Implementasi Undang-undang Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang (Tppu) Di Indonesia (Suatu Gambaran Tentang Pengetahuan Dan Aplikasi Aparat Penyidik Penuntut Umum Dan Ppatk)

Discrepancy of general knowledge having law enforcement agents on the law model in the criminal justice system in Indonesia, makes the due process of law enforcement officials in applying the Law on Money Laundering (AML) far from optimal. The reviewed knowledge of the law enforcement agents covers investigation process, making indictment, as well as coordination among judiciary institutions, namely the Police as investigators, the Attorney General as prosecutors, and independent institutions for INTRAC (PPATK) as parties involved in providing Consolidated Results Analysis (LHA) of the AML. Due process model with its inhibiting factors ensures the presumption of innocence, thus very carefully promotes the formal process in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code. As a result, the process has become cumbersome bureaucracy, and slow in dealing with cases of AML. The statistical test conducted using frequency and crosstab shows that due process model emphasizes the Criminal Procedure Code, particularly in terms of implementing investigation and prosecution function. This apparently has created disharmony among officials who perform their respective functions. This disharmony ultimately leads to charges of improper gift in capturing the perpetrators of AML. Attorney General as a party that makes the charges against perpetrators of AML cannot function maximally because it does not interfere the investigation process conducted by the police.Eventually, their knowledge levels of and capabilities to apply AML cases are less than optimal. This problem eventually leads to only 27 cases that utilizing AML Law within period of five years. This study finds that there is a need for law enforcement agents to harmonize the investigation utilizing the Attorney General description of general knowledge and application of AML Law

Searching for tidal tails - investigating galaxy harassment

Galaxy harassment has been proposed as a physical process that morphologically transforms low surface density disc galaxies into dwarf elliptical galaxies in clusters. It has been used to link the observed very different morphology of distant cluster galaxies (relatively more blue galaxies with 'disturbed' morphologies) with the relatively large numbers of dwarf elliptical galaxies found in nearby clusters. One prediction of the harassment model is that the remnant galaxies should lie on low surface brightness tidal streams or arcs. We demonstrate in this paper that we have an analysis method that is sensitive to the detection of arcs down to a surface brightness of 29 B mag/arcsec^2 and then use this method to search for arcs around 46 Virgo cluster dwarf elliptical galaxies. We find no evidence for tidal streams or arcs and consequently no evidence for galaxy harassment as a viable explanation for the relatively large numbers of dwarf galaxies found in the Virgo cluster.Comment: Accepted for publication in MNRA

A unified approach to cooperative and non-cooperative sense-and-avoid

Cooperative and non-cooperative Sense-and-Avoid (SAA) capabilities are key enablers for Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) to safely and routinely access all classes of airspace. In this paper state-of-the-art cooperative and non-cooperative SAA sensor/system technologies for small-to-medium size UAV are identified and the associated multi-sensor data fusion techniques are introduced. A reference SAA system architecture is presented based on Boolean Decision Logics (BDL) for selecting and sorting non-cooperative and cooperative sensors/systems including both passive and active Forward Looking Sensors (FLS), Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B). After elaborating the SAA system processes, the key mathematical models associated with both non-cooperative and cooperative SAA functions are presented. The analytical models adopted to compute the overall uncertainty volume in the airspace surrounding an intruder are described. Based on these mathematical models, the SAA Unified Method (SUM) for cooperative and non-cooperative SAA is presented. In this unified approach, navigation and tracking errors affecting the measurements are considered and translated to unified range and bearing uncertainty descriptors, which apply both to cooperative and non-cooperative scenarios. Simulation case studies are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed SAA approach on a representative host platform (AEROSONDE UAV) and various intruder platforms. Results corroborate the validity of the proposed approach and demonstrate the impact of SUM towards providing a cohesive logical framework for the development of an airworthy SAA capability, which provides a pathway for manned/unmanned aircraft coexistence in all classes of airspace

The dwarf low surface brightness population in different environments of the Local Universe

The nature of the dwarf galaxy population as a function of location in the cluster and within different environments is investigated. We have previously described the results of a search for low surface brightness objects in data drawn from an East-West strip of the Virgo cluster (Sabatini et al., 2003) and have compared this to a large area strip outside of the cluster (Roberts et al., 2004). In this talk I compare the East-West data (sampling sub-cluster A and outward) to new data along a North-South cluster strip that samples a different region (part of sub-cluster A, and the N,M clouds) and with data obtained for the Ursa Major cluster and fields around the spiral galaxy M101. The sample of dwarf galaxies in different environments is obtained from uniform datasets that reach central surface brightness values of ~26 B mag/arcsec^2 and an apparent B magnitude of 21 (M_B=-10 for a Virgo Cluster distance of 16 Mpc). We discuss and interpret our results on the properties and distribution of dwarf low surface brightness galaxies in the context of variuos physical processes that are thought to act on galaxies as they form and evolve.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, to appear in "Dark Galaxies and Lost Baryons", IAU244 conference proceeding

Evaluating Mental Health Capitation Treatment: Lessons from Panel Data

The paper evaluates a capitation-financed system of mental health services delivery developed in Rochester, New York. Cost/benefit analysis of the treatment program is implemented on three years of data using program evaluation techniques. Patient outcomes are compared across randomly assigned study groups as well as across enrollment status. The analysis implements difference-in-difference econometric techniques recently developed in the labor economics literature to control for potentially non-random attrition as well as selective non-compliance. We find that patients enrolled in the capitation program do experience significantly lower costs without becoming sicker, even after controlling for attrition and sample selection.
