Third Sector Organisations

The social impact bond (SIB) is defined as a form of payment-by-results scheme combining governmental payments with private investments. This paper explores the motivations and implications of three third sector organisations (TSOs) participating in SIBs in Continental Europe. It offers an understanding of the involvement of TSOs in this type of scheme; and it shares insights about a context that is different from the United Kingdom and the United States – the Netherlands – which presents the opportunity to expand our knowledge about SIBs.

The COVID-19 pandemic assumed an international health threat, and in turn, spotlighted the distinct disparities in civil rights, opportunity, and inclusion witnessed by lived experiences of African Americans. Although these harsh disparities have existed through the United States of America's history, the age of technology and mass media in the 21st century allows for a deeper and broader look into the violation of African Americans civil liberties in virtual real time. Also, historically, the sports world has been instrumental in fighting for the civil rights of African Americans; athletes such as Jesse Owens and Muhammed Ali led by example. This chapter will showcase how the sports world continues to support social justice overall and specifically during this international pandemic. The authors will examine contemporary events like the transition in support for Colin Kaepernick's protest against police brutality and the NBA play-off (Bubble) protest in 2020.

The Relationship

The early apprehensions about how deepfakes (also deep fakes) could be weaponized for social and political purposes are now coming to pass. This study is one of the first to examine the social impact of deepfakes. Using an online survey sample in the United States, this study investigates the relationship between citizen concerns regarding deepfakes, exposure to deepfakes, inadvertent sharing of deepfakes, the cognitive ability of individuals, and social media news skepticism. Results suggest that deepfakes exposure and concerns are positively related to social media news skepticism. In contrast, those who frequently rely on social media as a news platform are less skeptical. Higher cognitive abled individuals are more skeptical of news on social media. The moderation findings suggest that among those who are more concerned about deepfakes, inadvertently sharing a deepfake is associated with heightened skepticism. However, these patterns are more pronounced among low than high cognitive individuals.

<p>Abstrak: Penerapan Hukuman Mati: Suatu Analisa Dampak Sosial di Arab Saudi dan Amerika Serikat. Sampai saat ini hukuman mati telah menjadi perdebatan serius tidak hanya di kalangan ahli hukum di Barat tetapi juga di negara Islam. Persoalan yang mengemuka apakah hukuman ini masih relevan untuk menjadi faktor jera bagi pelaku kriminal, kalau tidak, lalu hukum apa yang akan dijadikan penggantinya. Makalah ini mencoba mendiskusikan sejauh mana keefektifan hukuman mati dalam memberi dampak jera bagi pelanggar hukum. Dengan merujuk kepada penerapan hukuman mati dalam konsep Islam sebagaimana diterapkan di Arab Saudi dan Amerika Serikat sebagai contoh kasus, penulis mengemukakan bahwa penerapan hukum tersebut secara konsisten telah mampu mengurangi tingkat tindak pidana secara drastis.</p><p><br />Kata Kunci: Capital punishment, Saudi Arabia, the United States<br /><br /></p>
