Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, SYDORCHUK Ivanna
Published: February 2023

The main aspects of financial planning in the enterprise are investigated in the work. The negative and positive factor impact on the financial success and development of enterprises is discussed. The tools that provide improvement of financial indicators of the enterprise and increase of the general level of their development, including sources of formation of financial resources of the enterprise are defined. The sequence of control over the implementation and regulation of the financial plan of the enterprise is proposed. The main tasks of financial planning are as follows: resource balancing of the cycle of production assets on the basis of self-sufficiency and liquidity of debt obligations, resource provision of social measures; rational allocation of capital; prerequisites for financial stability, solvency and creditworthiness determination of the most rational directions of enterprise development that will provide the greatest profit in the planning period; efficient use of financial resources. Factors of influencing the financial planning of enterprises are: technical and economic; organizational and managerial, political and legal and socio-psychological (social). The source of formation of financial resources of the enterprise for the purposes of financial planning is the investment policy, which determines the mechanisms of investment. Investment mechanisms include: own funds mobilization mechanism; the mechanism of mobilization of borrowed funds and the mechanism of mobilization of borrowed funds. The sequence of control over the implementation and regulation of the financial plan of the enterprise includes: formation of the financial plan (operating budgets) of the enterprise; execution of the financial plan; assessment of the risks of influence on the financial stability and development of the enterprise by groups; conducting an analysis of the implementation of the previous financial plan in accordance with the standards for the balance of indicators of the financial activity of the enterprise; choice of technologies and tools to control the implementation of the plan; detection of the result; Regulatory measures to eliminate “Strategic mistakes”. Thus, the financial planning of the enterprise is an extremely important component of successful financial management.

The article substantiates the importance of ensuring the financial and economic security of a critical infrastructure enterprise in wartime conditions. It was established that it serves as a guarantee of “survival” and the basis for maintaining a stable position of the business entity in wartime. The higher the stability of the enterprise, the lower the risk of the influence of external and internal factors on its economic and financial security and activity as a whole. The current crisis situation in the world and in Ukraine requires enterprises to quickly respond to external and internal challenges that can both positively and negatively affect the efficiency of the enterprise. The aggressor’s troops are attacking Ukrainian cities, shelling the civilian population, infrastructure, residential buildings, kindergartens, schools, colleges, and universities. As a result of the russian war, a large part of the energy infrastructure, which is critical for Ukraine, was damaged. Therefore, it is timely and relevant to assess the financial and economic security of a critical infrastructure enterprise. The article analyses the activities of JSC “POLTAVAOBLENERGO”. The level of its financial and economic security is determined. Taking into account the realities of today, it should be noted that the financial condition of JSC “POLTAVAOBLENERGO” can be characterized as difficult, crisis. A high probability of bankruptcy, a financial crisis, and the presence of “sick” items in the balance sheet are a sign of a low level of financial and economic security of the studied critical infrastructure enterprise. The scientific and applied principles of qualitative and quantitative factors that determine the peculiarities of the safety-oriented activity of the enterprise have been revealed. The main threats that destabilize the activity of the critical infrastructure enterprise have been systematized. Measures are proposed that will contribute to increasing the level of financial and economic security of JSC “POLTAVAOBLENERGO”.

Published: February 2023

In modern business conditions, the effective development of any enterprise, industry, region, country is practically unreal without the introduction and use of innovations that determine the overall level of competitiveness of the business entity on the domestic and foreign markets. Attracting innovations can contribute to increasing the efficiency of the use of fixed and working capital, labor productivity, reducing the cost of production and other indicators, which contributes to reducing the cost of production, saving resources and achieving the target level of profit. Today, one of the main global directions of the innovative technological process is the development of forestry, the purpose of which is to improve and intensify activities through the use of the latest technologies. Therefore, the search for innovations that can increase the efficiency of forestry management is becoming more and more urgent. Forests are extremely important for the economic potential of Ukraine. They serve as raw materials for the activity and development of many branches of the economy, create favorable conditions for people’s lives. Nevertheless, they are in a satisfactory state because there are many factors that stand in the way of their development. Therefore, research on the use of innovative technologies as a key to improving the efficiency of forestry activities requires in-depth research. The article comprehensively researches the implementation of innovative development of forestry in Ukraine, which is based on the concepts of sustainable development and forest management, using the best experience of European countries and traditions formed in Ukraine. The implementation of a number of innovative measures turned out to be a prerequisite for the successful development of national forestry. These measures are designed to eliminate contradictions between forestry and forestry, to develop an integrated process in the field of harvesting, conservation and use of forest resources based on lease relationships and common interests in organizations of sustainable forest use.The purpose of this article is to determine the main types of innovative technologies and their areas of application in the country’s forestry.

Abstract. The cases of the development of mass intrusions in some basins of Lake Baikal were reviewed based on the measurements of water temperature and dissolved oxygen in water in 1993-2022. It was shown that in Southern, Middle and Northern Baikal during the development of intrusions in the spring-summer period, the heat deficit value was within 0.5-103.0, 3.1-15.8, 0.2-3.6 MJ/m2, dissolved oxygen amount was 0.2-161.3, 14.7-46.0, 0.6-6.3 g/m2 and the renewed bottom layer thickness was 36-318, 48-176, 38-94 m respectively. In winter in Southern Baikal, the heat deficit value varied within 0.8-5.2 MJ/m2, the amount of dissolved oxygen was 9.9-19.2 g/m2, and the thickness of the renewed bottom layer was 24-124 m. Analysis of the correlation between the heat deficit values and the circulation indices revealed that mass intrusions in Southern and Northern Baikal during the spring-summer period were associated with the prevailing meridional transport of air masses from the Eastern Atlantic and blocking zonal transport of air masses from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. On the contrary, in Middle Baikal, mass intrusions during the spring-summer period were developing under the conditions of zonal transport of air masses simultaneously from the Eastern Atlantic and northern and western areas of the Pacific Ocean. The development of mass intrusions in Southern Baikal in winter was related to the intensification of circumpolar circulation and zonal transport of air masses from the Atlantic Ocean.
Posiadanie broni palnej a poziom przestępczości z jej użyciem w Polsce

The purpose of this paper is to attempt to answer the question whether there exists a real relationship between gun ownership and crime rate. The study uses a statistical method; in particular, it compares the dynamics of the number of gun permits issued and the number of crimes committed with the use of guns. Pearson correlation coefficient is calculated. Between these categories of data there appears to be a very strong correlation (r = 0.8954), especially in the period from 2002 to 2013. Next, data on the number of gun crimes and the number of all crimes reported in 2002–2017 are compared and a positive correlation is revealed (r = 0.4590). When the years 2016–2017 are excluded – in this period a sharp increase the number of gun crimes was observed – the correlation coefficient is as high as r = 0.9296. The research suggests that it is unlikely that the number of gun permits directly affects the number of gun crimes. However, the reverse relationship cannot be ruled out. Perhaps the decrease in the number of crimes in general and the resulting greater sense of security result in a lower number of gun permit applications or a lower number of permits issued.
Sustainable TOURISM: win-win-win papakonstantinidis model
Authors: Papakonstantinidis Leonidas
Published: February 2023

Tourism is considered by the three forms of its sustainability

• The economic sustainability
• The social sustainability
• The environmental sustainability

That corresponds 1-1 to the incentives of tourist bargaining behavior

• Maximizing the economic profit/satisfaction (win: John von Neumann and Oscar Morgenstern, 1944)1
• Maximizing the social perspective-integrated bargaining (win-win: John Forbes Nash (1950)2
• Maximizing the communitarianism-integrated and complete bargaining (win-win-win Leonidas Papakonstantinidis (2002)3 in the frame of the complete unifying negotiation, thus enlarging the pie

Unifying Negotiation is an agreement where the parties achieve a qualitatively superior joint result, than what would have resulted from a compromise solution. The goal of a consolidating deal is to create more value, to grow the overall pie. This means that the parties manage to reform the terms of the agreement in such a way that the value the agreement now has for each party has increased. For this to be possible, the parties must come to the negotiation trying to find ways to work together, sometimes adjusting their goals, so that they can structure a better deal for everyone.

The European Innovation Action INCULTUM The EU-funded INCULTUM project (INnovative CULTural Tourism in European peripheries) is considered

Finally, in the case study, three scenarios have been studied, by the chi square statistics, ie

• Tourism incentive is only individual profit/satisfaction maximization- self-interest (win)
• Tourism incentive is cooperation maximization (win-win)
• Tourism incentive is functioning maximization (win-win-win)

Findings showed that people (either as tourist services offers, or tourism consumers) have all three incentives in tourist negotiations, more in individual profit maximization, but also the win-win cooperation, as well as the functioning maximization (in the limit of χ2 critical values)
Dynamics of Three-Level Laser Pumped by Electron Bombardment
Authors: Alemu Menisha
Published: February 2023

In this paper we have studied the statistical and squeezing properties of the cavity light generated by a three-level laser. In this quantum optical system, N three-level atoms available in an open cavity, coupled to a two-mode vacuum reservoir, are pumped to the top level by means of electron bombardment at constant rate. We have considered the case in which the three-level atoms and the cavity modes interact with the two-mode vacuum reservoir. Applying the solutions of the equations of evolution for the expectation values of the atomic operators and the quantum Langevin equations for the cavity mode operators, we have calculated the mean and variance of the photon number as well as the quadrature squeezing for the cavity light. In addition, we have shown that the presence of the spontaneous emission process leads to a decrease in the mean and variance of the photon number. We have observed that the two-mode cavity light is in a squeezed state and the squeezing occurs in the minus quadrature. In addition, we have found that the effect of the vacuum reservoir noise is to increase the photon-number variance and to decrease the quadrature squeezing of the cavity light. However, the vacuum reservoir noise does not have any effect on the mean photon number. Moreover, the maximum quadrature squeezing of the light generated by the laser, operating far below threshold, is found to be 37.5% below the vacuum-state level. In addition, our result indicates that the quadrature squeezing is greater for γ=0 than that for γ=0.4 for 0.01 < ra < 0.35 and is smaller for γ=0 than that for γ=0.4 for 0.35 < ra < 1.
Russian Military Renaissance: An Unnecessary War
Authors: Ivanov Iskren
Published: February 2023

The deep roots of the war between Russia and Ukraine are the firm U.S. conviction that the latter should become a NATO Member State to deter the post-Soviet influence of the former. Proponents of the Russian intervention use various arguments to justify Moscow’s use of force, but their starting point is far from rational. Both political and historical realities in the region prove that the geopolitical choices of minor actors are typically subject to competition among great powers. Throughout their record of confrontation, both the United States and Russia have demonstrated that Eastern Europe is essential for their foreign policy. The purpose of this paper is to assess if the Russian invasion of Ukraine is an expression of _realpolitik. _The arguable position that the Ukrainian conflict is the West’s fault inspires considerable debate among Western scholars who believe that Ukraine’s membership in the Alliance is inevitable. In the article, I argue that the actions of Russia are not an expression of realist foreign policy simply because Putin’s nuclear threats are not rational. Instead, Kremlin’s war embodies a strategic amalgam of what I call military renaissance – the long-term dream of Russia to restore the Soviet Empire to its former spheres of influence. That is why the Cold War strategy of containment will not work.
An Ontological Turn for Psychology in the age of the Machine and Global Warming
Authors: Sundararajan Louise
Published: February 2023

This essay pays homage to indigenous psychology by reiterating its central theme—decolonization—through a variant of the theme in the call for an ontological turn. Ontology refers to human’s basic commitments and assumptions about reality, namely what things are, and what they could be. It is argued that ontologies have consequences. The ontology of objects privileged in science facilitates the acquisition of objective knowledge in the physical world, but cannot improve our understanding of the culturally different other whose lives may be shaped by ontology of subjects. Ethnographic data from Southeast Asia are used as illustration of how ontology of subjects may fill a moral vacuum in value-neutral science, as well as give psychology better insights into the problems of advanced technology ranging from automatization to global warming.

Pouch of sorrow: Undiagnosed isthmocele – presenting as secondary infertility of 11 years in a middle age female
Authors: NA Sayema , Ibbrahim Aiman , Koppal Divyashree , Wahab Shagufta
Published: February 2023

In the past decade, the rate of cesarean sections has doubled leading to the more frequent occurrence of cesarean-related complications. Cesarean scar site diverticulum or isthmocele is one such complication that is defined as an outpouching of the anterior uterine wall at the cesarean scar site in continuity with the endometrial cavity, creating a wedge-shaped defect of variable depth. We report a case of a middle-aged female with secondary infertility for the last 11 years with one live issue 12 years back through a cesarean section at term. She had undergone an array of investigations for infertility for the past 5 years. She was diagnosed as having an isthmocele and managed with surgical repair of the defect at our hospital with subsequent assisted conception 8-month post-surgical repair. The importance of diagnosing a cesarean scar diverticulum cannot be understated not only because it is a surgically treatable cause of infertility but also because if such patients conceive, they may land in uterine rupture, placenta accreta, or scar ectopic pregnancy which can complicate into life-threatening situations.

На початку третього тисячоліття тема харчування займає чільне місце в галузі охорони здоров’я, суспільстві і політиці багатьох країн світової спільноти. Перспективним способом вирішення цієї проблеми є впровадження у раціони оздоровчих напоїв на основі нетрадиційної сировини. З метою розширення асортименту їх використання в закладах ресторанного господарства нами розроблено технології дев’яти фіточаїв різного призначення (вітамінні, загальнозміцнювальні та заспокійливі). Для їх приготування використовували шипшину, суницю, м’яту, звіробій та інші рослини, які корисно споживати на щодень. Методом органолептичного аналізу визначали оптимальні співвідношення вмісту компонентів у напоях на основі оцінки показників якості. Аналіз нетрадиційної сировини рослинного походження дає змогу обґрунтувати оздоровче призначення напоїв. Розроблені рецептури фіточаїв за дотримання правил їх споживання (чергування напоїв із різної сировини, помірна кількість споживання) є цілком безпечними й приноситимуть лише користь для здоров’я людини. З метою покращення попиту на розроблену нами продукцію та ознайомлення потенційних споживачів фіточаїв з оздоровчими властивостями розроблено рекламні буклети-меню, довідники та методичні рекомендації тощо. Разом з тим, необхідними є подальші наукові дослідження у цій царині знань для з’ясування подальшого використання нетрадиційної рослинної сировини Карпатського регіону у харчуванні людини на основі сучасних уявлень про механізми оздоровчої і лікувальної дії біологічно активних речовин лікарських рослин, оскільки цінні властивості їх видового розмаїття ще не сповна є розкритими, а відтак ще будуть вивчатися не одним поколінням учених і народних цілителів.

Великої популярності в Україні набувають продукти підвищеного ступеня готов- ності (мюслі, сухі сніданки, супи-пюре, продукти групи «інстант» тощо), тобто про- дукти, що не потребують глибокої кулінарної обробки перед вживанням. Вони прості та зручні у використанні, приготування страви з них не вимагає докладати значнихзу- силь та часудля їх приготування. Перспективною технологією, що забезпечує істотну інтенсифікацію виробничих процесів, є екструзійна обробка крохмалевмісної сировини, що дозволяє отримувати продукти харчування, повністю готові до вживання (закусочні про- дукти, сухі сніданки, пластівці і т. д.), продукти швидкого приготування. Екструзійна обробка є одним з найбільш прогресивних видів технології в сучасній хар- човій промисловості. Переваги екструзії полягають у тому, що вона максимально зберігає біологічно активні речовини сировини, що переробляється, замінює складне устаткування і багато періодичні процеси на безперервні. Сучасні екструзійні технології дозволяють створювати продукти заданого хімічного складу, цілеспрямовано змінювати структуру і технологічні властивості вироблюваної продукції, вводити необхідні біологічно активні компоненти, що додають продукту функціональні властивості. Основною сировиною для виробництва екструдованих продуктів є кукурудза, пшениця, просо, ячмінь, рис та продукти їх переробки. А використання екструдованого борошна виготовленого із екструдатів дає можливість отримати високозасвоюваний та швид- корозчинний продукт. На підставі аналізу біохімічного складу різної зернової сировини і отриманих екструдованих продуктів, визначення органолептичних показників якості нами обґрунтовано вибір сировини, дозування, оптимальні умови отримання екструдатів та їх рецептуру. Розроблені екструдати можуть бути рекомендовані для застосування підлітками, дітьми, дієтичному харчуванні та споживанні інших верств населення.

Published: February 2023

To accelerate the target of national food self-sufficiency, especially rice, the development of upland rice that has high yields and is adaptive to extreme environments is needed. Fulfillment of high-yielding characteristics begins with characterization and selection to get the most adaptive varieties. This study aims to identify the morpho-physiological characteristics of Aceh rice germplasm. The study was conducted in Gampong Paloh Lada and at the Agroecotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Malikussaleh, Aceh Utara Regency, and at the Biology Laboratory in Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Sumatera Utara, from April to August 2022. This research used a Randomized Block Design non Factorial, comprising 7 local inbreds viz., Unsyiah Cakep (G1), Unsyiah Seumeulu (G2), Cot Bada (G3), Sigunca (G4), Sigupai (G5), Cot Bada (G6) and Rajasa (G7). The parameters measured were growth and yield variables consisting of plant height, number of tillers, flowering age, leaf proline content, root length, shoot-root ratio, number of grains, and weight of 1000 grains. The results indicated that the local germplasm Sigunca and Sigupai have good adaptability by adjusting plant height and forming more tillers than other germplasm. In terms of generative growth, Unsyiah Mantap and Cot Bada are entering generative growth more quickly, as marked by the appearance of flowers. The proline content as an indicator of resistance to water limitations was achieved at the highest level in Unsyiah Cakap at 5 g/mol, followed by Unsyiah Mantap at 3 g/mol.
THE EFFECT OF CONVERSION OF CONVENTIONAL BANKS TO ISLAMIC BANKS: EVIDENCE FROM GCC COUNTRIES
Authors: Al-Harbi Ahmad
Published: February 2023

The conversion from conventional to Islamic banking is one of the important topics in the Islamic finance industry due to non-existence of comprehensive framework for the conversion process contributing to several problems for the converted banks. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of conversion from conventional to Islamic banking on the converted banksâ€™ operations. In addition, this paper will shed some light on the motivation behind the conversion and the process of conversion as well as providing answers to some of the problems that could hinder the conversion process. The analytical method used is ratio analysis (t-test) on the data extracted from BankScope database of five banks operating in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The findings show that conversion helped to improve the performance and financial position of the converted banks, leading to sharp increases in assets, deposits, equity, and net income. Despite these benefits, however, the converted banks' profitability, efficiency, asset quality, liquidity, and risk indicators do not improve. This dichotomy may be due in part to the managementâ€™s inability to utilize the banksâ€™ funds more efficiently to bring performance in line with increases in assets, deposits, equity, and net income. The findings indicate that the conversion methods play an important role in the conversion process because choosing the wrong method could slow or rescind the conversion. Thus, this study suggests that the conversion method and banks' management competencies must be taken into account prior to conversion.

Various marketing techniques have been used to capture consumers' attention. Among them is using Islamic attributes. This practice has led to various negative impacts on the consumers and the Islamic dignity itself. The aim of this study is to identify the misuse of Islamic attributes in food productsâ€™ labelling and to investigate the extent to which the use of Islamic attributes impacts the consumer and the Islamic dignity. In order to achieve the objectives, library research was carried out to collect relevant information. The materials also include online materials gathered from Google search engine. The materials are not only limited to the English language but also cover Malay language materials. The qualitative data from the library study was analyzed using the content analysis method. There are various types of misuse; first, is Quran-related such as Ruqyah, secondly Sunnah-related such as using the term Prophetic foods or the word Sunnah itself, thirdly by using Islamic icons. Fourthly, by using Islamic act of worships such as prostration in prayers and the fifth category is using an Islamic or Muslimâ€™s name. The last category is by using Jawi writings or Arabic terms in the label or trademark. These marketing techniques may lead to numerous effects, among others degrading the authority of Sunnah, health concern and exploiting Islam for commercial gain. The findings may act as a starting point to the policymakers in proposing some guidelines on the use of Islamic attributes in food product labeling and marketing in Malaysia.

In today’s business world, the traditional ways of doing business are rapidly being replaced with online transactions. More and more companies realise that they need to digitalize their operation processes to keep abreast with the local and foreign competitors. This practice is no exception to zakat institutions in Malaysia when they must seize this technology evolution to ease the zakat payers in fulfilling the obligation as Muslim via online payment system. This study aims to identify the determinants affecting the intention to use online zakat payment among Muslim in Shah Alam, Selangor. A structured questionnaire is distributed to 300 Muslim respondents Muslim using a convenience sampling technique. The results of the estimated multiple regression show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and security and privacy critical drivers of intention to use online zakat payment while no significant relationship was found between trust and amount of information to use online zakat payment. Thus, the empirical findings of this study provide a point of reference to zakat institutions to leverage the usefulness and ease of use of the online collection zakat system to increase zakat collections. Additionally, the institution must also beef up its security and privacy of users to alleviate the acceptance of online system usage.

Indian Muslim (mamak) restaurant operators faced challenges to survive due to manpower shortage which affected its service to customers. Past studies related to restaurants often focused on customer satisfaction rather than employees who are supposedly the backbone of the company, of which, less attention given on the aspect of religiosity and motivation. Thus, the study aimed to analyze the effect of religiosity and motivation on employees’ job performance evidenced from mamak restaurants in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. This survey included 145 employees of Mamak restaurants and employed quantitative approach for data collection. Regression analysis was employed to analyze the instrument and test the study hypotheses during the analysis procedures. The finding revealed that both religiosity and motivation have positive effect on job performance. It could be described that being able to perform ibadah means a lot to employees and by having the management provide motivation in the form of monetary or non-monetary could further boost their work productivity. This study also recommended that this area be expanded as it has yet been undertaken from the perspective of employees. This research adds to the theoretical knowledge by offering empirical support on the factors influencing employee performance improvement as well as managerial contribution for restaurant operators to take religious and motivational initiatives for the betterment of the business. Management should consider improvising employees’ compensational package that reflect their contributions to the company.
DEVELOPMENT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY FOR B40

Published: February 2023

Economic conditions in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic create an uncertain environment for all levels of the community, resulting in anxiety for everyone. The majority of the B40 group has difficulty obtaining credit from banks due to a lack of credit history and collateral. The B40 group is among the affected in obtaining financing from any financial institution. It makes it more difficult for them to buy a house and obtain financial assistance from financial institutions. As a result, they are unable to own their house and resulting to rent a house for their whole lifetime. It is worsened for this vulnerable group to pay the monthly house rental due to unstable income. Eventually, the house rentals arrears accumulate over several months, which could cause them to be evicted from the rented house. Therefore, the study aims to discuss the issues and challenges for the B40 group in Malaysia to own a home and explore a feasible solution for affordable housing on waqf land, while also proposing a framework for the development of residential property on waqf land in Malaysia by a collaboration between related stakeholders. This study incorporated primary data by conducting an in-depth analysis of the interview sessions from the targeted respondents. A series of interview questions are posed about the issues and challenges of B40 in owning a house, and the proposed framework to elicit feedback from industry practitioners regarding its viability and perspectives. The study discovers that the Islamic bank could play a significant role by acting as a collection agent from the public as a source of funding and channeling the fund to the waqf organizations or directly to this project. The study also proposes solar energy utilization within the framework which may help to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while also addressing the United Nations' sustainable development agenda. This research offers the originality of the finding for the proposed collaboration framework between the Islamic banks, waqf, and zakat institutions in developing the residential property for the B40 group. This research contributes to improving the B40 group’s standard of living by providing a more comfortable house to live in for a long-term period, while also sparking an idea for other researchers to further improve the framework for other environmental aspects.

Telomeres are a popular biomarker of senescence, as telomere dynamics are linked with survival and lifespan. However, the evolutionary potential of telomere dynamics, and the selection pattern that gives rise to senescence, are not well known. To better understand this, it is necessary to quantify genetic variation in telomere length, and how such variation changes with age. Here, we analysed a longitudinal dataset (2,156 samples from 1,267 individuals across 15 years) from a wild, insular house sparrow (Passer domesticus) population with complete life-history and genetic relatedness data. Using a series of ‘animal’ models, we confirmed that telomere length (TL): (1) changes with age, reflecting senescence in this population. We then showed that (2) TL is repeatable (15.7%, 95% CrI: 10.2–21.0%) and heritable (14.0%, 95% CrI: 8.7–19.5%); and, for the first time in the wild, (3) that TL shows a genotype-by-age interaction, meaning that genotypes differ in their rate of TL change, where additive genetic variance increases at older ages. Our findings provide empirical evidence from a wild population that supports hypotheses explaining the evolution of senescence, and highlights the importance of telomere dynamics as a key biomarker of body physiology for the evolution of senescence.
Rikosten yksiköinnin ennakoitavuus vainoamista (RL 25:7 a) koskevassa oikeuskäytännössä

This article covers same-offence-identification as singular or multiple offences (same-offence- identification) pertaining to stalking. Said doctrine is a subbranch of the concurrence of offences and there are no provisions in the law concerning this phenomenon. Instead, it falls onto the courts to decide whether a conduct is to be considered a singular or multiple breach(es) of a certain criminalization. This decision is steered by legal praxis, legal literature and the so called “natural point of view” and the criteria that compose it, which have been established in legal praxis. Weighting of said criteria varies depending on the offence in question and especially its wording.

Occasionally, this resolution can have a significant influence on determining the severity of punishment presently or in the future as well as time-barring of the right to bring charges. Thus, the consideration of these viable consequences already in the phase of same-offence-identification can be deemed an interesting prospect. The focus of this article is on the analysis of same-offence- identification pertaining to stalking (CCoF 25:7 a) in light of inter alia the principles of legality and equality within criminal law; if these decisions can directly influence the determining of punishment either in the present or in the future, it is paramount that said decisions are made foreseeably and justly. Hence, the main research material comprises decisions made by the courts of appeal of Helsinki, Turku and Vaasa in cases of suspected stalking between 2015 and 2019.
A scrutiny of this material indicates that same-offence-identification is incoherent when convicting individuals of stalking. Worryingly, same-offence-identification practices appear haphazard and seem to follow initial identifications made by prosecutors. To harmonize these decisions, it is proposed that said rulings be reasoned more regularly.
Pohdintoja ihmisoikeuksien universaalisuuden rajallisuudesta
Authors: Tupamäki Binga
Published: February 2023

Human rights are the most universally accepted set of norms that have ever existed. Thus, finding a person or community that would deny their fundamental importance to our society is not easy. According to some views, we live in a global revolution of rights, where fundamental rights are a central part of all political discussions. The dilemma of the universality of human rights holds various aspects, of which this article identifies four. The first and most challenging question is how to justify the fact that human rights universally bind everyone. This must be kept separate from the second, much more practical question of how human rights can be applied universally. Thirdly, the politicization of human rights can be considered an obstacle to universal principles as politics are typically dependent on momentary issues. Fourth, one must consider the inadequacy of human rights in their current form and how human rights fail to solve some of the critical problems they were created to solve. The article's main objective is to go through the challenges of universality at a general level. The purpose of this article is not to offer a certain kind of solution to a specific debate but to map what kind of limitations come into question when considering the universality of human rights.
