An Arbitral Tribunal’s Dilemma: The Plea of Financially Impecunious Parties
Authors: Teng Jun Gerome Goh
Published: March 2022

An arbitral tribunal faces a unique dilemma when a party to an arbitration agreement asserts that it is financially impecunious. While the principle of pacta sunt servanda justifies binding parties to arbitrate regardless of their financial situation, this is challenged by practical access to justice concerns resulting from impecuniosity. A party’s impecuniosity may result in serious consequences such as the inability to vindicate its rights or effectively present its defence in the arbitration. It is questionable whether an arbitration agreement can still be fairly performed in those situations. While there have been conflicting national jurisprudence regarding the impact of impecuniosity on the validity of an arbitration agreement, there is a lacuna in arbitral jurisprudence on this point. This article seeks to fill that lacuna by suggesting a principled approach that arbitral tribunals and institutions should follow in the face of such pleas. While impecuniosity should not render an arbitration agreement automatically ‘incapable of being performed’, an exception should be recognized when the impecuniosity results in a breach of the rules of natural justice. However, the party asserting impecuniosity must prove its impecuniosity on a high threshold and show that it has alternative recourse to national courts.

The Abuse of Process Doctrine Extended: A Tool for Right Thinking People in International Arbitration
Authors: Branson John David
Published: March 2022

The abuse of process doctrine is a recognized principle of public international law that prohibits the exercise of a procedural right in contravention of the purpose for which that right was established. This doctrine has been applied in context of investment arbitration where investors manipulate their corporate structure to gain access to jurisdiction after a dispute has become foreseeable. However, while abuse of process has become synonymous with corporate restructuring in investment arbitration, the doctrine is by no means limited to that application. Indeed, more recently, the doctrine has gained momentum as a mechanism to address the problem of multiple and successive arbitrations filed by investors against Sovereigns. This trend culminated in the Orascom v. Algeria decision, recently affirmed by an ad hoc Committee on annulment, that dismissed an investor’s claim ‘in relation to the same investment, the same measures and the same harm’. The application of abuse of process in this context, however, remains unsettled. After review, this article concludes that when an investor initiates multiple arbitrations for the sole purpose of maximizing the chances of success, investment tribunals should consider abuse of process as a means to protect the legitimacy of their proceeding and the Investor-State Dispute Settlement system as a whole.

Published: March 2022

As international lawyers, arbitration practitioners are at the forefront of global issues, yet in relation to climate change and its impact on our practices, we have been slow to act. This article considers the role that arbitration should play in determining climate change disputes and the role that arbitration practitioners could play in shaping and adapting international law to respond to the climate crisis. The pandemic has driven significant behavioural change in the arbitration community. Now is the time to reflect on our practices to ensure that arbitration remains relevant and fit for purpose in a world where climate change will impact every area of our lives.

Limits to Party Autonomy in Appointing Counsel in International Commercial Arbitration
Authors: Batsura Mikhail
Published: March 2022

The right of a party to appoint its own counsel is an integral aspect of party autonomy and one of the fundamental rights enjoyed by the parties in international arbitration. However, party autonomy is not absolute and has its limitations. This article discusses whether the parties are free to appoint their legal counsel or face any applicable restrictions when making such appointment. The article invites a discussion on an existence of the immutability principle in international commercial arbitration and its tension with party autonomy in the selection of legal counsel (if any). Finally, the article proposes possible solutions for regulation of a party’s right to appoint a counsel of choice.

Private International Law Aspects of Arbitrator Liability: A European Perspective Post-Brexit
Authors: van Zelst Bas , Besouw D.L. Van
Published: March 2022

This article investigates how various private international law (PIL) instruments relevant in the European context, post-Brexit, deal with questions of jurisdiction, applicable substantive law, and recognition and enforcement pertaining to the contractual liability of arbitrators. Based on an analysis of applicable European Union (EU) case law and the drafting history of, amongst others, the Brussels I (Recast) Regulation and its predecessors, it submits that that the exclusions included in such Regulation with regard to arbitration proceedings do not apply to the Arbitration Contract between the Parties and the Arbitrator or Arbitrators. Second, we submit that the law applicable to a claim for breach of contract by an Arbitrator must be found through the application of Rome I. Rome I provides that the law of the country where the Arbitrator that is alleged to be liable vis-à-vis (one of) the Parties has his or her habitual residence. With respect to enforceability of court judgments pertaining to arbitrator liability, we discuss and assess the Pandora’s Box that Brexit appears to have opened. This assessment leads us to conclude that, whilst the framework put in place by Brussels I (Recast) and the Lugano Convention remains largely in place, on the departure of the United Kingdom from the existing legal frameworks, enforcement and recognition of court judgments between the United Kingdom and the EU will, in the absence of a jurisdiction clause, largely shift to provisions of national law and/or bilateral treaties.

Efficient Arb-Med-Arb Proceedings: Should the Arbitrator also be the Mediator?
Authors: Ruckteschler Dorothee , Wendelstein Anika
Published: March 2022

The demand for hybrid proceedings combining elements of arbitration proceedings and mediation is growing continuously. The reason for this is the parties’ desire to make dispute resolution more efficient. A special type of hybrid proceedings are ‘arb-med-arb’ proceedings. These proceedings involve first initiating traditional arbitration proceedings. Before the taking of evidence begins, an attempt is then made to settle the dispute outside the arbitration proceedings in a separate mediation procedure. If the mediation fails, the arbitration proceedings are recommenced, and an arbitral award is issued. In the majority of arb-med-arb proceedings, a third party not involved in the arbitration proceedings is appointed as mediator. However, sometimes the parties ask the sole arbitrator or a member of the arbitral tribunal to act as mediator. This identity of the mediator and the (former and later) arbitrator raises many difficult questions, in particular, when the mediation fails. This article first analyses the pertinent most important regulations worldwide in arbitration and mediation laws, institutional arbitration, and mediation rules, and in soft law. Based on the results of this analysis, the authors develop some practical recommendations for the stakeholders in arb-med-arb proceedings.

Published: March 2022

Objective: While surgical treatment is the most accepted treatment method for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children,
there is little data about immobilization method after surgery. The aim of the study is to determine whether there is any difference in
preventing loss of reduction between long-arm cast and long-arm splint following pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture surgery.
Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pediatric patients with supracondylar humerus fractures treated
operatively between 2012 and 2019 at a university hospital. According to Skaggs criteria, early postoperative and 3rd-week follow-up
X-rays were evaluated for the loss of reduction (LOR). Postoperative immobilization method; splint or cast was compared in the
context of LOR.
Results: Cast immobilization was found to be superior in preventing LOR in the first three weeks postoperatively (p˂0.05). There was
no significant difference for other factors like fracture configuration, patient age and surgical technique.
Conclusion: Cast immobilization is superior to splint immobilization in preventing radiologic LOR after pediatric supracondylar
humerus fracture surgery however, clinical relevance of this conclusion is yet to be proved.
Keywords: Supracondylar humerus fracture, Postoperative immobilization, Loss of reduction
Solutions to improve the quality of mass concrete construction in the Southern Vietnam climate
Authors: Do Thi My Dung , Lam Thanh Quang Khai
Published: March 2022

Concrete, a mixture of sand, stone, cement, water and other substances (if any), is the most widely used material in construction work.The cement can create a reaction with water to become the concrete, generating the heat that transforms the cement into stone andconcrete. This phenomenon is called heat from hydration. Related units such as investor, design consultant, supervisory consultant,construction unit rarely pay attention to the hydration heat phenomenon when constructing the foundation structure of high-risebuildings due to the Vietnamese standard of TCVN 9341:2012 “Mass concrete-construction and acceptance” conventionalizes theneed to pay attention to the hydratio phenomenon. With 2 distinct rainy and sunny seasons, Southern Vietnam is a region with atropical monsoon climate. The southwestern monsoon affects the rainy season, so the rate of rainfall is very high. Thermal radiation isalso higher in the dry season relative to other areas. These hot and humid climates have a significant impact on the quality of concreteand reinforced concrete, especially in the hardening and forming process of the original concrete structure. During the early hardening time, the sunny weather, hot and dry air makes the concrete dehydrate easily, producing a hollow structure that decreases the waterproofing strength and capacity or allows the concrete surface to crack. This ability is also enhanced by high solar radiation and strong winds. The article therefore proposes "Solutions to improve the quality of mass concrete construction in the Southern Vietnam climate".

Published: March 2022

Groundwater is among the Nation’s most important natural resources. It provides drinking water to urban and rural communities, supports irrigation and industry, sustains the flow of streams and rivers, and maintains riparian and wetland ecosystems. In many areas of the Nation, the future sustainability of groundwater resources is at risk from overuse and contamination. Groundwater extraction not only regulates the shape of the ground surface and but also has a significant influence on human life. However, the occurrence of estimating the settlement of ground surface is still not well-studied. The objective of this study is to assess relation between groundwater pumping and land subsidence in Cai Rang district, Can Tho city. It is carried out by following steps: (1) Collecting geological prospecting data;(2) Conducting the method of ground water pumping test; (3) Processing the collected data; (4) Using Riley, Lohman and Poland methods in estimating the settlement of ground surface; (5) Using Finite element method to stimulate land subsidence. The result shows that the hydro-geological parameters, K is of 18.05 m/h; S is of 0.0083; T is of 299.608 m2/d. The cumulative land subsidence varies in the range of from 0 to 0.66 cm. Consequence of the land subsidence does not considerably affect construction work in the area. The analytical and interpretive methods described in this study will be useful to scientists involved in studies of ground-water hydraulics and aquifersystem deformation.

Published: March 2022

Sensitivity to gluten results in a wide spectrum of manifestations triggered by ingestion of the gluten-containing grains such as wheat, barley and rye. Celiac Disease, also known as gluten sensitivity enteropathy , is characterized by inflammation of the small –intestinal mucosa that results from a genetically based immunologic intolerance to ingested gluten. Rising demands for gluten free products parallels the increase in celiac disease. Humans have many options when it comes to fueling their bodies, but the benefits of some options are so nutritious that they are labeled as “Superfoods”. The new emerging super food quinoa (chenopodium quinoa) was the international food of the year 2013 and it is a staple food got originated in the Andean region of South America. It is a pseudo cereal rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family. It is a small seed which look like a cross between sesame seeds and millets. It has exceptionally high protein containing balanced set of essential amino acid such as methionine, cysteine and lysine as compared to wheat .Quinoa protein is free of gluten with a low Glycemic Index, and thus it is ideal for celiac patients. Quinoa contained good amount of total dietary fibre consisting of both insoluble fibre and soluble fibre, essential fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acid. The use of quinoa in diet can be considered beneficial in the prevention and treatment of risk factors related to celiac disease, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal problems and reducing lipid peroxidation. Quinoa can be cooked as a cereal such as porridge, add it to salads, dessert and can be used as flour for preparation of gluten free bread and bakery products. Thus, variety of products can be developed from Quinoa alone or in combination with other food material and therefore, Quinoa is considered to be an excellent novel source of natural health promoting food and can be used for prevention of many diseases.

Research on China’s Higher Education Delivery Offshore in the Post-Pandemic Era
Authors: Guo Feng
Published: March 2022

Offshore education, as an effective way to enhance the international flow of education service and an efficient platform for the higher education interconnection and knowledge sharing all around the world, is a significant part of the “opening-up” strategy of education made by China’s Ministry of Education. However, Chinese universities and colleges which plan to run school offshore are currently facing challenges such as the great changes of global governance, the spread of Covid-19 pandemic, the changes in domestic laws and policies and the greater participation of vocational colleges. This should be attached more importance by researchers and policy makers in order to find an innovative and appropriate mode of international cooperation and exchange in the post-pandemic era. Based on the analysis of definitions of higher education delivery offshore and the theoretical and practical causes of the challenges, Chinese universities should clarify the orientation and direction, attach importance to the development of vocational schools offshore, promote overseas schools to become offshore platform for innovation and international exchange, and enhance the international competitiveness of oversea schools by full advantages of government, universities, enterprises and industry organizations.

Pemberian ASI merupakan suatu yang sangat penting bagi awal kehidupan neonatus. Meskipun menyusui merupakan proses naluriah, namun dukungan dan sikap positif dibutuhkan untuk mencapai keberhasilan ASI ekslusif.  Data awal menunjukkan belum semua petugas kesehatan, khususnya perawat/bidan memberikan dukungan yang optimal terkait laktasi, hal ini juga dipengaruhi dengan sikap ibu terkait pemberian ASI kepada bayinya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan sikap ibu dan perilaku perawat dengan pemberian ASI eksklusif di ruang rawat gabung Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif korelatif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh perawat/bidan, ibu dan rekam medik neonatus di ruang pada ruang rawat gabung Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Banda Aceh. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah teknik total sampling. Alat pengumpulan data yaitu kuesioner The Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) menggunakan teknik wawancara terpimpin, kuesioner data neonatus serta lembar observasi perilaku perawat. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hampir seluruh neonatus mendapatkan ASI saja (96,7%) dan mayoritas ibu memiliki sikap positif (53,3%), namun perilaku perawat masih banyak yang kurang mendukung pemberian ASI (53,8%). Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan sikap ibu (p-value=1,000) dan perilaku perawat (p-value = 0,462) dengan pemberian ASI di ruang rawat gabung Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Banda Aceh. Diharapkan pada seluruh perawat/bidan untuk meningkatkan pemberian edukasi dan konseling manajemen laktasi kepada ibu, serta mengembangkan diri dalam mengikuti pelatihan terkait menyusui dan menambah jumlah konselor ASI tersertifikasi.

Published: March 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic is a threat for diabetic patients as they are prone to be worse once they got infected with the Sars-Cov-2 virus, especially in uncontrolled diabetes patients. Insulin is one of the modalities of diabetes treatment, especially in patients who have not reached the therapeutic target. Initiation of insulin is still often hampered due to lack of good education to patients. Providing face-to-face education during the Covid-19 pandemic poses a greater risk of virus transmission, therefore insulin initiation education needs to be carried out with effective communication methods. This study aims to implement interpersonal education in initiating insulin in type 2 diabetes patients using technology such as videos and educational booklets at the Hospital Dr. Zainoel Abidin, Banda Aceh. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a pre and post-test approach. The sample collection technique was total sampling, namely all diabetic patients who received insulin initiation in July - October 2021. There were 38 respondents divided into 17 respondents for the control group and 21 respondents for the intervention group. Questionnaire data was collected before and before the intervention. Knowledge data is presented descriptively, data and quality of life before and before intervention were analyzed by t-test. The results showed that the knowledge of the respondents before and before education was good, there was no difference in knowledge before and before the intervention, both in the oral group, and in the video group. After the intervention, the mean quality of life scores improved significantly in both the oral and media groups. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between face-to-face education (oral) and education using media (videos and booklets). The effect of education orally or through the media on the knowledge and quality of life of diabetic patients is the same.

The main purpose of hospital services is to provide quality, professional and acceptable services to the community. One of the efforts to achieve quality and professional health services in hospitals is to comply with the rules listed in the Hospital Code of Ethics.  Hospital Ethics and Legal Committee (HELC) can be an effective means of seeking mutual understanding between the various parties involved such as doctors, nurses, other health workers, patients, patients' families and the community regarding various ethical, legal, and medical issues in hospitals. The success of the health care system depends on health workers who are equipped with good knowledge, positive attitudes, and full awareness of the existence of HELC. So that research is needed that can be input for improving the performance of HELC in the future. The priority problem that will be resolved is the improvement of the HELC service system by gathering information from selected employees who are willing to become respondents. The type of this research is observational analytic with cross sectional approach. This study aims to obtain information about the level of knowledge, attitudes, awareness and expectations of the employees of Zainoel Abidin Hospital (ZAH) Banda Aceh on the existence of the HELC. This research was conducted for 4 months, starting from May to October 2021 at ZAH starting from the preparation of proposals to seminars on research results. This study involved all employees of ZAH who were selected proportionally for each profession and type of work with 280 participants. A total of 273 people (97.5%) have very good/good knowledge related to HELC. A very positive attitude towards HELC performance was shown by 245 respondents (87.5%). A total of 118 respondents have a high awareness of the existence of HELC (42.1%), while respondents' opinions about the importance of the existence of HELC obtained 263 respondents stated that it is very important/important (93.9%). From the results of the Chi square statistical test, it was found that there was a significant relationship between knowledge and the existence of HELC with p value = 0.000, attitude and existence of HELC with p value = 0.000, but there was no relationship between awareness and existence of HELC with p value = 0.352. The conclusion in this study was that the employees of ZAH had very good knowledge, a very positive attitude, but were not aware of the existence of the HELC of ZAH. The expectations expressed by the respondents concentrated to the socialization of HELC activities, improving performance, increasing active roles in hospital services and being able to work in accordance with standard operating procedures.

Infertility is a global health problem affecting 1 of 10 couples in the world and its related to dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia, as metabolic syndrome, had become global epidemic. It is estimated 12-37% Asian population and 12-26% of European population had dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia decreased sperm count by increasing free radical oxygen species (ROS) caused of lypotoxicity and lipid peroxidation. Antioxidant is treatment choice for this problem. Drum stick (Moringa oleifera L) is medical herb that contain antioxidant compound such as alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin, vitamin C, E, and steroid. So, Moringa oleifera L leaf could protect sperm cells from free radicals of dyslipidemia and become alternative treatment for infertility.

It was a post-test only control group design. Sample consist of 30 rats devided into 6 groups. It began with atherogenic diet to induce dyslipidemia. Then, Ethanol extract of Moringa oleifera L leaf was given. Sperm count was calculated microscopically with Neubauer chamber.  Data analysis was using one way analysis of variance (ANNOVA) test, then continued with post hoc Duncan test.

There were significant differences of total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density protein, low density protein, and sperm count between groups based on one way ANNOVA test (p < 0,05). On post hoc Duncan test, Dyslipidemia induction decreased sperm count compared to other groups. Ethanol extract of 200 mg/body weight and 400 mg/body weight leaf had no difference effect compared to atorvastatin. Ethanol extract of 800 mg/body weight leaf increased sperm count significantly compared to other groups.

Cultural heritage carries the historical values from the past, cultural heritage therefore, reflects the identity of societies. Thus, it is important to support people learn from these sites, which could be achieved by introducing new tools to assist in this aspect. Designing such tools could be challenging, as they need to enhance visitors’ engagement as well as enable them to explore sites smartly to well-invested their time with the rapid pace of life. This paper presents the development of recommendations for designing smart and ubiquitous learning environments for outdoor cultural heritage. A novel list of design recommendations is introduced as a result, which was shaped throughout a research project carried out to develop a theoretical framework for designing such services, FoSLE. A user-centred design approach was used in this research adopting the socio-cognitive engineering methodology. Three field studies were conducted to gather user requirements, which led to introduce the FoSLE framework. A set of general requirements was devised from the framework to guide the design of a proof-of-concept smart and ubiquitous learning environment, SmartC. SmartC was evaluated in the field by potential end-users in terms of usability, usefulness and acceptance; suitability for learning was also investigated. The results enabled us to draw the list of design recommendations presented in this paper. This list consists of three parts: content provision, learning experience design and interaction with context design.

Published: March 2022

Cytochrome P4502C8 represents 7% of the hepatic cytochrome system and metabolizes around 5% of drugs in phase I processes. It also plays a significant role in the metabolism of endogenous compounds. More than 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported, mainly in exon 3, 5, and 8. Some of the SNP’s lead to decreased enzyme activity and may have impact on drug metabolism. This research study aims to determine the frequencies of the most common SNPs of the CYP2C8 gene (CYP2C8*2, *3, *4) in the Pakistani population. A cross-sectional study consisting of 391 healthy humans was conducted after taking informed consent. DNA was extracted using commercial kits, and allelic and genotype frequencies were determined after PCR amplification, restriction fragment length polymorphism, and gel electrophoresis. The rate of minor allele was found to be 11.64% for CYP2C8*2, 14.71% for CYP2C8*3, and 1.53% for CYP2C8*4. Comparison with the 1000 Genome project reveals that the allelic frequencies of CYP2C8*4 in Pakistani population were similar to other South Asian populations while the frequencies of CYP2C8*2 and CYP2C8*3 as significantly different from other South Asian populations. A significant interethnic variation was also observed among Pakistani ethnicities. The CYP2C8*2 allele was highest in the Sindhi population, CYP2C8*3 in the Pashtoon population and CYP2C8*4 in the Balochi population. These data suggest that the frequency of poor metabolizers of CYP2C8 is high enough in the Pakistani population to warrant further genotype-phenotype correlations studies on individual drugs metabolized by CYP2C8 enzyme.

In the IR-T1 Tokamak the effect of a resonance helical magnetic field (RHF) on plasma confienment are presented using Hilbert-Huang Transform method.Mirnov coil data analyzed by Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) and decomposed to the main intrinsic mode functions(imfs) and their instantanous frequencies (IFs). We find that, HHT method can extract MHD activities with different amplitudes in the different times. Then, the IFs of these modes can be calculated by Hilbert Transform (HT). As a comparison of WT and HHT analysis the Hilbert spectrum has much better frequency definition. Amplitude modulation of Mironov oscillations in IR-T1 tokamak plasma generate intra-wave frequency modulation, In the Hilbert spectrum analysis this effect is small compared to the STFT and WT spectrums. In our study, Magnetic islands with frequency around 40 kHz can be seen in wavlet Transform(WT) and HHT results in ohmic and RHF discharges. The HHT results after application of l=2/n=1 resonant field show that, the amplitude of m=2 poloidal MHD mode are amplified and then suppressed for a few milliseconds after amplification. Similarly, the amplitude of the m=3 MHD mode are amplified and then strongly suppressed by the start of the l=3/n=1 resonant field.

Rapid plasma formation and evolution during microwave gas discharge device produce a macroscopic plasma shield to the microwave transmission, which can severely limit the performance of the device. In this paper, the electromagnetic (TE)- plasma interaction and the chlorine Discharge Global modeled in a standard rectangular waveguide WR 284 (72.14 mm× 32.04 mm) by COMSOL multiphysics provide to be a very good compromise between flexibility and work efficiency.
Desert-Adjusted Utilitarianism, People, and Animals
Authors: Vessel Jean-Paul ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: March 2022

Recent decades have witnessed a surge in philosophical attention to the moral standing of non-human animals. Kantians, Neo-Kantians, utilitarians, and radical animal rights theorists have staked their claims in the literature. Here Fred Feldman’s desert-adjusted utilitarianism is introduced into the fray. After canvassing the prominent competitors in the dialectic, a conception of an overall moral ranking (relative to a moral choice scenario) consonant with desert-adjusted utilitarianism is developed. Then the conception’s implications regarding the particular locations of individual people and animals in such rankings across various scenarios is explored. Ultimately, it is argued that when it comes to evaluating whether or not some benefit (or burden) morally ought to be bestowed upon some specific person or animal, this new conception of an overall moral ranking is sensitive to a wider range of morally relevant phenomena than its more prominent competitors.
Three applications of analysis-by-synthesis in music science
Authors: Sundberg Johan
Published: March 2022

The article describes how my research has applied the analysis-by-synthesis strategy to (1) the composition of melodies in the style of nursery tunes, (2) music performance and (3) vocal singing. The descriptions are formulated as generative grammars, which consist of a set of ordered, context-dependent rules capable of producing sound examples. These examples readily reveal observable weaknesses in the descriptions, the origins of which can be traced in the rule system and eliminated. The grammar describing the compositional style of the nursery tunes demonstrates the paramount relevance of a hierarchical structure. Principles underlying the transformation from a music score file to a synthesized performance are derived from recommendations by a violinist and music performance coach, and can thus be regarded as a description of his professional skills as musician and pedagogue. Also in this case the grammar demonstrates the relevance of a hierarchical structure in terms of grouping, and reflects the role of expectation in music listening. The rule system describing singing voice synthesis specifies acoustic characteristics of performance details. The descriptions are complemented by sound examples illustrating the effects of identified compositional and performance rules in the genres analysed.

So far, the confirmed host plants of the ragweed leaf beetle in Serbia belonged to the genus Ambrosia (Ambrosia artemisifolia, A. trifida). At one locality Tošin bunar (Bežanija, Belgrade, Serbia) the first case of Ophraella communa adults feeding on leaves of Xanthium strumarium and Helianthus decapetalus was recorded in Serbia. The number of specimens of O. communa on H. decapetalus was ranging between 1 and 18 specimens per plant, while on X. strumarium it was up to 10 adult specimens. While the plants of ragweed had up to 100% damaged leaves, the leaves of X. strumarium and H. decapetalus had leaf damage less than 10-15% per plant. Considering our findings of the insect feeding on spontaneous allochthonous plant species H. decapetalus, seasonal monitoring of O. communa is recommended especially in the fields where the sunflower (Helianthus annus) is widely cultivated. Monitoring of O. communa on the other plant species of Astereae, especially on allochthonous species originating from North America which share the same natural habitats with the ragweed leaf beetle is also recommended.
Proving mobbing behavior: Between criminal and labour law, legal theory and jurisprudence
Authors: Kvastek Aleksandar
Published: March 2022

In this paper is analyzed mobbing behavior as a new and complex phenomenon for domestic legislation and jurisprudence in the Republic of Serbia. Despite the fact that there is a great number of definitions of maltreatment at workplaces, all of them are based on making hostile, humiliating and degrading environment at work. Since the Serbian Act on Prevention of Harassment at Work is adopted in 2010, judicial protection for employees is provided not only in criminal procedure in line with the rules of Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure but also ih the civil trial. Proving mobbing behaviour in civil trial is different from criminal procedure regarding the turnover of the burden of proof, different kinds of admissible evidence and the rule of repetition of behavior which is considered to be mobbing. Altough the Act on Prevention of Harassment at Work is in force during ten years, we have not found precise criteria in the jurisprudence for remarking the hrassment at work and it is one of the reasons why appellate courts intervene in the decisions of higher courts regarding the mobbing behavior.
Employer brand communication in job advertisements

Published: March 2022

The concept of the employer brand has been developing intensively and it is the subject of interest and research of scholars and practitioners in the field of both marketing and human resource management. The aim of the research presented in the paper is to examine the content of job advertisements of the most desirable employers in Serbia, as well as to examine the extent to which they communicate the elements that potential candidates value when assessing the attractiveness of employers. By employing content analysis, the content of job advertisements of Serbian most attractive employers is determined and classified. In total, 291 job advertisements of 18 most desirable employers published on the Infostud platform in the period March-June 2021 were analyzed. In the exploratory research, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of published job advertisements was performed. The results of the research indicate that the content of job advertisements of the most desirable employers in Serbia most often communicates about the work environment and opportunities for acquiring knowledge. In addition, instrumental aspects of the workplace, ie information related to earnings, bonuses and rewards, are communicated more often for lower positions. Although not all elements describing the desired employer were part of the content of the advertisements, it was determined that the most desirable employers in the advertisements pay attention to visual solutions, topics shown in photos, engaging employees in communicating the employer's brand, and communication of product brands.
