Intrafamily Interaction and Desired Additional Fertility in Pakistan: A Simultaneous-Equation Model with Dichotomous Dependent Variables

In this paper we present a methodology for incorporating intrafamily interaction in the desire for additional children. The latter is formalized as a dichotomous dependent variable. Our methodology involves a generalization of the partial-adjustment hypothesis and an application of the two-stage estimators proposed by Ma11ar[31; 32] and Heckman [20; 21]. We present empirical estimates based on 1968 data from Pakistan

THE CONSTRUCTION OF SEMAR COUNSELING THROUGH AN OBJECTIVE HERMENEUTICAL STUDY ON THE NOBLE VALUES OF SEMAR TEXT

This study is based on the importance of conception and cultural propositions as efficacy in the implementation of counseling practices as a key in problem-solving. Indonesia is a great nation having various religions, tribes, cultures and it is even listed as a country with the largest amount of local wisdom in the world. Therefore, it would be feasible if it has a goal to create a knot of Counseling filled by Indonesian culture with a grounded dialogue between soul sciences that live in Indonesian human cognition. One of the indigenous cultures of the Indonesian nation, especially in Java, which contains the noble values underlying the personality of the Java life, is puppet. The presence of Semar in puppet performance art is considered as a very popular figure by the Javanese community as the core figure of the inner world of Java society. Semar's noble set of values in handling the Pandavas' problems foster a philosophy that lends itself and presents views on Indonesian cultural counseling practices. The focus in this study is to investigate the construction of Semar counseling based on Semar's noble values.  Article visualizations

Discovery anti-diabetic potent ofthiazolidinedione derivative based on virtual screening against aldose reducates

Thiazolidinedione (1) was used as a key intermediate for the synthesis of many therapeutic anti-diabetic molecule. Thus, Thiazolidinedione (1) was refluxed with aromatic aldehydes and phenol derivatives to afforded aryldine derivative (3). Moreover, the stereochemistry for compound 3 was discussed using Hartree-Fock theory geometries, and have been optimized at HF with 6-311G level of theory. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap of studied systems has been discussed. The molecular docking simulations into the active site of ALR2 were performed, and showed that, the compound 3 more suitable inhibitor against ALR2 and can used as anti- diabetic drug

THE HELLENIC NATIONAL TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER: RESEARCH, OPERATIONAL AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Το Εθνικό Κέντρο Προειδοποίησης για Τσουνάμι (ΕΚΠΤ) ιδρύθηκε στην Ελλάδα με νόμο, το Σεπτέμβριο του 2010, και λειτουργεί ως ιδιαίτερη μονάδα του Γεωδυναμικού Ινστιτούτο του Εθνικού Αστεροσκοπείου Αθηνών (ΕΑΑ-ΓΙ). Το κέντρο λειτουργεί σε 24/7 βάση και σκοπό έχει την παρακολούθηση της εκδήλωσης τσουνάμι στην Ελλάδα και την ανατολική Μεσόγειο, παρέχοντας μηνύματα προειδοποίησης στη Γενική Γραμματεία Πολιτικής Προστασίας. Από τον Αύγουστο του 2012, το ΕΚΠΤ ενεργεί ως Υποψήφιος Πάροχος Υπηρεσιών Τσουνάμι (CTSP) στο πλαίσιο του Σύστηματος Προειδοποίησης για Τσουνάμι στο Βορειοανατολικό Ατλαντικό, τη Μεσόγειο και τις γειτονικές θάλασσες (NEAMTWS) της IOC/UNESCO. Η λειτουργία του ΕΚΠΤ βασίζεται στο εθνικό δίκτυο σεισμογράφων και παλιρροιογράφων του ΕΑΑ και αξιοποιεί ποικιλία βάσεων δεδομένων, αλγορίθμων και υπολογιστικών εργαλείων. Η συνεργασία με κορυφαία ερευνητικά ιδρύματα, στο πλαίσιο σημαντικών ερευνητικών έργων χρηματοδοτούμενων από την ΕΕ, ενισχύει την επιστημονική κατάρτιση του κέντρου. H εκπαίδευση του προσωπικού που συμμετέχει στην 24-ωρη λειτουργία του κέντρου, διεξάγεται συνεχώς μέσω δοκιμών και ασκήσεων, προκειμένου να διατηρηθεί ένα υψηλό επίπεδο ετοιμότητας και ανταπόκρισης σε περίπτωση έκτακτης ανάγκης. Από τον Αύγουστο του 2012 το ΕΚΠΤ ως επιχειρησιακό κέντρο έχει εκδώσει έγκαιρα 14 μηνύματα προειδοποίησης για πιθανά τσουνάμι μετά από ισχυρούς σεισμούς.The Hellenic National Tsunami Warning Center (HL-NTWC), which is a unit of the Institute of Geodynamics of the National Observatory of Athens (NOA-IG), was officially established in Greece by law in September 2010. It operates a 24/7 tsunami monitoring service for Greece and the eastern Mediterranean Sea, providing warning messages to the General Secretariat for Civil Protection in Greece. Since August 2012, HL-NTWC acts as Candidate Tsunami Service Provider (CTSP) in the framework of the North-Eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and connected seas Tsunami Warning System (NEAMTWS) of the IOC/UNESCO providing tsunami messages to a large number of subscribers. The HL-NTWC function is based on the national seismograph and tide gauge networks of NOA-IG and incorporates several data bases, algorithms and computational tools. Collaboration with top class research institutions in the framework of important EC funded tsunami research projects strengthens the scientific background of the center. Tests, exercises and training of the duty officers involved in the 24/7 operation of the HL-NTWC are carried on constantly, in order to maintain a high level of readiness and response in case of emergency. In its operational life since August 2012 the HL-NTWC has timely issued tsunami warning messages for 14 potentially tsunamigenic earthquake events

Analisis putusan pengadilan nomor 14/PID.SUS-ANAK/2018/PN.JKT.UTR tentang pencurian dengan pemberatan dihubungkan dengan pasal 85 undang-undang RI nomor 11 tahun 2012 tentang sistem peradilan anak

Fenomena kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh anak-anak akhir-akhir ini menunjukan gejala yang sangat mengkhawatirkan. Pada penelitian ini menganalisis hukuman yang ditetapkan kepada Alif Akbar Alwafi bin Kardiyono yang melakukan pencurian dengan pemberatan, sebagaimana telah diatur dalam pasal 363 ayat (1) ke-4 KUH Pidana jo Undang-Undang RI No 11 Tahun 2012 “tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak”. Namun pada kenyataannya dalam Putusan Pengadilan No 14/Pid.Sus-Anak/2018/PN.JKT.UTR tentang Pencurian dengan Pemberatan pelaku dijatuhi hukuman berdasarkan pasal 363 ayat (1) KUH Pidana, Undang-Undang Nomor 3 Tahun 1997 Tentang Pengadilan Anak, yang mana pada pasal 106 Undang-Undang RI Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 disebutkan bahwa Undang-Undang Nomor 3 Tahun 1997 tentang Peradilan Anak sudah dicabut dan dinyatakan tidak berlaku. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui isi putusan hakim dalam kasus pencurian dengan pemberatan yang dilakukan oleh anak. Kemudian untuk mengetahui pertimbangan hukum hakim dan menganalisis Putusan Pengadilan Nomor 14/Pid.Sus-Anak/2018/PN.JKT.UTR, tentang “Pencurian dengan Pemberatan, serta mengetahui akibat hukum dari Putusan Pengadilan Nomor 14/Pid.Sus-Anak/2018/PN.JKT.UTR dihubungkan dengan Pasal 85 Undang-Undang RI Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 Tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak. Konsep berpikir penelitian ini berdasarkan pada Undang-Undang Dasar Tahun 1945 Pasal 28D Ayat (1), Teori “Perlindungan Masyarakat”, Peraturan Undang-Undang Nomor 3 Tahun 1997 Tentang Peradilan Anak, Undang-Undang RI Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 Tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak, dan KUH Pidana Pasal 363 Ayat (1) ke 4. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode deskriptif-analisis, yaitu metode yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan atau menganalisis suatu hasil penelitian, serta analis data Putusan Pengadilan Nomor 14/Pid.Sus-Anak/2018/PN.JKT.UTR, tentang Pencurian dengan Pemberatan yang dihubungkan dengan Pasal 85 Undang-Undang RI Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 Tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak. Berdasarkan hasil analisis terhadap Putusan Pengadilan Nomor 14/Pid.Sus-Anak/2018/PN.JKT.UTR, tentang Pencurian dengan Pemberatan dapat disimpulkan bahwa Hakim menjatuhkan hukuman pidana penjara terhadap terdakwa berdasarkan Pasal 363 ayat (1) KUH Pidana, Undang-Undang Nomor 3 tahun 1997 tentang pengadilan anak. Dalam analisis, penulis lebih melihat pada tuntutan yang diberikan Jaksa Penuntut Umum sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak, Akibat hukumnya anak yang dijatuhi pidana penjara seharusnya ditempatkan di LPKA (Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak)
