Women’s Rights Protection Social Movement in the Modern Armenian Society

Current research article is devoted to the exploration of women’s rights protection movement in modern Armenian society. The exploration of the current situation of the women’s rights protection movement in modern Armenian society includes two components. Firstly, through an analysis of documents (the Soviet state’s first codes of different years), the study examines the evolution of the women's rights protection social movement from the Soviet Union. This investigation illustrates how the Soviet Union’s political system had formed and shaped the women’s movement, which also affected the further development of the movement in modern Armenian society. Secondly, this research paper is based on an analysis of 34 in-depth interviews performed in Yerevan city from 2020-2023, with informants engaged in different types of women’s rights protection activism during the last 20 years in Armenian society. Information gathered from interviews allowed us to split the history of the development of the movement into two time-lapses in modern Armenian society. Triangulation of qualitative document analysis and in-depth interviews, equally contributed to the understanding of the main features of the women’s rights protection social movement as a whole social phenomenon in Armenian modern society. One of the key findings of the research is that despite the existence of diverse groups of women’s rights protection activists and just individuals coping with social system gender inequalities, there is difficulties in establishing social movement in modern Armenian society. The most prevailing definitions of social movements assume non-institutionalized collective actions with a clear set of goals. Instead, what currently exists in modern Armenian society is a form of street activism organized by efforts of different institutionalized organizations, where people engage in sporadic protests to raise awareness about gender issues and gender inequality. The paper also sheds light on social obstacles that prevent the initiative from becoming an institutionalized social movement for women’s rights protection in Armenia. The main social-cultural obstacles can be seen as a combination of factors including the absence of a general feminist agenda, lack of structural strain pushing for mobilization and social conservatism, etc.

Secular Philosophy of Peace in Shashi Tharoor’s Why I Am a Hindu

The research article elucidates and critically evaluates the prominent ideologies and perspectives articulated by Shashi Tharoor in his seminal book, Why I Am a Hindu He presents a cogent narrative on the diverse philosophical tenets of Hinduism, and accentuates their relevance in nurturing a secular and peaceful society. The crux of his exposition lies in the contention that Hinduism, as a religion, embodies pluralism, tolerance, and a non-dogmatic approach, which can be the catalysts for fostering peace in an increasingly polarized world. Not only in ancient era but also in modern scenario, here everyone is playing the “religious and communal card” to achieve the desired supremacy in society. Some innocent believers of religion believe that the condition of their religion is extremely in danger and there is an urgent need to be the revival and protection of it. In act of protection of their religious ethics, they can inter any extreme to be under the political umbrella. There are many literary minds who wrote against such religious extremist who crossed the boundary constitutional secularism. Tharoor’s adeptness in contrasting the philosophical underpinnings of Hinduism with the prevailing notions of religious chauvinism is emphasized, particularly in the Indian context. To him, the Hinduism began in the Indian subcontinent and spread other parts of the world through the migrants and immigrants. The central core of Hindu religion is that it respects every religion in tolerable limits. The novel is divided into three parts and each part of it well described the concept of Hinduism and Hindutva. It is all about tolerance and peace and not about supremacy to other religions. The article investigates the position of religious tolerance and tries to explore the challenge of radical extremism as a source of national disharmony that spares the opportunities of national unity. The focal point is the elucidation of how Tharoor propagates and transcends parochial boundaries. The article encapsulates an incisive exploration of the synthesis between ancient Hindu wisdom and modern secular values, and their collective potential in the establishment of a more inclusive and peaceful global society.

The Consumer Protection on Access to Information on Sugar, Salt, and Fat

Around 70 percent of deaths in Indonesia are non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to excessive consumption of sugar, salt, and fat. This study aims to determine consumer protection over sugar, salt, and fat information access. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected in March 2022 through Focus Group Discussions with informants from regulators, business associations, and consumer protection activists, as well as field observations in South Tangerang City and Semarang. The sampling method used was purposive sampling. Government regulations, business compliance, and supervision influence consumer rights to access sugar, salt, and fat information. Government regulations are still limited, and there needs to be an explanation of the implementation and standards. Many modern and traditional retailers still need to include information about sugar, salt, and fat, as well as health messages, in their product packaging. The government needs to intensify socialization and educate business actors regarding the obligation to include nutritional value information and health messages. Consumers also need to be educated about the dangers of excessive sugar, salt, and fat consumption and the nutritional literacy of their products.

RETRENCHING EMPLOYEES IN STAGES TO CIRCUMVENT SECTION 189A OF THE LRA NUMSA v Continental Tyre (as yet unreported – Labour Court 2005)

As a result of pressure from the trade union movement to reconsider the policy norms governing retrenchments, significant amendments, both procedural and substantive, were made to the retrenchment provisions in the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (“the LRA”) in 2002. A new section (s 189A) was introduced which provides that where a potential retrenchment involves at least 10 employees where an employer employs has more than 50 employees such employees acquire the right to strike in opposition to the retrenchment. Employees and trade unions can elect to challenge such retrenchment through the law or by means of protected strike action (see s 65(4)(c)). Section 189A(1)(a) provides that this section applies to employers employing more than 50 employees if –“(a) the employer contemplates dismissing by reason of the employer’s operational requirements, at least –(i) 10 employees, if the employer employs up to 200 employees;(ii) 20 employees, if the employer employs more than 200, but not more than 300, employees;(iii) 30 employees, if the employer employs more than 300, but not more than 400, employees;(iv) 40 employee employees, if the employer employs more than 400, but not more than 500, employees; or(v) 50 employee employees, if the employer employs more than 500, employees.”An additional consequence of the introduction of section 189A is that provision is made for statutory facilitation in respect of the retrenchment consultation at the request of the employer or any consulting parties representing the majority of employees who are targeted for retrenchment. Compulsory notice periods are also introduced, since the section requires a 60 day holding-off period if statutory facilitation is embarked upon or pending terminations disputed (s 189A(2)(a) read with s 189A(7)(a) and 189A(8)(b)(i); and see Thompson “Restructuring and Retrenchment” 2002 Current Labour Law 30).In order to prevent employers from circumventing the effect of section 189A by splitting or staggering a retrenchment, section 189A provides that, if the number of employees that an employer contemplates dismissing, together with the number of employees that have been dismissed by reason of that employer’s operational requirements in the 12 months prior to the employer issuing a retrenchment notice, is equal to or exceeds the relevant number set out above the section applies to the second retrenchment exercise as well (s 189A(1)(b)). This provision is important, because the additional rights granted to employees and trade unions by section 189A are significant (as set out above).But what if an employer retrenches employees in an instance where section 189A does not apply, and thereafter retrenches more employees within the following 12 months or even later? Should section 189A apply to the first retrenchment which, on its own, falls short of the numbers that cause the section to apply? This issue was recently addressed in NUMSA v Continental Tyre (unreported – Labour Court 2005).

Assessing Magnoliaceae through time: Major global efforts to track extinction risk status and ex situ conservation

Societal Impact StatementComprehensive Red List assessments act as valuable resources for informing protected area designations, national protected species legislation and action strategies, and international biodiversity agreements, yet they are lacking for many plant families. Magnoliaceae is one of the most comprehensively assessed families, as coordinated efforts have taken place since 2007 to assess all species in the family. Due to the many efforts to assess these species, comparisons of the assessments and ex situ data over time and an investigation of the most recent (2021) information are essential to guiding the development of national, regional, and global conservation strategies for Magnoliaceae species in a time of increased global collaboration between conservation organizations.

ISOLATION AND PURIFICATION OF BROMELAIN ENZYME FROM PINEAPPLE JUICE AND STUDY CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITY AGAINST CANCER CELLS

The work included the isolation of Bromelain enzyme from pineapple juice using different biochemical techniques which included: ammonium sulfate precipitation, diagnosis and gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-100. It was found that only the second peak had a high activity for Bromelain, the apparent molecular weight of the isolated Bromelain using gel filtration chromatography and SDS-PAGE was (27000) and (24000) Dalton respectively, this study was led to distinguish the cytotoxic action of purified enzyme Bromelain from pineapple juice remove on human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells in vitro contrasted with human hepatic (WRL-68) cells utilizing MTT measure. Charted 6 crystal program incorporating non-straight relapse with one-way ANOVA followed by Dennett's different comparison test to get information addressing the mean+ SD. The outcomes uncovered high poisonousness of the concentrate against MCF-7 cells with IC50 (194.5µg/ml) and showed high-decreased action toward WRL-68 cells with high IC50 esteem while the least feasibility (26.389 ±3.73022) showed up in MCF. 7 cells under treatment with 400 µg.ml-1 contrasted and high practicality in WRL-68 cells. The review reasoned that has a significant wellspring of anticancer medications with protected and particular action on disease cells in contrast with human typical cells.

Let us work together for enhanced tobacco control strategies!

Abstract The global campaign by the World Health Organization in the context of the World No Tobacco Day 2022 bears the theme “Tobacco: A threat to environment”. It raises concerns on environmental issues related to tobacco use which is also a public health problem. This is a call to tobacco control advocates to work together with environment protection activists to federate multi-stakeholder collaborative advocacy work for stringent tobacco control strategies worldwide.

Goals, obstacles and focus of heritage preservation activists in Ukrainian cities

Preservation of historic heritage is a prevalent question in urban social movements in Ukraine. This article focuses on heritage preservation activists’ experiences, including both movements to preserve specific historic sites and monuments, and movements against destruction of the historic environment more generally. We begin by conceptualizing key concepts of heritage preservation movement and offering a background of heritage preservation in a post-soviet setting. This overview is followed by a summary of research findings based on eleven semi-structured interviews with heritage protection activists in major Ukrainian cities. Their activity can be classified firstly based on the strategy of impact (top-down or bottomup); secondly, on the type of historic monuments that they want to preserve (classical architecture, modern (Soviet) architecture and small architectural forms); thirdly, on the territorial scale of their activity (local, municipal or regional); and finally, on their activities (cultural and artistic, political, media and awarenessraising, community-building, etc.).Challenges, identified by activists in their work, were classified as external (related to structural and contextual difficulties), and internal (individual challenges and group dynamics, related to lack of time, resources and institutional knowledge). More generally, the heritage preservation movement in Ukraine is identified by activists as fragmented, reactive, and marked by high institutionalization of grassroots activities and their cooptation. Activists are reflexive of their role in historic preservation and present themselves as the voice of the general public. They identify their impact as creating public resonance, a wide network of passive allies, institutional (as well as internal management) experience for activist initiatives. At the same time, however, they have little faith in the possibility of achieving broader strategic goals. Thus, despite their impact and efficiency in defending specific historic sites, activists are unable to preserve historic heritage in Ukrainian cities on their own. Potential future research includes conducting interviews not only with activists of large cities, but also of smaller towns, as well as using a multi-method approach and supplementing interviews with content-analysis of activists’ public statements, as well as taking into consideration the voices of other interested agents in the heritage preservation movement.

.”No One Can Give You Protection“ The Reversal of Protection in a Persian Decree Dated 562/1167

While we know from historical texts that authorities in pre‑Mongol Iran and Central Asia issued letters of protection (amān‑nāma), no original has survived. In this article, we introduce one newly purchased document at the National Library of Israel catalogued as Ms.Heb.8333.86 and dated 562/1167, which refers to an act of protection (ḥimāyat)—or rather, its reversal. This is the closest we get to an actual documentary reference in Persian to an act of protection in the pre-Mongol period, and the document, therefore, merits closer study. The document offers an alternative history of protection far from the centres of power, at a very local level in the Ghūrid domains of today’s Central Afghanistan and northern India, and the survival of the document offers clues as to the longevity of acts of protection and their archival value. The study, by extension, highlights the dynamism of reciprocal loyalties between citizens and administrative officials in local communities.

Field research to application: a study of human response to the 2011, Joplin tornado and its impact on alerts and warnings in the USA

An EF-5 tornado occurred on May 22, 2011, in the populated area of Joplin, Missouri, causing 161 fatalities and over 1000 injuries. A conceptual model of protective action decision making was developed based on interviews with Joplin tornado survivors to further understand the factors that influenced decision making and sheltering behavior in the 2011 storm. The model showed that the majority of survivors decided at some point before the tornado hit that the act of seeking protection was not necessary, primarily due to a lack of tornado-related physical cues; previous experiences with tornadoes via false alarms; confusing and/or inconsistent emergency communication regarding the tornado; and/or tornado beliefs about Joplin’s geography. These individuals took action to protect themselves after witnessing audible or visual cues signaling imminent danger to them. Since this work was completed, efforts have been underway to translate this research from theory to practice. Namely, the findings from this work have been developed into guidance for communities on alerting for tornadoes, including the development of message templates and decision-making tools to improve methods for communicating with populations under imminent threat of tornadoes and other wind storm events.

Hashtag hijacking and crowdsourcing transparency: social media affordances and the governance of farm animal protection

The post-war Western world has seen a gradual shift from government to governance, a process that also concerned the issues related to agro-food sustainability, such as food quality, environmental impact, social justice, and farm animal welfare. Scholars believe that social media are a new site that reconfigures relations between various actors involved in the governance of these problems. However, empirical research on this matter remains scarce. This paper fills this gap by examining the case of Februdairy, a Twitter hashtag campaign to promote the British dairy industry, hijacked by animal protection activists. For this case, I employ the relational perspective on technology affordances—as operationalised by Faraj and Azad (in: Leonard et al. (eds), Materiality and organizing. Social interaction in a technological world, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2012)—to highlight two distinct strategic modes of embracement of social media functionalities by the opposing groups: hashtag hijacking and crowdsourcing transparency. The analysis reveals also that a pre-existing social structure of the agro-food system conditions reconfiguration of social relations by technology in a way that actually strengthens the tendency to govern the issue of farm animal protection with market mechanisms.

The Right to Strike and the "Deadweight" of the Common Law

The hostility of the common law in respect of collective action by workers in the form of strikes is notorious. To provide workers with a right to strike, legislative intervention is necessary. In New Zealand and Australia, legislative enactment of the right to strike has taken the form of the "immunity approach" whereby strike action which meets the prerequisites for protection under the relevant statute receives immunity from common law action, while that which does not remains subject to potential liability at common law.This article analyses the adoption of the immunity approach in Australia under the relevant federal industrial relations statutes that have operated since 1993. Commencing with discussion of the hostility of the common law to collective action and the principle of legality, a presumption of statutory interpretation that presumes Parliament would not have abrogated common law rights without an express intention to do so, this article examines how the scope of protected industrial action in Australia has been consistently narrowed through hostile judicial interpretation. Such interpretation has been grounded in an approach which narrows the extent that common law rights are restricted by the statute and construes the statutory enactment of a right to strike as conferring a "privilege" on those industrial actors who remain "worthy" enough to access it.Considering the progressively negative impact on the right to strike of this approach, the argument in this article echoes calls made by Gordon Anderson in 1987 to reject the continued role of the common law in the regulation of industrial action. It is argued that the law of strikes in Australia should be codified. Such an approach should assist in downplaying judicial tendencies to interpret the right to strike as a privilege rather than as a necessary component of a functioning system of voluntary collective bargaining.

“Not Without My Daughter”: EU Asylum Law, Gender, and the Separation of Refugee Families

Abstract When refugee families arrive in Europe and the children are over 18 years of age, in most cases, they are assessed separately for their asylum claim. Where applicants want to apply for family reunification, only spouses and minors who wish to be reunified with adult family members can automatically do so. This has caused problems for adult women who want to remain a part of their family or be reunified with family members in other European Union States. There is evidence that single women are more vulnerable to gender-based violence, whether in the refugee camps or on the dangerous journey from their homes to Europe, but that reason is not sufficient for family reunification. Through interviews with Arab women seeking to be reunified with their families, this article analyses the impact of the laws in the European Union, and specifically in Greece, on female asylum-seekers reaching the Greek island of Lesvos. It argues that the asylum laws have negative humanitarian consequences on asylum-seeking families, and because the act of seeking protection is different than other forms of migration, previous family structures should be recognised if the asylum-seeking woman so wishes, in order to ensure that these women are not made vulnerable.

The "Double-edged Sword" of Institutional Power: COSATU, Neo-liberalisation and the Right to Strike

On 1 January 2019 amendments to the Labour Relations Act came into force that significantly altered and curtailed the right to protected strike action in South Africa. Internationally, the right to strike has been eroded in recent years with many countries adopting legal provisions that violate the International Labour Organization’s principles. Comparatively, the rights of South African workers to go on protected strikes remain better than many other places in the world, a reflection of the militant history of the South African labour movement. But the erosion of these rights, with the active support of the Congress of South African Trade Unions, should be a cause for concern for activists and labour scholars in South Africa and beyond. This article develops the Power Resources Approach to consider how union institutional power has entrenched neo-liberalism in South Africa. Grounding the analysis of institutional power within the analytical framework of corporatism allows this article to develop an analysis of institutional power that is attentive to class forces. This provides an avenue for understanding the “double-edged sword” of institutional power in the South African context in order to comprehend when and under what circumstances trade unions advance and defend the interests of the working class and when they defend those of capital.
 KEY WORDS: labour; neo-liberalism; institutional power; corporatism; South Africa

Archaeological places: Negotiations between local communities, archaeologists and the state in India

In South Asia, local communities most often live near or amidst archaeological places. Their lives are in many ways framed and structured by these places. At the same time, these places too are impacted by the communities that live nearby. Archaeological sites in India are being destroyed at a rapid pace, due to increasing population and development pressures. This story gets further complicated by legislative practices of preservation related to monuments and archaeological sites, which are solely in the hands of the state through its institutions. It is this very act of protection that sometimes leads to conflict between the institutions of the state and local communities. At the same time, several archaeological sites have also survived due to local interests because they have been transformed into ritual spaces or are considered as ancestral places. Additionally, monuments have been converted into heritage hotels and have become an important means of livelihood for the families that own them. Thus, for protection to succeed, the critical intervention and involvement of local communities living in close proximity to monuments and archaeological sites is fundamental. Is it then education that can enable the survival of archaeological places? School education has the scope of involving and alerting children to their environs, whether it is the natural environment or a built one, and this could be a long-term solution.

Crkvena pripadnost kralja Dragutina posle 1291. Godine

The aim of this paper is to re-examine the church affiliation of Serbian King Stefan Dragutin (1276-1282) in the period from 1291 to 1316. Shortly after the descent from the Serbian throne, Dragutin became one of the most powerful Hungarian feudal lords. Since 1288 he expanded his relations with Rome, which culminated in 1291 when the pope took him under his protection. This detail had been used by a certain authors to acknowledge Dragutin as the unquestionable Roman Catholic who remained so until his death in 1316. This interpretation is particularly expressed in Croatian historiography, from the second half of 19th century until the end of 20th century. It can also be found with some authors within the Serbian historiography, but unlike the Croatian, Serbian historiography did not accept this interpretation. Contemporary Serbian historians see Dragutin's transition to Rome's safeguard as an act of political pragmatism whereas the Croatian historians persist in the interpretation that Dragutin, having received papal protection, became a Roman Catholic. Some even wrote that he remained so for the rest of his life. The problem with this assertion is that it is very superficial and is not subjected to any deeper critical analysis of the original sources. Moreover, it is noticeable that not all of the historical sources were used by Croatian historians who dealt with this topic. The sole identification of the act of papal protection with the change of religion, which is insisted upon, has no foundation. All of this is discussed in the first part of this paper. The second part of this paper is focused on further insight and critical analysis of the sources which treat Dragutin's religious feelings after March 15, 1291. Clearly all of the sources address him as "schismatic" which is a term used in the middle Ages to mark an Orthodox Christians. Even if at some point, Dragutin became a protégé of the Roman Catholic Church, he most certainly agreed to this only formally and remained an Orthodox for the rest of his life.

From The Editor

From The Editor Michelle M. Hamilton, Editor In this volume of La corónica we are delighted to have for the first time an article in Galician, evidence of our commitment to publish groundbreaking articles on medieval Iberia in the modern languages of the Peninsula. In this article, Ana Boullón underscores that copyists and their reading habits and linguistic background often play an essential role in the linguistic profile of texts that have come down to us in manuscript copies. Boullón explores how the two extant copies of the Crónica de Iria possess archaic linguistic features that suggest the work was composed earlier than the fifteenth century and that Rui Vázquez was not its author. The next article in this volume by Fernando Riva examines the thirteenth-century Castilian Libro de Alexandre and offers an analysis of the letter-symbol tau, a Hebrew letter conflated with the Greek t used by Christian scholars as symbol for the cross and symbol of Christian supercession of Jewish religious truths. Riva argues that the author of the Libro de Alexandre weaves the tau through the narrative to remind readers of the apocalyptic nature of messianism. Rocío Rubio Moirón turns to a more personalized form of the supernatural in the third article, focusing on how changing notions about affect and humor and their role in Christian piety affect how Gonzalo de Berceo chose to depict people possessed by demons. Rubio Moirón invites us to expand the definition of disability to include possession and explores the role of exorcism as an act of community protection. Affect and its expression is also central in Charles Elerick's study of word choice and emphasis in the fourteenth-century Libro de buen amor, the subject of the fourth article in this volume. Joseph Snow, a long-time collaborator and contributor to La corónica's pages, offers a study and English translation of seven of the cantigas d'escarnhio attributed to Alfonso X. These translations are the second in our "Texts and Translations" series, which was inaugurated in 2017 with Isabelle Levy and David Torollo's translation of Jacob ben El'azar's Sefer ha-meshalim (in volume 45, no. 2, 2017). You will also see that the volume opens with a remembrance of Linda Kay Davidson and her work by George Greenia, long-time editor of La corónica, who has generously shared the necrology he wrote for his friend and fellow lover of the Camino which originally appeared in Ad [End Page 1] Limina. Greenia reviews Davidson's important scholarship on the Camino de Santiago, as well as sharing personal anecdotes that give us a sense of her warm personality and important efforts to promote and explain the Camino experience. It also gives me great pleasure to announce in this volume the creation of the Nancy F. Marino Award for Best Essay in Hispanomedieval Studies, which will be awarded at this year's International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo. This prize, which carries both professional recognition and a cash prize, is possible thanks to the generosity of Frank McBath, Nancy's husband, in honor of her service to the field and particularly her mentorship and support of emerging scholars. If you have received your PhDs in the last 4 years or are a graduate student currently enrolled in a MA or PhD program who will be presenting at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo please apply! And if you are a senior scholar, please encourage eligible junior scholars you know and mentor to apply (by April 15). And once again, I would like to thank Isidro Rivera, Managing Editor, and his team at the University of Kansas (Ángel María Rañales Pérez, Indira Y. A. García, Scott Raines, and Juanita Reyes) who have all helped with revision on multiple versions of the articles. In addition, special thanks to Christina Ivers, Víctor Pascual Durán and Robert Hultgren who have also assisted in the editing of this volume. In addition to our work in bringing together this volume, the editors have also organized panels at several of the leading American conferences for scholars...

Problemy pamiatkookhoronnoi sfery URSR u vidobrazhenni kyivskoi periodyky 1970-kh rr.

The paper seeks for the first time to develop new avenues for the study of the monuments preservation of the Ukrainian SSR in the 1970s via a prism of the Kyiv newspapers. The article aims to research general trends and forms of development of the monument preservation policy in the Soviet Ukraine on the basis of a wide range of the Kyiv periodicals of the 1970s. A comprehensiveness and accuracy of coverage in the Kyiv periodicals of the development of the museum sphere in the Ukrainian SSR have been analyzed. The rediscovered publications allow us to conclude that active participation of the periodicals in the cultural protection movement as well as a pressure from the cultural protection activists contributed in an adoption in 1978 of the legislative acts (of the Soviet Ukraine and the USSR) «About protection and usage of monuments of history and culture». It shows that the Kyiv mainstream press of that period was presented as a rich event-actual phenomenon as well as an important factor in the protection and preservation of historical and cultural monuments in Ukraine. A juxtaposition of the content of different Kyiv newspapers makes possible to trace back paradoxes of development of the cultural protection sphere of that time, a struggle of views and positions of representatives of the Soviet authorities and devotees of monuments protection. Having researched the Kyiv periodicals’ corpora of the 1970s, we draw a conclusion that the periodicals of that time give historians a considerable empirical material for studying problems of the searching, scientific and mass work of the Kyiv museums in the Soviet Ukraine. Keywords: the UkrSSR, the Kyiv newspaper periodicals, periodical press, the cultural monument protection sphere, protection and preservation of monuments of history and culture, historical and archaeological researches.
