Государственный оборонный заказ: проблемы исполнения обязательств
Authors: Battakhov P.P. , Ovchinnikova Y.S.
Published: December 2024

В рассматриваемой области отношений (государственный оборонный заказ) отмечается приоритет публичных интересов, что вызвано особо важными для государства и общества целями. Вместе с тем частноправовая составляющая данных правоотношений имеет также огромное значение, что связано с особой ролью норм гражданского права в регулировании данных правоотношений. В статье отмечена важность как публично-правового, так и частноправового аспекта регулирования правоотношений по государственному оборонному заказу.
Выявлено, что система обязательств и правила контроля исполнения в рамках государственного оборонного заказа связаны с необходимостью рационального и целевого расходования бюджетных средств, а также создания условий для качественного исполнения государственного оборонного заказа.
При исполнении обязательств в рамках государственного оборонного заказа возникает немало проблем, в частности по срокам и размеру оплаты работ (услуг, поставки продукции), вследствие чего возникает необходимость защиты имущественных интересов исполнителей. В статье сделаны предложения по совершенствованию законодательства в сфере государственного оборонного заказа – с позиции защиты интересов исполнителей.
Examination of the Obligation to Sell and Its Enforcement in Iranian Law with a Comparative View of French Law
Authors: Malihi Seyyed Mostafa
Published: December 2024

The obligation to sell is one of the contentious topics in contract law, with its status and implications being a subject of debate among legal scholars. Accordingly, this article examines the obligation to sell and its enforcement mechanisms under Iranian law, with a comparative perspective on French law, aiming to provide a clear view of the obligation to sell from a comparative standpoint. This descriptive-analytical study addresses the posed question using a library-based research method. The findings indicate that under Iranian law, the obligation to sell cannot be equated with a sale. Instead, it is one of the instances of an undefined contract and can be explained within the framework of a contractual obligation to transfer. Its enforcement mechanisms include the obligation to perform the commitment and to pay damages. This is because the obligation to sell constitutes a contract between the parties, and this obligation, in accordance with Articles 10 and 219 of the Civil Code and the principle of binding agreements, is enforceable for both parties. The obligee can, through the preliminary obligation, compel the obligor to fulfill the principal obligation. In cases where a conflicting contract renders the performance of the obligation to sell impossible, the second contract is considered valid, and the obligor is required to pay damages to the obligee. Similarly, in French law, the obligation to sell is recognized and considered a contractual obligation to transfer, with legal implications. In this jurisdiction, the obligation to perform the commitment and to pay damages are also the primary enforcement mechanisms for the obligation to sell.
International Criminal Policy in Crimes Against Humanity with Emphasis on Contemporary Jurisprudence
Authors: Najafnezhadan Hoosain , Rajabi Tajamir Ebrahim , Samavati pirouz Amir
Published: December 2024

Traditional and classical principles of criminal jurisdiction—territorial jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and real jurisdiction—are insufficient to provide the necessary criminal jurisdiction for domestic courts to effectively address crimes of an international magnitude. Consequently, perpetrators of such crimes often choose to reside in countries that are not directly or indirectly associated with the crimes, thereby escaping punishment for their criminal acts. It is evident that special courts and international criminal tribunals have always been established post facto, following war crimes, genocide, and territorial aggression. This study, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, examines crimes against humanity under the framework of international law and jurisprudence.
Challenges of Upholding Citizens' Rights in the Crime Detection Process
Authors: Nouri Hadi , Abdinejad Saleh , Shekharbeigi Alireza
Published: December 2024

A citizen is an individual who, in relation to the government, is endowed with civil and political rights on one hand and holds obligations toward the government on the other. Essentially, citizenship rights are founded on three main principles: civil rights, political rights, and social rights, and they are regarded as fundamental components of human rights. In democratic societies, the term "citizen" refers to individuals who hold the nationality of a country and, consequently, benefit from rights and privileges endorsed by the constitution and other ordinary laws of that country. Citizenship, as a pervasive modern social status and role, encompasses an interconnected set of equal rights and responsibilities for all, fostering a sense of social belonging and encouraging collective participation regardless of racial, ethnic, class, cultural, or religious affiliations. Citizens' rights, which are based on a mutual social contract and a series of reciprocal rights between the government and the people, as well as a shared public sentiment toward national and social identity, face various obstacles and challenges. In Iran, the barriers to the implementation of citizens' rights are primarily related to the lack of a clear definition of the status of these rights, insufficient education on citizenship rights, and the failure to institutionalize them within various social layers.

Published: December 2024

The present study aimed to examine the influential dimensions on innovative universities in Iraq's higher education using a descriptive-survey method during the 2023–2024 academic year. The statistical population included all faculty members and administrators of universities in Iraq. A sample of 385 individuals was determined based on Cochran's formula and selected through random sampling. For data collection in the quantitative phase, a researcher-made questionnaire was employed. The validity of the instrument was assessed using face and content validity, which included two indices: the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and the Content Validity Index (CVI). To determine the reliability of the instrument, Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability were used. Data analysis involved frequency, percentage, charts, tables, mean, and standard deviation. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied to check the normality of data distribution. To address the research questions, statistical tests such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, confirmatory factor analysis, and model fit indices (ranging from 1 to 2.33 as less desirable, 2.33 to 3.66 as moderately desirable, and 3.66 to 5 as desirable) were employed. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 21 and SmartPLS 3 software. The findings indicated that strategic, structural-organizational, educational, research, and interaction dimensions respectively had the greatest impact on innovation in Iraqi universities. The proposed model demonstrated strong fit, highlighting the importance of strategic planning and organizational infrastructure in fostering innovation. The study emphasizes the need for innovative strategies, improved organizational structures, and enhanced international collaborations. This model can aid in advancing innovation in Iraqi universities and aligning them with global developments.

Authors: Velaei Smad , Hojjati Seyed Abdollah , Imanzadeh Ali
Published: December 2024

This research has investigated the lived experiences of art students of technical and vocational schools during the covid-19 pandemic. The research method was qualitative and phenomenological, and the data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 20 art students from different regions of Iran. Data analysis was done using the Claizian method and the results were categorized into three main themes including challenges, opportunities, and adaptation strategies. The findings showed that the main challenges included lack of technological infrastructure (80%), reduced social interactions (70%), and psychological stress (60%). On the other hand, opportunities such as strengthening self-learning skills (60%), increasing the use of educational technologies (50%), and flexibility in learning (40%) were also observed. The students were also able to reduce some of the negative effects of this era by using adaptive strategies such as diverse evaluations (45%), psychological and social support (40%), and forming virtual groups (50%). This research showed that despite significant challenges, crisis situations can be used as an opportunity to redesign educational methods and strengthen independent learning skills. Based on the findings, suggestions are made to improve educational infrastructure, strengthen social interactions in crisis situations, and train teachers to use new technologies. These results can help educational policy makers to develop more resilient programs to face similar crises.

On Kreb Algebras
Authors: Ilojide E.
Published: December 2024

In this paper, kreb algebras are introduced. It is shown that that the class of kreb algebras is a wider class than the class of BCI algebras. Properties of kreb algebras are presented. A new binary relation different from the one in classical BCI algebras is defined in kreb algebras, and it is shown that with this relation, kreb algebras are partially ordered sets. It is established that this relation is not a partial ordering in classical BCI algebras. The partial ordering is then used to investigate other properties of kreb algebras. New kinds of ideals and homomorphisms are also introduced and studied in kreb algebras independent of these concepts in classical BCI algebras.

Authors: Golabian Bijan , Khoddami Alireza , Karimi Majid Reza
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aims to examine the influence of socio-economic status (SES) on the national identity of youth aged 18-30 in District 1 of Shiraz, Iran.

Methods and Materials: A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, with a sample of 384 youth selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed SES and national identity. The questionnaire was self-administered, and the data were analyzed using SPSS and SMART PLS software. Descriptive statistics, factor loadings, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to explore the relationships between variables.

Findings: The results indicate that SES significantly influences national identity among youth in Shiraz. Higher levels of education, income, and occupational status were associated with stronger national identity. Additionally, mental well-being, linked to SES, was found to play a critical role in the development of national identity. The study also found that cultural capital, tied to family affluence, significantly contributes to national identity, with youth from higher SES backgrounds exhibiting a stronger sense of national belonging.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that socio-economic status is a critical determinant of national identity among youth. Educational attainment, income, and occupational status, along with mental well-being and cultural capital, are key factors that influence how youth perceive and engage with their national identity. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to address socio-economic disparities and promote a strong, inclusive national identity.

Published: December 2024

The implementation of the MATATAG curriculum in the Philippines aims to address the challenges faced by the K-12 education system, focusing on humanized learning, reducing content overload, and emphasizing essential skills. This study investigates the impact of the MATATAG curriculum on teachers’ perceptions and classroom practices, specifically evaluating its effect on academic performance. A paired t-test was used to analyze data collected from teachers before and after the implementation of the curriculum, examining key factors such as flexibility in implementation, educational gaps, teacher training, student engagement, and the role of parental involvement. Findings reveal that while the MATATAG curriculum has positively impacted history and geography education by enhancing awareness of contemporary issues, there are still significant challenges, such as the need for continued teacher support, professional development, and collaboration between educators and parents. Despite these obstacles, the curriculum’s focus on literacy skills and global competitiveness has shown promise in improving students’ academic outcomes. The study highlights the importance of continuous feedback, professional growth, and collaboration to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the MATATAG curriculum. Recommendations include further investment in teacher training, improvement of resource allocation, strengthening the involvement of parents and communities, and addressing logistical and infrastructural gaps. Continuous evaluation and refinement of the curriculum based on feedback from all stakeholders will help enhance its effectiveness. Long-term support mechanisms should be established to sustain improvements in student engagement and academic performance.

Remote areas often lie in difficult-to-reach locations, such as mountainous or rugged terrains, which makes extending electricity infrastructure both costly and challenging. The sparse population and distance from economic hubs further deter investments, as the return on investment is typically low. This research deals with the economic feasibility analysis of two solar and wind energy projects over 20 years, focusing on calculating a set of financial factors such as monthly revenues, operating costs, monthly and cumulative cash flows, and taxes due on revenues and the capital payback period for each project was also calculated in addition to their Net Present Value (NPV) and the monthly cash flows were calculated through the revenues resulting from the sale of energy generated from solar and wind systems, in addition to calculating the operating costs that include maintenance and operation. Revenues and costs were adjusted annually using the inflation factor (3%), which reflects the economic reality and the results of the financial analysis showed that solar energy is the most economically viable option compared to wind energy.

From Saint Nino to Women in Georgia’s Winemaking
Authors: Dinello Natalia
Published: December 2024

The “Grapevine Cross” of Saint Nino symbolizes the sacredness of the vine and wine in Georgia. Despite the prominence of female images in the country’s heritage, a patriarchal culture and gender segregation have survived through centuries in Georgia. This state of affairs applies to winemaking – a key sector for the economy and social life. Yet, against all odds, the recent decades have seen an incredible women’s arrival in the Georgian wine scene.  Women break barriers and destroy outdated stereotypes by building successful businesses focused on premium wines with high export potential. While contributing to the renaissance of Georgian wine culture, they also establish themselves as valuable players in the country’s wine community.
Seljuk Traces in Medieval Georgia: Title of Atabeg
Authors: Guven Onur
Published: December 2024

Atabeg is a title used in the Seljuks and later Turkish states. This title started with the Seljuks in Turkish political life and then gained an important place in the administrative structure of other principalities and states. This title was also used in the Georgian Kingdom. The Georgian Kingdom was in a feudal structure in the Middle Ages and was ruled by a feudal monarchy. This title, which found its place in Georgian political life when Georgian King Tamara gave the title of Atabeg to Ivane Mkhargrdzeli, was later used by members of the Mankaberdeli family. The title of Atabeg, which became silent towards the end of the XIIIth century, began to be used in Saatabago under the rule of the Cakeli family from the beginning of the XIVth century. In this study, information will be given about the title of Atabeg, which is historically important for the Georgians and used as an important political title for the Seljuks.
Unknown Georgian Chronicles Recounting the Persian-Byzantine War of 541-562 and the Khazar Capture of Tbilisi in 628
Authors: Sanadze Manana
Published: December 2024

While researching the details of the Georgian hagiographic work written around 1058 – The Martyrdom of Davit and Costantine – it became evident that the invasion described therein, followed by the martyrdom of the principals of Argveti, Davit and Costantine, was not actually the invasion of the armies of Marwan the Deaf and the Arabs, despite the attempt of the 11th-century author to portray it as such. But it narrates the history of the Persian-Byzantine War that took place in 541-562. Historian of the second half of the 11th century, Leonti Mroveli, possessed another chronicle describing the same event, different from the one available to the hagiographer. Because the text of The Georgian Chronicles in his possession had already been extended prior to the appearance of the Arabs and the reign of Stephanos II (mid-7th century), he positioned the obtained chronicle immediately after Stephanos II to further continue the narrative. In this way, the sons of Vakhtang Gorgasali, who lived during the Persian-Byzantine War and participated in it, namely Darchil and Mihrdat (also known as Mihr), turned into the sons of Stephanos II, Archil and Mihr. Another piece of information from one more chronicle, which Leonti also inserted, albeit with chronological confusion, is a narrative about Juansher and Ioane, whom he presented as the sons of Archil and actors of the end of the 8th century. In reality, the chronicle tells us about the situation in Kartli in 628–635 – specifically, the capture of Tbilisi by the Khazars in 628 and the history of the representatives of the Revian branch of the Sassanians (Khosrowids) of the Kartli Kingdom, Juansher, and his sister Shushana.

"Tomb of King Irakli" is not an expression of Nikoloz Baratashvili's political and national beliefs, it is the point of view of the man to whom the poet dedicated this poem and entered it into the album upon his own request. In dedicated poems, the poet always conveyed the words of the person or object to whom they were dedicated. This was his literary method. Therefore, this poem cannot be used as a definition of Baratashvili's national-political beliefs, moreover, during the period of writing this poem, the poet had a completely different point of view in his poetry and personal letters.
The European Ombudsman: Defending Democracy and Human Rights Amidst the Crisis in Ukraine
Authors: MARTIN Guillaume , OUDIN Dimitri
Published: December 2024

The European Ombudsman is appointed to combat cases of European "maladministration" with regard to European citizens. He is seen as the promoter of good Community administration, with a concern for transparency in the democratic and institutional functioning of Europe, involving citizens as directly as possible. A survey of the main minutes and decisions taken by the European network of ombudsmen (May 2022 - October 2023) following Russia's invasion of Ukraine reveals three major issues on which the Ombudsman is establishing himself as a soft power institution within the European Union: the reception of refugees within the European Union, the transparency of the EU Council's decision-making process in relation to sanctions against Russia, and participation, through his referral, in monitoring Ukraine's progress in terms of democracy, the rule of law and the fight against corruption.
High North
Authors: Natenadze Vladimir
Published: December 2024

The High North, encompassing the Arctic regions of countries such as Norway, Russia, Canada, Denmark (Greenland), and the United States (Alaska), is a region of critical geopolitical, environmental, and economic significance. This area is characterized by its harsh climate, unique ecosystems, and the presence of indigenous communities with rich cultural heritages. Climate change is dramatically reshaping the High North, leading to the melting of ice caps and glaciers, which in turn opens new maritime routes and reveals vast reserves of natural resources like oil, gas, and minerals. These developments have spurred international interest and competition, highlighting the need for robust governance and sustainable practices. The region's environmental sensitivity, combined with its role in global climate regulation through ice-albedo feedback mechanisms, underscores the urgency of addressing environmental and socio-economic challenges. The High North stands at the forefront of global climate change impacts, necessitating comprehensive strategies for conservation, sustainable development, and international collaboration to ensure its future stability and resilience.
Evaluating the Effect of Stock Liquidity & Limitation of Orders on Future Fluctuations Case Study: Petrochemical Companies Admitted in Tehran Stock Exchange
Authors: Fooladi Sara , Anvari Roya
Published: December 2024

Fluctuations in stock prices are commonly observed in all stock exchanges and are considered a natural aspect of market dynamics. These fluctuations are influenced by a variety of factors both within and outside of organizations. When these factors are identified, shareholders can make informed decisions by evaluating their own holdings as well as those of others in the market. This enables them to take appropriate actions such as maintaining, selling, or replacing their shares as needed. This research examines the impact of stock liquidity and order restrictions on the future fluctuations of petrochemical companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange over a five-year period. Utilizing a panel data approach, monthly time series data obtained from the Stock Exchange is analyzed. The hypotheses are tested using panel data econometric methods and the EViews7 software. The findings reveal a significant relationship between relative liquidity and future stock price fluctuations, as well as a significant relationship between sales order limits and future fluctuations. Consequently, it is recommended that regulatory authorities implement effective policies regarding stock liquidity and sales order limits to manage and mitigate sudden fluctuations in the Stock Exchange

Biomechanical analysis and tactical awareness cultivation of badminton players’ variable speed running training
Authors: Li Weiguo
Published: December 2024

In recent years, the combination of machine learning (ML) and computer vision has influenced sports training approaches, notably for monitoring player performance. This research gives a detailed biomechanical analysis of badminton players during speed-running training, using insights from ML techniques. Key biomechanical metrics such as gait, speed, and acceleration are assessed by tracking players’ motions and the dynamics of their running patterns using computer vision techniques. The badminton stroke video dataset was collected from the Kaggle source. To ensure high-quality input for analysis, the data preprocessing stages include video stabilization with the Kalman filter, noise reduction with Gaussian smoothing, and frame extraction using temporal sampling. Feature extraction approaches like the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) are used for shape recognition and optical flow for motion tracking. The study provides the use of a simulation environment built on a Modified Ant Lion Optimized Decision Trees (MALO+DT) model trained on historical training data, which allows for the prediction of player movement and biomechanical adjustments based on contextual features such as environment variations and player fatigue. The findings demonstrate that speed running training improves tactical awareness and decision-making in dynamic environments. The performance of the suggested approach was evaluated on the Python platform. The model achieves good prediction accuracy (98.3%), recall (97.4%), F1-score (98%), and precision (97.5%), demonstrating a model's abilities for analysis the effect of training on player biomechanics. Furthermore, the significance of this study is assessed for tactical awareness development, providing coaches and analysts with actionable insights to enhance practices and increase player performance. The findings show that combining biomechanical analysis with speed running training significantly improves players’ adaptability and responsiveness during matches, resulting in a more strategic approach to badminton teaching.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of HpD-photodynamic therapy in the treatment of high-grade vaginal squamous intraepithelial lesions. Methods: Fifteen patients diagnosed by pathology as vaginal HSIL were selected from January 2020 to September 2022. PDT was performed by 630 nm laser 48 h–72 h after intravenous injection of 2.0 mg/kg–2.5 mg/kg hematoporphyrin derivative. The power density is 100 mW/ cm2，the irradiation time is 30 min, and the energy density is 180 J/cm2. The curative effect was evaluated by histopathological biopsy and HPV examination 3–6 months after operation. The numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) system was used to record the intraoperative and postoperative pain. Patient’s satisfaction was self-evaluated during the operation, the adverse reactions and complications were observed at 1 week, 1 month and 3–6 months after operation. Results: 15 patients were treated using PDT. After 3–6 months，8 cases were reported complete remission (CR), 3 cases were reported partial remission (PR) and 4 cases were reported no remission. The effective rate was 73.3%. All 15 patients were high-risk HPV infected and the clearance rate was 26.7% (4/15). 6 patients（40%）had tolerable lower abdominal pain within 1 week after operation, 4 patients (26. 7%) had tolerable lower abdominal pain within 1 week after operation (NPRS was 0. 73 ± 1. 2 and 0. 47 ± 0. 8) and 1 patient had local photosensitive reaction. Conclusions: PDT is effective, safe and non-invasive in the treatment of high squamous intraepithelial lesions of the vagina. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Purpose: The study’s first objective was to investigate whether the utilization of the cooperative learning method can enhance Chinese college students’ performance and motivation in English communicative competence. The second objective was to explore students’ views on the cooperative learning method in learning communicative competence. Methodology: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using quantitative and qualitative data. The sample was 80 first-year non-English majors from two polytechnic colleges in Guangdong, China. The Experimental Group and the Control Group, respectively, consisted of 40 students. The Experimental Group was taught using the STAD (cooperative learning) method and the Control Group was taught using the conventional method for eight weeks. Before the intervention, both groups were given a pre-test and after the intervention, they were given a post-test to gauge their performance in English communicative competence.   Following that, 8 students from the Experimental Group were interviewed, using semi-structured interview questions to explore their views and experiences on the STAD method. Findings: Results from the post-test indicated that the Experimental Group significantly outperformed the Control Group in their overall score for communicative competence and motivation. Thematic analysis from the focus-group interview showed that the STAD method was a very effective teaching tool in enhancing students’ English communicative competence and facilitated them to improve their fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, pronunciation, and listening skills. Conclusion: This study has crucial pedagogical implications because it suggests that the STAD method can enhance students’ English communicative competence.
