Authors: Febriani Ria , Susanti Ely , Hapizah Hapizah
Published: February 2024

Background:Understanding fractions in mathematics often poses greater complexity compared to integral numbers. The primary difficulty lies in students' inadequate grasp of fractional basics, notably in comparing and sequencing fractions.Aim: This research seeks to create and evaluate a learning pathway's effect on fourth graders' comprehension of fractions, with a focus on their comparison and sequencing.Method: Employing a design research validation study approach, the research progresses through preliminary design, experimental design, and retrospective analysis. Conducted in a Palembang school involving six fourth graders recommended by their teacher, data collection encompassed essay-based pre and post-tests, Student Activity Sheets, observations, interviews, and documentations. The data analysis was retrospectively carried out, anchored on HLT as the benchmark.Result: Findings reveal a student learning trajectory encompassing three principal activities. Initially, students used folding and gluing of paper to discern fraction values. Subsequently, they engaged in coloring and illustrating folds for fraction comparison. The final activity involved drawing, coloring boxes, and fraction comparison and sequencing. Overall, students showed proficiency in understanding and determining fraction values and comparing them, yet struggled with ordering certain fractions.Conclusion: The structured learning path facilitated students' understanding of basic fraction concepts, especially in comparing them. Nevertheless, reinforcing methods or approaches for teaching fraction ordering is essential.

Published: February 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo dialogar a respeito da atuação da rede estadual de educação do estado de Alagoas a partir do discurso sobre a cultura de avaliação, em que as escolas devem seguir os preceitos neoliberais, os princípios e as estratégias gerenciais para alcançar um serviço eficiente, eficaz e de qualidade. Nesse contexto, a educação pública sofreu reformas no intuito de se ajustar aos ditames mercadológicos e da qualidade educacional aferida, unicamente, pelo viés quantitativo, por meio das avaliações externas introduzidas na educação básica na década de 1990. A metodologia do trabalho esteve pautada na abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório, utilizando-se do estudo de caso, como técnica de pesquisa, com o objetivo de apresentar a perspectiva da 2ª Gerência Regional de Educação a respeito da temática. Os principais resultados apontaram que o modelo gerencial está enraizado na rede estadual e que os princípios da eficiência, da eficácia e da produtividade vêm sendo vivenciados com engajamento pelos líderes educacionais, em detrimento do atendimento da função social da escola que valorize a emancipação humana. Sendo assim, atribui- se à cultura da avaliação como impulsionadora da qualidade educacional dos tempos atuais.

THE AUTHORITY OF MEDICAL ORGANIZATIONS IN DETERMINING THE OCCURRENCE OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Authors: Panangngari Andi Aulia , Muin Audyna Mayasari , Mirzana Hijrah Adhyanti
Published: February 2024

This study aimed to examine and analyze the authority of medical organizations in determining the occurrence of medical malpractice and to examine and analyze the judge's consideration of Decision Number 1441/Pid/Sus/2019/PN Mks. This study used a normative juridical research method with a statute approach and a case approach. The data analysis employed descriptive qualitative analysis, which was correlated with concepts and theories from various literary sources. The results of the study revealed that the Indonesian Medical Association (IMA), through Honorary Council for Medical Ethics (HCME), was authorized to determine the occurrence of medical malpractice. This authority was manifested through the revocation of the license of the doctor who became the defendant, even though the judge's decision stated that no malpractice was found by the defendant. Regarding Decision Number 1441/Pid.Sus/2019/PN. Mks, the acquittal for Mrs. Dr. Elizabeth Susana M. Boing was right. Many opinions confirmed that the incident was a result of medical risks rather than medical malpractice committed by Mrs. Dr. Elizabeth. However, it was considered a work accident that resulted in a medical risk, which basically did not result in criminal sanctions.
APPLICATION OF THE LEX SPECIALIS DEROGAT LEGI GENERALIS PRINCIPLE IN HOUSEHOLD VIOLENT CRIMINAL CASES WITH UNDER HAND MARRIAGE STATU

Published: February 2024

The case against Decision Number 101/Pid.B/2018/Pn Kph with the application of Article 351 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code in criminal cases of domestic violence, as well as the application Law No. 23 of 2004 concerning Domestic Violence for victims of domestic violence with underhanded marriage ties that are not in line with legal objectives in terms of certainty, justice and benefit. This research is a normative legal research using a statutory approach. The results of the research show that the application of Article 351 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code does not fulfill the legal objectives in terms of certainty, justice, and legal benefits. This is due to the fact that the panel of judges, through their considerations, does not see that underhand marriage is a legal marriage, whereas in the KHI and the Marriage Law it is considered that marriages carried out in accordance with religious verses are legal marriages, so that the application Law No. 23 of 2004 concerning Domestic Violence can be applied as a legal basis. Implementation the Law No. 23 of 2004 concerning Domestic Violence can be applied to victims of domestic violence with underhanded marriage ties, based on the KHI and the Marriage Law, this is also strengthened by The Lex Specialis Derogat Legi Generalis so that victims of domestic violence with underhand marriage ties are no longer only protected by general regulations, namely the Criminal Code, but special regulations, namely Law No. 23 of 2004 concerning Domestic Violence Law (PKDRT).

Published: February 2024

This study analyzed time-dependent effects of vaccination against Y. ruckeri on the oxidative mechanism underlying those effects by detecting relevant lipid peroxidation (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) and protein oxidation biomarkers [aldehydic and ketonic derivatives of oxidatively modified proteins (OMP)], antioxidant defenses [activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), total antioxidant capacity (TAC)], as well as activities of lysosomal functioning [alanyl aminopeptidase (AAP), leucyl aminopeptidase (LAP), acid phosphatase (AcP), and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG)] in hepatic tissue of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum) following anti-Y. ruckeri vaccination in the first, second, and sixth months. A concentrated vaccine with Y. ruckeri strains was enclosed in fish feed and was administered three times every other day. Rainbow trout from each group were euthanized 31, 61, and 181 days following vaccination, and hepatic tissue was sampled for analysis. In the current study, vaccination against Y. ruckeri resulted in a no statistically significant change in TBARS levels, while aldehydic and ketonic derivatives of OMP in hepatic tissue decreased, especially after the first and second months following immunization. Moreover, the activities of glutathione-dependent enzymes increased, especially after the first and sixth months. The highest TAC levels were observed two and six months after vaccination. It has been shown that vaccination-related oxidative stress in hepatic tissue is involved in adaptive responses through the temporary mobilization of antioxidant and lysosomal enzymes in rainbow trout. The present study showed the effect of vaccination on lysosome membrane permeability for carbohydrate cleavage after the development of immunity against Yersinia, whereas antioxidant defence was reduced. Our results confirmed that the concept of preserving antioxidant enzyme function after vaccination was also evident when CAT, GR, and GPx activities either increased or were unchanged following vaccination.
Effects of chlorpyrifos on histopathological biomarkers of the freshwater teleost Oreochromis niloticus
Authors: Majumder Rajib
Published: February 2024

An attempt was made to evaluate histopathological changes in the gills, liver, and kidney tissues of the freshwater teleost Oreochromis niloticus as biomarkers of chlorpyrifos toxicity. An experiment was conducted in glass aquaria with O. niloticus exposed for 28 days to sub-lethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos of 0.0 µg L−1 (control), 10 µg L−1, and 20 µg L−1. Chlorpyrifos caused distortions of the primary gill lamellae structure, the curling of secondary lamellae, desquamation, and epithelial hyperplasia on secondary gill filaments. Hepatocyte vacuolation and nuclear membrane necrosis were found in the liver. Additionally, the shrinkage of the glomeruli, thickening of Bowman’s capsule, glomerular and tubular necrosis, intracytoplasmic vacuoles, and hyaline degeneration in the renal tubule were seen in the kidney of O. niloticus exposed to chlorpyrifos. No remarkable lesions were observed in the control group. The severity of lesions in the fish tissues was assessed using the standard semi-quantitative grading system. The degree of histopathological lesions in various fish tissues was found to increase with chlorpyrifos concentrations. Histopathological lesions appeared to be good biomarkers of chlorpyrifos toxicity.
The Subjectivity of the Grading Evaluation System in the Religious Class in Greece - A New Approach
Authors: Zaviš Monika , Diamantopoulos Konstantinos A.
Published: February 2024

Introduction:
The grading process in secondary education is always challenging to navigate since the subjective dimension of the human parameter always seems to interfere dynamically in combination with the variety of the submitted assessment questions grounded on the grading teacher’s style. The central questions asked are: a) what are the applied assessment styles among Greek Religious Education (RE) teachers? b) What are their main assessment criteria? Moreover, c) What kind of evaluation plans are used to benefit the students? The above assessment issue is affected by the culture and mentality of each teacher.

Methods:
The method uses a quantitative survey designed by Google Forms to research the grading and topic patterns used by RE teachers and colleagues of humanities during their class assessments, both oral and written.

Results:
RE teachers have particular inclinations concerning the students’ assessment issues. They consider their discipline demanding and often prefer to apply written form assessments in class. Moreover, more methods emerged, which belong to the new school perception but are still placed statistically as auxiliary assessment weaponry. Microsoft Excel was also used for data visualization and quantitative analysis.

Discussion:
The assessment point of view might differ in each subject’s nature and, indeed, be planned by the objectives of each teacher. However, RE teachers and affiliated colleagues (literature teachers – affiliated colleagues should prioritise adjusting knowledge to the social realm.

Limitations:
The present research paper aims to stimulate educational interest regarding RE evaluation subjectivity by converting some subjective elements into precise statistical questions. Therefore, the questions used were a few but accurate, while the magnitude of the participants needed to be bigger, hindering the accumulation of more statistical information.

Conclusions:
Written-test assessments are prioritized, though oral inquiries are vital to the RE teachers’ methodology because of time scheduling issues explained throughout the text. The whole assessment scenery is grounded on the fact that RE discipline is considered demanding and essential. Some statistical inconsistencies undergird the necessity of applying knowledge in the social praxis to benefit Greek society. The latter lack is a drawback.

Authors: Madonsela Stanley
Published: February 2024

Even though multilingual education has been in existence for a long time, the new era has brought another contestation around this educational substitute. Multilingual education which is often realized through multilingual language policy seems to be the best way to prepare future generations to participate in constructing democratic societies in and intercultural world. South Africa is no exception to this development. The language policy and governance in the schooling system of South Africa cannot be seen in isolation from that of the rest of the African continent and the world. This article disinters the extent to which the bodies responsible for the governing of schools in South Africa can formulate and implement language policies that serve the demographic language interest of societies that they serve. This article contextualizes the rights-based approach through fostering a deeper understanding of how different participants and role players in the education system can form the links between rights and participation with a view to bringing about change in language policy formulation and implementation in schools.

Authors: Albarrak Danah , Alaotibi Fay , Alenezi Shahad , Alshehri Rana , Suliman Ihab
Published: February 2024

Background:
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) known as Yamaguchi syndrome, is an uncommon variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with higher incidence reported in the Asian populations. The clinical presentation of ApHCM is vague thus can mimic other conditions, which can lead to a delayed or a missed diagnosis. Only a few reports have described the incidence of Yamaguchi syndrome in other populations other than Asians.
Case Presentation:
A 46-year-old male, heavy smoker, with unremarkable past medical history was presented to the emergency department with severe central chest pain that radiates to the left side, exacerbated by excretion, and relived by rest not associated with shortness of breath or palpitation. Additionally, the patient reported two similar episodes that occurred the past 4 days. However, physical examination was unremarkable. Initially the patient was labeled as high-risk acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina vs non-ST segment myocardial infarction). Cardiac markers including troponin I and Creatine kinase-MB were within normal range. ECG revealed deep T wave inversion in the inferior limb leads and pericardial leads suggestive of right coronary and left anterior descending artery or left main coronary lesion. The patient underwent for urgent cardiac catheterization which revealed normal coronary arteries. Transthoracic echocardiograph (TTE) showed isolated apical hypertrophy with preserved LV function, suggestive of ApHCM. The patient was advised on smoking cessation and discharged on beta blocker.
Conclusion:
There is an imminent need to establish further research investigating the prevalence of Yamaguchi syndrome among the Saudi population.

This study proposes an integration between the Objective Tree Diagram (OTD) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methods in the design of a Hydraulic Ram Pump (Hydram Pump) for an environmentally friendly irrigation water distribution system in West Sumatra. The hydram method uses the potential energy of river water to drive the pump without the need for electricity or fossil fuels, thereby reducing negative environmental impacts. This study involved a design phase of Identifying user requirements, Developing an Objective Tree Diagram to decompose the ultimate goals, and Integrating Quality Function Deployment to link user requirements with technical specifications. The design results indicate that the hydram pump can be designed to meet the needs of irrigation systems in West Sumatra. With a minimum waterfall height of 0.5 meters, the hydram pump can produce a head of 10 meters. The inlet flow rate is designed to be a maximum of 0.0354 m3/second, while the outlet flow rate is 0.028 m3/second or approximately 2448 liters daily. Integrating OTD and QFD methods allows designers to comprehensively understand user requirements, connect them with precise technical specifications, and reduce the gap between design and actual needs. This research is expected to contribute to developing an environmentally friendly irrigation water distribution system in West Sumatra. By using an integrative approach of the OTD and QFD methods, the design of the hydram pump can be more targeted and meet user needs. The implications of this research can be utilized as a guide in designing efficient and sustainable irrigation water distribution systems while reducing negative environmental impacts in the region.

The review is devoted to the problems of application of modern imidazolinone and ulfonylurea herbicides, as well as to the researches in the field of microbial iotechnology for remediation of contaminated soils. Data on the traits of the influence of residual amounts of herbicides from the classes of imidazolinones and sulfonylureas on target and subsequent crops in crop rotations are given in the article. The problems of monitoring of herbicide residues due to the variety of properties of components and decomposition mechanisms in the soil are shown. Ecological aspects of the influence of imidazolinones and sulfonylureas on soil microbiota and non-target organisms are considered. The results of studies of the biodegradation pathways of herbicide components, as well as conditions that contribute to the acceleration of destructive processes, are presented. The relevance of the search for microorganisms-destructors of imidazolinones and sulfonylureas for the production of biological products is substantiated. Microorganisms of different genera, such as Rhodococcus, Rahnella, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Methylopila, Ancylobacter, Hansschlegelia, Klebsiella, and Arthrobacter, possess destructive potential against imidazolinones and sulfonylureas. The current data on the development of biological products to eliminate residues of imidazolinones and sulfonylureas in soils to reduce the phytotoxic effect are given.

Production of a low-grade phosphate raw materials-based line of products using economically and environmentally appropriate hydrochloric-phosphorus acid technology is a promising area. A double superphosphate (P2O5 = 46 wt. %) was obtained by isothermal re-crystallization due to removing iron(III) from impurities of the technical monocalcium phosphate (P2O5 = 35 wt. %). The obtained product is represented exclusively by a mobile (water-soluble) phosphorus form. The development of greenhouses and requirements for closed soils impose strict restrictions on the impurities composition in the mineral fertilizers. The current State standards regulate such physico-chemical and physico-mechanical parameters of phosphorus-containing fertilizers as nutrients’ concentration, moisture content, pH of 10% solution, granulometric composition, granules’ strength, friability, heavy metals’ concentration. But they ignore a number of impurities, for example, iron(III), that can lead to phosphorus retrogradation. The simple enough technology makes it possible to obtain cheap effective product –monocalcium phosphate (MCP) – from low-grade ores (phosphorites). This explains the high demand for it among farmers. MCP can also be used in animal husbandry, provided that the sanitary regulations and norms requirements on MPC of controlled impurities are met. The development of the “Green Chemistry” involves the use of water-soluble fertilizers and eliminates the toxic elements content that can accumulate in the soil. The iron(III) extracted from impurity minerals binds to phosphorus and forms FePO4 with the citrate-soluble form of P2O5, thereby reducing its mobile form (P2O5 wat.) in the product. A more concentrated product corresponding to the double superphosphate in the main component (P2O5 wat.) content was produced by isothermal re-crystallization of MCP with ballast impurity. In addition, the final product was purified from iron compounds to trace amounts. Thus, purification of technical MCP by isothermal recrystallization method due to the removal of iron impurities to trace amounts expands the field of its application.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a multifunctional protein involved in diverse cellular functions, notably DNA damage repair. Pharmacological inhibition of PARP1 holds potential therapeutic benefits for various pathologies. Despite the current FDA approval of PARP inhibitors, challenges persist in achieving PARP1 selectivity and effective blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration. The development of a PARP1-specific positron emission tomography (PET) ligand is crucial for disease biology and target occupancy studies, aiding the development of PARP1-specific inhibitors. In this study, we leverage the recently identified PARP1 inhibitor, AZD9574, to introduce the design and development of its 18F-isotopologue ([18F]5). Our comprehensive approach, encompassing pharmacological, cellular, autoradiographical, and in vivo PET imaging in non-human primates, demonstrates the capacity of [18F]5 for specific binding to PARP1 and successful penetration of the BBB. These findings position [18F]5 as a viable molecular imaging tool, poised to facilitate the exploration of physiopathological changes of PARP1 across various diseases.

Pyrene-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have tremendous potential for various applications, including carbon capture. With infinite structural possibilities, the MOF community is reliant on simulations to identify the most promising candidates for given applications. Among thousands of reported structures, many exhibit limited reproducibility - in either synthesis, performance, or both - owing to the sensitivity of synthetic conditions. Geometric distortions that may arise in the functional groups of pyrene-based ligands during synthesis and/or activation cannot easily be predicted. This sometimes leads to discrepancies between in-silico and experimental results. Here, we investigate a series of topologically similar pyrene MOFs for carbon capture, as in their orthorhombic crystal structure, the ligand stacks in a parallel fashion, creating a promising binding site for CO2. These structures share the same ligand 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene (TBAPy), but have different metals (M-TBAPy, with M = Al, Ga, In, Sc). As predicted, the metal is shown to affect the pyrene stacking distance, and therefore the CO2 uptake. Interestingly however, our study reveals that the choice of metal also affects the rotational freedom of the ligand's benzoate groups, impacting the overall predicted ranking of the MOFs based on their CO2 uptake. Crystallographic analysis reveals the presence of additional phases where the metal node allows for geometric rearrangement. Considering these additional phases improves the prediction of adsorption isotherms, enhancing our understanding of pyrene-based MOFs for efficient carbon capture.

The second issue of volume four of the Journal of the Council for Research on Religion (JCREOR) came out of a colloquium entitled “Who is My Neighbour? Interfaith Dialogue and Theological Education in the Global Village of the 21st Century.”The event was held at the McGill School of Religious Studies on October 19–20, 2022. Each day included two keynote addresses with their respective panel responses. On October 19, 2022, Amy-Jill Levine and Ingrid Mattson offered two keynote papers on different topics related to Interfaith Dialogue. On October 20, 2022, Robert Hill and Chukwuemeka Anthony Atansi offered two keynote papers on different topics related to Theological Formation in the twenty-first century.The School of Religious Studies was awarded a grant by the Lily Foundation, which was initially designated during the Covid 19 epidemic in 2020–2021. However, the School was granted an extension to use the funds in 2022–2023 for in-person symposiums and a preliminary study of student needs in the university’s theological programs.
Um aniversário quase esquecido: os 90 anos (ou mais) do rádio comercial no Brasil
Authors: Ferraretto Luiz Artur
Published: February 2024

Estudo historiográfico que recupera e analisa a gênese do rádio como negócio no Brasil no final da década de 1920 e no início da de 1930. Considera, para tal, os modelos de periodização histórica do rádio propostos por Ferraretto (2012) e Bolaño (2012). Faz isso à luz de pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos oferecidos por Flichy (1991), Mosco (1996) e Schudson (1993). Descreve, assim, a transformação da Rádio Record, de São Paulo, em emissora comercial e o impacto dessa iniciativa em outras estações, como a Mayrink Veiga, do Rio de Janeiro. No processo de configuração do rádio comercial, destaca o papel: (1) do Decreto nº 21.111, de 1º de março de 1932; (2) do empresário Paulo Machado de Carvalho e dos radialistas César Ladeira e Ademar Casé; (3) do estabelecimento do elenco fixo e exclusivo; e (4) da reorganização do conteúdo.
“Emmudeceram os alto-falantes” – 90 anos de um marco nas disputas pelos direitos das músicas que ouvimos no rádio
Authors: Kischinhevsky Marcelo
Published: February 2024

O presente ensaio parte dos 90 anos do locaute promovido por emissoras, em 1933, contra o pagamento de direitos autorais e conexos referentes às músicas executadas no rádio, para discutir as relações entre artistas e o meio radiofônico no Brasil, ainda hoje com arestas a serem aparadas. Para tanto, realizou-se pesquisa documental na Hemeroteca Digital no período de 1930 a 1939, conjugando-se diversas combinações dos termos “greve”, “rádio”, “Sbat” (Sociedade Brasileira de Autores Teatrais, à época representante dos artistas) e “direitos”, resultando em 14 ocorrências em nove jornais. Reportagens, notas e editoriais identificados permitem reconstituir parte das disputas em torno do reconhecimento da classe artística e da profissionalização da radiodifusão brasileira, que reverberam até hoje, passadas nove décadas.
Por uma (outra) educação midiática: reflexões sobre letramento digital, ética e crítica na Comunicação
Authors: Conceição dos Santos Pedro Henrique , Rangel Leandro Nogueira
Published: February 2024

Este artigo tem como base um minicurso oferecido no XIV Encontro Nacional de História da Mídia e contextualiza a importância de um outro modelo de educação midiática, focada em uma perspectiva vinculada ao letramento digital, à ética e à crítica na Comunicação. A partir do acionamento de revisão bibliográfica por meio de textos das áreas da Comunicação e da Educação, busca-se oferecer estratégias pedagógicas que sirvam para a compreensão e o combate do discurso opressor e dominante reproduzido nos meios de comunicação hegemonizados. Aponta-se para a necessidade de se pensar a partir da prática e trazer a ação para o processo reflexivo, apoiado pela ação dialógica da comunicação, como meio para alcançar uma efetiva educação midiática.
Análise estrutural ricoeuriana: uma opção metodológica
Authors: Matheus Leticia Cantarela
Published: February 2024

Este ensaio resume o minicurso homônimo ministrado durante o XIV Encontro Nacional de História da Mídia em Niterói (RJ), em 28 de julho de 2023. O objetivo foi oferecer mais uma opção metodológica sobre o conceito de narrativa de Paul Ricoeur, indo além do seu modelo triádico (mimeses I, II e III) e enfocando, desta vez, a configuração temporal da narrativa. Primeiro, o curso descreveu brevemente o conceito de narrativa de Ricoeur, com base no tomo I de Tempo e Narrativa. Em seguida, detalhou a proposta de análise estrutural que se encontra no tomo II da mesma obra. Este segundo tomo, sobre o qual versou o curso, concentra-se na mimese II, ou seja, a configuração interna da narrativa, os chamados “jogos com o tempo”. A singularidade da proposta de Ricoeur é seu enfoque na análise temporal das obras tanto históricas quanto ficcionais. De caráter exclusivamente teórico, o ensaio não pretende outra coisa que não atender a uma função puramente pedagógica, ao procurar desmistificar a tarefa de construção do método, de acordo com as demandas de cada pesquisa individual.
A defesa da obrigatoriedade do diploma: uma luta histórica dos jornalistas brasileiros
Authors: Pereira Carmen , Cunha Samira De Castro
Published: February 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo abordar a luta histórica em defesa da obrigatoriedade do diploma em Jornalismo para o exercício profissional que a Federação Nacional dos Jornalistas (FENAJ) e seus aliados vem travando desde 2009, quando o Supremo Tribunal Federal extinguiu a exigência da formação superior em Jornalismo para a atuação  profissional. Apesar de sua relevância social, o Jornalismo é hoje a única profissão regulamentada do país para a qual não se requer qualquer requisito prévio de acesso ao registro profissional. Como procedimento metodológico, o texto se baseia no relato das autoras feito em uma roda de conversa no XIV Encontro Nacional de História da Mídia, ocorrido na Universidade Federal Fluminense, em 2023, com o tema “Democracia, História e Anistias na Memória das Midias”.

When it was put to me that I should set forward my comnents on "Industrial relations: a framework for review" (the Green Paper in 2 volurncs published by the Governtnent to stimulate constructive discussion on the future stnu:turc or the machinery of industrial relations in New Zealand) I found my self in something of a quandary. Both volumess and more particularly volume 2, bring together a great deal of information with which people should be familiar befoew they attempt to discuss the subject. But the Green Paper also poses a large number of propositions on which it invite agreement or disagreement.

New Zealand will no doubt celebrate the centennial of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act in the near future, either on 31 August 1994 (100 years after passage) or on I January 1995 (100 years after effect). As that centennial approaches the Green Paper offers a timely and useful opportunity to identify and review the basic assumptions and operating axioms of that system. This comment will set out those assumptions and attempt to articulate the corollaries which flow from them.
