Confiscation of Corrupted Assets by Means of in Rem Approach against Illicit Enrichment
Get PDFThe dynamics of corruption crime is closely related to the economic development of any State. In those developing countries – including Indonesia – corruption practices have become so massive and offensive, whereas on the other side the efforts to recover those stolen assets by means of criminalizing corruption is not easily carried out. Those corruptors have extraordinary access that are so difficult to detect, both in their actions to hide those stolen assets and in performing money laundering of their corruption crime. The eradication of corruption crime is not solely depends on the penalization of those actors, but on how such State loss can be recovered maximally. Accordingly, corruption eradication must be conducted by means of extraordinary measures and by relying on extraordinary legal instruments. One out of those instruments is special regulation, which enable the confiscation of assets owned by public officials that belong to illicit enrichment. Legal instruments to be applied surely related to the legal politic of the State, namely the model of corruption eradication and recovery of State finance. The model that is applied at the present focuses more on in rem approach which lays stress on the confiscation of corrupted gains. Such model is known as Non-Conviction Base (NCB) Asset Forfeiture or Civil Forfeiture. It applies against the cases of illicit enrichment. The UNCAC 2003 allowed the confiscation of stolen assets in case a public official unable to explain the source of his or her assets increase in relation to his or her lawful income. The Indonesian legal system regarding enforcement against corruption crime still be based on the in persona concept. Meanwhile, serving the interest to recover the State financial loss due to corruption crime, a paradigm shift is required, namely the in rem approach. Such approach enable the control of illicit enrichment by means of the Report on Public Officials Assets (LMKPB) and the application of assets tracing principle.

PENGECUALIAN ASAS LEGALITAS DALAM HUKUM PIDANA
Get PDFDebating for exceptional of legality principle in criminal law could be learned by establishing of the International Criminal Tribunal for The Farmer Yugoslavia (ICTY) which was based on United Nation‟s Resolution in 1993, No. 827 and The International Criminal Tribunal for the Rwanda (ICTR) which was based on United Nation‟s Resolution in 1994, No. 955. Even though these tribunals were rejected by the parties who supported the dependents, they still to cross-examine those cases, even though it was against the principle of nullum crimen sine lege as retroactive principe in criminal law.

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
