The aim of this research was to analyze the attitudes of the student population at the University of Split towards asylum seekers as a multidimensional threat to the community in the context of risk society. We have approached the empirical data collection within a multidimensional theoretical framework. The first part of our subject interest is the theoretical direction of reflexive modernity and risk society proposed by Ulrich Beck, while the second part deals with the theoretical explanations regarding the perception of asylum seekers as a threat. In accordance with the research objective, a stratified sample of 286 Croatian students from the University of Split expressed their attitudes toward asylum seekers using a scale. Reliability of the used questionnaire was assessed by using test and retest method. Results indicate that students perceived asylum seekers as a statistically significantly more realistic than a symbolic threat. The respondents thus recognize one, equally important yet diffuse phenomenon showing interest among the respondents for the rational choice but also for respecting the individual’s subjectivity.

This article aims to analyze the potential for the practice of buying and selling votes or vote buying in the election of village heads or Perbekel in Tabanan Regency, Bali. This article explores regulatory aspects, views, and variations that occur in society, including efforts to reduce the practice of buying and selling votes. In recent years, in every holding of village head elections or perbekel in several areas, there are always vote buying practices and various activities. To answer this question, the study in this article uses empirical legal research which analyzes the implementation of the law regarding village head elections regulation in reality in the community with a focus on two villages in Tabanan Regency, Bali. This article uses interview and documentation for data collection techniques and uses a rational choice institutionalism framework. With this theoretical framework, it tells the empirical facts that the calculated practice of buying votes is determined by calculations that are all profitable for the candidates and the voters. The opportunity for this practice to occur is considered to be large, carried out by perbekel officers with incumbent status. There are several offers to reduce this problem, namely by using a special website that manages the election of perbekel by loading the profile of the perbekel candidates specifically to ensure the accountability of the election. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis potensi terjadinya praktik jual beli suara atau vote buying dalam pemilihan kepala desa atau perbekel di Kabupaten Tabanan, Provinsi Bali. Artikel ini  mengeksplorasi aspek regulasi, pandangan, dan ragam benturan yang terjadi di masyarakat termasuk upaya-upaya pereduksian praktik jual beli suara tersebut. Pada beberapa tahun belakangan, pada setiap penyelenggaraan pemilihan kepala desa atau perbekel serentak pada beberapa wilayah senantiasa di ikuti oleh adanya praktik-praktik jual beli suara atau vote buying dengan beragam bentuk aktifitasnya. Untuk menjawab persoalan tersebut, studi pada artikel ini menggunakan penelitian hukum empiris dimana menganalisis implementasi hukum terkait pelaksanaan regulasi pemilihan kepala desa dalam realitasnya di masyarakat dengan fokus dua desa di Kabupaten Tabanan, Bali. Artikel ini menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara dan dokumentasi serta dianalisis menggunakan frame teoritik rational choice institusionalism. Melalui frame  teoritik ini memperlihatkan fakta empirik bahwa praktik vote buying  dianggap turut ditentukan oleh kalkulasi-kalkulasi yang serba menguntungkan baik bagi kalangan kandidat maupun masyarakat pemilihnya. Peluang terjadinya praktik ini dianggap berpotensi besar dilakukan oknum perbekel yang berstatus incumbent. Terdapat beberapa tawaran mereduksi persoalan ini , yaitu dengan pemanfaatan website khusus yang mengelola pemilihan perbekel dengan memuat profil perbekel secara khusus untuk menjamin akuntabilitas pemilihan.

Complex Movement

Complex movement patterns of pedestrian traffic, ranging from unidirectional to multidirectional flows, are frequently observed in major public infrastructure such as transport hubs. These multidirectional movements can result in increased number of conflicts, thereby influencing the mobility and safety of pedestrian facilities. Therefore, empirical data collection on pedestrians’ complex movement has been on the rise in the past two decades. Although there are several reviews of mathematical simulation models for pedestrian traffic in the existing literature, a detailed review examining the challenges and opportunities on empirical studies on the pedestrians complex movements is limited in the literature. The overall aim of this study is to present a systematic review on the empirical data collection for uni- and multidirectional crowd complex movements. We first categorized the complex movements of pedestrian crowd into two general categories, namely, external governed movements and internal driven movements based on the interactions with the infrastructure and among pedestrians, respectively. Further, considering the hierarchy of movement complexity, we decomposed the externally governed movements of pedestrian traffic into several unique movement patterns including straight line, turning, egress and ingress, opposing, weaving, merging, diverging, and random flows. Analysis of the literature showed that empirical data were highly rich in straight line and egress flow while medium rich in turning, merging, weaving, and opposing flows, but poor in ingress, diverging, and random flows. We put emphasis on the need for the future global collaborative efforts on data sharing for the complex crowd movements.

Namibia’s classroom compositions are diverse. Its policies on diversity reflect international practices of achieving Education for All. It advocates for teacher education that is responsive to the country’s needs.  What is unknown is what a socio-cultural curriculum means in Namibian teacher education. This article focuses on the nature of the UNAM’s B.Ed. curriculum and how students learn its contents.  I argue that teacher education for diversity should go beyond traditional teacher education programmes. Its curricula should adopt a socio-cultural view. Coursework and teaching practice should reflect the needs of learners and society.  Data collection consisted of documents, and interviews.  Content analysis was used. Findings revealed that teaching practice lacked dedication in regard to diversity teaching. Consequently, the B.Ed. Programme partially equipped students with competencies to teach diverse learners because coursework alone cannot suffice. The study contributes to knowledge of what a socio-cultural curriculum means in Namibian teacher education.
