description: We have analysed 350 pointed and serendipitous observations of 108 different classical and recurrent novae in outburst and in quiescence, contained in the ROSAT archive. One aim was to search for super-soft X-ray sources and we found only 3 of them among post-novae. Thus, the super-soft X-ray phase of novae is relatively short lived (up to 10 years) and is observed only for up to 20% of novae. Most classical and recurrent novae instead emit hard X-rays (in the ROSAT band) in the first months after the outburst, with peak X-ray luminosity of a few times 10(33) erg/s. The emission, which we attribute to shocks in the nova ejecta, lasts at least 2 years and even much longer under special circumstances (like preexisting circumstellar material, or a prolonged wind phase). We also investigate X-ray emission due to accretion in quiescent novae. Only 11 out of 81 Galactic classical and recurrent novae were detected. The average X-ray uminosity is not higher than for dwarf novae, and some novae are variable in X-rays on time scales of years.

description: Observational studies indicate that the intergalactic medium (IGM) is highly ionized up to redshifts just over 6. A number of models have been developed to describe the process of reionization and the effects of the ionizing photons from the first luminous objects. In this paper, we study the impact of an X-ray background, such as high-energy photons from early quasars, on the temperature and ionization of the IGM prior to reionization, before the fully ionized bubbles associated with individual sources have overlapped. X-rays, which have large mean free paths relative to EUV photons, and their photoelectrons can have significant effects on the thermal and ionization balance. We find that hydrogen ionization is dominated by the X-ray photoionization of neutral helium and the resulting secondary electrons. Thus, the IGM may have been warm and weakly ionized prior to full reionization. We examine several related consequences, including the filtering of the baryonic Jeans mass scale, signatures in the cosmic microwave background, and the H$^{-}$-catalyzed production of molecular hydrogen.

description: Observations and theoretical simulations suggest that a significant fraction of merger-triggered accretion onto supermassive black holes is highly obscured, particularly in late-stage galaxy mergers, when the black hole is expected to grow most rapidly. Starting with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer all-sky survey, we identified a population of galaxies whose morphologies suggest ongoing interaction and which exhibit red mid-infrared colors often associated with powerful active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In a follow-up to our pilot study, we now present Chandra/ACIS and XMM-Newton X-ray observations for the full sample of the brightest 15 IR-preselected mergers. All mergers reveal at least one nuclear X-ray source, with 8 out of 15 systems exhibiting dual nuclear X-ray sources, highly suggestive of single and dual AGNs. Combining these X-ray results with optical line ratios and with near-IR coronal emission line diagnostics, obtained with the near-IR spectrographs on the Large Binocular Telescope, we confirm that 13 out of the 15 mergers host AGNs, two of which host dual AGNs. Several of these AGNs are not detected in the optical. All X-ray sources appear X-ray weak relative to their mid-infrared continuum, and of the nine X-ray sources with sufficient counts for spectral analysis, eight reveal strong evidence of high absorption with column densities of $N_\mathrm{H} \gtrsim 10^{23}$~cm$^{-2}$. These observations demonstrate that a significant population of single and dual AGNs are missed by optical studies, due to high absorption, adding to the growing body of evidence that the epoch of peak black hole growth in mergers occurs in a highly obscured phase.

description: In their book ‘Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness’, Thaler & Sunstein (2009 Nudge: improving decisions about health, wealth and happiness. Penguin) argue that choice architectures are promising public policy interventions. This research programme motivated the creation of ‘nudge units’, government agencies which aim to apply insights from behavioural science to improve public policy. We closely examine a meta-analysis of the evidence gathered by two of the largest and most influential nudge units DellaVigna & Linos (2022 Econometrica 90, 81–116) and use statistical techniques to detect reporting biases. Our analysis shows evidence suggestive of selective reporting. We additionally evaluate the public pre-analysis plans from one of the two nudge units (Office of Evaluation Sciences). We identify several instances of excellent practice; however, we also find that the analysis plans and reporting often lack sufficient detail to evaluate (unintentional) reporting biases. We highlight several improvements that would enhance the effectiveness of the pre-analysis plans and reports as a means to combat reporting biases. Our findings and suggestions can further improve the evidence base for policy decisions.

description: The properties of galaxies are known to be affected by their environment, but although galaxies in clusters and groups have been quite thoroughly investigated, little is known presently on galaxies belonging to filaments of the cosmic web, and on the properties of the filaments themselves. We investigate here the properties of the rich cluster MACSJ0717.5+3745 and its extended filament, by analyzing the distribution and fractions of intra-cluster light (ICL) in the core of this cluster and by trying to detect intra-filament light (IFL) in the filament. We analyze the galaxy luminosity function (GLF) of the cluster core and of the filament. We also study the orientations of galaxies in the filament to better constrain the filament properties. This work is based on Hubble Space Telescope archive data, both from the Hubble Frontier Fields in the F435W, F606W, F814W, and F105W bands, and from a mosaic of images in the F606W and F814W bands. The spatial distribution of the ICL is determined with our new wavelet-based software, DAWIS. The GLFs are extracted in the F606W and F814W bands, with a statistical subtraction of the background, and fit with Schechter functions. The galaxy orientations in the filaments are estimated with SExtractor after correction for the Point Spread Function. We detect a large amount of ICL in the cluster core, but no IFL in the cosmic filament. The fraction of ICL in the core peaks in the F606W filter before decreasing with wavelength. Though quite noisy, the GLFs in the filament are notably different from those of field galaxies, with a flatter faint end slope and an excess of bright galaxies. We do not detect a significant alignment of the galaxies in the filament region that was analyzed.

description: We analysed archival spectroscopic data of AM CVn taken with the William Herschel Telescope in 1996. In the literature two orbital periods for AM CVn are proposed. A clear S-wave in the HeI 4471, 4387 and 4143 Ålines is revealed when the spectra are folded on the 1029 s period. No signature of this S-wave is seen when folded on 1051 s. Doppler tomography of the line profiles shows a clear signature of the hotspot. Using this we can constrain the value of K_2 to lie between 210 and 280 km/s. Our work confirms the binary nature of AM CVn beyond any doubt, establishes 1028.73 s as the true orbital period and supports the interpretation of AM CVn as a permanent superhump system.

Subjects: subject: Urban economics Mathematical models

description: This thesis is a theoretical investigation of the structure of the factory town. The study considers both the positive and normative economic aspects of an isolated town. The optimum industrial state, consisting of a factory town and its economically associated agricultural zone, is also investigated. The structure of the residential zone of the town is expressed in terms of household preferences in respect to consumption of the factory produced good, the services of residential space and leisure time, the allocation of land to transport and transport congestion. The areas of the factory and the town and the population of the town are obtained as implicit functions of the values of the marginal products of land and town population. Expressions for returns to scale in factory production at the optimum and equilibrium points are derived. Some comparative static analyses of the optimum town are presented using the opportunity cost of land, a transport parameter and population density as shift parameters. Conditions for equilibrium in a company town are derived, and it is shown that a general equilibrium involving production in factories cannot be competitive.

description: The neutral hydrogen and the ionized helium absorption in the spectra of quasars are unique probes of structure in the early universe. We present Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observations of the line of sight to the quasar HE2347-4342 in the 1000-1187 A band at a resolving power of 15,000. We resolve the He II Ly alpha absorption as a discrete forest of absorption lines in the redshift range 2.3 to 2.7. About 50 percent of these features have H I counterparts with column densities log N(HI) > 12.3 that account for most of the observed opacity in He II Ly alpha. The He II to H I column density ratio ranges from 1 to >1000 with an average of ~80. Ratios of <100 are consistent with photoionization of the absorbing gas by a hard ionizing spectrum resulting from the integrated light of quasars, but ratios of >100 in many locations indicate additional contributions from starburst galaxies or heavily filtered quasar radiation. The presence of He II Ly alpha absorbers with no H I counterparts indicates that structure is present even in low-density regions, consistent with theoretical predictions of structure formation through gravitational instability.

description: We present the results of BeppoSAX observations of the young X-ray pulsar PSR J1846-0258, recently discovered at the center of the composite supernova remnant Kes 75. The pulsar (plus nebula) spectrum can be fitted by an absorbed power law with photon index alpha_ph=2.16+/-0.15, N_H=(4.7+/-0.8) x 10^22 cm^-2, and unabsorbed flux ~3.9x10^-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (2-10 keV). By joining two observations taken at an interval of two weeks we have been able to obtain a precise measurement of the spin period (P=324.818968+/-0.000006 ms). This value, when combined with previous measurements, cannot be fitted by a smooth frequency evolution with a canonical braking index n=3. With the hypothesis of no glitches and/or significant timing noise, the braking index would be n=1.86+/-0.08 and, assuming a short initial period, the pulsar age would be \~1700 years, closer to that of the supernova remnant than the simple estimate τ=P/2\pdot=723 years. Other likely possibilities involve the presence of glitches and lead to a wide range of acceptable ages. For example, we obtain n in the range 1.8-2.5, if a glitch occurred near MJD 51500, while for a glitch between October 1993 and March 1999 we can only get a lower limit of n>1.89.

description: Dark matter in the Universe consisting of macroscopic objects such as primordial black holes may cause gravitational lensing of distant objects. The magnification associated with lensing will lead to additional scatter in the received flux from standard candles, and too small an observed scatter could rule out compact dark matter entirely. In this letter, we show how the scatter in fluxes of distant Type 1a supernovae could be used to distinguish between models with and without lensing by macroscopic dark matter. The proposed SNAP project, with $\sim 2400$ supernovae in the range $0.1\ls z\ls 1.7$, should be able to identify models at 99.9% confidence, if systematic errors are controlled. Note that this test is independent of any evolution of the mean supernova luminosity with redshift. The variances of the current Supernova Cosmology Project sample do not rule out compact lenses as dark matter: formally they favour such a population, but the significance is low, and removal of a single faint supernova from the sample reverses the conclusion.

description: (Abridged) We have identified a population of faint red galaxies from a 0.62 square degree region of the Las Campanas Infrared Survey whose properties are consistent with their being the progenitors of early-type galaxies. The optical and IR colors, number-magnitude relation and angular clustering together indicate modest evolution and increased star formation rates among the early-type field population at redshifts between one and two. The counts of red galaxies with $H$ magnitudes between 17 and 20 rise with a slope that is much steeper than that of the total H sample. The surface density of red galaxies drops from roughly 3000 per square degree at H = 20.5, I-H > 3 to ~ 20 per square degree at H = 20, I-H > 5. The V-I colors are approximately 1.5 magnitudes bluer on average than a pure old population and span a range of more than three magnitudes. The colors, and photometric redshifts derived from them, indicate that the red galaxies have redshift distributions adequately described by Gaussians with sigma_z ~ 0.2$ centered near redshift one, with the exception that galaxies having $V-I<1.6$ and $I-H>3$ are primarily in the 1.5 < z < 2 range. We find co-moving correlation lengths of 9-10 Mpc at z ~ 1, comparable to, or larger than, those found for early-type galaxies at lower redshifts. A simple photometric evolution model reproduces the counts of the red galaxies, with only a ~ 30% decline in the underlying space density of early-type galaxies at z ~ 1.2. We suggest on the basis of the colors, counts, and clustering that these red galaxies are the bulk of the progenitors of present day early-type galaxies.

description: We have imaged the H92alpha and H75alpha radio recombination line (RRL) emissions from the starburst galaxy NGC 253 with a resolution of ~4 pc. The peak of the RRL emission at both frequencies coincides with the unresolved radio nucleus. Both lines observed towards the nucleus are extremely wide, with FWHM of ~200 km /s. Modeling the RRL and radio continuum data for the radio nucleus shows that the lines arise in gas whose density is ~10^4 \cc and mass is few thousand Msun, which requires an ionizing flux of (6-20)x10^{51} photons /s. We consider a SNR expanding in a dense medium, a star cluster and also an AGN as potential ionizing sources. Based on dynamical arguments, we rule out an SNR as a viable ionizing source. A star cluster model was considered and the dynamics of the ionized gas in a stellar-wind driven structure was investigated. Such a model is consistent with the properties of the ionized gas only for a cluster younger than ~10^5 years. The existence of such a young cluster at the nucleus seems improbable. The third model assumes the ionizing source to be an AGN at the nucleus. In this model, it was shown that the observed X-ray flux is too weak to account for the required ionizing photon flux. However, the ionization requirement can be explained if the accretion disk is assumed to have a Big Blue Bump in its spectrum. Hence, we favor an AGN at the nucleus as the source responsible for ionizing the observed RRLs. A hybrid model consisting of a inner ADAF disk and an outer thin disk is suggested, which could explain the radio, UV and the X-ray luminosities of the nucleus.

description: We report results of a spectrophotometric study of SBS 1150+599A and discuss the nature of this object based upon our data. Our study shows that SBS 1150+599A is most probably a planetary nebula located in the Galactic halo and not a cataclysmic variable as originally proposed by the authors of the Second Byurakan Survey from low resolution spectroscopy. We have further elaborated on the properties of SBS 1150+599A (now becoming PN G135.9+55.9) with tools used for planetary nebula analysis. Our photoionization models show that, in order to match the observational constraints, the oxygen abundance in the nebula is probably extremely low, around 1/500 solar, which is one order of magnitude lower than the most oxygen-poor planetary nebulae known so far. This finding has strong implications on our understanding of the formation of planetary nebulae and of the evolution of the Galactic halo.

description: (Abridged) The Las Campanas Infrared Survey, based on broad-band optical and near-infrared photometry, is designed to robustly identify a statistically significant and representative sample of evolved galaxies at redshifts z>1. We have completed an H-band imaging survey over 1.1 square degrees of sky in six separate fields. The average 5 sigma detection limit in a four arcsecond diameter aperture is H ~ 20. Here we describe the design of the survey, the observation strategies, data reduction techniques, and object identification procedures. We present sample near-infrared and optical photometric catalogs for objects identified in two survey fields. We perform object detection in all bandpasses and identify ~ 54,000 galaxies over 1,408 square arcminutes of sky in the two fields. Of these galaxies, ~ 14,000 are detected in the H-band and ~ 2,000 have the colors of evolved galaxies, I - H >3, at z > 1. We find that (1) the differential number counts N(m) for the H-band detected objects has a slope of 0.44 at H < 19 and 0.27 for H > 19. In addition, we find that (2) the differential number counts for the H detected red objects has a slope of 0.85 at H < 20 and 0.32 at H > 20, with a mean surface density ~ 3,000 degree^{-2} mag^{-1} at H=20. Finally, we find that (3) galaxies with red optical to near-IR colors (I-H > 3) constitute ~ 20% of the H detected galaxies at H ~ 21, but only 2% at H = 19. We show that red galaxies are strongly clustered, which results in a strong field to field variation in their surface density. Comparisons of observations and predictions based on various formation scenarios indicate that these red galaxies are consistent with mildly evolving early-type galaxies at z ~ 1, although with a significant amount of on-going star formation as indicated by the large scatter in their V-I colors.

An analysis of smallholders' rubber marketing in the east coast of peninsular Malaysia

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Rubber industry and trade Malaysia

description: This thesis investigates the marketing practices, marketing costs and revenues of 62 first level dealers and 228 smallholders selected in 4 districts in the states of Kelantan and Trengganu on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Its findings are compared to those previous studies by Lim (1968) and Cheam (1970) on the 'developed' West Coast. Chapter 1 states the aims of the study, then discusses the sample design and data collection method. Chapter 2 deals with factors affecting smallholders' production of rubber. The major factors are holding size, planting materials and age of trees. It then shows how production (output) per smallholder influences his processing and marketing practices. It also discusses the marketing channel for smallholders' rubber in the study areas. Chapter 3 reviews the marketing costs found in each locality of this study and compares them to those by Lim and Cheam. It indicates economies of scale in rubber marketing by constructing cost curves which are mathematical relationships between costs and marketing and annual volumes of trade. Chapter 4 show that dealer's gross revenues are positively related to their annual volumes of trade; this is done by constructing an annual gross revenue curve. The optimum volume of trade is estimated by equating marginal costs. The chapter then deals with the effects of economies of scale on dealers' buying prices, market competitions, market information and dealers' rate of returns. Chapter 5 analyses the relationship of dealers' buying prices and net f.o.b. prices, from January 1968 to December 1971. It also investigates the above relationship during the periods of rising and falling prices and denotes that the relationship in these two periods are different. Chapter 6 summarises the major findings of the thesis and forwards some suggestion for improvements. Among others, it encourages dealers to deal with high volume of trade, as economies of scale are found to benefit both dealers and smallholders.

description: We report on a dramatic transition between a Compton-thick, reflection-dominated state and a Compton-thin state in the Seyfert 2 galaxy UGC4203, discovered by comparing a recent (May 2001) XMM-Newton observation with ASCA observations performed about six years earlier. This transition can be explained either as a change in the column density of the absorber, maybe due to moving clouds in a clumpy torus, or as the revival of a transient active nucleus, which was in a phase of very low activity when observed by ASCA. If the latter explanation is correct, spectral transitions of this kind provide observational support to the idea that Compton-thick and Compton-thin regions coexist in the same source, the former likely to be identified with the "torus", the latter with dust lanes on much larger scales.

From spherical to periodic symmetry: the analog of orbital angular momentum for semiconductor crystals

description: The angular momentum formalism provides a powerful way to classify atomic states. Yet, requiring a spherical symmetry from the very first line, this formalism cannot be used for periodic systems, even though cubic semiconductor states are commonly classified according to atomic notations. Although never noted, it is possible to define the analog of the orbital angular momentum, by only using the potential felt by the electrons. The spin-orbit interaction for crystals then takes the $\mathbfcal{\hat{L}}\cdot \hat{\vS}$ form, with $\mathbfcal{\hat{L}}$ reducing to $\hat{\vL}=\vr\times\hat{\vp}$ for spherical symmetry. This provides the long-missed support for using the eigenvalues of $\mathbfcal{\hat{L}}$ and $\mathbfcal{\hat{J}}=\mathbfcal{\hat{L}}+\hat{\vS}$, as quantum indices to label cubic semiconductor states. Importantly, these quantum indices also control the phase factor that relates valence electron to hole operators, in the same way as particle to antiparticle, in spite of the fact that the hole is definitely not the valence-electron antiparticle. Being associated with a broader definition, the ($\mathbfcal{\hat{L}},\mathbfcal{\hat{J}}$) analogs of the $(\hat{\vL},\hat{\vJ})$ angular momenta, must be distinguished by names: we suggest "spatial momentum" for $\mathbfcal{\hat{L}}$ that acts in the real space, and "hybrid momentum" for $\mathbfcal{\hat{J}}$ that also acts on spin, the potential symmetry being specified as "cubic spatial momentum". This would cast $\hat{\vJ}$ as a "spherical hybrid momentum", a bit awkward for the concept is novel.

Aspects of the administration of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization : an analysis of some of the special conditions for organizing and managing governmental research as exemplified by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization

Publisher: name: The Australian National University

Subjects: subject: CSIRO (Australia)

description: Scientific research has become an important activity of government . It is t he thesis of this investigation that careful attention to the administration of research will significantly ai d in meeting the goals of the research agency while safeguarding the conditions necessary to encourage creative work , The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization of Australia is successfully carrying on basic and applied research to aid primary and secondary industry. I t i s an agency with considerable autonomy controlled and administered largely by scientists . The particular arrangements which they have adopted will, therefore, be examined to test the thesis and to provide further information on administering research activities. The exposition is divided into four parts . Part One reviews the arguments about functions and structure advanced at the times when Commonwealth statutes providing for this activity came under review. It discusses the present statutory structure of the agency, indicating the forces which shaped it. ?art Two describes the actual administration of the C.S.I.R.0., outlining the present internal arrangements for carrying out the statutory provisions . Part Three describes what the scientists consider to be crucial personnel arrangements . The final part, Part Four, analyses and assesses aspects of the administration of the C.S.I.R.O. described in the previous parts - the present statute and its implementation, the special personnel classification and advancement systems, and the autonomous status of the Organization - indicating some elements of the present arrangements which could profitably be modified. From this t he conclusion is reached that the assertions which scientists made ( and implemented) with respect to the C.S.I.R.O. rightly insisted on certain special conditions which should be met in applying management practice to an organisation of this kind, but did not affect the usefulness and validity of modern administrative techniques and experience for research organizations. It i s asserted that some alterations in the administrative arrangements at present in force in the C.S .I.R. o. and more concern for administrative standards and experience would make a significant contribution to the more effective working of that Organization .

The origin and character of the convicts transported to New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land 1787-1852
Creators: name: Robson, L. L.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1963
Subjects: subject: Prisoners Australia

description: This Thesis begins by outlining briefly the history of transportation of convicts from Britain , and legal procedures leading to transportation. Some historians ' views of the convict settlers of Australia are then presented, the methodology of sampling described and a summary view of the number of men and women transported given. Part A of the Thesis concerns the males , examines the number of variables in the enquiry and presents them in tabular form, with some explanation , as the basis of the survey . Variations from this overall view are shown in the cases of the English and Irish-tried men and London felons. Reasons for any differences are suggested. In Chapter III a number of grouped urban and rural counties are analysed and it is explained how and why convicts from certain parts of Britain differed from the overall pattern. The offences for which the convicts were transported are then analysed, and attention is drawn to the principal forms of theft which accounted for so many convicts making the voyage to Australia. In particular it is noted how men transported for ''other larcenies" tended to be young offenders from the cities of Britain. From the circumstances of their apprehension and information gleaned from reports of trials and statements made in Van Diemen's Land, a picture is painted of the origin and character of the convicts , and attention drawn to national differences between English and Irish. Part Bis devoted to a description of the female convicts, and from the circumstances of trials and other particulars it is concluded that, particularly in the early years of transportation to Australia , they were an indifferent group of settlers o Part C concerns the convicts in Australia. Records of Van Diemen's Land prisoners permit a comprehensive study of convicts' lives whilst they were in the hands of the local Administration but data of a different nature in New South Wales enables analysis and speculation of what part the convicts played in society. Extent of marriage of both male and female convicts is discussed. It is concluded that few prisoners in the period able to be reviewed can be said to have done materially well in New South Wales . The conclusion of the Thesis sums up the findings of the enquiry by emphasising the age structure of the sample , number of former offences and occupations . It also emphasises the different character of the English and Irish convicts and finally discusses the reasons for the commission of crime leading to transportation .

The safeguards system of the International Atomic Energy Agency : a study of the international politics of atomic control
Creators: name: Butler, Richard
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1968
Subjects: subject: International Atomic Energy Agency
subject: Nuclear disarmament
subject: Nuclear energy Research International cooperation

description: This thesis is a study in international politics. Its subject is the system for the control of atomic energy - the safeguards system - established and administered by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). I have undertaken a political study of this technical system because the main purpose for which the system was established is a political purpose. The system can be described in many ways A functional description shows it to be a set of technical and administrative arrangements designed to ensure that the atomic activities to which these arrangements apply are carried out within definite technical limits. A description in terms of its technical objective shows it to be a set of regulations designed to ensure that these same atomic activities do not "further any military purpose". Such descriptions are useful and have been considered wherever appropriate. However, the main concern of this thesis is with the negotiations on the development of this system for the international control of atomic energy. These negotiations reflect both the policy attitudes and diplomatic performances of the powers involved in them and the role it has been agreed the system should play in the wider field of nuclear arms control.

description: Abstrak:
Hak cipta atas buku dipegang oleh penulis dan pihak penerbit apabila memperoleh peralihan hak dan/atau izin atau lisensi dari penulis sebagai pemegang hak yang sah untuk mendistribusikan dan menjual buku tersebut. Di Indonesia, halhal yang berkaitan dengan hak cipta diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta (UUHC 2014). Selain dengan menggunakan secara normatif seperti yang diamanatkan dalam UUHC 2014, subyek hukum di Indonesia sebagai negara yang telah meratifikasi The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, dapat pula menerapkan lisensi Creative Commons (CC) pada suatu ciptaan. Penggunaan lisensi ini masih merupakan hal baru di Indonesia. Penelitian pada penulisan hukum ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif atau penelitian kepustakaan dan empiris atau penelitian lapangan, yang kemudian disebut sebagai penelitian normatif-empiris. Dalam studi pustaka, tinjauan literatur dilakukan pada undang-undang, peraturan, dan literatur lainnya. Penelitian lapangan dilakukan dengan mewawancari narasumber dari beberapa lembaga, yaitu KUNCI Publication, dan Lembaga Studi dan Advokasi Masyarakat (ELSAM) selaku penerbit buku yang menerapkan lisensi CC pada tiap terbitannya, kemudian Direktorat Jenderal Hak Kekayaan Intelektual selaku lembaga yang berwenang dalam rezim Hak Kekayaan Intelektual di Indonesia. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa penerapan sistem biaya produksi pada edisi cetak buku Budaya Bebas oleh KUNCI Publication dan Perpustakaan C2O bukan merupakan pelanggaran Hak Cipta. Artinya, tindakan kedua pihak tersebut masih memenuhi syarat dari doktrin penggunaan wajar. Penulis menemukan potensi sengketa yang dapat terjadi dalam penerapan lisensi CC oleh penerbit buku. ELSAM tidak menghendaki adanya penggunaan komersial pada karya yang diterbitkan, namun lisensi yang diterapkan tidak sesuai, hal tersebut merupakan kesalahan dalam pembacaan lisensi yang dapat menimbulkan adanya sengketa di kemudian hari.
