Abstract: The article offers the results of research into the problem of ensuring human rights in connection with the application of acts recognized by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine as unconstitutional. The analysis of statistical data on the results of the consideration by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine of constitutional submissions regarding the compliance with the Constitution of Ukraine (constitutionality) of normative legal acts and constitutional complaints of citizens regarding the verification of the conformity of the Constitution of Ukraine of the laws of Ukraine, which were applied in the final court decision, was carried out in the case of the subject of the right to a constitutional complaint. It was concluded that only under the condition of a comprehensive approach to the provision of human rights during the exercise of powers by the state and its officials in law-making and law-enforcement activities, one can hope to solve the problems of ensuring human rights and prevent the application of unconstitutional acts to a person. Based on the statistical data provided by the Secretariat of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, the authors analyzed the state of regulatory and legal support for a person's exercise of the right to just satisfaction in connection with causing him material or moral damage by acts and actions recognized as unconstitutional. It was concluded that due to the lack of reliable safeguards against the adoption of acts that do not correspond to the Constitution of Ukraine by subjects of authority, currently in Ukraine the mechanism for ensuring human rights does not work properly in connection with the application of acts recognized as unconstitutional to it. Moreover, decisions on recognition of an act applied to a person as unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine take too long. The prescriptions of the third part of Article 152 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which obliges the state to compensate (accordingly with the procedure established by law) material or moral damage caused to people or legal entities by acts and recognized as unconstitutional, are completely declarative in nature, since within 28 years after the adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine, such a document has not been adopted or implemented. The authors conclude that the creation of accountability mechanisms of public authorities is impossible without establishing at the legislative level legal (not fancy political) responsibility for the adoption of unconstitutional acts.

Abstract: Kodim 0831/East Surabaya organized territorial management to prepare defence areas on land to support the main tasks of Korem/Kodam through Binter method including Social Communication (Komsos). In its implementation Kodim 0831/East Surabaya was guided by Kasad's policy on social communication as stated in Kasad Regulation 37-02/XII/2012. However, the implementation is still considered not optimal. This can be seen from the still occurrence of terrorist suicide bombings in East Surabaya. In addition, some problems that can be identified include factors of resources, disposition and bureaucratic structure. With qualitative research methods with descriptive objectives and data collection techniques with interview techniques, this study describes and analyses how social communications are implemented by the Kodim 0831/East Surabaya officers in early detection and prevention of radicalism in the East Surabaya area. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of social communication policy in the East Surabaya region in terms of communication factors has been running optimally but there are still some obstacles to the factors of resources, disposition or attitude of executors and bureaucratic structures. Therefore, it is necessary to try to overcome these obstacles so that the implementation of Kasad Regulation 37-02 / XII / 2012 in detection and prevent early action of radicalism can run more optimally. This is important so that social communication implementation can make a maximum contribution in the effort to overcome, maintain and prevent from possible forms of non-military threats that can endanger the sovereignty, territorial integrity and national safety.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the portrayal of work-life balance in the movie The Intern, focusing on the character of Ben Whittaker, played by the iconic Robert De Niro, who takes on the role of a senior intern at a bourgeoning fashion e-commerce company under the leadership of the young, dynamic, and driven chief executive officer (CEO), Jules Ostin, portrayed by the brilliant Anne Hathaway. Two research questions were posed (How is the work/life of Jules Ostin portrayed in The Intern?; How does this portrayal shape conceptualizations of work and life in important ways?”) to understand how this cultural artifact adds to the literature on work-life balance. The analysis reveals that while some representations reinforce the ideal worker norms, others challenge them and suggest that work and life can coexist in balance. However, the role reversal mentoring and power dynamics in the film raise concerns about whether it subtly perpetuates traditional organizational structures and stereotypes. Two themes emerged from the analysis: Normalized Work and Ideal Worker Norms, and Reverse Power Dynamics concerning Gender and Age. The first theme shows how Ben and Jules navigate ideal worker norms. The second theme examines the reversal of power dynamics by age and gender. The film depicts a young woman as CEO and an older man as her intern, normalizing work and reinforcing ideal worker norms. Additionally, Ben’s dressing style visually reinforces societal expectations of an ideal worker, normalizing the work concept.

Abstract: European Union (EU) and the G7 Nations imposed sanctions on Russia in December 2022 and introduced a price cap and an embargo on the imports of the Russian Crude Oil. This was with aim to restrict war funding of Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. Since then a significant realignment in global energy trade and shift in Russian oil market has emerged. India has limited energy resources but with growing economy and social responsibility has very high energy demand. It cannot afford higher price of petroleum products. In case, the Russian Oil was out of market, the petroleum product cost would have gone beyond affordable means of the country. Accordingly India has made use of this opportunity and has increased its crude refining capacity to meet its own energy demand and to become EUs largest supplier of refined fuels, mainly sourced from discounted Russian Crude. In bargain India has earned much valued foreign exchange, and earned profits on imports of oil, which was unheard prior to COVID-19 period. The increase of refining capacity is in confirmation with India’s ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ initiative. Indian’s crude refining infrastructure can cater for refining capacity of more than 257 MMPTA through its PSU refinery, joint venture refineries and Private Sector Refineries. This paper examines the strategic, economic and geopolitical dynamics for this trend, highlights the role of India’s Refining capability enhancements, the problems related to regulatory loopholes in EU Sanctions and the broader aspect of Energy security for India. It also gives future prospects and recommendations for Indian Government and associated private players in the industry.

Abstract: In a global world characterized by a polarized and pluralized political landscape, the critical intersection of faith and politics presents not just a challenge but opportunities for the Christian scholar. This study answers the question, how can Christian scholarship, founded on justice, integrity and compassion, influence the Nigerian politics? The problem this paper explores is the increasing absence of moral clarity and ethical leadership. Against this backdrop, the article examines the potential of Christian scholarship to transform political discourse through the influencing power of a faith-based ethics and history. The study proposes a framework for political engagement in Nigeria through the ever-transforming biblical principles and historical events. Through a qualitative methodology, the paper examines biblical texts and historical events, provides a searchlight that would influence and impact the political terrain, and drives the cause for compassion, integrity, and justice as a model to current political discourse. The paper thus elucidates unique insights that will help towards navigating complex political terrain, emphasizing the ingredients of advocacy, discernment, and wisdom. By constructing a nuanced framework for a faith-based political engagement, this article positions Christian scholars as reformers, bridge-builders and leaders that can influence, engage and transform the political terrain without compromising their faith. Ultimately, the article advocates faith-based political approach which can promote compassionate and just systems, bridge the divides among a people group, and cause reforms for the common good.
