- Summary/Abstract:Understanding the varying dimensions of violence against women and the impact of juridical and legal modes of reparation on their well-being is the main theme of the present paper. The primary objective of this paper is to study and analyse if the stereotypical legal remedies provided to Indian women have been able to yield the desired result of enhancing equality and harmony in society by mitigating violence against women or not. Are these conventional and typecast legal solutions enough to eliminate gender violence from Indian society? Is there any need to rephrase or overhaul Indian laws or remedies to satiate the need for peace and dignity to all women? Can there be some piecemeal or problem-based solutions to women issues, especially related to violence? Are available ready-made legal solutions capable of ensuring ‘justice’ to women to all kinds of their problems emanating from ‘violence’ inside and outside the house, when we all know that ‘violence’ affects and shatters anyone not only physically, but emotionally, psychologically and often, permanently. Laws and legal remedies evolve and shape with the passage of time, as a process, which can never be only juridical, but should be social and political also. ‘Gender violence’ is a transnational subject, and more importantly during present times of pandemic, stress and anxiety. There is an urgent need to create and innovate workable solutions with full active participation of women therein. A new zero violence society is the urgent need of the hour.

- Keywords:feminine; criminal; psychology; society; justice;
- Summary/Abstract:Criminality as a social and legal phenomenon tends to be generalized. Anti-social behavior has no legal gender differences and they are condemned in the same way, depending on the gravity of the offence. The social and psychological impact of the criminal activity, on the other hand, gives the differences and the severity of the individual and general repercussions inside the affected environment. Although feminine criminality has lower rates, it tends to cover a larger area of severe and brutal felonies with higher impact. In this paper, we intend to analyze gender-dependent characteristics, environmental factors, psychological and physiological elements of female anti-social behavior and a woman’s road to becoming an offender, most often, from the status of familial and social dysfunctional ambiance.

- Keywords:communication; Cyber terrorism; communication networks
- Summary/Abstract:The internet and similar network systems are ideal for the terrorist operations they offer unprecedented communication capabilities to terrorist organizations to get their message to the world. Cyber terrorism sets out to communicate in a virtual space with threats and violent cybernetic actions. Hacker communities use this mean of communication with threats to institute cybernetic blockades, to attack various information environments of strategic importance and DoS attacks. Usually, we don’t have to confound the internet (as a network) with cyberspace, which holds identities and objects that exist in networks by real individuals for different purposes. The use of communication networks by individuals offers cyberspace an emotional valence, which humanizes it. Terrorist organizations utilize the internet as a mean to communicate, mainly and have created sites on the world-wide-web to spread their ideological propaganda. The internet network, dominated by the principle of anonymity in communication is exploited to the max by the extremist terrorist organizations, which leads to feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and panic. The instruments of communication used by the terrorist organizations have evolved rapidly from the publications Voice of Jihad, Voice of Caliphate, Echo of the bloody battle and Echo of Jihad, from the television stations Al-Agsa, Hamas, Al Manar, Hezbollah and Djihad Kamal, to a communicational activity on sites and forums that they exploit intensely.

- Keywords:digital skills; digital competence; employment initiatives; equality policies;
- Summary/Abstract:Inequalities between men and women exist not only in economy and society but also in education all over the world. Many initiatives are launched to empower women with advanced skills in many countries. This paper describes the policies and initiatives to foster gender equality in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-related education and employment in Greece. National and European Union (EU) statistics show that there exists a wide gender gap in ICT-related higher education participation, employment, and salaries in Greece. Various policies and initiatives aim at empowering women with digital skills. The paper suggests a framework to fight gender discrimination in ICT across four (4) dimensions (ICT education & training, digital tools & infrastructure, people networking, ICT jobs) and three (3) axes (access, use & participate, create). The resulting framework consists of twelve (12) areas. The paper gives example strategies for some of the areas. Finally, the paper present conclusions and suggestions for future research.

- Keywords:Digital Media; Awareness; Coronavirus
- Summary/Abstract:This paper aims to monitor the role of digital media in facing the COVID-19 pandemic, as the media play a prominent and essential role in building images of reality among the public through the information they provide, and from here comes the role of the media in general and digital media in particular in contributing. In creating awareness among the masses of how to deal with this crisis, the media play a fundamental role during disasters and crises, as they work to deliver the necessary information to the public and the general public, as well as interpret events, provide moral support to affected communities, and contribute to digital coverage that is characterized by speed and keeping pace with events. Disasters and crises play a very important role in determining and shaping trends towards what is happening. The results indicate that some Arab countries have taken advantage of the effective role of digital media in facing the crisis and raising awareness about it, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia scored first in facing this crisis by launching many applications that served citizens very much during the crisis and by launching many digital means on websites and their issuance through mobile applications, which facilitates the process of communicating with citizens, educating them and protecting their health, which had a great impact on controlling the crisis.

- Page Range:32-36
- No. of Pages:5
- Keywords:smuggling; assimilated smuggling; skilled smuggling; jurisprudence;
- Summary/Abstract:In Romanian doctrine, the crime of smuggling has been defined in various ways, but it has been concluded that this is the circumvention of customs duties by avoiding customs checkpoints. By committing a crime of smuggling, the perpetrator seeks to avoid the payment of excise duties, VAT, the payment of other taxes or duties, as well as the avoidance of rules prohibiting the sale of certain goods or merchandise. The aim of the paper is to bring to the attention of the general public both theorists and legal practitioners, the content of the criminalization norm regarding the crime of smuggling, the object of the crime, the subjects of the crime, its place, objective side, subjective side, but also forms of crime. This paper is also intended to address some procedural issues regarding the prosecution, investigation and sanctioning of those who commit such crimes.
Improving Environmental Protection Legislation from the Perspective of Identifying Pestilential Odors

- Page Range:37-42
- No. of Pages:6
- Keywords:law; pestilential odors, air; mechanism;
- Summary/Abstract:The study follows the analysis of European legislation and national legislation in Romania on the olfactory discomfort noticed in the open air, starting from the situation of City of Brasov from Transylvania, where residents often noticed in 2019, the existence of pestilential odors in certain areas of the city, which led to numerous complaints to public authorities. This particular case requires the identification of mechanisms by which substances with an olfactory impact can be identified and subsequently correlated with ambient air quality, in order to determine whether it represents a real danger to the health of exposed inhabitants. These mechanisms can be applied more or less by different competent authorities in the field, but the applicable legal framework must be sufficiently elaborated to allow concrete results to be obtained. Therefore, beyond a potential subjectivism related to the sensitivity to odors and implicitly to the regulation of their monitoring and the establishment of measures in order to prevent and reduce the olfactory discomfort, certain aspects (identification of the source of smell, establishment of measurement/determination methods, technical possibilities monitoring and measurement of odors) requires a thorough analysis of the situation created, the article notes certain shortcomings in the legal framework governing this area and brings proposals to improve it.

- Keywords:Abstract art; Kandinsky; Avant-garde; Contemporary art;
- Summary/Abstract:With all forms of art being continually subjective in the process by which they are perceived and appreciated, abstract art has been no exception, facing both elicited support and criticism over the years. The greatest debate on abstract art was experienced over a century ago when the art first emerged, that is in its initial stages of development. A century ago, abstract art signified a new perception of art that was conceived and accepted only by a few people. However, the art later transformed to be accepted by many as one of the purest and most beautiful forms of art, a change that was brought about through the works and ideas presented by Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky had, through his artistic vision and modes of expression, led to a critical revolution in the way abstract art was visualized and conceived. Therefore, he had not only helped lay the robust foundation that governed many of the concepts in abstract art, in contemporary and modern times, but he had also helped revolutionize its framework enriching it with the elements it still carries to the modern day.

- Keywords:pandemic; criminal law; psychology; criminal act;
- Summary/Abstract:In order to commit a crime, the perpetrator goes through numerous psychological states that are decisive and determined by the social, economic, cultural, cognitive and historical factors of the environment of origin and of the one in which he is to carry out the criminal action. Whether it refers to elements such as the physical, moral or intrinsic nature of the action taken, its analysis must take into account the elements that led the person to adopt such conduct. During the pandemic period, due to the imposition of social distance, the criminal phenomenon experienced a decrease in the diversity of crimes and also a significant increase in the intensity with which illicit actions are committed in certain areas that do not require direct contact between perpetrator and victim. The article aims to analyze some such illegal actions from the perspective of the constituent elements of a criminal law offense, the manner and factors that determined their commission and the relationships created between the active and passive subject during the pandemic period in Romania. Some conclusions, at the end of the paper, will aim at synthesizing all the information presented during it, analyzing the contribution of the state of emergency to reducing crime for certain facts and increasing it for others.

- Summary/Abstract:Shantaram is a book about a man who breaks out of a gaol in Australia and ends up in Bambay (now Mumbai). Eventually, he becomes engaged with Mumbai underworld. He falls in love with Karla, a beautiful and mysterious woman. The novel uses lots of Marathi and Hindi words that add up to the local essence of the novel. The novel is set up in Bambay in the 80s. It becomes all the more interesting as the narrator gets involved into a gun-running mission in Afghanistan and gives a vivid picture of the whole trade. Significantly, the novel has Bombay as a very important character; rather Bombay becomes an integral part of the novel. It has beautifully projected India and her people seen through the eyes of an Australian. Hence, this paper will try to bring out what are the facts that have gained more attention from the narrator and which aspects have been ignored. And while doing so, this paper would further try to analyze the factors behind such inclusions and exclusions and the politics, if any, involved in it.

- Keywords:Internationally Wrongful Acts; COVID-19 Pandemic; State Responsibility; Cessation;
- Summary/Abstract:It is one of the basic principles of international law that the state that makes an act contrary to international law must compensate for the damage arising from this act. Accordingly, when an international commitment has been breached, it is a principle of international law to adequately remedy it; therefore, reparation is a mandatory complement condition in the execution of a contract, without it being written in this contract. The core legal consequences for the responsible state on the commission of an internationally wrongful act are twofold: to cease the wrongful conduct and to make full reparation for the injury caused by the internationally wrongful act. Injury includes any material or moral damage, emerged as a result of an internationally wrongful act of a state. “The general principle that the legal consequences of an internationally wrongful act do not affect the continued duty of the State to perform the obligation it has breached. As a result of the internationally wrongful act, a new set of legal relations is established between the responsible State and the State or States to whom the international obligation is owed. But this does not mean that the pre-existing legal relation established by the primary obligation disappears.” “In particular, all states in such cases have obligations to cooperate to bring the breach to an end, not to recognize as lawful the situation created by the breach, and not to render aid or assistance to the responsible state in maintaining the situation so created.” This study focuses on the actual situation that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic process by examining the issue of international tort and its consequences.

- Summary/Abstract:The crimes under the name of “False Offenses” constitute a well-defined and highly varied category in the vast sphere of facts considered to be dangerous. Any social relationship concerns and is based on a certain reality that the subjects of the relationship have in mind and whose existence therefore implies a mutual good faith and trust on the part of these subjects. Without the duty of respect for the truth and without the feeling of trust that the truth is actually respected, social relations would be possible only with difficult precautions and inevitable risks. Therefore, the criminal law considered that it is necessary that, in order to protect social relations, to ensure the normal formation and development of these relations, to be incriminated the deeds by committing which, altering the truth, creates a serious danger or harm certain social relations. These categories of facts can be determined either on the basis of the special way in which the truth is altered or on the specifics of the social relations reached by the act of altering the truth, or due to the nature of the trust that is given to the truth. These differences obviously appear in the sphere of crimes that involve an alteration of truth. In the group of false crimes, the alteration of the truth is made on some entities (things) which are legally attributed the property of serving as evidence of the truth they express or attest on the occasion of various social relations (coins, stamps, credit titles, seals, marking tools, documents, etc.), and trust is objectively given to the thing which in itself constitutes the proof of the truth.

- Keywords:Affect; Collective moods; Communication; Consumption;Coronavirus;
- Summary/Abstract:Based on the COVID-19 economic fallout, the article outlines that the finance world has different temporal perceptions than the actual chronological time measurement in contrast to the real economy. In the real economy, concrete constraints create a more emotional and destructive reaction to the general information about COVID-19. Social online media plays a role in loading these two groups with different affects. Comparing the economic consequence of the endogenous crunch of the 2008 World Financial Recession with the external economic shock of the COVID-19 pandemic aids to retrieve crisis-specific recovery recommendations in the overall discussion. Understanding how the social compound forms economic outcomes promises to explain how market outcomes are developed in society and can be shaped by strategic communication with special attention to new media technologies.

- Summary/Abstract:The agreement for the admission of guilt can be defined as an understanding which may be completed and concluded in the phase of penal investigation, during an ongoing penal procedure, between the prosecutor and the defendant under investigation, by which the latter agrees to recognize the entire content of evidential material as proof she is guilty of a certain accusation brought against her, in exchange for obtaining certain concessions or milder treatment by the prosecution. This means, among other things, that the defendant shall plead guilty to a lesser accusation or to one or more of the accusations brought against her, in exchange for the prosecution waiving the penal consequences of the commission of other infractions, or admitting guilt to an infraction in exchange for a less severe penalty.

- Keywords:Affect; Collective moods; Communication; Consumption;
- Summary/Abstract:Overall the following article innovatively paints a novel picture of the mass psychological underpinnings of business cycles based on information flows in order to recommend how certain communication strategies could counterweight and alleviate the building of disastrous financial market mass movements. Acknowledging that human beings are connected to and interact with each other in families, ties and larger networks of states, nations and intergovernmental institutions, studying the role of information in building socially-constructed economic correlates promises to explain how market outcomes are developed in the social compound and can be guided by media communication. Addressing problems of the neoclassical assumption of perfect information markets through the lens of ‘real competition,’ the following paper will specifically unravel how contemporary media communication produces certain types of price expectations that form consumption patterns leading to collectively-shared economic outcomes. An introduction to the history of economic cycles will lead to the analysis of the role of information in creating economic booms and busts in the age of globalization. Applying emergent risk theory onto economic fluctuations will serve as an innovative way to explain how and what information represented in the media creates economic ups and downs. Linguistic roots of news about the economy are aimed at shedding light on how media representations and temporal foci echo in economic correlates and shape market outcomes. As business cycles are a collective phenomenon, group interactions’ potential contribution to create business cycles will innovatively be outlined and the role of information flows among groups in creating price expectations unraveled. Business cycles will also be shown to obey some kind of natural complexity, as for being whimsically influenced by socio-historic and political trends. Recommendations how to create more stable economic systems by avoiding emergent risks and communicating market prospects more cautiously will be given in the discussion followed by a prospective future research outlook and conclusion.

- Summary/Abstract:In education, schools, homes, families, institutions throughout the country and the world, the individual must be neat, punctual, orderly, hardworking, and disciplined. In my work, I analyze the impact of clutter during creation. Throughout history, we have been convinced that chance often defines the entire future of humanity, and great discoveries have not always been associated with the amount of work and dedication invested. Children are prone to clutter, waste, and unrestrained play. Rules do not burden children, and their world is open to all. Children do not know what is possible and what is not and do not understand our stereotypes and regulations. Without rules and laws, society cannot function, but progress and progress into the future always take place when someone deviates from the pattern. All institutions strive for obedience and typification of ways of thinking, which often suffocates the inventive mind. A man who is not trapped by stereotypes finds inspiration and freedom of mind and creation in disorder. In a mess, anything is possible, as in the imagination. Before any discovery in any area of creativity, a “eureka” and a “click” must occur. Materializations thrive after idea and vision. The way to reach these solutions is often inexplicable and unexpected. It requires courage and departure from the rules and boundaries of time and society. People who run the world have the burden of fighting stereotypes. They are often unsupported, misunderstood, ridiculed, and marginalized. Their genius, their freedom is revealed either after death or by a combination of circumstances.

Starting with the way Barth sees the forms of the Word of God and their indissoluble unity and continuing with way Barth sees the nature of the Word of God, the analysis will show the features of Barth’s thought about the Word of God as a witness to the revelation of God, as constitutive for the life of the Church and as paramount for the proclamation of the Church. Moreover, the analysis will reveal the way in which argues the fact that the Word of God is the medium in which the knowledge of God, is possible to the believer as an individual and for the Christian community as well.

Buddhists would say that the moment of birth is already the beginning of a dying process. Dramatically, living is akin to dying slowly every moment. Death is a big subject in Buddhism. In Vajrayana, a Tantrayana form of Buddhism in Tibet and surrounding Himalayan regions, it is covered in great depth in The Tibetan Book of the Dead. The essence of the esoteric teachings is not only about dying consciously but more about living consciously.

- Summary/Abstract:De Martino’s work and his way of thinking gather together the innovative force of a scholar who has managed, without any doubt, to bring about a revolution in the ways of ethnological and anthropological research. Initially disputed, De Martino was later rediscovered due to some favorable trends of cultural interest. He is, therefore, responsible for creating a complex mechanism of thorough study, analysis, understanding and valorification of the traditional social frameworks which are, after all, the origins of European culture. In fact, the capacity of traditional societies to stand up to the ordinary, to confront the present and the ways they have secured their constant presence throughout generations isn’t only through the systematic and sometimes agonizing effort of subsisting, but also due to the existance of those cultural frameworks which represent the means of survival when it comes to mentalities, social rapports and psychological representations. In De Martino’s understanding of the myth, which he designates as the symbolic substance of cultural rite and an instrument used for transcending the limit: „namely, a critical moment for the existence on which weighs the extreme risk of the collapse of the ethos of transcendence and, therefore, that of presence”, and will „also reveal the horizon that recovers this risk, a conversion of the annihilation of presence and its reintegration into simply being”, such we may understand how is actually presents a double transcendence where the rite alters the cultural norm, expressing a „history of origins” related to the moment of crisis.

- Summary/Abstract:The currently ongoing novel Coronavirus-crisis is an external shock coming down on society with direct impact on societal moods and subsequently connected economic changes. With growing digitalization and quickening of transfer speed, information exchange in the individual involvement to break trends online on a global scale may impose unknown systemic risks in causing social volatility in international economics. Research may explore how human beings’ communication and interaction results in socially constructed volatility that echoes in economic correlates. This paper theoretically covers the history of heterodox economic cycles in order to then propose to explore the role of communication and temporal foci in pandemic communication to create social volatility underlying economic downturns.
