This study was conducted to identify and explain the factors that influence bond ratings in private non-financial companies that PT Pefindo in 2017-2021. Factors that affect bond ratings include capital structure, profitability, liquidity, and activity. Based on the criteria, 85 bonds from 11 companies were obtained as samples. The sample data is pooled cross sections data obtained from the Indonesia Bond Market Directory, and the publication of 11 companies' annual financial reports. So the multiple linear regression analysis method was chosen as the method of testing the sample of this study.  The results showed that capital structure (DER) has a positive effect on bond ratings. Profitability (ROE), liquidity (CR), activity (TATO) do not affect the bond rating. The capital structure effect is not in accordance with the hypothesis because the sample companies use more equity. The r square (R2) value is 0.181 or 1.81% of the effect of financial ratios on bond ratings in 2017-2021 by PT Pefindo. The beta value of capital structure of 0.389 times means that capital has the most influence on bond ratings in this research.

Published: July 2024

Previous observations in the English language learning domain revealed that traditional techniques to memorize vocabulary were insufficient for enhancing students’ vocabulary proficiency. This issue leads to an exploration of substitute learning strategies. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of integrating English songs into language learning to enhance students’ vocabulary mastery.This study used a quantitative research methodology. The study involved 54 students divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 40 students ultimately participating. The control group adhered to the conventional learning procedure and denoted with variable Y, while the experimental group was exposed to English Songs and denoted with variable X. The mastery of vocabulary was assessed in relation to exposure to English songs. The study’s findings demonstrated a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery among the experimental group, with an average score of 82.25, compared to the control group score, which was 63.25. Statistical analysis confirmed the effectiveness of the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000, which is well below the threshold alpha level of 0.05. The incorporation of English songs into the vocabulary learning process not only significantly improved students’ vocabulary mastery but also raised their interest and engagement levels. This study supports the use of musical component as a beneficial teaching aid in language instruction as well as pleasurable learning experiences.

Authors: Torres Gustavo
Published: July 2024

El presente estudio examinó las contradicciones y tensiones entre los discursos de los grupos “pro vida” y “pro familia” y los contenidos del Plan Nacional de Transformación Educativa Paraguay 2040 (PNTE), con el fin de comprender la influencia de las ideologías religiosas y conservadoras en las políticas públicas educativas de Paraguay. Los grupos conservadores manifestaron su oposición al PNTE, argumentando que promovería la destrucción de las familias y la introducción de la “ideología de género”. Sin embargo, el análisis reveló que el PNTE se centra en mejorar la calidad educativa, incorporando principios de interculturalidad, inclusión y enfoque de derechos. A través de un enfoque hermenéutico-crítico, se identificaron contradicciones entre los discursos de los grupos conservadores y la información objetiva del plan educativo. Se utilizó el ensayo analítico como técnica principal, recopilando datos de publicaciones y medios de comunicación entre 2022 y 2023. El estudio destacó la importancia de la familia en el PNTE y cuestionó la politización del debate educativo, enfatizando la necesidad de abordar los problemas estructurales de la educación paraguaya, como la pobreza y la exclusión, sin sesgos ideológicos o religiosos. En conclusión, el análisis evidenció la complejidad del debate educativo en Paraguay, destacando la importancia de un enfoque racional y científico en la formulación de políticas educativas.
DIAGNÓSTICO E TRATAMENTO DE VOLVO SIGMOIDE EM PACIENTE JOVEM
Authors: Pareja Helen Brambila Jorge , Motta Lorena Lex da , Reginato Isabela Cunha , Nogueira Vinicius Denepotti
Published: July 2024

O volvo ocorre quando há torção de um segmento do trato digestivo em torno do próprio eixo, é a causa benigna mais comum de obstrução colorretal (5-15%), sendo mais frequente no sigmóide. A incidência é maior em pacientes do sexo masculino com idade superior a 70 anos, sendo um quadro raro em jovens, mas deve ser lembrado como diagnóstico diferencial em casos de dor abodminal e constipação. Os principais sintomas compõem uma tríade clínica de distensão abdominal, cólica abdominal baixa com constipação e vômito. O diagnóstico precoce principalmente em pacientes jovens é preditor para a sobrevida e pode ser feito por radiografia ou tomografia computadorizada de abdome. A endoscopia é tanto diagnóstica como terapêutica, sendo a descompressão colonoscópica o tratamento inicial de primeira linha, permitindo realizar a cirurgia como tratamento definitivo fora do quadro de emergência. O manejo depende de vários fatores, mas em sinal de gravidade como isquemia, perfuração ou necrose é necessária a cirurgia de emergência. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso raro de volvo sigmóide em um paciente de 47 anos.

Porcine rotavirus groups A, B, and C identified by polymerase chain reaction in a fecal sample collection with inconclusive results by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
Authors: Medici Kerlei , Barry Aline , Alfieri Alice , Alfieri Amauri
Published: July 2024

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of groups A, B, and C rotaviruses in diarrheic pigs from Brazilian pig herds. Materials and methods: Fecal samples with inconclusive results when tested by the silver-stained polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (ss-PAGE) technique were selected for this study (n = 144). Rotavirus A (VP4 and VP7 genes), rotavirus B (NSP2 gene), and rotavirus C (VP6 gene) were identified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: Of the 144 fecal specimens analyzed by RT-PCR assays, 103 (71.5%) were positive for rotavirus infection. Single infections were detected in 58 samples (40.3%), with 34 (23.6%), 19 (13.2%), and 5 (3.5%) identified as rotavirus groups A, B, and C, respectively. Mixed infections with two and even three rotavirus groups were identified in 45 fecal samples (31.2%). Rotaviruses B and C were more frequently identified in mixed (65.2%) than in single infections. Implications: The inclusion criteria for sample selection and use of RT-PCR assays for diagnosis in this study contributed to the higher frequencies of rotaviruses B and C, which are sporadically implicated in porcine neonatal diarrhea. The high rate of diagnosis of atypical rotavirus showed that rotaviruses B and C, as well as rotavirus A, are disseminated in Brazilian pig herds. These results suggest that failure to identify porcine rotaviruses B and C in diarrheic fecal samples is primarily due to use of diagnostic methods of low sensitivity, and not to low prevalence of infection.
Influence of finishing environment on pig growth performance and carcass merit
Authors: Bates Ronald , Edwards David , Ernst Catherine , Doumit Matthew , Hoge Mark
Published: July 2024

Objective: To compare growth, carcass merit, and meat-quality traits for pigs of similar genetic merit finished in two different environments. Materials and methods: Pigs (n = 973) from an F2 Duroc × Pietrain resource population were finished in either an environmentally controlled modified open-front (MOF) building or a non-environmentally controlled test station (TS) building. Serial body weight, tenth-rib backfat thickness and longissimus muscle area, and last-rib backfat thickness were collected every 3 weeks from 10 through 22 weeks of age. After slaughter, carcass, meat-quality, and eating-quality data were collected. Results: Growth rate was not significantly different from 10 to 22 weeks of age for pigs raised in the two different finishing environments. However, pigs raised in the MOF had a greater fat accretion rate through 22 weeks of age, compared to those raised in TS. This difference persisted through harvest. After harvest, the longissimus muscle from pigs raised in the MOF had higher 45-minute pH and lower Warner-Bratzler shear-force values than loins from pigs raised in the TS. Implications: Under the conditions of this study, finishing environment alters performance, carcass merit, and meat quality of pigs of similar genetic merit. Farms with differing types of finishing facilities should account for finishing environment in the development of their finishing management protocols. The appropriate diet formulation, ideal age and weight at marketing, and packer buying program may differ due to the impact of finishing environment on pig performance and carcass merit.
Isospora suis infection and its association with postweaning performance on three southwestern Ontario swine farms
Authors: Aliaga-Leyton Andrea , Friendship Robert , Dewey Cate , Todd Cory , Peregrine Andrew
Published: July 2024

Objective: To determine the association between Isospora suis infection and weight gain in pigs up to 8 weeks of age. Materials and methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on a convenience sample of three swine farms in Ontario. Fecal samples were collected from randomly selected piglets from each of 72 litters and examined for oocysts using centrifugal floatation. Piglet weight was recorded six times, during the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and eighth weeks of life. If one or more suckling piglets from a litter were shedding I suis oocysts, then the litter was classified as infected. A linear mixed model was used to examine the effect of infection on weight gain. Results: Isospora suis infection during suckling was associated with lower weights of pigs at the end of the nursery stage (average 62 days of age). Pigs from infected litters were 1.4 kg lighter than pigs from non-infected litters (95% CI, 1.1-1.8 kg; P < .001). Implications: Infection with I suis during the suckling period can have an impact on postweaning performance. Thus, calculations of the economic impact of coccidiosis need to include the effect of slower growth rates in the first few weeks after weaning, as well as a reduction in suckling pig performance.
Genetic and antigenic characterization of recent human-like H1 (δ-cluster) swine influenza virus isolates
Authors: Hause Ben , Oleson Tracy , Stine Douglas , Bey Russell , Simonson Randy
Published: July 2024

Objective: To assess genetic and antigenic properties of contemporary human-like H1 (δ-cluster) swine influenza virus (SIV) isolates circulating in US swine herds. Materials and methods: The hemagglutinin genes from 37 δ-cluster SIV isolates were fully sequenced. The isolates were antigenically categorized using a high throughput serum neutralization (HTSN) assay incorporating antisera generated against the four currently circulating clusters of H1 SIV and a commercial vaccine containing a δ-cluster SIV isolate. A subset of the isolates were further characterized with the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay using H1 SIV antisera. Results: Genetic analysis of the hemagglutinin gene of 2009-2010 δ-cluster isolates identified five distinct subclusters with 97% to 100% sequence similarity within subclusters and 95% to 97% similarity between subclusters. Antisera generated against SIV representing α, β, and γ clusters failed to neutralize any of 37 δ-cluster viruses in an HTSN assay. Only 46% of the δ-cluster isolates were neutralized by at least one δ-cluster antiserum. Hemagglutination inhibition assay results on a subset of thirteen 2010 isolates were in good agreement with the HTSN assay, with 38% of the isolates positive (HI titer > 40) to at least one δ-cluster antiserum. There was no measurable antibody titer to antiserum generated from the commercial vaccine or the 13 isolates. Implications: Significant genetic and antigenic heterogeneity exists among δ-cluster H1 SIV isolates, suggesting that either multiple representatives of this cluster may be required in commercial vaccines or that herd-specific vaccines may be required to protect swine from influenza virus infection.
Reproductive profile and lifetime efficiency of female pigs by culling reason in high-performing commercial breeding herds
Authors: Sasaki Yosuke , Koketsu Yuzo
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To compare lifetime efficiency and by-parity reproductive performance of female pigs categorized by culling reason or herd productivity group. Materials and methods: Lifetime records were analyzed for 62,775 females in 101 Japanese commercial herds. Culling reasons were categorized into four groups. Three herd groups were based on the upper and lower 25th percentiles of pigs weaned per mated female per year: high-, intermediate-, and low-performing herds. Annualized lifetime pigs born alive (PBA) was calculated as the sum of PBA in the sow’s lifetime ÷ female life-days × 365 days. Multilevel linear mixed-effects models were performed to compare measurements by subgroups. Results: Females culled for “reproductive failure” had 7.5 pigs fewer annualized lifetime PBA and 43.0 more lifetime nonproductive days than those culled for “high parity” (P < .01). Females culled for reproductive failure in high-performing herds had 34.7 fewer lifetime nonproductive days than those in low-performing herds (P < .01), but lifetime PBA was similar to those in the other herd groups. Females culled for reproductive failure had a longer weaning-to-first-mating interval and lower farrowing percentage from parity 1 to 4 than those culled for “high parity” (P < .01), but PBA values were similar to those in other parity groups. Females culled for “locomotor problems” had 0.3 pigs more annualized lifetime PBA than those culled for reproductive failure (P < .01). Implications: It is critical to decrease nonproductive days in each parity of females with reproductive problems in order to increase sow lifetime efficiency.
Investigation of the use of meloxicam for reducing pain associated with castration and tail docking and improving performance in piglets
Authors: Tenbergen R , Friendship Robert , Cassar G , Amezcua R , Haley D
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To determine the effect of meloxicam, administered to suckling piglets prior to castration and tail docking, on growth and mortality, and to determine evidence of pain reduction. Materials and methods: Piglets (n = 2888) were alternately assigned either to meloxicam (extra-label use) or a placebo injected intramuscularly 30 minutes prior to processing, which included tail docking for females, and tail docking and castration for males. All piglets were weighed on the day of processing (5 to 7 days of age) and at weaning (19 to 21 days of age). Vocalization scoring during castration, behavioral observations, and analysis of plasma cortisol concentrations were performed on a subset of animals. Results: Growth was not associated with treatment, but was positively correlated with weight at processing and negatively correlated with litter size. Mortality did not differ between treatment groups, but there was an interaction between treatment and parity, with piglets nursing older sows (parity > 5) and treated with placebo being 4.4 times more likely to die than piglets nursing older sows and treated with meloxicam (95% CI, 1.31-14.3) (P = .01). Behavior scores for isolation (isolating themselves from the other pigs) and plasma cortisol concentrations were higher for placebo-treated piglets than for meloxicam-treated piglets (P < .05). Implications: Routine treatment of piglets with meloxicam prior to castration and tail docking (extra-label use) does not improve growth, but may reduce mortality in litters nursing older sows. Observations of behavior and analysis of cortisol concentrations indicate meloxicam treatment does reduce pain.
US swine industry productivity analysis, 2005 to 2010
Authors: Knauer Mark , Hostetler Chris
Published: July 2024

Objective: To quantify US swine production trends for sow-farm and grow-finish traits from a large available database. Materials and methods: Data were provided by a data management company, representing annual production of approximately 1.8 million sows in the United States. Sow-farm traits included pigs per mated female per year, litters per mated female per year, total number born, number born alive, number weaned, preweaning mortality, weaning age, weaning weight, replacement rate, culling rate, sow mortality, lactation-feed intake, and gestation-feed intake. Grow-finish traits included entry age, entry weight, exit age, exit weight, average daily gain, feed efficiency, caloric efficiency, and mortality. Results: From 2005 to 2010, pigs per mated female per year, litters per mated female per year, number born alive, number weaned, weaning age, weaning weight, and lactationfeed intake increased (P < .05). Sow mortality decreased (P < .05) and replacement rate did not change (P > .05). Entry age and entry weight increased (P < .05) for nursery and wean-to-finish pigs. Average daily gain improved for nursery and finishing production (P < .05), but not for wean-to-finish (P > .05). No improvements were made for finishing caloric efficiency (P > .05), and wean-to-finish caloric efficiency worsened (P < .05). Mortality for both finishing and wean-to-finish operations improved (P < .05). Implications: Both scientists and producers can use these results to better understand US sow-farm and grow-finish production levels. Pig industry trends from 2005 to 2010 indicate varied degrees of improvement for pig production traits.

Plasma transfer was evaluated as a strategy to enhance survival rates of low-birth-weight piglets. Plasma administration did not significantly affect weight gain or survival rates, demonstrating that plasma transfer alone cannot be used to improve survival rates of low-birth-weight piglets.
Fine-needle aspiration and cytology as an antemortem method for evaluating injection-site lesions
Authors: Wiedmeyer Charles , Fangman Thomas , Schwartz Kent , Payne Brian
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To apply a fine-needle aspirate (FNA) technique to evaluate grossly visible injection-site reactions by cytologic examination and determine agreement with gross and histopathological findings. Materials and methods: Two trials were conducted. In both, pigs were vaccinated with porcine circovirus type 2 vaccine at weaning and 17 days later. Seven days after the second vaccination, pigs with grossly visible injection-site lesions were selected (Trial 1, n = 40; Trial 2, n = 12). In Trial 1, pigs were manually restrained for the FNA procedure. In Trial 2, pigs were sedated and the FNA procedure was conducted using two different-sized hypodermic needles (18-gauge and 22-gauge). After the FNA procedure, pigs were euthanized and the injection-site lesions and lymph nodes dissected and submitted for histopathologic interpretation. All cytologic preparations were examined by a board-certified veterinary clinical pathologist. Results: In Trial 1, the cytologic interpretation of the samples was mild lymphocytic to mixed inflammation. Lesions were suggested to be the result of an immunologic response to the vaccine, not hemorrhage or abscess. In Trial 2, no differences were detected between preparations made with an 18-gauge or 22-gauge needle. Cytologic and histological findings agreed, reporting low to moderate numbers of lymphocytes and macrophages, with low numbers of neutrophils, foreign material, and bacteria. Implications: The FNA procedure described is a potential technique practitioners can utilize to characterize tissue-reaction lesions without the need for euthanasia or surgical biopsy.
Development of Korean-Style Fish Cake Mixed with Lokan (Polymesoda expansa), Physicochemical Properties, and Its Acceptability
Authors: Ghaib Huda Dini , Chilek Tuan Zainazor Tuan
Published: July 2024

Lokan (Polymesoda expansa), a mollusk with high nutritional value, is often overlooked due to its unappealing texture and color. This study explores the feasibility of incorporating Lokan meat into Korean-style fish cakes (KSFC) to enhance its utilization. The minced Lokan was blended with surimi, wheat flour, cassava flour, egg white powder, oil, and water, and then steamed in molds. A panel of 30 individuals evaluated the KSFC with varying Lokan concentrations. Formulation B, containing 40% Lokan, emerged as the most accepted variant based on appearance, color, texture, flavor, odor, and overall acceptability. Physicochemical analysis revealed formulation B to have 71.20% moisture, 2.17% ash, 16.69% crude protein, 0.76% crude fat, and 8.98% carbohydrate content. Lokan addition inversely affected moisture and fat while positively influencing ash, protein, and carbohydrate content. Incorporating Lokan also impacted KSFC hardness and lightness, with increased Lokan correlating with higher hardness and reduced lightness. In conclusion, the successful creation of Lokan-infused fish cakes represents a promising stride in innovating with underutilized resources, presenting new possibilities for diverse and sustainable food products.

Published: July 2024

La educación mediática e informacional en la formación universitaria del profesorado está tomando cada vez más protagonismo en el marco europeo. Este estudio ofrece una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica publicada sobre la temática. Se analizaron las bases de datos de la Core Collection de la Web Of Science y de Scopus. Tras una criba en función de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos, se analizó una muestra de 41 artículos. En el análisis se tuvieron en cuenta tanto las principales características bibliométricas de la producción científica como las categorías emergentes. Se observó que la mayoría de la producción científica tiene una naturaleza empírica siguiendo tres patrones temáticos: las implicaciones de la Educación Mediática e Informacional en la Formación Universitaria del Profesorado; los límites y dificultades que esta conlleva; y las propuestas de prospectiva. Incluir la educación mediática e informacional en la formación universitaria del profesorado presenta múltiples beneficios, pero requiere de la complicidad y comprensión de toda la comunidad educativa.
Jordanian Women’s Quest for Social Justice
Authors: Al-Braizat Hind
Published: July 2024

This research paper aims to analyze the perspectives of a selection of Jordanian women between the ages of 20 and 50 on social justice and explore if ingrained gender discrimination prevents women from attaining equality in Jordan. It tries to pinpoint the factors that hinder or motivate women to pursue social justice in Jordan while identifying their views on the existing opportunities and barriers to achieving social justice. Results reveal that the profoundly ingrained dynamics of the Jordanian social structure—culture, socialization, and gender discrimination—play an integral part in preventing women from attaining social justice in Jordan. Moreover, the results show that collaboration between women and their political representatives in society is a must for fostering social justice in Jordan; it is not enough to rely only on providing a good education for women. Ce document de recherche vise à analyser les perspectives d'une sélection de femmes jordaniennes âgées de 20 à 50 ans sur la justice sociale et à explorer si la discrimination sexuelle enracinée empêche les femmes d'atteindre l'égalité en Jordanie. Il tente de mettre en évidence les facteurs qui empêchent ou motivent les femmes à poursuivre la justice sociale en Jordanie tout en identifiant leurs points de vue sur les opportunités et les barrières existantes pour atteindre la justice sociale. Les résultats révèlent que les dynamiques profondément ancrées dans la structure sociale jordanienne - la culture, la socialisation et la discrimination sexuelle - jouent un rôle essentiel pour empêcher les femmes d'atteindre la justice sociale en Jordanie. En outre, les résultats montrent que la collaboration entre les femmes et leurs représentants politiques dans la société est indispensable pour promouvoir la justice sociale en Jordanie ; il n'est pas suffisant de se contenter de fournir une bonne éducation aux femmes.
Defending Francophone and Indigenous Perspectives in Alberta’s Social Studies Curriculum: The Views of 13 Francophone Education Stakeholders
Authors: Gani Raphaël , Scott David
Published: July 2024

Many social studies teachers have argued that the mandate to distinctively value Francophone and Indigenous perspectives is unjust without similarly valuing other perspectives within Alberta’s K–12 social studies curriculum (Gani, 2022a; Gani & Scott, 2017; Scott & Gani, 2018). Rather than outlining why these two sets of perspectives need to be specifically taught, the current curriculum justifies this mandate based on vague and undefined “historical and constitutional reasons” (Alberta Education, 2005, p. 4). Using an online survey and a focus group interview, Raphaël Gani asked 13 Francophone education stakeholders in Alberta (e.g., teachers, heritage group representatives, education consultants) to justify the distinct attention given to Francophone and Indigenous perspectives in the social studies curriculum. To facilitate this process, participants were asked to respond to quotes from Alberta educators questioning the need to distinctly acknowledge these perspectives. The participants’ responses offered a vision of Canada, a goal for education in Alberta, and a means to achieve this goal. They also offered an original view on the nature of Francophone perspectives, their relationship with Indigenous perspectives, along with how both Francophone and Indigenous perspectives are distinct from the many other diverse perspectives in Alberta today.
De nombreux enseignants trouvent que le mandat de valoriser distinctement les perspectives des francophones et des Autochtones est injuste puisque d’autres perspectives ne sont pas valorisées de la même manière dans le programme albertain d’études sociales pour la maternelle à la 12e année (Gani, 2022a ; Gani et Scott, 2017 ; Scott et Gani, 2018). Plutôt que d’expliciter pourquoi ces deux types de perspectives se doivent d’être spécifiquement enseignés, le programme d’études actuel justifie ce mandat en s’appuyant sur de vagues « raisons historiques et constitutionnelles » qui ne sont pas définies (Alberta Education, 2005, p. 4). À l’aide d’un sondage en ligne et d’un groupe de discussion, Raphaël Gani a demandé à 13 intervenants en éducation francophone de l’Alberta (p. ex. enseignants, représentants de groupes patrimoniaux, conseillers en éducation) de justifier l’attention distincte accordée aux perspectives francophones et autochtones dans le programme d’études sociales. Pour faciliter ce processus, on a demandé aux participants de réagir à des citations d’éducateurs albertains remettant en question la nécessité de reconnaître distinctement ces perspectives. Les réponses des participants offrent une vision du Canada, un objectif pour l’éducation en Alberta et un moyen d’atteindre cet objectif. Ces réponses offrent également un point de vue original sur la nature des perspectives francophones, leur relation avec les perspectives autochtones, ainsi que sur la manière dont ces deux types de perspectives se distinguent de nombreuses autres perspectives en Alberta.

Innovative Pedagogical Approaches in Judicial Education: The Case of a Pioneer Training Programme for Magistrates in Brazil

This article presents and discusses a pioneering experiment of judicial education in Brazil. The groundbreaking course herein described was based on experiential learning and involved creating opportunities for the new judges to have direct interaction with the socially challenged communities likely to be affected by their work on the bench. The pedagogical goal was to enhance judges’ awareness of the manifold problematic effects that come from the highly homogeneous, elite social background of the judicial corpus in Brazil. The findings suggest a tension between the judicial education proposal discussed in this article and the deeply rooted perspectives on the ethos of judges and the meaning of their education. This tension underscores the urgency of intensifying efforts to enhance the capacity of Brazilian judicial education to help judges broaden their sensitivity to social diversity and thus become better equipped to deliver socially and legally high-quality decisions. The theoretical framework for the present study on the topic of judicial education is based on Alves, ‘Judicial Schools’. Journal of the National School of Magistracy, Boigeol ‘The Training of Magistrates: From Practical Learning to Professional Schooling’, Ethics and Political Philosophy Magazine, Fontainha and Barros, ‘The Brazilian public tender and the selection process ideology’. Legal Review of the Presidency, Cowdrey, ‘Teaching New Judges What It Means to “Be” a Judge’, International Organization for Judicial Training, and the works of Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Holston, Insurgent Citizenship: Disjunctions of Democracy and Modernity in Brazil, and Koppensteiner, Transrational Methods of Peace Research: The Researcher as (Re)source are used as the basis for the topics of education and experiential learning. The case study adopts an ethnographic approach based on Clifford, ‘Power in Dialogue in Ethnography’, since one of the co-authors of this article took part in the experiment.

Competition Policy Dynamics: the Influence of Domestic-Specific Factors in a Globalized Landscape
Authors: Mustafa Cecep , Komalasari Rita
Published: July 2024

The primary purpose of this essay is to unravel the multifaceted dynamics of competition policy and offer insights into the factors driving policy variations worldwide. It aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on competition policy by bridging the gap between theory and practice, offering empirical support for observed trends, and providing practical implications for policymakers and practitioners. This research employs the literature study. The analysis reveals that, while there is a discernible global convergence toward economic-based competition policy and independent competition authorities, domestic-specific factors such as levels of privatization, democracy, political ideology, legal origin, and types of capitalism continue to exert significant influence, shaping competition policies in distinctive ways. This nuanced understanding challenges the notion of complete global convergence and underscores the importance of context-sensitive policy design. The findings have practical implications for policymakers and practitioners, emphasizing the need to tailor competition policy frameworks to the unique circumstances of each country. In a rapidly changing global landscape, recognizing and accommodating these factors is crucial for the continued relevance and adaptability of competition policy.
Analisis Praktik Persaingan Usaha Tidak Sehat Distribusi Aplikasi Digital oleh Google LLC
Authors: Kurnia Kana
Published: July 2024

Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha (KPPU) menduga Google menyalahgunakan posisi dominan, penjualan bersyarat, dan praktik diskriminatif dalam distribusi aplikasi digital di Indonesia dengan memaksa penggunaan sistem Google Pay Billing (GPB) pada aplikasi tertentu dan mengenakan tarif layanan aplikasi 15-30% dari pembelian kepada aplikasi pengembang dan pengguna dilarang menggunakan opsi pembayaran alternatif, dan pengembang app yang menolak akan mendapatkan penolakan aplikasi dari Google Play. Penelitian ini di maksudkan untuk mengkaji Bentuk Perjanjian Tertutup dan Penyalahgunaan Posisi Dominan yang Dilakukan oleh Google LLC Sehingga Menyebabkan Persaingan Usaha Tidak Sehat Menurut Hukum Persaingan Usaha Uni Eropa dan Indonesia dan upaya yang dapat dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Indonesia untuk meningkatkan regulasi dan pengawasan terhadap praktik persaingan usaha tidak sehat dalam distribusi aplikasi digital. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif. Menurut penelitian tersebut, kebijakan Google untuk membuat perjanjian distribusi, anti-fragmentasi, dan kesepakatan hasil telah bertentangan dengan hukum persaingan yang berlaku di Uni Eropa, dan tindakan pelanggaran yang diambil Google di Indonesia adalah untuk secara unilateral membangun sistem pembayaran Google Pay Billing sehingga pengembang aplikasi dan pengguna di Indonesia tidak memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk bernegosiasi atau menggunakan alternatif pembayaran. Pemerintah Indonesia kemudian harus menyesuaikan dengan standard yang ditetapkan oleh UNCTAD, yakni mengubah Undang-Undang saat ini dan menghasilkan panduan untuk mengikuti perkembangan ekonomi digital.
A epistemologia genética e a alfabetização: contribuições da teoria piagetiana na aquisição da leitura e escrita
Authors: Lima Eslaine Cristina dos Santos Cardoso , Monteiro Edenar Souza
Published: July 2024

O presente escrito visa compreender como a teoria da epistemologia genética pode contribuir para a alfabetização de crianças nas séries iniciais. Busca-se sinalizar alguns contributos que norteiem a prática pedagógica eficiente quanto a aquisição da leitura e escrita. Há muito que se discutir sobre esse tema, porém a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) define que a alfabetização das crianças deverá ocorrer até o segundo ano do ensino fundamental, delimitando assim tempo e espaço ideal em que deve ocorrer e consolidar-se. Logo, a teoria piagetiana que se baseia nas fases do desenvolvimento cognitivo possibilita a elucidação e melhor entendimento de como esse processo se constitui. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica embasada nos estudos de Jean Piaget, e das pesquisadoras Ana Teberosky e Emilia Ferreiro, concluiu-se que a epistemologia genética bem como a psicogênese da escrita podem ser, não apenas uma teoria que estuda o processo de aprendizagem humana, mas uma perspectiva pedagógica capaz de apontar caminhos para que no movimento síncrono do ensino-aprendizagem haja consideração pela fase em que a criança se encontra.
