Death Penalty in the Lithuanian SSR in 1950–1990: Legal Grounds and Periods
Authors: Indrišionis Darius
Published: September 2024

The article reviews execution of death row inmates from the Lithuanian SSR between 1950 and 1990. It describes the procedure, the extension of the legal framework governing the enforcement of the death penalty, and the underlying trends.
Four periods in the enforcement of the death penalty are discussed: 1) 1950–1952, when the majority of the death row inmates were shot down at the MGB internal prison in Vilnius; 2) 1952–1956, when the death row inmates were transported for execution to Butyrka prison in Moscow; 3) 1956–1969, when executions were carried out in Vilnius (criminals were shot dead in Lukiškių prison and political prisoners were shot dead in the KGB interrogation cell); 4) 1969–1990, when the death row inmates from the Lithuanian SSR profile were executed in the interrogation cell in Minsk (Byelorussian SSR).
Between 1950 and 1990, 590 people in one or other way related to the Lithuanian SSR were shot or hanged; this figure includes 116 death row inmates shot in Moscow in 1952–1956, 87 death row inmates shot in Minsk in 1967–1990, 29 death row inmates convicted by Kaliningrad and Kirov courts and executed in Vilnius, and 8 Soviet Army officers sentenced to death and shot in Vilnius.
The analysis of the personal stories of inmates and the dynamics of executions show that there was an essential breakthrough about 1956 when the number of political prisoners dropped considerably while the number of criminals started increasing rapidly. This trend allows us to explain a new role of the death penalty in the overall punishment system after 1956, specifically that it predominantly became a tool for combating crime, rather than for annihilating political opponents.
June 1941 uprising in Panevėžys county in Krekenava township: events, participants, destinies
Authors: Jaskelevičius Tadas
Published: September 2024

Preparation for the anti-Soviet uprising in Krekenava district. was active and well organized. There were frequent underground meetings and a plan for the liberation of Krekenava was prepared. The proactive rebels made ready on the afternoon of June 23, when two of their groups gathered in the forest near the town. The attack took place from two directions and did not take place without casualties on both sides. At least two rebels and several Soviet activists, militiamen and Red Army soldiers were killed in the battle. During the shooting Krekenava was reached by retreating Red Army units. The rebels had to abandon the town. On June24, 1941, the parish was occupied by the Germans. The rebels did not rush to disperse, believing that their work was not yet finished. They continued to carry out arrests of Soviet activists or those suspected in this way, and fought against the soldiers of the retreating Red Army. However, all of their actions were already controlled by the Germans and were only possible because they met the needs of the new occupier. A portion of the rebels contributed to the German-initiated holocaust. There is insufficient archival data to determine the exact number of contributors and their motivation. There is also a lack of data on the fact that some more organised anti-nazi movement would have been in place in the state. In 1944, when Lithuania was re-occupied by the Soviet Union, most of the rebels remained in their homes, of which about half (1944-1957) were arrested. They have all been criminalized and convicted. In contrast to the previous study in The Pine, the Krekenava rebels were given milder sentences, and no executions were carried out., After Stalin’s death, many rebels were released after the amnesty was introduced. Many of them returned to Lithuania.

Published: September 2024

The Vanier Institute of the Family is pleased to present Families Count 2024. Drawing on the latest statistics and research, this publication informs readers about how families in Canada have changed (and not changed) over the past few decades. Families Count 2024 is organized into four main sections based on the components of the Vanier Institute’s Family Diversities and Wellbeing Framework: Family Structure, Family Work, Family Identity, and Family Wellbeing. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the United Nations International Year of the Family. Throughout the year, the Vanier Institute is working with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) to recognize and articulate its global agenda to support family wellbeing in societies around the world. The Vanier Institute published the first edition of Families Count in 1994 to provide a foundation for the discussions and debates of that year. This year’s 30th anniversary provides an opportunity to re-engage in these important conversations, which we support with new information and research. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has also provided momentum and focus for Families Count 2024. In 2015, Canada joined 192 member states in adopting this framework for action at the United Nations General Assembly. Many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the heart of this agenda are closely intertwined with family wellbeing, addressing issues such as poverty, hunger, inequalities, and education. At the halfway point between Canada’s adoption of the framework and its end date of 2030, timely and accurate information on families can help inform actions that will drive progress toward the goals. Families Count 2024 presents data and findings in a way that is accessible to a wide range of audiences. The goals of this publication are to enhance the national understanding of families; to stimulate conversations among policymakers, educators, researchers, and journalists; and to strengthen the evidence base to facilitate the development of policies, programs, and services to enhance the wellbeing of all families in Canada.

US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2004
Authors: Meyer Fabian
Published: September 2024

Die Terroranschläge des 11. Septembers 2001 stellten einen großen Einschnitt in der amerikanischen Politik dar, weshalb der Umgang mit diesen in dem darauffolgenden Präsidentschaftswahlkampf 2004 zu einem der zentralsten Diskussionsthemen wurde. Diese Arbeit untersucht aus Sicht der Opposition der Demokraten, inwiefern es deren Präsidentschaftskandidaten John F. Kerry bezüglich dieses Themas rhetorisch gelang, sich gegenüber dem gestärkten Amtsinhaber George W. Bush als eine Wahlalternative darzustellen. Zur Kontextualisierung werden dabei zunächst die Maßnahmen Bushs sowie die Oppositionsarbeit der Demokraten unmittelbar nach den Terroranschlägen beleuchtet. Danach erfolgt die Quellenanalyse und -interpretation einer Rede Kerrys aus einer kulturgeschichtlich-politischen Perspektive, um dessen Wahlkampfstrategie herauszuarbeiten. Hierbei wird die Wichtigkeit des Aspekts der Moral deutlich, welcher sich durch den gesamten Wahlkampf zieht. Deshalb handelt es sich bei dieser Arbeit auch um einen Beitrag zur Moral History. Als Fazit ergibt sich, dass Faktoren wie die kooperative Opposition der Demokraten sowie die Übernahme des konservativen Moralkonstruktes von Bush dazu beigetragen haben, dass sich Kerry während des Wahlkamps in zentralen Aspekten nicht von Bush abgegrenzt hat.

Authors: Henzelmann Martin
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the presence of the Ukrainian language in Poland and Germany. Language in public space is the subject of numerous studies, and different questions are in its foreground, among which multilingualism analysis enjoys particular popularity. In this study, we follow the theory of semiotic landscapes, which is about evaluating a language in interaction with other (visual) impressions. Some theoretical approaches are presented before selected examples of the use of Ukrainian in Poland and Germany are documented. In both countries, the material which forms the corpus for the study was collected in the period from February 2022 up to March 2023, including some boards with inscriptions in Ukrainian that can be found at railway stations in Poland and Germany and at the Warsaw airport. These inscriptions are important for the refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine since 2022, be-cause they facilitate a lot their orientation abroad. Methodologically, the study focuses on the evaluation of representative samples from this corpus by applying a nexus analysis, which is about combining different analytical perspectives with each other, including sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis, and other components. New insights are driven from the intersections of the analyzed components. Grounded on the nexus analyses, this paper proposes a typology of selected examples, which reveal common aspects, but also significant differences between sign boards in Ukrainian met in Poland and in Germany.

Authors: Lingmin Wei , Abdul Ghani Khatipah Binti , Islam Aminul
Published: September 2024

This research sought to investigate the link between Chinese rural school administrators' leadership philosophies and their employees' level of satisfaction. The researchers examined the connection between job happiness and leadership styles using a variety of ideas. To analyse the data, they used information from 1438 instructors and 151 rural schools. The findings demonstrated that, whereas passive avoidant leadership had a negative correlation with work satisfaction, transformational leadership practices raised teachers' levels of job satisfaction. Additionally, the research found that the emotional aspect of workers' commitment to the organization tempered some relationships between leadership styles and job satisfaction. Certain leadership styles were associated with all components of national culture, except for masculinity. The results suggest that when putting leadership ideas into practice in rural schools, educators and legislators should take these findings into account. To fully comprehend the intricate connection between leadership philosophies and work happiness in remote schools, further investigation is required.

This study focuses on the prospects and innovative pathways for the development of the silver-haired sports economy in the context of an ageing society. The proportion of the global population over 65 years old is expected to increase from 9% in 2019 to 16% in 2050, highlighting the huge potential of the silver-hair economy. This paper adopts a mixed research methodology, combining spatial econometric modelling and rootedness theory, to explore in depth the current development status, trend forecasts and innovation paths of the silver-haired sports economy. The study constructs a silver-hair sports economy assessment system containing 22 indicators, and uses panel data to analyse the development level of 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China from 2010 to 2023, and the results show that the average annual growth rate of silver-hair sports economy reaches 15.7%, but the gap between Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangdong and the central and western regions reaches 1.8 times. Analyses based on the Spatial Durbin Model show that every 1 percentage point increase in silver-haired sports consumption can drive 0.3 percentage points of GDP growth in neighbouring regions. Through a Delphi method research of 150 industry experts, it is predicted that the size of China's silver-haired sports market will exceed RMB 3 trillion in 2030, increasing its share of GDP to 2%. The qualitative study reveals three innovative paths: intelligent transformation, ecosystem construction, and cross-border integration, and proposes specific strategies such as "integration of sports and medicine" and "social platform for silver sports". The results of the study provide data support and theoretical basis for the formulation of policies for the development of the silver sports economy, and provide important insights into the industrial transformation of an aging society.

Firstly, a questionnaire was designed and then distributed to 100 male and female teachers, of which 100 responses were received. Moreover, semi-structured interviews with the ten teachers were conducted to explore their deep views of the role and importance of Blended Learning. The findings showed that the teachers appreciate the value of Blended Learning in developing them professionally using Blended Learning techniques. The teachers reflected their positive views about independent learning using computers and the internet through assignment methods, classroom discussions, and projects that make their learners critical thinkers and autonomous. Teachers said they can use computers and online activities to develop assignments and prepare lessons and examination papers. Also, they are becoming fast in providing feedback to their students. The study concluded that male and female teachers who do not use Blended Learning techniques or are not computer-trained are comparatively less autonomous than the others. The recommendations are redesigning courses to identify strengths and weaknesses and directing future learning regarding blended techniques.
El delicado tratamiento del consumo de drogas en el trabajo
Authors: San Martín Rodríguez Álvaro Javier
Published: September 2024

El consumo de sustancias psicoactivas dentro de la empresa es una lacra que supera los intereses empresariales y se adentra en la esfera privada de la persona trabajadora. El actual marco regulatorio laboral que aborda esta problemática presenta manifiestos obstáculos que lejos de aportar la resolución más eficaz para ambas partes, genera inseguridad jurídica y aleja al empleado de un pilar fundamental en la solución: el trabajo. Un análisis profundo de la operatividad de su regulación, junto con las alternativas preventivas y rehabilitadoras que pueden ser aplicadas desde la esfera laboral, puede aportar no solamente la solución más efectiva sino también la más humana al problema. Con el objeto de demostrar la obsolescencia de la actual regulación normativa en la materia señalada, así como de los beneficios de alternativas preventivas y rehabilitadoras (con muy poco uso en España), será seguida una exposición que parta de materias como los factores que pueden llevar al abuso de las sustancias, la calificación en Derecho que procede de esta problemática en el seno de una relación laboral o la distinta naturaleza jurídica de las maneras de intervención. Con este planteamiento, será defendido desde una perspectiva novedosa (a la vista de la poca cobertura doctrinal y la escasa luz que arroja la jurisprudencia) la necesidad de una reforma normativa de calado que abandone la senda sancionadora para seguir el camino prevencionista y rehabilitador en la problemática del consumo de drogas en el ámbito laboral.

LAS PÍLDORAS VIRTUALES COMO ACTIVIDAD COMPLEMENTARIA EN LA ENSEÑANZA DEL DERECHO
Authors: Clavijo Suntura Joel Harry
Published: September 2024

El trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la implementación de las píldoras virtuales como actividad complementaria en la enseñanza del derecho. En ese marco, se comenzará el trabajo con una breve introducción sobre el estado del arte doctrinal y el avance que ha tenido esta herramienta en el último cuarto de siglo. Luego, se analizará su implementación que de forma paulatina se ha incrementado en el último tiempo. Asimismo, se realizará un estudio sobre la terminología que se caracteriza por no ser uniforme y su definición que de forma general tiene objetivos parecidos. Igualmente, se valorará el tiempo recomendable de duración para que sea considerada como una herramienta útil. Posteriormente, se debatirá su ámbito de aplicación y los retos que conlleva su aplicación en función de los actores nativos y no nativos digitales. Finalmente, el trabajo concluye con una serie de conclusiones sobre el tema propuesto. En esa línea, se priorizará su utilización como un recurso complementario válido no solo para la modalidad de enseñanza no presencial que comprende la enseñanza sincrónica y asincrónica, sino también para la modalidad de enseñanza presencial. En cuanto a la metodología de trabajo se recurre especialmente a los métodos analítico e interpretativo y comparativo.

From the state’s development promise to the uncertain lives of farmers in eastern Thailand
Authors: Benjanavee Kampanart
Published: September 2024

This research paper aims to examine the state's development promise in relation to the Eastern Economic Corridor development (EEC) project and its impact on people's livelihoods. The study utilized a qualitative approach and ethnographic research to collect data on the operation of the EEC project and its impact on people's livelihoods. The key informants, who were actively involved in the movement for farm safety, were 25 farmers from a farmers network in Kabinburi district, Prachinburi province, and Phanom Sarakham district, Chachoengsao province. The study found that the EEC project has been a crucial development undertaking in Thailand since 2017. The Thai state has promised that the EEC project will provide a better future for the people, stating that the operation of the project will focus on investing in infrastructure, providing investment privileges, eliminating investment barriers, and establishing a centralized authority. However, the local people's experiences with the EEC project demonstrate the formation of unequal power relations that have led to an uneven distribution of the project's benefits. Although local communities are hopeful that the EEC project will provide access to new markets, they still fear the uncertainty of their lives due to various state mechanisms established in the project, which prevent them from participating in the local decision-making process. Some local farmers have experienced an expansion of factories and waste disposal plants, causing fear of pollution on farms, and other non-agricultural land use activities in the EEC backyard, or peripheral areas of the EEC project.
