The application of mechanisms of social dialogue in alternative methods of resolving labour disputes

The article defines the legal characteristics of alternative methods of resolving labour disputes, considering their role within the mechanism of social dialogue as a guarantee of interaction and mutual understanding between the parties involved. It highlights the trend in the development of modern labour legislation towards increasing the significance of social dialogue mechanisms in resolving both individual and collective labour disputes, as well as fostering greater involvement of social dialogue participants in the resolution of these disputes. It emphasises that conciliation and mediation procedures should be applied under current conditions in resolving both rights-based and interest-based labour disputes. A critical analysis is presented of the legislative limitation that confines conciliation procedures solely to the development of draft regulatory acts. Alternative methods of resolving labour disputes are considered as a form of conciliation procedure. It is emphasised that alternative methods of resolving labour disputes offer the possibility for the parties to the dispute to independently resolve their disagreements through a joint decision or to involve an impartial third party, jointly authorising them to develop an acceptable resolution that both sides will recognise as binding. The author identifies the following alternative methods for resolving labour disputes: direct negotiations, conciliation through settlement procedures, mediation, and arbitration procedures. It is highlighted that appointing a labour dispute commission at a general meeting or conference of employees contradicts the principles of social dialogue established in Article 3 of the relevant Law of Ukraine. It is proposed that such a body be formed on the basis of social dialogue, comprising representatives of both employees and the employer. Functionally, the labour dispute commission should operate as a permanent conciliation body rather than a jurisdictional one. It is suggested to regulate the use of mediation for resolving labour disputes at the local level within a collective or employment agreement. Arguments are presented that mediation is a subtype of one form of social dialogue—namely, conciliation procedures—since it aims to reconcile the parties to a dispute and to find a mutually acceptable solution. Mediation can be used not only for resolving labour disputes but also during negotiations for the conclusion of collective agreements, particularly to address disagreements that may arise during the preparation of draft versions of such agreements.

The aporetic dialogues of Modena on gender differences: Is it all about testosterone? EPISODE I: CRIME.

This is the first episode of a series of four discussions on the differences between males and females, in apparently non-andrological fields. You will read the transcript of discussions that actually took place at the Endocrinology Unit in Modena, Italy, in the form of the aporetic dialogues of ancient Greece. In this episode, the role of testosterone in gender differences in criminal behavior will be explored. The discussants were divided into two groups: group 1, which supports the thesis of a predominant role of testosterone, and group 2, which opposes it. The first group affirmed that both endogenous testosterone and anabolic-androgenic steroids could trigger aggressive and criminal behavior, regardless of predisposition to psychiatric disease or sociocultural background. The second group asserted the multifactorial genesis of aggressive and criminal behavior, citing other hormonal and non-hormonal factors, such as neurotransmitters, cortisol, and sociological and psychological aspects. In the end, a forensic physician, acting as a referee, tried to resolve the aporia: are the two theories equivalent or one is superior?

Stychomytia w oczach scholiastów. Charakterystyka i analiza komentarzy do wersów 414-420 eurypidesowego "Orestesa"

The purpose of this article is to compile and discuss the scholia for a specific form of dialogue used in ancient drama, which is the stichomytia. The paper will use the example of the stichomytia from Euripides’ Orestes to discuss the nature of this type of dialogue and the issues the scholiasts raised in this context. The authors present translations of the scholia and discuss the nature of the scholiasts’ commentaries, many of which are paraphrases of the text of the drama.

Social dialogue in professional sports in Europe: towards democratic governance between the European Sport Model and national industrial relations?

ABSTRACT Integrated into a comparative approach across twenty European countries, this article conceptualises, maps, and analyses social dialogue outcomes in the governance of professional sports in Europe. Results derived from an online data collection among key stakeholders and subsequent document analysis show that social dialogue is increasingly practiced, yet still a rare phenomenon in this emerging economic sector. While public authorities are largely excluded, actor constellations underpinning the adoption of SD outcomes and the employment and social issues addressed by them are diverse. In the absence of transnational harmonisation, large differences across countries, types of sports, and gender prevail. Linear and logistical regression models suggest that key characteristics of national industrial relations systems such as collective bargaining coverage rates (using data from the OECD and Eurofound) rather than the specific configuration of national sport policy systems are associated with the (non-)existence of social dialogue outcomes in professional sports. This study advances the international labour rights-based discourse on innovative forms of social dialogue in sport policy making and discusses the implications of the diffusion of industrial democracy for the concept of a European Sport Model and the European integration process.

The Effect of Audio Visual Media on the Skills of Translating Negotiation Text from Dialogue Form to Narrative Form of Phase E Students of UN P Laboratory Development High School

This research aims to elucidate the impact of audiovisual media on the skills of Phase E students at the UNP Laboratory Development High School in converting negotiation texts from dialogue to narrative form. The study adopts a one-group pretest-posttest design, with a sample consisting of 31 students from Phase E1. Data collected include the students' scores in converting negotiation texts from dialogue to narrative form, assessed both before and after the implementation of audiovisual media. The findings indicate the following: First, prior to the use of audiovisual media, the students' average skill score was 70.16, placing it within the 66-75% range, which is classified as more than adequate (LdC). Second, following the use of audiovisual media, the average score increased to 80.38, within the 76-85% range, corresponding to a good qualification (B). Third, the use of audiovisual media was found to have a significant effect on the students' skills in converting negotiation texts, as evidenced by a tvalue that exceeds the critical ttable value (4.19 > 1.70). This research contributes valuable insights into the application of audiovisual media in educational contexts and underscores the importance of technology in enhancing the quality of Indonesian language instruction. The results provide a foundation for educators to develop more effective and interactive pedagogical strategies in the future.

Walking and mapping methodologies: creative explorations of people’s relationships with space

This discussion note reflects on the experiences of collaborating to produce a hybrid workshop on walking and mapping methodologies (author 1 & author 2, 2023) building on research, scholarship and teaching in this area that we, the authors, have been undertaking over the past decade. The workshop explored how walking and mapping might be used in educational settings, in particular multilingual and transnational environments in higher education institutions. It brought together multidisciplinary perspectives on ‘space’, drawing on creative inquiry and applied linguistics, linguistic landscapes, and social geography. Our workshop was aimed at anyone with interests in creative approaches to research, particularly those engaged with participants’ lives and interactions within, across, and through space; and we intended to examine the challenges and opportunities of these approaches, including applications in their own research, scholarship and teaching. Here we outline the processes and thinking behind them, in the form of a two-part dialogue. We raise questions for researchers and educators about boundaries between research, teaching and scholarship, in addition to how walking and mapping methodologies might be critically engaged with in higher education.

Strategi Komunikasi Partisipatif Pemerintahan Desa Dalam Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Perbatasan RI-PNG

Mosso is a village located in between Indonesia - Papua New Guinea border. It is often known for its difficulty. In reaching government's efforts to empower the community through the use of village funds can make a positive contribution to the progress of the Mosso Village community. So it is necessary to develop communication strategy to empower the community by utilizing of village fund allocation that can increase community participation. The theory used in studying the results of this research is the development communication theory. The methods used in this study are descriptive qualitative research and data analysis techniques using Miles and Huberman models, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verifying (verification). The results of this study show that the village government's communication strategy has not been maximized in increasing community participation through utilizing empowerment programs, this is marked by 1). The communication that has occurred so far has been more monologic/directive in nature, communication has not led to a form of dialogue with the community, 2). The weak process of supporting the empowerment program consistently by the village government, starting from the planning, implementation, to evaluation stages.

The Representation of Skepticism in Don’t Look Up Film: An Overview of Current Environmental Issue

This article explores the representation of skepticism in the film "Don't Look Up," highlighting its commentary on contemporary environmental issues. Through a satirical lens, the film portrays the tension between scientific evidence and societal indifference, revealing the complexities of public perception regarding climate change and ecological crises. The purpose of this study is to analyze the signs that represent skepticism in the film. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research using the semiotic theory of Pierce (1906) which consists of representation (sign), object, and interpretation. The researchers found types of representation in the form of 3 types of quali-sign, 15 sin-sign, and 2 legi-sign. The objects in the form 4 types of icons, 13 types of indexes, and a symbol. The interpretation in the form 17 of argument type. The signs that represent skepticism can be found in scenes in the form of dialogue, attributes, movements, and expressions. The film also represented that skepticism has a negative side towards the environment. In addition, this film represents that skepticism can be carried out in all aspects of social circles such as government, media, and society. The film serves as a critical reflection of current attitudes toward environmental challenges, emphasizing the dangers of misinformation and the necessity for collective action. Ultimately, this exploration underscores the film's relevance in stimulating discourse on the urgent need for recognition and response to the climate crisis, encouraging audiences to reconsider their roles in fostering awareness and advocacy in the face of skepticism.

Legislative regulation of relations social dialogue

The article analyses the Laws of Ukraine in the field of social dialogue relations and explores ways to harmonize and/or improve their provisions, which would enhance the guarantees of interaction and mutual understanding between the parties involved in such dialogue. The main provisions regarding social dialogue, particularly those concerning the resolution of collective labour disputes and labour mediation, should be enshrined in the fundamental regulatory act in the field of labour relations - the Labour Code of Ukraine (or a codified act that may replace it). The article provides a characterization of the Laws of Ukraine that are interconnected with the Law of Ukraine «On Social Dialogue in Ukraine» on issues concerning the subjects of such legal relations, including those that define the participation of executive authorities and local self-government bodies in social dialogue relations, as well as relevant draft laws. It also presents the provisions of the Law of Ukraine «On Trade Unions, Their Rights and Guarantees of Activity» that require harmonization with the fundamental regulatory act on social dialogue, as they limit its scope concerning the participation of trade unions/ their associations in social dialogue relations. It is proposed to address the identified inconsistencies by aligning them with the fundamental legislation on social dialogue. Attention is drawn to the contentious status of local self-government bodies as subjects of social dialogue due to the combination of partnership and accountability. It is noted that the Law of Ukraine «On the Procedure for Resolving Collective Labour Disputes» regulates the stages of resolving collective labour disputes, one of which is conciliation procedures. This procedure corresponds to the forms of social dialogue defined in the Law of Ukraine «On Social Dialogue in Ukraine». Therefore, there is a need to substantively synchronize the legislative rules of conciliation procedures during the resolution of collective labour disputes with the norms of legislation on social dialogue. Arguments are presented that labour mediation is one form of social dialogue: 1) it involves the interaction of parties in an out-of-court, structured procedure aimed at preventing conflicts, conducted through negotiations; 2) the scope of the Law of Ukraine «On Mediation» includes relations related to conducting mediation to prevent potential conflicts (disputes) or to resolve any existing conflicts (disputes), including labour disputes. It is concluded that the Law of Ukraine «On Social Dialogue in Ukraine» should be harmonized with the Law of Ukraine «On Mediation» regarding the definition of forms of social dialogue.

Social dialogue as a contractual tool for regulating the right to work

The essence of social dialogue as a legal phenomenon has been analysed, with one of its main objectives being the implementation of contractual legal regulation of labour and social rights through reconciliation and compromises. Attention is drawn to international interest in the application of social dialogue procedures within the legal mechanism for ensuring the labour and social rights of workers. Focus is given to the form of social dialogue involving collective bargaining for the conclusion of collective agreements and contracts. The study provides a detailed analysis of certain conclusions made by the European Committee of Social Rights regarding reports from the member states of the European Social Charter (revised) on the compliance of their national legislation with the provisions of this Charter. Certain aspects of the implementation of the right to collective bargaining, enshrined in Article 6 §2 of this international treaty, are highlighted. Attention is drawn to the fact that if an industry agreement includes provisions allowing for the non-application of some of its clauses - thereby initiating a mechanism that restricts the right to work for individuals covered by this agreement or complicates the procedures for exercising the right to work - clear contractual legal conditions for applying these norms must be established. The parties to the industry agreement must define the conditions and procedures under which such a non-application clause may be invoked. The article examines the limitations of this right within the context of wage regulation. It is noted that if a collective agreement or contract has been duly concluded by the subjects of contractual regulation, any unilateral interference with its provisions can only be justified by the need to protect the rights of other workers or safeguard public interests, national security, public health, etc. The importance of improving collective contractual regulation of labour relations through mechanisms of social dialogue is emphasized, as the anticipated reform of labour legislation foresees an expansion of labour and social rights, which will need to be defined in collective agreements and contracts. The issue of the representativeness of the parties involved in social dialogue is addressed through an analysis of innovations in Ukrainian labour legislation.

Risks of Institutionalization of the Central Asia-China Format for Solidarity and Political Trust in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization

The article considers the risks of institutionalizing the format of the Central Asia-China dialogue («C+C5») for solidarity and mutual political trust within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). According to the documents, institutionalization is aimed at transforming the «C+C5» format into a full-fledged international intergovernmental organization with functions that duplicate the existing ones within the SCO. In the current official documents, Russia declares the importance of SCO development and assigns it a special role in the implementation of the «Turn to the East» Policy, the development of the «Greater Eurasian Partnership », and the deployment of the project of «the North-South International Transport Corridor». In this regard, further institutionalization of the «C+C5» format may create restrictions for the realization of these Russian plans and even for the protection of interests in the Central Asian region (CAR). This circumstance, coupled with the active attempts of the West and the United States to force a number of CAR countries to refuse Russia’s assistance in circumventing the sanctions regime is unlikely to be understood in Moscow. This means that it is necessary to think about the ways to overcome the likely limitations by deepening the dialogue with China on the issues of further development of the SCO and increasing its effectiveness. The plans to institutionalize the «C+C5» format may also cause increased opposition from other major global «players» such as the United States, India, the EU and Japan, which have been actively involved in Central Asian Affairs in recent years, developing formats for dialogue between «1 + C5» (CAR countries).

Harnessing the Power of Gaming to Influence Policies Addressing Climate Change

In this paper, the authors present the findings of an empirical case study examining the efficacy of the Games Realising Effective & Affective Transformation (GREAT) Case Study design process. The process is underpinned by an established Mixed Methodological Research (MMR) framework for eliciting the preferences of gamers and determining their priorities in climate change policies. Funded by the Horizon Europe programme, the GREAT Project examines the impact and affordances of games for social engagement. The project explores the innovative potential of games as new forms of dialogue between citizens and policy stakeholders. The games are used as tools for players to express their preferences and actively shape policy issues. We present the first case study on this approach, which is one of ten to be undertaken with various partners over the next two years to test and validate the methodology, investigate its potential, and present findings. In partnership with the popular PC & Console game Smite, by the Hi Rez, game development studio. The study involved stakeholders’ participation in the co-creation of research questions, designed to influence the prioritisation of future climate policies. The activity was embedded the Smite game playing community via the Playmob platform in January 2024 and engaged over four thousand active players with a completed response rate of 58 %. Quantitative analysis of the data collected during this period will be presented by the authors. In summary, the engagement in and completion rates of the activity were high, validating the initial GREAT project approach. The methodological approach and the substantive data sets produced are of interest to any organisation considering engaging diverse groups active in gaming communities in the political process, including NGOs and policymakers. The project and methodology applied is at the core of this paper.

An Archaeology of Disability: A Dialogic Essay

An Archaeology of Disability is a research station designed for the Venice Biennale, Architettura 2021 by David Gissen, Jennifer Stager, and Mantha Zarmakoupi and exhibited later at La Gipsoteca di Arte Antica of Pisa in 2022, at the Canellopoulos Museum of Athens in 2023, and at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki in 2024. The research station works with languages and forms used by contemporary disabled people to reproduce elements—a ramp, a seat, an art gallery—from the ancient Acropolis in Athens that vanished long ago and that have little or no extant material forms. Among the many people who contributed to the research station are two performers, Christopher Tester and Pia Hargrove, who performed, respectively, the ekphrastic film and audio description Sēmata (Signs) (2021). The following dialogic essay draws on conversations with the curators and performers led by Brooke Holmes and Pasquale Toscano. This dialogic form surfaces some of the collaborative aspects of the research station to highlight the ways in which such collaboration brings different lenses to antiquity.

A escena contra el ejercicio de poder a través del cuerpo: el pelo en la búsqueda de la libertad.

This article explores the complex relationship between the body, identity, and territory, focusing on how social and cultural pressures exert control over the body, specifically through the lens of hair and its symbolic power. Using a dialogue format, the authors reflect on their personal experiences with societal expectations regarding appearance and discuss how these seemingly minor decisions are deeply influenced by broader structures of power and control. The body is presented not only as a physical entity but also as a symbolic and cultural space where norms, gender, and power dynamics intersect. The text further analyzes how capitalism and contemporary digital spaces reinforce these mechanisms, while also highlighting the importance of resistance and personal autonomy in constructing identity.

Communication: concept, essence, content

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the essence and content of communication, which, being an element of social interaction, ensures the transmission and exchange of information in various spheres of human activity. The analysis of linguistic, socio-psychological, activity, cultural, informational and semiotic approaches carried out in the article made it possible to understand the diversity of ideas about communication, to formulate a more complete idea of its essence and content. It also made it possible to identify inaccuracies and discrepancies in the understanding of the concept of communication, which is important for further development and clarification of the theoretical and applied aspects of this problem, and will also contribute to the development of recommendations on the formation of effective interaction and dialogue, reducing misunderstandings, avoiding conflicts and improving the quality of relations, including and legal. The article analyzes the key components of communication. Special attention is paid to its essence, which consists in creating and maintaining social relationships. It plays an important role in the formation of social consciousness, cultural identity and social integration. Communication ensures the coordination of actions and decision-making, promotes the exchange of knowledge and experience, as well as the formation of public opinion. Emphasis is placed on the fact that, by its very nature, it is a multifaceted and dynamic process, covering various aspects of interaction between people. Such interactions include verbal and non-verbal means of communication, emotional and rational components, and social and cultural contexts. It contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage and adaptation to changes in society. It is substantiated that the main purpose of communication is the transfer and exchange of information, knowledge, emotions and ideas to achieve mutual understanding. It was found that the content of communication includes informational, emotional, motivational and evaluative aspects. Informational content refers to facts, data, and knowledge that are conveyed during communication. The emotional aspect reflects the emotional state of subjects and affects their perception of information. The motivational aspect is related to the intentions and goals that drive communication. The evaluative aspect includes the evaluation of information and the reaction to it, which determines the course of communication and the subsequent behavior of subjects.

Strategies of Social Persuasion Against Hussitism

This contribution investigates the different strategies and methods of cultural and social persuasion against the Hussite reformation employed by an important member of the University of Vienna, Peter of Pirchenwart (d. 1436). During his career he used various oral and written means against the “new” heresy: sermons to the people, university lectures, theological commentaries, and short treatise. Different types of audiences were targeted in two cultural centres and key sites of anti-Hussite propaganda in the city of Vienna: the Faculty of Theology and St Stephen’s Church, both connected to the Ducal Court. Here I am going to discuss five unedited texts produced by him: the commentary on the Book IV of the Sentences; the biblical commentary on the Gospel of John, containing two anti-heretic sections, one of which is known to the catalogues under the eloquent title of De religione militari contra Hussitas; the short treatise Determinatio contra Hussitas; and two sermons delivered in 1423 and 1431. In these texts, the dimension of violence (both verbal and physical) is present as a recurring motif and substantial theme; one of Pirchenwart’s primary aims, in fact, is precisely to justify the extermination of heretics, without any form of negotiation or dialogue. Through these case studies I will highlight some of the ways in which the heresy was addressed locally (the city of Vienna), at the intersection of intellectual production and the construction of the collective imaginary.

ASEAN Defence Ministers MeetingPlus: Institutional structure, specific features, and evolution (2010–2022)

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is one of the key multilateral structures in Asia-Pacific. Throughout its history, the organization has established a system of external partnerships. In 2010, a specific security-related dialogue format has been introduced into this system, — the ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus). In order to provide a better understanding of the legal nature of the ADMM-Plus as an international grouping, and to discuss the dynamics of its evolution, as well as the practical results of its work, this paper examines the Meeting’s activities in the recent years (2010 to 2022) and identifies the stages of its institutional development. The author notes that, unlike other similar fora, ADMM-Plus has a strictly limited number of participants. It could seem counterproductive, however, both ASEAN and its dialogue partners keep up to the closed nature of the grouping, beware of the potential contradictionsincaseofitsexpansion.Theauthoralsoconductsthediscourse analysis of the ADMM-Plus documents and member statements, highlighting +-the views of the participants and identifying the current international positioning of the forum. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes that, in the context of the fundamental changes in the world order, ASEAN has proven its ability to control the sensitive agenda of the ADMM-Plus, and stays committed to its principles of multi-faceted policy. At the same time, the affinity of Russian and ASEAN approaches towards the development of Asia-Pacific is displayed. While other dialogue partners, primarily the United States and China, are pressurising ASEAN in order to ‘win over’ the Southeast Asian countries to their side, Russia consistently promotes an equal, practice-oriented dialogue, and adheres to the principles of non-interference in internal affairs and in local conflicts. The author concludes that, in spite of the low-profile practical achievements of the ADMM-Plus, the Meeting remains suitable for all its participants, as the main effect of its activity represents the maintenance of contacts and negotiations in the defence area in the face of the new regional security challenges.

Christianity and reverential naturalism engage a world in peril: A dialogue between disciplines.

Christian theologians and ostensibly secular sociologists of religion rely on different resources to respond to personal, local, or global problems. The environmental crises we see around the world reflect a strict hierarchy between human beings and the natural world. In both the theological and social scientific arenas of the last few decades, however, we see an 'animal turn' that exposes the hubris of anthropocentrism and creates opportunities for new ways of writing and teaching about the natural environment. Using the Pacific Northwest's 'reverential naturalism' as a touchstone, the authors reflect on the extent to which their respective fields prepare secular scholars and theologians to address the crises all animals - including humans - now face. Using a dialogue format, they explore whether theological and social scientific regimes of truth and knowledge are incommensurable. What might this mean for the region and the two fields out of which they authors emerge?
