Compliance with Labour Laws in India on Gig Economy and Online Workplace
Authors: - Yash Mittal
Published: July 2023

This research is based on how, over the course of the last couple of decades, with the spread of technology and the internet, increased urbanization, and most recently, the Covid-19 epidemic, the discussion on "the future of work" has taken place. Since non-traditional work modes are the "future of work," we need to think about establishing legislative frameworks on this topic on a global scale. In this study work, certain important definitional and conceptual concerns emerging under the Labour Codes in relation to Work from Home are explored. These topics have been presented by gaining an understanding of the worldwide practices that are linked with working from home, one may be better able to judge the challenges that a future legislative framework in India may need to contend with. As a direct result of this, research talks about the ideas of "teleworking" and "flexible working arrangements." India's Rules Concerning the gig economy have also been explored in this article, along with the incorporation of norms with respect to employees in the unorganized sector and social security for gig workers. The question of who is a ‘gig worker’ and what is a ‘platform worker’ has been discussed with respect to the new code of wages and how the problem of definition continues to be an issue. As a last point of discussion on the fact that the code does not extend all the advantages of an employee to gig workers, such as gratuity and employee provident fund, the state-specific laws and welfare programs that were formerly established are now being discussed.
Potential Role of Metformin in Central Nervous System with a Focus on Its Mechanism of Actions
Authors: - Kangkana Bora , - Rajana James
Published: July 2023

Metformin is a common medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, which belongs to the biguanide chemical family (T2D). It's interesting that metformin's prescribed use as an anti-diabetic medicine can be expanded due to its therapeutic potential. In this regard, metformin treatment has been shown to have positive benefits on a variety of neurological diseases. In this article, we explore the metformin's positive effects as a neuroprotective agent in various neurological illnesses as well as the various suggested mechanisms of action to better understand how it works on a neurological level.
Recent research has demonstrated that metformin can pass the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and activate particular neurons and neuroglia to exert neurological effects; nevertheless, the precise way in which metformin regulates the central nervous system (CNS) is still unknown. In this review, we compiled the most recent data from preclinical studies that focused on the regulatory function of metformin in the central nervous system (CNS) and discovered that metformin can have potential neuroprotective, neurotrophic, and neurogenesis-stimulating effects. In addition, metformin also has an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing microglial activation and controlling microglial polarisation. These data suggest that the clinical use of metformin for neurological illnesses may have broad pharmacological efficacy and therapeutic insights.

A Comparative Study of National Laws Dealing with Terrorism in Broad and Narrow Senses, and their Implications for Civil Liberties, especially in the US and Pakistan
Authors: Usman Hameed  , Khushbakht Qaiser  , Zarfishan Qaiser
Published: July 2023

National strategies to combat terrorism differ from state to state relative to their capacity and general principles of the national justice system. For this reason, some states implement broad definitions of terrorism authorizing preventive action, even so no crime is committed. In contrast, there are states which adopt narrow definitions of terrorism to safeguard due process rights of the suspects. While this approach may be more humane, it undermines the ability of states to act in anticipation of a terrorist attack. Clearly, the emphasis of the former strategy is to preserve national security even at the cost of civil liberties. In reverse, the latter approach aims at preserving civil liberties despite the threat of terrorism. Recently, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has re-defined terrorism to narrow down its scope, making it applicable to those acts only which are motivated to coerce a government or intimidate a civilian population to advance a religious, sectarian and ethnic objective. In furtherance of the new interpretation, these courts will be trying only most serious cases, such as those involving attacks on state infrastructure or state personnel. Apart from these, all other acts will be deemed regular crimes for want of motive to commit terrorism. This article will elucidate whether states driven by national security concerns define the word terrorism broadly criminalizing even the preparatory acts, such as, making donation to the charitable arm of a designated entity. And which aspects regarding the above provides a narrow approach.
Keywords: terrorism, transnational laws, judicial system, crime, preventive action.

Obesity is a term used to describe body weight that is much greater than what is considered healthy. It has become a serious public health problem. It affects 32.2% of the population. The worldwide prevalence of obesity is 1.6 billion and is reached epidemic proportions mostly in high income groups. Changes in dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles are known to be associated with changes in health and increased prevalence of chronic diseases. During the past decades efficacious strategies have been developed for prevention of these changes. These strategies involve general lifestyle changes, which include healthy diet, optimal weight, physical activity, no alcohol consumption. In the management strategies available therapies having its own side effects and Unani medicine plays an important role in the management of obesity. Number of herbs is documented in Unani classics to reduce weight which includes Lac (Luke-e-Maghsool), Muqil (Commiphora Mukul), Kharkhask (Ghokru-Tribulus Terrestris), Haldi (Turmeric- Curcuma Longa) and Zeera siya (Black cumin- Cuminum sativum) etc. These herbs are the most common traditional Unani medicines used for weight loss, but there is a need to explore the efficacy of these drugs in a scientific manner. This paper gives information on herbs and its mechanism of action for weight reduction.

Published: July 2023

Many smallholder farmers in the developing world live in adverse poverty and rely on agriculture as their primary source of income and household food. In Zambia, agriculture production is the main activity for people in rural areas of the country. The study evaluated the effects of climate-smart practices, Gliricidia sepium Alley cropping, conservation agriculture basin, ripping, and conventional agriculture cropland on selected physicochemical properties of soil among smallholder farmers’ croplands in Nyimba district, Zambia. Cropland under conservation agriculture basin, ripping, agroforestry Gliricidia Alleyed cropping, and conventional agriculture cropland hosting the practices for more than five years were considered for soil sample collection. Thirty (30) composite soil samples were collected; Gliricidia alley cropping (n=6), conservation agriculture basin (n=6), ripping(n=6), conventional agriculture one (n=6) and conventional agriculture two (n=6) following a zig-zag pattern on soil surface depth of 0-30 cm. The collected composite soil samples were analysed from the University of Zambia Soil Science Laboratory. Soil laboratory results were analysed with Minitab Statistical Software version 17 for inferential statistics. Therefore, the study recorded significant effects (p< 0.05) of Gliricidia Alley cropping, conservation agriculture Ripping, and Basin on soil bulk density, porosity, power of hydrogen (pH), cation exchange capacity, available phosphorus, total nitrogen, exchangeable bases sodium, calcium, and potassium. Exchangeable base magnesium was recorded as insignificant across the considered practices off-course with minimal mean variations with conventional agriculture cropland. The study shows that implementing climate-smart agriculture practices has the potential to improve crop productivity per hectare through reclaiming and amending depleted soil physicochemical properties.
The Dynamics of Ethnic Conflicts and Problems of National Cohesion and Integration in Kenya 1963-2018
Authors: Nyamweno Benson , Chepchieng Mary C.
Published: July 2023

Kenya like many of the African states is a multiethnic nation. Conflict always arises as a result of the unequal distribution of national resources among ethnic communities. While ethnicity has featured prominently in most studies on Kenya, the majority of them have used ethnicity to explain conflicts and political trends in the country. Very few studies have, however, focused on the efforts to promote national cohesion and integration in Kenya. The study argued that the challenge of identity in Kenya had been exacerbated by failure in nation-building and the creation of a national identity. This paper seeks to unearth how ethnic conflict in Kenya has impeded national cohesion and integration. In order to adequately answer the above subject under the study, the researcher will be led by this objective; to find out the extent to which dynamics of ethnic conflict have impeded national cohesion and integration in Kenya from 1963 to 2007. In order to adequately answer this objective, the study adopted a qualitative approach by critically analysing the available literature on the subject matter to reach a logical conclusion. The paper found that since its independence in 1963, Ethnic conflicts have been perfected and formed patronage that has been to the detriment of Kenya’s nationhood. The paper concludes that unless there is political goodwill to reframe socioeconomic policies that would in turn lead to equitable distribution of national resources among all ethnic groups and tame human nature through instilling national ethos, the initiatives for national cohesion and integration will be in vain
The Nexus Between Weak Social Contracts and Citizen Quiescence in Kenya
Authors: Mutuku Richard Kyalo , Owuoche Solomon Otieno , Jonyo Fred Opiyo
Published: July 2023

Plunder and mismanagement of public resources is an intractable problem that emasculates public sector service delivery in Kenya. It undermines efforts by the national and county governments to deliver public goods and services. Unfortunately, as the plunder of public resources happens driven by a predatory elite, the citizens tend to remain passive, disinterested, and quiescent in demanding public accountability from their leaders. A social contract exists between citizens and their rulers. Social contractarian theorists such as Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Rawls, and John Locke construe social contracts as explicit or implicit agreements between the ruled and rulers, in which case, the governed cede some of their freedoms and liberties in exchange for protection and public goods by the rulers. Ostensibly, social contracts define the moral duties of citizens and the moral duties of rulers. However, a disequilibrium emerges when any party fails to fulfil its moral duties, causing the social contract to weaken. In retrospect, this study aimed to establish the nexus between citizen quiescence in holding leaders accountable and weak social contracts. The researchers conducted a mixed-method survey involving 100 respondents from Nairobi City County to determine the relationship between citizen quiescence and weak social contracts. The findings were R (98) = 0.764, p<0.05, R2 .579, indicating a positive correlation between weak social contracts and citizen quiescence (inaction) in demanding public accountability. Besides, the coefficient of determination R2 of 0.579 suggests that all factors held constant; weak social contracts could explain 57.9% of citizen quiescence or lethargy in Kenya at a 95% confidence level. Based on these results, it is plausible to conclude that there is a nexus between weak social contracts and citizen inaction (quiescence) in demanding public accountability. However, extensive research is necessary to establish other variables that could explain the variability using a large N sample.
An Empirical Analysis of Foreign Remittances, Education Index, and Human Development in Kenya
Authors: Musyimi Daniel Mutuku , Ng’ang’a Peter
Published: July 2023

Every government pursues high living standards, appropriate education, and better-quality general wellbeing of its citizens. It is feasible that an economy on the right course of attaining sustainable development goals could flourish in human richness. Kenya endeavours to advance the wellbeing of her people. There has been a rise in human development from 0.468 human development index in 1990 to 0.575 in 2021. This is a 22.86% increase. However, this is low compared to economies with high levels of human development. Kenya is classified at the medium level, below the standards stipulated by the United Nations Development Programme. This classification recommends economies have a high or very high human development index. Numerous studies in Kenya have focused on foreign remittances and education expenditure. This offers diminutive consideration to remittances and human development. This paper seeks to fill this gap by focusing on foreign remittances, education index and human development. This area has only received derisory attention even though foreign remittance has been one of the crucial financial foreign inflows in the country. The paper espouses a non-experimental research design to explain the effects of foreign remittances on human development by dint of education index conduit. The vector error correction model, a cointegrated vector autoregression model, is applied in this research to analyse data. This establishes a short-term relationship between foreign remittances and the education index while correcting the deviation from the long-term movement of these variables. Secondary time series data for the period 1990 to 2021 is used. Statistical analysis was conducted using E-views statistical package. This paper concludes that foreign remittances in Kenya have negative and significant effects on the education index in the short run. This indicates that a vast amount of remittances received in Kenya are not channelled to educational purposes. The long-run impact is statistically inconclusive.

ПРЕДОТВРАЩЕНИЕ СИРОТСТВА В РОССИИ: ПРОБЛЕМЫ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ XXI ВЕКА
Authors: Назарова Анна Сергеевна
Published: July 2023

Автор статьи указывает, что на современном этапе развития семейного законодательства в России существует две формы предотвращения сиротства: предупредительные и исключительные. К сожалению и та и другая формы не дают максимального результата, а именно сведения детей-сирот и детей оставшихся без попечения родителей к минимуму. Особое внимание обращается на исключительные меры предотвращения сиротства, которые применяются в том случае, если в силу определенных жизненных обстоятельств ребенок не может проживать с биологическими родителями. Предлагается, помещать таких детей, в среду приближенную к семейной, в случае невозможности усыновления. Автор предлагает активное внедрение института наставничества, детских деревень, гостевого режима и совершенствование в указанной области семейного законодательства.

The author of the article points out that at the present stage of development of family legislation in Russia there are two forms of prevention of orphanhood: preventive and exceptional. Unfortunately, both forms do not give the maximum result, namely, reducing orphans and children left without parental care to a minimum. Special attention is paid to the exceptional measures to prevent orphanhood, which are applied if, due to certain life circumstances, the child cannot live with his biological parents. It is proposed to place such children in an environment close to the family, in case of impossibility of adoption. The author suggests the active introduction of the institute of mentoring, children's villages, guest regime and improvement of family legislation in this area.
