Attitudes towards COVID-19 era
Get PDFThe SARS CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic and the COVID-19 disease impacted the educational system
and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). University institutionalism, understood as academic, professional and
labor regulations, can be explained from its attitudinal dimensions. In this way, the provisions against or in favor
of anti-COVID-19 policies, consisting of distancing and confinement, anticipate risk scenarios of contagion,
illness and death. Attitudes towards anti-COVID-19 institutionalism predict scenarios of stigma,
entrepreneurship, innovation, training or performance. The importance of attitudes, as long as they are measured
as anti- or pro-confinement and distancing dispositions in the face of pandemic, lies in their explanatory capacity
for risk exposure behaviors. Therefore, the diagnosis of attitudes in students selected for professional practices
and social services in public health institutions will allow us to appreciate the intentions and decisions of exposure
to risks associated with the health crisis. The objective of the present work was to specify a model for the study of
attitudes towards the effects of the pandemic on the environment. An exploratory, cross-sectional and correlational
work was carried out with 100 students, considering their confinement and intensive use of electronic technologies,
devices and networks. A factorial structure was found that explained 35% of the total variance, although the
research design limited the results to the study setting, suggesting the extension of the work towards the contrast
of the proposed model
Remote criminal trial – fair trial?
Get PDFCC BYOne of the most important procedural rights of the individual, without which it would be impossible to defend all other potentially
violated individual rights, including those potentially violated during a pandemic, is the constitutional right to a court enshrined in Article
6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 47 of the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights. The health crisis
has plagued many judicial systems in the absence of specific regulations that would provide a clear answer to the question of how to pursue
justice in court, and especially to what extent it is possible to use the form of remote – working. This article, analyzes the question of
whether the entire criminal trial can take place remotely and, if yes, whether remote criminal trial meets the requirements of due process:
both substantive and procedural. The article analyzes the basic requirements of a fair trial, such as the right to be present and be heard, the
right to defense; the right to trial within a reasonable time; the right to a public trial. However, even after all issues have been resolved, a
more in-depth discussion on the compliance of entire remote criminal proceedings with the principles of a fair trial is needed. The practical
analysis of the scientific problem is based mainly on the legal regulation of ECHR and relevant case law of the ECtHR, as well as the
experience of two well-known to the authors jurisdictions - Lithuania and Ukraine - in the context of the pandemic
Key Features and Essence of Self-Management Application: Theoretical Aspect
Get PDFThe majority of the existing self-management literature is devoted to medical definitions of self-management.
In fact, self-management has a much broader concept than we might think. Everyone on the planet
must determine what their life's main purpose is, as well as what their most important goals and objectives have
always been. It is the most important aspect of self-management because it is the behavior that must be accepted
in order for desired changes to occur in one's life and workplace. It could be mentioned, that it is very important
for personal career development. This should become a habit, which can be accomplished through extensive self-improvement,
resilience development, and the ability to think rationally. There are numerous management styles,
but we must start with ourselves, with an understanding and knowledge of self-management. Today's emphasis on
teamwork, new opportunities, and self-governing working groups, and also self-management, provides people
with the advantage of being able to take care of themselves at work and in general. Personnel self-government
and self-development are becoming important factors in the survival of the economy in market conditions,
strengthening the position of management in various countries. In different nations, self-government and personnel
development are becoming important factors in the economy's survival in market conditions, strengthening
management positions. The purpose of the article is to investigate various research studies in order to demonstrate
the importance of self-management. The paper investigates the characteristics and essence of various approaches
to self-management, emphasizing their importance in the workplace and in daily life in order to assist potential
employees in achieving their goals. It enables you to assess ethics, social responsibility, and emotions in relation
to self-management development. The research relied on theoretical data gathered from international scientists
as well as online resources. Several scientific research methods were used in the study, such as literature analysis
and synthesis, the monographic method, and content analysis
The Change of Legal System and Human Rights Violations in Turkey after the Coup Attempt on July 15, 2016
Get PDFThis article examines the legal system in Turkey, from
the formation of the Turkish Republic in 1923 to the present day. The
amendments to the Turkish Constitution, from a democratic point of
view, are presented, and the aim of Turkey to join the European Union
– how close it was and how human rights violations, turning to authoritarian
presidential regime, led to the withdrawal of Turkey from the list
of candidates to the European Union – is assessed. This article focuses
on different transitions of the Turkish legal system over the past century
and how the system was used in the political ambitions of the most recent
leader of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The failed coup of July 15, 2016,
is analyzed, and the subsequent repressions, arrests, and human rights
violations are presented in this article. Possible remedies – such as raising
awareness, human rights campaigns, and social and psychological help
to rehabilitate the victims of repressions in post-coup Turkey – are also
introduced. Several cases, including those of a pregnant woman, a law
student, and a child, are presented in this paper. The Gulen movement,
which is accused of and denies plotting the coup, is also introduced and
analyzed. Turkey’s place in the global Rule of Law Index is looked at, and
the factors leading to the decline of its rating are presented and analyzed
Perceived maternal disapproval of friends: How mothers shape and respond to child and friend adjustment problems
Get PDFCC BY 4.0The present study examines relations between adjustment problems and
perceptions of maternal disapproval of friends in a sample of Lithuanian public
middle-school students. The participants (ages 10 to 14) were 284 children
(148 boys, 136 girls) who were involved in 142 stable friendships. Each friend
described their own conduct problems, emotional problems, and perceptions
of maternal disapproval of friends twice during the same academic year
(M = 14.4 weeks apart). Dyadic analyses replicated previous findings in that
one friend’s conduct and emotional problems forecast changes in the
same problems in the other friend. Greater initial problems also anticipated
increases in children’s’ perceptions of disapproval of friends by their own—
but not their friend’s—mother, highlighting maternal efforts to manage the
relations of troubled children. These efforts met with mix success. On the one
hand, maternal disapproval of friends did not result in subsequent declines in
adjustment problems among their own children; to the contrary, the conduct
problems of boys increased with greater maternal involvement. On the other
hand, adjustment problems declined among children whose friends reported
higher levels of maternal disapproval, suggesting that maternal friendship
management may interfere with the spread of problems between children
An Assessment of the Impact of Legal Regulation on Financial Security in OECD Countries
Get PDFCC BY 4.0The recurrent economic and financial crises expose the state, enterprises, and households to
a range of financial risks and negative financial consequences. As a result, governments are seeking
the most efficient measures of legal regulation and other measures ensuring financial security in order
to address financial insecurity. The financial security can be considered from a variety of perspectives,
and this research proposes that microeconomic and macroeconomic indicators be taken into account
when assessing the financial security situation. The results of this research confirmed that legal
regulation has a significant positive impact on financial security in OECD countries during the
analysis period. Based on the results of the study, it can be argued that legal regulation, including anti-corruption measures, must be an essential part of the financial security strategies being developed.
The studies carried out provide a platform for further research, which will allow identification of
regulatory measures that would most effectively contribute to financial security needs in individual
OECD countries
The Importance of Philosophy in Resolving Nigeria’s Security Issues
Get PDFThe significance of security cannot be overstated, as it is required for human stability or peaceful
coexistence. Security entails the protection of nations, communities, as well as individuals against dangerous attacks.
The study looked at disturbing security issues in Nigeria, such as the terror activities of Boko Haram, banditry, and
militancy. The study exposes that it is the failure of the government to attend to fundamental issues that has led to the
aforementioned issues. The study looked at the current state of security in Nigeria and thus examined the importance
of philosophy to achieving a peaceful and secure society. The method of content analysis was adopted and,
consequently, reveals that philosophy has an essential role to play in resolving the insecurity issues in Nigeria.
Furthermore, the study extracted data from secondary sources such as journals, text, and internet sources. The study
also comprehensively looked at the concept of security and further exposes that philosophy enables us to understand
the obligations and duties of citizens to the government and other members of society, as well as the obligations and
duties of the government to the people. Accordingly, we suggest the application of philosophy as a tool to resolve
security issues in Nigeria. Consequently, we conclude that philosophy can play an essential role in resolving security
issues in Nigeria

No full textCC BY-NC-ND 4.0Effective public management is a guarantee for ensuring stable long-term rural development in Ukraine. The aim of this research is to develop a set of directions for improving the
efficiency of the public management of Ukrainian rural areas based on the assessment of their development, the identification of problems of rural management, and lessons learnt from the experience
of the European Union. The following methods are used: quantitative analysis of statistical data on
the socio-economic development of Ukrainian rural areas and agriculture in Ukraine over a 10-year
time period using one-dimensional statistical methods (UT) based on dependent, representative, and
probabilistic sampling; comparative assessment of public management and state administration by
means of literary review; “goal tree”, SMART-technology, and the analytical form of the Boolean algebra logical function used for forming a goal hierarchy of every subject of rural public management
in Ukraine, as well as achieving the common general goal of public management in Ukrainian rural
areas; formation of an integral indicator for assessing the quality of rural public management within
the framework of the developed assessment methodology; and quantitative identification of consumers’ key requirements regarding the services of state and municipal government institutions within the
framework of effective rural public management based on the use of panel data. This article reveals
trends and problems of rural public management in Ukraine and concludes that it is necessary to improve the efficiency of such management, for which a set of optimization measures is being developed
