Full textAbstract:
This essay discusses the history and ethics of academics’ intervention in the legislative process. Academics, and even our professional associations, have explicitly worked to change legislative operations through advocacy and consulting. I argue that subjecting such interventions to the research process to evaluate their effects makes them more ethical and transparent. Research is monitored and guided by professional associations, institutional review boards, and journals in ways that advocacy and consulting are not. If academics are already intervening in legislative processes, such efforts will be more fruitful if conducted as part of a research program. This program, which I call “evidence-based legislating,” aims to improve the evaluation of legislative processes just as the movement for evidence-based policymaking reshaped academics’ and lawmakers’ approach to policy evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Helmets are effective in preventing brain injury and fatality in cyclists. Methods to promote their use include legislation and non-legislative interventions (NLIs) such as education, social interventions, and subsidies. These have been systematically reviewed and proven effective in pediatric populations. We conducted a scoping review regarding NLIs to promote helmet use amongst adult cyclists. Methods: We conducted a scoping review of NLIs to promote helmet use amongst cyclists age 18 or older. PRISMA guidelines were followed. Databases searched included MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and SportDiscus, in addition to grey literature. Articles were excluded if non-English, focused on age <18, on legislative interventions, or did not report on outcomes related to helmet use or ownership. Study inclusion and data extraction were conducted in duplicate. Data were extracted regarding participant demographics, setting, intervention details and effects, and were reported using descriptive statistics with a narrative synthesis. A limited quality assessment was conducted. Results: A total of 16 papers were included, stratified as 4 randomized-controlled trials and 12 pre-post studies. Only 4 were specific to adults. Community cyclists (5/16, 31%) and community members were most commonly targeted, with most interventions taking place in the community (8/16, 50%) or in a healthcare setting (4/16, 25%). Most interventions were multi-faceted, involving components of community awareness programs, education, information distribution, helmet giveaways and monetary incentives, use of mass media, motivational interviewing, and social marketing. The studies were heterogeneous in quality. Changes in helmet rate use varied between -6% and 26%, with half the studies (8/16, 50%) noting a statistically significant increase. Duration of follow-up of helmet use rates following the intervention varied between 4.5 weeks and 11 years (median 1.38 years, mean 3.0 years.) Conclusion: NLIs to encourage bicycle helmet use were frequently multi-faceted and generally associated with an increase in use amongst adults. Studies were heterogenous in quality, varied in their targeted audiences and often not focused on adults. Further evidence is needed to better characterize the efficacy of non-legislative interventions to achieve sustained helmet use in adult cyclists.

Standard pay-as-you-go pension system is facing long-term and short-term sustainability challenges in several countries. Possible replacement of standard pension system might be in a form of private pension savings. Private pension savings are meaningful only if they provide sufficiently high returns. The aim of this manuscript is to analyse performance of Slovak pension funds and factors impacting this performance, especially government interventions. This manuscript is focused on enhanced Carhart four-factor model, Bollen and Busse four-factor model, and Fama and French five-factor model based on 23 pension funds from Slovakia from period starting September 2012 and ending September 2019. These models have been extended by other variables describing bond market factors and impact of regulatory interventions on performance of pension funds. Results of analysis have proved that legislative interventions have impact on performance of analysed pension funds. Each legislative intervention has caused average daily yield to decrease by about 0.01% to 0.03%. Findings described in this manuscript can contribute to better knowledge of pension funds for both contributors who need to decide whether to participate in the second pillar or not, as well as for regulators who develop legislation measurements in this area.

Full textAbstract:
The article outlines the features of the development of agricultural legislation of Ukraine aimed at regulation of agricultural financialinterventions with grain. Since 1995, there have been several legislative attempts in Ukraine to introduce state intervention procurementof agricultural products, primarily grain, but no effective mechanism for such operations has been introduced. The enshrinementin agrarian legislation of the model of agricultural interventions through the organized agricultural market, in particular the Agra -rian Exchange, deprived access to this form of state support and the method of selling grain to small and medium-sized producers. Stateagrarian interventions were not fully funded by the state. Significant defects are also inherent for the legal regulation of financial interventionswith grain. Proposals of agrarian law science to improve the legal regulation of agrarian interventions based on the internationalexperience were ignored by the legislator.The author argues that the exclusion in December 2020 from the Law of Ukraine «On State Support of Agriculture of Ukraine»of the provisions, regulating such a form of state agricultural support as agricultural interventions, is unfounded and premature.The article conducts a comparative legal study of agricultural interventions in Ukraine and the EU, as a result of which the proposalsto restore the provisions of agrarian interventions in the Law of Ukraine «On State Support of Agriculture of Ukraine» are substantiated.At the same time, legal regulation should be based on an updated model of agricultural interventions, which has to be basedon the EU regulations in this area, in particular: a) stabilization of the agricultural market in the mode of state intervention, primarilyoff-exchange trade; b) enshrining in the legislation of Ukraine a separate rule on the quality of products, offered for the interventionprocurement; c) the formation of minimum volumes of consignments of agricultural products, sold under state interventions.

AbstractObjectiveTo verify the efficacy of school-based interventions aimed at reducing sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among adolescents in order to develop or improve public health interventions.DesignSystematic review of interventions targeting adolescents and/or the school environment.SettingThe following databases were investigated: MEDLINE/PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL and EMBASE. Proquest Dissertations and Theses was also investigated for unpublished trials.SubjectsAdolescents were defined as individuals between the ages of 12 and 17 years.ResultsA total of thirty-six studies detailing thirty-six different interventions tested among independent samples (n152 001) were included in the review. Twenty interventions were classified as educational/behavioural and ten were classified as legislative/environmental interventions. Only six interventions targeted both individuals and their environment. Over 70 % of all interventions, regardless of whether they targeted individuals, their environment or both, were effective in decreasing SSB consumption. Legislative/environmental studies had the highest success rate (90·0 %). Educational/behavioural interventions only and interventions that combined educational/behavioural and legislative/environmental approaches were almost equally effective in reducing SSB consumption with success rates of 65·0 and 66·7 %, respectively. Among the interventions that had an educational/behavioural component, 61·5 % were theory-based. The behaviour change techniques most frequently used in interventions were providing information about the health consequences of performing the behaviour (72·2 %), restructuring the physical environment (47·2 %), behavioural goal setting (36·1 %), self-monitoring of behaviour (33·3 %), threat to health (30·6 %) and providing general social support (30·6 %).ConclusionsSchool-based interventions show promising results to reduce SSB consumption among adolescents. A number of recommendations are made to improve future studies.

Omo-Eboh, Omogbai I. "Insurance law in Nigeria with particular reference to legislative intervention." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 1990. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1181/.
Full textAbstract:
Insurance affects a substantial number of the Nigerian population who take out insurance cover for protection against fortuitous risks or as a form of financial investment and security. This has led to a growing insurance industry in Nigeria. Over the years, a number of common law principles developed in the English courts have been adopted and applied by courts in Nigeria in the settlement of disputes arising from insurance contracts. Certain aspects of these principles and insurance practice are in need of reform as they tend to defeat the expectation of insurance consumers. As such, the legal principles have undergone significant statutory reforms in different countries including Nigeria. It is against this background that the thesis examines some aspects of the common law principles as applied in Nigeria and the impact which indigenous enactments and recent statutory reforms have on them. The work, though not primarily intended as a comparative study, draws from the approach to insurance reform in other common law countries, and recommendations on further reform in Nigeria are made where appropriate. The thesis is mainly directed at the protection of the insured and potential insured, an aspect of what is often known as consumer protection in insurance contracts. Thus, it is those aspects of the law affecting the insured that are mainly examined. These include the formation and documentation of insurance contracts, the role of insurance intermediaries, and the law governing warranties, conditions, non-disclosure and misrepresentations in insurance. The work concludes with an examination of judicial control and governmental regulation of insurance.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents human flourishment as the theoretical foundation from which to pursue social policy in the post-colony. Accepting this theoretical foundation, the purpose of this thesis is to reflect on the role and potential of small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) in South Africa. Further, this thesis will consider in what manner the law can support the realisation of the potential of South African SMMEs. The main value of this thesis is to illustrate the positive distributional impact that a human flourishment approach to legal intervention can have for a property system, which has the objective of supporting the realisation of the capabilities of persons in society. This value is illustrated in this thesis by analysing the relationship between the South African SMME and retail banking sectors. This thesis has chosen to focus on the SMME sector because of the role identified for SMMEs in South Africa's growth strategy, the National Development Plan (NDP). This role includes recognising SMMEs as being an entry point for previously excluded persons into the mainstream economy. A recent report by the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) highlights that the potential of SMMEs in South Africa remain unrealised. The report identifies key barriers to SMME flourishment in South Africa. This thesis focuses on the following identified barriers in the report: (i) the existing legal framework with respect to SMMEs; (ii) existing government agency support available to SMMEs; and (iii) the ability of SMMEs to access finance and credit. A primary finding in this thesis is existing credit structures in the retail banking sector are negatively biased towards the black population group. This has an adverse impact on black entrepreneurs. It is suggested in this thesis that this negative bias is a consequence of apartheid. Apartheid had the effect of regulating the access that black people had to the mainstream economy and their ability to acquire and accumulate property. Recognising that SMMEs have an identified role to play in South Africa's growth strategy, this thesis finds that legislative intervention in the retail banking sector is needed in order to overcome this negative bias and to support increased SMME access to finance and credit. This thesis interprets the preamble to the Constitution, as well as the concept of transformative constitutionalism, as mandating a capabilities-approach to human development. It is for this reason that a property system with a distributional outcome that supports the realisation of the capabilities of persons in society is preferred by this thesis. It is only once there is a real commitment of moving the majority of South Africans into the mainstream economy will inroads to tackling inequality and poverty be made.

Full textAbstract:
Major breakthroughs in biotechnology are leading to the emergence of novel methods to select and alter future individuals’ genomes. Genetic intervention technology is evolving from the medical practice of screening for life-threatening congenital malformations to the selection against embryos that might develop mild disabilities. Scientific research suggests that heritable genome-editing technology would enable the custom alteration and the enhancement of human biological characteristics, including appearance, athletic and intellectual abilities. These novel developments and their potential long-term impacts raise the question of how effective are the laws on genetic interventions in setting limits to rapidly evolving biotechnologies. This thesis examines genetic intervention laws in the United Kingdom and France and shows it exhibits a pattern of continuous legal changes over the past several years to permit a broadening range of genetic interventions that were previously prohibited. This pattern is characterized by the regulatory licensing of genetic interventions that specific legal restrictions have sought to disallow, such as screening against conditions that are mild, treatable and not predominantly determined by genes. Moreover, governments are currently considering replacing their bans on inheritable human genetic modification with regulations that will allow the alteration of genes linked to conditions deemed “serious” and for “therapeutic” purposes. This proposed regulatory model would enable licensing the very same type of genomic alterations intended to be prohibited – genetic enhancements of human physiological and cognitive capabilities. This legal change pattern is prima facie inconsistent with the key legislative objectives and relevant international instruments, which seek to restrict these particular genetic interventions. The overarching objectives underpinning the restrictions are to prevent a pattern in which the legal boundaries would become gradually laxer, attempts to improve human heredity and the associated human rights, societal and medical impacts. Furthermore, the pattern in which the legal boundaries are becoming laxer over time stems from drawing the lines between permissible and impermissible genetic interventions using language that is vague, subjective and places few limits on the rules’ scope. A law reform can address the current limit-setting challenges by employing clearer conceptual and normative distinctions and by articulating them using language that gives greater attention to clarity, reduced subjectivity, and explicitly delimits the rules’ scope. The thesis offers a blueprint for such a reform, which includes suggestions for specific legislative amendments, clearer conceptual distinctions and newly developed legal tests. The proposed law reform aims to offer a new avenue to advance towards the key policy goal of preventing the misuse of genetic intervention technologies by strengthening its governance.

Full textAbstract:
While investment incentives are increasingly employed by the developing economies, the vast amount of literature has failed to reach a consensus on the role of incentive regimes. A fundamental problem with the previous econometric studies is that they assume a mature market condition, under which the government should remain outside FDI competition. However, in reality, most developing countries lack a mature market and market-oriented regulatory institutions. This thesis adds to the conventional wisdom by examining whether and how Chinese investment incentive regimes have been successful in harnessing FDI during the last three decades. Like many developing economies, China is still in the process of building a market economy. The striking ability of China to attract FDI with numerous incentives presents a meaningful laboratory for examining the role of investment incentives.
In contrast to most previous economic studies, this thesis does not attempt to examine the economic mechanisms of investment incentives. The basic presumption of this thesis is that incentive measures are instrument of state intervention with designed policy goals. A policy-oriented approach has thus been adopted, under which the role of investment incentives is examined against precisely defined policy objectives in a particular policy context. In China’s case, the efficacy of investment incentives is shown by a strategic and dynamic correlation between the investment incentive regime and its achieved development goals. In the given policy context, their functions cannot be replaced by more desirable instruments due to the political and economic constraints.
Besides the economic evaluation, the study adds the legal dimension of evaluation on investment incentives. From a legal perspective, the regulatory space for developing countries is increasingly defined by the international legal regime. Investment incentives should be framed in a way to balance national interests and the level of protection required for foreign investment. The evolution of China’s incentive regime presents a good example to integrate global consensus with domestic imperatives. By unifying its income tax system, China adopted an incentive regime generally consistent with its WTO commitments and could be utilized to its advantages.
However, serious problems inherent in the incentive system have already emerged in China, which may hamper its economic development in the long run. The thesis shows that the state’s capacity to channel FDI towards development goals is declining, as its intrusiveness has given way to arbitrariness. A top-down approach deprives foreign investors of their channels to communicate their opinions to the policymakers. The local arbitrariness and corruption in incentive implementation will compound the problem and hinder the inflows of high quality foreign investment.
The thesis then proposes that the investment incentive regime in China needs to be upgraded into a more legalized system with non-discrimination, transparency, coherence and an effective monitoring mechanism as its central features. The legalization process would help to alleviate the negative effects of investment incentives. In the absence of a political infrastructure compatible with a rules-based system, the Chinese government needs to start with redefining the government-business relationship with a legal framework and reinforcing an independent judicial system.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
The distribution of power between the executive branch and the legislative branch in the realm of foreign policy is a delicate balance and one that has been debated since the Founding Fathers met in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787. The debate has gotten no less intense and no less crucial in the modern, nuclear age, and it remains unresolved. The Reagan administration's foray into Nicaragua during the 1980's and its confrontations with Congress during that time period illuminate the complexities of the power-sharing arrangement in foreign policy and offer the ideal case study of executive-legislative war power. The lessons to be drawn from America's involvement in Nicaragua are that the expanded Presidential power in the realm of foreign policy are necessary for the safety of the country in today's world, but dangerous without the vigorous oversight and ultimate check by Congress.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the laws state intervention in family harvest, focusing on families headed by women, families formed by homosexual, male single parenthood, multiparental families and, finally, relations with family benefits. In the present scenario, the family has become an important means of state intervention for disclosure amounts considered valid to be perpetuated, since it is within the family that human beings have the first contacts with what is considered acceptable in a society. Thus, this thesis, first time, aims to discuss the ways in which a State may intervene in society, for it will be studied both liberal ideology, as the social and paternalistic positions. Thus, there will be an analysis of the appropriate way to conduct interference, the propitious moments and social situations which require protection. Bearing in mind that the intervention may seek to develop full citizens and conscious, respectful of diversity and opposite positions, provided there is respect for social differences, beliefs and genres, increasing levels of education, and then spread the values of citizenship. Subsequently, the work will focus on interference made in family groupings, will be a study of the forms of interference occurring, it is adequate and what would be the most effective means to assist families to develop and have their rights, their ways of life and individuality protected by the democratic rule of law.
O objetivo do presente estudo será avaliar as intervenções estatais legislativas na seara familiar, tendo como foco as famílias chefiadas por mulheres, as famílias formadas por homoafetivos, a monoparentalidade masculina, famílias pluriparentais e, por fim, as relações com benefícios familiares. Tendo em mente a instituição familiar é um importante meio de intervenção do Estado para incentivar valores considerados como válidos de serem perpetuados, uma vez que é no seio familiar que os seres humanos têm os primeiros contatos com o que é esperado para viver em sociedade. Sendo assim, a presente dissertação, em um primeiro momento, tem como objetivo discutir sobre as formas pelas quais um Estado poderá intervir na sociedade e, para isso, serão estudados tanto a ideologia liberal como os posicionamentos sociais. Nesse sentido, será feita uma análise do caminho adequado para realizar intervenções, os momentos propícios, bem como as situações sociais as quais necessitam de tutela, tendo em mente que devem almejar o desenvolvimento de cidadãos plenos e conscientes, respeitadores da diversidade e de posições contrárias, por meio do respeito às diferenças sociais, de crenças e gêneros, aumentando os índices de educação para, depois, difundir valores de cidadania. Posteriormente o trabalho focará na intervenção realizada em grupamentos familiares, investigando as formas pelas quais ocorrem, se surtem efeito e qual seria o meio mais efetivo para auxiliar famílias a se desenvolverem e terem seus direitos, seus modos de vida e individualidade protegidos pelo Estado Democrático de Direito.

Full textAbstract:
Intimate Partner Violence continues to be a significant social problem in South Africa, requiring a systematised and effective response at multiple levels. The organisation at the centre of this research offers crisis intervention to victims of intimate partner violence, providing basic psychological support, legal information and referrals. The volunteer crisis interventionists are exposed to numerous in-depth accounts of violent and distressing victimisation, making them more vulnerable to vicarious traumatisation. Through this work, their prior assumptions about personal safety, the trustworthiness of other people, and basic justice in the world, are challenged. The challenge to these assumptions increases the likelihood of countertransference victim blaming responses, as it is often easier to hold the client responsible for the tragic event than for the support worker to transform their own assumptions about safety and justice. This victim blaming response is supported by the dominant patriarchal ideology which frequently seeks to maintain the systems of oppression, excusing the perpetrator and placing responsibility on the victim. It was therefore clear that in order to do this work effectively, volunteers needed to be trained to identify their countertransference reactions and emotional responses, as well as undergo a critical re-assessment of their ideas relating to intimate partner violence and victimisation. Using an Intervention Research paradigm, this research designed and developed a training programme based on transformative learning theory, moving away from traditional information models of training to a focus on emotional skills and critical self-insight. The phases of the intervention refined the intervention in order to ensure that the research objectives were met and that the programme could be easily replicated. The evaluation of each phase showed an increased capacity for critical insight, and evidence for a transformative shift in the trainees understanding and approach to intimate partner violence.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractArticle 19 defines violence broadly to include all forms of harm, encompassing physical, mental and sexual violence as well as non-intentional forms of harm, such as neglect. As such, Article 19 articulates full respect for the human dignity and physical and personal integrity of children as rights-bearing individuals. This requires a paradigm shift of caregiving and protection away from the perception of children primarily as victims. Article 19 sets out a comprehensive prohibition on all forms of violence towards children and enjoins State Parties to take all form all measures available to enforce this right. This article summarizes the four main attributes of Article 19 as follows: (1) All violence towards children is prohibited, frequency or severity of harm need not be demonstrated and violence is defined broadly to encompass all forms of violence towards children, personal, social and institutional, including physical and emotional harm as well as neglect, maltreatment, sexual abuse, and abandonment; (2) the right protects children from harm from their parents and legal guardians as well as when they are in the care of proxy caregivers, including school officials, hospital staff, daycares, sports programs, as well as custodial settings and alternative care arrangements; (3) States are required to give effect to this right through all appropriate measures: legislative, administrative, social and educational; and finally the call for comprehensive measures to eradicate violence against children is reinforced by the final attribute (4) this attribute insists that the range of interventions required to give effect to Article 19 rights includes measures to ensure effective identification, reporting, investigation, and treatment of all forms of harm to children.

Reasoning about the values and the techniques that are pointed out in the regulation of non-standard work, the A. intends to read through this lens a couple of regulatory interventions, at internal and EU level: the 2018 reform on non-standard employment contracts, in particular on fixed-term contracts (the so-called ‘Decreto dignità’), and the Directive no. 2019/1152 on transparent and predictable working conditions, that the Member States will have to implement by 2022, with a national legislation that will most probably affect the working conditions of the extreme forms of precarious work.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines six approaches to antistigma programming, moving from broad structural interventions to specific individual-level interventions. Three of these approaches (education, contact, and protest) have been widely discussed in the antistigma literature. This chapter also examines legislative reform, advocacy, and stigma self-management strategies. Stigma reduction is likely to be enhanced when multilayered approaches are created to simultaneously address individual, organizational, cultural, and structural change. When determining what strategy may best disrupt the stigmatization process, it is important to tailor the intervention to the nature of the problem, the needs of the target audience, and the specific outcomes to be achieved. To maximize success, antistigma programs must be based on a plausible theory of change and incorporate methods to systematically monitor program outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Healthcare interventions are concern of government policies, health service providers, civil society organizations and public. These interventions are mainly criticized with respect to their cost effectiveness. However, economic, social and health benefits of drug addiction rehabilitation services are not well understood and they remain relatively subsidized in comparison to other aspects of healthcare interventions. But, notwithstanding this, drug addiction rehabilitation services are generally financed with public funds in Turkey as like many other countries and this situation become subject to questioning when fiscal policies and cost effectiveness of these services are considered.
Based on this circumstances there is a great need for scientifically sound and practical financial and economic evaluation of substance abuse treatment services. In Turkey, recent legislative developments on substance abuse treatment services provide a baseline for structural evaluation of financial and economic feasibility of these services. In spite of ongoing methodological and empirical developments in economic evaluation of the primary health services, similar studies regarding addiction treatments are very rare in the literature. Correspondingly, methodological guidelines in this area are also very limited.
This study addresses these gaps by presenting a financial and economic evaluation of drug addiction rehabilitation services in Turkey considering urgent need of intervention in this area. Evaluation of these services is based on the basic requirements of a drug addiction rehabilitation center, which is determined by the related legislation in Turkey, and the evaluation was conducted according to the methodological principles presented by EMCDDA, European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addictions.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses monetary policy response to the world financial crisis and focuses more closely on the monetary policy of the Czech National Bank (CNB) at this time. Until 2007, the implementation of monetary policy in OECD countries was perceived very positively. However, the financial crisis has clearly shown that the world’s financial markets are highly interconnected, and this can have a major impact on individual national economies. Therefore, the monetary policy strategy has changed from a policy based on the so-called flexible inflation targeting. Ensuring price stability is emphasised as part of the monetary policy role of the CNB in the provisions of Article 98 of the Constitution, in the Czech Republic. CNB is perceived as one of the most independent central banks, the contituional dimension of its independence being confirmed by case law of the Czech Constitutional Court. In response to the financial crisis, CNB was forced to pursue unconventional monetary policy in the form of foreign exchange interventions between 2013 and 2017. However, during the time period of these interventions, CNB policy did not lead to achievement of the inflation target. Following the completion of foreign exchange interventions, CNB returned to conventional monetary policy through interest rates.

Full textAbstract:
The legal rule under which interest ceases to run when the amount of interest reaches the amount of the principal is known as a prohibition of ultra alterum tantum. Such a statutory limit on interest accumulation was previously contained in the 1978 Obligations Act, and was abolished in 1989. In the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, current proposals call for re-introduction of the prohibition of ultra alterum tantum in the legal regulation of interest. Whereas the proposed amendment to the Croatian Obligations Act seeks to limit the accumulation of default interest, the Draft of the Civil Code of the Republic of Serbia contains a legal restriction on the accumulation of contractual interest. On the basis of a comparative analysis of the rule on the prohibition of ultra alterum tantum in Austrian law, Slovenian law and the European Union law, the paper examines the eligibility and appropriateness of these proposals for legislative interventions in the regulation of interest in Croatian and Serbian law.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, the trend of using a helicopters in the operation of the helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) has been increasing. The reason is the wide range of uses of the helicopter, fast and safe transport of wounded people using new copters. Nevertheless, it is not possible to operate flights in poor weather conditions with a sufficient number of interventions. There is a need to develop new procedures for flying even under conditions other than VFR flight rules. The current state of helicopter technology in Slovakia allows it and therefore it is appropriate that new procedures using GNSS be created to establish a safe flight. The aim of the analysis is to evaluate the input factors available to the operator and to create a design approach based on the legislative requirements for the use of GNSS systems on the selected heliport. The resulting approach design can be used as one of the options for creating procedures. Such proposals could also be implemented on other operational bases, for the creation of a network of instrument approach or departure systems, which would create space for increasing the safety of helicopter emergency medical service in Slovakia.

Full textAbstract:
Early child development is related to early education, health, nutrition, and psychosocial development; therefore, the holistic concept of early approach combines elements from the area of stimulation of the child, health, nutrition, speech therapy, psychological counselling, physical development support, etc. The need for the development of integrated early education services and their extension to the area of 0-3 years are priorities of the European strategies assumed through a complex of educational policy measures, having as a priority the development of quality early education services for the benefit of all prerequisites for lowering the schooling rate (Strategy for early childhood education, Strategy for parental education, Strategy for reducing early school leaving in Romania, Study on the evaluation of public policies in the field of early childhood education - Saber Early Childhood). In this context of the development of early childhood education, numerous inequalities are identified in the implementation of European and national strategies and programs in the development of early childhood education services, supported by economic, political, social factors, etc. In order to make them compatible at European level, we consider it necessary to support training and development programs for staff providing educational services in early childhood education institutions. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge the opinion of the bodies with attributions in the pre-kindergarten and preschool education in Romania, as well as of the civil society and public opinion, as a prerequisite for identifying school policy measures and developing programs for training the teaching staff so as to be able to provide educational services in early childhood education (representatives responsible for early childhood education in school inspectorates and Houses of the Teaching Staff, teaching staff in preschool educational institutions, representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, representatives of the Social Assistance Directorate, managers of nursery schools, representatives of NGOs and other categories of organizations with experience in the field, parents and interested representatives of the civil society and public opinion). The present study is a qualitative research based on the focus-group method, but also a quantitative research by using the questionnaire-based survey, being carried out on a representative sample of 100 persons (2 focus-group of 25 persons, respectively 50 persons involved in the survey-based questionnaire). The conclusions of this study highlight the need to restructure the system of early childhood education in Romania through interventions at the legislative level and ensure a unitary system of policy and intervention in early childhood education. Also, we believe it is imperative to reorganize the training system of the human resource, by developing complementary competences of the teaching staff, adapted to the training needs of the early childhood population, ensuring a valuable inclusive and integrated intervention.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundThe sustainable retention of workers after a work-related injury poses particular challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Although studies on SMEs have multiplied over the past 30 years and some of them have led to the emergence of new concepts and theories in occupational health and safety (OHS), little is known about what can be done in SMEs to improve the OHS management of absences caused by work-related injuries. The objective of this presentation will be to overview strategical elements (resources, structures, activities) that could also benefit to the sustainable return-to work (SRTW).MethodA scoping review (Levac et al. 2010) on OHS management in SMEs was conducted in a reflective, iterative and collaborative manner. The methodological approach includes searching for relevant publications from the 2000 year in scientific (e.g., SCOPUS, ProQuest) and non-scientific (e.g., NHSE, NIOSH) databases, combining several key concepts related to OHS management and SRTW. Criteria for the selection of the studies were: 1) focus on OHS management, generally (review), or empirically (workplace intervention study); 2) focus on SMEs globally or in a specific context (size of enterprise, sectors of activities). Two reviewers using an iterative consensus-based approach performed article selection, extraction of data, and analyses.ResultsThree groups of strategic elements are beneficial for OHS management in SME: diffusion of information, support to implement integrative adapted systems of management and training programs, and especially designed for SME or intermediaries.Diffusion of information about legislation for SMEs, and guidelines for compliance with regulations, provide SME motivation and resources to intervene on the proper factors on SRTW. External support to OSH interventions, provided by control authorities, associations and networks of companies, and external consultants allow sharing knowledge and OSH-related resources, promoting best practices in SME. The availability of knowledge of effective OSH interventions could also help to replication or adaptation in particular contexts of SME, helping the achievement of proper conditions for SRTW. This kind of collaborative support to SME, combined with the continual engagement of employers and communication between management and employees and among employees, play an essential role in all phases of preventive or corrective interventions. Finally, training programs specially designed for SMEs foster interventions by increasing the awareness and the knowledge of the personnel, who are more motivated to intervene or correctly behave. DiscussionOverall, the strategies, resources, structures and activities in the SME, seem to be specific to the legislation in place and the different levels of actions. Even if generally they do not explicitly have an aim to promote sustainable retention of workers after a work-related injury, they present some opportunities to do so, modalities being different depending on the size of enterprise, and the level of risk of work activities in the sector. The results of this scoping review provide input for methodological and conceptual thinking for future policies or programs, as well as some information about integration of SRTW to OHS approaches and intervention modalities.

In the activities of suppression of counterfeit medical products, the interests and interventions of various branches of private and public law, intellectual property law, medical law of the public health protection and criminal law, overlap. Considering that actions of suppression of counterfeit medicines are often reduced to protection of commercial interests and court procedure of determining the right to compensation, and less to protection of public health interests and procedure of criminal intervention, the paper discusses the legitimacy of criminal law measures in suppression of counterfeiting of medical products. The aim of the paper is to point to the role and mechanisms of criminal law in the global system of suppression of medical products counterfeiting, bearing in mind that last year the Republic of Serbia signed the CoE Convention on the counterfeiting of medical products and similar crimes involving threats to public health (MediCrime Convention). After analyzing the scope and consequences of counterfeiting of medical products and problems in suppression of this phenomenon, it is concluded that the legitimacy of criminal law intervention justifies the evident "pandemic" expansion of the market of counterfeit medicines and the almost complete lack of incrimination of counterfeiting of medicines in national legislation. The paper presents the system of criminal law measures established by the Convention and analyzes the relationship of substandard, unregistered and generic medicines in relation to the category of counterfeit medicines defined by the Convention.

Full textAbstract:
Despite legislative advancements, domestic violence is still today a crime considered as "minor" by many, or often the actions that materialise it are not even recognised. The first steps in Portuguese legislation were taken by the Penal Code approved in 1982, which typified the crime of ill-treatment between spouses, and by the Law n. º 61/91 of 13th of August, which guaranteed “adequate protection to women victims of violence”. However, only in 2007, was the crime of Domestic Violence created, which shows, from 1982 until then, a long path of hesitations and slow social evolution concerning the consciousness of this crime’s seriousness. Until 2007, the crime of spousal abuse was integrated in a broader criminal arrangement, characterised by the abuse of persons. In 2009, with the typification of the crime of Domestic Violence and with the publication of the legal regime applicable to the prevention, protection, and assistance of victims, denominated as Law of Domestic Violence, a more consolidated phase was inaugurated, in both legal treatment and social intervention. Despite these evolutions, Portugal continues to witness an attitude of "social and collective consent" to some forms of Domestic Violence, oftentimes disguised in the acceptance and normalisation of gender inequalities. We have seen news stories where judgements are presented, within the scope of Domestic Violence cases, where discriminatory ideas against women and excuses for the crime of Domestic Violence are manifested. This is proof that some of the representatives of justice (the judges) do not accept what has already been legally approved in the Portuguese legal system. Similarly, recent studies on the population’s perception of domestic and gender-based violence show the abiding ideas and understandings of acceptance and normalisation of domestic and gender-based violence in Portuguese society. We intend to present the evolution of the typification of the crime of domestic violence in Portugal. Then, we intend to understand how this phenomenon has been perceived in Portuguese society. Therefore, we will be able to understand the continuities and ruptures between the legislative body and the social body in what concerns Domestic Violence and Violence against Women in Portugal.

Full textAbstract:
The Constitution is the basic law and from it all authorities derive their powers and the legitimacy of their actions, through which the form of the state, its government, its system of governance, the nature of authorities, their competencies, the relations between them, and their limits are determined, in addition to determining the rights of citizens: individuals and groups, and ensuring the performance of these rights for them. It is the right of any region or state in the federal state to have a constitution, and in the Kurdistan region it was possible to establish a constitution for the region since 1992 after the issuance of the federal statement by the Parliament of Kurdistan, which decided to define the right of the Kurds to disobey as a formula for peaceful coexistence in federalism, but this was not done, Since the issuance of the Iraqi Constitution of 2005 and its entry into force in 2006 and its recognition of the Kurdistan Region as a region within federal Iraq, the region should have drawn up its constitution based on the provisions of Article 120 of the Constitution. Undoubtedly, there are several internal and regional reasons and obstacles that stand in the way of the enactment of the constitution in the most valuable of them - There is no single supreme authority in the region, but there are two authorities, one in Erbil and the other in Sulaymaniyah, both of whom consider themselves equal to the other The regional impact represented by the interventions of the two neighboring countries, Iran and TurkeThe absence of the mentality of the statesmen, but the mentality of the men of power and the party, and looking at the constitution from a narrow hierarchical perspective. In order for the region to have a good constitution, these obstacles must be removedy

Full textAbstract:
The Creating Spaces project was a five-year, multi-country initiative aimed at reducing violence against women and girls and the prevalence of child, early and forced marriage in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines. This evaluation focuses on tackling social norm change in the Muslim Mindanao region of the Philippines, working closely with the organizations AMWA, UnyPhil, PBSP and PLCPD. It found that strategies were effectively combined at community level to begin to shift local behaviours, while local change processes were linked to higher-level advocacy for progressive legislative and policy change at national and regional levels. Creating Spaces has successfully started to move the dial, proving change is possible with concerted, strategic and sustained effort. This evaluation provides key recommendations to guide future interventions to build on these successes, and create the basis for future social transformation around violence against women and girls and child, early and forced marriage.

Full textAbstract:
During 2014–2015, a team of researchers conducted a series of primary and secondary studies on land record modernisation initiatives across Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar and Gujarat, which were published as part of a five-volume set on Land Records Modernisation in India. The second edition of these volumes incorporates new initiatives, technological updates and legislative amendments in each of these states, as well as the changes in the national level policy and programmes. Based on extensive on-ground research, this set of volumes presents a review of the land records management processes and the status of current efforts to modernise land records, against a larger historical background of land and revenue relations in each state. The volumes on the respective states are accompanied by an institutional, legal and policy review at the national level, which provides a summary of various crucial aspects of land records modernisation in India. It also appraises the impact of the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme, its gains and limitations, as well as possible steps forward. Combining detailed state-level analysis with a national review, this is a much needed intervention in the study of land records administration and modernisation in India. This set of volumes would be a vital resource for researchers and practitioners alike, as well as for policymakers at both the state and central level.
