Authors: Liang Wei , Wang Qiufei
Published: July 2024

The economy has flourished since China’s reformation and opening up, as it has progressively intensified and thoroughly reformed businesses owned by the state. In recent years, the reformation of businesses with mixed ownership has been central to numerous guidelines and the focal point of that of enterprises owned by the state. The reformation of board governance brought about by this hybrid reform is crucial to enhancing the efficacy of state-owned enterprise governance. As one of corporate governance’s crucial elements, board governance will have a certain impact on cost control. Based on the adjustment ABJ expense stickiness test model, this paper empirics studies how the board of directors controls and supervises the management's self-interested behavior on free cash flow resources through the governance structure, thus affecting expense stickiness. The findings indicate that cost stickiness exists in companies owned by the Chinese government and undergoing mixed reformation. Free cash flow can enhance the stickiness of expenses. In the case of abundant free cash flow, improving board governance has the effect of restraining the stickiness of expenses. The outcomes of the research have significant policy implications to enhance the conversion and improvement of businesses owned by the state and the progression of high-quality enterprises.

Identitní trhliny češství muslimů druhé generace v České republice: hledání místa přináležení
Authors: Rendek Zuzana
Published: July 2024

Článek tematizuje přináležení druhé generace muslimů k českému prostoru. Tito mladí lidé se v České republice narodili, byli zde socializováni, mají české občanství, ale hegemonní diskurz české nacionality je natolik specifický, že nikoliv vždy do jejího obrazu zapadají. Jejich rodiče přicházeli do Československa a později do České republiky v 70. a 90. let převážně ze studijních a pracovních důvodů, ze zemí Blízkého východu, subsaharské Afriky či (post)sovětského regionu. Repertoár jejich politiky identit je i z tohoto důvodu vícevrstevnatý a rozmanitý. Ptám se tedy, jak vyjednávají svou identitu ve vztahu k češství a jakými praxemi ji naplňují s ohledem na migrační původ jejich rodičů. Data jsem vytvořila na základě polo-strukturovaných rozhovorů.

AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICABILITY OF BECKER’S MODEL OF CRIME: A CASE STUDY OF RAPE, TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS AND CORRUPTION IN INDIA
Authors: Hegde Chinmayee , Pai Anuradha S
Published: July 2024

The basis of the entire legal system, since time immemorial, is shrouded in the ideals of justice. Crime attracts Punishment. When a wrongdoer or a criminal is punished, the balance of society is restored. Justice prevails and society reverts to the civil course of functioning. This is the major principle that criminal law is based on. Different jurists have proposed multiple theories of punishment in Jurisprudence. Most societies across the world today follow a punishment model that is a mixture of reformative theory and deterrent theory. The reformative model includes rehabilitation and community service. These activities help the wrongdoer in analysing their mistakes and becoming a better person. While, imprisonment, the death penalty and penalties or fines imposed on the wrongdoer deter them from committing the crime again and also deter other members of society from committing such an act. In some cases, the guilty are sentenced to a particular prison time and also asked to pay penalties or fines to the court or compensation to the victim. This is where the economic approach to particular crime factors in. This paper is divided into three parts. The first part deals with theories of punishments and how specific punishments are decided for specific crimes. The second part discusses the economic perspectives of penalties, fines, and compensations by applying Becker’s economic model to certain crimes like rape and traffic violations in India. In furtherance, the third part of this paper analyses the data available on white-collar crimes in India, applying Becker’s economic model to corruption data in India in particular, and how monetary deterrents can be used to contain the crimes. As per the analysis, Becker’s economic model of crime applies to traffic violations but not rape and white-collar crimes.

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of boba beverage business in Ambon City using the Five Forces Porter approach. The research method used is descriptive qualitative by collecting data through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The analysis is done using the concept of Five Porter Forces, namely the competition between existing competitors, supplier negotiation power, buyer negotiation power, the threat of new entrants, and the threat of substitute products. The results show that the boba beverage industry in Ambon City has a significant potential and is still growing. The competition between existing competitors is relatively high with several well-known brands in the market, but there is still an opportunity to develop through innovative products and proper promotion. Supplier negotiation power is also relatively high due to the need for specialized raw materials, but there are several alternative suppliers that can be utilized. Buyer negotiation power is quite low because boba drinks are considered a premium product with a relatively high price. The threat of new entrants is relatively low due to several entry barriers in this industry, such as high investment costs and the difficulty of obtaining high-quality raw materials. The threat of substitute products is relatively low because boba drinks have a unique taste and a fairly loyal customer base.

Published: July 2024

Lignocellulolytic biocatalysts, including laccase, cellulase, and pectinase, have high potential for degrading lignocellulosic biomass (LCB). Jute and banana are fiber-producing LCBs that hold significant economic value. Nevertheless, certain parts of these plants are utilized as waste material due to their low-quality fiber, which causes losses for the industry. These waste portions can be processed and biologically converted into high-value fiber. A bacterial strain called Stenotrophomonas maltophilia GD1, which can produce several proteins, was isolated from the Sundarban mangrove ecosystem in West Bengal, India, and genetically analyzed via 16S rRNA sequencing. The strain exhibited the ability to produce all three necessary lignocellulolytic enzymes, with the highest levels of laccase and minimal cellulase and pectinase activity. The strain modified the fibers extensively, as determined by Young’s modulus, and removed the color from the toxic industrial dyes. This demonstrates the broad potential of this strain for waste valorization and environmental remediation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the enhanced fiber quality. Microbial phylogenetic relationships were established using Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis version 11 (MEGA 11).

Najliczniejszą w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej grupę kasiarzy tworzyli przestępcy warszawscy (ponad 200 osób). Artykuł stanowi próbę analizy środowiskowej z elementami prozopografii. Szukam odpowiedzi na pytania o to, kim byli warszawscy kasiarze okresu międzywojennego. Szczególnie interesujące pozostaje zagadnienie dotyczące ich pochodzenia społecznego, a także próba rekonstrukcji przebiegu ich „karier” przestępczych oraz pytanie o motywacje. Artykuł kończą rozważania dotyczące relacji między ówczesną rzeczywistością a funkcjonującym obecnie obrazem międzywojennych kasiarzy.
The unspoken phenomenon: Forced labour in Hungary: Przemilczane zjawisko: praca przymusowa na Węgrzech
Authors: Szandra Windt
Published: July 2024

According to official criminal statistics, a total of 36 registered forced labour crimes were committed in Hungary between 2013 and 2019. Forced labour (Section 193 of the Criminal Code) was a separate statutory element in Hungary between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2020. In 2019, nearly 40 forced labour cases were analysed, the sociological and criminological characteristics of which are summarised and shown in this article following the statistical review. Based on the cases we examined, it can be said that the victim has alcohol problems, is homeless and unemployed, is in extremely poor health condition, has a low intellectual level and is elderly. In terms of their gender, there was a significant number of men among the victims of forced labour. Victims of forced labour and those crimes that were committed against them are even more hidden, even more difficult to detect and to prove than are acts of sexual exploitation. These people are a ‘hidden population’, statuses such as ‘subtenants’ or ‘accepted relatives’ obviously do not reveal the real situation to police officers arriving on the scene. It is possible that this situation prevails for years and is not brought to the authorities.
Taking stock of labour trafficking in the Netherlands: Ogląd zjawiska handlu ludźmi do pracy przymusowej w Holandii
Authors: Masja van Meeteren  , Nikki Heideman

In the Netherlands, labour trafficking was criminalised as human trafficking in 2005. Since then, criminal investigations into labour trafficking have slowly taken off. Building on a content analysis of files and reports from the labour inspectorate, this paper contributes to the currently limited body of knowledge on the nature of labour trafficking. It does so by focussing on scholarly debates about the nature of the crime and its relation to labour migration. Based on the analysis, it is argued that the bulk of labour trafficking should be understood as a by-product of labour migration, and that labour trafficking often arises from the economic opportunistic motives of businesses and only occasionally occurs in criminal environments. In addition, the paper adds to our understanding of the prosecution of human trafficking by analysing why so many labour trafficking cases in the Netherlands have not resulted in a conviction. Building on a qualitative analysis of case law, it is shown that a major problem in getting suspects convicted is that the human rights threshold against which cases of labour trafficking are tested is often not surpassed, as the abuses in the labour market are often deemed not excessive enough to qualify as human trafficking.
(Penal) populism and experts in the age of the digital crowd wisdom
Authors: Szafrańska Michalina
Published: July 2024

Disregard for scientific facts and knowledge holders has usually been identified as a distinguishing feature of the penal populists’ politics. But is penal populism always anti-intellectual? In this article, I provide some deeper insight into the role of expertise in (penal) populist activity, especially in the context of the currently observed redefinition of expertise (some call it “the death of expertise”) and rapid development of new technologies that enable easy aggregation of citizensʼ collective wisdom. Will crowdlaw-making platforms prevent (penal) populism? Or will they strengthen it by facilitating the justification of radical and unnecessary changes in (criminal) law? Is there a place for traditionally conceived experts and established knowledge in crowdsourced law-making process, and if so, what should be their role?
Elite punitive populism and youth justice reform in Chile: Legitimizing a new political order
Authors: Rodriguez Gutierrez Daniela
Published: July 2024

Chilean youth justice went through a drastic reform process during the 2000s, it was the second radical youth justice reform movement in the country since the creation of the Law of Minors in 1928. The decision to reform took place as Chile transitioned and stabilized into democracy after the authoritarian regime of the 1970s and 1980s. Superficially, it seems this is just one more way of embracing democracy and Human Rights. However, after in depth documental analysis of both the reform and the socio-political context, this paper offers a different insight and an explanation for the sudden relevance of youth justice, as a tool used by authoritarian political elites that then filtered into the political elite of the new democracy. In this context, populism played a key role in spreading concerns about youth offending and the need for a new youth justice which worked to strengthen the legitimacy of authoritarian practices in the new Chilean democratic order. It was an elite-driven populism that transformed youth justice into a key social and political concern.
Populist and vindictive constructions of sexual offending, pluralities of violence, and the implications for criminal and social justice

Drawing upon the “sociology of vindictiveness” (Young 2003; 2007) and Sumner’s (1990; 1994) work on censure the authors examine the construal, responses and treatment of individuals who have committed a sexual offence against a child/children (ICSOAC).  We seek to understand the dynamics and social processes of the exclusion of others and the way negative, sectional and bureaucratised discourses, policies and practices can “other” marginalised groups, for political expediency. We argue that to fully understand these responses we need to better understand the wider social dynamics and constructions which inform and shape societal perceptions in pursuit of an essentialised “good enemy”.  In line with this, we go on to outline the interaction between vindictiveness and populism in the administration of justice and situate the challenges this poses for both punishment and the rehabilitation and reintegration of individuals convicted of sexual crime.
Cerebellar nuclei cells produce distinct pathogenic spike signatures in mouse models of ataxia, dystonia, and tremor

The cerebellum contributes to a diverse array of motor conditions, including ataxia, dystonia, and tremor. The neural substrates that encode this diversity are unclear. Here, we tested whether the neural spike activity of cerebellar output neurons is distinct between movement disorders with different impairments, generalizable across movement disorders with similar impairments, and capable of causing distinct movement impairments. Using in vivo awake recordings as input data, we trained a supervised classifier model to differentiate the spike parameters between mouse models for ataxia, dystonia, and tremor. The classifier model correctly assigned mouse phenotypes based on single-neuron signatures. Spike signatures were shared across etiologically distinct but phenotypically similar disease models. Mimicking these pathophysiological spike signatures with optogenetics induced the predicted motor impairments in otherwise healthy mice. These data show that distinct spike signatures promote the behavioral presentation of cerebellar diseases.
