Maritime Labour Convention (MLC), 2006 stipulates mandatory financial security for repatriation costs (Standard A 2.5), and contractual compensations related to death or longterm disability of seafarers due to an occupational injury, illness or hazard (Standard A 4.2) that is to be provided by the shipowner. However, financial security system set in the MLC was prescribed very broadly and insufficiently precise and, therefore, it opened a number of questions and doubts. Among others, the following questions are particularly interesting: what the legal nature of the MLC financial security is; from the insurance standpoint, whether this is life or accident insurance, or it is liability insurance; who has an insurable interest and what the nature of that interest is; which document proves fulfilment of MLC requirements. Due to the necessity of improving financial security provisions, in 2014 Amendments to the MLC were adopted that came into force in January 2017. Although the MLC does not explicitly prescribe a system of compulsory insurance, with the third injured party the right to a direct claim (actio directa) towards the liability insurer, marine insurance given its characteristic, appeared as a very suitable method of fulfilling MLC requirements – especially P&I insurance. All the clubs within the International Group of P&I Clubs have agreed to assist their members (shipowners) in complying with these additional financial security requirements under the Amendments to the MLC and issue MLC Certificates to their members. MLC Certificates refer to the MLC Extension Clause, 2016 and thus subject the insurance to conditions and limitations in the said clause. MLC Extension Clause provisions will be added to clubs P&I Rules which form the standard P&I cover.

Thework will discuss the problems arising from the thesis that the economic opportunities are incompatible with the person's primary law - the right to life and equality of treatment. An actively maintained hypothesis claims that the country's economic opportunities and funding should not restrict or reduce a person's right to life and health. In this aspect, it will also study the role of the constitutional court. The author points to the fact that the adoption of such, here the Supreme Court decision, successive constitutional court for a preliminary inaccurate claim and interpretation of the country's economic interests, could deny the right of people to life only after the consideration that they are of no use and financially expensive to be maintained.

The article consider analyses some legal positions of the European Court of Human Rights which connected with the actions of law enforcement officials resulted with the death of suspects during detention. The author made the conclusion that a global understanding by the ECHR of the right to life doesn’t pay attention to the objective legal nature of criminal threats. The ECHR provides the idea that law enforcement agencies play the role of defender of society, but they don’t work as a power tool designed to protect specific actions that could entail social consequences.

Proper irrigation management is critical to conserve and protect water resources and to properly manage nutrients in the home landscape. How lawns and landscapes are irrigated directly impacts the natural environment, so landscape maintenance professionals and homeowners must adopt environmentally-friendly approaches to irrigation management. After selecting the right plant for the right place, water is the next critical factor to establish and maintain a healthy lawn and landscape. Fertilization is another important component of lawn and landscape maintenance, and irrigation must be applied correctly, especially following fertilization, to minimize potential nutrient losses. This publication supplements other UF/IFAS Extension publications that also include information on the role of soil and the root zone in irrigation management. This publication is designed to help UF/IFAS Extension county agents prepare materials to directly address nutrient losses from lawns and landscapes caused by inadequate irrigation management practices. This 6-page fact sheet was written by George Hochmuth, Laurie Trenholm, Don Rainey, Esen Momol, Claire Lewis, and Brian Niemann, and published by the UF Department of Soil and Water Science, October 2013. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ss586

In the submitted study the problem of the formation of financial literacy of students at informatics lessons and relevant training of future informatics teachers is considered. Financial literacy is understood as a set of basic knowledge in the field of finance, banking, insurance, as well as budgeting for personal finances that allow a person to choose the right financial product or service, soberly assess and take risks that may arise during the use of these products, correctly accumulate savings and identify doubtful (fraudulent) investment schemes. The authors conclude that successful development of meaningful lines of the course of financial literacy requires integration of a few school subjects, such as mathematics, history, informatics, social science and literature. The role of modern informatics teacher in the formation of financial literacy of students is great. Therefore, in the training of a future informatics teacher, it should be paid the attention to issues related to the study of elements of financial literacy in informatics lessons. In order to solve the problem, the authors propose to use the special course “Basics of work in 1С:Enterprise”, which is implemented at Penza State University. The article contains a program of the course and the methodological recommendations for its implementation.

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.

Evidently, a few months after the Jakarta Charter was signed, Christian circles from Eastern Indonesia submitted an ultimatum, if the seven words in the Jakarta Charter were still included in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution, then the consequence was that they would not want to join the Republic of Indonesia. The main reason put forward by Pastor Octavian was that Indonesia was seen from its georaphical interests and structure, Western Indonesia was known as the base of Islamic camouflage, while eastern Indonesia was the basis for Christian communities. Oktavianus added that Christians as an integral part of this nation need to realize that they also have the right to life, religious rights, political rights, economic rights, the same rights to the nation and state as other citizens, who in fact are mostly Muslims. This paper aims to determine and understand the extent to which the basic assumptions of the Indonesian people view the role of Islam as presented in an exclusive format.
