COUNTERACTING MOBBING IN THE PROBATION SERVICE

This article discusses the issues related to the possible causes of mobbing in the professional group of probation officers and the issues of tasks and activities of the probation officer employer in situations related to the phenomenon of mobbing in the probation officer service. Due to the special position of probation in the administration of justice, the author focuses on the tasks of presidents of regional and district courts aimed at counteracting the phenomenon of mobbing. It refers to activities that seem advisable in the event of the initiation of appropriate proceedings and remedial actions in the event of confirmation of mobbing. The issue of mobbing in the probation service has not been covered by a broader analysis so far. The aim of this study was to indicate the tasks incumbent on the presidents of courts as persons performing the tasks of the employer towards the probation officer, related to counteracting the phenomenon of mobbing. It cannot be ruled out that the variety and specificity of tasks entrusted to probation officers, the nature of these tasks and the structure of the location of this group in the structure of the judiciary may cause doubts as to the implementation of tasks related to counteracting mobbing.

Zum diskursiven Bild von Deutschland in der medialen Flüchtlingsdebatte

In 2015–2016, a large number of refugees sought refuge in European countries due to the political situation in the Near East and Africa. A drastic increase in number of refugees caused the issue to polarize citizens across Europe. Germany can be assigned a special position in terms of the number of refugees accepted. With the help of the concept of the discursive picture of the world, the article tries to reconstruct the image of Germany based on the analysis of press articles. Online editions of the magazine “Die Zeit” from 2015 are analyzed for this purpose. The question is how this way of presenting Germany is profiled in the media and how it is linguistically structured in the media-mediated refugee debate.

Periferias europeias: Sebald fala em Tübingen (e uma digressão sobre Pierre Bertaux) | European peripheries: Sebald speechs in Tübingen (and a digression about Pierre Bertaux)

O tema deste artigo é um texto apócrifo de W. G. Sebald, o ensaio "Europäische Peripherien" [Periferias Europeias], baseado em uma palestra proferida em fevereiro de 1992, em Tübingen. Esse ensaio ocupa um lugar especial na obra de Sebald, pois nele o autor se expressa mais resolutamente do que em qualquer outra ocasião sobre questões políticas, no que diz respeito tanto ao processo de unificação europeia quanto aos problemas fundamentais das sociedades ocidentais na transição para o século XXI. A partir de uma leitura mais atenta, chego à conclusão de que esse ensaio, supostamente secundário, revela-se um importante pilar para reconstruir a interpretação profundamente melancólica que Sebald faz da história com base no conceito de uma “história natural da destruição”. Ao mesmo tempo, “Europäische Peripherien” permite reconhecer a importância de Mutation der Menschheit [Mutação da Humanidade], de Pierre Bertaux, como influência fundamental, até então não reconhecida, para o desenvolvimento da obra de Sebald.Palavras-chave: W.G. Sebald. Europa. “História natural da destruição”. Pierre Bertaux. AbstractThis article discusses the essay "Europäische Peripherien", a hitherto overlooked text by W.G. Sebald based on a lecture given in Tübingen in February 1992. The essay occupies a special position in Sebald's oeuvre, as the author positions himself more pronouncedly than anywhere else on political issues, both with regard to the process of European unification and to fundamental challenges of Western societies in the transition to the twenty-first century. In my close reading the supposedly insignificant essay proves to be an important text for a reconstruction of Sebald's deeply melancholic view of history as expressed in the concept of a "natural history of destruction". At the same time, "European Peripheries" allows us to acknowledge the importance of Pierre Bertaux’ Mutation der Menschheit as an undiscovered influence on the development of Sebald's oeuvre.Keywords: W.G.

Die Kriegergräber mit Schwertern des sog. Asiatischen Typs im Mitteldonauraum unter Berücksichtung des Neufundes von Horákov (Mähren, CZ)

The occurrence of foreign, more precisely eastern, cultural elements among local archaeological finds is commonly regarded as a characteristic feature of the cultural-historical development during the Early Migration Period in Central Europe. Such interpretations, which generate many questions and are sometimes accepted with scepticism, have gained some ground, but most of them indisputably demand verification and less strictly defined views. These foreign cultural elements usually represent objects, whose symbolic values made them, part of the new funerary customs connected with changes of social structures during the historical development of barbarian peoples on the Danube. The main attention in this regard is paid to a well-distinguished group of weapon graves, which contained both the so-called eastern weapon types and, on the other hand, clear acculturation traits. Within the group of eastern weapons, which influenced the armament of Danubian warriors, encompassed also various types of double-edged long swords – spathae. A conspicuous type is represented by long swords with relatively narrow blade and a massive iron cross guard, so-called swords of Asian type, which occupy a special position in the Danube region.

Kajian Hadis tentang Hukum Membaca Surat Fatihah bagi Makmum dalam Shalat Jahar

Al-Fatihah is one of the Quranic verses that have a special position. Consequently, it is obligatory to recite it every time they pray. Meanwhile practically, in the jahar prayer, some of the congregations recite the al-Fatihah, but some however rejected. There is an obligation to listen to the imam reciting. This article examines some hadiths of reciting al-Fatihah for the congregation in the jahar prayer and its wisdom. This research uses the approach of hadith studies and Islamic jurisprudence. In collecting data, the takhrij hadith method was used with hadith tracing techniques through the al-Fatihah theme. There are two stages in analyzing the data. First, by using textual and contextual understanding methods in analyzing the dilalah hadith partially. Second, using the method of al-jam’u wa al-taufiq, takhshis, tarjih, maqasid al-shari’ah, and hikmat al-tashri’ in analyzing the hadiths collectively. This study shows that reading the al-Fatihah is obligatory for every congregation except in the jahar prayer for two main reasons. First, imams represent their congregations. Second, the congregations listen to their imams carefully for orderly prayer and appreciate the meaning of the al-Fatihah which implies for the congregation character building. The congregations can remind the imams if they recite incorrecly and so that the entire congregation can recite amen at the right time together.ABSTRAKSurat Al-Fatihah merupakan surat yang memiliki kedudukan istimewa dalam Al-Qur’an, sehingga umat Islam diperintahkan oleh Allah SWT untuk membacanya setiap kali melaksanakan salat. Namun dalam keseharian umat Islam berbeda praktik dalam membaca surat Al-Fatihah ketika menjadi makmum dalam salat jahar. Sebagian mereka ada yang tetap membaca surat Al-Fatihah, sementara sebagian lagi tidak membacanya karena harus menyimak bacaan imam. Permasalahan ini telah melatarbelakangi penulis untuk meneliti hadis-hadis ahkam dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui hukum membaca surat Fatihah bagi makmum dalam salat jahar menurut hadis-hadis ahkam maqbul yang relevan dengan tujuan dan hikmah persyaratan salat itu sendiri. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan ilmu hadis dan usul fikih. Dalam pengumpulan data digunakan metode takhrij hadis dengan teknik penelusuran hadis melalui tema Al-Fatihah. Untuk menganalisis data ditempuh melalui dua tahapan, tahap pertama analisa terhadap dilalah hadis secara parsial dengan menggunakan metode pemahaman tekstual dan konstektual, tahap kedua analisa terhadap hadis secara kolektif dengan menggunakan metode, al-Jam’u Wa al-Taufiq, Takhshis, Tarjih, Maqashid al-Syari’ah dan Hikmah al-Tasyri’. Hasil analisis menyimpulkan bahwa menurut hadis-hadis ahkam bahwa membaca surat Al-Fatihah hukumnya wajib bagi setiap musalli, kecuali bagi makmum dalam salat jahar, karena ada dua alasan pokok yaitu, pertama karena bacaan imam sudah mewakili bacaan makmum, kedua, Karena makmum diwajibkan diam dan mendengar bacaan imam untuk ketertiban salat, untuk menghayati makna agung yang terkandung dalam surat Fatihah yang berimplikasi terhadap pembentukan karakter, untuk dapat menegur imam apabila salah bacaannya dan untuk dapat mengucapkan amin tepat pada waktunya.

LEGAL PERSONALITY OF A HABITUAL PENITENTIARY OFFENDER OF THE REGIME OF SERVING A SENTENCE

В статье рассматриваются проблемы изменения правового статуса осужденного в связи с признанием его злостным пенитенциарным нарушителем. Проводится сравнительно-правовой анализ терминов «отрицательно характеризующийся осужденный» и «злостный пенитенциарный нарушитель». Автором отмечается, что понятие исследуемого субъекта встречается в нормативных актах уголовно-исполнительного характера и актах официального судебного толкования, вместе с тем до сих пор не имеет легального закрепления в виде нормы-дефиниции. В статье раскрываются вопросы возникновения правоспособности, дееспособности и деликтоспособности злостного пенитенциарного нарушителя. Формулируется вывод о том, что в ходе признания осужденного злостным пенитенциарным нарушителем он приобретает специфические признаки, которые определяют его особое положение. В заключение автором предлагается доктринальное определение исследуемого субъекта. The article deals with the problems of changing the legal status of a convicted person in connection with the recognition of him as a habitual penitentiary offender. A comparative legal analysis of the terms «negatively characterized convict» and «habitual penitentiary offender» is carried out. The author notes that the concept of the subject under study is found in normative acts of a penal nature and acts of official judicial interpretation, however, it still does not have legal consolidation in the form of a norm-definition. The article deals with the issues of legal capacity, legal capability and tortious capacity of a habitual penitentiary offender. The conclusion is formulated that in the course of recognition of a convicted person as a habitual penitentiary offender, he acquires specific features that determine his special position. In conclusion, the author offers a doctrinal definition of the subject under study.

Who Is a Native of Sabah? A Legal Analysis

Article 161A of the Federal Constitution provides for the special position of natives of Sabah and Sarawak. Who are the natives of Sabah? There are legal definitions provided in the Federal Constitution, the State Constitution of Sabah and the Sabah Interpretation (Definition of Native) Ordinance 1952. However, each provision provides vague and unclear definitions for the term "native". This vague and inconsistent definition leads to so many problems faced by the natives of Sabah, both in economic and political aspects. Thus, this paper aims to analyse the relevant legal provisions concerning the definition of a native of Sabah and highlight possible solutions to the problems.

The structure of the aluminium-abundant γ-brass-type Al8.6Mn4.4

An aluminium-abundant Al8Mn5/γ-brass-type intermetallic with formula Al8.6Mn4.4, which is isotypic with γ-Al8Cr5 and γ-Al8V5, was discovered by high-temperature sintering of an Al/Mn mixture with initial composition Al2Mn. Structure analysis revealed that one special position (Wyckoff site 18h in space group R\overline{3}m) is shared by Al and Mn, with refined site occupancy factors of 0.7 and 0.3, respectively. The present low-temperature Al8Mn5-type phase crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group R\overline{3}m (No. 166), rather than R3m (No. 160) as previously reported for the same intermetallic characterized by TEM measurements [Zeng et al. (2018). Acta Mater. 153, 364–376].

Crystal structure of hexakis(N,N-dimethylformamide-κO)iron(III) μ-chlorido-bis(trichloridocadmium)

The title compound, [Fe(C3H7NO)6][Cd2Cl7], crystallizes in the trigonal space group R\overline{3} and is assembled from discrete [Fe(DMF)6]3+ cations (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) and [Cd2Cl7]3− anions. In the cation, the iron(III) atom, located on a special position of \overline{3} site symmetry, is coordinated by six oxygen atoms from DMF ligands with all Fe—O distances being equal [2.0072 (16) Å]. A slight distortion of the octahedral environment of the metal comes from the cis O—Fe—O angles deviating from the ideal value of 90° [86.85 (7) and 93.16 (7)°] whilst all the trans angles are strictly 180°. The central Cl atom of the [Cd2Cl7]3− anion is also located on a special position of \overline{3} site symmetry and bridges two corner sharing, tetrahedrally coordinated CdII atoms. The two Cd atoms and the central Cl atom are colinear. The two sets of terminal chloride ligands on either side of the dumbbell-like anion are rotated relative to each other by 30°. In the crystal, the cations and anions, stacked one above the other along the c-axis direction, are held in place principally by electrostatic interactions. There are also C—H...Cl and C—H...O interactions, but these are rather weak. Of the six crystal structures reported to date for ionic salts of [Fe(DMF)6] n+ cations (n = 2, 3), five contain FeII ions. The title compound is the second example of a stable compound containing the [Fe(DMF)6]3+ cation. The existence of both [Fe(DMF)6]2+ and [Fe(DMF)6]3+ cations shows that the DMF ligand coordination sphere can accommodate changes in the charge and spin states of the metal centre.

Homo Philosophicus: Reflections on the Nature and Function of Philosophical Thought

The philosopher is a fundamental mode of existence of the human being, yet it is experienced only by a minority, an elite. Those constitute, among themselves, a subspecies of Homo sapiens that is sometimes dubbed Homo philosophicus. Our goal here is to investigate, in depth, the philosophical foundations of this ontological-anthropological concept. We analyze the concept of the philosopher into three basic components: the thinker, the artist, and the mathematician, arguing that the three fundamentally participate in maintaining the operation of the philosopher machine. The following text can be considered a contribution to metaphilosophy, written as a structured opinion piece, encompassing a series of reflections drawn from the writer’s own experience as a philosopher. The mode of the presentation is a mixture of personal and experimental writing styles, intentionally avoiding the rigid form of overtly analytical and argumentative discussions. Although numerous philosophers will be discussed below, four key figures, Nietzsche, Russell, Heidegger, and Guattari, occupy a special position in our overall opinionated view on the nature of philosophy.
