In this article, we consider the issue of the status of children of international marriage migrants who are returned to Vietnam following a failed marriage in another country. We argue that many of these children can considered to be de facto stateless due to their lack of ‘effective nationality’ in Vietnam. While the children, ethnically, are ‘half Vietnamese’ their legal status is often precarious in Vietnam as many of them hold a foreign nationality. Although their situations vary, we argue that their cases fall on a spectrum of different degrees of statelessness. In many cases their lack of household registration — ho khau — has resulted in ‘ineffective nationality’, which we argue is de facto statelessness. In this article, we present findings from data collection undertaken between 2015–19 in Can Tho, Vietnam and suggest how law and policy could address the issue. We argue that our findings provide a useful case study for considering the importance of effective nationality, which we situate within the broader conceptual debate surrounding de facto statelessness.

The Status

This research studied the status of political promises declared by Mayor candidates of Surabaya election 2020 during their campaigns started from September 26, 2020. It was field-library research with qualitative analysis. Data were collected by observing online media that particularly reports the election's campaign activities. They were then analyzed by using Islamic theology and jurisprudence approaches combined with structural-functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and social contract theories. It found four main remarks: first, Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions as theological underpinnings have definitely guided moral standards of Islamic politics, especially how to make such political promises. Secondly, the political realism of promises is a language of transactional politics and communication practice. Thirdly, political promises could only be legitimated by fulfilling strike pre-requirements and within very urgent conditions. Finally, the legal status of political promises must be contextual and conditional.

This article is a response to ‘Losing Sight of Women's Rights: The Unregulated Introduction of Gender Self-Identification as a Case Study of Policy Capture in Scotland’ by Kath Murray, Lucy Hunter Blackburn and Lisa MacKenzie, published in Scottish Affairs 28(3). Murray et al. sought to explore the legal status of women, particularly with regard to discrimination legislation, and concluded that the interests of trans women had begun to systematically erode the interests of non-trans women in Scotland. In this response, we aim to correct some of the erroneous statements made by Murray et al. about legal definitions of sex and gender, and about discrimination law. In critically engaging with Murray et al..’s argument we aim to build a much-needed clearer understanding of law and policy on sex and gender in Scotland, particularly as it relates to the application of the Equality Act 2010. We argue that, in that claiming that there has been policy capture in Scotland, Murray et al.. have neglected to contextualise ongoing debates about sex and gender in law against the backdrop of over two decades of clear legal and policy shifts across the UK. We call for researchers and others – in Scotland and elsewhere – to take care, particularly in interpreting and applying the law, especially as it applies to marginalised minority populations, so that we do not further obfuscate or mislead on important legal and social issues.

Measuring precipitation, especially solid, at high latitudes is a challenge. In Alaska (USA), the extreme topography, large regional extent, and varying climate result in annual precipitation values ranging from 120 in. (3,050 mm) to 10 in. (254 mm). The state's precipitation network recently has expanded significantly, but there is still room for improvement. A recent intensity-duration-frequency (idf) exercise for the state showed that: (1) although density and spatial coverage of stations have increased, large areas in northern and western Alaska are still without gauge coverage; (2) the number of gauges at higher elevations is insufficient, although growing (e.g., the number of stations above 1,000 ft (305 m) increased from 26 gauges in 1963 to 134 gauges in 2012); (3) solid precipitation is difficult to quantify, and at unmanned sites, the phase of precipitation (liquid or solid) is hard to determine, as air temperature is often the only other measured variable; (4) corrections for gauge undercatch need to be made but too often information on the shielded status of gauges and wind speed is lacking; and (5) in the recent idf analysis only about one-third of the existing and historical stations were used because of data-quality issues. Obviously, overall improvements in precipitation data collection can and should be made.

The research used qualitative methods with a descriptive type to describe a case study that happened in Sailong Village. Data sampling used a purposive sampling technique, while data collection included in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Based on the results of this study, labeling the status of young widows that occurs is not necessarily interpreted as having a negative (bad) connotation. A bad “label” does not indicate that the woman cannot prove that the label is wrong and is only a stereotype, stigma, and prejudice that does not apply to every individual. Therefore, the way to overcome it is by maintaining attitudes and behavior to always be good in the broader community. Furthermore, sometimes the community defines the status of widows in general based on what they saw or encountered based on experience. When seeing or meeting a widow who is not good, the definition becomes bad.   ABSTRAK Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan tipe deskriptif untuk menggambarkan studi kasus yang terjadi di Desa Sailong tersebut. Adapun teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara mendalam, observasi langsung dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini, pelabelan yang terjadi terhadap status janda muda, sebenarnya belum tentu diartikan sebagai perempuan berkonotasi negatif (buruk). Berkaitan mengenai “Label” yang buruk bukan berarti perempuan tersebut tidak mampu membuktikan bahwa label tersebut adalah salah dan hanya sebuah stereotype, stigma dan Prejudice yang tidak berlaku untuk semua orang. Sehingga untuk mengatasinya dengan menjaga sikap dan perilaku untuk senantiasa bersikap baik di masyarakat luas sedangkan masyarakat kadang dalam mendefinisikan status janda secara umum seperti yang pernah mereka lihat atau temui berdasarkan pengalaman. Ketika melihat atau menemui seorang janda yang bersikap tidak baik, maka pendefisiniannya buruk.

A notary is an authorized public official whose main obligation is to make authentic deeds based on a professional code of ethics, related to the widespread indications of forgery of the authentic deeds, of course this needs to be accounted for by the notary himself. This study aims to identify and explain the criminal liability of a Notary against an authentic deed made and indicated forgery and to find out the legal status of a deed made by a Notary that caused a dispute. The data collection carried out in this research is by interview and literature study as well as the applicable legislation. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that if the notary is proven to have falsified or falsified the authentic deed he made and caused harm to interested parties, the notary can be sentenced to criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions. The legal status of the deed that is proven to be falsified by the Notary who made it, which can be canceled, null and void, has the power of proof as an underhand deed, canceled by the parties themselves and canceled by a court decision that has permanent legal force. However, the status or position of the Notary deed can’t be carried out jointly, but only applies to one, in accordance with a permanent court decision.

This research uses a qualitative approach to the case study method, which emphasizes efforts to obtain information about the status of a picture of phenomena, as well as to draw the meaning of a desired problem with respect to a case. The data collection technique used triangulation with interviews, observation, and documentation study. The results of the study conclude that the understanding of traders in the traditional Pendopo market towards Islamic business ethics, traders have not maximally understood Islamic business ethics, both the expression of feelings that are reflected, the pattern of application of business ethics in Islam which emphasizes trading ethics in buying and selling transactions in the Pendopo market. It has been running quite well without being overtaken by the traders, there is still a lack of awareness of the traders about raising prices by hoarding goods with the aim of seeking high profits from consumer needs in general. traders feel they can compete so that their merchandise can sell cheaply and cheerfully. The measurement of the application of business ethics in Islam carried out by the seller / trader shows that not some traders have implemented business ethics in Islam. Based on these findings, it is suggested the need for periodic counseling to increase the insight and knowledge of traders to be aware of the meaning and benefits of business ethics in Islam which emphasizes trading ethics in sales transactions. the role of the community in this case is that buyers are also required to understand and understand the business ethics system in Islam

Fracking has helped to usher in an era of energy abundance in the United States. This advanced drilling procedure has helped the nation to attain the status of the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas in the world, but some of its negative externalities, such as human-induced seismicity, can no longer be ignored. The occurrence of earthquakes in communities located at proximity to disposal wells with no prior history of seismicity has shocked residents and have caused damages to properties. It has evoked individuals’ resentment against the practice of injection of fracking’s wastewater under pressure into underground disposal wells. Though the oil and gas companies have denied the existence of a link between such a practice and earthquakes and the local and state governments have delayed their responses to the unforeseen seismic events, the issue has gained in prominence among researchers, affected community residents, and the media. This case study has offered a glimpse into the varied responses of stakeholders to human-induced seismicity in a small city in the state of Texas. It is evident from this case study that although individuals’ complaints and protests from a small community may not be successful in bringing about statewide changes in regulatory policies on disposal of fracking’s wastewater, they can add to the public pressure on the state government to do something to address the problem in a state that supports fracking.
