From Apparent Unity to Diversity: Penal Policies of (Former) Yugoslav Republics
Authors: Hacin Rok , Meško Gorazd , Aebi Marcelo F. , Flander Benjamin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive study of penal policies of (former) Yugoslav countries in the last 70 years. The Yugoslavian penal policy has been unique in the sense of leniency but was by no means uniform in its implementation. A comparative analysis of the development of penal policy in the observed states, supported by statistical data on crime, conviction and prison populations, revealed that differences have been profound. While disparities between states in the socialist era were predominately seen in the crime characteristics, number and type of convictions, and the length of prison sentences, today, former Yugoslav republics are diverse as they can be, ranging from the penal moderation of Slovenia to harsh penal policies in Serbia and Montenegro. Based on the findings, it can be argued that the influence of regional diversity, based on historical and cultural identity, should be acknowledged in studying penal policy.
Silent Epistemologies
Authors: Hanna Amy 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article presents a conceptualisation of children’s participation rights based on Miranda Fricker’s epistemic injustice. Drawing on research conducted in a secondary school in the UK, the article applies Fricker’s framework, in particular her concepts of testimonial and hermeneutical injustice, to explain some of the reasons for adults’ disquiet around children’s participation rights. Fricker’s concept of testimonial injustice explains how prejudice about a social group results in deflated attributions of credibility to their views and opinions. Hermeneutical injustice occurs when a social group struggles to make sense of their social experiences because of insufficient interpretive resources in the collective social imagination. By applying these concepts to children, I highlight the role of silence in conceptualising children’s right to be heard and to freedom of expression. I present a conceptual framework of participation, informed by epistemic injustice and based on empirical research, in order to bolster children’s participation rights.
International Organizations and World Making Practices: Some Notes on Method
Authors: Mansouri Negar 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In 2013, the International Law Commission (ilc) embarked on a codification project on identification of customary international law, including the role that international organizations (ios) might play in the formation of customary norms. Parallel discussions in the international law academy surrounding the role of ios reflected similar disciplinary anxieties as older debates on ios and law making. In this piece, I argue that the path to understanding ios’ governance passes neither doctrines of ios’ powers nor restrictive categories such as law making. A shift to ‘worldmaking practices’ and alternative approaches can help us diversify our subjects of enquiry and the ways in which we understand the ‘institutional’ dimension of international law. Here, I specifically focus on International Relations constructivism, Foucauldian ‘governmentality’, and critical political economy approaches. I then conclude with a discussion of international institutional law, interdisciplinarity and critique.
Il καιρός medico e il καιρός del dialogo
Authors: Marino Silvio 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article aims to clarify the medical notion of καιρός as it is employed by Plato in the Phaedrus and to show the specificity of Plato’s use of medical analogy. The analysis compares the uses of καιρός in Phaedrus 268a–c and in Protagoras 313a–314b with the definition of καιρός given in De locis in homine 44.
Is There Indeed a Coptic 2 Enoch?
Authors: Navtanovich Liudmila 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In 2009, Joost Hagen made a remarkable discovery: he attributed four Coptic fragments from material excavated at Qasr Ibrim to 2 Enoch, since then most scholars no longer refer to this pseudepigraphon as “Slavonic Enoch”. Nevertheless, some works have appeared that question the authenticity of this attribution, the article deals with the problem and provides arguments in favour of Hagen’s identification of the fragments.
Harmony as a Model for the Human Soul?
Authors: Melichar Hannes Gustav 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Ancient philosophy has been a source of inspiration for contemporary philosophy in recent decades. An outstanding example is the renaissance of hylomorphism in the field of philosophy of biology. For the philosophy of mind, hylomorphism has been little discussed so far. Therefore, ancient models in the philosophy of mind are still of interest. This article argues that Plato’s Phaedo can act as a source for contemporary debates. As a starting point, Simmias’s objections to the immortality of the soul are analyzed. Plato does not simply reject these objections, but introduces conditions for a hylomorphistic understanding of the soul in Socrates’ reply. These conditions are the following: (A) the mind supervenes on the body; (B) this supervenience must allow the strong emergence of the mind; (C) the mind comprises causal powers; (D) teleological explanations are a necessary ingredient of a suitable model for the mind-body problem. With these conditions, Plato already introduces central components that are present in contemporary philosophical debates, but have not yet been unified into a hylomorphistic concept in the philosophy of mind. The present article proposes this unification.
The Joker in Iraq’s Tishreen [October] Protests
Authors: Mustafa Balsam 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article explores how the cultural symbol of the Joker, from the 2019 American movie Joker, first unfolded during the 2019 Iraqi Tishreen [October] Revolution as radical-gradual creative imagery both shocking and contested among Iraqi activists. Considering the visuals as modes, I argue that they first emerged as antenarrative, open to multiple interpretations. The antenarrative quickly transformed into a derogatory label perpetuating a dehumanizing anti-protest narrative by dominant powers and their militias. ‘Axis of Resistance’ media channels in Iraq and Iran have transformed the Joker label into a weapon, framing the protest movement as a narrative of grand conspiracy with the West and consequently justifying the violent crackdown by security forces. Iraqi activists then reclaimed the label in an attempt to defy that narrative. The linguistic reclamation could not erase the parties’ narrative. Instead, the two narratives have continued to compete, triggering another set of polarized labels.
The Persian Literary Tradition in Ottoman Bosnia and Its Environs
Authors: Gačanin Sabaheta 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Numerous Bosnian intellectuals during the centuries of Ottoman rule were authors of works in the Persian language. Mostly, they produced poems and divāns (poetic anthologies) under the strong influence of the Persian literary canon. After a brief and introductory overview of the Persian literary canon, its origins, and its presence in the Ottoman realms, this article presents selections of verses (mostly translated into English for the first time) of selected poets, while contextualizing their work within Ottoman Bosnia. In addition, this study surveys Persian works in manuscript collections in the libraries of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It can clearly be seen that the Persian cultural ādāb (literature) of the past has continued to reverberate intellectually and culturally even today in Bosnia and its environs.
The systematics of Dysmorphocerinae (Cantharidae) based on larvae
Authors: Biffi Gabriel , Leschen Richard A. B. , Hsiao Yun , Daniel Gimo M. , Casari Sônia A. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Dysmorphocerinae is a subfamily of Cantharidae erected for a group of genera with a mainly gondwanan distribution whose adult forms could not be reliably assigned to any other subfamily. The systematic position and monophyly of Dysmorphocerinae remains questionable, as recent molecular and morphological studies have produced conflicting results. Despite the importance of immature morphology for characterising lineages of Cantharidae, so far, the larvae of only two dysmorphocerine species had been briefly described: Neoontelus sp., from New Zealand, and Afronycha picta (Wiedemann), from South Africa. Their morphologies considerably differ from one another, and the larvae cannot be readily attributed to any subfamily, as usually occurs with cantharid larvae. Here, we fully describe for the first time the larvae of Asilis Broun (New Zealand) and Plectonotum laterale Pic (Brazil) and redescribe Neoontelus Wittmer (New Zealand). We also diagnose larvae of Heteromastix Boheman (Australia) and A. picta. Dysmorphocerinae cannot be clearly diagnosed because each genus has a unique combination of features, though Neoontelus is the most divergent. We conclude that the Dysmorphocerinae may not be monophyletic with Plectonotum laterale, Asilis, Neoontelus, Heteromastix showing a closer relationship to Malthininae and Afronycha more aligned with Silinae or Cantharinae. The double gland openings present on the body of Neoontelus reported by Crowson (1972) are reinterpreted as a complex character involving a single posterior pore linked to a gland and an anterior sensillum that may serve as a trigger for the release of defensive chemicals. These are also reported in Asilis and Heteromastix and may be a potential synapomorphy for part of the Dysmorphocerinae. Neoontelus has a series of unique features, including a cotyliform glandular pore on abdominal segment IX.
“Oh, My Beloved, Great Bull!” An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cattle as a Marker of Economic and Political Status in Medieval Sub-Saharan Societies
Authors: Osypinska Marta , Żurawski Bogdan , Belka Zdzislaw , Osypinski Piotr , Łopaciuk Roman 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The historical, zooarchaeological and isotopic data concerning cattle breeding and management in the medieval Middle Nile Valley are considered in this paper in the first such comprehensive research for the region. The main source of data are the nearly 10,300 animal remains. The archaeozoological analyses focused primarily on cattle morphology. Strontium isotope analyses were used to indicate the local/non-local origin of animals encompassing the whole period studied. The empirical data indicate a developed central system of cattle management in medieval Makuria. Textual and iconographic sources additionally reflect an extensive set of values that have been experienced since prehistory in the Middle Nile and correspond to the anthropological definition of the “cattle centred behavior”. Comprehensive analysis of animal remains and the analysis of textual information enabled the formulation of a hypothesis about Makuria’s economic and cultural foundations rooted in the local tradition, constituting an important element of the Nubian identity.
Labiovelar loss and the rounding of syllabic liquids in Indo-Iranian
Authors: Clayton John 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper analyzes and supports the claim that Vedic Sanskrit preserves traces of the contrast between the Indo-European labiovelars and plain velars—a striking archaism in the Indo-Iranian family, which otherwise collapsed the two velar series. These labiovelar vestiges emerge because of the pervasive labialization of syllabic and consonantal rhotics at all attested stages of the Indo-Iranian family. Two rhotic labialization environments are examined in Indo-Aryan and Iranian: after labial(ized) consonants or before syllables containing u or w. Furthermore, this paper explains the unexpected development of bimoraic Proto-Indo-European *ḶμHμ.C to trimoraic Vedic Ūμμrμ.C by examining the phonetic characteristics of the labializable Indo-Iranian rhotics.
The Impact of Singing on Visual and Multisensory Speech Perception in Children on the Autism Spectrum
Authors: Feldman Jacob I. , Tu Alexander , Conrad Julie G. , Kuang Wayne , Santapuram Pooja , Woynaroski Tiffany G. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Autistic children show reduced multisensory integration of audiovisual speech stimuli in response to the McGurk illusion. Previously, it has been shown that adults can integrate sung McGurk tokens. These sung speech tokens offer more salient visual and auditory cues, in comparison to the spoken tokens, which may increase the identification and integration of visual speech cues in autistic children. Forty participants (20 autism, 20 non-autistic peers) aged 7–14 completed the study. Participants were presented with speech tokens in four modalities: auditory-only, visual-only, congruent audiovisual, and incongruent audiovisual (i.e., McGurk; auditory ‘ba’ and visual ‘ga’). Tokens were also presented in two formats: spoken and sung. Participants indicated what they perceived via a four-button response box (i.e., ‘ba’, ‘ga’, ‘da’, or ‘tha’). Accuracies and perception of the McGurk illusion were calculated for each modality and format. Analysis of visual-only identification indicated a significant main effect of format, whereby participants were more accurate in sung versus spoken trials, but no significant main effect of group or interaction effect. Analysis of the McGurk trials indicated no significant main effect of format or group and no significant interaction effect. Sung speech tokens improved identification of visual speech cues, but did not boost the integration of visual cues with heard speech across groups. Additional work is needed to determine what properties of spoken speech contributed to the observed improvement in visual accuracy and to evaluate whether more prolonged exposure to sung speech may yield effects on multisensory integration.
Are populations less genetically diverse and more differentiated at the species range edges? Analysis of the quantitative trait and molecular variation in wild oat Avena sterilis
Authors: Volis Sergei , Ormanbekova Danara , Shulgina Irina 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Although understanding factors determining the genetic makeup of natural populations has long been an important goal of evolutionary biology, the effect of population position within the species range (i.e., interior vs. edge) on species genetic variation is still unclear. According to the ‘abundant center’ hypothesis, the range edge populations are expected to exhibit lower genetic variation and higher differentiation than core populations because of their greater spatial isolation and smaller size. We tested these predictions by comparing the extent and structure of neutral (SSR) and quantitative trait genetic variation in 20 populations of an annual grass Avena sterilis hierarchically sampled at the species range core and two opposite edges. Within-population genetic diversity was reduced at the desert range edge compared to the range core as assessed by six SSR markers but not by eight quantitative traits; no reduction was detected at the mountain edge. Genetic differentiation among populations was higher at the desert range edge than the range core in both molecular markers and quantitative traits, but not at the mountain edge. Our results imply that the pattern of population genetic variation at the species range edges largely depends on the steepness of the environmental cline that has a major effect on species fitness. The more gradual the environmental cline from the species interior towards the edge, the higher the probability of detecting reduced genetic diversity and increased differentiation of peripheral populations as predicted by the ‘abundant center’ hypothesis.
Dostoevsky – Not a Defeated Idol in Akim Volynsky’s
Authors: Shalygina Olga V. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In Dostoevsky’s artistic quest, Volynsky saw general paths of development of culture and literature. In his last book on dance, Kniga likovanii: Azbuka klassicheskogo tantsa (1925)[The Book of Exaltations: The Alphabet of Classical Dance], Volynsky espouses a new ‘motor aesthetics’, in which the language and rules of ballet, as well as the connection of classical ballet with other arts is set out, whereby the technique of the emergence of the human spirit is reflected in the movements of the human body. The Book of Exaltations is proof that Dostoevsky never became a ‘defeated idol’ for Volynsky. In the article Infernal Woman (1900), answering the question why exactly beauty is undefinable, Volynsky gives the brief but exhaustive explanation that the undefined is in the “dualism of the span of beauty” (‘размах красоты’). In The Book of Exaltations, Volynsky already operates with this accidentally found image of ‘the span of beauty’, transposed into the term ‘coupé’, expanding it to a synthetic judgment in the Kantian sense.
Yevgeny Boratynsky as the Forerunner of Fyodor Dostoevsky: About One Topos in Literary Studies
Authors: Anokhina Yuliya Yu. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article is intended to answer the question of why researchers of E.A. Boratynsky often call him F.M. Dostoevsky’s forerunner– despite the fact that Dostoevsky’s statements about the poet have not yet been found, nor evidence that unequivocally indicates which works of Boratynsky Dostoevsky was familiar with. The material for this study was the work of literary critics and philologists of the xx–xxi centuries such as I.L. Al’mi, S.G. Bocharov, E. Vinokurov, V.V. Kozhinov, D.S. Merezhkovsky, G.A. Meyer, S.V. Rudakova. The article shows that the research thought reveals similarities in the worldview and aesthetic attitudes of the poet and writer, in their artistic methods, as well as in the character of the depiction of the inner world of heroes. It is noted that, paradoxical as it may seem, scientists find similarities in the works of Boratynsky and Dostoevsky, even at the level of artistic and expressive means. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the constructions of G.A. Meyer, who directly raised the question “Boratynsky and Dostoevsky” in the title one of his articles.
Dostoevsky’s View of Russian History and Assimilation of Hegel’s Concept of “Spirit”
Authors: Vladiv-Glover S. M. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
What gave rise to this Roundtable is the invasion by the Russian Federation of the sovereign state of Ukraine. This unprovoked act on the pretext of protecting Russian national security from a nato threat (as a result of Ukraine seeking membership) has shaken the existing post-Cold War world order. The question which arose shortly after the 24 February 2022 and which is still valid is: how do we read Russian literature against the background of the daily pictures of arbitrary carnage and destruction in the Donbas region and elsewhere in Ukraine? Is this a performance of a regressive Russian history in what Hegel termed the “world-historical” process? The question is answered by looking at Dostoevsky’s assimilation of Hegel’s concept of “national spirit” and the contradictory views about Europe this yielded in Dostoevsky’s aesthetics and polemical articles. It is this split vision which characterizes the civilizational paradox of the Russian Federation’s attitude to its European neighbors.
Jerusalem’s Ottoman Municipality: an Actor in the Slow Transition from Communal Charity to Social Welfare?
Authors: Naïli Falestin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
As a privileged site for individual and collective acts of charity, Jerusalem witnessed an important increase in charity and poor relief institutions in the nineteenth century, many of them European-backed and related to missionary ambitions. Partly in response to the perceived threat of the latter, the municipality of Jerusalem gradually became a crucial actor in poor relief, in the framework of an evolving legal framework defining the social responsibilities of municipalities and the rights of citizens. Drawing on the archives of the municipality, as well as diaries and memoirs of Jerusalemites, this article examines this transformation particularly in the realms of social welfare and health services.
Interpreting ‘Vital Human Needs’ under the UNWC
Authors: Liu Yang 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In the context of water scarcity exacerbated by climate change, clarification of the concept of ‘vital human needs’ versus the right to water as found in General Comment No. 15 and SDG Target 6.1, is needed to determine who enjoys vital human needs for what and whether or not vital human needs are prioritized. The article concludes that parallel concepts in General Comment No. 15 and the SDG Target 6.1 can help clarify the meaning and scope of the highly obscure term ‘vital human needs’ for water under article 10(2) of the UN Watercourses Convention.
Rivers as Legal Personalities in India and Bangladesh from an Eco-Centric Perspective: Balancing Developmental Needs and Environmental Protection
Authors: Jolly Stellina , Naik Gayathri D. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Recognition of the right to the environment as a human right in several jurisdictions revolutionised the approach towards environmental protection. Nevertheless, the right to the environment has an anthropogenic dimension, and this recognition could not mitigate the environmental crisis faced by the planet. In response to this increasing ecological crisis, the concept of recognising the rights to nature evolved. The Indian judiciary propounded the river Ganges and Yamuna; Glaciers, Gangotri, and Yamunotri as legal personalities and granted them the rights commensurate with that of a human being. This trend gained attention in Bangladesh, which gave all its rivers rights and legal personhood in 2019. Though the decisions followed the more prominent global trend, these decisions differ from the worldwide movement and their decisions in the articulation of rights and implementation. This paper critically evaluates the legal developments in the rights to nature jurisprudence in India and Bangladesh, focusing on the right to rivers. A critical understanding of the judicial developments is essential in analysing the potential of giving the rights of rivers in improving environmental protection strategies. Considering the impact of these judgments in the transboundary context, the paper looks into the impacts and implications of this recognition on transboundary river governance in India and Bangladesh. The article articulates an eco-centric approach as the starting point for evolving a global perspective in recognising the rights of rivers.
Water Law Reforms in Central Asian Countries: Recent Trends and Developments
Authors: Ziganshina Dinara 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Sound policies and enforceable water legislation are key to transforming water management under the increasing water demand and climate change. In recent years, diverse water regulatory frameworks have evolved in the Central Asian countries to regulate the management and development of water resources and the provision of water services. This paper provides an overview of the Central Asian countries’ water legislation with focus on water management institutions at national, basin and local levels, introduction of economic mechanisms in water use and management as well as provisions related to human right to water and the environmental protection. Based on the resultant insights, the paper identifies five recent trends and areas for further improvement, including the need to (1) strengthen water regulatory frameworks as a part and parcel of the overall political and economic transformations in the countries; (2) reform water institutions with a clear focus on the sector performance and foster coordination between different stakeholders; (3) enable context-specific arrangements for workable basin and local water management; (4) address the issues of human and environmental needs on water, which are becoming increasingly important under the impact of climate change, industrialization, and urbanization; and (5) expand the effectiveness of economic mechanisms in water use and regulation to ensure cost recovery and investment flow into the sector.
