Representation of Vulnerable Adults in Finland in the Light of the CRPD

The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of the representation of the vulnerable adults in Finland and to analyze whether the legal system lives up to the expectations of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The Convention lays down that a person with disabilities must have an equal opportunity to make decisions and receive the support they need in exercising their legal capacity. The representation of vulnerable adults in Finland is based on several statutes. Private representation plays a significant role as negotiorum gestio and field-specific statutes are important in health care and social welfare matters. Officially confirmed representation is based on the Act on the Continuing Power of Attorney and the Guardianship Service Act that cover representation both in financial and personal matters, but clearly have an emphasis on financial matters. The article argues that in principle the Finnish adult protection model follows the step-by-step approach required by the CRPD. However, whether and to what extent it respects the will and preferences of an adult depends on the subject matter as the legislation in force is ambiguous. Furthermore, in respect to private representation the issue of safeguards has not been resolved.

Critical Reflections on Current Status of Scholarship in Islamic Psychology – Challenges and Solutions
Authors: Rassool G. Hussein
Published: February 2024

Islamic psychology, aimed at synthetising Islamic values with psychological theories, faces significant challenges despite its promise. This article presents a comprehensive review of the literature, revealing significant challenges that impede the development of an authentic Islamic psychology. The critical analysis, conducted through a qualitative review, is based on primary and secondary sources. The review critically challenges the issues of blind imitation, partialism, apologism, contradiction, epistemological biases and deconstructionism within contemporary Islamic psychology scholarship. The article emphasises their impact on knowledge creation and thought development in Islamic psychology. The key insights and recommendations resulting from the analysis of Islamic psychology scholarship include raising awareness of epistemological biases, critically evaluating assumptions, engaging directly with primary sources, embracing diverse perspectives, promoting collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches, and emphasising empirical validation. Implementing these recommendations can lead to a more authentic, inclusive and evidence-based approach to Islamic psychology. By addressing these challenges, the article suggests pathways toward the development of authentic Islamic psychology, fostering a more robust and integrated understanding that aligns with Islamic values.
Comunicação contraintuitiva no marketing social
Authors: Andreoli Tais Pasquotto , Britto Caroline Conrado de , Kawano Diogo Rógora
Published: February 2024

Objetivo: Analisar a efetividade da comunicação contraintuitiva no marketing social em termos de recepção, avaliação e resposta pelo consumidor.
Método: Abordagem hipotético-dedutiva, com método experimental, realizado em três etapas subsequentes: as duas primeiras exploratórias, com a coleta de dados implícitos de rastreamento ocular – eye tracking (n=22) e de condutância de pele (n=17), seguidas da explicativa (n=72), com coleta de dados autodeclarados. Foram comparadas duas campanhas de arrecadação de doação vinculadas a mesma causa social (moradores de rua em contexto de exclusão social), diferenciando-se, entretanto, o protagonismo: intuitivo, caracterizado pela mulher cisgênero branca, versus contraintuitivo, caracterizado pela mulher transsexual negra.
Originalidade/Relevância: Ineditismo do esforço de intersecção das temáticas da comunicação no âmbito social e da comunicação contraintuitiva, que se apresenta como ainda mais importante pelo âmbito de investigação: frente ao principal interessado, o público-alvo. Ainda, ressalta-se a abordagem hipotético-dedutiva, complementada pela adoção de técnicas neurocientíficas, tais como o rastreamento ocular e a condutância da pele, que contribuiu para a agregação de importantes evidências empíricas, de forma mais abrangente.
 Resultados: Pôde-se confirmar a maior efetividade da campanha social contraintuitiva no sentido comunicacional, atestando essa influência em termos amplos, com melhores atribuições na condutância da pele e em todas as quatro autodeclarações, conseguindo validar cinco das seis hipóteses levantadas.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: O estudo contribui para endossar a importância da comunicação contraintuitiva, estendendo seu potencial de aplicação, como no âmbito social.

Originalidade/Relevância: Esta pesquisa parte da concepção de que comportamentos cotidianos são potenciais alvos de mudança e da lacuna que há para discussão e proposta de intervenções emocionais ao comportamento voltado ao consumo sustentável, pauta cada vez mais pertinente.
Investigating global brand preference bias among low-status consumers
Authors: Bizarrias Flavio Santino , Strehlau Vivian Iara , Cucato Jussara da Silva Teixeira , Moraes Sergio Garrido , Strehlau Suzane
Published: February 2024

Objective - This study reconciles system justification theory (SJT), intersectionality awareness (IA), and dual attitudes (DA) to determine the conscious-unconscious relationship between consumer identity and global brand preference bias in low-status consumers.
Method - We performed three experimental studies: First, we observed the discrepancy between explicit/conscious and implicit/unconscious (DA) global brand attitudes according to established social order (SJT), even if a status quo bias exerts influence. Second, we propose the moderation of the disidentification, which emphasizes the rejection of local elements in this process. Lastly, we propose the mitigation of the disidentification effects through status quo awareness, or Intersectionality Awareness (IA).
Relevance/originality – The literature of low-status consumers’ identity relation to brand preference is still developing when tapping multiple layers of perspectives, such as disidentification and identity awareness, and conscious and unconscious processes. The comprehension of this interaction allows a better understanding of the global brand preference bias.
Main results – We identified conflicting conscious and unconscious global brand attitudes, potentialized through disidentification with domestic values, those that represent the home country consumer, although their effect can be mitigated by intersectionality awareness.
Theoretical/methodological contributions – Theoretically, this study advances the knowledge about global brand preference, including the status quo/awareness theory to better understand the customer-brand relationship. Methodologically, we advanced by employing an unconscious-based technique to address the phenomenon.
Social/management contributions – The study explains brand preference bias through the mechanism of disidentification, and their control through social awareness, expanding practitioners’ horizons beyond brand strategies, to consider deep human identity mechanisms. For the individuals and the society, the study proposes understanding on the potential side effects of consumer-brand relationships, presenting coping strategies to deal with this phenomenon, promoting more equality and inclusion.

As métricas de qualidade em sistemas críticos são medidas e indicadores usados para avaliar e garantir a qualidade, segurança e confiabilidade desses sistemas. Em setores como saúde, aviação, energia nuclear e indústria automotiva, onde falhas podem ter consequências graves, é fundamental ter métricas adequadas para monitorar e melhorar o desempenho destes sistemas. Este estudo tem como objetivo mapear métricas úteis para avaliar a qualidade de tais sistemas. Utilizando um mapeamento sistemático da literatura, identificamos métricas relevantes que podem orientar stakeholders, como gerentes de projetos e engenheiros de software, na tomada de decisões ao construir esses sistemas e principalmente contribuir com novas métricas para análise de elementos críticos. As métricas também são essenciais para avaliar a manutenibilidade e a escalabilidade do sistema, permitindo que ele seja atualizado, corrigido e adaptado às necessidades em constante mudança. Além disso, ajudam a cumprir regulamentações específicas de setores e a demonstrar a conformidade com normas de segurança. Por fim, as métricas permitem a melhoria contínua, monitorando o desempenho e o progresso ao longo do tempo.

Published: February 2024

O presente trabalho busca tratar de um tema íntimo e silencioso, mas que necessita de um olhar do Poder Legislativo para a exposição obrigatória da privacidade da mulher, no tocante ao casamento, a seu estado civil e até onde expor essa condição diante da sociedade fere sua intimidade, e seu direito da personalidade, previsto na Constituição Federal Brasileira e no Código Civil Brasileiro, perante si e aos outros. Os objetivos deste estudo são relacionar as leis que estão em vigor, as quais protegem os direitos da personalidade e do resguardo à vida privada; analisar que o preconceito ainda existe apesar de passados 45 anos da promulgação da lei que implantou o divórcio no país. O tipo de pesquisa realizado é exploratório e descritivo.

Authors: Janicka-Szyszko Renata
Published: February 2024

The article depicts the image of hunters in memoirs of those who used to hunt. There has also been done the attempt of analysis of the linguistic and cultural creation of hunters in the world presented in “The Happy Days “ by Stafan Badeni and “ Memoirs of Hunters “ by Julian Ejsmond.The analysis of the excerpted parts shows that in both works the image of the hunter is complex. The writers point out that the final and total score of the hunting is not the main purpose of the hunter. Both writers signify strong feelings and emotions experienced in contact with the nature, spending time with people sharing the same passions, cultivating centuries- long traditions and the observation of the St. Hubert cult in particular; emphasize also the uniqueness of experiences witnessed only by those connected with hunting. Analyzing the linguistic creation there have been used various stylistic devices (epithets, idioms, metaphoric expressions , images preserved in culture).
COLLECTIVE INTEREST IN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Authors: Jakimowicz Wojciech
Published: February 2024

The article attempts to answer the question whether the category of collective interest, known to other branches of law, is also justified in the area of administrative law. The analysis of the content of various categories of interests in the legal system against the background of the axiology of administrative law leads to the conclusion that the concept of collective interest is not needed in the area of this law. The functions it could fulfill in theoretical considerations and in the processes of implementing law do not go beyond the limits of the functions performed by the categories of individual interest and public interest collectively recognized in administrative law.
THE COLLECTIVE INTEREST AND THE UNIVERSALITY OF INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANISATION STANDARDS
Authors: Maggi-Germain Nicole
Published: February 2024

The creation of the International Labour Organisation in 1919 led to the setting up of a “world order” based on a set of values presented as universal. Today, it mobilises not only the figure of the worker, but also that of the person or Man. The reference to human rights is – like the reference to the worker a century ago – so many categories of thought structuring representations of a certain world order. One of the challenges for the ILO is certainly its ability to think in terms of social justice, while at the same time being the bearer of a social model whose universality cannot be postulated. Being able to take into account the existence of non-institutionalised forms of collective solidarity, so as to enable peoples not to subordinate their own culture, is certainly the main challenge of the forthcoming centenary.
Socjologiczne spojrzenie na nabożeństwa majowe przy przydrożnych kapliczkach
Authors: Szast Mateusz
Published: February 2024

The article has a theoretical-descriptive-research character and is based on an analysis of the literature in the field of religiosity as well as social research methodology. The issue of analyzing the sociological contexts of Marian prayer services during the month of May is not often addressed in social science research due to its interdisciplinary nature as well as the lack of interest in cultural capital in the area of religiosity. May folk prayer services at shrines or statues, understood as a spontaneous gathering of the faithful to sing Marian hymns and litanies, reveal intervening phenomena that include the formation of social ties, the construction of identity based on preferred values and social norms, which even today, in an era of a globalized world, shed valuable light on the shape of social relations and the importance of culture in the consciousness of Poles. The presented research material was collected during an open, participatory and uncontrolled observation, when in May 2022 I observed prayer gatherings at a roadside chapel, while in 2023 I observed people praying inside a former church building, a wooden stationary chapel belonging to the same parish.

Authors:   University of Economics - Varna, Varna, Bulgaria, Georgieva Tanya
Published: February 2024

The growing uncertainty of the external environment presents economic organizations in agriculture with new challenges for building sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential of the public toolkit in Bulgaria to stimulate and demotivate market risk management in agricultural holdings. A set of indicators was synthesized to assess the potential of publicly funded instruments to impact farming strategies. Based on secondary data analysis, it is concluded that market risk management support is entirely designed to address the consequences of risk events and has a high potential to constrain producers' risk prevention and mitigation initiatives.
Fish and Seafood Markets in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors:   University of Economics – Varna, Varna, Bulgaria, Shivarov Aleksandar
Published: February 2024

The fish and seafood industry, which includes the production, processing, distribution and consumption of fish and seafood products, is an important part of the European blue economy. Europe is one of the largest consumers of fish and seafood in the world and, because of its diverse seafood preferences, it imports a considerable amount of seafood from other parts of the world. At the same time, there are significant differences between EU member states in terms of fish consumption and production levels. This study focuses on a group of six Central and Eastern European countries with the lowest levels of seafood consumption. The article reveals unique combinations of factors that determine demand for fisheries and aquaculture products, despite the presumed levelling effects of the single market and global supply chains. In this fragmented market, the main players are small and medium-sized enterprises that specialise in trading and processing broad groups of products and are able to integrate into complex supply chains. The overview of the seafood markets of Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia serves as a step towards a better understanding of the interplay between global and local market forces
ESG Factors and ESG Risk in Bank Lending
Authors:   University of Economics - Varna, Varna, Bulgaria, Marinova Rumyana
Published: February 2024

Credit risk assessment, management and reporting are central to the bank lending process. This publication argues that new requirements related to the reporting of specific indicators related to sustainability will be a driver of change in bank lending. The role of ESG factors will become more and more significant, which requires banks to implement in the evaluation criteria of their lending process an ESG assessment of the financed businesses in the context of the EU taxonomy for sustainable activity. The results of the research show that there are significant differences between the studied Bulgarian banks in terms of their reported asset ratios that are or are not within the scope of the taxonomy. This leads to the conclusion that assessing the specific ESG risks of financed businesses will be a serious challenge for banks.
Research on Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty from the Use of Digital Channels for Purchasing Insurance Products in Bulgaria
Authors:   University of Economics – Varna, Varna, Bulgaria, Yaneva Tonina
Published: February 2024

The innovative high-tech solutions, implemented in the processes of insurance companies, enhance efficiency and their impact and return on investment are more easily measurable and assessable. However, considering the specific nature of insurance services and a customer-centric approach, particular attention should also be paid to the perceived benefits and customer satisfaction with the use of digital channels for purchasing insurance. Customer loyalty becomes a potential source of market and financial prosperity, due to the significance for an insurance company to maintain long- term relationships and effectively manage a large customer base. Customer loyalty towards the brand in the insurance sector inspires a considerable interest among managers and justifies research through the lens of the digital transformation of sales.

A adoção em massa de smartphones está remodelando o mercado de saúde digital. Entre as soluções tecnológicas empregadas nesse mercado, existem aquelas específicas para agendamento de consultas médicas. No entanto, observamos que as soluções existentes ainda são centradas no profissional. Neste trabalho, primeiro (i) categorizamos os modelos de agendamento existentes. Em seguida, (ii) apresentamos um estudo de caso do aplicativo móvel MedBe, que adota o modelo de Agendamento 4.0 para o agendamento de consultas centrado no paciente. Tal estudo se deu baseado na Teoria do Foco no Cliente, que leva em conta a satisfação do cliente durante todo o desenvolvimento e avaliação do software. Nesse contexto, empregamos a técnica de autoavaliação UXUG-AP e uma pesquisa quantitativa usando um questionário baseado nos indicadores e sentenças TAM. Por fim, (iii) abordamos as implicações de segurança digital no modelo de Agendamentos 4.0 sob a ótica da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD). Nossos resultados demonstram que o MedBe atende 84% dos itens da técnica UXUG-AP. Em termos de usabilidade, nossa pesquisa mostra que 68,6% dos participantes consideram o MedBe fácil de usar e 62,9% discordam que usar o aplicativo requer muito esforço mental. Por fim, propomos e implementamos novas funcionalidades para a conformidade do MedBe com a LGPD.

Allegro als die größte Online-Plattform in Polen mit eigenen, quasi-autonomen Regeln
Authors: Dobosz Damian
Published: February 2024

Online platforms are defined as intermediaries for the economic exchange of goods and services. They aim to connect users with each other so that contracts can be concluded between them. This article discusses how the largest online platform in Poland, i.e. Allegro, works. It discusses the conditions for the participation of users, the available modes of concluding contracts on Allegro, the course of the transaction and its implementation, the feedback system (rating system), the dispute resolution methods offered by Allegro, the additional guarantees for buyers offered by Allegro and the possibility of blocking or cancellation of a user's account by Allegro. The scope of regulation (by Allegro) of relations between Allegro users leads to a reduction in the scope of application of the provisions of the Polish Civil Code. The online platform offers buyer-friendly internal legal solutions that are designed to function much more efficiently and effectively than the institutions of applicable law. In this way, users can effectively pursue their claims via Allegro without having to rely on the support of the state apparatus to enforce their claims.
Observance of Human Rights When Using Artificial Intelligence in the Activities of a Legal Entity
Authors: Martsenko Nataliia , Hera Valentyna
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the article is to highlight the issue of human rights observance in the context of use of Artificial Intelligence (hereinafter - AI) in the activities of a legal entity. It is substantiated that given the active introduction of AI into the processes of organizing the work of a legal entity, the issue of human rights observance in the activities of a legal entity is of particular relevance and requires in-depth interdisciplinary research (from the perspective of law, philosophy, technology, morality, etc.). It is established that the use of AI in the activities of a legal entity allows implementing the latest corporate governance practices, but, despite this, it creates a risk of violation of the most vulnerable human rights which may be violated due to the use of inefficient management methods in combination with the latest technologies. The author substantiates that the use of AI in the activities of a legal entity should be in compliance with human rights and privacy protection. When using machine learning algorithms for decision-making by a legal entity, it is necessary to ensure that the algorithm does not discriminate against people based on their race or social origin, gender, age or other characteristics. In general, the introduction of AI into the activities of a legal entity should be phased in and carried out taking into account the individual needs and capabilities of legal entities. To ensure effective implementation of AI in the activities of a legal entity, it is necessary to conduct research and testing of new technologies, and also to provide training for employees of legal entities in the use of AI technologies. Therefore, in order for AI to truly benefit society, it is necessary that the activities of AI comply with the fundamental rights of a person, the AI mechanism is legally recognised as an object of social relations, and autonomy control in the use of mechanisms is ensured. Introduction of AI into the business sector has significant potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs at various stages of legal entities' activities, but such technologies should be used in accordance with ethical and legal requirements, ensure the protection of human rights and confidentiality, and be tailored to individual needs and capabilities.
