Recently, the modernization of traditional markets has become one of the development agendas in every city. However, modernizing traditional markets tends not to favour the lower middle class and traditional traders as the main actors in traditional markets. Traditional traders are increasingly marginalized, and more modern traders replace their roles. In the case of conflict between Blimbing market traders and the Malang City Government, it was initiated because the policies issued by the Malang City Government were considered one-sided and detrimental to market traders. Even though the Malang City Government has made Project Agreement with Karya Indah Sukses.Co.Ltd, but the Blimbing market traders still refuse the revitalization project. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study on the Blimbing traditional market in Malang City. The results showed that the revitalization policy of the Malang City Government had received resistance from the Association of Blimbing traditional market traders. But the, conflict resolution is carried out persuasively through; negotiation, mediation, and advocacy, in the hope of obtaining a mutually beneficial solution between the parties involved in the conflict. With the strengthening of social capital, the association of market traders succeeded in preventing the implementation of market development policies that could harm traders and received support and sympathy from various parties. In the end, the Malang City Government changed the policy direction by choosing alternatives to revitalize the development of the traditional market of Blimbing.
People's Advocate or Parliament's Advocate? Some considerations concerning the effects of the Constitutional Court of Romania's Ruling no.455/2021
Authors: Popa Nicolae-Alexandru
Published: January 2023

The study gravitated around the institution of the Ombudsman or Avocatul Poporului – the name that the Romanian constituent opted. The constitutional regulation can be found in Chapter IV of Title II - "Fundamental rights, freedoms and duties", and not in Title III - "Public authorities". The constituent legislator regulated the People’s Advocate institution distinctly and beyond the three powers - legislative, executive and judicial, with the aim of supporting the achievement of balance of powers in the state, for the benefit of individuals and of their rights that People’s Advocate is required to defend. On June 16th, 2021, the Romanian Parliament, during the joint session of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, adopted Decision no. 36/16.06.2021 for the revocation of Mrs. Renate Weber from the position of People's Advocate. After the day on which the People's Advocate was revoked from her position, one of the parliamentary parties filed an unconstitutionality notification concerning Parliament Decision no. 36/2021, registered at the Constitutional Court of Romania under number 5118 of June 17th, 2021, thus constituting File no. 2097L/2/2021.

Published: January 2023

One of the achievements in the field of education development in recent years is the emergence and development of digital libraries. This term began to be used in the late 80s in foreign publications in connection with the development of Project Gutenberg in 1971. This process is intensively developed and improved to this day. Depending on the level of development of the state (availability of high-speed Internet, financing of institutions, etc.), this process develops at different rates around the world and involves various public and private institutions. Digital libraries have become even more important during the COVID-19 pandemic as researchers and readers have been able to access vast amounts of resources at any time of the day during this challenging period when people have been confined to their homes. To date, the presence of an electronic library in the university has become an indicator of its respectability. There are certain criteria for university libraries, so they must cover scientific, educational and methodological literature in all taught disciplines. The main advantage of digital libraries is the confidence that they will deliver information better than it was in the past. At the same time, the creation and development of electronic libraries encounters a number of problems and difficulties. First of all, at present there is no clear understanding of what an electronic library is, what information systems should be attributed to this class, what are the requirements and evaluation criteria for them. In this article, we will analyze the emergence and development of the digital library, reveal the main obstacles to its development based on the creation of a technological model for the library of the Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction and the electronic library of the Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts in Turkey.

And "has become a feature of the times" (Abboudi, 2013)

In this study, we dealt with a topic that aims to identify and limit the most important indicators of mountain tourism in the Jabal Mesaad region using the Delphi technique. This technique was applied through two gradual phases, where the first phase included an open questionnaire question aimed at testing the pulse of experts in determining the indicators they deem appropriate for the development of tourism in mountain areas within the framework of sustainable tourism. After analyzing the various responses received in the questionnaires, we obtained (52) indicators according to the economic, social and psychological dimensions of tourism.

(39) indicators that comply with the conditions required in the second phase were selected and accepted, including (19) indicators of the environmental dimension dominating the rest of the indicators, followed directly by the indicators of the economic dimension with (10) indicators, then the indicators of the social dimension with (10) indicators. According to the criteria adopted by the World Tourism Organization, we note that all indicators, both quantitative and qualitative, have the characteristics of à good index.

Published: January 2023

The aim of this research is to find out the level of mobbing experience of teachers working in educational institutions and to determine the network characteristics of both the social networks of the organizations where mobbing behavior is common and the participants in these networks. The target population of the research consists of teachers working in a province in Türkiye. The sample of the population was determined by cluster sampling method. In total, 376 teachers in 30 schools were reached, but 11 questionnaires were removed during the pre-analysis data scanning phase, and the remaining 365 questionnaires were analyzed. “Negative Acts Questionnaire” and “Social Network Analysis Questionnaire” were used as data collection tools in the research. SPSS 21.0 and UCINET 6 statistical package programs were used for the analysis of the data obtained in the research, and "frequency", "mean" and "multi-network measurements" were used in data analysis. As a result of the research, it is determined that the average level of mobbing experience of teachers in the organizations participating in the research is low. In addition, three organizations where mobbing is common is determined and the social network structures of these organizations is examined. It is observed that the average degrees and network densities are generally low in these organizations. In addition, these organizations generally show a low level of transitivity. In addition, it is evaluated that some of the participants in the social networks of these organizations may be victims of mobbing, considering that they have a low overall degree. As a support to this finding, it is observed that the participants in question have higher internal and external closeness, low betweenness and low eigenvector values compared to other participants in the organization.
Communication and the first steps towards the electronification of labour relations?
Authors: Homer Zuzana , Madleňák Adam
Published: January 2023

This academic paper deals with current changes to Slovak legislation in connection with the transposition of the European directive on transparent and predictable working conditions. Both authors primarily concentrate on two newly established rights related to communication between employees, employee representatives, and employers and the right to electronic communication in the business sphere between the subjects of social relations, including the right to feedback. We pay specific attention in particular to the expected impact on applied practice, which often corresponds to the authors' legal considerations of de lege ferenda. The key paradigm of the author's interpretation consists in the analysis of success in introducing a new model of communication into the more or less traditionalist approach between the subjects of labour relations, including the impact on their rights and legitimate interests.

Authors: Theodoratou Maria , Gkintoni Evgenia , Farmakopoulou Ignatia
Published: January 2023

Neurocognitive functions play a decisive role in neurodevelopmental disorders affecting the quality of life of individuals with corresponding diagnoses or clinical indications. In addition, the parameter of executives and their subcategories, such as cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibition, as well as the possibility of their optimization through special treatment and training, have been extensively studied in the literature over the past several decades. The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of a decade's worth of review studies on executive functions and quality of life in developmental spectrum disorders. Given the genetic heterogeneity and polymorphism of the neurodevelopmental disorder profile and the overlap of outcome parameters, the findings of review studies must be more consistent in explaining causal factors and the efficacy of interventions. Nonetheless, innovative therapeutic approaches and their individualization hold promise for bridging this gap, with the aim of enhancing the quality of life for individuals in this diagnostic category and their close relatives.

Authors: AL Abdullah Mohammed Jasim Mohammed , Alyaseen Ahmed Abd Alkareem Mohammed , Faez Hasan Mohammed
Published: January 2023

Measures, especially efficiency measures, are crucial and pivotal in determining a company's performance level and financial health, as well as the extent to which they are reflected in other indicators. This study investigates the extent to which the company’s efficiency measure (working capital) contributes to achieving returns for the period 2009-2018. Therefore, it assumes that the efficiency measure (working capital) does not contribute to achieving the cumulative abnormal return. This study drew several findings, the most crucial of which is the rejection of the hypothesis of the study and the acceptance of the alternative hypotheses, which can be summed up as the efficiency measure (working capital) contributing to achieving the cumulative abnormal return. The study has concluded a set of recommendations, including the need to raise awareness of working capital as a major contributor to achieving a distinct type of stock returns.
A constitutional perspective on the connection between the state and the economy. Implications of the fundamental right in a decent standard of living
Authors: Niță Anca Jeanina
Published: January 2023

Starting from an indisputable reality, namely that the numerous global and interconnected crises (pandemic crisis, biodiversity crisis, economic crisis and energy crisis, etc.) exacerbate the cost of living crisis and affect the right to a decent standard of living in all states of the world, the present study proposes a "radiography" of the decent standard of living in Romania - between the constitutional consecration and the social reality. The coordinates of the state-economy connection and of the standard of living in the consecration of the Romanian Constitution are presented. It starts from the proclamation of Romania - by the very article 1 of the Constitution, as a "governed by law, democratic and social state" and the provisions of art. 47-"Standard of living" and of art. 135 "Economy" are briefly analysed. Statistical data and conclusions from the "Social report: Quality of life during the pandemic: problems and response policies. A synthetic point of view" are highlighted. The cost of living crisis in Romania is observed from the point of view of the data provided by the study on the quality of life and social well-being - 2022, carried out by Social Progress Imperative with the support of Deloitte and by the conclusions expressed by the People's Advocate in the "Special report on respect of the right to work and the social protection of work", published on January 26th, 2022. It is stated that the Romanian state continues to be, in the social sphere and from the point of view of turning the fundamental right to a decent standard of living into reality, the "poor relative" of the developed states of the European Union, that the policy of the "small" state is largely responsible for the vulnerability of our society in the current crisis and - as a possible solution aimed at contributing to the effectiveness of the right to a decent standard of living, the opinion according to which: "The quality of life in a governed by law, democratic and social state, a quality of life which is generated by fundamental social rights, should be declared, by law, a component of national security and of the safety of the person, as a human being" is appropriated.
The deterioration of residential neighborhoods and the challenges of developing them in Algerian cities. A case study of a neighborhood of 600 dwellings in the city of M’sila

Urban planning demands that the needs and problems resulting from the dynamics of society and its development should be taken into account, relying on the studies that consider the reality of the city and the factors influencing its daily life, so it can perform its function under favorable circumstances for a better future within the context of durable development. It should be remembered that the first imbalances of the urban space are those that followed the industrial revolution and the doctrines and intellectual trends. However, the modern trend in architecture and urbanization in terms of urban space is the most influential. Urban space becomes a scene of symbolic confrontations between the designer (imposed plans) and the users of space. This situation appears clearly in the deterioration of the urban space giving a significant transfer of a denial, because of its incompatibility with the needs of the population. The Algerian city has experienced, particularly after the independence, the same situation despite the diversity of cultural and cultural heritage because of several factors, including rapid urban growth. These factors marked the course of the reconstruction and thus the urban structure of the Algerian cities, which urged the search for solutions, hastily put in place, to this evolution which led to changes in the society, testifying a blatant failure to reach the ambitions of users when they were excluded during all stages of the urban project. This is why urban space is considered as consumer goods within the user's reach, although it should be considered as a process rather than a product. Our research work is axed on the inadequacy of the productive environment (living environment or urban space) in the city of M'sila and on the way of life of the population that uses this space for its needs and aspirations, which are expressed through unjustified user interventions in the perspective of adapting space to their way of life. The point is to focus on the user and his participation in the creation of a durable and suitable urban environment.

The phenomenon of media communication constitutes one of the essential characteristics of society. Without communication, society could not function. The Church cannot avoid the use of means of communication, for the simple reason that its mission is masterfully described by St. Apostle Paul who says: ". . . I have become all things to all, that I may save some." (1 Cor 9, 22). Therefore, an essential aspect of media communication in the Church is to make ourselves understood by the audience as well as possible. In this context, we will analyze what are the demands of cultural-missionary communication, so that the cultural and missionary values of the Church fulfill the meaning of their existence.

Published: January 2023

Few studies have examined the annually increasing cases of violence against the elderly in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of protection and propose a theoretical strategy to minimize violence against the elderly. It used a normative approach to examine Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence and Law Number 13 of 2008 on the Elderly Welfare as protection indicators. The findings showed that the elderly needed preventive and repressive legal protection. This means it is important to protect the elderly against violence by resecting them regardless of gender. Therefore, efforts should be made to protect the elderly from neglect as part of domestic violence by changing laws and regulations related to the substance and mechanisms for legal protection.

Urban development and peri-urbanization in the Hodna Region. Fragmentation of urban space; City of M'sila
Authors: Zohra Oudina Fatima , Khalfallah Boudjemaa
Published: January 2023

The shift and changes that are happening in  the world—and Algeria in particular—is rooted in urban existence. The significant changes in social structures and lifestyles have resulted in rapid, vast, and even violent urbanisation during the past few decades. The urbanisation of our cities is no longer a reality that can be proven, claim the many studies looking into the issue. The periphery developed as a result of urban expansion, which allowed these cities to expand past the boundaries that colonisation left behind after independence.In this regard, it was considered worthwhile to present this paper that challenges the structure of the Algerian city using the example of the city of M'sila, which is located in the Hodna region and has a structural framework characterised by discontinuities and a spatial expansion. Moreover, typo-morphological; the term "suburbanization" has been used increasingly commonly to describe this tendency. The question of urban fragmentation is fundamentally raised by this type of "fragmented" urbanisation. The obvious question is: How are the cities distributed? Is the spread unified in both time and place?

Urbanization and the economic, social and environmental development of the city in Algeria are based on urban planning instruments. These instruments, once approved by the different deconcentrated directions of the state as well as the associations, become opposable to third parties and move directly to their implementation on the ground. To ensure the habitability of urban spaces, these urban planning instruments, whether approved, in the process of being approved or not yet launched, must have the characteristics of efficiency and profitability. The question that arises is how to ensure this efficiency and profitability of the instrument? In order for these instruments to meet these characteristics and be equal to the urban changes and needs of tomorrow, the use of good management of the instrument is essential, but this management can only be ensured through the establishment of a grid of indicators that will serve as a tool for monitoring and evaluating the degree of effectiveness and profitability of the instrument at the time of its execution. In the event that the instrument does not meet a given need, a decision will be taken to ensure its proper management, effectiveness and profitability.

The rural habitat in the Aures region is an excellent example on vernacular and human architecture. It reflects how inhabitants of this region responded to their requirements in an ingenious way and how local builders have succeeded to respond to challenges of climate, building materials and cultural expectations despite the particularly harsh environmental conditions of the Aures. The aim of this study is to determine the strategies used in vernacular constructions to deal with the severe climatic conditions that prevail in the Aures region. Precisely, rural dwellings in Ain Zaatout village (Beni Ferah) were studied to emphasize the importance of the architectural properties of the traditional houses in terms of thermal performance and climatic adaptability. In this regard, an extensive literature review was carried out on previous studies that investigated the Aures settlements. Accordingly, a comprehensive knowledge on typical Aurassien village and various data including spatial organisation, architectural characteristics and construction materials and techniques have been gathered. Based on this background, a qualitative analysis supported by field measurements was conducted. Then, two representative houses were selected as case studies for monitoring comfort parameters in summer period. Finally, the traditional and contemporary houses were compared in terms of their thermal performance. Through this study, the most frequently used strategies and their effectiveness were derived. The results indicate that vernacular rural habitat in the Aurassien villages is creatively adapted to the environmental conditions and uses various climate responsive strategies. The study additionally reveals that vernacular constructions in the Aures are more adapted to the climate constraints and social needs than contemporary residential buildings. These results were confirmed by hydrothermal values where main indoor temperature in a traditional rural house was less than external values by 3 °C and more humidified, while in modern house indoor temperature records were more than the exterior by 1°C. Thus, vernacular climatic responsive strategies must be considered as a reference for nowadays environmental issues in rural areas. Moreover, they can be feasible for contemporary buildings and, consequently, they could contribute greatly towards improving indoor thermal comfort whilst reducing buildings energy demand.

Literacy and Numeracy will be the main components in the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) as a substitute for the National Examination. This minimal ability consists of the ability or quality of literacy in a person in which there is the ability to read, write, and also recognize and understand ideas visually (literacy), the ability to apply number concepts and arithmetic skills in everyday life and interpret quantitative information that is around us, this ability is evidenced by a sense of comfort with numbers and cleverness in applying mathematical skills (numeration). The data was collected by the researchers directly from SDN Gading Kulon II Probolinggo Regency, including: a) Class AKM Pretest, which is a test before implementing literacy and numeracy that provides questions obtained from the Motivation application provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture. (b) Observation, how to collect data by direct observation of learning activities in class on the object to be studied. (c) Documentation of how to collect data includes archives, archives and photos related to the problem under study. (d) Posttest AKM Class, contains questions regarding literacy and numeracy which are also obtained from the Motivation application provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The results showed that the scores obtained by students increased after the implementation of literacy and numeracy. The data obtained in table 2 shows a significant increase compared to table 1 data. The percentage of success in table 2 is for literacy 95% to achieve completeness and for numeration 89% to achieve completeness.

Purpose: Tomato is one of the most popular and versatile vegetables in the world and organic production with high yields of desirable quality are a target of many producers. However, the yield of tomatoes in Uganda are low compared to other parts of the world. The reason is that most soils in Uganda are low in fertility. There is widespread soil degradation, due to massive soil erosion resulting into loss of organic matter, high soil acidity and nutrient imbalance hence low crop yields. This study aimed at establishing the effect of different poultry manure on the performance of tomatoes.

Methodology: The field trials were conducted in the mid altitude environment at BSU farm. Four treatments which included broiler, Layer, combination of Broiler and Layer chicken manure and the control were applied. The study was carried out in a randomized complete block design replicated four times. Measurements were made on number of leaves, number of flowers, plant height, fruit weight, fruit size, number of tomatoes and yield per hectare. Broiler and layer chicken manure increased the number of leaves, plant height number of flowers, number of fruits, fruit weight and fruit size significantly.

Findings: The results indicate that poultry manure is very rich in macro nutrients. Among the treatments, broiler and layer chicken manure gave the highest fruit yield of 13.8 and 13.4 tons per hectare (t/ha) respectively. A combination of the manure produced 12.8 t/ha and the control treatment gave the lowest yield of 8.1 tons per hectare (t/ha). There was no significant difference between broiler and layer chicken manure. Both manures were equally good and enhanced yield. Therefore, farmers may opt for either of the two depending on the availability.

Recommendation: The study recommend that either broiler or layer chicken manure can be used for production of tomato in order to achieve high yields.
