Aspects Relating to the Family Status in the Roman Law

Author(s): Ligia-Roxana Rotaru / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: status; family; marriage; Roman law

The status of the family has evolved over time until it formed what we call today the basic cell of society. It is interesting to observe how in the old Roman law, for the valid start of a marriage it was required the consent of the head of family also known as pater familias and not of the future bride and groom. They had no rights of their own, the father even having the right of life and death at first. As Rome moves towards the Imperial Age, marriage also begins to take on another form and becomes from marriage cum manu (under the power of pater familias) to sine manu (where only the consent of future bride and groom was needed).

D&O Insurance and Arbitration

Author(s): Katica Tomić / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: D&O liability insurance; EU Law; arbitration provisions;

Directors and officers ("D&O") are required to act in a good faith and in the best interests of the corporation and to ensure that, the corporation is managed in accordance with the corporation's articles of incorporation and internal by-laws. D&O are personally liable for actions committed by the corporation within their scope of authority, and their own personal assets are at the risk in the event of a lawsuit against the corporation and its management or corporate insolvency. Today's complex business, legal and regulatory environment have increased the number of disputes involving the personal liability of D&O and D&O insurance, and the option of the more efficient, flexible, expert, and enforceable dispute resolution mechanisms, becomes the substantial interest of the parties involved. In this article, we discuss the general principles of D&O liability and D&O insurance, and relevant court cases concerning D&O liability and insurance coverage disputes in EU Law. Having in mind basic characteristics of modern insurance regulations, in particular, the need to protect a policyholders' interests and insurance customers and the premise that classic (commercial) arbitration is not a priori suitable for D&O insurance disputes, the author advocates introduction of specific integrated arbitration proceedings for D&O insurance cases. By assessing arbitration proceedings in D&O insurance, this analyze allows us to draw conclusion on whether the resolution of D&O insurance disputes by means of arbitration should be considered more often, or court litigation is more suitable for D&O insurance cases.

Criminal Aspects of Voluntary Slavery and Delinquent Unconscious

Author(s): Gabriel Tănăsescu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: code matrix; delinquent unconscious; libido, pulse of destruction; semiotics of violence;

From a philosophical point of view within a free system, an individual has the possibility, and thus is allowed by his own autonomy of will, to sell himself as a slave without being sanctioned by the rules of society, or by bearing the consequences of these rules (in his book Anarchy, State and Utopia, in one of the chapters A Framework for Utopia Robert Nozick deals with the problem of voluntary slavery). From a psychocriminological point of view, voluntary slavery is closely linked to the unconscious delinquency and the pulsation of destruction. Entry into Street Gangs can only be accomplished by respecting the rituals and the Code Matrix. A member of Banda (a woman or a man) accepts to lose her social freedom in order to enjoy the respect, reputation and esteem of the veterans. The exit of a street gang member is not accepted by the essence of the behavioral code, the sanction being death.

Gender Equity as a means of Promoting National Development: A Sociological Reflection

Author(s): Titilade Muyibat Ajayi / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Gender equity; Sex segregation; National development;

The development of a nation entails the contributions of both men and women. However, all over the world, there are imbalances of power between men and women thus placing some obnoxious socio-cultural and political factors encouraging men's superiority over women. For example, job opportunities, recruitment strategies and political conditions have so much stereotyped the nature of women jobs and participation in nation building. This paper, therefore, looks at the sociological analysis of issues concerning women in wages, employment and politics as it is being affected by sex differential since women have been so adversely affected. The paper highlights the undesirable factors culminating to sex segregation and the aftermath effects. It also sets out to justify the need to give equal opportunity to both men and women in order to promote national development. The paper concludes that national development is a multidimensional process which can be accelerated by making efforts to bridge the socio-cultural and political gaps between the males and females in a healthy society.

Hope and Violence in Dystopia

Author(s): Lima Bhuiyan / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Dystopia; President Trump; The Hunger Games; protest;

The fact that America has been plunged into a period of dystopia cannot be argued. The nation not only meets the dictionary definition of dystopia itself, but we are daily watching an Orwellian present, which includes censorship, “alternative facts,” blows to education, muzzling of scientists and constant incitement of fear. Typically, dystopian fiction offers an escape that is so farfetched; it is not a real threat to daily life. In these stories humanity always steps up to help one another and anyone can make a difference; this is what makes these stories both hopeful, and relatable. But how does this translate into real life? In the days since the election of President Trump, we have seen this hope spill into the streets in the form of resistance. This paper will argue that while we might live in a dystopian present, there is a newfound surge of hope we have seldom seen in this nation that comes in the form of protest and violence. With each march, hashtag and moment of defiance, an ally speaks for the downtrodden and as history has proved, sometimes violence is the direly needed catalyst for change. Even in the face of dystopia, like reflecting the novels we have all come to know, the average person can and in certain cases, has a duty to fight for a hopeful future.

Conditional Liberation - One of the Measures to Achieve the Purpose of Criminal Punishment

Author(s): Nicoleta-Elena Heghes,Victoria Cristiean / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: conditional liberation; convicts; measures; punishment; recidivists;

The offense as a fact forbidden by the rules of criminal law cannot exist without the unavoidable consequence of criminal liability, which, in its turn, would be without object without a criminal sanction, without a punishment. Neither punishment can be conceived without the existence of criminal liability and it is based only on the offense. Conditional liberation constitutes a measure of both criminal and social policy that is particularly important for achieving the purpose of punishment. Conditional liberation is conceived as an incentive for convicts who give evidence of correction by reducing the period of deprivation of liberty, being designed to accelerate the process of re-education and social reinsertion of the convict.

Civil-Military Coordination in Peacebuilding: The Obstacle in Somalia

Author(s): Chukwuma Obinwa / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Peace-building; Peace operation; Coordination; Obstacle; Somalia;

The complex nature of peacebuilding as an instrument of conflict resolution has increasingly collided the military and the civilian actors to share the same field of operation, thereby undermining the independence, impartiality and neutrality of either the military or the civilian actors. Despite the fact the military has often accentuated the need for “correspondence”, the civilian actors have conveyed concern regarding the effect of civil-military coordination on the capacity to remain independent, neutral and impartial in undertaking their main functions. This paper examines the cultural, organizational, operational and normative factors that condition the approaches of the civilian actors such as nongovernmental organizations and the military actors toward the civil-military coordination. This paper also discusses the obstacles to the (CIMIC) and offers more effective recommendations for enhancing the civil-military coordination (CIMIC) in order to achieve the economic, political and security order sought in the Somalia peacebuilding process.

Emilio Uranga and the Communal Role of Melancholy in Postcolonial Korean Culture

Author(s): Carmen Huxley / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: communal melancholy; Emilio Uranga;

ABSTRACT: Melancholy has long been considered a negative state of being. However, negative interpretations fail to appreciate its positive potential. Melancholy and its effect can potentially benefit, not just an individual but a community. Changing attitudes towards the idea of melancholy in American culture may happen if the strategy of defining it is adapted. This paper focuses on how Emilio Uranga defines melancholy and how his philosophy can benefit a better understanding of melancholy in a communal dimension. The role of communal melancholy in Korean culture after colonialization exemplifies the way in which melancholy presupposes and manifests freedom and is a condition of authenticity.

Taste Preference Differences in Juvenile Delinquency

Author(s): Ligiana Mihaela Petre,Alina Atalay / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: delinquency; taste preferences; food choice; health behavior;

Smart food policy models for improving dietary intake recommend tailoring intervention to people's food preference. Food choice plays a major role in the psychological, economic, and social aspects of life by expressing preferences, identities, and cultural meaning. Poor health behavior has been associated with delinquency and antisocial personality features have been associated with taste preferences. The purpose of this study was to identify the taste preferences differences between non-delinquent and delinquent population. PrefQuest (PQ) was used for measuring food preferences. 56 participants were included. The results show a statistically significant difference (18.03) between experimental (n=21, M=158.13, SD=30.89) and control groups (n=35, M=176.17, SD=31.19) related to sweet taste preferences, t (54)=2.10, p=0.040, 95% CI [.82, 35.23] and a statistically significant difference (29.30) between experimental (n=21, M=195.13, SD=50.84) and control groups (n=35, M=224.46, SD=47.78) regarding to sweet & fatty taste preferences, t(54)=2.16, p=0.035, 95% CI [2.21, 56.38]. There were no statistically significant differences between control and experimental groups related to salty and salty & fatty taste preferences. The findings could bring a novel insight into the crime prevention strategy based on improving eating behavior, which may contribute to booster the health of the young people with the added benefit of reducing delinquency. Efforts to control delinquency should consider that the adequate emotional reward offered by the food, as an identity and social marker, could be a pathway to psychological rehabilitation in juvenile delinquency.

Political Affections on Online Social Network: The Opinative Priority During the Presidential Campaigns

Author(s): Aloha Boeck / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: opinion; online social network; community of fans; ; affect;

How does the urgency on publicizing opinions was expressed in the uses of an online social network during a conflicted period of time like the Presidential Campaign in countries such as Brazil and United States? In these scenarios, it seems that it is not enough to simply reflect on certain relevant topics; it seems essential to externalize opinions that seek to establish an intransigent position. To understand this phenomenon, possible evidence can be found in the way communities of fans are organized, guided by the regulation of affections in the media and in education. Thus, the concept of "opinionative priority" is proposed to understand the disputes about the meaning of democracy that emerge in online social networks, being the attempt to corroborate, counter or refute a statement, in a power dispute. It is the tensioning itself resulting from the need to belong, caused by social networks, and participatory culture, because it is not enough to be and be seen, it is necessary to be part of the discussions, or to initiate a new one. These disputes treat diverse opinions as enemies to be exterminated, obliterating the pluralistic democratic condition, supported by the fundamental right of freedom of speech. Therefore, it is understood that the "opinionative priority" is more than a communication process, since it promotes a pedagogical action in which opinion is formed from absence of moderation, once there is no time for considerations; there is only the urgency to defend a point of view in social networks.

Judicial Discontents in Democracy: Interrogating the Contradictions

Author(s): Adeline Nnenna Idike,Ikechukwu Ogoeze Ukeje,K. C. Nwachukwu,Okeke Remi Chukwudi / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: judiciary; judicial discontents; democracy; democratic regimes; Nigeria;

The French judge and political philosopher, Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, otherwise, simply known as Montesquieu, propounded the theory of separation of powers, currently implemented in many democracies across the world. Implicit in the terminology of separation of powers, is the desire for a seamless democracy or the type of democracy with minimal national bitterness. None of the three arms of government was ever envisaged to be a possible source of discontent in democracy. What then is to be done when one of these tripartite coequals (specifically the judiciary) becomes the source of discontent in an assumed democratic polity? This paper interrogates the embedded issues.

Responding to Urban Violence Via Human Rights Approach to Urbanization

Author(s): Joan Mbagwu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: urbanization; violence; government policies; human rights; development;

The concept of urbanization in global development is a new approach which is currently sweeping through developing countries (Nigeria, Ghana, Mali) like a wild fire. However, with the huge efforts and speed at which urbanization is being pursued, many governments of these countries appear overwhelmed and unable to cope with its challenges as they are not able to provide enough basic infrastructures and services for the growth urban population. Nigeria is one of the countries struggling to cope with the challenges of urbanization especially in the areas of security of lives and property. The desire to write this article was motivated by the current inadequacy in urban policy implementation in relation to security in Nigeria. Relevant literature and archival retrieval of historical documents were reviewed. This article discussed important features of urbanization challenges in Nigeria like: rapid population growth and changing demographic structure; poverty and unemployment; difficulties in accessing housing delivery inputs; and lack of adequate capacity on the part of government. Finally, it examined the implications of these challenges in relation to the issue of insecurity in urban areas and maintained that urban policies in developing cities if properly implemented and managed should bring about a reduction of the lingering and persistent insecurity challenges and promote economic and social development.
