<p>In 2014, Indonesia introduced a more progressive law to ease foreign investment in plantations. This policy seems to resuscitate the legacy of the plantation during colonial times as a source of state revenue. This law however has not signified the increases in plantation companies. One of the major causes has been an inadequate quality of contracts such as lack of transparency, participation, and coherence. In practice, the plantation contract still utilizes the outdated uniform contract based on the 18<sup>th</sup> century Civil Code adopted from the Dutch Civil Code. These have challenged certainty and enforceability. In line with the liberation of plantations in developing nations, the International Institute for Unification of Private law (UNIDORIT) is drafting the universal guideline for a responsible agricultural land investment contract. The guideline aims at providing the model of a responsible agricultural land investment contract. The model contract considers a broad range of social, political, economic, and cultural aspects to ensure that stakeholders' interests are respected while it also needs to adhere to global issues, such as food security, poverty elevation, and environmental preservation. The article is part of a study attempting to explore the deficiencies of the existing plantation contract and to seek the potential adoption of the UNIDROIT guideline in Indonesia. There are multi-facet challenges to adopt the UNIDROIT guideline as the stakeholders and legal counsel capacity are still limited. Those result in complexity during the agricultural land dispute settlement process in which non-legal factors contribute to its success. This article explores to map the potential issues and to propose a model of more effective agricultural land dispute settlement.</p>

Hiring decisions are typically made by committees members of which have different capacity to estimate the quality of candidates. Organizational structure and voting rules in the committees determine the incentives and strategies of applicants; thus, construction of a modern university requires a political structure that provides committee members and applicants with optimal incentives. The existing political-economic model of informative voting typically lacks any degree of variance in the organizational structure, while political-economic models of organization typically assume a parsimonious information structure. In this paper, we propose a simple framework to analyze trade-offs in optimal subdivision of universities into departments and subdepartments, and allocation of political power.

Transparency And Accountability

Money is a necessary component of any democracy: it enables political participation, campaigning and representation. However, if it is not effectively regulated, it can undermine the integrity of political processes and institutions, and jeopardize the quality of democracy. Therefore, regulations related to the funding of political parties and election campaigns, commonly known as political finance, are a critical way to promote integrity, transparency and accountability in any democracy. Political finance regulations must adapt and adjust to political, economic and societal changes. This report contributes to the discussion of the future of political finance by exploring the following trends, opportunities and challenges related to money in politics that need to be taken into consideration when improving political finance systems: • mainstreaming political finance regulations into an overall anti-corruption framework; • supporting the implementation of existing political finance regulations and monitoring their performance; • harnessing digital technologies to ensure transparency and accountability in political finance; and • designing targeted political finance measures to encourage the inclusion of underrepresented groups in politics.

The Village

Banyuwangi Regency is one of the agricultural centers in East Java province and Indonesia. Mostly,Banyuwangi people work as farmers due to the fertil soil and wide amount of agricultural land in Banyuwangi . Thelarge number of people who work as farmers initiating the formation of farmer groups. One of the farmer groups in theSrono sub-district of Banyuwangi is the "Tan Selo 1" farmers group located in the village of Sukomaju and the "TanSelo 2" farmers group in Sukonatar village. The normal average price of one banana bunch in Banyuwangi is between50-60 thousand depending on the type and quality of bananas. Problems arise when the quantity of bananas in the marketarose, the price of 1 bunch of bananas decreases dramatically. The price of 1 bunch which is usually set at 50-60thousand drops drastically to only 20-30 thousand. This is certainly a problem for farmers in the Tan Selo group. The lackof knowledge of Tan Selo farmers about alternative variants of processed banana based products and the lack ofknowledge of the marketing strategies make it hard for the Tan Selo farmers to increase the economic value of bananaswhich have been used as an alternative income for farmers. Therefore, the solutions offered to overcome the problems offarmers include: equipping and improving farmers' knowledge about the variety of processed banana-based foods andtheir marketing strategies, conducting training to make variations on banana-based foods, conducting training oneffective marketing strategies. Overall, a series of community service programs were carried out perfectly as it expected.The percentage of participants' understanding in choosing high quality bananas is 85%, the percentage of participants’ability in processing banana-based foods is 86%, and percentage of participants who successfully sell processed foodproducts by utilizing online shopping sites is 70%

This paper presents the results of pedological and phytocoenological research focused on the detailed research of chemical parameters (pH, organic carbon, and nutrients), risk elements (As-metalloid, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn), and species composition of the vegetation of two different peatlands on the territory of Slovakia—Belianske Lúky (a fen) and Rudné (a bog). Sampling points were selected to characterize the profile of the organosol within the peatland, the soil profile between the peatland and the agricultural land, and the soil profile of the outlying agricultural land, which is used as permanent grassland. Based on phytocoenological records, a semi-quantitative analysis of taxa in accordance with the Braun–Blanquet scale was performed. The study revealed that the thickness of the peat horizon of the fen in comparison with the bog is very low. In terms of the quality of organic matter, the monitored peatlands are dominated by fresh plant residues such as cellulose and lignin. Differences between individual types of peatlands were also found in the soil reaction and the supply of nitrogen to the organic matter of peat. The values of the soil exchange reaction were neutral on the fen, as well as slightly alkaline but extremely low on the bog. A significantly higher nitrogen supply was found in the organic matter of the fen in contrast to the bog. At the same time, extremely low content of accessible P and an above-limit content of As in the surface horizons were also found on the fen. From the phytocoenological point of view, 22 plant species were identified on the fen, while only five species were identified on the bog, which also affected the higher diversity (H’) and equitability (e). The results of the statistical testing confirmed the diversity of the studied peatlands and the different impact of environmental variables on plant diversity.

ABSTRACT: Land use outside its agricultural potential and low vegetation cover in the watershed impair the quality of water used for irrigation and may contribute to the spread of pathogenic coliform bacteria. The objective of this study was to relate the quality of irrigation water with the intensity and type of land use and the rainfall in a vegetable-producing region of São José dos Pinhais, Paraná. Water samples were collected monthly in 2013 from two reservoirs and one preserved source. After collection, the samples were chilled in Styrofoam boxes and transported to the laboratory for analyses of the total and thermotolerant coliforms. Effect of land use was analyzed by probability estimation trees. High land use and weekly above average rainfall increased the probability of thermo tolerant coliforms exceeding the limit allowed under legislation. In regards to thermo tolerant coliforms in the analyzed period, the water from only one reservoir was in accordance with the legislation for the quality of water to irrigate vegetables that are consumed raw. Results of this study are an alert to the local government for the necessity of environmental preservation to maintain the water quality of the county.

La Educación física tiene una relación directa con cuatro de las nueve dimensiones que componen la Calidad de Vida (Eurostat, 2013): salud, educación, ocio y relaciones sociales y bienestar subjetivo. La Educación física aparece como un elemento fundamental para indicadores importantes en la medición de la calidad de vida, de presente y de futuro. Y es que la Educación física puede proporcionar una socialización adecuada en hábitos saludables, patrones de conducta relacionales y mejor autopercepción del bienestar a niños y jóvenes que no son “objetos” de estudio, sino sujetos activos y participantes, como nos plantea la nueva sociología de la infancia. La nueva sociología de la infancia es una subdisciplina de la sociología (de la educación física y del deporte) que estudia la realidad holística de la vida de los niños y jóvenes. En este sentido, también analiza elementos fundamentales de su calidad de vida presente, en relación con ellos mismos. La metodología mixta es una opción global y completa que se presenta como opción muy adecuada en diversos tipos de investigaciones que aúnan salud, educación y aspectos sociales y culturales. Las conclusiones muestran cómo desde la Educación Física y mediante la metodología mixta (encuestas, entrevistas, grupos de discusión, etnografía e investigación-acción), se puede analizar de manera más completa algunos de los indicadores de calidad de vida entre niños y jóvenes, en relación con ellos mismos y en planteamientos intergeneracionales, de presente (de los propios niños y jóvenes “aquí y ahora”) y de futuro (cuestiones estructurales de base socioeducativa).Abstract: Physical Education has a direct relationship with four of the nine dimensions that constitute Quality of life (Eurostat, 2013): health, education, leisure and social relationships, and personal welfare. The New Sociology of Childhood is a sub-discipline of Sociology (of Physical Education) that explores children’s and young people’s life in a holistically manner. Physical Education appears as a fundamental element for measuring quality of life. Thus, Physical Education can provide children and youth with positive socialization into healthy habits, relational patterns and better self-perception of welfare: they are not 'objects' of research, but they are active “subjects”. In this sense, this sub-discipline also analyses key elements of quality of life as well as it studies their relation with each other. Mixed methodology is a suitable methodology in different types of research about health, education and socio-cultural aspects. The outcomes show how Physical Education (through Mixed methodology: surveys, interviews, discussion groups, ethnography and action-research) can analyse children’s and youth’s indicators of quality of life, both in relation with each other and in intergenerational approaches, looking at the Present (children and young, "here and now") and at the Future (structural issues from socio-educational basis).
