Más allá de las heterogeneidades regionales. Lo familiar y lo académico en docentes investigadores de universidades argentinas (2022-2023)
Authors: Lione Sacha , Rossomando María Pía , Corbella Virginia Inés
Published: December 2024

En los últimos años muchos han sido los aportes de los estudios de género y ciencia a nivel nacional e internacional. Los mismos han analizado con exhaustividad la inserción desigual de mujeres y varones en el campo científico y algunos de ellos han señalado las implicancias de lo privado en las trayectorias académicas. Sin embargo, han sido pocos los que han abordado la temática en clave de articulación de esferas. El presente artículo propone ser un aporte a este campo de indagación al proponer como objetivo explorar desde una mirada de género las articulaciones entre el trabajo académico y reproductivo en las trayectorias de las personas que realizan docencia e investigación en Argentina. El trabajo se enmarca en un proyecto de más largo alcance interesado en mapear la heterogeneidad estructural y capacidades diferenciales de producción y circulación de conocimiento. En este marco, se realizó un estudio cualitativo de trayectorias mediante entrevistas a docentes investigadores de diferentes regiones del país. Como resultados del estudio se destaca que las desigualdades de género en el ámbito académico no pueden ser pensadas sin atender a las maneras en que éste se articula con el trabajo reproductivo y ello trasciende las diferencias regionales e institucionales.
Entre el oficio de alumno y el oficio de investigar. Reflexiones en torno a la propuesta de enseñanza de investigación social de la licenciatura en trabajo social (UNL)
Authors: Papili Gustavo , Schmuck María Emilia , Gomitolo Mercedes Sofía
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la propuesta de enseñanza en investigación constituida en torno al desarrollo de las asignaturas Seminario de Diseño de Tesina y Seminario de Tesina en la Licenciatura en Trabajo Social –en adelante LTS– de la Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociales de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral (FCJS-UNL). El texto se constituye con el propósito de generar insumos que permitan revisitar nuestras prácticas docentes y abonen a la construcción de una mirada crítica acerca de los modos de enseñar y aprender el oficio de la investigación social en la Universidad pública. Para su desarrollo, recuperamos registros etnográficos basados en nuestra participación en diferentes instancias compartidas con estudiantes y colegas docentes durante el cursado en 2023 de las dos asignaturas que conforman la propuesta: clases presenciales en espacios áulicos, encuentros de consulta virtual, correos y conversaciones informales con docentes y estudiantes en la cotidianeidad universitaria. En tanto que quienes llevamos adelante la investigación somos sujetes partícipes de los mismos procesos que estudiamos, la investigación se alinea con las “etnografías en casa” y las auto-etnografías, en la que nuestra proximidad también se ha vuelto objeto de reflexión.

Salud, agua y ambiente en tiempos de colapso. Reflexiones sobre emergencias durante la pandemia en Santiago del Estero
Authors: Toledo López Virginia Belén
Published: December 2024

La emergencia del Coronavirus (Covid 19) en Argentina puso en evidencia los desafíos múltiples que afectan a sectores sociales más vulnerables en coyunturas críticas de colapso, dadas sus históricas dificultades de acceso a servicios básicos. El presente artículo se enfoca en el período 2020-2022, etapa de pandemia, a partir de un diseño cualitativo que triangula fuentes primarias y secundarias con el desarrollo de un estudio de caso en la ciudad de Selva, provincia de Santiago del Estero. Los resultados advierten sobre consecuencias sanitarias y no sanitarias de la emergencia. La investigación logró relevar procesos organizativos a nivel comunitario y el modo en que la coyuntura profundizó situaciones críticas previas. Además, el caso muestra que, en algunos lugares, las medidas de cuidado y aislamiento dispuestas fueron implementadas en forma articulada con dispositivos de control que minaron procesos colectivos preexistentes.
Producción de la naturaleza y (re)configuración de relaciones entre poblaciones humanas y no humanas en el Parque Nacional Islas de Santa Fe, Argentina (2010-2023)
Authors: Abregú Mariana Silvina , Gomitolo Mercedes Sofía , Straccia Patricio Hernán
Published: December 2024

En este artículo analizamos la producción de la naturaleza y (re)configuración de relaciones entre poblaciones humanas y no humanas en el Parque Nacional Islas de Santa Fe (Argentina) entre 2010 y 2023. Nos preguntamos sobre las tramas institucionales dentro de contextos sociopolíticos particulares y sus cambios y continuidades a lo largo del tiempo, explorando también las derivas políticas que relacionan humanos y no humanos en el área protegida, los sentidos que asumen, las prácticas que impulsan y aquellas que excluyen. Desde el marco conceptual de la ecología política latinoamericana, con un enfoque crítico que articula las disputas sobre las formas de apropiación del ambiente desde un análisis centrado en las relaciones de poder, abordamos la conservación de la naturaleza no sólo como un proceso ecológico sino también como un proceso político que involucra el gobierno de los territorios y de las poblaciones humanas y no humanas por medio de tecnologías de poder que configuran territorios y relaciones sociales. A partir del análisis cualitativo de los datos producidos identificamos dos etapas con diferencias sustantivas entre sí: un primer período de creación y control (2010-2019) caracterizado por un modelo de conservación estricta con exclusión de poblaciones humanas (y de poblaciones no humanas contrarias al imaginario moderno sobre cómo debería ser la naturaleza en el Parque Nacional Islas de Santa Fe), y un segundo período de autonomización y vinculación (2020-2023) orientado al desarrollo de acciones para organizar la coexistencia humana y sus relaciones con el ambiente bajo nuevas lógicas de vinculación.

Authors: Munar Asyiful , Rahma Rahma , Prala Hendri Wan
Published: December 2024

Fine motor development is one of the developments that can be honed in early childhood. Salt painting media is a medium that can develop children's fine motor skills. However, the fine motor skills of children at the IT Baitusshalihin Ulee Kareng Kindergarten in Banda Aceh are not yet fully developed. Most children still have difficulty using writing tools, imitating shapes, forming patterns, and cutting out patterns, and they even still have difficulty exploring various tools/media. This research aims to determine whether salt painting media can develop children's fine motor skills at the IT Baitusshalihin Ulee Kareng Kindergarten, Banda Aceh. The research sample was children aged 4-5 years which involved children from group A2 as the control class and A3 as the experimental class, totaling 15 children. This type of research is experimental using quasi-experimental analysis. This research used a pre-test-post-test control group design. Based on calculations using t-test statistics. Then using salt painting media can develop children's fine motor skills as obtained by t count > t table, namely 3.89 > 1.70 so that the alternative hypothesis Ha is accepted and the hypothesis H0 is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of salt painting media can develop children's fine motor.
MEASURING CARBON DISCLOSURE FROM CEO CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: Harjito Yunus , Sutopo Bambang
Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the influence of CEO characteristics with the proxies used, namely gender, foreign CEOs, and CEO impression management on carbon disclosure. The study takes data on mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a coverage of 2019 to 2023 which includes 68 companies with a total of 340 data. The results showed that all CEO characteristics used in this study proved to have a positive and significant effect on carbon disclosure. The presence of a female CEO leading the company will improve the quality and environmental performance of the company, as well as carbon disclosure. In addition, the presence of foreign CEOs who have a foreign educational background also has a positive impact on corporate carbon disclosure. The narcissistic nature shown by CEOs in company reports through CEO impression management is also proven to have a positive and significant impact on carbon disclosure. All the results of this study are proven to confirm the statements contained in the upper echelon theory.
Synergistic interaction between Meloidogyne incognita and Fusarium solani in black pepper, Piper nigrum L

Published: December 2024

The nematode-fungus disease complex is becoming a significant constraint in black pepper production in Kerala. Basic information on major nematodes and fungal pathogens associated with disease complex as well as histopathological and biochemical changes due to the interactive effects of both organisms, is essential for developing effective management strategies. Soil and root samples were collected from prominent black pepper-growing areas in Kannur, Idukki and Wayanad districts to document nematodes and fungal pathogens associated with black pepper. Plant parasitic nematodes, such as Meloidogyne incognita, Rotylenchulus reniformis, Radopholus similis, Helicotylenchus dihystera and Macroposthonia sp. and fungal pathogens such as Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia sp. and Pythium sp., were associated with black pepper plants in surveyed areas. The disease severity was higher in regions where M. incognita co-existed with fungal pathogens. F. solani was the predominant pathogen along with M. incognita in the areas surveyed. Pot culture studies were conducted to investigate the interaction between nematodes and fungi. Plants inoculated with M. incognita 14 days before F. solani exhibited t h e highest (100 %) and early (24 days) disease incidence, as evidenced by the increased number of giant cells, distortion of vascular bundles and plugging of fungal mycelia in xylem vessels. The highest defense enzyme activity and phenol content were observed in plants inoculated with M. incognita + F. solani 14days after nematode inoculation. Results of the study highlighted that nematode infestation predisposes plants to fungal infection and synergistic interaction between nematode and fungal pathogen increases disease severity in field conditions.

Published: December 2024

The study was carried out to quantify the carbon stock and sequestration potential of the multifunctional agroforestry (MFA) system established for small and marginal farmers in Tamil Nadu, India. The MFA consists of 316 multi-utility trees and shrubs across four quadrats and border trees on a 0.75 acre land. The results showed significant variation in the above-ground and below-ground carbon stock among the different tree and shrub species. Neolamarckia cadamba recorded the highest above and below-ground stock of 70.65 kg tree-1 and 18.37 kg tree-1, respectively. The total carbon sequestered by the vegetation was 3.82 tons (3823.94 kg), with the highest contribution from Quadrat II (1591.85 kg) and the lowest from border trees (132.30 kg). The soil organic carbon (SOC) stock decreased with increasing depth, with the maximum stock observed in the 0–20 cm layer. The total change in SOC stock from the MFA during the study period was 12.99 mg ha-1, with a carbon sequestration rate of 0.18 mg ha-1 yr-1. The total carbon revenue from the vegetation and soil was estimated at US$ 311.4 (US$ 140.3 from vegetation and US$ 171.1 from soil). The findings highlight the significant potential of MFA systems in carbon sequestration and mitigation of climate change, particularly for small and marginal farmers in developing countries.
The Borders of Boundlessness: A Reassessment of the Dissolution of Boundaries in in the Contemporary Artworld
Authors: Scheller Jörg
Published: December 2024

In this article, the early critique of intermedia aesthetics and border-crossing in the arts is reassessed against the background of the contemporary dissolution not only of media boundaries but also of disciplinary, categorical, social boundaries. In 1974, the art critic Rosalind Krauss warned against a trivialization of the dissolution of art’s boundaries in the “post-media condition”. With recourse to Frederic Jameson, she argued that “this leeching of the aesthetic out into the social field in general” ran the risk of mimicking the boundlessness of capitalism. In the same year, Allan Kaprow, the pioneer of happenings, criticized the dissolution of boundaries between video art and entertainment for a broad audience: “Like so much Art Tech of recent years, video environments resemble world’s fair ‘futurama’ displays with their familiar nineteenth-century push-buPon optimism and didacticism. They are part fun house, part psychology lab.” Today, it is worth reconsidering these statements against the backdrop of paradigmatic trends in the post-media condition and the post-modern “explosion of aesthetics” (Gianni Vattimo): inter- and transdisciplinarity, socially engaged arts, artivism, artistic research, critique of the autonomy of art, creative industries... Regardless of their differences, these trends reinforce each other and, particularly in the course of institutionalization and professionalization, may (unintentionally) jeopardize the critical role of the arts at a time when the freedom and autonomy of the arts are under pressure not only from economic capitalization but also from illiberalism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism. In what Belting and Buddensieg have called the art world of the “the global present”, border shifting and border crossing usually have positive connotations, while border formation has negative ones. The autonomy of art implies boundaries that are viewed with suspicion. Yet also for the authoritarian and instrumental mind, the autonomy of the arts is a taboo. There must be no boundary between art and society, or art and politics, or art and economy. With that said, I argue that in order to secure the critical role of the arts in democracies, it is salient to secure their autonomy and to exchange anew ideas about the meaningfulness of not absolute but relative boundaries between categories, disciplines, social systems. This means leaving behind the self-referential rhetoric of dissolving boundaries as something inherently good and re-evaluating the critique of the 1970s in light of the socio-political and economic trends of the present.
The long-term impact of lecturer talk on student learning: Japanese students’ reflections
Authors: Bao Dat
Published: December 2024

This pragmatic case study explores Japanese students’ perceptions of lecturer talk in an Australian higher-education setting. The main findings cover two sections. The first section discusses positive talk focusing on pedagogical strategies that enhance student engagement. Teachers can create a stimulating learning environment that fosters active participation and meaningful connections with students through personal anecdotes, real-world applications, and interactive discussions. The second section examines negative talk with poor impact on student learning experiences. Issues such as lack of clarity, low interaction, and undesirable teaching approaches hinder students’ comprehension and engagement, highlighting the importance of effective communication strategies in facilitating learning. The article concludes with practical recommendations provided by students to improve teacher communication and enhance the overall learning experience, emphasising the significance of student-centred, engaging, and inclusive teaching practices in promoting compelling lecturer talk.
The Four Types of Miracle Story Genre in the Third Gospel
Authors: Wasiak Wojciech
Published: December 2024

The article serves as a continuation of the previous study, further developing the narrative definition of the ‘miracle story’ genre. The four main types of this genre-healing, resurrection, exorcism, and nature miracles-are re-examined using narrative and form-critical methodologies. A comparative analysis of Luke’s use of these four types of miracle stories offers insights into their functions within the context of Luke’s overarching narrative. The study reveals that miracle stories primarily focus on the communal character of the Jewish crowd, with the exception of nature miracles, which place the disciples at the center of the pericopes.
Wpływ administracji publicznej na funkcjonowanie instytucji kultury – aspekty organizacyjne
Authors: Ablewicz Joanna
Published: December 2024

This article discusses the organizational dependence of cultural institutions on their organizers, i.e. ministers, heads of central offices and local government units. The cultural organizer fulfils the role of administrator of       a cultural institution, as its existence depends on him. First, he or she defines the purpose of the cultural institution, then issues an act on its establishment (in which its object of activity is defined, inter alia), adopts its statutes, equips the institution with property and resources to start and conduct its activity, appoints and dismisses its director, finances it, and finally may merge, divide, co-manage the cultural institution or liquidate it. The organizer is also obligated to provide the cultural institution with the resources necessary to start cultural activities and to maintain the facility in which those activities are carried out. The paper argues that the organizers of cultural institutions often treat them as their property, interfere in their activities, use their property free of charge and assign them tasks arbitrarily, without any legal empowerment. The statutes and other acts  of selected cultural institutions analysed here, as well as the jurisprudence of administrative courts, allow us to conclude that cultural institutions still do not have organizational independence, and in fact their organizational dependence on the organizer is considerable, and consequently their duties, which they are obliged to fulfil without any basis for doing so, are also high.
Strategia rozwoju gminy jako główne narzędzie służące do prowadzenia polityki rozwoju – analiza wybranych zagadnień
Authors: Kowalewski Mateusz
Published: December 2024

In the Act on the Principles of Development Policy, the legislator has indicated that the main tool for implementing development policy is the municipal development strategy. In addition, it has identified which actors are carrying out the development policy. One of the ways to monitor the progress of the strategy is the report on the state of the municipality. In 2023, a number of legislative changes were undertaken that significantly affect the functioning of municipalities (more broadly, local government units). On 1 January 2026, regulations will enter into force that will significantly change the nature of the municipal development strategy. The aims of the article are: (1) to establish what development policy is and what the tools for its implementation are, (2) to determine what factors inhibit the development of a municipality, (3) to indicate de lege ferenda postulates in connection with the above-mentioned issues. A dogmatic-legal method was adopted as a research method, along with the study of the positions of the Polish doctrine, as well as the qualitative research using the FGI method. This analysis is important for science because it relates to the foundations of local self-government, on which research must be conducted on a permanent basis, due to changing circumstances and legal conditions.

Published: December 2024

Objectives

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of pre-operative imaging regarding selecting cases of children’s who underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy due to adrenal masses in two tertiary medical centers.

Methods

We performed a retrospective review of all laparoscopic adrenalectomy performed at two tertiary medical centers in Israel between 2017 and 2023.

Results

Sixteen (n=16) patients, 10 girls and six boys, underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy through a transperitoneal approach. The median age was 10 years (range: eight months to 17.3 years). Six masses were incidentalomas. Preoperative imaging (ultrasonography, CT, and MRI) demonstrated a mass in the right adrenal (n=9) and left adrenal (n=7), with tumor sizes ranging from 1.8 to 5.3 cm in maximum diameter. Operative results showed minimal blood loss and no conversions to laparotomy. There were no postoperative complications. Pathological diagnoses included neuroblastoma (n=8), cortical hormone-secreting tumors (n=3), pheochromocytoma (n=2), adrenal cortical adenoma (n=2), and adrenal metastatic Ewing sarcoma (n=1). Eleven masses were defined as benign and five as malignant tumors.

Conclusions

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy appears to be a safe and effective technique in selected cases with adrenal masses. Among our cohort, malignant masses were more common compared to the predominantly benign adrenal masses seen in adults. Vascular encasement was a major factor in determining the feasibility of the laparoscopic approach, with preoperative imaging playing a critical role in this assessment.

Published: December 2024

Organoarsenic can be applied to feed to improve feed efficiency or as a radiation dosimeter, as presented in this study. A developed radiochromic solution and powder based on p-arsanilic acid (P-ASA) was evaluated at various concentrations. Using a UV–vis Spectrophotometer, EPR analysis were operated, the spectrophotometric characteristics of P-ASA aqueous solutions that were both unirradiated and gamma-irradiated were evaluated. For applications involving moderate dose dosimetry, two absorption peak intensities were observed at λ
max 300 nm and 361 nm following gamma ray exposure within the range of up to 4.5 kGy. The results indicate that P-ASA solutions exhibit good dosimetric properties and can be considered as a dosimeter.
Perspectivas sobre a análise e importância de amostras de DNA de toque para a elucidação de crimes.
Authors: De Oliveira Francisco Daniela , Fridman Cintia
Published: December 2024

Impressões digitais são vestígios encontrados em cenas de crimes que podem ser usados em análises forenses para a obtenção de perfis STR a partir do DNA recuperado das mesmas, técnica conhecida como DNA de Toque. Porém, muitos fatores podem afetar a obtenção e a qualidade desses perfis, como a porosidade da superfície em que o DNA foi depositado, as condições ambientais nas quais a amostra ficou exposta, a capacidade inerente que cada indivíduo possui de doar mais ou menos células (status shedder), o nível de degradação do DNA, entre outros. Além disso, uma vez coletadas, as amostras de DNA de Toque se mostram desafiadoras, na medida em que o processamento de quantidades ínfimas de material genético pode ocasionar uma série de artefatos nos perfis gerados, o que dificulta a identificação do contribuidor ali presente. Em um país como o Brasil, no entanto, em que o índice de criminalidade é alto, vem crescendo o número de vestígios dessa natureza coletados, e, portanto, torna-se evidente a necessidade no aperfeiçoamento dessa técnica com o intuito de gerar perfis mais completos e passíveis de interpretações corretas.

Published: December 2024

O meio ambiente está sendo constantemente degradado, demandando adaptação por parte de algumas pessoas para que se alcance um equilíbrio ecológico. O Ministério Público do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul desempenha um papel fundamental na proteção ambiental, especialmente na negociação de acordos de ajustamento de conduta relacionados a infrações ambientais. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi mapear temporalmente os principais temas ambientais nos quais o Ministério Público do Estado firmou acordos, identificando o cumprimento das ações acordadas e as situações em que esses termos não foram cumpridos, no período de janeiro de 2011 a dezembro de 2020. A metodologia adotada incluiu a análise documental de acordos firmados e dados correlatos obtidos por meio do Portal Nacional de Licenciamento Ambiental do Ministério do Meio Ambiente. Além disso, foi realizada uma breve inferência correlacionando as atividades licenciáveis ambientais no Estado com as possíveis atividades relacionadas aos temas dos acordos de ajustamento de conduta firmados. Observaram-se diferenças significativas no número de acordos firmados em 2011 em comparação com 2020. A partir de 2016, novos temas surgiram nos acordos de ajustamento de conduta, como agrotóxicos, esgotamento sanitário, recursos hídricos, resíduos sólidos-outros, revogação e concessão de licenças ambientais. Houve um número expressivo de acordos de ajustamento no grupo de 'outras hipóteses', indicando a importância de novos temas ambientais emergentes a serem tutelados e classificados. Em relação aos temas ambientais, os grupos de assuntos mais frequentes no período foram flora (42%), outras hipóteses (35%), fauna (7%), poluição sonora (5%), poluição hídrica (4%), resíduos sólidos urbanos (4%) e poluição atmosférica (2%). Este resultado é muito semelhante ao encontrado em outros estados, como Minas Gerais, Paraná e Santa Catarina. Portanto, a delimitação das regiões onde ocorrem mais frequentemente cada tipo de infração torna este estudo de grande relevância para educadores ambientais e órgãos de fiscalização atuarem na educação e repreensão dessas infrações.

Este estudo objetivou traçar o perfil epidemiológico para as ocorrências de morte por afogamento para o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, tendo como base dados secundários do Instituto Geral de Perícias de Porto Alegre (IGP-RS). Foram analisados 1.325 casos registrados deste acidente, ocorridos entre janeiro 2012 e dezembro de 2021. Considerou-se as variáveis sexo, idade, meses, anos, municípios, mesorregiões e ambientes dos casos registrados. O perfil epidemiológico aponta adultos na faixa etária dos 20 anos aos 59 anos, do sexo masculino, como os mais propícios a este evento. Destacam-se como período de maior ocorrência, os meses de dezembro, janeiro e fevereiro (estação de verão). Dentre os 497 Municípios, 310 possuíram ocorrências do acidente no período, destacando-se 14 Municípios. A mesorregião que necessita de maior atenção é a metropolitana. Os ambientes lóticos obtiveram maior incidência que os ambientes lênticos, recebendo destaque entre esses o Rio Gravataí e o Lago Guaíba. Os resultados obtidos podem servir como base para promover políticas públicas de segurança e saúde auxiliando ações de prevenção, mais efetivas para evitar a morte por afogamento.
Defense Budget Gaps and Legal Implications of Alternative Financing in Indonesia: A Legal Reform Perspective
Authors: Marsudiyanto Aris , Subroto Athor , Brodjonegoro Bambang Permadi Soemantri , Ghafur A. Hanief Saha
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the critical defense budget gap in Indonesia, which has become a pressing issue over the past decade. With global challenges, particularly the escalating wars in the Middle East, Indonesia faces growing security concerns that necessitate a stronger defense program. However, the country’s defense budget allocation, ranging from 0.5 to 0.9 percent of GDP, remains insufficient to meet the required defense expenditures. Using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) approach, we predict future budget availability and compare it with the projected defense needs, revealing a significant gap. To address this, the paper explores alternative financing mechanisms, such as optimizing military assets, enhancing the defense industry, leveraging Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), and integrating these strategies. The urgency of addressing this funding shortfall is heightened by Indonesia’s need for robust defense capabilities in an increasingly unstable geopolitical environment. This study’s novelty lies in analyzing the legal implications of these alternative financing options, an area that has received limited attention in defense policy discourse. It critically examines the legal challenges posed by these financing mechanisms, particularly in relation to Indonesia’s existing laws, including Law No. 17 of 2003 on State Finances, Law No. 3 of 2002 on National Defense, and various regulations governing defense industry and national security. The paper’s contribution lies in offering a comprehensive legal analysis of alternative financing in Indonesia’s defense sector, proposing necessary legal reforms to facilitate these strategies. By providing policy recommendations, this study aims to inform lawmakers, defense planners, and legal scholars about the complexities and potential solutions to closing Indonesia’s defense budget gap while ensuring compliance with national legal frameworks.
The Definition And Essence Of The Judicial Precedent As A Source Of Law: General Theoretical Foundations
Authors: Savetchuk N.M.
Published: December 2024

The study of role and place of judicial precedent in the system of sources of law is the purpose of the article. Nowadays the judicial precedent becomes especially popular among the sources of law.
Judicial precedent is a decision taken by a higher judicial authority in a particular case, which is considered binding on other courts when considering similar cases.
Traditionally, England is commonly known as the birthplace of precedent. The development of public relations has led to the centralization of power. In the absence of legislative acts there was necessity to adopt similar decisions by the courts when considering similar cases.
There is no consensus among scholars as to the place of judicial precedent in the system of sources of national law. In the continental legal system, judicial precedent exists alongside other sources of law. Instead, the influence of the court on the formation and development of law has been reflected in the theory of case law. Established judicial practice is recognized as a source of law in the countries of the Romano-German legal family, including in Ukraine.
In our country, judicial precedent is not attributed to the sources of law, since it is only advisory. The fact that the law is expressed and implemented in legislation and bylaws confirms that it cannot be expressed in court precedents at all, since the judicial precedent is not officially a source of law in Ukraine. At the same time, there is a tendency to increase the importance of case law in the settlement of public relations.
Judicial precedent in Ukraine is in fact a precedent for interpretation, which develops and details the provisions of legislative acts, interprets the contradictory or unclear content of legal norms, i.e. grants the law with compelling content and promotes a unified approach to the application of legal norms.
State System In The Constitutional Process (1992-1993)
Authors: Adamovych S.V.
Published: December 2024

In the article the author investigates the problem of the state system of Ukraine in the constitutional process in 1992-1993. At this stage of the constitutional process, scholars and politicians debated the possibility of introducing a bicameral legislature, but overwhelmingly advocated the unitary status of the country and the introduction of real self-government. Since the adoption of the Act of Independence of Ukraine, the development and adoption of a new Constitution has acquired a new meaning associated with the existence of Ukraine as an independent state, which has been recognized by the international community. Under such conditions, a period of active scientific and theoretical search and testing of the developed versions of the Constitution and specific constitutional norms has come.
The political and socio-economic crisis due to the destruction of the Soviet authoritarian model of public administration did not allow the adoption of a new Constitution of Ukraine. The adoption of the Basic Law was hampered by the struggle between the legislative and executive branches of government for power, as well as the revival of the influence of communist politicians who advocated a return to the principles of the Soviet state system. In this regard, the presidential vertical of power even considered the adoption of the «Small Constitution».
However, it is important that the basis of the further constitutional process was the draft Constitution as amended on October 26, 1993, which distinguished a high degree of democracy and balance of power. During 1992-1993, the content of the draft Basic Law was crystallized through a wide public and expert discussion, including for the sake of establishing the unitary status of the country and spreading the ideas of giving real powers to local self-government. The question of the need to introduce bicameralism, which, according to some scholars, should remove interregional contradictions and ensure the balanced socio-economic development of the whole country, remained debatable.
The Principles Of The Exercise Of Subjective Family Rights: Doctrinal Approaches To The Concept
Authors: Lohvinova M.V.
Published: December 2024

Among the variety of principles of law, the author focuses on the study of law enforcement, an integral part of which are the principles of exercising subjective rights. The article argues that the principles of the exercise of subjective family rights should be considered as a subspecies of the principles of family law. To confirm this thesis, the article answers a number of the following theoretical questions: 1) what should be understood by the principles of the exercise of subjective family rights; 2) what is their relationship with other principles of law, in particular with the principles of family law; 3) whether the principles of exercising subjective family rights are different from the general principles of exercising of rights (first of all, from the principles of exercising subjective civil rights), and what are their characteristic features.
The concept of the principles of the exercise of subjective family rights is formulated by the author as a set of basic (guiding) regulations that indicate the limits of possible and appropriate behavior in the exercise of subjective family rights, as well as determine the content and direction of relevant legal regulation.
At the same time, the author proves that the principles of the exercise of subjective family rights are derived from both intersecesical (civilistic) principles of exercise of rights and from the sectoral principles of family law.
The principles of the exercise of subjective family rights are characterized by a set of features, as they have: objective character (reflect the existing patterns of legal regulation of relevant family relations); normative character (enshrined in the rules of law in direct or indirect form); systemic character (is a systematized set of basic provisions that cover all aspects of legal regulation of specific family relations); special character (are derived from the legal principles of the highest level and reflect the peculiarities of the realization of subjective family rights).

Legislation of Ukraine, in particular in the field of commercial and corporate law, is characterized by dynamism, continuous improvement and gradual approximation to EU law. Today, a significant array of regulations has been formed. The issue of assessing the effectiveness of legal borrowing is especially relevant.Most methods, if we are talking about those that are not limited to a single country were elaborated by European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. In 1995, the EBRD developed the Legal Indicator Survey (LIS). The Legal Questionnaire has become a tool for the EBRD to obtain information from legal practitioners, international law firms on their views on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of implementing a rule of law or an entire law.A new questionnaire was developed in 2003 (Legal Indicator Survey, 2003). The purpose of the questionnaire was to assess the functioning of legal norms in a certain scenario. There was an objective need to develop such a questionnaire, which would include an assessment of the complex of social relations governed by a particular institution of law. This is what the Legal Sector Assessment (LSA) has become. The first LSA was the Secured Transactions Regional Survey. Compared to the LIS, the purpose of the legal questionnaire was to provide a comprehensive assessment of the achievements of the legal system in the relevant field.The author emphasizes that besides EBRD World bank is actively working to assess the effectiveness of certain sectors of national legal systems. Another example of evaluating the effectiveness of law is the World Bank’s Report on Observance of Standards and Codes.The author concludes that regardless of the chosen method of assessing the effectiveness of legal norms, there is always an element of subjectivity, none of the methods of effectiveness of legal borrowing is perfect. However, the use of such methods improves law enforcement in a particular area, contributes to the quality of lawmaking.There is no universal criterion that could assess the effectiveness of legal norms, legal borrowings. It is possible to give only an approximate list of indicators, the analysis of which can answer the question of the effectiveness and success. Such indicators include: 1) indicators of economic growth; 2) dynamics and level of investments; 3) qualitative and quantitative indicators of dispute resolution, etc.

Analyzes of legal doctrine and legislative geological study of subsoil gave grounds to derive the characteristics inherent in this type of subsoil use.First, the right of geological study occupies an independent place in the system right for subsoil use law and is fundamental to other types of subsoil use.Secondly, in its content geological study of the subsoil is a research, exploration activity, complex in its content, which is divided into a number of stages, stages.Third, the fundamental requirement for geological study is the requirement to repeat the study of subsoil structure and the reliability of conclusions about mineral deposits, subsoil structure, and so on.Fourth, the result of geological study of the subsoil is to obtain geological information, which has its own special legal regime.Fifth, the use of subsoil for geological study has its own characteristics and the order of use for other types of subsoil use.Sixth, works on geological study of subsoil, as a rule, are carried out on the basis of approved national target programs and are financed from the State budget.Seventh, the relationship to the geological study of subsoil is subject to regulation of numerous regulations of different legal force and industry affiliation.By its legal nature, geological law (the law of geological study of subsoil as an objective law) is a system of environmental, subsoil, land, economic, property, administrative, informational, financial and other norms. As a subjective, right-geological study of subsoil is a statutory ability of exploiters to exploit for the purpose of studying their buildings, processes occurring in the depths of the earth’s surface, quantitative and biological composition of mineral deposits and obtaining complete and reliable geological information.

The development of a circular economy is an important task for socially responsible politicians, scientists and businesses. Despite growing interest in this concept over the past decade, the implementation of circular business models remains limited. One of the key barriers is the insufficient utilization of accounting and reporting capabilities, which are practical tools for transitioning to a circular economy. These tools support informed managerial decision-making in building and maintaining circular business models and processes. To explore the scientific interest in accounting and reporting as a means of supporting the transition to and development of a circular economy, a bibliometric analysis was conducted. This analysis utilized data from the Scopus database (845 documents from 2004 to 2024) and was further processed using VOSviewer to construct maps based on bibliographic data. The data allowed for the identification of authors and their collaboration clusters, dominant publications and regions in the research field, as well as important directions for further studies. The clustering of the conceptual landscape under study revealed seven keyword-based clusters and their interconnections, highlighting research priorities. It was established that, despite significant progress in the theoretical development of the circular economy from an interdisciplinary perspective, organizational and economic tools—particularly accounting and reporting—remain underexplored. The findings indicate the significant potential of accounting and reporting, which must be considered in the training of socially responsible accountants, financiers, and managers. The study emphasizes the need for further adaptation of accounting and reporting to meet the requirements of the circular economy, thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

The article analyzes approaches to defining the fiscal mechanism. The authors presented its essence from the perspective of the concept of sustainable development, and also revealed its role in counteracting negative environmental externalities and adapting to climate change. It is determined that the state's use of the fiscal mechanism to ensure the conditions for sustainable development of society is carried out using its components, each of which is aimed at achieving a certain goal and objectives of forming an eco-socio-economic system through fiscal relations. In the structure of the fiscal mechanism as a hierarchical system, such relatively independent components (subsystems of the second order) are distinguished as the mechanism for accumulating budget revenues (in combination with tax, credit (loan), domain-regalia mechanisms), the expenditure-budget mechanism (as a set of the budget expenditure mechanism and the mechanism for repaying state and local debts). The theoretical analysis of issues of countering negative environmental externalities allowed us to classify specific instruments and levers of the fiscal mechanism into the following groups:budget expenditures of different levels intended to counter negative environmental externalities and adapt to climate change, namely, state and municipal loans and investments in green economy facilities, green economy subsidies, direct financing of environmental protection measures; specific tax instruments of environmental focus (energy and fuel taxes; transport taxes; taxes on emissions that cause global changes; payments for pollution, waste disposal and recycling, for the use of natural resources and subsoil, for noise impact, etc.); non-tax revenue instruments (revenues from auctions of emission permits); loan instruments of environmental focus (green bonds, sustainable development bonds, climate bonds issued by state and local authorities); quasi-fiscal instruments (international and intergovernmental grants and assistance (including within the framework of international climate initiatives), national climate initiatives).
