Юридична відповідальність викривача у практиці Європейського суду з прав людини: передумови для деталізації регулювання у законодавстві України
Authors: Сидоров Я. О. , Щипанова О. О. , Юрченко В. В.
Published: December 2024

Метою дослідження є окреслення засад юридичної відповідальності викривача відповідно до практики ЄСПЛ як основи для деталізації відповідних положень законодавства України. Актуальність дослідження підстав та меж юридичної відповідальності викривача пов’язана з тим, що утверджений у законодавстві України підхід до їх визначення не забезпечує охорони прав та законних інтересів осіб, яких стосується інформація, що надходить викривачів, а також достатнім чином не стримує викривачів від зловживання механізмом їх захисту та недобросовісного підриву репутації осіб, яких стосується інформація від викривачів, та від невиправданого спричинення негативних наслідків для інших приватних інтересів та публічного порядку. У ході дослідження використовується комплекс методів наукового пізнання, в основі якого лежить порівняльний метод, формально-догматичний метод та метод державно-правового моделювання. У результаті дослідження визначено, що за законодавством України викривачу гарантується юридична недоторканність, незалежно від ступеня достовірності та значення його інформації, співвідношення негативних наслідків її розголошення із корисним ефектом від цього. Натомість, ЄСПЛ у його усталеній практиці у справах про правомірність втручання у свободу викривача щодо поширення інформації про ймовірне правопорушення, керуючись групою взаємопов’язаних критеріїв, які включають, насамперед: 1) доступність альтернативних каналів для розкриття інформації; 2) суспільний інтерес до інформації, що була розголошена, у зіставленні із шкодою, що заподіяна внаслідок її розголошення; 3) достовірність інформації. Зокрема, ЄСПЛ підкреслює необхідність першочергового використання викривачами захищених каналів повідомлення інформації, особливо, якщо її поширення зовнішніми каналами може негативно позначитись на приватних та публічних інтересах. Інформація може бути оприлюднена перед широким загалом лише в тих випадках, коли захищеними каналами це явно неможливо здійснити або коли це з високою часткою вірогідності не призведе до належного реагування на повідомлення. Також, на викривача має бути покладений обов’язок перевіряти, перш ніж оприлюднити інформацію, наскільки це можливо, що відповідна інформація є достовірною. Автор дійшов висновку, що не забезпечувати реалізацію цих критеріїв на національному рівні при вирішенні питання про наявність підстав для поширення на конкретного викривача юридичного імунітету у тих чи інших межах держава може лише за умови, якщо вона візьме на себе відповідальність за майнову та (або) моральну шкоду, що стали результатом здійснення повідомлення викривачем.

The Homelessness Income Cut Off
Authors: Kneebone Ronald , Wilkins Margarita
Published: December 2024

Most people with income below Canada’s official poverty line avoid homelessness. They do so by making extraordinary efforts to minimize out-of-pocket expenses and so conserve income for rent. These efforts involve moving to less expensive accommodations, living in more crowded housing, forgoing non-necessities, and relying on charities to reduce expenditures on food, clothing, and other necessities. These efforts to minimize expenditures mean that the poverty line is a poor measure of the income required to avoid homelessness. The absence of such a measure means we are unable to determine whether income supports are adequate for keeping people from experiencing homelessness.
The Homeless Income Cut Off (HICO) measures the amount of income families and individuals need to minimize their risk of becoming homeless after they have exhausted their own efforts to remain housed. This paper explains how the HICO is calculated and how it can be used to gauge the adequacy of income support policies intended to keep Canadians from becoming homeless. Since income supports and the costs of necessities vary across Canada and over time, this paper presents calculations of the HICO for seven cities (Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax) and for eight years (2015–22).
The HICO does not describe what people with low-income must do before they receive income assistance. Rather, it shows how bad the affordability crisis is for them — a crisis caused by rising housing costs and food prices, lagging incomes and holes in the social safety net. The calculations show the extent to which Canadians with low income must rely on food banks and other charities to hang on to their housing, a reliance made necessary by income supports that are frequently inadequate for this purpose.
The HICO provides policymakers with a gauge against which they can evaluate the adequacy on income supports for preventing homelessness. Income supports need, at the very least, to be sufficient to enable families and individuals to maintain their housing after they have exhausted their own efforts to do so.
Barreras de comunicación en Cuidados Paliativos: el rol del profesional de enfermería
Authors: Rojas Chacón Laura
Published: December 2024

Los Cuidados Paliativos son un enfoque biopsicosocial y espiritual de abordaje dirigido a personas que enfrentan enfermedades de mal pronóstico, degenerativas o crónicas, que ponen en riesgo su calidad de vida. El profesional de enfermería juega un papel importante ya que se encarga de abordar a su paciente y familia valorando su parte física, psicológica, social y espiritual, con habilidades como la comunicación asertiva. Cuando se vive una situación de crisis familiar, hay tendencia a que se bloquee la comunicación y surja situaciones como la conspiración del silencio. Este fenómeno se define como un pacto, implícito o explícito donde se manipula o niega la información clínica, a un paciente, con el fin de ocultar la gravedad de la enfermedad.

Published: December 2024

In today's dynamic landscape, organizations increasingly view organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as a pivotal element in achieving their corporate objectives seamlessly. Effective leadership plays a critical role in shaping an organization's capacity as a learning entity, fostering enhanced adaptability to change and elevating OCB levels. This study aims to explore the direct and indirect impacts of transformational leadership (TL) on OCB, with a specific focus on the mediating role of quality of work life (QWL). The research involved a sample of 200 respondents from diverse industries across Central Java, Indonesia. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, and the results were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings reveal a significant and positive direct relationship between TL, QWL, and OCB. Additionally, the study's unique contribution lies in demonstrating that QWL serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between TL and OCB. The analysis underscores the importance of adopting transformational leadership approaches and introducing initiatives that enhance work-life balance to effectively boost OCB within organizations.

The Indian automobile industry has experienced substantial growth, driven by rising domestic demand, urbanization, and technological advancements, positioning India as a significant global manufacturing hub. The industry has also embraced the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs), particularly in the two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments, spurred by government initiatives like the Faster Adoption of Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India (FAME) and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes. This study explores the risk-return dynamics of selected publicly listed Indian automobile companies, analyzing their equity performance between 2017 and 2023. By evaluating market, financial, operational, and regulatory risks, the research aims to offer insights into the investment potential of these companies. The study investigates how systematic and unsystematic risks influence investment decisions, with a focus on prominent companies such as Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Hindustan Motors, and Ashok Leyland. Using statistical tools like mean, standard deviation, variance, and beta, the analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the volatility, return potential, and overall risk profile of the companies. Results suggest a direct correlation between higher risk and higher returns, with Ashok Leyland emerging as a top performer, while Maruti Suzuki demonstrated more stable returns. The study also provides recommendations for investors, emphasizing the importance of diversification and long-term analysis. Despite its limitations, the research contributes valuable insights for investors looking to navigate the evolving Indian automobile sector.
The Dinosaur on your Doorstep: raising awareness of Hastings’ dinosaur heritage
Authors: Hadland Philip
Published: December 2024

Historic sites of palaeontological heritage are all too often off the radar of the local communities which reside alongside them. Local museums that hold related collections, along with curators with the remit to champion this heritage, can address deficits in local knowledge and improve relationships between museums and communities through outreach and working with community partners. The benefits of heritage outreach in communities include the generation of greater community spirit, a greater sense of place, and an ambition for communal spaces. The Royal Society’s Places of Science scheme funded a community outreach project to celebrate and raise awareness of the story of Hastings’ dinosaurs. Through outreach events over the summer of 2022, The Dinosaur on your Doorstep project engaged residents in Hollington with their local palaeontological heritage. The focus of the project was the creation of a permanent outdoor artwork telling the story of a locally found Cretaceous dinosaur named Iguanodon hollingtoniensis. The project also provided an opportunity to work with an under-engaged local community and the involvement of local charities and a social housing provider were key components. The project aimed to engage the community with their paleontological heritage, promote museum participation, and foster interest in geological sciences, while cultivating pride and ambition for communal spaces and local heritage.
Constrictional Flow and Strain Partitioning During Oblique Deformation: Insights From the Variscan Tanneron Massif, SE France

Published: December 2024

Structural analysis through precise digital mapping combined with microstructural and quantitative finite strain data were used to investigate strain partitioning and strain shape evolution during the late-stage oblique tectonic collapse of a hot orogen. The Tanneron Massif in SE France was structured in an oblique tectonic regime at the end of the Variscan orogeny, leading to the exhumation of lower to middle crustal migmatite terranes. Strain patterns show prominent stretching lineations associated with L>S tectonites and dextral strike-slip shear zones compatible with subsimple shear deformation. The overall kinematics, with pure shear sub-horizontal constrictional flow and sub-vertical simple shear-dominated transcurrent corridors, depict a transtensional regime. The progressive transtensional deformation event evolves through two successive intermediate phases. The first phase is characterised by dominant sub-horizontal flow of the ductile crust represented by gently dipping foliation and L>S tectonites associated with widespread sub-horizontal stretching lineations. The second involves plane strain flow associated with vertical foliation and S-L tectonites. Finite strain analysis confirms the monotony of the L>S and S-L tectonites and highlights a partly lithological control on the finite strain ellipsoid shape with meta-igneous units defining L>S fabrics while meta-sedimentary units depict S-L fabrics. Microstructural observations also constrain the temperature evolution of the progressive transtensional deformation. Sub-horizontal flow starts at supra-solidus conditions and progresses to sub-vertical shear down to greenschist facies solely in hydrated meta-sedimentary units. We propose a rheologically driven strain path partitioning during the progressive exhumation of this deep crust throughout a two-phase transtensional regime.
From Corporate Motives to the Impacts of Sports Sponsorship on Employees: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mlakar Marko , Čater Tomaž , Kaše Robert
Published: December 2024

This paper reviews the common motives and major
impacts of sports sponsorships undertaken by sponsoring
organisations. Following a systematic review of 72
relevant articles, seven key motives for engaging in
sports sponsorship were identified. Marketing, customer
retention, and brand equity emerged as the most frequently
studied, while the sponsorship of emerging sports
associations for brand promotion was the least examined.
Regarding impacts on employees, findings from 28 articles
indicated that high retention and brand identification were
the most researched topics, with no studies addressing
potential negative effects. The study contributes to the
existing literature by highlighting overlooked motives and
effects of sports sponsorships. We recommend that future
research focuses on the less-studied motives and investigates
potential negative impacts on employees within sponsoring
organisations.
“Out of Touch” vs. “Still Practicing”: How Child Life Specialists Perceive Supervisors’ Roles in Mitigating Workplace Stress and Burnout
Authors: Ginter Amanda , Cahlander Britt , Dumas Katie
Published: December 2024

Objective

Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLSs) have previously reported experiencing workplace stress and burnout. To date, no studies have focused on CCLSs’ perspectives on their relationships with their supervisors.

Method

Qualitative interviews were conducted with 19 currently and formerly practicing CCLSs about their relationships with their supervisors, how they communicate with their supervisors about workplace stress, and the roles they perceive their supervisions fulfilling with respect to workplace stress and burnout mitigation.

Results

Data analysis yielded four themes: 1) lack of support from supervisors, including establishing boundaries, 2) generational differences between supervisees and supervisors, 3) supervisors are also struggling, and 4) need for acknowledgment and advocacy from supervisors.

Conclusion

Participants described interpersonal and systemic frustrations, acknowledging that supervisors are also struggling. More research is needed on the perspectives of supervisors.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the D-dimer levels and platelet count in sickle cell anaemia patients and compare with those of the control subjects.

Materials and Methods: This study is a cross–sectional comparative study which enrolled 58 sickle cell anaemia patients (25 males and 33 females) in a stable state at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria, as well as 25 healthy controls (11 males and 24 females). Venous blood (4.5 mL) was collected from both the patient and control into a vial containing 0.5 ml of 3.2% trisodium citrate. D-dimer levels was analysed using ELISA method. Platelet counts were determined (from 5ml venous sample collected with EDTA) using haematology autoanalyzer.

Results: There was a significant rise in D-dimer levels in sickle cell patients, with mean values of 1771.86 ng/mL and 1986.00 ng/mL for males and females, respectively, in the steady state compared to the D-dimer levels of controls, with mean values of 199.24 and 322.21 ng/mL for males and females, respectively. Platelet count was significantly higher in SCA patients than in the control subjects. There is perfect correlation between D-dimer and platelet counts in both patients and control (r=1, n=57, P=0.000) and (r=1, n=30, P=0.000)

Conclusion: This study showed the hypercoagulable state and thrombotic risk associated with SCA. The strong correlation between D-dimer levels and platelet counts suggests a potential interplay between platelet activation and coagulation activation in SCA, warranting further investigation into therapeutic interventions targeting these pathways.

Objective: Biomass is a renewable, widely available, and economically viable energy source for use in anaerobic digestion processes to produce biogas and methane (CH₄). To harness this potential, various technologies have been improved to better reuse organic waste, such as those from the agroindustry, to generate renewable energy and also to contribute to minimizing the environmental risks caused by the improper disposal of these materials. The objective of this study was to define the best operational conditions for the production of biogas and CH₄ from the anaerobic co-digestion of bovine manure, cassava wastewater, and coffee husk.

Methods: All tests showed significant biogas production with at least 80% methane. The statistical tool of experimental design made it possible to identify an inversely proportional relationship between pH and temperature, within the conditions analyzed for these factors.

Results: Thus, it was defined that the combination of an initial pH above 9.5 and a temperature below 35 °C is capable of resulting in a biogas volume > 600 cm³ and CH₄ > 500 cm³. For example, the best experimental performance was obtained with an initial pH of 10.0 and a temperature of 30 °C, which resulted in 798.72 cm³ of biogas and 638.98 cm³ of CH₄ accumulated after 15 days of hydraulic retention time. These best experimental conditions enabled 58.53% removal of chemical oxygen demand and a final pH close to neutrality (6.3).

Conclusion: This represents good fermentation conditions for methanogenic bacteria and confirms the feasibility of using co-digestion of the three evaluated residues.

Determinants of access to electricity in Ghana: the role of petroleum products prices
Authors: Dorhetso Samuel
Published: December 2024

This study probes the intricate interplay between petroleum product prices and access to electricity in Ghana, alongside other critical determinants, including electricity prices, GDP per capita, rural population growth, and foreign direct investment. Spanning the years 2000 to 2022, the research employs robust correlation and regression analyses to uncover significant relationships among these socioeconomic variables. The findings reveal compelling evidence that prices of petroleum products have substantial effects on electricity access, primarily through their impact on operational costs, and that rising prices of diesel have more negative impacts than corresponding rising petrol prices. Also, increased GDP per capita and electricity prices positively affect improved electricity access, suggesting that economic growth and revenue generation are key to expanding access. However, the effects of rural population growth and foreign direct investments on electricity access were insignificant, although the constructs were statistically significantly correlated. The findings highlight the importance of stabilizing petroleum product prices and improving economic conditions to enhance electricity access. Additionally, prioritizing investments in rural electrification and infrastructure development is crucial to accommodate the growing rural population. This study fills a gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence on the determinants of electricity access in Ghana, with a novel focus on petroleum product prices. Aside from the theoretical implications of this research, its recommendations aim to inform policymakers and stakeholders in their efforts to achieve universal electricity access, aligned with the seventh Sustainable Development Goal.
Post-colonial Eco-criticism and Shades of Environmental Perceptions in the Conflict Spectrum
Authors: Onyechigoziri Chikere
Published: December 2024

Environmental perception is etched in ecological psychology and describes how individuals experience bonds that are predicated upon some high sense of reliance and confidence in a place. Although African scholars and critics have used environmentally-skewed approaches to examine their post-colonial experiences, the bulk of these engagements has revolved around the environmental impact of oil in African oil producing states as if the oil crisis is the only complicit factor in environmental despoliation on the continent. Incidentally, issues emanating from the conflict spectrum, like wars and violent uprisings, contribute significantly to the myriad of environmental challenges in Africa but have not received adequate engagement in the existing literature. Not many scholars have fore-grounded purposive environmental perspectives to war/conflict narratives. Few writers have considered the scope of related physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional dislocations to human-nature interactions manifesting as consequences of violence in conflict situations. Thus, this study adopts the qualitative analytical method and highlights the disruptive tendencies of conflict using Agbasimalo’s Roses and Bullets and Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun. Relying on the tenets of Huggan and Tiffin’ strand of Post-colonial Eco-criticism, the study depicts the extent to which the far-reaching ills of the conflict spectrum can, beyond the physical destruction of the biosphere, sever place attachment bonds, desecrate the spiritual essence of spaces, invalidate the emotional and psychological import of human-nature interactions and dislocate human-nature relations in irreversible ways. The study traces the dialectics of place attachment and displacement in eco-critical discourse.

The Interpretative Nature of Law and the Role of Language
Authors: Ravindra Patil
Published: December 2024

Language, being a tool of communication, was never studied in connection with the field of law in the past. Legal experts concentrated only on the law in their studies. However, law and language have been a point of focus in law schools in recent times. Interpretation has played a crucial role in court decisions. Naturally, it boils down to the linguistic nature of law. Even though some jurists believe that law is independent and objective in its nature, that is not true. Its very existence depends upon language, and language is deeply rooted in the socio-cultural fabric of the society. Therefore, language is essential to understand the true nature of law.

A neoplasia pancreática é uma patologia de alta incidência mundial e elevado risco de mortalidade. Tradicionalmente, possui a ressecção cirúrgica como método de primeira linha. Porém frente a situações complexas, principalmente em lesões irressecáveis, há necessidade de novas alternativas. A eletroporação irreversível apresenta-se como método opcional não ablativo com eficácia considerável, com ênfase a tumores localmente avançados. Essa revisão literária teve como objetivo compreender a funcionalidade do método, com análise de indicações e contraindicações e eficácia em tumores pancreáticos. O presente estudo trata-se de uma revisão literária por meio da coleta e análise de estudos que apresentam e demonstram a utilização da eletroporação irreversível em pacientes com câncer pancreático, por meio de uma abordagem teórico-descritiva das principais publicações. A eletroporação é um método com eficácia considerável principalmente quando comparado a ablação térmica pela ocorrência de menores complicações e incremente na sobrevida de pacientes. Sua utilização se demostrou-se superior quando associada a quimioterapia e uso de imunomoduladores. O câncer pancreático possui alta mortalidade, principalmente pela ocorrência de diagnósticos tardios, em fase metastática. A realização de estudos futuros é essencial para avaliação completa da eletroporação irreversível como método importante no tratamento, de modo a garantir melhoria na sobrevida e prognóstico do acometido.

O presente trabalho investiga como o estigma social associado ao suicídio impacta o processo de luto dos familiares enlutados, dificultando o processo de posvenção, qual seja, o apoio oferecido após a morte por suicídio. A pesquisa busca compreender de que forma esse estigma afeta a assistência psicológica e o suporte social direcionados aos familiares enlutados por mortes autoprovocadas. Para alcançar esse objetivo, a pesquisa utiliza uma metodologia qualitativa descritiva, baseada na pesquisa bibliográfica. Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura, buscando convergências e divergências entre artigos científicos, livros, teses e outras fontes de informação relevantes sobre o tema. A busca por trabalhos se deu nas plataformas Google Acadêmico, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e SciELO, utilizando termos como "Suicídio AND Posvenção" e "Suicídio AND Luto". Foram selecionados artigos publicados entre 2014 e 2024, excluindo aqueles que abordavam temas fora do escopo da pesquisa. A pesquisa concluiu que o estigma social do suicídio impacta negativamente a posvenção, dificultando o processo de luto dos familiares enlutados. A censura social em torno do tema leva ao silenciamento e isolamento dos enlutados, que muitas vezes sofrem em silêncio por medo de julgamento e preconceito. Essa censura social afeta também os profissionais da área da saúde mental, que podem evitar o tema ou terem dificuldades em oferecer suporte adequado aos enlutados. O trabalho destaca a importância de ampliar as discussões sobre suicídio e posvenção, buscando romper com o estigma e o tabu que cercam o tema. É fundamental oferecer suporte adequado aos familiares enlutados, reconhecendo a complexidade do luto por suicídio e a necessidade de acolhimento e compreensão. A pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de mais estudos e debates sobre o tema, a fim de garantir uma posvenção eficaz e humanizada aos enlutados por suicídio.

A evolução do trabalho no Brasil é marcada por mudanças nos meios de produção e demandas sociais, que, em tempos de desemprego, empurram muitos para a informalidade. Este artigo analisa o impacto da uberização no vínculo empregatício, com foco em doutrina, jurisprudência e novos rumos possíveis. A metodologia combina uma abordagem indutiva com pesquisas bibliográficas, dados estatísticos e análise de jurisprudência dos tribunais superiores sobre o vínculo empregatício. A uberização flexibiliza e desregulamenta relações de trabalho, trazendo desafios regulatórios e econômicos. Decisões judiciais revelam divergências sobre o vínculo entre motoristas e plataformas digitais, com julgados contraditórios. A decisão do Tema 1291 pode redefinir a legislação trabalhista quanto a novas modalidades de trabalho. Embora ofereça alternativas de renda, a uberização carrega o risco de precarização. Assim, é necessário um equilíbrio que proteja os direitos trabalhistas, promovendo, ao mesmo tempo, a inovação e o livre mercado.
