International Cooperation On Combating Human Trafficking Especially Women And Children: A View from Indonesia

Saat ini kejahatan transnasional terorganisir berkembang sangat pesat disebabkan adanya liberalisasi perdangangan, perkembangan teknologi komunikasi yang menakjubkan, dan tekanan dari penegakan hukum yang semakin membaik hampir di seluruh negara. Salah satu kejahatan besar yang perlu mendapat perhatian adalah perdagangan manusia, khususnya wanita dan anak-anak. Untuk menangani jenis kejahatan ini, cara yang paling efektif adalah dengan melakukan kerjasama internasional. Hal inilah yang mendorong dihasilkannya United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Konvensi Palermo) beserta ketiga protokolnya yang menyatakan dengan tegas beberapa kejahatan sebagai kejahatan transnasional. Namun tidak dapat dipungkiri, dalam kerja sama internasional yang telah terjalin, terbentar pada beberapa permasalahan disamping ditemukan beberapa kemungkinan yang perlu dijajaki untuk menangani kejahatan ini. Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara yang telah menandatangani Konvensi Palermo dan protokolnya tengah mempersiapkan instrumene rancangan ratifikasi. Sejauh ini, di Indonesia terdapat beberapa kasus perdagangan wanita dan anak-anak yang berhasil digagalkan dan diproses hingga ke pengadilan

Consumer credit information systems: A critical review of the literature. Too little attention paid by lawyers?

This paper reviews the existing literature on consumer credit reporting, the most extensively used instrument to overcome information asymmetry and adverse selection problems in credit markets. Despite the copious literature in economics and some research in regulatory policy, the legal community has paid almost no attention to the legal framework of consumer credit information systems, especially within the context of the European Union. Studies on the topic, however, seem particularly relevant in view of the establishment of a single market for consumer credit. This article ultimately calls for further legal research to address consumer protection concerns and inform future legislation

Who was “Big George”? An exploration and critique of Aboriginalist discourse within historical photographic and written texts

This thesis is a series of counter-histories to the visual and written textual representations of Jaal, a Yamaji figure who was also known as “Big George the Cannibal” and “King George of Meekatharra”. It is set against the backdrop of violent colonisation and two scientific expeditions to the Murchison in Western Australia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries

Understanding future skills and enriching the skills debate

This 3rd report of the Deliverable 6.1 builds on the framework for future skills and the skills categorisation developed in the 1st and 2nd reports of the Deliverable 6.1. The report focuses on empirical results of the Beyond 4.0 project on the topic of skills within the digital transformation. It draws from the range of empirical data collected during the qualitative research undertaken in Work Packages 4 and 8 of the BEYOND 4.0 project by identifying illustrative examples exemplifying the impact of digitalisation on the five categories of the aforementioned skills categorisation, presents and discusses the findings along the lines of skills demand and skills supply-sides issues, and accordingly, presents a number of recommendations for policymakers

The loss of Normandy and the invention of Terre Normannorum, 1204

The conquest of Normandy by Philip Augustus of France effectively ended the ‘Anglo-Norman’ realm created in 1066, forcing cross-Channel landholders to choose between their English and their Norman estates. The best source for the resulting tenurial upheaval in England is the Rotulus de valore terrarum Normannorum, a list of seized properties and their former holders, and this article seeks to expand our understanding of the impact of the loss of Normandy through a detailed analysis of this document. First, it demonstrates that the compilation of the roll can be divided into two distinct stages, the first containing valuations taken before royal justices in June 1204 and enrolled before the end of July, and the second consisting of returns to orders for the valuation of particular properties issued during the summer and autumn, as part of the process by which these estates were committed to new holders. Second, study of the roll and other documentary sources permits a better understanding of the order for the seizure of the lands of those who had remained in Normandy, the text of which does not survive. This establishes that this royal order was issued in late May 1204 and, further, that it enjoined the temporary seizure rather than the permanent confiscation of these lands. Moreover, the seizure was not retrospective and covers a specific window of time in 1204. On the one hand, this means that the roll is far from a comprehensive record of terre Normannorum. On the other hand, it is possible to correlate the identities of those Anglo-Norman landholders whose English estates were seized with the military progress of the French king through the duchy in May and June and thus shed new light on the campaign of 1204. Third, the article considers the initial management of the seized estates and highlights the fact that, when making arrangements for the these lands, John was primarily concerned to maintain his freedom of manoeuvre, since he was not prepared to accept that Normandy had been lost for good

A systematic review of the impacts of climate variability and change on electricity systems in Europe

Understanding the impacts of climate variability and change (CV&C) on electricity systems is paramount for operators preparing for weather-related disruptions, policymakers deciding on future directions of energy policies and European decision makers shaping research programs. This study conducted a systematic literature review to collate consistent patterns of impacts of CV&C on electricity systems in Europe. We found that, in the absence of adaptation and for current capacity, thermal electricity generation will decrease for the near term to mid-21st century (NT-MC) and the end of the 21st century (EC). In contrast, renewable electricity generation will increase for hydroelectricity in Northern Europe (NT-MC and EC), for solar electricity in Germany (NT-MC) and the United Kingdom and Spain (NT-MC and EC) and for wind electricity in the Iberian Peninsula (NT-MC) and over the Baltic and Aegean Sea (NT-MC and EC). Although the knowledge frontier in this area has advanced, the evidence available remains patchy. Future assessments should not only address some of the gaps identified but also better contextualise their results against those of earlier assessments. This review could provide a starting point for doing so

Automated Analysis of ARM Binaries using the Low-Level Virtual Machine Compiler Framework

Binary program analysis is a critical capability for offensive and defensive operations in Cyberspace. However, many current techniques are ineffective or time-consuming and few tools can analyze code compiled for embedded processors such as those used in network interface cards, control systems and mobile phones. This research designs and implements a binary analysis system, called the Architecture-independent Binary Abstracting Code Analysis System (ABACAS), which reverses the normal program compilation process, lifting binary machine code to the Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) compiler\u27s intermediate representation, thereby enabling existing security-related analyses to be applied to binary programs. The prototype targets ARM binaries but can be extended to support other architectures. Several programs are translated from ARM binaries and analyzed with existing analysis tools. Programs lifted from ARM binaries are an average of 3.73 times larger than the same programs compiled from a high-level language (HLL). Analysis results are equivalent regardless of whether the HLL source or ARM binary version of the program is submitted to the system, confirming the hypothesis that LLVM is effective for binary analysis
