Distinctive Role

Israel's press plays a distinctive role in the country's political structure. Comprised of 27 dailies and 135 magazines, some with distinctive partisan affiliation and others committed to political neutrality, it has wide circulation and enjoys considerable political influence.Israeli newspapers were not always as independent as they are today. During the struggle for liberation, the press placed itself at the disposal of theYishuv(Jewish community) leadership, to be used as a political tool for promoting the objectives of the Jewish population in Palestine. Only in the fifties, after the establishment of the sovereign state of Israel, did the press begin to develop consciousness of its distinct and autonomous role in the political process.Several institutions founded by the press itself have moulded it into a politically viable establishment: the Editors' Committee, the Press Council, the National Union of Journalists and the Union of the Daily Papers. The Editors' Committee is the most powerful and long standing of the four. Organised in 1948 by the chief editors of the Hebrew dailies, it functions as an intermediary between the Government and the public in matters concerning important policy decisions.

Pyrrhic Victory

The increase in the powers of public authorities is rightly accompanied by a concern that they should be neither abused nor exceeded. One form of control lies in the judicial remedies, of which the least employed is damages. This is not surprising since, regardless of the loss sustained, the unlawfulness of an administrative act does not automatically confer any right to compensation. Where an administrative act is unlawful because it involves a tort such as negligence, nuisance or trespass, then it is well-established that the public authority responsible will be liable to pay damages to those whom it affects. It is, however, unlikely that one of those torts will be committed where the unlawfulness stems from a breach of the rules of natural justice or a failure to consider all the relevant factors. Nor will they necessarily be involved where an authority misuses or exceeds its powers; for example, by the wrongful refusal or cancellation of a licence. Nevertheless, the extent of governmental regulation means that loss for individuals and businesses is not inconceivable where these types of illegality take place. If there is no right to compensation in such cases, then success in obtaining certiorari or mandamus might well be regarded as a pyrrhic victory.

Research Findings

AbtractThis paper aimed to describe the existence of governmental regulation towards minority groups, especially towards minority religious students at schools in Indonesia. The research was a multi-cases study in any region, among which were: Ambon Moluccas, Denpasar Bali, Jakarta, Bekasi West Java, Manado North Sulawesi, Ende, and Pangkalpinang. The data dug from various informants such as religious education teachers at schools, parents, students, head schools, headboards of the school committee, as well as any relevant documents. The research findings showed that any public schools ruled by a religious organization, such as Islamic based religious organizations, Christian based religious organizations, and Catholic-based religious organizations, were not allowing and denied to serve minority religious students. Meanwhile, the public schools ruled by government tried to fulfill the religious education in accordance with the student religious and by the same religious teachers as the student religion. AbstrakTulisan ini membahas eksistensi kebijakan pemerintah terhadap kelompok minoritas, khususnya layanan pendidikan agama terhadap pelajar penganut agama minoritas pada sekolah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kasus di beberapa daerah antara lain: Maluku, Denpasar, Jakarta, Bekasi, Manado, Ende, dan Pangkalpinang. Data digali dari berbagai informan seperti guru pendidikan agama di sekolah, orang tua siswa, peserta didik, kepala sekolah, komite sekolah, serta dokumen kebijakan pemerintah tentang layanan Pendidikan agama kepada peserta didik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hak peserta didik untuk memperoleh layanan pendidikan agama dan diajarkan oleh guru agama yang sama dengan agama siswa, sudah dilindungi oleh pemerintah melalui berbagai kebijakan. Pada sekolah umum berstatus swasta yang dikelola oleh organisasi keagamaan, tidak mengizinkan dan menolak melayani siswa agama minoritas. Sementara itu, sekolah negeri yang diatur oleh pemerintah berusaha untuk menyelenggarakan pendidikan agama sesuai dengan agama siswanya dan oleh guru yang sama dengan agama siswanya.

Type Ii Errors

The article addresses the conflict of private and public interests on the pharmaceutical market arising in the antitrust regulation. The authors suggest assessing antitrust interventions in establishment of rights and enforcement of laws in terms of potential errors known in economics as type I and type II errors, and negative implications of type I errors, where the innocent are punished. The examples of governmental regulation of the pricing of essential drugs, the practice of state procurement of medicines, the use of compulsory licensing institute are used to address the problem of balance between the private and the public interests, to suggest principles and mechanisms meant to reduce the number of errors in establishment of rights and enforcement of laws in order to develop more efficient model of antitrust regulation.

This paper discusses Stuart Chase and his thoughts on social accounting and the economics of waste and inefficiency. An evolutionary socialist, economist, and CPA, Chase saw waste as the major socioeconomic problem of our time, and argued that industry, the government, and the public could do much to overcome this problem. He suggested an optimal balance between laissez-faire and governmental regulation as a remedy for the inefficiencies of our economic system.

Harmful Effects

Many environmental problems stem from unsustainable human consumption. Accordingly, many studies have focused on the barriers to pro-environmental behavior. The inability or unwillingness to act is partially related to personal values as well as the psychological distance between individual actions and the resulting pollution, which is often perceived as abstract or intangible. In contrast, fireworks produce imminent, undeniable air pollution. The goal of this research was to advance the knowledge on the awareness-value-behavior gap by studying public fireworks consumption and the willingness to act against firework pollution. A nationally representative survey was conducted after the extremely polluting 2017/18 New Year’s Eve in Iceland (European hourly record in fine particulate matter: 3014 µg/m3). Our results demonstrate that, after controlling for the awareness of harmful pollution, hedonic motives predict the purchasing of fireworks and the opposition to mitigating action. Noticing public warnings regarding fireworks pollution did not significantly relate to the purchase behavior. The awareness of the harmful effects of firework pollution was, however, the largest predictor of the support for mitigating action. Despite reporting the pleasure derived from fireworks, 57% of the sample favored stricter governmental regulation, and 27% favored banning the public use of fireworks in order to “protect them from what they want”.

AbstractIf we want psychological science to have a meaningful real-world impact, it has to be trusted by the public. Scientific progress is noisy; accordingly, replications sometimes fail even for true findings. We need to communicate the acceptability of uncertainty to the public and our peers, to prevent psychology from being perceived as having nothing to say about reality.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
