L’informatique buissonnière : l’apprentissage du code comme activité élective à l’adolescence
Authors: Larribeau Antoine
Published: March 2023

Cet article se propose d’examiner les trajectoires de socialisation à l’informatique et d’apprentissages autodirigés de la programmation en amateur. Comment comprendre l’engagement dans cette pratique technique et scientifique ? Quels sont les ressorts sociaux de formation du goût pour cette pratique, et comment celle-ci s’articule-t-elle avec la forme scolaire d’éducation ? Les résultats présentés visent à répondre à ces interrogations par l’analyse de trajectoires biographiques de jeunes ayant développé une appropriation « experte » de l’ordinateur et du code. Dans un premier temps, l’article expose les conditions familiales et les sociabilités horizontales susceptibles de former et renforcer la pratique. Dans un second temps, il analyse les rapports aux savoirs des adolescents pour suggérer les formes que prend la mise en concurrence des apprentissages « buissonniers » avec les apprentissages scolaires. Sur la base du constat d’inégales possibilités d’articulation des compétences scolaires et extrascolaires, la dernière partie propose des pistes pour penser la recomposition des appropriations selon les choix et ambitions dans leur orientation des adolescents.
Les apprentissages solitaires : invisibilisation et confrontation des savoirs vidéoludiques acquis sur internet auprès du groupe de pairs
Authors: Roques Noémie
Published: March 2023

Cet article propose d’étudier la place des vidéos YouTube de parties du jeu vidéo Fortnite, un jeu compétitif et très populaire, dans la pratique de deux groupes de collégiens jouant régulièrement à ce jeu au moment de l’enquête. En adoptant une démarche ethnographique fondée sur des entretiens semi-directifs, des observations et des discussions informelles avec les différents garçons qui composent ces deux groupes, nous souhaitons mettre en lumière une pratique solitaire de consommation de vidéos et dévoiler leur rôle, souvent dissimulé au groupe de pairs, dans l’apprentissage de ce jeu. L’analyse de la portée préfigurative, puis configurative, des vidéos regardées révèle une dimension autonome et solitaire de l’apprentissage. Il est cependant nécessaire de replacer ces consommations au sein du groupe de pratique, et d’envisager le recours aux vidéos comme un palliatif aux manques didactiques du groupe de pratique, mais aussi dans certains cas comme rattrapage culturel.
Le succès entrepreneurial sur la plateforme marchande Etsy : compétences numériques ou dispositions sociales ?
Authors: Jourdain Anne
Published: March 2023

Vendre sur une plateforme marchande telle qu’Etsy implique un intense travail marchand numérique (adapter sa boutique en ligne à l’algorithme d’Etsy, publier sur les réseaux sociaux, etc.). Ce travail suppose de nombreux savoir-faire et compétences, et donc une socialisation aux technologies numériques de la plateforme. Pour comprendre les quelques succès et les nombreux échecs de la marchandisation en ligne, et contribuer ce faisant à une sociologie des apprentissages sur internet, l’article propose d’analyser le processus d’acquisition de ces compétences numériques. L’apprentissage repose moins sur des dispositifs formels que sur des logiques informelles telles que l’expérimentation par essais et erreurs et l’intégration d’une communauté de pratique. Il peut lui-même être conceptualisé comme un travail, mais aussi comme un jeu. Plus généralement, l’acquisition plus ou moins difficile et rentable de compétences numériques s’articule à des dispositions sociales déjà-là, impliquant de réinsérer les temporalités de l’apprentissage dans les parcours biographiques des vendeur.ses d’Etsy.
Detrimental factors contributing to the non-functioning of
Christian men in their leadership role in context of family
and church: A qualitative analysis
Authors: Freeks Professor Fazel Ebrihiam , Alard Rev Dr Arthur John
Published: March 2023

This paper engaged the qualitative method of structured interviews with Christian men due to non-functioning in the family and church. The paper emphasises the leadership role of the man in context of family and church. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate how men function in their leadership role in context of family and church so that challenges may be identified, and practical solutions be recommended to the church for the equipping of Christian men. The question that this paper endeavoured to answer was: Which detrimental factors have contributed to the non-functioning of Christian men in their role as spiritual leaders in context of family and church? The structured interviews used in this study involved fifteen male participants selected from the surroundings of evangelical churches in Johannesburg, South Africa. This paper provides a description of the research process related to the qualitative data
analysis and its results related to the participant responses. The feedback from the respondents shed light on the need for the equipping of Christian men in the selected churches for their leadership role in the mentioned contexts. This paper contributes to Christian families and churches having a sound biblical worldview of the leadership role of the man, and a clear understanding of the authority of Scripture in their lives and ministry. This paper comes from a chapter in a larger study from a PhD thesis: The leadership role of the man in context of the family and church: A pastoral-theological study.
Symbol in African Religion and Philosophy: the Tiv Experience
Authors: Odey Elizabeth Akpanke , Asuquo Offiong Offiong , Amokaha Gabriel Salemkaan , Onah Gregory Ajima , Obo Ekpenyong O.
Published: March 2023

Tiv religion is a traditional religion of the people of Benue State, located in the middle belt of the North Central region of Nigeria. This religion is a unique religion because the religion and the people of this region are exclusively peculiar only to the region. Symbols are basic phenomena in the Tiv religion. Tiv people religion, culture and symbols are synonymous and characteristically outstanding in the Nigerian culture. Symbolism is thus a special feature of its religion for it put them on the world map of culture, religion and tradition. Therefore, symbols play a pivotal role in the transmission, interaction, information dissemination and the interplay between the Tiv people and culture, and it culminates in physical and the spiritual world interaction. In other words, it is the thought process of communication between the physical and metaphysical realms. It creates a link between the finite and the infinite. It serves as a character molding agent, and is an agent of supernatural policing and enforcement of punishment. It also guarantees moral conduct and ethos in the society in which it operates. Its various symbolic arts and expressions symbolizes the present and offer some evidence of divine agencies. It therefore connotes an intertwining of both the spirit and physical realms. It is the evidence of the expression of divine injunctions, codes and ethics, and a mode to reprimand actions as well as serving as an agent of deterrence in the society. The role of the Tiv religion and philosophy cannot be over emphasized. The paper employed a literary descriptive method since the research is qualitative in nature.
Traditional and biblical concepts of marital infidelity among Igbo people of Nigeria in the face of Covid 19
Authors: Anizoba Emmanuel C.
Published: March 2023

Infidelity in marriage has long been a problem among married men and women in Nigerian society and globally. The study explores traditional and Biblical notions of marital infidelity in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the goal of identifying some of the key reasons and effects of infidelity among Nigeria's Igbo people. For data analysis, the study used a qualitative phenomenological research design and a descriptive approach. Personal interviews were the major source of data collecting, whereas library materials including academic articles, the media and books were the secondary sources utied. According to the research, many spouses in traditional Igbo Cultural Marriage spend time away from each other for farming and other hobbies. Couples were spending more time together than normal during the Covid-19 epidemic. Domestic violence suffered during the pandemic, as a result, may have led to one partner seeking love, care, and support outside of the marriage union, culminating in infidelity. Financial uncertainty, as well as other factors such as unemployment,
a lack of social support, and heightened stress, are all factors that contribute to marital infidelity during a pandemic and at other times. The study proposes that both the male and female in a marriage should have correct religious and social attitudes and dispositions in order to have a healthy and prosperous family during times such as the Covid-19 pandemic and at all times.
Missio politica on Coalition Governance: ‘better devils’ in SA Coalition Politics
Authors: Thinane Dr Jonas Sello
Published: March 2023

Missio Dei has both total salvation and the attainment of the all-encompassing kingdom of God as central objectives, meriting the participation of all sectors of human society. However, as the resulting circumstances of several African developing countries can attest, the unsustainably disruptive nature of Governments of National Unity (GNUs) or coalition governments contradicts such unifying divine mandate. Using South Africa's coalition politics, where the likelihood of forming coalition governments depends on who is the ‘‘better devil’’, this paper draws on the literature to make a strong argument against the coalition government model. Accordingly, using the framework of missio politica to test the mandate of democratic politics in fulfilling the objectives of missio Dei, it is argued that coalition government models are usually at odds with missio Dei or the mandated objectives thereof.
Kingdom-Driven Living Based on Matthew 5-7
Authors: Montang Ricky Donald
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the life that is driven by the Kingdom of God based on Matthew 5-7, which must be implemented and realized in the daily life of every citizen of the Kingdom of God so that Jesus' prayer "Thy kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven” can be realized. The method used in this study was a qualitative method with a biblical and bibliographical literature study approach. This was through the science of exegesis because the research is based on the Bible and more especially on Matthew 5-7. This method of literature study is carried out to support the truth obtained through intensive Bible study. The research was conducted to better ascertain a life driven by the Kingdom of God which is characterized by various indicators, the character of the citizens of the Kingdom of God, the influence of the citizens of the Kingdom of God, the morality of the citizens of the Kingdom of God, the piety of the citizens of the Kingdom of God, the ambitions of the citizens of the Kingdom of God, the relations of the citizens of the Kingdom of God and the submission of the citizens of the Kingdom God.
Inter-Faith Marriages: Engaging Nigerian Religious Identity in the film North East
Authors: Layefa Goodluck , Ezenagu Ngozi
Published: March 2023

Inter-faith marriage, as a challenge to religious identity is commonplace in many religious societies. In pre-colonial Nigerian society the institution of marriage was hedged with strict ethnic modalities which became weakened by western influences through colonisation. Thus, inter-faith marriage, one of the features of modern Nigeria is beset with challenges deeply reflected in the differences in religious beliefs. The prevalence of this challenge made it open to redress from different social instruments, and specifically film. In the narrative of the film North East, there appears to be a negotiation of religious identity instead of the promotion and preservation of it as a sub-set of culture. This study examined this negotiation of religious identity in relation to marriage with the aim of ascertaining the acceptability in the modern African society, and in particular, Nigeria. It employed a qualitative survey as research design, and the data collection instrument was focus group discussion (FGD). The study found that love rather than religious identity should be the foundation of marriage. In addition, the study revealed that the film industry can encourage inter-faith marriages in multi-religious societies despite the challenges as presented in the North East. Therefore, the study concluded that since inter-faith marriage is fraught with challenges, film producers, should endeavour to run a follow-up story line that may present a clear picture of aftermath challenges of inter-faith marriage and its management.
The use of anointed products during Covid-19 lockdown: An African Pentecostal spirituality experience
Authors: Kgatle Mookgo Solomon
Published: March 2023

The use of anointed products such as anointing oil and anointing water within the broader Pentecostal movement in world Christianity has been documented in previous studies. Traditionally, the demand for these products is based on the quest to receive healing and deliverance from sicknesses, barrenness, witchcraft, and so forth. The products are also used to access job placement, promotion, a house, a car, and other material possessions. This paper worked within African Pentecostal spirituality of experience to explore the use of anointed products during Covid-19 lockdown. Regardless of many perceptions and misconceptions about the anointed products, they were used as a point of contact during the Covid-19 lockdown. The paper used Apostle Mohlala Ministries in Cape Town, South Africa as a case study to explore the use of these products during Covid-19 lockdown. The argument in this paper is that these products were used as a substitute for spiritual service during the Covid-19 lockdown. In other words, anointed products became a point of contact when members of these ministries could not meet physically during the Covid-19 lockdown. This changes how Pentecostal scholars study anointed products within the broader Pentecostal movement. Despite their challenges such as commercialization and other abuses, anointed products become a point of contact in Pentecostal spirituality of experience. For the believers that could not attend church during the Covid-19 lockdown, anointed products became a medium to connect spiritually.
Adolescents’ sexual health: Elucidating the paradoxical influence of Christianity in School Sexuality Education Programmes in King Cetshwayo District, South Africa
Authors: Adekola Ayobami Precious , Mothoagae Itumeleng Daniel
Published: March 2023

Despite the implementation of a school-based sexuality education programme meant to promote learners' sexual and reproductive health (SRH), the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and teenage pregnancy is increasing rapidly in South Africa. This phenomenon can be observed in rural schools such as those in King Cetshwayo district in the Kwazulu Natal Province. We argue that it is critical to investigate the contextual factors that influence the effectiveness of sexuality education in these schools, which ultimately impacts the learners' sexual health outcomes. The paper applies an information-motivation-behavioural skills model as its theoretical paradigm for this qualitative, phenomenological study. In 2020, nine focus group interviews were conducted to gather in-depth experiences and perspectives from a purposively sampled group of learners in the study setting. The analysis of the collected data was guided by the interpretative phenomenological analysis framework. The results indicated that the religious antecedents of learners and teachers and the activities of faith-based organisations in the study setting influence the acceptance or rejection of sexuality education messages. Based on the study findings, we argue that Christianity as a colonial religion has functioned as both a barrier and an enabler of effective school-based sexuality education. Therefore, we recommend that the paradoxical
effects of religion on school-based sexuality education be addressed by optimising the enhancing effects and mitigating the inhibiting effects on sexuality education programmes in the research setting. We also propose that leaders of faith-based organisations be considered critical stakeholders in the implementation of a school-based sexuality education programme, hence the need for continuous engagement.
Integrating Women into the Leadership of Christian Missions Agency
Authors: Famorot Adeyemi John
Published: March 2023

Christian Missions Agency is an organised body of Christians that are making efforts to propagate Christianity among those who have not come into contact with the faith. Christian mission activities need a diversity of thinking and experience in a leadership team. Missions’ agencies also need leadership that meets a new set of societal needs and circumstances. One easy and obvious step toward diversity in such a body is incorporating women into all levels of the organisational leadership matrix, particularly in the top leadership positions. This paper is not to be construed as a campaign against male leadership; instead, it seeks to increase the equal representation of women and men as part of the mission work teams and within the leadership of a Christian missions organisation. There is a need to create a space for all voices to be heard since all are created equal in the sight of God. An effective mission organisation needs to view women and men as equal contributors to the kingdom’s growth and to general social progress. It also aims to encourage women to take on different roles and ensure their skills do not go unnoticed in broader society. Leadership in missions should not in any way be gender-biased. Organisations that do not intentionally create a space for women with leadership gifts to be able to use their gifts for the good of all, will ultimately lose those women’s valuable contributions. Some of the reasons commonly cited to explain why women, either married or single, cannot be considered on the same footing as their male counterparts are unwarranted. These are inter alia gender barriers that hinder them, identity challenges, and a perception that a woman is primarily responsible for only family care and thus gains cultural acceptability. The paper concludes with
suggested ways of integrating women into leadership of Christian missions as a critically important addition to them.
Reading the text of 1 Kings 3:7-9 as inspirational teaching on leadership to the modern church: A hermeneutical perspective
Authors: Masoga Mogomme Alpheus
Published: March 2023

The present study critically examines the text of 1 Kings 3:7-9 in order to present its concepts as inspirational teachings on leadership to the modern church. From a hermeneutical perspective, the research attempts to discuss the chosen text not necessarily as panacea to good leadership but more so as inspirational teachings for individuals occupying leadership positions in a modern church. It is shown that Solomon ascends to the throne of kingship of a united monarchy after his father King David. The text depicts King Solomon in his prayer to God that “…I am a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties” (v.7). As if to suggest that God does not know,
Solomon informs God that Israel is “…a great people, too numerous to count or number” (v.8). The above assertion by Solomon will be analyzed in view of a previous census by King David. The study will exegete the text in order to establish the contextual meaning of the metaphor “little child” used by King Solomon. In addition, King Solomon is metaphorically requesting Yahweh’s provision of a “discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong” (v.9). The study is guided by symbolic interactionism as a theoretical framework. A case study model is employed as a research method in which previous contributions on hermeneutics and
leadership in the Bible will be explored.
Synergy of Pancasila Humanism and Theological Ethics: The Foundation for Building a Digital Culture towards the unity of the Indonesian Nation
Authors: Ngesthi Yonathan Salmon Efrayim , Anjaya Carolina Etnasari , Saptorini Sari , Arifianto Yonatan Alex , Triposa Reni
Published: March 2023

Digital culture has become a hot topic to be discussed together, given its increasingly strong impact on the life of Indonesian society in this digital era. The fact that lifestyle is shaped by the influence of digital technology in this era illustrates the decline in human values. Overcoming this requires an expected order or culture as a binder and shaper of a social lifestyle in Indonesia based on ideology and the state ideology termed Pancasila, so that the essence of interacting and communicating returns to its substance. Pancasila Humanism does not conflict with Christian teachings because the Bible shows how much God loves humans created in His image. Many verses show that God commands humans to live in harmony and respect one another's rights. The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative with literature study techniques through books, journal articles, general articles on the internet, and manifold other relevant literature. This study aims to describe the importance of digital culture based on the values of Pancasila humanism. It also clarifies how to build this culture along with the challenges and impacts. The study's results concluded that a digital culture based on Pancasila humanism could be built through collaboration, literacy, and socialization, all of which are to be accelerated. The Lord Jesus commands us to carry out our role as the ‘salt’ and ‘light’ of the world (Matthew 5:13- 16). The church must thus be able to manifest Biblical truths amid society in diverse ways for the betterment of all of humanity.
Towards Achieving National Integration in A Heterogeneous Nigerian Society: A Theological
Reflection on Romans 9:25-26
Authors: Oyetade Dr M.O. , Femi-Olubiyi Esther Adeola
Published: March 2023

Over the last few decades, several problems have been militating against Nigeria as a nation. This is because Nigeria is a mixture of many ethnic groups and diverse religious orientations. Those problems range from the religious crisis, poverty and ethnocentrism to socio-economic, political and academic issues. The objective of this paper is to unearth the havoc ethnocentrism has caused socially, economically, politically, educationally and religiously in Nigeria. The study employed a historical and exegetical approach as its methodology. The paper found that ethnicity and religion are key issues in national integration that political elites use to camouflage their incompetency, corruption, leadership failure and loss of political interest. The consequences are various ethnic conflicts, prejudices, religious crises, insecurity and agitation for separation and secession which do not augur well for national integration and development. Paul the Apostle in Romans. 9:25-26 presents a theological thought that could serve as a panacea as to how a heterogeneous Nigerian society can be integrated with people of different races and social classes peacefully. The paper concludes
that the nation should apply the principle that delights to take those who are "not my people" and make them "my people" to achieve national integration in Nigeria. The paper, therefore, recommended restructuring the federal system of government, driving equity and fair distribution of appointments, placing less emphasis on religion and ethnicity on official documents and harvesting sports solidarity for national integration to give way for development to thrive at the state and local levels and permeate all-inclusive living theology.
Father absence as a risk factor for child neglect and abuse: A biblical and multidisciplinary approach to transform broken families in the South African landscape
Authors: Freeks Prof Fazel Ebrihiam , De Jager Dr Elzahne Simeon
Published: March 2023

This paper aims to address father absence as a key contributory factor to child neglect and abuse and a cause of disrupted and unstable families by means of an explorative literature review. The study follows a biblical and multidisciplinary approach and collaboration between scholars from the fields of social work and theology in an effort to transform broken families. The Children’s Act, 38 of 2005, stipulates that children in need of care and protection refer to children who face social issues such as abuse, absent parents, and children who abuse alcohol and drugs, among other things. These children require adequate care, love, and security. A stable family or home environment can provide stability, security, and a caring environment where children can develop to become emotionally healthy and pro-social. God can transform families, especially the families of children who receive the ministry of his Word. The Scripture in Jeremiah 31 verse 29 proclaims: “The fathers have eaten a sour grape and the children’s teeth are set on edge”. This quote refers to the involvement of the father as the primary leading figure in the family. It illustrates that proper fathering has a much broader significance than just the biological production of children. South Africa has experienced rapid changes, including shifts in family composition. There are many broken relationships, and father absence is a salient issue. Countless numbers of children in the South African landscape are being raised without their biological fathers. Many experiences no fatherly presence at all as they lack an alternative figure. Children are often humiliated for being fatherless and many families are challenged by father absence, and this creates in children a sense of loss and confusion. Hence, the aim of this article to reciprocate to father absence as social ill from a biblical point of view and to suggest a transformative ecclesial praxis.

Published: March 2023

The issue of optimizing the mechanism of prosecution of the subjects of the crime in connection with Russia’s war against Ukraine launched in February 2022, as a result of which impunity of war criminals is gaining momentum and leads to violation of legislation, both in Ukraine and in the world, in particular in such countries as: Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, etc. In this regard, the purpose of this editorial is twofold: on the one hand, it seeks to present volume 41, number 76 of “Cuestiones Políticas” and, on the other hand, is to highlight the issue of the subject of the crime, its signs and main features, enshrined in international legal acts. It was concluded that the analysis of international treaties gives grounds to affirm that the subject of the subject of the crime is quite widely disclosed and attention is paid to the separation of the concepts of subjects of international crimes and subjects of crimes of international character; the difference between these concepts is fundamental and very important. Taking into account the attitude of the international community to the concept of the subject of crime, possible areas for improvement of the current legislation are outlined.

Published: March 2023

The aim of the article was to consider the peculiarities of the notarial practice of declaring will in civil transactions in the countries of the European Union EU, in view of the further adaptation of positive practices in Ukraine. The main methodological tools used in the research were the methods of observation and comparison. The conducted research showed that the European Regulation regulating the matter established the legal basis for the use of electronic trust services in notarial practice. The use of qualified electronic signatures and seals, electronic time stamps and authentication in this area gives confidence in a higher level of document security. The use of electronic ID and electronic trust services also simplifies time-consuming formalities in notarial practice. It was found that integrated video conferencing systems, business process workflows and electronic legal signature systems are becoming mandatory components of the digitization of notarial practice. Gaya, a European program for electronic identification, can be an example for the implementation of conditions for the current notarial practice of declaration of will in civil transactions in Ukraine.

Legal approaches to the regulation of migration processes in the European Union
Authors: Todoshchak Oleg , Neugodnikov Andrii , Valuieva Liudmyla , Tsarenko Olha , Tsarenko Serhii
Published: March 2023

Using an interpretative methodology, the article examines approaches to the regulation of migration processes in the light of the increasing flow of immigrants to the European Union EU. In this context, two main directions of regulation of migration processes are considered: legal regulation and integration measures. It can be concluded that the international legal regulation of migration processes in the EU is based on adopted and ratified declarations, conventions, covenants and protocols, which form a general international legal basis for the regulation and management of migration processes at the interstate level. Accordingly, the analysis of migration legislation and state border legislation allows distinguishing three types of documents according to their content, which are related to the fight against irregular migration: a) regulatory legal acts determine the model of legal entry and stay of a migrant on the territory of the country; b) law enforcement rules establish responsibilities and regulate the application of other coercive measures in case of violation of migration rules, and; c) documents of organizational content determine the competence of the authorities involved in the process of combating illegal immigration.
The European Union as a supranational association and the problem of state sovereignty
Authors: Kostyrya Inna , Biletska Oksana , Shevchenko Marina , Kropyvko Olena , Lysenko Taras
Published: March 2023

The objective was to analyze the European Union EU as a supranational association, which, in turn, leads to problems of state sovereignty. The methodology employed consisted of general and special scientific methods. Sovereignty is an archaic political construct. There are two opposites: one focuses on the state and proclaims that sovereignty resides in a particular level of government, the parliament and the government derived from it; the other is the multilevel approach that presents sovereignty through a new prism, claiming that the concept itself is obsolete, challenging globalization and integration. The ability and right of existing states to exercise supreme authority over their territory, control access to it and defend their citizens has become more difficult to exercise. To conclude, globalization, transnational trade, culture and travel are just some of the factors that have challenged the effective capacity of the state. To adapt to these transformations, sovereignties are joined or shared with other states, as states are the main actors in an organization such as the EU because their interaction is so complex and intense that it has modified their independence.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of the research was to know the most significant personal and functional determinants of the professional deformation in the penitentiary staff. The importance of legal and moral awareness for the performance of operational and service activities, correction and resocialization of convicts is substantiated. It has been proved that a professionally deformed employee knows the legal and moral norms, but complies with them subjectively and arbitrarily and justifies his actions with various circumstances related to the specifics of the psychology and behavior of convicts. The methodological basis of the research is presented as comparative-legal and systematic analysis, formal-legal method, method of interpretation, hermeneutic method, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. The conclusions identify socio-psychological measures aimed at the prevention of professional deformation of prison staff, among which are: improvement of the system of training, education and professional development; formation and maintenance of a sense of security, confidence in the usefulness and fairness of work. In addition, careful selection of personnel should be carried out taking into account the business qualities and especially the moral qualities of employees, etc.

Authors: Shtepa Оleksii , Kovalenko Svitlana , Koban Olha , Holovko Oleksandr , Aksyonova Vira
Published: March 2023

The aim of the article was to carry out a socio-philosophical analysis of the legal mentality in the context of European integration processes. Comparative and observational methods were the main methodological tools. The research revealed that the legal mentality of the EU population is characterized by respect for the law, human rights and freedoms. The rights of the individual are recognized as priority over the rights of the state. The Ukrainian legal mentality is characterized by legal nihilism, legal idealism, statism, anomie, detachment from legal culture and ambivalence. It is concluded that, the consolidation of civil society with public authority during the military aggression of the Russian Federation indicates positive changes in the legal mentality. There are some positive changes in the attitude of the EU population towards the future EU membership of Ukraine. Increased legal awareness is a necessary component for the development of Ukraine’s legal mentality. The current achievements embodied in the national and European legal mentality in the EU countries can be guidelines for Ukraine to achieve its goal of European integration.

Authors: Todorova Olha , Sydorovych Olena , Gutsul Inna , Herasymiuk Paul , Krysovata Kateryna
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the article was to study the elements of the legal regulatory mechanism in the field of customs policy and its impact on the development of export potential, to clarify the essence of export potential and to study effective financial and non-financial measures to support exports. The research methods used were: monographic analysis, analysis and synthesis, systemic, comparative and legal, generalization and forecasting methods. The need to develop effective measures aimed at the development of export potential has been substantiated.

The relevance of the research comes from the extent of the influence of information and communication technologies in socially significant areas, where the manipulation of public consciousness, in the Internet space, particularly in social networks, is an obvious phenomenon. The aim of the study was to discuss the opinion that the main driving factor in the use of social networks, as a proven platform for the manipulation of public consciousness, has been increased by social restrictions on personal contacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. General and special research methods were employed to achieve the stated objective. It is concluded that, despite the obvious advantages of the use of social networks in the political process, the political manipulations that currently exist in the virtual environment are often of a destructive nature and carry hidden symbolic threats to destabilize the life of a given country, as well as to worsen the quality of life of each of its citizens. Most of the time, political manipulations in the virtual environment take place at various stages of the electoral process.
La justicia desde la perspectiva liberal de Rawls y Nussbaum
Authors: Bracho Fuenmayor Pedro Luis
Published: March 2023

In this research, the objective was to analyze justice from the liberal perspective of John Rawls and Martha Nussbaum, with a comparative approach. A documentary review of the bibliographic material about the productions of Rawls (1975, 1971, 1986, 1996, 1097), and Nussbaum (1992, 2007, 2012, 2014, 2016) was carried out, also considering the approach of experts in the subject. It is a qualitative research of descriptive type, with methodological design of theoretical, documentary and diachronic cut. The data collection technique was the signing or registration of author, documentary and content references. As a result, an analytical comparison was established referring to some criteria on the notion of justice, and it is concluded by analyzing the postulates of these two philosophers, that the theoretical supports of Rawls, are far from the real society, by assuming that all primary social goods; freedom, equal opportunities, income, wealth and the bases of mutual respect, must be distributed in an equal way, while for Nussbaum justice must produce in its citizens the ability to deliberate, think, discuss, choose and tries to overcome the concept of justice proper to contractualism ensuring respect for the value and dignity of each individual.
Responsabilidad social clientelar: hacia la reconfiguración de un nuevo paradigma dominante en política
Authors: Ullauri Betancourt Santiago Andrés
Published: March 2023

Through a reflexive and documentary methodology, the article examines the connection between clientelism and social responsibility. Understanding social responsibility as a collaborative effort to promote happiness by members of the economic, political and cultural apparatus. Furthermore, it explores the service and mastery paradigm of bureaucratic theory, which, at least in theory, increases organizational efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness. It is concluded that clientelism in administration seeks a bureaucracy delineated in power and service, where the logic and point of view of the client rules. Those who have the ability to judge and discriminate between what is true and what is not, can critically assess these issues. Reason, which is innate in human beings, creates a variety of articulated ideologies. These ideas are supported by Weber’s bureaucratic theory and Descartes’ method discourse approaches, according to which the client’s search for truth is governed by two essential perspectives: collaboration with the human sciences and service for life.
