Nowaday rapid development of communication and information technology also influences the sector of education. The main activity in the education process is learning. Learning is a process of interaction between students and their environment, leading to better behavior changes [1]. One of the learning subjects that students must learn is science. But Indonesian student’s scientific literacy is still low [2]. Students still consider science subjects difficult and boring [3]. One learning material that is classified difficult is the human digestive system [4]. Therefore a solution is needed to make interesting learning one of them by using learning media. Learning media that can be used for the solution is game based on motion sensors. By using games, students will be happy to accept the learning process. Based on a survey conducted on 30 respondents of junior high school students in the Semarang, it turns out that the game used as a human digestive system learning media is able to provide positive results. Through this game students can understand the digestive system material and more enthusiastic in learning. Keywords— Game, Human Digestive System, Learning Media, Motion Sensor

The agglomeration of rules and regulations over time has produced a body of legal code that no single individual can fully comprehend. This complexity produces inefficiencies, makes the processes of understanding and changing the law difficult, and frustrates the fundamental principle that the law should provide fair notice to the governed. In this article, we take a quantitative, unbiased, and software-engineering approach to analyze the evolution of the United States Code from 1926 to today. Software engineers frequently face the challenge of understanding and managing large, structured collections of instructions, directives, and conditional statements, and we adapt and apply their techniques to the U.S. Code over time. Our work produces insights into the structure of the U.S. Code as a whole, its strengths and vulnerabilities, and new ways of thinking about individual laws. For example, we identify the first appearance and spread of important terms in the U.S. Code like "whistleblower" and "privacy." We also analyze and visualize the network structure of certain substantial reforms, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and show how the interconnections of references can increase complexity and create the potential for unintended consequences. Our work is a timely illustration of computational approaches to law as the legal profession embraces technology for scholarship, to increase efficiency, and to improve access to justice.

The fourteenth amendment affords procedural due process, equal protection, and substantive bill of rights protections. It applies to state actors, not private ones. The NCAA is an association of colleges and universities that regulates intercollegiate athletics. It is a private actor. On occasion the Supreme Court has treated private actors as state actors for purposes of the fourteenth amendment. The NCAA is not one of them. There is ongoing discussion whether the NCAA should be treated as a state actor. One side focuses on the NCAA’s monopoly power as "the only game in town" and its impact on non-members, particularly student-athletes, who have no say in its policies. The other side worries that state actor status would bring protracted and often frivolous lawsuits and thwart its ability to provide an even playing field because student-athletes whose eligibility is at issue could compete during pendency of litigation. The conventional wisdom, shared by both sides, is that NCAA state actor status necessarily would trigger greater judicial and legislative oversight of NCAA processes; substantially more opportunities for non-members to prevail against alleged NCAA over-reaching; and fundamental, perhaps widespread, change to the way the NCAA operates. In my article I discuss why the conventional wisdom likely is wrong, and conclude that the only clear consequence to the NCAA’s regulatory authority over intercollegiate athletics attendant on NCAA state actor status would be to end or at least cabin NCAA bylaws and policies that accord preferential treatment to women and racial and ethnic minorities. In all other ways the NCAA might well be able to proceed as usual.

In this article, I analyze the implications of the Supreme Court's 2008 decision in Stoneridge Investment Partners v. Scientific-Atlanta. The case arose as a result of a scheme to increase reported advertising earnings of a struggling cable television company involving two suppliers who agreed to sell set-top boxes to the cable company at inflated prices and then to use the excess to buy advertising from the cable company. While it seems clear that the cable company was guilty of securities fraud under SEC Rule 10b-5, the issue in Stoneridge was whether the suppliers could be held liable for damages in a private action as participants in the fraud. The Court ruled that because the plaintiffs did not rely on any statement made by the suppliers, the case should be dismissed. Although the circuit courts were split on the question, it would have been easy for the Supreme Court to rule that the allegations amounted to a claim of aiding and abetting and were prohibited by precedent as codified by Congress. The question is why did the Court go out of its way to base its holding on lack of reliance? The ruling is all the more curious because it also required the Court to explain that conduct may nonetheless be deceiving. As I argue in this piece, in light of other recent decisions, the answer appears to be that the Court is particularly interested in causation as it relates to securities fraud. This suggests that the Court may be receptive to arguments that securities fraud under Rule 10b-5 is a zero-sum game and that for diversified investors - the vast majority of investors - the costs of securities litigation are a deadweight loss that reduces portfolio returns because the company pays. Thus, diversified investors would prefer a rule that prohibits securities fraud class actions except in cases in which officers or agents of the corporation have appropriated or reduced stockholder wealth. And in such cases they would prefer that the action be prosecuted as a derivative action - or an action by the corporation - to recover from the wrongdoers for the benefit of the corporation. In short, because securities fraud causes no net harm to most investors, Stoneridge may signal that the Supreme Court is inclined to reconsider whether there exists a private cause of action under Rule 10b-5 by disgruntled investors against non-trading issuers.

This note examines the Supreme Court's Dura decision, and concludes that the Court's narrow holding (that pleading loss causation cannot be accomplished via a showing that the price of a security at the time of purchase was artificially inflated) was somewhat obvious. The note then proposes an alternative framework through which courts might examine loss causation fact patterns that is consistent with past precedent but firmer and more predictable than the Court's current stance.

Free market capitalism is understood by most Americans as instrumental to the American dream, providing ordinary people with the economic means for their pursuit of happiness. The benefits of free enterprise, however, accrue increasingly to a small fraction of already wealthy high income earners, corporate shareholders, and business interests with a long, consistent, and well documented history of antagonism towards the interests of consumers, workers, society, and the natural environment. Emerging models of geopolitics, the economy, and the corporation suggest that this elitist, anti-regulatory posture of business is fast becoming obsolete as the value of human capital gains currency in the knowledge-driven, creative economy of the market state. The emergence of the market state can be viewed as a movement of economic democracy in which people expect accountability from business and free enterprise as a platform of opportunity for achieving their goals and realizing their dreams. This paper examines the future of enterprise regulation from the moral perspective of social accountability, arguing that the era of global market states constitutes a new social charter in which business performs as a platform of freedom and opportunity for all. In this arrangement, legal and regulatory mechanisms structure business to reintegrate economic and social goals and capitalize human freedom. The measure of global business and market effectiveness is not just capital generation, but human flourishing. Imaginative business leaders will see this new era of capitalism as an opportunity for collaborative value-creating partnerships among diverse stakeholders in realizing the dream of human flourishing for America and the world.
