Effects of Road Construction in Nepal
Authors: Acharya Krishna Raj
Published: July 2022

It is widely accepted fact that rural roads have the most significant role in poverty reduction as they provide physical access to the rural population. Without the physical access, the rural population is being deprived from obtaining different services like health, education, drinking water, etc. In addition, lack of link between the rural areas and the market also creates the constraints on agricultural production and other economic activities. There is the knowledge gap as how the rural people can be benefited from the rural roads and what economic advantages are accessible from it. Thus this study is an attempt to explore how rural road helps in the creation of employment opportunities, reduction of input costs, increase in production and decrease in wastage and provide access to market and helps in poverty reduction. This study reveals that the rural road in the study area has significant impact on poverty reduction. From F-test, T-test, correlation as well as regression statistical analysis, it was concluded that there is significant relation of increase in income, reduction in time to market, occupation, and number of working age family members with the increase in savings. It can be claimed that this study has met its objectives of studying the impacts of rural road in poverty reduction.
Caste System in Medieval Nepal
Authors: Kafle Dol Raj
Published: July 2022

This article attempts to explore the functioning and dynamics of the caste system that prevailed in medieval Nepal from 879 to 1768 AD. Nepal is a country which has a rich diversity of castes, languages, religions, and cultures. On the one hand, it has long been a matter of pride for Nepal to host such a diverse society and on the other hand, this very diversity has espoused various critical interpretations, particularly when it comes to ethnicity and power relations. While the ancient traditions and culture of the country continue to shape the foundation of the present Nepali society, the influence of the medieval social and caste system is still present today. Irrespective of the socioeconomic implications of the caste system in the Nepali society, what the society practiced in medieval times in terms of different cases has a strong influence on the way Nepali society functions today. Although it cannot be said that the caste system is necessary and useful in all societies, there is evidence that the system was introduced by the kings and subjects of that time to make the medieval Nepali society systematic and dignified in their own ways. Of course, society is always fluid and should continue to change. However, the fact that the medieval caste system continues to survive in today’s Nepal. It is a strong proof that great change has not taken place yet in our society. The medieval caste system is becoming the basis of human identity even today. The co-existence of a diverse group of people in Nepali society has in both way nurtured the caste system by promoting the idea that diversity is good for society and its functioning. While there has been an effect of melting pot concept owing to urbanization and population growth in recent years, the fabric of Nepali society in the medieval period demonstrates a distinct caste system brought to operation from a utilitarian motive. This article aims to analyse this very distinct feature of Nepal’s medieval society wrought in the caste system in its crude form. The article not just explores the functioning of the caste system in medieval Nepali society but also exposes how it remains intact even today. This article uses descriptive and analytical methods. In course of writing, the arguments have been made based on secondary resources.
STRATEGI PEMASARAN IKAN PINDANG DAN LAYANG DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19 (STUDI KASUS : UMKM LIMA PUTRA SEJAHTERA, JAKARTA SELATAN
Authors:   Program Stuidi Agribisnis, Universitas Trilogi, Nadya Nadya
Published: July 2022

This study discusses the marketing strategy of pindang fish in the Lima Putra Sejahtera Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM), which is one of the MSMEs that processes and markets pindang fish which is in demand by the public because the selling value of the processed is affordable by the community. However, the Lima Putra Sejahtera MSMEs had problems related to marketing, including: (i) promotion was not optimal because it was still conventional, (ii) did not have an official digital store, (iii) the lack of MSMEs ability to collect market information, and (iv) the existence of a pandemic Covid-19 which made retailing even more difficult. The aims of this study were (i) to analyze the internal and external environmental factors that affect the marketing of pindang fish in the Lima Putra Sejahtera SMEs, (ii) identify the marketing strategies of pindang fish that have been implemented by the Lima Putra Sejahtera SMEs, and (iii) to formulate alternative strategies in marketing the products of the Five Putra Sejahtera UMKM to the fullest. Sampling in this study was used as purposive sampling method. The results of this study concluded that the most influential internal factor was the good quality of pindang fish. The external factor that influences was the affordable selling value of all levels of society. The results of the QSPM analysis concluded that the priority of alternative strategies that can be applied to the Lima Putra Sejahtera UMKM was to expand the marketing network of pindang fish.
Little Red Riding Hood and the Pedophile in Film: Freeway, Hard Candy and The Woodsman
Authors: Greenhill Pauline , Kohm Steven
Published: July 2022

“Little Red Riding Hood” is one of very few well-known fairy tales that have not come under what Jack Zipes calls “the Disney spell,” which has ossified and Americanized so many others. Creators using various artistic genres have thus felt free to rewrite and reconceptualize it. The three “Little Red Riding Hood” films that we discuss explore, as a significant theme, adult-child sexual relationships. We argue that the “Little Red Riding Hood” story offers filmmakers and viewers a metaphorical tool for understanding relations between pedophiles and their victims in novel ways, opening up the possibility of a shift in perspective on this issue.
Good Vampires Don’t Eat: Anorexic Logic in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Series
Authors: Dunn Emma
Published: July 2022

This paper argues that the convergence of post-feminist and Victorian values in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight novels perpetuate a logic of anorexia. Drawing on a selection of fan fiction in which young female authors rewrite Bella’s character as anorexic, this paper further argues that through fan fiction, young authors gain agency in making explicit the anorexic logic that is central to the canon texts and to mainstream girlhood as a whole; however, as each author negotiates her conflicting position as critic and subject of post-feminist culture, her narrative epitomizes the complex and contradictory nature of anorexic ideology itself.
Traumatic Geographies: Mapping the Violent Landscapes Driving YA Rape Survivors Indoors in Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak, Elizabeth Scott’s Living Dead Girl, and E. K. Johnston’s Exit, Pursued by a Bear
Authors: Moore Amber
Published: July 2022

The rape of the land and of women has long been connected in literature and across cultures (Phillips). Young Adult (YA) sexual assault narratives are growing increasingly popular, and the location of attacks in such stories is significant, such as when rape is depicted in nature, because, in reality, much sexual violence occurs in the private sphere (Kerber)—the home (Altrows). Using an ecofeminist lens and conceptions regarding the treatment of sexual violence in children’s and YA literature (Marshall, “Stripping”; “Girlhood”), this paper examines Speak (Anderson), Living Dead Girl (Scott), and Exit, Pursued by a Bear (Johnston), which all set rape scenes outdoors. When individuals are violated in outdoor spaces, these sites can come to hold traumatic memories, prompting a shift in survivors’ relationships with the outdoors. For the protagonists in all three novels examined here, outdoor spaces come to represent pain, and so a critical consideration of the setting of sexual assault in these stories—particularly spaces with land, trees, and water—is warranted.
Youth-Engaged Art-Based Research in Cape Breton: Transcending Nations, Boundaries and Identities
Authors: Ostashewski Marcia , Frey Heather Fitzsimmons , Johnson Shaylene
Published: July 2022

2017, in conjunction with celebrations of 150 years of Canadian Confederation and with funding from government programs, young people from across Cape Breton Island were invited to participate in a performance creation project to explore narratives and experiences of migration and encounter. Youth (ranging in age from seven to nineteen) from disparate places, including Membertou First Nation (a reserve), Chéticamp (an Acadian, francophone town), Étoile de l’Acadie (a francophone school and community centre in Sydney), and Whitney Pier (a district of Sydney that is home to diverse immigrant cultures, primarily from Barbados, Italy, Newfoundland, Poland, Croatia and Ukraine) all met in their own communities. They listened to elders discuss their own experiences of migration and encounter, and responded by creating new performance pieces grounded in song, dance, film (including new technologies such as virtual reality and 360-degree cameras), spoken word and story. They came together on 22 October 2017 to share their creative work with one another and with public audiences. We examine issues that arose during the creative process and of young participants’ post-process reflections, according to each of the ways in which Vertovec (“Conceiving”) has identified transnationalism. Interpretations of the Cape Breton youths’ own senses of rooted place are positioned in relation to transnational experiences present within their communities. These young people’s expressions of the local (for example, Acadian step dance and Mi’kmaq traditional drumming) morph into expressions of the transnational (for example, hip hop and pop music production); musical expressions use so-called traditional instruments (bagpipes or hand drums), DJ mixing techniques, djembe, Acadian folk music, and Elvis. Problematizing assumptions about what it is to be a Cape Bretoner, and interrogating how migration and resulting encounters have shaped how these young people choose to express themselves, this paper examines how they simultaneously express and contest transnationalism.
“Agent of Revolutionary Thought”: Bambara and Black Girlhood for a Poetics of Being and Becoming Human
Authors: Kromidas Maria
Published: July 2022

In “Gorilla, My Love,” Toni Cade Bambara’s Black girl narrator reverses the traditional adult gaze on the child to disrupt our taken-for-granted notions of childhood, adulthood, and their relations. Read through the lens of Sylvia Wynter’s poetics of being and becoming human and Avery Gordon’s utopian margins, this story serves as a counter-narrative to that of the hegemonic child and inspires new narratives as part of enacting liberation. Through Hazel’s unruly resistance against capital, white supremacy, and patriarchy, Bambara recuperates the alterity of childhood in a way that reveals the joy and revolutionary transformation lurking in the present.
“Are You Preparing for Another War?”: Un/Just War and the Hunger Games Trilogy
Authors: Harde Roxanne
Published: July 2022

Drawing from the body of just war theory, this article analyzes Suzanne Collins’s discussion of warfare in the Hunger Games trilogy, tracing the ways in which decisions about war unfold along the lines of the love triangle plot involving Peeta and Gale. Although there are important issues about social injustices driving the trilogy, a fair amount of scholarship has focused on romance in the novel. The more interesting tension in the narrative is not Katniss’s romantic entanglements but the conflict among Peeta’s adherence to the principles of just war, Gale’s disregard of them, and Katniss’s continuing moral dilemmas about them. Arguing that Katniss’s deliberations about war—both joining the rebellion and fighting in the war against the Capitol—are aligned with the foundational principles of just war theory, this essay traces the mandates of jus ad bellum as set out in The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, where Katniss, influenced by both Gale and Peeta, considers rebellion, and then reads in Mockingjay the ways in which the ethical demands of jus in bello lead her to choose Peeta.
“It’s Such a Small Planet, Why Do You Need Borders?”: Seeing Flying in Le Petit Prince and Its Screen Adaptations
Authors: Barai Aneesh
Published: July 2022

In this article, I analyze the potential positive impact of aerial perspectives on children’s understanding of their place in the world, with Le Petit Prince envisioning a borderless world of ecological and social unity. The novellas of the pilot and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry encourage their projected viewers to see the interconnectedness of all life, including the life of the planet itself. Most notably, Le Petit Prince raises environmental responsibility in discussing the prince’s planet and undermines ideas of national difference as the prince views the earth from space. Visual adaptations of Le Petit Prince by Stanley Donen and Will Vinton pick up on Saint-Exupéry’s phenomenology of perception and translate them through visual techniques into politicized aerial perspectives. Looking at Le Petit Prince and its film adaptations, this article argues that aerial perspectives work to transform children’s perceptions and break down bordered mappings of the world.
Good, Mad, or “Incurably Bad:” The Borders of Normalcy and Deviance in Film Representations of Sociopathic White Schoolgirls
Authors: Hamilton-McKenna Caroline , Marshall Elizabeth , Rogers Theresa
Published: July 2022

Through the lens of feminist cultural geography, the authors seek to understand how film and television depictions of the violent white schoolgirl across the idealized space of white suburbia temporarily disrupt, but ultimately sustain, the borders that define gender, youth, normalcy, and deviance. The authors analyze contemporary cinematic and televised dramas, including Peter Jackson’s 1994 film Heavenly Creatures, the 2018 HBO series Sharp Objects, and Cory Finley’s 2017 film Thoroughbreds to demonstrate how spatial dimensions of “deviant” white adolescent femininity enforce the boundaries of “normal” girlhood.
“Laugh! I Thought I Should’ve Died”: British Music Hall Humour and the Subversion of Childhood on The Muppet Show
Authors: Maloy Liam
Published: July 2022

Through the abundant use of the bawdy, humorous songs of British music hall, The Muppet Show delivered a potent critique of constructed notions of a protectionist childhood. Paradoxically perhaps, the music hall songs, carnivalesque comedy, and frequent depictions of sex, sexuality, and violence also did much to construct The Muppet Show’s intended “family” audience while simultaneously providing a direct challenge to its normative sanguinuptial (blood and marriage) construction. This intergenerational family audience is crucial to the child’s interpretation of The Muppet Show’s complex and contentious content, subject matter that is rarely included in media made for a solely child audience. While the musical sketches open up an interpretive space for the child to encounter, resist, and subvert the range of fluid identities hinted at onscreen, the process is simultaneously constricted by the musical-visual texts themselves and by The Muppet Show’s family-reception context. As such, this case study reveals the inherent tensions of targeting a family audience through music and television.
“Which One of You Is the Twelve-Year-Old Boy?”: Children’s Humour, Wittgensteinian Jokes, and the Sack Lunch Bunch
Authors: Dalebout Michael G.
Published: July 2022

This article reads the comedic after-school special John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch (Netflix 2019) alongside philosophical accounts of humour, comedy, and laughter—collectively, Humour—and elaborates upon how Sack Lunch repurposes the conceptual binary of adult and child, neither reinforcing nor denying its formative role in the relationship between people of diverse ages. Interpreted as what Ludwig Wittgenstein called a grammatical investigation (or a study of how language is used), Sack Lunch inhabits the ambiguous and artificial boundary between child and adult to trouble an overly familiar picture of growing up. In showing how children’s and adults’ Humour is alike in showing what is funny, or off, in our world, Sack Lunch is a non-instrumental example of Humour as a pedagogical resource. Because it exposes the sedimented conceptions underlying how intergenerational social relationships perpetuate socio-political injustices, children’s Humour in particular warrants further attention by philosophers of humour.
Polish Refugee Children in India: Personal Memory, Grassroots Activism, and Transnational Commemorative Diplomacy
Authors: Stańczyk Ewa
Published: July 2022

This article explores the memory of nearly one thousand Polish child refugees who found safe haven in India during the Second World War. It discusses how from the 1970s onward, the former refugees attempted to sustain the memory of their exilic homeland, often with support from other memory actors in both Poland and India. Analyzing both personal testimonies and grassroots memory activism, this article investigates the intertwining of individual memory with wider memorial trends, such as vernacular, national, and transnational memory. By discussing the ways in which personal and familial memory of wartime childhood serve as a springboard for other commemorative initiatives, this article also examines how children and young people feature in public memory, both as memory actors and objects of commemoration. In doing so, not only do I ask broader questions about remembering children that are relevant to this special issue, but also provide a window into the vicissitudes of Polish politics of memory from the late 1940s to the present.
La dialectique de l’espace dans Harry Potter: le motif du passage secret
Authors: de Launay Caroline
Published: July 2022

L’oeuvre de J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter, présente deux systèmes spatiaux: le monde des Moldus et celui des Sorciers, fonctionnant selon des règles que le personnage Moldu et/ou Sorcier observe et reconnait. Puisqu’ils se partagent une même étendue géographique, les deux systèmes supposent une logistique. Le motif du passage secret sert de moyen terme à cette dialectique. Cet article cherche à expliciter la structure du monde créé par J.K. Rowling à travers le motif du passage secret qui distingue les deux systèmes.
Breaking Faith: Disrupted Expectations and Ownership in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga
Authors: Parkin Rachel Hendershot
Published: July 2022

My paper suggests that the Twilight saga’s enormous popularity is closely tied to its author’s tension-filled relationship with her fans, who claim ownership of her text by forcing their own interpretations through online media. The result is that through engaging with her fans, Stephenie Meyer actually empowers the Twilight fandom and alters the role readers play in the tri-part relationship of reader, author, and text. Fan studies and reception theory help me to effectively examine this dynamic by considering interpretations of what is “canon,” representations of women, and the creation of new Twilight books.
Childhood, Identity Politics, and Linguistic Negotiation in the Traditional Chinese Translation of the Picture Book The Gruffalo in Taiwan
Authors: Yu Chen-Wei
Published: July 2022

In contemporary Taiwan, the identity politics of childhood are interlaced with changing educational policies that follow a winding course through the Chinese cultural legacy, local Taiwanese values, and Western cultures. One important way in which Western values influence children’s construction of Taiwanese identity is through the translation of texts from English. The Chinese translation of the award-winning UK picture book The Gruffalo is typical of current practices of translation in Taiwan: it demonstrates the attempts to incorporate, fuse, and negotiate heterogeneous Chinese, Taiwanese, and Western cultural elements.
Henri Beaulac et la modernisation de l’illustration pour la jeunesse au Québec
Authors: Danaux Stéphanie
Published: July 2022

Henri Beaulac débute sa carrière en 1935 en réalisant quatre suites d’illustrations pour les Éditions Albert Lévesque de Montréal. Si les textes (Montcalm se fâche, La vie inspirée de Jeanne Mance, La vie gracieuse de Catherine Tekakwitha et L’Évangile dans la vie scoute catholique) sont symptomatiques de la littérature pour la jeunesse de l’époque, conçue comme un outil d’éducation morale, religieuse et nationale, les illustrations se distinguent par un traitement original de l’image dans ses aspects techniques (gravure sur linoléum), stylistiques (dépouillement et stylisation des compositions) et iconographiques (approche inédite de la relation texte-image).

After Jacqueline Rose, What Is Left? The Play of Identity and Representation in Russell Hoban’s Turtle Diary
Authors: Wend-Walker Graeme
Published: July 2022

The paper addresses a problem many readers have with Jacqueline Rose’s The Case of Peter Pan, or The Impossibility of Children’s Fiction: that, while Rose does not mean writing for children should stop, she leaves little indication as to how it and the work around it might actually proceed. Russell Hoban’s adult novel Turtle Diary is read as a response to Rose. Through its children’s author protagonist, Hoban demonstrates that, while impossibility is intrinsic to relations with the Other, its privileging as a critical concern impairs a capacity to respond to the Other as a subject of empathy and ethics.
Unpleasant Consequences: First Sex in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, and Gilmore Girls
Authors: Jones Caroline E.
Published: July 2022

While many contemporary television series offer young female protagonists agency in terms of physical, social, economic, and intellectual power, they often fail to pursue this progressive ideology in terms of these young women’s sexuality. This article explores a cultural fascination with teenage girls as sexual (or asexual) subjects, particularly with their virginity, and the negative effects of that fascination in the experiences of first sex of teen protagonists in the popular television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, and Gilmore Girls.
Figuring Transition: Play, Performance, and Mimicry in Children’s Books by Thomas King, Mordecai Richler, and Margaret Atwood
Authors: Staveley Helene
Published: July 2022

In Thomas King’s A Coyote Solstice Tale, Mordecai Richler’s Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang, and Margaret Atwood’s Wandering Wenda and the Widow Wallop’s Wunderground Washery, the mimicry of the transitional characters is a platform for their satire. Mimicry is a neutral practice in and of itself and can be advocated as a model behaviour: the dictum to become the change one wants to see in the world suggests that, by imitating a not-yet-actual ideal, one can make that fiction reality. For Child, The Hooded Fang, and the Wizard/Widow, mimicry also dramatizes the intolerability of worlds that manipulate interpellative processes to reify power. The transitional figures in these three books work as models of the half-playful and half-perverse clinging to a way of life that pertains to a particular fictional world they endorse, reinforcing childhood as a desirable, dynamic, and powerful transitional state.
Cultural Preservation and Metropolitan Transformation: Folk-Tale Traditions and The Queen of Paradise’s Garden, a Newfoundland Jack Tale
Authors: Rosenberg Teya
Published: July 2022

The Queen of Paradise’s Garden, adapted by Andy Jones and illustrated by Darka Erdelji, is a picture-book version of a Newfoundland Jack tale. The movement of the tale through a variety of forms—from oral tale to print transcription to puppet play to picture book—and its role as a cultural artifact echo the complexities of folk-tale transmission and transformation globally and historically. This article examines the ways in which the picture book and its antecedent versions are both of Newfoundland and of a larger and ongoing history of folk tales.
Advertising the Self: The Culture of Personality in E. B. White's Charlotte's Web
Authors: Ceraldi Gabrielle
Published: July 2022

E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web reflects the emergence of what Warren I. Susman has termed the “culture of personality.” This shift from an older culture of character to a newer culture of personality is thrown into sharp relief in the novel, which juxtaposes the bucolic Zuckerman farm against an emerging consumeristic society in which self-promotion has become necessary for success. While White acknowledges the need for confident self-promotion, he also interrogates the culture of personality, resurrecting aspects of the culture of character as a corrective to the competitive and egoistic norms of modern life.
The Uncanny Return of Repressed History in Jonathan Hobin’s In the Playroom: Playing beyond the Pleasure Principle
Authors: Farley Lisa
Published: July 2022

This paper investigates the motif of repetition in relationship to the pervasive emblem of the child as future. Drawing from Sigmund Freud’s discussion of the uncanny and from D. W. Winnicott’s theory of playing, the paper proposes that newness rests not on the literal fact of the child but in the play of signification—the life of the signifier—opened up in the haunting encounter with old scenes. When childhood is understood as an uncanny effect, we may encounter the adult’s repressed and quaking insides, an encounter from which typically we flee in the idealization of the child as future. This paper takes as its object of analysis a recent series by Canadian photographer Jonathan Hobin called In the Playroom, which features children as “doubles” who re-enact scenes of historical violence and power plays of the adult world. Hobin’s doubles have uncanny effects that hold the potential for renewed meaning in a world that turns on the compulsion to repeat.
Gregor the Overlander and A Wrinkle in Time: Father Lost, Father Found
Authors: Lavoie Chantel
Published: July 2022

This paper argues that Suzanne Collins’s book Gregor the Overlander rewrites Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time, including the significant character of the father who has been missing from his child’s life for two years for the sake of science. The effect of this rewriting is in effect a secularizing and updating of L’Engle’s classic for children. Because L’Engle’s book is a Christian text whereas Collins’s is not, the former is more interested in myth, the latter in history, and both in considering warfare (as each father character is a prisoner of war) and in writing about science itself.
The Child Mechanical and Adult Anxiety in Children’s Literature and Culture: “Wheels to the Rails!”
Authors: Cox Patrick
Published: July 2022

This article examines previous studies of anthropomorphized machinery in children’s literature and posits that paying particular attention to machinery specifically anthropomorphized as children yields insightful analytic results. Earlier studies have suggested anthropomorphized machinery softens large machines and renders them less threatening. The author argues that pedomorphized machines (machines given not just human, but specifically children’s characteristics) should be studied not for what new meanings they bring to the machines, but for new meanings they bring to the construct of childhood. Rather than humanizing the machine, pedomorphic machinery blends childhood innocence and traits of James Kincaid’s “Child Botanical” with ideas of power, mobility, and freedom. These images reveal a deep unease with the coupling of childhood and technology.
Empowering catastrophic far-forward self-care: Nobody should die alone without trying
Authors: Kirkpatrick Andrew W. , McKee Jessica L.
Published: July 2022

LAY SUMMARY

Traumatic injury is the most common cause of death among young people. Most victims of trauma die alone before medical response is possible. Typical causes of death are not overly complex to fix if access to standard hospital interventions is feasible. Dying victims are often connected to smartphone-supporting informatic communication technologies, which make available a worldwide network of experts who can potentially reassure and remotely diagnose victims and provide life-saving advice. TeleMentored Ultrasound Supported Medical Interventions (TMUSMI) researchers have focused on empowering point-of-care providers to perform outside their scope and deliver life-saving interventions. With the recognition that COVID-19 has profoundly isolated many people, solutions to respect COVID-19 isolation policies have stimulated the TMUSMI group to appreciate the potential for informatic technologies’ effect on the ability to care for oneself in cases of catastrophic injury.

ANALISIS POTENSI PENDAPATAN DARI MEKANISME REDD SEKTOR KEHUTANAN DI INDONESIA
Authors: Siswanto Adrianus Dwi
Published: July 2022

Indonesia faces serious problems in the forestry sector. The forest area covers about 70 percent of the total area spread over 33 provinces, have been damaged more than 37 percent on many levels. Department of Forestry reported deforestation reached 1 million hectares per year since 2000. If the condition is not change then the year 2050 the entire forest will be gone.This study focus to calculate the value of potential income that can be accepted if the REDD mechanism is applied in Indonesia. The methodology used in this study are mathematics and descriptive statistics using secondary data. Source of data are obtained the Central Bureau of Statistics and Ministry of Forestry and other sources. The results showed that according the baseline, the growth trends in deforestation by using 2000 - 2005, Indonesian forest destruction reached 35.277 million hectares on 2017 with 15 percent growth assumption damage.By implementing 3 simulations assuming that the decreased the rate of deforestation by 15 percent, 50 percent and 75 percent, the study provides results that the potential revenue are vary from of U.S. $ 20.155 million to U.S. $ 532.530 million. Estimated potential revenue is determined by the ability to decrease the growth rate of deforestation. The higher the ability to decrease the rate of deforestation, the higher the potential for carbon stock is maintained. On the other side encouraging the increasing deforestation of forest produce higher emissions more carbon stock disappear.

Significant change of Indonesian economy has lead to the need of people more than just basic need such as food and clothes. Others such as health and education have become a must for Indonesian. Anticipating this condition, government will implement new universal coverage health system in 2014 as mandated by law. This paper has objectives to explore several aspects which contribute or influence to the policy formulation and implementation, particularly in designing new health insurance system in Indonesia and learning from Australian experience and best practice. Methodology used in this paper is both primary research such as in depth interview with some health economist, expert form universities, government researcher as well as observation to the organization that manage health system in Australia and secondary research by doing literature review of health insurance system, benchmarking, compare and contrast the health insurance system in Indonesia and Australia and analyze the best and suitable ones for implemented in the future. There are several interesting findings that can be recommended such as Australian health reform and relationship between public and private health system.
THE ROLES OF BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE ON POVERTY ALLEVIATION IN INDONESIA
Authors: Nugroho Sidiq Suryo
Published: July 2022

The effect of infrastructure on poverty has been studied many times by researchers, but investigation about the transmission channel of infrastructure's effect on poverty needed more investigation due to more specific policy compiling. The aim of this present study is to investigate the role of basic infrastructure to fight the poverty by depicting the relationship of lenght of road, electricity transmission, clean water distribution, number of health care center, and number of school in particular areas with the poverty rate in Indonesia. This present study uses simple regression method, using panel data from 26 province level for year 2000-2008 in Indonesia. The result of this study reveals that road, electricity transmission, number of health care center, and number of school have an impact on poverty rate through economic growth which is proxied by human development index (HDI), in the other words the relationship between infrastructure and poverty is indirect relationship. Thus, if the Indonesian government is serious about reducing poverty, then the policy should give more emphasis on the poor and provide them with those basic infrastructures; and also have to improve the accessibility of the infrastructures for the poor people although its effect is indirectly.
Stock Market Integration as a part of Financial Market in the ASEAN Economic Community
Authors: Abimanyu Yoopi
Published: July 2022

This paper is trying to assess whether the stock market in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, among others Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Philippine, Malaysia, and Vietnam, are integrated monthly data from January 2000 until August 2014. To support that analysis, a somewhat similar approached is done for the foreign exchange market in the same ASEAN member countries. The empirical results suggest that the ASEAN stock markets are co-integrated (except Philippines). Also, there is a positive relationship between Indonesia's and other ASEAN member countries' foreign exchange market. Those analysis were done in relationship with the new regional condition, faced by the new government just recently elected, that is, the ASEAN common market, which would be implemented in 2015.

Peningkatan kesejahteraan sosial dengan pendekatan developmentalis yang dilaksanakan melalui Pengembangan Ekonomi Lokal (PEL) berbasis kawasan, diyakini mampu sebagai salah satu strategi pembangunan untuk mengurangi terjadinya distorted development di kawasan perdesaan karena dilaksanakan secara sinergis antara Pemerintah, â€œpasarâ€, dan masyarakat; serta ditujukan untuk peningkatan kesejahteraan sosial bagi semua. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sinergisme komponen PEL dan menganalisis faktor pendorong dan kendala sinergisme komponen PEL untuk peningkatan kesejahteraan sosial di Kawasan Telang (Provinsi Sumatera Selatan) dan Batu Betumpang (Provinsi Bangka). Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deduktif-kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian eksplanatori. Metode analisis yang digunakan yaitu analisis empat dimensi sinergisme, theory driven thematic analysis, dan Problem Tree Analysis (PTA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi komponen PEL di Kawasan Telang termasuk dalam kategori terfragmentasi, sedangkan kolaborasi di Batu Betumpang termasuk dalam kategori kurang sinergis. Faktor pendorong dan kendala utama sinergisme PEL untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan sosial dan mencegah terjadinya disembedded economy di kedua kawasan adalah kapabilitas kolaborasi, kepemimpinan, regulasi, perencanaan kolaboratif, sistem kolaborasi, konsensus tujuan bersama, dan legitimasi. Faktor-faktor tersebut memicu munculnya faktor-faktor lainnya seperti readiness, komitmen, partisipasi masyarakat, konflik kepentingan, motivasi, dan komunikasi. Oleh sebab itu,ketujuh faktor pemicu harus diperhatikan untuk peningkatan sinergisme PEL guna meningkatkan kesejahteraan sosial serta mencegah terjadinya disembedded economy.

This study was aimed to analyze the persistence of inflation in West Papua Province and commoditiesâ€™s contibutions to its persistence. In other that, this study was aimed to know the role of TPID in controlling the inflation rate too. Using secondary time series data in 2009 until 2015 period from Bank Indonesia, this study estimated the persistence with Univariate Autoregressive (AR) Model approach. This study empirically showed that the inflation in West Papua has a high level persistence. This level indicated that inflation was relatively need long time to back to natural value after the shocks. It need 11.5 months to back to natural value. Furthermore, using Partial Adjustment Model (PAM), this study also showed that the persistence significantly caused by groups of prepared food, transportation, communication and monetary service as administered price and volatile foods groups. TPID as an inflation controller board have given good roles in coordinating both fiscal and monetary policies.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat persistensi inflasi di Provinsi Papua Barat dan kontribusi persistensi inflasi sejumlah komoditas atau kelompok barang/jasa terhadap pembentukan persistensi di Provinsi Papua Barat. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga akan melihat peranan TPID menjalankan fungsinya dalam pengendalian inflasi di Provinsi Papua Barat. Dengan menggunakan data time series triwulanan tahun 2009 s.d. 2015 yang bersumber dari publikasi Bank Indonesia, penelitian ini mencoba mengestimasi dengan pendekatan Univariate Autoregressive (AR) Model. Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa inflasi di Provinsi Papua Barat memiliki derajat persistensi yang tinggi. Persistensi inflasi yang tinggi mengindikasikan bahwa inflasi membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama untuk kembali ke nilai alamiahnya setelah adanya shock. Tingginya derajat persistensi inflasi Provinsi Papua Barat tercermin dari lamanya jangka waktu yang dibutuhkan oleh inflasi untuk menyerap 50% shock yang terjadi sebelum kembali ke nilai alamiahnya. Jangka waktu yang dibutuhkan oleh inflasi Provinsi Papua Barat untuk kembali ke nilai alamiahnya yaitu selama 11,5 bulan. Dengan model Partial Adjustment Model (PAM) diketahui bahwa persistensi inflasi Provinsi Papua Barat dipengaruhi oleh shock yang terjadi pada kelompok bahan makanan dan kelompok-kelompok transportasi, komunikasi, dan jasa keuangan sebagai kelompok administered price dan kelompok bahan makanan sebagai kelompok volatile foods. Selain itu, keberadaan TPID di Provinsi Papua Barat sebagai upaya untuk mengoordinasikan kebijakan moneter dan fiskal regional dalam rangka mengontrol laju inflasi, terbukti memiliki arah hubungan negatif terhadap inflasi regional di Provinsi Papua Barat.

Pod władzą królewską (Ps 2)
Authors: Bazyliński Stanisław
Published: July 2022

L'articolo prende in esame il Sal 2, evidenziando anzitutto il principio dell'autorità regale presentato dal salmista. Il commento delle singole parti del salmo (vv.1-3; 4-9; 10-12) si incentra sulle relazioni tra Dio e il re di Israele, facendo emergere il ruolo di questultimo quale plenipotenziario e vassallo di Yhwh. Infine, l'analisi si sofferma sulla recezione del Sal 2 nel NT e in quattro Padri della Chiesa (Atanasio, Agostino, Ilario, Eusebio), ponendo in rilievo la particolare attenzione che l'interpretazione neotestamentaria e patristica dà al dominio di Cristo.
Boża sprawiedliwość objawiająca się w dziele zbawienia człowieka przez krzyż
Authors: Rakocy Waldemar
Published: July 2022

The article concerns the justice of God being revealed in the act of redeeming the man by cross (on the basis of the Romans). The author first distinguishes two aspects of the justice of God: the will/decision to redeem the man and the way of carrying it out i.e. the death of the Son. Then the author puts forward Pauls two arguments for the redemption by the cross as well as questions the thesis that the Sons death puts in doubt the Fathers love. He defies the thesis of those who claim the cross was not necessary in the act of redemption. The author proves the cross had become the tool of revealing the vastness of Gods love towards the man and his justice: God chooses the action most perfect of all in reference to His creature.
Zbawieni przez miłość Baranka (Ap 1,5b-6)
Authors: Popielewski Wojciech
Published: July 2022

L'Apocalypse de saint Jean est, injustement, identifiée  une catastrophe; lorsqu'on pense  l'apocalypse, on commence  penser  la destruction definitive du monde. Tandis que la lecture approfondie de ce livre mystérieux nous conduit  découvrir son message fondamental, quest le message du salut. Dieu vient pour sauver son peuple et le fait grâce au Mystre Pascal du Christ  Agneau. Parmis les textes qui en parle se trouve la premire doxologie de l'Apocalypse: 1,5b-6, nommée premire déclaration théologique de l'Apocalypse (Prigent). L'analyse du contexte dans lequel se trouve (1,4-8) nous permet tout dabord de voir un dialoque de la communauté qui prie et qui loue Dieu pour loeuvre du salut accompli par le sang de l'Agneau. L'Église reconnaît l'amour du Christ qui avait pour elle deux effets: a délivré les chrétiens des péchés par son sang et a fait de nous un royaume, des prtres pour Dieu son Père. L'hymne 1,5b-6 est une proclamation de foi en lamour qui fait naître lÉglise, destinée  devenir l'Épouse de l'Agneau belle pour aller  la rencontre de son mari (Rev 21,2).
Ewangelia a bluźnierstwo przeciw Duchowi świętemu (Mk 3,29; 12,40)
Authors: Malina Artur
Published: July 2022

L’avvertimento sulla privazione eterna della remissione dei peccati (3,29) e l’annuncio di una punizione massima per gli scribi (12,40) sembrano contrastare fortemente con la comprensione del vangelo come Lieta Notizia. Le parole di Gesù costituiscono però l’occasione per rivelare che la sua persona e attività, legate all’opera dello Spirito Santo, portano la remissione di tutti i peccati e di tutte le bestemmie. In questo modo l’atteggiamento richiesto dagli uomini di fronte a Gesù e al suo insegnamento diventa fondamentale per il loro rapporto con Dio. Il contenuto essenziale del Vangelo, concepito come Lieta Notizia, è che in Gesù si fonda definitivamente questo rapporto. Il castigo di cui parla Gesù nel suo ultimo discorso pubblico viene dalla perdita dei benefici annunciati e portati da Lui.
Świadkowie Zmartwychwstałego. Duch święty i świadectwo w Dziejach Apostolskich
Authors: Aletti Jean-Noel
Published: July 2022

The article studies the narrative schemes in Acts in order to show how the apostles and other Christians became witnesses of the Resurrection. After his Resurrection in Lukes Gospel, Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would enable the apostles to be witnesses to the events of Salvation. In Acts, Peter and the apostles choose Matthias to be a witness, since he was present from the beginning of Jesus' ministry through the Resurrection. Peters Pentecost discourse to the Jews gathered is similar to Pauls defence of Jesus Resurrection in Acts 13, in that both the apostles and Paul become missionary witnesses to all the things Jesus did, particularly proclaiming his Resurrection. Paul, therefore, becomes a creditable witness to Jesus on account of Gods calling and the Holy Spirit. His speeches in Acts are proof that he knows the Resurrected Christ and has received the Holy Spirit. Just as the Holy Spirit makes Cornelius a witness though Peter, Paul receives the Holy Spirit through Ananias, enabling him to prophesy and witness to Jesus to the ends of the earth. Narrative techniques in Acts aim at showing the reader the way to becoming a witness.
