ЕКОНОМІЧНО-ПРАВОВІ ВІДНОСИНИ МІЖ АВТОРОМ І РОБОТОДАВЦЕМ АБО ЗАМОВНИКОМ
Authors: Лі Артур Костянтинович
Published: May 2021

Розглянуто проблему формування інститутів привласнення інтелектуальної власності, що створена на умовах виконання службових (трудових) обов’язків або на замовлення, яка існує до сьогодні через неузгодженість чинного законодавства України з Конституцією України та з нормами міжнародних договорів, згоду на обов’язковість яких надана Верховною Радою України. Необхідність розв'язання суперечностей норм і правил взаємодії творців із замовниками інтелектуальної продукції назріла давно, але, на жаль, її вирішення було заблоковано як неформальними нормами і правилами поведінки, що були отримані суспільством у спадок від радянського змісту авторських правовідносин в УРСР, так і нормами національного законодавства. У зв‘язку із зазначеними протиріччями в Україні вибудовувались правовідносини, коли нормативні акти, якими регулюються ці правовідносини, отримали статус «рекомендацій», а не обов’язкових для виконання правових норм. Завдяки цій невідповідності економіка держави з кожним роком стрімко втрачає свій науково-творчий потенціал й інтелектуальну складову. Збалансування правовідносин соціальної економіки та теорії власності дозволить реалізувати інституціональні принципи належного розподілу інтелектуальної власності, що є необхідною умовою розвитку всієї української економіки. Метою статті є виявлення європейської економічної конструкції правовідносин творців-працівників та роботодавців через призму норм національних законів, інших нормативних актів та норм міжнародних договорів, згода на обов'язковість яких надана Верховною Радою України, які є частиною національного законодавства України.

Published: May 2021

The order of documentation of operations on receipt of fuels and lubricants to the enterprise as a result of their acquisition through stationary points on production sites and through third-party gas stations with various forms of calculations is defined. It is found that companies receive fuel and lubricants on the basis of agreements concluded with gas stations, which indicate the brand, type of fuel, its price, the moment of transfer of ownership, method of receipt, place of receipt of fuel. It is established that the implementation and reflection in the accounting of the purchase of fuels and lubricants is influenced by the method of refueling – through gas stations or stationary points at the production sites of the enterprise. Documenting the refueling of motor vehicles through stationary points at the production sites of the enterprise is similar to the registration of the movement of inventories. Documenting the refueling of motor vehicles through gas stations depends on the type of payment (cash or non-cash) and their form (information, coupons, fuel cards). It is reported when purchasing fuel and lubricants by cashless payment without the use of coupons for the release of fuel at the gas station. The peculiarity of the release of fuel on coupons is the restriction of their validity for a certain period. It is established that the modern means of payment for purchased fuel are liter and cash fuel cards, as well as bank payment cards. The authors developed document flow schemes for operations on the receipt of fuel and lubricants when refueling vehicles through stationary points at the production sites of the enterprise and through third-party gas stations in the case of information, coupons, fuel cash and liter cards can be used to improve the accounting of fuel and lubricants at the enterprise.

Background

In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

Aim

Our objective was to identify risk factors predictive of severe disease and death in France.

Methods

In this prospective cohort study, we included patients ≥ 18 years old with confirmed COVID-19, hospitalised in Strasbourg and Mulhouse hospitals (France), in March 2020. We respectively compared patients who developed severe disease (admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) or death) and patients who died, to those who did not, by day 7 after hospitalisation.

Results

Among 1,045 patients, 424 (41%) had severe disease, including 335 (32%) who were admitted to ICU, and 115 (11%) who died. Mean age was 66 years (range: 20–100), and 612 (59%) were men. Almost 75% of patients with body mass index (BMI) data (n = 897) had a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (n = 661). Independent risk factors associated with severe disease were advanced age (odds ratio (OR): 1.1 per 10-year increase; 95% CrI (credible interval): 1.0–1.2), male sex (OR: 2.1; 95% CrI: 1.5–2.8), BMI of 25–29.9 kg/m2 (OR: 1.8; 95% CrI: 1.2–2.7) or ≥ 30 (OR: 2.2; 95% CrI: 1.5–3.3), dyspnoea (OR: 2.5; 95% CrI: 1.8–3.4) and inflammatory parameters (elevated C-reactive protein and neutrophil count, low lymphocyte count). Risk factors associated with death were advanced age (OR: 2.7 per 10-year increase; 95% CrI: 2.1–3.4), male sex (OR: 1.7; 95% CrI: 1.1–2.7), immunosuppression (OR: 3.8; 95% CrI: 1.6–7.7), diabetes (OR: 1.7; 95% CrI: 1.0–2.7), chronic kidney disease (OR: 2.3; 95% CrI: 1.3–3.9), dyspnoea (OR: 2.1; 95% CrI: 1.2–3.4) and inflammatory parameters.

Conclusions

Overweightedness, obesity, advanced age, male sex, comorbidities, dyspnoea and inflammation are risk factors for severe COVID-19 or death in hospitalised patients. Identifying these features among patients in routine clinical practice might improve COVID-19 management.

Published: May 2021

PT. PAN BROTHER is a multinational company that produces textiles headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia. This company was founded in 1969. This company produces various kinds of clothing. Currently, PT. PAN BOTEHR, especially the branch in Boyolali, namely PT. Prima Sejati Sejahtera has conducted attendance by using a finger print machine and a computerized scanner. Employees who wish to take annual leave, maternity leave, official permits, and sick leave are already using a web-based system, by means of employees inputting attendance on a computer provided by the company. However, there are still employees who lack knowledge of science and technology and are still an obstacle to implementing the web-based system. This system can actually be accessed using a smart phone, so that employees do not need to ask attendance staff for help when inputting leave. And to recap the attendance report of HRD employees must also look for employee leave documents that are still in paper files, so that this can slow down the withdrawal of reports on a monthly basis. With this problem, the Company made an innovation by creating an online-based web application for inputting employee leave and the author also conducted research on the application of this web-based system using literature study and field studies in field objects. It is hoped that with this research, the system can be used by all employees to be more effective in inputting absences due to leave and can help alleviate the performance of HRD staff to be more flexible and efficient and reduce absenteeism reporting errors due to employee leave.

Abstract - The era of industrial revolution 4.0, the progress of companies to achieve their vision and mission goals, is largely determined by the role of information technology, especially banking companies such as BPR PMM, the problem is that BPR PPM has not fully realized the importance of managing a business change, in order to maintain the company's existence. To determine the maturity level of the application of information technology in a company, it is necessary to conduct a thorough evaluation. In this study, there are seventeen processes in Cobit 4.1 that are solved on an internal balanced scorecard perspective. Cobit is a framework that is very well used in measuring the effectiveness of the application of information technology, while the balanced scorecard (BSC) is a framework that is very suitable to be applied to measure or assess the performance of a company. The combination of the two frameworks can provide a clear picture of internal perspectives that can be used by company leaders in improving information technology governance. This study resulted in a conclusion that the company maturity level in terms of business change management based on Cobit 4.1 and the internal balanced scorecard perspective has an average value of 2.90 at level 3 with defined categories.

Authors: DAĞLI Bayram
Published: May 2021

Kültürün somut öğelerinin başında gelen sanat eserlerini ortaya koyan sanatçı, profesyonellik gerektiren ve ömür boyu devam eden bir meslek alanının üreticisidir. Sanatçı eserini üretirken; düşüncesi, duyguları, düş gücü sonucu ortaya
çıkan imgelerini, bireysel ve yaratıcı becerisini kullanarak ortaya koymaktadır. Bunun yanında sanatçı, tüm hayatını adadığı mesleğinden de para kazanıp geçinmek zorundadır. Günümüzde sanatçılar görüntülü ve yazılı medya ortamlarının
artması ile kendi üretimlerini pazarlayabilme imkânına sahip olsalar da bu yeterli değildir ve bu pazarlamayı onun yerine yapacak olan bir takım aracı kurumların olması gerekmektedir. Bu aracı kurumların başında sanat galerileri
gelmektedir. Galeri; sanatçısının tanıtımını yapan, eserlerini düzenli olarak sergileyen, sınırlı müşteriye sahip, sanatın destekleyicisi ve toplumun görsel hafızasının da taşıyıcılığını üstlenen hassas işletmelerdir. Galeriler
çeşitli yollarla sanatçısının reklamını yaparak tanınırlığını arttırmakta ve onun eserlerini satın alabilecek gönüllü müşteri portföyü oluşturmaktadır. Bunun içinde işletme ve iktisat alanındaki birçok pazarlama yöntemini ustaca
kullanarak hem kendisinin hem de sanatçısının ayakta durmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu araştırmada; sanatçı ve sanat eserlerinin tanıtılmasına, sunulmasına ve pazarlamasına aracılık eden sanat galerilerinin tanıtım ve satış uygulamalarının
ortaya konulması amaç olarak belirlenmiştir. Sanat galerilerinin; sanatçının ve sanat eserlerinin sanat piyasasına girmesinde diğer tüm pazarlama stratejilerine oranla daha önemli ve sürdürülebilir roller üstlendiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Authors: GÜZEL Meltem
Published: May 2021

The developments in communication technologies and the internet reveal new communication areas. The use of internet has increased exponentially since the 1990s due to the increasing number of websites and number of users. In parallel
with the developments in web technologies, new media and social media concepts come to the fore in the 2000s. Unlike traditional media, new media provides its users with the opportunity to create and intervene with its content.
With the new media, the audience, listener and reader move from their passive position to an active position and are now classified as users. These users can create their own profiles over these networks and share content there.
These developments in media technologies bring along many discussions. While some of the researchers involved in this discussion focus on the positive aspects of these new technologies, others mention the problems they cause or
could cause. In this study, the positive and negative aspects of individual use of new media technologies are explained in the light of the views of Henry Jenkins and Christian Fuchs.
Anti-inflammatory Effects of Naïve Stem Cells Dampen Systemic/Compartmental Overreactive Immune Responses
Authors: ECh Wolters , K de Hoo , Kramer BW Kramer x , JPJM de Munter
Published: May 2021

A cytokine release syndrome (CRS), associated with elevated circulating levels of several cytokines including interleukin (IL)-6 and interferon (IFN)-γ, might be seen in some infectious insults, for instance in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) induced by Coronavirus (Cov)-2, as well as following administration of natural and bispecific antibodies and, more recently, following adoptive T-cell therapies for cancer. Normally, inflammatory conditions activate the innate and adaptive immune systems, which results in the release of cytokines, responsible for the phagocytosis of apoptotic vesicles and resolution of inflammation. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and, especially in chronic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, cancer and cytokine storms, IL-6 play crucial roles in inflammation. In some instances, however, this release gets out of hand, and features of overzealous immune responses (macrophage activation syndromes) might occur, leading to cytokine release syndromes (CRS) with inflammatory signs such as fever, fatigue, nausea, and sometimes secondary organ dysfunction or multi-organ failure. Apart from specific vaccines and maybe the anti-viral remdesivir and/or dexamethasone for treatment of CRS, there are no convincing disease-modifying interventions. So far, though, non-antiviral and immune-targeted interventions, also affecting non-target cells, were found associated with many side effects. A more targeted or focused approach is thus needed. Pending the site of the CRS-inducing insult, CRSs may occur systemic or compartmental. Recently, preclinical research yielded a beneficial anti-inflammatory effect of fresh naive bone marrow-derived stem cells (bm-SCs) in the treatment of various compartmental CRSs in the immune-privileged central nervous system (CNS). Therefore, it is argued that bm-SCs might also play a disease-modifying role in the systemic CRS. Bm-SCs have the advantage of targeting only the cells of interest as they are very selective in their actions. In addition, they actively move to the sight of inflammation.

Authors: Sihombing Victor H , S Abd Hakim
Published: May 2021

This study aims to characterize phosphate buffer and urease enzymes through the absorbance spectrum of UV-Vis and FTIR using tungsten as the indicator electrode. The method used in this research is the biosensor potentiometric method carried out in the Laboratory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, State University of Medan and the Beacukai Belawan Medan laboratory. The absorbance characterization of electrolyte solutions in various compositions using UV-Vis showed that phosphate buffer solution 0.001 M pH 7.5+KCl 0.001 M + urea 0.001 M+3 drops urease enzyme had the highest absorbance compared to electrolyte solutions with phosphate buffer and urea content. Likewise, the FTIR results showed the same thing where phosphate buffer solution was 0.001 M pH 7.5 + KCl 0.001 M + urea 0.001 M + 3 drops urease enzyme had the highest% T (transmission) pattern of phosphate buffer solution and urea. The urease enzyme in this study functions as a catalyst. Based on UV-Vis and FTIR characterization, it was concluded that the phosphate buffer solution of 0.001 M pH 7.5+KCl 0.001 M + urea 0.001 M + 3 drops of urease enzyme was the best.
No Verbo que se fez carne, o Evangelho se faz cultura

Com a encarnação, o Verbo de Deus assumiu, no interior de um determinado povo, as condições históricas e sócio-culturais da humanidade. A analogia entre encarnação e presença cristã no contexto sócio-cultural e histórico dos povos - a Lumen gentium (n° 8) fala de “uma não medíocre analogia” - fez emergir na reflexão teológico-pastoral o paradigma da inculturação (SD 30, 243). Em analogia com a encarnação, inculturação significa assumir um determinado lugar geográfico de um povo, sua história e cultura como mediações para o anúncio do Reino...

Authors: YILMAZ Ayşegül , DUYGULU Sergül
Published: May 2021

Aims: This study aimed to examine the development of the perceptions of the psychological empowerment and patient safety culture among Turkish nurses by implementing a training-based empowerment program for unit charge nurses.

Methods: A pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest test design was used. The sample consisted of (n = 38) unit charge nurses and (n = 174) staff nurses; the program included theoretical components, group work, and individual study assignments. Data was collected using the Demographic Data Sheet, Psychological Empowerment Scale and Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture before, immediately after, and four months after the program. Data were analysed by percentages, repeated measures analysis of variance, and the Friedman analysis was used for the abnormally distributed data. The Cochran's Q test was used to analyze the number of events reported.

Results: There was a statistically significant increase found in the results of the Psychological Empowerment Scale's scores on the competence and meaning subscales, the mean positive response to teamwork within the unit’s composite of Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (p < 0.05), and event reporting (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that creating a positive patient safety culture requires a review of the structures and processes of an organization. Creating, maintaining a desirable patient safety culture in health institutions is a long and hard process. The duration of future empowerment programs may be determined to allow for the long-term monitoring of their effects.

Published: May 2021

Cilj. Cilj je ovog rada predstavljanje primjera dobre prakse kriznog upravljanja i knjižničnog poslovanja Knjižnica grada Zagreba tijekom 2020. godine, posebice u sa- mom jeku potpune obustave rada svih kulturnih djelatnosti.
Pristup/metodologija. Osim pregleda usluga za korisnike koje su se pružale konti- nuirano, u radu će detaljno biti prikazani primjeri dobre prakse iz poslovanja, osmišljeni i uvedeni u vrlo kratkom vremenu u nastojanju da se zadovolje brojne društvene, kultur- ne i obrazovne, pa čak i psihološke potrebe građana. Prikazane su i knjižnične prakse i usluge u međunarodnom kontekstu s kojima je provedena usporedba, kao i usklađenost s preporukama međunarodnih i nacionalnih knjižničarskih udruženja te je dan pregled rezultata kvantitativne i sadržajne analize komunikacije s korisnicima putem e-pošte i objava u medijima.
Rezultati. Usporedba knjižničnih praksi i usluga u međunarodnom kontekstu te ana- liza usklađenosti s preporukama međunarodnih i nacionalnih knjižničarskih udruženja pokazuju visok stupanj podudarnosti i usklađenosti, dok su rezultati kvantitativne i sa- držajne analize komunikacije s korisnicima i objava u medijima potvrdili opravdanost korištenog modela kriznog upravljanja i komunikacije.
Praktična primjena. Mogućnost praktične primjene prikazanih primjera dobre prak- se kriznog upravljanja i knjižničnog poslovanja te rezultata i prikaza usluga za korisnike svakako je neizmjerno važna za sve narodne knjižnice u Hrvatskoj.
Društveni značaj. Bolest COVID-19 nametnula je sasvim nove paradigme poslova- nja, poput zatvaranja knjižnica, strogih higijenskih mjera i ﬁzičke udaljenosti, a rad u kriznim okolnostima dodatno je otežan potresom koji je pogodio Zagreb 22. ožujka te poplavom koja se dogodila 24. srpnja 2020. godine. Rad je prilog tvrdnji da su knjižnice ustanove koje su oduvijek spremno odgovarale na raznolike društvene izazove.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Opisani primjeri dobre prakse kriznog upravljanja i komu- niciranja te opisane knjižnične usluge predstavljaju značajan doprinos pregledu praksi kriznog upravljanja u narodnim knjižnicama na nacionalnoj razini te na toj razini pred- stavljaju vrijedan prilog za daljnju raspravu.
Photocatalytic Degradation of Malachite Green using Undoped and Carbon-Doped Calcium Molybdate Catalysts
Authors: Hardeep Shre Chawda , J. Bhatt , R. Rathore , Suresh C. Ameta , R. Ameta
Published: May 2021

Calcium molybdates (undoped and carbon-doped) have been used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of malachite green. These have been characterized by different techniques such as FE-SEM, EDX and XRD. The progress of the reaction has been monitored spectrophotometrically. Different rate affecting parameters like pH, concentration of dye, amount of semiconductor and light intensity have been studied and their optimum values obtained are pH 9.7, concentration of malachite green as 5.00 × 10-4 M, 0.12 g of CaMoO4 and light intensity as 50.0 mWcm–2. A tentative mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation of dye has been proposed, where hydroxyl radical has been observed as an active oxidizing species.

Published: May 2021

Las planimetrías del Instituto Geográfico Nacional muestran por primera vez una imagen completa y detallada de buena parte del territorio español entre finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Se confeccionaron a partir del contacto directo con el territorio con unos criterios uniformes previamente establecidos, lo que las convierte en una fuente de información histórica de notable interés. A partir de las diversas experiencias de trabajo con estos documentos, pretendemos mostrar las posibilidades que ofrece para la documentación y valoración histórica del patrimonio de las obras públicas y de diversos hitos que en aquel momento articularon el paisaje construido.

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought considerable loss to the world by means of pneumonia related mortality. In the current study, we aimed to discover the predictors of mortality and other worse outcomes in atypical pneumonia cases during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out in our emergency department (ED) between March and May, 2020. All adult patients presented to the ED with atypical pneumonia patterns related to COVID-19 based on a chest CT scan were included in the study, and patients with bacterial pneumonia patterns were excluded. The primary outcome measure was determined as the composite outcome, including mortality and intensive care unit admission or mechanical ventilation needs within a one-month period. A binary logistic regression model was constructed to predict the worse outcomes in those patients.
Results: Of the 271 suspected pneumonia cases, 146 patients were included in the final analysis. The composite outcome occurred in 31 patients (21.2%), 17 of whom died within one month. The patients’ age, history of heart failure, history of stroke, body temperature, dyspnea, cough, altered mental status, serious bronchospasm, bilateral lung involvement, hemoglobin level, LDH, lactate level, and bicarbonate and creatinine levels were added to the final model. Finally, patients’ altered mental status (OR:15.7, 95%CI:1.7-141.6), serious bronchospasm (OR:12.4, 95%CI:1.6-97.9), and lactate levels (OR:1.1, 95%CI:1.0-1.2) were found to be independent predictors for worse outcomes.
Conclusion: Among various clinical and laboratory variables, altered mental status, serious bronchospasm, and lactate levels can be used to predict worse outcomes.

Are today’s students able to discern quality information from sham online? In the largest investigation of its kind, we administered an assessment to 3,446 high school students. Equipped with a live internet connection, the students responded to six constructed-response tasks. The students struggled on all of them. Asked to investigate a site claiming to “disseminate factual reports” on climate science, 96% never learned about the organization’s ties to the fossil fuel industry. Two thirds were unable to distinguish news stories from ads on a popular website’s home page. More than half believed that an anonymously posted Facebook video, shot in Russia, provided “strong evidence” of U.S. voter fraud. Instead of investigating the organization or group behind a site, students were often duped by weak signs of credibility: a website’s “look,” its top-level domain, the content on its About page, and the sheer quantity of information it provided. The study’s sample reflected the demographic profile of high school students in the United States, and a multilevel regression model explored whether scores varied by student characteristics. Findings revealed differences in student abilities by grade level, self-reported grades, locality, socioeconomic status, race, maternal education, and free/reduced-price lunch status. Taken together, these findings reveal an urgent need to prepare students to thrive in a world in which information flows ceaselessly across their screens.

Over-expression of adenosine kinase in human endometrial cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2021

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified adenosine kinase, encoded by ADK, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. ADK was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, primary tumor expression of ADK was correlated with overall survival in patients with endometrial cancer. ADK may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)-Based Meta-Analysis
Authors: Cheung Mike W.-L.
Published: May 2021

Structural equation modeling (SEM) and meta-analysis are two popular techniques in the behavioral, medical, and social sciences. They have their own research communities, terminologies, models, software packages, and even journals. This chapter introduces SEM-based meta-analysis, an approach to conduct meta-analyses using the SEM framework. By conceptualizing studies in a meta-analysis as subjects in a structural equation model, univariate, multivariate, and three-level meta-analyses can be fitted as structural equation models using definition variables. We will review fixed-, random-, and mixed-effects models using the SEM framework. Examples will be used to illustrate the procedures using the metaSEM and OpenMx packages in R. This chapter closes with a discussion of some future directions for research.
How narratives of racial progress create barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion in organizations
Authors: Kraus Michael W. , Torrez Brittany , Hollie LaStarr
Published: May 2021

Despite recent statements in support of racial justice many organizations fail to make good on their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). In this review, we describe the role of the narrative of racial progress—which conceives of society as rapidly, naturally, and automatically ascending toward racial equity—in these failures. Specifically, the narrative of racial progress: 1) envisions organizations as race neutral, 2) creates barriers to more complex cross-race discussions about equity, 3) creates momentum for less effective policy change, and 4) reduces urgency around DEI goals. Thus, an effective DEI strategy will involve organizational leaders overcoming this narrative by acknowledging past DEI failures, and, most critically, implementing significant, immediate, and evidence-based structural changes that are essential for creating a more just and equitable workplace.
Behavior Genetics Research on Personality: Moving Beyond Traits to Examine Characteristic Adaptations
Authors: Nguyen Phuong Linh Le , Syed Moin , McGue Matt
Published: May 2021

This paper argues that behavior genetics research on personality should expand beyond universal traits to include characteristic adaptations. Trait research examines broad, decontextualized, and universal domains such as the Five Factor Model. Characteristic adaptations are more contextualized than traits, such as goals and life strategies as responses to specific life demands. The paper is organized into three sections: (1) a review of the abundance of behavior genetics research on personality traits, which has reached a convergent point at which few further findings are reported beyond the classic distribution of high genetic and non- shared environmental influences with little to no shared environmental effect; (2) a review of existing behavior genetics research on characteristic adaptations that, although limited in volume, has demonstrated patterns far less consistent than traits; and (3) a discussion on future directions and important limitations to consider in conducting and interpreting behavior genetics research on non-trait personality. The connection between characteristic adaptations and contextualized life outcomes, the preponderance of homogenous findings on traits, and the sparse yet promising findings of characteristic adaptations, all support the need for behavior genetics research on personality to expand beyond the broad trait level to characteristic adaptations and beyond.
Civil Wartime Political Parties: Evidence from Four Rebellions in India
Authors: Stommes Drew
Published: May 2021

Elections frequently occur during civil wars. Yet, existing research does not adequately conceptualize the political parties contesting them nor, in particular, the party organizations which are ideologically aligned with insurgents but opposed to overthrowing the state. This study conceptualizes such non-revisionist parties as aligned status quo party organizations and situates them in a novel typology of civil wartime political parties. Regression discontinuity and qualitative analyses of four civil wars in India find that in localities where aligned status quo parties won elections, overall voter turnout significantly declined in subsequent election cycles and can be explained by rebels and state security forces intensifying their operations in these areas. The results illustrate that aligned status quo parties uniquely face counterinsurgent and insurgent coercion, reinforce the typology's utility, and contribute to our understanding of political parties and civil wartime democratic institutions.
