The Use of Violence in Indonesian Police Investigation
Authors: Abdurrachman Hamidah , Ari Sudewo Fajar
Published: April 2019

The tricky part of the investigation process in Indonesian Criminal Justice System is to balance the requirement to successfully uncover cases reported by the public while at the same time avoiding a violation of Human Rights at all cost. To do their duty, the police as investigators are given the authority to take measures such as arrest, detention, search, seizure and examination of letters. In implementing these forceful measures, the tendency of abuse to occur is highly likely, including but not limited on the use of violence to intimidate, evidence engineering, false arrests, maladministration, and other forms of human rights violation. Some of the stages within the investigation process that often use violence as a means to an end are during arresting, interrogating, investigating, and giving detention to suspects. The form of violence in use includes physical and psychological ones, with one of the most extreme examples involving the use of automatic weapon to inflict pain.This study is a result of an empirical research into the use of violence in Indonesian police investigation. We use primary and secondary data sources, including laws, literature, and doctrine, before analyzing the data qualitatively. This research is expected to contribute in further strengthening the principle of Due Process of Law in the implementation of the police investigation process. Even though the principle of Due Process of Law is well known in the Law on Criminal Proceedings of Indonesia, its application is still considered as weak. It is the contention of this paper that the principle of Due Process of Law should be included in the Police Chief Regulation and the regulations within the Code of Police.

This study explored the model of public education services conducted in two countries, namely Japan and Indonesia, particularly in understanding the objective condition of society between the two countries (background/history), then the conceptual model and implementation of public education model in industrial society in Indonesia and Japan. The concepts used in this research were lifelong learning, community-based education, and community learning centers. This research used descriptive study method with a qualitative approach. The data collection techniques used included interview techniques, observation, literature study, and documentation study. The results showed that; 1) the objective condition/Indonesian society during the establishment of PKBM in 1997 was in the economic crisis/monetary crisis. The infrastructure and education system were relatively existing and running. Institutionally, PKBM was separated from the existence of formal education (in this case, school); moreover, the orientation of the program services tended to be on the basic fulfillment. As for Japan, in post-World War II, the condition of infrastructure and social system was destroyed. At the beginning, school and kominkan were side by side by and the service orientation was holistically integrative and for the leisure time 2) the conceptual model of community education in the industrial society was based on the principle of community-based learning, Education for All as well as Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and the cultural values and local wisdom. 3) The implementation of community education model in the industrial society developed by PKBM was through a) The Input Program (raw input, instrumental input, environmental input, process, output, other input, and impact), b) Learning Process and c) Output of learning. As in Kominkan in Japan, it adhered to the three main characteristics which were the information centers, the centers of participation and self-actualization which were open to all ages and circles as well as a place that guaranteed freedom and equal rights, free services, had an autonomy as a learning and cultural institution, had staff, was affordable (accessibility) with adequate facilities and high community participation.

Published: April 2019

Since 2013 with the gradual integration of Ukraine into the European and Global education space, there is a need to reduce the state's financial expenses on specialists training and to change the principles of the formation, placement and performance (this triad represents the consecutive stages) of the mechanism of the governmental order in the field of education. Thereof it is suggested to determine the main objective, namely, prospects for improvement the mechanism of organization and legal groundwork for effectuation of placement of the governmental order for the specialists training for the state needs. The main results of the work became: firstly, the systematization of subjects involved in the process of placing the governmental order for specialists training. It was established that the main organizational guarantor in this process is the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine; the main coordinator is the Ministry of Economy and Development of Ukraine; the main performers of the order placement are governmental customers; placement targets are government performers. Secondly, two forms of administrative procedures for the performance of the governmental order placing are distinguished: 1) the public procedure of the competition for performers of the governmental order; 2) simplified (non-competitive) procedure for the appointment of performers of the governmental order. Within these procedures, organizational (institutional) and legal guarantees of their performance are described. The new achievements of the study became suggestions: firstly, introduction of a competitive procedure in the placement process of the governmental order for specialists training for the law enforcement agencies, as well as the implementation of a contractual procedure of  signing state contracts for the performance of the governmental order between law enforcement agencies (governmental customers) and performers of the governmental order; secondly, to legalize in the law the procedure of conducting a competition among educational institutions of different departments with the purpose of choosing suitable ones for the governmental order performance; thirdly, to empower the Ministry of Economy and Development of Ukraine to agree the provisions of all governmental customers, the work of the Competition Committee on the selection of performers of the governmental order, as well as on the development of a typical procedure for the work of such Committees.

Published: April 2019

The purpose of the study is to analyze the development and branching of the directions for codification and institutionalization of international air law in the context of discussions involving fragmentation of international law. The main task of the work was to determine, on the example of international air law, the nature of the formation and codification of unified international standards in this area and their subsequent distribution of the areas of regulation and levels of specification by specialized subjects of delegated rule-making. There have been used methods of comparativistics and hermeneutics on which, first of all, the comparison and interpretation of the texts of the Paris and Chicago Conventions and their annexes have been made. It is shown that international public law has a tendency of movement from national acts through the level of bilateral agreements to the formation of agreements and regulations of the regional and global levels. This tendency is also quite clearly expressed in the history of the development of international air law. It is also determined, as a fundamental historical trend, the preservation of the dynamic inverse association between the indicated levels in the complication and branching of the directions of codification and institutionalization of international air law. This indicates the need to take into account a non-linear nature of developmental processes of any legal field, including in its characteristics complications, with the support of constant feedback between different levels of legal personality; connection of the subject area of regulation with the specific volume of competence of institutions responsible for one or another level of delegated rule-making, etc. Considering these and other aspects is important to harmonize the problems of fragmentation and to ensure the effectiveness of international law in general and international air law in particular. The connection of the fragmentation of international law is largely due to the uncertainty of the status of individual levels of delegated legal personality and inconsistency of their correlation at the level of international agreements. The problems of fragmentation, which are certainly inadmissible from the point of view of positivist legal thinking, are a source of uncertainty in many important issues that require clear coherence, regardless of conceptual approaches. From the standpoint of postpositivist concepts, it should be sought not so much in substantive codified rules, but in the effectiveness of procedural norms and the activities of the institutions responsible for reconciling the conflict of interests. However, substantive rules must be also involved in new pluralistic approaches to the law, which is not identified with the will of the state.

Published: April 2019

Accounting is business language. A language has two components that are symbol and grammatical rule. Accounting information usually presented as the set of procedures for creating financial reports. Based on framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements, information provided in financial statements are useful to users if it has qualitative characteristics. One of the characteristics is understandability. For this purpose, users are assumed to have a reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities and accounting and a willingness to study the information with reasonable diligence. Accounting information usually presents as numbers and conventional graph. Previous studies suggest that schematic faces is used as alternative communication for accounting information. Existing application of schematic faces is found by Chernoff. In the modern age, people is get used to know emoticon as symbol for communicate easily, so this paper employs emoticon not the Chernoff faces. This research is aimed to know the impacts on the effectiveness between emoticon and traditional figure on presenting accounting information.  The analysis of company net income, current ratio, liquidity ratio, return on asset and earning per share are presented in traditional figures and emoticons. Respondent has to find out which company is better performance compare to the other. Method of analysis are descriptive statistic and differential t-test. Respondents are accounting and management students which are taken by purposive random sampling. The result show that respondents have better average score on choosing the better company using emoticon (88.18) compares to traditional figure (82.72). The effectiveness of financial information is also significantly evidenced in emoticons compare to traditional figure.

Regional autonomy in Indonesia allows every region in Indonesia to manage its own finances. Each region shall be entitled to regulate their own locally-generated revenue, including taxes and user charges. One source of regional levies is from Public On-street parking. On-Street parking in Sleman Regency Yogyakarta has considerable potential. Sleman is a district with the largest population in DI Yogyakarta province of Indonesia. This is because most of the commercial, educational, health and employment centers are located in Sleman. There are several On-street parking centers in Sleman, and the most are in Depok District. So far, the parking retribution system of On-street parking is one of the sources of locally-generated revenue is to determine the value of certain contracts that must be paid by the parking operator to the government. The value of this contract is fixed monthly for one year and will be reviewed in the following year. The value of this fixed contract indicates the number and types of vehicles coming at that location are fixed every day. For example, if the parking rate of two-wheeled vehicles is IDR 1000 and the monthly contract value is IDR 400,000 then the parking location will only contain a maximum of 13 motorcycles every day. In fact, the frequency of vehicles and vehicle types is a variable that is probabilistic in nature. Therefore, this study will attempt to simulate the potential revenue of parking charges by entering on-street parking probabilistic elements. The result of this research is the combination and number of parking vehicles obtained from simulation result. This simulation model can then be used as a predictor of the potential revenue from on-street parking charge so that it can also be used to determine a more appropriate contract value policy.

Public relations (PR) practitioners mainly assumes technical and managerial roles in organizations. However, this study reveals that in order to implement the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (3R) activities, PR practitioners must possess close rapport with the teachers who will ultimately educate the target audiences. Occasionally, these dynamic relationships can derail PR practitioners from carrying out their actual role in promoting public relations. In-depth interviews were conducted at several designated schools to gain insights on how the relationships between PR practitioners and teachers can gauge the effectiveness such a campaign, besides identifying the major challenges in delivering relevant campaign messages. Results show that the relationship is an important element towards ensuring the PR practitioners’ success in developing the awareness campaign. These findings have implications in both the theory and practice of public relations, especially when considering the technician versus strategic manager’s role of public relations and the advancement of the field to support PR professionalism.

Traditional and modern markets are both potential distribution channels for the distribution of locally produced food in Indonesia. The aim of the current study is to gain insight into consumer preferences for locally produced food when shopping at both markets. A total of 300 respondents were interviewed using stratified purposive sampling in traditional markets and supermarkets in Banyumas regency. Factor analysis was used to group consumer towards their preferences for local food. The overall KMO values were 0.746 for consumers who shopped in traditional markets and 0.835 for those who purchased locally produced food in modern markets, with a significance level of 0.000 for both segments of consumers. All individual MSAs also emerged as over 0.06. The results show that consumer preferences for locally grown products are very similar in both markets. Five factors were found considerably to influence consumer preferences in both markets, namely habit, food quality, product availability, the tendency to support local food, and the availability of information and knowledge. What makes the difference between markets is that supermarket shoppers have enthusiasm and proud eating local food product. The total variance for the six factors was 64.245% and 65.705% for traditional and modern markets, respectively.

Published: April 2019

Natural convective heat and mass transfer due to a horizontal line source at an adiabatic plate and plane plume flow are analyzed in the presence of magnetic field and chemical reaction. The case of an isothermal plate and a plate of varying temperature are also discussed. Certain qualitatively distinct behaviours of the transport parameters noticed are - for an adiabatic plate as well as an isothermal plate, the transport parameters have exhibited asymptotic behaviour with the Prandtl number and Schmidt number. For Plume flow centre line velocity has exhibited asymptotic behaviour with Prandtl number and Schmidt number. Transport parameters diminished but centre line velocity of the Plume increased with increasing magnetic field. Chemical reaction is seen to increase centre line velocity/Sherwood number and diminish skin friction/Nusselt number. Comparison of the results at an adiabatic plate with those at an isothermal plate and a plate of varying temperature is made.

Visakhapatnam is one of the fastest growing Coastal cities in India with rapid development of industrial and urban activity. The present study has been carried out to evaluate the Coastal aquifer Pollution and City area Ground water pollution using GIS. Thematic layers have been generated from Ground water quality data and available ancillary data, i.e. for index overlay operations for identification of groundwater pollution zones in the study area using statistical method of point data interpolation and GIS.

The present study is aimed to evaluate hydrogeomorphology, lineaments and landuse/landcover aspects of the study area using the IRS-IC & ID images.  The false colour composition of IRS-IC & ID images are used for this study.  It is advantageous to use satellite multispectral data as the image data in different bands can be exposed to digital improvement techniques.  So the differences in objects can be highlighted to enhance the understanding of the image. Landforms are interpreted on the basis of interpretation element keys such as- tone, texture, size, shape, color etc. and extract the specific information from the false color composited LISS-III sensor images.  Field observations showed that ground water occurs under unconfined conditions with water table at shallow to great depth. The lineament density map to be prepared to understand the impacts on groundwater percolation. The hydrogeomorphology, Lineament and Landuse/landcover maps  are  overlaid  to trace  groundwater  potential  zones.  An integrated remote sensing and geographic Information System (GIS) based approach has been used for demarcating groundwater potential zones. Remote sensing techniques have been used to describe the hydrogeomorphology, land use / land cover and the lineaments of the study area using SPOT and IRS – I D visual products.   Based on this the detailed descriptions of geomorphic features of the area are traced. Great emphasis is also given to the study of lineament pattern of the study area, the land use and land cover.

Irrigation water was supplied to supplement the water available from rainfall, So the purpose of crop production of application of water to soil is the Irrigation.  Due to lack of amount and timing of rainfall, to the moisture requirement of crops and irrigation, It is necessary to meet the needs of food and fibbers, So the raise crops is essential  in many area of the world.  Water features composed of all surface water features viz. reservoirs, tanks & ponds, beels, oxbow lakes, derelict water and brackish water, which are the function of intensity of rainfall, rainfall amounts etc. over season/a year.  The mapping, monitoring of dynamics of surface water bodies were acquire by satellite sensors through synoptic and dynamic coverage of earth surface at frequent intervals.  In FCC water bodies appear as different hues depending on their physical characteristics such as depth of water (bottom reflection), turbidity, etc. Water appears dark due to which absorbs all infrared radiations.  This helps in easy contrast distinction between water and land in near-infrared band.  Mapping, monitoring and inventory of water features over wide areas by Satellite data is a reputed proficiency for creation of dynamic databases.  Our present area of interest includes an automatic approach to capture the water body from a Resourcesat-2 AWiFS (Advanced Wide-Field Sensor) imagery using a Automated Algorithm for extraction of surface water bodies model.  The dynamics of surface water bodies in study on geospatial analysis of the evaluation of water feature sheets for the month of April, 2018 of the study area.  The water features information was generated on geospatial database from the Resourcesat-2 AWiFS image  by using bands of 1.55- 1.70 µm (SWIR), 0.77-0.86 µm (NIR), 0.62-0.68 µm (Red) and 0.52-0.59 µm (Green) for the estimation of the water spread area.  The Water Spread Area (WSA) calculated for each is 11304 ha [1] and [2].

Many research works on Weibull parameter estimation has focused on graphical or analytical techniques, with little effort devoted towards the use of population based optimization algorithm. Accurate estimation of failure distributive parameter such as Weibull is a key requirement for efficient reliability analysis. In this study Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSOA), with particle position and velocity iteratively updated was used to estimate Weibull parameters. Probability density function and reliability plots were generated using the results obtained. Generally, PSOA shows better parameter estimation in comparison with analytical method based on Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE).

The city is a living entity, especially about any urban form; however, the quality of the city would refer to physical qualities. Urban design and spatial planning of the city are good on one hand, and the cultural essence fortified on the other hand. It is important to encourage the strengthening of social capital. Indeed, it is about quality of the city to accommodate quality of life of its citizens. The structure of the physical environment within the city is formed by structural elements (artificial) which cover all elements such as buildings, and various other technical infrastructures connected differently from each other.This study was carried in Surabaya and Bandung metropolitan city and Surakarta city in Indonesia. This study aims to give a description of urban form quality of each city; the perception of citizens of their own city, then gives the reciprocal of capital, social value, the sense toward urban form and space, which shown in their daily activity.The results show that Bandung and Surakarta have urban form quality in the “low” level, meanwhile Surabaya has the “high” level. Surabaya with “high” level physical quality has correlation with “high” level of their citizen perception. But somehow, in Bandung and Surakarta this physical quality level has different level perception of their citizen as the image of the city. The perception of Bandung City Image by 43 social communities has mentioned that Bandung has “high” level. This perception also shown in 40 social communities in Surakarta, that its city image has “high” level.
