Perkawinan Beda Agama dalam Perspektif Hak Azazi Manusia, Hukum Positif dan Teologis
Authors: Sunarto Sunarto
Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi perkawinan beda agama bagi orang Kristen di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pustaka dan mengkaji isu ini dari tiga perspektif: hak asasi manusia, hukum positif, dan teologi Kristen. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa perkawinan beda agama tidak bertentangan dengan hak azazi manusia. Terlepas kemungkinan persoalan yang bisa terjadi dalam perkawinan beda agama, tetapi hak membentuk sebuah keluarga merupakan hak yang tidak dapat dihilangkan. Namum dilihat dari sudut pandang hukum positif negara Republik Indonesia perkawinan beda agama secara tidak langsung dinyatakan dilarang. Sekalipun faktanya ada perkawinan yang  dilaksanakan meskipun mereka mempunyai agama yang berbeda.  Sedangkan dari sudut pandang teologi Kristen perkawinan beda agama seharusnya tidak dilakukan karena berimplikasi secara luas dalam kehidupan berkeluarga.

Abstract. We report on the first multi-year kilometre-scale global coupled simulations using ECMWF's Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) coupled to both the NEMO and FESOM ocean–sea ice models, as part of the H2020 Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems (nextGEMS) project. We focus mainly on an unprecedented IFS-FESOM coupled setup, with an atmospheric resolution of 4.4 km and a spatially varying ocean resolution that reaches locally below 5 km grid spacing. A shorter coupled IFS-FESOM simulation with an atmospheric resolution of 2.8 km has also been performed. A number of shortcomings in the original numerical weather prediction (NWP)-focused model configurations were identified and mitigated over several cycles collaboratively by the modelling centres, academia, and the wider nextGEMS community. The main improvements are (i) better conservation properties of the coupled model system in terms of water and energy budgets, which also benefit ECMWF's operational 9 km IFS-NEMO model; (ii) a realistic top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) radiation balance throughout the year; (iii) improved intense precipitation characteristics; and (iv) eddy-resolving features in large parts of the mid- and high-latitude oceans (finer than 5 km grid spacing) to resolve mesoscale eddies and sea ice leads. New developments at ECMWF for a better representation of snow and land use, including a dedicated scheme for urban areas, were also tested on multi-year timescales. We provide first examples of significant advances in the realism and thus opportunities of these kilometre-scale simulations, such as a clear imprint of resolved Arctic sea ice leads on atmospheric temperature, impacts of kilometre-scale urban areas on the diurnal temperature cycle in cities, and better propagation and symmetry characteristics of the Madden–Julian Oscillation.

Abstract. The flow speeds of floating ice shelves around the Antarctic Ice Sheet exhibit clear intra-annual variability. However, the drivers of this variability remain poorly understood. Here, we present three new velocity datasets from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations on the Ross Ice Shelf collected between early 2020 and late 2021 and show that they have two distinct peaks observed in austral summer and austral winter. These measurements do not appear to be consistent with the yearly cycle of sea surface height, which has previously been identified as a possible driver. We investigate the potential role of basal melt variability in ice flow speed and use the Ross Ice Shelf as a test bed. First we identify the regions where changes in melt would have the largest influence on ice speed at our GNSS sites using automatic differentiation. We then apply idealized sinusoidal perturbations to modelled basal melt rates at these specific locations to identify what magnitude of variability is needed to match the GNSS-observed changes in ice speed. We show that, while very local perturbations in basal melt can have a significant impact on ice flow speed, the amplitude of the perturbation required to match observations is significantly higher than expected, which may indicate that these perturbations are not realistic. We suggest that a combination of external forcings and internal mechanics may be needed to reproduce the observed intra-annual velocity variation at all the GNSS sites.

There are many factors of failure of a carbide tool, and one of them is wear, discoloration
of the blade and breakage. An increase in the durability of the tool is possible due to
increased wear resistance, reliability and the number of periods of durability due to overfilling.
In this case, the resource of the cutting tool is understood as a measure equal to the total
amount of usable products processed by the cutting tool during its service life. The low quality
of the workpieces means higher wear and more plates with breakages and discolorations, and
with high precision of the processed products, we have less tool wear. The aim of this study
is to increase the wear resistance of cutting tools by selecting the optimal geometry of the
carbide plate.

Economic sanctions and WTO law
Authors: Shepenko R. A. , Ryzhkova I. V.
Published: January 2025

The subject. Restrictive measures have become one of the prevailing methods of foreign policy of particular states. Their main objectives are to change the political course of target states, to exert economic pressure on specific governments, companies or individuals. Traditionally, the majority of such measures are referred to the concept of “economic sanctions”. Despite the widespread use of the term, the international practice of challenging economic sanctions is not characterized by uniformity of approaches. The subject of this study is to analyze the existing WTO practice on disputes arising from the imposition of economic sanctions. Particular attention is paid to disputes where national security exceptions have been used as a defense argument. The hypothesis of the possibility of challenging economic sanctions through WTO mechanisms is investigated.

Purpose of the study. The article represents an attempt to verify possible options for challenging economic sanctions in the WTO framework. The objective of this study is to analyze the existing practice of consideration of disputes arising from the imposition of economic sanctions at the WTO level in order to identify prospects for their resolution.

Methodology. The research was conducted using general scientific methods – systematicity and logical analysis, which allowed to identify the main regularities of the studied object. Also, in this work were used special scientific methods of cognition, such as formal-dogmatic, historical, generalization method and method of hermeneutics.

The main results. The practice of dispute settlement on the legality of economic sanctions is not fully developed. In the past, economic sanctions have only exceptionally been the subject of WTO proceedings. There have been cases in WTO practice where attempts by states to challenge unilateral restrictive measures have failed not as a result of dispute settlement, but because the parties were able to reach an agreement. Until 2019, Panels practically did not use Article XXI (b) (iii) of the GATT as an argument to justify economic sanctions for fear that it might cause an abuse of right. Recently, the invocation of this Article has become more common.

Conclusions. Article XXI (b) (iii) of the GATT can be used as a basis for challenging economic sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation by certain states that are not in a state of armed conflict with it.

The unilateral coercive measures of states also wrongly called sanctions have occupied a significant place in law; the current state of the latter is analyzed. The complex set of legal rules have appeared concerning sanctions exactly, countersanctions targeted against them and their legal consequences as well as restrictions, prohibitions and exemptions caused by the sanctions policy. Lawyers have to deal with numerous conflicts related to the implementation of prohibitions imposed on already highly complex structure of the foreign economic activity’s regulation.It impacted the perception of law from the point of view of systematic approach as soon as it needs to be determined what area of law the unilateral state restrictions belong to and what is the relationship between the national and the international legal regulation hereof from a formal legal point of view. The sanctions are considered by the author within the context of the correlation between legal systems and the logic of interaction between them. Nowadays the sanctions law is the combination of disparate legal provisions and practices allowing to use the sanctions as the instrument in the global competitive clash. Historical and comparative legal analysis methods enable to confirm that the terminological substitution happened at a certain historical point: the term “sanctions” began to be used in relation not only to measures taken by the Security Council under the UN Charter, but also to unilateral state acts. Dialectical and logical approaches allowed to trace the meaning and the purpose of the international legal regulation in the sphere of international trade and economic relations. It has always been aimed to remove any barriers and obstacles to the free movement of goods, services, capitals and labor. Therefore, an arbitrary and uncontrolled sanctions pressure contravenes the meaning and the purpose of the existing international law. The regulation of the unilateral state restrictions shall be interrelated at the level of legal systems and be based on the rules of the international law providing for the free trade and commercial exchange without trade barriers. The importance of the distinction between sanctions provided for by the international law and countermeasures as the means of states response to the violation of law committed by another state is emphasized. The author concludes that it is necessary to adopt the special international legal regulation regarding the conditions of imposing countermeasures, suggests to use the provisions of the Draft Articles on State Responsibility and substantiates the need for the establishment of the international competition law.

The study examined the utilization of electronic information resources (EIRs) as correlates of publications among research scientists in National Agricultural Research Institutes (NARIs) headquarter in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Correlational research method was used to determine the relationship between utilization of EIRs and publications output among research scientists. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 217 respondents from a sample frame of 282 researchers based on Morgan’s table for sample size in four (Institute of Agricultural Research and Training, National Institute of Horticultural Research, Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria and Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria) NARIs. Data were obtained on types of EIRs utilized, extent of use, effect of EIRs utilization on publication and the total of researchers’ publications using a structured questionnaire. The results obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation) and Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient (PPMC). Results revealed that major types of EIRs utilized by the researchers for their publications were Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture ( 3.46), Online Access to Research in the Environment ( 3.41) and The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library ( 3.32). The result further revealed that researchers have a high extent of use of EIRs with 100% utilization. The researchers stated that utilization of EIRs enhances efficient and effective publications ( 3.58) improve the quality of their publications ( 3.52) and enhance their decision making in publishing ( 3.48). Results further revealed that 74.9% and 85.3% of the researchers published more in local journals and proceedings respectively compared to 25.1% and 14.7% that published in international journals and proceedings respectively. PPMC revealed a significant (p<0.05) relationship between utilization of EIR (r = 0.127) and researchers publications. In conclusion, utilization of EIRs enhances the publication output of researchers in agricultural research institutes. Therefore, the study recommended that stakeholders and policy makers in agricultural research institutes should invest in facilities that will facilitate utilization of EIRs for publications activities among research scientists.
