Authors: Setiawan Heru
Published: May 2019

This research examines and discovers the variation and formation of slang in the street food court (angkringan) of the Perpek community, Ponorogo Regency, which is indicated by a variant of the slang language. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. The research data is in the form of words from languages that contain slang forms and are spoken by sellers and buyers. Data collection uses observation techniques supported by note-taking techniques. The data analysis technique used is the equivalent method and the method of religion. The findings of this research are four processes of the formation of slang language in terms of the formation of phonological structures, namely: (1) reversing the overall arrangement of letters, for example "mahal" to "laham", (2) giving an insert at the beginning and at the end both vowels and consonants, for example "kopi" becomes "ngikop", (3) exchanges consonants and replaces one or two letters, for example "sedikit" becomes "sikit", and (4) words are shortened or cut without changing their meanings, for example "mama cantik" to be "macan". The results of the research findings indicate the formation of new slang languages that are different from the original languages, both from Indonesian and regional languages (Javanese). Penelitian ini mengkaji dan menemukan variasi dan pembentukan bahasa slang di angkringan komunitas Perpek, Kabupaten Ponorogo, yang terindikasi ditemuakan varian bahasa slang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode diskriptif kualitatif. Data penelitian berupa kata dari bahasa yang mengandung bentuk bahasa slang dan dituturkan oleh penjual dan pembeli. Pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik observasi yang didukung dengan teknik simak-libat-catat. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah metode padan dan metode agih. Dari penelitian ini diperoleh temuan berupa empat proses pembentukan variasi bahasa slang dari segi pembentukan struktur fonologis, yaitu: (1) membalikkan susunan huruf secara keseluruhan, misal "mahal" menjadi "laham", (2) memberikan sisipan di awal dan di akhir kata, baik vokal maupun konsonan, misal "kopi" menjadi "ngikop", (3) menukar konsonan dan mengganti satu atau dua huruf,  misal "sedikit" menjadi "sikit", dan (4) kata dipendekkan atau dipotong tanpa mengubah maknanya, misal "mama cantik" menjadi "macan". Hasil temuan penelitian menunjukkan adanya pembentukan bahasa slang baru yang berbeda dari bahasa aslinya, baik dari bahasa Indonesia maupun bahasa daerah (bahasa Jawa).

Published: May 2019

The constructs values, significance of work and motivation represent key aspects to be considered in the career of any professional. In this study, the researchers’ interest was focused on detention officers working in prisons in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Chiefly, the study aimed to investigate the prison officers’ values, motivation, significance of work based on their viewpoints. The study had 137 participants, of which 36 were female officers and 101 male officers. The methodological design of this research characterizes it as an applied, cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative survey. The instruments for data collection were the following: a sociodemographic questionnaire developed by the researchers for characterization of the sample; the Work Values Scale (WVS), validated in Brazil by Porto and Tamayo (2003), and the Inventory of Work Motivation and Meaning (IWMM), validated in Brazil by Borges and Alves Filho (2003). For data analysis, resources of descriptive statistics were used. Thus, this study took up the challenge of being a dialectical approach to the phenomenon in focus, based on the conception of work in a prison setting. The results show that to achieve professional stability, earn fair economic rewards and take up responsibilities are aspects of vital importance for the majority of the prison officers. The significance of work is directly associated with personal and family survival and the responsibility that they have both in the work and family contexts. Their motivation is associated with security and dignity. The main work-related aspect valued by prison officers is stability and the less important is prestige. At the end of the process of researching and producing knowledge, it is important to emphasize that important aspects about the prison officers’ work relations emerged, an activity that is intertwined by social stigmas that can affect all their living environments.

Published: May 2019

This article deals with different strategies for group development in a virtual learning environment (VLE). For this purpose, we sought to investigate the organization and social interactions of students, during group dynamics that occurred in a distance education course. The methodology used in the research was qualitative and quantitative, with descriptive approach, classified as a case study. For data collection, we used the VLE ROODA communication tools (Forum, Contacts and Social Map), the environmental sociometry tool (Social Map), as well as participant observation and questionnaires. Thus, we analyzed the application of three group-formation strategies: random, chosen by the teacher and free choice. Interaction data categorization occurred within the virtual learning environment and was accomplished through the group development stages suggested by McClure. This study allowed us to determine that all three strategies are efficient for distance education, as long as the right time in class for the application of the strategy by the teacher is observed. This study aimed to elucidate the importance of using group work in distance education, especially for integrating students and enabling a greater number of social interactions in the virtual environment. Thus, the results confirm that the use of formation strategies can be effective for Distance Education, since the development of collective activities depends on cohesion and the mediation of conflicts between members of the group.
New SCAMPERS
Authors: Tsai Ling Long
Published: May 2019

It has long been known that the SCAMPER checklist is a useful tool for developing creative thinking. However, the meanings of some words might change based on the different interpretations of the users. Here we aimed to reorganize this model to avoid placing different thinking directions into the same category. We designed a new checklist, including Substitute, Combine, Adjust, Modify, Permute, Eliminate, Repurpose, and Size, and renamed it NEW SCAMPERS. Using a questionnaire, we tested the participants’ understanding of the checklist’s meanings and its application. We recruited 194 students from three campuses and analyzed 191 completed answers. We found that students can comprehend the new classified category, and most do well on the application inspection. Thus, the new checklist was proven to be an appropriate technique for group creative thinking.

Published: May 2019

Objectives: To compare the dynamic postural stability indices (DPSI) from two different landing protocols with normalized jump distance (NDP) and jump height (RWDP) and footwear conditions (barefoot and shod).Design: Cross-sectional.Setting: Research laboratory.Participants: Twenty-five physically active adults (13 males/12 females, age: 22.1±4.2yrs, height: 178.3±11.1cm, weight: 75.6±19.4kg).Main Outcome Measures: Subjects jumped off two feet and landed with their preferred foot on a force-plate. From the ground reaction forces, the DPSI scores in the anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and vertical directions, and the cumulative scores (DPSI) were calculated under two protocols and footwear conditions. Based on normality of data distribution, paired t-tests/Wilcoxon signed rank tests and Pearson/Spearman correlation coefficients were used to compare, and measure the relationship between the two protocols under two footwear conditions (p<0.05).Results: There were mixed results for DPSI scores when comparing the two protocols. There were significant differences (p=0.001–0.039) and positive correlations (r=0.660–0.870, p<0.001) on the DPSI scores between footwear conditions during the NDP protocol while the RWDP showed no significant differences.Conclusions: Different protocols and footwear conditions may impact DPSI scores. Therefore, a standardized protocol and footwear condition should be established for future studies examining dynamic postural stability.
Intellectual Property in the Brazilian Agricultural Sector
Authors: Alves Marcia Brito Nery , Paixão Ana Eleonora Almeida
Published: May 2019

Intellectual property is a legal device that guarantees the individual or legal entity the protection of their creations, be they products or processes, covering copyright, industrial property and sui generis protection, modality in which the plant variety property rights are included. In this sense, this paper analyzes the intellectual property rights in the Brazilian agricultural sector, through a case study of the Inter-University Network for the Development of the Sugar-Energy Sector (RIDESA), by raising data related to research, development and protection of sugarcane cultivars, designated by the prefix Republic of Brazil (RB). In order to do so, a brief historiography of the evolution of legislation on the subject, the conditions and consequences of Brazil's adherence to international agreements such as “Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights” (TRIPS) and the convention of “International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants” (UPOV), as well as, a survey about the emergence and role of RIDESA as a collaborative innovation network was also carried out. As a result, it was possible to conclude that the issue of intellectual property rights on cultivars is multidimensional and suggest the need for creation of functional and consolidated models of knowledge management in collaborative innovation network. Among the elements and factors constituting the crisis in the Brazilian sugar-energy sector, mainly on the basis of the varietal census for the states of the northeast region (especially the state of Alagoas), it was possible to point the importance of RIDESA in the context of overcoming crisis of the sugar-energy sector through innovation.

Published: May 2019

This document aims to identify the factors of the ethical formation of directors in educational organizations by analyzing the practices and kind of values promoted in the moral issues decision during their managerial work.

The educational research has found that there is a close relationship between an efficient management and the manager’s leadership. An organization lingers through time due to the ethical principles scheme it has for the development of its management and leadership. Leadership does not only comprise technical and political competencies, but also ethical ones.

The approach of this work is the one of the analysis of the challenges found in the crucial actions in the managers’ decision making process, and how these moral situations affect the quality of the managers’ work. This research uses the qualitative methodology, which includes case studies, interviews of experts and former directors, and the analysis and interpretation of ethical factors involved in the solution of moral conflicts.

Some moral dilemmas or conflicts found are: Loyalty to the institution or the boss, following up the norm or the personal interests, loyalty to the institutional mission or to the political group, co-workers selection, fair treatment for the different stakeholders of the educational community, and other training elements for facing such conflicts, as: Development of moral convictions, accountability and co-accountability, learning from other leaders and voices and communication establishment.
GENDER, DECOLONISATION, EDUCATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF GENDER RELATIONS BY LUCY WAIRIMU KIBERA
Authors: Kibera Lucy Wairimu
Published: May 2019

An examination of literature on gender inequality has revealed that most women are disadvantaged in education as they constitute two thirds of the 750 million illiterates in the world. In addition, only one third of women have studied Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects that lead to financially rewarding careers compared to social-science related subjects that are studied by most women. Women are also underrepresented in research and development and professional ranks at university with 28.8 and 25 percent respectively. Women are further marginalized in terms of land ownership at 20% and in labour market at 48.5 percent compared to males with 75 percent. In addition, women earn less by 23 percent for a similar job performed by men. Women’s work mainly involves domestic work which is unpaid for. On the whole, women work nearly one hour longer than men since those who work for paid employment have to combine it with domestic work. In addition, only 11 and 12 women are heads of states and governments respectively out of 190 nations globally while only 22.8 percent of all national parliamentarians are women. Finally, health of women is endangered because they are not in charge of their reproductive health. Generally, girls and women are prone to sexual harassment and physical violence at 38 percent. In decolonising and degendering the gender divide and inequalities, social institutions such as the family, school and government must embrace new belief systems that give equal opportunities to women and men to develop their potentials to the fullest for self-development, fulfilment and determination and the benefit of the whole society.
Effectiveness of laboratory practical for Students’ Learning
Authors: Kandamby G.W.T.C.
Published: May 2019

Modules relating to engineering disciplines mostly comprise laboratory hands on practical in order to demonstrate the application of theory in practice. Guided sheet is usually followed by the instructor while carrying out the practical and students are allowed to work as a team by following the instructions. Since it is a common practice in almost all engineering laboratories, students’ learning was investigated using two soil experiments in civil engineering technological programme in 2018. Interviews were conducted to search what students learn from the practical by recalling learned materials from sample of students after completion of the practical and the method adopted by the instructors were collected through the questionnaire. Analysis based on recalling learning showed that students remember observable aspects of practical task such as identification of apparatus and the testing procedure within one year but it does not assist them to learn theory and calculations though it has been totally covered during the practical lesson. It is noted that students highly involved in doing practical in laboratory rather than attending theory and calculation. Students’ active involvement in learning before the commencement of practical with the assistance of the instructor, observing physical outcomes while doing and searching additional information at the end through internet have showed better results. Preset process is found partially effective and learning on theory and calculation need to be improved to make the process success. Keywords: Laboratory practical, students’ learning, recalling learning, effectiveness,

Published: May 2019

Visual impairment in childhood has implications in all aspects of the child’s development. It posses educational, occupational and social challenges, with affected children being at risk of behavioral, psychological difficulties, impaired self-esteem and poor social integration. Moreover, visual problems are an important contribution to poor school performance. Visual problems are known to deteriorate and become visual impairments if they are not identified and treated early. Despite this realization, high risk learners in primary schools remain unnoticed, undiagnosed and do not benefit from special education services and interventions. The purpose of this study was to document challenges that teachers in public primary schools experienced in identifying and assisting children with visual problems. Utilizing a descriptive survey design, a study involving 36 teachers was conducted in 12 public primary schools in Central Kenya. Questionnaires and observation schedules were used. The study established the major challenges faced by teachers in identifying learners with visual problems as:  lack of knowledge and skills in special education and visual screening as well as lack of school visual screening programs. Strategies suggested to address the challenges included special education training and special education seminars for teachers and introduction of school visual screening programs for all the learners.
reflection on Human Rights in the Amazon and the anthropological Other
Authors: Fernandes Estevão Rafael
Published: May 2019

How to realize universal rights in local realities? In order to answer this question, oneself make use of reflections on the anthropological "Other" as a way to deconstruct both speaking and ontological places, as well as the political and epistemological consequences of working human rights in different sociocultural contexts. One conclusion is that the very notion of humanism must be deconstructed. It reflects a system of values that is intended to be universal, taking local cultures as mere contingencies; as well as it takes its place as static, not as process, normalizing practices and domesticating specificities. It also shifts the deviants to the accepted matrix, imposing its own forms of construction of the subject; functions as a historical power device, relegating the alterities to "others," functioning as an instrument of social regulation; is based on the center / periphery dichotomy, reifying it.

Only sustainable practices make it possible to guarantee the existence and usufruct of natural resources for coming generations. Certain Brazilian companies were classified in 2016 as the most sustainable companies in the cosmetics sector, according to the Exame sustainability guide; the objective of this study was to describe the sustainability activities that they implemented. The deductive method and qualitative approach were adopted, with reading and data analysis of the companies classified in the ranking of Revista EXAME in 2016. Research of an exploratory and descriptive character was used to organize, describe and compare the sustainable practices of the companies. The attitudes in the companies were perceived to involve awareness but some restriction in the steps of sustainable practices and beliefs, with some way still to go, since not all the companies are normally aware of the importance of these practices, and they often intend merely to respect the laws and environmental rules, not taking into account the fact that the environment should be respected. The results obtained confirm that the continuous sustainable actions developed by Natura, Avon and Grupo Boticário are essential and such activities contribute to the renovation, preservation, and conservation of natural resources, which should serve as a reflection and alert not only for other companies but also for society as a whole.

Authors: Nazarov Ilhamiddin Ikramovich , Dhiraj Naeem Suleman
Published: May 2019

Human beings are naturally inclined towards safeguarding and protecting themselves from future misfortunes. This natural tendency of risk mitigation has given rise to the concept of insurance which existed thousands of years ago and was fervently practiced by many ancient tribes. Over time, the concept of insurance has changed since it is now being commercialized and have been transformed into a profit-oriented business. To revive the legacy of the real concept of insurance, the takāful (Islamic insurance) scheme was introduced in the second half of the 20th century differentiating itself from conventional insurance practices. The takāful scheme is strictly based on Islamic law known as Shari'ah. This paper thus expounds on the concept of takāful assimilating a holistic overview of this emerging industry while sorting the differences between the takāful scheme and the conventional insurance mechanisms. It concludes that the takāful (Islamic insurance) scheme is a robustly viable and sustainable alternative to conventional insurance.

O ENSINO QUÍMICA SOB A PERSPECTIVA DE PROFESSORES INICIANTES: DILEMAS E CONFLITOS
Authors: Araújo Jéssica Mayara Vieira de , Silva Isla Marcolino da , Santos Keliana Dantas
Published: May 2019

O ingresso do professor na vida profissional caracteriza, efetivamente, o início da docência, pois, neste período, o professor iniciante passa a ter contato com o contexto escolar, vive situações reais de ensino, tenta ambientar-se à cultura escolar vigente, luta para fazer parte do corpo profissional da escola e assume a responsabilidade pelo processo educativo de uma ou várias classes de estudantes. É uma fase de adaptações e a experiência nova é sempre difícil e desconcertante, a expressão - “choque de realidade”-, difundida, por Veenman (1988) que é utilizada por vários autores para representar as dificuldades iniciais dos professores principiantes. Neste contexto, este trabalho tem como questão central investigar as vivências, os conflitos e a relação com os saberes de professores e professoras de química em início de carreira, que lecionam ou lecionaram no ensino médio em escolas públicas da cidade de João Pessoa – PB. Esta pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa. Trata-se de um estudo de caso de cunho etnográfico - um tipo de pesquisa que surgiu recentemente na literatura educacional. Com relação as dificuldades encontradas na realidade escolar, as docentes em suas falas demonstraram certa preocupação em como ensinar química, como mudar a concepção negativa que os estudantes têm a despeito da disciplina Química, postura diante dos estudantes e algumas dificuldades advindas do Estágio Obrigatório executado de forma incoerente. De acordo com os dilemas e conflitos relatados nesta pesquisa, é possível concluir que o “choque de realidade” citado por diversos autores em seus estudos ainda se faz presente nos dias atuais. Choque causado por uma dificuldade em relacionar prática e teoria estudada durante a graduação e lidar com a realidade escolar, como um número relativamente alto de turmas, de alunos e um estágio obrigatório sem orientação adequada.
Addressing student diversity and integrative learning in an undergraduate medical curriculum
Authors: Chipamaunga Shalote , Prozesky Detlef
Published: May 2019

IntroductionSouth African universities are increasingly enrolling students from a variety of educational backgrounds. This brings in diversity in levels of language and learning ability and universities face the challenge of adjusting their curricula to meet the academic needs of the different learners. The objective of this paper is to document the experiences of students and teachers on a course that was introduced to address student diversity and integrative learning in a higher institution of learning.Methods The course was evaluated through two ways. Firstly, a student feedback questionnaire was administered to 250 students at the end of the first and second semesters during the first two years of introduction of the course. Secondly, students’ reflections were extracted from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions during the 4th and 5th years of implementation of the course. ResultsDue to the diversity in entry level learning and language skills, some units of the course were not rated favourably by about 50% of the students who struggled to see the relevance. However, many students’ experiences with the value of the course in enabling integrative learning were positive. Some students reported that they acquired lifelong skills in critical thinking and problem solving. Conclusion This paper demonstrates that a course that focusses on helping students to integrate learning is invaluable. Further research is required on the types of strategies and how to implement them to meet the varied needs of students from diverse backgrounds.

Published: May 2019

Background: Hepatic steatosis is among the most common causes of chronic liver diseases, although established effective treatments are not evident.  Previous studies reported that Kurozu improved hypercholesterolemia and carbohydrate metabolism. However, the effect of Kurozu on the incidence of hepatic steatosis is not clear.Objective: The effect of Kurozu on the onset of hepatic steatosis by administering a high-fat diet (HFD) for 110 weeks was evaluated in C57BL/6J mice. Methods: HFD treatment for 110 weeks accelerated the onset of hepatic steatosis more than a standard diet, whereas concentrated Kurozu (CK) supplementation ameliorated the effect of an HFD feeding. The effect of supplementation with resveratrol in an HFD on the onset of hepatic steatosis was also evaluated. To elucidate the mechanism of the effect of Kurozu on the expression of lipid metabolism genes, acute treatment for 10 days with Kurozu was also examined.Results: Supplementation with resveratrol in HFD-fed mice did not ameliorate hepatic steatosis. Body weights were significantly lower in the CK + HFD and Resveratrol + HFD groups than in the control HFD group in middle age. No significant differences in all-cause mortality were observed following supplementation with CK or resveratrol. CK and resveratrol supplements significantly inhibited decreases in dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate serum levels at postnatal week 120. CK and resveratrol supplements did not affect the survival of mice. The ingestion of Kurozu for 10 days significantly elevated the expression levels of Sirt1, Pgc-1α, Lpin1, and Igfbp1 in the liver. Conclusion: These results suggest that ingesting CK may delay the onset of hepatic steatosis HFD feeding causes.Keywords: Kurozu, steatosis, Sirt1, Igfbp1, Lpin1, Pgc-1α, resveratrol

Authors: Noble Dr. Sruthy , J. Dr. Nisha K. , Batra Dr. Parichaya , Padmanabhan Dr. Shyam
Published: May 2019

Background: The goal of the present study was to compare the efficacy of two piezoelectric scalers with hand instrumentation in calculus removal, loss of tooth substance and roughness created on root surface.

Methods: 90 freshly extracted non-carious, non-restored single rooted teeth with hopeless periodontal prognosis were included in the study. They were divided into three groups of 30 teeth each i.e. Group 1,Group 2 and Group 3 where instrumentation was done using two piezoelectric scalers- Piezoelectric scaler A & Piezoelectric scaler B and Gracey curette respectively. Specimens were subjected to Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) & Profilometric analysis to evaluate the root surface roughness created by these three instruments.

Results: Statistically significant difference was observed in Remaining calculus index (RCI) in the three experimental groups with hand instrument being least effective in removing calculus when compared to the piezoelectric scalers(p≤0.05). There was significant difference in mean Loss of tooth substance index(LTSI) and Roughness loss of tooth substance index (RLTSI) scores when compared in the three groups (p value =0.002). Both SEM and profilometric analysis showed that Piezoelectric scaler A and Piezoelectric scaler B caused less root surface roughness compared to hand instruments.

Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggest that scaling and root planing using both piezoelectric scalers and hand instruments were effective in mechanical debridement of the root surface. However, piezoelectric instruments gave smoother root surface than hand instruments and were also more efficient in calculus removal.

Resumo-: Este artigo é um recorte da revisão de literatura de um projeto de pesquisa de mestrado que propomos analisar através de um estudo de caso de prática de Educação Musical: o Programa de Musicalização implantado na Rede de ensino do Fundamental I numa determinada escola da Região do vale do Paraíba. A Lei 11.769/08 alterado o artigo 26 em maio de 2016 pela Lei 13.278, estende por mais 5 anos o prazo para que os sistemas de ensino garantam a adequada formação dos professores licenciados em música e em número suficiente para atuar nas escolas públicas. Apresentamos preliminarmente toda a legislação que diz respeito ao ensino de música nas escolas públicas brasileiras em que buscamos entender a concepção da lei dentro do contexto histórico do Brasil, o papel do ensino da música e a formação dos professores de música. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como básica, qualitativa e exploratória. Recorremos ao processo analítico, à triangulação para analisar os dados na legislação, incorporado a um governo e da formação do professor de música. Identificamos que cada governo fomentava um aspecto da educação musical dentro das escolas e por um grande período a partir da década de 70, o ensino de música não foi considerado necessário no ensino público até 2008. Por consequência hoje os professores licenciados para atuarem com a música são raros, reforçando a extinção e a falta de reconhecimento como sendo uma das linguagens da Arte essencial para o desenvolvimento humano desde a infância dentro de um processo de ensino orientado.
SOCIOLOGIA DA EDUCAÇÃO NO BRASIL ENTRE OS ANOS 1930 E 1980: contextos e convergências
Authors: Lessa Rodrigo
Published: May 2019

Entre a publicação do Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova, em 1932, passando pela renovação científica de 1950-60, quando se aprofundaram os debates sobre a importância do caráter científico e empírico das pesquisas em educação, até o período de avaliação das reformas realizadas pelos governos militares entre os anos 1970 e 1980, uma série de observações, análises e soluções distintas para os problemas sociais da educação brasileira. O caráter universal da educação, sua problematização como um processo social e a avaliação crítica do papel da educação nas relações de dominação da sociedade capitalista perpassaram a produção de autores como Fernando Azevedo, Florestan Fernandes, Antônio Cândido, Bárbara Freitag e Luiz Antônio Cunha. Neste estudo, procuramos retomar aspectos da produção sociológica sobre o tema da educação no Brasil, pontuando alguns dos principais autores que, em contextos diferentes, convergiram suas reflexões para os possíveis caminhos e transformações que a educação brasileira viveu durante o século XX.

Legal policy against fisheries offenders is basically directed at the accountability of fisheries offenders (illegal fishing). The impact of illegal fishing causes a deterioration in the national economy and increasing social problems in the Indonesian fisheries community. The Republic of Indonesia Law Number. 45 of 2009 concerning amendments to the Republic of Indonesia Law Number. 31 of 2004 concerning Fisheries has regulated criminal acts (offenses) in the field of fisheries which are divided into 2 categories, namely the category of violations and crimes. The effectiveness of law enforcement is still lacking because there are still a number of obstacles, including the substance, structural, supporting infrastructure, the community and the culture of the community itself. The Indonesian government has made efforts to minimize these obstacles through several strategies in order to eradicate the practice of illegal fishing in Indonesian waters

Today there are many perpetrators of crimes committed by minors. Such a thing has been proven because there has been a Juvenile Justice specifically dealing with child cases. In this case, the Judge in deciding a case carried out by minors rarely sees the rights of children as perpetrators of crimes, the Judge actually imposes criminal sanctions in accordance with the actions carried out by the child and often detained by law enforcement officers. This is the case, there is no listed children's rights as perpetrators of criminal acts in Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection. Even though children are criminals, they should receive the same treatment as other children. The reason for the emergence of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection is to provide guarantees for the fulfillment of their rights without discrimination and violence, especially sexual violence. Then the implication if a regulation on the rights of children is held as a criminal offender in Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendment to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection is to protect children in the face of the law from the arbitrariness of law enforcement officials and the child remains get a decent education so that they can change the character of him who was evil to be better than the previous one. then the policy on the formulation of future criminal law relating to children's rights as perpetrators of criminal acts in Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection is a need to regulate the rights of children as perpetrators of crimes in order to realize children smart kids
Exploring Reader-Generated Language to Describe Multicultural Literature

How do readers describe multicultural fiction works? While in library and information science (LIS) we have the language of appeal factorsand genre trendsto describe works of fiction, these linguistic choices may not be used by readers to describe their own responses and reactions to works that provide cultural affirmation of one’s own culture or exposure to learning different cultures. In this research, text mining processes are employed to harvest reader-generated book reviews and subsequently analyze the words readers use to describe award-winning multicultural fiction on the retailer site Amazon.com. Our goal with this study is to provide LIS professionals an insight into readers’ perspectives related to multicultural fiction. We describe our methodology of engaging in topic modeling as described by Jockers and Mimno (2013) as applied to multicultural fiction reviews. First, we explore the construction and processing of a corpus of reader reviews of multicultural fiction titles, then we model topics using a topic modeling toolkit to generate topics from these reviews. Through this analysis, we determine consistent terms used to describe multicultural fiction that can be used to indicate common reader experience and identify topics. Closing discussion reflects on whether librarians can use text mining of reader reviews to enhance their reader advisory services for readers seeking books that represent multiple and/or diverse cultures.
