Human Rights and Corruption in Brazil
Authors: Delgado Lucas 
Published: February 2025

This book identifies 2 polarising concepts used by Brazilian mainstream sociology to explain the formation and identity of Brazil as a society: corruption and human rights.
As the 1988 Constitution is a milestone in the Brazilian transition to democracy and part of a broader movement of Brazil's integration into international law, the impact of international legal regimes on the attainment of human rights and the fight against corruption is analysed to evaluate the state of Brazilian democracy.
The book examines the outcomes of 4 specific international human rights regimes in Brazil, involving rights and policies related to: – the right to food, the fight against hunger, and conditional cash transfer programmes; – the right to health and the public healthcare system; – the right to racial equality and affirmative action in superior education; and – the right to recognition and the protection of Indigenous populations.
This approach is then applied to the examination of the international anti-corruption agenda. It focuses on Brazil’s determination to deal with corruption against the backdrop of its worst democratic crisis of the last 35 years using meticulously researched case studies on the most prominent investigations, includingMensalãoandLava Jato (Car Wash). The book traces back to the origins of the international anti-corruption agenda and key legitimising efforts aimed at aligning the discourses with the developmental, good-governance trends, and delves into its repercussions within the Brazilian context, with a glance at their collateral effects in other parts of the world.
Thus, the core focus of the work revolves around human rights and the fight against corruption, shedding light on how democracy evolves or recedes over time under their influence.

The Servant
Authors: Sargeant Amy 
Published: February 2025

Amy Sargeant's compelling and meticulous study of Joseph Losey's The Servant (1963) sets the film in the context of a long tradition of fictional depictions of the master-servant relationship, from Shakespeare to Cervantes, Henry James, Dorothy L. Sayers and P.G. Wodehouse. Sargeant points out that while many of these relationships are played for comic effect, that of the ‘young master’ Tony (James Fox) and his manservant Barrett (Dirk Bogarde) unfolds in a far more sinister manner, with Barrett coming to dominate and humiliate the hapless Tony.
Sargeant's reading pays particular attention to the contribution not only of Losey and Harold Pinter, who adapted the screenplay from Robin Maugham's novella, but also of the cinematographer Douglas Slocombe, designer Richard Macdonald and costume designer Beatrice ‘Bumble’ Dawson. She analyses the performances of Sarah Miles as Barrett's lover Vera and Wendy Craig as Tony's fiancee Susan, as well as those of Fox and Bogarde, and gives careful consideration to how the film uses architectural form, interior design and decoration, and clothing to establish character and relationships. In the context of the collapse of the British Empire, and a beleaguered Establishment beset by spy and sex scandals, the film can be read, Sargeant argues, as a metaphor for the ‘state of the nation’ in the early 1960s.
Finally, Sargeant considers the film's critical and commercial reception in Britain, Europe and the United States - its release, how it was received as one of a number of ‘emigre’ films, and Losey's surprising denial of a homoerotic intent in the Tony-Barrett relationship.
In her new foreword to this edition, Amy Sargeant considers contemporary resonances of the film's depiction of a twisted master-servant relationship in recent TV and cinema including The Crown, Downton Abbey and The Trial of Christine Keeler.
Throne of Blood
Authors: Watson Robert N. 
Published: February 2025

Throne of Blood (1957), Akira Kurosawa’s reworking of Macbeth, is widely considered the greatest film adaptation of Shakespeare ever made.
In a detailed account of the film, Robert N. Watson explores how Kurosawa draws key philosophical and psychological arguments from Shakespeare, translates them into striking visual metaphors, and inflects them through the history of post-World War II Japan. Watson places particular emphasis on the contexts that underlie the film’s central tension between individual aspiration and the stability of broader social and ecological collectives - and therefore between free will and determinism.
In his foreword to this new edition, Robert Watson considers the central characters’ Washizu and his wife Asaji’s blunder in viewing life as a ruthless competition in which only the most brutal can thrive in the context of an era of neoliberal economics, resurgent ‘strongman’ political leaders, and myopic views of the environmenal crisis, with nothing valued that cannot be monetized.

Authors: Rusmanto Ayub , Suseno Aji 
Published: February 2025

This paper discusses contemporary missions related to church planting as part of the implementation of the command of the Lord Jesus in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creatures”, which is implemented by planting churches in the reality of contemporary Indonesian culture. The method used in writing this paper is a descriptive qualitative method with a literature approach, the author will describe descriptively the basis of Christian mission and the urgency to review or update the construction and implementation of missions in the reality of contemporary Indonesian culture. If investigating the church's mission is urgent to respond to the Great Commission in preaching the Gospel to the formed Congregation. The results of this paper conclude that the implementation of the church's mission must pay attention to the cultural realities in Indonesia today. Because the mission of the church without paying attention to the context of the recipient will find complications and even failures in carrying out the Great Commission. In this case, an understanding and policy of cultural reality in Indonesia today is needed in accordance with the current context in which the church is present.Tulisan ini mempercakapkan mengenai misi masa kini bersinggungan dengan penanaman gereja sebagai bagian dari implementasi perintah Tuhan Yesus dalam Markus 16:15, “Pergilah ke seluruh dunia, beritakanlah Injil kepada segala makhluk”, yang diimplementasikan penanaman gereja dalam realitas budaya Indonesia masa kini. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisaa karya tulis ini adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan kepustakaan, penulis akan menguraikan secara deskriptif tentang landasan misi Kristen dan urgensinya melakukan kajian ulang atau meng-up date terhadap kontruksi dan implementasi misi dalam realitas budaya Indonesia masa kini. Jika menginvitigasi misi gereja merupakan urgensi meresponi Amanat Agung dalam pemberitaan Injil kepada Jemaat yang terbentuk. Hasil penulisan ini disimpulkan dalam implementasi misi gereja harus memperhatikan realitas budaya di Indonesia masa kini. Sebab misi gereja tanpa memperhatikan konteks penerima akan mendapati kerumitan bahkan kegagalan dalam menjalankan Amanat Agung. Dalam hal ini diperlukan pemhaman dan kebijakan realitas budaya di Indonesia masa kini sesuai dengan konteks kekinian di mana gereja hadir

A TKE analysis for the roughness sublayer of an Amazon forest under unstable atmospheric conditions
Authors: Laba Paulo Henrique , Dias Nelson Luís da Costa , Dias Júnior Cleo Quaresma 
Published: February 2025

The equation of turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) quantiﬁes the intensity of turbulence, the mechanisms generating it, transporting it, and dissipating it. Given the well-known diﬃculty in applying Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory in the roughness sublayer, the development of new approaches to understand the ﬂow in this region of the atmosphere is necessary. By calculating the terms of TKE and their balance using a reduced TKE diagram, we sought to investigate the characteristics of turbulence over an Amazon forest located at the ATTO Project experimental site. To do so, using data from three sonic anemometers at heights of 35m, 50m and 81m installed on one of the experiment towers and collected between August and October 2021 for the daytime period, we computed the terms of mechanical production P , thermal production B, storage S, vertical turbulence transport Tv, and dissipation εe of TKE. At the chosen analysis height (66m - average between the two upper sonic anemometers) and after quality control, we obtained 42 one-hour blocks. It was observed that in over 90% of the cases, εe was the largest term. The second-largest term was B (≈ 57%) and the third was P (≈ 40%), showing a certain balance regarding production mechanisms. However, upon balancing them, the existence of a residual term, not explained by Tv, was found. This residual was predominantly negative, which may indicate the effect of vegetation and topography on the ﬂow. It was also noted that in 70% of the blocks, the transport of TKE was upwards. S, on the other hand, is at least 2 orders of magnitude smaller than P , being negligible. Additionally, we calculated the dimensionless standard deviation for vertical wind speed, which showed good agreement with what is expected in the inertial sublayer (ISL).
The economic implications of Nigeria’s foreign debt servicing and sustainability
Authors: Aladejare Samson Adeniyi , Musa Mohammed Auwal 
Published: February 2025

Despite extensive literature examining the role foreign debt plays in the growth of the Nigerian economy, seldom do they simultaneously consider the effect of external debt servicing and sustainability. Accordingly, this study examined the impact of external debt servicing and sustainability on the economic growth of Nigeria for the period between 1980 and 2022. The auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was adopted to measure the effect of the explanatory variables on the dependent variable. Empirically, the study demonstrated that the impact of debt sustainability was insufficient on the economy; notwithstanding being positive in the long run. Thus, suggesting the presence of a sovereign Ponzi finance in Nigeria’s debt management. However, the effects of external debt servicing and foreign debt interest payment were significant and negative on the economy in the short and long run periods. Thus, showing that resources being used to service the debt of the nation, crowd-out funds that could have been used to spur growth of the economy. Generally, the study affirmed the applicability of the debt-overhang hypothesis for the country. Conversely, exchange rate significantly and positively impacted the economy, indicating that an improvement in the value of the Naira, will be indicative of an improvement in the economy. Hence, the study recommends amongst others that effective external debt management strategies such as the debt for equity swap programme should be adopted by fiscal authorities in the country.
Особливості комплектування збройних сил іноземних держав

Published: February 2025

Актуальність даної статті обумовлена тим, що система комплектування Збройних Сил України, як важлива складова військового будівництва, визначає спроможність військ (сил) протистояти реальному, а у подальшому – потенційному противнику, яким у найближчий перспективі залишається російська федерація. За своєю суттю система комплектування є системою забезпечення збройних сил військовослужбовцями й цивільним персоналом у мирний і воєнний час, а також створення запасу (резерву) військово-навчених людських ресурсів. Аналіз відсічі російської збройної агресії засвідчив, що, не дивлячись на суттєву перевагу противника в озброєнні та військовій техніці, Збройним Силам України вдалося зупинити його просування, а на деяких напрямках навіть відновити положення по державному кордону, що об’єктивно пояснюється саме перевагою у людському факторі. Разом з тим, були виявлені і певні проблеми у комплектуванні військ (сил) особовим складом. У зв'язку з цим дана стаття спрямована на виявлення можливих шляхів вирішення виниклих проблем на основі аналізу іноземного досвіду з питань комплектування, особливо з точки зору спроможності держави створювати мобілізаційний людський ресурс. На сьогодні основними способами комплектування залишаються такі: комплектування за контрактом, комплектування за призовом та їх поєднання – змішаний спосіб. На спроможності системи комплектування забезпечити збройні сили особовим складом впливає низка зовнішніх і внутрішніх факторів. Ці фактори формують потребу в особовому складі, визначають можливості держави забезпечити таку потребу з урахуванням вимог до особового складу і, в цілому, впливають на прийняття політичного рішення щодо способу комплектування. На основі проведеного аналізу можна констатувати, що кожний розглянутий спосіб комплектування збройних сил має свої переваги і недоліки, тому абсолютизувати той або інший спосіб немає сенсу. Що стосується комплектування Збройних Сил України в мирний час, то у прогнозованій перспективі доцільним буде вважатися змішаний спосіб, особливо з точки зору економічних та фінансових спроможностей держави. Матеріали статті можуть бути корисними для керівників структурних підрозділів, фахівців з кадрового менеджменту, а також науковцям і дослідникам в галузі національної безпеки.
