Legal values as determinants of sustainable development of society
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Vira Kachur
Published: December 2021

The goals of sustainable development, outlined in the final document of the UN Summit «Transforming our world: the 2030 agenda for sustainable development», continue to be the main model of development for all countries. Sustainable development is formed and provided by various determinants, among which legal values are not the last. They provide legal identification of objects recognized as benchmarking guidelines for sustainable development, and form the value and legal orientations of entities which activities are aimed at performing these tasks. The lack of a common system of legal values leads to the deformation of the legal consciousness of the population, the dominance of nihilistic trends, makes it impossible to achieve sustainability and stability in society. Therefore, the existence of a single value-legal paradigm is a consolidating factor of Ukrainian society, forms a positive attitude of the subjects to the political and legal life of the country, promotes their legal socialization and the development of a proper legal position. This allows to achieve social justice, build the foundations of inclusive development, ensure the rule of law, eradicate corruption and restore trust in the state and its institutions, strengthen social cohesion, ensure the interaction of public authorities with the public and self-organize the activities of citizens. Among the legal values that contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals and form the foundation of legal culture, a special place is occupied by human, justice, freedom, responsibility, equality, patriotism, religious tolerance, etc. Keywords: life choice, legal culture, legal position, legal values, value and legal guidelines, sustainable development, value and legal attitudes
General Features of the System of Principles of Agrarian Law
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Volodymyr Yermolenko
Published: December 2021

The features of the system of modern principles of agrarian law were considered in the article. Attention was drawn to the lack of unity and significant differences between individual author positions in formulating a system of such principles in both qualitative and quantitative aspects. The reason for this situation, which is the opposition of objective and subjective principles in the nature of the principles of agrarian law, has been revealed. The predominance of the subjective component leads to the diversity of the principles proposed by scientists, which should not be invented, but discovered. The inconsistency of the subjective vision of scientists with the objective nature of the principles causes the ineffectiveness of the norms that are a consequence of the implementation of such principles in the normative array. Insufficient level of disclosure of theoretical nuances of formation of principles of agrarian law leads to their identification with tasks of agrarian law as branch of law. It has been stated that most scholars introduce a two-level differentiation of the principles of agrarian law into general and branch (special) ones. Attention was sharpened in the absence of the principles of the intersectoral level in most of the systems proposed today, which leads to unnecessary duplication at the level of sectoral (special) principles. The identification of common law and constitutional principles used in the theory of agrarian law has been criticized. The introduction of a six-tier structure of the system of principles of agrarian law in terms of general (international and national), intersectoral, sectoral, sub-sectoral, institutional and sub-institutional principles was justified. Keywords: agrarian law, principle, the principle of agrarian law, system of principles of agrarian law, structure of principles of agrarian law

Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of the legislation of Ukraine in the field of hydraulic reclamation of lands, as well as to highlight the prospects for the development of legal support of the outlined sphere of public relations. It is established that hydraulic reclamation of lands contributes to increasing soil fertility, increasing productivity and sustainability of agriculture, creating a guaranteed food fund of the state. However, in recent years, the effectiveness of hydraulic land reclamation is declining, due to a number of reasons of objective and subjective nature: insufficient logistics and shortcomings in the operation of hydraulic structures, deterioration of ecological and reclamation of agricultural land, lack of interest and responsibility land users. These factors include incomplete use of scientific developments, insufficient information support, imperfect and outdated legal framework. Given the great importance of hydraulic land reclamation for the development of agriculture in the country, these relations require proper legal regulation. It is concluded that the problems of combating desertification, resource and food security of the state in years with adverse weather conditions, water supply of agriculture cannot be solved only by organizing land reclamation, because this problem is complex. In order to achieve the goals of the Irrigation and Drainage Strategy in Ukraine for the period up to 2030, it is necessary to ensure effective interaction of legal, organizational, economic and financial mechanisms of irrigation and drainage restoration in Ukraine within the framework of the identified priority areas.

Published: December 2021

This article is devoted to the insufficiently studied in the theory of land law the concept of «subcategory of lands». The author established the fact that despite the widespread use of the phrase «subcategory of lands» by domestic and foreign scientists, there are no studies aimed at revealing this concept and outlining the same subcategories of lands. In the course of the research it was established that the current land legislation has about 119 subcategories of land, which are within different categories of land. Using the methods of theoretical and legal science, an attempt was made to reveal the concept of «subcategory of lands» and give it an appropriate definition. It is stated that subcategories of land play an important role in the proper functioning of current land legislation of our state, the lack of allocation and proper legal regulation of subcategories of land can lead to mass violations (intentional or negligent) in the use of land for its intended purpose. To effectively address the issue of proper legal regulation of land subcategories, the author analyzed the successful experience of the United States on this issue and proposed the development of a legal act that could perfectly regulate the relevant land categories, establish a full classification of major categories and subcategories. Lands, as well as provide them with a detailed description. In the final stage of the study, the author emphasizes that there is an urgent need to pay due attention to this issue by lawmakers, scholars and practitioners.

Authors: Madziar Dawid
Published: December 2021

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę udziału Dywizji Polskiej [Księstwa Warszawskiego] w tzw. kampanii Talavery, której zwieńczeniem była rozegrana w dniu 11 sierpnia 1809 r. bitwa pod Almonacid de Toledo. Dywizja Polska, która składa się z trzech pułków piechoty: 4. (płk Feliks Potocki], 7. (płk Maciej Sobolewski) i 9. (płk Antoni Paweł Sułkowski), na mocy zawartego w maju 1808 r. porozumieniaw Bajonnie, przeszła na żołd francuski z zamiarem skierowania jej do służby nad Renem. Zamiast nad Ren, jesienią 1808 r. Dywizja trafiła do Hiszpanii, w której wybuchło powstanie przeciwko narzuconej przez Napoleona władzy króla Józefa Bonapartego. Konflikt szybko przerodził się w wojnę z regularnymi siłami hiszpańskimi, które wsparte zostały przez korpus brytyjski. Bitwa pod Almonacid była najkrwawszym bojem, jaki odbyła w Hiszpanii polska dywizja, ponosząc przy tym duże straty. Dotychczas jednak żaden badacz nie podjął się szerszego opisu tej batalii z perspektywy udziału w niej polskich żołnierzy. Dlatego niniejsze opracowanie stara się wypełnić tę lukę w polskiej historiografii.

Rapid demographic transition with higher growth in ageing population demonstrate a major societal challenge in South Asia and Sri Lankans will age faster than other developing economies in the region. Climate shocks of people living in economically deprived countries will increase in future and elders are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of temperature extremes. The study experimentally investigated free-running residential care homes in hot climate of Colombo performing simultaneous personal monitoring and questionnaire surveys. Results explicitly prove overheated indoors with less air flow. Majority of elders confirmed thermally unacceptable interiors with warm thermal sensations and low air velocities of 0.1 to 0.29 m/s with predominant preference of more air movement proves inadequate passive airflow. A significant relationship between wind preference and presence of openings of their place of stay were evident. Staying away from a window or door instigated to practice a behavioural adaptation of moving towards transitional areas such as corridors, verandas, and outdoor spaces for more wind sensation. Since ageing is associated with physical inabilities and elders spend their life mostly in indoors, findings emphasize the importance of enhancing passive airflow and application of appropriate design strategies to ensure optimum air velocities and dispersion of airflow within interiors.

The urgency of global climate emergency has drawn significant attention to the building industry over the last few years. Today, the building sector is responsible for 38% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to UNEP. 60% -70% of embodied carbon in a conventional column-beam reinforced concrete building is in its floor system. This paper discusses the possibility of constructing an earthen slab system using mud-concrete. It investigates a doubly curved shell structure, working predominantly in compression, to fulfil both environmental and economical demands in the construction industry; reducing the cost and labour expenses nearly 50% compared with that of traditional reinforced concrete slab systems. A 1 m x 1 m prototype mud-concrete slab was constructed to check the potential for modular construction with a square footprint. Poured mud-concrete shell of 50 mm thickness is the primary structural component, while a non-structural mud-concrete filling to a horizontal level 50 mm from apex was used to create a usable floor surface. Masonry mould method was used as the formwork system for the construction considering its cost effectiveness and ease of construction.

Published: December 2021

Sundarbans as the primary coastal defense of Bangladesh against various natural disaster encounters recurrent homelessness due to these calamities, resulting in cutting down forests for housing materials from the only nearby resource. The traditional vernacular practice and socio-cultural studies show a symbiotic relationship between the forest and inhabitants, but the ecological imbalance created by climate change made life difficult for them, whose livelihood solely depends on the forest as well. The inability to reuse the building materials any disaster causes an ever-increasing cycle of carbon footprint. Regarding these, the non-experimental research aims to build such a homestead prototype that creates an adaptable solution. The existing building practices consist of non-reusable materials, poor structural integrity, and lack of sustainable approaches, thus unfit to withstand the increasing disasters and calamities. The approach discussed here utilizes plastic waste, drums, bamboo for disaster adaptability, structural flexibility, rainwater harvesting, solar, and biogas energy for a sustainable lifestyle. So, the goal is to provide a sustainable solution for the economically challenged population. This prototype creates an adaptive strategy for mitigating the disastrous events in Sundarbans to promote resilience and sustainability.

Public spaces are the places where all people can come together and spend their time without any restriction and it can be defined as the “City Living Room”. Therefore, these spaces can foster social cohesion, reduce psychological stress and provide physical activities. Public spaces have unique historic and architectural values and such places can be used to enhance the place making character of the area. Planning agencies often use revitalization, restoration, regeneration, refurbishment or redevelopment as Placemaking tools which can improve the quality of such public spaces in a city. It is often acknowledged that “revitalization” can be identified as one of the viable alternatives instead of demolition of historical buildings. “Revitalization” and “Adaptive re-use” can be identified as the tools for creating public spaces which are livable, accessible and convivial places for all. The previous studies have researched on the aspects an essential method to make places functional, attractive and convivial spaces. Although researchers studied the general functional aspects of revitalized public spaces, a few studies have focused on the quality and the barriers for such revitalized public spaces. This study attempts to fill this research knowledge gap and investigates what are the barriers and areas that need to be improved in the revitalization process within the Sri Lankan context by using three case studies in Colombo. As our framework of this study, we used access & linkages, comfort & image, uses & activities to assess the quality of revitalized places. This study further found that barriers associated with the process of revitalization are regulatory, social barriers, and technical barriers.

Road projects are experiencing huge delays in Sri Lanka due to utility relocation, delays in releasing payments, design changes during construction phase, price escalation and land acquisition to accommodate utility relocation. In some instances, contract of utility projects was awarded when road works were nearing completion. There is no sound legislation that exists defining the powers, rights and obligations of Roads and Utility authorities. As a result, Roads Authorities in Sri Lanka are obliged to pay all costs associated with the above impacts, along with extension of time due to such delays from the allocated funds for road works. This has been causing burden to the project scope and impacting the economy of Sri Lanka. As such, it is important to identify suitable remedial measures to mitigate such impacts during the design and construction stages. Qualitative research method was adopted through the inductive process by selecting purposive samples of experts for semi structured in-depth interviews. In addition, more data was collected through documents review. This study revealed that the knowledge gap in the sector to identify and recommended remedial measures for impacts caused by utility works in road projects in Sri Lanka.

Therefore, this research focused on the basic framework of theological normative values of the religious moderation in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in East Java. Based on this focus, this research emphasized a qualitative approach with a phenomenological type. The findings of this research review that the religious moderation built by the pesantren is based on divine awareness. Reasonably that their attitudes and actions continue to represent religious-spiritual values. Therefore, every dimension of their life is inseparable from Qur'anic ethics, including religious views, attitudes and actions. This is what the researcher termed aas  theological moderation. The implication is not only to dynamize religious life in a society with various movements and beliefs but also to empower rationality (reason) in the pesantren, so that the educational system in the pesantren is also influenced by this religious moderation.

Published: December 2021

This research aimed at discovering the root of the problem of the relation between science and religion, identifying how conflict and collaboration between science and religion answer the challenges that human life pose and describing how religion in the future synergize with the advancement of science. This research emphasizes on the need to delve on the issues related to science and religion since the advancement of science often contradicts with some aspect of the Holy Book as well as the assumption that science rattles someone’s faith. Religion is also often regarded as something that hinders the development of science and people who participate in science development are often considered an infidel. There is a skeptical nuance that arose regarding the relationship between science and religion. Thus, it is of utmost importance to investigate on the ebb and flow of science and religion relation in affecting human life. This research employed methodology of philosophy, especially science philosophy in the form of justification and history of science. This research indicated that science and religion are both collaborating and confronting. Religion is used to make meaning of life and science is used to make life easier.

THE POPULAR DA’WAH MOVEMENT IN URBAN COMMUNITIES: THE ROLE OF HADRAMI SCHOLARS’ DA’WAH IN RESPONSE TO RELIGIOUS RADICALISM IN INDONESIA
Authors: Zamhari Arif , Mustofa Imam
Published: December 2021

This article discusses how the role of the scholars of the descendants of Hadrami or known as Habib performs the activities of popular Islamic Preaching (henceforth: da’wah) in the urban community. This paper specifically analyzes the activities of da’wah of Majelis Salawat Ahbabul Mustafa led by Habib Syech, a Habib, a descendant of the Prophet who lived in Solo, Central Java. Recently, a similar da’wah was made by young Habib to gain popularity among the youth in several major cities in Indonesia. By using the media of tambourine instrumental music in reading the Shalawat, the da’wah of Habib Syech successfully attracts the interest of many participants who mostly came from groups of young people. In the middle of the hard blasphemies of the Salafi Preacher (Dai) against the majority of the religious practices of Indonesian Muslims, the Majelis Salawat led by Habib Shaykh conducted the ‘counter attack’ by means of-ways and elegant manners. This group also performs the da’wah through a cultural approach as Walisongo did by using Javanese idioms to get closer to the objects of da'wah which are mostly located in Java.

Long-term Prescription? Digital Surveillance is Here to Stay
Authors: Švedkauskas Žilvinas , Maati Ahmed
Published: December 2021

An emerging literature has shown concerns about the impact of the pandemic on the proliferation of digital surveillance. Contributing to these debates, in this paper we demonstrate how the pandemic facilitates digital surveillance in three ways: (1) By shifting everyday communication to digital means it contributes to the generation of extensive amounts of data susceptible to surveillance. (2) It motivates the development of new digital surveillance tools. (3) The pandemic serves as a perfect justification for governments to prolong digital surveillance. We provide empirical anecdotes for these three effects by examining reports by the Global Digital Policy Incubator at Stanford University. Building on our argument, we conclude that we might be on the verge of a dangerous normalization of digital surveillance. Thus, we call on scholars to consider the full effects of public health crises on politics and suggest scrutinizing sources of digital data and the complex relationships between the state, corporate actors, and the sub-contractors behind digital surveillance.

Introduction: The current pilot study aimed to examine the short-term effects of ankle Elastic Therapeutic Taping (ETT) on static and dynamic balance. Methods: Twenty-Four individuals with chronic stroke were assigned to an experimental or control group (n=12/group); they both received Conventional Physical Therapy (CT) for 3 weeks, 3 times per week. The experimental group additionally underwent taping to the ankle of the paretic side continuously for 3 weeks. Standardized measures for static and dynamic balance were administered at pre-test and post-test and analyzed using Wilcoxon and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The experimental group significantly improved on two measures, Biodex anterior-posterior static (P=0.03) and medial-lateral dynamic (P=0.04) balance indices, compared to the controls. Both groups improved within their respective groups for Berg Balance Scale and Functional Reach (P<0.05). Static balance consistently improved across measures with the experimental intervention with large effect sizes. Conclusion: Ankle ETT, combined with CT, may be effective in the short-term for improving static and dynamic balance in stroke, compared to CT alone. A future larger randomized trial with longer follow-up is required to establish this method’s effectiveness.

Diabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. This complication can occur due to hyperglycemia that occurs in blood vessels for a long period of time. To determine whether there is a relationship between HbA1c levels on the incidence of diabetic retinopathy on pationts with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan period of 2017 until 2018. This research is an analitical study with retrospective method (case control) and conducted at the General Hospital of Haji Adam Malik Medan. Data collection was performed on medical records of diabetic retinopathy patients at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan in the period January 2017 to December 2018. Data were collected by using medial records of patients with simple random sampling technique with a total sample is 46 samples, 23 samples of diabetic retinopathy, and 23 samples that were not diabetic retinopathy. The results of this study indicate that of 23 diabetic retinopathy samples, 2 of them had controlled HbA1c and the other 21 are not controlled. As well as of the 23 samples were not diabetic retinopathy, 5 of them had HbA1c controlled HbA1c and 18 were uncontrolled. The result of the analysis with chi square test showed no relationship between HbA1c levels to the incidemce of diabetic retinopathy in Type 2 DM patients with a p value of 0,06. From this study it was found that there was no relationship between HbA1c levels and the incidence of diabetic retinopathy for Haji Adam Malik General Hospital in the 2017-2018 period.
La investigación acción y sus contribuciones a la ciencia metodológica: aspectos generales
Authors: Dendasck Carla Viana
Published: December 2021

Debido al aumento de la popularidad y la posibilidad de utilizar la investigación-acción, el instrumento comenzó a utilizarse significativamente, pero con un concepto aún no consolidado, el término se ha aplicado de manera abstracta, sin interpretaciones profundas y detalladas del uso en diversos contextos. Se pretende aclarar a lo largo de este artículo el significado del término, y cómo se puede aplicar de la mejor manera este tipo de instrumentos, actuando dentro del ámbito del rigor científico-metodológico. El problema de la investigación es: ¿cuáles son las posibilidades de utilizar la investigación-acción, sus etapas y cuidados fundamentales? La relevancia de la herramienta radica en que permite la realización de una investigación de manera sistematizada, continua y empírica. Así, se debatirá sobre el papel de la teoría en la investigación-acción y se señalarán las características inherentes a sus fases fundamentales. Se deben considerar algunas preguntas comunes relacionadas con el método, como la participación del investigador, la función social de la reflexión, la necesidad de gestionar los conocimientos adquiridos y la ética en la investigación. Finalmente, se presentan algunos “modelos” de investigación-acción que pueden contribuir a los investigadores en la elección metodológica y la organización.
