The End of the Beginning and the Beginning of the End of Attempted Sexual Penetration: Revisiting Silo v S 2016 (2) SACR 259 (WCC)
Authors: Kumwenda Joshua
Published: April 2024

The fine line marking the transition from the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end of a crime, or defining in precise terms what is meant by consummation, has been, and still is, a problem in criminal law. In precise terms, the determination of the specific moment that the consummation can be said to have commenced is fraught with controversy. The textbook illustration is where the wrongdoer has not commenced all that he or she set out to do, either because he or she was deterred from doing so or refrained from doing so. In such a case, the dilemma is how to draw a line between conduct constituting mere acts of preparation and conduct amounting to an actual attempt. In Silo v S 2016 (2) SACR 259 (WCC), the High Court clarified the principles and the law relating to the attempt to commit an act of sexual penetration without the consent of the complainant in violation of section 3 of the Sexual Offences and Related Matters Amendment Act 32 of 2007. This case note critically examines the decision in Silo and its broader implications in the context of severe gender-based violence and a sexual violence pandemic that continues to plague society.
A Critical Appraisal of Corroboration in the Crime of Rape in the Nigerian Legal System
Authors: Gbadamosi Olaide Abass , Nasir Maruf Adeniyi
Published: April 2024

Obtaining justice when a woman is raped continues to generate controversy. Moreover, the corroboration requirement for prosecuting rape and other sexual offences has continued to generate heated debates leading to different approaches by various courts. While cases of rape are on the increase, successful prosecution and conviction are abysmally low. This is probably because the complainant’s evidence requires corroboration by other pieces of evidence implicating the accused in a substantial way for a successful conviction. There have been demands for reform in the substantive and procedural laws that would eradicate the obstacles to proving sexual offences. Reforms that will end the prejudice against women are essential. The belief that it is more dangerous to convict in the absence of corroboration is still held sacrosanct in many jurisdictions, including Nigeria. This article critically appraises the concept of corroboration in the crime of rape and recommends the adoption of best practices existing in other jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, where it is no longer necessary for the judge or jury to be warned before convicting based on the uncorroborated testimony of the victim once there is credible and convincing evidence.
The Constitutional Protection of the Right to Collective Job Action in Zimbabwe: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Maringe Noah
Published: April 2024

The right to participate in collective job action is the most formidable weapon in employees’ arsenal, without which workers’ autonomy and democracy in the workplace would be under persistent onslaught. This article assesses whether Zimbabwe’s constitutional protection of collective job action accords with general trends in comparative jurisdictions such as South Africa, Kenya and Australia. Further, the article establishes that Zimbabwe’s 2013 Constitution is progressive on the right to collective job action. However, it fails to offer adequate constitutional protections and guarantees for the right. There are also several disconnects between the Constitution and the Labour Act. Additionally, Zimbabwe’s legal and institutional framework is lagging behind when compared to other jurisdictions from which lessons can be drawn. The article makes constitutional, legislative, institutional and administrative recommendations with a view to enhancing the protection, enforcement and promotion of the right to collective job action in Zimbabwe.

Published: April 2024

Religion and rationality are two perspectives that have a strong influence. Humans view religious values ​​and rational values ​​as different entities, causing a dichotomy paradigm, especially in the realm of education. However, educational institutions need to integrate religious education materials, especially Islam in providing rational values ​​to junior high school students. This study aims to analyze the application of Islamic religious education material in rational values ​​for junior high school students. The research method used is literature study. The results show that the integration of PAI material into rational science at the philosophical level must already be contained in the vision and mission to become a superior school in the aspects of science, technology, faith, and piety; at the material level, PAI was found for social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, and citizenship; at the level of learning strategies, teachers quote verses from the Qur'an, hadith, and their interpretations on the stage of the rational science learning learning process which has an impact on increasing students' creative, innovative, critical thinking skills, and learning motivation. This integration also broadens the understanding that Islam is a source of knowledge and rational values ​​as described in the Qur'an and hadith educating them to practice and contextualize their knowledge through attitudes and behavior at school, and in everyday life.

KEDUDUKAN HADIST QUDSI SEBAGAI SUMBER HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: SOLIKIN HILAL
Published: April 2024

Hadith is everything that is quoted from the Prophet Muhammad SAW in the form of words, deeds and taqrir or other than that. Hadith is a source of Islamic Shari'a law because of its position as God's revelation conveyed by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. As one form of hadith, hadith Qudsi is a hadith that in a sentence has a noble
 
position because it relies directly on Allah SWT. This reliance is what makes this hadith Qudsi or Divine or Rabbani, which means that everything returns to Allah SWT. The transmission of this hadith is done through direct revelation or through inspiration and dreams. This is what distinguishes the Hadith Qudsi from the Qur'an which is absolutely conveyed through revelation. The position of the Qudsi hadith as a source of Islamic law remains like the other hadiths, namely the second source of law after the Qur'an as the first source of law. It is not because of its qudsi wording that it aligns with the Qur'an, but the Qudsi hadith still has the same position as the other hadiths, namely bayan lil al-Qur'an, which explains the verses of the Qur'an both explicitly and implicitly so that the legal content stored in it can be conveyed clearly.

The Russian Orthodox Church in the system of socio-political interaction during the Great Patriotic War (using the example of the Penza region)
Authors: Sukhova Olga Alexandrovna , Inozemtsev Ivan Nikolaevich , Kolpakova Olga Vasilyevna
Published: April 2024

The transformation of the practices of state-confessional interaction during the Great Patriotic War is considered on an analysis of the office documentation of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church under the Council of People’s Commissars of the USSR. The research methodology is based on the concept of social constructionism or the theory of constructing social reality, as well as new local history, which allows to study the factors and mechanisms of adaptation of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) to the new geopolitical situation and the tasks of socio-political integration on the scale of a specific region – the Penza region. The content and regional specifics of the activities of the Commissioner for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church are revealed. The key areas of activity are: consideration of petitions of believers to open churches and participation of the priesthood in mobilization activities of the authorities. Despite many years of atheistic policies, persecution and repression of the clergy, the population of the Penza region demonstrated the strength of the religious foundation of regional identity. This was more significant compared with ideological constructs imposed from the outside. During the Great Patriotic War, relations between believers and authorities were built in the direction from the suppression of religious life to the very effective inclusion of parish communities in solving national problems. Appeals from believers to open churches became increasingly widespread and persistent. Under the influence of growing religiosity and divinely sanctioned changes in the legal status of the Russian Orthodox Church, local authorities adopted new rules of the game. Governance practices are also gradually changing, and a constructive dialogue is being built in the triad: the commissioner as a representative of the state – the diocesan administration – the parish communities.

Authors: Markova Elizaveta Vladimirovna
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the historical influence of European libraries on the spiritual life of society, in particular, by the example of the phenomenon of witch hunting. In accordance with the basic principles of historical science, based on the analysis of a number of historical sources and modern research, the question of the influence of libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts in Europe is being clarified. Research methods include both general scientific and specific historical methods. A comparative historical and descriptive approach is applied to the cited historical sources. The influence of libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunting in Europe is shown based on a review of historical sources about libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunting in Europe. Based on a review of historical sources about libraries dedicated to the phenomenon of witch hunting in Europe, the first attempt has been made to study the direct impact of libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunting in Europe. In this study, comparative historical and descriptive approaches of the above historical sources were used. Using these methods of processing archival documents, information on the influence of European libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts is revealed on the basis of available sources. A review of some historical sources is proposed in order to clarify the influence of European libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts in the context of certain chronological frameworks and socio-political conditions. The object of the study is the literature and libraries of Europe in transition. A problem-chronological method was used to study the influence of libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts. The basis of the research consists of the main principles of historical science. Historicism and scientific research make it possible to assume the main influence of European libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts according to the chronology of events against the background of the specified historical period of time. At the same time, the array of historical materials found and currently published is strictly taken into account. General scientific and special historical methods constitute the methodology of the presented research.

Published: April 2024

Cognitive disorders of children are one of the most important problems worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, 15% of children have gross intellectual disabilities. Published data show that cognitive impairment concerns at least 20% of children and adolescents. To a large extent, this applies to children left without parental care and children with sensory disorders. In the social sphere of many countries, the problem is solved with the help of social centers (SC), special educational institutions, foster families, etc. The nature of the development of such children attracts the attention of teachers, doctors, psychologists, however, there is not enough data in the literature about the features of their psychophysiological functions. The subject of the study: psychosocial development of schoolchildren aged 7-10. New data have been obtained on a similar, and sometimes more unfavorable effect on the psychophysical status of subjects with social deprivation, compared with sensory (visual). All the subjects showed signs of functional tension, but the indicators of personal anxiety and aggressiveness in the groups of social and visual deprivation were higher than in the control group, and cognitive functions were insufficiently activated. Children from the SC revealed a high potential of cognitive abilities. When creating adequate psychosocial conditions in the educational environment of these children, their mental development can be significantly accelerated, which is also necessary for the prevention of maladaptive behavior. It is recommended to introduce into the educational process programs of psychophysical correction of students, including technologies of self-regulation of emotions and behavior and reducing the level of functional tension.

Published: April 2024

From the very beginning of the pandemic period on the incidence of Covid-2019, numerous sources have recorded an increase in the number of suicides among adolescents, this number has not fallen to this day. The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at investigating the correlation structure of social and personal identity in adolescents with a history of suicidal attempts and adolescents without suicidal attempts. At the time of the study, all adolescents who attempted suicide were undergoing treatment at the Republican Clinical Psychotherapy Center and the Republican Clinical Psychiatric Hospital of the Republic of Belarus (42 people). A group of adolescents without suicidal intentions consisted of 84 students of the MAOU "Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 93" of Ufa, RB. The study describes differences in the correlation structures of social and personal identity in two selected groups of adolescents. According to the results of the correlation analysis, both in the group of adolescents without suicidal intentions and in the group of adolescents with suicidal behavior, correlations were found between the indicators of social identity: "pastime", "collective self-esteem", "cohesion", "intergroup competition" and "top-down comparison". In the group of adolescents with a history of suicide, no links were found between any indicators of social identity and personal identity, while in the second group there is a link between indicators of social and personal identity.
Classification of Models in Pedagogy
Authors: Sapronov Vitalii Aleksandrovich
Published: April 2024

The paper reflects the results of activities related to the development of models of fragments of reality: their purpose, features and classification, in relation to the study of processes in pedagogy. The analysis of scientific research is carried out, revealing the basics of mental formation, construction and implementation in practice of the model–representation of the original, answering the questions “what should the model be and what properties should it have?”, “what information to carry and in what form to display?”, “how to characterize the developed model without revealing its content and features? The article includes examples of classification of models distinguished by the authors according to specific characteristics: the principle of conformity to the properties of the object and the degree of materialization, the sequence and periodization of their construction, the similarity of the model with the original, the direction of the main information flows circulating between the subject and the world around him. In order to organize knowledge and indicate the subjective position of the author, the principles of model construction, the requirements for their content and their inherent individual properties, taken as a basis in the work, are given. A variant of classification of models according to characteristics is proposed: relation to the original in the process of activity, method of implementation, form of representation and reflection of the state of the simulated object. The typology is based on the principle of a universal decimal classifier with the possibility of making changes and additions to the structure and content. The models mentioned in the works are included in a separate list, but due to functional similarity with other models (or rather a clear lack of originality), the presence of controversial issues in the issues of application in pedagogy, were not reflected in the proposed classifier.

Published: April 2024

This article is devoted to the study of modern possibilities to increase the efficiency of moral and ethical upbringing of students in higher educational institutions. One of such possibilities is motivating them to use new digital technologies in a correct and an ecological way. Proper upbringing of students at higher education institutions and involving them in extracurricular activities contributes to their ethical and moral education and creative development, which helps to achieve the global goals of sustainable development of society (i.e. improving human living conditions and minimizing the negative impact on the environment). In this regard, the authors consider that it is necessary for teachers of higher education institutions to study in more detail the possibilities of new digital and educational technologies precisely considering the principles of environmental friendliness and ethical standards of communication. The authors conduct a complex analysis, including the following methods: theoretical analysis of scientific literature, an anonymous survey of 194 junior full-time students and 48 lecturers and monitoring of the application of digital technologies in different events, held in the Volgograd Institute of Management. The analysis of modern scientific literature on pedagogy and pedagogical psychology, as well as the results of the survey, allowed the authors to draw the following conclusions. The use of new digital technologies and tools, such as smartphones and their apps, videoconferencing services, video recording and presentation development programmes, undoubtedly helps to make the educational and upbringing process easier. All these technical means make the process of creation accessible, attractive, exciting, and involve more students in extracurricular activities. The exact ways of developing efficient and safe online communication during the extracurricular activities are still not yet sufficiently discussed by the methodologists and educators, that’s why this research is to be further continued within another higher educational institutions.

Authors: Gur'yanchik Vitalii Nikolaevich , Kosmalev Nikolai Sergeevich
Published: April 2024

The subject of the study is the study of the influence of various problems and factors on the development of inclusive education in a multicultural environment. The authors pay special attention in the article to the characteristics of the main theoretical approaches to the study of a multicultural and inclusive educational environment, as well as to the assessment of the real state of inclusion in a multicultural environment according to the pedagogical community. Research hypothesis: considering personality as an integral systemic quality that is formed in life, according to the mechanism of appropriation of social experience in the process of activity in the environment, we assumed that the effectiveness of inclusive education in a multicultural environment is influenced by a number of internal and external factors: the formation of speech communication and knowledge of cultural, religious and national characteristics of each other among subjects, the level of development of their tolerance and the organization of the educational environment itself. The main conclusions of the study are: theoretical and methodological analysis confirms that the development of a multicultural educational environment is a necessary condition due to increased migration flows of the population; a pedagogical analysis of the current state of the system of organizing pedagogical activities with students from migrant families in the Yaroslavl region has revealed a number of objective shortcomings and existing difficulties, while there are positive and promising experiences of individual educational organizations that need to be supported and broadcast in the municipal and regional education system; an inclusive multicultural educational environment is at a fairly low level of development, problems prevail related to the complexity of communication, knowledge of cultural, religious and national characteristics, as well as an insufficiently organized and effective system of psychological and pedagogical support.
Formation of German oral speech skills among students of language universities based on corpus technologies
Authors: Mukhamadiarova Albina Fanilevna
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the use of corpus technologies in the formation of German oral speech skills. The subject of the study is the process of teaching speaking at a language university. The object of the study is corpus technologies used in the formation of oral speech skills among students of a language university. The article analyzes the grammatical and phonetic phenomena of oral colloquial speech, which can be introduced in German language teaching. Special attention is paid to such phonetic features of oral speech as reduction, elision, and clitic forms of definite and indefinite articles. The scientific study examines in detail such aspects as the fusion of preposition and definite article, modal particles, direct word order in sentences with WEIL, OBWOHL and unconnected sentences with WENN. The FOLK corpus included in the Gesprochenes Deutsch (DGD) database of the "Leibniz German Language Institute" was used as a corpus toolkit for compiling a set of exercises. The main attention in the article is paid to a complex of different types of tasks created on the basis of corpus tools, which determines the scientific novelty of this approach, namely: the use of a quantitative parameter (normalization coefficient indicating deviations from standard pronunciation based on written language) and parameters indicating phenomena characteristic of oral speech (discursive markers, hesitation phenomena). As a result of the research, the author emphasizes the linguistic and methodological potential of text corpora for the development of students' oral conversational skills. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of using its results in the teaching of the following disciplines: a practical course in the German language, features of spoken German, methods of teaching foreign languages, digital technologies in teaching foreign languages.

Two-dimensional (2D) borophene has attracted widespread research interest in condensed matter physics and materials science because of its rich physical and chemical properties. However, the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of borophene under different loadings are still unclear and not thoroughly investigated. In this work, the tensile, shear, and nanoindentation failure processes of borophene are simulated via molecular dynamics method to obtain the key mechanical parameters of borophene. The mechanical response and deformation mechanism of borophene under different loads are analyzed from the change of B—B bond length with the strain/indentation depth. The results show that the tensile mechanical properties of borophene exhibit significant anisotropic characteristics, with the Young’s modulus and strength along the armchair direction being much higher than those along the zigzag direction. However, the anisotropy of the shear mechanical properties of borophene is not significant. This phenomenon can be attributed to the different contributions of the strong B—B σ bonds and weak multi-center bonds in borophene when they are stretched in different directions. It is also found that borophene exhibits different mechanical responses under spherical indentation and cylindrical indentation. The force at failure of the borophene under spherical indentation is much lower than the value under cylindrical one, and the intrinsic mechanical parameters of borophene under spherical indentation cannot be estimated accurately because of the anisotropic characteristics of borophene. However, under cylindrical indentation, borophene exhibits similar anisotropic characteristics to those under tension, and the mechanical parameters such as Young’s modulus can be measured accurately, which are consistent with those obtained under tension. In addition, the effects of the borophene indentation model and spherical/cylindrical indenter size, the loading rate and temperature on the mechanical parameters of borophene are also studied systematically. The results indicate that the Young’s modulus of borophene from spherical indentation is highly estimated when a/R < 15 but not sensitive when a/R > 15, while the results from cylindrical indentation are hardly affected by the values of L/R and W/L. The Young’s modulus of borophene slightly decreases with temperature increasing, while the loading rate has almost no influence on the value of Young’s modulus of borophene. These findings are expected to provide important guidelines for realizing the practical applications of borophene based micro/nano electromechanical systems.

In doing so, I will focus on The stitch project (2012–). This project involves public interaction through acts of tactile textile making such as stitching on a tablecloth. I have based this study within a context of understanding matter and the embodiment of participation from feminist (Ahmed, 2006; Butler, 1988) and new materialist (Barad, 2003; Coole & Frost, 2010; Garber, 2019) perspectives. I am interested in the interactive aspects of The stitch project and how these aspects relate to the concepts of diapraxis (Nunes, 2019) and al masha (Hilal & Petti, 2018). In regard to these terms, I aim to examine the potentials and challenges of participatory textile art projects, like The stitch project, by examining their social and material aspects as well as the complexities of inclusion and participation.

Between 2017 and 2019, I created three temporary artistic interventions in public spaces in which passers-by could discover, interact with or ignore different materials related to libraries as social, public systems. During my work with the first, Expired Outdoors (2017), serendipity emerged as a principle I became interested in exploring further. In two consecutive installations, serendipity gradually manifested itself both as an interface between my installations and their audience and as a creative strategy guiding my choices of contexts and materials. Upon invitation from editor Olga Schmedling, in this article I discuss aspects of serendipity in the three projects, proposing to understand serendipity as instances of interruption rather than as accidental discovery.
How do you know?

How meaning is created, circulated, and manipulated in the post-truth era is not self-evident. How are we to distinguish between the distribution and power of constructed information and knowledge production? These were questions at the core of the discursive project on epistemology entitled How do you know? at KHiO Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 2017/2018. How do you know? was initiated by professor Apolonija Šušteršič, a Slovenian architect and visual artist whose work is related to critical analysis of public space, and Maria Lind, a Swedish curator, art writer, and educator. In this project, they focused on current ways of thinking and how these generate significance across fields such as art, philosophy, science, and education. In the following conversation, Šušteršič and Lind use their experience from How do you know? to look back on how they have worked together on several occasions since 1997. The conversation is conducted in response to a list of topics proposed by Olga Schmedling, editor of the current issue of Researching public art and public space, part 2.
Researching public art and public space, part 2
Authors: Schmedling Olga
Published: April 2024

This special issue is devoted to research on the changing paradigms of public art, and of public spaces. Today all art can be characterized as public since it is mediated via relational networks. The shift of paradigm from modernist art to contemporary art coincides with this shift of paradigm – from consumption to communication – in the sense that advanced art practices had already absorbed the change from individual mediation to relational networks. In the communication network of relations, artists and works are constitutive elements. Without the works and the artists, the relational network does not exist, and vice versa: Without the network of relations, neither artists nor works are made visible. This constitutive reciprocity of relations is decisive both for theorists doing research on public art and art in public spaces, as well as for artists who are doing research in public spaces.
Metabolomic analysis of biological material using LC-MS in the quest for urinary system cancer biomarkers – review

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and bladder cancer (BC) are among the most frequently diagnosed urinary system cancers worldwide. They are characterized by high mortality and recurrence rates. In response to the rising incidence and mortality rates, scientists are exploring innovative diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Metabolomics, which analyzes metabolite levels, may enable early diagnosis and monitoring of therapy progress. Compared to other omics technologies, it focuses on the outcomes of metabolite activity, providing a unique perspective on processes occurring in cancer cells. Metabolomic analyses utilize techniques such as mass spectrometry. These methods allow the identification of biomarkers and precise determination of the chemical composition of biological samples. However, the most commonly used method is liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), which enables the most comprehensive screening of cancer metabolomes. Recent studies show significant progress in recognizing characteristic metabolites associated with urological cancers, although this area remains partially unexplored. Research on circulating metabolites, especially those present in easily accessible samples like blood or urine, demonstrates promising potential in clinical practice. Study results reveal differences in metabolic profiles between various stages of cancer development, which may have clinical significance. The future of this field involves an increasing number of clinical cohorts, standardization of sample preparation, and further improvements in instrument sensitivity and speed. LC-MS-based metabolomics has the potential to contribute to the improvement of diagnostics, therapy, and the quality of life of patients with some urological cancers. However, challenges, such as the lack of uniform methodologies and understanding of metabolite determinants, require further research and innovation.
