Authors: Malathi H. , Choudhury Surjya Prakash S. , Solanki Shailesh
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The gap between healthcare education and the practical application of training is what this study attempts to target. It has been found that HCWs are not adequately trained on the application of their knowledge and skills in actual clinical environments, resulting in a significant problem in the healthcare sector. Thus, this study explores approaches that can make this gap narrower and contribute to building the practical competences of health sciences students.Methods: We performed a systematic review of relevant literature and screened articles from medical and education databases. The inclusion criteria consisted of studies which were related to approaches or strategies related to bridging clinical training and practice in healthcare education. Twenty studies were included in the review which used thematic analysis for data analysis.Results: The analysis unveiled three overarching themes: implementation of simulation-based education, practical learning experiences through internships and preceptorship activities, and teamwork and inter-professional education. These themes underscored the pivotal role that hands-on practice, real-life scenarios, and teamwork play in bridging the chasm between clinical training and real-world application.Conclusions: Learning is the process of acquiring skills based on strategy used in clinical settings driven by real life situations. Simulation-based training allows students to practice their skills in a safe environment. Internships and preceptorship programs provide opportunities for experiential education, helping students gain actual experience and practice their practical skills. Moreover, inter-professional education and inter-professional collaboration help students learn how to function optimally in multi-disciplinary teams. These strategies should be considered by educational providers and facilities to successfully prepare healthcare students for the real-world challenges present in the healthcare environment.

Authors: Renuka Jyothi S. , Behera Suresh Kumar , Singh Indu , Soni Shankar Lal
Published: February 2025

Heart failure (HF) is a chronic and debilitating condition that adversely affects patients’ quality of life (QoL). While health promotion interventions, particularly self-management strategies, are widely acknowledged as potential tools for improving QoL in HF patients, existing studies have yielded mixed results, with limited evidence on long-term effectiveness. Prior research on health promotion interventions for HF patients often suffers from small sample sizes, short follow-up periods, and inconsistent measures of QoL. Furthermore, many studies have not fully integrated multidimensional approaches, considering both physical and psychosocial aspects of health. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with sixty HF patients and randomly allocated to either an intervention group (int grp) or a control group (Ctrl grp) through stratified block sampling. The int grp received a six-stage self-management promotion model, encompassing education on medication adherence, physical activity, dietary modifications, and psychosocial support. QoL was assessed using the structuredquestionnaire for HF patients at three-time points: baseline, immediate post-intervention, and one-month post-intervention. Statistical analysis involving ANOVA revealed significant improvement in the socioeconomic subscale scores of the HF questionnaire within the int grp. However, no significant differences were observed between the int grp and ctrl grp across the other subscales or the overall QoL score at any of the three-time points (p < 0.05). The self-management promotion model results in significant improvements in the overall QoL of HF patients.

Published: February 2025

Introduction:Healthcare leadership is pivotal in shaping the quality of care provided to patients. However, the mechanisms through which leadership influences patient satisfaction remain underexplored. Recent research predominantly failed to consider the role of different leadership styles in shaping various dimensions of care quality, leaving a gap in understanding how these factors collectively impact patient satisfaction. The investigation examined the impact of transformational and transactional leadership styles and the mediating effect of quality determinants between patient happiness and healthcare leadership.Method:A cross-sectional survey collected data from 300 healthcare professionals (nurses, doctors, and administrative staff) and patients across multiple healthcare institutions. Leadership styles were assessed through validated self-report questionnaires. Quality factors were measured using established indicators of communication, responsiveness, and accessibility. Data analysis and testing of the mediating effects of quality parameters were conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM).Results: The final model demonstrated an excellent fit to the data,with transformational leadership significantly improving quality characteristics, including responsiveness and communication, which improved patient satisfaction. Transactional leadership was also positively associated with care accessibility, which indirectly influenced patient satisfaction.The findings show a significant connection between patient happiness, quality variables, and leadership styles. Strong paths from TL, CO, RE, AC, and TAL to PS were demonstrated by β values ranging from 0.33 to 0.45 and p-values <0.001, indicating the acceptance of all hypotheses.Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of developing leadership styles that prioritize quality care and interpersonal communication ultimately enhancing patient experiences and satisfaction in healthcare settings.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: It explored how well healthcare graduates are prepared to face the changing demands of modern medicine. Given the rapid technological development and increasing complexity of patient care, it was important to evaluate whether current educational programs were preparing graduates with the requisite competence and knowledge.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among recent healthcare graduates from diverse medical schools. Preparedness and normalization-maintained readiness were assessed in several domains (e.g., clinical skills, communication, critical thinking, and adaptation to new technologies). Data were analyzed statistically to reveal deficits and strengths and targeted educational training were recommended.Results: The results showed that although graduates felt adequately trained in fundamental clinical skills, they were poorly prepared in new areas like telemedicine and working on an interdisciplinary team." Many also felt they needed more training in using digital health tools and managing data. Critical thinking.Conclusions: The study found that while healthcare graduates had a solid grounding in most core clinical skills, there was a considerable gap in their preparedness for the modern-day demands of medical practice. The way we train needs to change: include more education on emerging technologies, interdisciplinary team work and healthcare management. Enhancing these aspects may help train the next generation of health care professionals to better navigate and adapt to the complexities of modern medical systems.

Authors: Varma Pooja , Biswal Basudev , Awasthi Supriya
Published: February 2025

Organizational performance indicators (OPIs) are key measurements used to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and overall success of healthcare (Hc) organizations. These indicators can potentially influence Patient Satisfaction (PS), an important factor in determining healthcare quality. Understanding the link between OPIs and patient satisfaction might help healthcare practitioners improve service delivery. Hence, to evaluate the impact of several OPI on PS in healthcare settings, this research involves a mixed-methods approach. This approach included quantitative analysis through surveys of OPIs and PS, as well as qualitative interviews with healthcare personnel. OPIs such as Personnel Efficiency (PE), Resource Management (RM), Patient Care Quality (PCQ), Patient satisfaction (PS), and Healthcare Service Time (HcST) were assessed. Data were obtained from various healthcare settings, and using SPSS statistical approaches like descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression, the relationship between OPIs and PS was analysed. Research found a substantial positive relationship between specific OPIs and greater levels of PS. The results indicated that Resource Management (RM) had the highest performance, while Personnel Efficiency (PE) showed the lowest, emphasizing key areas for improving patient satisfaction. The analysis identified areas where OPIs may be enhanced to improve patient experiences, such as communication and personalized treatment.

Authors: Lenka Rajesh Kumar , Singh Indu , Jayakumar Sujayaraj Samuel
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The present study aimed to explore the associations between climate change, vector-borne diseases and health outcomes. Contemporary climate change has drawn growing recognition from the global public health community as an important global public health hazard (1). Vector-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease also pose significant public health threats, and we know that they, too, are sensitive to climatic changes. But the exact links among climate change, vector-borne diseases and public health outcomes remain poorly characterized.Methods: The goal of this study was to determine whether climate change, vector-borne diseases, and public health outcomes are connected in some way. However, the role climate change plays to the environment and human health made it a serious global public health threat (2). Vector-borne diseases, including malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease, are another important category of high-impact diseases and are also known to be affected by climate change. But the direct links between climate change, vector-borne diseases, and public health outcomes are poorly understood.Results: Overall, the results of the study indicate that climate change plays a very important role in the distribution, seasonality and transmission of vector borne diseases. Rising temperatures and shifting weather patterns are associated with the expansion of the geographic range of vectors, causing increased transmission of diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease[3]. In addition, adapting measures to control disease will be critical in response to active ecological changes driven by climate change.Conclusions: This research draws attention to the pressing need for international action on climate change to limit the impacts on vector-borne diseases and public health. Therefore, vector-borne diseases will continue to rise with little to no processes in place to quell its influence without climate change remediation measures and it would lead to dire consequences with respect to human health and well-being. Further research is needed to not only understand but also identify mechanisms to mitigate the impacts of climate change on vector-borne disease and human health.

Published: February 2025

Palliative Care (PA) significantly focuses on family caregivers, and it's critical to comprehend the interdependencies among patients, family caregivers, and service providers. Since there aren't many long-term studies that look at how patient Quality of Life (QoL) in PC affects family Caregiver Burden (CB), this research aims to investigate the connection between family CB and patient QoL in PC settings. PC is intended to help patients with severe diseases, but it frequently puts a heavy financial, emotional, and physical burden on family caregivers. 200 data (100 patients, 100 caregivers) were gathered from caregivers of patients receiving PC in a variety of hospital settings using established measures for assessing CB and QoL. The obtained data will be statistically analyzed to determine the association between patient QoL and CB utilizing multiple regression (MR) analysis and Spearman's rank correlation (SRC). The results show that the caregiver's perceived burden is greatly increased by low patient QoL, especially when it comes to physical and emotional health. The findings underscore the need for interventions that take into account the psychological and physical burden on caregivers in addition to the needs of patients. Research improves the knowledge of family caregiver interactions in PC and offers solutions to reduce caregiver stress, including resources to improve patient QoL, psychological support, and respite care.

Introduction: The study examined novel models of health leadership aimed at improving quality of life in post-acute care environments. It highlighted the need for adaptive strategies to meet the growing complexity and demands of healthcare provision within these settings.Methods: The research uses a mixed-methods approach consisting of a literature review, qualitative interviews with healthcare leaders and quantitative staff survey in post-acute care settings. Leveraging our experience in recruitment from stakeholder engagement, we recruited participants who had demonstrated leadership behaviour and experience in care model implementation. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis; statistical methods were used for quantitative findings.Results: It identified important leadership modalities significantly influencing patient outcomes and staff satisfaction. The most effective model that emerged was transformational leadership which entails inspiring and motivating staff, creating a culture of innovation and problem-solving based on collaboration. Facilities that adopted these models experienced better patient satisfaction scores, lower rehospitalization rates, and improved retention rates of staff.Conclusions: The results underscored how transformational leadership can redefine post-acute settings. Transformational leadership practices support the development of healthcare environments that contribute to increasing patient quality of life and provider value. The study also suggested more research into these leadership models' long-range effects and whether they can be applied in various healthcare environments. In conclusion, although effective leadership underpins the provision of quality care, the evidence is around the implementation of innovative leadership models as a way to improve patient care in post-acute settings.

Published: February 2025

Behavioural health treatments are very important for improving workplace safety because they deal with the mental and behavioural issues that cause risks in the workplace. Integrating mental health tactics into safety measures has become more important as workplaces get more complicated. This essay looks into different mental health treatments and how they can help make workplaces safer. The main goal is to find out how different methods, like stress management, mindfulness, resilience training, and cognitive-behavioral treatment, can help workers avoid crashes, injuries, and long-term health problems at work. This research uses a variety of methods, mixing both personal and quantitative data from a wide range of fields, such as healthcare, transportation, building, and manufacturing. A study was done to see the differences between organisations that have used behavioural health treatments and those that have not. Particularly those resulting from human error, the findings reveal a clear correlation between mental health initiatives and less accidents at workplace. These programs helped participants manage their emotions, deal with stress, and approach problems as they arose. These elements taken together make the workplace safer. Companies who applied these techniques also reported that their employees were generally more content, more involved, and more efficient. This emphasises even more the need of adding mental health into safety precautions at employment. This paper also addresses the issues that arise when attempting to implement these sorts of initiatives, including insufficient funds, management and employees not following through, and the requirement of long-term commitment to training and resources. The study emphasises the importance of implementing unique adjustments according to the demands of every company. Remember that safety at work is complex even as businesses keep giving health and safety first priority. Physical and psychological elements must be considered concurrently if one is to create a safe, healthy workplace environment.

Abstract: Long-term health effects of occupational safety measures are very important for figuring out how well they work at keeping workers from getting hurt or sick on the job. This study looks into what happens when different safety rules are put in place across many businesses over a long length of time. By looking at a lot of old information, like health records and safety compliance reports, the study finds patterns in how health improved at work after safety measures were put in place. There is a much higher chance of job dangers in fields like manufacturing, building, healthcare, and agriculture that are part of the study. Personal protective equipment (PPE), ergonomic changes, safety training programs, and regulatory compliance measures are some of the most important safety interventions that were looked at. There are both qualitative and quantitative methods used in the process. It is done using a longitudinal group study methodology, which lets health effects be tracked over time. Some of the health outcomes that are looked at are the number of musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory disorders, mental health problems, and deaths from injuries. A mixed-methods technique was used, which included expert conversations, worker comments, and statistical analysis. Chi-square tests, regression models, and survival analysis are used in the statistical analysis to look at the link between safety interventions and health outcomes. The results show that the number of injuries and illnesses related to work is significantly lower in sectors with strong safety measures compared to those with few or no interventions. Musculoskeletal disorders went down by 30% when ergonomic programs were put in place in manufacturing, and stress-related disorders went down by 25% when mental health programs were put in place in healthcare. Safety training programs have also helped bring down the number of fatal accidents in high-risk industries.

Abstract: Using artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector alters doctors' major decision-making process. Evaluating patients' quality of life (QoL) is one area where artificial intelligence seems rather promising. Understanding how various illnesses and therapies influence a person's overall health depends much on quality of life testing. Standard QoL exams, which rely on hand-written assessments and patient comments on their health, have issues like being subjective, biassed, and sluggish when it comes to analyse vast volumes of data. AI-powered testing tools can provide more accurate, quick, scalable methods to evaluate QoL if one is looking for a way around these challenges. This essay examines how artificial intelligence technology could alter the methodology of quality of life surveys. Diagnostics based on artificial intelligence are quite useful. For patient anecdotes, for instance, natural language processing (NLP) may be employed; machine learning techniques can then be used to project QoL values from medical data. AI systems can handle a lot of clinical data including medical records, imaging data, patient-reported results to generate objective, real-time, tailored QoL evaluations consistent and reusable once and again. Furthermore, these instruments can identify early warning indicators of deterioration that would not be evident using more conventional approaches. the usage of several sorts of records sources inclusive of clever tech and cellular fitness apps which increases the accuracy of stories in real time and allows non-stop tracking AI-driven checking out will also be led via This method not handiest courses medical doctors in making better selections however additionally affords people extra manipulate over their fitness, therefore improving their excellent of life over time. The studies additionally addresses moral questions arising from AI-primarily based QoL assessments consisting of data protection, patient permission, and what clinical professionals should do upon assessment of AI outcomes. through discussion of these issues, this take a look at emphasises the need of ensuring that synthetic intelligence generation be applied in a way that complements the interaction among the affected person and company in preference to replaces human know-how.

Published: February 2025

This study addressed the issue of the lack of implementation of playful games in digital environments at the Luis Chiriboga Manrique Public School. The digital divide in Ecuador is directly affecting the cognitive development of 5-year-old children, as teachers continue to use the same resources from previous years without integrating technological processes in the classroom. The main objective was to design and apply a games manual, both virtual and physical, to strengthen cognitive skills in early childhood. A significant sample of teachers was involved, and they were given a survey based on a Likert scale, collecting qualitative and quantitative data on the perception and effectiveness of the proposed activities. The main results showed a high acceptance of the manual by the teachers, who highlighted its positive impact on improving children's attention and logical reasoning skills. However, further training is needed to optimize the implementation of the games, as well as more cooperation from families in the home-based playful process. In conclusion, the games manual proved to be an effective tool for stimulating cognitive development, with potential for optimization through pedagogical and family support.

The Becoming of the Abject Body in Las Malas by Camila Sosa Villada
Authors: Nieto Alonzo Víctor Andrés
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The article analyzed Las malas (2019), a novel by Camila Sosa Villada, highlighting its significance as both a testimony and a denunciation of the violence inflicted on transvestites. It explored how the novel shed light on the social exclusion and rejection of these bodies, considered abject according to the theories of Julia Kristeva and Judith Butler.Development: The article addressed the representation of the transvestite body as both an object of repulsion and desire, revealing the hypocrisy of hegemonic masculinity. It also explained how society’s disciplinary power, as described by Michel Foucault, manifested in the discrimination, abandonment, and violence against the novel’s protagonists. Additionally, it highlighted the role of Aunt Encarna as a protective figure within a transvestite community that found refuge in collectivity. The analysis included the imposed clandestinity on transvestites, who could only inhabit the night to avoid daytime hostility. Furthermore, it discussed the duality of identity in characters like Las Cuervas, who experienced femininity in secrecy without suffering social rejection.Conclusion: The article concluded that Las malas redefined the Latin American literary canon by giving voice to an identity historically marginalized. Through Sosa Villada’s autobiographical narration, the novel recognized the importance of dissident identities and their place in literature.
Aesthetic: Subcultures in an Offline-Online Reality
Authors: Rosales Benítez Natalia
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The term “Aesthetic” underwent a significant change in 2020, going from being a little-known concept to a common phenomenon on social networks. Its use became popular among generations Z and Alpha, reflecting a new paradigm in digital communication. This concept emerged in a context of confinement, where interactions moved to the digital, blurring the boundaries between offline and online reality. The study set out to define and analyze the “Aesthetic” phenomenon within this new social and cultural dynamic.Development: From a theoretical approach, the article explored concepts such as subcultures and cultural industries, analyzing how Aesthetics can represent social movements, but also suffer a loss of their original meaning when they are aestheticized and commercialized. It was identified that technology and social networks played a key role in the diffusion of Aesthetics, functioning as spaces of interaction where users not only consume content, but also produce and transform it.The study identified essential characteristics of Aesthetics, such as the materialization of values in visual elements and their exchange on social networks. An analysis model was developed that explained how these concepts evolve and adapt according to the interaction of prosumers. An exemplary case was the “Coquette Aesthetic”, whose popularity grew to the point of influencing political campaigns and generating derivations such as the “Tumbette”.Conclusion: The article concluded that Aesthetics, although they may represent subcultures, are influenced by the culture industry, which dilutes their original values. Their fluidity and short duration raise questions about their impact on youth identity and globalized culture. In addition, the extent to which these phenomena can be used to aestheticize social problems was questioned, as well as whether they really constitute a new form of cultural identity or just a passing trend driven by the market.
Hooligan gangs, sexism and drugs. Analyzing violence through soccer series (Puerta 7; Club de Cuervos; and Perros de Berlín)
Authors: Valle Jiménez Mario Antonio
Published: February 2025

The analysis of the series *Puerta 7* (Argentina), *Club de Cuervos* (Mexico) and *Perros de Berlín* (Germany) allowed us to examine the representation of violence and sexism in audiovisual productions. Based on Johan Galtung's Triangle of Violence, three types of violence were differentiated: direct, structural and cultural. In addition, approaches to cultural consumption and mediation were considered in the analysis of television narratives.Research on *Club de Cuervos* has highlighted how the series addressed sexism in sports administration, the representation of gender stereotypes and the influence of the media on the perception of soccer. Satire was identified as a tool for questioning the power dynamics in Mexican soccer and its link to politics and corruption.In *Puerta 7*, the relationship between soccer fan clubs and organized crime was explored, highlighting the participation of women in traditionally male spaces and the way in which violence affects vulnerable sectors.On the other hand, *Perros de Berlín* presented a context of discrimination and structural violence in Germany, with an emphasis on the marginalization of migrant communities and the presence of extremist groups.These studies have shown that football, beyond its role as a sport, has been used as a narrative resource to expose social problems linked to violence, exclusion and power hierarchies.
Independence and nation. The construction of national identity in Mexico and Argentina during the 19th century
Authors: Rea García Cristian
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The author analyzed how, in recent years, Hispanic American historiography has reflected on the construction of nation-states after independence. The mythification of independence processes and the instrumentalization of these events in the consolidation of national identities were highlighted. Based on previous studies, the author compared the cases of Argentina and Mexico, examining how their national narratives were structured around symbols, heroes, and patriotic commemorations.Development: The text examined how the bicentennials of independence strengthened research on the formation of foundational myths in both countries. It emphasized that while in Mexico the Grito de Dolores became the origin of the insurgent movement, in Argentina, the May Revolution represented the starting point of its emancipation process. It also analyzed how early commemorations were used by elites to legitimize their political projects and how official narratives were constructed. The study observed that Argentina experienced multiple national projects, with different flags and symbols, whereas Mexico maintained greater territorial stability after its independence.Conclusion: The study provided insight into how historical memory and origin myths were fundamental in legitimizing nation-states. Both countries reinterpreted the events of 1810 to consolidate their national identities. The research demonstrated that these narratives not only built an official version of history but also excluded other potential nations that failed to materialize.
Traveling to Cuba and communication: experiences of environmental education
Authors: Picart Rodriguez Karla
Published: February 2025

In the contemporary context, concern for the preservation of the environment has intensified, becoming a highly relevant issue at a global level. Growing awareness of environmental challenges has generated renewed interest in environmental education as a fundamental tool for promoting sustainability and ecological responsibility. At the same time, the media, in their role as disseminators of information and generators of opinion, have taken on a leading role in shaping attitudes, behaviors and policies in today's society.During the hottest summer on record (July-August 2023), a group of scientists and communicators set out on a trip to the Cuban archipelago to monitor shark populations, study the state of the coral reefs and get closer to vulnerable coastal communities, as well as other parameters related to the impact of climate change. Through this research, the aim is to characterize the communicative elements used in the expedition “Bojeo a Cuba” that contributed to a greater environmental education of the Cuban population.
Politics in Cartucho (a work by Nellie Campobello)
Authors: Antonio Jasso Evelin Jacqueline
Published: February 2025

Next, we will analyze the literary work Cartucho: relatos de la lucha en el norte de México (1930) by the writer and artist Nellie Campobello, with an emphasis on the political dimension of the work, exploring what her proposal of a “possible world” or “worldview” consisted of with respect to the official discourse of the post-revolutionary political project. The analysis will be carried out from the perspective of the sociology of literature, understanding that every work and author is inscribed in a historical moment, and that they are both the result and the creators of that moment.Likewise, we will seek to explore the possibilities of literature as a space for the creation and proposition of other realities and, in particular, to address and position Nellie Campobello as the only woman writer of those years who fully assumed her artistic role (despite the fact that this led to a certain amount of social criticism), and who was also committed to her time, proposing a broader view free from official pretensions, recovering the vision of others, those who were ignored or even declared non-existent or incapable of speaking up to name themselves and tell their story and the collective story. Finally, by way of conclusion, the reflection will revolve around what Cartucho can give us today.

Authors: Darias Camejo Alejandro Enrique
Published: February 2025

The 1993 Russian Constitution, originally intended as a framework for the transition to a liberal democracy, has been utilized by Vladimir Putin to consolidate a new political system in Russia. Since coming to power in 2000, Putin's persona and policies have shaped the implementation of the Constitution, adapting its legal framework to the needs of a model of government that seeks long-term stability and national development. Constitutional amendments initiated by Putin in 2008, 2014, and 2020 have strengthened the executive branch and the figure of the president, and have introduced significant changes in three other key institutions of the Russian political system: the Federal Assembly, the Government, and the Judiciary. The political project started two decades ago has not only been completed, but has been surpassed in its entirety, culminating in a new legal-political stage.
Pedro Sánchez's third government. Progress in the consolidation of Spanish democracy
Authors: Hernández Meza Pablo Andrés
Published: February 2025

Introduction: In November 2023, Pedro Sánchez was re-elected as President of the Spanish Government thanks to agreements with seven political parties. His administration sought to face cyclical challenges and their impact on Spanish democracy. Among the main measures analyzed was the approval of the Amnesty Law, which benefited those involved in the 2017 independence referendum, as well as the negotiations with the Partido Popular for the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ). To understand the current state of democracy in Spain, the theoretical approaches of Giovanni Sartori, Joseph Schumpeter, Robert Dahl, Jorge Carpizo and Leonardo Morlino were taken into account.Development: Carpizo established that democracy was based on dialogue and political negotiation, which ensured the participation of minority actors in decision-making. Morlino, for his part, addressed the importance of accountability and its role in government oversight. In the Spanish context, the lack of a parliamentary majority consolidated the need for a coalition government, as Kaare Strom explained. Sánchez's investiture required pacts with Catalan parties, who demanded the Amnesty Law. This agreement reflected the influence of the independence conflict on Spanish politics and represented an effort to integrate these actors into democratic life. In addition, the renewal of the CGPJ was crucial to strengthen accountability and guarantee the balance of powers.Conclusion: The measures promoted by Sánchez consolidated Spanish democracy by facilitating the participation of minority parties and re-establishing dialogue between institutions. However, although these agreements represented progress, they did not resolve all of the country's problems. The implementation of these reforms laid the foundations for strengthening the democratic system, promoting inclusion and political stability.
INVESTMENT ARBITRATION AS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE NATIONAL RULE OF LAW
Authors: Živković Velimir
Published: February 2025

Investment arbitration has an enormous potential to enhance the rule of law at the national level, provided that the atomized investment tribunals network foregoes the perilous task of attempting to singlehandedly build ‘new administrative law’ on the international plane or to consider exercise of broad discretion as a normatively satisfactory type of reasoning in awards. Arbitral decision-making should thus turn its normative focus. A national legal system and the rule of law is generally a more immediate concern for a foreign investor and arguably far more relevant for the attraction of foreign direct investment in the long term. The contribution to its enhancement in addition to providing piecemeal protection is thus a more complete and legitimate pursuit of international investment agreements’ aims, in addition to other incidental benefits.

Published: February 2025

The paper compares state of corruption and way of its control in Serbia and the EU in order to identify differences and factors that determine the extent and trend of corruption and success in its control. The analysis shows that fundamental differences don’t exist in spectrum of measures implemented and problems that arise in their application between Serbia and the EU. Existing differences in perception extent of corruption by citizens are product of several factors inﬂuence, primarily the volume of direct citizens’ experiences with bribery and experiences of citizens in accomplishing their rights through legal channels. Regulatory mechanisms which should ensure efficient control of corruption have a limited range, especially those governing financing of political parties and declaration of assets of public officials. The paper points to a problem with the current voluntary approach to registration of lobbying in the EU, as well as the need to improve the national system for the control of corruption in line with the experiences of the EU countries.
