<p><strong>English</strong><br />Involvement of farmers as actors to support extension activities have been underway for a long time with various approaches. In Indonesia, it started from the involvement of Kontak Tani (Advanced Farmers) in Supra Insus era, then farmer to farmer extension at P4S, as well as Penyuluh Swakarsa (Independent Extension Workers)” (in 2004), and the latest is Penyuluh Swadaya (Self-Help Agricultural Extension Workers) since 2008. The existence of self-help farmer extension workers are recognized since the enactment of Law No. 16/2006 on Extension System of Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries. However, even though it runs nearly 10 years, the development of the role of self-help farmer extension workers is not optimal. This paper is a review of various posts including the recent research on self-help farmer extension workers and it aims to study the potential and problems of self-help farmer extension workers. It shows that the self-help farmer extension workers have a self-help capabilities and distinctive social position and they have to get right role. Appropriate support should be given to self-help farmer extension workers as the agricultural extension worker in the future and it must be distinguished between the government and private extension workers. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Pelibatan petani sebagai pendukung dan pelaku langsung dalam kegiatan penyuluhan telah berlangsung cukup lama dengan berbagai pendekatan. Di Indonesia, hal ini dimulai dari pelibatan kontak tani pada era Bimas sampai Supra Insus, lalu pendekatan “penyuluhan dari petani ke petani” (farmer to farmer extension) di P4S, serta pengangkatan penyuluh swakarsa (tahun 2004), dan terakhir penyuluh swadaya (sejak tahun 2008). Keberadaan penyuluh swadaya diakui secara resmi semenjak diundangkannya UU No. 16 tahun 2006 tentang Sistem Penyuluhan Pertanian, Kehutanan dan Perikanan. Namun, meskipun sudah berjalan hampir 10 tahun, perkembangan peran penyuluh swadaya belum optimal. Tulisan ini merupakan review dari berbagai tulisan termasuk penelitian tentang penyuluh swadaya terakhir, untuk mempelajari potensi dan permasalahan penyuluh pertanian swadaya saat ini. Ditemukan bahwa penyuluh swadaya memiliki kapabilitas dan posisi sosial yang khas, sehingga batasan perannya mestilah diberikan secara tepat. Dukungan yang tepat harus diberikan kepada penyuluh swadaya sebagai sosok penyuluh pertanian yang strategis di masa mendatang, yang mesti dibedakan dengan penyuluh pemerintah dan penyuluh swasta.</p>

<p>Agricultural extension is moving toward modern one which is accelerated by Law No. 16/2006 on Agricultural, Fishery, and Forestry Extension System based on the spirit of decentralization, democracy, and participation. This progress is disturbed by Law No. 23/2014 on Regional Government. To some extent, the Law No. 23/2014 threatens regional agricultural extension institution existence. This paper aims to review and to analyze the future of agricultural extension modernization in Indonesia. Results of the analysis found that agricultural extension should refer to the Law No. 16/2006. The government should maintain the well-arranged regional agricultural extension existence as it is in accordance with decentralization spirit described in the Law No. 23/2014. According to the Letter of Minister of Agriculture No. 02/SM.600/M/1/2015 on the Implementation of Agricultural Extension, in transition period waiting for the derived Law on Local Government, regional agricultural extension institution is implemented in accordance with Law No. 16/2006. Ministry of Agriculture may keep referring to Law No. 16/2016 because this act is lex specialis. Modernization spirit of Law No. 16/2006 will be reinforced along with the Law on Regional Government to be legislated.</p><p> </p><p>Abstrak</p><p>Setelah dibangun puluhan tahun, penyuluhan pertanian Indonesia sesungguhnya telah mulai mewujud sebagai bentuk penyuluhan yang modern. Kemajuan ini didorong oleh kelahiran UU No. 16 Tahun 2006 tentang Sistem Penyuluhan Pertanian, Perikanan, dan Kehutanan (SP3) yang berbasiskan semangat desentralisasi, demokratis, dan partisipatif. Namun, kondisi ini terusik dengan keluarnya UU No. 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah, yang bagi sebagian orang dianggap mengancam keberadaan kelembagaan penyuluhan pertanian di daerah. Tulisan ini berupaya mempelajari masa depan modernisasi penyuluhan pertanian di Indonesia dengan berdasarkan kepada kajian kebijakan dengan pendekatan review ilmiah teoretis dan kebijakan. Cakupan analisis dibatasi kepada kedua kebijakan tersebut, yakni UU Penyuluhan dan UU Pemerintahan Daerah, berkenaan dengan eksistensi kelembagaan penyuluhan pertanian di daerah. Hasil analisis mendapatkan bahwa seharusnya penyuluhan pertanian tetap dijalankan dengan berpedoman kepada UU SP3. Keberadaan kelembagaan penyuluhan pertanian di daerah yang sudah tertata baik seharusnya tidak perlu diubah karena sesungguhnya sejalan dengan semangat desentralisasi yang diusung oleh UU Pemerintahan Daerah ini. Sesuai dengan Surat Menteri Pertanian No. 02/SM.600/M/1/2015 perihal Penyelenggaraan Penyuluhan Pertanian, dalam masa transisi menunggu turunan UU tentang Pemda, kelembagaan dan operasional penyuluhan di daerah tetap berjalan sebagaimana biasa dengan berpedoman kepada UU SP3. Kementerian Pertanian dapat tetap berpegang kepada UU SP3 dengan argumentasi bahwa UU ini bersifat lex specialis. Sesungguhnya semangat modernisasi dari UU Penyuluhan akan dikuatkan dengan kelahiran UU tentang Pemda tersebut.ri UU Penyuluhan akan dikuatkan dengan kelahiran UU tentang Pemda tersebut.</p>

Drawing upon Kant’s analysis of the role of intuitions in our orientation towards knowledge, this paper analyses four points of departure in thinking about dignity: self, other, time and space. Each reveals a core area of normative discourse – authenticity in the self, respect for the other, progress through time and authority as the government of space – along with related grounds of resistance to dignity. The paper concludes with a discussion of the methodological challenge presented by our different dignitarian intuitions, in particular the role of universality in testing and cohering our intuitions.

Purpose Bottlenecked by rural underdevelopment, China’s overall development is bound to be inadequate and unbalanced. Through a brief retrospect of the reform directed against the “equalitarianism (egalitarianism)” in China’s rural areas, as well as the Chinese Government’s conceptual transformation and systemic construction and improvement thereof, the purpose of this paper is to clarify the panoramic significance of rural reform; the necessity, priority, and long-term nature of the current rural development; and the important role of public policy in doing so. It also looks ahead to consider the prospects for future rural reform. Design/methodology/approach This paper first reviews the rural reforms that were carried out in 1978. Second, it introduces the government’s conceptual change regarding rural reform and the establishment and improvement of the system that underlies it. Finally, the future of rural reform is envisaged. Findings The initial rural reforms brought extensive and profound changes to China’s rural areas. The experience of rural reform has been referred to and escalated by other fields of study. Hence, rural reforms have become something of global significance. Moreover, since the government can undertake reforms well beyond the reach of farmers, its views must be modified in a timely manner, and only then may it reasonably construct and improve the system pertaining to the “three rural issues (agriculture, rural areas, and farmers).” Originality/value This paper reviews the rural reforms carried out in 1978. It introduces the government’s change of concept with respect to rural reforms and the establishment and improvement of the system based on the “three rural issues,” thus looking forward to the future of rural reforms. The findings of this paper are of significance to the formulation of future agricultural policies.

The English scheme of arrangement process has, in many ways, proved a reliable friend to distressed companies and their majority finance creditors in the decade following the financial crisis. However, experience of using the scheme process to achieve a debt restructuring has highlighted a number of areas where it could be improved for the present, or to make it more adaptable in the future. This article was written at a time when the Insolvency Service had launched a review of the corporate insolvency framework in the UK (and published many of the responses which it has received to the consultation), and the European Commission had published a proposal for a new Directive setting minimum harmonisation standards for restructuring law. Both the consultation and the proposal have significant implications for the reform agenda, and the Government has published its response to the UK consultation just as this article is going to press. This paper focuses on the introduction of a preliminary moratorium as a gateway to restructuring efforts, the crucial question of how to value the enterprise if a cram down mechanism is introduced and the role of the insolvency practitioner in the scheme context.

The present governmental reforms of the National Health Service are the most far-reaching to date and have fundamental implications for health professionals. The focus of this article is to raise some of these issues in relation to occupational therapy. The introduction of trusts, the purchaser/provider split and the internal market are some of the mechanisms by which the government hoped to tackle the funding crisis of the late 1980s. These reforms have been operating since 1991, but little has been published on the impact of the self-governing trust movement on occupational therapy. Some observations on and an evaluation of these reforms are offered. It is hoped that the article will stimulate discussion within the profession about the role of trusts and their relationship to the delivery and development of an occupational therapy service.

The Balakot town and its surroundings were almost totally destroyed by Earthquake – 2005. The government has abandoned this town for residential purposes and declared as Red Zones Region. However, the government fully supported post disaster relief and restoration phases. The rehabilitation and reconstruction phases were carried out through community self-help-based system and partially supported by line agencies. This recovery is neither claimed by government nor desired by the community. It is the product of governments policy, interventions, local economic opportunities, and community self-help-based system. The present study will analyse each step of the recovery through study of the role of different stakeholders and its impacts on recovery process. All data sets are normalized and generalized with regression analysis. This study will generalize the complex process of recovery to reduce the risk of disasters.

Acceleration of food self-sufficiency, especially rice, can be performed by providing optimal means of production, mechanization, technology, and intensive assistance to farmers. In order for these activities to be successful as expected, the government has intensively involved various parties to provide escort and assistance. One of the factors that determine the success of escorting and mentoring farmers is the involvement of agricultural extension agents. The speed of application of technological innovations and the way of working in agriculture can be channeled properly through extension activities. “Jajar Legowo” rice planting system is one of the innovations in the rice planting model. This system has been being implemented intensively in Pagung Village, Semen District, Kediri Regency. The successful application of “Jajar Legowo” planting system was the object of the study, especially in terms of the involvement of agricultural extension agents in assisting farmers in this village. This research employed descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods through survey. In addition, the research also utilized descriptive analysis and scoring through a Likert scale approach and simple linear regression. The results revealed that the role of agricultural extension agents was quite successful in encouraging farmers and their groups to apply the “Jajar Legowo” rice planting system.Percepatan swasembada pangan, khususnya padi dapat dilakukan dengan menyediakan sarana produksi secara optimal, mekanisasi, teknologi, dan pendampingan petani secara intensif. Supaya kegiatan tersebut berhasil sesuai dengan harapan, pemerintah secara intensif telah melibatkan berbagai pihak untuk melakukan pengawalan dan pendampinga. Salah satu faktor yang menentukan keberhasilan pengawalan dan pendampingan petani adalah dengan melibatkan penyuluh pertanian. Karena kecepatan penerapan inovasi teknologi maupun cara kerja di bidang pertanian bisa tersalurkan dengan baik melaui aktifitas penyuluhan. Sistem tanam padi jajar legowo merupakan salah satu inovasi dalam model penanaman padi. Sistem ini mulai dilakukan secara intensif di Desa Pagung Kecamatan Semen Kabupaten Kediri. Keberhasilan penerapan sistem tanam jajar legowo menjadi obyek dalam penelitian. Terutama dalam hal keterlibatan penyuluh pertanian dalam mendampingi petani di desa ini.
