Gender-Based Violence: Typology and Solutions
Get PDFThere are a few solutions that could at least influence the decrease of GBVAW. One of them is raising awareness, informing people about their rights and opportunities to seek help and support is crucial. Victims of GBV often experience psychological problems which come together with stigma, shame and feeling of deserving the violence. Raising awareness could be done differently, using different platforms. The social media took its stand in solving important social issues. Celebrities, influencers, micro-influencers cover the topics of GBVAW and information on how to seek help. Undoubtedly, the work of NGOs and women shelters are important as never. Thus, Educational pages, just as other pragmatic apparatuses committed to handling lewd behavior, savagery as well as sexual orientation correspondence is a need. One of the ways to raise awareness and empower women and girls is to encourage victims to speak out and seek help both legal and psychological as well as the support of the family and friends. Therefore, one of the paramount importance is to erase the shame and stigma around the GBVAW. Undoubtedly, the legal framework shall support women in their intentions to seek help. Unfortunately, this became one of the most significant problems for several countries. In numerous states, enactment tending to sex based savagery against ladies is non-existent, deficient or ineffectively actualized. As well as seeking financing to sustain the women’s shelters and hotline. That became apparent during the lockdown, a lot of the women’s support centers had to close due to the shortage of financing. COVID-19 in addition to making a lot of harm to the state of GBVAW in the world at the same time brought new ideas to fight with it. Thus, during the lockdown, some of the police forces introduced special apps for reporting a GBVAW crime. Thus, an aggressor could not understand that a report had been made. This model of reporting is an excellent tool to seek help especially when a situation is highly dangerous
Economic Model for Assessing the Return on Investments in Structural Health Monitoring Systems
Get PDFurpose: The purpose of this article is the description of the approach to the economic assessment of a highly-effective system for state monitoring of structures ensuring an increase in safety and economic efficiency for utilization of complex engineering structures and buildings considering all existing risks.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The essence of the approach is in obtaining the state control data of these structures and buildings from sensors, which detect hidden damages and cracks, monitor consequences of shocks, corrosion, tension, and overheating.
Findings: All the collected data make up the predictive analysis using artificial intelligence, which can and must analyze this data in real-time mode.
Practical Implications: Such a way for monitoring allows for assessing the state of the structures and repairing or replacing them before the critical moments occur, thus significantly reducing the cost of servicing data from complex engineering objects, as well as it ensures their reliability and safety. Digitalization should be introduced in all of the industrial sectors, including aviation, where effectiveness, reliability, and safety are closely interconnected.
Originality/Value: Thanks to the development of the state monitoring systems and the economic efficiency of their use in critical structures, the possibility, and intensiveness of their improvement are growing. This has great value and pushes modern productions forward
Legal Politics of Party Simplification in Indonesia: A Study Based on the Political Party Regulatory Model
Get PDFAlthough the idea of simplifying the party system is a noble endeavour, the choice of legal politics for simplifying political parties must be democratic and adhere to the model of structuring political parties with the right regulatory model. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the nature of political law and regulatory models for the simplification of the party system applied in Indonesia. This research is normative legal research which focuses on the study of statutory regulations and doctrines, while the research is descriptive-exploratory with statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used are secondary data consisting of primary and secondary legal materials. The data obtained were processed and analyzed qualitatively, comprehensively, and completely. Based on the identification results, the idea of a political direction for simplifying the party system in Indonesia began in the general election period of 2004, 2009, and 2014 through changes to the law on political parties and general elections. But unfortunately, the simplification of the party system and the law has not been able to be directed at a simple party system consisting of 3-5 political parties, besides that the simplification of the party system has also not been focused on simplifying the party system participating in the General election. Every shift in legal politics from the simplification of the party system during the general election shows the democratic nature of legal politics and adopts a simplified legal model from the party system prescription model, the licensing model, the promotion model, and the protection model
Tourism Industry Perspectives in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic Based on the Sustainable Development Concept
Get PDFThe relevance of this study is in the growing popularity of the concept of sustainable development in the tourism sector. The purpose of the article is to determine a systematic basis for the assessment of the possibility of sustainable tourism development at the regional level, as well as determining relevant vectors. In addition, the study considers a number of studies that allow for defining sustainable tourism, as well as determining groups of indicators affecting it. The leading method of studying tourism structure as part of a regional socio-economic system is topological analysis, which allows for identifying functionally significant combinations of factors. Incidence matrices of the structure of indicators with included weighting factors influencing the sustainable development of tourism, analysis of their q-connectivity, the results of the dimension of simplexes, the number of connected components and communication chains, the structural vectors of the complexes were determined and presented. The study proved the presence of simplexes in the complexes. The effects on simplexes can bring the desired result in the quickest and most efficient way. Since tourism is an integral part of environmental, social and economic sectors, and the sustainable development itself can be regarded as a unified system of interaction between them, it is possible to use the above factors in each of the sectors on a case-by-case basis in any territory or enterprise to conserve resources, eradicate poverty and ensure well-being. This research attempts to formalize the factors that determine the sustainable development of tourist destination that gives the full basis for a systematic study of the territory to assess the sustainability of tourism development. The topological analysis shows the mutual influence of simplicial complexes by means of a chain of connections leading to sustainable development
The Idea of Implementing a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the Anti-Bribery Management System in Corruption Crime Management by Corporations in Indonesia
Get PDFCorporations are entities that have a large role in society, there are many positive roles to life, but not a few negative existences of activities that arise, including corruption. The purpose of this article is to analyze the implementation of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) in dealing with Corruption by Corporations in Indonesia. The method used in this article is normative juridical legal research. This article concludes ways to eradicate corrupt acts carried out remarkably, in turn experiencing obstacles in terms of the functioning of criminal law, even it can be said to be counter-productive. This is a concrete step towards the idea of implementing DPA as a restorative approach in the context of tackling corruption acts committed by corporations. By using the Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS), it is expected that corrective steps will be obtained from the corporation
Features of Corporate Liability for Violation of Competition Law
Get PDFThe relevance of the study is determined by the need to establish corporate responsibility for breach of legislation. In this regard, this paper is aimed at identifying features of competition and corporate responsibility for breach of competition law. Particular attention is drawn to the case when corporations become monopolists and, in fact, dictate market rules. Consideration of the development aspect of competition law suggests that it largely limits the growth of corporate business and forces corporations to formulate strategies for splitting the business, thereby determining the conduct of business. In the modern world, where business is in many respects globalised, such measures can lead to a decrease in market indicators and form a dependence on the operations of certain corporations in the local market. The leading method to the study of this issue is the modelling method, which allows to consider this problem as a targeted and organised procedure related to the improvement and application of competition law, as well as the protection and development of competition. The novelty of the study lies in the possibility of limiting the activities of a corporation in a market that is occupied by it and where there is no practical competition. The authors consider the mechanism of self-regulation as a source of domestic competition law. The paper determines that self-regulation processes are also subject to state supervision and thus corporate self-regulation becomes an aspect of the regulation of competition enforcement by the state at large. The practical significance of the study is determined by the structural feature of the corporation as a quasi-state mechanism and the regulation of external relations between the state and corporations as tax residents on this basis
Juvenile Offenders: Reasons and Characteristics of Criminal Behavior
Get PDFThe article examines the phenomenon of “juvenile delinquency”, assesses its actual state and establishes the tendencies of its manifestations. Juvenile delinquency in Ukraine as a part of crime in a broad sense arises and develops under the influence of certain determinants. The study of the causes and conditions of juvenile delinquency remains relevant today, which indicates the special danger of this kind of crime for the development of society. The purpose of the article is to study the state of the problem in Ukraine and the experience of other countries in minimising the criminal behaviour of minors in the process of property and non-property relations. The leading approach that was used when writing the article is the comparison and analysis of modern materials on the problems of criminal behaviour of criminals who have not reached the age of majority. As a result, it was possible to identify the social characteristics of juvenile criminals and the reasons for their criminal behaviour. Considerable attention is paid to the factors influencing the commission of crimes: a dysfunctional family, shortcomings of the educational process, the problem of alcohol and drug use by minors. In addition, some directions for the prevention of juvenile delinquency were developed. The applied value is the ability to change legislation in terms of work and correction of minor criminals’ behaviour
Legal Consequences of Mock Transactions
Get PDFIn order to increase the material benefits, in order not to pay taxes or to pay less, in order to conceal information and for other purposes, the parties entering into legal relations become participants in mock transactions. The practise of mock transactions is to replace the conclusion of a single document, such as a sale one, with the conclusion of a contract of charitable contribution. The practise of using mock transactions is quite common and it is almost impossible to prove the nature of the transaction. Therefore, this work is aimed at investigating the institution of the mock transaction, as well as to develop recommendations for the practical application of the rules governing this institution. To conduct this study, the materials of the practise of dispute resolution on the application of the consequences of fictitious transactions by the courts of Ukraine, the dialectical method of cognition, the formal-legal method, the hermeneutic-legal method were used. As a result of research the signs of mock transactions, approaches of detection of fictitious transactions are established. It can be concluded that the distinguishing feature of fictitious and mock transactions is the orientation of the will of the parties to the transaction on the occurrence of legal consequences
A Miscellaneous Hindrances to an Effective Response to Cable Theft in Durban Railway Stations, South Africa
Get PDFThis study focuses on notable miscellaneous hindrances to an effective response to cable theft in Durban railway stations of South Africa. From a qualitative standpoint; data was collected from Eight (8) purposively selected individuals to solicit their respective perceptions and experiences on this subject. This involved the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) ‘Security Personnels – Cable Theft Investigators and Cable Theft Railway Patrollers, all involved in combating cable theft in Durban railway stations. Inductive Thematic Analysis was used for data analysis. This study found that scrap metal dealers are the major key contributors to cable theft in the Durban railway stations; and also the value of copper cable on the market promotes the exponential rise of cable theft. It was also established that, there was no proper protection of the rail infrastructure, and cable thieves get lighter sentences. It was further stablished that cable theft is perpetuated by the shortage of indispensable resources and workforce or police visibility in the stations. For the recommendations: More attention must be paid to scrap metal dealers by offering strict rules on the issuing of trading licenses. Moreover, severe stiff sentences should be handed to pontetial offenders and better working relations should be established, with more resources geared to the PRASA security department
