Wartime Constitutionalism and the Politics of Constitutional Review in Ukraine
Authors: Nekoliak Andrii , Nekoliak Roman
Published: August 2024

On 18 July 2024, Ukraine’s Constitutional Court issued a decision concerning the rights of the accused in criminal proceedings under martial law. The extension of detention, the Court ruled, can only be issued based on a reasoned court decision—this applies even in times of war. In this blogpost, we examine how the war has influenced the ways in which various actors engage with constitutional complaints, before discussing the Constitutional Court's recent decision on Article 615.6 of the Criminal Procedure Code. We argue that this ruling exemplifies how the Constitutional Court can maintain the relevance and practical significance of its decision-making in wartime.
Non-Binary Gender Markers in Italy?
Authors: Kompatscher Anna , Roßbach Susanna
Published: August 2024

In July, the Italian Constitutional Court recognised the existence of non-binary people for the first time in Italian history. Although the decision as such is a big step for queer rights in Italy, the Court stops halfway. In contrast to the German “Dritte Option” decision, the Court does not set clear instructions or deadlines for the Parliament. Italy’s current far-right political climate likely means non-binary gender markers will not be introduced by the Italian Parliament anytime soon.

Authors: Ratnasari Dian , Octafian Ray
Published: August 2024

This research aims to explore the phenomenon of millennial employee turnover in the Indonesian industry, identify the contributive factors to the high turnover rate, and formulate effective retention strategies to retain millennial talent. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews and participatory observation. The participants in this study are 6 millennial employees, 1 supervisor, and 1 manager from one of the industries in Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The results of the study show significant differences in values and work culture between the millennial generation and previous generations. Millennials tend to desire a more flexible, collaborative work environment that focuses on individual development. They also have higher expectations regarding technology, innovation, and more frequent feedback and recognition. These differences can pose challenges in intergenerational communication and collaboration in the workplace. The implications of this research include the need for transformation in HR management practices to accommodate the characteristics and expectations of millennial employees. Companies that successfully adapt their HR management approach will be better able to attract, retain, and optimize the potential of millennial talent, thereby driving business growth and innovation in this increasingly competitive era

Published: August 2024

En este estudio se obtienen los límites altitudinales de termotipos (pisos bioclimáticos) para generar capas de información geográfica y bioclimática que puedan utilizarse para situar bioclimáticamente hábitats de interés comunitario (HIC). La información altitudinal y bioclimática es proporcionada por bioindicadores (flora vascular y comunidades vegetales) en el Parque Nacional de la Sierra de las Nieves (Málaga, España). Dicha información ha sido cotejada con la clasificación de Rivas-Martínez (termotipos), generándose capas SIG y localizando dos HIC importantes (pinsapares: Abies pinsapo y vegetación de alta montaña: Juniperus communis) en sus intervalos altitudinales y bioclimáticos. Existe una elevada concordancia con los termotipos esperados. Los pinsapares ocupan fundamentalmente sus termotipos característicos (supra y mesomediterráneo) y escasamente oromediterráneo y termomediterráneo; la vegetación de alta montaña presenta elevada superficie en su termotipo (oromediterráneo), confiriéndole valor biogeográfico y conservacionista.

In this study, the altitudinal limits of the thermotypes (bioclimatic belts) were determined in order to generate geographical and bioclimatic information layers that can be used to bioclimatically locate habitats of community interest (HCI). Altitudinal and bioclimatic information is provided by bioindicators (vascular flora and plant communities) in the Sierra de las Nieves National Park (Malaga, Spain). This information has been compared with the classification of Rivas-Martínez (thermotypes), generating GIS layers and locating two important HCI (pinsapares: Abies pinsapo and high mountain vegetation: Juniperus communis) in their altitudinal and bioclimatic intervals. There is a high concordance with the expected thermotypes. The Spanish firs mainly occupy their characteristic thermotypes (supra- and mesomediterranean) and scarcely oromediterranean and thermomediterranean; the high mountain vegetation has a high surface area in its thermotype (oromediterranean), meaning biogeographical and conservationist value.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to provide an investigation of affixing sentence mistakes in narrative text essays written by fourth graders. In addition, we want to detail the challenges that both students and instructors have when attempting to convey the concept of affixing sentences to elementary school children. A case study is the research approach that is used. In this study, a descriptive example is used. The 70 participants in this research were drawn from three different classes (A, B, and C) and one larger class (22–24 students) at SD YASPORBI III Jakarta, representing Class IV as a whole. This study used a random sampling approach. Research tools used in this study were observation and interview tools. Observation, interviews, and documentation are the methods used to gather data in this study. There were four steps to the analytic process in this study: gathering data, cleaning it up, presenting it, and making conclusions. Study after study has shown that students retain more information and are more actively involved in their own learning when taught about affixes via the use of narrative process that incorporates anecdotes from real life. Teachers may help children who are still struggling with affix sentence writing by using narrative texts to gather often misused terms, such as capital and lowercase letters, which are connected to spelling and spelling comprehension. Teachers should thus provide their pupils with more support and assistance, whether that's in the form of extra explanations, specific activities, or both. Students have a more engaging and effective learning experience when visuals are used as a medium.

Authors: Ahmadi Ezzatollah , Chitsaz Mahdi
Published: August 2024

The present study aims to compare executive functions and resilience between two groups of cannabis users and non-users. Given the prevalence of cannabis use among young people and its impact on various psychological and social aspects, examining these factors seems essential. This descriptive study is ex-post facto in nature. The statistical population included men and women over 18 years old, from which 60 individuals were selected through convenience sampling. To assess executive functions, the Heppner Problem Solving Inventory and the Carver and White Behavioral Inhibition-Activation Questionnaire were used, and for assessing resilience, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was employed. Data were analyzed using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The results indicated a significant difference in the behavioral inhibition-activation system between cannabis users and non-users (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in problem-solving and resilience between the two groups. These findings suggest that cannabis use may alter the behavioral inhibition system and the behavioral activation system, while having minimal effect on problem-solving and resilience. Therefore, this research can serve as a basis for further studies on the psychological effects of cannabis use and appropriate intervention strategies to improve the condition of users.

The statistical population consisted of all master's students in the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences at Allameh Tabataba'i University in the academic year 2018-2019. The research sample included all students present in two classes selected by convenience sampling. One class was designated as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The experimental group received 12 educational sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, based on the Effective University Teaching Model (Lumen, 1995). The control group was taught using traditional methods without an explicit educational model. The Student Responsibility Questionnaire (Soroush, 2012) was used to measure students' responsibility levels. The students' final exam scores were used as an index of academic performance. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (covariance analysis test). Findings: The mean post-test scores for academic performance and responsibility (individual and social) significantly increased compared to the pre-test in the experimental group. However, the mean post-test scores for academic performance and responsibility (individual and social) did not significantly increase compared to the pre-test in the control group. Additionally, the effect size for academic performance (Eta = 0.755), individual responsibility (Eta = 0.718), social responsibility (Eta = 0.710), and overall responsibility (Eta = 0.661) was noted. Conclusion: The teaching model can have a positive and significant role in enhancing academic performance and individual and social responsibility among students.

Imam Sajjad (AS), in various prayers found in Sahifa Sajjadiya, places significant emphasis on this issue. The main objective of this article is to conduct a comparative analysis of the theory of social justice in the two intellectual frameworks of Imam Sajjad (AS) and John Rawls. To achieve this goal, the method of comparative analysis has been employed. In this study, the principles and concepts of social justice in the examined thoughts are analyzed and compared. The findings of this research indicate that Imam Sajjad (AS) and John Rawls have different perspectives and approaches regarding social justice. In the thought of Imam Sajjad (AS), social justice is founded on religious principles and theism, with an emphasis on the fair distribution of wealth, elimination of discrimination, and valuing the realization of social ethics. On the other hand, John Rawls defines justice as an agreement among individuals with diverse viewpoints, emphasizing the preservation of fundamental rights of each individual and the fair distribution of wealth based on social agreements.
