About the stratigraphic correlation of events in Holocene geoarchaeology
Authors: Hristova Raina , Peev Preslav
Published: December 2023

Many researchers work in the field of the newly emerging discipline – marine geoarchaeology during the Holocene. One of the most current scientific studies, which combined the efforts of archaeologists and geologists, are the interdisciplinary ones, the purpose of which is to make a palaeogeographical reconstruction of the natural environment in the period from Prehistory to the Late Antiquity. Based on a broad methodological basis, geological, geomorphological, biostratigraphic, archaeological and historical data are simultaneously interpreted. This type of modern geoarchaeological research proves the need for an increasingly detailed correlation between the stratigraphic schemes on the one hand, which are both event and palaeoecological in nature, and the archaeological scales on the other hand.

‘Pou maumahara’, ‘the memory place’: Remembrance and material cultures of colonial conflict at the Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira
Authors:   University of Auckland Waipapa Taumata Rau, Light Rowan
Published: December 2023

This article explores how material objects reveal patterns of remembrance in the public histories of the nineteenth-century New Zealand Wars fought between British regiments and colonial forces and Māori hapū and iwi (tribal groups). It is based on collections research conducted at the Auckland War Memorial Museum which conceptualises a new gallery displaying stories and objects relating to the wars. Bringing together museology and historiography, the article argues that an engagement with the material culture of the New Zealand Wars and public lexicons of memory in a museum context offer opportunities to move beyond national narratives. Just as these colonial conflicts reconfigured the materiality of violence and collective belonging, so too do museum-based objects activate the presentation of these histories in light of new public needs since 2017.

Authors: ,Dr. Zareen Atta Memon Nazia Dharejo, Dr. Mehtab Begum Siddiqui
Published: December 2023

This study looks at the circumstances, difficulties, and rights of undocumented workers in Pakistan's Sindh Province. It distinguishes them from more seasoned informal workers who frequently provide services and interact with customers. The study found a number of illicit activities that take place in the area, including beggars, illegal bird sellers, animal fights, fake exorcists and palmists, gamblers, thieves, and smugglers. The study combines secondary data gained through literature reviews, reports, and academic publications with primary data collected through direct observation. Legal undocumented workers in Sindh Province face a variety of challenges, such as low income, unstable employment, and limited access to social protections. Legally employed informal laborers may face significant difficulties and maltreatment even if they operate within the confines of the law. Contrarily, unauthorized and undocumented employees abuse society and engage in illicit activity. The analysis makes it clear that successful policies and initiatives are needed to address the challenges faced by legal informal workers. The informal economy should be formalized, social protection should be provided, and working conditions should be improved as the main goals of these initiatives. The Pakistani government must take the necessary action to protect the rights of undocumented employees and enhance their social and economic prosperity

Authors: Brig. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Amin SI (M), Dr. Tehreem Farrukh
Published: December 2023

Environmental degradation and unsustainable development pose significant challenges to Pakistan in the present day. The country has implemented environmental laws with the aim of preserving nature and promoting sustainable development. However, the effective implementation of these laws remains a considerable challenge. This research article aims to explore the obstacles faced in preserving nature and achieving sustainable development within the framework of Pakistan's environmental laws. To conduct this study, a qualitative research approach is employed. The research involves a comprehensive review of relevant literature, policies, and legal frameworks. By analyzing these sources, the article identifies the key challenges and provides recommendations for improvement. The findings of the research indicate that several factors contribute to the inadequate implementation of environmental laws in Pakistan. One of the primary challenges is the lack of political will to enforce these laws effectively. Insufficient allocation of resources towards environmental protection further exacerbates the problem. Additionally, the enforcement mechanisms in place often fall short, leading to poor compliance and limited accountability. The research emphasizes the need for strengthening environmental governance in Pakistan.

Στα μυθιστορήματα του Σωτήρη Δημητρίου Ν’ ακούω το όνομά σου και Τους τα λέει ο Θεός, αναδύονται οι παραδοσιακές ελληνικές κοινότητες στην Ήπειρο και τη Νότια Αλβανία και οι χαρακτήρες κινούνται αδιάκοπα, ορίζοντας μέσω των τοπωνυμίων μια γεωγραφία κρατών, πόλεων και χωριών, η οποία ταυτίζεται με την αφήγηση. Στη συλλογή διηγημάτων του Χριστόφορου Μηλιώνη Καλαμάς και Αχέροντας, οι διαδρομές των ηρώων στη μεθόριο γραμμή αποτελούν την επικοινωνία μεταξύ των γειτονικών πληθυσμών, παρακάμπτοντας τον χωρισμό των συνόρων. Η θάλασσα, τα ποτάμια, τα βουνά αποτελούν βασικές συνιστώσες της μεταμοντέρνας αφήγησης, ως πεδίο αναμνήσεων και νοσταλγίας, ως άξονας ιδεολογικών και πολιτικών στάσεων και ως ερμηνεία της πραγματικότητας.

Sotiris Demetriou’s novels May Your Name Be Blessed and God tells them focus on traditional Greek communities in Epirus and Southern Albania. Characters move constantly, defining geography, based on local names of towns and villages. Narration develops in geographical terms. The characters’ routes along the Greek-Albanian borders in Christoforos Milionis’ collection of short stories Kalamas and Acherontas constitute a form of communication between neighbouring populations, despite the marked border. Sea, river, and mountain images comprise basic parameters of post-modernist narration. They form a vehicle of memory and nostalgia, a presentation of ideological and political attitudes. What’s more they function as an essential interpretation of reality.

Remediation of Pollutants using Ultrasound Induced Cavitation: “Nanostars in a Jar”
Authors: Lee Judy
Published: December 2023

Wastewater treatment is becoming a worldwide concern due to new and tighter environmental regulations, and the increasing need for fresh water for the exponentially growing population. Major contributing factors are the increase in the presence of emerging contaminants (EC) such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, microplastics and industrial chemicals, and the ineffective removal of these ECs by existing wastewater treatment processes. Alternative methods such as ultrasound is been investigated as an advanced oxidation process to enhance degradation of ECs. Irradiation of ultrasound in solution can generate acoustic cavitation that leads to the creation of reactive free radicals and conditions to facilitate applications such as degradation of pollutants, synthesis of polymers as well as nanomaterials such as metal colloids, metal nano-composites and hollow shelled micro/nano-spheres. These ultrasonic effects stem from the creation of cavitation bubbles as the sound waves propagate through a liquid medium. Liken to “a star in a jar”, these cavitation bubbles can emit light (sonoluminescence) and undergo violent collapses to generate extreme temperatures (> 5000 k), pressures (> 1000 atm) and jet velocities (up to 120 m/s has been reported). It is these remarkable conditions which create the unusual physical and chemical effects that we observe. However, to capitalise on these effects, one needs to understand the mechanisms behind the physical and chemical conditions created, and the importance of solution and sonication conditions used. This presentation will provide fundamental background on the mechanism behind ultrasound enhanced degradation, importance of solution and sonication conditions, and some case studies on the application of ultrasound in degradation of emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals.

Authors: Yang Pengliang
Published: December 2023

I contribute an open source software - SMIwiz, which integrates seismic modelling, reverse time migration (RTM), and full waveform inversion (FWI) into a uniﬁed computer implementation. SMIwiz has the machinery to do both 2D and 3D simulation in a consistent manner. The package features a number of computational recipes for eﬃcient calculation of imaging condition and inversion gradient: a dynamic evolving computing box to limit the simulation cube and a well-designed waveﬁeld reconstruction strategy to reduce the memory consumption when dealing with 3D problems. The modelling in SMIwiz runs independently: each shot corresponds to one processor in a bijective manner to maximize the scalability. A batchwise job scheduling strategy is designed to handle large 3D imaging tasks on computer with limited number of cores. The viability
of SMIwiz is demonstrated by a number of applications on benchmark models.

It works with young offenders aged 14–18, their families, communities and the justice system to reduce offending and antisocial behaviours; increase engagement in education and employment; and increase engagement in structured, prosocial activities such as sport and volunteering. The program includes intensive case management, peer mentoring and a wilderness camp. The Australian Institute of Criminology was commissioned by the South Australia Attorney-General’s Department to conduct a process and outcome evaluation of the ReBoot Intensive Intervention Trial. This report describes the findings of the process and outcome evaluations. The evaluations used semi-structured interviews to obtain the views of 50 stakeholders involved in the delivery and management of the ReBoot program, 14 young people who engaged in the trial program and seven of their parents/carers. This qualitative information was supplemented by the analysis of administrative and assessment data collected by ReBoot service providers. Together, these data provide an important insight into the delivery and impact of the ReBoot program. Overall, the process evaluation findings show that the ReBoot program was largely implemented as intended, fills an important gap in service provision for young offenders in South Australia, and provides a useful option in sentencing and family conference outcomes.
Australasian Consumer Fraud Taskforce: Results of the 2014 online consumer fraud survey
Authors: Jorna Penny
Published: December 2023

The Australasian Consumer Fraud Taskforce (ACFT) is a group of 22 government regulatory agencies and departments in Australia and New Zealand. It works with private sector, community and non-government partners to prevent fraud. The ACFT has run a range of fraud prevention and awareness-raising activities since 2005. One of its key initiatives is to run an annual consumer fraud survey to take a snapshot of the public’s exposure to consumer fraud and fraudulent invitations, to assess their impact, determine how victims respond, and identify emerging typologies and issues. The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC), as a taskforce member and chair of its research subgroup, hosts the survey on behalf of the ACFT. It should be noted that the survey participants were not randomly sampled and so survey findings are not representative of the general population. This report presents the results of the 2014 survey, which ran for six months from 1 January 2014. This period encompassed National Fraud Prevention week, which coincides with global fraud awareness-raising activities. The theme of the 2014 campaign was Know who you’re dealing with, and it was aimed at raising awareness about relationship scams by asking people to think twice before transferring money to people they did not know personally.
The methamphetamine market: Police detainee perspectives
Authors: Ticehurst Andrew , Sullivan Tom
Published: December 2023

The data in this report were collected as part of the Australian Institute of Criminology’s Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) program, which is a quarterly collection of criminal justice and drug use information from police detainees at multiple sites across Australia. From January 2015 to December 2016, 4,400 adult police detainees were interviewed in Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Sydney (Bankstown and Surry Hills), most of them male (83%; n=3,647). On average, recent users reported methamphetamine consumption 14 days out of the last 30 days before detention and rated the availability of methamphetamine on average at nine out of 10, while quality was given a rating of seven out of 10. A majority of recent users reported that the price of methamphetamine had not changed compared to the three months prior to interview, with a current price of approximately $50 per point.
Police detainee predictions on future Australian illicit drug market influences
Authors: Fuller Georgina , Goldsmid Susan
Published: December 2023

Forecasting the nature and form that the Australian illicit drug market will take by the start of 2018 based on the opinions of police detainees - who engage with illicit drug markets as users and suppliers - provides a unique perspective on likely market fluctuations and influences. Police detainees predicted that by the start of 2018 the most likely changes and greatest impacts will occur within the cannabis and methamphetamine markets, with the heroin market remaining relatively stable. Improvements in cultivation technology and the emergence of new cannabis strains were predicted to impact the cannabis market. An increase in the number of injecting methamphetamine users was predicted to have high impact on the methamphetamine market in terms of health and crime costs to the user and community. Predicting market influences supports government, law enforcement and health sectors to proactively develop strategies to address future challenges in the Australian illicit drug market.

Illicit drug use costs Australia billions of dollars every year in lost productivity and healthcare and crime costs. This paper examines the demographics of methamphetamine users and their employment, education and health outcomes using data from the National Drug Strategy Household Survey, the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia program, the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services data collection and the National Prisoner Health Data Collection. Across all data sources, methamphetamine users reported worse employment, education, housing and health outcomes than those who used other illicit drugs and those who did not use drugs. In the general population, this effect was more pronounced for crystal methamphetamine users than for users of other forms of methamphetamines.
PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
OF CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF WORKS OR THE PROVISION
OF SERVICES THAT DO NOT MEET SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Authors: SHCHARBAK K.
Published: December 2023

In the article, the author focuses on the study of the current problem of expanding the market of services provided
and work performed and their compliance with safety requirements for the life and health of the population. One of the
ways to combat such violations is the regulation of criminal liability issues in the norms of the current criminal legislation.
The author examines the problematic issues of the application of the criminal law norm provided for in art. 338 of the
Criminal Code, regarding the interpretation of the signs of the objective side, the establishment of non-compliance of the
services provided and the work performed with safety requirements. The analysis of existing approaches to the application
of the criminal law norm in question in scientific doctrine, as well as judicial practice, is carried out, on the basis of
which certain recommendations are made on the application of the criminal law norm in order to ensure a uniform
approach in law enforcement.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POWER TO USE STATE PROPERTY
Authors: BORISYONOK O.
Published: December 2023

Despite the fact that the existence of ownership rights of several persons to one object occurs only in states with the

Anglo-Saxon legal system, in the scientific works of both Belarusian scientists and Russian colleagues there are discussions

about the possibility of splitting both the property right itself and those included in it powers in national legal systems related

to the continental system of law, in particular Belarusian and Russian. This legal phenomenon can most clearly be analyzed

using the example of implementation of state property rights. In this article, using the concept of splitting the powers of property

rights, the forms of implementation by the state owner of the right to use in relation to real estate objects owned by it are

analyzed, and also the entities that have elements of the right to use in relation to state real estate are identified.

The economic repercussions of ISO 14001 environmental certification
Authors:   Universidad de Zaragoza, Cañón de Francia Joaquín , Garcés Ayerbe Concepción ,   Universidad de Zaragoza
Published: December 2023

This study is an empirical contrast on the effect that the announcement of the gaining of ISO 14001 certification by a firm has on its market value. The analysis is based on a sample of 80 observations of environmental quality certification of the shop-floor systems or processes of large Spanish companies listed on the continuous trading market of the Madrid Stock Exchange in the period from 1996-2002. Results were obtained by use of Event Study methodology and they showed that ISO 14001 certification does not represent a sufficiently clear sign of environmental proactivity to generate expectations of long-term efficiency and profits in the capital market.
The behaviour of enterprises in relation to managers continuous training

The present paper aims at analysing firms' behaviour of managerial training from the viewpoint of information economics. Asymmetric information between organizations and their management may lead to moral hazard and adverse selection. The theoretical literature allows proposing an explicative model that considers the expectations of generating managerial capacities, the expectations of appropriating the benefits of these capacities, the strategic value of managers for firms and finally, the firms' perception of the efforts that investing in managerial training entail. The above-mentioned model analyses variables' influences from a cost-benefit oriented viewpoint by systemizing them in order to the degree of proclivity that firms show. In this way, it aims at explaining the existing contradiction between firms' discourse in favour of firms-provided training and the real behaviour that they usually adopt in fact.
