Effect Of The Number Of Visitors Attraction At The Occupancy Hotel With Moderating Variables Of Rooms Are Available In Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta as a tourist city saves the potential of tourist visits which strongly supports the growth of the hospitality industry. With the potential of foreign and international tourist markets visiting existing tourist attractions, at least become a potential market niche in the hotel industry in the morning to increase occupancy hotels. Hotel expectations of tourist arrivals increase the optimism of hotel management that room occupancy rates will be met according to the planned budget. However, it needs to be measured how much the influence of foreign tourists and the archipelago on occupancy hotels,  so the hotel management is not wrong in its planning. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant direct influence from foreign tourists on room occupancy rates, while domestic tourists have a significant direct influence on room occupancy rates. With moderating variables the number of rooms available, hence there is an increase in indirect influence of foreign and domestic tourists on the occupancy rate of hotel rooms in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.
Arbitration Costs and Forum Accessibility: Empirical Evidence
Authors: Drahozal Christopher
Published: June 2024

In this Article, written for this symposium issue on "Empirical Studies of Mandatory Arbitration," I examine the available empirical evidence on these two questions. I take "mandatory arbitration" to refer to pre-dispute arbitration clauses in consumer and employment (and maybe franchise) contracts. Accordingly, I limit my consideration of the empirical evidence to those types of contracts. I do not discuss empirical studies of international arbitrations, which almost always arise out of agreements between commercial entities. Nor do I discuss empirical studies of court-annexed arbitrations, which may not derive from party agreement and do not ordinarily proceed to a binding award.
How Bad Are Mandatory Arbitration Terms?
Authors: Ben-Shahar Omri
Published: June 2024

This symposium was presented in the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Contracts Section of the American Association of Law Schools. Indeed, studying the unconscionability of arbitration terms has become a standard feature of first-year contracts courses. This is perhaps one of the hotter topics in today's contract law and policy. Contractual rights, as they are enforced by contract law, might have substantially different values depending on the venue through which they can be vindicated. It is hard to predict how these values differ, but hopefully this symposium will inform some of these predictions.
Eyes Wide Shut: How Ignorance of the Common Interest Doctrine Can Compromise Informed Consent
Authors: Schaffzin Katharine
Published: June 2024

This Article addresses the novel ethical problems presented by the common interest doctrine that implicate an attorney's duties of diligence, confidentiality, and loyalty to his or her client. These adverse effects of informal aggregation are not always fully considered before engaging a client in a common interest arrangement, but they should be. In Part II, this Article first explains the potential advantages that the common interest doctrine presents as an evidentiary tool, but then recognizes that exercise of the doctrine creates an undefined duty on the part of the attorney to the party with whom a client exchanges confidential information. Specifically, Part II.B warns that the common interest doctrine creates some duty-ethical or fiduciary-owed by an attorney to a third party. Part III.A explains the effect that this undefined obligation to other members of the common interest agreement may have on an attorney's ability to provide her original client with the representational rights to which he is entitled. In Part III.B, the Article further explains that the relationship created between an attorney and the other members of the common interest group may so interfere with the attorney's ability to represent her client as to require her to withdraw as counsel to the original client. Finally, Part IV of this Article proposes that a broader discussion of the risks of the common interest doctrine, as well as an individualized cost-benefit analysis, would serve to adequately inform a client of the risks associated with the common interest doctrine.
Lawyer as Emotional Laborer
Authors: Yakren Sofia
Published: June 2024

Prevailing norms of legal practice teach lawyers to detach their independent moral judgments from their professional performance-to advocate zealously for their clients while remaining morally unaccountable agents of those clients' causes. Although these norms have been subjected to prominent critiques by legal ethicists, this Article analyzes them instead through the lens of "emotional labor," a sociological theory positing that workers required to induce or suppress feeling in order to sustain the outward countenance mandated by organizational rules face substantial psychological risks. By subordinating their personal feelings and values to displays of zealous advocacy on behalf of others, lawyers, too, may face acute psychological distress and professional dissatisfaction; ironically, legal practice norms may place the heftiest psychological burden on those lawyers most oriented toward justice. This Article explores several potential antidotes to the deleterious effects of emotional labor on legal practitioners, including: (1) deep acting, or the process by which a person attempts to experience the emotions that she is expected to display (effectively, the antithesis of detachment); (2) self-selection into (or out of) the legal profession based on certain personality traits, or self-selection into certain work environments based on one's personal values; and (3) a shift in the standard conception of the lawyer's role toward greater moral autonomy for lawyers. Empirical researchers are called upon to generate data suggesting how best to alleviate lawyers' emotional labor without entirely eliminating the potential usefulness of emotional labor as a check on unethical conduct in legal practice.

Authors: Gortsos Christos V.
Published: June 2024

This study, completed in April 2024, aims at comprehensively presenting and thoroughly analysing the legal framework governing the definition and implementation of the single monetary policy in the euro area during the first twenty-five years of the Eurosystem’s operation. In this historical context, the focus is on the legal aspects pertaining to the definition and implementation of this single monetary policy since the establishment of the Eurosystem on 1 January 1999 amidst, and in response to, several financial and non-financial crises which erupted in the course of that period (and in particular since 2007, which marked the onset of the Global Financial Crisis). The ultimate goal is to highlight the significant contribution and the importance of the legal framework in shaping the single monetary policy of the Eurosystem, in normal times and at times of stress. The study is structured in two key chapters entitled “The Single Monetary Policy in the Euro Area: Definition and Legal Framework” and “Implementation of the Single Monetary Policy in the Euro Area in Periods of Crises”. The Epilogue (Chapter 3), entitled “Considerations on the Impact of Monetary Policy Decisions on Financial Stability in the Euro Area” discusses the interaction between monetary policy and financial stability, as well as the latest (until April 2024) financial stability conditions in the euro area through the lens of international and EU official reports, taking also into account the (spring 2023) banking turmoil.
Cognition and cultural mediation: The influence of semantic priming on the perception of a painting

Published: June 2024

The information about artworks presented in artistic exhibitions serves a crucial function of cultural mediation. Texts offered to the public in an exhibition can induce the perception and interpretation of an artwork. This research aimed to verify the extent to which the presentation of a text can influence the perception of visual artwork. We hypothesized that the semantic priming provided by a text can induce the participants’ interpretation of an artwork. Sixty undergraduate pedagogy students participated in the study, randomly divided into three groups with each containing 20 individuals. In this research, participants were instructed to observe an image of a painting and subsequently marked the figurative elements they could identify. Before that, the first group received the correct textual information before observing the painting; the second group received a fictitious text unrelated to the painting’s theme; and the third group performed the task without receiving any information. We found that there was a significant difference between the recurrences of original and fictitious words and between the original and random words. Therefore, this study brought greater clarity regarding the effects of semantic priming on the perception of artworks.

Published: June 2024

Citizenship education holds paramount importance in Spain’s primary education curriculum, aiming to prepare students with the skills needed to become discerning and responsible citizens in an age dominated by widespread misinformation and unreliable content. Navigating through the vast landscape of online information and identifying valuable didactic materials represent significant challenges for teachers. This article presents animated-based learning (ABL) as a didactic resource to foster civic values in elementary education. The first objective of this article is to explore the potential of this didactic resource and assess its suitability to promote civic values in primary schools. In the context of a world, where mistrusting information on social media is prevalent, the second objective of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of this didactic tool in cultivating critical thinking skills from the perspective of aspiring educators and university students themselves. The study involved a sample of 89 Spanish 3rd-year primary education degree students, of whom 92.8% were women aged between 22 and 30 years old. The instrument utilized to collect data was an online survey conducted through SurveyMonkey. The analysis of data using SPSS software, version 27, reveals that this didactic tool enhances their critical thinking skills. Similarly, they recognize the potential of animated short content to instill human and civic values in children in primary education. The findings also display a positive impact of ABL on training future teachers, underscoring the importance of incorporating innovative methodologies into teacher training programs and acknowledging the pivotal role of visual tools and digital resources in guiding the development of future citizens.

Authors: V. Sokolik Victoria , V. Bokatueva Victoria , M. Mishchenko Vladyslav
Published: June 2024

Neurological manifestations after COVID-19 infections can be attributed to chronic immune and inflammatory reactions induced by SARS-CoV-2, as well as endothelial dysfunction and other vascular issues. This study included 24 patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) who had contracted COVID-19 1 – 1.5 years before the examination (experimental group) and 20 patients with CVD who had not previously been infected with the coronavirus (comparison group). Both groups were representative in terms of age and gender. Blood serum biomarkers, including interleukin (IL)-6, endothelin-1 (ET-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), were tested before and after a 14-day standard complex therapy in the hospital at our institute using appropriate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reagent kits. Increases in the levels of IL-6 (by 20%), ET-1 (by 200%), and VEGF-A (by 100%) were observed in patients with CVD who had contracted COVID-19 1 – 1.5 years earlier compared to the comparison group. The effectiveness of a 2-week therapeutic intervention in patients with a history of COVID-19 was found only for VEGF-A: its serum level decreased twofold, leading to the normalization of this indicator. The concentrations of IL-6 and ET-1 were not affected by the treatment. In addition, the serum levels of ET-1 and VEGF-A in unvaccinated individuals exceeded those in vaccinated patients.
Optimizing conventional radiotherapy: A synergistic approach with generative artificial intelligence and computational sustainability
Authors: Melo e Castro João , Neves José
Published: June 2024

Conventional radiotherapy (CR) stands at a critical juncture, poised for transformation through the integration of cutting-edge technologies. This article explores the transformative potential of integrating generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and computational sustainability (CS) principles into CR. The convergence of GAI techniques, such as generative adversarial networks, with CS offers novel approaches for optimizing treatment planning, enhancing precision, and ensuring long-term sustainability in radiotherapy practices. We delve deeper into the personalized medicine strategy facilitated by generative models, taking into account patient-specific anatomical variations and dose optimization. The article highlights the role of GAI in adaptive radiotherapy, enabling real-time adjustments to treatment plans based on dynamic changes in patient anatomy. CS principles contribute to resource optimization and energy efficiency, addressing the environmental impact of CR practices. The synergy between GAI and CS fosters innovations in treatment techniques, data-driven decision-making, and ethical considerations, promoting equitable access and minimizing disparities. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the potential benefits and challenges associated with the integration of GAI and CS in CR, shaping the future of precision, efficiency, and sustainable radiotherapy practices.
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis masquerading as multifocal bone Langerhans cell histiocytosis in children: A case series from a tertiary cancer center
Authors: Krishnan Yamini , Sainulabdin Gazel , Krishnan V. P. , Thanseer N. T. K.
Published: June 2024

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), also known as chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), is an autoimmune inflammatory bone disorder mainly affecting children and adolescents. The clinical presentation varies from mild, self-limiting unifocal bone inflammation, which is more common, to multifocal recurrent disease. CRMO can be misdiagnosed as multifocal bone Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), infections, lymphoma, or metabolic bone disease. Clinical features are highly variable and not very specific. Most children experience vague aches and pains over prolonged periods but remain generally well and do not exhibit growth failure. In this article, we describe a case series of three children who presented with multifocal bone disease and were initially referred for LCH; however, detailed investigations confirmed the diagnosis of CRMO. The treatment options included non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Other treatment options included anti-tumor necrosis factor agents and bisphosphonates, similar to those used for autoimmune bone diseases. CRMO should be considered a differential diagnosis in children presenting with chronic, vague, and recurrent bony symptoms with or without systemic symptoms.

Agri-startups in India are pivotal drivers of innovation and entrepreneurship, addressing critical challenges related to food security, rural livelihoods, and environmental sustainability. These startups leverage advanced technologies, data analytics, and precision farming techniques to enhance agricultural productivity and reduce post-harvest losses, contributing significantly to achieving Sustainable Development Goals. Government initiatives such as the “Innovation and Agri-Entrepreneurship Development” program, coupled with strategic collaborations with foreign entities, have provided substantial momentum to the agri-startup ecosystem in India. Through this concerted effort, various stakeholders, including Knowledge Partners and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana—Agribusiness Incubators, are actively nurturing and scaling innovative agricultural projects. Regions like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh have emerged as hotspots for agri-startup activity, benefiting from conducive policy environments and robust agricultural infrastructure. The landscape of agri-tech investments in India has seen of significant growth, with a notable surge in 2021, reaching $1.18 billion across 66 transactions. Despite a more cautious approach from investors in 2022, the number of transactions increased, indicating sustained interest. The agri-tech sector demonstrates maturity, with a steady investment pipeline and a notable increase in deals surpassing the $5 million threshold. Agri-startups empower smallholder farmers, contributing to SDGs related to food security, poverty alleviation, and environmental sustainability, fostering innovation and sustainability in the agricultural sector. Agri-startups encounter several challenges, viz., limited access to capital, regulatory complexities, and technological limitations, hindering their growth. Pricing issues, market penetration constraints, and investor apathy further impede scalability. Despite these challenges, agri-startups promote environmental sustainability through practices like organic farming and water conservation. Collaborative research, training programs, and alignment with global sustainability trends empower farmers and position agri-startups to capitalize on emerging opportunities in sustainable agriculture markets worldwide.

Authors: Anastácio Kimberly
Published: June 2024

This article analyzes 62 bills introduced in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies between 2019–2022 to understand how legislators frame disinformation into different problems and their respective solutions. The timeframe coincides with the administration of right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro. The study shows a tendency from legislators of parties opposed to Bolsonaro to attempt to criminalize the creation and spread of health-related and government-led disinformation. This trend is explained by the Brazilian polarized democracy in a moment of crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic.
THE WAY TO JUSTICE RESTORATION IN COUNTERACTION TO THE CRIME OF AGGRESSION
Authors: Shepitko M.
Published: June 2024

Abstract. The article is devoted to the search for the way to justice restoration in counteraction to the crime of aggression. In this context, international approaches to the definition of the crime of aggression in Ukraine, the crime of aggression in the Ukrainian legislation on criminal responsibility and the prosecution of crimes of aggression under national jurisdiction through case law study were investigated. This approach made it possible to consider the crime of aggression through the prism of international legal acts adopted by the League of Nations, the UN, the activities of international courts and tribunals, which contributed to the condemnation of the crime of aggression. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court became an important international legal act in condemning the crime of aggression. It was paid attention to the long-term Russian aggression against Ukraine with the correlation among the activities of international organizations, the international definition of the crime of aggression, the current national legislation and the activities of criminal justice bodies in Ukraine. At the same time, the methods of analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, formal-legal, comparative-legal, historical-legal and other methods were applied, which in their combination made it possible to carry out a comprehensive study. The scientific novelty of the work consists in substantiating the possibility of bringing to criminal responsibility for certain manifestations of the crime of aggression not only in international institutions, but also in Ukraine. In addition, an important result of the study was the conclusion regarding the possibility of criminal liability within the jurisdiction of Ukraine not only of political leaders, but also of persons who played a special role in planning, preparing, unleashing or waging an aggressive war. At the same time, it is a prerogative to condemn political leaders within the limits of international jurisdiction. Study of Ukrainian judicial practice regarding registered criminal offenses under Art. 437 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine indicates that its development continues. In 2015–2017, five verdicts were found for six criminals who were not political leaders. In the future, certain limits of the application of Art. 437 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Coordination of the efforts of international and national criminal justice bodies regarding the prosecution of Russian political leaders for committing the crime of aggression also remains a promising direction.

The Implementation of Depok Single Window Application Services to Fulfill Citizens’ Rights to Information
Authors: Adhitra Reisya Zahra , Ridwan Ridwan
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the implementation of the Depok Single Window (DSW) by the Depok City Government, aimed at providing city information services through a single application, viewed from the perspective of the public's right to information. Although DSW has the potential to fulfill this right, challenges in public awareness, adoption, and user experience complaints indicate that its implementation has not fully met expectations. This research evaluates DSW's success, considering aspects of communication, human resources, infrastructure, budget, bureaucratic structure, and implementation attitudes. A qualitative approach with descriptive analysis and case studies, involving in-depth interviews, observations, and literature reviews, was used. The results indicate several shortcomings, including significant deficiencies in communication and promotional strategies leading to low public awareness about DSW, a lack of budget for promotion and marketing hindering public adoption and engagement, and technical issues within the application, such as user interface challenges and system downtimes, limiting its effectiveness and user satisfaction. Despite these challenges, the study finds that policy implementers demonstrate strong support for DSW, showing commitment to its success and making efforts to address technical issues and improve user experience. However, to fully meet the public's right to information, the Depok City Government needs to enhance communication and promotional efforts, increase the budget for these activities, and make continuous technical improvements to ensure the application is reliable and user-friendly. Addressing these issues promptly will enable DSW to better fulfill its purpose.
