THE MECHANISMS AGAINST THE ELECTRONIC CRIMES IN THE ALGERIAN PENAL CODE

The spread of modem technology and its uses that affected all the life aspects brought about positive and negative changes and transformations. Undoubtedly, the information revolution and the high techniques it is based on such as the computers and internet left positive effects and made a giant leap for the people’s and states’ lives thanks to the speed and exactitude of these systems. Moreover, these systems allow for storing information and exchanging them easily. Nevertheless, this technology led to many negatives such as the difficulty of achieving the information security due to the easy access to them, and the violation of information and their freedom.
 The technological advance and the spread of the modern communication tools brought about a new form of crimes called the electronic crime. Therefore, the Algerian Legislator intervened against it to provide penal protection for the information systems through making amendments on the penal code to make it respond to the criminal developments in the field of information and communication technologies ICT. Besides, He enacted new laws to guarantee the penal protection to the electronic transactions. In this context, our study shall focus on the protection imposed by the Algerian Legislator on the information systems in the penal code.
 Based on what was said, we raise the following questions: What is meant by the electronic crime? What are the mechanisms set against it by the Algerian Legislator in the penal code? To what extent did the Legislator succeed in fighting the electronic crime with all its forms and, thus, providing an effective penal protection to the information systems? This shall be answered through defining the electronic crime and showing its characteristics in the first chapter, and then identifying the mechanisms set by the Algerian Legislator in the Algerian penal code in the second chapter.

10-POINT RECOMMENDATION PACKAGE FOR EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION & PERFORMANCE IN A LEGALISED REMOTE WORKING ENVIRONMENT: A LITERATURE REVIEW

As the world went into a compelled lockdown in 2020-21as a result of the pandemic, remote working (flexibility to work from anywhere, anytime) came as a rescue for the survival of the companies and the employees during unprecedented times but it removed the boundaries between work and family, work and home, professional and personal routine etc (termed widely as ‘work boundary conflict’) which has created challenges to employees and management alike. Despite the challenges and the fading away of the pandemic in 2022-23, several companies especially the multinationals with work force across the world are considering having remote working as the norm in their ‘future of work’ model. It is in this context that ensuring motivation and productivity amongst employees in such a work-boundary conflict has become the key focus point for managements across the world. Managers need to quickly adapt to the changing work model and are in a befuddled state as to what is expected from them, how to steer their actions etc. This literature review focusses to identify the key issues faced due to teleworking (time lag in recognition, stress & anxiety for employees, social isolation, skewed appraisals, implementation barriers etc.) and comes up with a recommendation package to the management to ensure motivation and productivity amidst this paradigm shift. Key recommendations include autonomy to workers, use of modern communication tools, management by objectives, focus on emotional intelligence of employees, constant feedback to employees, re-defining training needs etc. Objective of this paper is to act as a ready reckoner for management personnel. This paper also identifies certain gaps in the past researches viz. lack of focus on industry-specific or generation specific attributes of teleworking, limited use of quantitative techniques etc. These raise certain interesting questions and opportunities for future research in this area.

Countering extremist ideologies: What are the synergies between the EU’s internal and external action?

Countering the propaganda of terrorist groups has gradually become a central focus of efforts to prevent terrorism. The aim is ultimately to prevent the dissemination of violent ideas that are likely to encourage a process of radicalisation, which, in turn, is conducive to terrorist action. This objective has attracted more attention given changes in terrorist modus operandi, marked in particular by the use of modern online communication tools to incite/glorify terrorist acts, to provide training for terrorist purposes or to recruit candidates around the world. The EU and its Member States are working on several fronts to tackle the different facets of the ideological allure of extremist groups. This article discusses the fight against extremist ideologies as a new major focus of the EU’s terrorism prevention policy. The aim will be to shed the light on this evolving priority while identifying possible synergies between internal and external efforts to counter extremist propaganda.

Rising Trends of Street Crime in Punjab

Crime is not the result of any single factor and so is the crime prevention which cannot be left to only one department. History of crime is as old as mankind and all crimes have socio-economic and psychological consequences for citizens. Amongst them crime against property has serious consequences for citizen safety and economic activity in any society. Street crimes which constitute major portion of crime against property has consistently increased in the province of Punjab in last few years. Street crime prevention is of great concern for the policy makers in general and police department in particular. Crime data in Punjab signifies that there is a sharp increase in street crimes in the province, but police department lack both resources and capacity to detect and investigate street crimes. As street crime has evolved over a period of time where offenders use modern communication tools and resort to violence, the state response has been found lacking. Various public policy initiatives against street crime in Punjab are mostly designed for controlling street crime and not for its prevention. The focus of these initiatives has remained on prevention through policing measures and increasing deterrence against crime. Despite all the challenges posed by street crime and offenders, some of the countries have successfully implemented strategies in prevention of street crimes. They have adopted a whole-of-system approach and handled the issue of street crimes not only from criminological perspective, but also as a social phenomenon. Various strategies adopted by these countries signify the importance of addressing various social factors contributing to rising trends of street crimes in urban centers. These initiatives not only increased the cost of committing crime for the offenders, but also worked on creating conditions where criminal offenders find it less lucrative to commit crime. Punjab has invested hugely in technological support to the police in Lahore but there is a dire need not only to replicate this model in all city district governments but addressing other social determinants of street crime. Street crime prevention require a focused approach and citizen safety should find priority in all these approaches.

Myasthenia gravis - a retrospective analysis of e-mail inquiries made to a patient organisation and specialized center to uncover unmet needs from patients and caregivers

Background and aimsMyasthenia Gravis requires expert treatment from specialized neurologists. In Germany, this treatment is mainly provided by 18 Integrated Myasthenia Centers (iMZ) accredited by the German Myasthenia Gravis Association (DMG). The DMG is a large and well-organized patient organisation that is regarded as a trusted source for disease-specific information. The aim of this study was to analyse the type of requests that each of these institutions receives in order to identify any potential unmet needs regarding the availability of advice for patients and caregivers. This data can then be used in further research to tailor modern digital communication tools to the specific needs of MG patients.MethodsCounselling requests sent via e-mail to both institutions were extracted for defined examination periods and divided into a period ‘before COVID-19 pandemic’ (01.07.2019–31.12.2019) and ‘during COVID-19 pandemic’ (01.07.2020–31.12.2020). Requests were then analysed using four main categories: medical requests, organisational issues, COVID-19 and social legislation inquiries.ResultsOne thousand seven hundred eleven requests for advice were addressed to DMG and iMZ Charité. Most inquiries directed to the DMG (47%; n = 750) were related to medical issues, most frequently to side effects of medications (n = 325; 20%) and questions about treatment (n = 263; 16%), followed by inquiries regarding organisational issues (26%; n = 412). About half of the inquiries (n = 69; 58%) to the iMZ Charité were related to medical issues and almost one in three inquiries concerned organisational issues (n = 37; 30%). About one in ten inquiries concerned socio-legal matters (iMZ: n = 7; 6% and DMG: n = 177; 11%). During the pandemic, COVID-19 related issues accounted for 8% (n = 6) of inquiries at iMZ, and 16% (n = 253) at DMG.ConclusionsMG sufferers have a high demand for timely advice. In the current setting, they address their requests to both iMZs and the DMG via e-mail. Our findings confirm that the DMG is highly trusted by patients and caregivers and is used to obtain second opinions. A relevant proportion of requests to the iMZ could be answered more effectively through standardized responses or improved process management. The implementation of modern digital solutions, including telemedicine, for communication between patient and specialist should be evaluated in further research.

Mitigasi Bencana Berbasis Pelestarian Kearifan Lokal Kentongan

Indonesia is one of the countries prone to natural disasters. This condition is inseparable from the geological location of Indonesia, which is at the confluence of two large plates of Eurasian and Indoaustralia. The result of the meeting. As a country with a high disaster risk, the Indonesian people must have the readiness and ability to deal with such disasters. One of the most important aspects of disaster risk reduction at the local level is the social capital that can be obtained from the cultural diversity of the Indonesian people through local wisdom. Local knowledge or can be referred to as local wisdom can be used by the community as one of the efforts in Disaster Risk Reduction. Local wisdom plays an important role in mobilizing community efforts to increase community resilience in dealing with disasters. The spirit of self-help community, mutual cooperation in preserving nature is one of the main assets in dealing with disaster risk. Local wisdom is an asset that can be managed in building a community-based disaster management system, especially at the disaster mitigation stage. This study is a literature study. This study was conducted by analyzing the literature related to disaster mitigation with local wisdom that is still being implemented in the community. Collecting data by reading, recording and processing data to understand the phenomena that occur. Concept analysis is carried out by synthesizing several articles to find the existence of local wisdom in disaster mitigation. The study aims to revive local wisdom of kentongan in the community in disaster mitigation efforts so as to reduce victims. Although the kentongan is categorized as a traditional communication tool like other things such as smoke, pigeons, and so on, it turns out that the kentongan is more able to survive and compete with the existence of modern communication tools that are far more advanced. This indicates that the kentongan still has "something" that is worth maintaining. Also, with some Javanese people who still use kentongan as a medium of communication in their environment.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND MODELS OF MIXED LEARNING IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN GEOGRAPHY

The article substantiates the relevance of the use of innovative technologies and models of blended learning in the educational process in geography, due to the systematic implementation of modern information and communication tools.
 Based on the analysis of scientific research, the essence of innovative technologies is revealed: "E-Learning", adaptive learning, virtual learning, differentiated learning, individualized learning, mobile learning, "cloud" learning, online storytelling, etc.
 It is pointed out that at the present stage, during the COVID-19 pandemic and the war, distance learning (distance learning), e-learning (e-learning), modular learning (m-learning) are effectively used in various educational institutions. Thanks to the development of e-learning, a new paradigm has emerged - blended learning, as one of the effective forms of studying various disciplines, including geography.
 It has been found that blended learning technology involves the integration of the best traditional and innovative (electronic and mobile) forms of learning, which create opportunities for students to learn independently, control their pace, time and place of study. Accordingly, blended learning means the transformation of the educational process and the change of traditional pedagogical approaches to the latest. However, blended learning is a relatively new approach in general secondary and higher education institutions in Ukraine, so it creates a number of objective and subjective problems related to its component, such as online learning.
 The factors that led to the accelerated pace of implementation of distance learning elements using information and communication technologies (ICT) in the study of geography are revealed and the advantages of using blended learning in the formation of geographical competencies are substantiated.
 Blended learning technology is ideal for the formation of geographical competencies, because, firstly: geography is characterized by extensive program material, which makes learning classes too "saturated", and much of it is easy enough for self-study remotely; secondly: the subject tends to clarity (maps, maps, drawings, illustrations, tables, statistical and graphic material, collections, models, devices, videos, presentations, etc., which are usually absent in the geographical office) and without computer technology it is simply impossible to do here today; third: geography is characterized by a high motivation to apply its content in different life situations and with a skillful combination of certain technological trends in the educational process increases the independent activity of subjects in search of truth and the formation of certain geographical competencies.
 Models of blended learning technology in general secondary and higher education institutions are characterized, namely: rotational model with its subspecies (rotation by stations, rotation by laboratories, "inverted" class, individual rotation); flexible model; model of independent mixing; virtually enriched model.
 It is stated that the most relevant cloud services are valuable for blended learning while studying geography at school: Google Drive, YouTube, Bloggers, Google Forms, Google Sites, Microsoft Sway. Their possibilities in the formation of key and subject competencies of students are revealed. Free learning management systems are named, namely: Acollab, ATutor, Claroline, Colloquia, DodeboLMS, Dokeos, ELEDGE, Ganesha, ILIAS, LAMS, LON-CAPA, LRN, MOODLE, OLAT, OpenACS, OpenCartable, OpenLMS, SAKAI, The Manhattan Classroom, which can be used by teachers and lecturers in the educational process of geography. Blogs of geography teachers are presented, which are characterized by a special structure, saturation of geographical content, pedagogical innovations.
 Keywords: learning technologies, blended learning, blended learning models, cloud services.

Does Learning Multidisciplinary Field of Biomedical Engineering Help Pandemic of COVID-19?

The global community has accelerated the spread of the virus. Medicine alone cannot solve the pandemic. Changes of lifestyle enabled by new technology helps to coexist with viruses. The academic field has been divided into each specialized field. Modern communication tools (internet and cloud databases), on the other hand, promote multidisciplinary academic fields. The multidisciplinary field is not just a collection of fields, but a fusion among fields. Many problems in global society cannot be solved by a single disciplinarian. The global society is waiting for a multi-disciplinarian. For students, it is not easy to find the way to learn a multidisciplinary field. This depends on the curriculum, the textbook, the learning team, and the teacher (the adviser). "Biomedical Engineering" is one of the multidisciplinary fields. It has many related fields: biology, medicine, informatics, and engineering. The topic includes case studies related to COVID-19 in 2020 (education for the undergraduate and the graduate courses in Japan and Thailand) based on the author's experiences: from cross cultural to symbiosis.

DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF PUBLIC MANAGERS

Summary. Problems of communication of public administration participants are typical for Ukrainian society. They are associated with a high level of public distrust in public authorities, insufficient professional level of public administration representatives, low level of coverage of the results of public administration’s interaction with the public on social networks and websites, low level of real access to information with its publication etc. This indicates the need to create new forms of communication with open, transparent, effective and high-quality dialogue between public authorities and the public. Today more and more attention is paid to the development of features and solving problems of establishing effective communications between public authorities and the public, defining the basic principles and directions of further improvement of these communications using modern communication technologies and tools of public dialogue. The aim of the article is to study the ways of development of communicative competence of public managers. The methodological basis of the study are methods of logical generalization, systems analysis and synthesis, observation. The article identifies the key positions of the theoretical justification of the concept of competencies in public administration. The hierarchical structure of communicative competence is studied. The basic elements of the communicative process are determined. The statistical data of the manager’s time spent on the communicative process with subordinates are described. The peculiarities of the socio-psychological forecast of the communicative situation in public administration are determined. The main functions of communication in the professional activity of the leader are investigated. The set of skills necessary for a modern leader to acquire communicative and executive skills is highlighted. It is proposed to develop the communicative potential of a modern public manager to perform on the basis of the unity of its three components: the communicative properties of personality (characterize the attitude to the way of communication, the development of the need for communication); communicative abilities (determine the activity and initiative in communication, emotional response to the state of the partner, the possibility of implementing an individual communication program); communicative competence (knowledge of norms and rules of communication, mastery of psychotechnics and technology in general).
