Authors: Namawejje Hellen , Bruno Yawe L. , Wadada Robert , Antonites Alex , Ssekamatte David
Published: February 2023

Background: Lack of economic opportunities and good financial behaviour among women in rural areas are still far-reaching problems. Financial literacy performance has become more critical in supporting women empowerment especially in rural areas. Methodology: This study investigates how economic factors and financial behaviour influence financial literacy performance among rural women in Uganda: a case study of Luweero district. Using a multi-stage sampling strategy with a cross-sectional quantitative research design, a sample of 150 rural women subsistence farmers who are also operating small businesses was selected. Multiple linear regression models were used to predict on average the expected financial literacy performances among rural women. Results: Among the economic factors, on average women who were educated, own businesses and had ever received financial literacy training, and belonged to a village savings and loan association were expected to have financial literacy performance of 6.67 (pvalue=0.024,CI=0.89-12.45), 9.83 (p-value=0.031, CI=0.92-18.72), and 6.56 (p-value=0.05, CI= -0.01-13.13) more than those that were uneducated, had no business and had never received any form of financial literacy training, and belonged to no village savings and loan association respectively. Among the financial behaviour factors, on average women who were neither economical nor spending oriented, who had maintained minimal financial records, planned and implemented a regular savings programme were expected to have financial literacy performanceof 10.34 (p-value=0.037, CI=0.63-20.05),7.05(p-value=0.033, CI=0.57-13.53) and 13.04 (pvalue=0.000, CI=6.00-20.07) more than those who were very economical, never maintained any financial records, and did not plan and implement a regular savings programme respectively. Conclusions and recommendations: The findings demonstrate how economic and financial behaviour factors influence financial literacy performance among rural women in Uganda. Financial education; sensitization on the relevance of village savings and loan associations (VSLA); having a saving plan contribute to the economic and social empowerment of rural women.
THE POLITICS OF BRANDING PHOOLAN DEVI: A CONUNDRUM OF TERRORISM V/SJUSTICE
Authors: Ghosh Elina
Published: February 2023

The notion of ‘one man’s terrorist is other man’s freedom fighter’ is highly debated when it comes to branding a person as a terrorist in academia as well as in the legal field. In the absence of an internationally accepted definition of terrorism, the usage of the word “terrorism” and “resistance” is often misused and hence, branding of someone being a “terrorist” or “resister” becomes sloppy and incorrect. Phoolan Devi, the Bandit Queen, on one hand is seen to be a dauntless dacoit dressed in Khaki with a rifle on her shoulder who killed 22 Thakur men in broad day-light. And on the other hand, she emerges as ‘figure of resistance’ for the people of her community who stood up against the atrocities committed to them and killed their perpetrators. Now, is she a terrorist or a resistor? This research looks into the politics of these definitions and the politics of branding establishing the idea that defining/branding comes into play with a certain exercise of power indicating towards the politics of hierarchy. Therefore, definitions of ‘terrorism’ and ‘resistance’ are based on their contextual references and depend on who defines and with what motives and what agency.
TRENDS IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND EMISSIONS IN BRICS: ANALYZING THE DATA AND THE FACTORS AFFECTING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Authors: Oak Hena
Published: February 2023

There has been growing awareness about global warming and sustainable development, especially because of the dependence on non-renewable energy resources and its effect on emissions. This paper analyses the trends in energy consumption and CO2 emissions in BRICS nations for the period 2000-2020. Data shows that though there has been a rise in both energy consumption and emissions, the inter-country trends are quite different after population differences have been included. Therefore per capita trends are equally important because countries with large population need more energy resources to meet the growing needs of people. Analysis of trends in energy intensity and emission intensity shows both to be declining, thereby indicating a move towards greater energy efficiency. A panel data fixed effects model is used to estimate the effect of various factors on the energy and emission intensities. Results show that GCF has a negative relation with both intensities, while the effect of population is positive. Paris Agreement dummy variable shows that average intensities were lower after the implementation of the Paris Climate Accord.

Authors: Yulia  , Najmi Isthafan , Iskandar Irham
Published: February 2023

The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of incentives and compensation on employee performance of the education agency of Nagan Raya District. Work motivation is used as a mediating variable in the functional relationship between these variables. The research was conducted on all employees of the agency of 50 persons. Data collection used a questionnaire and then the data was analyzed using statistical tools for structural equation modeling (SEM) which was then operationalized through the Smart-PLS software. The research study pointed out that incentives and compensation have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Likewise, work motivation also significantly improves employee performance. The existence of work motivation as an intermediary variable mediates the effect of incentives and compensation on employee performance. The mediation effect is full mediation.
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MIND SET OF A SEX OFFENDER: A CRITICAL INSIGHT
Authors: SOFAT MANNAT
Published: February 2023

This paper attempts to understand the mindset of a rapist. It is one of the most heinous crimes, and its impact on the victim is extremely deep rooted and difficult to treat. There are several types of rapists who have different reasons for committing such crimes. Researchers have emphasised on remedial measures that could be adopted such that one can reduce the number of such incidents. There have been increasing numbers of research studies, in recent times, as all citizens are deeply concerned with increasing numbers of rapes that are occurring. The paper concludes with a serious attempt to recognise the symptoms of crime at an early age, which could be effectively treated in the hope that it would result in the reduction of such monstrous episodes.
THE UTILITY OF THE POST-MODERN DECONSTRUCTION PROCESS IN THE REALM OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
Authors: Joyson A J Denzel
Published: February 2023

This paper seeks to explore and challenge widely held notions surrounding the utility of postmodernist deconstruction within the realm of the social sciences. Beginning with a defence of the inclusion or rather by building a case for the inclusion of postmodernist modes of enquiry in the social sciences (specifically in this case; political science), this paper builds on the historical utility of the deconstruction process as well as mapping out its perceived utility in contemporary political theory as well as charting out its importance in the analysis of international relations and global affairs. Lastly, this paper also seeks to understand how the utilisation of Derridean deconstruction (often widely held to be the most important of all post-modernist modes of enquiry) in the creation of post-colonial and post-structuralist discourse possesses the potential to create bodies of knowledge that are not rooted in or wholly reliant on positivist logic or discourse, a characteristic that is inarguably important in the contemporary era.

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a discriminação salarial entre brancos e não brancos no Paraná a partir dos microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios de 2015.  As equações salariais estimadas mostram o maior retorno para os trabalhadores brancos no estado. A partir da decomposição salarial, confirma-se a existência da discriminação salarial contra os trabalhadores não brancos no Paraná, pois 34% do hiato salarial decorrem desse fator discriminante, apesar desses trabalhadores serem maioria no mercado de trabalho paranaense e nacional. No entanto, a discriminação salarial no estado Paraná é menor do que a encontrada para o país.

PRO BONO Legal Assistance in Penal Institutions
Authors: Баева Н.А. , Пальчикова Н.В.
Published: February 2023

В статье на основе ретроспективного анализа правового института юридической помощи делается вывод, что его развитие сопряжено с определенными этапами формирования уголовно-процессуального законодательства, в частности судебной реформы 1864 г., кодификацией уголовно-процессуального законодательства в 1920-х гг., конституционными положениями 1977 г. и 1993 г. В настоящее время содержательная сторона и формальная реализация норм о получении и оказании квалифицированной юридической помощи в большой степени определены нормами отраслевого законодательства (уголовно-процессуального и уголовно-исполнительного), которое не согласуется с нормами законодательства об адвокатуре и адвокатской деятельности.

Having conducted the retrospective analysis of legal assistance, the authors conclude that its development is associated with certain stages of the formation of criminal procedure legislation, in particular the 1864 judicial reform, the codification of criminal procedure legislation in the 1920s, and the constitutional provisions of 1977 and 1993. Currently, the substantive side and the formal implementation of the norms on obtaining and providing qualified legal assistance are largely determined by norms of the sectoral legislation (criminal procedure and penal), which is not consistent with the norms of legislation on advocacy and practice of law.

Crimes against Administrative Order: History and Current State
Authors: Кузнецов А.П.
Published: February 2023

В статье исследуется эволюция уголовного законодательства об ответственности за посягательство на порядок управления, выделяются этапы его становления и совершенствования с момента первых писаных дореволюционных юридических источников, показываются особенности их регламентации, обращается внимание на то, что законодатель выделял их в качестве приоритетных объектов уголовно-правовой охраны. Советский законодатель, исходя из непосредственного объекта посягательств, также включал преступления, причиняющие ущерб порядку управления, в кодифицированные нормативно-правовые акты (УК РСФСР 1922, 1926, 1960 гг.), что свидетельствовало об их повышенной общественной опасности. Современный законодатель в УК РФ выделил в отдельную главу указанную группу преступлений, посягающих на порядок управления, что свидетельствует о преемственности уголовно-правовых запретов с дореволюционным и советским законодательством. В статье дается общая юридическая характеристика исследуемых противоправных деяний, исходя из непосредственного объекта проводится научная классификация, приводятся статистические данные о зарегистрированных преступлениях.

The article examines the evolution of criminal legislation on liability for encroachment on the order of governance, highlights stages of its formation and improvement since the first written pre-revolutionary legal sources, shows the specifics of their regulation, and draws attention to the fact that the legislator has singled them out as priority objects of criminal legal protection. The Soviet legislator, proceeding from the direct object of encroachments, also included crimes that cause damage to the order of governance in codified normative legal acts (the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1922, 1926, 1960), which indicated their increased public danger. The modern legislator in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation singles out in a separate chapter the specified group of crimes against the normal functioning of government, which indicates the continuity of criminal law prohibitions with pre-revolutionary and Soviet legislation. The article presents a general legal description of the studied illegal acts on the basis of the direct object, a scientific classification, and statistical data on registered crimes.

В настоящей статье рассматриваются виды уголовных наказаний и особенности применения иных мер уголовно-правового характера в отношении женщин на основе законодательства стран, относящихся к романо-германской правовой семье, таких как Аргентина, Германия, Польша, Беларусь и др. Сравнительный анализ уголовного законодательства позволил выявить ряд общих черт и отличительных моментов в рассматриваемой области. Изучение проблемы дифференциации уголовной ответственности женщин представляет научный и практический интерес, поскольку на сегодняшний день вопросы уголовной ответственности и наказания женщин не находят своего самостоятельного закрепления. Проанализировано уголовное законодательство ряда стран романо-германской правовой семьи в сфере реализации уголовной ответственности женщин, выявлен положительный опыт, сформулированы предложения и рекомендации по совершенствованию действующего отечественного законодательства в части расширения практики применения к женщинам уголовных наказаний, не связанных с лишением свободы, новых видов мер уголовно-правового характера, а также института условного осуждения.

Law Enforcement Intelligence in Various Forms of Law Enforcement Intelligence Operations
Authors: Шаров В.И.
Published: February 2023

В статье рассматриваются направления совершенствования института оперативно-розыскных мероприятий. Первое из них связано с совершенствованием содержания системы оперативно-розыскных мероприятий, второе – с реформированием задач и форм (направлений) оперативно-розыскной деятельности. Автор подчеркивает необходимость терминологического уточнения названия отдельных мероприятий и их содержания, расширения системы ОРМ, усиления их системных свойств. Делается вывод, что ОРД может проводиться посредством оперативно-розыскных мероприятий, но в рамках определенных организационных форм, что сближает последние с условиями проведения оперативно-розыскных мероприятий. Тогда представляется обоснованным определить для каждой формы свою индивидуальную совокупность ОРМ и условий их проведения, что сделает правовое регулирование оперативно-розыскных мероприятий более точным.

The article discusses directions for improving the law enforcement intelligence institute. The first of them is connected with the improvement of the content of the law enforcement intelligence system, the second – with reforming tasks and forms (directions) of law enforcement intelligence operations. The author emphasizes the need for terminological clarification of the names of individual measures and their content, expansion of the law enforcement intelligence system, and strengthening their system properties. It is concluded that law enforcement intelligence operations can be carried out through law enforcement intelligence, but within certain organizational forms, which brings the latter closer to the conditions of law enforcement intelligence. Thus, it seems reasonable to determine an individual set of measures and conditions for their implementation for each form, which will make the legal regulation of law enforcement intelligence more accurate

Role of MRI modalities in assessment of cystic brain Lesions: a prospective study
Authors: Beniamin M.M. , Elhefnawy S.B. , Abdelsamad A.M. , Hassan H.G.
Published: February 2023

Background. Intracranial cystic lesions are unnatural cavities in which the continuity of the brain parenchyma is disrupted because of different pathologies such as infections and tumors containing proteinaceous fluid and/or cellular/necrotic materials.

Purpose – to investigate the value of some MRI modalities, mostly DWI and MR spectroscopy, in differentiation of the common intracranial intra-axial cystic brain lesions to help these patients benefit from the best medical management and treatment.

Materials and Methods. This is a prospective study, conducted from April 2019 till April 2021. It involved forty adult patients of both sexes with a cystic/necrotic intra-axial brain lesion with variable perifocal edema and rim enhancement on post-contrast study at MRI unit, radiology department, Ain Shams University (ASU) Hospital. All examinations were carried out after signing of the informed consent by the patients themselves or their guardian if the patient was incapacitated by any means.

Results. The ADC values in the center of lesions were not uniform. We found the lowest ADC value in the center of the lesion at the abscess 0.4x10–3 mm2 /s, and the highest ADC value 3.2x10–3 mm2 /s was in cystic neoplastic lesion. There was a significant difference in the ADC values in the center of neoplastic necrotic lesions; mean ADC value was (1.95±1.08) x10–3 mm2 /s and (1.15±0.65) x10–3 mm2 /s in abscess lesions, with a cut-off value, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy value of: 1.55%, 92.9%, 91.7%, 96.3%, 84.6% and 92.5% respectively. MRS was performed in 40 cases, and the Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA and NAA/Cr mean ratios were calculated. These ratios were compared between the different categories. Statistically significant differences were found in the Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA ratios between both groups (p values<0.001**), while no statistically significant difference was found in the NAA/Cr ratio.

Conclusion. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are useful as additional diagnostic modalities for differentiating brain abscesses from cystic or necrotic brain tumors. Furthermore, the following MR techniques may be helpful for discriminating brain abscess from cystic or necrotic tumors: diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), perfusion weighted imaging as well as positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT). This will help to improve the accuracy of MR in differentiating brain abscess from cystic or necrotic tumors.

O objetivo desse estudo foi de estabelecer uma reflexão teórica, acerca do valor de um programa de capacidades físicas e habilidades cognitivas e motoras inerentes a prática do Jiu-Jítsu brasileiro voltada para pré-adolescentes autista, com idade entre 09 a 12 anos que expressam corporalmente a dificuldade em estabelecer a relação intrapessoal. Isso foi pautado na lacuna que existe na prática de atividades físicas, principalmente, na prática de lutas por pessoas acometidas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). Embora existam alguns trabalhos que circundam este tema, ainda são poucos para a complexidade e esgotamento do assunto, além disso, sobre a temática do Jiu-Jítsu brasileiro para pessoas com TEA pouco se conhece. Então, o presente trabalho de opinião dos autores busca oferecer uma nova perspectiva no âmbito da educação física para pessoas acometidas com TEA, através das atividades de artes marciais, tendo por base o Jiu-Jítsu brasileiro, para tal fim, buscou-se basear as condutas de outras pesquisas com artes marciais e indivíduos com TEA, sempre relacionando com as principais carências identificadas nas pesquisas levantadas que se propõem investigar o TEA como de causa oriunda em uma disfunção da função executiva ou da amígdala. Diante disso, existe a expectativa de ser possível preencher as carências características de pessoas com TEA por meio das atividades do Jiu-Jítsu brasileiro.

O desenvolvimento da economia e o crescimento do poder aquisitivo de uma parcela da população brasileira abriu um cenário de grande competição no mercado. Com os grandes eventos desportivos, maior diversificação de produtos e serviços, a concorrência externa e a maior consciência do consumidor, o setor desportivo precisa estar cada vez mais alinhado com os requisitos da qualidade. Ser economicamente viável, ambientalmente correta e socialmente justa é a proposta para as Organizações Desportivas se integrarem ao modelo de desenvolvimento sustentável. Gestão da qualidade é um conceito muito utilizado no meio industrial e ganha espaço no segmento do desporto como uma questão intemporal, parte dos valores do ser humano desde a família. Torna-se tema essencial no ambiente da gestão do desporto onde fidelizar e conquistar novos mercados é questão crucial para o sucesso das organizações. Conhecer se a busca pela excelência em organizações desportivas tem como consequência a criação de valor na sua base de ativos (patrocinadores, governo, federações desportivas, sócios e famílias) é a proposta deste trabalho. A construção de valor da marca através da gestão da qualidade em seus processos possui como reconhecida ferramenta a norma internacional de qualidade ISO 9001. Analisar a gestão da qualidade no Clube Naval de Cascais através da norma brasileira da série ISO (NBR ISO 9001:2008) é o objetivo deste estudo de caso, saber qual a situação atual. O método utilizado foi de entrevista semiestruturada com a representante da direção do Clube, seguida de visita às instalações. Conclui-se que na ausência de Sistema de Gestão implementado ou certificado, a opção estratégica pela gestão da qualidade no Clube Naval de Cascais é presente e atraiu novos parceiros comerciais, abriu o mercado global e trouxe importantes parcerias com o governo local. Com base nesta análise é apresentado, em lista de verificação da norma, um modelo de Relatório de Auditoria Interna capaz de auxiliar o processo de introdução do Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade (SGQ) através do autodiagnóstico e da análise da concorrência.
