Authors: Panchenko Olha
Published: March 2024

Compensation for moral damage is one of the rights guaranteed by the Basic Law of Ukraine; reimbursement of this type of harm is one of the ways to protect labor rights as well. One of the main problems at the moment is the absence of the enshrined concept of moral damage in the Constitution and the Civil Code of Ukraine (this institution is of a civil law nature). Consequently, the aim of the Article is to consider how foreign and domestic scientists approach the term “moral damage” in general and in labor relations in particular and to provide our own definition of this category. The following methods were used when preparing the Article: dialectical, monographic, historical, normative and dogmatic, sociological, legal modeling. Research results. The origin of the term “moral damage” in the world practice and in our country has been investigated. It has been examined, what is moral damage in Ukrainian legislation, as well as in the legal instruments of some other States (Italy, Philippines, El Salvador, Kazakhstan, UAE). The approaches to the concept of moral damage in general and in labor relations in particular have been studied based on the works of foreign and Ukrainian researchers, relevant legal acts of our and other countries, court practice. It has been established that there are three approaches to defining the term of moral (non-property) damage caused to an individual in the theory of civil law. We agree with the opinion by researchers who believe that the fact of establishing moral, mental or physical suffering is not enough – it is necessary to have losses of non-pecuniary nature or negative consequences of a moral or other character. The author’s definition of moral damage as well as moral damage caused to the employee as a result of violation of his (her) labor rights has been proposed.

Published: March 2024

After Ukraine gained independence, political, economic, social, organizational, legal and other changes began to take place in the Ukrainian state, which affected all spheres of socially useful life. The activity of the prosecutor’s office, which inherited the basic principles of its activity from the prosecutor’s office of the former Soviet Union, could not avoid such changes. Adoption in 1990 of the Declaration on the State Sovereignty of Ukraine and introduction of the Law of October 24, 1990 No. 404-XII of amendments and additions to Chapter 19 «Prosecutorship» of the Constitution (Basic Law) of the Ukrainian SSR, the formation of a new independent prosecutor’s office of the Ukrainian state was initiated, in Art. 162 of which it was declared that higher supervision over the observance and correct application of laws by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, ministries, state committees, departments, other bodies of state and economic management and control, the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, local Councils of People’s Deputies, their executive and administrative bodies, military units, political parties, public organizations, mass movements, enterprises, institutions and organizations, regardless of the forms of ownership, subordination and affiliation, officials and citizens is carried out by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine and prosecutors subordinate to him. At the same time, the activities of the prosecutor’s office and their officials did not always receive a favorable assessment of their activity from the citizens, which prompted the state leadership through the reorganization of the prosecutor’s office to make permanent changes that would bring the activity of the prosecutor’s office closer to the best international standards in consistently ensuring the rights and freedoms of man and citizen. interests of society and the state. Attention is drawn to the fact that after 2014, as well as the full-scale invasion of Russian military aggression against Ukraine, the functions of the prosecutor’s office underwent significant changes, which requires theoretical research, due to the fact that the reform of the activities of the prosecutor’s office continues even in today’s conditions.

Authors: Demianchenko Anastasiia
Published: March 2024

The aim of the work is to demonstrate the historical progression of access to civil service across different historical epochs – Ancient World, Middle Ages, New Era, and Modern Times. The developmental phases of equal access to civil service mirror the primary trends in shaping the relationship between individuals and the state. The article demonstrates the peculiarities of legal guarantees, which are closely intertwined with the complex global political, economic, social, and cultural transformations of humanity, giving scholars the space to go far beyond modern history. Employing a theoretical research model focused on a human-centered perspective, it scrutinizes the essence of legal assurances. The historical method is employed to comprehend the retrospective formation and progression of the civil service. Additionally, the axiological method forms the basis for considering equal access to the civil service as a value category.

Results of the research highlight that the legal guarantees of the right to equal access to the civil service have evolved over time, dating back to the Ancient World. This evolution is attributed to the formation of the civil service institution. The legal guarantees for equal access to the civil service are not only recognized at the national level but are also enshrined in international legal standards aimed at protecting human and civil rights. The study acknowledges that restrictions on the right to equal access during periods of special legal regimes can limit citizens’ political opportunities for contributing to good governance.

Authors: Abbas Muhammad Rahat , Ullah Barkat
Published: March 2024

Banks exist to make a profit so that they can continue to operate, grow, and expand. Bank stability has been challenged over the previous two decades as a result of political intervention, nonperforming loans (NPLs), and interest rate changes. They need to monitor these micro and macro-level factors to identify and manage risk. Thus, the current study explores the impact of credit risk (NPL, Z-Score) and liquidity risk (LR) on the performance of South Asian banks measured with ROA and ROE. The sample of the study comprised a total of 35 listed banks of South Asian Countries (Pakistan (20) and India (15)) and the sample period spans 10 years from 2011 to 2020. The information was obtained from data stream and the financial statements of selected banks listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The findings show that credit and liquidity risk has a major impact on the performance of South Asian banks. Overall, credit risk has a negative impact on bank performance. However, the Z-score value in the estimation derived with ROE, on the other hand, demonstrates a positive connection with bank performance. The current study’s findings suggest that bank management in developing countries should provide timely monitoring and supervision of their long-term borrowers to control credit risk.

Published: March 2024

Fairclough (1994) claims that language is not only a tool of communication but also constructs social interactions and meaning in specific contexts. Advertisement is one of the most effective and influential genre in non-literary texts which informs, persuades and impacts its audience in a limited time frame. Impact can be equally positive or negative on the target audience but it is more dependent on the ideological representation through signs and symbols portrayed in it. In the present study, two Pakistani advertisements have been analyzed through Fairclough’s (1994) 3-Dimensional Approach, which suggests that a text along with its embedded ideology is constructed to create its own social domain. The findings exposed that adverts are the main source to bring cultural change and ideological shift about a woman in society. Fashion Trends are adopted and eradicated as suggested in ads so it acts like an opinion-maker and compliment to shape the physical appearance of a woman apart of what society believes in her on regional and religious grounds. The conclusion suggests that the government and related bodies must have a check on ill-considerations to produce such content which may cultivate some unethical norms in the society. Also, unlike men, women are negatively portrayed and objectified in multiple ways in media campaigns.

Published: March 2024

Os órgãos mundiais dedicados à educação desempenham um papel crucial no desenvolvimento educacional global, especialmente em países subdesenvolvidos, com o pretenso objetivo de melhorar o acesso, a qualidade e a equidade. Porém, muitas vezes as recomendações dessas organizações, como é o caso do Fundo Monetário Internacional e Banco Mundial, refletem interesses dos países-membros, principalmente no sentido da manutenção das relações sociais capitalistas e do status quo econômico. As recomendações desses órgãos internacionais comumente focam em uma educação unilateral, voltada para o trabalho, com ênfase no ensino técnico e na formação de mão de obra especializada para impulsionar a industrialização, logo não promove o desenvolvimento integral dos indivíduos. Uma alternativa a essa realidade é a formação omnilateral, que busca formar cidadãos completos com competências em múltiplas áreas do conhecimento, preparando-os para serem mais do que meros trabalhadores, mas também cidadãos responsáveis e participativos. Diante do exposto, a presente pesquisa discute a intersecção entre as recomendações de órgãos mundiais, a formação voltada para o trabalho, a formação omnilateral e as políticas educacionais implementadas no Brasil. A pesquisa é qualitativa e se utiliza das ferramentas de revisão bibliográfica e análise documental. Os principais achados apontam que no Brasil muitas das recomendações externas para intervir na educação foram em algum momento acatadas, contudo persistem iniciativas antagônicas a essas sendo desenvolvidas, como é o caso da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica com o ensino omnilateral. Esta pesquisa contribui para agenda que debate, de forma crítica, a política de educação no Brasil.

Prinsip akuntabilitas dalam tata kelola pemerintahan adalah prinsip yang menjamin bahwa pemerintah bertanggungjawab atas serangkaian program yang berada di bawahnya. Terlaksananya prinsip akuntabilitas dapat meningkatkan kepercayaan publik terhadap pemerintah. Akuntabilitas keuangan pemerintah  merupakan ke­wajiban melaporkan dan mempertanggung­jawabkan keuangan daerah secara vertikal kepa­da pemerintah kabupaten/kota dan secara horizontal kepada masyarakat atas peren­canaan, pelaksanaan, dan penatausahaan secara berkala. Kebutuhan mendesak dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan aparatur pemerintah daerah adalah penatausahaan keuangan daerah karena kenyataannya aparatur pemerintah daerah masih banyak yang kurang paham tentang penatausahaan dan pendokumentasian keuangan  yang baik dan benar.  Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah memberikan pengetahuan dan pelatihan penatausahaan keuangan daerah yang akuntabel di tingkat kelurahan.  Metode yang digunakan dalam pelaksanaan PKM terdiri dari tiga macam yaitu: (a) Penyululan, (b) focus group discusion (FGD) antara peserta, pihak aparatur Kelurahan, dan tim pengabdi; (c) inventarisasi bukti transaksi sesuai dengan kegiatan yang dilaksanakan pemerintah kelurahan pada tahun anggaran berjalan. Hasil PKM menunjukkan bahwa aparatur kelurahan belum maksimal memahami tentang penatausahaan keuangan daerah terkait dengan dana kelurahan diperuntukkan untuk mendorong partisipasi masyarakat untuk  kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat di kelurahan, dimana prosesnya diputuskan pada Musyawarah perencanaan pembangunan (musrenbang).

Applying Value-at-Risk on A Portfolio Investment in The Cambodia Securities Exchange
Authors: Lim Siphat
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT Value-at-Risk (VaR) is a very famous and popular model which has been widely used to measure the potential exposure of the value of loss of an underlying asset or an investment portfolio at a certain confidence level and holding period. The main objective of this paper is the implement all of the three approaches applicable to estimate VaR namely non-parametric, parametric, and Monte-Carlo simulation VaR on the synthetic investment portfolio which consists of HKL’s bond and five stocks listing and trading in CSX besides the securities the portfolio also includes the FX and commodity, such as, gold and crude oil. At the position date the initial market value of this portfolio is KHR 591,514,539. With the confidence level of 95% and the holding period of 1 day VaR is KHR 6,198,453, KHR 5,523,467 and KHR 5,354,189 estimated by the non-parametric, parametric and Monte-Carlo simulation respectively. This research also indicates that the non-parametric VaR is very simple to implement; therefore, this approach is highly recommended for the investors who intention is the estimate the risk exposure of the value of the assets or portfolio. On the other, the parametric and Monte-Carlo simulation approaches, which is perceivably more difficult than the non-parametric, are highly recommended for the study which intention is to seek high accuracy. Keywords: VaR, CSX, Monte-Carlo Simulation, investment portfolio.

Published: March 2024

Pertumbuhan jumlah penduduk di kota Pekanbaru yang semakin lama semakin meningkat membuat penduduk memerlukan tempat tinggal yang menyebabkan perubahan tata guna lahan dari lahan terbuka menjadi lahan tertutup atau pemukiman. Lahan tertutup akan mengakibatkan air hujan yang turun tidak dapat mengalir secara optimal dan dapat mengakibatkan limpasan.. Pembangunan berkelanjutan merupakan sebuah solusi untuk mengatasi lingkungan yang kurang baik, dimana prinsip pembangunan berkelanjutan ini dapat diterapkan salah satu programnya ialah green building. Green building menjadi urgensi khususnya dalam menerapkan manajemen limpasan air hujan berupa teknologi sumur resapan. Salah satu kawasan yang mengalami limpasan permukaan atau banjir pada saat musim hujan adalah Perumahan Hang Tuah Cipta Residence yang terletak di Kelurahan Kulim, Kecamatan Tenayan Raya Kota Pekanbaru. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan perhitungan debit resapan berbagai kondisi menurut Suripin, 2004 dan didukung oleh data curah hujan, data permeabilitas, data muka air tanah, data tipe rumah dan data dimensi sumur resapan. Dari hasil analisis didapat besarnya debit yang keluar dari semua rumah sebelum menggunakan sumur resapan adalah 1,635 m³/dt. Setelah direncanakan sumur resapan dengan Jari-Jari 0.5 m dan kedalaman 9 m didapat kondisi sumur (b) memiliki efektivitas terbesar dalam mereduksi limpasan yaitu sebesar 87,321% dengan debit sisa setelah menggunakan sumur resapan sebesar 0,207 m³/dt, sesuai dengan aturan dalam greenship existing building versi 1.1 untuk menerapkan prinsip green building pada Kawasan pemukiman Hang Tuah Cipta Residence
