Income tax law does not offer a coherent regulatory concept for the transfer of a company to a charitable organization. In particular, the book value privileges for the transfer of business assets for tax-privileged purposes are incomplete. There are also uncertainties concerning the question, whether the transfer of business assets to a charitable organization will be classified as a hidden contribution or profit distribution and there are unanswered questions regarding the amount of the charitable deduction from income tax. This book shows how the interface between corporate tax law and non-profit law can be structured in a logical and appropriate way. It proposes solutions by interpreting the current law and suggesting new regulations de lege ferenda.
Schutz vor unredlichem Whistleblowing durch Auskunftsansprüche Beschuldigter
Authors: Hörer Sophie-Marie
Published: August 2024

The central issue addressed by the thesis is whether a wrongfully accused person can demand information from the employer pursuant to Art. 15 (1) GDPR as to who provided the employer with the relevant information. The right of access of data subjects could be a means for the accused to assert subsequent claims against the dishonest whistleblower. However, the controller faces a challenge insofar as the right to information and the protection of whistleblowers - now standardized by national law - are in conflict. Therefore the thesis intends to achieve a balance between the conflicting interest of the accused in disclosure and the confidentiality interest of the whistleblower.
Privatheit verstanden als Abgrenzung

Although views on what privacy 'actually' is vary widely, common ground can be found between them. This book argues that even a common conceptual understanding is possible, based on an analysis of existing expressions of privacy. To this end, the current state of research is systematised and analysed for common denominators - the result is a concept of privacy that focuses on demarcation: and thus unites the most diverse concepts of privacy, from data protection to private spheres to personal decisions, in one term.

The impact of ecommerce on society is wide and varied. Primarily, ecommerce provides wider and more precise access to products and services. Users can now easily find the product or service they want through the Internet. Also, ecommerce allows stores and companies to reach a wider customer base. Companies that trade over the Internet have the ability to sell without being subject to geographic restrictions to reach customers worldwide. E-commerce also creates new business opportunities and provides convenience for consumers. People can now buy the products they want without leaving home. This means more customer potential and revenue for business owners. However, there are also negative effects of e commerce. For example, issues such as the impact on brick and mortar stores, the decline in job creation per commodity, and data threats play an important role in discussing the impact of e commerce on society

Analysis of the impact of IFRS 16 on lease accounting
Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Economics, Mamadova A.R
Published: August 2024

The new accounting model, IFRS 16, has established new criteria and a fixed regime for all types of leases, regardless of whether the risks of ownership of the asset are transferred to the lessee. By standardizing the way leases are accounted for, IFRS 16 seeks to ensure that reporting entities account for financing from operating leases in their balance sheets and that credit risk analysis is less biased. Some industries, including air transportation, retail, and tourism leisure, will be more affected by the new criteria than others, and most market players have already taken steps to address related issues. However, the broad implications of the new standard are just beginning to be understood.

Innovative Business Models for Design Service Providers: Enhancing MSME Digital Transformation
Authors: Fathiya Putri Zahra  , Suharto Yulianto
Published: August 2024

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are supported by the Indonesian government to grow through
digital transformation as one of the biggest players in the Indonesian economy. Unfortunately, many MSMEs struggle to grow optimally due to the uneven distribution of information and education on business and digital transformation. Design service providers aim to help MSMEs maximize their potential through effective branding and digital marketing. However, even a design service provider encounters challenges, including inefficiencies in the business model and a lack of customer acquisition and retention. This research aims to provide insights and recommendations for business model innovation by evaluating the current business model of a design service provider and developing strategies aligned with current industry conditions. Using the Business Model Framework by Chu and Ten Types of Innovation by Doblin, the study identifies areas that should be evaluated, improved, and innovated. The methodology includes (1) a focus group discussion with the internal team of a design service provider to uncover issues from an internal perspective and (2) interviews with the customer persona of the design service provider, which includes ten potential and past customers, to understand external perspectives. The data is analyzed using thematic analysis, open coding, and pattern coding, followed by triangulation to ensure validity. The findings suggest that existing business models may not meet customer needs and desires. Additionally, MSMEs' varying levels of technology understanding influence their purchasing decisions for design services. Therefore, continuous evaluation and improvement of business models are essential to meet the target market's needs. Design service providers will also need to understand the diverse types of MSMEs to tailor their offerings effectively.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this research is to provide strengthening of indigenous governance structures based on local wisdom in protecting the territorial rights of Indigenous Peoples. The research method can be grouped into the realm of socio-legal research, namely the type of socio-legal research, so the approach used is the non-doctrinal approach method.  The results show that the strengthening of indigenous government structures based on local wisdom has been implemented in the Republic of Indonesia and has received protection guarantees, but the regulation of the existence of indigenous government structures in strengthening the territorial rights of indigenous peoples has not been answered properly. Recognition of smaller community unit areas cannot only be guaranteed by using policies alone, the existence of indigenous government structures in villages / customary territories / other names is not just formed but is influenced by genelogical-territorial so that regional ties and blood descent structures are very strong. Legal requirements Article 97 Paragraphs (1) and (2) of the Village Law explain that the establishment of an adat village must fulfill the following requirements: the existence of a customary law community unit along with its traditional rights that are actually still alive, whether territorial, genelogical, or functional in nature and the existence of customary government institutions.  The implications of this research suggest that for the effective protection of Indigenous Peoples' territorial rights, a more comprehensive legal and policy framework is needed that recognizes and supports the complex genealogical and territorial structures of customary governance.

Authors: Nnajieto Augustina Onyedikachi , Nnajieto Charles Chibuzor
Published: August 2024

Electoral violence is a critical challenge to democratic processes in Nigeria, undermining the credibility and integrity of elections. This paper explores the underlying causes of electoral violence and proposes strategies for its prevention to achieve credible elections. Drawing on Social Identity Theory (SIT), the study highlights how group dynamics and social identities shape behaviour and contribute to conflict during elections. Factors such as political exclusion, economic disparities, and historical grievances are identified as primary drivers of violence. The paper argues for a multifaceted approach to prevention, including fostering inclusive political representation, promoting intergroup dialogue, challenging harmful social norms, and supporting electoral education. Additionally, the role of responsible media, institutional legitimacy, and nonviolent conflict resolution are emphasized. By addressing the root causes and implementing these strategies, Nigeria can enhance the credibility of its elections and ensure a stable and democratic political environment. The study underscores the importance of understanding social dynamics and adopting comprehensive measures to mitigate electoral violence effectively.

Tumors in this small cavity could quickly result in crucial symptoms in vision, even though complete loss of vision. These tumors may be infectious, inflammatory or neoplastic. Management and follow up may differ based on the tumor type, site, and spread into other systems. Because of what is known that the orbital cavity constitutes a small space, so that tiny projections like that observed with tumors and infection could result in huge physiologic disorders in near structures leading to anatomical and weak or total loss of vision. Deep awareness about orbit structure and physiology is needed to be aware about the complications of different orbital disorders and surgical therapy.

Authors: Ramos Rafaella Dias , Longue Júnior Dalton , Gomes Fernando José Borges , Medeiros  Natielly Cristine Gomes de
Published: August 2024

Os gêneros Eucalyptus e Pinus representam as principais espécies madeireiras que formam as florestas plantadas utilizadas pelo setor de celulose no Brasil, e por isso muitos estudos são realizados correlacionando as características tecnológicas da madeira, as variáveis do processo de polpação e a qualidade da polpa celulósica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os estudos que relacionam a densidade básica e a composição química da madeira com as variáveis de processo de polpação e com as características da polpa celulósica. Foi utilizado o princípio do estudo exploratório por meio de uma revisão de literatura. Os principais estudos utilizados nesta pesquisa apontaram que os melhores clones de eucalipto utilizados na indústria de polpa apresentaram densidade básica entre 400 e 550 kg/m³ , rendimento em polpa não branqueada entre 45 e 55%, número kappa 17-18 e viscosidade da polpa marrom superior a 1200 cm³/g. Com relação aos melhores clones do gênero Pinus, estes apresentaram densidade básica variando entre 370 e 440 kg/m³ , menor que a variação verificada para o Eucalyptus; rendimento similar aos estudos com Eucalyptus, variando entre 45 e 51%; e número kappa 30-32, maior que o utilizado em cozimentos com madeira de Eucalyptus. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho permitiram concluir que, dentre as características da madeira, a densidade básica foi a mais utilizada nas indústrias de celulose para nortear o rendimento do processo, enquanto o teor de extrativos e relação S/G da lignina foi pouco apresentada pelas pesquisas.

Lukas Kühne’s Tvísöngur: Sculpture for a Concrete, Uncompressed Voice
Authors:   University of Brighton, Louvel Olivia
Published: August 2024

This article draws from fieldwork and investigates the site-specific sound sculpture Tvísöngur (2012), conceived by sculptor Lukas Kühne. Located on the mountainside in Seyðisfjörður, Northeast Iceland, Tvísöngur—also known as the ‘singing’ sculpture—is made from five interconnected domes, each tuned to react to a specific pitch. The sculptural arrangement of the five domes is a direct three-dimensional representation of fifth singing, an ancient vocal practice consisting of a polyphonic chant where two vocalists sing in parallel fifths with voice-crossings at times. The article explores notions of public participation and corporeal engagement and investigates the sculpture’s aural agency and acoustic principles. Tvísöngur operates as a place of passage for a prospective vocal encounter within sculpture. The article establishes how Tvísöngur actively contributes to a sensorial experience of an uncompressed space and voice. This article is derived from Louvel’s thesis and her ongoing research on the interplay of voice with sculpture.
Speech acts and speech genres: the case of the compliment
Authors: Sharonov Igor A.
Published: August 2024

This article is devoted to the speech act of compliment, which is treated herein as express­ing the speaker's attention and partiality to their interlocutor. The similarities and differences between speech acts of compliment and praise are analysed, with the characteristics of com­pliment linked to the gender and age of the interlocutor. Particular attention is paid to the concepts of speech act and speech genre and the applicability of these notions in analysing the speech act of compliment. When considering a compliment as an independent act, the con­cepts of 'speech act' and 'speech genre' serve as synonyms. When a compliment is part of a complex utterance consisting of several different speech acts, 'speech act' and 'speech genre' refer to disparate concepts. This article examines cases of compliment usage as an independent act (speech genre) and within other speech genres, such as requests, gratitude expressions, consolations and condemnations, where a compliment amplifies or mitigates the speaker's intention.
