It posits that different policy networks would possibly produce or condition different policy outcomes in the project. The study uses a qualitative secondary data analysis. The study found: First, policy changes in the project, from initiation to implementation and finally termination, might be explained through the formation and transformation of different types of policy networks. Overall, the networks were characterized by fluctuating interactions among actors and the persistent power struggle between economic, environmental, and societal interests. Second, the networks’ type changes were possible due to two factors: (1) the political context of the 2017 gubernatorial election; and (2) the influences of environmental and societal ideas. Studi kasus ini berupaya untuk memahami pembuatan kebijakan proyek reklamasi teluk Jakarta melalui lensa analitik policy networks.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to identify the food vendor distribution profile of the city of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil, and investigate its association with the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of different municipal regions. This descriptive, cross-sectional study obtained the location of food vendors from secondary data from different institutional sources. The density of different types of food vendors per 1,000 inhabitants in each municipal weighted area was calculated. The Kruskal-Wallis test compared the mean density of food vendors and the weighted income areas. The lowest-income regions had the lowest density of butchers, snack bars, supermarkets, bakeries/pastry shops, natural product stores, juice bars, and convenience stores. The identification of these areas may encourage the creation of public policies that facilitate healthy food startups and/or maintenance of healthy food vendors, especially in the lowest-income regions.

Keeping in view the political shifts in the wake of 9/11 incident, new social and political trends/concepts have emerged which affected the nations across the world particularly the Muslim world, wherein a wave of extremism and conservatism was seen to be set in. In consequence, Pakistan embarked upon to make reforms in the curriculum to avoid that wave. Accordingly, Musharraf government has adopted education reform under the banner of enlightened moderation and introduced curriculum to construct Pakistani nationalism in the context of liberal citizenship to curtail the issues like extremism and conservatism spread under the slogan of Islamization. This study pinpoints the overall impact of Musharraf policy changes upon curriculum and its role in the construction of liberal citizenship. This study uses secondary data in the shape of policy texts and curriculum of social studies. This study uses discourse analysis to analyse policy text and curriculum. The findings of the study have pointed out that the government has introduced modern contents such as life skills and scientific knowledge to tackle prevailing issues by removing biased and outdated contents from existing curricula. This study has recommended that effective policy measures to construct liberal citizenship should only be realized with effective implementation.

Bandeng dan udang merupakan komoditas utama dari hasil budidaya ikan di tambak, mempunyai potensi pengembangan yang cukup besar pada hampir semua lahan pantai di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji profil dan prospek budi daya ikan di tambak dengan menggunakan beberapa teknologi budidaya di Kabupaten Subang. Data primer dan sekunder digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Data primer diperoleh dari observasi terhadap kegiatan petambak di lokasi penelitian dan wawancara dengan bantuan kuesioner terstruktur pada responden petambak terpilih. Data sekunder diperoleh dari laporan hasil penelitian dan berbagai instansi yang terkait dengan penelitian. Analisis finansial usaha yang meliputi biaya total, pendapatan kotor, keuntungan operasional, keuntungan bersih, biaya produksi, RC Ratio, BEP dan masa pengembalian modal digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Ada 4 tipe teknologi budi daya ikan yang dipraktekkan oleh petambak di Kabupaten Subang, yaitu poli kultur bandeng dengan udang windu, poli kultur bandeng dengan udang vaname, mono kultur bandeng dan teknologi intensif udang vannamei. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa profitabilitas usaha budidaya bandeng secara monokultur menduduki posisi tertinggi yang ditunjukkan oleh nilai RC-Rasio sebesar 2.33, kemudian usaha budi daya udang vaname intensif dengan RC-Rasio sebesar 1.88, poli kultur bandeng dengan udang windu dengan RC-Ratio sebesar 1.75 dan poli kultur bandeng dengan udang vaname dengan RC-Rasio sebesar 1.41. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa dengan kondisi lingkungan tambak yang ada pada saat penelitian dilakukan, usaha budi daya ikan bandeng secara mono kultur lebih menguntungkan dibandingkan dengan ketiga teknologi budi daya ikan lainnya.Title: Financial Analysis of Various Methods of Mono and Poly Culture of the Milkfish and Shrimp(Case Study in Blanakan Sub-District, Subang Regency)Milkfish and shrimp are considered main commodities of pond fish culture and they have a great potential to be developed in almost all coastal area in Indonesia.

Natural resource managers need up-to-date information about how people interact with public lands and the meanings these places hold for use in planning and decision-making. This case study explains the use of public participatory Geographic Information System (GIS) to generate and analyze spatial patterns of the uses and values people hold for the Browns Canyon National Monument in Colorado. Participants drew on maps and answered questions at both live community meetings and online sessions to develop a series of maps showing detailed responses to different types of resource uses and landscape values. Results can be disaggregated by interaction types, different meaningful values, respondent characteristics, seasonality, or frequency of visit. The study was a test for the Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service, who jointly manage the monument as they prepare their land management plan. If the information generated is as helpful throughout the entire planning process as initial responses seem, this protocol could become a component of the Bureau’s planning tool kit.

Cyber Crimes

The technological revolution 4.0 brings great opportunities, but also cybercrimes to economic sectors, especially to banks. Using secondary data and survey results of 305 bank clients, the main findings of this paper are: (i) there are several types of cybercrimes in the banking sector; (ii) Vietnam is one of the top countries worldwide having hackers and being attacked by hackers, especially the banking sector. Three most common attacks are skimming, hacking and phishing. Number of cybercrime attacks in Vietnam are increasing rapidly over years; (iii) Vietnamese customers are very vulnerable to cybercrime in banking, as more than 58% seem to hear about cybercrimes, and how banks provide services to let them know about their transactions. However, more than 50% do not have any deep knowledge or any measures for preventing cybercrime; (iii) Customers believe in banks, but do not think that banks can deal with cybercrime issues well. They still feel traditional transactions are more secure than e-transactions; (iv) the reasons for high cybercrimes come from commercial banks (low management and human capacity), supporting environment (inadequate), legal framework (not yet strong and strict enough on cybercrimes), and clients (low level of financial literacy). Therefore, several solutions should be carried out, from all stakeholders, for improving the cybersecurity in Vietnamese banks.

Significant Health

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the most significant health reform legislation enacted in generations. However, politics does not end after a bill is signed into law. This chapter outlines why states were given such a prominent role in the implementation of core elements of the ACA, including the health insurance exchanges. This sets the stage for the question of this book: given that state leaders say they want flexibility and that Republicans say they prefer market-oriented reforms, why did so many states reject state control over exchanges? I outline the four main insights from the case study chapters: (1) the importance of governors, (2) the power of the Tea Party, (3) the ways in which differences in institutional design and procedures shaped policy outcomes, and (4) the importance of leadership. I ask whether this episode supports or undermines the federalism notion of states as laboratories of learning.
