The development of Soviet penal prohibitions during the Great Patriotic war

The paper covers the study of criminal law regulation during the Great Patriotic War in the historical and legal context. The purpose of the work is to form scientifically substantiated knowledge about the features of the development of the system of penal prohibitions in Soviet law during the Great Patriotic War. Based on the constructivist paradigm, the authors study the process of transformation of penal prohibitions in wartime, highlighting the role of not only legislative but also executive and judicial bodies in this process. The conducted study allowed concluding that the transformation of criminal law regulation equally affected the general and special parts of this branch of law. However, the changes were caused both by the needs of martial law and by the transformation of criminal law shortly before the war, which was associated with the proclaimed by the Constitution of the USSR of 1936 transition to regulating this branch of law not at the republican, but at the all-Union level. In the legal doctrine and the general part of criminal law, the changes concerned primarily the criminalization of civil and labor relations, the expansion of the limits of criminal law regulation, in particular the emergence of new objects of criminal defense, and the clarification of the list of special subjects of criminal law for whom increased measures of criminal liability were established. With regard to the special part of criminal law, the changes were more specific in nature due to the need to mobilize all material and human resources to defeat the enemy and ensure law and order and public safety.

Bangladesh's national education policy for English teaching: Policy direction and gaps over the last decade

This study aims to demonstrate the perceived differences between the direction and the gaps in the execution of Bangladesh's National Education Policy (NEP) for English Teachers. It specifically examines the changing requirements of English teachers over the past decade by enhancing their proficiency and teaching methodologies. In this study, we show that communicative language teaching (CLT) approaches significantly modify the existing structure of educational policy in Bangladesh. The present study is grounded in the constructivist research paradigm and utilized a qualitative case study approach from diverse sources. The data was gathered via document analysis, classroom observations, and interviews with six secondary school English teachers from a pool of educators representing four schools in different areas of Bangladesh. The data was analyzed using theme analysis via NVivo 11 software. The findings indicate several areas where the objectives of Bangladesh's NEP could be better aligned with their practical execution. These areas include reforming elementary and secondary schools and restructuring school leadership, teacher education, teacher status, and classroom pedagogy. Furthermore, this study is a valuable contribution toward advancing a more robust and efficient education policy at the national level, which can effectively improve the standard of education for all to provide quality teaching.

The personalization of smartphone use by mothers from low-class family in Palembang

The societal impact of technological advancements is profound, leading to significant transformations in the way people live. However, a significant proportion of the population continue to be marginalized and excluded. This study aims to examine the complex dynamics that shape the adoption and integration of technology into the daily lives of mothers from low class families. It also investigates how these mothers overcome challenges and leverage the opportunities presented by smartphones to benefit their lives. This study employs a constructivist paradigm and utilizes phenomenological approaches using social construction of technology framework. The data collection was done through in-depth interviews with 10 mothers in Palembang City who met the specified requirements for informants. This study shows that the social and economic factors are the primary factors behind technology appropriation process of mothers from low-class families. They strategically manage their use of mobile technology to meet the unique and particular demands of each home. The results of this study demonstrate that technology is not merely a functional instrument; it is also an entity that is embedded with social and cultural significance, making it inextricably linked to the social dynamics and gender context.

Anti-Corruption Efforts in Regional Police Departments: The Role of Regional Inspectorate Supervision Based on Justice Values

This study explores how effective oversight can enhance the utilization of state apparatus for achieving good and clean governance, specifically focusing on the role of regional inspectorates in preventing corruption within regional police departments. The study aims to: 1) analyze why current regulations regarding the regional inspectorate's role in corruption prevention are not based on justice values; 2) identify challenges in these regulations; and 3) propose a reconstruction of the regulations to align with justice values. Using a constructivist paradigm, a socio-legal approach, and descriptive research methods, the study relies on secondary data sources, including primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Data collection is conducted through a literature review, and qualitative analysis is employed for data interpretation. The findings reveal that the current regulation is not justice-aligned due to the supervisory function of the Regional Inspectorate (Itwasda) being under the authority of the Regional Police Chief (Kapolda), rather than the National Police Chief (Kapolri). This structure limits the effectiveness of oversight and suggests the need for a direct reporting line to National Police Chief. Challenges in the existing framework include a lack of specific legal guidelines governing the inspectorate's role in corruption prevention and insufficient synergy between organizational sections and Supervision Inspectorate. Furthermore, there is a cultural reluctance to report corruption. The study proposes reconstructing the regulation to ensure a justice-based framework, including normative revisions to relevant laws and regulations, such as Law No. 20 of 2001 on the Amendment of Law No. 31 of 1999 on Corruption Eradication, and Indonesian National Police Regulation No. 14 of 2018. This reconstruction aims to establish a clearer, more effective oversight mechanism that enhances the inspectorate's role in corruption prevention.

Reconstruction of Law Enforcement Rule for Employers of Medical Practitioner without Practice Licenses Based on Restorative Justice

In Indonesia, current constructive law lacks clear regulation regarding the enforcement of laws against employers who hire medical practitioner without practice licenses. As a result, law enforcement often relies on general statutes such as the Penal Code or Civil Code, treating offenders similarly to criminals. This situation emphasizes the urgent need for specific rule that adhere to principles of restorative justice. This study aims to study the absences in current law enforcement rule pertaining to employers of unlicensed medical practitioner, explore these issues from a restorative justice perspective, and propose a reconstructed regulatory framework grounded in restorative justice principles. The research employs a constructivist paradigm with a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing socio-legal methods within a qualitative research design. Data consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials gathered through literature review, observation, and interviews, and are studied qualitatively. The findings reveal that existing rule do not follow to principles of restorative justice. Enforcement lacks consistency, hindering the equitable access of the public to law enforcement, justice, and benefits. Weaknesses include the absence of specific legal provisions and insufficient knowledge among law enforcement officials regarding healthcare law, resulting in inconsistent enforcement practices. Illustration on international and national legal insights, the study proposes a reconstructed legal framework that ensures balanced protection for employers, medical practitioner, and patients, promoting dignified and high-quality healthcare services free from stigma, and showed with fairness and professionalism. Reconstructing legal norms such as Article 442 and healthcare legislation could create a balanced law enforcement regulation that upholds legal enforcement, legal utility, and societal justice perceptions.

Justice-Based Regulation: A New Paradigm in Copyright Protection

Copyright, as a special right of creators, develops automatically under the declarative value once a work is happened in a physical form, with certain limitations as prescribed by law. This study investigates the current limitations in legal protection for copyright owners and proposes a justice-based regulatory framework. The research is structured around three central questions: 1) Why does the existing legal framework for copyright protection fail to deliver justice for copyright owners? 2) What are the essential shortcomings in the current regulations? 3) How can these values be restored to safeguard justice-based protection? Engaging a constructivist paradigm and a sociological legal method, this research utilizes socio-legal methods, including expressive analysis of both primary and secondary data. Data collection was conducted through literature reviews and field studies, with qualitative methods applied to analyse the findings. The study reveals substantial gaps in the current legal framework, particularly within Articles 1, 8, and 9 of the Copyright Law, which ineffectively safeguard the rights of copyright owners. These deficiencies are exacerbated by the widespread misuse of artificial intelligence technologies that modify original works, undermining the economic rights of creators. The analysis finds three main areas of weakness: legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. The current legal provisions are ineffective in practice, implementation mechanisms are flawed, and societal attitudes towards copyright are driven by pragmatism, leading to frequent violations and unfair royalty distribution. To address these issues, the study recommends a comprehensive modernization of the legal framework, focusing on value and normative modernizations. Key proposals include amendments to the Copyright Law No. 28 of 2014 and Government Regulation No. 56 of 2021 to establish a more equitable and justice-oriented system for copyright protection.

Reconstruction of Legislative Members' Term Rules Based on the Principle of Justice

The presence of the House of Representatives in Indonesia's constitutional system significantly supports the development of democracy, as they serve as the people's representatives and voice. Currently, it is essential to implement term restrictions for legislative members, primarily for societal benefit. This study addresses the following research problems: Why is the current rule of legislative members' terms not just? What are the weaknesses of the current legislative term rules? How should the rule of legislative members' terms be reconstructed based on the principle of justice? Employing a constructivism paradigm, this research uses a sociological juridical approach and a descriptive research type. Data sources include primary data from field research and secondary data from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Data collection methods encompass observation, interviews, and literature study, with qualitative data analysis. The findings indicate that the current rule of legislative members' terms is unjust due to the lack of term restrictions, leading to increased risks of corruption, bribery, collusion, and nepotism. Weaknesses in existing rules on criminal sanctions for corruption, bribery are evident in the legal substance, structure, and culture. The legal substance lacks clear provisions on term restrictions, and the legal structure fails to address the urgency of implementing term restrictions for House of Representatives of Indonesia’s and Regional Representative Council members. Additionally, there is a need to raise public awareness about the importance of term restrictions for legislative members. The study suggests reconstructing criminal sanctions rules against corruption, bribery based on justice values, which involves revising both values and norms. This includes transforming previously unjust rules into just ones and amending the legislative term rules according to the principle of justice, as outlined in Law No. 7 on 2017 concerning General Elections, Articles 240(1) and 248.

Japanese Cross-Cultural Management in Indian Business-to-Business Marketing Situations: A Study of Evolving Intra-Asian Differences in Cultural Values

ABSTRACT Purpose Extensive research has been conducted on cross-cultural comparisons between Eastern and Western organizational cultures in major trading domains. However, there is a lack of examination of intra-comparative management nuances within Asian regions. This research paper focuses on the under-explored topic of the values, beliefs, and attitudes (VBAs) that influence the outcomes of East Asian (e.g. Japan) marketing strategies and operations when implemented in South Asian (e.g. India) markets and organizational contexts. The study aims to analyze the impact of VBAs on marketing effectiveness and provide insights for marketers in cross-cultural settings. The article analyzes the customer satisfaction orientation (CSO) of Japanese business executives and draws insights that offer lessons related to cultural VBAs for overall marketing strategy and foreign investors. Methodology/approach The paper employs a social constructivist paradigm and gathers empirical research through multiple interviews. These facilitate novel and normally rare access and insights into Japanese business leaders’ lived experience of CSO in B2B Indian intercultural situations. Findings Interpretivist data analysis reveals several push-pull factors that influence CSO practice. The research identifies shared values such as long-termism and harmony that have the potential to boost CSO as a marketing strategy in India. Research implications The paper develops a conceptualization of cultural VBAs that lead to successful CSO practice in India and is of relevance to foreign investors. Practical implications This study suggests that East Asian marketers should carefully consider the impact of VBAs on their marketing strategies. Our research sheds light on the ongoing discussion on static versus evolving nature of culture and highlights the need to pay attention to cultural change, particularly congruence and confluence in workplace values. Originality The intercultural study contributes to the literature on international marketing strategy by highlighting the nature and importance of understanding traditional and evolving cultural VBAs for appreciating receptivity to adoption and thereby efficacy of home country marketing strategy.

Spirituality and Transcendental meditation practitioners’ experiences in South Africa and Ghana

ABSTRACT Spirituality involves being in harmony with the cosmos or nature and a willingness to engage in good works for the sake of mankind; for instance, love for one another, care for the environment, and the production and protection of the common good for society. Spirituality could also be defined as the connectedness with nature or the cosmos, seeing beyond the circumstances of one’s limitation and the suffering one encounters (transcendence) and understanding one purpose and meaning of one existence. In an African context, spirituality is experienced by many people as being in touch with one’s spirit which is an indication of integration of the body with the spirit and without this spiritual aspect of the essence of oneself, it becomes natural to see and feel problem. When one is permanently established on the platform of the Transcendental Being, life is lived in eternal freedom and enjoyment of blissfulness throughout the day. In this vein, the self silently witnesses daily activity. This is the essence of TM practice where practitioners experience spiritual upliftment. Though much research has been done on TM globally, the spiritual lived experiences of the practitioners have not been adequately explored, especially in South Africa and Ghana. Therefore, the study sought to explore the spiritual lived experiences of TM practitioners in South Africa and Ghana. The study adopted the constructivist paradigm through the lens of phenomenology. In all, 28 participants took part in the study − 14 participants from South Africa and another 14 from Ghana. Open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data for the study. Husserl’s transcendental phenomenological data analysis was used to analyze and synthesize the descriptions of the spiritual lived experiences of the TM practitioners. The results suggest that TM act as a catalyst for the spiritual growth of the participants from both countries and that they experienced spiritual upliftment with the practice of TM. However, two participants both females were of the view that TM has nothing to do with their spirituality. It is the recommendation of this study that people who seek a spiritual path to discover their purpose and meaning in life explore this technique although there are other paths toward spiritual enlightenment. For instance, Christian’s contemplations player and Sufism.

Bridging the Skills Gap: Integrating Mobile Learning in Adult Basic Education and Training for Enhanced Employability in South Africa

South Africa experiences high levels of unemployment, and, among other reasons, this is perpetuated by a lack of skills development and training for adult learners in the Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) sector. To alleviate poverty and unemployment, adult learners need skills development and training to use mobile devices to learn conveniently. Mobile learning (m-learning) is a form of distance learning and a subset of e-learning and flexible learning. It has significance for the development of individual adult learners and countries. Consequently, this research study aimed to explore the effectiveness of skills development for adult learners in the ABET sector in South Africa and was supported by the theoretical framework of Andragogy. It also used the constructivist paradigm, followed by the qualitative research approach, and data collection methods included focus group interviews. The research findings indicate that skills development and training are desired in the ABET sector and that m-learning could be of greater use as an alternative approach to teaching and learning for adult learners. Based on the findings, the authors recommend integrating practical skills development into ABET programs and expanding mobile learning initiatives for effective mobile learning.

Meaning Construction of Celebrities Popularity as a Political Commodity in Millenial Generation

This research uses a qualitative research and constructivist paradigm. Data collection technique using in-depth interviews with representatives of millennial political activists in Indonesia from PSI (Partai Solidaritas Indonesia). Research result shows meaning of politics according to PSI millennial generation politicians includes: life, self-awareness, basic obligations, benefiting people many, power, interests, collective work, policies binding, bringing change, bringing prosperity. The political meaning of these components are the internalization of those whoever been in apolitical thinking. There is further scrutiny regarding the progress of Indonesian celebrity politicians, who are considered to only be based on the aspect of being close to millennials but not touching conscience, people's beliefs and ethical principles. The involvement of millennial politicians is in practical politics including a form of self-actualization by participating fighting for anti-corruption and anti-intolerance, with enthusiasm Bhinneka Tunggal Ika includes: transparency, honesty, never giving up, breaking old standards, and competing skillfully so that you can showing pride in politics. Millennial politicians tried to attend with a new political spirit and style as a breakthrough and antithesis from baby boomer. On the other hand, society has not been fully touched by political literacy so it does not attach much importance to the vision and mission and background of politicians.

A dual-recognition strategy based on pH-responsive molecularly imprinted membrane for highly selective capture of catecholamines: From construction to practical application

BackgroundCatecholamines (CAs) are involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes in the body and are progressively being used as important biomarkers for a variety of diseases. It is of great significance for accurate quantification of CAs to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, the separation of CAs from complex biological matrices is still a great challenge due to the trace levels of CAs and the limited selectivity of existing pretreatment methods. ResultsIn this work, a dual-recognition imprinted membrane (BA-MIM) was developed to utilize the synergistic action of pH-responsive boron affinity and molecular imprinted cavities for highly selective capture and release of CAs. The prepared BA-MIM possessed remarkable adsorption capacity (maximum capacity, 43.3 mg g−1), desirable surface hydrophilicity (46.2°), superior selectivity (IF = 6.2, α = 14.3), as well as favorable reusability (number of cycles, 6 times). On this basis, an integrated analytical method based on BA-MIM extraction combined with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was innovatively developed to highly selective separation, enrichment, and detection of CAs in rat brain tissue. Under the optimum conditions, a low quantitation limits (0.05–0.10 ng mL−1), wide linear range (10–1000 ng mL−1), good linearity (r2 > 0.99), and satisfactory recoveries (88.5%–98.5 %) were obtained for CAs. The proven method was further applied to kidney-yang-deficiency-syndrome (KYDS) group rat model, revealed the intrinsic connection between kidney disease and catecholamine metabolism. SignificanceThis work provides an excellent reference paradigm for the effective construction of dual-recognition functional membrane material to the high-selective analysis of trace targets in complex matrices. Additionally, this integrated analytical strategy demonstrates its efficiency, sustainability, versatility, and convenience, showing remarkable prospect in a variety of applications for biological sample analysis.

Experience as a physician attending to traffic accident victims in hospitals in Managua, Nicaragua

Introduction: Every 23 seconds a person dies from a traffic accident in the world, that is about 3756 deaths per day, with the consequent impact on relatives and health personnel. Doctors are part of the health team that is on the front line of care. Although this is part of their daily work, their feelings and emotions are deeply affected. There is a deficit of research of this type carried out by doctors.Methodology: Qualitative study, under the constructivist paradigm with a phenomenological approach. The objective was; explore the lived experience of doctors who treat victims of traffic accidents. The sample was intentional with five participating physicians . The phenomenological interview was used as an information collection technique and analyses were carried out according to Van Manen.Results: From the analysis, 15 codes were obtained inductively, which gave rise to 6 sub-themes: Impacts of Tragedies; Communication of bad news; Becoming of emotion; Coping; Narratives that endure and Resignation that in turn made up the 3 central themes: Body Lived in the impact, Time Lived in the here and after and Human Relations lived: between narratives and resignation.Conclusion: The study reveals that doctors are indirect victims of adverse events in the face of damage to the patient and their family in the face of a traffic accident. Constant monitoring of their psychological and emotional well-being, training communication strategies and improving patient-centered curricular programs are recommended. Extending the study to other specialties would enrich this understanding..

Barriers and facilitators to screening for intimate partner violence at a level 1 trauma center

BackgroundIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem that is associated with substantial health sequelae, including traumatic injury. Surgical professional societies recommend universal intimate partner violence screening in patients presenting after trauma, but this recommendation is not uniformly implemented. We designed and implemented a quality improvement project at our institution in July 2020 to enhance intimate partner violence screening. Although screening rates improved, they remained suboptimal. Therefore, we sought to examine barriers and facilitators to intimate partner violence screening from trauma clinicians’ perspectives. Study DesignWe conducted a qualitative study using in-depth, semistructured interviews to understand the perspectives and experiences of trauma clinicians conducting intimate partner violence screening. A constructivist paradigm informed our study whereby our data collection approaches aimed to understand intimate partner violence screening from the perspectives of those tasked with implementing screening within real-world clinical settings. We used thematic analysis to analyze our data and generate themes related to barriers and facilitators to screening. ResultsWe conducted interviews with 12 resident physicians and 2 advance practice providers. We identified 6 themes, 3 reflecting facilitator themes as (1) standardized education and workflow, (2) benefits of interdisciplinary teamwork, and (3) context of screening, and 3 reflecting barrier themes as (1) lack of time, (2) language misinterpretation, and (3) perceived inappropriateness of universal screening. ConclusionTrauma clinicians described multiple facilitators and barriers to screening for intimate partner violence following traumatic injury, some of which were unique to the trauma setting. Projects seeking to achieve universal screening following traumatic injury may benefit from accounting for these factors when designing interventions.

Human Resource Development Planning Oriented Towards Character Building in Santri: A Case Study in Soppeng District's Islamic Boarding Schools

This research aims to know and discover human resource development planning oriented towards building students' character. This research is a case study or field research using qualitative methods with a constructivist paradigm. This research was carried out at 6 Islamic boarding schools in Soppeng district. The research results show that planning for human resource development in the character education program for the six Islamic boarding schools in Soppeng Regency was carried out carefully by involving various parties, such as Islamic boarding school leaders, teaching staff and parents of students. The character education program considers religious values, students' needs, and current developments. However, several Islamic boarding schools still have teaching staff who have yet to participate in workshops on Character education. As a suggestion in this research, Islamic boarding school leaders always carry out good planning in human resource management development, incorporate character values into the moral development process in Islamic boarding schools, and encourage teaching staff to participate in workshops or training related to character education.
