Democracy and local political participation in Sumedang,Indonesia

Indonesia is a country that implements a democratic political system. As such, the involvement of society in the political process becomes very important. The purpose of this article is to research the democracy and local political participation in Sumedang. The study uses qualitative methods with primary data obtained from field observations and direct interviews of several informants. Additionally, the researchers use secondary data as a complement to the analysis. The results of this study indicate that the community at the local level truly understands the importance of political participation. However, due to disappointment in government performance, a part of the community has become discouraged from participating in the political process conducted by local governments. Several factors hinder efforts to encourage political participation. These include limited access to political aspirations that are still rare and the process of political education that is still low.     

基于公众服务的网上行政审批系统模型研究

中国的电子政务建设刚刚起步,迫切需要各种理论和实践的支持。通过对电子政务重要组成部分———面向公众服务的行政审批系统的分析,从系统和工程的观点提出了可以应用到行政审批系统中的角色互动网络模型,并通过给出的模型建立行政审批系统的应用软件系统框架结构、网络体系结构、建设模式、运行管理模式。网上审批是信息时代对公共管理发展客观需要的现实选择。它的影响不仅在于手段的电子化,更重要的是还会引起管理价值、管理范式、管理权力、管理职能、管理组织、管理主客体等方面的变化。网上审批将通过信息技术与公共管理的有机融合促使公共管理由传统的管制管理向服务管理的转变。

Institutional Arrangements and State and Local Financial Forecasting

Abstract

The articles in this symposium present various consequences that effectively result in changes from adopted budgets during the implementation phase, which derive from institutional structure. The institutional structures referred to include such attributes as internal policy, procedural methodology, longevity in office, and reward and incentive systems related to performance outcomes

For local governments, structural influences studied include changes in leadership in the executive and legislative branches, longevity in office of budget administrators, and differences related to mayor-council vs. council-manager forms of government. Internal policies reported on cover methodology used to forecast revenues such as quantitative methods versus informed judgment, budgetary controls and spending policy related to mandated spending beyond local government control, and procedures for benchmarking within the agency as well as with peer groups and professional standards.

Consortia of governments are referenced regarding performance evaluation as is the process for gaining consensus between the executive and legislative branches, including expert outside opinion. Other influences on performance outcomes reported on are those tied to the risk-reward system built in to the institutional structure, which includes risk tolerance of the individuals who make pension fund investments.     

论“办案信息共享平台”建设及对公安讯问新挑战

跨公检法的“办案信息共享平台”建设从提出以来,不同模式先后在实际运行并各有利弊。从应然价值定位角度评析现有模式,并就平台建设主体、客体范围、运行规则方面展望其发展方向。在此背景下,刑事案件办理的关键节点均将嵌入平台,建议进行讯问同步录音像等制度“平台留痕化”相关改革,为侦查终结前讯问合法性核查等制度构建提供便利。侦查讯问行为将受到更严格的过程性监督与合法性考验,提出若干机制和具体措施应对公安侦查讯问新挑战。     

侦查环节排除非法证据思考简

非法证据的排除在理论上已经形成共识,但在刑事诉讼实践中未形成行动中的共识.侦查环节排除非法证据问题是其中的重点和难点.侦查环节排除非法证据不仅是法治精神的底线要求,也是防止错案、保障人权的必然要求.侦查环节排除非法证据,必须改变观念,检视当下侦查环节排除非法证据存在的问题,在侦查机关内外建立排除非法证据的发现、审查、认定和制裁机制.     

我国高教服务全过程评价指标体系及实证研究

高等教育评价是考察教育质量和水平的重要手段和途径,而评价的质量保障取决于评价指标体系的科学构建。本研究侧重于高等教育的服务功能,其评价视角是将服务过程与服务结果两方面相结合,构建了高等教育服务全过程的评价指标体系,并进一步对目前我国各地区高等教育服务的效率和实力予以了综合评价。结果表明:提高高教的效率和实力的前提是拥有较高的经济发展水平;反过来,教育的高效运行也可以进一步刺激当地经济的发展。     

An Aquatic Decomposition Scoring Method to Potentially Predict the Postmortem Submersion Interval of Bodies Recovered from the North Sea

This study aimed to develop an aquatic decomposition scoring (ADS) method and investigated the predictive value of this method in estimating the postmortem submersion interval (PMSI) of bodies recovered from the North Sea. This method, consisting of an ADS item list and a pictorial reference atlas, showed a high interobserver agreement (Krippendorff's alpha ≥ 0.93) and hence proved to be valid. This scoring method was applied to data, collected from closed cases—cases in which the postmortal submersion interval (PMSI) was known—concerning bodies recovered from the North Sea from 1990 to 2013. Thirty‐eight cases met the inclusion criteria and were scored by quantifying the observed total aquatic decomposition score (TADS). Statistical analysis demonstrated that TADS accurately predicts the PMSI (p < 0.001), confirming that the decomposition process in the North Sea is strongly correlated to time.     

Enhancing Information Sharing in Family Drug Courts: A Lean Six Sigma Case Study

Given the variety of stakeholders involved in cases within family drug courts, efficient communication and information sharing, which are needed to support decision‐making, can be quite challenging. Through a case study in one family drug court system, this research employed an action research approach to improve the information sharing process following the Lean Six Sigma methodology. The solutions implemented through this study contributed to improving the quality of the services provided by this court system and its overall productivity. In addition, this research extends our knowledge about methods for improving court systems from which others can learn to guide future improvement efforts.
