Authors: Mijares Víctor M. , González Paula Alejandra
Published: July 2021

After the signing of peace in Colombia, attention has been directed to the difficult process of implementing the agreements. This complex scenario has downplayed the problem of Colombian military transformation. The basis of that transformation, the Damasco doctrine, the, has encountered resistance within the Colombian Military Forces. Through the application of a process tracing method, we infer that there is a non-linear process, but in progress towards the fulfillment of the objectives of the doctrine. Thus, we identify three drivers that are making this transformation progress: a renewed confrontation with Venezuela; the changing nature of the domestic conflict; and the Colombia’s NATO global partner status.
DEFESA NACIONAL E DESENVOLVIMENTO: DIÁLOGOS ENTRE O SIGNIFICADO DE “AUTONOMIA” EM HÉLIO JAGUARIBE E A ESTRATÉGIA NACIONAL DE DEFESA
Authors: Nogueira da Gama Pedro
Published: July 2021

In his studies on development, international relations and national defense issues, political scientist Hélio Jaguaribe reflected on Brazil’s “autonomy” since the country is inserted in the interstate capitalist system. First approved in 2008, the National Defense Strategy was created with the aim of promoting a modernization of the Brazilian defense structure. This article proposes to understand the meanings of “autonomy” in the strategic thinking of Jaguaribe. In addition, it presents a potential dialogue between his formulations and the guidelines of the National Defense Strategy in its different versions.
THE REFORM OF THE BRAZILIAN ANTI-DUMPING REGIME: A PARTIAL REVIEW OF THE DETERMINANTS AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF DECREE 8,058/2013
Authors: Poerschke Rafael Pentiado , Henkin Hélio , Da Silva Ricardo Dias
Published: July 2021

This study considers the development and reform of the anti-dumping regime in Brazil as a ratification example of the multilateral trading system proposed by the World Trade Organization (WTO). Brazil's history of leadership in the WTO Rounds, as well as its emergence among users of temporary barriers illustrates the fact that developing countries participate, with some success, in the endorsement and strengthening of the multilateral system itself. Using the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement (ADA) as a model for its own regulatory framework, this practice ensures that domestic legislation will have greater compliance to international obligations and avoid constraints via the Dispute Settlement Body. Finally, the case of Decree 8,058/2013 highlighted the importance that specialized agents in the middle management of the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC) have in the management and improvement of the Brazilian public policy.

Authors: Isnani Nur
Published: July 2021

English teachers have proximity control, which is described by walking closer to the noisy part of the class and continuing to be there until the commotion subsides. However, there are still some students who are indifferent during the learning process. Therefore, this research aims to determine the influence of English teacher's nonverbal interactions on EFL students' perception at State Islamic Senior High School 1 Bengkalis. This research is causal-comparative research. There are two instruments: observation and questionnaire. The population of this research is 208 students. Then, the researcher uses simple random sampling and chooses 40 students from all classes. Using simple linear regression analysis formula through SPSS 20.0 in analyzing the data, the researcher found that sig-t was 0.000, smaller than 0.05 (sig-t 0.05). The result showed a significant influence of the English teacher’s nonverbal interactions on EFL students’ perception at State Islamic Senior High School 1 Bengkalis. It means that Ha was accepted. The researcher also found that the value of R square was 0.546, namely squaring of the Standardized Coefficients ((0.739 x 0.739)2 x 100% = 0.546). R square can be called the coefficient of determination, which means that the English teacher's nonverbal interaction influences 54.6% of EFL students' perception. Then, the other 45.4% is influenced by other factors.

Authors: Alfaruqy Doni
Published: July 2021

Teaching listening needs improvement because many students get low scores on the listening test. This condition should be improved by providing a new teaching technique. Students in Mutiara Senior High School have problems in mastering a listening skill. They are difficult to catch the meaning while the listening test is given. The purposes of this study are to find out whether there is a significant increase after being taught by jigsaw technique and which motivation aspects (effort, goal, persistence, and frequency) have the most influence on students’ achievement in learning English. This experimental study was measured by pretest and posttest designs. The research subject was class XI of science class in even semester of Mutiara Senior High School in South Lampung. The instrument to measure students’ listening achievement was a listening comprehension test which consisted of 30 multiple choices. Another instrument was a close-ended questionnaire with 20 questions to know which motivation aspect had the most influence on students’ English achievements. The data were analyzed by using the t-test formula. The computation result showed that t-ratio in the experimental class had a significant increase from pretest (49.13) to posttest (71.45) after being taught by the jigsaw technique. The result of the computation showed that the value of the two-tailed significance was 0.000. Since the sign α (0.000 0.05), the value indicated that the numbers represented the significance. It means that the treatment given had a better effect on students’ ability. In addition, it revealed that the most influential motivation aspect was an effort. Therefore, students’ personal or group tasks should be supported by giving rewards and punishment to improve students’ efforts in learning.
Students’ Speaking Anxiety: Ready or Not
Authors: Palupi Risqi Ekanti Ayuningtyas
Published: July 2021

Language is the main common field for communication. For that reason, communication skills must take part in learning a language. Speaking is being a part of English lessons in schools today. However, making students speak English is not always easy, and there can be several different reasons it happens. One possible reason is speaking anxiety and its influence on second language acquisition. The study aims to analyze the students’ speaking anxiety when they are in the speaking session. The study is based on literature and contains an interview with the teacher. It is stated that speaking anxiety inhibits students from speaking, which hurts their skills. The research shows that speaking is not the main issue at schools. A reason is that speaking anxiety is not seen as a problem concerning language teaching since it can be considered a social difficulty. In order to enrich speaking in a classroom, it is essential to strive for a joyful atmosphere where every student can feel relaxed and motivated to communicate orally.
Zinc finger protein ZFP36 and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase PDK1 are key elements in the ABA-mediated aluminum tolerance in rice
Authors: Su Nana , Wu Qi , Shabala Sergey , Demidchik Vadim , Yu Min , Jiang Mingyi , Huang Liping
Published: July 2021

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the major limiting factor for plant production
and crop yield on acid soils. Previous works revealed that ZFP36 played
a key role in plant adaptation to water stress and rice blast. Here, we
report another function of ZFP36, which is associated with
detoxification of Al toxicity through abscisic acid (ABA)- dependent
mechanism, in rice. Al exposure significantly increased ZFP36 expression
level in an ABA-dependent manner. Knocking down ZFP36 triggered Al
sensitivity, while overexpressing ZFP36 resulted in an increased Al
tolerance. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq), yeast
one-hybrid assay, and dual luciferase test revealed that a
tonoplast-localized Al transporter, OsALS1, and antioxidant defense
enzymes were targeted by ZFP36. Moreover, by combining yeast two-hybrid
assay, bimolecular fluorescence complement (BiFC), GST pull-down and in
vitro phosphorylation assay, we showed that ZFP36 could interact with
and be phosphorylated by the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase OsPDK1. A
strong association was found between the expression, protein content and
kinase activity of OsPDK1 with the responses to ABA and Al. Using
transgenic plants, we have showed that OsPDK1 could inhibit OsALS1
expression via regulating ZFP36. Overall, our data demonstrates a new
ZFP36-controlled mechanism of Al defense in rice plants, which is
mediated by OsPDK1.
Sediment Regimes in South Korea
Authors: Yang Chun-Yao , Kang Woochul , Hong Jai , Julien Pierre
Published: July 2021

This study provides a comprehensive review of the existing river
measurement data of South Korea. The specific sediment yield in the
country is 5–1,500 tons/km ·year. The watershed area
decisively affects the shapes of the curves for flow duration, sediment
rating, and cumulative distribution of water and sediment discharge, and
it can determine the effects of topographic and anthropogenic
characteristics on erosion and sedimentation processes. Regarding flow
regime, small watersheds have flashy hydrographs and high sediment
concentrations at a given flow discharge. The coefficient of the
sediment rating curves for various rivers decreases from 1 to 0.02 as
the watershed area increases from 100 to 20,000 km ,
with the exponent of the curves ranging from 1.5 to 2.0. Moreover,
sediment transport in small watersheds depends on large floods. The
half-yield discharge typically ranges from 5 to 40 times the mean
discharge, and it decreases with increasing watershed area. This study
proposes equations to calculate the annual discharges, flow duration
curves, sediment yield, and cumulative distribution curves of the flow
and sediment, as well as the sediment yield at reservoirs in South
Korea. Additionally, the sediment regimes in the country are compared to
those in other continental regions.
The past, present and future of gravitational wave astronomy
Authors: Leverenz H. , Filipovic M.D.
Published: July 2021

Gravitational Waves (GWs) have become a major source of insight in Multi Messenger Astronomy since their first direct detection in 2015 (Abbott et al. 2016) where the Nobel prize in Physics was awarded in 2017 to LIGO founders Barry C. Barish, Kip S. Thorne, and Rainer Weiss. They complement electromagnetic and particle measurements by providing cosmic scale evidence which cannot be detected in any other way. Their rise to prominence has not been straightforward since the founder of general relativity, Albert Einstein, who predicted GWs, was nevertheless skeptical of their existence and detectability. This skepticism put a damper on Gravitational Wave (GW) research that was not overcome until the 1950's, the decade of Einstein's death. Since then, ever more sensitive GW detectors have been designed for construction on earth and in space. Each of these detector approaches was designed to expand the types of cosmic events that could be detected.
Stress and arterial hypertension - from pathophysiology to pharmacology

Published: July 2021

Currently, arterial hypertension is the most massive chronic non-infectious disease of mankind. It may remain undiagnosed for years, provoking later complications, such as acute heart failure, cerebrovascular stroke, myocardial infarction, renal failure, hypertensive retinopathy, or sudden death. Primary arterial hypertension is more common, while secondary occurs in about 5?20% of cases. The recent studies have shown that stress may be a core factor in the development of essential hypertension in some patients. For the patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, stress is the dominant etiological factor that leads to the disease. It has been proven that chronic stress can affect blood pressure regulation and endocrine-metabolic functions through the limbic-hypothalamic centers; therefore, it can affect the arterial hypertension development. The strong association between stress and arterial hypertension has also been confirmed in preclinical and animal studies. For the pharmacotherapy approach, the most important are beta-adrenergic blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and AT1-receptor blockers (sartans). As a second line treatment, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, alpha-adrenergic blockers, and central antihypertensive agents may be required. The anxiolytics, such as benzodiazepines, should be considered if chronic anxiety and psychosomatic disorders are present.
The Role of Construal Alignment in Enterprise Risk Management
Authors: Liu Xin , Wong-On-Wing Bernard
Published: July 2021

According to the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2017), two important elements of an organization's enterprise risk management (ERM) framework are its risk management philosophy, and its risk appetite and tolerance. Based on Construal Level Theory (CLT), we posit that the effectiveness of ERM depends on the extent of alignment (non-fit or fit) between mental representations (high versus low construal) of those two ERM elements. We test our hypothesis across two risk cases: safety and confidentiality. Results of our experiment suggest that employees are more proactive when there is a construal fit between the emphasis placed on a firm's risk management philosophy and its expression of the key risk indicators (KRIs). This benefit is observed in the confidentiality case, but not in the safety case. Implications are discussed.
Disclosure to Regulate Learning in Product Markets from the Stock Market
Authors: Arya Anil , Ramanan Ram N.V.
Published: July 2021

A firm's stock price may reveal information to a variety of participants, including its strategic partners and competitive rivals. This paper establishes that when a firm discloses cost information it can confound decision-relevant demand information embedded in the stock price that observers can otherwise extract. With stock price valuing firm profit (not cost and revenue separately), a disconnect is introduced between the firm's actions and its intent—it discloses more (less) on one dimension when its intent is to conceal (reveal) on another. Moreover, the firm's intent can be to either reveal or conceal information depending on what gives its partner the best competitive edge over its rival. Consequently, a firm's disclosure is made strategically, incorporating both valuation and competitive effects. Interestingly, the firm's disclosure strategy is designed in close concert with its production decision, i.e., the firm's optimal accounting and real decisions interact with each other for maximum impact.

Published: July 2021

Validating a thermal disinfection process for the processing of medical devices using moist heat via direct temperature monitoring is a conservative approach and has been established as the A0 method. Traditional use of disinfection challenge microorganisms and testing techniques, although widely used and applicable for chemical disinfection studies, do not provide as robust a challenge for testing the efficacy of a thermal disinfection process. Considerable research has been established in the literature to demonstrate the relationship between the thermal resistance of microorganisms to inactivation and the A0 method formula. The A0 method, therefore, should be used as the preferred method for validating a thermal disinfection process using moist heat.

Vulnerability of virtual assets to illicit financial flows
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Rysin V. , Rysin N. ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: July 2021

Over the last few years, virtual assets have become more widespread in the market, which has manifested itself both in the growth of transactions with them and in the rapid growth of the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market. The international community and individual governments have introduced regulations for the virtual asset market, but the degree of transparency remains low. This poses risks of using virtual assets as a tool for various schemes of money laundering or terrorist financing. The purpose of the article is to identify potential vulnerabilities of virtual currencies to the impact of shadow cash flows, as well as to assess existing approaches to regulating their circulation and prevent the use of these assets for money laundering purposes. The article highlights the standards developed in world practice for determining the legal status of virtual currencies and their state regulation, assesses the process of introducing regulation of the circulation of virtual assets in Ukraine. Imperfect regulation and insufficient experience in market monitoring lead to the vulnerability of virtual assets to their use in the movement of illicit cash flows, in particular in the schemes of money laundering. The authors identified some other vulnerabilities in virtual currencies, including the possibility of their use for financial fraud, tax evasion, instability of virtual currencies, limited control over their circulation, as well as the low level of protection of the rights of market participants. Overcoming these vulnerabilities requires a combination of public and private sector efforts, which should be aimed at creating safeguards for criminal capital to enter the virtual asset market, as well as to ensure market transparency and protect the interests of participants from potential losses and possible fraud. The virtual asset market is an innovative and promising segment of the financial market, so we consider the important task of its effective regulation to stimulate legal transactions and clearly separate them from illegal transactions.

Published: July 2021

Given the growing role of technological foresight as a tool for reconciling visions, goals and ways of STI development in an era of rapid technological change and global challenges, the approach to foresight research to select priorities for science and innovation in Ukraine for 2022–2026 has been improved. It takes into account a wide range of national targets for achieving SDGs by 2030. The developed Methodological recommendations provided a thorough analysis of more than 3,000 potentially acceptable technological and innovative proposals. The approach to setting STI priorities is new for Ukraine and involves a consistent process of selecting the top 30 most acceptable proposals in each of the seven thematic areas through five stages of discussions and evaluations. The result was the formation of a database of technology passports and developments on the experts’ proposals, their selection by practitioners, ranking, evaluation in terms of the potential of Ukrainian science and relevance in terms of world science and new technologies using international databases. They are the basis for decisions by the Expert Councils and the High-Level Working Group on key thematic areas and the preparation of a relevant draft government decision. Despite the conditions of quarantine, for the first time more than 2,500 experts from science, business, state and public organizations took part in the discussions, which is the basis for impartial and public decision-making. To strengthen the role of foresight as a tool for public planning and management in the field of STI, it is proposed to develop a STI roadmap as part of a research and innovation strategy for smart specialization (RIS 3) at the national level.

The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive research method that describes phenomena that actually occur in the field. The data source obtained through the interview process with informants and documents related to research. Data collection techniques are by means of observation, documentation and interviews. The data analysis technique used is an interactive analysis technique which consists of three components, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that community participation in the development of village facilities and infrastructure in Nagari Ladang Panjang was still lacking. In the construction of the new village guardian's office, for example, the community was reluctant to give away their land for free, even though in the end the village was able to convince the community to donate their land to build a new Nagari guardian office. In addition, not many people are willing to attend the deliberations for village development organized by the nagari government, this indicates a lack of public awareness or participation in village development in Nagari Ladang Panjang. Therefore, there is a need for approaches and counseling by the village government to the community on the importance of community participation in village development in Nagari Ladang Panjang

The purpose of this study is to identify the regional features of the new economic policy in the USSR on the example of the economic development of Kamchatka in the 1920s. The main results of the study have been related to the introduction of archival documents into scientific circulation, which allows identifying the specific features of the new economic policy in Kamchatka, as in the remote northern region of the USSR. The features of the economic policy of the 1920s in Kamchatka can be attributed to the fact that the chronological framework of the new economic policy was different than in the European part of the country; cooperation had weak organizational foundations; for a long time, there had been a presence of private domestic, and especially foreign capital in economic life. The topic of identifying the regional features of the new economic policy implemented by the Soviet government in the 1920s requires further discussion in the scientific community.

Authors: Bysaga Yuriy
Published: July 2021

One of the indicators of the fulfillment of international obligations by the state in the field of human rights is the perfect definition of the mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. The purpose of this article is to clarify the concepts and directions of the constitutional and legal mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen.

The methodological basis of the conducted research is the general methods of scientific cognitivism as well as concerning those used in legal science: methods of analysis and synthesis, formal logic, comparative law etc.

The rights and freedoms of a person are complex. Structural elements of the human rights protection mechanism are the mechanism of legal influence in the field of human rights, the mechanism of legal regulation in the field of human rights, the legal framework of human rights, the system of human rights guarantees, and the system of human rights protection. Such legal phenomena as the mechanism of guaranteeing the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens and the constitutional and legal mechanism of ensuring the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens are not identical. Only the mechanism of guaranteeing the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens contains both social and legal conditions and means that ensure the realization, protection and security of citizens' rights and freedoms.

The definition of the concept of constitutional and legal mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen has been clarified: this is the system of organizational and legal and legal means of influence, through which opportunities for the implementation of rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen are created, and in case of violation or threat of violation, their protection is exercised by the bodies which are not vested with jurisdiction and the protection of bodies vested with jurisdiction. The main activities of this mechanism are embodied into the forms of ensuring the constitutional rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen: ensuring the implementation, protection and security of these rights and freedoms
THE RIGHT TO GENDER IDENTITY: THE BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR UNDERSTANDING AND LEGAL ENFORCEMENT
Authors: Попович Терезія
Published: July 2021

The purpose of the study lies in highlighting and analyzing the basic principles of understanding and legal support of gender identity as a special legal phenomenon.

Methodologically, this work is based on the system of methods, scientific approaches, techniques and principles with the help of which the realization of the research aim is carried out. There have been applied universal, general scientific and special legal methods.

The article reveals that one of the main characteristics of gender identity in the scientific literature is considered to be a person’s acquisition of gender roles (that is, ways of behavior depending on people’s positions in gender differentiation) and the development of gender self-awareness (id est, awareness of their similarities and differences with representatives of their gender, in contrast to the opposite). Exercising the right to gender identity, we can talk about both the possibility of changing the biological sex and (or) social gender, which is expressed in changing not only physical data, but also a person’s consciousness, his or her worldview, social (in some cases – and legal) role in society, family ... social manners of gender (name, appearance, behavior model, etcetera). In addition, based on the international documents, one can single out general principles related to human rights and gender identity: universality; non-discrimination; personal autonomy; respect for human dignity, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identification.

Based on the conducted scientific research the author has come to certain conclusions. 1. Gender identity presupposes certain models of social behavior of a person in view of gender, which is determined by nature. Consequently, we are talking, first of all, about accepting or not accepting this fact. Thus, gender identity demonstrates the behavior of an individual in society, which is based on self-identification according to this individual’s gender. 2. The right to gender identity implies the ability of an individual to perform lawful actions that will serve for this person’s self-identification on the basis of gender. In accordance with this, we talk about actions of a legal (the enforcement of the right and duties based on self-identification) and of a medical nature (the possibility of changing (correcting) gender). In other words, the right to gender identity means an individual’s ability to freely act in society based on the social role with respect to which this individual identifies herself / himself on the basis of gender. 3. Despite the recommendatory nature of international legal acts in the field of ensuring the human right to gender identity, the international community is increasingly calling on states to take appropriate measures to properly comply with the principles of equality, non-discrimination, individual autonomy and respect for this individual dignity in realizing the right to gender identity and to ensure its proper legal regulation.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of the article is to research the process of constitutionalization of associative relations between Ukraine and European Union. The authors distinguish and reveal two significant aspects of this process: meaningful and implementing.

It is determined that the meaningful constitutionalization by its essence is the constitutional modernization, where the meaningful updation of the Constitutional provisions is being made in order to form the constitutional pillars for further democratization of social and political life in Ukraine, the approximation of the national political and legal system in accordance with the European values and principles, the improvement of the internal legal framework. The implementing aspect of constitutionalization means the purposeful formation of constitutional preconditions for the implementation of Association Agreement’s provisions to the national legal system. The authors stipulate that the fulfillment of both meaningful and implementing constitutionalization of Ukraine's association with EU shall be implemented mainly by incorporating of this process directly into the context of the constitutional reform in Ukraine.

The article analyzes the organizational and legal measures aimed at the realization by Ukraine of its European integration purpose and determines that such measures should be carried out by three fundamental directions. Such tendencies include: 1) reformation of the meaningful and implementing principles of the Fundamental Law of Ukraine in order to ensure the constitutional support of this process; 2) concretization and detalization of the constitutional norms and principles in legislation (primarily, in those legislative and bylaws that refer to the harmonization of national law with EU law); 3) legal and law enforcement activity of national public authorities, and especially judicial bodies of constitutional and general jurisdiction, in order to ensure the implementation of Association Agreement’s provisions.

The special attention is paid to certain problems of the reformation of Constitution of Ukraine ensuring the European integration. The authors express the critical reservations related to the amendments to the Constitution with the provisions of strategic orientation of Ukraine for the long term perspective.

The authors conclude that the implementation of constitutional reform and the establishment of associative relations with the EU are two interrelated processes. Therefore, only a high-level synchronization of measures carried out within these areas, the determination of their priorities, the coordination and concordance of current tasks will allow to develop a comprehensive strategy of a constitutional reform and provide a holistic nature to constitutional transformations.
