Legal Protection Towards Workers Under Collective Labor Agreement

The Collective Labor Agreement is one of working agreements negotiated by workers joining the trade union organizations together with employers as employment providers. In the making of the agreement, it must first be negotiated by both parties. In particular, in order for the trade union to attend the negotiation, it must meet the requirement stipulated in the provisions of law and regulation stipulated in Laws Number 13 Year 2003 on Labor and Ministerial Regulation Number 28 Year 2014. The two regulations have non-interrelated arrangements or in other words it can be said as conflict of norms, hence this present study is conducted to examine the validity of enactment of collective labor agreement in a company and the legal protection for the trade union under the collective labor agreement. The study makes use of normative research method, i.e. by reviewing the documents of legislations and the literatures with legislation and conceptual approach. The result of the study shows that the validity of enactment of collective labor agreement refers to its relation with legal validity of a norm in the principle of legislation lex superior derogate lex impriori, so that the labor laws is enacted, but not apart from the role of labor ministerial regulations. The validity of the legitimate terms of an agreement is also needed to underlie a collective agreement. The legal protection that can be applied for trade union is in the form of supervision as well as legal protection both preventive and repressive outlined in the collective labor agreement content

On the role of textual connectives in sentence comprehension: A new dataset for Italian

In this paper we present a new evaluation resource for Italian aimed at assessing the role of textual connectives in the comprehension of the meaning of a sentence. The resource is arranged in two sections (acceptability assessment and cloze test), each one corresponding to a distinct challenge task conceived to test how subtle modifications involving connectives in real usage sentences influence the perceived acceptability of the sentence by native speakers and Neural Language Models (NLMs). Although the main focus is the presentation of the dataset, we also provide some preliminary data comparing human judgments and NLMs performance in the two task

Inference of riverine nitrogen processing from longitudinal and diel variation in dual nitrate isotopes

Longitudinal and diel measurements of dual isotope composition (δ¹⁵N and δ¹⁸O) in nitrate (NO<inf>3</inf>-N) were made in the Ichetucknee River, a large (∼8m³ s ^-1), entirely spring-fed river in North Florida, to determine whether isotopic variation can deconvolve assimilatory and dissimilatory removal. Comparing nitrate concentrations and isotope composition during the day and night we predicted (1) daytime declines in total fractionation due to low assimilatory fractionation and (2) diurnal variation in dual isotope coupling between 1:1 (assimilation) and 2:1 (denitrification). Five daytime longitudinal transects comprising 10 sampling stations showed consistent NO<inf>3</inf>-N removal (25-35% of inputs) and modest fractionation (¹⁵ε <inf>total</inf> between -2 and -6‰, enriching the residual nitrate pool). Lower fractionation (by ∼1‰) during two nighttime transects, suggests higher fractionation due to assimilation than denitrification. Total fractionation was significantly negatively associated with discharge, input [NO<inf>3</inf>-N], N mass removal, and fractional water loss. Despite well-constrained mass balance estimates that denitrification dominated total N removal, isotope coupling was consistently 1:1, both for longitudinal and diel sampling. Hourly samples on two dates at the downstream location showed significant diel variation in concentration ([NO<inf>3</inf>-N] amplitude = 60 to 90 μg N L^-1) and isotope composition (δ¹⁵N amplitude = -0.7‰ to -1.6‰). Total fractionation differed between day and night only on one date but estimated assimilatory fractionation assuming constant denitrification was highly variable and implausibly large (for N, ¹⁵ε = -2 to -25‰), suggesting that fractionation and removal due to denitrification is not diurnally constant. Pronounced counterclockwise hysteresis in the relationship between [NO<inf>3</inf>-N] and δ¹⁵N suggests diel variation in N isotope dynamics. Together, low fractionation, isotope versus concentration hysteresis, and consistent 1:1 isotope coupling suggests that denitrification is controlled by NO <inf>3</inf>^- diffusion into the benthic sediments, the length of which is mediated by riverine oxygen dynamics. While using dual isotope behavior to deconvolve removal pathways was not possible, isotope measurements did yield valuable information about riverine N cycling and transformations.

Incidence and viral aetiologies of acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs) in the United States: a population-based study.

We conducted prospective, community-wide surveillance for acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs) in Rochester, NY and Marshfield, WI during a 3-month period in winter 2011. We estimated the incidence of ARIs in each community, tested for viruses, and determined the proportion of ARIs associated with healthcare visits. We used a rolling cross-sectional design to sample participants, conducted telephone interviews to assess ARI symptoms (defined as a current illness with feverishness or cough within the past 7 days), collected nasal/throat swabs to identify viruses, and extracted healthcare utilization from outpatient/inpatient records. Of 6492 individuals, 321 reported an ARI within 7 days (4·9% total, 5·7% in Rochester, 4·4% in Marshfield); swabs were collected from 208 subjects. The cumulative ARI incidence for the entire 3-month period was 52% in Rochester [95% confidence interval (CI) 42-63] and 35% in Marshfield (95% CI 28-42). A specific virus was identified in 39% of specimens: human coronavirus (13% of samples), rhinovirus (12%), RSV (7%), influenza virus (4%), human metapneumovirus (4%), and adenovirus (1%). Only 39/200 (20%) had a healthcare visit (2/9 individuals with influenza). ARI incidence was ~5% per week during winter

Denitrification and inference of nitrogen sources in the karstic Floridan Aquifer

Aquifer denitrification is among the most poorly constrained fluxes in global and regional nitrogen budgets. The few direct measurements of denitrification in groundwaters provide limited information about its spatial and temporal variability, particularly at the scale of whole aquifers. Uncertainty in estimates of denitrification may also lead to underestimates of its effect on isotopic signatures of inorganic N, and thereby confound the inference of N source from these data. In this study, our objectives are to quantify the magnitude and variability of denitrification in the Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) and evaluate its effect on N isotopic signatures at the regional scale. Using dual noble gas tracers (Ne, Ar) to generate physical predictions of N&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; gas concentrations for 112 observations from 61 UFA springs, we show that excess (i.e. denitrification-derived) N&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; is highly variable in space and inversely correlated with dissolved oxygen (O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;). Negative relationships between O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and &amp;delta;&lt;sup&gt;15&lt;/sup&gt;N&lt;sub&gt;NO3&lt;/sub&gt; across a larger dataset of 113 springs, well-constrained isotopic fractionation coefficients, and strong &lt;sup&gt;15&lt;/sup&gt;N:&lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;O covariation further support inferences of denitrification in this uniquely organic-matter-poor system. Despite relatively low average rates, denitrification accounted for 32 % of estimated aquifer N inputs across all sampled UFA springs. Back-calculations of source &amp;delta;&lt;sup&gt;15&lt;/sup&gt;N&lt;sub&gt;NO3&lt;/sub&gt; based on denitrification progression suggest that isotopically-enriched nitrate (NO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&amp;ndash;&lt;/sup&gt;) in many springs of the UFA reflects groundwater denitrification rather than urban- or animal-derived inputs

Coupled genomic evolutionary histories as signatures of organismal innovations in cephalopods: co-evolutionary signatures across levels of genome organization may shed light on functional linkage and origin of cephalopod novelties. BioEssays, 41, (2019): 1900073, doi: 10.1002/bies.201900073.How genomic innovation translates into organismal organization remains largely unanswered. Possessing the largest invertebrate nervous system, in conjunction with many species‐specific organs, coleoid cephalopods (octopuses, squids, cuttlefishes) provide exciting model systems to investigate how organismal novelties evolve. However, dissecting these processes requires novel approaches that enable deeper interrogation of genome evolution. Here, the existence of specific sets of genomic co‐evolutionary signatures between expanded gene families, genome reorganization, and novel genes is posited. It is reasoned that their co‐evolution has contributed to the complex organization of cephalopod nervous systems and the emergence of ecologically unique organs. In the course of reviewing this field, how the first cephalopod genomic studies have begun to shed light on the molecular underpinnings of morphological novelty is illustrated and their impact on directing future research is described. It is argued that the application and evolutionary profiling of evolutionary signatures from these studies will help identify and dissect the organismal principles of cephalopod innovations. By providing specific examples, the implications of this approach both within and beyond cephalopod biology are discussed.E.A.R. and O.S. are supported by the Austrian Science Fund (Grant No. P30686‐B29).
