Disriminative Policy of The Prohibition To Hold Land Ownership For Chinese -Indonesian In Yogyakarta
No full textChinese-Indonesians who live in Yogyakarta can no longer possess land ownership legally since the Instructions of the Head of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Number K.898 Year 1975 came into effect. Surprisingly, the discrimination finds its root even before the creation of the nation state of Indonesia. Dutch colonial government is the first authority to initiate such discriminative policy to attenuate Chinese, Arabs, and Indians economic influence in the region and monopolize economic assets above the land. This ethnocentric legal norm permeates and continues its influence in Yogyakarta until now. This paper demonstrates that the instruction as the legal basis in prohibiting Chinese-Indonesians to enjoy land ownership is discriminative. Thus, it is against the legal norms that are applicable in Indonesia. Indonesian legal system treats its citizen equally and does not endorse an ethno-nationalist view that discriminate particular ethnicities. In addition, this paper demonstrates that the instruction cannot be classified as a law, according to legal procedure in Indonesia, therefore renders it unlawful. Lastly, this paper also demonstrates that the instruction is ineffective to serve its purpose because there are many legal loopholes and practices that can avoid its provision
Sosialisasi Literasi Politik Bagi Pemilih Pemula Terhadap Konsep Demokrasi Dan Otoritarianisme
Get PDFDemocracy and authoritarianism represent two contrasting systems of governance. Since the Reform Era and the fall of President Soeharto’s New Order regime, public discourse in Indonesia has consistently focused on strengthening democratic values and preventing the resurgence of authoritarian practices. Despite the progress made, Indonesia is still regarded as a democracy in development, with several persistent issues undermining its democratic framework. These challenges include widespread corruption, the repression and criminalization of political opposition, limited judicial independence, socioeconomic disparities, and the exploitation of identity politics, issues that have continued into President Joko Widodo’s second term. In light of these concerns, this educational outreach program has been designed. It targets eleventh-grade students, who represent a group of first-time voters in the upcoming election. The goal is to provide these students with the critical skills needed to assess the policy platforms of electoral candidates. The program will be delivered through a combination of lectures, interactive discussions, and post-session assessments. The intended outcome is to enhance students’ awareness of the significance of democratic values, encourage resistance to authoritarian tendencies, and promote informed, principle-based voting behavior
Deconstructing the Privileged Status of Religion over the Status of Belief as the Root of Discrimination towards Kejawen Community
Get PDFThe Kejawen community, recognized as a belief system rather than a formal religion, faces systemic discrimination in Indonesia. This distinction underpins the country's recognition of its political and legal status, thereby impeding the rights of Indigenous practitioners, including Kejawen followers. Several factors contribute to this systemic discrimination: the Western conception of religion, the dichotomy between religion and belief enshrined in Article 29 of the 1945 Indonesian Constitution, the narrow definition of religion by the Indonesian Department of Religion, the association of indigenous beliefs with communism post-1965, and the application of blasphemy laws aimed at "purifying" religion while sidelining belief systems. This study aims to explore the discriminative dynamics against Kejawen within the binary framework of religion versus belief through qualitative research and critical discourse analysis. It seeks to uncover the ambiguity surrounding the concept of religion in Indonesia, drawing on a wide range of sources, including historical narratives, academic studies, relevant legislation, and judicial rulings. This research indicates a significant bias rooted in the differentiation between "religion" and "belief," primarily originating from Western perspectives on religion. This bias has led to the marginalization of Kejawen and other similar spiritual practices, which are often viewed as lesser compared to world religions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
