Diškus 2003). These problematic issues regarding Pectinivalva have broadly hindered the consistency of ranking within the general framework of the generic composition of the Nepticulidae and the need for easy differentiation and/or diagnostics of the global Nepticulidae. In 2013, Pectinivalva was divided into three subgenera: Pectivalva Scoble, Casanovula Hoare, and Menurella Hoare (Hoare & van Nieukerken 2013), each of which was elevated to a genus rank later (van Nieukerken et al. 2016a). In our work, taxa that share apomorphic characters, are regarded as being closely related. For practical reasons, genera should be well-distinguishable based on characters. Pectinivalva, Casanovula and Menurella exhibit no substantial differences (Figs. 130–159), include so-called intermediate species, and are distributed in generally the same region (Australia and adjacent areas, including Borneo), with probably the same time of their origin (see Doorenweerd et al. 2016). The close relationship of Pectinivalva, Casanovula and Menurella is further reinforced by the shared host-plant family (Myrtaceae). Eucalyptus L'Hér. is a host-plant genus for at least some, if not all species, of these three Nepticulidae taxa. With a few exceptions, related taxa of Nepticulidae feed on host plants that are themselves related. We appreciate that this could make them at least subgenera, but it seems that the differences in external characters (like a forewing pattern) are not enough. Small differences in wing venation could be a result of independent reduction in these tiny moths (on the other hand, the venation characters are difficult to apply and/or use in every-day species diagnostic practice), and differences in the remaining morphology are so small for the taxa even to be called subgenera. It is interesting to note that in the molecular phylogenetic tree there is no obvious support for taxonomic status of these three genera, except as informal species groups as was admitted by Hoare & van Nieukerken (2013). An expanded molecular study would be particularly worthwhile. Therefore, because of the distinct similarity and difficulty to diagnose, all three previously erected genera now are merged into Pectinivalva Scoble (sensu lato) (Figs. 130–159). Subgenera allow us to convey more information about the characters and relationships of species within a genus. In van Nieukerken et al. (2016a), subgeneric ranks were abandoned and subgenera were elevated to genera, except for Levarchama Beirne, because the previous classification system (van Nieukerken 1986) was not supported by molecular treatments, particularly in the case of artificial conglomerates such as Ectoedemia Busck, sensu lato (van Nieukerken et al. 2016a).Published as part of Stonis, Jonas R., Diškus, Arūnas, Remeikis, Andrius & Solis, M.
