Voluntary disclosure quality, institutional ownership, and stock price volatility: Evidence from a frontier market
Authors: Belhaj Fethi , Jradi Dhouha , Hadriche Manel
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we examine the impact of voluntary financial disclosure quality on the stock price volatility of non-financial firms quoted on the Tunis Stock Exchange. Empirically, we first test the impact of voluntary disclosure quality on stock price volatility. Then, we examine the combined effect of voluntary disclosure quality and institutional ownership on stock price volatility. We study a sample of 411 annual reports of non financial companies listed on the Tunisian stock exchange observed over the 2010–2019 period. The results show that voluntary disclosure quality has a negative impact on stock price volatility. Our results also show that the impact of voluntary disclosure quality on stock price volatility is still significantly negative even after incorporating institutional ownership into our empirical model to test the robustness of our results. Moreover, the positive impact of institutional ownership on stock price volatility is lessened by its indirect relationship with voluntary financial disclosure quality.
Seedlings, stress, and sugar space: smaller ray parenchyma fractions may reinforce the nonstructural carbohydrate strategy of some young conifers in drought
Authors: Godfrey Jessie , Nelson Andrew S. , Topping Melissa , Pinto Jeremiah R.
Published: June 2023

We ask if drought generates a shift towards lower wood fractions
occupied by xylem parenchyma cells or higher wood densities, both
changes which might reduce the volume over which limited nonstructural
carbohydrates (NSC) are distributed and so concentrate the osmotic power
of any available sugars within a smaller space. Using one-year-old
Pinus ponderosa and Thuja plicata seedlings, we measured
photosynthesis, growth, stem water potential (Ψ ),
and wood NSC (sugar and starch) six times over ten weeks of drought and
once after a five-week recovery period. Within each sampling day, five
measurements separated by 6-hour intervals captured the diurnal dynamics
of Ψ and wood NSC. Measurements of ray parenchyma
fraction (RPF) and wood density at the experiment’s end demonstrated
that P. ponderosa acclimated to drought by significantly
decreasing RPF from a control average of 5.4 % to a drought-treated
average of 4.2 %, while the RPF of T. plicata was much lower to
start, declining insignificantly from 2.0 % to 1.8%. Wood density
differences were not significant between drought treatments, but were
significant between species. The anatomical changes observed in
droughted P. ponderosa would mean that the sugar concentrations
required to balance xylem tensions were not exceeded until approximately
-2.0 MPa.
Structural and Electrical Properties of Perovskite SrSnO 3 and Ruddlesden Popper Oxide Sr 2 SnO 4 : A comparative study
Authors: Kumar Upendra , Jatiya Manisha
Published: June 2023

Perovskites and Ruddlesden Popper oxide should have piqued the interest
of researchers looking for an alternative to fossil fuels to fill
societal gaps. Thus, in this paper, a comparative analysis of the
structural and electrical properties of perovskite SrSnO
and Ruddlesden Popper oxide Sr SnO
was carried out. Both the samples were prepared via
solid-state reaction route by taking stoichiometric amounts of SrCO
, SnO in accordance with SrSnO
and Sr SnO . The
single phase of the samples was obtained by heat treatment at several
temperatures, such as 1000°C and 1200°C. The X-ray diffraction analysis
of both samples suggests the formation of cubic structure under the
space group pm-3m and tetragonal structure under I4/mmm respectively for
SrSnO and Sr SnO .
The lattice strain and crystallite size were found to be higher for Sr
SnO than SrSnO ,
which might be due to difference in atomic arrangement. The Raman
studies confirm the symmetry and structure at the local level. The
electrical properties of SrSnO and Sr
SnO were studied as a function of
frequency (100 Hz to 2.5 MHz) and temperature range of (50–600°C).
These studies have indicated that the Sr SnO
shows improved value of electrical parameters such as
electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and tangent loss than
SrSnO . It has been observed that in Sr
SnO , the migration of mixed type
conduction takes place mainly along the a and c directions, i.e., via
perovskite cells useful for the mixed ionic and electronic conductor for
the intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell. The current work can
be further explored to develop electrode materials for IT-SOFCs by
lattice and structural modification.
Non-Wakefulness: On the Parallax between Dreaming and Awakening
Authors: Finkelde Dominik
Published: June 2023

Non-wakefulness proves to be a basic condition of experience, since human beings, living in webs of supernumerary information processes, can only build social relations through unacknowledged forms of passive or “interpassive” (Pfaller) structures of transference due to limited forms of being non-awake toward the properties of all kinds of things. This can cause multiple conflicts both for the individual human being reaching out to facts, as well as for political communities where one sees another as blinded by some kind of “dogmatic slumber”. The article tries to show how the concept non-wakefulness explains in what way mental states are – individually as well as collectively – in relation with objects that are necessarily “withdrawn” (Harman) from us as presented especially in contemporary debates on Speculative Realism. Furthermore, the text develops an understanding of waking-up as the latter marks the moment when a mental state of epistemic deficiency is temporarily left behind. Reality exists only insofar as it is smoothed out via unconscious structures of non-wakefulness, while in dreams objects may unconceal themselves for a short period of time when ‘secondary process’ functions (Freud) of our judgmental capacities are dropped.
Temporal Experience and On-Screen Violence: The Digital “Oner” in Action Cinema
Authors: Livingstone Tom
Published: June 2023

This essay explores the nature of temporal experience today by first examining the relationship between screen media and temporal experience, specifically with regards to the digital “oner.” I use the films from the Kingsman franchise to analyse the constituent parts of the “oner” focussing on how these effects and their modular deployment interact with spectatorial attention and the sensation of passing time. My conclusion suggests that the production of continuity within digital “oners” instantiates a form of abstract violence that is a constituent part of temporal experience more broadly.
Philosophy and Methodology in Clausewitz’s Work
Authors: Herberg-Rothe Andreas
Published: June 2023

In Clausewitz’s own view his work is akin to a philosophical structure of the art of war. This philosophical structure is most visible in his elaborations concerning the relation between theory and praxis— elaborations which make his work a treatise of practical philosophy. According to him, theory has to: (1) reveal the nature or essence of war; (2) reflect the difference between theory and practice; (3) provide recommendations for military action in war; (4) educate and cultivate the mind of the political and military leaders as well as that of the army; (5) follow the footsteps of Kantian critique. Last but not least, this article also offers an account of Clausewitz’s novel position regarding the dialectical thinking of its time.
Bonding Protocols to Reverse the Bond Strength of a Universal Adhesive to Hemostatic Agent-contaminated Dentin
Authors: Pratabsingha J , Noppawong S , Thamsoonthorn C , Vichathai W , Saikaew P
Published: June 2023

Objective:

To evaluate the effect of different bonding protocols on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive to dentin contaminated with a hemostatic agent.

Methods and Materials:

Ninety-five extracted premolars were used in this study. For the μTBS test, 80 teeth were cut to expose mid-coronal dentin and randomly divided into two groups (uncontaminated dentin and hemostatic agent-contaminated dentin). Each group was further divided into five subgroups (n=8/group): 1) SE: no additional treatment, 2) ER: etching with 32% phosphoric acid, 3) CHX: rinsing with 0.2% chlorhexidine, 4) EDTA: rinsing with 17% EDTA, and 5) T40: application of universal adhesive for 40 seconds. A universal adhesive was applied followed by resin composite build-up. μTBS test was performed after 24 hours of water storage. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was calculated followed by the Duncan testing (α=0.05). The failure mode was analyzed using light microscopy. Additional teeth were prepared for energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis (n=1/group) and resin-dentin interface observation (n=2/group) using scanning electron microscopy.

Results:

Adverse effects of hemostatic agent contamination on the bonding performance of a universal adhesive was found in the SE, CHX, and T40 groups (p<0.05). Fewer and shorter resin tags were observed in the SE, CHX, and T40 groups. A higher percentage of adhesive failure and mixed failure was found in contaminated dentin. All bonding protocols revealed lower amounts of Al and Cl after dentin contamination, except for the SE group.

Conclusions:

Hemostatic agent contamination adversely affected dentin bond strength. However, this bond strength could be reversed using the etch-and-rinse technique or rinsing with EDTA prior to adhesive application.
Characteristics of Intron 17 and Exon 18 of Leptin Receptor Gene in Nigerian Locally Adapted and Exotic Turkeys
Authors: DO Oguntade
Published: June 2023

Leptin Receptor gene (LEPR) gene has been implicated as the activator of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and plays an important role in regulating body energy storage and metabolism. Identification of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were carried out in intron 17 and exon 18 of LEPR gene in 200 turkeys comprising 100 each of Nigerian locally adapted and exotic (Nicholas White) turkeys. Blood samples for DNA extraction were collected at 20 weeks. DNA extraction was carried out using whole blood collected with Quick- DNA Miniprep Plus extraction kits by strictly followed the manufacturer’s protocol. The sequence data obtained were analyzed using GeneScan and Sequencing software (Applied Biosystems). The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in LEPR gene of the two turkey genotypes were identified using DnaSP 6 software. The allele frequency of each SNP, Heterozygosity (He) and Polymorphic information content (PIC) of the SNPs were calculated. Out of six SNPs identified in intron 17 of the turkey LEPR gene, four were found in local turkeys while all the six were found in exotic turkey. The major allele frequency of the SNPs ranged from 0.86 to 0.96. The SNP 28C>G in exotic turkey had the highest HE while SNPs 7T>G, 67A>T and 85G>C in local turkey had the least. The PIC ranged from 0.077 in local turkey to 0.211 in exotic turkey. In addition, ten SNPs were identified in exon 18 of the turkey LEPR gene, out of which eight were detected in local turkeys while seven were detected in exotic turkeys. The major allele frequency of the SNPs identified in exon 18 ranged from 0.54 in 602A>C in local turkey to 1.00 in 60T>G, 267A>G, 274A>G alleles that are fixed in both local and exotic turkeys. Also, SNP 602A>C in local turkey had the highest HE while incidentally SNPs 130G>C, 166G>A and 789G>A also in local turkey had the least heterozygosity. PIC discovered in exon 18 of LEPR gene ranged from 0.077 to 0.377 in local turkey. Intron 17 and exon 18 of LEPR gene is polymorphic in both Nigerian locally adapted and exotic turkeys and therefore could be used for further analysis to form a basis for genetic variation in growth in the two genotypes
War Reparations of the Russian Federation to Ukraine for Ecocide and Genocide: Legal Re-alities and Past Experience
Authors: Baranenko D. , Rusyn R.
Published: June 2023

Today, the study of ecocide and genocide is of great importance.Since the Russian Federation's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the latter has suffered many losses, including among the civilian population, which in turn has signs of genocide, and is daily subjected to nuclear blackmail and other threats and damages, the realization of which is regarded as ecocide.

Ecocide and genocide are grave crimes against humanity that are recognized internationally and require significant efforts to prevent them in the future. According to international and national law, ecocide and genocide are punishable by liability, including reparations for the damage caused. Such responsibility pursues two main goals: punishment for crimes committed and creating an example of consequences that will influence the legal consciousness of society in the direction of preserving peace and environmental safety.

The prosecution for ecocide and genocide, which is currently being carried out in Ukraine by the political and military elite of the Russian Federation, should be no exception. Despite the fact that the military conflict in Ukraine has actually been going on since 2014, the Russian Federation has not yet paid any reparations. In addition, no decision has been made that would impose an obligation on the aggressor state to pay such reparations in favor of Ukraine.

Currently, the process of paying reparations to Ukraine has been significantly intensified, which is a positive sign for both Ukraine and the entire civilized world. In this regard, the study of historical examples of reparations for ecocide and genocide is also becoming relevant because, in particular, it will help to determine the general vision of the mechanism for making such payments, and at the theoretical level will serve as a basis for the formation of Ukrainian state policy on bringing the aggressor to justice in the form of payment of an appropriate amount of money for the damage caused by military operations.
Notary public as subject of notarial process
Authors: Barankova V.
Published: June 2023

The article is concerned with the study of problematic aspects of the definition of the system and competence of notarial bodies and the characteristics of the features of notarial procedural legal personality of a notary (another notarial body) as a mandatory subject of notarial procedural legal relations. It is emphasized that the system of subjects of notarial procedural legal relations differs from the system of subjects of notarial law, because it is formed within the framework of notarial proceedings regarding the performance of notarial acts.  It is substantiated that notarial procedural legal personality has an independent character and is not a constituent part or manifestation of civil legal personality, but represents the unity of its structural elements: legal capacity and legal capacity. At the same time, the legal personality of different participants in procedural legal relations is not the same, since they have rights and obligations of different scope and nature. A notary (another notary body) is considered as a mandatory subject of notarial procedural legal relations, possessing a specific legal personality and a special legal position.

The article describes the peculiarities of the legal status of a notary public (another notarial body), due to the need for the implementation of jurisdictional functions and the presence of law-enforcement powers, both regarding the determination of the procedural order of notarial acts (for example, involving interested parties, requesting and evaluating evidence, stopping or postponing the execution of a notarial act, etc.) and the issuance of a notarial act, which records the results of their performance.

It is proven that by entrusting notarial bodies with the function of performing notarial acts, the state grants the notary real power (but not management) powers, and because of this, the legal personality of the notary has a peculiar content and is manifested in the competence, the content of which is the authority to perform notarial acts. In addition, in the notarial process, the possible and proper behavior of the notary coincides, since the notary has both the right and the obligation to perform a certain procedural action in the presence of the conditions stipulated by the law.

The need for proper legislative regulation of system changes and the competence of notary bodies as subjects of the notarial process is noted.
Legal regulation of some types of companies in Great Britain
Authors: Hryhorenko O.
Published: June 2023

The article "Legal regulation of some types of companies in Great Britain" is devoted to a retrospective research of commercial law in England, as well as an analysis of some modern types of companies in the United Kingdom. The commercial law background in England has a very deep history. Thus, the author pays attention to the development of trade relations in the British Empire, starting with the peculiarities of the British East India Company, a company so powerful that it once dominated almost the entire Indian subcontinent. Particular emphasis is given to the South Sea Company, essentially one of the first and most successful joint-stock companies of its time with its own characteristics. Against the background of the gradual development of that company, there was a need to adopt the Bubbles Act, which for almost a whole century prohibited the creation of new companies, regulating the activities of joint stock companies.

After analyzing the historical development of commercial law in England, the author analyzed the further development of such relations with the description of modern legislation of Great Britain. Author has payed attention that one of the biggest commercial law acts in the United Kingdom is the Companies Act, 2006, which concentrated the provisions of many previous acts of the XIX-XX centuries, incorporating two main features of company law - a simple registration procedure and limited liability.

Today the main types of companies in Great Britain are governed by the Companies Act 2006, which primarily distinguishes between limited and unlimited companies. In addition, the law also names private and public companies, as well as other types of companies. A separate legislative act, dated 1890, regulates the concept and features of a partnership, a special form of which is the LLP - a limited liability partnership, which is also regulated by a separate regulatory document.

England is the country with the sixth largest economy in the world, it is the first in Europe and the second country in the world after the USA - the largest provider of military aid to Ukraine, a rapidly developing country - and, therefore, its experience, retrospective analysis and research of modern legal institutions - are relevant, timely and useful for research and study.
Peculiarities of judicial review of cases on deprivation of parental rights
Authors: Klapouschak D.
Published: June 2023

The work analyzes the procedural features of consideration of cases of deprivation of parental rights. The general characteristics of the institution of deprivation of parental rights are determined. At the same time, an analysis of the grounds for deprivation of parental rights provided for by the Family Code of Ukraine is carried out. At the same time, the work also indicates which of the grounds is the most common. The need to expand this list at the legal level is substantiated. As for procedural aspects, the work defines the form of judicial proceedings in which the specified disputes are considered. The legal regulation of consideration of cases on deprivation of parental rights is also clarified. It is indicated what points the court should note at the preparatory meeting, and what it should find out during the case consideration. A position has been put forward regarding the mandatory participation of the defendant in the court session, and in case of his non-appearance, the postponement of the case consideration. Mandatory involvement of the guardianship authority as a third party is also analyzed. However, practical shortcomings have been identified when the court does not comply with this norm. Attention is drawn to the need to postpone the consideration of the case in case of non-involvement of the body of guardianship and guardianship. The issue of concluding a settlement agreement in cases of deprivation of parental rights is also important in this work. The point of view is put forward that it is impossible to apply a settlement agreement in cases of family relations arising from property and personal non-property relations. Scientific articles analyze the decision-making process. It is also indicated that the court issues a warning about the inadmissibility of further violations by the parents of their rights in relation to the child. Ways to overcome the shortcomings of the legal regulation of the grounds and procedure for the removal of children from their parents are indicated, among which the improvement of the judicial mechanism for ensuring the protection of the rights of participants in these relationships plays a special role. The importance of appointing various types of examinations and consultations with specialists in the course of consideration of cases of deprivation of parental rights is justified.
The current state of regulatory and legal support for the rights of healthcare professionals in Ukraine
Authors: Lytvyn N. , Matselyukh І. , Artemenko O.
Published: June 2023

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory and legal support for the rights of healthcare professionals in modern conditions. The author establishes that today medical professionals need legal protection, which consists in the introduction of medical malpractice insurance at the expense of the owner of a healthcare facility; establishment of decent remuneration for medical professionals; provision of healthcare facilities with medical devices, medicines, medical equipment, etc. to improve working conditions and effective performance of professional activities by medical professionals; introduction of effective mechanisms of social protection of medical professionals; establishment of interaction with the public authorities and other relevant bodies.

The author concludes that today the priority area of the State's activity is to guarantee the rights of healthcare workers. However, ensuring the rights of healthcare workers remains one of the most problematic issues that needs to be addressed immediately by adopting appropriate decisions.

One of the effective measures should be state and public control over the observance of the rights of healthcare workers. State control should be exercised by the specially authorised central executive body on healthcare and its territorial bodies, as well as other central and local executive bodies, local self-government bodies and their executive committees within their competence in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine. Public control over the observance of the rights of healthcare workers may be exercised by public associations of healthcare workers, associations of healthcare workers and/or members of their families, and other public associations within the limits established by the legislation of Ukraine. An effective mechanism may also be the creation of permanent medical and legal commissions in public associations of healthcare professionals, associations of healthcare professionals and other public associations within the limits established by the legislation of Ukraine for the development and improvement of legislative acts in the medical field.
Value orientations of police officers as a factor in personnel turnover in the National Police of Ukraine
Authors: Roshkanyuk V. , Nagorna O.
Published: June 2023

The article examines the value orientations of police officers as a factor in personnel turnover in the National Police of Ukraine, and also analyzes the conditions under which training of future specialists takes place, analyzes the special scientific literature and legal framework on the subject of research.
The problem of valuable orientations of practitioners in the bodies of the National Police, from the point of view of methodology, needs to be considered in the ethical and philosophical aspect. Thus, philosophy is characterized by the presence of two distinct categories, which distinguish two models that are characterized by two concepts of morality and morality. We can see that starting from the era of antiquity and up to our time, it has been shown to understand how to function in the social sciences, as well as in the humanities.
The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the work deepened the theoretical work on the value orientations of police officers as a factor of personnel turnover in the National Police of Ukraine. Thus, based on the results of the research, the content of the value orientations of police officers was determined, the essence of the specified orientations as personnel turnover in the National Police of Ukraine was investigated.
The article also focuses on the fact that the professional training of future specialists takes place in conditions of intensive changes and transformations in the higher education system. Over the last decade, the requirements for the competence of a specialist in any field have become increasingly high. This issue is especially relevant in the conditions of current state transformations. The level of professional training should increasingly meet not only national, but also international quality standards of higher education. The priority direction of training in educational institutions with specific training conditions is the development of general cultural and professional competencies of a young person, which will contribute to increasing the level of his competitiveness in the labor market both on a national and global scale.
This article also focuses on the fact that values can be considered in the context of different categorical systems, and the specifics of one or another definition of this concept will depend on the field of scientific knowledge in which it is studied.
International legal regulation of social protection of homeless and neglected children in conditions of war
Authors: Simakova S. , Malyshko І.
Published: June 2023

The article examines the current state of state policy in the field of social protection of homeless and neglected children in wartime conditions. The special relevance of this topic is due to the increase in the number of homeless and neglected children due to the full-scale invasion of the russian federation.

Attention is focused on the fact that orphan hood is a social phenomenon that is caused by the existence in society of children whose parents have died, or children who have been left without parental care due to the deprivation of parental rights, being recognized as disabled, missing, etc. Because of the war in Ukraine, thousands of children remain orphans, lose contact with their relatives and find themselves in difficult life circumstances.

The article touches upon the issues of the optimization of public administration methods in the conditions of digitalization. It has been established that the digitalization of public administration leads both to the introduction of new digital methods in public-authority activities and to the qualitative change of already existing and established ones. Among the new digital methods and technologies of public administration, the following are highlighted: the method of big data analysis, which involves the processing of a significant array of large volume and variety of data, which are analyzed with the help of special computer technologies and significantly increase the efficiency of planning and forecasting in public administration; the use of artificial intelligence, chatbots in the process of powerful interaction with private entities for the implementation of the most important public functions and services; use of complex digital solutions.It is noted that the digitalization of public administration methods occurs not only in relation to the external influence of public administration (on private, organizationally separate entities), but also involves updating the methods of intra-organizational activity of public administration entities. The latter requires an updated personnel strategy and the formation of digital competencies among public servants. A conclusion is made regarding the possibility of extrapolation of the “smart working” model to the public service in those areas where it is possible, which uses new technologies to increase the productivity and satisfaction of employees from work, including remote, and digital workplaces.It is stated that the challenges of modernity and technological shifts also change the nature of the established methods of public administration. Tendencies towards their liberalization and flexibility of application have been revealed. The specified changes are characterized by the example of updating the classical methods of public administration: coercion, warning, and encouragement in connection with the digitalization of public administration. It was concluded that digitalization provides an opportunity to make the interaction of public administration quite flexible, due to the possibility of prompt resolution of a wide range of problematic situations and alternative options for the behaviour of participants in legal relations

The article focuses on the issue of recognizing suicide as a social dangerous consequence of persistent failure to perform duties related to the care of a child or a person under guardianship or in the custody (Article 166 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). Court practice of application of Article 166 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine for 2010-2023 (688 verdicts), as well as the legal opinions of the cassation court on the application of a number of legal provisions were studied. Taking into account the doctrine of criminal law and law enforcement practice, recognition not only the victim’s suicide, but also attempted suicide as a as a social dangerous consequence of this crime was proposed. As a result of the analysis of objective and subjective features of the crimes under Articles 120 «Driving a person into suicide» and 166 «Persistent failure to perform duties related to the care of a child or a person under guardianship or in the custody» of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, their differentiation was carried out. It is emphasized that systematic nature, as a mandatory feature of the act in both crimes, does not give grounds to conclude that the crime under Article 166 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine may be expressed in physical and psychological violence, cruel treatment. Options for qualifying the act depending on the perpetrator’s different psychological attitude to the consequences in the form of driving to suicide or attempted suicide were provided. In order to cover cases of intentional inaction of a person, which may consist, in particular, in failure to perform duties related to the care of a child or a person under guardianship or in the custody, it is proposed to replace the phrase “other actions” with “other act” in Part 1 of Article 120 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

This is a system of enterprises, institutions and organizations that perform production and non-production functions to provide the population with the necessary resources and provide services for the proper maintenance of housing, the improvement of settlements and the development of the relevant infrastructure.History shows that the genesis of the housing economy is closely related to the emergence and development of the housing and communal economy itself, the determinants of which development were: the separation of handicrafts from agriculture (as a result, cities began to appear); emergence of private housing ownership; industrialization (factories and factories began to be built, which required significant human resources); war; political system. At each of the periods of the development of society, the authorities tried in a certain way to establish legal regulation of relations in the field of housing and communal services, but it was not immediately successful, tangible results began to be obtained only from about the middle of the 50s of the XX century.History shows that the genesis of the housing economy is closely related to the emergence and development of the housing and communal economy itself, the determinants of which development were: the separation of handicrafts from agriculture (as a result, cities began to appear); emergence of private housing ownership; industrialization (factories and factories began to be built, which required significant human resources); war; political system.
