Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the available literature relating to smoking cessation (SC) for the male prisoner population. Design/methodology/approach – Databases PubMed, CINAHL and MEDLINE were searched for English language studies from 1990 to 2012. The authors identified 12 papers examining SC in male prisoners. Full-text articles were analysed for inclusion. Findings – A total of 12 studies were identified for inclusion. Four studies focused on forced abstinence (a smoking ban) while the remainder looked at various combinations of nicotine replacement, pharmacology and behavioural techniques. No robust studies were found that examined nursing approaches to SC for the prisoner population. The evidence shows a strong “pro-smoking” culture in prison and that many prisoners continue to smoke irrespective of an enforced ban. However, SC strategies can be successful if implemented systematically and supported by consistent policies. Research limitations/implications – Female-only prisoner studies were excluded as females comprise just 7 per cent of the Australian prisoner population. The analysis does not differentiate between maximum- or minimum-security prisons, or length of prison sentence. Results cannot be generalised to other forms of detention such as police custody or immigration detention centres. Studies were not appraised for quality, as exclusion on that basis would render further exploration untenable. The analysis was presented in a narrative rather than meta-analytical format and may be subject to interpretation. Practical implications – This paper provides a foundation on which to build further research evidence into the smoking behaviour of prisoners. This information can be used to advocate for healthier public policy for a vulnerable and marginalised population. Originality/value – To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first literature review into SC interventions in prisons. The authors apply the findings of this literature review to the five strategies for health promotion to propose a population approach to smoking cessation in male prisoners. Recommendations specific to the correctional environment are outlined for consideration by correctional health professionals.

Abstract:
This article shows the current state of knowledge about: the economic situation and social interactions of families of prisoners. An in-depth analysis of own research, as well as those presented so far in Polish and foreign literature, has allowed to distinguish three types of social situations of families of prisoners, with particular emphasis on their economic situation and social interactions, namely; (1) the social situation of a family supporting the resocialization of the prisoner, (2) the social situation of a prisoner’s family, which is in opposition to the process of resocialization, (3) the social situation of a family focused on the reconstruction of its own social environment.

Abstract:
One form of guidance for inmates is training in the field of skills that will be very useful for the prisoner's life after leaving / being released from the correctional facility. Every prisoner has the right to receive a wage or premium for the work he has done. The formulation of the problem raised is how the arrangements regarding the provision of wages / premiums for inmates who work in prisons and whether the granting of rights in the form of wages / premiums for inmates who work in prisons has fulfilled the principle of justice. The research method used is normative juridical, namely research using primary legal materials in the form of laws and regulations, secondary legal materials in the form of literature related to the rights of prisoners in correctional institutions, especially those related to work wages. The result of this research is that the regulation regarding the rights of prisoners, especially those related to the provision of wages, is Article 14 of Law Number 12 of 1995, Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 32 of 1999 and Decree of the Minister of Justice of the Republic of Indonesia Number. M.01-PP.02.01 Year 1990. According to the author, the percentage of wages to inmates has met the principle of justice considering that in addition to getting wages, prisoners also get training regarding skills which later can be used as provisions when leaving the correctional institution for free.

Abstract:
The purpose of this writing is to know and understand the implementation of the constitutional rights of prisoners to vote in simultaneous regional elections whose regions do not yet have prisons. It is known that constitutional rights are rights owned by every citizen. These constitutional rights are not limited only because a citizen becomes a prisoner or a person who is serving a sentence for committing a criminal offense. The existence of prisoners detained in detention centers outside the electoral districts is often missed in the process of updating voter data conducted by the KPU, so that so far the voting rights possessed by these prisoners have never been used properly. Problems related to the constitutional rights of prisoners related to the right to vote in Pilkada occur in several regions in Indonesia, one of which is in North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province. This paper is then conducted by collecting and reviewing literature legal materials sourced from various sources of literature, with a Legislative Approach approach that results in invitations and Conceptual Approaches, then analyzed with descriptive analysis methods. The implementation of Regional Head Elections for prisoners in the North Lombok area cannot be carried out, because the KPU as the election organizer does not provide polling stations for prisoners in North Lombok which makes the constitutional rights of prisoners not implemented

Abstract:
The problem of prisons in Indonesia has not been resolved until now. There are 3 (three) main problems to date, namely, Overcrowded Prisoners, Lack of Human Resources in Prisons and Large Costs. This greatly affects the rights of prisoners themselves, where the rights of prisoners have been regulated both in International (Standard minimum Rules For The Treatment Of Prisoner) and National provisions (Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections). This research aims to answer legal problems regarding how the government has been managing prisons and private prisons as an alternative solution to the problems of prisons in Indonesia. To answer the research problem, this study uses a type of normative legal research with a legal approach, concepts and comparisons. The data used are secondary data supported by primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials obtained through literature research or document studies. The results of this study show that in managing prisons, legally Indonesia has made significant improvements and more implemented the human rights system by changing the orientation of retaliation to coaching prisoners. However, in its implementation, the Indonesian government still finds it difficult to implement these noble intentions and until now there are 3 (three) major problems that have not been addressed, namely Overcrowded Prisoners, Lack of Human Resources in Prisons and Large Costs. To be able to implement these noble intentions, there is an alternative solution, namely the implementation of private prisons with the Public Private Partnership system or Hybrid System where this system has been successfully applied in France and produces efficiency for the state

Abstract:
BackgroundMental disorder is more prevalent among people in prison than in the general population. Prisoners who require transfer to psychiatric hospitals for treatment face long delays. Doctors working in prisons regularly face ethical and legal dilemmas posed by prisoners with mental illness.AimsTo develop a policy for providing treatment under the common law to prisoners with mental disorders who lack treatment decision-making capacity while arrangements are made to transfer them to hospital.MethodThe policy was developed through literature review and consultation with the Faculty of Law at Southampton University and health care staff at Winchester prison in the UK.ResultsThe policy provides guidelines for establishing decision-making capacity standards for documentation, and guidelines for implementation based on the Mental Health Act Code of Practice, other best-practice guidelines and case law.ConclusionsIt can be argued that case law allows more-extensive treatment to be provided in the best interests of the incompetent prisoner, beyond emergency situations. The policy has ethical implications and its use should be carefully monitored.

Abstract:
AbstractA large body of social science consistently documents race differences in the U.S. criminal justice system and in related perceptions of justice. It is now beyond dispute that the criminal justice system is racialized in a plethora of ways that have consequences for how people perceive justice. Another vast body of literature documents the importance of perceptions of procedural justice in people’s satisfaction with dispute management and outcomes. Informed by these two well-established literatures, we draw on original quantitative and qualitative data, including a random sample of interviews with 120 men in three California prisons, to present an empirical analysis of prisoners’ experiences with the prisoner grievance system, their level of satisfaction with the process and outcomes of that system, and their perceptions of fairness. We find an absence of race effects regarding how fairly they say they have been treated in the past by the criminal justice system and in how they assess justice in the prisoner grievance system in particular. Specifically, we find that: 1) male prisoners’ perceptions of whether the overall criminal justice system has been fair to them in the past does not vary by race in statistically significant ways; and 2) the dominance of substantive grievance outcomes over procedural elements in prisoners’ satisfaction holds regardless of racial self-identification. We explain these findings by arguing that prison may perversely level the attitudinal gap among those who are subject to this profound experience of state power.

Abstract:
Prisoners represent a group containing the highest problem gambling (PG) rate found in any population. PG is of particular concern among Indigenous Australians. Little data exist concerning PG rates among Indigenous Australian prisoners. The present study aimed to address this gap in the literature by examining the lifetime prevalence of PG among male prisoners, whilst identifying prisoners of Aboriginal background. The EIGHT Gambling Screen (Early Intervention Gambling Health Test) was administered to 296 prisoners across three male prisons in South Australia. Previous help-seeking behaviour and forms of gambling were also examined. Sixty percent of prisoners indicated a lifetime prevalence of PG with 18% reporting they were incarcerated due to offending relating to their gambling problem. Indigenous Australian prisoners indicated a significantly higher prevalence of PG (75%) than non-Indigenous prisoners (57%) and reported less than half the rate of help-seeking. Given the high levels of PG and overall low rates of help-seeking among prisoners, prisons may provide an important opportunity to engage this high-risk population with effective treatment programs, in particular culturally appropriate targeted interventions for Australian Indigenous prisoners.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Detention can cause problems and stressors for prisoners, one of which is mental health problems. Female prisoners have a high rate of mental health needs in prisons. Awareness and the ability to recognize prisoners’ health problems are important. Therefore, the mental welfare of female prisoners is the responsibility of each prison. AIM: This review aimed to identify mental health problems among female prisoners. METHODS: The method used was a scoping review. A systematic searched of the literature between 2000 and August 2021 on several databases and search engines, namely, PubMed, CINAHL, SAGE Journals, and Google Scholar using keywords in English, namely, mental health, female prisoners, and prison. RESULTS: Of the 112 articles found, nine were eligible for inclusion. It was found that the mental health problems of female prisoners were anxiety, depression, substance abuse, stress, loss and grief, trauma, and suicide attempts that put them at risk of psychological distress. There was still limited study on female prisoners, especially to explore mental health problems in prison, and there were few studies discussing adjustment to female prisoners in prison, as well as mental health services which are still rarely carried out in prisons. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings, it is recommended for future research to focus more on how female prisoners can access mental health services in prisons to overcome their mental health problems, conduct a deeper exploration of the extent to which mental health services in prisons have been carried out so far.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the needs and motivations of incarcerated men who self-harm with no apparent suicidal intent. These have received little attention in research and policy, despite men accounting for a high and increasing proportion of self-harm in prisons. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 adult male prisoners with a recent history or thoughts of non-suicidal self-harm. The interviews were analysed drawing on principles of thematic analysis and discourse analysis. Findings Against a backdrop of early traumatic experiences and more recent adverse events (including prison-related ones), self-harm was described by many as a desperate – but meaningful – coping strategy; both a means of releasing tension, sadness and frustration, and of being heard in an unresponsive system. Originality/value These findings echo those of research conducted with women (including women prisoners) who self-harm, but challenge some of the more negative ways in which non-suicidal male prisoner self-harm has been portrayed in the (scant) previous literature. As well as pointing to the need for greater awareness of the complex needs of men in prisons, they underscore the importance of (also) exploring – and perhaps addressing – the issue of self-harm separately from suicide, and of striving to make prisons, as well as prisoners, “healthier” and better able to cope with pressure.

Abstract:
Victorian prisoners were increasingly out of sight due to the ending of public displays of punishment. Although punishment was hidden in the prison, prison life was a frequent subject for representation. In this dissertation, I examine the ways Victorian illustrated newspapers, paintings, and photographs mediated an encounter with prisoners during a time when the prison was closed to outsiders. Reports and images became a significant means by which many people learned about, and defined themselves in relation to, prisoners. Previous scholarship has focused on stereotypes of prisoners that defined them as the “criminal type,” but I argue prisoners were also depicted in more ambiguous ways that aligned them with “respectable” members of society. I focus on images that compare the worlds inside and outside the prison, which reveal instabilities in representations of “the prisoner” and the ways this figure was defined against a societal norm. Such images draw attention to the act of looking at prisoners and often challenge a notion of the prison as a space of one-sided surveillance.

Abstract:
Mental illness is far higher among prisoners than in general populations, especially for female prisoners. Previous research has discovered that traumatic experience plays a crucial role in the development of psychiatric disorder and other mental health issues in female prisoners. The present paper reviews eight articles, investigating into the negative outcomes associated with trauma-related mental health issues for female prisoners, and how their trauma-related mental health needs are addressed in prison. Systematic text condensation was used to discover similar themes and meanings throughout the articles. The results found a high prevalence of unrecognized and misdiagnosed trauma-related mental health issues across the articles, in particular post-traumatic stress disorder, with treatment having too much focus on substance abuse rather than addressing trauma directly. The review concludes that current prison screening measures and interventions do not identify trauma-related mental health issues adequately or address trauma directly. As a result, prison services do not meet the complex trauma needs of women. Further research needs to be conducted in this area for this population, as trauma-specific treatment is in its infancy.

Abstract:
Since the First World War ended in 1918 and anthologies began to emerge, limited attention has been paid to the poets of this era. While a few select male poets have achieved canonicity, women war poets of this era have fallen into enigmatic obscurity. The intention of this paper is to expound, explicate, and expose the difficulties relating to gaining entry into the canon of English literature, especially where the poets of The Great War are concerned. This paper discusses the absence of the most profound and foreshadowing poems written during the war through research of scholarly journals and out-of-print poems. The paper also seeks to prove that the defenses offered up which exclude certain poems in the anthologies have had repercussions extending into the twenty-first century. Beyond all human imagination, the excluded poetry of The Great War is languishing, wanting, and imploring for exploration and canonicity.

Abstract:
The prison novels (Haji Murat, Haji Abdullah and Süleyman Effendi) of Western Armenian writer Hagop Oshagan (1883-1948) articulate two unprecedented sociocultural critiques of Armenian experience. Like much of Oshagan's works, these novels, comprising the cycle Haryur Mék Tarvan [101 Years' Imprisonment] (1933), have scarcely been studied. The task of this study is to reveal the nature of Oshagan's critique, and to revise two chief Armenian literary critical trends: that of either de-contextualizing or instrumentalizing these novels' nationalist preoccupations; that is, either overlooking their contextual relevance as responses to contemporaneous nationalist dogmas, or distorting them to seem ideologically sympathetic. Oshagan's novels rather deploy the prison trope to foreground and question the aesthetic and ideological influence of late 19th century Armenian nationalist-revolutionary movements. They moreover undermine the persisting paradigm borne of nationalist-revolutionary rhetoric that collectively represents Armenians and Turks as victims and victimizers respectively. The present study reads Oshagan in the wider context of Armenian penological literature, and locates his engagement with nationalist-revolutionary ideology as an overtly critical, rather than sympathetic project. It provides an unprecedented appraisal of such political movements' primarily negative impact upon late 19th and early 20th century Western Armenian literature, a tradition that has presented 'Armenianness' through an almost exclusive narrative of subjection. This literary historical background allows Oshagan's singularity to appear. He is the first to recognize the prison trope as the preferred nationalist-revolutionary literary convention, a trope he then reconfigures in order to formulate an alternative, a literary mode of nationalism - namely, mystic nationalism - informed by his readings of Dostoevsky's novels. Oshagan imagines and articulates anew the Armenian-Turk relationship in terms that complicate, subvert and transcend the normative master/slave model instituted by nationalist-revolutionary rhetoric. In the process, he elaborates a conception of these movements as inadvertently complicit in the discursive - and, ultimately, also political - (self)-subjection of Armenians culminating as experiences of absolute subjection. After Oshagan, this study constitutes the first comprehensive analysis of literary renderings of both Armenian-Turk relations and nationalist-revolutionary ideology.

Resumo: Este trabalho é uma análise de obras autobiográficas de indivíduos que tiveram uma experiência traumática com a realidade, vivenciada nas instituições carcerárias do Brasil contemporâneo (1970-2000). Há nestas narrativas, enquanto exercícios de rememoração, uma grande riqueza que nos permite compreender a trajetória social de indivíduos que sofreram a experiência - única - do trauma. O encarceramento como o centro de suas vidas, o evento que no bem e no mal marcou toda a sua existência. Esse novo modo de fazer literatura - que pode ser chamado de literatura carcerária e/ou das prisões - emerge nos anos 1980, ganhando visibilidade principalmente no início dos anos 1990. Atualmente, vem tendo êxito no mercado editorial, despertando e dividindo o interesse da crítica cultural pelo tema. Portadoras de um teor testemunhal - como as obras de escritores que tratam da experiência judaica nos campos de concentração (Lagers) durante a 11 Guerra Mundial, e de escritores latino-americanos que narram a violência sofrida durante as ditaduras nos anos 1950/60/70 -, tais autobiografias são, antes de tudo, o testemunho do Sobrevivente da Era da Catástrofe, como pode ser resumido o breve século xx
Abstract: This work consists of an analysis of auto-biographical accounts written by individuais who have undergone traumatic experiences with reality in correctional facilities in contemporary Brazil (1970-2000). These accounts, as exercises in recollection, contain a great wealth of material and enable us to better understand the social history of individuais who have undergone a unique experience of trauma. The trauma, in this case, is the experience of imprisonment as the center of their lives, the event that, for better or for worse, marked their entire existence. This new mode of literary production - known as prison literature - arose in the 1980s and took on greater visibility in the early 1990s. It has been successful on the editorial market and aroused the interest of cultural critics of the topic. It has also been the object of some controversy. These autobiographies are similar to the writings of Jews who described their experiences in concentration camps (Lagers) during World War 11, and like a number of Latin-American writers who described the violence they were subjected to during the dictatorships of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Above ali else, the accounts are the testimony of Survivors of the Era of Catastrophe, as the brief 20th century might be called.

Abstract:
As instituições prisionais são tidas como um reservatório para doenças transmissíveis, entre estas a tuberculose. O estudo objetivou analisar na produção cientifica as estratégias para o controle da tuberculose no sistema prisional. Assim, elegeu-se a revisão integrativa da literatura a qual se deu com a busca de artigos científicos originais nas bases de dados PubMed, Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências de Saúde, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Alied Health Literature, Web of Science e Scopus, lançando mão de diferentes estratégias de buscas com a utilização de descritores controlados e não controlados, cuja seleção dos artigos foi pautada em critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Após as buscas nas bases de dados com a leitura de título e resumo das publicações, foi possível pré-selecionar para esta revisão 33 artigos científicos originais e, conseqüente à leitura na íntegra dos mesmos chegou-se à amostra final de 22 artigos, que compõem este estudo. Pela leitura dos artigos foi possível identificar 11 estratégias, todas direcionadas à detecção da doença, e agrupá-las em três categorias \"Busca Ativa como estratégia para o controle da tuberculose\", \"Busca Ativa como estratégia para identificação de tuberculose latente\" e \"Utilização de imagem para diagnóstico da tuberculose\". A partir dos estudos incluídos nesta revisão pode-se evidenciar que quando as estratégias são desenvolvidas como complementares e realizadas periodicamente proporciona maiores chances do controle efetivo da tuberculose no sistema prisional
Prison institutions are known as reservoirs for transmittable diseases, such as tuberculosis. The study aimed to analyze the strategies for the control of tuberculosis in the prison system, trough scientific work. Thus, integrative review was chosen, happening through the search of original scientific articles in the PubMed, Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências de Saúde, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Alied Health Literature, Web of Science and Scopus databases, including different search strategies using controlled and non-controlled descriptors, selecting articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. After the database search using titles and summaries, it was possible to pre-select 33 original scientific articles for this review and, consequent to full reading of those articles, come to a final of 22, which compose the study. Through the reading of such articles it was possible to identify 11 strategies, all aimed to the detection of the disease, and group them into three categories \"Active Case-finding as a strategy for control of tuberculosis\", \"Active Case-finding as a strategy for identifying latent tuberculosis\" and \"Use of image to diagnose tuberculosis\". Through the studies included in this review it\'s possible to make clear that when all strategies are developed as complementary and performed periodically they can provide higher chances of effective control of tuberculosis in the prison system

Abstract:
During the famine that befell China following the disaster of the Great Leap Forward, hunger was a major affliction for the individuals undergoing reform in the labor camps. Food – in terms of procurement, consumption, or just discursive recollection – was a central issue in the prisoners’ lives and, as a consequence, descriptions of meals and eating practices are a recurring presence in modern Chinese literary texts that revolve around carceral experiences. This contribution investigates three literary works that reconstruct personal experiences of imprisonment by way of eating: Wang Ruowang’s Hunger Trilogy (1980), Zhang Xianliang’s Mimosa (1984), and Yang Xianhui’s Chronicles of Jiabiangou (2003). In these texts, food becomes a privileged perspective through which look at how personal and collective memories are re-appropriated and re-elaborated, as well as to analyze how narratives of the past are consumed and produced.

Abstract:
During the most difficult first two years of the war, in the context of the Soviet leadership's unequivocal condemnation of captivity, addressing this topic was not encouraged by the party organs. Nevertheless, by circumventing unspoken prohibitions, literature contributed to the softening of state policy. K.M. Simonov, M.A. Sholokhov and I.G. Ehrenburg, three completely different writers, were united in their defence of the right to humanity and justice towards former prisoners of war, which indirectly contributed to a softening of the state's attitude towards them.

Abstract:
The aim of this work is to investigate learning motivation peculiarities of rural unemployed people that are unready for labor market. Research object – learning motivation. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, anonymous questionnaire survey, qualitative and statistic data analysis. Chi square criteria (χ2), significance level p < 0.05 are applied for comparison of results. 76 people unready for labor market in Šakiai region participate in this research: 32 of them are young people under 25 years of age, 18 – returnees from imprisonment, 26 – disabled persons; 36 men and 40 women. Majority of respondents have secondary education, however, only 11.1 % of all returnees from imprisonment are in this group. The researched of all the three groups give preference to the second – modern definition of career. Labor Exchange Office or their own decisions have impact on the respondents mostly. It is worth pointing out that Labor Exchange Office has stronger impact on the disabled (57.7 %) while the youth under 25 tend to decide themselves (53.1 %). Other factors do not have significant influence. The first four learning motives are the most significant to all the three groups of the researched, the least attractive motives are „I am studying for prestige“ and „Random circumstances determined intention to study“. It is unexpected that the motive „I intend to go to further education “is of little importance for the young people. People with disabilities and former prisoners have stronger motivation to learn than unemployed young people under 25 do. Hypothesis is only partly approved – the differences between the groups are not significant and statistically unreliable.

Abstract:
Abstract The respective object will have the proposal to develop a study about the importance of the Criminological Examination regarding the rehabilitation and integration of the individual in society, as an instrument that makes it possible to offer the convict the opportunity to receive treatment, education and work, to undergo a process of social recovery. The Exam is located in the Execution Law and in the Penal Code, in the legal device nº 7.210/84 and the enactment of Law nº 10.792/03, which revoked the obligation of the referred exam and became optional. The objective of the work is to reflect the value of such a procedure that arises to promote/guarantee the dignity, humanization and individual/collective rights of the prisoner. The methodological procedure will be based on the bibliographic review, through specialized literature of scientific articles, books and doctrines, in the search to support the study and offer content based on the most renowned authors, such as: Bitencourt (2004); Capez (2007); Fernandes (2002); Fernandes (2010); Marcao (2009); Mirabete (2002); Mirabet (2004). With the application of the Exam it would be possible to draw a study about the personality of the individual and to analyze the circumstances that led to the commission of the crime, as well as to grant prison benefits, conditional release and regime progression. It was concluded that, the advent of the new Penal Execution Law, discarded the obligation of the prisoner the due condition to be evaluated, which would serve as the basis for the decisions of judges and courts when applying the granting of prison privileges.

Abstract:
Modelling ethics is critical to understanding and analysing social phenomena. However, prior literature either incorporates ethics into agent strategies or uses it for evaluation of agent behaviour. This work proposes a framework that models both, ethical decision making as well as evaluation using virtue ethics and utilitarianism. In an iteration, agents can use either the classical Continuous Prisoner's Dilemma or a new type of interaction called moral interaction, where agents donate or steal from other agents. We introduce moral interactions to model ethical decision making. We also propose a novel agent type, called virtue agent, parametrised by the agent's level of ethics. Virtue agents' decisions are based on moral evaluations of past interactions. Our simulations show that unethical agents make short term gains but are less prosperous in the long run. We find that in societies with positivity bias, unethical agents have high incentive to become ethical. The opposite is true of societies with negativity bias. We also evaluate the ethicality of existing strategies and compare them with those of virtue agents.

Abstract:
The Caspian region having cross-boundary specifics is now a center of attraction for various countries and powers that are interested in hydrocarbon reserves of the region, its geopolitical location and political impact on the Caspian countries that include former Soviet states in order to achieve their own geopolitical goals. Under these circumstances, the Russian Federation needs to choose the dominant strategy of action in the region that will enable to activate the relations between Russia and the Caspian states in various spheres including cultural and humanitarian cooperation. A cultural diplomacy can and must become such a strategy in a New Great Game for the Caspian region. Its effective component includes support of the compatriots, offer of educational programs at Russian universities and other educational institutions, promotion of the Russian language and literature. In the future all this will allow to achieve better results in the spread of the Russian soft power in the countries of “the Caspian four”, provided that this geopolitical resource is conceptualized, and active, not discreet steps, are made. To define effective strategy for soft power implementation in the Caspian region the game theory and the so-called Prisoner’s dilemma can be used. The latter has long been used for assessment and forecast the effectiveness of the international cooperation.

Abstract:
The three UK Jisc digital student studies have explored the technology use and needs of learners in higher and further education and the skills sector. This paper focuses largely on the needs of learners in apprenticeships, adult and community learning and prisons. In these sectors the range of learners is very broad, with ages ranging from 16 to 90, with a multiplicity of reasons for learning and great diversity in the technology knowledge and experience that they bring to the table. The aim has been to investigate learners' expectations and experiences of the digital environment, in order to make recommendations on the services that could be provided to support learners' use of technology. There are three main strands to this research: a review of the relevant existing literature; primary research with learners through questionnaires and facilitated focus groups; and consultation events with learning providers and learners. The recommendations include: (1) Recognise the wide diversity of technology experiences and skills that even an apparently homogeneous group of learners may bring to their studies; (2) Engage learners in a dialogue about their digital experiences and empower them to make changes; (3) Provide a robust, flexible digital environment; (4) Meet learners' expectations with effective wifi, a robust VLE, up to date hardware and software and accessible printers; (5) Deliver a relevant digital curriculum; (6) Provide support and incentives for teachers to integrate digital resources into their teaching; (7) Engage with accreditation bodies to allow the use of technology in formative and summative assessment and other innovative approaches to teaching.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent questions surrounding the repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of those who traveled to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the reintegration of violent extremists in conflict zones including Somalia, Nigeria, Libya, and Mali, and the impending release of scores of homegrown violent extremists from prisons in the United States and Europe have heightened policymaker and practitioner interest in violent extremist disengagement and reintegration (VEDR). Although a number of programs to reintegrate violent extremists have emerged both within and outside of conflict zones, significant questions remain regarding their design, implementation, and effectiveness. To advance our understanding of VEDR, this report draws insights from a review of the literature on ex-combatant disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR). The literature on DDR typically adopts a “whole of society” approach, which helps us to understand how systemic factors may influence VEDR at the individual level and outcomes at the societal level. Despite the important differences that will be reviewed, the international community’s thirty-year experience with DDR—which includes working with violent extremists—offers important insights for our understanding of VEDR.

Boustati, Alma. The Advantages and Disadvantage of Double Taxation Agreements for Developing Countries. Institute of Development Studies, September 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.143.

Full text
Abstract:
When a developing and a developed country sign Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs), its generally the case that the developing country is the one that forgoes some of its tax revenues (Braun & Fuentes, 2016). Nevertheless, developing countries enter these agreements on the assumption that this will have enough economic benefits to offset these losses (Neumayer, 2007). Besides alleviating the burden of double taxation, DTAs also have the added value of improving exchange of information, which helps combat tax evasion and avoidance (Barthel et al., 2009). One of the incentives for signing DTAs for developing countries is the increase in Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) (Neumayer, 2007). The evidence from the literature on the link between signing DTAs and increasing FDIs is very mixed, with some finding a positive impact and others finding no impact (Quak & Timmis, 2018). However, the literature points to some clear factors that drive the relationship between FDIs and DTAs. There are also studies that attempt to quantify the tax revenue loss of developing countries when they enter DTAs. All the studies find substantial negative loss, although most do not account for the potential benefit of increased FDIs (ActionAid, 2016; IMF, 2014; Janský & Šedivý, 2018; McGauran, 2013; Van de Poel, 2016). There are also other reasons for why developing countries may still commit to negotiate and enter DTAs even when the benefits are not guaranteed. This includes increasing diplomatic ties with the treaty partner and the incentive of receiving foreign aid (Braun and Zagler, 2017). The other is a prisoner’s dilemma situation. The two most prevalent DTA conventions are the OECD Model and the UN Model. The UN Model tends to be more advantageous for developing countries compared to the OECD Model (Eyitayo-Oyesode, 2020). There are many issues over which the UN Committee’s expert members from developed and developing countries disagree but developed country member are better at influencing decisions. Finally, the OECD Model is updated more frequently, resulting in the UN one being comparatively out of date (Hearson, 2015; Quak & Timmis, 2018). Generally, the literature on the impact of DTAs on developing countries’ economies is extensive. This is especially the case for the impact of DTAs on FDIs as well as on tax revenue loss. However, because of the complexity of these issues, many of the empirical studies inevitably suffer from methodological issues that make conclusive claims very difficult. Notably missing from the literature is the impact of DTAs on international trade.
