UNS – Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta added two professors in the Faculty of Math and Science (FMIPA) and Faculty of Law (FH). The two professors are Prof. Dr. Eng. Budi Purnama, S.Si., M.Si.; the 16th professor in FMIPA and 211th professor in UNS, and Prof.Dr. Pujiyono, S.H., M.H.; the 7th professor in FH and 212th professor in UNS. The inauguration for both professors will be held in GPH Haryo Mataram Auditorium, Thursday (16/1/2020).
In the inauguration, Prof. Dr. Eng. Budi Purnama, S.Si. who is the Professor of Magnetic Materials Science in FMIPA UNS will deliver a speech entitled Magneto Sociology: Treatise on the Interaction of Magnetic Materials.
Prof. Budi stated that research on the magnetism of materials and magnetic materials has a long history, even as old as science itself. This is because, in Ancient Greek, a discussion on magnetism has been conducted by philosophers such as Thales in 625-545 BC. In ancient India, Sashruta Samhita has used magnetite in medical treatment. Meanwhile, the study on magnetic materials for “compass” started on 1st century AD and the application of magnetic materials for compass in the navigation system was reported in China in the 11th century AD. In Europe, the use of the compass for navigation was known in 12th century AD.
In modern life, we cannot avoid the presence of ‘magnetic materials’ or ‘magnetic material-based electronic devices’. “Magnet/magnetic materials in the conventional perception as the permanent magnet can be found in pencil case, pin holder, magnetic chess pieces, and other goods. Magnetic materials as storage media (recording medium) are in the forms of a vinyl record, tape recording (including ATM, credit card), CD, and DVD. Magnetic materials as the main component of electronic devices can be found in microphone, speaker, electric generator, electric motor, system relay (remote), electric transformer, hard disk drive HDD, and magnetic memory (MRAM),” explained Prof. Budi.
On the other side, Prof.Dr.Pujiyono, S.H., M.H. who is a Professor on Legal Studies in FH UNS will deliver an inauguration speech entitled Encouraging Out-of-Court Mediation as the Main Stream Model in Business Dispute Resolution.
Prof. Pujiyono stated that the business relationship between the subject of civil law does not always go smoothly. Different interests might cause conflict. To avoid this, the related parties will find a way to develop a code of conduct by agreeing on provisions that must be obeyed. The legal procedure provides a canal for the resolution of disputes among the parties. There are two models of dispute resolution; through the courts or litigation and outside the courts or non-litigation. One of the popular models in the non-litigation method is mediation.
“Mediation resulted in a win-win solution deal, it guarantees the confidentiality of the parties’ dispute (confidential), avoids delays caused by procedural and administrative matters (efficient), solve problems comprehensively in togetherness, while maintaining good relations (fairer),” stated Prof. Pujiyono.
The advantages of mediation as a business resolution do not necessarily make it a popular dispute resolution model among business people. The main obstacle is that the agreement agreed upon by the parties has not yet pushed mediation to be at the forefront of dispute resolution. Even mediation does not seem to be considered as a model of mainstream resolution. Conventionally the choice of court is the choice of litigation; the model chosen by the parties in resolving disputes. Humas UNS
