    This report examines the number of Indonesian extremist prisoners due for parole, the recidivism rate, and the dynamics in prison between the “pragmatists” and the “rejectionists” among extremist inmates.IntroductionMany convicted Indonesian terrorists will be released over the next several years after serving time in prison. The Indonesian government has little capacity at present to provide adequate post-release monitoring, although it is taking some steps to remedy this. Under the circumstances, how much of a security risk do these releases pose? The answer is probably not as much as some people fear; the recidivism rate for convicted extremists remains low. The problem is that systems are not yet in place to keep track of individuals who are considered potential problems.Any evaluation of risk must take several factors into account. One is the numbers involved. In early 2013, articles appeared in the regional media suggesting that 300 prisoners were due for release by the end of 2014. The National Anti-Terror Agency (Badan Nasional Penganggulangan Terorisme, BNPT) later stated the real figure was only 39. A more reasonable estimate is about 80 releases in 2013-2014, some of which have already taken place, with over 100 more in 2015- 2016. No one has exact data, however, and accurate predictions are close to impossible.A second factor is the prison experience of those scheduled for release. It is simply not possible to assess risk on the basis of the activities that led to their convictions. Some of the men that might have been judged most dangerous appear to have modified their views and behavior; others who might have seemed low risk have grown more militant because of associations made in prison. Which way an individual turns may depend less on government “deradicalisation” programs -- although interventions that provide status and income can help -- than on the nature and influence of fellow inmates and connections maintained on the outside. In general, senior JI leaders tend to exert a moderating influence, whereas those who follow radical preacher Aman Abdurrahman are likely to keep the level of militancy high.Other factors can also come into play, including the degree to which inmates can mix with ordinary criminal offenders. The problem of released prisoners does not relate just to those charged with terrorism but also to others they may have recruited. The largest cluster of repeat offenders among convicted extremists consists of men whose first offense had nothing to do with terrorism.The riot in Tanjung Gusta prison, Medan, on 11 July 2013 was a reminder that in thinking about scheduled releases, one should think of unscheduled ones, too, even if the number of terrorist escapes over the last decade has been remarkably low. Overcrowding, understaffing and the poor physical condition of many Indonesian prisons combine to produce escapes of ordinary criminals so frequently that it is a wonder that not more extremists make the attempt.To address these risks, improving the capacity of the Indonesian corrections system to analyse and respond to developments in prison is essential. It is also important for the government as a whole to recognize the need for improved post-release monitoring and allocate the necessary resources to put a better system in place.Managing convicted extremists goes to two much larger issues, however. One is overall prison reform: the government acknowledges that the prison system as a whole is in a state of crisis and the Corrections Directorate with the Law and Human Rights Ministry has been receptive to donor assistance in trying to address it.The second is the spread of extremist teachings in a way that generates new groups of young radicals convinced that violence is the way to address injustice, religious deviance and vice. Until the government does more to address this much more sensitive problem, the best monitoring program in the world will be of limited value

    No full text
    This research elucidates the thoughts on the fiqh of diversity by Zainuddin al-Malibari in the book Fatḥ al-Mu’īn, aiming to conceptually elaborate on Zainuddin al-Malibari's views on the fiqh of diversity and its relevance in fostering harmony in diversity in Indonesia. This research employs a historical approach through library research data. Data analysis involves both content analysis and comparative analysis. The fiqh of diversity elaborated through the concept of jihād by Zainuddin al-Malibari, understood broadly, not just as warfare but also as preaching, can serve as a fundamental value for fostering community harmony in Indonesia. It is essential in maintaining harmony among a society of different ethnicities, religions, and groups. Zainuddin al-Malibari's fiqh of diversity in the book Fatḥ al-Mu'īn emphasizes the importance of realizing the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah principle. Which aims to achieve essential benefits, namely the preservation of religious freedom (ḥifz al-dīn), the protection of every individual's life (ḥifz al-nafs), the safeguarding of the community's economic access (ḥifz al-māl), equal access to education for all members of society (ḥifz al-‘aql), and the protection of the rights of every family (ḥifz al-nasl)

    The Effect of Implementing the CoCoAER and Jigsaw Learning Models on Enhancing Students' Understanding of Concepts in Static Fluid

    No full text
    The increasing complexity of physics learning in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era demands innovative pedagogical strategies to address students’ conceptual difficulties, particularly in abstract topics like static fluid. Misconceptions about hydrostatic pressure remain prevalent due to traditional, non-contextual instructional approaches. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two cooperative learning models CoCoAER and Jigsaw in improving students’ conceptual understanding of static fluid and to examine students’ perceptions of both methods. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was applied to 90 eleventh-grade students at MAN 3 Banda Aceh, divided into CoCoAER, Jigsaw, and conventional lecture groups. Data were collected through pre-and post-tests and student response questionnaires. Results from ANOVA and N-Gain analysis indicated that the CoCoAER model significantly outperformed both the Jigsaw and lecture models (p &lt; 0.05), with 73.3% of students showing high improvement and an average post-test score of 86. Students' satisfaction also favored CoCoAER, with 96% indicating a “very satisfied” rating, compared to 50% and 40% for Jigsaw and conventional methods, respectively. The novelty of this study lies in applying the CoCoAER model to fluid dynamics, integrating contextual learning, collaboration, and error anticipation strategies. In conclusion, the CoCoAER model offers a highly effective and student-centered approach to teaching static fluid, contributing to the reduction of misconceptions and enhancing physics learning outcomes

    In urolithiasis or kidney stone disease, research and in clinical practice the highly specific and systematic analysis of urinary calculi is of great importance. The exact knowledge of the type of the stone is a precondition of any medical therapy for urinary calculus. Urolithiasis is a very frequent finding in the Kelantan, but stone analysis is not routinely performed in HUSM. Knowledge of the composition of calculi yields fundamental information concerning the pathogenesis of the disease, including metabolic abnormalities, presence of infection, possible artifacts, and even drug metabolism. Accurate high-quality urinary calculi analysis is an essential requirement for this approach to patient management, allowing possible causes to be defined, logical treatment strategies to be implemented and prevention of stone recurrence. Each method has merit in specific situations. Whereas a single method may not be adequate for all analyses, a combination of methods used in a complementary fashion may be relied on for accurate results. We therefore set out to analyze one hundred and fifty five samples of urinary calculi in HUSM using the modem physicochemical methods, X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray fluorescence which yield the best results in the differentiation of the constituents of urinary calculi. The objectives of this study are to determine the composition of urinary calculi in HUSM and correlate the urinary calculi composition using various techniques under physical methods. Apart from that, we would also like to determine the association of demographic features and location of the urinary stone formers. Last but not least, is to determine the agreement between these four methods. We study the results, the reliability of these methods and the important analytical tests for urinary calculi on identical stone material under routine conditions. Through accurate high-quality urinary calculi analysis, allowing logical treatment strategies to be implemented. This is an observational cross-sectional analytical study involves a total of one hundred and fifty five urinary stone formers in HUSM which were collected from January 2003 to December 2009. All stones removed from patients were placed in polyethylene dry bottles labeled with the name, identification number, hospital registration number, sex, age, date and ethnicity of the patient. The location of the stone and treatment were also recorded. Urinary calculi weighing more than 500mg were selected and prepared for the investigation. The specimens of urinary calculi were washed with distilled water, air-dried, finely ground and pressed into powder and divided into 4 samples and prepared for analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). All tests were performed at the Science Labs, School of Material and Mineral Resources Engineering, Engineering Campus USM Transkrian Penang

    Violation of labour rights in the ship-breaking yards of Bangladesh

    No full text
    Ship-breaking started as an industry in Bangladesh in the early 1970s. This industry is not technically organized, and the management is also primitive and unsound. Although specific information is not available, it is estimated that about 700 workers have been killed and, at the same time, a total of 10,000 workers have been injured in explosions at the ship-breaking yards over the last three decades. This process continues unabated in the absence of specific legislation for regulating ship-breaking industries in Bangladesh. Against this backdrop, this paper identifies the major issues relating to enforcement of labour rights in the ship-breaking yards of Bangladesh
