Educational Leadership During Times of Armed Conflict: Thailand’s Lessons for Somalia
Authors: Schwartz Lleij Samuel , Aden Saeed A
Published: November 2017

In this theoretical paper, the authors present the results of a collaborative effort to construct a teaching case centered on the challenges of educational leadership in the context of regions affected by the Somali insurgency. Noting a paucity of research in educational leadership for institutions situated in conflict zones, the authors present findings from prior research on educational leadership conducted in the restive southern provinces of Thailand that have the potential to be successfully applied in the similar context of post-conflict Somalia. The authors posit that comparative social policy methodology might be successful in identifying common challenges educational leaders in conflict zones around the world face, and leadership strategies that address those challenges.
Pilot Study, Does It Really Matter? Learning Lessons from Conducting a Pilot Study for a Qualitative PhD Thesis
Authors: Ismail Nashwa , Kinchin Gary , Edwards Julie-Ann
Published: November 2017

A Pilot Study (PS) is a small-scale research project conducted before the final full-scale study. A PS helps researchers to test in reality how likely the research process is to work, in order to help them decide how best to conduct the final research study. In piloting a study, a researcher can identify or refine a research question, discover what methods are best for pursuing it, and estimate how much time and what resources will be necessary to complete the larger final version of the study. There is, however, a paucity in literature that focuses on using, reading and representing PSs. This article discusses the importance of a PS to test and identify how methods and ideas would work in practice when undertaking a qualitative PhD thesis. The proposed PS in this paper addressed many challenges, and the researcher reflected on different perspectives of their work including ethical, cultural, social and professional issues. By the end of the PhD thesis, undertaken with the guidance of the PS, it was found that a well-conducted PS, giving a clear list of aims and objectives within a formal framework, can encourage methodological rigour and ensure the validity of both the study itself and the methodology applied. The objectives of this paper are thus threefold: first, to identify the issues within a specific qualitative PS prior to conducting the final study; second, to address the researcher’s reflections on these findings and finally, to share the experiences and knowledge that a PS can be expected to bring.
Austrian and Dustbowl Refugees Unite in Three Faces West (1940)
Authors: Vansant Jacqueline
Published: November 2017

Released in July 1940, a little over two years after Austria had been incorporated into Nazi Germany and ceased to exist as an independent state, Bernard Vorhaus's Three Faces West takes a bold stand on contemporary issues through its Austrian-American romance. The filmmakers use the dire situation of farmers in a drought-ravaged area to elicit sympathy for the refugees from Europe and to challenge nativist and isolationist attitudes. The film features two refugees from Vienna, Austria—a renowned surgeon (Charles Coburn) and his attractive daughter (Sigrid Gurie)—who must adjust to living in a rural community in the American heartland. When the celluloid Americans meet these foreign individuals, serious cultural commentaries emerge. The promise of unity between foreigners and American-born is most pronounced when the young Austrian woman and the handsome, farmer protagonist (John Wayne) fall in love. In this rare Austrian-American romance set in the United States, the filmmakers counter perceptions of the refugees as alien others and suggest that cultural differences can easily be overcome. By weaving together the stories of the Austrians fleeing Hitler and their American counterparts fleeing the Dust Bowl, the film proposes a radical alternative to the misery of the displaced Americans familiar from the news and presented most graphically in John Ford's filming of John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath (March 1940).
A case of concomitant subcorneal pustular dermatosis and erythema nodosum leprosum in borderline lepromatous leprosy-relapses
Authors: Gunawan Hendra , Roslina Nina , Suwarsa Oki
Published: November 2017

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) is a rare, chronic, and recurrent pustular eruption characterized histopathologically by subcorneal pustules that contain neutrophils. SPD has been clearly reported conjunction with other diseases. Leprosy reactions are acute inflammatory process that immunologically driven on the chronic course of leprosy. Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is a type II of leprosy reaction putatively can initiate SPD lesions. We report one case of concomitant SPD and ENL in borderline lepromatous leprosy-relapses. A 41-year-old man with the history of using multidrug therapy-multibacillary for leprosy presented with painful erythematous nodules on the trunk and extremities, accompanied by pustules on erythematous base on the face, arms, buttocks, and legs. There were thickening of both ulnar nerves with gloves and stocking hypesthesia. The bacterial index was 3+ and morphological index was 20\%. Histopathological examination on the pustule revealed subcorneal pustules with exocytosis of neutrophils which supported the diagnosis of SPD. A possible immunologic mechanism has been suggested in the induction of the occurence both SPD and ENL.

Published: November 2017

The objective is to evaluate the germination of four different safflower genotypes at six sowing depths. The study was carried out in the experimental field of the Western Paraná State University, in Cascavel, in two stages: in protected environment and in the field. In a protected environment, the experimental units were vessels with a 0.10 m diameter and a 0.20 m height, maintaining a 0.05 m water level. Using 10 seeds per vase, filled with substrate composed of vermiculite and macronutrients. For the field, the experimental units were divided in 3 blocks with 1.50 m rows, with 30 seeds spaced in 0.05 m, spacing between 0.30 m rows, totalizing blocks of 6 m by 1.8 m. For the analysis, we performed a 5 × 4 factorial, with four replicates being 5 depths (0.02; 0.04; 0.06; 0.08 and 0.10 m) and 4 genotypes, with analysis of percentage, speed index, mean time and average speed of emergence and morphometric characteristics of the plant. High emergence rates occurred for the lowest sowing depths, ranging from 60 to 80%. At the greatest depths, the averages were below 50%. At 0 m depth, there was no emergence for both sites. For the emergence speed index, the averages ranged from 0.47 to 1.34 seeds per day for the protected environment and 2.26 to 16.42 seeds per day for the field experiment. For both sites, the IMA-2103 genotype had the best performance for the evaluated indices. The depths indicated for planting are 2 and 4 cm.

Soil organic matter is degraded and easily altered by the type of management. The objective of this work is to determine the total organic carbon and humic substance fractions in the organic matter of the soil with different management types and depths in the western region of Paraná, Brazil. The work was carried out in the Experimental Farm “Professor Antônio Carlos dos Santos Pessoa”, belonging to the State University of the West of Paraná. Five soil management systems were evaluated: one area with corn cultivation for silage (CS); other area with succession of crops, with soybean in summer and corn in winter (SC); the next area also with succession of crops, with soy in the summer and oat in the winter (SO); the following area with permanent pasture with Tifton (PP); and the last area with crop-livestock integration (ILC). For each management system, four plots were randomly selected, in each plot three simple samples were collected in a diagonal direction to form a composite sample for the depth of 0.00-0.05 m, 0.05-0.10 m and 0.10-0.15 m. Total organic carbon, fractionation of the humic substances and the AH/AF and EA/HUM ratios were calculated. For most of the analyzed variables, it was verified that there were significant differences (P < 0.05) between the systems evaluated in the studied depths. In the evaluated areas, the PP, SO and ILC systems presented the highest carbon content for all attributes analyzed.

Authors: Katsaruware-Chapoto Rumbidzai Debra , Mafongoya Paramu L. , Gubba Augustine
Published: November 2017

Farmer knowledge of insect pests’ risks in a changing climate is important in managing insect pests’ incidence. A total of 250 vegetable farmers from 5 wards in Zimbabwe were sampled using a semi-structured questionnaire to assess their knowledge on climate change risk, its impact on vegetable insects pests and management strategies to reduce the increased incidence of insect pests. Focus group discussions, key informant interviews and field observations were also used. Droughts and elevated temperatures were perceived to have the greatest impact on vegetable insect pests resulting in their increased incidence. Aphids, cutworms and whiteflies were identified among the major pests that have increased. The majority (53%) of the farmers cited high vegetable losses from insect pests attack. All the respondents (100%) revealed the use of chemical insecticides during production of vegetables. A higher proportion (60%) perceived effective control, 34% perceived reduced efficacy and 6% were not sure of effectiveness of chemical insecticides. Management strategies to cope with the increasing insect pests and diseases on vegetable production also included planting insect resistant cultivars, certified seeds, increased frequency of application of synthetic insecticides, insecticide mixtures, use of more hazardous chemical insecticides and increasing the rates of application resulting in insecticide overuse. There is need for government to facilitate development and adoption of Integrated Insect Pest Management (IIPM) and raise awareness on avoiding overdependence on chemical insecticides. Modelling tools that support adaptation planning needs to be developed to forecast climate change risk and the resultant incidence of insect pests.
Factors Affecting the Joint Adoption of Herbicides and Conservation Tillage Technologies among Smallholder Farmers in Zambia
Authors: Mutale Godfrey , Kalinda Thomson , Kuntashula Elias
Published: November 2017

For over three decades, Zambian private and public organizations have been promoting Conservation Agriculture (CA) among smallholder farmers, throughout the country. CA, as a technology, involves Conservation Tillage (CT) methods and use of herbicides, particularly in the first 3 to 4 years of its adoption. Despite the long-term CA dissemination effort from stakeholders, adoption of both herbicides and CT technologies has been relatively low. Using the 2012 Rural Agricultural Livelihood Survey (RALS12) data collected country-wide, a bivariate probit analytical model investigated whether Zambian smallholder farmers make a joint adoption decision in the uptake of herbicides and CT methods. Results indicate that the adoption of herbicides is jointly linked to the adoption of CT technologies. Factors such as being a male-headed household, belonging to a cooperative society, larger sizes of cultivated areas, owning productive tools such as a knapsack sprayer and receiving advice on CA technologies, were critical in positively influencing the joint-adoption of herbicide and CT technologies. Overall, results imply that if the adoption of herbicides is to be enhanced, the promotion of CT technologies have to be intensified. The best promotional channels include agricultural groups such as farmer cooperatives, which are good conduits and platforms for smallholder farmers’ knowledge-sharing. These promotional efforts should support gender balancing and emphasize the inclusion and use of herbicides in CA. There is also need for government to enhance farmers’ access to productive tools that support the use of herbicides such as knapsack sprayers.
Genotype by Trait Associations among Drought Tolerant Maize Inbred Lines
Authors: Musvosvi Cousin , Wali Mruthunjaya C.
Published: November 2017

Twelve tropical, yellow maize inbred lines identified as drought tolerant were evaluated in multi environments, including managed drought, rain fed and irrigated conditions. The objective was to study genotype-trait associations across environments. A 3 × 4 a-lattice design with two replications was used in each environment. Data were recorded for twenty-one traits. Combined analysis of variance using data from all environments was done for all traits using the GLM procedure in SAS version 9.3. Genotype by trait associations were revealed using the genotype main effect plus genotype-by-environment biplot model in GENSTAT 14th Edition. Inbred lines which were associated with high grain yield and related desirable traits such as a low drought susceptibility index under managed drought were DMR-M-81, DMR-M-88, FA6, GPM36 and M39. Across the diverse environments, DMR-M-84, DMR-M-88, FA6 and GPM36 were associated with grain yield and/or its related traits. The inbred lines associated with desirable traits could be evaluated for combining ability in order to know their desirability in cultivar development. These inbred lines could be used as female parents in seed production programmes since high productivity and drought tolerance are important qualities of female parents in seed production.

Published: November 2017

The efficiency of fungal solutions, without wheat in organic systems, can be improved with the use of adjuvants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the dispersion of fungal droplets of organic fungicides with adjuvants in wheat leaves and disease control efficiency. The experimental design used was the completely randomized design in factorial scheme 2 × 3, with 6 repetitions. The first factor corresponded to fungal solutions bordeaux syrup (200 g L-1) and lime sulfur syrup (200 g L-1) and second factor to the adjuvants: mineral oil and vegetable oil (0.5% v v-1) and one Witness without application.. On the adaxial side, the use of the mineral oil provided scatter of drop 111.8 and 25.7% higher, to the grouts without adjuvants and vegetable oil, respectively. The greater spreading of the droplets on the two foliar faces and a lower incidence of the diseases with the product of the lime sulfur syrup + mineral oil. The use of the adjuvants in the syrups evaluated with positive results in the production components, standing out the mineral oil.
Using Tannery Sludge to Manage Soybean Cyst Nematodes in Soybean Crops
Authors: Mello Jéssica Rodrgues de , Moreira Janaina Alves de Almeida , Malafaia Guilherme , Araújo Fernando Godinho de
Published: November 2017

Soybean crop (Glicyne max) is host to a range of pathogens, among them phytonematoids, with emphasis on the soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines), which has recently caused great damages to the crop and compromised its productivity. Alternatives to the management of diseases, caused by phytonematoids, that are effective and less harmful to the environment, are increasingly being sought. Thus, the incorporation of organic compounds into the soil, such as tannery sludge (bovine chain by-product), presents great potential in the management of soil-borne pathogens, as well as reducing environmental impacts caused by the release into the environment. Thus, the aim of present study had as objective to evaluate the effect of different tannery sludge doses on the management of H. glycines in greenhouse. The study used a nematode-susceptible cultivar (BRS Valiosa RR) and followed a completely randomized experimental design, with 5 repetitions. The nematode penetration in the roots was assessed 10 days after inoculation (DAI), whereas the fresh root mass, the number of females per root gram, and the number of eggs per female were assessed 30 DAI. The tannery sludge is efficient in the management of H. glycines in nematode-susceptible soybean cultivars, reducing the number of females per gram of root, the number of juveniles of the second stage (J2) of the nematoid per root system and promoting increases in fresh mass of the roots. However, more studies are needed to understand the dynamics of the nematode reduction in the presence of the organic compound, since nematode reproduction was not affected by the presence of tannery sludge.
Geophysical Quantification of Water Percolation Quotient in an Alluvial Agricultural Soil
Authors: Cassel Florence , Sharma Shankar
Published: November 2017

Efficient water use planning is crucial for the sustainability of irrigated agriculture in California, where alluvial geological materials with indigenous salts impinge on crop growth. To facilitate irrigation scheduling and cultivation planning, it is necessary to determine water percolation quotients (WPQ) required for removal of excess salts from the rhizosphere. In order to estimate real-time WPQ, we conducted electromagnetic geophysical surveys at a saline farmland followed by stochastic computations. Results showed a wide variability in salinity that reached 16 dS m-1 in some locations. About 95% of the surveyed samples surpassed 2 dS m-1. Despite spatially dependent asymmetric variability and skewness (-0.13 to 1.90), the WPQ distribution patterns were consistently quantified with low errors (< 0.06). The sensor responses in the fields reached 100% cumulative frequency at a threshold of 13.6 dS m-1. Up to 49% of WPQ data ranged from 0.1 to 0.2. The WPQ decreased with increasing salinity and the zones with low quotient values represented areas where plant growth could be impaired. High WPQ levels demarcated zones with potential solute dissolution and dispersion. Overall, evaluation of WPQ can benefit irrigation planning and crop management practices while enhancing water use efficiency for agricultural production in farms that have been affected by drought and water shortage, and crop growth can be sustained at WPQ level that maintains salts below the crop tolerance threshold.

Retrospectively reported month-to-month variation in sleeping problems of people naturally exposed to high-amplitude annual variation in daylength and/or temperature
Authors: Putilov Arcady A.
Published: November 2017

Compared to literature on seasonal variation in mood and well-being, reports on seasonality of trouble sleeping are scarce and contradictive. To extend geography of such reports on example of people naturally exposed to high-amplitude annual variation in daylength and/or temperature. Participants were the residents of Turkmenia, West Siberia, South and North Yakutia, Chukotka, and Alaska. Health and sleep-wake adaptabilities, month-to-month variation in sleeping problems, well-being and behaviors were self-assessed. More than a half of 2398 respondents acknowledged seasonality of sleeping problems. Four of the assessed sleeping problems demonstrated three different patterns of seasonal variation. Rate of the problems significantly increased in winter months with long nights and cold days (daytime sleepiness and difficulties falling and staying asleep) as well as in summer months with either long days (premature awakening and difficulties falling and staying asleep) or hot nights and days (all 4 sleeping problems). Individual differences between respondents in pattern and level of seasonality of sleeping problems were significantly associated with differences in several other domains of individual variation, such as gender, age, ethnicity, physical health, morning-evening preference, sleep quality, and adaptability of the sleep-wake cycle. These results have practical relevance to understanding of the roles playing by natural environmental factors in seasonality of sleeping problems as well as to research on prevalence of sleep disorders and methods of their prevention and treatment in regions with large seasonal differences in temperature and daylength.

Published: November 2017

Legionella was monitored in reclaimed water systems and were detected by culture in 50% of 115 samples, while 80% of the samples were positive by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The lowest level of Legionella was in a system that practiced biological nutrient removal and maintained an average 0.3 mg/L free chlorine residual. The difference between qPCR and ethidium monoazide treated samples was used as an indicator of viability, and the greatest difference was in a chloraminated system, where the molecular method indicated a 9% viability. Ninety‐six percent of the species were L. pneumophila, and 87% were identified as L. pneumophila serotype 1. Total amoebae (summed as cysts or trophozoites) were detected in 100% of samples from all six systems, and were mostly (50–95%) in the active trophozoite phase. In the chloraminated system, 87% of the mesophilic amoebae and 66% of the thermophilic amoebae were in the cyst phase.
Teaching Conceptual Modelling in Cultural Heritage
Authors: Gonzalez-Perez Cesar , Martín-Rodilla Patricia
Published: November 2017

Specialists in the humanities and social sciences often construct models of the realities they work with; these models are usually expressed in natural language, as thesauri, or by similarly informal means. Conceptual modelling, a more formalised approach, has been used in other fields for some time, and we hypothesised that its usage in the cultural heritage field would allow specialists to create better and more powerful models. With this aim, in 2011 we launched an education program on conceptual modelling for cultural heritage. After five years and numerous experiences, we report here that specialists in cultural heritage with no previous exposure to modelling systematically learn the necessary techniques and show themselves able to develop rich models. Experience also shows that satisfaction about the approach is very high.

El hipertexto o el nuevo espacio comunicativo multimodal
Authors: Celis Sánchez Ángela
Published: November 2017

Como resultado de la aparición del espacio telemático y la comunicación hipertextual, las conocidas como metafunciones, enunciadas en primera instancia por el funcionalista  M.A.K. Halliday en su teoría del lenguaje conocida como sistémico funcional, cobran un cariz diferente del que se describe para los tradicionales entornos oral y escrito. Así, las clásicas metafunciones del lenguaje deberán ser enunciadas a partir de ahora como hiperfunciones o multifunciones, precisamente por la esencia multimodal (texto, imagen y sonido) que las alberga. Nos proponemos acercar teóricamente las distancias producidas por el salto del entorno analógico al entorno digital, para proponer una suerte de teoría específica para este nuevo espacio comunicativo.

Ustavnopravni modeli odnosa između države i crkava i verskih zajednica u Evropi
Authors: Владимир Ђурић
Published: November 2017

U evropskim zemlјama nema jednoobraznog modela odnosa između države i crkava i verskih zajednica. Modeli odnosa između države i crkava i verskih zajednica postoje u vidu odvojenosti dr- žave i crkava i verskih zajednica, saradnje između države  i crkava  i verskih  zajednica  i postojanje državnih  crkava, ili dominantnih  religija.  Iako postoje različiti modeli tog odnosa, i uprkos činje- nici da su različiti sistemi odnosa između drža- ve i crkava i verskih zajednica duboko ukorenjeni u istorijsko nasleđe, oni ni u kom slučaju nisu sta- tični.  Nakon  analize  pojedinih  sistema,  može da se zaklјuči da uprkos razlikama između pojedinih sistema, čini se da postoji određena mera konver- genicije sistema odnosa između države i crkava i verskih zajednica. Bez obzira o kom modelu odnosa je reč, država, u različitim vidovima, finansijski pomaže crkve i verske zajednice, omogućava, u od- ređenoj meri, aktivnosti crkava i verskih zajedni- ca u državnim  institucijama,  reguliše i pomaže izgradnju bogomolјa, prihvata i tretira religiju u javnoj sferi i vodi dijalog sa crkvama i verskim zajednicama. Takav razvoj je sasvim razumlјiv jer je religija deo javne sfere, a crkve i verske zajednice su na kraju krajeva od ovog sveta i deluju u ovom svetu. Na konvergenciju različitih modela odnosa između države i crkava i verskih zajednica u Evropi uti- ču poimanje uloge države kao jemstvenika lјudskih prava koja je samim tim i dužna da obezbedi uslo- ve za njihovo ostvarivanje u javnoj sferi, jednakosti zabrana diskriminacije, i načelno, nadnacionalne integracije. EU poštuje pravni status crkava i verskih zajednica koje one imaju po pravu država člani- ca i održavaće otvoreni, transparentni i redovni dijalog sa crkvama i orga- nizacijama čiji identitet uvažava prema nacionalnom pravu država članica. Za očekivati je da će proširivanje dijaloga dovesti i do saradnje i razvoja modela odnosa između EU/država članica i crkava i verskih zajednica koji će biti zasnovan na odvojenosti, ali i saradnji i državnoj pomoći.

Pored opštih izlaganja o pojmu parnice i učesnicima parničnog procesnog odnosa, u članku se razmatraju teorijska i zakonodavna rješenja koja se odnose na stranke i zastupnike i njihov položaj i ulogu u parničnom postupku, uz navođenje odgovarajućih primjera iz sudske prakse. U tom pravcu, je obrađena stranačka, parnična i postulaciona sposobnost tužioca, tuženog i drugih učesnika parnice, sa osvrtom na njihovu procesnu legitimaciju u parničnom postupku. Posebna pažnja je posvećena svim oblicima zastupanja u parničnom postupku, a naročito tzv. organima-zastupnicima i različitom postupanju sudova u nekim slučajevima.

The concept, “hate speech’’ is often misinterpreted with ideological thinking. Because often ideological stance declared hate speech , and when he really is not. Ideologically different view in a democratic society is one of the basic principles of democracy, as the legal system of governance provided that this paragraph does not imply discrimination and incitement to violence for a variety of personal characteristics or individual belonging to a group. Discussions in which are represented the ideological views on the rights of persons belonging to a particular national or ethnic minorities are quite legitimate in the legal regulated society based on the rule of law, but only under the condition that it does not encourage hatred, intolerance, not glorifying superiority on the basis of skin color or membership in a particular community.The reason for this is that the ideology based on an appeal to hatred and ideologies of superiority or inferiority based on race, language, color, religion and nationality are the legal principles underlying the democratic state, and in this sense every state must establish an effective legal framework to such ideologies were legally sanctioned . The author has conducted a legal analysis ,,the notion of hate speech ‘’, as well as its appearance in international legal documents. Also an analysis of how the concept of hate speech from its forms is regulated in parallel justice system, especially analyzed the occurrence of the term of ‘’hate speech’’ in the legal system of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Basic Characteristics of the Commercial Criminal Law of the Republic of Srpska / Osnovne karakteristike privredno kaznenog prava Republike Srpske
Authors: Јовашевић Драган
Published: November 2017

Considering the fact that in the modern world that knows no borders between countries and even continents, legal entities commit serious criminal offenses in the field of commercial, financial, computer, environmental, and similar operations. At the end of the 20th century, a lot of countries introduced a system of criminal responsibility and punishability of legal entities. Since the legal entity has no consciousness or will, i.e. is unable to take physical movements that would cause the consequence of a crime, specific rules on responsibility and application of criminal sanctions have been prescribed for this type of perpetrators. In this way, a new branch of criminal law was constituted - commercial criminal law. This paper deals precisely with the basic characteristics of commercial criminal law.

Authors: Pušac Jovana
Published: November 2017

In this paper author analyzes the normative complex of one of the most important institutes of contract law - form. That complex receives the fullness of importance primarily in the field of formal agreements. Namely, although the contemporary tendency in contract law that the form does not appear as a means of obstructing, mystification and complicating legal relations through the principle of summum ius summa iniuria, though more than ever, it can be talked about a kind of „renaissance“ of formalism. This particularly applies to those legal systems, including and the Republic of Srpska, where valid the exclusive form of public document for certain contracts (notarized documents). In them is superfluous discussion about possible convalidation of contracts through criteria of form`s purpose, since the goal of these forms is protection of public interests. In the legal system of the Republic of Serbia, the situation is, in this regard, quite different, bearing in mind the principle of competition form, since the requirement to respect the public notary forms, as the highest pillars of legal certainty, placed alternatively in line with the form made by court or other public authority.
Maternity Contract based on the birth for someone else / Materinstvo na osnovu ugovora o rađanju za drugog
Authors: Бабић Илија
Published: November 2017

The Draft of the Serbian Civil Code provides for a new contract for the birth for another person, on the basis of which the parental relationship is established. This contract obligates the surrogate mother to carry and give birth to a child and deliver it to the married couple or companions (the intended parents), after impregnation by seeding cells of one or both of the intended parents. The intended parents are required to take the child and establish the parental relationship with the child.The contract can be signed by a woman who lives with a surrogate mother (particularly justified by the reasons and determined on by the court in a contentious procedure - Article 63 of the preliminary draft), when it is necessary to use the seeding cells of the intended mother.The contract on the birth for another person is not in the interest of the child. In the countries where it has been adopted, it represents a means of exploitation of the poorest women and it is unnatural. In the Draft, the contract is regulated mainly according to the general legal standards, whereas the autonomy of the parties involved regulates the rights and obligations (such as the waiver of surrogate mother to the status of mother, the moment of acquisition of parental rights of the intended parents, the handover of the child, reimbursement of reasonable costs, etc).
Constitutional and political nature of Decision of the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina / Ustavnopravnopravna i politička priroda Odluka Visokog predstavnika u Bosni i Hercegovini
Authors: Karan Siniša
Published: November 2017

Nowadays, there are divided opinions in Bosnia and Herzegovina when it comes to further mandate of the OHR and the institution of the High Representative. However, the e nd of the mandate of the High Representative is realistically expected in the near future. The need to abolish the office of the OHR and the institution of the High Representative has been mentioned increasingly in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the Republic of Srpska. The reasons for the abolition of the function of the High Representative are different between the entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as among its constitutive peoples. The authority of the High Representative has been increasingly questioned.It is on that basis that questions arise more frequently whether his (High Representative) legal acts will be valid, in particular individual decisions, such as deprivation of certain rights to citizens, the right to work, political action and passive right to vote. Representatives of the international community are worried that the interested domestic political circles could set a thesis (and be successful at it) that all acts of the High Representative will cease to apply at the moment when Annex X of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina is ended.A number of imposed laws not yet adopted by the local legislator himself, in the event of cancellation, would actually return BiH to the original competences under the Constitution BiH, as the legal consequence. The institution of the High Representative was set up by Annex X (Agreement on Civilian Implementation of the Peaceful Solution) of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Simultaneously, bearing in mind these facts, legally speaking, Bosnia and Herzegovina can not be classified into any known form of international dependence, however, the objective situation is such that Bosnia and Herzegovina with the powers vested in the High Representative and the actions that he is taking, can be considered a state with a specific form of international dependence and a special form of guardianship.
Multilateral Mechanisms for Eliminating the Global Phenomena of Double Non-Taxation / Multilateralni mehanizmi za eliminaciju globalnog fenomena dvostrukog neoporezivanja
Authors: Antić Dinka
Published: November 2017

Internationalization of administrative cooperation of tax administrations is an adequate response to the growing internationalization of taxpayers’ business and the emergence of new financial instruments. The emergence of cross-border and international tax frauds in addition to threatening the budgets of states, it also undermines fairness of taxation, since regular taxpayers pay more tax than they should, and threatens the efficiency of capital allocation and equal competition in the market. Exchange of information on taxpayers and transactions within multilateral agreements allows states to assess properly tax obligations in the field of direct taxes but also to combat tax evasion and tax fraud and eliminate double non-taxation at the global level. The adoption of a harmonized legal framework for cooperation between tax administrations is the winning of new forces in the world that are committed to maximum transparency in taxation and finances in global business. Bearing in mind the commitment of B&H for European integrations the operational model of administrative cooperation of tax administrations in B&H should be based on mechanisms, standards and best practices of the EU. Such approach would not only enable the fulfillment of obligations to the IMF but it would also represent an appropriate step towards integrating B&H into the system of administrative cooperation of tax administrations of the EU.
