Authors: Subhani Waseem , Saif Afifa , Naz Muhammad Azeem , Nazir Muhammad Umair , Aslam Sumaira
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Purpose: The evolution of e-wallets in Pakistan has been significant and moulded by technological progress, consumer behaviour changes, and regulatory measures. This study aims to explore the factors that influence the behavioural intention to use e-wallets in Pakistan, considering the mediating effect of facilitating conditions (FC) between perception usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PE), and behavioural intention.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A primary research approach, including a quantitative survey among e-wallet users across Pakistan, is employed.
Findings: The findings of the research suggest that all independent variables have a direct impact on dependent variables. Furthermore, facilitating conditions mediate the relationship between perceived ease of use and behavioural intention. However, the relationship between PU and behavioural intention is determined not to be mediated by FC.
Research Limitations/Implications: The study enriches the literature by providing a deeper understanding of the interplay of such factors that affect e-wallet adoption in Pakistan and also provides some policy implications to policymakers and industry stakeholders to promote the adoption and usage of e-wallets in the country.

Published: August 2024

The study aimed to analyze gender disparity in self-medication practices among nurses in private and public hospitals across diverse departments and assess personal and professional factors driving self-medication. The study followed a Cross-sectional Quantitative research design. The respondents were male and female nurses aged 18-50 from Public and Private Hospitals in Multan. Using a multistage sampling method, two public and two private hospitals were selected through simple random sampling from a pool of 16 hospitals in Multan City. One hundred fifty respondents were selected using purposive sampling, specifically targeting nurses actively doing their jobs. The data was gathered by survey method using a self-administered structured questionnaire, which included specific constructs measured using a 5-point Likert scale that ranged from strongly agree to disagree strongly. Univariate analysis, i.e., frequencies and percentages, was conducted using SPSS. A bivariate study used an Independent Sample t-test to ascertain the mean difference between two variables, specifically gender and hospital type. As part of the multivariate analysis, Multiple Linear Regression was used to determine the effect of different professional and personal factors on self-medication practice. ANOVA was applied to analyze the variance in self-medication practices among nurses posted at different departments. Most nurses practice self-medication for various diseases, with private hospital nurses being more interested than government nurses, and female nurses practicing self-medication more than males. Professional and personal factors had a significant impact on self-medication practices. Findings suggested that nurses should be educated about health literacy, coping methods, and self-medication behaviors to create a supportive environment for open discussions and monitoring procedures.

Published: August 2024

The objective of our study is to explore the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and teacher attitudes towards technology adaptation and attendance. We take the 18 Educational institute data from the school education department from January 2020 to January 2021 to fulfil this objective. Our research is based on secondary data. Data is collected physically from the school information system and the Punjab Information Technology Board. The analysis is carried out through EViews using regression analysis. Our results show that COVID-19 has no significant relationship with teacher attendance. Teacher learning objectives and the COVID-19 pandemic have a significant negative relationship, which means that COVID-19 affect the learning process. Teacher adaptation towards technology has no significant relationship with the COVID-19 pandemic. Teacher training and development, teacher experience and age significantly positively impact teacher attendance, technology adaptation and attaining learning objectives. Teacher gender has a significant positive impact on teacher attendance and attaining learning objectives, but it has a negative relationship with technology adaptation in male teachers.  Our research is helpful for the government and policymakers in terms of adapting technology and attaining learning objectives.
Analyzing the effect of PQ4R learning intervention on learning outcomes and retention of slow learner students across the reading phase
Authors: Batool Aqsa , Sultan Sarwat , Shafiq Mehvish
Published: August 2024

Challenges related to inadequate learning outcomes and retention among slow learner students necessitate introducing innovative solutions within the educational process. Therefore, the study analyzed the effect of PQ4R learning intervention on learning outcomes and retention of slow learners across the reading phase using the experimental method with a mixed between-within repeated measure design. The slow learner students (n=20) were selected purposively. The participants were randomly assigned to 4 groups: three experimental groups who used the PQ4R learning strategy across the reading phase (before, during, and after reading) and one control group who did not apply PQ4R across the reading phase. Learning outcomes and retention were parameters in the form of multiple-choice questions measured over three times in a pretest, posttest, and follow-up period. A mixed Between-Within ANOVA was used to analyze the significance of students' learning outcomes over time. The findings proved that PQ4R learning intervention had a significant positive effect on the learning outcomes of experimental groups over time, and participants in the experimental groups scored higher in the post-test than the control group. Moreover, PQ4R learning intervention also significantly affects the retention of students' learning outcomes over time. Hence, consistent exposure to PQ4R learning intervention over time can lead to more sustainable improvements in slow-learner students' learning outcomes.

Authors: Yuzkovets Iryna , Krasov Oleksandr
Published: August 2024

Non-traditional forms of physical culture and sports activities, characterised by dynamism and the possibility of variable use at any time of the year, on many sites, and with different levels of physical and special preparation, are becoming more and more relevant among student youth. The game “basketball 3x3” has great potential for the development of both physical and personal qualities in students. The goal was to reveal the main characteristics of the game “basketball 3x3” and conduct an experiment to determine the feasibility of its use in the process of physical education for student youth. Based on the generalisation of data from the scientific and methodological literature, it was established that 3x3 basketball is the most dynamic of all types of basketball (the game lasts 10 min of playing time, there is no pause in the game after a goal is scored, the time for an attack is up to 12 s, the size of the playground is reduced, and there are a smaller number of players). After the conducted pedagogical experiment, it was established that classes using a new type of motor activity, “basketball 3x3”, had a positive effect on the development of the physical qualities of female students in the experimental group and could be introduced into the educational process at a higher educational institution. According to the results of the survey, it was established that 65.3% of students have a desire to play 3x3 basketball and participate in competitions. Based on the results of the ascertainment experiment, the initial level of physical development of female students was established, and the number of forms of physical exertion that will be applied in the formative experiment was determined. It was established that regular 3x3 basketball classes have a positive effect on the development of the physical abilities of female students in the experimental group. It is proposed to include this type of motor activity in the students’ learning process because it will have a positive effect on the development of physical qualities, increase the level of technical preparation, and strengthen their health. According to the results of the pedagogical experiment, it was established that 3x3 basketball is an effective means of physical education for students. The results of the study can be used by physical education teachers at higher education institutions to prepare annual lesson plans

Neste artigo discutiremos a questão da democracia na gestão escolar. Sabemos que muitas escolas não adotam essa prática e assim levantamos algumas possibilidades e alternativas para as escolas iniciarem ações de cunho democrático no espaço escolar. Vivemos um momento onde o “ego” e a vaidade consomem a nossa sociedade, fazendo com que a criação de um espaço escolar democrático se torne ainda mais difícil. Destacamos também a posição do gestor, como ferramenta necessário para a democratização da escola, pois entendemos que o mesmo é o responsável por iniciar o processo democrático e só será consolidado com a participação do todos os seguimentos escolares: pais, alunos e comunidade escolar. Com essa participação podemos descentralizar as decisões escolares, sempre respeitando e analisando as diversas opiniões. Acreditamos nessa debate pois a nossa sociedade ainda peca em princípios básicos de democracia, e transformando a escola, transformaremos a sociedade por completa. Desta forma não pretendemos, nem podemos aqui colocar um ponto final nessa discussão, visto que com o debate que podemos buscar os melhores caminhos que nos levem à uma escola democrática.

Authors: Sousa Ana Paula Cândido de , Azevedo Luciana Cavalcanti de
Published: August 2024

A Libras, língua brasileira de sinais, é reconhecida pela Lei nº 10.436 de 2002 como meio legal de expressão e comunicação da comunidade surda e está em toda sociedade, pois podemos encontrar essa língua visual nas escolas, academias, lazer, tecnologia e turismo, por exemplo. Sabemos, no entanto, que existe uma grande lacuna em relação a muitas expressões que ainda não existem na Libras, em diversos segmentos da sociedade. Logo, o presente trabalho teve como foco o desenvolvimento de um glossário em Libras da cidade de Santa Maria da Boa Vista, no Sertão Pernambucano, com os principais espaços públicos e turísticos. Para o desenvolvimento do trabalho foram adotadas algumas etapas como: mapeamento dos sinais existentes e inexistentes, estudo e criação de novos sinais, reuniões com a comunidade surda local, levantamento de dados, criação dos novos sinais, produção de sinais e elaboração de QR CODE com vídeos sinalizados. Considera-se este trabalho pioneiro na região, uma vez que os resultados, além de promoverem acessibilidade linguística em espaços públicos turísticos para pessoas surdas, amplia o acesso para pessoas ouvintes que buscam ampliar o vocabulário. O trabalho é relevante, pois contribui para disseminar a cultura, história da cidade e a língua de sinais, possibilitando a aceitação e pertencimento local do sujeito surdo visitante e residente da cidade.
REALIZAÇÃO DO PRINCÍPIO DA SUSTENTABILIDADE DO DIREITO AMBIENTAL ATRAVÉS DO CONSUMO COLABORATIVO
Authors: Strebe Patrícia Castellem
Published: August 2024

Changes in social relations have been observed in recent decades. Due to the capitalist process, people are increasingly focused on consumption. This consumer culture, or consumer society, transfers consumer-commodity relations to other areas of human life. With environmental problems caused especially by the production society and hyperconsumption, a new paradigm is being presented in law, especially in Environmental Law, the principle of sustainability. This paradigm aims to apply the law guided by the preservation of life in all its forms and the well-being of current and future generations. In view of this, new consumers have emerged, who no longer adapt to hyperconsumption, seeking alternatives to it. One of these forms is collaborative consumption, which aims to expand old forms of consumption, such as bartering, donations, and loans, with new forms and using technology to reach a greater number of people. From this perspective, collaborative consumption is one of the ways to achieve sustainability.

ARE MUSICIANS FULL OF IT? THE METAPHORICAL AND FIGURATIVE POWER OF SUBCONSCIOUS COPYING IN COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT CASES
Authors: Sanderson Jay , Wiseman Leanne
Published: August 2024

Subconscious copying is copyright infringement. In this paper, however, we argue that claims of subconscious copying in copyright infringement cases have significance beyond legal doctrine. Using the recent United States District Court decision involving Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke’s worldwide hit Blurred Lines as a starting point, we argue that subconscious copying claims have a metaphorical and figurative value that has various dimensions. In this way, claims of subconscious copying draw attention to the creativity, brilliance and genius of musicians. They reinforce the ethereal nature of music creation. They also portray music creation as a burden and a sacrifice, and that only a select few are capable of drawing on their subconscious to create and share music. Perhaps, then, evoking subconscious copying allows musicians to mitigate the harm to their reputation and seek dignity and self-respect; even when they are liable for copyright infringement.
Racist Ideology and Hashtag Activism
Authors: Bowrey Kathy
Published: August 2024

Racist ideology is reproduced in daily communications and in art. Racism is also challenged. In this essay I explore the way ideology is present in Peter Drew’s ‘Monga Khan’ posters — artwork designed to provoke critical reflection about representations of race and Australian identity. Part I discusses the ideological engagement Peter Drew anticipated arising from his art ‘hactivism’ and critical reception of the work. I compare Drew’s oeuvre to 1970–80s protest posters, showing the effects of greater exposure to intellectual property constructs, marketing, and commercial branding on the ambition of art activism. Part II shows how attribution practices in the art world and media connect the politics of hactivist art with commodification. I discuss how ‘Blackness’, represented by Drew in the form of challenge to racialized ideas of Australian identity, functions as Drew’s ‘second skin’, or brand identity. Subaltern voices also challenge the authority of white artists to speak for the ‘Other’, but due to the way today we attribute ownership to image and voice, these protests metamorphise into a passing parade of objectified cultural difference. Part III draws out the implications for law, addressing the socio-legal reproduction of ideology, outside of relations normally identified with the lived experience of law.
Older Persons, the Sustainable Development Goals, and Human Rights
Authors: Bennett Belinda
Published: August 2024

In 2015, the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (‘SDGs’) set new goals and targets for global health and set out the goal to leave no one behind. With populations ageing in many countries, there is a clear need for the interests of older persons to be recognised as a priority in the work towards achieving the SDGs. This article considers the intersection between the SDGs and human rights and how each may contribute to advancing the rights of older persons. It analyses the relevance of the SDGs for older persons, contemporary debates on the rights of older persons, and the importance of data being disaggregated by age.
Regime Change Geopolitics: Obstacles to Freedom and Dignity
Authors: Braithwaite John
Published: August 2024

This essay seeks to honour the anniversary of the Griffith Journal of Law & Human Dignity and its narrative commitment to freedom and dignity. The Journal is a light on law’s hill. I draw attention to a concern where that light should shine more brightly. The argument is that social movement weakness and social democratic sloth in rich countries has allowed regime change machinations (sometimes motivated by a desire to protect democracy) to devastate Indigenous peoples, women through high rates of femicide, and crush democracy. That inattention has fostered cascades of war and crime, and criminalization of markets and of states. The narrative sees the present as a time of some hope for struggles to reverse these tyrannies.
Reformist Tinkering, The Queensland Law of Murder and Other Disasters
Authors: De Pasquale Santo , Howe Adrian
Published: August 2024

Two Victorians, long-term advocates of abolishing the provocation defence, discuss the ramifications of reformist tinkering with the law of murder that stops short of abolition. They register their despair at legislatures that hold fast to the so-called ‘heat of passion’ defence with reference to law reform and cases in Queensland and New South Wales. What, they ask, will it take for these two jurisdictions to enter the twenty- first century and follow all the other Australian states in abolishing a defence well past its use-by date?
Preserving Human Dignity in the Age of Autonomous Weapon Systems
Authors: Nadaradjane Anjali
Published: August 2024

The regulation of autonomous weapon systems has long been a nebulous topic for lawmakers. It has attracted contentious and prolonged debate within the international community, with no sign of a resolution in sight. Among the many dilemmas, is the ethics of autonomous weapons and whether autonomous weapons can ever be developed and regulated in a manner which preserves human dignity. This is rooted in the key tenets of international humanitarian law, particularly the principle of ‘humanity’ which prohibits the infliction of superfluous suffering, injury, and destruction when it is not necessary for military purposes. The issues concerning human dignity are central to discussions on the legality of autonomous weapons which take humans out of the loop because such weapon systems alter the means and methods of warfare in ways that are not encompassed by the traditional laws of war. This article considers these issues and explores the notion of human dignity in the autonomous weapons debate, the concept of ‘meaningful human control’ which has dominated discussions on the use and deployment of autonomous weapons and whether the international community can progress towards a guiding framework for regulating autonomous weapons which incorporates considerations of human dignity and meaningful human control.
A Call for Reform: The Need for An Effective Response to Asbestos in Australian Workplaces and Residential Settings
Authors: North Gill , Wilson Therese
Published: August 2024

This article argues for greater regulatory efforts to prevent unnecessary deaths from asbestos exposure in Australia. Despite asbestos-related diseases being responsible for a large number of deaths in Australia every year, the danger from exposure to asbestos is not well understood in the community and the regulatory response has been inadequate. A survey of 43,000 Australians between April 2020 and May 2021 found that only 28 percent of respondents knew that asbestos is dangerous to health and only 5 percent were aware that once diagnosed, most cases of asbestos-related disease are fatal within relatively short timeframes. Despite the significant risk to Australian lives posed by in situ asbestos, governments have failed to ensure that Australians are accurately informed about that risk, and responsible corporations have not been fully held to account.
Countering Terror: Terrorism Laws, Domestic Violence & the Australian Context
Authors: Walker-Munro Brendan , Walker-Munro Catherine
Published: August 2024

Domestic violence is an insidious choice to use fear, force, control, or coercion. It suppresses the capacity and capabilities of its survivors and 2in violent murder and painful death. Yet despite an emerging discourse that describes domestic violence as a form of “domestic”, “intimate” or “everyday” terrorism, there is a distinct lack of scholarly research on the intersection of laws that apply to both types of offending. Further, there is a lack of understanding about the fundamental typologies of counterterror regulation which could be applied to domestically violent offending. This paper seeks to tackle this gap and provoke discussion in the literature by taking a hypothetical approach to treat domestically violent offenders as security risks in the same way as violent extremists and those with connections to foreign terror organisations.
The Canadian Residential School System: An International Law Failure
Authors: Darwin Brianna
Published: August 2024

The government of Canada set out to completely rid the country of any traces of Indigenous culture, language, and rights. By implementing the Indian Act, it became illegal for an Indigenous child to attend any school other than a Residential School. Further, it deemed truancy a crime to which their parents would be punished by a fine or imprisonment while their children were kidnapped and placed in a Residential School. These schools were in operation in Canada from approximately 1880 to 1996. They wreaked havoc on Indigenous lives and culture, specifically for Indigenous children. This article opens up this chapter of history, and questions Canada’s acts through the prism of the international framework of state responsibility. It puts forth the claim that the churches that ran the schools ought to be deemed as organs of Canada. At the backdrop of this critique is a conversation with other scholars who captured the structural indeterminacies in international law that facilitate maintaining a blind eye toward injustices afflicted against Indigenous people.
Defending the Right to Protest
Authors: Head Michael
Published: August 2024

Amid rising global protests, the right to protest is being increasingly objected to by business interests and curtailed by governments and legislatures. This article contends that confronted by this political reaction, the right to protest can only be defended through mass struggles rather than legal challenges – although these struggles may well include related legal battles. As history suggests, while legal cases may be important at times, ultimately their outcome will be determined by the sway and swell of political social and class forces.
Beyond Bars: Toward Abolitionist Justice In Australia
Authors: Kilroy Debbie
Published: August 2024

This narrative examines the prevailing carceral system in Australia, with a specific focus on Queensland, Victoria, and the Northern Territory. Drawing on firsthand experiences and empirical data, the author challenges the efficacy of punitive measures and the proliferation of prisons as responses to social issues. Through case studies such as the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre in Victoria and Don Dale in the Northern Territory, the narrative underscores the disproportionate impact of incarceration on marginalised communities, particularly First Nations peoples and women. By interrogating the intersections of race, gender, and class within the criminal justice system, the narrative advocates for a paradigm shift towards abolitionist approaches. It explores alternatives to imprisonment, such as Participatory Defence, emphasising community empowerment and restorative justice principles. Ultimately, this narrative calls upon legal professionals and policymakers to engage in transformative justice practices and envision a future devoid of incarceration and punitive systems.
Reflecting on Wrongful Convictions of Women in Australia: Definitions, Debates and Data
Authors: Blewer Robyn , Van Golde Dr. Celine
Published: August 2024

The quashing of Kathleen Folbigg’s convictions in June 2023 caused many to reflect upon the way in which Australian criminal justice systems might judge women. The growing body of research into wrongful convictions of women overseas is developing an understanding of how and why the criminal justice process often fails to consider the experiences of women, incarcerates them – and makes it more difficult for their wrongful convictions to be uncovered and corrected. This article considers that research and applies its findings to known cases of wrongful convictions of women in Australia. The exploratory analysis offered in this article highlights possibilities for further research that will develop a more precise understanding of prosecution processes in Australia, the risk factors for wrongful conviction of women, and the barriers to uncovering wrongful convictions. Understanding these issues will help prevent wrongful convictions and improve pathways to justice.
JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE: SOME RECENT PROBLEMS
Authors: Robertson QC Geoffery
Published: August 2024

Judicial Independence is fundamental to democracy, and lip-service is paid to it by most states. However, it is a fragile reed, beset by problems of political appointments, government favours to compliant judges, prosecution powers over the court (especially in former Soviet countries) and the potential, in Anglo-American countries, for misuse of the removal process of impeachment by populist politicians. This article considers recent examples, and a further problem of funding justice at a time of austerity. It argues that much closer attention must be paid to protecting judicial independence, and suggests ways of naming and shaming the “lickspittle judge”.

SISTERGIRL INSIDE: DOUBLY COLONISED, DOUBLY TRAPPED
Authors: Kane Jeremy
Published: August 2024

The Discriminating Decision in Sinden v State of QLDThat both trans people and Australia’s First Peoples are incarcerated at rates higher than the general population requires that the unique needs of those inmates positioned at the intersection of these oppressions — sistergirls — receive greater attention by legal scholars, the legislature and the judiciary. By deconstructing and critiquing the QCAT decision Sinden v State of Queensland using an intersectional framework grounded in trans theory, the cisnormative and Eurocentric assumptions underlying the dismissal of Thalia Sinden’s anti-discrimination claim will be brought to bear. In doing so it is argued the Queensland Corrective Services’ Procedure — Transgender Offenders is cisnormatively discriminatory against trans inmates, and the tribunal’s endorsement of that procedure itself compounded such discrimination by failing to account for the intersectional complexity of Sinden’s identity. This case makes explicit many of the issues trans inmates face, the cisnormativity of the law, and the ways Anti-Discrimination legislation fails multiply-oppressed people in numerous ways.

PRIVACY PROTECTION AND MEDIA IN AUSTRALIA: UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Authors: Kirby AC CMG The Hon Michael
Published: August 2024

In this article the author surveys the development of legal protections for privacy in publication in jurisdictions of the common law. He explains how, in 1937, the High Court of Australia in Victoria Park Racing and Recreation Grounds Co Ltd v Taylor (1937) declined to endorse a new legal protection for privacy despite developments favourable to that course in United States courts. He then discusses the advent of universal human rights that include privacy protection and work that he performed in the 1970s and 80s in the Australian Law Reform Commission and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, proposing improved privacy protection. Controversies in the courts, including inAustralian Broadcasting Corporation v Lenah Game Meats Pty Ltd (2001) are described, followed by an analysis of recent controversies about media excesses in England and Australia resulting in the Finkelstein Report (2012) and the Leveson Inquiry (2012), both recommending improved protections for privacy. Now the Australian Government is once again considering a federal statutory tort. Would this be desirable or would it be an unjustified burden on free expression in Australia? The author concludes, with some telling illustrations, why protection of privacy is needed, and why the rule of self-regulation on this score should now be ended.
POPULATION: THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM FOR LAWYERS
Authors: Willis Dr Paul
Published: August 2024

Lawyers deal with the consequences of population as they practice law, implement policies, and theorise the law. Yet lawyers do so without reference to, or mentioning population. Instead, questions arising from the increase in global population are largely dealt with in the domains of science. As the effects of population growth begin to appear in operations of the law, this article argues there is an increasing need for lawyers to understand and grapple with issues arising from an increasing population. These issues must be addressed within the contexts of the history of population science and the mechanics of population growth, as well as an appreciation of the current issues arising from high global populations.
FARMERS’ RIGHTS IN AUSTRALIA: COMMUNITY GARDENS MAY BE A WAY IN WHICH A DEVELOPED COUNTRY COMPLIES WITH ITS INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS
Authors: Guitart Daniela , Pickering Dr Catherine , Byrne Dr Jason , Lawson Dr Charles
Published: August 2024

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture provides for farmers’ rights as recognition of the contribution farmers make to the conservation and development of plants for food and agriculture production. This article reports on a pilot study to illustrate how community gardens are one way that farmers’ rights can be realised in a developed country. The study of community gardens in Brisbane and the Gold Coast cities in South East Queensland Australia found that these gardens represent important dynamic reserves of agro-biodiversity and farming practices that are likely to foster the conservation of germplasm that is poorly represented in industrial agricultural practices. Within the matrix of governmental laws, community gardens are a measure that promotes and protects a realised conception of farmers’ rights.
