Background and context: In 2013, Dutch society was polarized on the tobacco topic. Sense of urgency was low among most stakeholders. Therefore, the Dutch Cancer Society, Heart and Lung foundations created a coalition with a mutual goal and joined efforts in realizing it. The common strategy resulted in a stepwise roadmap toward a smoke-free generation. According to their capacities and fields of interests, coalition partners were allocated subthemes to focus on as part of the one common overall strategy. In addition new coalition partners were sought and found among stakeholders in sectors with high influence on society and politics with respect to the main priorities following from the roadmap. In this way, the smoke-free movement grows like a rolling snowball. Aim: To realize a smoke-free generation by 2035 by working together. Strategy/Tactics: By striving for a smoke-free generation, we are protecting youth against tobacco. We aim for a society in which parents of children born from now onward will be able to raise them without any exposure to tobacco smoke and the temptation to start smoking. So that they never decide to start smoking. We developed a roadmap toward the smoke-free generation that holds a low threshold for people to start participating and is positively framed. It's consistent with all political colors, takes away polarization and opens conversation. This presentation will discuss the basic principles of the frame, the stepwise roadmap and the instruments we use to achieve our goal: lobby, communication and stakeholders activation, including the results of our approach. And we will show practical examples of how a rapid growing number of parties contribute, such as playgrounds, sports clubs and hospitals that become smoke-free and local governments. Program/Policy process: A roadmap toward a smoke-free generation was created and the efforts of the 3 NGOs were combined to become more effective and efficient in realizing the goal together. Outcomes: More than 100 organization are working together toward a smoke-free generation, environments where children recreate/are are becoming smoke free, the % of smokers is declining, the government is taking its responsibility, the support from society for tobacco control is increasing, and tobacco has been reframed into a positive movement. What was learned: A mutual goal works, positive framing leads to more and more partners that work toward the smoke-free generation and it is possible to turn a negative or neutral tobacco control climate into a climate that is more positive toward effective tobacco control.

Abstract: This article discusses about the pathology of law enforcement against corruption. The pathology of law enforcement against corruption is due to the low moral integrity of the law enforcement apparatus, the government’s bureaucratic system that impedes the law enforcement process, and the unusual relationship between local government and legal institutions. The solutions for the law enforcement against corruption are: (1) working together among communities, media, and NGOs to control and supervise the behavior of law enforcement officials; (2) the government bureaucracy system should have well conceptualized system especially in relation to legal institutions; (3) and improvement of the political system in the region by blocking access to negotiations between local governments and law institutions. Keywords: Pathology, law enforcement, criminal act of corruption. Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas tentang patologi penegakan hukum terhadap tindak pidana korupsi.

Taxes are the country's largest source of income. Cigarettes are one of the goods that are subject to excise, and the results of cigarette excise are included in taxes for the region. The regulation on cigarettes has two opposite sides and traps in quite a dilemma. On the one hand, the cigarette tax provides a large income for a region, but on the other hand, the government must also be responsible for the negative impact of cigarettes on the health of its consumers, which results in an increase in the budget for health facilities. Law Number 28 of 2009 concerning Regional Taxes and Regional Levies Article 31 on cigarette taxes that enter local government revenues applies a minimum of 50% to enter into health service funding. The object of this research is the Regional Revenue Agency (BAPENDA) of Java Province. West Java Provincial Health Office. This research uses descriptive research methods and a qualitative approach. The use of cigarette taxes in West Java has been appropriate in terms of the inclusion of cigarette tax results in the health budget, but the absorption is still not optimal. The West Java Health Office focuses on the fulfillment of medical devices to deal with the negative effects of smoking on society. Meanwhile, local governments should be better at absorbing the budget from cigarette taxes in order to be effective and efficient in their use, then there needs to be socialization to the public regarding the special cigaretttax allocation for the health budget.

Background and context: Finland has set itself the goal of ending the use of tobacco and other nicotine products by 2030. This would mean that <5% of the adult population would use tobacco and nicotine products daily. This goal has been set out in the Tobacco Act (2016). To help realize the goal, a working group appointed by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health proposed 31 May 2018 a roadmap of measures. How does the Cancer Society of Finland best support these actions? Aim: Tobacco control is at the core focus of cancer prevention. The Cancer Society's strategic purpose is beating cancer. Strategy/Tactics: The Cancer Society of Finland supports advocacy work for tobacco- and nicotine-free Finland 2030 within several networks. The society has identified its strategic position in tobacco-control activities. Both its strategy and its communications need to be responsive and flexible. When creating awareness on societal level of cancer burden, we must not forget the role of the tobacco industry. Analyzing tobacco industry arguments and use of media is part of our strategic planning. Because tobacco industry strategies are global, the arguments it deploys can be anticipated. In Europe, third-party strategies and criticism toward regulation are among the usual industry tactics and are well documented. Program/Policy process: Tobacco-control legislation in Finland has been well received. One role for NGOs like the Cancer Society is to create critical awareness of industry tactics, especially among stakeholders, in the media, and in decision-making. Article 5.3. of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control needs better implementation and guidelines in Finland. Outcomes: Collaborative networks both nationally, regionally and globally are bases of tobacco control advocacy. Engaging the cancer community in tobacco control is a unique role for cancer societies. What was learned: 1. Experience sharing within network structures nationally and on the Nordic, European and global level is essential for effective advocacy. 2. In the field of communication analysis of industry arguments can spur effective media strategies to support tobacco control.

The existence of industry in a city has an important role in the survival of society. Industry managers, as well as industrial environment are closely related to the regional government, because it is one of the planning of the city layout of an area. The importance of maintaining good relations has been realized by every company. How they foster good relations with the local government, the community, and the environment around the company. The existence of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) helps the company to establish such good relationships, besides the mutually beneficial relationships between companies and communities, companies with local governments that such things can help mitigate and minimize conflicts that occur. In the drafting of Perda CSR, the DPRD and the government sometimes do not pay attention to the parties who become the object subject to the responsibility of Perda, in this case the company. The government should understand the construction of corporate thinking, because it will be contradictory when on the one hand the region seeks to attract investors to invest their capital, while on the other hand due to too many rules, formal and informal costs, even make investors reluctant to invest. In this research use social control theory, and social action, also institutionalism organizational.In this study using the type of qualitative research with phenomenology approach which of the phenomenon is doing an observation, then use field notes as well as in-depth interviews of informants who are selected based on purposife.

Implementation of district level "four children better" family planning policy in MalinauPurposeThis study aimed to analyze the implementation of family planning program policy in Malinau.MethodsA case study was conducted through in-depth interviews with 18 participants.ResultsThe policy of the government in Malinau is ‘four children are better’. Differences in perceptions between stakeholders, providers, and users about family planning affecting social, economic, cultural, beliefs have an impact on contraceptive use in Malinau. The use of contraception is not prohibited for people with medical indications for using contraception, but peo­ple should access the contraception independently in the private sector.ConclusionThe policy of the Ma­linau government to stop the supply of contraceptives to government health facilities since 2012 is an effort by local governments to increase the number of inland and border populations. The unavailability of con­traceptives in government health facilities and the limitations of family planning information, communica­tion and education lead to differences in perceptions between stakeholders, service providers, and users. Therefore, the researcher recommends that the relevant regional apparatus unit does advocacy to legislative and executive boards in Malinau. The local government shall ensure the availability and quality of family planning services for the community on the basis of reproductive health rights.

Agriculture has one of the highest shares of foreign-born and unauthorized workers among US industries; over three-fourths of hired farm workers were born abroad, usually in Mexico, and over half of all farm workers are unauthorized. Farm employers are among the few to openly acknowledge their dependence on migrant and unauthorized workers, and they oppose efforts to reduce unauthorized migration unless the government legalizes currently illegal farm workers or provides easy access to legal guest workers. The effects of migrants on agricultural competitiveness are mixed. On the one hand, wages held down by migrants keep labour-intensive commodities competitive in the short run, but the fact that most labour-intensive commodities are shipped long distances means that long-run US competitiveness may be eroded as US farmers have fewer incentives to develop labour-saving and productivity-improving methods of farming and production in lower-wage countries expands.

The Ombudsman as an external oversight body for official performance, in Fikih Siyasah (constitutionality in Islam) is included in the supervision stipulated in legislation (al-musahabah al-qomariyah). Supervision is done so that public service delivery to the community is in accordance with the rights of the community. This is done because in carrying out its duties, officials are very likely to conduct mal administration, which is bad public services that cause harm to the community. The Ombudsman is an institution authorized to resolve the mal administration issue, in which one of its products is by issuing a recommendation. Although Law No. 37 of 2018 on the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia states that the recommendation is mandatory, theombudsman's recommendations have not been implemented. This is due to differences in point of view, ie on the one hand in the context of law enforcement, but on the other hand the implementation of the recommendation is considered as a means of opening the disgrace of officials. Recommendations are the last alternative of Ombudsman's efforts to resolve the mal administration case, given that a win-win solution is the goal, then mediation becomes the main effort. This is in accordance with the condition of the Muslim majority of Indonesian nation and prioritizes deliberation in resolving dispute. Therefore, it is necessary to educate the community and officials related to the implementation of the Ombudsman's recommendations in order to provide good public services for the community, which is the obligation of the government.
