Authors:   European University at St. Petersburg, Bocharov Timur Yu. , Khodzhaeva Ekaterina A. ,   European University at St. Petersburg
Published: February 2023

The article proposes an analysis of professional reputations, social characteristics and scientific practices of the academic community of Russian lawyers. The authors give a detailed social portrait of the community: demographic characteristics, mobility, teaching load and involvement in legal practice. The study provides drawing on the representative survey the rankings of the most authoritative figures who have contributed to the Russian legal science in general as well as to particular sub-disciplines of law. In the article, the authors analyse how reputation correlates with formal indicators — the number of publications and citations in Russian and international journals. The article specifically addresses the issue of the involvement of Russian legal scholars into the international academia and their preparedness to use empirical methods and interdisciplinary approaches.
The Court Decision on The Recognition of an Act of Public Authority as Illegal: Limits of Discretion
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Yudin Andrey V.
Published: February 2023

The article deals with the problem of restoring the violated rights of an applicant or an administrative plaintiff in cases of administrative proceedings considered by arbitrazh courts and courts of general jurisdiction. The author states that at the moment there are two approaches of judicial practice to ways of restoring the rights of a person in cases of challenging an act of an authority: according to the first, the court, recognising the relevant act as illegal, obliges the authority to re-examine the issue on which the decision was made; according to the second approach, the court obliges the authority to resolve the issue in a specific way (to issue a permit, adopt a specific legal act, etc.). At the same time, the degree of prejudging the issue may vary — from a direct prescription to several possible alternatives, as well as to the establishment of only some parameters (conditions) of consideration of the issue. If the authority is obliged to re-resolve the issue, the new act may repeatedly violate the applicant’s rights, being identical in content to the act recognised as illegal.If the court obliges the authority to adopt an act of a specific content, then this runs into objections regarding the substitution of the authority by the court and its resolution of an issue not within the competence of the court, regarding the substitution of the administrative procedure by the court with the judicial procedure, as well as an argument regarding the violation of the principle of separation of powers. The author proposes a set of criteria that could guide the court in choosing one or another option for restoring the legality and violated rights of the applicant. Among such criteria: the completeness of the establishment of the factual circumstances of the case sufficient for the final conclusion; the nature of the violation of the rights of the applicant (administrative plaintiff); the nature of the administrative decision expected to be adopted, namely, the availability of possible alternatives to a new decision when re-examining the issue; the nature of the judicial decision expected to be adopted. The most significant criterion is reduced to the assessment by the court of the ability of the authority to overcome the judicial act that has entered into force by adopting a new decision of similar content.
Is Insolvency Solvent? On an Intellectual Approach to Law in an Era of Uncertainty
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Galperin Mikhail L.
Published: February 2023

The article analyses the problematic issues of applying in 2022 a moratorium on the filing of bankruptcy applications by creditors. This institute, as in a mirror, reflected the conceptual issues that are in the focus of attention of M. Z. Shvarts (the author’s mentor), in honour of whose anniversary the article was prepared: the correlation of substantive and procedural law, the constitutional framework of regulation, forms of judicial protection of subjective rights, the balance of private and public interests, standards of proof, the effectiveness of enforcement, pledge relations, bankruptcy, and many others. The author comes to the conclusion that in its current form, the moratorium is not only unable to stabilise the economic situation, but is a real danger to the legal system.

Authors: Stevenson Nancy
Published: February 2023

This article considers the well-being outcomes of a community festival that was developed and staged in 2020, during the first lockdown associated with the coronavirus pandemic (hereafter the pandemic). It is an autoethnographic account that reports on well-being benefits as people engaged in a festival project together. Social aspects of well-being were enhanced through collaboration and connection, positivity, and community volunteering. Environmental aspects of well-being were enhanced by activities that reconceptualized and reworked the local environment and enabled learning and sharing. The festival created opportunities for play, laughter, and frivolity and developing a community story of sharing and coping. The conclusion identifies the learning from the process of creating a community festival in the midst of crises in the hope that others will be able to take some of these ideas forward in their own communities.

Published: February 2023

The article deals with the organization of independent work of students as part of their self-educational activities. In the modern world, a university graduate is subject to certain requirements for the level and content of competencies formed in the learning process, the main of which are the ability to self-educate, autonomy and the ability to adapt to a changing situation. The skills necessary for this can be obtained in the process of independent work, which ensures the continuity of education and the possibility of advanced training. This paper discusses the organization of independent study by bachelors of the specialty "Economics" of the Samara State University of Communications of a separate section of mathematics, called "Linear models in economics". Since this is the first of the sections of mathematics studied independently, it is recommended that all educational material on it be placed in the EIEE of the university. For its assimilation, the student is recommended to: read, understand and outline the proposed material; solve problems in accordance with their version, answer in writing the main questions. Control consists in checking by the teacher the availability and quality of notes compiled by students; verification of an individual solution by each student of his version of tasks; conducting a blitz survey or testing.

Foreign Policy of Bangladesh towards India-China Tussle: A Neoclassical Realist Analysis
Authors: Nazin Lutfa Nafisa , Ahmed Shanto Rafayat
Published: February 2023

The security of South Asia often remains in turmoil because of the rivalry between the neighboring countries. South Asian countries, particularly developing states, adhere to the principles of strategic hedging for security and economic development. Bangladesh, as an ambitious and developing state, is no exception. Aiming for economic prosperity, Bangladesh tries to maintain a balanced relationship with its bordering states. The evolving regional economic and political dynamics are becoming more competitive and challenging than ever before. This competitive environment can enable Bangladesh to pursue economic and political advantages, reflecting neoclassical realism. Considering the South Asian political developments, the India-China relationship serves as the foundation of regional balance. This research utilizes a qualitative methodology based on neo-classical realism to assess previous data and forecast potential intervening variables that drive Bangladesh to achieve strategic balance in its bilateral relationship with India and China. In this context, the study uses the neoclassical realist model to explain the structural and national interests of Bangladesh and the influence of the strategic environment of the region on its foreign policies.

Authors: ALHAJI Mustapha Isa , AYUBA Abubakar Fusami , DANBOYI Joseph Amusuk
Published: February 2023

Land cover maps provide best understanding of current landscape change over time. One can evaluate past land cover maps for several different years for management decisions as well as gain insight into the possible effects on decisions making. One of the key monitoring areas is how the environment keeps degrading resulting from increased anthropogenic activities such as the removal of the forest covers. This study monitors the pattern changes of the Geidam Yobe state Nigeria, using Landsat images of two different periods from Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) image of data of 1988 and 2018. The images were geometrically and atmospherically pre-processed then classified, using maximum likelihood (MLC) algorithm to produce land cover maps of the Geidam. The accuracy of the classification was assessed with confusion matrices giving results morethan the minimum 85% required. The results revealed that the built-up and tree area increase by (+30.97%), water body reduced by (-5.06%) and forest reduce by (-23.48%) within the study period. This shows a rapid decrease in the forest, which is partly attributed to deforestation activities and partly to climate change impact.

La iglesia de San Martín de La Gineta. Una joya del gótico tardío en La Mancha
Authors: Alabau Montoya José
Published: February 2023

El templo de San Martín es, sin duda, el edificio más emblemático e importante de La Gineta (Albacete). Junto con la iglesia arcedianal de Santiago de Villena (y probablemente bajo su influencia), la capilla mayor de la catedral de Orihuela y la iglesia parroquial de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Utiel, representa uno de los más claros y mejores ejemplos del gótico mediterráneo helicoidal en estas tierras del antiguo Marquesado de Villena, por su variedad de soluciones constructivas dentro del difícil arte de la cantería, y por la admirable utilización de los nervios sogueados en columnas y bóvedas, combinando los soportes fasciculados con perfiles torsos, tanto en arista viva como con boceles. En su construcción intervinieron dos de los más destacados profesionales de la traza y la cantería como Jerónimo Quijano o Juan de Aranguren. El templo de San Martín de La Gineta es, sin lugar a dudas, una verdadera “joya” del gótico tardío en La Mancha. Este estudio pretende ofrecer un mejor conocimiento de sus valores arquitectónicos, a nuestro juicio, muy poco reconocido en la historiografía de la arquitectura española.

This study aims to investigate the response from selected potential buyers on the marketing communication channel by using the application of virtual reality (VR) in new housing schemes. The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis relating to the channel attributes and potential buyers' purchase intentions through a within-subject design with 100 prospective house buyers. Data were analysed using correlation analysis in IBM SPSS software. It was found that the channel attributes are related to the house purchase intention as indicated by correlation values of 0.793, which indicates strong correlations. As the study uses a quantitative survey method, the data obtained may not be as precise as data obtained using a qualitative research method. Respondents can only select a few options, making it harder for them to express their true opinions. As a contribution to the housing industry, this study emphasizes the importance of VR house models in marketing communication by providing useful empirical results and recommendations based on the research results. The study integrates the current knowledge derived from the research conceptual framework to develop a smart real estate marketing strategy using VR.

Published: February 2023

The demand for lightweight building materials that are easy to work with, self-compacting, and environmentally friendly has been acknowledged by the construction industry globally. Given this demand, it has been discovered that a recent innovative material, lightweight foamed concrete (LFC), may be able to reduce the weight of ordinary concrete. Besides, utilizing LFC with the addition of natural fibres is seen as a great effort to assist sustainability. Corrosion of reinforcing steel, which affects the behaviour and longevity of concrete buildings, is one of the most significant challenges in the construction of reinforced LFC. Therefore, the focus of this work is on identifying the possible application of Musa Acuminate fibre (MAF) in LFC. The intention of this study is to ascertain the durability characteristics of LFC with MAF. The cast has a low density of 550 kg/m3. We'll employ several volume fractions of MAF that are 0.15%, 0.30%, 0.45%, and 0.60%. The ability to absorb water, porosity, drying shrinkage and ultrasonic pulse velocity are the four criteria that will be evaluated. For the purpose of creating the necessary density of LFC, the protein-based foaming agent Noraite PA-1 was used. A constant water-to-cement ratio of 0.45 and a constant cement-to-sand ratio of 1.5 were used to get comparable results. The findings showed that for all of the durability attributes taken into account in this research, an increase of 0.45% MAF produced the best results. This resulted from the MAF and LFC cementitious composite's better bonding performance. Additionally, the fibres served as an anti-micro crack, preventing LFC cracks.

Natural rubber (NR) is obtained principally from Para-rubber trees of the species Hevea brasiliensis which grow in tropical regions. Using ultra-centrifugation method, fresh latex (FL) from Para-rubber trees can be mainly divided into four fractions; an upper white layer consists of rubber particles, Frey-Wyssling particles in a yellow or an orange layer, C-serum phase and lutiods particles in the bottom fraction [1-3]. The averages of rubber particles have diameters of 0.02 to 3.0 micron, and they are protected by a complex film containing lipids and proteins [4-8]. The main forces of attraction between neighboring rubber particles in latex system can be divided into five force types; Structural Forces (SF), Van der Waals Interaction (VWI), Electrostatic Force (EF), Exclusion Interaction (EI) and Polymer-Polymer Interaction (PPI) [9]. The porous model of rubber structure used to describe moisture transfer was based on the existence of two different regions referred to as non-hygroscopic region and hygroscopic region. The rubber products drying always produced a considerable shrinkage effect which considered in the physical of the product, such as the diffusion coefficient, mass and heat transfer. An initial moisture content of raw material, the experimental temperature and the drying equipment had affect to the EMC isotherms and the drying kinetics. Finally, discussions on the implications of the results for strategies to reduce the energy consumption in RSS and STR20 block rubber are also presented.

Published: February 2023

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) is a clean and green technology for extracting polyphenols and antioxidants from roselle (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) as nutraceutical ingredients and high-value co-products development. To increase the SC-CO2 fluid affinity towards polar compounds, general regard as a safe (GRAS) solvent, ethanol-water was added in a small amount as a modifier. Dry roselle calyces were extracted using modified SC-CO2 and conventional methods (Soxhlet and Shaking Water Bath) to determine whether the SC-CO2 technology may improve the extraction of phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The results showed that the SC-CO2 extract had a significantly higher yield of total phenolic and flavonoid content than the conventional extraction method. The conventional method produces a redder but lighter extract than SC-CO2 extraction. SC-CO2 also had a higher antioxidant activity as measured by DPPH radical scavenging. These results suggest that SC-CO2 technology increases the quantity and quality of roselle calyces’ extract. The findings increased the reliability of using this technique to produce high-value products from this high-value plant. Roselle as a low-cost sustainable local crop source, as well as SC-CO2 as a clean energy process with low environmental impact, excellent solvent recyclability, and reduced chemical use, could increase the market value of antioxidant-rich extract.

Published: February 2023

Sustainable energy has become the main agenda globally. Among the renewable energy (RE) sources, solar provides huge potential in electricity production due to the abundance of sun radiation. As tropical country Malaysia enriched with solar radiation the whole year. This paper aimed to study the environmental perspective towards solar installation in the UUM campus building. Climate change sharply decreased by implementing the solar photovoltaic (PV) system up to 91.2 % compared to the conventional source of electricity supply. The global warming impact of solar panel installation was in the range of 44.74 to 178.99 g CO2EQ / kWh. The most contributing process towards this impact was transportation. Installation PV in UUM campus, could avoided carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to 996 ton of waste recycled instead of landfilled or 47583 tree seedlings grown for ten years. Hopefully, the result encourages stakeholders to consume solar power as the primary source of renewable energy components on the way to achieving the Malaysia government’s target of 50% RE in electricity generation.

Published: February 2023

Concrete Paving Block (CPB) is made by mixing sand, gravel, cement, and water and is used in non-traffic and traffic areas. The CPB is proposed in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and materials. The demand for the CPB is increased in line by increasing in residential houses and building construction, and infrastructure activity. The advantages of CPB when compared with the rigid and flexible pavement is a more beautiful and interactive surface, fast-paced production without high technology equipment or skilled worker, and also creating a balanced humidity. Nowadays, concrete using waste materials such as cement, sand, or gravel replacement becomes more popular which supported the sustainable development requirement and goal. The replacement activity of concrete ingredients for promoting waste material with low carbon content in CPB is also part of the sustainable development programme which reduced the environmental impact of the waste material or production of natural concrete ingredients and cost production. With the intention of the issue, the CPB using bottom ash (BA) which is washed to reduce the carbon content is produced and tested for skid resistance, water absorption, and mechanical behaviour. The chemical and physical behaviour of WBA is conducted and shown the suitability to replace sand in CPB. The compressive strength of WBA with 100% of sand replacement in CPB illustrates the maximum load and compressive strength of approximately 1198.35 kN and 30.73 MPa and is appropriately used for paving blocks.

Esta nota técnica discute os impactos das medidas recentes adotadas pelo governo federal para enfrentamento da crise desencadeada pela pandemia do SARS-Covid para o programa de subsídio tarifário para famílias de baixa renda denominado ‘Tarifa Social de Energia Elétrica’ (TSEE), que compõe uma das políticas sociais custeadas pela Conta de Desenvolvimento Energético (CDE). A CDE é financiada por meio de uma contribuição compulsória que incide sobre todas as faturas de energia elétrica residenciais e industriais do país, constituindo assim um instrumento de subsídio cruzado ao consumo de energia elétrica pelas camadas mais pobres da população brasileira. Os beneficiários desse programa se encontram identificados na base Sistema de Controle de Subvenções (SCS), de propriedade da Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL), que constitui a principal fonte de dados para as análises realizadas neste trabalho.
Pandangan Rasul Paulus terhadap Penganiayaan yang Dialami Orang Kristen
Authors: Nessy Jeffry Octavianus
Published: February 2023

This article discusses the persecution of believers based and experienced by Paul. As the Lord Jesus has been persecuted, so believers as followers of Christ will be persecuted. Throughout the history of Christianity,it has been proven that believers often experience obstacles and suffering in carrying out their worship. For believers the persecution is not a defeat or even punishment, but a victory. The inhibition and suffering experienced by believers is certainly known by God. God has such a wonderful purpose that he allows the persecution of His children. The purpose is for the glory of Christ to mature believers spiritually, to create the unity of the body of Christ, the church is growing, and evangelism is growing to win souls for the glory of His name. The progress of the gospel is not determined by any circumstances or anyone’s motivation because what the Lord has opened, no man can ever shut.Artikel ini membahas tentang penganiayaan terhadap orang percaya dan yang dialami oleh Paulus. Sebagaimanana Tuhan Yesus telah dianiaya, demikian juga orang-orang percaya sebagai pengikut Kristus akan dianiaya. Di sepanjang sejarah kekristenan terbukti bahwa orang-orang percaya sering mengalami penghambatan serta penderitaan dalam menjalankan ibadahnya. Bagi orang percaya,penganiayaan bukanlah merupakan suatu kekalahan atau bahkan hukuman, melainkan kemenangan. Penghambatan dan penderitaan yang dialami oleh orang percaya tentu diketahui oleh Allah. Allah mempunyai maksud yang indah sehingga ia mengijinkan terjadinya penganiayaan terhadap anak-anak-Nya. Tujuan itu adalah untuk kemuliaan Kristus yang mendewasakan orang-orang percaya dalam rohani, mencipakan kesatuan tubuh Kristus, gereja semakin bertumbuh, serta penginjilan yang semakin berkembang untuk memenangkan jiwa bagi kemuliaan nama-Nya. Kemajuan Injil tidak ditentukan oleh situasi apapun atau motivasi siapapun karena apa yang sudah Tuhan bukakan, tidak ada siapapun juga yang akan bisa menutupnya.

Perilaku Merokok dalam Pandangan Islam
Authors: Nadira Tatya Adiba  , Arsanti Meilan
Published: February 2023

Merokok merupakan perilaku atau kebiasaan yang sangat umum di Indonesia. Namun, dalam jangka panjang, perilaku ini sangat berbahaya bagi kesehatan karena kandungan dalam rokok dapat menyebabkan berbagai masalah kesehatan. Dalam satu dekade ini terjadi peningkatan signifikan jumlah perokok dewasa sebanyak 8,8 juta orang, yang awalnya 60,3 juta pada tahun 2011 menjadi 69,1 juta perkokok pada tahun 2021 yang tercatat dalam survei Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS). Walaupun banyak masyarakat sudah menyadari bahaya dari rokok, namun peminat rokok khususnya di Indonesia kian bertambah tiap tahunnya. Permasalahan mengenai meningkatnya pengguna rokok tidak kunjung henti dan selalu menimbulkan pro dan kontra terhadapnya. Tinjauan mengenai hukum Islam tentang rokok juga dapat menjadi salah satu faktor jumlah konsumsi rokok. Saat ini, pengurus Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) mengharamkan rokok atas dasar akibat yang ditimbulkan oleh rokok lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan manfaat yang diberikan oleh rokok, namun beberapa ulama lain memiliki pandangan yang berbeda dengan memakruhkan rokok karena ulama-ulama tersebut tidak menemukan dalil yang mengharamkan rokok. Tujuan : Mengetahui pengaruh pandemi dan hukum Islam terhadap perilaku merokok. Metode : Jenis penelitian ini adalah literature review yang diambil dari sumber Al-Qur’an dan Hadits, jurnal internasional, jurnal nasional terdahulu, serta buku.

Authors: Chareyron Sylvain , L’Horty Yannick , Petit Pascale
Published: February 2023

Dans le domaine de la politique de la ville et des discriminations, le rapprochement entre recherche et décision est non seulement possible mais éminemment souhaitable, au double profit des chercheurs et des acteurs. En particulier, les progrès de la recherche expérimentale sur la mesure des discriminations, avec les méthodes de testing scientifiques, offrent de nouvelles perspectives pour les acteurs de la politique de la ville. La recherche permet de produire des mesures localisées et répétées, ouvrant la voie à l’usage du testing comme outil de pilotage et d’évaluation de l’action publique dans le champ de la lutte contre les discriminations.
De quoi le toxique est-il le nom ?
Authors: Leguil Clotilde
Published: February 2023

Que nous indique le privilège que prend ce terme « toxique » dans la langue que l’on parle ? Comment interpréter cette récurrence, cet éternel retour du mot « toxique » pour dire une modalité de la souffrance, une mauvaise expérience, une rencontre aux effets de poison, jusqu’à son extension au domaine de l’écologie et de la politique ? Le terme « toxique » tente de dire de façon nouvelle ce qui ne va pas, ce qui cloche, ce qui met à mal notre désir. « Toxique » est le nouveau nom du malaise dans la civilisation.
William Faulkner et le poids de la Faute
Authors: Moaté Laura
Published: February 2023

William Faulkner (1897-1962), né et mort dans le Mississipi, est une figure majeure de la littérature américaine, du roman « du Sud » en particulier. Prix Nobel de littérature, il s’illustre comme maître dans l’art du monologue intérieur, également dans le polar, la nouvelle ou encore le scénario. Imprégné par les paysages, les odeurs et les cataclysmes de sa terre natale, son œuvre se déroule principalement au sein du comté imaginaire de Yoknapatawpha, héritier de la guerre de Sécession (1861-1865), de l’esclavage, mais aussi havre d’une nature luxuriante et d’une terre fertile. Ses romans constituent un vaste témoignage des contradictions du Sud, toujours tragiques et jamais dépassées.
