Normative rules for the obligations of international cooperation in criminal matters to combat terrorism

International cooperation in its criminal dimension in combating terrorism is launched to achieve a vital goal, which is to prevent "Avoiding from Punishment” and not providing a safe haven for terrorists in which to be safe from criminal prosecution for terrorist acts committed. Those involved it which constitute a violation of human values and international peace and security, and for the sake of which all parties have been strengthened the concerned countries. In this regards, the United Nations and regional organizations will make their efforts to confront these transnational crimes where its gravity transcends barriers of sovereignty and the sole interest of the victim state or individuals to the common interest for the international community as a whole, its stability and its basic values. These international efforts have manifested themselves in the outright criminalization of terrorist acts in international conventions, which formed standard rules for the conduct of states in their subsequent fight against terrorism at various global, regional and sub-regional levels, supported by the position of the United Nations, which it announced in the direct condemnation of the Security Council for terrorism and the need to deter and defeat it with concerted cooperation among states in decision by (1373) in 2001, and with the unified strategy of the General Assembly that it adopted to combat terrorism in the year 2006, emphasizing the obligations that fall mainly on states regarding to prevention and suppression to confront terrorism. Among these, the most important of which is international cooperation based on the principle known as "either surrender or trial", to be complemented also by another form of cooperation, which is the provision of legal aid, including the provision of legal aid, and here states must remove the obstacles that stand in the way of an effective investigation of international cooperation in criminal matters. Resulting from reasons related to the legal approach taken by states with regard to activating the rules of international law, whose effect applies to cooperation In terms of combating terrorism or because of conditions related to the same crime in which cooperation is requested, or the person sought for terrorist crimes, being a refugee or enjoying immunity, being one of the officials of the state in which collaboration is requested.

Evaluating Rules for Aggregating Satisfaction with Activity-travel Episodes to a Day-level Satisfaction Measure

The recent interest in developing subjective wellbeing aggregation rules in transport research has triggered dialogue across disciplines. Here we analyze how 10 different aggregation rules result in different day-level indicators of satisfaction based on separate measures for each activity and trip on the day and compare the resulting distribution of day-level scores with those for life satisfaction. We find that the normative rules outperform the heuristic rules and are best used to create day-level indicators of satisfaction with activities and trips if the aim is to mimic the statistical distribution for life satisfaction scores.

A Novel Model for Risk Regulations in the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry

AbstractIncreasing interest from stakeholders has brought about a new emphasis on risk regulation in the oil and gas industry. Our basis for this work is the offshore oil and gas industry, which is composed of major operators, entrepreneurs and contractors working globally, but we focus on Norwegian and US activities. The fundamental strategies, institutions, legal traditions and explanations of regulation are reviewed and, together with empirical data, a novel model with the means of identifying “effective” regulation has been developed. The model presented here incorporates three dimensions: the industry’s intentions; their resources and expertise and trust in the regulator (and vice versa: the regulator’s trust in the industry); and the space where functional respective normative rules are deemed most effective.

Mediated Encounters in Autistic Spectrum Disorder: From the Material to the Digital

Mediated Encounters in Autistic Spectrum Disorder: From the Material to the Digital Lucy Osler*, PhD (bio) Research on autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly describes autistic individuals as displaying: i) a preoccupation with the world of objects and ii) a withdrawal or detachment from the world of subjects. In her insightful and persuasive article, Sofie Boldsen argues that we should not fall into the trap of viewing the world of objects and the world of subjects in isolation from one another. Drawing from her qualitative and phenomenological study on social interaction in ASD, Boldsen urges us to recognize how interacting with material objects can scaffold, facilitate, and regulate different forms of social connectedness in ASD. In doing so, the distinction between the “social” and “non-social” dimensions of ASD is problematized, and a robustly situated and embedded understanding of ASD is presented. Excerpts from both observational and interview-based data are used to illustrate ways in which social interaction in ASD is mediated via interaction with the material world. Line and Helene engage with one another through their mutual attention to a guitar; Ina and Viola dance together, guided by a virtual dance partner; Hanna and Mads connect while playing a board game. Boldsen argues that through engagement with material aspects of the environment various social possibilities are opened; social possibilities that are importantly experienced as less uncertain and overwhelming. Boldsen suggests two ways in which material mediation regulates and grounds social interaction. First, through their sensible nature, objects can scaffold social co-ordination and attunement. The rhythmic structure of music, for example, is socially supportive; it entrains our bodily movements both in time with the music and, in turn, with others also dancing. As such, the music provides a shared structure in which bodily movement and attunement unfolds, guiding and delineating when and how to act. Second, Boldsen highlights how objects can make normative rules and expectations explicit. As such, they not only provide a structure which shapes the spatio-temporal [End Page 209] dynamic of an interaction but facilitate an understanding of how to act appropriately in a particular situation. Board games, for instance, come with a clear set of rules about turn-taking and actions. This brings a confidence about what to do oneself, as well as making the actions of others predictable, thus helping to alleviate the pervasive uncertainty that many autistic individuals experience in social situations. Using material objects is an efficient and effective way of grounding a social interaction in a specific framework that not only makes appropriate forms of interaction more salient, but importantly reduces the kinds of action that might arise. Engaging in a specific materially mediated activity, then, carves out a more manageable space of meaning in the world. Indeed, we might be reminded, here, of Alfred Schutz’s notion of “finite provinces of meaning” (Schutz, 1962). Schutz describes how we can enter certain worlds which operate along their own codes of conduct and logic (e.g., the world of theater, poetry, games). In such worlds, aspects of the everyday world are temporarily rendered irrelevant or non-salient and meaning is constituted within the limited framework of that particular world. If the everyday world is experienced as overwhelming and chaotic, entering the explicitly codified world of, say, a game might be experienced as a relief. Note, though, that material objects offer up different styles and structures of mediated engagement. This point could be made more explicit in Boldsen’s analysis. Music prompts a different rhythmic interaction and set of normative expectations than playing a board game together. Even within the sub-category of games, different games promote very different forms of social engagement—think of the difference between playing chess (a game with highly structured moves, sometimes a specified response time, and which structurally unfolds in a near-identical manner across games and players) and a role-playing game like Dungeons & Dragons (a game with more diverse and creative game styles that alters across games and players). I am, therefore, left curious about the differences between materially mediated social encounters. To use the Schutzian terminology, it would be interesting to explore how different finite provinces of meaning and engagement are created...

Ethics of Internet Use (Digital Netiquette) in UU ITE Perspective: Building a Courteous Digital Culture in the Era of Digital Transformation

The flow of globalization and the development of industry 4.0 is experiencing an acceleration phase which ultimately creates a new order, namely the era of digital transformation in life that does not only touch aspects of science and technology but also aspects of the socio-cultural and spiritual aspects of society. However, in its development the Internet is now experiencing problems such as problems with access to the Internet and interactions and social expressions that are less polite and ignore the ethics that have been upheld and have become the identity of the Indonesian people who are known for their good manners. Therefore, it is necessary to use etiquette or netiquette in using the Internet which basically, netiquette or Internet ethics (digital netiquette) is a guideline to behave in accordance with the normative rules that exist in the Internet environment. Internet ethics is a mandatory part that must be considered by Internet users in addition, Internet ethics is a code of ethics that applies in the Internet community. In addition to ethics, in Indonesia there is an Electronic Information and Transaction Law (bahasa: Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE)) which regulates how interactions, communications, and transactions must be carried out via the Internet and sanctions if violated, so as to create a climate of Internet ethics (digital netiquette) in building a polite digital culture in the era of digital transformation.

European administration of consular protection

This paper seeks to review the evolution of consular protection management in the European Union. The process of Europeanisation has reached its current profile through three stages of evolution and we are likely to see further institutionalisation, with several available alternatives. The historical analysis outlines the rationale for a further process of Europeanisation in the light of changes in the legislative powers of the EU, exploring the nature of legal regulatedness and aligning it with the development of fundamental rights, and presents a prognosis for the next stage of development in the light of experience to date. The research findings, based on an analysis of normative rules of various origins, regulatory and binding, preparatory documents, official statistics and reports as primary sources, and literature on specific aspects of the subject, also suggest that an effective consular protection policy will require changes in the tasks and competences in the next development stage. The existing consular enforcement apparatus in the Member States should be better integrated with the network of EU delegations, at least for some of the specified consular protection tasks. This raises further regulatory issues, but it is undeniable that the Europeanisation of consular protection administration is moving in this direction.

Analisis Yuridis Putusan Hakim Atas Pembatalan Perkawinan Akibat Suami Memalsukan Status Jejaka

<p>This study aims to determine the decision of the Religious Court Judge on the annulment of marriage due to the husband falsifying the status of a boy using Case Number: 686/pdt.G/2021 /PA.KIS) and to find out the consequences of the Religious Court Judge's decision on the cancellation of marriage due to the husband's status using the Case Number: 686/pdt.G/2021/PA.KIS).

Tinjauan Maqāșid Al-Sharī’ah Terhadap Dispensasi Nikah

The age limit for marriage contained in the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974 which is also mentioned in the Compilation of Islamic Law is the result of ijtihad, although in classical literature it is not found. The age limit itself is an attempt to avoid damage. On the other hand, the law provides leeway for prospective brides who are still under the age limit to request dispensation through the Religious Courts. In this regard, of course, judges are required to decide wisely without violating the Shari'a. This research is focused on Maqāșid al-Sharī'ah's review of marriage dispensation. With the emphasis of this study, this study uses the Maqāșid al-Sharī'ah approach. Meanwhile, according to the emphasis of the study, this research is classified as a normative rule research. Meanwhile, if observed according to the data collection operations studied, it is included in the category of library research (library study). Considering that this research belongs to the category of normative rule research in the form of library research, the research framework is classified as qualitative using a flow of thought and an inductive-deductive work pattern. The results of the study indicate that the dispensation in its implementation is divided into three, first; prospective partner who is not old enough and has never had sex, second; the potential partner is under the legal age, has had sex, but is not pregnant. both according to the perspective of Maqāșid al-Sharī'ah are not allowed to give permission for dispensation, and the third, namely the prospective partner who has not reached the age, has had sex and is pregnant, according to the perspective of Maqāșid al-Sharī'ah it is better to give permission for kawi dispensation.

Polygraphic Study of Parameters of Subjective Perception of Norms and Humanization of Punishment by Residents of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra

The problem of determining the measure of criminal punishment has always worried the general public. It is the measure of punishment that largely determines the effectiveness of the system of legal regulation of relations in society, the normative rules of the hostel and mutual influence. In such a process, territorial, social, professional, cultural, ethnic and other characteristics of the population of our country are of decisive importance. In the minds of every person, in the process of legal socialization, their own ideas about the norms of criminal punishment are formed. The study of the psychological parameters of the subjective perception of the norms of criminal punishment, through the determination of the limits of their humanization, seems to be an interesting and important task of studying the designated problem. The object of the study is the residents of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Yugra, the subject is the subjective perception of the norms of criminal law and the processes of humanization of criminal punishment. Data were obtained on differences in subjective perceptions of the norms of criminal punishment and the limits of their humanization. Statistically significant differences are determined by gender, age, national-ethnic groups of respondents. The regularity of differently directed values of the limits of criminal punishment by age groups is revealed.

Recognition, Measurement, Presentation and Disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Costs PT. Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero)

The study aims to determine and analyze the application of corporate social responsibility accounting at PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero). This research is qualitative with a descriptive analysis approach. The results of the study indicate accounting practices (recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure) of the costs of corporate social responsibility by PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) are under the Basic Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (KDPPLK). PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) already has a specific financial report that refers to SAK ETAP, which is oriented to the non-profit sector by establishing a Small Business and Cooperative Development Unit, which is now called the Partnership and Community Development Program Unit (PKBL) which has been edited by Public accounting firm. There are no normative rules related to the cost accounting for CSR and the importance of environmental and social factors, so the findings of this study have practical implications for other business actors who should have their own business units that focus on social and environmental aspects.

Prescribing and medication use for symptom control in palliative care: stakeholder engagement within an activity theory study

Abstract Introduction People with palliative care needs often use prescription medication to achieve symptom control. Prescribing and medication use are complex, multi-step processes influenced by prescribers, patients, carers, and contexts. They are shaped by historically established divisions of labour and normative rules. However, in the care of palliative patients, approximately 20% of NHS serious incident reports involve prescription medications with causes and contributing factors poorly understood (1). Understanding the mismatches between what is intended to happen and what is experienced in practice is key to improving safety and confidence in palliative care. Phase one of this study focuses on how the processes of prescribing and medication use are intended to happen, and comprises stakeholder engagement (presented here) and a scoping review. Aim To develop a model of intended processes of prescribing and medication use for symptom control in palliative care across the contexts of home, hospital, and hospice. Methods Stakeholder engagement was undertaken with a purposive sample of participants who had an interest in, or direct experience of, palliative medications. Invitations to participate were sent to professional networks and a patient and public involvement group. Informal conversations with a topic guide including known steps in the processes of prescribing and medication use were held either via video-call (recorded with permission) or by email. Conversations were examined for content relating to steps in the processes, and for themes that ran across multiple steps. An iterative cycle of listening, identifying steps, theme attribution and development of an intended processes model was undertaken with each recording. Results Twenty video and one email conversations were conducted with 7 family carers, 4 pharmacists/pharmacy researchers, 4 specialist palliative care professionals, 3 non-clinical researchers and 3 general practitioners. Different steps in the intended processes of prescribing and medication use at home and in hospital were identified. Themes of decision-making, prescribing, monitoring/supply, use/administration, and stopping/disposal were all represented. Further themes of deprescribing, anticipatory medicines, and contexts of practice - including out-of-hours care - were all raised. The processes model that resulted was not linear and incorporated complex feedback loops that facilitated ‘tinkering’, safe-to-fail experiments, and negotiations balancing ‘gut feeling’ with protocols and patients’ wishes. Conclusion Engaging with carer and professional stakeholders as a preliminary step in our study provided opportunity for clarification of key concepts, exploration of the nature and diversity of experiences, and identification of knowledge gaps. Whilst our engagement work may have been limited with the inclusion of only one nursing representative and little discussion of the hospice context, these aspects together with the content and themes identified will inform the design of our scoping review using the Joanna Briggs Institute framework. Data from the stakeholder engagement and the scoping review will be combined to finalise a model of intended processes in prescribing and medication use in symptom control in palliative care. Phase two of this study is a focussed ethnography to develop an experienced processes model. Synthesising the intended (phase one) and experienced (phase two) processes models using activity theory (2) will lead to when, how, and why processes in prescribing and medication use are misaligned and to ways in which systems can be improved to support patients and their families.

Penerapan Metode Service Quality dalam Melihat Pengaruh Kinerja Pegawai terhadap Kualitas Pelayanan Publik

Public service is a process of bureaucratic performance, the link with bureaucratic culture is very strong, meaning that any activities carried out by public service officers must be guided by the normative rules that have been determined by public organizations as a manifestation of the behavior of public organizations. In this regard, the problem that exists is that the service of public officials at the Pulau Rakyat Sub-district Office, Asahan Regency, shows that there are still deviations in attitudes and behavior as well as the actions of the apparatus as public servants. In everyday reality, it shows that the management services are complicated, require a large amount of money, are less informative or less transparent and discriminatory. In fact, people's expectations for improving the implementation of public services are actually getting further away from the reality. The quality of service is indicated by the absence of professional services, which is the success of the government in managing quality services. The quality of service by the employees of the Pulau Rakyat Sub-district Office of Asahan Regency who are selfish, considerate and serious to carry out their duties and obligations, as well as low knowledge and skills in carrying out their duties

Efektivitas Penerapan Sanksi Pidana Atas Tindak Pidana Pemilihan Umum Berdasarkan Undang-undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 Tentang Pemilihan Umum

Free and periodic elections have been characterized by a system of democratic states as one of the means for ensuring rights for citizens, there is often a breach in Indonesia's electoral proceedings such as the violation of criminal elections. So the government issued a special bill used to regulate the process of holding elections in 2019, specifically to sanction the perpetrators of the elections violation, using 2017's no. 7 elections.
 The study adopted the normatif juridical research approach, which normatif's own jurisdiction was a law study that examined written laws from various aspects. This approach approach deals with legal matters based on the normative rules that are associated with the existing circumstances of society. By viewing a case in the public with regard to elections and linking the 2017 rule number 7 of elections for the application of sanctions against the perpetrators of the elections.
 Legal certainty in the implementation of criminal sanctions against the perpetrators of the general elections under the 2017 rule of elections can be set as an example for the public to avoid committing similar crimes or others, with a sufficient number of cases to be solved.
 Key words: sanction setting, effective application of criminal sanctions.

Voluntary standards as meso‐institutions: A Bayesian investigation of their relationships with transaction governance and risks

AbstractMeso‐institutions offer a promising theoretical approach for assessing the way in which firms govern their activities and transactions while embedded in the macro‐institutional environment. The concept of meso‐institutions also offers theoretical support when evaluating a wide variety of voluntary standards that have been introduced within value chains in recent decades. Such tools can be considered meso‐institutions because of their features, and because of their role in translating general normative rules into specific mechanisms that delineate the domain of activities of supply chain agents. While various aspects of meso‐institutions have been investigated, little is known about their relationship with micro‐level structures and the determinants of firm's voluntary participation. The present paper investigates the association between a private standard, different forms of transaction governance in the supply chain, and the role that internal and external risks play in voluntary participation in the standard. The analysis draws upon secondary data taken from a representative sample of firms that form part of the European soybean supply chain. Our findings show that firms that participate in this standard have fewer hybrid forms and higher levels of spot markets. This suggests that some of the functions of hybrid forms are fulfilled by the meso‐institution. The results also show that risks associated with firm's behavioral uncertainty are more conducive to the participation in the standard than environmental‐related risks.

Perspectives of Technical Equipment Development for External Radiotherapy in Russian Federation in My View

This article is devoted to problems of radiotherapy technical maintenance development in Russian Federation on next 10–15 years. The next trends of development are discussed:
 1. The composition of equipment included in radiotherapy complexes.
 2. The situation with development of high technology radiotherapy (HTR) on Russia in 2021 year.
 3. The international modes to number of HTR complexes included linear accelerators (LA).
 4. The necessity in future number of LA and HTR complexes in Russia.
 5. how calculate the number of LA and HTR complexes in every separate clinic.
 6. Special possibilities of main Russian clinics.
 7. Where to purchase HTR complexes included LA to other small clinics?
 8. What types of LA is necessary to buy?
 9. What types of LA is necessary produce on Russian plants?
 10.What cost of project will be if it will be accept?
 11.The development of service centers.

 14.The normative rules limit.
 15.New types of LA.
 16.Metrology maintenance.
 17.Dosimetrical maintenance.
 18.the development of proton accelerators and neutron generators in Russia.
 19.How many years is necessary to wait of production Russian LA beginning?
 The problem the creation of technical equipment maintenance in Russia for modern radiotherapy on
 leading international level is very complex, heterogeneous and expensive. It can’t be realized without
 serious state support. But it is necessary to begin this realization even now. The specialists of necessary
 level are enough in country. It is necessary to create the general conceptual project of it realization, and
 after that create separate but very large problems included in it.

Decision-Making of Women Leaders in Government Organizations

This study aims to determine how the decision-making style of women leaders in government organizations in Manado City. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with the type of case study. Data collection is done through observation, interviews, and documents with triangulation. Data analysis uses an interactive model from Miles and Huberman. The results of the study show that in making decisions, female leaders use normative rules as a reference for action. In general, female leaders, at certain times try to give directions/instructions, involve subordinates, and there a delegation of tasks. Women leaders also have a firm attitude, tend to be strict, very disciplined, and dare to act in very urgent situations to enforce rules for the effectiveness of carrying out their duties. But at a certain time, they can act very meticulously, informatively and communicatively, also responsive and flexible, gentle, friendly, and considerate to subordinates but still authoritative, so that the instinct of a mother radiates in female leaders.

The Urgency of Doxing on Social Media Regulation and the Implementation of Right to Be Forgotten on Related Content for the Optimization of Data Privacy Protection in Indonesia

Data privacy that attached to every social media user has become a target of crime. One of the crime types that utilizes social media is doxing. Nowadays, the cases of doxing are increasing. There are still no specific and comprehensive normative rules that cover the data privacy protection to avoid doxing on social media. The fact makes the law enforcement still not optimal. This study is a descriptive study to answer some questions. Firstly, how to regulate doxing on social media based on the perspective of Indonesian law compared to the perspectives of other states in similar issue? Secondly, how the implementation of the right to be forgotten in doxing cases can optimize data privacy protection in Indonesia? This study used a normative juridical and case study approach. This study has resulted several results. Firstly, Indonesia needs special regulation for doxing on social media to protect the user data privacy. Secondly, the regulation of right to be forgotten should be reformulated and must be applied as a solution to doxing content. Doxing on social media regulation with the right to be forgotten can be further regulated through the legal regulation to provide a better data privacy protection.

Tendencje w zakresie uzgadniania formy liczby orzeczenia przy podmiocie szeregowym od staropolszczyzny do współczesności

In prescriptive studies, the rule of the necessity to agree the form of the number of a personal word with the whole series in the function of the subject is often formulated. It is usually illustrated with the sequence of the type Mąż i żona siedzieli przy stole (‘a husband and a wife sat at the table’). Meanwhile, from the very beginning of the development of the Polish language, even a slight modification of this type of series, for example a change of order, resulted in different syntactic dispositions, see: Przy stole siedzieli / siedział mąż i żona (‘a husband and a wife sat at the table’). The author’s own research on significantly extensive material proved that in quantitative terms, the syntax expected by normativists almost unconditionally occurred only in one type of series, while in others it represented other methods of syntactic accommodation. The aim of the article is to trace the methods of aligning the form of the number of a verb with different types of word sequences and the changes taking place in this respect over several hundred years. This will make it possible to formulate conclusions that will allow for the revision of the normative rules.

The German Organ Transplant Scandal - Unwritten rules of organizational wrongdoings

Using data from organ transplant medicine in Germany, we propose a method for understanding the content of unwritten rules supportive of violations of written rules in light of the “German Organ Transplant Scandal”. Grounded in the sociology of organizational crime, we reconstruct the cultural repertoires of medical professionals working with organ allocation when confronted with the applicable guidelines using collective mindset analysis. Four dimensions of cognitive and normative rules of interpretation were identified and discussed as a an occupational-professional form of deviance. Apart from not relying on data from the alleged perpetrators and still gazing at the latent structures of meaning behind misconduct, our approach offers a more general methodological framework for empirical studies of the unwritten rules at work in an organizational field where wrongdoing has been reported.

Making Sense of Nonsense: Readings of Children’s Poetry as Play and Creative Thinking
 Abstract: Nonsense and meaning are not necessarily conflicting concepts, but can be conceived of as a hendiadys, that is, not opposites, the one or the other, but as one and the other. The idea that meaning and nonsense are related and coexist is a premise for this article, which describes different structures of meaning in the nonsense poetry of Birgitte Krogsbøll and Kamilla Wichmann’s picture book Funkelgnister: Rim, råb og remser (2015, Glittersparks: Rhymes, Roars and Rigmaroles). By linking our analysis of Funkelgnister to Johan Huizinga’s theory of play as a prerequisite for culture, we reveal how the specific structures and logics of the poems generate meaning and thereby we disclose how children’s nonsense poetry is simultaneously meaningful and nonsensical, as a creative thinking akin to culture developed through play and playfulness. We describe how meaning can be sought in three directions, suggested by Gilles Deleuze: above, below and on the surface. In the first case, we consider nonsense as a seductive acoustic phenomenon. In the second, we focus on nonsense poetry as subversive. And finally, in the third case, we show how it is an event. In all, these different aspects demonstrate how nonsense poetry functions as play and challenges our understanding of what it means to read. Following Jurij Lotman’s understanding of pictorial language as creative thinking, we show how nonsense in Funkelgnister opens up a free space by utilizing an in-between, where meaning takes on different forms as signs and sounds, and how the inherent rejection of normative rules of reading in such a venture, initiates a production of meaning as metonymic activity. We thereby highlight how nonsense generates a ground for a creative development of meaning.
