Naxal Insurgency in India: Managing Conflict through Empowerment

The election of an indigenous (Adivasi) lady as the President of India added a new dynamic to the centuries-old Naxal insurgency in India. Not receiving a fair deal after India’s independence, the Naxals adopted Maoist ideology. By 2010 the insurgency engulfed one-third of India and posed a serious security challenge. Since then, the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments have adopted different strategies to curtail the insurgency, but it still persists. Against this backdrop, this article briefly discusses the historical antecedents; delineates in detail the operational strategies adopted by the Naxals, the counter-insurgency strategies adopted by the Congress and BJP governments; developmental challenges faced by the Adivasis; and suggests recommendations for how the President of India, an Adivasi herself, can be instrumental in containing the Naxal insurgency threats through empowerment.

Supervision of conduct of business: ensuring a fair deal for clients in Europe’s smallest member state

ABSTRACT The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) prioritizes promoting market integrity and consumer protection, particularly for retail clients. To prevent misconduct by financial service providers, the MFSA employs stringent regulatory requirements and effective supervision using robust tools. Financial conduct supervision, crucial for maintaining market fairness, is a key MFSA priority. This article highlights the importance of the MFSA’s specialised conduct supervision function in enhancing consumer protection and supervisory focus. The discussion includes the authorisation process for licensing financial entities in Malta, the MFSA’s supervisory approach, and the tools used to enforce consumer protection regulations, concluding with reflections on the overall strategy.

Legal design for indigenous communities: A case within the carbon credit market

Traditional contract architectures and structures do not address indigenous communities’ needs and can hinder them from accessing justice. As indigenous communities have a growing stake in current business deals and structures, they have been misrepresented in negotiation and contracting processes. Access to justice does not only mean the right to file a lawsuit or go to court, but for a person to effectively understand and exercise their own rights. Therefore, traditional standard contracts are not proper business instruments to deal with the growing business opportunities presented to indigenous communities today. Those standards have historically been created to cover corporate needs, generally comprising a homogeneous group of people. Therefore, such contracting instruments keep such communities from accessing justice. This article explores the resources that legal design techniques present to create more accessible documents as a tool for social justice. By using a different and innovative contract architecture, design features, and user experience (UX) principles, documents may increase empathy for their users, diminish sales cycles, and avoid conflicts during negotiations. Legal design techniques applied to a carbon credit generation agreement during a negotiation between a Colombian company and a Brazilian indigenous community led to the closing of a fair deal, respecting the community's interests. This article explores the resources used in the contract and its results. The analysis also explores a prior attempt to use a standard document version, which created resistance from the community's leaders to negotiate the deal due to its structure and language. The language and structure used in the traditional contract model led to misinterpretation, mistrust, and communication problems between the parties, hindering them from closing a deal. Such a case demonstrates that legal design can benefit any group in which legalese can represent a barrier to the full understanding of a document. By using UX and design principles to better organize content and make it clearer to a document's user such resources help them fully exercise their rights. In addition, this case advocates for the use of legal design for documents that aim at other minority groups as their end users.

Bank Runs and Design Flaws of Deposit Insurance

Deposit insurance systems are designed to balance the benefits of preventing bank runs and protecting ordinary savers against the costs of reduced market discipline and potential burdens on taxpayers. Design flaws of deposit insurance make the benefits too low and the costs too high. This paper presents an example in which solvent banks can effectively manage runs, depositors discipline banks to a reasonable extent, and taxpayers have a fair deal. It has three key features: the bank’s authority to activate deposit insurance early, a coinsurance scheme that transfer money from those who run on solvent banks to those who stay put, and a shareholder position for taxpayers. Early activation of deposit insurance prevents fire sales of assets and provides opportunities to verify the bank’s solvency. The coinsurance scheme weakens the incentive to run and strengthens the incentive to hold on to their accounts. As shareholders, taxpayers receive dividends in normal times in exchange for large payouts in catastrophic events.

Ready for a Fair Deal

Canadian academic libraries are unionized environments, requiring collective organization and action to address labour conditions and contract negotiations. The University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA) has 1264 members, including 52 archivists and librarians, and in 2021 resolved the longest strike in association history. The newly ratified agreement contained major gains to advance pay equity within the union, and the strike itself maintained UMFA historic high levels of participation and member engagement, in part due to the significant contributions of librarians and archivists. In this paper, three librarians who held distinct positions of leadership within UMFA, particularly during its 2021 strike, examine the unique strengths and difficulties of librarians and archivists working within a broader faculty union to make change. Relying on core competencies of librarianship, such as collaboration, consultation, communication, and leadership, the authors collectively and successfully filled central roles in the strategic direction, organizational foundation, and on-the-ground mobilization of the strike effort. The historical context for the labour climate and organizing history at the University of Manitoba is examined and demonstrates that core competencies of librarians and archivists are valuable and imperative skills in faculty union organizing. Librarians and archivists can use this narrative to inform the development of their own activism within their unions and workplaces, and to examine how their own skills may help enhance and improve their working conditions.

Skills and Competitiveness: Can Pakistan Break Out of the Low-level Skills Trap? (The Iqbal Memorial Lecture)

The paper argues that if Pakistan is to survive and prosper under the competitive conditions of the new global economy, then it must move away from its overwhelming dependence on “cottonomics” into more technology- and knowledge-based products where global growth is concentrated. For this to happen, it must break out of the “lowlevel skills trap”, which is the result of the very low levels of education and skills of its work force. It then poses the question whether the development of a well-educated and skilled labour force is sufficient for the country to graduate from labour-intensive to higher value-added, skill-intensive, technologically advanced sectors. The paper argues that while this is essential, the real challenge is to change the mind-set and develop institutions which recognise the value of investing in people and provide dignity, respect, and a fair deal for working men and women.

5 THE WEALTH SHIELD: A MICROSIMULATION OF INEQUALITIES, INHERITANCE AND THE IRISH FAIR DEAL

Abstract Background The article analyses the inequalities resulting from the long-term funding scheme in Ireland with a unique focus on intergenerational obligations. With the Fair Deal scheme of 2009, officially the Nursing Homes Support Scheme (NHSS), Ireland introduced a unique inheritance clawback clause. The state covers long term care costs for those in need up-front and claims the costs back from the estate after the older person deceases. The article focusses on the emerging income and wealth inequalities and intergenerational redistributive effects. Methods We estimate micro simulations to show the distributional effects based on income and housing wealth. The simulations are based on aggregate data from the Central Statistics Office, Nursing Homes Ireland, Eurostat and the European Central Bank. Each simulation estimates the individual contributions based on 50, 100, 150 and 200 percent of average income and wealth, while keeping either income or wealth constant at the average. Based on average nursing home fees, the simulations show the relative contributions from the state, income and wealth. These simulations are contrasted to the funding gaps of the old subvention scheme in place until 2009. Results The Fair Deal has expanded eligibility to the middle class and shields property wealth after three years. Nursing home residents with above average pension income and housing wealth benefit disproportionately from the reform and can pass on more relative wealth to their kin. Overall, the wealth distribution of the Fair Deal scheme is regressive, despite the inclusion of the middle class. Conclusion The increased eligibility of the fair deal has the benefit of increased legitimacy for the welfare state. However, considerable inequalities of risks exposure remain as less than 50 percent of older people will need nursing home care. Estimations for a long-term care insurance scheme at 3 percent social contributions would reduce the lifetime wealth contribution of nursing home residents by about 35 percent.

203 TRANSITIONS TO LONG-TERM CARE: EXPERIENCE OF A COHORT OF COMMUNITY-DWELLING OLDER ADULTS RECEIVING INTEGRATED CARE

Abstract Background Data from the Nursing Home support scheme 2018 (NHSS) shows the majority of applications to the NHSS come from acute hospitals (44%) followed by referrals from the community (38%). We examined this transition in a cohort of community dwelling older adults to assess how many transition from home to nursing home and, when admission to nursing home from hospital occurred, the indications for same. Methods Retrospective examination of Integrated Care Team (ICT) and Acute Hospital data from 2019 in respect of a cohort of older adults. Transitions in care to nursing home including residence at time of admission, last acute hospital presentation prior to nursing home admission and commencement of NHSS application recorded. Results 319 patients referred to the integrated care service in 2019, average age 81 and 58% female, predominantly from outpatient clinics in the Medicine for the Older Person’s service. 47 patients had moved to nursing home; within this cohort 14 (29.7%) transitioned from home, 28 (59.6%) transitioning after acute hospital admission. Main reasons for presentation to hospital were: Intercurrent acute illness (n=11); Falls (n=6); progression of dementia (n=4). Fair Deal application commenced in community by ICT in 20 of the 47 (42.5%) patients including 8 of 28 patients (28.5%) admitted to hospital prior to moving to nursing home. Conclusion This preliminary evaluation highlights the importance of advance care planning in this population when acute hospital admissions can be difficult to predict. Involvement of the ICT can help this transition and lead to shorter hospital stays.

15. Africa

International funding remains essential in Africa. In this context, the resounding success at the international level of the Central African Forest Commission’s participation at the twenty-sixth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Glasgow, United Kingdom, from 31 October to 12 November, under the theme Uniting the World to Tackle Climate Change, ‘is historically unique and now worthy of celebration in many ways, not least because the intended Fair Deal alliance has become a reality and a start has been effectively made through donor engagement.’ This ‘Fair Deal’ means, on the one hand, good forest governance, and, on the other hand, fair payment for the ecosystem services of the Congo Basin forests in the Global Climate Budget. It recognizes the fair share of funding and political commitment to Congo Basin ecosystems, commensurate with their overall value in terms of biodiversity and carbon sinks.

Sentimental Analysis of Industry 4.0 Perspectives Using a Graph-Based Bi-LSTM CNN Model

Today’s modern society mainly depends on Internet for every fundamental task in their life, like sharing thoughts, education, business, and Industry 4.0, etc. Internet has strengthened the base of society digitally. Searching for the reviews and comments for a particular product from the former or present customers has become compulsory for making decision or a purchase, helping them to make a fair deal of the product by view from social media on Industry 4.0. The increased use of data over Internet has led to rise of many e-commerce websites where people can buy things as per their requirement without even stepping out of their house using analysis of text using natural language techniques in Industry 4.0. The graph-based modelling of sentiment analysis classifier needs to divide the textual data into training dataset and testing dataset. First, preprocessing work is performed to improve the data reliability by removing unwanted information and fixing typing errors. To train the models, the whole dataset is used and to measure the classification performance of the categorized models 10-fold validation technique is being used. The paper proposes a combined hybrid model for sentiment analysis using CNN and independent bidirectional LSTM networks to enhance sentiment knowledge in order to address the issues mentioned for sentiment analysis. The proposed CNN model uses global max-pooling for retrieving context information and to downsample the dimensionality. Lastly, to acquire long term dependencies, a distinctive bidirectional LSTM is used. To emphasise each word's learning ability, parts-of-speech (PoS) are tagged in the LSTM layer. In addition, the regularization techniques, batch normalization, and dropout are used to prevent the overfitting issue. The proposed model is compared with a collaborative classifier with six classifiers and each of them predicts the sentiments separately, and the majority class prediction is taken under consideration. The proposed Bi-LSTM CNN model achieves an accuracy of 98.61% along with PoS tagging of the sentiments.

Optimization of Pollutant Discharge Permits, Using the Trading Ratio System: A Case Study

Water quality management of rivers is one of the challenges in the analysis of water resource systems. The optimal operation of the pollutant carrying capacity of these systems provides significant economic value and could reduce treatment costs. In this study, the application of the trading ratio system is investigated to control the cost of pollutants in a river and make a fair deal. In this regard, transfer coefficients between pollution sources, along with the trade coefficients, are determined, considering the system limitations and each pollutant’s contaminant impact. To provide allowable limits of river water quality concentrations, the total cost of all sources and the system is minimized, using the linear programming method. Finally, the new trading discharge permits are calculated for each source. The proposed method is successfully applied to Dez River as a case study. Results show that using a trading ratio system could maintain water quality at a standard level containing economic benefits for the participants of this program.

The Impact of Stigma on Forensic Psychiatric Patients - a Case Report

AimsThe Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Fair Deal (RCPsych 2008) highlighted the far-reaching impact of stigma and discrimination on the lives of people with mental illness. The pervading nature of stigma has been acknowledged in recent national and international mental health policies (WHO). The World Health Organisation reiterates people affected by mental illness should not suffer social exclusion and marginalisation due to stigma.MethodsA sixty-year-old gentleman presented to the Emergency Department following self-inflicted stabbing to the neck resulting in pharyngeal tear and surgical repair. Previous psychiatric history included inpatient admission on Section 2 following a major depressive episode. On this admission, inpatient psychiatric review elicited three months of psychotropic medication non-adherence due to difficulties the patient had encountered in acquiring repeat medications from his GP. He had relapsed into alcohol misuse as a coping mechanism culminating in a suicide attempt at home with a knife. Upon recommencing of sertraline and risperidone during admission, he was assessed as euthymic with low risk to self. The patient had been previously abstinent from alcohol and described religion as a protective factor. Prior to discharge, the patient's GP stated he must present to the surgery in person with a form of identification. This is despite CQC guidance stipulating practices should not refuse patients registration if proof of identity cannot be produced.ResultsThis case illustrates the socioeconomic factors increasing likelihood of suicide including forensic history, low financial status, unstable housing and lack of social support. Substance dependence is a risk factor that can be reduced by supporting patients in accessing specialist misuse input from inpatient and community teams. The patient reported fear of stigmatisation and criminalisation which led to the avoidance of seeking treatment, deterioration in mental health and severe clinical consequences. It is imperative marginalised patients with mental illness can access quality health care and this starts with GP registration.ConclusionForensic mental health patients experience multiple stigmas impacting on well-being including social, institutional and media stigmatisation and high levels of internalised stigma. The Time to Change campaign focused on changing attitudes and behaviour however evaluation illustrated difficulties in tackling this issue. Healthcare professionals should be mindful to avoid stigmatising language and actions to ensure fairness in care. There is a need for the medical profession to continue striving for a tangible shift in attitudes. Advocating for those with mental illness can enhance quality of life for vulnerable patient groups.

A Fair Deal? Justice in Dismissal in Australia

Against the historical backdrop of some protection against unfair dismissal at State level, this article explores the chequered path to ‘a fair go all round’ in Federal unfair dismissal protection for employees in Australia, initially through awards (and the foundation laid by the federal industrial tribunal) in 1984 to legislative provisions enacted by the Federal Parliament in 1993. The vicissitudes of the Federal statutory unfair dismissal regime are scrutinised: first its virtual dismantling by a conservative government in 2005 and then its revival by a Labor government in the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). The article analyses the nature of the unfair dismissal jurisdiction legislatively conferred on the industrial tribunal, protecting employees against ‘harsh, unjust or unreasonable’ dismissal. It argues that, while there is no clamour by employers or unions for a major overhaul of the unfair dismissal laws, legislative reform is required to promote more vigorously a ‘fair deal’ for Australian workers, especially for currently excluded categories of workers (such as gig workers and dependent contractors), and to improve access to justice in dismissal.

Rigidity of Caste System in India and the History of Religious Conversion: A Step Taken by the Sufferers in Order to Protect Their Self-Honour

This article tries to explore and analyse the sensibility and rigidity of caste system which is embedded deep into people’s psyche in India and has proved to be the stumbling block of social justice and human rights. The article also attempts to review the work of some of the scholars, which shows how opting for another religion gave the sufferers a chance of fair deal and opportunity to live with honour and self respect.
