Based on Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2016 on the Mediation Procedurel in Court, mediation is a step that must undertaken before the court hearing process. Therefore, it is important to know the implementation of mediation in Semarang Religious Court and Semarang District Court, especially its role to resolve marriage disputes and child custody cases. The question of the study is how is the role of mediators (both judge and non-judge) in the mediation process of divorce and child custody disputes, and how the role of mediators in implementating of children's rights on the mediation process is. Data was obtained through a documentary research and distributed questionnaires to 3 (three) District Court Judges and 2 (two) Semarang Religious Court Judges, and 3 (three) mediators at Walisongo Mediation Centre (WMC). The findings demonstrated that the role of judge and non-judge mediators in the mediation process of divorce and child custody cases was only as a facilitator. The non-judge mediators held more strict principle of not giving advice in order to maintenance of their neutrality than that of the judge mediators. The mediator has implemented their role by conveying and explaining children's rights, encouraging the parties to put forward the best interests of the child, facilitating women disputant to be able to fight for themselves and their children's interests and needs, and reminding the obligation of both parties to fulfil the needs and the cost of their children's lives if divorce was undertaken as a final solution.

The role of Rural Banks is very large in developing Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. MSMEs are large absorbers of labor and play an important role in economic growth in Indonesia. Government through Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation No. 4/POJK.03/2015 obliges Rural Banks to implement Governance. Corporate Governance is an internal control system that aims to manage its significant risks to meet its long-term business objectives. This study aims to see how the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in the Management of Rural Banks in Sidoarjo Regency, using a qualitative approach. This research uses observation methods in the form of in-depth interviews, participant observation, and a list of questions that informants need to fill in. The results showed that the observed People's Credit Banks had implemented Governance following the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation, seen from 5 pillars: Transparency, Accountability, Responsibility, Independence, and Fairness. The applied GCG also includes planning, management, and operational control of Rural Banks. Fulfillment of the required reports does not prevent fraud from occurring. With the implementation of GCG for Rural Banks, there is still a need for synergy between the Compliance Department and Internal Audit. As for the advice for the OJK as a policymaker, it is better to simplify the requested reports without reducing the risk of fraud so that Rural Banks can carry out their company operations optimally while still implementing good Governance, with the hope that Rural Banks can maintain Going Concern.

A comprehensive translational cancer research approach focused on personalized and precision medicine, and covering the entire cancer research-care-prevention continuum has the potential to achieve in 2030 a 10-year cancer-specific survival for 75% of patients diagnosed in European Union (EU) member states with a well-developed healthcare system. Concerted actions across this continuum that spans from basic and preclinical research through clinical and prevention research to outcomes research, along with the establishment of interconnected high-quality infrastructures for translational research, clinical and prevention trials and outcomes research, will ensure that science-driven and social innovations benefit patients and individuals at risk across the EU. European infrastructures involving comprehensive cancer centres (CCCs) and CCC-like entities will provide researchers with access to the required critical mass of patients, biological materials and technological resources and can bridge research with healthcare systems. Here, we prioritize research areas to ensure a balanced research portfolio and provide recommendations for achieving key targets. Meeting these targets will require harmonization of EU and national priorities and policies, improved research coordination at the national, regional and EU level and increasingly efficient and flexible funding mechanisms. Long-term support by the EU and commitment of Member States to specialized schemes are also needed for the establishment and sustainability of trans-border infrastructures and networks. In addition to effectively engaging policymakers, all relevant stakeholders within the entire continuum should consensually inform policy through evidence-based advice.

Small-holder farmers' livelihoods basically depend on agricultural products and other related activities. Based on this impression, Agricultural Extension Research team conducted cluster-based pre-scaling up of improved tomato variety (Malka shola) at Harari region in two kebeles (Aradas) Kile and Dodota with objectives of scale up the improved Tomato technologies for increasing the production and productivity for the improvement of small-scale farmers livelihood and strengthen the linkages among stakeholders on the promotion of tomato technologies for one year (2019/2020). For this research activity, 100 farmers with 40% (pre-harvest to post harvest) women composition were participated by grouping them in three clusters, from land preparation to marketing of their products. As a result, 21.88ton/ha at cluster1 12.37ton/ha at cluster 2 and 14.59ton/ha at cluster 3 were produced from the total 75 hectares of land by irrigation system at off season in which Agricultural Extension Research team provided all necessary inputs to targeted farmers according to the land size they own and know how. Throughout this research activity implementation the disease occurrence, ups and down of market price, shortage of seed supply and non-frequent advices from immediate local development agents were raised by farmers as challenges. Therefore, research institutes, government's development organizations, NGOs, and other stakeholders should jointly focus on plant protection, market linkage strengthening, facilitation, capacitating, monitoring and evaluate on ground situation at field and farmers level.

The Study to Investigate COVID-19 Infection in People Living in Ireland (SCOPI) took place between 15 June and 16 July 2020. The results of the study have now been published. This study, the first of its kind in Ireland, measured antibodies to COVID-19 in a representative sample of 1,733 persons aged 12 to 69 years in Sligo and Dublin. The study found that 3.1% (28/913) of participants in Dublin had antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, indicating previous infection. In Sligo, 0.6% (5/820) of participants had antibodies. The estimated national prevalence rate was 1.7%, suggesting that over 59,000 people between the age of 12 and 69 years had previous COVID-19 infection. This is 3 times higher than the number of cases reported through COVID-19 PCR testing. Nearly three-quarters (73%) of participants with antibodies had symptoms in keeping with the national COVID-19 case definition (at least one of the following: fever, sudden onset cough, shortness of breath, loss of smell, loss of taste). One third (33%) of those with antibodies reported loss of sense of smell and/or taste. The low national prevalence rate found in this study indicates that very few people have been exposed to the virus, and there is still a very high risk of community transmission if the current Public Health measures are not continued. Therefore, it is necessary to continue good hygiene practices and social distancing, and to follow the advice of the government and public health officials.

The country operations business plan (COBP), 2021–2023 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for Uzbekistan is consistent with the recent initiatives of the government; ADB's country partnership strategy (CPS), 2019–2023 for Uzbekistan; and ADB's Strategy 2030 operational priorities. The key objective of ADB's CPS is to support the country's move toward a vibrant and inclusive market economy, including the transformation of the state's role. ADB will assist in this transition by providing policy advice, investments, and capacity development in three strategic areas: (i) supporting private sector development, (ii) reducing economic and social disparities, and (iii) promoting regional cooperation and integration (RCI). To this end, this COBP includes operational support for energy, transport, finance, agriculture, water supply and other urban infrastructure, health, and education. To support the government in combating the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the COBP incorporates projects, accounting for 13% of the financial envelope, in education, health, finance, and urban and water. They improve distance learning in public education, widen access to clean water and sanitation, strengthen the health care system's resilience to the pandemic and emergencies, and accelerate post-COVID recovery of small and family businesses. In identifying new projects for the COBP, ADB considered the government's policy to expand private sector engagement in investment projects, sector reforms and absorptive capacity of investments, and an expected cap on external borrowing. ADB also sequenced the projects in the pipeline based on their readiness for implementation, especially in terms of procurement and consultant recruitment.

ABSTRACT The success of a company is supported by the role of a leader with his leadership style. The application of leadership is very influential on employee work motivation because to meet their needs requires the support from a leader. Occupational safety and health (OHS) programs are very important because when employees give a good perception of occupational safety and health programs, OHS behavior tends to be good. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of leadership style with work motivation, employee performance, and health safety perception in Cendana Water Treatment Plant of PDAM Tirta Kencana, Samarinda City. This type of analytic survey research with cross sectional approach was conducted in July 2019. The research sample of 54 people (total sampling) and data analysis using Pearson correlation test with significance level (α<0,05). The results showed that as many as 34 employees rated the authoritarian leadership style with most employees having low and high motivation (p-value 0,022), as many as 20 employees having moderate performance (p-value 0,008), as many as 21 employees having good OHS perceptions (p-value 0,000). It was concluded that there was a relationship between leadership style with work motivation, leadership style with employee performance, and leadership style with K3 perception in Cendana Water Treatment Plant of PDAM Tirta Kencana, Samarinda City. The leader must be able to apply a more effective leadership style, for example applying a democratic leadership style that always receives input and advice from his subordinates.

Whereas the driving factor for disability voters to participate is from the political stimuli that the organizers have given, the social characteristics and the situation of the political environment itself. The advice given to increase the political participation of disability voters is that it needs support from the family to introduce the importance of political participation and from political stimulation provided by the organizers. voter data collection due to many voters including disability voters who are not registered.Keywords: Political Participation, Disability voters, election, family introduce

Think tanks, or policy advice institutions, are civil society organizations producing and delivering social analysis to policymakers and the wider public. Their aim is to influence policy in a given direction. Compared to most other civil society organizations, they hold relatively privileged positions, both in terms of wealth (on average bigger budgets and staffs), political influence (their very raison d'être), knowledge (educational level of the staff), and social networks. Thus, it seems beyond dispute that think tanks adhere to the elite of civil society. This article focuses on think tanks' negative self-identification, on their reluctance to accept labels. Not only are think tanks unwilling to take on the elite designation, some of them also deny being part of civil society, and some go one step further in denying identification with the think tank community. These multiple denials are expected if we recall Pierre Bourdieu's observation that "all aristocracies define themselves as being beyond all definition" (Bourdieu, 1996, p. 316). The analysis focuses on how this definitional ambiguity is discursively constructed. Think-tankers are often described as situated in an interstitial space between such fields as politics, civil society, media, market, and academia. While this intermediary position is the source of their unique role as converters of various forms of capital, it also complicates the identity formation of think tanks. The argument is illustrated by Polish think tanks and the data consists of original interviews with think tank leaders. The article provides a novel perspective on think tanks and on civil society elites.

This article presents the analysis of verbal filling of the «war» concept in author's vision of the popular modern writer Halyna Vdovychenko, based on the example of the novel «Маriupol's process», which covers military developments in the East of Ukraine in summer 2014. The relevance of covering military discourse, which is distinguished by different interpretations of this concept in divers national and individual author views of the world and also in the contexts of miscellaneous historical periods, is disclosed. As an approach's basis to revealing the content of the analised concept, the views of T.Hraban and О.Shostak, who advice to highlight 10 сomponents of the following mini-concepts: labour, enemy, hate, fear, associate, wound, death, distruction, greatness, dirt in it, were chosen. Except of them, the verbal filling of the notions «weapon», «reasons of war», proverbs, jargon, which are connected with the verbalization of the concept, were analysed. ; У статті представлено аналіз вербального наповнення концепту «війна» в авторському баченні популярної сучасної української письменниці Галини Вдовиченко на прикладі роману «Маріупольський процес», що висвітлює воєнні події на Сході України влітку та восени 2014 р. Розкрито актуальність висвітлення воєнного дискурсу, що визначається відмінними інтерпретаціями цього поняття в різних національних та індивідуально-авторських картинах світу, а також у контексті різних історичних періодів. За основу підходу до розкриття змісту аналізованого концепту в романі «Маріупольський процес» ми обрали погляди Т.Храбан та О.Шостак, які радять виділяти у ньому 10 складових міні-концептів: праця, ворог, ненависть, страх, соратник, поранення, смерть, зруйнування, велич, бруд.

Sports psychology is a young scientific discipline that represents the
application of psychology in sports and physical activity. Although the
science of sports psychology has proven to significantly enhance sports
performance and contribute to sports results, its role in practice is not
always clearly defined. The aim of this paper is to look at how coaches and
managers, being the people who work with athletes most closely and whose
advice is respected most, perceive the role of psychologists and
psychological science in sports. Obviously, the key issue is not the
acceptance of psychic factors as significant for sports success, or their
detection and defining. The main problem lies in practical application of
this knowledge, and more precisely, in acceptance of psychological experts
by sports managers and coaches. The role of psychological experts in sports
is still influenced by the individual attitudes and perceptions of coaches
and sports management. It has been shown hence, that football coaches do
accept participation of psychologists in working with athletes, but they
reserve the right to determine their area of work. Younger and higher
educated coaches are more ready to engage psychologists in work with
athletes. A survey amongst students of the Faculty of Sport showed that
future coaches and sports managers, by studying the subject ?Psychology of
Sports?, gained full understanding of the importance of psychological
factors and the role of psychological science and psychologists in sports.
The expectation is that education of experts in sports will influence change
in existing attitudes, thereby improving, refining and humanizing work with
athletes.

Purpose
This paper aims to study the development of the Liverpool Knowledge Quarter Sustainability Network (KQSN). It outlines the sectors included in the collaborative knowledge-sharing, the nature of the work it facilitates, and considers how the network can transform its existing objectives around the shared vision of the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs).


Design/methodology/approach
The KQSN operates in a collaborative cross-sectoral forum to support, facilitate or coordinate projects around sustainability, with core leads sitting in higher education and health care.


Findings
The KQSN supports projects through collaborative activity and enables members to access specialist advice available through the network. Through its membership, the KQSN is primed to develop metrics for demonstrating Knowledge Quarter SDG-aligned activity. The KQSN has scope to increase its level of implementation arising from its shared values, with a renewed focus around the SDGs.


Practical implications
This paper contributes to the 2018 EAUC Annual Conference theme of "Collaborations for Change" and the need for transformative partnerships that are prepared to align their mission to the SDGs.


Originality/value
Unlike discipline- or sector-specific networks, the KQSN has an inclusive membership, making it an original multi-disciplinary sustainability platform for neighbouring organisations in and around Liverpool's Knowledge Quarter. This case study can support other knowledge cluster communities to replicate its model. This case study also presents a diverse range of small projects, which are easily replicable and hopefully will inspire others to do something similar.

Year after year the number of students in higher education increases worldwide, and particularly in the virtual mode. In the face of this reality, a series of phenomena combine that have driven university institutions to reinvent themselves. The objective of this work is to analyze the influence of globalization and internationalization on the curriculum of university education, with particular emphasis on Latin American virtual education. The methodology used is the review of both literature specialized in the subject and official documents of the agencies involved. The results reveal that: 1) multilateral agencies have been made efforts to establish two-way academic partnership and cooperation agreements, on the one hand, to promote the mobility of students and teachers, as well as the realization of joint projects; on the other hand, to promote the processes of quality control and internationalization of the curriculum. 2) Regarding virtual education in the region, the need to ensure and demonstrate the quality of its programs has been set, with the Latin American and Caribbean Institute of Quality in Distance Higher Education (CALED) being one of the main references regarding guidelines and instruments for evaluation and advice to universities on quality assessment and accreditation processes. It is concluded that the internationalization of the curriculum in virtual university education in Latin America faces the challenge of taking the step towards comprehensive internationalization, that is, the one that comprehensively impacts the curriculum from a conceptual and cultural structure including interdisciplinary studies and multiculturalism.
