JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: LIMA LARISSA PINHO DE ALENCAR
Published: December 2023

O direito à educação é assegurado pela CF/88 e elevado a status de garantia fundamental de responsabilidade inerente à família e ao Estado, cabendo a esse oferecer condições para que a lei seja de fato efetivada. Entretanto, devido as crescentes demandas sociais em disparidade com a inércia presente no cenário político brasileiro, o Poder Executivo vem tornando-se cada vez mais limitado para atender as reais necessidades de efetivação dessa garantia, fazendo com que o Poder Judiciário amplie de forma considerável a sua atuação nesse contexto. Sendo assim, pressupõe-se ser de relevante importância compreender o padrão pelo qual os tribunais tomam decisões relativas ao direito à educação. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o padrão de comportamento decisório do TJRO, do TJRS e do STF ao julgar as demandas relativas à  judicialização da educação, ponderando se esse padrão de comportamento é progressista ou conservador e, ainda, se houve protagonismo judicial nas decisões proferidas entre o ano de 2011 a 2017. Buscou-se também, conhecer se as decisões influenciaram no comportamento do Poder Legislativo, cuja finalidade típica é inovar o ordenamento jurídico elaborando epromulgando leis que movimentem o Poder Executivo na criação e execução de programas e políticas públicas voltadas ao direito à educação. Cabe ressaltar que, para fins desse estudo, foi considerado como padrão conservador àquela decisão fundamentada em direito material legal, ou seja, na legislação pátria sem qualquer inovação jurídica. Por outro lado, foi considerado como padrão progressista a decisão fundamentada na CF/88ou seus princípios, ou ainda leis internacionais, com maior grau de protagonismo judicial. Por fim, foi identificada em qual perspectiva o Poder Judiciário tem agido como mediadorde políticas públicas que envolvem o direito educacional, tornando-se mais ativo diante da inércia do poder legislativo e do poder executivo.

MUROS ALTOS E RIOS DE SANGUE
Authors: Domingues Teixeira Sérgio William
Published: December 2023

Neste estudo, pretende-se verificar a inter-relação existente entre o sistema penitenciário estadual, tomando como base o Estado de Rondônia, parte da Amazônia Ocidental, e o chamado Sistema Penitenciário Federal, avaliando se a movimentação de presos entre esses dois modelos prisionais, de alguma forma, contribui para a expansão de gangues prisionais ou, ainda, se estimula ou favorece a emergência de novos coletivos de presos pelos estados e de que forma isso impacta sobre o monopólio da violência e do controle estatal das prisões. De fato, com as gangues prisionais, surge, aos poucos, um novo modelo de comportamento para os presos, com códigos próprios, rígidos e que conduzem à dominação de grande parte da população carcerária e do espaço prisional. Com isso, a prisão, que deveria ser uma instituição voltada para o controle da violência e da criminalidade, para a ressocialização do preso, transforma-se em ambiente de fomento de mais violência e mais crimes,  sendo essa, enfim, a razão da criação do Sistema Penitenciária Federal como mecanismo de controle dessa violência e também como forma de combater as gangues de presos. Contudo, como consequência de sua criação, deu-se o encontro de lideranças criminosas de todo o país, formando-se o que se chamou de “Comitê Central do Crime”.

MEDIAÇÃO JUDICIAL EM CONTEXTOS FAMILIARES ENVOLVENDO A GUARDA DE FILHOS
Authors: SOUZA NETO ZENO GERMANO DE
Published: December 2023

O processo de mediação é caracterizado como discursivo, que visa a resolução de conflitos por meio da comunicação com um terceiro qua­lificado, o mediador. Compreende-se que por meio da mediação é possível que os pais possam superar os conflitos em prol dos filhos, sendo possível manter o compartilhamento dos cuidados e o laço familiar. Objetivo Geral: O objetivo geral desta tese foi de analisar os desfechos de acordos judiciais ob­tidos por mediação em casos de disputa de guarda de filhos. Para responder a esse objetivo, foram desenvolvidos dois artigos: téorico e empírico. Artigo Teórico: O primeiro artigo buscou caracterizar o estado atual da arte sobre a atuação do psicólogo enquanto mediador em processos de disputa de guarda de filhos, as técnicas utilizadas para realização da mediação, as características do processo de mediação, dos indivíduos atendidos e dos mediadores, por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. As bases de dados utilizadas na pesquisa foram: Redalyc, BVS e Scielo. Dentre os 37 artigos encontrados, foram analisados um total final de sete artigos. Observou-se que o trabalho de mediação é realizado de forma multidisciplinar e o trabalho do psicólogo é realizado fundamentalmente em parceria com os operadores do Direito e Assistentes Sociais. Artigo Empírico: O segundo artigo teve como principal objetivo identificar como os indivíduos que participaram de mediação judicial em casos de guarda de filho representam o processo de mediar conflitos. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, entre os anos de 2013 e 2018, com 22 in­divíduos que estiveram em litígio sobre a guarda de seus filhos e que fizeram um acordo a partir do trabalho de mediação judicial de conflitos. O instru­mento utilizado para a coleta de dados foi uma entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo. Constatou-se que a maioria dos acordos judiciais obtidos por mediação em casos de guarda de filhos foram mantidos. As razões que motivaram os indivíduos a participar da mediação foram o diálogo e a busca de acordo com o outro genitor, sendo que a avaliação do resultado obtido com a mediação foi positiva. Os acordos foram mantidos, principalmente pelas mudanças ocorridas por meio de uma comunicação mais efetiva entre os pais durante a mediação, gerando uma percepção positiva quanto à comunicação entre as partes. Conclusões: A par­tir dos resultados apresentados, pode-se concluir que a mediação oferece ao judiciário um caminho humanizado e adequado para lidar com as questões do Direito de Família, ressaltando a importância do trabalho multidisciplinar para a resolução mais efetiva da situação.

A Critical Review of Moral Relativism, Universalism/absolutism and the Teaching of the Catholic Church on Catholic Morality
Authors: Galat Margarita , Guzon Stephen
Published: December 2023

Ethical relativism is the thesis that moral judgements are relative to culture and individual preferences. It claims that there is no universal morality as pointed out by moral universalism/absolutism.  Moral universalism is the meta-ethical position that ethics or morality applies universally, that is for all similarly situated individuals, regardless of culture, race, sex, religion, nationality, sexuality or other distinguishing features. Catholic Church teaches that moral law is universal across people in varying cultures and fact is rooted in the natural human condition or reason. All adult persons are capable of knowing the truth. John Paul II insisted that no matter how separated someone is from God, in the depth of his heart, there always remains a yearning for the absolute truth and a thirst to attain full knowledge of it.

Authors: Respicio Ma. Teresa Lhyn , Irorita Ericka Shane , Corpuz Jiah Syril , Abad Krysvyl Anne
Published: December 2023

This study determined the effects of the products and services of Microfinance Institutions on the economic development of their members in Vintar, Ilocos Norte, Philippines.
          The descriptive correlational research design was adopted using a survey questionnaire to gather data. A total of 603 respondents were involved. They were taken from the members of two Microfinance Institutions (CARD Bank Inc. and ASA Philippines Foundation Inc.,) in Vintar, Ilocos Norte, Philippines who have been a member for at least two years. The study was delimited into the top three barangays with the most members which are composed of Barangays Parut, Alejo Malasig, and Pedro F. Alviar. Frequency, percentage, weighted mean, Chi-square test, and Pearson r of correlation were used to analyze and interpret the data gathered.
          The following were the highlights of the findings of the study. The MFIs are giving their members quality products offered on loan applications and loan features as manifested by a very satisfied and satisfied rating of their members, respectively, as it is significantly and positively related to their economic development. The MFI members’ economic development in terms of financial, personal, and business status are significantly and highly related to their level of satisfaction with the customer services offered by the MFIs. The MFI’s services offered have met the satisfaction level of their members as expressed by a rating of very satisfied and satisfied on customer service and non-financial services, respectively.
It was recommended that: On the part of Microfinance Institutions, they should consider the financial status of their members in terms of the reasonable service fee, and allow repayment and reasonable penalties for nonpayment/default to lessen their burden on their expenses, microfinance institutions should also conduct community development projects in different municipalities to increase their members' economic development, and microfinance institutions should provide business training to improve or expand their members’ business strategies.  On the part of the members, they should pay their payments on time and actively participate in the activities of the MFIs. On the part of future researchers, they may also conduct studies in other places that offer products and services of Microfinance Institutions, they may also consider other variables, such as their incentives and benefits.
Factors Influencing English Pronunciation Learning and Suggestions for Pronunciation Teaching
Authors: Seom Sokphal
Published: December 2023

English is regarded as an international or global language for communication and is used in many areas such as military, politics, education, business, diplomacy and science (Crystal, 2001; Heng, 2017; Igawa, 2008; Qi, 2016). Being able to communicate in English is advantageous as it is a passport for communication across languages and cultures. English was officially introduced into Cambodia’s education system by the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports (MoEYS) in 1993; however, many Cambodian teachers and students are still unable to use English appropriately and accurately (Mao, 2013).

Authors: Em Sereyrath , Nun Nel , Phann Sophea
Published: December 2023

Education is critical for all elements of a person’s life. Educational actors mainly involve teachers, students, school principals, and administration staff. Nevertheless, teachers are considered the most essential actors. Without teachers, the process of learning and teaching will surely come to a halt. It is not difficult to be a teacher, but it is far more difficult to become a competent one because there are numerous duties for a qualified teacher to perform. This article argues that qualified teachers in the 21st century should have various value-added qualities and responsibilities. The article discusses the essential requirements for qualified teachers in the 21st century and offers recommendations for teachers to equip themselves with knowledge, skills, and qualities required to keep pace with the fast-changing world.

Cambodia’s gender policy: An analysis of women and girls’ education strategies under the Neary Rattanak IV Strategic Plan (2014-2018)
Authors: Heng Molika
Published: December 2023

In 1999, Cambodia’s Ministry of Women’s Affairs established the first Neary Rattanak Strategic Plan to build Cambodian women’s capacity by offering them more opportunities and access to education. From early 1998 to 2017, Cambodia showed good progress in increasing girls’ school enrolment. Later in 2018, the final year of Neary Rattanak IV’s implementation, the percentage of girls’ enrolment in Cambodia’s primary schools declined. This study analyzes the implementation of education strategies in Neary Rattanak IV by using the seven steps of Mintrom’s (2012) policy implementation analysis to examine whether the strategies have been well implemented. From the analysis, it seems that the education strategies have indeed been successful in their implementation and have reached their targets. However, the study has discovered some potential obstacles and shortcomings that the government may have to act upon through its education and gender policy. Those shortcomings and difficulties, including traditional norms, discrimination against women in employment, and safety issues, have impacted the implementation of the education of women and girls in the Neary Rattanak IV Strategic Plan.
Challenges of English language learning and teaching in Cambodia: A case study of Kith Meng Brasat High School
Authors: Em Sereyrath
Published: December 2023

English has been included in school curricula in many countries, but the challenges of learning and teaching English remain. This study aims to find the challenges of learning and teaching English and solutions to solve the challenges in secondary education in Cambodia. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. A total of 250 students (52.40% were females) participated in a survey. The students reported that teachers’ qualities, study programs, learning and teaching materials, classroom activities, class size, and students’ self-learning attitude were the main problems in learning English. A school principal, a deputy principal, and three teachers of English who were interviewed expressed similar concerns regarding the teaching and learning of English. They requested the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport to provide them with school infrastructure, learning and teaching resources, and extra in-service teacher training workshops. This study recommends that future research with a larger sample size be conducted at other educational institutions across the country.

Teachers need to continually update their teaching skills and knowledge to keep up with the needs of students and the entire education sector. Many teachers are urged to engage in self-improvement to offer their students the best content and get the best outcomes. However, in the Cambodian context, there are several challenges that affect teachers’ continuing professional development (CPD). Key challenges include financial challenges and a lack of support from relevant institutions and stakeholders. As a major facilitator of CPD, the Cambodian government has been involved in various measures to facilitate CPD, especially in the higher education sector. This article discusses the involvement of the Cambodian government in promoting CPD in higher education. It also examines key challenges to CPD provision and offers recommendations to further improve CPD opportunities for Cambodian university teachers.
English proficiency: Key to educational opportunities for Cambodian students
Authors: Ngel Kimcheng
Published: December 2023

Cambodia has experienced some changes in the foreign language landscape in its recent history before having English as the most popular foreign language at present. However, research has shown that the English proficiency of Cambodians is low, which is troubling considering the role of English in educational opportunities. This article provides a brief historical background of foreign languages in Cambodia and explains how English opens doors to educational opportunities as it is the language of the internet and the Massive Open Online Courses. Moreover, as a global lingua franca, English serves as a language for overseas educational opportunities and research and publication. The article concludes with a word of caution regarding the embrace of English and the need to preserve the Khmer language.

Is mental health normalised in Norwegian news media?
Authors: Paulsen Ingeborg Hedda
Published: December 2023

News media can influence audience opinions. Thus, the media have enormous potential and responsibility when writing about societal issues, such as mental health. Mental health coverage has traditionally been criticised for creating stigma, as the topic is often presented in combination with violence and crime. Since the 1990s, researchers have found that more positive representations challenge negative portrayals, and that such representa- tions change the audience’s attitudes towards the issue. Few studies on the topic have been conducted in Norway; therefore, one cannot confirm or deny whether the exact coverage change is occurring. Using a quantitative framing analysis, this study argues that mental health issues were normalised in the two most-read online news sources, Verdens Gang (VG.no) and Norsk Rikskringkasting (NRK.no), in 2018–2021.
When the Utopian Performative Encounters Beauty
Authors: Skjoldager-Nielsen Daria
Published: December 2023

I remember the first time I came across the utopian performative: the butterflies in my stomach, the overwhelming feeling of hope and happiness it produced. Jill Dolan [2005] points to those moments during performances when the audience comes together and feels hopeful; moments that constitute inspiration for change: for the performer, the spectator, and maybe even the world – and which are often (understandably) politically or socially charged.But my experiences were different: my feeling of hope was not emerging after watching a political vision of the future, but during and after my encounters with beauty. I began to wonder: can a profound sense of beauty that brings the feeling of hope and love, also have the potential to change the world?In this article, I explore the aesthetics of the theatrical event and its effectiveness in bringing out utopian performatives. Theoretically, I draw on Erika Fischer-Lichte’s aesthetics of the performative to show how the language of performance analysis can access a theatrical (aesthetic) experience and on the theory of affect in performance to understand my experience; also, I supplement Dolan’s theory with Dorthe Jørgensen’s experience of beauty to extend her thinking into non-political experiences and grasping them more fully.As an example, I discuss Oratorium Dance Project (Lodz 2011).
“Ready to fly with a lust for life”
Authors: Tronstad Ragnhild
Published: December 2023

The Cultural Schoolbag (TCS) is a national programme designed to provide all school pupils in Norway access to professional art and culture. On average three times a year, in their school time, children and youth get to experience art and culture in various forms, spanning literature, film, music, visual arts, cultural heritage, theatre, and dance. To build and maintain Norway as a democracy is an explicit aim of the programme. Securing all children and youth equal access to professional art and culture regardless of geography, economy, religious or cultural background is but one aspect of its democratic scope. Also important is the belief that being exposed to art and culture is instrumental in educating future citizens who are able, ready, and willing to take active part in a democratic society. Reflecting this rather utopian vision of TCS, the county municipality of Vestfold used to launch their TSC programme under the motto: “Livslysten og flyvedyktig”, in English; “Ready to fly with a lust for life”.In what sense, however, do these utopian rationales influence the programme that is offered in the schools? How, exactly, may performance events and theatre experienced in TCS contribute to bringing up citizens that are “ready to fly with a lust for life”?Presenting an outline of current ideological, cultural political, and educational discourses surrounding TCS, this study addresses how, and to what extent, political and educational guidelines have an impact on its artistic programme. Offering two recent TCS productions as examples, I discuss how the utopian spaces provided by these theatre and performance events prepare the grounds for enactment and reflection that may take performative effect in influencing the lives and futures of the participating children and youth.
Older people, discrimination and citizenship: What specific insights in light of disability law on the national and international level?
Authors: Mercat-Bruns Marie , Gründler Tatiana
Published: December 2023

Our research first delves into the complexity of ageism in law to understand to what extent the existing legal norms are sufficient to encounter the stereotypes linked to old age and the individual as well as systemic discrimination which ensues. According to European and national case law, age is an ambiguous ground of discrimination law and masks the complexity of age discrimination. It seems the scope of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with disabilities overlaps with some difficulties of older people in terms of rights but the CRPD also illustrates how an international convention can be a game changer, creating an impetus to gain insight on the particular characteristics of disability, but not age. The concept of disability discrimination has in turn enriched the way we think of discrimination in a more relational way. In order to prove the inadequacies of the current international legal framework on the human rights of older people, the second part of our study will illustrate how the right to vote exemplifies the challenges of age discrimination in terms of citizenship and full participation of older people in the democratic process, demonstrating the need to adopt a tailored international convention for older individuals.
Patrick Fougeyrollas rencontre Jean‑Luc Simon
Authors: Fougeyrollas Patrick , Simon Jean-Luc
Published: December 2023

Dans cet entretien, Patrick Fougeyrollas, anthropologue spécialisé dans le domaine du handicap et des droits humains et Jean-Luc Simon, militant et formateur engagé dans le mouvement de défense des droits des personnes en situation de handicap retracent la dynamique socio-historique qui a mené à l’adoption de la Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapés (CDPH) par l’ONU. Cette législation internationale est la première à avoir été revendiquée et développée « par et pour » le public concerné soit les personnes handicapées elles-mêmes. Elle représente une source d’inspiration ancrée dans les savoirs expérientiels pour l’affirmation des droits humains des personnes âgées. Les résistances et avancées des contextes et acteurs ayant permis l’adoption d’une convention spécifique aux personnes handicapées s’avèrent être des informations très instructives et utiles pour une réflexion critique sur la pertinence et les enjeux d’une nouvelle convention spécifique aux personnes âgées. Le possible chevauchement de ces deux conventions est discuté ainsi que les risques et les conditions gagnantes soit de réouvrir la CDPH qui couvre déjà tous les âges pour y préciser les particularités des personnes de grand âge, soit de s’orienter vers une convention spécifique aux aînés, soit une démarche hybride. Dans les possibles scénarios évoqués dans cet entretien, la nécessaire participation active des représentants par et pour les personnes âgées est considérée comme un déterminant majeur de l’affirmation et des conditions d’exercice de leurs droits humains
Review of the personal collection of A. A. Bashmakov and M. N. Bashmakova in the Bakhmeteff Archive of Russian & East European Culture
Authors: Beklemisheva Maria Mikhailovna
Published: December 2023

The subject of the study is the archival fund of A. A. Bashmakov and M. N. Bashmakova in the famous archive of Russian emigration - the Bakhmeteff Archive. Most of the documents consist of correspondence, manuscripts of essays, lectures, copies of publications by A. A. Bashmakov and M. N. Bashmakova created during their life in Paris (1924-1958). After the death of Maria Nikolaevna, Alexander Chekan, priest of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Paris, donated their collection to the archive. The purpose of the article is to introduce the contents of this archival fund to Russian researchers, which is of significant interest to specialists in the history of emigration, foreign archival Rossica, and the history of the Civil War. The article presents documents which highlight Mr. and Mrs. Bashmakov's family ties, circle of contacts, scientific and social activities, publications. The author reviewed an extensive archival material, not introduced into scientific circulation before, gave an overview of it, noted a number of remarkable documents that provide new information about the activities of A. A. Bashmakov and his wife in pre-revolutionary Russia and in emigration, and their socio-political views. Despite the presence of several articles about A. A. Bashmakov, valuable archival materials remained outside the field of view of researchers, including his personal collection in the Bakhmeteff Archive. The materials of this archive, difficult to access for Russian researchers, have not been used before in scientific works. In addition to issues related to A. A. Bashmakov’s contacts with other émigré figures, the article is the first to study in detail the origin and content of the memoirs of his wife M. N. Bashmakova and daughter N. A. Bashmakova.
Ordinal Regression Model of Parking Search Time
Authors: Simićević Jelena , Vidović Nataša , Đorić Vladimir
Published: December 2023

Parking search reduces the quality of parking service, as well as traffic network level of service, due to additionally generated traffic. Parking search also entails other negative effects, primarily ecological, social and economic. Even though the importance of this problem has been noted in the past, there is an impression that this issue has not been sufficiently researched and should be additionally analysed in order to properly understand this phenomenon. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to study the factors affecting parking search time that can be influenced through a set of parking management measures. In this paper, an ordinal regression model was developed to estimate these parameters and it was fitted using empirical data collected by interviewing drivers. Main model results show that parking occupancy has the highest impact upon the value of parking search time, indicating the significance of defining proper policies and measures aimed at reaching targeted parking occupancy. Parking frequency is the second parameter observed to be significant, demonstrating the importance of implementing proper parking information systems.
Il ruolo del teatro nella contesa fra Eschine e Demostene: la prospettiva diplomatica
Authors: Gazzano Francesca
Published: December 2023

Abstract The place of theatre in the Aeschines-Demosthenes dispute: the diplomatic perspective In all studies on the affinities and intersections, both thematic and performative, between oratory and theatre, the contrasting orations of Aeschines and Demosthenes concerning the embassies to Philip of 346 BC and the mutual accusations about the handling of negotiations hold an essential place. In this set of speeches, which includes – in addition to Aeschines’ Against Timarchus and the two orations On the False Embassy (343) – those of 330 Against Ctesiphon (Aeschines) and On the Crown (Demosthenes), the theatre and its performers are, however, represented ambiguously, if not negatively. This essay aims to highlight how this apparent paradox finds a possible solution by considering the concrete role that Athenian theatre and actors played in the difficult negotiations between Athens and Philip. The diplomatic perspective allows us to shed more light on the motivations that led the two rival orators to use theatre as a weapon to fight each other.
