Social stability is an important foundation in the development and welfare of society. In this context, the role of law enforcement officials plays a crucial role in maintaining order, justice and security. This study aims to examine the urgency and impact of optimizing the role of law enforcement officials in realizing social stability. By digging into the literature and analyzing case studies, this research shows that law enforcement officials have a multidimensional role which includes fair law enforcement, crime prevention, social conflict management, and prosecution of organizational crimes and corruption. The optimization of their role has a significant impact on social stability. In the context of crime prevention, this study found that law enforcement officers who are actively present in the field and carry out patrols can prevent criminal acts from occurring. In addition, consistent and fair law enforcement also helps encourage compliance with the law. Law Enforcement Officers are a manifestation of the will of the people, therefore they must pay attention to the interests of the people and carry out the functions of public service and regulation of citizens. One of its functions is to realize social stability for Indonesian citizens. The problems to be discussed in this study are related to optimizing the role of law enforcement officials in realizing social stability. The research method used in this study is a normative research method using a statutory approach and a case approach and will be analyzed using content analysis.

Published: August 2023

This study intends to review pertinent literature on embracing Islamic values which are significantly relevant in strengthening parents-children relationship in the modern world. The prominent Qur’anic verses on communication values among humankinds in general, parenting roles, parenting skills, child-to-parents mannerism and the rights of children to communicate in a family are covered broadly with the intention to provide a better insight and perspectives on the subject matter. As parenting has never been easy back then and modern-days, this study also aims to give sufficient emphasis on the significance Islamic values have on the Muslim parents in communicating with family members – children in particular. This study concluded that the six primary values of Islamic teaching in family communication: Qaulan Sadida, Qaulan Ma‟rufa, Qaulan Baligha, Qaulan Maysura, Qaulan Layyina, and Qaulan Karima would definitely produce a great communication mode, affectionate parents-children relationship, and ultimately develop an excellent youth personality in society. This is also a must-have-skill each Muslim parents acquire towards nurturing strong and beneficial family institution.

Penggunaan Klausa Eksonerasi dalam Perjanjian Kerja antara Pekerja dengan Pengusaha di Indonesia
Authors: Nugroho Handika Faqih
Published: August 2023

An exoneration clause is a clause whose contents are more in favor of a party with a higher position in casu a work agreement whose position is more dominant or higher is the employer, so that this exoneration clause can cause harm to workers whose position is below the employer, even though the agreement recognizes the principle of freedom of contract , but there is nothing that explicitly limits the use of exoneration clauses in work agreements. In answering these problems, this paper uses a normative method by collecting data from literature studies in the form of labor law regulations in Indonesia, doctrines, and court decisions. The results of this study are that work agreements may use exoneration clauses with limitations that do not differ from Article 1320 KUHPER jo. Article 52 of the Labor Law and the legal protection of workers who are harmed by the exoneration clause in the work agreement can carry out bipartite or conciliation to make an addendum/amendment to the work agreement or workers can cancel it in court if the work agreement contained in the exoneration clause differs from the terms of the validity of the work agreement.

Treatment and prevention paradigms in TB have been dominated by a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, in which all persons are given the same treatment regimens. This stands in contrast to other health conditions, where differentiated models of care have been shown to be effective.
In this Viewpoint, we make the case for considering multiple factors when deciding which regimens should be offered to people with TB infection and disease. Choice about which regimens to use should be made in conjunction with people who have TB and consider efficacy, safety, duration, pill
burden, formulation, drug interactions, time spent in monitoring, drug susceptibility, compatibility with other areas of life, and availability of support services. Ideally, these choices should be considered within an equity framework with the most intensified services being offered to those
considered most vulnerable.

Published: August 2023

O tracajá, quelônio muito apreciado na culinária da região Norte do Brasil, não possui um sistema de cultivo determinado. A ausência de parâmetros de cultivo e manejo da espécie em cativeiro, pode levar ao estresse do plantel e consequente diminuição de produção e o interesse dos produtores. Para contribuir com informações para o cultivo desse quelônio, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência de diferentes densidades de cultivo de tracajá (16, 24, 32 e 40 anim.m-3) em situação de cativeiro no Laboratório de Aquicultura da Embrapa Amapá, em quatro repetições, durante a fase de engorda, avaliando a característica qualitativa coloração de diferentes regiões da carne desses animais (regiões muscular e cavitária), assim como alguns parâmetros físico-químicos. Não houveram diferenças estatísticas impactantes nos parâmetros físico-químicos nas diferentes densidades populacionais. Mas o aumento do número de espécimes de tracajás num sistema de cultivo pode ter impacto qualitativo na percepção de alteração da cor de sua carne pelos consumidores, após abate, possivelmente devido às condições de estresse enfrentadas pelos animais. Nesse caso, a coloração da carne pode ser uma ferramenta alternativa para avaliação dos efeitos das condições de estresse imputados aos tracajás, num sistema de cultivo intensivo.

O presente artigo objetivou analisar o processo da gestão participativa e as dinâmicas territoriais das Comunidades Quilombolas Guruji, Ipiranga e Mituaçu no Município de Conde. O constructo metodológico deste artigo teve suas bases de sustentação na pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com foco na dinâmica da realidade social enxergando as suas contradições de modo a compreender que esta realidade ultrapassa os limites da aparência e sendo necessário ir além do imediatismo, na busca das variáveis determinações do processo histórico e social, na qual está o objeto desde manuscrito. A política de participação desenvolvida pelo estado da Paraíba, precisa garantir o direito a presença das comunidades quilombolas nos assentos dos conselhos regionais do ODE, para que possam atuar na política de controle social e da participação ativa na construção das Leis Orçamentárias, buscando avançar na efetivação das políticas de proteção social ampliadas por parte do estado e dar visibilidade as expressões da questão social desses territórios de vivência. Os retrocessos acometidos nesses territórios precisam ser descolonializado para que de fato e de direito aconteça a universalização das políticas sociais nos territórios Quilombolas do Litoral Sul e nas demais regiões da Paraíba. Essa regulamentação é urgente e necessária para que não haja possibilidade de ocupação em todas as cadeiras  por quem tem mais poder de mobilização, a exemplo da classe política, que investe em seus cabos eleitorais na ocupação desses espaços, deixando de fora alguns seguimentos sociais como as comunidades quilombolas, torando-os desprotegidos ao direito em ter vez e voz no O.D.E.

Published: August 2023

A educação para cidadania é composta por uma dimensão deontológica, associada aos direitos e deveres civis e políticos, e uma dimensão aretaica, relacionada à promoção de virtudes e valores nos estudantes. O presente estudo teve como objetivo discutir o papel potencial do desenvolvimento moral na educação para cidadania. Para tanto, foi realizada análise do conteúdo de uma amostra da literatura internacional em educação para cidadania no século XXI. Como resultado, foi verificado que o desenvolvimento moral é apenas superficialmente contemplado nas discussões internacionais nesta área. Assim, foi sugerida uma integração pedagógica mais estruturada e sistemática entre esses dois campos mutuamente complementares do desenvolvimento humano.

Authors: Tuoi Nguyen Thi , Thanh Nguyen Nghi
Published: August 2023

Objective: This article examines the influence of digital capabilities on the work performance of provincial civil servants in Vietnam.   Methods: The study employs regression analysis to analyze the relationship between digital capabilities and work performance based on the data collected from surveys conducted among provincial civil servants.   Results: The findings indicate positive associations between enhanced communication and collaboration, streamlined administrative processes, improved service delivery, and capacity building and skill development with work performance. However, the study finds limited impacts of access to information and knowledge and data-driven decision making on work performance among civil servants. The regression coefficients and statistical significance levels provide robust evidence to support the acceptance of some hypotheses while rejecting others.   Suggestions: This study significantly contributes to the existing literature on digital capabilities in the civil service sector, specifically focusing on Vietnam. Valuable insights are offered by examining the digital capabilities and work performance of provincial civil servants in a developing country context. The results provide guidance for policymakers and organizational leaders in Vietnam to enhance work performance through targeted interventions and strategies.
Implementation of Legal Guarantees for Human Rights Protection in Indonesia
Authors: Husen Laode , Anwar Andi Ifal , Rahman Sufirman , Hidjaz M. Kamal
Published: August 2023

Objective: Ratifying Human Rights conventions are expected to strengthen the guarantee of Human Rights protection in Indonesia. Human Rights and Act Number 26 of 2000 concerning Human Rights Courts, Indonesia has shown increased involvement in participating as a party to various international agreements in the field of Human Rights. However, the dynamics of human rights law in Indonesia have not progressed since the 1988 reform marked by various existing human rights violations. This research refers to this tendency which slowly erodes the democratic quality of fundamental freedoms. Initially based on the principle of "freedom from fear," human rights have changed to "fear of freedom." So there needs to be continuity between law and politics toward human rights.
 
Methode: The research method used is a normative legal approach with qualitative analysis. The data obtained includes first-level legal, tributary, and third-level legal sources.
 
Result: The implementation of human rights law protection in Indonesia after the formation of Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights has experienced ups and downs, which cannot be separated from law enforcement caused by several factors. Human Rights require judicial independence and the rule of law. The problem of upholding human rights and the rule of law in Indonesia involves a degraded legal system and other systems that have significant influence, such as the political, economic, and social systems.
 
Suggestions: It is necessary to reexamine the Government's legal and political policies regarding upholding Human Rights in Indonesia, with a focus on studying the legal and political aspects of Human Rights to Act Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights.
Model for Forecasting Tax Compliance Behaviors for Small and Medium Enterprises Owners Based on Owning Tax Knowledge
Authors: Dung Nguyen Ngoc Khanh , Tuan Dang Anh , Thao Bui Thi Thu
Published: August 2023

Objective: This article aims to develop a conceptual framework of tax knowledge that can help analyze and discuss how it affects tax compliance and proposes a predictive model to better understand taxpayer behavior and compliance levels by seeking to assess the importance of different types of tax knowledge.
 
Method: This study follows the interpretive paradigm and utilizes a qualitative approach to gain a deeper understanding of individuals' perceptions and attitudes in different contexts. The research data was gathered by reviewing pertinent literature and data from previous studies found in academic databases like Scopus, Taylor and Francis, and Emerald. Keywords such as “taxpayer knowledge or “tax knowledge” and related concepts were used in the search. The systematic literature review concentrated on tax legal, procedural, and general knowledge to formulate a proposed tax literacy framework.
 
Results: The proposed tax knowledge framework consists of three components: taxpayers' knowledge level, awareness, and attitude toward taxes. These three components correspond to three types of knowledge: general tax knowledge, tax law knowledge, and tax procedure knowledge. This framework can be useful in (i) assessing the significance of each type of knowledge, which, when combined with cognitive ability, can signify a taxpayer's intention to follow tax regulations and (ii) explaining taxpayer behavior, which can indicate compliance or non-compliance based on their attitudes towards taxes and different types of knowledge. Moreover, this framework can be utilized as a basis for developing scales that measure tax knowledge and compliance behavior. This can help state agencies create policies that can reduce tax violations and improve compliance overall.
 
Conclusions: According to the analysis, tax knowledge is an important factor in determining the tax compliance behavior of SMEs, but it is not the only factor. The model suggests that there are two key aspects to consider. Firstly, tax compliance is influenced by the level of understanding, awareness, and attitudes. Secondly, positive attitudes are more crucial than tax awareness when it comes to taxpayers' ability to comply with tax regulations, while negative attitudes are more influential than tax knowledge in terms of taxpayers' likelihood to engage in non-compliance.

Authors: Khare Vikas Kumar , Raghuwanshi Sandeep , Vashisht Anil , Verma Priyanka , Chauhan Rashmi
Published: August 2023

Objective: This paper examines how stakeholder demand, organisational resources, knowledge, environmental uncertainty management, and product uniqueness affect green marketing and India's small-scale industry's sustainability. The study is important in green management because it examines concurrent relationships between stakeholders' demand, organisations' resources, knowledge, environmental uncertainty management, product uniqueness, and sustainability performance. Sustainability performance variables measure financial and non-financial performance in this study.
 
Method: This study will quantitatively explain the phenomenon using numerical data and linear equation methods. Madhya Pradesh, with 7.54 percent of India's SSIs, hosted the study. Madhya Pradesh's forest-based industry and environmentally friendly development made these sites ideal. Researchers chose large cities since SSIs were more prevalent there in prior years. Bhopal, Jabalpur, and Gwalior will contribute data.
 
Result: Green management affects SSIs' sustainability performance due to stakeholder demand, knowledge, environmental uncertainty management, and product uniqueness, but not organisational resources.
 
Conclusion: Stakeholder demand, organisation resources, expertise, managing environmental uncertainty, and product uniqueness affect green management and SSI's sustainability performance. Green management boosts SSI's sustainability.

Published: August 2023

Identification and characterization of new cultivars is essential to meet DUS testing, address IPR issues and their utilization and conservation. Traditionally, morphological markers were used for germplasm characterization as being simple and irreplaceable. A total of 57 RAPD primers were screened and out of these 22 primers which gave sufficient amplification were selected for the study. Out of 207 bands generated, 175 were polymorphic with a polymorphism percentage of 84.54%. The polymorphism percentage ranged between 60% (OPA04) to 100% (OPA17, OPB-06, OPX14, OPX-19). The primer OPA08 generated least numbers of bands (4) and OPA06 generated maximum number of bands (17). The Rp values ranged between 0.82 to 8.18 for RAPD primers OPY-4 and OPX16, respectively with a mean value of 3.94 and the correlation between Rp and number of cultivars identified by each primer was fairly high (0.96). The primers OPX16, OPY6 and OPA04 distinguished higher number of cultivars of 49, 46 and 37 respectively. The UPGMA dendrogram indicated that the cultivars Maghi Orange and Maghi Yellow were sharing the maximum similarity (89%) and were close to Maghi White at a similarity level of 86%. The other cultivars sharing higher similarity levels were Flirt with Yellow Gold, Pink Cloud with Korean Small and Sadbhawna with Jubilee. RAPD proved to be useful for the characterization of the genotypes for their efficient utilization, management and IPR protection.
Effect of auxin inhibitor and AMF inoculation on growth and root morphology of trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) seedlings
Authors: LIU CHUN-YAN , SRIVASTAVA A K , WU QIANG-SHENG
Published: August 2023

Auxins are considered as one of the important plant hormones coordinating the signals in regulation of plant development including the transformation in root morphology. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) produce small amount of auxins, the role of which is yet not known in root and mycorrhizal development. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of AMF (Glomus versiforme Karst.) and an auxin inhibitor (P- Chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid, PCIB, 10 mM) on plant growth and root development of four-month-old mycorrhized trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] seedlings. Root mycorrhizal colonization and number of entry points and vesicles were significantly inhibited by exogenous PCIB treatment, suggesting that auxins are involved in establishment of AMF-host plant symbiosis. Application of PCIB significantly decreased the plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, and shoot and root fresh weight. On the other hand, AMF colonization increased the plant height, shoot and root fresh weight, thereby, suggesting that AMF colonization alleviated the negative effects of PCIB. Similarly, PCIB application significantly decreased taproot length, root average diameter, roots projected area, surface area of roots, root volume, root length under 0–1 cm category, and total root length. These root traits significantly improved upon inoculation with AMF. The study, hence, suggested that inoculation with AMF negated the adverse effects of PCIB through AMF-induced auxin production that actively participated in both root and mycorrhizal plant development.
Improving potato (Solanum tuberosum) yield and soil health through integrated nutrient management approach in east coast climatic conditions of India
Authors: MOHANTY M , NANDA S S , BARIK A K
Published: August 2023

A field experiment was conducted consecutively for two cropping seasons of 2007-08 and 2008-09 to study the effect of organic (FYM: farmyard manure, vermicompost and neem cake) and inorganic (chemical fertilizers) sources of plant nutrients at different combinations on the growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers and economics besides assessing its impact on soil health in terms of available OC, N,P and K status after its harvest during both the seasons. The experimental soil was slightly acidic (pH 6.4) in nature, low in organic carbon (0.481%), available N (228 kg/ha) and medium in available K (122 kg/ha) and P (18 kg/ha). Results indicated that the application of 50 % recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) as inorganic sources in conjunction with rest 50% RDF as organic sources as FYM or vermicompost or neem cake (T6, T7 and T8) 15 days before final land preparation, registered significantly higher tuber growth, tuber bulking rate, weight of tubers/plant and yield of potato tubers as compared to rest of the treatments including 100% RDF as inorganic sources alone. Accordingly, the above treatments, on an average, recorded higher tubers yield (19.65 t/ha) to the tune of 6.72, 11.70 and 57.71 % than that of 75% RDF as inorganic fertilizers + 25% as organic manures (FYM or vermicompost or neem cake), 100% RDF as chemical fertilizers and control (no manure or chemical fertilizer), respectively. Moreover, T6, T7 and T8 treatments also exhibited higher uptake of N, P and K from soils in addition to more net returns (Rs. 56993/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (1.94) as compared to rest of the treatments. Integrated nutrient management approach not only proved beneficial in enhancing the yield of potato, but also improved the contents of available organic carbon, N, P and K in treatments where 50% recommended dose of NPK was applied through inorganic and remaining 50% RDF through organic sources.
Parasitization preference of Diaeretiella rapae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) among different aphids in vegetable ecosystem
Authors: HALDER JAYDEEP , RAI A B , KODANDARAM M H
Published: August 2023

Solitary, polyphagous, endoparasitoid Diaeretiella rapae (Mc’Intosh) is considered as one of the prominent parasitoid of aphids on several host plants under natural field conditions. However, knowledge about its affinity and host preference towards different prey aphids is very scanty. So the present study on host preference of D. rapae revealed differential response for its parasitization to different aphid species infesting vegetable crops. It preferred maximum to cruciferous aphids, viz. Myzus persicae (59%) followed by Brevicoryne brassicae (51%) and Lipaphis erysimi (46%) than the other vegetable aphids like Aphis craccivora (23.67%) and Aphis spiraecola (19.67%). Seasonal incidence of D. rapae also indicated that its first occurrence was observed on M. persicae (13.67%) and L. erysimi (5.67%) during second fortnight of January, 2013 whereas spiraecola feeding on brinjal parasitized last indicating the preference of cruciferous aphids over other vegetable aphids. However, among the cruciferous aphids, highest parasitoid emergence was observed from L. erysimi (88%) followed by B. brassicae (81%) and M. persicae (80%). Comparatively higher body size (2.81 ± 0.23 mm) and tibial length (0.51 ± 0.05 mm) of M. persicae by the parasitoid for its parasitization and variation in nutritional quality in L. erysimi as food substrate towards D. rapae for its higher emergence might be responsible for their preference over the other host aphids.

Objective: Apelin, a peptide with growth factor characteristic, is expressed in many cells and acts by binding to the APJ receptor. Apelin mRNA was detected in the central nervous system (CNS), macrophages and many peripheral tissues. According to recent studies, apelin protects neurons from hypoxia and glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity and can protect cells from oxidative stres (stress) (OS) damage by stimulating catalase activity. Pituitary and neurodegenerative diseases are associated with progressive neuronal loss in the CNS. Neuroinflammation and OS-induced cell damage, caused by microglia and astrocytes activation, have an important role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of these diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of apelin-13 molecule on the development of inflammation and OS caused by bacterial endotoxin in an invitro astrocyte cell culture medium. Methods: The effect of apelin -13 on cell viability changes in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced astrocyte inflammation was analyzed by enzymatic MTT test. The anti-inflammatory effects were determined by qRT-PCR and ELISA analysis at the level of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and mRNA transcription and protein. The effects of apelin on endotoxin mediated OS and possible DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, and nitric oxide (NO) production were evaluated by ELISA method. Results: In our study, LPS application to astrocytes caused inflammation and a significant decrease in inflammation was found with apelin treatment.
Conclusion: The results obtained from this study reveal the antiinflammatory, antiapoptotic and antioxidant effects of apelin, that have widely expressed receptors and role in the development of immune response on the development of neuroinflammation and oxidative cell damage.

The Brehov volcanogenic and stratabound base metal and gold deposit (Eastern Slovakia): Position and genetic relations in the Internal Carpathian–Alpine Cenozoic metallogenetic belt

The Brehov ore deposit, near the village of Brehov, is located in the East Slovakian Basin 15 km south-east of the Trebišov town. A progressive development of Middle Badenian to Middle Sarmatian sedimentation and volcanism in the Brehov hydrothermally mineralized area is manifested in the article. The volcanogenic, stratabound, polymetallic (Zn, Pb, Cu) and gold sulphide deposit within the Brehov–Sirník interpreted resurgent caldera occurs in the volcanosedimentary sequence. Mineralization in the deposit, consisting of the fine-grained aggregate of sulphides, is interpreted to be of shallow water origin. It is placed mostly in the rhyodacite volcaniclastics and partly in calcareous claystone, altered and brecciated. Three types of ores – the stringer (keiko), yellow and black ore – were distinguished near the Brehov village on the basis of ore composition, being formed by successive mineralization stages. The stringer ore, consisting of the sulphide minerals, dominates in the quartz-dioritic (siliceous) rocks. The yellow ore is represented primarily by pyrite, but contains also minor chalcopyrite and quartz. The black ore is an intimate mixture of sphalerite, galena, sometimes barite and minor pyrite and chalcopyrite. Tetrahedrite and marcasite occur sporadically. The ore in all cases is fine-grained. The ore bodies are almost everywhere enclosed by clay, composed of montmorillonite, sericite and chlorite. The ore bearing fluids were probably colloids of hydrothermal origin. Textures are considered to indicate that the colloids replaced the country rocks, rather than merely filled open spaces in the rhyodacite pyroclastics and epiclastics. Despite the precious metals (mostly gold) are economically important commodity in many Kuroko type deposits, in the Brehov ore deposit they occur in volumetrically minor amounts. Visible gold is present as inclusions of native gold in major sulphide minerals, whereas silver occurs in Ag-sulphides and sulphosalts, e.g. tetrahedrite and ferberite.

A catchment-scale method for estimation of specific yield (Sy) in the zone of groundwater level fluctuation is proposed. It is applicable to hilly watersheds, where deep groundwater discharge – not drained by local streams as baseflow – is small and can be neglected. Therefore, it is mostly employable for bedrock flow systems, dominated by shallow unconfined fractured rock aquifers. Method provides an estimate of specific yield (Sy) by combined analysis of streamflow recession, storage/runoff relationship and groundwater level fluctuation (Q-S-H). For groundwater storage (S) values evaluation, river discharge (Q) master recession curves are constructed and interpreted. The method produces as more reliable results as number of groundwater level observation sites increases. As example, it is demonstrated at the Levočský potok Brook watershed (Western Carpathians, Slovakia), built by fracture porosity dominated Paleogene sediments. Estimated characteristic Sy value is from the interval 0.001–0.002 and 0.002–0.005 for low and medium storage/runoff conditions – or bottom and middle part of GWL fluctuation zone – respectively.
Análisis de los Estados de Excepción y su posible desnaturalización desde el hiperpresidencialismo en los años 2017 – 2021
Authors: Ramón Álvarez Erika Pamela , Fajardo Carlos
Published: August 2023

El principal objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación, es determinar el uso indebido, excesivo y arbitrario de la figura de estado de excepción, produciendo así la desnaturalización del mismo, durante el periodo de gobierno de Lenin Moreno entre los años 2017-2021. Es así, que el análisis de las declaratorias de estado de excepción  que se realizaron durante este periodo de gobierno y que fueron objeto de investigación  se determinó que el estado de excepción fue utilizado para superar crisis que se desarrollaron por la toma de medidas económicas por parte del gobierno y para contrarrestar la propagación del virus del Covid-19 en donde la figura de estado de excepción fue utilizada excesivamente por parte del ejecutivo, que pese a que podía acudir a los organismos ordinarios no lo hizo y acudió a mecanismos extraordinarios. Existe normativa tanto nacional como internacional que establece los requisitos para poder declarar estado de excepción, pese a esta normativa no se ha cumplido con lo necesario y se ha dado la omisión de algunos requisitos contemplados en la ley, además de que la fundamentación para hacer uso de esta figura no es la correcta y ante esto se puede evidenciar que no existo un correcto control por parte de la Corte Constitucional, quien es el órgano competente para determinar la constitucionalidad de los estados de excepción una vez se haya analizado paulatinamente las causales y fundamentos que se utilizan en el mismo.
The Playwright and Conflict Resolution: A Critical Perspective on Ahmed Yerima’s The Angel
Authors: Idegwu Clement Chukwuka
Published: August 2023

This article examines the concept of conflict, its causes, effects and how to minimize it in human relationship. It employs Ahmed Yerima’s The Angel as its anchor or illustrative text. The theory for the investigation is sociological theory which explicates the relationship between art and society and how art redefines a world that has lost its track. The inquiry discovers that selfishness, greed, undue and unnecessary or unhealthy competition create dissension among siblings and members of the society. These things create discord which undermines family bloodline, and goes on to destroy everyone. It also shows that, the survivors, if there be any, concentrate, on how to maximize the moment for selfish gains rather than brooding over the monumental waste of lives, among other things. This indeed is disheartening. This paper resolves or establishes that, though conflict is prevalent in all societies, siblings and human beings in general could minimize it to the barest minimum. This is possible if they refuse to allow greed and avarices that usually becloud human sense of reasoning to overwhelm them. This must be articulated in families, homes and in childhood in order to avoid children growing up with the intent for self–aggrandizement which remains inimical to our collective wellbeing.
