Makyung is one of the many traditional performances from the Malaysian region that has shaped the Malay national cultural identity. It has been recognized as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangibles of Humanity in 2001 as well as part of intangible cultural heritage having significant cultural values propounded by the UNESCO International Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage of 2003 (ICH Convention). However, the State of Kelantan had enacted the Entertainment Control and Places of Entertainment Enactment (1998) (KECE 1998) that clearly prohibits any entertainment containing prohibited elements according to Islamic principles. Currently, the performance of makyung was allowed with certain modifications but recently, there is an intention by the state government of Kelantan to prohibit Makyung totally. It is to be noted that there are overlapping powers between the Federal and the State jurisdictions with regard to the safeguarding of makyung. At federal level, the National Heritage Act 2005 (the NHA) is the existing law in Malaysia for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage inspired by the establishment of the ICH Convention. However, the NHA is a general law that is inadequate at giving comprehensive protection to makyung since heritage matter falls under the Concurrent List of the Ninth Schedule of the Federal Constitution where the State also has the legislative power to make law with regard to the same. In order to address this conflict, there is a need to examine the provisions in the Federal Constitutions, the NHA, KECE 1998 and evaluate to what extent these laws safeguard the performance of makyung. This study examines the conflicts in powers between both Federal and the State Legislations which powers are guaranteed by the Constitution. This study uses the qualitative research method, where a doctrinal research is conducted. This paper contends that, both powers must come to a compromise and meet halfway for the preservation of the heritage.

AbstractClimate change is borderless, and its impacts are not shared equally by all communities. It causes an imbalance between people by creating a more desirable living environment for some societies while erasing settlements and shelters of some others. Due to floods, sea level rise, destructive storms, drought, and slow-onset factors such as salinization of water and soil, people lose their lands, homes, and natural resources. Catastrophic events force people to move voluntarily or involuntarily. The relocation of communities is a debatable climate adaptation measure which requires utmost care with human rights, ethics, and psychological well-being of individuals upon the issues of discrimination, conflict, and security. As the number of climate-displaced populations grows, the generations-deep connection to their rituals, customs, and ancestral ties with the land, cultural practices, and intangible cultural heritage become endangered. However, intangible heritage is often overlooked in the context of climate displacement. This paper presents reflections based on observations regarding the intangible heritage of voluntarily displaced communities. It begins by examining intangible heritage under the threat of climate displacement, with place-based examples. It then reveals intangible heritage as a catalyst to building resilient communities by advocating for the cultural values of indigenous and all people in climate action planning. It concludes the discussion by presenting the implications of climate displacement in existing intangible heritage initiatives. This article seeks to contribute to the emerging policies of preserving intangible heritage in the context of climate displacement.

LABURPENA: Zezenketei buruzko Konstituzio Auzitegiaren doktrinak kulturaren, animalien babesaren eta ikuskizun publikoen gaineko eskumen autonomikoa onartzen du, eta, hala, Katalunian eta Balear Uharteetan zezen-ikuskizunak arautzeko gaikuntza ematen du. Hala ere, berariaz zehazten du animaliaren heriotza edo sufrimendua saiheste aldera horien funtsezko alderdi batzuk debekatu edo arautzean inbaditu egiten dela estatuak kultura-ondarearen gainean duen eskumena, kulturaren gaineko estatuko eta erkidegoetako eskumenak modu ez baztertzailean batzen diren esparruan gailentzen dena, kultura-balio komunak zaintze aldera. Halaber, baimena ematen dio Estatuari esku hartze zuzena izateko, Estatuko legegileak egin duen gisan, zezen-korridaren (modernoki ezagutzen dugun eran) aitorpena eta biziraupena bermatuko dituen ekintza publiko antolatua eta tratamenduorokorra sustatu asmoz. ABSTRACT: The doctrine of the TC on the celebration of the bulls, although it admits the autonomic competence in the matter of culture, protection of the animals and public spectacles like qualifications that qualify to regulate the bullfighting spectacles in Catalonia and Illes Balears, maintains that the prohibition or the regulation of essential aspects thereof, aimed at preventing death or animal suffering, invades the state competence in matters of cultural heritage, prevalent in the context of the non-exclusive concurrence of state and regional competences in culture ex art. 149.2 CE, aimed at preservation of common cultural values, and that authorizes the State to intervene intensively, as the state legislator has already done, to favor a general treatment and a superordinated public action that guarantees the knowledge and survival of the bullfight as we know it modernly. RESUMEN: La doctrina del TC sobre la fiesta de los toros, si bien admite la competencia autonómica en materia de cultura, protección de los animales y espectáculos públicos como títulos que habilitan para regular los espectáculos taurinos en Cataluña e Illes Balears, sostiene que la prohibición o la regulación de aspectos esenciales de los mismos, orientada a evitar la muerte o el sufrimiento animal, invade la competencia estatal en materia de patrimonio cultural, prevalente en el marco de la concurrencia no excluyente de competencias estatales y autonómicas en materia de cultura ex art. 149.2 CE, encaminada a la preservación de valores culturales comunes, y que autoriza al Estado a intervenir de forma intensa, como ya ha hecho el legislador estatal, para favorecer un tratamiento general y una acción pública supraordenada que garantice la recognoscibilidad y pervivencia de la corrida de toros como la conocemos modernamente.

Examina procedimentos do Tribunal de Contas (TC) de Mato Grosso para a contabilização da receita e despesa vinculada à Manutenção e Desenvolvimento do Ensino (MDE), pesquisa que pretende abranger todos os Tribunais de Contas do Brasil. Embora a documentação consultada não seja suficientemente detalhada, foi possível constatar equívocos e oscilação nas interpretações do TC. Por exemplo, num ano o TC considerou o percentual mínimo dos impostos (35%) fixados pela Constituição estadual, porém em outros se baseou, sem nenhuma justificativa, nos 25% da Constituição federal. Outro equívoco foi incluir na base de cálculo do percentual mínimo receitas que são adicionais a este mínimo, como os convênios e salário-educação. O surpreendente foi constatar a aceitação pelo TC, desde 2004, a partir de consulta formulada pela Secretaria Estadual de Fazenda, de que o imposto de renda dos servidores estaduais e municipais não seria classificado como imposto e, portanto, não entraria na base de cálculo dos impostos. Na classificação das despesas em MDE, o TC não teve uma interpretação uniforme sobre o pagamento dos inativos com o percentual mínimo, ora aceitando-o, ora rejeitando-o. Na questão das renúncias fiscais, que correspondem a centenas de milhões de reais por ano, o governo estadual e o TC não cumpriram a Constituição estadual, pois elas não podem ser subtraídas do montante sobre o qual incide o percentual mínimo vinculado à educação. Outro equívoco do TC foi contabilizar restos a pagar que sejam pagos no exercício. É um equívoco, porque tais despesas pertencem a exercícios anteriores, mesmo porque suas fontes também a eles pertencem. Em síntese, em conseqüência destes procedimentos equivocados dos governos estaduais e provavelmente dos municipais e sua aceitação pelo TC, é possível estimar em centenas de milhões de reais o prejuízo anual para a educação pública estadual e municipal do Estado de Mato Grosso. Palavras-chave: financiamento da educação; orçamento da educação; Tribunais de Contas; Mato Grosso. Abstract The article examines procedures adopted by the Audit Office of the Brazilian State of Mato Grosso to calculate revenue and expenditures linked to the maintenance and development of education (MDE) and is part of a research intending to cover all the Audit Offices in Brazil. Although the documentation consulted was not sufficiently detailed, it was possible to find mistakes and oscillation in the interpretations by Audit Office. For example, in one year, the Office took into account the minimum percentage of 35% of taxes set by the State Constitution, but in other years, with no justification, it considered the percentage of 25% stipulated in the Federal Constitution. A further mistake was to include in the minimum percentage revenues that are an addition to the above said minimum. It was surprising to find that the Office has accepted since 2004, after a consultation by the State Treasury Secretariat, that the income tax paid by state and municipal civil servants would not be classified as tax and would not, therefore, be included in the calculation of the percentage linked to education. In the classification of expenditures in MDE, the Office has not adopted a uniform interpretation about the payment of retired education personnel using the funds linked to education (the minimum percentage). In the issue of tax incentives reducing the funds to education and amounting to hundreds of millions of Brazilian reais per year, the State government and the Audit Office have not complied with the State Constitution, for the incentives may not be disregarded in the calculation of funds linked to education. Finally, as a result of these mistaken procedures adopted by state governments and probably by municipal administrations and their acceptance by the Audit Office, it is possible to estimate that the state and municipal education in Mato Grosso lose hundreds of millions of Brazilian reais every year. Keywords: education funding; education budget; Audit Offices; the Brazilian State of Mato Grosso.

In December 1969, former President Lázaro Cárdenas sent a letter to political prisoners in the Lecumberri federal penitentiary in Mexico City, assuring them that he would continue to lobby for their release. In October 1973, Michoacán university students marching in front of the state government building in Morelia held up placards demanding the release of political prisoners. On June 29, 1974, Lucio Cabañas, guerrilla leader of the Partido de los Pobres (Party of the Poor) in the mountains of Guerrero, released a communiqué in which the group's first demand was the release of political prisoners. In its founding document from March 1973, the Liga Comunista 23 de Septiembre (LC-23S), an urban-based guerrilla group responsible for more than 60 direct-action operations, made it clear that political prisoners were one of the costs of carrying out a revolution and, as such, would not distract from its broader mission. These are just some of the references to the imprisonment of activists during the height of what is considered Mexico's dirty war. Taken together, the many references to political prisoners suggest that being held captive by the state was a common threat and, in some cases, a reality in the lives of those challenging the authoritarian government in the 1960s and 1970s.

The present study examines the three perceptual factors (cultural, economic, and social) that affect residents’ attitude towards transformation in the search for sustainability. Macao’s Drunken Dragon Festival, China’s intangible cultural heritage, was used as the case. Self-administered surveys were conducted on 378 resident festival participants in 2015 and 692 residents (both participants and non-participants) in 2017. The results show that regardless of previous experiences of participating in the festival, those who perceive more strongly about its cultural values tend to have positive attitudes towards its transformation, which may involve a loss of objective authenticity. Those who perceive more strongly that the festival is exclusive and does not embrace diverse participants are more likely to support its transformation. However, such a perception does not lead to their belief that diverse groups of people should be incorporated into the festival. Only among the non-participants from the sample collected in 2017, the perception that this festival provides economic benefit is associated with positive attitudes towards transforming and incorporating diverse groups of participants. This study provides insight into understanding the residents’ common and differentiated attitudes with regards to how much transformation is necessary to ensure sustainability of a local traditional cultural festival.

Salah satu sogit ialah sogit “kapanasan kampung”. Berdasarkan amalan adat masyarakat anak negeri Sabah, sogit kepanasan kampung adalah satu amalan dan kepercayaan masyarakat pagan anak negeri Sabah bagi menggelakkan semangat yang menjaga mereka murka kerana pelanggaran adat yang dilakukan di kampung mereka. Mengambil kira orang Islam juga menjadi subjek di Mahkamah Anak Negeri, Objektif artikel ini adalah untuk mengkaji sejauhmanakah orang Islam dikenakan sogit kepanasan kampung di Mahkamah Anak Negeri dan apakah hukum sogit kepanasan kampung tersebut mengikut hukum syarak. Objektif ini akan dijawab melalui kaedah temubual terhadap Mufti Negeri Sabah dan Ketua-Ketua Daerah serta penelitian fail kes di Mahkamah Anak Negeri. Daripada 26 kes yang dikaji, terdapat 14 kes melibatkan orang Islam. Berdasarkan pandangan Mufti Negeri Sabah, sogit kepanasan kampung tersebut tidak boleh dijatuhkan kepada orang Islam kerana ia ada melibatkan isu akidah. Memandangkan sogit kepanasan kampung tidak bertepatan dengan hukum syarak, maka ianya juga tidak memenuhi matlamat syariah atau    yang pertama iaitu menjaga agama atau ad-din. Oleh kerana itu, sogit kepanasan kampung ini bukanlah satu adat atau urf yang terangkum dalam kaedah fikah “al-addah al-muhakkamah”. Sebagai sebuah institusi kehakiman yang di hormati, Mahkamah Anak Negeri perlu mengambil beberapa pendekatan yang lebih bertepatan dengan hukum syarak dalam menjatuhkan sogit kepanasan kampung kepada orang Islam.
