Exploring Gender Disparities In Executive Leadership Positions In Norway: A Qualitative Analysis
Authors: Nazrul Nelufer
Published: July 2024

Norway has gained global reputation for its gender equality efforts, yet a considerable gender disparity persists at the highest organizational ranks. This qualitative study explores the underlying reasons for the underrepresentation of women in executive leadership positions in Norway. Grounded in social role theory and the glass ceiling concept, the research involved a comprehensive literature review of academic journals, government reports, and industry publications. Thematic analysis revealed societal and cultural norms, organizational factors, and individual-level elements as key contributors to this inequality. Traditional gender roles, implicit biases, lack of mentorship and networks, gender culture, structural bias, as well as personal factors like confidence, self-esteem, and risk aversion emerged as significant barriers. The study critically evaluates existing measures aimed at bridging the gender gap, which have had limited long-term impact. Based on the findings, an integrated set of recommendations is proposed for policymakers, organizations, and individuals to increase women's representation in top executive roles. These include challenging traditions, fostering organizational inclusivity, providing individual support, strengthening accountability, and promoting collaborative efforts.
Exploring Higher Secondary EFL Teachers' Perceptions of Critical Thinking and Its Development: A Critical Reflection
Authors: Ferdoush Zannatul , Jahan Rubaiyat
Published: July 2024

It is widely recognized that developing critical thinking skills promotes higher levels of language proficiency and academic success. However, teachers’ perceptions of critical thinking have a significant impact on pedagogical practices, students’ learning, and achievement; therefore, a meticulous understanding of teachers’ perceptions is the prerequisite for the enhancement and effective implementation of critical thinking skills. Against this background, this exploratory study uses a constructivist approach to employ semi structured interviews with 12 EFL teachers at the higher secondary level in Bangladesh to address the research gap in understanding EFL teachers’ perceptions of critical thinking and its practice. The findings revealed that teachers’ knowledge of critical thinking is limited and fragmented, and there is a gap between their perception and the generically recognized concept of critical thinking. This suggests that there is a need to develop teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge to promote critical thinking skills in EFL classrooms at higher secondary levels.
The Stakes of the Unwritten Constitutional Norms and Principles Debate in Germany
Authors: Wischmeyer Thomas
Published: July 2024

Focussing on “writtenness” can sharpen our sensibility of how liberally the German legal system allows the Federal Constitutional Court, as well as other courts, to acknowledge legal norms or principles whose textual basis in the Grundgesetz is far from obvious – which in other jurisdictions might be put into the area of norm-free, principle-oriented argumentation, i.e. whose constitutional quality is being problematized.

Published: July 2024

Bromeliads are plants with epiphytic habits and in smaller quantities they develop on the ground. They are important at an ecological level since they function as indicators of environmental disturbance and intervene in nutrient and hydrological cycles. They also serve as hosts for arthropods and invertebrates, are ornamental,and have medicinal importance, which is why they are vulnerable to extraction by humans. If the germination of these plants in the wild is successful, their abundance and distribution willincrease. This review shows an analysis of the main factors that limit the germination of bromeliad seeds, a detaileddescription of the effect on germination of climatic factors such as light, temperature,and 71Revista Científica Vida NaturalUniversidad Autónoma de Chiriquírevistas.unachi.ac.paRevCient.VidNat, 2 (1) julio -diciembre, 2024, 70-81Revisión BibliográficaISSN L 2992-6424humidity is presented. In addition to some biotic factors that affect germination, which include the characteristics of the bark of the host tree, the allelopathic compounds that the bark can produce act as germination inhibitors, among others. Because bromeliads have very specific germination requirements, it is suggested that future studies explore topics in the physiology and ecology of germination processes, and thus have more detailed information on the factors that affect the germination of these seeds, both in the field and in the laboratory, tocollaborate in the conservation of these species.

A reusable Behavior of Ruthenium Oxide-PtNP-Nafion Metal Nano Composite Towards Glucose Biosensing
Authors: Jeyaraman Shankara Narayanan
Published: July 2024

This study introduces a novel composite (RuO2-PtNP-N) for non-enzymatic glucose sensing. RuO2-PtNP-N is fabricated through electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles onto a pre-cast RuO2-Nafion composite on a glassy carbon electrode. The research demonstrates that RuO2-PtNP-N exhibits superior sensitivity compared to RuO2-N and Pt-N composites. This enhanced performance is attributed to the favorable orientation of PtNPs within the porous RuO2 matrix. Various characterization techniques, including cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and spectroscopic methods, were employed to analyze the sensor’s electrochemical properties and surface characteristics. The RuO2-PtNP-N sensor displayed a linear response up to 24 mM glucose with a sensitivity of 0.328 mA mM-1 cm-2. Furthermore, the sensor exhibited good reproducibility over a 41-day period, indicating excellent surface stability. Additionally, the sensor demonstrated high selectivity for glucose in the presence of potential interfering species. The determination of glucose in serum samples highlights the sensor’s promising potential for practical applications

Authors: Suman D. , Raja V. Sripathi , Mutta Vasundara
Published: July 2024

We present an invitro study of the hyperthermia application of nanomaterials for the cancer treatment by Radiofrequency (RF). Nickel-ferrite nano materials are synthesized by using microwave hydrothermal method at different pH values under a lower temperature of 160°C for a short holding time of 30 minutes. RF source generator is being used that opeartes at 100 KHz and a temperature regulator monitors the temperature of the solution.The in-vivo experimemnt was conducted with the nanomaterials dispersed in the ferrofluid, and RF energy is appiled when the solution is being placed in a magnetic stirrer. The results shows that the temperature of the nanomaterials has increased beyond 40°C and went up to 45°C with the increase in frequency of the RF under the constant magnetic field of 100 Oe. As the strength of the magnetic field increases the Nanomaterials have shown rapid variation in their temperature Characteristics. The nickel-ferrites have shown linear temperature characteristics under the magnetic field of 100Oe with the RF frequency of 100 KHz. Hence the nickel-ferrites are most suitable for the Hyperthermia application of cancer treatment..The cancerous cells are destroyed by ‘Active cell destruction’ or they are swollen till the cells burst. The superconductivity property of nano particles and Radio Frequency coils used plays the major role in the treatment.
Ampliando el pragmatismo de la Pragma-dialéctica en el procedimiento de mediación con la PNL como herramienta pragmática y cognitiva
Authors: Bastante Soler Victorina
Published: July 2024

Este artículo parte de los estudios pragma-dialécticos de la argumentación basados en la resolución de diferencias de opinión en situaciones cotidianas, en la línea de Frans van Eemeren y Rob Grootendorst (1992). Al centrarnos en la mediación, hemos recurrido a los estudios realizados por Sara Greco (2009) en torno a la argumentación y las estrategias comunicativas en la práctica de la mediación y la gestión de conflictos. Se explora la intersección entre la pragma-dialéctica y la programación neurolingüística (PNL) para aumentar el pragmatismo del diálogo crítico aplicado a la mediación mediante herramientas de PNL dirigidas a cada uno de los ámbitos principales de aplicación de las maniobras estrategias. Se presenta un rol activo del agente mediador, así como las sucesivas transformaciones que va adoptando en cada fase del diálogo crítico. Dado el principio de neutralidad e imparcialidad de la mediación se esboza la ontología meta-comunicativa y epistémica del agente mediador necesaria para conseguir desafiar la dificultad de como un tercero neutral e imparcial.

A hemimelia, ou agenesia é uma enfermidade que se caracteriza pela deformação congênita que afeta a estrutura óssea, apresentando ausência parcial ou total, causando assim dificuldades de locomoção em filhotes, podendo evoluir para problemas articulares e luxações. O relato de caso baseia-se em um caso clínico de um felino, fêmea, dois anos de idade, com 2,7 kg, atendida no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco - UFRPE/UAG, em Garanhuns - PE. Apresentando como queixa principal prurido intenso na região do pescoço, e deformações em membros pélvicos. Na região do pescoço, foram identificadas crostas indicativas de coceira, vermelhidão, sensibilidade aumentada e espessamento da pele no lado esquerdo. Além disso, o animal exibiu um desvio dos membros traseiros em direção ao centro. Os exames radiográficos dos membros pélvicos evidenciaram uma curvatura da articulação do quadril em direção cranial-lateral, juntamente com encurtamento dos ossos da tíbia e fíbula dos membros esquerdo e direito. Houve também um deslocamento das patelas em direção medial-dorsal, com aumento das suas formas e bordas irregulares. Dada a etiologia desconhecida da enfermidade, diversos exames complementares foram realizados, com a radiografia destacando-se como o método essencial para o diagnóstico conclusivo. O tratamento conservativo foi escolhido, sendo adequado para animais jovens, embora apresente um prognóstico desfavorável, com potencial paracomprometer as articulações adjacentes e prejudicar a locomoção futura do felino. Estudos sobre malformações, como a hemimelia, permanecem limitados devido à sua raridade, o que ressalta a necessidade de pesquisas adicionais para o desenvolvimento de tratamentos mais eficazes.

A measles outbreak occurs when the number of cases of measles in the population exceeds the typical level. Outbreaks that are not detected and managed early can increase mortality and morbidity and incur costs from activities responding to these events. The number of measles cases in the Province of North Cotabato, Philippines, was used in this study. Weekly reported cases of measles from January 2016 to December 2021 were provided by the Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit of the North Cotabato Provincial Health Office. Several integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) time series models were used to explore the possibility of detecting and identifying measles outbreaks in the province along with the classical ARIMA model. These models were evaluated based on goodness of fit, measles outbreak detection accuracy, and timeliness. The results of this study confirmed that INAR models have the conceptual advantage over ARIMA since the latter produces non-integer forecasts, which are not realistic for count data such as measles cases. Among the INAR models, the ZINGINAR (1) model was recommended for having a good model fit and timely and accurate detection of outbreaks. Furthermore, policymakers and decision-makers from relevant government agencies can use the ZINGINAR (1) model to improve disease surveillance and implement preventive measures against contagious diseases beforehand.

Published: July 2024

A study was conducted to determine the effect of moisture content on physical properties of sunflower seeds (cv. Kıroni). Four levels of moisture content ranging from 7.5 to 30.0 percent (wb) were considered for this study. Length, width, thickness, diameter of equivalent sphere, surface area, volume, porosity and angle of repose increased linearly with the increase of moisture content. But bulk density and kernel density decreased with the increase of moisture. A small linear increase of roundness and sphericity were observed with the increase of moisture content. Regression equations were developed to describe the physical properties of the sunflower seeds with the variation of moisture content.

Predictors of expressed emotion among the caregivers of patients with severe mental illnesses attending a tertiary health facility in Kano
Authors: Aghukwa NC  , Baguda AS  , Fawaz B  , Aminu IS
Published: July 2024

Background: Expressed Emotion (EE) measures the emotional climate between caregivers and patients with major mental disorders. High EE could trigger relapses in schizophrenia and other conditions. However, the factors influencing high EE were poorly understood, especially in Africa. This study explored the socio-demographic, personality, and patient-related predictors of high EE among caregivers in Kano.
Objectives: The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of high EE and its associations with socio-demographic factors, personality traits, and patients’ illness characteristics.
Methods: The study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design, encompassing 270 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, each accompanied by their corresponding caregiver, totalling 270 caregivers. All participants attended the psychiatric clinic at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. The data collection process involved questionnaires and interviews, addressing socio-demographics, illness characteristics, personality traits, and expressed emotion (EE).
Results: We analyzed the socio-demographic factors and EE of 250 patients and their corresponding 250 caregivers. High EE was prevalent (42.8%) due to critical comments and emotional over-involvement. Caregivers scored high on all personality traits, but only neuroticism correlated positively with EE (r = 0.130, p < 0.05). EE was lower for bipolar disorder than for schizophrenia (r = -.126, p < .05). EE also increased with patient symptoms, caregiver burden, and relapse frequency.
Conclusion: Caregivers of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in Kano showed high expressed emotion (EE). However, none of the analyzed factors, including socio-demographic and personality traits, emerged as significant predictors of EE. Further research is needed to improve interventions and support strategies for caregivers of individuals with severe mental illnesses.
Climate Change Awareness and Its Effects on Cognitive and Functional Abilities and Behavioral Responses: A Review of Literature
Authors: Zaka Ms. Saira , Latif Dr. Arfan , Salman Mr. Muhammad , Ahmad Mr. Hafiz Muhammad
Published: July 2024

Climate change awareness has been identified as a critical factor influencing various aspects of human cognition, functional capabilities, and behavioral engagement. This literature review explores the intersection of climate change awareness with cognitive and functional impairments, and how these factors collectively influence behavioral responses. Studies suggest that heightened awareness of climate change can lead to increased cognitive load, potentially exacerbating cognitive impairments, particularly in older adults and individuals with pre-existing cognitive deficits. Functional impairments, such as reduced physical mobility and mental health issues, have also been linked to the stress and anxiety associated with climate change awareness. Furthermore, the relationship between awareness and behavior is complex; while awareness can lead to proactive environmental behaviors, it can also result in maladaptive responses like eco-anxiety and climate inaction due to perceived helplessness. This review synthesizes current research to highlight the multifaceted impacts of climate change awareness and underscores the need for targeted interventions to support cognitive and functional health while promoting positive behavioral engagement.

L’adaptation Sociologique Du Français Parlé En Contexte Étranger : Le Cas Des Réfugiés Tchadiens Au Nord Cameroun
Authors: GORON Amina
Published: July 2024

Chaque communauté linguistique est dotée des habitudes linguistiques propres à son référent initial. Les réfugiés tchadiens au Cameroun n’en sont pas exempts. Leur terre d’accueil (le Nord Cameroun), bien que partageant avec le Tchad un certain nombre de langues dont le substrat linguistique est le même, n’a pas forcément les mêmes habitudes langagières. Cette population a un parler d’origine qui finit par s’adapter plus ou moins au français camerounais au fil des ans. Mais cette adaptation est un processus lent qui peut prendre plusieurs années. Nous nous intéresserons au parler d’origine (français tchadien) des réfugiés tchadien, c’est-à-dire, ceux qui ont séjourné en terre Camerounaise sur une période d’au plus cinq ans. Il sera question d’étudier quelques lexies récurrentes dans le discours des locuteurs du français tchadien et de mesurer leur portée sémantique.
Une Œuvre Du Patrimoine Littéraire Francophone Africain : Mes Transes À Trente Ans De Saverio Naigiziki Ou Le Texte Insaisissable D’un Fugitif
Authors: HENKY Danièle
Published: July 2024

Les ouvrages d’écrivains africains écrits en langue française font partie du patrimoine culturel et littéraire de l’Afrique. Lorsque ces livres ont été écrits durant la période de colonisation des territoires africains, ils témoignent à la fois de l’influence des pays francophones sur les zones colonisées, mais aussi de la façon dont les auteurs sont parvenus à se servir de cette langue comme d’un outil particulièrement pertinent pour rendre compte de leur situation ambigüe. Ils ont aussi contribué à la valorisation d’un patrimoine qui aurait peut-être disparu sans la conservation offerte par le texte qui l’a pérennisé. Ces œuvres francophones patrimoniales ont donc de multiples intérêts que l’étude d’un texte trop peu connu de Saverio Naigiziki peut nous aider à examiner ici.
Poétique Subversive Et Affirmation Identitaire Dans Les Littératures Francophones Mineures
Authors: OLCY Yaya
Published: July 2024

Les recherches sur les littératures mineures, la dynamique et la représentativité de la langue française depuis le XXe siècle en francophonie périphérique ont révélé l’émergence d’endonormes (variétés hors hexagonales) et des velléités de renouvellement esthétique sans précédent. En effet, l’environnement « périphérique » terreau, pour le moins, propice aux littératures dites mineures, minoritaires ou de minorités francophones, demeure fortement marqué par un plurilinguisme et une réalité conflictuelle entre le français et les autres parlers locaux. Une situation dont le principal corollaire – à un point de vue purement individuel et/ou social – demeure l’avènement d’un « processus d’insécurisation » (Claude Caitucoli, 2004) aboutissant, pour la plupart des locuteurs diglossiques, au développement effectif d’un sentiment d’Insécurité Linguistique1. Laquelle insécurité devient ainsi une donnée inhérente, consubstantielle et intrinsèque aux communautés francophones périphériques, et donc des « littératures mineures » (J.-P. Bertrand et Lise Gauvin, 2003). Ainsi, se pose la question de l’expression identitaire des minorités francophones en zone périphérique à travers une littérature non pas « française », mais « francophone » et d’une esthétique subversive, inédite et originale. C’est pourquoi, à partir d’une approche comparative, les enjeux poétiques de la condition minoritaire seront abordés en passant d’abord par les variations du français en francophonie acadienne et sénégalaise, avant de voir les dynamiques socio-langagières et l’originalité du Temps me dure (2003) d’Antonine Maillet et Buur Tilleen (1972) de Cheik A. Ndao.
Identité Et Diversité : A La Rencontre Des Cultures Chez Léopold Sédar SENGHOR Et Marcien TOWA
Authors: BA Cheikh Moctar
Published: July 2024

Les œuvres de Léopold Sédar Senghor et de Marcien Towa sont tributaires d’un contexte particulièrement difficile et complexe pour l’intelligentsia négro-africaine de la période des indépendances. En effet, l’après Seconde Guerre mondiale a vu émerger en Afrique noire des doctrines idéologiques inscrites dans l’optique de la revendication de la reconnaissance d’une humanité et d’une dignité pour les Négro-africains sous domination coloniale. Toutefois, même si l’exigence de liberté faisait l’unanimité dans les milieux intellectuels africains et chez les défenseurs de l’égalité entre les hommes, les stratégies de luttes prenaient diverses allures en fonction des enjeux et des éléments privilégiés par les uns et les autres. C’est ainsi que les travaux de Towa et de Senghor surgirent au cœur d’un climat marqué par une polémique sur la question de l’existence et sur celle de la nature d’une philosophie africaine, débat qui a mis aux prises les intellectuels selon qu’ils soient partisans ou non de l’acceptation d’une pensée de nature philosophique propre à l’Afrique. Les positions du chantre de la Négritude et celles défendues par Marcien Towa sont pendant longtemps connues pour s’être inscrites dans des perspectives largement différentes, engendrant même des querelles farouches entre les deux penseurs. N’est-ce pas ce qui a poussé celui qui, à tort ou à raison, est qualifié d’europhilosophe par ses adversaires à écrire en 1976 un ouvrage intitulé Léopold Sédar Senghor : Négritude ou servitude ? dans lequel il attaque à outrance la négritude senghorienne? Cependant, loin de cette opposition apparente entre les systèmes towaien et senghorien (qu’on ne saurait minimiser), nous essayerons, dans ce travail, d’analyser la question de la rencontre des cultures pour montrer que, sur certains points, ce sont deux doctrines qui se complètent, voire qui se rejoignent dans le principe. En quoi les systèmes de pensée de Senghor et de Towa constituent-ils une rupture dans l’approche de la problématique de la rencontre des cultures ? Comment, en s’inscrivant dans une dialectique identité /diversité, apportent-ils des alternatives à l’unilatéralisme du modèle occidental symbolisé, entre autres, par l’impérialisme au cœur de la Mondialisation ? Ces interrogations majeures inscrivent ces pensées dans la perspective de l’ouverture, cela en mettant en place les fondamentaux de l’égalité de fait dans les rapports entre les entités humaines afin de rompre avec la domination de certaines puissances sur d’autres. L’analyse de tels enjeux nous conduit d’abord à aborder la conscience de l’identité comme préalable à l’ouverture. Il sera ensuite question de voir en quoi l’ouverture aux valeurs de l’Universel constitue un projet fondamental chez les deux penseurs
De La Francophilie À La Francophonie En Inde Multilingue

Les débats sur la cohabitation et les aménagements linguistiques abordent la question du statut du français en Inde. L’Inde possède l’hindi et l’anglais comme deux langues officielles nationales, vingt-deux langues officielles régionales et 1652 dialectes. Alors, de quelle francophonie parle-t-on dans ce pays multilingue où le français n’a aucun statut officiel ? Le système éducatif en Inde impose une formule de trois langues, c’est-à-dire une langue officielle (l’anglais ou l’hindi), la langue maternelle ou régionale, et une langue indienne ou étrangère. Le français est enseigné comme troisième langue, mais au titre de langue étrangère ; le français conserve malgré tout une place importante en Inde. Selon un sondage fait au mois du mars 2012 par la chaîne française France 2, dans ce pays multilingue, le français est la première langue étrangère enseignée en Inde. Selon les estimations, il y a environ 500.000 apprenants du français en Inde, dont 60.000 étudiants qui apprennent le français au niveau de l’enseignement supérieur. Nous observons que ces chiffres, comme la besoin de professeurs de français (qui sont 5 000 actuellement), sont en augmentation constante. D’un côté, les universités indiennes, au niveau de la licence, du master et du doctorat, se sont ouvertes depuis les années soixante-dix à la littérature de l’espace francophone, à la traduction et à la didactique. D’un autre côté, il y a vingt-deux Alliances françaises qui prennent en charge des habiletés à communiquer. Le français est également enseigné dans les écoles de gestion, d’ingénierie, d’hôtellerie et de tourisme. Qu’est-ce qui motive un si grand nombre d’Indiens à apprendre le français quand la plupart sont déjà bilingues sinon trilingues ? En général, c’est la situation historique et socioprofessionnelle d'un pays qui déterminent les langues à enseigner dans son système éducatif et, de ce fait, on peut distinguer deux types de francophonie en Inde : une francophonie due aux relations historiques que l'Inde avait avec la France depuis le XIXe siècle, et une francophonie qui est née des besoins et des choix professionnels de deux pays. Dans cette étude, nous étudierons, d’abord, les relations indo-françaises en prenant en compte l'histoire coloniale, la communication interculturelle et la production littéraire en langue française en Inde. Nous discuterons, ensuite, des différentes possibilités de développement professionnel pour les Indiens francophones et nous présenterons, enfin, certaines initiatives récentes prises par les diverses institutions et les organisations pour promouvoir en Inde l'enseignement et la recherche en langue française.

The article analyzes the factors affecting compliance with regulations on e-invoices of enterprises in Vinh Long province. The study uses a multiple regression model estimated with Ordinary Least Square method to estimate the factors affecting compliance with regulations on e-invoices through survey results from 268 enterprises using e-invoices. The research results show that there are 6 factors affecting the compliance with regulations on e-invoices of enterprises, the influence levels of the factors are arranged in descending order as follows: tax policy, economic perception, perception of barriers to conversion, perception of society, corporate characteristics and perception of behavioral control. In which, the awareness factor of conversion barriers has a negative impact, while the remaining factors have a positive impact on compliance with regulations on e-invoices. From the above results, the study proposes policy implications that contribute to improving the level of tax compliance with regulations on e-invoices at enterprises in Vinh Long province in the coming time.

Cette étude a identifié les espèces d’arbres candidates pour l’arborisation des localités urbaines de la commune d’Abomey-Calavi. Les principaux objectifs étaient d’identifier les services écosystémiques (SEs) prioritairement attendus des arbres dans les localités d’Abomey-Calavi ; d’identifier les gênes écosystémiques (GEs) prioritairement redoutées des arbres dans les localités urbaines de la ville, et de proposer les espèces d’arbres candidates pour l’arborisation de la ville d’Abomey-calavi en se basant sur les SEs et GEs prioritaires identifiés. L'approche méthodologique s'est basée sur trois phases principales : une revue systématique afin d’identifier les SEs et GEs dans les localités ; une consultation publique et un dialogue multi-acteurs, axés sur l’identification participative des espèces d’arbres et la modélisation de la niche des habitats adaptés aux espèces d’arbres. Cette approche a permis de montrer que la purification et l’assainissement de l’air font partis des services écosystémiques les plus recherchés des arbres par les populations. De même, trois gênes écosystémiques sont préoccupantes dont l’effet du système racinaire des arbres sur les infrastructures publiques. Par ailleurs, douze espèces permettent d’optimiser les SEs et d’atténuer les GEs en milieu urbain. Il est impératif de mettre en place un système de surveillance des arbres, d’élaborer des programmes d’information, éducation et communication, pour garantir une bonne gestion des arbres dans les localités.
الرقابة القضائية على الخطأ الساطع في القرار الإداري
Authors: المرسومي عمار حسين علي
Published: July 2024

لجأ مجلس الدولة الفرنسي في مجال الرقابة على السلطة التقديرية للإدارة في مباشرتها لسلطتها الرئاسية على موظفيها إلى وسيلة فنية تتمثل في نظرية الخطأ الظاهر في التقدير، موسعا بذلك من نطاق الرقابة القضائية على ما تتمتع به الإدارة من سلطة تقديرية في شتى المجالات، ورغم أن القضاء المصري لم يستخدم تعبير الخطأ الساطع في القرار الإداري، إلا أنه استخدم تعبيرا متميزا يتمثل في "عدم الملاءمة الظاهرة" للتعبير عن عدم مشروعية القرار الإداري، وابتدع نظرية "الغلو" التي سبق بها نظيره الفرنسي في مجال الرقابة القضائية على قرارات الإدارة. ولقد طبق القضاء العراقي فعليا نظرية الخطأ الساطع في القرار الإداري، ويبدو ذلك بجلاء في القرارات الصادرة عن مجلس انضباط الموظفين العام. ويمكن تعريف الخطأ الساطع بأنه ذلك الخطأ الذي ترتكبه جهة الإدارة ويكون واضحا جليا، لا يثير نقاشا أو جدلا. ولقد تعددت معايير الخطأ الساطع، من قبيل المعيار اللغوي، والشخصي والموضوعي. وتدرجت بمرور الوقت الرقابة القضائية بشأن ما تتمتع به جهة الإدارة من سلطة تقديرية في أداء أعمالها وممارسة سلطاتها من التخفيف إلى الشدة، فبدأت بمراقبة الوجود المادي للوقائع، ثم تطورت إلى رقابة التكييف القانوني للوقائع، ثم ازدادت تشددا من خلال الرقابة القانونية على تقدير أهمية الوقائع. وتبين السوابق القضائية تعدد مجالات تطبيق الرقابة القضائية بشأن الخطأ الساطع في القرار الإداري، وهو ما نبينه تفصيلا في تلك الدراسة.

Determining the applicable law in disputes involving a foreign element is one of the critical issues that typically has not yet received broad jurisprudential and legislative attention due to the nature of the issues regulating it. Basically, disputes related to international relationships are treated through rules called 'Attribution.' These rules typically serve as guidelines demonstrating which applicable law should be resorted to in the prevailing disputes. Locally, despite the efforts the Jordanian lawmakers made to regulate International' foreign' relationships, some of these regulations are inadequate, particularly in cases related to the adversaries' right to claim a lack of jurisdiction of the Foreign Law specified under the attribution rules. Since the subject of pleading this issue was not regulated by clear and explicit texts in Jordanian legislation, the deficiency, ambiguity, and shortcomings were the primary features of these rules, and given the importance of this issue, we present this research to elucidate and analysis the suitability of the rules concerned with regulating the plea of lack of jurisdiction of the foreign law and the legal effect of this plea.
The Implementation of Caning Law in Aceh Province, Indonesia: An Overview of The Human Rights Perspectives

Published: July 2024

Initially, caning in Aceh was conducted openly in public areas, including the courtyard of the mosque. However, this approach provoked both positive and negative reactions. Many viewed public caning as a form of torture and raised concerns about its potential negative impact on children who witnessed the punishment. Subsequently, the Aceh government introduced Governor's Regulation No. 5/2018, which mandated the implementation of caning punishment within correctional institutions. Despite this move, the implementation of caning punishment, whether in public or correctional institutions, continues to be criticized as a violation of human rights. However, the Rome Statute of 1998 and Law No. 5 of 1998 on the Ratification of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment stipulate that legally imposed punishments, including caning, do not constitute torture as long as they are in accordance with existing legislation.
