Being a citizen of a country is the status of citizenship. If one has citizenship of a country, he would have the right to live there, work, vote, use community resources, pay taxes etc. Citizenship for persons with Intellectual Disability (PwID) is exactly the same as citizenship for anyone else.  Citizenship is important for all of us. Having an ID is not a barrier to citizenship in fact it is useful because it helps communities come together, but it does become a barrier if society lets prejudice and power get in the way. The fundamental rights in our constitution are considered as basic human rights of all citizens, irrespective of their gender, caste, religion, disability etc. whereas when it comes to PwID, it sounds so difficult. Therefore, for this study 10 Adolescent students with Mild and moderate Intellectual disability were selected through purposive sampling method and a training program was organized to find out the understanding of these intangible concepts. Five selected topics i.e. community participation, community resources, fundamental rights, self-advocacy, election were included in the training program. The data collected was analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods both. The finding of the study reveals that through proper planning, role play, exposure in community and using visual clues, the awareness level of democracy, citizenship and election etc. can definitely enhance the understanding of citizenship among PwID.

In all EU Member States the status of people employed on job platforms is not fully legally regulated. It is necessary to consider the sources of the contemporary phenomenon of electronic employment, which is not amenable to legal regulation in the Union constituting an “area of freedom, security and justice with respect for fundamental rights” (Art. 67 (1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). The right to work in decent conditions, with adequate remuneration, belongs to this category of rights. In the discussion on employment platforms state authorities are more inclined to consider issues related to new technologies, processes and changes caused by the development and application of modern digital technologies (digitization) in almost all areas. The headquarters of trade unions mainly discuss the legal position of employees and the role of employment platforms in employment relations in the post-industrial era. Entrepreneurs and their organizations, including private institutions and employment platforms, are interested in equal treatment by national legislators in local labour markets. They are afraid of the breach of the balance favorable to their own economic interests, caused by the public interest in the possibility of using employment in atypical forms of employment. Services consisting in employment provided under employment platforms are incomparably cheaper than identical work performed by employees employed under employment contracts.

Appropriate and accurate decision making is needed in every business activity. Farmers, collectors, and butchers at Slaughterhouses are the main actors in cattle production and marketing to final consumers. Modeling of cattle production activities to marketing helps the analysis and application of the right decision making. This research was conducted in Lolong Guba District, Buru Regency, Maluku Province, Indonesia, and will take place in 2021. The research aims to establish a model of cattle production and marketing activities. The research used a combination method, namely qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods were used to collect primary data information from cattle breeders, collector traders, and butchers at Slaughterhouses. Quantitative methods are used to record and make quantitative data from the informants. The resulting data will be used for model testing and simulation analysis in the future. The model formulated includes the variables of the amount of cattle produced by the breeder, the amount of production sold, the profit received by the farmer, the cost of production of the farmer, the value of cattle sales at the farmer level, the added value of cattle that are not sold, the price of kilograms of carcass at the farmer level, the value of the sale of cattle at the butcher's level, the profit received by the butcher, and the price per kilogram of carcass at the butcher's level. The model formed consists of 8 structural equations and 2 identity equations.

Currently, environmental issues are a sensitive matter and are widely discussed in the world and in Indonesia. Environmentally friendly products have started to be widely used and have become a new lifestyle for several groups of people. Many business actors take this opportunity to start a business which at the same time invites the public to care more about environmental health. Therapeutic is a new business created because of the founder's awareness of environmental issues that are currently happening. Carrying eco-friendly products, Therapeutic sells natural soap bar and scented products that are made from natural ingredients and do not cause environmental damage, as well as applying the concepts of less-waste, reuse, and eco-lifestyle. As a new brand that stands in the midst of a pandemic like today, Therapeutic has several obstacles, namely in Indonesia there have been many similar products or businesses that will cause Therapeutic to lose competitiveness and lose name when faced with competitors. In addition, Therapeutic still needs trust from consumers, which is very necessary for the types of products and systems from Therapeutic. From the problems faced, Therapeutic conducted research to find out what marketing strategies and promotional media were right to increase brand awareness.   The formulation of the problem in this study is how the brand activation strategy and promotional media are in accordance with the target market to increase Therapeutic brand awareness in social media. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods in collecting data. The qualitative method is carried out by interviewing several experts and extreme users of eco-lifestyle actors to find data on how to carry out the right promotion. The quantitative method is carried out by surveying the Indonesian people to find out what social media platforms are most effective in promoting. The results of this study concluded that the right brand activation strategy for Therapeutic is by carrying out activities that can attract public interest such as workshops, so that the activities carried out can simultaneously introduce products and brands and provide education. The right social media platform to promote Therapeutic activation is Instagram.   Keywords: Brand Activation, Eco-Lifestyle, Eco-Friendly, Social Media.

Abstract Until recently, federal programs had not explicitly focused on improving the outcomes of highly vulnerable teen parents. Established in 2010, the Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) aims to improve the health, social, educational, and economic outcomes for expectant and parenting teens and young adults, their children, and their families, through providing grants to states and tribes. This article introduces the Maternal and Child Health Journal supplement “Supporting Expectant and Parenting Teens: The Pregnancy Assistance Fund,” which draws together the perspectives of researchers and practitioners to provide insights into serving expectant and parenting teens through the PAF program. The articles in the supplement include examples of programs that use different intervention strategies to support teen parents, with programs based in high school, college, and community settings in both urban and rural locations. Some of the articles provide rigorous evidence of what works to support teen parents. In addition, the articles demonstrate key lessons learned from implementation, including allowing some flexibility in implementation while clearly outlining core programmatic components, using partnerships to meet the multifaceted needs of young parents, hiring the right staff and providing extensive training, using strategies for engaging and recruiting teen parents, and planning for sustainability early. The studies use a range of qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate programs to support teen parents, and three articles describe how to implement innovative and cost effective methods to evaluate these kinds of programs. By summarizing findings across the supplement, we increase understanding of what is known about serving expectant and parenting teens and point to next steps for future research.

This article interrogates the assumption that media content analyses based on mixed-method research are free of contradictions. We argue that when qualitative and quantitative methods are used simultaneously, the different research paradigms applied in the process cannot be reconciled in a bid to produce consistency. In order to do this, we review in this paper the findings and methodology of a project funded by the EU Fundamental Rights Agency on the coverage of migrants and minorities in the UK press. Focusing more specifically on the codification and interpretation of the Appraisal variable used in the project, we investigate how its subjective definition and challenging quantification are indicative of some of the problems of consistency accompanying the intersection of qualitative and quantitative approaches to content analysis. In this sense, we do not dismiss the potential of mixedmethod research to deliver insightful findings, but warn against the mechanical application of cross-paradigmatic approaches, and argue that the gaps and inconsistencies exposed by different paradigms can reveal more about the ambivalence of media representation than their uncritical synchronisation can. Keywords Mixed methods. Content analysis. Journalism. Human rights.

Os direitos fundamentais são a base da garantia do exercício pleno da dignidade humana.A salvaguarda desses direitos pelo país é um dever que não pode ser relegado ou olvidado. Desta forma, existem mecanismos que compelem o Estado a proteger, defender e cobrar respeito pelos mesmospor parte da sociedade e de outros Estados. No caso da adoção internacional, o direito à convivência familiar é conquistado pelos adotandos a partir da sentença judicial brasileira. Porém, ao se tornarem filhos de pais domiciliados em outro Estado, as crianças e adolescentes aqui nascidos precisam ter as garantias que são atinentes ao status de cidadão daquele país. A partir do reconhecimento do direito à nacionalidade pelo país de acolhida das crianças, elas passam a usufruir de uma condição de equiparação a seus adotantes, do ponto de vista de direitos e deveres. A nacionalidade ou cidadania para os adotandos é um direito fundamental que necessita ser conquistado e preservado, através das normativas internas ou de direito convencional, visando atender ao superior interesse da criança ou adolescente. A legislação italiana é uma das legislações estrangeiras que possui tais dispositivos, o que se torna uma grande conquista no direito transnacional. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: direitos fundamentais; adoção internacional; direito à convivência familiar; direito à nacionalidade   Abstract Fundamental rights are the basis for ensuring the full exercise of human dignity. The safeguarding of these rights by the country is a duty that can not be relegated or forgotten. Thus, there are mechanisms that compel the State to protect, defend and claim respect for them by society and other States. In the case of international adoption, the right to family coexistence is won by adoptees based on the Brazilian judicial decision. However, when they become children of parents domiciled in another State, the children and adolescents here born need to have the guarantees that are pertinent to the status of citizen of that country. From the recognition of the right to nationality by the host country of the children, they will enjoy a condition of equality with their adopters, from the point of view of rights and duties. Nationality or citizenship for adopte is a fundamental right that needs to be won and preserved, through internal norms or conventional law, in order to meet the superior interest of the child or adolescent. The Italian legislation is one of the foreign laws that have such devices, which becomes a great achievement in transnational law. KEYWORDS: fundamental rights; international adoption; right to family life; right to nationality

Extraordinary Means

One of the fundamental rights that a subject in criminal proceedings owns, is the right to appellate a court decision, which besides the usual means of appeal in Albanian system of justice, are guaranteed also by extraordinary means of appeal as it’s reviewing a decision despites any deadline of appeal. The review is the means of appeal, which aims to strike court decisions, which have become final, with positive expectations in each case, to improve the status of the offender. In the constitutional of Albania of 1998 this institute, was not regulated explicitly, but there was foreseen as part of jurisdiction of the High Court, where clearly was put that the high court had preliminary and reviewing jurisdiction. In the framework of the Justice Reforming in 2016, the HC Was stripped of its reviewing jurisdiction. The competence to re-examine a final court decision was given to the first instance court, which can judge in these cases any type of decision that fulfils the criteria to be reviewed, despite the fact if this decision has been taken by an Appeal Court or the High Court. Undertaking legal changes in constitute and Code of Criminal Procedure for this institute came as response/regarding to the legal vacuum found in Albanian system of justice as well as the contractual practice with the ECHR, established by the Albanian court. The Albanian system did not have the effective means to guarantee the right to a fair legal process, the implementation of which has been ascertained by the ECHR in some of the decisions given against Albania as (Xheraj vs Albania; Lika vs Albania etc.). Because of that, in the CPC, become larger the number of cases, when the re-examining of this type of court decision could be done. The purpose of this article is to present in a comparative form the institute of reviewing court decisions; it aims to prescribe how this mean of appeal was and how it is now after the reform, to continue further with the findings of problems that have arisen from the practice of implementing this means of appeal from its latest changes. Justice reform is still in its infancy and therefore the practice of elaborating this tool has been insufficient.
