PENEGAKAN HUKUM TERHADAP PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA DI BAWAH UMUR YANG MENYALAHGUNAKAN NARKOTIKA JENIS GANJA KERING (Studi Kasus Putusan Pengadilan Nomor :68/PID.SUS/2013/PTR.)
Authors: Agung Fazri Muhammad , Liya RR
Published: March 2021

Keterlibatan anak dalam  dunia  narkotika, tidak lepas dari kontrol orang tua, karena sebagaimana mestinya orang tua harus melindungi, mendidik dan memberikan kehidupan yang layak baik kebutuhan dari segi fisik maupun psikis. Orang tua  diharapkan untuk  mengawasi dan mendidik anaknya agar  selalu menjauhi  penyalahgunaan  narkotika. Dengan memberikan pendidikan agama maupun pendidikan umum. Generasi muda adalah tulang punggung bangsa dan Negara, sehingga anak walaupun harus berhadapan dengan hukum harus tetap mendapatkan perlindungan. Dalam penulisan skripsi ini penulis memberikan contoh kasus seorang anak yang menyalahgunakan narkotika dan telah diputus dengan sanksi pidana penjara oleh hakim Pengadilan Tinggi Pekanbaru dengan Putusannya Nomor 68/PID.SUS/2013/PTR. Adapun rumusan masalah yang dibahas penulis adalah : (1) Bagaimana penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku tindak pidana anak di bawah umur yang menyalahgunakan narkotika ? dan (2) Bagaimana penerapan hukum materiil terhadap anak sebagai penyalahguna narkotika sebagaimana dalam Putusan Pengadilan Nomor : 68/PID.SUS/2013/PTR ?. Metode penelitian yang digunakan penulis adalah metode yuridis normatif yaitu menganalisis kaitan  antara peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku dengan teori-teori hukum dan praktek pelaksanaan hukum positif yang menyangkut permasalahan yang dibahas. Akhirnya penulis menyimpulkan bahwa Penerapan hukum materiil terhadap anak sebagai penyalahguna narkotika sebagaimana dalam Putusan Pengadilan Nomor : 68/PID.SUS/2013/PTR, ternyata ada perbedaan tafsir dan perbedaan pertimbangan sehingga terjadi perbedaan pemberian sanksi pidana terhadap terdakwa. Hakim Pengadilan Negeri menjatuhkan pidana penjara selama 1 (satu) tahun, sedangkan hakim Pengadilan Tinggi menjatuhkan sanksi lebih berat yaitu 2 (dua) tahun 6 (enam) bulan penjara., yang akhirnya harus dijalani, karena perkara ini hanya sampai di tingkat banding di pengadilan Tinggi.

Implementation of PKWT according to Law no. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower states that the PKWT work relationship requires a written agreement in Indonesian and may not be for permanent work in the company which, if violated, will result in changing the work relationship to PKWTT. Likewise with the rights to wages, working time and employee participation in the BPJS. Meanwhile, the terms of work are regulated in a Work Agreement or Collective Bargaining Agreement. Workers Union at PT. GCP, namely GSPMII, has succeeded in overseeing the implementation of PKWT in the form of fulfilling work norms and conditions for PKWT workers in companies and also guaranteeing continuity to work at the company. Although there are still violations where the sanctions for violating the PKWT mechanism, namely changing the status to PKWTT, cannot be implemented so that there is a work agreement that always continues, but in the mind of the labor union, it is a solution to guarantee the continuity of work for PKWT workers in the company. This study limits the discussion to the problem of implementing PKWT at PT. GCP is in accordance with Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and how the role of PUK GSPMII PT. GCP in overseeing the fulfillment of work norms and conditions and providing guarantees for the continuity of employment of contract workers in the company. This thesis research uses the empirical normative legal method where the authors conduct research on the application of labor law at PT. Grafitecindo Ciptaprima, where the researcher is in charge of the trade union. Employers must comply with the legal rules regarding the PKWT mechanism, including the fulfillment of temporary work norms and conditions for trade unions must have a good understanding and strategy in dealing with the problem of violating the PKWT mechanism, not only prioritizing legal certainty but also but also it would be better if it prioritizes the principles benefit, especially for workers.

The global process of society information has covered almost all countries of the world and is currently the core of scientific, technical and socio-economic development. The effectiveness of the power exercise in any state depends on its information support. Indeed, without information, successful political structure, the development of mass political consciousness as well as the interaction of the subject and the object of government are impossible. That is why this research aims to improve the methodics of evaluation of informational security through theoretical-methodological substantiation, forming and calculation of integral indexes of its competitiveness of a country. Global economic crisis had consequences for almost every country and cannot be ignored by any conditions, that is why the methodic of informational security calculations should be adapted to modern economic conditions. Cardinal changes in political, economic and social conditions in Ukraine causes inaccessibility of approaches to information security level calculations and particularly in the national security system. In modern scientific schools the questions of effective informational security have not been sufficiently studied. The aim of this article is to analyze active methods of state informational safety level calculations in order to adapt their indexes to actual global circumstances in Ukraine and in the world. Integral informational security have been composed of such components (indicators): income of the broadband Internet access market, dynamics of broadband Internet subscribers (connections), penetration rate of fixed broadband access (number of subscribers per 100 people), dynamics of Internet penetration (percentage of Internet users to the total population of the country), Network Readiness Index of the country, ICT Development Index of the state, Global Innovation Index, capital investments in intangible assets of Ukraine (that is, in software and databases). Every component of informational safety has factors of relevance and indispensability of reinforcement of national competitiveness on security foundations are substantiated. A taxonomic indicator is used to measure the level of informational safety. The paper proves that each of the components of the state informational security has almost equal input in forming its integral index.

Uraniferous Leucogranites in the Rössing Area, Namibia: New Insights from Geologic Mapping and Airborne Hyperspectral Imagery
Authors: Gray Tim , Kinnaird Judith , Laberge Justin , Caballero Alejandro
Published: March 2021

This study combines historical exploration data with new mapping, underpinned by airborne hyperspectral imagery, to provide a detailed camp-scale geologic view of the Rössing uranium mine area in the Damara orogen, Namibia. The Neoproterozoic Damaran metasedimentary host rocks to uranium deposits of the Rössing area structurally overlie Paleoproterozoic basement rock. Both units were subjected to polyphase deformation and upper amphibolite to lower granulite facies metamorphism during Pan-African orogenesis. The sequence was voluminously intruded by leucogranites, where younger phases may contain ore-grade uranium as magmatic uraninite and traces of betafite, together with secondary uranium minerals. Early, postdepositional modifications to the Damaran sequence included partial dolomitization of marble units and development of evaporite dissolution and diapiric breccias. Major pre-D3 extensional structures developed in conjunction with recumbent, isoclinal folding and acted to focus the intrusion of early, mostly barren leucogranites generated primarily through anatexis of Damaran metasediments. Syn-D4 leucogranites overprint complex interference fold geometries that resulted from D3 deformation. D4 leucogranites were emplaced under predominantly ductile, transtensional conditions, into NNE-trending zones oriented highly oblique to all preexisting structures. These steeply dipping zones provided the prerequisite conditions for partial melt material to be derived from uraniferous basement lithologies. The concentration of magmatic uranium was promoted where leucogranite melt material interacted with carbonates and sulfide-bearing Damaran metasedimentary units. In the Rössing area these horizons occur at the Khan-Rössing Formation contact zone for the SJ, SK, SH, Z20, and Husab deposits and within and above the Arandis Formation for the Z19 deposit leucogranites.
Corporate Governance Mechanisms and Firm Performance in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Boshnak Helmi A.
Published: March 2021

This paper examines the impact of corporate governance mechanisms including board size, independence, and meeting frequency, audit committee size and meeting frequency, CEO duality and ownership concentration on the operational, financial and market performance of Saudi listed firms using a contingent theoretical-based framework drawing on agency theory, stewardship theory and resource dependence theory. This study examines 210 listed Saudi Stock Exchange firms over the timeframe 2017 to 2019. The paper applies both a manual content and regression analysis approach. The results show that firm performance deteriorates with board size and independence, audit committee and meeting frequency, and the presence of CEO role duality, while performance improves with board meeting frequency and ownership concentration. Thus, Saudi firms should respond by maintaining smaller boards and more frequent meetings, keeping the Chair and CEO roles separate, and maintaining smaller audit committees with more focused meetings. Further, the appointment of independent directors only makes a meaningful contribution to firm performance where they are truly independent. Finally, more concentrated ownership tends to encourage better firm performance due to the regime of monitoring and discipline concomitant with more powerful shareholders. The implications of this paper are threefold. First, the implementation by Saudi Arabia of the latest corporate governance regulations and IFRS adoption almost certainly impact firm performance markedly. Second, corporate governance regulations should recognize the role of more frequent board meetings and more concentrated ownership in enhancing corporate performance. Third, stakeholders should apply pressure on investee firms to maintain smaller boards, engage genuinely independent directors, separate the role of Chairman and CEO, and maintain smaller audit committees with fewer and more effective meetings. The results should help corporate boards when deciding on the best corporate governance mechanisms to enhance firm performance. Further, the study should provide policy makers with a better understanding of the corporate governance structures required to promote better performance by drawing on existing theories and the empirical modelling, in an emerging economy setting such as Saudi Arabia, a new and broader data set, thereby informing better future policy and protecting shareholders’ interests.
Surgical Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Pain in Orthopaedic Surgery Residents: A Multicenter Survey Study
Authors: McQuivey Kade S. , Deckey David G. , Christopher Zachary K. , Rosenow Christian S. , Mi Lanyu , Spangehl Mark J. , Bingham Joshua S.
Published: March 2021

Purpose:

Owing to the nature of orthopaedic surgery, occupational hazards and musculoskeletal pain (MSP) are inherent. These hazards have been well-documented among practicing orthopaedic surgeons, but there remains a paucity of data regarding MSP among orthopaedic surgery residents. The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence and quantify the extent of work-related MSP among orthopaedic surgical residents. We also sought to analyze resident attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding surgical ergonomics.

Methods:

An online survey was sent to 78 orthopaedic surgery resident program directors to be distributed to residents within their programs. The survey included three main sections: symptoms by body part, attitudes/beliefs/behaviors regarding surgical ergonomics, and finally demographics. Pain was reported as using the 0 to 10 Numeric Rating Scale, with 0 = no pain and 10 = maximum pain. Several questions about resident well-being were assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory.

Results:

Seventy-six orthopaedic surgery residents completed the survey, 72% men and 28% women. Most residents (97%) experience procedural-related MSP. Average pain scores of all residents was 3.52/10. Notable levels of MSP (≥4/10) were most common in the lower back (35%), neck (29.7%), and feet (25.7%). A positive association exists between higher MSP and lower work satisfaction (P = 0.005), burnout (P = 0.04), and callousness toward others (P < 0.0001). MSP has notable impact on resident behaviors including over-the-counter medication use, stamina, concentration, and degree of irritability.

Conclusion:

The prevalence of MSP among orthopaedic surgical residents is extremely high. Our study demonstrates that MSP has a notable impact on resident concentration, degree of irritability, and other burnout symptoms. The results of this study highlight the importance of limiting compromising procedural positions, ergonomic optimization, and increasing the awareness of the importance of ergonomics among residents. This could have future implications on productivity and career longevity.
Rapid Recovery Pathway for Postoperative Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Authors: Ahdoot Eli S. , Fan Juston , Aminian Afshin
Published: March 2021

Introduction:

Postoperative pain protocols play a critical role in recovery and prognosis. Rapid recovery pathway (RRP) is a novel multimodal postoperative analgesic platform with accelerated rehabilitation.

Methods:

A retrospective review of 44 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who underwent posterior spinal fusion between 2014 and 2016 was conducted. Outcomes of a conventional postoperative pain pathway were compared with patients who received RRP postoperatively.

Results:

RRP patients had shorter length of stay (3.3 vs 4.4 days, P < 0.0001), duration with Foley (1.4 vs 2.3 days, P = 0.01), and fewer days for physical therapy clearance (2.2 vs 3.5 days, P < 0.0001). Overall pain score for RRP patients was lower (1.6 vs 2.9, P = 0.0005). The number of days with patient-controlled analgesia was shorter (1.7 vs 2.6 days, P = 0.002), and daily pain scores were consistently lower in RRP. Overall narcotic use was not significantly different (P = 1).

Conclusion:

Implementation of a standardized RRP with multimodal pain management and early mobilization strategies resulted in reduced daily and overall pain scores, earlier clearance by physical therapy, decreased length of stay, and patient-controlled analgesia usage, but overall no difference in narcotic consumption.

Variability of the Orthopaedic Away Rotation: A Survey of Orthopaedic Program Directors
Authors: Blood Travis , Hill Kelly , Brown Symone , Mulcahey Mary K. , Eberson Craig P.
Published: March 2021

Introduction:

With the increasing interest and pursuit of away rotations by orthopaedic surgery applicants, program directors (PDs) must use information from the 4-week performance to determine who is good fit for their program. For students, despite the increasing cost and time, they are faced with a variable experience from program to program. The purpose of this study was to survey PDs from Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education–accredited orthopaedic residency programs to better understand how programs approach the away rotation process.

Methods:

An anonymous online survey was distributed to PDs of all 164 accredited allopathic orthopaedic surgery residency programs in the United States. The survey included questions regarding PD demographics, away rotations structure, and the process of interviewing rotating students. The data were aggregated, and an analysis was done.

Results:

A total of 61 of 164 (37%) surveys were completed. There was variability regarding the number of away students that a program accepted over the course of a year, and the number of students that a program will accept at one time. Fifty-two of 55 (94%) programs evaluated medical students immediately after their rotation. Visiting students were most commonly evaluated by the program's residents, followed by attendings they rotated with, and only 46% of PDs. Furthermore, PDs placed the most emphasis on work ethic and social interaction when evaluating students compared with surgical skills and orthopaedic knowledge. Only 38.5% of programs reported that visiting students were guaranteed an interview. If granted an interview, 80% of programs require that the students return for interview day.

Conclusions:

The visiting rotation has become increasingly more valuable for students; however, there is notable variability in the process between programs. Creating a more standardized away rotation could decrease the variability and facilitate a more beneficial experience to the student and program.

Published: March 2021

Thalassemia is a chronic illness with having serious psychological challenges for adolescent thalassemic survivors. Many experienced problematic issues with their self-efficacy and coping as impacts of the disease and its treatments. Although thalassemia is a major health problem in Indonesia that challenges health care professionals to improve adolescent thalassemic survivors' quality of life, no studies have been undertaken to improve self-efficacy and coping of those adolescents with thalassemia by using psycho-education. This research aim was to examine the effect of psycho-education on self-efficacy and coping of adolescents with thalassemia. The study was conducted in two hospitals in Garut, Indonesia. The research method used was quasi-experiment with the pre-post test without the control group. The participants were thalassemic adolescent survivors aged 12-18 years old with 48 determined by total sampling technique. All participants received the psycho-education intervention with lecturing and booklet. Participants' self-efficacy was measured with the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scales (CDSES), and their coping was measured with the Ways of Coping (WOC) Scale. The collected data were analized by using the Shapiro-Wilks to test for normality and the Wilcoxon test. The results showed there was meaningful difference with self-efficacy before and after intervention (p<0,001), and meaningful difference on adolescent thalassemic survivors’coping before and after intervention (p=0,004). It can be concluded that there was a significant effect of psycho-education on self-efficacy and coping of those adolescent thalassemic survivors. Therefore, it is recommended that the psycho-education intervention can be used as one of nursing intervention for enhancing self-efficacy and coping of adolescents with major thalassemia.

Published: March 2021

Neuroplasticity is a basic feature of neuronal system which provides function rebuilt or developmental dysfunction repair. Hearing impairment can have an impact on intelligence levels, organization and structure of cognitive processes. Cognitive capacities profiles of deaf people present neuropsychological results of functional reorganization of brain.

208 children were accepted for this study. Experimental group consisted of 126 children suffering from sensorineural hearing insufficiency. 26 children were diagnosed with right-sided hearing loss, 34 children were diagnosed with left-sided hearing loss and 66 children were diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss. Control group consisted of 82 normally hearing children, confirmed in audiometric assessment. In order to establish levels of cognitive abilities and intelligence in patients enrolled for the study polish adaptation of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R) was administered.

Children with bilateral hearing loss obtained worse results in verbal scale compared to well hearing controls. Verbal intelligence in control group was statistically higher than in right-sided auditory dysfunction group. Control group average result in nonverbal scale was statistically significantly higher compared to left-sided hearing loss patients. Children with right-sided auditory dysfunction obtained higher results in nonverbal scale compared to children with left-sided auditory dysfunction. Left-sided hearing impairment group had higher scores in almost all subtests of verbal scale than right-sided hearing impairment group.

Left-sided auditory disability enhances linguistic capacity, which indicates compensation abilities of left hemisphere responsible for verbal processes. Right-sided auditory disability enhances analytic processes, visual synthesis and image reasoning, which indicates compensation abilities of right hemisphere responsible for nonverbal processes.

Authors: Lorek Elżbieta
Published: March 2021

The aim of the article is to demonstrate the relationship between the concepts of corporate social responsibility and sustainable production and consumption. CSR helps the organization increase efficiency and credibility, engage in dialogue and engage stakeholders in cooperation, as well as identify social, environmental and ethical risk management. The implementation of CSR requires a comprehensive change in the functioning of the enterprise. Companies that have implemented CSR should, above all, transparently inform consumers about their products, i.e. implement the principles of the European product policy and the guidelines
of sustainable consumption and production. The implementation of CSR principles into the company’s business strategy is conducive to building a long-term competitive advantage and relations with the social environment of companies and its stakeholders. For companies that adhere to the principles of CSR, this helps to effectively use the instruments of sustainable consumption and production and thus contribute to sustainable development while increasing European innovation potential and European competitiveness.

THE IMPACT OF THE ARMENIAN-AZERBAIJANI NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT ON THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF TRANSCAUCASIA
Authors: Yusubau Farban
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the frozen conflict between two sovereign States in Transcaucasia: Armenia and Azerbaijan, which can be undermined at any time due to unresolved issues, and destroy the economy not only in the region. The purpose of the article is to eliminate this conflict with possible instruments aimed at eternal peace and ensuring economic security in the region. During the research, the author used methods such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, grouping, etc. The history and causes of this conflict have been studied. In the result of the analysis, it is concluded that the influence of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, today, in frozen form, has a negative impact, primarily on Azerbaijan’s economy since occupied over 20 percent of its territory, and, as a result of occupation,
destroyed towns, the entire infrastructure, and there was more than one million Azerbaijanis refugees. As well as part of the territory of Azerbaijan - the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic-was blocked by Armenia. In turn, Armenia, because of its occupation policy, has also been blocked by Azerbaijan and Turkey, and thus does not allow its economy to grow. The Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has also become the main reason that global economic projects in the region have been implemented bypassing Armenia. Turkey is the only country in the region that does not have vested interests in the conflict, and supports and fairly protects the interests of Azerbaijan on all international political and economic platforms. Officially Russia and Iran recognized the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan, like all countries of the world, but not enough strongly supported and continue to support Armenia, since both countries have their own political and economic interests in the Caucasus. It was revealed that the fear of war at any time and the existing problems did not affect the leading position of Azerbaijan in the Transcaucasia, and this country could be one of the guarantors of economic security not only in the region, but also in the world. It is determined that if this conflict is resolved by military means, local problems can cause the creation of a world-wide war, since Azerbaijan and Armenia are members of various world organizations-military blocs. Peaceful solutions to this conflict are proposed.

The aim of this article is to show the significance of managing diversity in modern organizations. Focus was mainly placed on analysis and assessment of the most significant practices in the scope of diversity management and on presenting diversity in the structure of: total employment, and supervisory and management board members. In comparison to other available articles, this paper is concerned with socially responsible companies being part of the new WIG-ESG Index listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The literature study method was employed. Source materials for empirical research were obtained by studying documents of the analyzed entities. This article indicates that, despite implementation of a series of measures relating to diversity management, many companies do so in an incidental
and occasional manner. The greatest diversity is present in the structure of total employment, whereas it is absent at higher positions in the organizational structure.
MANAGEMENT OF A MEDICAL PROJECT WITH AN EXAMPLE: COMPREHENSIVE CARE AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION)
Authors: Nowakowska-Szmalec Ewa , Foltys Joachim
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the thematic area related to the management of the medical procedure from the point of view of the payer - National Health Fund - NHF. For the purposes of the article, the authors assumed that the medical procedure is a project. As an example of the project, the project: Comprehensive care after myocardial infarction (KOS) was taken. Participatory observation of the authors of the article showed that it is necessary to treat every contract concluded and financed by the NHF with individual providers as a project. The treatment of individual medical procedures contracted and financed by the NHF requires
the consistent application of all the rules related to project management. It is extremely important, but at the same time very difficult, to define medical procedures (projects) financed and contracted by the NHF. This includes, above all, the structures (groups) of medical projects, for example: cardiological, pulmonological, psychiatric and other. A very important problem is the definition of criteria for standardization of medical projects.

The article presents the concentration level of agricultural production in the world by continent. The source of materials was data from FAOSTAT. The research period covered the years 2004 - 2016. In the analyzed period, the value of gross agricultural production doubled. Various trends were observed within the period studied. In the years 2004-2010, in all regions of the world, there was an increase in gross production of agriculture, while in the period 2010-2016 only in two – North America and Asia. It was noted that there was a high concentration of agricultural production, mainly concentrated in Asia and Europe. In the analyzed period, there was a relative increase in the share of agricultural production in Asia and South America as compared to other regions. Individual groups of agricultural products, such as cereals and animal production, were also analyzed. In both cases, concentration was different. The pace of concentration in animal production was higher than in plant production.
Ein Vierteljahrhundert russisches Strafgesetzbuch: Entstehung, Überblick, Entwicklung
Authors: Himmelreich Antje
Published: March 2021

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990 s, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was enacted only in 1996 after long-lasting political struggles. The main priority of the criminal law changed: protection of a person instead of protection of state became the main target. Since that time the Russian Criminal Code was amended 255 (!) times. Special Part of the Code received 123 new articles. The majority of criminal offences was reformed many times, often at short intervals. Part of legal academia regards the numerous changes as a de facto enactment of “new criminal code”. Russian criminal law is regarded as instable. In general, one can identify two main tendencies of the reforms. On the one hand, the penalties for grave and particularly grave offences were aggravated. This development is partly owed to internationalisation of the Russian criminal law - in particular to the adaptation of the requirements of the Council of Europe since 1997. Organised crime, terrorism, extremism, corruption, crimes against minors are just a few examples of new offences provided in the Code. On the other hand, Russian criminal law decriminalises or decreases the penalty for minor offences. The liberalisation of criminal law with regard to economic crimes is part of the latter development. The main target of the liberalisation is to minimise the “unjust pressure” upon the business community by means of criminal law. Despite international success, Russia did not introduce corporate criminal law. The main critical point is the irreconcilability of the corporate criminal law with the fault principle of the Russian criminal law. Hence, Russian law provides for liability of legal entities only in the framework of administrative law. Numerous amendments to the classification of criminal offences, systems of sentencing and penalisation in the General Part of the Criminal Code have substantively contributed to the humanisation of criminal law. Notably, capital punishment is not formally abolished in Russian law. However, the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of November 2009 prohibits its imposition.
Exploration for Fe-Mn Oxides Using Geochemical Signatures in Soil: A Case Study of Part of Northwestern Nigeria
Authors: Sijuade Bamigboye Olufemi
Published: March 2021

Part of northwestern Nigeria was investigated with the aim of delineating concealed mineralization using geochemical signatures in soils. To achieve this, 30 selected soil samples were analysed geochemically. The result of the elemental analysis was subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and isograde plotting, while selected elements were correlated. From the geochemical result, most of the analysed elements have anomalous value in the southern part of the area, while the least values are in the southwestern. From the PCA analysis, six factor groups were distinct. The factor groups were interpreted geochemical to fingerprint mineralization in the area. The result of correlation analysis shows that Fe is negatively correlated with most of the correlated elements. The study concluded that the central part of the study area is mineralized with both manganite and goethite. In addition, manganese mineralization is indicated by elemental association: Zn+As+Be+Bi+Co+Nb+Ni+CsP+Al+Ca+Cd+Li+K, while iron mineralization is indicated with Zr+Th+Pd+Mo+V+Sn+Cr+Ce+InSc+P+Pb association.

The monograph responds to the issue of contracting out services in public sector. The aim of the monograph is to develop the theory of contracting out services in public sector and to propose solutions for the contract management in the public sector. To prove the assumption about low quality contract management in public sector in SR and CR as the reason of contracting out failure is the research issue developed from contracting out effectiveness to contract management quality. Original research issue – relationship between contracting out outcomes and quality contract management and innovative methodology testing this relationship brings valuable results in the dimension of contracting out theory in an international context and to define science-based ground for proposing solutions to the contract management in public sector.
Review of Odontoscelio Kieffer, 1905 (Platygastroidea, Scelionidae) with the description of two new species from India
Authors: Veenakumari Kamalanathan , Mohanraj Prashanth
Published: March 2021

All species of Odontoscelio Kieffer, 1905 are imaged, with keys provided to all known males and females in this genus. Two new species, O. agnieleae sp. nov. and O. spinosus sp. nov., are described from India. The generic concept of the genus Odontoscelio is discussed. The presence of axillular spines differentiates this genus from other teleasines such as Dvivarnus Rajmohana & Veenakumari, 2011, Gryonoides Dodd, 1920 and the Trimorus carus (Nixon, 1936) species group, which possess lateral mesoscutellar spines.

The “Math by the Month” activities are designed to engage students to think like mathematicians. Students may work on the activities individually or in small groups, or they may be used with the whole class as problems of the week. No solutions are suggested so that students will look to themselves for mathematical justification, thereby developing the confidence to validate their work.
Quand le nom d’un témoin est un nom d’auteur. Le Jan Karski de Yannick Haenel et les limites du témoignage
Authors: Velcic-Canivez Mirna
Published: March 2021

Le témoignage est un acte de langage et un acte de discours. Lorsque nous l’étudions du point de vue de l’énonciation et plus précisément du point de vue de la réception, le nom propre du témoin joue un rôle important. Cet article met en évidence les propriétés de ce nom à partir de l’exemple du roman de Yannick Haenel, Jan Karski, où le nom « Jan Karski » a une référence multiple et un statut pluriel. Dans le roman, ce nom propre se laisse analyser en tant que nom d’auteur de plusieurs publications de témoignage, en tant qu’anthroponyme et enfin en tant que nom de témoin associé à la voix d’un autre, plus exactement à la voix de l’auteur du roman. Nous utilisons le concept de « nom d’auteur » comme argument permettant d’interpréter la tension qui traverse le projet poétique de Haenel. L’analyse suggère quelques raisons supplémentaires pour lesquelles le roman suscite des avis fortement contrastés chez les historiens et les critiques littéraires.
Le nom de l’auteur dans son texte (autobiographie et autofiction)
Authors: Baudelle Yves
Published: March 2021

Du côté de la poétique, c’est surtout la taxinomie des genres qui s’est penchée sur le nom d’auteur (Philippe Lejeune, Le pacte autobiographique, 1975) en en faisant le critère décisif des discriminations génériques en régime autobiographique, débat qui n’a cessé depuis d’être relancé. C’est sur cette base que l’on se propose d’examiner les mentions du nom de l’auteur dans son texte (autobiographie et autofiction). Dès lors que l’autobiographie est un récit homodiégétique auquel l’emploi d’un je suffit pour se déployer, il faut bien que l’écrivain, pour certifier son identité, introduise son propre nom dans son texte. Retrouve-t-on alors dans les écritures de soi les mêmes procédés d’insertion onomastique que ceux décrits par la poétique du roman ? Cette signature doit-elle surgir d’emblée ? Et, au-delà de sa première occurrence, peut-on cerner un fonctionnement du nom de l’auteur dans son texte ? Chemin faisant, on se demande aussi si cette stylistique du nom de l’auteur ne risque pas de saper la solidité de la thèse désormais classique de l’homonymat comme constituant de l’autobiographie. Pour ce faire, on examine un certain nombre de cas limites (absence du patronyme, noms de jeune fille, substitutions métonymiques, etc.) que la théorie littéraire a souvent brandis pour contester les vues fondatrices de Philippe Lejeune.
Se pasticher ou comment s’imiter pour se réinventer
Authors: Decout Maxime
Published: March 2021

Le nom de l’auteur : on sait à quel point il vaut, aussi bien pour l’écrivain que pour son lecteur, comme une marque de fabrique, une signature, et à quel point il adhère à une oeuvre, à ce qu’on appelle parfois un style. Mais l’écriture est-elle un bien que l’on peut posséder ? N’y a-t-il pas là l’illusion d’une autonomie et d’une plénitude rassurantes ? Car toute écriture est pétrie d’influences et est soumise à l’irruption des mots des autres. Il existe pourtant une parade pour celui qui cherche, coûte que coûte, à affirmer son nom d’auteur en se prémunissant des assauts de l’autre et de son style : s’imiter soi-même, pratiquer l’auto-pastiche, pour se réinventer.
