Working from Home: Impact on Wellbeing and Work-Life Balance
Authors: Gorjifard Roya , Crawford Joanne
Published: December 2021

Working from home (WFH), teleworking, or telecommuting has become a new work norm since the Covid-19 pandemic. Many organisations are showing an interest in testing a hybrid work style when the pandemic is over; a mix of WFH with office-based work has the potential to improve work-life balance (WLB). Organisations across the globe quickly adopted WFH to maintain their business continuity during the pandemic. However, it co-concurred with particular occupational health and safety (OHS) concerns. Our research review shows that the frequency of WFH is significantly related to its impact on WLB. Women, specifically, are more likely to find it challenging to maintain balance between office work and domestic responsibilities. Additionally, WFH leads to personal costs for many, for example, maintaining a suitable workstation setup at home. The continuous demand for up-skilling/re-skilling due to fast improving technology and job satisfaction is another example of the risk to workers’ wellbeing.

This research paper reviews the most important risk determinants of WLB due to WFH. We discuss that workplaces should align their strategies in the longer term to support employees’ wellbeing risk management. Employers, employees – women particularly – should use this rapid change as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Exploring factors contributing to young workers’ vulnerability to work-related harm
Authors: Manglicmot Manfred , Cotton Olivia , Chen Sonia , Crawford Joanne
Published: December 2021

New Zealand has experienced significant increases in youth employment rates in the last 20 years with 40 per cent of people employed part-time. This age group has been associated with the second-highest rate of injury claims.  At the current time, there is limited information on why young workers in New Zealand are more vulnerable to work-related harm.  This project aimed to explore this with a convenience sample of young workers using an online survey.  Participants represented a diverse ethnic population but the sample was predominately female.  In total, 32.7 per cent of respondents had received no occupational health and safety (OHS) training when starting work. Fifty-seven per cent of the sample thought that OHS was valued by their employer.  Interestingly, 63 per cent of the sample said they would be confident about speaking up about an OHS issue with most being willing to speak to their manager.  In relation to stress, the analysis identified that there was an association between feeling stressed and being unable to follow OHS protocols (p=0.05).  While this was a small exploratory study, suggestions made to improve OHS include clear and open communication between workers and employers, improved access to OHS resources and continuous and in-depth training.
Legal status of cryptocurrency in Asian countries
Authors: Logoida V.M.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of legal regulation of the legal status of cryptocurrencies and transactions with them in Asian countries (except for the People's Republic of China and Asian countries - members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, as the author examined them in separate publications). In the article the author, based on the study of regulations, administrative and judicial practice of all major countries in this part of the world, emphasizes the divergent trends in cryptocurrency transactions regulation in the region, when some countries move from a liberal approach to the use of cryptocurrencies to their total ban and vice versa. It is noted that almost all countries in the region give a legal assessment of the payment function of cryptocurrencies, using regulatory or prohibitive approaches, depending on the chosen policy, which indirectly confirms their understanding of the legal nature of cryptocurrencies primarily as a means of payment. At the same time, these countries not only categorically distinguish cryptocurrencies from fiat money issued by central banks, but also mostly avoid the official definition of cryptocurrency as private (decentralized) cash, preferring to qualify them as an intangible asset, virtual asset, digital asset, financial value and even a good or service, which is currently a kind of compromise between political expediency and economic realities. The author also notes that the Asian region is characterized by very active attempts to resolve the legal status of cryptocurrencies at the legislative level, and not just administrative or judicial response to the actual legal relationship, although the progress of different countries in this matter is different.

As a result, the author concludes that in the Asian countries considered in the article, there is no same view on the legal nature of cryptocurrency, its qualification as an object of civil rights, and ways to regulate transactions with it (libertarian approach, positive-cryptocurrency approach but with detailed government regulation and control or a completely restrictive policy in relation to the cryptocurrency market).
Prospects for protection and protection of the rights of investors in residential real estate: judicial and extrajudicial means
Authors: Tripulsky G. Ya.
Published: December 2021

The main concepts of the mechanism of regulation of guarantees of protection of the rights of investors of residential real estate were considered in the article. The current state of legal regulation of investors' rights is analyzed and it is established that the existing legal definitions create a «blurred» legal field, which is the basis for abuse in this area. The existing opinion in the scientific literature on the existence of general and special legislation in the field of regulation of the rights of investors in residential real estate is supported. It is established that the draft Law of Ukraine «On guaranteeing property rights to real estate to be built in the future» belongs to the special legislation and, subject to its adoption, will be the main source that structures the «blurred» and broad legislative field presented in special legislation only by the Laws of Ukraine «On investment activity» and «On state registration of real rights to immovable property and their encumbrances». The analysis of foreign investment and other features of investment is left out of this scientific article, as the aim was to study the existing and future guarantees of residential real estate investors' rights under the draft Law of Ukraine «On guaranteeing real rights to real estate to be constructed in the future». Some novelties of the bill are analyzed, in particular the form of the transaction concerning the future real estate object, its essential conditions and it is established that the bill strengthens guarantees of the rights of investors of residential real estate, that introduces the obligatory form of such contracts - purchase, sale. The novelties of such an agreement, in particular, will be mandatory information on the legal grounds for the acquisition of ownership by the developer of land ownership; guaranteeing the first sale of the future real estate, guaranteeing the absence of third party rights to the future real estate. Taking into account the provisions of general legislation, in particular, the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine on contracts, it is established that the contract is concluded only after the parties agree on all material terms, so consolidating these novelties as essential terms of the contract will prevent double sale of future object real estate.
Imposing criminal liability on juveniles: problem issues and ways to address them
Authors: Kravchuk S.
Published: December 2021

The article highlights the issues of how to impose criminal liability on juveniles. Based on the analysis of consistency between the effective Criminal Code of Ukraine and the international standards of juvenile rights protection, the author has outlined the ways of how to improve the existing legal standards of such imposing. More specifically, the grounds for punishment mitigation have been determined depending on the gravity of offence.

The punishment should be consistent with the offence committed. And the best way to match the punishment and the offence is when the punishment derives from the offence itself, from its nature. A fine will be a good enough response, because it makes the committed offence kind of unprofitable for the convicted individual.

One of the punishments that the Criminal Code of Ukraine anticipates for juveniles is a fine. However, Article 99 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine mentions no minimum fine amount allowed for juveniles. As these specific standards are absent, juveniles should be subject to the general standards available, i.e. the minimum fine amount is equal for both juveniles and adults. It would be reasonable to decrease the minimum fine amount for juveniles in the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The author believes that the only guarantee for this fine to be paid can be the standalone property owned by the convicted individual, which could be foreclosed.

An important type of punishment for juveniles is correction works. However, no specific conditions of its imposing on juveniles exist. One of the major ways to influence the individual convicted to correction works is labor and disciplinary impact of the labor collective (employees), which is but unfeasible today. In fact, no legal pattern exists to ensure that the employees will fulfill their obligations to rehabilitate the convicted individuals.

Yet another type of punishment that Article 98 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine anticipates for juveniles is arrest.

That arrest is considered a milder type of punishment in the punishment list than restraint can be deemed a disadvantage of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, 2001. At the same time, it is proposed to impose the so-called “youth arrest” on the juveniles of fourteen and on older ones, i.e. the service of punishment on days-off or holidays.

The analysis of the system of punishments imposed on juveniles for the committed offences, which has been made in this article, shows that this system not always makes it possible to select the punishment consistent with the action committed. That is why the author has proposed to add new types of punishment to the already existing statutory system of punishments, such as obligating a juvenile to recover the caused damage or to execute certain works in favor of the affected party to compensate it for the damage caused; depriving a juvenile of the right to be engaged in certain activities; sending a juvenile to a special custodial rehabilitation center.
International legal regulation of transnational cybercrime in cyberspace
Authors: Popko V.V. , Popko E.V.
Published: December 2021

The article considers the international legal regulation of combating cybercrime, which is considered as a transnational phenomenon. In the group of transnational crimes, along with drug trafficking, terrorist acts, money laundering, illegal import of migrants, human trafficking, firearms trafficking, counterfeiting, etc., cybercrimes play an important role in terms of public harm, unprecedented and rapid growth. The mechanisms and directions of the fight against cybercrime developed by international criminal law are studied, among which the international legal regulation is of fundamental importance, and difficulties in defining the concepts of "cybercrime" and "computer crimes" are noted. The classification of types of cybercrimes is given and their most characteristic features are revealed.

The author analyzes the international normative documents that form the legal basis for regulating relations in the field of international cybercrime, among which the most prominent are conventions, including the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime of November 15, 2000, the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime of November 23, 2001 and Additional Protocol to it of January 28, 2003. The obligations of states to criminalize cybercrime in national legislation are analyzed, the types of illegal actions related to cybercrime are considered, in particular the main four groups of crimes classified in the 2001 Cybercrime Convention by Gender object and on specific grounds of the object of encroachment: 1) crimes against confidentiality, integrity and availability of computer data and systems; 2) offenses related to the use of computer tools; 3) offenses related to the content of data; 4) offenses related to infringement of copyright and compatible rights, as well as additional types of liability and sanctions (attempt, complicity). The Protocol to the 2003 Cybercrime Convention expands this range of crimes and contains obligations to criminalize the following acts: distribution of racist and xenophobic material through computer systems. The limitation of the 2001 Convention on Cybercrime, adopted by the Council of Europe, and the need to adopt a universal instrument that would significantly increase the fight against cybercrime are noted.

Ritualidad y representación antropomorfa en el Japón Neolítico -sobre las figuras dogū del período Jōmon-
Authors: Abad de los Santos Rafael
Published: December 2021

Resumen: Este artículo tiene como objetivo ofrecer al lector un análisis de las figuras antropomorfas conocidas como dogū, que fueron elaboradas durante el período Jōmon de la prehistoria japonesa. Para ello, en primer lugar, será necesario esclarecer sus orígenes y evolución a partir del conocimiento arqueológico acumulado hasta la actualidad, que pondrá de relieve un proceso gradual de complejización tipológica, desde formas primarías hasta un intento de trascender la representación del cuerpo humano. Al mismo tiempo, también se deberá prestar atención a su diversidad sincrónica, marcada por diferentes tipos con una mayor o menor presencia en el marco espacial del archipiélago. Esta labor permitirá no sólo delimitar las diferentes etapas protagonizadas por estas figuras, sino también esclarecer su posible significado y uso. Ello nos conducirá finalmente a un replanteamiento sobre la propia existencia de los dogū como categoría arqueológica.

Authors: An Xuemei , Yang Rui , Alghazzawi Daniyal M. , Joseph Nympha Rita
Published: December 2021

The paper proposes a data model analysis algorithm for human motion function based on short-term behaviour. The algorithm uses a functional data analysis (FDA) method to perform Fourier fitting on the motion data and extract the fitted approximate single period data. Finally, the algorithm depicts the internal change in the motion in the low-dimensional space. The study found that the characteristic motion data obtained by the algorithm has smooth characteristics, and the relevant case analysis also verifies the algorithm's effectiveness.

Biodiversity of freshwater macroinvertebrates on Gökçeada Island (North Aegean Sea, Turkey)
Authors: Odabaşı Serpil
Published: December 2021

Island ecosystems have attracted the attention of scientists since the early days of science because of their formation and biodiversity. Despite their abundant freshwater resources, data on freshwater diversity of Gökçeada are incomplete, especially for macroinvertebrates. This study was conducted in a wide range of freshwater ecosystems on Gökçeada between May 2016 and September 2018. Sampling of macroinvertebrates was performed using a hand net from 34 pre-selected sampling sites on the island. A total of 78 aquatic macroinvertebrate taxa were found, 46 of which are new records for the island. The most common species during the study were Gammarus komareki and Bythinella gokceadaensis with a frequency of 25.93%, followed by Tubifex tubifex, Gammarus sp. and Caenis sp. with a frequency of 22.22%. Endemic and invasive species on the island were assessed according to their presence and frequency values. Based on the results of the current study and previous data, it can be concluded that Gökçeada is characterized by a remarkable species diversity compared to aquatic macroinvertebrates on other Aegean islands.
Otolith phenotypic analysis for the endemic Anatolian fish species, Caucasian bleak Alburnus escherichii Steindachner, 1897 (Teleostei, Leuciscidae), from Selevir Reservoir, Akarçay Basin, Turkey
Authors: Ozpicak Melek , Saygin Semra , Yilmaz Savas , Polat Nazmi
Published: December 2021

Otolith phenotypic variability was analyzed in the Caucasian bleak (Alburnus escherichii) from the Selevir Reservoir in Turkey. Utricular (lapillus) and lagenar (asteriscus) otoliths were removed, while distinguishing between left and right otoliths. All otoliths were photographed on the distal (for asterisci) and dorsal surface (for lapilli) using a Leica DF295 digital camera. Otolith morphometrics were measured to the nearest 0.001 mm using Leica Imaging Software. Linear and nonlinear (power) models were applied to determine the relationships between otolith measurements and total length of fish individuals. Two length classes (Class I: 6.7–10.9 cm Lt
; Class II: 11.0–15.0 cm Lt
) were established to analyze the shape of otoliths. The Form Factor, Circularity, Roundness, Rectangularity, Aspect Ratio and Ellipticity were used to analyze the shape of otoliths. A standardized model was used to remove the effect of size on otolith measurements. Multivariate analysis was performed to detect differences in otolith shape variation. The results of discriminant function analysis showed that 79.9% of A. escherichii specimens were correctly classified by length classes. In this study, intraspecific variation of asteriscus and lapillus otoliths in A. escherichii is reported for the first time. The results of this study provide the first comprehensive data on otolith shape analysis and the relationship between otolith morphometrics and total length in the Caucasian bleak.
PITFALLS OF PROFESSIONAL WRITING – THE MOST COMMON
MISTAKES IN WRITING FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES
Authors: ENACHE Antonia , MILITARU Marina , DIMA Viorela-Valentina
Published: December 2021

The present research looks into the most common inadvertencies that occur in professional
writing – more specifically, in writing for business purposes. Against the background of the
labour market requirements for professionals equipped with sound writing skills –
perceived as ‘deal makers or breakers’ – the paper presents the results of a qualitative
analysis of business written assignments of students from an English-taught Business
Administration programme organised by the Bucharest University of Economic Studies,
Romania. The analysis reveals that, despite students being highly proficient users of the
target language, they nonetheless stumble upon challenges that pertain not to accuracy and
correctness, but to extraneous factors such as appropriateness, flexibility, conciseness,
relevance and deference. In the following, we shall attempt to shed light on these
inadvertencies and highlight the aspects to be taken into account when writing in a
business context.
Quantifying Suicidal Ideation on Social Media using Machine Learning: A Critical Review
Authors: Rabani Syed Tanzeel , Khan Qamar Rayees , Khanday Akib Mohi Ud Din
Published: December 2021

Suicidal ideation is one of the severe mental health issues and a serious social problem faced by our society. This problem has been usually dealt with through the psychological point of view, using clinical face to face settings. There are various risk factors associated with suicides, including social isolation, anxiety, depression, etc., that decrease the threshold for suicide. The COVID-19 pandemic further increases social isolation, posing a great threat to the human population. Posting suicidal thoughts on social media is gaining much attention due to the social stigma associated with the mental health. Online Social Networks (OSN) are increasingly used to express the suicidal thoughts. Recently, a top Indian actor industry took the harsh step of suicide. The last Instagram posts revealed signs of depression, which if anticipated could have saved the precious life. Recent research indicated that the public information on social media provides valuable insights on detecting the users with the suicidal ideation. The motive of this study is to provide a systematic review of the work done already in the use of social media for suicide prevention and propose a novel classification approach that classifies the suicide related tweets/ posts into three levels of distress. Moreover, our proposed classification task which was implemented through various machine learning techniques revealed high accuracy in classifying the suicidal posts. Among all algorithms, the best performing algorithm was that of the decision tree, with an F1 score ranging 0.95-0.97. After thoroughly studying the work achieved by different researchers in the area of suicide prevention, our study critically analyses those works and finds various research gaps and solves some of them. We believe that our work will motivate research community to look into other gaps that will in turn help psychiatrists, psychologists, and counsellors to protect individuals suffering from suicidal ideation.
Mash-up, Smash-up: Mixing Genres and Mediums to Rewrite History in Do Not Say We Have Nothing
Authors: Gardner Carli
Published: December 2021

In Madeleine Thien’s novel Do Not Say We Have Nothing, a historical photograph of three protestors at Tiananmen Square is directly inserted into the fictional text. The goal of my research is to start a scholarly conversation on this work by exploring the relationship between the historical image and the fictional text to establish Thien’s novel as postmodern. Drawing on postmodernist theories, this paper applies the works of prominent thinkers in the field to ask how the collision of genres and mediums (history and fiction; image and text), in Do Not Say We Have Nothing renders the novel postmodern. The first aim of this paper is to demonstrate the reciprocal relationship between text and image. The relationship is reciprocal because while the photograph certifies and undermines the story, the story also certifies and undermines the photograph. After establishing the multiple functions of the relationship between text and image, this paper explores how the collision of genres elicits multiple interpretations of the novel and the historical events it details. To understand how multiple interpretations of history destabilize historical metanarratives, this paper will finally investigate how the novel gives a voice to those omitted from history. By acknowledging Thien’s novel as postmodern, this paper analyzes the important role of fiction in representing those whose experiences are effaced by historical metanarratives. My postmodernist interpretation of Do Not Say We Have Nothing will provide new ways of reading and interpreting the novel and situating it within the canon of Canadian Literature.

Published: December 2021

Retreating glaciers, changing timber line and decreasing accumulation of snow in the Himalaya are considered the indicators of climate change. In this study, an attempt is made to observe the snow cover change in the higher reaches of the Central Himalayas. Investigation of climate change through snow cover is very important to understand the impact and adaptation in an area. Landsat thematic and multi spectral optical data with a spatial resolution of 60m and 30m are considered for the estimation and extraction of snow cover. Total 3,369 Km2 snow cover area is lost since 1972 out of total geographical area i.e. 17,227 Km2. The accumulation of snow during winter is lower than the melting rate during summer. The current study identified the decrease of 19.6 % snow cover in 47 years since 1972 to 2019. Composite satellite imageries of September to December show that the major part of the study area covered with snow lies above 3600m. Overall observation indicates that in 47 years, permanent snow cover is decreasing in Central Himalayas.

Some vital industries in Cilacap Regency such as PT Pertamina (Persero) Refinery Unit IV Cilacap, PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk Cilacap Factory, PT Dharmapala Usaha Sukses Cilacap and PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang Fertilizer Empowerment Unit Cilacap are located close to the southern coast of Java that has the potential to be exposed to the tsunami. If the industrial company is affected by the tsunami, it can create a cascading effect and can have a direct impact on the surrounding community. The cascading effects are technological failure, explosion, fire, the release of hazardous substances to the spread of chemicals that can endanger the environment and society. The purpose of this study is to analyze the preparedness of the communities surrounding the industrial companies in facing the tsunami threat and its subsequent dangers. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method by using a case study approach by conducting interviews with key informants related to the field of prevention, preparedness and work safety in each company and officials of the Local Government of Cilacap Regency. Data collection was also carried out using a questionnaire method filled out by people around the industrial companies. The results showed that the average value of the preparedness index of the community around industrial companies in Cilacap was 71.70 which was included in the “Ready” category.
Effect of damage limit states on the seismic fragility of reinforced concrete frame-shear wall buildings
Authors: Mibang Durga , Choudhury Satyabrata
Published: December 2021

Assessment of the seismic vulnerability of frame-shear wall buildings can be performed by non-linear dynamic analysis and it needs detailed analytical modeling, structural performance measures and various earthquake intensities. The codal based design method can hardly be used for designing buildings of pre-defined target objectives whereas the Unified performance-based design (UPBD) method can be designed for buildings of pre-defined target objectives. In the current study, the UPBD method for frame-shear wall buildings has been applied for different performance levels (PL) i.e. Immediate occupancy (IO), Life safety (LS) and Collapse prevention (CP) with 1%, 2% and 3% drift in both the directions of the buildings. The nonlinear dynamic analysis of the reinforced concrete (RC) frame-shear wall buildings is performed considering spectrum compatible ground motions (SCGM) as per EC-8 demand spectrum at 0.45g level and type B soil condition. Vulnerability assessment of the frame-shear wall buildings is conducted by generating fragility curves and the probability failure of structure is checked based on different configurations and damage limit states of the structure. Finally, the outcome of the work gives a proper idea of the nonlinear behavior of the dual system so that optimum design could be acquired for achieving higher safety aspects.

Исторический памятник Гафелегхатар открыт в 2018 г. во время археологических изысканий в провинции Ардабиль, расположенной на северо-западе Ирана. В общей сложности в указанном регионе зафиксировано 50 наскальных рисунков с изображением фигур козла, оленя и человека. Единичные и многофигурные изображения процарапаны или выбиты на блоках магнетита. На большинстве изученных камней изображены фигуры козла, сопоставимые с наскальными рисунками из Ирана и Азербайджана. Петроглифы отражают кочевой образ жизни охотников и собирателей, оставивших на камнях свои рисунки. Возраст этих изображений не установлен, поэтому для них не может быть пока предложена надежная датировка и четкая хронология.

The historical site of the Ghafeleghatar was discovered in 2018 during archaeological survey in the Ardabil province in the northwest of Iran. Totally 50 images including goat, deer, and human figures have been identified and documented in this area. These motifs are represented individually and in compositions placed on black magnetite stones by scratching and striking technique. Most of the images show goat, which is comparable to many specimen from Iran and Azerbaijan. The images illustrate the nomadic and hunting-gathering nature of the designers of these works. The periods of formation of the images are unclear, so that no reliable dating and clear chronology can be suggested based on comparative studies.
INTERPRETATION OF A GROUP OF TERRACOTTA FIGURINES FROM ANCIENT GREEK SANCTUARIES OF THE CRIMEAN PRYAZOVIA
Authors: Кузина Н. В.
Published: December 2021

В статье рассматривается группа терракотовых статуэток с изображениями мальчиков, происходящая из раскопок сельских святилищ Крымского Приазовья. Сюжеты с детьми широко представлены в боспорской коропластике II-I вв. до н. э. и долгое время считались бытовыми. Однако обстоятельства находок и анализ иконографии позволяют проследить сакральный смысл этих статуэток. В контексте ритуальной практики святилищ фигурки детей с сопутствующими атрибутами (птица, собака, лошадь, щит) могут быть интерпретированы как воплощение полисемантического образа божественного ребенка, символизирующего плодородное жизненное начало, потенциальную жизнь, обновление, возрождение, заключающего в себе характеристики лиминального существа, помещаемого в сакральном пространстве на границе земного и потустороннего миров, наделенного функциями медиатора, связующего космические зоны.

The paper reports on a group of terracotta figurines featuring boys that comes from excavations of rural sanctuaries in the Crimean Priazovia. Narrative scenes with children are widely represented in Bosporan coroplast of the 2 - 1 cc. BC, for a long time they were considered items for household use. However, circumstances of the finds and analysis of iconography suggest sacral meaning of these figurines. In the context of the sanctuary practice, the children figurines with accompanying attributes (a bird, a dog, a horse, a shield) can be interpreted as incarnation of a polysemantic image of a divine child as a symbol of a fertile start of life, potential life, renewal, rebirth that includes characteristics of a liminal creature placed in sacral space on the borderline between the human world and another world with functions of a mediator linking cosmic zones.
