Minors who have reached the age of 15 have the right to enter into an employment relationship under certain special conditions. By limiting the age limit for entering into an employment relationship, the state protects minors from the possible exploitation of child labor and other negative consequences that may endanger the life, health, morals and education of minors. In the paper, the author will point out the importance of protecting the best interests of the child in the world of work. The Labor Law prescribes special conditions that must be met in order for minors to be able to enter in to an employment relationship. The paper presents special conditions for entering into an employment relationship with this category of people, such as the minimum age, the consent of the legal representative and protection from jobs that endanger the minor's health, morals and education. Due to the specificity of this employment relationship and the importance of protecting the rights of minors, Directive No. 94/33/EC prescribes numerous rules and restrictions regarding working with minors. In this paper, the author will analyze the legal framework and the importance of respecting these rules in establishing an employment relationship with a minor.

In addition to other definitions, аbortion is a health service for terminating an unwanted pregnancy. In recent years, there are tendencies to change the existing legal solutions that regulate this area at the global and European levels. Namely, the Supreme Court of the United States of America overturned Roe v. Wade verdict and thereby repealed the 50-year-old constitutional right to abortion that was provided for in it. Certain European countries have also adopted new laws that make access to legal abortion much more difficult. In this paper, the author points to the latest changes concerning the legal regulation of abortion in the United States of America and Europe and then analyzes the medical and criminal aspects of the termination of pregnancy. Given that illegal termination of pregnancy is a blanket criminal offense, the author will first present the Law on Procedures for Termination of Pregnancy in a Health Institution, and then she will deal with the criminal offense of illegal termination of pregnancy. At the very end, the author will give concluding remarks on this topic.

Refusal to provide services to another undertaking can be deemed as an abuse of dominant market position in exceptional circumstances only considering that undertakings are free to choose its trading partners. It means that refusal of services provision is unlawfully abusive if it is likely to lead to the elimination of effective if not all competition on a downstream market. It will be a case if refusal relates to a service that is objectively necessary for refused undertaking to do business effectively and if that refusal is not justified by technical or commercial reasons.

Serbian and Montenegrin notaries deal very often with documents which were made abroad before foreign notary and in which the authority of an agent for conclusion of contracts for transfer of immovable property located in Serbia/Montenegro was embedded. This paper discusses the issue whether such documents are valid in respect of form (formal validity), since the rules on form of foreign law may differ from those of the laws of Serbia and Montenegro. In order to solve this issue, Serbian/Montenegrin notaries have to determine the law applicable to the form of agency. Considering that the PIL Act of Serbia and the PIL Act of Montenegro contain different conflict-of-law rules on agency and their substantive laws differently regulate the form in which agent’s authority for conclusion of such contracts has to be given, the issue is discussed from the point of view of each country respectively.

Authors: Kemali E. S.
Published: July 2023

The need to take decisive measures against officials who undermine business is noted in the President’s Message of September 2, 2019. To date, the criminal legal protection of the interests of entrepreneurship still remains the most effective measure among other preventive measures. At the same time, the responsibility provided for by the criminal law for encroachments in the sphere of activity under consideration does not achieve the goals of punishment. Such common crimes as obstruction of legitimate business activities, raiding and others are one of the most difficult to prove offenses, due to the fact that the actions of the perpetrators are veiled under the legitimate nature of either the performance of their duties or civil transactions. In this regard, the author of the article gives a detailed criminological and criminal-legal characteristics of offenses that infringe on the rights and legitimate interests of business entities. Based on the analysis of statistical data, judicial and investigative practice of consideration of criminal cases related to obstruction of entrepreneurial activity, the experience of foreign countries, a number of measures to improve legislation are proposed. The results obtained can be useful in rule-making activities and updating theoretical approaches to criminal law protection of the rights and interests of entrepreneurs.

On the role of the institution of categorization of criminal offenses in combating crime
Authors: Ashirova G. T. , Akimzhanov T. K.
Published: July 2023

The theoretical and practical aspects of the importance of the institute of categorization of criminal offenses in the Republic of Kazakhstan in combating crime are considered. The authors analyzed the modern legal understanding and law enforcement of the institute of categorization of criminal offenses from the point of view of criminal legislation and the science of criminal law. The authors presented a number of novelties and recommendations for further improvement of law enforcement activities in the current criminal legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The difficulty for legal users lies, for example, in the fact that there are separate articles consisting of several parts, part of one article of which can be attributed to four different categories of crimes (for example, articles 120, 121, 122 of the Criminal Code refer simultaneously to crimes of medium, severe, especially grave severity; article 143 of the Criminal Code is less serious, grave means crimes of medium gravity, grave; Article 367 of the Criminal Code means all four categories of crimes at the same time: Part 1-less serious, part 2-medium gravity, part 3-serious crimes, etc.). This issue deserves detailed independent research and understanding. As a positive example, we will cite the legal technique used in Article 7-1 of the former Criminal Code of the Kazakh SSR “the concept of a grave crime”. The legislator of that period clearly defined the concept of a serious crime, since he compiled a list of all serious crimes falling under this category. This made it easier for law enforcement agencies to manage events in the process of work and to give the right qualifications for certain crimes committed, which, in turn, means the correct imposition of punishment.
On the concept and subjects of the official interpretation of the rules of law
Authors: Zhanuzakova L. Т.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to one of the most important problems of the general theory of law. The issues of official interpretation of law, despite the relatively greater development in the soviet and modern legal literature of the Republic of Kazakhstan and other states of the post-soviet space, nevertheless, remain relevant. The legislation of our country rather ambiguously and controversially defines the concept and subjects of the official interpretation of laws and other regulatory legal acts, giving rise to some contradictions in the laws themselves and thereby causing an arbitrary interpretation of legislative norms by law enforcement agencies, organizations and citizens. And this is a direct path to arbitrariness, violation of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities, as well as the state itself and society as a whole. In this regard, the author of this work made an attempt to comprehend this problem from scientific positions and give his own vision of its solution.

Authors: Braga Marcela , Martins Larissa , Moreira Luiz , Lasmar Felipe , Leite Fernando
Published: July 2023

INTRODUCTION: Legal Medicine seeks to bring symbolic reparation to victims of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, in addition to contributing to society, ensuring justice and preventing further episodes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Literature review using scientific articles (2021-2022), Treaty of Forensic Anthropology, Istanbul Protocol, Guidelines of resolution nº 414 of the National Council of Justice and Notebook of Official Questions of the Civil Judicial Police of the State of Mato Grosso. RESULTS: Almada et al. (2022) carried out a study of death in custody during state terrorism in Uruguay (1973-1985), and it was possible to observe that the profile of the victims was predominantly male with a mean age of 37 years. Most victims died violent deaths, the predominant cause of which was torture. Petersen (2022) offers his 30 years of experience working with documentation and prevention of torture, bringing the main points related to his visits to detention centers in different countries. DISCUSSION: It is not an easy job to abolish torture and mistreatment after a dictatorial regime, after all a culture of repression was created. It is believed that the denial by the rulers in the first years of democracy is decisive for the perpetuation of the practice in the country. The investigation and documentation clarify the facts and facilitate the exercise of criminal action, in addition to bringing the need for reparation and reimbursement by the State to the victims. CONCLUSION: The official requirements must be reformulated in order to contemplate the investigation of events and enable the creation of public policies.

Jehovah’s Witness patients, because of their religious beliefs, refuse blood transfusions. Thereby, these patients’ treatment is a medical challenge due to the ethical-legal dilemma. This article aims to explore the conflict between the physician’s duty and respect for the patient’s autonomy, relating to the ethical and legal aspect. Methodology: an integrative review was made on the PubMed, Scielo, Capes Periódicos and Lilacs databases. Furthermore, the Federal Constitution, the Penal Code and the resolutions of the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) on the subject were analyzed. Review: Article 5, item VI, of the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil guarantees Brazilians and foreigners residing in the country freedom of conscience and belief, while CFM Resolution N. 1,021 / 80 imposes that the doctor must transfuse blood into the adult Witness of Jehovah patient in cases of risk of death, even without consent. This resolution is in accordance with article 135 of the Penal Code, which states: “medical or surgical intervention, without the consent of the patient or his legal representative, if justified by an imminent danger of death”. Conclusion: the limit between the patient’s autonomy and the physician’s duty is the threat of death, therefore, the doctor has the obligation to transfuse blood in these cases, without the need for consent, whether from the patient or its guardian.

Authors: DOĞAN Gamze , YILMAZ İlkay
Published: July 2023

Chocolate is a food that people of all ages love to consume. The sensory quality of chocolate is determined by its appearance, taste, aroma, and flavor. Chestnut honey, on the other hand, is a honey that is rich in amino acids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, potassium, magnesium, and bioactive substances produced by the pollen of the chestnut tree and flower nectars, it has high antibacterial activity, and it contains important antioxidant compounds. In this study, it is aimed to develop a new product, which was filled with organic chestnut honey and chocolate, and bring it to the market. Chestnut honey was added to chocolate in varying proportions and subjected to quality grading by trained panelists. In the analysis attended by 10 panelists, the quality criteria of appearance, texture, smell, taste, and general acceptance were evaluated under sub-headings. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the trained panelists gave 4.5±0.67 points out of 5- point scale above the average in terms of general acceptance, and consequently the favorite product was dark chocolate with 7% chestnut honey. In addition, the consumer taste test was applied to a group of 82 people for the filled chocolate with the highest score in the quality rating test. In the test applied depending on the 5-point scale, it was found that the general appreciation was high with the values of 4.75±0.54. As a result of the findings, it was determined that the bitter feeling of chestnut honey in the mouth was perceived in the obtained chocolate, and this was liked by the consumer (X ̅ = 4.75). With this study, it can be said that chestnut honey and chocolate provide flavor harmony.

This article examines DNA phenotyping in general and highlights international perspectives regarding the use of this technique. The article interrogates the genetic basis of predicting externally visible characteristics, the potential value of the technique, and the pitfalls regarding its use. Despite the ethical and legal concerns and debates concerning DNA phenotyping, the potential value of this technique should not be underestimated. In the context of the high number of serious crimes such as rape and murder that remain unsolved in South Africa, the responsible and scientific application of DNA phenotyping might prove to be an effective additional tool in criminal investigation.
Fair trial rights, pre-trial civil motions in pending criminal cases and abuse of court process with reference to the Free State asbestos pre-trial motion proceedings
Authors: Swanepoel CF
Published: July 2023

South Africans have become accustomed to almost daily news reports of litigation in our courts that involve politically powerful and well-connected individuals. The perception by the public is that in many instances litigants approach the courts for other reasons than achieving justice and are therefore misusing our courts and its processes.1 This becomes a matter of concern when such perceptions affect the trust and confidence that the public holds in respect of the judicial system and the rule of law. The recent Free State asbestos pre-trial motion proceedings illustrate some of these concerns. This article first comments on the judgment of the Free State high court in this matter, and focusses on the unmeritorious aspects of the applications made. These aspects included a claim that the applicants’ right to a fair trial were infringed, and the applicants’ disregard for the established principle against preliminary civil motions emanating from criminal proceedings. Legal practitioners advise their clients and must do so responsibly. For that reason, the second part of the article comments on the professional rules of conduct against the abuse of the court process in relation to legal practitioners’ obligations to both their clients and the court. This duty includes not to litigate causes or raise defences that have little chance of success or where they are initiated by litigants for purposes other than achieving justice. Improper purposes include delaying the proceedings to escape criminal liability and ultimately, accountability. In order to curb pre-trial litigation in any court other than the criminal trial court, the article proposes an extension of the Criminal Procedure Act to clarify when such other court may be approached for relief. It also proposes that a certificate of probable cause accompanies all pre-trial motions that emanate from criminal proceedings in a court other than the trial court.
Court’s power to order the minister to place a prisoner on parole in South Africa: Walus v Minister of Justice and Correctional Services and Others 2023 (2) BCLR 224 (CC)
Authors: Mujuzi Jamil Ddamulira
Published: July 2023

Section 78 of the Correctional Services Act (the Act) empowers the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services (the minister) to grant parole to an offender serving a life sentence (lifer). Between 2004 and 2008, a court had the power to place a lifer on parole. However, this power was transferred from the court to the minister in 2008. In Walus v Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, the Constitutional Court relied on the pre-2008 version of s 78 of the Act to hold that a court has the power to release a lifer on parole. The court ordered the minister to place the offender on parole after finding that the decision to decline his parole application was irrational. It is argued that although the court correctly invoked the principle of rationality to order the minister to place the offender on parole, it erred when it held that s 78 of the Correctional Services Act empowered it to order the minister to place the offender on parole. It is also argued that the court erred when it equated the non-parole period with a sentencing remark. It is argued further that since rehabilitation is the most important factor in deciding whether an offender should be granted parole, the Correctional Services Act may have to be amended to provide for the offender’s right to access effective rehabilitation programmes.
Acting in the best interests of children with psychiatric disorders who conflict with the law: A critical analysis of South African legislation
Authors: Geoffrey Leandré C , Schoeman Marelize I
Published: July 2023

The significant prevalence of psychiatric disorders in child offenders requires the justice system to provide direction in the treatment of these children. This submission considers whether the Children’s Act 38 of 2005, the Child Justice Act 78 of 2008, the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 and the child justice procedures uphold the best interests of child offenders with a mental illness or defects by juxtaposing South African legislation and child justice procedures with the best interests standard principle. The authors conclude that current legislation and legal procedures are not in the best interests of children with psychiatric disorders. Children with mental illness or defects are not adequately protected and they cannot participate equally in justice delivery processes. Furthermore, adequate consideration is not given to the affect of mental disorders or defects in decisions during child justice proceedings. It is recommended that the Child Justice Act be amended to include a section in which the rights of children with psychiatric disorders are protected and measures be put in place to address their psychosocial and developmental needs. Children with psychiatric disorders who are in conflict with the law should be classified as children in need of care and protection to break the causal nexus between psychiatric disorders and delinquency.
The adequacy of rape criminalisation in modern South Africa: A comparative study
Authors: Botha Rinda , Peens Janine
Published: July 2023

In the past fifteen years, South Africa has embarked on substantial reform of its sexual offences laws. In many respects, these reforms are like those in other jurisdictions, addressing issues of definition and sentencing. Yet the country’s rape statistics remain startlingly high, and rape sentencing remains inconsistent. To assess the adequacy of rape criminalisation in South Africa, this article starts off with an overview of relevant local case law. It becomes clear that, although the state is not always consistent in prosecuting the accused of all variants of sexual penetration, prosecution in terms of the current, broader definition of rape is common, as is the imposition of minimum sentences for these convictions. Also, courts remain inconsistent in interpreting which factors should count as substantial and compelling circumstances to justify a lesser sentence. A comparative look at the legal position in England and Canada firstly confirms that rape remains a global concern, and that South Africa is not the only jurisdiction that has grappled with defining and sentencing the offence. Yet South Africa could stand to learn a few lessons from these two countries to further improve its law on rape. Recommendations include adopting a more succinct definition of rape, introducing more conduct-specific charges and sentencing (similar to England’s ‘assault by penetration’), and providing a well-defined list of substantial and compelling circumstances to establish greater legal clarity in the sentencing of rape offenders.

Animation Technology to Enhance Communication of Cultural Heritage: A Systematic Review
Authors: Zhang Xinge , Ismail@Kamal Julina
Published: July 2023

Cultural heritage is the wealth of people all over the world. The question of how to effectively improve the preservation and communication of cultural heritage has become an important research hot-spot. The available research results show that animation technology is an exciting avenue for preservation and communication. This systematic review examines how animation technology can be used to protect and disseminate cultural heritage, whether it has a positive impact on cultural heritage as a whole, and identifies the factors that influence the communication effect. This study conducts the systematic analysis by integrating the quantitative results of a total of 36 papers that measure the impact of animation technology on cultural heritage. The research results confirm that animation technology (VR, 3D, 2D, and interactive technology) has a moderate impact on the effectiveness of audience perception and attitude. In addition, this study analyzes the role of moderating variables such as technology type, personal factors, and environmental factors. Ultimately, this study reveals a gap in the empirical comparative study of the effectiveness of different animation techniques in the field of cultural heritage.

Investigation of IR Reflective Coating for Plexiglas Canopy
Authors: Perjalian Sara
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Solar energy is necessary for our global ecosystem. In certain times and parts of the world, the heat generated from the energy of the Sun becomes uncomfortable for us and we need to use additional energy to cool down the generated heat from the Sun. This additional energy usage is detrimental to our environment due to generation of air pollution and use of our natural energy resources. The purpose of this paper is to investigate prevention of undesired generation of heat by the Sun using reflective coating materials.

Methodology: In this study, using literature review, Ga doped Zinc Oxide (GZO) is theoretically investigated as a visible light transparent and infrared reflective coating material for the Plexiglas canopy of a solar car. The effect of doping concentration and film thickness is reviewed and discussed. Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is also studied, using various literature reviews, as an infrared reflective coating material that is transparent in the visible light region. Finally, a spectrophotometer was used to examine the optical properties of a Plexiglas, slide glass, and ITO coated glass, and the results of UV and visible light transmittance measurement of the three materials is presented and discussed.

Findings: GZO and ITO films both have high transparency in the visible region of the solar spectrum and high reflectivity to IR radiation starting from 1500 nm to higher wavelengths. None of these films completely reflect the IR radiation with wavelengths in the range of 700 nm to 1500 nm which contribute to generation of heat most. Many factors such as doping concentration and thickness of the films affect reflectivity of the films due to their effect on shifting the plasma frequency. Increasing doping concentration and thickness of the GZO films until a certain threshold improves IR reflectivity of GZO films, but it was not possible to precisely formulate these factors within this study. Reducing the particle size in nanoparticle ITO film improves transmittance of the film in the visible light region and its reflectance in the IR region. The measurement results showed that Plexiglas and glass have a high transparency to visible and near IR radiation.

Recommendations: Further investigation and experimentation is recommended to fully understand and formulate doping concentration and film thickness of GZO and ITO to achieve optimal IR reflectivity within the 700 to 1500 nm wavelength region while maintaining visible light transparency. In regards to ITO coating, reduced nanoparticle size is recommended to improve the desired visible and IR transparency and reflectivity of the film. Although GZO and ITO coatings’ doping concentration and thickness to achieve IR reflectivity within the 700 to 1500 nm wavelengths is not well understood in this study, to reduce heat generation they are still recommended as a coating material due to their reflectivity to IR with wavelengths of above 1500 nm which also play a role in generation of heat.

Purpose: Every day, new technologies and appealing devices are released that are aimed at a large portion of our population, particularly youth, and students. These devices get young people addicted; the addiction is to frequently utilize or grow depending on the gadget. People spend a lot of time on it, and it can induce psychological and neurological disturbances, which can lead to significant problems. This study aims to determine the association between the usage of electronic gadgets on students’ physical health and cognitive skills. As COVID-19 indicated extensive use of technology, the main outcome of this study is to intervene in the impact of electronic gadgets either positive or negative on student life.

Methodology: Over 01 year (Feb 21 to Jan 22), this Quantitative- Analytical Cross-sectional study was conducted at Indus University of Health and science, Korangi Crossing, Karachi. Students of three academic departments of the university participated in the study i.e., Indus College of Allied Health Sciences, Indus College of Physical Therapy, and College of Nursing. Sample size of 170 with the margin of error as 4.6% and 95% confidence level. Both male and female age group between (16 to 35) active user of social media and electronic gadgets was enrolled in study from any discipline (nursing, allied health, biosciences, medical technology etc.). Any person with mental and physical disorder previously diagnosed or under any psychological treatment or medication was not included in the study

Findings:

Recommendations: If the study is repeated with a larger and more representative sample (which was not possible due to COVID Pandemic) significant influence or otherwise, of time spent on electronic gadgets on physical health could also be detected.

Special education involves the preparation of teaching procedures and materials, and other interventions designed to address the needs of a child with learning differences, disabilities, and giftedness. Autism is a neurological complex condition that affects behavior, socialization and communication of the child. As such, PECS is a form of augmentative and alternative communication that uses pictures, images and symbols which was designed to provide aid and support to children with autism in enhancing their communication skills. In particular, this research assessed the extent of effectivity of Pictures Exchange Communication System to the communication skills of learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder at Bright Gem Learning Center, Consolacion Central - SPED Center, and Talamban Elementary School - SPED Center as basis for development plan. The study utilized a mixed type of research method: Quantitative - Qualitative research and Thematic Synthesis approach. This research study has 30 learner respondents, 30 parent/ guardian respondents, and three SPED teachers involved. The questionnaire for learners with ASD was adapted from the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder, Picture Exchange Communication System: Steps for Implementation. For the parent/ guardian respondents and SpEd teachers, research-made questionnaires are provided to assess the effectivity of PECS in the communication of learners with ASD at home and at school settings. The study found out that the Physically Assisted Exchange was considered to be highly effective. On the contrary, Responding to What They Want, resulted to be moderately effective. Generally, the study concluded that PECS can enhance the communication skills of learners with ASD. It is strongly recommended, especially to non-verbal learners, to use PECS as one of the techniques to improve their receptive and expressive communication skills.
