The customs system of the European Union in the face of the current challenges of customs handling in supply chains
Authors: Świerczyńska Jowita
Published: December 2023

The global environment, with its dynamic and varied changes, creates unstable and demanding conditions for the customs system of the European Union to cope with. The article aims to identify and describe the most pressing challenges to the EU customs system in the context of the customs handling of supply chain actors. The hypothesis for verification is that the EU system is not static in the face of the volatility, uncertainty and ambiguity of the environment; instead, it responds to all challenges arising, so as to ensure guarantee professional customs handling to participants in supply chains. The article is composed of two parts followed by a summary. The first part addresses the role of customs in supply chains; the second part presents the most important challenges to the EU’s customs system directly related to the customs handling of participants in international supply chains. The summary concludes the issues raised in the investigation. The study relies on traditional research methods: deductive reasoning and comparative analysis.
Фактори, що впливають на процес прийняття і реалізації управлінських рішень на підприємствах
Authors: Канюк Олександр
Published: December 2023

У статті висвітлено фактори, які безпосередньо впливають на прийняття відповідних рішень. Встановлено, що серед них можна виділити суб’єктивні та матеріально-технічні. З’ясовано, що недостатнє фінансування — відносне поняття, оскільки не можна зараховувати управлінські рішення до розряду витратних, вони не стосуються закупівлі техніки та нового обладнання. Проте головним чинником є визначення організаційної культури та системи управління. Важливими для більшості керівників є відповідні знання у сфері управління та адміністрування, спеціальна підготовка та вміння застосовувати інновації в управлінні. Доведено, що належне обґрунтування рішення, яке буде ухвалено, є важливим елементом, що зумовлює таке ухвалення. Виявлено умови, які є основними та передують етапам ухвалення управлінського рішення для того, щоб воно було найбільш ефективним. Обґрунтовано, що потрібно кілька кроків для завершення процесу ухвалення, а саме: визначити наявну проблему та мету, яка має бути досягнута; визначити альтернативні варіанти, які допоможуть досягти наявної мети, а також здійснити оцінку таких альтернатив за критерієм можливості досягнення результатів; здійснити всі необхідні дії, які в кінцевому результаті приведуть до практичної реалізації рішення.

Ключові слова: управлінське рішення, основні фактори, керівник, процес прийняття рішень.

Narrativas de la migración. Miedos cruzados y deshumanización
Authors: De Sousa Ferreira Susana , Alonso Riveiro Mónica
Published: December 2023

El miedo es una emoción polimorfa que rodea y constituye los exilios y las migraciones forzadas. Opera, a diversos niveles que se entrelazan, retroalimentan y expanden: los migrantes/exiliados lo experimentan en sus cuerpos; se construye para afectar a los Estados receptores propiciando políticas antimigratorias y securitarias que, a su vez, convierten a los migrantes/exiliados en objeto de miedo. Para adentrarnos en esta complejidad, analizaremos aquí diversos materiales (mediáticos, íntimos, etc.), sus imaginarios, discursos y narrativas y las reacciones que provocan (securitarias y otras) para cartografiar dónde y cómo opera el miedo.
La Diputación Provincial de Ourense (1822-1823): marcos de actuación, diputados y límites para su estudio
Authors: Lozano González Carlos
Published: December 2023

El Decreto LIX de 27 de Enero de 1822 supuso la primera constitución oficial de la provincia de Ourense por parte del liberalismo español. La inestabilidad sociopolítica durante el Trienio Liberal, junto con el posterior regreso al absolutismo, no permitió un desarrollo total y pleno de la Diputación Provincial de Ourense establecida a finales de la primavera de 1822. Los estudios sobre sus actuaciones han quedado limitados por la falta de fuentes, pero una revisión y un análisis de otras omitidas hasta ahora nos han permitido ampliar el conocimiento sobre sus actuaciones y construir una primera biografía política de sus miembros.

Este artigo tem como objetivo revelar a presença do conceito de Unidade de Vizinhança introduzida pela urbanista Carmen Portinho no Departamento de Habitação Popular, órgão público ligado à Prefeitura do Distrito Federal, então no Rio de Janeiro. Os conjuntos habitacionais, como o Pedregulho e Gávea, produzidos por esta instituição, foram considerados pela historiografia como exemplares da habitação moderna no Brasil formalizando a noção de Unidade de Habitação. Neste trabalho, busca-se revelar a presença simultânea da noção de Unidade de Vizinhança através da trajetória profissional da urbanista Carmen Portinho. A partir da revisão bibliográfica e cruzamento com fontes primárias oriundas de pesquisa documental no arquivo pessoal da personagem, cartas e artigos de jornais escritos pela urbanista são analisados e desvelam-se as formas de circulação do conceito de Unidade de Vizinhança assim como sua apropriação e formalização em umasérie de experiências habitacionais evidenciando a dimensão urbana das realizações do Departamento de Habitação Popular dirigido pela urbanista de 1948 a 1960.
Plant Benefit Perceptions Influence Consumers' Likelihood to Buy and Differs across Age Cohorts
Authors: Rihn Alicia L. , Behe Bridget K.
Published: December 2023

Plants provide many benefits (e.g., social, physiological, emotional, mental) but some consumers may be unaware of those benefits. Here, we investigate the effects of social, physiological, and emotional and mental health benefits of plants on consumers’ likelihood to buy (LTB) a plant based on those messages. A sample of 497 Americans participated in an online survey in 2021. All three plant benefit messages increased consumers’ LTB a plant, but differences were observed among age cohorts. Compared to the oldest age cohort (consumers born before 1965), Generation Z (born after 1996) responded most positively to the emotional and mental health benefit message followed by the physiological benefit, but did not respond to the social benefit. Compared to the older cohort, Millennials (persons born between 1981–1996) responded more favorably to all three benefit messages. Generation X (people born between 1965–1980) responded favorably to the emotional and mental health benefit message followed by the social benefit but not the physiological benefit. Generally, as education level and income increased, effects of the plant benefit messages decreased. Respondents who made plant purchases online responded favorably to the emotional and mental health plant benefits. Individuals who did not buy any plants did not respond favorably to any of the plant benefit messages. Plant sellers should employ benefit messages tailored to the age cohort target market(s) for the greatest impact.

Competitive African Rice Initiative: perceptions, utilisation and effectiveness of its practise among rice farmers in Kebbi State, Nigeria
Authors: Thomas Kehinde Adesina , Oyebode Lukman Abiodun , Essien Emen Okon
Published: December 2023

Agricultural extension service in Nigeria is largely public sector driven. Unfortunately, the sector is not operating at its maximum largely due to weak institutional structure and poor extension to farmers’ ratio. As such, smallholder farmers often suffer low productivity and poor product quality. The study therefore examined the perceptions, utilisation and effectiveness of the Competitive African Rice Initiative (CARI) extension practise in Kebbi State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 120 rice farmers enrolled under the initiative in the study area. The data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that the average age of the respondents was 47.8 ± 1.72 years, 76.7% were male and married (73.1%). The study further revealed that the respondents were smallholder farmers (5.6 ± 7.22 acres). Respondent’s perception of CARI was favourable at 72.5% (36 ± 2.8), Rice Advice (x̄ = 1.32) ranked highest at the CARI tool utilised most, while the deployment of CARI extension practise was effective 65.8% (48 ± 3.4). There was a significant association between marital status (χ
2 = 3.242, p = 0.023), utilisation of CARI tools, and effectiveness of CARI in extension practise (r = 0.206, p = 0.001). The study recommends sustained capacity building for enrollees of the initiative to enhance utilisation and ensure optimum effectiveness.
Emotional Transportation and Identification in Screenwriting: A Pilot Study
Authors: Reinola Kirsi
Published: December 2023

Within the academic domain focused on the artistic practice of screenwriting, this exploratory study assesses the presence of emotional transportation and character identification processes within the solitary screenwriter’s creative imagination during the writing process. Screen-writing research is facing a dichotomy of the screenwriter who embodies both the role of a narrative specialist and that of a visual storytelling poet. Screenwriters often work in isolation, even in collaborative projects, leading to a tension between solitary work and collaborative roles. Narrative theories in screenwriting have mainly centered on identification of the audience, neglecting the screenwriter’s perspective. However, screenwriting can serve as a platform for experimentation and a reflection of new ideas, insights, and hands-on experience, meeting the demand for a systematic understanding of the writer’s processes. The results of this study provide preliminary insights into the mechanisms of emotional transportation, identification, and eureka moments in screenwriting practice. The study suggests that the transportation effect in writers is induced by a feeling of security, which arises from the limitations of the assignment. The data also suggests that pressure can lead to more original dramaturgical solutions. As such, this experimental pilot study already sheds light on the screenwriter’s artistic process. Yet, it has limitations, including a small number of informants and the novelty of the research method.
Hierarchical Associative Networks of Family and Values
Authors: Petrič Karl
Published: December 2023

In this research, the opinions about family and values of public administration representatives were examined. Based on online questionnaires, the research sample included 428 civil servants and scientists from various ministries, faculties, schools, libraries, institutes, and municipalities. Opinions in the form of classified data for civil servants were converted into numerical data and presented in networks. It is possible to illustrate various scenarios about diverse types of decision-making processes, within which either feminine or masculine value emphases predominate. The present study has opened an interesting area of research on hierarchical associative networks of family and values. Researching such networks, whether they concern individuals, families, or diverse societies, could support us to improve various decision-making models. Hierarchical associative value networks will play a meaningful role in decision-making in a variety of ways and the upcoming development of the family. Future research could go in the direction of measuring and analyzing hierarchical associative networks of values in specific families and other social environments like within e.g., health, police, industry, military. This would provide an excellent insight into the mental concepts of people and across different social zones (e.g., migration zone, cultural zone, industrial zone, trade zone, government zone).
Media Framing of Human Rights Violations: Unpacking Indian Radical Nationalist Policies
Authors: Idrees Hafiz Muhammad Tahir , Javed Muniza
Published: December 2023

This systematic review examines the media framing of human rights violations, in the backdrop of radical nationalist movements in India. The study focuses on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) governance and its association with a radical nationalist (Hindutva) ideology. The study aims to shed light on the International Media’s criticism of the party’s role in perpetuating anti-minority sentiments and provoking violence against them. Using an integrative review approach, this paper meticulously analyzed 34 selected articles, from research journals and newspapers, published between 2010 and 2022. Thematic analysis was used to identify recurring patterns and key themes related to the BJP’s radical nationalist approach and its impact on minorities. Findings from the existing literature and international media’s reporting reveal the BJP’s transformation from a political organization to a stubborn force, promoting radical nationalist principles to consolidate its power base. Furthermore, analysis shows that the enactment of the discriminatory Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) triggered widespread protests whereas amending Articles 370 and 35A stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its autonomy, which resulted in human rights violations. In conclusion, the media content analysis highlights the human rights concerns due to the BJP’s radical nationalist approach and underscores an urgent need to make such policies that promote co-existence, inclusivity, and social cohesion to foster a pluralistic society.

Published: December 2023

This study explores the impact of a transnational team-based virtual learning experience on students’ self-perceived learning outcomes. The purpose of this research is to identify students’ self-perceived learning outcomes in virtual classrooms and describe the attributes of team members considered valuable for achieving team goals and learning success. Students who participated in a team-based international joint course across three editions from 2020 to 2022 completed reflective learning journals, which served as data collection research instruments. The researchers utilized a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods, along with thematic content analysis, to examine 327 validated source documents. The results revealed that students highly valued the transnational team-based learning activities during the virtual course. Participants highly valued the transnational nature of the course, as it facilitated effective collaboration within international teams and developed cross-cultural understanding skills. The virtual learning environment played a crucial role in enabling cultural exchange and understanding, fostering active participation, and encouraging reflective practice for groups of students from different countries and universities. Additionally, the study emphasized the development of digital skills as students engaged in transnational collaborative online learning using advanced technologies for communication and teamwork across distances. The digital learning environment positively influenced students’ motivation, sense of belonging, and camaraderie. The research identified 16 self- and hetero-identified attributes of team members, deemed valuable by participating students for achieving teamwork goals and learning outcomes. Attributes such as effective communication, collaboration, goal-oriented attitudes, and organizational skills were among the most highly regarded. These findings underscore the importance of transnational team-based virtual learning experiences in preparing students for global labor market demands. The study highlights the significance of fostering collaboration, cultural understanding, and digital literacy skills in educational settings.
Dwelling in the House of the Lord: Virtuous Perfection in Didymus the Blind*
Authors: Sferlea Gheorghe Ovidiu
Published: December 2023

Progress in virtue and perfection are central themes in Didymus the Blind. This article analyzes a series of relevant passages about the concept of perfection in virtue in the writings that have come down to us from the Alexandrian theologian and exegete, in order to clarify its articulations and briefly compare it with the notion of epektasis or endless progress, illustrated by other authors from the East, chief among whom is Saint Gregory of Nyssa. While some recent commentators have argued that Didymus himself was a proponent of epektasis, his texts reveal that he most often inclined to see spiritual perfection in a static way, closely associated to a final limit.
Contacts between the Cistercian Monks and the Christians of the Eastern Rite between the 12th and 13th Centuries*
Authors: Todika Raul–Alexandru
Published: December 2023

The Order of Cistercians was one of the most powerful tools employed by the Apostolic See in order to impose its hierocratic vision as well as its disciplinary regime and to forge the institutional, religious coherence of Christianitas during the 12th and 13th centuries. The main objective of this paper is to bring forward a problematization concerning the Cistercians acting as a means of evangelization in the service of Ecclesia Romana in relation to Christians of the Eastern rite. In order to evaluate this hypothesis, the present article emphasises the perception of the Holy See in regard to the elements external to Latin Christianity, the nature of Cistercian obedience to the Bishop of Rome, and discusses the presence of the White Monks in mediaeval Poland, Banat and Transylvania – border regions of Christianitas where the resurgence of previous beliefs or contacts with the population of the Eastern Christianity matrix were frequent.
Legitimate Multilevel Crisis Management from the Perspective of Human Rights, Minorities, and Non-Discrimination
Authors: Žagar Mitja
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has dominated media and scholarly literature since 2020. The impact(s) of crisis management on democracy, legitimacy, human rights, minorities, marginalized groups, and persons belonging to them are mentioned but seldom the main focus. From the perspective of human rights, protection of minorities, and the principle of non-discrimination in multilevel systems in Europe, the paper discusses certain conceptual, terminological, and methodological problems in studying such complex dynamic phenomena and argues that qualitative approaches might be the most suitable for studying the perceptions of persons belonging to diverse minorities on democracy and the legitimacy of crisis management and governance.
The Socioeconomic Position of National Minorities with a Special Emphasis on Slovenes in Croatia over the Past Thirty Years
Authors: Riman Barbara , Štiglić Natko
Published: December 2023

The article presents the situation of members of the Slovene community in Croatia, focusing on selected aspects of their socioeconomic participation (inclusion) in Croatian society. This topic has not been thoroughly studied yet, firstly due to the low interest of researchers in the position and activities of members of the Slovene community in Croatia, and secondly due to a continuous lack of data on the socioeconomic participation of members of not only the Slovene community but of all minorities in Croatia in general. Based on the analysis of data mainly collected from Croatian official reports, the situation of members of the Slovene minority in Croatia is presented mainly in relation to the exercise of their rights to education and employment.
“At first it was not very pleasant … Now it is different”: Experiences and Challenges of Refugee Integration in Croatia
Authors: Gregurović Margareta , Župarić-Iljić Drago
Published: December 2023

In observing the integration process at a local and neighbourhood level, this paper aims to analyse the integration experiences of asylum beneficiaries (refugees) in Croatia and their relationships with various stakeholders. The analyses are based on data obtained in 2018 by interviewing 25 refugees about their perceptions of living prospects in Croatia. The results indicated that most of the interviewees described their relationships and experiences with state institution officials as mostly negative or challenging, and in some cases discriminatory. Acceptance in local communities was predominantly assessed as positive, although it took a while for refugees to feel accepted.
Preservice Chemistry Teachers’ Preconception on the Topic of Sustainable Development Oriented Plant Pigments Separation

Published: December 2023

One of the important principles in the success of learning activities is that educators need to pay attention to students' preconceptions before designing learning designs, because this will provide direction in compiling learning materials and strategies to achieve learning goals. This study aims to identify the preconceptions of preservice chemistry teachers’ as a basis for developing a didactic design on the topic of plant pigments separation which is one of the materials discussed in analytical chemistry II lectures. This research uses descriptive methods with participants were 36 pre-service chemistry teachers at one of the state universities in Pekanbaru City. This descriptive study used a diagnostic test in the form of an essay which totaled 19 questions. Based on the results of preconception analysis, it was identified that most of the students experienced learning barriers mostly in the following sub-discussions: (1) types of green solvents; (2) benefits of eutectic solvents; (3) the relationship of eutectic solvent with principles of green chemistry; (4) the process of making eutectic solvents; (5) experimental stages of plant pigment extraction; (6) processes that occur during extraction; and (7) extraction techniques. So it can be concluded that students do not yet have sufficient basic knowledge because students are not yet able to answer questions in most contexts on the topic of separating plant pigments
Structuring Japanese editorials along the lines of rhetorical structure annotations: issues and discoveries
Authors: Chironov S. V. , Mozebakh V. A.
Published: December 2023

This paper is a result of a practical experiment in annotating the rhetorical structure of three editorial articles from the leading Japanese newspapers, focused on connectors and their role in the text. Annotation work was carried out along the general lines of existing techniques, at the same time calling for substantial adjustments in both the relations’ taxonomy and orientation, and also the principles of breaking down discourse units. These methodological findings are reviewed in the conclusive part. The main difficulty in representing the overall text structure is whether it can be convincingly represented in the form of a tree (as is expected from a pragmatically organized text). Some in-depth analysis shows that apart from rhetorical relations between discourse units a complex networks of holistic structure (macrostructure), intentional structure, referential network are of not less importance in the unity of the text. Notional structure in the basis of the reader’s comprehension also comes into the bargain, as well as the author’s efforts to influence and direct it overtly or covertly. An RST tree would only be a part of this totality. Appended are tentative graphical representations of an approximated tree structure as well as graphs covering the text’s intentional structure, divided into interconnected layers. This experiment highlighted major peculiarities of a newspaper editorial as one type of text. They are seen as rooted in the pragmatical nature of this genre of language activity, whose principal aim is opinion leadership and of the audience that is highly heterogenous but at the same time capable of detecting and processing sophisticated logical and rhetorical devices. That imposes some structural conditions besides general structure specialties of the Japanese language.

Argot translation in S. Dovlatov’s prose (based on the translation of “Pushkin Hills” and “Craft” into Spanish and Portuguese)
Authors: Mikaelyan Yu. I.
Published: December 2023

Using the example of translations of the novella “Pushkin Hills” and the novel “Craft” into Portuguese (Brazilian national version) and Pyrenean version and Argentine national version of Spanish, the article analyzes the strategies for translating prison slang vocabulary discovered in S. D. Dovlatov’s writings. Prison jargon is an important element of the writer’s idiosyncrasy, and it is found in almost all his texts. For example, Dovlatov often uses prison jargon to define his characters by linguistic means, in their direct speech. The cultural marking of the Russian prison-camp jargon is particularly difficult to translate. Due to historical circumstances in the twentieth century, many lexemes from prison jargon moved into colloquial speech, while maintaining a special expressiveness and connotations. Prison jargon is present in all languages and cultures, however, as a rule, it is used by a rather narrow circle of people, while for people far from the prison environment, the meanings of these jargonisms are unclear. As a result, the translation of jargonisms in which the Russian reader of Dovlatov instantly reads the implicit information referring to the prison environment poses a difficult task for translators, as in most cases there are no connotative equivalents in the translation language. Within the framework of the communicative-functional approach, due to the comparative analysis of translated texts, the article examines the translation strategies used by translators to convey the stylistic originality and expressiveness of prison jargon found on the pages of S. Dovlatov’s works. The analysis of the translated texts has demonstrated that due to the fact that the prison jargon used by the writer mainly refers to the layer of non-equivalent vocabulary, in order to achieve the communicative equivalence of the translation texts, translators turn to both the strategy of foreignization and the strategy of domestication, adapting the text to the culture of translation; often slang and reduced expressions are replaced in translation by stylistically neutral ones; in some cases, translators also turn to free translation (for example, when translating puns). Such translation substitutions inevitably lead to distortions of the author’s intention and to the loss of some expressions of the original text. Nevertheless, the reception of Dovlatov’s works by foreign readers demonstrates that the translation of his prose with at least partial preservation of cultural and stylistic originality is possible.

Authors: Dutra Matheus de Oliveira , Moraes Vitor Hugo Souza , De Almeida Ricardo Santos , Schuck Estefanny Maria de Souza , Neto Edgard Lindesay , Malinkiewicz Alexandre , Araújo Raiana Cristina Simião , Dos Santos Luana Almeida , Da Costa Matheus Gomes
Published: December 2023

Purpose: Through this research, the aim is not only to identify problems but also to provide valuable insights for the formulation of public policies aimed at improving the living conditions and health of these communities, making them more resilient in the face of frequent climatic challenges.
 
Theoretical framework: Floods contribute to the spread of waterborne diseases due to the contamination of water sources and the lack of access to clean water during flooding periods. The presence of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, in flooded environments increases the risk of gastrointestinal diseases, emphasizing the need for integrated approaches to control these illnesses.
 
Method/design/approach: Initially, a comprehensive literature review was conducted on studies related to the impacts of floods on the health of riparian communities, with emphasis on the specific context of the State of Maranhão. Academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) will be consulted to identify relevant research, theories, and concepts associated with the effects of floods on health.
 
Results and conclusion: Among the 46 selected articles, a higher number focused on floods in the riverside communities of Maranhão (n=30). In second place are those related to health, though few include consequences related to floods (n=10). Fewer articles addressed the social and historical-cultural profile, as observed in (Chart 1) (n=6). The integrative review highlights the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the impacts of floods on the health of riverside communities in the State of Maranhão. The evidence presented indicates the need for public policies that address not only immediate challenges but also underlying causes, promoting sustainable interventions centered on communities.
 
Research implications: The main managerial, academic, and social contributions of the research include the clear identification of challenges faced by riverside communities in Maranhão during floods.
 
Originality/value: The study adopts an interdisciplinary approach by not only considering the direct impacts of floods on health but also exploring the social and cultural dimensions of riverside communities. This integration of health, environment, and social sciences enhances the understanding of the challenges faced by these communities.
Effect of Copper/Alumina Hybrid Reinforcement on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Stir Cast Aluminum Alloy AA6063
Authors: Olumide Falana Samuel , Omotuyi Mogbojuri Gabriel
Published: December 2023

The present study investigated the microstructural characteristics and mechanical behavior of hybrid composites with an aluminum matrix reinforced with copper and alumina. To prepare these composites, copper and alumina were mixed in varied weight ratios and added to a 10 wt % hybrid reinforced Al-Mg-Si alloy using a two-step stir casting process. The resulting composites were characterized using hardness, tensile properties, and scanning electron microscopy. The findings reveal that composites with Al-90 %/Cu-7.5 %/ Al2O3-2.5 % and Al-90 %/Cu-5 %/ Al2O3-5 % exhibited the optimum mechanical properties, including hardness and tensile properties. The microstructure of all composites showed the presence of copper particles and Al2O3 reinforcement, which were distributed nearly uniformly throughout the metal matrix despite the presence of pores. The EDS profile of a representative composite showed peaks of aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), carbon (C), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), oxygen (O), manganese (Mn), and traces of calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), and potassium (K). Based on these results, further investigation could be conducted on the wear and corrosion properties of the aluminum alloy when reinforced with copper and alumina.

Hacia la construcción de una historia del libro escolar en Chile (1843-1879). Traducción, apropiación, adaptación, imitación y producción propia
Authors: Soaje de Elías Raquel , Salas Fernández Manuel
Published: December 2023

La década de 1840 marcó para Chile un antes y un después en el ámbito de la cultura en general y de la educación en particular debido a que en este periodo se inició la consolidación de un orden institucional sustentado en principios de corte liberal, como la fundación de la Universidad de Chile y la Escuela Normal de profesores (1842). En este contexto, se desarrolló la historia del libro escolar como instrumento didáctico impulsado a partir de la política de expansión de la escuela pública en Chile, implementada desde el Estado, como instrumento esencial para “civilizar y moralizar” al nuevo ciudadano republicano. Nuestro estudio apunta, en una primera aproximación, a definir los factores que intervinieron en la creación de dichos manuales, entre los que destacan: el ideario educativo reflejado en ellos, el rol del Consejo Universitario (1842-1879) como órgano de censura, y los autores como agentes de cambio social a través de las diferentes formas de producción escrita escolar que ellos gestaron.

Published: December 2023

This article aims to analyse the asylum process within the European Union, more specifically with regard to the LGBTIQ people. Firstly, it will create a list of legal instruments and complementary documents, which will determine the degree of protection offered by both international organisations and transnational NGOs. Secondly, in light of pervious evolution of interpretation, the article seeks to present the framework, which leads to the possibility of granting refugee status to LGBTIQ persons. Although gender is not a specific reference in the refugee definition, it is widely accepted that persecution and harm can be inflicted on persons non-conforming to the traditional gender roles. Thirdly, it explores the challenging factors that are taken into account when granting refugee status to applicants with such sensitive grounds for the claims. Alongside the third part of the essay lies the question the paper seeks to ask. Therefore, the research is attempting to determine the extent of the protection offered to LGBTIQ asylum seekers and what can be improved in said process, both at the European level and national level.

Published: December 2023

Corona virus disease (COVID 19) telah menyebar secara global, termasuk Indonesia. Hal itu membawa dampak dalam berbagai bidang seperti ekonomi, politik, sosial, agama, budaya, Pendidikan, dan hukum. Paper ini berfokus dan mendiskusikan dampak Covid-19 terhadap proses pengadilan di Indonesia. Pada masa pademik Covid-19 proses persidangan pengadilan di Indonesia, berlangsung secara virtual atau disebut e-court. Pengadilan virtual merupakan persidangan yang menggunakan platform teknologi, seperti aplikasi Zoom, geogle meet, video call whatsUp. Pelaksanaan sidang virtual di satu sisi, sesuai dengan prinsip persidangan sederhana, cepat dan biaya ringan. Namun, pada sisi lain, hal itu bertentangan dengan ketentuan pasal 153 ayat (2) Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana di Indonesia. Prinsip tersebut mengatur proses persidangan yang bersifat langsung tatap muka dalam ruang fisik yang sama. Dengan demikian, maka pernyataan permasalahan penelitiannya adalah sebagai berikut. pertama, apa dasar hukum dilaksanakannya pengadilan secara virtual? Kedua, prinsip filosofis hukum apa yang mendasari diselenggarakannya persidangan vitual? Dan apa dampak hukum dari pelaksanaan persidangan virtual terhadap terdakwa? Untuk menjawab tiga permasalahan tersebut, paper ini menggunakan metode penelitian phenomenalogy. Penelitian berkesimpulan bahwa satu-satunya dasar hukum pengadilan virtual adalah Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia Nomor 1 Tahun 2020 tanggal 23 Maret 2020 tentang Pedoman Pelaksanaan Tugas Selama Masa Pencegahan Penyebaran COVID-19, dan prinsip hukum yang mendasari pelaksanaan persidangan virtual adalah "salus populi suprema lex esto". Prinsip filosofis ini menganjurkan bahwa hukum dibuat dan diberlakukan demi kesejahteraan Masyarakat. Prinsip ini sesuai dengan dasar norma hukum yang berlaku di Indonesia yaitu Pancasila. Setiap produk dan penegakan hukum harus berdasar pada nilai-nilai Pancasila. Dengan berpegang teguh pada nilai-nilai Pancasila, proses pengadilan dapat menjawab perubahan-perubahan sosial yang terjadi di masyarakat, termasuk perubahan yang disebabkan oleh wabah virus corona ini. Dampak hukum dari pelaksanaan persidangan virtual terhadap tersangka atau terdakwa adalah terjadi pengabaian hak-hak konstitusinya seperti; hak tidak didampingi penasehat hukum karena dan dalam proses pembuktian tidak semua alat bukti dapat diperlihatkan dalam persidangan virtual.

The eradication of corruption is one of the priorities for the Indonesian state in an effort to achieve a clean and corruption-free government. Currently, the regulation governing the eradication of corruption is Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption. One form of criminal act regulated in this law is bribery. Bribery is a serious threat to the Indonesian state. This crime can damage the judicial system, hinder development, and create social injustice. Therefore, the eradication of bribery must be carried out seriously and firmly by all parties, including the government, law enforcement, and the community. Some efforts that can be made are establishing institutions or special agencies in charge of handling bribery cases, providing education and training for law enforcement, and raising public awareness about the dangers of the crime of bribery, particularly law enforcement officers. The investigation and prosecution of bribery crimes are carried out by law enforcement agencies, such as police and prosecutors. Article 44 of Law Number 20 of 2001 states that the investigation of corrupt practices is conducted by investigators who meet special qualifications and is carried out firmly, quickly, and professionally. The purpose of this investigation and prosecution process is to uncover the truth about the bribery cases and punish the perpetrators.

In carrying out the governance of a nation, there are expenses necessary for the expenditures of the state, some of which are obtained through tax revenues collected from individuals classified as taxpayers. However, not all taxpayers fulfill their tax payments on time, and sometimes there are those who fall behind on their taxes, resulting in tax debt. Article 9, paragraph (2) PMK 61/2023 specifically governs the liability of limited liability company directors, wherein the corporate tax debt can be borne personally and/or jointly, including the entire tax debt and tax collection costs. This differs from the responsibility of limited liability company directors as regulated in Law 40/2007, which fundamentally imposes limitations on the accountability of individuals in their positions. As a result, there is ambiguity for corporate managements regarding the limitations of accountability in the tax perspective compared to the corporate law perspective. This research attempts to examine the importance of affirming the legal position of corporate directors as tax debtors. By using normative methods, the author aims to find legal certainty regarding the issues discussed. This research concludes that there is a legal vacuum in regulating the requirements for corporate managements to be exempted from being tax bearers. So that the author recommends that written regulations must be made regarding the understanding of the tax debt insurer for the company's tax debt is limited only to the company's management who is responsible for the company when the tax debt arises.

Criticism of the justification of history acceleration with the help of synergetics and the concept of “Big History”
Authors: Trubitsyn O. K.
Published: December 2023

There are a large number of different models of history acceleration. This article discusses the models proposed by S. P. Kapitsa, S. V. Tsirel and A. D. Panov. They are based on the prerequisites of a synergetic methodology, the concepts of Big History and singularity, as well as the interpretation of the acceleration of history as a consistent reduction in the duration of significant historical epochs. The purpose of the paper is to show the unconvincing nature of such an approach as a variant of substantiating the conception of history acceleration.
The false belief: its epistemic and normative characteristics
Authors: Shevchenko A. A.
Published: December 2023

The article considers lying as an epistemic attitude, analyzes its structural and substantive characteristics. In particular, it considers the pragmatic consequences of using false beliefs, primarily in scientific practice. It is shown that in a number of cases false epistemic attitudes can play a positive role, mainly as temporary hypothetical or counterfactual assumptions, as well as positive illusions. The paper also analyzes two alternative approaches towards false beliefs: “knowledge-first epistemology” of T. Williamson and “action-first epistemology” in line with epistemic pragmatism. It considers the potential of the latter approach and, in particular, the way of reconciling two seemingly conflicting normative frameworks – for beliefs and for actions. This, in turn, opens the way for building a complex normative system with different “directions of fit” between beliefs and actions on one side and the world on the other.
