Changes made to the administration system in Poland in the years 1989–1990 were aimed at decentralising state government and increasing the importance of local government bodies. The author of this article reckons that this idea has not been reflected in the Polish body of law yet. There are no legal regulations provided in the provisions of law – not only in terms of the legal situation of historic preservation offices but also with regard to deciding what should fall under the authority of local government bodies. Scope of duties of local government historic preservation officers working in separate offices should be similar to the one that individual departments have. Moreover, authority should no longer be granted on discretionary basis. A principle should be therefore formulated that everything what comes within the competence of historic preservation officers must comply with statutory legislation. If a local government body wants to be delegated either full or partial authority, it should prove that it has both organisational and financial capacity to exercise it. We should therefore work towards a complete solution which would be practical and possible to adopt on both state and regional scale.

In many jurisdictions around the world, community safety and crime prevention activity is supported by interagency committees. In the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), local government Community Safety Officers (CSOs) lead, support or participate in a range of interagency and ‘whole of government’ networks, most of which were established to support central NSW state government crime prevention and community safety initiatives. Research was conducted with the aim of exploring the CSOs’ experience of the ‘whole of government’ partnerships established to support community safety and crime prevention in NSW.[i] The findings support international research which suggests that central-local partnerships are inhibited by different agendas, responsibilities and power dynamics across different levels of government. Some of the key contextual challenges for this work include concerns about costs shifting from State to local government and about shifting State government priorities; barriers to funding and to accessing crime (and other) data; and various administrative burdens. Consequently, we argued that there is a need for formal engagement and negotiation between, on the one hand, State government agencies that steer NSW crime prevention and, on the other, community safety policy initiatives and local government. Such engagement could help overcome the perception, indeed the reality, that shifting and dumping costs and responsibilities to local government is creating a range of burdens for CSOs.

Introduction. Today, local governments carry out their own activities aimed at ensuring local development, providing services to citizens in the conditions of limited material, financial and technical resources. This makes it necessary to use effective mechanisms for cooperation of local governments with citizens, the establishment of feedback mechanisms. The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of the forms of public participation in local self-government, identification of their shortcomings in order to define vectors for further application of these forms. Method (methodology). The methodological basis of the article consists of general scientific and empirical methods of scientific research, such as: the system method and the generalization method. Results of work. The forms and corresponding (levels) of public participation in local self-government are systematized. The analysis of the existing practice on the forms of public participation in the Pidvolochysk village united territorial community is carried out. The regulations that regulate the use of forms of public participation in the Pidvolochysk community are indicated and analyzed. It is established that the forms of public participation in the Pidvolochysk village united territorial community are represented by: informing, public consultations, studying and taking into account the opinion of residents in the process of forming directions of local development. Conclusions. Under a centralized system of public administration, citizen participation in local self-government was minimal, and mechanisms for public participation were imperfect, as they existed only on paper. Adopting a model of participatory democracy requires the active participation of the public in the management of local affairs. Such participation should take appropriate forms and be based on appropriate legal mechanisms and procedures. Sphere of results application. Forms of public participation in local governance, adoption and implementation of management decisions to ensure local development should be accompanied by public awareness of the possibilities of such participation, on the one hand, and the desire of officials and employees of local governments to listen to citizens, respond adequately, take into account her – on the other. Only under such conditions will the involvement of citizens in solving local government issues become mutually beneficial both for the residents of the respective territory and for the local self-government body.

Responsibility for forest-linked dangers: examples from legal practice According to the Forest Policy 2020 of the Federal Council the share of old and dead wood should increase in Swiss forests. On the one hand, this is connected to positive ecological effects but on the other, to dangers, responsibilities and liability risks. Recent court and administrative decisions relating to accidents due to typical forest hazards such as falling trees and branches illustrate the legal situation for forest owners and enterprises as well as for forestry professionals. In the wooded environment near buildings and equipment there are obligations for the safety of traffic and passers-by. However, these obligations are limited by the reasonableness of protective measures and the personal responsibility of forest users. In this paper, the liability issue is illustrated by three legal case studies. The cases are assessed by the author, and the essential legal basis for liability is briefly summarized.

The study investigated the adoption of improved rice varieties by farmers in Bende Local Government Area, Abia State, Nigeria. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select a total of 120 rice farmers. Descriptive statistics and tobit regression model were employed to analyze the data. Results showed that cumulatively 73.3% of the farmers fell within the age range of 20-50 years, most (86.7%) of the rice farmers were literate. More than half (57.5%) of the rice farmers are females. Result further indicated that 43.3% had household sizes of 5-8 persons. A fair proportion (33.3%) had been in rice production for 11-15 years, while majority (73.3%) belongs to farmers’ associations. Fairly good (51.6%) were aware of the improved rice varieties and used it, while a substantial number (93.3%) number of the farmers cultivated swamp rice. MAS 240 variety (mean=3.13), Faro 7 variety (mean=2.95), Faro II variety (mean=2.75), Faro 8 variety (mean=2.70.) and Faro 48 variety (mean=2.68) were highly adopted by farmers in the area. The Chi square value of 7.290 was significant at 1.0% probability level and indicates goodness of fit of the model used. Coefficient of age (-0.023), and gender (-1.967) were negative and significant at 10.0% and 1.0% level of probability respectively. The coefficient of education level (0.041), farm size (0.940), farming experience (0.206) and membership of farmers’ association (0.168) were significant at 5.0% and were positively related to adoption of improved rice varieties. Farmers encountered various problems of paucity of funds (35.8%), scarcity of inputs (22.5%), and dearth of information (20.89). Based on these findings it was recommended that rice farmers should form cooperative societies to enable them raise funds for buying agricultural equipment to boost rice production. More young male farmers should be sensitized and motivated by the state government to take up rice production since female farmers dominate rice production in the area. Extension agencies should increase the level of information dissemination and teaching to the rice farmers’ clientele.Key words: Adoption, Improved Varieties, Rice

Abstract Marriage migrant women are vulnerable to forms of partner violence, particularly in the first five years after migration to the Netherlands because of their dependence on their partner for residence rights. This article, based on qualitative research amongst Moroccan marriage migrant women in the Netherlands and women who have been left behind in Morocco, examines their position and analyses how legal regulations and residence dependency on the one hand, and the integration process on the other hand, play a role in cases of intimate partner violence. This qualitative research cannot offer figures about intimate partner violence and is not representative for couples with migrant origin in general, nor for migrants from Moroccan origin. The aim is to examine the relation between dependence residence rights and intimate partner violence.

The article considers the legal status of the voivode during the interwar period, the time of the difficult restoration of the Polish identity and the creation of the Polish state in the post-Partition lands with three separate systems of territorial division and local administration. The legal situation of the office of the voivode is closely related to the establishment of the systemic foundations of the highest Polish authorities (legislative and executive) and local administration (initially, on the territory of the former Kingdom of Poland and then on the gradually annexed former Polish territories). The author refers to both spheres of legal activity of the Polish state at that time. She discusses the primary political acts, i.e. the March Constitution (1921), the April Constitution (1935) and the Constitutional Act (1926), as well as regulations concerning county administrative authorities of the first instance, situated in the then two-tier (ministries – county offices) administrative apparatus. Attention is primarily focused on the acts directly concerning the position of the voivode, i.e. the Act of 2 August 1919, the Regulation of the President of the Republic of 19 January 1928, and executive acts issued on the basis of these, and against whose background the importance of the legal institution of the voivode is presented: during the time of attempts to unify the administrative system (1918–1928), and in the period of changes leading to a uniform organisational structure of voivodship administrative authorities (1928–1939). The analysis makes it possible to state that successive legal conditions strengthened the political position of the voivode. In both periods covered by the analysis, the voivode was a representative of the government (with broader competences in 1928–1939), the executor of orders from individual ministers, the head of state and local government authorities and offices (1918–1928), the head of general administrative bodies subordinate to him, and the supervisory body over local government (1928–1939). The position of the voivode in the interwar period was unquestionably very strong.

Introduction: being a structural and functional element of the state mechanism (a kind of “state within the state”), the prison system is transforming along with it. Accordingly, the image status of the prison itself and representatives of “prison authorities” and “prison population” is also changing. We bring to the fore the problem of understanding the term “system” in the context of the image status of the social system in general and the penal system in particular. We highlight the formation of semantic images and image statuses on the example of three social institutions (school, army, prison), which are similar in terms of parametric characteristics and functioning and qualitatively different in image status. The article comprehensively examines the bipolar image of the penal system: on the one hand, prison is inextricably linked with human misfortune, an evil that cannot be treated positively; on the other hand, as an instrument of state law enforcement policy, the prison guarantees the inevitability of punishment for a crime, ensuring the execution of punishment, protecting law-abiding citizens, which is a good thing for society and the state. Research materials and methods: the features of formation and functioning of the image status of the Russian penal (“prison”) system are considered in the context of the concept of cyclic political genesis. In accordance with this concept, in relation to the history of the unified Russian state, three cycles should be distinguished (imperial, Soviet, post-Soviet). Within the framework of each, Russia was represented by qualitatively different forms of state government, economic order, social structure, etc. At the same time, in such “different” Russian states, there were different models of prison systems, the formation and functioning of which, as well as the transformation of the image status, was carried out under the influence of state prison policy and under the influence of public consciousness (national mentality). Results: the current state of the Russian penal system can be described as transitional. Along with the legacy of the “Soviet past”, we observe serious changes proceeding from democratization and humanization of the political and legal system of the Russian Federation. Transformation of the image of the penal system is aimed at increasing the level of openness and forming a positive opinion about the functioning of the penitentiary system (the Concept for development until 2030). It is important that in the public consciousness the image of the penal system as a predominantly punitive prison system gradually be replaced by the idea of it as a penitentiary system, which is concerned primarily with “revival of the essence of humanity” in a person through awareness and repentance. As for the image status of employees of the penal system, the state can optimize it first of all by equalizing their official status with that of military personnel and special services employees, who, like representatives of the prison system, serve the Russian state, but are in a privileged position in relation to them. Increasing the prestige of the service in the penal system in the eyes of actual or potential employees implies the rejection of such differentiation.

It is time for state servants to provide services to society in a professional, honest, fair and equitable manner in carrying out state, government and development tasks. This study aims to realize the attitude of state servants who must be neutral from the influence of all political groups and parties and not be discriminatory in providing services to the community. In the legal and governmental aspects, bureaucratic reform is a very strong issue to be realized. The methodology used in this research is descriptive qualitative with an effort to explain the phenomena in the field related to the Indonesian government bureaucracy which is suspected to have contributed greatly to the occurrence of various public service crisis management. The findings of this study indicate that there is a bureaucratic culture that is thick with bureaucratic politicization and the lack of transparency in public services. The mainactor public services has not prioritized fair service to the community. Therefore, bureaucratic reform is expected to be corrective measures against the Government's political policies so that bureaucratic neutrality occurs.

This work investigates the nutritional qualities of three common local tomato cultivars UTC, Dan -Masari and Dan-Eka in Dutsinma Local Government using standard techniques. The proximate, mineral, vitamins and lycopene contents were determined using AOAC method of analysis and the values were as follows. The moisture contents of the tomatoes were 95.56± 0.16 %, 93.85±0.12 %, 93.97±0.61 % for UTC, Dan-masari and Dan-eka respectively. Ash content were 0.36±0.03 %, 0.47±0.06 %, 0.51±0.09 % respectively. Protein content were 0.99±0.04 %, 0.73±0.07 %, and 0.79±0.79 % in the same order. Total carbohydrate for UTC indicated values of 2.58±0.24%, Dan-eka indicated value of 4.72±0.04% and Dan-masari indicated values of 4.53±0.38 %. While the fat content showed 0.19±0.00 %, 0.73±0.07 %, 0.188±0.01 % in that order. For vitamin A, the results were 19.80±0.73 mg/kg, 18.93±0.71 mg/kg and 15.49±0.24 mg/kg respectively. For vitamin B2 and B3 UTC has 0.003±0.00 mg/kg and 0.05±0.18 mg/kg in the same respect, Dan-eka showed B2 0.05±0.08 mg/kg and B3 0.15±0.20 mg/kg respectively while Dan-masari indicated B2 0.000±0.00 mg/kg and B3 0.15±0.20 mg/kg and vitamin C indicated values of 42.68±8.93 mg/kg for UTC, Dan-eka showed 52.82±3.60 mg/kg and Dan-masari showed values of 84.47±1.67 mg/kg. The lycopene content UTC has the values of 116.01±1.59 mg/kg, Dan-eka indicated 127.18±3.65 mg/kg and Dan-masari showed 91.36±2.24 mg/kg. The mineral content for potassium indicated values of 3.74±0.28 ppm, 3.40±0.16 ppm, 3.08±0.61 ppm for UTC, Dan-eka and Dan-masari respectively. For the iron content, 0.008±0.04 ppm, 0.002±0.00 ppm and 0.004±0.00 ppm of UTC, Dan-eka and Dan-masari respectively. Magnesium values were 0.27±0.07 ppm, 0.22±0.16 ppm and 0.25±0.02 ppm correspondingly. For calcium, the obtained values were 0.26±0.04 ppm, 0.26±0.05 ppm, 0.38±0.07 ppm respectively. The sodium contents were 0.18±0.02 ppm, 0.18±0.08 ppm, 0.30±0.13 ppm in that order. These local varieties grown in Dutsinma are also good source of nutrient with no difference in the physiological quality parameters compared to the one been imported. However, Dan-eka shows higher content of these nutrients in terms of lycopene and vitamin contents which makes it the best of these cultivars. However the results of this work suggest that three cultivars can provide good industrial raw materials for paste production because their total solids are within the range of specification and can meet daily recommended intake of lycopene and vitamin, moreover the low fat values for these samples gives it a positive nutritional implication.
