Simplified forms of trial proceeding of administrative cases in the legislation of European countries
Authors: Gembara G.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the experience of the countries of the European Union for the implementation of differentiation of the procedural form of consideration and resolution of public-legal disputes by simplifying it - withdrawal of unnecessary, complicated, and ineffective elements. The study of this issue is conditioned by the activation of European integration processes in Ukraine, which requires taking into account the achievements of European countries in administrative litigation to improve the legislative basis of the functioning of administrative courts in Ukraine.

It has been established that the introduction, along with the general procedure of judicial proceedings, that is, ordinary, simplified proceedings, is a trend long supported by the countries of the European region, which is aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the implementation of the right to access to justice and a fair trial, which was repeatedly emphasized by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in its Recommendations to member states.

The legislation of European states (Germany, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Austria, Estonia) was studied, which regulates the administrative court’s procedural activity to simplify the consideration and resolution of cases. The main criteria and reasons for applying simplified court proceedings and resolving public-legal disputes were considered. It was clarified: who has the right to initiate a case in a simplified manner, whether the participants’ opinion is taken into account, and what are the powers of the court when deciding this issue. Similar features were identified in the studied foreign legislation on simplifying administrative litigation.

A comparative analysis of the European legislation with the provisions of the Ukrainian administrative-procedural legislation was carried out, and the provisions that would be appropriate to be introduced into the national legislation in order to improve the simplified legal proceedings and increase the level of effectiveness of judicial protection of individual rights in the field of public-legal relations were highlighted.

It was concluded that simplified procedures for the trial investigation of administrative cases take an important place in the legislation of the countries of the European Union, which indicates the importance of procedures for optimizing the judicial process.
Novelisation of the provisions of the Criminal code of Ukraine on criminal offences against public security
Authors: Demidova L.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the amendments introduced during almost 22 years, starting from September 1, 2001, to the Criminal Code of Ukraine in the part of criminal responsibility for criminal offenses against public safety.

The analysis covers three periods, selected according to the following criteria: the state of the socio- political and military situation in Ukraine: the first period – from 1 September 2001 to 31 December 2013; the second – from 2014 to 23 February 2022; the third – from 24 February to 1 June 2023.

The author focuses on the scientific achievements of the Kharkiv School of Criminal Law introduced in the construction of the Special Part of the Code, in particular, its Section IX. The author summarises the results of establishing the motives for amendments to the articles establishing criminal liability for criminal offences against public safety, their importance for improving the effectiveness of combating criminal behaviour and the shortcomings of such novels.

The author’s own definition of ways to further improve the quality of the relevant provisions and the practice of their application is presented. It is noted that in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of combating criminal offences against public security, it is advisable to systematically amend this section by introducing the rule of law principle with its main element – legal certainty of legal norms.

It is noted that an appropriate level of legal certainty of the rules on criminal offences against public security should be achieved primarily with regard to the definitions of persistent criminal associations (terrorist group, terrorist organisation, gang, etc.) by means of their legislative definition in the Code, and also by continuing to improve the rules providing for criminal liability for a terrorist act and a threat to commit a terrorist act, taking into account the different nature and severity of such acts. A number of other proposals have been formulated that will contribute to the improvement of criminal legal measures to combat encroachments on public safety.
About the legal element of a victim of illegal abortion or sterilization
Authors: Dyomina O.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to some topical issues of establishing the characteristics of a victim of a crime, provided for in Art. 134 of the Criminal Code.

A generalized review of the concept of the victim in criminal law science has been made. Attention is drawn to the fact that the doctrine of the victim has an interdisciplinary nature - the criminal-legal, criminological and criminal-procedural concepts of the victim are distinguished: 1) criminal-legal - the victim of a criminal offense; 2) criminological - a victim of the crime; 3) criminal procedure - a victim in criminal proceedings.

It has been established that the domestic legislator directly refers to the victim of abortion (sterilization): the relevant parts of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code on forcing abortion or sterilization without the voluntary consent of the “victim”. The author’s opinion is expressed that, in the context of responsibility for illegal abortion, the legislator could specifically indicate a woman, and in the second case – alternatively, a woman or a man.

In the context of a legal comparison of the provisions of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code and Art.Art. 38 and 39 of the Istanbul Convention, taking into account the systematic approach to the interpretation of legal acts, attention was drawn to the following: a) in the prescriptions of the convention, when it comes to forcing a woman to undergo certain actions (genital mutilation), there is no normative reference to her informed consent; and in the case of an abortion or surgical sterilization of a woman, in the absence of a sign of coercion, a sign of prior and informed consent or understanding of the procedure on the part of the woman is used; b) the domestic legislator provided in part 2 and part 4 of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code, respectively, forcing an abortion / sterilization without the victim’s voluntary consent. The domestic approach has been subjected to reasoned criticism, since in the theory of criminal law, the sign of coercion traditionally excludes the consent of the victim - these concepts are mutually exclusive.

It is shown how the victim of the investigated crime is mentioned in judicial practice; at the same time, a small number of verdicts passed under Art. 134 of the Criminal Code.

Authors: Kiseleva M.
Published: September 2023

The corona crisis, in addition to radical changes in the economic, political, spiritual and social spheres, significantly affected the state of crime in the world, and in particular, in Ukraine. The COVID-19 pandemic, having changed crime trends, created the prerequisites for   the new types of crimes. The development of our country as a democratic European state requires the development and further improvement of the legal framework for combating crime during the pandemic, the search for new methods of its investigation and prevention. Currently, there are many publications in the national and international scientific community about the Covid-19 pandemic, its negative trends, consequences, etc. But scientific development state of the problem of crime under the conditions of the pandemic remains understudied. Such study will provide a thorough analysis of the development of the theoretical opinion on the mentioned above phenomenon which is possible if the main assessment directions are established. We agree with the position of such scientists as: A.Yu. Baidalinova, Yu.V. Kalinichenko, M.O. Marshuba, who emphasized the need to establish the main research directions of any criminological problem. Taking into account this judgment and the multifaceted nature of the researched topic, we consider it necessary to investigate the state of development of the problem of crime in the conditions of the pandemic in the following directions: elaboration of the conceptual apparatus; assessment of theoretical developments of the national and international scientific community; international cooperation; establishment of interdisciplinary connections and borrowing of individual developments from other disciplines; identification of problematic aspects related to the investigation of crime in the conditions of the pandemic. It should be emphasized that the necessary degree of validity of new knowledge can be formed based on the practical experience of organizations that carry out law enforcement activities at the international level.
Regarding the investigation of damage to objects of cultural heritage in the conditions of war
Authors: Narozhna O.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the consideration of the problem of investigation of crimes related to cultural values, which is carried out during the war. In the context of military conflict, cultural property is at risk of theft, destruction, trade and illegal transportation. Since these values are an integral part of national heritage and world culture, their protection and restoration are extremely important tasks. The main investigations of crimes related to the sphere of cultural values are considered, such as the formation of a team of specialists, the collection of necessary information, cooperation with international organizations and law enforcement agencies, the conduct of investigations and the collection of necessary information regarding this process. Adherence to the necessary algorithm of actions when working with evidence allows establishing the circumstances contributing to the commission of the crime, including the place, time, method and objects. It helps to understand the full picture of what happened and build a sequence of events. Evidence may point to individuals who may be connected to a cultural property crime. These may include fingerprints, video recordings, witness statements, etc., in particular, lead to identification. Collecting evidence allows you to confirm or deny the guilt of suspects. These may include physical evidence, electronic records, expert reports, etc. that provide an objective basis for deciding whether a person is guilty.

Attention is drawn to the need for international cooperation for effective identification, investigation, return and restoration of cultural values.The importance of preserving cultural heritage as an element of national and world identity and a positive influence on social development is emphasized. The need to adopt effective legislative measures, create international cooperation mechanisms and raise public awareness of the problem of crimes against cultural values is emphasized.

In order to eliminate this problem, it is necessary to develop clear recommendations that take into account the peculiarities of the investigation of crimes against cultural values during the war and identify directions for further research in this area. The results of this work can be used to improve the protection of cultural property and bring perpetrators to justice, ensuring the preservation of humanity’s inalienable heritage.
Ensuring the rights of a victim the course of preventive measures application in criminal proceedings
Authors: Tumanyants A.
Published: September 2023

The article analyzes problems of ensuring the rights of a victim when choosing preventive measures in criminal proceedings. The position has been argued, according to which the victim, his representative and a legal representative have the right to participate in hearing of a motion for the application of preventive measures by an investigating judge or a judge and to appeal the decisions made by the court. It has been established that when adopting the judgement on preventive measures, the rights and legitimate interests of the victim are affected, including those related to the need to protect his personal safety from threats by the suspect or to ensure compensation for material damage caused by the crime, in that case he, his representative and the legal representative have the right to bring to pre-trial investigation bodies, a prosecutor and an investigating judge notice, their position regarding the selection, extension, change, cancellation of this or that preventive measure against the suspect, as well as to appeal the decision. Herewith, the possibility of an appeal cannot depend on whether the victim directly participated in the court hearing. Likewise, the victim and his representative have the right to become familiar with those materials on the basis of which the decision is made. When an investigating judge considers a motion for the application of preventive measures, the victim, his representative, and the legal representative must have the right to file a motion, including the one on the detention of the suspect, on cancellation or replacement of this preventive measure with another, to participate directly in the court consideration of a motion submitted by them or other participants in the petition process, to appear before the court and present their position and arguments, to appeal the decision of the investigating judge to the court of appeal. Proposals are made regarding the expediency of eliminating legislative conflicts by making appropriate normative corrections, namely to supplement Part 1 of Art. 193, Parts 1 and 2 of Art. 331 of the Criminal Procedure Code and Part 3 of Art. 315 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, provisions that will provide the right to a victim, his legal representative and a representative to apply for the choosing, change, cancellation, extension of the preventive measure against a suspect, an accused, as well as to appeal the relevant decision of an investigating judge, a court in the appeal procedure.
Taxation of a lawyer’s income: the practice of the Republic of Poland
Authors: Borshchevskyy O.
Published: September 2023

The national legislation in the area of taxation of lawyer’s income is at the stage of legal regulation change. This is caused by a number of factors, including internal factors related to ensuring the independence of the legal profession, eliminating discrimination against a lawyer as a self-employed person compared to entrepreneurs, and external factors such as a pandemic and war.

Orientation in the legal settlement of this issue should be directed to the practice of the countries of the European Union.

The experience of the Republic of Poland, which borders our country, survived the communist regime, the total control of the USSR, and became a member of the European Union in 2004 can be positive for Ukraine.

Today, draft laws in Ukraine propose to allow lawyers to have the right to choose between the general and simplified taxation system.

This is a novelty in the settlement of the issue of taxation of self-employed persons, which includes lawyers in accordance with the requirements of the current Tax Code of Ukraine.

The experience of the countries of the European Union in the legal definition of this issue can be a reference point for changes in national legislation in approaches to the system of taxation of self-employed persons.

The Republic of Poland, which for a long time did not make changes to the issue of lawyer taxation and was guided by the Law on Advocacy of 1982 and the Law on Personal Income Tax of 1991, maintaining conservatism throughout these years, nevertheless changed its approach to the legal settlement of this issue. Economic changes in the middle of the country, external factors, the pandemic caused changes in the approach to the taxation of a lawyer’s income in Poland. Ukraine is experiencing similar changes. Despite this, new challenges have arisen for our country due to the started war in which Ukraine is defending its independence.

Today, a lawyer in Poland has the right to choose between taxation systems: to be on the general taxation system or to pay a one-time tax.

Therefore, this article focuses on the taxation of a lawyer’s income in the Republic of Poland. Legal regulation of this issue is outlined, changes in the legislation are elaborated.

This article is an attempt to reveal the experience of the Republic of Poland in the field of taxation of the lawyer’s income, analyze the introduced changes and single out positive points for the experience of Ukraine.

Update of the word in the interdisciplinary discourse of the theory and philosophy of law
Authors: Gorban O.
Published: September 2023

The problem of insufficient language training of applicants and therefore graduates for higher legal education in Ukraine is being updated. They are not offered to study methodologically significant sciences for jurisprudence, in particular semantics, legal linguistics, hermeneutics. Hence, there are gaps in program learning outcomes, errors in law-making, legal evaluations, and explanations of legal phenomena and processes. Inattention to the primary meaning of the word is caused by a shortcoming of the current Standard of the Bachelor’s level of higher legal education of Ukraine: the absence of the need to know and understand the peculiarities of law-making in the list of program learning outcomes. Its linguistic excellence determines the quality of implementation and application of law.

Analysis the author’s own teaching experience and of the results of studies of individual aspects of the problem by scientists T.I. Dudash, S.I. Maksymov, A.S. Tokarska and others. revealed the urgent need to normalize the contradictory situation in the legal terminology of Ukraine, where Ukrainian and foreign language terms of different meanings are chaotically combined. In particular, it is necessary to take into account the significant differences in legal naming and legal understanding between the continental European and Anglo-American legal systems, with an orientation towards the first as close to the legal traditions of Ukraine. The experience of preserving special national traditions of legal naming and legal understanding in the legal linguistics of the leading EU states – Germany and France – is important. For quality training of Ukrainian lawyers, it is necessary to improve their professional language culture. In particular, supplement the Standard with a separate learning outcome: «the need to know and understand the peculiarities of law- making». The integrated discipline «Theory and philosophy of law» with parallel teaching of the course «Ancillary legal disciplines» should be introduced into the curricula of the specialty «Law» in the first year. Teaching philosophy of law in the fourth year separate from legal theory is illogical. Compile an encyclopedic dictionary of the Ukrainian legal language, give it legal force in the training and practice of law-making and law-enforcing bodies. Focus on continental European law, preserving the uniqueness of the Ukrainian language of law from excessive foreign language borrowings.
Legal argumentation in the court: native experience and foreign practice
Authors: Orel V.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to highlighting domestic experience and foreign practice of legal argumentation in court proceedings. The Great Legal Encyclopedia defines legal argumentation as the process of giving arguments legal meaning and establishing relationships between them, which acquires jurisprudence. forms when harmonizing logical rules with legal norms.

It is stated that legal reasoning in court decisions is mandatory, since the acceptability of legal decision- making depends on the procedures of argumentation and the desire to achieve the truth in law. Therefore, the justice of court decisions is determined by their compliance with the requirements of legality, reasonableness and motivation.

It is established that an argument is a statement containing premises and a conclusion, not all of which are expressed in real arguments. In legal argumentation, evidence is an auxiliary tool of argument.

In practical discourse, in order to achieve the criteria of rationality and correctness, there is often a need to apply special knowledge, the bearers of which are experts. Opinions of experts provided within the limits of the examination appointed by the court are sources of evidence.

Evidence must be proper, admissible, reliable, sufficient. That is why forensic experts involved in the judicial process must possess the skills of argumentation and oral communication, be professional, authoritative, and their conclusions substantiated and impartial. That is, the rules of legal discourse and the principles of legal argumentation necessarily apply to the judicial expert, who appears as one of the subjects of argumentation.

It was found that domestic courts do not always trust the conclusions provided by experts. The results of a psychophysiological diagnosis of a person using a polygraph do not provide advantages in proof, but «are taken into account, along with other evidence».

Involvement of experts in the legal process does not always provide grounds to include the conclusions they provide in the evidence base, let alone consider them as real arguments. There is a need for legislative regulation of the issue of the possibility of the participation of a polygraph specialist in the legal process.

The evidence practice was outlined and the role of expert witnesses in Italy was clarified. Thus, in Italian civil proceedings there are two types of experts: the judicial technical expert appointed by the judge (CTU) and the expert appointed by the parties (CTP). The expert should not have any interests related to the proceedings. The appointed expert must agree to his own appointment and can reject it only for valid reasons assessed by the judge.
The right to mediation as a social service: problems of implementation in territorial communities of Ukraine
Authors: Yaremko O.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the issues of implementing the right to mediation as a social service in the territorial communities of Ukraine. It is specified that the right to mediation was reflected in the law about twenty years ago and is associated with the development of social policy in Ukrainian society, oriented towards international and European standards.

It is proved that the inconsistency of the legislator in the social services field has become one of the problems of exercising the right to mediation. From the very beginning, mediation was recognized as the second stage of the social service of intermediation (mediation) at the level of by-laws, and the State Standard was approved to ensure the sufficient provision of this service (State Standard of Social Service of Intermediation (Mediation), 2016). The Law of Ukraine, «On Social Services», adopted in 2019, recognized mediation and intermediation as two separate «basic» social services but did not make any changes that would lay the foundations for a state standard for mediation as an independent social service. As for the Classifier of Social Services approved in 2020, the list of social services provided only uses the term «intermediation» as the name of the social service. However, the term «mediation» is used to describe the place of provision of the social service «intermediation». Such legislative contradictions and terminological inconsistencies affect the work of local self-government bodies, which are obliged to exercise their powers to ensure the provision of social services only on the grounds, in the manner and within the limits provided for by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine.

It is emphasised that the approach to the interpretation of mediation as the second stage of social intermediation (mediation) stated in the State Standard is «outdated», as it does not comply with the provisions of paragraphs 10, 18 of Part 6 of Article 16 of the Law of Ukraine «On Social Services», and negates the right to free choice of a social service provider (the right to choose a mediator rather than an intermediary immediately), as well as the right to ensure the best interests of individuals/families in need of social mediation.

The article focuses on the problem of low awareness of both the population and officials/relevant employees of local self-government bodies on mediation (its essence and features, mediability of disputes, search and engagement of mediators, etc.), as well as on the latter’s obligation to actively inform the population about the social service of mediation and provide advice on the exercise of the right to receive it.
Local Government Expansion of Mobile Governance during the Pandemic
Authors: Nafi'ah Binti Azizatun
Published: September 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, mobile governance has been more popular than old public services since the government implemented social distancing and stay at-home policies. This study will contribute to the scientific literature on m-governance and public administration application development in Indonesia. This study aims to examine local government applications and identify application categories owned by local governments in East Java Province. This study uses a quantitative approach and secondary data from the Android smartphone Play Store. After data collection, the researcher applied descriptive statistical analysis to quantify applications made by the local government in East Java Province. Finally, the researcher classified those applications into enterprise- and citizen focused apps. The results found that local governments in East Java Province have 362 m-governance applications. The regional offices in East Java used at least 15 uniform applications. Most applications (86%) focused on community service; the rest were business-oriented. The highest category was productivity communication applications and 14% of applications focused on business activities. Thus, based on the topic, this study is the first to examine how local governments might categorize Android-based applications.
The Role of Risk Management Implementation in Increasing Accountability: A Study of All Regency/Municipality Governments
Authors: Yudiyanto Yudiyanto , Ningsih Sri
Published: September 2023

The regional government is susceptible to risks that may impede attaining objectives while executing its responsibilities and powers, necessitating implementing risk management measures. Implementing risk management in local governments is a novel development, with corresponding guidelines issued in 2019. This study seeks to test whether applying risk management based on these provisions can positively impact increasing financial accountability. The present investigation involves the entirety of the population within the jurisdiction of the regency/municipality government as the research participants. The study's empirical data were acquired from the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency and the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenpan-RB). Subsequently, the data were subjected to regression analysis techniques utilizing SPSS software. This paper provides findings that entities that implement risk management will have implications for higher SAKIP scores. This implies that risk management can deliver reasonable guarantees to achieving local government goals, especially regarding financial accountability. The present research employs the SAKIP score as a surrogate for assessing accountability, albeit acknowledging its restricted measurement outcomes and partial depiction of local government accountability. Specifically, the SAKIP score delineates the accountability of performance attained by a governmental entity in executing programs and activities funded by the APBN/APBD. The findings of this research possess the potential to be extended to all local governing bodies to enhance the attainment of local government accountability goals.
The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for Best Employee Selection: Reward Implementation Strategy in Government Agencies
Authors: Muzayanah Umi , Haryanto Joko Tri , Koeswinarno Koeswinarno
Published: September 2023

Reward is a strategy for empowering employees as human resources to achieve the bureaucratic reform target, namely creating civil servants' human resources with integrity, neutrality, competence, capability, professionalism, high performance, and prosperity. An appreciation of the award is giving the title of the best employee to ASN (Civil Servants), who have the best performance and achievement. Generally, the superior carries out the employee appraisal system, which is often subjective. The Office of Religious Research and Development Ministry of Religious Affairs Semarang has implemented an assessment of the best employee based on peer assessment. The article aimed to describe and discuss the process of evaluating and selecting the best employees at the Office of Religious Research and Development in Semarang. This study used a quantitative approach through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The respondents were 38 civil servants at the Office of Religious Research and Development Semarang, consisting of 9 administrative and 29 research personnel. The findings showed that the application of AHP succeeded in selecting the two best employees, consisting of one person from the administrative staff and one from the research staff. The assessment of employees is relatively objective because a rather large number of colleagues carry it out. AHP is likely to be applied in government agencies because it is flexible, easy to understand, and can solve complex problems. Also, AHP can be used by nongovernmental institutions.

Abstract

The article presents the results of the research on the features of Pinus sylvestris L. condition and productivity in forest stands of the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine (in Kharkiv and Sumy regions) for 2006–2021. The study was carried out using the ‘Forests of Ukraine’ Database as of 01.01.2017, and the results of field research at 30 temporary sample plots (TSP), 3 permanent sample plots (PSP) (in 2006–2018), and 13 monitoring plots (2009–2021). Generally accepted methods and new standards were used.

The dynamics of forestry and evaluation indicators of Scots pine stands at sample plots were analyzed and compared with high-productive Scots pine stands. The characteristics of natural regeneration are given. It was revealed that the age structure of pine stands is not optimal: there is an excess of middle-aged stand areas.

Changes in the structure and development of managed Scots pine stands with respect to changing environmental conditions were observed for 2009–2021. Studied forest stands showed a tendency for negative changes in stand structural characteristics related to regeneration and growth.

Drought mainly in combination with even medium anthropogenic impact can further worsen the health status of Scots pine stands in lowland areas of the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Thus, the formulation of forest management measures to mitigate the impact of these stress factors is needed.

Humedales y Gobernanza Ambiental como enfoque para su Planificación-Gestión – Estado de Situación en la Argentina
Authors:   Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias Hídricas, Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Ciudad Universitaria, Santa Fe, Argentina, Antonio-Traba Luis
Published: September 2023

Este trabajo presenta una investigación sobre la situación de los humedales como unidad de planificación y gestión, a partir de un estudio de casos en Argentina. Se basa conceptualmente en el planteo observado en Traba (2020), que es repasado de forma sintética, porque además otorga el marco metodológico al relevamiento realizado. Ese planteo parte de la gobernanza como enfoque para las políticas públicas y los procesos de participación socioinstitucional, aplicado esto a escenarios socioambientales; en este caso, los humedales como unidad territorial-ambiental en el marco de una cuenca. El proceso consistió en un relevamiento de sitios de interés con un formulario web confeccionado con base en los criterios de análisis de esos procesos que emergen del citado trabajo. Los contactos fueron referentes locales ―un nivel de gestión central en estos temas― que estaban a cargo o participaban de espacios o dispositivos institucionales donde se lleva a cabo la gestión de los mismos. Los emergentes detectados terminan de afirmar, por presencia o ausencia, la pertinencia de los factores de “éxito” en esos escenarios, es decir, aquellas condiciones que permiten lograr los objetivos de la sociedad en su conjunto, donde se destaca en particular la importancia de las cuestiones metodológicas para el tratamiento de lo sustantivo en todos los órdenes. Esta situación no es precisamente común, son escenarios ambientales complejos que hoy son eje de preocupación en todos los ámbitos y donde debería jerarquizarse el nivel local de gestión como eje de las acciones en el territorio.

El presente estudio evalúa la variabilidad hidroquímica del río Asana por influencia de la quebrada Millune en Moquegua, Perú. Se analizó la información de monitoreos de calidad de agua durante el periodo 2010-2018 a través de los diagramas de Gibbs, las relaciones molares, el diagrama de Piper, el diagrama de Stiff y el modelo hidrogeoquímico PHREEQC para la identificación de los índices de saturación de los principales minerales a los que están expuestos los cuerpos de agua en evaluación. El análisis por componentes principales permitió la identificación de la variabilidad de la hidroquímica en función de la naturaleza de la fuente y su estacionalidad. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las aguas de la quebrada Millune, afluente del río Asana, son de naturaleza ácida con presencia de iones de aluminio y manganeso en concentraciones elevadas respecto a lo establecido en el ECA agua (estándar de calidad ambiental de agua), a diferencia del río Asana, que presenta concentraciones bajas; ambos ríos son de naturaleza sulfatada cálcica. Se determinó que los iones aluminio y manganeso se deben a la meteorización del mineral alunita y erosión del suelo, aporte mineral, por el deshielo paulatino del nevado Arundani, ubicado en la cabecera de cuenca del río Asana. Finalmente, el río Asana, por su capacidad de amortiguamiento, neutraliza las aguas ácidas y disminuye la solubilidad de los cationes disueltos.

Bogotá es la capital de Colombia y cuenta con cuatro ríos que la atraviesan de oriente a occidente: Tunjuelito, Fucha, Salitre y Torca, los cuales se han subdivido en cuatro tramos para su estudio, por lo que se planificó la metodología para conocer la calidad hídrica del tramo 3 del río Fucha con base en el Índice de Calidad General para Aguas Superficiales (ICACOSU), en relación con el cumplimiento de los objetivos de calidad hídrica establecidos en la Resolución 5731 de 2008 para los ríos de la ciudad. Para dar cumplimiento al objeto de investigación, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de la zona de estudio; se determinaron seis puntos de medición hídrica de los parámetros: OD, SST, DQO, CE, pH, CT, DBO y Q, teniendo en cuenta representatividad y accesibilidad. Obtenidos los resultados del laboratorio se hicieron los cálculos y el análisis para establecer el ICACOSU de 5 y 7 variables, y comparar los resultados de los parámetros con los objetivos de calidad hídrica establecidos para el río Fucha. Se deduce que la calidad del río Fucha para el ICACOSU de siete variables es muy malo para los puntos de monitoreo 5 y 6, por la disminución en la concentración de OD (0.35 y 0.17 mg/l O2, respectivamente) y el aumento de la concentración de DBO5 en el punto de monitoreo 6 (112 mg/l O2); sólo los puntos de monitoreo 2 y 3 cumplen con un valor superior al 50 % en el cumplimiento de los objetivos de calidad hídrica.

In Mexico, around 90 % of the rivers are polluted mainly from wastewater resulting in human health issues. This work is aimed at determining the water quality of Cupatitzio River; 20 sampling sites (SS) were determined in rainy (August 2016) and dry (May 2017) seasons; 31 trace elements (TE) were obtained and 15 physicochemical parameters; three quality indices were calculated: Water Quality Index (WQI), Pollution Index (IC) and the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, Water Quality Index (CCMEWQI). Statistical analysis was conducted to associate variables. Results show for the rainy season, the quality indices indicates that the worst quality is found in the middle watershed due to the wastewater and leachate from a landfill; in the dry season, low quality reaches the low watershed. High concentrations of Fe, Al and P trace elements are found in the middle and lower watershed. It is worth mentioning that they may be associated with the pesticides used in avocado orchards. Finally, analyses show an association between poor quality, low dissolved oxygen and the presence of reservoirs. Therefore, the river water is not fit for human use and consumption.

Este artigo visa analisar criticamente os efeitos da mudança da lei no meio ambiente quanto aos aspectos econômicos, verificando os aspectos jurídicos em relação à legalidade dos dispositivos, tendo em vista princípios constitucionais, fazendo um rápido panorama da legislação anterior em relação as necessidades de mudança tendo em vista a proteção do meio ambiente e exploração econômica do solo. Buscou-se aqui verificar se a edição normativa fere princípios constitucionais ambientais, principalmente aqueles concernentes a preservação do meio ambiente para as gerações futuras. Aborda a questão da sustentabilidade como elemento primordial para vida na Terra e ressalta o papel da educação nesse contexto. A análise interpretativa do texto por fim demonstra os benefícios ou malefícios sociais e econômicos resultantes da adoção do novo Código Florestal.
Dynamic Nature of Positionality: How my Positionality has Changed Through Experience
Authors: Hare Cameron , Lévesque Lucie
Published: September 2023

As an individual of mixed Métis and European descent, growing up and working/studying in a colonial system, I often reflect on how my biases, perspectives, and identity impact my research in Indigenous health promotion. I am aware that my position of privilege may unintentionally marginalize and disempower others. However, I also acknowledge that my connection to my Métis family and community has given me insights into the perceptions and worldview of Indigenous communities in Canada. In this paper, I explore the dual nature of my position and how it is challenged and shaped through my work with the Kahnawà:ke School Diabetes Prevention Program, Indigenous health promotion leaders, and interactions with Indigenous community members. I discuss how my cultural and personal backgrounds, influenced by my Métis and European heritage, are both questioned and reinforced in these experiences, leading to a deeper connection with my family and community. By considering my positionality, I discuss how it both contributes and poses challenges to the research process in Indigenous health promotion contexts.
La vanguardia que ríe: revista Cacharro(s) (2003-2005)
Authors: Silva Guadalupe
Published: September 2023

Cacharro(s) magazine has recently begun to gain the interest it deserves as one of the first digital publications in Cuba. A continuation of the Diáspora(s) project, Cacharro(s) shared with it its avant-garde vocation and its "samizdat" status. In this article I approach this publication from the point of view of its political use of humor. I start with a preliminary definition of the comic in repressive contexts as it has been proposed from dissident positions in Cuba; then I place Cacharro(s) magazine in the context of opposition publications at the turn of the century, and finally I analyze the use of humor in the magazine, taking as an object some cover illustrations and some reflections on laughter as a political attitude.
