ECOMUSICOLOGY, INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION IN IBADAN, NIGERIA
Authors: Titus Olusegun Stephen
Published: December 2019

In Zimbabwe, urban musicians and educators often perceive karimba as a category of relatively small mbira that are used for secular entertainment. This notion is strongly influenced by the prominence of the Kwanongoma mbira, or nyunga nyunga mbira, a 15-key karimba that was first popularized by the Kwanongoma College of Music in the 1960s. Despite a wealth of research, very little has been written about karimba traditions around the Zimbabwe-Mozambique border that are associated with traditional religious practices. In this article, the author focuses on a type of karimba with more than 20 keys that shares much of the same repertoire with matepe/madhebhe/hera music in Rushinga, Mutoko, and Mudzi Districts in Zimbabwe and nearby regions in Central Mozambique. The author explores the connections between innovations of the Kwanongoma mbira and karimba traditions in the Northeast with examples from the International Library of African Music archival collections and her own ethnographic research. This article provides a foundation upon which others may further conduct research on karimba music and suggests possible directions for incorporating these findings into educational contexts.

Authors: Pizova N. V. , Pizov A. V.
Published: December 2019

Back pain is a common clinical and socioeconomic problem. Back pain is a symptom, not a nosological form. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease in which, despite normal bone mineralization, bone loss and bone (structure) integrity is observed. The article considers the main causes of primary and secondary osteoporosis. The main modifiable and unmodifiable risk factors for osteoporosis and fractures are presented. The main pathological conditions and diseases associated with the risk of osteoporosis are described. The problem of osteoporosis of the spine as one of the causes of mechanical painful episodes in the back of elderly patients is considered in depth. Clinical features of compression vertebral fractures in osteoporosis in women after menopause are presented. The methods of conservative treatment of osteoporosis are considered. The greatest attention is paid to such effective antiosteoporotic drugs as bisphosphonates. The data on the efficacy and tolerability of alendronic acid preparations as the most studied preparation from the group of bisphosphonates are analyzed. The information on the new medicinal form of alendronic acid – sparkling soluble tablets (Binosto) is presented.

Heterocyclic Compounds Bearing Triazine Scaffold and Their Biological Significance: A Review
Authors: Verma Tarawanti , Sinha Manish , Bansal Nitin
Published: December 2019

Benzene is a six-membered hydrocarbon ring system and if three carbon-hydrogen units of benzene ring are replaced by nitrogen atoms then triazine is formed. Triazines are present in three isomeric forms 1,2,3- triazine, 1,2,4-triazine, and 1,3,5-triazine according to the position of the nitrogen atom. These are weak bases having weaker resonance energy than benzene, so nucleophilic substitution is preferred than electrophilic substitution. Triazine is an interesting class of heterocyclic compounds in medicinal chemistry. Numerous synthetic derivatives of triazine have been prepared and evaluated for a wide spectrum of biological activities in different models with desired findings such as antibacterial, antifungal, anti-cancer, antiviral, antimalarial, antiinflammatory, antiulcer, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, insecticidal and herbicidal agents. Triazine analogs have exposed potent pharmacological activity. So, triazine nucleus may be considered as an interesting core moiety for researchers for the development of future drugs.
Mast Cells as a Double-Edged Sword in Immunity: Their Function in Health and Disease. First of Two Parts
Authors: Magrone Thea , Magrone Manrico , Jirillo Emilio
Published: December 2019

Mast cells (MCs) have recently been re-interpreted in the context of the immune scenario in the sense that their pro-allergic role is no longer exclusive. In fact, MCs even in steady state conditions maintain homeostatic functions, producing mediators and intensively cross-talking with other immune cells. Here, emphasis will be placed on the array of receptors expressed by MCs and the variety of cytokines they produce. Then, the bulk of data discussed will provide readers with a wealth of information on the dual ability of MCs not only to defend but also to offend the host. This double attitude of MCs relies on many variables, such as their subsets, tissues of residency and type of stimuli ranging from microbes to allergens and food antigens. Finally, the relationship between MCs with basophils and eosinophils will be discussed.
TLBO-FLN: Teaching-Learning Based Optimization of Functional Link Neural Networks for Stock Closing Price Prediction
Authors: Nayak Sarat Chandra , Das Subhranginee , Ansari Mohammad Dilsad
Published: December 2019

Background and Objective:

Stock closing price prediction is enormously complicated.
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are excellent approximation algorithms applied to this area.
Several nature-inspired evolutionary optimization techniques are proposed and used in the literature
to search the optimum parameters of ANN based forecasting models. However, most of them
need fine-tuning of several control parameters as well as algorithm specific parameters to achieve
optimal performance. Improper tuning of such parameters either leads toward additional computational
cost or local optima.

Methods:

Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) is a newly proposed algorithm which
does not necessitate any parameters specific to it. The intrinsic capability of Functional Link Artificial
Neural Network (FLANN) to recognize the multifaceted nonlinear relationship present in
the historical stock data made it popular and got wide applications in the stock market prediction.
This article presents a hybrid model termed as Teaching Learning Based Optimization of Functional
Neural Networks (TLBO-FLN) by combining the advantages of both TLBO and FLANN.

Results and Conclusion:

The model is evaluated by predicting the short, medium, and long-term
closing prices of four emerging stock markets. The performance of the TLBO-FLN model is
measured through Mean Absolute Percentage of Error (MAPE), Average Relative Variance
(ARV), and coefficient of determination (R2); compared with that of few other state-of-the-art
models similarly trained and found superior.

Authors: Hakimi Fatemeh , Movahhed Mina , Yaghmaei Farideh , Alipour Abbas
Published: December 2019

Background:

Temperament (mizaj), prakruti and zheng are equivalent basic concepts
in different traditional medical schools. In Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM), Liver
distemperament is one of the liver diseases not yet objectively defined.

Objectives:

The present study aims to explain the concept of dry liver dystemperament in
Iranian Traditional Medicine.

Methods:

This study is a qualitative research based on a hybrid model of concept analysis.
In literature review, 11 major academic textbooks of PhD students of ITM as well as, recent
investigations were reviewed. In addition, 16 ITM experts were interviewed to collect empirical
data. The data were analyzed using MAXQDA10 software and categorized based on
conventional content analysis.

Result:

Here, dry dystemperament of the liver was classified into three main themes of systemic,
local, and Para-clinical symptoms and 10 categories. Phenotypic features, skin color,
dryness or stiffness in mucus, skin and subcutaneous tissue touch, general or gastrointestinal
dysfunction; especially thirst and systemic impressibility speed were the most important
clinical diagnostic criteria.

Conclusion:

In this study, a new definition was presented for dry liver dystemperament.
Based on the results, there were some scattered symptoms in textbooks, which were of the
same importance. However, in empirical phase, the experts of traditional medicine stated
that in clinical diagnosis, some signs or symptoms are more important for them. The concept
of dry liver dystemperament was classified into 10 categories which were the same as dysfunction
in 10 categories that mentioned for general temperament.
Complex multi-range aggregate spectral measurements for environmental objects: optimization and synthesis of measurement procedures
Authors: Asadov Kh. G. , Dzhakhidzade Sh. N.
Published: December 2019

The research aims at a synthesis of new complex procedures for multi-range aggregate spectral measurements of environmental objects, for which both the absorption spectrum and reflectivity spectrum are typical. As a basic research methodology, we have applied the vibrational optimization to calculate an optimal shape of introduced interconnections between main operational parameters of the measurement experiment. Authors have shown that, in considerations of absorption spectrum for the objects in question, we can estimate results of aggregate multispectral measurements with the new indicator of reliability, expressed by the signal-to-noise ratio at outputs of spectral channels in the multispectral meter. Having summed up the indicator values for each measuring spectral channel and replacing the objects that we are exploring with the hohlraum model described with the Planck function, we obtain the formula to find the best relationship between the standard means-square deviation of noises and model function. Based on the mentioned best relationship, we have found the best dependence of the standard means-square deviation of noises on the wavelength and absolute temperature. Authors have shown that in terms of the best mode and with certain values of the wavelength, the standard means-square deviation of noises might have the highest value, i. e., reliability of the measurement result will be the lowest in case of this wavelength. With regard to environmental objects that have the reflectivity spectrum, authors gave the general characteristics of aggregate two-wave measurements for chlorophyll of plants, described with mutually inverse spectral parameters. There is the estimate of the higher signal-to-noise ratio in terms of the mentioned type of aggregate two-wave measurements compared to single-wave ones. The authors have stated and solved the problem of the best choice of weight coefficients in terms of essential attenuations in measuring channels.
Evaluation of time characteristics of the majority treatment of synchronizing information in PRS-oriented MAC multiple access protocols
Authors: Podoltsev V. V.
Published: December 2019

To select the synchronization system parameters that provide the best efficiency, it is necessary to obtain temporal characteristics; for this purpose, the authors estimated the average search time for a pseudo-random sequence (PRS) through solving the problem of system analysis of the time characteristics of the majority processing of synchronization information. The article formulated and solved the problem of analyzing time characteristics for the synchronization method of the PRS based on the majority processing of the PRS segments, in which it was required to find the average search time for the PRS. Analytical relationships were obtained for the average search time of the memory bandwidth, calculations and systematic analysis of the results were performed. It is shown that an increase in the length of the processed segment (test segment) will inevitably lead to an increase in the time the system enters synchronization, due to the reception of additional PSP bits involved in the checks.
Determination of the parameters of a four-point partially coherent model of radar object based on its equivalence to a five-point non-coherent model
Authors: Podkopayev A. O. , Stepanov M. A. , Tyrykin S. V.
Published: December 2019

The problem of determining the parameters of a four-point partially coherent model of radar object based on its equivalence to a five-point non-coherent model was solved. The obtained analytical relations describe the spectral and correlation characteristics of signals delivered to the emitters of the four-point partially coherent model of the matrix simulator emitting statistically dependent normal random processes. Correlations are defined based on the equivalence of a four-point model emitting correlated signals and five-point model emitting uncorrelated signals. Moreover, the projections of an original five-point non-coherent model onto two mutually orthogonal coordinate axes are reviewed. Based on that, the projections onto the same axes of a four-point partially coherent model are derived. Expressions relating to the derived projections and required four-point partially coherent model are obtained. Conditions that are necessary for the synthesis of an adequate five-point non-coherent distributed radar target geometric model are described. Based on them, the limitations within which a transition from non-coherent five-point models to partially coherent four-point models is possible are formulated. The obtained theoretical results are confirmed by software modeling.

Obtaining digital evidence in the global world
Authors: Verdelho Pedro
Published: December 2019

Gathering evidence in criminal proceedings is becoming more complicated each day. Cases are no longer merely national in nature. Nowadays most of the cases require obtaining evidence from global Internet service providers. This means that evidence from a crime may be found anywhere. The Budapest Convention addresses this issue, in Article 32, allowing the competent authorities of a State Party to seek data in another’s Party territory, in limited circumstances. The Portuguese law goes beyond those limited cases, allowing Portuguese authorities to extend searches beyond the physical and political borders of Portugal, no matter where the data may physically be stored. The drafting process of a Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention is currently ongoing. It is expected that this exercise will allow State Parties to the Budapest Convention to seek an agreement on a number of issues regarding obtaining evidence from the cloud, such as loss of location, or transborder searches, or direct cooperation with providers in other jurisdictions, amongst others.

Arranjos Institucionais de Políticas Públicas: aprendizados a partir de casos do Brasil
Authors: Lotta Gabriela Spanghero , Vaz José Carlos
Published: December 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar arranjos Institucionais Complexos recentemente implementados no Brasil que tem inovado no desenho de formulação e implementação das políticas, buscando promover o envolvimento e a coordenação horizontal (entre os setores de políticas), vertical (entre entes federativos) ou com outras organizações ou sociedade para alcançar a efetividade das políticas públicas. A hipótese é de que, embora ainda não consolidadas, as experiências de novos arranjos apontam para um movimento de mudança que passa de um formato de gestão baseado em visão, hierarquizada, funcional, setorial para modelo mais transversal, intersetorial, sistêmico, com algum grau de participação dos vários atores envolvidos e voltado à efetividade.
Variações setoriais em arranjos de implementação de programas federais
Authors: Pires Roberto Rocha Coelho , Gomide Alexandre de Ávila
Published: December 2019

Resumo:O presente artigo busca compreender de que forma atores burocráticos (nas diversas esferas de governo), políticos e não governamentais (i.e. setor privado, sociedade civil) têm atuado e interagido na produção de políticas públicas no Brasil contemporâneo. Para tal, parte dos debates na literatura sobre governança e capacidades estatais para então descrever e analisar os arranjos institucionais de implementação de oito políticas prioritárias para o governo federal brasileiro. Com base em uma análise comparativa dos casos (QCA) são identificadas e discutidas (a) as semelhanças que caracterizam o “estilo” de governança que tem marcado a condução de políticas pela burocracia federal; e (b) as distinções associadas às áreas temáticas nas quais as políticas se enquadram, sugerindo variações setoriais importantes no modelo mais geral. Os achados avançam nossa compreensão das formas contemporâneas de atuação da burocracia governamental brasileira.Palavras-chave: burocracia; arranjos institucionais; implementação.

A composição da alta burocracia no Brasil e no Chile à luz das dimensões da legitimidade e do desempenho
Authors: Alessio Maria Fernanda , Ambrozio Lucas
Published: December 2019

Desempenho e legitimidade são temas clássicos da literatura sobre burocracia. Entretanto, grande parte da produção acadêmica sobre o tema na América Latina baseia-se em referenciais conceituais relacionados ao funcionamento da burocracia em períodos autoritários. A experiência democrática vem se consolidando há mais de duas décadas na região e representa uma rica oportunidade para a realização de novos estudos, principalmente daqueles que buscam extrapolar a análise de um único governo nacional. Nesse sentido, este trabalho propõe, a partir da análise dos casos empíricos chileno e brasileiro, estudar duas formas de composição dos cargos da alta burocracia, entre diversas existentes, por meio dos estudos de caso dos Altos Directivos Públicos no Chile e dos Especialistas em Políticas Públicas e Gestão Governamental no Brasil. As duas dimensões analíticas são: desempenho governamental e legitimidade. A tese apresentada como síntese das análises é a da tecnificação da política, no caso chileno, e da politização da burocracia, no brasileiro, ambas tratadas sob uma perspectiva histórica. O referencial metodológico adotado baseia-se em análise qualitativa exploratória dos casos, operacionalizada por revisão da literatura, análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas com burocratas.
A quantas anda a gestão de recursos humanos no setor público brasileiro? Um ensaio a partir das (dis)funções do processo de recrutamento e seleção – os concursos públicos
Authors: Coelho Fernando de Souza , Menon Isabela de Oliveira
Published: December 2019

Este artigo é um balanço sobre a gestão de recursos humanos (GRH) no setor público brasileiro, considerada como área funcional da administração pública e, portanto, como uma das dimensões para uma política pública de gestão. Após algumas provocações na introdução que problematizam a gestão de pessoas nos governos e nas organizações públicas no Brasil, o artigo analisa o processo de recrutamento e seleção, baseado no instituto do concurso público, como uma proxy das disfunções na GRH – assinalada pelo exacerbado foco jurídico e por falhas de natureza gerencial. Trata-se de um ensaio que abaliza a existência de um círculo vicioso do concurso público no país, argumenta sobre o anacronismo do modelo vigente dos certames e aponta alguns problemas oriundos da desintegração entre os subsistemas de ingresso no serviço público.
Abordagens teóricas no campo de política pública no Brasil e no exterior: do fato à complexidade
Authors: Farah Marta Ferreira Santos
Published: December 2019

Análise da trajetória do campo de política pública no Brasil e de seus principais desafios, a partir de um de seus subcampos, o de estudos de políticas públicas. O artigo considera a vertente de estudos que se desenvolveu com foco no processo. Após apresentar as principais teorias de política pública, analisa-se a trajetória dos estudos de políticas no Brasil. O artigo destaca, nas teorias contemporâneas, a incorporação da complexidade e da presença de atores não estatais; o deslocamento dos estudos do processo decisório (da formulação) para outras “etapas” do processo; e o reconhecimento da importância de instituições, da política e de ideias e valores na determinação da ação estatal. Mostra ainda como, na expansão recente da produção nacional sobre políticas, apesar da tendência à dispersão e à fragmentação, foram incorporadas abordagens teóricas contemporâneas. E destaca, dentre os desafios, fatores do ambiente político-institucional que podem comprometer a institucionalização do campo.
Percepções sobre (des)igualdade de gênero: estudo comparativo entre civis e policiais
Authors: Almeida Carla Cecília Rodrigues , Souza Marcos Aparecido de , Gimenes Éder Rodrigo
Published: December 2019

O artigo compara as percepções de civis e militares no que diz respeito aos atributos que esses dois grupos associam a homens e mulheres e às atitudes que nutrem sobre o princípio da igualdade de gênero. Para tanto, dialoga com contribuições da teoria feminista e dos estudos sobre cultura policial. Os dados provêm de surveys aplicados a amostras representativas de cidadãos civis do Município de Maringá (PR) e de policiais militares do mesmo estado. Identificamos que as imagens construídas sobre homens e mulheres e posições favoráveis à igualdade de gênero são semelhantes entre civis e policiais. O gênero dos respondentes é relevante no sentido de que mulheres apresentam maior propensão à igualdade, e elementos específicos da cultura policial influenciam posições sobre igualdade de gênero, tornando os homens ainda menos dispostos no que se refere a esse assunto quando o tema abordado diz respeito às rotinas de trabalho na instituição.
Capacidade estatal e eficácia na política de atenção a crianças e adolescentes
Authors: Miranda Geralda Luiza , Oliveira Valéria Cristina de
Published: December 2019

O artigo analisa a eficácia do serviço de acolhimento institucional para crianças e adolescentes em situação de risco na realização das metas de excepcionalidade e provisoriedade da medida, preconizadas pelo ECA. O argumento é o de que essa eficácia relaciona-se com a capacidade das burocracias, derivada de seu arranjo institucional. A análise sustenta-se na discussão teórica desse arranjo, no mapeamento de sua tradução operacional e na avaliação da configuração do provimento do serviço. Os dados que subsidiam a análise são os do Censo Suas, complementados por informações coletadas em um estudo de caso. Verifica-se que, em perspectiva histórica, o acolhimento institucional se tornou uma medida bem menos recorrente, mas ainda não é excepcional, e que a provisoriedade está relacionada com a natureza, localização e tempo de implantação das unidades, com a capacidade e configuração das burocracias e com o perfil das crianças e adolescentes.
Uma proposta metodológica para análise política e institucional de consórcios públicos como espaços de gestão compartilhada de políticas
Authors: Brito Alexsandro Sousa
Published: December 2019

Os consórcios públicos são conhecidos pela capacidade de arregimentar entidades públicas e privadas em torno de um problema comum, que, dificilmente lograria solução pela ação isolada de um único ente. Este artigo sugere parâmetros para análise de implementação de consórcios públicos. Propõe, a partir da construção desses parâmetros, a identificação dos consórcios não apenas como instrumentos de política mas também como uma política de produção de políticas, ou como uma política de estruturação democrática de política públicas. Os parâmetros são indicadores da capacidade desses arranjos em produzir políticas públicas compartilhadas, à medida que o desenho institucional dos consórcios pode favorecer ou não a estruturação democrática dessas ações. Nesse sentido, a análise feita aqui insere a discussão dos consórcios públicos na análise de políticas públicas, mais especificamente na análise de implementação de políticas. Assim, buscou-se compreender os modelos clássicos de implementação de políticas públicas e propor uma estratégia de análise de implementação que sopesasse o aspecto democrático-participativo no processo de construção dos consórcios.
Por uma agenda brasileira de estudos sobre implementação de políticas públicas
Authors: Lotta Gabriela Spanghero , Nunes Ana Carolina , Cavalcanti Sergio , Ferreira Daniela Damiati , Bonat Juliana
Published: December 2019

O artigo tem como objetivo propor uma agenda de estudos no campo de implementação de políticas públicas à luz de análises das lacunas da literatura nacional e das correntes analíticas internacionais. Apresenta, portanto, o estado da arte desses estudos na literatura internacional da última década, a partir do qual são identificadas temáticas que abordam a implementação a partir de diferentes perspectivas e modelos analíticos: accountability e transparência, estruturas de governança, envolvimento de atores não estatais, valores e comportamentos dos burocratas, diferentes níveis hierárquicos da burocracia, discricionariedade e autonomia, resultados de incentivos, estratégias de enfrentamentos de pressões, efeitos sociais da implementação, entre outros. Propõe-se, com base nessa análise, uma agenda nacional que possa se apropriar das temáticas e novos paradigmas e assim aplicá-los às análises das realidades complexas da implementação de políticas públicas no Brasil. Como temas da agenda nacional, propomos: desafios do federalismo brasileiro, implementação em contextos de heterogeneidade e desigualdades, impacto da publicização de serviços, processos participativos e intersetorialidade.
Informações sobre desempenho orçamentário: estudo comparativo das normas orçamentárias no Brasil e Estados Unidos da América
Authors: Antunes Maciel Carlos
Published: December 2019

As informações sobre o desempenho orçamentário dos programas de governo devem nortear o procedimento de elaboração e aprovação da proposta orçamentária, principalmente no quesito alocação de recursos. Para maior efetividade dessa regra é necessária a sua normatização. Assim, deparou-se com a seguinte questão: as normas orçamentárias existentes obrigam a avaliação e divulgação do desempenho orçamentário? O objetivo deste estudo é identificar nos normativos do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos a existência de obrigatoriedade de prestar informações sobre desempenho orçamentário e, para tanto, utiliza-se de pesquisa comparativa descritiva, sob a abordagem quantitativa (Hair et al., 2005; Bardin, 2011). Desenvolveu-se um estudo comparativo entre normativos orçamentários brasileiros e norte-americanos para diagnosticar a institucionalização (Powell; DiMaggio, 1991) das informações orçamentárias nesses dois países. Os achados levam à conclusão de que existe a obrigatoriedade de prestação de informações sobre o desempenho orçamentário, tanto no Brasil quanto nos Estados Unidos, embora não contemplem de forma igualitária todas as perspectivas do desempenho. Inferiu-se, também, que em ambos os países o Poder Legislativo figura como principal destinatário dessa informação.

Authors: Menezes David Curtinaz , Hoffmann Valmir Emil , Filho Helio Zanquetto
Published: December 2019

This study identifies the relationship between stakeholders and critical success factors in the Brazilian Government Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). We have studied two Brazilian Government PPPs using an exploratory and descriptive qualitative approach. Stakeholders were categorized based on the Mitchell et al. (1997) and Frooman (1999) models. We have showed that i) the models are complementary since the most influential stakeholders are also the most powerful; ii) beyond stakeholders and critical factors already mentioned in literature, we have found one new stakeholder (PNUD) and two other critical factor (compliance with recommendations of oversight bodies and budget restrictions). This research has a practical contribution as it identifies critical factors associated with the most important stakeholders, enabling decision makers to design a relationship strategy for dealing with such players, taking into account the factors that facilitate or hinder the PPP structuring process.

Pautas “para el acierto a los gobiernos”. Los derechos en el primer constitucionalismo mexicano (1821-1836)
Authors: Andrews Catherine
Published: December 2019

En este artículo se discute el reconocimiento que las primeras constituciones mexicanas dieron a los derechos naturales. Se señala que los mexicanos debatían acerca de dos modelos distintos en esta materia: el modelo liberal y el revolucionario iusnaturalista. A menudo, la historiografía del derecho insiste en identificar el origen de esta discusión en el Constituyente de 1842 o bien, en el de 1856. En este trabajo se sugiere que las raíces del debate en torno a los derechos estaban presentes en México desde la Independencia en 1821. 
Menjaga Netralitas ASN dari Politisasi Birokrasi (Protecting The ASN Neutrality From Bureaucracy Politicization)
Authors: Perdana Gema
Published: December 2019

The neutrality of ASN and the politicization of the bureaucracy are still issues that need to be addressed immediately. This paper discusses the history of ASN neutrality arrangements; the influence of the bureaucratic politicization toward the ASN neutrality; and the role of KASN in manifesting the ASN neutrality. This paper is a result of a normative legal research, using the historical approach and statute approach. This paper is intended to contribute on the formulation of the ASN management that is free from the political intervention and works solely for the benefit of the nation and the state. In its history, the ASN’s neutrality was highly influenced by the inclination of the legislators. The public officials, whether from a political background or independent, should not place the ASN as a tool to maintain their power. The new institution of the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN) is expected to be able to maintain the quality of the implementation of the merit system. Furthermore, the regulations are needed in order to restrict the access of public officials to conduct abuse of authority, also provide the access to strict supervision from the parties including the ASN’s internal in order to be able to report any form of intervention. AbstrakNetralitas ASN dan politisasi birokrasi masih menjadi permasalahan yang perlu segera diatasi. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai sejarah pengaturan netralitas ASN; pengaruh politisasi birokrasi terhadap netralitas ASN; dan peran KASN untuk mewujudkan netralitas ASN. Tulisan ini merupakan hasil penelitian hukum normatif (normative legal research), dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah (historical approach) dan peraturan perundang-undangan (statute approach). Tulisan ini bertujuan memberikan kontribusi dalam perumusan manajemen ASN yang bebas dari intervensi politik dan bekerja semata-mata untuk kepentingan bangsa dan negara. Dalam sejarahnya, netralitas ASN sangat dipengaruhi oleh keinginan dari pembentuk undang-undang. Pejabat publik, baik berasal dari politik ataupun independen, tidak seharusnya menempatkan ASN sebagai alat untuk mempertahankan kekuasaannya. Lembaga baru Komisi Aparatur Sipil Negara (KASN) diharapkan mampu menjaga kualitas pelaksanaan sistem merit. Selanjutnya, diperlukan regulasi dalam rangka pengetatan akses pejabat publik untuk menyalahgunakan kewenangan, serta memberikan akses pengawasan yang ketat dari para pihak termasuk internal ASN untuk dapat melaporkan segala bentuk intervensi.

The authority of the Constitutional Court in the current regulations in Indonesia still does not fully protect the constitutional rights of the citizens. This is reflected by seeing that the examination that were accommodated only covered the abstract review (there were no concrete cases in the court). This condition causes the absence of legal remedies to resolve the issue of constitutionality of legal norms in the court (concrete review), even though often the issue of constitutionality of laws is precisely found in court proceedings. This research is a dogmatic legal research. The primary legal material usedis the Law of the Constitutional Court, whilst the secondary legal material consists of books, journals, and other relevant sourcesrelated to the issues discussed in this research. Based on this research, it was found that it is necessary to raise a constitutional question so that the Acts that are being examined can be annuled by the Constitutional Court and articles that are considered in contrary to the constitution cannot be used as a basis by the judge to decide related cases that being examined concretely. AbstrakWewenang Mahkamah Konstitusi yang ada dalam peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia saat ini masih belum melindungi hak-hak konstitusional warga negara secara penuh. Hal ini tercermin dari pengujian yang diakomodasi hanyalah melingkupi abstract review (belum adanya kasus konkrit di pengadilan). Kondisi ini menyebabkan tidak adanya upaya hukum menyelesaikan persoalan konstitusionalitas norma hukum di pengadilan (concrete review), padahal sering kali persoalan konstitusionalitas undang-undang justru ditemukan dari proses di pengadilan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum dogmatik. Bahan hukum primer yang digunakan yaitu Undang-Undang Mahkamah Konstitusi, sedangkan bahan hukum sekunder terdiri dari buku, jurnal, dan sumber lain yang relevan dengan masalah yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini. Berdasarkan penelitian ini, ditemukan bahwa perlu diterapkannya constitutional question supaya undang-undang yang diujikan dapat dibatalkan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi dan pasal yang dinilai bertentangan dengan konstitusi tersebut tidak dapat dijadikan dasar oleh hakim untuk memutus terkait kasus yang diujikan secara konkrit.

The article which resulting of the normative juridical research with this qualitative approach, review regarding the return of the state financial losses shall be paid from the payment of substitute money in corruption criminal act can it be optimal? In the discussion, the penalty payment of substitute money has been stipulated in Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption Crime as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001. The amount of payment of substitute money shall be if possible equal with the assets obtained from the criminal act of corruption. If the substitute money is not paid, then the convicted person shall be liable to a prison sentence whose duration does not exceed the maximum sentence of the principal sentence.

The law concerning assets deprivation shall be established as the legal basis for assets seizure resulting from corruption. AbstrakSelain dapat dijatuhi pidana pokok, terdakwa dalam perkara korupsi dapat dijatuhi pidana tambahan, berupa pembayaran uang pengganti. Artikel yang merupakan hasil penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan kualitatif ini, mengkaji pengembalian kerugian keuangan negara dari pembayaran uang pengganti dalam tindak pidana korupsi dapatkah optimal?. Dalam pembahasan, pidana pembayaran uang pengganti telah diatur dalam UU No. 31 Tahun 1999 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi sebagaimana telah diubah dengan UU No. 20 Tahun 2001. Jumlah pembayaran uang pengganti sebanyak-banyaknya sama dengan harta benda yang diperoleh dari tindak pidana korupsi. Apabila uang pengganti tidak dibayar, maka terpidana dipidana dengan pidana penjara yang lamanya tidak melebihi ancaman maksimum dari pidana pokoknya. Oleh karena itu, pengembalian kerugian keuangan negara tidak dapat optimal. Jumlah pengganti kerugian keuangan negara perlu ditingkatkan, dengan melakukan penyitaan dan perampasan terhadap aset/harta kekayaan pelaku. UU Perampasan Aset perlu dibentuk sebagai dasar hukum perampasan aset dari hasil korupsi.
