In the draft of the Republic of Serbia Civil Code the legislator regulates the matter of a gift in prospect of death in the section entitled Gift. The complexity of this institute is reflected in the dilemma - is it exclusively characterized by its contractual nature, or it contains the elements of inheritance law as well. If one of its characteristics is that the gift donor has the right to unilaterally terminate the gift agreement at any time, as much as a testator may withdraw his legacy from the will, than a gift in prospect of death undoubtedly represents a legal action which contains the elements of inheritance law. The other dilemma refers to the subjects whom a gift donor may terminate the rights from the gift agreement made in prospect of death – is it just the donee who the donor may deprive of the gift or his heirs as well in case the donor survives the donee. Having analyzed the proposed provisions regulating the issue of the gift in the prospect of death in the draft of the Republic of Serbia Civil Code, the author presents his views on issues and dilemma related to this concept, as well as to its characteristics and legal nature.

At the present stage of the process of globalization, national economies cannot remain only passive observers of its movement, but must actively participate and become an equal subject in the market game. Regardless of its own, both innate and acquired defects, the market cannot be omitted from the process of globalization. Therefore, the role of national states must concentrate on creating a favorable macroeconomic environment for intensifying the growth of the domestic economy on one, apropos, to the strengthening of its foreign positions, on the other side. In this context, national states should retain their legislative, organizational and control powers, not with the aim of eliminating the market, but vice versa, to direct it in the desired directions. National states have small, or almost no, options for their choice. Establishing a global free market is a political project in the interest of the wealthy developed capitalist countries. The main conclusion of this study should be a mandatory task, especially for the small and undeveloped economies to develop its own strategy of economic and social development. The starting premises would be: the pace of economic growth, the degree of openness of the economy, the real possibility to engage in global processes, etc., and only then, the concept for their integration into the world economy can be built. The synthesis of the economic and social component can further conceive the strategy of liberalization, that is, competitiveness. At the same time, it could be possible to work on the formation of regional integration units for better protection of the national economic interests in general, or protecting domestic enterprises in competition with the TNC, in particular. Regional integration unities, as stronger than national ones, can more successfully fight for more equal treatment at the international level. Therefore, the process of globalization that is realized by linking special societies that are organized as states (most often national ones) should not be carried out by abolition, but by state cooperation. The abolition of national states would present a basis for destroying the culture of peoples and nations, erasing their traditions, and in that context limiting the possibility of expressing the special features and integrity of their citizens. The vision of the globalized world should seek a new balance of forces and influences that will be based on an open and fruitful dialogue and full respect for the dignity of others, or in other words respecting the cultural specifics of each nation.
TROŠKOVI ODBRANE U KRIVIČNOM POSTUPKU PREMA MALOLETNICIMA – ZAKONSKA REŠENjA I PROTIVREČNOSTI U SUDSKOJ PRAKSI

Published: October 2022

Article 79, para. 1 of the Law on Juvenile Criminal Offenders and Criminal Protection of Juveniles determines that the court may oblige a youth offender to bear the costs of the criminal proceedings and fulfil a claim for restitution, only if sentence has been passed on the youth offender. If an educational measure has been imposed on the youth offender or if the proceedings have been suspended, the costs of the proceedings are funded by budgetary sources while the injured party is instructed to file a lawsuit in order to satisfy the claim for restitution, except, as is provided under para. 2 of the Article thereof, in cases when the youth offender has an income or property. The reason for this is the fact that educational measures are imposed in the form of an order, in which case the offender is not pronounced guilty. Case law in this area has been inconsistent. However, pursuant to the rulings of the Supreme Court of Cassation and its position of June 30, 2015, uniformity, including the exceptions stated above, has been achieved in the application of the legal provision under Article 79, para. 1 of the Law on Youth Offenders. At the same time, juvenile judges point out that apart from ex officio defence lawyers, who must possess a certificate confirming their specialized knowledge in the area concerning rights of the child and juvenile delinquency, and whose reimbursement is 50% lower than the regular Lawyers’ Tariff, the right to a full reimbursement of the costs in the criminal proceedings involving youth offenders is increasingly claimed by defence lawyers hired by youth offenders themselves or by their representatives through a Power of Attorney, irrespective of whether they hold a certificate or not. This situation has led to a debate on the issue of defence costs in youth offender criminal proceedings, starting from legal provisions and case law. Finally, we propose that one of the contradictions arising from the practical application of Article 79 of the Law on Juvenile Criminal Offenders and Criminal Protection of Juveniles can be overcome by supplementing the provision outlined in para. 1 of the said Article.

Authors:   M’sila University, Algeria, AMROUNE ABDELAZIZ , ZEDAM LEMNAOUAR , YETTOU MOURAD
Published: October 2022

In the present paper, we introduce the notion of (F,G)-derivation on a lattice as a generalization of the notion of (∧,∨)-derivation. This newly notion is based on two arbitrary binary operations F and G instead of the meet (∧) and the join (∨) operations. Also, we investigate properties of (F,G)-derivation on a lattice in details. Furthermore, we deﬁne and study the notion of principal (F,G)-derivations as a particular class of (F,G)-derivations. As applications, we provide two representations of a given lattice in terms of its principal (F,G)-derivations.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this paper is to introduce Stancu variant of generalized Lupaş operators whose construction depends on a continuously diﬀerentiable, increasing and unbounded function ρ. Depending on the selection of γ and δ, these operators are more ﬂexible than the generalized Lupaş operators while retaining their approximation properties. For these operators we give weighted approximation, Voronovskaya type theorem, quantitative estimates for the local approximation. Finally, we investigate the statistical approximation property of the new operators with the aid of a Korovkin type statistical approximation theorem.
TÜRKİYE’DE GÖÇMEN VE MÜLTECİ ENTEGRASYONU: POLİTİKALAR, UYGULAMALAR VE ZORLUKLAR
Authors: DANIŞ Didem , DİKMEN Hilal
Published: October 2022

Amaç: Bu makale, Türkiye’de uygulanan entegrasyon politikalarının genel bir değerlendirmesini sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Tarihsel bir değerlendirmeden sonra, Suriye’den kitlesel zorunlu göçün yaşandığı 2011 yılı sonrasında başta çalışma, eğitim, istihdam ve sağlık olmak üzere sosyal uyum için yapılan uygulamaları incelemektedir.

Yöntem: Bu çalışma ikincil kaynaklara dayanarak, Türkiye’de göçmen ve mültecilere yönelik uygulanan entegrasyon politikalarının tarihsel ve eleştirel bir perspektifle incelenmesini içermektedir. Bu amaçla hem konuyla ilgili akademik literatür taranmış, hem de kamu kurumları, çeşitli kuruluşlar ve STK’lar tarafından üretilen raporlardaki veriler kullanılarak bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.

Bulgular: Türkiye, 19. yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren tarihsel, kültürel ve coğrafi bağı olan geniş bir coğrafyadan göç almaktadır. Bu uzun göç tarihi boyunca hem gelen gruplar değişmiş, hem de uygulanan göç ve entegrasyon politikaları farklı olmuştur. 2011 yılından itibaren Suriyeli mültecilerin gelişiyle, Türkiye dünyada en fazla mülteciye ev sahipliği yapan ülke konumuna gelmiştir. Bugün resmi verilere göre, dört milyona yakın Suriyelinin ve farklı kategorilerde kayıtlı iki milyona yakın göçmen ve sığınmacının varlığı, entegrasyon ve sosyal uyum politikalarına duyulan ihtiyacı arttırmaktadır. 1980’ler ve 2010’lar arası dönemde göçmen ve mültecilere yönelik sistematik bir entegrasyon politikası yokken, son dönemde Suriyeliler için, Avrupa Birliği fonlarının da desteğiyle, “yukarıdan aşağıya” ve “çekingen entegrasyon” diyebileceğimiz bazı çabalar ortaya konmaktadır. Ancak Türkiye’nin son dönemde içinden geçtiği siyasi kutuplaşma ve ekonomik krizle beraber yükselen ayrımcılık ve ırkçılık, kabul ve entegrasyon kapasitesini azaltmaktadır. Gelişlerinin üstünden on yıl geçmişken, Türkiye toplumunda Suriyeli mültecilerin “geçici” olduğu, yani bir gün kendi ülkelerine geri dönecekleri fikri hâlâ yaygındır. Bu geçicilik ve belirsizlik algısı, sağlık ve eğitim gibi alanlarda önemli ilerlemeler kaydedilmiş olmasına rağmen, entegrasyon politikalarının etkisini zayıflatmaktadır.

Özgünlük: Bu makale, Türkiye’de göçmen ve mültecilere yönelik entegrasyon politika ve uygulamaları önce tarihsel bir perspektifle ele alıp, daha sonra, son on yılda kitlesel zorunlu göçle gelen Suriyelilerin entegrasyonuna yönelik durumu hizmet alanlarına odaklanarak değerlendirmesiyle göç çalışmaları alanına özgün bir katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
La responsabilidad subsidiaria del artículo 43.1.h) de la Ley General Tributaria: “sociedad refugio” y levantamiento del velo
Authors:   Universidad Internacional de Cataluña, De Juan Casadevall Jordi
Published: October 2022

Este trabajo estudia la formación y difusión en el Derecho comparado de la doctrina del levantamiento del velo, y su recepción y aplicación en nuestro sistema tributario doméstico. Según el autor, la doctrina del veil lifting, en cuanto aquí nos interesa, tiene su fundamento en el abuso de personalidad jurídica en fraude de acreedores, que no debe confundirse con el fraude de ley. A partir de estas premisas, analiza la responsabilidad tributaria subsidiaria del art. 43.1.h) de la Ley General Tributaria, y defiende la tesis de la innecesariedad de su regulación expresa, bien porque se solapa con otras cláusulas antiabuso, bien porque defiende su preferente aplicación judicial en base a la prohibición civil del abuso de derecho frente a la rigidez de su codificación.

Published: October 2022

Kanun koyucu, çeşitli hükümlerde pay sahibi ve alacaklılara, şirketin zararının tazminini talep etme hakkı tanımıştır. Esasında doğrudan ve yansıma zarar ayrımı da bu noktada ortaya çıkmaktadır. Zira yönetim kurulu, pay sahipleri ve alacaklılara doğrudan zarar verebileceği gibi, şirkete zarar vermek suretiyle yansıma yoluyla da zarar verebilmektedir. Bu bağlamda kanun koyucu, yansıma zararın giderilmesi noktasında açık bir hüküm ihdas etmeksizin pay sahibi ve alacaklılara dava takip yetkisi tanımak suretiyle şirketin zararının giderilmesine imkân tanımaktadır. Zira pay sahibi ve alacaklılar, maddî anlamda kendilerine ait olmayan bir hakkın takibini yürütmektedirler. Öte yandan iflâs durumunda kanunen dava takip yetkisi, iflâs idaresine geçmesine rağmen kanun koyucu, belli şartlar dâhilinde alacaklı ve pay sahibine şirketin zararının giderilmesini talep hakkı tanımıştır. Nihayetinde çalışma, yönetim kurulu üyelerinin sorumluluğunda doğrudan ve yansıma zarar ayrımının kökenini incelemekte ve bu ayrımın gerek maddî hukuk gerekse usûl ve takip hukuku yönünden sonuçlarını ele almaktadır.
Analysis of Lubricant Oil Characteristics Using the Ball Falling Relative Motion Method on Temperature Variations
Authors:   Musamus University Merauke - Indonesia, Latuheru Reinyelda D.
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this research is to analyze the viscosity/viscosity of lubricating oil using the relative motion method of falling balls at various temperatures. This research is using experimental method. Where the test is carried out using temperature variations of 320C, 500C, 600C and 800C, steel balls with varying diameters, including 9.50 mm, 8.00 mm, 6.00 mm and 4.80 mm as well as variations in the viscosity of lubricating oil, including SAE. 10, SAE 40, SAE 90 and SAE 140. Data analysis used the method of calculating the fluid resistance equation of Stokes' law and the equation of motion from Newton's second law. The Stokes law equation by taking the example of a lubricant with a viscosity of SAE 10 is obtained for a steel ball diameter of 9.50 mm to obtain a fluid resistance of 7.159.200 m/s2, a steel ball with a diameter of 8.00 mm to obtain a fluid resistance of 6.028.800 m/s2, for a steel ball with a diameter of 6.00 mm obtained a fluid resistance of 4.521.600 m/s2, for a steel ball with a diameter of 4.80 mm, a fluid resistance of 3.617.280.000 m/s2 was obtained. It can be seen that at a certain viscosity value the weight of the steel ball will affect the fluid resistance, the greater the weight of the steel ball, the greater the fluid resistance value and vice versa. The equation of Newton's second law of motion shows that the lubricating oil with SAE 10 with 3.5 gram steel ball at a temperature of 32 is 17.92 gr.mm/s2, a temperature of 500C is 2471.8 gr.mm/s2, a temperature of 600C is 25396 ,82 gr.mm/s2, temperature 800C is 28000 gr.mm/s2. For the weight of the steel ball 2.1 grams at a temperature of 320C is 7609.98 gr.mm/s2, a temperature of 600C is 5555.5 gr.mm/s2, a temperature of 800C is 13884.15 gr.mm/s2. The results of the above calculations indicate that the viscosity value will decrease or decrease with increasing temperature applied to the lubricant, thus the flowability of the lubricating oil will increase faster.

Lietuvos karinio laivyno ir Lietuvos kariuomenės karinių jūrų pajėgų kontingentai, veikla ir tradicijos: lyginamasis aspektas
Authors: Krasauskienė Rima
Published: October 2022

Straipsnio tikslas – atliekant Lietuvos karinio laivyno jūrinio kontingento pasirengimo lygio, veiklos ir tradicijų analizę, lyginimą su to meto kaimyninių šalių ir šiandieninio laivyno karių parengimu, nustatyti, kokia buvo ir yra šio kontingento kokybė ir tarnybos motyvacija.
Tarpukario Lietuvos laivyno kario kokybinio vertinimo problematika pirmiausia yra susijusi su jūrininko visuomeninio statuso sampratos genezės analize. Todėl straipsnyje nagrinėjamą problematiką galima apibūdinti keliais aspektais keliant šiuos klausimus: kokia buvo jūrų karininko kaip lyderio ir jaunų karių mokytojo samprata tarpukario Lietuvoje, kokią įtaką tai turėjo tarnybai ir sprendimų priėmimui, kaip atsispindėjo viešojoje erdvėje? Kokios buvo jo mokymosi galimybės, palyginti su kaimyninių valstybių karininkų galimybėmis? Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos karių dalykinės (profesinės) ir moralinės (vertybinės, dorovinės) kompetencijos, gilinamasi į laivyno užduotis ir galimų priešų spektrą, analizuojamos jūrinės tradicijos, kurios buvo vienos svarbiausių karius motyvuojančių veiksnių, verčiančių didžiuotis savo profesija visuomenėje.
Straipsnio chronologinės ribos apima du laikotarpius. Pirmasis laikotarpis – nuo nepriklausomos Lietuvos kariuomenės sukūrimo, kai kilo poreikis turėti tinkamai parengtų jūrinių specialybių specialistų ir patiems juos rengti, iki 1940 m. birželio mėn., kai buvo įvykdyta sovietinė okupacija, o Lietuvos karinis laivynas likviduotas ir atiteko Sovietų Sąjungai. Antrasis laikotarpis apima Lietuvos karinio laivyno kūrimo pradžią nuo 1992 m. liepos 4 d. (kai Aukščiausioji Taryba-Atkuriamasis Seimas Pakrančių apsaugos rinktinei ir Atskirojo laivų diviziono laivams iškilmingai įteikė naujo pavyzdžio karo laivų vėliavas) iki mūsų dienų.

The dependent variable for financial performance is Return on Asset (ROA), while independent variables was cash flow management decomposed into Operating Cash Flow Margin (OCFM), Operating Cash Flow Ratio (OCFR), Investing Cash Flow Ratio (ICFR), Financing Cash Flow Ratio (FCFR) and Net Cash Flow Ratio (NCFR). The descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analyses. Results showed that OCFM, OCFR, ICFR and NCFR had positive and significant influence on Financial Performance (ROA) and FCFR had a negative and insignificant influence on financial performance (ROA) of selected listed companies in Nigeria. It was recommended that managers of entities and policy makers, financial consultants and regulatory agencies avail themselves of the core variables of cash flow management used in this study to understand their nexus and to improve in their statutory functions to enhance long-term sustainability of entities.
REDUCING GUN CRIMES: ACTIONABLE POLICIES FOR POLICE ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Jiao Allan Y.
Published: October 2022

Over ninety-nine percent of gun-related homicides in the U.S. involved a routinely occurring gun incident. More resources should be dedicated to addressing gun crimes by police organizations, especially those at the local level. Local police bear the brunt of most gun crimes and bulk of their investigations; a strong need thus exists for understanding related policy recommendations. Various policies and recommendations against gun crimes have been put forward resulting from related studies and evaluations. What they are and whether or how they should be adopted are not always clearly understood, however. This article provides a review of various gun-crime policies and programs to provide both a conceptual understanding of different approaches to gun crimes and specific choices of actionable gun crime policies. The results include a categorization of policy recommendations and a discussion of whether particular or more types of policies should be pursued and conditions under which these recommendations can be implemented successfully.

HAS SERBIA REACHED THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION OF EU COUNTRIES? MULTI-CRITERIA EVALUATION
Authors:   Innovation Centre of the University of Niš, University of Niš, Niš, Republic of Serbia, Markovic Milan
Published: October 2022

The aim of the paper is to analyse the position of the Republic of Serbia in relation to the performance of education in the countries of the European Union (EU), which was evaluated based on a multi-criteria analysis. For that purpose, the following criteria from the Eurostat database were used: Tertiary educational attainment (age group 25-34), Participation in early childhood education, Adult participation in learning, Share of individuals having at least basic digital skills and Early leavers from education and training. In the ranking of countries, the Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was applied, while the weighting coefficients were calculated using the equal weighting method. Research shows that Serbia lags far behind EU countries in terms of the quality of education, so educational policy makers must improve that quality in the coming period, especially when it comes to the indicator – Participation in early childhood education. In addition, the hypothesis that highly developed countries (based on GDP per capita) have higher values of the composite index of education was confirmed. The best results are achieved by the countries of Northern Europe, so in improving the level of education, the practice of these countries must be followed and adopted by policy makers.

This paper aims to provide conceptual and empirical literature on green human resource practices and environmental performance of firms. The paper adopted conceptual and theoretical approaches to achieving its objective. This was done by critically reviewing extant literature on green human resource practices and environmental performance of firms. Based on the review of extant literature, it was observed that green human resource practices stimulate the environmentally sustainable performance of firms. The paper identified research gaps for future studies based on the methodological gaps of extant studies identified. It is recommended that the link between green human resource practices such as green recruitment and selection, green performance appraisal, green compensation and benefits, and green training and development and the environmentally sustainable performance of oil firms in Nigeria should be further explore.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this paper is to explore the way scholars have approached the role of concepts like ‘risks and vulnerabilities’ within the framework of environment sustainable management. We developed this bibliometric exploration on a period of 10 years including papers indexed in Scopus database and used the specialized VOSviewer software. A strong argument for the importance of this investigation is that the concept of risks associated to the environment sustainable management is frequently encountered in research papers but the concept of vulnerabilities approached in the same context has not been the focus of too many studies yet. Considering the basic premises that in any domain, organization, or system, vulnerabilities represent the sources of potential risks thus we should have the capacity to timely identify these and prevent them from becoming real risks. The analyses developed through VOSviewer software reveal several types of conclusions. Findings show that there is a strong interest for publishing papers on subjects like “environment risks”, “risk analysis” or “environment sustainability” but very low ratings of papers dealing with “vulnerabilities” in this area which results in a knowledge gap for the field. We shall present in detail the journals’ clusters and their focus in the area of environment sustainable management. A major contribution of this paper comes from revealing this knowledge gap in the scientific literature between the concepts of risks and vulnerabilities in the field of environment sustainable management. Another useful contribution might be considered the detailed journals’ cluster analysis revealing the most popular topics and their networks. Also, an important outcome is the chronological evolution of publications on the key concepts thus depicting the scholarly trend.

The paper explored the influence of Microfinance Banks (MBs) on Economic Development (ED) in Nigeria. It was embarked upon against the background that as statutory function, loans should be provided by MBs to spur developmental purposes that will improve long run living standard. Microfinance annual data stream sourced from the country’s Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical report and World Bank national accounts data spanning 1992 to 2020 were analysed with Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) ECM Model. Following detailed time series estimation, findings reveal that MBs, investment, assets, savings and aggregate credit (loans) significantly influence Nigerian ED during the studied period. Thus, this study concludes that MBs operations in Nigeria is a salient financial inclusion catalyst that significantly spur economic development in Nigeria during the sample studied.

Published: October 2022

Fruit bats have a high seed dispersal capacity contributing to the establishment of numerous plant species. In this work we examined the frugivorous diet of phyllostomid bats in the Cavernas do Peruaçu National Park, north of Minas Gerais, Brazil, an ecotone region of Caatinga and Cerrado biomes. Four expeditions were carried out between December 2008 and November 2009, totalling 80 nights of sampling, to collect data and feces from captured bats. The highest number of fecal samples were provided by Artibeus planirostris and Carollia perspicillata. Four plant families were registered, the largest number for Cecropiaceae, followed by Solanaceae; Piperaceae, and Moraceae.
