Application of the institution of the accused associate as a factor in inciting youth to organized crime
Authors: Milenović Hadži
Published: March 2024

In this paper, the legal institution of judicial and prosecutorial practice an accused accomplice as a potential factor in inciting young individuals to organized crime. In organized crime, law enforcement agencies instead of individuals deal with a well-structured organization with a solid internal hierarchy, discipline, high level of conspiracy, elaborated strategy, and tactics of concealing criminal activities and evading criminal responsibility. A legal establishment known as "accused accomplice" has been established into Serbian judicial and prosecution system in an effort to identify members of criminal organizations, their associates, and organizers. It's possible that at some point, given the advantages promised to alleged accomplices, youth involvement in organized crime would be encouraged. The research's goal is to determine how students perceive the accused accomplice legal institution as a possible inducement for young people to join organized crime. It is assumed that teenage involvement in organized crime may be encouraged by the rewards promised to members of these organizations for cooperation with the law enforcement. A study was carried out in March 2023 on a sample of 96 high school students, as described in this report, to ascertain this. All research hypotheses were supported by the data obtained using the Scaler - LIJPP - AA - PFIIYTOC (a = .762) and examined using descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and analysis of variance. The importance of the analyzed legal institution in the struggle against corruption, terrorism, and organized crime cannot be denied. As a result, it is widespread throughout the world. On the other hand, if there are findings indicating the researched legal institution has a negative impact on the upbringing of children and youth, the question of whether there is room for its existence emerges. By reassessing or implementing the accused accomplice legal institution in a way that won't adversely effect children's and youths' upbringing, a compromise solution must be sought.
State of emergency in the Republika Srpska: Implementation consequences
Authors: Hadži Stević
Published: March 2024

Due to the extraordinary circumstances caused by the covid-19 virus, numerous states adopted different measures in order to mitigate the consequences of the epidemic, and many of them represented a restriction of human rights and freedoms. This paper is devoted to the analysis of (legal) consequences caused by epidemic measures in the Republika Srpska adopted during the state of emergency. In particular, the legal and sub-legal provisions regulating the actions of authorities in extraordinary circumstances are analyzed, as well as the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Republika Srpska. The aim of the paper is to show that the by-laws, enacted during the state of emergency, were largely in conflict with constitutional and statutory provisions, and it is particularly striking that numerous measures were enacted by non-competent authorities. Although it is an unquestionable obligation of the state to react in a state of emergency, that reaction must be in accordance with the principles of constitutionality and legality, since extraordinary circumstances cannot be an excuse for violating the fundamental values of the legal order. From that point of view, the decisions of the authorities of the Republika Srpska during the state of emergency caused by the covid-19 virus are paradigmatic, but as an anti-model.
European Court of Human Rights, Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and recognition of same-sex marriages concluded abroad
Authors: Đundić Petar
Published: March 2024

The requirements put before the courts by sources that regulate human rights significantly affect functioning of the mechanism of Private International Law. This statement particularly applies to situations in which it is necessary to give effect to the change of personal and family status acquired abroad. The paper refers to the problem of recognition of same-sex marriages concluded abroad. It analyzes the most important decisions of the European Court of Human Rights regarding the obligation of the member states of the Council of Europe to provide legal protection and recognition to same-sex unions, in accordance with Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (protection of private and family life). The analysis shows that today it is undoubtedly clear that these states have a positive obligation to establish an adequate legal framework that would allow partners in a same-sex union to enjoy certain subjective rights. The obligation in question also extends to same-sex marriages concluded abroad and, when it comes to Serbia, requires immediate legislative intervention.

A brief review of sources on emendatio morae in the Digest of Justinian
Authors: Kulauzov Maša , Milutin Milan
Published: March 2024

Purgatio or emendatio morae would in the literal translation into English mean purging the default. In Roman classical law, it amounted to the possibility of the debtor in default, firstly, to fulfil the primary obligation and, secondly, to remediate potential legal effects of the consequences of mora debitoris. There were other ways of purging the default as well. As a consequence of emendatio morae, debtor's obligations, both primary and secondary ones, would cease to exist and the consequences of mora debitoris would cease to produce legal effects. Therefore, purgatio morae consisted of two elements: debtor's offer to completely fulfil the prestation owed as well as his offer to remediate the legal effects of the consequences of the default.

الهـوية الإيمـانيـة في فكـر الشهيد القائد السيد حسين بدرالدين الحوثي (الدلالات والأبعاد)
Authors: الرازحي عبدالله حسن محمد
Published: March 2024

أوضح الشهيد القائد أن الهوية الإيمانية هي هوية أصيلة لدى الإنسان المسلم، مصدرها هو الإسلام والقرآن الكريم الذي شرف الله به الأمة، وهي هوية مرتبطة بالإيمان العملي الذي ورد في كثير من آيات الله في كتابه ومثله أنبياء الله ورسله، وأن الإيمان بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله له دلالات وأبعاد اعتقادية وعملية، وقد تميز أهل اليمن بهوية إيمانية خاصة دل عليها حديث النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم " الإيمان يمان" وقوله أيضا: " إني لأجد نفس الرحمن من اليمن"؛ والسر في تميز أهل اليمن في إيمانهم هو ارتباطهم بأهل البيت عليهم السلام ومناصرتهم لهم وعلاقتهم الوثيقة بهم، وقد بذل الشهيد القائد السيد حسين بدرالدين الحوثي جهودا كبيرة في تأصيل وتثبيت الهوية الإيمانية من خلال جهوده في الجانب التوعوي والثقافي والعلمي ومواقفه المختلفة في سبيل ذلك، وقد أكد الشهيد القائد أن الأعداء يسعون بكل ما أمكنهم من أساليب ووسائل ومواقف لإبعاد الأمة الإسلامية عن هويتها الحقيقية وعن دينها؛ لكي يسهل لهم السيطرة عليها، وإن تخلي الإمة عن هويتها الإيمانية له أبعاد كبيرة وخطيرة يجعل الأمة بعيدة عن مصادر هدايتها وعزتها وكرامتها، وتكون معرضة للفساد والانحراف وتسلط الأعداء، ولذلك لا بد من المحافظة على هويتنا الإيمانية وتنميتها وتقويتها لدى جميع المسلمين، ولا يكون ذلك إلا بالتمسك بالقرآن الكريم وثقافته، والارتباط بأعلام الهدى قرناء القرآن، وترسيخ المبادئ الإيمانية لدى الجميع وفي مقدمتهم الشباب والناشئة حتى لا يكونوا عرضة للانحراف وتغيير الهوية الإيمانية والتنكر لها..

Authors: Wang Yingmin , Wu Xuan , Liu Na , Tan Hu , Liu Qiming
Published: March 2024

Background: Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is a reliable therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF). However, the relatively high recurrence rate poses a perplexing challenge for clinicians; thus, a more detailed understanding of the pulmonary vein anatomy and the left atrial (LA)-pulmonary vein (PV) conjunction mode is needed. This study aimed to explore the correlation between the PV anatomy and pAF recurrence in patients who underwent the index CBA. Methods: We included 274 consecutive pAF patients (men: 60%, mean age: 58.8 ± 11.5 years, median AF history: 25 (8, 63) months) with pAF who underwent their first cryoballoon ablation between October 2019 and March 2022. All data were collected from the patient’s medical records. Subsequent post-procedural long-term follow-up and statistical analysis were conducted. Results: Amongst the total patients, 220 (80%) remained AF-free. Multivariate analysis showed that the right inferior PV (RIPV) vertical angle (hazard ratio (HR): 1.097, 95% CI: 1.071–1.124, p < 0.001) and PV variation (HR: 1.905, 95% CI: 1.079–3.362, p = 0.026) correlated with postoperative AF recurrence. The study investigated the effectiveness of the RIPV vertical angle, either alone or in combination with other recognized factors. Conclusions: In patients with pAF who underwent the index CBA, the RIPV vertical angle and PV variation served as reliable prognostic predictors. Specifically, the RIPV vertical angle, either alone or in combination with recognized factors, demonstrated effective predictive performance.

Published: March 2024

The effectiveness of the development of individual countries within the conditions of accelerating scientific and technological progress, expanding the influence of globalisation and integration processes in the global socio-cultural space are very important during the exchange of international students. The purpose of the paper is to research the methodological foundations of the humanities education for international students as an alternative to transhumanist ideology. In the framework of general scientific research methods, a paradigmatic approach is used as a factor analysis of students' educational processes. Particular attention is paid to the substantiation of the methodological foundations of the education humanisation on the basis of modern ontologically anthropological and religious-anthropological achievements of the philosophical field of knowledge. In this regard, the thesis is accepted that the artificially imposed transhumanist ideology performs a key integrating function when considering the practice of education of international students. The novelty of the study is due to a discussion of the contradictions caused by all-round technocratisation and informatisation, the fall of moral standards, and the degradation of human behavior. The practical significance of the study is determined by the need to develop a different pedagogy and model of education for modern students.

Published: March 2024

The presence of a child can be a link between couples. However, in fact, some married couples cannot have children, even though they really need children in their domestic life. So the effort to care for or hug a child then becomes an option to get a child even though he is not a natural child. The law states that the purpose of adopting a child is simply to improve the welfare of the child.This research aims to find out and examine Islamic legal regulations regarding the inheritance rights of adopted children. The position of children in Islamic law is still attributed to their biological guardians and not to their adoptive fathers. Moreover, in Islamic inheritance law, adopted children do not get inheritance privileges from the father who supports them, but the freedom of inheritance returns to the biological father of the child being cared for. Children raised in Islam can acquire property from their supportive father through a bequest course and then a mandatory will course. Since taking over, the children and their supportive father have been seen as having been a huge help in their respective lives. Therefore, as a substitute for the freedom inherited from the younger generation, Islamic law provides a way through mandatory gifts and wills.

Authors: Sknar Oksana
Published: March 2024

Particular results of an empirical study of interaction in the family as a factor for the youth civic competence development are presented. The family is seen as a social system of sustainable interactions of its members, including parents and children, and the functioning of such a system can influence the development of civic competence of the child. Due to this and taking into account the specifics of family members interactions, the environment of family interaction is proposed to be considered in two dimensions: (1) the one that promotes/ hinders the child’s civic competence development; (2) and the one that has its own special influence resources for growing citizen’s personality. It is presented the logic of methodological tools constructing to study the aspects of family interaction, which determine the development of a child’s civic competence. This logic involves several successive stages: 1) finding psychological indicators of the study; 2) indicators’ operationalization by scales usage; 3) constructing judgments (empirical indicators) that comprehensively reveal the content of each scale. For the first time, an author's questionnaire is designed to study the features of family interaction between parents and children, which determine the child’s civic competence development. At the stage of the obtained empirical data processing, methods of mathematical statistics, in particular factor analysis, were used. By empirical means there were found the factors that determine the development of civic competence of the individual growing up in the family, namely the attitude towards child’s subjectivity (rejection of subjectivity or its support); recognition of «common» and «commonality»; tools for establishing psychological boundaries; limits of responsibility of parents and children. Models of family interaction that promote the child’s civic competence development are identified: «authoritative», «focused on integration and involvement», «focused on the partnership»; and those that are unfavorable: «authoritarian-directive», «parental needs-oriented», or neutral (e.g., a «caring» model can be both favorable and unfavorable – depending on the extent of its applying); and it is described the characteristics of each outlined model

It is described a process of alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) creation for a practical survey of AAC symbols usage in 90 patients after a brain stroke. Speech problems are presented as one of the main consequences of neurological diseases like brain stroke in adults and aged people. Alternative and augmentative communication is defined as an effective tool in the rehabilitation of speech and communication impairments as well as a compensatory opportunity for people with aphasia. The aim of the survey was to study a communicative response to used AAC symbols in early speech rehabilitation. A central issue was to study cases of AAC usage and to describe a process of images (pictograms) understanding by patients, and to describe important characteristics of the used symbols and phrases. The survey is based on observations of professionals who filled an online form after the speech rehabilitation of patients with aphasia during the first 2 weeks after a brain stroke. The survey is used to discuss the content of symbols before the creation. Nominal and rank scales are used to specify whether patients understood images on cards and identified them with real objects, states, needs, or actions.

It is developed the model of high school seniors’ professional competence increasing through communicative action, which is built of three interrelated components: awareness of professional plans, finding ownself in the chosen profession, self-actualization in professional choice. The experiment idea was to open to high school seniors the possibility of applying their internal needs of professional self-realization in their already chosen profession. The aim was to study the role of communicative action as a means for professional self-awareness development in high school seniors. To assess the dynamics of the communicative attitude of high school students, we analyzed the results of V. Boyko’s «Communicative attitude» testing by the mathematical t-Student method before and after the experimental intervention. The experimental group results showed the improvement, that is the decrease in the negative communicative attitude. There were also revealed statistically significant differences in indicators of communicative attitude with different types of professional self-determination of high school students. It is proved that the willingness to respond in a certain way to interpersonal interaction is determined by the factor of communication experience, namely, assessments and experiences of the essence of the acquired experience, views, and behavior. These indicators differ significantly depending on the professional self-determination of high school students. It is concluded that the increase of professional competence through communication leads to the improvement of mental and emotional state, and creates a new internal situation for professional self-determination optimization. The condition of professional self-determination, which can be used by a psychologist in career guidance work, is the use of informational action to start rethinking high school seniors’ own reality, which accordingly forms the strategy of their behavior. The further research perspective is seen in the development of professional psychological training and the use of the method of causometry in high school students

An epidemic of suicide is spreading in the world, which, according to UNICEF, has become the third most common cause of death for young people aged 15-19. Typically, one school suicide affects about 135 people around the suicide, leading to suicide clusters, mental disorders, and other dangerous consequences. At present, Ukraine has developed a scientifically sound set of tools for diagnosing suicidal ideation, early intervention, and crisis intervention in case of suicide attempts, in particular in educational institutions. At the same time, fasting as psychological support for affected groups and individuals remains the most minor developed part of the suicide prevention system in educational institutions. The article aims to analyze foreign models (protocols) of suicide and determine the directions of development of the domestic model of post-support of the staff of the educational institution in which the suicide (bullycide) or his attempt occurred. Protocols of preventive measures developed and applied as models in five countries are analyzed: Australia, Great Britain, Belgium, Canada, USA. According to the results of the analysis, invariant (which are in all protocols) and variable (which are in some, but not in other protocols) components of the structure are distinguished. Invariant components of postvention protocols are creating a crisis team responsible for crisis response, early development, and creation of crisis response routes, early training of relevant specialists, chronological regulation of postvention process, normalization of behavior, standardization of behavior, communication, and social space organization. Variable components primarily reflect the community’s cultural, socio-economic, political-psychological specifics for which the protocol is developed. Creating a suicide protocol (bullycide) adapted to domestic realities or trying to commit it in an educational institution will reduce the destructive impact of a suicide episode on people at risk, including the likelihood of suicide clusters, retraumatization of the immediate environment, etc.; will contribute to the faster normalization of the socio-psychological climate in the educational institution and its return to normal operating conditions

The article presents the results of an empirical study to establish predictors of successful (effective) professional activity of emergencies specialists. The study was conducted in several stages. At the first stage, its participants were 25 ordinary citizens aged 18 to 65 and 15 professionals with experience in emergencies and representing the age group 22-45. Two focus groups were conducted: the first – with ordinary citizens (90 minutes), the second – with specialists (120 minutes). As a result, a list of professional competencies of a specialist in the extreme field of activity was formed. This list also contained competencies (as some respondents did not distinguish between competencies and competencies due to low level of awareness) and consisted of 27 items. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each expert (20 minutes). The group of experts consisted of 12 people (police, military, rescuers, psychologists). The selection of experts was carried out taking into account the following criteria: experience of at least five years, participation in the elimination of the consequences of emergencies (floods, fires, hostilities, accidents). In the end, erroneously included competencies were removed from the list, and some were combined into competencies. Subsequently, the experts were asked to identify the essential competencies for predicting successful professional activity. Each professional competence had to be assessed on a five-point scale. The frequency of representation of a certain competence was calculated based on the obtained data. This made it possible to determine the predictors of successful professional activity of emergencies specialists, in particular, such competencies as tolerance for uncertainty and risk competence. The article also presents the results of a review of theoretical and empirical research on the phenomena of «tolerance for uncertainty» and «risk-taking». It offers psychological tools for studying these phenomena. The main conclusion of our analysis is that attempts to understand better the phenomena of tolerance for uncertainty and risk-taking are not currently effective enough to achieve a single conceptual definition or an adequate empirical measure covering the full range of tolerances and uncertainties. This significantly complicates the practical acquisition of competencies necessary for the successful (effective) professional activity of emergencies specialists. And questionnaires, which are the main psychological tools, are too subjective
