TEACHER`S SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND RESILIENCE IN SLOVAKIA AND LATVIA DURING DISTANCE LEARNING SITUATION
Get PDFThe article brings the research results of the teachers´ social-emotional health and resilience in Slovak Republic and in Latvia during distance learning situation. The sample consisted of 800 teachers, 400 teachers from each country, who completed Social-Emotional Health Survey-Teachers (SEHS-T) and Resilience Scale (RS) during months of May through July 2021. The research results showed the highest covitality level of Slovak teachers in comparison with Latvian teachers (p ˂.001, r = .36). There was found a big difference in covitality in the clue domain Belief in Self in favour of Slovak teachers (p ˂.001; r = .44), there were only average differences in other domains - Belief in Others, Emotional Competence, Engaged Living. Latvian teachers reached high scores in cognitive reappraisal and optimism (p ˂.001). There was statistical difference in the level of resilience between Slovak and Latvian samples (p ˂.001; r = .35). Slovak teachers scored higher. But the teacher’s resilience in both countries had moderate level. Significant positive strong correlation was found between resilience and covitality in Slovak teachers rs = .76** and in Latvian teachers rs = .66**. Significant high and moderate positive correlations were found also between resilience and covitality domains.
EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION ISSUES WITH AN EMPLOYEE WHO IS A MEMBER OF THE TRADE UNION
No full textThe aim of the article is to state the main problems concerning employment termination with an employee who is a member of the trade union, and to work out the proposals on solutions of the problematic questions.Problems of termination of issues with and employee who is a member of the trade union are considered in the article. 110 clause the 1 part of the Labour Law determines that an Employer is prohibited to terminate Employment Contract with an Employee who is a member of the trade union if there is no preliminary agreement with a certain trade union. But 101 clause 6 part of the Labour Law determines that an Employer before termination of an Employment Contract has to clarify if an Employee is a member of the trade union. Therefore an Employer needs to ask the trade union for permission to terminate labour relationships with an Employee who is a member of the trade union.101 clause 7 paragraph determines, that an Employer has the right to terminate labour relationship with an Employee, when an Employee is not able to continue employment because of the state of health, and there is a certain medical statement. In this case, before termination of the Employment Contract an Employer has to ask the trade union for permission, but the trade union in this case is not competent enough, because the medical statement was issued by an authorized person. The Trade Union Law came into force in 2014, this Law does not consider the case that trade unions should be united according to the branches, occupations and other principles, that is why in reality Employees could participate in several trade unions or in one, which does not specialize in a certain branch or occupation. The problems also occur in the situations, when an Employee learns that an Employer wishes to terminate Employment Contract. In these situations Employee is looking for possible actions, in order to defence himself and joins the trade union, and becomes its member, and stays there till the problems are solved.
CRITERIA OF THE QUALITY OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS AND THEIR IMPROVEMENT
No full textThe theoretical issues of criminal proceeding quality and its criteria, which have not been comprehensively discussed in the juridical literature of Latvia, are analyzed in this article. The purpose of the article is to represent the research on the classification of quality criteria. The objectives of the article are to analyze the quality criteria of the criminal proceeding, its types depending on the origin of the source of the criterion, on the resource used in terms of quality assessment, and also depending on the milestone or stage of the criminal proceeding. The applied research methods: the method of analysis of literature, the comparative legal method, and the method of inductio
THE VIEW TO COLLISION OF NORMS OF THE CRIMINAL LAW
No full textTopicality and issue of a subject-matter Collision of norms in criminal law is incompleteness of legal provisions concerning collision of norms in Criminal law, despite the fact that such legal provisions have been developed in legal doctrine and recognized in case law. Goal of an article is to summarize and show these legal provisions in order to help readers and law enforcers to discern between multiplicity and aggregation of criminal offences, and collision of norms of the Criminal law.In essence – collision of norms of Special part of Criminal law differs from multiplicity (especially a conceptual aggregation) of criminal offences with a count of criminal offences and bodies of the crime (corpus delicti) corresponding to such offences. In a case of multiplicity two or more separate (unitary) criminal offences correspond to two or more bodies of the crime (corpus delicti) which are set out in Criminal law. Collision of norms of Special part of Criminal law occurs where two or more bodies of the crime (corpus delicti) corresponds to one, separate (unitary) criminal offence.In collision between general and special norm of a Special part of Criminal law, special norm (provision) must be applied.In collision between partial (narrower) and complete (broader) norm of Special part of Criminal law, broader norm (provision) must be applied. If such partial (narrower) norm sets out more severe punishment than a complete (broader) norm, both norms must be applied in accordance with rules of conceptual aggregation.In collision between aggravating and mitigating norms (provisions) mitigating norm must be applied, that is – a norm with a lesser punishment.In collision between mitigating norms (provisions), more mitigating norm must be applied.In collision between aggravating norms, more aggravating norm must be applied, that is – a norm wish sets out more severe punishment.Collision of norms (provisions) in administrative violations law is also decided in accordance the same rules of legal norm collision resolution, despite the fact that Latvian Administrative violations code does not contain relevant legal provisions
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IN LATVIA
Get PDFSustainability reporting improve the quality of financial reporting to meet the needs of different users of corporate information. The traditional financial reporting is deficient in total, which underlines the need for sustainability reporting. In the nearest future, social and societal pressure to disclose information about a company\u27s compliance with sustainability issues will become a requirement for boards to set a strategic direction to ensure a sustainability reporting policy
PROTECTION OF BONA FIDE ACQUIRERS OF REAL ESTATE
Get PDFGood faith acquisition in real estate in Latvian law is very little regulated, and is not defined directly in the regulatory enactments, while the protection of the good faith acquirer stems from interpretations of the legal provisions. In view of the lack of material-legal regulation and uncertainties in it, in particular, the question of obtaining good faith acquisition in real estate refers to conflicting and unpredictable case law - in seemingly similar situations, the court tends to take diametrically opposed decisions. The legislator has not developed guidelines and clear criteria for how, when and by which time, a good faith acquirer of real estate is protected. These conflicting decisions give rise to a debate in the public on the good faith acquirer institute in general and on how the legal provisions relating to it are to be interpreted
TESTIMONY OF THE ACCUSED PERSON AND ITS CHECKING IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
Get PDFOn July 6, 2020, the law “Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law” entered into force, which significantly changed the attitude of the legislator towards the right of the accused to testify. The aim of the study is to examine the testimony of the accused and their examination, paying special attention to the examination of the testimony of the accused in court. The object of the research is the testimony of the accused person and their examination in the criminal proceedings. Tasks of the research: 1) to find out the status of the testimony of the accused from the point of view of proof; 2) to analyze the regulation of the testimony of the accused and the legal consequences after the amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law of 6 July 2020; 3) to summarize the practice of the Supreme Court in 2020-2022; 4) to develop conclusions and proposals for solving the identified problems. Hypothesis of the research: the problem of the accused\u27s testimony became relevant after the contradictory amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law, which entered into force on July 6, 2020, the uniform application of which is not ensured in practice
ADAPTATION PROCEDURE OF THE TEST OF ASSERTIVE BEHAVIOUR
Get PDFThe problem of assertiveness as a condition of self-actualization is actively developed by both, theorists and practitioners. In order to explore it, more than 30 different tests are being developed by the scientists. However, most of them have common drawback.In reality, behavioural acts that in one cultural environment are perceived as manifestations of assertiveness, in other context it can be interpreted as aggression or perceived as completely unacceptable. The purpose of this study was to select an assertiveness test created in a similar culture, translate it into Latvian and test for reliability. Both, direct and reverse translation was carried out, which was discussed with the author of the test. Repeated pilot testing indicate to high reliability of a translated version of the test.
INTERDISCIPLINARY DOCTORAL STUDIES AS A NEW EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY IN LATVIA
Get PDFDoctoral studies are the first stage of an academic career, which applies to both the academic doctoral study programme and the professional doctoral programme. Over the past two decades, the role and tasks of doctoral studies have changed dramatically, especially in Europe. Doctoral studies have become an important link between the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area and its main task is to provide those with doctoral degrees with the best qualifications for the creation, implementation and diffusion of new knowledge and innovations. Interdisciplinarity is trending. Nowadays scientists, researchers, professionals face up with the global problems. This global problem usually is unsolvable and complex by individual fields of science. Therefore, interdisciplinarity is vital in educational process as well as n science. Interdisciplinary approach in thus field is challenging tasks for researchers and persons involved in educational process. Nevertheless, if Doctoral Programme is designed based on Interdisciplinarity, doctoral level studies in areas that cannot be accommodated in one of the departmental doctoral programs, could give broader and more unique research results. Interdisciplinary approach on doctoral level programme helps as well meet the individually designed interests or researcher. Bridging many disciplines together there is possible to provide novel and significant researches
