Temporary turn in the asylum regime and the deportable refugee: The case of Syrians in Türkiye

Abstract Within the context of forced repatriation, this study investigates the conditions under which Syrian refugees face the spectacle of detention and deportation in Türkiye. As the largest group of Temporary Protection holders within a single country (currently 3.7 million), this case provides a unique lens to examine how asylum policies’ increased emphasis on the temporariness of protection and the eventual return leads to the production of illegality, and consequently of the deportable refugee. Based on qualitative data collected between September and December 2019 in Istanbul, Türkiye, this paper argues that the escalating fear of deportability is built on three pillars: (1) exploitation in the informal labour market, (2) quotidian police surveillance and factory raids, and (3) discrimination in public life. The study contributes to the discussion of temporality and deportability in refugee studies.

Unveiling group activity recognition: Leveraging Local–Global Context-Aware Graph Reasoning for enhanced actor–scene interactions

Group activity recognition aims to recognize holistic activity in multi-person scene, necessitating consideration of the interactions between actors and their surroundings. It has various applications, such as public surveillance, video analysis. Nonetheless, existing works merely extract scene features as a supplementary component of activity features, failing to adequately explore the interplay between the scene and actors. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a Local–Global Context-Aware Graph Reasoning Model (LG-CAGR), which leverages and reasons through local and global context features to gain deeper insights into group activity within the scene. In particular, we present an innovative feature extraction strategy to harness local location features and global scene attributes, effectively complementing actor features by capturing spatial group topology and determining relative positions between actors. Subsequently, we delve into these features by devising a local–global group reasoning module that deduces pair-wise interactions between actors and scenes within Graph Convolutional Network, comprehensively elucidating correlations between overall scene and local individuals to construct group-level features. Multi-graphs are constructed considering actor’s features, scene features as nodes, and interactions as edges. A self-attention graph pooling network is introduced to automatically integrate key actor features and form rich group-level features to recognize group activity. The results on Collective Activity Dataset, Collective Activity Extended Dataset, Volleyball Dataset and Public Life in Public Space dataset have reached 94.0%, 97.7%, 92.7% and 56.1%. Compared with existing methods using the same backbone, we exceeded 1%, 2.1%, 0.3%, and 14.9% respectively, affirming the superiority of the proposed method compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Искусственный интеллект в деле противодействия коррупции в таможенных органах: достигнутые результаты и новые возможности

task of the state. In the conditions of active digitalization of public life, high-tech solutions have become available that can perform the routine part of human work in a short time (artificial intelligence, big data processing, etc.). Despite extensive foreign experience, the introduction of innovative approaches into anti-corruption mechanisms of customs authorities is insignificant. The article is devoted to the analysis of an anti-corruption project implemented by the state using artificial intelligence, as well as an assessment of the innovations planned in this area. In addition, promising areas for the use of artificial intelligence in the anti-corruption activities of customs authorities are proposed, opportunities and obstacles for the development of innovative tools in the area under consideration are identified.

Information Sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation: Directions for Ensuring and Ways to Improve them

The article discusses the main directions of ensuring information sovereignty in the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, as well as ways to improve them. To date, some problems have been identified that relate to the security of the information sphere of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, which made it possible to create specific measures to resolve them.Aim. In the information sphere of countries such as the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, various studies of a comprehensive plan were conducted by various scientists, politicians, as well as the military. Thanks to these studies, today there is a theoretical basis for improving the entire mechanism for protecting the information sovereignty of the two countries. However, due to the dynamism of the integration plan processes, changes in globalization, as well as due to the situation in geopolitics, it becomes necessary to conduct more and more analytical studies regarding the application of practical experience in ensuring national security in the information sphere.Tasks. Identification and justification of priority areas for improving the provision of information sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation as the basis of the information component.Methods. During the study, standard scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, expert-analytical, structural-logical, comparative and structural-functional methods, as well as a forecasting method were used.Results. The study showed that the information sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation ensures their political, economic, social stability and sustainable progressive development, since in the context of the globalization of the information space and key areas of public life, the influence on the information field increases and the importance of information security at the national levels increases for each state.Conclusions. It is expedient to consolidate the equal importance in the composition of the structural mechanisms for ensuring the information sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, their constitutional and legal status and equivalent nature. The use of exclusively control and supervisory, regulatory and restrictive procedures in the information environment is not sufficient to maintain information sovereignty.

«Парадная» сторона общественной жизни купечества Вологодской губернии во второй половине XIX века

Despite the fact that the history of the Russian merchants has been of great interest to researchers for more than two decades, there are still little studied aspects in this area, including the «ceremonial» side of the public life of representatives of the merchant class. This area of research activity seems very promising, as it can significantly complement the sociocultural portrait of the merchant class. The purpose of this paper is to recreate the picture of the participation of the merchants of the Vologda province in festive and solemn events as an important part of public life in the second half of the XIX century. Based on the «Vologda Provincial Gazette» for 1861-1899, using the methods of formalizing and systematizing historical data, such components of the «ceremonial» side of the public life of the local merchants as the celebration of important dates related to the Romanov House; accompanying members of the imperial family who visited the province; participation in official events organized by the Governor; Clubs membership were identified. The published materials indicate that the merchants took an active part in local celebrations dedicated to the events from the life of merchants, as well as provided significant financial support to the related various charitable initiatives. The most important events of the provincial authorities could not do without representatives of the merchant class. Besides, in the second half of the XIX century, the general urban leisure space for a wide range of people, including merchants, began to take shape. These aspects nevertheless allow us to outline the main facets of the «ceremonial» side of the public life of the merchants of the Vologda province in the second half of the XIX century and set directions for further research.

Exploring the Gender Disparity in Sports Participation: A Qualitative Analysis of Women's Limited Engagement in Sports in Bangladesh

Gender equality is the subject of Sustainable Development Goal 5, one of the UN's 17 objectives. Assuring women's full and effective involvement and equitable opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic, and public life is the emphasis of SDG target 5.5. In Bangladesh, there is still a significant gender gap in sports participation, which limits women's access to physical activity, personal growth, and social empowerment, a major hindrance to achieving SDGs within 2030. In Bangladesh, there is still a significant gender gap in sports participation, which limits women's access to physical activity, personal growth, and social empowerment, a major hindrance to achieving SDGs within 2030. The research aims to uncover the socio-cultural, institutional, and psychological barriers hampering women's active sports involvement through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and content analysis. The study finds that traditional gender norms and societal expectations emerged as significant barriers to women's sports participation, and parental attitudes and support has been identified as major issues in enabling girls to participate in sports. Limited access to training facilities, coaching, and competitions specifically tailored for women hindered their progress, and the importance of mentors and role models was underscored throughout the study.

A facile cellulose finishing strategy through in-situ growth of sliver-doped manganese dioxide assisted by amine-quinone for improving indoor living quality

Nowadays, various harmful indoor pollutants especially including bacteria and residual formaldehyde (HCHO) seriously threaten human health and reduce the quality of public life. Herein, a universal substrate-independence finishing approach for efficiently solving these hybrid indoor threats is demonstrated, in which amine-quinone network (AQN) was employed as reduction agent to guide in-situ growth of Ag@MnO2 particles, and also acted as an adhesion interlayer to firmly anchor nanoparticles onto diverse textiles, especially for cotton fabrics. In contrast with traditional hydrothermal or calcine methods, the highly reactive AQN ensures the efficient generation of functional nanoparticles under mild conditions without any additional catalysts. During the AQN-guided reduction, the doping of Ag atoms onto cellulose fiber surface optimized the crystallinity and oxygen vacancy of MnO2, providing cotton efficient antibacterial efficiency over 90 % after 30 min of contact, companying with encouraging UV-shielding and indoor HCHO purification properties. Besides, even after 30 cycles of standard washing, the Ag@MnO2-decorated textiles can effectively degrade HCHO while well-maintaining their inherent properties. In summary, the presented AQN-mediated strategy of efficiently guiding the deposition of functional particles on fibers has broad application prospects in the green and sustainable functionalization of textiles.

Protection for Whom? Police Legitimacy and the Historical Origins of Carceral Feminism

In a reflection on Anne Gray Fischer’s The Streets Belong to Us, this article considers how her scholarship on sexual policing in 20th century America situates sexual policing and the state’s criminalization of women as central rather than supplemental to our broader understanding of policing. Fischer’s analysis demonstrates how police used sexual policing to bolster their authority amid threats to their legitimacy and to defend and protect a racially segregated patriarchal social order. Her research also uncovers the centrality of anti-Black and gendered policing to gentrification and urban economic revival. Finally, Fischer historicizes white dominance feminists’ partnership with law enforcement by demonstrating law enforcement’s historical (and racialized) decriminalization of white women’s public sexual lives. Fischer’s pathbreaking analysis suggests the need for historians of policing and the carceral state to view gender and sexuality as foundational to the construction of modern policing and the broader development of the racialized carceral state.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASES OF FORMATION OF THE CONCEPT OF ENSURING SOCIO-ECONOMIC SECURITY OF ENTERPRISES IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALISATION OF BUSINESS PROCESSES

It is established that the system of free enterprise in the form in which it is implemented does not ensure progressive changes and they do not occur. The authors believe that in order to ensure a high level of socio-economic security of Ukrainians, it is advisable to use methods, levers, information and legal support for socio-economic security based on the digitalisation of business processes at enterprises, organisations and institutions. The article substantiates the expediency of forming a structure and mechanism for ensuring socio-economic security, taking into account the determination of the values of the State, phenomena of public life and public consciousness, in order to solve the problems of ensuring the effective operation of enterprise through the use of digital innovative technologies. It proposes a structure of socio-economic security of enterprises in the context of digitalisation of business processes. In order to ensure the conditions for social protection of employees of enterprise, a mechanism for such protection is proposed, taking into account the economic component, which will largely depend on the introduction of digital technologies into the business processes of enterprise. The paper suggests the concept of digitalisation of business processes of enterprise with a view to forming and ensuring socio-economic security of enterprises in the context of digitalisation of business processes. It is proved that the digital society is a necessary progressive movement, which involves the intensive and productive use of digital technologies in all spheres of human life, the life of economic entities, regions and the State. The publication analyses the global volume of trade through e-commerce retail in 2016-2021 as a sign of the external environment of socio-economic security of enterprise. The emphasis is placed on the digital society as an external environment of socio-economic security of enterprise. It is determined that digital technologies have a significant impact on the socio-economic security of enterprises, as they allow increasing the profitability of production, reducing human labour costs, ensuring rhythmic operation at all stages of business processes, making it possible to implement the tasks set and achieve common economic, social and civic goals. It is determined that the digital economy covers not only the information and communication sector, but also all business sectors in all areas of economic activity, including the public and private sectors, non-financial and tertiary sectors, financial sector, extractive industry, manufacturing and services, agriculture and construction. The study analyses the system characteristics of functioning of the mechanisms for ensuring socio-economic security, taking into account the relationship between internal relations and the external environment. The article examines the assessment of digital quality of life according to the Digital Quality of Life Index 2023, and identifies factors and trends that affect such indicators. The factors influencing the socio-economic security of the 10 largest IT companies in Ukraine by the number of specialists as of July 2023 are identified. The prospects for the impact of digitalisation of business processes of enterprises on the socio-economic security of Ukraine are determined.

Лингвопрагматические характеристики двуязычия в акадийском медиадискурсе

The aim of the study is to identify the peculiarities of the implementation of pragmatic attitudes of the Acadian linguistic personality regarding bilingualism (goals pursued when covering bilingualism, values associated with bilingualism, etc.) in the media discourse of the province. The paper presents the results of analysing 100 newspaper articles covering various aspects of bilingualism in the region – the main themes and subthemes associated with bilingualism are identified and both quantitative and qualitative analyses of the data are conducted. The study is novel in that it presents the first characterization of the coverage of bilingualism in the Acadian press. As a result, the study reveals that regarding the coverage of bilingualism, the New Brunswick press primarily focuses on internal provincial affairs – the representation of bilingualism at the national level is barely reflected; failures and problems related to the implementation of bilingualism in the province are covered more extensively than the successes and achievements of implementing the institutional bilingualism policy. There is explicit criticism of the implementation of the language policy by the regional authorities – their actions and inactions; the articles note violations of Francophones’ rights and numerous difficulties in implementing bilingualism, including those arising from the entrenched conflict between Anglophones and Francophones in the province. However, measures to develop real bilingualism in various spheres of public life undertaken by the government, organizations, and ordinary citizens of the region are also highlighted; the authors of the articles and interviewees postulate ideas about the economic benefits of bilingualism and its value as part of the Acadian identity.

Sharia Yes, Sharia State No: Negosiasi dan Akomodasi Syari’ah di Indonesia

Syafiq Hasyim. 2023. Shariatization of Indonesia, the Politics of the Council of Indonesian Ulama (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI). Leiden: Brill. Wael Hallaq. 2013. The Impossible State, Islam, Politics, and Modernity's Moral Predicament. New York: Columbia University Press. The two works discussed in this book review examine how Sharia norms are negotiated and accommodated in modern nation-states. This process is inevitable as Muslims are confronted with the persistence of the nation-state and the theological obligation to apply Sharia norms in their lives. Although Hallaq's work is very pessimistic in saying that paradigmatically the two systems are impossible to reconcile, his work can serve as an important background for understanding Hasyim's work which discusses in detail how Sharia is accommodated in the legal order and public life in Indonesia, highlighting the role of the MUI as the main institution of this accommodation process. Hasyim's work tries to answer three important questions: how and in what way MUI plays a role in the process of sharization; what its implications in law and public life in Indonesia are and how the process came about; and how the state and society respond to this sharization.

Researching Ibn Muhanna’s dictionary in terms of linguistic features

In many linguistic studies, many studies have been conducted on the work “Hilyetü’l-insan” and “Halbetü’l-lisan”, which was mentioned as Ibn Muhanna’s Dictionary, whose real name was revealed when the Istanbul copy was found, and which belongs to Jamaladdin Ibn Muhanna. In the middle of the century, the Persian, Turkic and Mongolian languages gained influence and were widely used in Iraq as well as in the entire Elkhanid territory. Ibn Muhenna wrote his dictionaries “Hilyetü’l-insan” and “Halbetü’l-lisan” in this scientific environment. It is estimated that it was written in Meraga or Baghdad in the second half of the century. Despite the fact that the official language of the Elkhanid state is Turkic, Ibn Muhanna wrote his work in Arabic based on the main features of these three languages, considering that Arabic, Persian and Mongolian languages are also used in cultural, administrative, commercial and public life. According to the Istanbul copy of the introduction and the three-part dictionary, pages 5–111 were devoted to Persian, pages 113–310 to Turkic, and pages 311–371 to Mongolian. The part of the work related to the Persian language consists of an introduction and twenty-eight chapters where general grammatical rules are explained. In this research study, we will try to compare the linguistic features of Ibn Muhanna’s Dictionary.

Gender and the Performance of Death Rituals in Classical Athens 480–332 BCE

Abstract Death rituals play a significant role in maintaining the cultural system of different societies by providing a specific form of behaviour in response to death. To that end, the significant role of women as patrons of culture can be identified by studying their role in the performance of death rituals. Classical Athens provides a good case study as women performed most phases of the mortuary treatment, and their role is recognised in both the textual and material evidence. This gives us the opportunity to diverge from the ‘typical male perspective’-approach to the mortuary evidence, which focuses on the socio-political and economic dimensions, and shed light on the agency of women. The female agency was responsible for the continuity of some ancient rituals despite the laws made to restrict them. Moreover, relatively wealthier women were indirect agents influencing the Athenian public life by using excessive death rituals to reallocate power in society after the loss of powerful individuals.

The Lesson and/or the master: Alex MacKeith and writing today

In this interview, award-winning musical comedian Alex MacKeith and I examine his screenplay for Alice Troughton’s new film The Lesson (2023). MacKeith goes over his creative process, from his incorporation of some of his experiences as a tutor following university to his development of individual characters, and from his project’s growth and improvement across successive drafts to the kinds of affirmation that he gets from his work in musical comedy in comparison to his work in scriptwriting. We go on to discuss his magnificent central character: the writer J. M. Sinclair (Richard E. Grant). The film follows Liam (Daryl McCormack), a young writer hired to prepare Sinclair’s son (Stephen McMillan) for Oxford, but as it unfolds, we learn, alongside Liam, about Sinclair’s personal and public lives. Sinclair’s wife Hélène (Julie Delpy) hired Liam specifically to investigate him. A living cliché, Sinclair is claiming credit for work that really belongs to his deceased son Felix (Joseph Meurer). For this film, MacKeith was longlisted for a British Independent Film Award. It has been described by Stephen King as being ‘[c]old, smart, and suspenseful’ and it is a New York Times’s Critics Pick. In this climate, when conversations about originality, notably the place of artificial intelligence in creative and critical projects, are all the rage, this interview’s exploration of authorship, intellectual property and retirement for creatives is especially timely.

Theoretical and conceptual foundations of research on religious Conservatism as a social structure in the works of Karl Mannheim and Talcott Parsons

The article is devoted to the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the research field of religious conservatism. By itself, religious conservatism as a phenomenon of public life and social structure, since its inception, has had a great influence not only on the religious sphere of society, but also on the political and even economic spheres. The modern research field of religious conservatism is quite diverse, there are a large number of different directions and schools in it, but most of them borrow their methodological foundations from a certain number of classical works on sociology, formed within the framework of mainstream sociological secularism. In this regard, secularism attitudes continue to be reproduced quite often in modern sociological science. The purpose of this work is to examine the early, fundamental theoretical and methodological positions created in classical sociological works on the topic of religious conservatism as a social structure and social phenomenon. To achieve the goal, it was necessary to solve the following tasks: 1) To characterize the works of the early stage of the study of religious conservatism in sociology; 2) To identify and characterize the theories of society in which the main works were created; 3) To define the concept of religious conservatism as a social phenomenon or social structure; 4) Describe the impact of these concepts on further sociological discussion. The research materials were theoretical studies by foreign authors devoted to the conceptualization of the theme of religious conservatism. The research methodology is based on secondary analysis. The results revealed the main patterns of the theoretical foundations of religious conservatism in the works of the classics of sociology.

Analyzing gender equality in the US and Indonesian parliaments through liberal feminism theory

Gender inequality is a persistent issue experienced by women worldwide, often intertwined with their limited participation in political spheres. This study examines the political involvement of women in the parliaments of Indonesia and the United States of America (USA) through the lens of liberal feminism theory. Employing qualitative decryption approaches with a comparative study design, data collected from both the Indonesian Parliament and the USA Parliament were understood, recorded, phrased, compared and analyzed within the framework of liberal feminism theory, focusing on the "Right in Public Life and Politics". The results of the study revealed that while the Government of Indonesia has enacted legislation mandating a minimum of 30% female representation in political parties, both the Indonesian and US parliaments exhibit disproportionately low levels of female members compared to their male counterparts. A notable distinction between the two lies in the parliamentary leadership, with Indonesia being led by a woman and the USA by men. To enhance women's political participation, it is imperative for both governments to rigorously enforce regulations and sanctions against political parties. Additionally, efforts to dismantle the prevailing masculine culture in various societies are crucial in order to foster gender equality and justice, thereby realizing gender democracy.

Style and Stylistics in Literary Research: An Analysis Using the Examples of Goran and Dylan

Stylistics, originally confined to literary criticism, evolved into an independent discipline with the expansion of linguistics. Beyond literature, style extends to the distinctive markers of individuals in public life, encompassing appearance, behavior, and content. Societies exhibit diverse cultural patterns and interpersonal dynamics. This paper delves into the exploration of stylistics, focusing on its manifestation in literary articles where writers convey emotions and thoughts, influenced by various principles. The study introduces style concepts, terminology, and methodologies, examining their impact on writers, texts, and readers. It analyzes style from the author's perspective, considering language choice, rhetorical devices, and mental state. Practical examples from selected poetic texts, including works by Goran and Dylan, illustrate literary style within this comprehensive exploration.

Research Trends in the Impact of Digitization and Transparency on National Security: Bibliometric Analysis

In the context of rapid technological development, digitalization and transparency have a critical impact on national security, promoting transparency and combating corruption, while posing challenges to cybersecurity due to the increased availability of information. The purpose of this study is to identify, based on bibliometric analysis, trends and subject areas in research on the impact of digitalization and transparency on national security. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scientific works on the role of digitalization and transparency in national security published in the publications indexed by the Scopus database for 1991-2023 was conducted, which formed the statistical basis of the analysis. The bibliometric programs Vosviewer and SciVal were chosen as research tools, which allowed for an in-depth analytical review and identification of the main trends and interrelationships between different research areas, confirming the hypothesis of increasing interest in the study of digitalization and transparency in the context of national security. Based on the analysis of the common use of keywords, seven clusters were identified, covering a wide range of topics from digital transformation and adaptive governance for national security to global political and economic strategies, each of which reveals unique interrelationships between digitalization, transparency, innovation and their impact on national security, including cybersecurity challenges, ethics in governance, and the importance of transparency for democracy and human rights. The analysis of the evolutionary trends in research allowed us to identify four key periods of development of scientific interest in the impact of digitalization and transparency on national security: 1) the period from 2014 to 2016 is characterized by initial research on the role of digitalization in national security and mainly concerns e-government studies; 2) during 2017-2018, research focuses on the growing attention to transparency and its role in national security 3) in the period from 2019 to 2021, there is an increase in the number of studies related to cybersecurity and the impact of digital technologies on democracy; 4) from 2022 to the present, there is further in-depth research on topics related to artificial intelligence The spatial clustering of studies shows a high level of international integration in research on the impact of digitalization and transparency on national security. The findings can be used by state institutions to improve national security strategies, in particular by adapting the legislative framework to the challenges of digitalization and ensuring transparency at all levels of government and public life, including macro (national), meso (regional) and micro (local) levels, ensuring openness and accountability in all spheres of government and public control, which will ultimately contribute to ensuring stability and security at the national level.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A CATALYST FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESSES IN ACCOUNTING

The article examines the essence, classifies and highlights the historical aspects of the development of artificial intelligence technologies, identifies the trends and outlines the prospects for using the potential of modern information technologies in various spheres of public life. It is substantiated that the application of the capabilities of artificial intelligence-based systems in accounting practice makes it possible to automate certain accounting operations, in particular, processing and analysis of large amounts of accounting information, verification of accounting data and detection of errors, prevention of fraud, and also saves material and human resources for accounting, and increases the efficiency of the accounting process in general. Despite the significant advantages of integrating artificial intelligence into the accounting process, it is established that the use of the intelligent information technologies has risks for the accounting industry, which are associated with the release of a significant number of jobs, insufficient confidentiality and security of accounting data, the complexity of implementing an intelligent accounting system, and the lack of regulatory regulation of the procedure for using artificial intelligence systems in the accounting process. It is determined that the potential of artificial intelligence-enabled systems is gradually being used in accounting and this process will only intensify due to the rapid development of information technology and the trend towards automation of business processes, but there is still no talk of full integration of artificial intelligence into accounting practice. In order to ensure widespread implementation of artificial intelligence in the field of accounting, the author proposes a set of measures which include cultivation of a positive attitude towards intelligent information technologies, development of a national policy and strategy for implementation of artificial intelligence systems, professional development of practitioners, and development of information systems for automation of accounting based on artificial intelligence technologies.
