Analisis Pemikiran Koperasi Bung Hatta dan Korelasinya
Authors: Sabon Nurmala N , Lamondo Lamondo
Published: August 2023

Mohammad Hatta is called the father of Indonesian cooperatives. It is believed that he has succeeded in providing a form of contribution to the theory of populist economics with an applicative form of cooperatives. When a cooperative or small sector is recognized as one that meets the demands of the Indonesian people. Bung Hatta's thinking is built on solidarity and the idea that each member and supporter will value themselves in their way. Analyzing these operations can help us understand and deal with economic and moral difficulties. An operation must have both of the factors described below to qualify as "getting stronger." Since cooperation is the essence of business, it also encourages people to work together and pursue common goals without complaining to other individuals who are outside the same organizational structure. In cooperatives, there is often no dominant individual. In a synergistic partnership, the only thing both people have in common is working together on a capital project or demonstrating confidence in a particular business venture in exchange for profit sharing based on merit and contract.

Design and Implementation of a Safe Equine Radiation-Free Radiographic Simulator for Veterinary Skills Training in the Pre-clinical Curriculum
Authors: Leith Gayle S. , Hallam Lisa , Englar Ryane E.
Published: August 2023

The ninth standard of accreditation as outlined by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education (COE) mandates that all accredited colleges of veterinary medicine must provide instruction in medicine and surgery, including principles of practice, hands-on experiences with diagnostic methods, and interpretation of clinical findings. In equine practice, diagnostic imaging is used as a first-line diagnostic approach and is an integral part of pre-purchase and lameness examinations. Accuracy and consistency of radiographic interpretation relies heavily upon procedural techniques to acquire diagnostic images and overcome both motion artifacts and obliquity. Because the sizes and temperaments of equine patients potentiate hazardous working conditions for the veterinary team, learners might benefit from simulations that allow them to practice holding the x-ray generator and the imaging plate for diagnostic image acquisition in the absence of live horses. This teaching tip describes the development of a novel equine radiographic simulator for skills training in the veterinary curriculum. The model allows learners to handle imaging equipment safely and without radiation exposure as they develop proficiency positioning radiographic plates and placing directional markers. Learners can also test their understanding of radiographic positioning in reverse: if given a radiograph, they can be asked to describe how the x-ray generator was positioned to obtain the diagnostic image. Future iterations will investigate the simulator's efficacy with respect to learning outcomes when the model is paired with an assessment rubric as part of an objective standardized clinical examination.
Experience of EU countries in legal regulation of agricultural land turnover between agricultural producers
Authors: Deineha Maryna , Gutsol Ruslan
Published: August 2023

The article examines the peculiarities of legal regulation of agricultural land turnover among agricultural producers in the EU countries and identifies the areas for improvement of national legislation in this area. The study finds that international experience indicates that there are various models of legal regulation of land turnover among agricultural enterprises which can be effective if they take into account the specific features of a particular country and national interests. Almost every country in the world regulates such turnover in one way or another. There are countries with “hard” and “soft” regulation of land transactions between agricultural producers. However, almost every developed EU country gives priority to farmers who live in the area and run their own farms, as opposed to large agricultural holdings. Despite the fact that in the EU countries the legislation on the turnover of agricultural land between agricultural producers is based on different models of legal regulation, the positive experience of these countries should be used to improve the national legislation in this area. In the area of legal support for the use of land by agricultural producers, the national land legislation should pay special attention to granting pre-emptive rights to purchase agricultural land to farms, territorial communities, tenants, etc; provide for the establishment of a preferential procedure for the acquisition of such land and the granting of tax benefits; and define the limits of land concentration at the level of regions and united territorial communities or establish a permit procedure for the acquisition of land plots with an area larger than that established in a particular region or united territorial community.

Legal values as determinants of sustainable development of society
Authors: Kachur Vira
Published: August 2023

The goals of sustainable development have been outlined in the outcome document of the UN Summit “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, and they remain the main development model for all countries of the world. Sustainable development is formed and ensured by various determinants, among which the legal values occupy not the last place. They provide legal identification of objects recognized as benchmarks for sustainable development and form the value-legal orientations of subjects whose activities are aimed at fulfilling these tasks. The absence of a common system of legal values leads to a deformation of legal consciousness of the population, the dominance of nihilistic trends, and it makes it impossible to achieve constancy and stability in society. Therefore, the presence of a single value-legal paradigm is a consolidating factor of Ukrainian society, it forms a positive attitude of the subjects to the political and legal life of the country, it contributes to their legal socialization and the development of an appropriate legal position. This makes it possible to achieve social justice, build the principles 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 state authorities with the public and self-organize the activities of citizens. The following concepts occupy a special place among the legal values, which contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals and form the foundation of legal culture: a person, justice, freedom of responsibility, equality, patriotism, religious tolerance, etc.

Authors: Yermolenko Volodymyr , Zhuryna Aliona
Published: August 2023

The experience of peculiarities of legal regulation of ecotourism in Poland is being studied, since Poland is the western neighbor of Ukraine and it has passed the European integration path. Thus, the application of Poland’s positive experience in the issues of legal regulation of using the natural resources for the needs of ecotourism will be really useful. In particular, special attention is paid to the issues of a clear definition of the ecotourism concept (rural green tourism), the purpose of ecotourism is determined; in addition, this scientific article directly analyzes Polish legislation; it is possible to determine the main criteria that delimit eco/rural green tourism from other types of tourism. In general, it is determined that Poland’s experience regarding the legal regulation of ecotourism and the use of natural resources for the needs of ecotourism is quite progressive, since the legislation contains a number of provisions that regulate various issues that are not regulated in Ukraine. Therefore, this scientific article also identifies certain aspects of the legal regulation of ecotourism (rural green tourism) in Poland, which can be useful for Ukraine. In this scientific article, there are proposals that can be tested by the domestic legislator in the process of forming legislation on the use of natural resources for the needs of ecotourism.
Current state and prospects for the development of legal support for hydrotechnical land reclamation
Authors: Deineha Maryna
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of Ukrainian legislation in the field of hydrotechnical land reclamation, as well as highlighting the prospects for the development of legal support for a certain area of public relations. It has been established that hydrotechnical land reclamation contributes to an increase in the soil fertility, increase in the productivity and sustainability of agriculture, and the creation of a guaranteed food fund of state. However, in recent years, the efficiency of hydrotechnical land reclamation has been declining, which is explained by a number of objective and subjective reasons: insufficient material and technical support and shortcomings in usage of hydrotechnical structures, the deterioration of ecological and reclamation state of agricultural land, insufficient interest and responsibility of the landowners and land users. These factors include the incomplete use of scientific developments, insufficient information support, imperfect and outdated legal and regulatory framework. Considering the great importance of hydrotechnical land reclamation for the development of the country’s agriculture, these relations require proper legal regulation. It has been concluded that it is impossible to solve the following problems through the organization of land reclamation: combating desertification, providing resources and food for the state in years with adverse weather conditions, providing agriculture with water. All this due to the fact that this problem is complex. To achieve the goals of irrigation and drainage strategy in Ukraine for the period up to 2030 within certain priority directions, it is necessary to ensure the effective interaction of legal, organizational, economic and financial mechanisms for the restoration of irrigation and drainage in Ukraine.

Principles of legal regulation of bioenergy use in the European Union
Authors: Holub Svitlana , Shinkaruk Natalia
Published: August 2023

The relevance of the study is determined by raising and solving the issue of regulation of such a field of energy as bioenergy in the legal field of the European Union. The main purpose of this paper was to investigate the specific features of legal norms for the use of bioenergy in the European Union, to identify the available problems and prospects, possible ways to improve EU legal norms in this area, which are also subject to application in the Ukrainian legal system. The author paid attention to the new provisions that were implemented in connection with the adoption of Directive 2018/2001. The leading methods for studying this problem were the following: functional approach, logical analysis method, synthesis method, deduction method, etc. The impact of these provisions on the energy sector of the European Union and on the environment of its member states in general has also been investigated in sufficient detail. Special attention is paid to the positions of scientists and the recent lawsuit regarding the adoption of Directive 2018/2001. The paper examines the specific features of the legal regulation of bioenergy in the European Union, analyses the concept of bioenergy and biofuels in Ukrainian and European legislation, and highlights the main provisions of the European Union directives concerning the promotion of the use of energy produced from renewable sources, including biomass. It was found that in the EU, bioenergy is the leading source of renewable energy for heating and cooling (88% of all renewable energy sources), which is 16% of the total European final energy consumption in this sector. Therefore, considering the demand and need for the use of such a resource, the EU legislative framework contains a number of principles and visions for regulating relations in the field of production, circulation, and disposal of waste from biofuels as the main raw material for bioenergy. The fundamental principles in the EU legislation on the use of bioenergy include, firstly, the principle of sustainable production and consumption of biomass, secondly, prevention regarding the reduction of adverse consequences when using this resource, and thirdly, increasing the share of use of alternative energy sources to 75% of final energy consumption by 2050. The materials of this paper are of practical value for scientists and researchers who could conduct their research solving the problem of using bioenergy and give preference to other energy sources.

Published: August 2023

The identification and description of building typologies play a fundamental role in the understanding of the overall built-up form. A growing body of research is developing and implementing sophisticated, computer-aided protocols for the identification of building typologies. This paper shares the same goal. An innovative data-driven procedure for the unsupervised identification and description of building types and organization is here presented. After a specific pre-processing procedure, we develop an unsupervised clustering combining a new algorithm of Naive Bayes inference and hierarchical ascendant approaches relying on six morphometric features of buildings. This protocol allows us to identify groups of buildings sharing specific similar morphological characteristics and their overall structure at different aggregation levels. The proposed methodology is implemented and evaluated on the overall ordinary (e.g. not-specialized) building stock of France.

Pour cela, nous avons créé un modèle de classification permettant d’identifier les contributions traitant de la thématique du transport et proposé une méthode d’extraction de contributions traduisant les propositions des contributeurs. A l’aide des codes postaux donnés par les contributeurs, nous avons cherché à expliquer la fréquence spatiale des demandes, en lien avec leur contexte résidentiel (urbain, périurbain ou rural) et l’accessibilité des commerces et services.
Editorial
Authors: Rivoal Isabelle , Kofti Dimitra
Published: August 2023

Kinship studies are certainly a hallmark for anthropology as a discipline. Yet, it has been more than a decade since Social Anthropology / Anthropologie Sociale has published a paper on kinship (except for a review article by Giovanna Bacchiddu [2015] on two books about international adoption and the reconfiguration of the American family model). We have to go back as far as the late 2000’s to read one, when Warren Shapiro wrote a peremptory critique of Susan McKinnon's book in which the latter had strongly argued against “neo-Darwinian biological assumptions” underpinning the kinship theories developed by evolutionary psychology. The long absence of kinship from issues of this journal elicits an obvious comment: it was about time Social Anthropology / Anthropology Sociale devotes a full issue to this topic and engages with recent ethnographic theory on kinship and kinship matters. While we don't believe that it is our role as new editorial team to ponder the reasons for the omission of this topic, let us simply notice the major turn in kinship studies as a beginning for explanation. At the turn of the century, kinship as a topic has evolved from theoretical discussions about “systems” and social organization to a urge for describing and understanding new patterns of relatedness, transnational families, parenting, and adopting. Entire journals were created out of the need to explore ignored and emerging universes of relatedness and reimagine family studies. Despite the seismic shift from concerns about terminologies, ways and varieties of affiliation, and primary forms of structuring human lives to questions of care, parenting, and having kin, kinship studies have not been the hotspot of anthropological debate for years. However, they have consistently been addressed by books reviewed for this journal.
Digital Technology transforming the Nature of Commercial Contracts: An Exploration of English Law and the South African Law
Authors: Ngcetane-Vika Thelela
Published: August 2023

Digital transformation has become an interesting area of research to legal scholars who seek to study how it has impacted regulatory frameworks and in this case, laws that govern commercial contracts. Undoubtedly, digitalisation has drastically changed how business is done and by extension commercial contracts. Digital transformation has far reaching implications on commercial contracts. Thus, Legislative frameworks are needed to regulate online business which culminates into standardisation of commercial contracts, on areas like Block Chain and Artificial intelligence. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to assess how the English law and South African laws are responding, in relation to digital transformation and commercial contracts. Digital transformation (DT) can be traced back to the year 2000 when its use became prevalent as the rapid increase of the use of digital technologies has become important in societies, governments and businesses. Undoubtedly, DT has revolutionised how business and societies function. This particular investigation hinged upon qualitative research tradition, whereby a non-intrusive case study approach was followed. Pursuantly, the empirical basis for this essay included mostly primary and secondary sources such as literature review on articles, books, case laws and relevant Statutes. This paper is structured to include an analysis of key concepts as part of the theoretical framework, especially commercial contracts and digital technology. Futhermore, to assess how the South African laws are responding to digital transformation in relation commercial contracts. At the end, to conduct a comparative analysis of English law versus South African law in relation to digital transformation and commercial contracts. The paper hopes to contribute to the body of knowledge on digitalisation and commercial law.

Published: August 2023

The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of smallholder livestock farmers on brucellosis in Rungwe District, Tanzania. A cross-sectional study was conducted among cattle keepers practicing communal grazing in the district using a structured questionnaire. One hundred cattle keepers provided information about their KAP for brucellosis. Out of 100 participants, 12.8% did not know how the disease is transmitted in cattle, 20.5% stated mating, 37.2% stated placenta and 29.5% stated shared grazing area as the main transmission routes of the disease. Some respondents reported abortion (20.5%), bull infertility (25.6%) and weak calves (38.5%) as clinical signs in cattle, while 15.4% did not know the clinical signs. Drinking raw milk (23.1%), assisting delivery or handling placenta (16.7%), slaughtering infected animals (29.5%) and handling abortion cases (21.8%) were reported as means of brucellosis transmission to humans. A total of 11.5% of participants did not know the symptoms of brucellosis in humans, while 16.7%, 47.4% and 24.4% cited fever, headache and flu-like symptoms, respectively, as symptoms of brucellosis in humans. Most respondents had bad attitudes and practices toward brucellosis; for instance, 59.8% of respondents consumed unboiled milk. It is concluded that most livestock farmers in Rungwe district have poor knowledge of brucellosis, and their attitudes and practices put them and susceptible cattle on their farms at risk of contracting the disease. Education campaigns on the disease prevalence, socioeconomic effects, mode of transmission and control measures are recommended to control brucellosis in Rungwe District and the country at large.

Published: August 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of kaolin on the growth performance, haematological indices and some serum biochemical indices of broiler chickens. A total of 261 ‘Anak strain’ mix sexed of day-old chicks of broiler chickens at two weeks of age were allotted to 4 dietary treatments in a completely randomized experimental design with 6 replicates of 9 birds each. Dietary treatments at both the starter phase at 14 days old up to 28 days old age and treatment at the finisher phase at 28 days old up to 56 days old age included:0 g/kg ration, 5 g/kg ration, 10 g/kg ration and 15 g/kg ration. The results of the weekly feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio showed that weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio improved (P < 0.05) in favor of the treatment groups. In overall and daily performance of the birds, feed intake and weight gain were higher (P < 0.05) in the treatment group than in the control group. However, serum biochemical and haematological indices investigated among the treatments were not significant (P > 0.05). It was recommended that up to 5-15% kaolin can be safely included in rations for improved performance in broiler production.
Exploring the intersection of Lovecraftian monstrosity and techno-body horror in selected works of Neal Asher: an examination of (post-)humanity
Authors: Patra Indrajit
Published: August 2023

This scholarly investigation aims to meticulously examine the various mechanisms employed by British science fiction writer Neal Asher in his works, including the Transformation trilogy (2015–17), Lockdown Tales (2020), and Lockdown Tales 2 (2023), to convey the erosion of humanity following profound physiological and cognitive changes. This research highlights how Asher skillfully combines elements of Lovecraftian grotesqueness with intricate portrayals of physical horror, thereby challenging conventional categorizations. These narratives feature a diverse ensemble of human and non-human protagonists, each subjected to transformative biotechnological, computational, and psychological enhancements. These processes raise questions about the feasibility of preserving even a semblance of humanity in an overwhelmingly advanced, distinctly post-human cosmological environment. While both biotechnological and Lovecraftian modes of horror explore humanity’s insignificance within a vast, indifferent, and often malevolent universe, Asher’s body of work consistently delves into the theme of how humans can retain their inherent humanity in the face of monstrous metamorphosis. Additionally, this investigation elucidates how such transformations give rise to the emergence of the “other” within oneself and the monstrous “Other” that takes center stage in the narrative. By exploring these themes, this study contributes to the scholarly discourse on the intersection of horror, transformation, and the preservation of humanity in science fiction literature.

Data were collected via interviews, observation, and documentation. There were three stages of data analysis, i.e., organizing, summarizing, and interpreting. The study discovered that implementing Sharia and Aceh Qanun supported the role of P2TP2A and UPTD-PPA in protecting and preventing child abuse. The P2TP2A and UPTD-PPA have socialized the Qanun on child protection to the community by collaborating with educational institutions in Aceh, organizing parenting training for parents, and developing self-protection skills for children. Qanun applications on child protection prioritize humanist and Islamic principles. Child abuse in Aceh varied, including psychological and physical abuse. Internal and external factors, such as mobile phones as a technology media, parenting, economy, broken home, and lack of religious education, caused child abuse. P2TP2A and UPTD-PPA experienced problems carrying out their duties due to the community's close-mindedness and lack of trust in both institutions. Moreover, the facilities and child psychologists were still limited. However, P2TP2A and UPTD-PPA have carried out their duties effectively.

Brak przydatności przepisów ustawy z dnia 17 listopada 1964 roku Kodeks postępowania cywilnego o sądzie polubownym do postępowań przed Krajową Izbą Odwoławczą
Authors: Filipek Mariusz
Published: August 2023

Sądy polubowne zwane również arbitrażowymi funkcjonują w polskim porządku prawnym na mocy regulacji zawartej w Kodeksie postępowania cywilnego i są zasadniczo prywatnoprawnymi sądami funkcjonującymi w oparciu o wolę stron sporu. Cieszą się one coraz większym zainteresowaniem, a doceniane są w szczególności przez przedsiębiorców, którym zależy na możliwie szybkim rozwiązywaniu konfliktów, które w większym lub mniejszym stopniu paraliżują funkcjonowanie przedsiębiorstwa. Nie bez znaczenia pozostaje zatem odformalizowanie postępowania przed sądami polubownymi i możliwość wypracowania rozwiązania pozwalającego na poczucie osiągnięcia celu – zwycięstwa obu stronom sporu. Zupełnie inaczej zostało zorganizowane przez ustawodawcę postępowanie przed Krajową Izbą Odwoławczą, w kwestii sporów powstałych na gruncie prawa zamówień publicznych – pomiędzy zamawiającymi i wykonawcami, gdzie de facto rozpoznania sprawy podejmuje się także zespół arbitrów. Stopień sformalizowania postępowania, niemożność zaniechania przeprowadzenia przez KIO postępowania dowodowego w przypadku uznania zarzutu, brak sposobności zawarcia ugody, a także inne formalizmy w połączeniu z wysokimi kosztami wniesienia odwołania prowadzą do konkluzji, iż konieczne może okazać się zweryfikowanie zasadności mechanizmów przewidzianych dla postępowania przed KIO, a tym samym stworzenia mechanizmów prawnych bardziej przyjaznych dla przedsiębiorców, zbliżonych do przewidzianych na gruncie k.p.c.
