The Predatory Pricing Practice: The Challenges of Business Competition Law on Ride-Hailing Tariff’s War

The predatory pricing is inherently a dynamic strategy typically taking place in a single market, whereby a firm incurs a sacrifice in the short run to exclude competitors, in order to acquire a dominant position. In order to establish fair business growth and ensure equal business opportunities, a healthy environment for the business competition is highly needed. Since 2014, the market share of the ride-hailing sector in Indonesia has been dominated by three providers, namely Grab, Gojek, and Maxim. The three companies provide subsidies and discounts on services-price so that users' rates are cheaper than conventional taxis. This certainly has led to unfair competition and is very detrimental to conventional taxi. This research is normative juridical research that uses a statutory approach and a conceptual approach to analyze the alleged predatory pricing practices in the ride-hailing industry in Indonesia from the perspective of business competition law. The results show that the imposition of unfair prices can be seen from prices gap shown in the application with prices imposition, which should be based on travel distance in order to acquire a dominant position allowing it to recoup its losses and earn supracompetitive profits in the long run. This pattern of sacrifice-then-recoupment is found in the case law as well

Permohonan Pembatalan Perkawinan Yang Dilakukan Istri Pertama Berdasarkan UU No.1 Tahun 1974 Tentang Perkawinan

Penelitian ini berjudul permohonan pembatalan perkawinan yang dilakukan istri pertama berdasarkan UU No. 1 tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan, dengan identifikasi masalah istri pertama dapat mengajukan permohonan pembatalan perkawinan terhadap perkawinan suaminya dengan istri kedua dan akibat hukum pembatalan terhadap anak yang lahir dari perkawinan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pembatalan perkawinan oleh istri pertama dapat dilakukan terhadap perkawinan suami dengan istri kedua dan untuk mengetahui bagaimana akibat hukum pembatalan perkawinan terhadap anak yang dilahirkan dari perkawinan. Lokasi penelitian ini bertempat di pengadilan Agama dan Pengadilan Negeri Palu dengan metode penelitian yuridis empiris. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Istri pertama tidak dapat melakukan pembatalan perkawinan suaminya atas perkawinan dengan istri kedua karena suaminya tidak dapat bersikap adil dalam menjalankan rumah tangga sebagaimana pernyataan dihadapan pengadilan pada saat memohon ijin melakukan poligami.Kecuali istri hanya dapat mencari keadilan dalam hal pelaksanaan pernyataannya sebagaiman dibuat pada saat bermohon beristri lebih dari satu. Dalam hal terjadi pembatalan perkawinan, maka anak yang lahir dari perkawinan yang dimohon pembatalan, tetap menjadi tanggung jawab kedua orang tuanya seperti halnya sebelum perkawinannya dibatalkan. Tanggung jawab tersebut akan berlangsung sampai anak tersebut dewasa. Tanggung jawab meliputi biaya hidup sehari-hari dan pendidika

Ion funnel quadrupole time of Flight mass spectrometry: optimization for achieving all ion MS/MS and pseudo MSn

An attempt has been made to study and understand Ion funnel technology for improved detection and measurement capabilities of ions originating from small molecules. Different ways to create and study collision induced fragments have been explored and strategies to achieve various kinds of all ions MS/MS have been discussed. We observed that stability of ions in the system is largely controlled by the funnel exit DC voltage and Rf voltages of the low pressure funnel also contributes to the collision induced dissociation of the ions. An appropriate mix of in source collision energy coupled with Funnel exit DC voltage and low pressure funnel Rf voltage can induce extensive fragmentation of the ions mimicking several stages of MS/MS simultaneously

A proposal for a protocol for prevention and control of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is an extremely infectious disease and has already infected almost three million persons in more than two hundred countries. Based on our current knowledge of this virus and in absence of a vaccine, this article is an attempt to propose out of box ways to prevent and control COVID-19 virus, using linear lipid molecules such as sodium stearate (a major component of ordinary bar soap) or lipid esters for hand sanitization, mouth wash, gargling, steam inhaling and as lungs inhaler along with zinc and copper to trap and inactivate COVID-19. Sunbathing will boost desperately needed good immune system. The ancient Indian techniques of Yoga (Developing inherent power in a balanced manner), Pranayama (Retention and Extension of the breath), Jal-Neti (Nasal irrigation by saline water) and Havan (Holy fire ritual) may also help in controlling this epidemic (COVID-19) of gargantuan proportions by helping the immune system

Profile of gross congenital malformations among live newborns and its associated risk factors from a tertiary care rural teaching institute

Background: Congenital malformations are defects in morphogenesis during early fetal life. The objective was to study the profile of gross congenital malformations among live newborns and its associated risk factors from a tertiary care rural teaching hospital of north India.Methods: It is a cross- sectional, descriptive. All the babies born in the hospital (live births) during January 2014 to December 2014 formed the baseline population and those with gross congenital malformations were included in the study. Antenatal records were assessed and mothers were interviewed for socio-demographic variables.Results: There were 6143 live births out of which 109 had gross congenital malformations giving an incidence of 1.7%. Central nervous system was most commonly affected (48%) followed by musculoskeletal (28%) and gastrointestinal system (13%). Incidence of congenital malformations was more among multi-parous females, preterm and low birth weight babies.Conclusions: A relative increase in the incidence of congenital malformations once again implies the importance of public health education and regular antenatal screening. We also, strongly recommend mandatory screening of all newborns by pediatrician after birth for timely detection and best possible treatment of these congenital malformations

SELF-RELIANCE CHARACTERISTICS IN TAYLOR SWIFT'S SONGS: A STUDY ON LYRICS AND MESSAGES

This research aims to contribute to the exploration of self-reliance by examining the lyrics of Taylor Swift’s songs. This research intends to categorizing the data based on the kinds of self-reliance characteristics in Taylor Swift songs’ lyrics and describing the contextual meanings which implied in Taylor Swift’s songs’ lyrics. The data were collected from Taylor Swift’s album “Lover”, with a focus on three of her songs, including “The Man”, “ME!”, and “You Need to Calm Down”. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze the data, which was obtained by a thorough examination of the lyrics and close listening to the songs. Subsequently, the data was classified according to the self-reliance concept proposed by Ralph Waldo Emerson. The study findings indicate the existence three different characteristics of self-reliance, including trust in oneself, nonconformity and independent thinking. Significantly, the most dominant of these characteristics was nonconformity, it found four lines of lyrics in all song which has examined. The study also identified two lines of lyrics in “The Man” and “ME!” that express true in oneself characteristics, three lines of lyrics in “ME!” and “You Need to Calm Down” that illustrate the independent thinking. The objective of this study is to make contribution to the current discourse on the important of self-reliance in modern society by examining the self-reliance characteristics found in Taylor Swift’s songs’ lyrics. Furthermore, the result of this study may have implication for the role of music, art and literary work in promoting values such as individualism, self-reliance and nonconformity
