Is the Author’s death Coming?
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, SEO EUN YOUNG
Published: August 2023

This article calls for a more productive discussion between concerns that generated AI will replace creators and the relief that creative areas will remain unique to humans. Critics say the author’s death will not come. However, it has a clue that it is ‘at the moment.’ AI’s learning principles and speed of development have exceeded human predictions. In the end, it is time to think about “how content and enjoyment will change due to AI” rather than insisting on “human’s unique domain” at a time when AI will be used as a tool for creation. Through discussions on the “Dezuka 2020 Project,” Otsuka Eiji’s “AI Literature”, Azuma Hiroki’s “Snobbism” and Ochiai Yoichi’s “Digital Nature”, Azuma Hiroki claims that “the author (human) will not be the only creator of the work, but will be a collaborator of the AI system that generates text.” Through this, it is much more productive to think about “what form of content AI-human collaboration will create” rather than saying that human territory remains for AI’s work that must go through human hands. This article argues that it is necessary to think about how the interaction between content and users will change the perception and attitude toward the world and how to respond to it.

Preferences of Farmers for Educational Materials to Build their Capacity for Small-Scale Urban Gardening: A Case of Maryland
Authors: Karki Lila B. , Bhandari Prem
Published: August 2023

This paper explores the preferences of urban gardening farmers for various training modules, learning resources, and timing for participation in training programs. Capacity building programs are critical to empowering urban gardeners to sustain farming. Using the data collected in 2021 from 14 urban gardeners in Maryland, the results show that farmers preferred audio-visual learning modules such as digital learning videos and comprehensive training manuals the most. These were followed by one-on-one consultation, peer-to-peer interaction, hands-on training, interactive meetings, and participatory workshops. Partnerships with local and community farmers' markets; partnerships with farmers’ forums, groups, and associations; and educational events such as training programs were among the three top preferred learning resources. Regarding the time and schedule preferences, they recommended day-long multi-session weekend workshops over weekdays. These findings suggest a need to adapt the capacity building modalities and timing of training to increase clientele participation for effective program impact.

Authors: Castro María Belén , Beltrán Kevin
Published: August 2023

En este estudio, se analizó la correlación entre el crecimiento económico (PIB) y la Tasa de Desempleo en el Ecuador, en el período comprendido entre el 2012-2021; el parámetro de análisis es la Ley de Okun. Para complementar esta investigación se utilizaron indicadores como el PIB Per Cápita, Inflación, IPC, la Tasa de Interés y las Reservas Monetarias; a más de esto se suman externalidades como el precio del petróleo y acontecimientos fortuitos como fenómenos naturales y sanitarios. Los resultados del análisis develaron que hubo 4 años en los que no se cumplió la ley (2015, 2016, 2019, 2020), lo cual llevó a montar una indagación extensiva de las variables que influyeron en este fenómeno económico. Al analizar los hechos, concluimos que los precios del petróleo, a la par con desastres naturales, fueron responsables de la caída del PIB en los años 2015 y 2016 principalmente. Este análisis complejo permite comprender las dinámicas económicas relacionadas con el crecimiento y la Tasa de Desempleo en Ecuador, identificando los factores que influyeron en el incumplimiento de la Ley de Okun y resaltando la importancia de eventos como los precios del petróleo, los fenómenos naturales y el impacto de la pandemia en la economía del país.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk untuk menganalisis Efektivitas Penyusunan Rencana Kebutuhan Barang Milik Daerah (RKBMD) di Badan Pengelola Keuangan dan Aset Daerah (BPKAD) Provinsi Sumsel. Efektivitas Penyusunan RKBMD di BPKAD Provinsi Sumsel difokuskan pada Efektivitas Penyusunan RKBMD di BPKAD Provinsi Sumsel yang meliputi: pendekatan sumber (resource approach), pendekatan proses (process approach), pendekatan sasaran (goals approach). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan tingkat eksplanasi deskriptif. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini analisis menggunakan model interaktif yang meliputi tiga komponen analisis, yaitu kondensasi, sajian data, penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil Penelitian menunjukan, berdasarkan Pendekatan Sumber (Resource Approach), waktu penetapan RKBMD seringkali terlambat dari jadwal yang telah ditetapkan, dikarenakan kurangnya SDM yang dimiliki BPKAD Provinsi Sumsel khususnya di Bidang Kesekretariatan sehingga dalam penyusunan Rencana Kebutuhan Barang Milik Pemerintah Provinsi masih belum optimal. Sarana yang dimiliki BPKAD Provinsi Sumsel sudah cukup memadai dalam pelaksanaan tugas dan fungsi pemerintahan, hanya saja masih kurang dalam hal pembangunan aplikasi yang bisa memudahkan pekerjaan dan belum tersedianya standar barang dan standar kebutuhan, yang disebabkan aplikasi untuk penyusunan RKBMD belum terintegrasi dengan aplikasi keuangan. Berdasarkan Pendekatan Proses (Process Approach), kendala dalam penyusunan RKBMD ini antara lain disebabkan RKBMD lebih bersifat teknis dan lebih dapat menggambarkan real belanja. Dalam RKBMD spesifikasi barang harus jelas, dan untuk penyusunan kebutuhan pemeliharaan RKPBMD diperlukan pengetahuan dan kemampuan teknis tentang kondisi barang. Oleh sebab itu, maka untuk penyusunan RKBMD/RKPBMD user atau pihak yang terkait dengan barang yang dibutuhkan, seperti: operator mesin, teknisi, pejabat teknis, dan lain-lain harus dilibatkan. Berdasarkan Pendekatan Sasaran (Goals Approach).

Quality of life is a general term for health status, although the term also has a special meaning that ranks the population according to objective and subjective aspects of health status. A disease that reflects a lot of quality of life related to a person's disease is diabetes. Many countries have explained that diabetes is a disease that is serious enough to cause high mortality.

Authors: ALBAYRAK ERDOĞAN Eda , BAYKAL Elif
Published: August 2023

In recent years, the work-life balance concept gained more importance among businesses to have efficient and high-performance employees. These businesses developed various policies to ensure work-life balance. In this sense, the Covid-19 pandemic that emerged in China in 2020 and impacted the whole world in a short time also had an impact on the business world. The majority of the businesses decided to shift to a remote working model for employees that met the requirements since individuals need to stay away from crowded spaces to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Ensuring work-life balance became more important with remote working. The employees struggle to create a work-life balance since there is no distinct border between home and work. At the same time, it can be seen that employees have different perspectives according to their psychological capital level. Therefore, psychological capital is one of the factors that impact the work-life balance. In this study, the relationship between employees’ remote working and work-life balance is investigated with the mediator role of psychological capital in this relationship. The analysis conducted within this study investigated whether the work-life balance of employees applying a remote working model changed according to their psychological capital. In the research, a questionnaire was applied as a quantitative data collection method. SPSS 26.0 is used in data analysis for this study. It has been revealed that the relationships between remote work and the work-life balance of employees with high psychological capital are positive and significant.
La dîme dans l’Islande médiévale. Sagas, lois et hiérarchies communautaires
Authors: Cattaneo Grégory
Published: August 2023

Située en périphérie du monde catholique, l’Islande médiévale n’est pas si éloignée de l’Occident par son processus de collecte de la dîme, de sa redistribution et du rôle fondamental joué par les communautés d’habitants. La lecture attentive des sources normatives et narratives atteste du changement sociétal que connut l’Islande vers 1100 avec l’acclimatation de cette institution étrangère. Dans le maillage ecclésial imposé par les politiques épiscopales, les communautés deviennent des territoires soumis à la dîmée. De nouveaux centres de pouvoir apparaissent dans ce paysage, les fermes-églises, lieux de collection du prélèvement décimal ; tout comme de nouvelles élites locales comme les décimateurs qui se confondent parfois avec les anciennes élites du monde paysan. Étudier la dîme en Islande revient à se poser la question des hiérarchies communautaires, puisque les sources identifient au sein du groupe des bændr, des indigents et des élites, évoluant dans le cadre territorial offert par la communauté et autour du nouveau centre de pouvoir que représente la ferme-église.

Published: August 2023

Background: Over the last decade, Iran has experienced a declining birth trend. Identifying the proximate determinants of fertility intentions among married women is informative for population studies. This study aimed to examine the importance of three immediate antecedents of fertility intention.Methods: We invited 1,100 married women to complete a well-validated questionnaire based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The sampling framework consisted of visitors attending hospitals in two cities in southeastern Iran. Intention for having children was measured using the item “Do you intend to have a/another child during the next 3 years?” Attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were measured using eight, three, and three items, respectively. Structural equation modeling was used to specify the model and to test the predictive ability of the TPB constructs.Results: The response rate was 90.7% (N=998), and the mean±standard deviation age of the respondents was 34.8±7.4 years. More than 50% of the respondents reported intending to have a child in the next 3 years. All three TPB model constructs showed significant associations with fertility intentions. The standardized beta coefficients for attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were 0.74, 0.41, and 0.55, respectively.Conclusion: The TPB model showed that psychological mechanisms play an important role in predicting the childbearing intentions of married women in Iran. Of the three TPB constructs, attitude was the strongest predictor of the intention to have a child.

A Narrative Review on Obstructive Sleep Apnea in China: A Sleeping Giant in Disease Pathology
Authors: Wei Yuxi , Liu Yu , Ayas Najib , Laher Ismail
Published: August 2023

We review the aspects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is the most common respiratory disorder of sleep in China. Approximately 176 million people in China have apnea/hypopnea index ≥5/h, ranking first among the ten countries with the highest prevalence rates. Two-thirds of patients do not receive treatment at all or withdraw after only brief treatment in a survey nested in two centers in China. Drowsiness and progressive cognitive impairment related to OSA decrease work performance and add to workplace errors and accidents. Many patients with OSA remain undiagnosed. Untreated OSA increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases. Undiagnosed and untreated OSA patients place a great burden on healthcare costs and services, and thus enormous economic burdens across most countries across the world, due to the global epidemic of obesity, an important contributor to OSA. Continuous positive airway pressure is the first-line treatment for OSA in China; however, adherence levels are poor. Effective and less labor-intensive methods that improve adherence need to be further investigated. Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture are promising treatments but with unproven efficacy.

The Right Against Double Jeopardy (Non Bis in Idem) and the Drafting History of Article 14(7) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, 1966
Authors: Mujuzi Jamil Ddamulira
Published: August 2023

Article 14(7) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, 1966 provides that “[n]o one shall be liable to be tried or punished again for an offence for which he has already been finally convicted or acquitted in accordance with the law and penal procedure of each country”. The drafters of that provision agreed that once a person had finally been convicted or acquitted of an offence, they should not be tried or punished for the same offence based on the same facts or evidence. The ICCPR does not define what a “final” judgment amounts to for the purposes of article 14(7). This is so because, after several days of deliberation, the drafters of the ICCPR failed to agree on the definition of that term. Despite some states proposing such a definition, the drafters instead agreed to omit it completely, with the understanding that each state will determine the meaning of a “final judgment” within their own context. This contribution illustrates the drafting history of article 14(7), which shows that the drafters agreed on the definition of the word “finally” in the provision, but that they decided against including the definition in the provision. This means that states are required to follow that definition when interpreting article 14(7). Furthermore, this study also shows the impact of this drafting history on the reservations made by various states. It is argued that certain of these reservations to article 14(7) are incompatible with the drafting history of the provision.
A Courtroom Misdiagnosis: A Historical Overview of the South African Approach to Evidence of Persons with Communication Disabilities Before 1996
Authors: Ntontela Mahlubandile
Published: August 2023

Over the past centuries, the English and South African jurisdictions have struggled with the best approach to hearing evidence of persons with impaired speech. The English courts’ challenges in hearing such evidence have led to the courts there developing legal principles for receiving evidence of witnesses with communication disabilities. Unfortunately, these principles have led to courts misdiagnosing witnesses with communication disabilities. Consequently, the courts treated witnesses with communication disabilities similarly to witnesses with mental illness. Accordingly, under English law and later also under South African law, for some time, people with communication disabilities were detained indefinitely without trial. Such detention was subject to pardon by a designated government official. This contribution examines how the courts have ill-treated persons with communication disabilities in England and South Africa during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The study uses a periodisation theory to critically argue how witnesses with speech impairment were unfairly treated in both jurisdictions during this period before the promulgation of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996.
The Nationalisation of the South African Reserve Bank: a Legal-Historical Perspective of Three Central Banks
Authors: van Niekerk Gerda
Published: August 2023

The debate continues about whether the South African Reserve Bank should be nationalised or not. This contribution looks at the evolution of central banks, as well as at the origin and historical background of the central banks in three countries, namely the South African Reserve Bank, the Reserve Bank of Australia and De Nederlandsche Bank. The shares in the South African Reserve Bank belong to private shareholders; the Reserve Bank of Australia has been the property of the government of Australia since its inception; and De Nederlandsche Bank was nationalised in 1948. The potential nationalisation of the South African Reserve Bank will come with a hefty price tag, as the shareholders will have to be compensated for the value of their shares. Section 224 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 determines that the South African Reserve Bank should “protect the value of the currency in the interest of balanced and sustainable economic growth”. The constitutional power of the Bank to be responsible for monetary policy will not change if it is nationalised. This contribution recommends that the South African Reserve Bank not be nationalised due to the big cost thereof to South Africa and because not much will be achieved by such a step.
