Humor gráfico y negacionismo científico: un estudio comparado de las viñetas sobre el cambio climático y la COVID-19 en los Estados Unidos de América
Authors: Moreno-Tarín Sara , Pina Desfilis Tatiana , Domínguez Romero Martí
Published: September 2022

La humanidad atraviesa una crisis sin precedentes derivada del cambio climático (CC) y recientemente se ha visto sumida en otra más inminente relacionada con la COVID-19. En este estudio se realiza un análisis multimodal del contenido de 1110 viñetas centradas en el CC y la COVID-19 de los principales viñetistas conservadores estadounidenses. Los resultados de este estudio revelan que si bien los viñetistas esgrimen argumentos científicamente refutados para negar que se está produciendo una variación en algunos de los indicadores climáticos globales, muestran un escepticismo sutil y menos frecuente cuando representan la temática de la COVID-19. En ambos casos,  este escepticismo está enfocado a retroalimentar un clima de desconfianza y crispación general que parece apoyarse en los movimientos negacionistas de la ciencia.

La hemerología mántica del Grupo Borgia
Authors: Van Doesburg Sebastián , Oudijk Michel R.
Published: September 2022

El Grupo Borgia es un conjunto de cinco libros pictográficos de la época prehispánica procedente del centro-sur de Mesoamérica. Su contenido trata, en su mayor parte, de la hemerología mántica: el arte de interpretar los valores propicios o aciagos de los días. Aunque este carácter adivinatorio es generalmente reconocido, hay poca investigación sobre el uso y la función social de estos libros y su relación con la mántica y su psicología en general. Esto ha propiciado, desde inicios del siglo XX, corrientes que quieren ver en su contenido representaciones de eventos astronómicos o mitológicos. En el presente texto resumimos el origen y los fallos de estas corrientes, y abogamos por el estudio contextual de los documentos, acudiendo a fuentes de distintas épocas, incluyendo las continuidades actuales, que nos hablan sobre su uso. Como ejemplos, se analizan las páginas 75-76 y 27 del Códice Borgia.
IRREGULAR MIGRATION, CROSS BORDER CRIME AND THE SECURITIZATION THEORY: A SOUTH AFRICAN REFLECTION
Authors: Mlambo Victor H
Published: September 2022

This paper attempted to examine the narratives and debates around Undocumented migration, cross border crime and the securitization and militarization of South Africa’s borders. Adopting a systematic review of literature, this paper attempted to add to the growing literature around this highly politicized issue. This paper revealed that Undocumented migration and cross border crime are not serious issues that pose a threat to the country's socio-economic development let alone its national security. The drive to securitize these issues has been driven by politicians who seek voters and who use migrants as political scapegoats. This paper contends that rather than investing millions on border securitization and militarization, such monies will be well spent on health, education, social welfare and infrastructure development. Finally, this paper argues that unilateral approaches to border security are bound to fail because the factors driving Undocumented migration and cross border crime are multifaceted and beyond South Africa's control. Hence regional cooperation becomes key. Securitization and militarization approaches don’t stop migration and border crime, rather migrants and crime syndicates always find ways to go around such approaches.

DEMOCRACY UNDER THREAT: THE POLITICS OF CORRUPTION AND PARTY FINANCING SYSTEM IN INDONESIA
Authors: Tambunan Derwin
Published: September 2022

After Soeharto's authoritarian regime had ended in 1998, Indonesia has successfully been transformed into one of the world's largest democratic nations. However, Indonesia still faces enormous challenges to eradicating corruption; corruption is still ubiquitous and entrenched in governments and political parties. This study argues that the primary reasons for this apparent paradox are the politics of corruption and the dysfunction of the party finance system underpinning the illicit campaign financing system. This research also claims that the deficiency of the party finance system is not accidental; it is intentionally designed and perpetuated by the elites who prefer the illicit finance system since this system allows them to penetrate the state's assets, creating privileged business opportunities and reserving political advantages. The elites minority overpower political parties and establish politics-business networks to perpetuate their status quo and dominance in politics and economy. The dysfunction of the party financing system has also caused parties to remarkably relied on financial support from conglomerates; this situation engenders politics and 'black' business empires networks and oligarchisation. Further, business and political parties maintain their access to the state's resources by becoming part of electoral democracy, assuming political office or lobbying societal organisations, and taking control over economic actions and election campaigns that undermine Indonesia's democracy system. To substantiate the arguments in this study, the researcher uses the literature study and secondary data sources to support the arguments

Authors: Prakasa Maulana Wahyu , Wibowo Prihandono
Published: September 2022

The outbreak of civil war in Syria since 2011 has resulted in 3.8 million Syrian refugees having to move to neighboring countries. Turkey is one of them, with the total number of refugees as of December 2020 reaching 3.6 million refugees who fled to Turkey. This led to the emergence of a refugee crisis in Turkey which caused various problems at home. One of the problems with the refugee crisis is that it causes high unemployment in Turkey and is one of the factors inhibiting the economy. As a form of securitization of the refugee crisis by the Turkish state, it has been responded to in various ways and one of them is the Operation Peace Spring’s foreign policy launched in 2019. This policy is in the form of military operations to occupy territories by Turkey in the northern part of Syria, with the aim of providing a "safe zone" for Syrian refugees to return to their homeland. Through the concept of securitization, the writer finds that as a sovereign country, Turkey must provide security to its citizens from threats, especially from abroad. This type of research used in this research is to use a qualitative descriptive method. This method is used to obtain a more detailed explanation regarding developing issues. With this process, it will be explained comprehensively and also pay attention to the structure of how the securitization carried out by Turkey in Operation Peace Spring's foreign policy can provide security for the threats it receives.

Published: September 2022

Post-Brexit, Britain completely overhauled its foreign policy framework by adopting a 'Global Britain' strategy with the aim of demonstrating global leadership. The UK said that there had been geopolitical and geoeconomics shifts, including the rise of China's power and the increasing importance of the Indo-Pacific for global prosperity and security as well as the potential for new markets to emerge and the growth of the global middle class. In realizing the UK's existence in the world, especially in the Indo-Pacific region, the UK considers the strategic position of the Southeast Asia region which is included as part of the four pillars of British foreign policy. Southeast Asia has become an arena for the struggle for the influence of global powers, especially China and the United States. Changes in British Foreign Policy which focuses on the Southeast Asia region will certainly have strategic consequences in the region, especially regional security, especially the South China Sea Dispute which involves most of the ASEAN member countries. The problem raised in this study is how the dynamics of security in the Southeast Asia region after the change in the focus of British foreign policy to Southeast Asia and its impact on regional security.

THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL’S 2017 REPORT ON FINANCIALIZATION OF HOUSING
Authors: Ninepence Albert Mcbell
Published: September 2022

Financialization of  housing  has  attracted  plenitude of  divergent reviews and discussions  on the subject matter.  The  term  financialization of  housing   has been associated with  reduced  housing affordability in recent  debates.  Irrespective of  financialization of  housing   cementing a springboard to  augment  growth  of the  financial and housing markets,  enhanced employments and  deepened international trade and relations, it has also created its own setbacks. The financialization of housing   has  been reviewed to trigger excessive demerits  of capital gains exceptions, rent seeking  and disregard to upholding  and  defense of human rights tenets, provisions and conventions.  In support of these demerits, the   United  Nations Human Rights Council’s 2017 report on the financialization of housing underscore financialization of  housing  creating  an overall negative impact. The UN reports posits that the finacialization of  housing  is now a means to secure and accumulate  wealth. Housing  is now dehumanized  and sold as a commodity on global markets and hence has lost its currency as a  universal human right.  The copious reviews and contention on the financialization of housing  warrants   further inquiry into the compendious  scholarship. This paper therefore examined and  argued in favour of the  UN standpoints though making counter  perspectives on the discourse of financialization of housing.

This research aims to analyze the potential use of nuclear weapons in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2022. Based on a literature study, google trend analysis, and media review approach, there are four findings from this study. First, the goal of Ukraine joining NATO is to increase military strength and to obtain support as well as security guarantees from alliance countries is considered. As a result, Russia responded by increasing its military capability to invade Ukraine to maintain its national security. This situation represents  the concept of the security dilemma. Second, the threat of the use of nuclear weapons by Russia as a deterrence strategy against NATO intervention. This intentions have yielded little results, because NATO continues to provide military support to Ukraine. Third, NATO’s weapons assistance to Ukraine has disrupted the balance of power in the international system. The increase in Russian military weapons and nuclear threats as the implementation of the power struggle aims to prevent the NATO alliance from becoming stronger which threatens Russia's national interests. Finally, the media trend analysis indicates that the potential use of nuclear weapons for war is still relatively small and become weaken.

Dolandırıcılık suçunda hile, suçun çekirdeğini oluşturmaktadır. Türk öğretisindeki çoğunluk ve mahkemeler, her türlü hileli davranışın değil, sadece belli özelliklere sahip hileli davranışların ceza hukuku himayesine alınması taraftarıdır. Başka bir ifade ile dolandırıcılık suçunun oluşumunda fail tarafından gerçekleştirilen hileli davranışın belli bir ağırlığa ulaşması gerekmektedir. Ancak dolandırıcılık suçunun unsuru olan hilenin belli bir ağırlığa veya yoğunluğa ulaşmasını aramak, dolandırıcılık suçu yönünden TCK’nın öngörmediği yeni bir unsuru uygulamayla eklenmesi anlamına gelecektir. Soyut da olsa yalan aldatmış ise hiledir, ayrıca aldatmaya elverişli olup olmadığına ve belli bir ağırlığa ulaşıp ulaşmadığına ilişkin bir değerlendirme yapılmaması gerekir.

The phenomenon of the criminal's return to the crime scene: psychological analysis (based on F.M. Dostoevsky’s novel "Crime and Punishment")
Authors: Zaporozhtseva G. E.
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The reasons for the return of the criminal to the scene of the crime are analyzed using the plot of F.M. Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment", based on the theories of Freudianism and reflexology. The episode in that Rodion Raskolnikov returns to the crime scene became the reason for the author's long years of reflection on the criminal’s behavior mechanisms.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a psychological analysis of Raskolnikov's behavior when he returns to the crime scene through the theories of Z. Freud and A.V. Dulov.

The methodology. The author uses reflexology theories of I.P. Pavlov, V.M. Bekhterev, I.M. Sechenov, A.A. Ukhtomsky, the theory of person’s relations of V.N. Myasishchev, the theory of A.V. Dulov, the theory of Z. Freud, principles of systemacity, unity of consciousness and activity, causality, pleasure-displeasure, content analysis of Dostoevsky’s novel. The author uses empirical observations based from his own practical work in law enforcement.

The main results, scope of application. An analysis of the determinants of the return to the crime scene of the main character of the novel "Crime and Punishment" through the psychoanalysis and reflexology was being undertaken for the first time. Based on the theory of A.V. Dulov about the impact of criminal activity on the increase in the mental stress of the criminal and guided by the theory of Z. Freud on the principle of pleasure-displeasure the author demonstrates on the example of Raskolnikov’s behavior that one of the reasons for the return of the criminal to the crime scene is the need to relieve mental stress determined by the consequences of the crime and getting pleasure from the discharge of an overstrained nervous system. This research is important both for theory and for law enforcement practice. The psychological analysis of criminal behavior outlined in the article will allow employees whose profession is related to solving crimes to look into criminal’s inner world, to predict the consequences of the crime that can be expressed in return of the criminal to the crime scene.

Conclusions. The analysis of Rodion Raskolnikov's criminal behavior shows the psychological and criminological nature of the Dostoevsky’s novel. It can be argued that in the active activity of the criminal, after the commission of a crime, there is both a conscious and unconscious search for a mental discharge of an overstressed nervous system.
Agricultural lands: a civilistic view of the social obligation to preserve them
Authors: Schennikova L. V.
Published: September 2022

The subject. Study focuses on the problem of conservation and efficient use of agricultural land. It is important for any state, but it is especially relevant for Russia, given the size of the country’s territory and the large proportion of arable land. Statistics shows a tendency to reduce the total area of arable land. This trend is especially alarming for the Krasnodar Region, the granary of Russia. In this regard, the scientific analysis of judicial and arbitration practice in cases related to the use of agricultural land is relevant. It is important to see the trends emerging in law enforcement and assess their importance for solving the overall task of preserving agricultural land.

The purpose of the study is to identify a scientific civil basis for improving both legislation and law enforcement practice. The author puts forward a scientific hypothesis that a new stage of civil legal regulation should offer both the legislator and the judicial authorities a new idea that can be productively used, among other things, to solve the problem of conservation and efficient use of agricultural land.

The methodology. The following methods were used in the research: general scientific dialectical, universal scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison, abstraction, formal logical, system-structural), special legal methods (comparative legal, method of system interpretation, method of legal modeling.

The main results, scope of application. The author describes the prospects of using a socially oriented model of civil law regulation. Such a functional approach brings to the fore a social obligation, the presence of which should be assumed in the content of each subjective civil right. The argumentation of social responsibility as an element of subjective law acquires special significance in relation to civil rights to land plots. In their implementation the perspective value is not the autonomy of the will and the power of the owner, but the preservation of the value of the land, including its fertile qualities, as well as the development of social relations in which the lands of this category participate. The theoretical idea of the social orientation of civil law regulation is of great importance for the emerging law enforcement practice, since it sets before the courts the task of considering social interests, including, of course, the general interest in preserving agricultural lands, including especially valuable and productive lands.

Conclusions. A theoretical basis (scientific idea) is proposed for improving civil legislation and law enforcement practice, which can be fruitfully used for the conservation and effective use of agricultural land.
Volost administration in the Statute on Siberian provincial administration of 1822 (To the 250th birth anniversary of Michael Speransky)
Authors: Konovalov I. A.
Published: September 2022

The subject. Many shortcomings in the current state of local government and self-government systems are that in the process of forming the institutions of Russian public power, there were not evolutionary qualitative changes, but, on the contrary, there were processes of quantitative complication of mechanisms and institutions for the exercise of public power, making the role of the people in administrative processes impossible or insignificant.

The experience of pre-revolutionary Siberian local self-government is a proven resource in historical practice for improving the organization of local government, as well as the mechanism of public administration, which was prepared on local, Siberian soil, and was not copied from the socio-political systems of foreign countries.

The purpose of the article is to identify principles and features of the peasant self-government in Siberia laid down by the reform of the outstanding Russian statesman Michael Speransky.

The theoretical and methodological basis of the research are the categories and principles of materialistic dialectics, formal-logical, systemic, comparative-legal and formal-legal methods.

The main results. The conditions of life and traditions of self-governing peasant communities in Siberia made it possible for a very long period, up to the revolutionary upheavals of 1917, to find a solution that freed the crown government from the costs of the lower level of local government and its performance of the functions of administration and court in the Siberian village.

Conclusions. Peasant self-government was endowed with state powers and included in the mechanism of state power according to the reform of Michael Speransky.
The policy of granting scientific grants in Russia and its prospects
Authors: Bobrova N. A.
Published: September 2022

Modern criteria for assessing scientific activity, established in 2013, are considered. The shortcomings of these criteria, which the author of this article, together with another professor, tried to recognize as invalid and not subject to application due to their contradiction with Russian legislation and national interests, are emphasized. The requirements for applicants for grants of the Russian Science Foundation are considered (RSF), which, after merging with the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), became the only federal scientific foundation. The first results of the merger of the two funds are analyzed. It is shown that this had a negative impact on the humanities, including legal sciences. The Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated March 19, 2022 No. 414 "On some issues of applying the requirements and target values of indicators related to publication activity" is analyzed. The resolution was adopted in response to the sanctions of unfriendly states, as well as a reaction to open letters from the public about the immediate exclusion from all regulations of the requirement to publish in journals from commercial indices. The resolution has the character of a moratorium on the application of requirements for the availability of publications in scientific journals indexed in international databases. Proposals are being made on the development of domestic criteria for publication activity.
Investment tax benefits in China: special features of legal regulation and comparative analysis with Russian practices
Authors: Ponomareva K. A.
Published: September 2022

The subject. The article discusses the legal regulation of investment tax incentives in China. The choice of the object of research is determined by the prospects of comparative legal studies of the experience of states bordering the territories of the Russian Far East, where numerous zones with special economic status have been created, within which preferential business regimes are applied.

Purpose of the study. Despite the diversity of special economic zones in the Russian Federation and the constant creation of new zones, preferential regimes do not always prove their effectiveness. Based on the above, it seems very relevant to analyze the best international and national practices in order to develop criteria for the effectiveness and efficiency of preferential tax regimes for zones with special economic status.

Thus, the specifics of the comparative legal method of research always consists in the fact that it is not necessary to borrow foreign experience, but it is also possible to find the best practices within domestic legislation. Therefore, it is necessary to look for ways to ensure that Russian tax legislation laying the foundation for supporting innovation in our country.

Methodology. The research was carried out with the application of the formally legal interpretation of legal acts as well as the comparative analysis of international and Chinese legal literature. Structural and systemic methods are also the basis of the research.

The main results. As China seeks to transform from a mass producer of inexpensive goods to a high-end producer, the national government is making significant efforts to encourage targeted investment in research and development (R&D) and technological innovations. This has led to the fact that China has awarded the technology sector the title of strategic, and its state support has increased significantly.

Сonclusions. On the base of the analysis of the main tax incentives in China, the author comes to the conclusion that a significant part of them is aimed at enterprises engaged in research and development, as well as technological innovations. Also, a significant part of tax benefits is provided to enterprises based on the choice of the geographical area of the company's establishment. The conclusion is made about the possibility of applying the Chinese experience in Russia in reforming preferential tax regimes.

The support for companies in the technology sector in Russia is especially important due to the policy of recent years aimed at establishment of tax benefits for IT companies. Both Russia and China strive to promote the accelerated development of innovative industries, the implementation of priority investment projects, as well as the development of small business.

Effects of hybrid non-linear feature extraction method on different data sampling techniques for liver disease prediction
Authors: Yasmin Rubia , Amin Ruhul , Reza Md. Shamim
Published: September 2022

Liver disease indicates inflammatory condition of the liver, liver cirrhosis, cancer, or an overload of toxic substances. A liver transplant may reinstate and extend life if a patient has severe liver disease. In the last few years, machine learning (ML) based diagnosis systems have played a vital role in assessing liver patients which eventually leads to proper treatment and saves human life. In this study, we try to predict liver patients by adopting a hybrid feature extraction method to enhance the performance of the ML algorithm. Medical data frequently exhibits non-linear patterns and class imbalances. This is undesirable for the majority of ML algorithms and degrades performance. Here, we present a hybrid feature space that combines t-SNE, Isomap nonlinear features, and kernel principal components that can explain 90% of the variation in the data as a solution to this issue. Before feeding the ML model, data preprocessing techniques including class balancing, identifying outliers, and impute missing values are used. A simulation study and ensemble learning also conducted to justify the proposed prediction performances. Our suggested hybrid non-linear feature exhibits a 2-20 % improvement over existing studies and the ensemble classifier achieved an ideal and outstanding accuracy of 91.33 %.

In this paper, various classical time series forecasting methods were compared to determine the forecasting method with the highest accuracy in predicting demand of the 50cl product of a bottled water supply chain. The classical time series forecasting methods compared are the moving average, weighted moving average, exponential smoothing, adjusted exponential smoothing, linear trend line, Holt’s model, and Winter’s model. These methods were evaluated to determine the method with the least Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) value and hence the highest forecasting accuracy. From the results, the weighted moving average forecasting method had the lowest MAD value of 1,987, making it the forecasting method with the highest accuracy for predicting the 50cl bottled water demand. While the exponential smoothing forecasting method had the highest MAD value of 2,483, making it the forecasting method with the least accuracy for predicting the 50cl bottled water demand. This research provides a procedure for aiding supply chain analysts in implementing demand forecasting using classical time series forecasting models.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalence cancer that hits women around the world and the second cause of death among different cancer types. Breast cancer is heterogeneous and combines various subtypes and classes that makes the diagnosis and treatment a complicated issue. Thus, many efforts were done regarding discovering new biomarkers that help in early diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, which lead to better outcome along with enhancing survival rate. This review aimed to gather, concisely and briefly, some of the most recent discovered genes and proteins with high potential to be used as biomarkers for breast cancer detection and prognosis. We discussed, briefly, the promising role of tissue Lipocalin 1, Cysteine protease cathepsin, Ras associated proteins 22a, 4-Heterogeneity nuclear proteins A2/B1, 6-Insulinoma associated protein 1, 7- Fizzy-related protein 1 and Facio-genital dysplasia gene 3, in addition to serum Autotaxin –Lysophosphatidic acid in breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

our gastrointestinal tract is home to a huge number of beneficial bacteria known as intestinal microflora changed the understanding of many physiological and pathological processes in the human body. Based on these scientific discoveries, the laboratories of the Allergozan Institute in Austria have created the synbiotic combinations "Omnibiotic", which are specific and aimed at specific problems related to human health. Purpose: The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of the probiotic Omni Biotic Stress Repair in the treatment of functional abdominal pain (FAP) and some organic gastrointestinal diseases in childhood. Material and Methods: A prospective study has been done on children with FAP and PUD. For one year, we monitored 62 children with functional abdominal pain and duodenal ulcer who received Omni Biotic Stress Repair for 3 months. The causes of children's suffering were reported. Results: There are 39 children with functional abdominal pain, 22 of which are girls and 17 boys, and children with peptic ulcer disease – 23/12 boys and 11 girls/. The FAP group received Omni Biotic Stress Repair as self-therapy for three months. We reported very good results in all children. Only four children did not get the desired effect, and they dropped out of the study in the first month. In children with peptic ulcer disease, the probiotic Omni Biotic Stress Repair is added as a satellite therapy to the main treatment. When clinical remission occurred, the patients continued to take only probiotics for 3 months or more. Conclusions: Based on these scientific discoveries, the laboratories of the Allergozan Institute in Austria have created the synbiotic combinations "Omnibiotic", which are specific and aimed at specific problems related to human health.

La linfadenitis en el Cuy –C– (Cavia porcellus) es de importancia clínica, pero su etiología y tratamientos terapéuticos siguen siendo insuficiente en el campo de la Medicina Veterinaria; por ello se planteó en identificar la etiología y su susceptibilidad antibiótica de bacterias causales de Linfadenitis cervical (LC) en C reproductoras clínicamente enfermas. Se trabajó con 50 C de raza Perú, clínicamente afectadas por esta enfermedad (25 con abscesos externos y 25 con abscesos internos). Se tomaron 25 muestras independientes mediante punción/aspiración de los ganglios linfáticos de cada grupo. Las muestras fueron cultivadas en medios ABS, TSA, BHI, suplementados con sangre de alpaca, enriquecidos con caldo FTM e incubadas a 37 °C durante 48 horas. La identificación de las bacterias se hizo mediante caracterización morfológica, microscópica, prueba de Camp y bioquímicas. La susceptibilidad antibiótica se evaluó mediante el método Kirby-Bauer utilizando seis antibióticos usuales del mercado veterinario. Se encontraron elevadas frecuencias de Streptobacillus moniliformis (100 y 96 %), Streptococcus pyogenes (96 y 100 %) y Streptococcus zooepidemicus (96 y 92 %) con estrecha asociación entre las tres bacterias para abscesos externos e internos y con presencia de multiresistencia antibiótica a más de tres antibióticos (ampicilina, oxitetraciclina, amoxicilina, cloranfenicol), con respuesta de sensibilidad a penicilina (26-29 %) y gentamicina (23-26 %) como posible éxito terapéutico. Los abscesos subcutáneos externos e internos con LC en C evidenciaron predominancia de bacteria Gram negativas S. moniliformis, S. pyogenes y S. zooepidemicus multidrogaresistente con elevadas frecuencias.
