The different operators, both transport and hotel, are used to perform a number of practices which, by its importance have been aim of regulation of international and national legislators. Economic interests from both parties companies and the customers, enhance the need to make more flexible traditional contracts of sale by establishing mechanisms for the resign of the contract by the customer, with greater or lesser penalties, and, in the other hand, the possibility that the number of booked seats or rooms would be greater than the initially available. However, the boundaries between licit, illicit operations and criminal behavior occur occasionally blurred. The purpose of this work is to establish some guidelines to define clearly the border between legal, illegal, or criminal conduct, and the response that law gives in each case.

Everywhere the first impulse to social action is given as a rule by real interests, i.e., by political and economic interests. Ideal interests lend wings to these real interests, give them a spiritual meaning, and serve to justify them. Man does not live by bread alone. He wants to have a good conscience as he pursues his life-interests. And in pursuing them he develops his capacities to the highest extent only if he believes that in so doing he serves a higher rather than a purely egotistic purpose. Interests without such “spiritual wings” are lame; but on the other hand, ideas can win out in history only if and insofar as they are associated with real interest

The objective of violation information mining is to comprehend different violation designs in criminal conduct in request to foresee viola-tions and expect criminal movement to stay away from the violation not to happen. Foreseeing violation is one of the worldwide difficulties looking by Law authorization office and it requires tireless endeavors with a specific end goal to limit. In this paper we are presenting anoth-er violation design called general incessant violation design which happens frequently at certain time interims utilizing vertical information arrange additionally fulfills descending conclusion property. Violation designs were not characterized by insights and its distinguishing proof is some-thing other than checking and abridging violations that are comparable in attributes and additionally area on a guide. Violation design is a gathering of at least one violations answered to or on the other hand found by the police.

<p>On 14 February 2018 the Draft of the Criminal Code (RKUHP) was adjourned until an undetermined time, several articles deemed to be problematic. One of them is a criminal act of fornication. A new article will convict a denial-men who promises woman he has intercoursed with. Eventhough that article is meant to protect women, on the other hand, it can also be a factor to victimize women as perpetrator. This paper examines the position of women among the articles which will protect women's rights as well as those which criminalize them. This paper is a normative juridical study by using literature review and aims to find the problem and also intend solving it. The result, victimized-women protection Article in RKUHP should carefully be formulated in order not to allow victim women to be criminalized.</p>

This chapter investigates the conditions that must be fulfilled if it is to be meaningful to develop a legal politics that would provide guidance to the legislator. It is argued that in general, the necessary precondition for politics conceived as a technique for influencing society with the aid of rational methods is the assumption that rational deliberations and arguments are among the factors determining human action. Accordingly, in the realm of legal politics, the decisive question is whether and to what extent the law is created by the legislator’s ‘will’, understood as an expression of a conscious activity determined by rational deliberations and rational arguments; or whether and to what extent the law is created in a process that is independent thereof. The chapter considers and dismisses two extreme but equally untenable views: the prophets of fate and the utopians. Instead, it argues for a balanced view. Legal politics is possible because the legislator is not impotent. However, the possibilities of legal politics are limited because the legislator is not omnipotent, either. The legislator encounters social forces (in particular legal consciousness, economic interests, and power relations) that cannot be invoked by mere words. On the other hand, it is not a question of a permanent and impassable barrier, either.

Religion and nation are significant phenomena that, in a sense, determine human social and historical essence and existence. However, the relationship between religion and nation is only marginally debated in social-philosophical, anthropologic, and sociological theories of nation, as well as in the philosophy and sociology of religion. Anthropologists and sociologists on the one hand, claim that mutual territory, economic interests, language, culture, origin, state, consciousness, character etc. are constitutive factors of the forming of a nation, but they rarely mention religion. Religiologisits and theologians, on the other hand, when discussing nation and religion, always mention a certain difference between religion as a universal, transcendent and eschatological entity, and nation as a secular and historical particularity. However, the authors of this text remark on the relations of these phenomena in their historical becoming and development. This is especially evident in the case of the forming of Yugoslav nations.

Threat is one of behaviors which punishment is considered for it in the criminal law of Iran and US. The importance of investigating on crime of threat is where, persons and civilians in accordance with domestic laws and international instruments have the very important right as “freedom of speech” and the mentioned right violation is accompanied by criminal sanctions, on the other hand, some words or committing a specific behavior by them and according the same rules is banned and considered as is criminal threats. Nevertheless, laws of both countries have adopted different approaches in regards to terms of realization of the crime and its various manifestations. Knowing the characteristics of the crime play a significant role in explaining and analyzing criminal behavior and compliance with legal cases. Some of these features in the laws of both countries explicitly and others have been stated implicitly. The lack of clear rules regarding certain characteristics of the threat, made it difficult that jurists, judges and lawyers to understand these features. Therefore, in this paper determine the characteristics of the threat in the Iran an US law.

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

We have become accustomed to differentiating between the scanning microscope and the conventional transmission microscope according to the resolving power which the two instruments offer. The conventional microscope is capable of a point resolution of a few angstroms and line resolutions of periodic objects of about 1Å. On the other hand, the scanning microscope, in its normal form, is not ordinarily capable of a point resolution better than 100Å. Upon examining reasons for the 100Å limitation, it becomes clear that this is based more on tradition than reason, and in particular, it is a condition imposed upon the microscope by adherence to thermal sources of electrons.

Life beyond 1MeV – like life after 40 – is not too different unless one takes advantage of past experience and is receptive to new opportunities. At first glance, the returns on performing electron microscopy at voltages greater than 1MeV diminish rather rapidly as the curves which describe the well-known advantages of HVEM often tend towards saturation. However, in a country with a significant HVEM capability, a good case can be made for investing in instruments with a range of maximum accelerating voltages. In this regard, the 1.5MeV KRATOS HVEM being installed in Berkeley will complement the other 650KeV, 1MeV, and 1.2MeV instruments currently operating in the U.S. One other consideration suggests that 1.5MeV is an optimum voltage machine – Its additional advantages may be purchased for not much more than a 1MeV instrument. On the other hand, the 3MeV HVEM's which seem to be operated at 2MeV maximum, are much more expensive.

Summary: My comment is basically restricted to the situation in which less-able students find themselves and refers only to literature in German. From this point of view I am basically able to confirm Marsh's results. It must, however, be said that with less-able pupils the opposite effect can be found: Levels of self-esteem in these pupils are raised, at least temporarily, by separate instruction, academic performance however drops; combined instruction, on the other hand, leads to improved academic performance, while levels of self-esteem drop. Apparently, the positive self-image of less-able pupils who receive separate instruction does not bring about the potential enhancement of academic performance one might expect from high-ability pupils receiving separate instruction. To resolve the dilemma, it is proposed that individual progress in learning be accentuated, and that comparisons with others be dispensed with. This fosters a self-image that can in equal measure be realistic and optimistic.
