Arrangements regarding to the area of ??immigration set in Part Five, Article 22 paragraph (1) of Immigration Law determined that: In every Immigration Checkpoints assigned a specific area to immigration inspection is the area of ??immigration. The existence of the immigration area reflects the immigration service quality standards in a country. As an international area marked by yellow line (yellow line), the area of ??immigration has a position that is as important as the sovereignty of a country. Normatively, immigration area which available in each Immigration Check Point is the place and area that was authorized by the Ministry  and has a legal status (legal standing) and legitimate in law. So that the existence of the immigration area is a representation of authority and sovereignty. But immigration area is less effective because of the legal instruments governing inadequate and also people have not been aware of law so that there are many violations happens in the immigration area.
PERTANGGUNGJAWABAN PIDANA TERHADAP PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA PENYELUNDUPAN MANUSIA (PEOPLE SMUGGLING)
Authors: Mahardhika Martha I Dewa Agung Gede
Published: August 2017

Penyelundupan manusia merupakan salah satu bentuk kejahatan transnasional terorganisasi yang menimbulkan permasalahan di berbagai belahan dunia, termasuk Indonesia yang dimanfaatkan sebagai negara transit oleh pelaku penyelundupan manusia. Untuk menanggulangi  kejahatan ini, Indonesia membentuk Undang-Undang No. 6 Tahun 2011 tentang Keimigrasian. Metode penelitian hukum yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif, sebab terdapat kekosongan  norma terkait dengan pengaturan pertanggungjawaban pidana yang dilakukan oleh organisasi. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang menjadikan Indonesia sebagai negara tujuan transit serta mengetahui pertanggungjawaban pidana pelaku penyelundupan manusia menurut hukum positif Indonesia.  Sulitnya pengawasan terhadap  wilayah kepulauan Indonesia yang sangat luas, letak Indonesia yang sangat strategis, lemahnya instrumen hukum nasional yang ada serta adanya oknum pejabat yang berperan dalam kegiatan ini menempatkan Indonesia sebagai negara favorit untuk transit.  Di samping itu, pertanggungjawaban pidana terhadap pelaku yang relatif ringan sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Keimigrasian juga mengakibatkan kejahatan ini berkembang menjadi bisnis yang menguntungkan di Indonesia.

Published: August 2017

Este trabalho teve como propósito avaliar um aquecedor solar de baixo custo para que pudesse servir como método alternativo na obtenção de água quente nas torneiras e chuveiros das residências e ainda reduzir custos com energia elétrica. Diferente do aquecedor convencional de cobre e vidro, o aquecedor solar de baixo custo tem seu sistema basicamente inteiro de PVC o que o torna financeiramente mais viável e sua instalação muito mais econômica, chegando a ser até 5 vezes mais barata. Contudo, durante 1 (um) ano observou-se o comportamento deste e de vários coletores quanto à eficiência de absorção solar e geração de água quente para a Região Noroeste do Estado de São Paulo. De iní­cio, com base em estudos anteriores, foi desenvolvido um protótipo e coletada diversas medidas da temperatura da água. Assim pode-se deduzir um máximo rendimento para o material, PVC, já que em elevada temperatura poderia levá-lo a uma possí­vel deformação, e, até não aquecer a água na temperatura adequada caso houvesse pouca absorção de radiação solar. Os dados coletados serviram para dimensionar o sistema coletor/reservatório, e assim foram coletados valores de inclinação, temperatura e armazenamento de água aproximados do rendimento máximo. Após os dimensionamentos e a coleta de novos dados, constatou-se um ótimo rendimento do sistema, que alcançou ganho médio de 14°C, com coletor operando com inclinação de 30°, concluindo sua viabilidade na região devido à alta incidência de radiação solar.

Size Matters: A Consideration of the Canadian “Shoebox Musical"
Authors: Lee SG
Published: August 2017

Is the Canadian "shoebox musical" best seen as Broadway's poor country cousin or as Canadian drama's illegitimate sibling? This paper will consider the place of the "shoebox musical" with its small cast, few musicians and modest production requirements as a Canadian sub-genre in the larger tradition of the musical theatre. Beginning with an overview of the historical economic, artistic and social conditions that have encouraged, or perhaps forced, Canadian musical theatre artists to produce musicals on a scale almost unimaginable to the Broadway sensibility, the paper goes on to examine the ways in which working within that box has shaped the plays created. From Billy Bishop Goes to War to My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding, a great many Canadian musicals have been made with a simplicity of style and absence of conspicuous consumption that may be merely a result of the material constraints under which they were created, a diminution of the creators' grand artistic visions, or may in fact be a theatrical reflection of a Canadian ethos or perhaps an uncomfortable balance of the tension between the two forces. Drawing on personal experience as a playwright and artistic director and interviews with other playwrights and producers, along with popular and critical writing, the author makes a case for the “shoebox musical” as a distinctly Canadian contribution to the world of musical theatre as well as a legitimate contribution to Canadian drama.
Why Canadians Can't Write Musicals
Authors: Betts Jim
Published: August 2017

The Canadian Musical Theatre community may include talented writers, directors and producers, but it does not exist in a properly functioning professional environment. In some respects, the Canadian Musical Theatre is closer to an "oral tradition" than a 21st Century art form. The community lacks leadership, focus, and resources. There is a significant need for effective training programs and realistic, well-supported development opportunities. The history of the Canadian Musical Theatre has some similarities to the history of the American Musical Theatre, but its development may lag about 50 years behind.

The student arrives a few minutes early. She is a little out of breath, as it has been quite a dash across town in heavy traffic from school. But she has made it for 4:30 and has a moment or two to collect her thoughts before going in to see her advisor. She has completed the requisite eight courses that are required before she starts on her major paper, including one course on research methods and one on educational statistics. She has an A- average and is quietly confident that she can do what is needed and proceed next June to graduate with an M.Ed. degree. She is the first member of her family to have earned any kind of university degree, and this additional qualification will be greeted with a lot of respect, even awe, by her relatives. All she ever wanted to be was a good primary teacher, and she is that, but the M.Ed. will be the icing on the cake.

Nous situons les limites des interventions qui s’y réfèrent en démontrant la variabilité des fondements épistémologiques qui les orientent et leur impact spécifique sur la conception du rapport de l’enfant aux systèmes dans lesquels il transite. Nous terminons en identifiant les obstacles au développement d’une intervention de réseau, de nature écosystémique, fondée sur une lecture constructiviste du développement, notamment dans la structure même des curriculums préscolaires ainsi que dans la lecture que les intervenants font de la compétence de l’enfant de mséf ainsi que de celle de sa famille.
Supporting Children with Learning Disabilities
Authors: K. McNamara John
Published: August 2017

This paper presents a prevention model for supporting children with learning disabilities. The model holds that children can be identified as at-risk for learning disabilities by identifying and supporting potential academic failure early in their elementary years. A prevention model includes two elements, identification and instruction. Identification entails recognizing those children at-risk for poor achievement in the early primary grades. The second component of the model is to implement a program of effective instruction that focuses on the explicit teaching of phonological processing skills and eventually, teaching these skills in context. Early effective instruction will create an environment that enables children with learning disabilities to experience success. Early success for children who may be at-risk for many years of struggle and frustration cannot be underestimated. Enabling success at an early age creates a positive cycle where efficacy and motivation is fostered in turn alleviating the academic and psychosocial stresses and challenges often associated with learning disabilities.

Computer Networks and Globalization
Authors: Martinovic D. , Magliaro J.
Published: August 2017

Communication and information computer networks connect the world in ways that make globalization more natural and inequity more subtle. As educators, we look at these phenomena holistically analyzing them from the realist’s view, thus exploring tensions, (in) equity and (in)justice, and from the idealist’s view, thus embracing connectivity, convergence and development of a collective consciousness. In an increasingly market- driven world we find examples of openness and human generosity that are based on networks, specifically the Internet. After addressing open movements in publishing, software industry and education, we describe the possibility of a dialectic equilibrium between globalization and indigenousness in view of ecologically designed future smart networks
Internationalization at Canadian Universities: Where are we Now?
Authors: Weber Linda
Published: August 2017

Internationalization is powerfully impacting the missions, planning documents, and learning environments of Canadian universities. Internationalization within Canadian universities is viewed from a local as well as global context. Accounts of the composition of domestic students studying abroad and international students studying in Canada, and the implications of these statistics, are related. Emphasis is given to a discussion of the contribution that economic factors play in internationalization decisions. Economic factors have undeniably shaped the face of internationalization at Canadian universities. Complexities of the relationship between global context and educational goals are outlined and educators are challenged to responsibly interpret and implement university changes resulting from internationalization while prioritizing the learning needs of students.
Quality Education and the Marketplace: An Exploration of Neoliberalism and its Impact on Higher Education
Authors: Frake Mandy
Published: August 2017

This paper is an in attempt to open discussion about the impact of globalization and theories of neoliberalism on higher education. More specifically, viewing higher education institutions as a market place, where the more a product costs, the greater supply and quality of the product should be received; the quality of education received by university students should also reflect this. Considering the conflict between teaching and research in higher education, quality of education becomes questionable. This paper explores issues of neoliberalism resulting in a greater demand for the completion of research in higher education institutions. Furthermore, the imperialism of higher education leading towards the demand for more research, the teaching versus research nexus within universities, and discussion of how these theories impact international students will be examined throughout this paper
A Longitudinal Exploration of the Academic and Psychosocial Outcomes of Students with Emotional/Behavioural Difficulties: The Importance of Student Perceptions of Themselves, Their Peer Relationships, and Their Classrooms
Authors: Whitley Jessica , P. Rawana Edward , Brownlee Keith , Rawana Jennine
Published: August 2017

Students with emotional/behavioural difficulties (E/BD) continue to experience poor academic and psychosocial outcomes. Developing a better understanding of the ways in which indicators of these outcomes develop while students are still in early grades can assist in planning effective programming and alter negative trajectories. Accordingly, the present study sought to explore the perceptions of students with and without E/BD regarding their self-concept, classroom climate, and academic achievement over the course of one school year. The participants consisted of 68 elementary-aged students attending two schools in Northwestern Ontario. A repeated measures ANOVA was conducted and a number of significant differences were found both between groups and over time. Specifically, students in the E/BD group experienced poorer functioning compared to students without E/BD at most time points. Patterns of change in psychosocial and academic variables were largely similar across groups. Discussions of these findings, as well as implications for practice and for future research are presented. Keywords: Emotional/behavioural difficulties; self-concept; academic achievement
Colour-Blind: Discursive Repertoires Teachers Used to Story Racism and Aboriginality in Urban Prairie Schools
Authors: McCreary Tyler
Published: August 2017

This qualitative study explores how teachers' constructions of racism consistently minimized its pervasiveness in the school. Teachers constructed racism as individual not systemic, construed it as a phenomenon of places outside the school, and attributed responsibility for addressing racism to other people, particularly Aboriginal populations. Based on written responses from 95 Canadian Prairie teachers from two schools, this research examines the discourses teachers employed to narrate racism, particularly with relation to Aboriginal students. While there were some differences between inner city and suburban teachers, teachers from both environments followed discursive repertoires that absolved themselves of responsibility for addressing racism and maintained the colour-blind image of education. Interrogating these discursive repertoires exposes the systems of denial that block meaningful action upon racialized inequalities and prevent the development of a truly inclusive educational environment. This underlines the need for expanded anti-racist professional development to support critical racial reflexivity among in-service teachers.Keywords: racism in education; critical whiteness studies; in-service teachers; Aboriginal education

Loose Coupling and Inhabited Institutions: Inclusion Policy and Teacher Strategies
Authors: Deroche Christina
Published: August 2017

This case study uses interviews and participant observation to study how teachers negotiate inclusion policy in their everyday classroom interactions and strategies. Interviews consisted of two teachers and an educational assistant from one Northern Ontario classroom while participant observation was conducted for a period of seven weeks. Drawing from the framework of loose coupling and inhabited institution, this study finds that teachers actively negotiate policy in the face of classroom reality by drawing upon personal and social resources. Drawing from their previous experiences and some of their educational training they create, and implement strategies in dealing with learning diversity. Teachers felt enthusiastic about inclusion but their ideas ranged as to what it looked like; on top of their creativity in strategy making they also expressed the need for more resources and support to ensure the success of inclusion within their classrooms.

Published: August 2017

Starting on an academic journey can be a stressful and isolating experience. Although some universities have formal mentoring structures to facilitate this transition for new faculty, these structures do not always provide the variety of supports that may be needed to navigate the complexities of transitioning to the world of academia. As we (the authors of this paper) began our academic journeys, we found ourselves searching for support that was not available within our institutions. By drawing on previous connections and building new connections to peers at other universities, we created an informal peer mentoring structure that has continued to support us through the early years of our careers in academia. In this paper we share our stories of the challenges we faced as early career academics, discuss the ways this informal peer mentoring community provided support for us at the beginnings of our academic journeys, and offer advice for other early career academics seeking non-traditional forms of support along the academic career path.

A Tool to Assess and Compare Knowledge Mobilization Efforts of Faculties of Education, Research Brokering Organizations, Ministries of Education, and School Districts
Authors: Cooper Amanda
Published: August 2017

There are few tools that exist to measure knowledge mobilization (KMb), the process of connecting research to policy and practice, across diverse organizations and sectors.  This article reports on a comparison of KMb efforts of 105 educational organizations: faculties of education (N = 21), intermediary organizations (N = 44), school districts (N = 14), and ministries of education (N = 26).  This study used an instrument that analyzed KMb efforts along two dimensions -- (1) research dissemination strategies (products, events, and networks) and (2) research use indicators (different types of indicators, ease of use, accessibility, collaboration, and mission) – using data available on organizational websites.  Findings:  Intermediaries and faculties of education are producing stronger efforts in relation to knowledge mobilization than school districts and ministries of education; however, even faculties and intermediaries generally have modest efforts.  Most KMb efforts are product based, with network strategies usually being the weakest KMb strategy utilized.
How Early Childhood Learning Influences Beginning Literacy Teachers’ Professional Learning
Authors: McGlynn-Stewart Monica
Published: August 2017

Research has shown that teachers’ beliefs and personal experiences play a significant role in their professional decision-making and practice, including their experiences as school children. This research study examined how the professional learning of Canadian beginning elementary teachers was influenced by their own early learning experiences in school. Six teachers were observed and interviewed in their classrooms 5 times over the first 3 years of their teaching career. Case studies were developed for each teacher and themes were explored across cases. The findings from this study suggest that pre-service and in-service teacher education programs need to provide teachers with opportunities to critically examine how their early learning experiences influence their professional learning experiences and priorities.

At the heart of this paper is a collaboratively created script representing a line of analysis from the Reimagining Parenting Possibilities Project. The script is performed as a forum theatre scene used to disseminate findings from this ongoing research project. Forum theatre, an exemplar of Augusto Boal’s “theatre of the oppressed,” invites audience members into a scene, inventing through embodied performance and improvisation analyses and interventions in shared social dilemmas (Boal, 2006). The project rests upon our joint investments in exploring how the denial and containment of parenthood for people labeled with intellectual and developmental disabilities stems from enduring ableist views as to who is deemed “fit” to raise future citizens, and related efforts to erase disability. We introduce this work with a prologue – offering context for the ableist dynamic and intimate injustices that unfold in the scene. We also provide some background on how we developed the scene, attending to the democratizing and transformative potential of our methodology. Finally, by way of an epilogue, we sketch a number of questions about the scene’s potential to promote intimate and disability justice.

Hegemony and Counter-Hegemony in a Global Field
Authors: Carroll William
Published: August 2017

Social justice struggles are often framed around competing hegemonic and counter-hegemonic projects. This article compares several organizations of global civil society that have helped shape or have emerged within the changing political-economic landscape of neoliberal globalization, either as purveyors of ruling perspectives or as anti-systemic popular forums and activist groups. It interprets the dialectical relation between the two sides as a complex war of position to win new political space by assembling transnational historic blocs around divergent social visions – the one centered on a logic of replication and passive revolution, the other centred on a logic of prefiguration and transformation. It presents a sociological analysis of the organizational forms and practical challenges that their respective hegemonic and counter-hegemonic projects entail.
Rethinking the Secular in Feminist Marriage Debates
Authors: Jaarsma Ada S.
Published: August 2017

The religious right often aligns its patriarchal opposition to same-sex marriage with the defence of religious freedom. In this article, I identify resources for confronting such prejudicial religiosity by surveying two predominant feminist approaches to same-sex marriage that are often assumed to be at odds: discourse ethics and queer critical theory. This comparative analysis opens to view commitments that may not be fully recognizable from within either feminist framework: commitments to ideals of selfhood, to specific conceptions of justice, and to particular definitions of secularism. I conclude by examining the "postsecular" turn in feminism, suggesting that we can see the same-sex marriage debate not in terms of an impasse between differing feminist approaches, but in terms of shared existential and ethical affinities.
Property, Propriety and Democracy
Authors: Devenney Mark
Published: August 2017

The redefinition of rights of equality and liberty by radical and deliberative democrats during the last decades of the 20th century resulted in the denial that a consideration of property is integral to political philosophy. Theorizing property as intrinsically political demands a return to Marx but on terms he may not have recognized. I outline a politics of property in this paper contending that there can be no universal justification for any regime of property. Property is by definition the institution of a wrong. The articulation of something as property establishes a border, determining what can be owned, how far ownership extends, where it is limited, as well as terms of use and terms of abuse. It establishes a set of property relations, and defines a vocabulary of the proper. Here sovereign state power is enlisted to enforce relations of property beneficial to some, but not all. A challenge to any political regime must of necessity put in to question both the forms of proper behaviour, and the regime of property. These are intrinsically related to each other. I conclude by arguing that democracy is always improper. Property, in all of its forms entails enclosure. Enclosure requires the drawing and the maintenance of boundaries of exclusion and inclusion. The sovereign determination of the proper, as well as of the exception to the proper defines trespass. Trespass is a form of democratic enactment when, and if, it destabilises enclosure.
Jürgen Habermas and Bush’s Neoconservatives: Too Close for Comfort?
Authors: Matthies-Boon Vivienne
Published: August 2017

In his recent political writings, Habermas has opposed his cosmopolitan project to that of the Bushite neoconservatives.  However, this article argues that in some respects Habermas's works come closer to the neoconservative agenda than he realizes and that this poses a potential danger of its being appropriated by precisely the camp he opposes.  These problems particularly come to the fore in his analysis of Islamic fundamentalism, democracy and the Middle East, but also in his recommendations concerning UN-based internationalism and his appeals to Woodrow Wilson.  By tracking these problematic areas in Habermas's work, this article argues that Habermas needs to engage in a more carefully articulated, concrete and empirical analysis if he is to avoid these problems.
The Dilemma of Democracy: Collusion and the State of Exception
Authors: McGovern Mark
Published: August 2017

In what sense might the authoritarian practices and suspension of legal norms as means to combat the supposed threat of “terrorism,” within and by contemporary western democratic states, be understood as a problem of and not for democracy? That question lies at the heart of this article. It will be explored through the theoretical frame offered in the work of Giorgio Agamben on the state of exception and the example of British state collusion in non-state violence in the North of Ireland. The North of Ireland provides a particularly illuminating case study to explore how the state of exception—the suspension of law and of legal norms and the exercise of arbitrary decision—has increasingly become a paradigm of contemporary governance. In so doing it brings into question not only the traditional conceptualization of the “democratic dilemma” of liberal democratic states “confronting terrorism” but also challenge dominant paradigms of transitional justice that generally fail to problematize the liberal democratic order. After outlining Agamben’s understanding of the state of exception the article will chart the development of “exceptional measures” and the creation of a permanent state of emergency in the North, before critically exploring the role of collusion as an aspect of counter-insurgency during the recent conflict. The paper will argue that the normalization of exceptional measures, combined with the need to delimit the explicitness of constitutional provision for the same, provided a context for the emergence of collusion as a paradigm case for the increasing replication of colonial practices into the core activity of the contemporary democratic state.
Uncovering Recovery: The Resistible Rise of Recovery and Resilience
Authors: Harper David , Speed Ewen
Published: August 2017

Discourses of recovery and resilience have risen to positions of dominance in the mental health field. Models of recovery and resilience enjoy purchase, in both policy and practice, across a range of settings from self-described psychiatric survivors through to mental health charities through to statutory mental health service providers. Despite this ubiquity, there is confusion about what recovery means. In this article we problematize notions of recovery and resilience, and consider what, if anything, should be recovered from these concepts. We focus on three key issues, i) individualization, ii) the persistence of a deficit model, and iii) collective approaches to recovery. Through documentary analysis we consider these issues across third sector organizations, and public and mental health policy. Firstly, definitional debates about recovery reflect wider ideological debates about the nature of mental health. The vagueness of these concepts and implicit assumptions inherent in dominant recovery and resilience discourses render them problematic because they individualize what are social problems. Secondly, these discourses, despite being seen as inherently liberatory are conceptually dependent on a notion of deficit in that talk of “positives” and “strengths” requires the existence of “negatives” and “weaknesses” for these concepts to make sense.  We argue that this does little to substantially transform dominant understandings of psychological distress. Thirdly, these issues combine to impact upon the progressive potential of recovery. It comes to be seen as an individualistic experiential narrative accompaniment to medical understandings where the structural causes of distress are obscured. This in turn impacts upon the potential for recovery to be used to explore more collective, political aspects of emotional distress. Drawing on the work of Fraser, we use this critique to characterize “recovery” as a “struggle for recognition,” founded on a model of identity politics which displaces and marginalizes the need for social, political and economic redistribution to address many of the underlying causes of emotional distress. We conclude by stating that it is only when the collective, structural experiences of inequality and injustice are explicitly linked to processes of emotional distress that recovery will be possible.
