The appearance of COVID-19 as a pandemic has shocked the whole world recently since the ending part of 2019. Although different views are found available from different religious viewpoints, the subject has attracted the whole world with the exercise of communal dialogue in India particularly when some cases have been reported to be found in the participants of Tablighi Jamaat (an unorganized Islamic reform movement) gathered at Nizamuddin Markaz (center) in Delhi. Whatever may be the purpose of those communal talks amongst people trying to make either the conservative Muslims responsible or the government administration concerned, it is the duty of a Muslim to make it clear in front of the world the views concerning pandemic based on the hadiths. The hadiths are the collection of Islamic traditions that contain the sayings, advice, or instructions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The paper is an effort to present the stand of Islam on pandemic and infectious diseases and how a Muslim should react to a COVID-19 like circumstances.

Puja Tri Sandhya is Hindus prayer known in all countries. The original prayer came in Sanskrit language, but every Hindus believer already translate the prayer into their native language. In 1950, Balinese Hindus used Puja Tri Sandhya to get the recognition from the government allowing Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia (PHDI)—the major reform movement and Hindus organization in Indonesia—to translate Puja Tri Sandhya into Indonesian. This translation aimed to make every Hindus believer in Indonesia knows about the meaning of the mantras. Besides Indonesian, Puja Tri Sandhya is also translated into the universal language that 20 percent of the world spoke, English. English is believed to give the best medium to other people who want to learn more about Hindus or simply just curious. As a reminder, in this paper Indonesian will be the source language (SL) and English will be the result of the translation so we shall call it target language (TL). In translation, equivalency will be the point to show if the translation is well translated or not. In their book The Theory and Practice of Translation (1959), Nida and Taber state two kinds of equivalency that the translator can use as their reference they are: formal and dynamic equivalence. Here, Puja Tri Sandhya in Indonesian and English versions will be analyzed using 2 kinds of equivalences by Nida and Taber.

Purpose of the study: The aim of this study was to relate the political economy and its impact on trade and development of economy. One of the currently witnessed changes that strike out the most from previous years is the relatedness of each political economy aspect of the world. The dimension of economy can be found in different problems throughout the world and economy has become the most prioritized aspect in the 21st century. Methodology: The data for this study were obtained from existing literatures on political economy and trade as well. The methodology heavily relied on the existing previous literatures on the subject being dealt with. Results: The findings indicated that the government could decide to intervene in markets with the intention of limiting import or maximizing export. Trade barriers might be applied for the intention of limiting imports such as tariffs, import quotas, native gratified necessities, directorial strategies, and anti-dumping policies. Implications: Protectionist policies are being implemented by country by the means of protecting the local market from international market that might risk the industries inside the nation and might resulted in the depletion of the nation’s sovereignty rate. Protectionist policy can be considered as a barrier towards trade but is essential for the long run local industry.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the ideological basis of concepts that underpinned the establishment of the Codification Commission by virtue of the Act of 3 June 1919 and to assess its position within the system of authorities of the Second Republic of Poland. The author has found that the issues around shaping the relations of the Codification Commission with the Government and the Sejm have been covered in literature of the subject in a one-sided manner. Authors who have devoted their attention to the issue of autonomy of the Codification Commission formulated their evaluations based on the interpretation of the regulations in the drafts of the Act that established the Commission, as well as on their subsequent application that enabled the restriction of this autonomy. They did not, however, sufficiently account for the ideological declarations, thus in fact rejecting the deputies’ assertions of their striving to ensure “complete autonomy and self-sufficiency” of the Codification Commission, and the Government’s affirmations that it did not aim to “subject” the Commission to its control. Meanwhile, the author’s intention is to show that there was a widespread consensus at the time, especially at the Sejm, which sovereignly decided on the wording of the Act on the Codification Commission, that deputies had adopted a law that sufficiently protected the autonomous status of the Commission and its apolitical nature.

Introduction. The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy is difficult to assess fully, but the changes that are taking place in various industries and business areas can not be ignored. One of the most affected sectors of the economy is the service sector. The decline trend in this area is traced from the beginning of quarantine restrictions mainly in all countries of the world. Ukraine is not an exception. Obviously, the service sector needs to be adapted to a distance form of work, but, of course, each scope of economic activity has undergone irreversible changes. Therefore, the object of research is the scope of services of Ukraine, and the subject – trends, problems and prospects for transforming the sphere of services of Ukraine as a result of the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to find new creative and innovative solutions for the transition of services in distance working in order to minimize losses during and after quarantine restrictions. Method (methodology). To study this topic, both theoretical and practical research methods were used. In particular, in the first stage, the method has been used to collect information on periodicals and other reliable sources.

Background: An infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus called COVID-19 has raged across the world since December 2019. The novel coronavirus first appeared in Wuhan, China, and quickly spread to Asia and now many countries around the world are affected by the epidemic. The deaths of many patients, including medical staff, caused social panic, media attention, and high attention from governments and world organizations. Today, with the joint efforts of the government, the doctors and all walks of life, the epidemic in Hubei Province has been brought under control, preventing its spread from affecting the lives of the people. Because of its rapid spread and serious consequences, this sudden novel coronary pneumonia epidemic has become an important social hot spot event. Through the analysis of the novel coronary pneumonia epidemic situation, we can also have a better understanding of sudden infectious diseases in the future, so that we can take more effective response measures, establish a truly predictable and provide reliable and sufficient information for prevention and control model. Methods: We establish different models according to the different developments of the epidemic situation, different time points, and different response measures taken by the government. To be specific, during the period of 2020.1.23-2020.2.7, the traditional SIR model is adopted; during the period of 2020.2.8-2020.3.30, according to the scientific research results, it was considered that the novel coronary pneumonia has a latent period, so in the later phase of epidemic development, the government has effectively isolated patients, thus we adopt the SEIQR model accordingly. During the period of 2020.3.31-2020.5.16, because more asymptomatic infected people were found, we use the SEIQLR model to fit. Finally, through a SEIR simulator, considering the susceptible number, the latent number, the infected number, the cured number, death number and other factors, we simulate the change of various numbers of people from the beginning to the next 180 days of novel coronary pneumonia. Findings: The results based on the analysis of differential equations and kinetic models show that through the prediction of the model established in the first phase, the epidemic situation of novel coronary pneumonia in Hubei Province was controlled at the end of March, which is in line with the actual situation. The rest of Hubei province, except for Wuhan, lifted control of the departure channel from 0:00 am on March 25, and Wuhan was also unblocked on April 8. Through the establishment of the second-phase model, it is found that the epidemic situation will reach its peak in mid-February. For example, the quarantine admission of the hospital declined after mid-February, which is inseparable from the measures to build square cabin hospitals in early February so that more and more patients can be admitted. The model established in the third phase shows that the epidemic had been completely controlled by the end of May, which is also in line with the reality. Because in mid-May, the Wuhan government conducted a nucleic acid test on all the citizens to screen for asymptomatic infected persons to fundamentally control the spread of novel coronary pneumonia. Interpretation: Hubei Province, as the center of the initial outbreak of novel coronary pneumonia, people were forced to be isolated at home during the Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday, and the whole society was in a state of suspension of work and study. The Chinese government had taken many measures in response to the epidemic, such as shutting down the city, vigorously building square cabin hospitals, and prohibiting people from gathering. At the beginning of May this year, the epidemic in Hubei Province was finally effectively controlled. For ordinary citizens, we should not cause unnecessary panic about the unknown novel coronavirus. Instead, we should fully understand and be familiar with this virus. In addition to the relevant medical knowledge, we should also understand the spread of infectious diseases through appropriate mathematical models. By mathematical models, we can understand the degree of harm of infectious diseases, when to control it, how to stop it, and use scientific views to reveal the original face of the novel coronavirus to the public without causing social panic.

A law with a concept on the omnibus law in the world of law in the State of Indonesia is a new perspective in the field of law. The point in omnibus law is different from the meaning, nature, and concept of legal norms in existing laws. We can also interpret this concept as a way of settling the forms of regulation in legislation into law and which in the end have consequences for revoking some invalid regulations. With the use of a new perspective like this, of course, people's thinking is also increasingly modern, including following the flow of globalization. In this era of globalization, there are certainly many incidents in the spread of hoax news. This problem is carried out by qualitative research methods and using several theories. The subject matter to be discussed can also be found in the conclusion that the perspective used by the drafters of the law is increasingly modern which will also provide the potential for the spread of hoaxes from people who follow the flow of globalization. Therefore, if the government and the DPR enforce themselves in making laws with the concept of the omnibus law, then the formation process needs to follow the method of prolegnas, has a good academic script, and is not in a hurry by involving stakeholders and the community.

Political corruption as a social phenomenon exists in virtually all countries of the world, including those that most researchers consider as “benchmarks” in terms of the development of democracy. At the same time, there is a steady tendency towards the growth of political corruption and the evolution of corruption practices in developed democratic countries. Problems of political corruption in the professional literature are given a lot of attention but the issues related to the peculiarities of the experience of fighting political corruption in the EU in the context of the introduction of appropriate practices in Ukraine remain insufficiently researched. In the context of reforming the modern Ukrainian society, the study of problems of preventing and counteracting corruption is extremely relevant for a number of reasons: firstly, corrupt practices in the government machinery are the main obstacle to the implementation of any reforms; secondly, the high level of corruption in society, as evidenced by the results of the World CPI Corruption Perception Index 2015, decreases public confidence in the government; thirdly, it is necessary to implement the anti-corruption recommendations of the Action Plan on Visa Liberalization from the European Union (EU); fourthly, the reduction of corruption would contribute to attracting international investment, and so on. The purpose of the article is to identify features of counteraction to corruption in the countries of the European Union and to analyse the formation of government administration as the main precondition for narrowing the corruption space. To achieve this purpose, the following goals were set: to determine the level of implementation of international anti-corruption standards in the government practice of Ukraine; to investigate the formation and development of anti-corruption institutions; to analyse the experience of anti-corruption institutions in the EU; to investigate the formation of informational transparency of government space; to analyse the ratings of Ukraine regarding data openness; to find out the features of E-Declaration models as an element of public control of anti-corruption institutions in the system of public administration. Reaffirming its European aspirations, during 2001–2018, Ukraine ratified several laws in relation to the formation of anti-corruption standards: a) general and on liability for corruption offenses and offenses related to corruption; b) documents on the activities of specialized agencies for fighting corruption; c) documents on ethical rules, anti-corruption restrictions and prohibitions for certain officials and on the prevention of political corruption; d) documents on the prevention of corruption in the economy and sports; e) documents on access to information. This allows asserting that in general the legislative framework for the prevention of corruption in Ukraine has already been established. Despite the adoption of many laws, out of 200 anti-corruption measures, which, according to the State Program for the implementation of the Anticorruption Strategy, had to be implemented by state bodies by the end of 2018, about 35% had not been implemented. Anticorruption strategy for 2019 and subsequent years and the State Program for its implementation do not exist. Many important anti-corruption laws, which would help to further improve the Ukrainian economy, finance, the system of social protection of the population, and so on, were not adopted. Many of the problems that prevent effective use of the data obtained still need to be resolved. It is also necessary to find solutions for defining the electronic declaration of anti-corruption crusaders.

O presente artigo tem como objeto o fenômeno da fome e suas repercussões sociais segundo o pensamento do maior estudioso brasileiro do assunto, Josué de Castro. O estudo da fome na produção intelectual do escritor é tomado, neste trabalho, como resultado de um confronto entre suas experiências pessoais e a realidade histórica da época. Detemo-nos diretamente no período correspondente ao desenvolvimentismo no Brasil, quando foi priorizado o investimento na indústria como principal atividade econômica para seu desenvolvimento, deixando, o governo, as atividades agro-rurais em segundo plano. As transformações pelas quais passou o Brasil naquele período histórico formaram o cenário para perpetuar a fome aqui e nos demais países em via de desenvolvimento. Abstract: This review is about the phenomenon of hunger and its social repercussions, thought of as the greatest Brazilian expert on the subject, Josué de Castro. The study of hunger in the intellectual production of the writer is taken, in this work, as a result of a confrontation between their personal experiences and the historical reality of the time. We will cover, directly, the period that corresponds to developmentalism in Brazil, when it was prioritized investment in the industry, as the main economic activity for their development, leaving, in background, the government and the agro-rural activities. The transformations which passed Brazil, in that historical period, formed the scenario to perpetuate the hunger, here and in others developing countries of the world.
