Bidya Raj Subedi, Ph.D
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
Employing a two-level Hierarchical Generalized Linear Model (HGLM) technique, this paper predicted high school readiness derived from student’s proficiency in reading and mathematics during middle school. The HGLM approach to predict high school readiness (i.e., student’s status being high school ready) incorporated student and school level predictors in level-1 and level-2 models, respectively. This analysis included 7,115 students from 64 schools in one of the largest school districts in United States of America. The results found several academic, demographic, and behavioral predictors at student and school levels producing significant effects on high school readiness. The across-school variance for predicting the probability of high school readiness is also found significant.

Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

This paper examines the impacts of exploitation of wild animals as bush-meat on the conservation of wildlife in Nigeria. This study was carried out in Six (6) States of Nigeria namely Abia; Bauchi; Edo; Kogi; Ondo; and Zamfara State which represents the six geo-political zones of Nigeria namely South-East; North-East; North-Central; South-West; South-South; and North-West in the country. Data were collected from two Local Government Areas (LGAs) which were randomly selected from each of the six states making twelve LGAs within the Study Area using structured questionnaire; oral interview of respondents; and visual observation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics involving tables and figures. Two-factor without replication Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the differences in the wildlife species mostly hunted. The results revealed that Twenty-Six (26) wild animal species were recorded as bush-meat in the Study Area. Eleven percent (11.0%) of the 26 species of bush-meat were recorded in Abia State; 23.0% in Bauchi State; 11.0% in Edo State; 17.0% in Kogi State; 21.0% in Ondo State; and 17.0% in Zamfara state. The wild animals’ exploitation rate shows that the month of March had the highest exploitation rate (25.0%) while the month of September has the lowest extraction rate (8.0%). Most of the respondents (80.3%) in the Study Area carried out hunting activities for income generation while 19.7% respondents carried out hunting activities for food. The results of ANOVA two-factor without replication of the hunted wild animals in the Study Area indicated that there were significant differences (P-value < 0.05 and F-calculated > F-critical) in the wild animal species mostly hunted. This is a pointer to the fact that there will be negative impact of wild animal exploitation on the conservation of wildlife, if nothing is done to reduce hunting activities for income generation.

Act Against the Law Duration Period More Than 460 Days Reviewed from Law No.1 the Year 1981 Concerning Kuhap (Case Study of the Supreme Court Number 121 K / Pid.Sus / 2020)
SAMUEL SOEWITA, S.E., S.H., M.M., M.H
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

ACT AGAINST THE LAW OF THE DETENTION PERIOD MORE THAN 460 DAYS REVIEWED FROM LAW NO. 8 YEAR 1981 CONCERNING THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE (KUHAP)". Detention is carried out by the investigator, prosecutor or court, on the grounds that the suspect or defendant will not run away, destroy or lose evidence and or repeat the criminal act. Detained suspects with the threat of sentences of 5 years or more. Criminal sanctions are the third main problem in criminal law which is actually a means or instrument used to achieve the objectives of criminal law. The word 'criminal' in 'Penal Law' has the meaning of reward or retribution, and therefore every perpetrator of violation of criminal law (KUHP) must be rewarded / retaliated. Such a view will be able to influence the understanding of law enforcers that a suspect / defendant / convict deserves to be rewarded or retaliated since being processed in an investigation through detention to serving a sentence in a Penitentiary (Lapas). Finally, as long as the suspect / defendant is in the State Detention Center (Rutan) to the prison, the treatment they receive is not protection (law), intelligence or a picture of the future welfare that should be received through 'correctional' institutions, but tends to the opposite. Basically, the limitation of the period of detention for a suspect / defendant in any law enforcement agency such as investigators in the Police, public prosecutors at the Attorney General's Office and Judges at the Court have their respective portions as determined by Law No. 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). The research method used is empirical juridical meaning is to identify and conceptualize law as a real and functional social institution in a patterned life system. The data obtained from the literature research conducted a quantitative descriptive-analytic data analysis process, so that a conclusion was obtained. Detention beyond the time limit stipulated by Law No. 8 of 1981 constitutes an act of violating the law and violates human rights as regulated by Law No. 39 of 1999 on Human Rights. Penalties are needed for persons who violate the law and the Supervisory Agency for law enforcement for detention for the sake of establishing law enforcement.

Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

This study analyzes Iranian audit institutions during Ahmadinejad’s presidency through media articles that discuss Iranian audit institutions. It examines two major audit institutions namely the Supreme Audit Court of Iran (SAC) and the Iran Audit Organization (IAO). Eight articles are identified. Five articles discuss SAC, and four articles discuss IAO (one article discusses both SAC and IAO). This study uses NVivo to analyze media articles. The analysis shows that SAC and IAO are two highly discussed Iranian audit institutions, suggesting their importance for the Iranian audit profession. However, it shows that SAC and IAO are criticized despite their importance. This should bring Iranian regulators’ attention to audit institutions and encourage lawmakers to amend new laws to enhance audit institutions’ performance.
