The Challenges to Improving Public Services and Judicial Operations: A unique balance between pursuing justice and public service in Indonesia

This chapter explores judicial perspectives on sentencing minor drug offenders in Indonesia. As a basis for the framework for this study, a concept of Goffman on dramaturgy was used to explain the dramaturgical competence of the panel judges in their attempts to show accountability to their audiences (i.e., the sphere of politics, the public, and religion). Conceptualisation of this study stems from this author former self-identity as a judge but also from the author biography since the author more familiar with the practical pressure and challenges of lower court judges. This chapter contributes to knowledge by considering that the judicial awareness of the issues surrounding justice and public acceptance led to the situation where they were attempting to present a unique balance between pursuing justice and public service

All Roads Lead to ATF4

AbstractMultiple intracellular stress pathways converge on a single event—phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor eIF2α and subsequent translational activation of the transcription factor ATF4. Exploring the consequences of this event has highlighted the ways in which stress is sensed and responded to via many distinct pathways

Message oriented programming - The case for first class messages

The first class status of message oriented programing (MoP) in the languages as metaclass is discussed. It is found that explicit metaclass called message, and definition and evaluation of messages is needed to support MoP. The compile time MoP have the capacity to tailor specific call site, that allows the programmer to talk to the compiler intimately. It is concluded that meta modeling is useful for understanding advanced computational concepts in languages, using computational reflection
