Adolescence is universally a time of vulnerability to different influences when adolescents initiate various behaviours, including substance use. A desire to experiment and explore can manifest in various behaviours exploring sexual relationships, alcohol, cigarettes, tobacco and other substances use and abused. The objective of this study was to identify the predictors of substance use and substance use behaviour pattern among adolescent students. Data collected from a random sample of 240 adolescent students revealed the majority of the sample had experienced one or the other substances, of which Hookah was at first place, followed by alcohol, cigarette and marijuana, respectively. The univariate analysis of the study revealed that adolescent students studying in a higher class, those above 15 years and male students were more prone to take substances. Parents' lower level of education, Lower family income, and occupation were also significant factors associated with substance use among adolescents (p-value<0.01). Relationship with fathers, children who have authoritarian or liberal parents were found to be more prone to take substances (p-value<0.01). Participants having family members with the habit of taking substance were also found to be more prone to develop the habit of substance use. Also, substance use was significantly lower among those participants whose parents have educated them about substances. The data suggest that experimentation is the major factor associated with substance use among adolescents followed by trends and partying, social media influence, seeing family members and peer influence, respectively.

Terrorism grows because of two fundamental factors, namely economic deprivation and political injustice. So far, the approach to countering terrorism in Indonesia is not encouraging, it is proven that terrorism crimes still occur every year. A repressive approach to enforcing the law of retaliation must be breached with the possibility of opening up opportunities for the implementation of restorative justice in dealing with terrorism, particularly in the criminal justice system. To finish this study, a conceptual and statutory study is carried out so that it gets an adequate discussion.

With our entry into the era of industry 4.0 brings all activities, one of which is business to an online base commonly called e-commerce. However, with all the conveniences provided through buying and selling on online platforms, there is a new conversation about whether online platforms make competition stronger or actually facilitate market monopolies. Especially when discussing digital platforms, it's impossible to ignore market-related information, which comes in all types of information. Nonetheless, with the introduction of Big Data, previously raw data may now be processed to provide a competitive advantage to business actors who have access to it, and this facilitates the occurrence of exploitation if the business actor does not choose to share access to Big Data. Hence, a regulation is needed to discuss the ownership of Big Data access in an online platform and how the role of the essential facilities doctrine as a basis so that business actors do not hold back is actually required to provide access to other competitors in order to access these essential facilities.

Authors: AQEEL MAJEED TAHA, YASMINE SAMI MIKHLIF
Published: June 2023

The law gives the trial judge the right to issue fair and appropriate rulings that are consistent with the provisions of the law when there is a case before him. This right is consistent with Article 1 of the amended Iraqi Law of Evidence No. 107 of 1979, in which the court has a role in cases not stipulated in the law. Thus, it is left to the discretion of the judge. Therefore, the judge in charge has the right to seek the assistance of a religious fatwa when there is no legal text related to the dispute presented in front of him. The first article does not oblige the judge to seek the help of a specific doctrine, especially in cases of halal and haram (permissible and forbidden according to an Islamic religious point of view) that require knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence. As for the non-Muslim cases that are difficult for the judge to comprehend their rulings due to the diversity and multiplicity of religions and sects, the judge should ask non-Muslim religious references to know the jurisprudential ruling on the dispute in order to issue an appropriate ruling on the case presented before him.

Published: June 2023

International security is one of the essential topics in strategic studies. It is unarguable that international security has undergone a vast change throughout history, up to the twenty-first century, when it was characterized by a global nature and comprehensiveness of data, and affected the entire international community. There is no party that does not want this data to reach it, in addition to the advantage of rapid transmission of global challenges within a limited period of time. Therefore, we find that the basic concepts and postulates in international and strategic studies have changed and developed due to the interrelated and interacting variables in a manner that is increasing in relative importance, in contrast to the relative declining of some others as a result of the interaction process. One of these concepts is innovation, which is now considered to be one of the key concepts in strategic studies due to its connection to dynamism and productivity. It entails developing new skills. Farrell and Tarff define it as "the development of new military techniques, tactics, strategies, and structure that help predict in a way that achieves peace."

THE ROLE OF THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IN CRIMINAL LAWSUITS: COMPARING IRANIAN AND AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEMS
Authors: ABDOLLAH QASEM LOU, NASSER GHASEMI, MAHMOOD HABIBITABAR
Published: June 2023

In criminal proceedings, "statute of limitations" refers to the date after which it is no longer possible to file a complaint, prosecute the defendant, impose a sentence, or carry out the sentence. Therefore, the statute of limitations under criminal law is divided into three categories: prosecution, complaint, and punishment. The statute of limitations is fifteen years for crimes of the first through third degrees; ten years for crimes of the fourth degree; five and seven years, respectively, for crimes of the fifth and sixth degrees; and three years for crimes of the eighth degree. After these deadlines, the lawsuit or offense has no further criminal repercussions. If a victim of a crime does not file a complaint within one year of discovering the crime, he forfeits his right to do so, unless he was under the control of the defendant or was prevented from filing a complaint for other reasons beyond his control. In this instance, the deadline will be determined based on the date of removing the related reason. In addition, the common law legal system anticipates this issue. In the United States of America, for example, the legal statute of limitations is the time after which a lawsuit or complaint cannot be heard or filed. Regarding the effects of crime in this country, one must also consider the applicable statute of limitations. However, these dates vary due to the number of states and legislators in the United States.
