Abstract. Tan WA, Wijaya I, Purwadaria T. 2019. Bioprospecting of polyhydroxyalkanoates-producing bacteria from Indonesian marine environment. Biodiversitas 20: 1309-1315. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are potential alternates to conventional synthetic plastics. PHA production in bacteria involves PHA synthase gene encoded by phaC. In this study, we isolated PHA-producing bacteria from the coastline and 1 mile from the coastline of three beaches in Indonesia. Further phaC detection and characterization of PHA production were conducted. The isolates were subjected to phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA. Red Nile staining on minimal agar revealed that twenty-three isolates showed orange fluorescent, which indicated that they accumulated PHA in their cells. PCR detection showed the presence of PHA synthase class I-encoding gene phaC in twelve isolates. One representative amplicon was sequenced to verify its identity, in which it shared 86% similarity with the PHA synthase class I-encoding gene from an uncultured bacterium. Interestingly, the production of PHA in isolate ST.PA.75, which was closely related to Vibrio sp., was 2.1-fold higher than that in the Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 control. Three isolates showed similarity with bacterial genera and/or species for which PHA producing phenotypes had never been described before TP.SWC.20, which was closely related to Microbacterium arborescens, as well as TP.SWC.33 and TP.SWC.85, which were similar to Psychrobacter spp. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the PHA producing isolates were clustered into three phyla: γ-Proteobacteria, Actinomycetes, and Bacilli. A majority of the isolates (75%) were related to γ-Proteobacteria. In this study, we uncovered diverse novel promising strains for use in the production of PHA as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to hydrocarbon-based plastics.

Abstract. Iskandar BS, Iskandar J, Partasasmita R. 2019. Hobby and business on trading birds: Case study in bird market of Sukahaji, Bandung, West Java and Splendid, Malang, East Java (Indonesia). Biodiversitas 20: 1316-1332. Bird species have various ecological and socio-economic-cultural functions for the human being. Ecologically, birds have beneficial functions in the ecosystem, such as helping plant pollinators, spreading plant seeds, participating in controlling agricultural pests, and monitoring environmental changes. Meanwhile, bird functions for the social-economic and culture of the community among them are known as sources of protein food, mystical functions, sources of material stories, sources of inspiration to make songs, craft materials, the source of gene pool, and become pets and trade animals. With the rise of the urban population hobby of raising birds and also the development of various bird contest activities in the urban, causing of the bird trade is very widespread in urban areas, such as in bird markets. In some cities in Indonesia, various bird markets have been popularly known for a long time. This study aimed to elucidate species diversity, folk classification, bird populations, bird prices, constraints to bird trade, and the positive and negative effects of bird trade in the urban bird market. The research method used a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods with the ethnoecological approach. The results of this study showed that from a survey of 60 bird traders in the bird market of Sukahaji, Bandung, and Splendid, Malang, a total of 160 bird species, representing 38 families were documented. Among them, 10 species representing 7 families recorded as protected bird by law in Indonesia, based on recent government regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry of Republic of Indonesian No.106/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/12/2018. A total of 2,950 individuals were recorded in Sukahaji; while in Splendid were recorded 3,558 individuals. Prices of birds that are traded varied greatly depending on the species and characteristics of birds. It has been revealed that bird trade in the bird market has been various economic benefits for many people. However, due to the bird trade in bird markets in the city which has not been properly managed, the sustainability system of the bird trade in the city is very alarming caused of many factors, including decreasing of bird population over time in rural ecosystem as main supply of urban bird trading in the bird markets. Therefore, bird trading in the bird markets must be properly managed based on the sustainable development program concept, namely pro-economic, pro-social, and pro-environment.

Abstract. Bidyaleima L, Kishor R, Sharma GJ. 2019. Chromosome numbers, RAPD and ISSR profiles of six Zingiber species found in Manipur, India. Biodiversitas 20: 1389-1397. The present investigation was done to assess the cytological information and genetic relationships among six species of Zingiber, viz., Zingiber capitatum, Z. kangleipakense, Z. kerrii, Z. montanum, Z. officinale and Z. zerumbet found in Manipur, North-East India. The somatic chromosome numbers observed were 2n = 22 for Zingiber capitatum, Z. kerrii, Z. montanum, Z. officinale and Z. zerumbet, whereas Z. kangleipakense showed tetraploidy with 2n = 44. The somatic chromosome numbers of Zingiber kangleipakense and Z. kerrii are reported for the first time. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-specific sequence repeat (ISSR) molecular markers were employed to reveal the genetic relationships among the six species. The pair-wise Jaccard genetic similarity varied from 0.518 to 0.658 for RAPD and from 0.436 to 0.682 for ISSR data. Dendrogram derived from the combined data of RAPD and ISSR clustered the six members into two groups. The detected polymorphism level represents high genetic distance at the inter-species level, and introduces RAPD and ISSR as efficient markers for the assessment of genetic relatedness in Zingiber. Our results may provide useful information for application in breeding, conservation and utilization.

Abstract. Faot MM, Zubaidah S, Kuswantoro H. 2019. Genetic correlation and path analysis of agronomical traits of soybean (Glycine max) lines infected by CpMMV. Biodiversitas 20: 1496-1503. CpMMV is a virus that can decrease soybean production. The virus vector is an insect where the control is carried out using a chemical insecticide that is less environmentally friendly. Developing a superior variety of soybean that is resistant to CpMMV is one of the solutions to solve such a problem. This research aimed to study the relationship of agronomical traits to the yield of soybean line infected by CpMMV. Ten lines and two varieties of soybean with four replications was used in this study in a randomized complete block design. Bemisia tabaci was used in CpMMV infestation as the vector of the disease. Rearing Bemisia tabaci was done forty days before sowing the main experiment, and it placed surrounding the main experiment plots. The observation variables were disease severity, days to flowering and maturity, plant height, length, width and ratio of the leaf, number of branches and reproductive nodes, number of filled and unfilled pods, number of seeds, 100 seeds weight, and seed yield per plant. The data was analyzed for genotypic and phenotypic correlation, and the path analysis for direct and indirect effects of disease severity, and agronomical characters. The results showed that CpMMV infestation caused disease severity by about 20-28.5%. A significant positive phenotypic correlation to the seed yield per plant was shown by the number of reproductive nodes and the 100 seeds weight. Meanwhile, a significant positive genotypic correlation to the seed yield per plant was shown by the days to maturity and the number of branches. The number of reproductive nodes, the 100 seeds weight, and the number of seeds per plant showed a high direct effect to the seed yield per plant. The high positive indirect effect was also shown by the number of filled pods, days to flowering, plant height, leaf length, leaf width, the number of reproductive nodes, and the number of branches through the number of seeds per plant was also. Therefore, the selection criteria for high yielding CpMMV-resistant soybean lines can be based on the number of reproductive nodes and 100 seeds weight.

Biodiversitas 20: 1524-1536. Based on data from various environmental studies at the Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage (UCPS) Hydropower plan area, further studies need to be carried out that can provide clearer guidance on how to protect and restore the environment (including habitat) around the UCPS, protect, and manage the endangered biodiversity through adaptive approaches and ecosystem management. One of these studies was the UCPS Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP). The aim of this study was to identify the strategy for biodiversity management at the project site. Methods of this study were based on several years of qualitative and descriptive-analytical studies, which updated information from earlier studies. Information on the area’s biodiversity was obtained directly through field surveys and indirectly through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) with local community members and other stakeholders in the area. This article presents the strategy for biodiversity management at project site, including minimizing habitat gap and habitat loss; expanding and enriching habitats; making corridors; protecting the natural forests (protection of remnant forest); controlling access; managing fire, the impact of traffic on native fauna, land clearing and human-wildlife conflict; minimizing impacts to biodiversity,  particularly threatened species; integrating management with adjoining land managers (PLN, perhutani, the community); strengthening capacities for integrating and institutionalizing biodiversity conservation and management; conducting campaign for biodiversity awareness, communication, and education; and developing value-added products and alternative sustainable livelihood for bio-resource-dependent communities.

Abstract. Muzaki FK, Saptarini D, Ibadah AC. 2019. Juvenile and small fish diversity in mangroves of different root types in the Labuhan Coastal Area, Bangkalan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1537-1543. The complexities of mangrove root types are well known to have effect on communities of fish including larval, juvenile and adult stages. This study aimed to access the difference on species composition and diversity of juvenile and small fish from mangrove area of different root types, especially in mangroves of the coastal area of Sepulu, Bangkalan which is a mangrove protection area. The samples were collected from November 2016 to June 2017 using modified centipede nets and scoop nets. Four types of sampling locations were used. Areas with pneumatophores (S), stilt roots (R), a combination of both types (C) and areas without mangroves (T). At least 32 species from 16 families of juvenile and small fish were identified. Families of fish with highest number of species were Gobiidae with 13 species, followed by Ambassidae, Mugilidae, Eleotridae and Siganidae with 2 species each. Fish species with highest abundance in all sampling sites and periods were Oryzias javanicus (F. Adrianichthyidae, 22.039%), Ambassis kopsii (F. Ambassidae, 17.878%), Liza vaigiensis (F. Mugilidae, 9.613%), Am. buruensis (F. Ambassidae, 9.261%), Terapon jarbua (F. Terapontidae, 7.562%), L. subviridis (F. Mugilidae, 7.385%) and Pseudogobius javanicus (F. Gobiidae, 7.385%), respectively. Result of two-way Anova (p=0.05) suggest that area with stilt roots (R) which were dominated by mangrove Rhizophora have relatively higher abundance and species richness of juvenile and adult small fish. In addition, average Shannon-Weaner diversity index (H’) value in areas with stilt roots was 2.031 and highest compared to the other sampling sites.

Abstract. Damiri N, Mulawarman, Effendi RS. 2019. Antagonism of Pseudomonas fluorescens from plant roots to Rigidoporus lignosus pathogen of rubber white roots in vitro. Biodiversitas 20: 1549-1554. Indonesia's rubber productivity is still relatively low. This low productivity of rubber can be caused by many factors such as the attack of Rigidoporus lignosus. This study aims to explore antagonistic bacteria from the plant roots and test their antagonism ability to R. lignosus at the laboratory level. This research was conducted at the Laboratory at the Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, Indralaya Ogan Ilir District, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Corporate and bacterial isolations are carried out by serial dilution method. In-vitro testing of antagonistic bacteria was carried out using the dual-culture technique method on sterile PDA media by direct opposition between R. lignosus culture and antagonistic bacteria explored. Results of the study showed that a number of bacterial isolates existed there, namely 11 bacterial isolates belonging to Pseudomonas fluorescens, four from turmeric roots, three from the roots of rubber seedlings, two from galangal roots and two from the roots of yielding rubber plants. P. fluorescens from roots of turmeric, rubber seedlings, rubber, and galangal was able and had the potential to be developed as biopesticide to control R. lignosus. The best isolate in suppressing the growth and development of R. ligonosus is P. fluorescens isolates from the roots of turmeric and those of rubber seedlings (isolates of C, B, and G).

Abstract. Rambey R, Susilowati A, Anna N. 2019. Genetic diversity of mindi (Melia azedarach) from community forest in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia revealed by microsatellite marker. Biodiversitas 20: 1708-1712. Melia azedarach or locally known as mindi is fast growing and one of important tree species for community forests especially in West Java and North Sumatra, Indonesia. High demand for its wood must be accompanied by increased productivity through planting of high-quality seed. There is still lack of information about genetic diversity of mindi from different seed source in North Sumatra. Therefore, our research was conducted to determine genetic diversity of mindi from different seed source in North Sumatra through microsatellites marker. Leaf samples originated from three populations Percut Sei Tuan, Pancur Batu and Biru-Biru were used in this study. The SSR markers were from Azadirachta indica i.e. Ai5, Ai 11, Ai 13, Ai 14 and Ai 34. Molecular data were analyzed using Popgene and NTsys version 2.0. The result showed that number of alleles (na) ranging from 1.80 to 2.80, and percentage of polymorphic loci (PPL) ranging from 60 to 80 %. The level of genetic diversity showed that mindi in North Sumatra has moderate value (He: 0.244 to 0.269). It indicated that assessment of genetic diversity of M. azedarach North Sumatra is necessary for improvement and conservation of a species.

Abstract. Abinawanto, Intan MDB, Wardhana W, Bowolaksono A. 2019. DNA barcoding reveals species diversity of mantis shrimp larvae (stomatopods) from Banten Bay, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1758-1763. Larvae of stomatopods can be morphologically identified by linking between larval and adult form, but it's difficult applied in the laboratory because of requirement of condition to rearing larvae collected either from plankton, or spawning adults in the laboratory. Molecular methods are the alternative approach to gather accurate taxonomic identification. One of molecular methods is DNA barcoding based upon sequence diversity in cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI). Research on stomatopod larvae diversity and distribution at six stations in Banten Bay has been studied from October 2013 to March 2014. This study was conducted to identify the diversity of stomatopod larvae through DNA barcoding and also to examine the distribution of stomatopod larvae in Banten Bay. DNA barcoding was used to identify mantis shrimp larvae in Banten Bay, Indonesia. Partial mitochondrial COI were obtained for 37 larvae, revealing five distinct molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs). All MOTUs distinctively fell into Squillidea clade. Two Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units, MOTUs were successfully identified to species level (i.e. Anchisquilla fasciata), while three others remained identified to genus level (i.e. Stomatopoda spp). The intraspecific variation of COI ranged from 0% to 3.1% (Kimura 2-parameter distance), whereas interspecific divergence ranged from 5.9% to 20.4%. These results imply that COI genes are suitable for species identification of stomatopod larvae in this area, though the number of unidentified species was higher than the identified ones. This is likely because of the limited database in GenBank. In addition, the two identified species represents new records for this area, suggesting that the mantis shrimp in the area have been underestimated based on traditional biodiversity measures. We recommend to develop a taxonomically-comprehensive DNA barcoding database to improve the accuracy and feasibility of using DNA barcoding for species identification of Indonesia mantis shrimps.
Unlocking the third space in a global world: The intersection of technology-enhanced learning, intercultural competencies and ballet education
Authors: Zubovic Tina
Published: June 2019

In many countries including Croatia the government has identified the importance of embedding intercultural competence across different stages of education. This article explores the definitions and frameworks of intercultural learning and analyses how and why intercultural education is relevant for any subject including ballet. It is argued that technology can play a major role in the delivery of intercultural values to ballet students by presenting them with alternative models of cultural expression and diversity in cultural representation and by illustrating possibilities for establishing links between creative work and current sociocultural occurrences. So far, the disciplinary connection between technology, intercultural learning and ballet has not received sufficient scholarly attention. This article fills this gap by bringing together previous research and theoretical perspectives from the critical and postcolonial literature to offer a set of principles aimed at helping ballet teachers plan student engagement in the intercultural learning.
Promises and pitfalls of ecotourism: patterns from a literature review
Authors: Voumard Morgane
Published: June 2019

Ecotourism theoretically consists of responsible travel to natural areas that confers environmental and social benefits. Despite those positive aims, there has been a scholar emphasis on the uneven results of ecotourism development, highlighting the gaps between its promised and observed outcomes. A growing number of academics assigns those failures to the capitalist nature of ecotourism and its role in sustaining neoliberalism expansion. They are calling for more research on this relationship, which this study is concerned with. The aim of the present paper is to understand and identify mechanisms preventing a fair and even application of ecotourism principles. In order to do so, case studies issued from the literature review have been selected and a cross-case study search for pattern methodology has been conducted, helping to assess ecotourism development in different contexts and scales as to identify common obstacles to the achievement of positive outcomes. According to the results, patterns of ecotourism implementation are intertwined with neoliberal policies and practices and follow three main mechanisms: 1) extension of neoliberal governance to the detriment of local population self-determination, 2) modification of local culture towards market-driven logics and 3) increased neoliberalization of nature under the form of commodification. In turn, those mechanisms ensue the studied negative social, political and environmental effects. To reduce those, locals should be empowered towards the decision to enter ecotourism and the way to conduct it, excluding dependency on external actors to avoid neoliberal hegemony.

Published: June 2019

El sector del turismo ha jugado un papel importante en el desarrollo económico de México. El gobierno federal ha convertido al turismo en una prioridad debido al poder que tiene para mejorar las condiciones locales y generar empleos. A diferencia del turismo de sol y playa, se han señalado las posibilidades del turismo alternativo para mejorar las condiciones locales a través del empoderamiento local donde el turismo de naturaleza no ha logrado ser una estrategia totalmente exitosa para abordar los problemas de la pobreza y la marginación del medio rural, especialmente en términos de creación de empleos y generación de ingresos para las comunidades. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar los elementos que conforman e intervienen en el desarrollo de este sector e identificar las áreas de oportunidad. Se utilizaron métodos prospectivos para la creación de futuros posibles con las herramientas de Mic-Mac® y Smic Prob-Expert®. El análisis de escenarios permitió identificar las ilustraciones en el futuro con diferentes probabilidades de ocurrencia, entre las cuales se destacó un escenario pesimista, tendencial y optimista. Se seleccionó el escenario optimista y se estableció como línea base para la ejecución del futuro del turismo de naturaleza en la costa de Jalisco.
Los delitos de corrupción en el deporte en España, Portugal y Brasil. Similitudes y diferencias
Authors: Sánchez Bernal Javier
Published: June 2019

En las últimas décadas, fruto de la globalización, se ha superado la perspectiva de que los fenómenos de corrupción constituyen un problema local que afecta únicamente al sector público interno de los distintos Estados y es considerado, cada vez más, un problema transfronterizo. Esto ha intensificado el interés de distintas instancias supranacionales en la prevención y represión de los mismos. La evolución de las sociedades actuales ha evidenciado que los ilícitos de soborno pueden asentarse no sólo en el ámbito público, sino también en el privado y, concretamente, en la esfera deportiva, donde se ponen en juego un mayor número de intereses de relevancia económica. Este trabajo trata de comparar las soluciones aportadas por los ordenamientos jurídico-penales de España, Portugal y Brasil en la represión de comportamientos de corrupción en el deporte.
Ciudad, patrimonio e industria cultural: el polo cinematográfico de Santa Efigenia en cuestión
Authors: Franco Herta
Published: June 2019

El trabajo propuesto analiza la importancia del polo cinematográfico de Santa Efigenia, en São Paulo, como patrimonio cultural. Situado en los alrededores de las estaciones de ferrocarril de la Luz (1888-1900) y Sorocabana (1925-1938), el polo fue responsable de la producción de películas de diversos géneros entre los años 1960 y 1980, llegando a alcanzar cerca del 60% de la producción nacional. También conocido como “Cine de la Boca”, era realizado de modo “artesanal”, fuera de los grandes estudios, encontrando en la calle del Triunfo un espacio privilegiado para las relaciones de trabajo y de sociabilidad. Se trata de un bien cultural directamente ligado a la historia del cine brasileño, a la consolidación de la industria cultural de São Paulo entre los años 1910 y 1980, ejemplificando la estrecha relación de ésta con el transporte ferroviario a lo largo del siglo XX.

Authors: Martins Ricardo
Published: June 2019

Kfouri, J. (2017). Confesso que perdi: memórias. São Paulo: Companhia das Letras. ISBN: 8535929738.El libro Confesso que perdi: memórias traza un panorama de la carrera del periodista deportivo brasileño, desde sus primeros pasos en el periodismo en la década de 1970, pasando por su implicación en los movimientos de resistencia a la dictadura, hasta sus trabajos en la Red Globo de televisión y en la revista Placar. Kfouri analiza momentos históricos en el país – la dictadura, la Copa del Mundo de 1982, la trama de compra de resultados en el fútbol – así como contrasta la relación del deporte, especialmente el fútbol, con escándalos de corrupción en Brasil y en el mundo. Al exponer la participación de políticos, atletas, periodistas y personalidades en esos escándalos, Kfouri demuestra que no se omite ante situaciones que causaron – y causan – incomodidad y constreñimiento en el medio deportivo. A pesar del enfoque directo, el lenguaje de Kfouri es ligero, casi una charla, y eso vuelve la lectura, desde el punto de vista práctico, agradable, y desde el punto de vista histórico, indispensable.
De Cipriano Barata a Teófilo Ottoni: lenguajes políticos y léxico republicano en la prensa brasileña durante el Primer Reinado
Authors: Ferreira Da Silva Weder , Riccio Schiefler Felipe
Published: June 2019

En la primera década de la monarquía brasileña, el gobierno de Pedro I experimentó la oposición de sectores que estaban en contra de la opción monárquica como régimen político para Brasil. Esta oposición utilizaba la prensa como medio de propagación del ideario liberal y republicano. Ese fue el caso de los textos publicados en periódicos como Sentinela da Liberdade, editado por Cipriano Barata (1772- 1838) y Sentinela do Serro, editado por Teófilo Ottoni (1807- 1869). Al analizar estos textos a partir de las referencias de la llamada Historia de los Conceptos, procuraremos identificar en el material publicado entre la independência y los primeros años de regencia, los conceptos y narrativas políticas que derivaron del léxico republicano con el fin de comprender mejor el complejo escenario político que caracterizó al país en los años iniciales de la formación del Estado nacional.

Maintaining biodiversity is crucial for ensuring human well-being. We participated in a workshop held in Palenque, Mexico, in August 2018, that brought together thirty mostly early-career scientists working in different disciplines (natural, social and economic sciences) with the aim of identifying research priorities for studying the contributions of biodiversity to people and how these contributions might be impacted by environmental change. Five main groups of questions emerged: (1) Enhancing the quantity, quality, and availability of biodiversity data; (2) Integrating different knowledge systems; (3) Improved methods for integrating diverse data; (4) Fundamental questions in ecology and evolution; and (5) Multi-level governance across boundaries. We discuss the need for increased capacity building and investment in research programs to address these challenges.
Derecho al empleo de las personas con discapacidad: de objetos de protección social a sujetos de derechos
Authors: Torre Virginia
Published: June 2019

Las personas con discapacidad sufren a lo largo de sus vidas de discriminación que les lleva a estar limitados en el ejercicio pleno de sus derechos. El cambio que se ha producido desde la aprobación de la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad (CPCD, por sus siglas en inglés) ha generado la necesidad de que los Estados adapten sus normas mediante el establecimiento de acciones de inclusión concretas. Hoy en día, un alto porcentaje de la población mundial tiene una discapacidad, lo que denota la importancia de este debate para la sociedad Internacional.

Authors: BAGISOV N. B.
Published: June 2019

The present article studies the legal fundamentals of the organization and activity of internal affairs bodies aimed at ensuring environmental safety protection in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Despite the expressed increased attention of the scientific community to the environmental safety of the society and the state, currently there is a lack of studies dedicated to the complex analysis of legal protection of the environment, as well as the special analysis of the environmental protection activity of internal affairs bodies. The objective of this work is to reveal the peculiarities of functions of internal affairs bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan for environmental safety protection. Basing upon the analysis of the current legislation, the forms of independent activity and interaction of the police with other law enforcement agencies are distinguished in the field of implementation of the environmental safety protection function of the state. The article considers the procedural and institutional and prompt measures in the field of counteracting environmental crimes. The article studies the international experience of environmental safety protection by the police: the structure and legal consolidation of their activity; the mechanisms of implementation of the environmental function; the determination of their place and role in the environmental field. The authors draw a conclusionthat the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan does not clearly determine the environmental protection functions of internal affairs bodies; the legislative specification of the environmental safety protection activity of internal affairs bodies is estimated and the idea of the development of a special subdivision of the environmental police is supported.

Authors: BAKISHEV Kairat A.
Published: June 2019

The mechanism of a careless crime is different from the mechanism of an intentional crime. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that in careless crimes the severity of the harmful consequences is determined by the nature of the situation, the used instruments and the means of the crime whereas in an intentional crime this burden, as well as the situation and the instrument (means), depending on the will of the subject. Elements of the mechanism in the criminological doctrine are: (a) criminal personality; (b) the situation of a crime; (c) the instrument (means) of a crime. The mechanism also includes the motivation and victim of a crime. It is established that the imprudent criminal is characterized by motives that are not characteristic of the person who committed the crime intentionally. Each form of guilt is characterized by a certain group of motives, which requires establishment in each specific case. Measures to counteract careless crime should be developed taking into account the factor of the victim of the crime. Illegal behavior of the victim is often caused by his negative attitudes and habits. This indicates that the processes of criminalization and victimization are interrelated. The role and nature of interaction with each other are different and the significant predominance of one of them can be considered the main cause of the crime. On this basis the author offers his edition of the mechanism of a careless crime.

Thematic justification: In many regions of the world, scholars have renewed a discussion on the nature and properties of contracts as a legal phenomenon, leading to the emergence of so-called ‘non-classical theories of contract’: contract as a promise, relational contract, contract as a network etc.

This article’s aim is to compare non-classical approaches to contract and check the possibility of creating a modern holistic theory of contract. This article’s methodology is based on the functional method, the use of which provides a comparative perspective, meaning that each of the explored approaches to the theory of contract should be studied in the context of its causes and problems it solves.

The article systematizes problems solved by non-classical theories of contracts and concludes that the development of a new theory means the appearance of a new solution, not only for the problem for which it was designed but also for some others from the list. No theory solves all the problems of contract law. Numerous theories of the 20th and 21st centuries have shown the directions, in which it is necessary to carry out research and to seek approaches whose combinations and mutual critical evaluations will allow the formation of a met theory of contract law, the further development of which can lead to a dominant paradigm shift in response to the emergence of an integrative legal theory of contract viewed in a holistic manner as a multifaceted phenomenon.

This paper focuses on the problem of providing legal groundwork for the balance of traditional and alternative energy development in the context of the Republic of Kazakhstan’s shift to green energy. As it turns out, there is no comprehensive strategy for providing legal groundwork for the use of energy, both traditional and renewable. Today there are two major standpoints among both scientists and experts on the ground: for and against the renewable sources. Thus, the main task of lawyers is to develop an approach that makes both sides agree on the issue.

The paper performs an analysis of Kazakhstan’s legislation on energy development, energy preservation and the use of renewable energy sources, identifying its shortcomings and gaps. The attained results provide a basis for recommendations to create a legal regulatory framework for the development of traditional and alternative energy in the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as to improve environmental legislation in terms of environmental protection during construction, location and use of traditional and alternative energy facilities.
