The three great monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam — the subject matter of this survey — have several distinctive marks in common: they postulate the belief in and worship of God; they each have holy scriptures and other canonical texts and vest authoritative interpretations or applications thereof with binding force; each designates a class of officials or functionaries to preserve and propagate the faith; each seeks to imbue its religious, ethical and legal norms into the daily lives of individuals and communities; and none suffers dissidents from within. In addition there are, at least in Christianity and Islam, certain fundamental dogmata (for example, the Holy Trinity in Christianity, the divine prophecy of Muhammad in Islam) which everybody is duty-bound to believe. In each religion, ancient or medieval scholars of authority have compiled lists of articles of faith, the dissent from which by any individual coreligionist is proscribed. It will be shown that these lists are not necessarily exhaustive: the possibilities of dissidence are virtually unlimited.

As a consequence of the transposition of european Directives regarding the merger, division, and cross-border mergers, the Romanian legal system established a special legal framework with regard to the sanction of nullity for such juridical acts. The peculiarities of internal and cross-border reorganisation operations, and the imperative of protecting the interests of third parties, associates, and the companies involved led to the creation of a derogatory legal system on the matter. An analysis of both theoretical and practical perspectives of the subject matter may result in a useful instrument for the application of incidental legal norms, or every time restructuring juridical acts contravene the legal norms.

Expressiveness, flow, and emotion, make music charming, appealing, and moving. Those manifestations are what make music an art. They are what make music musical. When music is stripped of its musicality in order to study it, we can lose the very aesthetic that makes it worthy of listening, performing, and studying (Bennett, 2016). The same is true for nearly any other school subject. Passion for a subject and desire to share that passion are likely what motivated us to become teachers. It should be no surprise, then, that the quality of the subject matter in our class­rooms can influence our vitality for teaching and students’ vitality for learning. Sometimes it is our quest to teach information about our sub­ject that diminishes the very qualities that inspire our passion for it. What a paradox: the way we teach a subject can cause students to lose interest in learning it! How does this happen? Prioritizing expressiveness and curiosity can revitalize us. When we strip enjoyment and fascination from learning and focus only on mechanics or information, we may be strangling interest and aesthetic appeal for our students and for ourselves. What can we do? • Create lessons that capture students’ interest in learning. Find “hooks” that catch their curiosity. • Immerse students in a subject’s applicability to and connec­tions with their daily lives. • Infuse lessons with quirky or humorous samples of ways the subject can be understood or used. Passion for any subject, the musicality of it, can be ignited or extinguished in schools. Teaching subjects in lifeless ways can wear on our spirits. Let’s give ourselves permission to highlight aspects of our subjects we enjoy and commit ourselves to teach­ing those subjects with integrity. When we teach what we love and love what we teach, we are vibrant . . . and so is learning.

A law with a concept on the omnibus law in the world of law in the State of Indonesia is a new perspective in the field of law. The point in omnibus law is different from the meaning, nature, and concept of legal norms in existing laws. We can also interpret this concept as a way of settling the forms of regulation in legislation into law and which in the end have consequences for revoking some invalid regulations. With the use of a new perspective like this, of course, people's thinking is also increasingly modern, including following the flow of globalization. In this era of globalization, there are certainly many incidents in the spread of hoax news. This problem is carried out by qualitative research methods and using several theories. The subject matter to be discussed can also be found in the conclusion that the perspective used by the drafters of the law is increasingly modern which will also provide the potential for the spread of hoaxes from people who follow the flow of globalization. Therefore, if the government and the DPR enforce themselves in making laws with the concept of the omnibus law, then the formation process needs to follow the method of prolegnas, has a good academic script, and is not in a hurry by involving stakeholders and the community.

The feature of the Polish protection of employees is both the vertical and horizontal binding force. The vertical dimension stems from the rights and duties constituted in domestic legal norms being addressed to all of its addressees. These norms, on the other hand, may take on a horizontal dimension since their specification may be the subject of detailed regulations such as normative collective agreements being a basis for seeking redress, concluded by a trade union and an employer. They may thus be the subject of normative content of collective labour agreements, work regulations and separate collective agreements.

Many contemporary legal positivists have argued that legal theory is evaluative because it requires the theorist to make judgments of importance. At the same time they argue that it is possible to know “what the law is” without resort to evaluative considerations. I distinguish between two senses of “what the law is”: in one sense it refers to legal validity, in another to the content of legal norms, and I argue that legal positivism is best understood (as indeed some legal positivists have explicitly said) as a claim about legal content. Understood this way, however, it is open to the objection that knowing the content of legal norms requires evaluative considerations for reasons similar to those offered by positivists for thinking that legal theory is requires evaluative considerations. I then distinguish between evaluative considerations in general and moral considerations and argue that because of the subject-matter of legal norms, there are good reasons for thinking that it is moral considerations, and not just any other evaluative considerations, that are required for knowing the content of legal norms.

The material from Berinjam is intended to make everyone becomes educated in the sense of thinking, listening and be righteous. Berinjam material which is contextualized in mutual cooperation material seizes to shape smart and educated students. In addition, efforts to bring students closer to the peculiarities of the local culture in their homes will not work well if teachers cannot convey it properly. Therefore, teachers must have an adequate understanding of the local cultural values, in addition to their ability to develop the subject matter must be accompanied by contextual so that learning can be achieved. Thus, Berinjam material must be developed through internalization by helping, cooperating and respecting each other.
