Developing computational thinking competencies and natural selection understanding thorough unplugged algorithmic explanations
Authors:   , Peel Amanda N.
Published: February 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Technology and computing have permeated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, resulting in a need for a computationally literate STEM work force. One pathway for building computational literacy is to integrate computational thinking (CT) into core science classes. CT is the logical thought process underlying computer science that can be leveraged across science disciplines and everyday life. Most CT integrations use programming and computers, making CT difficult to implement because it requires class computers and knowledge about programming. Since CT has applications much broader than programming, there is a missed opportunity for other learning when programming is the sole context of CT learning. As such, this dissertation investigates an unplugged, or computer and programming-free, approach to integrating science content with CT. In this dissertation, students use CT to create hand-written explanations of natural selection to simultaneously learn science content and develop CT competencies. Empirical findings are presented and discussed.

Published: February 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The establishment of robust sensor network applications requires accurate and non complex positioning techniques using a full or partial set of observations. In a practical environment, often not all the range measurements are good and some may be outliers. The presence of outliers can significantly reduce the performance of a localization algorithm. Detection and removal of the outliers are crucial to improve the positioning accuracy. On the other hand, joint source and sensor localization are essential in a wide range of problems involving array signal processing. The simultaneous source and sensor localization problems have received notable attention of researchers and are still open and challenging problems.

Authors:   , Alsammarraie Fouad
Published: February 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nowadays, food safety has received more awareness because of increasing foodborne illness outbreaks around the world that involved biological and chemical substances. Therefore, there are growing interests in using the emerging novel nanomaterials to solve food safety issues. However, the wide use of nanomaterials in the manufacturing of different products, especially in the food industry, raises more concerns about their toxicity and harmful effects on human health since flammable and hazardous substances are used in the synthesis process of these materials. This dissertation aimed to use nanomaterials (silver or gold nanoparticles, nanorods) as novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates to detect chemical contaminants in various matrices of food samples, and use green chemistry methods to establish an environmentally-friendly procedure for the synthesis of green nanoparticles. Specific objectives of this study were to: (i) develop a facile and reproducible procedure to prepare standing gold nanorod arrays. The gold nanorod arrays can be coupled with the SERS technique to detect pesticides in fruit juice and milk samples; (ii) use plant extract to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and investigate their antibacterial activity against foodborne bacteria in broth and chicken meat; and (iii) evaluate the toxicity of green synthesized AgNPs on human colon cancerous epithelial (Caco-2) cells and human intestinal bacteria.

Authors: Afef Sahli
Published: February 2024

Digital marketing is a new form of marketing that uses several digital media to spread a message. Influencer marketing is a promising acquisition channel for companies to explore. Engaging with influencers can help a company improve its brand image and stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. However, these opinion leaders can influence the purchasing behavior of the target audience. These are individuals with skills in a particular field, using them to create quality content, they are recognized as experts in their field. The content they publish is often in the form of a personalized story incorporating their opinion on a situation, a product or a service. Success lies in establishing a genuine, preferably long-term, relationship between the brand and its influencers. The objective is to rigorously analyze the links and elements that give meaning to this “Influencer marketing authenticity” interaction. As part of this research, we presented a detailed literature review of authenticity and influence marketing.

In the era of rapid development of information technology, stand-up is becoming increasingly popular as one of the forms of the conversational genre, as a comedy art, a show with a spectator in which, often, one performer performs in front of a live audience. Stand-up is based on stories told by storytellers who communicate directly with the viewer. These can be fictional situations, cases that happened to the author or his friends and relatives, it can be a commentary on events taking place in the country and the world – that is, any story interesting to the speaker and listeners. The study is due to the relevance of the phenomenon itself in the aspect of intercultural interaction and the development in our country of the practice of stand-up, which has unexpectedly become popular in modern society, to a greater extent, in the sphere of youth audience who seek to avoid conservatism, over organization, edification, standard phrases in the process of communication. At the same time, Kazakh scientists have not sufficiently studied the topic of using stand-up. We devoted our work to the analysis of a new format in mass communication – stand-up comedy, which is gaining popularity among young people in response to changes in public life. The analysis of the formation of stand-up comedy in the Republic of Kazakhstan is presented.

Murguía e “a demostración histórica” de Galicia
Authors:   Real Academia Galega, Villarez Paz Ramón
Published: February 2024

Con ocasión do primeiro centenario do nacemento de Murguía en 1933, a revista NOS adicoulle unhas páxinas especiais e o seu director, Vicente Risco, escribiu un longo ensaio interpretativo sobre a figura do patriarca, logo publicado na revista Arquivos do Seminario de Estudos Galegos. En ambos casos, sublíñase como achegas decisivas de Murguía a “demostración étnica” e a “demostración histórica”. Deste último trazo é do que me quero ocupar nesta sesión, pois da primeira xa o fixo o profesor Ramón Máiz ao analizar o paradigma do celtismo como núcleo esencial do seu pensamento. E tampouco me ocuparei do liderado político do rexionalismo galego, que fará Justo Beramendi. A miña intervención céntrase, pois, na formación de Murguía como historiador e na avaliación da sua obra historiográfica como expresión desa “demostración histórica” de Galicia, da que falaba Risco.

Published: February 2024

O proceso material da produción intelectual de Manuel Murguía crúzase de múltiples maneiras co da obra de Rosalía de Castro. O obxectivo deste artigo é mostrar como o traballo de ambos establece tamén redes de dependencia en relación coas comunidades de emigrantes galegos en América, especialmente en Cuba e Arxentina. Trátase de mostrar os camiños de interdependencia que cruzan o Atlántico e configuran, non só o mundo colonial, senón tamén a produción cultural e a acción política e institucional de Galicia. No caso concreto de Manuel Murguía e Rosalía de Castro esas relacións aparecen como decisivas tanto no proceso de produción coma de recepción e canonización da súa obra.

Authors: Valizadeh Parya , Jannatdoust Payam , Shahsavarhaghighi Shirin , Rouzbahani Maedeh , Golezar Mohammad Hossein , Sadighi Nahid
Published: February 2024

Background: Breast intraductal lesions present a diagnostic challenge due to the diverse spectrum of histologic changes. Vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) has evolved as a pivotal diagnostic and therapeutic modality. Yet, concerns about the underestimation of malignancy using VAB persist. This review examines the underestimation rates of Ultrasound-guided VAB (US-VAB) for intraductal lesions and evaluates the effectiveness of VAB in addressing pathological nipple discharge (PND).
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was performed across Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science. Studies detailing the underestimation rates of intraductal breast lesions diagnosed by US-VAB and cure rates for PND post-VAB excision were selected. Statistical analysis comprised a random effects proportion meta-analysis.
Results: In this research, 31 studies were deemed eligible: 26 for underestimation and 5 for PND cure rates post-US-VAB. Quantitative synthesis focused on studies reporting data on atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) due to limited availability for other pathologies. The pooled underestimation rate for ADH was 6.14% (95% CI: 1.59%-12.43%). The pooled underestimation rate for DCIS was 13.26% (95% CI: 6.69%-21.08%). PND's pooled cure rate post-US-VAB was 93.32% (95% CI: 82.34%-99.70%).
Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis show that US-VAB delivers low ADH underestimation rates, moderate DCIS underestimation rates, and acceptable PND cure rates in breast intraductal lesions.

Published: February 2024

Background: This retrospective cohort study explores the long-term effects of different endocrine therapy regimens on mortality, local recurrence, and metastasis in breast cancer patients.
Methods: Data from the Referral Cancer Research Center of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences were analyzed. Records of 2,262 histologically confirmed  breast cancer patients, with 25 years of follow-up were included. We collected patient data, including treatment modalities, and details of the endocrine therapy, and conducted statistical analysis to assess treatment-outcome associations.
Results: Patients had an average age of 49.45 years, and 99.1% were female. The average tumor size was 2.8 cm, with a 12.3% mortality rate. Positive expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, progesterone receptor, and estrogen receptor was found in 17.3%, 71.8%, and 70.6% of patients, respectively. Tamoxifen was administered  to 1,700 patients, letrozole to 715, and exemestane to 540, with an average endocrine therapy duration of 5.2 years. Letrozole treatment duration (P = 0.001) and lymph node involvement (P = 0.028) were independent predictive variables for local recurrence, with longer letrozole therapy associated with lower recurrence.
Conclusion: Estrogen receptor expression and endocrine therapy duration are independent predictive markers for recurrence and mortality. Longer letrozole therapy predicts lower local recurrence. Endocrine therapy duration inversely relates to mortality, recurrence, and local recurrence.
Risk Factors of Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Luminal (HER2 Negative) Breast Cancer: Roc Curve and Logistic Regression Model Results
Authors: Bozdogan Atilla , Emiroglu Selman , Abuaisha Asmaa , Basar Ozlem Deniz
Published: February 2024

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is less effective for luminal human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer (BC) patients and generally shows a low pathological complete response (pCR) after NAC compared to HER2 positive and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study aimed to determine the factors associated with histopathologic response following NAC in luminal (HER2 negative) BC.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 255 estrogen (ER) positive and HER2 negative BC patients after NAC between January 2018 and July 2023. Demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of the patients were collected for the statistical analysis. Chi-Square tests were used in the qualitative comparisons between study groups. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was used for the diagnostic performance of Ki-67 expression and ER in determining the pCR rates. Using the Youden index, optimum cut points were determined. Also, multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the independent variables associated with the dependent variable (pCR).
Results: After NAC, pCR was achieved in the breast in 35 (14%) patients, in the axilla in 44 (17%) patients, and in both the breast and axilla in 18 (7%) patients. Ki-67 expression was the only common variable associated with the breast, axilla and both the breast and axilla pCR. The most appropriate Ki-67 expression cut-off value for determining the breast and axilla complete response was found to be 40%. ER positivity level was only associated with pCR in the breast and the cut-off value was found to be 85%.
Conclusion: The results of this study raise the possibility of patients with luminal (HER2 negative) BC with Ki-67 expression higher than 40% benefiting from chemotherapy, as they showed increased pCR rates.
THE ECONOMIC COMPONENT OF WARS, TERRORISM, COLONIALISM
Authors:   National Aviation University, Hrushchynska Nataliia
Published: February 2024

The article analyzes the economic components of war, terrorism and colonialism, taking into account the historical experience of these categories and modern processes taking place in the world and in Ukraine in particular. The author diagnoses the causes and prerequisites of war, terrorist acts and colonialism using examples from different historical periods, including the Ukrainian one, and identifies their similarities and differences; points out that although the phenomenon of colonization in the 21st century sounds inappropriate, its signs are there; notes that the phenomenon of colonization in the 21st century is not new, but it is a phenomenon that has been going on for centuries. In today's realities, we are talking about the invasive and destructive nature of the capture of territories and populations, and it is difficult to see any benefit or positive consequences for the development of civilization from such actions. It has already been proven that the economic losses for all parties are significant. The era of colonization in civilized societies is over, and the former metropolises are trying to legitimize themselves and support those countries that were victims of their predecessors. On the other hand, there are still a number of countries that have not given up their colonial views: until 2022, terrorism was mostly related to religion, but now terrorism uses the manipulation of religion, economy and values to destroy. The negative consequences of forced irreversible migration, such as a slowdown in economic growth, a deterioration in the country's investment attractiveness, a decrease in the welfare of the population, a decrease in business activity, tension in the labor market, an increase in the burden on the state budget and macroeconomic stability, affect the country's gene pool. War and terrorism undermine and limit the values underlying human rights, undermine the legal systems that are designed to protect human rights, and on the other hand, form strength, resilience, new views and values. Colonization in the 21st century sounds inappropriate, but its signs are there. In today's realities, we are talking about the invasive and destructive nature of capturing territories and populations, and it is difficult to see any benefit or positive result for the development of civilization from such actions. The economic losses for all parties are significant. Having drawn parallels between the manifestations of the phenomena of «terrorism», «war», «colonization», it should be noted that their causes and prerequisites may be similar in many respects, the tools of implementation may be different, the consequences may also be different, and the goal and purpose may differ depending on the time frame.

Published: February 2024

Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the article examines the theoretical foundations of the motivation of workers. The terminology of motivation is clarified. The classification of motivation factors according to the directions of influence on direct and indirect was determined. The structure of the factors of direct influence and their division into material and non-material incentives has been established. A study of the current motivational model at the private enterprise "Husiatyn furniture factory "Elegant", built on the basis of employees' work experience, was conducted. and the implementation of an improved motivational system is proposed. In addition to seniority, it is proposed to include two more components in the employee motivation system – bonuses for the effective use of the working time fund (taking into account the time norms for the production of a unit of furniture products) and for the accuracy of the production of a model range of products. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed motivational system was carried out, salary calculations were carried out for two groups of employees with different years of work under the existing and proposed motivational systems. The methods of non-financial motivation of the staff of the investigated furniture factory were considered and proposed, in particular: holding motivational meetings, providing opportunities for professional growth, improving the comfort of working conditions, congratulating on significant dates, conducting events to increase and support team spirit, implementing a flexible work schedule for certain categories of employees, providing discounts on factory products. Separate measures have been proposed to improve the effectiveness of non-financial employee incentives, in particular, to waive fines in favor of introducing flexible work schedules and to offer measures to improve the qualifications of production workers. Considered a proposal for an additional day off for the best production workers. It has been proven that the majority of managers are convinced of the effectiveness of only monetary rewards, but experienced HR managers are convinced that the greatest return can be obtained only if there is a successful combination of material and non-material motivation. It is justified that it is appropriate for management personnel to create such conditions at workplaces for their subordinates so that they do not have to resort to fines.

Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Shevchenko Olga
Published: February 2024

The article reveals the nature of social inequality in the city, the interrelation of its types (vital, existential, environmental) and their impact on the formation of social space. The relevance of the study is based on the assertion that approaches to modelling urban spatial development should reflect the dynamics of the city's social space and suggest ways to protect the city's social space from negative transformations. The research gap is to reveal the interdependence of the dynamics of social inequality in cities and to take it into account as a factor in modelling urban spatial development, especially in the current situation of rapid changes in social capital. The aim of the study is to develop tools for taking into account the factor of social inequality in revealing the structure of the city's social space and approaches to modelling urban spatial development. The aim is based on solution of the following tasks: to identify the factors of influence of social inequality on city social space, to develop a methodology for taking into account social inequality in the modelling of urban spatial development, to outline the directions of public policy on regulation of city social space and management of social inequality in cities. The article shows the dangers of increasing social exclusion in cities, especially in modern Ukraine. The peculiarities of the mutual influence of the social and physical space of the city and social inequality are revealed. It is proved that the development of measures to manage social inequality in cities should be based on the identification of its statistical characteristics, their dynamics and their transformation into modelling parameters. A toolkit for taking into account the factor of social inequality in modelling the spatial development of a city is created. Measures for strategic planning of urban development are proposed, taking into account the impact of social inequality on the social and physical space of the city. The developed directions of urban development will be incorporated into the regulatory documents of urban planning in order to ensure a balanced management of the social space of the city and regulation of social inequality.

Authors:   University of Customs and Finance, Bondarevska Kseniia
Published: February 2024

The article describes current trends in the development of entrepreneurship among war veterans, identifies opportunities and prospects for veteran business in Ukraine, considering the risks and threats of wartime. As a result of the research, the directions for stimulating entrepreneurial initiatives among war veterans were identified, including: legislative consolidation of the concept of "veteran business"/"entrepreneurial initiatives of war veterans"; adoption of the Strategy for the Development of Business Initiatives of War Veterans until 2030; introduction of a tax grace period for war veteran entrepreneurs who started their own business; provision of targeted subsidies for educational institutions for the training of war veterans; expansion of international cooperation in the direction of grant support. It was determined that providing opportunities for professional development and employment to war veterans, in particular, through the creation of their own business, is within the competence of both state and non-state institutions. At the same time, the development of the mechanism for the development of veteran business will become possible under the condition of the development and implementation of a comprehensive multi-level policy with the activation of joint efforts aimed at forming the institutional and financial foundations of entrepreneurship based on the involvement of effective foreign practices and the experience of other countries that have their own achievements in this direction. It is noted that the military realities of today require the formation of a mechanism for the adaptation of war veterans to civilian life, in particular in the professional sphere. Since the availability of opportunities for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives is the key to the successful integration of military personnel into various spheres of economic activity and an important condition for their adaptation, the development of entrepreneurship among war veterans should become a priority of Ukraine's veteran policy. On the basis of taking into account foreign experience, the results of sociological surveys and research conducted at the initiative of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine, the importance of material support and professional realization of war veterans was noted. It is substantiated that the development of veteran business in the future will create the basis for stimulating small and medium-sized entrepreneurship, detinization of the economy and increasing the amount of tax revenues, increasing the number of jobs and reducing the unemployment rate, rebuilding damaged infrastructure, developing agriculture, the defense industry and other key areas of economic activity; revival of the economy of Ukraine.

Authors:   Forensic research institution, Ivankov Volodymyr
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of deepening organizational and methodological approaches to forensic substantiation of evidence of the amounts of losses of enterprises as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. The legislative regulation of legal relations between the subjects of damages assessment is analyzed, the organizational basis for the sequence of actions of an enterprise when filing claims in court aimed at obtaining compensation (compensation) for damage caused by armed aggression and the actions of a forensic economic expert at the stages of the evidentiary process within the framework of criminal proceedings are established. The essence of the concept of "losses" and its components are characterized in the context of information sources for their justification and methodological support for calculation. An analysis of the formation of an evidence base by a forensic expert for calculating the cost of damage as a result of armed aggression was carried out. The features of the inventory of assets that were damaged or destroyed as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation are considered. The characteristics of the enterprise's inventory records for certain types of assets (goods, stocks) and their reflection and documentation have been clarified. The main requirements for reflecting the book value of assets in the accounting policies of the enterprise are noted. The features of reflecting losses of financial assets, in particular accounts receivable, in the reporting of an enterprise have been studied. A comparative assessment of the fea-tures of methods for calculating damage and harm as a result of war was carried out. Conclusions are drawn regarding the elements of calculating losses, including losses of enterprises of all forms of ownership as a result of destruction and damage to their property, loss of financial assets, as well as lost profits from the im-possibility or obstacles in carrying out business activities. Differences in the normative regulation of damage are established and the characteristics of reporting elements for assessing losses and calculating their amount for the purposes of compensation for damage are determined.
MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Khoma Iryna , Boberskyi Rostyslav ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: February 2024

The article examines the concepts of "risk" and "financial risk". The opinion of scientists and researchers of national and foreign financial literature is given. Uncertainty is an unavoidable circumstance of the functioning of any economic unit, that is why risk is a component of the results of management decisions. Risk is the result of uncertainty. The appearance of uncertainty is caused, first of all, by the fact that the main processes related to entrepreneurship are not initially deterministic. Financial risk is the possibility or probability of the occurrence of unplanned financial expenses in a situation of uncertainty of the circumstances of the activity. The financial risk management system consists of a set of measures aimed at identifying and preventing possible threats and problems. The main task of financial risk management is to reduce the impact of possible negative impacts and threats, as well as to use the identified opportunities with maximum benefit. A significant part of the work is focused on identifying and identifying the financial risks to the economy of Ukraine caused by military actions, in particular, the loss of human capital, the destruction of social and communal infrastructure by the aggressor, the reduction of production, the shortage of energy resources, the increase in the budget deficit and public debt, inflation, the reduction of banking lending and commodity export and others. The essence, goals and objectives of financial risk management are considered. The main principles and directions of financial risk management are analyzed. The relevance of effective management of financial risks is especially acute in the period of economic crisis and martial law in the country. This is due to the fact that the crisis caused by the coronavirus transformed into an economic crisis as a result of military operations on the territory of Ukraine, which has significant negative and long-term consequences for the country's financial sector. Not every financial system of the highly developed states of the world could withstand a number of challenges caused by the war. Thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ukrainian people are able to live, work and rebuild the country.

Para recopilar los datos cualitativos, se realizaron entrevistas y observaciones directas, centrándose específicamente en expedientes de elementos que no lograron aprobar los exámenes de control y confianza. El análisis de datos se llevó a cabo mediante un proceso de categorización, para identificar y comprender las diferentes perspectivas recopiladas durante el estudio.

 Los resultados revelaron desafíos y amenazas que enfrenta la seguridad pública, y las deficiencias en los procesos de control y confianza, que pueden conducir a la estigmatización, exclusión, desigualdades y discriminación.

 En conclusión, se destaca la necesidad de contar con procesos sólidos en la materia, en lugar de simplemente confiar en estos exámenes carentes de fundamentos sólidos ante los procesos jurisdiccionales.
Refugio Climático y Justicia Global
Authors: Prieto Godoy Carlos Alberto , Fernández Reyes Pamela Lili
Published: February 2024

El derecho internacional del refugiado, se ha caracterizado desde su convencionalización en Ginebra en 1951, por procurar protección internacional puntual a colectivos específicos que sufrieron persecución en la Europa de entre guerras. La protección internacional en sus diversas formas, se configura como un rasgo de alta estima, reflejo de los valores democráticos pactados por la comunidad de naciones, pues dicha institución simboliza el ánimo de los Estados, de resarcir el daño causado con la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el propósito de evitar su repetición. Para lo cual, se realizan declaraciones internacionales que reconocen los derechos humanos y la dignidad humana, como presupuesto básico de la paz. Se pretende el desarrollo económico, acabar con la miseria y el hambre, sin perder de vista dichos valores y principios.  El calentamiento global y sus efectos, se configura como el gran reto del Siglo XXI. Hemos dado cuenta en este estudio, sobre la conexidad entre los efectos del cambio climático producto del calentamiento global, distintivo de la era del Antropoceno, con los desplazamientos masivos de personas; a su vez, ponemos de relieve la regulación internacional entre resquicios sobre el refugio climático, que revictimiza a las personas que sufren persecución por dichas razones.

Authors: Alotaibi Ibrahim Mathker Saleh
Published: February 2024

This article discusses the need and the benefits of establishing an international commercial court in Saudi Arabia. Since Saudi Arabia’s legal system has been criticized regarding its openness to international investments, this issue is observed from the perspective of potential investors and business partners interested in doing business in Saudi Arabia. The aim is to determine how setting up a specialized international commercial court will improve the environment for investments and remove legal uncertainties that arise from the lack of such courts. Furthermore, a brief overview of the international rise of commercial courts worldwide will be provided, with comparative examples of the courts in Dubai and Singapore to reveal how those jurisdictions have adapted to the global economy and ensured their positions as regional leaders and investment hubs. The essential procedural rules will be highlighted to provide ideas and directions for Saudi Arabia. Finally, this article will discuss the challenges the Kingdom faces in the race to become the regional investment leader, and then provide some key takeaways. The objective of this article will be to explain how Saudi Arabia will overcome the challenges in establishing an international commercial court that will specialize in the application and interpretation of international commercial regulations, and why the setting up of an international commercial court will have a positive effect on the attraction of foreign investors to do business in the Kingdom. This will be achieved by examining and discussing Dubai and Singapore as comparative legal systems that have already established flexible dispute resolution forums which have been recognized worldwide.

Over the past 12 years, the escalation of violence in conflicts arising from disputes over natural resource management rights between corporations and indigenous communities has become a growing concern across all regions of Indonesia. This abstract introduction highlights the urgent need to address the rising tensions and clashes associated with the competing claims to and utilization of natural resources in the country. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse the causes of violence and conflict resolution over natural resources using an empirical legal study with a socio-legal approach adopted through a case study in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. Informants for the study were selected using a snowball sampling technique, ensuring a diverse and representative range of perspectives. Secondary data was obtained through a literature study by tracing information from journals, books, and the internet, and data analysis was carried out qualitatively. Furthermore, an analysis was performed on the findings of other studies concerning instances of violence in conflicts related to forest and mining resources. This research found that (1). The violence occurred because the company did not respect the customary community’s natural resource control rights. (2). However, violence can be stopped through violence or mediation (3). Resolution of violence in conflict can only be done through mediation. The authors recommend that: (1). The practice of resolving violence in conflicts of rights over natural resources through mediation needs to be strengthened by the government to realize justice for all. (2). In indigenous communities, apart from state law, the legal landscape is still heavily influenced by customary law and religious law.
