Authors: Tisha Tanha Tabassum
Published: October 2024

As is known, Khulna, the third largest metropolis in Bangladesh has played a pivotal role in trade and industry during the 1950s and 60s. From the late 60s, the political shifts have caused a rapid decline of the industries, worsening the socio-economic condition of the workers' community and the physical condition of the surrounding urban areas of the industrial belt. Partial closures, leasing out, laying off of the mills and finally turning into urban
brownfields, have made thousands of workers jobless. Khulna Newsprint mill is such a brownfield, closed in 2002 leaving a total of 6000 workers and employees unemployed with a hope of reopening. Despite 16 years passing, they continue to hold onto this hope of relaunching the mill while living next to the mill area with multiple deprivations in socio-economic aspects. In this context, the government has introduced a new industrial policy in 2010, emphasizing investment in State Owned Enterprises only for reopening. However, without recognizing distressed vernacular communities and a concurrent regeneration plan, this strategy has proven ineffective in a developing country like Bangladesh. This research examines how distressed vernacular communities of urban brownfields can be regenerated. The objectives are to identify the socioeconomic needs of the distressed community and investigate the spatial and physical resources of the Brownfield, which can be useful for the regeneration of the distressed community. It employs qualitative case study method. Data is collected through a
questionnaire survey, focus group discussion, participant observation, Key person interview, planning document study, drawing and photography analyzed through content analysis using NVivo and Spatial Mapping analysis. In conclusion, the paper formulates a framework for the regeneration of distressed vernacular communities around the urban brownfields. It also provides recommendations for specialized policy guidelines on the sustainable regeneration of such distressed communities.

The Role of Hospital By Laws in Providing Legal Protection Against Alleged Medical Malpractice at the Padang Panjang City Regional General Hospital
Authors: Yofiza Media  , Mayestati  , Prima Resi Putri
Published: October 2024

Hospital By Laws (HBL) is an internal hospital rule designed to provide legal protection to both patients and medical personnel. In the context of Padang Panjang Hospital, HBL should function as a reference in resolving medical disputes and maintaining the quality of health services. Based on the analysis of the situation, HBL has not functioned optimally, especially in dealing with cases of alleged medical malpractice. The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of HBL in providing legal protection against alleged medical malpractice at Padang Panjang Hospital, as well as to find obstacles faced in its implementation. The method used is a sociological juridical approach with primary data obtained through interviews with related parties in the hospital, and secondary data from related legal literature. The results of the study show that many cases of alleged malpractice are resolved informally through mediation, without using strict legal procedures based on HBL. Several cases such as misalignment of surgery, incorrect installation of infusions in infants, and negligence in the installation of Nasogastric Tube (NGT) are examples of the weak implementation of HBL at Padang Panjang Hospital. The main obstacle found in the implementation of HBL is the lack of understanding and awareness from hospitals of the importance of HBL as a legal instrument. Dispute resolution is more often carried out through a family approach without involving the formal rules regulated in the HBL. This shows that there is a gap between existing regulations and practices carried out in the field. The supervision mechanism for the implementation of HBL in hospitals has also not run well, so this rule is not functioning as it should. This study suggests the need to strengthen the implementation of HBL at Padang Panjang Hospital through more intensive socialization to all medical personnel and hospital management as well as training on professional ethics and medical service standards. Supervision is needed to ensure that these rules are properly implemented in resolving medical disputes. Padang Panjang Hospital is expected to improve the quality of its services while providing better legal protection for patients.
Organization of remote work: Ukrainian legislation and standards of the European Union
Authors: Reshyvska Yana , Pavlichenko Iryna
Published: October 2024

The article explores remote work in Ukraine and its alignment with European Union (EU) standards. It analyses the Ukrainian Labour Code and the 2002 EU Framework Agreement on Telework.
It is emphasized reveals both similarities and differences between the two documents. Both emphasize the voluntary nature of telework, ensuring equal rights and protections for remote workers as those on-site. They prioritize health, safety, privacy, and confidentiality, mandating employers to provide necessary equipment and maintain safe working conditions.
The author emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between the concepts of “remote work” and “home-based work”. It is established that the term “remote work” differs from “telework” in its international understanding and encompasses a broader scope than home-based work. However, a comparison between the definitions of telework provided in the European Framework Agreement on Telework of 2002 and remote work as outlined in the Ukrainian Labour Code concludes their synonymity.
Other differences have also been scrutinized in the article: Ukraine allows employees combine remote work with office work (hybrid work), while the EU doesn’t address this yet. Ukraine also guarantees the right to disconnect, allowing remote workers to switch off after work. The EU is working on updates to cover these areas and create a more consistent approach across member States: This might include the right to disconnect, equal treatment for remote workers, and clearer rules for hybrid work.
It was concluded that both regions need further development: Ukraine needs to address remote work abroad and data security, while the EU needs to modernize its framework.
Organizational and legal principles of forensic examination in the field of road infrastructure
Authors: Pivnov Yevhen
Published: October 2024

The aim of the work is to analyze the offenses committed in the field of road infrastructure and to identify the main areas of criminal activity, for which investigation specific expertise in the form of forensic examination is applied. The methodological basis of the study of this problem was general, separate and special cognition methods.
The results of performed research demonstrate possibility of distinguishing two main areas of criminal activity in the field of road infrastructure. These are official crimes related to the field of official and professional activity, as well as war crimes related to unforeseen destruction of road infrastructure. Thus, one of socially dangerous manifestations in this area are crimes related to road construction. While investigating issues of compliance of the developed project-technical and estimate documentation with the requirements of regulatory acts in the field of road construction, as well as questions of determining compliance of the completed construction works and built objects with the project-technical documentation, often arise. Such issues can be resolved if forensic expert (experts) have relevant professional knowledge in the design, construction and operation of roads, taking into account the characteristics of road infrastructure objects. At the current stage, when all Ukrainians feel consequences of Russian aggression, another problem is clearly visible. After all, for all the crimes of this shameful war, the enemy must suffer a just punishment, and the victims must receive compensation for the material and moral damage caused to them. In connection with the emergence of new tasks that arise during the investigation of war crimes committed by the aggressor country, the question of the appropriate level of expert provision of justice in conditions of war that is directly related both to increasing effectiveness of the inspection of the scene of the event and to further conducting forensic examinations. Taking into account the fact that a huge number of objects were damaged and destroyed, there was a need to use the latest methods and approaches to effectively counteract the specified manifestations of crime, in particular, development of effective system of expert justice provision at the stages of pre-trial investigation and subsequent judicial review of cases. Thereby it is important to provide expert investigation of crimes related to the establishment of damages to the state, individuals and legal entities from the destruction of immovable and movable property.
On the question of administrative-delicit law of Ukraine
Authors: Savitska Viktoria
Published: October 2024

The article notes that the active development of social relations affected the renewal of the doctrinal foundations of Ukrainian administrative law, as a result of which there are constant discussions in the modern science of administrative law of Ukraine, including those directly related to administrative-legal relations. And therefore, the prospects of administrative and legal science, as well as the fields of administrative law, are connected with modern tasks that science sets before itself in accordance with social requirements, which must be solved, including through the application of measures. It is emphasized that administrative law regulates a significant number of different social relations, among which a special place is occupied by administrative-delict relations, which cover a variety of relations that are subject to the norms of administrative law, which is currently in the stage of systemic reform and is mostly connected with relations to ensure implementation of human and citizen rights and freedoms, consideration of administrative disputes, application of measures of administrative responsibility, bringing to disciplinary responsibility persons of public law. Attention is drawn to the attempts to reform the administrative-tort legislation, since the codified act of the administrative-tort legislation adopted in Soviet times does not meet the realities and requirements of today. Therefore, the issue of updating the administrative-delict legislation occupies a prominent place in the scientific developments of domestic legal scientists. Existing scientific discussions on the separation of administrative-tort law into an independent branch of law exist to this day, but we must state that administrative-tort law, despite its own specificity, a significant number of various functions (regulatory, binding, permitting, protective, educational etc.), is a sub-branch of administrative law, which has a special subject of legal regulation, which is a set of legal norms that regulate relations arising from the doctrine of administrative tort. It is emphasized that the formation of modern administrative-delict law involves interaction with the institutions of administrative responsibility provided for by the sectoral norms of laws, which may include the procedure of bringing a person to administrative responsibility, completely different from that regulated by the Code of Administrative Offenses, which requires new theoretical views on the establishment of a system of administrative penalties.

Oil Price and Energy Intensity Dynamics in Nigeria: Does Technical Change
Matter?
Authors: Ayadi Olusegun Felix , Williams Johnnie , Oke Babatunde Olufemi
Published: October 2024

It is critical to understand the mechanism needed to control energy intensity especially in an oilexporting
country like Nigeria, because of its consequential effect on carbon dioxide emissions
and environmental pollution. Increases in energy prices can lead to promotion of better technology
and consequently, a reduction in energy intensity through a reduction in energy demand
(consumption). This paper explores the dynamics between energy price and energy intensity to
reveal the role of technical change in the equation. The study utilizes an autoregressive distributed
lag (ARDL) and Toda-Yamamoto approaches. The study sample covers the period 1980 through
2021. The key contribution of this study to the literature is rooted in an understanding of the
dynamics of energy intensity and its interplay with technical change in a country study as a critical
piece of information for policymakers. The results indicate a change in oil price significantly
affects technical innovation. However, there is no link between technical innovation and energy
intensity. The plausible justification for the results is the enormity of oil subsidy policy of the
Nigerian government.

A Qualitative Study on the Impact of Continuous Assessments on Students' Academic Self-Confidence
Authors: Ghasemi Parisa
Published: October 2024

This study aims to explore the qualitative impact of continuous assessments on the academic self-confidence of high school students in Tehran. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews to gather in-depth insights from 23 high school students in Tehran. Participants were selected using purposive sampling to ensure they had substantial experience with continuous assessments. Data were collected until theoretical saturation was reached, ensuring comprehensive coverage of student experiences. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using inductive content analysis, with initial codes grouped into axial codes and themes to identify the main findings. The analysis revealed five primary themes: positive impacts of continuous assessments, negative impacts, the role of teachers, the sense of academic success, and challenges associated with continuous assessments. Positive impacts included increased motivation and skill development, while negative impacts encompassed stress and decreased self-confidence. The role of teachers in providing meaningful feedback was crucial in boosting students' confidence. However, challenges such as time constraints and workload were identified as factors that could undermine students' self-efficacy. Continuous assessments can significantly influence students' academic self-confidence, with both positive and negative outcomes. While these assessments can enhance motivation and learning when implemented effectively, they may also lead to stress and reduced confidence if not carefully managed. Teachers play a critical role in mitigating the negative effects by offering constructive feedback and support. This study highlights the need for balanced assessment practices that consider individual student needs and psychological well-being.

The statistical population includes all employees of the Ministry of Sports and Youth and the sports federations of football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, wrestling, and archery, with 368 individuals selected as the sample size using the sample size determination software for structural equations (GPower). The research tools were standardized questionnaires on social responsibility, professional ethics, and financial performance in organizations, which were validated using face and construct validity. For data analysis, SPSS version 28 was used for descriptive analysis, and Smart PLS version 4 was utilized for inferential analysis. The results of the structural model indicated that social responsibility and its components (ethical, economic, humanitarian, legal, and environmental responsibilities) have an effect on the financial performance of employees in the Ministry of Sports and Youth and selected sports federations (β = 0.416, T.value = 8.475). Additionally, the results showed that professional ethics impact financial performance (β = 0.522, T.value = 11.655), and that professional ethics fully mediate the causal relationship between social responsibility and financial performance. Professional ethics among employees in sports organizations serve as a mediator between social responsibility and financial performance. This professional ethics leads to community trust, the attraction of top talents, resource retention, alignment with community expectations, and the establishment of positive relationships with stakeholders. Focusing on professional ethics among employees in sports organizations can facilitate and enhance the financial performance of these organizations.
