International Economic Relations as a Risk: The EU’s Economic Security Strategy and the World Trading System
Authors: Hahn Michael , Reinhold Philipp
Published: January 2025

Rules-based trade is increasingly affected by the growing influence of geopolitical considerations in international economic relations. In claiming (open) strategic autonomy, the European Union (EU) commits to continue seeking multilateral solutions whenever possible, but expresses the will to pursue unilateral paths where necessary. While this policy and its underlying claims have not yet been tested in earnest, there will be ample room for that in 2025, for a variety of reasons. In this context, the new EU economic security strategy represents a multi-facetted initiative for dealing with risks and vulnerabilities stemming from strong economic interdependence. The three stands of this strategy (1) ‘promotion’, (2) ‘protection’ and (3) ‘partnering’ may entail measures that could well conflict with WTO rules which are (still) based on the post-war idea of economic interdependence and embedded liberalism. However, WTO law offers different ways to justify measures taken for geopolitical reasons. In addition to the choosing of not undisputed interpretation of some key justifications (such as Articles XX and XXI GATT 1994), the design and reasoning of each individual economic security measure will be particularly important in order to make ‘de-risking’ meet the standard of Article XVI:4 WTOAgreement.
Source Code Provisions and Evolving Exceptions in Economic Agreements
Authors: Hsu Locknie
Published: January 2025

This article examines the objectives and constraints of treaty provisions relating to source code disclosure requirements in recent treaties such as free trade agreements (FTAs) and Digital Economy Partnership Agreements. It examines such provisions and in particular, their evolving exceptions, against the tide of technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), such as those in Generative AI, as regulators grapple with both the regulation and promotion of such technologies. It raises some key considerations for the negotiation of future provisions and associated exceptions for trade negotiators and legal advisers.
What Can the UN Do That the OECD Can’t or Won’t?
Authors: Brauner Yariv
Published: January 2025

The recent United Nations (UN) tax initiative was heavily criticized by certain developed states both during the discussions at the UN and following it. This criticism was based on the argument that the initiative would interfere with the alleged progress made by the OECD and its so-called inclusive framework. Other forms of the same argument were that the UN work would be a mere duplication of the OECD work and that the UNs do not have the expertise, experience, and resources of the OECD, which had served as the caretaker of the regime in the past sixty years or so. This article responds to this critique of the initiative with ten examples of desirable reforms needed by the international tax regime, reforms that the UNs is better equipped, and hopefully more willing than the OECD to implement.
Opening Perspective: The Coloured Light of Double Stars*: The Rise and Partnership Potential of Multilateral Tax Diplomacy
Authors: Lennard Michael
Published: January 2025

This note argues that the current calls for more inclusive, effective and legitimate multilateral forums for determining international tax norms, principally from the developing world, and epitomized in UN General Assembly Resolution 78/230 on Promotion of inclusive and effective international tax cooperation at the United Nations (Resolution adopted on 22 December 2023, https://financing.desa.un.org/sites/default/ files/2024-01/A.RES_.78.230_English.pdf), represent a challenging but welcome development. This development, as well as multilateral developments at the OECD, will increasingly demand the blending of tax and diplomatic skills in the rooms where tax multilateralism will happen.The need to consider taxation in its broader context of the need to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) both enriches and complicates such multilateral efforts. An equal partnership of tax and diplomatic skills and understandings will give tax multilateralism the best chances of long-term success, including by understanding and drawing on relevant learnings from the experience of trade, investment, environmental and other linked but differently formed worlds.The note examines specific features of successful diplomacy and their possible relevance to the multilateral tax endeavour. The countries that best and most creatively manage such efforts will most effectively meet their national needs within a system aspiring for a higher, more collective, and more permanent, improvement in international tax cooperation mechanisms and outcomes. A readjustment period that appears to some to presage uncertainty and instability may, if properly handled, yield just the opposite.
From Africa to the World: Pathways to Inclusivity and Political Justice at the UN
Authors: Titus Afton
Published: January 2025

The international tax landscape has long been skewed against developing countries, with policies often crafted without considering their specific needs. Recent movements at the United Nations (UN) signal a potential shift towards more equitable tax governance. This paper contends that while the recent tax developments at the UN are a step forward, expecting the UN to radically transform the international tax regime may be overly optimistic. Instead, a more practical approach would involve the UN serving as a global coordinator of regional international tax fora. Starting with how such an international tax forum may be created in Africa and how it may interface with a possible UN tax body, this paper argues that it is time for regions to be more proactive in creating the change they want to see. This proposal not only brings about political justice and inclusivity in international tax governance, but also empowers regions to tailor solutions that meet their unique challenges and opportunities. More importantly, the formation of regional fora may be effective in bringing about change to the international tax regime even if no international tax body is ultimately formed at the UN.
Policy Note: Australian Tax Treaty Policy: The Dilemma of a Wealthy Capital-Importing Nation
Authors: Sadiq Kerrie , Krever Richard , Li Na
Published: January 2025

Australia’s unique combination of economic and political attributes has clearly had an impact on its tax treaty policy. The country has been an OECD member for over half a century and has consistently supported OECD-promoted policies. It is, at the same time, relatively sparsely populated when viewed in terms of its physical size and abundance of natural resources, leaving it reliant on foreign capital for a significant portion of its resource exploitation enterprises. It is simultaneously both a capital exporter in terms of passive portfolio investment and a very serious capital importer in terms of direct non-portfolio active investment. The country’s tax treaty policy reflects the dichotomous policy interests, with early adoption of the United Nations (UN) Model policies on taxing rights over gains from the disposal of indirect interests in immovable property. At the same time, it veers towards OECD norms in terms of passive investment income. Particularly striking is its treatment of direct non-portfolio active investment where it has used a combination of more generous features from the OECD and UN Model treaties on top of generous domestic law exemptions to create a very favourable regime for remittances of profits from active subsidiaries in Australia.
Building and Strengthening Communities Through Culturally Responsive Inter-Agency Collaboration in Southern New Jersey
Authors: Villacis Carla , Ross Samuel
Published: January 2025

Organizations working with immigrant families navigate circumstances related to families’ cultural background, personal resources, and social connections by engaging in culturally responsive practices. Immigrant families experience linguistic, cultural, and policy challenges in search for resources available to them in the United States, often through minimal social connections (Furman et al., 2009; Suárez-Orozco et al., 2012). Inter-agency collaborations help immigrant families navigate these barriers (Vanek et al., 2020) by coordinating programming and case management to streamline the support available to families. This study documents the challenges and social-delivery practices that immigrant Hispanic families and agency collaborators must navigate in the Southern New Jersey region. Through interviews with 15 agency staff members and 21 Hispanic immigrant families these agencies served, researchers gathered insights into service providers’ reflections on their work and families’ perspectives on the assistance they received. Family caregivers spoke candidly about their struggles to find employment, childcare, and other services in Spanish, learn English, and balance family obligations in the U.S. and in their home countries. In turn, agency staff shared their experiences with prejudice from locals towards immigrants, on leveraging formal and informal resources to assist their families, and on identifying funding sources that do not require their clients’ immigration status. Interviews also revealed that participants’ ability to rely on each other as families, providers, and communities bolstered a sense of support and community engagement.
The Undocumented Experience
Authors: Tahir Izah
Published: January 2025

Artist Statement
As the child of Pakistani immigrants, there was one thing I knew well. My parents had left the culture they knew, a language they understood, and family they loved, and all of it was so I could now reap the benefits of living in America. To convey this idea in my drawing, I split the page into two halves, each representing a different country. The left side depicts an immigrant father, exhausted from working into the night. The right side depicts his son, still in their home country. In the middle, there is a barrier representing the distance between the father and his family. Through a small gap in the barrier, the father is able to send things his family needs at home, such as shoes for his son. Both father and son are alone in starkly different environments, showing how confusing a new country can be and how isolating the undocumented immigration experience can be for both the immigrant and their loved ones.
Epilogue
When I was 16, I wrote about the immigrant experience as my mother’s experience. I thought of her sleeping on the floor after buying matching twin beds for my brother and me, and this translated into the father in my drawing sending shoes to his son. However, in the years since, I realized I had a unique experience as well. I may not have moved to another country, but I attended school with a different skin color, different clothes, and different food from everyone else. In fact, I was so shocked, I didn’t speak a word for the first month of kindergarten. My teacher (falsely) concluded I couldn’t speak English, and she told my mother I was going to fail.
Years later, I was a model student. I had good grades, I participated in clubs, I volunteered at a nursing home. Yet, somehow, I was always two steps behind. I didn’t have anyone to help me with college applications, and my parents didn’t have any connections when I needed a job. In fact, I was the one editing their résumés. Like many students in this situation, I worked until I burnt myself out, and then I worked some more.
Now, at age 24, I am finally learning to give myself a break. However, the first-generation experience wasn’t all bad. I love wearing Pakistani dresses, and I couldn’t imagine eating anything but Pakistani food for dinner each night. When I couldn’t buy something as a child, I learned how to make it, and this shaped me into the artist I am today. When I wanted to learn Spanish, I had an easier time than many of my classmates since I already knew Urdu and Punjabi. I continued using those language skills working as a teacher in the Dominican Republic and, later, at a majority-Latino high school in Providence. I could relate to a lot of the students’ experiences as immigrants or children of immigrants, and I plan to become an educator to work with such students again in the future. I hope I can help them overcome the setbacks they have endured and discover the advantages they have, just as I did.
Engaging with Refuge or Refusal to Assess the Impact of an Immigration History Exhibition
Authors: Langer Adina
Published: January 2025

Public historians work in their communities to bridge the past and the present and help people make sense of the world in which they find themselves so that they can make better decisions about actions that will affect their future. This article assesses the impact of Refuge or Refusal, a museum exhibition created in 2018 to teach the public about U.S. immigration history. Building on findings about communicating history to the American public reported by the American Association for State and Local History, this article establishes the value of museum-based public history for sparking conversations, raising questions, and initiating a search for answers. After engaging with Refuge or Refusal, community members were empowered to think critically about the future they would inevitably help to create.

A comparative study of mappings in metric space and controlled metric space
Authors: Soni Bhawna , Tenguria Abha
Published: January 2025

The objective of this paper is to present a comparative study of mapping in Metric Space and Controlled Metric Space. The study provides the structure, gap analysis and application of Metric Space and Controlled Metric Space. A Comparative Study of Mappings in Metric Space and in Controlled Metric Space is done with the help of studying the concept of metric space, its various types of mappings. Following this, a further conceptualization of Controlled Metric Space with its various types of mappings and its applications is done. A Controlled Metric Space is a specialized concept in Mathematics that is used to deal with issues related to the "control" of distances and the behavior of sequences or functions within a metric space. And finally we compare various mappings in metric space with various mappings in controlled metric spaces. In this way we find comparative results of various types of mappings. Thus the paper focuses on comparative study between metric spaces along its properties with controlled metric space and its properties.

AI-Powered Customer Support Automation: Transforming Ticket Creation and Management.
Authors:   Presidency University, Bengaluru, India, Travadi Mohammad
Published: January 2025

The increasing frequency of customer inquiries and complaints in the digital era has put a strain on traditional support systems, resulting in inefficiencies and delayed responses. This paper describes an artificial intelligence- driven ticket automation system that uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to accelerate ticket production, classification, and resolution. Using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the system automates operations, increases response accuracy, and interacts smoothly with current support structures. The methodology entails preparing client queries for ticket classification, prioritizing, and multilingual translation, with Large Language Models (LLMs) fine-tuned for typical support scenarios. The system also accepts unsupervised queries and uses parallel processing to manage numerous tickets simultaneously, increasing throughput.

Evaluation indicators, such as efficiency gains (targeted at 10%) and response accuracy, demonstrate the system's real- world usefulness. The key findings reveal that manual classification errors are eliminated, and complicated or multilingual requests receive faster responses. However, issues remain in addressing ambiguous inquiries and maintaining broad AI compatibility, indicating areas for future improvement. Ongoing work will strengthen categorization algorithms, broaden industry support, and incorporate advanced sentiment analysis to improve issue priority.

Key Words: customer support, ticket automation, natural language processing, ai integration, multilingual support, workflow optimization.

Authors:   Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Laxmi Devi Institute of Engineering and Technology  Alwar-Tijara-Delhi, Highway, Chikani, Rajasthan, India, Kumari Rakhi
Published: January 2025

The growing number of people affected by diabetes and its complications calls for new ways to detect, manage, and treat the condition early. This paper presents a machine learning-based framework designed to predict and classify Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 diabetes with improved accuracy while addressing key gaps in current research. The framework combines data types, such as clinical records, demographic details, and biosignal data from wearable devices, to ensure a comprehensive and reliable approach. It also uses advanced data processing methods like feature selection, dimensionality reduction, and handling imbalanced datasets to improve model performance.

The paper explores machine learning to highlight the importance of real-time monitoring, tracking data over time, and creating personalized risk assessments, especially for pregnant women. Additionally, it addresses practical challenges like making the models scalable, considering ethical issues, and integrating socioeconomic and biosignal data. Evaluation metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score may ensure the model's reliability and effectiveness.

This paper shows how machine learning can revolutionize diabetes care by providing early warnings, reducing complications, and offering actionable insights for better management. By combining advanced algorithms with real-world usability, the proposed framework bridges the gap between research and practical healthcare, offering a scalable solution for improved diabetes management.

HEPATOPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF MINT AGAINST HEPATOTOXICITY, INDUCED BY CHLOROQUINE, IN MALE ALBINO MICE: RCT
Authors: Khalid Sumbal , Fazal Ayesha , Kanwal Shumaela
Published: January 2025

Background: Many drugs have been associated with hepatotoxicity worldwide. This hepatotoxicity occurs due to oxidative stress generated by those drugs. Hence, different plants, which have antioxidant effects, can be used to prevent hepatotoxicity. The objective was to find out the hepatoprotective effect of mint, against chloroquine induced hepatotoxicity, due to its antioxidant potential. Methods: For that randomized controlled trial study, ninety male albino mice were obtained and were divided randomly into three groups, with each group containing 30 mice. Group A was the control group. So, no intervention was done on mice of Group A. Group B and C were the experimental groups. Group B mice were given chloroquine only. The mice of Group C were given both chloroquine and mint extract. The single oral dose of chloroquine, 970 mg/ kg of body weight, was given to the mice of group B, on the 9th day of the experiment. The ethanolic extract of mint, at the dose of 1 gm/kg, was given consecutively from day 1 to day 8 of the experiment to Group C mice. Then chloroquine (970 mg/kg of the body weight) was given on nineth day to Group C. The ethanolic extract was then continuously given from day 10 to day 16 of the experiment, followed by chloroquine administration, to those mice. The blood samples were collected on 17th day by terminal intracardiac sampling technique. Data analysis was done by SPSS version 20. Results: Group B mice showed highly significant rise in serum ALP and significant decrease in serum albumin, as compared to those of group A. Serum AST and ALT, however, raised insignificantly. Hence, mild hepatotoxicity was induced in group B mice. On the other hand, malondialdehyde, was found to be highly significantly raised in group B mice. While, serum glutathione peroxidase was found to be declined highly significantly in group B mice, which showed oxidative stress induction. The mice of group C showed highly significant decrease in serum ALP and significant decline in serum AST. They showed significant raise in serum albumin. Serum malondialdehyde, however, declined highly significantly and serum glutathione peroxidase raised highly significantly in group C. These results in group C occur due to antioxidant action of mint. Conclusion: Mint revealed hepatoprotective effect due to its antioxidant potential, against chloroquine induced mild hepatotoxicity.
"brulion" na granicy. Krakowskie czasopismo a inne wydawnictwa niezależne
Authors: Suliga Jakub
Published: January 2025

Niezależnie od tego, jak oceniamy wartość intelektualno-artystyczną „brulionu”, to jego duża popularność jest faktem, który skłania do podjęcia nad nim badań. Samo przyporządkowanie pisma do właściwego obiegu wydawniczego lat 80. XX wieku jest kwestią sporną, co udowadnia, że „brulion” wyróżniał się pośród pozostałych czasopism. Słusznym wydaje się odczytywanie go właśnie w takiej, szerokiej perspektywie. Analiza porównawcza „brulionu” z innymi czasopismami ukazującymi się nielegalnie w końcowej dobie PRL-u pozwoli zweryfikować jego oryginalność oraz sprecyzować, jakie miejsce zajmuje na mapie nielegalnych wydawnictw lat 80.
Revis(it)ing Citizen Journalism: Case Studies from (Soviet) Russia
Authors: Rogatchevski Andrei
Published: January 2025

Dziennikarstwo obywatelskie zazwyczaj kojarzy się z umiejętnością obsługi komputera i wolnością słowa. Czy ten rodzaj dziennikarstwa uprawiany jest w krajach półpiśmiennych i/lub pod (pół)represyjnymi reżimami? Jeśli tak, to w jaki sposób (jeśli w ogóle) wpływa to na standardową definicję dziennikarstwa obywatelskiego J. Rosena (“gdy osoby wcześniej znane jako publiczność wykorzystują narzędzia prasowe, które mają do swojej dyspozycji, aby informować siebie nawzajem”)? Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na te pytania, analizując trzy przykłady, zarówno pro-, jak i antykremlowskie, z (post)sowieckiej Rosji: tzw. rabsel'kory z lat 20. i 30. XX wieku, podziemny biuletyn dysydencki „Khronika tekushchikh sobytii” z końca lat 60. i początku lat 80. XX wieku oraz działalność blogową Aleksieja Nawalnego z końca lat 2000. i początku lat 2020.

Przekazywanie informacji o samobójstwie w przestrzeni publicznej. Analiza na wybranych przykładach
Authors: Bluszcz Diana
Published: January 2025

Samobójstwo stanowi obecnie problem ogólnoświatowy. Na całym świecie rocznie ponad 703 000 osób odbiera sobie życie. W Polsce w wyniku samobójczej śmierci ginie więcej osób niż w wypadkach drogowych. Samobójstwo nie jest więc zjawiskiem, które można ignorować, wręcz przeciwnie – należy podejmować działania, by mu przeciwdziałać. Istotną rolę w kształtowaniu społecznej percepcji samobójstwa odgrywają media. Z jednej strony, nieodpowiedzialne doniesienia medialne mogą prowadzić do naśladownictwa samobójstw (efekt Wertera), z drugiej zaś – mogą promować konstruktywne sposoby radzenia sobie z kryzysem (efekt Papageno). Celem badań omówionych w tym artykule było zweryfikowanie zgodności doniesień prasowych opisujących samobójstwa w centrach handlowych w 2021 roku z wytycznymi Ministerstwa Zdrowia dotyczącymi informowania o samobójstwach. W analizie materiału badawczego skupiono się na sposobie przedstawienia informacji, użytym słownictwie oraz obecności informacji o dostępnej pomocy. Wyniki analizy pozwolą ocenić, w jakim stopniu media przyczyniają się do zapobiegania lub nasilania zjawiska samobójstw.
"3 under 30". Social media communication among the youngest Polish MPs
Authors: Cheba Patrycja , Gloc Roksana
Published: January 2025

Only three MPs under the age of 30 were elected in the 2023 general election. The aim of this article is to present the process of communication via social media of the three youngest MPs of the 10th term of the Polish Sejm, : Adam Gomoła (Poland 2050 Szymon Hołownia), Michał Moskal (Law and Justice) and Aleksandra Wiśniewska (Civic Coalition). The study focuses on posts published by young politicians on the social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube. The methodological approach employs both quantitative and qualitative content analysis of posts shared in October 2023. This timeframe allows us to examine communication in two distinct roles: as candidates and as newly-elected MPs. By applying the same categorisation key to each profile, it was possible to benchmark social media communication. Furthermore, the politicians under investigation represent a diverse array of political groupings, which adds depth to the analysis.
Wyzwanie TikToka. Performatywny wymiar współczesnych mediów audiowizualnych
Authors: Juda Łukasz
Published: January 2025

W artykule zaproponowano analizę aplikacji TikTok przez pryzmat teorii performatyki, ze szczególnym uwzględnie-niem ogólnej teorii performansu autorstwa Jona McKenziego. Aplikacja TikTok została przedstawiona jako złożony przedmiot badań, który konstytuuje się w ramach dynamicznych i wieloaspektowych relacji między trzema kluczo-wymi grupami aktorów: użytkownikami, technologiami i organizacjami. Autor przyporządkowuje te grupy do para-dygmatów performatyki zaproponowanych przez McKenziego. Wskazuje, że poszczególni aktorzy muszą jednocze-śnie działać w ramach różnych paradygmatów, mierząc się ze specyficznymi dla nich wyzwaniami: technologicznej sprawności, organizacyjnej wydajności i kulturowej skuteczności. Analizując konkretne przykłady, autor pokazuje, że technologie, organizacje i użytkownicy są wzajemnie powiązani, a ich działania współzależne, co tworzy złożoną sieć relacji, w której granice między poszczególnymi paradygmatami zacierają się. Płynie stąd wniosek, że pełna analiza współczesnych mediów społecznościowych wymaga uwzględnienia wszystkich tych elementów. W drugiej części artykułu autor analizuje cyrkulujące w aplikacji trendy, ujmując je jako dyskursywne idee, które wzywają do przyjmowania wobec nich postaw przekładających się na konkretne działania. Analizowane przykłady, takie jak popularny taniec z serialu „Wednesday” czy trend #gentleminions, ukazują, jak TikTok nie tylko kształtuje treści wewnątrz swojej platformy, ale także wpływa na szersze konteksty kulturowe. Trendy te bowiem wykraczają dalece poza ramy samej aplikacji, angażując coraz większą i bardziej zróżnicowaną grupę aktorów, którzy nie mogą pozostawać wobec nich obojętni.
Metoda (digital) storytelling w dydaktyce języka niemieckiego a rozwój sprawności receptywnych uczniów klas początkowych
Authors: Michalik Justyna
Published: January 2025

Artykuł analizuje wpływ metody storytellingu na rozwój umiejętności receptywnych i zapamiętywania informacji u uczniów klas młodszych w kontekście ich specyficznych uwarunkowań psychorozwojowych. Wykorzystano wyniki badań empirycznych Jolanty Gładysz, Jana Iluka i Mariusza Jakosza do opisu korzyści płynących z zastosowania tej metody w nauczaniu języka niemieckiego wśród uczniów klas początkowych. Następnie wyjaśniono pojęcie digital storytellingu, omówiono zastosowanie narzędzi ICT w odniesieniu do pokolenia Alpha i przykłady literatury udostępnianej w formie cyfrowej. Artykuł został osadzony w paradygmacie humanistyczno-konstruktywistycznym, a jego założenia teoretyczne zostały oparte na teoriach przyswajania i uczenia się języka obcego (hipoteza inputu, interjęzyka). Zamyka go konkluzja, że zastosowanie metody storytellingu w procesie dydaktycznym zapewnia długotrwałość efektów nauczania, natomiast zastosowanie digital storytellingu w nauczaniu wpiera rozwój edukacji literackiej, językowej oraz medialnej. Wskazano również obszary wymagające dalszych badań nad zastosowaniem obu tych metod w nauczaniu języka niemieckiego jako obcego.
Gramatyczna kategoria liczby w greckim podręczniku Techne grammatike (Τέχνη γραμματική) przypisywanym Dionizjuszowi Trakowi
Authors: Stanisław Wolanin Hubert
Published: January 2025

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie sposobu, w jaki ujęta i opisana została gramatyczna kategoria liczby w przypisywanym Dionizjuszowi Trakowi podręczniku pt. Techne grammatike, który w starożytności nadał greckiej nauce o wyrazie kanoniczną postać i wywarł ogromny wpływ na rozwój europejskiej gramatyki w okresie średniowiecza i czasach nowożytnych. Podstawowym materiałem źródłowym jest referencyjna edycja oryginalnego tekstu utworu, opracowana przez G. Uhliga w ramach serii Grammatici Graeci (Teubner, Lipsiae). Uwzględnione zostały także wydane przez A. Hilgarda w ramach tej samej serii scholia (bizantyjskie komentarze) do Techne. Przeprowadzone analizy pozwoliły wyszczególnić wszystkie części mowy, którym przypisana została kategoria liczby, określić status, jaki został jej nadany w odniesieniu do poszczególnych klas wyrazów, ustalić wiązaną z tą kategorią i jej wartościami charakterystykę funkcjonalną, a także przedstawić sposób, w jaki ukazano zakłócone relacje między znaczeniem gramatycznym implikowanym przez postać formalną określonych wyrazów a liczbowym aspektem ich semantyki leksykalnej (cf. collectiva). Przedmiotem uwagi stał się też aparat pojęciowo-terminologiczny użyty w podręczniku dla charakterystyki kategorii liczby, jak również zapisy, które wzbudziły zastrzeżenia wśród bizantyjskich komentatorów. The aim of the paper is to present how grammatical number was viewed and described in the Tekhne grammatike attributed to Dionysius Thrax, i.e. in the classic textbook that shaped Greek teaching of the grammatical features of a word and that exerted a great influence on the development of European grammar in the Middle Ages and in modern times. The main source texts were the G. Uhlig edition of the original work, which was part of the monumental book series Grammatici Graeci (Teubner, Lipsiae), and the scholia, i.e. the Byzantine commentaries to the Tekhne, edited by A. Hilgard in the same book series. An in-depth analysis made it possible to: specify the parts of speech that are marked for number, determine the status that a grammatical category has in reference to particular classes of words, define the functional features ascribed to number, as well as show the ways of delineating inconsistent relations between formally determined grammatical meaning of certain words and the numeral aspect of their lexical semantics (i.e. in the case of collective nouns). The paper also focuses on the terminology that was used in the textbook to characterize the category of number, as well as on annotations that raised doubts among Byzantine scholiasts.

In adhesive joints, the integrity of the adhesive and the joined parts results from intermolecular forces. The determinationof the total elastic energy at the interface of two different bodies is possible by introducing the contact problem in the numerical modelof the system. The paper presents the optimization of a single lap adhesive joint by estimating the tensile force causing the joint failureinitiation and its location based on the calculated elastic energy. This approach limits the number of experimental tests. Limitation ofthe estimation, resulting from dimension of the applied finite element mesh, is also considered. The application is demonstrated througha numerical analysis of a quasi-static tension test on a single-lap adhesive joint without spacers. Two models, created based on the describedlimitations, are analyzed. The calculated surface energy values are presented as three-dimensional graphs in the Matlab environmentfor one of the bonding surfaces. The selection of this surface is justified by a brief theoretical analysis.
Réflexions sur la production routinière des jugements d’éloignements par les juges du fond : approche pragmatique et méthodes computationnelles
Authors: Lamé Anouk
Published: January 2025

Depuis septembre 2021, les décisions de la justice administrative sont progressivement et exhaustivement publiées en open data, ouvrant par là un corpus d’une très grande richesse pour les recherches empiriques sur le droit et des opportunités de recherche uniques en Europe. Cependant, un tel matériel, parce qu’il est novateur et unique, requiert de s’équiper d’un outillage méthodologique et conceptuel adapté. C’est à ces deux discussions que cette contribution souhaite apporter des pistes de réflexion, en introduisant un cadre méthodologique inspiré du pragmatisme et des outils dits computationnels, qui permettent d’analyser de larges corpus de données. Il s’agira dans une première partie d’introduire le cadre méthodologique de l’étude et de présenter les récents développements dans la recherche computationnelle sur le droit. Dans une seconde partie seront présentés des résultats empiriques tirés d’un projet de recherche en cours portant sur le rôle des juges dans la définition de l’éloignabilité des étrangers et de la création d’une base de données sur le contentieux de l’éloignement dans les tribunaux administratifs. Ce retour d’expérience est suivi par une discussion conceptuelle qui a pour objectif d’ouvrir un dialogue sur le cadre analytique adapté aux opportunités offertes par l’open data.
Le point de vue de l’archiviste : plus de deux cents ans d’archives à analyser et à repérer à la Cour de cassation
Authors: Bouvier Christophe
Published: January 2025

Les Archives nationales conservent les documents de la Cour de cassation depuis le début du xxe siècle. Les missions de l’archiviste sont de collecter, conserver et communiquer les archives. C’est pour cette raison que les agents du département de la Justice et de l’Intérieur ont pour principal objectif de rendre accessible au plus grand nombre ces documents dans le respect de la réglementation en vigueur (Code du patrimoine et règlement européen 2016/679 relatif à la protection des données à caractère personnel). Comment conjuguer accessibilité et respect du droit de chacun ? Deux cents ans d’existence et six chambres en exercice, cela signifie autant de pratiques de production et de conservation qu’il nous faut expliquer et documenter. Chaque dossier de pourvoi est composé de façon hétérogène et le greffier qui archive le dossier est dépendant des producteurs de pièces d’archives (conseiller rapporteur, avocat général, avocat à la Cour de cassation et Conseil d’État). Comment expliquer l’intérêt pour la source publiée au détriment de la documentation primaire ?
Les archives et le pouvoir : ce que Derrida nous permet de comprendre des décisions du Conseil d’État
Authors: Sultra Victor-Ulysse
Published: January 2025

L’accès aux archives juridictionnelles pour l’étude qualitative du droit a un statut complexe. Les décisions juridictionnelles ne produisent d’effets qu’à partir des textes qui sont publiés par la juridiction. L’étude des décisions juridictionnelles n’aurait donc à utiliser les archives que pour lever les ambiguïtés que la lecture du texte de la décision aura soulevées. Toutefois, un rapport plus riche peut être envisagé entre la décision juridictionnelle et ses archives. Pour cela, il faut étudier à nouveau frais l’articulation entre le dit et le non-dit d’un texte juridictionnel. Les notions de « trace » et d’« archive » chez Derrida sont utiles pour renverser la signification du texte juridictionnel. Elles permettent de concevoir que les juridictions exercent leur pouvoir non seulement au stade du dispositif, mais aussi, et surtout, à travers la motivation de la décision. La décision juridictionnelle consiste alors moins dans un résultat normatif à situer dans un ensemble, qu’un complexe argumentaire sélectif. Il est notoire que les juridictions accordent une importance cruciale aux fondements qu’elles donnent à leurs décisions. Cette importance se traduit par des choix de conserver ou de masquer certaines raisons qui auront convaincu le juge de décider dans un sens ou dans l’autre. Le texte juridictionnel, en tant qu’il masque autant qu’il révèle les raisons du juge, est un bon cas d’étude pour les notions derridiennes de « trace » ou d’« archive ».
Un historien, des images, l’Algérie
Authors: Stora Benjamin
Published: January 2025

Parmi mes nombreux travaux historiques consacrés à l’histoire de l’Algérie, j’ai à la fois utilisé des sources écrites, et aussi des images qui racontent des histoires, construisent une mémoire visuelle. Dans cet article, ce ne sont pas les images fixes (les photographies) qui sont étudiées, mais les images en mouvement, celles du documentaire et de la fiction, à propos de la séquence de la guerre d’Algérie. Comme on le verra, ce fonds d’images est très riche alors que certains se plaignent encore d’un manque, d’une absence, qui n’est véritable que dans quelques cas très précis. Pour le reste, c’est plutôt pléthore : il faut alors faire du tri, analyser, et c’est de cela qu’il est question dans l’article (en particulier via l’inventaire des films de fictions et des documentaires).
Evolution and disinfection of dental impression materials: advances and challenges in dental biosafety
Authors: Bruno Priscila Jaqueline , Miana Vanesa Verónica
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Dentistry focused on oral health and used dental impressions as essential tools for designing prostheses and performing dental treatments. These impressions played a crucial role in providing accurate information about oral tissues and dental arches. However, obtaining impressions carried risks of contamination and transmission of infections for both patients and clinical staff. Adequate disinfection proved to be indispensable to ensure safety and quality in the dental environment.  Development: Historically, impression materials evolved from the use of beeswax and plaster in the 17th century to the incorporation of elastomers in the 20th century. The latter, such as addition silicones and polyethers, were noted for their precision and dimensional stability. In addition, disinfection techniques varied according to the material, with disinfectants such as sodium hypochlorite, glutaraldehyde and quaternary ammonium compounds being used. These practices proved to be effective, but their implementation depended on technical knowledge, available resources and compliance with regulations.  Conclusions: Disinfection of dental impressions was essential to prevent cross-infection and maintain treatment quality. Despite advances in materials and methods, challenges persisted in the uniform adoption of protocols. This analysis highlighted the need for continuing education, updating of guidelines, and promotion of standardized practices to improve biosafety and ensure success in dental care

Published: January 2025

Objective: To assess the association between anti-Ku antibodies and organ damage in common autoimmune connective tissue diseases.
Materials and Method: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective, and prospective study involving 215 patients diagnosed with autoimmune connective tissue diseases, including systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, and overlap syndromes of ACTDs, treated at the National Hospital of Dermatology and Venereology from January 2021 to December 2022. Patients were tested for the presence of anti-Ku antibodies using the ANA 23 profile test kit.
Result: Out of the 215 patients in the study, 60 (27.9%) tested positive for anti-Ku antibodies, predominantly at a weak level (1+). Among these, 43.3% had systemic lupus erythematosus, 10% had systemic sclerosis, 18.3% had dermatomyositis, and 28.3% had overlap syndromes of ACTDs. The group with positive anti-Ku antibodies exhibited a higher incidence of butterfly rash and mouth ulcers. The positive anti-Ku antibody group had a significantly higher rate of elevated muscle enzymes (53.3%) compared to the negative group (29.7%) (p = 0.001). Additionally, the incidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension was 39.5%, with the positive anti-Ku antibody group having a higher rate (61.7%) than the negative group (31%) (p < 0.05). High-resolution computed tomography revealed interstitial lung lesions in 37.2% of the patients, with no significant difference between the positive and negative groups.
Conclusion: Anti-Ku antibodies are relatively prevalent in patients with autoimmune connective tissue diseases, particularly in systemic lupus erythematosus and overlap syndromes of ACTDs. Patients with positive anti-Ku antibodies are at a higher risk of developing acute skin lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus, muscle damage with elevated muscle enzymes, and pulmonary arterial hypertension compared to those without these antibodies.
