Die hierfür notwendigen Anforderungen hat der AK 2.6 in verschiedenen Positionspapieren und NAMUR-Empfehlungen veröffentlicht und mit Herstellern und Organisationen diskutiert. Dabei werden sowohl bevorzugte Topologien, Kommunikationsprotokolle, Geräteintegration sowie die zukünftigen Anforderungen an die Anwendung von APL-Geräten in der Funktionalen Sicherheit betrachtet.
Instagram Influencers as Superwomen: Influencers’ Lifestyle Presentations Observed Through Framing Analysis
Authors: Devos Sarah , Eggermont Steven , Vandenbosch Laura
Published: February 2022

Female Instagram influencers presumably manipulate their online presentations to conform to the “superwoman ideal” (i.e., the idea that women have to excel in multiple roles). Knowledge of how they build such presentations is important to understand how young women’s perception of the superwoman ideal might be affected by social media. As such, the current content analytical study (N = 1,200 posts, 60 influencers) examined how female health and beauty influencers present themselves in accordance with the superwoman ideal and whether such presentations vary by culture (i.e., the US, Belgium, and China). Inductive framing analysis revealed that they highlight their excellence in six roles, which focus on appearance, relationships, activities, achievements, wisdom, and expertise. Additional multilevel analyses suggested that besides beauty, it is most important to be perceived as an exciting and experienced individual. These roles are generalizable across cultures, implying that the superwoman ideal is presented identically worldwide.

Published: February 2022

The article reflects the author’s approach to the construction and development of environmental management systems at Ukrainian enterprises in order to modernize. This will provide an opportunity to implement the principles of the global green course and ensure a stable competitive position in the markets. The main problems of environmental pollution are considered. It is determined that the biggest polluters traditionally remain transport, industry, energy and agriculture. The ecological efficiency of entrepreneurial activity in Ukraine is analyzed. It is noted that low environmental efficiency is associated with declining economic growth, deindustrialization, inefficient government innovation policy. The foreign experience of ecological modernization of enterprises is investigated. It was revealed that the state plays an active role in this process, and the projects of energy modernization, development of alternative transport infrastructure, renewable energy sources, public transport network are financed previously. It is believed that a comprehensive approach with the support of the state has allowed European companies to reduce energy consumption, reduce the impact on the environment and ensure the formation of a climate-friendly environment. The authors propose a number of measures that will promote the active environmental modernization of domestic enterprises, including the development of environmental policy to prevent negative impacts on the environment. The further activity of the enterprise will promote maintenance of steady ecological and economic effect at the expense of rational use of raw materials, natural resources.

Published: February 2022

The article considers the phenomenon of social journalism in Ukraine. In particular, it substantiates its importance and necessity as an original activity in journalism. The objective of the study is to generalize the available experience of classification of social journalism in Ukraine and to compare it with the foreign ones; to analyze the applied activity of a social journalist through the prism of peculiarities of his/her work with respondents and media coverage of urgent social issues based on the obtained results. The methods of comparison and synthesis were used. The method of comparison is used for comparing the current state of social journalism in Ukraine with foreign samples. The method of synthesis highlighted the categorical features of media materials in social journalism. The functioning of social journalism and professional standards involved in providing this kind of information to the public are considered. The peculiarities of the social journalist’s work with respondents and coverage of social problems in the media were analyzed on the example of materials of BBC News Ukraine related to the topic “exchange of ATO prisoners of war” in January 2018.
The effects of career plateauing on work and non-work outcomes
Authors:   , Godshalk Veronica Maria , Greenhaus Jeffrey H
Published: February 2022

This study offers new definitions and empirical evidence for the types of career plateaus individuals experience and the reasons attributed for being plateaued. The definition of career plateau is refined by identifying the phenomenon of plateauing as the low likelihood of future increases in responsibility in either the current job or future job opportunities. Structureal plateauing is defined as the end of promotions, while content plateauing is defined as the end of expected increases in responsibility associated with the current job. More importantly, the study empirically confirms the existence of reasons why individuals believe they have plateaued. They may be negatively assessed by management, and thereby be plateaued for organizational assessment reasons. Or there may be constraints on the organization that do not allow employees increased responsibilities, which creates plateaued employees for organizational constraint reasons. Or the employee may simply not want any additional responsibilities, and may choose for personal reasons to be plateaued. The results of data gathered from 330 accountants suggest that the reason one attributes for one's plateau differentially affects his or her level of felt stress and job involvement. External reasons for career plateaus create more felt stress and lower job involvement than when individuals choose to be plateaued. Felt stress negatively affected both work and non-work variables. Job involvement positively affected work variables. An indirect relationship was found between those who were content plateaued for organizational assessment and constraint reasons and off-job involvement. When content plateaued for these reasons, individuals report low levels of job involvement, and in turn, higher levels of off-job involvement. This suggests an inverse relationship exists between work and non-work variables, and supports the compensatory hypothesis. This study incorporated new off-job involvement and off-job satisfaction measures. Both new scales were found to be highly reliable and results suggest a strong positive relationship between off-job involvement and off-job satisfaction. This research has added to the work-family literature by developing a scale that incorporates the complex nature of the non-work domain. Researchers and practitioners must understand the potentially devastating effects the reasons for career plateauing may have in the work and non-work domains.
Transforming growth factor beta and oncogenes c-myc and Bmi-1 contribute to the malignant transformation of intermediary basal epithelial cells of the prostate
Authors:   , Goodyear Shaun Michael , Stearns Mark E.
Published: February 2022

Unraveling the etiology of prostate cancer development requires a crucial understanding of the factors controlling normal prostate growth and development. Isaacs and Coffey postulated that the basal layer consist of a stem-like cell that is the progenitor of all epithelial cell types in the prostate. It is now known that differentiating transit-amplifying cells give rise to heterogenous cell populations which migrate into the luminal layer from the basal layer (i.e. intermediate basal cells or IBCs), but there is limited data on the changing epithelial cell phenotypes during differentiation. The work presented here characterized intermediary basal cells isolated and cultured in our lab. In Chapter 2, we examined the CD133+ TIC sub-population and demonstrated a requirement of c-myc for both anchorage-independent growth in vitro and in vivo. In Chapter 4, we examined the TGF[beta] pathway ability to regulate the VEGFR3 signaling axis. Our results demonstrated that TGF[beta]-mediated disruption of cell-cell junction promoted membrane surface of VEGFR3, and together the two pathways functioned in synergy to promote cell migration and invasion. In Chapter 5 we examined the impact altered Bmi-1 expression has on the induction of an EMT phenotype and subsequent cell migration. We found that Bmi-1 expression is required for the acquisition of an EMT phenotype and that forced expression of Bmi-1 greatly increases the invasive capacity of the intermediary basal cells examined here. All together, the work presented here demonstrate that IBCs provide a suitable model to examine molecular pathways that contribute to prostate tumorigenesis, and further characterization of the properties of IBCs will advance our understanding of changes in cell phenotype associated with the transitions towards malignancy.
Service Robots Have Entered the Game
Authors:   , Ye Hongjun , Suri Rajneesh , Ayaz Hasan
Published: February 2022

Research and practice in Human-Robot-Interaction often focus on improving the human-likeness of the robots. Developers often place their focus on how to make robots more human-like, aesthetically (e.g., facial features), functionally (e.g., finger movements), or both. However, these types of improvements can be costly. Through a series of studies, in the first essay, I find that customers may not perceive humanoid robots to be superior to other self-service technology products (SSTs) such as kiosks. Additionally, customers expectation of service performance by humanoid robots is guided by their past experiences with SSTs. In the second essay, I propose that to enhance the evaluation of service robots, providers will need to increase the perceived liveliness of the robots. To assess this prediction, in addition to traditional methods (e.g., surveys), I employ a multi-modal approach that measures perceptions, behavioral reactions, and neuro-physiological responses to a lively humanoid robot.
The Two Faces of Narcissistic Leaders
Authors:   , Choi Jae Young , Resick Christian
Published: February 2022

Previous research has produced inconsistent findings on whether narcissism is beneficial or detrimental for leader success. While narcissistic leaders are sometimes perceived as unique and charming, they often fail to develop and maintain social, interpersonal relationships with their employees. Do narcissistic traits aid or derail leadership effectiveness is a question that largely remains unanswered. The study aims to disentangle the relationship between leader narcissism and leadership effectiveness. I postulated that the reason for the inconsistent finding is three-fold. First, prior leadership research has treated narcissism as a unitary construct, overlooking the potential for differential effect among its facets. Second, leader narcissistic traits are expressed as responses to trait-relevant cues provided by subordinate's behaviors toward the leader. Third, leader behaviors are more proximal to effectiveness outcomes than leader traits and, thus, would be more predictive of leadership effectiveness. In this study, I draw on the narcissistic admiration and rivalry concept, trait activation theory, and the integrated model of leader traits, behaviors, and effectiveness to address those three reasons. I proposed that the interaction effect of leader narcissistic admiration and employee ingratiation is positively related to leader individualized supportive behavior. In contrast, the interaction effect of leader narcissistic rivalry and employee challenge voice is positively related to leader authoritarian behavior. Furthermore, I proposed that those leader behaviors are differently related to leadership effectiveness and mediate the conditional effects of narcissistic admiration and rivalry on leadership effectiveness. To test the hypothesized relationship, I conducted a two-wave study with a sample of 98 employees and their 31 leaders from three firms in South Korea. This study builds on prior theoretical and empirical work on leader narcissism to identify and test the dualistic nature of leader narcissism and the differential effects of narcissistic admiration and rivalry on leadership effectiveness. Furthermore, this study probes deeper into the leader narcissism-leadership effectiveness relationship by suggesting the underlying mechanism of leader behavior moderated by employee behavior toward the leader. Implications for theory and practice are discussed, along with limitations and directions for future research.
Utilization of computer Artificial Intelligence in the design of small molecule-based immunoinhibitors of PD-L1
Authors:   , Averona John P. , Ji Haifeng
Published: February 2022

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide with around 9.5 million recorded deaths in 2018 alone. Prevention and treatment processes are the key for a therapeutic intervention. Despite all the advances in cancer treatment, shortcomings in immunotherapy exist, specifically towards small molecule based immunoinhibitors for the PD-1/PDL-1 pathway. To date, an anti-cancer medication has not been created. Previously, monoclonal antibodies and macromolecules have demonstrated better efficacy towards PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition, thus treating infection through immune response. Additionally, both monoclonal antibodies and macromolecules have shown to be non-cytotoxic26. While these previous innovations have improved patient outcomes, small molecule inhibitors have not been able to replicate the same results. In this study, the utilization of computer artificial intelligence (A. I.) in the design of small molecule based immunoinhibitors was investigated. Creation of a python script-based pipeline was used with molecular docking data performed with Autodock Vina to convert docked ligands into fragmented variations based upon protein-ligand interactions. Additional docking calculations were performed utilizing Schrodinger™ Masetro in search of a small molecule inhibitor by way of a structure-based drug design approach. These investigations demonstrated the possibility of a new approach towards the drug design process. The potential for complete A. I. recognition and development of lead ligands would eliminate a large majority of current issues within the drug design process. Ultimately, A. I. is the future of drug design and ligand optimization.
The Impact of Socially Conscious Hedge Funds on the Behaviors of Portfolio Firms
Authors:   , Bae Jonghyuk , Chang Hsihui
Published: February 2022

This paper examines the impact of hedge funds' corporate social responsibility (CSR) preferences on the behaviors of their portfolio firms. Despite the growing interest in CSR issues among hedge funds, the question of whether hedge funds' CSR preferences influence the behaviors of their portfolio firms remains largely unanswered. In this study, I classify hedge funds based on their CSR preferences and find that, compared to funds that are not socially conscious, socially conscious funds are associated with improvements in the target firms' CSR performance using textual analysis. I also find that socially conscious funds are associated with improvements in the target firms' corporate governance and financial reporting quality. These findings contribute to the literature on hedge fund activism and are consistent with the notion that socially conscious funds enhance shareholder value for the target firms.
Understanding the role of the OGT/CDK5/ACSS2 signaling axis on breast cancer brain metastatic growth
Authors:   , Esquea Emily , Reginato Mauricio
Published: February 2022

Breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM) occur in almost 46% of triple negative breast cancer patients with a median survival of less than 5 months. Current efforts to treat BCBM are limited, and drugs used have proven effects on the primary tumors but lack specificity for the intracerebral tumor thus novel therapeutic targets are urgently needed. BCBM cells utilize acetate metabolism as an alternative fuel source to promote growth and survival via upregulation of Acetyl CoA Synthase 2 (ACSS2), the enzyme responsible for converting acetate into acetyl CoA. Previous work from our lab showed that primary brain cancers increase O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAc levels and regulate acetate metabolism via phosphorylation of ACSS2 by the Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 (CDK5). We have recently shown that OGT and O-GlcNAcylation levels are increased in BCBM cells compared to primary breast cancer cells and contain elevated levels of phosphorylated ACSS2. While the role of CDK5 is largely uncharacterized in cancer, elevated levels of CDK5 have been associated with poor prognosis in various cancers metastatic cancers including breast cancer. Here, we show that genetically targeting CDK5 in BCBM cells blocks ACSS2 phosphorylation and blocks breast cancer brain metastatic growth in vivo. Importantly, we show that pharmacologically targeting the OGT/CDK5/ACSS2 signaling axis in BCBM cells reduces tumor growth in vitro. Thus, the OGT/CDK5/ACSS2 signaling axis may represent a novel therapeutic target in treating breast cancer brain metastatic growth.
A Multiple Case Study of Geotagged Instagram Posts about Vaping
Authors:   , Kearney Matthew David , Massey Philip M
Published: February 2022

Geotagged Instagram posts about e-cigarettes are as yet an unregulated source of exposure to advertisements and other content that promote e-cigarette products and use. Despite an emerging consensus that social media posts about e-cigarettes influence attitudes and behaviors, it is unknown which specific communities (e.g., location, socio-demographics) are most likely to be exposed to e-cigarette social media content. We therefore conducted a mixed methods multiple case study to understand how the geospatial distribution of electronic vaping-related Instagram posts is associated with sociodemographic and other place-based population attributes. In 2018, publicly available Instagram posts about vaping were collected and analyzed from three geographic case studies: 1) City of Philadelphia; 2) State of Hawai'i; and 3) US States plus DC and Puerto Rico. Four research methods were integrated across the three case studies, including content analysis, regression modelling, network analysis, and geospatial analysis. We found that electronic cigarettes were rarely identified as tobacco products containing nicotine. Cannabis products were commonly promoted for use with vape devices. Across the US, we found correlations between geotagged content on Instagram and place-based social determinants of health like race, gender, education, income, and poverty. State policies and tobacco use behaviors were strong predictors of e-cigarette related posts. We highlight potential implications of exposure to pro-vaping content and recommend actionable insights for policy and prevention mechanisms that restrict social media promotional efforts for e-cigarette products at the local level, state level, and national level.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: Up to now, overweight and obesity have been described as risk factors for becoming infected, requiring hospitalization, and dying from COVID-19. However, the literature is not always consistent with these results. Objective: To evaluate the impact of BMI >25 kg/m2 on hospital admission to manage COVID-19 disease in patients belonging to a cardiovascular risk program in the city of Cali, Colombia, during the year 2020. Methods: Through an analytical observational study, the risk of requiring hospitalization due to SARS-CoV2 infection was evaluated in two cohorts of patients belonging to a cardiovascular risk program, including in the exposed group subjects with BMI >25 kg/m2. We calculated relative risk to assess the association between BMI and hospitalization by COVID-19, and the Mantel-Haenszel homogeneity test was used to evaluate possible confounding variables. Results: BMI >25 kg/m2 was found as a protective factor for hospital admission (RR: 0.5; 95% CI: 0.30-0.80), without identifying modification or confusion in the outcome due to other clinical variables such as age >60 years, male sex, hypertension, DM2 or central obesity. Conclusion: BMI >25 kg/m2 was found as a protective factor for hospital admission among adult patients belonging to a cardiovascular risk program, without identifying any modification or confusion in the outcome due to other clinical variables such as age >60 years, male sex, hypertension, DM2 or central obesity.

Authors: Dawson Charlotte , Heylin Claire
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the online learning offered by Dubai private schools in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This article considers both positive and negative features of provision, in order to suggest recommendations for future outbreaks. A comprehensive review of literature synthesizes with the results of an online survey. The period of March until July 2020 is referred to as Phase 1 of online learning. Phase 2 covers September and December 2020. The findings show that educators were generally positive toward online learning but have mixed opinions regarding the permanence, opportunities, and approaches of individual schools. Teachers discussed the progression of online learning within their settings and made multiple recommendations for the future including focusing on social–emotional development and well-being, limiting screen time where possible, ensuring Ed-Tech is appropriate for individual needs, and committing to an ongoing evaluation of curriculum adaptation. It was also suggested that schools review their approach to building technological skills, as well as the age in which this area of development is encouraged.

Published: February 2022

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Dongjui DJ-8602 urinary analyzer for reducing the number of unnecessary urine cultures in patients with suspected urinary tract infection (UTI).
Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective study performed in patients with suspected UTI from August 1, 2018 to December 1, 2018. Clinical data, C reactive protein, blood hematologic counts were evaluated. Using positive culture results as the gold standard, the cut-off values by the receiver operating characteristic curve technique, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated.
Results: The median values of urine leukocyte levels were 31 cells/high power field (HPF) in the culture-positive group and 5 leukocytes/HPF in the culture-negative group, respectively. The area under the curve for leukocyte and bacteria count were 0.753 (95% Cl, 0.642 to 0.862) and 0.581 (95% Cl, 0.438 to 0.725), respectively. A leukocyte count ≥ 2 cells/HPF, resulting the best sensitivity of 96.3% (95% Cl: 81.03% to 99.48%) and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 96.4% (95% Cl: 79.35% to 99.48%).
Conclusions: The use of the Dongjui DJ-8602 urinary sediment and chemistry analyzer did not accurately predict the outcome of urine cultures with an unsatisfactory sensitivity and NPVs of bacteria counts.

Planning is a function of management that needs to be done before the implementation of an activity, whether they are activities in organisations, institutions, schools or in learning. Improper lesson planning makes goal achievement not optimal. Therefore, this study aims to describe the learning planning of prose literature that affects character education. To achieve the objectives of this study, the research method used is quantitative methods. The data collection tool is a questionnaire distributed via online media to seventh-grade teachers of junior high school in Indonesia. The results of the research analysis show that F-value is calculated as 8,614.787 with a significant value of 0.001, which means it is smaller than 0.05, so the hypothesis is accepted with the simultaneous statement that learning planning management of prose literature (X) has a significant effect on the character education (Y) of grade VII students of a public junior high school in Indonesia, and it can be implemented. The implementation of prose literature learning planning will be carried out well if character education is integrated into the learning implementation planning component.

Macroeconomics and active methodologies in higher education: A possible pairing and a possible binomial
Authors: Alonso Asier Arcos , Garcia-Alvarez María , Azpuru Amaia Garcia
Published: February 2022

This article presents an experience of teaching innovation based on the application of active methodologies in economics and business education at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). The proposal builds on a competency teaching approach, whose objectives were to verify the effectiveness of these methodologies in the area of economics in order to reconnect the university with its social environment and enhance the competency and student-learning values. During the 2019–2020 academic year, a multidisciplinary process based on the Problem-Based Learning methodology was developed in the Introduction to Economics II: Principles of Macroeconomics course. Various teaching techniques were applied to encourage participation, autonomous student work, group work, as well as elements of social responsibility and values education. The results of the process collected quantitatively and qualitatively show improvements in the acquisition of knowledge by students and greater appropriation levels linked to greater motivation. However, reluctance and misgivings about the process also arose, which would require further work in class and a leading role by students. Greater planning, time and coordination requirements were also limiting factors for the teaching staff; however, the relevance of applying the methodology sequentially is suggested.

Manuel Galbán fue un periodista melillense muy vinculado a El Telegrama del Rif. Ejerciendo desde administrador hasta director, conoció los entresijos de esta publicación periódica, presenció todas las campañas de Marruecos y, en 1965, tras una larga digestión, publicó España en África. La pacificación de Marruecos. Su testimonio, que conjuga la experiencia de primera mano con la madurez de juicio, no ha merecido una excesiva atención historiográfica. Sin embargo, los comentarios vertidos sobre la campaña de 1909, a propósito de algunos aspectos jurídicos del Protectorado, los negocios de Abd-el-Krim, la relación entre Berenguer y Silvestre o las motivaciones de Juan Picasso, destacan por su singularidad y cobran particular relevancia cuando se cumple el primer centenario del desastre de Annual y del golpe de estado de Primo de Rivera. Al fin y al cabo, este gigantesco tropiezo militar contribuyó sobremanera a la definición de la casta africanista, así como a la gestación del golpe militar de 1923.

The growth of peri-urban areas is increasingly recognised as one of the dominant land use planning problems, with significance in the area of transport planning. This has necessitated the studying of travel behaviour in peri-urban areas in cities around the world. This study particularly examined the travel behaviour of households in the peri-urban areas of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. It used both primary and secondary data. The primary data were obtained through a field survey from the administration of questionnaires on household heads in the study area using a multi-stage sampling technique. Findings revealed that 21.5% of the variability in the travel behaviour among the respondents could be attributed to socioeconomic characteristics such as age, household size, and length of stay, the number of cars owned and monthly income of households. It is recommended that the socioeconomic characteristics of residents in peri-urban areas should be considered when making transport policies in the State.

Rapid urbanization has resulted in a slew of issues, including urban transportation, in most emerging countries' cities. Public transportation provides transportation for the community and plays an important role in the daily lives of the city's citizens, particularly the urban poor, by reducing travel costs and providing job opportunities. Thus, evaluating public bus service performance from the perspective of users is critical for identifying service operators' strengths and deficiencies. Consequently, the primary goal of this research is to determine the level of consumer satisfaction with public bus service in the city and identify the most important factors that influence satisfaction. Hence, a survey was carried out between December and January 2020. Stratified sampling approaches were used to obtain data from 500 travelers. Factor analysis and customer satisfaction index were used to analyze the data collected. Lastly, the findings show that users were quietly satisfied (0.54) with the quality of the bus services supplied in the city. Moreover, travelers were better satisfied with attributes that related to availability (0.64) and less satisfied with attributes under timeliness (0.50) and security (0.48). Therefore, service operators and other concerned stakeholders should give urgent attention to attributes under timeliness and security to enhance users’ satisfaction in the provision of bus service in the city.

Purpose – In recent researches, the concept of trust in a project process appears to be the one of the most significant elements. A project process involves numerous actors with often clashing interests difficult to adjust during cooperation, but the leading aim is common to all - an accomplished project. This empirical research analyzes two dimensions of trust, according to Rousseau’s dimensions of trust (calculus-based and relational-based trust), in a relationship with the satisfaction with a work relationship in a project process and project outcomes, success or failure, to try to explore its mutual correlation and its predictors influence on project outputs. Methodology – A questionnaire was delivered through Survey Monkey platform on 750 e-mail addresses in Croatia with a response rate of 13.2% (99 respondents). A correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze collected data. Findings – The results of an analysis revealed that trust is an essential factor in the project process, which leads to the satisfaction of players with the working relationships in a project process, and to the project’s success or failure. Further the results revealed that trust is perceived as a base operator in a project process. Trust deficit can point to significant issues even before the dawn of project process, so it is a prerequisite to bring together all targets, and clashed interests. Contribution – A trust in a project process is a complex construct which demands further debate, and this analysis is an attempt to add further scientific insight about the relevance of trust in a relationship among the participants, and at the same time provides an application design with the opportunity to foresee a behavior of stakeholders engaged in a process. A wise leader will gather on all components in an equation, trying to identify the most effective approach to carry out and execute the project with success.
THE CONCEPT OF LEGAL PLURALISM IN INDONESIA IN THE NEW SOCIAL MOVEMENT
Authors: Flambonita Suci
Published: February 2022

As a multicultural country, legal pluralism in Indonesia should be placed in the perspective of a new social movement, which lies as the abstraction of collective subjects to strive for emancipation. Experience has shown that many policies and political laws concerning natural resources do not provide enough room for the representation of indigenous peoples. As the new social movement in the context of multiculturalism, fighting for socioeconomic and natural resource redistribution is as important as providing spaces to foster cultural struggle in terms of fighting discrimination against indigenous peoples. In Dutch legal pluralism theory is termed as theorie van het rechtspluralisme. Lawrence M. Friedman has proposed a definition of legal pluralism as the presence of different legal systems and cultures in a single political community. This research uses the social legal method with a conceptual and historical approach. According to John Griffiths, legal pluralism is the presence of more than one legal rule in a social circle. Further, the concept of legal pluralism does not promote a dichotomy between state law on the one side and folk law and religious law on the other side.

Abstrak

Indonesia sebagai negara yang multikulturalisme hendaknya pluralisme hukum diletakkan dalam perspektif the new social movement yang bertumpu sebagai abstaksi subyek yang secara kolektif demi memperjuangkan emansipasi. Berdasarkan pengalaman, banyak kebijakan dan politik hukum atas sumber daya alam tidak memberi ruang representasi terhadap masyarakat hukum adat. Sebagai the new social movement dalam konteks multikulturisme tidak hanya penting dalam memperjuangkan redistribusi sosial ekonomi dan sumber daya alam, tetapi juga memberi ruang munculnya gerakkan untuk memperjuangkan cultural struggle (tantangan budaya) diskriminasi terhadap masyarakat hukum adat. Lawrence M. Friedman menyajikan pengertian pluralisme hukum yang berarti “adanya sistem-sistem atau kultur hukum yang berbeda dalam sebuah komunitas politik tunggal”. Metode penelitian menggunakan sosial legal dengan pendekatan konseptual dan sejarah. Pluralisme hukum oleh John Griffiths, diartikan bahwa hadirnya lebih dari satu aturan hukum dalam sebuah lingkaran sosial, Selanjutnya konsep pluralisme hukum tidak lagi mengedepankan dikotomi antara sistem hukum negara (state law) di satu sisi dengan sistem hukum rakyat (folk law) dan hukum agama (religious law) di sisi yang lain.
