KNOWLEDGE RISKS AND SUSTAINABILITY: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON LEBANESE KNOWLEDGE-INTENSIVE FIRMS
Authors: A. El Khatib Rabih , Abbass Ali AlaaEldine
Published: May 2022

Today’s business environment is characterized by a growing number of knowledge risks. There has been a paucity of empirical research on the impact of knowledge risks on business sustainability. This paper looks at the direct and indirect consequences of knowledge risks on a firm's sustainability. A questionnaire was administered with a sample of 427 respondents from Lebanese knowledge-intensive firms. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the research framework. The findings indicate that knowledge risks and knowledge loss have a direct and significant detrimental impact on business sustainability. The performance of organizations has a direct and significant positive impact on sustainability. The mediating effect of organizational performance in the relationship between knowledge risks and sustainability of the business was demonstrated. However, the link between human knowledge risks and both organizational performance and sustainability was not significant. Outcomes of the study will persuade knowledge-intensive firms’ managers to deploy knowledge management approaches and reduce potential knowledge risks.
Potential assessment of renewable energy resources and their power plant capacities in Iran
Authors: Ahmadi Abolfazl
Published: May 2022

AbstractToday, most developed and developing countries utilize renewable energy to meet their needs. The use of renewable energy prevents environmental pollution. A concern of the governments is to deal with environmental pollution. In this paper, the types of renewable energy used in electricity generation in Iran have been studied. Studies show that during the last 20 years, 1.5% of the amount of electricity produced in Iran is supplied by renewable energy. Iran also has a much greater potential for utilizing renewable energy. By 2020, Iran has a potential of 42000 MW use of renewable energies. However, the capacity of renewable power stations constructed in Iran is 800 MW. Different regions of Iran have high wind, solar and geothermal energy potential, which unfortunately has not been used enough to meet industrial needs.

Published: May 2022

Terapi HIV/AIDS terus mengalami perkembangan. Rejimen ARV terbaru saat ini menggunakan Dolutegravir dalam rejimen KDT-ARV berupa KDT-TLD, yang berisi 2NRTI + INSTI. Rejimen baru ini diteliti mampu menekan jumlah virus lebih cepat, mengurangi efek neuropsikiatri dan mengurangi resistensi pada rejimen sebelumnya yang menggunakan efavirenz. Inisiasi ARV juga disarankan sedini mungkin (jika belum ada infeksi oportunistik) supaya dapat meningkatkan harapan hidup, menurunkan insiden infeksi oportunistik, dan mencegah transmisi virus HIV.

HIV/AIDS therapy continues to develop over time. The current ARV regiment uses dolutegravir in ARV-FDC regiment in the form of a TLD-FDC containing 2NRTI + INSTI. This new regiment was intended to suppress viral load more rapidly, reduce neuropsychiatric effects and reduce resistance to previous regiments using efavirenz. ARV initiation is also recommended as early as possible (if there is no opportunistic infection) to increase life expectancy, reduce the incidence of opportunistic infections, and prevent transmission of HIV.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Diagnostics of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Kresnia Gabriele Mustika , Parikesit Arli Aditya
Published: May 2022

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurologic development disorder; it is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-V). Early diagnosis is critical in improving the life quality of individuals affected by ASD. Several studies show that Artificial Intelligence can be used in the diagnosis of ASD through biological means such as observing patient EEG data and surveying their genome. Articles were searched in the PUBMED database, ScienceDirect and Springer Link between 2019 - 2020. Four papers were selected for review. The papers were able to devise models that can accurately predict ASD in affected individuals, though some are based on old data and/or require testing on larger datasets to determine accuracy. As ASD diagnosis usually cannot be achieved before the individual shows symptoms, AI has the potential to improve ASD diagnosis in affected individuals. Further study to confirm the models and test on larger, more recent datasets would be required to develop more accurate models and achieve even better results.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) merupakan salah satu gangguan perkembangan saraf yang tercantum pada Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-V). Diagnosis dini sangat penting untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup individu ASD. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kecerdasan Buatan dapat digunakan untuk diagnosis ASD melalui metode berbasis biologis seperti mengamati data EEG pasien dan mensurvei genomnya. Review ini berbasis pencarian data antara 2019 – 2020 di database PUBMED, ScienceDirect dan Springer Link. Empat makalah kunci dipilih untuk ditinjau. Makalah-makalah tersebut mampu merancang model yang dapat memprediksi ASD secara akurat, meskipun beberapa aspek implementasinya didasarkan pada data usang dan/atau memerlukan pengujian pada kumpulan data yang lebih besar untuk menentukan akurasi. Mengingat diagnosis ASD biasanya tidak dapat dilakukan sebelum individu menunjukkan gejala sekunder, kecerdasan buatan berpotensi meningkatkan keandalan diagnosis ASD. Masih diperlukan studi lanjutan untuk mengkonfirmasi model dan pengujian pada kumpulan data yang lebih besar dan lebih baru untuk mengembangkan model yang memiliki presisi lebih baik dan hasil lebih akurat.
V-Y Nasolabial Flap for Reconstruction after Basal Cell Carcinoma Excision
Authors: Putri Sarah Anjani , Fitra Yugos Juli , - Kurniadi
Published: May 2022

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy worldwide.1 It is usually found in older populations, particularly those exposed to ultraviolet radiation. It is almost always curable when detected and treated early. Surgery remains the cornerstone of BCC treatment; but standard excision results in defects requiring reconstruction. For smaller defects, the V-Y flap is a popular option due to its advantages. Case : A 33 year-old male with a blackened lesion on the left vermillion border of the upper lip with a diameter of 2 cm since 3 months, suspected as basal cell carcinoma. The patient underwent wide excision and the defect was reconstructed using a V-Y flap. Conclusion : Wide local excision is a treatment of choice for BCC to ensure clear margins, preventing further local recurrence and distant metastasis. V-Y advancement flap is preferable for the reconstruction of small to medium size facial defects with less scarring and better aesthetic results.

Latar belakang: Karsinoma sel basal (KSB) adalah keganasan yang paling sering ditemukan di seluruh dunia; biasanya pada populasi usia lanjut, khususnya yang terpapar radiasi sinar ultraviolet. KSB hampir selalu dapat disembuhkan apabila terdeteksi dan diberi tatalaksana dini. Pembedahan tetap merupakan landasan tatalaksana KSB, akan tetapi eksisi standar akan meninggalkan defek yang membutuhkan rekonstruksi. Untuk defek yang lebih kecil, flap V-Y merupakan pilihan populer. Kasus: Seorang laki-laki usia 33 tahun dengan lesi berwarna hitam di batas vermilion kiri di atas bibir dengan diameter 2 cm sejak 3 bulan, diduga karsinoma sel basal. Pasien menjalani operasi eksisi luas dan defeknya direkonstruksi menggunakan flap V-Y. Simpulan: Eksisi lokal luas adalah tatalaksana pilihan KBS untuk memastikan margin yang jelas, mencegah rekurensi lokal, dan metastatis jauh. Flap V-Y lebih dipilih untuk defek wajah dengan ukuran kecil hingga sedang karena bekas luka yang lebih kecil dan secara estetika lebih baik.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the method of influencing the popularity of a website or web page in the unpaid results sometimes referred often referred to as "natural", "organic", or "earned" resultsof a web search engine. SEO explores the way search engines operate, where people search for and the search phrases or keywords are entered into search engines, as a web marketing technique.The primary search results for all major search engines such as google, bing, and yahoo are shown on web pages and on any other material including videos or local listings, depending on what is deemed most important to users by the search engine. To customize a website, the contents of the site, HyperText Markup Language (HTML), and associated code should be changed, both for increasing its relevance to common keywords and removing obstacles to search engine indexing. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic. Search Engine Marketing ( SEM) is a type of internet marketing that involves promoting websites by increasing their exposure on search engine results pages (SERPs), mainly through paid ads.While off-page search engine optimization is important. On-page optimization includes all of the actions we take within web pages to help web site rank better. When it comes to on-page optimization, there are eight key targets are playing key roles. The eight targets are Keyword Optimization, Site Structure, Internal Linking, Usability, Mobile Version of the Website, Customer Reviews, Rich Snippets and Social Media Integration. In this paper, we would like to review these eight key factors and review a one case using the website structure as a part of on-page optimization techniques for effective digital marketing.

The paper substantiates the role the key sacred sites of indigenous minorities of the North play in forming an integrated ecological network, expanding the nature conservation areas and preserving biological and landscape diversity of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. It presents materials describing the nature conservation, scientific, historical and cultural significance of the heritage item - the sacred site Angalsky Cape in Salekhard. The reconnaissance and sociological studies (in 2019-2020) revealed the anthropogenic impact on the territory of the site which is the result of recreation, storage of solid household waste, location of technical facilities and disturbance. The studies have also shown that the protection regime adopted to preserve the sacred site and to keep the natural-territorial complex of the territory is not sufficient. As a result of field geobotanical, soil, zoological researches on the territory of the sacred site Angalsky Cape, conducted in June and August 2021, the composition and structure of vegetation, soil, small mammal communities consistent with zonal and local natural conditions were defined. A relatively high level of plants and animals species diversity, as well as a good life condition of lichens were revealed. At the same time, the low resilience of the small mammal community indicates the vulnerability of ecosystems in this area to external influences, including anthropogenic loads. The results of the research allow us to recommend the sacred site Angalsky Cape for inclusion in the local ecological framework as a natural monument of local significance.
Chronology of Eneolithic complexes of the forest-steppe Trans-Urals
Authors: Mosin Vadim Sergeevich
Published: May 2022

This paper is devoted to the key problems associated with the chronology and periodization of the Eneolithic complexes located on the territory of the forest-steppe foothill Trans-Urals and Tobol river regions. The basic dated complexes are considered in the context of absolute chronology, the established criteria for the dating of archaeological cultures and ceramic traditions and types of this period are analyzed; based on radiocarbon dating of organic remains in ceramics, preserved bone remains of mammals and charcoal from the settlements of the forest-steppe Tobol river region: Tashkovo 1, Kochegarovo 1, Buzan-3 burial ground, Savin I, Slabodchiki I sanctuaries and Bakshay sanctuaries from the eastern slope of the Urals. In the forest-steppe zone of the Trans-Urals, about 30 complexes of the Eneolithic have been investigated by excavations. Only six of them have radiocarbon datings, the total number of datings is 23. The Eneolithic complexes of the settlements of Kochegarovo I - 10 determinations, Tashkovo I - 4 determinations with dates, although it is not enough for full statistics. The rest of the complexes have either fewer or obviously invalid dates. In the Eneolithic of the region along the entire length from the middle of the 5th to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC almost all of the existing cultural traditions continued to coexist. It should be noted that the earliest tradition in the Eneolithic of the region was the tradition of ornamentation with a comb stamp with simple (linear) and geometric patterns.
Bone sculptures of birds of the Volosovo culture: the context of their location (based on the materials from the Sakhtysh sites in the Upper Volga region)
Authors: Kostyleva Elena Leonidovna , Utkin Aleksandr Vitalievich , Melnikov Vladimir Nikolaevich
Published: May 2022

The paper presents an analysis of the localization of bone pendants in the shape of volumetric heads of birds from the settlements of Sakhtysh I, Sakhtysh II and Sakhtysh IIa, located near Lake Sakhtysh (Ivanovo Region, central part of European Russia), now completely destroyed by peat mining. In total, 14 specimens have been identified: six ones - at Sakhtysh I, six more - at Sakhtysh II, and two ones - at Sakhtysh IIa. They belong to the Volosovo culture and represent figures of duck, goose, swan, crow, wood grouse, eagle, merganser, pelican. All figurines are highly individual, without any canonical ones, repeating in their shape. The context of their location is different: some of them were found in the burial (Sakhtysh 1), others in the hoards and on the ritual site of the burial ground (Sakhtysh II), while others in the sanctuary on the territory of the burial ground (Sakhtysh IIa), not far from the sanctuary (Sakhtysh II), not far from burials (Sakhtysh I and Sakhtysh IIa), in and near dwellings (Sakhtysh I). Most figurines in one way or another are associated with burials and funeral rituals. The connection between the figurines and funerary practices is most clearly traced on the territory of the Volosovo burial ground Sakhtysh II.
Genetic markers of domestication (some features of interpretation of laboratory data of paleogenetic researches)
Authors: Kuznetsov Pavel Fedorovich , Fomenko Sergey Vladimirovich
Published: May 2022

The paper reviews the findings of two research groups, published in the journal Nature, that focus on the genetic aspects of horses domestication in the Bronze Age. Creating coherence and overcoming the contradictions between the data of paleogenetics and archeology through meta-description, which is based on the prevalence of selection, turns into the some controversial conclusions, including: extrapolation caused by the transfer of anthropomorphic characteristics to the physiological characteristics of the horse and the reduction of actors of social processes to genetic markers. In the context of articles on medical genetics and sociology of science, it is proposed to overcome controversies through a change in the optics of analysis of genetic data in the problem of domestication: rejection of the meta-description of the researching phenomena and the actualization of the logic of meeting social needs and mutational variability preceding domestication. In addition, the paper deals with the problem of interpreting the genetic data of horse domestication only as a hypothesis. The problem is that there is a significant chronological gap of 500-700 years between genetic ancestors and genuine domestic horses (Dom-2). This period includes such significant archaeological cultures as Abashevskaya, post-Poltavka Volga-Ural and others.

In the course of an exploratory survey of the left bank of the Chapaevka River on the territory of the Bezenchuksky District in the Samara Region in 2020-2021, a multilayer archaeological site of the Stone and Bronze Ages Troitskoye 5 was discovered. The archaeological site is located not far from the previously studied sites of Troitskoye 1 and Troitskoye 2. On the territory of the archaeological site, stratigraphic pits were laid, the boundaries were determined, and lifting material was collected. The main cultural layer of the Troitskoye 5 site belongs to the Stone Age. On the territory of the stone age site a settlement of the Srubnaya culture of the Bronze Age arose later. The paper deals with the analysis of the resulting collection of flint tools and ceramic material. It is concluded that the surveyed settlement contains cultural layers of two eras: the Stone and Bronze Ages. The absence of typical labor tools, clear stratigraphic references, and bone remains make it difficult to determine the time of the early settlement. Preliminarily, its existence can be assumed within the broad framework of the final Paleolithic-Neolithic. It is possible that the existence of at least part of the complex of stone artifacts from the settlement of Troitskoye 5 is associated with the Mesolithic era. In general, the complex of material from the Troitskoye 5 site corresponds to the materials obtained earlier during the survey of the Troitskoye 1 and Troitskoye 2 sites. The finds of the Bronze Age are represented by fragments of pottery typical of the Srubna culture of the middle of the 2nd millennium BC. The technical and technological analysis of ceramics was carried out within the framework of the historical and cultural approach, the main provisions of which were developed and introduced into scientific circulation by A.A. Bobrinsky.

Published: May 2022

This paper is devoted to the publication of materials obtained during the study of the burial of the early Middle Ages in the burial mound Maslennikovo I. This necropolis is located in the steppe southwestern part of the Samara Trans-Volga region. The excavated mound 1 was built in the Bronze Age in the process of making eight burials of this time. Burial 2, admitted into the floor of the embankment in its southern part, dates back to the Middle Ages. The burial was made in a grave pit in the shape of an elongated oval and oriented with its long axis along the NW-SE line. The buried man lay stretched out on his back with his head to the northwest. The bone of a horses leg lay at his head. Gold foil fragments, which may have been the remains of a symbolic death mask, and earrings were also found in the area of the head. The remains of a wooden object with silver plates at the edges, probably of a quiver on the chest of a deceased burial were found. The remains of a scabbard, which also had silver plates there were in the region of the pelvis and between the thigh bones. Seven silver sewn-on plaques with embossed ornaments and several poorly preserved iron objects were found in the grave. The peculiarities of the funeral rite and accompanying implements make it possible to include this complex in the number of burials attributed by researchers as Magyar (proto-Magyar, Hungarian) and to consider it as the burial of an individual integrated into the ethnocultural environment of the Hungarians of the Middle Volga region of the 9th-10th centuries.
Value attitudes of the Russian nobility in the late 18th - middle 19th centuries: gender aspect
Authors: Lisitsyna Olga Igorevna
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the paper is to reveal the gender specifics of the behavioral norms of the Russian nobility in the late 18th - mid 19th centuries. The author stands on the positions of the approaches of historical anthropology, the history of everyday life and gender history. The conclusions are based on the analysis of sources of personal origin and literary texts of the era. The paper touches upon the problem of discursive differences between male and female writing, but the main attention is paid to behavioral differences. It is concluded that there are pronounced differences both in value attitudes and in the behavior of men and women. This was due to the fact that much more prohibitions were imposed on womens everyday life. Moreover, the behavior of unmarried representatives of the noble class was subjected to particularly strict regulation. Unlike the young men, they were under constant control and supervision from the family and the entire noble society as a whole. This was due to the category of honor, which also had significant gender specificity. If for a man, honor meant his qualities and merits, for a woman honor meant chastity, that is, the ability to abstain from sexual contact outside of marriage. Numerous taboos weaken after the marriage of a noblewoman, but internal attitudes and self-control determine the stability of their behavior patterns.
Methodological features of the study of «combat films» in the United States of 1941-1945
Authors: Buranok Sergey Olegovich
Published: May 2022

In modern studies on the history of wars, a fairly popular direction is the study of information discourse specifics. A special role in this discourse is played by propaganda through cinematography, which uses images, historical symbols and stable metaphors, the appeal to which can form a certain public reaction. The study of the main aspects of this topic is impossible without recourse to interdisciplinary methods of the humanities, developed as a result of a number of turns in the development of modern humanitarian knowledge, including anthropological, linguistic, cultural, calling to study the perception of the world, human behavior in the past in the totality of socio-economic, political, cultural practices adopted in the studied society at a given time. In addition, an appeal to the methods of historical imagology will make it possible to trace the evolution of the process of visualization and mythologization of the Second World War in US cinematography more accurately. Without the study of the basic principles, methods, mechanisms and tools of this process it is extremely difficult to understand the peculiarities of the development and interaction of cinema and US propaganda at subsequent historical stages and the present. American scientists have achieved significant results in the study of directors creative biographies, in the specifics of their interaction with federal government bodies, and in the analysis of the activities of the Office of War Information in the field of cinematography.

Authors: Tokar Olga Egorovna
Published: May 2022

The forced emergency widespread transition to distance learning during the COVID 19 pandemic period required the urgent development of new tools for working in the digital environment, adaptation to new methods of communication in the system teacher - student. The use of digital tools and technologies in the implementation of bachelors studies in the context of the digitalization of higher education and the introduction of online education complicated the teachers activity in designing the learning process. There was a lack of research devoted to the study and description of teaching Biology practice (including Botany) in the online format, there were no teaching materials for organizing practical work with students. In connection with the situation, it was necessary to search for new ways to implement various types of activities in the distance format, search for new ways of communication in the system teacher - student, and test modern pedagogical technologies. Since the autumn of 2020, many universities, including P.P. Ershov Ishim Pedagogical Institute (Branch) of Tyumen State University, have been successfully using the Microsoft Teams platform. The following methods were used during the study: theoretical and comparative analysis of literature, systematization and synthesis, collection and evaluation of the results of the completed tasks (reports on working with cases, test results and questionnaires). The results of the individual task - a report on working with case illustrations showed that 47% of students were rated satisfactory and 53% of students - good. The qualitative progression, according to the test results, was 53%. The results of the survey Reflexive Screen made it possible to identify the positive effect, obtained from the lesson held in the online format (100% of students were interested in the lesson). The paper describes in detail the methods for online teaching Botany at the lesson, conducted in the winter of 2021, and analyzes it.
A Novel Integrated Design for Heat and Water Recovery from Exhaust Flue Gas of Bandar Abbas Power Plant
Authors: Ghamati Erfan , Roudaki Javad Mirrezaie
Published: May 2022

This study concerns a theoretical design of a condensing heat exchanger for a 320 MW unit of Bandar Abbas thermal power plant in the south of Iran. A film theory in conjunction with heat and mass transfer analogy is used as the theoretical basis of the design. The condensing unit is used for heat and mass recovery from the natural gas-fired boiler flue gases. The assumed condensing unit includes 4 equal capacity condensing heat exchangers, each of which is supposed to reduce the flue gas temperature from 160 ℃ to 53℃. Decreasing the flue gas temperature to below the dew point temperature of its water vapor causes condensation (latent) and sensible heat transfer. The analysis was done for 13%, 15%, and 17% of the water vapor volume fraction in the flue gases, and based on the 17% water vapor fraction, 52.8 tons/hr of water was recovered. This recovered water could be used as the cooling tower makeup, and accordingly, almost 14% of water consumption is saved. The recovered heat by the condensing unit is also being used as the heat source of an ORC cycle, and up to 2.8 MW power is estimated to be generated depending on the evaporation temperature.
A Hybrid Non-Local Model of Ontogenetic Growth Revealed a Phase Transition and Two Bifurcations
Authors: Stass V. L.
Published: May 2022

The problem this study deals with is the dynamics of growth of animals. In the study, some features of the growth of pigs were modelled. The research concerns the growth dynamics during a period of growth close to a bifurcation point. In the point, two bifurcations of the growth trajectory take place. The period of growth entails the weight in which an animal's growth stops when individual maximum weight is reached. In the study, methods of applied mathematics were used. The growth of animals was modelled by a hybrid and continuum methods as a dynamic system. In the hybrid model, time was considered as a discrete variable. In the study the factors, which control trajectories and the dynamics of growth were revealed. There are three results in this study. The first result suggests that in animals, the current weight M can be described by derivative of the average consumed feed. The second result gives the equation of the weight balance in an integral form. Third result implies that in ontogeny, growth of pigs has to be modelled as a dynamic system. The system has two bifurcations; one of the trajectory of the weight gain, and other of the trajectory of the growth invariant K. As a result, new growth trajectories emerge. In some instances, the findings can be translated to man in others they apply to animals.
Problems of Translating Legal Contracts: Perspectives of Saudi Translation Students
Authors: Alshaikh Nouf
Published: May 2022

Legal translation is one of the challenging domains for translation students. In Saudi Arabia, university translation students are reported to encounter difficulties while translating legal contracts from English to Arabic and vice versa. Also, the literature shows that translation students use certain strategies to overcome these difficulties. This study attempted to examine the most common challenges/difficulties encountered by Saudi translation students when translating legal contracts and the strategies used by them to overcome such difficulties. In order to achieve these goals, the researcher used the descriptive analytical approach and used the questionnaire instrument in order to collect the data from the research sample. The population of this research consisted of all Saudi translation students in two Saudi universities, namely King Saud University and Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University. The research population are those students who study at the English language department in each university in the fourth year whose number is (106) students. The target sample is (50%) of the research population. So, the sample size is (53) students, being selected randomly. The findings of the study showed that legal binominal expressions and parallel structure, the structure of legal sentences, the multiple negatives, and the legal text layout are the major challenges that encounter Saudi translation students when translating legal contracts. On the other hand, parallel texts, CAT tools, and Google translation have been reported as strategies used by Saudi translation students to overcome the difficulties they face when they translate legal contracts. The results of the study have important implications for translation teachers, translation syllabus designers, universities, and translation students.

Decentralized government and global challenges: How the Dutch data centre debate demonstrates the need for powerful and hybrid governance

Recently, the construction of large datacentres has led to intense societal debate in the Netherlands. Political decision making preceding the building of these centres is usually done at a decentralized governance level. However, at that level, it appears to be challenging to balance the relevant interest with integrity, and the living environment of citizens is easily overlooked. At the core of this debate lies a systemic challenge that comes with the changing role of the local government. Driven by privatization, globalization, digital transformation and citizen emancipation, the identity of governments transforms. Consequentially, governments are not only legislators and policy makers, but also – and increasingly – business partner, shareholder and client. Local politicians struggle with combining and switching between these roles. The case of datacentres is the embodiment of these challenges, and it takes a powerful, hybrid government to address these challenges in a meaningful manner and adopt a more active role for civilians in line with the new Dutch spatial planning law. Above all, it is necessary to focus on acting as a professional and stable partner. This is not only in the interest of citizens, but also in the interest of the related private organizations.

Effects of the corona crisis on the role and position of aldermen

The corona crisis has shaken up the tasks, roles and relationships in the Municipal Executive (B&W) in the Netherlands. The question is what this has meant for the role and for the position of aldermen: the relationship between aldermen themselves, their relationship with the mayor, the municipal council, the civil service and society. A digital survey was used to investigate whether and how the crisis measures have changed the role and the position of aldermen. In addition, questions were asked about policy changes as a result of the corona crisis. The survey was completed by 145 aldermen, bringing the response rate to 10%. The corona crisis had a major impact on the role and position of aldermen. Their contacts with civil servants have become more intensive across the board, their boards have become more collegial and their mayors have taken on a more guiding and coordinating role. Contacts with the municipal councils are less intensive as a result of the corona crisis, which does not apply to their own groups. Relations with companies and institutions have been strengthened; those with citizens have remained unchanged.

Um estudo sobre a dinâmica da sustentabilidade da Dívida Pública Mineira entre 2003 e 2020: uma abordagem econométrica
Authors: Bragança dos Santos Pedro Henrique , Soares Diniz Francisco
Published: May 2022

Nos anos 80 e 90, desenvolveu-se uma literatura especializada na investigação da sustentabilidade da dívida pública ao redor do mundo. Esta literatura era baseada em testes de raízes unitárias, modelagem de VECMs e previsões da dívida pública. Estes testes pretenderam verificar se os governos incorrem em uma trajetória insustentável da dívida, e se estão implementando um esquema de Ponzi. Os modelos visavam a diminuição da incerteza quanto à Dívida Pública, configurando-se, um importante aliado aos gestores das finanças públicas. Este trabalho objetivou a verificação de indícios da sustentabilidade da dívida pública mineira entre 2003 e 2020 por meio da abordagem econométrica da testagem da presença de raízes unitárias e a cointegração entre receita, despesa e outras variáveis pertinentes. A conclusão final foi que a Dívida Pública Mineira apresenta indícios de sustentabilidade fraca, carecendo de ações, no sentido de reestabelecer uma trajetória de sustentabilidade entre as variáveis Receita e Despesa Primária

Este trabalho propõe um modelo para mensuração do risco fiscal conforme requerido no Anexo de Riscos Fiscais (ARF) disposto na Lei de Diretrizes Orçamentárias (LDO). Para tal intento são utilizadas abordagens teóricas como a Hipótese de Fragilidade Financeira Aplicada ao Setor Público, risco e incerteza, gerenciamento de riscos. Para a mensuração do risco fiscal são apuradas as posições financeiras do ente público, utilizados procedimentos de estatística descritiva e estimativa de cenários seguindo as pressuposições da Teoria dos Portfólios. O modelo se mostrou pertinente para uso, principalmente para pequenos municípios em função de sua simplicidade e eficiência de sua aplicabilidade. Esta aplicação minimiza graus de subjetividade na elaboração do ARF, se fundamenta em uma teoria econômica e em procedimentos estatísticos descritivos de dispersão e variabilidade. Adicionalmente contribui com uma abordagem empírica nas pesquisas sobre esse tema.

The police in handling criminal cases are certainly faced with a choice between legal certainty with justice and expediency. The existence of witnesses in a criminal justice process starting from the stage of investigation, prosecution to trial in court in order to provide information in order to reveal the facts of the occurrence of a crime. The importance of communication is a part that cannot be replaced in writing or otherwise, because communication has functions that include, to inform, namely to provide information given by witnesses to investigators for the completeness of the investigation. The purpose of the study was to determine the persuasive communication strategy of members of the Central Aceh District Police in interrogating witnesses, and to find out what factors hindered the persuasive communication of members of the Central Aceh District Police in interrogating witnesses. This research is a type of qualitative descriptive research, namely research that has descriptive results in the form of words and writings from informants studied by researchers, while the approach used in this study is a descriptive approach where researchers look for facts, phenomena about the communication strategy of district resort police investigators. Aceh is in the process of interrogating a suspect in the crime of burning a house. Sources of data used are primary data obtained directly in the field and secondary data obtained from literature or library materials. The results showed that the communication strategy used by the investigator in the witness interrogation process was in accordance with the established SOP, and the interrogation communication strategy used was persuasive communication and interpersonal communication. Persuasive communication is carried out using clear, firm and straightforward language. In addition to persuasive communication techniques, interpersonal communication techniques are also an option for investigators when interrogating witnesses humanely by respecting human values. The factors that hinder persuasive communication by members of the Aceh Resort Police are in interrogating the witnesses, the statements from witnesses are always different, even seem to change and answering questions from investigators is often convoluted making it difficult for investigators to get information from witnesses, and witnesses are not present in the process of examining witnesses at the investigation stage.
OF DOG FOOD AND JUDICIAL ETHICS: CLARENCE THOMAS’ FIRST FAILURE TO RECUSE HIMSELF
Authors:   Private Practice, Stolte Keith M.
Published: May 2022

In March 2022, the public was stunned to learn that Virginia Thomas, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, was in steady communication with Mark Meadows, Donald Trump's Chief of Staff, supporting Trump's efforts to overturn the presidential election results of the 2020 election. Moreover, political leaders and legal practitioners were troubled that Clarence Thomas had not recused himself in Trump v. Thompson, 142 S. Ct. 680, 680 (2022), a case involving Trump's application for an injunction against the National Archives turning over thousands of presidential documents to the House Select Committee, which was investigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. This severe ethical lapse by Thomas is the latest in a series of ethical improprieties going back 30 years. The first in the catalogue of Thomas' ethical violations was his decision in ALPO Petfoods, Inc. v. Ralston Purina Co., 913 F.2d 958 (D.C. Cir. 1990), which materially changed the law of Lanham Act remedies in the D.C. Circuit. The article delves into Thomas' bizarre and erroneous legal analysis that resulted in overturning a multimillion-dollar false advertising damage award against pet food manufacturer Ralston-Purina. It will also discuss the unusually close mentor-mentee relationship between Thomas and Senator John Danforth of Missouri, grandson of the founder of Ralston-Purina and whose family owned a large holding of stock in the company. Danforth was instrumental in guiding Thomas' entire career and had a hand in obtaining every job in Thomas' post-law school life, including his present one. This extraordinarily close relationship created a conflict of interest that should have led Thomas to recuse himself from considering the Alpo case.
EFFECTIVE ANTI-PIRACY IN VIETNAM: A JOURNEY THROUGH SITE BLOCKING
Authors:   University of California, Los Angeles & Loyola Law School, Han Jonathan Lee Xue

The dawn of the Internet has created significant challenges to protecting copyrighted materials from piracy. In the past, copyright protection was mainly concerned with the threat of infringement from the sale of counterfeit goods, like pirated CDs and optical media. However, the Internet has now allowed for online piracy where infringing materials can be accessed online or copied with even greater ease. Vietnam has recently become a jurisdiction that is a hotbed for online piracy and copyright infringement globally. This is largely because Vietnam's current statutory and regulatory regime fail to effectively create an effective antipiracy regime in accordance with its WTO TRIPS obligations. Furthermore, Vietnam's recent accession of various treaties like the CPTPP and WCT further galvanizes a need for change in Vietnam's intellectual property regime. Thus far, Vietnam's attempts at fashioning an effective site-blocking regime have not succeeded. This paper will look at other effective site-blocking regimes, namely Singapore, India, and France, to look prospectively at what may be possible in Vietnam.
