Este texto sintetiza la indagación del autor en torno a la desaparición de empresas manufactureras colombianas y a algunos esfuerzos de rescate de las mismas, realizados por sus trabajadores, cuando los primeros efectos de la globalización empezaron a sentirse en muchos medios. Se trata de un intento en cierta manera pionero en Colombia, tal vez por lo mismo que el fenómeno paso notoriamente inadvertido por la opinión pública, debido tanto al amparo gubernamental de que gozaron los empresarios para eludir las leyes laborales y deshacerse fácilmente de los trabajadores “sobrantes”, como a la débil resistencia y a veces indiferencia que el atropello despertó en las directivas sindicales. La desaparición de empresas simbólicas de la vida social colombiana, grandes y medianas, ha borrado rápidamente de la memoria nacional el aporte que empresarios criollos y trabajadores hicieron a la técnica, la calidad y la presentación de la producción nacional atesoradas en un siglo de historia de la manufactura. Death and Recovery of Colombian Companies This article synthesizes the author’s inquiry about the disappearance of Colombian manufacturing forms, and some rescue efforts made by their workers when the first effects of globalization began to be felt in our midst. In some way, this is a pioneering attempt in Colombia, since the phenomenon became well unnoticed by the public, because both, the employers had the government support to circumvent labor laws and to drive out easily the workers “surplus”, as well as the feeble resistence and sometimes indifference of union leaders. The disappearance of symbolic firms in Colombian social life, large and medium, quickly erased the memory of the contribution that national employers and workers made in techniques, quality and presentation of national productions treasured along a century of manufacturing history. Keywords: Globalization, Industrial Crisis, Recovery Companies, Unionism.

Radicalism is an understanding of social life, far beyond reconciliation and communication, similar to acts of violence. This misconception is indeed very dangerous, particularly if it is made in the name of religion itself. Evidently, the religious principle which always encourages a good and ethical way of life seems to have been misunderstood, perhaps abused. Radicalism might be handled and prevented by implementing the teachings of Imam al-Bukhārī, e.g. the I'tiqād, a clear understanding of religion and outstanding teaching practices. The aim of this research is to analyze the contents of the book upon its values of Islamic teachings concerning harmony through living together under a foundation of educational values towards radicalism. The research employed a full qualitative method and data documentation related to the research, which was then analyzed descriptively. In the meantime, the results of the study revealed that Imam al-Bukhārī, in his book I'tiqād al-Bukhārī, proposed four (4) educational values or elements of peace in Islamic teachings, namely: (1) harmony with the public at large, (2) harmony with the government, (3) tranquility with the Muslims, and (4) harmony with believers of other religions. These educational values could be an instructional approach for the enforcement of counter-radicalism that would be applicable to Islamic education in Indonesia.

This paper presents data on financial support of the reproductive sciences and contraceptive development assembled in the course of a two-year review of research funding by an international group of scientists and scientific administrators. Until the mid-1960s, research in reproduction was supported primarily by university budgets, philanthropic funds, and pharmaceutical firms. This research received only an insignificant share of the government support of biomedical research which grew rapidly following World War II. Establishment in the U. S. of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in 1963 ushered in a decade of rapid growth of government funding for the field. Expressed in terms of constant dollars (1970 = 100), total world support from all sources reached a peak of $100 million in 1972 and 1973 and declined in 1974 and 1975. Over the past decade, governments have become the major source of support for the field, as the proportion contributed by private foundations and pharmaceutical firms has declined. While the major impetus for recent support of the reproductive sciences has stemmed from concern with world population growth, and hence is part of an effort to find improved methods of fertility control, fundamental research has received nearly 60% of the funding throughout the past decade while applied contraceptive research has received about 30 %. As pharmaceutical firm expenditures have become a smaller proportion of the total funds involved in contraceptive development, they have been supplemented by missionoriented programmes in the public sector devoted to this effort.

Abstract:President Joko Widodo in 2018 revealed the government's target of making a law by means of the omnibus law to overcome the existence of regulatory obesity and overlapping regulations in Indonesia. One of the sectors the government has targeted for the enactment of the omnibus law is the employment sector. The drafting of the omnibus law bill on labor began in 2019 with the target completed within 100 days. At that time the draft law was called the Draft Cipta Lapangan Kerja Bill. However, in the draft last in February 2020 the draft law was named the Draft Cipta Kerja Bill. According to the Chairperson of the People's Legislative Assembly, Puan Maharani, in the DraftCipta Kerja Bill, which was made in an omnibus law, consisted of 79 laws. In the Draft Cipta Kerja Billnotonly includes the employment sector but also other sectors such as the environment. However, the Cipta Kerja Bill has so far drawn rejection from the public, laborers, activists, academics, and practitioners because it is considered in the drafting of the Cipta Kerja Bill that it has problems both formally and materially, even according to some experts the Cipta Kerja Bill has the potential to violate human rights if authorized. In this paper, we will discuss the existence of the omnibus law as one of the mechanisms for the formation of laws and regulations and how the problems in the Draft Cipta Kerja Bill. The method used in this research is a normative juridical method with the statutory and comparative approach. The results of this study are an analysis of the existence of the omnibus law as one of the mechanisms for the formation of legislation and the existence of a picture and a critical attitude towards the issue of the Cipta Kerja Bill. So that through this paper, it can be seen whether the drafting of the Cipta Kerja Bill is intended for the interests of the people or only for the sake of investment which will certainly sacrifice human rights and harm national interests.   Keywords: omnibus law, Draft CiptaKerja Bill, employment, human rights.   Abstrak:Presiden Joko Widodo pada tahun 2018 mengungkapkan target pemerintah yakni membuat suatu undang-undang dengan cara omnibus law untuk mengatasi adanya obesitas regulasi dan tumpang tindihnya regulasi di Indonesia. Salah satu sektor yang menjadi target pemerintah untuk dibuatkan undang-undang omnibus law adalah sektor ketenagakerjaan. Penyusunan rancangan undang-undang omnibus law tentang ketenagakerjaan dimulai sejak tahun 2019 dengan target selesai dalam waktu 100 hari. Saat itu rancangan undang-undang tersebut dinamakan Rancangan Undang-Undang Cipta Lapangan Kerja. Namun, dalam draft terakhir pada Februari 2020 rancangan undang-undang tersebut bernama Rancangan Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja (RUU Cipta Kerja). Menurut Ketua Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Puan Maharani dalam RUU Cipta Kerja yang dibuat secara omnibus law tersebut terdiri dari 79 undang-undang. Dalam RUU Cipta Kerja tersebut tidak hanya memuat tentang sektor ketenagakerjaan saja tetapi juga sektor-sektor lainnya seperti lingkungan hidup. Tetapi, RUU Cipta Kerja tersebut hingga saat ini menuai penolakan baik dari masyarakat, buruh, aktivis, akademisi, dan praktisi karena dinilai dalam penyusunan RUU Cipta Kerja tersebut memiliki masalah baik secara formil maupun materiil bahkan menurut sebagian ahli RUU Cipta Kerja berpotensi melanggar hak asasi manusia apabila disahkan. Dalam tulisan ini akan dibahas mengenai bagaimana keberadaan omnibus law sebagai salah satu mekanisme pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan dan bagaimana permasalahan dalam RUU Cipta Kerja. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan perbandingan. Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini adalah adanya analisis terhadap keberadaan omnibus law sebagai salah satu mekanisme pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan dan adanya suatu gambaran dan sikap kritis terhadap permasalahan RUU Cipta Kerja. Sehingga melalui tulisan ini dapat terlihat apakah penyusunan RUU Cipta Kerja memang diperuntukkan kepentingan rakyat atau hanya demi kepentingan investasi semata yang tentunya akan mengorbankan hak asasi manusia dan merugikan kepentingan nasional.   Kata Kunci:omnibus law, RUU Cipta Kerja, ketenagakerjaan, hak asasi manusia.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, their families, health workers, and cemetery officials are not only haunted by tragedies of the new coronavirus but are also stigmatized by the community. Stigma can be very detrimental to social life because it can be long-lasting without proper social measures. This qualitative study examined some cases of stigma in Indonesia. The interview was broadcast both live and online by a private television station, on April 15, 2020, and supplementary informationwas obtained from reliable news stories published by various mass media and from interviews with various groups of people. We identified the limited availability of personal protective equipment among health workers, a public lack of clear understanding regarding COVID-19, the distortion of news by various media, and a lack of clarity among those responsible for providing education, information, and communication. The government has not acted in a sufficiently prompt mannerto prevent the spread of imported infectious diseases, resulting in local transmission and creating various stigmasamong local communities. Although the infection has already begun to spread, the government must continue toensure the correct understanding and clear mechanismsfor how to prevent COVID-19 among the public.

This chapter discusses the erosion of the newspaper business and presents arguments as to why the free press is important, even in the Internet age. It also details the research behind this volume, and argues that no other function of a free press is as important as its ability to monitor the work of the government. The presence of a vibrant press to monitor government is not just important on the micro level but is essential to the proper functioning of our democracy. In fact, the work of the news media is valued because it helps empower the “public sphere,” meaning a realm of our social life in which something approaching public opinion can be formed. Here, the public sphere is not just a virtual or imagined place to discuss public affairs, but it is also a mechanism to enable citizens to influence social action.

The Government

Government expenditure on public procurement accounts for a sizeable part of economic activity and demand. The annual public-sector procurement budget accounts about 20% to 30% of GDP in the developing countries, which provides the countries public sector with considerable leverage to stimulate the public-sector consumptions favoring goods, works, and services using fewer resources, and less harmful to the environment. The public sector should be more responsible for supporting environmental and broader sustainable development objectives. Green public procurement (GPP) is slowly getting recognized internationally as an effective means for public administrations to manage the balance between cost-effectiveness and sustainable development. The public fund should be used responsibly to uplift the health, environment, and social life. At the same time, the goods, services, and works procured by the government must achieve value for money. This chapter focuses on the importance of green public procurement strategies that could guide the countries to successfully plan, procure, and implement green public procurement (GPP) by outlining policies, strategies, and actions to boost green public procurement. The recommended strategies are based on the international best practices and the lessons learned from the experience by different government around the world. These strategies could be updated and customized based on the specific country context and their readiness.

Background: Small-bus operators (SBOs) in South Africa operate on the periphery of the economic mainstream of scheduled subsidised commuter transport, and little progress has been made in getting these operators into the more formal subsidised industry. There is also a lack of information about the challenges these operators face in participating in the public transport industry.Objectives of the research: The main objective of the research was to conduct a survey among SBOs to obtain a better understanding of the challenges that they face in participating in the public transport industry.Method: A telephone survey of operators was undertaken to ensure an adequate response to a structured questionnaire. In analysing the data, we made use of Factor Analysis and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to undertake general statistical analysis.Results: The main results of the survey indicate that SBOs face significant financial and operational challenges. There is also a perceived lack of government support for SBOs. Major conclusions are that the Department of Transport (DoT) ought to address issues related to the complex governmental reporting and legal requirements for small business. In addition, government ought to be creating ‘space’ for SBOs in the design of contracts and actively encouraging the formation of consortia’s or partnerships, among the SBOs and/or between SBOs and established bus companies. Government, and especially the DoT, ought to more actively market the governments’ small-business support systems and procedures together with financial aid schemes to assist SBOs in acquiring or replacing buses.

On a Sunday morning early in 1889, the Lord Mayor of London, Sir James Whitehead, visited Pasteur in his institute in Paris. He went, as he says, as a business man to consult the records of the treatment for rabies that Pasteur had recently developed. He went, I believe, at the suggestion of his friend Ray Lankester who was much concerned at the increase of rabies in this country. He returned determined that some public recognition should be made in Great Britain of Pasteur’s work for humanity and his generosity in treating, free of cost, persons who were bitten by rabid dogs in this country, and that the establishment of a treatment centre for rabies in London should be seriously entertained. He decided to call a meeting at the Mansion House, and a considerable correspondence passed between him and Ray Lankester as to the business which should be transacted. From the very outset Ray Lankester, supported by Sir Henry Roscoe, James Paget and others, was against the establishment in London of a treatment centre for rabies. They and many others had always argued that this disease could be stamped out from these islands by the muzzling of dogs and a proper quarantine for newly imported animals. Pasteur himself had recommended this line of action in the public press. Ray Lankester argued with the Lord Mayor that if a treatment centre was established in London it would only facilitate the evasion of the public duty to stamp out rabies. The possible establishment of a new institute had, however, got abroad and a vigorous press campaign was started, at the instigation of anti-vivisectionists, against this development, on the grounds that it would perpetuate in this country all the cruelty and pain which Pasteur had been accused of inflicting upon animals in Paris for many years past. The opposition was a very real one, for Ray Lankester wrote to the Lord Mayor just before the meeting: ‘It will be necessary to have a good posse of police to guard the entrance, and the stewards must prevent anyone from obtaining admission who has not received an invitation.’ The meeting passed off without incident. The business of the meeting concerned the public expression of thanks to Pasteur, the setting up of a committee to collect funds in order to make a presentation to his institute, and inviting the Government to stamp out rabies by the simultaneous muzzling of all dogs throughout the British Isles and by effective quarantine. Some of the speakers referred, however, to the idea of establishing a new institute. Michael Foster drew the attention of the meeting to the fact that those who pursued a certain branch of science ‘are put upon a criminal footing and are only allowed to pursue their investigations upon ticket of leave’, that ‘it would not do simply to establish in this country a merely mechanical shop, so to speak, for the mere repetition of inoculation. We are only beginning this great subject of inoculation; inquiry must go on, and unless an institute is kept sweet by the salt of investigation, it will become a hindrance.’ He went on: ‘I think that, with our present regulations, the necessary inquiries which belong to this work are better carried out in Paris than in London, and you would do well to give your money to Paris and not keep it for London.’ Ray Lankester thought it was absurd to attempt to start an institute in London by means of private subscriptions. He said: ‘It cannot be done, it is simply out of the question; it has been tried. But I may say I look forward to the time when an institute will be established in London in the only way in which it can be established, that is, under the auspices of the Government.’ In the autumn of 1889 the Mansion House Committee, under the chairmanship of the Lord Mayor, presented £2000 to the Pasteur Institute.

Abstract Welsh has official status in Wales, where it is spoken by approximately 20 % of the population. All adult speakers of Welsh are also able to speak English. The National Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Ministers legislate in both Welsh and English. The Government of Wales Act 2006 provides that the English and Welsh texts of any Act of the Assembly or any subordinate legislation enacted or made in both English and Welsh are to be treated, for all purposes, as being of equal standing. This paper examines the role legislating bilingually plays in confirming the official status of the Welsh language; how the bilingual texts are produced by a process of collaborative translation within an administration where English is the dominant working language; how they are scrutinised by a legislature where legislators are free to use either or both languages, but where, in practice, English dominates; and how they are promulgated in both languages in the form in which they are enacted or made, but only routinely updated in English. It further considers what the principle of ‘equal standing’ may mean and how effect may be given to it; how these bilingual texts may be interpreted by the public and the legal profession, domains in which English dominates; and what implications the production, scrutiny, promulgation and interpretation of bilingual legislation have for the accessibility of the law in Wales.
